:01:03. > :01:06.We've brought the Breakfast Butty Van over

:01:07. > :01:08.to Portrush on the beautiful Northern Irish coast ahead of next

:01:09. > :01:10.week's election to find out what locals here want

:01:11. > :01:17.In sport, two more years for Arsene Wenger.

:01:18. > :01:20.He will extend his 21-year spell as Arsenal manager with an official

:01:21. > :01:26.As Ariana Grande announces she and some of the biggest names

:01:27. > :01:28.in pop will hold a benefit concert for the victims

:01:29. > :01:31.of the Manchester bombing, we'll speak to the man who had

:01:32. > :01:34.to organise it all - in just four days.

:01:35. > :01:47.Good morning. To date will be cloudy across the southern half of the UK,

:01:48. > :01:50.but equally, brightness, Polyanskiy share across the north of the

:01:51. > :01:53.country with pleasant sunshine. More details in 15 minutes. Carol, thank

:01:54. > :01:56.you. Police say a "dangerous" prisoner

:01:57. > :02:00.believed to be armed with a razor blade is on the run after escaping

:02:01. > :02:03.from officers in Wiltshire. The man had been taken

:02:04. > :02:06.to hospital with a head injury, before escaping

:02:07. > :02:08.from guards yesterday evening. Let's get more on this

:02:09. > :02:20.from our correspondent Greg Dawson. The missing man is 30-year-old

:02:21. > :02:25.Michal Kisier and he's been on the run since 7pm last night. Police

:02:26. > :02:30.have issued a couple of photos of him, this is the description of him,

:02:31. > :02:34.5'6", blonde hair, tattooed on his neck and at the time of his escape

:02:35. > :02:39.last night he was wearing grey tracksuit bottoms, like T-shirt and

:02:40. > :02:43.blue trainers. They mentioned he had a head injury, he was being treated

:02:44. > :02:48.in hospital last night when somehow he managed to escape prison guards.

:02:49. > :02:51.Police are clearly concerned this man is dangerous. They have said to

:02:52. > :02:57.people do not approach, if you see him while 999, a manhunt across

:02:58. > :03:04.Wiltshire is taking place involving officers on the ground with police

:03:05. > :03:07.dogs, also from the sky with a police helicopter deployed. Michal

:03:08. > :03:11.Kisier was convicted last year for holding a mother and her teenage

:03:12. > :03:15.daughter in their own homes at knife-point, he was sent to gel for

:03:16. > :03:18.five years for that offence. Police clearly very worried about the

:03:19. > :03:22.threat he may pose to the public, that message again if you think you

:03:23. > :03:27.have seen him, do not approach, dial 999. Greg, thank you.

:03:28. > :03:30.The NHS could have to raise an extra half a billion pounds a year,

:03:31. > :03:33.if British pensioners living in other EU countries have to return

:03:34. > :03:36.That's the warning from a health charity this morning.

:03:37. > :03:39.The Nuffield Trust says the cost of treating them on home

:03:40. > :03:41.soil rather than abroad could cost almost a billion pounds,

:03:42. > :03:49.For many British pensioners it's the appeal of a retirement in the

:03:50. > :03:54.sunshine that attracts them to move to countries like Spain or France.

:03:55. > :03:57.But having the same health care rights as the locals is an important

:03:58. > :04:02.It's part of a reciprocal scheme which the UK pays around ?500

:04:03. > :04:09.It covers nearly 200,000 British expats living out

:04:10. > :04:14.But it's a deal potentially under threat when

:04:15. > :04:20.Brexit happens according to the Nuffield Trust.

:04:21. > :04:24.People, if they had to return from countries whhere

:04:25. > :04:27.they live in the EU to here, retired people, could cost the NHS

:04:28. > :04:31.probably need more hospital beds and nurses to give those people

:04:32. > :04:35.Unless a deal is struck the Trust says pensioners

:04:36. > :04:39.health care and if they returned to Britain for treatment it could cost

:04:40. > :04:43.Last year spending on the NHS in England

:04:44. > :04:47.The Nuffield Trust estimates that the NHS would

:04:48. > :04:49.need around 1600 more doctors, nurses and other workers to provide

:04:50. > :05:03.In response, the Conservative Party says protecting

:05:04. > :05:06.the rights of UK nationals in the EU is one of their priorities for the

:05:07. > :05:09.But the Liberal Democrats said this report is

:05:10. > :05:12.evidence that Theresa May's extreme version of Brexit would be a

:05:13. > :05:14.disaster for the NHS putting huge pressure on hospitals.

:05:15. > :05:16.Labour are yet to comment but had previously

:05:17. > :05:18.accused the Conservatives of starving the NHS.

:05:19. > :05:21.The Nuffield Trust stresses Brexit could be beneficial

:05:22. > :05:25.if the existing EU membership fees are diverted to the NHS.

:05:26. > :05:30.And we'll speak to one of the authors of that report

:05:31. > :05:41.THe 2 main parties are concentrating on their core messages,

:05:42. > :05:44.as campaigning intensifies ahead of the general election next week.

:05:45. > :05:45.Labour will focus on schools and hospitals,

:05:46. > :05:47.claiming the Conservatives have neglected public services.

:05:48. > :05:49.But the Tories say a Labour government would threaten

:05:50. > :05:51.the economy by negotiating a bad Brexit deal.

:05:52. > :06:00.Let's get more from our political correspondent, Chris Mason.

:06:01. > :06:09.Good morning. What's that in your hand? They are back! Good morning,

:06:10. > :06:15.sir. Good morning to you, we are here with a week to go, I've been

:06:16. > :06:20.back as you spotted into my, excuse me, my rucksack this morning to the

:06:21. > :06:25.manifestoes. What are they doing? They are playing the hit records,

:06:26. > :06:28.the greatest hits, they conclude there is no point scrapping around

:06:29. > :06:32.in the back of the cupboard and playing that obscure it be side,

:06:33. > :06:39.they want to talk about their policies that they think stand the

:06:40. > :06:42.best chance is ofed chances of wooing voters with, Labour talking

:06:43. > :06:46.about public services and Conservative investment plans for

:06:47. > :06:51.schools and portables, they say they have the real plan, Labour saying

:06:52. > :06:54.they are proud of this document, a fully costed manifesto on like the

:06:55. > :06:57.Conservatives. Critics ponder whether or not the sums will add up,

:06:58. > :07:02.whether they will generate the amount of tax they promised they

:07:03. > :07:06.will be able to, and as for the Conservatives on this document they

:07:07. > :07:09.focus on Brexit, we saw this from the Prime Minister yesterday and we

:07:10. > :07:14.will continue to see it for the next week but critics saying hang on,

:07:15. > :07:16.Theresa May, we published this, you said the election was about Brexit

:07:17. > :07:22.and when you flick through this, there isn't a great wheel of the

:07:23. > :07:23.tale about it. Thank you, Chris, goal and clear your throat, we will

:07:24. > :07:28.see you later. A 30-year old man has been arrested

:07:29. > :07:31.on suspicion of murder, after the bodies of a woman and 2

:07:32. > :07:34.children were discovered The discovery was made by officers

:07:35. > :07:38.investigating reports of a fuel leak Police say they're not

:07:39. > :07:42.looking for anyone else. 3 men arrested after last week's

:07:43. > :07:44.Manchester bombing have been Detectives are still questioning 11

:07:45. > :07:48.people to try to find out whether the bomber,

:07:49. > :07:51.Salman Abedi, had help. A breast surgeon who carried out

:07:52. > :07:57.a series of unnecessary operations on his patients will be

:07:58. > :08:00.sentenced later today. Ian Paterson was convicted last

:08:01. > :08:02.month of 17 counts of wounding with intent and 3 counts of unlawful

:08:03. > :08:07.wounding, but lawyers claim the number victims

:08:08. > :08:22.could run into the thousands. And actually, we will speak to one

:08:23. > :08:25.of the women he operated on later in the programme.

:08:26. > :08:28.For the first time, a British police force is to recruit people directly

:08:29. > :08:30.to become detectives - without them having to first work

:08:31. > :08:33.The Metropolitan Police hopes the scheme will fill some

:08:34. > :08:36.of the 600 detective vacancies in the force, and attract people

:08:37. > :08:38.with different skills and backgrounds who might not

:08:39. > :08:44.Abuse and bullying in the online gaming world is a growing problem

:08:45. > :08:45.according to new research from anti-bullying

:08:46. > :08:50.Of the 2,500 gamers they surveyed, half had been

:08:51. > :08:58.Here's our technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones.

:08:59. > :09:01.For 16-year-old Bailey, video games have been a big part

:09:02. > :09:04.of his life and were once an escape when he was getting

:09:05. > :09:09.He enjoys pitting his skills against other players online,

:09:10. > :09:11.but what he doesn't like is the abuse he sometimes

:09:12. > :09:17.He first experienced bullying in games when he was ten and it's

:09:18. > :09:22.If I'm playing a game and I score a goal, I've literally been

:09:23. > :09:34.If you're being bullied at school, you come home and play your computer

:09:35. > :09:36.and you are just getting more abuse thrown at you.

:09:37. > :09:39.It's just going to put you off doing anything social.

:09:40. > :09:41.The charity Ditch The Label surveyed 2,500 young gamers.

:09:42. > :09:44.57% said they had been subjected to hate speech in an online game.

:09:45. > :09:47.47% had received threats and 40% had had unwanted sexual contact.

:09:48. > :09:50.What's changed over the last decade is that more and more games

:09:51. > :09:52.are played online and that means young gamers are encountering

:09:53. > :09:58.anonymous people from around the world and chatting with them.

:09:59. > :10:03.That can of course, be very positive, but it also lays them open

:10:04. > :10:05.to the kind of dangers we've seen elsewhere in the online world.

:10:06. > :10:07.The anti-bullying charity worked with the online game

:10:08. > :10:09.'Have A Hotel' to research young gamers' experiences.

:10:10. > :10:15.I think what's so shocking is the fact that it's

:10:16. > :10:18.We had gamers telling us this was just part

:10:19. > :10:25.Bailey says he has now learned not to let abuse get to him,

:10:26. > :10:28.but he wants the games companies to do more to watch over

:10:29. > :10:30.what happens online and to act to stop the bullies.

:10:31. > :10:49.Rehearsals have begun for the concert in Manchester on Sunday when

:10:50. > :10:52.Ariana Grande will appear. The black eyed peas will join the line-up

:10:53. > :10:58.which includes an amazing line-up, Kerry, Justin Bieber, take that and

:10:59. > :11:02.Coldplay. Tickets will go on sale tomorrow at 10am, the proceeds

:11:03. > :11:08.donated to victims and families of those injured. For those who don't

:11:09. > :11:11.get tickets it will be shown on BBC One from six until nine on Sunday

:11:12. > :11:16.evening and those people who went to the concert or had tickets, they

:11:17. > :11:21.will get free tickets. Some say it's too soon to go and that's fine, but

:11:22. > :11:26.if you want to go, picture number into the system. You would imagine

:11:27. > :11:30.they'll have to have quite a robust computer system because you might

:11:31. > :11:34.quite a number of people will be applying. 10am tomorrow, they go on

:11:35. > :11:35.sale, I think you have to preregister today if you are

:11:36. > :11:38.interested. We will clear that up. Stargazers in Australia

:11:39. > :11:41.and New Zealand have been treated to a spectacular show

:11:42. > :11:43.as the Southern Lights swept The Aurora Australis

:11:44. > :11:46.is caused by solar wind - a stream of charged particles

:11:47. > :11:48.escaping the Sun - interacting with Earth's magnetic

:11:49. > :12:01.field and atmosphere. And it produces these amazing

:12:02. > :12:05.scenes. You could have that as a screensaver. Have you seen either in

:12:06. > :12:11.real life? I have seen the Aurora Borealis. Have you? I have never. 12

:12:12. > :12:15.minutes past six. We've also that out for your next holiday. Some

:12:16. > :12:21.people go and they don't see them, that would be so disappointing.

:12:22. > :12:29.Catherine, good morning. We are talking about the not so surprising

:12:30. > :12:33.news that is unfit -- Arsen Wenger will stay at Arsenal but isn't the

:12:34. > :12:38.right choice? And if I were him I would probably have gone out on a

:12:39. > :12:42.high. There is the argument. He probably feels he wants to challenge

:12:43. > :12:46.for the title, he wouldn't do it if he didn't think he had a chance. But

:12:47. > :12:50.he is letting himself in for a mother two seasons... 21 years in

:12:51. > :12:53.charge. There'll be an official

:12:54. > :12:54.announcement later today. Wenger's contract was about to end -

:12:55. > :13:02.Arsenal had finished outside the top four for the first time in twenty

:13:03. > :13:05.years - but victory in the FA Cup Final over Chelsea saw

:13:06. > :13:07.Wenger lift the trophy Thousands of fans took

:13:08. > :13:11.to the streets of Huddersfield yesterday to celebrate reaching

:13:12. > :13:13.the Premier League They beat Reading on penalties

:13:18. > :13:21.through to the second round of the French Open

:13:22. > :13:23.after beating Russia's Andrey Murray now faces the world number 50

:13:24. > :13:27.- Slovakia's Martin Klizan. British number two Kyle Edmund

:13:28. > :13:29.is also through after But British number one

:13:30. > :13:35.Johanna Konta was knocked out Seventh seed Konta is yet

:13:36. > :13:50.to win a match in the main Bit of a surprise there, the women's

:13:51. > :13:56.field in Paris is so wide open with no Serena Williams who is pregnant.

:13:57. > :13:59.And no Maria Sharapova, she did not get into Roland Garros. Everyone

:14:00. > :14:05.expecting Johanna Konta to do well this year but something about the

:14:06. > :14:11.clay does not suit her. She was absolutely gutted, understandably. I

:14:12. > :14:15.feel another sneeze on the way. OK, shall I start the papers? It could

:14:16. > :14:26.come at any moment. Here is a paper to protect you.

:14:27. > :14:32.Let's take a look at this morning's papers.

:14:33. > :14:38.A lot of them are talking about the grand gesture for Manchester, Ariana

:14:39. > :14:45.Grande on the way back to hold this benefit concert, lots of her amazing

:14:46. > :14:50.showbiz friends. Do you think they looked? We will find out from the

:14:51. > :14:55.man who organised it. And then she rings Justin Bieber and he says yes,

:14:56. > :14:58.I will come. There she is again, apologies from a slightly crumpled

:14:59. > :15:03.Guardian newspaper this morning. I think I may have sat on it earlier.

:15:04. > :15:09.And you have the story about Theresa May intensifying the personal

:15:10. > :15:15.attacks on Jeremy Corbyn as the polls narrow. Chris Mason talking

:15:16. > :15:22.about that earlier. The zookeeper story, Rosa King, killed by a tiger,

:15:23. > :15:25.talk about walking into a death trap, the family are asking how the

:15:26. > :15:28.tiger got into the enclosure when she was in there. And the Daily

:15:29. > :15:37.Mirror, the concert of defiance, Katie Parry -- Katy Perry, Coral

:15:38. > :15:41.volumes and take that on the bill. And the Diana death car Oakridge,

:15:42. > :15:49.saying the limousine she died in was a rebuilt wreck. I am looking at

:15:50. > :15:57.Tiger Woods but first, this in the Daily Mail newspaper, but in every

:15:58. > :15:59.newspaper, the French Open, a 21-year-old French male player,

:16:00. > :16:06.interviewed live on television and he started to kiss and apparently

:16:07. > :16:09.groped a female reporter and has had to apologise and had his

:16:10. > :16:15.accreditation revoked, that causing a bit of waste. He says he knows it

:16:16. > :16:19.was wrong and he apologised. That's right, he said I offer my deepest

:16:20. > :16:23.apologies, she said she wanted to Puncheon and she would have done

:16:24. > :16:26.they were not live on air! She should have done. That would have

:16:27. > :16:34.made good pictures. This is Tiger Woods. Obviously, he was, arrested,

:16:35. > :16:39.for driving under the influence, some people say it was because of

:16:40. > :16:43.alcohol, he says it's because of a reaction to medicine he was taking

:16:44. > :16:47.but lots of columnists in the paper saying and dissecting what is going

:16:48. > :16:50.on in his life since he hasn't been playing for so long with back and

:16:51. > :16:55.knee injuries, that kind of fall from being the golden child of golf

:16:56. > :16:59.to somebody struggling to make a comeback and will be hearing from

:17:00. > :17:04.Jack Nicholas at 630, the only man in golf that has one more majors

:17:05. > :17:10.than Tiger golf. But he doesn't do well at the moment. It is -- if it

:17:11. > :17:13.is just prescription drugs, and a cocktail of those, the results said

:17:14. > :17:19.there was no alcohol in his system. Precisely. It could be something

:17:20. > :17:22.completely... Exactly. But whatever he does, he is bound to get the

:17:23. > :17:28.headlines. Everyone getting worried about and, rightly or wrongly.

:17:29. > :17:31.Another story today, 50 minutes added to life expectancy every

:17:32. > :17:37.hours, babies born today will live until 104 according to an ageing

:17:38. > :17:42.expert, we are increasing life expectancy by 50 minutes each hour,

:17:43. > :17:45.Sarah Harper from Oxford University, warned people living longer will

:17:46. > :17:49.trigger acute challenges for society and we will have to rethink the way

:17:50. > :17:54.we live our lives, such as whether marriage should last for a lifetime.

:17:55. > :18:01.Come on! Professor Rex Tillerson Mike sort yourself out! There you

:18:02. > :18:06.go. Or you have to work until you are 85! On the plot, Carol has the

:18:07. > :18:19.weather. It looks so beautiful. Some people feel like they are 104

:18:20. > :18:22.already this morning, Louise! Looking at Sunny spells this

:18:23. > :18:29.morning, the best in the northern half of the country. In the South,

:18:30. > :18:31.this weather front moving south, showers here, but equally, things

:18:32. > :18:36.are brightening through the course of the day. This morning, cloud

:18:37. > :18:40.across south-west England and South Wales and southern counties. Some

:18:41. > :18:47.sea fog in the English Channel, you might find that coming on shore but

:18:48. > :18:51.it shouldn't make too much inroads in the southern counties of England

:18:52. > :18:53.themselves, but you can see there is cloud around,

:18:54. > :18:57.moving to Northern Ireland. After a chilly start,

:18:58. > :19:04.temperatures in single figures, but in the sunshine picking up quite

:19:05. > :19:11.readily. Some sea fog, generally through the RAC, finding that

:19:12. > :19:14.lapping onshore. Looking at some sunshine. North Wales seeing

:19:15. > :19:20.sunshine but the rest of Wales, really cloudy. Through the course of

:19:21. > :19:24.today at times it will brighten up in the south but some medium or high

:19:25. > :19:28.cloud around, we could see some showers developing from mid Wales

:19:29. > :19:32.down to Kent but it could be hit and miss. You will be unlucky if you

:19:33. > :19:35.catch one, if you are in the sunshine and light winds it will

:19:36. > :19:40.feel pleasant with a top temperatures of 24 degrees in the

:19:41. > :19:45.south-east, in Scotland around 20 degrees. This evening and overnight,

:19:46. > :19:49.a lot of dry weather around, elements of cloud and mist and fog

:19:50. > :19:53.forming, not as cold in the north as the night that has just gone but a

:19:54. > :19:58.weather front showing its hand, coming from the West, introducing

:19:59. > :20:02.some rain, the heaviest reaching heights. Tomorrow, starting with

:20:03. > :20:07.rain making inroads from the west across parts of Northern Ireland and

:20:08. > :20:12.Scotland, the wind picking up, a lot of tri- weather for the rest of the

:20:13. > :20:17.UK, this sea fog not too far away from the southern counties of

:20:18. > :20:20.England, the inland penetration of this pretty small. Most of us

:20:27. > :20:30.on the holes, more drizzle as we push further south. Temperatures

:20:31. > :20:36.still on the help the side, looking at 20 - 25, fresher as we pushed to

:20:37. > :20:40.the north-east of Scotland. For Friday, still best weather front

:20:46. > :20:51.that some showers, pretty warm, 35-26 the maximum. The potential for

:20:52. > :20:55.thunderstorms across parts of the south-east and East Anglia, on the

:20:56. > :20:59.other side of that, richer conditions and some showers. If you

:21:00. > :21:03.are wondering about the weekend, here it is, a mixture of sunshine

:21:04. > :21:09.and showers, not all of us seeing showers, not quite as warm, muggy in

:21:10. > :21:15.the south, highs of 21 degrees, in the North around 17 or 18. It's

:21:16. > :21:18.interesting, looking about, it looks like it slashed down the country,

:21:19. > :21:24.dividing temperatures. Carol, thank you. See you later.

:21:25. > :21:26.The Breakfast election Butty Van is continuing to cross the nation

:21:27. > :21:29.as the days tick down to next Thursday's general election.

:21:30. > :21:31.Yesterday we were in glorious Llandudno in Wales, and this morning

:21:32. > :21:34.Steph's crossed the Irish Sea to Portrush in Northern Ireland.

:21:35. > :21:50.She will be with us in a few moments. Hopefully, she will! Out in

:21:51. > :21:53.the meantime... Are we going to show the film in the meantime? Yes, I

:21:54. > :21:57.think we are. You'll find dramatic beauty,

:21:58. > :21:59.all along the north coast And it's scenery that makes

:22:00. > :22:02.a spectacular setting. The series Game Of Thrones uses this

:22:03. > :22:06.area as a filming location and some see in its stories of scheming

:22:07. > :22:08.division and conflict, more than a few similarities

:22:09. > :22:12.with politics in Northern Ireland. Here, many vote, along what are

:22:13. > :22:17.sometimes called tribal lines. You were a unionist if you grew up

:22:18. > :22:20.in a unionist family and you were a Republican

:22:21. > :22:22.if you grew up in All you'll hear is,

:22:23. > :22:26."if you don't vote, some of those And that's coming from both

:22:27. > :22:29.sides of the community. Down through the ages of history

:22:30. > :22:36.and still fought in modern times. Game Of Thrones is a fantasy saga,

:22:37. > :22:47.which tells an epic tale set across continents of a fight

:22:48. > :22:50.for the Iron Throne. The often vicious and violent drama

:22:51. > :22:52.might be worlds away from where so much of it is filmed,

:22:53. > :22:55.but political battles are nothing For politics to work here,

:22:56. > :22:58.people have to share power It's why there's currently no

:22:59. > :23:03.government in Northern Ireland and why this election is proving

:23:04. > :23:06.to be a bitter fight Political deadlock is nothing

:23:07. > :23:14.new on this part of this island, but it is frustrating for those

:23:15. > :23:17.who want to show off what Northern Ireland has to offer,

:23:18. > :23:21.including business owners. They're being asked to vote again

:23:22. > :23:23.at a time when the lack of government at Stormont

:23:24. > :23:25.is preventing decisions I think they should do

:23:26. > :23:32.more for education. They should be doing

:23:33. > :23:35.more for the tourist industry and most of all,

:23:36. > :23:37.they should be trying Yet, years of political progress can

:23:38. > :23:45.be seen with every bus-load The international popularity

:23:46. > :23:50.of Game Of Thrones certainly helps attract them to the caves

:23:51. > :23:54.and castles used as backdrops. But during times when regular

:23:55. > :23:56.violence here was more than just fictional,

:23:57. > :24:00.many wouldn't have come. This is our 12th day now

:24:01. > :24:03.and we just love it, But believe it or not,

:24:04. > :24:08.there's no government No, but that doesn't

:24:09. > :24:14.really surprise me. However, politics is important

:24:15. > :24:17.with challenges like Brexit looming. This is the only part of the UK

:24:18. > :24:20.to share a land border And this Methodist minister,

:24:21. > :24:27.who was a key figure in Northern Ireland's peace process,

:24:28. > :24:34.says stability is needed. Conflict will divide people

:24:35. > :24:38.into camps and people then will go back to voting in their camps

:24:39. > :24:43.and in their tribal traditions. Come on, it's time we moved

:24:44. > :24:46.beyond that, the world has changed, Some feel the fighting

:24:47. > :24:51.between the politicians can be for show, simply because it's

:24:52. > :24:54.good for votes. But it also makes election time

:24:55. > :25:10.a particularly divisive time. Good morning, everyone, that piece

:32:13. > :32:16.unless a deal can be done to let them keep receiving care abroad,

:32:17. > :32:18.a health charity has warned. The Nuffield Trust estimates

:32:19. > :32:21.the cost of treating them on home soil, rather than abroad,

:32:22. > :32:23.could double to ?1 billion. At the moment, the UK gives around

:32:24. > :32:27.500 million a year to EU countries that care for Brits

:32:28. > :32:31.who have retired overseas. The NHS and Brexit are also top

:32:32. > :32:34.of the agenda for the two main political parties

:32:35. > :32:36.as they continue their campaigns ahead of next

:32:39. > :32:40.and hospitals, claiming the Conservatives have

:32:41. > :32:42.neglected public services. But the Tories say a Labour

:32:43. > :32:45.government would threaten the economy by negotiating a bad

:32:46. > :32:49.Brexit deal. Police say a "dangerous" prisoner,

:32:50. > :32:52.believed to be armed with a razor blade, is on the run after escaping

:32:53. > :32:56.officers in Wiltshire. Michel Kisier, who's 30,

:33:01. > :33:02.before fleeing from guards Police are warning the public

:33:03. > :33:09.not to approach him. A 30-year old man has been arrested

:33:39. > :33:46.force is to recruit people directly to become detectives without them

:33:47. > :33:48.having to first work The Metropolitan Police hopes

:33:49. > :33:54.the scheme will fill some of the 600 detective vacancies in the force,

:33:55. > :33:57.and attract people with different skills and backgrounds who might not

:34:58. > :35:00.which is a stream of plasma According to a planetary scientist,

:35:01. > :35:21.the probe will get to about 4.3 Which sounds like a lot, but it is

:35:22. > :35:32.not. Don't they call it Icarus? This is why we want you here. Just facts.

:35:33. > :35:40.We want Kat here for the sport. Arsene Wenger based facsimile, 21

:35:41. > :35:47.years at Arsenal and then he has signed another two-year deal. Lots

:35:48. > :35:52.the debate about that in the paper today. Lots of fans on social media

:35:53. > :35:56.saying he should have gone but others saying he is the most

:35:57. > :36:00.successful manager Arsenal have ever had and we should be celebrating he

:36:01. > :36:06.has decided to stay on. If I was Arsene Wenger, I think I would have

:36:07. > :36:09.gone out on a high after the FA Cup. No Champions League football next,

:36:10. > :36:12.can he attract the star names. We will have to see who stays and goes.

:36:13. > :36:18.Sanchez says he fancies moving on. There'll be an official

:36:19. > :36:21.announcement later today. The decision was made

:36:22. > :36:23.after a meeting with club owner Wenger lifted the FA Cup

:36:24. > :36:27.for a record seventh time after beating Chelsea

:36:28. > :36:28.at the weekend. And while Arsenal finished outside

:36:29. > :36:34.the top 20 for the first time in 20 And while Arsenal finished

:36:35. > :36:36.outside the top four years, Wenger and those in charge

:36:37. > :36:39.at Arsenal have There will be an element

:36:40. > :36:43.who will be so angry, you know? They're already

:36:44. > :36:46.showing their feelings. And then there will be as many,

:36:47. > :36:49.if not more, who'll say, do you know what, we won't get

:36:50. > :36:52.a better manager than Arsene Wenger. There isn't a better

:36:53. > :36:54.one than him around There was a promotion party

:36:55. > :36:59.in Huddersfield yesterday as they paraded the Championship

:37:00. > :37:02.play-off trophy through the town. Thousands of fans gathered

:37:03. > :37:04.to celebrate reaching the Premier League for

:37:18. > :37:20.after beating Russia's Andrey Murray had struggled for form

:37:21. > :37:23.and fitness in the build up to Roland Garros but managed

:37:24. > :37:26.to overcome the first-round test Next up for Murray is

:37:27. > :37:30.Slovakia's Martin Klizan, I was looking forward

:37:31. > :37:36.to getting going today, but I did need the extra time

:37:37. > :37:39.on the practice court and by getting a Tuesday start,

:37:40. > :37:42.that allowed me to get some good practice in after missing a couple

:37:43. > :37:45.of days at the beginning So I was actually quite happy

:37:46. > :37:51.to wait until Tuesday and obviously But there was a shock

:37:52. > :38:00.for Johanna Konta. The British number one

:38:01. > :38:02.lost to world number 109 The seventh seed took the first set

:38:03. > :38:08.6-1 but the tide turned Defeat yesterday means Konta

:38:09. > :38:11.still has never won a match Golf legend Jack Nicklaus says that

:38:12. > :38:20.everyone involved in the game needs to help Tiger Woods who was arrested

:38:24. > :38:27.winner of 14 Majors, was asleep at the wheel

:38:31. > :38:37.of incidents involving the former world number one,

:38:38. > :38:40.who has only played sporadically due He's been great for the game of golf

:38:41. > :38:49.and I think he needs all our help And I wish him well,

:38:50. > :38:55.I hope he gets out of it, He needs a lot of support from a lot

:38:56. > :39:03.of people and I'll be one of them. And the BBC Women's Footballer

:39:04. > :39:08.of the Year 2017 has been awarded to Olympique Lyonnais and Norway

:39:09. > :39:12.striker Ada Hegerberg. But there was a shock in store

:39:13. > :39:15.when she received the award. Her sister Andrine, who plays

:39:16. > :39:17.for Birmingham, turned up to surprise her and present

:39:18. > :39:36.the trophy in France. And, she is in the final of the

:39:37. > :39:44.Champions League tomorrow. It is a massive day for Cardiff tomorrow

:39:45. > :39:48.because the women and the men's are playing there.

:39:49. > :39:50.Around 190,000 British pensioners live abroad in European

:39:51. > :39:52.countries like Spain, and at the moment, they get

:39:53. > :39:56.their health-care paid for as part of an EU-backed scheme.

:39:57. > :39:59.But there's a warning this morning that the NHS would have to find

:40:00. > :40:02.an extra ?500 million to pay for the care of these British expats

:40:03. > :40:05.should they come back to the UK after Brexit.

:40:06. > :40:08.Mark Dayan is one of the authors of that report and he's

:40:09. > :40:23.Thanks for joining us. Explain how the system works at the moment? Some

:40:24. > :40:27.British pensioners who live on the European continent can get health

:40:28. > :40:34.care on the same terms as people who are resident in those European

:40:35. > :40:37.countries under this so-called S1 scheme where the British government

:40:38. > :40:42.pays other countries to take care of them. If we leave the EU, that

:40:43. > :40:45.scheme, unless we do something about it, will come to an end and these

:40:46. > :40:51.pensioners will probably have to come back to the UK and use the NHS

:40:52. > :40:56.if they need to be taken care of. The financial cost could be more

:40:57. > :41:02.than it is to pay to take care of these people in Europe. There is the

:41:03. > :41:07.extra nurses and staff that we need which are already short supply. We

:41:08. > :41:15.don't know whether or not it will come to an end, so how have you put

:41:16. > :41:21.a figure on it. That is estimating how much it will cost the NHS to

:41:22. > :41:29.take care of people of that age group, relative to what we pay now.

:41:30. > :41:34.If we don't sort out medicines licensing on an EU wide basis, the

:41:35. > :41:37.price of medicines could be 100 million and if migration is closed

:41:38. > :41:42.off, we could have to pay more for domestic staff. Whilst there are

:41:43. > :41:47.opportunities with Brexit as well, there are a number of things that

:41:48. > :41:51.need to be carefully looked at. You mention paying for stuff, this is a

:41:52. > :41:58.sector we know it is at the bottom in some ways, which people don't get

:41:59. > :42:03.paid much, will they be paid more? Absolutely, there may be a case for

:42:04. > :42:07.that. All we are saying is, if we leave the EU and cut-off migration,

:42:08. > :42:13.that there may be no alternative. That means more money than any of

:42:14. > :42:21.the political parties have been willing to pay up for the NHS so

:42:22. > :42:26.far. Whoever is in governments, will not look at this specifically, it is

:42:27. > :42:31.that the problem? There is the risk the NHS is not at the centre of

:42:32. > :42:34.negotiations with the EU, it is a public service that serves British

:42:35. > :42:40.people. In the past, negotiations from inside the EU hasn't always

:42:41. > :42:43.necessarily been taken into account. We are keen policymakers do keep it

:42:44. > :42:49.that the centre of their vision when they are thinking about a whole

:42:50. > :42:54.range of things in the Brexit negotiation with the EU. We don't

:42:55. > :42:57.know if it will be part of the negotiations, also how many of those

:42:58. > :43:04.pensioners would choose to come back to the UK for treatment either? I

:43:05. > :43:09.suppose the situation we are concerned about it would be one in

:43:10. > :43:12.which that coverage they have now is withdrawn and unfortunately, even if

:43:13. > :43:20.they prefer to stay, they may have no choice but to return to the UK

:43:21. > :43:27.because they don't necessarily -- can necessarily afford the

:43:28. > :43:29.treatment. That is what we are most concerned about. Thank you for your

:43:30. > :43:32.time. You're watching

:43:33. > :43:41.Breakfast from BBC News. Rehearsals have begun for a benefit

:44:12. > :44:15.gorgeous, it won't be too far off this in the Lake District today.

:44:16. > :44:21.Foremost, it will be largely dry. A few showers in the forecast for the

:44:22. > :44:24.South and fair bit of sunshine particularly in the north. High

:44:25. > :44:28.pressure in charge of our weather and we have a week by the front is

:44:29. > :44:33.sinking salvo that why it is cloudy in southern areas at the moment and

:44:34. > :44:37.it will produce one or two showers. Through the North Midlands, Northern

:44:38. > :44:40.end, beautiful start and temperatures picking up quickly.

:44:41. > :44:45.Beautiful across much of Scotland as well with a lot of sunshine around

:44:46. > :44:50.after a chilly start and the same for Northern Ireland. Beautiful Day

:44:51. > :44:56.for you, staying dry. Across the Irish Sea, there is some sea fog and

:44:57. > :45:00.that might come onto shore. Across northern Wales, a lot of sunshine.

:45:01. > :45:04.Into southern Wales and the south-west and we're looking at more

:45:05. > :45:08.cloud this morning. Drifting across southern counties through Hampshire,

:45:09. > :45:12.into the South Midlands and into Kent and East Anglia, we have a fair

:45:13. > :45:17.bit of cloud around first thing. Through the course of the day the

:45:18. > :45:22.cloud will break up. Not immune from showers from mid Wales heading

:45:23. > :45:26.towards Ken. Most will miss them all together but there will be won or

:45:27. > :45:33.two around. Coastal mist and fog which could come onto shore at

:45:34. > :45:38.times. Top temperatures, 23, 24 in the south-east, 19, 20 into the

:45:39. > :45:42.North. Light winds in the sunshine and it will feel nice. Overnight

:45:43. > :45:46.there will be dry weather, quite a bit of cloud at times so for

:45:47. > :45:50.Scotland, northern England and North Wales it will be as cold as the one

:45:51. > :45:56.just gone. We will have this sea fog lapping onshore because parts of

:45:57. > :46:00.Kent and into the south-eastern corner generally and another weather

:46:01. > :46:02.from waiting. That will be progressing steadily south eastwards

:46:03. > :46:09.through the course of the day. The heaviest rain will be with height

:46:10. > :46:12.and at lower levels it will be drizzle. The winds will start to

:46:13. > :46:15.strengthen. The head of that for England and Wales, a dry day with

:46:16. > :46:23.sunshine and the cloud building ahead of this weather front. 11 to

:46:24. > :46:27.16. In the sunshine we are looking at 20, 25, possibly even 26 but if

:46:28. > :46:31.you are under the sea fog, the temperature will be lower. On Friday

:46:32. > :46:38.we have a weather front producing the rain. It is sinking slowly south

:46:39. > :46:41.eastwards. The head of it, a lot of sunshine, high humidity and there is

:46:42. > :46:49.the potential for thunderstorms coming in across the South East and

:46:50. > :46:53.Kent generally. 23, 25, 26 not without the realms of possibility

:46:54. > :46:59.but behind it, fresh conditions with a few showers. Variable amounts of

:47:00. > :47:03.cloud. On Saturday will lose the weather front. Generally dry with

:47:04. > :47:07.some sunny spells, a few showers coming in from the West but not a

:47:08. > :47:16.lot of us will see them. It will feel fresh. 12 to 17 in the north,

:47:17. > :47:24.but in the South, and more pleasant 21 in London. So not too shabby at

:47:25. > :47:28.all. We are heading for a decent weekend then, Carol? We are, there

:47:29. > :47:32.will be showers around, but we still need a showers, as we are always

:47:33. > :47:40.saying. Thank you very much indeed, Carol.

:47:41. > :47:51.This morning Steph's taken the Breakfast election Butty Van

:47:52. > :47:53.to the coast of Northern Ireland to find out what people

:47:54. > :48:00.there want when it comes to supporting their economy.

:48:01. > :48:16.Steph is planning to have granola for you next week.

:48:17. > :48:26.She is on the beach in Northern Ireland. Good morning. Louise, we

:48:27. > :48:32.have fruit for you. I am feeling the wind, but it is gorgeous here. I am

:48:33. > :48:36.in Portrush, but far into the distance, there are people in the

:48:37. > :48:42.water, they are surfing at the moment. I can see their heads

:48:43. > :48:47.bobbing up and down. This is a beautiful seaside resort in Northern

:48:48. > :48:51.Ireland. About 7000 people live here. It is a place where lots of

:48:52. > :48:55.people will be voting along with the rest of us in the UK next week. We

:48:56. > :49:03.have come to talk to business people and to the locals who do various

:49:04. > :49:05.different jobs in the area about what they want to hear from the

:49:06. > :49:11.politicians in the run-up to the election. We have been taking the

:49:12. > :49:15.Breakfast but he ran across the UK, down to Holyhead yesterday, across

:49:16. > :49:19.the Irish Sea and to hear. We will be looking at what Brexit means to

:49:20. > :49:25.them given they are on the border with Ireland. We have some guests

:49:26. > :49:31.gathered together. Thank you for joining us. Let me start with you,

:49:32. > :49:36.you are an architect, what do you want to hear in the run-up to the

:49:37. > :49:39.election, what will make a difference to you. I want to hear

:49:40. > :49:45.certainty, we don't know anything at the moment so we have to be ready to

:49:46. > :49:51.get on with it. When he is a certainty, do you mean Brexit?

:49:52. > :49:55.Absolutely, there is too much uncertainty, uncertainty in the

:49:56. > :50:01.political world and uncertainty as to what will occur after Brexit and

:50:02. > :50:05.we need more direction. What are the types of things you want to know? I

:50:06. > :50:13.want to know how we will deal with our border? We have a border with

:50:14. > :50:17.Northern Ireland and it is a struggle, folks in Londonderry are

:50:18. > :50:25.concerned about how they go across the border, other folks in Newry are

:50:26. > :50:29.concerned and in Portrush, it is a brilliant location, but we need to

:50:30. > :50:33.know what the rest of the picture is going to be. Anthony, you are in

:50:34. > :50:39.financial services, is it the same for you? Yes, another uncertainty is

:50:40. > :50:43.whether we can get our local elected government at Stormont up and

:50:44. > :50:50.running. I do feel that electioneering doesn't compromise

:50:51. > :50:57.what is needed between the political parties at Stormont, so I feel the

:50:58. > :51:01.election is actually, the general election is putting the breakdown of

:51:02. > :51:10.effective government of the regional level. And that is more important to

:51:11. > :51:17.you? Yes. How is business for you at the moment, how is the financial

:51:18. > :51:23.sector doing here? Not too bad, the markets aren't as skittish as they

:51:24. > :51:27.have been and with the low interest rates available through the banks,

:51:28. > :51:34.people are getting a return on their investments. What is your

:51:35. > :51:39.background? It is around skills? We are focused on the knowledge economy

:51:40. > :51:43.and how we develop that in Northern Ireland. Research is important so we

:51:44. > :51:49.are looking for investment in world-class research, but this is

:51:50. > :51:53.about new technology. It is important our education system is

:51:54. > :51:58.preparing young people for this new, emerging economy. As the guys were

:51:59. > :52:01.saying, skills are important, a lot of people are working in the

:52:02. > :52:06.different sectors from outside of the UK. Certainty around what their

:52:07. > :52:10.position is, being able to stay in Northern Ireland and how we access

:52:11. > :52:17.skills when we need them. There is a lot of young people here, under 25.

:52:18. > :52:22.So you are managing what skills they will have? Yes, and the challenges,

:52:23. > :52:26.we don't know in the next ten years what the jobs will be because the

:52:27. > :52:31.pace of change is so fast. It is about making sure they have those

:52:32. > :52:36.skills around critical thinking, being very agile in problem-solving.

:52:37. > :52:40.As an economist, looking at this region of Northern Ireland, how does

:52:41. > :52:46.it differ to the UK? A lot of the issues we're talking about is what

:52:47. > :52:53.the rest of the UK is talking about? Yes, it has pockets of brilliance

:52:54. > :52:58.from cyber security, media and film, terrific performance, but not enough

:52:59. > :53:02.of that, over all its economic performance would be broadly similar

:53:03. > :53:07.to the Welsh or the north-east economy. Below potential, but within

:53:08. > :53:12.it, pockets of world-class brilliance. What would make a

:53:13. > :53:17.difference? We have structural problems, a private sector that

:53:18. > :53:21.struggles to grow. We rely on money coming in from great Britain to come

:53:22. > :53:26.over to keep public services, which need a lot of transformation and

:53:27. > :53:29.modernisation. We need to make structural choices, but ultimately

:53:30. > :53:34.we need a bigger private sector, they get tax base to pay for the

:53:35. > :53:38.public services we need. We will warm you up as well, because I am

:53:39. > :53:43.impressed you haven't got coats on, some of you. I am ashamed as a

:53:44. > :53:47.northerner, I shouldn't have my coat on. But now, let's get the news,

:53:48. > :57:25.travel and weather where you are. We are going to show you some of the

:57:26. > :57:31.front pages again this morning. Would start with the Daily Express.

:57:32. > :57:39.Thousands are trying to sneak into Britain this summer and their

:57:40. > :57:45.picture is a little girl, Mia Turner, who Prince Harry Met at the

:57:46. > :57:51.Invictus Games and stole Prince Harry's heart. Most of the pictures

:57:52. > :57:56.have Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber as they get set to take part in the

:57:57. > :58:07.benefit concert in Manchester this weekend.

:58:08. > :58:11.The Telegraph, a grand jester -- grand gesture for Manchester. But

:58:12. > :58:14.they are putting on a secret plan from Labour to allow thousands of

:58:15. > :58:19.unskilled migrants to come in after Brexit. It has seen by the Daily

:58:20. > :58:25.Telegraph and the Daily Mail, they have seen leaked documents. And the

:58:26. > :58:30.horrible story about Rosa King killed in the zoo, as to why the

:58:31. > :58:34.Tiger got into the enclosure when she was in it.

:58:35. > :58:39.We will be talking about Jeremy Corbyn on The one Show. Another

:58:40. > :58:47.interview he took place was on women's hour with Emma Barnett. The

:58:48. > :58:50.front page says it feels a new anti-Semitism row. A few people

:58:51. > :58:54.attacking Emma Barnett for interviewing Jeremy Corbyn ace-king

:58:55. > :59:04.about the cost of labour policy he was launching that they and he

:59:05. > :59:11.didn't know the cost. And a poll is predicting a shock Tory loss and a

:59:12. > :59:18.hung parliament. We all take the polls with a large pinch of salt.

:59:19. > :59:22.Jeremy Corbyn was on The one Show last night. Theresa May was on with

:59:23. > :59:27.her husband a few weeks ago. We will be talking about how he did from a

:59:28. > :59:30.supporter and somebody not so supportive.

:59:31. > :59:36.You can email us at bbcbreakfast@bbc.co.uk

:59:37. > :00:11.Hello this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

:00:12. > :00:15.Rehearsals begin for Ariana Grande's benefit concert for the victims

:00:16. > :00:21.Some of the biggest names in pop will join the singer on the stage

:00:22. > :00:24.in the city on Sunday night - with more acts

:00:25. > :00:47.Last night, Liam Gallagher played an emotional concert in the city

:00:48. > :00:53.telling Good morning, it's

:00:54. > :00:54.Wednesday 31st May. A warning of extra costs for the NHS

:00:55. > :01:03.if British pensioners living in other EU countries have to return

:01:04. > :01:09.home for health care after Brexit. A breast surgeon who carried out

:01:10. > :01:12.life-changing and unnecessary operations on his patients will be

:01:13. > :01:14.sentenced later - we'll hear We've brought the

:01:15. > :01:21.Breakfast Butty Van over to Portrush on the beautiful

:01:22. > :01:24.Northern Irish coast ahead of next week's election to find out

:01:25. > :01:36.what locals here want we'll bring you sunshine, the sea

:01:37. > :01:41.and surf and some uncertainty as we talk about politics, people going

:01:42. > :01:44.back to the polls here, three months after they last voted, election

:01:45. > :01:47.fights here are rather different and rather rough.

:01:48. > :01:49.In sport, two more years for Arsene Wenger.

:01:50. > :01:52.He will extend his 21-year spell as Arsenal manager with an official

:01:53. > :02:12.Good morning, a chilly start but a dry day ahead, for England and

:02:13. > :02:15.Wales, more cloud, and some showers. More details in a little while.

:02:16. > :02:29.Thank you. Rehearsals are under way for a

:02:30. > :02:36.concert which sees Ariana Grande return to Manchester after the bomb

:02:37. > :02:44.attack. Last night, Liam Gallagher played a concert in the city.

:02:45. > :02:46.He has told Manchester that 'normal service has resumed'

:02:47. > :02:53.during an emotional gig in the city last night, which was filled

:02:54. > :03:01.Liam Gallaher, back in Manchester, act on stage, looking back to the

:03:02. > :03:06.events last week. 22 candles lined up in front of the drum kit, one for

:03:07. > :03:12.each person killed in the terrorist attack and it did not take him long

:03:13. > :03:19.to issue a defiant statement. Local -- normal business has resumed!

:03:20. > :03:29.Singing between the songs, the audience spontaneously bursting into

:03:30. > :03:34.chanting, stand up for the 22. This was one of Manchester's a guest

:03:35. > :03:37.music stars returning home to deliver a set including away six

:03:38. > :03:41.classics like live forever, rock and roll star, one song noticeable by

:03:42. > :03:46.its absence, the one that has become an anthem or unity over the last

:03:47. > :03:52.week, don't look back in anger. But then it was noble who signed up. --

:03:53. > :03:58.it was noble Gallaher who signed that. Liam did not sing it but the

:03:59. > :04:08.fans did. Staying behind inside the venue long after the show ended.

:04:09. > :04:20.# Don't look back in anger, I heard you say. Uihlein you can feel the

:04:21. > :04:26.heart of the people, it was so emotional, I've felt this is exactly

:04:27. > :04:33.what Manchester needed. Always this reunion was also -- always highly

:04:34. > :04:37.unlikely but it surprised many that Noel Gallaher is not on the line-up

:04:38. > :04:41.for the fundraising show this Sunday, could he a surprise of the

:04:42. > :04:46.day or perhaps join Coldplay for a version of the song which has become

:04:47. > :04:47.the soundtrack to a city dry to move on? Colin Paterson, BBC News.

:04:48. > :04:58.Manchester. Going to be quite a line, black eye

:04:59. > :05:04.peas, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Coldplay, take that, Usher amongst

:05:05. > :05:11.others. Nile Horan is going to be there as well, the concert being

:05:12. > :05:14.held at the Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground this Sunday, a

:05:15. > :05:19.combined system, tickets going on sale tomorrow at 10am, if you

:05:20. > :05:23.attended the original Ariana Grande construct you can register to attend

:05:24. > :05:27.the concert for free and you can register now, if you went to the the

:05:28. > :05:33.Manchester Arena last week you can go onto the website, register and do

:05:34. > :05:37.that by 4pm today. If you went to the concert last week and you would

:05:38. > :05:43.like to go for free, do that before 4pm today, tickets go on general

:05:44. > :05:47.release 10am tomorrow morning. We will speak to someone who was at the

:05:48. > :05:49.concert and he has also applied a ready and the concert organiser as

:05:50. > :05:53.well. The NHS could have to raise an extra

:05:54. > :05:56.half a billion pounds a year, if British pensioners living

:05:57. > :05:59.in other EU countries have to return That's the warning from a health

:06:00. > :06:02.charity this morning. The Nuffield Trust says the cost

:06:03. > :06:05.of treating them on home soil rather than abroad could cost

:06:06. > :06:07.almost a billion pounds, For many British pensioners it's

:06:08. > :06:12.the appeal of a retirement in the sunshine that attracts them to move

:06:13. > :06:15.to countries like Spain or France. But having the same health care

:06:16. > :06:19.rights as the locals is an important It's part of a reciprocal scheme

:06:20. > :06:24.which the UK pays around ?500 It covers nearly 200,000

:06:25. > :06:29.British expats living out But it's a deal potentially

:06:30. > :06:37.under threat when Brexit happens according

:06:38. > :06:44.to the Nuffield Trust. People, if they had to return

:06:45. > :06:46.from countries where they live in the EU to here, retired people,

:06:47. > :06:49.could cost the NHS probably need more hospital beds

:06:50. > :06:53.and nurses to give those people Unless a deal is struck

:06:54. > :06:56.the Trust says pensioners health care and if they returned to

:06:57. > :07:01.Britain for treatment it could cost Last year spending

:07:02. > :07:06.on the NHS in England The Nuffield Trust estimates

:07:07. > :07:11.that the NHS would need around 1600 more doctors,

:07:12. > :07:14.nurses and other workers to provide In response, the Conservative

:07:15. > :07:20.Party says protecting the rights of UK nationals in the EU

:07:21. > :07:24.is one of their priorities for the But the Liberal Democrats

:07:25. > :07:29.said this report is evidence that Theresa May's extreme

:07:30. > :07:32.version of Brexit would be a disaster for the NHS putting huge

:07:33. > :07:38.pressure on hospitals. Labour are yet to comment

:07:39. > :07:40.but had previously accused the Conservatives

:07:41. > :07:48.of starving the NHS. The NHS and Brexit are also top

:07:49. > :07:53.of the agenda for the 2 main political parties

:07:54. > :07:55.as they continue their campaigns ahead of next

:07:56. > :07:57.week's general election. Labour will focus on

:07:58. > :07:58.schools and hospitals, claiming the Conservatives have

:07:59. > :08:02.neglected public services. But the Tories say a Labour

:08:03. > :08:05.government would threaten the economy by negotiating a bad

:08:06. > :08:09.deal when leaving the EU. Let's get more from our political

:08:10. > :08:21.correspondent, Chris Mason. As always, he has the manifesto is

:08:22. > :08:24.armed and ready to go, but Chris, what should we know today? Good

:08:25. > :08:30.morning, it is a week and a day to go, the two dig TARDIS, art, if you

:08:31. > :08:35.like, playing their hit records, the favourite songs, no time for the

:08:36. > :08:38.gusty old B-sides that no one heard of. Let's talk about the stuff in

:08:39. > :08:44.their view that they think will tempt and woo voters in their

:08:45. > :08:49.direction. Labour talking about spending on the NHS and schools,

:08:50. > :08:54.suggesting the Conservatives if they want another five-year term would

:08:55. > :08:58.imperil the future of the health service and schools. Labour or proud

:08:59. > :09:02.of this, the manifesto, fully costed, falling over themselves to

:09:03. > :09:09.say it was fully costed when Jeremy Corbyn got himself in a tangle

:09:10. > :09:13.yesterday not woman's our interview. The Conservatives focus on Brexit,

:09:14. > :09:16.seeing that as Central, the justification that Theresa May used

:09:17. > :09:20.for calling this general election in the first place. Some awkward

:09:21. > :09:24.questions for the Conservatives, look through this, their manifesto,

:09:25. > :09:30.for an election called about Brexit, the details about the Brexit plan,

:09:31. > :09:31.pretty thin on the ground. Chris Mason, thank you. We will speak to

:09:32. > :09:35.you as ever very soon. blade is on the run after escaping

:09:36. > :09:41.from officers in Wiltshire. The man had been taken

:09:42. > :09:44.to hospital with a head injury, before escaping

:09:45. > :09:49.from guards yesterday evening. Police are warning the public not to

:09:50. > :09:55.approach him. Afghan police say a powerful

:09:56. > :10:00.car bomb has exploded Officials say at least

:10:01. > :10:05.9 people were killed in the explosion, which happened

:10:06. > :10:11.during the city's rush hour. More than 90 people have been

:10:12. > :10:16.injured. A man has been arrested,

:10:17. > :10:19.after the bodies of a woman and two children were discovered in a flat

:10:20. > :10:22.in the Toxteth area of Liverpool. Let's join our reporter

:10:23. > :10:24.Frankie McCamley, who is at the scene

:10:25. > :10:25.for us this morning. Frankie, what's the latest

:10:26. > :10:34.you can tell us? Emergency service called to this

:10:35. > :10:40.road around 7:30pm yesterday evening, reporting and responding to

:10:41. > :10:44.a gas leak. They cleared nearby streets, telling people to stay in

:10:45. > :10:48.their homes. Police arrived at a ground-floor flat, finding the

:12:10. > :12:12.with intent and 3 counts of unlawful wounding.

:12:13. > :12:14.Let's take a look at how the case unfolded.

:12:15. > :12:17.Ian Paterson operated on over 4000 patients on the NHS and many more

:12:18. > :12:20.In 2007, an NHS investigation began into his work.

:12:21. > :12:23.In 2011, he was suspended by the heart of England trust and 642

:12:24. > :12:30.In 2013, an independent report highlighted

:12:31. > :12:34.concerns dating all the way back to 2003.

:12:35. > :12:37.Last month, Ian Paterson was found guilty of numerous counts of

:12:38. > :12:43.We're joined now by Cheryl Iommi who was wrongly

:12:44. > :12:52.from the Association of Breast Surgery.

:12:53. > :12:59.Thank you both for being with us this morning. Cheryl, can we start

:13:00. > :13:04.with you, how did you first meet this man and how did those

:13:05. > :13:08.discussions, I suppose, how did they progress and how do you feel now

:13:09. > :13:17.looking back? I first met him in 2003, I was referred to him for a

:13:18. > :13:24.lump in my right side. I went for surgery, and woke to find he'd

:13:25. > :13:29.operated on both my breasts. It was only meant to be on one side. It

:13:30. > :13:36.should have been on one side and I woke up and I'd been operated on

:13:37. > :13:42.both sides. I was quite disfigured on the left-hand side, later I had

:13:43. > :13:48.to pay for reconstruction to look a little bit better. Which later

:13:49. > :13:55.ruptured. So that was another operation I had to go through. Then

:13:56. > :14:05.in 2010, I still had a lump on my right side so I went back privately,

:14:06. > :14:12.and he said, you know, I will remove it, which, yes, why wouldn't I? I

:14:13. > :14:19.believed that it needed removing. Then, after the surgery, he said me

:14:20. > :14:26.in was on the week, after surgery I went back for a referral, yes, and

:14:27. > :14:34.he said, we are lucky we caught this in time, it was crystallising, and

:14:35. > :14:40.it was showing signs that it was going to turn to cancer. So I left

:14:41. > :14:48.my appointment with a prescription for a cancer drug and it was only

:14:49. > :14:54.for the fact that I don't like taking tablets that I wouldn't take

:14:55. > :15:01.them, but I noticed that I still had a lump on my right side so with this

:15:02. > :15:07.panic now of cancer I went back to my GP and I said, you know, I've got

:15:08. > :15:14.a lump, I want it looking at and he referred me back to the national

:15:15. > :15:21.health to another consultant. I had another mammogram, a scan, they said

:15:22. > :15:26.it was fine, so... Was all the surgery he gave you entirely

:15:27. > :15:30.unnecessary? Yes. How does that make you feel? When I look at what he's

:15:31. > :15:38.done to me and the results of what he's done, I don't feel good about

:15:39. > :15:41.it. And he was telling you these were... In fact, it was scar tissue

:15:42. > :15:45.left over from the botched operation? I went back to the

:15:46. > :15:51.national health twice. Panicking that this lump which was scar

:15:52. > :15:58.tissue, was cancer. I'm not surprised Andrew not alone in this,

:15:59. > :16:02.you? The lawyers say Ian Paterson could have had hundreds if not

:16:03. > :16:06.thousands of other victims, convicted of 17 counts of winding

:16:07. > :16:12.with intent, three counts of unlawful wounding, how was this able

:16:13. > :16:18.to happen? Good morning, and thank you for having me on. The lady you

:16:19. > :16:21.were talking to is so brave, but telling her story, without and the

:16:22. > :16:27.bravery of other members of the public we would not be in a position

:16:28. > :16:30.to make progress and at the Association of breast surgery we

:16:31. > :16:33.would sympathise with the patients. Clearly there were problems and

:16:34. > :16:39.there have been mistakes in the management of this locally but there

:16:40. > :16:43.are two big reports, the Kennedy report and the Harris report,

:16:44. > :16:46.Kennedy dealing with the NHS and Harris with the private sector

:16:47. > :16:51.looking at this in detail, putting things in place to make sure systems

:16:52. > :16:56.are a more robust and hopefully it should not happen again. OK, what

:16:57. > :16:59.about, we are talking about, but could be other people out there who

:17:00. > :17:04.are concerned so what sort of thing should they be doing? What we would

:17:05. > :17:10.like to reassure them at the Association of breast surgery we

:17:11. > :17:13.have 80-90% member of breast surgeons in the UK, we aim to make

:17:14. > :17:18.the standard the highest available in the world and of divisions have

:17:19. > :17:21.any concerns please go back to their clinician, to the multidisciplinary

:17:22. > :17:24.team members, ask the question and picture they get appropriate

:17:25. > :17:27.answers. At the heart of what we do we want to make things as good as we

:17:28. > :17:31.can for patients and I think we do, this is one surgeon acting in

:17:32. > :17:35.isolation which does not reflect the way breast surgery should be carried

:17:36. > :17:39.out in the UK. Cheryl, lots of people have spoken about this god

:17:40. > :17:43.complex they think he had, looking back did you see that, did you think

:17:44. > :17:53.you wanted control over you and others? Yes, I do. He had got

:17:54. > :17:57.himself to this high... He was high up in his world... And he was

:17:58. > :18:01.respected. Yes. I think he thought he could do what he wanted. When you

:18:02. > :18:07.think about the sentencing today, what do you want to see happen? I

:18:08. > :18:11.would like him to have a sentence long enough for him to reflect on

:18:12. > :18:17.what he's done to people. Because we've had this sentence that we have

:18:18. > :18:24.to live with so... Hopefully he will be able to... Just, think about what

:18:25. > :18:27.he's done to us. Thank you so much for coming in and sharing your

:18:28. > :18:32.story. Really good to hear from you. Thank you both. It is 80 minutes

:18:33. > :18:36.past seven, you are watching BBC Breakfast. -- 18 minutes.

:18:37. > :18:44.Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

:18:45. > :18:50.Some of us have sunshine already. Showers developing later, today

:18:51. > :18:53.high-pressure firmly in charge of the weather but we have a weak

:18:54. > :19:00.weather front Gooding South. That will produce showers later, also

:19:01. > :19:06.producing a fair bit of cloud. England and Wales, some high cloud

:19:07. > :19:10.across parts of Scotland and medium level cloud across Northern Ireland

:19:11. > :19:13.but in between, we start with sunshine. Northern England, a fine

:19:14. > :19:18.start, chilly, temperatures picking up quickly. We have cloud across

:19:19. > :19:24.Scotland but it will break and not particularly thick cloud anyway, a

:19:25. > :19:30.fine day, the same for Northern Ireland. Some see fog in the Irish

:19:31. > :19:33.Sea and that will lap onto east of Northern Ireland, south-west

:19:34. > :19:37.Scotland and North West England, possibly North West Wales. North

:19:38. > :19:40.Wales, beautiful start, dry sunny, South, to the rest of Wales in

:19:41. > :19:46.south-west England, back into cloud and that continuing across southern

:19:47. > :19:51.counties, Hampshire, the Midlands, in three Essex and down in the

:19:52. > :19:56.direction of Kent. Can't help but notice the sea floor, some of this

:19:57. > :20:01.could lap on short as we go through the course of the day. Further

:20:02. > :20:06.showers across Wales, the Midlands, down towards Kent but not all of us

:20:07. > :20:07.will see them and in light winds, especially in the sunshine, feeling

:20:08. > :20:14.quite pleasant. In the north, temperatures reaching 20 agrees, in

:20:15. > :20:20.the south, reaching a maximum of 24. This evening and overnight, areas of

:20:21. > :20:24.cloud, not going to be as chilly a start across Scotland, northern

:20:25. > :20:28.England, North Wales and Northern Ireland, see fog, some of that

:20:29. > :20:31.coming inland across the south-east, you will notice a weather front

:20:32. > :20:37.waiting in the wings to introduce Ring. But rain moving across

:20:38. > :20:40.Northern Ireland, western Scotland, the heaviest on the hills and it

:20:41. > :20:44.will be accompanied by a strengthening wind. Kinsey cloud

:20:45. > :20:49.cover building, for England and Wales, fine day ahead, try than

:20:50. > :20:55.today, losing the showers. Also looking at sunshine but don't

:20:56. > :20:59.forget, the chance of see fog lapping onshore, inland penetration,

:21:00. > :21:02.won't be that great. I Tay Bridge as of 26 degrees, something fresher

:21:03. > :21:07.humming in behind this weather front. Heading into Friday, the

:21:08. > :21:12.weather front still very much with us, some rain across southern

:21:13. > :21:16.Scotland, northern England, Wales and into the south-west, ahead of

:21:17. > :21:19.that, it's trite, sunny and warm, sparking showers some of which will

:21:20. > :21:25.be thundery especially in the south-east and East Anglia. Behind

:21:26. > :21:28.that, bright spells sunshine and highs of 18 degrees. Carol, thank

:21:29. > :21:33.you. It's a big week for the Breakfast

:21:34. > :21:36.election Butty Van as it continues to criss-cross the UK before next

:21:37. > :21:39.Thursday's general election. We had bacon sandwiches

:21:40. > :21:40.in Wales yesterday... Naga will be serving them

:21:41. > :21:43.up in Fife on Friday - but this morning Steph has sailed

:21:44. > :21:54.over to Northern Ireland... There she is an good morning. It

:21:55. > :21:58.looks gorgeous. It is absolutely gorgeous. Good morning everyone. I

:21:59. > :22:01.am in Portrush in Northern Ireland, you can see the beautiful harbour

:22:02. > :22:06.but look at this, I've met some of the craziest people ever, in the sea

:22:07. > :22:11.at this time of the morning and I can't even describe how cold it is.

:22:12. > :22:16.There we go, that is the local swimming club and apparently they do

:22:17. > :22:20.this regularly, they come down to this seaside resort and have a dip

:22:21. > :22:24.in the sea. You can see the beautiful beach as well and we are

:22:25. > :22:28.here talking about the election, finding out what people here want to

:22:29. > :22:33.hear from the politicians in the run-up and we have our very own

:22:34. > :22:36.Chris here as well. And we are going to meet some schoolkids in a bed and

:22:37. > :22:41.apparently they do that regularly as well. Good morning. Good morning, I

:22:42. > :22:46.have my bucket and spade to join this lot building sand castles. We

:22:47. > :22:48.are going to do some beach yoga, these children are from an

:22:49. > :22:52.integrated primary school, meaning they have pupils from both

:22:53. > :22:58.nationalist areas and unionist areas. It's got to be said, politics

:22:59. > :23:05.here still divided, elections coming up, except looming large. An issue

:23:06. > :23:08.for the entire economy. One of the big successes has been the film

:23:09. > :23:13.industry, lots of people filming here including the American series

:23:14. > :23:14.game of thrones and I've been trailing politicians as well as the

:23:15. > :23:17.tourists. You'll find dramatic beauty,

:23:18. > :23:19.all along the north coast And it's scenery that makes

:23:20. > :23:25.a spectacular setting. The series Game Of Thrones uses this

:23:26. > :23:29.area as a filming location and some see in its stories of scheming

:23:30. > :23:31.division and conflict, more than a few similarities

:23:32. > :23:37.with politics in Northern Ireland. Here, many vote, along what are

:23:38. > :23:42.sometimes called tribal lines. You were a unionist if you grew up

:23:43. > :23:45.in a unionist family and you were a Republican

:23:46. > :23:47.if you grew up in All you'll hear is,

:23:48. > :23:51."if you don't vote, some of those And that's coming from both

:23:52. > :23:54.sides of the community. Down through the ages of history

:23:55. > :24:01.and still fought in modern times. Game Of Thrones is a fantasy saga,

:24:02. > :24:04.which tells an epic tale set across continents of a fight

:24:05. > :24:10.for the Iron Throne. The often vicious and violent drama

:24:11. > :24:12.might be worlds away from where so much of it is filmed,

:24:13. > :24:15.but political battles are nothing For politics to work here,

:24:16. > :24:21.people have to share power It's why there's currently no

:24:22. > :24:30.government in Northern Ireland and why this election is proving

:24:31. > :24:33.to be a bitter fight Political deadlock is nothing

:24:34. > :24:40.new on this part of this island, but it is frustrating for those

:24:41. > :24:43.who want to show off what Northern Ireland has to offer,

:24:44. > :24:47.including business owners. They're being asked to vote again

:24:48. > :24:50.at a time when the lack of government at Stormont

:24:51. > :24:51.is preventing decisions I think they should do

:24:52. > :24:58.more for education. They should be doing

:24:59. > :25:00.more for the tourist industry and most of all,

:25:01. > :25:02.they should be trying Yet, years of political progress can

:25:03. > :25:10.be seen with every bus-load The international popularity

:25:11. > :25:15.of Game Of Thrones certainly helps attract them to the caves

:25:16. > :25:21.and castles used as backdrops. But during times when regular

:25:22. > :25:23.violence here was more than just fictional,

:25:24. > :25:26.many wouldn't have come. This is our 12th day now

:25:27. > :25:29.and we just love it, But believe it or not,

:25:30. > :25:34.there's no government No, but that doesn't

:25:35. > :25:40.really surprise me. However, politics is important

:25:41. > :25:45.with challenges like Brexit looming. This is the only part of the UK

:25:46. > :25:48.to share a land border And this Methodist minister,

:25:49. > :25:53.who was a key figure in Northern Ireland's peace process,

:25:54. > :25:58.says stability is needed. Conflict will divide people

:25:59. > :26:02.into camps and people then will go back to voting in their camps

:26:03. > :26:09.and in their tribal traditions. Come on, it's time we moved

:26:10. > :26:12.beyond that, the world has changed, Some feel the fighting

:26:13. > :26:17.between the politicians can be for show, simply because it's

:26:18. > :26:19.good for votes. But it also makes election time

:26:20. > :26:37.a particularly divisive time. Well we've come down to the beach

:26:38. > :26:40.because we had to meet Jim and his friends...

:26:41. > :26:44.CHEERING Do you genuinely do this every

:26:45. > :26:49.morning? There will be at least half a dozen others every morning. Why?

:26:50. > :27:00.It is good for you. It's beautiful as well. I just feel like I should

:27:01. > :27:05.hope you all! Hug a way! Seriously, thanks for coming down. Chris,

:27:06. > :27:11.should we join in? We need you in the water! It's lovely and warm out

:27:12. > :27:16.there, this is the North Coast, it's beautiful. It's beautiful but it's

:27:17. > :27:18.also freezing and it's my birthday today...

:27:19. > :27:24.CHEERING This would be like... Should we?

:27:25. > :27:28.Should we? That's a very dear juris thing to say to people from Portrush

:27:29. > :27:33.because they will throw you are the water as quick as anything! I am

:27:34. > :27:36.going to let you crack on, thank you somewhat for joining us, I can't

:27:37. > :31:00.believe that but what are we doing later on? It could all go wrong!

:31:01. > :31:19.Hello, this is Breakfast with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

:31:20. > :31:27.Let's bring you up today with the main stories. Rehearsals are

:31:28. > :31:31.underway for Ariana Grande's return to Manchester this Sunday. She will

:31:32. > :31:35.play a huge fundraiser to benefit victims and families of last week's

:31:36. > :31:41.bomb attack which killed 22 people in the city. Last night, Liam

:31:42. > :31:44.Gallagher told the crowd in the city that normal service has resumed. He

:31:45. > :31:48.made the comments during an emotional performance in his

:32:26. > :32:29.from 6.00pm until 9.00pm on Sunday evening.

:32:30. > :32:37.If you attended last week's concert you can go to this one for free if

:32:38. > :32:42.you register for a free ticket by 4pm today. For everyone else, you

:32:43. > :32:45.have to wait until tomorrow, tickets go on sale at ten o'clock tomorrow.

:32:46. > :32:50.We will be speaking to the organiser later.

:32:51. > :32:57.That must be quite a job. In other news this morning...

:33:38. > :33:44.The situation we are concerned about is one in which that coverage they

:33:45. > :33:47.have now is withdrawn. Even if they prefer to stay they may have no

:33:48. > :33:55.choice but to return to the cake because they could couldn't

:33:56. > :33:57.necessarily afford the health care. That is the situation we are most

:33:58. > :33:59.concerned about. The NHS and Brexit are also top

:34:00. > :34:02.of the agenda for the two main political parties

:34:03. > :34:04.as they continue their campaigns ahead of next

:37:04. > :37:06.see. Arsene Wenger said he was so affected over the criticism, why

:37:07. > :37:12.would he put himself through it again? He loves it! Maybe he is an

:38:38. > :38:40.that allowed me to get some good practice in after missing a couple

:40:07. > :40:09.for their tour which takes in 10 matches, three of them Tests

:40:10. > :40:11.over the next few weeks. The Lions were treated

:40:12. > :40:14.to a traditional Maori welcome when they touched down at Auckland

:40:15. > :40:16.airport in the last few hours, captain Sam Warburton

:40:17. > :40:19.was at the centre of the ceremony before the whole squad,

:40:20. > :40:59.led by hooker Ken Owens responded How about that. Quite a few Welsh

:41:00. > :41:05.lads in there. They have all had song sheets and

:41:06. > :41:10.they have had to learn the words to Calon Lan, the traditional hymn sung

:41:11. > :41:14.before all the Welsh Test matches. All in Welsh as well, but they know

:41:15. > :41:19.Scottish anthems, they know something from Ireland and they have

:41:20. > :41:23.an English one somewhere they can whip out. I can imagine them

:41:24. > :41:29.practising on the aeroplane over. It is all about the team building.

:41:30. > :41:34.Page two, everyone, page two. We've heard lots of policies

:41:35. > :41:36.from each of the political parties in the run up to the general

:41:37. > :41:39.election - but what about As part of a series aiming to get

:41:40. > :41:44.to know more about those wanting your vote, 'The One Show'

:41:45. > :41:47.is interviewing each There's just one rule -

:41:48. > :41:49.no policy talk. Last night it was the turn

:41:50. > :42:00.of Labour's Jeremy Corbyn. Does the prospect of Theresa May

:42:01. > :42:07.calling you up, conceding defeat and offering you the keys of Number Ten

:42:08. > :42:10.fill you with fear or unbridled joy? Hope, hope to what we can do and the

:42:11. > :42:17.way we can change things in this country. Some people have said you

:42:18. > :42:23.are more of an activist, what do you say to them? Is there a difference?

:42:24. > :42:26.I have been active in politics, human rights and all things. Did I

:42:27. > :42:32.ever set out in life to become Prime Minister? No, I set out to try and

:42:33. > :42:36.change things and bring about greater justice in our society. He

:42:37. > :42:48.went to a private prep school and grammar school. They said you left

:42:49. > :42:53.the two years in a level? I have got the certificates. I was not

:42:54. > :43:01.academically successful. Was that you kicking back against the system?

:43:02. > :43:06.My mum was a generous lady. I said, these are pretty poor, these

:43:07. > :43:13.results. She looked at me and she said, they probably couldn't read

:43:14. > :43:18.your writing. You have an allotment, why is that so important? There is

:43:19. > :43:25.something magical about growing your own beans, your own potatoes and

:43:26. > :43:29.taking it home and... Growth fruit trees and then turn the fruit trees

:43:30. > :43:34.into jam and I would like to present The one Show with a jar of my jam.

:43:35. > :43:37.Joining us now is Jermain Jackman, former winner of 'The Voice',

:43:38. > :43:44.And from our London newsroom, Anne McElvoy, senior editor

:43:45. > :43:55.Morning, both. I know you describe him as a friend, you have known him

:43:56. > :43:58.for many years, since you are 11. He watched him last night, do you think

:43:59. > :44:04.the audience will see things that perhaps they have never seen before?

:44:05. > :44:10.He is always himself, he came across as relaxed and his normal self, very

:44:11. > :44:15.funny, caring about his allotment and his history with Jamaica and the

:44:16. > :44:20.Caribbean. Just been told about how he was brought up. You get the sense

:44:21. > :44:26.that, just a normal guy, like everyone else, wasn't born with a

:44:27. > :44:30.silver spoon in his mouth, wasn't given a million-dollar loan to start

:44:31. > :44:35.a business, he is just a normal person. How do you think the

:44:36. > :44:39.allotments, the jam and the real Jeremy Corbyn, how did it go down

:44:40. > :44:43.for you and how will it sit with the voters? I thought it was a good

:44:44. > :44:49.performance, he did sound sympathetic. I thought the jam was a

:44:50. > :44:53.masterstroke. You heard it there, the idea there isn't a difference

:44:54. > :44:58.between an activist and being a Prime Minister is simply wrong. If

:44:59. > :45:03.you are looking for someone, someone who has quite far left politics but

:45:04. > :45:13.seems to be a nice bloke, you would be left justifiably, with that

:45:14. > :45:15.impression. There is a big gap between that and then saying you put

:45:16. > :45:18.your trust in Jeremy Corbyn to run the country. It was a soft

:45:19. > :45:23.interview, but he came in a bit of a cropper in a hard interview. A very

:45:24. > :45:28.nice and relaxed man sat on the sofa, what would he really be saying

:45:29. > :45:32.if he got the power is work voters would be focusing in the last week.

:45:33. > :45:36.You are faring too in an interview on woman's hour when he was asked

:45:37. > :45:41.about figures and he wasn't easily able to come up with that number. Do

:45:42. > :45:45.you think it has an impact? The problem with the Labour campaign.

:45:46. > :45:51.It's not to say the Tories haven't had a rough campaign as well, but

:45:52. > :45:56.Labour, the figures are hard to believe and they can't remember

:45:57. > :46:00.them. If they were difficult to accept, but you had people like

:46:01. > :46:04.Jeremy Corbyn, Diane Abbott going out every day making a strong case

:46:05. > :46:09.for why their figures added up at a time everyone knows, whatever their

:46:10. > :46:14.politics, everyone knows money is short and it has to be carefully

:46:15. > :46:18.accounted for. You might have had a bit more faith. But Jeremy Corbyn

:46:19. > :46:24.was struggling to remember that major pledge and the figures on it,

:46:25. > :46:29.was not a particularly good moment. I think the attempt was to upset him

:46:30. > :46:35.by coming across as someone who hasn't changed very much. Has kindly

:46:36. > :46:40.cited his nature, which I have also seen in person, debating with him.

:46:41. > :46:45.But the different question is, do you think Jeremy Corbyn is nicer,

:46:46. > :46:50.more comfortable by new thought he was? Yes. Do you think he is the

:46:51. > :46:55.right person to run the country, can he beat Theresa May combat?

:46:56. > :47:01.Different question altogether. That is an interesting side to the

:47:02. > :47:05.debate? I want all prime ministers to be activist, they need to have

:47:06. > :47:09.that in their body, to have the passion to want to change the world,

:47:10. > :47:13.be a leading force in the world. Jeremy Corbyn has been on the right

:47:14. > :47:18.side of politics, the right side of history. When everyone was calling

:47:19. > :47:24.Nelson Mandela Terrace, Jeremy Corbyn was outside the South African

:47:25. > :47:29.embassy campaigning apartheid. -- a terrorist. I am referring to the

:47:30. > :47:34.interview yesterday on woman's hour. I have so many songs on my album, I

:47:35. > :47:39.don't remember all the lyrics. It doesn't take away from the fact I

:47:40. > :47:45.had written a song and I care about the song. In various interviews, the

:47:46. > :47:50.same people on Prime Minister's Questions and talking policies, do

:47:51. > :47:54.you see the man you know? I see them man I know, the man that cares about

:47:55. > :48:02.the community, and wants to change the world and lead Britain into a

:48:03. > :48:05.fairer society. We're running out of time, but he chose not to go on The

:48:06. > :48:10.one Show with his wife, obviously Theresa May went on with her

:48:11. > :48:19.husband. Do you think it is a wise decision by him? I thing he did very

:48:20. > :48:23.credibly alone. I think if he really wants to be taken seriously as a

:48:24. > :48:28.future leader, people will say, who is it you spend most of your life

:48:29. > :48:34.with. So for the duration, you can't get away with keeping the spouse or

:48:35. > :48:38.partner at home. I think it is part of the job. But last night, I think

:48:39. > :48:44.he had a good enough performance and wasn't thinking, where is the other

:48:45. > :48:46.half. Thank you both very much. Would love to know what you think

:48:47. > :49:01.about that as well. You have not had my jam, have you?

:49:02. > :49:07.Raspberry jam. I need to have it delivered here. I will bring some

:49:08. > :49:09.next week. Carol, have you had some of Louise's raspberry jam? I

:49:10. > :49:21.haven't. It will be a sunny day and cloud

:49:22. > :49:25.around first thing. High pressure dominating the weather. We have this

:49:26. > :49:29.weather front coming southwards and that is what is producing cloud and

:49:30. > :49:34.the odd shower. But in the satellite picture where we have cloud across

:49:35. > :49:38.Northern Ireland and Scotland, Wales and southern England, sea fog and

:49:39. > :49:43.some in the West and parts of the South. At times it will penetrate

:49:44. > :49:54.inland but not terribly far, so that will be damp and it will be pressed

:49:55. > :49:57.the temperature, but for most it will be dry and the cloud we have in

:49:58. > :49:59.the South slowly breaking up which we are not immune to the showers.

:50:00. > :50:02.Northern England, Scotland will see most of the sunshine, and as we go

:50:03. > :50:06.through the day temperatures rising nicely. In Northern Ireland, it is

:50:07. > :50:11.the same. Looking up bright skies, some sunshine but we could see some

:50:12. > :50:13.sea fog onshore to the east of Northern Ireland, south-west

:50:14. > :50:18.Scotland, north-west England and western parts of Wales. Move inland

:50:19. > :50:23.and there are drier conditions with one or two showers across Wales. But

:50:24. > :50:28.they will be the exception, rather than the rule. Cloud will break up

:50:29. > :50:32.across southern counties. But showers through Gloucestershire, the

:50:33. > :50:37.Midlands, down towards Kent and to East Anglia we hang on to more cloud

:50:38. > :50:41.at times. Sea fog in the English Channel. That could move on to the

:50:42. > :50:48.coastline, but it is inland penetration would be very much.

:50:49. > :50:51.Overnight, more cloud across Scotland, northern England, North

:50:52. > :50:56.Wales and Northern Ireland than we had last night. Not as a chilly

:50:57. > :51:00.start tomorrow. Missed an fog in the south East. Then this weather front

:51:01. > :51:03.coming from the West. It will produce grain and as it moves south

:51:04. > :51:08.eastwards tomorrow, the heaviest rain will be in their heels. Lower

:51:09. > :51:12.levels it will be lighter and drizzle around. But the wind will

:51:13. > :51:17.strengthen and the cloud will build immediately ahead of it. For England

:51:18. > :51:20.and Wales, are drier day. We're not expecting showers tomorrow but there

:51:21. > :51:24.will be some sunshine, possibly up to 26 in the South East. Fresher

:51:25. > :51:43.conditions coming behind in the Northwest.

:51:44. > :51:47.Thanks, Carol. See you later. We have some chocolate spread knocking

:51:48. > :51:50.about. It's a busy week for our Butty Van,

:51:51. > :51:53.it was in Wales yesterday, it'll be in Scotland on Friday

:51:54. > :51:55.and this morning it's Steph's on the Northern Irish Coast

:51:56. > :51:59.to find out what people there want when it comes

:52:00. > :52:12.to supporting their local economy. The next generation. Good morning

:52:13. > :52:17.Steph. It is warming up here. I have taken

:52:18. > :52:29.my big coat. Look who I have got with me. Morning. I am loving how

:52:30. > :52:34.keen they are. What are you doing on the beach? We are making maps and I

:52:35. > :52:41.am making a map for all my friends to find my pen. A treasure map,

:52:42. > :52:47.brilliant. You come all the time down here for lessons? We usually go

:52:48. > :52:54.to the library to encourage our reading and we are allowed to bring

:52:55. > :52:59.books home. And we go down to the beach to litter pick, rock pooling

:53:00. > :53:07.and it is just a really good outdoor classroom and we love it. I want to

:53:08. > :53:13.join your school. Mason, you go surfing? At some others go surfing

:53:14. > :53:18.in the sea and we get taught to do surfing and somebody runs it. I want

:53:19. > :53:25.to join your school, do you think I can join your class, John? In my

:53:26. > :53:30.class we do mindfulness and last year my mum did yoga. You have got

:53:31. > :53:35.it all going on. I will leave you to it and will join you later on. See

:53:36. > :53:40.you later. Brilliant, I love them. It is

:53:41. > :53:45.gorgeous here in Portrush. It has about 7000 people living here and

:53:46. > :53:50.that is one of the primary schools. They are following me. We have got

:53:51. > :53:56.some young reporters on the go. We are talking about the election and

:53:57. > :53:59.finding out what is the thoughts of businesspeople and locals in the

:54:00. > :54:03.area in terms of what they want to hear from the politicians in the

:54:04. > :54:10.run-up to the election. We have some guests which we will pick up on the

:54:11. > :54:14.way. Neal is an economist. Give us the contest cost of Northern Ireland

:54:15. > :54:18.compared to the UK? It is a fantastic region, great quality of

:54:19. > :54:25.life, strong economic performance in a number of clusters as in agri-

:54:26. > :54:30.food, engineering, TV. But structural weaknesses have held it

:54:31. > :54:34.back. Its economic performance would be similar to the Welsh and the

:54:35. > :54:40.north-east of England economy. What would make a difference? Certainly

:54:41. > :54:44.the Brexit issues, but we need an ability to grow more businesses. The

:54:45. > :54:48.private sector is strong but too small. We need a good private sector

:54:49. > :54:56.to fund the public services we require. Picking up Joanne hear,

:54:57. > :55:01.feel like I am forming a group. Joanne, your business is about

:55:02. > :55:05.skills? Yes, we focus on the knowledge economy and the growth of

:55:06. > :55:11.that, innovation, research and skills are important. Especially

:55:12. > :55:15.with new technology, very disruptive technologies are coming along. You

:55:16. > :55:19.need new skills. Northern Ireland is the second fastest growing region in

:55:20. > :55:23.the UK so we need the right investment and world-class skills to

:55:24. > :55:29.ensure it continues. We have reached the butty van. Thanks, guys. Tell me

:55:30. > :55:33.about your business and what would make a difference in terms of what

:55:34. > :55:39.you want to hear from the politicians. Armstrong medical is an

:55:40. > :55:44.internationally focused company and free trade conditions are important.

:55:45. > :55:48.It is a lot about exports and things, what would make a

:55:49. > :55:55.difference, are you worried about Brexit? We export to 61 markets

:55:56. > :55:59.around the world. We go to Honduras, Costa Rica, Middle East and

:56:00. > :56:04.Asia-Pacific. The ability to trade freely and not deal with the border

:56:05. > :56:10.issues that may be a result of Brexit, hugely important. We will be

:56:11. > :56:16.talking to you later on. Back to the beach. What is going on here. What

:56:17. > :56:22.is happening now? I am not going into the sea. OK, maybe me in the

:56:23. > :56:27.sea later on. Only if you give me a surfing lesson later on. See you

:56:28. > :56:31.later. I am so looking forward to seeing

:56:32. > :56:35.you go into the sea, Steph. You will love it. Get your wet suit

:56:36. > :56:42.on. Happy birthday. Imagine!

:56:43. > :00:07.It is going to happen whether she likes it or not.

:00:08. > :00:09.Hello this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

:00:10. > :00:15.Rehearsals begin for Ariana Grande's benefit concert for the victims

:00:16. > :00:18.of the terror attack following her performance last week.

:00:19. > :00:22.Some of the biggest names in pop will join the singer on the stage

:00:23. > :00:24.in the city on Sunday night - with more acts expected

:00:25. > :00:36.Last night Liam Gallagher played an emotional gig in Manchester,

:00:37. > :00:54.telling fans "normal service has resumed".

:00:55. > :00:59.Good morning, it's Wednesday 31st May.

:01:00. > :01:09.More than 50 people are killed and more than 300 injured

:01:10. > :01:12.as a massive car bomb explodes in the Afghan capital, Kabul.

:01:13. > :01:15.A warning of extra costs for the NHS if British pensioners living

:01:16. > :01:25.in other EU countries have to return home for health care after Brexit.

:01:26. > :01:27.Good morning - we've brought the Breakfast Butty Van over

:03:32. > :03:53.was the singing between the songs, the audience spontaneously

:04:41. > :04:53.what Manchester needed. An Oasis reunion was always highly

:04:57. > :04:59.for the fundraising show this Sunday, could he be a surprise

:06:10. > :06:16.concert. We'll be hearing from him in the next few minutes. It's an

:06:17. > :06:17.incredible job to put it all together in such a short space of

:06:18. > :06:20.time. The NHS could have to raise an extra

:06:21. > :06:23.half-a-billion pounds a year, if British pensioners living

:06:24. > :06:25.in other EU countries have to return That's the warning from a health

:06:26. > :06:29.charity this morning. The Nuffield Trust says the cost

:06:30. > :06:32.of treating them on home soil rather than abroad could be almost

:06:33. > :06:34.a billion pounds, as For many British pensioners it's

:07:07. > :07:16.from countries whhere they live in the EU to here,

:07:17. > :07:19.retired people, could cost the NHS more money and beyond that we'd

:07:20. > :07:22.probably need more hospital beds and nurses to give those people

:07:23. > :07:25.standards of care they require. Unless a deal is struck

:07:26. > :07:27.the Trust says pensioners would lose their free health care

:07:28. > :07:30.and if they returned to Britain for treatment it could cost

:07:31. > :07:34.the NHS ?1 billion a year. Last year spending on the NHS

:07:35. > :07:43.in England was around 102 billion. The Nuffield Trust estimates

:07:44. > :07:45.that the NHS would need around 1600 more doctors,

:07:46. > :07:47.nurses and other workers In response, the Conservative Party

:07:48. > :07:51.says protecting the rights of UK nationals in the EU is one

:07:52. > :07:53.of their priorities But the Liberal Democrats said this

:07:54. > :08:02.report is evidence that Theresa May's extreme version

:08:03. > :08:04.of Brexit would be a disaster for the NHS putting huge

:08:05. > :08:14.pressure on hospitals. Labour are yet to comment, but have

:08:15. > :08:16.previously accused the Conservatives The NHS and Brexit are also top

:08:17. > :08:23.of the agenda for the two main political parties

:08:24. > :08:24.as they continue their campaigns ahead of next

:08:25. > :08:27.week's general election. Labour will focus on schools

:08:28. > :08:29.and hospitals, claiming the Conservatives have

:08:30. > :08:31.neglected public services. But the Tories say a Labour

:10:15. > :10:17.positive, but it also lays them open for the kind of dangers we've seen

:10:59. > :11:03.the scheme will fill some of the 600 detective vacancies in the force,

:11:58. > :12:08.benefit concert following last week's terrorist attack. Our

:12:09. > :12:12.reporter joins us from Old Trafford Cricket ground. 14-year-old Harrison

:12:13. > :12:19.was at the gig last week and is planning to go to Sunday's benefit

:12:20. > :12:24.concert. I know your diet is here and you specifically want to talk to

:12:25. > :12:29.us about it -- your dad is here. You were there when the first concert

:12:30. > :12:36.happened. Tell us a bit about your experience. When the bomb went off,

:12:37. > :12:40.I was still sitting in my seat with my friends because the concert had

:12:41. > :12:54.just finished. Obviously, everyone ran. So the last week has been hard,

:12:55. > :13:01.but it's been so much love shown from everyone worldwide. It's really

:13:02. > :13:06.been a special week. Has that helps? Definitely. There's an outpouring of

:13:07. > :13:12.love from everybody. For example I went to the same Square on the other

:13:13. > :13:16.day and when you see all the flowers and the kindness everyone is

:13:17. > :13:23.showing, it's overwhelming. That's the feeling that is sticking with

:13:24. > :13:27.me. Some people have said it is quite close, maybe even too near.

:13:28. > :13:31.But you feel really confident that you're making the right decision to

:13:32. > :13:36.go to this concert on Sunday, why is that important to you? I think it's

:13:37. > :13:40.a really important concert because it's an act of solidarity. I know

:13:41. > :13:47.how hard it's been for me the last week and I was far from the worst

:13:48. > :13:50.affected. I came out uninjured, all my friends came out fine. It's

:13:51. > :13:56.really important for all those people who weren't as lucky as me.

:13:57. > :14:00.Hopefully it will help everyone, especially those people. Let's talk

:14:01. > :14:05.about the concert because we've got the man in charge with us. I imagine

:14:06. > :14:09.you are one of the most busy people at the moment. Give us an idea of

:14:10. > :14:18.the scale of what you were trying to do and who is coming to the concept.

:14:19. > :14:24.It is a phenomenal task in trying to put it together between... We

:14:25. > :14:29.started the conversation on Friday evening and would have had about

:14:30. > :14:35.eight days to put it together. Ariana Grande very bravely, I think,

:14:36. > :14:44.has decided to stand up and be counted. So I think this phenomenal

:14:45. > :14:48.amount of commitment there, huge task of bringing all the artists

:14:49. > :14:55.together but also bringing all the public service people together.

:14:56. > :15:00.Bringing the services together, everybody is making the effort to

:15:01. > :15:09.ensure we have a phenomenal coming together, and also a safe coming

:15:10. > :15:12.together. That was my question about security. Always an issue at a big

:15:13. > :15:21.event but more so bearing in mind what happened last week. It is. We

:15:22. > :15:24.could not do this without the absolute support of the Chief

:15:25. > :15:31.Constable of Greater Manchester Police and all of his staff. They

:15:32. > :15:35.really are incredibly committed to making this an incredibly safe

:15:36. > :15:40.event. We are doubling the security ordinarily would be employed at a

:15:41. > :15:44.concert of this sort. We are working with family liaison officers in

:15:45. > :15:50.terms of families significantly affected. It is an incredibly

:15:51. > :16:03.coordinated plan. We are asking people not to come with bags to make

:16:04. > :16:09.the searching easier. It has been gone through at the highest level. I

:16:10. > :16:13.want to give people reassurance nothing is left to chance.

:16:14. > :16:19.Absolutely nothing is left to chance in terms of security. What are your

:16:20. > :16:27.plans? We can see things happening right now. I'm sorry, could you

:16:28. > :16:37.repeat that? I can see and hear things happening. Tell us what will

:16:38. > :16:44.be happening. Essentially, you can see ground staff are busy, trying to

:16:45. > :16:47.keep the ground for what is cricket in a couple of weeks as well as the

:16:48. > :16:56.concert. The pitch will be covered with matting to protect the grass.

:16:57. > :17:00.We will do that late Saturday. The stage is already built and the sound

:17:01. > :17:07.and light are not in yet but are coming on Friday. The activities are

:17:08. > :17:11.beginning and these staff are putting some of the matting down

:17:12. > :17:17.immediately in front of the stage. The dressing rooms, the cricketers'

:17:18. > :17:25.dressing rooms, changing rooms, will be dressing rooms for Ariana, Justin

:17:26. > :17:29.Bieber. The place that Michael Vaughan might have been cleaning his

:17:30. > :17:35.boots in the past, his cricket shoes, that is where Ariana Grande

:17:36. > :17:41.will be. It is adapting a space incredibly well. Good luck. Thank

:17:42. > :17:45.you. You have an insight into what is

:17:46. > :17:49.happening on Sunday and you had tickets to see Ariana Grande, who

:17:50. > :17:54.else are you looking forward to seeing? Definitely Katy Perry and

:17:55. > :18:01.Coldplay and Justin Bieber and everyone, basically. It should be a

:18:02. > :18:05.nice night. Thank you for coming in and speaking so eloquently about

:18:06. > :18:12.what happened last week and why you are going to this concert on Sunday.

:18:13. > :18:18.We know the tickets go on sale for other people not at the concert at

:18:19. > :18:21.10am tomorrow. And if you were at the concert last week and want to

:18:22. > :18:25.go, you have to register on the One Love Manchester website before 4pm.

:18:26. > :18:35.Shall we catch up with the weather? If you have an analogy to grass

:18:36. > :18:42.pollen, pollen levels are high across most of England, the

:18:43. > :18:46.exception being the south-west, and also moderate in Northern Ireland

:18:47. > :18:50.and no in Scotland. Mostly dry with sunny spells today with

:18:51. > :18:55.high-pressure in charge, keeping things settled. But we have a

:18:56. > :19:02.weather front. It is moving away but it is producing cloud. Some of that

:19:03. > :19:08.will produce showers. We have sea fog through the English Channel.

:19:09. > :19:11.Some will make progress inland. Medium to high level cloud across

:19:12. > :19:17.Scotland and Northern Ireland will break and we will see sunny spells.

:19:18. > :19:23.Even the cloud in the South will thin and we will see brighter

:19:24. > :19:27.spells. But some showers. Close to the coast of the north-west of

:19:28. > :19:33.England and south-west Scotland we could see sea fog but inland, dry

:19:34. > :19:37.and sunny weather. Temperatures responding nicely across Scotland.

:19:38. > :19:47.In Northern Ireland, bright, sunny spells. The far east coast might see

:19:48. > :19:53.some of that sea fog. In Wales you might see it, and it will be damp if

:19:54. > :19:57.you do but inland, dry with showers. Showers being the exception. The

:19:58. > :20:02.south-west of England, a lot of dry weather. Brightening up in southern

:20:03. > :20:08.counties. Through the Midlands, Gloucestershire, heading to Kent, we

:20:09. > :20:12.are not immune to a shower. And a big area of sea fog in the

:20:13. > :20:17.south-east, some of it coming to the shoreline but inland, its

:20:18. > :20:23.penetration will not be great. Overnight more cloud forming across

:20:24. > :20:29.Scotland, northern England, parts of Wales and Northern Ireland. Not as

:20:30. > :20:32.cold as a result. Some of the sea fog drifting inland and a weather

:20:33. > :20:38.front is waiting in the wings, which will produce rain. Tomorrow the

:20:39. > :20:44.weather front moves south-east slowly. The heaviest rain will be at

:20:45. > :20:52.height. At low levels, it will be more like drizzle in nature. For

:20:53. > :21:00.most of England and Wales it will be dry and bright. In any sunshine,

:21:01. > :21:05.amateurs getting up to 25, maybe 26. Fresh conditions coming in behind

:21:06. > :21:11.the band of rain. It is across southern Scotland and northern

:21:12. > :21:14.England, through Wales and into the south-west and then moves

:21:15. > :21:21.south-east. Ahead of it, sunshine. We could see thunderstorms developed

:21:22. > :21:30.across East Anglia and the south-east. Behind it, sunshine and

:21:31. > :21:34.showers. On Saturday, Sunday, a mixture of sunshine and showers.

:21:35. > :21:37.Thanks. It's an unprecedented move

:21:38. > :21:40.for a British police force - recruiting people to become

:21:41. > :21:43.detectives straightaway without them having to serve

:21:44. > :21:46.as a bobby on the beat first. The Metropolitan Police hopes

:21:47. > :21:49.to fill some 600 vacancies and attract people with different

:21:50. > :21:51.skills and backgrounds. Detective Chief Superintendent

:21:52. > :22:10.Stephen Clayman is from the force. Good morning. How exactly will this

:22:11. > :22:15.work? For the first time we are going to allow people to apply

:22:16. > :22:20.directly to join as a trainee detective constable. There is a

:22:21. > :22:25.tough assessment and selection process but if successful, they will

:22:26. > :22:29.be on course to do focused training on being an investigator, a two-year

:22:30. > :22:35.programme of training and at the end of the two years to become a

:22:36. > :22:41.substantive detective constable. One criticism is that it is policing on

:22:42. > :22:46.the cheap. Not at all. It is offering a dedicated career pathway

:22:47. > :22:49.to those attracted by an investigative career. We did work

:22:50. > :22:55.last year looking at what Londoners would be interested in joining the

:22:56. > :22:59.police service in this way and we found people who would not have

:23:00. > :23:06.considered policing would now consider joining and coming into

:23:07. > :23:09.policing, which is a good thing, particularly in underrepresented

:23:10. > :23:12.communities, females, offering a dedicated career path is a natural

:23:13. > :23:18.thing to do provided training and development is good, which it will

:23:19. > :23:24.be. Have you picked up comments from those who are detectives and

:23:25. > :23:27.officers who think they might have to babysit these people and so busy

:23:28. > :23:30.with their normal job they will not have time to look after

:23:31. > :23:36.inexperienced officersit is a good point. A lot of comment. It tends to

:23:37. > :23:41.polarise views but one thing we have done is listen to concerns of

:23:42. > :23:45.Detective sergeants who want to develop training detective

:23:46. > :23:51.constables. We are recruiting coaches, ex-detectives, returning to

:23:52. > :23:57.support and develop these trainee detectives. And all trainee

:23:58. > :24:05.detectives inside the Met. This is really good news. Reading around

:24:06. > :24:10.this subject, are you taking away from the job a little bit? Saying if

:24:11. > :24:14.you have an inquisitive nature, have a degree, you will automatically be

:24:15. > :24:20.a good detective Tom does that removes some of the skills and care,

:24:21. > :24:25.that natural ability needed by some people who may not have a degree

:24:26. > :24:30.that would make a great detective? The existing pathway to become a

:24:31. > :24:35.detective from police constable will remain. That option will carry on.

:24:36. > :24:41.We are making it degree entry because that is where policing will

:24:42. > :24:47.be next year anyway. This is a narrow opportunity, we are looking

:24:48. > :24:52.for up to 160 next year, a small number compared to overall capacity.

:24:53. > :24:57.We want people to quickly understand the role. It is challenging so

:24:58. > :25:04.having it at that level with the skills and assessment will put them

:25:05. > :25:08.through. Policing is open to everyone but in this process it is

:25:09. > :25:11.degree entry because we are putting them through a rigorous process. We

:25:12. > :25:18.will get the skills through the assessment process we need. Thanks.

:25:19. > :25:23.We will be getting more information on that a little later. Let us know

:25:24. > :25:28.what you think about that. More on the breaking news. A powerful car

:25:29. > :25:35.bomb has exploded in the German Embassy in Kabul. Official saying at

:25:36. > :25:41.least 80 people killed in the explosion. Hundreds more are

:25:42. > :25:51.injured. We can speak to Kabul now. What do you know of what happened?

:25:52. > :25:57.It was utterly disgusting to see a four-year-old, five-year-old boy

:25:58. > :26:02.bleeding in the head. Amazingly calm in his brother's arms, walking out

:26:03. > :26:09.of hospital. I saw a woman screaming, abusing the government.

:26:10. > :26:17.And those behind the attack. It was in general chaotic in Kabul this

:26:18. > :26:21.morning and it still is. We do not know who it is exactly who was

:26:22. > :26:29.behind this, who carried out this massive, powerful car bomb attack in

:26:30. > :26:35.walking distance to the presidential palace killing at least 80 people

:26:36. > :26:40.and injuring up to 400. Thank you very much. We understand that is the

:26:41. > :26:47.latest, 80 people killed. Details coming in all the time.

:26:48. > :26:52.Some disturbing detail coming from our report in Kabul. We will bring

:26:53. > :26:55.you more later in the programme. Right now, we can catch up with the

:26:56. > :30:21.news where you are. Hello, this is Breakfast

:30:22. > :30:38.with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. Breaking news from Afghanistan this

:30:39. > :30:40.morning. Afghan police say a powerful

:30:41. > :30:43.car bomb has exploded near the German embassy in Kabul

:30:44. > :30:45.during the city's rush hour. Officials say at least

:30:46. > :30:47.80 people were killed in the explosion and more than 300

:30:48. > :30:57.people were wounded. It is thought to be the biggest

:30:58. > :31:01.attack in Afghanistan in several months and it is still unclear who

:31:02. > :31:07.carried out the bombing. The huge expression happened during morning

:31:08. > :31:10.rush hour. We understand it has damaged the French embassy. There

:31:11. > :31:14.was a lot of description coming out at the moment. Clouds of smoke have

:31:15. > :31:21.been seen spiralling of Kabul. Houses hundreds of metres away from

:31:22. > :31:25.the blast were affected, with windows shattered and doors blown

:31:26. > :31:26.off their hinges. But the Taliban and Islamic State have been behind

:31:27. > :31:43.recent attacks. The bomb went off in the morning.

:31:44. > :31:50.Ambulances are carrying the wounded away from the scene. The site has

:31:51. > :31:55.been cordoned off. Various eyewitness accounts are coming in.

:31:56. > :31:58.We were speaking to our report on the ground a few moments ago, and he

:31:59. > :32:04.was talking about some of the victims. Hundreds have been injured.

:32:05. > :32:10.We understand 80 have been killed and 320 injured. BBC News will keep

:32:11. > :32:22.you up-to-date with more details throughout the day. Thousands of

:32:23. > :32:28.pensioners may return to the UK to use the NHS after Brexit unless a

:32:29. > :32:29.deal can be done to let them keep receiving care abroad.

:32:30. > :32:32.The Nuffield Trust estimates that the cost of treating them on home

:32:33. > :32:34.soil rather than abroad could double to ?1 billion.

:32:35. > :32:37.At the moment, the UK gives around 500 million a year to EU

:32:38. > :32:41.countries that care for Brits who have retired overseas.

:32:42. > :32:44.The NHS and Brexit are also top of the agenda for the two

:32:45. > :32:46.main political parties as they continue their

:32:47. > :32:48.campaigns ahead of next week's general election.

:32:49. > :32:49.Labour will focus on schools and hospitals,

:32:50. > :32:57.claiming the Conservatives have neglected public services.

:32:58. > :32:59.But the Tories say a Labour government would threaten

:33:00. > :33:02.the economy by negotiating a bad deal when leaving the EU.

:33:03. > :33:09.Let's get more from our political correspondent, Chris Mason.

:33:10. > :33:18.So just over a week to go. What are the key messages today? It is all

:33:19. > :33:21.about key messages now. This isn't about sparking new policies we have

:33:22. > :33:27.not heard about before. Instead, it is the party is playing their

:33:28. > :33:30.favourite songs, what they see as their greatest hits, what they hope

:33:31. > :33:35.can woo voters in their direction in the last week of campaigning. Labour

:33:36. > :33:38.are talking about investment in core public services like schools and

:33:39. > :33:41.hospitals and their belief that another five years of the

:33:42. > :33:49.Conservatives would be bad for those services. Labour are proud of their

:33:50. > :33:53.manifesto. They talked repeatedly about how it is fully costed.

:33:54. > :33:57.Yesterday, Jeremy Corbyn got himself in a swimming pool's worth of pickle

:33:58. > :34:01.when he was asked on Woman's Hour on radio for about a particular figure,

:34:02. > :34:06.how much a policy he was talking about what cost. And he didn't have

:34:07. > :34:09.the faintest idea. Labour said the reason for that is because there are

:34:10. > :34:13.so many numbers in this document because they have done their sums.

:34:14. > :34:17.As for the Conservatives in terms of their greatest hits, they want to

:34:18. > :34:20.talk about Brexit. This was what Theresa May said was the

:34:21. > :34:24.justification for this election, after all, when she called it back

:34:25. > :34:29.in April. The striking thing is that when you look at this, the

:34:30. > :34:33.Conservative manifesto, there is plenty in there, but not a lot about

:34:34. > :34:40.Brexit. That is the topic that will dominate politics after the

:34:41. > :34:41.election, whoever wins. And we will talk to you about it before then,

:34:42. > :34:45.after them, all the time. Rehearsals are under way

:34:46. > :34:47.for Ariana Grande's return The American star will play a huge

:34:48. > :34:51.fundraiser to benefit victims and families of last week's bomb

:34:52. > :34:53.attack, which killed Last night, in a show of defiance,

:34:54. > :34:57.Liam Gallagher told a crowd in the city that "normal

:34:58. > :34:59.service has resumed". He made the comments

:35:00. > :35:01.during an emotional performance in his hometown, where the crowd

:35:02. > :35:24.paid tribute to those killed. The singer donated all the proceeds

:35:25. > :35:32.of last night's concert to victims and families. A few moments ago, the

:35:33. > :35:35.organiser of the tribute concert told us that discussion only began

:35:36. > :35:39.on Friday and that security will be double the usual levels. We couldn't

:35:40. > :35:42.do this without the absolute support of the Chief Constable of Greater

:35:43. > :35:49.Manchester Police and all of his staff. And they really are

:35:50. > :35:53.incredibly committed to making this a safe event. We are doubling the

:35:54. > :35:58.amount of security that would ordinarily be employed at a concert

:35:59. > :36:01.of this sort. We are working with the family liaison officers in terms

:36:02. > :36:08.of the families that have been most significantly affected. It is an

:36:09. > :36:13.incredibly coordinated plan. We are asking people not to come with bags,

:36:14. > :36:23.so that makes the security searching easier. Every detail is being gone

:36:24. > :36:26.through at the highest level. I want to give people some degree of

:36:27. > :36:29.reassurance that nothing is being left to chance. Not even a blade of

:36:30. > :36:33.grass, he told us. Some more details about the concert

:36:34. > :36:37.that we have so far. The confirmed line-up

:36:38. > :36:39.is the Black Eyed Peas, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber,

:36:40. > :36:40.Coldplay, Take That at the Emirates Old Trafford Cricket

:36:41. > :36:55.ground this Sunday, June 4th. We were talking to Harrison, a

:36:56. > :36:57.14-year-old who was at last week's concert. He has done this.

:36:58. > :37:00.If you attended last week's concert, you can register for a free

:37:01. > :37:03.ticket by 4 o'clock today, at the One Love Manchester website.

:37:04. > :37:07.For everyone else that wants to buy one, they go on sale tomorrow at 10

:37:08. > :37:19.Police say a "dangerous" prisoner, believed to be armed with a razor

:37:20. > :37:22.blade, is on the run after escaping officers in Wiltshire.

:37:23. > :37:24.Michel Kisier, who's 30, had been taken to hospital

:37:25. > :37:26.in Salisbury with a head injury before fleeing

:37:27. > :37:33.Police are warning the public not to approach him.

:37:34. > :37:36.A man has been arrested after the bodies of a woman and two

:37:37. > :37:39.children were discovered in a flat in the Toxteth area of Liverpool.

:37:40. > :37:42.Let's join our reporter Frankie McCamley,

:37:43. > :37:44.who is at the scene for us this morning.

:37:45. > :37:53.Frankie, what's the latest you can tell us?

:37:54. > :38:00.We believe emergency services were called to this street at around 7.30

:38:01. > :38:04.left back to reports of a gas leak. When they got here, they evacuated

:38:05. > :38:07.the whole street and asked people to leave their homes. Then people on

:38:08. > :38:12.nearby streets were told to stay indoors. When they arrived at one of

:38:13. > :38:15.the flats behind me, they found a woman and two children dead. They

:38:16. > :38:22.arrested a 30-year-old man on suspicion of murder. Soon after

:38:23. > :38:28.that, he was taken to hospital. I have spoken to local people who say

:38:29. > :38:31.this is a quiet street. They are alarmed to hear this. One woman said

:38:32. > :38:36.she heard screams yesterday evening. Police have said they are not

:38:37. > :38:37.looking for anybody else in relation to this incident and believe it is

:38:38. > :38:41.domestic related. CCTV cameras have captured

:38:42. > :38:44.the moment an underground water pipe exploded in the Ukrainian

:38:45. > :38:52.capital of Kiev. The eruption sent dirt

:38:53. > :38:58.and rocks flying, and a torrent of muddy water

:38:59. > :39:02.down the street. Cars were damaged and

:39:03. > :39:03.windows broken, but no It's not clear what caused

:39:04. > :39:22.the pipe to explode. Can we see it again? Normal road.

:39:23. > :39:29.Look at that. Just cars and windows damaged. Thankfully, nobody was

:39:30. > :39:34.hurt. There was somebody walking close to it as well. No one has been

:39:35. > :39:38.injured. Then this guy thinks out and, wow! What happened to my

:39:39. > :39:40.street? And coming up here

:39:41. > :39:44.on Breakfast this morning... The Breakfast Election Butty Van

:39:45. > :39:47.is on the road again. This time, Steph's

:39:48. > :39:51.in Northern Ireland, looking at the impact Brexit

:39:52. > :39:53.could have on voters. She's a double Olympic gold-winning

:39:54. > :39:55.cyclist - now Joanna Rowsell Shand wants

:39:56. > :39:57.to encourage people to get on their bikes

:39:58. > :40:00.and ride in city centres. She'll be right here

:40:01. > :40:10.on the sofa to explain why. Just eating dinner. You have your

:40:11. > :40:14.dinner, I will call back. They made their names

:40:15. > :40:16.in the X-rated teen comedy The Inbetweeners -

:40:17. > :40:18.now Joe Thomas and James Buckley have been reunited in the unlikely

:40:19. > :40:20.setting of They'll tell us about their

:40:21. > :40:38.new sitcom, White Gold. And Steph is going in the sea at

:40:39. > :40:48.Portrush. She promised. Hold on, news coming in. Steph is already in

:40:49. > :40:56.a wet suit! She is going to love it. She is more keen than she makes out.

:40:57. > :41:03.News just on Arsene Wenger is that he has signed that two-year deal to

:41:04. > :41:13.stick around at Arsenal. Has he always looked that perturbed? I

:41:14. > :41:15.would say that is determined. Either way, some people say, why has he

:41:16. > :41:20.decided to stick around after the treatment he has had from a

:41:21. > :41:24.contingent of Arsenal fans? Others say it is brilliant and that he can

:41:25. > :41:25.go on and win more league and cup titles over the next couple of years

:41:26. > :41:31.and maybe even beyond. There'll be an official

:41:32. > :41:32.announcement later today. The decision was made

:41:33. > :41:35.after a meeting with club owner Wenger lifted the FA Cup

:41:36. > :41:38.for a record seventh time after beating Chelsea at the weekend

:41:39. > :41:41.and while Arsenal finished outside the top four

:41:42. > :41:43.for the first time in 20 years, Wenger and those in charge at

:41:44. > :41:55.Arsenal have agreed he'll stay on. There will be an element who will be

:41:56. > :41:59.so angry. You know, they are already showing their feelings. And then

:42:00. > :42:03.there will be as many if not more who will say, you know what? You

:42:04. > :42:06.won't get a better manager than Arsene Wenger. There isn't a better

:42:07. > :42:11.one than him around at the moment that is available.

:42:12. > :42:13.There was a promotion party in Huddersfield yesterday

:42:14. > :42:15.as they paraded the Championship play-off trophy through the town.

:42:16. > :42:17.Thousands of fans gathered to celebrate reaching

:42:18. > :42:19.the Premier League for the first time.

:42:20. > :42:21.They beat Reading on penalties at Wembley to secure promotion

:42:22. > :42:26.to the top flight for the first time in 45 years.

:42:27. > :42:29.World number one Andy Murray is through to the second

:42:30. > :42:31.round of the French Open after beating Russia's Andrey

:42:32. > :42:36.Murray had struggled for form and fitness in the build up

:42:37. > :42:38.to Roland Garros, but managed to overcome the first-round test

:42:39. > :42:42.Next up for Murray is Slovakia's Martin Klizan,

:42:43. > :42:49.But there was a shock for Johanna Konta -

:42:50. > :42:52.the British number one lost to world number 109 Hsieh Su-Weh

:42:53. > :42:56.The seventh seed took the first set 6-1, but the tide turned

:42:57. > :43:00.Defeat yesterday means Konta still has never won a match

:43:01. > :43:11.Golf legend Jack Nicklaus says that everyone involved in the game needs

:43:12. > :43:15.to help Tiger Woods, who was arrested on a

:43:16. > :43:17.charge of driving under the influence on Monday.

:43:18. > :43:19.According to a police report, Woods, winner of 14 majors,

:43:20. > :43:22.was asleep at the wheel of his Mercedes on a Florida road

:43:23. > :43:26.Woods has said it was due to a reaction to prescription drugs.

:43:27. > :43:29.The former world number one has only played sporadically due to injury

:43:30. > :43:45.I feel bad for tiger. Tiger is a friend. He has been great for the

:43:46. > :43:51.game of golf. He needs all our help and we wish him well. He is

:43:52. > :43:57.struggling. I wish him well. I hope he plays golf again. He need support

:43:58. > :44:02.from a lot of people, and I will be one of them. We have been enjoying

:44:03. > :44:04.the singing, haven't we? And finally - the British

:44:05. > :44:07.and Irish Lions squad have arrived in New Zealand this morning

:44:08. > :44:10.for their tour, which takes in 10 matches, three of them Tests

:44:11. > :44:12.over the next few weeks. The Lions

:44:13. > :44:14.were treated to a traditional Maori welcome when they touched down

:44:15. > :44:17.at Auckland Airport in the last few led by hooker Ken Owens, responded

:44:18. > :44:54.with the Welsh hymn Calon Lan. They are not exactly a male choir.

:44:55. > :44:58.There were not bad. Did they all have some sheets? They have. As part

:44:59. > :45:03.of their team bonding, they have been given song sheets for Welsh,

:45:04. > :45:07.Irish, Scottish and English hymns. So over the course of the tour, we

:45:08. > :45:13.will hear them singing other songs. They have been practising. That is

:45:14. > :45:18.wonderful. The Welsh guys obviously knew that one. It is sung at all the

:45:19. > :45:20.Welsh tests. But for the English, Irish and Scots to learn all of

:45:21. > :45:28.those Welsh lyrics is impressive. She was part of the Olympic

:45:29. > :45:34.velodrome dream team, winning gold in London 2012

:45:35. > :45:36.and again at Rio in 2016. Now aged 28, cyclist

:45:37. > :45:42.Joanna Rowsell-Shand has retired from the sport

:45:43. > :45:44.and is looking forward She's just been offered a place

:45:45. > :45:48.to study physiology at university. But that doesn't mean she's given up

:45:49. > :45:50.the bike altogether. Joanna is supporting

:45:51. > :45:51.a campaign to encourage We'll chat to her in a moment,

:45:52. > :46:13.but first, let's take a look They are coming up to the line! The

:46:14. > :46:17.final 250 metres, rate Britain are the world champions, and they will

:46:18. > :46:25.become the Olympic champions. They are on fire. Great Britain win the

:46:26. > :46:32.Olympic title. They are the Olympic champions.

:46:33. > :46:40.With two laps to go, Great Britain heading for the gold medal, 2.7

:46:41. > :46:44.seconds is the advantage. The final lap of the Olympic final and it is

:46:45. > :46:51.going to be a ride to glory for Great Britain. Into the finishing

:46:52. > :46:53.straight, and up towards the lion! It is gold for Great Britain!

:46:54. > :47:04.Smashed the world record. Happy days!

:47:05. > :47:08.When you look back and we could have played hours of your highlights, do

:47:09. > :47:13.you think you might have retired before your time? I made the right

:47:14. > :47:20.decision. I always wanted to retire on a high, and being in my 30s,

:47:21. > :47:24.Tokyo, I thought that would be a step too far. I will never know the

:47:25. > :47:28.answer, but I know my body better than anybody else, I know the

:47:29. > :47:34.warning signs, and I am happy with my decision. You can ask me again

:47:35. > :47:39.when Tokyo comes around, but for now I am treasuring those memories.

:47:40. > :47:44.Recently I moved house, going through my boxes of memorabilia, a

:47:45. > :47:49.special memories, I will treasure them forever, but I think I am done

:47:50. > :47:54.with pushing myself to those limits. But I am not getting off my bike. I

:47:55. > :48:00.thought I might want a break, but I have enjoyed riding my bike for fun,

:48:01. > :48:05.to get places, whereas before it was my job, I have to train, but now I

:48:06. > :48:11.can cycle where ever I want, whenever I want, and I have enjoyed

:48:12. > :48:18.doing it for fun. Tell others about the citywide programme. Cycling is

:48:19. > :48:23.so popular now, how can people get involved? It is a programme by

:48:24. > :48:30.British cycling, there are 13 events in cities around the UK this summer.

:48:31. > :48:36.They come to a city, they will shut down the roads in the city centre

:48:37. > :48:40.and set them up. List, traffic free, just bikes, families, children, men,

:48:41. > :48:45.women, anybody can go along, you sign up by the website, you just

:48:46. > :48:51.enjoy riding your bike in that environment. The first one is next

:48:52. > :48:57.weekend in Birmingham, but there is one pretty much every weekend in the

:48:58. > :49:01.summer. What is it inspired by? It is about getting more people on

:49:02. > :49:05.bikes, they would love to see 2 million more people on bikes by

:49:06. > :49:11.2020, and it is a nice way to make cycling accessible. It shows how a

:49:12. > :49:14.city can be when cycling takes more of a priority over motor traffic.

:49:15. > :49:23.Would like to share the roads better. We cycle on the roads, I

:49:24. > :49:27.sometimes find it quite scary. You want to get along to the

:49:28. > :49:33.citywide! What is the answer? In London, there

:49:34. > :49:40.is something quite serious going on between cyclists and some car

:49:41. > :49:45.drivers. What can we do? We need more education about sharing the

:49:46. > :49:51.roads. I see people talking about cyclists against motorists, but I am

:49:52. > :49:57.both, so I do not see it that way. If everybody could share the road

:49:58. > :50:01.together... Far more prioritisation of cycling lanes is important. You

:50:02. > :50:06.can look at the models of places like Belgium and Holland, how that

:50:07. > :50:11.works. We know the benefits that can come from cycling, it reduces

:50:12. > :50:16.congestion and pollution and we get fitter, but people find they face

:50:17. > :50:19.barriers. British cycling are working with authorities to

:50:20. > :50:25.prioritise the cycling infrastructure. But education and

:50:26. > :50:31.awareness will be the biggest thing, we are all road users, we have to

:50:32. > :50:39.share the road together. Whenever we got to a major tournament, Tom and

:50:40. > :50:45.love games or Olympics, there was a guaranteed medal for the likes of

:50:46. > :50:50.yourself and Chris Hoy, but now we have lost you and Bradley Wiggins

:50:51. > :50:53.and Laura Kenny is taking a back-seat... That is not the right

:50:54. > :50:57.thing to say, but she is having a family with Jason Kenny. Is there

:50:58. > :51:04.enough quality coming through to maintain that medal rush?

:51:05. > :51:09.Definitely. On the gills' side there is a squad of about eight aged

:51:10. > :51:15.between 18 and 20 who asked nothing at the heels of the senior riders

:51:16. > :51:19.for Tokyo. There is a lot of strength in depth, especially on the

:51:20. > :51:24.Gilles' side, a huge increase in the standard. I look at the 18-year-olds

:51:25. > :51:31.now, they are a lot better than I was at that age. It is an exciting

:51:32. > :51:35.time. We are very good at privatising the Olympic Games, so

:51:36. > :51:40.you get a lull in performance, then it comes up in the Olympic year. I

:51:41. > :51:44.am keeping the Faith, there is a lot more success to come. You are going

:51:45. > :51:50.to do one stage of the Tour de France as well. I am doing that in

:51:51. > :51:56.July. I have never ridden that far in my life, in the Alps as well. You

:51:57. > :52:03.are more used to short bursts. Exactly. The City Ride programme

:52:04. > :52:11.starts on the 11th of June in Birmingham.

:52:12. > :52:21.This is a library picture! The temperatures are widely in double

:52:22. > :52:36.figures at the moment. Across southern areas, a lovely

:52:37. > :52:43.picture from Hertfordshire, showing cloud. As we move north, clear skies

:52:44. > :52:47.across South Yorkshire. Today it will be mostly dry, there will be

:52:48. > :52:53.sunny spells and one or two showers, but they will be the exception. We

:52:54. > :52:56.have medium to high cloud across Scotland and Northern Ireland, some

:52:57. > :53:00.sea fog in areas close to the Irish Sea and the English channel, and

:53:01. > :53:06.more clout. In England and South Wales. The sunny sky will be for

:53:07. > :53:11.North Wales, northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, but

:53:12. > :53:21.we are prone to the sea flog -- the sea fog lapping at the shore. A lot

:53:22. > :53:25.of sunshine inland, including across Scotland. Fairweather cloud here and

:53:26. > :53:29.there are times. For Northern Ireland, bright skies or sunny

:53:30. > :53:34.skies, but if you are stuck under any sea fog, it will depress the

:53:35. > :53:38.temperature. North-west England and parts of Wales could see more sea

:53:39. > :53:43.fog. It will mostly stay out to sea. One or two showers for Wales.

:53:44. > :53:53.South-west England brightens up nicely. There will be some heavies

:53:54. > :54:00.of cloud. There is the chance he could see the odd shower, but they

:54:01. > :54:04.will be the exception. The sea fog across the Southeast might slap

:54:05. > :54:08.across the shoreline as we go through the course of today, but you

:54:09. > :54:13.are more likely to see it this evening and overnight. There will

:54:14. > :54:18.also be more clout across North Wales, northern England, Scotland

:54:19. > :54:23.and Northern Ireland, so it will not be as cold tomorrow. We have a

:54:24. > :54:29.weather front waiting in the wings, which will introduce rain. It is not

:54:30. > :54:36.moving particularly quickly. The wind will strengthen, and the

:54:37. > :54:41.heaviest rain will be in the hills. Ahead of it, for the bulk of England

:54:42. > :54:46.and Wales, it stays dry, variable cloud, sunny sky. If you stuck under

:54:47. > :54:51.the sea fog, the temperatures will be much lower. Behind the rain, a

:54:52. > :54:53.mixture of bright spells, sunshine and showers, but something a bit

:54:54. > :55:01.fresher. I think that might have been Banba

:55:02. > :55:05.Castle! I am relying on social media! Could be horribly wrong!

:55:06. > :55:12.The Breakfast butty van is touring the nations of the UK this week.

:55:13. > :55:16.We were in Wales yesterday, Naga will be in Scotland on Friday,

:55:17. > :55:17.but this morning we're in Northern Ireland.

:55:18. > :55:21.Steph is in Portrush with our Ireland Correspondent Chris Buckler,

:55:22. > :55:27.looking at the issues affecting voters there.

:55:28. > :55:38.Get your wet suit out! I am not revealing anything yet! Let

:55:39. > :55:43.me explain, we have serious work to do before we see any of that

:55:44. > :55:47.shenanigans. It is gorgeous here, you can see the surfers who have

:55:48. > :55:51.been out since the crack of dawn. We had some children from the local

:55:52. > :55:59.school, having some lessons on the beach. They do that regularly. They

:56:00. > :56:04.have yoga, surfing lessons, mindfulness, a beautiful town, 7000

:56:05. > :56:07.people live here. We have brought our fan here, we have talked to

:56:08. > :56:13.businesses about how they feel about the election. A lot of them are

:56:14. > :56:19.worried about Brexit and skills. One of the common things we talk about

:56:20. > :56:24.across the UK. Chris will be talking to some politicians are.

:56:25. > :56:27.What a treat it is going to be for her birthday to go into the cold

:56:28. > :56:36.waters of the North Coast. But first, a treat for you, and Northern

:56:37. > :56:45.Ireland's politicians. It is turning into a Brexit election. The Sinn

:56:46. > :56:52.Fein representative has chosen to stay in Belfast. You don't take your

:56:53. > :56:57.seats in the UK Parliament because you are at stage nest, but does that

:56:58. > :57:08.mean you are really going to be able to affect what Brexit means?

:57:09. > :57:19.Can you hear me? We will try again. I was going to say about Brexit, you

:57:20. > :57:25.don't take your seat in the UK Parliament, do you feel that you can

:57:26. > :57:30.make a difference to how Brexit will affect Northern Ireland? Absolutely,

:57:31. > :57:38.I apologise for not being with you, it sounds like a beautiful morning.

:57:39. > :57:44.I see the tide of equality coming in, the election is about Brexit,

:57:45. > :57:49.but also about the respect agenda, the equality agenda and the momentum

:57:50. > :57:52.for change. Much of it has been sparked by Brexit, because Brexit

:57:53. > :57:58.will do untold damage to the economy, society, community across

:57:59. > :58:04.the island, and we have been at the vanguard of the push against Brexit.

:58:05. > :58:08.I have been to Brussels twice, I have addressed the 27 other

:58:09. > :58:13.ministers for Europe in Brussels, to tell them that we wish to remain in

:58:14. > :58:19.Europe. We need a special designated status within the EU, which would

:58:20. > :58:24.mean we have an advantageous status, we would be able to trade with the

:58:25. > :58:32.rest of the EU and with Britain. We have got support for that stanza

:58:33. > :58:35.from the Irish Parliament in Dublin, and from the European Parliament,

:58:36. > :58:45.and the campaign continues at pace, to make sure the Brexiteers do not

:58:46. > :58:52.win. People keep on talking about this special status, but what does

:58:53. > :58:56.that actually mean? We do not need special status. We need a proper

:58:57. > :59:01.agreement on Brexit, but what we do not want is any form of hard border

:59:02. > :59:05.between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, and no hard

:59:06. > :59:11.border across these islands. We do not need borders. The British

:59:12. > :59:16.Government does not want hard borders, the Irish Government does

:59:17. > :59:21.not, the EU does not, so we do not need to have them. Let's get an

:59:22. > :59:30.agreement and let's get moving. You probably feel differently, do you

:59:31. > :59:38.see anyway of as having a hard border? Reason I cannot answer it,

:59:39. > :59:40.the former deputy -- the former First Minister and Deputy First

:59:41. > :59:45.Minister cannot answer it. They can be no hard borders, we will continue

:59:46. > :59:51.to stand against it. The majority of people here voted to remain in

:59:52. > :59:59.Europe, a border would be disastrous, especially our business

:00:00. > :00:02.and economy. The Alliance party is effectively in opposition at

:00:03. > :00:07.Stormont, or should be, but there is no Government here, so is there any

:00:08. > :00:15.way of influencing what happens elsewhere? Regardless of how people

:00:16. > :00:18.voted in the referendum, the 18 MPs from Northern Ireland will have to

:00:19. > :00:21.come together and find common ground and use it to influence the British

:00:22. > :00:27.Government in what will be a special deal for Northern Ireland. We have

:00:28. > :00:31.particular circumstances around our peace and reconciliation process and

:00:32. > :00:35.our border with Ireland. There are too many issues at stake for the

:00:36. > :00:36.politicians to keep harking back to the politics of the past. We have to

:00:37. > :00:47.work together. The DUP came out as the biggest

:00:48. > :00:51.party in the last election, which was only three months ago. We are

:00:52. > :00:57.back to the polls again. I am sure you are thrilled about that. But at

:00:58. > :01:01.the same time, how do you feel about the special status?

:01:02. > :01:08.First of all here at Porthmadog, we are actually going to hear a lot of

:01:09. > :01:18.pot tragic, because all I get is the scare stories about Brexit and what

:01:19. > :01:21.it is going to mean. That is why returning MPs they go to Parliament

:01:22. > :01:25.and do the job, it will mean that instead of hearing more scare

:01:26. > :01:29.stories, there are more scare stories than at a haunted house, for

:01:30. > :01:33.goodness' sake. It is essential to return MPs that do a good job. You

:01:34. > :01:36.were shaking your head throughout all of that. I live in a border

:01:37. > :01:42.constituency. There is no assembly all of that. I live in a border

:01:43. > :01:45.to negotiate. Theresa May doesn't know what she's doing. There are

:01:46. > :01:50.questions that remain unanswered. There could a border, there may not

:01:51. > :01:54.be a border. No one knows the answer. We are told by the Prime

:01:55. > :02:00.Minister that no deal is better than a bad bill. There is already a

:02:01. > :02:09.border there. There is no hard border. I don't want to build gun

:02:10. > :02:14.turrets on the border. Britain has been a trading nation for thousands

:02:15. > :02:17.of years. We can make it work, but it will be difficult. We do need to

:02:18. > :02:22.get the Northern Ireland assembly back up and running again. We have

:02:23. > :02:27.got to get a deal that works for Northern Ireland. It is not just

:02:28. > :02:33.about trade deals, it is also about migration policy. Our health sector

:02:34. > :02:37.and tourism and agricultural sector are reliant on free movement of

:02:38. > :02:41.people. That has to be part of the mix as well. A lot of this depends

:02:42. > :02:44.on getting the government here back up and running. Do you think that is

:02:45. > :02:53.realistic? Some feel that Sinn Fein is bucking any deal at this stage.

:02:54. > :02:59.No, the Sinn Fein -- the DUP know what has to be done. As you know,

:03:00. > :03:05.they are against marriage equality. They are against an Irish language

:03:06. > :03:10.act, when there is a Gaelic language act in Scotland. The DUP have to

:03:11. > :03:14.sign up to the respect and rights agenda. I am confident that that

:03:15. > :03:18.will happen and we will have a government back here. That is our

:03:19. > :03:22.aim. But let's have this election. Let's get a strong mandate for Sinn

:03:23. > :03:27.Fein to get back into talks and greater government people can be

:03:28. > :03:30.proud of. Thank you very much to all of the politicians here. They are

:03:31. > :03:36.all going to sing happy birthday to Steph. They are excited about doing

:03:37. > :03:42.that. They are also excited to see what happens to Steph. Look, at the

:03:43. > :03:44.edge of the water, you can see that she is heading into the surf. It

:03:45. > :03:59.could be very cold. Thank you, Chris. In my opinion,

:04:00. > :04:05.there is nothing better than a birthday surf. Bracing! We will be

:04:06. > :04:07.back with Steph in the Portrush surf before the end of the programme.

:04:08. > :04:10.We'll chat to Inbetweeners stars Joe Thomas and James Buckley

:04:11. > :04:12.about their new sitcom, White Gold, in just a moment.

:04:13. > :05:49.That's all. I will be back with our brief look at the headlines

:05:50. > :06:00.That's all. I will be back with our lunchtime news at 1.30. Bye-bye.

:06:01. > :06:06.I was about to tell our guests to shush, but that would be rude!

:06:07. > :06:13.What happens when you take two of the Inbetweeners,

:06:14. > :06:15.transport them back to the '80s, and put them in a double-glazing

:06:16. > :06:18.A new BBC comedy all about dodgy shenanigans,

:06:19. > :06:27.Joe Thomas and James Buckley have joined forces again -

:06:28. > :06:30.this time to star in the new sitcom, White Gold.

:06:31. > :06:33.We'll chat to them in a moment, but first, let's take

:06:34. > :06:36.I'm Martin Lavender from Cachet Windows.

:06:37. > :06:39.You have your dinner, I'll call back another day.

:06:40. > :06:44.VOICEOVER: Formerly a musician, he quit his struggling band

:06:45. > :06:51.# Let me guess what's on your mind...

:06:52. > :06:53.Unfortunately, three months later, his now ex-band landed the biggest

:06:54. > :06:55.number one single of the year with

:06:56. > :07:04.# Wherever I lay my hat, that's my home...

:07:05. > :07:06.Naturally, we rallied around to help him

:07:07. > :07:31.Joe Thomas and Denis Buckley are here. -- J Thomas and James Buckley.

:07:32. > :07:36.Set it up for us. You are all working in the same place? Yes, we

:07:37. > :07:45.work in a double glazing firm and then the other salesmen is Vincent,

:07:46. > :07:56.the boss. The head of sales. But we have another boss that we are scared

:07:57. > :08:02.of. I am quite a bad salesmen, as you see there. You are a bit too

:08:03. > :08:07.nice. Joe's character is quite honest and a decent human being.

:08:08. > :08:13.Whereas yours isn't. Four turns out you have to be an awful person to be

:08:14. > :08:17.a good salesperson. It doesn't happen if you are worried about

:08:18. > :08:22.whether the product is what they need. I am sure sales men these days

:08:23. > :08:27.would say things have changed. This was probably the bad old days of

:08:28. > :08:35.double glazing and really hard selling. We are not necessarily

:08:36. > :08:42.saying these practices continue. He says, backtracking! I was a terrible

:08:43. > :08:46.salesmen. That is how I would be if I had to sell. I used to work in the

:08:47. > :08:50.late, great BHS. I wasn't responsible for its demise, by the

:08:51. > :08:55.way. But I had to sell the store credit card when I was in BHS and I

:08:56. > :09:01.was useless at it. I have a lot of admiration for people who can do it

:09:02. > :09:07.well. It is a skill. You grew up in Essex. So in terms of the

:09:08. > :09:13.representation of the good people of Essex, where you concerned about

:09:14. > :09:23.that? Not at all. They are getting ripped off here if anything. I am

:09:24. > :09:27.proud to be from Essex. I grew up in Dagenham and it was great to not

:09:28. > :09:35.only do a comedy set in Essex, but we filmed it in Essex as well. The

:09:36. > :09:43.characters that we explore our more the types of people that I know.

:09:44. > :09:47.They are what I call normal people, which is 99% of the country. In

:09:48. > :09:53.Great Britain, we are known for our sense of humour, super sharp, very

:09:54. > :10:01.quick-witted. And that is what these characters are like. I think

:10:02. > :10:06.wherever you are in suburban Britain, those are the people you

:10:07. > :10:11.meet. It is great to do something that is about normal people. Because

:10:12. > :10:15.it is set in the '80s, and I am not sure you remember the 80s because

:10:16. > :10:24.you are too young. Joe knows it better than me. Those were my best

:10:25. > :10:34.years, the 80s. Does it give you more leeway than it would if it was

:10:35. > :10:40.set now? I think so. I think the 80s in particular seems to be really

:10:41. > :10:45.great. There is a lot of material in that decade for comedy. Just the

:10:46. > :10:51.attitudes, and men especially, white men. It was a time when even just

:10:52. > :11:02.the way men dressed, they expressed themselves more. It was a bit more

:11:03. > :11:09.front foot. It was good to be in your face. It is not tended to have

:11:10. > :11:15.that sort of macho swagger any more. You almost can't find an actor who

:11:16. > :11:29.does that. But you found one. We found the last one. Ed has been in

:11:30. > :11:34.America, where they keep it alive. And the episode that is on tonight,

:11:35. > :11:42.you have written. I did indeed. We can't show a clip because it is just

:11:43. > :11:47.too rude! People who are fans of The Inbetweeners will be accustomed to

:11:48. > :11:51.some of the language used. Tonight's episode is one of my favourites. And

:11:52. > :11:59.because of that, there was no way we can show it. But in terms of the

:12:00. > :12:04.challenge of writing, did it take a long time? It did, because as you

:12:05. > :12:13.said, I didn't remember the 80s. I was aware it had happened. From my

:12:14. > :12:18.maths. They must have done! But I was trying to torture as many people

:12:19. > :12:21.who remembered it and get a sense of what people were watching on TV,

:12:22. > :12:28.what they were listening to, what the cultural attitudes were. It was

:12:29. > :12:32.that that I was interested in, rather than... I started off trying

:12:33. > :12:37.to read about politics, but it was quite dry and not really what

:12:38. > :12:45.character comedy is about. It is more that they all loved Miami Vice.

:12:46. > :12:48.I loved Miami Vice! Me too, it's fantastic. That was the kind of

:12:49. > :12:51.thing I wanted to get to the root of. Thank you for coming to see us.

:12:52. > :12:53.White Gold is on BBC Two tonight at 10pm.

:12:54. > :12:58.The entire series is also available on the BBC iPlayer.

:12:59. > :13:08.Didn't have that in the '80s. Steph has been out and about in Northern

:13:09. > :13:11.Ireland for us this morning. The party that has crossed the Irish

:13:12. > :13:18.sea. We promised you that on her birthday, she would be taking a dip.

:13:19. > :13:22.There she is. She has been having a surfing lesson. I am not sure if it

:13:23. > :13:26.is her first, but having had a couple myself, it might have been.

:13:27. > :13:27.Steph, have a lovely, happy birthday.

:13:28. > :13:30.Charlie and Naga will be back with Breakfast tomorrow from six.

:13:31. > :13:34.We are in Scotland with the Breakfast butty van on Friday.
