Hello this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

:00:07.:00:09.

A man hunt is launched for a prisoner who's

:00:10.:00:11.

escaped his guards armed with a razor blade.

:00:12.:00:14.

Michal Kisier was being treated at a hospital in Salisbury

:00:15.:00:17.

The police say he is dangerous and should not be approached.

:00:18.:00:37.

Good morning, it's Wednesday 31st May.

:00:38.:00:39.

A warning of extra costs for the NHS if British pensioners living

:00:40.:00:44.

in other EU countries have to return home for health care after Brexit.

A warning of extra costs for the NHS if British pensioners living

in other EU countries have to return home for health care after Brexit.

:00:57.:01:02.

We've brought the Breakfast Butty Van over

:01:03.:01:06.

to Portrush on the beautiful Northern Irish coast ahead of next

:01:07.:01:08.

week's election to find out what locals here want

:01:09.:01:10.

In sport, two more years for Arsene Wenger.

:01:11.:01:17.

He will extend his 21-year spell as Arsenal manager with an official

:01:18.:01:20.

As Ariana Grande announces she and some of the biggest names

:01:21.:01:26.

in pop will hold a benefit concert for the victims

:01:27.:01:28.

of the Manchester bombing, we'll speak to the man who had

:01:29.:01:31.

to organise it all - in just four days.

:01:32.:01:34.

Good morning. To date will be cloudy across the southern half of the UK,

:01:35.:01:47.

but equally, brightness, Polyanskiy share across the north of the

:01:48.:01:50.

country with pleasant sunshine. More details in 15 minutes. Carol, thank

:01:51.:01:53.

you. Police say a "dangerous" prisoner

:01:54.:01:56.

believed to be armed with a razor blade is on the run after escaping

:01:57.:02:00.

from officers in Wiltshire. The man had been taken

:02:01.:02:03.

to hospital with a head injury, before escaping

:02:04.:02:06.

from guards yesterday evening. Let's get more on this

:02:07.:02:08.

from our correspondent Greg Dawson. The missing man is 30-year-old

:02:09.:02:20.

Michal Kisier and he's been on the run since 7pm last night. Police

:02:21.:02:25.

have issued a couple of photos of him, this is the description of him,

:02:26.:02:30.

5'6", blonde hair, tattooed on his neck and at the time of his escape

:02:31.:02:34.

last night he was wearing grey tracksuit bottoms, like T-shirt and

:02:35.:02:39.

blue trainers. They mentioned he had a head injury, he was being treated

:02:40.:02:43.

in hospital last night when somehow he managed to escape prison guards.

:02:44.:02:48.

Police are clearly concerned this man is dangerous. They have said to

:02:49.:02:51.

people do not approach, if you see him while 999, a manhunt across

:02:52.:02:57.

Wiltshire is taking place involving officers on the ground with police

:02:58.:03:04.

dogs, also from the sky with a police helicopter deployed. Michal

:03:05.:03:07.

Kisier was convicted last year for holding a mother and her teenage

:03:08.:03:11.

daughter in their own homes at knife-point, he was sent to gel for

:03:12.:03:15.

five years for that offence. Police clearly very worried about the

:03:16.:03:18.

threat he may pose to the public, that message again if you think you

:03:19.:03:22.

have seen him, do not approach, dial 999. Greg, thank you.

:03:23.:03:27.

The NHS could have to raise an extra half a billion pounds a year,

:03:28.:03:30.

if British pensioners living in other EU countries have to return

:03:31.:03:33.

That's the warning from a health charity this morning.

:03:34.:03:36.

The Nuffield Trust says the cost of treating them on home

:03:37.:03:39.

soil rather than abroad could cost almost a billion pounds,

:03:40.:03:41.

For many British pensioners it's the appeal of a retirement in the

:03:42.:03:49.

sunshine that attracts them to move to countries like Spain or France.

:03:50.:03:54.

But having the same health care rights as the locals is an important

:03:55.:03:57.

It's part of a reciprocal scheme which the UK pays around ?500

:03:58.:04:02.

It covers nearly 200,000 British expats living out

:04:03.:04:09.

But it's a deal potentially under threat when

:04:10.:04:14.

Brexit happens according to the Nuffield Trust.

:04:15.:04:20.

People, if they had to return from countries whhere

:04:21.:04:24.

they live in the EU to here, retired people, could cost the NHS

:04:25.:04:27.

probably need more hospital beds and nurses to give those people

:04:28.:04:31.

Unless a deal is struck the Trust says pensioners

:04:32.:04:35.

health care and if they returned to Britain for treatment it could cost

:04:36.:04:39.

Last year spending on the NHS in England

:04:40.:04:43.

The Nuffield Trust estimates that the NHS would

:04:44.:04:47.

need around 1600 more doctors, nurses and other workers to provide

:04:48.:04:49.

In response, the Conservative Party says protecting

:04:50.:05:03.

the rights of UK nationals in the EU is one of their priorities for the

:05:04.:05:06.

But the Liberal Democrats said this report is

:05:07.:05:09.

evidence that Theresa May's extreme version of Brexit would be a

:05:10.:05:12.

disaster for the NHS putting huge pressure on hospitals.

:05:13.:05:14.

Labour are yet to comment but had previously

:05:15.:05:16.

accused the Conservatives of starving the NHS.

:05:17.:05:18.

The Nuffield Trust stresses Brexit could be beneficial

:05:19.:05:21.

if the existing EU membership fees are diverted to the NHS.

:05:22.:05:25.

And we'll speak to one of the authors of that report

:05:26.:05:30.

THe 2 main parties are concentrating on their core messages,

:05:31.:05:41.

as campaigning intensifies ahead of the general election next week.

:05:42.:05:44.

Labour will focus on schools and hospitals,

:05:45.:05:45.

claiming the Conservatives have neglected public services.

:05:46.:05:47.

But the Tories say a Labour government would threaten

:05:48.:05:49.

the economy by negotiating a bad Brexit deal.

:05:50.:05:51.

Let's get more from our political correspondent, Chris Mason.

:05:52.:06:00.

Good morning. What's that in your hand? They are back! Good morning,

:06:01.:06:09.

sir. Good morning to you, we are here with a week to go, I've been

:06:10.:06:15.

back as you spotted into my, excuse me, my rucksack this morning to the

:06:16.:06:20.

manifestoes. What are they doing? They are playing the hit records,

:06:21.:06:25.

the greatest hits, they conclude there is no point scrapping around

:06:26.:06:28.

in the back of the cupboard and playing that obscure it be side,

:06:29.:06:32.

they want to talk about their policies that they think stand the

:06:33.:06:39.

best chance is ofed chances of wooing voters with, Labour talking

:06:40.:06:42.

about public services and Conservative investment plans for

:06:43.:06:46.

schools and portables, they say they have the real plan, Labour saying

:06:47.:06:51.

they are proud of this document, a fully costed manifesto on like the

:06:52.:06:54.

Conservatives. Critics ponder whether or not the sums will add up,

:06:55.:06:57.

whether they will generate the amount of tax they promised they

:06:58.:07:02.

will be able to, and as for the Conservatives on this document they

:07:03.:07:06.

focus on Brexit, we saw this from the Prime Minister yesterday and we

:07:07.:07:09.

will continue to see it for the next week but critics saying hang on,

:07:10.:07:14.

Theresa May, we published this, you said the election was about Brexit

:07:15.:07:16.

and when you flick through this, there isn't a great wheel of the

:07:17.:07:22.

tale about it. Thank you, Chris, goal and clear your throat, we will

:07:23.:07:23.

see you later. A 30-year old man has been arrested

:07:24.:07:28.

on suspicion of murder, after the bodies of a woman and 2

:07:29.:07:31.

children were discovered The discovery was made by officers

:07:32.:07:34.

investigating reports of a fuel leak Police say they're not

:07:35.:07:38.

looking for anyone else. 3 men arrested after last week's

:07:39.:07:42.

Manchester bombing have been Detectives are still questioning 11

:07:43.:07:44.

people to try to find out whether the bomber,

:07:45.:07:48.

Salman Abedi, had help. A breast surgeon who carried out

:07:49.:07:51.

a series of unnecessary operations on his patients will be

:07:52.:07:57.

sentenced later today. Ian Paterson was convicted last

:07:58.:08:00.

month of 17 counts of wounding with intent and 3 counts of unlawful

:08:01.:08:02.

wounding, but lawyers claim the number victims

:08:03.:08:07.

could run into the thousands. And actually, we will speak to one

:08:08.:08:22.

of the women he operated on later in the programme.

:08:23.:08:25.

For the first time, a British police force is to recruit people directly

:08:26.:08:28.

to become detectives - without them having to first work

:08:29.:08:30.

The Metropolitan Police hopes the scheme will fill some

:08:31.:08:33.

of the 600 detective vacancies in the force, and attract people

:08:34.:08:36.

with different skills and backgrounds who might not

:08:37.:08:38.

Abuse and bullying in the online gaming world is a growing problem

:08:39.:08:44.

according to new research from anti-bullying

:08:45.:08:45.

Of the 2,500 gamers they surveyed, half had been

:08:46.:08:50.

Here's our technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones.

:08:51.:08:58.

For 16-year-old Bailey, video games have been a big part

:08:59.:09:01.

of his life and were once an escape when he was getting

:09:02.:09:04.

He enjoys pitting his skills against other players online,

:09:05.:09:09.

but what he doesn't like is the abuse he sometimes

:09:10.:09:11.

He first experienced bullying in games when he was ten and it's

:09:12.:09:17.

If I'm playing a game and I score a goal, I've literally been

:09:18.:09:22.

If you're being bullied at school, you come home and play your computer

:09:23.:09:34.

and you are just getting more abuse thrown at you.

:09:35.:09:36.

It's just going to put you off doing anything social.

:09:37.:09:39.

The charity Ditch The Label surveyed 2,500 young gamers.

:09:40.:09:41.

57% said they had been subjected to hate speech in an online game.

:09:42.:09:44.

47% had received threats and 40% had had unwanted sexual contact.

:09:45.:09:47.

What's changed over the last decade is that more and more games

:09:48.:09:50.

are played online and that means young gamers are encountering

:09:51.:09:52.

anonymous people from around the world and chatting with them.

:09:53.:09:58.

That can of course, be very positive, but it also lays them open

:09:59.:10:03.

to the kind of dangers we've seen elsewhere in the online world.

:10:04.:10:05.

The anti-bullying charity worked with the online game

:10:06.:10:07.

'Have A Hotel' to research young gamers' experiences.

:10:08.:10:09.

I think what's so shocking is the fact that it's

:10:10.:10:15.

We had gamers telling us this was just part

:10:16.:10:18.

Bailey says he has now learned not to let abuse get to him,

:10:19.:10:25.

but he wants the games companies to do more to watch over

:10:26.:10:28.

what happens online and to act to stop the bullies.

:10:29.:10:30.

Rehearsals have begun for the concert in Manchester on Sunday when

:10:31.:10:49.

Ariana Grande will appear. The black eyed peas will join the line-up

:10:50.:10:52.

which includes an amazing line-up, Kerry, Justin Bieber, take that and

:10:53.:10:58.

Coldplay. Tickets will go on sale tomorrow at 10am, the proceeds

:10:59.:11:02.

donated to victims and families of those injured. For those who don't

:11:03.:11:08.

get tickets it will be shown on BBC One from six until nine on Sunday

:11:09.:11:11.

evening and those people who went to the concert or had tickets, they

:11:12.:11:16.

will get free tickets. Some say it's too soon to go and that's fine, but

:11:17.:11:21.

if you want to go, picture number into the system. You would imagine

:11:22.:11:26.

they'll have to have quite a robust computer system because you might

:11:27.:11:30.

quite a number of people will be applying. 10am tomorrow, they go on

:11:31.:11:34.

sale, I think you have to preregister today if you are

:11:35.:11:35.

interested. We will clear that up. Stargazers in Australia

:11:36.:11:38.

:11:49.:12:01.

scenes. You could have that as a screensaver. Have you seen either in

:12:02.:12:05.

real life? I have seen the Aurora Borealis. Have you? I have never. 12

:12:12.:12:15.

people go and they don't see them, that would be so disappointing.

:12:16.:12:21.

Catherine, good morning. We are talking about the not so surprising

:12:22.:12:29.

news that is unfit -- Arsen Wenger will stay at Arsenal but isn't the

:12:30.:12:33.

right choice? And if I were him I would probably have gone out on a

:12:34.:12:38.

high. There is the argument. He probably feels he wants to challenge

:12:39.:12:42.

for the title, he wouldn't do it if he didn't think he had a chance. But

:12:43.:12:46.

he is letting himself in for a mother two seasons... 21 years in

:12:47.:12:50.

charge. There'll be an official

:12:51.:12:53.

announcement later today. Wenger's contract was about to end -

:12:54.:12:54.

Arsenal had finished outside the top four for the first time in twenty

:12:55.:13:02.

years - but victory in the FA Cup Final over Chelsea saw

:13:36.:13:50.

field in Paris is so wide open with no Serena Williams who is pregnant.

:13:51.:13:56.

And no Maria Sharapova, she did not get into Roland Garros. Everyone

:13:57.:13:59.

expecting Johanna Konta to do well this year but something about the

:14:00.:14:05.

clay does not suit her. She was absolutely gutted, understandably. I

:14:06.:14:11.

feel another sneeze on the way. OK, shall I start the papers? It could

:14:12.:14:15.

come at any moment. Here is a paper to protect you.

:14:16.:14:26.

Let's take a look at this morning's papers.

:14:27.:14:32.

A lot of them are talking about the grand gesture for Manchester, Ariana

:14:33.:14:38.

Grande on the way back to hold this benefit concert, lots of her amazing

:14:39.:14:45.

showbiz friends. Do you think they looked? We will find out from the

:14:46.:14:50.

man who organised it. And then she rings Justin Bieber and he says yes,

:14:51.:14:55.

I will come. There she is again, apologies from a slightly crumpled

:14:56.:14:58.

Guardian newspaper this morning. I think I may have sat on it earlier.

:14:59.:15:03.

And you have the story about Theresa May intensifying the personal

:15:04.:15:09.

attacks on Jeremy Corbyn as the polls narrow. Chris Mason talking

:15:10.:15:15.

about that earlier. The zookeeper story, Rosa King, killed by a tiger,

:15:16.:15:22.

talk about walking into a death trap, the family are asking how the

:15:23.:15:25.

tiger got into the enclosure when she was in there. And the Daily

:15:26.:15:28.

Mirror, the concert of defiance, Katie Parry -- Katy Perry, Coral

:15:29.:15:37.

volumes and take that on the bill. And the Diana death car Oakridge,

:15:38.:15:41.

saying the limousine she died in was a rebuilt wreck. I am looking at

:15:42.:15:49.

Tiger Woods but first, this in the Daily Mail newspaper, but in every

:15:50.:15:57.

newspaper, the French Open, a 21-year-old French male player,

:15:58.:15:59.

interviewed live on television and he started to kiss and apparently

:16:00.:16:06.

groped a female reporter and has had to apologise and had his

:16:07.:16:09.

accreditation revoked, that causing a bit of waste. He says he knows it

:16:10.:16:15.

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

:16:16.:16:19.

apologies, she said she wanted to Puncheon and she would have done

:16:20.:16:23.

they were not live on air! She should have done. That would have

:16:24.:16:26.

made good pictures. This is Tiger Woods. Obviously, he was, arrested,

:16:27.:16:34.

for driving under the influence, some people say it was because of

:16:35.:16:39.

alcohol, he says it's because of a reaction to medicine he was taking

:16:40.:16:43.

but lots of columnists in the paper saying and dissecting what is going

:16:44.:16:47.

on in his life since he hasn't been playing for so long with back and

:16:48.:16:50.

knee injuries, that kind of fall from being the golden child of golf

:16:51.:16:55.

to somebody struggling to make a comeback and will be hearing from

:16:56.:16:59.

Jack Nicholas at 630, the only man in golf that has one more majors

:17:00.:17:04.

than Tiger golf. But he doesn't do well at the moment. It is -- if it

:17:05.:17:10.

is just prescription drugs, and a cocktail of those, the results said

:17:11.:17:13.

there was no alcohol in his system. Precisely. It could be something

:17:14.:17:19.

completely... Exactly. But whatever he does, he is bound to get the

:17:20.:17:22.

headlines. Everyone getting worried about and, rightly or wrongly.

:17:23.:17:28.

Another story today, 50 minutes added to life expectancy every

:17:29.:17:31.

hours, babies born today will live until 104 according to an ageing

:17:32.:17:37.

expert, we are increasing life expectancy by 50 minutes each hour,

:17:38.:17:42.

Sarah Harper from Oxford University, warned people living longer will

:17:43.:17:45.

trigger acute challenges for society and we will have to rethink the way

:17:46.:17:49.

we live our lives, such as whether marriage should last for a lifetime.

:17:50.:17:54.

Come on! Professor Rex Tillerson Mike sort yourself out! There you

:17:55.:18:01.

go. Or you have to work until you are 85! On the plot, Carol has the

:18:02.:18:06.

weather. It looks so beautiful. Some people feel like they are 104

:18:07.:18:19.

already this morning, Louise! Looking at Sunny spells this

:18:20.:18:22.

morning, the best in the northern half of the country. In the South,

:18:23.:18:29.

this weather front moving south, showers here, but equally, things

:18:30.:18:31.

are brightening through the course of the day. This morning, cloud

:18:32.:18:36.

across south-west England and South Wales and southern counties. Some

:18:37.:18:40.

sea fog in the English Channel, you might find that coming on shore but

:18:41.:18:47.

it shouldn't make too much inroads in the southern counties of England

:18:48.:18:51.

themselves, but you can see there is cloud around,

:18:52.:18:53.

moving to Northern Ireland. After a chilly start,

:18:54.:18:57.

temperatures in single figures, but in the sunshine picking up quite

:18:58.:19:04.

readily. Some sea fog, generally through the RAC, finding that

:19:05.:19:11.

lapping onshore. Looking at some sunshine. North Wales seeing

:19:12.:19:14.

sunshine but the rest of Wales, really cloudy. Through the course of

:19:15.:19:20.

today at times it will brighten up in the south but some medium or high

:19:21.:19:24.

cloud around, we could see some showers developing from mid Wales

:19:25.:19:28.

down to Kent but it could be hit and miss. You will be unlucky if you

:19:29.:19:32.

catch one, if you are in the sunshine and light winds it will

:19:33.:19:35.

feel pleasant with a top temperatures of 24 degrees in the

:19:36.:19:40.

south-east, in Scotland around 20 degrees. This evening and overnight,

:19:41.:19:45.

a lot of dry weather around, elements of cloud and mist and fog

:19:46.:19:49.

forming, not as cold in the north as the night that has just gone but a

:19:50.:19:53.

weather front showing its hand, coming from the West, introducing

:19:54.:19:58.

some rain, the heaviest reaching heights. Tomorrow, starting with

:19:59.:20:02.

rain making inroads from the west across parts of Northern Ireland and

:20:03.:20:07.

Scotland, the wind picking up, a lot of tri- weather for the rest of the

:20:08.:20:12.

UK, this sea fog not too far away from the southern counties of

:20:13.:20:17.

England, the inland penetration of this pretty small. Most of us

:20:18.:20:20.

thunderstorms across parts of the south-east and East Anglia, on the

:20:52.:20:55.

other side of that, richer conditions and some showers. If you

:20:56.:20:59.

are wondering about the weekend, here it is, a mixture of sunshine

:21:00.:21:03.

and showers, not all of us seeing showers, not quite as warm, muggy in

:21:04.:21:09.

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

:21:10.:21:15.

interesting, looking about, it looks like it slashed down the country,

dividing temperatures. Carol, thank you. See you later.

The Breakfast election Butty Van is continuing to cross the nation

:21:25.:21:26.

as the days tick down to next Thursday's general election.

:21:27.:21:29.

Yesterday we were in glorious Llandudno in Wales, and this morning

:21:30.:21:31.

Steph's crossed the Irish Sea to Portrush in Northern Ireland.

:21:32.:21:34.

She will be with us in a few moments. Hopefully, she will! Out in

:21:35.:21:50.

the meantime... Are we going to show the film in the meantime? Yes, I

:21:51.:21:53.

think we are. You'll find dramatic beauty,

:21:54.:21:57.

all along the north coast And it's scenery that makes

:21:58.:21:59.

a spectacular setting. The series Game Of Thrones uses this

:22:00.:22:02.

area as a filming location and some see in its stories of scheming

:22:03.:22:06.

division and conflict, more than a few similarities

:22:07.:22:08.

with politics in Northern Ireland. Here, many vote, along what are

:22:09.:22:12.

sometimes called tribal lines. You were a unionist if you grew up

:22:13.:22:17.

in a unionist family and you were a Republican

:22:18.:22:20.

if you grew up in All you'll hear is,

:22:21.:22:22.

"if you don't vote, some of those And that's coming from both

:22:23.:22:26.

sides of the community. Down through the ages of history

:22:27.:22:29.

and still fought in modern times. Game Of Thrones is a fantasy saga,

:22:30.:22:36.

which tells an epic tale set across continents of a fight

:22:37.:22:47.

for the Iron Throne. The often vicious and violent drama

:22:48.:22:50.

might be worlds away from where so much of it is filmed,

:22:51.:22:52.

but political battles are nothing For politics to work here,

:22:53.:22:55.

people have to share power It's why there's currently no

:22:56.:22:58.

government in Northern Ireland and why this election is proving

:22:59.:23:03.

to be a bitter fight Political deadlock is nothing

:23:04.:23:06.

new on this part of this island, but it is frustrating for those

:23:07.:23:14.

who want to show off what Northern Ireland has to offer,

:23:15.:23:17.

including business owners. They're being asked to vote again

:23:18.:23:21.

at a time when the lack of government at Stormont

:23:22.:23:23.

is preventing decisions I think they should do

:23:24.:23:25.

more for education. They should be doing

:23:26.:23:32.

more for the tourist industry and most of all,

:23:33.:23:35.

they should be trying Yet, years of political progress can

:23:36.:23:37.

be seen with every bus-load The international popularity

:23:38.:23:45.

of Game Of Thrones certainly helps attract them to the caves

:23:46.:23:50.

and castles used as backdrops. But during times when regular

:23:51.:23:54.

violence here was more than just fictional,

:23:55.:23:56.

many wouldn't have come. This is our 12th day now

:23:57.:24:00.

and we just love it, But believe it or not,

:24:01.:24:03.

there's no government No, but that doesn't

:24:04.:24:08.

really surprise me. However, politics is important

:24:09.:24:14.

with challenges like Brexit looming. This is the only part of the UK

:24:15.:24:17.

to share a land border And this Methodist minister,

:24:18.:24:20.

who was a key figure in Northern Ireland's peace process,

:24:21.:24:27.

says stability is needed. Conflict will divide people

:24:28.:24:34.

into camps and people then will go back to voting in their camps

:24:35.:24:38.

and in their tribal traditions. Come on, it's time we moved

:24:39.:24:43.

beyond that, the world has changed, Some feel the fighting

:24:44.:24:46.

between the politicians can be for show, simply because it's

:24:47.:24:51.

good for votes. But it also makes election time

:24:52.:24:54.

a particularly divisive time. Good morning, everyone, that piece

Hello this is Breakfast with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

:26:59.:30:31.

We'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment,

:30:32.:30:34.

It's thought hundreds, even thousands of people,

:30:35.:30:37.

could have undergone unnecessary operations by the former breast

:30:38.:30:40.

As some of his victims call for a public inquiry

:30:41.:30:45.

into what happened, we'll hear from a patient who says he "seemed

Justin Bieber, Katy Perry and Take That are amongst the stars

set to join pop star Ariana Grande for a concert in aid of the victims

Just eating dinner. You have your dinner I will call back another day.

:30:57.:31:16.

Thanks, love. They made their names in the X-rated

:31:17.:31:23.

teen comedy The Inbetweeners, now Joe Thomas and James Buckley

:31:24.:31:25.

have been reunited in the unlikely setting of a double-glazing

:31:26.:31:28.

showroom in Essex. They'll tell us about their

:31:29.:31:30.

new sitcom, White Gold. But now a summary of this

:31:31.:31:32.

morning's main news. Rehearsals have begun for Sunday's

:31:33.:31:35.

benefit concert in Manchester, which sees Ariana Grande return

:31:36.:31:37.

to the city less than two weeks after 22 people

:31:38.:31:40.

were killed in a bomb attack. Overnight, the Black Eyed Peas

:31:41.:31:42.

tweeted they've joined the line up which already includes Katy Perry,

:31:43.:31:45.

Justin Beiber, Tickets will go on sale tomorrow

:31:46.:31:46.

at 10am, and the proceeds will be donated to the victims and families

:31:47.:31:51.

of those injured. For those who don't get tickets,

:31:52.:31:53.

it will be shown on BBC One from 6.00pm until 9.00pm

:31:54.:31:56.

on Sunday evening. We will be speaking to the organiser

:31:57.:32:05.

later. Tens of thousands of expat

:32:06.:32:09.

pensioners may return to the UK to use the NHS after Brexit

:32:10.:32:12.

unless a deal can be done to let them keep receiving care abroad,

:32:13.:32:16.

a health charity has warned. The Nuffield Trust estimates

:32:17.:32:18.

the cost of treating them on home soil, rather than abroad,

:32:19.:32:21.

could double to ?1 billion. At the moment, the UK gives around

:32:22.:32:23.

500 million a year to EU countries that care for Brits

:32:24.:32:27.

who have retired overseas. The NHS and Brexit are also top

:32:28.:32:31.

of the agenda for the two main political parties

:32:32.:32:34.

as they continue their campaigns ahead of next

:32:35.:32:36.

week's general election. Labour will focus on schools

:32:37.:32:38.

and hospitals, claiming the Conservatives have

:32:39.:32:40.

neglected public services. But the Tories say a Labour

:32:41.:32:42.

government would threaten the economy by negotiating a bad

:32:43.:32:45.

Brexit deal. Police say a "dangerous" prisoner,

:32:46.:32:49.

believed to be armed with a razor blade, is on the run after escaping

:32:50.:32:52.

officers in Wiltshire. Michel Kisier, who's 30,

:32:53.:32:56.

had been taken to hospital in Salisbury with a head injury

:32:57.:33:00.

before fleeing from guards Police are warning the public

:33:01.:33:02.

not to approach him. A 30-year old man has been arrested

:33:03.:33:09.

on suspicion of murder, after the bodies of a woman and two

:33:10.:33:12.

children were discovered The discovery was made by officers

:33:13.:33:14.

investigating reports of a fuel leak Police say they're not

:33:15.:33:20.

looking for anyone else. Three men arrested after last week's

Manchester bombing have been Detectives are still questioning 11

:33:27.:33:28.

people to try to find out whether the bomber,

Salman Abedi, had help. For the first time, a British police

:33:34.:33:38.

force is to recruit people directly to become detectives without them

having to first work The Metropolitan Police hopes

:33:47.:33:48.

the scheme will fill some of the 600 detective vacancies in the force,

:33:49.:33:54.

and attract people with different skills and backgrounds who might not

otherwise want to join. The US says it's successfully

she has breast cancer again, 25 years after recovering

:34:35.:34:36.

from her original diagnosis. The Grease star has postponed

:34:37.:34:38.

her upcoming tour dates after discovering that the disease

:34:39.:34:40.

has spread to her spine. The singer and actress

is undergoing treatment, and expects to return to the stage

mission for next year, as it aims to get closer to the sun

than ever before. The agency wants to send a space

:34:50.:34:52.

probe into the star's atmosphere to find out more about solar wind,

:34:53.:34:57.

which is a stream of plasma According to a planetary scientist,

:34:58.:35:00.

the probe will get to about 4.3 Which sounds like a lot, but it is

:35:01.:35:21.

not. Don't they call it Icarus? This is why we want you here. Just facts.

:35:22.:35:32.

We want Kat here for the sport. Arsene Wenger based facsimile, 21

:35:33.:35:40.

years at Arsenal and then he has signed another two-year deal. Lots

:35:41.:35:47.

the debate about that in the paper today. Lots of fans on social media

:35:48.:35:52.

saying he should have gone but others saying he is the most

:35:53.:35:56.

successful manager Arsenal have ever had and we should be celebrating he

:35:57.:36:00.

has decided to stay on. If I was Arsene Wenger, I think I would have

:36:01.:36:06.

gone out on a high after the FA Cup. No Champions League football next,

:36:07.:36:09.

can he attract the star names. We will have to see who stays and goes.

:36:10.:36:12.

Sanchez says he fancies moving on. There'll be an official

:36:13.:36:18.

announcement later today. The decision was made

:36:19.:36:21.

after a meeting with club owner Wenger lifted the FA Cup

:36:22.:36:23.

for a record seventh time after beating Chelsea

:36:24.:36:27.

at the weekend. And while Arsenal finished outside

:36:28.:36:28.

the top 20 for the first time in 20 And while Arsenal finished

:36:29.:36:34.

outside the top four years, Wenger and those in charge

:36:35.:36:36.

at Arsenal have There will be an element

:36:37.:36:39.

who will be so angry, you know? They're already

:36:40.:36:43.

showing their feelings. And then there will be as many,

:36:44.:36:46.

if not more, who'll say, do you know what, we won't get

:36:47.:36:49.

a better manager than Arsene Wenger. There isn't a better

:36:50.:36:52.

one than him around There was a promotion party

:36:53.:36:54.

in Huddersfield yesterday as they paraded the Championship

play-off trophy through the town. Thousands of fans gathered

to celebrate reaching the Premier League for

the first time. They beat Reading on penalties

:37:05.:37:07.

at Wembley to secure promotion to the top flight for the first time

in 45 years. World number one Andy Murray

is through to the second round of the French Open

:37:16.:37:17.

after beating Russia's Andrey Murray had struggled for form

:37:18.:37:20.

and fitness in the build up to Roland Garros but managed

:37:21.:37:23.

to overcome the first-round test Next up for Murray is

:37:24.:37:26.

Slovakia's Martin Klizan, I was looking forward

:37:27.:37:30.

to getting going today, but I did need the extra time

:37:31.:37:36.

on the practice court and by getting a Tuesday start,

:37:37.:37:39.

that allowed me to get some good practice in after missing a couple

:37:40.:37:42.

of days at the beginning So I was actually quite happy

:37:43.:37:45.

to wait until Tuesday and obviously But there was a shock

:37:46.:37:51.

for Johanna Konta. The British number one

:37:52.:38:00.

lost to world number 109 The seventh seed took the first set

:38:01.:38:02.

6-1 but the tide turned Defeat yesterday means Konta

still has never won a match Golf legend Jack Nicklaus says that

everyone involved in the game needs to help Tiger Woods who was arrested

of incidents involving the former world number one,

:38:31.:38:37.

who has only played sporadically due He's been great for the game of golf

:38:38.:38:40.

and I think he needs all our help And I wish him well,

:38:41.:38:49.

I hope he gets out of it, He needs a lot of support from a lot

:38:50.:38:55.

of people and I'll be one of them. And the BBC Women's Footballer

:38:56.:39:03.

of the Year 2017 has been awarded to Olympique Lyonnais and Norway

:39:04.:39:08.

striker Ada Hegerberg. But there was a shock in store

:39:09.:39:12.

when she received the award. Her sister Andrine, who plays

:39:13.:39:15.

for Birmingham, turned up to surprise her and present

:39:16.:39:17.

the trophy in France. And, she is in the final of the

:39:18.:39:36.

Champions League tomorrow. It is a massive day for Cardiff tomorrow

:39:37.:39:44.

because the women and the men's are playing there.

:39:45.:39:48.

Around 190,000 British pensioners live abroad in European

:39:49.:39:50.

countries like Spain, and at the moment, they get

:39:51.:39:52.

their health-care paid for as part of an EU-backed scheme.

:39:53.:39:56.

But there's a warning this morning that the NHS would have to find

:39:57.:39:59.

an extra ?500 million to pay for the care of these British expats

:40:00.:40:02.

should they come back to the UK after Brexit.

:40:03.:40:05.

Mark Dayan is one of the authors of that report and he's

:40:06.:40:08.

Thanks for joining us. Explain how the system works at the moment? Some

:40:09.:40:23.

British pensioners who live on the European continent can get health

:40:24.:40:27.

care on the same terms as people who are resident in those European

:40:28.:40:34.

countries under this so-called S1 scheme where the British government

:40:35.:40:37.

pays other countries to take care of them. If we leave the EU, that

:40:38.:40:42.

scheme, unless we do something about it, will come to an end and these

:40:43.:40:45.

pensioners will probably have to come back to the UK and use the NHS

:40:46.:40:51.

if they need to be taken care of. The financial cost could be more

:40:52.:40:56.

than it is to pay to take care of these people in Europe. There is the

:40:57.:41:02.

extra nurses and staff that we need which are already short supply. We

:41:03.:41:07.

don't know whether or not it will come to an end, so how have you put

:41:08.:41:15.

a figure on it. That is estimating how much it will cost the NHS to

:41:16.:41:21.

take care of people of that age group, relative to what we pay now.

:41:22.:41:29.

If we don't sort out medicines licensing on an EU wide basis, the

:41:30.:41:34.

price of medicines could be 100 million and if migration is closed

:41:35.:41:37.

off, we could have to pay more for domestic staff. Whilst there are

:41:38.:41:42.

opportunities with Brexit as well, there are a number of things that

:41:43.:41:47.

need to be carefully looked at. You mention paying for stuff, this is a

:41:48.:41:51.

sector we know it is at the bottom in some ways, which people don't get

:41:52.:41:58.

paid much, will they be paid more? Absolutely, there may be a case for

:41:59.:42:03.

that. All we are saying is, if we leave the EU and cut-off migration,

:42:04.:42:07.

that there may be no alternative. That means more money than any of

:42:08.:42:13.

the political parties have been willing to pay up for the NHS so

:42:14.:42:21.

far. Whoever is in governments, will not look at this specifically, it is

:42:22.:42:26.

that the problem? There is the risk the NHS is not at the centre of

:42:27.:42:31.

negotiations with the EU, it is a public service that serves British

:42:32.:42:34.

people. In the past, negotiations from inside the EU hasn't always

:42:35.:42:40.

necessarily been taken into account. We are keen policymakers do keep it

:42:41.:42:43.

that the centre of their vision when they are thinking about a whole

:42:44.:42:49.

range of things in the Brexit negotiation with the EU. We don't

:42:50.:42:54.

know if it will be part of the negotiations, also how many of those

:42:55.:42:57.

pensioners would choose to come back to the UK for treatment either? I

:42:58.:43:04.

suppose the situation we are concerned about it would be one in

:43:05.:43:09.

which that coverage they have now is withdrawn and unfortunately, even if

:43:10.:43:12.

they prefer to stay, they may have no choice but to return to the UK

:43:13.:43:20.

because they don't necessarily -- can necessarily afford the

:43:21.:43:27.

treatment. That is what we are most concerned about. Thank you for your

:43:28.:43:29.

time. You're watching

:43:30.:43:32.

Breakfast from BBC News. Rehearsals have begun for a benefit

:43:33.:43:41.

concert in Manchester by Ariana Grande, less than two weeks after 22

people were killed. Police warn the public not to approach a prisoner

who have escaped from Salisbury hospital last night.

:43:51.:43:53.

Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

:43:54.:43:59.

Look at that. The Lake District in all its glory, Carol? Is in a

:44:00.:44:11.

gorgeous, it won't be too far off this in the Lake District today.

:44:12.:44:15.

Foremost, it will be largely dry. A few showers in the forecast for the

:44:16.:44:21.

South and fair bit of sunshine particularly in the north. High

:44:22.:44:24.

pressure in charge of our weather and we have a week by the front is

:44:25.:44:28.

sinking salvo that why it is cloudy in southern areas at the moment and

:44:29.:44:33.

it will produce one or two showers. Through the North Midlands, Northern

:44:34.:44:37.

end, beautiful start and temperatures picking up quickly.

:44:38.:44:40.

Beautiful across much of Scotland as well with a lot of sunshine around

:44:41.:44:45.

after a chilly start and the same for Northern Ireland. Beautiful Day

:44:46.:44:50.

for you, staying dry. Across the Irish Sea, there is some sea fog and

:44:51.:44:56.

that might come onto shore. Across northern Wales, a lot of sunshine.

:44:57.:45:00.

Into southern Wales and the south-west and we're looking at more

:45:01.:45:04.

cloud this morning. Drifting across southern counties through Hampshire,

:45:05.:45:08.

into the South Midlands and into Kent and East Anglia, we have a fair

:45:09.:45:12.

bit of cloud around first thing. Through the course of the day the

:45:13.:45:17.

cloud will break up. Not immune from showers from mid Wales heading

:45:18.:45:22.

towards Ken. Most will miss them all together but there will be won or

:45:23.:45:26.

two around. Coastal mist and fog which could come onto shore at

:45:27.:45:33.

times. Top temperatures, 23, 24 in the south-east, 19, 20 into the

:45:34.:45:38.

North. Light winds in the sunshine and it will feel nice. Overnight

:45:39.:45:42.

there will be dry weather, quite a bit of cloud at times so for

:45:43.:45:46.

Scotland, northern England and North Wales it will be as cold as the one

:45:47.:45:50.

just gone. We will have this sea fog lapping onshore because parts of

:45:51.:45:56.

Kent and into the south-eastern corner generally and another weather

:45:57.:46:00.

from waiting. That will be progressing steadily south eastwards

:46:01.:46:02.

through the course of the day. The heaviest rain will be with height

:46:03.:46:09.

and at lower levels it will be drizzle. The winds will start to

:46:10.:46:12.

strengthen. The head of that for England and Wales, a dry day with

:46:13.:46:15.

sunshine and the cloud building ahead of this weather front. 11 to

:46:16.:46:23.

16. In the sunshine we are looking at 20, 25, possibly even 26 but if

:46:24.:46:27.

you are under the sea fog, the temperature will be lower. On Friday

:46:28.:46:31.

we have a weather front producing the rain. It is sinking slowly south

:46:32.:46:38.

eastwards. The head of it, a lot of sunshine, high humidity and there is

:46:39.:46:41.

the potential for thunderstorms coming in across the South East and

:46:42.:46:49.

Kent generally. 23, 25, 26 not without the realms of possibility

:46:50.:46:53.

but behind it, fresh conditions with a few showers. Variable amounts of

:46:54.:46:59.

cloud. On Saturday will lose the weather front. Generally dry with

:47:00.:47:03.

some sunny spells, a few showers coming in from the West but not a

:47:04.:47:07.

lot of us will see them. It will feel fresh. 12 to 17 in the north,

:47:08.:47:16.

but in the South, and more pleasant 21 in London. So not too shabby at

:47:17.:47:24.

all. We are heading for a decent weekend then, Carol? We are, there

:47:25.:47:28.

will be showers around, but we still need a showers, as we are always

:47:29.:47:32.

saying. Thank you very much indeed, Carol.

:47:33.:47:40.

This morning Steph's taken the Breakfast election Butty Van

:47:41.:47:51.

to the coast of Northern Ireland to find out what people

:47:52.:47:53.

there want when it comes to supporting their economy.

:47:54.:48:00.

Steph is planning to have granola for you next week.

:48:01.:48:16.

She is on the beach in Northern Ireland. Good morning. Louise, we

:48:17.:48:26.

have fruit for you. I am feeling the wind, but it is gorgeous here. I am

:48:27.:48:32.

in Portrush, but far into the distance, there are people in the

:48:33.:48:36.

water, they are surfing at the moment. I can see their heads

:48:37.:48:42.

bobbing up and down. This is a beautiful seaside resort in Northern

:48:43.:48:47.

Ireland. About 7000 people live here. It is a place where lots of

:48:48.:48:51.

people will be voting along with the rest of us in the UK next week. We

:48:52.:48:55.

have come to talk to business people and to the locals who do various

:48:56.:49:03.

different jobs in the area about what they want to hear from the

:49:04.:49:05.

politicians in the run-up to the election. We have been taking the

:49:06.:49:11.

Breakfast but he ran across the UK, down to Holyhead yesterday, across

:49:12.:49:15.

the Irish Sea and to hear. We will be looking at what Brexit means to

:49:16.:49:19.

them given they are on the border with Ireland. We have some guests

:49:20.:49:25.

gathered together. Thank you for joining us. Let me start with you,

:49:26.:49:31.

you are an architect, what do you want to hear in the run-up to the

:49:32.:49:36.

election, what will make a difference to you. I want to hear

:49:37.:49:39.

certainty, we don't know anything at the moment so we have to be ready to

:49:40.:49:45.

get on with it. When he is a certainty, do you mean Brexit?

:49:46.:49:51.

Absolutely, there is too much uncertainty, uncertainty in the

:49:52.:49:55.

political world and uncertainty as to what will occur after Brexit and

:49:56.:50:01.

we need more direction. What are the types of things you want to know? I

:50:02.:50:05.

want to know how we will deal with our border? We have a border with

:50:06.:50:13.

Northern Ireland and it is a struggle, folks in Londonderry are

:50:14.:50:17.

concerned about how they go across the border, other folks in Newry are

:50:18.:50:25.

concerned and in Portrush, it is a brilliant location, but we need to

:50:26.:50:29.

know what the rest of the picture is going to be. Anthony, you are in

:50:30.:50:33.

financial services, is it the same for you? Yes, another uncertainty is

:50:34.:50:39.

whether we can get our local elected government at Stormont up and

:50:40.:50:43.

running. I do feel that electioneering doesn't compromise

:50:44.:50:50.

what is needed between the political parties at Stormont, so I feel the

:50:51.:50:57.

election is actually, the general election is putting the breakdown of

:50:58.:51:01.

effective government of the regional level. And that is more important to

:51:02.:51:10.

you? Yes. How is business for you at the moment, how is the financial

:51:11.:51:17.

sector doing here? Not too bad, the markets aren't as skittish as they

:51:18.:51:23.

have been and with the low interest rates available through the banks,

:51:24.:51:27.

people are getting a return on their investments. What is your

:51:28.:51:34.

background? It is around skills? We are focused on the knowledge economy

:51:35.:51:39.

and how we develop that in Northern Ireland. Research is important so we

:51:40.:51:43.

are looking for investment in world-class research, but this is

:51:44.:51:49.

about new technology. It is important our education system is

:51:50.:51:53.

preparing young people for this new, emerging economy. As the guys were

:51:54.:51:58.

saying, skills are important, a lot of people are working in the

:51:59.:52:01.

different sectors from outside of the UK. Certainty around what their

:52:02.:52:06.

position is, being able to stay in Northern Ireland and how we access

:52:07.:52:10.

skills when we need them. There is a lot of young people here, under 25.

:52:11.:52:17.

So you are managing what skills they will have? Yes, and the challenges,

:52:18.:52:22.

we don't know in the next ten years what the jobs will be because the

:52:23.:52:26.

pace of change is so fast. It is about making sure they have those

:52:27.:52:31.

skills around critical thinking, being very agile in problem-solving.

:52:32.:52:36.

As an economist, looking at this region of Northern Ireland, how does

:52:37.:52:40.

it differ to the UK? A lot of the issues we're talking about is what

:52:41.:52:46.

the rest of the UK is talking about? Yes, it has pockets of brilliance

:52:47.:52:53.

from cyber security, media and film, terrific performance, but not enough

:52:54.:52:58.

of that, over all its economic performance would be broadly similar

:52:59.:53:02.

to the Welsh or the north-east economy. Below potential, but within

:53:03.:53:07.

it, pockets of world-class brilliance. What would make a

:53:08.:53:12.

difference? We have structural problems, a private sector that

:53:13.:53:17.

struggles to grow. We rely on money coming in from great Britain to come

:53:18.:53:21.

over to keep public services, which need a lot of transformation and

:53:22.:53:26.

modernisation. We need to make structural choices, but ultimately

:53:27.:53:29.

we need a bigger private sector, they get tax base to pay for the

:53:30.:53:34.

public services we need. We will warm you up as well, because I am

:53:35.:53:38.

impressed you haven't got coats on, some of you. I am ashamed as a

:53:39.:53:43.

northerner, I shouldn't have my coat on. But now, let's get the news,

:53:44.:53:47.

travel and weather where you are. We are going to show you some of the

:53:48.:57:25.

front pages again this morning. Would start with the Daily Express.

:57:26.:57:31.

Thousands are trying to sneak into Britain this summer and their

:57:32.:57:39.

picture is a little girl, Mia Turner, who Prince Harry Met at the

:57:40.:57:45.

Invictus Games and stole Prince Harry's heart. Most of the pictures

:57:46.:57:51.

have Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber as they get set to take part in the

:57:52.:57:56.

benefit concert in Manchester this weekend.

:57:57.:58:07.

The Telegraph, a grand jester -- grand gesture for Manchester. But

:58:08.:58:11.

they are putting on a secret plan from Labour to allow thousands of

:58:12.:58:14.

unskilled migrants to come in after Brexit. It has seen by the Daily

:58:15.:58:19.

Telegraph and the Daily Mail, they have seen leaked documents. And the

:58:20.:58:25.

horrible story about Rosa King killed in the zoo, as to why the

:58:26.:58:30.

Tiger got into the enclosure when she was in it.

:58:31.:58:34.

We will be talking about Jeremy Corbyn on The one Show. Another

:58:35.:58:39.

interview he took place was on women's hour with Emma Barnett. The

:58:40.:58:47.

front page says it feels a new anti-Semitism row. A few people

:58:48.:58:50.

attacking Emma Barnett for interviewing Jeremy Corbyn ace-king

:58:51.:58:54.

about the cost of labour policy he was launching that they and he

:58:55.:59:04.

didn't know the cost. And a poll is predicting a shock Tory loss and a

:59:05.:59:11.

hung parliament. We all take the polls with a large pinch of salt.

:59:12.:59:18.

Jeremy Corbyn was on The one Show last night. Theresa May was on with

:59:19.:59:22.

her husband a few weeks ago. We will be talking about how he did from a

:59:23.:59:27.

supporter and somebody not so supportive.

:59:28.:59:30.

what locals here want we'll bring you sunshine, the sea

back to the polls here, three months after they last voted, election

:01:42.:01:44.

fights here are rather different and rather rough.

:01:45.:01:47.

In sport, two more years for Arsene Wenger.

:01:48.:01:49.

He will extend his 21-year spell as Arsenal manager with an official

:01:50.:01:52.

Good morning, a chilly start but a dry day ahead, for England and

:01:53.:02:12.

Wales, more cloud, and some showers. More details in a little while.

:02:13.:02:15.

Thank you. Rehearsals are under way for a

:02:16.:02:29.

concert which sees Ariana Grande return to Manchester after the bomb

:02:30.:02:36.

attack. Last night, Liam Gallagher played a concert in the city.

:02:37.:02:44.

He has told Manchester that 'normal service has resumed'

:02:45.:02:46.

during an emotional gig in the city last night, which was filled

:02:47.:02:53.

Liam Gallaher, back in Manchester, act on stage, looking back to the

:02:54.:03:01.

events last week. 22 candles lined up in front of the drum kit, one for

:03:02.:03:06.

each person killed in the terrorist attack and it did not take him long

:03:07.:03:12.

to issue a defiant statement. Local -- normal business has resumed!

:03:13.:03:19.

Singing between the songs, the audience spontaneously bursting into

it was noble Gallaher who signed that. Liam did not sing it but the

fans did. Staying behind inside the venue long after the show ended.

:03:59.:04:08.

# Don't look back in anger, I heard you say. Uihlein you can feel the

:04:09.:04:20.

heart of the people, it was so emotional, I've felt this is exactly

:04:21.:04:26.

what Manchester needed. Always this reunion was also -- always highly

unlikely but it surprised many that Noel Gallaher is not on the line-up

said this report is evidence that Theresa May's extreme

:07:25.:07:29.

version of Brexit would be a disaster for the NHS putting huge

:07:30.:07:32.

pressure on hospitals. Labour are yet to comment

:07:33.:07:38.

but had previously accused the Conservatives

:07:39.:07:40.

of starving the NHS. The NHS and Brexit are also top

:07:41.:07:48.

of the agenda for the 2 main political parties

:07:49.:07:53.

as they continue their campaigns ahead of next

:07:54.:07:55.

week's general election. Labour will focus on

:07:56.:07:57.

schools and hospitals, claiming the Conservatives have

:07:58.:07:58.

neglected public services. But the Tories say a Labour

:07:59.:08:02.

government would threaten the economy by negotiating a bad

:08:03.:08:05.

deal when leaving the EU. Let's get more from our political

:08:06.:08:09.

correspondent, Chris Mason. As always, he has the manifesto is

:08:25.:08:30.

like, playing their hit records, the favourite songs, no time for the

gusty old B-sides that no one heard of. Let's talk about the stuff in

their view that they think will tempt and woo voters in their

:08:39.:08:44.

direction. Labour talking about spending on the NHS and schools,

:08:45.:08:49.

suggesting the Conservatives if they want another five-year term would

:08:50.:08:54.

imperil the future of the health service and schools. Labour or proud

of this, the manifesto, fully costed, falling over themselves to

say it was fully costed when Jeremy Corbyn got himself in a tangle

seeing that as Central, the justification that Theresa May used

for calling this general election in the first place. Some awkward

questions for the Conservatives, look through this, their manifesto,

:09:21.:09:24.

for an election called about Brexit, the details about the Brexit plan,

:09:25.:09:30.

pretty thin on the ground. Chris Mason, thank you. We will speak to

you as ever very soon. blade is on the run after escaping

from officers in Wiltshire. The man had been taken

from guards yesterday evening. Police are warning the public not to

9 people were killed in the explosion, which happened

during the city's rush hour. More than 90 people have been

injured. A man has been arrested,

in the Toxteth area of Liverpool. Let's join our reporter

Frankie McCamley, who is at the scene

:10:23.:10:24.

for us this morning. Frankie, what's the latest

Stargazers in Australia and New Zealand have been treated

:11:11.:11:12.

to a spectacular show as the Southern Lights swept

:11:13.:11:14.

The Aurora Australis is caused by solar wind -

:11:15.:11:18.

a stream of charged particles escaping the Sun -

:11:19.:11:20.

interacting with Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere.

:11:21.:11:29.

Whatever the technical side, it looks unbelievable. Absolutely

:11:30.:11:34.

amazing. I've not been lucky enough to see it and either hemisphere just

:11:35.:11:38.

yet but we can live in hope. I have seen the Northern Lights, I think,

:11:39.:11:44.

that's a screensaver to die for, you could just sit and watch that for

:11:45.:11:48.

hours. 11 minutes past seven, good morning.

:11:49.:12:02.

A breast surgeon who "played God" and carried out "completely

:12:03.:12:04.

unnecessary" operations on both men and women will be sentenced later.

:12:05.:12:07.

Ian Paterson was convicted last month of 17 counts of wounding

:12:08.:12:09.

with intent and 3 counts of unlawful wounding.

:12:10.:12:12.

Let's take a look at how the case unfolded.

:12:13.:12:14.

Ian Paterson operated on over 4000 patients on the NHS and many more

:12:15.:12:17.

In 2007, an NHS investigation began into his work.

:12:18.:12:20.

In 2011, he was suspended by the heart of England trust and 642

:12:21.:12:23.

In 2013, an independent report highlighted

:12:24.:12:30.

concerns dating all the way back to 2003.

:12:31.:12:34.

Last month, Ian Paterson was found guilty of numerous counts of

:12:35.:12:37.

We're joined now by Cheryl Iommi who was wrongly

:12:38.:12:43.

from the Association of Breast Surgery.

:12:44.:12:52.

Thank you both for being with us this morning. Cheryl, can we start

:12:53.:12:59.

with you, how did you first meet this man and how did those

:13:00.:13:04.

discussions, I suppose, how did they progress and how do you feel now

:13:05.:13:08.

looking back? I first met him in 2003, I was referred to him for a

:13:09.:13:17.

lump in my right side. I went for surgery, and woke to find he'd

:13:18.:13:24.

operated on both my breasts. It was only meant to be on one side. It

:13:25.:13:29.

should have been on one side and I woke up and I'd been operated on

:13:30.:13:36.

both sides. I was quite disfigured on the left-hand side, later I had

:13:37.:13:42.

to pay for reconstruction to look a little bit better. Which later

:13:43.:13:48.

ruptured. So that was another operation I had to go through. Then

:13:49.:13:55.

in 2010, I still had a lump on my right side so I went back privately,

:13:56.:14:05.

and he said, you know, I will remove it, which, yes, why wouldn't I? I

:14:06.:14:12.

believed that it needed removing. Then, after the surgery, he said me

:14:13.:14:19.

in was on the week, after surgery I went back for a referral, yes, and

:14:20.:14:26.

he said, we are lucky we caught this in time, it was crystallising, and

:14:27.:14:34.

it was showing signs that it was going to turn to cancer. So I left

:14:35.:14:40.

my appointment with a prescription for a cancer drug and it was only

:14:41.:14:48.

for the fact that I don't like taking tablets that I wouldn't take

:14:49.:14:54.

them, but I noticed that I still had a lump on my right side so with this

:14:55.:15:01.

panic now of cancer I went back to my GP and I said, you know, I've got

:15:02.:15:07.

a lump, I want it looking at and he referred me back to the national

:15:08.:15:14.

health to another consultant. I had another mammogram, a scan, they said

:15:15.:15:21.

it was fine, so... Was all the surgery he gave you entirely

:15:22.:15:26.

unnecessary? Yes. How does that make you feel? When I look at what he's

:15:27.:15:30.

done to me and the results of what he's done, I don't feel good about

:15:31.:15:38.

it. And he was telling you these were... In fact, it was scar tissue

:15:39.:15:41.

left over from the botched operation? I went back to the

:15:42.:15:45.

national health twice. Panicking that this lump which was scar

:15:46.:15:51.

tissue, was cancer. I'm not surprised Andrew not alone in this,

:15:52.:15:58.

you? The lawyers say Ian Paterson could have had hundreds if not

:15:59.:16:02.

thousands of other victims, convicted of 17 counts of winding

:16:03.:16:06.

with intent, three counts of unlawful wounding, how was this able

:16:07.:16:12.

to happen? Good morning, and thank you for having me on. The lady you

:16:13.:16:18.

were talking to is so brave, but telling her story, without and the

:16:19.:16:21.

bravery of other members of the public we would not be in a position

:16:22.:16:27.

to make progress and at the Association of breast surgery we

:16:28.:16:30.

would sympathise with the patients. Clearly there were problems and

:16:31.:16:33.

there have been mistakes in the management of this locally but there

:16:34.:16:39.

are two big reports, the Kennedy report and the Harris report,

:16:40.:16:43.

Kennedy dealing with the NHS and Harris with the private sector

:16:44.:16:46.

looking at this in detail, putting things in place to make sure systems

:16:47.:16:51.

are a more robust and hopefully it should not happen again. OK, what

:16:52.:16:56.

about, we are talking about, but could be other people out there who

:16:57.:16:59.

are concerned so what sort of thing should they be doing? What we would

:17:00.:17:04.

like to reassure them at the Association of breast surgery we

:17:05.:17:10.

have 80-90% member of breast surgeons in the UK, we aim to make

:17:11.:17:13.

the standard the highest available in the world and of divisions have

:17:14.:17:18.

any concerns please go back to their clinician, to the multidisciplinary

:17:19.:17:21.

team members, ask the question and picture they get appropriate

:17:22.:17:24.

answers. At the heart of what we do we want to make things as good as we

:17:25.:17:27.

can for patients and I think we do, this is one surgeon acting in

:17:28.:17:31.

isolation which does not reflect the way breast surgery should be carried

:17:32.:17:35.

out in the UK. Cheryl, lots of people have spoken about this god

:17:36.:17:39.

complex they think he had, looking back did you see that, did you think

:17:40.:17:43.

you wanted control over you and others? Yes, I do. He had got

:17:44.:17:53.

himself to this high... He was high up in his world... And he was

:17:54.:17:57.

respected. Yes. I think he thought he could do what he wanted. When you

:17:58.:18:01.

think about the sentencing today, what do you want to see happen? I

:18:02.:18:07.

would like him to have a sentence long enough for him to reflect on

:18:08.:18:11.

what he's done to people. Because we've had this sentence that we have

:18:12.:18:17.

to live with so... Hopefully he will be able to... Just, think about what

:18:18.:18:24.

he's done to us. Thank you so much for coming in and sharing your

:18:25.:18:27.

story. Really good to hear from you. Thank you both. It is 80 minutes

:18:28.:18:32.

past seven, you are watching BBC Breakfast. -- 18 minutes.

:18:33.:18:36.

Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

:18:37.:18:44.

Some of us have sunshine already. Showers developing later, today

:18:45.:18:50.

high-pressure firmly in charge of the weather but we have a weak

:18:51.:18:53.

weather front Gooding South. That will produce showers later, also

:18:54.:19:00.

producing a fair bit of cloud. England and Wales, some high cloud

:19:01.:19:06.

across parts of Scotland and medium level cloud across Northern Ireland

:19:07.:19:10.

but in between, we start with sunshine. Northern England, a fine

:19:11.:19:13.

start, chilly, temperatures picking up quickly. We have cloud across

:19:14.:19:18.

Scotland but it will break and not particularly thick cloud anyway, a

:19:19.:19:24.

fine day, the same for Northern Ireland. Some see fog in the Irish

:19:25.:19:30.

Sea and that will lap onto east of Northern Ireland, south-west

:19:31.:19:33.

Scotland and North West England, possibly North West Wales. North

:19:34.:19:37.

Wales, beautiful start, dry sunny, South, to the rest of Wales in

:19:38.:19:40.

south-west England, back into cloud and that continuing across southern

:19:41.:19:46.

counties, Hampshire, the Midlands, in three Essex and down in the

:19:47.:19:51.

direction of Kent. Can't help but notice the sea floor, some of this

:19:52.:19:56.

could lap on short as we go through the course of the day. Further

:19:57.:20:01.

showers across Wales, the Midlands, down towards Kent but not all of us

:20:02.:20:06.

will see them and in light winds, especially in the sunshine, feeling

:20:07.:20:07.

quite pleasant. In the north, temperatures reaching 20 agrees, in

:20:08.:20:14.

the south, reaching a maximum of 24. This evening and overnight, areas of

:20:15.:20:20.

cloud, not going to be as chilly a start across Scotland, northern

:20:21.:20:24.

England, North Wales and Northern Ireland, see fog, some of that

:20:25.:20:28.

coming inland across the south-east, you will notice a weather front

:20:29.:20:31.

waiting in the wings to introduce Ring. But rain moving across

:20:32.:20:37.

Northern Ireland, western Scotland, the heaviest on the hills and it

:20:38.:20:40.

will be accompanied by a strengthening wind. Kinsey cloud

:20:41.:20:44.

cover building, for England and Wales, fine day ahead, try than

:20:45.:20:49.

today, losing the showers. Also looking at sunshine but don't

:20:50.:20:55.

forget, the chance of see fog lapping onshore, inland penetration,

:20:56.:20:59.

won't be that great. I Tay Bridge as of 26 degrees, something fresher

:21:00.:21:02.

humming in behind this weather front. Heading into Friday, the

:21:03.:21:07.

weather front still very much with us, some rain across southern

:21:08.:21:12.

Scotland, northern England, Wales and into the south-west, ahead of

:21:13.:21:16.

that, it's trite, sunny and warm, sparking showers some of which will

:21:17.:21:19.

be thundery especially in the south-east and East Anglia. Behind

:21:20.:21:25.

that, bright spells sunshine and highs of 18 degrees. Carol, thank

:21:26.:21:28.

you. It's a big week for the Breakfast

:21:29.:21:33.

election Butty Van as it continues to criss-cross the UK before next

:21:34.:21:36.

Thursday's general election. We had bacon sandwiches

:21:37.:21:39.

in Wales yesterday... Naga will be serving them

:21:40.:21:40.

up in Fife on Friday - but this morning Steph has sailed

:21:41.:21:43.

over to Northern Ireland... There she is an good morning. It

:21:44.:21:54.

looks gorgeous. It is absolutely gorgeous. Good morning everyone. I

:21:55.:21:58.

am in Portrush in Northern Ireland, you can see the beautiful harbour

:21:59.:22:01.

but look at this, I've met some of the craziest people ever, in the sea

:22:02.:22:06.

at this time of the morning and I can't even describe how cold it is.

:22:07.:22:11.

There we go, that is the local swimming club and apparently they do

:22:12.:22:16.

this regularly, they come down to this seaside resort and have a dip

:22:17.:22:20.

in the sea. You can see the beautiful beach as well and we are

:22:21.:22:24.

here talking about the election, finding out what people here want to

:22:25.:22:28.

hear from the politicians in the run-up and we have our very own

:22:29.:22:33.

Chris here as well. And we are going to meet some schoolkids in a bed and

:22:34.:22:36.

apparently they do that regularly as well. Good morning. Good morning, I

:22:37.:22:41.

have my bucket and spade to join this lot building sand castles. We

:22:42.:22:46.

are going to do some beach yoga, these children are from an

:22:47.:22:48.

integrated primary school, meaning they have pupils from both

:22:49.:22:52.

nationalist areas and unionist areas. It's got to be said, politics

:22:53.:22:58.

here still divided, elections coming up, except looming large. An issue

:22:59.:23:05.

for the entire economy. One of the big successes has been the film

:23:06.:23:08.

industry, lots of people filming here including the American series

:23:09.:23:13.

game of thrones and I've been trailing politicians as well as the

:23:14.:23:14.

tourists. You'll find dramatic beauty,

:23:15.:23:17.

all along the north coast And it's scenery that makes

:23:18.:23:19.

a spectacular setting. The series Game Of Thrones uses this

:23:20.:23:25.

area as a filming location and some see in its stories of scheming

:23:26.:23:29.

division and conflict, more than a few similarities

:23:30.:23:31.

with politics in Northern Ireland. Here, many vote, along what are

:23:32.:23:37.

sometimes called tribal lines. You were a unionist if you grew up

:23:38.:23:42.

in a unionist family and you were a Republican

:23:43.:23:45.

if you grew up in All you'll hear is,

:23:46.:23:47.

"if you don't vote, some of those And that's coming from both

:23:48.:23:51.

sides of the community. Down through the ages of history

:23:52.:23:54.

and still fought in modern times. Game Of Thrones is a fantasy saga,

:23:55.:24:01.

which tells an epic tale set across continents of a fight

:24:02.:24:04.

for the Iron Throne. The often vicious and violent drama

:24:05.:24:10.

might be worlds away from where so much of it is filmed,

:24:11.:24:12.

but political battles are nothing For politics to work here,

:24:13.:24:15.

people have to share power It's why there's currently no

:24:16.:24:21.

government in Northern Ireland and why this election is proving

:24:22.:24:30.

to be a bitter fight Political deadlock is nothing

:24:31.:24:33.

new on this part of this island, but it is frustrating for those

:24:34.:24:40.

who want to show off what Northern Ireland has to offer,

:24:41.:24:43.

including business owners. They're being asked to vote again

:24:44.:24:47.

at a time when the lack of government at Stormont

:24:48.:24:50.

is preventing decisions I think they should do

:24:51.:24:51.

more for education. They should be doing

:24:52.:24:58.

more for the tourist industry and most of all,

:24:59.:25:00.

they should be trying Yet, years of political progress can

:25:01.:25:02.

be seen with every bus-load The international popularity

:25:03.:25:10.

of Game Of Thrones certainly helps attract them to the caves

:25:11.:25:15.

and castles used as backdrops. But during times when regular

:25:16.:25:21.

violence here was more than just fictional,

:25:22.:25:23.

many wouldn't have come. This is our 12th day now

:25:24.:25:26.

and we just love it, But believe it or not,

:25:27.:25:29.

there's no government No, but that doesn't

:25:30.:25:34.

really surprise me. However, politics is important

:25:35.:25:40.

with challenges like Brexit looming. This is the only part of the UK

:25:41.:25:45.

to share a land border And this Methodist minister,

:25:46.:25:48.

who was a key figure in Northern Ireland's peace process,

:25:49.:25:53.

says stability is needed. Conflict will divide people

:25:54.:25:58.

into camps and people then will go back to voting in their camps

:25:59.:26:02.

and in their tribal traditions. Come on, it's time we moved

:26:03.:26:09.

beyond that, the world has changed, Some feel the fighting

:26:10.:26:12.

between the politicians can be for show, simply because it's

:26:13.:26:17.

good for votes. But it also makes election time

:26:18.:26:19.

a particularly divisive time. Well we've come down to the beach

:26:20.:26:37.

because we had to meet Jim and his friends...

:26:38.:26:40.

CHEERING Do you genuinely do this every

:26:41.:26:44.

morning? There will be at least half a dozen others every morning. Why?

:26:45.:26:49.

It is good for you. It's beautiful as well. I just feel like I should

:26:50.:27:00.

hope you all! Hug a way! Seriously, thanks for coming down. Chris,

:27:01.:27:05.

should we join in? We need you in the water! It's lovely and warm out

:27:06.:27:11.

there, this is the North Coast, it's beautiful. It's beautiful but it's

:27:12.:27:16.

also freezing and it's my birthday today...

:27:17.:27:18.

CHEERING This would be like... Should we?

:27:19.:27:24.

Should we? That's a very dear juris thing to say to people from Portrush

:27:25.:27:28.

because they will throw you are the water as quick as anything! I am

:27:29.:27:33.

going to let you crack on, thank you somewhat for joining us, I can't

:27:34.:27:36.

believe that but what are we doing later on? It could all go wrong!

:27:37.:31:00.

Hello, this is Breakfast with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

:31:01.:31:19.

Let's bring you up today with the main stories. Rehearsals are

:31:20.:31:27.

underway for Ariana Grande's return to Manchester this Sunday. She will

:31:28.:31:31.

play a huge fundraiser to benefit victims and families of last week's

:31:32.:31:35.

bomb attack which killed 22 people in the city. Last night, Liam

:31:36.:31:41.

Gallagher told the crowd in the city that normal service has resumed. He

:31:42.:31:44.

made the comments during an emotional performance in his

:31:45.:31:48.

hometown, where the crowd played tribute to those killed.

:31:49.:32:01.

Stand-up, for the 22, stand-up, for the 22...

:32:02.:32:10.

Overnight, the Black Eyed Peas tweeted they've joined the line up

:32:11.:32:13.

which already includes Katy Perry, Justin Beiber,

:32:14.:32:14.

For those who don't get tickets, it will be shown on BBC One

:32:15.:32:25.

from 6.00pm until 9.00pm on Sunday evening.

:32:26.:32:29.

If you attended last week's concert you can go to this one for free if

:32:30.:32:37.

you register for a free ticket by 4pm today. For everyone else, you

:32:38.:32:42.

have to wait until tomorrow, tickets go on sale at ten o'clock tomorrow.

:32:43.:32:45.

We will be speaking to the organiser later.

:32:46.:32:50.

That must be quite a job. In other news this morning...

:32:51.:32:57.

Three men arrested after last week's Manchester bombing have been

:32:58.:33:00.

Detectives are still questioning 11 people to try to find

:33:01.:33:03.

out whether the bomber, Salman Abedi, had help.

:33:04.:33:05.

Tens of thousands of expat pensioners may return to the UK

:33:06.:33:09.

to use the NHS after Brexit unless a deal can be done to let

:33:10.:33:13.

them keep receiving care abroad, a health charity has warned.

:33:14.:33:15.

The Nuffield Trust estimates the cost of treating them on home

:33:16.:33:19.

soil, rather than abroad, could double to ?1 billion.

:33:20.:33:29.

At the moment, the UK gives around ?500 million a year to EU

:33:30.:33:32.

countries that care for Brits who have retired overseas.

:33:33.:33:37.

The situation we are concerned about is one in which that coverage they

:33:38.:33:44.

have now is withdrawn. Even if they prefer to stay they may have no

:33:45.:33:47.

choice but to return to the cake because they could couldn't

:33:48.:33:55.

necessarily afford the health care. That is the situation we are most

:33:56.:33:57.

concerned about. The NHS and Brexit are also top

:33:58.:33:59.

of the agenda for the two main political parties

:34:00.:34:02.

as they continue their campaigns ahead of next

:34:03.:34:04.

week's general election. Labour will focus on schools

:34:05.:34:06.

and hospitals, claiming the Conservatives have

:34:07.:34:08.

neglected public services. But the Tories say a Labour

:34:09.:34:09.

government would threaten the economy by negotiating a bad

:34:10.:34:11.

Brexit deal. Afghan police say a powerful

:34:12.:34:22.

car bomb has exploded near the German embassy in Kabul

:34:23.:34:24.

during the city's rush hour. Officials say at least

:34:25.:34:31.

43 people were killed in the explosion and more than 300

:34:32.:34:36.

people were wounded. The US says it's successfully

:34:37.:34:42.

tested its defence system against an intercontinental

:34:43.:34:44.

ballistic missile American military intercepted

:34:45.:34:45.

and destroyed a mock warhead fired towards Alaska,

:34:46.:34:49.

from the Marshall Islands The Pentagon said the test

:34:50.:34:50.

was long-planned but it comes amid increased tensions with North

:34:51.:34:54.

Korea. For the first time, a British police

:34:55.:35:01.

force is to recruit people directly to become detectives without them

:35:02.:35:04.

having to first work The Metropolitan Police hopes

:35:05.:35:07.

the scheme will fill some of the 600 detective vacancies in the force,

:35:08.:35:11.

and attract people with different skills and backgrounds who might not

:35:12.:35:14.

otherwise want to join. Olivia Newton-John has revealed

:35:15.:35:18.

she has breast cancer again, 25 years after recovering

:35:19.:35:21.

from her original diagnosis. The Grease star has postponed

:35:22.:35:23.

her upcoming tour dates after discovering that the disease

:35:24.:35:26.

has spread to her spine. The singer and actress

:35:27.:35:29.

is undergoing treatment, and expects to return to the stage

see. Arsene Wenger said he was so affected over the criticism, why

:37:04.:37:06.

would he put himself through it again? He loves it! Maybe he is an

:37:07.:37:12.

eternal optimist. There'll be an official

:37:13.:37:21.

announcement later today. The decision was made

after a meeting with club owner Wenger lifted the FA Cup

for a record seventh time after beating Chelsea

Slovakia's Martin Klizan, I was looking forward

:38:23.:38:26.

to getting going today, but I did need the extra time

:38:27.:38:34.

on the practice court and by getting a Tuesday start,

:38:35.:38:37.

that allowed me to get some good practice in after missing a couple

:38:38.:38:40.

of days at the beginning So I was actually quite happy

:38:41.:38:43.

to wait until Tuesday and obviously But there was a shock

:38:44.:38:47.

for Johanna Konta. The British number one

:38:48.:39:00.

lost to world number 109 The seventh seed took the first set

:39:01.:39:02.

6-1 but the tide turned Defeat yesterday means Konta

still has never won a match Golf legend Jack Nicklaus says that

everyone involved in the game needs to help Tiger Woods who was arrested

of incidents involving the former world number one,

who has only played sporadically due He's been great for the game of golf

:39:42.:39:44.

and I think he needs all our help And I wish him well,

:39:45.:39:51.

I hope he gets out of it, He needs a lot of support from a lot

:39:52.:39:56.

of people and I'll be one of them. And finally, the British

:39:57.:40:03.

and Irish Lions squad have arrived in New Zealand this morning

:40:04.:40:06.

for their tour which takes in 10 matches, three of them Tests

:40:07.:40:09.

over the next few weeks. The Lions were treated

:40:10.:40:11.

to a traditional Maori welcome when they touched down at Auckland

:40:12.:40:14.

airport in the last few hours, captain Sam Warburton

:40:15.:40:16.

was at the centre of the ceremony before the whole squad,

:40:17.:40:19.

led by hooker Ken Owens responded How about that. Quite a few Welsh

:40:20.:40:59.

lads in there. They have all had song sheets and

:41:00.:41:05.

they have had to learn the words to Calon Lan, the traditional hymn sung

:41:06.:41:10.

before all the Welsh Test matches. All in Welsh as well, but they know

:41:11.:41:14.

Scottish anthems, they know something from Ireland and they have

:41:15.:41:19.

an English one somewhere they can whip out. I can imagine them

:41:20.:41:23.

practising on the aeroplane over. It is all about the team building.

:41:24.:41:29.

Page two, everyone, page two. We've heard lots of policies

:41:30.:41:34.

from each of the political parties in the run up to the general

:41:35.:41:36.

election - but what about As part of a series aiming to get

:41:37.:41:39.

to know more about those wanting your vote, 'The One Show'

:41:40.:41:44.

is interviewing each There's just one rule -

:41:45.:41:47.

no policy talk. Last night it was the turn

:41:48.:41:49.

of Labour's Jeremy Corbyn. Does the prospect of Theresa May

:41:50.:42:00.

calling you up, conceding defeat and offering you the keys of Number Ten

:42:01.:42:07.

fill you with fear or unbridled joy? Hope, hope to what we can do and the

:42:08.:42:10.

way we can change things in this country. Some people have said you

:42:11.:42:17.

are more of an activist, what do you say to them? Is there a difference?

:42:18.:42:23.

I have been active in politics, human rights and all things. Did I

:42:24.:42:26.

ever set out in life to become Prime Minister? No, I set out to try and

:42:27.:42:32.

change things and bring about greater justice in our society. He

:42:33.:42:36.

went to a private prep school and grammar school. They said you left

:42:37.:42:48.

the two years in a level? I have got the certificates. I was not

:42:49.:42:53.

academically successful. Was that you kicking back against the system?

:42:54.:43:01.

My mum was a generous lady. I said, these are pretty poor, these

:43:02.:43:06.

results. She looked at me and she said, they probably couldn't read

:43:07.:43:13.

your writing. You have an allotment, why is that so important? There is

:43:14.:43:18.

something magical about growing your own beans, your own potatoes and

:43:19.:43:25.

taking it home and... Growth fruit trees and then turn the fruit trees

:43:26.:43:29.

into jam and I would like to present The one Show with a jar of my jam.

:43:30.:43:34.

Joining us now is Jermain Jackman, former winner of 'The Voice',

:43:35.:43:37.

And from our London newsroom, Anne McElvoy, senior editor

:43:38.:43:44.

Morning, both. I know you describe him as a friend, you have known him

:43:45.:43:55.

for many years, since you are 11. He watched him last night, do you think

:43:56.:43:58.

the audience will see things that perhaps they have never seen before?

:43:59.:44:04.

He is always himself, he came across as relaxed and his normal self, very

:44:05.:44:10.

funny, caring about his allotment and his history with Jamaica and the

:44:11.:44:15.

Caribbean. Just been told about how he was brought up. You get the sense

:44:16.:44:20.

that, just a normal guy, like everyone else, wasn't born with a

:44:21.:44:26.

silver spoon in his mouth, wasn't given a million-dollar loan to start

:44:27.:44:30.

a business, he is just a normal person. How do you think the

:44:31.:44:35.

allotments, the jam and the real Jeremy Corbyn, how did it go down

:44:36.:44:39.

for you and how will it sit with the voters? I thought it was a good

:44:40.:44:43.

performance, he did sound sympathetic. I thought the jam was a

:44:44.:44:49.

masterstroke. You heard it there, the idea there isn't a difference

:44:50.:44:53.

between an activist and being a Prime Minister is simply wrong. If

:44:54.:44:58.

you are looking for someone, someone who has quite far left politics but

:44:59.:45:03.

seems to be a nice bloke, you would be left justifiably, with that

:45:04.:45:13.

impression. There is a big gap between that and then saying you put

:45:14.:45:15.

your trust in Jeremy Corbyn to run the country. It was a soft

:45:16.:45:18.

interview, but he came in a bit of a cropper in a hard interview. A very

:45:19.:45:23.

nice and relaxed man sat on the sofa, what would he really be saying

:45:24.:45:28.

if he got the power is work voters would be focusing in the last week.

:45:29.:45:32.

You are faring too in an interview on woman's hour when he was asked

:45:33.:45:36.

about figures and he wasn't easily able to come up with that number. Do

:45:37.:45:41.

you think it has an impact? The problem with the Labour campaign.

:45:42.:45:45.

It's not to say the Tories haven't had a rough campaign as well, but

:45:46.:45:51.

Labour, the figures are hard to believe and they can't remember

:45:52.:45:56.

them. If they were difficult to accept, but you had people like

:45:57.:46:00.

Jeremy Corbyn, Diane Abbott going out every day making a strong case

:46:01.:46:04.

for why their figures added up at a time everyone knows, whatever their

:46:05.:46:09.

politics, everyone knows money is short and it has to be carefully

:46:10.:46:14.

accounted for. You might have had a bit more faith. But Jeremy Corbyn

:46:15.:46:18.

was struggling to remember that major pledge and the figures on it,

:46:19.:46:24.

was not a particularly good moment. I think the attempt was to upset him

:46:25.:46:29.

by coming across as someone who hasn't changed very much. Has kindly

:46:30.:46:35.

cited his nature, which I have also seen in person, debating with him.

:46:36.:46:40.

But the different question is, do you think Jeremy Corbyn is nicer,

:46:41.:46:45.

more comfortable by new thought he was? Yes. Do you think he is the

:46:46.:46:50.

right person to run the country, can he beat Theresa May combat?

:46:51.:46:55.

Different question altogether. That is an interesting side to the

:46:56.:47:01.

debate? I want all prime ministers to be activist, they need to have

:47:02.:47:05.

that in their body, to have the passion to want to change the world,

:47:06.:47:09.

be a leading force in the world. Jeremy Corbyn has been on the right

:47:10.:47:13.

side of politics, the right side of history. When everyone was calling

:47:14.:47:18.

Nelson Mandela Terrace, Jeremy Corbyn was outside the South African

:47:19.:47:24.

embassy campaigning apartheid. -- a terrorist. I am referring to the

:47:25.:47:29.

interview yesterday on woman's hour. I have so many songs on my album, I

:47:30.:47:34.

don't remember all the lyrics. It doesn't take away from the fact I

:47:35.:47:39.

had written a song and I care about the song. In various interviews, the

:47:40.:47:45.

same people on Prime Minister's Questions and talking policies, do

:47:46.:47:50.

you see the man you know? I see them man I know, the man that cares about

:47:51.:47:54.

the community, and wants to change the world and lead Britain into a

:47:55.:48:02.

fairer society. We're running out of time, but he chose not to go on The

:48:03.:48:05.

one Show with his wife, obviously Theresa May went on with her

:48:06.:48:10.

husband. Do you think it is a wise decision by him? I thing he did very

:48:11.:48:19.

credibly alone. I think if he really wants to be taken seriously as a

:48:20.:48:23.

future leader, people will say, who is it you spend most of your life

:48:24.:48:28.

with. So for the duration, you can't get away with keeping the spouse or

:48:29.:48:34.

partner at home. I think it is part of the job. But last night, I think

:48:35.:48:38.

he had a good enough performance and wasn't thinking, where is the other

:48:39.:48:44.

half. Thank you both very much. Would love to know what you think

:48:45.:48:46.

about that as well. You have not had my jam, have you?

:48:47.:49:01.

Raspberry jam. I need to have it delivered here. I will bring some

:49:02.:49:07.

next week. Carol, have you had some of Louise's raspberry jam? I

:49:08.:49:09.

haven't. It will be a sunny day and cloud

:49:10.:49:21.

around first thing. High pressure dominating the weather. We have this

:49:22.:49:25.

weather front coming southwards and that is what is producing cloud and

:49:26.:49:29.

the odd shower. But in the satellite picture where we have cloud across

:49:30.:49:34.

Northern Ireland and Scotland, Wales and southern England, sea fog and

:49:35.:49:38.

some in the West and parts of the South. At times it will penetrate

:49:39.:49:43.

inland but not terribly far, so that will be damp and it will be pressed

:49:44.:49:54.

the temperature, but for most it will be dry and the cloud we have in

:49:55.:49:57.

the South slowly breaking up which we are not immune to the showers.

:49:58.:49:59.

Northern England, Scotland will see most of the sunshine, and as we go

:50:00.:50:02.

through the day temperatures rising nicely. In Northern Ireland, it is

:50:03.:50:06.

the same. Looking up bright skies, some sunshine but we could see some

:50:07.:50:11.

sea fog onshore to the east of Northern Ireland, south-west

:50:12.:50:13.

Scotland, north-west England and western parts of Wales. Move inland

:50:14.:50:18.

and there are drier conditions with one or two showers across Wales. But

:50:19.:50:23.

they will be the exception, rather than the rule. Cloud will break up

:50:24.:50:28.

across southern counties. But showers through Gloucestershire, the

:50:29.:50:32.

Midlands, down towards Kent and to East Anglia we hang on to more cloud

:50:33.:50:37.

at times. Sea fog in the English Channel. That could move on to the

:50:38.:50:41.

coastline, but it is inland penetration would be very much.

:50:42.:50:48.

Overnight, more cloud across Scotland, northern England, North

:50:49.:50:51.

Wales and Northern Ireland than we had last night. Not as a chilly

:50:52.:50:56.

start tomorrow. Missed an fog in the south East. Then this weather front

:50:57.:51:00.

coming from the West. It will produce grain and as it moves south

:51:01.:51:03.

eastwards tomorrow, the heaviest rain will be in their heels. Lower

:51:04.:51:08.

levels it will be lighter and drizzle around. But the wind will

:51:09.:51:12.

strengthen and the cloud will build immediately ahead of it. For England

:51:13.:51:17.

and Wales, are drier day. We're not expecting showers tomorrow but there

:51:18.:51:20.

will be some sunshine, possibly up to 26 in the South East. Fresher

:51:21.:51:24.

conditions coming behind in the Northwest.

:51:25.:51:43.

Thanks, Carol. See you later. We have some chocolate spread knocking

:51:44.:51:47.

about. It's a busy week for our Butty Van,

:51:48.:51:50.

it was in Wales yesterday, it'll be in Scotland on Friday

:51:51.:51:53.

and this morning it's Steph's on the Northern Irish Coast

:51:54.:51:55.

to find out what people there want when it comes

:51:56.:51:59.

to supporting their local economy. The next generation. Good morning

:52:00.:52:12.

Steph. It is warming up here. I have taken

:52:13.:52:17.

my big coat. Look who I have got with me. Morning. I am loving how

:52:18.:52:29.

keen they are. What are you doing on the beach? We are making maps and I

:52:30.:52:34.

am making a map for all my friends to find my pen. A treasure map,

:52:35.:52:41.

brilliant. You come all the time down here for lessons? We usually go

:52:42.:52:47.

to the library to encourage our reading and we are allowed to bring

:52:48.:52:54.

books home. And we go down to the beach to litter pick, rock pooling

:52:55.:52:59.

and it is just a really good outdoor classroom and we love it. I want to

:53:00.:53:07.

join your school. Mason, you go surfing? At some others go surfing

:53:08.:53:13.

in the sea and we get taught to do surfing and somebody runs it. I want

:53:14.:53:18.

to join your school, do you think I can join your class, John? In my

:53:19.:53:25.

class we do mindfulness and last year my mum did yoga. You have got

:53:26.:53:30.

it all going on. I will leave you to it and will join you later on. See

:53:31.:53:35.

you later. Brilliant, I love them. It is

:53:36.:53:40.

gorgeous here in Portrush. It has about 7000 people living here and

:53:41.:53:45.

that is one of the primary schools. They are following me. We have got

:53:46.:53:50.

some young reporters on the go. We are talking about the election and

:53:51.:53:56.

finding out what is the thoughts of businesspeople and locals in the

:53:57.:53:59.

area in terms of what they want to hear from the politicians in the

:54:00.:54:03.

run-up to the election. We have some guests which we will pick up on the

:54:04.:54:10.

way. Neal is an economist. Give us the contest cost of Northern Ireland

:54:11.:54:14.

compared to the UK? It is a fantastic region, great quality of

:54:15.:54:18.

life, strong economic performance in a number of clusters as in agri-

:54:19.:54:25.

food, engineering, TV. But structural weaknesses have held it

:54:26.:54:30.

back. Its economic performance would be similar to the Welsh and the

:54:31.:54:34.

north-east of England economy. What would make a difference? Certainly

:54:35.:54:40.

the Brexit issues, but we need an ability to grow more businesses. The

:54:41.:54:44.

private sector is strong but too small. We need a good private sector

:54:45.:54:48.

to fund the public services we require. Picking up Joanne hear,

:54:49.:54:56.

feel like I am forming a group. Joanne, your business is about

:54:57.:55:01.

skills? Yes, we focus on the knowledge economy and the growth of

:55:02.:55:05.

that, innovation, research and skills are important. Especially

:55:06.:55:11.

with new technology, very disruptive technologies are coming along. You

:55:12.:55:15.

need new skills. Northern Ireland is the second fastest growing region in

:55:16.:55:19.

the UK so we need the right investment and world-class skills to

:55:20.:55:23.

ensure it continues. We have reached the butty van. Thanks, guys. Tell me

:55:24.:55:29.

about your business and what would make a difference in terms of what

:55:30.:55:33.

you want to hear from the politicians. Armstrong medical is an

:55:34.:55:39.

internationally focused company and free trade conditions are important.

:55:40.:55:44.

It is a lot about exports and things, what would make a

:55:45.:55:48.

difference, are you worried about Brexit? We export to 61 markets

:55:49.:55:55.

around the world. We go to Honduras, Costa Rica, Middle East and

:55:56.:55:59.

Asia-Pacific. The ability to trade freely and not deal with the border

:56:00.:56:04.

issues that may be a result of Brexit, hugely important. We will be

:56:05.:56:10.

talking to you later on. Back to the beach. What is going on here. What

:56:11.:56:16.

is happening now? I am not going into the sea. OK, maybe me in the

:56:17.:56:22.

sea later on. Only if you give me a surfing lesson later on. See you

:56:23.:56:27.

later. I am so looking forward to seeing

:56:28.:56:31.

you go into the sea, Steph. You will love it. Get your wet suit

:56:32.:56:35.

on. Happy birthday. Imagine!

:56:36.:56:42.

It is going to happen whether she likes it or not.

week's election to find out what locals here want

Steph is promising to test herself by taking a dip in that water! Will

:01:33.:01:48.

be putting politicians on the spot about Brexit, the border and the

election here. In sport, two more years

:11:46.:11:46.

Justin Bieber, Coldplay and Katy Perry will join Ariana Grande at a

:11:47.:11:57.

benefit concert following last week's terrorist attack. Our

:11:58.:12:08.

reporter joins us from Old Trafford Cricket ground. 14-year-old Harrison

:12:09.:12:12.

was at the gig last week and is planning to go to Sunday's benefit

:12:13.:12:19.

concert. I know your diet is here and you specifically want to talk to

:12:20.:12:24.

us about it -- your dad is here. You were there when the first concert

:12:25.:12:29.

happened. Tell us a bit about your experience. When the bomb went off,

:12:30.:12:36.

I was still sitting in my seat with my friends because the concert had

:12:37.:12:40.

just finished. Obviously, everyone ran. So the last week has been hard,

:12:41.:12:54.

but it's been so much love shown from everyone worldwide. It's really

:12:55.:13:01.

been a special week. Has that helps? Definitely. There's an outpouring of

:13:02.:13:06.

love from everybody. For example I went to the same Square on the other

:13:07.:13:12.

day and when you see all the flowers and the kindness everyone is

:13:13.:13:16.

showing, it's overwhelming. That's the feeling that is sticking with

:13:17.:13:23.

me. Some people have said it is quite close, maybe even too near.

:13:24.:13:27.

But you feel really confident that you're making the right decision to

:13:28.:13:31.

go to this concert on Sunday, why is that important to you? I think it's

:13:32.:13:36.

a really important concert because it's an act of solidarity. I know

:13:37.:13:40.

how hard it's been for me the last week and I was far from the worst

:13:41.:13:47.

affected. I came out uninjured, all my friends came out fine. It's

:13:48.:13:50.

really important for all those people who weren't as lucky as me.

:13:51.:13:56.

Hopefully it will help everyone, especially those people. Let's talk

:13:57.:14:00.

about the concert because we've got the man in charge with us. I imagine

:14:01.:14:05.

you are one of the most busy people at the moment. Give us an idea of

:14:06.:14:09.

the scale of what you were trying to do and who is coming to the concept.

:14:10.:14:18.

It is a phenomenal task in trying to put it together between... We

:14:19.:14:24.

started the conversation on Friday evening and would have had about

:14:25.:14:29.

eight days to put it together. Ariana Grande very bravely, I think,

:14:30.:14:35.

has decided to stand up and be counted. So I think this phenomenal

:14:36.:14:44.

amount of commitment there, huge task of bringing all the artists

:14:45.:14:48.

together but also bringing all the public service people together.

:14:49.:14:55.

Bringing the services together, everybody is making the effort to

:14:56.:15:00.

ensure we have a phenomenal coming together, and also a safe coming

:15:01.:15:09.

together. That was my question about security. Always an issue at a big

:15:10.:15:12.

event but more so bearing in mind what happened last week. It is. We

:15:13.:15:21.

could not do this without the absolute support of the Chief

:15:22.:15:24.

Constable of Greater Manchester Police and all of his staff. They

:15:25.:15:31.

really are incredibly committed to making this an incredibly safe

:15:32.:15:35.

event. We are doubling the security ordinarily would be employed at a

:15:36.:15:40.

concert of this sort. We are working with family liaison officers in

:15:41.:15:44.

terms of families significantly affected. It is an incredibly

:15:45.:15:50.

coordinated plan. We are asking people not to come with bags to make

:15:51.:16:03.

the searching easier. It has been gone through at the highest level. I

:16:04.:16:09.

want to give people reassurance nothing is left to chance.

:16:10.:16:13.

Absolutely nothing is left to chance in terms of security. What are your

:16:14.:16:19.

plans? We can see things happening right now. I'm sorry, could you

:16:20.:16:27.

repeat that? I can see and hear things happening. Tell us what will

:16:28.:16:37.

be happening. Essentially, you can see ground staff are busy, trying to

:16:38.:16:44.

keep the ground for what is cricket in a couple of weeks as well as the

:16:45.:16:47.

concert. The pitch will be covered with matting to protect the grass.

:16:48.:16:56.

We will do that late Saturday. The stage is already built and the sound

:16:57.:17:00.

and light are not in yet but are coming on Friday. The activities are

:17:01.:17:07.

beginning and these staff are putting some of the matting down

:17:08.:17:11.

immediately in front of the stage. The dressing rooms, the cricketers'

:17:12.:17:17.

dressing rooms, changing rooms, will be dressing rooms for Ariana, Justin

:17:18.:17:25.

Bieber. The place that Michael Vaughan might have been cleaning his

:17:26.:17:29.

boots in the past, his cricket shoes, that is where Ariana Grande

:17:30.:17:35.

will be. It is adapting a space incredibly well. Good luck. Thank

:17:36.:17:41.

you. You have an insight into what is

:17:42.:17:45.

happening on Sunday and you had tickets to see Ariana Grande, who

:17:46.:17:49.

else are you looking forward to seeing? Definitely Katy Perry and

:17:50.:17:54.

Coldplay and Justin Bieber and everyone, basically. It should be a

:17:55.:18:01.

nice night. Thank you for coming in and speaking so eloquently about

:18:02.:18:05.

what happened last week and why you are going to this concert on Sunday.

:18:06.:18:12.

We know the tickets go on sale for other people not at the concert at

:18:13.:18:18.

10am tomorrow. And if you were at the concert last week and want to

:18:19.:18:21.

go, you have to register on the One Love Manchester website before 4pm.

:18:22.:18:25.

Shall we catch up with the weather? If you have an analogy to grass

:18:26.:18:35.

pollen, pollen levels are high across most of England, the

:18:36.:18:42.

exception being the south-west, and also moderate in Northern Ireland

:18:43.:18:46.

and no in Scotland. Mostly dry with sunny spells today with

:18:47.:18:50.

high-pressure in charge, keeping things settled. But we have a

:18:51.:18:55.

weather front. It is moving away but it is producing cloud. Some of that

:18:56.:19:02.

will produce showers. We have sea fog through the English Channel.

:19:03.:19:08.

Some will make progress inland. Medium to high level cloud across

:19:09.:19:11.

Scotland and Northern Ireland will break and we will see sunny spells.

:19:12.:19:17.

Even the cloud in the South will thin and we will see brighter

:19:18.:19:23.

spells. But some showers. Close to the coast of the north-west of

:19:24.:19:27.

England and south-west Scotland we could see sea fog but inland, dry

:19:28.:19:33.

and sunny weather. Temperatures responding nicely across Scotland.

:19:34.:19:37.

In Northern Ireland, bright, sunny spells. The far east coast might see

:19:38.:19:47.

some of that sea fog. In Wales you might see it, and it will be damp if

:19:48.:19:53.

you do but inland, dry with showers. Showers being the exception. The

:19:54.:19:57.

south-west of England, a lot of dry weather. Brightening up in southern

:19:58.:20:02.

counties. Through the Midlands, Gloucestershire, heading to Kent, we

:20:03.:20:08.

are not immune to a shower. And a big area of sea fog in the

:20:09.:20:12.

south-east, some of it coming to the shoreline but inland, its

:20:13.:20:17.

penetration will not be great. Overnight more cloud forming across

:20:18.:20:23.

Scotland, northern England, parts of Wales and Northern Ireland. Not as

:20:24.:20:29.

cold as a result. Some of the sea fog drifting inland and a weather

:20:30.:20:32.

front is waiting in the wings, which will produce rain. Tomorrow the

:20:33.:20:38.

weather front moves south-east slowly. The heaviest rain will be at

:20:39.:20:44.

height. At low levels, it will be more like drizzle in nature. For

:20:45.:20:52.

most of England and Wales it will be dry and bright. In any sunshine,

:20:53.:21:00.

amateurs getting up to 25, maybe 26. Fresh conditions coming in behind

:21:01.:21:05.

the band of rain. It is across southern Scotland and northern

:21:06.:21:11.

England, through Wales and into the south-west and then moves

:21:12.:21:14.

south-east. Ahead of it, sunshine. We could see thunderstorms developed

:21:15.:21:21.

across East Anglia and the south-east. Behind it, sunshine and

:21:22.:21:30.

showers. On Saturday, Sunday, a mixture of sunshine and showers.

:21:31.:21:34.

Thanks. It's an unprecedented move

:21:35.:21:37.

for a British police force - recruiting people to become

:21:38.:21:40.

detectives straightaway without them having to serve

:21:41.:21:43.

as a bobby on the beat first. The Metropolitan Police hopes

:21:44.:21:46.

to fill some 600 vacancies and attract people with different

:21:47.:21:49.

skills and backgrounds. Detective Chief Superintendent

:21:50.:21:51.

Stephen Clayman is from the force. Good morning. How exactly will this

:21:52.:22:10.

work? For the first time we are going to allow people to apply

:22:11.:22:15.

directly to join as a trainee detective constable. There is a

:22:16.:22:20.

tough assessment and selection process but if successful, they will

:22:21.:22:25.

be on course to do focused training on being an investigator, a two-year

:22:26.:22:29.

programme of training and at the end of the two years to become a

:22:30.:22:35.

substantive detective constable. One criticism is that it is policing on

:22:36.:22:41.

the cheap. Not at all. It is offering a dedicated career pathway

:22:42.:22:46.

to those attracted by an investigative career. We did work

:22:47.:22:49.

last year looking at what Londoners would be interested in joining the

:22:50.:22:55.

police service in this way and we found people who would not have

:22:56.:22:59.

considered policing would now consider joining and coming into

:23:00.:23:06.

policing, which is a good thing, particularly in underrepresented

:23:07.:23:09.

communities, females, offering a dedicated career path is a natural

:23:10.:23:12.

thing to do provided training and development is good, which it will

:23:13.:23:18.

be. Have you picked up comments from those who are detectives and

:23:19.:23:24.

officers who think they might have to babysit these people and so busy

:23:25.:23:27.

with their normal job they will not have time to look after

:23:28.:23:30.

inexperienced officersit is a good point. A lot of comment. It tends to

:23:31.:23:36.

polarise views but one thing we have done is listen to concerns of

:23:37.:23:41.

Detective sergeants who want to develop training detective

:23:42.:23:45.

constables. We are recruiting coaches, ex-detectives, returning to

:23:46.:23:51.

support and develop these trainee detectives. And all trainee

:23:52.:23:57.

detectives inside the Met. This is really good news. Reading around

:23:58.:24:05.

this subject, are you taking away from the job a little bit? Saying if

:24:06.:24:10.

you have an inquisitive nature, have a degree, you will automatically be

:24:11.:24:14.

a good detective Tom does that removes some of the skills and care,

:24:15.:24:20.

that natural ability needed by some people who may not have a degree

:24:21.:24:25.

that would make a great detective? The existing pathway to become a

:24:26.:24:30.

detective from police constable will remain. That option will carry on.

:24:31.:24:35.

We are making it degree entry because that is where policing will

:24:36.:24:41.

be next year anyway. This is a narrow opportunity, we are looking

:24:42.:24:47.

for up to 160 next year, a small number compared to overall capacity.

:24:48.:24:52.

We want people to quickly understand the role. It is challenging so

:24:53.:24:57.

having it at that level with the skills and assessment will put them

:24:58.:25:04.

through. Policing is open to everyone but in this process it is

:25:05.:25:08.

degree entry because we are putting them through a rigorous process. We

:25:09.:25:11.

will get the skills through the assessment process we need. Thanks.

:25:12.:25:18.

We will be getting more information on that a little later. Let us know

:25:19.:25:23.

what you think about that. More on the breaking news. A powerful car

:25:24.:25:28.

bomb has exploded in the German Embassy in Kabul. Official saying at

:25:29.:25:35.

least 80 people killed in the explosion. Hundreds more are

:25:36.:25:41.

injured. We can speak to Kabul now. What do you know of what happened?

:25:42.:25:51.

It was utterly disgusting to see a four-year-old, five-year-old boy

:25:52.:25:57.

bleeding in the head. Amazingly calm in his brother's arms, walking out

:25:58.:26:02.

of hospital. I saw a woman screaming, abusing the government.

:26:03.:26:09.

And those behind the attack. It was in general chaotic in Kabul this

:26:10.:26:17.

morning and it still is. We do not know who it is exactly who was

:26:18.:26:21.

behind this, who carried out this massive, powerful car bomb attack in

:26:22.:26:29.

walking distance to the presidential palace killing at least 80 people

:26:30.:26:35.

and injuring up to 400. Thank you very much. We understand that is the

:26:36.:26:40.

latest, 80 people killed. Details coming in all the time.

:26:41.:26:47.

Some disturbing detail coming from our report in Kabul. We will bring

:26:48.:26:52.

you more later in the programme. Right now, we can catch up with the

:26:53.:26:55.

news where you are. Hello, this is Breakfast

:26:56.:30:21.

with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. Breaking news from Afghanistan this

:30:22.:30:38.

morning. Afghan police say a powerful

:30:39.:30:40.

car bomb has exploded near the German embassy in Kabul

:30:41.:30:43.

during the city's rush hour. Officials say at least

:30:44.:30:45.

80 people were killed in the explosion and more than 300

:30:46.:30:47.

people were wounded. It is thought to be the biggest

:30:48.:30:57.

attack in Afghanistan in several months and it is still unclear who

:30:58.:31:01.

carried out the bombing. The huge expression happened during morning

:31:02.:31:07.

rush hour. We understand it has damaged the French embassy. There

:31:08.:31:10.

was a lot of description coming out at the moment. Clouds of smoke have

:31:11.:31:14.

been seen spiralling of Kabul. Houses hundreds of metres away from

:31:15.:31:21.

the blast were affected, with windows shattered and doors blown

:31:22.:31:25.

off their hinges. But the Taliban and Islamic State have been behind

:31:26.:31:26.

recent attacks. The bomb went off in the morning.

:31:27.:31:43.

Ambulances are carrying the wounded away from the scene. The site has

:31:44.:31:50.

been cordoned off. Various eyewitness accounts are coming in.

:31:51.:31:55.

We were speaking to our report on the ground a few moments ago, and he

:31:56.:31:58.

was talking about some of the victims. Hundreds have been injured.

:31:59.:32:04.

We understand 80 have been killed and 320 injured. BBC News will keep

:32:05.:32:10.

you up-to-date with more details throughout the day. Thousands of

:32:11.:32:22.

pensioners may return to the UK to use the NHS after Brexit unless a

:32:23.:32:28.

deal can be done to let them keep receiving care abroad.

:32:29.:32:29.

The Nuffield Trust estimates that the cost of treating them on home

:32:30.:32:32.

soil rather than abroad could double to ?1 billion.

:32:33.:32:34.

At the moment, the UK gives around 500 million a year to EU

:32:35.:32:37.

countries that care for Brits who have retired overseas.

:32:38.:32:41.

The NHS and Brexit are also top of the agenda for the two

:32:42.:32:44.

main political parties as they continue their

:32:45.:32:46.

campaigns ahead of next week's general election.

:32:47.:32:48.

Labour will focus on schools and hospitals,

:32:49.:32:49.

claiming the Conservatives have neglected public services.

:32:50.:32:57.

But the Tories say a Labour government would threaten

:32:58.:32:59.

the economy by negotiating a bad deal when leaving the EU.

:33:00.:33:02.

Let's get more from our political correspondent, Chris Mason.

:33:03.:33:09.

So just over a week to go. What are the key messages today? It is all

:33:10.:33:18.

about key messages now. This isn't about sparking new policies we have

:33:19.:33:21.

not heard about before. Instead, it is the party is playing their

:33:22.:33:27.

favourite songs, what they see as their greatest hits, what they hope

:33:28.:33:30.

can woo voters in their direction in the last week of campaigning. Labour

:33:31.:33:35.

are talking about investment in core public services like schools and

:33:36.:33:38.

hospitals and their belief that another five years of the

:33:39.:33:41.

Conservatives would be bad for those services. Labour are proud of their

:33:42.:33:49.

manifesto. They talked repeatedly about how it is fully costed.

:33:50.:33:53.

Yesterday, Jeremy Corbyn got himself in a swimming pool's worth of pickle

:33:54.:33:57.

when he was asked on Woman's Hour on radio for about a particular figure,

:33:58.:34:01.

how much a policy he was talking about what cost. And he didn't have

:34:02.:34:06.

the faintest idea. Labour said the reason for that is because there are

:34:07.:34:09.

so many numbers in this document because they have done their sums.

:34:10.:34:13.

As for the Conservatives in terms of their greatest hits, they want to

:34:14.:34:17.

talk about Brexit. This was what Theresa May said was the

:34:18.:34:20.

justification for this election, after all, when she called it back

:34:21.:34:24.

in April. The striking thing is that when you look at this, the

:34:25.:34:29.

Conservative manifesto, there is plenty in there, but not a lot about

:34:30.:34:33.

Brexit. That is the topic that will dominate politics after the

:34:34.:34:40.

election, whoever wins. And we will talk to you about it before then,

:34:41.:34:41.

after them, all the time. Rehearsals are under way

:34:42.:34:45.

for Ariana Grande's return The American star will play a huge

:34:46.:34:47.

fundraiser to benefit victims and families of last week's bomb

:34:48.:34:51.

attack, which killed Last night, in a show of defiance,

:34:52.:34:53.

Liam Gallagher told a crowd in the city that "normal

:34:54.:34:57.

service has resumed". He made the comments

:34:58.:34:59.

during an emotional performance in his hometown, where the crowd

:35:00.:35:01.

paid tribute to those killed. The singer donated all the proceeds

:35:02.:35:24.

of last night's concert to victims and families. A few moments ago, the

:35:25.:35:32.

organiser of the tribute concert told us that discussion only began

:35:33.:35:35.

on Friday and that security will be double the usual levels. We couldn't

:35:36.:35:39.

do this without the absolute support of the Chief Constable of Greater

:35:40.:35:42.

Manchester Police and all of his staff. And they really are

:35:43.:35:49.

incredibly committed to making this a safe event. We are doubling the

:35:50.:35:53.

amount of security that would ordinarily be employed at a concert

:35:54.:35:58.

of this sort. We are working with the family liaison officers in terms

:35:59.:36:01.

of the families that have been most significantly affected. It is an

:36:02.:36:08.

incredibly coordinated plan. We are asking people not to come with bags,

:36:09.:36:13.

so that makes the security searching easier. Every detail is being gone

:36:14.:36:23.

through at the highest level. I want to give people some degree of

:36:24.:36:26.

reassurance that nothing is being left to chance. Not even a blade of

:36:27.:36:29.

grass, he told us. Some more details about the concert

:36:30.:36:33.

that we have so far. The confirmed line-up

:36:34.:36:37.

is the Black Eyed Peas, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber,

:36:38.:36:39.

Coldplay, Take That at the Emirates Old Trafford Cricket

:36:40.:36:40.

ground this Sunday, June 4th. We were talking to Harrison, a

:36:41.:36:55.

14-year-old who was at last week's concert. He has done this.

:36:56.:36:57.

If you attended last week's concert, you can register for a free

:36:58.:37:00.

ticket by 4 o'clock today, at the One Love Manchester website.

:37:01.:37:03.

For everyone else that wants to buy one, they go on sale tomorrow at 10

Police say a "dangerous" prisoner, believed to be armed with a razor

:37:08.:37:19.

blade, is on the run after escaping officers in Wiltshire.

:37:20.:37:22.

Michel Kisier, who's 30, had been taken to hospital

:37:23.:37:24.

in Salisbury with a head injury before fleeing

:37:25.:37:26.

Police are warning the public not to approach him.

:37:27.:37:33.

A man has been arrested after the bodies of a woman and two

:37:34.:37:36.

children were discovered in a flat in the Toxteth area of Liverpool.

:37:37.:37:39.

Let's join our reporter Frankie McCamley,

:37:40.:37:42.

who is at the scene for us this morning.

:37:43.:37:44.

Frankie, what's the latest you can tell us?

:37:45.:37:53.

We believe emergency services were called to this street at around 7.30

:37:54.:38:00.

left back to reports of a gas leak. When they got here, they evacuated

:38:01.:38:04.

the whole street and asked people to leave their homes. Then people on

:38:05.:38:07.

nearby streets were told to stay indoors. When they arrived at one of

:38:08.:38:12.

the flats behind me, they found a woman and two children dead. They

:38:13.:38:15.

arrested a 30-year-old man on suspicion of murder. Soon after

:38:16.:38:22.

that, he was taken to hospital. I have spoken to local people who say

:38:23.:38:28.

this is a quiet street. They are alarmed to hear this. One woman said

:38:29.:38:31.

she heard screams yesterday evening. Police have said they are not

:38:32.:38:36.

looking for anybody else in relation to this incident and believe it is

:38:37.:38:37.

domestic related. CCTV cameras have captured

:38:38.:38:41.

the moment an underground water pipe exploded in the Ukrainian

:38:42.:38:44.

capital of Kiev. The eruption sent dirt

:38:45.:38:52.

and rocks flying, and a torrent of muddy water

:38:53.:38:58.

down the street. Cars were damaged and

:38:59.:39:02.

windows broken, but no It's not clear what caused

:39:03.:39:03.

the pipe to explode. Can we see it again? Normal road.

:39:04.:39:22.

Look at that. Just cars and windows damaged. Thankfully, nobody was

:39:23.:39:29.

hurt. There was somebody walking close to it as well. No one has been

:39:30.:39:34.

injured. Then this guy thinks out and, wow! What happened to my

:39:35.:39:38.

street? And coming up here

:39:39.:39:40.

on Breakfast this morning... The Breakfast Election Butty Van

:39:41.:39:44.

is on the road again. This time, Steph's

:39:45.:39:47.

in Northern Ireland, looking at the impact Brexit

:39:48.:39:51.

could have on voters. She's a double Olympic gold-winning

:39:52.:39:53.

cyclist - now Joanna Rowsell Shand wants

:39:54.:39:55.

to encourage people to get on their bikes

:39:56.:39:57.

and ride in city centres. She'll be right here

:39:58.:40:00.

on the sofa to explain why. Just eating dinner. You have your

:40:01.:40:10.

dinner, I will call back. They made their names

:40:11.:40:14.

in the X-rated teen comedy The Inbetweeners -

:40:15.:40:16.

now Joe Thomas and James Buckley have been reunited in the unlikely

:40:17.:40:18.

setting of They'll tell us about their

:40:19.:40:20.

new sitcom, White Gold. And Steph is going in the sea at

:40:21.:40:38.

Portrush. She promised. Hold on, news coming in. Steph is already in

:40:39.:40:48.

a wet suit! She is going to love it. She is more keen than she makes out.

:40:49.:40:56.

News just on Arsene Wenger is that he has signed that two-year deal to

:40:57.:41:03.

stick around at Arsenal. Has he always looked that perturbed? I

:41:04.:41:13.

would say that is determined. Either way, some people say, why has he

:41:14.:41:15.

decided to stick around after the treatment he has had from a

:41:16.:41:20.

contingent of Arsenal fans? Others say it is brilliant and that he can

:41:21.:41:24.

go on and win more league and cup titles over the next couple of years

:41:25.:41:25.

and maybe even beyond. There'll be an official

:41:26.:41:31.

announcement later today. The decision was made

:41:32.:41:32.

after a meeting with club owner Wenger lifted the FA Cup

:41:33.:41:35.

for a record seventh time after beating Chelsea at the weekend

:41:36.:41:38.

and while Arsenal finished outside the top four

:41:39.:41:41.

for the first time in 20 years, Wenger and those in charge at

:41:42.:41:43.

Arsenal have agreed he'll stay on. There will be an element who will be

:41:44.:41:55.

so angry. You know, they are already showing their feelings. And then

:41:56.:41:59.

there will be as many if not more who will say, you know what? You

:42:00.:42:03.

won't get a better manager than Arsene Wenger. There isn't a better

:42:04.:42:06.

one than him around at the moment that is available.

:42:07.:42:11.

There was a promotion party in Huddersfield yesterday

:42:12.:42:13.

as they paraded the Championship play-off trophy through the town.

:42:14.:42:15.

Thousands of fans gathered to celebrate reaching

:42:16.:42:17.

the Premier League for the first time.

:42:18.:42:19.

They beat Reading on penalties at Wembley to secure promotion

:42:20.:42:21.

to the top flight for the first time in 45 years.

:42:22.:42:26.

World number one Andy Murray is through to the second

:42:27.:42:29.

round of the French Open after beating Russia's Andrey

:42:30.:42:31.

Murray had struggled for form and fitness in the build up

:42:32.:42:36.

to Roland Garros, but managed to overcome the first-round test

:42:37.:42:38.

Next up for Murray is Slovakia's Martin Klizan,

:42:39.:42:42.

But there was a shock for Johanna Konta -

:42:43.:42:49.

the British number one lost to world number 109 Hsieh Su-Weh

:42:50.:42:52.

The seventh seed took the first set 6-1, but the tide turned

:42:53.:42:56.

Defeat yesterday means Konta still has never won a match

:42:57.:43:00.

Golf legend Jack Nicklaus says that everyone involved in the game needs

:43:01.:43:11.

to help Tiger Woods, who was arrested on a

:43:12.:43:15.

charge of driving under the influence on Monday.

:43:16.:43:17.

According to a police report, Woods, winner of 14 majors,

:43:18.:43:19.

was asleep at the wheel of his Mercedes on a Florida road

:43:20.:43:22.

Woods has said it was due to a reaction to prescription drugs.

:43:23.:43:26.

The former world number one has only played sporadically due to injury

:43:27.:43:29.

I feel bad for tiger. Tiger is a friend. He has been great for the

:43:30.:43:45.

game of golf. He needs all our help and we wish him well. He is

:43:46.:43:51.

struggling. I wish him well. I hope he plays golf again. He need support

:43:52.:43:57.

from a lot of people, and I will be one of them. We have been enjoying

:43:58.:44:02.

the singing, haven't we? And finally - the British

:44:03.:44:04.

and Irish Lions squad have arrived in New Zealand this morning

:44:05.:44:07.

for their tour, which takes in 10 matches, three of them Tests

:44:08.:44:10.

over the next few weeks. The Lions

:44:11.:44:12.

were treated to a traditional Maori welcome when they touched down

:44:13.:44:14.

at Auckland Airport in the last few led by hooker Ken Owens, responded

:44:15.:44:17.

with the Welsh hymn Calon Lan. They are not exactly a male choir.

:44:18.:44:54.

There were not bad. Did they all have some sheets? They have. As part

:44:55.:44:58.

of their team bonding, they have been given song sheets for Welsh,

:44:59.:45:03.

Irish, Scottish and English hymns. So over the course of the tour, we

:45:04.:45:07.

will hear them singing other songs. They have been practising. That is

:45:08.:45:13.

wonderful. The Welsh guys obviously knew that one. It is sung at all the

:45:14.:45:18.

Welsh tests. But for the English, Irish and Scots to learn all of

:45:19.:45:20.

those Welsh lyrics is impressive. She was part of the Olympic

:45:21.:45:28.

velodrome dream team, winning gold in London 2012

:45:29.:45:34.

and again at Rio in 2016. Now aged 28, cyclist

:45:35.:45:36.

Joanna Rowsell-Shand has retired from the sport

:45:37.:45:42.

and is looking forward She's just been offered a place

:45:43.:45:44.

to study physiology at university. But that doesn't mean she's given up

:45:45.:45:48.

the bike altogether. Joanna is supporting

:45:49.:45:50.

a campaign to encourage We'll chat to her in a moment,

:45:51.:45:51.

but first, let's take a look They are coming up to the line! The

:45:52.:46:13.

final 250 metres, rate Britain are the world champions, and they will

:46:14.:46:17.

become the Olympic champions. They are on fire. Great Britain win the

:46:18.:46:25.

Olympic title. They are the Olympic champions.

:46:26.:46:32.

With two laps to go, Great Britain heading for the gold medal, 2.7

:46:33.:46:40.

seconds is the advantage. The final lap of the Olympic final and it is

:46:41.:46:44.

going to be a ride to glory for Great Britain. Into the finishing

:46:45.:46:51.

straight, and up towards the lion! It is gold for Great Britain!

:46:52.:46:53.

Smashed the world record. Happy days!

:46:54.:47:04.

When you look back and we could have played hours of your highlights, do

:47:05.:47:08.

you think you might have retired before your time? I made the right

:47:09.:47:13.

decision. I always wanted to retire on a high, and being in my 30s,

:47:14.:47:20.

Tokyo, I thought that would be a step too far. I will never know the

:47:21.:47:24.

answer, but I know my body better than anybody else, I know the

:47:25.:47:28.

warning signs, and I am happy with my decision. You can ask me again

:47:29.:47:34.

when Tokyo comes around, but for now I am treasuring those memories.

:47:35.:47:39.

Recently I moved house, going through my boxes of memorabilia, a

:47:40.:47:44.

special memories, I will treasure them forever, but I think I am done

:47:45.:47:49.

with pushing myself to those limits. But I am not getting off my bike. I

:47:50.:47:54.

thought I might want a break, but I have enjoyed riding my bike for fun,

:47:55.:48:00.

to get places, whereas before it was my job, I have to train, but now I

:48:01.:48:05.

can cycle where ever I want, whenever I want, and I have enjoyed

:48:06.:48:11.

doing it for fun. Tell others about the citywide programme. Cycling is

:48:12.:48:18.

so popular now, how can people get involved? It is a programme by

:48:19.:48:23.

British cycling, there are 13 events in cities around the UK this summer.

:48:24.:48:30.

They come to a city, they will shut down the roads in the city centre

:48:31.:48:36.

and set them up. List, traffic free, just bikes, families, children, men,

:48:37.:48:40.

women, anybody can go along, you sign up by the website, you just

:48:41.:48:45.

enjoy riding your bike in that environment. The first one is next

:48:46.:48:51.

weekend in Birmingham, but there is one pretty much every weekend in the

:48:52.:48:57.

summer. What is it inspired by? It is about getting more people on

:48:58.:49:01.

bikes, they would love to see 2 million more people on bikes by

:49:02.:49:05.

2020, and it is a nice way to make cycling accessible. It shows how a

:49:06.:49:11.

city can be when cycling takes more of a priority over motor traffic.

:49:12.:49:14.

Would like to share the roads better. We cycle on the roads, I

:49:15.:49:23.

sometimes find it quite scary. You want to get along to the

:49:24.:49:27.

citywide! What is the answer? In London, there

:49:28.:49:33.

is something quite serious going on between cyclists and some car

:49:34.:49:40.

drivers. What can we do? We need more education about sharing the

:49:41.:49:45.

roads. I see people talking about cyclists against motorists, but I am

:49:46.:49:51.

both, so I do not see it that way. If everybody could share the road

:49:52.:49:57.

together... Far more prioritisation of cycling lanes is important. You

:49:58.:50:01.

can look at the models of places like Belgium and Holland, how that

:50:02.:50:06.

works. We know the benefits that can come from cycling, it reduces

:50:07.:50:11.

congestion and pollution and we get fitter, but people find they face

:50:12.:50:16.

barriers. British cycling are working with authorities to

:50:17.:50:19.

prioritise the cycling infrastructure. But education and

:50:20.:50:25.

awareness will be the biggest thing, we are all road users, we have to

:50:26.:50:31.

share the road together. Whenever we got to a major tournament, Tom and

:50:32.:50:39.

love games or Olympics, there was a guaranteed medal for the likes of

:50:40.:50:45.

yourself and Chris Hoy, but now we have lost you and Bradley Wiggins

:50:46.:50:50.

and Laura Kenny is taking a back-seat... That is not the right

:50:51.:50:53.

thing to say, but she is having a family with Jason Kenny. Is there

:50:54.:50:57.

enough quality coming through to maintain that medal rush?

:50:58.:51:04.

Definitely. On the gills' side there is a squad of about eight aged

:51:05.:51:09.

between 18 and 20 who asked nothing at the heels of the senior riders

:51:10.:51:15.

for Tokyo. There is a lot of strength in depth, especially on the

:51:16.:51:19.

Gilles' side, a huge increase in the standard. I look at the 18-year-olds

:51:20.:51:24.

now, they are a lot better than I was at that age. It is an exciting

:51:25.:51:31.

time. We are very good at privatising the Olympic Games, so

:51:32.:51:35.

you get a lull in performance, then it comes up in the Olympic year. I

:51:36.:51:40.

am keeping the Faith, there is a lot more success to come. You are going

:51:41.:51:44.

to do one stage of the Tour de France as well. I am doing that in

:51:45.:51:50.

July. I have never ridden that far in my life, in the Alps as well. You

:51:51.:51:56.

are more used to short bursts. Exactly. The City Ride programme

:51:57.:52:03.

starts on the 11th of June in Birmingham.

:52:04.:52:11.

This is a library picture! The temperatures are widely in double

:52:12.:52:21.

figures at the moment. Across southern areas, a lovely

:52:22.:52:36.

picture from Hertfordshire, showing cloud. As we move north, clear skies

:52:37.:52:43.

across South Yorkshire. Today it will be mostly dry, there will be

:52:44.:52:47.

sunny spells and one or two showers, but they will be the exception. We

:52:48.:52:53.

have medium to high cloud across Scotland and Northern Ireland, some

:52:54.:52:56.

sea fog in areas close to the Irish Sea and the English channel, and

:52:57.:53:00.

more clout. In England and South Wales. The sunny sky will be for

:53:01.:53:06.

North Wales, northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, but

:53:07.:53:11.

we are prone to the sea flog -- the sea fog lapping at the shore. A lot

:53:12.:53:21.

of sunshine inland, including across Scotland. Fairweather cloud here and

:53:22.:53:25.

there are times. For Northern Ireland, bright skies or sunny

:53:26.:53:29.

skies, but if you are stuck under any sea fog, it will depress the

:53:30.:53:34.

temperature. North-west England and parts of Wales could see more sea

:53:35.:53:38.

fog. It will mostly stay out to sea. One or two showers for Wales.

:53:39.:53:43.

South-west England brightens up nicely. There will be some heavies

:53:44.:53:53.

of cloud. There is the chance he could see the odd shower, but they

:53:54.:54:00.

will be the exception. The sea fog across the Southeast might slap

:54:01.:54:04.

across the shoreline as we go through the course of today, but you

:54:05.:54:08.

are more likely to see it this evening and overnight. There will

:54:09.:54:13.

also be more clout across North Wales, northern England, Scotland

:54:14.:54:18.

and Northern Ireland, so it will not be as cold tomorrow. We have a

:54:19.:54:23.

weather front waiting in the wings, which will introduce rain. It is not

:54:24.:54:29.

moving particularly quickly. The wind will strengthen, and the

:54:30.:54:36.

heaviest rain will be in the hills. Ahead of it, for the bulk of England

:54:37.:54:41.

and Wales, it stays dry, variable cloud, sunny sky. If you stuck under

:54:42.:54:46.

the sea fog, the temperatures will be much lower. Behind the rain, a

:54:47.:54:51.

mixture of bright spells, sunshine and showers, but something a bit

:54:52.:54:53.

fresher. I think that might have been Banba

:54:54.:55:01.

Castle! I am relying on social media! Could be horribly wrong!

:55:02.:55:05.

The Breakfast butty van is touring the nations of the UK this week.

:55:06.:55:12.

We were in Wales yesterday, Naga will be in Scotland on Friday,

:55:13.:55:16.

but this morning we're in Northern Ireland.

:55:17.:55:17.

Steph is in Portrush with our Ireland Correspondent Chris Buckler,

:55:18.:55:21.

looking at the issues affecting voters there.

:55:22.:55:27.

Get your wet suit out! I am not revealing anything yet! Let

:55:28.:55:38.

me explain, we have serious work to do before we see any of that

:55:39.:55:43.

shenanigans. It is gorgeous here, you can see the surfers who have

:55:44.:55:47.

been out since the crack of dawn. We had some children from the local

:55:48.:55:51.

school, having some lessons on the beach. They do that regularly. They

:55:52.:55:59.

have yoga, surfing lessons, mindfulness, a beautiful town, 7000

:56:00.:56:04.

people live here. We have brought our fan here, we have talked to

:56:05.:56:07.

businesses about how they feel about the election. A lot of them are

:56:08.:56:13.

worried about Brexit and skills. One of the common things we talk about

:56:14.:56:19.

across the UK. Chris will be talking to some politicians are.

:56:20.:56:24.

What a treat it is going to be for her birthday to go into the cold

:56:25.:56:27.

waters of the North Coast. But first, a treat for you, and Northern

:56:28.:56:36.

Ireland's politicians. It is turning into a Brexit election. The Sinn

:56:37.:56:45.

Fein representative has chosen to stay in Belfast. You don't take your

:56:46.:56:52.

seats in the UK Parliament because you are at stage nest, but does that

:56:53.:56:57.

mean you are really going to be able to affect what Brexit means?

:56:58.:57:08.

Can you hear me? We will try again. I was going to say about Brexit, you

:57:09.:57:19.

don't take your seat in the UK Parliament, do you feel that you can

:57:20.:57:25.

make a difference to how Brexit will affect Northern Ireland? Absolutely,

:57:26.:57:30.

I apologise for not being with you, it sounds like a beautiful morning.

:57:31.:57:38.

I see the tide of equality coming in, the election is about Brexit,

:57:39.:57:44.

but also about the respect agenda, the equality agenda and the momentum

:57:45.:57:49.

for change. Much of it has been sparked by Brexit, because Brexit

:57:50.:57:52.

will do untold damage to the economy, society, community across

:57:53.:57:58.

the island, and we have been at the vanguard of the push against Brexit.

:57:59.:58:04.

I have been to Brussels twice, I have addressed the 27 other

:58:05.:58:08.

ministers for Europe in Brussels, to tell them that we wish to remain in

:58:09.:58:13.

Europe. We need a special designated status within the EU, which would

:58:14.:58:19.

mean we have an advantageous status, we would be able to trade with the

:58:20.:58:24.

rest of the EU and with Britain. We have got support for that stanza

:58:25.:58:32.

from the Irish Parliament in Dublin, and from the European Parliament,

:58:33.:58:35.

and the campaign continues at pace, to make sure the Brexiteers do not

:58:36.:58:45.

win. People keep on talking about this special status, but what does

:58:46.:58:52.

that actually mean? We do not need special status. We need a proper

:58:53.:58:56.

agreement on Brexit, but what we do not want is any form of hard border

:58:57.:59:01.

between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, and no hard

:59:02.:59:05.

border across these islands. We do not need borders. The British

:59:06.:59:11.

Government does not want hard borders, the Irish Government does

:59:12.:59:16.

not, the EU does not, so we do not need to have them. Let's get an

:59:17.:59:21.

agreement and let's get moving. You probably feel differently, do you

:59:22.:59:30.

see anyway of as having a hard border? Reason I cannot answer it,

:59:31.:59:38.

the former deputy -- the former First Minister and Deputy First

:59:39.:59:40.

Minister cannot answer it. They can be no hard borders, we will continue

:59:41.:59:45.

to stand against it. The majority of people here voted to remain in

:59:46.:59:51.

Europe, a border would be disastrous, especially our business

:59:52.:59:59.

and economy. The Alliance party is effectively in opposition at

:00:00.:00:02.

Stormont, or should be, but there is no Government here, so is there any

:00:03.:00:07.

way of influencing what happens elsewhere? Regardless of how people

:00:08.:00:15.

voted in the referendum, the 18 MPs from Northern Ireland will have to

:00:16.:00:18.

come together and find common ground and use it to influence the British

:00:19.:00:21.

Government in what will be a special deal for Northern Ireland. We have

:00:22.:00:27.

particular circumstances around our peace and reconciliation process and

:00:28.:00:31.

our border with Ireland. There are too many issues at stake for the

:00:32.:00:35.

politicians to keep harking back to the politics of the past. We have to

:00:36.:00:36.

work together. The DUP came out as the biggest

:00:37.:00:47.

party in the last election, which was only three months ago. We are

:00:48.:00:51.

back to the polls again. I am sure you are thrilled about that. But at

:00:52.:00:57.

the same time, how do you feel about the special status?

:00:58.:01:01.

First of all here at Porthmadog, we are actually going to hear a lot of

:01:02.:01:08.

pot tragic, because all I get is the scare stories about Brexit and what

:01:09.:01:18.

it is going to mean. That is why returning MPs they go to Parliament

:01:19.:01:21.

and do the job, it will mean that instead of hearing more scare

:01:22.:01:25.

stories, there are more scare stories than at a haunted house, for

:01:26.:01:29.

goodness' sake. It is essential to return MPs that do a good job. You

:01:30.:01:33.

were shaking your head throughout all of that. I live in a border

:01:34.:01:36.

constituency. There is no assembly all of that. I live in a border

:01:37.:01:42.

to negotiate. Theresa May doesn't know what she's doing. There are

:01:43.:01:45.

questions that remain unanswered. There could a border, there may not

:01:46.:01:50.

be a border. No one knows the answer. We are told by the Prime

:01:51.:01:54.

Minister that no deal is better than a bad bill. There is already a

:01:55.:02:00.

border there. There is no hard border. I don't want to build gun

:02:01.:02:09.

turrets on the border. Britain has been a trading nation for thousands

:02:10.:02:14.

of years. We can make it work, but it will be difficult. We do need to

:02:15.:02:17.

get the Northern Ireland assembly back up and running again. We have

:02:18.:02:22.

got to get a deal that works for Northern Ireland. It is not just

:02:23.:02:27.

about trade deals, it is also about migration policy. Our health sector

:02:28.:02:33.

and tourism and agricultural sector are reliant on free movement of

:02:34.:02:37.

people. That has to be part of the mix as well. A lot of this depends

:02:38.:02:41.

on getting the government here back up and running. Do you think that is

:02:42.:02:44.

realistic? Some feel that Sinn Fein is bucking any deal at this stage.

:02:45.:02:53.

No, the Sinn Fein -- the DUP know what has to be done. As you know,

:02:54.:02:59.

they are against marriage equality. They are against an Irish language

:03:00.:03:05.

act, when there is a Gaelic language act in Scotland. The DUP have to

:03:06.:03:10.

sign up to the respect and rights agenda. I am confident that that

:03:11.:03:14.

will happen and we will have a government back here. That is our

:03:15.:03:18.

aim. But let's have this election. Let's get a strong mandate for Sinn

:03:19.:03:22.

Fein to get back into talks and greater government people can be

:03:23.:03:27.

proud of. Thank you very much to all of the politicians here. They are

:03:28.:03:30.

all going to sing happy birthday to Steph. They are excited about doing

:03:31.:03:36.

that. They are also excited to see what happens to Steph. Look, at the

:03:37.:03:42.

edge of the water, you can see that she is heading into the surf. It

:03:43.:03:44.

could be very cold. Thank you, Chris. In my opinion,

:03:45.:03:59.

there is nothing better than a birthday surf. Bracing! We will be

:04:00.:04:05.

back with Steph in the Portrush surf before the end of the programme.

:04:06.:04:07.

We'll chat to Inbetweeners stars Joe Thomas and James Buckley

:04:08.:04:10.

about their new sitcom, White Gold, in just a moment.

:04:11.:04:12.

That's all. I will be back with our brief look at the headlines

:04:13.:05:49.

That's all. I will be back with our lunchtime news at 1.30. Bye-bye.

:05:50.:06:00.

I was about to tell our guests to shush, but that would be rude!

:06:01.:06:06.

What happens when you take two of the Inbetweeners,

:06:07.:06:13.

transport them back to the '80s, and put them in a double-glazing

:06:14.:06:15.

A new BBC comedy all about dodgy shenanigans,

:06:16.:06:18.

Joe Thomas and James Buckley have joined forces again -

:06:19.:06:27.

this time to star in the new sitcom, White Gold.

:06:28.:06:30.

We'll chat to them in a moment, but first, let's take

:06:31.:06:33.

I'm Martin Lavender from Cachet Windows.

:06:34.:06:36.

You have your dinner, I'll call back another day.

:06:37.:06:39.

VOICEOVER: Formerly a musician, he quit his struggling band

:06:40.:06:44.

# Let me guess what's on your mind...

:06:45.:06:51.

Unfortunately, three months later, his now ex-band landed the biggest

:06:52.:06:53.

number one single of the year with

:06:54.:06:55.

# Wherever I lay my hat, that's my home...

:06:56.:07:04.

Naturally, we rallied around to help him

:07:05.:07:06.

Joe Thomas and Denis Buckley are here. -- J Thomas and James Buckley.

:07:07.:07:31.

Set it up for us. You are all working in the same place? Yes, we

:07:32.:07:36.

work in a double glazing firm and then the other salesmen is Vincent,

:07:37.:07:45.

the boss. The head of sales. But we have another boss that we are scared

:07:46.:07:56.

of. I am quite a bad salesmen, as you see there. You are a bit too

:07:57.:08:02.

nice. Joe's character is quite honest and a decent human being.

:08:03.:08:07.

Whereas yours isn't. Four turns out you have to be an awful person to be

:08:08.:08:13.

a good salesperson. It doesn't happen if you are worried about

:08:14.:08:17.

whether the product is what they need. I am sure sales men these days

:08:18.:08:22.

would say things have changed. This was probably the bad old days of

:08:23.:08:27.

double glazing and really hard selling. We are not necessarily

:08:28.:08:35.

saying these practices continue. He says, backtracking! I was a terrible

:08:36.:08:42.

salesmen. That is how I would be if I had to sell. I used to work in the

:08:43.:08:46.

late, great BHS. I wasn't responsible for its demise, by the

:08:47.:08:50.

way. But I had to sell the store credit card when I was in BHS and I

:08:51.:08:55.

was useless at it. I have a lot of admiration for people who can do it

:08:56.:09:01.

well. It is a skill. You grew up in Essex. So in terms of the

:09:02.:09:07.

representation of the good people of Essex, where you concerned about

:09:08.:09:13.

that? Not at all. They are getting ripped off here if anything. I am

:09:14.:09:23.

proud to be from Essex. I grew up in Dagenham and it was great to not

:09:24.:09:27.

only do a comedy set in Essex, but we filmed it in Essex as well. The

:09:28.:09:35.

characters that we explore our more the types of people that I know.

:09:36.:09:43.

They are what I call normal people, which is 99% of the country. In

:09:44.:09:47.

Great Britain, we are known for our sense of humour, super sharp, very

:09:48.:09:53.

quick-witted. And that is what these characters are like. I think

:09:54.:10:01.

wherever you are in suburban Britain, those are the people you

:10:02.:10:06.

meet. It is great to do something that is about normal people. Because

:10:07.:10:11.

it is set in the '80s, and I am not sure you remember the 80s because

:10:12.:10:15.

you are too young. Joe knows it better than me. Those were my best

:10:16.:10:24.

years, the 80s. Does it give you more leeway than it would if it was

:10:25.:10:34.

set now? I think so. I think the 80s in particular seems to be really

:10:35.:10:40.

great. There is a lot of material in that decade for comedy. Just the

:10:41.:10:45.

attitudes, and men especially, white men. It was a time when even just

:10:46.:10:51.

the way men dressed, they expressed themselves more. It was a bit more

:10:52.:11:02.

front foot. It was good to be in your face. It is not tended to have

:11:03.:11:09.

that sort of macho swagger any more. You almost can't find an actor who

:11:10.:11:15.

does that. But you found one. We found the last one. Ed has been in

:11:16.:11:29.

America, where they keep it alive. And the episode that is on tonight,

:11:30.:11:34.

you have written. I did indeed. We can't show a clip because it is just

:11:35.:11:42.

too rude! People who are fans of The Inbetweeners will be accustomed to

:11:43.:11:47.

some of the language used. Tonight's episode is one of my favourites. And

:11:48.:11:51.

because of that, there was no way we can show it. But in terms of the

:11:52.:11:59.

challenge of writing, did it take a long time? It did, because as you

:12:00.:12:04.

said, I didn't remember the 80s. I was aware it had happened. From my

:12:05.:12:13.

maths. They must have done! But I was trying to torture as many people

:12:14.:12:18.

who remembered it and get a sense of what people were watching on TV,

:12:19.:12:21.

what they were listening to, what the cultural attitudes were. It was

:12:22.:12:28.

that that I was interested in, rather than... I started off trying

:12:29.:12:32.

to read about politics, but it was quite dry and not really what

:12:33.:12:37.

character comedy is about. It is more that they all loved Miami Vice.

:12:38.:12:45.

I loved Miami Vice! Me too, it's fantastic. That was the kind of

:12:46.:12:48.

thing I wanted to get to the root of. Thank you for coming to see us.

:12:49.:12:51.

White Gold is on BBC Two tonight at 10pm.

:12:52.:12:53.

The entire series is also available on the BBC iPlayer.

:12:54.:12:58.

Didn't have that in the '80s. Steph has been out and about in Northern

:12:59.:13:08.

Ireland for us this morning. The party that has crossed the Irish

:13:09.:13:11.

sea. We promised you that on her birthday, she would be taking a dip.

:13:12.:13:18.

There she is. She has been having a surfing lesson. I am not sure if it

:13:19.:13:22.

is her first, but having had a couple myself, it might have been.

:13:23.:13:26.

Steph, have a lovely, happy birthday.

:13:27.:13:27.

Charlie and Naga will be back with Breakfast tomorrow from six.

:13:28.:13:30.

We are in Scotland with the Breakfast butty van on Friday.

:13:31.:13:34.
