A warning of extra costs for the NHS if British pensioners living | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
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. | |
and New Zealand have been treated to a spectacular show | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
as the Southern Lights swept The Aurora Australis | :11:42. | :11:43. | |
is caused by solar wind - a stream of charged particles | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
escaping the Sun - interacting with Earth's magnetic | :11:47. | :11:48. | |
field and atmosphere. And it produces these amazing | :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 | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
minutes past six. We've also that out for your next holiday. Some | :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 | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
Wenger lift the trophy Thousands of fans took | :13:06. | :13:07. | |
to the streets of Huddersfield yesterday to celebrate reaching | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
the Premier League They beat Reading on penalties | :13:12. | :13:13. | |
in the playoff final at Wembley World number one Andy Murray's | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
through to the second round of the French Open | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
after beating Russia's Andrey Murray now faces the world number 50 | :13:22. | :13:23. | |
- Slovakia's Martin Klizan. British number two Kyle Edmund | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
is also through after But British number one | :13:28. | :13:29. | |
Johanna Konta was knocked out Seventh seed Konta is yet | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
to win a match in the main Bit of a surprise there, the women's | :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. | |
missing it, this rain starting to sink southwards. The heaviest rain | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
on the holes, more drizzle as we push further south. Temperatures | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
still on the help the side, looking at 20 - 25, fresher as we pushed to | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
the north-east of Scotland. For Friday, still best weather front | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
producing rain, here it is, continuing south eastwards, ahead of | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
that some showers, pretty warm, 35-26 the maximum. The potential for | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
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, | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
dividing temperatures. Carol, thank you. See you later. | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
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 | :24:55. | :25:10. | |
by Chris, are Ireland Correspondent, we are going to go and find him on | :25:11. | :25:15. | |

businesses and locals about what they want to see from the election. | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
The rest of the UK, and Northern Ireland has St Neots and downs of | :25:51. | :25:52. | |
the economy but at the moment Northern Ireland is growing slightly | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
slower than the rest of the UK, and testing time for them and the | :25:58. | :26:00. | |
make-up of the population, about one in four people in Northern Ireland | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
under 25, slightly different to the rest of the country. Interesting | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
dynamic, Chris Overton on the beach. Good morning! Good morning. He is | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
going to give us a bit of a tour. I am your unofficial tour guide, this | :26:16. | :26:19. | |

Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. | :26:58. | :26:58. | |
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 | :30:46. | :30:48. | |
Justin Bieber, Katy Perry and Take That are amongst the stars | :30:49. | :30:52. | |
set to join pop star Ariana Grande for a concert in aid of the victims | :30:53. | :30:56. | |
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. | |

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 | :33:21. | :33:26. | |
Manchester bombing have been Detectives are still questioning 11 | :33:27. | :33:28. | |
people to try to find out whether the bomber, | :33:29. | :33:33. | |
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 | :33:39. | :33:46. | |
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 | :33:55. | :33:57. | |
otherwise want to join. The US says it's successfully | :33:58. | :34:03. | |
tested its defence system against an intercontinental | :34:04. | :34:06. | |
ballistic missile American military intercepted | :34:07. | :34:08. | |
and destroyed a mock warhead fired towards Alaska, | :34:09. | :34:13. | |
from the Marshall Islands The Pentagon said the test | :34:14. | :34:16. | |
was long-planned but it comes amid increased tensions with North | :34:17. | :34:21. | |
Korea. Olivia Newton-John has revealed | :34:22. | :34:34. | |
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 | :34:41. | :34:42. | |
is undergoing treatment, and expects to return to the stage | :34:43. | :34:44. | |
later in 2017. Nasa will announce an ambitious | :34:45. | :34:47. | |
mission for next year, as it aims to get closer to the sun | :34:48. | :34:49. | |
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 | :36:55. | :36:59. | |
play-off trophy through the town. Thousands of fans gathered | :37:00. | :37:02. | |
to celebrate reaching the Premier League for | :37:03. | :37:04. | |
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 | :37:08. | :37:09. | |

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 | :38:03. | :38:08. | |
still has never won a match Golf legend Jack Nicklaus says that | :38:09. | :38:11. | |
everyone involved in the game needs to help Tiger Woods who was arrested | :38:12. | :38:20. | |
on a charge of driving under According to a police report, Woods, | :38:21. | :38:23. | |
winner of 14 Majors, was asleep at the wheel | :38:24. | :38:27. | |
of his Mercedes on a Florida road It's the latest in a series | :38:28. | :38:30. | |
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 | :43:42. | :43:46. | |
people were killed. Police warn the public not to approach a prisoner | :43:47. | :43:50. | |
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. | |
You can email us at [email protected] | :59:31. | :59:36. | |
Hello this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. | :59:37. | :00:11. | |
Rehearsals begin for Ariana Grande's benefit concert for the victims | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
Some of the biggest names in pop will join the singer on the stage | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
in the city on Sunday night - with more acts | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
Last night, Liam Gallagher played an emotional concert in the city | :00:25. | :00:47. | |
telling Good morning, it's | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
Wednesday 31st May. A warning of extra costs for the NHS | :00:54. | :00:54. | |
if British pensioners living in other EU countries have to return | :00:55. | :01:03. | |
home for health care after Brexit. A breast surgeon who carried out | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
life-changing and unnecessary operations on his patients will be | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
sentenced later - we'll hear We've brought the | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
Breakfast Butty Van over to Portrush on the beautiful | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
Northern Irish coast ahead of next week's election to find out | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
what locals here want we'll bring you sunshine, the sea | :01:25. | :01:36. | |
and surf and some uncertainty as we talk about politics, people going | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
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 | :03:20. | :03:29. | |
chanting, stand up for the 22. This was one of Manchester's a guest | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
music stars returning home to deliver a set including away six | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
classics like live forever, rock and roll star, one song noticeable by | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
its absence, the one that has become an anthem or unity over the last | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
week, don't look back in anger. But then it was noble who signed up. -- | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
it was noble Gallaher who signed that. Liam did not sing it but the | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
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 | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
unlikely but it surprised many that Noel Gallaher is not on the line-up | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
for the fundraising show this Sunday, could he a surprise of the | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
day or perhaps join Coldplay for a version of the song which has become | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
the soundtrack to a city dry to move on? Colin Paterson, BBC News. | :04:47. | :04:47. | |
Manchester. Going to be quite a line, black eye | :04:48. | :04:58. | |
peas, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Coldplay, take that, Usher amongst | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
others. Nile Horan is going to be there as well, the concert being | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
held at the Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground this Sunday, a | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
combined system, tickets going on sale tomorrow at 10am, if you | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
attended the original Ariana Grande construct you can register to attend | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
the concert for free and you can register now, if you went to the the | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
Manchester Arena last week you can go onto the website, register and do | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
that by 4pm today. If you went to the concert last week and you would | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
like to go for free, do that before 4pm today, tickets go on general | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
release 10am tomorrow morning. We will speak to someone who was at the | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
concert and he has also applied a ready and the concert organiser as | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
well. The NHS could have to raise an extra | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
half a billion pounds a year, if British pensioners living | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
in other EU countries have to return That's the warning from a health | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
charity this morning. The Nuffield Trust says the cost | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
of treating them on home soil rather than abroad could cost | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
almost a billion pounds, For many British pensioners it's | :06:06. | :06:07. | |
the appeal of a retirement in the sunshine that attracts them to move | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
to countries like Spain or France. But having the same health care | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
rights as the locals is an important It's part of a reciprocal scheme | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
which the UK pays around ?500 It covers nearly 200,000 | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
British expats living out But it's a deal potentially | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
under threat when Brexit happens according | :06:30. | :06:37. | |
to the Nuffield Trust. People, if they had to return | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
from countries where they live in the EU to here, retired people, | :06:45. | :06:46. | |
could cost the NHS probably need more hospital beds | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
and nurses to give those people Unless a deal is struck | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
the Trust says pensioners health care and if they returned to | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
Britain for treatment it could cost Last year spending | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
on the NHS in England The Nuffield Trust estimates | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
that the NHS would need around 1600 more doctors, | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
nurses and other workers to provide In response, the Conservative | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
Party says protecting the rights of UK nationals in the EU | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
is one of their priorities for the But the Liberal Democrats | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
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 | :08:10. | :08:21. | |
armed and ready to go, but Chris, what should we know today? Good | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
morning, it is a week and a day to go, the two dig TARDIS, art, if you | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
like, playing their hit records, the favourite songs, no time for the | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
gusty old B-sides that no one heard of. Let's talk about the stuff in | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
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 | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
of this, the manifesto, fully costed, falling over themselves to | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
say it was fully costed when Jeremy Corbyn got himself in a tangle | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
yesterday not woman's our interview. The Conservatives focus on Brexit, | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
seeing that as Central, the justification that Theresa May used | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
for calling this general election in the first place. Some awkward | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
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 | :09:31. | :09:31. | |
you as ever very soon. blade is on the run after escaping | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
from officers in Wiltshire. The man had been taken | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
to hospital with a head injury, before escaping | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
from guards yesterday evening. Police are warning the public not to | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
approach him. Afghan police say a powerful | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
car bomb has exploded Officials say at least | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
9 people were killed in the explosion, which happened | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
during the city's rush hour. More than 90 people have been | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
injured. A man has been arrested, | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
after the bodies of a woman and two children were discovered in a flat | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
in the Toxteth area of Liverpool. Let's join our reporter | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
Frankie McCamley, who is at the scene | :10:23. | :10:24. | |
for us this morning. Frankie, what's the latest | :10:25. | :10:25. | |
you can tell us? Emergency service called to this | :10:26. | :10:34. | |
road around 7:30pm yesterday evening, reporting and responding to | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
a gas leak. They cleared nearby streets, telling people to stay in | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
their homes. Police arrived at a ground-floor flat, finding the | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
bodies of a woman and two children, they say they have arrested a | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
30-year-old man on suspicion of murder, he has subsequently fallen | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
ill and been taken to hospital, police say they are not looking for | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
anyone else in relation to this incident and believe it is domestic | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
related. Thank you, good to talk to you. | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
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 | :35:30. | :35:32. | |
later in 2017. Nasa will announce an ambitious | :35:33. | :35:39. | |
mission for next year, as it aims to get closer to the sun | :35:40. | :35:41. | |
than ever before. The agency wants to send a space | :35:42. | :35:44. | |
probe into the star's atmosphere to find out more about solar wind, | :35:45. | :35:48. | |
which is a stream of plasma According to a planetary scientist, | :35:49. | :35:51. | |
the probe will get to about 4.3 You are saying earlier, that sounds | :35:52. | :36:28. | |
a long way. Later, Carol will have the weather. Arsene Wenger hanging | :36:29. | :36:40. | |
around a bit longer? I have been testing the water with | :36:41. | :36:48. | |
Arsenal fans. Not a good idea! They are so passionate about this. | :36:49. | :36:52. | |
It comes after the FA Cup victory. But what happens if he has a slow | :36:53. | :36:58. | |
start to next season. Wylfa protests begin again, the chanting we did | :36:59. | :37:03. | |
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 | :37:22. | :37:23. | |
after a meeting with club owner Wenger lifted the FA Cup | :37:24. | :37:26. | |
for a record seventh time after beating Chelsea | :37:27. | :37:29. | |
at the weekend. And while Arsenal finished | :37:30. | :37:31. | |
outside the top four years, Wenger and those in charge | :37:32. | :37:32. | |
at Arsenal have There will be an element | :37:33. | :37:36. | |
who will be so angry, you know? They're already | :37:37. | :37:40. | |
showing their feelings. And then there will be as many, | :37:41. | :37:41. | |
if not more, who'll say, do you know what, we won't get | :37:42. | :37:44. | |
a better manager than Arsene Wenger. There isn't a better | :37:45. | :37:47. | |
one than him around There was a promotion party | :37:48. | :37:49. | |
in Huddersfield yesterday as they paraded the Championship | :37:50. | :37:56. | |
play-off trophy through the town. Thousands of fans gathered | :37:57. | :38:00. | |
to celebrate reaching the Premier League for | :38:01. | :38:01. | |
the first time. They beat Reading on penalties | :38:02. | :38:06. | |
at Wembley to secure promotion to the top flight for the first time | :38:07. | :38:08. | |
in 45 years. World number one Andy Murray | :38:09. | :38:11. | |
is through to the second round of the French Open | :38:12. | :38:14. | |
after beating Russia's Andrey Murray had struggled for form | :38:15. | :38:16. | |
and fitness in the build up to Roland Garros but managed | :38:17. | :38:20. | |
to overcome the first-round test Next up for Murray is | :38:21. | :38:22. | |
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 | :39:03. | :39:06. | |
still has never won a match Golf legend Jack Nicklaus says that | :39:07. | :39:10. | |
everyone involved in the game needs to help Tiger Woods who was arrested | :39:11. | :39:15. | |
on a charge of driving under According to a police report, Woods, | :39:16. | :39:18. | |
winner of 14 Majors, was asleep at the wheel | :39:19. | :39:24. | |
of his Mercedes on a Florida road He has said it is a reaction to | :39:25. | :39:27. | |
prescription drugs. It's the latest in a series | :39:28. | :39:39. | |
of incidents involving the former world number one, | :39:40. | :39:41. | |
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. | :56:43. | :00:07. | |

northern England, North Wales and Northern Ireland there will be some | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
cloud first thing, but a dry day with sunny spells. For the rest of | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
England and Wales, more cloud around, one or two showers but | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
equally some sunny spells later. More details in 15 minutes. | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
A massive car bomb has exploded in car ball killing more than 80 people | :02:22. | :02:32. | |

are making progress in their investigation into the Manchester | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
bomb attack. 11 people remain in custody. Preparations for Sunday's | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
tribute concert has begun. Ariana Grande returns to Manchester | :02:58. | :03:03. | |

Liam Gallagher told a crowd in the city that "normal service has | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
resumed", during an emotional Our entertainment correspondent | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
Colin Paterson was there. Liam Gallagher, back in Manchester, | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
back on stage, looking back 22 candles lined up in front | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
of the drum kit, one for each person killed in the terrorist attack, | :03:21. | :03:28. | |
and it did not take him long What made this gig different | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
was the singing between the songs, the audience spontaneously | :03:32. | :03:53. | |
bursting into chanting, This was one of Manchester's biggest | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
music stars returning home to deliver a set including Oasis | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
classics like Live Forever, Rock and Roll Star, one song | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
noticeable by its absence, the one that has become an anthem | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
for unity over the last week - Liam did not sing it, | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
but the fans did. Staying behind inside the venue long | :04:10. | :04:19. | |
after the show ended. # Don't look back in anger, | :04:20. | :04:30. | |
I heard you say #. You can feel the heart | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
of the people, it was so emotional, I've felt this is exactly | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
what Manchester needed. An Oasis reunion was always highly | :04:41. | :04:53. | |
unlikely but it surprised many that Noel Gallagher is not on the line-up | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
for the fundraising show this Sunday, could he be a surprise | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
on the day or perhaps join Coldplay for a version of the song which has | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
become the soundtrack Some more details about the concert | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
that we have so far. The confirmed line-up | :05:06. | :05:20. | |
is the Black Eyed Peas, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
Coldplay, Take That and Usher among others The concert will be held | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
at the Emirates Old Trafford Cricket If you attended last week's concert, | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
you can register for a free ticket by four o'clock today, | :05:31. | :05:39. | |
at the One Love Manchester website. For everyone else that wants to buy | :05:40. | :05:49. | |
one, they go on sale tomorrow at ten Here on Breakfast we are going to | :05:50. | :06:04. | |
speak to someone who was at that concert and wants to go to the next | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
concert. We'll be hearing from him in the next few minutes. It's an | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
incredible job to put it all together in such a short space of | :06:17. | :06:17. | |
time. The NHS could have to raise an extra | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
half-a-billion pounds a year, if British pensioners living | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
in other EU countries have to return That's the warning from a health | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
charity this morning. The Nuffield Trust says the cost | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
of treating them on home soil rather than abroad could be almost | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
a billion pounds, as For many British pensioners it's | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
the appeal of a retirement in the sunshine that attracts them | :06:35. | :06:43. | |
to move to countries But having the same health care | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
rights as the locals It's part of a reciprocal scheme | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
which the UK pays around It covers nearly 200,000 | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
British expats living But it's a deal potentially under | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
threat when Brexit happens according People, if they had to return | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
from countries whhere they live in the EU to here, | :07:07. | :07:16. | |
retired people, could cost the NHS more money and beyond that we'd | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
probably need more hospital beds and nurses to give those people | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
standards of care they require. Unless a deal is struck | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
the Trust says pensioners would lose their free health care | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
and if they returned to Britain for treatment it could cost | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
the NHS ?1 billion a year. Last year spending on the NHS | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
in England was around 102 billion. The Nuffield Trust estimates | :07:35. | :07:43. | |
that the NHS would need around 1600 more doctors, | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
nurses and other workers In response, the Conservative Party | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
says protecting the rights of UK nationals in the EU is one | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
of their priorities But the Liberal Democrats said this | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
report is evidence that Theresa May's extreme version | :07:54. | :08:02. | |
of Brexit would be a disaster for the NHS putting huge | :08:03. | :08:04. | |
pressure on hospitals. Labour are yet to comment, but have | :08:05. | :08:14. | |
previously accused the Conservatives The NHS and Brexit are also top | :08:15. | :08:16. | |
of the agenda for the two main political parties | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
as they continue their campaigns ahead of next | :08:24. | :08:24. | |
week's general election. Labour will focus on schools | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
and hospitals, claiming the Conservatives have | :08:28. | :08:29. | |
neglected public services. But the Tories say a Labour | :08:30. | :08:31. | |
government would threaten the economy by negotiating a bad | :08:32. | :08:33. | |
Brexit deal. Police say a "dangerous" prisoner, | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
believed to be armed with a razor blade, is on the run after escaping | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
officers in Wiltshire. Michel Kisier, who's 30, | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
had been taken to hospital in Salisbury with a head injury | :08:48. | :08:49. | |
before fleeing from guards Police are warning the public | :08:50. | :08:51. | |
not to approach him. Abuse and bullying in the online | :08:52. | :09:02. | |
gaming world is a growing problem according to new research | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
from anti-bullying Of the 2,500 gamers they surveyed, | :09:06. | :09:06. | |
half had been harassed Here's our technology | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones. For 16-year-old Bailey, | :09:11. | :09:18. | |
video games have been a big part of his life and were once an escape | :09:19. | :09:20. | |
when he was getting He enjoys pitting his skills | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
against other players online, but what he doesn't | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
like is the abuse he sometimes He first experienced bullying | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
in games when he was ten and it's If I'm playing a game and I score | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
a goal, I've literally been If you're being bullied at home, | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
you come home and play your computer and you are just getting more abuse | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
thrown at you. It's just going to put you off | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
doing anything social. The charity Ditch The Label | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
surveyed 2,500 young gamers. 57% said they had been subjected | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
to hate speech in an online game. 47% had received threats and 40% had | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
had unwanted sexual contact. What's changed over the last decade | :09:57. | :10:04. | |
is that more and more games are played online and that means | :10:05. | :10:06. | |
young gamers are encountering anonymous people from around | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
the world and chatting with them. That can of course, be very | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
positive, but it also lays them open for the kind of dangers we've seen | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
elsewhere in the online world. The anti-bullying charity worked | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
with the online game Habo Hotel to research young | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
gamers' experiences. I think what's so shocking | :10:29. | :10:29. | |
is the fact that it's We had gamers telling | :10:30. | :10:38. | |
us this was just part Bailey says he has now learned not | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
to let abuse get to him, but he wants the games companies | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
to do more to watch over what happens online and to act | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
to stop the bullies. For the first time, a British police | :10:49. | :10:50. | |
force is to recruit people directly to become detectives - | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
without them having to first work The Metropolitan Police hopes | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
the scheme will fill some of the 600 detective vacancies in the force, | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
and attract people with different skills and backgrounds who might not | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
otherwise want to join. We shall be speaking to somebody | :11:07. | :11:16. | |

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 | :37:04. | :37:07. | |
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. |
