01/06/2017 Breakfast

Hello this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty.

One of the biggest TV debates of the general election campaign has

seen the main parties clash on Brexit, the economy

There is no payment you don't want to add to, no tax you don't want to

rise, but the fact is, we have to concentrate resources on the people

who need it most. Have you been to a food bank? Have you seen people

sleeping around our stations? Have you seen...

With just a week to go before voting, the Conservatives will put

Brexit at the heart of their campaign, while Labour promise a cap

on rail fares. Donald Trump will announce today

if he's pulling America out of the Paris Climate Change

agreement, but Chinese and EU leaders are preparing to pledge

their support for the deal. I'm at the biggest ago cultural show

in England where farmers like Will gather to show off their animals and

talk about the biggest issues ahead of next week in their industry.

England get their campaign started against Bangladesh at The Oval in a

couple of hours' time. Carol is going wild with the weather looking

at nature on our door steps. Good morning. Good morning from Camley

Street a stone's throw from Kings Cross. It's a haven of tranquility.

The Wildlife Trust launches its 30-days wild today, encouraging us

in the cities to really engage with wildlife on our doorsteps. The

weather's not looking too bad either. For most, it will be dry and

sunny, however there's some rain coming in from the west. More on all

of that in 15 minutes. Theresa May will again put Brexit

at the heart of the Conservative campaign today as she faces

continued criticism for failing to take part in last

night's television debate The Conservatives were represented

by the Home Secretary, Amber Rudd in an event

which saw heated exchanges on a range of issues,

as our political correspondent With a week to go, this was a chance

foreall the parties to pitch their offer to voters and, at the last

minute, Jeremy Corbyn decided it was worth turning up for. Theresa May

was ridiculed for staying away and it was left to her Home Secretary to

fend off the attacks on cuts to Public Services, including

disability benefits. I know there is no extra payment you don't want to

add to, no tax you don't want to rise, but the fact is, we have to

concentrate our resources on the people who need it most and we have

to stop thinking, as you do, that there's a magic money tree. I would

just say this, since Amber Rudd seems so confident this is a country

at ease with itself. Have you been to a food bank? Have you seen people

sleeping around our stations? Have you seen...

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. For amber to say this is a

Government that cares for the most vulnerable I think is downright

insulting to the kind of people that I see in my constituency surgery.

Tim Farron was keen to make the Liberal Democrats case for staying

in the single market after Brexit. The Liberal Democrats have got a

fully costed manifesto, I'll tell you what though there is a long-term

economic plan underlying the whole of the Liberal Democrat manifesto,

and that is don't leave the European single market and throw away ?15

billion every single year in revenue. While others clashed over

immigration, Ukip suggesting Britain would struggle to cope with rising

numbers. We have to get the population under control, because if

we carry on on the road we are on, we'll have a population of 80

million by the middle of the century. Ukip keep using this issue,

they want to whip up people's hatred, division and fear and that's

why they talk about immigration. No, no, no. I think this debate shames

and demeans us all. I don't think there's anyone in this room or

anybody watching this debate from Cornwall to Caithness who does not

understand the positive contribution that people have made to this land

who've come from the rest of Europe and the rest of the world and

demonising those people is totally unacceptable.

APPLAUSE. This was a crowded field with seven

parties all desperate to have their say. As the party in Government, it

wasn't surprising that the Conservatives came under sustained

attack over their record. Their response was to say that being in

power requires difficult decisions. There were no clear winners in this

debate but there was plenty of passion. Vicki Young, BBC News,

Cambridge. Let's speak to our political

correspondent Leila Nathoo, Exactly a week until polling day

and the Conservatives are trying to put Brexit top

of the agenda again. Absolutely. I think Theresa May will

be keen to move on from last night's debate. She was repeatedly attacked

for failing to show up. Her rivals saying that she was holding voters

in contempt, it showed her complacency. Amber Rudd defending

the decision saying it's about having a strong team and she was

saying the other parties are squabbling. I think Theresa May will

have judged that it was right for her to appear above the fray and not

take part. Today, seven days to go, we have the two main parties

returning to safe ground. Theresa May will talk about Brexit. She's

saying this is a great national mission, it's an opportunity to

transform the country's' and Labour talking about rail fares, promising

to cap the increase in rail fares, talking um their policy on taking

the railways back into public ownership as franchises expire. I

think we see a return to the kind of key messages and with just seven

days to go, the parties will be using every opportunity they can to

get those through. Later we'll be speaking

to Labour about their plans There has been widespread

condemnation of a bomb blast in the Afghan capital,

Kabul, which killed at least 90 people and injured

more than 400 others. Afghanistan's President,

Ashraf Ghani, called the attack inhuman and cowardly,

while the White House President Trump is due to announce

later today whether he'll pull the United States out

of the Paris climate agreement. China and the European Union have

been working on a statement in support of the deal,

which pledges to cut global Mr Trump has previously described

climate change a Chinese hoax and an American job-killer,

as David Willis reports The Trump White House is said to be

deeply divided on the issue of global warming. The President's

daughter favours America remaining part of the Paris accord. As does

the G7 whose leaders, Angela Merkel among them, took time out from last

week's summit in Sicily to lobby Mr Trump on the issue. Even Pope

Francis rallied to the defence of the historic accord when he welcomed

the President to the Vatican. We are going to cancel the Paris climate

agreement. But having made that pledge on the campaign trail, it

seems the President intends to stick to it, dealing what

environmentalists say would be a shattering blow to the most

comprehensive agreement on global warming ever reached. People

announce his verdict, the President told his followers on Twitter; in

the Rose Garden of the White House. Opponents fear it could prompt other

members of the accord to ponder whether they too should think about

withdrawing. America produces more in the way of greenhouse gases than

any other country on the planet, apart from China. But President

Trump is keeping faith with fossil fuels in the hope of creating jobs.

His critics say such a policy will never work and that by holding true

to his pledge to put America first, he's faving isolationism over

cooperation on one of the biggest challenges facing the planet. David

Willis, BBC News, Washington. Police investigating

the Manchester Arena bombing have released a 21-year-old man

from Nuneaton without charge. Ten people remain in custody

as detectives try to establish whether the bomber, Salman Abedi,

had any help. Meanwhile, tickets for a benefit

concert in aid of the victims of last week's attack will go

on sale later this morning. Artists including Katie Perry,

Take That, Justin Bieber and Coldplay will all perform

alongside Ariana Grande A prisoner who overpowered his

guards to escape from hospital has Michal Kisiel who police described

as dangerous was spotted by a member A number of BA board members are

pushing for an independent inquiry into the IT failure that meant to

the cancellation of flights over the weekend. 75,000 people were affected

by the disruption which BA blamed on a power failure.

Three quarters of primary school children in the UK

are enjoying reading, the highest numbers on record,

according to a survey by the National Literacy Trust.

But keeping children reading into their teenage years

The number of boys who said they enjoyed reading fell from 70

percent amongst those aged eight to eleven, to just a third

Rast night in a post, Donald Trump calls the Internet to go into a

frenzy. There was a message which said:

Not sure that word Covfefe reacts. Hillary Clinton said people in

Covfefe houses shouldn't throw Covfefe stones. The tweet was

deleted after six hours. A cup of covfefe. Sets you up for the

morning! With temperatures hitting 32 degrees

in Florida at the moment, you might be tempted to go for a dip

to cool down. Until, that is, you see

something like this. A seven foot long

alligator was removed It seems to be going quietly

at first but then reacts with a death roll, normally used

to kill prey. Sarasota County Sheriff's department

said the unwelcome guest It's now been moved to what they've

described as a more Not surpriseded he was doing that

role being taken out of the pool, just wanted a nice dip! Kat is here

now. Imagine seeing that in your pool and thinking, I'll just dive

in, hang on a second what's that in the pool. I would be running away! I

wouldn't do anywhere near that. That is terrifying.

The Champions Trophy is the biggest global 50-overs cricket tournament

outside of the World Cup - and it starts in a few hours time

Ben Stokes has a Breakfast fitness today to see if he can take part.

What is the difference with that Breakfast test or an afternoon?

Because the match starts in a couple of hours' time, he's up early to go

through the test to see if he can take part. There's no actual

breakfast. I was being facetious, sorry. Not like you at all.

Eoin Morgan's men start the competition against Bangladesh

at The Oval this morning - they have never won any major

Sam Warburton will captain The British and Irish Lions

for the first warm-up match on their Tour of New

The flanker's set to play for the first time since suffering

Arsene Wenger says he's got his sights set on the Premier League

title next season after Arsenal finally confirmed yesterday that

he's staying as manager for another two years.

And the defending champion Novak Djokovic marches on in Paris.

The world number two is into the third round,

along with nine-time champion Rafael Nadal.

World number one Andy Murray is in second round action later today.

?? NEWSUB Plenty of early sport today. Andy Murray is on court in

Paris at 10 o'clock, straight after the programme, straight into the

sport. Carol is out for us this morning

at a nature reserve that's a bit of a hidden gem in the King's Cross

area of London. Good morning, Carol. Look at that!

That's lovely. Isn't it? ! Look at this lovely

pond, it's a beautiful natural park and you can see lots of lovely

flowers, the trees are in blossom and you can probably hear the bird

singing as well. The reason that we are here this morning is because the

Wildlife Trust today launches its 30-day wild challenge. That is to

encourage people that live in cities to get out and experience wildlife

on their doorstep. You can find out more about that by going on to the

Wildlife Trust website and it will tell you how to get involved. It

will send you stickers and tell you what kind of activities you can get

involved with as well. It's a beautiful start to the day here in

London though. Not just in London but other areas too. It's also a

mild start. Temperatures are already in double figures. A bit of mist and

fog around this morning but it will readily clear and won't last. For

most, it's a dry start. You can see we have rain coming in initially

across Northern Ireland where at times it will be heavy. It will

drift eastwards, getting into Scotland and north-west England

later, north-west Wales and later again south-west England. So as we

head through the course of the afternoon, we've got that rain

across parts of Scotland. Again making good progress from the west,

slowly moving east. A bit of cloud building ahead of it. We've also got

it coming in across north-west England, but for eastern parts, it's

dry and it will remain so. In fact, it will be a very warm day across

parts of East Anglia and the south-east. Temperatures easily

getting up to 24, 25, possibly even 26. Through the Midlands towards

Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, dry and sunny weather. Towards the

south-west, the cloud will build as the rain starts to show its hand.

For Wales, north-west Wales starting to see some rain, the cloud building

ahead of it. Further east you travel, the brighter and drier the

conditions. For Northern Ireland, as we go through the course of the day,

the rain will start to ease from the west. Heading in through the evening

and overnight, that rain will continue to journey. Steadily

eastwards. You can see the line of it through Scotland, northern

England, Wales, south-west England. Behind it, a few showers, ahead of

it, clear skies and also some mist and fog patches forming as well. It

will be a sultry night in the south-east, temperature range

generally between 11 and 15. We pick up the rain again tomorrow moving

eastwards, fragmenting and turning showery. Behind it, sunny spells.

Ahead of it, we are pumping up some hot air from the near continent.

That could spark off some thunder storms and more likely across East

Anglia and the south-east, but temperatures 26 or indeed 27. It

depends on the progress of that weather front moving east. On

Saturday, it will be clearing away all together. Behind that for

Saturday and for Sunday, we are looking at a day of sunshine and

showers. It will feel fresher than today and tomorrow. We'll find that

temperatures will be closer to where they should be at this time of year.

So we are having a ball down here this morning, it really is a very

pretty place to visit. I'm sure you are going to have lots of fun there

and we are going to ask our viewers as well to send some pictures of

hidden beauty spots on your doorstep. Although it would no

longer be hidden if you share it. A little Oasis of calm that one. Kat

has stayed with us to have a look at the papers.

Prince Philip celebrating the 130th anniversary of the charity London

Youth. He's been a patron. It puts it inperspective, this, he's been a

patron since 1947. The main story, have faith in me, May fighting back.

You will be aware that she wasn't involved in the leaders debate last

night and came in for some criticism for that. The message today, right

back on Brexit, we'll talk more about that later on and we'll be

speaking to, amongst others, Boris Johnson. The person that did

represent the Conservatives was Amber Rudd. She's on the Daily

Telegraph. A record number of people being hit by the 45p top rate of

tax. It's saying because of wage inflation it's sent incomes above

the threshold of ?150,000 a year, there's been a reduction in pension

tax relief as well. So by the end of this year, HMRC expects more than

350,000 people to be paying in that top rate of income tax. On the

front-page of the Daily Mirror going back to election issues, the main

story in connection with the NHS, this is stories about financing the

NHS. It's been such a hot topic throughout the election debate. The

BMA quoting Dr Mark Porter, the NHS is in a position where it has to put

off spending because the money's run out leaving patients waiting in pain

and uncertainty. You have been talking a lot about Arsenal lately.

That's done and dusted now, but just when you think that football is

over, here we are into transfer season, so there's lots of rumours

on the back of the Sun, a lot of other papers talking about this

double deal for Real Madrid coming in for Hazard from Chelsea and David

De Gea. All the reporters in the BBC say that's nonsense and De Gea is

not going anywhere. This was an interesting one. This is a horse

that's been entered into the Derby ah real no-hoper but the owners are

saying if it did come in the top six places, any money that it won would

be donated to Great Ormond Street Hospital. The girl that rides it is

a novice, she's had her licence for a long time but hasn't ridden in

many races. The British Horseracing Authority has said she's not good

enough, she doesn't have the expaoenks, she's held her licence

for years but only has one winner to her name. Never ridden at Epsom,

never ridden in the scale of the Derby so they say she can't ride. It

seems a little bit funny since they let Victoria Pendleton ride round

the jumps at Pendleton and she'd never ridden before in her life.

There are always two sides to every story. It's the Derby, one of the

biggest races in the British racing calendar and she was unplaced on her

one ride at Kempton last night and incurred a four-day careless riding

ban. Who knows, maybe she is careless. I thought it was an

interesting story, given Victoria Pendleton was given the chance to

ride. This one is on the flat. Ever wondered if you can tell how a sheep

is happy or sad? I have. Off snn We have sheep in my field in Yorkshire.

Do you think you know? Well, they just look cheerful, who knows. That

is too vague. This is a survey into how a farmer can step if the sheep

are sad. Contented sheep have their ears back and a ewe-shaped nose.

That's the one on the left there. A U-shaped nose. The one on the right

is different all together, ears forward and a V-shaped nose. Doesn't

it depend on the... The nose changes shape. Do you mean the nostrils? No,

who knows. A V-shaped nose. I wonder if that works with humans.

Cardiff is preparing to host the biggest game

Tens of thousands of Juventus and Real Madrid fans are expected

to descend on the city for the Champions League

In the wake of the Manchester Arena attack, South Wales Police say

they'll deploy their largest ever football security operation,

This stadium has seen a Rugby World Cup final,

several FA Cup finals and played host to countless rock concerts.

But this weekend's headliners are perhaps the biggest yet.

Certainly in terms of economic impact and the level of security.

By the time the multi-million pound stars from Real Madrid and Juventus

emerge from the tunnel, the stadium will have

been scoured, scanned and searched many times over.

Police teams have been drafted in from across the country.

This is the biggest club football match in the world,

but the security operation here in Cardiff is

600 of those will be armed and a complete vehicle lockdown

around the Welsh capital for three days.

But a lot has changed in the world since Cardiff was chosen

Attacks in Paris, Nice, Berlin, Westminster and only last week

in Manchester have shown how vulnerable big cities

That made us look at the way in which those atrocities

were carried out, so we've looked at different methods,

such as we've had lone actors with vehicles.

Nice was a lorry, we've had the Westminster attack

We are well aware of terrorist firearms attacks from previous

occasions, so we've tried to look at all ways in which we can mitigate

Hundreds of armed police on the streets of Cardiff

are deliberately visible deterrent, especially in the wake

But the decision to throw up such a wide cordon of concrete barriers,

fences and to exclude traffic from today, will enclose the city

Not that too many locals seem to be put out by the inconvenience.

Very, very glad it's here, it's great for the city.

You've got the Spanish and the Italians, so hopefully

But there's certainly anxiety, definitely about any

Brings some money into Cardiff and show where we are

Every inch of Cardiff real estate seems to have been draped

with images of Real Madrid's local Galactico, Gareth Bale.

And while the economic impact is difficult to assess,

some local businesses will benefit, others will feel squeezed out

as the giants of the corporate world descend on Cardiff.

Other cities would give their right arm to actually hold

the Champions League final and we've got to maximise this opportunity.

I hope that the Welsh and the UK Governments are squeezing every hand

of every businessman that comes in here and say, why don't

We can look what we can do for your business in this

With 170,000 visiting fans, and another 200 million

television viewers worldwide, this is an opportunity

But nor can the city's Security be taken for granted.

Farmers from all over the country are gathering at England's

This is a huge event isn't it, Sean? That's Sean the sheep.

It's massive. That's not Sean the sheep, we don't know the name yet.

That sheep is not Sean. Not sure if it's happy or sad, we'll also figure

that out during the morning. Big day for these guys, it's a huge show. We

are here to talk about the wider industry. Looking after the sheep

and cows here. Over half a million

people work in farming. That runs into the millions if you

look at the wider supply chain. Farms are really

important for all of us. UK farmers produce over 60% of

the food that is consumed in the UK. Agricultural exports including

things like livestock and grain Any changes to the industry will be

pretty big. That is what we are going to look at today. The main

issue today at hand, William, good morning, happy birthday as well by

the way. 16 well done. Thank you. Up early for your birthday. What is it

you are doing here? Trimming her up to make her look meatier. How do you

get meaty, what is the thing you do to make her look meaty? Slimming

down there and strong back legs, a nice flat line across the top. Is it

six sheep you've got? Six here. Who is your best chance? This one, I

reckon. We'll let you get on and catch up with you later in the

morning. A big job for William here today. We have got the election next

week as well. We'll talk about the issues for the industry over the

next couple of hours. It's not just Brexit, it's relationships with

suppliers, all that kind of stuff. We'll catch a bit more of the sheep

as well, of course, they're the stars, but first the news, travel

and weather where you are. stars, but first the news, travel

half an hour. Bye. Hello this is Breakfast with

Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty. We'll bring you all the latest news

and sport in a moment, As breast surgeon,

Ian Paterson, begins a 15-year prison sentence for carrying out

unnecessary operations on patients, we'll hear from one woman

who needlessly underwent a double Jeff Brazier has experienced

bereavement in many forms, including helping his sons come

to terms with the death He is now helping other people

navigate their way through grief. And, their work takes them quite

literally out of this world, but we'll meet the 13-year-old boy

chosen by the UK Space Agency to help improve life

right here on Earth. But now a summary of this

morning's main news. Theresa May will again put Brexit

at the heart of the Conservative campaign today as she faces

continued criticism for failing to take part in last

night's television debate Let's speak to our political

correspondent Leila Nathoo, With exactly a week until polling

day, the Tories are trying to put Brexit top of the agenda

again aren't they? I don't think there were any

knockout blows or any big stumbles for any of the parties to capitalise

on or exploit this morning, but what did stand out was the reason may's

absence. She was attacked by all the opposition parties for failing to

show up. They said it showed contempt for voters, they said it

was complacent and she couldn't be bothered to turn up and put her

policies forward. There were various heated exchanges, welfare, food

banks and security. But I think her decision not to show, it was a

calculated decision. Amber Rudd, who was in her place was trying to

present the opposition parties squabbling amongst themselves saying

we are the only realistic party, you are fighting amongst yourselves and

this is what will be happening if Labour is in power propped up by a

coalition of chaos. But we are seeing a return to the key messages,

I returned to save political grounds, if you like from both main

parties. The Conservatives talking about Brexit. Theresa May will say

she can only get Brexit right and it is time to come together and make

the most of the opportunities that Brexit offers. While Labour will be

talking about rail fares. They are promising to cap rail fares and

renationalise the railways as franchises expire. With just a week

to go, there is a return to these key messages seeing as there was no

killer blows from the debate last night. Thank you.

There has been widespread condemnation of a bomb

in the diplomatic area of the Afghan capital, Kabul.

Yesterday's attack, which killed at least 90 people and has left

more than 400 injured, has been described by the country's

President, Ashraf Ghani, as inhuman and cowardly.

A further explosion hit Jalalabad airport this morning killing one

person and injuring six others. President Trump is due to announce

later today whether he'll pull the United States out

climate change as a Chinese hoax Police investigating

Scientists have poured cold water on the theory that we need

to wash our hands with hot water to kill germs.

A new study has found that cool water removes the same amount

of harmful bacteria as warm or hot water.

Researchers from Rutjers University in New Jersey also found that

antibacterial soap is no better than normal soap, but they do

recommend scrubbing your hands for at least 10 seconds.

Do you ever think about washing your hands? I don't bother. That is my

real, just don't bother. You are supposed to do it for ages, go up to

your elbows. Only if you are going into surgery!

But there are proper ways of doing it.

Shall we talk about the cricket? The champions Trophy starts this

morning. Lots to look forward to this morning. The cricket is the

biggest global event in 50 overs cricket outside the World Cup. It is

like the ATP world tour finals, the top eight players go to London at

the end of the season. This is the same for cricket, at the top eight

teams in the world and it is taking place in England and Wales. Good

morning everyone. England will begin

the Champions Trophy later this It's the biggest 50-over global

event outside of the World Cup with just the world's top

eight sides taking part. They begin their tournament

against Bangladesh at the Oval, with their star all-rounder

Ben Stokes expected to play England's captain believes his side

has a big chance of making history. We have a huge amount of talent. We

have put ourselves in pressure situations before. The consistency

of the site has been impressive over the last two years. We knew there

would be ups and downs, but there hasn't been as many as I thought

there would be. We are well ahead of our progression. I think we are

coming into the tournament as one of the favourites and it is pretty

flattering. Sam Warburton will captain

the British and Irish Lions in their opening match against

the Provincial Barbarians on Sunday. The flanker will play his first

game since suffering a knee injury in April,

lining up in an all-Welsh back-row. The Scottish trio of Greig Laidlaw,

Tommy Seymour and Stuart Hogg all start, as does Kyle Sinckler,

who has yet to start I was constantly panicking four

years ago when I was going to get a game and whether I was going to pull

through. Seeing other guys playing for the first time for the Lions.

UMB that because you worked so hard to achieve it. Now the ball is

rolling and hopefully I can stay fit and get a good view fixtures under

my belt. And it's been confirmed this morning

that Warren Gatland' son Bryn will be in the Provincial Barbarians

side against his dad's Bit of family rivalry going on. As

if it wouldn't be fiercely fought enough!

We brought you the news yesterday that Arsene Wenger was set

to sign a new contract, well that deal has now been signed

with the Premier League title in Wenger's sights.

The Frenchman joined the club back in 1996 and has extended his stay

to 23 years after agreeing a new two-year deal.

There was speculation about his future throughout the season,

but after a disappointing fifth place finish the campaign ended

And finally with tennis, do you remember this?

Britain's Davis Cup tie in February against Canada,

the match was settled when the Canadian player

Denis Shapalov hit umpire Arnaud Gabas in the eye with a wild

Poor Gabas had to undergo surgery for a fractured eye socket.

All kinds of penalties for the player there. And Gabas was making

his comeback and history almost repeated itself. Almost hit him in

the high again. Everyone is laughing, but he does look

concerned. If you had undergone surgery and a tennis ball came

flying toward the eye, I think the reaction was appropriate. Thanks

very much, we will see you later ordering.

With exactly one week until the general election,

the political parties are back on the campaign trail after last

This morning, Labour is promising to save rail commuters more

than ?1000 on a season ticket over the next five years.

It's part of plans to renationalise the railways.

Let's speak to the Shadow Transport Secretary, Andy McDonald.

Thank you for joining us. How will this work, the renationalisation of

the railways? Yellow -- as the franchises reach their natural end,

we will bring them back into the public railway. There are

significant savings to have and there will be no pay-out to

shareholders. Some of those duplication costs throughout the

injury will be avoided as well as costs by contractors as well. We can

put a lid on fares. How can you put a lid on fares? By making sure fares

are limited. There will be a cap placed on by a Labour government,

and the Tory government have raised fares by 27% since 2010 and they

have risen at RPI plus one and then RPI itself. It has a huge impact on

fares, so we can do that by changing that index that applies to rail

fares, regulating them in the first instance, but as more franchises

come back into the system, expanding it to the other fares as well. They

are still going to rise? Yes, but there will be a cap put on them so

they will become more and more affordable. As more and more

franchises come back into the system, there is more opportunities

to not only cap those fares, but explore a reduction in those fares

as well. That has got to be the objective because they are the most

expensive rail fares in Europe, which is unsustainable. Will we see

an improvement in service because rarely use is at a record,

punctuality has significantly improved, so how will I see a

difference when I take the train? Punctuality and reliability has gone

back over recent times. We have to look no further than the debacle of

Southern rail, the worst performing franchise in the country. We will

see an improvement because there isn't the drive to extract value out

of the system. We can make sure the services run for who they do run for

which is the passengers. At the moment the whole thing is skewed

towards different objectives. We have to focus on the passengers and

make sure the service works for them and we get the best value from it.

But you will be losing money from the franchise, not from

renationalise in the franchises because that brings money into

government? No, we will be saving a fortune. How can you quantify that?

I can quantify it, by the service I have identified, the cost of running

the franchise system itself cost hundreds of millions of pounds. The

shareholder dividends going out to the state owned companies, owned by

European national governments, those costs will be avoided. The costs of

duplication, you have marketing by many, many companies. Management

systems for many, many companies where you could bring those together

and avoid those costs. And the subcontractors, these are huge items

of costs that are unnecessarily incurred. We could stop that and

bring it back into the system and deliver a better service and cap

fares that are affordable. Can we talk about last night's debate?

Jeremy Corbyn was told he doesn't have a plan for Brexit. The

Conservatives are putting this back to the top of the agenda and there

has been criticism but Jeremy Corbyn didn't capitalise that Theresa May

wasn't there. Did he perform well enough? He turned up, Theresa May

did not. She demonstrated her contempt for the British public and

she is frightened in engaging in sensible debate. I think we got our

message across well. It is difficult when there are seven participants,

but now people are seeing Jeremy Corbyn much more often and people

are warming to the message that he is presenting on behalf of the

Labour Party. I think it was a success, as have been other

appearances and that is reflected in a narrowing in the polls. Is he

convincing the public he can take this country through Brexit

negotiations are effectively? The criticism is, that he can't? I have

never known a more resilient character in my life. He has been

constantly vilified. He doesn't let any of it wear him down. He keeps

going, he is the most determined individual and his principles are

soundly based. I have every confidence in Jeremy Corbyn and Keir

Starmer leading our negotiations with the European Union. I am

looking upon them as partners, rather than this condescending

attitude that some of our representatives have towards our

European partners, which is not serving as well as a nation. Thank

you for joining us on Breakfast. We are in Camberley Street natural

Park. We are in the centre of London, just a stone's throw from

King's Cross and Saint Pancras station.

Lovely day in London at the moment. If you are just stepping out and you

have an allergy to grass pollen, the levels are high across most of

England and Wales except northern England where they are moderate and

they are low across Scotland and Northern Ireland. Temperatures will

continue to rise quickly. The mist and fog we have will live by eight

or nine and there will be a fair bit of sunshine. Exception is in the

West where we have a band of rain and it will be heavy crossing

Northern Ireland and it will make its way into western Scotland. By

4pm this afternoon we will have the rain ensconced across western

Scotland moving through Central part as well. Eastern Scotland, at this

stage, clouding over but still drive. Further south into northern

England, it will be fringing into the far north-west. The north-east

of England staying dry with some sunshine. In the Midlands and East

Anglia, Essex, Kent, the Isle of Wight, we are back into sunny skies.

It will feel warm. Temperatures around London getting up to 26

degrees through the course of the day and not too far away from that

in the Home Counties. There will be a little bit more cloud in the

south-west, but dry at this stage in the afternoon. In Wales, a lot of

dry weather, sunshine but starting to cloud over from the north-west as

the weather from producing the rain shows its hand. As we head into

Northern Ireland we are looking at the rain continuing to push away

towards the east, brightening up in the day in the West. The band of

rain will continue overnight to get steadily south eastwards, but you

can see the progress it is making, it is not particularly fast. Ahead

of it in the South East it will be a sultry nights, with temperatures not

getting any lower than 15 Celsius. Behind it there will be showers and

a fresher feel to the night but the mist and fog that forms overnight

will quickly lift in the morning and the band of rain will edge in the

direction of the South East, fragmenting and turning showery.

There will be warm or hot air from the near continent tomorrow. Across

eastern part of England. That could spark a few showers and possibly a

few thunderstorms across East Anglia and the south-east of England. On

the other side of the weather front, we are back in the sunshine.

Saturday, we lose the weather front from the south-east and as it clears

fresher air will follow in behind. For Saturday and Sunday we're

looking at a mixture of sunshine and showers with temperatures roughly

where they should be at this stage. And that means, today is the first

day of summer. But only in meteorological terms.

I didn't know that, thank you Carol. The weather looks very summary. Send

us a picture of hidden beauty spots on your doorstep if you don't mind

sharing them. OBR shoulder, I can see pigs'

bottoms. These guys were only born in January

and they will be on show later. They use commercial baby oil to make them

look more pristine. Martin, everything going to plan so far?

So far, they have been for walk this morning, they are now eating. We

will look at you or leaving them later. All morning we are talking

about the industry, so we have Brexit, the election next week and

be odd two big things on the horizon. ?18 billion we exported.

Any small changes could affect the business a lot. Let's chat to a

couple of people. James, B Farmer and Melanie from the National

Farmers' Union. We'll start would Thursday, is there one thing that

you wish you'd seen the parties come up with that you haven't seen yet?

As ever, we want to see more commitment to British farming and

food production. The manifestos have given more of an indication than

others. Our job is to talk to as many prospective candidates as we

can about what is important for farmers and growers across this

region and beyond. Are you happy with say Theresa May and Jeremy

Corbyn and what their plans are for the farming industry after the

election and the Brexit negotiations? We always want more.

We have seen a commitment in the Conservative manifesto that talks

about continuing means of support until the end of the parliament,

which is good news as we go into Brexit. That will have challenges

and opportunities and we need commitment in the shorter term in

transition to ensure farmers can respond. The Labour Party said they

will prioritise access to the European market for farmers. How

important is that for the British industry? Critical, any access from

a trade point of view is the most critical thing to this election and

beyond to Brexit. It affects everything, we are an exporter,

import driven industry and it affects the price of everything we

produce in terms of how we deal with competitors and everything else. In

terms of what the world might look like for the farming industry after

an election, does it make too much difference who get in or is it all

about the negotiations? Looking at the manifestos, it is critical to

the industry who does it get in and how they looked after us as a sector

and the wider economy. I think we need to enter Brexit with the

strongest negotiating position and the strongest government possible.

Immigration has been a big topic, whether it is people coming from

inside the European Union are outside the European Union. If there

was more restrictive labour for a labour force around the UK, put that

impact the farmers here? Yes, I was talking to a strawberry grower from

a farm just outside Bridgwater. He was talking about the fact he has a

labour force who have stuck with him for 14 years, 70 to 150 foreign

labour that he is reliant on to do his job for the retailers and to

continue to provide British strawberries at this time of the

year and beyond. Clearly, our access to labour will be crucial. Not just

within the core farming sectors but within the abattoir, the food and

manufacturing trade which is 108 billion to the economy in this

country, it all relies on a proportion of foreign labour. James,

lots of people want to see immigration reduced, is it possible

to have that and have the farming industry have the workers it needs?

That, I'm not so sure about. The UK economy is close to full employment

so there is a massive need for the level of unskilled labour. I am not

sure it will be easily settled within the UK. We have an ageing

population and that is not going to change our democratic Demi Moore. --

any more. We need some level of management of immigration. Thank you

very much. Over the morning I am here, look at these guys. What more

do you need to see in the morning when you are getting ready for a

show. I am not sure if these piglets are up for a prize today, the mother

might be. But all over the morning we will be having a look at all

these animals on display. There are thousands of livestock. It is

getting noisy. Although it has quietened down as they are eating

their Breakfast. But that is what you want to see, election next week,

never mind that! Bunch of piglets is all you need. Look at that!

Something relaxing looking at that. There is. Little wonder round, chat.

Shall we just leave it on them for a while.

We will go back to them later on. You're watching

Breakfast from BBC News. As Cardiff prepares to host

the biggest game in European football, we'll find out

about the massive security operation Hello this is Breakfast, with

Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty. The Prime Minister came under

repeated attack for not taking part, and there were heated exchanges over

immigration and cuts There is no payment you don't want

to add to, no tax you don't want to rise, but we have to concentrate

resources on people who need it most. Have you been to a food bank?

Good morning from Camley Park, a stone's throw from Kings Cross. It's

a beautiful start to the day. We are here because today the Wildlife

Trust launches its 30 days wild campaign which is encouraging

people, particularly those that live in cities, to get out and experience

the natural world we live in. The forecast today is a good one for

most. Dry with sunshine, however, there is rain coming in for Scotland

and Northern Ireland. We'll have more in about 15 minutes.

Theresa May will again put Brexit at the heart of the Conservative

campaign today as she faces continued criticism for failing

to take part in last night's television debate

The Conservatives were represented by the Home Secretary,

Amber Rudd in an event which saw heated exchanges

on a range of issues, as our political correspondent

With a week to go, this was a chance for all the parties

to pitch their offer to voters and, at the last minute, Jeremy Corbyn

Theresa May was ridiculed for staying away and it was left

to her Home Secretary to fend off the attacks on cuts

to Public Services, including disability benefits.

The Prime Minister can't be bothered. I'm not afraid to defend

my principles and values. It's the most important election in her

lifetime and then not even be bothered to come and debate the

issues at stake. It was left to her Home Secretary to fend off the

attacks in cuts to Public Services, including disability benefits.

I know there is no extra payment you don't want to add to,

no tax you don't want to rise, but the fact is, we have

to concentrate our resources on the people who need it most

and we have to stop thinking, as you do, that there's

I would just say this, since Amber Rudd seems

so confident this is a country at ease with itself.

Have you seen people sleeping around our stations?

For Amber to say this is a Government that cares

for the most vulnerable I think is downright insulting to the kind

of people that I see in my constituency surgery.

Tim Farron was keen to make the Liberal Democrats case

for staying in the single market after Brexit.

The Liberal Democrats have got a fully costed manifesto,

I'll tell you what though there is a long-term economic plan

underlying the whole of the Liberal Democrat manifesto,

and that is don't leave the European single market and throw away

?15 billion every single year in revenue.

While others clashed over immigration, Ukip suggesting Britain

would struggle to cope with rising numbers.

We have to get the population under control, because if we carry

on on the road we are on, we'll have a population

of 80 million by the middle of the century.

Ukip keep using this issue, they want to whip up people's

hatred, division and fear and that's why they talk about immigration.

I think this debate shames and demeans us all.

I don't think there's anyone in this room or anybody watching this debate

from Cornwall to Caithness who does not understand the positive

contribution that people have made to this land who've come

from the rest of Europe and the rest of the world

and demonising those people is totally unacceptable.

This was a crowded field with seven parties all

As the party in Government, it wasn't surprising

that the Conservatives came under sustained attack over their record.

Their response was to say that being in power requires

There were no clear winners in this debate but there

Our Political Correspondent is in Westminster for us. The absence of

Theresa May clouded that somewhat. But today is another day, what are

the big issues? Because there was no fallout really from the debate last

night, no gaffes, no knockout blows that were landed, no trump cards to

try to exploit today, it's just about returning to key messaging

today. Jeremy Corbyn benefitted from simply from turning up, because of

Theresa May's absence, rather than because of any punches that he

landed particularly effectively. I think the audience were quite

supportive of Jeremy Corbyn, but of course, there were plenty of attacks

from Amber Rudd about his economic policy, the Home Secretary who was

standing in for Theresa May. But I think the overwhelming take away

from last night's debate will be Theresa May's absence. It was a risk

for her not to turn up. Her opponents accuse her of holding

voters in contempt and of complacency. I think she judged it

was better to see above the fray. She'll return to one of the key

messages today, Brexit, she wants to say it's a great national mission,

only she will have the power, she has the capacity to get Brexit right

on behalf of Britain. Labour though also returning to safe ground,

talking about rail increases, promising to cap the rise in rail

fares and talking up their policy to renationalise the railways as

franchises expire. I think with just seven days to go, it's time to get

back to basics for both main parties. Thank you very much.

In just over an hour, we'll be speaking to

the Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson.

President Trump is due to announce later today whether he'll pull

the United States out of the Paris climate agreement.

in support of the deal, which pledges to cut global

He will announce his verdict, the President told his followers

whether they too should think about withdrawing.

America produces more in the way of greenhouse gases than any other

President Trump's tweet involving that word that we don't really know,

covfefe. A disgraced surgeon who carried out

unnecessary breast cancer operations on hundreds of patients is beginning

a 15 year jail sentence. Yesterday, Ian Paterson was

convicted at Nottingham Crown Court of 20 charges against 10 former

patients, but hundreds more underwent needless and invasive

procedures following his advice. We'll discuss this in a moment

with one of his former patients, but first let's have at look

at the facts in more detail. Yesterday Ian Paterson was sentenced

to 15 years imprisonment. He was found guilty of 17 Cowans of

wounding with intent and three of unlawful wounding. This was against

ten patients who he treated between 1997 and 2011 at a privately run

hospital. In sentencing Paterson, Mr Justice Jeremy Baker said: The

surgeon lost sight of the impact the procedures would have on his

patients, while trying to boost his reputation for his own gain and had

played on patients' fears by exaggerating or inventing the threat

of cancer. Outside the court, some of his former patients spoke about

their ordeal. I lost absolutely everything. He took everything away

from me and I'm still, up until today, this has been going on now

since the 90s and only today I've got justice. Throughout the trial,

he's made no attempt to show any remorse for his actions. And maybe

revealing his true character, rather than the charming professional man

we all thought he was. I'm still processing if I think 15 years is

enough for somebody who has shown no remorse, who's put his patients

through hell, if 15 years is enough. We're joined now by one

of Ian Paterson's former patients. Judy Conduit needlessly underwent

a double mastectomy. Jew Dirks you were in court

yesterday. What were your feeling seeing the sentence handed out? --

Judy. It was relief. Personally I didn't think the sentencing was long

enough for what he did to everybody. I think he should have got a life

sentence. But the judge made the decision of 15 years, but I think he

should serve that 15 years, I don't think he should be allowed out after

seven and a half. A lot of people made reference to the point that you

were there in court, about his lack of remorse, about his attitude that

seemed to carry on until the point that he was taken away from the

courtroom? Yes. I mean, he just sat there and, as the judge was reading,

he went through all the ten witnesses individually and what he'd

done to them, and he just sat there shaking his head. As if to say, what

are you on about, that's not me. Obviously it did have a huge

detrimentam impact on the people performing unnecessary surgeries.

You were one of those people who was, conned? Conned into this? Yes.

Wham what happened? You first realised you had some lumps in your

breast and so went to see your GP? I went to see my own GP and she

referred me to Spire, not to Mr Paterson directly, but when I rang

up, he was the first available appointment which I accepted. He

sort of conned me into believing that these lumps were what were no

known cause for these lumps, no known cure, very rare, I was only

the third person in his career that he'd ever come across with this

disease. But the other two ladies both finished up with mastectomies.

So straightaway, I was going down the line of thinking, well that's

where I'm heading. And what happened long-term? What happened? Well, I

think it was four operations that he did, during the course of the rest

of that year to remove lumps which he confirmed to me was a disease and

we got to the end of that process and he told me he couldn't remove

any more lumps, that I really needed to seriously consider having the

double mastectomy because it was the only way to control this disease. So

what ended up happening? You had this and more operational procedures

as well? I had the double mastectomy and immediate reconstructions after

each one. The first operation went fine, no problems at all. The second

operation, there was big problems with it. I developed a blood clot

next to the heart and they hadn't got the specific instrument to

remove the blood clot so at the time the surgeon who was doing the

operation with Mr Paterson sent to selly Steven Oak Hospital which was

then in Birmingham Dr -- Selly Oak Hospital in Birmingham. I was under

anaesthetic for hours. Be as clear as you can on this, what you know

now is that none of this was necessary, none of this whatsoever.

So in your head, how've you tried in any way to explain why he would have

done what he did to you? I can't. I don't know. I mean, I can think that

he was money motivated and I just think he'd got this God complex of

inventing putting the fake diseases and putting the fear of God in you,

knowing there was nothing there, doing the operation, and then

relishing in his mind in some sick way that he could come back and say

I've cured you. Do you get any sense now that there are safeguards in

place that would mean this couldn't happen again? Not at the moment but

I'm hoping that there's going to be a public inquiry if Jeremy Hunt gets

back in, if the Conservatives win the election and he's kept as Health

Minister, he's promised a public inquiry and I'm actually with

Thompson Solicitors who're launching a patients before profits so I would

like to see something put in place. And to think that if the people he'd

been reported to in the hospitals had taken notice, most of us this

wouldn't have happened to. Judy, thank you so much for coming

on and talking to us about what happened to you. We appreciate it.

Thank you. Carol is out this morning and has

found herself a beautiful place, an Oasis in the middle of a big city.

Carol. That is right, Charlie, I'm in the

centre of London at Camley Park Natural Park, it's two acres of

natural park. We have seen geese and Goslings wandering around. Behind me

you can see the pond, we have irises, it's really pretty. Yet on

the other side, life is starting in London as people make their way into

work. We have had joggers. It's busy over there. This is really a haven

of tranquility. If you have an allergy to pollen, the pollen levels

across England and Wales are high. The exception is across the north of

England where they're moderate and in Northern Ireland and Scotland

they're low. The themture currently in London is just above 13 and it's

not just in London, for most of us this morning it's a mild start. Now,

as we go through the course of the morning, we find any mist and fog

will lift quite readily in the next couple of hours and then most of us

will have a dry start with a fair bit of sunshine. In the sunshine,

the temperature will pick up quickly. Towards the west, we have a

weather front coming in. As that crosses Northern Ireland,

introducing stronger winds and also some heavier rain, it will push

east, getting into western Scotland through the course of the day. By

the afternoon, what we are looking at is that rain coming in across the

west of Scotland, making progress towards the east with cloud building

ahead of it. We'll see it get into the far north-west of England, just

the fringes. The rest of northern England stays dry. As we come south

through the Midlands to East Anglia, Essex and Kent, Hampshire and

towards the Isle of Wight, it will be a warm afternoon. In elight winds

we could have temperatures up to 26. Towards the south-west, through

Dorset, Somerset, Gloucestershire, Devon and Cornwall, a lot of dry

weather, a fair bit of sunshine. A bit more cloud coming in across the

extreme south-west ahead of the weather front. For Wales, a lot of

dry weather. We'll start to see some rain getting in across Anglesey and

the tip of north-west Wales at this stage. Northern Ireland, the rain

continues to drift through so we'll have a late improvement into the

west. Through the evening and overnight period, that rain will

continue to progress slowly south-east wards. Behind it,

there'll be some cloud and a few showers. Ahead of it, across England

and Wales, there'll be some clear skies, mist and fog patches forming.

In the south-east, it will be a sticky night. Any mist and fog will

readily clear tomorrow. As the front heads towards the south-east, it

will tend to weaken and fragment and turn more showery. We are pumping

out some very warm air into eastern England tomorrow. That could spark

off some showers and in East Anglia and the south-east there is the risk

of some of them turning thundery in nature. The other side of the rain

band, we are back into sunshine in fresher conditions. By the time we

get to Saturday, the weather front producing that rain clears into the

near continent, leaving us all in fresher conditions, not just for

Saturday but also for Sunday and both days we are likely to see a

mixture of sunshine and showers. Temperatures closer to where they

should be at this stage in June, Charlie and Naga. Looks marvellous

there. Just wonderful Carol, thanks so much. Have you got a little place

tucked away somewhere, like in your own back garden, a place where you

can go for some calm. Send us a picture.

Social media has reached everyone's lives and the campaigning hasn't

ignored that. Here is a selection of some of the ads you may have noticed

on your social media timelines from Labour, the Liberal Democrats and

the Conservatives. It's called microtargeting. We can learn a

little more about this from Jess Blair from the electoral reform

society. Good morning. A lot of people will have seen some of this,

or a lot of this messaging, whatever social media platforms they're on.

This is becoming more and more important? Yes, digital campaigning

is nothing new, but the levels of it we are seeing in this election have

grown exponentially. When people are on Facebook, they are liking things

daily and parties use that information to gather information

about you to target people with what they think they want to hear. How

effective is it, because there is a resistance to just general

advertising being targeted to us, you know, on our social media pages,

people resent that, so why wouldn't they resent it when it comes to

political campaigning? We don't know what the impact of dingical

campaigning -- digital campaigning is going to be in this election.

Trump in America spent up to $77 million per month on Facebook

advertising, so it will have a huge impact. With Trump's spending, did

that have a direct impact? We can't measure it exactly but it's bound to

have implicated the result somehow. Is the thinking that what you do is

hopefully have some kind of a profile of a person because of what

they do on social media, so you approach the people who might

already be on your side or, are you doing the thing they really need to

do, which is change people's votes, so do you deliberately target people

who you think probably aren't naturally your voters. What are they

doing? With Facebook now, you can do everything. It's not a bill board

that everyone sees in the street, parties have hundreds and hundreds

of adverts, different ones going to different people that they think

might impact the vote in a more strategic way. How much of the

resources are parties using? In terms of percentage-wise, how much

focus is there on social media campaigning, as opposed to dropping

leaflets through doors? I suspect it's going to grow more and more as

we hit the next election and this election but Labour and the

Conservatives are both spending over ?1 million this time around so it's

something that they are focussing more and more on. In a funny way,

looking at the images, the thinking behind it might be full of changing

the way thicks are done, the pictures and messages are

old-fashioned -- the way things are done. The messages haven't changed,

the way we use them have changed and the ability for parties to be much

more focussed, sending the messages they think voters might want to hear

that will change their minds. Is this one of the target areas

particularly for younger people? It's so dangerous to make

assumptions about who uses social media most because that's clearly

not the case any more, but maybe inevitably they would be thinking,

here is an avenue into people who won't have been watching say the

debate last night for example? We genuinely don't know. That is the

problem with this type of campaigning, the lack of

transparency, we don't know what the parties are saying and don't know

who they are targeting because the only people who see the ads are the

intended recipients. Thank you very much. Farmers from all over the

country are gathering at England's biggest ago cultural show and Sean

is there for us this morning. That is not Sean. Sean, where are you?

That is not me! I'm in Somerset, the biggest ago cultural show in

People are working hard. The reason we are here

is not just to the animals, but to see what we export. Any small

changes to the industry will affect that. Half a million jobs rely on

that, and the food on your plate, 60% of the food we eat in the UK

comes from farms in the UK. So, over the morning we'll look at that.

the start of the champions Trophy which is one of the biggest global

50 overs cricket event in the world, just behind the World Cup. Second in

terms of how prestigious it is. Eight of the best teams in the

world. They only ones allowed to compete. England are favourites and

we have never won a global 50 overs cricket tournament yet. Until now?

Possibly. Good morning everyone. England will begin

the Champions Trophy later this It's the biggest 50-over global

event outside of the World Cup with just the world's top

eight sides taking part. They begin their tournament

has a big chance of making history. We have put ourselves

in pressure situations before. The consistency of the side has been

impressive over the last two years. We knew there would be ups

and downs, but there hasn't been We are well ahead

of our progression. I think coming into the tournament

as one of the favourites Sam Warburton will captain

the British and Irish Lions in their opening match against

the Provincial Barbarians on Sunday. The flanker will play his first

game since suffering a knee injury in April,

lining up in an all-Welsh back-row. The Scottish trio of Greig Laidlaw,

Tommy Seymour and Stuart Hogg all start, as does Kyle Sinckler,

who has yet to start I was constantly panicking four

years ago when I was going to get a game and whether I was going

to pull through. Seeing other guys playing

for the first time for the Lions. An you envy that because you worked

so hard to achieve it. Now the ball is rolling

comeback to umpiring at the French Open this week,

and history almost repeated itself in the Rafa Nadal

v Robin Haaser match, this time from a loose shot

which had the umpire cowering This is the first time people picked

up the state pension, 1909. We're not going back to that,

but the talk is we will return to another feature, you had

to be much older. We've managed to track down,

in the West Midlands, are very rare example of an old-age

pension order from You take this in each week

to the post office and cash But you'd only qualify

if you were over 70 years of age. That's what we could

be going back to. So, could people now in their 20s

and their kids after them had to wait until 70 as well

to get the pension? That's a projection which was made

for ministers in March by the government actuaries

Department because life spans are I think everyone's living

longer now aren't they? So they're pushing it out,

getting people to work a bit longer. His generation are probably

going to have two were even I'm a nurse and they know that

I wouldn't have worked on the wards The projection was that someone

like Louise, who is 27, could have a pension age of 70 yet

still be likely to get the pension for the same proportion of her life

as people who've retired Gemma, who is 32, would

be waiting until 69. Karen, at 51-year-old grandmother

is already set to have It's entirely realistic that today's

20-year-olds won't get a state I think the problem is, some people

have a physical, stressful job. There has to be some mechanism

which allows them to work part-time and there has to be some mechanism

which allows them to take a pension earlier than the state pension age,

albeit a small and reduced pension. So, the younger you are, the more

the pension age is on the move. The Conservatives say

they'll ensure it reflects Labour rejects changes beyond 66 -

It'll have a review. The Lib Dems stick with current

policy, which means There's a law which forces

the government to reassess her when future generations

could get their pension. So whoever wins the election

will have to decide whether they dare make people

wait until 70. We can speak now to George Leeson,

who's co-director of the Oxford Institute

of Population Ageing. Thanks for talking to others. Most

people are aware there is a likelihood they will have to work

longer and at an older age, but I suppose what this is bringing up is

just how People are now expected to be living

way beyond 100 in some cases. What is a reasonable age then or a

reasonable expectation of how old we should be when we stop work? I think

the expectation in terms of stopping working is more to do with the

individual capabilities of being able to work and in one way we seem

to be fixed in a time warp where we worked in one job all our lives and

quite frankly for some very demanding jobs, the sooner we could

stop, the better. But that doesn't mean that we should stop working.

Remaining active for as long as possible, especially in these long

lives, is going to be crucial as we move forward through the 21st

century. So we are heading towards a pension crisis, many have said. How

do we tackle that? Well, are we heading towards a pension crisis?

Again if we keep things fixed the way we are, then yes we are. The

crisis arises because maybe our attitudes to where we'll get our

pension from need to change as well. I think it's completely unrealistic,

given our standard of living today and what we expect from life, that

the state should be able to provide an income that will provide that

standard of living. I think state pensions need to focus on the people

who really need them and the rest of us, and that's quite a large

proportion of us, the rest of us need to think of other ways of

supplementing our pension, one of which of course will be continuing

to work for much longer, something which our research here at the

University of Oxford shows people actually want to do if they are able

to do it. But what industries would be more open to that because you

have already mentioned some jobs physically you can't do when yer

you're older, so what industries would we see older people working?

Again, we've got to think outside that box of everything's going to

stay the same as it is today. I've just been to a festival listening to

lots of talks about artificial intelligence and robotics and on the

one hand we seem to fear that, on the other hand, as we know,

technologies will open up new jobs that we have no imagination about at

the moment. So again, I think we have to top thinking traditionally,

not just about when we stop working but where we are going to be

working. Thank you very much. Labour is

pledging to cap rail fares. President Trump will announce

whether he's pulling the US out of the Paris climate change agreement.

Carol is a hidel gem this morning. -- hidden gem. Carol is a hidden

gem. And she's in a hidel gem as well this morning in a beautiful

park but slap-bang in the middle of London. Morning, Carol. Good

morning. Charlie, you sweet-talking man!

It's lovely here this morning. I'm at Camley Street Natural Park a

stone's throw from Kings Cross. You may be able to hear the trains. The

reason I'm here is because today the Wildlife Trust launches its 30 days

wild. So who better to talk to than Lucy Robert who knows all about

that. Good morning. Good morning. What is 30 days wild? It's the UK's

month long challenge. It's simple. The Wildlife Trust challenge you to

do something wild every single day for 30 days throughout the month of

June and see if you feel happier and healthy for it. People in cities, we

know from research, they're craving wild experiences, this into be close

to nature and want Mornayture in their lives and now ways to help it.

That is what the campaign is about, inspiring random acts of wildness.

There was figures, something like 80% of people feel they don't get

into nature enough? So many people are disconnected. In this

technological world where people are busy running around, I'm the worst

cull April not getting out enough -- culprit. We know getting outside

makes you feel happier and healthier and we have worked with the

University of Derby to examine the effects of 30 days wild and the

impact. Those daily doses of nature have proven so important for the

kind of experiences you want to have and in making you feel just

wonderful about yourself and life. It is a lovely, tranquil haven and

just over there, we are back in London where it is so busy. It is an

mild start in London. In Blackpool it is 16 and around the borders it

is around 14. There will be a change in the weather coming in from the

West because we have a band of rain slowly moving into Northern Ireland

and then getting into western Scotland. The rain will be heavy

across Scotland this morning. Move away from that and the rest of the

UK is off to a beautiful start. Pollen levels are high across most

of England and Wales. This afternoon the rain will be getting into

Scotland in the West and into central areas and eastern Scotland

is seen cloud build. In northern England it is the extreme north-west

which will see the rain. The rest of northern England is dry. The

south-west will be sunny, dry and warm. Highs in London about 25 or 26

Celsius. The home counties down towards the Isle of Wight will be

dry and sunny. But a little bit more cloud starting to develop across the

extreme fringes of south-west England. For Wales, lot of dry

weather and the cloud building in from the north-west with the signs

of rain across Anglesey and the peninsula. And the rain moving away

from Northern Ireland so late afternoon brightness in the West. As

we head through the evening and overnight, the band of rain migrate

slowly south eastwards. The head of, there will be clear skies, mist and

fog patches forming and quite a sultry night in the south-east.

Behind the band of rain it will be fresh and one or two showers. We

start tomorrow with a few mist and fog patches and they will readily

lift and then we have a band of rain fragmenting as it continues its

journey heading in the direction of the south-east. Turning more

showery. We will have warm air from the continent across eastern England

which could spark off a few showers and they could be thundery. The

other side of the band on rain from northern England, Northern Ireland

and Scotland, it will be fresh. On Saturday the weather front will have

moved to the near continent and Saturday and Sunday, the forecast

will feel fresher, we will have sunshine and showers and

temperatures would be closer to where they should be at this stage

it in June. I know we were saying it earlier, but today being the 1st of

June is the start of the meteorological summer. The weather

is agreeing for once. From one oasis to another, because you have been

sending us pictures of beauty spots on your doorstep.

The first one is in icky in Worcester. She said her favourite

beauty spot... Look at that. Rachel sent us this

view from her window in Lewisham. She calls it her way sis of calm.

Frank has been in touch from Chorley. He says it is his favourite

beauty spot. It is his back garden. Just stepped outside, that is what

it looks like. You can tell that is loved, that back garden. Let's talk

farming, Sean is at one of the biggest farming shows in the

country. It is the Royal Barton and West show. Morning. Where are you?

One of these times we will start on me. This is Ruby, and Melody Slough.

She is very excited. -- sow. Lots of the pigs getting excited. 5000

livestock, some are more up for it than others. But some reason, this

one is having a snooze. Try not to disturb her. The farmers are getting

ready because it is a big day for the industry, it is worth about ?18

billion of exports to the economy. Also the dinner you get on your

plates, 60% of that is made in farms in the UK. Here are my little

friends. We will look at them later, but let's talk to Melanie and

Michael. Melanie, you are from the National Farmers' Union. Lots of

people showing off their animals, but what is the talk of the town

when it comes to the industry at the moment? The election next week,

combined with Brexit, whatever sector you are in, livestock or

indeed growing fruit and vegetables, we need to know what the future

holds. Brexit will affect our sector more than anything so we wanted to

talk to prospective candidates here at the show. We have been as well as

members about what the future holds and ensuring our candidates

understand how important our industry is. It provides the raw

material for 108 billion of the food sector in this country. It is very

important, but what is the key thing you want from these candidates, what

do you want them to be saying? We want assurances they will fight our

corner on trade and access to labour. Fighting is all well and

good, but what is the thing you want specifically, access to the European

Union? Yes, good trade negotiations that put food and farming at the

heart of the future to ensure future farmers can produce more food in the

coming years. Michael, you are a dairy farmer, has there been much of

an effect on your sector of farming since the vote to leave the European

Union? Currency has had a massive effect already in the dairy sector,

but going forward, a lot of uncertainty. Investment has come

from overseas. A lot of dairy products are exported. It has

created so much uncertainty and we will be able to write our own

domestic agricultural policy. The first time in my lifetime, but we

want one but is productive, profitable and sustainable. One of

the big things you get from the European Union when you are a member

of it is the subsidies for farmers. The Conservatives said they will

maintain that for a few years at least. The Labour Party said they

will prioritise access to Europe, are you happy with what the parties

have said? They all giving assurances, with the domestic

agricultural policy and there will be some transition and it is vital

we don't drop off a cliff edge because we need to compete. We are

comfortable with what they are saying, whether they will sit down

after the election and work constructively to come up with

something that actually takes a us forward. The common agricultural

policy in Europe will change, our money won't be going into the fog,

so their support system will change. But equally are as well. -- into the

part. Melanie, the noise is kicking off because it is feeding time, how

important is this event and events like this around the country? Are

they more important now that uncertainty is ahead? They have been

a phenomenal showcase of everything, food, drink, farming and everything

the countryside has two other. The role of Somerset countryside is

important, the tourism sector is worth over 20 billion to the

economy. So all of this is a showcase at this week it is half

term, great to see families out over the next few days and hopefully the

weather continues. We can show off what is good in our industry.

Hopefully the animals will get their grub soon. We will talk about the

different consequences, and it is feeding time at the moment. They

haven't got time to clean my shoes the way they were earlier. You can

feel the excitement building over the morning.

People earlier will have heard you say you were going to put oil on one

of the pigs. Will we see that, what is happening?
