:00:11. > :00:13.Tough talks at Downing Street as the Prime Minister meets

:00:14. > :00:16.with the DUP leader to try to reach a deal.

:00:17. > :00:18.The Prime Minister will host Arlene Foster to thrash out

:00:19. > :00:21.the terms of her party's backing for the minority government

:00:22. > :00:45.Taking their case to the European Court of Human Rights,

:00:46. > :00:48.the parents of baby Charlie Gard seek approval to take him to the US

:00:57. > :00:59.as the Attorney, General Jeff Sessions, gives evidence

:01:00. > :01:04.We're expecting to hear that the cost of living has gone up

:01:05. > :01:06.again, putting more pressure on household finances.

:01:07. > :01:13.In sport, Stuart Hogg is out of the Lions tour with injury.

:01:14. > :01:17.But Sam Warburton is back to captain them in their latest warm-up match,

:01:50. > :01:53.Theresa May will meet the leader of the Democratic Unionist Party,

:01:54. > :01:56.Arlene Foster, today, to thrash out the details of a deal

:01:57. > :01:59.that would secure their support for a minority Conservative government.

:02:00. > :02:01.Opposition parties have criticised the talks,

:02:02. > :02:04.with Sinn Fein suggesting a deal with the DUP would undermine

:02:05. > :02:08.Meanwhile, with Brexit talks due to begin in less than a week,

:02:09. > :02:11.the EU's chief negotiator Michel Barnier has called on Britain

:02:12. > :02:19.Our political correspondent, Ben Wright, has more.

:02:20. > :02:27.If the Arlene Foster, said it is a tremendous opportunity to work with

:02:28. > :02:31.the Tories. The Prime Minister knows a deal with the DUP is her only way

:02:32. > :02:37.to stay in power. Agreement will be reached probably today that suits

:02:38. > :02:42.both parties. A confidence and supply arrangement will give DUP

:02:43. > :02:47.support to the Tories on things like the budget and the Queen's Speech.

:02:48. > :02:54.This alliance leaves the government with a vulnerable majority of just

:02:55. > :02:59.six. But Theresa May now looks more safe in her job after a meeting with

:03:00. > :03:03.Tories yesterday evening. She apologised for the disastrous

:03:04. > :03:07.campaign, declaring I got us into this mess and I will get us out of

:03:08. > :03:12.it. We have to be pragmatic about what is introduced, how it is

:03:13. > :03:16.introduced. We have to work harder to bring people along with us, both

:03:17. > :03:24.inside the Conservative Party and beyond. While Theresa May tries to

:03:25. > :03:27.rebuild the Parliament from a hung parliament, there is a warning from

:03:28. > :03:33.the EU that Britain is wasting valuable time negotiating Brexit.

:03:34. > :03:38.More than two months have passed since she handed in the notice, but

:03:39. > :03:42.no talks have happened. There is a two-year deadline to hammer out a

:03:43. > :03:46.deal. Speaking to the Financial Times, Michel Barnier, the EU

:03:47. > :03:51.negotiator, said they needed a negotiating team with a mandate soon

:03:52. > :03:58.because the Brexit process would be extraordinarily complex. Theresa May

:03:59. > :04:02.is also facing calls from some Tory MPs and Labour to rethink her Brexit

:04:03. > :04:10.plan. Exactly the uncertainty she wanted the election to stop. Ben

:04:11. > :04:11.Wright, BBC News, Westminster. Our political correspondent,

:04:12. > :04:13.Chris Mason, is in Westminster Chris, when can we expect

:04:14. > :04:21.a deal to be announced? You have a piece of paper with you.

:04:22. > :04:29.Yes. Over the past few weeks I have tried to make it a short time

:04:30. > :04:35.tradition to wave around pieces of paper like the manifestoes. This is

:04:36. > :04:40.goatskin parchment paper. In all of this turmoil, something like this is

:04:41. > :04:44.relevant? Well, the Queen's Speech, the government's programme for

:04:45. > :04:48.government, is set out on this. So when they go into the archive for

:04:49. > :04:53.hundreds of years, it does not deteriorate and can still be read.

:04:54. > :05:07.The twist is you have to commit this three days in advance to dry. There

:05:08. > :05:13.will be some horse-trading with DUP about what the plan is. That is one

:05:14. > :05:16.of the delayed. The other delayed is this, the parchment paper, meaning

:05:17. > :05:22.the Queen's Speech is likely to be pushed back by a couple of days we

:05:23. > :05:26.still have not got a date for that. I am told no goats are actually

:05:27. > :05:31.used, sacrifice, in the creation of this paper. Very good news. I don't

:05:32. > :05:36.want any goat sacrificing at half past six. That was going to be my

:05:37. > :05:47.first question. Epic, Chris. Thank you. I am afraid my goat parchment

:05:48. > :05:49.hasn't dried. What an excuse! We'll be speaking to newly appointed

:05:50. > :05:51.Environment Secretary, The European Court of Human Rights

:05:52. > :05:55.will rule later today on whether doctors treating

:05:56. > :05:57.ten-month-old Charlie Gard can turn His parents want to take their son,

:05:58. > :06:02.who is terminally ill with a rare genetic disorder, to the US

:06:03. > :06:04.for experimental treatment. But last week, the UK Supreme Court

:06:05. > :06:07.agreed with specialists at Great Ormond Street Hospital

:06:08. > :06:10.that he should be allowed Our medical correspondent,

:06:11. > :06:17.Fergus Walsh, reports. Charlie Gard cannot see, hear,

:06:18. > :06:20.move, cry, or swallow. He is seriously brain

:06:21. > :06:24.damaged and kept His parents, Chris Gaard

:06:25. > :06:31.and Connie Yates, have raised ?1.3 million through crowd funding

:06:32. > :06:33.for experimental treatment They say they simply want

:06:34. > :06:42.the best for their son. We know that even if it doesn't

:06:43. > :06:53.work, which I think it will, we know that we have done everything

:06:54. > :06:56.that we can for him. But doctors, including

:06:57. > :06:58.independent experts, say the treatment cannot

:06:59. > :07:00.improve his condition. One concern is that Charlie

:07:01. > :07:02.may experience pain, Lask week, the UK Supreme Court said

:07:03. > :07:07.that while it had the utmost sympathy for his parents,

:07:08. > :07:15.it was not in Charlie's interests to subject him to futile treatment

:07:18. > :07:21.at the European Court of Human Rights in

:07:22. > :07:24.Strasbourg will consider written

:07:25. > :07:26.evidence in the case. If they decide to take on the issue,

:07:27. > :07:29.a full hearing will be If not, then the parents' legal

:07:30. > :07:33.battle to take their son abroad will be over,

:07:35. > :07:38.free to switch off Charlie's ventilator and provide

:07:39. > :07:39.only palliative care. And we will be talking to an expert

:07:40. > :07:56.on ethics on that in half an hour. The US Attorney General,

:07:57. > :07:59.Jeff Sessions, will give evidence to a Senate committee today

:08:00. > :08:01.about alleged Russian interference in last year's

:08:36. > :08:42.has become strained in recent weeks. At one point, he reportedly offered

:08:43. > :08:46.to resign. Today, he will face tough questions and may refuse to answer.

:08:47. > :08:50.He will be asked to explain his role in the firing of James Comey, the

:08:51. > :08:54.FBI chief who gave evidence to the committee last week. If, as the

:08:55. > :08:58.president said, I was fired because of the Russian investigation, why

:09:15. > :09:18.Democrats on the committee will be pressing Jeff Sessions to clarify

:09:19. > :09:22.all of the statement he made during his confirmation hearing in January.

:09:23. > :09:28.He said then that as an adviser to Donald Trump, he did not discuss

:13:30. > :13:34.the All Blacks being scared of the Lions. I can't, can I? You can. They

:13:35. > :13:37.actually aren't bothered at all. They have been calm and confident.

:14:41. > :14:58.I mentioned the All Blacks. Think of the great All Black players. The

:14:59. > :15:02.best has to be Dan Carter. He had an interview this morning in The

:15:03. > :15:06.Telegraph. He is getting more optimistic about the Lions saying

:15:07. > :15:12.they are over the jetlag. It is looking good. Dan Carter basically

:15:13. > :15:17.says, they are not. He is a lovely man. He is not being too

:15:18. > :15:22.provocative. He is saying they are not skilled enough and don't have

:15:23. > :15:28.the edge. They are overaggressive. He believes the All Blacks are just

:15:29. > :15:34.too strong for the side of the Lions. It is so important. Thank

:15:35. > :15:40.you. Will you hang around for the papers? I have won more. Keep

:16:34. > :16:38.in his bee suit. The forecast today is one of patchy rain, mostly in the

:16:39. > :16:46.north and we have an north, south split. Assistant rain in the West.

:16:47. > :16:50.Dry in the east. Patchy rain moving from the West to the east. Further

:16:51. > :16:56.south, a bit of cloud around. Some of it is low cloud across parts of

:16:57. > :17:00.the Midlands but also a fair bit of sunshine across East Anglia and

:17:01. > :17:06.heading down through London and generally into the south-east. As we

:17:07. > :17:09.drift south-west, again, advice out. There is some clout particularly

:17:10. > :17:15.around the areas adjacent to the Irish Sea of that we are back into

:17:16. > :17:20.sunshine and patchy rain. A bit more cloud close to the coast. For

:17:21. > :17:26.Northern Ireland, some showery outbreaks is the day. As we go

:17:27. > :17:30.through the course of the day, Northern Ireland, northern England

:17:31. > :17:34.and Scotland, the rain will turn more patchy in nature as it moves

:17:35. > :17:38.from the West to the east. There will be quite a bit of cloud around

:17:39. > :17:41.today but we will see some of its breakup and in the sunshine,

:17:42. > :17:46.temperatures will respond nicely after the chilly start. It won't be

:17:47. > :17:53.as windy as it was yesterday. Temperatures could get up to 22 or

:17:54. > :17:58.24 in London and then in the north, 19 in Aberdeen and in Newcastle.

:17:59. > :18:03.Through this evening and overnight, a lot of dry weather around and a

:18:04. > :18:07.lot of dry spells. Nothing too problematic and we will have some

:18:08. > :18:12.heavy showers for a time across northern England and southern

:18:13. > :18:18.Scotland. Also some showers are cross the north-west. Temperatures

:18:19. > :18:23.roughly 10- 15 Celsius. Tomorrow, we will hang on to some showers across

:18:24. > :18:28.the north-west at for many of us, it will be at belter of a day if you

:18:29. > :18:36.like it sunny and warm. Temperatures could get up to 26 and 28 around the

:18:37. > :18:42.sea -- south-eastern corner but widely 22- 24. For Scotland and

:18:43. > :18:46.Northern Ireland 18- 21. As we move on into Thursday, still a lot of dry

:18:47. > :18:51.weather around and still some sunshine but on Thursday itself, we

:18:52. > :18:56.have a weather front coming in from the West. That will introduce patchy

:18:57. > :18:59.rain and behind it, fresher conditions. It doesn't mean the

:19:00. > :19:06.temperature will plummet that it will come down from what we have

:19:07. > :19:10.been used to. If you like it warm, tomorrow is the day for you. Thank

:19:11. > :19:28.you, carols. We are going to do some coffee. --

:19:29. > :19:36.we are going to do the papers after some coffee. This is made a farce be

:19:37. > :19:42.with you. That is on the front page of the Daily Mirror with Theresa May

:19:43. > :19:49.mocked up as Princess Leia. The Daily Express is talking about

:20:56. > :21:07.Mr Michael Gove. Mr goat? No, Gove! Over to the USENET news. Stop making

:21:08. > :21:11.me laugh. -- business news. A story about which airports have come out

:21:12. > :21:16.worse. Three British airports have been rated a month the ten worst in

:21:17. > :21:20.the world. Not just in Europe but in the world. They are Gatwick,

:21:21. > :21:26.Manchester and Edinburgh. They did an analysis based on the quality of

:21:30. > :21:35.unfortunately, we have three that came pretty badly. In other news:

:21:50. > :21:54.Doghouses. That big one is ?170,000. Oh, come on! I know. That is the

:21:55. > :22:02.price of a house. The fanciest is ?170,000. I would happily live in it

:23:05. > :23:10.because I haven't eaten toast. Now, after the last few days,

:23:11. > :23:13.this morning we are calming things down a little - so let's

:23:14. > :23:16.take a breath and relax. With all the early mornings,

:23:20. > :23:23.to bed can sometimes Yet, as the BBC's Terrific

:24:04. > :24:06.going forward had on sleep But the results are not

:24:07. > :24:16.what they expected. This is how they tested

:39:16. > :39:17.Nottingham, a member of the Institute of Medical Ethics'

:39:18. > :39:25.Research Committee and lecturer We have spoken to you. We have

:39:26. > :39:30.spoken to you throughout this case. Good morning. What is the latest,

:39:31. > :39:37.what will happen today? Today it is really the final straw for the

:39:38. > :39:43.parents. They are seeking the help of the European Court of Human

:39:44. > :39:53.Rights. Last Thursday, we heard The Supreme Court were going to refuse

:39:54. > :39:58.permission to appeal. These said it was no arguable case here. They

:39:59. > :40:06.confirmed previous court that may be right decision. Now it is being

:40:07. > :40:09.taken outside of our jurisdiction to Strasbourg and is focusing on the

:40:10. > :40:14.human rights of the parties to see whether there is any legal argument

:40:15. > :40:19.that can be made to allow Charlie's parents to take him over to the US

:40:20. > :40:27.for the treatment they want him to have. Explain if you can, this is

:40:28. > :40:31.such a difficult case. What are they considering? The human rights of

:40:32. > :40:35.Charlie? Everyone has human rights. We are all protected by the European

:40:36. > :40:41.Convention on Human Rights within our jurisdiction. That is what can

:40:42. > :40:48.apply to both Charlie and the parents. What is likely to be looked

:40:49. > :40:55.at is a right to private and family life. What is difficult is the

:40:56. > :40:59.parents have that bright and so does Charlie. -- right. The court has to

:41:00. > :41:05.balance which won outweighs the other. We already were told last

:41:06. > :41:11.Thursday by Lady Hale and The Supreme Court that when you have

:41:12. > :41:14.this balancing of human rights between parents and the child, the

:41:15. > :41:20.child's writes should always be given more weight because they are

:41:21. > :41:25.more vulnerable. -- rights. They need people to speak on their

:41:26. > :41:31.behalf. So, it, again, should be like the domestic courts have done,

:41:32. > :41:35.being focused on Charlie and his interests, that being at the centre

:41:36. > :41:41.of it. But it does balance with the rights of the parents. That is like

:41:42. > :41:46.what the European court will be looking at today. It has been a long

:41:47. > :41:51.legal process. Could this be the end of the legal process today? Yes.

:41:52. > :41:58.This could be the end of the legal process for this case. The case has

:41:59. > :42:03.been through all of the UK courts now. So, back in May, we heard the

:42:04. > :42:08.Court of Appeal decision last week, we had the comment from The Supreme

:42:09. > :42:13.Court he refused to hear the case. And they are now taking this to the

:42:14. > :42:19.European court on human rights, the last legal option. After that, the

:42:20. > :42:23.parents have exhausted all legal options that can help themis a

:42:24. > :42:30.really important day for that family. Absolutely. I know I have

:42:31. > :42:34.asked you before, does it have implications, do you think, wider

:42:35. > :42:38.implications, or not? It could have applications for other cases. But

:42:39. > :42:43.what we have to remember is that every case is dealt with on a

:42:44. > :42:48.case-by-case basis. So, when we are dealing with human life, medical

:42:49. > :42:52.treatment, and particularly children, there needs to be a fairly

:42:53. > :42:58.flexible approach so that each case can be looked at on its own unique

:42:59. > :43:07.facts. So, while this may be something that is looked at in

:43:08. > :43:11.future cases, it is unlikely the circumstances will be the same

:43:12. > :43:16.exactly as they are here because Charlie's edition is so rare in the

:43:17. > :43:22.circumstances are so rare in the funding the parents have received.

:43:23. > :43:29.-- condition. OK to be thank you very much. Talking to us again from

:43:30. > :43:33.the Institute of Political Ethics. And we will keep you up-to-date on

:43:34. > :43:38.that. It is quarter to seven. The main stories on Tuesday morning. The

:43:39. > :43:42.DUP leader, Arlene Foster, will go to Downing Street today to reach a

:43:43. > :43:46.deal with the government. It is expected she will seek more

:43:47. > :43:51.investment in Northern Ireland. And as we have been hearing, parents of

:43:52. > :43:55.the 10-month-old Charlie Gard will find out today if the European Court

:43:56. > :43:57.of Human Rights will help in their battle to take into the for

:43:58. > :44:12.treatment. -- him to the US for. Do you fancy a nose around someone

:44:13. > :44:14.else's garden? I love looking at someone else's garden. That is what

:44:15. > :44:21.Carol is doing this morning. Good morning. You are right as

:44:22. > :44:30.always. I am in Cannes Eden Park in London. It is fab. It has raised

:44:31. > :44:36.beds, wildflowers, beehives as well. Later on we will show you a hidden

:44:37. > :44:41.beehives. It is in the trunk of a tree with a glass panel. You can see

:44:42. > :44:46.what they are up to this morning in there. There are roughly 700,000 of

:44:47. > :44:52.them are 14 queens as well. And they form colonies as well, as we have

:44:53. > :44:56.seen pictures in the news this morning of as well. The forecast is

:44:57. > :45:02.good. Sunshine already. Temperatures picking up nicely. The forecast is a

:45:03. > :45:06.north- south and east. In the north, cloud and patchy rain. The south,

:45:07. > :45:09.sunny and pleasantly warm. Not as windy as yesterday. Starting the

:45:10. > :45:14.forecast in Scotland at nine o'clock. We had some rain. The

:45:15. > :45:21.potential for heavy rain in the west. In the east, it is dry. Patchy

:45:22. > :45:30.rain in northern England. Further south, some low cloud around.

:45:31. > :45:34.Equally, sunshine as well. Sunshine across East Anglia, Kent, southern

:45:35. > :45:41.counties as well. Close to the coast, the south-west, the Irish

:45:42. > :45:46.Sea, it is a little bit more cloudy. Inland, brighter skies. Patchy rain

:45:47. > :45:50.in North Wales as well this morning. The same for Northern Ireland.

:45:51. > :45:54.Through the course of the day, all of that rain will increasingly turn

:45:55. > :46:00.more patchy in nature as it moves from the west in the direction to

:46:01. > :46:05.the east. Because it is cloudy, some will not see it and it will be dry.

:46:06. > :46:10.Between showers, sunshine. Cloud further south. It will break up in

:46:11. > :46:23.parts. Quite a lot of sunshine to the south. Temperatures today up to

:46:24. > :46:28.24 degrees at best and 19 in Newcastle. Overnight, we hang on to

:46:29. > :46:32.showers, heavier ones in northern England and southern Scotland. Like

:46:33. > :46:35.the ones in the north-west of the country. Mist and fog patches

:46:36. > :46:41.forming as well, especially in the south-west of England. With

:46:42. > :46:44.temperatures, 10- 15. Tomorrow, we hang on to showers in the

:46:45. > :46:48.north-west. For most of the UK, a lot of dry weather and a lot of

:46:49. > :46:56.sunshine tomorrow. The temperatures will respond quite nicely.

:46:57. > :47:04.Temperatures in the south-east, East Anglia, 26- 28. Widely, 22- 24 with

:47:05. > :47:10.a few exceptions. UV levels tomorrow in particular will be high. Pollen

:47:11. > :47:14.levels for the next few days will be high - very high. Thursday, a lot of

:47:15. > :47:19.dry weather once again the study date to be a fair bit of sunshine. A

:47:20. > :47:26.weather front from the west. Patchy rain. Behind that, fresh conditions.

:47:27. > :47:29.Temperatures will not climate. A bit away than it will be through the

:47:30. > :47:39.course of today and tomorrow. Back to you. Thank you.

:47:40. > :47:45.Do they know that you are in their back garden? The owners? They

:47:46. > :47:54.definitely do because they have made me tea already. A couple of key,

:47:55. > :47:55.that will do. Thank you, Carol. --A cup of tea.

:47:56. > :47:57.Official inflation figures are published later this morning

:47:58. > :47:59.and it could be bad news for households.

:48:00. > :48:08.This is all about the squeeze on households, finances and the fact

:48:09. > :48:11.that inflation is going up and wages aren't kinky -- aren't keeping up.

:48:12. > :48:13.The figures that measure the cost of living

:48:14. > :48:16.are published every month by the Office for National

:48:17. > :48:20.They're based on the changing price of a shopping basket of hundreds

:48:21. > :48:24.goods and services that people typically spend their money on.

:48:25. > :48:26.The last figures showed inflation standing at 2.7pc.

:48:27. > :48:28.That was the highest since September 2013.

:48:29. > :48:32.One of the biggest factors for this rise has been the fall in the value

:48:33. > :48:35.of the pound - making it more expensive to buy things abroad.

:48:36. > :48:39.Since the vote to leave the EU the pound has fallen nearly 17pc

:48:40. > :48:41.against the euro and 16pc against the dollar.

:48:42. > :48:43.On top of this wages haven't been keeping up -

:48:44. > :48:47.going up only by 2% - which means many people will feel

:48:48. > :49:02.Maike Currie is from the investment firm, Fidelity International.

:49:03. > :49:08.The main thing for this is all about the currency markets at the moment

:49:09. > :49:12.and the fact it is making our imports more expensive, isn't it?

:49:13. > :49:17.The weaker pound is the factor here. The UK import a lot of goods. If you

:49:18. > :49:21.go into the supermarket and you are buying fresh fruit and vegetables

:49:22. > :49:25.and look on the packaging, a lot of it is imported. The fact that the

:49:26. > :49:32.currency, the pound, is weaker, the costs are being fed through to the

:49:33. > :49:35.consumer, to people like me and you. Because wages aren't going up, it

:49:36. > :49:41.means our real incomes are getting weaker. Each month, as it was by, we

:49:42. > :49:51.are getting progressively poorer. Why are wages not going up as fast

:49:52. > :49:55.as the rise of the cost of living? Since the financial crisis of the

:49:56. > :50:00.last ten years, our earnings have been weak. The problem is because

:50:01. > :50:04.prices have gone up, in the past, we haven't had these massive price

:50:11. > :50:15.of companies reluctant to invest and push up prices. It doesn't give the

:50:16. > :50:21.worker are lots of bargaining power to negotiate a wage increase. What

:50:22. > :50:25.is interesting with the economics behind things like inflation, when

:50:26. > :50:29.it tends to go up and get past a certain point, the of England put up

:50:30. > :50:34.interest rates to calm down spending but that is unlikely to happen as

:50:35. > :50:37.well, we have heard. The Bank of England doesn't want to derail what

:50:38. > :50:41.is already a wonky recovery and now we have this conversation of the

:50:42. > :50:47.prices going up, wages going nowhere and interest rates Rock bottom. If

:50:48. > :50:51.you are a borrower, good news. You know your mortgage will stay low. If

:50:52. > :50:58.you are a saver or a retiree relying on something like something that is

:50:59. > :51:03.not guaranteed if you didn't opt for protection against inflation, as

:51:04. > :51:06.time rolls by, you will get less. It really is concerning. That is where

:51:07. > :51:12.you get the squeeze on household finances. The pressure is on. What

:51:13. > :51:18.about the long-term picture? Is this a short-term issue, do you think?

:51:19. > :51:24.Will it continue? Will we see prices going up faster than wages? Last

:51:25. > :51:27.week's inconclusive election result hasn't helped. The pound is the

:51:28. > :51:31.barometer for uncertainty in the wider economy. The chances of the

:51:32. > :51:36.pound strengthening isn't there and we also see oil prices would affect

:51:37. > :51:41.the price of petrol. Oil prices have been weak that they are picking up

:51:42. > :51:48.slowly. Inflation isn't going away. We are at 2.7%. There are economists

:51:49. > :51:52.that predict 3%. That is far from their target 2% rate which the Bank

:51:53. > :51:56.of England aims for when the economy isn't too hot and cold. It really

:51:57. > :52:01.means that you actually have to get your money to work harder for you.

:52:02. > :52:04.You can't leave it in cash because you are actually losing money. You

:52:05. > :52:09.have got to look towards the stock market or you can, over long-term,

:52:10. > :52:10.get some growth in investments. There are risks associated with

:52:11. > :52:14.that, of course as well. From Gospel singing to a capella,

:52:56. > :53:01.Explain Pitch Battle. It is a vocal groups, amazing vocal groups, they

:53:02. > :53:05.read vocal groups from gospel choirs to a cappella, competing, basically,

:54:11. > :54:15.own audience with... # Chaka Khan, Chaka Khan. First time

:54:16. > :54:24.I have met you and you have a gold band. Digger that!

:54:25. > :54:34.# I feel for you, I think I love you. They think it is an language of

:54:35. > :54:43.angels. It is how angels communicate. Ago around the world

:54:44. > :54:48.and I feel for you, everyone knows the song. Pitch Battle is based on

:54:49. > :54:53.the pitch perfect movies, famous for their roof offers between choirs. A

:54:54. > :54:59.third film in the series will be released later this year. -- riff

:55:00. > :55:03.offs. They were singing throughout history and then people saying less

:55:04. > :55:06.when recorded music came around. Then people getting made fun of in

:55:07. > :55:12.TV shows and everybody thinks they can't think that we can. Like birds,

:55:13. > :55:15.crickets and Wales, we are hardwired to sing. Hopefully this show will

:55:16. > :55:22.inspire people as well is entertained. Being in choirs all

:55:23. > :55:26.their lives for the judges. Bello I grew up in a church and then I was

:55:27. > :55:33.in a girl group in high school so I actually spent pretty much in yeah.

:55:34. > :55:39.Now that I think about it, yeah. This guy is Mr choirs. I am. Thank

:55:40. > :55:44.you for reminding her because nobody has said it for about 15 minutes.

:55:45. > :55:45.Thanks for coming. Pitch Battle commences on Saturday.

:55:46. > :55:52.Pitch Battle is on Saturday at 7.30pm on BBC One.

:55:53. > :55:59.You would like anything Gareth Malone is involved in. I am bad at

:56:00. > :59:19.singing but I love singing. It looks like a cracker.

:59:20. > :59:20.Now, though, it's back to Dan and Louise.

:59:21. > :59:57.This is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

:59:58. > :00:01.Tough talks at Downing Street as the Prime Minister meets

:01:53. > :01:56.Theresa May will meet the leader of the Democratic Unionist Party,

:01:57. > :02:00.Arlene Foster, today - to thrash out the details of a deal

:02:35. > :02:39.The Prime Minister knows a deal with the DUP is her only way

:03:11. > :03:16.into this mess and I will get us out of it.

:03:17. > :03:19.There is a reality that says we have to be pragmatic

:03:20. > :03:24.We have to work harder to try to bring people along

:03:25. > :03:26.both inside the Conservative Party and

:03:27. > :03:37.While Theresa May tries to rebuild a government from the hung

:03:38. > :03:41.parliament, there is a warning from the EU that the UK is wasting

:03:42. > :03:44.More than two months have passed since Theresa May handed

:03:45. > :03:52.There is a 2-year deadline to hammer out a Brexit deal.

:03:53. > :03:54.Speaking to the Financial Times, Michel Barnier, the EU

:03:55. > :03:57.negotiator, said they needed a negotiating team with a mandate

:04:00. > :04:07.Theresa May is also facing calls from some Tory

:04:08. > :04:09.MPs and Labour to rethink her Brexit plan.

:04:10. > :04:12.Exactly the uncertainty she wanted the election to stop.

:04:13. > :04:18.Our political correspondent Chris Mason is in Westminster

:04:19. > :04:25.Chris, when can we expect a deal to be announced?

:04:26. > :04:33.Winner the Queen's speech has been delayed. But you always have an

:04:34. > :04:37.interesting prop as well. I was waving around the party manifestoes

:04:38. > :04:43.during the campaign but I traded one form of paper for another. This is

:04:44. > :04:49.goatskin parchment paper. The kind of stuff that is used to think on

:04:50. > :04:53.the Queen's speech. Why does this matter? This kind of paper is used

:04:54. > :04:57.to ensure the Queen's speech, when it disappears off to the archives,

:04:58. > :05:03.survives the years of history but the choices, for the into dry, it

:05:04. > :05:07.takes a while. Normally that would not be an issue because after a

:05:08. > :05:10.general election, a Queen's speech would be prepared for the parties

:05:11. > :05:13.that could conceivably win but because we are in minority

:05:14. > :05:18.government territory and the Conservatives are talking with the

:05:19. > :05:21.Democratic Unionist Party, exactly what their programme for government

:05:22. > :05:25.actually as is still being hammered out and so government sources say

:05:26. > :05:31.that is one reason why the Queen's speech might be delayed. One form of

:05:32. > :05:35.Parliamentary archivist raised a sceptical eyebrow about that but the

:05:36. > :05:38.government insists that is one reason among the negotiations as to

:05:39. > :05:44.why the programme for government might be a day or two later. I know

:05:45. > :05:46.you will be watching closely, hang on to the paper. Very costly, that

:05:47. > :05:47.paper. We'll be speaking to newly appointed

:05:48. > :05:50.Environment Secretary, The European Court of Human Rights

:05:51. > :05:54.will rule later today on whether doctors treating

:06:59. > :07:01.we know that we have done everything that we can for him.

:07:02. > :07:02.But doctors, including independent experts,

:07:03. > :07:04.say the treatment cannot improve his condition.

:07:05. > :07:06.One concern is that Charlie may experience pain,

:07:07. > :07:11.Lask week, the UK Supreme Court said while it had the utmost

:12:22. > :12:24.running personality clash with Theresa May -

:12:25. > :12:27.the former Justice Secretary, Michael Gove, was consigned

:12:28. > :12:33.to the Commons' backbenches. Yet, in this week's cabinet

:12:34. > :12:36.reshuffle he has returned to frontline politics in the role

:12:37. > :12:38.of Environment Secretary. Mr Gove joins us now

:12:39. > :12:47.from Westminster. Good morning to you.

:12:48. > :12:54.Congratulations. You are back from the sack. How much of a surprise was

:12:55. > :12:58.a dig the call? I was really surprised. I was at home in my

:12:59. > :13:03.constituency enjoying the sunshine when I've got a call inviting me to

:13:04. > :13:08.come in and at first I thought this was the return of Don Jill -- Tom

:13:09. > :13:12.Jolly in trigger-happy TV. I was flattered and delighted to be

:13:13. > :13:17.invited to rejoin the government. It's great to be part of Theresa

:13:18. > :13:21.May's team and to be able to support the Prime Minister. Are you

:13:22. > :13:26.surprised yourself? Many have been asking why. Tom Watson is suggesting

:13:27. > :13:31.it's been suggested to him, that Rupert Murdoch was the man who has

:13:32. > :13:36.been lobbying to get you back on the front bench. The thing about Tom who

:13:37. > :13:44.is deputy leader of the Labour Party has a role in initiating political

:13:45. > :13:49.mischief, sees Rupert Murdoch's can find everything. He thinks he picks

:13:50. > :13:53.the England cricket 11 and the first 15 rugby as well is deciding who is

:13:54. > :13:59.on Britain's Got Talent. We think this is part of the course for Tom.

:14:00. > :14:03.You're back on the front bench at a time when your party is in perhaps

:14:04. > :14:10.the worst trouble we have seen the Conservatives in for some time. I

:14:11. > :14:14.think it's important to get the general election in context. The

:14:15. > :14:22.Conservatives got 40% or more of the vote. But... Just a second. You say

:14:23. > :14:25.that but your leader called an early general election specifically

:14:26. > :14:34.because she wanted an increased mandate to organise Brexit talks.

:14:35. > :14:37.She did not get that. I was trying to give a balanced approach but you

:14:38. > :14:43.wanted to jump in there. The second point is, we underestimated some of

:14:44. > :14:50.the reasons behind Labour support and it's important that we do two

:14:51. > :14:54.things. One, that we form a government which is capable of

:14:55. > :14:57.carrying through the public's wishes, including leaving the

:14:58. > :15:02.European Union and we reflect on the fact that we did not get the

:15:03. > :15:08.majority we wanted to say we need to be listening mode to appreciate what

:15:09. > :15:13.concerns of the public are. Given what happened with Boris Johnson and

:15:14. > :15:18.you were accused of many of knifing him in the back, what is your

:15:19. > :15:24.relationship with him like? Have you spoken? What has been said? Boris

:15:25. > :15:28.and I smoke on the week -- spoke on the weekend. He was kind enough to

:15:29. > :15:31.welcome me back to the Cabinet with a very generous tweet and we were

:15:32. > :15:37.chatting in the margins of Cabinet and it's great to be back as part of

:15:38. > :15:47.Theresa May's team alongside Boris and many other talented people.

:15:48. > :15:58.Had to ask you about the union with the DUP. Sure you've heard of the

:15:59. > :16:01.concerns of others whether the government can be independent and

:16:02. > :16:14.hold hands with the DUP at the same time. Bello of course. -- of course.

:16:15. > :16:18.The British government's role is to get devolution back up and running

:16:19. > :16:21.in Northern Ireland. If we are going to make sure that Northern Ireland

:16:22. > :16:24.is well governed then we need to make sure there are representatives

:16:25. > :16:29.from all communities and all traditions involved in the assembly.

:16:30. > :16:36.Are you a supporter of power-sharing? In 2016 you are asked

:16:37. > :16:39.to defend remarks you made about the Good Friday agreement saying he

:16:40. > :16:45.wouldn't have negotiated that way. Had concerned that the time. I think

:16:46. > :16:51.the success of the peace process has shown that they were amply

:16:52. > :16:59.vindicated. Thank you for clearing up that part of it. I want to talk

:17:00. > :17:04.to you about about Brexit as well. The government has appointed a

:17:05. > :17:10.negotiating team that is stable and with a mandate. Will you say that

:17:11. > :17:15.your party is currently none of those? No. I think we have very

:17:16. > :17:20.clear mandate. There was a vote last year and 50% of the people voted for

:17:21. > :17:27.us to leave the EU and take control of the Borders, laws and trade and

:17:28. > :17:31.money. We have in David Davis are supremely accomplished statement but

:17:32. > :17:35.will that be negotiating on our behalf and it is also the case that

:17:36. > :17:39.we need to bear in mind, during this general election, the Labour Party

:17:40. > :17:47.was running on a platform that was making it clear to voters that they

:17:48. > :17:51.wanted to leave the EU as well. The front-page headline today, Tories

:17:52. > :17:56.and Labour hold talks on a soft Brexit. You are in favour of a hard

:17:57. > :18:01.Brexit, aren't you? I reject the term soft and hard Brexit because

:18:02. > :18:09.I'm never really sure what a mean. Surely, you are the man to tell us.

:18:10. > :18:13.I said in the past that hard Brexit is a term that is invented by people

:18:14. > :18:17.who want to make our decision to free ourselves from the EU seem like

:18:18. > :18:21.some sort of punishment. Whatever sort of Brexit is being decided, are

:18:22. > :18:26.you talking to the Labour Party about this? I talk to politicians

:18:27. > :18:29.from every party to make sure we get the right approach. During the

:18:30. > :18:35.referendum campaign I worked with Labour politicians and now, of

:18:36. > :18:43.course, I've been on the Brexit panel with Hilary Benn and others.

:18:44. > :18:47.-- of course I talk to others. There are a lot of issues to talk about

:18:48. > :18:58.this morning that you are now the environment Secretary. I see you are

:18:59. > :19:02.smiling on the point being risen that you are the worst person to be

:19:03. > :19:06.appointed to that job. One of the things I will say is, when it comes

:19:07. > :19:11.to climate change, before I was ever an MP and indeed before David

:19:12. > :19:14.Cameron became leader of the Conservative Party and put the

:19:15. > :19:19.environment at the heart. He was arguing that we need to do more to

:19:20. > :19:24.deal with the problem of man-made climate change. In a speech that I

:19:25. > :19:28.gave at 2014 to the Conservative environment network, I made clear it

:19:29. > :19:32.is the Conservatives's instinct to make sure we can pass onto the next

:19:33. > :19:36.generation a better world to the one we inherited and a part of that is

:19:37. > :19:43.to make sure Arryn environment is an enhanced. Your new role, may we see

:19:44. > :19:48.if running through fields of wheat at some stage? The more people that

:19:49. > :19:53.enjoy the British countryside and the great outdoors, the better. I'm

:19:54. > :19:54.sure that will cement your relationship with the Prime

:19:55. > :20:03.Minister, Michael Gove, thank you. Over 200 normally private gardens

:20:04. > :20:05.will be open to the public in London this weekend. Carol has a sneak

:20:06. > :20:15.preview of one of them. You are correct, Lew. It used to be

:20:16. > :20:20.derelict here. With the help of around 400 volunteers or so, it has

:20:21. > :20:25.been made into a beautiful garden. A lot of the plants have been planted

:20:26. > :20:29.to encourage bees and increase pollination. If you are sitting

:20:30. > :20:35.having breakfast this morning, a fruit for example, chances are these

:20:36. > :20:39.have been in fault. Same with coffee and chocolate, if you are lucky

:20:40. > :20:43.enough to have chocolate for breakfast. The weather is nice. We

:20:44. > :20:47.have blue skies with a gentle breeze. You can probably hear the

:20:48. > :20:51.birds singing in the background. There is a north - south split this

:20:52. > :20:56.morning. We have patchy rain in the North and sunnier, warmer conditions

:20:57. > :21:00.further south. Nine o'clock this morning across Scotland, some heavy

:21:01. > :21:03.rain in the West. The East is largely dry. The same front

:21:04. > :21:24.producing the rain in Scotland is producing patchy rain across

:21:25. > :21:28.northern England. As we head south, there is a bitter cloud around but

:21:29. > :21:31.there are some holes in it. There is sunshine. Particularly so as you

:21:32. > :21:35.head down towards East Anglia, London and the South Coast. As we

:21:36. > :21:38.drift further west, again, a lot of dry weather. Variable amounts of

:21:39. > :21:42.cloud. A bit more cloud to areas adjacent to the Irish Sea but as the

:21:43. > :21:45.move inland, we see more breaks in that. Southwest London, bright

:21:46. > :21:49.breaks. Wales, a lot of cloud for you this morning and patchy rain in

:21:50. > :21:52.the far north, as indeed, Northern Ireland. Through the day, the rain

:21:53. > :21:56.in the north will increasingly turn a shower reacted drift east. Because

:21:57. > :21:59.of the nature of the showers, by the afternoon, not all of us will be

:22:00. > :22:02.seeing this and in between, there will be sunshine. As we come further

:22:03. > :22:04.south, more sunshine, particularly around the Bristol Channel and the

:22:05. > :22:09.English Channel coastlines. Temperatures up to about 24 Celsius

:22:10. > :22:11.today at best but we are looking at higher temperatures north than were

:22:12. > :22:16.yesterday. 18 and 19. Through this evening and overnight, while there

:22:17. > :22:20.will be some cloud -- clear skies, there will be lighter showers across

:22:21. > :22:23.the north-west. Some patchy mist and fog forming around south-west

:22:24. > :22:28.England as well and temperatures in the range of 10- 15. Not

:22:29. > :22:31.particularly cold. Tomorrow, we start of the showers across the

:22:32. > :22:35.north-west but for most of us tomorrow, it will be dry and sunny

:22:36. > :22:40.and it will be warm or indeed hot. Temperatures in parts of the

:22:41. > :22:47.south-east could hit 28 Celsius tomorrow but generally, we are

:22:48. > :22:51.looking at 22- 24 with a few exceptions in the high teens. As we

:22:52. > :22:55.head on into Thursday, a lot of dry weather but we have a weather front

:22:56. > :22:57.coming in from the West that will introduce some patchy rain and

:22:58. > :23:00.fresher conditions behind it. That doesn't mean the temperature will

:23:01. > :23:04.plummet but at the temperatures will be a little bit lower in the West

:23:05. > :23:09.than they have been. Lower in the East as well part from East Anglia

:23:10. > :23:12.and Kent when we could hit 26. For the next few days, it is worth

:23:13. > :23:14.mentioning the UV levels and the pollen levels are both high or very

:23:15. > :23:25.high across most of the UK. It really does look gorgeous day,

:23:26. > :23:37.Carol. Paddy resisted both rise breeze? I would have picked a few.

:23:38. > :23:40.-- how do you resist the rise -- raspberries.

:23:41. > :23:50.The vote generalist Giles Dooley became part of the story when he

:23:51. > :24:00.suffered life changing injuries in assignments in Afghanistan. -- Giles

:24:01. > :24:05.Duley. He lost both legs and an arm

:24:06. > :24:10.after stepping on an IED in 2011 - undergoing 18 months

:24:11. > :24:11.of rehabilitation and more But he eventually managed to return

:24:12. > :24:16.to work, this time to follow the refugee crisis across

:24:17. > :24:24.the Middle East and Europe. The story you tell is an amazing one

:24:25. > :24:27.and we will show the pictures in next few minutes. Your own story is

:24:28. > :24:30.incredible. I don't see it as incredible. I was injured in

:24:31. > :24:34.Afghanistan, as you mention, six years ago. I spent a year in

:24:35. > :24:37.hospital a year after I thought I would never walk again. All that

:24:38. > :24:47.time I just had one dream and that was to return to being a

:24:48. > :24:52.photographer. We will come to your photographs which are extraordinary.

:24:53. > :24:56.You have been determined that you adapt rather than things add up into

:24:57. > :25:01.you. From day one when people said you won't walk or work, I was ready

:25:02. > :25:06.planning how I would return. I knew that, the places I worked like South

:25:07. > :25:09.Sudan, it is a different environment -- difficult environment. I needed

:25:10. > :25:14.to adapt to things, I didn't want things adapting to me. I was tried

:25:15. > :25:21.work out how to use the old camera that I always have. In this project,

:25:22. > :25:27.he visited people that you seen before. How have they changed? After

:25:28. > :25:33.I got injured, that difficult time was the time I had come out. It

:25:34. > :25:38.wasn't the time I was in bed. Nobody rang me for work, I sat there for a

:25:39. > :25:43.year. I was close to giving up hope and then I got the opportunity to

:25:44. > :25:47.document some of Syria's most vulnerable refugees. Some with

:25:48. > :25:56.disabilities, elderly people, families. Two families, a woman who

:25:57. > :25:59.was paralysed by a sniper and a young girl living with spina bifida.

:26:00. > :26:04.Those families trusted me to tell their stories. Those are the people

:26:05. > :26:08.that trusted me when nobody else called me for work. Everything I am

:26:09. > :26:12.able to do now with my work, I am thankful for them and they were the

:26:13. > :26:17.one Seagate me my life back. Tell us about the journey you have been on.

:26:18. > :26:22.-- those are the ones who gave me my life back. Some of your photographs

:26:23. > :26:26.have joined in them like this one for example and others are deeply

:26:27. > :26:37.depressing, like the beaches in Lesbos. Tell us about it. The UN --

:26:38. > :26:43.UNHCR said to go out there and do what I do. I knew I would have to

:26:44. > :26:46.document what was happening in the islands of Greece. The journey

:26:47. > :26:53.through the Balkans and through to Germany. I was in tears. I've never

:26:54. > :26:56.seen anything like it. I've covered the effects of conflict over a

:26:57. > :26:59.decade but to stand there and see thousands and thousands of people

:27:00. > :27:06.risking their life to expect walk was the most devastating thing --

:27:07. > :27:09.escape. When you think about what you have personally been through and

:27:10. > :27:13.the year in hospital and the month of rehab and the operations, what

:27:14. > :27:18.did your family say when you told them you are going back into a

:27:19. > :27:22.similar sort of environment? My family is amazingly supportive but

:27:23. > :27:27.also they have to put up with me. My whole life. When I was flown back to

:27:28. > :27:32.the UK they had been told I wasn't going to make it. It didn't seem

:27:33. > :27:37.like I had a lot of chance. I had a lot of internal injuries. As they

:27:38. > :27:44.wheeled me into hospital, I was tried to say something and my sister

:27:45. > :27:48.saw me struggling and they took the ventilator off and she thought I was

:27:49. > :27:57.going to say that I love turbot I said I want to be a photographer

:27:58. > :28:01.still. --I love her, but I said. These pictures particularly of young

:28:02. > :28:05.boys and men that you have taken and the pain in their eyes is something

:28:06. > :28:13.that you can only really describe in a photograph. Portraits are my love,

:28:14. > :28:19.my passion. I really wanted to take portraits of people. It is a very

:28:20. > :28:24.personal moment taking a portrait. They think those pictures are

:28:25. > :28:28.exactly that. They reflect a 4-5 years of people seeing conflict in

:28:29. > :28:39.their rise. Really powerful photography. Thank you for coming

:38:04. > :38:06.OK. David, we will talk to in a moment because you have some news to

:38:07. > :38:08.tell us about the first, let's remind everybody, of some of your

:38:09. > :38:32.greatest moments. David Weir has managed to win three

:38:33. > :38:35.gold medals and now he is in front. It is a fourth gold medal for David

:38:36. > :39:05.Weir. Victory is going to come for David

:39:06. > :39:17.Weir. Anti- roars again. He beat the defending champion. What a win for

:39:18. > :39:21.David Weir. There have been some high points and some low points but

:39:22. > :39:24.you are here this morning with great news for all the people who have

:39:25. > :39:31.followed you for all those years because they can see you on the

:39:32. > :39:35.track. One more time? I have got the opportunity to race at the

:39:36. > :39:42.anniversary games on the ninth of July, British Athletics asked me if

:39:43. > :39:46.I would say farewell to the British crowd at the anniversary games and I

:39:47. > :39:51.jumped at the chance and I could not really say no. The fans have been

:39:52. > :39:55.great, not just in the marathon but at the Paralympics and Twitty 12.

:39:56. > :40:00.80,000 people screaming my name every day and not just in the finals

:40:01. > :40:04.but in the morning sessions as well so I jumped at the chance and I

:40:05. > :40:11.couldn't say no. It will be my last ever track race. You are going to

:40:12. > :40:21.continue on the road? Yes. After that victory, probably my best win

:40:22. > :40:29.ever. It gave me a lot of confidence to carry on the road. The racing

:40:30. > :40:33.around the world with all the different marathons. I enjoy that,

:40:34. > :40:41.the comfort on the road and I enjoy the carry on. You touched on Rio.

:40:42. > :40:47.But well-publicised fallout with British Athletics. Has that been

:40:48. > :40:50.healed? They approached two. The relationship was always great with

:40:51. > :40:55.British Athletics, it was just one person who was working for them but

:40:56. > :41:01.that's in the past. I just want to move on. An opportunity to race in

:41:02. > :41:07.this fantastic stadium and say farewell. It's a great opportunity

:41:08. > :41:14.to say goodbye to a British crowd. It's going to be a great day as

:41:15. > :41:22.well. Great for fans to come and see some great racing. Do you think you

:41:23. > :41:29.might return as a coach? On the day, I asked British Athletics, it not

:41:30. > :41:35.actually a race but I've got some of my academy members racing with me.

:41:36. > :41:41.It's a good opportunity to experience the atmosphere. I don't

:41:42. > :41:50.know how many it's going to hold the day that about 60,000 people. Huge

:41:51. > :41:57.crowds. If I could just have them racing with me, that opportunity to

:41:58. > :42:02.that experience. How are you feeling now because you had a difficult time

:42:03. > :42:07.after Rio. He talked about how you've struggled to be motivated,

:42:14. > :42:17.day is a different day that I channelled all my negative energy

:42:18. > :42:24.into training and I think that's how I won in a -- the London Marathon.

:42:25. > :42:31.Every day is a new day. I will start to feel a lot better. Getting up and

:42:32. > :42:35.going training when you feel like that can be an issue but you found

:42:36. > :42:41.that can make the difference. It made a massive difference for me to

:42:42. > :42:47.get up and train and put all the negative energy into one thing and

:42:48. > :42:55.that was training. Just concentrating on one race. For

:42:56. > :43:02.years... So much to do. Exactly. For the London Marathon, I could focus

:43:03. > :43:06.on the marathon and not worry about the World Championships until July.

:43:07. > :43:09.I've got to go to Switzerland to get a qualifying standard soap had the

:43:10. > :43:15.opportunity to channel everything into one race. You said it was your

:43:16. > :43:20.best ever marathon. We are surprised when so well? A couple of weeks

:43:21. > :43:25.before, I did the Paris marathon and that was a good opportunity for me

:43:26. > :43:29.to see what standard I was out. I went under one hours 30 and not many

:43:30. > :43:34.athletes have done that. It was good conditions. It can be a lot of

:43:35. > :43:40.confidence going into London with only two weeks to go but leading up

:43:41. > :43:44.to that week, I felt positive. Everything was going right.

:43:45. > :43:50.Everything fell into place. I knew of the day had a great opportunity

:43:51. > :43:55.to win but Marcel, who has won major marathons and the medals in Rio, he

:43:56. > :44:04.was the one to beat. In my gameplan on the day was following whatever he

:44:05. > :44:06.did. Did you? David, thank you so much. See you at the University

:44:07. > :44:13.games as well. If you've ever had a fancy nosing

:44:14. > :44:17.around somebody else's garden, you are in luck.

:44:18. > :44:19.Carol is in one of the private gardens in London that will be open

:44:20. > :44:37.to the public. We are talking about these. What

:44:38. > :44:53.have you got hidden in the tree? A small colony of thieves. How many

:44:54. > :45:04.are in there? -- bees. They are very busy. There are a few of them. We

:45:05. > :45:18.have some new comb they have been building. Busy as bees. I had jokes

:45:19. > :45:24.planned and you've just ruined them. People can come down and learn about

:45:25. > :45:34.them? Yes, we can discuss more about bees. We are doing some cocktails

:45:35. > :45:44.seek and plant some food for bees. Today produce the honey here? Killam

:45:45. > :45:57.we haven't got honey this year that we will hopefully get that in the

:45:58. > :46:09.next month or so. The sun is out, the skies are blue. It is cloudy

:46:10. > :46:16.with patchy rain in the south, sunny and warm. In Scotland, a bit more

:46:17. > :46:21.rain in the West. Some of that will be heavy this morning. The same

:46:22. > :46:28.weather front producing the rain in Scotland is producing patchy rain

:46:29. > :46:32.across the area. A lot of dry weather around and a lot of clout.

:46:33. > :46:38.Until we come down to the south. We have sunshine already across pits of

:46:39. > :46:45.East Anglia. -- cloud. Talking off the coast, the area adjacent to the

:46:46. > :46:49.Irish Sea, you will have more cloud. Inland, a cloudy start with patchy

:46:50. > :46:53.rain in the north and we have patchy rain across Northern Ireland this

:46:54. > :46:57.morning. All of that patchy rain through the course of the date will

:46:58. > :47:01.tend to turn more showery in nature as it moves from the West to the

:47:02. > :47:06.east. As is the nature of showers, not all of us will see them. In

:47:07. > :47:10.between the showers, some brighter breaks with sunny intervals. The

:47:11. > :47:14.best of the sunshine today will be the further south you travel,

:47:15. > :47:22.particularly the Bristol Channel and the English Channel coastlines.

:47:23. > :47:28.Temperatures today 24- 25. Aberdeen, Newcastle, around 19. Through the

:47:29. > :47:33.afternoon at overnight, some showers. Lighter showers across

:47:34. > :47:38.north-west Scotland. Some clearer skies and also some patchy mist and

:47:39. > :47:46.fog across south-west England. At a bridge arranged tonight around 10-

:47:47. > :47:50.15 Celsius. -- temperature of range. Any fog will disburse. It is dry,

:47:51. > :47:56.sunny and warm or hot depending on where you are. There will be still

:47:57. > :48:10.some showers across the north-west. Temperature wise, widely 22- 24. We

:48:11. > :48:14.will see exceptions. The UV will also be high tomorrow and the next

:48:15. > :48:24.few days, pollen levels will be or very high. A weather front coming

:48:25. > :48:27.into the West will introduce patchy rain and fresher conditions

:48:28. > :48:40.following on behind it. It would be cold but just not as hot. BG,

:48:41. > :48:44.Carroll. It looks lovely there. Don't be worried if you just turned

:48:45. > :48:53.on the television, it's time to breathe and relax.

:48:54. > :48:56.Now, after the last few days, this morning we are calming things

:48:57. > :48:59.down a little - so let's take a breath and relax.

:49:00. > :49:02.With all the early mornings, sleep is one of our favourite

:49:03. > :49:06.But getting your children off to sleep can sometimes

:49:07. > :49:09.Yet, as the BBC's Terrific Scientific scheme has been

:49:10. > :49:11.finding out, slumber may affect their school work.

:49:12. > :49:15.This classroom study is the latest experiment from...

:49:16. > :49:19.The BBC scheme to help bring science to life with real rock solid

:49:20. > :49:22.This latest experiment is all about...

:49:23. > :49:29.In fact, it is the very first scientific study into the impact

:49:30. > :49:33.And what they wanted to find out was...

:49:34. > :49:35.What impact the clocks going forward had on sleep

:49:36. > :49:51.But the results are not what they expected.

:49:52. > :49:53.This is how they tested reaction times before

:49:54. > :49:57.But also reaction times before and after the lunch break.

:49:58. > :49:59.Almost 1,000 children carried out these tests

:50:00. > :50:04.first thing in the morning and again in the afternoon.

:50:05. > :50:06.Initially we thought we would look into before

:50:07. > :50:09.and after the clock changed, but really, the surprising finding

:50:10. > :50:11.was that it was the difference between

:50:12. > :50:13.morning and afternoon in the reaction times.

:50:14. > :50:20.The data was crunched by academics here at Oxford

:50:21. > :50:23.University, and it is so significant it could overturn traditional

:50:24. > :50:29.beliefs about how the school day is mapped out.

:50:30. > :50:31.Back in class they are also surprised.

:50:32. > :50:34.Mostly the school day is geared up to kids

:50:35. > :50:36.being really sharp in the morning, first thing.

:50:37. > :50:43.We schedule all the "difficult" subjects, the ones they have

:50:44. > :50:46.to concentrate on, like maths and literacy and reading and writing

:50:47. > :50:48.Then in the afternoon we do more practical

:50:49. > :50:58.activities and things like topic work and things like that.

:50:59. > :51:01.So, yes, it was very interesting to see that

:51:02. > :51:07.actually the morning was the worst time for them to do those things.

:51:08. > :51:10.It is a significant result for the BBC's Terrific Scientific

:51:11. > :51:13.teams, research which could potentially their shape own school

:51:14. > :51:38.We will talk more about sleep in about one hour. Steph has advice. It

:51:39. > :51:43.is the hot water bottle? Take it with me everywhere, it's quite

:51:44. > :51:54.comforting. I cuddle up with it. Little fluffy hot water bottle. Too

:51:55. > :51:57.much information? We are talking about holiday insurance. What

:51:58. > :52:03.happens if you need medical treatment when you are abroad?

:52:04. > :52:05.It seems many of us are confused by the subject.

:52:06. > :52:08.This is all about what happens if you need medical treatment

:52:09. > :52:11.You might have heard about the European Health Insurance

:52:12. > :52:16.It's free and it means you can get access to state provided medical

:52:17. > :52:18.help for any injury or condition that needs urgent treatment,

:52:19. > :52:23.But, there's lots of confusion about it, as we found out

:52:24. > :52:25.when we asked people heading on holiday.

:52:26. > :52:31.Healthcare if you hurt yourself or if you fall over. S as far as I

:52:32. > :52:36.understand it, it's the same level of coverage as you get in the NHS.

:52:37. > :52:38.You can get free health in the EU, isn't it? No idea.

:52:39. > :52:56.Kate Stinchcombe-Gillies is an independent travel expert

:52:57. > :53:12.What is it and what does it do? EHIC gives you access to this date --

:53:13. > :53:16.state funded emergency care in the single market. Plus Switzerland.

:53:17. > :53:25.When you say state medical care what, what is it actually mean? It

:53:26. > :53:31.means that you have access at the same as it native of that country.

:53:32. > :53:35.If a native has to pay for access to a GP or pay for a prescription or

:53:36. > :53:40.pay for a certain type of treatment and you will have to pay as well.

:53:41. > :53:46.But the EHIC gives you access to that care at the same level as they

:53:47. > :53:50.do and the right to get treatment without claiming on your travel

:53:51. > :53:56.insurance as well. I would imagine that there is hit hugely between

:53:57. > :54:01.countries. France is an example, you do have to pay but you can claim the

:54:02. > :54:05.money back. There are patient share programmes in place whereby the

:54:06. > :54:08.country that you are in determined what that patient share is and you

:54:09. > :54:13.can claim the difference between what you pay and what a determined

:54:14. > :54:17.the patient share to be. It is country by country. What is it mean

:54:18. > :54:22.in terms of your insurance because a lot of people say well, I have the

:54:23. > :54:27.EHIC, therefore I don't need travel insurance. You do, you do. The

:54:28. > :54:34.actually complement each other quite nicely. Yes, you need a EHIC and

:54:35. > :54:40.yes, you should carry it with you. Yes, you also need travel insurance.

:54:41. > :54:44.There are some insurers out there that will require you to have EHIC

:54:45. > :54:47.and if you also need to claim on your travel insurance because of

:54:48. > :54:50.something that has happened while you were away, they will waive the

:54:51. > :54:58.access on your insurance policy because they can say that you have

:54:59. > :55:02.used a EHIC. Their EHIC gives you access to, things like an ongoing

:55:03. > :55:06.medical condition and unique treatment while you were away or if

:55:07. > :55:09.you are pregnant and it gives you access to normal maternity care. The

:55:10. > :55:15.insurance policy gives you access to repatriation. EHIC, if you had a

:55:16. > :55:21.seat -- skiing accident, for example, it is classed as a private

:55:22. > :55:30.healthcare not state funded. If I injured myself on holiday, is the

:55:31. > :55:34.first instance, try your EHIC card and see where it gets you?

:55:35. > :55:38.Absolutely. Prove that you have got it and show it and if you can't

:55:39. > :55:42.prove that you have one, there is a number that you can call and say

:55:43. > :55:46.well, this is me and this is my NHS number. It is a really good thing to

:55:47. > :55:50.have with you stored on your phone just as proof that you are a UK

:55:51. > :56:00.resident. Great advice. Lovely to see you. So many people getting in

:56:01. > :56:07.touch with us to talk about the interview with a photographer. I can

:56:08. > :56:12.only tell you what my eyes see, photographs from the refugee crisis.

:56:13. > :56:13.An amazing account of his travels. Still to come this

:56:14. > :56:17.morning: Can you sew on a button

:56:18. > :56:20.and would you take on the challenge Well apparently more than half

:00:23. > :00:34.for the minority government, As she apologiseds to backbench MPs,

:00:35. > :00:38.Michael Gove told Breakfast that the party must learn lessons. We didn't

:00:39. > :00:41.get the majority we wanted, so we need to be in listening mode to

:00:42. > :00:55.appreciate what the public concerns are.

:00:56. > :01:01.A very good morning to you, Tuesday the 13th of June, eight o'clock.

:01:10. > :01:11.to the European Court of Human Rights.

:01:12. > :01:14.More questions over alleged Russian interference in the US election,

:01:15. > :01:15.as the Attorney General, Jeff Sessions,

:01:16. > :01:26.There's been a big rise in the number of official

:01:27. > :01:29.complaints about payday loans. I'll be taking a look at why.

:01:30. > :01:32.In sport, Stuart Hogg is out of the Lions tour with injury.

:02:11. > :02:18.Yes, we are looking at a beehive with 30,000 bees, this is a hotel

:02:19. > :02:23.for the bee likes to be by himself. It will be dry today, the forecast

:02:24. > :02:26.for southern areas is sunny and warm, in the Northmoor cloud and

:02:31. > :02:33.Right then, good morning, just gone eight o'clock.

:02:34. > :02:36.Theresa May will meet the leader of the Democratic Unionist Party,

:02:37. > :02:38.Arlene Foster, today to thrash out the details

:02:39. > :02:41.of a deal that would secure their support for a minority

:02:42. > :02:43.Opposition parties have criticised the talks,

:02:44. > :02:46.with Sinn Fein suggesting a deal with the DUP would undermine

:02:47. > :02:54.Meanwhile, with Brexit talks due to begin in less than a week,

:02:55. > :02:56.the EU's chief negotiator, Michel Barnier,

:02:57. > :02:57.has called on Britain not to waste time.

:02:58. > :03:05.Our political correspondent Ben Wright has more.

:03:06. > :03:07.DUP leader Arlene Foster said it is a tremendous opportunity

:03:08. > :03:15.Theresa May knows a deal with the DUP is her only

:03:16. > :03:20.So an agreement will be reached, probably today,

:03:21. > :03:25.A confidence and supply arrangement will provide DUP

:03:41. > :03:46.She apologised for the disastrous campaign,

:03:47. > :03:58.There is a reality that is we have to be pragmatic about what is

:03:59. > :04:01.introduced, we have got to work harder to try to bring people along

:04:02. > :04:11.with us, both inside the Conservative Party and beyond. And

:04:12. > :04:14.while Theresa May tries to rebuild the Government from a hung

:04:15. > :04:19.parliament, a warning from the EU that the UK is wasting valuable time

:04:20. > :04:23.negotiating Brexit. More than two months have passed since Theresa May

:04:24. > :04:27.handed in notice, but no talks have happened, and there is a two year

:04:28. > :04:31.deadline to hammer out a Brexit deal. Speaking to the Financial

:04:32. > :04:36.Times, EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier said the UK needed to

:04:37. > :04:41.appoint a negotiated team with a mandate soon because the process

:04:42. > :04:44.would be extraordinarily complex. Theresa May is also facing calls

:04:45. > :04:49.from some Tory MPs and Labour to rethink her Brexit plan - exactly

:04:50. > :04:51.the uncertainty she wanted the election to stop. Ben Wright, BBC

:04:52. > :05:00.News, Westminster. Still so many questions to be

:05:01. > :05:03.answered. Chris Mason is in Westminster, we know that there are

:05:04. > :05:10.talks going on, when we likely to see a deal? We have been out tonight

:05:11. > :05:14.hearing from new members of the Cabinet as well. Yes, big, important

:05:15. > :05:19.discussions this morning about the stability of the Government, there

:05:20. > :05:21.could not be bigger talks at Westminster than that, the

:05:22. > :05:26.Democratic Unionist Party to the Prime Minister to try to come to

:05:27. > :05:28.this arrangement, and meanwhile new MPs are arriving here at

:05:29. > :05:33.Westminster, chewing over the election results, and when you speak

:05:34. > :05:36.to Conservative MPs, there is privately quite a lot of gallows

:05:37. > :05:42.humour, one saying yesterday, well, that was a good decision, wasn't

:05:43. > :05:45.it?! Another joking that they never, ever, ever want to see another

:05:46. > :05:49.general election, and when there is one, the voting age should be 40

:05:50. > :05:53.plus, a jokey reference to the idea that it looks like a lot of younger

:05:54. > :05:57.people turned out, and that was significant in boosting Labour's

:05:58. > :06:02.support. The view from the top table, we can hear from a man who

:06:03. > :06:07.has just rejoined it, Michael Gove. I think we underestimated some of

:06:08. > :06:11.the reasons behind Labour's support, and it is important that we do two

:06:12. > :06:15.things, one, that we form a government which is capable of

:06:16. > :06:18.carrying through the public's wishes, including leaving the EU,

:06:19. > :06:21.and at the same time we reflect on the fact that we didn't get that

:06:22. > :06:27.majority that we wanted, and therefore we won't to be in

:06:28. > :06:31.listening mode to properly appreciate what the public concerns

:06:32. > :06:35.are. The watchword is humble, that is what Conservative MPs wanted to

:06:36. > :06:38.hear from the Prime Minister when she addressed them here at

:06:39. > :06:41.Westminster last night, and as you could hear from Michael Gove, it is

:06:42. > :06:46.the sense that Conservative MPs wants to articulate when they are

:06:47. > :06:48.making the case that they should be able to continue governing, despite

:06:49. > :06:52.calling that general election with the hope of a whopping great

:06:53. > :06:56.majority and coming back after it without one at all.

:06:57. > :06:59.OK, Chris, we will be with you throughout... Well, throughout the

:07:00. > :07:03.coming weeks, to be honest with you, thank you very much.

:07:04. > :07:05.The European Court of Human Rights will rule later today

:07:06. > :07:07.on whether doctors treating ten-month-old Charlie Gard

:07:08. > :07:11.His parents want to take their son, who is terminally ill

:07:12. > :07:13.with a rare genetic disorder, to the US for

:07:14. > :07:18.agreed with specialists at Great Ormond Street Hospital

:07:19. > :07:20.that he should be allowed to die with dignity.

:07:21. > :07:26.Our medical correspondent Fergus Walsh reports.

:07:27. > :07:30.Charlie Gard cannot see, hear, move, cry or swallow.

:07:31. > :07:35.and kept alive with a mechanical ventilator.

:07:36. > :07:38.His parents, Chris Gard and Connie Yates, have raised ?1.3 million

:07:39. > :07:40.through crowdfunding for experimental treatment

:07:41. > :07:49.They say they simply want the best for their son.

:07:50. > :07:55.We know that even if it doesn't work, which I think it will,

:07:56. > :07:59.we know that we have done everything that we can for him.

:08:00. > :08:00.But doctors, including independent experts,

:08:01. > :08:05.say the treatment cannot improve his condition.

:08:06. > :08:10.One concern is that Charlie may experience pain

:08:11. > :08:16.while it had the utmost sympathy for his parents,

:08:17. > :08:19.it was not in Charlie's interests to subject him to futile treatment

:08:20. > :08:24.that could potentially prolong his suffering.

:08:25. > :08:26.Today, a panel of seven judges at the European Court

:08:27. > :08:28.of Human Rights in Strasbourg will consider written

:08:29. > :08:36.If they decide to take on the issue, a full hearing will be organised.

:08:37. > :08:38.If not, then the parents' legal battle to take their son

:08:39. > :08:42.abroad will be over, and from midnight,

:08:43. > :08:45.Great Ormond Street Hospital will be free to switch off Charlie's

:08:46. > :08:46.ventilator and provide only palliative care.

:09:47. > :09:51.He will be asked to explain his role in the firing of James Comey,

:09:56. > :09:57.If, as the president said, I was fired because

:11:57. > :11:58.It's a multi-billion dollar industry,

:11:59. > :12:01.and because of that a lot of people are being advised to take it.

:12:02. > :12:07.but because there is a fast buck to be made upon it,

:12:08. > :12:08.and just because you've got a celebrity

:12:09. > :12:12.who may have lost a little bit of weight and or gained a bit

:12:13. > :12:16.of muscle mass, this doesn't suddenly turn them into an expert.

:12:17. > :12:29.And we have got a bit of bee news, a swarm of 20,000 bees has taken over

:12:30. > :12:32.a car in Hull. The local beekeepers' association of trying to lure them

:12:33. > :12:36.away, but it is not clear what attracted them. The owner of the

:12:37. > :12:41.vehicle say that she and her family have all been stung. Their husbands

:12:42. > :12:49.said that it was because he had a Bee Gees CD in the car! It is 12

:12:50. > :12:53.minutes past eight, you are watching BBC Breakfast.

:12:54. > :12:54.Last week's election delivered the most diverse

:12:55. > :12:59.There are now 45 MPs who openly define

:13:00. > :13:01.themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender.

:13:02. > :13:10.The highest ever number of ethnic minority MPs

:13:11. > :13:12.were elected at 52, an increase of 11

:13:13. > :13:15.And a record 208 women were voted in on Thursday,

:13:16. > :13:22.but they still make up only 32% of the total number of MPs.

:13:23. > :13:24.Chris Mason is in Westminster for us this morning,

:13:25. > :13:26.and he's joined by two newly elected Mps.

:13:27. > :13:28.And, Chris, they're preparing to start their first full day

:13:29. > :13:40.Absolutely, good morning to you. I guess we have all had the experience

:13:41. > :13:42.of job interviews and biting our fingernails and getting very

:13:43. > :13:46.nervous, but we don't actually have to do it in public in the way that

:13:47. > :13:49.MPs do when they are Parliamentary candidates, and then the whole

:13:50. > :13:54.business of becoming an MP, doing all of that in public, sometimes a

:13:55. > :13:59.long way from home, and added twist in a new job. Let me introduce you

:14:00. > :14:07.to two new MPs, Sarah Jones, Labour and pay for Croydon Central, and the

:14:08. > :14:13.new Conservative MP for Angus on the east coast of Scotland. I will ask

:14:14. > :14:18.you each in turn, your first impressions of the job? Well, I

:14:19. > :14:21.mean, extraordinary to describe, really, because there are lots of

:14:22. > :14:26.different elements to it. One is the slightly surreal thing of being

:14:27. > :14:30.taken into the chamber, sitting on the green benches, thinking,

:14:31. > :14:34.goodness me, this is real! And the other is the very real elements of

:14:35. > :14:39.the role in the constituency, where we had a drive-by shooting when I

:14:40. > :14:42.was elected, I had to talk to the borough commander, I was involved in

:14:43. > :14:46.the response, the very real problems of the people that you are

:14:47. > :14:51.representing. On the one hand, you have got this slightly archaic sort

:14:52. > :14:54.of, you know, ceremonial side that you see on the television. On the

:14:55. > :15:01.other side, all these things you want to get done in the constituency

:15:02. > :15:04.straightaway. Your reflections? Very similar, that balance between

:15:05. > :15:07.Westminster, what happens here, getting your head around the

:15:08. > :15:12.processes and structures, incredibly new to all of us, but also you want

:15:13. > :15:16.to get started working in your constituency straightaway, that is

:15:17. > :15:19.what you were elected to do, and that is what I certainly campaigned

:15:20. > :15:23.for, being a local representative, so getting your head around

:15:24. > :15:24.everything at Westminster and also getting stuck in in your

:15:25. > :15:34.constituency. I guess the oddity of both coming to

:15:35. > :15:38.a building that's very familiar and yet well, full of, I've worked here

:15:39. > :15:43.for nearly ten years and I still get lost in that building, full of a

:15:44. > :15:47.maze of corridors and all the archaic procedures as well? I was

:15:48. > :15:51.talking to an MP the other day and he has been here for 30 years and he

:15:52. > :15:56.still gets lost! It is a little bit of a minefield here, but it's really

:15:57. > :16:00.exciting. It's wonderful to be part of the Westminster Parliament and

:16:01. > :16:03.it's just an honour to represent, I was born and brought up in

:16:04. > :16:10.Westminster. I guess for you in particular, for a lot of MPs, is the

:16:11. > :16:15.challenge that you have got a job in two different places at opposite

:16:16. > :16:19.ends of the UK and that comes with a challenge for your life outside of

:16:20. > :16:22.work as well? It was a quick turn around from early on Friday morning

:16:23. > :16:26.when I got elected and I was down here by Sunday evening so it was a

:16:27. > :16:29.turn around. The resignation went in on Friday and starting the new job

:16:30. > :16:34.yesterday. So, it's all very exciting. A little bit of a

:16:35. > :16:42.whirlwind, but just a very exciting place to be. So have you got used to

:16:43. > :16:46.the letters M and P after your name? No, my children are trying to get

:16:47. > :16:52.their head around it. My son said, "Have you got a trophy?" No, I just

:16:53. > :16:57.get to be an MP and it's very humbling and it's super exciting.

:16:58. > :17:01.Coming in, you probably had the same yesterday seeing all these wonderful

:17:02. > :17:05.women MPs, just giving me massive hugs and just being welcoming and

:17:06. > :17:08.supportive. I think it's probably a very different environment from what

:17:09. > :17:14.it was many years ago, but you definitely feel welcomed and given

:17:15. > :17:17.the support you need. Are children any better behaved now that mum is

:17:18. > :17:20.an MP? No! LAUGHTER

:17:21. > :17:24.Oh well. Thank you both. I really appreciate your time.

:17:25. > :17:30.Congratulations. Welcome to Westminster. It is worth reflecting

:17:31. > :17:36.on this that after the inevitably controversial and colourful nature

:17:37. > :17:39.of an election campaign where there is big arguments, you get friendship

:17:40. > :17:43.that is exist across party divides here at Westminster because I guess

:17:44. > :17:48.to a greater or lesser extent everyone here is in the business of

:17:49. > :17:52.governing or aspiring to govern and having an argument about how that is

:17:53. > :17:57.best done and so, yeah, after an election, you do see friendships

:17:58. > :18:02.develop across the party divides. Very interesting. Chris, thank you

:18:03. > :18:05.very much. Thank you to our two new MPs for

:18:06. > :18:12.chatting to us. It's 8.18am and you're watching

:18:13. > :18:16.Breakfast from BBC News. The DUP leader, Arlene Foster is due

:18:17. > :18:26.at Downing Street today. The parents

:18:27. > :18:27.of ten-month-old Charlie Gard will find out today

:18:28. > :18:29.if the European Court of Human Rights will help

:18:30. > :18:32.in their battle to take him Over 200 normally private gardens

:18:33. > :18:36.in London will be open to the public this weekend and this morning

:18:37. > :18:45.Carol is at one of them. We saw the car in Bull covered in

:18:46. > :18:54.bees. Hopefully you won't be under attack this morning, Carol. I hope

:18:55. > :18:58.so too, Dan. Good morning to you. I'm in Bee Urban and behind me,

:18:59. > :19:03.there are 13 hives. We saw another one earlier which is behind glass.

:19:04. > :19:07.There are 700,000 bees here and 14 queen bees and all around there are

:19:08. > :19:11.neck tear-friendly plants being grown to encourage the bees to come

:19:12. > :19:15.in and pollinate and you can see some around me now. We've got raised

:19:16. > :19:18.beds and some lovely wild flowers and if you come down this weekend,

:19:19. > :19:22.you will be given seeds to plant. You will be able to taste some honey

:19:23. > :19:26.and taste the beer that's made from honey and it's all part of the open

:19:27. > :19:30.garden squares weekend which is taking place in London. There are 27

:19:31. > :19:34.boroughs involved and 230 gardens you might not otherwise have access

:19:35. > :19:40.to, and they will be open for you to explore. The weather is glorious.

:19:41. > :19:51.The temperatures picked up nicely, but we have a north/south split. So

:19:52. > :19:56.starting in Scotland at 9am, some heavy rain in the west. Drier in the

:19:57. > :20:01.east, but still a fair bit of cloud. For northern England there is patchy

:20:02. > :20:04.rain and further south, still cloud, but the cloud breaking here and

:20:05. > :20:07.there with sunshine coming through. In East Anglia, in towards the

:20:08. > :20:11.Midlands and the South Coast, we are looking at that sunshine as we have

:20:12. > :20:15.here in London. Again, as we drift further west, we are looking at a

:20:16. > :20:19.lot of dry weather and variable amounts of cloud and sunny spells,

:20:20. > :20:23.but in areas adjacent to the Irish Sea, we are looking at a wee bit

:20:24. > :20:27.more cloud and the cloud extending through much of Wales, producing

:20:28. > :20:30.some patchy light rain across the North Wales and we've got patchy

:20:31. > :20:33.light rain across Northern Ireland. Through the course of the day, the

:20:34. > :20:37.patchy light rain we have in the west will tend to turn more showery

:20:38. > :20:41.in nature as it moves eastwards. The very nature of showers means not all

:20:42. > :20:44.of us will see it and in between there will be bright spells or sunny

:20:45. > :20:47.spells. But the lion's share of the sunshine will be further south

:20:48. > :20:53.particularly around the Bristol Channel areas and also the English

:20:54. > :20:57.Channel areas. Now temperatures today up to 24, 25 Celsius, maybe 26

:20:58. > :21:01.Celsius in the south, but we are looking at 19s and 20s as we push

:21:02. > :21:04.further north for many parts of the UK. As we head through the evening

:21:05. > :21:07.and overnight, there will be a spell of heavy showers across northern

:21:08. > :21:10.England and Southern Scotland. Lighter showers across north-west

:21:11. > :21:15.Scotland and under clear skies, we will see patchy mist and fog form

:21:16. > :21:19.across south-west England. The temperature range tonight, ten to 15

:21:20. > :21:22.Celsius. So not particularly cold. So tomorrow we start off with the

:21:23. > :21:27.showers in the north-west, but for the rest of us, it's going to be

:21:28. > :21:31.dry, sunny and warm or hot depending on where you are. Temperatures will

:21:32. > :21:37.reach 22 to 24 Celsius. There will be a few exceptions in the high

:21:38. > :21:41.teens, but in the South East and East Anglia because your we could

:21:42. > :21:45.see highs between 26 and 28. UV levels tomorrow will be high. We are

:21:46. > :21:49.looking at a UV level of eight and we will have high or very high

:21:50. > :21:52.pollen levels, not just for tomorrow, but for the rest of the

:21:53. > :21:56.week. On Thursday, a lot of dry weather and sunshine, but a weather

:21:57. > :22:00.front coming into the west will produce patchy rain and fresher

:22:01. > :22:03.conditions following behind, not turning cold, just temperatures not

:22:04. > :22:07.as high as they are going to be Dan and Lou.

:22:08. > :22:15.Lovely. Thank you very much indeed. Thank you.

:22:16. > :22:23.I want to go and join Carol. I want to go and have a stroll. I will be

:22:24. > :22:28.there at 11.30am! Fabulous. See you later, thank you.

:22:29. > :22:35.She is in bad mood most of the time, Carol. Right! She is never in a bad

:22:36. > :22:40.mood! There was a big rise in the number

:22:41. > :22:51.of people making complaints These are the financial from the

:22:52. > :22:57.Financial Ombudsman who is the person that you go to when your bank

:22:58. > :23:02.is giving you grief. They collate the figures and tell us what people

:23:03. > :23:05.have been the most upset about and what's interesting is how many

:23:06. > :23:11.people complained about payday loans. There was 10,000 people

:23:12. > :23:16.making official complaints and that's ten times to the previous

:23:17. > :23:21.year and that's despite seeing changes to payday loans, but biggest

:23:22. > :23:26.thing we complain to the Financial Ombudsman is PPI. They deal with

:23:27. > :23:30.thousands of complaints about PPI. Every single one of us had the phone

:23:31. > :23:34.call, the text messages, have you claimed PPI? It's still going on and

:23:35. > :23:37.still the banks are setting aside loads of money for it as well, but

:23:38. > :23:43.yeah, those are the things we complain about most is to do with

:23:44. > :23:47.payday loans and PPI insurance. OK. We're very good moaners. You are

:23:48. > :23:49.this morning, you're a right grump. I've got a bad back, Steph. It's

:23:50. > :23:55.very difficult for me. From Gospel singing to acapella,

:23:56. > :23:58.the battle is on to find Singing superstar Chaka Khan

:23:59. > :24:02.and Choir master, Gareth Malone, are among the judges for the BBC's

:24:03. > :24:05.new talent show, Pitch Battle. Our Arts and Entertainment

:24:06. > :24:07.Correspondent, Colin Paterson, Show choirs going head-to-head,

:24:08. > :24:20.hosted by Mel Giedroyc, who gave us

:24:21. > :24:24.a behind-the-scenes tour. # Someday somebody's

:24:25. > :24:26.gonna make you want to It is vocal groups,

:24:27. > :24:31.amazing vocal groups, very varied vocal groups

:24:32. > :24:39.from from gospel choirs to a competing, basically,

:24:40. > :24:42.to be crowned the best vocal group Then we spied one of the choirs

:24:43. > :24:45.leaving the studio. They had just rehearsed in front

:24:46. > :24:48.of this week's guest judge. I just met Chaka Khan

:24:49. > :24:56.and hugged her. You've met Chaka Khan!

:24:57. > :24:58.I haven't met her yet. Yes, just being in her...in

:24:59. > :25:01.that room, I'm... It was amazing, her little face

:25:02. > :25:14.came through the middle # Makes me happy,

:25:15. > :25:40.makes me feel this way. It's the joy of singing, isn't it,

:25:41. > :25:43.this is what we're about. # Chaka Khan, Chaka

:25:44. > :25:51.Khan, Chaka Khan. Chaka Khan, you have

:25:52. > :25:53.not disappointed. First time I've ever met

:25:54. > :25:56.you and you've got a gold fan. # I feel for you,

:25:57. > :26:01.I think I love you. I call it the language

:26:02. > :26:04.of the angels. That's how angels

:26:05. > :26:05.communicate, I think. I mean, I can go anywhere

:26:06. > :26:08.in the world and sing, like, I Feel For You or Ain't Nobody

:26:09. > :26:12.and they know the song even though they don't know what

:26:13. > :26:14.they're saying, you know? And that's a beautiful

:26:15. > :26:28.and a powerful thing. Pitch Battle is based

:26:29. > :26:32.on the Pitch Perfect movies, famous for their riff

:26:33. > :26:34.offs between choirs. A third film in the series will be

:26:35. > :26:37.released later this year and their musical director

:26:38. > :26:39.is on board here. They was singing all the way

:26:40. > :26:41.throughout human history and then once recorded music came along,

:26:42. > :26:44.people sang less, and then all of a sudden you get people

:26:45. > :26:47.being made fun of on TV shows and now everybody thinks

:26:48. > :26:49.they can't sing but we can! Like birds and crickets

:26:50. > :26:51.and whales, we are hardwired So hopefully this show will not only

:26:52. > :26:55.entertain people but inspire them And the two permanent judges have

:26:56. > :27:00.been in choirs all their lives. Yeah, I grew up in a choir in church

:27:01. > :27:04.and then I was in a girl group in high school so I actually

:27:05. > :27:06.spent pretty much, yeah, Thank you for reminding her

:27:07. > :27:16.because nobody's said it Pitch Battle is on Saturday

:27:17. > :27:26.at 7.30pm on BBC One. Time now to get the news,

:27:27. > :30:46.travel and weather where you are. Now though, it's back

:30:47. > :30:53.to Dan and Louise. Hello, this is Breakfast,

:30:54. > :31:00.with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. Theresa May will meet with the DUP

:31:01. > :31:04.leader, Arlene Foster, today, to thrash out a deal that

:31:05. > :31:07.would see the party prop up With Brexit talks due to begin

:31:08. > :31:11.in less than a week, the EU's chief negotiator, Michel

:31:12. > :31:13.Barnier, has urged Theresa May to appoint a negotiating

:31:14. > :31:17.team that is "stable, In the last half hour,

:31:18. > :31:22.the newly appointed Environment Secretary, Michael Gove,

:31:23. > :31:24.told this programme the government needs to listen to the concerns

:31:25. > :31:38.of the public. I think we underestimated some of

:31:39. > :31:43.the reasons behind Labour's support. It is important we do two things.

:31:44. > :31:48.One, that we form a government which is capable of carrying through the

:31:49. > :31:52.public's wishes, including leaving the European Union. And we reflect

:31:53. > :31:56.on the fact we didn't get the majority we wanted, and therefore we

:31:57. > :31:57.need to be properly in listening mode to appreciate what the public

:31:58. > :31:59.concerns are. The European Court of Human Rights

:32:00. > :32:02.in France is due to rule later, on whether the life support

:32:03. > :32:04.of a terminally ill baby boy Charlie Gard's parents

:38:57. > :39:00.For the team, and for what we have achieved for the country, it is

:39:01. > :39:05.amazing. What I hope now is that these players go take this

:39:06. > :39:09.experience and really go on and benefit themselves and benefit our

:40:34. > :40:35.Deborah Simms was runner up in The Great British Sewing

:40:36. > :40:48.Good morning. It is quite shocking that some people can't so on a

:40:49. > :40:52.button? Yes, it is such a simple thing. But if you have never been

:40:53. > :40:58.shown how to do it, it is evident to imagine. You need somebody to show

:40:59. > :41:08.you. A video or Mike Person. If people tried to do it without that,

:41:09. > :41:15.they put the button on... Who told you? My mum, my Nan, my grandma,

:41:16. > :41:20.they all sold when I was younger. They also did it at school when I

:41:21. > :41:26.was at school. You get a little bit at a time. We are showing our age. I

:41:27. > :41:37.was also taught at school. Top tips for sewing on a button? Can you do

:41:38. > :41:41.some judging? Absolutely! I don't want to show you what has happened

:41:42. > :41:51.to my button. It has gone a little rogue. You probably can't see it on

:41:52. > :41:57.there. If you went super close-up you'll see that I been

:41:58. > :42:00.overelaborate. So three times in the same place on the back of the

:42:01. > :42:06.fabric, then come through to the front. Your excesses on the back. I

:42:07. > :42:14.have got a small button. If you go through one, and then diagonal... I

:42:15. > :42:22.tend to go diagonal on the four button. That is the great strength.

:42:23. > :42:30.Triangles are always stronger than squares. A bit of engineering. There

:42:31. > :42:34.is a costing as well. If people lose a button or have a small tear --

:42:35. > :42:39.care in an item of clothing, people will often throw it out rather than

:42:40. > :42:43.fix it. Yes, and part of the reason is because it is so cheap to buy

:42:44. > :42:48.clothes. Taking it to a Taylor is probably more expensive than buying

:42:49. > :42:55.it again. If you can intercede at that level and get the button sewing

:42:56. > :43:01.-- sewn on... The fabric can be worn in places.

:43:02. > :43:06.The fibres can get away from each other, basically. So when you try to

:43:07. > :43:10.fix it, you enter up with a little gap and it creates a crease. You are

:43:11. > :43:16.better using a piece of fabric that matches behind it and attaching that

:43:17. > :43:21.to it. That creates more strength. What are you wearing that you have

:43:22. > :43:29.made yourself? I have made these jazzy trousers myself. I bought the

:43:30. > :43:33.jacket. Jackets are quite complicated? It can be quite

:43:34. > :43:38.complicated. This is quite a simple pattern. A couple of pieces of

:43:39. > :43:44.material sewn together. I jagged like yours is more complicated

:43:45. > :43:53.because you have got more strength. I made it myself and! I could tell.

:43:54. > :44:00.When I did home economics at school, we had to make a pair of shorts. Mrs

:44:01. > :44:06.Glenister, I still remember her, she held up my shorts to the Class to

:44:07. > :44:14.say what a terrible example they wore. One leg was skintight and the

:44:15. > :44:22.other was a bit slowly. I seem to have lost mine. It has disappeared!

:44:23. > :44:28.I would say that you win it for having not lost the button. Thank

:44:29. > :44:30.you very much. Deborah, thank you very much.

:44:31. > :44:32.If you've ever fancied having a nosey around

:44:33. > :44:34.someone else's garden, you could be in luck this weekend.

:44:35. > :44:37.Carol is at one of the private gardens in London that will be

:44:38. > :44:47.We can have a Breakfast sneak preview.

:44:48. > :44:52.Good morning. Good morning, all. It has been lovely here this morning in

:44:53. > :44:55.Kennington Park. You are talking about the gardens being open in

:44:56. > :45:02.London this weekend. Let's talk to Sarah Duffin. You have helped

:45:03. > :45:06.organise the event. Tell us guided? We have 235 gardens opening to the

:45:07. > :45:12.public. Most of them are not open to the public. We have gardens on

:45:13. > :45:15.barges, rooftops, in churches, overground, underground. Something

:45:16. > :45:18.for everyone. It is about celebrating the green spaces and

:45:19. > :45:23.places and getting people out and about.

:45:24. > :45:30.What is the point if they are only open for a couple of days? It is

:45:31. > :45:35.about celebrating gardens and green space, people walking down their

:45:36. > :45:39.local community, they do not know what is in their area, it is about

:45:40. > :45:45.experiencing that, looking at what you cannot normally see. That is a

:45:46. > :45:47.very good point well made! I am sorry we have run out of time, but

:45:48. > :45:58.thank you so much. We are looking at a north/ south

:45:59. > :46:04.divide. In the south, sunny, in the North, more cloud and patchy rain.

:46:05. > :46:08.We do have some rain this morning in Scotland, some will be heavy.

:46:09. > :46:13.Eastern Scotland sees something drier. For more than England, patchy

:46:14. > :46:19.rain from the same weather front, and as we move further south, you

:46:20. > :46:23.will run into more cloud, but it starts to break in places, some

:46:24. > :46:27.sunshine coming through. As we come down towards East Anglia, the

:46:28. > :46:31.Midlands, the South coast, we are looking at a gorgeous start to the

:46:32. > :46:35.day. The temperature picking up quite nicely. Towards the

:46:36. > :46:42.south-west, variable cloud, sunshine. There is a bit more cloud

:46:43. > :46:49.around by the Irish Sea coastline. For North Wales, some patchy rain,

:46:50. > :46:53.as there is across Northern Ireland. The rain in the West will be moving

:46:54. > :46:59.east, but in doing so through the day it will turn more Shari. We will

:47:00. > :47:03.not all catch a shower. In between them, there will be bright spells,

:47:04. > :47:07.even some sunny intervals, but the lion's share of the sunshine will be

:47:08. > :47:11.further south, especially around the Bristol Channel and the English

:47:12. > :47:20.Channel. On the coastline it will be cooler.

:47:21. > :47:28.Generally, 17 to 21 degrees. As we head through the evening and

:47:29. > :47:33.overnight, clear skies, patchy mist and fog for the south-west, heavier

:47:34. > :47:37.showers across northern England and south-west Scotland and like the

:47:38. > :47:42.showers across north-west Scotland. Tomorrow we start with showers in

:47:43. > :47:47.the north-west, but for most, if you like it sunny and warm, tomorrow

:47:48. > :47:58.will be your day. For some of us in the south it will be hot.

:47:59. > :48:06.One or two exceptions, especially across the north-west. UV and Poland

:48:07. > :48:11.will be high tomorrow and through the week. For Thursday, still a lot

:48:12. > :48:15.of dry weather, but a weather front comes into the West, introducing

:48:16. > :48:21.patchy rain and fresher conditions behind. Not cold, but the

:48:22. > :48:23.temperatures are a bit lower. A huge thanks for the hospitality this

:48:24. > :48:29.morning, it has been fabulous. We are having a relaxing time in the

:48:30. > :48:33.studio now. Now, after the last few days,

:48:34. > :48:35.this morning we are calming things down a little,

:48:36. > :48:38.so let's take a breath and relax. With all the early mornings,

:48:39. > :48:40.sleep is one of our favourite But getting your children off

:48:41. > :48:44.to sleep can sometimes And as the BBC's Terrific Scientific

:48:45. > :48:53.scheme has been finding out, slumber This classroom study

:48:54. > :49:02.is the latest experiment from... The BBC scheme to help bring

:49:03. > :49:13.science to life with real, This latest experiment

:49:14. > :49:19.is all about... In fact, it is the very first

:49:20. > :49:24.scientific study into the impact And what they wanted

:49:25. > :49:30.to find out was... What impact the clocks going forward

:49:31. > :49:34.had on sleep and our concentration. But the results are not

:49:35. > :49:42.what they expected. This is how they tested

:49:43. > :49:48.reaction times before But also, reaction times before

:49:49. > :49:51.and after the lunch break. Almost 1,000 children carried out

:49:52. > :49:54.these tests first thing in the morning and again

:49:55. > :49:58.in the afternoon. Initially, we thought

:49:59. > :50:00.we would look into before and after the clock changed,

:50:01. > :50:02.but really, the surprising finding was that it was the difference

:50:03. > :50:05.between morning and afternoon The data was crunched by academics

:50:06. > :50:15.here at Oxford University, and it is so significant it

:50:16. > :50:19.could overturn traditional beliefs about how the school

:50:20. > :50:22.day is mapped out. Does it therefore follow that

:50:23. > :50:26.if they are sharper and quicker with their motor skills,

:50:27. > :50:28.they are going to be sharper and quicker with their mental

:50:29. > :50:34.skills, that maybe the literacy hour needs to be shifted

:50:35. > :50:39.into the afternoon, I assume it would,

:50:40. > :50:45.from the findings we have. Back in class, they

:50:46. > :50:47.are also surprised. Mostly, the school day is geared up

:50:48. > :50:50.to kids being really sharp We schedule all the "difficult"

:50:51. > :51:01.subjects, the ones they have to concentrate on, like maths

:51:02. > :51:05.and literacy and reading Then in the afternoon we do

:51:06. > :51:10.more-practical activities and things like topic work

:51:11. > :51:14.and things like that. So, yes, it was very interesting

:51:15. > :51:17.to see that, actually, the morning was the worst time

:51:18. > :51:20.for them to do those things. A lot of people have said,

:51:21. > :51:23.haven't they, that children It is a significant

:51:24. > :51:29.result for the BBC's Terrific Scientific teams,

:51:30. > :51:32.research which could potentially shape their own school day,

:51:33. > :51:46.maybe even improve it. Joining us now is James Wilson,

:51:47. > :51:49.a sleep practitioner who also advises the Children's Sleep

:51:50. > :52:01.Charity. I was surprised, this was a surprise

:52:02. > :52:04.thing they found, children are perhaps more awake and alert in the

:52:05. > :52:10.afternoon. Especially children of that age, nine to 11-year-olds.

:52:11. > :52:15.Primary school teachers will find kids are more alert in the morning,

:52:16. > :52:18.but that might be for younger children, because as kids move

:52:19. > :52:26.towards their teenage years, their sleep patterns change. The levels of

:52:27. > :52:30.energy of their during the afternoon period. It could be they are getting

:52:31. > :52:37.older. Loads of comments. David says, I

:52:38. > :52:41.have taught maths for 43 years, far more students fall asleep in the

:52:42. > :52:46.afternoon than in the morning. Maria says, I have three boys, I have

:52:47. > :52:51.always followed a bedtime routine, they have always gone to bed with no

:52:52. > :52:55.problems, consistency is the key. Trying to get your kids to sleep, is

:52:56. > :53:01.the routine and essential part? Really important. You warm up for

:53:02. > :53:05.sport you wind down force, you have to get into the habit that drops

:53:06. > :53:12.your heart rate and your core temperature, meditation, threading

:53:13. > :53:17.buttons is a great thing! We did that, it was so relaxing. It helps

:53:18. > :53:23.you relax before bed. A bath or shower. An hour before bed, trying

:53:24. > :53:29.to move away from things that increased the heart rate, and

:53:30. > :53:33.towards things that relax us. Is there a bedtime for different age

:53:34. > :53:38.groups? It is trying to understand your child as an individual, we all

:53:39. > :53:43.have different times. Try to understand your child. If they fall

:53:44. > :53:49.asleep within half an hour, it is the right time. If they struggle, if

:53:50. > :53:53.they come downstairs and complain, the best thing might be to put them

:53:54. > :53:57.to bed later. We focus on quantity, because we can measure it, but we

:53:58. > :54:04.need to think about quality, it is better to have a bit less sleep but

:54:05. > :54:08.have better quality. Rather than waking up a few times in the night.

:54:09. > :54:13.To come back to the routine, but about catching up and sleeping more

:54:14. > :54:21.at weekends? Does not cause issues? I have done a team sleep project,

:54:22. > :54:26.teenagers were lying in at the weekend, because they were getting

:54:27. > :54:34.up to early. They are waking up at 6am, it is like as waking up at 4am.

:54:35. > :54:38.I will take 4am, to be honest! We are giving our teenagers sleep

:54:39. > :54:41.deprivation, so they catch up at the weekend, but they are kidding

:54:42. > :54:47.themselves social jet lag. One teenager woke up at 6pm on a regular

:54:48. > :54:51.basis, he was basically going to Florida every weekend, and then

:54:52. > :55:01.trying to get up in the morning in the week was a struggle. If children

:55:07. > :55:12.they are struggling to sleep. If people are sleeping well... Parents

:55:13. > :55:19.say, my kids sleep well, that is not a problem, so leave it. But if they

:55:20. > :55:31.are not sleeping, when I work with teenagers, we put in place the idea

:55:32. > :55:36.of being sleepy, not tired. The winding down routine before bed. In

:55:37. > :55:40.the morning, waking up as consistently as possible, and with

:55:41. > :55:44.daylight. At the moment it is great, daylight is there, but in the

:55:45. > :55:48.winter, using a sunshine alarm clock helps get our bodies going. It can

:55:49. > :55:52.help the kids get more active. Interesting advice. Thank you for

:55:53. > :55:55.your text and tweaked and comment. Ten years ago, Sophie Lancaster

:55:56. > :55:58.was murdered by two teenagers, simply for being different

:55:59. > :56:00.from them. The 20-year-old died as she tried

:56:01. > :56:02.to protect her boyfriend who was set upon because,

:56:03. > :56:07.like her, he was dressed as a goth. The story of that brutal

:56:08. > :56:09.attack has now been made But first, here's

:56:10. > :56:20.a clip from the drama. Sophie is actually more

:56:21. > :56:24.poorly than we thought, What I'm saying is she is poorlier

:56:25. > :56:40.than you now, a lot poorlier. They have not been

:56:41. > :56:52.able to wake her up. They are never going to be able to,

:56:53. > :57:00.that is what they have realised. And they're going to

:57:01. > :57:10.turn her machine off. We're joined now by Nick Leather,

:57:11. > :57:37.who's the writer of BBC Three's Murdered For Being Different,

:57:38. > :57:50.and also Abigail Lawrie, I have followed this story from the

:57:51. > :57:58.beginning, it is really heartbreaking. Why did you want to

:57:59. > :58:02.make it into a drama? If you look at the bare the newspaper headline, it

:58:03. > :58:08.fills you with despair. It is so terrible. It is a hate crime. But

:58:09. > :58:15.the story is a love story, when you dig into it. Whether it is their

:58:16. > :58:21.relationship, Sophie's actions during the attack, Rob's mum's

:58:22. > :58:26.since, and Sophie's mum since, there is so much love. You want to tell

:58:27. > :58:33.the wider story. When we do that, what we all want is that it leaves

:58:34. > :58:38.us with some hope. We cling to that. We all need a bit of that. What is

:58:39. > :58:42.it like for you, preparing for a role like this? It is an important

:58:43. > :58:49.story, but to tell it in the right way? Initially it was daunting, such

:58:50. > :58:54.a harrowing story, and a true story, but as soon as I read the script and

:58:55. > :59:02.did some research into her story, I've realised how important it was

:59:03. > :59:04.and is that this is told. Although it was difficult emotionally, the

:59:05. > :59:09.most difficult part was the idea that it was all real, everything

:59:10. > :59:14.that we were acting happened. Hate crimes like this are still happening

:59:15. > :59:20.all around the world. That was the most difficult part.

:59:21. > :59:29.She was an incredibly brave young woman, given what she attempted to

:59:30. > :59:35.do when her boyfriend was attacked? Incredibly brave. From what I know

:59:36. > :59:41.she was a strong, kind, compassionate girl, who was in love,

:59:42. > :59:49.and would do anything to protect the boy she loved. She was at such an

:59:50. > :59:53.exciting time in her life. From playing the role and putting this

:59:54. > :59:58.drama together, it is that responsibility element as well. I

:59:59. > :00:04.know you worked with Robert and Robert's mum, and Sophie's mum as

:00:05. > :00:09.well. How have they reacted? You want this drama to have an impact on

:00:10. > :00:13.everyone, but more than anything else you felt a responsibility to

:00:14. > :00:21.them and you wanted to be right for them. Rather, his mum, and Sophie's

:00:22. > :00:26.mum Sylvia, read the script, and have seen the drama since. Their

:00:27. > :00:34.support has been overwhelming. That was what we really wanted. Was it

:00:35. > :00:38.important to you that they thought you got it right? Absolutely so

:00:39. > :00:42.important. We are writing about the worst thing that ever happened to

:00:43. > :00:46.someone. It is a responsibility but it is also a privilege, because you

:00:47. > :00:50.are trying to reclaim that story and tell it the right way, show their

:00:51. > :00:59.lives beyond the awful thing that happened. There is no verification

:01:00. > :01:02.of this act in the drama. -- glorification. We are watching more

:01:03. > :01:07.of these interpretations of real crimes that are taking place. We had

:01:08. > :01:12.Shannon Matthews and Rees Jones lately. What do you think the

:01:13. > :01:17.appetite for that kind of thing is? It goes back to what I was saying

:01:18. > :01:21.before, where the incident is one of despair, we would look for something

:01:22. > :01:25.else beyond it. That is what we are desperate for. We want to believe

:01:26. > :01:28.there is something to hold onto. And the wider story in all of these

:01:29. > :01:34.cases tends to leave you with something else. There are inspiring

:01:35. > :01:39.parts to these stories. You touched a little bit about this, how

:01:40. > :01:45.difficult it is playing a role when that person is a real person? Yeah,

:01:46. > :01:52.it was different. Like you said before, there is a responsibility to

:01:53. > :01:57.portray the stories as authentically as we could. I spoke a lot to Paul,

:01:58. > :02:02.the director, beforehand, and I did quite a lot of research, watched

:02:03. > :02:07.documentaries. To try to emulate the story as best I could. Your route

:02:08. > :02:17.into the industry is an interesting one. You didn't go to drama school.

:02:18. > :02:21.We saw you in a JK Rowling adaptation. What is next? I think

:02:22. > :02:28.I'd just like to keep learning, doing as many things as I can. There

:02:29. > :02:34.is a sky Atlantic TV series later this year that I filmed last year in

:02:35. > :02:39.Canada, which was really brilliant. But here, in terms of a career path,

:02:40. > :02:48.I'd like to keep learning. Doing as much and as many different things as

:02:49. > :02:50.I can. And the title of the drama is Murdered for Being Different, a key

:02:51. > :03:00.issue we are all dealing with the many ways? Yes, there is that story

:03:01. > :03:04.now. Ten years on, hate crimes, reported hate crime is going up

:03:05. > :03:09.year-on-year. We wish it wasn't irrelevant story now. It becomes

:03:10. > :03:10.more relevant with every year, every month, every week. Thank you very

:03:11. > :03:12.much indeed. Murdered For Being Different will be

:03:13. > :03:15.on BBC Three on the BBC iPlayer In a few moments, we'll hear

:03:16. > :03:27.from the man who stumbled across one of the biggest scandals in sport,

:03:28. > :03:29.thanks to a chance meeting But first, let's take a last,

:03:30. > :03:35.brief look at the headlines When film director and amateur

:03:36. > :05:19.cyclist Bryan Fogel set out to document how easy

:05:20. > :05:22.it was to get away with doping, he didn't expect to help expose one

:05:23. > :05:26.of the biggest scandals in sport. A chance meeting with a Russian

:05:27. > :05:29.scientist led him to But first, let's take

:05:30. > :06:00.a look at the film. We could making clean before Sochi,

:06:01. > :06:03.one month. -- make him clean. Through the competition so they

:06:04. > :06:13.could be at the very top level? Right. So instead of using the

:06:14. > :06:20.science, the science you developed to get around the system, you

:06:21. > :06:28.abandoned the science? Yes. The most important yes.

:06:29. > :06:30.Ladies and gentlemen, let me declare the 126th session of the

:06:31. > :06:34.International Olympic Committee open. Thank you.

:06:35. > :06:37.Bryan popped in yesterday to tell us more about his experience

:06:38. > :06:42.I began by asking him why he first decided to look into the use

:06:43. > :06:59.I was more curious as to whether the anti-system in sport work. And my

:07:00. > :07:04.curiosity led me to turn myself into a human guinea pig to figure out

:07:05. > :07:10.whether in fact it did work. And that really came from, in January

:07:11. > :07:17.2013, Lance Armstrong confesses that he had been doping. According to all

:07:18. > :07:21.the scientists and him, he was tested somewhere in the

:07:22. > :07:27.neighbourhood of 500 times during his career. And not a single one of

:07:28. > :07:32.those 500 tests was ever positive. So I'm going, wait, what is wrong

:07:33. > :07:39.with this system? This is only three years ago. An athlete tested 500

:07:40. > :07:43.times, the most tested athlete on planet Earth, is never positive. The

:07:44. > :07:46.only way that he actually confesses to doping is because his own

:07:47. > :07:53.team-mates, who did the exact same thing that he did, ratted him out in

:07:54. > :07:57.exchange for their own immunity under criminal investigation. So I'm

:07:58. > :08:01.going, what does this mean not for cycling, but all of sport? What does

:08:02. > :08:10.this mean for all of the other sports hardly tested and all the

:08:11. > :08:14.other athletes that aren't having 500 anti-De in tests over a period

:08:15. > :08:19.of 15 years? You made yourself a human guinea pig to see how these

:08:20. > :08:23.substances are affected your performances. But the story then

:08:24. > :08:28.changed and a different film came out in the end. At what point did

:08:29. > :08:35.the story changed to I ended up working with a scientist. He was

:08:36. > :08:43.running the Wada laboratory at the time. The accredited laboratory for

:08:44. > :08:46.Moscow. Basically it was doing all of the testing for all of Russia.

:08:47. > :08:52.All international competitions in Russia, including the Sochi Olympics

:08:53. > :08:58.of 2014. That laboratory would be doing next year's World Cup in

:08:59. > :09:02.Moscow. This is the third anti-doping laboratory in the world.

:09:03. > :09:07.He is the director. I basically get him to teach me how to dope, what to

:09:08. > :09:12.do, when to take what, and also that he is going to test my samples

:09:13. > :09:14.through his lab. That is kind of crazy, because each shouldn't have

:09:15. > :09:19.been doing any of that to begin with. But he agrees. Other deer and

:09:20. > :09:25.a half into the process, first as laboratory is under investigation.

:09:26. > :09:28.And when I am filming for about a year, this investigation is ongoing

:09:29. > :09:39.but I don't know what is happening. In November 2015, Wada, they release

:09:40. > :09:42.this report. This 335 page report saying that Russia has a

:09:43. > :09:48.state-sponsored doping programme, and that every Russian athlete and

:09:49. > :09:53.track and field athlete is over this split -- state-sponsored programme.

:09:54. > :09:57.Overnight Gregory's life is at risk. Putin is on state television saying

:09:58. > :10:03.this is not true. And that they are going to hold the individuals

:10:04. > :10:07.accountable. And suddenly Gregory is in jeopardy of his life. He is

:10:08. > :10:14.telling me is going to be killed by the FSB, the KGB. That they

:10:15. > :10:19.applauded his suicide. And in a period of about 24-hour 's, and this

:10:20. > :10:25.is only six days after this report comes out, Russia is in crisis, this

:10:26. > :10:30.is worldwide news, it is covered extensively on BBC, I help Gregory

:10:31. > :10:35.flee Moscow. He arrives in Los Angeles. And over the next few

:10:36. > :10:39.months he essentially tells me that he has been the mastermind for the

:10:40. > :10:44.last 12 years of Russian state-sponsored doping programme,

:10:45. > :10:52.that goes across all sports. All sports. And changes all of Olympic

:10:53. > :10:57.history. All Olympic history. I know you paid for is a fair. He came to

:10:58. > :11:04.you and he had these files. What about yourself? You must have been

:11:05. > :11:10.pretty alarmed. You are making one documentary and suddenly you making

:11:11. > :11:13.something quite monumental? I was... It was incredible. It was incredibly

:11:14. > :11:18.scary that all of a sudden I'm sitting on what I considered to be

:11:19. > :11:25.this nuclear bomb of information. And Gregory arrives and I don't know

:11:26. > :11:32.what is on this hard drive. He hands it to me and there are 1700

:11:33. > :11:38.documents on it. These documents prove the scope of this operation.

:11:39. > :11:42.He had evidence all the way back to Beijing. The spreadsheets of every

:11:43. > :11:47.single Russian athlete in Beijing, every Russian athlete in London,

:11:48. > :11:54.every Russian affluent -- athlete in Sochi. The drugs they were taking,

:11:55. > :11:57.how they were getting around it. We had the e-mails between himself and

:11:58. > :12:00.the Russian Ministry, meaning this is a state-sponsored problem. He was

:12:01. > :12:06.the only person on planet earth that had with this. The two other guys

:12:07. > :12:12.aware of this system both ended up dead within two weeks of each other.

:12:13. > :12:13.An extraordinary story. It made headlines all around the world.

:12:14. > :12:17.Icarus is being featured at the Sheffield Doc Fest this week,

:12:18. > :12:21.and will be released on Netflix in August.

:12:22. > :12:24.They paid a vast amount of money for it as well.

:12:25. > :12:28.Next on BBC One, it's day two of Crimewatch road show.

:12:29. > :12:31.We saw the team at New Scotland Yard yesterday.

:12:32. > :12:36.We're at the police training college in Hendon, where all Met recruits

:12:37. > :12:42.It's a fascinating place, and one I know well.

:12:43. > :12:50.We also have detectives from the Royal Military

:12:51. > :12:54.They're making a national appeal for the first time on the case

:12:55. > :12:57.of a young woman from Glasgow, who was murdered on a RAF

:12:58. > :12:59.base in Germany exactly 24 years ago today.

:13:00. > :13:01.We're hoping someone watching will have the vital

:13:02. > :13:04.information her family so desperately need.
