:01:47. > :01:47.for you in a round about 15 minutes. Thanks, Helen.

:01:48. > :01:51.Church services will be held today to remember the victims

:02:23. > :02:26.on, the community is still angry about a lack of communication,

:02:27. > :02:30.communication and accountability. It's always the public that runs to

:02:31. > :02:36.the rescue. Where's the authorities? Where are they? Residents, community

:02:37. > :02:39.leaders and volunteers took their frustrations to Downing Street,

:02:40. > :02:42.spending two hours with the Prime Minister. It was a robust

:02:43. > :02:46.discussion, there was forceful emotion in the room, people were

:02:47. > :02:51.able to say what they wanted to say and we felt that was listened to and

:02:52. > :02:54.listened to carefully. Theresa May, who is coming for widespread

:03:19. > :03:23.provide psychological support. As people wait and pray for the

:03:24. > :03:27.missing, church services today will remember those who didn't make it

:03:28. > :03:32.out of Grenfell Tower. A reminder of the complex and lengthy process of

:03:33. > :03:35.recovering bodies from this charred shell. Nick Quraishi, BBC News.

:03:36. > :03:38.We can speak now to our correspondent, Simon Jones,

:03:39. > :03:40.who is outside Notting Hill Methodist Church where one

:03:41. > :03:51.We understand as well as the services today the co-ordination is

:03:52. > :03:59.key and Whitehall staff have been drafted in to help? The outside of

:04:00. > :04:03.this church has become a sea of flowers and also pictures of many of

:04:04. > :04:07.the people missing, now sadly presumed dead. On the night of the

:04:08. > :04:14.fire, churches like this one open their doors at 3am to welcome people

:04:15. > :04:17.in, to offer support, then they collected donations in the following

:04:18. > :04:22.days but a lot of people have been saying this really shouldn't be the

:04:23. > :04:26.role solely of the Church and volunteers, where is the government

:04:27. > :04:29.and the local council, why aren't they doing more? Stung by this

:04:30. > :04:34.criticism is why the government has sent in a team of civil servants who

:04:35. > :04:38.will be based at the council to try to improve the response. I want to

:04:39. > :04:42.give you a sense of the geography here, the outside of the Church and

:04:43. > :04:47.then we've got a police cordon here which is keeping people away because

:04:48. > :04:54.just in the distance is the tower itself. Still all these days on

:04:55. > :04:59.really quite a sight for people to seek. Now, today there will be a

:05:00. > :05:04.church service in this particular church at around 11am -- see. Here

:05:05. > :05:10.they're feeling they want to move on from the initial crisis management

:05:11. > :05:15.after the initial dealing with the fire to really dealing with people's

:05:16. > :05:19.fears and the effect it's had on them, a lot of people remain of

:05:20. > :05:27.course very traumatised by what they saw and still buy this site behind

:05:28. > :05:28.me. Thanks, Simon, we will be with him through the morning following

:05:29. > :05:30.events. A fall in the number of people

:05:31. > :05:33.who own their own home is fuelling inequality in Britain,

:05:34. > :05:36.according to a new report. Research from the Resolution

:05:37. > :05:38.Foundation think tank suggests that 10% of adults own around half

:05:39. > :05:41.of the nation's wealth. Our business correspondent,

:05:42. > :05:51.Joe Lynam, has more. The awful fire at Grenfell Tower has

:05:52. > :05:56.highlighted for many the issue of inequality in Britain. Dozens dead

:05:57. > :06:01.in the wealthiest borough in the UK. Now an independent think tank has

:06:02. > :06:05.said inequality has worsened since the great recession because fewer

:06:06. > :06:08.people own their own homes. The Resolution Foundation says property

:06:09. > :06:12.ownership is now spread less evenly than salaries and incomes are. It

:06:13. > :06:19.says the richest 10% of the population own ?5 trillion, or half

:06:20. > :06:24.the UK's wealth, while the top 1% of 14% of Britain's Wealth. By

:06:25. > :06:30.contrast, 15% of adults have no or negative wealth. Wealth is arguably

:06:31. > :06:33.the biggest determinant of living standards of people's lives but yet

:06:34. > :06:39.it barely features in today's living standards debates and that's a deal

:06:40. > :06:42.because our research shows wealthiest BARB less bread and

:06:43. > :06:46.incomes and because of declining property ownership, declining home

:06:47. > :06:49.ownership, for least wealthy households that inequality has

:06:50. > :06:53.started to go up. The report is part of a wider study into a growing gap

:06:54. > :06:57.between older and younger people. The foundation says older people

:06:58. > :07:03.have incubated wealth due to wider housing -- rising house prices as

:07:04. > :07:06.well is contemplated pensions which the young won't enjoy. The

:07:07. > :07:10.government says we want to build an economy that works for everyone.

:07:11. > :07:14.Income inequality is at its lowest level since the mid-19 80s and the

:07:15. > :07:16.lowest paid saw their wages grow faster than for 20 years. Joe Lynam,

:07:17. > :07:17.BBC News. The government says it intends

:07:18. > :07:20.to double the length of the new Parliamentary session

:07:21. > :07:23.to two years to give MPs the maximum possible time to scrutinise

:07:24. > :07:25.Brexit legislation. The unusual move will mean next

:07:26. > :07:27.year's Queen's Speech The government says the decision

:07:28. > :07:31.was part of measures to build the broadest possible

:07:32. > :07:40.consensus for Brexit. A forest fire in central Portugal

:07:41. > :07:43.has killed at least 24 people. 16 of the victims died

:07:44. > :07:46.in their vehicles when they became trapped as they tried

:07:47. > :08:03.to escape the flames. A deadly mix of their heat wave have

:08:04. > :08:06.fanned the flames. Now threatening to engulf homes, burning

:08:07. > :08:11.uncontrollably, this fire is already one of the worst forest fires in

:08:12. > :08:15.Portugal in decades. More than 20 people have died, most of them

:08:16. > :08:21.trapped in their cars. A number of people were reported to be missing.

:08:22. > :08:25.TRANSLATION: It was a big tragedy. We've already identified 24 victims

:08:26. > :08:30.but this number could rise. All of those who died were on a road in the

:08:31. > :08:34.same fire at the same place. It started on Saturday at 3pm local

:08:35. > :08:39.time in a mountainous area 200 kilometres north-east of Lisbon.

:08:40. > :08:44.Around 500 firefighters were called to the scene. TRANSLATION: I was

:08:45. > :08:52.there staring at my house, I don't know what will happen with it now!

:08:53. > :08:56.Officials described the fire spreading violently, some properties

:08:57. > :08:59.have been destroyed. The local mayor said there wasn't enough

:09:00. > :09:01.firefighters to deal with the number of villages at risk. Nimesh Thaker,

:09:39. > :09:49.of the Labour MP Jo Cox. The Cure Get-together was organised

:09:50. > :09:52.by her family to celebrate her life and unite communities, as Fiona

:09:53. > :09:59.Trott explains. The perfect day for a great

:10:00. > :10:06.get-together. Hundreds of people of all ages all gathered here at Green

:10:07. > :10:09.Park. They just wanted to come together, be neighbourly and show

:10:10. > :10:14.support for the family of their old MP. The kids are over there at the

:10:15. > :10:17.moment eating too many pancakes, we had about six cakes and three ice

:10:18. > :10:22.creams so they'll be bouncing around for the rest of the date. It's a

:10:23. > :10:25.sort of thing she would have thrown herself into, she would have been

:10:26. > :10:29.buzzing around to as many as possible and that sense of how do we

:10:30. > :10:32.focus on those things, as Jo spoke about in her maiden speech, the

:10:33. > :10:36.things we have in common. We spend so much time fixating on the

:10:37. > :10:39.differences and in fact people here and across the country will be

:10:40. > :10:42.coming together for a moment and celebrating the things we have in

:10:43. > :10:47.common, which this weekend includes good weather, which is a nice

:10:48. > :10:53.change. 120,000 are then side taking place. This national celebration of

:10:54. > :10:59.what people have in common continues throughout the rest of today. Fiona

:11:21. > :11:30.It looks wonderful there but I bet it wasn't always like that. When

:11:31. > :11:32.they were in the middle of the Pacific Pines suspect it was raging!

:11:33. > :11:35.Let's talk more about that story, which claims wealth inequality

:11:36. > :11:39.Conor D'Arcy is from the Resolution Foundation think

:11:40. > :11:44.tank, which wrote the report, and we can speak to him now.

:11:45. > :11:52.Good morning to you and thank you for getting up bright and early to

:11:53. > :11:57.talk to us. What has caused this growth in wealth inequality? Wealth

:11:58. > :12:01.has always been quite an equally spread, to some extent whether you

:12:02. > :12:04.have a job or not you have some income but the size of wealth you've

:12:05. > :12:09.got is really unequally distributed and that's a long-term trend. What

:12:10. > :12:14.we saw in the 1990s and the 2000s was more and more people were able

:12:15. > :12:18.to buy their own home and that was a really important way of reducing

:12:19. > :12:22.wealth inequality as house prices rose quickly and that was a big boon

:12:23. > :12:28.to lower and middle income families. What we've seen since the recession,

:12:29. > :12:32.it's not news it is harder to get on the housing ladder now, the amount

:12:33. > :12:36.you have to save to get a mortgage in the first place is a lot higher

:12:37. > :12:39.and that's been an important trend and we seen this growing wealth

:12:40. > :12:42.inequality against and is the start of the recession. The office of

:12:43. > :12:48.national statistics today report earlier this year and they said

:12:49. > :12:52.household disposable income and income inequality is falling. Who do

:12:53. > :12:56.we believe, they're more you? They are two different things we are

:12:57. > :13:01.talking about. There's income, how much you have coming in from work or

:13:02. > :13:05.from your benefits, whatever is coming in from day to day and what

:13:06. > :13:08.you have to spend. Wealth is what we think of when what is left over

:13:09. > :13:12.after that spend, your financial assets, how much you have in

:13:13. > :13:18.savings, current accounts, how much property wealth you own and how much

:13:19. > :13:21.pension wealth you own. There's two different trends and definitely

:13:22. > :13:25.income inequality has been flat and fallen a bit, and that is welcome,

:13:26. > :13:29.but what we've seen in wealth inequality is it is still really

:13:30. > :13:33.high and it is creeping up again in the last few years. You mention

:13:34. > :13:37.house prices, for a lot of people the value of their home is not a

:13:38. > :13:42.realisable assets for much of their life anyway. Lots of people own a

:13:43. > :13:46.home which on the face of it is worth quite a lot but they are cash

:13:47. > :13:55.poor nonetheless. That's a really good point. Just because people have

:13:56. > :13:58.lots of well that's not necessarily a guarantee things are hunky-dory.

:13:59. > :14:05.It is the value of having your own home. As was mentioned in the piece,

:14:06. > :14:09.we are interested in how this plays out across the life course and

:14:10. > :14:12.across different generations. If you're a young person today trying

:14:13. > :14:16.to get on the housing ladder, that's not just a place for you to live in

:14:17. > :14:20.the short you're building up an asset you can rely on in retirement

:14:21. > :14:24.so when you're finished working you don't have money coming into the

:14:25. > :14:27.same extent as during your working life but if you're renting you still

:14:28. > :14:31.have to find money to cover your renting costs. There's a long-term

:14:32. > :14:35.dynamic that is really important in wealth. This issue to some extent

:14:36. > :14:40.has been thrown into sharp relief this week with what happened with

:14:41. > :14:45.the tragedy at Grenfell Tower and people have talked about such an

:14:46. > :14:49.affluent borough as Kensington and Chelsea Council yet people living in

:14:50. > :14:53.the conditions and the clearly dangerous situation they found

:14:54. > :14:57.themselves. Does that play into what you're talking about here? Obviously

:14:58. > :15:03.first and foremost it's a tragedy what happened. I think there is

:15:04. > :15:06.massive inequality in London in general but specifically in

:15:07. > :15:11.Kensington, it is hard to look past that. But what we're talking about

:15:12. > :15:14.are two different trends, were talking about whether people own

:15:15. > :15:19.their own homes and whether they have wealth. Whatever home you live

:15:20. > :15:22.in a basic should be that there is health and safety annual meeting

:15:23. > :15:27.minimum standards. I'm not an expert on health and safety so I can't

:15:28. > :15:30.really comment. Even if we do see rising inequality and fewer people

:15:31. > :15:34.owning their own homes, health and safety is a basic everyone should be

:15:35. > :15:36.able to rely on. Thank you very much indeed for your time, Conor D'Arcy

:15:37. > :15:50.from the Resolution Foundation. It is quarter past six and the

:15:51. > :15:57.Sunshine is out. I didn't wear sunscreen, but not enough yesterday.

:15:58. > :16:02.Today will be another scorching day. Helen will tell us about it. But

:16:03. > :16:10.look at this morning! This is the view at Salford, just glorious. One

:16:11. > :16:13.of the first Acer have come into work without a coat. Helen has a

:16:14. > :16:23.misty picture behind her. I just want to show you something a

:16:24. > :16:29.little different. Football on the beach in Wales, how lovely. And the

:16:30. > :16:33.sun is strong, of course, and I will talk about that. As strong as it

:16:34. > :16:41.gets and unusually high. This is the picture in Southwark. It is on its

:16:42. > :16:45.way out already, dismissed. Just at this time of year with a quiet night

:16:46. > :16:52.it will then be a little misty in places. But that is being burnt away

:16:53. > :16:55.as I speak and we see temperatures reaching 30 degrees yesterday,

:16:56. > :17:00.equally as hot today, possibly one or two degrees more for most parts

:17:01. > :17:06.of the country. Except in the north-east of Scotland again. I came

:17:07. > :17:11.in without a coat today as well. I won't need one to go home either.

:17:12. > :17:16.We're not all enjoying the sunshine. It is a bleak picture across the

:17:17. > :17:20.north-west Highlands. The rain yesterday with dribs and drabs and

:17:21. > :17:25.low cloud. Not a day for taking to the hills. The eastern side of

:17:26. > :17:28.Scotland, much of the eastern Northern Ireland you can see again,

:17:29. > :17:34.the north-west of Northern Ireland has more cloud. Across England and

:17:35. > :17:37.Wales, apart from morning mist and sea fog it is basically plain

:17:38. > :17:43.sailing and wall-to-wall sunshine. Even less cloud than yesterday. It

:17:44. > :17:47.is the way it continues. We will see Fairweather cloud bubbling up and

:17:48. > :17:53.rain coming and going across the north of Scotland. Just the outside

:17:54. > :17:58.chance today, because of the heat is more than anything else and the wind

:17:59. > :18:03.coming together, that we could see a late afternoon thunderstorm. That is

:18:04. > :18:07.the exception, rather than the rule. Most of us will remain dry and hot.

:18:08. > :18:16.Potentially reaching 32 across south-east Anglia. A degree up

:18:17. > :18:20.elsewhere. So you do not need me to tell you that pollen levels are

:18:21. > :18:23.high, very high in places. As we have already demonstrated this

:18:24. > :18:28.morning, the sun is quite strong as well. Write the way across England

:18:29. > :18:32.and Wales, you very rarely see this very high category so please take

:18:33. > :18:39.precautions. The strength of the sun not driven by temperature so even if

:18:40. > :18:46.you have a refreshing seabreeze it is still as strong. The heat is here

:18:47. > :18:49.to stay. You can see on Monday in Sheffield Manchester. Temperatures

:18:50. > :18:53.drop a little bit is that northern weather front advances towards the

:18:54. > :18:55.south. The heat is with us in the south and till the middle of the

:18:56. > :18:58.week. That does look nice. This week Mark Kermode joins

:18:59. > :19:02.Jane Hill to discuss this week's "Churchill" and "Whitney -

:19:03. > :19:20.Can I Be Me." Hello and welcome to

:19:21. > :19:23.the Film Review on BBC News. To take us through this

:19:24. > :19:25.week's cinema releases, We have Churchill with a powerhouse

:19:26. > :19:34.performance by Bryan Cox. We have Gifted which is not what it

:19:35. > :19:38.looks like it's going to be. And Whitney: Can I Be Me,

:19:39. > :19:41.the new documentary by Nick He gives some fantastic

:19:42. > :19:53.performances. He plays Winston Churchill,

:19:54. > :19:56.which is a very big role. Effectively, he is played

:19:57. > :20:00.as a bulldog but as a kind You know, the military bosses

:20:01. > :20:08.are off doing their thing, he is somebody who is seen much

:20:09. > :20:11.more as a figurehead. He is convinced, in the film,

:20:12. > :20:13.that the D-Day landings, the operation is very,

:20:14. > :20:16.very flawed and very dangerous and is going to end possibly

:20:17. > :20:19.in tragic loss of life, He is sort of flashing

:20:20. > :20:23.back to World War I. We see him at the beginning,

:20:27. > :20:30.starts to turn red and he is having And so the film is basically

:20:31. > :20:36.about him in the days leading up to D-Day, attempting to convince

:20:37. > :20:38.everybody that this is not This will be the greatest

:20:39. > :20:48.campaign we have mounted Operation Overlord will require

:20:49. > :20:53.200,000 vehicles, a fleet 7000 ships, swarms of planes,

:20:54. > :20:55.most essentially a quarter All this will be focused in one

:20:56. > :21:06.place, taking the German This plan may be admirable

:21:07. > :21:20.in its bravery but in its risk Our own casualty estimates predict

:21:21. > :21:26.that anything up to 160,000 French If Overlord fails -

:21:27. > :21:33.which it all too easily could - we would lose at one strike most

:21:34. > :21:37.of our war material along with tens Is it fair to say not a straight

:21:38. > :21:52.biopic because of this is looking And I have to say I think the film

:21:53. > :21:59.is carried shoulder high by Brian He brings an awful lot

:22:00. > :22:02.of King Lear to this role. I mean, a number of people have

:22:03. > :22:05.pointed out, including Brian Cox himself, he plays Winston Churchill

:22:06. > :22:08.as this kind of slightly wounded figure, somebody who is a man out

:22:09. > :22:12.of time, somebody who is no longer in the position of power

:22:13. > :22:15.that they think they ought to be, and somebody who is also deeply

:22:16. > :22:18.conflicted, who is haunted by the ghost of Gallipoli,

:22:19. > :22:21.who is absolutely convinced that what's going to happen is that they

:22:22. > :22:24.are walking towards tragedy. There are very few people

:22:25. > :22:26.to whom he listens - one is the King and the other

:22:27. > :22:30.is Miranda Richardson, as Clemmie. Actually performing alongside

:22:31. > :22:35.Brian Cox, who is doing such a great role - all eyes are on Brian Cox -

:22:36. > :22:39.it is a real tribute to Miranda Richardson that she holds

:22:40. > :22:42.the screen as well as she does, which is no surprise

:22:43. > :22:45.because she is a fantastic actor. There is a subplot about

:22:46. > :22:50.a secretary, a new secretary who is brought in, through whose

:22:51. > :22:52.eyes we originally meet Winston She then has a relationship

:22:53. > :22:56.with the man also involved in the campaign, and all this weaves

:22:57. > :23:00.through the drama in a way which feels much too much

:23:01. > :23:02.like melodramatic contrivance. It also feels like it doesn't really

:23:03. > :23:05.need it because the story itself I know that the particular take

:23:06. > :23:15.on history has ruffled some people's feathers but for me it felt

:23:16. > :23:18.like a fairly solid if occasionally somewhat ordinary and somewhat

:23:19. > :23:21.televisual drama but lifted high There is a moment where

:23:22. > :23:26.he is praying for rain, I think he is aware

:23:27. > :23:34.that it is and we all are as well. He and Miranda Richardson

:23:35. > :23:37.are the main reasons I have only seen the

:23:38. > :23:40.trailer for Gifted. The subject matter struck me

:23:41. > :23:43.as really interesting. This has potential

:23:44. > :23:45.to be interesting. And the poster I have

:23:46. > :23:51.to say looked very cheesy. From the director of

:23:52. > :23:53.500 Days of Summer. The poster looked like it was going

:23:54. > :23:57.to be a particular kind of drama and I went in not

:23:58. > :23:59.expecting very much. The story is a single man

:24:00. > :24:03.who is raising a precociously He wants her to go

:24:04. > :24:06.to a normal school. The school saying she is a genius

:24:07. > :24:10.and she needs to go He says, no I want her

:24:11. > :24:14.to have as a normal life. What I like about this film was,

:24:15. > :24:18.particularly since I hadn't expected that much of it, it is very,

:24:19. > :24:21.very sharply written by Tom Flynn. It is a film in which...it's a lot

:24:22. > :24:25.funnier than you expect I have this thing that something has

:24:26. > :24:31.to get six laughs in order to be The performances are

:24:32. > :24:34.all really well judged. Not least Lindsay Duncan who plays

:24:35. > :24:38.a character that could easily tip over into caricature -

:24:39. > :24:40.the controlling grandmother who wants the child to fully explore

:24:41. > :24:43.all her intellectual potential. In another drama, it could have been

:24:44. > :24:49.somewhat demonised but Linsay Duncan I thought it was well judged,

:24:50. > :24:57.great performances all the way round and I came out feeling joyous,

:24:58. > :25:01.feeling uplifted with a real smile I was very, very surprised by how

:25:02. > :25:05.much it did what it set Your third choice today

:25:06. > :25:14.is a documentary, the new Nick Broomfield, a man with quite a track

:25:15. > :25:17.record, massive track He has made things in the past

:25:18. > :25:22.like Kurt and Courtney, and has had a very particular kind

:25:23. > :25:25.of documentary style. Originally he put himself

:25:26. > :25:27.into the documentaries a lot. The figure who walks

:25:28. > :25:30.around with a boom mic, He has very much taken

:25:31. > :25:33.a back seat here. You hear his voice a couple

:25:34. > :25:36.of times, but that's all. He's using footage from a tour

:25:37. > :25:39.that was going to be turned into a fly-on-the-wall

:25:40. > :25:42.documentary but never did. It essentially traces her story

:25:43. > :25:48.from her home life, her mother who was a very powerful singer,

:25:49. > :25:51.and how she was then picked up by a record company,

:25:52. > :25:54.marketed as a pop singer, rather that as a gospel and R,

:25:55. > :25:58.which is where she came from. Found herself in a difficult

:25:59. > :26:01.position in which she did not know who she was meant to be,

:26:02. > :26:04.and her relationship with people like, for example, Robyn Crawford

:26:05. > :26:07.and, of course, Bobby Brown. She could come off the stage and not

:26:08. > :26:21.have to be the person that everybody in the world expected her to be

:26:22. > :26:24.or who they thought she was. He understood that part of her,

:26:25. > :26:27.he understood the pressures because he was Bobby

:26:28. > :26:29.Brown, you know. He understood her pressures

:26:30. > :26:33.and he understood her pain. What do I think that Bobby

:26:34. > :26:36.and Whitney gave each other? You can see from the clip,

:26:37. > :26:56.the film is more forgiving, more affectionate than some

:26:57. > :26:59.of Nick Broomfield's previous work. I went into this not being a big

:27:00. > :27:02.Whitney Houston fan, I did not know that

:27:03. > :27:06.much about her music - I'd seen her in movies, obviously -

:27:07. > :27:10.and the most important thing is I came out with a new-found

:27:11. > :27:13.respect for what she did, for the way she sang,

:27:14. > :27:16.for the way in which her music was important because I really

:27:17. > :27:19.didn't have a handle on it. And that is important that a film

:27:20. > :27:25.like this does tell you that. Obviously the comparison

:27:26. > :27:27.to be made is with Amy, And it's also worth saying,

:27:28. > :27:31.straight off the bat, What Amy did was give you the sense

:27:32. > :27:37.of being intimately involved in that story, sometimes in a way

:27:38. > :27:39.that was deeply uncomfortable, but because of the way he used

:27:40. > :27:43.the lyrics, which seemed to tell the story almost like a diary,

:27:44. > :27:46.it really gave you what felt This feels much more like watching

:27:47. > :27:50.something from a distance It is to do with the way

:27:51. > :27:54.that the film came together. It's also...there is a fairly

:27:55. > :27:57.familiar story of somebody who has a lot of talent, suddenly finding

:27:58. > :28:00.themselves involved in fame and fortune and finding it very

:28:01. > :28:03.difficult to deal with that The film investigates

:28:04. > :28:06.the relationship with the people around her, whether

:28:07. > :28:08.they helped her or not. There's an interview

:28:09. > :28:11.with her bodyguard who says that at one point he wrote down very

:28:12. > :28:14.clearly, all this stuff is happening and this is bad and this

:28:15. > :28:17.is not going to end well. He says he was then rewarded

:28:18. > :28:21.by being told "OK, we no longer What I came out of it with was,

:28:22. > :28:26.as I said, primarily a sense of an extraordinary talent having

:28:27. > :28:28.made some really brilliant records which I really had not

:28:29. > :28:31.thought of like that before A public waste shown

:28:32. > :28:36.with Amy as well. As a piece of filmmaking it is not

:28:37. > :28:43.in the same league as Amy. Amy really is an extraordinary

:28:44. > :28:45.and remarkable and very, And I think as a piece

:28:46. > :28:51.of film-making, it is the better My Cousin Rachel, which is

:28:52. > :28:57.an adaptation of the Daphne du Maurier, from the 1951,

:28:58. > :29:00.which was filmed in 1952 Now we have Rachel Weisz playing

:29:01. > :29:03.this fantastically mysterious Is she the femme fatale

:29:04. > :29:08.or is she somebody who is being completely misread by

:29:09. > :29:09.everybody around her? What the film manages to do

:29:10. > :29:12.is to keep that ambiguity. It starts off as a "did

:29:13. > :29:15.she or didn't she?" And it is very clever

:29:16. > :29:20.because the film all the way through keeps you guessing

:29:21. > :29:22.as to its character's motives. Rachel Weisz said that what she did

:29:23. > :29:25.was she read the script, she decided for herself

:29:26. > :29:28.whether her character was "guilty" and she said to Roger Michell,

:29:29. > :29:31.the director, "I have decided," he said "don't tell me,

:29:32. > :29:34.I don't want to know, The film manages

:29:35. > :29:37.to keep that secret. I love what you have

:29:38. > :29:42.chosen as a DVD. Perhaps a little too understated,

:29:43. > :29:44.Loving, but fascinating. That was the criticism

:29:45. > :29:46.levelled against it. This is basically Ruth Negga -

:29:47. > :29:48.terrific performance. It's a story about a couple fighting

:29:49. > :29:54.racist laws to get married, and the understatement is actually

:29:55. > :29:57.the thing that makes it work. The key thing about the couple

:29:58. > :30:00.is they do not want to be They do not want to be

:30:01. > :30:06.people who are fighting They don't want to be

:30:07. > :30:12.the figureheads. They just want to be left alone

:30:13. > :30:16.to get on with what htey're doing. They're characters that

:30:17. > :30:19.you absolutely believe in. I love the understatement of it

:30:20. > :30:22.but I know that that'sexactly the thing that had made some people

:30:23. > :30:26.think there's no huge grandstanding It all happened at a much

:30:27. > :30:30.more controlled level, and I just think that

:30:31. > :30:32.just add to its power. It is a remarkable

:30:33. > :30:38.piece, I have to say. Maybe I'll come down more

:30:39. > :30:40.on your side, to be fair. A reminder that you can find

:31:30. > :31:32.to remember the victims of the Grenfell Tower

:31:33. > :31:34.fire in West London. Police have revealed that 58 people

:31:35. > :31:38.are missing and are believed to have died but that figure

:31:39. > :31:40.could still rise. Yesterday, Theresa May

:31:41. > :31:41.met with volunteers The Prime Minister admitted

:31:42. > :31:44.the government's response, in the hours following the disaster,

:31:45. > :31:54.had not been good enough. A report by the think tank the

:31:55. > :31:58.Resolution Foundation claims British wealth inequality is growing. They

:31:59. > :32:01.suggest the fall in the number of people that own their own home has

:32:02. > :32:05.resulted in a widening gap between the rich and poor. The government

:32:06. > :32:07.says income inequality is at its lowest level since the midnight in

:32:08. > :32:12.80s., -- mid- 1980s. The government says it intends

:32:13. > :32:15.to double the length of the new Parliamentary session

:32:16. > :32:19.to two years to give MPs the maximum possible time to scrutinise

:32:20. > :32:20.Brexit legislation. The unusual move will mean next

:32:21. > :32:22.year's Queen's Speech The government says the decision

:32:23. > :32:26.was part of measures to build the broadest possible

:32:27. > :32:35.consensus for Brexit. At least 24 people have died so far

:32:36. > :32:39.and more than 20 others have been injured in a forest fire in central

:32:40. > :32:44.Portugal. 16 of the victims died in their vehicles as they try to escape

:32:45. > :32:48.but became trapped by flames. Portugal's been experiencing a

:32:49. > :32:50.heatwave with temperatures exceeding 40 Celsius in several regions.

:32:51. > :32:53.Seven sailors missing after a US warship collided with a container

:32:54. > :32:56.ship off the coast of Japan have been found dead.

:33:23. > :33:24.For opposition teams, the sight of 15 New Zealand rugby

:33:25. > :33:30.players doing the traditional Maori haka is intimidating enough.

:33:31. > :33:34.So imagine seeing more than 7,000 people take up the challenge.

:33:35. > :33:36.This is the world record attempt undertaken before the British

:33:37. > :33:39.and Irish Lions took on the All Blacks yesterday

:33:40. > :33:49.They had to perform for five minutes to officially break the record

:33:50. > :33:58.Kat is shaking her head. It was the Maori All Blacks. Not the other All

:33:59. > :34:03.Blacks shall we say. It wasn't just locals

:34:04. > :34:05.taking part, though, a number of Lions'

:34:06. > :34:13.supporters also joined in. That is a good one. I suspect the

:34:14. > :34:17.All Blacks were a good deal more intimidating than those guys. The

:34:18. > :34:22.Maori All Blacks do the scariest Harker, did you see it before the

:34:23. > :34:29.match? They were in a line and they had a special Spear -- haka. The

:34:30. > :34:36.Maori All Blacks do it best. That haka was directed at the lions team

:34:37. > :34:41.hotel. 7000 people all doing it towards the lions. Even the lions

:34:42. > :34:46.fans were joining in. Did they break the world record? They tried to.

:34:47. > :34:51.More Lions news coming up because the squad for the next team has been

:34:52. > :34:53.named, we will go through that. But we will start with golf.

:34:54. > :34:56.After day three at golf's US Open, England's Tommy Fleetwood remains

:34:57. > :34:58.firmly in contention at the top of the leaderboard.

:34:59. > :35:01.He sits just one shot behind the overall leader Brian Harman

:35:02. > :35:03.going into the final round in Wisconsin.

:35:04. > :35:13.For Tommy Fleetwood, there is plenty to smile about. For getting amongst

:35:14. > :35:16.the leaders in Wisconsin is one thing, staying there is quite

:35:17. > :35:20.another. This weekend it is a crowded place. Still he was making

:35:21. > :35:24.his presence felt, progressing steadily in the right direction. For

:35:25. > :35:28.others that didn't appear to be the case but here for Justin Thomas even

:35:29. > :35:32.going in the wrong direction can work out perfectly in the end. His

:35:33. > :35:36.round of nine under par is a prominent record and was enough to

:35:37. > :35:42.put him for the moment ahead of the rest. While he flourished, others

:35:43. > :35:46.floundered. England's Paul Casey's hopes of staying in contention lost

:35:47. > :35:50.somewhere in that deep, deep rough. They call Day three moving day,

:35:51. > :35:53.there was now plenty of that on the leaderboard and with shots like this

:35:54. > :35:59.the American Brian Harman was heading towards the very top.

:36:00. > :36:03.Fleetwood remains in the crowd just one stroke behind, plenty still to

:36:04. > :36:05.smile about but the US Open has rarely been more open. Adam Wild,

:36:06. > :36:14.BBC News. This is my first time in contention

:36:15. > :36:19.in a major so whatever happens I'll be doing my best and seeing how well

:36:20. > :36:24.I can finish and that's that really. That's all you can do. But it will

:36:25. > :36:25.be a pleasure to go out on a Sunday trying to win a major.

:36:26. > :36:32.And you've played golf with him? It's fantastic, I'm following him

:36:33. > :36:36.very closely because I was lucky enough to play with him, they always

:36:37. > :36:40.do an event before a big competition called a Pro-Am, the professionals

:36:41. > :36:44.play the very lucky amateurs so I played with him ahead of the BMW

:36:45. > :36:50.Pro-Am at Wentworth but he didn't make the cut! I think you jinxed

:36:51. > :36:55.him? Maybe I was his good luck charm for the next one. There you go,

:36:56. > :36:59.maybe all down to you. Great to see his absolute delight at being in the

:37:00. > :37:03.next. There you are lining up together. The little one. It was

:37:04. > :37:11.with Jodie Kidd and Georgy Bingham with Tommy. He was a very chilled

:37:12. > :37:15.out Guy. Very lovely. He will need to be chilled out if he's going to

:37:16. > :37:17.hang on at the top of the leaderboard at the US Open.

:37:18. > :37:20.Warran Gatland has named his side to face the Chiefs on Tuesday

:37:21. > :37:22.and has included all six controversial call-ups he made

:37:23. > :37:27.Ireland hooker Rory Best captains the side, with the bulk of the squad

:37:28. > :37:29.that beat the Maori All Blacks yesterday aren't playing

:37:30. > :37:32.so they can prepare for the first Test against the All Blacks

:37:33. > :37:33.next Saturday.

:37:34. > :37:35.Gatland says those involved on Tuesday will be playing

:37:36. > :37:43.for themselves and for the whole squad.

:37:44. > :37:46.We brought you Scotland's historic win over Australia here on Breakfast

:37:47. > :37:49.yesterday morning, and that was just the start of it as England completed

:37:50. > :37:52.a 2-0 series victory over Argentina after winning the second test

:37:53. > :37:56.Full-back Mike Brown broke clear before producing a brilliant off

:37:57. > :37:59.load to send Piers Francis over for a great try before half time.

:38:00. > :38:03.England went on to win 35-25 but Eddie Jones's squad was missing

:38:04. > :38:08.30 of their best players, largely due to the Lions tour.

:38:09. > :38:16.Very pleased. Today we found a way to win, we were outgunned in the

:38:17. > :38:20.first half, second half we came back in the forwards particularly and

:38:21. > :38:25.scrums and our malt defence improved and that got us back in the game and

:38:26. > :38:27.then our ability to score off their mistakes I thought was fantastic.

:38:28. > :38:30.England batsman Jason Roy made a welcome return to form as Surrey

:38:31. > :38:34.reached their third straight One Day Cup final.

:38:35. > :38:37.Roy, dropped by England in midweek, smashed 92 as Surrey beat

:38:47. > :38:48.Final this afternoon, India easy winners when the two

:38:49. > :38:54.But with tickets at a premium for the match and talk of over half

:38:55. > :38:56.a billion people watching the game on TV, everyone's hoping

:38:57. > :39:08.don't see any relevance of the first game here because you can never tell

:39:09. > :39:14.how the particular team starts a tournament. Some teams start very

:39:15. > :39:18.confidently and they fade off, some teams may not have the best arts and

:39:19. > :39:22.they come back amazingly, which Pakistan have done. Everyone is

:39:23. > :39:25.aware of the kind of talent they have in their team -- best starts.

:39:26. > :39:30.I said before the Edgbaston game I thought they were very calm, but

:39:31. > :39:34.they're very excited right now and there's a hell of a good vibe in

:39:40. > :39:45.if we can, I said it before the England game, if we put our A game

:39:51. > :39:53.years ago at Wimbledon to win a tour event on home soil.

:39:54. > :39:56.She's reached the final of the Nottingham Open.

:40:12. > :40:14.surviving a late Warrington fightback yesterday to win 27-26.

:40:15. > :40:16.Four converted tries, including this from John Bateman,

:40:17. > :40:19.and a drop goal had put Wigan clear going into the final stages.

:40:20. > :40:22.But Warrington could have forced extra time with the last kick

:41:00. > :41:09.Nice to see some hockey on the TV, don't thing we do it often enough.

:41:10. > :41:15.Indeed, such a success in the Olympics. Exactly. Brilliant, Kat,

:41:16. > :41:15.thanks very much. See you in the next hour.

:41:16. > :41:18.How about a bit of Sunday morning trivia.

:41:19. > :41:20.Where do you think the running shoe was invented?

:41:21. > :41:23.You'd be forgiven if you thought America or Jamaica.

:41:24. > :41:25.But the first trainer, designed in 1895, was the brainchild

:41:26. > :41:35.I kept quiet because I knew the answer but the only reason I did is

:41:36. > :41:37.because I read it on there! It's facts like this that

:41:38. > :41:39.Historic England says more It's launching a campaign

:41:40. > :41:42.to improve people's knowledge Celia Richardson from

:41:43. > :41:46.the organisation joins us now, along with the social

:41:47. > :41:54.historian Charlotte Wildman. Thanks for coming in. Sealy, are you

:41:55. > :41:57.surprised by some of the things you found out, like the trainer came

:41:58. > :42:04.from Bolton originally, what other things did you find out? -- Celia.

:42:05. > :42:09.Everyone thought the first bungee jump was in New Zealand but it was

:42:10. > :42:13.in Bristol off the Clifton suspension bridge. There's lots of

:42:14. > :42:16.amazing history and inventions here, people think they happened

:42:17. > :42:21.elsewhere. The first thing we asked was where was the atom split, people

:42:22. > :42:25.said Geneva but actually it happened two miles from here in Manchester.

:42:26. > :42:31.So we don't celebrate our successes and off? Absolutely and this is what

:42:32. > :42:36.the campaign is about. -- enough. Why should we know and what is this

:42:37. > :42:42.all about? It's a fascinating survey. I was most struck by the

:42:43. > :42:47.inventions we associate with other countries, the story about

:42:48. > :42:51.Shrewsbury, the skyscrapers, we think of them associated with New

:42:52. > :42:58.York, but it is so interesting because these inventions give towns

:42:59. > :43:02.and cities their claim to being unique, which is so key to local

:43:03. > :43:06.pride and civic pride and I love hearing people's stories about their

:43:07. > :43:12.hometown and any kind of invention or first thing that cap on there,

:43:13. > :43:19.it's great to hear in the user as so it's great to hear more stories we

:43:20. > :43:27.have lost coming through -- first thing that happened there, it's

:43:28. > :43:30.great to hear enthusiastic. -- enthusiastic.

:43:31. > :43:40.Charlotte, you were talking about how communities or areas like to be

:43:41. > :43:50.able to claim things, have you heard of pasty gate? I haven't. You have.

:43:51. > :43:55.There's an argument about where it came from, Cornwall or Devon,

:43:56. > :43:59.Cornwall having previously claimed it, but now Devon is claiming it,

:44:00. > :44:08.not the Cornish pasty, just the pasty. How would you go about coming

:44:09. > :44:13.down on one side on this argument? There's a mention of it in the 15th

:44:14. > :44:19.century text of the pasty. It's the first mention of the pasty in

:44:20. > :44:23.literature it happened in Devon. I mention this on Devonshire radio,

:44:24. > :44:30.then Cornish radio got in touch, we had lots of people saying how dare

:44:31. > :44:34.you -- mentioned. I understand, I'm from the north-east, I know a bit

:44:35. > :44:36.about local pride but I didn't understand how the star rivalry was

:44:37. > :44:49.between Devon and Cornwall. There were cave drawings of Pastis in

:44:50. > :44:53.Cornwall? -- understand how fierce the rivalry was. How do we celebrate

:44:54. > :44:59.the things we are good at and what we have given to the world? --

:45:00. > :45:03.Pastis. It's important because early in the 20th century local identity

:45:04. > :45:08.would be linked to things like work and trade, every town had a clear

:45:09. > :45:12.trade and identity but we have seen such massive cultural and social

:45:13. > :45:19.shifts that we have lost that sense of local identity and civic pride,

:45:20. > :45:25.so these kinds of links to invention, uniqueness, difference

:45:26. > :45:30.are really helpful to construct that sense of uniqueness and celebratory

:45:31. > :45:36.local pride. Who knew that the pencil was invented in Cumbria, the

:45:37. > :45:43.tubular band came from Oldham. I didn't know. There used to be a sign

:45:44. > :45:50.in Oldham that said welcome to the home of the tubular bandage.

:45:51. > :45:57.Helen, even though many of us are celebrating how warm it was, in the

:45:58. > :46:02.north-west of the UK, they did not have such a great day. Now, they did

:46:03. > :46:06.not. Good morning to you both. They probably will not have a good day I

:46:07. > :46:12.ever although the cloud is a lot more broken this morning. This is

:46:13. > :46:15.Highlands Scotland. Let me show you the latest satellite picture. Our

:46:16. > :46:19.first glimpse of where we doing don't have sunshine. You can see

:46:20. > :46:23.this more extensive than yesterday. These spots of cloud understand fog

:46:24. > :46:26.but just like yesterday we have an extensive cloud across the

:46:27. > :46:32.north-west of Northern Ireland Scotland hence the levels of UV.

:46:33. > :46:37.Just for the benefit of Roger, these levels are very high and very

:46:38. > :46:39.unusual here in the UK so it is as strong as the sunshine gets.

:46:40. > :46:43.Unrelated to the temperature, the strength of the sunshine but it does

:46:44. > :46:50.help temperature to rise. If the temperatures we had today with up to

:46:51. > :46:54.28 degrees in some areas. We are starting on a high platform of 16 or

:46:55. > :46:58.19 degrees. That is more like the average through the day at this time

:46:59. > :47:04.of year. Are not a night-time temperature. It has been an

:47:05. > :47:08.uncomfortable night for some. We won't have that hit across the far

:47:09. > :47:16.north west of Scotland, particularly up a Highlands. Is misty and murky

:47:17. > :47:23.low hill cloud and fog. Brakes and a cloud will continue through the day.

:47:24. > :47:29.Eastern parts firing better and a a sickly unbroken sunshine for Wales.

:47:30. > :47:33.There is just an outside chance, if we get seabreeze is coming in and

:47:34. > :47:37.converging with our normal wind, that we could spark an isolated

:47:38. > :47:41.evening thunderstorm for East Anglia and the south-east. Late in the day

:47:42. > :47:45.will brighten up for the Northern Isles that you can see rain coming

:47:46. > :47:49.and going across parts of Scotland. Limiting out averages here is

:47:50. > :47:54.pointed out, we will not see those 20 degrees in these areas but for

:47:55. > :47:57.the vast majority, it will be another hot day, uncomfortable for

:47:58. > :48:04.some, a little stifling, fresher around the coast with sea breezes,

:48:05. > :48:07.more refreshing for hayfever sufferers as well. But the UV

:48:08. > :48:14.strength is still the same as we around the post. More on the outlook

:48:15. > :48:32.for you later. Thank you, Helen. Now, don't let me forget together

:48:33. > :48:33.sun cream out. Cloke, swap on the -- slip, slop, slap..

:48:34. > :48:35.The headlines coming up shortly on Breakfast.

:48:36. > :48:41.This week the team is is in LA for a huge video games show,

:48:42. > :48:49.which has opened its doors to the public for the first time.

:48:50. > :49:06.All of which can only mean it is time for E3,

:49:07. > :49:08.the world's maddest video games expo,

:49:09. > :49:11.in the heart of downtown Los Angeles.

:49:12. > :49:13.This is where new games are launched and

:49:14. > :49:23.It is always big, loud and bright but this year,

:49:24. > :49:26.for the first time, it is not just open to those who work

:49:27. > :49:30.15,000 members of the public have also been allowed in,

:49:31. > :49:35.each paying up to - get this - $250 for a ticket.

:49:36. > :49:40.How exciting it is, depends on whether the big console

:49:41. > :49:45.manufacturers have any big announcements or not.

:49:46. > :49:48.This year, Microsoft generated the most excitement by announcing

:49:49. > :50:06.And with that, Xbox head honcho Phil Spencer kicked off

:50:07. > :50:12.It is a big year for Xbox as it announced a brand-new console,

:50:13. > :50:22.Its high-end spec includes six teraflops of graphic performance.

:50:23. > :50:32.It is capable of producing 4K high dynamic range visuals at 60

:50:33. > :50:41.As well as producing Dolby Atmos audio.

:50:42. > :50:45.All this adds up to a whole lot of horsepower for a console.

:50:46. > :50:47.It is being billed as the most powerful console ever,

:50:48. > :50:52.but is more computational grunt enough to shift Sony from its number

:50:53. > :50:59.In an attempt to do just that a parade of 4K resolution games

:51:00. > :51:01.assaulted the senses, including a peek at the latest

:51:02. > :51:04.addition to the popular Assassin's Creed series,

:51:05. > :51:15.The Expendable's Terry Crews brings the smack down to Crackdown 3.

:51:16. > :51:20.Open World smashed everything in sight, destructo-fest.

:51:21. > :51:26.As well as family-friendly platform Super Luckey's Tale.

:51:27. > :51:30.These games will play on the old Xbox One and will play

:51:31. > :51:35.with 4K graphic enhancement on the Xbox One X.

:51:36. > :51:39.Leading that 4K charge with the new machine,

:51:40. > :51:42.racer Forza Motorsport 7 and Anthem, a new sci-fi exosuit game

:51:43. > :51:56.One of the few games where high-end lighting effects

:51:57. > :52:03.A strong line-up then for the new Xbox.

:52:04. > :52:13.Very little in the way of fan favourites and franchises such

:52:14. > :52:21.People know the other franchises will be coming.

:52:22. > :52:25.I spend last month, I was at both the studios last month looking

:52:26. > :52:30.We were able to fill this arena with great games,

:52:31. > :52:37.without even bringing two of the biggest franchises here.

:52:38. > :52:41.The most powerful console that Microsoft has ever made.

:52:42. > :52:47.Smaller than the old machine, the Xbox one S.

:52:48. > :52:55.And we know it is released on November seven.

:52:56. > :52:58.We do not know what games are like when you actually power

:52:59. > :53:01.the machine up, grab hold of the controller and play

:53:02. > :53:12.To find that out, I have to go over there.

:53:13. > :53:15.OK, now you may think that my driving here is a little

:53:16. > :53:18.scrappy but there is method to my madness.

:53:19. > :53:21.By damaging the car I can see the additional level of detail

:53:22. > :53:29.A smorgasbord of different weather effects going on here.

:53:30. > :53:31.All of them showing what this machine is capable of.

:53:32. > :53:36.The first time I played a game on the new Xbox One X and I just

:53:37. > :53:41.The most recognisable of all titles will be launched with this machine

:53:42. > :53:49.The beautiful game to look at and as you expect,

:53:50. > :53:53.But there is more to this than just incredible graphics.

:53:54. > :54:03.I received a challenge recently, come and play me, at Killer

:54:04. > :54:14.It didn't say "if you dare", but it might as well have done,

:54:15. > :54:19.because, as it turns out, Ben is somewhat of a combo expert.

:54:20. > :54:38.Ben has just taken me out in about 20 seconds.

:54:39. > :54:41.I could have done it quicker than that if I didn't screw

:54:42. > :54:45.We're playing Killer Instinct, a five-year-old combat game.

:54:46. > :54:48.It's a big eSports title with players competing for millions

:54:49. > :54:50.of dollars each year, but it's not only its popularity

:54:51. > :54:58.So there, Kathleen has blocked low and the only reason I know

:54:59. > :55:02.she blocked low is because I heard that sound, that you heard there.

:55:03. > :55:04.Ben is relying on his hearing because he's blind,

:55:05. > :55:09.which makes his win even more impressive.

:55:10. > :55:11.If you throw a fireball...it travels and that rather satisfying

:55:12. > :55:16.connection sound at the other end when it hits the opponent.

:55:17. > :55:20.When I say, do you realise you're fighting a guy who can't see,

:55:21. > :55:26.they are like, no, I did not realise that at all.

:55:27. > :55:31.And that starts conversations in itself about how games

:55:32. > :55:35.And you're passionate about taking that conversation further now?

:55:36. > :55:38.I think it needs to go further because gamers without sight

:55:39. > :55:44.Things like being able to tell your friendly team

:55:45. > :55:47.and your enemy team apart, so different footsteps.

:55:48. > :55:57.Audio only games have been around for many years and it's only

:55:58. > :56:00.now that sound designers are beginning to harness

:56:01. > :56:12.Home, episodes, clips, judges, Spencer Kelly,

:56:13. > :56:16.On the Web, a screen reader speaks out the options.

:56:17. > :56:19.It took years of the internet before accessibility features like this

:56:20. > :56:21.became commonplace and it's still not 100%.

:56:22. > :56:23.And as for games consoles, currently blind gamers have

:56:24. > :56:31.That's where the real big barrier is - the middleware.

:56:32. > :56:34.The tools people use to make games aren't compatible with the software

:56:35. > :56:36.that can be used to operate technology.

:56:37. > :56:40.So if that barrier could be solved then we would see a big increase

:56:41. > :56:43.in the amount of blind accessible games there are.

:56:44. > :56:45.Ian Hamilton has produced accessibility guidelines

:56:46. > :56:48.His mission is to make gaming more inclusive.

:56:49. > :56:50.Accessibility's job will be done when people stop

:56:51. > :56:56.There's always going to be some new barrier that needs

:56:57. > :56:59.Ian has been working with people like Ben for years,

:57:00. > :57:04.but it is really down to the console makers now to bring about change.

:57:05. > :57:07.We need to be sure the games and consoles we build are accessible

:57:08. > :57:10.to any kind of player, whether it's someone who has sight

:57:11. > :57:13.We're working with APIs, with our controller.

:57:14. > :57:16.We announced copilot mode, where people can use two controls

:57:17. > :57:19.to play one version of the game, so if someone can't use

:57:20. > :57:23.Microsoft is really leading the way when it comes to accessibility

:57:24. > :57:32.They've released a new text-to-speech API, which means

:57:33. > :57:34.for the first time in-game menus will be read out.

:57:35. > :57:38.Let's see what Ben thinks about this news.

:57:39. > :57:41.If other developers, like Sony and Nintendo,

:57:42. > :57:45.anybody else, want to make their content more accessible

:57:46. > :57:48.using in-game menus and spoken UI elements, that's brilliant.

:57:49. > :57:52.If I can go in and buy a game without have to worry about how much

:57:53. > :57:54.I'm paying for it, versus accessibility,

:57:55. > :58:06.Sony kicked off its PlayStation press event with a bang,

:58:07. > :58:10.thanks to a trailer from developer Naughty Dog's latest adventure,

:58:11. > :58:21.The crowd certainly liked that Sony made it snow in sunny LA for robo

:58:22. > :58:24.dinosaur mash-up Horizon Zero Dawn's expansion, Frozen Wilds.

:58:25. > :58:31.And everyone's favourite friendly neighbourhood Spiderman swung

:58:32. > :58:36.into action in a new game which features an innovative use

:58:37. > :58:40.of his athletic abilities and his web slinging.

:58:41. > :58:52.And, unlike Xbox, who didn't even mention VR, PlayStation

:58:53. > :58:56.renewed its commitment to techno welding goggles,

:58:57. > :58:59.sorry, virtual reality, by showing off a host of VR games,

:59:00. > :59:14.And an utterly bonkers Final Fantasy VR fishing game.

:59:15. > :59:18.Final Fantasy 15: Monster of the Deep.

:59:19. > :59:21.PlayStation is riding high at the moment with its PS4

:59:22. > :59:28.But, with the superpowerful Xbox One X on the horizon,

:59:29. > :59:32.will things like VR help Sony to maintain its lead?

:59:33. > :59:36.I think that over the long-term it really is an opportunity to create

:59:37. > :59:40.a new entertainment medium, but I do stress that it's

:59:41. > :59:44.You'll see lots more technology innovation.

:59:45. > :59:48.I think content makers, game makers and others,

:59:49. > :59:51.including folks that are making television programmes,

:59:52. > :59:54.they are really only starting to just learn what the tools

:59:55. > :00:02.Much more in the full-length version which you can see online right now.

:03:09. > :03:13.in the room, people were able to say what they wanted to say and we felt

:03:14. > :03:15.that was listened to and listened to carefully.

:03:16. > :03:19.Theresa May, who is coming for widespread personal criticism

:03:20. > :03:23.over her handling of the crisis, said she'd heard the concerns.

:03:24. > :03:27.The Prime Minister admitted: Whitehall officials have been

:03:28. > :03:39.drafted in to help Kensington and Chelsea Council cope

:03:40. > :03:43.with the response and the Red Cross will provide psychological support.

:03:44. > :03:50.As people wait and pray for the missing, church services

:03:51. > :03:53.today will remember those who didn't make it out of Grenfell Tower.

:03:54. > :03:56.A reminder of the complex and lengthy process of recovering

:03:57. > :04:06.We can speak now to our correspondent, Simon Jones,

:04:07. > :04:08.who is outside Notting Hill Methodist Church where one

:04:09. > :04:28.Good morning, Simon. The outside of this church has become a sea of

:04:29. > :04:32.flowers. Many wanting to remember those who are lost and the posters

:04:33. > :04:38.around of those missing sadly presumed dead. Many churches around

:04:39. > :04:43.here open their doors at 3am taking people in and offering shelter. In

:04:44. > :04:47.the days that followed they were the site for people to bring donations

:04:48. > :04:52.to help the community but a lot of people have been saying while it's

:04:53. > :04:56.great the church has been doing this and volunteers have been doing this,

:04:57. > :05:00.where is the government and the local council, people are asking,

:05:01. > :05:05.why haven't they organised this? Stung by some of this criticism the

:05:06. > :05:10.government has announced a team from central government, central

:05:11. > :05:14.government, will come in at the council offices to give a more

:05:15. > :05:19.co-ordinated response. I want to give you a sense of where we are,

:05:20. > :05:23.the church, a focal point as it has been through much of the week, a

:05:24. > :05:28.police cordon here guarding the scene and then just behind me we've

:05:29. > :05:32.actually got the shell of the tower, still quite a sight all these days

:05:33. > :05:38.on. The focus in the church today will be a service at 11am and the

:05:39. > :05:42.idea is it will be a chance for people to contemplate what has

:05:43. > :05:46.happened over the past few days. There's a hope from church leaders

:05:47. > :05:50.that after the initial crisis management they can now offer

:05:51. > :05:54.support to people who have been so terribly affected by this because

:05:55. > :05:58.they know the scars of this for people who witnessed it and lost

:05:59. > :06:00.loved ones, those scars will not be quick to heal. Simon, thank you very

:06:01. > :06:01.much. A report by the think tank

:06:02. > :06:04.the Resolution Foundation claims that Britain's wealth

:06:05. > :06:06.inequality is growing. It suggests that a fall

:06:07. > :06:08.in the number of people who own their own home has

:06:09. > :06:11.resulted in a widening gap The government says income

:06:12. > :06:15.inequality is now at its lowest Wealth is arguably the biggest

:06:16. > :06:22.determinant of living standards over people's lives but yet it barely

:06:23. > :06:25.features in today's living standards debates, and that's a big deal

:06:26. > :06:28.because our analysis shows wealth is far more unequally spread

:06:29. > :06:30.across scoiety than incomes are and because of declining

:06:31. > :06:32.property ownership, declining home ownership, for the least wealthy

:06:33. > :06:35.households that inequality has The government says it intends

:06:36. > :06:46.to double the length of the new Parliamentary session

:06:47. > :06:50.to two years to give MPs the maximum possible time to scrutinise

:06:51. > :06:51.Brexit legislation. The unusual move will mean next

:06:52. > :06:54.years Queen's Speech Our political correspondent

:06:55. > :07:10.is in our London newsroom. It is unusual, how significant a

:07:11. > :07:17.move would this be? I think what it shows is the government's concern

:07:18. > :07:20.really about the opposition potentially to Brexit legislation

:07:21. > :07:26.now it doesn't have that majority in government. This will give MPs a

:07:27. > :07:30.longer period of time to scrutinise that but crucially what it would

:07:31. > :07:33.mean is you wouldn't have to have another Queen's speech next year.

:07:34. > :07:38.The Queen's speech this year has already been delayed waiting for the

:07:39. > :07:42.government to do a deal with the DUP, or will have to rely on the DUP

:07:43. > :07:46.to get their Queen's speech through. By having this two-year period it

:07:47. > :07:50.won't have to go through that next time round so the Queen's speech

:07:51. > :07:54.next time they don't have to try to get support to get it through and

:07:55. > :07:59.avoid the risk of it being voted down. It is something that has been

:08:00. > :08:02.done before. If you remember 2010, so from 2012 to 2012 the coalition

:08:03. > :08:06.government had a two-year parliament to get through the coalition

:08:07. > :08:12.agreement so it's been done before but it is very unusual. A sign of

:08:13. > :08:16.how difficult the Brexit legislation, getting it through

:08:17. > :08:20.parliament, could prove to be. Picked up on a story that's in one

:08:21. > :08:27.of the newspapers this morning, on the front page of the Sunday Times,

:08:28. > :08:30.Tories tell May you have ten days, suggesting this is coming from the

:08:31. > :08:36.grassroots to MPs basically saying Theresa May has to shake up in their

:08:37. > :08:40.words or face a challenge for the Tory leadership. Can you tell us any

:08:41. > :08:44.more on that? We got that story and a couple of stories in the paper

:08:45. > :08:47.today suggesting she could be facing some kind of stalking horse

:08:48. > :08:50.challenge from backbenchers. This is something that has been spoken about

:08:51. > :08:57.since she didn't get the majority she wanted in the election last

:08:58. > :09:00.week, so her position is tenuous because there are those Eurosceptics

:09:01. > :09:04.who are concerned because she didn't get the majority potentially the

:09:05. > :09:08.approach in terms of the Brexit talks may be watered down. They want

:09:09. > :09:13.her to stick to the promise she made about leaving the single market, the

:09:14. > :09:17.customs union, not having the European Court of Justice in charge

:09:18. > :09:21.of any of our laws, and also sticking to that ending of the

:09:22. > :09:25.freedom of movement. If she moves away from that then certainly her

:09:26. > :09:28.position could be tenuous. Her leadership has been brought into

:09:29. > :09:33.question again this week because of the dealings around the Grenfell

:09:34. > :09:38.tower disaster. Her leadership is in question, she has a lot of people on

:09:39. > :09:42.the backbenches worried about this, concerned about it, so we'll see

:09:43. > :09:46.what happens. Certainly another leadership challenge potentially but

:09:47. > :09:46.we don't know for sure. Thanks very much indeed.

:09:47. > :09:50.A forest fire in central Portugal has killed at least 24 people.

:09:51. > :09:53.16 of the victims died in their vehicles when they became

:09:54. > :09:55.trapped as they tried to escape the flames.

:09:56. > :10:02.A deadly mix of a strong winds and a severe heatwave have fanned

:10:03. > :10:04.the flames, now threatening to engulf homes.

:10:05. > :10:07.this fire is already one of the worst forest fires

:10:08. > :10:25.More than 20 people have died, most of them trapped in their cars.

:10:26. > :10:27.A number of people were reported to be missing.

:10:28. > :10:32.We've already identified 24 victims but this number could rise.

:10:33. > :10:36.All of those who died were on a road in the same fire at the same place.

:10:37. > :10:40.It started on Saturday at 3pm local time in a mountainous area 200

:10:41. > :10:47.Around 500 firefighters were called to the scene.

:10:48. > :10:49.TRANSLATION: I was there staring at my house,

:10:50. > :10:52.I don't know what will happen with it now!

:10:53. > :10:54.Officials describe the fire spreading violently,

:10:55. > :11:05.The local mayor said there wasn't enough firefighters to deal

:11:06. > :11:12.Seven sailors missing after a US warship collided with a container

:11:13. > :11:15.ship off the coast of Japan have been found dead.

:11:16. > :11:17.Their bodies were discovered by divers in flooded cabins.

:11:18. > :11:20.The ship's commander and another sailor have been airlifted

:11:21. > :11:27.French voters go to the polls today for the second

:11:28. > :11:28.round of the country's parliamentary elections.

:11:29. > :11:31.President Macron's En Marche! party, which was formed

:11:32. > :11:33.just over a year ago, is predicted to win up

:11:34. > :11:47.It is currently ahead in 400 out of 577 constituencies.

:11:48. > :11:50.A traditional Polynesian canoe has become the first vessel of its kind

:11:51. > :11:52.to complete a round-the-world voyage.

:11:53. > :11:54.The canoe returned to Honolulu in Hawaii after visiting 19

:11:55. > :12:01.The crew used the stars, wind and ocean swells to guide them.

:12:02. > :12:04.They wanted to use the same techniques as the first Polynesian

:12:05. > :12:10.settlers to Hawaii did hundreds of years ago.

:12:11. > :12:18.Slightly incongruous side coming in against that modern skyline.

:12:19. > :12:21.Beautiful, Sydney. -- incongruous sight.

:12:22. > :12:27.Time to look at the weather, any advice for people going out in the

:12:28. > :12:33.sun? I do have some advice, let's look at the blue skies outside our

:12:34. > :12:38.building in Salford Quays. The son is going to be strong, Helen's

:12:39. > :12:43.advice will be the same as mine, put on plenty of sunscreen if you're out

:12:44. > :12:49.and about today. Do you often follow your own advice? Yesterday I did but

:12:50. > :12:53.somewhat belatedly. In a game of lads and dads football on a beach in

:12:54. > :13:01.south Wales resulted in a burnt forehead. You have a problem when

:13:02. > :13:06.you get older as a chap because your air thins and your skin is exposed.

:13:07. > :13:14.And it isn't skin that has been exposed for many decades. It is

:13:15. > :13:19.looking beautiful in Salford Quays this morning, record temperatures in

:13:20. > :13:26.the south yesterday, 30.2, 30.4? 30.2, and it could be 30.2 today. We

:13:27. > :13:30.couldn't resist getting our camera teams around the country to film

:13:31. > :13:32.some joyous moments in the sunshine and we thought we would share them

:13:33. > :14:43.with you. Glorious day. Wonderful. I think we

:14:44. > :14:47.may have another glorious day. Poor old Helen is having... The sun has

:14:48. > :14:52.made your graphics machine have a sunny turn, have you got it working?

:14:53. > :14:57.All my talk about my receding hairline gives you a chance to get

:14:58. > :15:01.the graphics working. Are you was envious of you on the beach, on the

:15:02. > :15:05.beach it is much more refer to ring. -- I was. You don't get that he'd

:15:06. > :15:24.very often but I do miss the sea. Beautiful sunny pictures coming in

:15:25. > :15:28.from all around at the moment. And I stay here as well and the sun

:15:29. > :15:34.strength increases as you go up the mountain.. Lovely day in Scotland

:15:35. > :15:39.for mountain climbing but strong UV levels, as strong as it gets and you

:15:40. > :15:43.do not see the levels very often that we are forecasting today. We

:15:44. > :15:46.have some cloudy zones. Spare a thought for those in the north-west

:15:47. > :15:51.of Scotland because there will be cloud around here and it is low

:15:52. > :15:55.cloud, shrouding the hills with fog and drizzle. Any shelter from the

:15:56. > :15:59.south-westerly wind will bring you brightness and sons shall iron

:16:00. > :16:06.across the east and south of Scotland. -- sunshine. Temperatures

:16:07. > :16:12.in the 20s across eastern side of Ireland. And it will still be quite

:16:13. > :16:17.bright at times. For us, we start the day in the high teens and the

:16:18. > :16:24.temperature will whip up rapidly. It will be another hot day. Just the

:16:25. > :16:29.outside chance, I must mention but it is a rare chance, the late

:16:30. > :16:33.afternoon thunderstorm in East Anglia and the south-east. It is

:16:34. > :16:39.where we see the intense heat and, yes, we will probably see higher

:16:40. > :16:46.temperatures than yesterday by one or two degrees. Another bit of

:16:47. > :16:52.information here, showers for the final day of golf in Wisconsin. The

:16:53. > :16:56.heat is likely to hang around and we will start tomorrow warm and another

:16:57. > :16:59.hot day on the cards. More for you later.

:17:00. > :17:01.With humble beginnings in a Shropshire garden,

:17:02. > :17:06.it has bloomed into one of the BBC's most iconic programmes -

:17:07. > :17:08.with an audience of up to 2.5 million

:17:09. > :17:12.So, as Gardeners' World turns 50, Kay Alexander has been digging

:17:13. > :17:15.through the decades to investigate how a show, rooted in plants

:17:16. > :17:26.and personalities, has experienced such enduring success.

:17:27. > :17:28.50 years ago the advent of colour such enduring success.

:17:29. > :17:33.50 years ago the advent of colour television enabled the BBC to make a

:17:34. > :17:38.new hoarder cockerel programme and Gardeners' World was born. It was

:17:39. > :17:45.presented by the legendary Percy from his garden near Shrewsbury.

:17:46. > :17:51.September. The sun still shining. In my family, everything stopped dead

:17:52. > :17:56.for Gardeners' World. My mother was a keen gardener and so was this

:17:57. > :18:02.little girl. I am still a big fan of the programme. Peter was one of the

:18:03. > :18:08.presenters in the 1970s and is still a big influence on gardening today.

:18:09. > :18:14.Percy was God and everybody watched every Friday without question. And

:18:15. > :18:18.if he showed a plant on his programme than by ten a.m. The next

:18:19. > :18:22.day they would be sold out across the country. The effect was

:18:23. > :18:26.remarkable. In 50 years there are a number of personalities who have

:18:27. > :18:30.made their name on Gardeners' World, including Geoff Hamilton whose

:18:31. > :18:35.garden was one of the eight gardens used over the years. After he died

:18:36. > :18:42.in 1996, Alan Titchmarsh became the next main presenter. If this does

:18:43. > :18:45.not make you drawl, nothing will. I think I am proud of having had a

:18:46. > :18:51.hand in Gardeners' World and having been a part of its history. My

:18:52. > :18:53.mission in life is to impress upon people the pleasure to be gained

:18:54. > :18:58.from growing things and the importance of keeping our planet

:18:59. > :19:03.Green. It is the sharp end of looking after the planet, gardening.

:19:04. > :19:08.Since the programme debuted in 1967 it has gone through all sorts of

:19:09. > :19:12.fashions and trends and styles. Is there a magic ingredient that keeps

:19:13. > :19:15.it fresh and exciting? What are the magical things about Gardeners'

:19:16. > :19:20.World is the fact you can join the head gardener in their garden every

:19:21. > :19:24.Friday. It is a value of looking over the garden gate to see what

:19:25. > :19:31.they are doing but at the same time it is about plans, passionate plants

:19:32. > :19:34.people in the those plants grow. Lumbering outside broadcast vehicles

:19:35. > :19:40.of the past have been replaced by the latest technology. But what

:19:41. > :19:43.about the future of the programme? Every gardener knows that every

:19:44. > :19:47.season is different and new and exciting and if you can just capture

:19:48. > :19:55.the excitement, you will not have to worry about the future. Just go with

:19:56. > :19:58.it. No problem there. So happy Golden birthday, Gardeners' World.

:19:59. > :20:05.And here is to the next 50 years! Happy birthday! That is a who's who

:20:06. > :20:06.of presenters. Have you got some prize-winning peas

:20:07. > :20:09.or a spectacular display We'd love to see photos

:20:10. > :20:12.of what you've been growing Get in touch in all the usual ways,

:20:13. > :20:17.details are on the screen. You're watching

:20:18. > :20:21.Breakfast from BBC News. Time now for a look

:20:22. > :20:31.at the newspapers. The poet Ian McMillan

:20:32. > :20:48.is here to tell us what's the colour in the Times. I was

:20:49. > :20:53.thinking about... It is in all the papers. Such a big story. I will

:20:54. > :20:57.hold up the express. Here we go. I was thinking about the fact that

:20:58. > :21:00.there are certain photographs that are part of people 's lives. The

:21:01. > :21:04.photos were wedding, the photo when you graduate, and there is always a

:21:05. > :21:09.traditional trooping the colour balcony at Buckingham Palace shot.

:21:10. > :21:17.This year it is very interesting because we have Prince George but

:21:18. > :21:24.Rosella's hand is pointing off to the side and I think he's showing

:21:25. > :21:29.Prince George went a gesture. You can see a bit of string attached

:21:30. > :21:34.from Philip's hand to that of Georges and he is showing him how to

:21:35. > :21:38.wave. You can't see the string, but would it not be great if you could?

:21:39. > :21:42.All of the generations are being photographed. And he's showing

:21:43. > :21:48.Prince William the wrong way to do it. He does need to get it right.

:21:49. > :21:54.You have to get your wave right. The story from the Mirror about

:21:55. > :22:00.passenger delays. I am always on the train and I am always late. The

:22:01. > :22:06.railways invented time as we know because before railways it was tend

:22:07. > :22:10.to fall in your village and 85 to four in Bath and something else

:22:11. > :22:14.again in Salford. The railways invented the idea of time happening

:22:15. > :22:20.at the same time all the time. What it says here is that we now have a

:22:21. > :22:25.29% rise in trains being cancelled or arriving late. It makes me think

:22:26. > :22:30.that maybe the railway companies are reinventing time again. So you turn

:22:31. > :22:34.up on time for your train but it is late and it doesn't really matter.

:22:35. > :22:39.Maybe we just up like you did before the railways regulated time. The

:22:40. > :22:47.trains would be on time or often. I'm sure you're not the only one. I

:22:48. > :22:51.do try to get the train before the one I need. If I need to be

:22:52. > :23:04.somewhere return, I try to find a trend that arrives at nine. -- a

:23:05. > :23:23.train that arrives at nine. What is Gorp? Gorpcore? I'm going to go to

:23:24. > :23:27.Gardeners' World. Apparently it stands for granola oats raisins and

:23:28. > :23:31.peanuts. You need to keep those in your pockets of your giant shorts. I

:23:32. > :23:38.will get some giant shorts and hiking gear is the innit thing as

:23:39. > :23:46.well. The outsize shirts. That is the only way they seem to fit. A

:23:47. > :23:52.huge tent size shirt with some Gorp in the pockets. Denim cut-offs don't

:23:53. > :23:57.drag in the mud. Lots of pockets because they are useful for

:23:58. > :24:03.festivals like Glastonbury. And wellingtons. I have a pair from when

:24:04. > :24:07.I used to work on a building site and because of a frightened of you

:24:08. > :24:12.stealing them, used to get them in different colours. One thing, one

:24:13. > :24:17.blue. So I will go in my wanting, one blue pair. Somebody will think

:24:18. > :24:18.you are making an incredibly cool fashion statement. Fantastic. More

:24:19. > :24:23.next hour. Let's return to our main

:24:24. > :24:25.story this morning. Church services will be held today

:24:26. > :24:28.to remember the victims Yesterday, residents and volunteers

:24:29. > :24:32.met with Theresa May at Downing We can speak now to

:24:33. > :24:36.Conservative Councillor, Eve Allison who sits on Kensington

:24:37. > :24:44.and Chelsea Borough Council. Thank you for talking to us this

:24:45. > :24:50.morning. Would you tell us what you have been hearing from residents? We

:24:51. > :24:54.have covered a lot about the horrific fire but, also, the emotion

:24:55. > :24:58.after it as people are frustrated about the information they are or

:24:59. > :25:06.are not getting. LO. Can you hear me? Good morning. Good morning to

:25:07. > :25:17.you all. I would just like to say that the mood is sombre and we, the

:25:18. > :25:25.community will continue to do what we can. The danger is when hopes

:25:26. > :25:31.start to fade and from hope then what you find is despair. That is

:25:32. > :25:43.why I am willing to put my head above the parapet and come out and

:25:44. > :25:50.step up to the plate. I am going to go one step further to say it is on

:25:51. > :25:59.our watch. It is our responsibility. We do have a duty of care to our

:26:00. > :26:03.residents and whatever findings and failings come out, they have to come

:26:04. > :26:11.out soon because all the community, the victims of the families, people

:26:19. > :26:23.I said in my first sentence, hope will quickly dissipate and become

:26:24. > :26:31.despair and from that you will have disruption and problems as we have

:26:32. > :26:35.already seen. Tell me about what complaints, if at all any, or what

:26:36. > :26:39.concerns any residents brought up from Grenfell Tower, because you are

:26:40. > :26:48.on the property scrutiny committee. I am indeed. A committee that I have

:26:49. > :26:56.very little voice on so this is why it is important that I stand here

:26:57. > :27:00.and say what has to be said and all too often we are a little too

:27:01. > :27:07.concerned with how, if I could say it, the immediate streetscape looks,

:27:08. > :27:14.how a building fits into other buildings. Does it detract from the

:27:20. > :27:23.the actual planning of the recent refurbishment, obviously I do sit on

:27:24. > :27:35.housing and property scrutiny committee. From what I am hearing,

:27:36. > :27:39.it would have been ideal if the part of the refurbishment package had

:27:40. > :27:43.looked at trying to gentrifying inside, not just outside. That is

:27:44. > :27:48.what I would like to say. Thank you very much for your time. The

:28:08. > :28:11.residents of Grenfell Tower and the Chancellor of the Exchequer. We do

:28:12. > :28:15.not see much of him during the general election campaign but we

:28:16. > :28:20.would like to hear what he is to say about austerity and Brexit talks to

:29:52. > :29:54.to remember the victims of the Grenfell Tower

:29:57. > :30:00.are missing and are believed to have died but that figure

:30:01. > :30:02.could still rise. Yesterday, Theresa May

:30:03. > :30:03.met with volunteers The Prime Minister admitted

:30:04. > :30:06.the government's response, in the hours following the disaster,

:30:07. > :30:14.had not been good enough. A report by the think tank

:30:25. > :30:28.inequality is at its lowest level

:30:29. > :30:32.since the mid-1980s. The government says it intends

:30:33. > :30:35.to double the length of the new Parliamentary session

:30:36. > :30:38.to two years to give MPs the maximum possible time to scrutinise

:30:39. > :30:40.Brexit legislation. The unusual move will mean next

:30:54. > :30:57.and more than 20 others have been injured in a forest fire

:31:39. > :31:40.is predicted to win up It is currently ahead in 400 out

:31:41. > :31:47.of 577 constituencies. For opposition teams,

:31:48. > :31:50.the sight of 15 New Zealand rugby players doing the traditional Maori

:31:51. > :31:52.haka is intimidating enough. So imagine seeing more than 7,000

:31:53. > :31:55.people take up the challenge. This is the world record attempt

:31:56. > :31:58.undertaken before the British and Irish Lions took

:31:59. > :32:00.on the All Blacks yesterday They had to perform for five minutes

:32:01. > :32:12.to officially break the record It wasn't just locals

:32:13. > :32:19.taking part, though, a number of Lions'

:32:20. > :32:28.supporters also joined in. You told us this, Kat, they were

:32:29. > :32:34.doing this outside the hotel where the British lions were staying? Look

:32:35. > :32:39.at this fellow, he could be an all Black in the future, couldn't he?

:32:40. > :32:44.The likelihood is there will be some in the crowd, rugby players and

:32:45. > :32:48.fans, 7000 turning up to watch the Maori All Blacks and New Zealand,

:32:49. > :32:54.such a passionate rugby nation, probably a few All Blacks in there.

:32:55. > :32:58.The first test next weekend? Yes, a week yesterday, this time next week

:32:59. > :32:59.we will know how we are shaping up against them.

:33:00. > :33:11.Tomorrow morning we will have a new major winner, of all 16 players at

:33:12. > :33:13.the top of the US Open none have won a major and you would think one of

:33:14. > :33:15.them would hold on. After day three at golf's US Open,

:33:16. > :33:18.England's Tommy Fleetwood remains firmly in contention

:33:19. > :33:20.at the top of the leaderboard. He sits just one shot behind

:33:21. > :33:23.the overall leader Brian Harman going into the final

:33:24. > :33:25.round in Wisconsin. For Tommy Fleetwood,

:33:26. > :33:28.there is plenty to smile about. For getting amongst the leaders

:33:29. > :33:31.in Wisconsin is one thing, Still he was making his presence

:33:32. > :33:38.felt, progressing steadily For others that didn't appear to be

:33:39. > :33:46.the case but here for Justin Thomas even going in the wrong direction

:33:47. > :33:50.can work out perfectly in the end. His round of 9-under par

:33:51. > :33:52.is a tournament record and was enough to put him

:33:53. > :33:56.for the moment ahead of the rest. While he flourished,

:33:57. > :33:58.others floundered. England's Paul Casey's hopes

:33:59. > :34:04.of staying in contention lost They call day three moving day,

:34:05. > :34:09.there was now plenty of that on the leaderboard and with shots

:34:10. > :34:13.like this the American Brian Harman Fleetwood remains in the crowd

:34:14. > :34:17.just one stroke behind, plenty still to smile

:34:18. > :34:20.about but the US Open has rarely This is my first time in contention

:34:21. > :34:30.in a major so whatever happens I'll be doing my best and seeing how well

:34:31. > :34:34.I can finish and that's that really. But it will be a pleasure to go out

:34:35. > :34:51.on a Sunday trying to win a major. Warran Gatland has named his side

:34:52. > :34:55.to face the Chiefs on Tuesday and has included all six

:34:56. > :34:57.controversial call-ups he made Ireland hooker Rory Best captains

:34:58. > :35:01.the side, with the bulk of the squad that beat the Maori All Blacks

:35:02. > :35:04.yesterday aren't playing so they can prepare for the first

:35:05. > :35:07.Test against the All Blacks next

:35:08. > :35:08.Saturday. Gatland says those involved

:35:09. > :35:10.on Tuesday will be playing for themselves and

:35:11. > :35:12.for the whole squad. We brought you Scotland's historic

:35:13. > :35:15.win over Australia here on Breakfast yesterday morning, and that was just

:35:16. > :35:18.the start of it as England completed a 2-0 series victory over Argentina

:35:19. > :35:21.after winning the second test Full-back Mike Brown broke clear

:35:22. > :35:25.before producing a brilliant off load to send Piers Francis over

:35:26. > :35:28.for a great try before half time. England went on to win 35-25

:35:29. > :35:32.but Eddie Jones's squad was missing 30 of their best players,

:35:33. > :35:36.largely due to the Lions tour. Today we found a way to win,

:35:37. > :35:42.we were outgunned in the first half, second half we came back

:35:43. > :35:44.in the forwards particularly and scrums and our maul defence

:35:45. > :35:48.improved and that got us back in the game and then our ability

:35:49. > :35:51.to score off their mistakes England batsman Jason Roy made

:35:52. > :35:57.a welcome return to form as Surrey reached their third

:35:58. > :35:59.straight One Day Cup final. Roy, dropped by England in midweek,

:36:00. > :36:02.smashed 92 as Surrey beat Worcestershire Rapids

:36:03. > :36:04.by 153 runs at New Road. They'll play Nottinghamshire

:36:05. > :36:11.in the final on the first of July. India take on arch-rivals Pakistan

:36:12. > :36:14.in the Champions Trophy Final this afternoon,

:36:17. > :36:22.for the match and talk of over half a billion people watching the game

:36:23. > :36:24.on TV, everyone's hoping I don't see any relevance

:36:25. > :36:32.of the first game here because you can never tell

:36:33. > :36:35.how the particular team Some teams start very

:36:36. > :36:38.confidently and they fade off, some teams may not have the best

:36:39. > :36:42.starts and they come back amazingly, Everyone is aware of the kind

:36:43. > :36:52.of talent they have in their team. I said before the Edgbaston game

:36:53. > :36:55.I thought they were very calm, but they're very

:36:56. > :36:57.excited right now and there's a hell of a good vibe

:36:58. > :37:00.in that dressing room. So let's hope we can

:37:01. > :37:03.to our A game on tomorrow cause if we can, I said it

:37:04. > :37:06.before the England game, if we put our A game together

:37:07. > :37:09.and we do the basics well Johanna Konta could become the first

:37:10. > :37:17.British woman since Virginia Wade 40 years ago at Wimbledon to win

:37:18. > :37:20.a tour event on home soil. She's reached the final

:37:21. > :37:22.of the Nottingham Open. After coming through in straight

:37:23. > :37:25.sets against Magdalena Rybarikova of It's the first time the British

:37:26. > :37:28.number one has reached She'll face Croatia's Donna Vekic,

:37:56. > :37:58.semi-finals of the Challenge Cup, surviving a late Warrington

:37:59. > :38:00.fightback yesterday to win 27-26. Four converted tries,

:38:01. > :38:02.including this from John Bateman, and a drop goal had put Wigan clear

:38:03. > :38:06.going into the final stages. But Warrington could have forced

:38:07. > :38:09.extra time with the last kick of the game only

:38:10. > :38:11.for it to drift wide. Castleford play Hull FC this

:38:12. > :38:15.afternoon in the final quarterfinal. England strengthened their position

:38:16. > :38:18.at the top of their pool in the Hockey World League

:38:19. > :38:21.semi-finals with a 7-3 scored twice, as did captain Barry

:38:26. > :38:27.the World League Finals later in the year, the top five teams

:38:28. > :38:31.qualify for the World Cup in India Scotland's men are

:38:32. > :38:38.in the other pool. A 3-0 defeat to the Netherlands

:38:39. > :38:52.means they've lost both Lots of hockey news on the website

:38:53. > :38:57.as well. The plan today is go home, have a snooze, it will be a

:38:58. > :39:01.late-night tonight seeing if Tommy Fleetwood can bring the US Open

:39:02. > :39:05.title home. Fingers crossed. He looks like quite a character. Naga

:39:06. > :39:10.knows him from playing with him at Wentworth. I don't know him but I

:39:11. > :39:13.had the honour of playing with him at Wentworth, very relaxed and he

:39:14. > :39:18.meditates as well. That's what it takes in golf, you have to be

:39:19. > :39:25.relaxed, all in the head. Not just a physical game, a mental game in all

:39:26. > :39:27.senses! Thanks very much, Kat! Helen will bring us the weather a little

:39:28. > :39:27.later. A little over two weeks ago,

:39:28. > :39:30.the world watched in horror as another terror attack unfolded

:39:31. > :39:33.on the streets of Britain. Eight people were killed

:39:34. > :39:35.when terrorists drove a van into pedestrians on London Bridge

:39:36. > :39:38.before launching a knife attack The journalist and martial arts

:39:39. > :39:43.expert Geoff Ho was stabbed in the neck when he confronted two

:39:44. > :39:46.of the attackers to He's still receiving

:39:47. > :39:48.treatment for his injuries but was able to return

:39:49. > :40:03.to Borough Market on Thursday Thank you so much, Geoff, for

:40:04. > :40:08.talking to us this morning. Firstly, how are you? Good morning, doing

:40:09. > :40:13.really well. Great. Tell us what happened if you wouldn't mind on

:40:14. > :40:17.that evening. Absolutely. I just finished watching the Champions

:40:18. > :40:21.League final with my friends in one of the local pubs, the Wheatsheaf,

:40:22. > :40:26.was minding my own business, I walked a few yards up the road and I

:40:27. > :40:30.saw two people attacking one of the bouncers. This was actually a

:40:31. > :40:35.separate incident. These two people attacked the bouncer so I jumped in

:40:36. > :40:39.to defend him, managed to hold them off for a few minutes and then the

:40:40. > :40:43.police rolled up, took these two people away. Instead of going onto

:40:44. > :40:48.the tube and taking my train home I decided to go to the restaurant

:40:49. > :40:52.Black and Blue to meet up with some friends to get some food and another

:40:53. > :40:56.drink. That was the fateful decision and within literally the space of

:40:57. > :41:01.four minutes the terrorists arrived and tried to kick in the door and

:41:02. > :41:05.that's when I had to intervene. Veainu they arrived, they got to the

:41:06. > :41:10.restaurant and tried to get into the restaurant -- so they arrived. Yes,

:41:11. > :41:13.they kicked in the glass door. I saw one of my friends and others

:41:14. > :41:18.scrambling for the back, some hid under tables, some went into the

:41:19. > :41:22.booths, some went to the back of the restaurant. One of my friends was

:41:23. > :41:27.behind me and I knew right there and then that unless I delayed them they

:41:28. > :41:31.would be... The worst could possibly happen. I knew I had to delay them

:41:32. > :41:36.because the police were in the area, I just needed to buy them time.

:41:37. > :41:41.Unfortunately I saw what looked like suicide vest is on them so I knew I

:41:42. > :41:45.couldn't head straight at them and attack them because they could have

:41:46. > :41:49.detonated the vests and that would have been the worst possible outcome

:41:50. > :41:53.so I had to somehow keep them at bay. They started yelling everyone

:41:54. > :41:56.get on the floor, I knew if anyone had done that that would be game

:41:57. > :42:01.over instantly, they would have killed them there and then. The

:42:02. > :42:05.attackers came at me, they started barking at everyone to get on the

:42:06. > :42:09.floor, I told them no. I kept telling them know and then they

:42:10. > :42:14.snapped and they started to charge at me with knives. They attempted to

:42:15. > :42:17.stab me in the throat, unfortunately they succeeded on that front, they

:42:18. > :42:21.attempted to stab me in the stomach, they didn't in that instance, I

:42:22. > :42:26.managed to jump out of the way and avoid that blade and all I got was a

:42:27. > :42:30.couple of scratches on my stomach. Then unfortunately they got me on

:42:31. > :42:33.the side of the face. They are attacked my friend, he suffered

:42:34. > :42:38.superficial injuries and they ran off and within a minute the police

:42:39. > :42:42.arrived. Geoff, you have been described as a hero, you have

:42:43. > :42:47.described to us what happened to you, having read what did happen as

:42:48. > :42:52.well, I wonder if you can tell us a bit more about the bit where you

:42:53. > :43:00.defended other people from these attackers selflessly. What happened

:43:01. > :43:04.was they came into the restaurant, I knew instantly because everyone was

:43:05. > :43:07.scrambling that I had to buy them time so I engaged with them, I

:43:08. > :43:11.engaged with the attackers. They came at week with knives, I tried to

:43:12. > :43:15.block the first one, unfortunately the first right to the throat wasn't

:43:16. > :43:20.that successful, I got injured, got out of the way of the second blade

:43:21. > :43:23.at the same time as I was trying to dodge the attack to the stomach, I

:43:24. > :43:29.tried throwing a couple of punches, I think I landed at least one. I

:43:30. > :43:32.tried to put myself in the way to make sure they couldn't get to my

:43:33. > :43:37.friend behind me. These attackers were obviously very determined,

:43:38. > :43:43.could you see the intent they had? They had no respect... There was no

:43:44. > :43:47.respect for human life. You could see in their eyes, they were full of

:43:48. > :43:52.rage, they just wanted to hurt as many people as possible and they

:43:53. > :43:55.didn't care who they attacked. You have been receiving treatment for

:43:56. > :44:01.your injuries, how is that progressing? Are you recovering

:44:02. > :44:04.well? I'm recovering well. The paramedics that treated me on the

:44:05. > :44:08.day before I got to hospital, the staff at the Royal London hospital,

:44:09. > :44:12.the surgeons, the other doctors and nurses were all wonderful. I'm being

:44:13. > :44:17.looked after at the moment by my local GP and the nurses there. I'm

:44:18. > :44:21.going really well, the recovery is really going well. Good to hear.

:44:22. > :44:25.Would you have done anything differently would you think? I try

:44:26. > :44:29.not to think about it to be perfectly honest, I would have done

:44:30. > :44:33.exactly the same thing... Hopefully I will never have to put myself in

:44:34. > :44:39.that situation again. To be honest or I needed to do was to buy people

:44:40. > :44:44.time to get away. I get it, that was my job, I'm happy with that -- all I

:44:45. > :44:47.needed. Your friends and the people in that restaurant will be very

:44:48. > :44:51.grateful I'm sure and I'm pleased you are recovering well, thank you

:44:52. > :44:54.for talking to us this morning. Thank you for your time, appreciate

:44:55. > :44:58.it. Somebody who does something so brave

:44:59. > :45:03.and so selfless being so humble and modest, incredible.

:45:04. > :45:12.Good morning, Helen. He led to both of you. Another hot day. If

:45:13. > :45:17.anything, a little hotter than yesterday. We have pictures coming

:45:18. > :45:20.in left right and centre and they are beautiful. This one shows the

:45:21. > :45:26.sunshine coming through the leaves. It is one little bit earlier. A

:45:27. > :45:32.beautiful start of the day a little cloud around. Any Mr is melting

:45:33. > :45:36.away. There is more definite cloud across parts of western Scotland. In

:45:37. > :45:41.Northern Ireland as well. Where we see the sunshine, it is as strong as

:45:42. > :45:45.it gets. Not usual to see high levels of UV. Are very strong

:45:46. > :45:51.sunshine indeed. Across the UK today. Especially noticeable across

:45:52. > :45:56.eastern Scotland where we see the sunshine east of Northern Ireland

:45:57. > :46:02.and in Wales -- eastern England. And although he even if you feel cool

:46:03. > :46:07.compass Sun is just a strong. It is not depend on the temperature. The

:46:08. > :46:11.temperature is starting to leap up now and that will continue as that

:46:12. > :46:18.strong sunshine beats down across the UK not for all, however because

:46:19. > :46:21.we have rain coming and going. That will allow some brighter skies into

:46:22. > :46:27.Orkney and Shetland today. From where we see the heat across many

:46:28. > :46:32.areas and the intense heat across the south-east and East Anglia it is

:46:33. > :46:35.worth mentioning it could trigger a late thunderstorm. The exception

:46:36. > :46:40.rather than the rule but I need to mention a. That will rumble out

:46:41. > :46:44.through the evening. This weather fronts with little south so it is

:46:45. > :46:48.going to be a damp night for more than Scotland but for most of us,

:46:49. > :46:53.look at these temperatures. I was thinking daytime averages, it will

:46:54. > :46:57.be a fairly warm night. Increasingly uncomfortable for sleeping full of

:46:58. > :47:01.my girls were struggling last night. The heat baked a little in the north

:47:02. > :47:05.through the course of tomorrow and in the south is still with us was

:47:06. > :47:09.just able more cloud creeping in. The heat is with us across England

:47:10. > :47:15.and Wales in particular through Monday and Tuesday, a cumulative

:47:16. > :47:18.effect of a few days of high temperatures and overnight

:47:19. > :47:22.temperatures close to 18 and 19, it will make it very uncomfortable for

:47:23. > :47:28.farm. Despite that fact is a lovely day again for most. It really is

:47:29. > :47:42.wonderful. It will be nice on the beach then. Yes, it will be. You do

:47:43. > :47:48.a good job of saying the name of that beach in Wales. Thank you very

:47:49. > :47:52.much, Helen. We will be back with the headlines at eight o'clock. You

:47:53. > :47:57.know, I don't think we need to watch the travel show. It is too glorious

:47:58. > :48:04.here, why do we need to watch the travel showers Bermuda? No, what

:48:05. > :48:06.should and we will see you soon. -- now, watch it and we will see you

:48:07. > :48:18.soon. This week on the Travel Show

:48:19. > :48:30.we are in Bermuda. This week coming to you from

:48:31. > :48:33.Bermuda, which this year is hosting one of the world's biggest sporting

:48:34. > :48:36.events, the America's Cup, right The America's Cup is the Formula One

:48:37. > :48:50.of the boat world, the most Over the past few weeks,

:48:51. > :48:56.six international teams have been racing across the waters

:48:57. > :48:58.of Bermuda's Great Sound And this weekend, the competition

:48:59. > :49:05.reaches its dramatic climax, with the start of the finals,

:49:06. > :49:08.when the titleholders, Team Oracle from the USA,

:49:09. > :49:12.face their challengers for the cup. Now, over there, some of the teams

:49:13. > :49:24.are practising and I've never seen When they raise up out of the ocean

:49:25. > :49:30.on their hydrofoils, They are so fast, so awesome - it's

:49:31. > :49:43.like they're flying across the sea. This is a massive event

:49:44. > :49:45.and it's the first time Tens of thousands of spectators have

:49:46. > :49:51.headed here, plus an estimated 50 million people around the world

:49:52. > :49:55.are watching on TV. But here in Bermuda,

:49:56. > :49:58.the spotlight isn't just on what's happening above the water -

:49:59. > :50:01.what's going on underneath the waves The water is obviously our playing

:50:02. > :50:11.field, so obviously it's within our own interests

:50:12. > :50:16.to highlight the issues that there have been globally

:50:17. > :50:19.with plastics in the ocean. It's forecast that by 2050,

:50:20. > :50:21.there could be more plastic Clearly, that's a major issue that

:50:22. > :50:27.we've got to get on top of. I think through sailing,

:50:28. > :50:29.through the America's Cup, if we can help to highlight some

:50:30. > :50:32.of these issues and also some It's estimated there are now

:50:33. > :50:41.five trillion pieces of plastic But whilst waste and pollution

:50:42. > :50:50.are a huge concern, they aren't the only things impacting

:50:51. > :50:54.on the environment here in Bermuda. This place is gorgeous,

:50:55. > :50:56.but beneath these beautiful waters, a species is lurking that is having

:50:57. > :50:59.an absolutely devastating effect It's a creature that is presenting

:51:00. > :51:08.the biggest challenge They're striking to look at, but

:51:09. > :51:24.they don't belong in the Atlantic. They are native to the coral reefs

:51:25. > :51:27.of the Pacific Ocean. Scientists reckon they may have

:51:28. > :51:36.ended up in these waters after being released

:51:37. > :51:37.by aquarium owners. But here, they have no natural

:51:38. > :51:40.predators, so their numbers have grown and they are now rapidly

:51:41. > :51:45.destroying the ocean's marine life. They can just overconsume at

:51:46. > :51:49.an exorbitant rate and the problem with that is that the fish that live

:51:50. > :51:53.in the Atlantic Ocean don't recognise the lionfish

:51:54. > :51:55.is a potential threat, and so the lionfish just

:51:56. > :51:57.opens its mouth and gobbles in all of these little tiny fish

:51:58. > :52:01.and it's having a huge impact on fish populations around

:52:02. > :52:03.the Caribbean and western Atlantic. Experts here believe the only way

:52:04. > :52:18.to control the lionfish can't evolve fast enough to deal

:52:19. > :52:25.with this new species. And since we put it there, it's our

:52:26. > :52:29.problem to try to control it. Conservation groups such as the Reef

:52:30. > :52:31.Environmental Education Foundation regularly organise and sanction

:52:32. > :52:33.fishing trips aimed Uniquely, here in Bermuda,

:52:34. > :52:41.these lionfish tend to congregate in very deep waters,

:52:42. > :52:47.so it's really hard for fishermen to catch them in large numbers,

:52:48. > :52:50.but now it's hoped that pioneering technology could provide

:52:51. > :52:57.a more effective answer. This is one of our prototypes

:52:58. > :53:02.of a robot that we've You sit down at your computer

:53:03. > :53:09.screen, just like you're playing a game, and you can see

:53:10. > :53:13.through the camera and you drive it down, look for a lionfish, put

:53:14. > :53:16.the lionfish between the electrodes, push the stun button

:53:17. > :53:18.and the lionfish will lock up with the electricity so it can't

:53:19. > :53:22.move, then you push another button and suck it up into the tube and go

:53:23. > :53:29.looking for the next lionfish. Each robot can scoop

:53:30. > :53:34.up around 15 lionfish in a single trip and,

:53:35. > :53:38.crucially, the final design will operate well below depths that

:53:39. > :53:42.can be reached by divers. Actually, the best way

:53:43. > :53:50.to approach them is from above, from in front, towards the spikes,

:53:51. > :53:53.and he'll basically say, come on, He's not expecting

:53:54. > :53:56.you to electrocute him Hunting the lionfish here might seem

:53:57. > :54:04.to go against our usual idea population now, scientists say that

:54:05. > :54:08.will give the underwater ecosystem a chance to repair,

:54:09. > :54:11.evolve and adapt and remain Part of the problem they've got

:54:12. > :54:38.on their hands here is that locals aren't keen on eating this rather

:54:39. > :54:41.scary-looking and venomous fish and that's why they've started

:54:42. > :54:44.a project called Eat Them To Beat Once you remove these spines, you're

:54:45. > :54:51.moving from malicious to delicious. Chef Ming has been teaching

:54:52. > :54:57.at Bermuda College for 20 years but he's only just added lionfish

:54:58. > :55:00.preparation to the curriculum. The students are cooking up a whole

:55:01. > :55:03.range of lionfish dishes from tacos to fish and chips and Chef tells me

:55:04. > :55:08.he's got a plan for what to do Today, it's a special opportunity

:55:09. > :55:15.to have you guys here. There will be thousands

:55:16. > :55:21.of people lining the streets to watch our parade and what we're

:55:22. > :55:24.going to do today is leave Bermuda College

:55:25. > :55:26.with cooked samples - One way to get them on board

:55:27. > :55:37.is with people who haven't tried it. Then they can spread the word

:55:38. > :55:41.about the goodness of the lionfish. So, what's your plan

:55:42. > :55:43.for this bad boy? Well, this bad boy, I'm

:55:44. > :55:45.going to remove the spines, then fillet it so I end up with two

:55:46. > :55:50.sides, then I was going to flatten the fillets and stuff them

:55:51. > :55:55.with lobster Thermidor, The first thing that you want to do

:55:56. > :56:04.is remove the spines. It is OK to touch but try not

:56:05. > :56:08.to puncture yourself. Those spines can deliver a nasty

:56:09. > :56:16.sting, so the fish need By teaching the students here how

:56:17. > :56:24.to deal with the venomous needles, it is hoped they'll take

:56:25. > :56:28.their lionfish skills to the restaurants of Bermuda

:56:29. > :56:30.when they graduate. Don't you mess with

:56:31. > :56:32.the environment again! We should take this out

:56:33. > :57:04.to the parade, all of this food, because it looks good,

:57:05. > :57:07.and we should give the people In Bermuda's capital, Hamilton,

:57:08. > :57:23.the streets are ram packed Today marks the start of summer

:57:24. > :57:37.and it seems the whole island's out here celebrating,

:57:38. > :57:39.although they probably weren't expecting me to crash the party

:57:40. > :57:43.with a plate of lionfish. I think I would eat

:57:44. > :58:12.some more after this. Sadly, that's all we have this week.

:58:13. > :58:18.Join us next week. I will be looking back at some of our favourite trips

:58:19. > :58:32.so far this year. From dancing monks in India to getting to grips with

:58:33. > :58:36.lively reindeer in Lapland. So make sure you join us for that if you

:58:37. > :58:41.can. In the meantime, you can keep up with all our travels on the road

:58:42. > :58:47.in real time by following us on social media. All the details are on

:58:48. > :58:53.your. For now, from me and all the travel show team here in Bermuda it

:58:54. > :59:43.is goodbye. I have a party to go to! See you later!

:59:44. > :59:46.This is Breakfast, with Roger Johnson and Naga Munchetty.

:59:47. > :59:49.Church services will take place today to remember the victims

:59:50. > :59:55.Police say at least 58 people are believed to have died.

:59:56. > :59:57.Residents and volunteers expressed their anger at a meeting

:59:58. > :00:07.It was a robust discussion. There was forceful emotion in the room.

:00:08. > :00:10.People were able to say what they wanted to say and we felt that was

:00:11. > :00:21.listened to, and listened to carefully.

:00:53. > :00:58.In sport: Tommy Fleetwood remains firmly in contention at the US Open

:00:59. > :01:00.in Wisconsin. He is just one shot off the leader Brian Harman going

:01:01. > :01:11.into today's final round. Good morning. Another hot day for

:01:12. > :01:15.the vast majority. The sunshine as strong as it gets and it is likely

:01:16. > :01:17.to last for another few days yet for most of us. I will have the details

:01:18. > :01:22.in 15 minutes. Thank you. Church services will be held today

:01:23. > :01:25.to remember the victims of the Grenfell Tower fire in West

:01:26. > :01:27.London. Police have revealed that

:01:28. > :01:29.58 people are missing and are believed to have died

:01:30. > :01:32.but that figure could still rise. Yesterday Theresa May

:01:33. > :01:33.met with volunteers Government staff have been

:01:34. > :01:37.drafted in to improve the response to the disaster,

:01:38. > :01:43.as Nick Quraishi reports. The devastation caused

:01:44. > :01:45.by the inferno stops The dark reality abundantly

:01:46. > :01:53.clear in broad daylight. Four days on, the community is still

:01:54. > :01:56.angry about a lack of co-ordination, It's always the public

:01:57. > :02:01.that runs to the rescue. Residents, community

:02:02. > :02:08.leaders and volunteers took their frustrations

:02:09. > :02:10.to Downing Street, spending two It was a robust discussion,

:02:11. > :02:15.there was forceful emotion in the room, people were able to say

:02:16. > :02:19.what they wanted to say and we felt that was listened

:02:20. > :02:27.to and listened to carefully. Theresa May, who has come

:02:43. > :02:46.and Chelsea Council cope with the response and the Red Cross

:02:47. > :02:53.will provide psychological support. As people wait and pray

:02:54. > :02:55.for the missing, church services today will remember those who didn't

:02:56. > :03:01.make it out of Grenfell Tower. A reminder of the complex

:03:02. > :03:16.and lengthy process of recovering Simon Jones is outside Notting Hill

:03:17. > :03:24.Methodist Church. That is where one of the services will be taking place

:03:25. > :03:29.today. Good morning. After the shock, after the grief, after the

:03:30. > :03:33.anger, church leaders are hoping that today will be a pause for

:03:34. > :03:38.reflection. And you can see here at the side of the church the flowers

:03:39. > :03:42.that have been left to mark so many lives lost. There are also lots of

:03:43. > :03:47.posters here of the faces of people missing, who are now sadly presumed

:03:48. > :03:50.dead. What we have had is a lot of concern that it has been

:03:51. > :03:57.organisations like the church and the volunteers who have stepped in

:03:58. > :04:00.to fill the breach. Churches opened their doors on a night of the fire

:04:01. > :04:03.at about three o'clock in the morning to take people in. They have

:04:04. > :04:06.been involved in getting donations. But a question from a lot of people

:04:07. > :04:12.is where is the government, what have they been doing and where is

:04:13. > :04:15.the local council? The government, stung by the criticism, has

:04:16. > :04:18.announced it is sending in more civil servants to work on the

:04:19. > :04:29.council offices to support the operation. I just want to give you a

:04:30. > :04:32.sense of the scene here. This is the police cordon right next to the

:04:33. > :04:34.church. We have seen fire officers going in during the course of the

:04:35. > :04:37.morning. And behind there, that is what is left of the tower, still a

:04:38. > :04:41.very shocking sight when you see it close up, when you see it in the

:04:42. > :04:46.daylight like this. The church is hoping that after the initial crisis

:04:47. > :04:50.control, now they can move on to offering more support for people,

:04:51. > :04:54.people who have lost loved ones and friends, and families who have lost

:04:55. > :04:57.their homes, and also what they want to do is offer support for people

:04:58. > :05:01.who live in this area who may not have been directly affected but need

:05:02. > :05:06.some moral support. Simon, thank you for the moment. Simon Jones.

:05:07. > :05:08.A report by the think tank The Resolution Foundation

:05:09. > :05:10.claims that Britain's wealth inequality is growing.

:05:11. > :05:13.It suggests that a fall in the number of people

:05:14. > :05:15.who own their own home has resulted in a widening gap

:05:16. > :05:19.The government says income inequality is now at its lowest

:05:20. > :05:28.Wealth is arguably the biggest determinant of living standards over

:05:29. > :05:31.people's lives but yet it barely features in today's living standards

:05:32. > :05:35.debates, and that's a big deal because our analysis shows wealth

:05:36. > :05:38.is far more unequally spread across scoiety than incomes

:05:39. > :05:46.are and because of declining property ownership,

:05:47. > :05:48.declining home ownership for the least wealthy households,

:05:49. > :05:49.that inequality has started to go up.

:05:50. > :05:56.The government says it intends to double the length

:05:57. > :05:58.of the new Parliamentary session to two years to give MPs

:05:59. > :06:00.the maximum possible time to scrutinise Brexit legislation.

:06:01. > :06:03.The unusual move will mean next year's Queen's Speech

:06:04. > :06:05.Our political correspondent Susana Mendonca is in our London newsroom.

:06:06. > :06:11.Good morning. Is this significant, the cancellation of the Queen's

:06:12. > :06:17.speech and the lengthening of the term? I think what it shows is just

:06:18. > :06:20.how difficult the government realises that getting Brexit

:06:21. > :06:23.legislation through Parliament will be, particularly now that it doesn't

:06:24. > :06:29.have that majority that it had beforehand. So you have got this

:06:30. > :06:35.plan now to have this two year Parliament. During that time it will

:06:36. > :06:40.give MPs extra time to go through key legislation, for example the

:06:41. > :06:43.Great Repeal Bill. Also controversial legislation around

:06:44. > :06:47.immigration. Another key issue for the government really, one key

:06:48. > :06:52.advantage of this, by not having another Queen's speech in a year's

:06:53. > :06:58.time, it offsets that risk really, that a second Queen's Speech might

:06:59. > :07:02.be voted down by opposition MPs. Of course this year's speech, they are

:07:03. > :07:05.getting the support of the DUP, and there is no guarantee they would get

:07:06. > :07:09.that support next time round. Although it is unusual having a two

:07:10. > :07:13.year Parliament, it has been done before. The coalition government did

:07:14. > :07:18.in 2010 to get through the coalition agreement. Just pick up on a story

:07:19. > :07:22.in the Sunday Times, if you would, on the front page. It says Tories

:07:23. > :07:29.tell Theresa May you have ten days. Talking about a grassroots view that

:07:30. > :07:33.maybe Theresa May isn't doing a good enough job. And MPs might be

:07:34. > :07:36.influenced to try and unseat her. What more do you know? The Prime

:07:37. > :07:38.Minister is clearly under pressure and she has been under pressure

:07:39. > :07:45.since that election where she lost the majority that the Conservatives

:07:46. > :07:49.had. Since then, more issues, for example the tragic event at

:07:50. > :07:56.Granville house. She was criticised for not meeting people there. -- at

:07:57. > :08:00.Grunfeld Tower. All of these things have played into getting people to

:08:01. > :08:03.question her leadership again. In terms of the Conservatives who are

:08:04. > :08:07.worried about whether or not the Brexit that you spoke about, the

:08:08. > :08:13.idea of not having the customs union, the single market, no freedom

:08:14. > :08:16.of movement, they are worried that things might be diluted if the

:08:17. > :08:24.government has got to rely upon the support of the DUP for example, and

:08:25. > :08:27.maybe other groups that want them to take a less stringent stance on

:08:28. > :08:32.those things. Certainly if she goes back on any of those promises made

:08:33. > :08:37.to the Eurosceptics, certainly, potentially she could be at risk.

:08:38. > :08:46.She has got a difficult time ahead. Thank you.

:08:47. > :08:51.A forest fire in central Portugal has killed at least 39 people.

:08:52. > :08:53.Victims died in their vehicles as they tried

:08:54. > :08:54.to escape but became trapped by flames.

:08:55. > :08:59.A deadly mix of strong winds and a severe heatwave

:09:00. > :09:02.have fanned the flames now threatening to engulf homes.

:09:03. > :09:04.Burning uncontrollably, this fire is already one

:09:05. > :09:10.of the worst forest fires in Portugal in decades.

:09:11. > :09:13.More than 20 people have died, most of them trapped in their cars.

:09:14. > :09:16.A number of people were reported to be missing.

:09:17. > :09:24.We've already identified 24 victims but this number could rise.

:09:25. > :09:30.All of those who died were on a road in the same fire at the same place.

:09:31. > :09:33.It started on Saturday at 3pm local time in a mountainous area 200

:10:08. > :10:13.ship off the coast of Japan have been found dead.

:10:14. > :10:19.Rupert Wingfield Hayes joins us now. We were talking yesterday when we

:10:20. > :10:26.knew that the collision had taken place and people were missing. These

:10:27. > :10:29.developments are tragic. Yes, very sad. What everybody here feared but

:10:30. > :10:33.everybody was hoping would not turn out to be the case has turned out to

:10:34. > :10:38.be the case. When Navy divers were able to get inside the flooded

:10:39. > :10:41.compartments of the Fitzgerald this morning, they found the bodies of

:10:42. > :10:47.the seven missing sailors inside those compartments. The sea and air

:10:48. > :10:51.search has now been called off. The bodies have been transferred to a

:10:55. > :10:58.here in Japan, who has said this was a very large collision and most of

:10:59. > :11:02.the damage was actually below the water line, so out of sight from the

:11:03. > :11:07.television cameras that have shown the damage to the ship. And it was

:11:08. > :11:10.in danger of sinking. The water rushed in very rapidly and it was

:11:11. > :11:16.only the prompt action of the crew that saved the ship from sinking. It

:11:17. > :11:19.is obviously a very serious incident. There is now a joint

:11:20. > :11:24.investigation begun with the Japanese authorities about why it

:11:25. > :11:28.happened. That is focusing on the cargo vessel that struck the

:11:29. > :11:32.Fitzgerald, which appears, according to GPS tracking records, to have

:11:33. > :11:39.made a number of very rapid and tight U-turns as it approached the

:11:40. > :11:42.coast of Japan. It will be focusing on why it may those dramatic turns

:12:45. > :12:48.our main story. Church services will be held today

:12:49. > :12:50.to remember the victims Church services will be held today

:12:51. > :12:54.to remember the victims We can speak now to the Bishop

:12:55. > :13:02.of Kensington, Graham Tomlin. Church services will be held today

:13:03. > :13:05.to remember the victims He helped organise the meeting

:13:06. > :13:12.with the Prime Minister. Thank you for your time. You helped

:13:13. > :13:16.to organise that meeting. Give us a flavour of the atmosphere in the

:13:17. > :13:21.room. It was passionate. It was robust. It was constructive. My role

:13:22. > :13:26.was simply to enable the meeting to happen. The key thing was for the

:13:27. > :13:31.voices of residents to be heard. They did make that voices heard.

:13:32. > :13:34.They spoke very strongly about their love for the community here. They

:13:35. > :13:38.talked about the deep anger that there is in this community about the

:13:39. > :13:44.fire itself and what led to it and some of the aftermath as well. They

:13:45. > :13:47.have spoken very much about the need for listening, real listening to

:13:48. > :13:50.people. I think there is a deep sense here very often that people

:13:51. > :13:55.here don't feel listened to by those making decisions about their lives.

:13:56. > :13:59.They talked about the need for real action and we need to see action

:14:00. > :14:02.sooner rather than later. We had a real sense that the Prime Minister

:14:03. > :14:08.was listening to what the group had to say. That was the atmosphere. It

:14:09. > :14:12.was a good, constructive if passionate meeting. That was going

:14:13. > :14:19.to be my question. Was the Prime Minister listening? You say she was.

:14:20. > :14:23.Did you sense a sympathetic ear? We had two meetings, one in north

:14:24. > :14:26.Kensington on Friday, and another where we were invited back to

:14:27. > :14:32.Downing Street the day after. We were encouraged after our first

:14:33. > :14:36.meeting when the Prime Minister put out a statement responding to some

:14:37. > :14:39.of the concerns of the residents. One of them was to say that a lot of

:14:40. > :14:43.people around this area have been made homeless and simply don't have

:14:44. > :14:49.cash to use for normal things during the day. It was good to hear that an

:14:50. > :14:54.amount of money had been made available for that. We were

:14:55. > :14:58.concerned about the lack of coordination of care for people in

:14:59. > :15:02.the area and again we were glad to hear that one centre had been

:15:03. > :15:09.designated as a place where people can go to find care. The Westway

:15:10. > :15:13.Centre. Words are good but action is better. There is a real sense of

:15:14. > :15:22.waiting to see whether some of the words will be translated into

:15:23. > :15:25.action. There has been a lot of talk this week about the nature of the

:15:26. > :15:30.borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Such affluence next to such poverty.

:15:31. > :15:37.I wonder how that sits with you as the Bishop. Yes, I have been very

:15:38. > :15:42.aware that in this borough for quite some time it is a place of great

:15:43. > :15:45.extremes. We have some of the wealthiest parts of London alongside

:15:46. > :15:50.some of the most deprived wards in the capital as well. That brings its

:15:51. > :15:54.own tension and it raises some real issues for us, I think, about

:15:55. > :16:00.housing, about how we look after the most vulnerable in our society, and

:16:01. > :16:06.it is an uncomfortable thing that is here. Via this tragic thing that has

:16:07. > :16:11.happened over the last week, it really raised those issues that we

:16:12. > :16:15.need to deal with as a society. Do people feel forgotten, as though

:16:16. > :16:18.they were not listened to? Within hours of the fire, midweek, people

:16:19. > :16:24.were saying we have been warning them and telling them that this is a

:16:25. > :16:34.real risk. I think that is right. I very much picked up this week a

:16:35. > :16:38.sense of the voiceless feelings around here, that people don't have

:16:39. > :16:44.a voice about their lives and they don't have much impact. That was why

:16:45. > :16:47.I was hopeful about this dialogue that has opened up and the ability

:16:48. > :16:51.to speak directly to the premise. My hope is that it is the beginning of

:16:52. > :16:58.a process and not the end, the beginning of a real listening to

:16:59. > :17:02.people in areas like across London. This is the first Sunday since the

:17:03. > :17:06.fire. Can you just tell us what will be happening today and how important

:17:07. > :17:16.a role you and your fellow clergy have in helping people there?

:17:17. > :17:25.Christian clergy, ministers from different religions Imams, have been

:17:26. > :17:28.helping a lot throughout the week. Churches and mosques and local

:17:29. > :17:32.community centres, they have risen up to provide the care that has been

:17:33. > :17:38.needed. The clergy has been involved in many of our clergy have been out

:17:39. > :17:41.on the streets in Kensington. I asked if anybody had time to come to

:17:42. > :17:44.Kensington to walk around and be available to talk to people and it

:17:45. > :17:48.is amazing to see them doing that. Today across this area there will be

:17:49. > :17:51.churches meeting of all different kinds. I will be at one of the

:17:52. > :17:58.church is just down the road, near to the tower. My message today is

:17:59. > :18:00.simply to say thank you to the people who are here for the

:18:01. > :18:04.extraordinary amount of compassion and care that has been taking place

:18:05. > :18:09.and the significant role that the church has played in this last week.

:18:10. > :18:13.But also to give a message of hope. I think we have got to deal with

:18:14. > :18:17.hope. I have got to hope. I am a Christian. That is what I do. That

:18:18. > :18:22.is the message we have got to give today. Yes, there is the grief, the

:18:23. > :18:25.anger, the passion. Yes, there is the pride that we take in our

:18:26. > :18:29.emergency services and all the people who have helped over this

:18:30. > :18:33.week. But we have also got to strike that note of hope today that lives

:18:34. > :18:36.could be rebuilt and there is the future and it is possible for

:18:37. > :18:40.communities to come together and for the kind of justice that people in

:18:41. > :18:45.this area are longing to see to take place. Bishop, thank you very much

:18:46. > :18:54.for taking the time to talk to us. The Bishop of Kensington. It is

:18:55. > :19:00.8:18am. This is a view outside the studios this morning. Sunshine here

:19:01. > :19:04.and in London as well. This is the view over Salford quays. Gorgeous

:19:05. > :19:09.still water and a reflection of the bridge as well. This is the picture

:19:10. > :19:13.that many people will be waking up to. Not Salford but the sunshine!

:19:14. > :19:19.There will be a few waking up to Salford! Let's see who will be

:19:20. > :19:24.experiencing sunshine today with Helen. Good morning. That is a

:19:25. > :19:29.beautiful picture looking over Salford Quays. And this is lovely as

:19:30. > :19:34.well. I took a particular shine to those poppies. Not great news if you

:19:35. > :19:37.suffer from hay fever, just showing you the flowers. Pollen levels will

:19:38. > :19:42.be very high again today for many parts of the UK, away from the

:19:43. > :19:48.cloudy North West. This is fairly held, taken half an hour ago as

:19:49. > :19:54.well. Plenty of sunshine across the board. The sunshine as strong as it

:19:55. > :20:03.gets across the UK. You don't see is that Tyler. -- you don't see such

:20:04. > :20:06.high levels very often. And in the far North West, the Highlands, we

:20:07. > :20:10.have cloud and patchy rain coming and going through the day, tending

:20:11. > :20:15.to go away from Shetland and Orkney later. Things will brighten up

:20:16. > :20:21.there. But in the cooler and things just 13 or 14 but eastern parts of

:20:22. > :20:27.Scotland might see 2526 again, as we will see across the eastern part of

:20:28. > :20:34.Northern Ireland. Not to wash today but rather cloudy as opposed to

:20:35. > :20:39.sunny and bright. -- not a wash-out today. And there is an outside

:20:40. > :20:42.chance of a thunderstorm brewing up because of the heat. That is no

:20:43. > :20:47.surprise when we are talking about temperatures getting into the low

:20:48. > :20:52.30s. We are likely to break the 30 degrees of yesterday. 32 would make

:20:53. > :20:56.it the hottest day of the year so far. It is not just in southern and

:20:57. > :20:59.eastern areas. Overnight this were the front is still with us and it is

:21:00. > :21:05.slowly starting to make its way to the south. -- this weather front.

:21:06. > :21:09.Uncomfortable because of the high humidity, but it will be rising

:21:10. > :21:15.elsewhere as well. If you vowed last night uncomfortable, unfortunately

:21:16. > :21:20.repeats tonight. That weather front is slipping south tomorrow and on

:21:21. > :21:23.Tuesday so it gets cloudy and cooler across Scotland and Northern Ireland

:21:24. > :21:27.and eventually northern England but the heat stays with us further

:21:28. > :21:31.south, is taking longer to break down in southern areas, possibly

:21:32. > :21:35.midweek. Or even longer. The heat can rise again in the south. If you

:21:36. > :21:39.find it uncomfortable, the coast will be a relief with refreshing sea

:21:40. > :21:44.breezes but the sunshine is just as strong even though it feels fresher.

:21:45. > :21:46.As I found out to my costa North Wales yesterday! It feels fresh on

:21:47. > :21:58.the beach but it burns you! 70 years ago the Waverley,

:21:59. > :22:00.a sea-going paddle steamer, Now she's retracing the route

:22:01. > :22:04.of her maiden voyage. Our reporter Sally McNair joined

:22:05. > :22:06.some of the ship's original passengers for the cruise down

:22:07. > :22:19.the Clyde and a trip Cake, a piper and friends. A great

:22:20. > :22:23.way to start the celebration. There are people who were on the maiden

:22:24. > :22:29.voyage. It is very emotional because to me the Waverley makes me think of

:22:30. > :22:32.my parents. I was ten when they took me on the Waverley 1947 and she was

:22:33. > :22:37.brand-new and she is just looking like she did then. Some newcomers to

:22:38. > :22:41.the Waverley's chance. My husband and I have been planning to come on

:22:42. > :22:45.the Waverley for a few years and we just happened to be here on the

:22:46. > :22:49.anniversary. We thought it was a great opportunity to come on-board.

:22:50. > :22:55.And enthusiast whose fundraising helps to keep her afloat. A final

:22:56. > :22:59.hat to match the final! They sell in the shop downstairs. In her earlier

:23:00. > :23:08.days, she and her sister ships took families to the resorts along the

:23:09. > :23:12.Clyde. Happy days and holidays. But in the mid 70s, no longer viable,

:23:13. > :23:25.she was bought by the paddle steamer preservation society for a princely

:23:26. > :23:29.sum. I handed over ?1 note to the people who had decided we would be

:23:30. > :23:32.the best people to buy the paddle steamer. It was a huge surprise at

:23:33. > :23:35.the time and we hadn't a clue what to do with the ship. She was

:23:36. > :23:39.restored to her original condition and returned to business but on the

:23:40. > :23:43.bridge she is not always the easiest vessel to handle. The challenges are

:23:44. > :23:48.wide and varied. One of the biggest difficulties I have is manoeuvring

:23:49. > :23:51.the ship. She was originally ill to navigate the wooden structures on

:23:52. > :23:55.the Clyde but they have fallen into disrepair and we can't call there

:23:56. > :23:59.now. Some of the harbour as we go to a challenging and tight and the ship

:24:00. > :24:04.does not handle as well as a modern shipboard. The Waverley sales on for

:24:05. > :24:12.the rest of today's trip and into her eighth decade. Sally McNair, on

:24:13. > :24:15.the Firth of Clyde. Spectacular. 8:24am.

:24:16. > :24:17.You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:24:18. > :24:19.Time now for a look at the newspapers.

:24:20. > :24:25.The poet Ian McMillan is here to tell us what's caught his eye.

:24:26. > :24:31.Good morning. Speaking of spectacular vessels! I am a vessel

:24:32. > :24:36.sailing steadily across the news. And what have you picked out? There

:24:37. > :24:40.is a fantastic story in the Mail on Sunday about this fellow who was one

:24:41. > :24:45.of the first firefighters to go into Grenfell Tower and what an amazing

:24:46. > :24:51.thing. No matter what your training is, your instinct would be to run

:24:52. > :24:54.away. Mine would be. And yet these people run into disasters. Not only

:24:55. > :24:58.firefighters, police operatives, but human beings just walking down the

:24:59. > :25:02.street, members of the public. They will run and help and you always

:25:03. > :25:05.wonder what you would do in that situation. In your head you think

:25:06. > :25:10.you might run and help it in your heart you know you might run away.

:25:11. > :25:16.It is an amazing story of somebody who ran in to help. It is one of

:25:17. > :25:21.those things that gives us hope with this story. In the end, people will

:25:22. > :25:27.always want to try and help, whether professionally or not. The London

:25:28. > :25:31.Bridge incident. They always say about the emergency services, they

:25:32. > :25:36.run towards danger rather than away. Amazing. One of the interesting

:25:37. > :25:40.stories and we have heard from so many people in the emergency

:25:41. > :25:44.services about how they made choices about who to save in that fire, the

:25:45. > :25:49.families and the agonising choices and the memories they will be left

:25:50. > :25:55.with. At the moment of thinking do I save this person or that? Terrible.

:25:56. > :26:00.On a lighter note, lipstick can help you to shine in exams according to

:26:01. > :26:07.the report in the Mail on Sunday. I was terrible at exams. I kept

:26:08. > :26:11.failing my A-levels. If only I had worn lipstick! Gives you confidence.

:26:12. > :26:17.It doesn't make you clever but it makes you feel clever. It was hay

:26:18. > :26:21.fever time and I was struggling, sneezing, and the girls near me warn

:26:22. > :26:24.lipstick and got better grades than me. What is the actual thinking

:26:25. > :26:29.behind this? There is no thinking behind it. It is simply a daft

:26:30. > :26:32.story. But wearing lipstick gives you confidence to write down what

:26:33. > :26:36.might be the wrong answer but to write it down with style which has

:26:37. > :26:39.always been my thing. The sentence you used to describe that story was

:26:40. > :26:46.very accurate. You would have got ten out of ten from me. Now the

:26:47. > :26:54.famous five rebooted by tech savvy children. Fantastic. The fantastic

:26:55. > :27:02.four. The fantastic four were not in at Brighton. That is modern. The

:27:03. > :27:07.secret seven, yes. A dog called Timmy and a girl called George. She

:27:08. > :27:14.was very good. But my favourite was Julian, the kind of leader of men.

:27:15. > :27:19.He took them to uncle Quentin's Island. He had an island but my

:27:20. > :27:22.uncle Jack had shared and now it has been rebooted for to first and it.

:27:23. > :27:26.Children are being asked to devise an app for the famous five which

:27:27. > :27:31.makes me very happy. Hopefully my grandchildren will not cure when I

:27:32. > :27:35.get out by famous five books and I prepare -- will not yawn when I get

:27:36. > :27:41.out my books and pretend we are going to uncle Quentin's island.

:27:42. > :27:46.People say that kids should be like the famous five, out having an

:27:47. > :27:50.adventure, not in front of a screen. If you read about the famous five

:27:51. > :27:56.going to summon's island vicariously, then you are not going

:27:57. > :28:00.to the island but it might make you want to go. That is my feeling.

:28:01. > :28:06.Thank you. Have a safe journey back to Barnsley. Still to come:

:28:07. > :28:14.September and the sunshine still shining.

:28:15. > :28:17.in Shropshire, it's bloomed into one of the BBC's most iconic programmes.

:28:18. > :28:20.We'll be looking back on 50 years of Gardeners' World.

:28:21. > :29:36.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Roger Johnson and Naga Munchetty.

:29:37. > :29:46.But first, a summary of this morning's main news.

:29:47. > :29:48.Church services will be held today to remember the victims

:29:49. > :29:50.of the Grenfell Tower fire in West London.

:29:51. > :29:52.Police have revealed that 58 people are missing

:29:53. > :29:55.and are believed to have died, but that figure could still rise.

:29:56. > :29:56.Yesterday, Theresa May met with volunteers

:29:57. > :30:01.The Prime Minister admitted that the Government's response,

:30:02. > :30:06.in the hours following the disaster had not been good enough.

:30:07. > :30:13.Short while ago we spoke to the Bishop of Kensington who visited

:30:14. > :30:18.Downing Street. They talked about the deep anger there is in this

:30:19. > :30:24.community, about the fire itself, what led to it and the aftermath as

:30:25. > :30:27.well. They spoke very much about the need for listening, listening to

:30:28. > :30:31.people. There is a deep sense here that people here do not feel

:30:32. > :30:35.listened to by those making decisions about their lives. We

:30:36. > :30:39.talked about the need for real action and that we need to see

:30:40. > :30:44.action sooner rather than later. We had a real sense the Prime Minister

:30:45. > :30:45.was listening to what the group had to say so that was the atmosphere

:30:46. > :30:50.that was there. A report by the think-tank,

:30:51. > :30:52.the Resolution Foundation, claims that Britain's wealth

:30:53. > :30:54.inequality is growing. It suggests that a fall

:30:55. > :30:56.in the number of people who own their own home has resulted

:30:57. > :30:59.in a widening gap The Government says income

:31:00. > :31:03.inequality is now at its lowest The Government says it intends

:31:04. > :31:08.to double the length of the new Parliamentary session

:31:09. > :31:13.to two years to give MPs the maximum possible time

:31:14. > :31:15.to scrutinise Brexit legislation. The unusual move will mean next

:31:16. > :31:18.year's Queen's Speech The Government says the decision

:31:19. > :31:22.was part of measures to build the broadest possible

:31:23. > :31:26.consensus for Brexit. At least 39 people have

:31:27. > :31:28.died in a forest fire A number of the victims died

:31:29. > :31:35.in their vehicles as they tried to escape but became

:31:36. > :31:37.trapped by flames. Portugal has been experiencing

:31:38. > :31:39.a heatwave, with temperatures exceeding 40 Celsius

:31:40. > :31:43.in several regions. Seven sailors, missing after a US

:31:44. > :31:46.warship collided with a container ship off the coast of Japan,

:31:47. > :31:50.have been found dead. Their bodies were discovered

:31:51. > :31:54.by divers in flooded cabins. The ship's commander and another

:31:55. > :31:55.sailor have been airlifted French voters go to the polls

:31:56. > :32:02.today for the second round of the country's parliamentary

:33:41. > :33:46.our microphones in his face, how are you going to feel? How are you going

:33:47. > :33:52.to stay calm? He is quite chilled. All of us want to know what it feels

:34:16. > :34:18.England's Tommy Fleetwood remains firmly in contention at the top

:34:19. > :34:20.of the leaderboard. He sits just one shot behind

:34:21. > :34:22.the overall leader, Brian Harman, going into the final

:34:53. > :34:54.is a tournament record and was enough to put him

:34:55. > :34:58.for the moment ahead of the rest. While he flourished,

:34:59. > :34:59.others floundered. England's Paul Casey's hopes

:35:00. > :35:01.of staying in contention lost They call day three moving day -

:35:02. > :35:11.there was now plenty of that on the leaderboard and with shots

:35:12. > :35:14.like this, the American Brian Harman Fleetwood remains in the crowd,

:35:15. > :35:21.just one stroke behind, plenty still to smile about,

:36:24. > :36:27.before producing a brilliant off load to send Piers Francis over

:36:28. > :36:31.for a great try before half time. England went on to win 35-25,

:36:32. > :36:41.but Eddie Jones's squad was missing 30 of their best players, he said,

:36:42. > :36:44.largely due to the Lions tour. Today we found a way to win,

:36:45. > :36:51.we were outgunned in the first half, second half, we came back

:36:52. > :36:53.in the forwards, particularly, and scrums and our maul defence

:36:54. > :36:56.improved and that got us back in the game and then our ability

:36:57. > :36:59.to score off their mistakes England batsman Jason Roy made

:37:00. > :37:03.a welcome return to form as Surrey reached their third

:37:28. > :37:29.on TV, everyone's hoping I don't see any relevance

:37:30. > :37:35.of the first game here because you can never tell how

:37:36. > :37:38.the particular team Some teams start very

:37:39. > :37:46.confidently and they fade off, some teams may not have the best

:37:47. > :37:49.starts and they come back amazingly, Everyone is aware of the kind

:37:50. > :38:01.of talent they have in their team. I said before the Edgbaston game,

:38:02. > :38:03.I thought they were really calm, but they're very

:38:04. > :38:05.excited right now and there's a hell of a good vibe

:38:06. > :38:13.in that dressing room. So let's hope we can put

:38:14. > :38:16.together our A game tomorrow because if we can, I said it

:38:17. > :38:20.before the England game, if we put our A game together

:38:21. > :38:23.and we do the basics well, Johanna Konta could become the first

:38:54. > :38:56.fightback yesterday to win 27-26. Four converted tries,

:38:57. > :38:59.including this from John Bateman, and a drop goal had put Wigan clear

:39:00. > :39:02.going into the final stages. But Warrington could

:39:03. > :39:07.have forced extra time with the last kick of the game,

:39:37. > :39:38.in the other pool. A 3-0 defeat to the Netherlands

:39:39. > :39:48.means they've lost both a busy afternoon of sport. I know it

:39:49. > :39:54.is sunny and people will be outside, but why not watch the cricket?

:39:55. > :39:58.Nottingham Open. And then the golf this evening until the early hours

:39:59. > :40:03.of the morning. I have a better plan. Play golf,

:40:04. > :40:08.record everything off and watch it later and then watch the golf

:40:09. > :40:12.throughout the night. You are lucky you are not working tomorrow! What

:40:13. > :40:23.is interesting about the sports written is? All of it! -- the sports

:40:24. > :40:28.bulletins. Not a single mention of football. England under 21s playing

:40:29. > :40:34.in the year rose, women's euros... Don't spoil it by mentioning it! It

:40:35. > :40:37.is good football, not that day-to-day drudgery. Lots to look

:40:38. > :40:45.forward to. Thank you. When warrant officer Kim Hughes

:40:46. > :40:48.risked his own life in Afghanistan to manually disarm seven bombs

:40:49. > :40:50.without wearing protective clothing, he saved the lives

:40:51. > :40:52.of eight of his colleagues. He was awarded the George Cross

:40:53. > :40:55.for what the Ministry of Defence described as "the single most

:40:56. > :40:57.outstanding act of explosive ordnance disposal ever

:40:58. > :41:01.recorded in Afghanistan." Kim has now written a book

:41:02. > :41:04.to explain what he calls the human He spoke to Charlie

:41:05. > :41:18.and I about his experiences. When you first do it, it is a very

:41:19. > :41:24.surreal moment. To be faced with something that could kill you in an

:41:25. > :41:31.instant, it drives it home. The ability for us to go and do that is

:41:32. > :41:36.great and the feeling we get when we achieve that is phenomenal, but we

:41:37. > :41:40.are trained to such a high standard within the British Armed Forces to

:41:41. > :41:45.be able to look at that device and get on with it. We saw an image a

:41:46. > :41:50.second ago of you lying there, doing the job you are trained, as you say,

:41:51. > :41:53.highly trained to do, but nonetheless, is there still a

:41:54. > :42:00.thought process about the danger you are in? There is. But we look at

:42:01. > :42:03.everything around that scenario when it comes to the device you're

:42:04. > :42:07.dealing with, not just focused on exactly what we are doing in front

:42:08. > :42:14.of us, looking at the environment we are working in, what the signs are,

:42:15. > :42:19.the local population in and around the area, we formulate a threat

:42:20. > :42:24.assessment. We are aware of everything to do with that device

:42:25. > :42:28.and everything in and around it. In theory, by the time we get down

:42:29. > :42:32.there and physically on the belt buckle, we know what we are dealing

:42:33. > :42:37.with. In your book, you have written about your journey, how you joined

:42:38. > :42:42.the Army. Many will relate to it and what the Army did for you in terms

:42:43. > :42:46.of transforming your personality and your responsibilities. Explain to us

:42:47. > :42:51.how you have gone from a young kid, in your words, a chubby young kid,

:42:52. > :42:55.bullied, not very confident at school, to someone who went to the

:42:56. > :43:01.top of their game and responsible for dozens of lives. I think

:43:02. > :43:07.certainly early on, in my younger years as a child, I wanted an

:43:08. > :43:10.escape. I was brought up on a council estate in Telford, in

:43:11. > :43:16.Shropshire, and I wanted to get away from that. I did not want to fall

:43:17. > :43:23.into the bad crowds. The Army was my out. It was my escape. The Armed

:43:24. > :43:26.Forces, the Army, it has given me everything to make me the person I

:43:27. > :43:33.am today. Don't get me wrong, everything I am today is also from

:43:34. > :43:39.my past, having a tough childhood, to where I am now, everything in

:43:40. > :43:42.between has made me who I am. With that group responsibility which you

:43:43. > :43:50.can take very seriously and be very mindful of, you also speak about a

:43:51. > :43:55.God complex where you almost fall down on yourself a little bit, is

:43:56. > :43:59.that fair? Absolutely. There is a fine line between being confident

:44:00. > :44:03.and arrogant and I have crossed that line on many occasions. I am the

:44:04. > :44:08.first to admit that. We went out on tour in Afghanistan and I think my

:44:09. > :44:15.drive to want the next device, the next bomb, to be the best, to have

:44:16. > :44:20.the biggest bomb count, I fell foul of that and I was brought back down

:44:21. > :44:25.a peg or two by one of my closest friends there and a number of

:44:26. > :44:29.instances where I was injured, not badly, but enough to make me think

:44:30. > :44:34.to myself, you need to behave now, you need to stop... And not put

:44:35. > :44:39.other lives in danger as well. Absolutely. If you go one step too

:44:40. > :44:44.far, wanting the next one, not listening to people closest to you,

:44:45. > :44:48.not only are you putting yourself at risk but other people too. You have

:44:49. > :44:53.been given the highest award for your bravery. You describe it as an

:44:54. > :44:58.adrenaline rush. But the other side, documented in the book, the real

:44:59. > :45:06.trauma that you saw first-hand of seeing friends and colleagues died

:45:07. > :45:11.in the course of what is such a dangerous job. You are still

:45:12. > :45:17.operational. How do you reflect on the darkest of times? I think the

:45:18. > :45:20.way is certainly within bomb disposal, our trade group,

:45:21. > :45:26.ammunition technicians, we use humour to get past a lot of things.

:45:27. > :45:31.I use that when I was away on tour. Every one of the operators, every

:45:32. > :45:35.one of the Royal Engineers, they have had dark moments. I have had a

:45:36. > :45:39.number of them, my colleagues have. The way I got past it was with

:45:40. > :45:45.humour and I locked it away in a box, that is probably not healthy.

:45:46. > :45:53.People hear you say that, they will say, that box will reopen sometime.

:45:54. > :46:00.Are you OK, I suppose? I feel fine. That is not to say in five, ten, 15

:46:01. > :46:05.years, I will not be. PTSD is a massive thing at the moment. I

:46:06. > :46:08.massively support it. Close friends of mine have been affected.

:46:09. > :46:13.Personally, I do not feel I am affected, but I do not know. I might

:46:14. > :46:17.be, I might be in the future. My form of dealing with the pressures

:46:18. > :46:21.and the dark moments and colleagues of mine, it is purely humour and

:46:22. > :46:25.getting past it. At the end of your book, you leave us with you going

:46:26. > :46:33.into training, having finished your tour. You are now active again. Is

:46:34. > :46:37.that the correct term? Yes. Working with bomb disposal units around the

:46:38. > :46:40.country. We are very mindful of what happened in Manchester. Is that

:46:41. > :46:45.something your team would be involved in? I am part of the Royal

:46:46. > :46:51.Logistics Corps and the regiment itself covers anything from

:46:52. > :46:58.conventional ammunition is found across the UK, up to improvised

:46:59. > :47:01.explosive device is. Yes, the regiment responded to Manchester and

:47:02. > :47:09.they respond every day on the ground doing some form of task, whether it

:47:10. > :47:14.be an improvised explosive device or conventional munition found, a

:47:15. > :47:17.grenade or something dug up, the guys are extremely busy. Thank you

:47:18. > :47:23.for coming in. The book is an extraordinary read. A real learning

:47:24. > :47:25.curve for those of us looking in from the outside. Thank you.

:47:26. > :47:28.Very charming man, very humble, considering what he does. Hugely

:47:47. > :48:00.from the Resolution Foundation. Almost but not everywhere in the UK,

:48:01. > :48:02.we have been enjoying glorious weather.

:48:03. > :48:13.Yesterday was officially the hottest day of the year -

:48:14. > :48:16.It's expected to be even hotter today, with highs

:48:17. > :48:20.Helen will bring us more details shortly, but first here are some

:48:21. > :49:39.Glorious weather. It does make you feel good. Looking outside the

:49:40. > :49:43.window in Salford Quays, glorious blue skies, not always the case, but

:49:44. > :49:51.it is fantastic today. We will enjoy that. We will say goodbye now. I am

:49:52. > :49:59.going to do the news for Andrew Marr. Father's day! I got a bag of

:50:00. > :50:05.wine gums. I thought you were going to say a bag of wine. I would have

:50:06. > :50:10.been worried! The morning's weather, it is hot!

:50:11. > :50:15.It is not even the hottest part of the day yet. I am just putting this

:50:16. > :50:20.up, the bearer of doom and gloom, bear in mind, very strong sunshine

:50:21. > :50:25.and around the coast, it feels fresh, but the sun is just as strong

:50:26. > :50:31.and it is not for all, cloud in the north and west. Father's Day, it is

:50:32. > :50:36.for most a really lovely day. This is Chesterfield in Derbyshire, the

:50:37. > :50:39.poppies are beautiful. However, very high levels of pollen affecting many

:50:40. > :50:43.parts of the country as well as the very strong sunshine. I view of the

:50:44. > :50:51.Brecon Beacons. The satellite picture to show you it is not all

:50:52. > :50:54.enjoying the sunshine, parts of the Highlands and Western Islands,

:50:55. > :50:57.cloud. It will come and go, but there will be patchy rain and a

:50:58. > :51:02.stiff south-westerly breeze. Eastern parts of Scotland and Northern

:51:03. > :51:09.Ireland, really good spells of sunshine and it will be hot too. 26

:51:10. > :51:14.in Edinburgh yesterday. We could see that again today. There is a little

:51:15. > :51:18.bit of sea fog around. It is cooler because of the refreshing sea

:51:19. > :51:21.breezes. The difference in temperature between the coast and

:51:22. > :51:26.inland. We are thinking somewhere could get 32 degrees. The small

:51:27. > :51:31.chance of a thunderstorm later today. In East Anglia and the

:51:32. > :51:37.south-east. More chance if you're watching the golf in Wisconsin.

:51:38. > :51:41.Quite a lot of showers here. Any storms here will be few and far

:51:42. > :51:46.between. The main difference overnight is the weather front

:51:47. > :51:50.toppling further south, but in the south, uncomfortable for sleeping

:51:51. > :51:56.and the humidity will spread further north. We are starting to see things

:51:57. > :52:01.cool down a little bit in the north tomorrow. More cloud on Monday and

:52:02. > :52:06.Tuesday. By Tuesday, starting to taper off. It will take into the

:52:07. > :52:15.middle part and perhaps latter part to clear. Plenty going on. We will

:52:16. > :52:18.keep you updated. Enjoy the stands-- enjoy the sunshine, stay safe.

:52:19. > :52:25.You enjoy your day as well. With humble beginnings

:52:26. > :52:27.in a Shropshire garden, it has bloomed into one of the BBC's

:52:28. > :52:30.most iconic programmes. As Gardeners' World turns 50,

:52:31. > :52:33.Kay Alexander has been digging through the decades to investigate

:52:34. > :52:36.how a show rooted in plants and personalities has experienced

:52:37. > :52:41.such enduring success. 50 years ago, the advent of colour

:52:42. > :52:44.television enabled the BBC to make a new horticultural programme

:52:45. > :52:53.and Gardeners' World was born. It was presented by the legendary

:52:54. > :52:56.Percy Thrower from his garden In my family, everything stopped

:52:57. > :53:08.dead for Gardeners' World. My mother was a keen gardener

:53:09. > :53:11.and so was this little girl. I am still a big fan

:53:12. > :53:13.of the programme. Peter was one of the presenters

:53:14. > :53:17.in the 1970s and is still a big Percy was God and everybody watched

:53:18. > :53:32.every Friday without question. And if he showed a plant

:53:33. > :53:36.on his programme, then by 10am the next day, they would be sold

:53:37. > :53:39.out across the country. In 50 years, there are a number

:53:40. > :53:45.of personalities who have made their name on Gardeners' World,

:53:46. > :53:47.including Geoff Hamilton whose garden was one of the eight gardens

:53:48. > :53:50.used over the years. After he died in 1996,

:53:51. > :53:52.Alan Titchmarsh became If this does not make

:53:53. > :53:54.you drool, nothing will. I think I am proud of having had

:53:55. > :53:58.a hand in Gardeners' World and having been a part

:53:59. > :54:02.of its history. My mission in life is to impress

:54:03. > :54:05.upon people the pleasure to be gained from growing things

:54:06. > :54:07.and the importance of keeping It is the sharp end of looking

:54:08. > :54:17.after the planet, gardening. Since the programme debuted in 1967,

:54:18. > :54:20.it has gone through all sorts Is there a magic ingredient that

:54:21. > :54:32.keeps it fresh and exciting? One of the magical things

:54:33. > :54:35.about Gardeners' World is the fact you can join the head gardener

:54:36. > :54:37.in their garden every Friday. It is a value of looking over

:54:38. > :54:44.the garden gate to see what they are doing,

:54:45. > :54:48.but at the same time, it is about plants,

:54:49. > :54:52.passionate plant people and the places in which those plants

:54:53. > :54:55.grow. Lumbering outside broadcast vehicles

:54:56. > :54:57.of the past have been replaced But what about the future

:54:58. > :55:00.of the programme? Every gardener knows that

:55:01. > :55:02.every season is different and new and exciting and if you can

:55:03. > :55:05.just capture the excitement, you will not have to

:55:06. > :55:07.worry about the future. So happy golden birthday,

:55:08. > :55:25.Gardeners' World. We have been asking for your

:55:26. > :55:31.pictures of summer blooms. Let us show you some wonderful pictures. A

:55:32. > :55:35.great year for their roses, it certainly has. John sent in a photo

:55:36. > :55:42.of this beautiful pink bowl of beauty variety of peonies. Lovely

:55:43. > :55:50.bright summer colours in this garden in Seaford. And these hanging

:55:51. > :55:58.baskets, they are quite a spectacle, those are Helen's. And in Exeter,

:55:59. > :56:03.this photo of a particularly colourful garden. Wonderful. Thank

:56:04. > :56:06.you. Now let us talk about inventions.

:56:07. > :56:08.Now, where do you think the running shoe was invented?

:56:09. > :56:10.You'd be forgiven for thinking America or Jamaica.

:56:11. > :56:13.But it was actually the brainchild of Bolton born, Joe Foster.

:56:14. > :56:15.It's facts like this that Historic England says

:56:16. > :56:18.Celia Richardson from the organisation joins us now,

:56:19. > :56:19.along with social historian, Charlotte Wildman.

:56:20. > :56:28.Good morning to you both. Why do you think now is the time to make sure

:56:29. > :56:32.we know these things? We live in uncertain times and our sense of

:56:33. > :56:37.national identity and pride is really important. What we are doing

:56:38. > :56:41.is we have got ten judges, category judges, and they will help us, we

:56:42. > :56:46.are seeking public nominations to find the 100 places in England that

:56:47. > :56:50.told a national story. There is so much going on. We have layer on

:56:51. > :56:56.layer of history and we are looking for the best bits. Which areas have

:56:57. > :57:02.been a more -- which areas have been ignored the most? This is a very old

:57:03. > :57:06.country and a small country so lots has happened here, the splitting of

:57:07. > :57:12.the atom, the uncovering of DNA, the industrial revolution started here,

:57:13. > :57:16.we have a lot to choose from. A lot of science places where amazing

:57:17. > :57:20.things have happened, the atom being split in Manchester, not a lot of

:57:21. > :57:24.people know about it. We are saying, this extraordinary thing happened

:57:25. > :57:29.here. We need the public's help. We are not just looking for the obvious

:57:30. > :57:33.stuff, we want the unusual stories as well. We are finding out

:57:34. > :57:39.fascinating stuff. The reason I asked about which areas perhaps have

:57:40. > :57:44.been more forgotten is because there is a real pride when you can claim

:57:45. > :57:48.something for your own as a community. Absolutely. Knowing

:57:49. > :57:54.stories behind inventions and landmarks, it gives particularly

:57:55. > :58:01.smaller towns and a sense of their uniqueness. I love hearing from

:58:02. > :58:08.people about what is special about their city. I am from Birkenhead.

:58:09. > :58:13.Everyone who knows me is fed up of hearing about how Birkenhead Park

:58:14. > :58:18.was the inspiration for Central Park in New York. That is a good one! It

:58:19. > :58:26.is fascinating to see how passionate people are about their towns' claims

:58:27. > :58:33.to uniqueness. This is about whether Cornish pasties come from Cornwall

:58:34. > :58:41.or Devon. Does it matter? I would not like to delve into... I think it

:58:42. > :58:45.does matter. We are living in uncertain times. Towns, cities, they

:58:46. > :58:51.used to have identity built around trade, jobs. So much change over the

:58:52. > :58:55.past century. That is no longer the case. It is important to have these

:58:56. > :59:00.accolades. Thank you very much for talking to us. That is it. Dan and

:59:01. > :59:02.Louise will be with you tomorrow. Enjoy the sunshine. Put on suntan

:59:03. > :59:07.lotion though. Take care. What makes you two different

:59:08. > :59:11.from each other?
