Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Naga | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Giving EU citizens the right to stay in the UK after Brexit. | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
The Prime Minister says around three million people could get | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
She unveiled the plan at her first summit since the general election, | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
but the Labour Party says it's "too little, | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
It's a year since the UK voted to leave the EU. | :00:25. | :00:39. | |
A lot has happened since then, so do those who voted | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
I'm speaking to both sides in south-west London. | :00:43. | :00:55. | |
Good morning, it's Friday the 23rd of June. | :00:56. | :01:04. | |
Also this morning: As hundreds of tower blocks are tested | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
after the Grenfell Fire, combustible cladding is found on 11 | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
A Premier Inn says it's extremely concerned about three of its hotels. | :01:10. | :01:20. | |
There is still sniper fire going on. Welcome to Raqqa, the capital of a | :01:21. | :01:27. | |
caliphate under siege. Inside a city engulfed in violence: | :01:28. | :01:28. | |
As so-called Islamic State struggles to hold on to Raqqa, | :01:29. | :01:31. | |

Farm as the Glastonbury Festival gets under way with heightened | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
security. What will the weather be like? The good news is there will be | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
a lot of dry weather through the next three days, but there will be a | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
bit of rain and that sums up the forecast as we go into the weekend. | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
All the details in the next 15 minutes. | :02:14. | :02:13. | |
Around three million EU nationals living in the UK will be allowed | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
to stay after Brexit, under proposals outlined | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
Speaking at a summit in Brussels, Theresa May said that those who had | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
lived here for more than five years would be allowed continued access | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
to healthcare, education and other benefits. | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
Mrs May said the deal was dependent on EU states guaranteeing Britons | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
A year to the day since the UK voted to leave the EU, | :02:38. | :02:45. | |
European leaders are digesting the offer made | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
to them by Theresa May over dinner at this summit. | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
She said she wanted no families to split because of Brexit. | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
EU citizens with five years residence would have settled status, | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
meaning lifetime access to health, education, and benefits. | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
And there will be a grace period for newer | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
arrivals to build up enough time to qualify. | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
The EU's prime ministers and presidents made their own | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
proposal on this huge issue earlier this year. | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
This is the first time they've heard the British view | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
and they are waiting for the small print to be published in Parliament | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
TRANSLATION: Theresa May made it clear, today, | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
that EU citizens who have been in Great Britain for five years can | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
That's a good start, but of course there are many, | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
about finances, about the relationship with Ireland, | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
which means we still have a lot to do until October. | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
But Mrs May could be walking into a big row. | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
The EU wants a role for European judges. | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
They want more rights for families, she is not so sure. | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
And that's before a potential argument that could be even bigger: | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
How much money does the UK owe the EU? | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
11 residential high-rise buildings in England have been found to be | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
covered in combustible cladding, this after urgent safety tests | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
were carried out following the Grenfell Tower fire. | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
The buildings are spread across eight local authority areas, | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
including Camden in north London, where cladding is now being removed | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
More details from our correspondent Tom Burridge. | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
It took a tragedy to change fire safety in Britain. | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
It's so frustrating that we've been asking for the building regulations | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
to be reviewed every year, and nothing at all has | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
Already, in another London borough, they are stripping off cladding | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
The cladding here is similar to that used on Grenfell | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
Camden Council claims it was misled and was told the cladding | :04:49. | :04:55. | |
used on these buildings was a safer type. | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
The cladding will be a key part of the investigation into the fire | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
Like many other buildings, its outer skin was of an aluminium | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
The best cladding has a mineral core, which doesn't burn. | :05:07. | :05:14. | |
But the core at Grenfell was polyethylene and that | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
might have been a factor that caused the fire to spread. | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
The government says it is now testing 600 buildings, | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
but there are reviews under way on privately owned | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
Premier Inn has told the BBC that three of its hotels did not appear | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
to comply with government guidelines for tall buildings. | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
The company said it had received independent advice that the hotels | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
could stay open, given other fire safety measures. | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
But many other buildings, owned by others, elsewhere, | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
Yesterday, the Prime Minister booed again on a visit | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
The deadly fire at Grenfell Tower will change our | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
The political legacy is still unravelling. | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
A senior police officer has warned that forces in England and Wales | :06:00. | :06:07. | |
would face real challenges in dealing with large-scale | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
outbreaks of disorder, because of budget cuts. | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
The Chief Constable of West Midlands, Dave Thompson, | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
said neighbourhood street patrols would "disappear" | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
The Home Secretary Amber Rudd has acknowledged police resources | :06:16. | :06:27. | |
are very tight, but said she wouldn't rush | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
Virgin Media has told its 800,000 customers | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
to change their passwords to prevent their accounts being hacked. | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
An investigation by Which? found that hackers could breach | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
security on the Virgin's Super Hub 2 router. | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
The hackers were then able to control other smart appliances, | :06:45. | :06:46. | |
including a child's toy and home CCTV cameras. | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
Facebook has revealed new plans to tackle extremism by educating | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
charities and other organisations on how to counter hate speech. | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
The social media giant has launched the Online Civil Courage | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
Initiative, which it said would allow charities and other | :06:59. | :07:00. | |
non-profit organisations to share their experiences | :07:01. | :07:02. | |
of extremism and develop ways to tackle the issue both | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
The planned new nuclear power plant at Hinkley Point is both risky | :07:05. | :07:17. | |
and expensive, according to the National Audit Office. | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
The public spending watchdog says the government has not sufficiently | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
Here's our business reporter Rob Young. | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
It will be Britain's first new nuclear plant for a generation. | :07:31. | :07:38. | |
Hinkley Point C has been plagued by delays, but building work has | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
already started on the Somerset coast. It will produce 7% of | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
Britain's power, replacing older and dirtier plants which have gone | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
off-line. Hinkley has been given a guaranteed price for its | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
electricity, which could cost bill payers as much as ?30 billion. The | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
public spending watchdog is critical. What we found is that the | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
government has committed a very risky and expensive deal, with | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
uncertain economic benefits. The government's case for proceeding | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
with the deal last September wasn't clear cut and while it will be | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
several decades before it is known whether this deal is value for | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
money, what we've concluded is the government didn't do enough to | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
consider the costs and risks of the deal for consumers. The government | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
maintains nuclear should be part of a diverse energy mix. It points out | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
it provides clean and reliable electricity. The project's majority | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
shareholder EDF in this it's good value compared with alternatives and | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
says costs for future plans will be lower. Hinkley's construction and | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
operation is expected to create more than 26,000 jobs and | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
apprenticeships, boosting the local economy. But it's impact could be | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
national, with new nuclear plants to follow. | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
The 35th Glastonbury Festival gets officially under way today | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
with heightened security after recent terror attacks | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
135,000 music lovers are expected on site over | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
the weekend, with Radiohead the main headliners tonight. | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
Hollywood star Johnny Depp caused controversy last night | :09:11. | :09:12. | |
during a special appearance, when he made a joke about Donald | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
When was the last time an actor assassinated a president? I want to | :09:16. | :09:30. | |
clarify, I'm not an actor. I live for a living. -- lie. | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
He never shies away from controversy! | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
Wild chimpanzees in Uganda appear to have changed their hunting | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
strategy in response to being watched by scientists. | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
Yes, researchers from the University of St Andrews have been | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
They say their presence may have stopped the chimps | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
Their findings show how sensitive chimp society | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
Which kind of figures. Why would you enjoy being observed by humans? | :09:59. | :10:15. | |
If you were busy hunting a pig or a dear and suddenly someone started | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
watching you, it would scare the animals off! It affects the privacy | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
and secrecy of the quiet tracking. Someone rustling in the bushes... | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
You can kind of understand the change in behaviour! | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
Yes. It got me that story, interesting. | :10:33. | :10:39. | |
Good. I have got a mental image of a chimpanzee spearing... | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
Maybe they do, they are very clever. They use tools. | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
We are talking about the England Lions. Another exciting dawn perhaps | :10:46. | :10:58. | |
for English football. We've been there before, something happens to | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
the English players and as they develop they don't get enough | :11:03. | :11:04. | |
Premier League experience. Let's hope it is different this time. | :11:05. | :11:06. | |
It was a really dominant display from England's Under-21s, | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
set on their way by this amazing shot. | :11:14. | :11:22. | |
It finished 3-0 against the hosts, Poland, to make it through for | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
There was frustration for Britain's number one, | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
Johanna Konta, who was knocked out of the Aegon Classic in Birmingham, | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
beaten in straight sets in the second round by Co Co | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
It was a fantastic turnaround for England's men in the hockeym | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
-- hockey, as they beat Canada to qualify for the 2018 | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
They'll next face the Netherlands, in the semi-finals of World League | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
Big Orange won the big race on Ladies' Day at Ascot, | :11:49. | :11:58. | |
the Gold Cup, holding off last year's winner Order of St George | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
I shouldn't be amused by that, but I am. Just to clear up the chimpanzee | :12:02. | :12:17. | |
spear issue. A quick look on internet reveals that a troop of | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
chimpanzees in Senegal have been seen using spears. | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
The point is, it isn't routine. They were unusual. | :12:29. | :12:39. | |
They are clever. They are. Shall we do the weather before we | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
have a look at the newspapers? Good morning, Matt! Good morning. It | :12:45. | :12:53. | |
is the weekend of Glastonbury and the weather has to change a little | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
bit. A bit of rain on the cards for today. There will also be a lot of | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
dry weather around, especially at the top and tail of the country. | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
Some fresh conditions, even fresh air on the way for this weekend and | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
it comes behind this zone of cloud, pushing southwards from Scotland and | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
Northern Ireland. Still a lot of cloud to take us through the | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
morning. Not a huge amount of rain and the east of high ground we have | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
a of hazy sunshine. Brightening up quickly in the north and west. Heavy | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
bursts of rain through the next few hours, west of the Pennines and into | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
parts of north and west Wales. Heavy rain on the hills. Clearing in the | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
Isle of Man over the next hour or two. South of that, only the | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
isolated chance of a shower in the Midlands. Much of southern England | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
is dry. Some sunshine to greet the day. Feeling fresher than of late, | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
but still a warm enough start. The breeze picks up and we see some of | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
the rain in northern England clear through. We continue to see that | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
across western parts of Wales. The odd splash of rain into the | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
north-east of England. Scotland and Northern Ireland brightening up. | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
Watch of northern England stays cloudy. Southern areas, a bit of | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
sunshine. Still temperatures about 23- 24 in the south-east. Back to | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
where we should be, in the high teens, for most. Glastonbury could | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
get 21 today, with sunny spells, but there will be patchy rain around | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
tonight and tomorrow. That's the only wet weather to come to | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
Glastonbury. It comes courtesy of the cloud. Nudging further | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
southwards. Patching rain and drizzle. Much of the south-east | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
stays dry and it will be a mild night, with temperatures in the | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
midteens. The north is much fresher. Scotland and Northern Ireland. In | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
India as well. Low pressure to the north of Scotland brings | :14:44. | :14:45. | |
unseasonably strong winds. -- windier. Maybe severe gales into the | :14:46. | :14:53. | |
Hebrides. Some rain into north Wales and parts of northern England, | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
although brightening up. We will have early patchy rain in the south | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
and then one or two showers later. We will have a bit of dry weather at | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
times and a bit of sunshine, but temperatures starting to go down bit | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
by bit, especially where we have the breeze. Remain strong to the | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
north-east. A lot of you will have a dry day on Sunday. The best of the | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
brightness to these of high ground. A couple of showers. Even in | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
Northern Ireland only a few spots of rain. This weekend it gets fresher | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
and breezy and there will be a bit of rain, but a lot of dry weather | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
too. A lot of people will be breathing a | :15:33. | :15:40. | |
sigh of relief and I think they will be sleeping a little better. Thank | :15:41. | :15:41. | |
you very much. You're watching | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
Breakfast from BBC News. The main stories this morning: | :15:46. | :15:47. | |
The German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, has welcomed | :15:48. | :15:49. | |
Theresa May's offer to let other EU citizens stay on in | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
the UK after Brexit. It's emerged 11 high rise blocks | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
in England have the same combustible The Premier Inn is extremely | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
concerned about three of its hotels. Let's take a look at | :16:02. | :16:13. | |
this morning's papers. Many of the papers divided between | :16:14. | :16:24. | |
the beaches emerging last night from the meeting, there is Angela Merkel | :16:25. | :16:32. | |
and Theresa May. And the pledge, we will ask questions about what it | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
means for the 3 million EU citizens who can stay in Britain and the | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
terms and conditions around the offer later on. And the story we | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
will talk about this morning as well, thousands of residents to be | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
evacuated from the potentially dangerous tower blocks, 11 of them | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
now, local authority buildings anyway that have been deemed to have | :16:54. | :17:00. | |
dangerous cladding. The Daily Mail looking at the announcements, | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
migrants can stay in the UK, only if Britons in Europe are protected and | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
debate over the cut-off date for the residency rights. Front of the Daily | :17:09. | :17:15. | |
Telegraph, that story is dominating. 3 million EU migrants, and that is | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
Naga knocking things off the table. The other important story of course | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
about concerns over the tower blocks. The tests are going on as we | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
speak. We are finding out more about those tower blocks affected. The | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
Daily Mirror looking at thousands more living in tower deathtraps with | :17:36. | :17:42. | |
fears 600 buildings have the little and Falcao Adele style cladding. | :17:43. | :17:49. | |
This caught my eye. -- Grenfell style cladding. They were told they | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
were not allowed to wear shorts when the weather was really hot. They | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
were annoyed, because girls can wear skirts and be cooler, so they turned | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
up in skirts at this academy in Exeter yesterday. They were sent | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
home after. One boy said he enjoyed the nice breeze his skirt had | :18:09. | :18:14. | |
afforded him. It makes sense. If you do it en masse it is hard to punish | :18:15. | :18:21. | |
them. It is a fair point well made. Talking of points made, it isn't | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
often that the FA listen to Joey Barton. He was banned for 18 months | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
for 1200 bets he placed on football. He said you cannot punish me when | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
you are in bed with betting companies because the FA had | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
lucrative deals with betting companies. Now they have entered a | :18:40. | :18:47. | |
deal with Ladbrokes and they are ending financial associations with | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
bookmakers. It seems Joey Barton's advice has been heeded. Bookmakers | :18:51. | :19:00. | |
are closely involved. And very exciting, the start of the women's | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
Cricket World Cup, hosted here in England, England start against India | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
tomorrow in Derby. If you are looking for players to watch, Nat is | :19:11. | :19:18. | |
a fantastic player. Australia are the favourites. England have won the | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
World Cup both times before it has been held in their own backyard. Is | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
it the official technology? Is that batsmen? Opening batter. It sounds | :19:28. | :19:40. | |
odd, doesn't it? This is a cartoon in the Daily Telegraph. Whether or | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
not you like the politics, the imagery is fantastic. Period of | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
transition. I think it is rather cleverly done. Theresa May and | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
Philip Hammond. It is a face swap. Yes, there you go. We will see you | :19:56. | :19:57. | |
later on. Thank you. A new offensive is taking place | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
in Syria to gain control of Raqqa -- the city which so-called | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
Islamic State regards as the capital In the past few days | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
fighting has intensified between Syrian Democratic Forces | :20:11. | :20:17. | |
backed by the US and the fighters Our correspondent Gabriel Gatehouse, | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
producer Peter Emmerson, and cameraman Fred Scott | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
are the only British broadcasters to have ventured inside Raqqa | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
and have sent this report. This has been a long | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
and brutal road. We're inside Raqqa now, | :20:30. | :20:37. | |
driving towards the centre with the Syrian Democratic Forces, | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
the SDF, a coalition They have only just retaken this | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
street off the fighters that call Here IS is often unseen | :20:44. | :20:54. | |
but all the more dangerous for it. A noise in the sky signals | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
the presence of a drone. What's happening, we have just | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
driven down this narrow sidestreet and suddenly there's | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
gunfire overhead. Everyone's looking up in the sky, | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
searching in the sky As they push forward, | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
carts emerge flying white flags. Some of these families have spent | :21:17. | :21:26. | |
years trapped inside a nightmare. There are tens of thousands | :21:27. | :21:52. | |
of people still in Raqqa, IS has been killing anyone | :21:53. | :21:54. | |
caught trying to leave. The SDF has made rapid | :21:55. | :22:03. | |
advances towards the centre. They have support from American air | :22:04. | :22:10. | |
strikes and artillery. But now they're within a few hundred | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
metres of the old city. Islamic State is hemmed | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
in, almost surrounded, Snipers, booby-traps, | :22:17. | :22:18. | |
suicide bombers. They have done this perhaps more | :22:19. | :22:25. | |
successfully than any other group. But these fighters | :22:26. | :22:40. | |
seem immune to terror. This war has been going | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
on for longer than World War Two. This is about as far | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
forward a position... ..As far forward as they have | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
managed to go but as you can see Welcome to Raqqa, the capital | :22:51. | :22:58. | |
of a caliphate under siege. Among the Kurds, men and women fight | :22:59. | :23:07. | |
alongside one another. Even on the front lines | :23:08. | :23:14. | |
there are no distinctions. She was studying to become | :23:15. | :23:16. | |
a nurse but here she has Returning from the front, | :23:17. | :23:30. | |
fighters described intense all-night battles as Islamic State | :23:31. | :23:42. | |
uses its network of tunnels to stage This is going to be | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
a long, hard fight. If IS loses Raqqa it will surely | :23:46. | :23:52. | |
mean the end of the caliphate. It certainly won't be the end | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
of Syria's long war or the violence It's exactly a year since the UK | :23:56. | :24:02. | |
voted to leave the EU. Ben is at a French cafe | :24:03. | :24:27. | |
in West London, discussing what's Gradually we are learning a little | :24:28. | :24:38. | |
more information on how this will affect people and you will explore | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
that this morning for us. Yes, you are right and how time flies. It is | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
a year since we voted to leave the EU, a year since we decided to | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
change our relationship with the EU and turn our back on that | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
membership. They're as been a lot said since then. Claim and counter | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
claim, whether it will be good for the economy, jobs, imports. When and | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
where better to come and assess what has happened in the last 12 months | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
than with the regular Breakfast rested panel. Lindsey, you voted to | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
remain. Let's talk about what we have heard over the last year. There | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
has been so much discussed. Has it made you change your mind? Good | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
grief, I don't think anyone who voted for Brexit could have foreseen | :25:28. | :25:30. | |
the amount of disruption to the country and the economy and the mess | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
we are in. No, I have not changed my mind. What have been the standout | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
moments for you, the headlines, the discussions over the last 12 months | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
that standout? The one thing more than anything is the election and | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
the fast it turned out to be. The Prime Minister thought the country | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
was behind her -- farce. That was a standout moment. What worries me is | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
our image on the world stage. Everyone is looking at that. We are | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
a lone soldier. Without Europe we are a lone soldier. Maybe in the | :26:08. | :26:15. | |
United States, can we really rely on relationships to trade at fair | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
prices? Lindsey, thank you. I want to introduce you with Damien. You | :26:20. | :26:26. | |
voted to leave. Same question I put to Lindsey. What have you heard in | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
the last 12 months, have you changed your mind? My perception has | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
changed. I think for the better. When I worked in a restaurant, I | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
ordered ordinary food. Now I look only for the British and I support | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
local suppliers. That is a good thing for Brexit. We can support our | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
own goods and farmers, which is from the chef perspective. Thank you. As | :26:51. | :26:57. | |
you can see, we have been joined by the regular panel and we will speak | :26:58. | :27:01. | |
with them this morning to get a sense of what has changed in the | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
last 12 months and what we have heard and whether any other on both | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
sides really weigh up. Join us later. A lot to think about. Thank | :27:10. | :27:11. | |
you. Time now to get the news, | :27:12. | :27:12. | |
travel and weather where you are. Hello, this is Breakfast | :27:13. | :30:31. | |
with Naga Munchetty We'll bring you all the latest news | :30:32. | :30:42. | |
and sport in a moment. With concerns being raised | :30:43. | :30:51. | |
about several other high rise buildings following | :30:52. | :30:55. | |
the Grenfell Tower fire, we'll ask an industry expert how | :30:56. | :30:57. | |
worried residents should be. We'll also be at Glastonbury this | :30:58. | :31:00. | |
morning, where festival-goers face strict new security measures | :31:01. | :31:03. | |
following the recent terror attacks It's the legendary diamond | :31:04. | :31:05. | |
with a murky past that some believe We'll speak to the writers who've | :31:06. | :31:09. | |
investigated how the Koh-i-noor But now a summary of this | :31:10. | :31:22. | |
morning's main news. Around three million EU nationals | :31:23. | :31:26. | |
living in the UK will be allowed to stay after Britain | :31:27. | :31:29. | |
leaves the European Union, under proposals outlined | :31:30. | :31:31. | |
by the Prime Minister. Speaking at a summit in Brussels, | :31:32. | :31:33. | |
Theresa May said that those who had lived here for more than five years | :31:34. | :31:37. | |
would be allowed continued access to healthcare, education | :31:38. | :31:40. | |
and other benefits. She said the deal was dependent | :31:41. | :31:42. | |
on EU states guaranteeing Britons A year to the day since the UK | :31:43. | :31:45. | |
voted to leave the EU, European leaders are | :31:46. | :31:51. | |
digesting the offer made to them by Theresa May over | :31:52. | :31:52. | |
dinner at this summit. She said she wanted no families | :31:53. | :31:58. | |
to split because of Brexit. EU citizens with five years | :31:59. | :32:03. | |
residence would have settled status, meaning lifetime access to health, | :32:04. | :32:06. | |
education, and benefits. And there will be | :32:07. | :32:10. | |
a grace period for newer arrivals to build up | :32:11. | :32:13. | |
enough time to qualify. The EU's prime ministers | :32:14. | :32:16. | |
and presidents made their own proposal on this huge | :32:17. | :32:19. | |
issue earlier this year. This is the first time they've | :32:20. | :32:21. | |
heard the British view and they are waiting for the small | :32:22. | :32:24. | |
print to be published in Parliament TRANSLATION: Theresa May | :32:25. | :32:27. | |
made it clear, today, that EU citizens who have been | :32:28. | :32:31. | |
in Great Britain for five years can That's a good start, | :32:32. | :32:35. | |
but of course there are many, about finances, about | :32:36. | :32:39. | |
the relationship with Ireland, which means we still have a lot | :32:40. | :32:44. | |
to do until October. But Mrs May could be | :32:45. | :32:47. | |
walking into a big row. The EU wants a role | :32:48. | :32:51. | |
for European judges. They want more rights for families, | :32:52. | :32:53. | |
she is not so sure. And that's before a potential | :32:54. | :32:58. | |
argument that could be even bigger: How much money does | :32:59. | :33:01. | |
the UK owe the EU? 11 residential high-rise buildings | :33:02. | :33:12. | |
in England have been found to be covered in combustible cladding, | :33:13. | :33:14. | |
during urgent safety tests carried The buildings are spread | :33:15. | :33:17. | |
across eight local authority areas, including Camden in north London, | :33:18. | :33:21. | |
where cladding is now being removed Premier Inn has also revealed that | :33:22. | :33:24. | |
three of its hotels don't appear A senior police officer has warned | :33:25. | :33:28. | |
that forces in England and Wales would face "real challenges" | :33:29. | :33:34. | |
in dealing with large-scale outbreaks of disorder, | :33:35. | :33:39. | |
because of budget cuts. The Chief Constable | :33:40. | :33:41. | |
of West Midlands, Dave Thompson, said neighbourhood street | :33:42. | :33:43. | |
patrols would "disappear" The Home Secretary, Amber Rudd, | :33:44. | :33:45. | |
has acknowledged police resources are very tight, but said | :33:46. | :33:52. | |
she wouldn't rush Virgin Media has told its 800,000 | :33:53. | :33:54. | |
customers to change their passwords to prevent their | :33:55. | :34:00. | |
accounts being hacked. An investigation by Which? | :34:01. | :34:03. | |
found that hackers could breach security on the Virgin's | :34:04. | :34:07. | |
Super Hub 2 router. The hackers were then able | :34:08. | :34:10. | |
to control other smart appliances including a child's toy | :34:11. | :34:13. | |
and home CCTV cameras. The planned new nuclear power plant | :34:14. | :34:20. | |
at Hinkley Point is both risky and expensive, according | :34:21. | :34:23. | |
to the National Audit Office. The public spending watchdog says | :34:24. | :34:25. | |
the benefits of the plant are uncertain and the deal was not | :34:26. | :34:28. | |
good value for money. State-controlled firms in France | :34:29. | :34:31. | |
and China are paying the project's ?18 billion construction bill, | :34:32. | :34:34. | |
which the government says is an "important | :34:35. | :34:36. | |
strategic decision". The 35th Glastonbury Festival gets | :34:37. | :34:41. | |
officially under way today with heightened security | :34:42. | :34:44. | |
after recent terror attacks. 135,000 music lovers | :34:45. | :34:47. | |
are expected on site over Radiohead will be the main | :34:48. | :34:50. | |
headline act tonight. Hollywood star Johnny Depp caused | :34:51. | :34:54. | |
controversy last night during a special appearance, | :34:55. | :34:56. | |
when he made a joke about Donald When was the last time an actor | :34:57. | :34:59. | |
assassinated a president? Johnny Depp at Glastonbury. Slightly | :35:00. | :35:29. | |
and -- bill using the audience. But there we go. | :35:30. | :35:37. | |
It is always bad when you get the time wrong! 6:35am is the time. | :35:38. | :35:43. | |
Very encouraging for English football at the grassroots. The | :35:44. | :35:47. | |
youngsters in a big tournament tomorrow. England couldn't win it | :35:48. | :35:51. | |
but it is what happens in the development years, whether they get | :35:52. | :35:54. | |
enough exposure playing at the Premier League level. The under 17 | :35:55. | :36:00. | |
have gotten to the finals. Now the Under-21 is doing really well as | :36:01. | :36:01. | |
well. It's all going very well | :36:02. | :36:03. | |
for the Young Lions, England's Under 21s | :36:04. | :36:05. | |
are into the semi finals of the European Championship, | :36:06. | :36:07. | |
after a pretty comfortable win over Demarai Gray hit a cracking opener, | :36:08. | :36:10. | |
with Jacob Murphy and Lewis Baker It's only two weeks since | :36:11. | :36:14. | |
the England Under 20s won the World Liverpool manager Jurgen | :36:15. | :36:21. | |
Klopp has captured one He's paid Roma about ?34 million | :36:22. | :36:23. | |
for the Egypt winger Mohamed Salah, who played | :36:24. | :36:33. | |
for Chelsea a couple of years ago. Klopp said Salah's | :36:34. | :36:36. | |
pace was "incredible". Johanna Konta declined to speak to | :36:37. | :36:43. | |
our reporter after being knocked out at the Avon classic. -- Aegon. She | :36:44. | :36:55. | |
said afterwards, just because I am 17 world, doesn't mean I am entitled | :36:56. | :36:57. | |
to win every match. The top seed left at | :36:58. | :37:03. | |
the Aegon Championships, Marin Chilich is safely | :37:04. | :37:05. | |
through to the next He took the first set | :37:06. | :37:08. | |
against Stefan Kozlov, 6-0, before taking | :37:09. | :37:16. | |
the decisive second set 6-4 to book his place | :37:17. | :37:18. | |
in the quarter finals. Ireland will be able to play Test | :37:19. | :37:20. | |
cricket for the first time in their history after | :37:21. | :37:24. | |
a decision by the sport's The International Cricket Council | :37:25. | :37:26. | |
approved Ireland and Afghanistan as the first new members | :37:27. | :37:29. | |
since the year 2000. It means they could now play | :37:30. | :37:31. | |
the likes of England and Australia What I am hoping is that this | :37:32. | :37:39. | |
success and this decision today will help us to become much more I guess | :37:40. | :37:43. | |
part of the cultural landscape of Ireland. I might be overly ambitious | :37:44. | :37:48. | |
to say as much as gay -- Gaelic football, but we'll get there. | :37:49. | :37:49. | |
Ross Ford is poised to become Scotland's record cap holder | :37:50. | :37:52. | |
after being named in the side to face Fiji. | :37:53. | :37:55. | |
It is the final match of their summer tour after wins over Italy | :37:56. | :38:00. | |
and Australia. To get a start when you break the | :38:01. | :38:06. | |
record is great and deserved. He has played really good and has driven | :38:07. | :38:14. | |
the standards and he is in a very competitive position. They played | :38:15. | :38:19. | |
really well last weekend and off the bench against Italy. And as if you | :38:20. | :38:29. | |
need reminding, it is the British and Irish Lions tomorrow morning. | :38:30. | :38:30. | |
Widnes are off the bottom of rugby league's Super League, | :38:31. | :38:33. | |
after they thrashed the team that were just | :38:34. | :38:35. | |
And it was the Australian duo Chris Houston and here | :38:36. | :38:39. | |
Corey Thompson who scored a brace of tries each | :38:40. | :38:41. | |
England's men have qualified for the 2018 Hockey World Cup finals | :38:42. | :38:44. | |
in India, after coming from behind to beat Canada 4-2 | :38:45. | :38:49. | |
Team Sky's Geraint Thomas has recovered from the injuries, | :38:50. | :39:04. | |
that forced him out of the Giro D'Italia, | :39:05. | :39:06. | |
to ride in support of Chris Froome in this year's Tour De France. | :39:07. | :39:14. | |
It has got tens of thousands of girls active in the sport in | :39:15. | :39:22. | |
Finland, but it may surprise you to hear that hobby horse showjumping | :39:23. | :39:26. | |
has arrived in the UK, with the first national championships taking | :39:27. | :39:32. | |
place this weekend near Redding. Of course the hobby horses are low | :39:33. | :39:36. | |
maintenance and gets people who can't afford a real horse to get | :39:37. | :39:42. | |
involved in showjumping. A new high in my career. See what happens on | :39:43. | :39:47. | |
tomorrow's programme as I joined the British hopefuls. Defence got | :39:48. | :39:52. | |
higher, but not as high as they are in Finland, where the sport has been | :39:53. | :39:56. | |
developed. The competition gets very intense and in Finland there is now | :39:57. | :40:00. | |
a movie out about it as well. More on that on Breakfast tomorrow. | :40:01. | :40:06. | |
I'm confused. Why are? You could just do jumping, running | :40:07. | :40:08. | |
and jumping. But then they wouldn't get the | :40:09. | :40:13. | |
equestrian experience. Why do you need to stick the puppet | :40:14. | :40:19. | |
in between your legs? In Finland they see the horses as | :40:20. | :40:24. | |
real. They keep them in a room and look after them and compete on them. | :40:25. | :40:29. | |
The idea is it gives you an idea of competing in annex -- in an | :40:30. | :40:35. | |
equestrian sport. You get all of the things that come with real | :40:36. | :40:38. | |
showjumping and it only to splash out on an expensive course. | :40:39. | :40:41. | |
So we are going to see more on that tomorrow? Yes. | :40:42. | :40:44. | |
Thank you very much. It has been one year since the UK | :40:45. | :40:53. | |
voted to leave the EU and formal Brexit negotiations are finally | :40:54. | :40:56. | |
getting under way. Ben is at a French cafe this | :40:57. | :41:01. | |
morning. Not for fun, he is therefore work. We are getting a | :41:02. | :41:05. | |
picture of sorts emerging and people are asking more questions about what | :41:06. | :41:10. | |
Brexit will really look like. Yes and that's the thing. It has been | :41:11. | :41:15. | |
one year since we voted to leave the EU. 12 months of course of debate | :41:16. | :41:18. | |
and claim and counter claim about what it all means for the economy | :41:19. | :41:23. | |
and jobs and imports and exports. So we've come down to a French bakery | :41:24. | :41:27. | |
in Southwest London and you can see the gets getting ready to go into | :41:28. | :41:31. | |
the oven. All systems go here, but of course it is one of the questions | :41:32. | :41:35. | |
that everyone is talking about. What will it mean for businesswill it | :41:36. | :41:39. | |
mean for European nationals living in this country? Of course we have | :41:40. | :41:44. | |
heard a bit about that overnight, but there's a lot to discuss and a | :41:45. | :41:48. | |
lot to debate and whether or not people have heard enough over the | :41:49. | :41:52. | |
past 12 months to change their mind. We will speak to our regular panel | :41:53. | :41:58. | |
of Brexit get the moment. First, a quick reminder of how that | :41:59. | :42:00. | |
tumultuous few hours played out. That's a result of this referendum, | :42:01. | :42:08. | |
which has been preceded by weeks and months of argument and is dispute at | :42:09. | :42:12. | |
all the rest of it. The British people have spoken and the answer is | :42:13. | :42:15. | |
we're out. The British people have made a very clear decision to take a | :42:16. | :42:20. | |
different path. And as such, I think the country requires fresh | :42:21. | :42:23. | |
leadership to take it in this direction. It's a victory for | :42:24. | :42:31. | |
ordinary people, decent people. A victory against the big merchant | :42:32. | :42:34. | |
banks, against the big businesses and against big politics. | :42:35. | :42:39. | |
That was how those 24 hours played out and there's been so much debate | :42:40. | :42:45. | |
since then about whether it's good news or bad news for the UK, for | :42:46. | :42:49. | |
Europe and the money in our pockets. With me, our regular panel of Brexit | :42:50. | :42:59. | |
guests and I want to introduce them to you. On the left they boasted | :43:00. | :43:07. | |
Leave, on the right, Remain. Starting with you, Lance. It has | :43:08. | :43:10. | |
been quite a year. What have been the standout moments? The standout | :43:11. | :43:16. | |
moments? I think Article 50 is one of them. Yeah, Article 50. To be | :43:17. | :43:28. | |
honest, there has been so much. Too much to remember! There have been so | :43:29. | :43:34. | |
many claims about what it will mean for all of us. As any other to make | :43:35. | :43:38. | |
you change your mind and think differently about leaving the | :43:39. | :43:41. | |
European Union? It has actually solidified my original opinion. If | :43:42. | :43:47. | |
there had been a conference of plan, because we see Europe as being | :43:48. | :43:52. | |
transparent about what is happening, yet we see our government not giving | :43:53. | :43:56. | |
us anything whatsoever. If our government had given us something to | :43:57. | :44:01. | |
go by then I think I would be a little bit more inclined to be | :44:02. | :44:06. | |
influenced, but I haven't seen any other. I haven't seen anything | :44:07. | :44:12. | |
tangible about Brexit. Of course it will happen, but the worrying thing | :44:13. | :44:16. | |
is there's nothing tangible about it that is being given to normal | :44:17. | :44:22. | |
people. Why is there not a plant? We were told they would be a plan and | :44:23. | :44:27. | |
it would all be in hand. It has been a bit of a Celtic 12 months, hasn't | :44:28. | :44:30. | |
it? That the understatement of the year! Political climate in the last | :44:31. | :44:34. | |
three weeks has changed dramatically and it is very difficult when you've | :44:35. | :44:41. | |
got a government, if you are honest, isn't really Brexit. Even the Prime | :44:42. | :44:44. | |
Minister was very much a Remainer, even though she kept her powder dry. | :44:45. | :44:49. | |
I think the thing we've got to look at is Brexit means Brexit. It isn't | :44:50. | :44:54. | |
hard or soft... What does that mean? That we are leaving. First and | :44:55. | :45:01. | |
foremost David Davis gave a concession on Monday, to say we | :45:02. | :45:05. | |
would leave trade aside. We would discuss money and the citizens' | :45:06. | :45:09. | |
rights to stay where they are. Well done, shows good faith. Secondly, | :45:10. | :45:15. | |
yesterday Prime Minister may brilliantly came out with it. Of | :45:16. | :45:18. | |
course 3 million people should be allowed to stay here. No more | :45:19. | :45:23. | |
concessions now. It is now hard-nosed negotiations. We will | :45:24. | :45:30. | |
love it in the future, trust me! Damien, I want to ask you about that | :45:31. | :45:34. | |
reassurance, what does it mean? Just in time. I am here for 15 years. | :45:35. | :45:42. | |
Lots of Polish people, people who came from the EU, we pay taxes, open | :45:43. | :45:47. | |
businesses and employ people. It is the best time to get proper rights | :45:48. | :45:51. | |
in the country and finally we can vote as well. Spot on with that one. | :45:52. | :45:57. | |
I am really happy. A final word, Lindsey. You voted to remain. It has | :45:58. | :46:02. | |
been a busy 12 months. Do you think any differently, have you changed | :46:03. | :46:08. | |
your mind? Absolutely not. I am very glad to vote to remain and I wish we | :46:09. | :46:12. | |
didn't start Brexit in the first place. It has led to a disaster in | :46:13. | :46:16. | |
the economy. It has led to us looking ridiculous... It has gone | :46:17. | :46:23. | |
past the stage of party politics. I think the parties should work with | :46:24. | :46:26. | |
businesses to make it work if it happens at all. Perhaps we wouldn't | :46:27. | :46:36. | |
have had Brexit after all. Please, let's not have Brexit after all. I | :46:37. | :46:41. | |
think you might be waiting a little while for that wish. Thank you very | :46:42. | :46:45. | |
much. Thank you to all of you. I will stay safely down the middle and | :46:46. | :46:50. | |
keep these two separate. We'll have more from these guys after 7am. | :46:51. | :46:53. | |
Thanks very much. Here's Matt with a look | :46:54. | :46:55. | |
at this morning's weather. Good morning. It is undoubtedly a | :46:56. | :47:08. | |
change in the weather. The extreme heat has gone, as have the | :47:09. | :47:16. | |
thunderstorms. For a couple of you the wind has gone and this is a shot | :47:17. | :47:20. | |
from Cambridgeshire over the last hour. It has been different in | :47:21. | :47:24. | |
Cumbria. Not pretty up the window this morning. You can barely see the | :47:25. | :47:30. | |
hills with the rain on the horizon. This area of cloud is producing the | :47:31. | :47:34. | |
rain. To the north of that, fresh air on the way. Inching into | :47:35. | :47:38. | |
northern Scotland, with the morning cloud braking and the light and | :47:39. | :47:43. | |
patchy rain and drizzle we at here and there, not quite as wet as it | :47:44. | :47:47. | |
looks on the chart, and that will gradually depart. Cumbria, it is | :47:48. | :47:51. | |
throwing it down. Over the next couple of hours it will move into | :47:52. | :47:56. | |
Lancashire. Not much rain in the Pennines, the odd shower into the | :47:57. | :48:01. | |
Midlands. In western Wales the rain will be heavy and persistent later | :48:02. | :48:04. | |
on. Southern counties of England have a dry start, as you saw from | :48:05. | :48:11. | |
Jeff in Cambridgeshire. A lovely start for one or two. Much of | :48:12. | :48:16. | |
southern England will be dry. A bit of sunshine. Sunshine coming out in | :48:17. | :48:19. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland in the afternoon. Northern England is | :48:20. | :48:25. | |
cloudy, much of the Midlands and Wales. East of the high ground, you | :48:26. | :48:29. | |
might get a couple of breaks. Not much rain at all. For most of you, | :48:30. | :48:34. | |
temperatures back to where they should be. Just pushing 21 at | :48:35. | :48:42. | |
Glastonbury. A lot of dry weather to come. Saturday will be the only time | :48:43. | :48:47. | |
you see rain around. The cloudy sea across central part of the country | :48:48. | :48:51. | |
moves further south tonight. -- the cloud you see. Much of East Anglia | :48:52. | :48:59. | |
and the south-east is dry. Scotland and Northern Ireland with clear | :49:00. | :49:03. | |
skies. Showers pushing into the north later on and we will see the | :49:04. | :49:07. | |
wind strengthened. It is quite unseasonably windy for the northern | :49:08. | :49:12. | |
half of the UK. Gales and severe gales thanks to this low pressure. | :49:13. | :49:15. | |
Strong wind along the Hebrides and Shetland. Cloudy in northern | :49:16. | :49:20. | |
England. It will brighten from the north. Wales is cloudy and wet in | :49:21. | :49:24. | |
the west. Some of the rain pushes into the Midlands. Southern counties | :49:25. | :49:29. | |
with patchy rain and drizzle. Skies will brighten. Temperatures may be | :49:30. | :49:35. | |
into the low 20s. They start to fall away in the north and west. As they | :49:36. | :49:39. | |
will do on Sunday in the breeze, strongest along the north and east | :49:40. | :49:43. | |
of Scotland. Eastern areas are dry and bright with only a couple of | :49:44. | :49:48. | |
Many will be pleased to hear it. Thank you. | :49:49. | :49:53. | |
It's a risky and expensive project that offers consumers little | :49:54. | :49:56. | |
That's the damning verdict from the National Audit Office | :49:57. | :50:00. | |
on plans for a new nuclear power station at Hinkley Point. | :50:01. | :50:03. | |
The project on the Somerset coast is being financed by France | :50:04. | :50:06. | |
and China and has been described as "strategically important" | :50:07. | :50:08. | |
So what impact will it have on our energy bills? | :50:09. | :50:12. | |
Mark Todd is from Energy Helpline and he joins us now. | :50:13. | :50:15. | |
Thank you for joining us. I will talk to you about the energy bills | :50:16. | :50:21. | |
in a moment. Can you explain why Hinkley Point is so expensive? | :50:22. | :50:25. | |
Someone said it is the most expensive project on the. That is | :50:26. | :50:30. | |
correct. The most expensive man-made object on earth when it is built. | :50:31. | :50:34. | |
Effectively the government don't want to take the risk to | :50:35. | :50:38. | |
decommission their nuclear power station. That is why it is costing a | :50:39. | :50:44. | |
huge amount of money with old power stations. They ran an auction | :50:45. | :50:52. | |
process and the only French company, at EDF, were left. We will pay | :50:53. | :50:56. | |
double the price for electricity now for nuclear power. EDF are taking on | :50:57. | :51:02. | |
all the risk of decommissioning the plant and that is what the | :51:03. | :51:07. | |
government didn't want to take on. How is that translated into us | :51:08. | :51:10. | |
paying more money through electricity bills? I thought this | :51:11. | :51:13. | |
was supposed to generate more electricity cheaply? It generates a | :51:14. | :51:18. | |
lot of electricity but it isn't cheap, that is clear. It is not | :51:19. | :51:25. | |
cheap electricity. If you generate electricity by offshore wind it | :51:26. | :51:31. | |
costs about ?120 a megawatt hour, that is enough to light a thousand | :51:32. | :51:37. | |
old lightbulbs for an hour. The electricity from Hinkley Point will | :51:38. | :51:45. | |
be ?92.50, so it is not as expensive as offshore wind but gas and coal is | :51:46. | :51:51. | |
?40 to ?50, so it is double the price we are paying. Fortunately it | :51:52. | :51:57. | |
is not all electricity, just a part of it, but it will push up people's | :51:58. | :52:02. | |
bills. The government has said it is reliable, low carbon electricity. It | :52:03. | :52:07. | |
is not depend on wind or son and we need some of this in the mix so we | :52:08. | :52:12. | |
have reliable electricity going forward which doesn't stop when the | :52:13. | :52:16. | |
wind stops blowing Watersun stops shining. My annual electricity bill, | :52:17. | :52:22. | |
how is it going to change and for how long? It is difficult to say | :52:23. | :52:27. | |
exactly. Certainly it would be going up in the future when we are getting | :52:28. | :52:32. | |
this low carbon electricity. It will also be going up when we are using | :52:33. | :52:39. | |
more wind generated electricity and solar, because that is more | :52:40. | :52:43. | |
expensive. Technically it could go up 20 or ?30 to pay for Hinkley | :52:44. | :52:48. | |
Point. It could be. We would have to look into the figures quite | :52:49. | :52:52. | |
intensely to see the exact number it is going to cost each home. OK, Mark | :52:53. | :52:58. | |
Todd from Energy Helpline, thank you for explaining all of that for us | :52:59. | :53:00. | |
this morning. We have had a government response as | :53:01. | :53:06. | |
well in response to this report. A government spokesperson said that | :53:07. | :53:08. | |
building the plant was an important strategic decision to ensure that | :53:09. | :53:14. | |
nuclear is part of the diverse energy mix. The government says it | :53:15. | :53:18. | |
will provide clean, reliable energy powering 6 million homes. | :53:19. | :53:21. | |
The population of Somerset will soar by more than a third over the next | :53:22. | :53:25. | |
few days, as the Glastonbury Festival gets into full swing. | :53:26. | :53:28. | |
135,000 music lovers have been arriving at Worthy Farm, | :53:29. | :53:30. | |
where Radiohead will headline the Pyramid Stage this evening. | :53:31. | :53:33. | |
But security at the event has been stepped up this year, | :53:34. | :53:36. | |
For years there has been significant security surrounding the Glastonbury | :53:37. | :53:49. | |
site. Recent events mean there is now a lot more. As thousands of | :53:50. | :53:55. | |
people come into the festival bag searches and body searches, and it | :53:56. | :54:01. | |
is not just at entry points. Across the festival site security are | :54:02. | :54:07. | |
checking out random individuals. Along with a police presence that is | :54:08. | :54:12. | |
hard to miss. The organisers tried to make sure festival-goers feel | :54:13. | :54:14. | |
safe without affecting their enjoyment. But people here feel they | :54:15. | :54:20. | |
have got the balance just right. It is a self policing place. Everyone | :54:21. | :54:24. | |
is here for everyone else. We are looking after each other. You feel | :54:25. | :54:30. | |
safe? Totally. There was more security and time to get through the | :54:31. | :54:34. | |
gates, although it is for a good reason. Everyone is having a great | :54:35. | :54:38. | |
time and behaving really well and everyone has been so kind to each | :54:39. | :54:42. | |
other. None of it seems to have taken away from the reason of course | :54:43. | :54:49. | |
that people come here, the music. The main stages don't get under way | :54:50. | :54:52. | |
until later but there is still plenty going on. And being here is | :54:53. | :55:01. | |
experienced by people of all ages. I am 62 and I am coming for the first | :55:02. | :55:06. | |
time, while I am young enough to sleep in a tent. What has the | :55:07. | :55:10. | |
atmosphere being like? Far better than I expected. It is awesome. This | :55:11. | :55:15. | |
is our first time and it is absolutely stunning. We are blown | :55:16. | :55:19. | |
away by it all. Everywhere you look there is something to look at. Why | :55:20. | :55:26. | |
didn't we do it years ago? Many people live here with great memories | :55:27. | :55:30. | |
and few can save heirs are as special as this, so, Dan proposing. | :55:31. | :55:44. | |
What is it like? Is where we met at the most beautiful place ever and it | :55:45. | :55:54. | |
means so much. With the increased security some festival-goers may be | :55:55. | :55:57. | |
feeling more anxious than in previous years but so far those | :55:58. | :55:59. | |
worries don't seem to be showing. The party has started. Have you | :56:00. | :56:20. | |
been? No, never. I bet they are hoping for decent weather. I think | :56:21. | :56:24. | |
it will be OK. I would like to go if I could do it without all of the | :56:25. | :56:28. | |
mud. That is what is going to be good this weekend, not as much mud. | :56:29. | :56:30. | |
There's full coverage from Glastonbury all weekend | :56:31. | :56:32. | |
You're watching Breakfast from BBC News. | :56:33. | :56:38. | |
Still to come this morning: It's much harder to keep girls interested | :56:39. | :56:42. | |
in keeping fit and being active than boys according to new research. | :56:43. | :56:45. | |
We'll be at a school that's trying a different approach to the problem | :56:46. | :56:48. | |
I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Naga | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Giving EU citizens the right to stay in the UK after Brexit. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The Prime Minister says around three million people could get | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
She unveiled the plan at her first summit since the general election, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
but the Labour Party says it's "too little, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
It's exactly a year since the UK voted to leave the EU. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
A lot has happened since then, so would voters | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
change the way they voted and now think differently about Brexit? | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Good morning, it's Friday the 23rd of June. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Also this morning: As hundreds of buildings are tested | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
after the Grenfell Fire, combustible cladding is found on 11 | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
And Premier Inn says it's extremely concerned about three of its hotels. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The PE gender gap: As research finds that two-thirds of girls under nine | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
are failing to be active for one hour a day. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
In sport, the Young Lions roar again. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
England's Under-21s reach the semi-finals | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
of their European Championship, just two weeks after the Under 20s | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
135,000 people descend on Worthy Farm as the Glastonbury Festival | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
gets under way with heightened security. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The Glastonbury forecast sun bed up for a lot of us. A bit of sunshine | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
today and into the weekend, and also rein in the forecast. I will tell | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
you when and where that will strike in the next 15 minutes. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Around 3 million EU nationals living in the UK will be allowed | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
to stay after Brexit, under proposals outlined | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Speaking at a summit in Brussels, Theresa May said that those who had | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
lived here for more than five years would be allowed continued access | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
to healthcare, education and other benefits. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Mrs May said the deal was dependent on EU states guaranteeing Britons | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
A year to the day since the UK voted to leave the EU, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
European leaders are digesting the offer made | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
to them by Theresa May over dinner at this summit. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
She said she wanted no families to split because of Brexit. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
EU citizens with five years residence would have settled status, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
meaning lifetime access to health, education, and benefits. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
And there will be a grace period for newer | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
arrivals to build up enough time to qualify. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The EU's prime ministers and presidents made their own | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
proposal on this huge issue earlier this year. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
This is the first time they've heard the British view | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
and they are waiting for the small print to be published in Parliament | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
TRANSLATION: Theresa May made it clear, today, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
that EU citizens who have been in Great Britain for five years can | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
That's a good start, but of course there are many, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
about finances, about the relationship with Ireland, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
which means we still have a lot to do until October. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
But Mrs May could be walking into a big row. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The EU wants a role for European judges. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
They want more rights for families, she doesn't seem so sure. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
And that's before a potential argument that could be even bigger: | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
How much money does the UK owe the EU? | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Later we will get a reaction from a Bulgarian woman who has been living | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
in Britain for the last 5.5 years. 11 residential high-rise buildings | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
in England have been found to be covered in combustible cladding, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
this after urgent safety tests were carried out following | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the Grenfell Tower fire. The buildings are spread | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
across eight local authority areas, including Camden in north London, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
where cladding is now being removed More details from our | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
correspondent Tom Burridge. It took a tragedy to change | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
fire safety in Britain. It's so frustrating that we've been | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
asking for the building regulations to be reviewed every year, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
and nothing at all has Already, in another London borough, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
they are stripping off cladding The cladding here is similar | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
to that used on Grenfell Camden Council claims it was misled | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
and was told the cladding used on these buildings | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
was a safer type. The cladding will be a key part | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
of the investigation into the fire Like many other buildings, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
its outer skin was of an aluminium The best cladding has a mineral | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
core, which doesn't burn. But the core at Grenfell | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
was polyethylene and that might have been a factor that | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
caused the fire to spread. The government says it is now | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
testing 600 buildings, but there are reviews under way | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
on privately owned buildings too. Premier Inn has told the BBC that | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
three of its hotels did not appear to comply with government | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
guidelines for tall buildings. The company said it had received | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
independent advice that the hotels could stay open, given other | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
fire safety measures. But many other buildings, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
owned by others, elsewhere, Yesterday, the Prime Minister | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
booed again on a visit The deadly fire at Grenfell Tower | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
will change how buildings are built. The political legacy | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
is still unravelling. I just want to make a short | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
clarification. The premiere in has told us it is very concerned about | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
three big as explained in that hotel. -- Premier Inn. It says the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
cladding doesn't seem to apply with government guidance, earlier we said | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
building guidance. Government guidance. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
A senior police officer has warned that forces in England and Wales | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
would face real challenges in dealing with large-scale | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
outbreaks of disorder, because of budget cuts. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The Chief Constable of West Midlands, Dave Thompson, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
said neighbourhood street patrols would "disappear" | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The Home Secretary Amber Rudd has acknowledged police resources | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
are very tight, but said she wouldn't rush | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Virgin Media has told its 800,000 customers | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
to change their passwords to prevent their accounts being hacked. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
An investigation by Which? found that hackers could breach | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
security on the Virgin's Super Hub 2 router. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The hackers were then able to control other smart appliances, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
including a child's toy and home CCTV cameras. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Facebook has revealed new plans to tackle extremism by educating | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
charities and other organisations on how to counter hate speech. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The social media giant has launched the Online Civil Courage | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Initiative, which it said would allow charities and other | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
non-profit organisations to share their experiences | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
of extremism and develop ways to tackle the issue both | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The planned new nuclear power plant at Hinkley Point is both risky | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
and expensive, according to the National Audit Office. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The public spending watchdog says the benefits of the plant | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
are uncertain and the deal was not good value for money. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
State-controlled firms in France and China are paying the project's | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
18-billion pound construction bill, which the government says | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
is an "important strategic decision". | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
It says it will provide clean and reliable electricity, powering 6 | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
million homes. The 35th Glastonbury Festival gets | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
officially under way today with heightened security | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
after recent terror attacks. 135,000 music lovers are expected | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
on site over the weekend. Radiohead will be the main | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
headline act tonight. Lizo, the stars have | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
already started arriving? As well as the festival-goers? | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Absolutely. Thousands of people are beginning to wake up across the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
festival site. There have already been event yesterday. A special | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
visit by Johnny Depp has caused quite a lot of controversy, with | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
remarks that he made about President Donald Trump. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
When was the last time an actor assassinated a president? | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
He then appeared to row back later from those comments, or clarify, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
indicating that he wasn't really talking about President Trump but | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
about the assassination of President Lincoln. But it is already one of | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the big talking point is right the way across the Glastonbury site. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Things will start on the main Pyramid stage. At 10:45am it will be | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
a one minutes silence remembering the recent tragic events in London | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
and Manchester and tied in a way to that is there has been an increased | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
security presence right across the festival. There have been bag | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
searches and random searches throughout the site and it seems to | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
be making people feel safer, before the music starts over the weekend. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
I'm sure they will have a great time. Lizo, thanks very much. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Let's go back to one of our main stories. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Thousands of people living in 600 high-rise buildings across England | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
are waiting to find out if their homes are covered | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
in combustible cladding, as urgent tests are carried out | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
So far 11 blocks in eight areas have been identified | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
as dangerous and Camden council is already removing cladding | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Fire Safety specialist Arnold Tarling is here to tell us | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
more, but first let's hear from Holly Hamilton, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
who's been to see a concerned resident in Halifax. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
I would like to say... Richard has been living in this high-rise flat | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
in Halifax for over 15 years. Living on the top floor, 15 stories high, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
he has been left feeling concerned for his own safety after his | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
building was named as one of 600 under urgent investigation. I'm not | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
an expert in cladding or anything like that. I can see the difference | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
between hours and theirs, but I still want to know if it is | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
fireproof or not. I'm not frightened, but I am concerned. Like | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
thousands of people this week, Richard received a letter reassuring | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
him that all five assessments and procedures are up-to-date, but | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
events in London have left him feeling anxious. As far as they | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
know, that block was safe. It proved not to be. So what's to say that | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
this isn't? . -- isn't safe? I would feel better if someone knocked on my | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
door and said, I am sorry, I want to reassure you that the cladding on | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
your block is 100% safe. 11 blocks of flats in eight local authority | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
areas have been found to have flammable facades and while this | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
building is yet to be tested, the body that maintains the Block says | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the correct safety checks have been put in place. No matter how many | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
safety checks you put in place, fires can happen. We know from our | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
initial test and from an initial visual inspection that this cladding | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
is not the same as Grenfell. We will still go through proper testing. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Until the test results come through it is an anxious wait for thousands | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
of residents, many of whom are simply waiting for some reassurance | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
and answers. You are just not 100% until they come and say there is no | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
risk at all. They said everything was done to fire regulations at the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
time, but the thing is our those regulations strong enough? | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
We have also heard from Premier Inn, which says it is concerned about | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
three of its buildings. It brings into question how many other types | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
of buildings are at risk? Fire safety expert Arnold | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Tarling joins us now. Is the cladding just for aesthetic | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
or is there a purpose? There is always a purpose for the cladding | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
system. Some of them are actually sandwiched with the installation in | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
them and that is to reduce carbon dioxide. Other ones like this, you | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
have actually got a different system where the installation to improve | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the energy efficiency of the building has been stuck on the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
building and then you need to keep the rain off it and ensure that any | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
condensation gets out. So this is a rain screen cladding. It is | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
installed with an air gap between bat and the installation of the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
building. But there are many other types of installation put on | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
buildings, which are made up. One in Shepherds Bush was plywood and it | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
had a fire. It was expanded polystyrene with sheet metal stuck | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
to the front. When that fire went off of course the polystyrene | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
shrinks away and all of the sheet metal falls. Can you help us with | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
some of the terminology that is being used at the moment? So, on | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
some buildings, it appears the cladding can be within building | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
regulations, but not compliant with government regulations. Are there | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Jew separate standards? Has the government stipulated something but | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
it could still be on a building because it isn't within the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
regulations? If there are other regulations why aren't they in the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
building regulations? There are suggestions that these external | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
panels should be treated as installation, but even then when you | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
read the building regulations it says flammable installation can be | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
clad on both sides. The insurance industry, quite a number of years | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
ago, in the late 1990s, early to thousands, -- 2000s, had | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
catastrophic losses with cladding on warehouses and it was the insurance | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
companies which banned it, not the government. Now the government has | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
launched the safety enquiry. There is criticism from Labour and the Lib | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Dems that this is too late. What do you think? | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
It should have been done years ago. It has been successive Labour | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
governments when it was first put on buildings in the early days in the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
1980s. In the year are qualified in 1984, my goodness, experts back then | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
were warning about fire risk in cladding on Bill -- buildings. How | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
does that work, why is it still being applied? If you pardon the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
comment, there is a firewall between experts and government. The | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
government has its own advisers in-house. You have to ask the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
advisers in-house what they have told the government and why anything | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
hasn't changed. Why have successive ministers of state and deputy | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
ministers of state at every time said the same as the previous | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
person? Parrot fashion. You are not here to talk about politics. What is | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
your understanding of why anyone involved in government would ignore | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
what a very clear message is coming from safety advisors? There is no | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
advantage in that? Does cost come into the picture? It is not a | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
government issue. The government are there to set laws which are to keep | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the public safe. We used to have laws in London which did, the London | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Building Act. The original building, Grenfell Tower, could never happen | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
in this way. They have changed things in Grenfell Tower, they have | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
gas pipes in the stairwells! That was never a loud. You had it in its | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
own fireproof duct, vented at the top and bottom. Now you have gas | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
pipes which can create a massive explosion! We don't want to | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
speculate much on what has happened as the investigation continues. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
There are many people concerned in other types of buildings as well. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Are there others using from being a surveyor in the trade that you think | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
should be under investigation or should be looked at closely? Yes. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
How do you know this isn't in your local hospital, how do you know it | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
isn't in your leisure centre, on your children's school? How do you | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
know there are not other products out there? How long would that take? | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
To assess these buildings and how quickly can it be done? When I was | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
testing industrial buildings it can be done very quickly. You get a hole | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
cutter, you use it at slow speed, you cut out a small sample of a | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
panel and then you take it away and you try to set fire to it. If it | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
burns you know it is wrong. When the building is built, is it not on the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
spec, is it not specific, what you use, can you not look at it and | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
compare it with what was tested previously and what hasn't? You | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
could look at it and do that. When you look at the building regulations | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
in the appendix A, items of 13 and 18, which talk about composite | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
panels and this type of plastic thermoplastic, it says if the core | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
is covered with two sheets of nonflammable material, you ignore | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the call. How important is it... One of our correspondence has done an | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
investigation and looked into cladding and spoke recently with | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Premier Inn and they said they are concerned with three of its hotels. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
How important is it that companies come forward and take on the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
responsibility themselves of testing? Any sensible business, any | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
sensible owner of large buildings clad with this would be testing it | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
straightaway. They would be making investigations. In response...? In | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
response to this. Thank you very much. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Here's Matt with a look at this morning's weather. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Good morning. Our weather over the next couple of days closer to what | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
it should be this time of year compared with the week so far. There | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
will be sunshine. Some of you will wake up to it this morning. Here is | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the view from Eastbourne, east Sussex. It is a different story for | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Clare in County Durham. Look at the grey skies. There is rain in the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
forecast not just today but through the weekend. The rain today is | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
linked to this zone of cloud. To the north of that, fresh air on the way, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
especially Scotland and Northern Ireland. The overnight rain is | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
clearing, sunny spells develop, a fresh breeze already. Cloud for | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Northern Ireland, southern Scotland, producing rain and drizzle. Parts of | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
north-west England, Cumbria especially, where it is raining | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
heavily and things improved party pushes into Lancashire. In County | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Durham and Yorkshire we will see some spots of rain. Not as wet as | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the west of the Pennines. The same in Wales, west in the west. East | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Anglia and the south and east Midlands start with dry weather. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Most will be dry and fine. The best of the sunshine further east. Around | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the Bristol Channel as well. Cloud amounts come and go. It will be dry. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland will be bright in the afternoon with | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
sunny spells. Northern England is fairly cloudy with occasional rain | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
and drizzle. Temperatures close to where they should be for the time of | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
year, pleasant at 24, but of course if you are used to the heat it will | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
be feeling on the cool side. The same for Glastonbury at 21 degrees, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
very pleasant. Most of the time drive through the weekend with the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
small chance of rain as I will show you. It will come in central areas | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
pushing southwards, introducing rain to Glastonbury, southern Wales and | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
south-west England at the end of the night into Saturday morning. Mainly | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
dry and fairly mild in the south-east but much further further | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
north with sunny spells to start on Saturday and a strengthening wind. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Low pressure to the north of Shetland will have some unseasonably | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
wet weather for June in Scotland. Maybe gale force winds in the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
central belt, severe gales can't be ruled out in the Hebrides. Southern | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Scotland largely dry. Northern England brightening up after a | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
cloudy start. Further rain through the Midlands and Wales. Early patchy | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
rain or drizzle in southern counties of England. Skies will brighten | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
before we see showers to end the day. Temperatures 22. Feeling | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
fresher in the wind. That will be the case on Sunday. Strongest winds | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
in the north and east of Scotland. Eastern areas will have the best of | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the sunshine on Sunday. Showers in the west, west of Scotland and | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
north-west England but even here there will be some dry weather. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Temperatures by then in the midteens and still potentially low 20s in the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
south-east corner. It's exactly a year since the UK | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
voted to leave the European Union, and for the first time | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
we now have some clues as to what that could mean for EU | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
citizens living here. At a summit in Brussels, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the Prime Minister said people from the EU who have lived | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
here for more than five years would be given "settled status" | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
with access to health, Let's speak to our Europe | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
correspondent Kevin Connolly Morning. Even though we have heard | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
this five-year period of time there is uncertainty as to the timeframe | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
of the five years - where it ends and begins. There is plenty of scope | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
to argue over the details of what Theresa May proposed to EU leaders | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
last night. Of course there is. It is an immensely complicated area. I | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
think the headline from this you are right is there is a little flash on | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the bones now. For the first on European leaders have a sense of the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
vision Theresa May has got for how things are going to work in the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
future and she started wisely with that issue of what's going to happen | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
to those EU families who live and work in the UK and of course also | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
British expatriates who live, work or have retired in other EU | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
countries and Britain is proposing essentially that those EU citizens | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
who are in the UK will be able to stay, will be able to access | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
pensions, welfare where appropriate and healthcare. You are right, there | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
is a question over some of the detail - when will the five-year | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
period start? Around the date of the Brexit referendum, or maybe on the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
date when the UK finally leaves. I think what Theresa May has done is | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
created space for negotiation. And in return there is going to be an | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
argument over which court system should sit in judgement on any | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
disputes over all of this. The Europeans want the European Court of | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Justice. Britain might want the British courts. You can see the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
ground for argument and grounds for compromise. The big news is Theresa | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
May has started to set out the UK's vision. Thank you very much. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Maria Spirova is originally from Bulgaria but has been living | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
and working in Britain for the last five and a half years. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
So, Maria, tell me what have you learnt from Theresa May as regards | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
your circumstances? Are you any clearer about what will happen for | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
you? Good morning. I am very glad to be here. Maybe that could have been | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
a happier topic. ABI could have been more jubilant. As it stands now it | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
is testament to the fact that I have accustomed to British culture and I | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
am keeping a stiff upper lip. I am panicked on the inside. I know | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
nothing more specific than what was obvious yesterday. It was obvious | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
yesterday that people who have means to produce a residency and to prove | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
residency for five years will be allowed to stay in this country, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
this was obvious and well known to all European citizens. Do you | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
qualify on that basis? I would possibly qualify... There are two | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
things to be kept in memory here. One of them is, are the rules | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Theresa May envisions for this living or residing for five years | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the same as they apply now? The same rules which apply now don't work for | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
a great part of European citizens. For instance, if you don't have P60 | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
for five years you cannot qualify for residency. As you know, nobody | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
in this country for 20 or 30 years has been told that they have to have | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
universal healthcare paid separately in order to qualify if they haven't | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
worked for five years. What we have now is this term, I don't know if it | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
is new, settled status. This term is settled status. If I understand it | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
rightly, I am sure you are looking at your circumstances. If you dated | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
back five years, March 2019, dated back five years to March 2014, does | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
it mean... Did you arrive before that point? I arrived before 2014 | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
foot all. The thing is most of us have arrived at some point in time | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
-- 2014 for sure. Mrs May isn't talking about living in this | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
country. She is talking about legally residing. The other | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
circumstances you have to have a treaty right. The short answer and | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
why we asked you hear is you don't feel any more secure than you did | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
before Theresa May...? That opens more questions than it answers. We | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
were sort of expecting to be honest most European Union people, and that | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
includes me and the friends I know, we thought eventually there would be | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
unit actual -- unilateral guarantee, because we didn't vote, we had no | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
control over our future as part of this country. As such, being used in | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
negotiations means that if there is no deal and Mrs May has said there | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
might be no deal, what happens to us? OK, Maria. I appreciate you | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
coming in. I think we will hear a little bit more from Theresa May. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
She has spoken with reporters in Brussels about the ongoing | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
negotiations and we can hear what she said. Last night I was pleased | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
to be able to set out what is a fair and very serious offer for EU | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
citizens who are living in the United Kingdom and the government | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
will set out more details proposals on Monday. I want to reassure all of | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
those EU citizens who are in the UK who have made their lives and homes | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
in the UK that no one will have to leave will stop we won't be seeing | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
families split apart. -- no one will have to leave. I want to give those | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
citizens in the UK certainty about the future of our lives and I want | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
to see that certainty given to UK citizens living in the European | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Union. Of course there will be details of this arrangement which | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
will be part of the negotiation process. We have made what I believe | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
is a very serious, very fair offer that will give reassurance and | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
confidence to EU citizens living in the United Kingdom about their | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
future. Many here in Brussels think they have -- you have given them | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
what they wanted, and on sequencing as well, so does that mean things | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
are going well for the EU? It was a constructive start to the talks at | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the beginning of the week. We have set out the issues that we want to | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
start talking about early in the negotiations. I have said from the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
beginning I want citizens' rights to be the early negotiations, and it | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
will be. We have set out what I believe is a serious and fair offer | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
that will give the reassurance to EU citizens in the UK that they have | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
made their homes, they have made their lives in the UK and they will | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
be able to stay and continue to do so. Thank you. Theresa May speaking | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
earlier, just a couple of moments ago, with reporters. More | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Plenty more on our website at the usual address. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast with Naga Munchetty | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Around three million EU nationals living in the UK will be allowed | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
to stay after Britain leaves the European Union, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
under proposals outlined by the Prime Minister. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Speaking at a summit in Brussels, Theresa May said that those who had | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
lived here for more than five years would be allowed continued access | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
to healthcare, education and other benefits. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
She said the deal was dependent on EU states guaranteeing Britons | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Labour has criticised the plan as "too little, too late". | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
11 residential high-rise buildings in England have been found to be | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
covered in combustible cladding, during urgent safety tests carried | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The buildings are spread across eight local authority areas, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
including Camden in north London, where cladding is now being removed | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Premier Inn has also revealed that it's concerned that cladding | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
on three of its hotels doesn't appear to meet government guidance. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Schools around the UK are having a special day to raise money | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
for those affected by the fire today. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Our correspondent Tom Burridge is at the Fulham Cross Girls' | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
School, where they've started the Green for Grenfell campaign. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
What is it about? I've got my green trousers on. I've dug up my green | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
T-shirt. Yes, my dad's old green cap. When you get dressed this | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
morning put on some green. Members of staff over their getting in the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
spirit. The idea is to show some solidarity for the ideas affect the. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
It is only a couple of miles away from here. We are in the borough of | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Kensington and Chelsea. People are getting in the spirit of things. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
What sort of message did you want to send out by doing this? I think it | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
is just really important to be able to show your solidarity and come | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
together as a community. That's something that is really important | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
for the whole of the nation, to do, in the tragic event we have had. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
We've seen some terrible terrorist incidents in the past but it is when | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
these completely preventable... It is close to home. Lots of children | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
affected. We are going to chat to all of the guys later and some of | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the girls are going to come along, because it is two schools really. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Get those photos coming in and make sure you use the hashtag. Green for | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Grenfell. A senior police officer has warned | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
that forces in England and Wales would face "real challenges" | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
in dealing with large-scale outbreaks of disorder, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
because of budget cuts. The Chief Constable | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
of West Midlands, Dave Thompson, said neighbourhood street | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
patrols would "disappear" The Home Secretary Amber Rudd has | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
acknowledged police resources are very tight, but said | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
she wouldn't rush The weather will be coming up. We | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
are also getting more comments from Theresa May. She is still in | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Brussels and she will be talking about her plans for EU nationals | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
living in the UK as well. Let's find out what's happening in | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the sport, with Mike. At youth level England's footballers | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
are pretty much dominating! De Under-20s one in their World Cup | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
recently. Now the with -- the Under-21s are doing it as well. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
If you are a really good England 19-year-old, dear play in the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Under-20s or Under-21s? -- do you play. You tend to move up | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
according to your ability, what there is flexible de according to | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
your age. If you are under-20 you play for the under-20s. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Presumably if you are good enough you play for England anyway. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
It is about bringing them all at the same pace. It is a bit complicated. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
It just struck me that there are a lot of classifications. Anyway, they | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
are doing well! They are, they are impressive. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
It's all going very well for the Young Lions. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
England's Under-21s are into the semi-finals | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
after a pretty comfortable win over the hosts Poland. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Demarai Gray hit a cracking opener, with Jacob Murphy and Lewis Baker | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
It's only two weeks since the England Under 20s won the World | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Obviously the higher we get the more important the games are and the boys | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
have been imported games before, because we had another tournament we | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
won, so we are used to playing in important matters and it is | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
fantastic for us. We are through to the semis now and fully focused. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has captured one | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
He's paid Roma about ?34 million for the Egypt winger | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Mohamed Salah, who played for Chelsea a couple of years ago. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Klopp said Salah's pace was "incredible". | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Johanna Konta declined to speak to our reporter in Birmingham, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
after being knocked out of the Aegon Classic. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
She lost in straight sets to Coco Vandeweghe in the second | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
round and said afterwards: "Just because I am seven in the world does | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
not mean I am entitled to win every single match". | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The top seed left in the men's event at Queen's is the number four | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Marin Cilic and he's safely through to quarter-finals, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
after beating Stefan Kozlov in straight sets. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
And the man who knocked out Andy Murray has now | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Australia's Jordan Thompson lost in three sets to Sam Querrey | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
They've been knocking on the door for years, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
and finally Ireland have been allowed into the elite group | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
of countries allowed to play test match cricket. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The ICC reckon Ireland and Afghanistan are now good enough, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
and it means money for grassroots and they can now play the likes | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
of England and Australia, in the five-day game. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
It could transform the way the game is seen in Ireland. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
What I am hoping is that this success and this decision today | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
will help us to become much more I guess part of the cultural | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
I might be overly ambitious to say as much as Gaelic football, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Ahead of the first test for the British and Irish Lions | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
against New Zealand tomorrow, Wales are in action right | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
It's another new line up for Wales, after they beat Tonga in Auckland, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Scott Williams has been dropped to the bench | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
for their second tour match in Apia, which kicked | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
A lot of changes for the Lions as well. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Sam Warburton, the captain, is on the bench. Hard to call that one! | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
We've got some more. Chris Froome will have | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
a really strong support crew around him, as he goes | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
for a fourth Tour de France triumph. Geraint Thomas has recovered | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
from the injuries that forced him out of the Giro d'Italia | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
so he's in the line-up. Big Orange squeezed out every last | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
drop of energy to hold off the challenge of the favourite, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Order of St George, to win the Gold If you want I can do a bit more | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
research on the under-17s, 20s and 21s. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Presumably if it is the under-21s they'd all be 20. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
I will check! It is well known that some teenage | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
girls become much less physically active, compared to boys, when they | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
get older and become more self-conscious about their | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
appearance. But researchers | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
at the University of Bristol have found the gender gap | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
opens much earlier in the first years | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
of primary school. Breakfast's Tim Muffett | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
is in Leicester this morning. He is with a group of children, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
obviously staying very active this morning. I hope you have been | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
joining in, Tim! They are staying very active. A very | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
interesting report from the University of Bristol. This drop in | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
physical activity amongst girls in particular appears to be occurring | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
earlier than people thought, from the age of eight and nine. It is | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
thought to thirds of girls are doing one-hour of exercise a day, as | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
opposed to two thirds of boys. These kids are being very active. They | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
feel the way they teach PE could either way other schools to it as | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
well. We will talk to the kids in a moment. You are an ambassador for | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
women in sport. Why is this happening? Why are girls becoming | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
less interested in sport, even in primary school? Even at that young | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
age confidence is a massive factor. It's not just the fact that all is a | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
naturally driven the sport, because there are so many more role models, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
but it's a confidence thing. They want to feel they can join in. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Simply catching the ball can sometimes be more of a challenge, so | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
we have to build confidence and work together to try to make sure we keep | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
active. According to this research, from the ages of five and six the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
rate at which girls spend more time doing nothing increases faster than | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
boys. What can be done? I don't think parents realise just how | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
little physical activity their children are doing and we know it | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
increases health and well-being. It's a case of parents and schools | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
doing more and making it part of everyday life. The kids are having a | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
great time, which is good to see. I am going to talk to Jane, the head | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
teacher and Karen who teaches PE. What have you noticed from the way | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
girls and boys interact with PE at this age? We've tried to provide a | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
range of activities, not just competitive sport, something that | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
will appeal to everyone, girls and boys. Some are competitive, some | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
arts, and we want to give them something. I think Karen is a | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
teacher who is very keen on being active, but who is dedicated to it, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
which is unusual in a primary school. Some people say you need to | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
have competitive sports and that's what kids should be doing. I think | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
they could be active in other ways. Tonight we've got 53 children | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
camping overnight, being outside and enjoy, doing team games and being | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
cooperative. Just being active in other ways. Thanks very much. Let's | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
have a chat to some of the kids. What do you think about the way PE | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
is taught here? Both girls and boys are having a great time. Does it | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
work? I think we have a brilliant system of how half the class goes to | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
PE, half of the class does work, so it really helps you work in school | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
when you are doing a lesson. In some schools it seems girls are left -- | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
less interested than boys. More girls are enthusiastic about sport | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
than some of the boys. I think it is equal parts. But sometimes it can | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
switch out. You carry on. I like this game. Keeping a ball up in the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
air on a parachute. Isabel, you are a high jump medallist. When you were | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
young were you as involved as boys, with PE? I just generally | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
enthusiastic about giving things a go trying stuff. The same went for | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
sport. At my school, in Hampshire, we had a chance to try everything | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
and it was lucky that we tried high jump because I loved it from the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
start and it suits me. I think it has being taken too seriously. You | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
do too much of one sport and it is too rigid. When you are child you | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
want to have fun. When you are an adult, you should have a chance to | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
have a taster of different sports and find what suits you. Banks very | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
much. We will talk more later. Hopefully by that point the kids | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
will be completely exhausted. He will be camping tonight in those | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
tense over there, so there will be a lot of activity today. The primary | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
school thinks they've got it right. In other schools it seems girls are | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
less interested in PE than boys. Thank you very much. The youngsters | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
camping out, what will the weather be like? | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
It will be a little damp in Glastonbury later on and I will show | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
you the forecast shortly. It is a contrasting start this morning. Look | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
at this glorious view in Hackney. Blue skies and you can see as far as | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the eye can see really but it is a different story in Cumbria. It is an | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
unpleasant wake-up when you cast aside the curtains. The rain is | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
coming from this cloud separating the warm air and a fresh conditions | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
into the weekend. It will push across Scotland. The overnight rain | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
is departing. Brighter skies working in. Light rain or drizzle in | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Northern Ireland, southern and eastern Scotland. Heavy rain in | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Cumbria. It will shift into Lancashire through the next one or | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
two hours. And rather cloudy to the east of the Pennines, only one or | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
two spots of rain, the same for Midlands. Wales is set to get wet in | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the west but across southern counties you saw the sunshine from | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Hackney. The best in East Anglia and the south-east. Cloud further west. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The cloud breaks will come and go for southernmost counties today. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Most places will be dry. As an end of sunshine. Nowhere near as hot as | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
it has been. Sunny in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Northern England | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
has rain. Not as much as this morning. Heavy rain in western | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Wales, splashes in the Midlands and some getting away dry. For many of | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
you temperatures where they should be for the time of year. It will be | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
cold in the breeze. That includes those of you in Glastonbury with 21 | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
degrees this afternoon. Much more cloud around on Saturday and that is | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
where the chance of rain comes. This cloud in central areas through the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
latter stage of Friday that will shift southwards, turning down in | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
south-west England, patchy rain or drizzle, a strengthening breeze, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
clear skies for southern Scotland and Northern Ireland but the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
recently got here and temperatures drop into single figures. Most will | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
stay in double figures and midteens in the south. It is fresher than a | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
couple of nights ago. It will be fresh into the weekend. The cold | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
front works into the near continent. Unseasonably windy weather in | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Scotland on Saturday. Gales or severe gales in Hebrides and | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Shetland. The driest and brightest south and east. Isolated showers in | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Northern Ireland. Midlands, south-west England, fairly cloudy, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
occasional rain, a little brightness. South-east corner have | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
some showers in the afternoon with temperatures in the low 20s. On | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Sunday it remains fairly windy in the north and east of Scotland. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Sunshine, one or two showers mainly in the west but most have a dry day | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
on Sunday and that sums up the weekend. It is turning fresh, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
breezy, sunny weather to get out and enjoy but one or two showers as | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
well, which will least pleased some of the gardeners anyway. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Thank you very much. See you later on. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
It's been a year since the UK voted to leave in the EU. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
With the formal Brexit negotiations now under way, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
we've sent Ben to a French cafe to see what our Brexit panel make | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Then, are we disturbing your breath as? | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
I am looking at the Brexit issues -- breakfast? We are here talking about | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
that, one year anniversary since we voted to leave the EU and what a | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
year it has been. So much debate, sunny claims and counterclaims about | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
everything that will affect the economy, jobs, import and export and | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
some say it is for the better, some say for the worst. We will talk | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
about those issues in a moment but here is a reminder of that mulchers | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
24 hours. And that's the result of this referendum which has been | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
preceded by weeks and months of argument and dispute and all the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
rest of it, the people have spoken and the answer is, we are out. The | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
British people have made a very clear decision to take a different | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
path and as such I think the country requires fresh leadership to take it | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
in this direction. It is a victory for ordinary people, decent people, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
it is a victory against the merchant banks, against big businesses and | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
against the politics. With me to talk through some of those issues | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
are voters on the Breakfast Brexit panel and on one site I have those | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
who voted to leave and on the other I have those who voted to remain. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
There is a lotta get through. Lindsay, let me start with you. You | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
have been worried about the economy with running your business. What | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
does Brexit mean for the economy and where are we 12 months on? 12 months | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
on we have an economy where the pound is still very low, there is no | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
stability really in investments and with my business, as a business | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
person, I have a portfolio, I have some money and I want to travel and | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
it is costing a lot of money. And for the people I work with, they are | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
over 50, they are in the same boat as me. Some want to enjoy their | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
lives and the economy is costing more money the way it is right now. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
And also some of the people I work with want is that our businesses. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
They need to clear about the trading partners, how do we get supplies, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
where are we going to sell them to? I think Brexit right now we are not | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
in a happy place. Not in a happy place, David. Is it fair when we | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
look at the economy and the uncertainty? That charming young | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
lady has a negative stance on life. I am upbeat. Let me try and explain | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
why. The fact remains we have had instability. For the economy in the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
UK to perform as well as it has we have put the establishment to the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
sword. And although growth is coming down and inflation is up at 2.9% | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
what happened with Mrs May and the European Union yesterday should be | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
uplifting. This problem of immigration and whether we will get | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the people we need for education and for the scientific and technology, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
farmers and the rest of them, that hopefully is a worry of the past. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Some clarity on that issue when it comes to migration and rights for | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
workers and no clarity on the trade deal we will have, the relationship | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
we will have in the single market, what it will mean for imports and | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
exports - there is no clarity. To ask for clarity is silly. What I am | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
trying to say is we love each individual European country because | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
we do lots of business with them. We don't like what the European Union | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
stands for. There are 169 trading nations around the world that I | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
would like to embrace. We have treated the Commonwealth | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
disgracefully over the last 25 years. The United States of America, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Mr Trump will prove difficult, but there are things to be done. South | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
America, how joyous, Africa, Asia, let's embrace these people and carry | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
on with the relationship with the European Union as individual | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
countries. Don't expect much from the single market. Don't expect much | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
from the customs union. Deal with each country on its merit. David | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
says we are being negative about this. Should business be optimistic | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
and think, we are in a position, it will happen, we will leave the EU | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
and we had to find opportunities? Although I voted to remain, when the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
vote was taken I was optimistic myself and I thought, let's embrace | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
it and do the best we can to move on. The period of instability right | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
now I didn't expect. I didn't expect it to go on for so long. I expect it | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
to hear something about plans. Early on we didn't hear anything about the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
plans. How are we moving on without that? I think the instability is | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
taking confidence away from people. Lindsay and David, and we will speak | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
with lands and Damien as well. The debate will continue here over | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
coffee -- Lance. Loss for us to talk about. Join us again after eight M. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
I will see you then -- 8am. The population of Somerset will soar | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
by more than a third over the next few days, as the Glastonbury | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Festival gets into full swing. Can you imagine that happening with | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
where you live? 135,000 music lovers have been | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
arriving at Worthy Farm, where Radiohead will headline | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the Pyramid Stage this evening. But security at the event has been | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
stepped up this year, And that is the live picture that | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
you can see this morning, it is slightly cloudy and you have a sense | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
of the immediate area in front of the stage, empty at the moment and | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
then in the distance you can see all of the campus and festival-goers. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Organisers have taken in concerns in light of recent Manchester and | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
London attacks and that has been stepped up this year. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
For years, there's been significant security surrounding | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Recent events mean there's now a lot more. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
As thousands of people come in to the festival, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
And it's not just at the entry points - across the festival site, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
security are checking out random individuals, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
along with a police presence that's hard to miss. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The organisers try to make sure festival-goers feel safe | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The people here feel they've got the balance just right. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Everyone's here for everyone else, we're all looking after each other | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Although there was a bit more security and a little bit more time | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
getting through the gates, it is for a really good reason | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
and I think everyone is just having a great time and behaving really | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
well and everyone is being so kind to each other. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
None it seems to have taken away from the reason, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
of course, that people come here - the music. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The main stages don't get properly under way until later | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
And being here is an experience that is enjoyed by people | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
And I'm coming here for the first time while I'm still young enough | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
What is the atmosphere been like - what you expected? | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Yes, but far, far better than what I expected. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
This is our first time and it's just absolutely stunning. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Everywhere you look, there's something to look at. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Many people leave here with great memories. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Few can say theirs are as special as this, though, Dan | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
surprising his girlfriend Emily with an on-stage marriage proposal. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Tell me what it means to you, this happening here of all places. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
It is where we met, it is the most beautiful place ever, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
With the increased security, some festival-goers may be feeling | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
more anxious than in previous years but so far, those worries don't seem | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
We'll be back live at Glastonbury in about half an hour. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
We will wake up some campers. I am sure they will be | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast, with Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Giving EU citizens the right to stay in the UK after Brexit - | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the Prime Minister says around three million people could get | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
She unveiled the plan at her first summit since the general election - | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
but the Labour Party says it's "too little, too late." | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
We won't be seeing families split apart. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
It's a year since the UK voted to leave the EU So as the formal | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Brexit negotiations get under way I'm at this Continental | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
patisserie this morning with our Breakfast Brexit panel | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
looking at what the vote has meant for them and for the country. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Good morning. It's Friday 23rd June. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
As hundred of buildings are tested after the Grenfell Fire - | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
combustible cladding is found on 11 tower blocks in England | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
and Premier Inn says it's extremely concerned about three of its hotels. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The PE gender gap, as research finds that two-thirds of girls under nine | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
are failing to be active for one hour a day. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
In sport, the Young Lions roar again. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
England's Under-21s reach the semi-finals | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
of their European Championship, just two weeks after the Under | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
135,000 people will descend on Worthy Farm as | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the Glastonbury Festival gets underway with heightened security. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The Glastonbury forecast for the next few days and sums it up for all | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
of us, dry, a little bit of sunshine, but also a little bit of | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
rain and a strengthening breeze. Around three million EU nationals | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
living in the UK will be allowed to stay after Britain leaves | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the European Union, under proposals Speaking at a summit in Brussels, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Theresa May said that those who had lived here for more than five years | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
would be allowed continued access to health care, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
education and other benefits. Our Europe Correspondent Damian | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Grammaticus is in Brussels The Prime Minister has been speaking | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
in the last few minutes about what she has proposed. She has. She was | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
arriving again for the morning session here at the summit, putting | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the broad outlines of the proposal on the table yesterday in front of | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
other leaders and laid out, as you were saying, a plan that would see | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
roughly 3 million people who are there legally now, before Brexit, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
having the chance to stay permanently in the future with some | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
rights guaranteed. She was asked about that this morning. We have set | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
out the issues that you want to start talking about in early | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
negotiations. I have said right from the beginning that I want citizens | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
rights to be one of those early negotiations, and it will be. We | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
have set out what I believe is a serious and fair offer that will | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
give reassurance to EU citizens living in the UK. They have made | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
their homes and lives in the UK and they will be able to stay and | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
continue to do so. She is saying that she has set out a serious | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
offer. Sometimes when you set out your offer it leads to more | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
questions. The first question people asked of her was, if the cut off | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
date for EU citizens arriving in the UK to get this new settled status | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
would be March 2019. She was asked that question, so what is the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
cut-off date? Are we clear about what it is? No, we are not. Because | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the proposal as we know it has a range in which it could fall. It | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
could be the date Article 50 was triggered, that was in the past, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
earlier this year. Or it could be Brexit 's day itself. Almost two | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
years' time, the date the UK leaves. That's something the EU has insisted | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
on from the outset, saying you shouldn't treat somebody differently | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
who comes today from somebody who has been in the UK since last year. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
That would be discriminating against people who all have the same rights | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
at the minute. That's one area of contention when things are not | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
clear. Another area of contention where I think the EU will be | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
concerned, because remember the EU has tabled its own proposal that has | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
been on the table for a few weeks. That proposal guarantees all | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
existing rights for UK citizens in the EU and EU citizens in the UK. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
That includes more rights than this would. In particular what the EU | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
will look at is who does it extend to. It's offer said it should extend | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
to children, future spouses. They should enjoy the same rights. The | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
other thing that's clear, the EU says it should be policed by -- the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
UK says it should be policed by UK courts in the future. The EU says | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
it's overseen by the European Court of Justice at the moment, and it | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
should continue to be so. Some people are saying they are glad this | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
is on the table, they are glad there is a promise not to deport people, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
people will not be asked to leave the UK, but they want to see the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
details. That's what the Austrian Chancellor said last night. Damian | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Grammaticas reporting from Brussels this morning. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
11 residential high-rise buildings in England have been found to be | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
covered in combustible cladding - this after urgent safety | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
tests were carried out following the Grenfell Tower fire. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The buildings are spread across eight local authority areas, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
including Camden in North London, where cladding is now being removed | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Premier Inn has also revealed that its concerned | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Here are more details from our correspondent Tom Burridge. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
It took a tragedy to change fire safety in Britain. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
It's so frustrating that we have been asking for the building | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
regulations to be reviewed every year, to nothing at all has | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Already, in another London borough, they're stripping off cladding | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The cladding here is similar to that used on Grenfell Tower. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Camden Council claims it was misled, and was told cladding used on these | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The cladding will be a key part of the investigation | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
its outer skin was aluminium composite material. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The best cladding has a mineral core, which doesn't burn. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
But the core at Grenfell Tower was polyethylene, which might have | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
been a factor that caused the fire to spread. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The government says it's now testing 600 buildings, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
but there are reviews under way on privately owned buildings, too. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Premier Inn has told the BBC that three of its hotels did not appear | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
to comply with government guidelines for tall buildings. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The company said it had received independent expert advice | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
that the hotels could stay open given other fire safety measures. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
But many other buildings owned by others elsewhere could be | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Yesterday, the Prime Minister, booed again, on a visit | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The deadly fire at Grenfell Tower will change how buildings are built. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The political legacy is still unravelling. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
A senior police officer has warned that forces in England and Wales | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
would face "real challenges" in dealing with large-scale | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
outbreaks of disorder, because of budget cuts. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The Chief Constable of West Midlands, Dave Thompson, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
said neighbourhood street patrols would "disappear" unless there | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The Home Secretary, Amber Rudd, has acknowledged police | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
resources are "very tight" - but said she wouldn't "rush" | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Virgin Media has told its 800,000 customers | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
to change their passwords to prevent their | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
An investigation by Which? found that hackers could breach | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
security on the Virgin's Super Hub 2 router. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The hackers were then able to control other smart appliances | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
including a child's toy and home CCTV cameras. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Facebook has revealed new plans to tackle extremism by educating | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
charities and other organisations on how to counter "hate speech". | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The social media giant has launched the "Online Civil | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Courage Initiative", which it says will allow charities | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
and other non-profit organisations to share their experiences | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
of extremism and develop ways to tackle the issue | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The planned new nuclear power plant at Hinkley Point is both | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
risky and expensive, according to the National Audit Office. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The public spending watchdog says the benefits of the plant | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
are uncertain and the deal was not good value for money. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
State-controlled firms in France and China are paying the project's | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The government says Hinkley Point is an "important strategic decision" | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
and will provide clean and reliable electricity, powering | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The 35th Glastonbury Festival gets officially underway today | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
with heightened security after recent terror attacks. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |

Hollywood star Johnny Depp caused controversy last night | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
during a special appearance, when he made a joke | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
When was the last time an actor assassinated a president? | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
We'll be live at Glastonbury in about 15 minutes time. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
A Second World War veteran's appealing for the return | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
of his service medals after losing them at a motorway service station | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
95-year-old Alfred Barlow had stopped off on the way back | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
from a pilgrimage to Normandy when he realised they were missing. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
His grandson retraced their steps but they were nowhere to be seen. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
I'm so proud of them. I earned them. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
I earned them in battle, and it means... | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
They're priceless to me in monetary terms. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
That's heartbreaking, Alfred Barlow speaking there, so if anyone in the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
West Midlands comes across them, or perhaps knows anybody who comes | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
across them, please get in touch. The weekend weather is coming up in | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
a few minutes time. 79 people are presumed dead | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
or missing after the Grenfell tower block fire, but as politicians | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
and experts search for the cause, concerns are being raised about how | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
many other buildings could be This morning, we've heard that | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Premier Inn is concerned about the cladding in | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
some of its buildings. Surveyor and fire safety specialist, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Arnold Tarling joins us now. Good morning. We will talk about the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
local authority buildings in a moment. The premiere in our talking | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
about their own buildings. -- the Premier Inn. Any authority will be | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
asking about cladding on their buildings. High-rise and low-rise. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
It's more dangerous in high rise but it poses a greater risk in low-rise. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
I have never had any problems setting fire to timber, so these | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
materials affect low rises as well. People are putting flammable | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
materials on their houses. Expanded polystyrene protected by wafer thin | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
silicon render. How is this allowed? I thought there would be regulations | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
to protect us in public, private buildings, commercially owned | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
buildings. If you are saying it's dangerous, why are they allowed to | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
be put up. Because they comply with building regulations. Why aren't the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
regulations more stringent if you advise that they are not safe | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
enough? Because advisers are not telling government ministers that | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
they need to be changed. They have had warnings time and time again. My | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
minister was a taxi driver. I don't expect my minister to expect | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
building regulations. I don't expect him to have a clue about it, but he | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
is the mouthpiece you see talking about it, and he is reliant on his | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
experts behind him. You are only as good as your experts. What's | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
emerging now is that successive governments were in possession of | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
information from a fire safety experts that certain materials were | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
combustible, but the building regulations carried on allowing them | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
to be used legally in tall buildings. Yes, they did. The | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
regulations for 2000, word for word identical in regards to this kind of | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
cladding. In 2006 as well, and it was revised in 2010 and 2013, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
without revising anything about cladding. It's missed opportunity | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
after missed opportunity. We had a fire in 2009 and it was declared by | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the adviser to the government in that inquest that the materials | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
there, which burned through in four or five minutes, complied with | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
building regulations. That was 2009. Its 2017 now and nobody has done a | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
thing who could and should have done things. There was a review but there | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
were questions over how much the recommendations in the review have | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
been followed. We have heard this morning from -- Premier that it is | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
concerned about three of its buildings. They have taken a look in | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
materials in its buildings. Three of its buildings. How important is it | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
that private buildings look at their businesses now and say they are | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
taking action on this? I take my hat off to premiere in, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
they have shown they are caring for their customers. If there is any | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
other building owner out there who hasn't yet started checking their | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
buildings to see whether they are safe, they should start today. There | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
is no time to lose. Talk us through the checking procedure. That is the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
business happening now. How do you go about checking the outside of a | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
building to see if it presents a danger? You basically have to do | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
invasive opening up, you can take a core sample through, taking care not | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
to overheat the material. Literally cutting a hole in the material? Yes, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
you can cut a hole in the material, or remove a panel completely. Some | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
panels are easier to remove than others. You also have to consider | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
that the panel might be OK. But what is the material behind it? I did a | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
survey on an eight story block in south-east London, built by a major | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
blogging company, Countrywide building company. And when I went in | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
there I was looking at damp. I was asked to look in the power sockets | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
to the party wall, but warned that divides your property from your | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
neighbour. And I opened it up, all I could see behind was a plastic bag | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
box, only half a millimetre thick, I took that outcome I could see the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
one next door. The fireproofing material that should have been there | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
wasn't. The fire could spread through. Then we have a wall taken | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
down to the outside, the party wall. Two layers of plasterboard either | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
side. The external cavity wall only had one layer of plasterboard. We | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
took it down. I could see all the way along the building, every single | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
flat. When I then tested the material behind the window, I took | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
some outcome a ticket to a safe place and set it on fire, it was | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
highly flammable polyurethane, which releases dense, black toxic smoke. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
This is why I am saying, it is not just cladding, it is every form of | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
material on the outside of the building, is that safe? I just want | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
to make clear, did you mention the company named there? I did not | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
mention the company name. It has been really interesting talking to | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
you, an old. Thank you for your thoughts. Many people concerned, and | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
as you said, investigations are ongoing. Let's hope people can stay | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
saving their homes. Thank you. 8:17, we will take a moment to spend | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
some time with Matt. How does it look today? | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Someone has hacked the Sommer reset button -- Sommer reset button. Some | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
. This is Sussex. Same in Scotland, in between grey skies, and nothing | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
says some are like grey skies and rain over Blackpool at the moment. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
But it will not rain here all day long. As possible for the rain, an | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
area of cloud, a strip of cloud pushing southwards. Right whether to | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
this out of it, and fresh whether in the North. Patchy rain over Scotland | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
and Northern Ireland, light and patchy, departing in the next couple | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
of hours or so. Rather grey across northern England, wettest weather to | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
take us into mid-morning, clearing from Cumbria and will be across | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
parts of Manchester, Lancashire, not too much rain in Merseyside into | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Cheshire. Rain getting heavier over the west of Wales, dry to the east, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
if you showers in the Midlands, much of southern England and East Anglia, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
a positive start. Some breaks in the cloud. Coming and going through the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
day. The sunshine will be pleasant, but a breeze and fresher than you | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
are used to lately. Rain in northern England, with you through the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
afternoon, light and patchy this morning. Mainly to the west of the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Pennines, wet across western areas of Wales. Scotland and Northern | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Ireland continued to see dry weather develop, and Sunny spells. Highs of | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
20 to the East of Scotland. 22-24 to the south-east. In between, it will | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
be Glastonbury, 21. Sunshine today, cloud at times through the weekend. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Dry weather to come. Dry rain coming to Glastonbury and southern parts of | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
England through tonight. The area of rain will push into the south-west, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
mainly light rain with a bit of a breeze to take that into Saturday | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
morning. Rain at times in the north and Midlands, dry to the south-east | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
corner, mild here. A fresh start to Scotland and Northern Ireland. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Breezy on Saturday, overall pressure pushing to the North, and for | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Shetland and Orkney, and the Hebrides, severe gales. Central | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Scotland could see gales. Sunny spells, one or two showers. Cloud | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
and rain in northern England, brightening up later on. Patchy | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
drizzle towards the south. That will clear and one or two showers later, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
nice in the sunshine, but temperatures on the way down, and | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
further into Sunday, windy conditions to the north and east, a | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
view showers in the west, and a good day for all of you. Dry and | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
reasonably sunny weather. Not as hot as it has been lately. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
I am fairly pleased about that, I like the hot weather, but the people | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
in Kents. A bit of rain, but not too bad. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Just a drizzle. That is good news for all of us. What are we showing | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
you now? Camp is getting ready for a weekend | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
of music. No mud so far. In the foreground, you can see the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
main stage area, in the distance you can see all the campers. Almost | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
everyone asleep at this stage. Lizo is there for us, chatting to some of | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
those already set up. Good morning. Good morning. The festival site is | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
beginning to wake up. It has been going for the past couple of hours, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
people enjoying the breezy and warm start to the day. The main event | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
gets on later on the Pyramid stage. It will begin with a minute of | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
silence, remembering people who lost their lives in recent tragic events | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
both in Manchester and London. Of course, tied into that, people have | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
been noticing much more security around the site, bag searches as | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
they come in, searches across the festival area. It doesn't seem to be | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
harming many people's enjoyment of the festival itself so far. They | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
here for the music. It starts later. The is waiting up. I am joined by a | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
customary regular and a newbie. This is your first Glastonbury, what do | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
you make of it so far? It is nice and chill out. It is Britain at its | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
best. Everyone getting along and there are no issues. Martin, your | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
fourth. Yeah, I came a while back when Amy Whitehouse was here. I am | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
looking forward to this one. It is a mixed cross-section of music. How | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
are you finding the security so far? Has it interfered and how does it | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
make you feel? Yesterday, it was so quiet coming in, but they were firm, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
but not aggressive. Nice and friendly. Everything was searched | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
pretty well. What kind of music are you looking forward to today? Who is | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
your new Glastonbury list? Ed Sheeran is a favourite with his | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
modern ballads. I have some mates DJ in, Shuffle, an eclectic mix of | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
music. I have a diverse taste, anything from the Jacksons to the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Foo Fighters, I can't wait to get started. Is that one of the good | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
things about Glastonbury? The range of stuff? Coming with a big group of | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
people, you have different tastes. You can do your own thing but you | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
come together at the end of the night. It is cool like that. Using | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
you will come again based on your experience? I was chatting to my | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
sister a minute ago. We will come again. She is hiding at the back! We | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
won't embarrass her on-screen. Thank you very much for talking to us. The | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
one thing that Glastonbury is just as famous for as music is mud. As | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
you say, the good weather has been greeted with absolute huge smiles | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
across the site. They are looking forward to a music field and a mud | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
free weekend here in Somerset. Someone has a big armchair in the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
background. They have come supplied. There's full coverage | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
from Glastonbury all weekend across the BBC | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
on TV, online and radio. You're watching Breakfast. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Still to come this morning: It's exactly a year since the UK | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
voted to leave the EU. Ben is discussing what next | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
for Brexit at a French cafe Good morning to you, welcome to west | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
London. 12 months since we voted to leave the European Union, what a 12 | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
months it has been. All sort of debate and claims, counterclaims | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
about what wrecks it will mean for us, what it will mean for our | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
day-to-day lives. What could it mean for our economy, jobs, imports and | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
exports. We are here speaking to our regular panel of Brexit voters. Good | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
morning, guys. We will speak to them later for you because it is | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
interesting, the divide. Two Leavers and two Remainers. Remember, there | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
is so much to be determined. We heard from Theresa May giving some | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
clarity on the future for the 3 million or so EU citizens here in | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the UK. They will be offered what is cold UK -- called UK settled status. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Some clarity on that score, because of course, we still need to hear | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
from the 27 remaining states. At the same time, lots of uncertainty | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
around imports and exports, will we be part of the single market? Will | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
we still be a member of some of the key organisations that we belong to? | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Will there be funding for development? All those questions are | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
still unanswered. The business and individuals, workers and staff, a | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
lot of uncertainty still. We are here this morning speaking to | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
voters. We have spoken to local people in this area about what it | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
could mean for them. There is a feeling that perhaps if there was | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
another vote, some people would vote to change their mind. We will get | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
more from here later, but before that, let's get the news, travel and | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
weather wherever you are having breakfast this morning. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
I'm back with the latest from the BBC London | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Plenty more on our website at the usual address. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Now though it's back to Charlie and Naga. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
It is 830 and morning. The main news: | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Around three million EU nationals living in the UK will be allowed | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
to stay after Brexit, under proposals outlined | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
At a summit in Brussels, Theresa May said that those who have | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
lived here for more than five years would be allowed continued | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
access to health care, education and other benefits. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Mrs May said the deal was dependent on EU states guaranteeing | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
We've set out the issues that we want to start talking | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
I've said right from the beginning that I want citizens' rights to be | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
one of those early negotiations, and it will be. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
We've set out what I believe is a serious offer, a fair offer, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
that will give the reassurance to EU citizens living in the UK. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
They've made their homes, they've made their lives in the UK, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
and they will be able to stay and continue to do so. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
11 residential high-rise buildings in England have been found to be | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
covered in combustible cladding, during urgent safety tests carried | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The buildings are spread across eight local authority areas, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
including Camden in north London, where cladding is now being removed | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Premier Inn has also revealed that it's concerned that cladding | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
on three of its hotels doesn't appear to meet Government guidance. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
A senior police officer has warned that forces in England and Wales | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
would face "real challenges" in dealing with large-scale | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
outbreaks of disorder because of budget cuts. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The Chief Constable of West Midlands, Dave Thompson, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
said neighbourhood street patrols would "disappear" unless there | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
The Home Secretary, Amber Rudd, has acknowledged police | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
resources are "very tight", but said she wouldn't "rush" | :56:49. | :56:48. | |

Second World War veteran is appealing for the return of his | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
medals after losing them as a service station in the West | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Midlands. Alfred Barlow had stopped off on the way back from a | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
pilgrimage to Normandy when he realised they were missing. His | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
grandson retraced their steps, but they were nowhere to be seen. I am | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
so proud of them. I earned them. I earned them in battle, and they are | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
priceless to me in monetary terms. 95-year-old Alfred Barlow there, we | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
will try to get details on the website said that if you know | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
anybody in the West Midlands who could help look out for those | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
medals, please get in touch via our website. A couple of other stories | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
for you this morning: The planned new nuclear power plant | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
at Hinkley Point is both risky and expensive, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
according to the The public spending watchdog says | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the benefits of the plant are uncertain and the deal was not | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
good value for money. State-controlled firms in France | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
and China are paying the project's ?18 billion construction bill, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
which the Government says is an "important | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
strategic decision". Have you got that Friday feeling | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
this morning, Charlie? It is coming up! A gorilla with a Friday feeling. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
This is Zola, a break-dancing gorilla at Dallas Zoo in the US. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
It turns out there's a lot more to his moves than you might think. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Zola is actually taking part in a swimming pool enrichment | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
session, which helps provide mental and physical stimulation | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
For Zola, it means spinning in his favourite blue pool. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
I want to see it again! Zola loves that pool. We will see it again, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
just because it's Friday! This is how you start off, you wash your | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
hands. Then you spin! I love it, it is like a corkscrew, and then the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
arms start going. I want a blue pool. So happy. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
That's amazing. You can see the faces of all of us in here. I | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
thought at first that was an animation, but it's real. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Incredible. If you can just enjoy things like that, no point worrying | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
about anything else! What else is coming up on BRCA is here this | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
morning? -- on breakfast here this morning? | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
And coming up here on Breakfast this morning: Why do so many girls lose | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
interest in keeping physically fit and active by the age of nine? | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
We'll be at a school that's trying out new ways to reverse the trend. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Strictly Come Dancing's Giovanni Pernice will be here to tell us | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
about his new tour and his chances of lifting the famous | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
It's the legendary diamond with a murky past that some | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
We'll speak to the writers who've investigated just how the Koh-i-Noor | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Zola is the one who has made my day this morning. And proof that | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
gorillas don't get dizzy. Gorillas don't get dizzy? Was that previously | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
known scientific fact they don't? I didn't know, but it is out there | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
now! We will have to get on the Internet again now! Do gorillas get | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
dizzy? Dogs don't get dizzy. I was meant to be expending to you about | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the under 21 football team. You do that, because Charlie is researching | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
whether gorillas get dizzy! Since we talked about the very | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
successful under 21 team, it has emerged that three of the squad are | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
23. You have to be under 21 at the start of the tournament cycle, so | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
they are in the European Championships now, but when the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
qualifying matches started two years ago, they had to be under 21, so now | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
several are 23. But that doesn't make sense. Add two years to 20, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
that is 22. Under 21 means you can be 21 or under. Tammy Abraham is was | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
19, could have played for the under 20s, but is now with the under 21 | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
is, because another part of it is that you can be moved up. So Theo | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Walcott play for them when he was 17. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Dizzy gorillas! While Charlie looks at dizzy gorillas... | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Whatever their ages, it's all going very well | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
for the Young Lions - England's Under 21s | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
are into the semifinals of the European Championship | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
after a pretty comfortable win over the hosts, Poland. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Demarai Gray hit a cracking opener, with Jacob Murphy and Lewis Baker, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
It's only two weeks since the England Under | :56:49. | :56:48. | |

Sam Davies has kicked them back in after they went down, it is 10-6 to | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the hosts at half-time. Johanna Konta declined to speak | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
to our reporter in Birmingham after being knocked out of the Aegon | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Classic. She lost in straight | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
sets to CoCo Vanderweghe in the second round, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
and said afterwards, "Just because I am seven in the world does | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
not mean I am entitled to win every They've been knocking | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
on the door for years, and finally Ireland have been | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
admitted into the elite group of countries allowed | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
to play Test match cricket. The ICC reckon Ireland | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
and Afghanistan are now good enough, and it means money for grassroots | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
cricket, and they can now play Test matches against the best, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
which could transform the way What I am hoping is that this | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
success and this decision today will help us to become much more | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
I guess part of the cultural I might be overly ambitious to say | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
as much as Gaelic football, The legendary BBC cricket | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
commentator Henry Blofeld has He's 78 and "All good things come | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
to an end," he said in a statement. "After nearly 50 years in the Test | :56:49. | :56:48. | |

it all feels so calm. Wonderful observation. Now, we have had | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Arscott this week. And talking of horses - of sorts - | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
it's got tens of thousands, of mainly girls, more active | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
in sport in Finland, and now hobby horse show jumping, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
has arrived in the UK with the first national championships taking place | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
this weekend, near Reading. The stick or hobbie horses, are low | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
maintenance and this gives those, who can't afford a real horse | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
or don't usually ride, the chance to get involved in show jumping - | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
to go for a clear round, Of course I was tempted to have a | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
go. On tomorrow's programme see | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
what happened when I joined the British hopefuls in training | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
as the fences got higher - not as big as they are in Finland | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
though where the competition gets very intense, especially in inner | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
cities, and there's now a movie About how this has inspired | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
so many to be more active. Very important. And that is exactly | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
what we are going to talk about next. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Did you find out? Obviously there is no research into | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
whether gorillas... But I did find out that there has been research | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
into why jarrah is don't, you know when you bend down and then you | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
stand up suddenly and you feel funny, there has been research into | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
that, and giraffes don't get that. They have got long necks! We are not | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
going to get into this. We are talking about PA. I think this is a | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
little bit more sensible. It is well known that teenage girls | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
can become much less physically active than boys as they become more | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
self-conscious about But researchers at the University | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
of Bristol have found the gender gap opens much earlier - | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
in the first years Breakfast's Tim Muffett | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
is in Leicester this morning. Jade in his dribbling the ball, and | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
is he going to school? He gets past me. In the teenage years it has been | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
well documented that girls tend to lose interest in sport quickly, but | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
new research, as you say, suggests that lack of interest is kicking in | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
far earlier, from the age of nine, even before then. At this school, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
they are doing things differently. Here is a little film put together | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
by Kate Hardcastle, an ambassador for women in sport, highlighting | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
this issue. As a mum, and as someone who's | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
passionate about sports and all it can bring us, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
I am determined to understand how we can support our young people | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
with getting engaged Research by the University | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
of Bristol shows that, by the age of eight, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
only one third of girls are meeting the recommended hour | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
of physical activity per day, but the figure for | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
boys is two thirds. For a lot of girls, they don't | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
have the same movement literacy throwing and catching, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
they don't feel as confident taking So we need to build their | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
confidence, make them see that activity is for them, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
and it's not going to be a single solution, it's going to be creating | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
a broad offer that has lots of different options for kids | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
to be active at different points across the day, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
in different settings The Youth Sports Trust is one | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
organisation specifically It's helping teachers | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
understand what drives women's Then, secondly, how do we offer | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
training for teachers to help them find different ways to engage | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
women and girls? Most primary schools | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
are of course mixed, and many are getting involved | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
with new initiatives. The Premier League recently launched | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
their Primary Stars programme, linking learning with sport, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
and the Daily Mile is a campaign to encourage children to run | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
or walk a mile a day. Probably the most important thing | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
parents can do is just talk about physical activity | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
to their children. Find out why their children do | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
or don't like physical activity, and try and talk | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
about the importance of it to them. When we play sport it's | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
like we become this massive family working towards winning and just | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
pulling together, and it just creates a friendship | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
bond, and it's so nice. We know we need to engage children, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
particularly our girls, at a younger age to make sure that | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
movement and sport remains part of their life ongoing, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
for better well-being, better health, and better | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
social interaction. Interesting stuff. This is Stokes | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Wood primary School in Leicester, and the kids are having a great | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
time. This involves throwing balls up with the help of a big parachute. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Tonight the kids will be camping in the field as well. Jane Gadsby is | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the headteacher. Why is this an issue with regards to girls losing | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
interest in sport early? What we try to do is try to provide a wide range | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
of activities. Not everybody wants to be competitive, but we do want | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
everybody to be physically active, so we have invested in a PE teacher | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
who is dedicated to make sure that every child gets a chance to find | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
something that they like doing which is active. Competitive sport is | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
important, though, isn't it? It is, but you can still teach all the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
values of competitive sport through other ways, in team building, it | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
doesn't have to be competitive. The ethos of sport, being the best you | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
can be, transfers and aspects of their lives. We will have a look at | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
this around here, because these kids are certainly very active, and as | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Jane was saying, this focuses on a different approach to PE. Let's have | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
a chat to Isabel Pooley, Commonwealth silver high jumper. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
When you were at school, were girls losing interest in sports earlier | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
than boys? For girls there is a definite | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
problem with self image, too much focus on what you look like, but it | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
doesn't matter, what you feel like is what matters, your experience. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Sport is taking some time for yourself to feel empowered, take | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
ownership of your body, then you can go into the rest of your day feeling | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
on top of the world, that is what it is for me. In the teenage years, it | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
has been well-documented, the lack of interest among girls, but why is | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
it happening earlier? Some research saves from the age of five and six | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
girls are moving away from sport much faster than boys? It is | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
probably a question of role models, girls tend to focus on people within | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
their community who are more attainable, they have something in | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
common with and can relate to, so we need to put those people in front of | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
our girls, whereas boys will look at people on TV, footballers, for | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
example, whereas girls need real people and real faces that they can | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
aspire to. I will let you carry on. Guys, are you enjoying the game? | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Yes. Is this better than a game like hockey or tennis or something like | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
that? Yes, it is more fun, you can see everyone and it is more relaxing | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
and easy. Both girls and boys enjoyed the year, don't you? Yes, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
both girls and boys do like PE. Very impressive skills here. This | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
research from the age of nine, it is thought, girls doing, two thirds of | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
girls not doing an hour's physical activity a day as opposed to one | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
third boys, one approach may be less competitive. Controversial, perhaps, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
but they are certainly having fun. Tim, feel free to run under the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
big... Flapping... What is it called?! Parachute? | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
OK, come on! My goodness, it is like being at Glastonbury, but kind of | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
different to being at Glastonbury. See, that is a beautiful shot! | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Thank you, Tim, that is lovely. And everyone else joined him as well! | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Banks, Tim. Let's find out what is happening with the weather. Matt, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
you have a couple of girls, it is interesting looking at getting them | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
into sport, it does not matter how you look, enjoying all sports on | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
offer. I think they are right, get them to | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
try everything rather than forcing something. My two are certainly | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
different in what they like. And the weather today is different depending | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
where you are. Our Weather Watcher was waking up to boot. This morning, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
plenty of other Weather Watchers not as lucky, particularly here in | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Cumbria, raining quite happily so far today, things improving a little | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
bit there but the rain is on the move southwards. Let's show you the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
satellite imagery, this strip of white cloud, fresh air coming in | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
behind that so into parts of Scotland we have fresh air in place, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
still a pleasant day, cooler air this weekend, sunny spells across | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
parts of Scotland. Some graphics trouble there. Part of Scotland will | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the sunny spells developed over the next few hours. North-west England, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Wales, the Midlands, there will be rain into the afternoon, but | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Southern counties dry with sunny spells coming and going and a bright | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
afternoon for Scotland and Northern Ireland. Temperatures around where | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
they should be for the time of year but warmest across East Anglia and | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the south-east, pleasant in the sunshine but probably feels a bit | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
cool for you, as it will do at Glastonbury. But Glastonbury is | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
getting away with a decent weekend, turning cooler and breezy through | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the weekend, Saturday could be a bit of rain here and there, coming from | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
this zone of cloud which is moving southwards, certainly by the end of | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the night patchy rain, drizzle, a bit of a breeze, rain at times in | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
northern England, South East and Anglia a bit drier, a fresh start | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
across Scotland and Northern Ireland, and fairly windy, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
unseasonably windy across Scotland on Saturday. Hebrides, Shetland | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
close to the low pressure could see wind close to severe gale force, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
even gale force gusts through the central belt, suntan and showers, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
dry in Northern Ireland, northern England will brighten up after a | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
cloudy and damp start, patchy rain and drizzle moving into England and | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Wales and across the south, including Glastonbury, there could | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
be one or two showers to finish the day, temperatures for all nudging | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
down a degree day by day. As it will be into Sunday, still blustery, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
worse to the East of Scotland and North East England, many will have a | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
predominantly dry day on Sunday, the best of the sunshine will be to | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
central and eastern areas but compared to the heat we have had | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
this week, the thunderstorms have reset the weather back to normal, it | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
will be nice in the sunshine but cool at times in the breeze and we | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
may get some rain. Enjoy your weekend. Are those normal | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
temperatures for this time of year? Some people will be a little bit | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
below but not far off average for this point in June. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Well, we have had a lot of heat, we can have a little break for now. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Thanks, Matt. Thousands of children across the UK | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
will be heading to school this morning dressed in green to raise | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
money and awareness for those affected by last week's | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
fire at Grenfell Tower. The "Green For Grenfell" campaign | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
was started on social media by Fulham College Academy Trust | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
after an ex-pupil went missing in the fire, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
and more than 100 schools are now Our correspondent Tom | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Burridge joins us now Appropriately dressed in green! | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
I have done my bit, green trousers, dug out a green top and even found | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
my dad's old green cap, and the guys here have given me a green ribbon | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
because it is "Green For Grenfell", you have to get dressed up in green, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
people across the country are doing it and Fulham College is behind it. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Not a bad effort from the guys this morning, AJ is the king of green so | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
far! Lets chat to the headteacher, Peter Haylock. What was it that | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
moved you to come up with this initiative? It was the students that | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
started it, they came to us last week and wanted to do something to | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
show solidarity for the students and other schools in the borough that | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
have been badly affected. We are only a couple of miles from Grenfell | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Tower, lots of other schools, children from those schools were in | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the tower. Absolutely and some of my colleagues have had to do the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
unthinkable, go into schools this week and speak to children about the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
fact that some of their friends and colleagues will not be coming back | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
into school. Very sad, but well done with your green tie and ribbon. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Let's chat to some of the children. What is the message you are trying | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
to send out across the country? It is a symbolic gesture of unity and | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
to show that is as children, we have seen this horrific incident going on | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
and we want to make a difference because as a community we are | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
close-knit and care about each other so this is a day of remembering and | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
celebrating the lives lost and make our way and do what we can do for | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
them. You have all been touched by this, people across the country have | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
as well, everyone knows it was such a tragic incident. You guys are so | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
close to it and want to send out a positive message today? That is what | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
it is, because we are so close and everyone here will know one person | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
that was in the tower or affected by the tower, so I think doing this | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
today, wearing green, showing our love and support, that is what it is | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
all about, just shoving that. Good effort in your green top. You | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
live right by the tower, it is very close to home? Yes, my parents and | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
family members know people that have been affected by it, and it has been | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
a bad few weeks for people I know personally and it has been very sad | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
for them. And despite all the negativity and sadness what you are | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
doing today is trying to turn it into... Definitely, we will make the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
best of a bad situation, coming together and wearing green. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Great effort. What did your message to people waking up this moaning not | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
sure whether they have got any green in their cupboards, not sure if can | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
find something green, they should go and buy something? Go and buy | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
something or where something representative like these, but it is | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
just a positive, try your hardest to make everyone else feel, people have | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
been affected so just donate money. Great stuff, really good effort, I | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
think. A lot of anger, a lot of questions | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
still about what happened, why the fire spread so quickly, but what is | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
happening here is something positive, the children have come up | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
with this initiative, they are getting in the spirit, so out there, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
as you wake up, if you are dressed already, does not matter, you can | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
find something green, pop to the charity shop, it take a photo, get | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
it on social media, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, we want to see | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
your photographs, and what is the hashtag? #GreenForGrenfell! | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Thanks, guys. I think I got my timing wrong, I was wearing green | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
yesterday. It's still a few months | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
until Strictly Come Dancing returns to our screens, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
but the rumour mill about which celebrities are taking | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
part is already in full swing. But we do definitely know | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
which professional dancers are competing after their line-up | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
was announced earlier this week. Coming back for his third series | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
is Giovanni Pernice, Before we speak to him, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
let's see some of his best moves. You are a man who loves drama, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Giovanni! And you like seeing yourself on camera! Ayew well? You | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
are on your own tour at the moment, how is it going? We did just ten | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
shows and now we are going to do another 22 shows, so, yes, in the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
middle. Have you thought of having a break? Strictly is pretty intense? | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Yes, it is, and you don't have any rest because you finish Strictly and | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
have to go on the live tour, and then you do your own tour, and in | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
private shows, so it is always, always dance. But you? I do love it. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
You two have danced together? In the group dance. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Giovanni, look at me now, what was it like? She is OK! She is amazing, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
fabulous. Would you like to know what she said about you before you | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
came in? You said he was a pretty tough task master? | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Jess, a tough task master! She was dancing with passion, it was | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Russian, so I think it was Stubhub. Not generalising or anything like | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
that! I don't think any of the professional dancers are easy in | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
terms of expectations, but you can't be because you are taking people who | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
are usually completely new to dancing and who are scared as well, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
you have to manage as emotionally well as physically and teaching us | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
to dance, it is a lot to take on. You definitely need to teach them | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
how to dance because they have never danced before, so you need to make | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
them look really good and do a good job in the show as well. When you go | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
out with your partner, do you always go out to win or do you think, I | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
want to get the best out of my partner, or are you like, I want | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
that glitter ball, we are working for the gettable! That is the thing, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
everyone keeps saying, I am not competitive. We don't want to win, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
we just want to do a good job. But I think everybody really wants to win. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
I am supercompetitive, I always say I really want to win, and I always | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
said to my partner, what we have to do is go there and try to win. Tell | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
us a bit about your own tour. A lot of people go and see live dancing, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
don't they? If you turn back the top ten, 15 years, that audience would | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
not have been out there, a lot of people want to go and see dance now | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
that maybe didn't used to? Strictly is a huge show on television, and | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
thanks to that a lot of people now on the ballroom and Latin side of | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
dancing, doing our show, the professional dancers do their own | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
show, and to be honest with you it is a good thing because again you | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
come to the theatre and you watch proper dancing, you watch the walks, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the cha-cha-cha, all this kind of dance and that is what we are trying | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
to do. Let's see a bit from your tour. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
# Riding high # When I was King | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
# Walked away # Warned me then | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
# Easy come, easy go, it could end # I need you to understand... | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
So, the tour is going on, and what is this you are dancing here? A kind | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
of charleston, rock and roll jive. But jive is your favourite? Yes, it | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
is. And you need pretty quick feet. I try. Can you give us a taste. You | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
did the competition for It Takes Two, didn't you? Yes, it is early in | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the morning, too early to go faster than that. Dear get a break before | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Strictly begins? Not really, because we did the first part of my show, so | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
we did ten shows, now we do another 22 shows, Wales, Stockport, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Hastings, everywhere, basically. I have some tips for you, not from me | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
personally, but someone to give you some dancing tips. This is Zola. I | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
knew that! Watch. That is how you spin, Giovanni. What do you think of | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the technique was yellow he looks really good, much better than me! He | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
has got some moves going on there. The things you never expect you are | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
going to do. Come on BBC Breakfast, you end up doing commentary on a | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
gorilla dancing in a paddling pool. Lovely to see you. Thank you very | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
much. Giovanni's tour is | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
called Dance Is Life. It's a year since the UK | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
voted to leave the EU, and as the formal Brexit | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
negotiations get under way, we've sent Ben to a French cafe along | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
with our Breakfast Brexit panel. Some messages starting to come out? | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Absolutely. 12 months, how time flies, doesn't it? And we have been | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
talking all morning about the claims that have been made about what it | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
means for the jobs market, the economy, important exports, what it | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
means for everyday life. With me some of our regulars from our | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Breakfast Brexit panel. We have remain as and | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Remainers and Leavers. If you look at the Brexit referendum, not a huge | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
youth turnout, but we saw a different thing for the general | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
election, maybe it has engaged people more in voting? Just looking | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
anecdotally from my Facebook feed, there has been... Usually people who | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
see my posts, and I am political, everybody that I know who was | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
previously not political, all of a sudden as soon as Brexit happened | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
and they saw we were about to leave the European Union, they were | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
reading up on it and had the interest sparked up. Is that a | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
response to the outcome? Or just it has proved for the first time in a | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
long time that voting can change things. Both. The figures somewhere, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
70% of those of us who turned out to vote under the age of 30 voted to | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
remain, so we wanted to stay in the European Union, but the way it has | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
gone for the last 12 months has been quite a focus on the 52% and not | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
48%, and the majority of us young people fall within the 42%, and we | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
feel we are not being listened to. So we turn out to vote a bit more. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
If push comes to shove and we are not listen to again, then there is a | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
risk that apathy will become a thing again, I think. It is interesting | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
that idea of changing behaviour. Damian, you are very much in the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Leave camp. You are a chef and you do a lot of consultancy work around | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
cooking and cuisine. Tell me about how it changes behaviour in what you | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
do. Flamini, it is to use British ingredients, support British | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
farmers, vegetable producers, and just by locals. So you can save some | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
money on importing stuff, and you know your farmer, you know your | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
butcher, you could try produce, and you can tell your customers where | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
your produce is coming from, and in my restaurant, we only use | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
ingredients from Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire, and I know from whom | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
I'm buying stuff, I know the animals, I visit the farm, and to be | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
honest with you, Brexit changed my perception of looking into | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
ingredients. I am checking everything that comes to my | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
restaurant. Is that the cost of knowing where it has come from? | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Imports are more expensive because of the fall in the value of the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
pound. Our produce will be more expensive as well, but still we need | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
to change people's perceptions to buy local, and in my restaurant, you | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
eat local produce, so buying dishes in are struck you support your | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
neighbours. And a brief word, for staying in the UK, we have heard | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
from the Prime Minister that there will be guarantees for those who | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
have been here more than five years getting the right to stay. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
difference has that made to you? Huge, I had a few staff who were | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
worried about what would happen with their lives, but now it looks much | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
better, and most of the people who I know, they will start applying for a | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
residence cards, and now the future is much clearer. Good to talk to you | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
both, thank you for that insight. And it really is a case of 12 months | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
on from that day we voted to leave the European Union are finally | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
getting clarity on some of the big issues, but so much more that is | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
still uncertain, trade, jobs still to be determined, but of course that | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
all plays out now and negotiations have formally begun this week. What | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
happens next, we have to wait and see. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Ben, how many croissants have you had? | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
I will bring you some black! Welcome back. We all love a mystery, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
but when it is a true life story involving an enormous jewel, it | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
becomes that much more captivating. It was the prized possession | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
of Indian rulers for centuries before becoming one | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
of the British Crown Jewels. The story behind the huge Koh-i-Noor | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
diamond is one of greed, William Dalrymple and Anita Anand | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
have been investigating its past for a new book, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
and they join us now. We got a glimpse of it. Where is it | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
now? Explain where it is right now. When you see it today, it is in the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Tower of London city against some plush velvet, but this tiny | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
sparkling diamond has created havoc across continents, a peoples eyes | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
being gouged out, covered in molten lead, it is Game Of Thrones meets | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Lord of the Rings. You used the word tiny. When it came out of the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
ground, it was 186 carats, the car boot diamond was 20. This was the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
size and shape of an egg, but it didn't sparkle like the British | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
wanted it to sparkle, so they recut it. Why did it come to England? It | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
became not just a jewel, it was a symbol of power, a symbol of India, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
and Queen Victoria, who was never going to get to go to the eastern | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
part of her empire, the Governor general of India wanted to present | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
something to her that symbolise how much she had got, and the diamond, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
it seemed to pull it all together, and that is why it came here. Yet | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the receiving of that gift was tainted, wasn't it? I have never | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
heard of a monarch with a black eye. So the diamond when it came here had | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
a curse. The idea was that this was a cursed diamond, that once belonged | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
to the sun god in ancient scripture, and any mortal would be crushed by | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
it. And William tells us an enormous amount of bloodshed, but it entered | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
British territorial waters, and Queen Victoria out of the blue is | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
attacked by admin in the crowd who hit her over the head, so when she | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
greets the Koh-i-Noor at Buckingham Palace, she does so with a massive | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
shiner, which makes every body think, this talk of the curse, what | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
is that all about? And continuing that, what is the curse? Brexit! No, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
throughout its history, diamonds are small portable objects of enormous | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
value, something you can put in your pocket and change your family's | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
fortunes for ever, so they have attracted greed and envy, and super | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
large diamonds and special ones have always generated greed and violence. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
But this diamond appears to be avoided, because now it is only the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
cohorts of monarchs who will wear it. The Queen has never worn it. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Queen Victoria did. She did, but she was worried about it and constantly | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
wrote to her advisers in India asking more about the curse, to the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
point where one in particular got so fed up of these letters, he said, if | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
she does want to wear it, give it to me, I will wear it! But after her, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
no reigning monarch has ever worn it, it is only the Queen consort who | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
wears it. The last time it would have been worn was the Queen Mother, | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
the last time it was released from the tower was on the coffin of the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Queen Mother, where it sat in her crown. Given what it is used for now | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
and its history, does it have a value? Is that a meaningless thing? | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Incalculable value. It is priceless. Even diamonds a fraction of its eyes | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
gopher ridiculous sums of money. And its prominence, it belonged to the | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
moguls, the Afghans, the Sikhs. The Iranians, the Persians had it. It's | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
story... Has it ever been story? It has been passed only by violence and | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
theft! It is a relay race! Today here we think of it is a cosy part | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
of the Crown Jewels, but this is something which Indians and | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Pakistanis and Afghans and Iranians, even the Taliban feel incredibly | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
passionate about it, they all wanted back. It is a compelling story. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
Something about diamonds that can have that sort of effect on people. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
It is that kind of story. Lovely to see you both. | :56:49. | :56:48. | |
