27/06/2017 Breakfast

Hello, this is Breakfast, with Naga Munchetty and Dan Walker.

Anger over the one billion pound deal between the DUP

The agreement is condemned as a bribe - but the government says

it could help restore power sharing in Northern Ireland.

Good morning, it's Tuesday, 27th June.

The blunder that meant thousands of medical documents were put

into storage instead of being sent to hospitals and GPs.

What is it? It's the cutest train I have ever seen!

Showers on the way, some of which will be heavy and boundary but I

will have more details in 15 minutes.

The government and the Democratic Unionists insist that the deal

agreed at Westminster yesterday, makes the restoration

of power-sharing in Northern Ireland more likely.

But other parties say the arrangement -

under which Northern Ireland will receive more than one-billion

pounds of extra funding - is nothing more than a bribe.

We're joined now by our political correspondent

John Campbell at Stormont, but first let's speak

to Leila Nathoo who's at Westminster for us.

Accusations on most of the front pages of the newspapers today,

describing this deal as a ?1 billion ride. Well, that was the price

agreed by Theresa May for the support of those ten DUP MPs. It was

the deal 18 days in the making to get Theresa May a working majority

that she needs to get anything done. That will be spent on things like

health, infrastructure, education. Yes, it has led to accusations,

especially from Wales and Scotland that this is simply buying votes

with cash. Theresa May and the government are saying, look, this is

a really good deal for the UK. It gives the Conservatives are working

majority in the Commons. The deal is supposed to last the majority of

Parliament but will be subject to review in two years time. It does,

for now, give Theresa May the authority that she needs to get on

with government. How does this affect or how was the consequence of

this when it comes to storm on's agreement? This is another crucial

aspect of this deal has been done with the D P. -- Stormont. The power

sharing executive has broken down and currently, there was a deal

about getting a power-sharing agreement over in Stormont. The UK

government in Westminster is supposed to be at impartial broker

in these talks and there have been accusations and certain fears that

because the government here in Westminster is doing a deal with the

DUP to support them on a case-by-case basis on those big

votes like Brexit, security, things that the government really needs the

support of the DUP on, then that will affect its brokering of this

deal in Stormont. We have Thursday as the deadline for these talks to

get under way. Of course, both parties are happy they will be more

money for Northern Ireland but it remains to be seen whether this

delicate balancing act will pay off. Thank you for the moment. We'll be

talking to some Conservatives later about this deal, what it means and

perhaps the they could pose. Just after seven o'clock this

morning we'll be speaking to the former Work and Pensions

Secretary Iain Duncan Smith. 700,000 medical documents including

test results for cancer, were put in storage instead

of being sent to hospitals or GPs. A report by the National

Audit Office says that more than 1,700 NHS patients

may have been harmed For every bit of correspondence,

they were looking through to see whether there was any harm. They are

letting the location know and getting experts to look at it. 1700

odd cases they have identified potential harm. For those cases,

they are looking at it more deeply to see if there has been actual harm

caused by the delay. The White House has accused

the Syrian Government of preparing for a chemical weapons attack -

similar to one in April, That attack led to an

American missile strike In a statement issued last night,

the US State Department said President Assad and his military

would pay a heavy price if chemical 75 high rise buildings,

in 26 local authority areas in England, have now failed fire

the information. Right now, my priority is I have residents who

need somewhere to sleep and I am all-out tried to make sure they are

safe and secure. The amount of public money the Queen

receives to carry out her work as Head of State is to increase next

year by around eight %, It will help to pay for repairs

costing 369-million pounds being carried out

at Buckingham Palace over Our royal correspondent

Nicholas Witchell reports. Buckingham Palace announced last

November it was setting in motion It would cost about ?369

million over 10 years, and among other things,

it will replace wiring, pipework and boilers,

which in some cases, According to the Palace,

they are potentially catastrophic The Palace has given more details

about how the extra money Next year, the soverign grant,

money that the Palace receives to run Buckingham Palace,

will rise by just The refurbishment work on the Palace

has not started yet. Officials say they are still

at the planning stage. They hope some preparation work

will begin later this summer. The purpose is to secure the future

of what they describe Critics say it is a waste of money

at a time of austerity. One republican group says royal

funding will have risen Homophobic bullying at secondary

schools and colleges in Britain has fallen by a third over the past

decade, according to new research. A study by the University

of Cambridge - commissioned by the gay rights

charity, Stonewall - says insulting language

is less frequent and most schools Almost half of gay pupils

who were questioned said 50 years ago today, the world's

first cash machine was installed outside a branch of Barclays

in Enfield, London. Now there are 70,000 in the UK,

and three million worldwide. The traditional 'hole

in the wall' has come a long way in half a century,

as Simon Gompertz reports. 1967, a revolution. The first money

from a hole in the wall. You put in a voucher and a code and you got ten

?1 notes. A celebrity at the time had a go and the cash machine was

born. This is what we have come to. Now, a mini bank. On these once, you

can even open a bank account. Signing your name, it will take my

photo as well. Just to prove it is me. This one shows you if someone is

looking over your shoulder to steal your pin code, reassurance you might

want if they close your branch to replace it with a machine. We only

into wards and no bank branch. We used to have about 20,000 bank

branches in the UK and soon we will have 4000. Smart ATMs in the future

will provide 99% of all the services that people can get from bank

branches today. That is not a world everyone will welcome but the

technology unleashed back in the 60s is still transforming the way we

bank half a century later. Simon Gompertz, BBC News.

I'm interested to see how much cash people carry around these days. I

will keep my personal hidden from view, anyway. -- my purse.

Airport security staff in Boston got a bit of a shock

when they investigated a suspicious bag -

because they came face to face with this nine kilo lobster!

The crustacean was very much alive and an airport spokesman confirmed

that as the lobster was travelling in a cooler in checked luggage,

he was allowed to continue to his final destination -

after a quick photo was taken of course!

Now you have got me wondering about the difference between male and

female lobsters which I will check out.

I'm sure somebody will tell us as well, our viewers know everything.

It so obvious! You look under the right claw!

That is a lobster news. Should we get sports news? Should we get some

Heather Watson news? We want our good old-fashioned British tennis

players to do well in Wimbledon. With Wimbledon now less than a week

away, Heather Watson looks She beat a top ten player

for only the second time in her career to make it

through to the last 16 at Eastbourne, knocking out

the defending champion He enjoyed a fairytale run

last year at Wimbledon, which ended against Roger

Federer on centre court. He won his first round of qualifying

for this year's tournament and set up a match against fellow

Brit Liam Broady. The pressure's on the British

and Irish Lions this morning as they face New Zealand

side the Hurricanes It's their last tour match before

the second test on Saturday And England's women cricketers

will hope to bounce back from their shock defeat to India

when they play Pakistan They are strong favourites

after comfortably winning Much more on the Lions coming up

this morning. We will be ahead of their warmup game, their midweek

game, it is starting in a couple of hours' time. You are talking about

cash and who carries cash. I use my card for everything, really lazy,

always use my card, always doing that. Lately, I have really, useful

friend who also has -- Alway has cash on them. You know who that use?

Carol. Always has an emergency fiver.

Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

As we go through today, there will be further rain at times. In the

south, we are also looking at some showers coming up, some of which

will be thundery. If you were just stepping out, ran across Northern

Ireland, Scotland and northern England and parts of Wales. Of this

has been heavy a little bit of surface water and spray on the roads

and could have some local issues, something certainly worth bearing in

mind. For the North of Scotland, brighter and chilly start. The rain

continuing to move out of northern Ireland and into northern England.

Heavy rain across Cumbria this morning. As we come into Wales, we

have the other end of that range and we have another band of light rain

stretching across part of the Midlands and into southern counties.

Quite a lot of clout in places here. Equally, some of us are starting off

with a bit of sunshine. -- cloud. The sunshine won't necessarily

laughed. We have an area of low pressure and its front moving

eastwards. Here is the other end of it which will bring lack -- rain

later into parts of Wales and south-west England and then we have

another is system coming up from the near continent that, too, will

introduce showers which will be heavy and thundery and it will feel

quite sticky today with highs of around 20 Celsius. Not the 25 we had

yesterday. As the rain moves away from Northern Ireland, it will

brighten up and we will see a return to sunshine and showers. Through

this evening and overnight, we still have all of these rain. We have the

other band in the West and they shall merge. With the onshore flow,

it will feel chilly if you are out early on. Generally speaking,

temperatures will remain in double figures overnight more or less

across the board. That leads us into tomorrow. If you remember, two areas

of low pressure, one from the south and the one going north today will

retreat back towards the West with its front amalgamating to produce

rain across England and Wales and Northern Ireland. As the rain

rotates around the low pressure, you might find it drier spot in the

south-east and also to the north of that in Scotland. Once again, along

the shoreline, down the North Sea coast, it will feel particularly

cold, especially if you couple that with the rain. Temperatures tomorrow

will range between 12 and 13 in the north to highs of 19 in the south.

Here Thursday's picture. We still have the rain extending across

Scotland, northern England, Northern Ireland, Wales and down across the

south-west, not far away from the Channel Islands and either side of

that, something dry and brighter. The bridges are a wee bit

disappointing for this stage in the June. -- temperatures.

Would you like some lobster news before we do the headlines? If you

think it is appropriate. I think it is interesting people are desperate

to know how you tell the difference between a Mail and female lobster.

Females are preferred because you can get the roe, the eggs. Where the

tale meets the thorax there are two antenna like features. The mail

features are thicker and harder. The female features are softer and

almost feathery. And that area is softer as well. What is that it?

That is where the roe is. I am trying to decide which lobster

toothpick. You asked the difference, that is the difference! I did not

ask the difference, you wanted to know the difference. -- which

lobster to pick. You are watching

Breakfast from BBC News. The main stories this morning:

Northern Ireland will receive an extra ?1 billion,

after Theresa May reached a deal with the Democratic Union Party

to secure her minority Government. It has been revealed that

an administrative blunder meant 700,000 NHS documents were sent

to a warehouse rather than patients. One of the things we will be talking

a lot about this morning is the deal between the DUP and the

Conservatives, and Theresa May. The Prime Minister has promised extra

funding for Northern Ireland, which has been described as a ?1 billion

bride on many front pages. The Daily Telegraph saying the ?1 billion for

the DUP is just the start of Theresa May has warned the unionists will be

back for more money. The front page of the Daily Mirror, the PM's

handshake of shame, they say. The billion pound bride to crackpots.

The front page of the Daily Express has a little bit on the DUP deal but

the new way to be diabetes as their main story, and a picture of the

Queen and Prince Charles, why Royal visitors is booming for the Queen

and Prince Charles. We have just spoken about ?6 million increase to

help repairs to Buckingham Palace for the taxpayer. The Daily Mail

talking about schools was bid to sway the general election by

attacking Tory policies. The way this has happened, according to the

Daily Mail, is in the run-up to the general election on the eighth of

June families were sent a series of messages on social media and post by

head teachers. Looking at the inside pages... I don't know if you noticed

this, England play Germany today in football. What could possibly go

wrong? I am talking about the England under 21 side playing in

Poland later this afternoon, at 5pm, and I love nothing more than a bit

of good old-fashioned exercise. This is the squad filmed at training

yesterday with broomsticks doing a bit of twisting and squatting and

all sorts of old-fashioned, good old-fashioned exercises. Classic

exercises. Classic exercises. They are also practising penalties. They

have practised penalties every day from month, apparently. Let's hope

it is not needed. No big deal to them, they are just doing it. We are

starting to see at St George 's Park the benefits of all the work which

has been put in there. Google facing a huge fines as part of a

long-running investigation by the European Commission. It is related

to whether Google has abused its position, that when you search for

something online invariably you use Google, and if it is something you

want to buy it will tend to direct you to its own shopping services.

The European Commission says that as an unfair abuse of its position and

it could find them up to 10% of their revenues. That could be a

staggering fine, up to ?7 billion. Would that hurt Google? I think if

you start getting to 10% of someone's revenues it will make a

difference but the biggest difference in the future would be

that they had to stop doing it, and that is making money at the moment.

That is one to watch. Staying with technology, Facebook is getting into

online videogames as far as things like Netflix and Amazon prime,

creating its own content. It will spend $3 million an episode

producing higher end shows to watch exclusively on Facebook, trying to

get more and more of us glued to the small screen. Do you remember Danny

on Who Do You Think you are was related to royalty? Everyone is

related to royalty if you go back far enough. There must be some royal

blood on this sofa. We talked to you yesterday about a horse called Carol

running at Chepstow, and many of you put a few quid on it, and she won.

She won the 2:30pm at Chepstow and thank you to everyone who has got in

contact. We made her the 7-4 favourite, and they are going to

give that money to charity, some of our viewers. Thank you very much.

Six years ago, when the BBC highlighted abuse of vulnerable

patients at a hospital for people with learning disabilities in south

Gloucestershire called Winterbourne View, the government

promised to bring people with learning disabilities out

of hospitals, to be supported in their own communities.

So what progress has been made since?

A new study by Lancaster University claims that private,

in-patient care for vulnerable people is now worth more

And, while the NHS continues to commission care in private units,

the report warns people with learning difficulties

In this special report in our two-part series,

Breakfast's Jayne McCubbin went to meet Elizabeth Bincliffe.

This is where Stefanie ended up. Stephanie Beckert had a learning

disability and autism. She lived with her family at weekends but was

supported in the community during the week but when her behaviour grew

increasingly challenging and she became a danger to herself and

others, she was sectioned. -- Bincliffe. For seven years she lived

in this room and private hospital. She also died here. She couldn't

look out the window. No. She didn't really venture outside no. There was

a period of time from about 12 months to 18 months Stefanie was

completely locked in that room. She did not access a bathroom, she had

her meals in that, and she washed with wet wipes. This was expert

care. Which cost how much? Just over ?4.5 million. That works out roughly

at about ?13,000 a week. A report out today says there has been a

significant increase in the number of people with learning disabilities

in private, inpatient beds. Up 46% between 2006 and 2015, private

inpatient care is now worth more than ?250 million. Just over half of

all inpatient services are now provided by the private sector. In

2006 it was just 20%. This report is part of a campaign to bring people

with learning disabilities and autism out of hospitals, into their

communities, something the government supports. But the number

of private beds is increasing. Report authors say this is an

alarming trend. Whenever there has been research comparing NHS and

private sector services, private sector services come off worse. They

tend to use more seclusion, where people are kind of stuck in solitary

confinement for a period of time, physical restraint, where people are

pinned down or restrained in some other way, people are more likely to

experience the assaults as well. There is no umbrella organisation

representing private providers, so we asked a number of them for their

thoughts on this report. One told us that they provided a level of

expertise that is clearly appreciated by the NHS. Another said

they often look after more complex individuals, with more complex

needs, and that might require more staff to help look after them, at a

higher cost. And the third said restraint was only ever used as a

last resort. Winterbourne died when she was 25. During seven years in

hospital she had gained ten stone. Her death was caused by sleep apnoea

connected to her obesity. The hospital was operated by the Hunter

Cohen group, who told us... -- Huntercombe Group.

He did, however, say there was no care plan to manage her weight. But

he added... But this behaviour, her mother believes, was exacerbated by

her very confinement. They can't hurt her now. But if I can stop

this, that's why I'm here. We have two stop this. Society is known by

how they treat the most vulnerable people, challenging or not. And this

is how our society cares for our most vulnerable people. The

Department for health refused repeated requests for an interview.

Instead, in a statement, they said by investing ?25 million in

technology and housing to support people with a learning disability to

live independently, we are giving people more choice. As a result, we

are reducing inequality and improving outcomes. This report,

however, says there is now a trade in people with learning

disabilities. Those people, they say, have become commodities.

We will have more of that later on, talking with other people who have

had experience of this. And thank you for your response not only to

what we are doing today but what we rang yesterday. So many people

getting in contact, including Paul, who has a 13-year-old daughter. He

says I have great sympathy with the people in your story. My daughter

has been in hospitals which were run like prisons. If she is sectioned

you lose all rights. You're not even told when she has to be restrained

or when she has been taken to hospital due to self-harm. Thank you

for getting in contact, and do send us an e-mail and get in contact

social Facebook and Twitter, I'm back with the latest

from the BBC London newsroom Plenty more on our website

at the usual address. You are watching breakfast. Coming

up on the programme, we are taking a look at a warning from NHS England

that says some parents have a worrying relaxed attitude around

allowing their children to get a suntan. We will talk to a GP about

the long-term effects. We will also be joined by five-time Paralympic

gold-medallist Hannah Cockroft who is preparing for the world

Paralympic Championships in London which is now just a few weeks away.

I know someone once famously said do not travel with someone you don't

know. Fortunately, we are OK. After 9am, we are meeting the couple who

is travelling to every single railway station in Great Britain.

There is 2563 of them to visit. I would love to hear railway stories

you have as well. Maybe you have visited them all as well some

favourite ones. Keep it clean. Downing Street and the Democratic

Unionists have said their deal to secure support for Theresa May's

minority Conservative government makes the restoration of power

sharing in Northern Ireland more The Prime Minister has been accused

by Sinn Fein of jeopardising the Good Friday peace agreement -

by promising the DUP a billion pounds of extra funding

for Northern Ireland. A deal to revive power sharing

at the Stormont Assembly has to be Our political correspondent

John Campbell is in Belfast It looks a bit rainy day but

nevermind. Let's talk about this means in terms of the Stormont

agreement. Clearly, it is a big amount of money. All the parties

here have welcomed this deal to one extent or another. They want the

money but in terms of whether they will mix power-sharing, that is

unclear. We need to understand the issue. If there is to be money in

northern island and there is to be power-sharing between the unionists

and nationalists, Sinn Fein said they can't share power with the DUP.

The public enquiry doesn't start hearing evidence yet. If there is to

be a deal here in the next couple of days, two things need to happen.

Sinn Fein would need to change their position on Arlene Foster and the

DUP will have two of our Sinn Fein something in return, might -- most

likely the Irish language act which will be an act to protect the Irish

language much like the Welsh language in Wales. For the moment,

John, we will say thanks very much. 20 more on that throughout the

morning. -- plenty more. 700,000 medical documents including

I'm like every time the money comes out! Yes! It worked! That lady

celebrating is me. Oh, you've gone. Give me a second, I'll bring it

back. Saw Heather Watson last week in

Birmingham and was looking in great form, very confident. Warming up on

grass. It looks like her training plan is all working.

With Wimbledon now less than a week away, Heather Watson looks

She beat a top ten player for only the second time

in her career, stunning the defending champion

Dominika Cibulkova, to make it through to the third

The win is a great confidence boost for the Brit, who ranked at 126

in the world, needs a wildcard for the Wimbledon main draw.

I'm very thankful for the wildcard. I felt like I have been playing

great tennis and I love playing on grass and I'm glad I've had the

opportunity these last few weeks. British number two Naomi

Broady is out though - She also has a wildcard to the main

draw of Wimbledon next week. The British men's number two

Kyle Edmund also suffered defeat. After losing in the first

round at Queens last week, he was beaten at Eastbourne

by the American Donald Young. Fellow Brit Cameron Norrie did

make it through though. Marcus Willis' ambitions of another

memorable run at Wimbledon remain on course after making

it through the first Next up though -

is the British Number ten There's a big name at Eastbourne,

Novak Djokovic will play a grasscourt warm up tournament

for the first time in seven years. He'll face Canadian Vasek Pospisil

in the second round. The three-time Wimbledon champion

has slipped to number four in the world and is hoping to kick

start his Wimbledon preparations in new surroundings and with his

new coach Andre Agassi. I'm excited to be in a new place.

You know, I don't get to do that often. You know, we have quite,

pretty much the same schedule every single year, over and over again.

It's great to visit new places and it's a small town but everybody is

excited to come out on the courts and support the tennis players.

The British and Irish Lions will kick off the first of two

matches in Wellington in around two hours time in what could be

They face a tough task against the Super Rugby champions

the Hurricanes, with the players in this midweek game hoping to push

for a start for that second must-win test on Saturday.

The environment we are in, you play well and you will be looked at and

may be chosen. Yeah, I suppose it is good confidence. Everyone is eager

to put in a good performance tomorrow as a collective, mainly,

and hopefully get the result. England's Under 21s will be hoping

to continue a successful summer for their representative sides

when they face Germany in the semi After the Under 20s won

the World Cup and the Under 17s reached the Euro finals,

victory tonight would put the U20s Manager Aidy Boothroyd is evoking

memories of Euro 96. Obviously, it wasn't the ending that

we had wanted but I think a lot of people of that generation have a

real affinity with England - Germany games. They are always big games,

exciting games. Both teams have got exciting players and I hope that the

buildup to the game, I hope the game is as good as the buildup.

After a shock defeat to India in their first match,

England's cricketers face Pakistan in Leicester today

Opener Lauren Winfield is unlikely to be fit

despite completing light training yesterday.

England are strong favourites after comfortably beating Pakistan

in a one day series here last summer.

12 months is a long time in cricket. We have come into the game with a

lot of confidence knowing we didn't perform well against them but we

showed against South Africa, they have got a real fight and they have

come back and look a lot stronger than they were that 12 months ago.

Like I said, we are definitely not taking anything likely. We know we

have to come out here and perform at our best to get a win.

New Zealand have won the 35th America's Cup with a crushing 7-1

Four year ago, USA - led by Sir Ben Ainslie,

but there was no repeat in Bermuda as the Kiwi crew dominated the race.

Ainslie said New Zealand had made it look easy.

And we know that that is not easy. Disappointing for Sir Ben Ainslie

this time around but when he started this project he said it would be

years until it came through. He is prepared to keep working and keep

working to win the America's Cup. A lot of money involved, as well. A

lot of cash. We are told about suntans and kids

and whether or not it is sensible to allow kids to sunbathe and how much

attention you pay. I can't imagine children sitting still enough to

sunbathe but they want to play out on holiday when it is hot. It is

about keeping a hat on them and keeping a T-shirt on them. Some

parents, a small minority, have told their children to take their tops

off so they don't get a tan line. Some parents have what's

being called a "worryingly relaxed attitude" when it comes

to their children being in the sun. That's according to a joint report

by the Met Office and NHS England. It found more than a third

of parents think sun tans are a sign While more than a fifth of parents

wait until their kids are visibly 7% of parents have never applied

lotion to their children and 7% of parents have

let their children aged 11 and under Good morning. 7% is quite a small

number. Let's not generalise and say that parents are neglecting their

children or even those who perhaps have let their children use a sunbed

or haven't applied suntan lotion are simply just not aware of how

dangerous the sun can be. I think any suntan, so when your body tans,

your skin is protecting itself. It can't handle the sunlight it is

exposed to so it is planning to protect itself. So actually, any

suntan is a sign of your skin struggling to protect itself from

damage. Why do we have to discuss this every single year? Why is the

message not getting through? Is it because people like a certain colour

of skin? That is part of it. There is a perception that if you look at

little bit tanned, you look healthy, you look better. I think that is

changing slowly. The other thing that happens is it is confusing.

There is so many different types of sun protection, you have UVA, UVB.

People do get confused. It's not a bad idea to talk about it every so

often to remind people. So when you are tanning, are you burning? When

you are tanning, your skin is starting to protect itself. When you

get sunburnt, you feel it. By the time you are aware you are sunburnt,

it's too late. How do you then, as a parent, observe your child in the

sun? It depends where you are. It's between midday, so a roundabout from

11- three is when the sun is at its hottest. Cover up with clothes. No

child wants, when it is 25 degrees outside, we don't want to be out in

longsleeved tops, we are just as bad.

You mentioned the UVA and UVB thing. That is slightly confusing because

even if you can't see the sun in the sky... That is what makes you more

prone to getting skin cancer. Some days you think, oh well, it is

cloudy, it will be all right. Still, there is a UV coming through to

cause damage. What is your final tip for parents? When you are going to

the supermarket or the pharmacy, what should you look for? With

little babies, don't put them out directly in the sun. You need an SPF

of plus 30. You need to make sure that you are applying it generously

all the time. Just make it alike, brush your teeth, put your sunscreen

on. It has got to be standard. It is an unseen thing that we need to

prioritise it. I wonder if you will need much

factor creamy stuff today. That wasn't the best... Factor creamy

stuff? Carroll, can you help me out of my small hole? The UV levels a

moderate across the UK. We have a lot of cloud cover and also a lot of

rain. As we were just hearing, you can still get burnt when there is

cloud around. We have rain across Scotland, Northern Ireland, northern

England and Wales through the course of the last night and it will be

with us for a while yet. Some of that is heavy, particularly across

northern England and at the moment Northern Ireland and southern

Scotland but for the North of Scotland it is dry and chilly and

all the time rain will be pushing out of Northern Ireland, leaving

showers behind but later we could see some heavy ones as well. Where

we have the heaviest rain, up until about noon, we could see another 40

millimetres so if we are travelling we can expect a lot of surface water

and spray on the road, possibly some localised flooding. A secondary band

across the Midlands is not as heavy and as we come further south there

is cloud and limited sunshine. Through the course of the day we

lose the rain from Northern Ireland. There will be some showers, some of

them heavy and thundery in the west and equally we import some more

thundery showers coming from the near continent into southern

England. We have showers coming across south-west England and west

Wales. Temperature-wise will feel cool, particularly if you are along

the shoreline, particularly eastern Scotland where we have an easterly

flow. It will feel quite muggy down in the south, with highs of 20

Celsius. You can see it as quite a messy picture and that mess

continues as we head through the course of the night with further

rain across England and Wales. Some showers across Scotland, and

eventually the rain sweeps up into Northern Ireland. It is not going to

be a particular cold night, most places staying in double figures. So

we start tomorrow with two areas of low pressure merging, with their

attendant fronts producing a fair bit of rain once again across

England, Wales, and also Northern Ireland. The whole lot is rotating

around the areas of low pressure, which means that you could see some

holes in the south-east where we have some drier interludes but

equally we have an easterly and north-easterly flow coming in from

the North Sea so again feeling cool down the east coast of Scotland and

also the north-east of England. Drier weather across Scotland means

that we are going to see highs of maybe 13 or 14 and in the South

temperatures coming down a touch. We are looking at about 19 stop then,

as we head-on into Thursday. There is more rain on the cards, rotating

around an area of low pressure which is anchored here, so the rain coming

in across Scotland, northern England, Northern Ireland, clipping

west Wales and south-west England. Either side of something drier and

brighter, so you are more likely to rust this week than to tan. So no

suntan stuff needed. Well, in temperatures like this, in the

sunshine you would but it is always better to be safe than sorry.

We are borrowing at levels not seen since before the financial crisis,

and the Bank of England is concerned.

Yes, this is all about the debt that people are building up on things

like mortgages, car loans and credit cards.

The Bank of England has already said it is concerned about how much

people are borrowing, and later, when it publishes its report

on the stability of the UK's financial system, it is expected

to say more about why it could be a problem.

And that is because the latest figures show we have got ?68 billion

If you add in other debts, like mortgages and car loans,

the average household now has debts of ?13,200.

That is just below the ?13,300 we had racked up in debts at the end

of 2008, on the eve of the credit crunch

Ismail Erturk is an economist from the University of Manchester.

Nice to see you, good morning. Let's talk about this stability report,

because it looks at all sorts of things, doesn't it? This time, as I

have touched on, they are going to be looking at debt. Why are we

borrowing so much? Well, because people are encouraged to borrow at

low interest rates, and there is a history to it. After the crisis, by

keeping the interest rates low, the Bank of England tried to keep the

economy afloat. But then the second stage came last year after the

Brexit referendum. In August last year the Bank of England increased

the interest rates further and allow banks to have access to cheap

liquidity. -- decreased. We have seen a second stage since the Brexit

referendum in August when people were encouraged to borrow money. On

the one hand, now is a good time to borrow as it is cheap to borrow

money but of course the danger is as interest rates start going up

whether people can afford to pay that money back. Exactly, and we

have seen recently, about two years ago, in the United States, they

started to increase their interest rates up because they are concerned

about the inflation. And also in the UK as well, with the devaluation of

the sterling after the Brexit referendum, the inflation is going

up because of the lower value of the pound and the higher cost of

imports. And we have seen in the Monetary Policy Committee at the

Bank of England there are some views that the interest rates should go up

so I think we are in an environment where the interest rates are likely

to go up in the US. And in the UK there is pressure as well and if you

have higher levels of debt, increasing interest rates are not

good news. Where is the debt? We touched on credit cards and loans,

but mortgages are a big part of this as well? Exactly, and the kind of

mortgages people have in the UK are variable so if the interest rates go

up a large percentage of people start paying a higher interest rate.

And even a very small increase like 0.5% and 1% can have a big impact on

people's ability to pay the mortgage back. And briefly, when we hear from

the Bank of England later there are limited things they can do. They

have cut interest rates so low that they are encouraging people to

borrow. Is there anything they can do to rein it in? I think we have to

look beyond the Bank of England. After the crisis around the world,

the US, Europe and the UK central banks were given the task to keep

the economy moving. I think we have to look at other issues. If the

wages are not growing, real income is not growing and people are

borrowing to consume and the GDP grows. This is not just the task of

the Bank of England. It is more fiscal policy, industrial policy. So

we need to look at a broader set of economic policies. Really good to

talk to you, thank you for explaining that. More from me after

7am, when we are talking about the 50th birthday of the cash machine.

And why wouldn't we? Thank you very much.

Railways and romance - that is the perfect combination

for Geoff Marshall and Vicki Pipe, who have decided to spend

their summer visiting every single train station in Britain.

It will take them 14 weeks to travel to all 2,563 stations.

Our correspondent David Sillito went to spend a day with them.

Is good morning. Good morning. What are you doing? We are travelling the

world 2563 railway stations in Great Britain. This is Kingsbury. It is

the cutest rain I have ever seen. That is not a trained! Geoff and

Vicki, in Star Bridge, on a class 139 people mover. This looks fun, so

I asked if I can join them. Sure, they said. Need us at Westbury. Am I

on the wrong platform here? Geoff, Vicki, I feel as though I know you

already. The question is, why? So we both have an interest in railways,

from coming from very different sorts of perspectives. But really,

why? How are you enjoying Skegness and the weather so far? I can't

really blame Skegness for the weather, can I? Life is short, you

should have an adventure. This is Britain's least use the station, and

there is no one here. No wonder. Except for these guys. 12 people

used should be request stop last year. Geoff and Vicki managed

together 19 for their visit. Hello. We have got Victoria sponge cake,

which is amazing. And some tea. And, as you can see, they have already

acquired some fans. I don't really like tea! Shall we talk about the

Peterbrough incident? We can talk about the Peterbrough incident. I

lost track of time at the cathedral. Mr trained. Geoff takes it very

seriously. Are you having doubts now? Everyday I edged towards the

line of doubt. As Ernest Hemingway once famously said, do not travel

with those who do not love. Fortunately... That sweet. David

Sillito, BBC News, at a railway station somewhere in Britain.

Thank you for all of you who have got in contact. There is a lot of

love for a station in the Peaks district with a very nice cafe. I

had lasagne and chips and it was excellent.

Plenty more on our website at the usual address.

Hello, this is Breakfast, with Naga Munchetty and Dan Walker.

Anger over the one billion pound deal between the DUP

The agreement is condemned as a bribe - but the government says

it could help restore power sharing in Northern Ireland.

Good morning, it's Tuesday, 27th June.

The blunder that meant thousands of medical documents were put

into storage instead of being sent to hospitals and GPs.

A bumper pay rise for the Queen - A Six million pound boost

from the taxpayer to help pay for repairs to Buckingham Palace .

It's 50 years ago today that the first cash machine

revolutionised banking - but will it be around

With credit cards, contactless payments and online shopping,

are the days of notes and coins now numbered?

In sport, the pressure's on the British and Irish Lions this

morning as they face New Zealand side the Hurricanes in Wellington.

It's their last tour match before the second test on Saturday

If you are just stepping out, pack your brolly because at the moment,

we have some rain which is pretty heavy across the northern half of

the country through the course of the day, we will see heavy showers

which will be thundery coming in across the southern half. Not much

in the way of sunshine but I will have more details in 15 minutes.

The government and the Democratic Unionists insist that the deal

agreed at Westminster yesterday, makes the restoration

of power-sharing in Northern Ireland more likely.

But other parties say the arrangement -

under which Northern Ireland will receive more than one-billion

pounds of extra funding - is nothing more than a bribe.

Our political correspondent John Campbell joins us

from Stormont, but first let's speak to Leila Nathoo who's

A bribe, strong words. I suppose the Prime Minister knew there would be a

fallout from this deal? ?1 billion for ten votes in the Commons. That

is what is being criticised very strongly by the opposition parties

as basically buying votes in order to the Prime Minister 's to cling on

to power. Remember, she needed the ten votes in order to get a working

majority in the Commons but it has come as a price of ?1 billion. Where

has this money come from? And Scotland and Wales in particular are

asking this question, if there is money for Northern Ireland, why

isn't there extra money for them, too? This is a fragile arrangement

and it does leave Theresa May in power for now with numbers. But it's

going to be reviewed in two years' time. Certainly, anger are among the

opposition parties that this is the price it has taken for Theresa May

to form her majority government, albeit a small one. Certainly not

going to go away. Our political correspondent

John Campbell is in Belfast for us John, the of and's argument is that

this won't destroy powersharing in Northern Ireland. Now there is extra

money for the Northern Irish executive, Sinn Fein will be rushing

to do a deal with the DUP so they have say in how the money will be

spent. Sinn Fein want out of the power-sharing because they say they

have lost faith in Arlene Foster, that it passionate leader of the

DUP. That is because she was the minister at a time that a badly

designed and expensive green energy scheme was introduced in Northern

Ireland. Sinn Fein said they couldn't work with Miss Foster again

until they had been a public enquiry. That public enquiry isn't

going to start until autumn. If there is going to be at stake here

at Stormont in the next few days, a few things need to happen. Sinn Fein

needs to change their view on Arlene Foster and as a result, the DUP will

have two offer something to Sinn Fein. That is something like an

Irish language act which will offer promotion and protection of the

Irish language much like the Welsh Lutwyche is protected in Wales will

stop the time is short and the deadline is Thursday. Realistically,

the two parties will have to kneel down most of the details by the end

of the day -- nailed down. Michael Fallon will be talking to us

in about 15 minutes and then we will be talking to Iain Duncan Smith.

700,000 medical documents including test results for cancer,

were put in storage instead of being sent to hospitals or GPs.

A report by the National Audit Office says that

more than 1,700 NHS patients may have been harmed

For every bit of correspondence, they were looking through it to see

They're letting the patient know and getting experts to look at it.

1,700 odd cases they have identified potential harm.

For those cases, they are looking into it more deeply

to find out if there has been actual harm caused by the delay.

The White House has accused the Syrian Government of preparing

for a chemical weapons attack - similar to one in April,

in which dozens of people died, including many children.

That attack led to an American missile strike

In a statement issued last night, the US State Department said

President Assad and his military would pay a heavy price if chemical

I think in terms of the economy it will get us on the map.

Back in April, missiles will find -- fired at a searing airbase that

America said had the launch of Datuk -- deadly chemical weapons attack.

Several Syrian soldiers are said to have died at the airbase and

President Assad denied any involvement. It was the first direct

military action against forces commanded by Syria's president.

Tonight, I ordered a targeted military strike on the airfield in

Syria from where the chemical attack was launched. It was these images

that provoked Donald Trump to act. Previously, his administration had

said it had little interest in getting involved in Syria. The use

of an urge -- nerve agent believed to be sarin, changed his mind. Many

children died in the town of Idlib. Now the White House has issued a

warning that Mr Assad and his military will pay a heavy price if

they bought another chemical attack. Given President Trump's previous

attack, he may stick to his word. 75 high rise buildings,

in 26 local authority areas in England, have now failed fire

receives to carry out her work as Head of State is to increase

next year by around 8%, It will help to pay for repairs

costing 369-million pounds being carried out

at Buckingham Palace over Our royal correspondent

Nicholas Witchell reports. Buckingham Palace announced last

November that it was setting in motion a huge

refurbishment programme. It will cost some ?369

million over 10 years, and among other things,

it will replace wiring, pipework and boilers,

which in some cases, haven't been touched

for more than 60 years. According to the Palace,

they pose a potentially catastrophic Now the Palace has given more

details about how the extra money Next year, the sovereign grant,

the money the Palace receives to fund the official duties

of the Queen and to run Buckingham Palace, will rise by just

over 8%, to ?82 million. The refurbishment work

on the Palace hasn't started yet. Officials say they're

still at the planning stage, though it's hoped some preparatory

work will begin later this summer. The purpose, say officials,

is to secure the future of what they describe

as a cherished national asset. Critics say it's a waste of public

money at a time of austerity. One republican group claims royal

funding will have risen by nearly Homophobic bullying at secondary

schools and colleges in Britain has fallen by a third over the past

decade, according to new research. A study by the University

of Cambridge - which was commissioned

by the gay rights charity, Stonewall - says insulting language

is less frequent and most schools But almost half of gay pupils

who were questioned said 50 years ago today, the world's

first cash machine was installed outside a branch of Barclays

in Enfield, London. Now there are 70,000 in the UK,

and three million worldwide. The traditional 'hole

in the wall' has come a long way in half a century,

as Simon Gompertz reports. The first money from

a hole in the wall. You put in a voucher and a code

to replace it with a machine. We're moving towards

branches in the UK and soon Smart ATMs, as we're calling them,

in the future will provide 99% of all the services

that people can get That is not a world everyone

will welcome but the technology unleashed back in the '60s

is still transforming the way Thank you for it all your ATM

stories. I have two facts for you. Apparently, we have a four digit

code but the inventor's wife called Caroline couldn't remember six

digits so they made it four. In Lapland, ATMs push out hot air so

that snow doesn't get into the mechanics. Thank you for all your

comments. Tracy says she never carries cash and hasn't had any

issues yet. At the heart of the deal struck

between the DUP and the Government is this extra one billion pounds -

400 million of which will be spent on infrastructure

alone over two years. But this pact has prompted calls

for matching public investment Is his passion for votes. In two

years' time, they will come back and asked the even more money. What's

happened here, taxpayers in England, Wales and Scotland will continue to

suffer austerity and Northern Ireland won't. If you do the

calculation based on what is being invested in Northern Ireland. I

welcome it, but not the issue but it has to be done under the rules. It

would mean in this case that if Scotland was to get its fair share,

we would be talking about spending in Scotland of up to an additional

2.9 billion. The reaction from people

in Belfast has been mixed. I think in terms of the economy it

will get us on the map. It is a fantastic deal

for the people of Northern Ireland, How it goes down elsewhere we'll

have to wait and see. I think it is a waste,

you need to get the executive working again at the minute,

before you start giving more money, We can now speak to the former Work

and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Thank you for taking the time to

talk to us this morning. Let me put a quote to you." "There

isn't a magic money tree that everybody wants further spending,

everybody wants." That is what Theresa May said in a run at the

general election. How do you find ?1 billion in order to make sure that

you get what you want in government? The first thing about the money I

think is worth looking at if you delve into it, certainly over half

of it is money that was already guaranteed to the Northern Irish

government. For example, the Northern Irish government, quite

rightly, for some time, before all these problems, complained that the

southern Irish have got a much more impressive Corporation tax position

and they wanted to be able to lower their corporation tax to meet them.

There are also other issues are around the wealth they will form

Bill. The extra money really comes down to infrastructure spending and

it is worth reminding ourselves and I served over there many years ago,

that Northern Ireland is always and is particularly a special case

because of the troubles that took place and it led to a massive

falloff of investment in Northern Ireland and the huge backlog of

requirements for things like investment in buildings and roads et

cetera. This is all part of that process. The interviews with others,

that's all nonsense. There has been huge direct investment into places

like Scotland and Wales which wasn't mirrored in Ireland. I don't

remember them saying that this all had to be replicated in Northern

Ireland not just two years ago. There is constantly a process of

investment in particular pro -- projects relevant to that area and

this is very reasonable. The government at the end of the day has

elected a majority with a majority party and therefore needs to get its

business straight. Can you clarify, how much of this is

extra money? Are you saying everyone has it wrong when they say it is a

?1 billion deal? I am not in government, so I don't have the

exact details... The money is there and what I am saying is a chunk of

that was already earmarked. When I was in government I remember that

this money was earmarked if they did certain things, and that this was

originally pencilled into the margins for this kind of spending so

not all of this is in any way of new money, the new money is going into

infrastructure spending which has been a debate going on forever and

as I say that kind of spending on infrastructure has gone into the

city deals like Alaska and Cardiff and others which is money not

replicated in Northern Ireland and other parts of England. This is a

constant process so the Barnett formula is not relevant here at all.

So from the backbenches how much does this taste when the Prime

Minister preaches austerity and tells us there is no money for

unnecessary causes and all of a sudden find extra money, the figure

of this is disputable as you have made clear, to get extra votes?

Well, I have to tell you that the figures themselves are, on the scale

of the UK economy, very, very small indeed but they are also relevant in

this one regard. But the government already has a big infrastructure

increased spending plan to go across the United Kingdom. So there is in

the case that we don't want to invest in the structure spending,

there is huge infrastructure spending, in HS2 and upgrading the

railways, boldly totalling more than ?100 billion that, huge railway

schemes which have been invested in in the last tee years. There has

been a big increase in infrastructure spending across the

board. The idea of the austerity programme was to get the deficit

down to zero so that we don't increase our borrowing and that is

the key target of what they are trying to do with infrastructure

spending. Infrastructure spending is beyond that deficit, and was planned

separately. How much can you guarantee that this is not going to

affect the Stormont agreement? My general view, actually, listening to

what Sinn Fein said about this, to be quite frank with you, is it is

properly quite likely to help the agreement because it means that one

of the areas of dispute which was going on between national government

and the others, about the needs of Northern Ireland, the peculiar and

particular needs of Northern Ireland en route to forming that agreement,

or rather that shared government, some of that has been taken off the

table, it appears from this. I am not privy to the discussions and not

in government but my sense about this is that all sides now know they

need to have settled administration up there, in the last thing they

want is direct rule. I therefore hope that on the balance of this

agreement this will allow them to say some of that is taken off the

table, let's get down and thrash out what we need to do with each other.

And that will be the commonsense thing, after all, we want this to go

ahead. If it helps in that regard, I think that will be a good thing.

Iain Duncan Smith, thank you for joining us from Westminster. We will

have more on that later on, speaking to Sir Michael Fallon at 8:30am this

morning. Here is Carol with a look

at this morning's weather. It is a little bit soggy for some of

us. You can say that again. Good morning to you. We have rain across

the northern half of the country, a little bit in the south but there is

more yet to come. If you are just stepping out, make sure you pack

your brolly. Overnight we have had rain across Northern Ireland,

Scotland, northern England and Wales. Some of that is heavy in the

next three or four hours we could see 40 millimetres of rainfall so a

lot of surface water and spray on the roads, possibly some localised

flooding. At this stage, at 8am, the rain not yet across northern

Scotland. A chilly start with rain arriving later. For Northern Ireland

rain continuing to push away but you will see a return to sunshine and

showers and through the afternoon some of the showers will be heavy

and thundery. Heavy rain moving across northern England, especially

around Cumbria, and that rain extends into Wales. A secondary band

across the Midlands over in the direction of the Wash, and as he

comes out, quite a bit of cloud with a little bit of sunshine. Through

the day the rain continues to drift north eastwards, heading across all

of Scotland. It turns more patchy nature and a little bit lighter

across northern England. Sunshine and showers for Northern Ireland,

some of those heady and thundery and we import from the near continent

are the showers across southern counties of England. Some of those

will be heavy and thundery as well. But as is the way with showers not

all of us will see them. We will also see a weather front bringing in

further showers across south-west England and Wales. You see what I

mean. You will need your brolly, it is messy picture, and it will feel

quite soggy in the south-east, currently across Scotland. As we

head through the evening and overnight period the weather front

coming in from the west and all this rain in the east merge, and we will

have a wet night across England and Wales. Travelling northwards into

the far north of England, southern Scotland and Northern Ireland. Dry

with a few showers across Scotland. The rest of Scotland, that is, and

temperatures well in double figures so it is not going to be a cold

night. And that is how we start tomorrow. It is complicated. We have

tee areas of low pressure merging, one of them is heading north

westwards. -- two. They will give quite a lot of rain. Parts of the

south-east could well mist out in this rain and we will see something

dry but a fair bit of cloud. To the north of it we are looking at

something dry and bright but bright rather than sunny across Scotland.

Down the east coast with an onshore flow it will feel quite cold,

especially if you are in the rain. At best our temperatures range 12 to

19. This is disappointing if you remember that last Wednesday we hit

dizzy heights of 34.5dC. Tomorrow the best we are going to do is 19,

so quite a change. Thank you very much for that. We will see in a few

minutes was time. There is some good news this morning

for this bird you can see behind us. This is the bittern,

which was endangered here in the UK, but conservationists say

it is making a return Breakfast's John Maguire

is at a wildlife reserve that has been designed to help nurture

birds like this one. We are actually a little bit away

from that reserve which has been worked on over the last couple of

years. We will give you a birds eye view of where we are standing at

moment. Just coming up to high tide now. On the other side of the

peninsula is the Bristol Channel, and what has happened in last couple

of years is that a relief channel has been dug into the land here. We

were here a couple of years ago, and it has been returned to what it

might have been many hundreds of years ago and it has benefited lots

of the wading birds and different wildlife, some of which, thinking

about species such as the bittern, have not been seen for a very long

time or have not done well in this part of the world for a long time. I

have been birding and looking at the landscape for 30 odd years and it

has been transformed by conservation efforts, by people like the wildlife

trust and the Somerset Wildlife Trust, where they have made

incredible strides in recreating habitat that used to be here in

mediaeval times. What has made the difference? The work you have done,

as I say, we were here for the last few years and there were enormous

diggers digging the channels, what have they actually done? They have

completely transformed the landscape. We are standing on the

old fence here, and that is flooding of the low-lying fields, recreating

this habitat behind us. We have seen big changes in the amount of birds,

and peak numbers of 25,000 birds, which is absolutely fantastic in

just two years. So build it and they will come. As someone once famously

said. That is the point, people such as yourselves have had to step into

of get these species back, I suppose. They were lost in the first

place because of man's intervention but now we are bringing them back.

In particular heroes we are standing whether Somerset Levels hit the sea,

the drainage of the levels which the Romans started during the 30s and

40s and 50s wrapped up, because of new pubs and it got dryer and dry

and drier, and the bird started to disappear -- new pumps. It is not

just about birds but about wildlife. This is now one of the most amazing

places in the south-west of England, to have a true wildlife, almost

wilderness at, experience. You do feel as if you are a long way away

from civilisation. In fact we are not that far away. The M5 is just

the other side of these powerlines, which are going down to Hinkley

point nuclear power station just behind the camera Mander. As Nigel

was saying, what have the Romans ever done for us? They start of the

agriculture in this part of the world. It is now in certain places

being reclaimed for wildlife just as it was all those centuries ago.

Thank you very much, and it looks beautiful down there, absolutely

stunning. Still to come this morning:

He'll face Canadian Vasek Pospisil in the second round.

The three-time Wimbledon champion has slipped to number four

in new surroundings and with his new coach Andre Agassi.

I'm excited to be in a new place, you know, I don't get

You know, we have pretty much the same schedule every

Let's return to one of the big stories of the last few days

and the continuing fallout from the Grenfell Tower fire.

Since the disaster urgent checks on buildings across the country have

The number that have now failed fire safety checks stands at 75.

That's across 26 local authority areas in England.

In Camden in North London - residents have been evacuated

from five tower blocks - but some including Roger Evans

Of never thought about it for. I assumed everything was safe. If a

council property, it's meant to be maintained well. Evidently, we have

been living in a potential death trap.

The US firm that supplied cladding used on Grenfell Tower say it has

ended global sales of the product for use

The government testing facility can analyse 100 samples

a day and runs around the clock but ministers say they are concerned

at the speed at which samples are being submitted.

Joining us now from our Tunbridge Wells studio

is Niall Rowan - Chief Operations Officer

at the Association for Specialist Fire Protection.

Why are these samples failing? The samples are failing because they are

not limited combustibility which is a requirement of the approved

document to the building regulations. We know 75% of these

have failed. ... 75. We are trying to test up to 600 building. If the

timescale... People are frustrated. It takes a while to prepare the

samples for the tests because of the type of test they use involves

grinding up the material. I think also the comment about tidiness is

that they are not receiving the samples from the local authorities.

It is just a logistical thing. You say they felt those test. Is it

because the test is more rigourous than the regulations and if that's

the case, why is that the case? The test is designed to determine

whether or not the cladding is of limited combustibility. It is used

in one of the series of tests. It is the requirement of the regulation in

approved document be. The reason they are all failing is because many

of these panels have been put onto the building by means of a desktop

study rather than testing. What does that mean? So people are not

actually practically testing the material in terms of looking at what

it can do? A desktop study will look at the available evidence which may

be some of these and it could be other types of test. Assessing it

against another document. If this is done properly by a proper fire

safety engineer and a proper assessment is undertaken, and there

is nothing wrong with a desktop study. I have heard expressions of

doubt over the rigour of some of these assessments and I think that

might be also the area. There is also guidance published which allows

a slightly lower caste immaterial. A more flammable cast. Suited the

regulations need to change? -- so, do the regulations need to change?

We have been calling for the regulations to change for some time

for a variety of reasons. Other things that aren't to do with

cladding as well. It would help if the regulation was a bit more robust

in terms of that kind of assessment. Or, they might just say you must

test it in a series of rigourous full-scale tests. The tightening up

of the assessment process would help enormously. You know this subject

inside out. I wonder if you could help with some of the questions

being asked. Should people living in the other blocks be worried and why

was the Camden Lock evacuated and should that have happened. -- block.

Whether or not the block is evacuated, I believe Kamdyn took

their advice from a local Fire and Rescue Service. -- Camden. People

will be careful in their flats with respect of fire. Also, just have

people in the building watching and looking. The work has to be done,

there is no doubt about that but to suddenly have defined -- to find

housing for thousands of people, it is a tall order. Carol is here to

look at the weather. It is about time we had a good downpour for the

gardens, isn't it? We certainly do have that on the

cards today. It is raining heavily at the moment in parts of the UK. It

is raining across northern England, Wales, southern and central

Scotland. We have weak band of rain a little bit south. The rain will

continue to journey north eastwards for the course of the morning. We

could see up to 40 millimetres falling by the time we get to noon

so that is quite a deluge. A lot of surface spray on the roads and at

the same time, another band coming up from the near continent across

the ink which channel and the Channel Islands into Southern

counties. This band is going to be a showery ones with some thunder

embedded in it. The nature of the showers means we will all not see it

and they will be on and off. Then we have a weather front affecting

south-west England and Wales, introducing more showers that in

between, a fair bit of clout and dry weather. The rain is turning more

patchy and clearing Northern Ireland and leaving some of the showers.

Some of them in the West could be heavy and Bunbury. For Scotland, the

rain continues to push up and eventually getting into northern

Scotland. Something bright and showery coming into the West. The

north-east England, we do have an onshore flow so that means if you

are right on the shoreline, it will feel chilly. Through this evening

and overnight, we carry on with the rain pumping up from the near

continent and it joins forces with the rain out in the West. It will be

a wet night across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Whereas for

Scotland, something drier but still a few showers. Temperature wise,

good shape. It won't be cold and it won't be as muggy as it has been.

Tomorrow, we start off with our two areas of low pressure. They tend to

merge so again, we will see a band of heavy rain across England, Wales

and Northern Ireland that we could well get away with some dry deluge

in the south-east. You have dry picture in Scotland. Look at the

wind arrows, though. They are coming in from the North Sea down across

Scotland and northern England. If you are on the shoreline once again,

it will feel a bit nippy on a particularly if you are stuck under

the band of rain. Temperatures, have to say, a bit disappointing for this

time in June. We looking at 19 as we sweep down to the south. As we head

into Thursday, more rain, still rotating around the area of low

pressure, coming across Scotland, Northern Ireland, northern England,

Wales and into the south-west and the Channel Islands. We will see a

few showers coming into southern counties that here, too, we are

expected some sunshine. The crowd breaking at a go through the course

of the day and we will have further sunny spells developing and

temperatures up a bit, 21. As we moved to the other side of that

rain, breezy in the North with a few showers across north-west Scotland.

Pack your Tom Bell is is my advice for the next few days. -- brollies.

Congratulations to the victory in the Chepstow at 2:30 p.m.. We

recommended a horse named Carol, and she won the race. Lots of people

saying they have a little flutter. And says -- Anne says she won ?4.70.

It is exactly 50 years since the world's first cash machine

But do you still carry cash, or do you prefer cards and contactless?

Ben has been looking our changing habits.

You can pay for everything on your phone. I usually have a tatty tenner

in the wallet which never gets used. Yep, 50 years ago today,

the world's first cash machine doled out its first banknotes,

at a Barclays branch in Enfield. Now, there are more than 70,000

ATMs across the country. But with cards, contactless

and online payments, Less than half of all the payments

we make now are in notes and coins. It is great to have a contactless

society. Our sons and daughters do not have cash in their pocket at

all. I love contactless cards. When we first started we didn't know what

they were. When the lady said you just tap this thing, I couldn't

believe it. It is not very efficient because you don't know how much you

spend. When you have cash you know when your wallet is empty. I use a

card but never contactless, because I don't trust it. Even if we are

going to the pub, contactless is definitely the way forward.

Well, joining me now is Adrian Buckle from Payments UK,

the trade body that records how payments are made,

and Ross Brown, a cafe owner who made his business completely

Good morning to you both. I will start with you. You made your cafe

totally cashless, so I can't go in and pay with a fiver to get a cup of

tea. Why not? We decided it was the way to go. We went on holiday last

year, Sweden are pushing the cashless economy and we came back

and research that and we have some great, loyal customers. I talked to

them and our staff, did some more research and thought let's go for

it. It has been fantastic. What benefits do you get from not using

cash? It is a big fat for a small business. It makes life very easy.

We can spend our time doing things we want to do. We are a hospitality

business, we are there to host you, and I would rather be doing that

than counting can be. That is a point, cash takes time, money and

effort to look after. While businesses might not want to use it,

customers still love it. Absolutely, and the vast majority use cash all

the time. There are relatively few, around 3 million are almost cashless

but at the same time 2.7 million people use only cash, so there is a

great variety in the way people like to pay, and most of businesses find

themselves more successful if they give people the choice. We have long

predicted the death of cash and therefore the cash machine, which is

why we are talking about it today. It will be around for a good while

yet. Absolutely. 40% of payments last year were made with cash.

Although that is changing, ten years ago it is to those of payments, one

in five payments are still expected to be made with cash. I think it

will still be around for the foreseeable future. And I imagine it

is a certain type of customer, maybe the younger customer, who have

smartphones and contactless payments, and contactless cards. If

they do want to use cash, what do they have to do? Unfortunately they

can't be our customers, but that is a tiny proportion of people. We were

already we made the shift. To the pros outweigh the cons? I imagine

you have to turn some customers away. If someone comes in and they

don't have a card, you can have one on the house, but the vast majority

of people are so happy to use their cards, it is easier for them. They

are happy to do it, especially with contactless. What sort of

transactions are you still seeing cashews? Cash is very much used in

retail, travel, entertainment, and to the glee among some small

businesses who don't have the ability to accept a card payment.

Although we are seeing a lot of change in that area. I think the one

thing is that people of all ages do like to use cash, but for those who

are dependent on cash, it tends to be people on lower incomes. And that

is something that businesses need to bear in mind, that there are people

out there who prefer not to use other payment methods, and other

people who don't feel able or confident to use those methods and

they still need ways to pay. They still need to be able to buy things.

If other businesses want to do the same as you have done, any advice? I

had a call last week, friend of mine who wanted to know how it was going

and whether he could do the same thing. I have a lot of people asked

me how it is going, Howard going. They sort of say at I can't do it,

but I would say go for it. I think it has made our business a lot

better. It is really nice to hear both sides of that, I would say both

sides of the coin, but excuse the pun. Keep your comments coming in. I

have had loads of messages about whether you trust it, Thomas says I

use my kin, but others say it all their cards are contactless. And

Julie is exactly the same age as the cash machine, so happy birthday,

Julie, the same age as the ATM. Railways and romance -

that is the perfect combination for Geoff Marshall and Vicki Pipe,

who have decided to spend their summer visiting every single

train station in Britain. It will take them 14 weeks to travel

to all 2,563 stations. Our correspondent David Sillito went

to spend a day with them. We are travelling to all 2,563

railway stations in Great Britain. It is the cutest rain

I have ever seen. Geoff and Vicki, in Star Bridge,

on a class-139 people mover. This looks fun, so I asked

if I can join them. Geoff, Vicki, I feel

as though I know you already. So we both have an interest

in railways, from coming from very How are you enjoying Skegness

and the weather so far? I can't really blame Skegness

for the weather, can I? Life is short, you should

have an adventure. Shippea Hill is Britain's least-used

station, and there is no-one here. 12 people used Shippea Hill

request stop last year. Geoff and Vicki managed

to get 19 for their visit. We have got Victoria sponge

cake, which is amazing. And, as you can see, they have

already acquired some fans. Shall we talk about

the Peterbrough incident? We can talk about the

Peterbrough incident. I lost track of time

at the cathedral. Every day, I edge

towards the line of doubt. As Ernest Hemingway once famously

said, do not travel with those David Sillito, BBC News,

at a railway station I sort of admire them. I wish them

luck. They are spending... What is it, or 14 days? 14 weeks.

Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.
