This is Breakfast with Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
The next step into finding out what caused the tragedy | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
at Grenfell Tower - a retired High Court judge will be | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
appointed to lead the public inquiry. | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
It comes as the group representing housing associations calls | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
on the Government to stop its testing of cladding | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
because the results are already so conclusive. | :00:22. | :00:41. | |
Also this morning: Theresa May faces a further challenge to her authority | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
today, as Labour tries once again to force changes to the Queen's | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
One of the highest ranking Cardinals in the Roman Catholic Church has | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
been charged with historical sex offences. | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
Good morning from the gateway to Snowdonia. Figures today show the | :01:02. | :01:09. | |
number of people being rescued in the mountains is up on last year. | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
Later in the programme we will find out why. | :01:14. | :01:14. | |
Ten years ago today, the first iPhone went on sale | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
But how have they changed the way we live? | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
We've come to Sheffield to hear about a multi-million pound plan | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
by the lawn tennis association to revamp grassroots tennis | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
and we're also launching our Breakfast summer challenge | :01:35. | :01:42. | |
with world number one Andy Murray the first to take it on. | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
Good morning. We've got a lot of cloud across the skies today | :01:47. | :01:59. | |
bringing heavy rain for northern and western parts. I will have a full | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
forecast in 15 minutes. A retired Court of Appeal judge, | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
Sir Martin Moore-Bick, is today expected to be appointed | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
to lead the public inquiry The news comes as police say | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
at least 80 people are believed to have died in the fire, | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
but they don't expect to confirm the exact number for at least | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
another six months. The Government says it is determined | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
to get to the truth of what happened at Grenfell Tower, and this | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
is the man set to be given that task - a retired Court of Appeal judge, | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
Sir Martin Moore-Bick. He specialised in commercial law, | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
in a career spanning With the clamour for answers, | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
he will be expected to produce his The police say they may not be able | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
to confirm how many people died until the end of the year, | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
at the earliest. They estimate so far | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
that the death toll stands at 80, but stress that is not | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
the final picture. Some victims may | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
never be identified. As the investigation continues, | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
the National Housing Federation is calling on the Government | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
to stop its testing of cladding, and instead focus on removing it, | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
to make people safe. Having had 120 different tests, | :03:03. | :03:10. | |
from different samples, from different buildings, | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
in different parts of the country, I think we can now say that, | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
according to the tests that the Government is carrying out, | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
this cladding is not We don't need to test | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
any more of it. Today, another victim of the fire | :03:21. | :03:28. | |
will be laid to rest. His family say they are devastated, | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
and will miss him terribly. The sad reality is there will be | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
many funerals to follow. Our political correspondent | :03:35. | :03:43. | |
Alex Forsyth joins us This will be a significant decision | :03:44. | :03:56. | |
- who leads this enquiry - talk through the politics behind it. We | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
know that man who is charged with leading the quest for answers, Sir | :04:02. | :04:10. | |
Martin Moore-Bick, a long career in commercial law, with expertise and | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
in highly technical cases and respected by colleagues. We | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
initially expected the appointment of this judge within days. It has | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
taken two weeks. Part of the reason for that is ministers know it is | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
crucial to get this right from the start. You will remember the child | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
abuse enquiry which is going on at the moment. But as that four | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
different chairs since it was set up, prompting lots of criticism. | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
There is understandable concern that public enquiries can drag on, beset | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
by problems, they can fail to get to the truth. The Prime Minister made | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
clear in this case she wants no stone left unturned, she wants | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
residents to be involved. She has appointed a chair and it is vital | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
this command is public trust. For the moment, thank you. | :04:56. | :04:56. | |
Theresa May will face a major test of whether she has enough authority | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
to stay in power, as MPs vote on the Queen's Speech later today. | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
With the support of the Democratic Unionists, | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
the government is expected to pass its plans for the next | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
Parliament, after narrowly surviving a vote last night on changes | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
But Jeremy Corbyn is calling on MPs to support Labour's plans | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
Our political correspondent Leila Nathoo reports. | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
The ayes to the right, 309-darter plot the first vote of this | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
parliament on a Labour amendment to the Queen's Speech proposing to end | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
the cap on public sector pay rises when the government's way. This was | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
the first test of Theresa May's deal with the DUP made to boost the | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
numbers on her side in the Commons. Last night it delivered - all ten | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
DUPs voted in line with the Conservatives to see off the | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
opposition's challenge. Today FM of the final vote on the Queen's Speech | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
which sets out the government's policy programme Labour will try | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
their luck against op yellow we're putting forward what was in the | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
manifesto in the election, on Brexit, which guarantees trade | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
relations with Europe, a government that ends the public sector pay gap | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
and a government that invests in the educational future of all children | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
from nursery through to university. Labour thinks it is on the front | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
foot with its calls to end austerity. Many Conservatives admit | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
the cuts didn't go down well on the doorstep during the election | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
campaign. But after signals from senior Cabinet members and Downing | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
Street sources that the paper would be reviewed, Number Ten later in | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
sister there was not yet any change in policy. We will not make our | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
decision on public sector pay until the Pay Review Body has reported and | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
we will listen to what they say and we will listen to what people in | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
this House has said before making a final decision. Theresa May is | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
expected to win the vote on the Queen's Speech today with the | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
support of the DUP and her backbenchers are likely to rebel. | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
But her majority is slim - her authority is still fragile. | :06:58. | :06:59. | |
Today is also the deadline for Northern Ireland politicians | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
to agree a power sharing executive at Stormont. | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
Discussions have been ongoing since January. | :07:05. | :07:05. | |
Our Ireland correspondent Chris Page is in Belfast for us this morning. | :07:06. | :07:14. | |
We have been waiting for this deal and they have been hopes for a deal. | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
How likely that we will get a deal? Morning, Naga. The time runs out in | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
under ten hours of the three time at 4pm this afternoon and the pressure | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
of their deadline hasn't broken the deadlock. Politicians negotiated | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
late into the night until around 2am this morning what I understand major | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
disagreements go on between the DUP and Sinn Fein. The sticking point is | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
the Irishman quit. Sinn Fein was legislation, the Irish language act | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
to protect and promote the Gaelic tongue, but the DUP want a broader | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
piece of legislation which would also cover issues which are | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
important to unionists. If the deadline does pass without a deal | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
and I think at the moment that is likely, then the Northern Ireland | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
Secretary James Brokenshire has a number of options - you can extend | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
the deadline, which has happened before, or he can get ministers from | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
London to take over some or all of the functions of the devolved | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
government hero Stormont. OK, for the moment, thank you very much. -- | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
here at Stormont. Australia's most senior | :08:18. | :08:18. | |
Roman Catholic official has been charged with historical | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
sex offences. Cardinal George Pell is responsible | :08:22. | :08:22. | |
for the Vatican's finances and is considered to rank third | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
in the Catholic Church worldwide. Our correspondent Phil | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
Mercer is in Sydney. Just tell us what the police have | :08:28. | :08:38. | |
said. The police say that Australia's most powerful Catholic | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
cleric and one of the most high-ranking officials in the | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
Vatican is facing multiple sexual assault allegations. We understand | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
that these allegations date back to the 1970s. What they do, they bring | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
the issue of abuse right to the door of the Vatican. Cardinal Pell is a | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
key financial adviser to the Pope and in a statement issued a few | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
hours ago the Cardinal said that he again strongly denied any wrongdoing | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
and said that he would be happy to have his day in court and would | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
return to Australia to strenuously defend the allegations. Now, he is | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
due to appear before a magistrate in the city of Melbourne on July the | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
18th. At the moment we don't know specifically the nature of these | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
allegations. We may know more in a week's time when a magistrate will | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
determine whether specific details of these allegations will be made | :09:35. | :09:35. | |
public. Thank you. The United States has announced | :09:36. | :09:37. | |
tough new security measures for commercial flights arriving | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
from more than 100 countries. It will mean enhanced passenger | :09:41. | :09:42. | |
screening and heightened security The measures stop short of expanding | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
the ban on laptops in hand luggage, imposed for flights from eight | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
countries in the Middle East, The Chinese President, Xi Jingping, | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
will arrive in Hong Kong later to celebrate 20 years since Britain | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
returned it to Chinese rule. A massive security operation | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
is under way as protests are planned Yesterday democracy activists | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
were arrested after chaining themselves to a monument | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
to symbolise the handover. Young people are resentful | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
of Beijing's growing involvement A decision will be revealed later | :10:16. | :10:17. | |
over a proposed merger between Sky If Ofcom approves the takeover, | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
Rupert Murdoch's company would assume total control | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
of the broadcaster - a deal which has been cleared | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
by European Commisision competition Opponents believe the deal | :10:31. | :10:32. | |
would give Murdoch too much power Families of those killed at | :10:33. | :10:52. | |
Hillsborough in 1989 have supported the decision to prosecute six men | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
including former police officers after 96 Liverpool football | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
supporters died as a result of overcrowding at the FA Cup | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
semi-final. Last year new inquest concluded the fans have been | :11:07. | :11:07. | |
unlawfully killed. The National Crime Agency says it's | :11:08. | :11:08. | |
becoming increasingly concerned about violent Albanian gangs | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
which it says are exerting "considerable control" over the UK | :11:12. | :11:13. | |
drug trafficking market. The agency says corruption among | :11:14. | :11:14. | |
staff working at ports and airports is a "key vulnerability", | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
making it easier for gangs Our home affairs correspondent | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
Danny Shaw has more. On their way to make an arrest on a | :11:21. | :11:43. | |
North Sea ferry. Earlier this year the National Crime Agency thwarted a | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
huge drug smuggling operation. Police. Can you open the door | :11:47. | :11:54. | |
please? It involved a P worker who was jailed along with a colleague. | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
His wife was convicted of money laundering. In the annual assessment | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
on organised crime the NCA says corrupt staff working at ports and | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
airports make it easier for gangs smuggling drugs. It says corruption | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
at the UK border is a key vulnerability. With the port of | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
Dover targeted by people smugglers. The report also says there is a | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
significant threat from Albanian gangs which have a growing influence | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
on organised crime in the UK. This is very much a group that is small | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
in number but big impact. So we have seen an emergence of violence | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
particularly around in forcing the drug trade in this group and hence | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
we have a specific response with partners where we tried the best we | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
can to try and disrupt them. We have some cases going through the courts. | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
We have taken large amounts of money out of it. It was the rising | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
violence alongside the drugs trade that causes the most concern. And a | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
warning about cyber crime. The agency says the scale is | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
underestimated. Many businesses failed to report attacks for fear of | :12:58. | :12:59. | |
damaging their reputation. Household energy bills and carbon | :13:00. | :13:01. | |
emissions will soar unless ministers devise new power saving | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
policies after Brexit, The Independent Committee | :13:05. | :13:06. | |
on Climate Change says EU energy efficiency rules on household | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
appliances have helped reduce It's warning that the UK government | :13:11. | :13:12. | |
now needs to to extend energy savings through better | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
home insulation. Music's returned to a part of Mosul | :13:16. | :13:29. | |
after it was liberated Musician Nabil Atrak-shi was forced | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
to hide his guitar for three years, Some students, who secretly | :13:33. | :13:43. | |
kept their instruments, have now returned to | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
study at the school. Those are the main stories. Mike is | :13:47. | :14:01. | |
out and about this morning and there is a certain rallying theme - tennis | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
is the theme. Where are you, Mike? In Sheffield. I have just hit an | :14:07. | :14:13. | |
awful shot, really embarrassing. Yes, I am in Sheffield at the Grace | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
health and sports centre. We are talking tennis. Everyone is getting | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
excited -- Graves. We are getting excited about Wimbledon. It starts | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
on Monday with Andy Murray, the top seed, and world number one. We are | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
asking what is being done about the next generation, like my friends | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
here and to make the game more accessible to all. Well, today it is | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
exciting because they are launching this association... They are | :14:41. | :14:48. | |
unending a funding pot of ?250 million to revamp tennis courts | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
across Britain, to put in floodlights, to make them multi- | :14:52. | :15:02. | |
surface or build indoor centres like you. That's what we are talking | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
about this morning. Plenty more to come. First, the rest of the sport. | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
A very important Lions announcement. The team has been announced for the | :15:13. | :15:14. | |
game on Saturday. Johnny Sexton and Owen Farrell | :15:15. | :15:15. | |
will start together for the Lions in the second Test | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
against New Zealand. Having the lost the opening test, | :15:19. | :15:20. | |
Warren Gatland's side have Captain Sam Warburton has also been | :15:21. | :15:22. | |
handed a start in one of three changes to the side beaten | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
30-15 last weekend. Usain Bolt was back on European soil | :15:28. | :15:29. | |
last night and the world record holder made a winning | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
return in the 100 metres. He won in a time of 10.07 seconds | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
in the Czech city of Ostrava as he prepares for the World | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
Championships in London this summer. There was an easy win | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
for the four-time Olympic He won his final 10,000 metre race | :15:44. | :15:45. | |
on an IAAF circuit in a near world best time this year of 27 | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
minutes and 12 seconds. British number one Johanna Konta is | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
into the third round in Eastbourne. A straight sets win over | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
Romania's Sorana Cirstea sets up champion Jelana Ostapenko this | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
afternoon. That's this afternoon actually. | :16:02. | :16:18. | |
Plenty more on tennis to come as we talk last till tennis and we will | :16:19. | :16:26. | |
reveal part of our summer Breakfast challenge, a huge mug, 30 seconds to | :16:27. | :16:35. | |
get tennis balls into this mode from ten metres. Charlie, you saw the | :16:36. | :16:42. | |
first attempt at this when Andy Murray gave it a go -- this mug. | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
Rather appropriately, Andy Murray kicks off the Game, Set, Mug | :16:49. | :16:57. | |
challenge. As many balls in that mug as possible. I saw it happened and | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
what didn't surprise me is he is so competitive about that! We will see | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
more of that later on! Here's Sarah with a look | :17:07. | :17:07. | |
at this morning's weather. It's been a bit rainy today, seems | :17:08. | :17:15. | |
like this is what the gardens have wanted? | :17:16. | :17:17. | |
That's right, good morning, at least a break for watering the garden is. | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
For many parts more rain in the forecast, this was yesterday at | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
Headingley in Leeds and similar skies today -- watering the garden | :17:29. | :17:38. | |
is. Cloud, wet and windy weather. Particularly wet weather this | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
morning for the north-east of England and for southern and eastern | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
Scotland with some heavy downpours and strong winds. Heavy rain in the | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
south-west of England, that will slowly ease but still pretty dam at | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
8am. As we move across the Midlands and southern England, it's looking | :17:54. | :18:00. | |
drier for East Anglia, some brighter spells but you could catch the odd | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
shower. Some drizzly rain elsewhere. It will be particularly heavy across | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
the likes of Fife and Aberdeenshire, difficult driving conditions through | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
the morning with a lot of lying surface water through the central | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
belt of Scotland. This area of rain will edge north and west, easing a | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
bit across parts of England but the rain pushing in across all of | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland. Drizzly rain for parts of Wales, | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
parts of south-west England into the afternoon but drier in the | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
south-east, 19 or 20. Pretty disappointing, just 13 or 14 under | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
the cloud and the rain towards northern and western parts of the | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
country with some really windy conditions here too. Onto this | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
evening and overnight, we will keep the breeze, cloud and wet weather | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
across Scotland into Northern Ireland, Wales and western parts of | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
England but the rain will ease in intensity, not as heavy as this | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
morning. By tomorrow morning, again Northern and western parts of the | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
country a bit disappointing with some cloud, breeze and outbreaks of | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
rain. Also some showers towards the south-east, you could catch perhaps | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
a happy or a thundery one but perhaps a bit warmer, 23 by tomorrow | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
-- heavy. We have this front slowly moving away from the south-east by | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
the weekend and then a ridge of high pressure building in by the time the | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
weekend comes. By the time we get to Saturday, a bit of rain in the | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
south-east but that should clear to leave a brighter and warmer day, | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
less windy with temperatures 16-22. That theme stays into the second | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
half of the weekend. On Sunday, largely dry conditions, perhaps a | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
shower in the far north-west but most of us drier and brighter, | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
15-23. Things looking up but we have quite a bit of rain in the forecast | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
today. Let's look through some of the | :19:56. | :20:06. | |
papers. Shall we start with the Guardian? A story yesterday there | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
was a lot of focus on, six people including two former police officers | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
have been charged with criminal offences over the 96 deaths in | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
Middlesbrough is a disaster and an alleged police cover-up which | :20:21. | :20:22. | |
followed -- Hillsborough disaster. That's on the front page of many of | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
the papers. On the front page of the Daily Telegraph. Many families | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
celebrating the news yesterday. Also on the front page of the Daily | :20:32. | :20:38. | |
Mirror as well. The front page of the Times, looking at a few stories, | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
the PC here is PC Wayne Marques, who has given a very graphic but very | :20:44. | :20:52. | |
emotional and startling account of what happened when terrorists | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
attacked people at London Bridge and Borough Market and he described how | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
he fought off three terrorists with his batting and he was stabbed and | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
blinded in one eye in that attack -- bat on. More of that interview after | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
8am, absolutely compelling interview. Front page of the Daily | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
Mail as well, security chiefs facing questions over how a hate preacher | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
was allowed to live in the UK for two years. Ben, where are you taking | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
us? To Tesco, in the Times they announced yesterday Tesco is cutting | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
1200 jobs days after saying more jobs would go at call centres in | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
Cardiff. All of this is part of the big turnaround plan Tesco launched | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
three years ago. It's intending to save ?1.5 billion as you can see and | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
it comes after Tesco recorded one of the biggest corporate losses ever | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
three years ago. This turnaround plan seems to be paying off because | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
in the last set of figures Tesco grew at its fastest rate since 2012. | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
Not great news if you're employed there, 1200 jobs going at Tesco but | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
nonetheless it is turning around its fortunes it says. I want to show you | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
this story from the Times. Japanese technology. Charlie, you and I wear | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
shirts, we have to get them laundered and cleaned, apparently | :22:10. | :22:17. | |
you hang it on a new high-tech hangar, it costs ?150. The shirt all | :22:18. | :22:24. | |
the hangar? The hangar, it is clean and it will get rid of smells, it | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
gets rid of grilled meat, I don't know why your shirt would smell of | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
grilled meat but you hang it for seven hours overnight. ?150. I would | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
have to look into that, would have to see if that is good value for | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
money. Quite a clever little idea. I think I will just put it in the | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
washing machine. Are you going to get one? No, only on sale in Japan | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
otherwise I would of course. We're at the time of year | :22:52. | :22:53. | |
when the days are at their longest But for those who enjoy hill | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
walking or mountaineering, there are warnings | :22:58. | :23:05. | |
about how to stay safe. is in Snowdonia for us this | :23:06. | :23:07. | |
morning. As I'm seeing behind you, as it is | :23:08. | :23:22. | |
here, visibility not that great. That's right, Charlie. A little | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
murky you could describe this morning, the gateway to Snowdonia, | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
if you go that way and carry on for a bit, you get to Snowdon. New | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
figures from mountain rescue said today the number of people being | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
rescued on the heels is up. 2000 people rescued last year, up 170 -- | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
on the Hills. There were only 14 days in the year were Mountain | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
rescue weren't called out. Hello. You got into trouble on Dartmoor, | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
what happened? I was training a group of youngsters for the ten | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
hills challenge and I was walking with them and we were about five | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
kilometres from the nearest road, the weather was very much like | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
today, I put my foot in a hole and fell over sideways and broke my | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
ankle badly. It can happen to anybody? Yes, I'm an experienced | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
walker, I've been on Dartmoor many times and a good navigator but it | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
can happen to anybody. Let's speak to Chris from Mountain rescue, white | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
or more people calling you guys? More people are getting onto the | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
hills. -- why are. They are less prepared and they don't realise the | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
mountains can bite back. It is good in a way if more and more of us are | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
venturing out? We are happy to see more and more people outdoors rather | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
than in front of a screen, it is good, but a lot of them lack the | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
experience, it is too easy to step out of the car and venture onto the | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
mountains without being fully prepared. What's the one piece of | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
advice you would give to people? Be prepared, there's a lot of | :25:02. | :25:08. | |
information out there, the Mountain Safe website, there are also clubs | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
where people can find information and learn how to get the right kit | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
and enjoy the hills. You were out overnight? I only got in at three | :25:18. | :25:24. | |
a.m.! Thanks for talking to us. Chris said be prepared, Ed Conway is | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
a self-styled adventurer who has got what got what he described as | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
essential kit -- what he describes as essential kit? You want the | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
outdoors to be in drawable, accessible and safe -- enjoyable. I | :25:39. | :25:46. | |
have paper maps. Phones don't always work. When it is cold the voltage | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
could drop and it could die. Take a paper map in case. Take a set of | :25:52. | :25:59. | |
gloves and a hat. Ahad porch, it gets dark every day, people forget | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
that sometimes -- a head torch. Some sweets for nutrition. In a backpack, | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
carry it on your back, that means you can spend more time outdoors and | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
enjoy it. I should tell you that Ed is the only person to have run and | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
swum the length of Britain? In 2013I decided to swim from lands end to | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
John o' Groats, which took three and a half months. I wish I knew then | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
what I know now because that was quite silly! A great bit of advice. | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
I'm going to leave you with the view. I have seen a better here, the | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
clouds are low, but even as it is it is a pretty stunning site. The | :26:43. | :26:45. | |
testament to the beauty of a place when it is tested chucking it down | :26:46. | :26:52. | |
with rain and it still looks beautiful. People like their scenery | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
like that, less than perfect, dramatic! | :26:58. | :26:59. | |
Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. | :27:00. | :30:19. | |
the weekend with temperatures in the low twenties. | :30:20. | :30:22. | |
That clearly wasn't Kate, it was Elizabeth, wasn't it? | :30:23. | :30:25. | |
I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom | :30:26. | :30:27. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast with Naga Munchetty and Charlie | :30:28. | :30:31. | |
We'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment but also | :30:32. | :30:37. | |
He's won Wimbledon and the Olympics twice, | :30:38. | :30:45. | |
but how did Andy Murray fair in our Game, Set and Mug challenge? | :30:46. | :30:48. | |
Scientists have been using ultrasonic detectors | :30:49. | :30:52. | |
to eavesdrop on bats' conversations in a London park. | :30:53. | :30:57. | |
We'll be revealing what they chat about about later in the programme. | :30:58. | :31:12. | |
# I don't wanna hear sad songs anymore... | :31:13. | :31:14. | |
She's been busy coaching other people in The Voice | :31:15. | :31:16. | |
and the X Factor, but now Rita Ora's back in front of the microphone | :31:17. | :31:20. | |
herself with a new single co-written by her pal Ed Sheeran. | :31:21. | :31:23. | |
She'll be here to tell us all about it before 9am. | :31:24. | :31:26. | |
But now a summary of this morning's main news. | :31:27. | :31:30. | |
A retired Court of Appeal judge, Sir Martin Moore-Bick, | :31:31. | :31:32. | |
is today expected to be appointed to lead the public inquiry | :31:33. | :31:35. | |
The news comes as police say at least 80 people are believed | :31:36. | :31:40. | |
to have died in the fire, but they don't expect to confirm | :31:41. | :31:43. | |
the exact number for at least another six months. | :31:44. | :31:46. | |
There'll be another big test for Theresa May in the Commons today | :31:47. | :31:49. | |
as she faces a key vote on the Queen's Speech. | :31:50. | :31:52. | |
With the support of the Democratic Unionists, the government | :31:53. | :31:54. | |
is expected to pass its plans for the next Parliament, | :31:55. | :31:57. | |
after narrowly surviving a vote last night on changes | :31:58. | :31:59. | |
Labour has tabled a further amendment ahead of today's debate. | :32:00. | :32:03. | |
Police in Australia have charged one of the most senior | :32:04. | :32:07. | |
Roman Catholic cardinals, George Pell, with sexually abusing | :32:08. | :32:09. | |
Cardinal Pell is in charge of the Vatican's finances | :32:10. | :32:12. | |
and is considered to rank third in the hierarchy of the church. | :32:13. | :32:15. | |
He is accused of multiple offences dating back | :32:16. | :32:17. | |
Catholic officials in Australia say he strenuously denies | :32:18. | :32:20. | |
A decision will be revealed later over a proposed merger between Sky | :32:21. | :32:27. | |
If Ofcom approves the takeover, Rupert Murdoch's company | :32:28. | :32:31. | |
would assume total control of the broadcaster - | :32:32. | :32:33. | |
a deal which has been cleared by European Commisision competition | :32:34. | :32:36. | |
Opponents believe the deal would give Murdoch too much power | :32:37. | :32:39. | |
Household energy bills and carbon emissions will soar unless ministers | :32:40. | :32:51. | |
devise new power saving policies after Brexit, | :32:52. | :32:53. | |
The Independent Committee on Climate Change says EU energy | :32:54. | :32:57. | |
efficiency rules on household appliances have helped reduce | :32:58. | :32:59. | |
It's warning that the UK government now needs to to extend energy | :33:00. | :33:03. | |
savings through better home insulation. | :33:04. | :33:09. | |
A reward of ?6,000 is being offered for information about four | :33:10. | :33:12. | |
Second World War medals, which were lost by a blind veteran | :33:13. | :33:15. | |
96-year-old Alfred Barlow was returning home from a pilgrimage | :33:16. | :33:18. | |
to Normandy earlier this month, where he fought on the beaches more | :33:19. | :33:22. | |
He noticed his medals were missing after leaving | :33:23. | :33:25. | |
the Norton Canes Services near Walsall. | :33:26. | :33:27. | |
Crimestoppers are now offering ?5,000 for their return, | :33:28. | :33:29. | |
on top of a reward from actor Hugh Grant of ?1,000. | :33:30. | :33:47. | |
Remember hearing him talk about that? He was just so upset. Moved a | :33:48. | :33:55. | |
lot of people. If you have any information, please get in touch. It | :33:56. | :34:00. | |
is time to talk to Mike to find out what he's up to today. He is in | :34:01. | :34:05. | |
Sheffield and he is playing tennis as long as it doesn't wear him out | :34:06. | :34:09. | |
too much. I am studying beforehand and | :34:10. | :34:15. | |
backhand of this four-year-old Sam. Look at the power he generates. What | :34:16. | :34:23. | |
a talent. The question is how to help youngsters like Sam at four how | :34:24. | :34:29. | |
to become the next champion like Andy Murray. Today the Lawn Tennis | :34:30. | :34:35. | |
Association hope to help, announcing a pot of money, ?250 million, to | :34:36. | :34:43. | |
revamp courts across Great Britain. We will get a word with him later | :34:44. | :34:51. | |
on. Yes, whether it is building indoor centres like here in Graves, | :34:52. | :34:54. | |
or floodlights and multicentre courts. Let's speak with two of the | :34:55. | :35:01. | |
coaches here. Jess, you had to face me earlier with the awful shots. | :35:02. | :35:08. | |
Sorry. Why do these facilities make a difference? You can see the | :35:09. | :35:12. | |
investment in Sheffield in tennis, it has been fantastic. We have kids | :35:13. | :35:18. | |
like Sam on court. We have had a huge investment in parks across the | :35:19. | :35:24. | |
city. We have had the courts all resurfaced and we want people out on | :35:25. | :35:27. | |
the courts especially in Wimbledon time. What more can be done to help | :35:28. | :35:34. | |
the likes of Sam become the next Andy Murray? The key thing is to | :35:35. | :35:38. | |
keep it fun. We what people put off because they are not interested. We | :35:39. | :35:42. | |
have great coaching programmes. The main thing is to make sure tennis is | :35:43. | :35:49. | |
accessible. It is for any age, Sam's age and older, any colour - it | :35:50. | :35:53. | |
doesn't matter your colour - able-bodied, it doesn't matter. | :35:54. | :35:59. | |
Anyone can play tennis. Centres like this are perfect. You can play any | :36:00. | :36:03. | |
time of the year. And how accessible is it, with all of the facilities | :36:04. | :36:08. | |
like this, although is it seen as a middle-class sport, for those with | :36:09. | :36:13. | |
money? Yes, it had an image of being a rich person sport, but that is | :36:14. | :36:18. | |
changing, hopefully. It is accessible, affordable. It doesn't | :36:19. | :36:22. | |
matter how much money you have. This centre is affordable. There are | :36:23. | :36:26. | |
people from all walks of life coming here. How much would you need, or | :36:27. | :36:32. | |
your parents' need to fork out? For a group lesson, ?22 for the term. | :36:33. | :36:38. | |
That is quite a few sessions. Hopefully that is affordable for a | :36:39. | :36:42. | |
lot of people. There are a lot of free tennis programmes available as | :36:43. | :36:47. | |
well. If you can't afford that, then there is a possible route for anyone | :36:48. | :36:51. | |
no matter how much money you have got. I am inspired looking at Sam. | :36:52. | :36:57. | |
He is still going strong. So, Jess, finally, I suppose the thing is that | :36:58. | :37:02. | |
if you want a game with a mate you turn up at a park and you can get in | :37:03. | :37:07. | |
and play cheaply? Absolutely, online we have Tennis Sheffield .com with | :37:08. | :37:12. | |
information on how to play on the brand-new courts. You can also turn | :37:13. | :37:16. | |
up with a friend, pay and play, we have coaching sessions. It is all | :37:17. | :37:20. | |
going on at the moment. Thank you very much. More from you later. | :37:21. | :37:25. | |
Let's go through the rest of the sport. Well done to Johanna Konta, | :37:26. | :37:31. | |
at home in Eastbourne and she is into the third round after an | :37:32. | :37:35. | |
impressive display yesterday warming up for Wimbledon of course. | :37:36. | :37:41. | |
She looked in impressive form as she beat | :37:42. | :37:43. | |
Romania's Sorana Cristea in straight sets. | :37:44. | :37:45. | |
She'll play the French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko today for a place | :37:46. | :37:48. | |
Johnny Sexton and Owen Farrell will start together for the Lions | :37:49. | :37:52. | |
in the second Test against New Zealand. | :37:53. | :37:54. | |
Having the lost the opening test, Warren Gatland's side have | :37:55. | :37:57. | |
Captain Sam Warburton has also been handed a start in one of three | :37:58. | :38:02. | |
changes to the side beaten 30-15 last weekend. | :38:03. | :38:13. | |
Sexton and Farrell together - interesting. | :38:14. | :38:17. | |
The 19-time world and Olympic champion Usain Bolt made his first | :38:18. | :38:19. | |
appearance of the season in Europe last night, | :38:20. | :38:22. | |
It is one of his favourite places to run. | :38:23. | :38:28. | |
And, of course, the Jamaican world record holder got the victory | :38:29. | :38:31. | |
Although he was disappointed with his time of 10.07 seconds, | :38:32. | :38:35. | |
and it continued his preparation for the World Championships | :38:36. | :38:38. | |
in London, which are now just over a month away. | :38:39. | :38:40. | |
Bolt plans to retire from Athletics after the Worlds. | :38:41. | :38:43. | |
There was also victory for the four-time Olympic | :38:44. | :38:45. | |
gold-medallist Mo Farah, who won his final 10,000 metre race | :38:46. | :38:48. | |
He dominated the field to come home in a near world leading time this | :38:49. | :38:58. | |
So, there we are. Back in Sheffield. Sam is still going. He is amazing. | :38:59. | :39:13. | |
He is means pressure. In a few moments' time we will launch game, | :39:14. | :39:22. | |
set and. It is five metres away from where you have to hit the ball. | :39:23. | :39:26. | |
Charlie, we will see how are you and Andy Murray, the world not all at, | :39:27. | :39:30. | |
got on at Queens when he was the first to take it on. I have to give | :39:31. | :39:35. | |
it a go. I will put down the microphone and you can see how it is | :39:36. | :39:40. | |
supposed to be done in my dreams. It is harder than it looks. Charlie, do | :39:41. | :39:45. | |
the commentary. Mike is going for the underarm technique and the idea | :39:46. | :39:50. | |
is simple - hit as many balls as you can in 30 seconds into the mug. I | :39:51. | :39:55. | |
have got one! Others have done better, it is fair to say. We will | :39:56. | :40:03. | |
see more of that later. Andy Murray, quite exciting, is our first | :40:04. | :40:07. | |
contestant. Pretty simple but a very entertaining talent. It brings out | :40:08. | :40:12. | |
competitiveness as well. Sarah will have the weather for us a little | :40:13. | :40:14. | |
later. Northern Ireland faces the prospect | :40:15. | :40:15. | |
of a return to direct rule from Westminster if today's 4pm | :40:16. | :40:19. | |
deadline to restore the devolved Power-sharing at Stormont | :40:20. | :40:21. | |
broke down in January, and after repeated attempts to forge | :40:22. | :40:25. | |
a deal talks are deadlocked. Let's talk to Kathryn Simpson, | :40:26. | :40:30. | |
politics lecturer at Good morning. For those people who | :40:31. | :40:40. | |
possibly find the situation at Stormont quite confusing, not sure | :40:41. | :40:45. | |
where we are, could you give us a few lines on where we sit today. | :40:46. | :40:50. | |
Today is the deadline for a power-sharing agreement to be put in | :40:51. | :40:54. | |
place for the executive in Northern Ireland. The deadline is 4pm. This | :40:55. | :41:00. | |
has been set in stone since a election in March, triggered by the | :41:01. | :41:05. | |
resignation of the late Mark McGuinness over the renewable heat | :41:06. | :41:08. | |
initiative scheme at the time in January. The things that will be on | :41:09. | :41:14. | |
the table I imagine today will be things like Brexit, same-sex | :41:15. | :41:20. | |
marriage, these kind of key issues, the Irish language act in | :41:21. | :41:26. | |
particular, to get together - how is a power-sharing agreement going to | :41:27. | :41:28. | |
be put together for Northern Ireland. These issues were on the | :41:29. | :41:33. | |
table before. They have been on the table for quite sometime and they | :41:34. | :41:40. | |
were still on the table in March. Talks were suspended for Easter time | :41:41. | :41:45. | |
and then also they were suspended again with the onset of the general | :41:46. | :41:51. | |
election. How much has personality played a part in this. Arlene Foster | :41:52. | :41:57. | |
and the late Mark McGuinness didn't have an excellent relationship in | :41:58. | :42:01. | |
comparison with the relationship that Mark McGuinness had with his | :42:02. | :42:06. | |
predecessors with the DUP and Peter Robinson, and also Doctor Ian | :42:07. | :42:11. | |
Paisley. That has played a role. The relationship between Arlene Foster | :42:12. | :42:16. | |
and Michelle O'Neill currently - there is a little tension. They need | :42:17. | :42:22. | |
to go past that. They need to put a devolved government together for the | :42:23. | :42:24. | |
best of Northern Ireland and power-sharing is what everyone wants | :42:25. | :42:31. | |
put in place. They have until four p.m.. Is the clock on the countdown, | :42:32. | :42:38. | |
is there a real prospect of something being achieved? Yes, there | :42:39. | :42:43. | |
is. There is no reason why they could not be ideal mate by 4pm | :42:44. | :42:50. | |
today. It is complex and there are key issues, like I mentioned | :42:51. | :42:54. | |
previously, to be discussed at this time. It is a possibility. There is | :42:55. | :43:00. | |
a delicate balance to be made between interference and influence | :43:01. | :43:06. | |
for the positive. I am talking about Arlene Foster's, the DUP's agreement | :43:07. | :43:11. | |
with Theresa May's Conservative government. Even in the whole run-up | :43:12. | :43:17. | |
to the agreement they said there would be no bias? This is the crux | :43:18. | :43:24. | |
of these negotiation. One of the things coming out is, the DUP have | :43:25. | :43:28. | |
been distracted because of this confidence in supply agreement put | :43:29. | :43:32. | |
with the Conservative government, and James Brokenshire is at pains to | :43:33. | :43:39. | |
stress he hasn't been privy to those negotiations in order to keep that | :43:40. | :43:43. | |
impartiality for power-sharing negotiations in Stormont. There are | :43:44. | :43:49. | |
questions on the other side, Sinn Fein has said, how impartial is the | :43:50. | :43:52. | |
government when we are putting together a power-sharing agreement? | :43:53. | :43:56. | |
That is what you are supposed to be when you put this together. It is an | :43:57. | :44:00. | |
issue and it will definitely be on the table and it will be discussed | :44:01. | :44:05. | |
as well. And the 1.5 billion that the DUP have secured for Northern | :44:06. | :44:09. | |
Ireland - how is it going to be distributed among the wider | :44:10. | :44:12. | |
community and evenly as well? Thank you very much for that. The deadline | :44:13. | :44:15. | |
is 4pm this afternoon. It is wet outside for many of us | :44:16. | :44:24. | |
this morning, although the gardens hopefully will be blooming. Sarah is | :44:25. | :44:30. | |
having a look at this. Good morning. Last week's heatwave is a distant | :44:31. | :44:34. | |
memory. We have a lot of cloud around today and some outbreaks of | :44:35. | :44:38. | |
heavy rain. We have seen a lot of rain through the last 24 hours and | :44:39. | :44:43. | |
there is a lot of standing water, so there are difficult driving | :44:44. | :44:47. | |
conditions with the weather. And particularly heavy in the north-east | :44:48. | :44:50. | |
of England and for southern and eastern Scotland. Not just the rain | :44:51. | :44:56. | |
but also the wind to contend with. Rush-hour through the central belt | :44:57. | :44:59. | |
of Scotland and you are likely to see some wet weather. Also across | :45:00. | :45:03. | |
Northern Ireland the rain is edging through the day, 13 or 14 in the | :45:04. | :45:08. | |
north-west with patchy rain in parts of northern England and Wales to the | :45:09. | :45:12. | |
south-west. Southern and eastern areas look dry and bright and also | :45:13. | :45:18. | |
overnight remaining dry too. Tomorrow morning temperatures | :45:19. | :45:20. | |
between 13- 14 first thing and we will continue to see rain across | :45:21. | :45:26. | |
parts of Scotland, northern England, Northern Ireland, Wales, into the | :45:27. | :45:31. | |
south-west. Some dry weather to the south-east, 23 degrees, a touch | :45:32. | :45:35. | |
warmer with heavy showers around. A little unsettled for the next few | :45:36. | :45:39. | |
days but things look dry and bright for the weekend. Back to you both. | :45:40. | :45:42. | |
Ten years ago today that the very first iPhone went on sale. | :45:43. | :45:49. | |
Who knew what they would then do to our lives! If you had asked me how | :45:50. | :45:56. | |
long the iPhone had been around, I would say longer by quite a bit. | :45:57. | :46:01. | |
There are obviously other brands but lots of people have them and it's | :46:02. | :46:06. | |
almost synonymous. You know Hoover and vacuum cleaner, smartphone app | :46:07. | :46:10. | |
and iPhone has almost become like that. It's had a massive impact in | :46:11. | :46:15. | |
terms of technology and what's achievable in along with other | :46:16. | :46:19. | |
iPhones, the terminology and technology has changed so much in | :46:20. | :46:24. | |
such a short space of time. Can I tell you this random fact? The first | :46:25. | :46:30. | |
smart phone had a boy's name, IBM Simon, 25 years ago this year. | :46:31. | :46:36. | |
Didn't know that! There's another boy we should talk to who knows much | :46:37. | :46:39. | |
more, Ben, good morning! Ten years since the first iPhone | :46:40. | :46:48. | |
came along and it really kicked off the revolution in smart phones. | :46:49. | :46:50. | |
Yeah, can you believe it's been that long? | :46:51. | :46:52. | |
Or does it feel like they've been around forever? | :46:53. | :46:55. | |
Ten years ago the first iPhones went on sale in the US. | :46:56. | :46:58. | |
They weren't the first smartphones but they totally | :46:59. | :47:00. | |
Apple introduced the idea of an app store | :47:01. | :47:03. | |
where you could download programmes to do just about everything. | :47:04. | :47:06. | |
Making calls, sending messages, ordering food, hailing a taxi | :47:07. | :47:09. | |
Almost anything you can think of, there's an app for it. | :47:10. | :47:14. | |
And this shows just how sales of the iPhone took off. | :47:15. | :47:25. | |
They got off to a modest start, 3.7 million in 2007, | :47:26. | :47:30. | |
Last year there was a dip in sales, some experts say that means we've | :47:31. | :47:41. | |
hit the peak, that everyone who wants one, | :47:42. | :47:43. | |
has one until something equally revolutionary comes along. | :47:44. | :47:49. | |
Matt Hunt is an app developer for Apadmi, who make some | :47:50. | :47:52. | |
Skyscanner and the BBC iplayer radio apps. | :47:53. | :47:55. | |
We should say to prove how much technology has changed things, we | :47:56. | :48:04. | |
are broadcasting live on the BBC Breakfast Facebook live page. Sarah, | :48:05. | :48:09. | |
our social media producer is with us, good morning, Sarah. Bradley in | :48:10. | :48:14. | |
the background and Tracey our floor manager. We will continue the | :48:15. | :48:19. | |
conversation after this interview on Facebook live so very multimedia | :48:20. | :48:22. | |
this morning. Matt, nice to see you. You brought some of these phones in, | :48:23. | :48:27. | |
they give you an idea of how much the market has changed. As I touched | :48:28. | :48:31. | |
on, it wasn't the first, the iPhone wasn't the first smart phone but it | :48:32. | :48:36. | |
did revolutionise the market? Absolutely, the smartphone industry | :48:37. | :48:39. | |
was trying to get going from the late 90s, early 2000s, things like | :48:40. | :48:44. | |
the phone there and the Eriksson are 380 which was the phone that was | :48:45. | :48:53. | |
first called a smart phone. -- R380. You could make calls and fold them | :48:54. | :48:58. | |
out. That was being developed and what we started to see in the | :48:59. | :49:01. | |
industry early on was the idea you could build your own apps and | :49:02. | :49:05. | |
install them and it wasn't until the iPhone first turned up that they | :49:06. | :49:08. | |
showed a different and better way that you could... I can't help but | :49:09. | :49:13. | |
laugh, look at that, that's 20 years old. You were very much around at | :49:14. | :49:19. | |
the time of this, you were involved in the early days? Absolutely. In | :49:20. | :49:26. | |
the early days, we've got phones, people said, and PDAs, portable | :49:27. | :49:32. | |
devices where you could do a camera and e-mail and staff, we brought | :49:33. | :49:36. | |
that together to bring about a smart phone. What Apple did was they | :49:37. | :49:41. | |
showed the industry a different way and they change the interface, how | :49:42. | :49:45. | |
simple and elegant it was, people used to stroke their iPhones. That | :49:46. | :49:52. | |
was one of the first iPhones? That's from our first office on display and | :49:53. | :49:56. | |
people used to love how clear the icons were and how good the graphics | :49:57. | :50:00. | |
work and you could download apps and choose what else you wanted on your | :50:01. | :50:04. | |
phone. Even though you could do that on some smart phones around at the | :50:05. | :50:08. | |
same time, it's weirdly difficult to do. From a business point of view, | :50:09. | :50:13. | |
it changed the way we did things, you can do mobile banking now, it's | :50:14. | :50:18. | |
not just about making calls and sending messages, businesses have to | :50:19. | :50:22. | |
change how they interact with consumers through smart phones. | :50:23. | :50:26. | |
Absolutely, the interesting trend we have seen is smart phones came along | :50:27. | :50:31. | |
and we as consumers drove the revolution, we want these things, | :50:32. | :50:34. | |
great, we use them, but businesses thought why can't we benefit and | :50:35. | :50:40. | |
change the way we do business? Even from education to medical, doctors | :50:41. | :50:48. | |
are saying why can't we use smart phones and benefit from them? The | :50:49. | :50:52. | |
dip in sales we saw on the grass, we hit the peak at the top of the | :50:53. | :50:56. | |
market, what will be the next big thing? -- the graph. They will | :50:57. | :51:01. | |
always entice us with the next big thing and there's interesting stuff | :51:02. | :51:05. | |
you hear that's coming along. We've been promised virtual reality or | :51:06. | :51:08. | |
mixed reality and we'd been promised some of these things that will start | :51:09. | :51:13. | |
to appear that we can access using our phones. Never predict Apple, | :51:14. | :51:18. | |
I've learned that. They will always surprise you. Good advice. Matt, | :51:19. | :51:23. | |
good to speak to you. A quick reminder, we will continue this | :51:24. | :51:26. | |
conversation and look at more of these phones on the BBC Breakfast | :51:27. | :51:31. | |
Facebook live page. More from me after 7am. Thanks, Ben. | :51:32. | :51:35. | |
It's that time of year, Wimbledon starting on Monday. We will have a | :51:36. | :51:43. | |
fun new addition, a massive Breakfast Mug. | :51:44. | :51:46. | |
BBC Breakfast has been challenging the world's top tennis players | :51:47. | :51:51. | |
to take on our mug, not Mike, but he is on a court in Sheffield | :51:52. | :51:55. | |
It's brilliant. This is the mugger, it is Giant, I could do with this | :51:56. | :52:04. | |
for my tea and coffee in the morning -- this is the mark, it is giant. -- | :52:05. | :52:12. | |
mug. You've got 30 seconds to get as many tennis balls into this month | :52:13. | :52:17. | |
from five metres. We have challenged all sorts of sports stars over the | :52:18. | :52:21. | |
last few weeks, including world number one Andy Murray and Charlie | :52:22. | :52:26. | |
was at Queens to Treasury this. Let's see what happened. | :52:27. | :52:29. | |
Andy, welcome to our BBC Breakfast Game, Set, Mug Challenge. Thank you. | :52:30. | :52:38. | |
Current world number one, reigning Wimbledon champion, you've been in | :52:39. | :52:42. | |
that tightest of situations. Do you feel tension mounting? I know a lot | :52:43. | :52:47. | |
of the other players have had a go so I don't want to be down the | :52:48. | :52:52. | |
bottom of the list. There's some serious rivalry going on. I know. | :52:53. | :52:57. | |
I'm going to set the clock, 30 seconds, as many balls as you like. | :52:58. | :53:01. | |
You can choose your style, do you know what style you're going to go | :53:02. | :53:06. | |
with? Overarm I think. You can hit them a little bit harder this way so | :53:07. | :53:10. | |
I'm trying to get as many... I want as many goes as possible in 30 | :53:11. | :53:15. | |
seconds. OK, got it. Ready, steady, go. That's one in. Andy's going for | :53:16. | :53:23. | |
very quick succession, he's not looking at the balls he is picking | :53:24. | :53:27. | |
up, he's kind of got a rhythm going on, I'm seeing quite a few going in | :53:28. | :53:32. | |
now. Look at the concentration on the face, he is concentrating as the | :53:33. | :53:36. | |
balls go in, 16 seconds, just coming up to ten seconds. I think you've | :53:37. | :53:41. | |
hit more balls than any other player we've seen. Going pretty fast. We've | :53:42. | :53:47. | |
got one second and that's time up. What was that? You think that went | :53:48. | :53:51. | |
well? I think that went very well. Come on then. Do the count for me. | :53:52. | :53:59. | |
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, 11, 12, 13, | :54:00. | :54:09. | |
14. 14 balls. Not bad. Not bad? Very good. Thank you so much and good | :54:10. | :54:13. | |
luck in the weeks ahead. Lovely to see you, thank you. | :54:14. | :54:15. | |
He set the bar really high. World number one, he was extremely | :54:16. | :54:23. | |
competitive, no escaping that. Mike is there with the Mug. You nearly | :54:24. | :54:28. | |
got hit their! It's not that easy, people are thinking it is easy but | :54:29. | :54:33. | |
it isn't, is it? The little girl showed how easy it was, straight in, | :54:34. | :54:37. | |
first go. They are loving it here, the youngsters at the graves health | :54:38. | :54:43. | |
and sports centre, it's not easy, I had a little go earlier. 14 is | :54:44. | :54:48. | |
incredible, that has set the boy bar really high. Let's see how Sam goes, | :54:49. | :54:55. | |
have another go! I asked him if he wanted to come nearer and he didn't, | :54:56. | :54:59. | |
he didn't want to be patronised. Andy Murray has set the bar really | :55:00. | :55:03. | |
high. Look at that, that was in. After a few little goes the | :55:04. | :55:09. | |
youngsters are doing really well, far better than me. What have you | :55:10. | :55:14. | |
made of this, have you got it in yet? Not yet but it was really | :55:15. | :55:19. | |
annoying when I hit a ball and it just landed on the edge. That | :55:20. | :55:24. | |
happened to me, so frustrating, isn't it? Well done, you keep going. | :55:25. | :55:29. | |
Sam, you played brilliantly this morning, how did you find it, what | :55:30. | :55:34. | |
did you make of the Mug? Good. You like it, do you approve, is it good? | :55:35. | :55:41. | |
Yeah. Have you got it in yet? No. What will it feel like when you do, | :55:42. | :55:47. | |
special? Yeah. Who is going to win Wimbledon? I don't know. A lot of | :55:48. | :55:53. | |
pundits will say that but we are going for Andy Murray. Really | :55:54. | :55:57. | |
addictive this, what is your name? Sarah. Have you got it in? Yeah. | :55:58. | :56:04. | |
What's the secret? I don't know. You got it in first go? Hit it soft. | :56:05. | :56:12. | |
Underarm or overarm? Underarm. Andy Murray went overarm but our players | :56:13. | :56:17. | |
here going underarm. It's getting really addictive, plenty more | :56:18. | :56:21. | |
challenges involving top tennis stars and other stars across sport | :56:22. | :56:25. | |
over the next few weeks with Wimbledon starting on Monday. Very | :56:26. | :56:29. | |
exciting. You think it is fair to ask a young person who is going to | :56:30. | :56:34. | |
win Wimbledon, let me ask you. Actually I'm going to say Rafa | :56:35. | :56:38. | |
Nadal. I would love Sir Andy Murray to win it for a third time but he's | :56:39. | :56:42. | |
been struggling with a few little niggles and injuries, form hasn't | :56:43. | :56:47. | |
been the best, for romantics, four Rafa Nadal to do it again would be | :56:48. | :56:51. | |
incredible. A fabulous answer. Thanks very much, Mike. | :56:52. | :56:56. | |
You get the picture, over the next few days all week or so we will get | :56:57. | :57:01. | |
a whole bunch of people to take part in the challenge. -- or weak. This | :57:02. | :57:09. | |
is the leaderboard. Andy Murray is on 14. He's the top and the bottom | :57:10. | :57:15. | |
of the leaderboard! More players and Mike said we will get more sports | :57:16. | :57:17. | |
people involved as well so Sunshine on the weekend with | :57:18. | :00:37. | |
temperatures in the low twenties. I'm back with the latest | :00:38. | :00:37. | |

but they don't expect to confirm the exact number for at least | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
another six months. The Government says it is determined | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
to get to the truth of what happened at Grenfell Tower, and this | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
is the man set to be given that task - a retired Court of Appeal judge, | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
Sir Martin Moore-Bick. He specialised in commercial law, | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
in a career spanning With the clamour for answers, | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
he will be expected to produce his The police say they may not be able | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
to confirm how many people died until the end of the year, | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
at the earliest. They estimate so far | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
that the death toll stands at 80, but stress that is not | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
the final picture. Some victims may | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
never be identified. As the investigation continues, | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
the National Housing Federation is calling on the Government | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
to stop its testing of cladding, and instead focus on removing it, | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
to make people safe. Having had 120 different tests, | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
from different samples, from different buildings, | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
in different parts of the country, I think we can now say that, | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
according to the tests that the Government is carrying out, | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
this cladding is not We don't need to test | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
any more of it. Today, another victim of the fire | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
will be laid to rest, His family say they are devastated, | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
and will miss him terribly. The sad reality is there will be | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
many funerals to follow. Our political correspondent | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
Alex Forsyth joins us It is a significant announcements. | :04:24. | :04:37. | |
Can you tell us more about the appointed judge? We had expected | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
this judge to be announced quickly. Instead we are some two weeks on. | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
Part of the reason for that is because it is so crucial that the | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
government get this right. There is an understandable perception among | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
some that public enquiries can be lengthy and can drag on, they can be | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
beset by problems. Think of the ongoing enquiry into child sexual | :05:00. | :05:06. | |
abuse which is on its fourth chair. The government can afford to make a | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
mistake on this. The announcement later today, the man who will lead | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
the years, had a long career in international law and is respected | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
by his colleagues. His challenge now is to lead this quest for answers | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
and in doing so, somehow restore public trust. | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
There'll be another big test for Theresa May in the Commons today | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
as she faces a key vote on the Queen's Speech | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
With the support of the Democratic Unionists, | :05:36. | :05:36. | |
the government is expected to pass its plans for the next | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
Parliament, after narrowly surviving a vote last night on changes | :05:41. | :05:42. | |
Our political correspondent Leila Nathoo has the details. | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
The first vote of this parliament on a Labour amendment | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
to the Queen's Speech proposing to end the cap on public sector pay | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
This was the first test of Theresa May's deal with the DUP, | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
made to boost the numbers on her side in the Commons. | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
Last night it delivered - all ten DUPs voted in line | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
with the Conservatives to see off the opposition's challenge. | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
Today the final vote on the Queen's Speech which sets out | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
the government's policy programme, Labour will try their luck again. | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
We're putting forward what was in the manifesto | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
in the election, on Brexit, which guarantees trade relations | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
with Europe, a government that ends the public sector pay gap | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
and a government that invests in the educational future | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
of all our children, from nursery through to university. | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
Labour thinks it's on the front foot with its calls to end austerity. | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
Many Conservatives admit the cuts didn't go down well on the doorstep | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
But after signals from senior Cabinet members and Downing Street | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
sources that the paper would be reviewed, Number Ten later insisted | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
there was not yet any change in policy. | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
We will not make our decision on public sector pay | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
until the Pay Review Body has reported. | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
And we will listen to what they say, and we will listen to what people | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
in this House has said before making a final decision. | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
Theresa May is expected to win the vote on the Queen's Speech today | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
with the support of the DUP and her backbenchers | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
But her majority is slim, her authority is still fragile. | :07:26. | :07:34. | |
Today is also the deadline for Northern Ireland politicians | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
to agree a power sharing executive at Stormont. | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
Discussions have been ongoing since January. | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
Our Ireland correspondent Chris Page is in Belfast for us this morning. | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
Chris, how likely is it we'll see a deal? | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
There has been a lot of discussion about whether or not a deal will be | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
met or agreed on by the deadline. That is right. At the moment I don't | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
think a deal is looking likely. The deadline comes officially at four | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
o'clock this afternoon that the pressure of that deadline has not | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
helped to break the deadlock. There are still gaps between the DUP's and | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
Sinn Fein. As I understand that the main sticking point is around the | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
issue of Irish language. Sinn Fein want a piece of legislation to | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
detect and promote the daily tongue. The DUP are looking for a broader | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
piece of legislation that cover cultural issues that are more | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
important for unionists. So what if there is no deal? Extensions to | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
political negotiations in Northern Ireland are not unknown. So they | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
could amend the law to extend the deadline. And sources are saying at | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
the moment that deadline is still very much for Cop this afternoon. | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
Alternatively, ministers in London could take over some or all of the | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
functions of the devolved government here. As we look to that deadline, | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
also, I suppose, having some influence in the talks if this | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
agreement and the Conservatives. I don't think the deal between the DUP | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
and the Tories have had a big impact or hindered the negotiations here. | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
Uni SA, well, the prospect of an extra ?1 billion to spend as a | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
result of the deal should make it more likely that Sinn Fein would | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
want to go back into government. Sinn Fein say that the issues is not | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
about cash, it is about issues like the Irish language. Nationalists say | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
they will be watching to see if the DUP get any special favours as this | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
new relationship takes shape of the coming months but the Tories say no, | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
that will not happen. The deal at Westminster is for everyone in | :09:38. | :09:38. | |
Northern Ireland. Police in Australia have charged | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
one of the most senior Roman Catholic Cardinals, | :09:41. | :09:42. | |
George Pell, with multiple Cardinal Pell is in charge | :09:43. | :09:44. | |
of the Vatican's finances and is considered to rank third | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
in the hierarchy of the church. He is accused of a number | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
of offences dating back The National Crime Agency says it's | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
increasingly concerned about the influence | :09:58. | :10:11. | |
criminals from the Balkans - particularly violent | :10:12. | :10:13. | |
gangs from Albania - have over the UK drug | :10:14. | :10:15. | |
trafficking market. In its annual assessment | :10:16. | :10:17. | |
on organised crime, the NCA says corrupt workers at ports | :10:18. | :10:19. | |
and airports make it easier It also warns about the threat | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
of cyber-crime from Russian-speaking Household energy bills and carbon | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
emissions will soar unless ministers devise new power saving | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
policies after Brexit, The Independent Committee | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
on Climate Change says EU energy efficiency rules on household | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
appliances have helped reduce It's warning that the UK government | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
now needs to take up the challenge. Here's our Environment | :10:43. | :10:50. | |
analyst, Roger Harrabin. We have more and more gadgets all | :10:51. | :11:00. | |
the time. TVs are bigger. Many homes have multiple screens. Our chores | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
done by machine. Yet the average home is paying less for energy than | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
we were before, according to the climate committee. It's because | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
appliances like this are being forced to be ever more | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
energy-efficient by EU regulations. That means they do the same amount | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
of work but for less power. It cuts on bills and it reduces carbon | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
emissions. But for how long? The biggest saving has been thanks to | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
its elation and gas boilers. Gas demand is down 23% since 2008, the | :11:32. | :11:38. | |
report says. It is exciting that we have managed to keep bills down as | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
well is getting emissions down. The reason for that, the reason we are | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
spending ?20 a month less on our bills is because of the tough EU | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
regulations. This government will have to make sure that we replicate | :11:54. | :12:05. | |
those regulations and improve them. Greater home installation is the big | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
challenge ahead. The committee says the government has to find some way | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
of persuading people to invest in making their homes warmer. Without | :12:13. | :12:19. | |
doubt, the UK's target for emissions and affordable energy will be | :12:20. | :12:20. | |
missed. She is one of the biggest stars on | :12:21. | :12:27. | |
the Parliament and her live shows as Aladdin minutes. But last night, | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
Dell suggested her to could be the last time she takes to the stage. | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
Plane to a record-breaking crowd at Wembley she said she does not suit | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
touring. She said who knows, I will remember this night for the rest my | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
night even though we may never see you again we will see about that. It | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
is 12 minutes past seven now. MPs will vote today on the Queen 's | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
speech. The big test on how much support a new government has. But | :12:59. | :13:00. | |
cross to Westminster. We're | :13:01. | :13:10. | |
joined by Asa Bennet, Assistant Comment Editor | :13:11. | :13:11. | |
at the Daily Telegraph This is a new style of politics in | :13:12. | :13:19. | |
parliaments. We saw a close vote last night, is this what we will | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
need to get used to? I think so. The Tories will have their work cut out. | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
After filling the support of the DUP, the ten MPs came out they turn | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
out there. It replicates the majority the government had thanks | :13:33. | :13:43. | |
to the DUP's help. It went labour's suggestion was rejected by 14 votes. | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
Obviously someone needs to elaborate. Strong and stable. That | :13:50. | :13:56. | |
was the phrase... It has been ditched now, to be honest, but | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
strong and stable. What does the vote last night tell us about strong | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
and stable? Many people question whether we are being governed by a | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
coalition of chaos at the moment. With the Conservatives, I think many | :14:10. | :14:16. | |
people would be great angry about be spending a lot of time lauding | :14:17. | :14:24. | |
emergency service and public sector workers but then they will march and | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
vote in real terms to slash their pay. With the Democratic Unionist | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
party dropping this government are, they have obviously got ?1 billion | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
of extra money for Northern Ireland but again, they have gone through to | :14:37. | :14:44. | |
vote against giving public sector workers a pay increase here. The | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
real problem, as you pointed out, the strong and stable government | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
that we will promise during this general election campaign is that | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
the messages all over the place yesterday and it is chaos. Senior | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
Cabinet and ministers suggesting the opening lead that the freeze it | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
should end. The problem with this government is that because the | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
authority of the leadership has imploded, discipline amongst the | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
party is imploding as well. There is no strong centre nor strong | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
leadership. You will get Cabinet ministers opening lead suggesting we | :15:15. | :15:23. | |
should freeze the and the -- end of the pay cut. | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
There's no escaping the notion that Philip Hammond seems to be free to | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
say what he wishes in a way he wouldn't have previously. That's | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
changed significantly, hasn't it? He talks with the competence of a man | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
who has had a near death experience and survive, Theresa May was about | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
to get rid of him but now after the election he is as safe as anything. | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
You've got an independent, freewheeling cabinet where people | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
are happy to speak their minds whether it be on the public sector | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
pay gap, austerity or Brexit and the end result is whereas before a well | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
drilled cabinet would be able to discuss things over the table, agree | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
their lines and sing from the same hymn sheet, now it is a real | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
cacophony when they should be focusing and get in line behind some | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
sort of message. At the same time, Owen, the reality is for the Labour | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
Party, we talk about cacophony of noise from the Conservative Party... | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
Great word. It is a great Jo good word. The votes are going through | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
and probably will go through. We've got another vote today. It leaves | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
Jeremy Corbyn almost in the same position as he was in practical | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
terms because this government is getting through what it wants to get | :16:41. | :16:47. | |
through, albeit uncomfortably? We're at the beginning in theory of ideas | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
of this, that's before... We're already seeing wages balding in this | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
country, the longest squeeze on wages in a very long-time -- | :16:57. | :17:04. | |
falling. The idea this government can keep itself together for five | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
years, a full-term parliament, keeping the Democratic Unionist | :17:10. | :17:11. | |
Party as well as rebellious backbenchers onside when the | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
authority of the Prime Minister, of the leadership of the Conservative | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
Party has imploded, it's a bit fantastical. You will have now, if | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
we've already got a situation where Conservative cabinet ministers are | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
openly briefing against their own party policy, and openly briefing | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
against each other and ridiculing each other. We've had Boris Johnson, | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
Philip Hammond, David Davies publicly briefing against one | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
another. The idea this government at a time when the country is facing | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
these series of crises can keep itself together is questionable, we | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
don't have strong and stable government in this country, no one | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
can argue that. Thank you both very much. | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
Looked pretty dry in Westminster but for lots of us there a lot of rain | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
around. Here's Sarah with a look | :18:06. | :18:05. | |
at this morning's weather. That's right. A lot of clout and | :18:06. | :18:15. | |
grey scenes in many parts of the country, this is what things are | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
looking like in Devon -- cloud. Heavier rain further north, | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
especially across parts of northern England and Scotland. That's how | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
things are looking today, pretty cloudy, some wet and windy weather | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
around, especially across the north-east of England, southern | :18:33. | :18:34. | |
Scotland. Antrim and Down in Northern Ireland seeing wet weather | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
edging northwards and westwards through the day. Further south the | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
rain isn't as heavy but patchy rain in parts of the south-west of | :18:42. | :18:42. | |
England, Wales. Into the Midlands, the south-east of | :18:43. | :18:49. | |
England and East Anglia, some drier weather, some brightness breaking | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
through the cloud but again the chance of catching a passing shower. | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
North Wales into northern England, outbreaks of rain this morning, | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
should ease later on but heavy rain across more easterly parts of | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
Northern Ireland into the south-east of Scotland, which is pretty heavy, | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
so difficult driving conditions on the roads especially in the far | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
north of England and the central belt of Scotland. Not just the rain | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
but also brisk winds, especially if you're exposed around the east coast | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
of Scotland and north-east England. Through the afternoon, rain edging | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
northwards and westwards. Further south and east it's a bit drier and | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
brighter, 19 or 20 in the south-east but under the cloud and rain you're | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
looking at around 13 or 14 across Scotland and Northern Ireland, | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
pretty disappointing for the time of year. Into the evening and | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
overnight, we keep the rain in many northern and western parts. A bit | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
drier tonight towards the south-east but a mild night wherever you are | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
with the cloud and breeze, those temperatures down to around 13 or | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
14. Tomorrow? A similar day to today, and the rain not as heavy but | :19:54. | :20:00. | |
patchy raincoat across Scotland, Northern Ireland, north-west | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
England, Wales and down to the south-west. Brighter in the | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
south-east, 23, but the chance of a few heavy and thundery showers into | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
the afternoon. The weekend? After this fairly unsettled, changeable | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
spell it looks like this weather front will push away to the east | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
allowing a ridge of high pressure to build into the weekend. Initially | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
some rain in the south-east on Saturday and a front into the far | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
north-west but much of the country having a better day. A return to | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
sunnier skies and temperatures, edging to 22 or so. That theme | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
continues on Sunday so and improving picture, higher pressure building | :20:36. | :20:44. | |
in, a drier day on Sunday, more sunshine on offer and temperatures | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
by Sunday up to 23. Quite different from today for many of us. Sarah, | :20:48. | :20:49. | |
thanks very much. Ben has details on Gatwick numbers. | :20:50. | :20:57. | |
We often talk about Heathrow but Gatwick are in the big row about who | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
gets the next big runway in the south-east. The airport only has one | :21:02. | :21:13. | |
runway and it's been battling with heave-ho to wind permission to get | :21:14. | :21:20. | |
another one. -- Heathrow to win. Gatwick was named and shamed as one | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
of the worst when it comes to delays. | :21:25. | :21:25. | |
30% of all international flights having at least a 30 minute | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
I will be speaking to the chief executive to ask about those delays | :21:30. | :21:37. | |
so stay tuned for that. The pound jumped nearly 1% | :21:38. | :21:39. | |
after the governor of the Bank of England suggested that | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
interest rates could rise Mark Carney said rates going up | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
would depend on whether a drop in household spending is countered | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
by more companies ploughing money The bank's interest rate | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
is currently at a record low And the iPhone turns | :21:53. | :22:00. | |
ten years old today. It wasn't the first smartphone | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
but it's fair to say it really transformed the market, | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
letting customers download apps allowing them to do | :22:07. | :22:08. | |
just about everything, making calls, sending messages, | :22:09. | :22:10. | |
ordering food, hailing a taxi, In 2015 the firm hit a record for | :22:11. | :22:24. | |
sales selling 232 million of them, they have since fallen slightly. | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
That's because of all the competitors out there, Samsung, | :22:29. | :22:36. | |
Huawei, among others. But ten years old. Are you a keen walker? I am, | :22:37. | :22:43. | |
it's the best way to clear your head. Do you walk in the rain? I do | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
walk around Manchester in the rain. And that happens pretty frequently! | :22:50. | :22:51. | |
The reason I ask is because we are looking at how safe people are when | :22:52. | :23:00. | |
they do go walking. It's a lovely time of year but you need to be | :23:01. | :23:02. | |
mindful about being safe. The difference between this week and | :23:03. | :23:10. | |
last week, the British weather changes so quickly. | :23:11. | :23:11. | |
Breakfast's Graham Satchell is in a stunning Snowdonia for us | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
You get a sense of the mist over the hills in the background behind you, | :23:15. | :23:22. | |
what is it like today? Good morning. It's a little murky to be honest but | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
there will be people going out saying a bit of rain won't stop | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
them. New figures from mountain rescue said the number of people who | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
have called them to be rescued is up on last year, up about a 10th, | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
almost 2000 people called Mountain rescue last year and actually there | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
were only 14 days last year when there were no callouts at all. We | :23:43. | :23:48. | |
can have a chat with Fi, you got into trouble on Dartmoor? I broke my | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
ankle on Dartmoor a couple of years ago. It was March, I was hiking, the | :23:54. | :24:00. | |
weather was like this and I was involved in a simple accident, could | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
happen to anyone, put my foot in a rabbit hole and fell over sideways | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
and looked down and my foot was pointing in the wrong direction. Air | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
ambulance got you out? Yes, they rescued me. It was a tossup between | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
them and mountain rescue, we had no mobile signal where we were. I was | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
lucky because I was with people who knew how to navigate so they could | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
give an accurate location and they had training so they knew how to get | :24:27. | :24:35. | |
hold of help. But a nasty situation. Shows it can happen to anyone. | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
Chris, you were out overnight, you are from Mountain rescue? We were | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
out overnight with a man who lost confidence where he was and he made | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
the 999 call and we went to eventually find him with a bit of | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
difficulty but we found him and brought him down to safety at around | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
3am. Thank you for getting up early this morning. Why are so many people | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
getting into trouble on the mountain is? There's a greater number on the | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
mountains and a greater number going out to enjoy the great outdoors -- | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
Mountain is? Sadly a lot more people don't have the experience to do | :25:09. | :25:18. | |
this. When there's the slightest hiccup they make a 999 call. We | :25:19. | :25:31. | |
would prefer them to actually be safe. Be prepared. Let's have a | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
quick chat with Sean Connolly, he is an adventure ambassador. He has got | :25:37. | :25:43. | |
with him... This is in your essential pack of stuff? This is the | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
bare minimum. We want to make the outdoors enjoyable, accessible and | :25:50. | :25:52. | |
safe and the first thing is take the right kit. On a day like today you | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
will take waterproofs but the rain could change at any time, as could | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
the weather, take a hat, nutrition, water, people forget once you're at | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
the top of the mountain you're only halfway. Head torches and my | :26:07. | :26:14. | |
personal favourite, a paper ONS map. People rely too much on technology? | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
They do, batteries in the cold don't last too long, they die and things | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
like that so if you can learn how to navigate a bit it will go a long | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
wait. Simple things, simple bits of kit will help you not get lost. | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
Shawna knows this stuff because... You can tell me, you walk, swamp and | :26:33. | :26:38. | |
cycled all around Britain -- Sean. I did Land's End to John o' Groats, | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
swimming, cycling and running. The swim was the toughest one, four and | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
a half months at sea. Very tough! We will leave you with a view of | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
Snowdon, Snowdonia, the gateway to Snowdonia. The clouds are low but it | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
is still a stunning view. Absolutely beautiful. Speak to you | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
later! Some of the mist getting into the wires causing a little bit of an | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
interruption there! If you're a fan of beautiful scenery you will | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
probably love Poldark, we have alert Tomlinson who plays Imelda. -- | :27:15. | :30:40. | |
weather but it will slowly brighten up. | :30:41. | :30:42. | |
Sunshine on the weekend with temperatures in the low 20s. | :30:43. | :30:44. | |
I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom | :30:45. | :30:47. | |
Now, though, it's back to Charlie and Naga. | :30:48. | :30:50. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Naga | :30:51. | :30:55. | |
A retired Court of Appeal judge, Sir Martin Moore-Bick, | :30:56. | :30:57. | |
is today expected to be appointed to lead the public inquiry | :30:58. | :31:00. | |
The news comes as police say at least 80 people are believed | :31:01. | :31:05. | |
to have died in the fire, but they don't expect to confirm | :31:06. | :31:08. | |
the exact number for at least another six months. | :31:09. | :31:11. | |
There'll be another big test for Theresa May in the Commons today | :31:12. | :31:14. | |
as she faces a key vote on the Queen's Speech | :31:15. | :31:17. | |
With the support of the Democratic Unionists, | :31:18. | :31:19. | |
the government is expected to pass its plans for the next | :31:20. | :31:21. | |
Parliament, after narrowly surviving a vote last night on changes | :31:22. | :31:24. | |
Labour has tabled a further amendment ahead of today's debate. | :31:25. | :31:28. | |
Police in Australia have charged one of the most senior | :31:29. | :31:30. | |
Roman Catholic Cardinals, George Pell, with multiple | :31:31. | :31:32. | |
Cardinal Pell is in charge of the Vatican's finances | :31:33. | :31:36. | |
and is considered to rank third in the hierarchy of the church. | :31:37. | :31:39. | |
He is accused of a number of offences dating back | :31:40. | :31:42. | |
Catholic officials in Australia say he strenuously denies | :31:43. | :31:44. | |
A decision will be revealed later over a proposed merger between Sky | :31:45. | :31:53. | |
If the regulator Ofcom approves the takeover, | :31:54. | :31:57. | |
Rupert Murdoch's company would assume total control | :31:58. | :31:59. | |
of the broadcaster - a deal which has been cleared | :32:00. | :32:01. | |
by European Commission competition authorities. | :32:02. | :32:05. | |
Opponents believe the deal would give Murdoch too much power | :32:06. | :32:08. | |
Household energy bills and carbon emissions will soar unless ministers | :32:09. | :32:17. | |
devise new power saving policies after Brexit, | :32:18. | :32:19. | |
The Independent Committee on Climate Change says EU energy | :32:20. | :32:24. | |
efficiency rules on household appliances have helped reduce | :32:25. | :32:26. | |
It's warning that the UK government now needs to to extend energy | :32:27. | :32:29. | |
savings through better home insulation. | :32:30. | :32:36. | |
An increased reward of ?6,000 is now being offered for information | :32:37. | :32:40. | |
about four Second World War medals, which were lost by a blind veteran | :32:41. | :32:43. | |
96-year-old Alfred Barlow was returning home from a pilgrimage | :32:44. | :32:49. | |
to Normandy earlier this month, when he noticed his medals | :32:50. | :32:54. | |
were missing after leaving the Norton Canes Services | :32:55. | :32:57. | |
Crime Stoppers are now offering ?5,000 for their return, | :32:58. | :33:01. | |
on top of a reward from actor Hugh Grant of ?1,000. | :33:02. | :33:08. | |
Coming up on the programme Sarah will have the weather for you. | :33:09. | :33:11. | |
Not long to go now until Wimbledon - which means one thing - | :33:12. | :33:15. | |
we all go a bit tennis mad for a couple of weeks. | :33:16. | :33:18. | |
Mike is already a step ahead of us - he's in Sheffield this morning | :33:19. | :33:22. | |
I am in line he was my friends from a tennis school here in Sheffield. | :33:23. | :33:31. | |
We are talking grass-roots tennis, as I take my place at the back of | :33:32. | :33:39. | |
the line. Wedding my term. My friends watch Wimbledon and are | :33:40. | :33:43. | |
inspired to what is being done at grassroots to help them achieve any | :33:44. | :33:46. | |
dreams they may have to make tennis accessible? Today, the Lawn Tennis | :33:47. | :33:51. | |
Association is announcing that they are making available a new pot of | :33:52. | :33:56. | |
money, ?250 million over the next few years to revamp courts across | :33:57. | :34:01. | |
the country in Great Britain. So they could have multiservice court, | :34:02. | :34:04. | |
floodlights all new indoor centres like the one here. That is the idea. | :34:05. | :34:09. | |
Let's talk to Alistair, the participation director at the lawn | :34:10. | :34:15. | |
tennis Association. Hello. What difference do you think facilities | :34:16. | :34:19. | |
like this can make? It is not just about facilities, you do need to | :34:20. | :34:23. | |
engage as well with the inner-city kids, they wouldn't normally get a | :34:24. | :34:27. | |
chance to play tennis. We are making the single biggest commitment we | :34:28. | :34:32. | |
have made ever to facilities. Were asking the community due come | :34:33. | :34:38. | |
together with ideas for transforming facilities like this. Working with | :34:39. | :34:46. | |
partners like Sheffield Council to provide fantastic indoor facilities | :34:47. | :34:51. | |
to transform areas like we have already here. Also hoping to inspire | :34:52. | :34:55. | |
more kids to pick up a racket, to take part and play in a strong | :34:56. | :34:58. | |
community facility that is easily accessible and affordable. Pounds | :34:59. | :35:07. | |
initially, another ?125 million to come. But the idea is to be able to | :35:08. | :35:12. | |
walk out of your home and to go to a cheap local Court. In that happen | :35:13. | :35:17. | |
because of this money? What were hoping for is to get community | :35:18. | :35:20. | |
thinking about how they deliver the rack on a tennis experience for | :35:21. | :35:24. | |
everyone. It is about providing affordable and easily accessible | :35:25. | :35:29. | |
facilities that can be as cheap as 30- ?50 per household membership | :35:30. | :35:34. | |
that will let you play all year around right through to initiatives | :35:35. | :35:38. | |
that we run next weekend where we have a tennis weekend. They offer | :35:39. | :35:44. | |
people a free trial and in the opportunity come down and play air | :35:45. | :35:48. | |
deceives tennis is a sport for them. Especially a day like today, nobody | :35:49. | :35:55. | |
wants to play tennis outside. Now it is bringing through more champion | :35:56. | :35:58. | |
players? It is fundamental because we want this to be the catalyst to | :35:59. | :36:02. | |
increase the number of indoor facilities by 50%. The same with | :36:03. | :36:05. | |
courts with floodlights so that they can be used all year round and | :36:06. | :36:11. | |
people have the opportunity to play with some certainty, to come on down | :36:12. | :36:15. | |
to a court and have a good game of tennis and enjoy the sport. But | :36:16. | :36:19. | |
talked out to a real-life example. Let me introduce you to Chris and | :36:20. | :36:23. | |
fate. We were speaking a few moments ago. When Fay was three years old | :36:24. | :36:28. | |
you wanted to play tennis your local park near your house but you could | :36:29. | :36:33. | |
because it was rundown. How bad was it, would you say? Dreadful. Just | :36:34. | :36:37. | |
inaccessible, no access to coaching or anything. So that's why we had to | :36:38. | :36:45. | |
join a club to be able to access that. And that was expensive, I | :36:46. | :36:50. | |
guess, and not you near your home at all? Definitely. But now that | :36:51. | :36:55. | |
everything is being regenerated and accessible for the community they | :36:56. | :37:00. | |
are fabulous. And, cat is available as well. So it has made a | :37:01. | :37:05. | |
difference. What is it like for you now? You couldn't remember what was | :37:06. | :37:10. | |
I when you were but how about now? It is good for every community to | :37:11. | :37:15. | |
experience tennis and may be inspire other young kids my age and younger | :37:16. | :37:22. | |
and older to play tennis. So to what extent does it make you able to play | :37:23. | :37:31. | |
more fun every week? My tennis club is down the road from me so when I | :37:32. | :37:37. | |
feel... When I feel like I want, because I wanted a light, then I | :37:38. | :37:41. | |
need to do the training as well. And, literally, I love tennis and I | :37:42. | :37:45. | |
don't know what I would do without it. In practice it makes perfect. | :37:46. | :37:50. | |
Are you a fan of Johanna Konta? The British number one, seeded number 64 | :37:51. | :37:57. | |
Wimbledon. Speaking of Johanna Konta... She is warming up four | :37:58. | :38:07. | |
Wimbledon and safely into the third round fools not | :38:08. | :38:08. | |
She looked in impressive form as she beat | :38:09. | :38:10. | |
Romania's Sorana Cristea in straight sets. | :38:11. | :38:12. | |
She'll play the French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko today for a place | :38:13. | :38:15. | |
Johnny Sexton and Owen Farrell will start together for the Lions | :38:16. | :38:23. | |
in the second Test against New Zealand. | :38:24. | :38:27. | |
Having the lost the opening test, Warren Gatland's side have | :38:28. | :38:30. | |
Captain Sam Warburton has also been handed a start in one of three | :38:31. | :38:37. | |
changes to the side beaten 30-15 last weekend. | :38:38. | :38:41. | |
The 19-time world and Olympic champion Usain Bolt made his first | :38:42. | :38:44. | |
appearance of the season in Europe last night, | :38:45. | :38:46. | |
And of course, the Jamaican world record holder got the victory | :38:47. | :38:54. | |
Although he was disappointed with his time of 10.07 seconds, | :38:55. | :39:00. | |
it continued his preparation for the World Championships | :39:01. | :39:02. | |
in London - which are now just over a month away. | :39:03. | :39:05. | |
Bolt plans to retire from Athletics after the Worlds. | :39:06. | :39:10. | |
There was also victory for the four-time Olympic | :39:11. | :39:14. | |
gold medallist Mo Farah, who won his final 10,000 metre race | :39:15. | :39:17. | |
He dominated the field to come home in a near world leading time this | :39:18. | :39:23. | |
let's return to the action. Back here with my friends at the centre. | :39:24. | :39:40. | |
We have some of the pupils from a local school. Including my | :39:41. | :39:46. | |
nine-year-old friend here. How often do you have the chance, do you have | :39:47. | :39:50. | |
a chance to play tennis in your local park? Yes. Do you have | :39:51. | :40:03. | |
facilities to play nearby? Yes. That's good. Do you love tennis? Are | :40:04. | :40:08. | |
you inspired by Johanna Konta and Andy Murray? Would you like to play | :40:09. | :40:13. | |
more? Yes. And how about your facilities? Cheap. How much does it | :40:14. | :40:23. | |
cost? I play sometimes. And how it is it you finding a court? I go with | :40:24. | :40:32. | |
my friends. So, you can. Things are improving. That is the main thing. | :40:33. | :40:38. | |
And I will have the chance to practise enough to sometimes realise | :40:39. | :40:44. | |
their dreams. Would you like a game over here with our giant market? We | :40:45. | :40:48. | |
will have that for you in ten minutes time? -- mug. | :40:49. | :40:51. | |
Do people in England pay too much for their prescriptions? | :40:52. | :40:54. | |
And should patients with long-term conditions be exempt? | :40:55. | :40:56. | |
40 health charities have come together to update the list | :40:57. | :40:59. | |
of illnesses exempt from charges, saying it has barely changed | :41:00. | :41:01. | |
The NHS prescription charge in England is currently ?8.60. | :41:02. | :41:05. | |
They're free in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. | :41:06. | :41:09. | |
A survey by the Prescription Charges Coalition has found that a third | :41:10. | :41:12. | |
of people who pay for their medicines have not picked them up | :41:13. | :41:17. | |
And it's calling for conditions such as Parkinson's, | :41:18. | :41:24. | |
Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Rheumatoid Arthritis to be added | :41:25. | :41:27. | |
to the list for free prescriptions, joining the likes of cancer, | :41:28. | :41:30. | |
We're joined now by GP Dr Golda Parker. | :41:31. | :41:36. | |
Good morning to you. Can we deal first of all... You mentioned in the | :41:37. | :41:45. | |
lead there it will not getting their prescription that they need they say | :41:46. | :41:51. | |
they can't afford it. Are you dealing with people in that | :41:52. | :41:57. | |
circumstance? One lovely lady I know who worked and had a foot condition, | :41:58. | :42:01. | |
a painful one. She needed a list of medication to treat it and she said | :42:02. | :42:05. | |
she had been putting up with it for six months. What is happening? Why | :42:06. | :42:10. | |
is the medicine working? She told me that the she was not affording them. | :42:11. | :42:15. | |
-- could not afford the medication. It really is true and a pounds 60 is | :42:16. | :42:26. | |
a lot for a prescription, especially if you have many items. Why has the | :42:27. | :42:30. | |
list not been updated in so long? I have no idea. Back in 1968 we were | :42:31. | :42:36. | |
not treating the things that we are treating now. It was a different | :42:37. | :42:42. | |
world. This is the modern world with modern medicine and people are | :42:43. | :42:45. | |
living longer. We test for different rings, we treat different things and | :42:46. | :42:48. | |
we know about more diseases. Can we afford to supply so many priests to | :42:49. | :42:53. | |
make free prescriptions? I am not an expert that it is not an even | :42:54. | :42:57. | |
playing field. In Manchester I must pay for my prescription. If I rows, | :42:58. | :43:03. | |
I don't have to. I think it just needs to be evened out. That list | :43:04. | :43:09. | |
needs looking at. For example, patients with a low thyroid get one | :43:10. | :43:13. | |
medication for free. They need that on a long-term basis. If they get a | :43:14. | :43:18. | |
fungal toenail infection, then that prescription is free as well and in | :43:19. | :43:21. | |
the majority of cases that is unrelated to their thyroid. It needs | :43:22. | :43:28. | |
to be looked at so that those prescription is unrelated to chronic | :43:29. | :43:35. | |
conditions are for and that money then funded into other illnesses. | :43:36. | :43:39. | |
These are difficult decisions to make because supposing, you mention | :43:40. | :43:43. | |
Parkinson's, some people think you should, it is a long-term condition | :43:44. | :43:47. | |
when people can be affected young. But where do you draw the line? Who | :43:48. | :43:52. | |
is going to be the one who decides which conditions are and which | :43:53. | :43:55. | |
conditions are not? Becomes quite difficult. Were a lot of people say | :43:56. | :44:04. | |
it has to change. -- albeit. People may say, well, I have an infection | :44:05. | :44:11. | |
because my immune system is low because of rheumatoid arthritis and | :44:12. | :44:14. | |
that prescription should be paid for because it is the result of | :44:15. | :44:18. | |
rheumatoid. It is linked. Who makes that decision? GPs are in a | :44:19. | :44:26. | |
difficult condition. -- position. You have guidelines, why would you | :44:27. | :44:31. | |
be in a difficult position? If a ruling came about where you pay for | :44:32. | :44:35. | |
the prescription as a result of your chronic condition, but you did not | :44:36. | :44:41. | |
pay for the prescriptions outside of that, for example, a chest | :44:42. | :44:44. | |
infection. Patients may say that is linked in. So therefore I need to | :44:45. | :44:49. | |
pay for it. Thyroid, for example. Someone's thyroid is out of control | :44:50. | :44:53. | |
and they have a low thyroid or rheumatoid arthritis and they are on | :44:54. | :44:57. | |
tablets which suppress, lower their immune system and they get a chest | :44:58. | :45:02. | |
infection. People say that is linked in with a chronic condition and they | :45:03. | :45:05. | |
should get the prescription for free. The problem is why do England | :45:06. | :45:09. | |
pay and the rest of the country doesn't? That is the bigger picture. | :45:10. | :45:15. | |
It is because of the devolved parliaments. Thank you for your time | :45:16. | :45:20. | |
and experts to make expertise. -- expertise. | :45:21. | :45:21. | |
Here's Sarah with a look at this morning's weather. | :45:22. | :45:26. | |
Good morning. Fairly grey skies in many parts of the country and out of | :45:27. | :45:33. | |
all that cloud, some drizzly rain around. This is the scene in Devon | :45:34. | :45:38. | |
taken by Weather Watcher Allen and heavy rain further north, especially | :45:39. | :45:41. | |
in the north-east of England, southern and eastern Scotland where | :45:42. | :45:44. | |
the heavy rain is combined with pretty brisk winds from the North | :45:45. | :45:48. | |
Sea. A lot of wet weather across many northern and western parts am | :45:49. | :45:52. | |
that rain edging across all of Scotland and Northern Ireland into | :45:53. | :45:55. | |
the afternoon. Further south some brighter spells, brighter spells | :45:56. | :46:02. | |
towards London and 13 or 14 where you have the cloud and rain. Through | :46:03. | :46:07. | |
the evening and overnight, temperatures not falling much lower | :46:08. | :46:12. | |
than that. Drizzly rain in Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and west of | :46:13. | :46:16. | |
England but it will ease and it should stay mostly dry down in the | :46:17. | :46:20. | |
south-east. Through the day tomorrow, the Midlands, southern and | :46:21. | :46:23. | |
south-eastern England should see some brightness but perhaps heavy | :46:24. | :46:27. | |
showers later, 23 here. Further north and west you have the cloud | :46:28. | :46:31. | |
and Rizzoli outbreaks of rain bugbear with the weather, it looks | :46:32. | :46:34. | |
like things will turn brighter and warmer through the weekend -- | :46:35. | :46:36. | |
Rizzoli outbreaks. Thanks very much. It certainly | :46:37. | :46:39. | |
improves through the week. With Sarah casting a fairly gloomy | :46:40. | :46:51. | |
weather picture, Ben, people talking about holidays? It's not necessarily | :46:52. | :46:56. | |
good when you get there but the airports might get you somewhere | :46:57. | :46:59. | |
warmer, drier, better. Gatwick, the UK's second biggest | :47:00. | :47:02. | |
airport says passenger numbers hit 45 million last year, | :47:03. | :47:05. | |
up nearly 8% on the ear before. The airport, which has only one | :47:06. | :47:08. | |
runway, has been battling with Heathrow to win | :47:09. | :47:10. | |
permission to build another. But as more of us head off | :47:11. | :47:13. | |
on holiday this summer, Gatwick was named and shamed as one | :47:14. | :47:16. | |
of the worst for delays with 30% of all international | :47:17. | :47:19. | |
flights having at least The Chief Executive | :47:20. | :47:21. | |
of Gatwick Airport Steve Wingate joins me now from our | :47:22. | :47:31. | |
London newsroom. Let's touch on those figures, record | :47:32. | :47:37. | |
numbers of people flying through the airport, great news, up 8% in terms | :47:38. | :47:42. | |
compared to last year but at the same time the worst offender for | :47:43. | :47:48. | |
delays. Why? Looking at Gatwick, we saw 44 million passengers last year, | :47:49. | :47:53. | |
up 8% on the previous year, with a lot bigger choice in destinations | :47:54. | :47:56. | |
and significantly more long haul and that's important. We expect to see | :47:57. | :48:02. | |
further growth this year, up to 45, maybe 44.5 million passengers but we | :48:03. | :48:09. | |
are working closely with punctuality, airlines and ground | :48:10. | :48:12. | |
handlers and the European air-traffic controllers and the good | :48:13. | :48:16. | |
news is as we work into -- as we move into the summer season we are | :48:17. | :48:20. | |
seeing improvements on the punctuality at Gatwick. It's all | :48:21. | :48:25. | |
well and good saying you're planning for 45 million passengers but if | :48:26. | :48:28. | |
they're not getting away on time that's not good news. If you look at | :48:29. | :48:32. | |
the industry standard, a flight is on time if it leaves within 60 | :48:33. | :48:37. | |
minutes of its scheduled departure. Gatwick on average last summer | :48:38. | :48:40. | |
flights were leaving 19 minutes after so if we focus on the | :48:41. | :48:44. | |
improvement there's no reason we can't pull that back in and get the | :48:45. | :48:48. | |
service levels of punctuality back to where passengers want them. | :48:49. | :48:52. | |
Looking at the feedback from passengers, about their experience | :48:53. | :48:54. | |
of travelling through the airport, it's never been higher. Let's talk | :48:55. | :49:00. | |
about runways, you've been battling in the past with Heathrow. Heathrow | :49:01. | :49:05. | |
was named the preferred place. Are you prepared to accept you're not | :49:06. | :49:10. | |
getting another runway? Looking at Gatwick, we've never said we don't | :49:11. | :49:13. | |
want another runway, we've said we are prepared to build another one | :49:14. | :49:17. | |
and we continue to make that offer to the government. What happens at | :49:18. | :49:22. | |
Heathrow is a matter for the Heathrow and the government. We are | :49:23. | :49:26. | |
nearly full. Our scheme is a good scheme and what you can see is we | :49:27. | :49:29. | |
can reach the long haul destinations, we now serve over 60 | :49:30. | :49:35. | |
different ones, and our scheme is fully privately financed and not | :49:36. | :49:39. | |
needing any taxpayer subsidy. When we talk about the delays and the | :49:40. | :49:42. | |
number of passengers it comes down to the fact you need another runway, | :49:43. | :49:46. | |
is that the easiest way to avoid delays? It's not hurting people into | :49:47. | :49:51. | |
the terminal, it's getting people in the air? Another runway would help | :49:52. | :49:55. | |
with better punctuality at the airport. In terms of the new runway, | :49:56. | :49:59. | |
the key question that was asked of us was could Gatwick support long | :50:00. | :50:05. | |
haul routes? Over the last few years we have demonstrated that. Today | :50:06. | :50:09. | |
we're announcing a new route to Taipei, two weeks ago to Buenos | :50:10. | :50:12. | |
Aires, shortly before that to Singapore and more to come over the | :50:13. | :50:17. | |
coming weeks. Let's talk about Brexit because open skies are an | :50:18. | :50:21. | |
important thing in terms of cheap flights to Europe for everyone, what | :50:22. | :50:25. | |
happens with regards to Brexit in regards to cheap flights? That | :50:26. | :50:30. | |
unites every player in the aviation industry in the UK. We've made our | :50:31. | :50:34. | |
points to the government and the government has listened and it's | :50:35. | :50:38. | |
very important to every player, airports, airlines, ground handlers, | :50:39. | :50:42. | |
air-traffic control that as part of the Brexit negotiations we maintain | :50:43. | :50:45. | |
not only the rights to fly the current routes but to grow in the | :50:46. | :50:49. | |
future both to Europe and North America. Stuart Wingate, the chief | :50:50. | :50:54. | |
executive of Gatwick Airport, thanks for your time this morning. More | :50:55. | :50:56. | |
from me after 8am, see you then. We're quite excited about Wimbledon. | :50:57. | :51:05. | |
You are, you love tennis? I do. The thing about Wimbledon, you don't | :51:06. | :51:09. | |
have to love tennis to love Wimbledon. Is the occasion and | :51:10. | :51:16. | |
everything that surrounds it. Shall we go mug to mug? See what I did | :51:17. | :51:25. | |
there? We have small mug and big mug. Mike can explain why the Game, | :51:26. | :51:30. | |
Set, Mug Challenge is kicking off today. Tell us, Mike? | :51:31. | :51:33. | |
Giving you a sense of how big this mug is, I'm not in it, I wouldn't be | :51:34. | :51:40. | |
able to get out because it is so large but this is what we are using | :51:41. | :51:44. | |
for our big summer challenge, Game, Set, Mug Challenge. 30 seconds to | :51:45. | :51:48. | |
get as many tennis balls in as you can from around five metres away. | :51:49. | :51:52. | |
You see Sam, if you were watching at 7am, he's only four and he's one of | :51:53. | :51:56. | |
the star players in Sheffield here, he got it in live on air at 7am and | :51:57. | :52:03. | |
I think it was his second go. I said have another go and he said no, I've | :52:04. | :52:07. | |
done my challenge twice, I've got to get on with my own training. We will | :52:08. | :52:12. | |
leave him to it. The said it was a good game at least! It's very | :52:13. | :52:16. | |
addictive, we are finding, the Game, Set, Mug Challenge. While they have | :52:17. | :52:21. | |
a go, my friends from Porter Croft School, let's see how the world | :52:22. | :52:24. | |
number one search Andy Murray got on when he was one of the first to try | :52:25. | :52:28. | |
the challenge with Charlie at Queen's. | :52:29. | :52:29. | |
Andy, welcome to our BBC Breakfast Game, Set, | :52:30. | :52:31. | |
Thank you. No worries. | :52:32. | :52:36. | |
Current world number one, reigning Wimbledon champion, | :52:37. | :52:38. | |
you've been in the toughest of situations. | :52:39. | :52:40. | |
I know a lot of the other players have had a go so I don't want to be | :52:41. | :52:46. | |
There's some serious rivalry going on. | :52:47. | :52:50. | |
I'm going to set the clock, you're going to have 30 seconds, | :52:51. | :52:55. | |
30 seconds, as many balls as you like. | :52:56. | :52:59. | |
You can choose your style, do you know what style you're | :53:00. | :53:02. | |
You can hit them a little bit harder this way so I'm trying | :53:03. | :53:10. | |
I want as many goes as possible in 30 seconds. | :53:11. | :53:14. | |
Andy's going for the very quick succession, he's not even looking | :53:15. | :53:20. | |
at the balls he is picking up, he's kind of got a rhythm going on, | :53:21. | :53:24. | |
Looking at the concentration on the face, he's following the ball | :53:25. | :53:29. | |
We're on 16 seconds, just coming up for 20 seconds now. | :53:30. | :53:34. | |
I think you've hit more balls than any other player we've seen. | :53:35. | :53:38. | |
We've got one second and that's time up. | :53:39. | :53:45. | |
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, | :53:46. | :53:55. | |
Thank you so much and good luck for the weeks ahead. | :53:56. | :54:09. | |
So, Mike, the thing is, fascinating how competitive Andy Murray was | :54:10. | :54:24. | |
because the first thing he wanted to know, we're not revealing how others | :54:25. | :54:28. | |
have done yet, but they want to know how the other players did and we've | :54:29. | :54:32. | |
done quite a few and we will reveal those over the next few days. That's | :54:33. | :54:37. | |
what's so exciting, Charlie. There's great rivalry already but I have to | :54:38. | :54:41. | |
say, Sir Andy Murray looked very pleased, he has set the bar really | :54:42. | :54:47. | |
high with 14 in 30 seconds! Actually you've got to realise he got off to | :54:48. | :54:52. | |
a slow start but then got into the zone and they were almost automatic. | :54:53. | :54:57. | |
Our friends from Porter Croft school in Sheffield are having a go, we | :54:58. | :55:01. | |
will talk to them in a moment, they are having a go first, have you got | :55:02. | :55:09. | |
one in yet? No. How about you? No. Of the new hit the room, it is | :55:10. | :55:13. | |
really frustrating. Overarm or underarm? Overarm. Smash it like | :55:14. | :55:20. | |
Andy Murray. If you put it like this it will go over. Have another go. I | :55:21. | :55:26. | |
think I'd put you off! Do what sounded, four years old, got it | :55:27. | :55:32. | |
straight in. What is your name? Arkenhead. Have a go, Ahmed. Off the | :55:33. | :55:41. | |
rim! -- Ahmed. He's gone. Come on, Ahmed. That was brilliant, the best | :55:42. | :55:46. | |
one yet. What is the technique? Underarm. You reckon underarm? What | :55:47. | :55:52. | |
about you, Jamelia, going underarm as well? So exciting! I think maybe | :55:53. | :55:58. | |
we are in the wake. Have another go, we were pretty new off. A big one -- | :55:59. | :56:07. | |
in the. Not bad at all! Well done! Are you enjoying this challenge? | :56:08. | :56:11. | |
That's the main thing! -- in the. It's harder than it looks. I got two | :56:12. | :56:16. | |
in 30 seconds so you are doing better than me -- in the. Practice | :56:17. | :56:20. | |
makes perfect so we are going to continue. What have you had a go, | :56:21. | :56:29. | |
Charlie? We will reveal that at a later date but the suffice to say it | :56:30. | :56:35. | |
wasn't as good as others. Thanks very much, Mike. You would be | :56:36. | :56:39. | |
forgiven for not being as good as Andy Murray. Shall we have a look at | :56:40. | :56:43. | |
the leaderboard? At this stage of the competition it isn't overly | :56:44. | :56:48. | |
revealing but there you are, just Andy Murray. 14, quite impressive, | :56:49. | :56:54. | |
almost one every two seconds. It all depends on what other people have | :56:55. | :56:56. | |
done. You've done a few. We Sunshine on the weekend | :56:57. | :00:16. | |
with temperatures in the low 20s. I'm back with the latest | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
from the BBC London newsroom This is Breakfast, with | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt. The next step into finding out | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
what caused the tragedy at Grenfell Tower - | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
a retired appeal court judge will be appointed | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
to lead the public inquiry. It comes as the group representing | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
housing associations calls on the Government to get | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
on with removing cladding, rather Theresa May faces a further | :00:35. | :00:36. | |
challenge to her authority today, as Labour tries once again to force | :00:37. | :01:02. | |
changes to the Queen's Speech. Welcome to the gateway to Snowdonia. | :01:03. | :01:16. | |
New figures today show the number of people being rescued from the | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
mountains has risen in the last year. We will try to find out why, | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
later in the programme. Good morning. Ten years ago today, the | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
first iPhone went on sale, kicking off a smartphone revolution. I will | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
look at the way they have changed the way we live. | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
And good morning from Sheffield, where we are talking about | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
grass-roots tennis and seeing how young players like Sam here can | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
benefit from the announcement today from the LTA that they will invest | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
?250 million to revamp courts right across Britain. We also have our | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
Breakfast summer challenge. We will see how the world number one, Andy | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
Murray, got on when he took the challenge. | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
And we'll be chatting to two star guests after 8.30. | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
Rita Ora will be here to tell us about her new single, | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
and we'll be talking about Poldark with Eleanor Tomlinson, who plays | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
It's a wet Thursday morning for many of us - | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
The unsettled theme continues, further heavy rain on the cards, but | :02:15. | :02:23. | |
things should brighten up by the weekend. All the details in about 15 | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
minutes. A retired Court of Appeal judge, | :02:26. | :02:25. | |
Sir Martin Moore-Bick, is today expected to be appointed | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
to lead the public inquiry The news comes as police say | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
at least 80 people are believed to have died in the fire, | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
but they don't expect to confirm the exact number | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
for at least another six months. The Government says it is determined | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
to get to the truth of what happened at Grenfell Tower, and this | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
is the man set to be given that task - a retired Court of Appeal judge, | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
Sir Martin Moore-Bick. He specialised in commercial law, | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
in a career spanning With the clamour for answers, | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
he will be expected to produce his The police say they may not be able | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
to confirm how many people died until the end of the year, | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
at the earliest. They estimate so far | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
that the death toll stands at 80, but stress that is not | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
the final picture. Some victims may | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
never be identified. As the investigation continues, | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
the National Housing Federation is calling on the Government | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
to stop its testing of cladding, and instead focus on removing it, | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
to make people safe. Having had 120 different tests, | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
from different samples, from different buildings, | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
in different parts of the country, I think we can now say that, | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
according to the tests that the Government is carrying out, | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
this cladding is not We don't need to test | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
any more of it. Today, another victim of the fire | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
will be laid to rest, His family say they are devastated, | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
and will miss him terribly. The sad reality is there will be | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
many funerals to follow. Our political correspondent | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
Alex Forsyth joins us This is an important appointment, | :04:05. | :04:17. | |
not least for the family and friends of those directly affected. It is | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
crucial, because there is understandably an awful amount of | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
anger among the residents of Grenfell Tower and the wider | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
community, who say their voices have not been heard for years, that they | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
have been let down by those in authority, so the Prime Minister | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
announced this public enquiry to try to get some answers, and she has | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
promised there will be no stone unturned. She says the residents | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
will be involved in setting the terms of reference, and though it | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
will take time, there will be an interim report. But there is a | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
perception among many in the public that these types of enquiries can | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
drag on, can be beset by problems, can fail to get to the truth of what | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
happened, so there is a lot of pressure on this one to avoid those | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
pitfalls. The first detail we have so far is this expected announcement | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
today that Sir Martin Moore Bick will lead the enquiry. He will | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
undoubtedly come under scrutiny because he is the man now charged | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
with leading the quest for answers but also trying to restore public | :05:20. | :05:21. | |
trust. Alex, thank you. There'll be another big test | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
for Theresa May in the Commons today as she faces a key vote | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
on the Queen's Speech. With the support of | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
the Democratic Unionists, the Government is expected | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
to pass its plans for the next Parliament, after narrowly surviving | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
a vote last night on changes Our political correspondent | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
Leila Nathoo has the details. The first vote of this parliament | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
on a Labour amendment to the Queen's Speech proposing | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
to end the cap on public sector pay This was the first test | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
of Theresa May's deal with the DUP, made to boost the numbers | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
on her side in the Commons. Last night it delivered - | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
all ten DUPs voted in line with the Conservatives to see off | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
the opposition's challenge. Today ahead of the final vote | :06:04. | :06:13. | |
on the Queen's Speech which sets out the government's policy programme, | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
Labour will try their luck again. We're putting forward | :06:17. | :06:18. | |
what was in the manifesto in the election, a Brexit | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
which guarantees trade relations with Europe, a government that ends | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
the public sector pay gap and a government that invests | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
in the educational future of all our children, | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
from nursery through to university. Labour thinks it's on the front foot | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
with its calls to end austerity. Many Conservatives admit the cuts | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
didn't go down well on the doorstep But after signals from senior | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
Cabinet members and Downing Street sources that the pay | :06:43. | :06:53. | |
cap would be reviewed, there was not yet any | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
change in policy. We will not make our decision | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
on public sector pay until the Pay Review | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
Body has reported. And we will listen to what they say, | :07:02. | :07:02. | |
and we will listen to what people in this House have said before | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
making a final decision. Theresa May is expected to win | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
the vote on the Queen's Speech today with the support of the DUP | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
and her backbenchers But her majority is slim, | :07:14. | :07:15. | |
her authority is still fragile. Today is also the deadline | :07:16. | :07:23. | |
for Northern Ireland politicians to agree a power sharing | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
executive at Stormont. Cris Page is in Belfast for us this | :07:27. | :07:40. | |
morning. Lots of debate about whether a deal will be struck today. | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
Just over eight hours to go until the deadline runs out. It does not | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
feel like a deal is on the cards at the moment. Politicians negotiated | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
until about 2am. The talks haven't broken down and more meetings are | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
expected today, but I understand there is still some distance between | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
the two might largest parties, the Democratic Unionists and Sinn Fein. | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
The main sticking point is over the Irish language. Sinn Fein wants a | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
piece of legislation which will promote and promote the Gaelic town. | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
The DUP would prefer a broader piece of legislation which would also | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
cover some cultural issues which are more important for Unionists. If | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
there is no agreement by 4pm today, the Government have a number of | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
options. They could amend the law to extend the deadline, and that has | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
happened before, including the negotiations here, or they could get | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
ministers in London to take over some of the responsibilities that | :08:38. | :08:46. | |
would otherwise be taking care of by the devolved Government here. | :08:47. | :08:55. | |
Cardinal George Pell, responsible for Vatican finances, has been | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
accused of historical child sex offences. | :09:00. | :09:00. | |
In the last half hour a press conference has been | :09:01. | :09:02. | |
James Reynolds has been watching. James Comey take us through what has | :09:03. | :09:12. | |
happened. Lets remember who he is - he is the number three official in | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
the Vatican, so what is happening to him is extremely important, both for | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
Australia and for the Catholic Church itself. The police in | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
Australia have charged him with multiple counts of sexual abuse | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
going back a long period. He has given a statement here at the | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
Vatican is actually saying, I am innocent of these charges, they are | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
false. The whole idea of sexual abuse is abhorrent to me. The | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
Vatican has said it has learned with regret the News of the charges | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
against him, and it expressed its respect for the Australian justice | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
system. The Cardinal will give up his duties here for a period and | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
will travel back to Australia to have his day in court, as he put it, | :09:56. | :10:03. | |
we understand he will appear in court in July. | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
The Chinese President, Xi Jingping, has arrived in Hong Kong | :10:06. | :10:07. | |

Yesterday, democracy activists were arrested after chaining | :10:14. | :10:15. | |
themselves to a monument to symbolise the handover. | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
The National Crime Agency says it's increasingly concerned | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
about the influence criminals from the Balkans - | :10:22. | :10:22. | |
particularly violent gangs from Albania - | :10:23. | :10:24. | |
have over the UK drug trafficking market. | :10:25. | :10:26. | |
It says corrupt workers at ports and airports make it easier | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
It also warns about the threat of cyber-crime from | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
Household energy bills and carbon emissions will soar unless ministers | :10:35. | :10:41. | |
devise new power saving policies after Brexit, according | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
The Independent Committee on Climate Change says EU energy | :10:45. | :10:51. | |
efficiency rules on household appliances have helped | :10:52. | :10:53. | |
It's warning that the UK government now needs to take up the challenge. | :10:54. | :11:02. | |
She's one of the biggest stars on the planet and her live shows | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
But last night Adele hinted her current tour could be | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
the last time she takes to the stage. | :11:10. | :11:11. | |
Playing to a record breaking crowd of 98,000 people at Wembley, | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
Adele said she doesn't suit touring, but she will always write music, | :11:15. | :11:16. | |
adding that "I might never see you again at a live show. | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
But I will remember this for the rest of my life." | :11:20. | :11:32. | |
We might ask Rita Ora, who will be joining us later, about that. | :11:33. | :11:44. | |
Sarah will have the weather in a few minutes. The time now is 11 minutes | :11:45. | :11:46. | |
past eight. Anyone would be forgiven for running | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
away from unimaginable and terrifying danger, | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
but PC Wayne Marques ran On the night of June the 3rd, | :11:53. | :11:54. | |
the British Transport police officer found himself face to face | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
with the London Bridge attackers. The 38-year-old was one of the first | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
on the scene as the terrorists PC Marques took on all three | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
knifemen, armed only with a baton. He's been speaking to the BBC | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
about his experience that night. We should warn you that some viewers | :12:11. | :12:12. | |
may find his account This guy is on the floor, pleading | :12:13. | :12:24. | |
for his life. The first attacker, without any mercy, stands over him | :12:25. | :12:34. | |
and continues attacking him. I took my bat on with my right hand, full | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
extension, I took a teat breath, and I charged him. I tried to take the | :12:40. | :12:49. | |
first one out in one go also I swung as hard as I could, everything | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
behind it. I was aiming straight for his head, and swinging like that, | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
horizontal motion, straight for his head. Then, while I am fighting the | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
first one, I got a massive whack to the right side of my head and felt | :13:04. | :13:11. | |
metal. I thought maybe it was a poll or Rob are at first. Afterwards, I | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
realised it was a knife that the second one hit me with. As soon as I | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
got the whack on the right side of my head, might I went dark, vision | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
went completely out of it. I am staring at them with one eye, the | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
bat on in my hand, and the three of them are staring at me, and we are | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
in some kind of like Mexican stand-off, like a surreal cowboy | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
movie, getting ready to draw. And I'm just getting ready for them to | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
rush me. We were staring at each other for anywhere between ten and | :13:50. | :13:57. | |
30 seconds. I couldn't tell you why we were staring at each other. Maybe | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
there were waiting for me to go down -- they were waiting for me to go | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
down or to bleed out. But I wasn't backing down. And they were staring | :14:07. | :14:15. | |
at me. For some reason, they didn't come to rush me. The officer that's | :14:16. | :14:25. | |
holding my hand, I called his name to three times, and he lowers the | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
radio and comes in close. I had blood in my mouth that I was | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
spitting out, so why couldn't get my message out. I started giving last | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
messages to my family, my partner. He's like, no, mate, you are going | :14:41. | :14:47. | |
to do it yourself. I said his name one more time and said, listen, just | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
do it, just do it. And as I was saying that, the last little bit of | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
light went, and that was it, I was out. But I still think about the | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
eight people but I wasn't able to help. Had I got there sooner,... I | :15:02. | :15:14. | |
got there at the time that I did. But I would just like to think that | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
I did what I did to keep the people that I saw being attacked and being | :15:21. | :15:29. | |
hurt, keep them alive, keep them out of danger as best I could. | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
PC Wayne Marques, speaking about his experiences on the night | :15:36. | :15:37. | |
of the London Bridge terrorist attack. | :15:38. | :15:38. | |
The thing that strikes you hearing somebody like that talk is he ran | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
towards the danger and the thing he is most upset about even though he | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
has been injured and obviously very emotionally affected is that he | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
didn't get to save more people. We thank him for sharing his thoughts | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
because it cannot be easy reliving those thoughts. Thank you to PC | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
waymarks. It is 8:15am. You're watching | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
Breakfast from BBC News. The appointment of a retired Court | :16:09. | :16:09. | |
of Appeal judge as head of the public inquiry | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
into the Grenfell Tower fire, Labour will try again today to force | :16:14. | :16:15. | |
changes to the Queen's Speech, to introduce elements | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
of its own general Here's Sarah with a look | :16:20. | :16:21. | |
at this morning's weather. I think lots of gardeners will be | :16:22. | :16:33. | |
happy with how this week has gone so far in terms of the weather. | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
That's right, we can have a break from watering the garden is, we have | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
had quite a lot of rain and there is more to come today, pretty grey and | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
cloudy. Here is the scene around the coast of Argyll and Bute captured by | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
a weather watcher. Eight will be cloudy with some wet and windy | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
weather today, particularly across Scotland and the North of England, | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
heavy and persistent rain through the morning. Difficult driving | :17:01. | :17:06. | |
conditions. The rain will move into eastern parts of Northern Ireland | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
and this bulk of wet and windy weather works north-westwards | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
through the day today. Further south the rain is fairly light and patchy | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
across the Manchester region, the West of Wales and south-west of | :17:20. | :17:26. | |
England. This is 4pm, mostly dry in the East Midlands, East Anglia and | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
south-east, there could be some brightness, 19 or 20 degrees. | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
Further north and west thicker cloud, drizzly rain, temperatures 12 | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
or 13 degrees, that's pretty disappointing for the end of June. | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
Not only heavy rain across Scotland but strong winds coming from the | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
north-east. We have that wet and windy weather. In the evening it | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
tends to ease in intensity, not quite as heavy across Scotland, | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
although it continues tonight across Northern Ireland, Wales and western | :17:57. | :17:58. | |
parts of England we keep the cloud and patchy outbreaks of rain. Dryer | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
in the south-east but wherever you are a murky night, low cloud, hill | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
fog, the odd patch of fog in the south-east. 13 or 14 degrees | :18:10. | :18:12. | |
overnight. Through the day tomorrow it will not be as wet as today, but | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
we have outbreaks of patchy rain across Scotland, northern England, | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
Northern Ireland, Wales and the south-west but elsewhere brighter | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
conditions and some sunshine. The chance of the odd isolated shower, | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
the odd rumble of thunder in the south-east. Moving through to the | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
weekend it will be an improving picture, we have a front in the | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
south-east bringing rain, slowly edging away, and elsewhere across | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
the country original higher pressure moving across, which will quieten | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
things down on Saturday during the day. After the rain clears from the | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
south-east, dry weather across the board, later in the day rain and | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
breezy conditions in the far north-west but temperatures are a | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
touch warmer by the time we get to Saturday, 16-23d, and Sunday looks | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
like a dry day for most of us. Sunshine and lighter winds and it | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
will feel that little bit warmer. Highs of 15-23d. There with the | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
unsettled changeable weather over the next few days, the weekend | :19:12. | :19:13. | |
promises something and something brighter. | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
Something for everyone, thank you very much, Sarah. | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
Let's talk about airport numbers. We are talking about Gaelic. | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
Gatwick Airport's announced passenger numbers are up - | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
Ben has more on that and the other main business stories. | :19:33. | :19:34. | |
Good morning, Gatwick, the UK's second biggest airport says | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
passenger numbers hit 45 million last year, up nearly | :19:38. | :19:39. | |
The airport only has one runway and has been battling Heathrow | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
But Gatwick has also been named and shamed as one | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
Speaking to me a little earlier, the Chief Executive told us | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
the airport is operating close to full capacity and another runway | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
would help ease congestion, without needing taxpayer funding. | :19:54. | :19:55. | |
Could a rise in interest rates be on the cards? | :19:56. | :19:57. | |
The pound jumped nearly 1% yesterday after Mark Carney, | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
the Governor of the Bank of England hinted that they could go up - | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
Household spending has been falling as more of us feel | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
the squeeze on our incomes, but Mr Carney said spending | :20:10. | :20:11. | |
by businesses could cancel out that fall. | :20:12. | :20:19. | |
Interest rates are currently at a record low of 0.25%. | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
And the iPhone turns ten years today. | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
It wasn't the first smartphone - but it's transformed | :20:28. | :20:29. | |
the market with its App Store, letting customers download | :20:30. | :20:31. | |
programmes that let us do just about everything - | :20:32. | :20:33. | |
make calls, send messages, order food, hail a taxi, | :20:34. | :20:35. | |
In 2015, the firm hit a record for sales, selling | :20:36. | :20:46. | |
Just to give you a clue about what was coming up, that is what the | :20:47. | :20:54. | |
image was. Do you want to play again? | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
Yes, please. We have Allison with us. Do you know | :20:59. | :21:05. | |
what she does? I think it has something to do with | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
the picture on the screen. Bat specialist. | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
Do you know what they sound like? No. Listen to this and tell me what | :21:15. | :21:16. | |
you think it sounds like. Do you know straightaway when you | :21:17. | :21:42. | |
hear that bat what it is saying? That bat is looking around, they | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
don't really use their eyes to navigate, they use sounds, they emit | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
a very high frequency sound from the mouth and as it bounces back from | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
all of the services that it touches the bat creates a picture of its | :21:57. | :22:04. | |
environment. At the moment it is sending off regular pulses of | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
ultrasonic sound creating a picture. It is like sonar in the water? | :22:10. | :22:17. | |
Exactly. They make pictures in the air? Yes. Alison Fairbrass is a bat | :22:18. | :22:26. | |
specialist. What have you learned? It is early days but we have just | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
deployed 15 ultrasound centres across the Olympic Park in Stratford | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
in London and it creates an amazing picture of what the bats are doing | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
every single day. One describe the sensors, are they stuck on poles, or | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
buildings? They are on lamp posts and have an algorithm and in-built | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
which detects the bat calls in sound recordings, which requires lots of | :22:50. | :22:51. | |
power so they are plugged into lamp posts across the park at the moment. | :22:52. | :22:58. | |
What are you hoping to find out that you don't already know about bats? | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
We hope to find out how to design and manage the city but for | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
wildlife. At the moment there is a great project at the Olympic Park | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
created that has held various Dhahmaan -- whole area is devoted to | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
wildlife and we hope it is good for wildlife but we don't really know | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
what is good for wildlife. The idea is with an improved way of | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
monitoring bats in the city we can understand how better to manage | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
spaces like the Olympic Park so they can be as good as they can be for | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
wildlife. We can listen to some more bat language now. We are told the | :23:34. | :23:40. | |
sound we are going to hear is about how they communicate. Aalesund maybe | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
you can help us, we can listen in and you can explain afterwards. | :23:44. | :23:53. | |
It sounds like birdsong to me. These are social cause, they are chatting | :23:54. | :24:04. | |
to each other, often sounds like a singsong to each other. They are | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
very social so they will be chatting to each other in their wrists and | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
that is what it sounds like. Do they hunt together? I'm not sure if they | :24:12. | :24:19. | |
do. They are the kind of questions we are going to ask. We can listen | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
to a sound when they are hunting for their prey. Interesting to hear what | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
you think of this one and how that would affect a group of them. | :24:31. | :24:32. | |
Closer those sounds, the more they are repeated and closer together, I | :24:33. | :24:49. | |
presume when that is when they are closer to their prey. When they want | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
more detail on the environment they start to emit their echolocation | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
much more quickly which creates a more detailed picture. When they are | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
trying to home in on a tiny insect bass beat up how quickly they echo | :25:04. | :25:06. | |
locate so they can get really fine detail and get the insect. Are you | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
fond of bats? The conventional wisdom about them is they are pretty | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
ugly. No, they are beautiful! | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
They are extraordinary looking creatures. | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
Definitely, there are some that are prettier than others. There are some | :25:24. | :25:26. | |
really cute ones that are really furry, some of the big ones you get | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
in the tropics are an amazing looking as well, they almost look | :25:32. | :25:34. | |
like little bears with wings. I think they are wonderful. Do you | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
think we are still scared of bats? Loads of people are, so many people | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
that I meet are really scared of them because they think they will | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
fly into their hair and get trapped. I haven't met anybody who that has | :25:50. | :25:52. | |
happened to but there is a big stigma around them. Somebody once | :25:53. | :26:00. | |
said my great grandad had a big bat fly into his hair. | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
If it flew into your hair you would have trouble, you wouldn't be able | :26:05. | :26:05. | |
to get it out will stop Coming up in a moment | :26:06. | :26:10. | |

to stay safe in the great outdoors. you are talking about safety in the | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
mountains and the hills. That's right, it's raining here but | :26:29. | :26:30. | |
interesting figures from mountain rescue showing a rise in the number | :26:31. | :26:32. | |
of people who have been rescued in the mountains, up about a tenth in a | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
year. They have given us this essential kit you should take, warm | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
clothes, food, water, torch, whistle, compass, map and a bag. We | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
will talk to mountain rescue in about 15 or 20 minutes to see why | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
there are more people being rescued. But first it's time for the news, | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
travel and weather where you are this morning. | :26:55. | :30:16. | |

The news comes as police say at least 80 people are believed | :30:40. | :30:44. | |
to have died in the fire, but they don't expect to confirm | :30:45. | :30:47. | |
the exact number for at least another six months. | :30:48. | :30:49. | |
There'll be another big test for Theresa May in the Commons today | :30:50. | :30:52. | |
as she faces a key vote on the Queen's Speech. | :30:53. | :30:54. | |
With the support of the Democratic Unionists, | :30:55. | :30:56. | |
the Government is expected to pass its plans for the next | :30:57. | :30:59. | |

senior Roman Catholic cardinals, George Pell, has categorically | :31:18. | :31:24. | |
denied charges of historical sex offenders. He said he has been the | :31:25. | :31:46. | |
subject of character assassination. These claims are for. The idea of | :31:47. | :31:52. | |
this abuse is horrific to me. -- these claims are false. | :31:53. | :31:57. | |
A decision will be revealed later over a proposed takeover of Sky | :31:58. | :32:00. | |
The regulator, Ofcom, has to decide whether the deal | :32:01. | :32:03. | |
will be in the public interest, and whether owner Rupert Murdoch | :32:04. | :32:06. | |
would end up with too much power over the UK media. | :32:07. | :32:08. | |
He would control both companies as well as owning The Times | :32:09. | :32:11. | |
The deal has already been cleared by European Commission | :32:12. | :32:14. | |
Household energy bills and carbon emissions will soar unless ministers | :32:15. | :32:19. | |
devise new power-saving policies after Brexit, according | :32:20. | :32:21. | |
The Independent Committee on Climate Change says EU energy | :32:22. | :32:24. | |
efficiency rules on household appliances have helped | :32:25. | :32:26. | |
It's warning that the UK Government now needs to to extend energy | :32:27. | :32:33. | |
savings through better home insulation. | :32:34. | :32:34. | |
An increased reward of ?6000 is now being offered for information | :32:35. | :32:39. | |
about four Second World War medals, which were lost by a blind veteran | :32:40. | :32:42. | |
96-year-old Alfred Barlow was returning home from a pilgrimage | :32:43. | :32:49. | |
to Normandy earlier this month, when he noticed his medals | :32:50. | :32:52. | |

Coming up here on Breakfast this morning... | :33:10. | :33:15. | |
# I don't want to hear sad songs any more... | :33:16. | :33:18. | |
She's been busy coaching other people in The Voice | :33:19. | :33:22. | |
and The X Factor, but now Rita Ora's back in front of the microphone | :33:23. | :33:26. | |
herself with a new single co-written by her pal Ed Sheeran. | :33:27. | :33:35. | |
She'll be here to tell us all about it shortly. | :33:36. | :33:37. | |
We'll be talking to 90-year-old author Frank White, who's just | :33:38. | :33:40. | |
had his second novel published - 53 years after his first. | :33:41. | :33:42. | |
Bow and scrape and ask permission, as I once did. But no longer. For | :33:43. | :33:49. | |
all I knew, you were never coming back. | :33:50. | :33:53. | |
Demelza's tumultuous relationship with the main man has kept Poldark | :33:54. | :33:56. | |
We'll be getting the latest on series three from the actress | :33:57. | :34:00. | |
Let's talk to Mike, he has spent the morning with a very big moquear, | :34:01. | :34:14. | |
tennis balls, and lots of children. And improving the skills, I see? | :34:15. | :34:24. | |
This is a game called last person standing, if you return the ball and | :34:25. | :34:27. | |
it is in, you stay in the game, if it is out, you are out. | :34:28. | :34:36. | |
We are talking grassroots tennis this morning because it is all | :34:37. | :34:40. | |
about, head of Wimbledon, Andy Murray being the top seed next week, | :34:41. | :34:43. | |
it is about how to make the game more accessible to all and how we | :34:44. | :34:48. | |
can improve grassroots tennis, so today the lawn tennis Association... | :34:49. | :34:54. | |
I'm still in! Are announcing a big pot of money, ?250 million in total | :34:55. | :34:57. | |
over the next two years to revamp caught up and down the land, making | :34:58. | :35:01. | |
them multiservice, indoor ones like this one here at this leisure Centre | :35:02. | :35:07. | |
in Sheffield. Floodlights introduced in others, how you improve services | :35:08. | :35:17. | |
for all. Betty, you are a local tennis coaching. How are facilities | :35:18. | :35:21. | |
like this, especially when it is raining outside like today, how are | :35:22. | :35:25. | |
they helping youngsters, especially those who don't usually get involved | :35:26. | :35:28. | |
in tennis, to be more active and pick up a tennis racket? It is | :35:29. | :35:32. | |
miserable out there, like you say, but they can come in here, covered | :35:33. | :35:37. | |
courts, doesn't matter how bad the weather is, they can play any time | :35:38. | :35:41. | |
of the year, even in winter, we have got really good floodlighting so | :35:42. | :35:53. | |
they can play tennis for longer, we get more people coming, which is | :35:54. | :35:56. | |
fantastic, and it is great to see so many people playing tennis. This | :35:57. | :35:58. | |
centre redevelopment has made so much difference, the money from the | :35:59. | :36:00. | |
LTA, and everyone knows now that money is available for other groups, | :36:01. | :36:03. | |
of community centres, they just need to get in touch with the LTA, so if | :36:04. | :36:06. | |
they go to the LTA website, there has never been a better time to get | :36:07. | :36:10. | |
money. It is not just about facilities, how do you engage | :36:11. | :36:17. | |
youngsters to pick up a racket and play with rates, let alone joining a | :36:18. | :36:21. | |
club, because some people are intimidated? We have a coordinator | :36:22. | :36:26. | |
who goes to schools and engages with teachers there, it is not just | :36:27. | :36:30. | |
people who have got money, we talked about this earlier, we want to get | :36:31. | :36:33. | |
involved with everyone, whoever you are. We go to schools across | :36:34. | :36:37. | |
Sheffield, low participation areas where people might not be used to | :36:38. | :36:41. | |
playing tennis, we want to get everyone involved, out which is | :36:42. | :36:44. | |
great and we have a lot going on here and I'm sure across other parts | :36:45. | :36:48. | |
of England as well. Let's speak to Alistair, participation director at | :36:49. | :36:50. | |
the LTA. How is this helping youngsters potentially be the next | :36:51. | :37:20. | |
Andy Murray because I suppose that is what a lot of people are looking | :37:21. | :37:23. | |
for? Our mission is to get more people playing tennis more often, as | :37:24. | :37:25. | |
many kids as possible should feel they have the opportunity to walk | :37:26. | :37:28. | |
out of their backyard and onto a tennis court in an accessible way | :37:29. | :37:30. | |
and the ?250 million investment we are making today is driven at that. | :37:31. | :37:33. | |
It is not just building more centres like this but putting floodlig hts | :37:34. | :37:36. | |
into the people have access all year round, and we want the community to | :37:37. | :37:39. | |
come to us with ideas of how to transform tennis and get more and | :37:40. | :37:41. | |
more people involved in getting more gifted young athletes into the sport | :37:42. | :37:44. | |
may mean we find the next Andy Murray or Jo Konta but we are | :37:45. | :37:46. | |
ultimately about participation, getting people on the court and | :37:47. | :37:48. | |
having fun. We have had people in Surrey this morning tweeting saying | :37:49. | :37:50. | |
that their local council clubs so that people have access all year | :37:51. | :37:53. | |
round, and we want the community to come to us with ideas of how to | :37:54. | :37:56. | |
transform tennis and get more and more people involved are getting | :37:57. | :37:58. | |
more gifted young athletes into the sport may mean we find the next Andy | :37:59. | :38:01. | |
Murray or Jo Konta but we are ultimately about participation, | :38:02. | :38:03. | |
getting people on the court and having fun. We have had people in | :38:04. | :38:05. | |
Surrey this morning tweeting saying that their local council has been | :38:06. | :38:07. | |
shutting and locking the charging, Judy Murray says it should be free, | :38:08. | :38:10. | |
what is the balance? Fundamentally we believe in free tennis but and | :38:11. | :38:12. | |
charging, Judy Murray says it should be free, what is the balance? | :38:13. | :38:15. | |
Fundamentally we believe in free tennis does take money so they do | :38:16. | :38:17. | |
ultimately we need to make sure courts are sustainable and viable | :38:18. | :38:20. | |
for the long term because to invest in tennis courts does take money so | :38:21. | :38:23. | |
they do country to make the sport as accessible as it can be. What are we | :38:24. | :38:26. | |
talking about, a couple of quid to play in the park with your mates? | :38:27. | :38:28. | |
Absolutely, you could buy household membership for less than ?30, less | :38:29. | :38:31. | |
than ?1 a week to play as much as you want in the local park in many | :38:32. | :38:34. | |
places so there are affordable options and we do believe they | :38:35. | :38:36. | |
should be free for some of the time as well. We have been looking at the | :38:37. | :38:40. | |
start of the morning on Breakfast, four-year-old Sam, who has been | :38:41. | :38:44. | |
playing nonstop, literally, he also had a go at our game which we will | :38:45. | :38:48. | |
come to in a moment, but you just love tennis, don't you? Yes. What do | :38:49. | :38:57. | |
you love about tennis? I don't know. Will you be the next Andy Murray? | :38:58. | :39:03. | |
Yes. Let's talk to your dad, Simon, you say you plays nonstop? We | :39:04. | :39:11. | |
started playing in the garden, went to some little lessons and now he | :39:12. | :39:15. | |
wants to play all the time. What age did he start, he is now four and has | :39:16. | :39:21. | |
a great forehand! When he just turned four, he is fired quite soon. | :39:22. | :39:33. | |
7am, live on air on Breakfast, he did our Game, Set and Mug challenge | :39:34. | :39:36. | |
and got it straight in! Are you going to have another go with us? | :39:37. | :39:42. | |
Yes. Brilliant, earlier he said he didn't want to, he had had enough. | :39:43. | :39:46. | |
We are going to go over to our mug now, Sam is going to do it, I'm so | :39:47. | :39:50. | |
excited. Earlier we were talking about our big summer challenge, as | :39:51. | :39:55. | |
many balls into the mud as you can five metres in 30 seconds, there has | :39:56. | :39:59. | |
been so much enthusiasm for this today, so addictive. Let's see how | :40:00. | :40:03. | |
Andy Murray, the world number one, got on when he tried it with Charlie | :40:04. | :40:05. | |
at Club. Andy, welcome to our BBC | :40:06. | :40:10. | |
Breakfast Game, Set, Mug Challenge. Current world number one, | :40:11. | :40:12. | |
reigning Wimbledon champion, you've I know a lot of the other players | :40:13. | :40:16. | |
have had a go so I don't want to be There's some serious | :40:17. | :40:28. | |
rivalry going on. I'm going to set the clock, | :40:29. | :40:31. | |
you're going to have 30 seconds, 30 seconds, as many | :40:32. | :40:35. | |
balls as you like. You can choose your style, | :40:36. | :40:38. | |
do you know what style You can hit them a little bit | :40:39. | :40:41. | |
harder this way so I'm I want as many goes | :40:42. | :40:48. | |
as possible in 30 seconds. Andy's going for the very quick | :40:49. | :40:52. | |
succession, he's not even looking at the balls he's picking up, | :40:53. | :41:03. | |
he's kind of got a rhythm going on, Looking at the concentration | :41:04. | :41:06. | |
on the face, he's following the ball We're on 16 seconds, | :41:07. | :41:10. | |
just coming up for 20 seconds now. I think you've hit more balls | :41:11. | :41:14. | |
than any other player we've seen. We've got one second | :41:15. | :41:19. | |
and that's time up. One, two, three, four, five, | :41:20. | :41:24. | |
six, seven, eight, nine, That looked like good fun. Mike | :41:25. | :42:01. | |
knows this, he has met Andy Murray before, he is extremely competitive, | :42:02. | :42:04. | |
as soon as the competition was set and he knew the challenge, he just | :42:05. | :42:08. | |
completely zoned in. He turned the tables on you as well, | :42:09. | :42:12. | |
didn't it? We will see that at a later date! | :42:13. | :42:17. | |
I am not giving anything away! Mike, we have got you back with that | :42:18. | :42:21. | |
big mug there. It seems quite dangerous! It can | :42:22. | :42:25. | |
become a standing next to the bug! The bar has been set high by Andy | :42:26. | :42:31. | |
Murray with forwarding, I cannot wait to see if anyone can beat that. | :42:32. | :42:36. | |
Someone who might be able to is the park's tennis coach here, Jeff | :42:37. | :42:41. | |
Hunter. In practice, Jeff did 11, so he could beat Andy Murray! You are | :42:42. | :42:49. | |
going to count for us, 30 seconds, Jeff Hunter, your 30 seconds begins, | :42:50. | :42:51. | |
are you ready, now. One... A bit like Andy Murray, | :42:52. | :43:02. | |
started slowly. That is unlikely! You see, when the pressure is on | :43:03. | :43:07. | |
live... It is a bit unfair on Jeff. How are we doing full-time, Miller? | :43:08. | :43:14. | |
15 seconds left. We can have a strong finish. He has got his range | :43:15. | :43:19. | |
now, that is what happens, you get your IM, they are flying in, | :43:20. | :43:24. | |
brilliant, what a finish! Three, two, one! What are the scores on the | :43:25. | :43:32. | |
doors? Six. Well done, Jeff, you did 11 in practice, fair play to you. | :43:33. | :43:36. | |
Why is it important to get youngsters into tennis? Tennis is | :43:37. | :43:41. | |
all about fun, we played this wonderful sport, it is for young | :43:42. | :43:44. | |
kids, older people as well, it is great to play games and get people | :43:45. | :43:49. | |
into it. People might be intimidated going to their local club, they feel | :43:50. | :43:53. | |
intimidated joining something official but playing with their | :43:54. | :43:57. | |
mates is different? That is right, I play tennis but if you put me on a | :43:58. | :44:00. | |
golf course I will feel intimidated as well. Let's give our final word | :44:01. | :44:04. | |
to some, it is your turn to try, let's see if you can do what you did | :44:05. | :44:09. | |
earlier, four-year-old Sam Fox Game, Set and Mug. Brilliant effort! Did | :44:10. | :44:14. | |
you enjoy the challenge? Yet. Who will win Wimbledon? Andy Murray. | :44:15. | :44:23. | |
Final word from Sam, he has been our star of the morning. | :44:24. | :44:26. | |
Goodbye, everyone! What a fun morning. Will he give us | :44:27. | :44:32. | |
a wave? Oh, we got the wave in the end! | :44:33. | :44:35. | |
There we go. Reader already is here this morning. I love a wave, how | :44:36. | :44:44. | |
cute! Are you a big sporting person? I asked if you play tennis at all | :44:45. | :44:49. | |
and you laughed a lot! I find it funny because I don't at all! Do you | :44:50. | :44:56. | |
do any sport? I was saying earlier, I fish, I don't know if that is a | :44:57. | :45:01. | |
sport, it is a random thing to do but it is relaxing. People say it is | :45:02. | :45:05. | |
good for just being calm. You just sit there and wait for the fish to | :45:06. | :45:09. | |
bite. Don't you have to do a bit more than that, don't you have do | :45:10. | :45:15. | |
actually tried?! I don't know! You don't do anything when you face? | :45:16. | :45:19. | |
No, I just wait and see what happens. But you did go to | :45:20. | :45:24. | |
Wimbledon, you like the whole occasion? I have never been, my dad | :45:25. | :45:30. | |
is a big supporter, I like looking at what people wear when they go. | :45:31. | :45:35. | |
Speaking of that, I will draw attention to the fact that I was | :45:36. | :45:38. | |
worried your collar was stuck inside your jacket but this is fashion, I'm | :45:39. | :45:43. | |
sorry! You know me, I don't do things the normal way! No, it was my | :45:44. | :45:47. | |
mistake, not yours! Did you realise? | :45:48. | :45:53. | |
I was in admiration of the outfit, it is quirky, classic with a quirky | :45:54. | :45:55. | |
twist. We want to talk to you about the | :45:56. | :46:05. | |
recent charity single you have been none. It means a lot to you. | :46:06. | :46:12. | |
You were one of 50 musicians who came together at a moments notice | :46:13. | :46:15. | |
to record a charity single for the victims of the | :46:16. | :46:17. | |
You must all have been delighted when it went straight to number one. | :46:18. | :46:25. | |
It was one of these things where anything where you see lots of | :46:26. | :46:31. | |
talent come together for one cause, if impactful. Simon was very kind to | :46:32. | :46:36. | |
ask me to be part of it, so thank you for that, but it was most | :46:37. | :46:39. | |
amazing to see the community come together. A community that is | :46:40. | :46:44. | |
important to you personally. Yes, because I grew up in that | :46:45. | :46:51. | |
neighbourhood. Recording it was difficult for me. I was begging that | :46:52. | :46:56. | |
they didn't put me gearing up in the video. It was so touching to me | :46:57. | :47:00. | |
because especially around there, there is an area where we'd go and | :47:01. | :47:06. | |
get together as a community. It's a very great place to live. It's just | :47:07. | :47:11. | |
awful when something like this happens in such a beautiful place. | :47:12. | :47:16. | |
And what have you made up the reaction since? Because so many | :47:17. | :47:19. | |
people are drawn attention to the thing, you were mentioning the | :47:20. | :47:22. | |
community there, and how people have tried to help each other. In amongst | :47:23. | :47:26. | |
the dreadful things that have happened and the mistakes that have | :47:27. | :47:30. | |
been made, a lot of people clinging to the one thing, how people help | :47:31. | :47:34. | |
each other. I think it's important to remember that there's something | :47:35. | :47:40. | |
bright on the other side. Personally but me, knowing a lot of people that | :47:41. | :47:45. | |
lived in Grenfell Tower, and such a hard thing to specify, because I | :47:46. | :47:51. | |
personally don't know what the families are going through but I did | :47:52. | :47:58. | |
my hardest to help and we are all loving where it is going right now | :47:59. | :48:01. | |
and I think the single is an amazing idea. Great to hear you back as well | :48:02. | :48:13. | |
with Your Song. Can you explain to everyone that you have had a little | :48:14. | :48:17. | |
break, why have you been since the voice? It was technically a break | :48:18. | :48:22. | |
but I never really disappeared. This was the first time I felt ready. I | :48:23. | :48:30. | |
was approached to do the television work and I thought, why not? I am 26 | :48:31. | :48:34. | |
years old and I can help people of my age group live a dream, that's | :48:35. | :48:41. | |
great. Then my son, Your Song, it came along and I thought, it's is | :48:42. | :48:48. | |
it. It's the perfect song for summer. Ed Sheeran and Mark sent it | :48:49. | :48:54. | |
to me and an e-mail, they said they thought they could hear me singing | :48:55. | :48:58. | |
it and I thought, yes. Let's hear it. | :48:59. | :49:02. | |
# I don't want to think mad songs any more | :49:03. | :49:08. | |
# I only want to sing your song # Because your son has got me | :49:09. | :49:11. | |
feeling like # I'm love | :49:12. | :49:15. | |
# I'm in love # I'm in love | :49:16. | :49:19. | |
# Your song has got me feeling like I'm in love | :49:20. | :49:24. | |
# No fear, but I think I'm falling... | :49:25. | :49:31. | |
There are so many health and safety issues. Were you trying to break | :49:32. | :49:33. | |
every rule in the health and safety book? I had to learn everything | :49:34. | :49:41. | |
backwards. It was so much fun. We had to film it in just a few hours | :49:42. | :49:46. | |
but we made it work and I'm happy about, happy to be back, putting | :49:47. | :49:53. | |
music out. It's a special time to be doing that. How nice was it to have | :49:54. | :49:58. | |
Ed Sheeran thinking, he's got a song, do you know who I'd like to | :49:59. | :50:04. | |
sing it? That must make you feel good? We had so many fun times | :50:05. | :50:08. | |
together and I've wanted to work with him for so long, so I'm happy | :50:09. | :50:14. | |
that this is now the time to come together and he absolutely smashed | :50:15. | :50:18. | |
Glastonbury. He was amazing. You know, there couldn't be anybody | :50:19. | :50:21. | |
better to do a song with. It was like working with your friend. It | :50:22. | :50:26. | |
didn't feel like work at all. How does that process work? Does he come | :50:27. | :50:33. | |
to you with an idea or do you say to him, shall we work together? You'd | :50:34. | :50:38. | |
either music, I'll do the lyrics. This time, it was an e-mail and | :50:39. | :50:43. | |
either, I've got this idea. He was singing and on the guitar. I said, | :50:44. | :50:48. | |
this is amazing, so I recorded it the next day when we got together in | :50:49. | :50:54. | |
London and worked on it together, made it work on my album, and the | :50:55. | :50:59. | |
narrative was perfect. I'm always concerned about the narrative and | :51:00. | :51:02. | |
timings whenever I put anything out. It's your work, your baby. Did I | :51:03. | :51:08. | |
hear a rumour that you have had an early midlife crisis? Oh, my | :51:09. | :51:14. | |
goodness, yes. I didn't think it would get so picked up but I've had | :51:15. | :51:21. | |
so much support. People have so much support for it. When I was 25, | :51:22. | :51:31. | |
something happened to me and I said, am I getting older? Is it closer to | :51:32. | :51:37. | |
30? A lot of people feel the same. It was one of those moments where it | :51:38. | :51:41. | |
was time to work out what was happening. You can't control time. | :51:42. | :51:45. | |
It something you need to accept something someone older than you can | :51:46. | :51:52. | |
say. Age is just a number. Now, we heard from Adele earlier, someone | :51:53. | :51:57. | |
with amazing success, and she hinted she might stop tearing. She said, | :51:58. | :52:02. | |
this might be the last time I see you. She said she doesn't enjoy it | :52:03. | :52:08. | |
so much. Tell us, you are going to Paris tomorrow, then off to Romania | :52:09. | :52:11. | |
and touring officially later in the year. Do you enjoy it? I love it. | :52:12. | :52:20. | |
For me, the energy is where it is that, on stage. I think it's a | :52:21. | :52:26. | |
personal preference. I can't speak for anybody, but me personally, I | :52:27. | :52:32. | |
love it. I just love the adrenaline, you know what I mean, Harry? Maybe | :52:33. | :52:35. | |
one day if I start a family, then great, but you never know. Who knows | :52:36. | :52:41. | |
what will happen in the future? Lovely to see you this morning. | :52:42. | :52:44. | |
Thank you for getting up early for us this morning. Were you going to | :52:45. | :52:53. | |
say something then? I was going to say I remember the last time I was | :52:54. | :52:57. | |
here, I performed. It with 8:45am. I never knew I had a singing voice at | :52:58. | :53:02. | |
that time of the morning! Well, you were younger than! Yeah. I apologise | :53:03. | :53:07. | |
for him. No, I love it. Rita's new single | :53:08. | :53:12. | |
is called Your Song. Now, shall we talk about the | :53:13. | :53:24. | |
weather? This is Snowdonia. Rita, do you like walking? Yes, I love it. | :53:25. | :53:33. | |
You could go fishing there. Sitting in your cagoule. | :53:34. | :53:40. | |
Now, I let have experienced rain and the gardeners are happy. The | :53:41. | :53:44. | |
fishermen and Fisher women will be happy. Sarah, what have you got for | :53:45. | :53:48. | |
us? Well, we have got pretty cloudy | :53:49. | :53:52. | |
skies like we saw in Snowdonia. Drizzly rain across many parts of | :53:53. | :53:56. | |
the country. Here is the scene in Argyll and Bute. We have got some | :53:57. | :54:02. | |
pretty heavy rain across parts of Scotland and northern England as | :54:03. | :54:07. | |
well. It's not feeling particularly pleasant as the wind comes through | :54:08. | :54:11. | |
as well. This bulk of weather shift its way northwards and westward | :54:12. | :54:15. | |
across Scotland and Northern Ireland as well. Patchy rain continues down | :54:16. | :54:20. | |
as far as the far south-west, but for the Midlands and the far | :54:21. | :54:26. | |
south-east, mostly dry here. Feeling colder in the far north-west. We | :54:27. | :54:32. | |
keep the patchy rain through the evening across large parts, but | :54:33. | :54:38. | |
drier towards the south-east with the possibility of some low fog and | :54:39. | :54:43. | |
is well around tomorrow morning. A similar day tomorrow to today. | :54:44. | :54:46. | |
Cloudy, the best of any brightness in the south-east, but even here you | :54:47. | :54:51. | |
could catch a sharp and perhaps thundery shower with temperatures | :54:52. | :54:56. | |
between 16 and 23 degrees. Pretty unsettled for the next few days but | :54:57. | :55:00. | |
bear with the weather, things are turning brighter and drier over the | :55:01. | :55:01. | |
weekend. Sarah, thank you very much. We're at the time of year | :55:02. | :55:06. | |
when the days are at their longest - But for those who enjoy hill | :55:07. | :55:10. | |
walking or mountaineering, there are warnings about how | :55:11. | :55:15. | |
to stay safe. Breakfast's Graham Satchell | :55:16. | :55:17. | |
is in a stunning Snowdonia It poses a real risk, doesn't it, in | :55:18. | :55:29. | |
amongst the beauty and the grandeur of those places, there are risks for | :55:30. | :55:35. | |
people who go walking and exploring? That's right, Charlie. The rain has | :55:36. | :55:43. | |
set in here and it has an impact. Mountain rescue has seen a rise in | :55:44. | :55:47. | |
the number of people being rescued from mountain is up about 10% in the | :55:48. | :55:51. | |
year, so just about 10,000 people called Mountain rescue last year and | :55:52. | :55:56. | |
actually there were only 14 days in the whole of last year where they | :55:57. | :56:04. | |
weren't called out. You got into trouble on Dartmoor? You are an | :56:05. | :56:09. | |
experienced walker. I did. It was March, the weather is very much -- | :56:10. | :56:14. | |
was very much like this, I put my foot in a whole, fell over sideways | :56:15. | :56:19. | |
and broke my ankle quite badly. It would have been a really nasty | :56:20. | :56:23. | |
situation if I'd been on my own but I had a group of people with me who | :56:24. | :56:28. | |
were prepared and knew how to navigate. Between us, we saw to the | :56:29. | :56:33. | |
situation out but it made me realise how vulnerable you can be out on | :56:34. | :56:37. | |
that hill. If I'd been my own, I was a good couple of hours from a raid. | :56:38. | :56:41. | |
It could have been a very different situation. It just goes to show it | :56:42. | :56:45. | |
could happen to anyone. Let's speak to Chris Brunt Mountain rescue? You | :56:46. | :56:51. | |
out overnight, were you? Yes, we were out rescuing the one and got in | :56:52. | :56:58. | |
at about 3am. Why do you think more people are needing rescuing? More | :56:59. | :57:04. | |
people are enjoying the outdoors, which is a great thing, but more | :57:05. | :57:09. | |
inexperienced people are going to mountains as well. What is the key | :57:10. | :57:12. | |
message you would give to people who want to be out? Be prepared, and in | :57:13. | :57:19. | |
several ways. Make sure they have learnt something about what they are | :57:20. | :57:22. | |
going to be doing, plan their route, make sure they have the right | :57:23. | :57:24. | |
equipment and have a contingency plan for if something goes wrong. | :57:25. | :57:29. | |
Chris, thank you very much. Mountain rescue is a voluntary organisation, | :57:30. | :57:33. | |
so these guys do it all in their own time. Let's have a quick talk with | :57:34. | :57:39. | |
Sean now hit with an adventure and a representative from Ordnance Survey. | :57:40. | :57:42. | |
He has got with him what he would call the absolute basic kit. The | :57:43. | :57:46. | |
basic kit that you would need to avoid those rescues that you don't | :57:47. | :57:50. | |
really need to have. We are all about making the outdoors is | :57:51. | :57:54. | |
enjoyable, accessible and safe. Take warm clothing. You never know what's | :57:55. | :57:59. | |
going to happen. Take hydration and some nutrients. People always forget | :58:00. | :58:02. | |
to drink and eat enough to give you energy. A head torch. Often when you | :58:03. | :58:09. | |
are top of the mountain, your only halfway. You need to get back down. | :58:10. | :58:16. | |
And maps. Digital maps are great but nothing beats an old school paper | :58:17. | :58:20. | |
map. You can see where you are and with a bit of navigation, have a | :58:21. | :58:24. | |
compass, all these things will help. Because your phone can die? Your | :58:25. | :58:29. | |
battery can die but your paper one can't. I will tell you something | :58:30. | :58:35. | |
about Sean. He told me you ran, swam and cycled around Britain? Yes, | :58:36. | :58:41. | |
first person around Britain to go from London John O'Groats by running | :58:42. | :58:48. | |
and swimming and cycling. Tell me quickly about the beard? I agree | :58:49. | :58:53. | |
this so I didn't get stung by jellyfish. I will leave you with the | :58:54. | :58:59. | |
clouds descending over Snowdonia and it has a beauty all of its own. It | :59:00. | :59:05. | |
certainly does. It's been lovely bed this morning. Possibly not what you | :59:06. | :59:07. | |
would imagine at the tail end of June that that's the British weather | :59:08. | :59:08. | |
for you. The garden is needed. After finishing his second novel, | :59:09. | :59:18. | |
89-year-old Frank White wrapped his manuscript in brown | :59:19. | :59:20. | |
paper, tied it up with string, and sent it to his publisher asking | :59:21. | :59:22. | |
them to consider printing it. Now, 53 years after his first novel | :59:23. | :59:27. | |
was released, Frank joins us in the studio to tell us | :59:28. | :59:30. | |
about his new book, Set on the East Coast of England, | :59:31. | :59:32. | |
it follows the challenges faced Can we say an early happy birthday | :59:33. | :59:51. | |
to you? You are 90 in August? August the 18th. Congratulations, what a | :59:52. | :00:02. | |
fine age it is. A bit doddery and otherwise surviving! Everything is | :00:03. | :00:06. | |
ticking along in terms of writing? Well, I'm not sure about that! I | :00:07. | :00:15. | |
enjoyed writing that, that was three or four years ago. Why did you write | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
it? Why was it so important for your experience? It dawned on me that my | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
generation is fading away very rapidly, and there are very few | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
people left who could write first-hand about the war, so I | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
thought, I will have a go. Explain how the book is set, because it is | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
fiction but based on fact? Everything that happens in it is | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
characteristic of what happened at the time. I have tried to capture | :00:47. | :00:54. | |
the mood and atmosphere, the general sense of those times, which were | :00:55. | :01:03. | |
very significant times, actually. Six months from June to December, | :01:04. | :01:13. | |
1940. I tried to remember the army being driven at a friends at | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
Dunkirk, the nation was completely alone, lost most of their weaponry, | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
surrounded on three sides by the enemy, and into the bargain | :01:25. | :01:31. | |
expecting invasion every day, so they are very tense times, anxious | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
times. It is funny, Frank, we talk quite a bit at the moment about | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
turmoil, it you know, with politics, Brexit, of the issues, but it | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
obviously totally pales into comparison with the things you just | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
described, off not knowing, of a war, of the fear of invasion. | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
Virtually at any minute. But the great thing was about those times, | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
the entire nation and everybody in it was perfectly, I won't say happy, | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
but determined to see it through to the bitter end, that was a great | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
moment, where people realised that they had to fight on. And did. And | :02:15. | :02:22. | |
so many people remembering the First World War and thinking that had been | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
it. Precisely true, because the First World War ended, I can't | :02:27. | :02:38. | |
remember precisely, about 20, 24, 25 years, so men who fought the war | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
were still fathers and grandfathers, and wherever you went, certainly in | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
Manchester, where I lived, you would see men with broken limbs, limping | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
with arms missing, the First World War was very much... It is | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
interesting hearing about how your father reacted to news about the | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
Second World War, because he had been involved in the First World | :03:05. | :03:14. | |
War? He was one of the old contemptible is, the British | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
Expeditionary Force that went out at the very beginning of the First | :03:17. | :03:26. | |
World War in August 1914. He had fought all the battles until the | :03:27. | :03:38. | |
Somme, when he received his third wound and came out, so he knew all | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
about war. I was a chorister at all Saints Church in Manchester and he | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
had an allotment not far away, so after the service on September | :03:52. | :04:00. | |
three, I walked around to see my dad. He was just side shooting | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
tomato plants. I told him somebody had told me on the way the nation | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
was at war again. He said, oh, it was expected, but when it actually | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
broke, I told him, and his eyes closed -- filled up with tears. Such | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
an important moment in time. I have to ask you, our time is up now but | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
people will be curious to know, are you still writing now, do you intend | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
to write anything else? It is a moot point, I'm not quite sure. I tend to | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
think this one is my swansong. My personal song of Twilight. But I | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
would like to just say something, if I may? This is a warm, | :04:48. | :05:01. | |
compassionate, caring nation. And I suspect that if people would just | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
realise that and acknowledge it and live accordingly, the nation could | :05:06. | :05:14. | |
be again as great as it was in 1940. That is a lovely thought, Frank, | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
thank you so much for your time with us this morning on Breakfast. | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
Frank's book is called There Was A Time. | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
One of my rules is, if you have a 90-year-old guest and they say, I | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
want to say something, you let them say it, that is a decent rule. | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
Thank you. If you are a Poldark fan, stay | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
tuned, we will have the actress who plays Demelza with others in just a | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
Bye for now. headlines where you are | :05:44. | :07:26. | |
Dealing with family, famine and the French Revolution, | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
the latest series of BBC One's Poldark already | :07:29. | :07:30. | |
But it's no longer just matters of the heart our hero | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
has to contend with - he's facing a war with France | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
Anna Tomlinson who plays Demelza is with us now. How are you? How is the | :07:38. | :07:52. | |
series going at the moment? People love Poldark, the scenery, the sense | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
of drama, there is something that really captures people? We are | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
incredibly lucky it has done so well, it is still so popular with | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
the fans. It is a great story, you have these characters, Ross and | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
Demelza, at the heart of it that people just relate to and love. What | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
is interesting about that relationship is it almost feels | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
modern even though it is set way back, because of Demelza's strength | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
and refusal to be cowed by a very strong husband, a strong character. | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
Yes, absolutely, I think it is great, she is an independent woman. | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
I think that is what people love about her. Something quite appealing | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
when you were told about the part, because that is not the case | :08:36. | :08:47. | |
usually? Yes, so many women are just the love interest of the leading man | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
but Demelza is a force of nature of her own, I loved auditioning for it, | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
it was a great challenge. And the twist this series is that she offers | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
even more of a challenge to him, without giving too much of a? Yes, | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
she does, she keeps him on his toes! We have got a lot of new characters, | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
the introduction of her brothers, who Ross has a love hate | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
relationship with to begin with, and another character called Hugh | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
Armitage comes in and somewhat distracts Demelza, so it is great. | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
What is the trick to Poldark acting? There are lots of steely, far-away | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
looks? The cliffs there! You can see a sense a bit there. That is classic | :09:29. | :09:40. | |
Blue Steel! Is that something you training, the far-away pensive look? | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
Yes, we spend six months training that look. What did you call it, the | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
cliff stare? Can you do one for us now? | :09:52. | :09:59. | |
Camera four, over here. Can we get the camera up close? We have to get | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
this right, it is all in the camera work! No pressure now. Camera six | :10:03. | :10:14. | |
now, fantastic. That is good! Not quite the right environment, is | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
it? This is serious, though, do you get | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
a lot of giggles? All the time, it is hilarious, but it is so windy and | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
cold on those clips so most of the time it is like, oh, gosh, is it | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
lunchtime yet?! But it is great fun, really cool. Hot soup every lunch, I | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
can imagine, when you go for your brakes. Very much so! Your career is | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
quite varied, most people know you as Demelza but tell us about your | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
album of folk songs? Well, we haven't done it yet but Anne Dudley | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
and I, the composer of Poldark, we are collaborating together on a folk | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
album. Why folk? I guess because that is the style of thinking that I | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
do in Poldark, that is what people want to hear from me, I guess. I'm | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
excited about it, I'm a bit nervous because I would not consider myself | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
a singer. Part of the joy of the series, you have the scenery, the | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
music, but also a lot of the shops you seem to be doing some form of | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
gardening, I say gardening, baking, that kind of thing. Do you have | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
skills in those directions... Not at all, no! So when you are doing the | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
bread-making, for example, there is quite a lot of that, isn't there? It | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
is premade, I just have to play with it! You didn't learn? I should have | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
done, we could release a cookery book! It would be hilarious! Animal | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
care and that kind of thing, working with things like goats, | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
traditionally very hard to work with? Yes, he is a real star as | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
well, very difficult. Any issues along the way? He won't come out of | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
his trailer, it is a nightmare. The poll. Don't... We are ruining the | :12:02. | :12:09. | |
drama of the whole thing -- the Poldark goat. People are always | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
fascinated by what goes on. Has it surprised you how popular | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
Poldark has been? Costume dramas have taken off, really, in an | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
enormous sense, but people know who you are, you must be getting stopped | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
on the street? Well, you never know how anything is going to be | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
received, but it is brilliant that people have taken it to their heart | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
in the way they have. It almost seems you have kept a distance away | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
from the other side of being famous, the social media sites, Twitter, | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
being in touch with your fans? Some people say it is great to be in | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
touch with bands, give them an insight so they know about you but | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
you have stepped away from that? I personally would like to keep my | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
private life private and I would like to be known for my work, and I | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
don't particularly feel that I need to have the social media presence. | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
Is that difficult in this day and age? I don't know, I think for me it | :13:06. | :13:12. | |
is quite easy because I am very lucky in that I have a great team | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
who work with me and if the fans want to get in touch, they can write | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
to me, and I get lovely letters from people, so I wouldn't say I have | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
isolated myself completely, but, yeah, I would like to keep some | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
mystique about my own life. Makes perfect sense to me. | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
Lovely to see you here on the sober this morning. Poldark is on BBC One, | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
Sunday night, 9pm. That is it from us, we will be back | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
tomorrow morning from 6am. From everyone here, goodbye. | :13:42. | :13:47. |
