30/06/2017 Breakfast

Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Naga

New questions over the Grenfell Tower disaster,

as pressure grows on Kensington Council.

Last night the first full council meeting,

since the fire, ended in chaos, after a row over

This morning it emerges that the cladding, originally due

to be used on the tower, was downgraded in order

The parents of 10-month-old Charlie Gard - who lost their legal

battle to take him to America for experimental treatment -

say his life support will be switched off today.

2017, the next few days will be the worst ever life. We know he is going

to go. We don't even get a say on what will happen.

So-called Islamic State under siege in Syria.

American-led forces surround IS fighters in Raqqa.

There's no need for men to wear a tie in the House of Commons

from now on says the speaker of the House - so this morning I'll

be seeing if formal dress codes at work are on their way out.

In sport - three days before Wimbledon, the British number one

Johanna Konta, recovers from a heavy fall at Eastbourne,

to beat the world number one, Angelique Kerber.

And we'll hear the tale of Menai the tropical sea turtle found washed

up on a North Wales beach earlier this year, thousands

We'll hear how she's edging closer to a return to the wild.

Good morning. A cloudy day with drizzle in the north and west.

Sunshine and showers towards the south-east. Details in 15 minutes.

There are fresh calls for the leader of Kensington Council to resign

in the wake of the Grenfell Tower disaster.

A council meeting to discuss the tragedy was called off last

night within minutes of starting after a row broke out over

the attendance of members of the public and press.

A document seen by the BBC has also revealed more details

about the cladding used on the tower.

Our correspondent, Dan Johnson, is in West London for

Dan, just start by telling us about some of those angry scenes

Bit by bit we are finding out more about this disaster, about this fire

and about the materials that may have caused it to spread. Over two

weeks since the disaster, there are still people who need help, who need

somewhere to properly move to to live and there are people in

authority, figures from the local council, who should be in charge but

appeared to be struggling with coping with this disaster. A meeting

of councillors ending in chaos. Another sign of the Council creaking

under pressure. That is the reality. Having failed to properly respond to

the disaster, last night Kensington and Chelsea failed in a bid to ban

reporters from this meeting. Our reputation absolutely (BLEEP) it. A

High Court judge had to remind senior councillors their discussions

are supposed to be open. So the top team walked out. The leader of the

council's Labour group to man's changes, not just at the top. I

would say that not only does the leader the council need to go and

certainly the tenant management organisation, who is a supposedly

providing housing policy, they need to go but at this stage the entire

cabinet needs to go. If they are incapable of sorting themselves out

then I would agree that the government needs to send in

commissioners. Before the meeting last night, the council leader

accepted the criticism but said he was not going. The scale of this was

absolutely enormous, unprecedented. I think any council would have found

it difficult to have everything in place at once. Was a big challenge

for a relatively small London Borough and I am sure we could have

done better and we will look what we could have done quicker or better

and that will be one of the we learn from this tragedy. The panels, on

the building, are a key area for investigation. The BBC has been told

during refurbishment zinc cladding was rejected in favour of an hour

many alternative, not as fire retardant, but it has the same

official rating. It was chosen because it is cheaper. The council

saved more than ?290,000. How costly that decision could have been is one

of many questions for the enquiry. And London's mayor said last night

the decision to cancel that meeting beggared to leave. He said the

council needed to be transparent, needed to try and give answers to

the residence here. The council itself has said that it increased

the budget during the refurbishment of this tower. It said that it

committed to putting more money in at different stages and it says it

is committed to working with the enquiries that are now under way.

But, certainly, blocking the public and the media from that meeting has

not done anything to help faith in the process that now involves all

the different authorities who were involved in this building. In the

last few days we have also had a reminder of the situation that

survivors of this fire have been left in, struggling to find

somewhere to live that are suitable for them. It is a nightmare. I

cannot sleep. I sleep and I wake up. I slid four hours a day -- sleep

four hours a day. We just want to get out. Many tough questions, not

just for Kensington and Chelsea Council but also for all the

authorities who had involved. Everybody is waiting to see exactly

when the public enquiry will actually get going and whether that

can command the confidence of all the people who have been touched by

this disaster. The parents of 10-month

old Charlie Gard - who fought an unsuccessful legal

battle to take him to America for experimental treatment -

say he will stop Charlie has a rare genetic

condition and brain damage. Doctors at Great Ormond Street

Hospital say the US treatment We should be over the road, sitting

next to our son's bed, spending the last few precious hours with him. We

just thought we would take five minutes out to tell you where we

are. It is a video no-one should ever have to make. In a

heartbreaking U-tube post, 10-month-old Charlie's parents say

they are being denied their last hope for their baby boy. We promised

our boiler will make everyday we would take him home. That is the

promise we thought we could. -- we promised our boy every day. We want

to sit on a sofa with him, we want to sleep in a bed with him. We have

a cot that he has never slept in. Are now being denied that. Charlie

was born with a rare genetic condition and severe brain damage.

His parents have been fighting to keep his life-support switched on

since March, despite doctors saying there is no hope for improvement.

They took that fight all the way to the European Court of Human Rights.

But this week they lost, as judges agreed with the British courts it

was most likely Charlie was being exposed to continued pain. Today,

his life-support will be switched off. His parents say they are being

rushed the difficult time of their lives. We begged them today to give

us this weekend. Some of our family and friends can come. They can come

before tomorrow so the last time they saw Charlie will be the last

time they ever see him. Great Ormond Street Hospital so they will not

comment on specific details of patient care, but this is very

distressing situation for Charlie's parents and all the staff involved

and focus remains with them. After six years of war, fighters of the

so-called Islamic State group are heavily under siege in the Syrian

state of Raqqa. As a coalition progresses, they are already

preparing for life after the defeat of IS. Our correspondence sent this

report from its pre- airbase. -- correspondent sent this report from

a temporary airbase. If and when Racal falls, it will be

a large part thanks to the American presidency. If you look at the

record today, we have now, coalition backed operations in Iraq and Syria

have cleared out a 60,000 square kilometre area of territory and we

have liberated over 4 million people. As the coalition advances

into Raqqa, families are fleeing. Many end up in this camp. All lived

under the harsh rule of Islamic State. Not all against their will.

One corner of the camp is reserved for the wives and children of IS

fighters. This woman left 11 on for Raqqa a few years ago to join her

husband. After he was killed she married eight and is in and she

joined the ranks of a privileged group, the wives of foreign

fighters. American troops in Syria number in the hundreds, they won't

say exactly how many as special forces are involved in the fighting

on the ground, their planes bomb Raqqa from the air. Isis is

certainly not defeated. When Mosul is liberated when Iraq is liberated

there is a lot of hard work left. I asked the General as he knew the

whereabouts of the self-declared leader of the caliphate? Man, I was

hoping you would know. If you know, please tell me and we will kill him

for -- forthwith. Capturing the city itself, despite being surrounded,

will prove to be a long and hard fight.

The American tennis player, Venus Williams -

who is due to play Wimbledon next week -

has been involved in a car crash, which led to the death

A police spokesman told the BBC they were investigating the incident

in Florida, which happened earlier this month.

Williams's lawyer said the tennis star "expresses her deepest

Taxi drivers, who went to the aid of people caught up

in the Manchester Arena attack, were seen sashaying down the catwalk

last night, to mark the opening of the Manchester International

The event also included other Mancunians -

in place of professional models - to create what organisers described

as a living "self-portrait of the city".

A rare sea turtle found washed-up on a beach in Anglesey has been

taken to Gran Canaria ahead of her expected release.

Menai - named after the section of water, which separates Anglesey

from mainland Wales - is an Olive Ridley turtle.

The species would normally be found in warmer waters close

to the equator - as our Wales correspondent,

Taking a step was to home. Menai's arrival at this turtle sanctuary

marks a new chapter in her remarkable story. She has defied the

odds on getting this far and will spend the next four weeks here. By

her side, marine biologist Frankie who has helped nurse back to health.

Here it is sunny and we saw the second day she was here she was

basking quite happily, floating on the surface, relishing the sunlight

on her shell. It is thought Menai was swept off course, away from the

south-western breeding grounds of Africa, pass the east coast of

America and back across the Atlantic, all the way to the UK in

the Gulf stream. When she was found last November she was just minutes

away from the Anglesey zoo. The team there had to overcome hyperthermia,

buoyancy problems and got her feeding again. Really, what we want

to do was take a further south-west and the laity and release in

slightly warmer waters where she is north of the breeding grounds and

let her find her own way there. If that happens, Menai will be back

where she belongs where experts hope she will breed and play a part in

helping secure the future of this endangered species.

She will be happy in the Canary Islands. Mike might have a total fat

for us. Do you? Just lying on a each tower. She just wants to get out

into the water again. I call her love. Like my grandma. Did she look

like a turtle? I asked I didn't say it. I am a bit worried now, this

weekend. Medical staff will be busy. Johanna Konta had a fall and Andy

Murray has a sore hip. He won't play today, will not play again properly

until Wimbledon. You just worry about them both, whether they will

be fully fit. Hopefully they will be. Hopefully they can recover over

the weekend. Johanna Konta, underlined her

Wimbledon credentials, with a dramatic win,

over world number one Konta was already a set up,

when she suffered a heavy fall, But after treatment,

the British number one, took the second set

to reach the semi-finals. She'll play Czech third seed

Karolina Pliskova later today. Reigning champion Andy Murray,

finds out later, who he'll play But there are concerns

about his fitness. The world number one,

was due to play an exhibition match today, but has pulled out

because of a sore hip. 16 years, after he made his name

there as a teenager, England striker Jermain Defoe has

re-joined Bournemouth A clause in his Sunderland contract

meant the 34-year-old could leave for free, following their relegation

from the Premier League. And French police, have been unable

to trace the driver, accused of crashing into,

the three-time Tour de France winner, Chris Froome,

while on a training ride in May. The Briton, who rides

for Team Sky, starts the defence In the papers in a moment, a hole in

one at the golf course. I will explain later. Thank you! The

front pages. Starting with the Telegraph. Actually, we are going to

go to the weather. Blame me.

I was leading you down the garden path.

We were told and I said, no, we're doing the papers.

It is almost like we have a voice in my ear telling me what to do, which

is not the case! I worry when a voice as he might yet

happen when I'm not in the studio. That's another story! I am sure

Sarah is levelheaded and have it altogether! Good morning. Very

serene looking morning. This is captured by one of our Weather

Watchers in Norfolk. A bit of mist on us, but not that quiet

everywhere. More rain on the cards through today. For the last day of

June let's have a look at last week. We had the record-breaking heat.

This time the rain is in focus. Parts of Scotland, Edinburgh, broke

the record. 178 millimetres falling in Edinburgh, the wettest June on

record. The bit of a topsy-turvy month. Through the course of today

we have some rain. This is the radar picture, showing we have had wet

weather in Wales, south-west of England as well in recent hours. In

northern and western parts we will continue to see that drizzly rain

through this morning. Eight o'clock in the morning, wet weather and

windy weather for the likes of Pembrokeshire and Cornwall. It turns

left windy and dry up as we move across the Midlands and south-east

of England. A mild and relatively bright start for the likes of Kent

and towards Norfolk. More cloud heading further north into northern

England, Northern Ireland and some patchy drizzle. It won't be raining

all the time in parts of Scotland, but there will be patchy outbreaks

at times and it will feel windy the northern and western parts. Further

towards the south-east we should have sunshine breaking through into

the afternoon, but without sunshine also the chance of a couple of heavy

showers and if you catch one there could be hail and possibly thunder

and heavy rain around. But as in the north and west, 14- 16, but in the

south-east we are likely to see a 23 degrees, so feeling pretty warm.

Into this evening and other area of rain moves down east coast of

England, east Anglia and the south-east, but elsewhere it is dry

and it is an improving picture as we look ahead to the weekend. We have

this ridge of high-pressure moving on. There will be low pressure again

approaching from the Atlantic, not for many other cities are dry and

bright picture and all parts should see sunshine at least one day of the

weekend. On Saturday any early rain clears from the south-east. Lots of

dry and sunny weather install, for more cloud and drizzly rain moves

across Scotland and Northern Ireland late in the afternoon. Temperatures

about 24. Mostly dry again on Sunday, but showers look into the

south-east and perhaps the few blustery showers in the north-west.

But it is looking like a brighter and drier weekend. Thanks very much!

Now we will do the papers. Good idea. Good morning! Good morning.

The Guardian front-page. We will discuss this in a few minutes with

our political correspondent, Alex, about the events yesterday. People

say this is the new kind of parliament we will have, with these

concessions we had in the last few minutes and these tight votes.

The front page of the Daily Telegraph: The picture is of Prince

Charles, the Prince of Wales, donning silver snow goggles in the

Northern Territory in Canada... I'm loving the names!

I'm not sure if I am doing them justice.

The headline is that more than 50,000 patients with metal hips are

being told they must undergo blood tests after they have been found to

be more toxic than originally thought.

The Times focuses on Grenfell Tower and issues around the cladding,

suggesting the council was cutting costs, keeping the cost of the

cladding down. We will talk more about that story on the front of the

Times and the Telegraph, but a couple of stories in the business

pages of the Telegraph. More eyes watching the city watchdog, looking

at car finance deals. Are they bringing back control in the UK? And

this one from Sony. Getting back into the vinyl business, beginning

to press their own records, the first time in decades they've done

that. I didn't realise they were that

popular! When the money starts flowing into it you know they are

popular. This time tomorrow, the Lions are

building up to their second test. Sam Warburton is captaining this

weekend and he says it is the biggest game of his life. Some are

even saying if they lose this one and lose the series 3-0 it could be

the end of the Lions as we know them, but I think that exaggerating.

And of course, look at this, the cliff collapse. This is in West

Dorset, on the 15th hole. They fenced it off and played on. Thank

goodness no one was hurt on this occasion because it was very

dramatic. So there is a path going across

there? Literally yards from the bunker and

it just caved in. Ground under repair!

Thank you very much. We will have Alex Forsyth at Westminster. This is

looking at Jeremy Corbyn axing three shadow ministers. That was over the

rebellion over the Brexit vote. Let's go to Alex. This is the kind

of... We are getting a glimpse now really just what this new style of

Parliament will feel like on a day-to-day business sense, aren't

we? I think that's right. The realities of a hung parliament,

where every single vote counts and so backbench MPs and some on the

front bench are calling it brave. Some Labour MPs went against the

leadership yesterday because they backed an amendment which called for

the UK to stay in the single market when it leaves the EU. Labour's

official position is that it should retain the benefits of the single

market. The Micawber and sacked three frontbenchers and another one

resigned. He is asserting his authority, if you like, after the

result. On the conservative side the government had to make concessions

to stop some of its backbenchers rebelling because there were

suggestions there might support a Labour amendment to ensure free

access to abortions in England for women from Northern Ireland. The

government has agreed to fund them to stop its Tory backbenchers

causing trouble, so this is very much the new reality now. Boulder

backbench MPs, which can cause a problem for party leaders. Thank you

very much. Fewer people are taking their own

lives on the railways. The reduction in this number is thought to be due

to groundbreaking partnerships between the charity Samaritans and

Network Rail. People have been trained on what to

do if they spot someone looking vulnerable. There's been an 18%

reduction in such deaths since the programme started last year.

Every year more than 200 people take their own life on the railways.

People of all ages, from all backgrounds. The initial shock after

Oscar died... You're just numb and then in the weeks and is numb -- and

months afterwards you get hit with a tsunami of grief. Oscar was just 16

when he took his own life in 2015. He was smart, fun, popular at

school. There was no clue as to how he was really feeling. You feel like

your heart has been turned into glass, shattered. You are so

vulnerable yourself and at that point you could take your own life.

Carmel is now starting a charity in Oscar's name, going into schools,

encouraging children to speak out about their feelings. What we do

know is that many people who are suicidal, one of the things they are

feeling... You can learn how to prevent suicide. In recent years

nearly 15,000 rail staff and Transport Police have been on this

groundbreaking Samaritans course, showing them what to do if someone

looks vulnerable. Andy admits he was cynical before the lesson, but he is

soon -- he soon relied on it to help a man in real trouble. I sat down, I

spoke to him, asked him if I could help asked him if he wanted to talk.

He said to me he was a coward and that he wanted to die. So I ask him

if he would come and sit in the van and let me talk to him. At the time

it was the only safe place I could think to get him. He says one thing

in particular came back to him. I can remember the instructor actually

saying, don't say "I know how you feel". That's always stuck in my

mind because it is the type of thing I probably would have said, so

that's in your mind, not to say it. Rail staff stepped into talk to a

vulnerable person on average -- an average of four times a day last

year and the number of rail suicide is now going down. If it was you

that was stood there, in a vulnerable position, how would you

feel if someone didn't come up and talk to you and you were allowed to

go and take your own life? It's horrific, isn't it? You would want

someone... You would want to be able to thank someone one day.

That was Carmel, speaking to our transport correspondent. For details

Robert Atkinson - who challenged the Kensington Council leader

at the meeting last night. Parents of 10-month-old Charlie who

fought an unsuccessful legal battle to take him to America for treatment

to say he will be taken off life support today. Charlie has a rare

genetic condition. Doctors say that the US treatment would not have

helped him. Chris and Connie say they have now been told they will

not be able to take their son home to die.

Nurseries in England are warning local councils are failing

to provide enough money to fund more free childcare

From September children will be eligible for 30 hours free nursery

education a week - if both parents are in work.

However the National Day Nurseries Association say most won't be able

to afford to provide the extra hours.

More than a quarter of women who are overdue for a cervical

cancer test don't know screening is available,

The charity found there was a particular lack of awareness

among women who spoke English as a second language.

Around 3,000 new cases are diagnosed every year and the charity says more

needs to be done to reach women who are missing tests.

We were very surprised to find that some were completely unaware of the

programme and that tended to be women from black, minority and

ethnic groups and those who did not have English as a first language.

That's just that although all women in the country who are age eligible

for screening are sent to an invalid patient inviting them to take part,

for some women that is not a good way to reach them.

Time now this sport. Yes and we are nervously waiting for news of the

condition of our top tennis players. You know, in spore, when you have a

fall and adrenaline keeps you going. The day after that the pain will

kick in so we have that Johanna Konta is OK because she is doing so

well Wimbledon next week. Johanna Konta is, for the moment, through to

the semifinals at Eastbourne but her victory over

Angelique Kerber came at a price. Konta was already a set up

so my head is a little sore right but we will see. It has been a easy

afternoon so... Not just for myself but for many players. We played a

lot of tennis today so definitely looking forward to recovering the

best I can and playing again. Heather Watson is also

into the last four at Eastbourne, she'll play Caroline

Wozniacki today. You can see that match

on BBC Two from 11 o clock. In the men's draw,

Novak Djokovic kept his Wimbledon preparations on course,

after beating American Donald Young The Serbian, won the first set

with a sore hip, denting his Murray is the reigning champion

and top seed for the tournament at the All England club,

qualifying event. He beat Russia's

Teymuraz Gabashvili. Ward had lost his previous seven

matches, before this week. Simon Grayson says he wants to give

Sunderland fans 18 they can be proud of after he was appointed as their

new manager. He signed a three-year deal with the club. He replaces

David Moyes who resigned in May and joins after four years with fellow

championship club Preston. Also signing a three-year deal is England

striker Jermaine Defoe who is making a return to Bournemouth. He had a

clause in his contract allowing him to leave for free following

Sunderland's relegation from the Premier League. He is leaving

Sunderland. He scored 15 goals last season. In one year before the World

Cup, the reigning champions are frightening form. Their reserves

side cruised into the final of the confederations cup. They scored

twice early on. How about this goal for Mexico? Look at the distance! It

was a only a consolation but worth seeing again. Germany will play

Chile in the final on Sunday in Saint Petersburg. In rugby league,

leaves edged a thrilling match. They are up to second now in the Super

League table. The rhinos ran in four tries. They survived a late fight

back to dent the hopes of Saint Helen 's finishing in the top four.

There is nothing a mother will not do for a fun, is there? Even if you

are grown man playing in a professional tournament, a Chinese

player through his part into the water at the 11th. Something my

would never do. A tantrum going on. 20 minutes later, that is his mother

wading into the water to find it. Attracting attention from the other

players. She found it, possibly for posterity. She realises it is broken

and throws it back in. Her efforts that some of the other players into

fits of laughter as they looked on in amazement at the effort she had

gone to. And all in vain. What a lovely mother. If my mother saw me

through my part in the water... Have you done that? No. If she saw me

throwing my putter in the water, she would then threw me on. That water

does look manky as well. Thank you very much, Mike. We will have the

weather a little later but first, let's return to our main story. A

chaotic meeting at Kensington council last night. Aborted soon

after it began. Robert Atkinson was there who criticise the leaders

saying that the reputation of the Council is in the gutter. Thank you

for joining us this morning on a councillor. Can you describe, furs,

described the atmosphere and what happened last night in that meeting

which effectively was brought to a premature conclusion. We went to the

meeting to find out what the council was proposing to do, to find a way

forward to look after our residents. The leader of the council then read

out a statement, statement he should have made ten days ago, and then

when he became aware that the press were present he then summarily ended

the meeting. It turned into chaos with none of our questions answered.

That led me to call for the suspension of the Council and the

appointment of commissioners. Simply because the council, even after ten

days, is failing to get to grips with the situation. The council is

saying that they were following legal advice, that they could not

proceed with the meeting with the press there. If that is not true?

They are changing their story. What I was subsequently told was that

they did not want to intrude on two areas of sub judice which I find

very offensive to backbench councillors. We know where the legal

limits are and were prepared to stay within them. We are not asking, we

were not seeking about needing to ask questions about the origin of

the fire. We were looking to comment upon and to contribute to the things

that have happened since the fire, the abysmal failure of the council

to provide services for my residence. We were clear as to what

we could and could not talk about. And, anyway, there were legal

officers present and they could have guided us and we strayed onto

territory that should not have been discussed. They simply did not wish

to speak to either the public or the breast or the Rome backbench

councillors. Can you be clear forest now, what is it you want to see

happen? -- for us now? I want the PMO to be done away with. I want the

senior leadership of the council and the Cabinet to resign. I want a new

organisation in the council who can finally get to grips with the

situation and make sure that my residence are properly housed and

looked after. Ten days after this disaster, and I remind you, we are

only a few miles away from Parliament, we are not in a third

World country, ten days after this disaster my people are still not

housed properly, still not being listened to and still not getting

access to the money they have been promised. Why do you think, given

what you have outlined their, why do you think the council is still in

place? Are they... Are they blind to the problems, the ongoing problems

that people, the conditions that people are living in and, if you

like, how they are compounding the problems? Yes. They do not seem to

have the capacity to grasp the scale of the problem. The organisations

and other councils that have come in to help us have done a magnificent

job and I am not criticising the junior officers of the council. The

officers of the council 's in very difficult circumstances are trying

to get back to normal and to provide additional services to those who

have suffered. But there is no leadership. They are running around

like headless chickens and they are trying to pretend that they are in

control of the situation when they cannot even organise a meeting in

their own to make town Hall. It demonstrates to the entire nation

that they do not know what they are doing. Thank you very much for your

time this morning. We appreciate that. He is a Labour councillor for

the Kensington and Chelsea Council. Let's talk to Sarah now and find out

what is happening with the weather. You will get better for us?

That's right, we have brighter and drier weather on the cards by the

time we get to the weekend. It has been unsettled. The whole month of

June has been rather topsy-turvy. We've had high temperatures. Last

week we had the record-breaking heat and this week we've had the heavy

rain. In fact, 178 millimetres of rain has fallen Edinburgh, the

wettest June on record. We've beaten some records. This was the scene

taken in Edinburgh yesterday by one of our Weather Watchers. Here is the

recent radar picture. The heaviest rain is in parts of Wales and the

south-west of England, also drizzle further north. If you are heading

out for the morning rush-hour there is heavy rain towards Cornwall and

Pembrokeshire, combined with a risk wind. So not very nice conditions.

Quieter towards the Midlands and the south of England. There will be a

bit of sunshine breaking through as well. Heading our way northwards

there's low cloud and drizzle for the north of Wales. Although it

should improve here late in the day. Across Scotland it's a rather grey

picture. There will be some outbreaks of light and patchy rain,

but most of the rain should ease through the day. Quite windy in

parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales and the south-west of

England. With sunny spells developing in the south-east we

could have a few heavy showers, especially in Kent, Sussex. If you

catch one that could be heavy rain around here. Temperatures towards

the west about 14- 17 degrees. For central and south-eastern parts of

the highs are up into the low 20s. This evening and tonight we will see

wet weather moving down across parts of eastern and central England, but

most other places become dry. The winds for light and we have this

high pressure building on. That's what will bring us a better weekend.

It will be drier and brighter than we have seen over the past few days.

During Saturday any early rain clears from the south-east and very

sunny and dry weather for much of the country. Into the afternoon more

cloud and outbreaks of rain in parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Ahead of that we could see temperatures up to 24 degrees. A

pleasant day. Still a chance of wet weather. On Sunday, perhaps during

the morning, in southern England, but most other areas having a dry

day and temperatures up to 22 degrees. Thanks very much!

We are going to talk about appropriate closing hour,

specifically these ties. The ongoing debate about when should a man wear

a tie and when should he not? It is a bit of a minefield at the

moment. The --

The speaker of the House of Commons has told male MPs they no longer

have to wear a tie, so are workplace dress codes going out of fashion?

you've got a little picture alongside you. You seem to be

getting smaller, which is confusing. And you are levitating! But on the

left you seem eager, but you are more formally dressed. Yes, taller.

Are you wearing red trousers? Yes, that can get controversial. If you

are in London these days you will hardly see a normal pair of

trousers. They are all bright and fluorescent. Is that crossing the

line? There's so much you need to consider. Businesslike attire. But

they were saying in the House of Commons yesterday. It is the last

bastions of formal dress in the House of Commons. But times are

changing. The Speaker of the House

allowing men not to wear a tie, saying "business-like attire"

is all that's required instead. We've already got business casual

and smart casual to deal with. We asked some workers if they'd

want to give up the humble tie. Where I work, in the office I work,

I make sure people I work with all who work for me where a tie. In some

professions it is appropriate to where attire. Banking, even

accountancy, added is appropriate. If I am going to a meeting or

viewing I would probably put on attire, not just in the office, no.

I've personally always found a button up shirt actually looks much

more clean and tidy than a Thai, which seems like an irrelevant piece

of cloth -- tie. An irrelevant piece of cloth, I like

that! Lyn Bromley is Managing

Director of First Impressions Are we seeing this across

businesses, but formal wear is going up the window? We are. For about the

last 20 years things have been changing and dress codes have become

more relaxed. I would say it varies depending on industry you are in and

there are some quite traditional organisations that still do request

them to wear ties and suits, but it has definitely changed over the past

couple of decades. If we look at these, you've got a suit with no

tyre. Where do you start drawing the line about what is smart wear in the

office? What is businesslike attire? It really depends on the

organisation. I would also say it depends on the kind of clients you

work with. In organisations where they are little bit more informal,

such as technology companies and we've seen a massive change in at

over the years with the increasing digitisation, so it is much more

appropriate to be dressed as you are on the right hand side. Whereas on

the left it is really more formal organisations, perhaps like law

firms, accountants, management consultants. Even for those

industries it has been and therefore wearing the our feed without a tie

is considered to be perfectly OK. -- the outfit. I always quite like

sleeves rolled up in the office. Is that suitable? Again, depends on the

organisation and the kind of work. Would it be considered smart? It's

not as smart as the sleeves down, but actually gives much more

preferable than having a short-sleeved shirt on in business,

which isn't seen as quite as professional. I feel quite sorry for

men in the summer, like last week when we seem to have had our summer.

The guys are really warm in the office when they are still having to

wear shirts and ties. So being able to roll sleeves up is unacceptable

look, but again it really depends on the organisation. It is all about

appropriateness for the industry you are in. Thank you very much. There

you go. I think I just about pass, depending on who I am working for.

You would always pass! It's 80 years since the 999

emergency call system Ini 1937 it involved just 24 staff

based at Scotland Yard, world's away from the vast

operation that exists Breakfast's Tim Muffett

is at the headquarters of the London Ambulance Service

for us this morning. He can tell us more about how it

works. Good morning. Good morning. The London Ambulance

Service welcoming us this morning, very nice of them to do that,

because it's a busy place. On the 30th of June, the first 999 calls

were made and in that year around 5000 calls were made for the

Metropolitan police. Compared that today and the ambulance service in

alone in London deals with 1.8 million calls, 10 billion 999 calls

around the country. What's it like doing this job, receiving the calls

here and not knowing what's going to happen? It is really rewarding.

Obviously it's a really fast moving job, so we always have to be

switched on the whole time. Enqueue. You never quite know what's going to

happen. -- thank you. You are from south-east ambulance service. Tell

us about an extraordinary call you took recently. The three roles, the

mom was unconscious, she called herself, no help, just on her own.

Let's have a listen to what happened. And extort recall made by

a three-year-old -- extraordinary call. Ambulance service.

I had no idea that she even knew how to call the ambulance, the number to

call, so we were really proud of her and she has been a little superstar.

I was panicking, that you were on the floor. But everything was OK,

wasn't it? Yeah, it was all right. Everything was fine, because you are

such a big, brave girl. Yeah. Lovely to hear that it was a happy

ending. What was that like? It definitely throws you. Especially

when they are that age, three years old and they don't necessarily know

the process of what happens when you call 999, but she did amazingly

well. The professionalism and the armpit debility, I guess that's what

you need to demonstrate all the time? -- unpredictability. Yes, you

can't stick to a script, you have to go with the process. Well done for

handling it so well. 999 calls in London are first received here. This

is where ambulances are dispatched from. Of course it isn't just

ambulances, you might need a policeman, a fire brigade. Joanne is

senior operating manager from London fire brigade. 999 calls just change

everything so much. What is it like and how have they changed over the

years? They really have changed over the years and they have been a

platform for establishing the emergency control rooms, the one we

are now, where you can bring 999 still for free and get through to an

operator who can give you life-saving advice, take the details

of your emergency and get the fire engines or the ambulances, police

cars there, immediately. With a disaster such as the one that

happened at Grenfell Tower, it shows the chaotic situation which you need

to manage so well. What kind of a challenge is that? It is a challenge

and at times the control room can be very intense. But our operators are

trained to deal with that pressure, to treat all callers calmly, to talk

to them, gathered information they need and we laid out to the

responding officers on the scene. Thanks very much. We will talk more

later. One quick test and I am often asked, why Acra one? -- 999? 000 was

an option but it confused the operator, 111 created a technical

fault, so they decided on 999. Thank you very much. People may

remember that, that phone call made by the little girl, every time you

hear it it is so compelling. And heart wrenching. What a smart

little girl! Time to get but they will

clear the sunny spells There's more from us in half

an hour, here at BBC London News. Hello, this is Breakfast,

with Charlie Stayt and Naga New questions over

the Grenfell Tower disaster, as pressure grows

on Kensington Council. Last night the first

full council meeting, since the fire, ended in chaos,

after a row over whether residents This morning it emerges

that the cladding, originally due to be used on the tower,

was downgraded in order The parents of 10-month-old

Charlie Gard - who lost their legal battle to take him to America

for experimental treatment - say his life support

will be switched off today. Today will be the worst day of our

lives. We know today our son will die and we don't even get to say

what happens to him. Scams involving consumers

being duped into buying "phantom goods" that never materialise

are on the increase. That's according to the consumer

body Citizens Advice. I'll be finding out how

to avoid being caught In sport - three days before

Wimbledon, the British number one Johanna Konta, recovers

from a heavy fall at Eastbourne, to beat the world number

one, Angelique Kerber. And we'll hear the tale of Menai

the tropical sea turtle, found washed up on a North Wales

beach earlier this year thousands We'll find out how she's edging

closer to a return to the wild. Good morning. Some drizzle still

today in the north and west where it will be windy at times. Toward the

south-east, sunny spells and scattered showers. A full forecast

in about 15 minutes. There are fresh calls for the leader

of Kensington Council to resign in the wake of the

Grenfell Tower disaster. A council meeting to discuss

the tragedy was called off last night within minutes of starting

after a row broke out over the attendance of members

of the public and press. A document seen by the BBC has also

revealed more details about the cladding

used on the tower. Our correspondent, Dan Johnson,

is in West London for Dan, just start by telling us

about some of those angry scenes There have been other developments?

Indeed, yes. As each day goes on, bit by bit we are learning more

about this disaster, about the fire and the implications and the

materials that may have contributed to the way that it spread so

quickly. Over two weeks on now we are still hearing about survivors

who need help and we need somewhere properly to be re- homed. It is

becoming clear that some of the people who are in authority, the

figures who should be in charge, do not appear to be able to cope.

A meeting of councillors ending in chaos.

Another sign of a council creaking under pressure.

Having failed to properly respond to the disaster,

last night Kensington and Chelsea failed in a bid to ban

A High Court judge had to remind senior councillors their discussions

The leader of the council's labour group demands

I want a new organisation in the council who can finally get to grips

with the situation. And make sure that my residents are properly

housed and looked after. Ten days after this disaster, I remind you,

we are only a few miles away from Parliament, we are not in a third

World country, ten days after the disaster my people are still not

being housed properly, they are not being listened to, they are not

getting access to the money they have been promised. Before the

meeting last night, the council leader accepted the criticism but

said he was not going. The scale of this was absolutely

enormous, unprecedented. I think any council would have found

it difficult to have everything It was a big challenge

for a relatively small London borough and I am sure we could have

done better and we will look at what we could have

done quicker or better and that will be one of the things

we learn from this tragedy. The panels stuck on the building,

are a key area for The BBC has been told

during refurbishment, zinc cladding was rejected in favour

of an aluminium alternative, not as fire retardant,

but it has the same The council saved

more than ?290,000. How costly that decision

could have been is one London's mayor criticised the

decision to council that meeting last night that he said it needed

belief that the council had tried to shut out the press and public and

then that they had not gone ahead with the meeting. He said that

democracy needed to be open, that the council should be accountable

and should be able to provide ounces. Certainly, there are many

people demanding those answers. The council said it was in the interest

of not prejudicing the enquiry, it could not have the discussions

amongst its senior leadership in the open last night. It reiterates that

any decisions made during the refurbishment of this building were

not about fire safety were about trying to keep costs down and that

twice during the refurbishment of the was pushed up. The council says

it will co-operate with all enquiry. Jeremy Corbyn has sacked three

shadow cabinet ministers It's after 50 Labour MPs defied

the party to back calls for the UK to remain in the single

market following Brexit. Meanwhile, the Government narrowly

avoided its own rebellion over the Queen's Speech -

by offering a last-minute concession on abortion funding for women

in Northern Ireland. Our political correspondent,

Alex Forsyth joins us now. We have last-minute sackings and

deals done in the final moments. Is this the new style parliament that

we have? It is. The new style Parliament. A hung parliament which

means every vote counts and therefore every MP matters. As you

say, we saw a number of Labour MPs last night defied the leadership,

and vote for an amendment which says they want the UK to stay in the

single market when we leave the European Union. The official

position of Labour is that we should retain the benefits of the single

market. A subtle difference at an important one. Jeremy Corbyn sacked

three frontbenchers and another quick. He is asserting the authority

he feels he has won since the election. On the conservative side,

however, they have had to make concessions to stop their

backbenchers from rebelling. Some suggested they may back a Labour

idea which was to fund free abortion services in England for women from

Northern Ireland. Before that vote could happen, the government said we

will find those services to stop them being any trouble from their

backbenchers. This is now parliament looks like. Boulder backbenchers who

will push their party leaders and on the labour side we are seeing them

deal with that by being more authoritative. Theresa May is having

to compromise. The parents of 10-month

old Charlie Gard - who fought an unsuccessful legal

battle to take him to America for experimental

treatment - say he . will stop receiving

life support today. Charlie has a rare genetic

condition and brain damage. Doctors at Great Ormond Street

Hospital say the US treatment We should be over the road,

sitting next to our son's bed, spending the last few

precious hours with him. We just thought we would take

five minutes out to tell It is a video no-one

should ever have to make. In a heartbreaking YouTube post,

10-month-old Charlie's parents say they are being denied their last

hope for their baby boy. We promised our little

boy every day that we That is a promise we

thought we could keep. We want to give him a bath,

we want to sit on a sofa with him, we want

to sleep in a bed with him. We have a cot that he

has never slept in. Charlie was born with a rare genetic

condition and severe brain damage. His parents have been fighting

to keep his life-support switched on since March,

despite doctors saying They took that fight all the way

to the European Court of Human But this week they lost,

as judges agreed with the British courts it was most

likely Charlie was being Today, his life-support

will be switched off. His parents say they are being

rushed at the difficult time Today the tally was born was the

best day of our lives. But today it will be the worst day of our lives.

Great Ormond Street Hospital say they will not

comment on specific details of patient care, but this is very

distressing situation for Charlie's parents and all the staff involved

five minutes time. Returning now to our top story. Renewed calls this

morning for the leadership team at Kensington and Chelsea Council to

resign, following big rental tower disaster. Much anger remains within

the community with residents displaced across the city as they

struggle to find answers from those in power. We have been speaking to

one family affected by the tragedy. This man lived on the ninth floor of

Grenfell Tower with his wife and two children. Now, all four of them with

a few miles away in a hotel. What is it like living in this room? It is

small, you have a double bed and two single beds for your children. It is

crowded. It is a nightmare, I tell you. It is a nightmare. I cannot

sleep. I sleep and I wake up... Maybe four hours a day, a night, and

one room with two children who just want to get out, they want to get

out. His family escaped from Grenfell Tower with seconds to

spare. Safe on the ground, his wife called her brother who lived on the

21st floor. He, his wife and their three children, a 15-year-old, 21

21-year-old and an eight-year-old are all missing, presumed dead. A

devastating reality that Salaheddine's children are

struggling to cope with. They are angry. My daughter is traumatised as

well. If you are skirted paint something, she will paint the tower

on fire and people jumping. Seeing your daughter to draw something like

how does it feel? It is crazy. It is not yet clear when the family will

be able to leave this room and moved to their new home. They hope to stay

in this area and at some point go on a family holiday.

We will be talking later on about some of the problems faced by the

people affected by this tower. Time now to talk to Sarah and have a look

at the weather this morning. Sarah, usually I give you guys a hard time

when it rains when it is this time of year... I don't mind so much

because you always know better weather is around the corner. It has

been a pretty rollercoaster sort of month. If we take a look back, we

had that record-breaking warmth, the warmest June day in 40 years. This

week it has been all about the rain. In fact, we broke records in

Scotland and in Edinburgh with scene 178 millimetres in June, the wettest

June on record. This is how things looked yesterday, captured by one of

our Weather Watchers. Quieter today. The rain isn't as heavy. This is the

radar picture, throwing wet -- showing wet weather in Wales and the

south-west of England. Drizzly rain in Northern Ireland and Scotland.

Some strong winds blowing down across Pembrokeshire, Cornwall as

well, so combined with a wet weather not a very pleasant morning. Further

east it isn't as Wendy and is drive-throughs Midlands, towards

east Anglia and the south-east. Sunshine is breaking through the

cloud. Thicker cloud for the north of Wales and northern England, with

a bit of drizzle here and fair. That drizzle continues in Scotland and

Northern Ireland. Billy Gray and windy, with the breeze coming from

the north, Dominic -- the north. Still blustery Inner west. There

could be heavy showers by mid- morning and mid afternoon.

Especially in parts of Kent, Sussex and London. They will be hit and

miss. Averages 14- 17 under the cloud in the north and west. Further

towards the south-east we are likely to have highs of 23 degrees or so in

London. This evening and overnight there will be a bit of rain sinking

south across central and eastern parts of England, but elsewhere

becomes largely dry and then what we are going to see is this high

pressure but being in the bring us an improved weekend. It won't be dry

everywhere, but compared to the last few days the weekend is looking

brighter and there should be sunshine around. Any early rain

clears from the far south-east and then a return to sunnier conditions,

perhaps rain in Northern Ireland and Scotland late in the day.

Temperatures up to about 24 degrees. A largely dry day. They, perhaps a

few showers in the far south-east and far north-west. We should all

see at least one day of sunshine. Thank you.

Going back to one of our main stories. The response after a

meeting between Kensington and Chelsea council, in light of the

Grenfell Tower tragedy. We can talk to someone from a Justice for

Grenfell action group. They differ joining us. We will talk about the

council meeting yesterday, where there was much discussion about

whether journalists and members of the public should attend, but you

went to a different meeting with survivors and residents of the

tower? Yes, that's correct. Can I just say my name is Caro. I went to

a meeting that Diane Abbott posted yesterday at the House of Commons.

What happened at that meeting? And the survivors were there. Well, the

survivors told her the reality of their experience, as opposed to what

the government has been saying has been going on. For example, Diane

Abbott told the meeting of survivors and other people concerned that they

had been told by the Prime Minister that everyone had been allocated a

social worker. So she asked the people in the room to put their

hands up if they had been allocated social worker and just Jew people

put their hands up. We heard another story about one of the survivors, a

teenage child, who tried to kill herself and was admitted to hospital

yesterday, having taken an overdose of tablets. We heard about survivors

being put in hotel rooms with no windows. I mean the stories go on

and on. The trauma these people have experienced and the way they are

being treated is quite frankly disgraceful and all of these

assurances that have been made by the government in Parliament, the

reality on the ground is totally different. This lack of care, or

this level of care that seems to be lacking amongst those who need it,

who do you think needs to be assigned the task of making sure

that people are looked after? Well, given that the council has

completely failed in every respect as far as this disaster is

concerned, failing to put their emergency plans into action, failing

to engage with people who have been involved, then obviously it has to

be the government and the government has stepped into a certain extent,

but actually all they've done is restricted their to one centre down

here and there are lots of survivors all spread out all over the place

and there is no co-ordination. We don't even have a list of who has

survived and I think that in itself is very telling. And very

distressing I imagine for people there. You have said the council has

failed to put an emergency into action. Do you think it is time for

the council leader to go, or do you think this person needs to stay in

the job to make sure that there is some process at work? Some

continuity? There is no continuity provided by Kensington and Chelsea

Council. He is doing nothing as far as I can see. The overwhelming

feeling in the whole area, both in the better off parts of the borough

and here, is that he should go. He and his deputy should step down.

Ultimately, face criminal investigation into their

responsibilities. Thank you very much for your time this morning.

Let's get the latest business news now from Sean.

Consumers are involved in deals concerning everything from flights

and gadgets. We will have more about that later. And it seems times are

changing. The Speaker of the House of Commons is allowing them not to

wear a tie in the House of Commons, saying businesslike attire is all

that's required. Men would normally have to wear jackets and ties in

you could turn up for an interview with the slip on shoes, no socks!

Where did you draw the line? We will talk more about that later. In about

15 minutes we will have the sport. Fewer people are taking their own

life on the railways. The reduction is thought to be due

to a ground-breaking partnership between the charity

Samaritans and Network Rail. One in six rail staff

and Transport Police have been trained on what to do if they spot

someone looking vulnerable. There has been an 18% reduction

in the number of such deaths since the programme

started last year. Our transport correspondent,

Richard Westcott, reports. Every year more than 200 people

take their own life on the railways. People of all ages,

from all backgrounds. The initial shock

after Oscar died... You're just numb and then

in the weeks and months afterwards Carmel's son Oscar was just 16

when he took his own life, in 2015. He was smart, fun,

popular at school. There was no clue as to how

he was really feeling. You feel like your heart has been

turned into glass, shattered. You're so vulnerable

yourself and at that point Carmel's now starting

a charity in Oscar's name, going into schools, encouraging

children to speak out What we do know is that many

people who are suicidal, one of the things

they are feeling... You can learn how

to prevent suicide. In recent years, nearly 15,000 rail

staff and Transport Police have been on this groundbreaking Samaritans

course, showing them what to do Andy admits he was cynical before

the lesson, but he soon relied on it I sat down, I spoke to him,

asked him if I could help, He said to me he was a coward

and that he wanted to die. So I asked him if he would come

and sit in the van and let me At the time it was the only safe

place I could think to get him. He says one thing in

particular came back to him. I can remember the instructor

in a vulnerable position, how would you feel if someone

didn't come up and talk to you and you were allowed to go

and take your own life? You would want to be able

Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty.

There are fresh calls for the leader of Kensington Council to resign

in the wake of the Grenfell Tower disaster.

A council meeting to discuss the tragedy was called off last

night within minutes of starting after a row broke out over

the attendance of members of the public and press.

A document seen by the BBC has also revealed more details

about the cladding used on the tower.

The leader of the council has said that it will learn from what has

happened. The scale of this was enormous, unprecedented. I think any

council would have found it difficult to have everything in

place. It was a very big challenge for a relatively small London and I

am sure we could have done better and we will look at what we could

have done differently, quicker or better and that will be one of the

lessons we learn from this tragedy. The parents of 10-month

old Charlie Gard - who fought an unsuccessful legal

battle to take him to America for experimental treatment -

say he will stop Charlie has a rare genetic

condition and brain damage. Doctors at Great Ormond Street

Hospital say the US treatment Chris Gard and Connie Yates say

they've now been told they will not be able to take their

son home to die. We promised our little boy every

single day that we would take him home, that is a promise we thought

we could keep. We want to give him a bath at home we want to sit on the

sofa with him. We want to sleep in the bed with him. We want to put him

in a court that he has never slept in fourth we are now being denied

that. Nurseries in England are warning

that local councils are failing to provide enough money

eligible for 30 hours free nursery education a week -

if both parents are in work. However the National Day Nurseries

Association say most won't be able to afford to provide

the extra hours. More than a quarter of women -

who are overdue for a cervical cancer test - don't know

screening is available, The charity found there

was a particular lack of awareness among women who spoke English

as a second language. Around 3,000 new cases are diagnosed

every year and the charity says more needs to be done to reach women

who are missing tests. We were very surprised to find that

some were completely unaware of the programme

and that tended to be women from black, minority

and ethnic groups, women from deprived backgrounds and those

who did not have English That's although all women

in the country who are age eligible for screening are sent an invitation

and information inviting them for some women that is not

a good way to reach them. The American tennis

player, Venus Williams - who is due to play at

Wimbledon next week - has been involved in a car crash,

which led to the death A police spokesman told the BBC

they were investigating the incident in Florida, which happened

earlier this month. Williams's lawyer said the tennis

star "expresses her deepest condolences to the

family" affected. President Trump has been widely

criticised for launching a personal attack against a prominent female

journalist on Twitter. "low IQ crazy Mika" in response

to disparaging remarks about him He also referred to her "bleeding

badly from a facelift". Senior US Republicans were among

those to denounce the comments. Still to come on the programme we

will have the weather but it is time to talk tennis now. Injury worries

us well for both our big brute players. Andy Murray has a sore hip

and Johanna Konta banged her head yesterday. We will find out if she

is affected when she plays again. She fell over on Court in her

career-best win. She got over the injury and defeated the world number

one. But sometimes it will take a couple of days before you feel the

effect of the fall like that. Johanna Konta is, for the moment,

through to the semifinals at Eastbourne but her victory over

Angelique Kerber came at a price. Konta was already a set up

when she suffered a heavy fall late Following a lengthy stoppage

while she received treatment, the British number one eventually

took one of several match points to win the second set

and booked her place She'll play Czech third seed

Karolina Pliskova later today. I slipped and I hit my head

so my head is a little sore right Not just for myself

but for many players. We played a lot of tennis

today so definitely looking forward to recovering

the best I can and playing again. Heather Watson is also

into the last four at Eastbourne, she'll play Caroline

Wozniacki today. You can see that match

on BBC Two from 11 o clock. In the men's draw,

Novak Djokovic kept his Wimbledon preparations on course,

after beating American Donald Young The Serbian, won the first set

easily, but had to survive, two set points in the second before,

winning it in the tiebreak. Djokovic, who's seeded

second for Wimbledon, plays Daniel Medvedev,

in his semi final today. Meanwhile Andy Murray,

has withdrawn from an exhibition event in London today

with a sore hip, denting his Murray is the reigning champion

and top seed for the tournament at the All England club,

but has pulled out of two And the world number 855 Alex Ward,

will be in this morning's main Wimbledon draw, he's

the only British player, to come through the singles

qualifying event. He beat Russia's

Teymuraz Gabashvili. Ward had lost his previous seven

matches, before this week. Simon Grayson says he wants to give

Sunderland fans a team they can be proud of after he was appointed

as their new manager. He signed a three-year

deal with the club. He replaces David Moyes who resigned

in May and joins after four years with fellow championship

club Preston. Also signing a three-year deal

is England striker Jermaine Defoe who is making a return

to Bournemouth. He had a clause in his contract

allowing him to leave for free following Sunderland's relegation

from the Premier League. One year before the World Cup,

the reigning champions Germany Their reserves side

cruised into the final of the Confederations Cup,

thrashing Mexico 4-1. It was a only a consolation

but worth seeing again. Germany will play Chile in the final

on Sunday in Saint Petersburg. Rangers won their first European

fixture in six years with a 1-0 victory. Defeats Saint Johnstone,

however who lost 2-1 against their lives Iranian opponents. Full

I'm as nervous as ever, given I have as much to skate for as they ever

did before. This is my fourth this attempt. The challenge is bigger

this year and the level of my rivals is bigger, on a difficult course as

well. So I am here with... With all the motivation I have had

previously, if not even more. Finally, there is nothing a mother

will not do for her son. Even if you are a grown man, playing a

professional golf tournament. This Chinese player through his putter

into the water. A bit of a tantrum. 20 minutes later, this is his

mother, knee deep in the water looking for the putter, attracting

attention from other players. She found it but realised it was broken.

Her effort sent the players into fits of laughter. Look, she wades

out, realises how broken it is. Throws it back in. She had to take

it out a few more step and she could have handed it in. But is in the

water for someone else to discover. If that had been a Christmas

present... I would have made him play with a broken putter by having

a temper tantrum like that. You need to respect your clubs.

When your children sit down to watch kids TV you can be safe

in the knowledge they won't be bombarded with adverts for fizzy

Yet these days, young people often go online to access their favourite

shows - where the same rules don't apply.

Well that's all about to change, because from this weekend

all children's media will have to abide by the same regulations.

Joining us now is Shahriar Coupal from the Committee of

Advertising Practice and nutritionist Kawther Hashem,

Thank you very much for joining us this morning. Can you tell us

exactly what will change from this morning and it does it include

programmes that have been on previously that had advertised in

surrounding them? Well, the rules that we are introducing come through

a background of concern over the rising cost of obesity in terms of

society and media landscape. Children are now watching, spending

more time online than they do watching TV so against that concern

we are now putting into place rules that will ban ads for products that

are high in fat, salt or sugar in all media. So this is not just a ban

on all Swedes and all food, it has to be deemed to be very high in fat

and sugar. Yes. And that is according to a department of health

nutrient profile which looks at certain factors like saturated fat

and salt and total sugar and looks on the other side of the equation at

things like fruit and vegetables and fibre content and judges them to be

either high in fat salt and sugar or not. What difference does Obama this

make? I think it will make some difference. A step in the right

direction. I don't think it is enough because at the moment it has

to be media that is consumed by the majority of children. If, for

example, it has a population less than 25% of the audience that could

be children, they will be exposed to it. Some like social media, many

companies advertise their product on social media and we know a lot of

children have access to that and are signed up. I think within that space

there will not be any recommendations. Do you see, just on

the issue of how people are affected by advertising, children in

particular, you see a direct link between a child sitting in front of

whatever it may be, possibly television, but now their computer,

a direct link between what they see and what they eat? There are many

different reports of evidence from World Health Organization and even

from Public Health England about how exposure to junk food advertise

meant does influence the preferences of children and changes their food

habits. Yes, there is a direct link between looking at an advert and

obesity but there isn't link of influence on eating habits. You want

to respond on social media? We are very concerned to get the right

level of protection in place for children but not at the expense of

heavy-handed regulation that has adverse consequences. How can

heavy-handed regulation her children as they are not being exposed to

high fat or high sugar foods was to mark how is that heavy-handed? Isn't

it sensible? It takes money away from broadcasters, money that

broadcasters put into children content and that is a detriment that

we need to take into account. We want to put in the right level of

regulation and we think we have the balance right and that balance is a

ban on foods that are high in fat salt or sugar that is a drastic

restriction in exposure to those products but, also, where children

do see these ads, we have in place some very strict content rules that

prevent ads from encouraging pester power, but not on social media? And

on social media. Our sister or organisation has been regulating ads

for over 20 years. Last year over half of the ads we banned were from

the Internet so we have a good track record of tackling ads. Do people

get fined? We don't find them. You just doesn't take them down? Is that

what happens? We tell them to take the ads down but we also call

resources into our training and advice services to make sure that

advertisers understand both the letter and of the law. There are no

examples for companies to be able to see what is an ad that did not work.

So, for example, your colleagues have not been able to produce any

examples of websites that would not fall within this band, this remit of

regulation. We need to leave it there for now. Thank you very much

for your time. I'm sure this is something that parents will be

discussing this morning. Time now for more about the weather.

Good morning. Bit of weather through the weekend. If we look back at this

month, it has been a month of rollercoaster weather. We had the

extreme heat last week and this week it has been all about the rain. It's

been the wettest June on record it and -- in Edinburgh. This was the

scene captured yesterday by one of our Weather Watchers. Still some

rain today, as it is more quiet. This image has just come in from one

of our Weather Watchers in Warwickshire. If we look at the

satellite image, although most places are cloudy there is some cold

in the cloud. Through the Midlands, east Anglia and the south-east with

got decent spells of sunshine. A lot of cloud elsewhere and drizzly rain,

heavy in the south-west of England and south Wales. That will ease

later. Windy in the west. Some cloud and rain affecting parts of Scotland

and the far north of England. A mixed picture through the course of

the day. This afternoon we still have a few showers across Wales and

the south-west, with a northerly breeze around. Less windy and dryer

towards the south-east, but we have got the chance of some heavy showers

from mid-morning until mid-afternoon will stop it could cause some

localised surface flooding. More cloud in Wales, northern England,

where we have patchy rain. Most of it will ease into the afternoon.

Northern Ireland mainly dry and Scotland too things will dry out in

the day. Into the evening for many it is looking dry, but there will be

patchy rain sinking south across central and eastern parts of England

through the night at becoming largely dry elsewhere. Temperatures

about 13- 14 degrees. Into the weekend things will improve because

we've got this ridge of high pressure building in. Moving into

Saturday any early rain in the south-east should clear away. It is

looking dry and brighter. There will be some rain heading into the

north-west later in the day, so the breeze picking up later the Northern

Ireland and Scotland. But for much of the country it is largely dry,

and it will feel a little bit warmer, up to about 24 degrees.

Similar on Sunday. Again the chance of a few showers in the far

south-east and in the far north-west, but for most parts of

the country not a bad day. Lighter winds, warmer and with the sunshine

around a to about 22 degrees. What have we got? Phantom goods.

Things you think you are buying and when it gets to the delivery they

don't turn up. This is a new area that the consumer

world has identified as a problem. A lot of us are buying more things

through social media like Facebook and online marketplaces

like Gumtree and eBay. There's been a a 20% increase

in the number of people falling It's exactly what happened

to Michael from Swindon. I saw a car advertised, which I'd

always wanted to get, really lovely. Got through to the guide, very

pleasant. Yes, we can deliver the car on such and such a date, we need

a 50% deposit and a ?200 handling fee. It never turned up and in the

end it was a scam. I felt that small, I really did. I was disgusted

with myself that I let myself. We all think we are savvy, but this

time it didn't work out. Luckily Michael did get his money back. But

that's not always the case. Let's talk to Tom MacInness,

he's from Citizens Advice. How does that work? What happens is

online, often on social media, you see a deal or a bargain that looks

like a really great offer and it happens across a range of things.

We've had calls about jewellery, cameras, airline flights, the lot.

What happens is once you've paid for the goods they don't turn up and fed

the seller just disappears. So it ends up that you've basically been

scammed for the money. What can you possibly do? When you are looking at

the listings, there's not much difference on the listings that will

tell you if it's a phantom good or not. That's part of the problem

because they do look genuine and often they copy reputable brands or

organisations. If you pay the something of a website you should

check that there is an address and an actual physical location for that

company. You can also check the URL to make sure the website address is

attached to a real company. The third thing is if you are paying for

something on my initial cheque for the padlock to make sure the payment

is secure. The biggest piece of advice is if it looks to good to be

true that should set alarm bells ringing. In terms of those companies

we mentioned, eBay, Gumtree, Facebook, should they be doing more?

They make a lot of money out of us using their websites to buy things.

Should they be doing more to figure out whether these goods are for

real? Because these websites look authentic and genuine, it can be

difficult to take that kind of approach. Given that people spend so

much time online, it's a big part of everyone's life, and consumers

themselves maybe have to take... Be a bit more cautious when they are

spending that money and making those purchases. Thanks very much for

that. It can be a bit of an issue and it has been growing, but

hopefully if you follow that advice you would get caught out.

Certainly something that resonates with all of our viewers all the

time. We've been getting a

behind-the-scenes look this morning at the 999 service.

It's been 80 years since the 999 emergency call system

Back in 1937, it involved just 24 staff based at Scotland Yard,

world's away from the vast operation that exists

Tim has backstage access at the headquarters.

It is fascinating being here at the headquarters of the London Ambulance

Service. We've been hearing operators speak to people who have

been undergoing dramatic circumstances. Childbirth, cardiac

arrest, a lot of pressure. Before 1937 if you faced an emergency

situation you would dial zero and then be put through to the correct

service. 80 years ago the 999 service was introduced. You are the

director of operations. How have things changed recently? We've got

an incredibly busy. We are answering double the amount of 999 calls than

ten years ago. So colleagues here in the operation centre are answering

about 5500 calls every day. If you call 999 and you need an ambulance

you will be put through to this place here. What happens then?

Essentially the minute the call is connected to our control room one of

our operators will first of all identify the exact location, where

they are and what is the problem. What is it like dealing with this

chaotic situations? When we have our most intense calls, our adrenaline

is running at we don't really have the time to realise how it is maybe

impacting us until after the call has happened, when we get a chance
