:00:00. > :00:09.Hello this is Breakfast, with Naga Munchetty and Jon Kay.
:00:10. > :00:12.More criticism of Kensington Council as the London Mayor calls for it
:00:13. > :00:17.The council leader and his deputy resigned yesterday over
:00:18. > :00:20.their response to the Grenfell fire, now Sadiq Khan says commissioners
:00:21. > :00:41.Good morning it's Saturday the 1st of July.
:00:42. > :00:44.A former hospital employee opens fire with an assault rifle
:00:45. > :00:51.in New York, killing one doctor and injuring six other people.
:00:52. > :00:54.Ten years after smoking was banned in public places in England,
:00:55. > :00:57.we'll be asking how much difference it's made.
:00:58. > :01:00.In sport, it's make or break for the British and Irish lions
:01:01. > :01:03.in one of the most significant games in their history.
:01:04. > :01:13.Lose to the All Blacks, and the Test series is over.
:01:14. > :01:16.And it's the sailing sport that sees you fly above the water -
:01:17. > :01:28.Much how fun does that look! Amazing.
:01:29. > :01:37.A chilly start for most of the country. Mostly drive with some
:01:38. > :01:39.sunny spells. Kensington and Chelsea Council
:01:40. > :01:42.is facing more criticism over its handling
:01:43. > :01:44.of the Grenfell fire. The Mayor of London Sadiq Khan
:01:45. > :01:47.is calling for commissioners to be brought in to take over
:01:48. > :01:50.the running of the authority, The council leader,
:01:51. > :01:54.Nicholas Paget-Brown, and his deputy, both
:01:55. > :02:08.resigned yesterday. After angry protests at the council
:02:09. > :02:11.officers and after a meeting of the council was cut short following an
:02:12. > :02:15.attempt to land the public and press... Were you pressured by
:02:16. > :02:21.number ten to resign? The pressure for the leader got too great. This
:02:22. > :02:28.is a huge human tragedy. Many families. The task, successor is to
:02:29. > :02:34.ensure that the strengths which also characterise this place and North
:02:35. > :02:38.Kensington in particular, seem to play their part in bringing the
:02:39. > :02:43.community together. But the Mayor of London says that this cannot happen
:02:44. > :02:49.without a change of leadership from the existing councils. He said the
:02:50. > :02:56.authority is not fit for purpose. Tate commissioners must be brought
:02:57. > :02:59.in immediately. He has the backing of a community campaigner who says
:03:00. > :03:05.residents have been in Lord for far too long. Trust in the whole of the
:03:06. > :03:10.Cabinet has gone, confidence in the council has gone. They would
:03:11. > :03:16.complain if the yes and raise these issues and the aftermath has been
:03:17. > :03:20.disastrous, as we can all see and you people do need to be put in
:03:21. > :03:25.place that people can be confident in. One Conservative member called
:03:26. > :03:28.the idea and democratic. The communities Secretary said it was
:03:29. > :03:32.right that the leader stepped aside and the government remained focused
:03:33. > :03:37.on providing all necessary support to people affected by the tragedy.
:03:38. > :03:40.Our correspondent, Simon Jones is outside Kensington Town Hall this
:03:41. > :03:50.morning - Simon, how likely is the government to intervene?
:03:51. > :03:58.This is where angry residents gathered two weeks ago to protest.
:03:59. > :04:03.Some are up the steps behind me and managed to get up inside the
:04:04. > :04:07.building. They said their voices were not being hurt when they made
:04:08. > :04:10.complaints about safety before the fire and that they had been
:04:11. > :04:15.abandoned by the council after that. The anger remains but for a
:04:16. > :04:20.government to step in and remove councillors elected by the public is
:04:21. > :04:27.a big deal but it has happened before in the past, in rather where
:04:28. > :04:33.the council was accused of not being fit for purpose are not dealing
:04:34. > :04:40.properly with child exploitation. And also in another occasion with a
:04:41. > :04:47.culture of cronyism was found. Whoever takes over the council, if
:04:48. > :04:52.they councillors or commissioners, they have a huge task to restore
:04:53. > :04:54.confidence in the council and build bridges with residents who feel so
:04:55. > :04:56.badly let down. A man has opened fire
:04:57. > :04:59.inside a hospital in New York, killing a doctor and seriously
:05:00. > :05:01.wounding six other people. The gunman, who was a former
:05:02. > :05:16.employee at the hospital, The Bronx-Lebanon Hospital is
:05:17. > :05:22.normally a place of care and concern but on Friday afternoon, one doctor
:05:23. > :05:25.broke his oath to do no harm. A former employee entered the building
:05:26. > :05:31.with an assault rifle concealed under a white doctors coat. He has
:05:32. > :05:38.been identified as Doctor Henry Bello. If I had numerous shots on
:05:39. > :05:46.the 16th and 17th floor of the hospital which struck many dog is on
:05:47. > :05:51.duty. Thank God this was not an act of terrorism. It is an isolated
:05:52. > :05:57.incident. It appears to be a workplace related matter but that
:05:58. > :06:01.makes it no less tragic all no less horrible. Emergency services
:06:02. > :06:04.responded and locked down the building. Officers went floor to
:06:05. > :06:09.floor looking for the shooter, following a trail of blood. They
:06:10. > :06:14.were told he was on the 17th floor and once there they found him dead
:06:15. > :06:20.from a self inflict it gun wound. One female doctor was found dead and
:06:21. > :06:24.six other and injured. Some are fighting for their lives. There are
:06:25. > :06:28.still many an Ansett questions, including how a man was able to
:06:29. > :06:30.enter a hospital with an assault rifle in one of the few places in
:06:31. > :06:33.the country where they are banned. The former chief of staff
:06:34. > :06:36.to the Brexit Secretary has said negotiations with the EU
:06:37. > :06:38.are being "hamstrung" by Theresa May's
:06:39. > :06:39.lack of flexibility. James Chapman worked
:06:40. > :06:42.closely with David Davis, and told the BBC that the red lines
:06:43. > :06:45.set by the Prime Minister had made his former boss's job very
:06:46. > :06:49.difficult as he conducts talks There will be further talks
:06:50. > :06:53.between the Northern Ireland political parties today
:06:54. > :06:55.as they try to reach a deal to save the power-sharing
:06:56. > :06:57.agreement by Monday. The Northern Ireland
:06:58. > :07:00.Secretary James Brokenshire, said the situation "cannot continue
:07:01. > :07:02.for much longer," after the DUP and Sinn Fein missed a government
:07:03. > :07:08.deadline on Thursday. A number of British Airways cabin
:07:09. > :07:11.crew are launching a sixteen-day strike from this morning
:07:12. > :07:13.in a long-running dispute The airline says that no
:07:14. > :07:17.short-haul flights will be affected, but it has brought in aircraft
:07:18. > :07:20.and crews from Qatar Airways Thousands of police have been
:07:21. > :07:26.deployed in Hong Kong, where celebrations are being held
:07:27. > :07:31.to mark the 20th anniversary of the territory's handover
:07:32. > :07:33.from British to Chinese rule. The new chief executive
:07:34. > :07:35.Carrie Lam was sworn Our Correspondent Juliana Liu joins
:07:36. > :07:43.us now from live from Hong Kong. Juliana, it's a day of not just
:07:44. > :08:01.celebration, but tensions too? The new chief executor of Hong Kong,
:08:02. > :08:05.Carrie Lam, was sworn in by the Chinese President, Xi Xingpin, on
:08:06. > :08:09.his first trip to Hong Kong as president of China. He reiterated
:08:10. > :08:18.his commitment to the one country two systems system in Hong Kong
:08:19. > :08:24.allowing it more freedom. He also let the people in the city who are
:08:25. > :08:30.calling for independence from China. Let me share with you what he said
:08:31. > :08:36.which is, any attempt to endanger China sovereignty and security is
:08:37. > :08:40.absolutely impermissible. That is what he said this morning around the
:08:41. > :08:47.time of the duration, there were scuffles between pro- Beijing and
:08:48. > :08:53.pro-democracy groups. These are scuffles took place for more than an
:08:54. > :08:57.hour and it was really a physical manifestation of the deep divisions
:08:58. > :08:58.in society today. Thank you very much.
:08:59. > :09:01.If you were due to see Adele at Wembley this weekend,
:09:02. > :09:05.The singer has been forced to cancel both shows because she's
:09:06. > :09:16.In a series of tweets, Adele said she was devastated
:09:17. > :09:21.and heartbroken as the shows were the biggest of her life.
:09:22. > :09:25.But she admitted she'd struggled vocally earlier in the week.
:09:26. > :09:28.On Wednesday night she also told fans that this tour
:09:29. > :09:35.It's exactly ten years today since the smoking ban was introduced
:09:36. > :09:37.in pubs and other licensed premises in England.
:09:38. > :09:39.It hasn't been popular with everybody,
:09:40. > :09:43.but campaigners say the legislation has helped two million smokers
:09:44. > :09:45.to kick the habit, as our Health Correspondent Sophie
:09:46. > :09:58.Over a decade ago, lighting up in restaurants, pubs and bars, in fact
:09:59. > :10:05.any enclosed public space was the norm at all that changed with the
:10:06. > :10:10.band ten years ago bringing it in line with the rest of the UK.
:10:11. > :10:17.Smoking rates are the lowest ever recorded, just ate million smokers
:10:18. > :10:24.are and that means 2 million people have given up. The proportion of 16
:10:25. > :10:29.- 24 year olds is just 17%. An all-time low. We are after a
:10:30. > :10:34.smoke-free generation. We at part way there. Younger people dropping
:10:35. > :10:40.more people than other age groups. We are seeing them using EC Greta
:10:41. > :10:46.Small is innate to quit smoking and that seems to be particularly
:10:47. > :10:53.helpful. Also services that can help them. But there have been criticisms
:10:54. > :10:57.about the ban, saying it has led to the closure of 11,000 pubs in
:10:58. > :11:04.England. Public support for smoke-free areas has grown. A poll
:11:05. > :11:07.suggesting just 4% of people would like to see it overturned. Just/

:12:08. > :12:12.The area has been redesigned in her honour on the significant

:12:53. > :12:54.reflect and say prayers. A brand new photograph
:12:55. > :12:57.of Her Majesty the Queen has been released this morning,
:12:58. > :12:59.to celebrate the 150th anniversary The Queen, who is head of state,
:13:00. > :13:04.is wearing the platinum brooch set with diamonds on her left shoulder,
:13:05. > :13:10.if you look closely you can spot it. The piece of jewellery has been worn
:13:11. > :13:13.by a succession of royal women including the Queen Mother
:13:14. > :13:16.and recently the Duchess of Prince Charles and Camilla
:13:17. > :13:31.are celebrating Canada Day It is 6:13am stop thank you for
:13:32. > :13:34.joining us. Some very important spot. Do you wish you were watching
:13:35. > :13:39.at? I will tune in later. It's "do or die" for
:13:40. > :13:41.the British and Irish Lions That's the words of defence
:13:42. > :13:44.coach Andy Farrell. Their second Test
:13:45. > :13:47.against the All Blacks kicks off just after eight
:13:48. > :13:49.thirty this morning. Our Sports Correspondent Katie
:13:50. > :13:51.Gornall is at the Westpac Stadium in Katie, the Lions face
:13:52. > :14:04.a big challenge. It must be very tense of their? It
:14:05. > :14:09.is. I mean, there is a say much riding on this game. The tour
:14:10. > :14:12.captain described it as the biggest challenge of his career. In
:14:13. > :14:20.Wellington, a game down, they have to come back against the world
:14:21. > :14:24.champion on home turf - it does not get any bigger than this. They were
:14:25. > :14:32.very outmuscled in the first test. There pride was wounded and a
:14:33. > :14:38.response is being demanded. It is this election in midfield having
:14:39. > :14:45.everyone talking. Sexton and Farrell together. It will take something
:14:46. > :14:50.special together to knock the All Blacks of their perch. The weather
:14:51. > :14:57.is forecasting rain. That is not necessarily a bad thing. The weather
:14:58. > :15:02.could be a bit of a leveller, something for Lions fans to cling on
:15:03. > :15:07.to. I was an event yesterday, there then Kieran Read, the All Blacks,
:15:08. > :15:14.was coaching kids. Normally you would expect them to be more tense
:15:15. > :15:19.but he was looking very relaxed. The Lions will have to produce the game
:15:20. > :15:26.of their careers if they are to win their later.
:15:27. > :15:33.Let there, and not here. It has been getting better this weekend. Louise
:15:34. > :15:38.will tell you all about it -- wet they are. We have seen some heavy
:15:39. > :15:43.rain this week, but for the first weekend of July are not looking too
:15:44. > :15:47.bad at all. The dominantly dry. It will be some sunshine and in the
:15:48. > :15:51.sunshine at this time of year, if you get it and keep it it will feel
:15:52. > :15:55.pretty warm as well. A beautiful start up into the north-west. In
:15:56. > :16:02.Scotland, look at this in Argyll Bute. The cloud will arrive today,
:16:03. > :16:05.so make the most of it as there is a weather front heading in your
:16:06. > :16:11.direction. Rain through the motocross the south-east will ease
:16:12. > :16:17.away, -- reigned through the south-east will ease away. Sunlight,
:16:18. > :16:21.patchy rain into the Western Isles a little bit later on. The best of the
:16:22. > :16:24.breaks in the cloud eventually shifting their way further east, and
:16:25. > :16:28.here in Scotland temperatures will respond. Cloud into Northern Ireland
:16:29. > :16:34.and through much of England and Wales this morning. Maybe the cloud
:16:35. > :16:37.thick enough was still a spot or two of drizzle in the extreme
:16:38. > :16:40.south-east, but conditions will improve. The cloud remaining fairly
:16:41. > :16:45.well broken towards the west and as we go through the day will start to
:16:46. > :16:49.see some sunshine coming through. A big slice of sunshine from the west
:16:50. > :16:51.and cloud breaking up in the south-east as well so temperatures
:16:52. > :16:56.will respond. That weak weather front to the north and west
:16:57. > :17:01.producing some drizzle, 12 to 18 degrees. We might see 19 or 24
:17:02. > :17:06.eastern Scotland and highest values of 2324 in the south-east corner.
:17:07. > :17:10.That is the mid- 70s Fahrenheit. That weather front will gradually
:17:11. > :17:13.drift its way south and east as we move out of Saturday towards the
:17:14. > :17:17.early hours of Sunday morning and there could be some heavy bursts,
:17:18. > :17:20.that is good news for gardeners and growers. We could see some rain for
:17:21. > :17:24.gardeners through the night but it means a pretty grey, potentially wet
:17:25. > :17:30.start in the south-east with a smattering of showers into the far
:17:31. > :17:33.north-west. We start Monday with contrasting weather conditions. The
:17:34. > :17:37.rain will ease away, and improving picture but we keep the risk of a
:17:38. > :17:40.few sharp showers and winds increasing here. They are likely to
:17:41. > :17:46.stay as quite a feature over the next day or so. Top temperatures on
:17:47. > :17:51.Sunday afternoon, we are looking at 13 to 23. More from me coming up
:17:52. > :17:53.later in the morning. We will not be complaining about that at all.
:17:54. > :17:58.But now, let's hear Mark Kermode's take on this week's new releases,
:17:59. > :18:14.Hello and welcome to the Film Review on BBC News.
:18:15. > :18:17.To take us through this week's cinema releases is Mark Kermode.
:18:18. > :18:25.We have A Man Called Ove, which is a portrait
:18:26. > :18:29.We have Despicable Me 3, the Minions are back.
:18:30. > :18:41.Lots to talk about but my most important role this week is to get
:18:42. > :18:43.the pronunciation right of A Man Called Ove.
:18:44. > :18:49.It is adapted from a bestseller and the blurb says, it will make
:18:50. > :18:52.you feel a new sympathy for the curmudgeons in your life.
:18:53. > :18:56.The tag line on the movie poster is, you will love him as much
:18:57. > :19:06.He wants to end his life but it keeps being distracted
:19:07. > :19:08.by his neighbours to keep breaking the housing association rules,
:19:09. > :19:15.of which he is a stickler for keeping to.
:19:16. > :19:18.When a new family moves and he is furious about their presence,
:19:19. > :19:19.their noise, generally them being there.
:19:20. > :19:22.However, a woman sees behind that curudgeonly facade,
:19:23. > :19:24.he starts to break down his resistance and amazingly,
:19:25. > :20:38.A fantastic look of exasperation on his face.
:20:39. > :20:43.Did you ever see The 100-year-old Man Who Climbed Out The Window And
:20:44. > :20:51.I know the one you mean, I didn't, sadly but I read about it.
:20:52. > :20:54.I struggled with that film, because it had that Scandi humour
:20:55. > :20:56.think that I never really fell in with.
:20:57. > :21:00.With this, it looks like that kind of film but then we start to learn
:21:01. > :21:02.about his life story, young romance, childhood trauma,
:21:03. > :21:05.his relationship with his wife which is idyllic but faces tragedy,
:21:06. > :21:09.and you start to understand how he got to where he is and it is
:21:10. > :21:22.There is an ongoing argument about whether Saabs or Volvos
:21:23. > :21:28.Entire friendships fall out over these arguments but you start to see
:21:29. > :21:32.He has a strong moral compass and is somebody who has suffered
:21:33. > :21:36.Inside that is the person he used to be.
:21:37. > :21:40.I went in thinking I would go for it, but I laughed and cried.
:21:41. > :21:44.I like any movie that makes me cry because it means that it's working,
:21:45. > :21:59.Despite the tag line, you will love him as much
:22:00. > :22:02.as he hates you, which I thought would be a hard watch,
:22:03. > :22:11.Alternatively, a third of any film, really, does the world need this?
:22:12. > :22:13.Whether we need Despicable Me 3 is another question.
:22:14. > :22:16.Here's the thing, I find the Minions funny.
:22:17. > :22:19.They are running out of plots and they had to bring a twin brother
:22:20. > :22:23.in to make the plot work, but you see the minions before
:22:24. > :22:26.the titles and one pulls out a fart gun and I just started laughing.
:22:27. > :22:30.I giggled like an idiot for the rest of the film because I think
:22:31. > :22:37.The verbal staff is funny and they are perfect slapstick
:22:38. > :22:44.creations, they remind me of what was funny
:22:45. > :22:52.There is Steve Carrell and a story about Gru and his brother,
:22:53. > :22:55.a new super villain but for me I just find the minions funny.
:22:56. > :23:00.Even though I knew that I shouldn't, I did.
:23:01. > :23:09.I am so fascinated by Risk, your third choice.
:23:10. > :23:17.This is by Laura Poitras, who made Citizenfour,
:23:18. > :23:21.about Edward Snowden which was brilliant.
:23:22. > :23:31.She was in the hotel room when the revelations were made.
:23:32. > :23:34.He came across as self-effacing and shy in that documentary.
:23:35. > :23:37.Someone who did not want to be the centre of the story.
:23:38. > :23:40.This is one about Julian Assange, about whom the adjectives

:23:43. > :23:44.The film is very conflicted about its subject.
:23:45. > :23:47.It looks like it began as a film about someone film maker admired,
:23:48. > :23:55.The portrait we get is someone who is narcissistic,
:23:56. > :23:57.controlling, self obsessed, and has no self-awareness.
:23:58. > :24:01.Here is a clip in which Julian Assange and his associate are trying

:24:09. > :24:17.You are the emergency line and it will take a while?

:24:33. > :24:34.OK, let me start by giving you my phone number.
:24:35. > :24:44.Details including an unredacted cable set are about to go
:24:45. > :24:55.I do not understand why you do not see the urgency in this.
:24:56. > :25:07.We don't have a problem, you have a problem.
:25:08. > :25:13.The story is well now rehearsed, I think people know
:25:14. > :25:18.What is strange about this film is that it is very fragmented,
:25:19. > :25:21.it is nothing like as good as Citizenfour.
:25:22. > :25:24.You can tell that it is a film in which the film-maker's
:25:25. > :25:26.relationship to the subject changed during it.
:25:27. > :25:28.When the film was first seen about a year ago,
:25:29. > :25:31.the film-makers said the Julian Assange demanded changes
:25:32. > :25:34.and got lawyers involved, which he did not have the right
:25:35. > :25:44.She has made the film that she wanted to make.
:25:45. > :25:47.There is an irony in someone who is releasing information wanting
:25:48. > :25:55.We have seen this before in other documentaries
:25:56. > :25:57.and in the much-derided drama, the Fifth Estate.
:25:58. > :26:00.You get an inside view, but it is fragmented and frustrating
:26:01. > :26:03.because even when they are talking about the electio,n you want
:26:04. > :26:15.Julian Assange has said that the film will do his reputation
:26:16. > :26:19.no good at all and I think that he is right.
:26:20. > :26:23.Which some people may take as a recommendation in itself.
:26:24. > :26:28.It depends where you stand on these things.
:26:29. > :26:31.It is interesting, also that it was made by a woman.
:26:32. > :26:41.It caused a fuss when it was released at Cannes
:26:42. > :26:43.because it is simultaneously released on Netfix.
:26:44. > :26:47.It is basically as story about a young girl in Korea who has
:26:48. > :26:51.She follows to America to stop it being experimented
:26:52. > :26:57.It is a film about where food comes from and how does capitalism hide
:26:58. > :27:02.Tilda Swinton is a fantastically monstrous creation.
:27:03. > :27:07.The film uses brilliant CGI to bring the giant pig to life.
:27:08. > :27:11.The film is satirical and strange and I liked it.
:27:12. > :27:21.It is thought provoting, it is not vegetarian propaganda
:27:22. > :27:23.but it will give you food for thought.
:27:24. > :27:25.I like that phrase, vegetarian propaganda.
:27:26. > :27:49.It is a story about a young man he was involved in an accident
:27:50. > :27:52.and his heart may be used for a transplant to save someone
:27:53. > :28:01.It is a film about the miracle of medicine but it is more
:28:02. > :28:04.than that, it is about life and death, it is about
:28:05. > :28:06.transcendence, it takes poetic meanders into strange areas.
:28:07. > :28:11.It is very underplayed and does not feel like it is manipulating your
:28:12. > :28:14.emotions but I was totally overwhelmed by it.
:28:15. > :28:18.Everyone I know who has seen it has loved that.
:28:19. > :28:24.I am genuinely looking forward to that.

:36:22. > :36:28.It is a big tournament next week for all of us but it is something that I
:36:29. > :36:33.have to disregard when it comes to my health. My health has always come
:36:34. > :36:37.first and I'm definitely doing all I can to be ready for Wimbledon but I
:36:38. > :36:37.will do whatever is best for my health.
:36:38. > :36:40.England's Jodi Ewart Shadoff is very well placed in the Women's PGA
:36:41. > :36:44.She sank five birdies in a blemish-free round of 66,

:37:22. > :37:37.The level of my rivals and the course we are racing on this year
:37:38. > :37:43.makes it a much more open race and it will be the biggest challenge for
:37:44. > :37:50.me, for sure. To win a fourth Tour de France would be incredible. I
:37:51. > :37:58.mean, I do not want to jinx it. It would just be... Unreal.
:37:59. > :38:01.Now its a big weekend of sailing, with the "Round the island Race",
:38:02. > :38:05.which happens around the Isle of wight, and I've been in those
:38:06. > :38:07.waters, for an exclusive look at how, the sport of foiling,
:38:08. > :38:11.in which you fly along above the water, is becoming more
:38:12. > :38:14.If you thought the sort of sailing we've seen recently,
:38:15. > :38:17.in the America's cup, was just for the most experienced
:38:18. > :38:30.Is it a boat or is it a plane? Well, it tries to be a bit of both. It is
:38:31. > :38:37.trying to bring the thrill of the America's Cup sailing to all of us.
:38:38. > :38:43.It changes the game massively in terms of how much fun you can have.
:38:44. > :38:50.The kids are going to love this. Until May, the sport of foiling us
:38:51. > :38:56.Andy Bean for the most daring because the consequences could be
:38:57. > :39:02.serious. Every time you make a small mistake, you capsize of the boat and
:39:03. > :39:08.most people have got three or four in them before it is all too much.
:39:09. > :39:12.This is a new challenge. These Paralympic gold-medallist is used to
:39:13. > :39:19.sailing in the water and I joined her on her third attempt at this for
:39:20. > :39:28.a bit of a crash course. Incredible! We are not even touching the
:39:29. > :39:33.surface. We have lift off! Is this all there, that is what makes it a
:39:34. > :39:38.lot safer for novices because we crashed the water but did not go
:39:39. > :39:46.over. We will carry on and tried to get lift off again. These boats make
:39:47. > :39:56.it more accessible for more people. Out of the water, that happens
:39:57. > :40:01.roughly... Did we crashed? I am learning at the moment. We have had
:40:02. > :40:08.a couple of crashes but it was steady, it did not capsize. The
:40:09. > :40:14.difference is, normally in a boat, it is a noisy but when you get up on
:40:15. > :40:17.these boats, it goes quiet and there is this sense of speed and flying
:40:18. > :40:25.through the air. The only guaranteed way to flip these boats over is back
:40:26. > :40:32.on dry land. It looks a something out of Star Wars. It is that because
:40:33. > :40:37.it does have the float so it is a boat but the whole point of this is
:40:38. > :40:44.we tried to get it to fly. This is the automatic height control. These
:40:45. > :40:50.gauges how high the boat is out of the water. It will soon be available
:40:51. > :40:54.for thrill seekers across the UK stop whether you have had sailing
:40:55. > :40:59.experience or not. You see the America's Cup, it seems hard to get
:41:00. > :41:06.to that level but with this boat you can take it out and even if as a
:41:07. > :41:12.beginner you can start straightaway. You should not worry about the boat
:41:13. > :41:16.capsizing but do be prepared to get rather wet.
:41:17. > :41:22.These boats will give people the experience of the America's Cup but
:41:23. > :41:30.at six knots so the danger is much lower. What does it feel like when
:41:31. > :41:35.he jumps in the air? At first you feel quite scared but once in the
:41:36. > :41:43.air, it is fine. Does it feel like flying? Absolutely. The sound goes.
:41:44. > :41:47.It goes quite silent. Very eerie but brilliant. Well done. A very lucky
:41:48. > :41:51.boy. It's that time of year
:41:52. > :41:54.when many of us will be starting to think about our summer holiday,
:41:55. > :41:57.but as we've been hearing this morning some British Airways staff
:41:58. > :42:00.begin a 16 day strike The airline says most of it flights
:42:01. > :42:04.will go ahead as planned, but there's bound to be concern
:42:05. > :42:07.from some passengers. Let's get some clarity now from
:42:08. > :42:21.the Independent's Travel Editor, Good morning. I have just been down
:42:22. > :42:28.to Heathrow Terminal 5 where things are fairly calm, only a couple of
:42:29. > :42:35.cancellations. Everything else I have checked is are going is normal
:42:36. > :42:52.or rather not quite as normal you may turn up and fly on a different
:42:53. > :42:57.airline? Kata airway? -- Qatar Qatar Qatar has loads of planes and pilots
:42:58. > :43:03.and cabin crew on the ground because they are not allowed to fly because
:43:04. > :43:09.of a row in the Gulf to places like Abu Dhabi and Dubai and Saudi Arabia
:43:10. > :43:14.say they have loads of planes spare. British Airways was given permission
:43:15. > :43:20.by the transport secretary to use Qatar Qatar Airways and in the next
:43:21. > :43:26.two minutes makes light out to Brussels is going to go and the
:43:27. > :43:31.lucky passengers in business class again to find that instead of
:43:32. > :43:38.sitting like this in very confined seat they have a 6-foot seven bed
:43:39. > :43:43.flat. Although it is only an hour across so they will not enjoy that
:43:44. > :43:52.is too long. No one complains about those. Why are we seeing these
:43:53. > :43:57.disputes? A brief answer but it all goes back to 2010 and the bitter
:43:58. > :44:04.British Airways cabin crew dispute. After that BA is said everyone who
:44:05. > :44:14.joined cabin crew will join out mixed fleet unit - 5500 people. They
:44:15. > :44:18.have been involved in a very long and bitter dispute over what they
:44:19. > :44:25.call poverty pay. They are employed on inferior terms and my
:44:26. > :44:30.understanding is the pay bit has been sorted out what this strike is
:44:31. > :44:36.about is sanctions that the union says were imposed on 1400 strikers
:44:37. > :44:38.are taking part in the previous 26 days of strike action. As ever,
:44:39. > :44:50.thank you very much all your wisdom. You don't need to go abroad for a
:44:51. > :44:56.holiday, stay in Britain for a useful summer. I am sure in
:44:57. > :44:59.Edinburgh, as they have just had their wettest June, they probably
:45:00. > :45:03.won't agree with that in some respects. But yes, it is glorious
:45:04. > :45:07.out there this morning in the far north-west. Lots of blue sky and
:45:08. > :45:12.sunshine at the moment. The cloud is on its way, unfortunately, so get up
:45:13. > :45:16.and off early to avoid it. Looking at Nottingham, quite a lot of cloud
:45:17. > :45:20.around at the moment which will break up and you will see some
:45:21. > :45:23.sunshine is to go through the day. So things are looking a little bit
:45:24. > :45:26.more promising. A bit of drizzle across the extreme south-east from a
:45:27. > :45:30.weak weather front. Sandwiched between the two is a good deal of
:45:31. > :45:34.dry weather through the day. This little fellow will produce the cloud
:45:35. > :45:37.and drizzle into the north-west later on but will not spoil the day.
:45:38. > :45:41.Much of eastern Scotland should cling on to the sunshine as we go
:45:42. > :45:45.through the morning and into the afternoon. Not a bad start to the
:45:46. > :45:48.day as we have seen through that Weather Watcher's picture. Not bad
:45:49. > :45:53.in Northern Ireland, predominantly dry, and we see across much of
:45:54. > :45:56.England and Wales are cloudy start this morning but the cloud should
:45:57. > :46:00.break up and you will continue to see some sunshine. So generally
:46:01. > :46:04.speaking a promising day. Temperatures will respond so as you
:46:05. > :46:08.go through the afternoon hopefully the cloud will then and break in the
:46:09. > :46:11.south-east. A real window of sunshine moving its way across much
:46:12. > :46:15.of central and eastern England. Our weak weather front producing some
:46:16. > :46:19.outbreaks of showery rain. So up into the north-west we are looking
:46:20. > :46:25.at 12 to 18 degrees. With sunshine in the eastern Scotland, 19 or
:46:26. > :46:29.possibly 20. Highest values of 23 or 24, that is the mid- 70s. It will
:46:30. > :46:33.feel quite promising. The weather front will matter is way south-east
:46:34. > :46:36.and we could see some rain just pepping up for a time down across
:46:37. > :46:40.central and southern parts of England. A bit of a watering for the
:46:41. > :46:43.garden is, that is good news through Saturday night but it could be
:46:44. > :46:46.lingering first thing on Sunday morning across the south-east
:46:47. > :46:50.corner. Maybe a different start to the day here, a scattering of
:46:51. > :46:53.showers in the north-west. A windy start in the far north of Scotland
:46:54. > :46:58.but it stays quite breezy, with showers, in the Scotland on Sunday.
:46:59. > :47:03.The rain clears away and generally speaking not a bad day. A good deal
:47:04. > :47:07.of sunny weather in the story and temperatures responding. Perhaps not
:47:08. > :47:12.quite as warm as today but nevertheless not bad at all, 13 to
:47:13. > :47:17.22 or 23 degrees, the overall higher. It is going to be a dry
:47:18. > :47:21.story this weekend, some sunny spells around and in the sunshine it
:47:22. > :47:26.will feel pleasantly warm. I will take that for the first weekend of
:47:27. > :47:31.July, wouldn't you two? Pretty nice unless you are in Edinburgh!
:47:32. > :47:34.We will be back with the headlines at 7:00am,
:47:35. > :47:59.This is salad, grown the old-fashioned way.
:48:00. > :48:01.You know, in shipping containers under LED lights without soil
:48:02. > :48:03.in an optimised water and nutrient mix.

:48:07. > :48:08.In all seriousness, it's been suggested that the type of intense
:48:09. > :48:12.farming going on here at Local Roots in Los Angeles could help solve
:48:13. > :48:18.the world's food problems in years to come.
:48:19. > :48:32.Transport costs can be produced by growing plants wherever
:48:33. > :48:36.they are needed, even in areas of famine where the land and climate
:48:37. > :48:39.You get higher volumes and many more crop cycles
:48:40. > :48:44.Lettuce can be grown in 30 days instead of up to 90 outdoors,
:48:45. > :48:46.and a new crop can be grown immediately.
:48:47. > :48:49.All in all, one of these containers yields the same as five acres
:48:50. > :48:55.It's very similar to the strawberry farm that we saw in Paris
:48:56. > :48:59.in the spring and in Miyagi in Japan in 2015 where the land had been

:49:19. > :49:27.They claim to have invented the food of the future,
:49:28. > :49:36.a completely meatless meat made entirely of plants.
:49:37. > :49:40.It's actually remarkably important to get that state of mind
:49:41. > :49:42.perspective but actually it's also useful for interpreting
:49:43. > :49:58.The aim is to reverse engineer the flavour and texture of meat
:49:59. > :50:04.And as someone who very much enjoys their meat tasting like meat,
:50:05. > :50:06.I wanted to find out how they're doing it.
:50:07. > :50:10.What is it about the flavour of meat that makes it so damn delicious?
:50:11. > :50:13.Why is it so agreeable, what is it that triggers your mind
:50:14. > :50:23.There is a lot that goes into that and it turns out that flavour
:50:24. > :50:27.is about 75 or 80% aroma and about 20 or 25% taste.
:50:28. > :50:29.Impossible Foods found that the key ingredient that gives
:50:30. > :50:31.meat its characteristic irony taste is heme,
:50:32. > :50:33.a molecule found in most living things and especially
:50:34. > :50:43.So this is your magic ingredient, right?
:50:44. > :50:48.And it provides the explosion of flavour you get that makes
:50:49. > :50:57.the difference between white meat chicken with a beefburger.
:50:58. > :50:59.The company has recently flipped the switch on its meatless
:51:00. > :51:03.meat-packing factory as it ramps up production.
:51:04. > :51:07.They will eventually make 4 million burgers a month and the next aim
:51:08. > :51:11.is to move into chicken, pork and lamb.
:51:12. > :51:14.But it's one thing being a scientist who's enthralled by food tech
:51:15. > :51:17.and another to be a chef, using the ingredients produced
:51:18. > :51:21.I think we eat way too much meat in general.
:51:22. > :51:26.So I think this is a way to be as close as possible to how meat
:51:27. > :51:31.The Impossible burger is now the only one Rocco has on his menu
:51:32. > :51:40.It seems like at this stage it might be a novelty for Silicon Valley
:51:41. > :51:43.diners with money to spend but of course, as always,
:51:44. > :52:08.It tastes like mushrooms, but I know there's no
:52:09. > :52:16.But it doesn't taste quite like meat to me.
:52:17. > :52:21.Yes, it's a little bit leaner, as a meat.
:52:22. > :52:28.But it looks like it - it's got that kind of umami flavour
:52:29. > :52:37.It tasted good as I was eating it but afterwards it left a slightly
:52:38. > :52:40.strange taste in my mouth - very strong, very irony.
:52:41. > :52:43.Still, it's healthier than meat and has zero cholesterol so maybe
:52:44. > :52:47.What comes across talking to Rocco, though, is how important
:52:48. > :52:50.it is for his customers that the flavour is close to meat
:52:51. > :52:56.But what if you could serve actual animal flesh without a single
:52:57. > :53:03.That is what several companies, including this small tech start-up
:53:04. > :53:06.in the heart of Silicon Valley are working on.
:53:07. > :53:11.They plan to grow actual fish from stem cells.
:53:12. > :53:13.It might sound like an unnerving prospect but they believe
:53:14. > :53:20.Fish consumption is demanding, fish demand is rising
:53:21. > :53:26.52% of all fisheries are fully exploited.
:53:27. > :53:28.25% above that are in collapse, they are overextended.
:53:29. > :53:32.So we only have 23% of the world's fisheries left that we can use
:53:33. > :53:37.So if we still want to eat fish at the rate that we're eating it,
:53:38. > :53:41.Finless Foods takes a small sample of cells from real fish
:53:42. > :53:46.One cell can theoretically become one tonne of fish meat but they're
:53:47. > :53:51.We'll be on the market in three years with products that
:53:52. > :53:55.are new versions of fish that people haven't had before and in 5 or 6
:53:56. > :53:59.years we'll have steaks and filets like the fish that you currently eat
:54:00. > :54:02.at the supermarket, just like what's inside of the fish that you'd
:54:03. > :54:09.And they're not the only company working on what some have
:54:10. > :54:18.Just this week Hampton Creek claimed they will hit the stores
:54:19. > :54:22.And around the corner at Memphis Meats, they have already
:54:23. > :54:24.produced fried chicken and meatballs from stem cells.
:54:25. > :54:28.But at $80,000 for a pound of beef, there's a long way to go.
:54:29. > :54:31.Scaling up will mean finding a new medium to help grow
:54:32. > :54:34.Currently, the blood of calf foetuses is used,
:54:35. > :54:38.which is extensive and of course, if you don't want to hurt
:54:39. > :54:42.With the population due to increase to 9.7 billion by 2050,
:54:43. > :54:44.many people feel current approaches to food production
:54:45. > :54:51.Cultured meat promises to reduce environmental impacts and meat looks
:54:52. > :54:57.set to be the latest thing to be given the Silicon Valley overhaul.
:54:58. > :55:00.Much like we expect from our phones, from our cars, that it will be
:55:01. > :55:06.better, cheaper, faster, safer, year by year,
:55:07. > :55:09.we should expect the same thing from our food.
:55:10. > :55:12.But once you start thinking about food, a cow, as a pure piece
:55:13. > :55:15.of technology, and you apply those same technological insights we use
:55:16. > :55:18.elsewhere in our lives, you can start really thinking
:55:19. > :55:24.about what food should be, what food could be.
:55:25. > :55:29.I think I'll stick to the salad for the moment.
:55:30. > :55:31.Which is lucky, because I'm surrounded by the stuff.
:55:32. > :55:34.The thing that really hits you inside one of these containers
:55:35. > :55:37.It's just lovely, all this concentrated fresh lettuce.
:55:38. > :55:41.And you don't even get this, I don't think, in an open-air field.
:55:42. > :55:43.Because it will float away but in here -
:55:44. > :55:51.I'm inside what is called a food computer, where every aspect
:55:52. > :55:54.of the plant's growth cycle - the temperature, nutrient mix,
:55:55. > :56:00.humidity and light is monitored and controlled.
:56:01. > :56:02.This kind of computer-controlled hydroponics is allowing food
:56:03. > :56:04.scientists to not just replicate but improve
:56:05. > :56:11.So every plant that we grow has a finely tuned growing algorithm
:56:12. > :56:14.to optimise its growth, its yield and its flavour profiles
:56:15. > :56:22.Not only does each variety get its own unique growing

:56:45. > :56:53.I've always needed a dressing on my salad because I thought it
:56:54. > :56:57.tasted quite bland without it but this is really full of flavour.
:56:58. > :57:05.I could even eat an entire bowl of this without any dressing.
:57:06. > :57:07.But some researchers don't like the idea of individual
:57:08. > :57:12.companies doing research by themselves.
:57:13. > :57:15.Putting life in a box is incredibly complex.
:57:16. > :57:18.It requires biology as much as chemistry, as much as plant
:57:19. > :57:26.And so right now it's being tackled by a lot of start-ups and it's hard
:57:27. > :57:28.for those start-ups to have such a multidisciplinary approach.
:57:29. > :57:31.This is why all of our work is open sourced -
:57:32. > :57:34.the hardware, software - so we can get people thinking
:57:35. > :57:38.on the issues and we can ask them for advice.

:57:55. > :57:57.What we've done is distributed all the plants, all the materials,
:57:58. > :58:05.We now have a community of over 40 countries,
:58:06. > :58:08.The great thing is that their experiences are being

:14:30. > :14:39.importance of the family and the wider world. The two princes have
:14:40. > :14:45.been open about the effect that her death had on the two of them while
:14:46. > :14:50.growing up? We have seen them open up over the past few months. William
:14:51. > :14:57.talking about how role the grief was and how difficult it was to grieve
:14:58. > :15:04.in public. And Prince Harry talking openly about how he suffered, how he
:15:05. > :15:09.could not come to terms until later in his 20s because he could not cope
:15:10. > :15:16.with it, the grief and pain, thinking about how young they were.
:15:17. > :15:23.Harry was just 12. A few weeks ago, Harry was saying that he felt being

:15:35. > :15:37.that and we know that he walked to support. Harry was saying no child
:15:38. > :15:49.should be asked to do this. 20 years this year since she died,
:15:50. > :15:55.we are seeing pictures of her cough and being taken to the funeral to be
:15:56. > :15:59.laid at rest. You are a historian. Do we begin to get a sense of how
:16:00. > :16:05.Diana will be remembered in history? Of the role she has played, even in
:16:06. > :16:09.death, in shaping the future of the Royal Family? I think Diana is one
:16:10. > :16:13.of the most significant women and the most significant people of the
:16:14. > :16:18.20th century. Her impact in terms of charity, in revolutionising the
:16:19. > :16:24.Royal Family, in being so much more open with people, hugging AIDS
:16:25. > :16:28.victims and cancer victims, being engaged with the public, that
:16:29. > :16:33.revolutionised the Royal Family and we have seen William and Harry
:16:34. > :16:38.continuing that but also her death had the hugest constitutional impact
:16:39. > :16:41.on the country, on the Queen, on the Royal Family, and it really forced
:16:42. > :16:45.the Royal Family to make a great change in terms of the way that they
:16:46. > :16:48.treated people who married into them, and the way they overall
:16:49. > :16:51.treated the press and the public and their engagement with people.
:16:52. > :16:55.Because the thing was, Diana was instantly adored when she married
:16:56. > :17:00.since Charles, she was instantly loved and she was like a movie star
:17:01. > :17:04.to the people. When she went on walkabouts with Charles, it was
:17:05. > :17:08.Diana that people wanted to see. That was a real shock to the Royal
:17:09. > :17:12.Family. They had to recognise that things have to change and they had
:17:13. > :17:15.to transform in terms of their recognition of what the people
:17:16. > :17:21.wanted from them. That was engaging close to them, talking to them, and
:17:22. > :17:26.as William and Harry have done, engaging in these Cinderella causes,
:17:27. > :17:30.that is continuing what Diana did, not the easy causes but the things
:17:31. > :17:39.which are most difficult. You mentioned Prince Charles and his
:17:40. > :17:42.second wife, Camilla, are both observing the anniversary of modern
:17:43. > :17:47.Canada. Does that remove a potential awkwardness today in terms of this
:17:48. > :17:52.rededication of Diana's grave? That might have been a private and
:17:53. > :17:56.difficult moment. Well, yes, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall
:17:57. > :18:01.are in Canada at present, so they are away from the service and that
:18:02. > :18:06.service will be the Spencers, the Earl and his wife, and their
:18:07. > :18:11.daughter, and also Prince William and Prince Harry, conducted by the
:18:12. > :18:16.Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, so Prince Charles will not be
:18:17. > :18:21.there, he will be overseas. I am sure Prince Charles has her in his
:18:22. > :18:22.thoughts and is thinking about her. Thank you very much indeed for

:18:42. > :18:47.for the government to take control of the council responsible for the
:18:48. > :18:49.Grenfell tower collapse. One
:18:50. > :18:51.doctor has been killed and six other people have been injured
:18:52. > :18:54.after a former employee opened fire with an assault rifle
:18:55. > :18:56.at a New York hospital. Here is Louise with a look
:18:57. > :19:04.at this morning's weather. I always love the fact is we learn,
:19:05. > :19:09.that Edinburgh had its worst June in terms of rainfall. In fact, they
:19:10. > :19:13.started off with just shy of 60 millimetres in the first three or
:19:14. > :19:17.four days of June so with the rain we have had this weekend it was
:19:18. > :19:20.pretty miserable. It was horrible, but we have some sunshine in
:19:21. > :19:24.Scotland and parts of eastern Scotland will see a decent day. Just
:19:25. > :19:29.look at Argyll Bute at the moment. Make the most of it. The cloud is on
:19:30. > :19:53.its way, a different story in the far south-east. Really threatening
:19:54. > :19:57.looking cloud here but it is heading away from Kent now. Still a little
:19:58. > :20:01.bit drizzly and you will get some sunshine later in the afternoon. One
:20:02. > :20:04.of the reasons for this is a weather front which has been pushing its way
:20:05. > :20:08.across the near continent through the night. Behind it a brief ridge,
:20:09. > :20:11.quite mean things down, but this little fella will bring more cloud
:20:12. > :20:15.and rain into the far north-west. So a little bit cloudy and drizzly by
:20:16. > :20:18.the middle of the afternoon. The winds starting to strengthen but a
:20:19. > :20:22.good slice of sunshine after a cloudy start. And improving picture
:20:23. > :20:25.for many of us as we head into the afternoon. Looking at the afternoon
:20:26. > :20:28.in more detail, eastern Scotland perhaps faring best. Parts of
:20:29. > :20:30.Aberdeenshire might see 18 or 19 degrees and Edinburgh will see
:20:31. > :20:33.decent spells of sunshine, outbreaks of drizzly rain around as well. A
:20:34. > :20:36.similar story into Northern Ireland, perhaps fringing into the Lake
:20:37. > :20:39.District into the afternoon but heading further inland there will be
:20:40. > :20:44.some sunshine coming through. We could see highs of 23 or 24 in the
:20:45. > :20:47.south-east if we are lucky and it will feel quite warm with the
:20:48. > :20:50.sunshine. The rain is on its way through the evening across the
:20:51. > :20:53.Midlands and down into the south-east corner of. Some heavy
:20:54. > :20:56.bursts as well from time to time through the night from this weak
:20:57. > :20:59.front. That is good news for gardeners and growers. Some rain to
:21:00. > :21:02.encounter first thing across the south-east corner. Windy in the far
:21:03. > :21:06.north with some sharp showers developing through the latter stages
:21:07. > :21:09.of the night. A wind is quite a feature across the Northern Isles.
:21:10. > :21:12.Blustery, breezy, showery day into the far north-west but once that
:21:13. > :21:15.cloud clears away we will see some sunshine coming through and
:21:16. > :21:18.relatively dry and promising, highs likely of 13 to 23 degrees on
:21:19. > :21:22.Sunday. For those of you who have not realised, it is the start of
:21:23. > :21:25.Wimbledon into Monday, and there is the potential for this little fella
:21:26. > :21:29.to bring some showers. We are keeping our fingers crossed they
:21:30. > :21:33.stay away and do not interrupt play for the start of the Wimbledon
:21:34. > :21:35.championships. I am sure that is what the players will be keeping
:21:36. > :21:36.their fingers crossed for as well. Canada is celebrating 150 years
:21:37. > :21:39.since the British and French bonded It is a little-known fact,
:21:40. > :21:43.but the declaration of independence was drafted at Highclere Castle,
:21:44. > :21:46.the real Downton Abbey, back in 1867, because the fourth
:21:47. > :21:49.earl of Canarvon was friends Ben Moore got exclusive access
:21:50. > :22:15.to the library there. The libraries of England's grand
:22:16. > :22:22.houses harbour many secrets. But amongst the 8000 books at Highclere,
:22:23. > :22:29.better known to viewers as Downton Abbey, was a corker. This was the
:22:30. > :22:34.birthplace of the nation. At the bottom of this page are three names,
:22:35. > :22:42.which I didn't really know. John McDonald, GE Cartier and bolt. So
:22:43. > :22:47.did a bit of research and within one second realised what I was about to
:22:48. > :22:50.find. John McDonald became the first prime Minister of Canada and lead
:22:51. > :22:54.this delegation posted by the fourth pearl paint over the year they
:22:55. > :22:57.drafted the British North America act. Actually quite a bit of the
:22:58. > :23:01.Constitution was written here in this library. Perhaps they discussed
:23:02. > :23:05.at around this dining room table, perhaps they stood by the saloon
:23:06. > :23:10.fire on a cold, wintry day. And I feel so lucky. I discovered it all
:23:11. > :23:13.by chance. With the government now modelled on the British Parliament,
:23:14. > :23:28.modern Canada was born on the first of July 18 67. I certainly was not
:23:29. > :23:31.aware of it, and I don't think enough Canadians were aware. The
:23:32. > :23:34.setting is hugely important, but it is also the important role of the
:23:35. > :23:38.people. I look forward to actually having the chance to make sure that
:23:39. > :23:40.it gets better known. Diaries, telegrams and letters have been
:23:41. > :23:43.uncovered, adding real colour to these negotiations. UK-based
:23:44. > :23:46.Canadians invited to the castle were certainly moved. Don't stop! Why is
:23:47. > :23:50.it so emotional? Well, this is coming home. This is... England is
:23:51. > :23:56.home to me, even though we have lived in Canada 40 years. It wasn't
:23:57. > :24:00.just the Constitution of Canada that was drafted in this library. The
:24:01. > :24:04.name of this new territory was decided as well, although there were
:24:05. > :24:14.other suggestions. Franklin was one, quickly followed by Guefeleland,
:24:15. > :24:20.before Lord, than had his way and Canada was chosen -- Lord Canarvon.
:24:21. > :24:23.Had left a legacy for both countries.
:24:24. > :24:27.It is a slice of British street life as familiar as black taxis or red
:24:28. > :24:30.post boxes - the group of smokers huddled outside a pub.
:24:31. > :24:32.In fact, the smoking ban inside licensed premises
:24:33. > :24:35.was introduced in England just ten years ago today,
:24:36. > :24:37.and only slightly longer in the rest of the UK.
:24:38. > :24:40.In a moment, we will speak to the chief executive
:24:41. > :24:43.of Cancer Research about the legacy of the ban.
:24:44. > :25:05.Before that, we asked shoppers in Salford for their views.
:25:06. > :25:12.The pubs were really smoky, and used to go in and use to end up with sore
:25:13. > :25:15.eyes. I don't miss that. Putting restrictions on people doesn't
:25:16. > :25:19.necessarily change things, it just makes it more difficult, that's all.
:25:20. > :25:23.People will still find a way to do it, so no, I do beginners change
:25:24. > :25:27.anything, really. On aeroplanes it has been an absolute Lessing. Use a
:25:28. > :25:31.shudder if you are the row ahead of the smoking area. Everything feels
:25:32. > :25:35.cleaner, everything feels pressure, and having quit smoking as well,
:25:36. > :25:41.that was huge for me not be able to go out and be surrounded by the
:25:42. > :25:45.smell of smoke all the time. I stood out in the cold weather just to have
:25:46. > :25:47.a cigarette. So I don't go out so much now. If I want a cigarette, I
:25:48. > :25:50.have one in the house. Let's talk now to Sir Harpal Kumar
:25:51. > :25:58.from Cancer Research UK. Thank you very much for joining us
:25:59. > :26:03.this morning. Do you think the smoking ban has... Or how much of an
:26:04. > :26:06.impact do you think the smoking ban has had, in correlation to the
:26:07. > :26:10.number of people who are no longer smoking, or taking up smoking? Well,
:26:11. > :26:15.we have just published new estimate this morning which are that roughly
:26:16. > :26:18.speaking just under 2 million people, 1.9 million people, have
:26:19. > :26:23.given up smoking in the ten years since the band, which is a
:26:24. > :26:28.considerable proportion, actually. It's about 20% of all smokers since
:26:29. > :26:33.that time -- ban. And smoking rates now are at their lowest level ever
:26:34. > :26:37.recorded. And what is particularly encouraging is the way that
:26:38. > :26:42.attitudes have changed over time, so that Italy among young people, the
:26:43. > :26:47.16 to 24-year-old group, -- particularly among young people. We
:26:48. > :26:50.are now seeing the lowest growth recorded, and that promises huge
:26:51. > :26:55.gains, huge health gains in the years ahead. So we think it is very
:26:56. > :26:59.positive, and the ban has had a profound affect. What tangible
:27:00. > :27:04.health gains can be measured from this? Well, so we know for example
:27:05. > :27:08.that smoking causes 14 different types of cancer. Of course, most
:27:09. > :27:12.people tend to think of lung cancer as the predominant impact of
:27:13. > :27:15.smoking, what we know it also results in heart disease, and a
:27:16. > :27:20.whole range of other health conditions. Now, what we also know
:27:21. > :27:25.is that some of those effects happen relatively quickly. Heart disease
:27:26. > :27:29.most particularly, and breathing problems. In terms of cancer, we
:27:30. > :27:34.tend to see the effect up to 20 years after smoking rates change,
:27:35. > :27:39.and so the real gains that we will see an cancer rates are still to be
:27:40. > :27:46.seen in the years ahead. And of course, this is and remains the
:27:47. > :27:51.biggest single cause of all cancers. Indeed, it is responsible for more
:27:52. > :27:56.than a quarter of all cancer deaths, and indeed, just under a fifth of
:27:57. > :28:00.all deaths from all causes. So this is profoundly important for society.
:28:01. > :28:07.People still smoke, even though we hear the warnings, we hear about the
:28:08. > :28:14.impact it can have on our health, you think there will ever be a time
:28:15. > :28:18.when it is just not done? Well, we would hope so. And one of the things
:28:19. > :28:25.that we also think is incredibly important, in celebrating the
:28:26. > :28:31.success of this smoking ban is to recognise how much further we have
:28:32. > :28:37.to go. We still have about 8 million adult smokers in the UK, roughly 16%
:28:38. > :28:41.of the population, and we need continued action. We need continued
:28:42. > :28:45.pressure, continued government action, to see those smoking rates
:28:46. > :28:48.continue to come down over time. And one of the things that we are
:28:49. > :28:52.particularly calling for is for government to publish a new tobacco
:28:53. > :28:56.control plan. We haven't had one now in England for well over a year, and
:28:57. > :29:00.it is the first time for some considerable period that we haven't
:29:01. > :29:05.had dedicated activity to focus on future reductions in smoking rates.
:29:06. > :29:10.We do need to continue to work at it, because smoking rates don't come
:29:11. > :29:13.down on the road. But yes, in answer to your question, we do project
:29:14. > :29:18.forward and think that it is possible to imagine a time when
:29:19. > :29:24.effectively we are smoke free, by which we mean fewer than 5% of the
:29:25. > :29:29.population smokes. Thank you very much for joining us this morning. We
:29:30. > :29:36.were talking about facts earlier. One of the earlier smoking bans,
:29:37. > :29:40.guess where it was. It was in 1575, one of the earliest smoking bans. It
:29:41. > :29:46.was a Roman Catholic Church regulation which forbade the use of
:29:47. > :29:51.tobacco in any church in Mexico. Plenty of incense, I suspect. We are
:29:52. > :29:57.talking about lots of anniversaries today, the anniversary of the
:29:58. > :30:04.smoking ban, of modern Canada, and another one today...
:30:05. > :30:07.If you are one of our younger viewers, do not adjust your sets.
:30:08. > :30:11.This really is what TV used to look like until this day 50 years ago.
:30:12. > :30:15.We will be looking back at five decades of colour TV later
:30:16. > :30:21.Snooker in black and white would have been slightly limited. Tell us
:30:22. > :30:26.what is the best thing you have ever seen in colour television. Or maybe
:30:27. > :30:30.you still have a black-and-white TV. Apparently there are a couple of
:30:31. > :30:34.thousand people who still claim a black-and-white TV licence.

:31:28. > :31:30.the running of the authority, which he says is not
:31:31. > :31:36.fit for purpose. A doctor has been shot dead and six
:31:37. > :31:39.others were seriously injured, after a man opened fire
:31:40. > :31:42.inside a hospital in New York. Dr Henry Bello, who used
:31:43. > :31:45.to work at the hospital, concealed an assault rifle under
:31:46. > :31:47.a white doctor's coat, shooting at those who were working,
:31:48. > :31:50.and then killing himself. The Mayor of New York said

:41:21. > :41:22.In the direct aftermath of the disaster,
:41:23. > :41:25.many residents voiced their anger at the lack of information
:41:26. > :41:29.and support offered by the council and government.
:41:30. > :41:36.her organisation has been helping those affected.
:41:37. > :41:48.Good morning. A couple of weeks ago now that it happened but in terms of
:41:49. > :41:53.helping people, how much need is there and what cases are you dealing
:41:54. > :42:00.with? There is a massive, massive need. I lost my partner a couple of
:42:01. > :42:06.years ago and I had sporadic, quite inadequate bereavement support, and
:42:07. > :42:12.that seems to be the case in the UK. It is a lottery. As far as Grenfell
:42:13. > :42:17.Tower is, I was compelled to get down there on the Sunday after it
:42:18. > :42:25.happened on the Wednesday. I met the Red Cross and it was pretty chaotic.
:42:26. > :42:31.Since then I was called by one of the residents. I had a word with one
:42:32. > :42:38.of the schools and I realised there was a massive lack of support. I
:42:39. > :42:43.started to speak to residents and survivors after a week and they had
:42:44. > :42:49.not been offered anything. They were in their pockets but no one was
:42:50. > :42:56.going in to offer help. What help should be on offer? We're not
:42:57. > :43:05.talking about the practical side of these, like housing... That has been
:43:06. > :43:13.dealt with. The good grief trust, the name, good grief... Positive. It
:43:14. > :43:19.is never again to be good, clearly, but their reason better way to do it
:43:20. > :43:23.and by bringing people together, under the one roof, this is an
:43:24. > :43:31.umbrella charities that it brings all the groups together, you click a
:43:32. > :43:38.button and they come out altogether. How do they know what they need? It
:43:39. > :43:42.is early on but let me read something to you, a piece of
:43:43. > :43:47.research to do with psychologically supporting children. Adults
:43:48. > :43:53.recalling experiences of losing a parent is a child, report being
:43:54. > :43:58.ignored, isolation and believe what would have helped was an
:43:59. > :44:05.acknowledgement of their lost and a kind word. Go and find them... I
:44:06. > :44:13.spoke to a survivor yesterday, she was in one of the hotels, nobody had
:44:14. > :44:20.come to see her. You have hundreds and hundreds of people which may not
:44:21. > :44:25.be directly grieving but are certainly traumatised and this will
:44:26. > :44:31.be going on the years. I spoke to one of the charities, some
:44:32. > :44:36.specialised in helping children and parents, and they have would a
:44:37. > :44:42.strategy in place now and it will be ongoing. What sort of strategy? They
:44:43. > :44:47.will speak to the parents, the children and the staff in the school
:44:48. > :44:52.and in the wider community so hopefully they can support people in
:44:53. > :44:59.the schools and communities directly. During the summer
:45:00. > :45:03.holidays, they will be supporting people in the community. We are
:45:04. > :45:09.going down to put together projects so people can share their stories.
:45:10. > :45:16.Thank you for the work you do. We focus on much on the practicalities,
:45:17. > :45:21.accommodation and food... We put together a health card. At the
:45:22. > :45:28.moment they only have limited resources... Thank you very much.
:45:29. > :45:33.Here is Louise with a look at this morning's weather.
:45:34. > :45:40.Good morning, you were talking to me earlier about how you like my
:45:41. > :45:44.statistics. I have had a couple of coffees and found the proper
:45:45. > :45:47.statistics. It was one of the wettest June is on record and you
:45:48. > :45:51.can see the dark blue denoting rainfall which is more than average,
:45:52. > :45:54.and you can see that certainly eastern parts and southern parts of
:45:55. > :46:03.Scotland had some pretty intense rainfall. But we also had some heat,
:46:04. > :46:06.not too bad across the south-east in particular. You will remember the
:46:07. > :46:11.extreme heat we had in the middle of the month. Will we get at this
:46:12. > :46:15.weekend? Not really, it is the beginning of July. A lot of dry
:46:16. > :46:20.weather around, some sunny spells as well, and if you get the sunshine
:46:21. > :46:24.for any length of time, it is going to be warm. Taking a look at exactly
:46:25. > :46:32.what has been happening through the night, this little fella has brought
:46:33. > :46:37.some cloud and drizzle. A brief lull, and then outbreaks of drizzly
:46:38. > :46:41.rain as we move through the day. Sandwiched between the two we should
:46:42. > :46:45.see cloud breaking up so if it is rather dull where you live,
:46:46. > :46:49.hopefully an improving picture. By the end of the afternoon, this
:46:50. > :46:52.weather front bringing outbreaks of rain, mostly light and patchy across
:46:53. > :46:57.Scotland and the winds starting to strengthen. If you cling to the
:46:58. > :47:02.sunshine you will see some warmth as well, highs of 18 or 19 degrees. A
:47:03. > :47:05.similar story for Northern Ireland, north-west England and Wales but
:47:06. > :47:09.anywhere through central and south-eastern areas we will see the
:47:10. > :47:14.cloud breaking up. With sunshine coming through it should feel quite
:47:15. > :47:19.pleasant. Generally 19 to 22, we might see 23 degrees if we're lucky
:47:20. > :47:23.in south-east corner. This weather front will pick up a little bit as
:47:24. > :47:27.it moves across Wales into the Midlands, ringing heavy bursts of
:47:28. > :47:31.rain, and it will still be sitting potentially across the south-east
:47:32. > :47:37.first thing tomorrow morning. So it could be dull, damp start the
:47:38. > :47:41.south-east. A good excuse for a sleep in on Sunday morning, squally
:47:42. > :47:44.showers continuing and those showers will stay with us for Scotland
:47:45. > :47:52.tomorrow. Elsewhere some decent, sunny spells. Louise, I love your
:47:53. > :47:58.facts. You a bit of a geek, like me? Of course I am?
:47:59. > :48:05.Now on BBC News it is time for Newswatch, with Samira Ahmed.
:48:06. > :48:10.Hello, and welcome to Newswatch, with me, Samira Ahmed.
:48:11. > :48:13.Coming up: Emily Maitlis clashes with Andrea Leadsom on Newsnight.
:48:14. > :48:16.Is she and other BBC presenters guilty of being too negative,
:48:17. > :48:23.And is this Government Minister being given too hard a time on BBC
:48:24. > :48:34.As the aftermath of the West London fire continues to dominate the news
:48:35. > :48:37.agenda, it has been a tough week for Housing Minister Alok Sharma.
:48:38. > :48:40.On Wednesday he was faced on the Victoria Derbyshire show
:48:41. > :48:46.with an emotional group of residents of the Grenfell Tower.
:48:47. > :48:52.If you don't give me a permanent accommodation,
:48:53. > :49:04.I'm not just going to take anything else you give me.
:49:05. > :49:08.if you give me a house I don't want, I am not going to take it.
:49:09. > :49:13.I work hard, I work hard, I had a good house.
:49:14. > :49:20.Right, you know what, we will come to you,
:49:21. > :49:21.Sid, I promise. I promise.
:49:22. > :49:29.Some viewers told me they felt Victoria Derbyshire lost control
:49:30. > :49:55.of the conversation, with Michael Bailey e-mailing...
:49:56. > :49:59.Well, we mentioned last week another BBC item about the Grenfell Tower
:50:00. > :50:06.fire, which had incurred the wrath of some viewers.
:50:07. > :50:09.An interview with the Prime Minister conducted by a Emily Maitlis.
:50:10. > :50:12.The Newsnight presenter has done a number of attention-grabbing
:50:13. > :50:16.interviews recently, and last Friday she was involved
:50:17. > :50:19.in another spiky encounter, this time with the Leader
:50:20. > :50:24.It was a year to the day since the vote for Britain to leave
:50:25. > :50:26.the European Union, and the preparations for Brexit
:50:27. > :50:32.You've got a negotiating position which is completely unclear.
:50:33. > :50:34.You're hearing that from the President of the EU
:50:35. > :50:37.You've got a political system which is unstable.
:50:38. > :50:44.What can you point to now and say, that's going well?
:50:45. > :50:50.European politicians are actually very keen that we keep a strong
:50:51. > :50:53.relationship going forward, and that's what we're going to do.
:50:54. > :50:56.And it is actually the elected politicians who are the important
:50:57. > :51:01.You haven't even got a deal with the DUP on the table.
:51:02. > :51:04.They're laughing at us, and saying they can walk all over
:51:05. > :51:12.Well, that's blatantly not true, is it?
:51:13. > :51:14.Angela Merkel said it was an interesting start.
:51:15. > :51:17.We had Mark Rutter saying he was quite positive
:51:18. > :51:20.We had various different EU politicians, the elected
:51:21. > :51:25.politicians, saying it's a good start.
:51:26. > :51:28.Of course, it's very early days, but it would be helpful...
:51:29. > :51:30.It's been a year, it's been a year...
:51:31. > :51:34.It would be helpful if broadcasters were willing to be a bit patriotic.
:51:35. > :51:38.This Government is determined to deliver on that decision.
:51:39. > :51:41.Are you accusing me of being unpatriotic for questioning how
:51:42. > :51:44.negotiations are going, questioning whether you have the position
:51:45. > :51:46.of strength that she said she wanted?
:51:47. > :51:47.Andrea Leadsom denied calling Emily Maitlis unpatriotic,
:51:48. > :51:51.but some viewers thought the general point being made by the former
:51:52. > :51:53.Conservative leadership candidate was a fair one.
:51:54. > :52:36.Another viewer, Tony Wright, recorded this video for us,
:52:37. > :52:42.Please, BBC, can you rein in Emily Maitlis?
:52:43. > :52:45.She should be taught how to hold a civil conversation.
:52:46. > :52:48.Most of her hapless subjects are subject to a barrage
:52:49. > :52:50.of contentious, inflammatory, aggressive, and often insulting
:52:51. > :52:57.I have no great love of politicians, but I have to commend them
:52:58. > :53:00.for holding their temper during a typical Maitlis interview.
:53:01. > :53:03.She interrupts so much that the people are never allowed
:53:04. > :53:14.And that, for us, the viewers, doesn't allow us to make a judgement
:53:15. > :53:16.of what they're actually trying to say.
:53:17. > :53:18.The interview is therefore pointless.
:53:19. > :53:23.Well, with me right now is Ian Katz, the editor of Newsnight.
:53:24. > :53:28.The reference that Andrea Leadsom made to patriotism has been much
:53:29. > :53:31.mocked, but some viewers say she really did have a point
:53:32. > :53:35.about the focus of Brexit coverage being relentlessly negative.
:53:36. > :53:38.The first thing I should say is that I thought
:53:39. > :53:40.it was an excellent accountability interview.
:53:41. > :53:44.I think - I'm sure there are some viewers out there who will agree
:53:45. > :53:49.I think the vast majority of people who saw it will think that calling
:53:50. > :53:51.an interviewer unpatriotic when they ask some awkward questions
:53:52. > :53:53.is sort of somewhere - somewhere between hilarious
:53:54. > :54:01.It's the sort of thing that happens in Moscow and Beijing,
:54:02. > :54:04.but not really in a place with a free media.
:54:05. > :54:11.Well, there is an interpretation issue there, because of course
:54:12. > :54:14.Andrea Leadsom went on to say in that interview that she wasn't
:54:15. > :54:17.I don't think it's really open to interpretation.
:54:18. > :54:20.You only have to watch it to be pretty clear,
:54:21. > :54:22.and the viewers that you have just reported the complaints
:54:23. > :54:26.of were actually making the point that it was fair to call
:54:27. > :54:29.Newsnight is very good at turning around this kind of interview
:54:30. > :54:33.as a social media clip, to go viral, which is exactly what happened.
:54:34. > :54:36.But watching it back, on the whole, the whole of it,
:54:37. > :54:39.do you not see how many viewers felt it was heavy-handed?
:54:40. > :54:42.Well, I think if you're making a point about partial extracts
:54:43. > :54:45.from an interview, and how some of those can gain circulation
:54:46. > :54:48.outside the context of an interview, I think that's a really interesting
:54:49. > :54:53.And that's one that we really need to think quite a lot about,
:54:54. > :54:55.because sometimes you'll have a sort of minute-long fragment
:54:56. > :54:58.from an interview which gets seen by huge numbers of people,
:54:59. > :55:00.outside the context of the broader interview.
:55:01. > :55:08.But I think that, you know, this was a classic accountability
:55:09. > :55:10.interview on a really contentious issue.
:55:11. > :55:13.I mean, this is about the future shape, relationship,
:55:14. > :55:16.of the country with the continent we're in, and it's absolutely right
:55:17. > :55:18.that Emily conducted a really tough, hard-hitting accountability
:55:19. > :55:23.We all understand that politicians can go on too much,
:55:24. > :55:26.they can need to be brought back to answer the question.
:55:27. > :55:28.But there was a lot of interrupting here.
:55:29. > :55:32.We heard that one viewer there at the end say it's really
:55:33. > :55:34.frustrating not getting to hear Andrea Leadsom finish her answers.
:55:35. > :55:37.Well, you know better than anyone, interrupting is a really sort
:55:38. > :55:42.I've got quite a lot of sympathy with viewers who feel that we're
:55:43. > :55:49.I mean, we owe subjects the sort of fairness of allowing them to set
:55:50. > :55:54.Set against that, there are, I won't name any names,
:55:55. > :55:57.lots of interviewees who essentially come into an interview with the aim
:55:58. > :56:02.of sort of filibustering their way through it, and just sticking to two
:56:03. > :56:10.Well, this was a very interesting case, the Andrea Leadsom case.
:56:11. > :56:12.It was supposed to be a 15-minute interview.
:56:13. > :56:15.For reasons to do with when Andrea was able to start it,
:56:16. > :56:17.it ended up being a much shorter one.
:56:18. > :56:20.It was more like seven or eight minutes, and it was
:56:21. > :56:24.And in those situations, the interviewer is under a lot more
:56:25. > :56:27.pressure to stop, to keep the interview moving along,
:56:28. > :56:29.and to address all the questions they're trying to address
:56:30. > :56:35.Last week we featured complaints about another interview Emily did,
:56:36. > :56:38.with the Prime Minister, about the Grenfell Tower fire.
:56:39. > :56:42.We have yet to find out what the cause of the fire was.
:56:43. > :56:45.The fire brigade, the fire service, are doing that.
:56:46. > :56:49.You could have stopped it spreading by spending ?2 more on the cladding.
:56:50. > :56:52.The fire service are looking at what the cause of the fire was.
:56:53. > :56:55.And it's important that we get to the bottom of this,
:56:56. > :56:57.that we find out exactly what happened.
:56:58. > :56:59.But you were recommended this in 2013.
:57:00. > :57:03.You were in Government there, and the coroner said you can stop
:57:04. > :57:05.this with a sprinkler system in every block.
:57:06. > :57:08.The criticism there is she seemed to be putting personal blame
:57:09. > :57:12.The use of the word "you," particularly in relation
:57:13. > :57:14.to who bought the cladding, and that just wasn't fair.
:57:15. > :57:20.Well, the figure of speech Emily was using was,
:57:21. > :57:22."you could do this," as in, "one could do this."
:57:23. > :57:25.She was saying one could have bought a more expensive cladding.
:57:26. > :57:27.She said, "you could have spent ?2 more."
:57:28. > :57:30.Yes, in the same way you say, you can get up...
:57:31. > :57:37.I think what viewers were saying is some of that focused anger
:57:38. > :57:39.perhaps should be directed at the right people,
:57:40. > :57:46.The Prime Minister is also the leader of the Conservative
:57:47. > :57:57.It is entirely reasonable to say there is a set of responsibilities
:57:58. > :57:59.that lie with national government, with local government.
:58:00. > :58:02.You are the leader of the party that runs the council.
:58:03. > :58:04.It was absolutely appropriate to hold her to account.
:58:05. > :58:08.I think, in that particular case, I don't think what Emily Maguire
:58:09. > :58:10.means is you personally chose the cladding.
:58:11. > :58:13.I think what she was saying is, one could have held different
:58:14. > :58:19.And what you think she said is not what viewers felt they got
:58:20. > :58:22.Well, clearly - you're right that clearly some viewers
:58:23. > :58:25.I don't think the majority of viewers would have
:58:26. > :58:30.Tone is also very important, and a lot of viewers said it came
:58:31. > :58:34.Isn't it a BBC journalist's job to remain very calm and measured?
:58:35. > :58:38.I think that's a good question, and I think it often is,
:58:39. > :58:41.But I think one of the responsibilities of an interviewer
:58:42. > :58:44.to is channel the questions that the viewers would want asked
:58:45. > :58:49.And I think that, on that Friday, Emily brilliantly channelled the -
:58:50. > :58:51.the questions, the mood, to some extent, of a lot
:58:52. > :58:54.of the country, around the handling of the aftermath of that disaster.
:58:55. > :58:56.Nothing you would do differently, looking back?
:58:57. > :58:59.I think they were two really exemplary interviews.
:59:00. > :59:03.Finally, there was plenty of coverage across the BBC last
:59:04. > :59:06.weekend of the Glastonbury Festival, and it even made it onto BBC News,

:02:20. > :02:23.is facing more criticism over its handling of
:02:24. > :02:28.the Grenfell Tower fire. The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan,
:02:29. > :02:31.is calling for commissioners to be brought in to take over the running

:03:00. > :03:07.is to ensure that the strengths would also characterise this place,
:03:08. > :03:13.and North Kensington, in particular, are seen to play their part
:03:14. > :03:16.in bringing the community together. But the Mayor of London says this
:03:17. > :03:19.cannot happen with a change of leadership from among
:03:20. > :03:24.the existing councillors. Sadiq Khan says the fire
:03:25. > :03:26.has shown the authority What he called "untainted
:03:27. > :03:29.commissioners", government-appointed experts must be brought
:03:30. > :03:30.in immediately. He has the backing of one community
:03:31. > :03:33.campaigner who says residents have Trust in the whole of the Cabinet
:03:34. > :03:38.has just gone, confidence They weren't confident in them years
:03:39. > :03:50.ago, while they were complaining and trying to raise these issues,
:03:51. > :03:52.and the aftermath has been disastrous, as we can all see,
:03:53. > :03:56.and new people do need to be put in place that people
:03:57. > :03:58.can be confident in. But one Conservative memeber
:03:59. > :04:00.of the London Assembly called The Communities Secretary,
:04:01. > :04:08.Sajid Javid, said it was right the leader had stepped
:04:09. > :04:11.aside and the government remained all necessary support to people
:04:12. > :04:18.affected by the tragedy. How likely is it the Government will
:04:19. > :04:22.send in commissioners to take over the council? Let's speak to our
:04:23. > :04:26.correspondent Simon Jones outside Kensing ston town hall this morning.
:04:27. > :04:32.That place has been the focus of a lot of unrest and protest, hasn't
:04:33. > :04:37.it, over the last ten days or so? Yes, this is where angry residents
:04:38. > :04:41.gathered a couple of weeks ago. They actually ran up the stairs behind me
:04:42. > :04:45.and some of them got into the council building. They had said they
:04:46. > :04:48.hadn't been listened to before the fire when they raised safety
:04:49. > :04:53.concerns and they felt after the fire they had been abandoned by the
:04:54. > :04:57.council and that anger remains to this day. But for the Government to
:04:58. > :05:01.send in commissioners to take over a council is a big deal because
:05:02. > :05:06.effectively they're removing councillors who have been voted for
:05:07. > :05:09.by the public. But they do have form for doing this. It happened in
:05:10. > :05:14.Rotherham where commissioners were sent in because it was considered
:05:15. > :05:16.the council wasn't dealing sufficiently well with child sexual
:05:17. > :05:20.exploitation in the town. It also happened here in London in Tower
:05:21. > :05:25.Hamlets where the council was accused of running a culture of
:05:26. > :05:29.cronyism. We vice-president had any formal response from the Prime
:05:30. > :05:33.Minister to that letter written to her by the mayor. But whoever takes
:05:34. > :05:38.over, be it commissioners or councillors, they have a huge task
:05:39. > :05:41.to rebuild trust with the public who feel so badly let down.
:05:42. > :05:44.Thank you very much. A doctor has been shot dead and six

:06:18. > :06:20.on the 16th and 17th floors of the hospital,
:06:21. > :06:25.which struck many doctors on duty. I want to say at the outset,
:06:26. > :06:28.thank God this was not It appears to be a workplace related
:06:29. > :06:40.matter but that makes it no less Immediately, emergency services
:06:41. > :06:43.responded and locked Responding officers went floor
:06:44. > :06:49.to floor looking for the shooter, They were told he was on the 17th
:06:50. > :06:55.floor and, once there, they found him dead
:06:56. > :06:58.from a self-inflicted gun wound. One female doctor was found dead
:06:59. > :07:06.and six others are injured. Five are in serious condition,

:07:09. > :07:09.unanswered questions, including how a man was able

:11:37. > :11:40.than the tyres of the coach Now his mum, Frances Molloy,
:11:41. > :11:43.has launched a campaign to ban the use of tyres more than ten years
:11:44. > :11:53.old on coaches, buses and minibuses. Good morning. Good morning. Thank
:11:54. > :11:57.you for coming in to talk to us. We will get to what you are campaigning
:11:58. > :12:02.for in a moment. Tell us what happened to your son. Michael was
:12:03. > :12:07.travelling back from a music Festival on the Isle of Wight. On
:12:08. > :12:13.the way back in Surrey the coach crashed into a tree and killed him
:12:14. > :12:16.instantly. We found out that the cause of that was a
:12:17. > :12:22.19-and-a-half-year-old tyre. Which had blown? Which had blown. It came
:12:23. > :12:26.through a tunnel and it blew which obviously the driver then lost all
:12:27. > :12:32.of the steering and it forced the coach to crash. When you heard that
:12:33. > :12:36.those tyres were so old what was your immediate reaction? Well, it
:12:37. > :12:41.was... It was unbelievable. You know, I say to people hearing about
:12:42. > :12:45.losing your child is the worst news you can ever hear in your life and
:12:46. > :12:51.nothing can prepare you for that. But the following year in Surrey at
:12:52. > :12:56.the inquest to find out then it was due to a 19-and-a-half-year-old tyre
:12:57. > :12:59.was ex-cruciating and the barrister representing us said I need to you
:13:00. > :13:03.sit down when I tell up this news because even I am shocked but it's
:13:04. > :13:09.legal, this will come back as an accidental death verdict even though
:13:10. > :13:12.this tyre is so old. At the moment what are the guidelines that police
:13:13. > :13:18.say or transport officials say about how old tyres should be? I actually
:13:19. > :13:21.went to see Patrick McLoughlin when he was Transport Secretary about
:13:22. > :13:27.this legislation and not having tyres older than ten years. What he
:13:28. > :13:31.did do, which wasn't enough, he did issue guidance. There is guidance
:13:32. > :13:34.out there for coach operators to say that tyres older than ten years
:13:35. > :13:39.shouldn't be fitted to the front axel. However, it's guidance and
:13:40. > :13:43.guidance is the lowest form of intervention. It will not stop
:13:44. > :13:46.people still doing that and still putting old tyres on vehicles. You
:13:47. > :13:50.want a law change? I want legislation. It's the only way. What
:13:51. > :13:55.happened with Michael, even if there had been guidance in place, then the
:13:56. > :13:58.coach operators would still have not been prosecuted and still would have
:13:59. > :14:04.come back as an accidental death verdict. I imagine lots of people
:14:05. > :14:08.watching, most people with a car, will think I don't even think about
:14:09. > :14:13.hold the tyres are, I don't know how to check the tyres. How would you go
:14:14. > :14:19.about that in terms of age? In terms of age, on the side of every tyre is
:14:20. > :14:23.a code, if you look at the last four digits on that tyre that will give
:14:24. > :14:28.you the week and the year of manufacture. We have set up... For
:14:29. > :14:35.example, sorry to interrupt. We are seeing on the graphic the digits
:14:36. > :14:40.1903. 19th week in 2003. Right. OK. That will tell you exactly when that
:14:41. > :14:45.tyre was made. We have set up a website and there
:14:46. > :14:49.is something on there that will help you calculate hold the tyres are. I
:14:50. > :14:54.suppose it's not just the age of the tyre, you could have a much newer
:14:55. > :14:57.tyre which is in a bad state or an older tyre which might be OK. I
:14:58. > :15:02.suppose the danger is we focus too much on the age rather than the
:15:03. > :15:08.condition. Well, I think the age is really important. If you look at a
:15:09. > :15:15.passenger service vehicle on a coach then the tread on this tyre had 40%.
:15:16. > :15:22.It looked fine, what happens it from within you can't see inside a coach
:15:23. > :15:25.tyre, so it's made up of a lot of cords and rubber delaminates, that's
:15:26. > :15:31.what happened with this tyre. It exploded from within. It killed
:15:32. > :15:35.Michael and the driver. Have you been given indication there is
:15:36. > :15:40.legislation possible on this? I have some way because I was working with
:15:41. > :15:44.Steve Rotherham, who was the MP for Walton at the time, and we actually
:15:45. > :15:48.have a bill and we did get to a ten-minute rule but then it was
:15:49. > :15:52.talked out as the parliamentary process, they're quite difficult to
:15:53. > :15:55.get past. There is a bill actually there and this is something the
:15:56. > :15:59.Government can do very, very easily. We have worked out for them how it
:16:00. > :16:02.could be done, it will cost - it won't cost the public purse
:16:03. > :16:06.anything. It's something that could be done at an annual MOT. Have you
:16:07. > :16:12.spoken to the Transport Secretary Chris Grayling? No He has refused to
:16:13. > :16:18.meet me which is really, you know, shocking, I think. I did actually
:16:19. > :16:23.get to see Patrick McLoughlin. I did write to Chris Grayling, or my MP
:16:24. > :16:26.Maria Eagle did. He didn't even sign the letter himself, he wrote back
:16:27. > :16:30.basically supporting what his colleague said and won't even
:16:31. > :16:34.negotiate this any further with me. We should say in terms of a reply,
:16:35. > :16:50.the Department of Transport has said our full sympathies are with the
:16:51. > :16:54.families. You think it's not enough. The only thing that will stop
:16:55. > :16:58.operators is if they know there is a danger of prosecution. To them they
:16:59. > :17:02.wouldn't even get a fine. Nothing would happen, if it's guidance and
:17:03. > :17:06.they could have those tyres on at MOT and they could be younger than
:17:07. > :17:11.ten years old. There is nothing to stop them once the MOT is finished
:17:12. > :17:16.replacing them with older tyres, we do know it's a practice some
:17:17. > :17:19.operators have. They put good tyres on for the MOT and store them
:17:20. > :17:24.because there is no age limit and take them off and put older tyres on
:17:25. > :17:30.for the rest of the year. Because at the time of the crash it had been
:17:31. > :17:33.MOTED six months before and it would have failed because the rear tyre
:17:34. > :17:36.was down to the cord. We have to leave it there, sadly. It's a
:17:37. > :17:40.complicated issue. It's one that clearly means a lot to you. I don't
:17:41. > :17:48.think it's that complicated. Thank you. Thank you very much.
:17:49. > :17:59.At this time of year there is lots of sports days and summer fetes. The
:18:00. > :18:02.story is positive really, dry weather this weekend. There will be
:18:03. > :18:07.sunny spells and if you keep the sunshine it's going to be warm. That
:18:08. > :18:10.said, there is a lot of cloud around at the moment but you can see some
:18:11. > :18:15.breaks and that's allowing already lovely spells of sunshine. This
:18:16. > :18:19.cloud into the far north-west will bring rain later on. Just look this
:18:20. > :18:24.morning at Cornwall, that's where I would like to be right now. Not a
:18:25. > :18:27.cloud in the sky. We will see the cloud that I showed you on the
:18:28. > :18:31.satellite picture breaking up through the afternoon. Here is that
:18:32. > :18:35.weather front pushing into the north-west, it will bring showery
:18:36. > :18:39.rain as it drifts into Scotland and Northern Ireland this afternoon. Not
:18:40. > :18:44.particularly heavy. But it will be a nuisance. I suspect maybe eastern
:18:45. > :18:48.Scotland will continue to see some breaks and sunshine and temperatures
:18:49. > :18:51.perhaps peaking around 18 or 19. Rain across the Borders into the
:18:52. > :18:55.north-west of England, through the Lake District and maybe North Wales
:18:56. > :18:59.by the end of the day but generally through England and Wales the story
:19:00. > :19:03.is dry with some sunshine and temperatures perhaps into the low
:19:04. > :19:07.20s. That will be pleasant, I suspect, for many out and about.
:19:08. > :19:11.This evening that weather front will gradually drift south and east, it's
:19:12. > :19:13.going to take its time, not really arriving to much of England and
:19:14. > :19:18.Wales until after dark. It will bring some rain. Some heavy as it
:19:19. > :19:23.moves south and east. A different start to our day tomorrow. Behind it
:19:24. > :19:28.it's going to be windy in the far north of Scotland, gales and showers
:19:29. > :19:31.to start the day. But those showers are set to continue into Sunday.
:19:32. > :19:36.Rain topping and tailing the country for Sunday morning. The front clears
:19:37. > :19:39.off and then an improving picture. The risk of showers continues and
:19:40. > :19:43.the breezy conditions into the north-west condition. Elsewhere,
:19:44. > :19:47.it's a pleasant afternoon. Again highs of around 16-18 in Scotland.
:19:48. > :19:53.Highest values of 23 in the south-east. For those of you who are
:19:54. > :19:58.going to be glued to the weather forecast for the start of Wimbledon
:19:59. > :20:03.it does look as though there is a potential maybe for a few sharp
:20:04. > :20:10.showers for the first day but it could be worse. More from myself
:20:11. > :20:19.later this morning and from Carol there live on Monday. Lucky things.
:20:20. > :20:26.I know, I am so jealous. It will rain and we will be warm in the
:20:27. > :20:30.studio instead! We always have the telly and the radio.
:20:31. > :20:35.Doctors and dentists agree that healthy teeth often
:20:36. > :20:37.mean healthy bodies too, with gum disease linked
:20:38. > :20:40.to higher risks of stroke, heart disease and diabetes.
:20:41. > :20:46.There are many people though - particularly those living
:20:47. > :20:51.on the streets or with drug and alcohol problems -
:20:52. > :20:55.who haven't seen a dentist in years and have shocking levels
:20:56. > :20:58.Breakfast's Graham Satchell went to one pop-up clinic in Manchester,
:20:59. > :21:28.My name is Abdul and I am 24. I am Anna and I am 35 years of age. I am
:21:29. > :21:30.Tony, my age is now 57. And I am basically on the streets.
:21:31. > :21:40.How do you reach the hard to reach? For dentist Ben and his team in
:21:41. > :21:47.Manchester, you go to them. Any medical problems we should be aware
:21:48. > :21:52.of? We are in a tiny side room at a drop-in centre for homeless people.
:21:53. > :21:57.You have a bit of a hole in it... We go to these sites and it a lot of
:21:58. > :22:01.different sites and they're shocked we have come to them. You are going
:22:02. > :22:06.to their environment, somewhere they feel safe. Do you have a contact
:22:07. > :22:11.number? No. The trick is not just to sign people like Tony up but then to
:22:12. > :22:15.persuade them to come to the surgery.
:22:16. > :22:18.Tony has lived on the streets for much of his life, he is having his
:22:19. > :22:23.teeth properly cleaned for the first time in years. It's like when you
:22:24. > :22:30.smile people look at your teeth and they see yellow or whatever.
:22:31. > :22:35.Hopefully now they'll see white. A recent study by the charity Ground
:22:36. > :22:38.Swell showed 7% of homeless people had no teeth, 15% had pulled out
:22:39. > :22:44.their own teeth and more than a quarter hadn't been to the dentist
:22:45. > :22:53.for five years. Tony's teeth are done and he is happy.
:22:54. > :22:58.But not everyone is so lucky. Vp On a scale of one to ten, it's
:22:59. > :23:06.about eight out of ten, really, really painful.
:23:07. > :23:17.13 tight at the top are all rotted. Must be a lot of pain. Yeah, I have
:23:18. > :23:22.taken... It doesn't help when you have teeth problems and that because
:23:23. > :23:25.it rots your teeth. Ben's outreach dentistry is funded by NHS England
:23:26. > :23:35.and is believed to be the only project of its kind in the country.
:23:36. > :23:40.You have seen examples today of what I would call Dixonsian dentist.
:23:41. > :23:44.There must have been pain to get to that stage N a rich society like our
:23:45. > :23:50.country not to care for these people is wrong.le. Melissa will need 21
:23:51. > :23:52.out of her teeth taken out as Ben continues his mission to reach the
:23:53. > :24:01.hard to reach. You are watching Breakfast. It's
:24:02. > :24:11.time to look at the Saturday morning papers.
:24:12. > :24:18.Dan Sodergren is here to tell us what's caught his eye. First of all
:24:19. > :24:22.let's look at the front pages. The Guardian leading on the resignation
:24:23. > :24:25.of the leader of Kensington and Chelsea Council.
:24:26. > :24:32.The Independent also leading on the Grenfell Tower tragedy.
:24:33. > :24:36.More than two weeks on and still that story dominating the news and
:24:37. > :24:41.the implications. Wimbledon starting next week but The
:24:42. > :24:48.Sun is saying Andy Murray might not be fit. You have to rub the front
:24:49. > :24:55.page, lay a handy on Andy to make his hip better for Wimbledon. Bound
:24:56. > :24:59.to be a success that! The Telegraph have a story about Brexit.
:25:00. > :25:01.Theresa May has been told that prioritising the City should be
:25:02. > :25:07.crucial in those negotiations about the deal that the UK gets.
:25:08. > :25:14.The Daily Mail leading on a call for aid cash to be used for pay rises
:25:15. > :25:20.for police and nurses. Dan, a story you have seen in The Sun to start.
:25:21. > :25:24.It started by a little boy being bullied, it's become a sensation
:25:25. > :25:32.online. It's a nice story, it shows how social media can be used in a
:25:33. > :25:36.positive way. Social media has helped people. The young lad was
:25:37. > :25:45.getting bullied. His father went on social media and said can you
:25:46. > :25:53.retweet and say happy birthday. They went with revenge is tweet. It's
:25:54. > :25:57.famous people doing it, even I did it. The point is it's the positive
:25:58. > :26:01.side of social media. I think it's really about being the change you
:26:02. > :26:05.want to see in the world. Sometimes we need more positive news stories.
:26:06. > :26:09.It's a great example of how technology and social media is there
:26:10. > :26:13.to boost someone up. Obviously not just that guy but everyone being
:26:14. > :26:17.bullied, it's wonderful to get behind. So often much of that
:26:18. > :26:20.bullying is happening through social media. Exactly, normally it's the
:26:21. > :26:25.negative side, there can be a positive side too. That's the
:26:26. > :26:28.positive. Here is the negative. Or not perhaps in terms of how
:26:29. > :26:33.countries are reacting to what's happening online. This is a story
:26:34. > :26:39.about Facebook and how Germany is going to fine Facebook for not being
:26:40. > :26:45.able to delete enough of the kind of antisocial and criminal messages.
:26:46. > :26:50.And Twitter, as well. It's ?44 million, but remember Facebook makes
:26:51. > :26:54.about a turnover of about $9 billion, so it might not affect them
:26:55. > :27:00.hugely. It's a nice idea we could maybe use the Government to try to
:27:01. > :27:03.in a way police social media. The problem I have, is it really
:27:04. > :27:09.Facebook's job to be deleting these things? If their job to be doing
:27:10. > :27:14.this and should we have sensorship in social media? It's a nice idea,
:27:15. > :27:21.could it be too far-reaching? What if you set up a forum and said I am
:27:22. > :27:24.providing you with a voice or a vehicle to express your voice and
:27:25. > :27:27.people put hatred on that, shouldn't you have responsibility about who is
:27:28. > :27:31.allowed on that forum and allowed to spread hate? Two things there. Is it
:27:32. > :27:35.the individual has the responsibility, is it the company
:27:36. > :27:37.like Facebook? Or is it the Government overriding it? The
:27:38. > :27:40.Government should be there to protect its people. If it's not
:27:41. > :27:46.doing something, then the people have a right to challenge that.
:27:47. > :27:51.Yeah, the other thing is if it goes too far, what happens if it becomes
:27:52. > :27:54.censorship? What we see as criminal might be a freedom fighter. Because
:27:55. > :27:57.we are spending so much time checking social media apparently
:27:58. > :28:04.it's changing the way not only what we do with our time, changes the way
:28:05. > :28:08.we walk. This mobile phone story, we are walking like pensioners
:28:09. > :28:12.apparently or more slowly. Pensioners will take offence to
:28:13. > :28:17.this, I am sure. This is looking at the speed teenagers are walking,
:28:18. > :28:24.it's as slow as many older people are walking because they're spending
:28:25. > :28:27.time walking and checking. What I find really interesting is this is
:28:28. > :28:34.what happens, you are checking your phone and walking. Do you do that? I
:28:35. > :28:38.must confess I do. Naga says she's never done that. In some countries
:28:39. > :28:43.they have different lanes for people on phones. If that's true, which
:28:44. > :28:48.country? Japan does it. OK if Japan does that, I was in Japan recently,
:28:49. > :28:52.I didn't see that. I got bumped into by people. I don't do it, because
:28:53. > :28:57.it's inconsiderate. It's thoughtless. But you are connected.
:28:58. > :29:01.It's a good use of time. There are people around you, connect with
:29:02. > :29:05.them! Use your phone in your own time. We are seeing the advertising
:29:06. > :29:09.around it, as well. I hope if you bump into someone you say sorry. It
:29:10. > :29:14.will be your fault. If you are looking at your phone. If I see you
:29:15. > :29:19.outside the studio on your phone. I will be standing still in a corner
:29:20. > :29:26.out of the way of people. We like this monkey, don't we? We do, it's a
:29:27. > :29:30.lovely story. It's about the self-obsessed monkey taking selfies.
:29:31. > :29:35.This is how clever phones are. Even primates now can be taken selfies.
:29:36. > :29:41.We take millions of selfies, around about 93 are taken every day. It's a
:29:42. > :29:46.stunning amount. They say you might spend an hour a year taking selfies
:29:47. > :29:52.which is a scary amount of time. Those monkeys then walk too slowly,
:29:53. > :30:00.people bump into them, it's a nightmare! Have you seen Naga's
:30:01. > :30:09.party trick. I haven't. There is the monkey. Spot the difference!
:30:10. > :30:13.Even better, I will take a shelfy at the same time. You see not only do
:30:14. > :30:18.you walk along the street... Perfect timing! It's all gone a bit crazy.
:30:19. > :30:24.Dan, come back next hour and be more sensible. We will all be. Coming up
:30:25. > :30:27.in the next half an hour we are not just talking about modern media, we
:30:28. > :30:33.are talking about the history of telly.
:30:34. > :30:39.It was all black and white. And snooker worked in black and white.
:30:40. > :31:24.It was always a black. Headlines are coming up. See you shortly.
:31:25. > :31:29.This is Breakfast with Naga Munchetty and Jon Kay.
:31:30. > :31:33.Louise will have the weather for you.

:31:53. > :31:57.A doctor has been shot dead and six others were seriously injured,
:31:58. > :32:00.after a man opened fire with an assault rifle
:32:01. > :32:09.Dr Henry Bello, who used to work at the hospital,
:32:10. > :32:12.concealed an assault rifle under a white doctor's coat,
:32:13. > :32:14.shooting at those who were working, and then killing himself.
:32:15. > :32:17.The Mayor of New York said it was not an act of terrorism.

:33:03. > :33:14.In a series of tweets, Adele said she was devastated and heartbroken -
:33:15. > :33:16.as the shows were the biggest of her life.
:33:17. > :33:19.But she admitted she'd struggled vocally earlier in the week.
:33:20. > :33:22.On Wednesday night she also told fans that this tour

:34:03. > :34:06.the habit, while take-up among those aged 16 to 24 is at an all-time low.

:34:26. > :34:31.In a world of their own as they try to do the right thing walking down
:34:32. > :34:32.the road. Now researchers have found that some
:34:33. > :34:35.people have developed a slow and exaggerated stepping action

:34:47. > :34:52.Nick said he nearly ran someone over because they work text ink and
:34:53. > :34:53.checking their apps on the phone. Inconsiderate and dangerous. Mike
:34:54. > :35:13.would never do that. The next 18 minutes also will be so
:35:14. > :35:20.crucial not just for the Test series that many suggest for the future of
:35:21. > :35:24.the Lions. Sam Warburton captains the side. It has been pouring for
:35:25. > :35:31.hours in Wellington. It could get very messy. New Zealand have not
:35:32. > :35:37.lost in Wellington since 2003 when England won. The lines will be the
:35:38. > :35:41.underdogs. It is more of a physical match for the all Blacks and this
:35:42. > :35:47.time last week and the defeat last weekend.
:35:48. > :35:49.Now there was some concern in Wellington earlier,
:35:50. > :35:52.about the health of the former Lions coach, Sir Ian McGeechan,

:39:25. > :39:30.the Isle of Wight. I've been in those
:39:31. > :39:34.waters, for an exclusive look in which you fly along
:39:35. > :39:38.above the water, is becoming If you thought the sort of sailing
:39:39. > :39:43.we've seen recently, It is the boat that is trying
:39:44. > :39:50.to bring the thrill of the America's Cup
:39:51. > :39:52.racing to all of us. Up on the foils and flying over
:39:53. > :39:56.the water and yet at much lower It changes the game massively
:39:57. > :40:00.in terms of how much fun you can Until now, the sport of foil racing
:40:01. > :40:12.has only been for the most daring and experienced because get it wrong
:40:13. > :40:14.in the air and the consequences Every time you make a small mistake,
:40:15. > :40:24.you capsize of the boat and most people have only got three or four
:40:25. > :40:27.capsizes in them before they are terribly tired and
:40:28. > :40:29.it's all too much. The London 2012 Paralympic
:40:30. > :40:32.gold-medallist Elena Lucas is used to sailing in the water
:40:33. > :40:35.and I joined her on her third attempt at this for a bit
:40:36. > :40:37.of a crash course. We are not even
:40:38. > :40:43.touching the surface. As you saw there, that is what makes
:40:44. > :40:49.this a lot safer than previous attempts at this for novices
:40:50. > :40:52.because we crashed into the water We can carry on and tried
:40:53. > :40:59.to get lift off again. Absolutely great demonstration
:41:00. > :41:01.of why these boats make it more Look at that, we're
:41:02. > :41:07.on the foils, out of the water, I am very much learning
:41:08. > :41:19.at the moment. We have had a couple of crashes
:41:20. > :41:22.but it's great because the boat is really steady,
:41:23. > :41:24.it did not capsize. The difference is, normally
:41:25. > :41:28.in a boat, the faster you go, the noisier it gets,
:41:29. > :41:31.but when you get up on these foils, it suddenly goes quiet
:41:32. > :41:34.and there is this sense of speed and this flying through the air
:41:35. > :41:40.that's absolutely amazing. The only guaranteed way
:41:41. > :41:42.to flip these boats over Looking at it underneath,
:41:43. > :41:48.it looks something out of Star Wars -
:41:49. > :41:50.half plane, half boat. It is that because it does
:41:51. > :41:54.have the float so it is a boat but the whole point of this is we're
:41:55. > :41:57.trying to get it to fly. This is the automatic
:41:58. > :42:03.height control. These gauges how high the boat
:42:04. > :42:17.is out of the water. It is hoped this will soon be
:42:18. > :42:20.available for thrill seekers whether you have had
:42:21. > :42:25.sailing experience or not. You see the fast cats
:42:26. > :42:27.in the America's Cup, it seems hard to be able to get
:42:28. > :42:30.to that level of sailing but with this boat you can take it
:42:31. > :42:34.out and even if as a beginner And if it is your turn soon,
:42:35. > :42:38.you should not have to worry about the boat capsizing but do be
:42:39. > :42:45.prepared to get rather wet. Do not adjust your sets or twiddle
:42:46. > :42:49.any dials or that we have just gone Back to Black and white for a few
:42:50. > :42:53.minutes because we are marking the 50th anniversary since the very
:42:54. > :42:58.first colour broadcast in British television. Let's have a look at
:42:59. > :43:08.some BBC classics before and after the dawning of colour.
:43:09. > :43:20.You are absolutely right, Wilson. The fingernails of filthy.
:43:21. > :43:36.One read on the table. With the rest of the colours, the break would be
:43:37. > :44:14.35. Back to normal. 50 years ago today
:44:15. > :44:18.colour began on the BBC. Let's talk now to Elinor Groom,
:44:19. > :44:30.from the National Science You could have won even right
:44:31. > :44:35.colours morning. I was surprised it started on BBC Two rather than BBC
:44:36. > :44:41.One. Most people will be surprised about that. BBC Two was quite
:44:42. > :44:46.ground-breaking. It was the first channel to be broadcast in ultrahigh
:44:47. > :44:50.frequency. People already had to adapt their television sets in the
:44:51. > :44:55.1960s in order to prepare for BBC Two. When colour came along again,
:44:56. > :45:00.it was also BBC Two that was the one that was leading the way. Only a few
:45:01. > :45:07.hours a week initially. Which programmes worked better? We saw
:45:08. > :45:13.some clips of the speaker. That is an obvious one. Did people feel they
:45:14. > :45:19.were missing out elsewhere? Essentially. David Attenborough,
:45:20. > :45:22.controller of BBC Two, he was one of the people who was charged with
:45:23. > :45:31.making it happen in making it work. Programmes like Pot Black were a
:45:32. > :45:35.really good example. That is where colour was so fundamental, to sports
:45:36. > :45:40.broadcasting, a lot of the time was the first colour broadcast on BBC
:45:41. > :45:47.Two was from Wimbledon, from a fourth-round match. There has always
:45:48. > :45:51.been this idea that sport should be living colour. Lots of people
:45:52. > :45:56.getting in touch, remembering seeing colour TV for the first time. People
:45:57. > :45:59.would come from around the neighbourhood to see the first
:46:00. > :46:06.colour programmes on television. It was a big deal. It was a big deal.
:46:07. > :46:09.It took the best part of ten years for colour television sets to
:46:10. > :46:18.outnumber black and white television sets. Why was that, the cost? Some
:46:19. > :46:24.of these sets are in the hundreds. Imagine that is thousands in today's
:46:25. > :46:29.money. And the TV licence. When colour was introduced TV licence was
:46:30. > :46:36.double the price. It is a bit like the Wizard of Oz. From the original
:46:37. > :46:41.and into Technicolor. It gives you a sense of the transformation. It
:46:42. > :46:50.became much more real for people. I think so. It was such a privilege.
:46:51. > :46:54.The people in the neighbourhood with the colour TV set. The neighbours
:46:55. > :47:00.would come round and you would suddenly make friends with everyone.
:47:01. > :47:05.Not only that but the BBC was quite keen to beat Germany. Oh, yes that
:47:06. > :47:17.there was always that thing. When they actually took those colour
:47:18. > :47:21.cameras to Wimbledon, we have approximately 1000 pieces of
:47:22. > :47:26.equipment from the BBC history. The cameras are not small. They had to
:47:27. > :47:31.have three tubes, red, Green and blue inside the casing. They had to
:47:32. > :47:35.lug those to Wimbledon, just for this one moment but just for this
:47:36. > :47:42.experiment. They had to do it so quickly in order to beat Germany.
:47:43. > :47:48.You can imagine, it was incredibly nervous to see if it would work.
:47:49. > :47:53.That is what we do. It brought reality into people's lives. It was
:47:54. > :48:02.something that looked real rather than removed and alien. In 50 years'
:48:03. > :48:07.time, where is television heading in the future? We are going through it
:48:08. > :48:12.now with 3D telly. Is that catching on? That is what I mean. In the
:48:13. > :48:17.1960s there were people who would have thought that colour was only a
:48:18. > :48:23.passing fad. Ten years from now, we might all think we are being silly
:48:24. > :48:30.for not getting on board with it. We will be sitting with virtual reality
:48:31. > :48:35.headsets and so on. Exactly. Letters now if you remember the day you
:48:36. > :48:38.first saw colour telly changing your life. Everyone kept black-and-white
:48:39. > :48:44.in the spare room. London Mayor Sadiq Khan has called
:48:45. > :48:52.for the Government to take control of Kensington Council,
:48:53. > :48:53.after its leader resigned over One doctor has been killed and six
:48:54. > :48:58.other people have been injured after a former employee opened fire
:48:59. > :49:16.with an assault rifle You know we were just discussing how
:49:17. > :49:20.television has moved on foot black-and-white to colour, HD and
:49:21. > :49:26.3D. Can you imagine if the weather was like touchable weather? I'm
:49:27. > :49:34.thinking about seeing Louise's charts and feel the rain and the
:49:35. > :49:37.thunder. It is hard enough to describe in colour. It would be
:49:38. > :49:50.impossible in black and white. Edinburgh had its wettest June ever.
:49:51. > :49:57.A pretty wet month with only one or two places seeing below average
:49:58. > :50:01.rainfall. It was hot. In Central and East England there were bright
:50:02. > :50:06.orange and red colours, denoting temperatures above average for the
:50:07. > :50:11.time of year. We have quite a lot of cloud around at the moment.
:50:12. > :50:15.Temperature is not as optimistic. You see this slice whether cloud
:50:16. > :50:19.starts to break up the sunshine. That window is going to shift its
:50:20. > :50:25.weight steadily eased as we go through the day. The cloud will
:50:26. > :50:30.break up and we will have sunshine coming through. In the far north and
:50:31. > :50:35.west, we could see more in the way of cloud and outbreaks of light rain
:50:36. > :50:40.as a weather front moves in. The rain is not too significant. It will
:50:41. > :50:45.bring patchy rain into western Scotland for a time. In the east we
:50:46. > :50:53.should see high teens likely. If you managed to cling on to the sunshine,
:50:54. > :50:58.it will feel reasonably pleasant. In North Wales there is light rain. For
:50:59. > :51:03.much of England and Wales it is a dry, sunny story into the afternoon.
:51:04. > :51:08.Temperatures perhaps up to 22, 20 three. Through the night whether
:51:09. > :51:16.France will sink South and bring some rain. Hopefully, a decent
:51:17. > :51:22.amount of rain for a time for the gardens. That still has to clear
:51:23. > :51:25.away in the south-east first thing on Sunday morning. The wings are
:51:26. > :51:29.strengthening into Scotland and there will be some squalling showers
:51:30. > :51:36.as we go through the day on Sunday. Elsewhere we will have this window
:51:37. > :51:41.of fine weather. The cloud. To meet away. Top temperatures, Sunday, 16
:51:42. > :51:47.degrees in the north and 23 degrees in the south-east corner.
:51:48. > :51:50.A new way of pricing could mean the end of the sandwich shop
:51:51. > :51:53.queue at lunchtime - but could also mean you pay more
:51:54. > :51:58.It's called 'dynamic pricing' and involves paper price labels
:51:59. > :52:00.being replaced by electronic ones, which allow for food
:52:01. > :52:07.retailers to change the cost of their goods throughout the day.
:52:08. > :52:15.Paul Lewis from Radio 4's Money Box has been looking into this.
:52:16. > :52:24.Physically, what will we see? What is different with this? This is for
:52:25. > :52:29.a fridge. It has the price and the details of the product. This price
:52:30. > :52:36.can be changed at any moment by head office or the office at the back of
:52:37. > :52:41.the shop. It looks like paper in two colours. This is the big thing, it
:52:42. > :52:47.is on a fridge. The small ones, but tiny size, will be on the shelves
:52:48. > :52:52.for biscuits and vegetables. Also some ages. Are they mini screens
:52:53. > :52:58.which can be controlled? Because they look like paper, at a quick
:52:59. > :53:02.glance, you do not see the difference. I have been speaking to
:53:03. > :53:09.someone who runs a one-stop shop, a 24-hour shop. He has just started
:53:10. > :53:14.doing this. He says he does not change prices dynamically throughout
:53:15. > :53:19.the day. What it means is on Thursday, the promotion day, when
:53:20. > :53:26.things come off offer and on offer, he can do it all from his computer.
:53:27. > :53:30.Before, it in bold two all three staff going around the shop and
:53:31. > :53:34.changing pricing on the shelves. Occasionally there would be a
:53:35. > :53:41.mistake. Here, the price you see is surprised that till nose. It is all
:53:42. > :53:48.automated. He says it has changed him versus Abbey saved him a lot of
:53:49. > :53:54.time. At the end of the day, instead of going round with red stickers on
:53:55. > :54:00.the lows and saying, half price, he can do that automatically. He sees
:54:01. > :54:04.great advantages without disadvantage in customers. You know
:54:05. > :54:10.where you are with this sticker. I just worry that by the time you get
:54:11. > :54:15.something to the tail, they have changed the price. People have not
:54:16. > :54:21.really explained how you can solve that. They're rather two ways. One
:54:22. > :54:28.used to have a delay. On the shelves it changes and then it changes at
:54:29. > :54:32.the till. If it has been changed from the person on the till will
:54:33. > :54:36.say, was this the price you were offered? You will say which price
:54:37. > :54:42.you were offered. I think it can be resolved but it does make it more
:54:43. > :54:46.difficult. If you were open all night in a big city you might put
:54:47. > :54:52.prices up at midnight and put them down at six o'clock to reflect the
:54:53. > :54:56.higher cost of being open. We know major supermarkets are trialling it
:54:57. > :55:03.and Marks Spencer 's are trialling cheap Earth Summit is at 11:30am to
:55:04. > :55:09.stop the lunch hour rush. -- cheaper sandwiches. I think we should all be
:55:10. > :55:12.prepared for the electronic price tag in our shops.
:55:13. > :55:15.It's not just books on offer at The Bradford Literature Festival -
:55:16. > :55:17.where poetry, music and celebrity speakers come together to reflect
:55:18. > :55:27.Held over ten days, around 50,000 people are expected
:55:28. > :55:31.Lets speak now to the women turning the literary festival upside down,
:55:32. > :55:40.Good morning. Tallis about the Bradford literary festival. It does
:55:41. > :55:46.not seem to always hit the headlines perhaps as much as it should. It is
:55:47. > :55:52.quite a new festival. New kids on the block. It is one of the most
:55:53. > :55:56.inspirational festivals. People are starting to notice it is there. We
:55:57. > :56:01.have seen that with visitor numbers, the speakers we have at the festival
:56:02. > :56:09.this year. It has been a really fantastic experience. We have said
:56:10. > :56:19.it is not just books you can buy. What would you come away with? Our
:56:20. > :56:24.starting point is it is about books. There is nothing in the world there
:56:25. > :56:32.is not a book about. You can talk of anything. We have poetry, comedy,
:56:33. > :56:40.anything that has a narrative. Film, dance, theatre. Everything. There
:56:41. > :56:45.are so many events and festivals. Comedy festivals, music festivals,
:56:46. > :56:49.literary festivals. How do you stand out and attract 50,000 people around
:56:50. > :56:55.the UK? Our programme is distinct. It is different from anything else.
:56:56. > :57:00.We bring together people from all sorts of different backgrounds. We
:57:01. > :57:04.programme events which don't just follow the new book trends we talk
:57:05. > :57:10.about topics which are important. We will bring together speakers who are
:57:11. > :57:23.the best to talk about. Our panel tends to be eclectic. What are you
:57:24. > :57:28.going to talk about? We have got everything from infobubbles, where
:57:29. > :57:31.we just talk about ourselves, and people talking about opinions.
:57:32. > :57:45.Everybody thought we were going to remain. Just how important social
:57:46. > :57:54.media is. There is a really eclectic range. There you are entering some
:57:55. > :57:59.controversial ground. On Thursday, Juno Dawson pulled out of the
:58:00. > :58:02.literary festival. There will always be people who think some of the
:58:03. > :58:08.speakers you choose to bring on are more than controversial. They are
:58:09. > :58:13.inflammatory. Audi you manage that? We have a big range of speakers. We
:58:14. > :58:18.regretted the fact that Juno pulled out because it took away a transit
:58:19. > :58:26.voice from festival. That is something we worked really hard on.
:58:27. > :58:32.The thing is, we are always going to have speakers others do not agree
:58:33. > :58:37.with. We programme things last year which other communities found
:58:38. > :58:41.challenging. With the festival, we are trying to portray lots of
:58:42. > :58:46.different opinions and trying to create a space where you can talk
:58:47. > :58:50.about different things. That will always happen. A lot of people will
:58:51. > :58:58.assume that literary festivals are cosy, easy-going and passive and it
:58:59. > :59:02.is just about selling books. Is it? Not for us. Books are really
:59:03. > :59:08.important. We want to get books out there. We want to create excitement
:59:09. > :59:13.about reading and inspire children. This is also a space. We wanted to
:59:14. > :59:18.create a space, a safe space for people to come together and have
:59:19. > :59:25.discussions. It is difficult to have nuanced conversations about
:59:26. > :59:32.anything. You can be called racist or is a phobic. These are
:59:33. > :59:36.challenging times. Literary festivals are the space to talk
:59:37. > :59:39.about your differences with respect. That is what we are lacking at the
:59:40. > :59:48.moment and what we are moving away from. I am not going to agree or
:59:49. > :59:55.disagree. Thank you for coming in and talking to us. It starts today.
:59:56. > :59:57.It started yesterday. Already under way.
:59:58. > :00:09.The Bradford Literature Festival runs until July 9th.

:04:36. > :04:39.days after the fire residents gathered here, some of them ran up
:04:40. > :04:43.the stairs behind me and got into the council building. They were
:04:44. > :04:46.angry because they felt they hadn't been listened to before the fire
:04:47. > :04:51.when they raised safety concerns and after the fire they felt they were
:04:52. > :04:56.being ignored by the council and that anger continues to this day.
:04:57. > :05:01.But for the Government to impose commissioners, to effectively take
:05:02. > :05:04.over the council, is a step to take because it effectively means they're
:05:05. > :05:08.removing councillors who have been elected but it has happened in the
:05:09. > :05:10.past, for example, in Rotherham where commissioners were sent in

:05:20. > :05:22.councillor this morning said the council had been rated as

:11:49. > :11:52.since the Grenfell Tower fire. He finally did yesterday evening,
:11:53. > :11:55.accepting responsibility for The news was welcomed by
:11:56. > :12:04.the government and the opposition, and the Mayor of London is now
:12:05. > :12:07.calling for commissioners to be brought in to take over
:12:08. > :12:10.the running of the Council. Let's discuss this in more
:12:11. > :12:12.detail with Andrew Gwynne, who is Shadow Secretary
:12:13. > :12:19.for Communities and Good morning. You agree so he should
:12:20. > :12:22.have stepped down? Absolutely, I think he should have done this
:12:23. > :12:28.earlier but better late than never. The fact is that the response by
:12:29. > :12:31.Kensington and Chelsea council has been lamentable in dealing with this
:12:32. > :12:37.dreadful tragedy and the council could and should have done a lot
:12:38. > :12:40.more to get a grip on what is a dreadful tragedy and there are still
:12:41. > :12:43.people out there requiring help of the public authorities that aren't
:12:44. > :12:47.getting the help that they desperately need. No one would ever
:12:48. > :12:52.dispute these people need help and that more should have been done
:12:53. > :12:56.quicker, sooner, the question is, though, by who? Which body should
:12:57. > :13:00.have been in charge, is any council, regardless of how wealthy it is, in
:13:01. > :13:05.a position in terms of personnel, in terms of money, in terms of being
:13:06. > :13:09.able to organise resources, to react to something like this? Grenfell
:13:10. > :13:15.Tower tragedy, it was awful, but on a scale that no council would ever
:13:16. > :13:20.expect to be dealing with? All local authorities should be prepared for
:13:21. > :13:25.civil contingencies and that means they take a leading role in pooling
:13:26. > :13:30.together resources, it might be they don't have resources to look after
:13:31. > :13:35.it but they should take the lead with central Government, other
:13:36. > :13:38.agencies, other charitable bodies to help get together that support
:13:39. > :13:41.people need at the time of need, and that is clear that this hasn't
:13:42. > :13:44.happened. Now the Government have accepted their share of
:13:45. > :13:46.responsibility. The Prime Minister has stood newspaper the House of
:13:47. > :13:50.Commons and said central Government should have done more. I accept
:13:51. > :13:54.that. But the local authority should have taken a leading role and
:13:55. > :13:59.they've let the people of Kensington down. When terrible things happen
:14:00. > :14:03.there is a sense these days that we want accountability and scalps and
:14:04. > :14:06.people to maybe resign. I wonder whether losing the leader of a
:14:07. > :14:11.council at a time like this when they still face so many challenges
:14:12. > :14:15.risks creating even more instability and even greater inability to deal
:14:16. > :14:20.with what they're facing? That's why one of the powers that the Secretary
:14:21. > :14:23.of State for Communities and Local Government has is to instigate an
:14:24. > :14:28.investigation into corporate governance because there is clearly
:14:29. > :14:31.a corporate governance failure at Kensington and Chelsea Council and
:14:32. > :14:36.he can then also instruct commissioners. This is a very rarely
:14:37. > :14:40.and rightly rarely used power. But he can instruct commissioners to go
:14:41. > :14:44.in and take control of the local authority for a temporary period. I
:14:45. > :14:49.feel that is certainly a power that should be used in this case. Those
:14:50. > :14:52.councillors were elected, democratically elected by people who
:14:53. > :14:56.live there, even if they've fallen out of favour or are in
:14:57. > :14:59.controversial situations at the moment, it's quite dangerous for
:15:00. > :15:02.central Government to put their own people above the elected
:15:03. > :15:06.councillors. That's why it's a rarely used power. But where there
:15:07. > :15:11.is a failing and a corporate failing and there has been, I think, in this
:15:12. > :15:14.case, I think it's right that central Government takes control of
:15:15. > :15:17.the situation. It's a temporary measure, are to get the local
:15:18. > :15:20.Government levels back up to what it should to be get the corporate
:15:21. > :15:26.governance back to what it should be. Local councillors still remain
:15:27. > :15:31.in place, there is still that democratic accountability, but it
:15:32. > :15:33.means central Government takes the day-to-day control through appointed
:15:34. > :15:39.commissioners in running the council and it's clear that if we are going
:15:40. > :15:43.to get a grip of what has gone desperately wrong in Kensington and
:15:44. > :15:47.Chelsea, then central Government needs to get its act together, as
:15:48. > :15:51.well. There is a fine line when it comes to political reaction to
:15:52. > :15:56.tragedies like this. No one is accusing anyone of not being
:15:57. > :16:00.sympathetic or understanding or compassionate about what has
:16:01. > :16:04.happened to these people with this Grenfell Tower tragedy, but there is
:16:05. > :16:08.an accusation the Labour Party is taking advantage now of an awful
:16:09. > :16:13.situation. How would you react to that? That's just not the case. I
:16:14. > :16:16.mean, my thoughts and prayers are with the people who are suffering...
:16:17. > :16:21.Which is what I said, that expression has been made. We have
:16:22. > :16:24.absolutely got to make sure that they get the best deal they can out
:16:25. > :16:29.of the public authorities, that those people who are still homeless
:16:30. > :16:33.are rehoused, those people that still need help through various
:16:34. > :16:36.Government agencies get that help, that's the only thing that I and the
:16:37. > :16:39.Labour Party are interested in. Do you think the Labour Party will
:16:40. > :16:44.benefit politically from this? I hope not. It's not about trying to
:16:45. > :16:52.get extra points in the polls. This is about making sure we do the right
:16:53. > :16:57.thing by people who have had a tragic incident occur in their
:16:58. > :17:00.day-to-day lives. We also then have to learn wider lessons so that
:17:01. > :17:03.incidents like Grenfell Tower don't happen ever again in any other part
:17:04. > :17:07.of the country. Do you think Labour Party would have been as critical of
:17:08. > :17:12.this happening within a Labour Party authority? Absolutely. You know, at
:17:13. > :17:18.the end of the day these are people's lives, these are people's
:17:19. > :17:22.homes. Whether it's in Kensington or another local authority, there are
:17:23. > :17:26.big questions that need to be resolved in terms of planning
:17:27. > :17:30.procedures, in terms of our building control mechanisms, in terms of a
:17:31. > :17:34.range of issues for the future. Right here and now, though, we need
:17:35. > :17:41.to get justice for the Grenfell residents. Thank you very much.
:17:42. > :17:48.Let's get the weather with Louise. That's a lovely picture in Cornwall.
:17:49. > :17:51.It's beautiful, I have found some sunshine. Not much around at the
:17:52. > :17:57.moment but I am hoping there will be more in the sunshine that we have in
:17:58. > :17:59.Cornwall at the moment. It is this slice of cloud or cloud-free zone
:18:00. > :18:06.across much of the west. A weather front is waiting in the
:18:07. > :18:08.wings, this cloud through much of central and eastern areas should
:18:09. > :18:13.thin and break up as we go through the day. It's an improving picture
:18:14. > :18:17.and for many of us it's going to be a largely fine, dry day. In the
:18:18. > :18:22.sunshine it will feel promising. That weather front will gradually
:18:23. > :18:25.bring cloud and rain into the north and west of Scotland and Northern
:18:26. > :18:30.Ireland. It's not going to be too heavy but will be a nuisance into
:18:31. > :18:34.the afternoon. Highest values in sheltered eastern areas but
:18:35. > :18:38.generally around 14-18 degrees the high here. The cloud will start to
:18:39. > :18:42.push in across north-west England and North Wales but it should stay
:18:43. > :18:45.dry during daylight hours and hopefully for the majority of
:18:46. > :18:50.England and Wales, as you probably gathered, we will see decent breaks
:18:51. > :18:55.in the cloud, sunny spells and highs of 22 or 23 not out of the question.
:18:56. > :18:58.Rain likely through the night tonight, pushing across Wales,
:18:59. > :19:04.moving into the Midlands and then potentially pepping up for a time
:19:05. > :19:07.overnight. That will probably come as welcome news for gardeners and
:19:08. > :19:11.growers out there. It may linger first thing tomorrow morning. Windy
:19:12. > :19:14.in the far north of Scotland. Showers through the night and those
:19:15. > :19:19.showers stay with you for tomorrow. We lose the rain in the south-east
:19:20. > :19:24.through the morning. Have a lie-in and you might miss it altogether.
:19:25. > :19:29.The cloud continues to break and we will see sunny spells. A scattering
:19:30. > :19:34.of showers and breezy conditions in western Scotland, that will make it
:19:35. > :19:38.feel fresher on exposed coasts. Highest values likely of 23 again.
:19:39. > :19:43.Likely Scotland will start off with the better of the weather over the
:19:44. > :19:48.next couple of days because an area of low pressure will move into the
:19:49. > :19:52.south. Monday into Tuesday we could see rain across central and southern
:19:53. > :19:56.England, some of that will turn heavy through Northern Ireland and
:19:57. > :19:57.North Wales on Tuesday. Generally speaking highest values again still

:23:50. > :23:56.With us to tell us what has caught his eye is Dan Sodergren. I love
:23:57. > :23:58.this story about Annie Lennox. Everybody knows Annie Lennox, right.
:23:59. > :24:02.You would have thought so. Not right. A chap in America didn't
:24:03. > :24:06.recognise her at all. Actually got back to her and said we might be
:24:07. > :24:11.able to play some of your tunes pretty much. She posted on Facebook,
:24:12. > :24:14.quote on quote, I think I might have a chance which is a lovely thing.
:24:15. > :24:19.Not recognised at all, Google the name for a second and surely a
:24:20. > :24:24.trillion things would turn up for use images, anything. But not to be
:24:25. > :24:28.recognised is hilarious. She got this e-mail, I assume a younger
:24:29. > :24:31.person, saying, you know, we are interested in what we heard of
:24:32. > :24:36.yours. We have come across your music and like what we hear and
:24:37. > :24:39.would like you to submit more for consideration to be played on our
:24:40. > :24:44.radio station. They even asked what is her support like and does she
:24:45. > :24:52.have a support campaign? Do you have a manager! Can I help you. They
:24:53. > :24:57.should have used this. Exactly. Links into this nicely. This is a
:24:58. > :25:03.great story about how AI and facial recognition is used more and more in
:25:04. > :25:06.China. It's something like 167 million surveillance cameras in
:25:07. > :25:11.China. They're now using AI for facial recognition. Things as small
:25:12. > :25:17.as Jay-walking or dropping litter. They're putting the picture and a
:25:18. > :25:22.big billboard when the person does it. Naming and shaming. Don't know
:25:23. > :25:27.if my life is too mixed up in tech films, I thought this was happening
:25:28. > :25:30.anyway. I think it's happening, AI is happening lots and facial
:25:31. > :25:33.recognition is happening a lot. It's here they're naming and shaming
:25:34. > :25:38.instantly which is the clever thing if you think about it, or the
:25:39. > :25:41.terrifying thing depending on wru want to go with this. This
:25:42. > :25:45.recognition software could be used on bordersage things, there is
:25:46. > :25:49.another way of thinking about technology, is it Big Brother, is it
:25:50. > :25:55.too much snooping or a useful tool for Stuart forces? We are in the
:25:56. > :25:59.airport -- security forces When you are in the airport, in the passport,
:26:00. > :26:04.that's facial recognition. Absolutely. It's more the fact the
:26:05. > :26:09.AI is doing it so quickly, that the camera, normally you are standing in
:26:10. > :26:14.front of it, if you are walking and drop something the camera can pick
:26:15. > :26:18.up that side of your face, AI recognises it and not saying you

:26:46. > :26:49.Europe will keep doing with pesticides and banning them, it's a
:26:50. > :26:56.technology story is because there is a plan by Harvard to build robo-bees
:26:57. > :27:05.to replace them, if they do die out. Apparently we will be fine. It's a
:27:06. > :27:17.concept for this technology that will be able to pollinate stuff.
:27:18. > :27:22.It's in the future. It would create a bee that is not killed by the
:27:23. > :27:28.pesticides. It will be a tiny robot bee. It's like a movie. Good face
:27:29. > :27:31.there, kind of scary. This is why it's a lovely story, it's not about
:27:32. > :27:35.technology, it's about nature and people saving people. We can go back
:27:36. > :27:40.to the basics and we don't need technology to save the world. We can
:27:41. > :27:44.do it by being nicer. What is this, a care home, two different
:27:45. > :27:48.generations mixing together. It's something that happens, a lot in
:27:49. > :27:53.northern Europe and it's starting to happen here. A company I think it's
:27:54. > :27:56.called Apple and Honey, a nice link to the bees, they're bringing
:27:57. > :28:04.together nursery children and the very old and they're looking after
:28:05. > :28:10.each other. It gets rid of, what they call age apartheid. Nursery and
:28:11. > :28:13.a home for the elderly on the same site so they can interact. It's a
:28:14. > :28:15.lovely way of doing it, we don't necessarily have that support from
:28:16. > :28:22.extended families as much any more. This might be a new way of doing it.
:28:23. > :28:27.I love the idea that old people can interact and get the energy from and
:28:28. > :28:33.be stereotypes can be broken down and loneliness goes. We don't need
:28:34. > :28:38.technology, just meet each other. They meet each other. And their
:28:39. > :28:43.energy. It's in Seattle I think at the moment, I can imagine it being
:28:44. > :28:47.the kind of idea it takes off here. It's in Clapham. They're doing it
:28:48. > :28:54.right now. We should investigate that. Thank you for coming in. Good
:28:55. > :29:00.stuff. How was your breakfast? Planning for lunch and dinner? Yes.
:29:01. > :29:04.Want some ideas. The Hairy Bikers have that. Good morning guys.
:29:05. > :29:09.Morning! How are you this morning? Very well. A little bird tells me
:29:10. > :29:14.that you are venturing outside today, you should have a good day
:29:15. > :29:19.because Louise has been telling us about the weather. Yes, a good one.

:29:45. > :29:50.anything can be nice, but I used to be scared by prawns when I was
:29:51. > :30:00.little. Imagine if they lived under your bed? Fair-dos. We have two

:32:00. > :32:02.have kicked off. But first, a summary of this
:32:03. > :32:06.morning's main news. Kensington and Chelsea Council
:32:07. > :32:08.is facing more criticism over its handling of the Grenfell Tower
:32:09. > :32:10.fire. The council leader, Nicholas
:32:11. > :32:12.Paget-Brown, and his deputy, Now the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan
:32:13. > :32:17.is calling for commissioners to be brought in to take over the running
:32:18. > :32:32.of the authority, which he says The Shadow Communities Secretary
:32:33. > :32:37.said he supported the idea. It is a rarely used power. Where there is a
:32:38. > :32:41.corporate failing, and there has been in this case, I think it is
:32:42. > :32:46.right that central government takes control of the situation. It is a
:32:47. > :32:51.temporary measure to get local government levels back to where they
:32:52. > :32:54.should be to get governments back to where it should be. There is still
:32:55. > :32:56.democratic accountability. A doctor has been shot dead and six
:32:57. > :32:59.others were seriously injured, after a man opened fire
:33:00. > :33:01.with an assault rifle Dr Henry Bello, who used
:33:02. > :33:05.to work at the hospital, concealed an assault rifle under
:33:06. > :33:08.a white doctor's coat, shooting at those who were working,
:33:09. > :33:10.and then killing himself. The Mayor of New York said
:33:11. > :33:15.it was not an act of terrorism. The former chief of staff
:33:16. > :33:18.to the Brexit Secretary has said negotiations with the EU are being
:33:19. > :33:20."hamstrung" by Theresa May's James Chapman worked
:33:21. > :33:25.closely with David Davis, and told the BBC that the red lines
:33:26. > :33:28.set by the Prime Minister had made his former boss's job very
:33:29. > :33:31.difficult as he conducts talks Thousands of police have been
:33:32. > :33:36.deployed in Hong Kong, where celebrations are being held
:33:37. > :33:39.to mark the 20th anniversary of the territory's handover
:33:40. > :33:42.from British to Chinese rule. The new chief executive Carrie Lam

:33:51. > :33:51.between pro-democracy and pro-Beijing demonstrators,
:33:52. > :33:53.with more protests It's been exactly ten years
:33:54. > :34:03.since the smoking ban was introduced in pubs and other licensed
:34:04. > :34:05.premises in England. It hasn't been popular
:34:06. > :34:07.with everybody, but campaigners say the legislation has helped
:34:08. > :34:10.two million smokers to kick the habit, while take-up among those
:34:11. > :34:28.aged 16 to 24 is at an all-time low. Using mobile phones is changing and
:34:29. > :34:34.we talk and walk, according to new research. Scientists from the
:34:35. > :34:40.University of Essex fitted trackers and said if you are using a
:34:41. > :34:47.smartphone to check social media you walk about 20% slower because you
:34:48. > :34:57.are not lifting your feet as much. The biggest reduction was in
:34:58. > :35:01.peripheral vision. What a surprise! You do not think it has an effect on
:35:02. > :35:06.the way you physically walk. It is one of your bugbears. You hate it. A
:35:07. > :35:11.lot of people have been getting in touch. Lots of people getting in
:35:12. > :35:17.touch who agree it is very frustrating. Having Coffey spilt on
:35:18. > :35:20.them. Those are the main
:35:21. > :35:37.stories this morning. Adele has had to cancel her two
:35:38. > :35:42.concerts and we'll be talking about that later.
:35:43. > :35:49.You are talking about 1967 and the introduction of colour TV for that
:35:50. > :35:54.that was the last time that New Zealand had a player sent off, until
:35:55. > :35:59.today for them could this be a game changer? Real relief in the British
:36:00. > :36:03.and Irish Lions camp now. We are listening now. Could this be the
:36:04. > :36:09.Lions chance? New Zealand with a man down. This was the moment that could
:36:10. > :36:15.prove so crucial. It was 3- free when Sonny Bill Williams went
:36:16. > :36:20.cruising in. Sound effects from Jon Kay. Knows a prize he was sent off
:36:21. > :36:26.by the French referee. The first all-black to be sent off in 50
:36:27. > :36:32.years. But Mac, a story of penalties. Going into the second
:36:33. > :36:34.half it is 9-9. I will update you when it happens. The Lions have
:36:35. > :36:38.their tails up, you feel. Gary Ballance has been recalled
:36:39. > :36:40.to the England cricket squad for next week's first Test
:36:41. > :36:43.against South Africa at Lord's. The Yorkshire captain was dropped
:36:44. > :36:45.after a poor performance against Bangladesh in October
:36:46. > :36:47.but he's the second-highest run-scorer in this season's

:36:51. > :36:58.despite limping through three Murray has a sore hip and though
:36:59. > :37:03.he was hitting the ball and serving smoothly,
:37:04. > :37:05.in between rallies he was He still plans to begin the defence
:37:06. > :37:11.of his Wimbledon title on Monday, Novak Djokovic plays
:37:12. > :37:14.Gael Monfils in the final, at Eastbourne later,
:37:15. > :37:16.after beating, Daniil Medvedev. Djokovic isn't quite
:37:17. > :37:17.back to his old self, but he hasn't dropped a set this
:37:18. > :37:24.week. British number three
:37:25. > :37:25.Heather Watson declared herself, former world number one
:37:26. > :37:31.Caroline Wozniacki, to three sets She said a run of good results,
:37:32. > :37:35.had left her feeling Wozniacki will face
:37:36. > :37:40.Karolina Pliskova, in the final. Pliskova went through,
:37:41. > :37:41.when British number one She'd injured her back in a nasty
:37:42. > :37:46.fall, during her victory over world number one Angelique Kerber,
:37:47. > :37:48.in the quarter-finals. She's still hoping to be
:37:49. > :37:50.fit for Wimbledon - It is a big tournament next week
:37:51. > :38:00.for all of us but it is something that I have to disregard
:38:01. > :38:03.when it comes to my health. My health always has got to come
:38:04. > :38:06.first and I'm definitely doing everything I can to be ready
:38:07. > :38:08.for Wimbledon but definitely just taking it a day at a time
:38:09. > :38:15.and whatever is best for my health. Chris Froome has signed a three-year
:38:16. > :38:18.contract with Team Sky on the eve The Tour gets under
:38:19. > :38:21.way in Dooosseldorf in Germany this afternoon -
:38:22. > :38:23.and Froome's hoping to complete his third straight win,
:38:24. > :38:26.and fourth victory in five years. The level of my rivals
:38:27. > :38:30.and the course we are racing on this year makes it a much more open race
:38:31. > :38:36.and it going to be the biggest It would be right up there,
:38:37. > :38:45.to win a fourth Tour de France title I've been in those
:38:46. > :39:19.waters, for an exclusive look in which you fly along
:39:20. > :39:22.above the water, is becoming If you thought the sort of sailing
:39:23. > :39:26.we've seen recently, in the America's cup,
:39:27. > :39:28.was just for the most It is the boat that is trying
:39:29. > :39:36.to bring the thrill of the America's Cup
:39:37. > :39:38.racing to all of us. Up on the foils and flying over
:39:39. > :39:41.the water and yet at much lower It changes the game massively
:39:42. > :39:46.in terms of how much fun you can Until now, the sport of foil racing
:39:47. > :39:52.has only been for the most daring and experienced because get it wrong
:39:53. > :39:55.in the air and the consequences Every time you make a small mistake,
:39:56. > :40:01.you capsize of the boat and most people have only got three or four
:40:02. > :40:04.capsizes in them before they are terribly tired and
:40:05. > :40:08.it's all too much. The London 2012 Paralympic
:40:09. > :40:11.gold-medallist Elena Lucas is used to sailing in the water
:40:12. > :40:14.and I joined her on her third attempt at this for a bit
:40:15. > :40:19.of a crash course. We are not even
:40:20. > :40:26.touching the surface. As you saw there, that is what makes
:40:27. > :40:35.this a lot safer than previous attempts at this for novices
:40:36. > :40:37.because we crashed into the water We can carry on and tried
:40:38. > :40:43.to get lift off again. Absolutely great demonstration
:40:44. > :40:45.of why these boats make it more Look at that, we're
:40:46. > :40:53.on the foils, out of the water, I am very much learning
:40:54. > :41:02.at the moment. We have had a couple of crashes
:41:03. > :41:06.but it's great because the boat is really steady,
:41:07. > :41:07.it did not capsize. The difference is, normally
:41:08. > :41:12.in a boat, the faster you go, the noisier it gets,
:41:13. > :41:15.but when you get up on these foils, it suddenly goes quiet
:41:16. > :41:17.and there is this sense of speed and this flying through the air
:41:18. > :41:21.that's absolutely amazing. The only guaranteed way
:41:22. > :41:23.to flip these boats over Looking at it underneath,
:41:24. > :41:30.it looks something out of Star Wars -
:41:31. > :41:38.half plane, half boat. It is that because it does
:41:39. > :41:42.have the float so it is a boat but the whole point of this is we're
:41:43. > :41:45.trying to get it to fly. This is the automatic
:41:46. > :41:47.height control. These gauges how high the boat
:41:48. > :41:50.is out of the water. It is hoped this will soon be
:41:51. > :41:53.available for thrill seekers whether you have had
:41:54. > :41:57.sailing experience or not. You see the fast cats
:41:58. > :41:59.in the America's Cup, it seems hard to be able to get
:42:00. > :42:02.to that level of sailing but with this boat you can take it
:42:03. > :42:06.out and even if as a beginner And if it is your turn soon,
:42:07. > :42:13.you should not have to worry about the boat capsizing but do be
:42:14. > :42:28.prepared to get rather wet. So much potential. It gives everyone
:42:29. > :42:41.the chance to be a really experienced sailor. It looked not
:42:42. > :42:46.without risk. You will not cap size. It will make you very wet but you
:42:47. > :42:56.will stay on the vote and take passengers for a ride. It is an
:42:57. > :43:07.amazing feeling, it is like flying. I think it is still 9-9. Still 9-9.
:43:08. > :43:11.New classes needed, I think. We will concentrate on the programme in the
:43:12. > :43:15.meantime. Mike will be running out to watch the rugby. I will come out
:43:16. > :43:22.and shout. We have 15 minutes before we go.
:43:23. > :43:26.Shock news that Adele has been enforced to cancel two gigs at the
:43:27. > :43:30.weekend. 121 - that's how many concerts Adele
:43:31. > :43:33.has done around the world, since releasing her Grammy award
:43:34. > :43:44.winning album, 25. Here we are, less than two years
:43:45. > :43:46.later, the last two gigs scheduled for London weekend, she has
:43:47. > :43:51.announced they will not be happening.
:43:52. > :43:58.Chris Hawkins is from BBC Radio 6 music.
:43:59. > :44:08.She has vocal cord problems. She had a vocal cord haemorrhage and had to
:44:09. > :44:12.cancel dates. It is not new but right at the end of the Torvalds. I
:44:13. > :44:16.guess doing a marathon and you are on miles 25 foot jihad two more
:44:17. > :44:35.dates in the tour and has had to cancel. This was late last night.
:44:36. > :44:43.She has said, I am sorry, I love you. She said she might not tour
:44:44. > :44:50.again. Do you think this is all linked? Because she has had issues
:44:51. > :44:54.before, she has said touring does not necessarily suit her. She is a
:44:55. > :44:59.mother to a five-year-old and a wife. By her own admission, she is a
:45:00. > :45:07.girl. Being on the road for 18 months will not have suited her at
:45:08. > :45:11.all. She is also a Londoner. To be playing the last two dates in London
:45:12. > :45:17.at the end of the tour and not be able to do at home is utterly
:45:18. > :45:21.gutting. To record-breaking numbers for Wembley Stadium. 98,000 people
:45:22. > :45:31.were there this week. This was the final hurdle. This was the last two.
:45:32. > :45:37.She has not made the decision lightly. Any news from Wembley about
:45:38. > :45:42.what will happen with tickets? The practicalities are everyone will be
:45:43. > :45:46.refund if it is a special occasion we weekend. These would have been
:45:47. > :45:51.birthday presents, Christmas presents. This was a weekend to
:45:52. > :45:58.remember. She apologises for memories that might have been made.
:45:59. > :46:04.She says it is as if my whole career has been building up to these four
:46:05. > :46:10.shows full such is not taking it lightly. What will be the impact on
:46:11. > :46:17.her career that she not need to worry about it? A good question. The
:46:18. > :46:24.impact will be massive immediately. It was the end of the tour. It would
:46:25. > :46:34.have been three, four years since she would have been touring. It is
:46:35. > :46:37.not something she needs to be with concerns about immediately. That
:46:38. > :46:42.decision does not have to be made yet. The big decisions about whether
:46:43. > :46:47.the two dates will be rescheduled. My feeling is she will want to do
:46:48. > :46:51.them and do the two dates early next year think about the future after
:46:52. > :46:57.that. She said she was thinking of going on tonight and miming. Just to
:46:58. > :47:01.give people an experience. She alludes to the fact that is
:47:02. > :47:07.something that is done but it would not be her. She would not be her
:47:08. > :47:12.genuine self. That is the right decision, I think. She is so down to
:47:13. > :47:16.earth that you really feel for her. You know how passionate she is about
:47:17. > :47:23.music. No sympathy is with her at this point. A seriously genuine
:47:24. > :47:27.artist. You know this is not a management decision. There is
:47:28. > :47:33.nothing calculated. She has damaged her voice. If you are a footballer
:47:34. > :47:39.and got injured in a game, the manager would pull you. Sadly, it
:47:40. > :47:45.thousands of disappointed fans this weekend but hopefully they will get
:47:46. > :47:55.to see her next year. I guess the person who is most disappointed is
:47:56. > :48:02.her, herself. I imagine she is devastated.
:48:03. > :48:07.Here's Louise with a look at this morning's weather.
:48:08. > :48:16.For those of you who have not been watching all morning, why not? It
:48:17. > :48:22.has been one of the wettest June 's on record. I thought I would find
:48:23. > :48:29.you some sunshine. A beautiful morning in Cumbria. The cloud is
:48:30. > :48:33.coming. Here is the hole in the cloud that is allowing for some
:48:34. > :48:41.sunshine. Hopefully the cloud to the east of that will break up. In the
:48:42. > :48:47.West that is a weather front. Elsewhere, not a bad start to the
:48:48. > :48:51.first weekend in July. It will be dry with decent spells of sunshine
:48:52. > :48:57.and it will feel quite pleasant in the sun. We have some rain but it
:48:58. > :49:06.will be light and patchy. Still reasonably warm. Most likely, under
:49:07. > :49:14.the cloud and rain, 15, 16 at the very best. A bit of cloud into the
:49:15. > :49:20.north-west England and Wales. Elsewhere, plain sailing. 21-22
:49:21. > :49:26.likely. Light winds and sunny skies. As we go through tonight, we could
:49:27. > :49:29.see more rain in Central and southern areas. The only difference
:49:30. > :49:38.is the rain will be heavier in places. The rain will continue south
:49:39. > :49:44.and east. Those showers will continue through much of the day
:49:45. > :49:53.tomorrow. It will be quite breezy. That will make it feel fresher. The
:49:54. > :49:58.crowd will break up and almost repeat performance of today. It does
:49:59. > :50:04.look as though we will continue to see some unsettled weather in the
:50:05. > :50:08.early half of next week, Monday into Tuesday. This could bring some
:50:09. > :50:14.showers across southern England. That means if you do have to kit for
:50:15. > :50:18.Wimbledon there is the potential for a few showers interrupting play for
:50:19. > :50:21.the opening of this year's championships. The only thing we
:50:22. > :50:30.need to discuss is what colour we're wearing tomorrow? I will be my golf
:50:31. > :50:36.trousers tomorrow. I'd thought that was pink. It matched your Sunrise
:50:37. > :50:41.earlier. It looks lovely. Maybe complete opposites. Blue. How does
:50:42. > :50:43.that work? I will be thinking of you tomorrow morning when I'm in my bed,
:50:44. > :50:46.getting ready for golf. Canada is celebrating 150 years
:50:47. > :50:49.since the British and French bonded It's a little-known fact
:50:50. > :50:58.but the Declaration of Independence was drafted at Highclere Castle,
:50:59. > :51:04.the real Downton Abbey, back in 1867 because the 4th Earl
:51:05. > :51:08.of Canarvon was friends Ben Moore got exclusive access
:51:09. > :51:19.to the Library there. The libraries of England's grand
:51:20. > :51:23.houses harbour many secrets. But amongst the 8,000 books
:51:24. > :51:26.at Highclere, better known to viewers as Downton
:51:27. > :51:27.Abbey, was a corker. At the bottom of this
:51:28. > :51:36.page are three names, John Macdonald, GE
:51:37. > :51:42.Cartier, and Galt. So I did a bit of research,
:51:43. > :51:45.and within one second realised John A Macdonald became the first
:51:46. > :51:53.prime Minister of Canada, and led this delegation
:51:54. > :51:55.hosted by the fourth earl. Over the year, they drafted
:51:56. > :52:01.the British North America Act. Actually, quite a bit
:52:02. > :52:03.of the constitution was written Perhaps they discussed it around
:52:04. > :52:08.this dining room table, perhaps they stood by the saloon
:52:09. > :52:11.fire on a cold, wintry day. With the Government now modelled
:52:12. > :52:22.on the British Parliament, modern Canada was born
:52:23. > :52:24.on the 1 July 1867. I certainly was not aware of it,
:52:25. > :52:27.and I don't think enough The setting is hugely important,
:52:28. > :52:32.but it is also the important role I look forward to actually having
:52:33. > :52:36.the chance to make sure that it Diaries, telegrams and letters
:52:37. > :52:39.have been uncovered, adding real colour
:52:40. > :52:41.to these negotiations. UK-based Canadians invited
:52:42. > :52:44.to the castle were certainly moved. England is home to me,
:52:45. > :52:57.even though we have lived It wasn't just the constitution
:52:58. > :53:01.of Canada that was drafted The name of this new territory
:53:02. > :53:12.was decided here as well, although there were
:53:13. > :53:13.other suggestions. Franklin was one, quickly
:53:14. > :53:15.followed by Guefeleland, before Lord Canarvon had his way,
:53:16. > :53:29.and Canada was chosen. The fourth Earl had a town named
:53:30. > :53:30.after him in Canada but left an international legacy for both
:53:31. > :53:35.countries. It's 25 years since blockbuster
:53:36. > :53:43.crime writer Martina Cole published her first novel,
:53:44. > :53:44.The Dangerous Lady. Since then she's sold
:53:45. > :53:46.over 16 million books, won prizes for her writing
:53:47. > :53:48.and seen her work She is one of the top authors we
:53:49. > :53:55.know. Martina's new book has been
:53:56. > :53:57.published this week. But alongside the writing, she's
:53:58. > :53:59.a passionate advocate of reading, devoting time to help people learn
:54:00. > :54:02.and visiting prisons - where her books are the most
:54:03. > :54:14.borrowed amongst prisoners! Would you ever have thought that he
:54:15. > :54:23.would be so popular as an author now? I was 21 and kept my novel
:54:24. > :54:28.uncovered. I wanted to see my name on a book. I did not think it would
:54:29. > :54:39.be on so many, certainly not millions and not over 24 books.
:54:40. > :54:46.Dangerous Lady 25 years. My books lasted longer than my marriage. That
:54:47. > :54:51.is terrible, isn't it? I think most authors have to pinch themselves.
:54:52. > :54:55.You are on your own doing it so long and then, suddenly, everyone have to
:54:56. > :55:01.like it. There is that part to writing, which I think people
:55:02. > :55:05.forget. You're on your own and you create characters and storylines. In
:55:06. > :55:12.the room, it is just you. You give it to an editor, publisher and your
:55:13. > :55:18.readers. How personally to take reaction to your books? It depends
:55:19. > :55:26.who reacting. In the prisons, I get such a fantastic reaction. When I do
:55:27. > :55:34.book signings, my readers are so fantastic. Every now and then you
:55:35. > :55:40.get a strange one. That is life. There is quite a lot of violence in
:55:41. > :55:52.your book, do think that is why they appeal in prisons? I have just
:55:53. > :55:58.delivered the fourth instalment of Lady-killer. I write from the point
:55:59. > :56:06.of view of a criminal. I write from a criminal's point of view. That is
:56:07. > :56:11.why it is such a compliment that the people in the prison system find
:56:12. > :56:16.them really popular, the most requested books. Do you ever worry
:56:17. > :56:23.you go too far? Sometimes, when I read about my work, I cannot believe
:56:24. > :56:30.I wrote it. I am not very big. People think I am six foot tall and
:56:31. > :56:35.drinking pints. I do not think people equate tiny women with great
:56:36. > :56:43.violence but I do write great violence. Does that surprise you you
:56:44. > :56:50.have written them? I print every chapter off and read it back. I
:56:51. > :56:57.can't believe I did that! I kill people and children. I can't believe
:56:58. > :57:08.I did that. You just get so immersed and the story takes over. I remember
:57:09. > :57:14.when I was writing the Tape, when the child died, and one child kills
:57:15. > :57:21.another child, even I read that back and I thought I cannot believe I did
:57:22. > :57:27.that. I think it was a natural progression for the story. Any
:57:28. > :57:33.violence is terrible. Unfortunately, nowadays, it is entertaining. I love
:57:34. > :57:40.your back story. You're quite an inspiration to a lot of people. Is
:57:41. > :57:44.this true? Your mum made 37 court appearances over eight months
:57:45. > :57:52.because you were bunking off school. I was terrible. I talk in schools. I
:57:53. > :57:59.always mention that can say, I wish I had taken advantage of the best
:58:00. > :58:06.education system in the world and it is free. I so wished I had. When I
:58:07. > :58:12.go into the prisons, I reiterate, tried to get some kind of education.
:58:13. > :58:19.One of the biggest sadnesses was how many young men cannot read. Used to
:58:20. > :58:25.read a lot when you were a kid even know you are not at school? I still
:58:26. > :58:31.average two books a week. When I finish my book, I read the book the
:58:32. > :58:37.day. My summer is sitting and reading around the pool. I do not
:58:38. > :58:49.leave the pool. I read and read. What is the best book you have read?
:58:50. > :58:54.I am reading Fever. Post-apocalyptic and set in South Africa. Daniel
:58:55. > :59:09.Ramsay. The book is called Betrayal. That is it. Have a very good
:59:10. > :59:10.Saturday.
