02/07/2017 Breakfast

Hello, this is Breakfast, with Ben Thompson and Rachel Burden.

A council and close watch. The government says nothing is off the

table when it comes to ensuring that survivors of Grenfell Tower flag at

the right -- -- Grenfell Tower fire receive the right help.

Good morning, it's Sunday the second of July.

Michael Gove suggest that the 1% pay cap may need to be reconsidered.

Iraqi forces say they've captured so called Islamic State's main base

in Mosul, and a final victory is in sight.

In sport, we'll reflect on that incredible Lions win in New Zealand.

And Geraint Thomas becomes the first Welshman in history to claim

the yellow jersey as he wins the first stage of the Tour de

Wimbledon gets under way tomorrow - but who's best placed to win?

We'll get some expert insight with a difference.

It is Eddie's time again to defend the title so I'm going to go for

Andy. That's very kind. You're not just saying that because

A quiet Sunday awaits with decent spells.

"Nothing is off the table" according to the government,

when it comes to making sure Kensington and Chelsea council

is able to respond properly to the Grenfell tower fire.

The local authority is set to elect a new leader this week -

following three high profile resignations over the past few days.

The devastating fire that claimed so many lives has opened up the gulf

between residents and the council rep that make elected to represent

them. Is this the first good decision you have made? The leader

is on his way out but labour Council Benazir, who has just returned to

her home in the shadow of Grenfell Tower says change is needed quickly.

Now that he has resigned, who is taking responsibility? Who will keep

our missiles to? Yes, he should resign but he needs to take

responsibility. People need to be in place to manage what is going on

here. As the community mourns the dead, the government says the new

leader will be chosen by the Council itself. Petitioners from --

commissioners from outside will not be sent in. The absolute priority

remains looking after the victims, their family and friends, making

sure they get everything they need and in doing so, when it comes to

local council, nothing is off the table. The council insist the

disaster was so huge any authority would have struggled to cope. But it

says it wants to learn lessons. When that new leader has been elected, we

have to revise how we have come across a we have to be more

proactive. We have to listen more, we have to show the residents that

we really are on their side. It is a tough task. In a warning from both

the government and residence if you must get it right this time.

Our correspondent, Simon Jones is outside

Simon, how soon is a new leader likely to be in place?

We understand there is going to be a meeting in the coming days and there

is no doubt that the council is under pressure from both the

government and local residents to sort this out quickly. The reason

the government decided not to sending commissioners is because

they have already sent in council officials from other councils across

London to help, both the government has set up a task force which is

meeting every two or three days. The government thinks it is making

progress on this issue. This morning, the local council has said

that it is not going to charge rent to residents of three blocks which

are in the shadow of Grenfell Tower, if those residents decide to return.

Up until now they have had no hot water in their houses because the

boiler that provided it was destroyed in the Grenfell Tower

fire. That is why they will have this rebate on their rent until next

year. We have heard from one group representing the survivors, that

they are very angry that one resident at least from Grenfell

Tower has actually been charged rent since the fire. The council has told

us if that happened, it should not have, and they will put it right. I

think it shows once again the feeling of residents that the

council here is not on top of the situation.

Later on in the programme we will be speaking to one of the former

residence of Grenfell Tower to hear how they have been coping since the

tragedy. Pressure's growing on Theresa May

and the Chancellor, Philip Hammond, to lift the 1% cap on pay increases

for public sector workers. In a newspaper article today,

the Environment Secretary Michael Gove suggests ministers should heed

the recommendations of the pay review bodies that are currently

examining the issue. Our political correspondent

Emma Vardy joins us Iraqi forces say they have captured

so-called Islamic State's main base in Mosul after days

of intense fighting. The militants have been driven

from a hospital compound where several senior IS leaders

were thought to have been hiding. Our correspondent Orla Guerin

reports from Mosul. A symbol of victory,

planted this morning in what was the main

base of IS in Mosul. Troops, weary after driving

the militants from this vast medical complex,

but vowing to hunt down "We will keep chasing them and those

who support them," says this man, "and we will throw

them in the garbage." Commanders say they have

removed a cancer here, "Our message is Daesh is not only

an Iraqi problem," says He was interrupted by

a booby-trapped bomb. The militants may have gone

from here, but they left And plenty of wreckage in Iraq's

second largest city. Well, this is what victory looks

like in Mosul after more The remaining IS militants have

been driven from here, This hospital complex,

which was a place of healing, now lies in ruins, like many

other parts of Mosul. The city may be regaining

its freedom, but there will be Some of those who fought to reclaim

this territory will never go home, Commanders admit that even

when it is, there is a real Three men have been arrested

on suspicion of murder - after a 24-year-old man

was stabbed to death. Officers were called to reports

of men fighting in the street at Grays in Essex

on Saturday morning. Three other men were taken

to hospital with serious injuries. At least 28 people have been injured

following a shooting at a nightclub Police say two people

are in a critical condition after the incident took place

around half past two It is not thought to have

been terror-related. One of South America's most

notorious drug barons has been arrested in Brazil -

after evading capture Luiz Carlos da Rocha is thought

to have run a cocaine production network in the jungles

of Bolivia, Colombia and Peru. He had undergone plastic surgery

to hide from the police. Britain is withdrawing

from an agreement which allows foreign countries to

fish in its waters. The government says leaving

the London Fisheries Convention will allow the UK to take

back control of access The UK fishing industry is a

multimillion pound business. But the government says Britain's exit from

the European Union is a chance to build a new domestic fishing policy.

The withdrawal from the London fisheries convention will prevent

vessels from France, Belgium, Germany, Ireland and the Netherlands

fishing within six and 12 nautical miles of the UK's coastline. It will

not be a quick process. Britain's departure from the convention will

take around it nine years. Michael Gove said the triggering the

withdrawal from the agreement would lead to a more competitive,

profitable and to sustainable injury to the whole of the UK. The

fisheries convention was signed in 1964. Currently allows other

countries to catch 10,000 tons of fish from UK waters, worth

approximately ?17 million. The government believes leaving the

convention will allow Britain to take back control of its fishing

policy. 28 kilograms of strawberries

and 10,000 litres of cream. Monday will also be the first day

for the Duchess of Cambridge in her new role as Patron

of the All England Lawn Tennis Club. She's been talking to Sue Barker

about her first memories of My first chance was queueing up on a

People's Sunday or Monday and being able to enter Wimbledon and the part

of what is amazing, the atmosphere is incredible. Whether you are

sitting on the hill or important enough to be on the ground caught it

is hugely special and I was quite fortunate that I got through. It was

late in the day. But, luckily, play continued quite late. Who would've

thought that she would queue up with the rest of us.

Sue Barker: Our Wimbledon is on BBC One, this afternoon

It's a pastime of many a Friday afternoon -

But if you think you've perfected the winning technique,

this is the World Championships, which have taken place in

Here they are, rolling through the streets of Olten,

some doing better than others, and some in fancy dress.

Crash helmets and knee-pads appear to be essential pieces of kit,

So next time you're a bit bored sat around the office,

maybe you could emulate the new world champions

Ben Wissenberger and Renato Gasati, who won a travel voucher worth 500

They have to go to their destination on a wheelie chair. That looks like

so much fun and! I am surprised at how quick they go. I can't imagine

that you would risk life and limb for 500 Swiss Francs. It is tempting

to do that at some point this morning in the studio. She would

look at some of the morning's papers? Lots of politics. The Sunday

Telegraph ten plots exit walkout. This suggests that when it comes to

the discussion about the so-called divorce bill on exiting the EU,

Theresa May use planning to walk out of talks if the EU and the 27

nations demand too much money from her. By the way, can I also show you

this fabulous picture? A celebration of the Lions win against New

Zealand. The first time they have defeated the All Blacks in over 20

years. It was an incredible game and we will hear more about it later on.

The front of the Sunday Times has a story about austerity but it is down

the bottom. The top story is about a rogue SAS unit accused of executing

civilians. Members of the special air service is alleged to have

covered up evidence that they killed an armed Afghan civilians in cold

blood and falsified mission reports. They described it as potential

warcrimes. Drawing attention to another brilliant picture here as

well. A British lines celebrating his win. The lead story again

concerns the row over public sector pay. A suggestion in the Sunday

Times this morning that Michael Gove has said the government may be

reconsidering the public sector pay cap. The blame game over last

month's general election continues here, Tory chaos over tuition fees

U-turn. It's as Theresa May is ready to consider a dramatic U-turn on

tuition fees for university, a key pledge of Jeremy Corbyn that he

scratch fees. It has been a pretty miserable week weatherwise. Lots and

lots of rain around. In fact, all kinds of records being broken for

June after the glorious hot weather that we had before then.

How does it look today, will leave? You know what? We were discussing

this yesterday. For the first weekend of July, not too bad. I know

I have cloud behind me but we were illustrating that this will all

break up and we will see a decent day today. This is East Sussex, just

one hour ago and we have had a little rain, not as much as I would

have liked for my garden. It has not brought enough or heavy rain. It

will clear away from the south-east. This is what we have at the moment

and we have sharp showers in the far north-west. As we go through the

day, the cloud across England and Wales will fin and break up and be a

pleasant day out there. If you have outside plants, you will not be too

disappointed. There is more of a breeze up into the far north-west

and we will see sharp showers. That averages are picking in the mid- 70s

in the south-east corner. Generally speaking a pleasant day. On a light

breeze it will be nice and easy. More cloud in Northern Ireland. The

same to northern England, then we get the showers. As much as 10- 20

millimetres on west facing slopes of Scotland, but to the far north it

will stay breezy. If you are struggling at the moment with

hayfever that's because the pollen count across England and Wales is

pretty high. Certainly worth bearing in mind if you are going to be

outside. Through the evening not much change in the story. We have

the rain sinking slowly southwards. The weak weather front will push its

way across England and Wales. A very weak affair which will produce a few

isolated showers. This system might bring heavier rain into Tuesday

across Northern Ireland in particular, but for the start of

Wimbledon it is looking pretty good. The weak weather front might run the

risk of an isolated shower, but we will be really unlucky if it

interrupts play for the opening day of the Wimbledon championships. This

is Monday in more detail. The weak front continues to sink southwards.

More cloud around on Monday, but we should, if we get brightness, it up

to 23 degrees. Fresh into the far north. More from me the morning.

Could it be good whether to fly an electric plane? Apparently that

could soon have a dramatic impact on the world. They are less noisy and

less polluting and a lot of experts say electric engines are the key to

building fleets of flying taxis in the future.

We have been given special permission to fly in an experimental

electric plane which is being shown in the UK for the first time.

It is a claim that will revolutionise flight. Not the

Spitfire, this. The eFusion looks quite ordinary, until you see it

being refuelled. No trucks of kerosene, they just change the

batteries. It is an experimental aircraft and the BBC has been

offered a rare flight. The really obvious thing is how lovely and

quiet it is. You don't get all the vibration. Right. It's so

comfortable and smooth and everything reacts so nicely. Is

elected the way it is going? Will we have elected planes in the future,

electric cabs? Definitely. We will have electric armour hydroelectric

planes, and you can get up to 50 seats. Maybe 100 seats. For regional

aircraft, transporting people over distances of 500 nautical miles. The

eFusion can fly for about 30 minutes on one charter, something they want

to improve. It will top 140 mph and has a range of about 60 miles. I am

going to try and experiment and take my headphones. Normally you do that

in an aircraft and it is so noisy party yourself think. Let's see what

it is like. Kenny Heaney OK? It's actually like being in a car on a

motorway! -- can you hear me OK? A lovely way to see the world! But

this isn't just about how we are going to go on holiday, it is about

how we are going to pop to the shops. Electric engines are cleaner

and quieter, making them perfect for flying taxis. Seems far-fetched?

Look at this! Dubai is testing an electric air cab later this year and

the giant taxi ride firm Uber says it wants customers flying around in

just six years. It's been seven decades since the jet engine changed

the world. Electric engines could have a similar impact on our future.

The very relieved face of rigid to be back on the ground! -- Richard.

But now let's hear Mark Kermode's take on this week's new releases

Hello and welcome to the Film Review on BBC News.

To take us through this week's cinema releases is Mark Kermode.

We have A Man Called Ove, which is a portrait

We have Despicable Me 3, the Minions are back.

Lots to talk about but my most important role this week is to get

the pronunciation right of A Man Called Ove.

It is adapted from a bestseller and the blurb says, it will make

you feel a new sympathy for the curmudgeons in your life.

The tag line on the movie poster is, you will love him as much

He wants to end his life but it keeps being distracted

by his neighbours to keep breaking the housing association rules,

of which he is a stickler for keeping to.

When a new family moves and he is furious about their presence,

their noise, generally them being there.

However, a woman sees behind that curudgeonly facade,

he starts to break down his resistance and amazingly,

A fantastic look of exasperation on his face.

Did you ever see The 100-year-old Man Who Climbed Out The Window And

I know the one you mean, I didn't, sadly but I read about it.

I struggled with that film, because it had that Scandi humour

think that I never really fell in with.

With this, it looks like that kind of film but then we start to learn

about his life story, young romance, childhood trauma,

his relationship with his wife which is idyllic but faces tragedy,

and you start to understand how he got to where he is and it is

There is an ongoing argument about whether Saabs or Volvos

Entire friendships fall out over these arguments but you start to see

He has a strong moral compass and is somebody who has suffered

Inside that is the person he used to be.

I went in thinking I would go for it, but I laughed and cried.

I like any movie that makes me cry because it means that it's working,

Despite the tag line, you will love him as much

as he hates you, which I thought would be a hard watch,

Alternatively, a third of any film, really, does the world need this?

Whether we need Despicable Me 3 is another question.

Here's the thing, I find the Minions funny.

They are running out of plots and they had to bring a twin brother

in to make the plot work, but you see the minions before

the titles and one pulls out a fart gun and I just started laughing.

I giggled like an idiot for the rest of the film because I think

The verbal staff is funny and they are perfect slapstick

creations, they remind me of what was funny

There is Steve Carrell and a story about Gru and his brother,

a new super villain but for me I just find the minions funny.

Even though I knew that I shouldn't, I did.

I am so fascinated by Risk, your third choice.

This is by Laura Poitras, who made Citizenfour,

about Edward Snowden which was brilliant.

She was in the hotel room when the revelations were made.

He came across as self-effacing and shy in that documentary.

Someone who did not want to be the centre of the story.

This is one about Julian Assange, about whom the adjectives

self-effacing and shy are not immediately applicable.

The film is very conflicted about its subject.

It looks like it began as a film about someone film maker admired,

The portrait we get is someone who is narcissistic,

controlling, self obsessed, and has no self-awareness.

Here is a clip in which Julian Assange and his associate are trying

to ring Hillary Clinton on the phone.

You are the emergency line and it will take a while?

Do you want to do that now and I will wait.

He would like to speak to her about that, yes.

OK, let me start by giving you my phone number.

Details including an unredacted cable set are about to go

I do not understand why you do not see the urgency in this.

To make it clear, we don't have a problem, you have a problem.

The story is well now rehearsed, I think people know

What is strange about this film is that it is very fragmented,

it is nothing like as good as Citizenfour.

You can tell that it is a film in which the film-maker's

relationship to the subject changed during it.

When the film was first seen about a year ago,

the film-makers said that Julian Assange demanded changes

and got lawyers involved, which he did not have the right

In fact, she has made the film that she wanted to make.

There is an irony in someone who is releasing information wanting

We have seen this before in other documentaries

and in the much-derided drama, the Fifth Estate.

On the one hand you get an inside view, but it is fragmented

and frustrating as a piece of film making because even

when they are talking about the election and things

you want the film to be more focused.

It feels like it is falling apart in the film maker's hand.

Julian Assange has said that the film will do his reputation

no good at all and I think that he is right.

Which some people may take as a recommendation in itself.

It depends where you stand on these things.

It is interesting, also that it was made by a woman.

It caused a fuss when it was released at Cannes

because it was simultaneously released on Netfix.

It is basically a story about a young girl in Korea who has

She follows it to America to stop it being reclaimed by a corporation

that wants to experiment on it and use it for food.

It is a film about where food comes from and how does capitalism hide

Tilda Swinton is a fantastically monstrous creation.

The film uses brilliant CGI to bring the giant pig to life.

The film is satirical and strange and I liked it.

It is thought provoting, it is not vegetarian propaganda

but it will give you food for thought.

I like that phrase, vegetarian propaganda.

I'll do something with that and use it.

Yeah, Heal The Living, a film that wasn't widely seen,

The story of a young man he was involved in an accident

and his heart may be used for a transplant to save someone

So on the one hand it's a film about the miracle of medicine,

It's a film about life and death, it is about

transcendence, it takes poetic meanders into strange areas.

It's really moving and very underplayed and does not feel

like it is manipulating your emotions, but I was totally

Everyone I know who has seen it has loved that.

I am genuinely looking forward to that.

See you next week and a quick reminder that you will find more

film reviews and news from across the BBC online.

And you can find all our previous programmes on the BBC

That's all for this week. Enjoy your cinema going.

Hello, this is Breakfast with Ben Thompson and Rachel Burden.

Coming up before seven Louise will have the weather for you.

But first, a summary of this morning's main news.

"Nothing is off the table" according to the government,

when it comes to making sure Kensington and Chelsea council

is able to respond properly to the Grenfell tower fire.

The local authority has been criticised for its response

to the Grenfell tower disaster - with three high profile resignations

It's set to appoint a new leader later this week.

Secretary of State for Sajid Javid said MPs will be keeping a close eye

Later we'll be speaking to one of the former residents of Grenfell

tower to hear how they've been coping since the tragedy -

Pressure is growing on Theresa May and the Chancellor, Philip Hammond,

to lift the 1% cap on pay increases for public sector workers.

In a newspaper article today, the Environment Secretary Michael

Gove suggests ministers should heed the recommendations of the pay

review bodies that are currently examining the issue.

Some backbench Tory MPs have argued austerity lost the party seats

Iraqi forces say they have captured so-called Islamic State's main base

in Mosul after days of intense fighting.

The militants have been driven from a hospital compound

where several senior IS leaders were thought to have been hiding -

but fighting is continuing around part of the Old City.

Three men have been arrested on suspicion of murder -

after a 24-year-old man was stabbed to death.

Officers were called to reports of men fighting in the street

at Grays in Essex on Saturday morning.

Three other men were taken to hospital with serious injuries.

At least 28 people have been injured following a shooting at a nightclub

Police say two people are in a critical condition

after the incident took place around half past two

It is not thought to have been terror-related.

One of South America's most notorious drug barons has been

arrested in Brazil - after evading capture

Luiz Carlos da Rocha is thought to have run a cocaine production

network in the jungles of Bolivia, Colombia and Peru.

He had undergone plastic surgery to hide from the police.

Britain is withdrawing from an agreement which allows

foreign countries to fish in its waters.

The government says leaving the London Fisheries Convention

will allow the UK to take back control of access

The agreement lets Irish, Dutch, French, German and Belgian vessels

fish within six and twelve nautical miles of the UK's coastline.

Andy Murray will start to defend his Wimbledon title tomorrow.

Ahead of his game, the number one seed has spoken about the last

minute nerves that still plague him before every match.

The closer you get to going out there you are nervous. As you start

to walk you start to wonder if you can play tennis, that you are

terrible. As soon as you are on the court, it is OK once you are out

there. Can you imagine that walk to get to the court? That noise as

well. It must be terrifying. Sue Barker: Our Wimbledon

is on BBC One, today at 20 past We've already brought you news

about the world office-chair racing championships, now it's time

to bring you up today with another It was a race to the finish,

as the World Championships took Couples had to overcome

a water obstacle course, The length of the race

is nearly 300 yards. Wives must wear a helmet,

and weigh 49 kilogrammes, And it doesn't have

to be your own wife, And those pictures at the

beginning... Is there a rule for ducking your partner's head in? Her

entire head went under. A deep breath before hand, obviously. It is

25 minutes to seven. Jess is here with sport. Please, save us from the

wife carrying. And I have so many questions. We will try and get you

some answers. Go on. So it does not have to be your wife? Surely that

would cause friction between husbands? Possibly. Yes. I would

like to know if anyone out there has actually competed. Please, get in

touch with us. I have so many questions. I will look at those

answers for you while you tell us the sport. Oh, my goodness. You do

not have to be a rugby fan to appreciate what the Lions achieved

yesterday. No-one expected them to do what they did and that was defeat

New Zealand. New Zealand never lose. They have a home record that

stretches back eight years. They have never lost and the Lions came

out yesterday. They would always need some luck on their side. I'm

not saying that that tackle from Sonny Bill Williams was Larko but it

did tip things in the favour of the Lions. It certainly did. It was the

first time an all Black has been sent off in 50 years. It just does

not happen. England were good on the day. Sorry, no, I should not say

England, Lions were brilliant on the day. One of their greatest

performances, I think. Head coach Warren Gatland says

the British Irish Lions should expect "a ferocious response"

from New Zealand, after beating them The deciding test is next Saturday

and flanker Shaun O'Brien could miss out if found guilty

of striking an opponent. He has a disciplinary

hearing this morning, while his team-mates

enjoy a few days off. We will see what happens over the

next few days, they have a couple of days off after Queenstown for a bit

of skiing and recreation stuff. That was a joke. Laughter make a couple

of days off to recover and then start to think about a tough test in

Auckland. It will be brutal. It is all very well being good and

gracious winners. We need to do the same when we are defeated. Tonight

we were defeated by a team played better than we did we to accept that

we have to go away now as an all Black team, prepare better, work

harder and come out to try and win the series next week.

Geraint Thomas has become the first Welshman in history,

to wear the yellow jersey of the Tour de France.

Just to warn you, there is some flash photography coming up.

He won this year's first stage in Germany,

a 14 kilometre time trial through Dusseldorf, after completing

it in an impressive time of just over sixteen minutes.

His Sky team-mate and defending champion Chris Froome came

through the day unscathed, finishing sixth and well ahead

Thomas says he'll be sticking to the plan,

to ride to support Froome's bid for a fourth Tour title -

but first he's looking forward to a stint in

The tour is what got me into cycling, as a ten-year-old

I used to run home to watch the last ten K.

To be on the other side of the camera and take

It is my eighth tour and to finally win

a stage, and then the yellow jersey is a bonus.

Novak Djokovic has completed the ideal warm-up for Wimbledon

by winning his first title since January.

He beat Gael Monfils in straight sets at Eastbourne.

Djokovic doesn't usually do much to acclimatise to grass courts -

but accepted a wildcard to play on the South Coast after his early

It's the first time he's played in the week before Wimbledon

The world number three Karolina Pliskova could be a good

bet for the women's title at Wimbledon.

She had a walkover in her semi-final after Johanna Konta's withdrawal

through injury, and beat former world number one Caroline Wozniacki

in straight sets, to win the Eastbourne title.

A record-breaking innings from England's Alex Hales helped

Nottinghamshire win the first trophy of the domestic cricket season.

They beat Surrey in the One Day Cup final.

Notts were chasing 297 to win but Hales wasted no time

He got his century in just 83 balls and went on to make the highest ever

He finished 187 not out, helping his side win

Australia's Cricketers' Association has said this morning

that their players will refuse to go on their A team tour of South Africa

later this week, unless progress is made in talks over

Players want to continue to get a percentage of revenue

while Cricket Australia want to fix salaries.

In the last hour, Manny Pacquiao has lost his WBO world welterweight

The Aussie beat the Filipino on a unanimous decision after twelve

38-year-old Pacquiao, who has won world titles in eight

divisions, had talked about trying to arrange a rematch

with Floyd Mayweather, but may now consider

England won their final warm-up match before

the Women's European Championship - captain Ellen White scored

both their goals as they beat Denmark 2-1 in Copenhagen.

This was her first time as a captain for this side.

That means the Lionesses head into the Euros with four wins

I thought it was full of resilience and character. You are dead right.

It was a fantastic result. Sweden came through a competitive

qualifier, and Denmark were cheered on by a full house and a big crowd.

For us, it was a resilient and character building wind which is

important. The British trials for next month's

World Championships continue in Birmingham today,

and selectors already have their first headache

after yesterday's action That's after CJ Ujah withdrew

from men's 100 metres. In his absence, Reece

Presscod won the final, They're both guaranteed

a spot in the squad, meaning the final third spot will go

to either Adam Gemilli or Ujah. The women's 100 metres

was more straightforward. Asha Phillip won her fourth British

title with Daryll Neita Dina Asher-Smith, who is returning

from injury, finished fourth. The 200 metres will be her main

event though in London next month. What a busy weekend. And I want to

talk to you about wife carrying a little later on. Perhaps when I come

back? Yes. I have the rules. I have some of your answers here. Specific

rules such as incurring a 15 second penalty for dropping your wife. More

on that later. Looking forward to it.

For supporters of Andy Murray, it's always tense watching him play,

but his grandparents Roy and Shirley Erskine,

They've done a special preview for BBC Scotland's Timeline

programme, which sent them to grill three giants in the world of tennis

on their grandson's chances of winning the tournament

We are the grandparents of Andy and Jamie and two of their biggest fans.

Believe me, we are very proud of what they have achieved. This

postbox in Dunblane marks Andy's Olympic gold-medal win in London and

we love seeing it everytime we pass it. But that's enough nostalgia.

Wimbledon is just around the corner. And we just love it. So we are

reporting on our grandson's chances. We are speaking to some great tennis

legends. It's very rare that I would be nervous before an interview but

I'm definitely nervous. Who do you think will win at Wimbledon this

year? Men's or ladies? I think we are talking about the men here.

Isn't that a loaded question? There are two people sharp this year,

Roger Federer and a certain person you may now named Andy Murray. Pre-

win Auburn, when I do a lot of different interviews are normally

say different person in each interview and then I will be right

somewhere. Cover all the bases. I felt like this was right to choose

Mr Murray. I think maybe it is Andy's time again so I will go with

Sandy. That is kind of you. You're not saying that because we are

grandparents? In part, yes. What an honest man. U 17 grand slams. And he

has only 13. No-one has played in a tough year than your handy so, no, I

would not say that I am better than him. He also has two Olympic gold

medals which I don't have. I got a couple of Davis cups. He has a Davis

Cup. I think... Is there anything you change about him? If I said

there was one area that I would change, I would say the one area

where I would probably think that the others are better than him on a

consistent basis is that type of... That emotional self-control on the

court. That would be one area. Another area that he could massively

improve if backgammon. He was always very average of backgammon. I should

elaborate and paying his debts backgammon. Very... A good payer is

a quick pay and he has always been a slow payer of debts.

Well, it sounds like Andy is in pretty good shape. We usually go to

Wimbledon but, sadly, this year we had to settle for watching it on the

telly. Let's see if my nerves can take it.

Got a feel, -- what a feeling for the grandparents!

What will the weather be like? Not bad for Wimbledon! I think the

organisers will be happy. This is the story at the moment. East

Sussex, cloudy skies. There it is. Decent spells already. The only

place staying miserable if the far north of Scotland. A beautiful start

in Devon this morning. The sunshine will dominate the story through the

bulk of the country. Not bad Sunday in prospect. Quite pleasant as well.

We have sharp showers in the far north and west and here they might

linger for much of the day. Some of them possibly heavy. Maybe the odd

rumble of thunder. Elsewhere in the sunshine it feels pleasantly warm.

High teens, may be low 20s, baby as high as 24. Very nice indeed in the

south-east. A sunny afternoon for many. If you have outside plant that

will keep you happy. More cloud towards the Scottish border. A few

sharp showers into the far north-west of Scotland. Top

temperatures of 14- 15 and the winds gusting to up to 30 mph. If you

suffer from hay fever the pollen count is pretty high. That's worth

bearing in mind. As we go through Sunday evening and overnight the

weather front is going to continue to trundle steadily southwards. A

very weak affair. Cloud and rain pushing into northern England and

Wales by the day. That could increase the risk of cloud and maybe

the chance of a shower towards Wimbledon on Monday, but this is the

only heavy rain that we are likely to see into Northern Ireland and

north-west England. The risk of an isolated shower on Monday, but all

in all not looking bad. This is salad, grown

the old-fashioned way. You know, in shipping containers

under LED lights without soil in an optimised water

and nutrient mix. As Farmer Spock called it,

good old hydroponics. In all seriousness, it's been

suggested that the type of intense farming going on here at Local Roots

in Los Angeles could help solve the world's food

problems in years to come. Transport costs can be

produced by growing plants wherever they are needed,

even in areas of famine where You get higher volumes and many more

crop cycles during the year, too. Lettuce can be grown in 30

days instead of up to 90 outdoors, and a new crop can

be grown immediately. All in all, one of these containers

yields the same as five acres It's very similar to the strawberry

farm that we saw in Paris in the spring and in Miyagi in Japan

in 2015 where the land had been But this project has much bigger

ambitions and this one is also using artificial intelligence

to make some quite unusual tweaks. But before we talk about

the vegetables of the future, we are off to San Francisco

where Kat Hawkins has been looking I've come to this lab

in the heart of Silicon Valley They claim to have invented

the food of the future, a completely meatless meat made

entirely of plants. It's actually remarkably important

to get that state of mind perspective but actually it's also

useful for interpreting The aim is to reverse engineer

the flavour and texture of meat And as someone who very much

enjoys their meat tasting like meat, I wanted to find out how

they're doing it. What is it about the flavour of meat

that makes it so damn delicious? Why is it so agreeable,

what is it that triggers your mind There is a lot that goes into that

and it turns out that flavour is about 75 or 80% aroma

and about 20 or 25% taste. Impossible Foods found that the key

ingredient that gives meat its characteristic irony taste

is heme, a molecule found in most living things

and especially in animal muscle. So this is your magic

ingredient, right? And it provides the explosion

of flavour you get that makes the difference between white meat

chicken with a beefburger. The company has recently flipped

the switch on its meatless meat-packing factory as it

ramps up production. They will eventually make 4 million

burgers a month and the next aim is to move into chicken,

pork and lamb. But it's one thing being a scientist

who's enthralled by food tech and another to be a chef,

using the ingredients produced I think we eat way too

much meat in general. So I think this is a way to be

as close as possible to how The Impossible burger is now

the only one Rocco has on his menu It seems like at this stage it might

be a novelty for Silicon Valley diners with money to spend

but of course, as always, It tastes like mushrooms, but I know

there's no mushrooms in there. But it doesn't taste

quite like meat to me. Yes, it's a little bit

leaner, as a meat. But it looks like it -

it's got that kind of umami flavour It tasted good as I was eating it

but afterwards it left a slightly strange taste in my mouth -

very strong, very irony. Still, it's healthier than meat

and has zero cholesterol What comes across talking to Rocco,

though, is how important it is for his customers

that the flavour is close to meat But what if you could serve actual

animal flesh without a single That is what several companies,

including this small tech start-up in the heart of Silicon Valley

are working on. They plan to grow actual

fish from stem cells. It might sound like

an unnerving prospect Fish consumption is demanding,

fish demand is rising 52% of all fisheries

are fully exploited. 25% above that are in collapse,

they are overextended. So we only have 23% of the world's

fisheries left that we can use So if we still want to eat fish

at the rate that we're eating it, Finless Foods takes a small

sample of cells from real One cell can theoretically become

one tonne of fish meat We'll be on the market in three

years with products that are new versions of fish that people

haven't had before and in 5 or 6 years we'll have steaks and filets

like the fish that you currently eat at the supermarket, just like what's

inside of the fish that you'd And they're not the only company

working on what some Just this week Hampton Creek claimed

they will hit the stores And around the corner

at Memphis Meats, they have already produced fried chicken and meatballs

from stem cells. But at $80,000 for a pound of beef,

there's a long way to go. Scaling up will mean finding

a new medium to help Currently, the blood

of calf foetuses is used, which is extensive and of course,

if you don't want to hurt animals, With the population due to increase

to 9.7 billion by 2050, many people feel current approaches

to food production Cultured meat promises to reduce

environmental impacts and meat looks set to be the latest thing to be

given the Silicon Valley overhaul. Much like we expect from our phones,

from our cars, that it will be better, cheaper,

faster, safer, year by year, we should expect the same

thing from our food. But once you start thinking

about food, a cow, as a pure piece of technology,

and you apply those same technological insights we use

elsewhere in our lives, you can start really thinking

about what food should be, I think I'll stick to

the salad for the moment. Which is lucky, because I'm

surrounded by the stuff. The thing that really hits

you inside one of these It's just lovely, all this

concentrated fresh lettuce. And you don't even get this,

I don't think, in an open-air field. Because it will float away

but in here - wow, it's lovely. I'm inside what is called a food

computer, where every aspect of the plant's growth cycle -

the temperature, nutrient mix, humidity and light

is monitored and controlled. This kind of computer-controlled

hydroponics is allowing food scientists to not just replicate

but improve on Mother So every plant that we grow has

a finely tuned growing algorithm to optimise its growth,

its yield and its flavour profiles Not only does each variety

get its own unique growing conditions but artificial

intelligence and computer vision are monitoring the plants,

looking out for and treating any Local Roots hopes to place

between 20 and 50 of its so-called 'terrafarms' right next

to supermarkets' local It means the veg won't have

to travel so far and it will be I've always needed a dressing

on my salad because I thought it tasted quite bland without it

but this is really full of flavour. I could even eat an entire bowl

of this without any dressing. But some researchers

don't like the idea of individual companies doing

research by themselves. Putting life in a box

is incredibly complex. It requires biology as much

as chemistry, as much as plant And so right now it's being tackled

by a lot of start-ups and it's hard for those start-ups to have such

a multidisciplinary approach. This is why all of our

work is open sourced - the hardware, software -

so we can get people thinking on the issues and we can

ask them for advice. At MIT's media lab,

the Open Agricultural Initiative, or OpenAg, wants to create

a worldwide collection One of the things that we've

invented here we call the personal food computer and it's like a hacker

kit for plants. What we've done is distributed

all the plants, all the materials, We now have a community of over 40

countries, over 1000 people. The great thing is that

their experiences are being Artificial intelligence can look

for patterns among these data points which are the results of thousands

of experiments and the more wide-ranging those

experiments, the better. We might learn inside of a food

computer what set of climate attributes causes the best

expression of protein in a snow pea. Now we might say, hey, where

in the world are these collections And then we should plant

that genetics, those So not only might food

computers improve on nature but they could also teach us more

about how to get the best out And that's it for this short cut

and we'll see you soon. Hello, this is Breakfast,

with Rachel Burden and Ben Thompson A Council under close watch -

the government says "nothing is off the table" when it comes to ensuring

survivors of the Grenfell Tower fire We have heard this morning about how

more help is needed for residents of the Grenfell Tower site. The local

council faces more resignations and we will hear what it means for

families affected. It is Sunday, July two. Also on the programme...

Pressure on the government over public sector pay.

Amid signs of growing concerns about austerity,

the Environment Secretary Michael Gove suggests the 1% cap may need

We'll take an exclusive look at an experimental electric plane.

In sport, we'll reflect on that incredible Lions victory

And Geraint Thomas becomes the first Welshman in history to claim

the yellow jersey as he wins the first stage of the Tour de

Wimbledon gets under way tomorrow - but who's best placed to win?

We'll get some expert insight with a difference.

I think maybe it is Andy's time again so I will go with Andy.

You're not saying that because we are grandparents?

Good morning. A quiet Sunday a weights. Breeze in the far

north-west with a scattering of showers but elsewhere decent sunny

spells and a fairly pleasant warm day. More details coming up later

on. "Nothing is off the table"

according to the government, when it comes to making sure

Kensington and Chelsea council is able to respond properly

to the Grenfell tower fire. The local authority is set to elect

a new leader this week - following three high profile

resignations over the past few days. The devastating fire that claimed

so many lives has opened up a gulf between residents and the council

elected to represent them. Is this the first good

decision you have made? The leader is on his way out

but Labour Council member Benazir, who has just returned

to her home in the shadow of Grenfell Tower, says

change is needed quickly. Now that he has resigned,

who is taking responsibility? Yes, he should resign

but he needs to take People need to be in place to manage

what is going on here. As the community mourns the dead,

the government says the new leader will be chosen by

the Council itself. Commissioners from outside will not

be sent in. It is morning it will intervene if

it needs to. The absolute priority remains

looking after the victims, their family and friends,

making sure they get everything they need and in doing

so, when it comes to local council, nothing

is off the table. The council insist the disaster

was so huge any authority But it says it wants

to learn lessons. When that new leader

has been elected, we have to revise how we have come

across and we have to be more We have to listen more,

we have to show the residents And a warning from both

the government and residents - Our correspondent,

Simon Jones is outside We heard there in the report that

nothing was off the table but I suppose the question is how soon

will a new leader be in place? As I understand, the meeting was due to

take place early this week and no doubt the Council is under pressure

from both the government and local residents to sort this out quickly.

I think the reason the government decided not to send in commissioners

is a cause they have already sent in experts from other councils across

London and the government has also set up a task force which is meeting

every two or three days to assess the situation. In another

development we have heard from the Council this morning that it is not

going to charge rent to residents of three blocks in the shadow of rental

tower. No more rent this year. The earliest will be January of next

year because those residents, have had no hot water since the fire

because the boiler that provided it was under rental tower and has been

destroyed. We have also heard from one group that supports residents

that at least one person who was living in Grenfell Tower in itself

has found that since the fire, that person has had rent deducted from

their recount. The counsellor told us we should not have happened and

they will put that right. Perhaps, another sign that residents need

convincing but councillors on top of the situation.

In a few minutes we'll be speaking to one of the former residents

of Grenfell tower to hear how they've been coping

since the tragedy - that's at ten past seven.

Iraqi forces say they have captured so-called Islamic State's main base

in Mosul after days of intense fighting.

The militants have been driven from a hospital compound

where several senior IS leaders were thought to have been hiding -

but fighting is continuing around part of the Old City.

Three men have been arrested on suspicion of murder -

after a 24-year-old man was stabbed to death.

Officers were called to reports of men fighting in the street

at Grays in Essex on Saturday morning.

Three other men were taken to hospital with serious injuries.

Pressure's growing on Theresa May and the Chancellor, Philip Hammond,

to lift the 1% cap on pay increases for public sector workers.

In a newspaper article today, the Environment Secretary Michael

Gove suggests ministers should heed the recommendations of the pay

review bodies that are currently examining the issue.

Our political correspondent Emma Vardy joins us

Good morning. What Michael Gove has come out and said today, is this an

indication that this is a direction that the government will move in or

is it more evidence that the Cabinet is at loggerheads? Cabinet are

certainly split but there has been increasing hints that the end on

public sector pay freezes could be in sight. Cabinet minister Michael

Gove has given yet another signal on this in an interview with the Sunday

Times. We are saying that the government may begin to ease up on

this. Because of the drive to get down the deficit, because of

austerity, 5 million public sector workers have had, effectively, a 1%

cap on their pay rise ever since 2013. But now pay review bodies are

expected to recommend rises soon. What Michael Gove has said is that

ministers should respect these recommendations. Social workers be

feeling more domestic? This does not mean that the freezes it will be

scrapped all of a sudden but what we are thinking is that Downing Street

has told us that, actually, they will look at things on a

case-by-case basis. This is all part of growing pressure on the

government over austerity. Britain is withdrawing

from an agreement which allows foreign countries to

fish in its waters. The government says leaving

the London Fisheries Convention will allow the UK to take

back control of access The UK fishing industry

is a multimillion pound business. But the government says

Britain's exit from the European Union is a chance to

build a new domestic fishing policy. The withdrawal from the London

Fisheries Convention will prevent vessels from France, Belgium,

Germany, Ireland and the Netherlands fishing within six and 12 nautical

miles of the UK's coastline. Britain's departure

from the convention will take Michael Gove said that triggering

the withdrawal from the agreement would lead to a more competitive,

profitable and to sustainable The London fisheries

convention was signed in 1964. It currently allows other countries

to catch 10,000 tons of fish from UK waters, worth

approximately ?17 million. The government believes leaving

the convention will allow Britain to take back control

of its fishing policy. 28 kilograms of strawberries

and 10,000 litres of cream. Monday will also be the first day

for the Duchess of Cambridge in her new role as Patron

of the All England Lawn Tennis Club. She's been talking to Sue Barker

about her first memories of My first chance was queueing up

on a People's Sunday or Monday and being able to enter

Wimbledon and the part of what is amazing,

the atmosphere is incredible. Whether you are sitting

on the hill or fortunate enough to be on the ground court

it is hugely special and I was quite But, luckily, play

continued quite late. Sue Barker: Our Wimbledon

is on BBC One, this afternoon It is ten minutes past seven. Three

high-profile resignations, calls for government intervention and hundreds

still All against the backdrop of the

charred remains of Grenfell Tower. As former residents try to rebuild

their lives, levels of mistrust and anger have been growing. Many are

now seeking clarity from the local council. We will speak to one of

those residents who lived on the 15th floor. He joins us from London.

Good morning to you and thank you for taking the time to speak to us.

First of all, I want to ask how you are coping and your family, your

wife and your children are coping? Very bad. Very bad. Emotionally

we... There is no energy any more. We tried to keep going with the days

that have gone and days that are coming but still we have not seen

any improvement regarding our situation. Our opinion is that it is

a failure. We were hearing that this will happen and that will happen, we

will have a solution. We have not seen any of that. We have seen

mistake after mistake, day by day, decisions they are making for us,

the plan they are making for us, we are not seeing anything, any

improvement regarding the resident finesse. The residents are in a very

bad situation regarding hotels all how they are being treated. For me

it is, you know, there is no longer any excuse. There is no emergency

any more. It is about acting, taking the action and moving forward and

sorting it out. That is the only way we can go further and we can find a

way for peace. But my personal opinion, the leader of the Council

gave his resignation, he gave a statement on TV, in public and he

said he was resigning because he does not want to compromise the

public enquiry. What statement to give to the public like that, is

that the only reason we so much that he does not want to come at a public

enquiry? His resignation letter, the reason? Is it because he failed to

manage? He failed to give a decision in appropriate ways? He failed to

have, as a government, inspections and controlled visits regarding fire

testing, regarding... Is it? I don't want to enter wrap but there are so

many elements here. I would like to break some of them down so we can

look at what is being done or not being done. First of all, the

housing situation. As we said, you lived on the 15th floor. Where are

you now? Explain to me your housing situation. Now we are still in a

hotel. We are still in a hotel. Most of us are still in hotels. All of

them, still in hotels because they are refusing the solution is brought

to us, they are refusing to leave the hotel having, for example, a

one-year contract for a 2-bedroom flat, families are entitled to

3-bedroom flats and they want to put them into some kind of place that is

not for them. So a short-term contract is she is clearly one of

the problems. Yes, indeed. You can not take traumatised people who have

been through a locked, a situation like that and tell them we will give

you a one-year contract and after that we will give you a permanent

house. It will take about 12 months. You are talking one-year, why don't

you ask? Why don't you ask these people what they want? Why? Why are

you making decisions on behalf of them? Why are you making decisions

on behalf of the residents? The council tells us it has been working

with agencies and I would like to quote a letter, to rehouse and

assist every affected households from rental tower and other impacted

families living nearby. A dedicated social worker has been allocated to

every affected households. Has that happened in your case? In my case,

no. Not yet. My wife received a call and she refused. She refused the

offer because... Because they are putting a price on our life. That's

why I call it an offer. I do not call it a solution. At the offer

that the council suggested was that they would give you someone who

could work on your behalf to make sure you got answers. Did you refuse

that help or the offer of the housing? I would like to have, I

would like to be able... The social worker, there are people calling us,

a social worker, yes. She is dealing with passport and medical

certificates, all of this kind of needs, which is like identification,

licences, yes. But it is bigger than that. It is bigger. It is not about

what a social worker is helping for and what they are doing. We

appreciate that. But it is not their job. Further than that we need the

leaders, we need psychiatrists to deal with this situation. We need

them to come to us to speak to us. We need them to explain more um to

give us their agenda. What is their agenda? We had a situation where

there was a programme on TV, the Housing Minister he said I will deal

with each family individually and myself, I will sort it out, the

problem. Yes. Yes. No problem. But it is not about him. It is not up to

him. It is not just him making the decision because after that was

going to happen, if anything goes wrong, the government, the Prime

Minister, the secretary said they never made this decision, the

decision came from him. Because it was a sensitive situation and he

needed to respond and provide an answer. Absolutely. We don't want

that to happen. I am sorry to interrupt, there are clearly many

issues for us to discuss but thank you very much for sharing your

story. There are so many psychological issues that go with

it. Let's get the weather forecast. How is looking?

Even where we've got sharp showers it still looks beautiful in the

Highlands. The far north and west of Scotland is seen the worst of the

weather today. This cloud bringing sharp showers and strong winds. It

is cloudy with a few spits and spots of rain in the Sussex and Kent

coast, but behind it you can see a clearance. This is Devon already. It

will be a promising day for most with lots of blue sky and sunshine

coming through and temperatures pleasant. About 19- 23 degrees

generally across the country. We continue to see wet and windy

weather into the far north-west, but for most the afternoon look somewhat

like this. Across the Cornwall and South Wales we have 19- 21 degrees.

A light breeze. Perhaps top temperatures of 21- 23 possible

somewhere in the south-east through the afternoon. A little bit of fair

weather cloud, but a promising day for many. Northern Ireland and the

far north-west, cloud and sharp showers driven along by gusty winds

as well. 20- 30 mph possible. The weather front will continue to move

further south. Ahead of that we are looking at some pretty high pollen

levels across England and Wales. That front will move certainly --

steadily southwards by Monday. It moves in the north Wales and behind

it we start to see fresher conditions. But I suspect as we move

into Monday that weather front is a weak affair by then. The odd shower

as it moves south and east. This is the only significant rain eventually

into Tuesday in Northern Ireland and north-west England, CPI and -- so if

you are heading to Wimbledon looks promising. Unlucky to catch a

shower. Into Wednesday it will be warm and staying dry.

There was just enough sunshine for me yesterday to get the lawnmower

out. I raced around the garden and then the rain came down.

Electric airplanes could soon have a dramatic impact on the world.

They're less noisy and less polluting than the ones flying

around today, and plenty of experts believe electric engines are the key

to building fleets of flying taxis in the future.

The BBC's been given special permission to fly in an experimental

electric plane, which is being shown in the UK for the first time.

Our transport correspondent Richard Westcott went for a ride.

It's a plane that will revolutionise flight.

The eFusion looks quite ordinary, until you see it being refuelled.

No tanker trucks and kerosene, you just change the batteries.

It's an experimental aircraft and the BBC has been offered

The really obvious thing is how lovely and quiet it is.

It's so comfortable and smooth and everything reacts so nicely.

Will we have electric planes in the future, electric cabs?

We will have electric planes, hydroelectric planes,

For regional aircraft, transporting people over distances

The eFusion can fly for about 30 minutes on one charge,

It'll top 140 mph and has a range of around 60 miles.

I am going to try and experiment now.

Normally, if you do that in an aircraft, it's so noisy

Let's see what it's like when I talk into the microphone.

It's actually like being in a car on a motorway!

But this isn't just about how we're going to go on holiday,

it's about how we are going to pop to the shops.

Electric engines are cleaner and quieter, making them perfect

Dubai is testing an electric air cab later this year and the giant taxi

ride firm Uber says it wants customers flying around

It's been seven decades since the jet engine

Electric engines could have a similar impact on our future.

He looks glad to be out of that. An interesting insight into those

flying planes of the future. You're watching Breakfast,

from BBC News. It's time now for a look

at the newspapers. Edwina Currie is here to tell us

what's caught her eye. Good morning. We will speak to you

now as we look inside the Sunday Times. Michael Gove has come out and

here is a man who has had an interesting political career in

recent years. In and out favour. We don't quite know at the moment

whether he is in... First of all, I love the photo. What is he doing? He

certainly looks like he is finding it a little hot. He gave an

interview to the paper. A lot of this is interesting. He is now back

at Environment Secretary, so very much locked in the Brexit

Negotiations. The first thing he is doing is make sure we come out with

a Common Fisheries Policy. He says, right, 200 miles around. I don't

know if the new aircraft carrier launched last week will be part of

patrolling those waters. It is at least possible. But that's good. He

is also saying firmly that farmers and landowners would get big

subsidies in the future. So this is a warning to the Queen and others,

that you won't get big subsidies in the future and maybe there will be

another way of getting farming subsidies to landowners. He is also

talking about public sector pay and whether the government should look

at that. I think Number 10 have been suggesting that maybe this is

something they will review, this is a man who in the past has been

entrenched in the view is that the public sector had it good in the way

he has expressed it for some time and the public sector reform of

pensions and so on. So this is a bit up and about turn. Now he says we

have to look at experts and listen to them. The austerity thing is

interesting. We are coming up towards the budget in November and I

think it is at least possible that the pay cut will be lifted for key

workers, perhaps. Weather there are difficulties in recruiting -- where

there are. The armed forces is the obvious one. So maybe they will look

at tax rates. It was the manifesto gave them the opportunity if they

wanted to do that, they aren't stuck with the previous manifesto. So it

will be interesting to see what happens. In other words, brace

yourselves, this could be a tough budget. Let's turn to something

different. This is the Mail on Sunday. This is the subject of a

film that in the 90s. Where the men could give birth. You are sort of

eye rolling. I'm thinking, you want to have our baby? You want to go

through pregnancy ayes feel free! If you took over maybe we could do

things like running the banks! We are getting into some big gender

stereotyping. Explain this story for us. A couple of quite senior experts

have been looking at the right and wrong is of doing this and whether

it is physically possible. It looks like it is physically possible. This

is specifically for transgender women? Transgender people. The

photograph is of a young woman called Haydn cross. She is having a

baby any minute. The ethics are you don't discriminate and make sure

people can do whatever they can do. The question of course is whether it

should be on the NHS and I think possibly not. It is an unnamed

critic. Critics say the NHS shouldn't waste precious resources

simply to allow transgender women to experience an authentic female

experience, but if you are transgender you believe you are

authentic anyway. When I was at Westminster I said you have to look

up resources. Interesting, the front page of the Telegraph is talking

about the number of IVF treatment is being restricted around the country

according to health trusts. It is a postcode lottery. They are

restricted. They say the money has to go for things that have greater

need. I want to talk about colourful birds. I am wearing colourful birds.

This is all about parakeets. This is a serious issue. This is about evil

immigrants coming in and taking over our country. Green parakeets are all

over at the south of England that have been found as far north as

Sheffield. The question is, is this a good thing or not? They are

obviously a foreign species. They pose a risk to native wildlife? If

they were it would be much more obvious. There are things that come

in that are quite dangerous and we try to get rid of those. If you are

trying to get the birds you get rid of rats. There was a wonderful

story, that the parakeets in west London flew out of the studios in

Ealing, they were filming the African Queen and Katharine Hepburn.

That's apparently where the parakeets came from. I do feel sorry

for the chap in charge who is in the department of environment because

his name is Dave Parrot! We will have more from you later.

The Andrew Marr Programme is on BBC One this morning

No parakeets or ducks but I have Michael Gove, who you may remember

went for the Tory leadership, failed, was sacked by Theresa May

and is now back at Environment Secretary. We will talk about real

issues, tax and spending with him. I am joined by Jonathan Ashworth,

Labour's spokesperson, to talk about what Labour will offer public sector

workers. I have two backbenchers who made the news. Heidi Alexander who

is against the DUP agreement, and someone from Labour who forced a big

change on abortion in Northern Ireland from the government. That,

plus Julian Fellowes, thus many more like a great American writer. The

busy 9am. Good stuff. See you later. Stay with us, the headlines are

coming up. Hello, this is Breakfast

with Ben Thompson and Rachel Burden. Coming up before eight, Louise

will have the weather for you. But first, a summary of this

morning's main news. "Nothing is off the table"

according to the government, when it comes to making sure

Kensington and Chelsea council is able to respond properly

to the Grenfell tower fire. The local authority has been

and the Chancellor, Philip Hammond, to lift the 1% cap on pay increases

the Environment Secretary Michael Gove suggests ministers should heed

so-called Islamic State's main base in Mosul after days

of intense fighting. The militants have been driven

from a hospital compound where several senior IS leaders

were thought to have been hiding - but fighting is continuing around

brought you news about the world office chair racing championships.

Now it is time to bring you up-to-date with another global

sporting event. Wife carrying. Look at this! Straight into the water.

It was a race to the finish, as the World Championships took

Couples had to overcome a water obstacle course,

The length of the race is nearly 300 yards.

It does not sound far but as you can see it looks pretty difficult.

Wives must wear a helmet, and weigh 49 kilogrammes,

And it doesn't have to be your own wife,

As was proved on Breakfast a few years ago. Our very own death

carried Mike. This is how they got on. Did not quite get on. It took

some getting used to. See, technically, and if I have been

reading the rules this morning, Jess, you are asking me the rules.

Technically, according to official rules, March and breach that makes

their fire in breach because the has to carry the woman. That is the

current rules. Is there a husband or partner carrying championship? Let

me talk you through some of the rules. You must carry your own wife,

your neighbour 's wife or one that, quote, you found further afield.

Pretty broad remit. Pretty good as that was a rule for life. A minimum

weight of 49 kg or you need to carry a weighted rucksack as well as your

wife. And if you drop the said wife you incur a 15 second penalty. What

if you injure your partner wife, whoever is on your back. Is there

someone that you can sub in? Oh, maybe you find another wife from

further afield... Apparently, when you carry them upside down, the wife

of a woman get reacquainted with the re- render the man, that is the

Estonian carry, named after the country that won the last 11 wife

carrying championship. Well done to Estonia for doing so well. And that

is all sport for BBC Breakfast this morning. No! There is so much to

talk about! It was ridiculous yesterday. When the All Blacks went

down to 14 men and you thought that the Lions were in with a chance, the

All Blacks were so good in the second half, so clinical and you

thought we were going to lose again. But they brought it back. They

certainly did. In the last few minutes.

Head coach Warren Gatland says the British Irish Lions should

expect "a ferocious response" from New Zealand, after beating them

The deciding test is next Saturday and flanker Shaun O'Brien could miss

out if found guilty of striking an opponent.

He has a disciplinary hearing this morning,

while his team-mates enjoy a few days off.

We will see what happens over the next few days,

they have a couple of days off after Queenstown for a bit

A couple of days off to recover and then

start to think about a tough test in Auckland.

It is all very well being good and gracious winners.

We need to do the same when we are defeated.

Tonight we were defeated by a team played

better than we did we to accept that we have to go away now

as an All Black team, prepare better, work

harder and come out to try and win the series next week.

Geraint Thomas has become the first Welshman in history,

to wear the yellow jersey of the Tour de France.

Just to warn you, there is some flash photography coming up.

He won this year's first stage in Germany,

a 14 kilometre time trial through Dusseldorf, after completing

it in an impressive time of just over sixteen minutes.

His Sky team-mate and defending champion Chris Froome came

through the day unscathed, finishing sixth and well ahead

Thomas says he'll be sticking to the plan,

to ride to support Froome's bid for a fourth Tour title -

but first he's looking forward to a stint in

The tour is what got me into cycling.

I remember as a ten-year-old I used to run home to watch the last ten K.

It is my eighth tour and to finally win

a stage, and then the yellow jersey is a bonus.

Novak Djokovic has completed the ideal warm-up for Wimbledon

The world number three Karolina Pliskova could be a good

England won their final warm-up match before

the Women's European Championship - captain Ellen White scored

both their goals as they beat Denmark 2-1 in Copenhagen.

This was her first time as a captain for this side.

That means the Lionesses head into the Euros with four wins

I thought it was full of resilience and character. You are dead right.

It was a fantastic result. Sweden came through a competitive

qualifier, and Denmark were cheered on by a full house and a big crowd.

For us, it was a resilient and character building win

which is important.

The British trials for next month's World Championships continue

in Birmingham today, and selectors already

17 hours until Wimbledon and we are counting down to the weather should

be good. It should be OK for the first few days at least. Thank you,

Jess. As you heard, the top tennis players from around the world are

getting ready for Wimbledon it starts tomorrow. One couple who will

be on the edge of their seats while they watch used Andy and Jamie

Murray's grandparents. They have done a special preview for BBC's

column's Timeline programme which sent them to ask three giants in the

world of tenants to make tennis about the chances for their

grandson. We are Andy and Jamie's grandparents

and two of their biggest fans. Believe me, we are very proud

of what they have achieved. This postbox in Dunblane marks

Andy's Olympic gold-medal win in London and we love seeing it

every time we pass it. So we are reporting

on our grandson's chances. We are speaking to some

great tennis legends. It's very rare that I would be

nervous before an interview Who do you think will win

at Wimbledon this year? I think we are talking

about the men here. There are two people

who look sharp this year, Roger Federer and a certain person

you may know named Andy Murray. Usually when I do a lot

of different interviews, I normally say a different person

in each interview and then I felt like this was right

to choose Mr Murray. I think maybe it is Andy's time

again so I will go with Andy. You're not saying that

because we are grandparents? No-one has played in a tougher

era than your Andy so, no, I would not say that

I am better than him. He also has two Olympic gold

medals which I don't have. Is there anything you

would change about him? If I said there was one area

that I would change, I would say the one area

where I would probably think that the others are better than him

on a consistent basis That emotional

self-control on the court. Another area that he could massively

improve if backgammon. He was always very

average with backgammon. I should elaborate and paying his

debts from backgammon. A good payer is a quick payer

and he has always been a slow Well, it sounds like Andy

is in pretty good shape. We usually go to Wimbledon but,

sadly, this year we had to settle looking forward to that. The best

tennis coverage coming up next week on BBC Radio 5 Live.

You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

The main stories this morning: The government says "nothing is off

the table" when it comes to ensuring the victims of the Grenfell Tower

The Prime Minister is facing growing calls from within Tory ranks to ease

austerity, especially around public sector pay.

We've heard about Andy Murray's chances at Wimbledon. How will the

weather hold-up? We are all breathing a sigh of relief because

the weather forecast looks pretty decent for the first few days. There

is the risk on Monday of maybe the odd spot of rain. Nothing really

significant addition to cause any issues, at up to 23 degrees. Maybe

warmer through Wednesday. Worth bearing in mind if you've got

tickets and are heading toward centre court. Elsewhere today there

is cloud around and showers. Even so the Highlands were pretty

impressive, but the cloud will break up for many of us today and we will

have sunshine coming through. We still have showers through the

Sussex and Kent coastline, but already behind some beautiful spells

of sunshine. This was Devon about an hour ago. Most of us have decent dry

weather. The wind is to feature in the far north-west. This is where

the heaviest rain is likely to be. Why the afternoon most of you will

be happy with this story. If you've got any outdoor plans you won't need

any extra layers. It will be pleasantly warm. We might see 23- 24

somewhere in southern England through the afternoon. A little bit

of cloud coming and going, but that's about it. Bigger cloud across

the Lake District, the Isle of Man and into Northern Ireland, but it

should stay dry in daylight hours. We could see as much as 20

millimetres along west facing slopes. Maybe the odd rumble of

thunder. I've been struggling with my hayfever and that's because the

pollen is high or very high in much of England and Wales. That's worth

bearing in mind. We keep the quiet feeding through the night. The

weather front drifts away into northern England and Wales. It will

bring outbreaks of light rain. Nothing significant. This is the

culprit that could risk a shower at Wimbledon. Then we have this low

pressure through Northern Ireland and north-west England, but it will

take its time to arrive. Here is Wimbledon in more detail. We start

with the risk of rain and easing as the go through the afternoon on

Monday. Back to you. Long may it continue! Thanks for

now. We'll be back with

the headlines at 8am. Coming up on this week's

Travel Show: Is this We're on the Bruce Lee

trail in Hong Kong. With new laptop bans on some

international flights, we look at the gadgets you can

still take on board. Lee Jun-fan, better known

as Bruce Lee, may have been born in San Francisco, but in the early

1970s, he put both kung fu After starring in a succession

of cult martial arts movies, he became the most famous Asian

film star in the world. And today, almost 45 years

since his untimely death at the age of 32, he is still credited

as being the man who brought Chinese actors and martial arts

into the mainstream. And here in Hong Kong,

they're rightly proud Now, the film that really shot

Bruce Lee into international stardom was Enter the Dragon in 1973,

shot mainly on location here in Hong And if you're a fan of the film,

you might recognise this place, But if you're a real

die-hard Bruce Lee fan, then you'll need to go

to Hong Kong's Heritage Museum for a unique insight

into his legendary life. Yeah, nunchucks is one of a very

significant symbol of Bruce. You can see he practiced

this kind of weapons And then you can see

in his first TV programme, You can see he wore this

in the Game of Death. Then nowadays, you can still see

many people who wear this costume Fellow martial arts film actor

Victor Kan studied under the iconic And he remembers the very first time

he met Bruce Lee at a training He can pick up the movement,

things, very quick. And because that time

was also a social thing, "Oh, Wing Chun, we doing all that,

all the teenagers in the school." But I can say that he done

the cha-cha-cha better What do you think Bruce would think

about this exhibition, You don't know how impressive

he is still in the whole wide world. Inspired to learn some killer

kung fu moves myself, I head to the Wan Chai district

of Hong Kong where I've got a date with a man who's passionate

about studying and preserving This feels more like

a workout than a warm up. Not sure if I'll be

able to walk tomorrow. I punch you here, you

block with this one. I think I'm going to

have a bruise on my arm. Once upon a time, there

were hundreds of small martial arts studios like this

all over Hong Kong. A lot of kung fu schools

were actually run in a space like this which, unfortunately,

over the past 20, 30 years have become very unaffordable
