03/07/2017 Breakfast

Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

Growing pressure on the Government to abolish the 1% cap on pay rises

Boris Johnson becomes the latest Cabinet Minister to call for a boost

to workers' wages, but Downing Street says decisions

will be made on a case-by-case basis.

Also this morning: For the first time in almost a decade more nurses

and midwives are leaving the profession than joining it,

President Trump is accused of inciting attacks

against journalists, after he tweeted this spoof video

of himself assaulting a man with a CNN logo superimposed

The supermarkets have cut petrol prices over the last few days,

Wimbledon gets under way today, so we have sent Sally

Good morning and welcome to Wimbledon 2017.

As he starts the defence of his Wimbledon title today,

Andy Murray says he is fit, despite suffering with

But the world number one has already faced some of his toughest questions

this fortnight, when he was interrogated by our Mini-Murrays,

who wanted to know who was the best cook in his family.

My Gran has got a lot of experience cooking, so I will say it would

just... Just be her. It isn't my mum, she would definitely be third

on the list. Let's cross to inside

the All England Tennis Club, Good morning, and out here it is

this grandmother's shortbread which is particularly good. We have some

spots of rain this morning. That should clear, the outside chance of

rain, but a greater chance it should stay dry, and after a cloudy start

we will see some sunshine and it will feel pleasantly warm. More

details in 15 minutes. The Foreign Secretary has

added his voice to the growing calls from within the Cabinet

for Theresa May to lift the 1% cap on pay rises for public

sector workers. The limit is due to be

in place until 2020. But a Government source said

Boris Johnson strongly believed pay rises could be achieved

without putting undue pressure Our political correspondent

Chris Mason joins us from There are quite a few people who are

not toeing the line on this one. Yes, you have spotted the trend. It

is quite striking, isn't it? Cabinet ministers one after another, it

seems, all saying hang on a minute, I think we need to do something

about public sector pay. Michael Gove yesterday saying something

along those lines, and now Boris Johnson, the Foreign Secretary. Here

is the context for all of this. There was a freeze on public sector

pay back in 2011. After that there was a 1% cap posed in 2013. And if

that cap were to remain in place until 2019, public sector pay then,

in terms of purchasing power, what it is actually worth in the shops,

would be the same as in 2005. Now, for a good number of years, private

sector pay after the financial crash of 2008 was pretty ropey as well but

that has started to improve, and that has contributed to the sense

from some in the public sector that it is time for some sort of rise and

one of the lessons of the Conservatives seem to be learning

themselves is that they got a bit of an earbashing on the doorstep from

some in the public sector saying we get that there had to be a bit of a

squeezed early on to help valance the books, but now things have to be

eased. The challenge for the government is they still need to

make the books balance. There is still a deficit as the government

spends more than it brings in and taxes. So now there is a discussion

in government about how they pay for it. Do they put up taxes or cut

spending elsewhere? Big questions to be addressed.

Figures out today show, for the first time in nearly

a decade, more nurses and midwives are leaving the profession in the UK

That is according to the Nursing and Midwifery Council.

The research suggests 20% more staff left the council's register

than signed up, in the year to March this year.

For years, the numbers registering to work as nurses and midwives have

And, with increasing demands on our health service,

These latest figures showing more staff leaving than joining should,

according to the healthcare union Unison, ring alarm bells

with the Government, and could signal a staffing crisis.

Between last March and this, the numbers on the register dropped

Over the following two months, there was a more dramatic move,

the number going down again by more than 3,000.

It is only a small proportion of the total number of nurses

registered, but it is the significance of the downward

There is a great demand for the right standards of care

If the numbers continue to fall, then clearly some action needs to be

In a survey of staff who had left, for those not retiring,

the biggest factors were working conditions and disillusionment

with the quality of care provided to patients.

The highest proportion of leavers were British nurses.

Of EU nurses surveyed, a third quoted Brexit

In a statement, the Department of Health said it has launched

a national programme to ensure nurses have the support they need

And we will be speaking to the chief executive of the Royal College

A public inquiry into child abuse in Jersey will publish

More than 600 witnesses have given evidence about abuse at children's

homes and in foster care on the island.

A police investigation recorded more than 500 alleged offences,

most of which were said to have been committed at the Haut de la

For the past two years, the story of Jersey's abuse victims

Their cries of anguish had been stifled, ignored or dismissed,

but in 2008, a secret police investigation brought the island's

Alarmed by claims that children had died at the Haute de la Garenne

home, police brought in specialist search dogs.

In the ensuing months, forensic teams recovered fragments

of bone, and dozens of children's teeth.

None could be linked to a specific crime or timeframe,

but the images of Haut de la Garenne being torn apart prompted

accounts of abuse at homes across the island.

There were examples of where those in authority misused the power

Complaints of abuse had came to light,

Yet decisions were made not to deal with those

complaints in a way that they ought to have been done.

When inquiry chair Frances Oldham reveals their findings today,

victims will be looking for one clear message.

I want them to say that Jersey failed catastrophically in looking

after the children under their care, and that the Government

are going to promise that it's never going to happen again.

A number of flights into Gatwick Airport were diverted

last night, after reports of a drone flying close to the runway.

EasyJet said four of its flights had been diverted, while British Airways

said one plane had been sent to Bournemouth.

Other flights had to circle the airport as a precaution.

We will be talking to experts about how that might have happened later.

President Trump has been accused of inciting violence

against journalists, after he tweeted a spoof wrestling

video showing him assaulting a man with a CNN logo superimposed

In the footage, he is shown punching the CNN character repeatedly.

The President regularly accuses CNN and other media outlets

of broadcasting what he calls fake news.

Our correspondent Tom Burridge has more.

It is President Trump's latest attack on the so-called mainstream

A video from 2007, when Donald Trump appeared at a WWE wrestling event.

Ringside, he pretended to beat someone up.

But, on the version of the video the President has tweeted,

a CNN logo is superimposed on the man's head.

Prominent American journalists, even some right-wing commentators,

This is not "modern-day presidential".

It is modern-day crass, it is modern-day coarseness.

One senior aide to the President said no-one would perceive the video

But even supporters of President Trump say his tweets

We want him to concentrate on what is important to the American

people, like tax reform and repealing Obamacare and national

security, and we would really like for him to put down

Away from the protests, many Americans like Donald Trump's

Mr Trump said his tweets are those of a modern president.

CNN described the video he tweeted as juvenile behaviour,

far below the dignity of the office of president.

The Northern Ireland Secretary, James Brokenshire, will make

a statement in Parliament today about the talks to restore devolved

The latest legal deadline for the negotiations

Two people have miraculously walked away with just minor injuries

after their supercar crashed into the side of a building

These images were taken by fire crews at the crash site

near Trowbridge, in Wiltshire, where there is not much

It is understood it is a McLaren sports car,

It ploughed into this home in Heywood yesterday morning.

No-one who lived in the house was injured, either.

Genuinely shocking. It just doesn't look... If you were shown those

pictures and asked what it was beforehand, you can't even see it

was a car, you can't see the tyres or anything. Nobody injured,

goodness. I always enjoy this day on BBC Breakfast, it officially means

it is summer. Wimbledon is starting, Andy Murray and his wife are

expecting yet another addition to the family. You are going to say

expecting to win Wimbledon? Well, maybe both. Sally and Carol are

waiting to see if they can get a spot to see Mr Murray later on. This

is possibly one of the most British moments in sport. I am in the

Wimbledon queue, everybody cueing very politely for their place in

Wimbledon today. Let me show you this. There are always rules. --

queuing. I want to point out this, queue jumping is not acceptable and

will not be tolerated. And in case you are confused, my favourite one.

Excessive consumption of alcohol and/ or drunken behaviour also

prohibited. People here get woken up at the stewards at six a.m.. Let's

join the man who is front of the Q. How are you feeling and how did you

sleep? Well, I had the generator going all night, which hindered my

sleep all day. It is the best you can expect, isn't it? Were you

actually the first person in the queue? I was, I write about 1:30am

on Saturday morning. And obviously you want to see one person in

particular. The Initially I came down to see

the centre court experience, it is what I have wanted

to do since I was a child, what it is a bonus to see

Andy Murray on the court as well. I am sorry to interrupt your

Breakfast, but can we just show everybody the luxury? We have a

picnic blankets, we have bacon sandwiches... And these gorgeous

hats, look at this! How long have you been queueing for? We started on

Saturday at lunchtime, and we were lucky, we were 15th in the queue and

we have made such good friends with everyone around us, so we have had a

real ball. And what has the morning been like so far? I got here a

awhile ago, and have a body had been hit quite awhile. We got here and

got everything put away so we could enjoy the rest of the day in the

queue. That is obviously someone ringing you to say they have just

seen you on the telly. Thank you very much indeed, hope you have a

fabulous day. Let's go inside Wimbledon

Good morning. Inside Wimbledon we have the odd spot of rain, nothing

too heavy, that should clear but it should be a pleasant day as we head

into the afternoon with highs of 22. The hottest day ever recorded at

Wimbledon was the first of July 2015 when it got to 35.7. We're not

expecting that level this week but it's going to become hotter,

particularly by Wednesday and it will also turn more humid. You can

see all the Wimbledon colours starting today 2017 under way. The

forecast for today if you're coming down at 11am, Thurley cloudy but

brightening up. As we go through the day the sun will come out and you'll

see highs of 22 in light breezes so feeling rather nice. This morning's

rain should pass, we can't completely rule out a shower, but

the chances are it will stay dry. For the rest of us it will be a fine

day, mostly dry with sunny spells and around the south we have a

weather front producing the odd spot of rain. Variable amounts of cloud

as we travel further north across England, East Anglia, northern

England, broken in places so we are seeing sunshine and sunshine in

eastern Scotland, improved from yesterday. In western Scotland there

is more cloud with the odd shower, Northern Ireland will see showers

mostly in the north, a fine day, dry with sunshine and across Wales, a

wee bit more cloud, you might catch the odd shower too. In south-west

England, showery outbreaks of rain from the weather front near

Gloucestershire. As we go to the southern counties, Hampshire, quite

a bit of cloud first thing and you could feel the odd spot coming out

of that cloud. Through the day that tends to move away, the cloud starts

to break and for many we will see a fair bit of sunshine. One or two

showers here or there, you could catch one in East Anglia, Kent,

north-west Scotland, but most won't and we're looking at highs of up to

22 and in light winds that will feel pleasant for the time of year. The

cloud will thicken in Northern Ireland through the day heralding

the arrival of another weather front that will introduce some rain,

initially in Northern Ireland it will be quite heavy and then it will

push east moving to central and southern Scotland and northern

England and Risley outbreaks in parts of Wales, west Wales and

south-west England. -- Rizzoli. We start tomorrow with the rain and it

will move east through the day in more all the same areas. You'll find

some brightness coming through into Northern Ireland. -- more or less

the same areas. In eastern England and Wales, dry, cloud breaking up,

more than today, though, and highs of 24. As we move into Wednesday,

still a finger of rain in parts of central and southern Scotland,

northern England, possibly Northern Ireland and either side of that dry

weather, the sunshine and the temperature getting up. By Wednesday

we could see temperatures in the mid to high 20s and we will start to

feel it becoming quite sultry in nature.

Thank you very much indeed. It looks lovely, we will be with you

throughout the morning. What was that? I don't know what it was. I

got momentarily distracted, maybe you didn't see that, it was a little

fly? It looked like a moth but it could have been close to the camera.

A small winged creature. Let's take a look at

this morning's papers. The front page of the Mail, they are

talking about car loan salesman, young drivers are being tempted to

high levels of debt because of no money upfront. This is the wild card

going into ASW 19 for her first Wimbledon. -- into ASW 19. The

Guardian. The picture of Andy Murray on the front page of the paper. As

many of the front pages are, they are dealing with the Donald Trump

CNN wrestling video. I don't watch a lot of wrestling and to me it looks

violent. Neither do I but if you see... You watch five minutes of

WWE, it is comical violence. Are we going to agree to disagree? I still

think it was an presidential but I don't think... For people to save

punching in the face, they don't do that in wrestling. -- for people to

say. -- unpresidential. It is non- attacking elbows and things like

that. Ben, you get going to get involved? Not on this one! Andy

Murray has done a hard-hitting a hard-hitting interview with us this

morning. More on that later. Then we are talking about austerity, that's

our lead story, who is saying what over whether or not this 1% pay rise

should be allowed or not, a Cabinet split emerging between the

Chancellor and senior ministers over whether taxes should be raised to

pay for increased spending on public services. The migrant crisis on the

front page of the Mirror and the Express this morning. 69 refugees

have drowned this year trying during Spain from Africa, that's the

Mirror. The Express, EU in crisis over boat migrants. EU holding

crisis talks over Europe under siege from rising numbers of migrants. I

want to pick up on that story on the front of the Mail. This is a real

issue. It is something we have talked about in business but

something we will hear much more about, we heard all about the

sub-prime crisis when it came to housing debt, the next crisis is car

loans and it's not anywhere near as big because the values involved are

less but this investigation by the Daily Mail, others have done the

same, how many people getting cars without proving they campaigned the

money back and then you end up in the horrible cycle where people have

cars, they lose their job, they can't pay for the loan and they have

to sell it, too many cars on the market, prices fall, those who have

cars are being loans less than the value of the car and it becomes a

downward spiral. Something to keep an eye on and this investigation in

the Mail look at how easy it is for people to get PCP, personal contract

purchase is, it let's you get the car without proving your income.

Another story I want to look at quickly, I'm not going to steal your

thunder with the picture, oil and white wine at risk in Spain. Big

problems for olives. All the picnics you might be having this summer...

You said Christmas, do you know it is July? I'm wishing my summer away!

That is a very early Christmas! It's Monday morning! The first mention of

Christmas on the third of July! So if you're doing your Christmas

shopping and you want to get your lives and your wine you may not be

able to. This is a good picture, please explain -- your olives. Rory

Murray, he is 33, he has been shown to have a body fat of 7.7%,

modern-day joust as are as fit and strong as professional footballers,

tennis players and Formula 1 drivers -- Rory Murray. In films they always

make archers thin and slender. The amount of power to pull the bow back

because the pressure was so high meant they would have been stacked

with large muscles. How heavy is the armour in that picture? 45 kg! Merry

Christmas, everyone! Stephen Hawking has told the BBC

that Donald Trump's decision to withdraw from the Paris climate

agreement could doom the planet and future generations will have no

choice but to find life elsewhere. He was speaking on his 75th

birthday, a milestone he said he never thought he would reach. Our

science correspondent Pala Ghosh has been to see him.

birthday to you, happy birthday to you. I never expected to reach 75 so

I feel very fortunate to be able to reflect on my legacy. I think my

greatest achievement will be my discovery that black holes are not

entirely black. Quantum effects cause them to blow like hot bodies

with a temperature that is lower... This result was completely

unexpected and show there is a deep relationship between gravity and the

Miedema makes. I think this will be key to understanding how... -- and

thermodynamics. What do you feel the impact of Brexit would be on

science? Science is a cooperative effort so the impact will be wholly

bad and will leave British science isolated and inward looking. What's

your view on Donald Trump's decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement

and what impact will it have on the planet? By denying evidence for

climate change and pulling out of Paris Donald Trump will cause

irrevocable environmental damage to our beautiful planet and in danger

the financial world for us and our children. If money and practicality

were no object, what would be your dream present? A cure for motor

neurone disease, or at least a halt to its progression. When I was

diagnosed at 201I was told it would kill me in two or three years. Now

54 years later, albeit weaker and in a wheelchair, I'm still working and

producing scientific papers. Professor Hawking, thank you so

much. You're an inspiration to us all.

Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

Another staple is Wimbledon. We have Carol there to do the weather and

Sally is in the queue Ferranti Murray. I always love this day,

because you see people slowly getting up, trying to make

themselves look respectable and get in the queue. I have seen some sites

already. I am not going to go into any more detail but I have to say

this little place in the queue wins the award for possibly the most

comfortable tent. I think you two have had the most comfy dead. Talk

us through this whole bedding arrangement you have here -- comfy

bed. You don't feel how cold the ground is. And you are so incredibly

smartly dressed. Well, you have to be ready for Wimbledon, but you have

to prepare for all weather conditions. So we gambled the right

way. You have half the sofa here, lads! It is two sofas. Good morning,

Fabrizio. You have come an awfully long way. I have, I have come from

Winnipeg, Canada. Who are you most looking forward to seeing? Rafa

Nadal, no question. Do you think he could pull out a shock victory? I

don't think it will be a shock. If his knees allow him to play, he has

a real shot to win this. That is a big question, if the knees are

healthy. Fabrizio, forgive me, I will move on to Maggie. Who do you

think Maggie is supporting today? I am supporting Andy Murray. You have

the Andy Murray T-shirt, the Andy Murray flag, and the earrings as

well. Are you an Andy Murray super fan, by any chance? I am, I follow

him all over and go to lots of tournaments. Why is it Andy Murray

in particular that you like? Because he is British. And you obviously

think he can defend his title. I hope so, I hope his hips are all

right and I am looking forward to seeing him win. As you can see, the

crowd obviously in fine, fine form this morning. Let's talk a little

bit about the actual tennis. He has been suffering with a hip

problem, but Andy Murray says he is fit as he starts the defence

of his Wimbledon title today. He is first up on centre court

against the world number 134, Murray is desperately short

of practice on grass. He was forced to pull out of two

exhibition matches last week. It is just a little bit stressful,

because at this point in the year, right before the slam, and the

biggest tournament of the year for me, as a Brit, or you want to be

prepared. I want to be out there practising. And I haven't been in

that position before, really. But you just have to try and stay

patient, you know, stay calm. Fellow British number one

Johanna Konta also has question She has been struggling with injury

since she fell heavily at Eastbourne on Friday, but has said

she is recovering really well. She faces the woman who knocked

her out of the first round of the French Open,

Hsieh Su-wei, from Taiwan. I'm definitely going into the match

knowing that she will be playing very comfortable on the surface,

and she will definitely look to make I'd like to think that I'm

also better-prepared. I'd like to think that I will be

going into the match with a clear game plan, and just trying

to execute that as best as I can. Straight on Centre Court

after Murray is the two-time winner She has only recently

returned to the tour, after her playing hand was injured

in a knife attack in December. But she looks in great form,

winning the Aegon Classic in Birmingham a few weeks ago,

a result which has made her one It was my dream, my motivation, to

be here, to step on the court and play. And suddenly I am favourite,

and no, I just don't get it as well. Yes, the people probably think about

it, but I am not here to win it. I have already won the biggest fight,

before, and I won already, that I am here.

Britain's Chris Froome and Geraint Thomas had a lucky

escape on the second stage of the Tour de France.

They recovered from this crash to reach the finish in Liege.

Reigning champion Froome remains sixth overall,

with his Sky teammate Geraint Thomas in the leader's Yellow Jersey.

Tommy Fleetwood won the French Open golf.

The Englishman followed his fourth place at the US Open

He is expected to move into the world's top 20 today.

Gemili was a distant sixth, as Mitchell-Blake's time of 20.18

seconds broke the British championship record.

England beat Sri Lanka at Taunton yesterday for their second win

They chased down 205 with more than 19 overs to spare,

and will next face South Africa on Wednesday.

We've got a couple of days obviously to prepare for that, and I think the

way we bowled today is really pleasing, I think. Seeing how good

pitch it was, I think I didn't realise how well we had actually

bowled, how well we defended that total, and actually getting those

plans in place and executing them is going to be key in our next game.

Much more from us here at Wimbledon in the next power of the programme

including that very special interview from Andy Murray, where we

hear him talk as he has never talked before, and a little tiny hint that

there was another baby Murray on the way. Watch out for it. Plenty more

from Wimbledon throughout the morning, and Carol has the weather

from there as well. As fire-safety testing continues

on the cladding of as many as 600 tower blocks across England,

the numbers which are failing 181 buildings have now failed

the checks following the tragedy That is in 51 local authority

areas across England, including 29 in Salford,

Greater Manchester alone. Joining us now from our London

newsroom is Arnold Tarling, a fire safety expert

and chartered surveyor. Good morning to you, thank you very

much indeed for joining us. Tell us what is going on. Because it seems

every single bit of cladding that is tested seems to fail this test.

Attest that they are undertaking, from what I have heard from the

industry is what is called upon calorific tests, often used to test

the amount of calories in food. And the fact is that this will produce

false readings, things that don't normally burn will burn, because

they feel the vessel with a pure oxygen, and they pressurise it to 30

times the atmosphere. So the whole situation has changed. The actual

sort of testing which had should be done is to build a large read and

actually tested as it has been installed, but that will take a week

or two to do -- large read. It will take 12 to 14 years to get around

the testing was sampled -- large rig. OK, because it is very

worrying. If people living in those buildings here that the cladding

surrounding their buildings has failed these particular tests, do

you understand the concerns? What can be done, do you think? Well,

they are not taking a large enough sample. They have asked for a sample

basically the size of an A4 sheet of paper. What they are needing to do

is take larger samples and actually tested in a different way, by

heating it up and burning the edges, to see whether it catches fire. So

they need two panels, one above the other, and they need a simplified

rig, which can be done simply, and multiple rigs, one on top of the

other, to test it has in the stored environment. As of where we are now,

what are the implications? Because they are failing, and that is the

test they are using. So what will have to be done? Basically they are

going to have to forget the testing they are doing at the moment and

actually set up test which will be more realistic. And you don't have

to necessarily follow the whole of the British standards or the

European standards for testing, which supersede the British ones.

Simply follow the test and test them in a more real situation. So put a

couple of panels one above the other, light a fire, test it, put

blowtorches around the outside, heat the unit and see what starts to

happen. That will give you more of an understanding. Taking the panels

and grinding them into powder, shoving them in a pressurised vessel

and working out how much heat heats up water and measuring the

temperature rise is not the right test. OK, so you are saying you are

very clear that you think it is not the right test. What I want to get

to the bottom of, as well, is that at this point there are people

living in buildings who don't know all will be afraid, having had the

buildings tested, but they are living in a dangerous building. How

do we get to the position where these buildings are safer? My

goodness... Well, basically, you have to find the ones which have

polyethylene, which you can do quite easily. You can put the materials

and a mass spectrometer and you can identify those. You can identify

other ones which have more fire resistant materials and you should

be able to grade them between those which are the most dangerous and

those which are not. There are intelligent people out there in the

testing industry, they just had to actually get their brains in gear

and do something which will give a more realistic result. OK, thank you

for your time this morning. We have gone full Wimbledon for you this

morning. Carol is that with the weather for us this morning. If my

Wimbledon geography is correct, are you at the top of the Hill that?

That's right, we are at the top of the hill this morning and it is a

very tranquil scene but my favourite part of the morning is when the

police dogs arrive, and they have just arrived. We have some labs and

some spaniels. They are so cute and so enthusiastic. But look at this

view, isn't it gorgeous? Later today there will be packed up here, and

packed on the hill as well and the weather will be much better than it

is at the moment if you like it's sunny and warm because the forecast

full Wimbledon today is just that. We are looking at highs possibly up

to 22, maybe even 24. This morning it is a cloudy start and we have

some outbreaks of rain not too far away from us. That will fade and it

will brighten up. The sun will come out and although we can't completely

rule out the risk of a shower, the chances are high that it will stay

dry. Most of the UK it is a dry forecast and it is also going to be

sunny for most. Currently some showers dotted around and by 9am we

will have some showers in parts of the South and quite a bit of cloud.

As we move north to East Anglia, the Midlands and northern England, that

holds true. Variable amounts of cloud with some sunny breaks.

Brighter start in eastern Scotland compared to what we had yesterday.

Western Scotland cloudy with one or two showers and Northern Ireland

getting off to a fine start. Some showers on the horizon and later it

will cloud over but for Wales, one or two showers and the south-west

England, around heading in the direction of Hampshire, again said

that of cloud and for some there is also some rain. Through the morning

that rain will tend to clear away. The cloud will start to break up and

we will see some sunshine come through. But the cloud will build

across Northern Ireland, especially in the second half of the afternoon.

Temperatures today up to around 22 but in the London area it could hit

23 or 24. But in the sunshine and light breezes it will feel pleasant.

Then, as we head on through the evening and overnight, while we have

a weather front coming in across Northern Ireland, also across parts

of central and southern Scotland and northern England, some of that rain

will be heavy. But on either side of it, dry, some clearer spots and

temperatures in most towns and cities will stay in double figures.

So we start that way tomorrow, not in a particularly cold note, but we

will have the rain still across Northern Ireland, Central and

southern Scotland and northern England. All that rain is travelling

eastwards, so by the end of the day Northern Ireland will have sunshine

and showers. To the north of that band of rain, one or two showers

across southern Scotland, and to the south of it, a bit more cloudy than

today but nonetheless still some sunshine and temperatures at best

getting up towards the mid-20s. Then, as we head on into Wednesday,

we have that front draped across parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland

and northern England, but it is a weakening feature. Sunshine on

either side of it, starting to get hot or very warm across parts of

England and Wales. In fact, around the London area once again we could

see highs around 27 or 28, and in old muggy 28 is 82 Fahrenheit, and

it will feel quite humid as well. You were saying the favourite time

at Wimbledon is when the dogs turn up. What time do they turn up? Now,

they have just arrived. They are so cute and so enthusiastic, they are

really tucking away at the Leeds of their handlers, to go and explore.

Thank you very much. We are finding out not only the weather, but who

let the dogs out as well. Anyone? No?

I couldn't help myself! Did you fill up your car over the weekend? I did.

I noticed it was rather cheap, you're looking at that this morning?

Good news for drivers at the moment. Thanks very much and good morning.

Yes, it started at the end of last week.

The price of a barrel of crude oil fell sharply,

Back in February, the price of a barrel of oil was around $56

But that's down to $48 a barrel this month and that means it's cheaper

Petrol was at ?1.20, or 120 pence per litre in February,

It's gone from 123 pence back in February to an average of 115

James Spencer is a consultant at Portland Fuel.

Good morning. Let's talk about why. I've touched on the fact crude

prices are down, that means barometer reel is cheaper so

therefore the refinement is cheaper, the petrol and the diesel, and

that's to do with America? Pretty much. For the last three years all

roads have led to Shane Doyle and that's what we've seen so if you go

back to 2015, there was a glut of production of shale oil and that

push prices down, they went down to about $25 a barrel, that was their

low point in January 2016. What then happened is that shale oil industry

began to go bust, or at least they started to... It is quite expensive

to get out of the ground? Historically it has been but through

innovation and technology it's becoming much cheaper. That is what

has confounded the industry, the shale oil industry has found a level

which previously people thought they couldn't break even, they thought

around $60 a barrel, they can't survive below that, in fact it's

proving more around $50 a barrel. As the price ticked up the shale oil

industry came back into the market and that's created another supply

glut, pushing prices down which is what we've seen now. Why are there

differences across the country? We talk about averages but there are

still big disparities? That's true, that is to do with supermarkets or

big populations, the through put in petrol stations is bigger, the

prices reflect wholesale prices quicker, if you're in a rural petrol

station you might have stock from two weeks ago and it takes longer to

churn through. Whenever we talk about oil we talk about OPEC, the

cartel that traditionally all the countries in the Middle East club

together to decide the price they sell at. That power is waning? It's

a big game changer. OPEC are collectively scratching their heads

because everything they do isn't having the effect they want. They

announced production cuts, they got Russia on board to do that, they

announced an extension in May and that has barely passed off with a

whimper on the markets because the people holding the cards are the

shale oil producers. Which way next, up or down? It probably won't go too

much further down, I don't think it will rise rapidly but I can't see it

dropping much more. Thanks, James Spencer from Portland Fuel. More

from the at 7am. -- more from the. -- more from me.

Let's go back to Wimbledon now where Andy Murray will begin

the defence of his title at 1pm this afternoon.

You've been talking to Andy? We've been lucky to have a fantastic

amount of time with Andy this year, we are halfway through the queue at

the moment, it stretches for some considerable distance. Some of these

people have been here since Saturday, a 48-hour queue is not

unheard of. Everyone is getting up, brushing their teeth and having a

delicious burger for breakfast but they are all having a marvellous

time. Lots of people here to see Andy Murray, he's up on centre court

at 1pm. I wanted to find a way to get more out of Andy Murray, to see

a different side of Murray so what we did was we found children from

corners of this country to ask the questions they thought mattered, and

they got away with being a lot cheeky then I could ever have done.

Have a look at this. I'm Andy, nice to meet you. Gregor,

you're from tumbling, right? Shall we hit a few balls together? --

Dunblane. That was bigger than me! That was good. Welcome, Andy, to our

Murray masterclass with our mini Murrays, these are some of the

toughest questions you're going to answer in the next fortnight. Come

on, Gregor. Who's cooking do you prefer, your grand, your mum, your

wife? I've tasted your grand's cooking at the Dunblane tennis and

it's delicious. You're lucky. It's definitely not my mum, she doesn't

cook well, I don't like my mum's food. That's mean. It's a really

tough question, my gran has a lot of experience cooking so I would say it

would just be her but my wife is also a good cook. It isn't my mum,

she would definitely be third on the list.

There we go! Hit the roof! That's not easy! What is the best moment of

your life so far? Best moment of my life would be when my daughter was

born. And that was a great year for you? It ended up being a good year

on the court but it was a better one off it for sure. What is the best

thing about being a dad? It gives you... When you become a parent I

think a different perspective on life because you now have to take

care of someone and bring the child up, to teach them everything from...

It could be eating, walking, talking, good manners, things like

that, so you feel a lot more responsible and I think that's a

very positive thing. We've got a lefty! Wow! Good effort! Who

inspired you to play tennis and what would your advice be if someone

wanted to be a tennis player just like you? I would say my mum

inspired me and my brother to play tennis. She used to play when she

was younger and she really coached me and my brother until we were,

like, nine or ten years old. The best piece of advice I could give to

anyone wanting to play tennis would be to have fun when you're a kid,

enjoy playing and to listen to your coach. There we go. That's

excellent. Very good, guys. Who do you send the most texts to? I've got

my phone in here and it has on my phone... I'm going to tell you

exactly who that is. Currently it's my wife and my brother would be the

two that I send the most texts to. Hannah, what's your question? If you

could be anyone in history, who would you be and why? If I could be

anyone in history? That's a very difficult question. I

said they would be tough... There's been a lot of amazing people. As a

sports person I would like to have been Mohammad Ali. He was amazing at

what he did but he also lived a very interesting and difficult life and

he would have experienced a lot, so I would have liked to have seen what

it was like to have been him. I think that's our toughest question

over with. That's a hard question. Toughest one over with, this last

one is from me. You're coming into Wimbledon, 30 years old, you've

achieved world number one status, what does the next ten years old for

you, do you know? I hope the next four or five years still involve me

playing tennis at the highest level but I don't think when I'm in my

late 30s I'll be playing tennis so I hope it means having a bigger

family, I'd like to have more children, but then after that I have

absolutely no idea. That's still a ways away, I'm still concentrating

on my tennis right now. How do you think our mini Murrays have done

today? Very good. Kids, what was it like interviewing the best tennis

player in the world? Fun! Was in that brilliant? And we got a

tiny hint, I think he knew there was another mini Murray on the way --

wasn't that. We heard the news that Kim Barry is expecting their second

child. We will be talking to his mum in the next half an hour -- that

Ciaran is. I will be asking her what she thinks about that cooking

comment -- Kim is. Great job, thank you very much! Something we have to

clear up, a few of our eagle eyed viewers have spotted you have a

number on you. I can't believe it, I've got the remnants of a tattoo

here that I have tried to get off, I didn't think I would need to get it

off because I'm covering it up! She's not been in prison, she's got

the triathlon number on her leg. What is it? 1008. That's a good

number, it clears Now, though, it's back

to Dan and Louise. Hello, this is Breakfast,

with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. Growing pressure on the Government

to abolish the 1% cap on pay rises Boris Johnson becomes the latest

Cabinet Minister to call for a boost to workers' wages,

but Downing Street says decisions will be made on a

case-by-case basis. Also this morning: For the first

time in almost a decade, more nurses and midwives are leaving

the profession than joining it, Donald Trump is accused

of encouraging violence towards journalists,

after he tweets this video of him attacking a man with a CNN

news logo on his head. New plans to tackle

soaring energy prices. The regulator says there will be

a new price cap for those on low incomes, and more incentives for us

all to switch suppliers. Wimbledon gets underway today,

so we have sent Sally Good morning, welcome to Wimbledon

2017. As he starts the defence

of his Wimbledon title today, Andy Murray says he is fit,

despite suffering with But the world number one has already

faced some of his toughest questions this fortnight, when he was

interrogated by our Mini-Murrays, who wanted to know who was the best

cook in his family. My Gran has got a lot

of experience cooking, so I'll say it would

just - just be her. It isn't my mum, she would

definitely be third on the list. Let's cross to inside

the All England Tennis Club, Well, we have just had a small

shower in Wimbledon, but it should tend to clear in the next couple of

hours and for the Wimbledon forecast it is going to be dry, sunny and

warm with just the outside chance we could see a shower, but the chances

are high that it will stay dry. For most of the UK it is dry, some

sunshine around and highs up to 24 Celsius will feel quite pleasant. I

will have more in about 15 minutes. The Foreign Secretary has

added his voice to the growing calls from within the Cabinet

for Theresa May to lift the 1% cap on pay rises for public

sector workers. The limit is due to be

in place until 2020, but a Government source said

Boris Johnson strongly believed pay rises could be achieved

without putting undue pressure Our political correspondent

Chris Mason joins us from What is going on here, and could

there be a pay rise? Yes, good morning to you. Yet again the

Cabinet appear unleashed on public sector pay, and to answer your

question, I think there will be public sector pay rises, I think

that is inevitable given the voices we are hearing out of different

corners of the Cabinet. What has been happening on public sector pay?

Back in 2011 there was a pay freeze. Then in 2013 this 1% pay cap was

imposed, and what that means is that, if it was to stay in place

another couple of years, until 2019, the purchasing power of public

sector pay, what it is worth in the shops, would pretty much be the same

as it was all the way back in 2005. Conservatives got a bit of an

earbashing from some on the doorsteps in the election campaign

over public sector pay, and private sector pay is growing at the moment

a bit faster, so that pressure is growing. Now, the pay review bodies

for some in the public sector are due to announce their findings in

just the next couple of weeks. The government now saying, as you were

saying, that they will make a judgement on a case-by-case basis. I

think that means that whatever those public sector bodies say and

recommend, the government will feel obliged to act upon. So it looks

like the public sector pay cap is about to bite the dust.

Meanwhile, figures out today show that, for the first time in nearly

a decade, more nurses and midwives are leaving the profession in the UK

That is according to the Nursing and Midwifery Council,

which points to pay levels as one of the factors.

For years, the numbers registering to work as nurses and midwives have

the number going down again by more than 3,000.

President Trump has been accused of inciting violence

against journalists, after he tweeted a spoof wrestling

video showing him assaulting a man with a CNN logo superimposed

In the footage, he is shown punching the CNN character repeatedly.

The President regularly accuses CNN and other media outlets

of broadcasting what he calls fake news.

Our correspondent Tom Burridge has more.

It is President Trump's latest attack on the so-called mainstream

media, a video from 2007, when Donald Trump appeared

Ringside, he pretended to beat someone up.

But, on the version of the video the President has tweeted,

a CNN logo is superimposed on the man's head.

Prominent American journalists, even some right-wing commentators,

This is not "modern-day presidential".

It is modern-day crass, it is modern-day coarseness.

One senior aide to the President said no-one would perceive the video

But even supporters of President Trump say his tweets

people, like tax reform and repealing Obamacare and national

security, and we would really like for him to put down

CNN described the video he tweeted as juvenile behaviour,

far below the dignity of the office of president.

I think people are divided on this, we are slightly divided. I am not

to be taking great offence, when I think there is an element of sense

For the first time in recent history, more midwives and nurses

are leaving the profession than are joining.

According to the Nursing and Midwifery Council,

those under the age of retirement are blaming staffing levels,

Joining us now from our London newsroom is Janet Davies,

who is the chief executive of the Royal College of Nursing.

Good morning to you, Janet. Thank you very much for your time this

morning. What do you think... We heard there are some of the official

reasons. What are your own thoughts on why this has happened for the

first time? This is confirming what we are hearing from our nurses every

day, that with the conditions they are working under now, they feel

really undervalued and although they love nursing, they are struggling to

stay in the profession they love. So there are a number of factors, one

of those working conditions. We all know in our hospitals and

communities they don't have enough nurses and those who are left with

those numbers are struggling, having to work harder and longer hours.

There are a couple of other things. The lack of flexibility and support

within the work pace, but increasingly the fact that they

haven't had a pay rise for so many years and the cost of living is

going up, it means they are really struggling to pay their bills, which

is making them reconsider their profession. It is interesting that

that public sector pay cap has been there since 2013 and the total

number of registered nurses has increased every year until 2016. So

it doesn't seem to have affected numbers coming in for quite

sometime. Why is it necessary now, do you think? Well, it is coming to

the crunch point. This is the point when inflation is starting to rise

as well, so people are feeling it in their pockets, as well at decreasing

staff levels on the wards is making people find their work so hard and

what we are seeing is also the quick fix has often been to bring people

in from overseas, so we have had quite a big boost from the European

Union, from our European nurses and elsewhere. They are not coming in in

the same numbers, so we are seeing the significance of what is

happening with our British nurses. Use a significant, and if you look a

little deeper into the numbers, the actual drop since March of last year

has only been around 5000 out of a total of nearly 700,000. So it is

not that significant change, is that fair to say? It is 20% more which

are leaving than joining, and that is significant, because we are not

having people coming in at the same time as they are leaving. So it is

20% of the difference, which will make a difference not just now but

in years to come unless we do something about it. I know you are

not a politician. You save do something about it, what would you

like to see pay rise by? Well, we need to look at the earnings of

nurses, we need to look at how much they have lost over the years, it is

up to 14% for some. I was with nurses last year who showed me their

payslips from 2009 and last week, and it was exactly the same. Their

costs have been going up, so we need to work out what that is going to be

but what we do need is to take that false cap off, which means we are

not actually looking at what nurses deserve at the moment. And if that

is paid for by taxation, that will hit the nurses as well, along with

everybody else. Of course, but it is a political decision to determine

how much we want to put into our health service, and part of our

health service is actually paying a fair wage to those people who

actually provide the care. Are you concerned, we are talking particular

about this year and you say that this is the tipping point, are you

concerned that what these figures will look like next year?

Absolutely, a number of things have happened and there are a number of

reasons nurses are feeling so undervalued, and the other is

removing the funding for the training of our future nurses so in

September will be the first time we see nurses coming into their

training programme having to take out a loan. We already know that has

put people off, people telling us they haven't started their nurse

training, we know it is really low in other places and that just went

into savings, it didn't go into more funding elsewhere in the education

of nurses and 50% of those nurses will be spending their time caring

for us in our communities and hospitals. And there hasn't been an

increase in the placement money. Janet, thanks for your time. To let

you know what the Department of Health have said," We are making

sure we have the nurses we need to continue delivering world-class

patient care, that is why almost 13,100 are on our wards since May

2010 and 52,000 Ayim training. We need to retain our excellent nurses

and we launched a national programme this week to ensure nurses have what

they need to continue their vital work -- are in training". Wimbledon

starts today and Carol is there this morning. We've seen Sally with her

brolly, what's going on? We've had some spots of rain this morning.

It's now tending to clear and the forecast for Wimbledon is just that.

There have been seven championships were play hasn't been interrupted at

all by rain. The last one was in 2010 but will it be today? The

forecast for Wimbledon is largely dry. We've had the rain this

morning, now it's moving away, we still have a bit of cloud that will

break up, we'll see some sunshine but there's the chance of a shower

but there's a higher chance it will stay dry and it will be pleasantly

warm in light breezes today, temperatures up to 22 or possibly 23

or even 24. The forecast for much of the UK today is dry. There are some

showers scattered around at the moment and many will see the and

sunny spells develop. As we start the forecast at 9am in southern

England, quite a bit of cloud around, a weak weather front

producing spots of rain and as we go further north into the Midlands,

East Anglia and northern England, I get quite a bit of cloud with one or

two showers. For Scotland today compare the two yesterday, a drier

date but nonetheless showers in the west, a fine day in Northern Ireland

but the cloud will build later with rain -- compare the two yesterday, a

drier day. Outbreaks of rain in south-west England -- compared to

yesterday. In Hampshire we have cloud, like we have at Wimbledon,

with one or two showers. Through the day we lose our weather front, the

cloud break suck, we see some sunshine, still showers at times in

East Anglia and the Midlands -- breaks up. In western Scotland we

could see some. In the sunshine temperatures roughly between 18 and

22 degrees, possibly 24 in London. Through the evening and overnight

rain will advance across Northern Ireland, some of it will be heavy,

and then eventually it will get in across central and southern Scotland

and northern England. On either side of it, drier, clear spells and

temperatures roughly 11 to 15. We start tomorrow with the rain again

across Northern Ireland, central and southern Scotland and northern

England but during the day as it goes eastwards it will improve in

Northern Ireland to sunshine and showers. In Scotland to the north of

the rain band, a few showers, some bright spells and sunshine and to

the south of it, warmer, more cloud than today but still some sunshine

and temperatures up to 24 or 25. As we head into Wednesday, Wednesday is

looking quite hot and humid in the south, again temperatures getting to

28 in any sunshine. We still have a weak weather front draped across

parts of Northern Ireland, central and southern Scotland and northern

England producing splashes of rain. To the north of that again some

sunshine and one or two showers. It's England and Wales as we head

into Wednesday that's going to see the very warm or hot weather.

Scotland and Northern Ireland, temperatures roughly where they

should be at this time of year. Thanks very much, I'd definitely

underestimated the need for some cream yesterday is so thank you for

that, Carol! Ben was talking about Christmas

earlier on... Gas and electricity bills could be

cut for low-income households as part of plans just announced

by the energy regulator This is no Christmas giveaway! It is

distinctly underwhelming, Ofgem have told us, it was much heralded they

would announce plans to cut allsorts of things like put a cap on energy

prices and make it easier to switch. They've announced some of it but as

always with these things they are proposals, suggestions about what

the industry might do. The first one is a cap on how much they would

charge customers who are forced to take a prepayment metre. It's called

installing it under warrant at a prepayment metre, for those who

can't or will it pay their energy bills, they will often be charged

extortionate prices to put their metre in, that will be ?150, but the

rest of proposals include price comparison websites. They say

switching is at a nine-year high, more of us are doing it but too many

think it's a lot of hassle to switch so it should be easier. They're

going to change the rules on how easy it is to do that, if you spot

something you want to switch to online you can click and change to

that tariff. They say there's too many people stuck on expensive

tariffs for too long so they're going to write to customers to say

you know you can get a better tariff if you go elsewhere. But, I'm going

to speak to the boss of Ofgem, the regulator, in the next half-hour,

and I will ask him whether he thinks it Gersbach enough in terms of

capping what people pay for their bills. -- if it goes far enough.

They say they want to protect the vulnerable but it doesn't go far

enough to protect. Ofgem has the power to put a cap across the

industry but it would require legislation and parliament,

legislation would have to go through Parliament and regulation would have

to go under the Rath of the companies. -- the Rath.

It's the moment on Twitter that's got lots of you talking this weekend

when President Trump posted this video.

We will explain a bit about what it is.

It's a wrestling spoof showing him assaulting a man with a CNN logo

He's seen here punching the character to the ground.

Donald Trump has regularly accused CNN and other media outlets

of broadcasting what he calls fake news.

Joining us now is Professor of American Politics at University

There's no doubt that people are divided on this. When I see that it

looks incredibly violent so explain the context of the video?

About ten years ago when he was just Donald Trump and making his

celebrity name he appeared for several weeks on world wrestling

entertainment, millions of fans watch this every week and he was a

character in the show. His character is shown hitting the head of world

wrestling entertainment Vince McMahon as they fight for control of

the organisation. This is Horley storyline when he is hosting the

apprentice, it builds up Donald Trump as they personality that this

is all a storyline when he is hosting the Apprentice -- this is

all a storyline when he is hosting the Apprentice. He reposted it from

a website, they do have a history of promoting violence, is that right?

There's two things, first he took it from Reddit, a general site anyone

can post on and this user, people have gone through this person and

he's hostile to people of colour, he is anti-Semitic and very aggressive

towards journalists. He put this up about four days ago and someone in

the White House, or Tom himself, got hold of it and reposted it -- or

Trump himself. The second is a war on the media and I use that term

deliberately. Before this we saw Donald Trump going after another

outlet, MSNBC, making derogatory comments about a presenter Meeker

Parisians key. Before that for months he's been going after the New

York Times and the Washington Post and even the BBC and what he's

trying to do is deny the legitimacy of any news organisation that

criticises him and that's what makes this more than entertainment, even

if we are going... If you watch any of this closely the White House

statements now and all the questioning, it's become really

quite extraordinary, the antagonism from both sides, hasn't it? On the

one side with journalists, sometimes journalists get it wrong, I dare say

the BBC might have got it wrong once or twice but what you're seeing is

this frustration that they're just trying to do their job but they're

doing it with a White House, and here I've got to be careful, but if

you go back months the White House has worked with its own alternative

FAQs ever since they were worried about the size of the inaugural

crowd -- alternative facts. They continue this ongoing diversion,

don't look here, look over their. The important political effect is

we're not talking about this rather than healthcare or the economy or

tax recoding. We've been having this discussion ourselves, have a sense

of humour, it's a wrestling video, but it is spectacularly

unpresidential. He has called it modern-day presidential, dealing

directly with people, but you can't think of any other world leader who

would put this out there, can you? I think Vladimir Putin might do it in

Russia but I was both mesmerised and horrified because it is part of

entertainment, that's where it comes from, but I'm horrified because he's

not supposed to be an entertainer, he's meant to be the

commander-in-chief in a system where you respect the media and those that

disagree with you and clearly he has no respect for those that might

criticise him. Very interesting, thanks for talking to us and for all

your messages about that as well. We're

at Wimbledon where Andy Murray will start the defence of his title

at 1pm this afternoon. with his mum Judy in about ten

minutes. I love the way we queue in this

country, it couldn't be more ordered or civilised. And there's even

rules, there is a board saying this is how we queue at Wimbledon, do it

the British way! But the weather doesn't look great

Now, though, it's back to Dan and Louise.

Hello, this is Breakfast with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

to put pressure on the Chancellor to relax the public sector pay cap.

Sources close to Boris Johnson have made it clear he wants a better

Downing Street says decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis.

Figures out today show that, for the first time in nearly

a decade, more nurses and midwives are leaving the profession in the UK

In the year to March, the number registered fell by nearly

1,800, to almost 691,000, with British nurses quitting

But the Government said there were now 13,000 more nurses

Speaking earlier on Breakfast, the chief executive

of the Royal College of Nursing, Janet Davies, told us

that pay could be part of the reason people are leaving the profession.

Well, we need to look at the earnings of nurses,

we need to look at how much they have lost over the years,

I was with nurses last year who showed me their payslips

from 2009 and their payslip last week, and it was exactly the same.

Their costs have been going up, so we need to work out

But what we do need is to take that false cap off, which means

at what nurses deserve at the moment.

Ofgem says they will be consulting on how to protect the most

vulnerable customers from higher prices and around 2 million people

could face lower bills as a result. They have plans to make switching

energy suppliers easier. The public inquiry into decades

of historical child abuse in Jersey will report its

findings later today. More than 600 witnesses have given

evidence about abuse in children's Police recorded more

than 500 alleged offences, of which 315 were said to have been

about that this morning. Clare saying you cannot compare the

conduct of a comedian with that of the President. Another viewer says

it is not the sense of humour failure, and the man is Potus. It

comes after allegations of him threatening TV reporters and we were

speaking to Scott Lucas, an expert in politics a few moments ago. One

thing he was saying is that there is a lot of talk around the White House

that the first thing President Trump does when he wakes up, looks at the

TV, looks at social media and starts reacting so the White House have to

spend much of the day reacting to that, because there is no filter at

that point, so that is what Scott Lucas was saying.

A number of flights into Gatwick Airport were diverted

last night after reports of a drone flying close to the runway.

EasyJet said four of its flights had been diverted, while British Airways

said one plane had been sent to Bournemouth.

Other flights had to circle the airport as a precaution.

Coming up on the programme, Carol will have the weather from

And Sally is also there for a us today. She has been speaking to Andy

Murray, and she is beside the queues, which are very calm and

collected. Good morning, and have you noticed? I am not alone. Our

special guest this morning, Judy Murray is with me on the sofa. We

have lots of sports news to get through, but first of all I have to

say congratulations, there is a new Murray baby on the way. Yes, lovely

news. You must be delighted, brilliant. Let's start with the

tennis. Andy Murray begins his defence of the title later on centre

court. He has been suffering with a hip

problem, but Andy Murray says he is fit as he starts the defence

of his Wimbledon title today. He is first up on centre court

against the world number 134, Murray is desperately short

of practice on grass. He was forced to pull out of two

exhibition matches last week. It is just a little bit stressful,

because at this point in the year, right before the slam,

and the biggest tournament of the year for me, as a Brit,

you want to be prepared. And I haven't been in that

position before, really. But you just have to

try and stay patient, Fellow British number one

Johanna Konta also has question She has been struggling with injury

since she fell heavily at Eastbourne on Friday, but has said

she is recovering really well. She faces the woman who knocked

her out of the first round of the French Open,

Hsieh Su-wei, from Taiwan. Straight on Centre Court

after Murray is the two-time winner She has only recently

returned to the tour, after her playing hand was injured

in a knife attack in December. But she looks in great form,

winning the Aegon Classic in Birmingham a few weeks ago,

a result which has made her one It was my dream, my motivation,

to be here, to step And no, I just don't

get it, as well. Yes, the people probably think

about it, but I am not I have already won the biggest

fight, before, and I won already, Britain's Chris Froome

and Geraint Thomas had a lucky escape on the second stage

of the Tour de France. They recovered from this crash

to reach the finish in Liege. Reigning champion Froome

remains sixth overall, with his Sky teammate Geraint Thomas

in the leader's Yellow Jersey. Tommy Fleetwood won

the French Open golf. The Englishman followed his fourth

place at the US Open He is expected to move

into the world's top 20 today. England beat Sri Lanka at Taunton

yesterday for their second win They chased down 205 with more

than 19 overs to spare, and will next face South

Africa on Wednesday. Let's get back to the tennis,

because we are used to seeing and he looking very professional, but this

year we wanted to find a way to get to know a little bit more about him

-- Andy. So we got together some very, very excited super fans, Andy

Murray super fans, from four corners of Great Britain, to come together

and ask him about the questions that really matter. Have a look.

Welcome, Andy, to our Murray masterclass with our

These are some of the toughest questions you're going to answer

Who's cooking do you prefer, your gran's, mum's, or your wife's?

PS, I have tasted your gran's cooking at the Dunblane tennis

It's definitely not my mum, she doesn't cook well.

It's a really tough question, my gran has a lot of experience

cooking so I would say it would just be her but my wife is also

It isn't my mum, she would definitely be third on the list.

What is the best moment of your life so far?

Best moment of my life would be when my daughter was born.

It ended up being a good year on the court but it was a better one

What is the best thing about being a dad?

It gives you, when you become a parent I think, a different

perspective on life because you now have to take care of someone

It could be eating, walking, talking, good manners,

things like that, so you feel a lot more responsible and I think that's

Who inspired you to play tennis and what would your advice be

if someone wanted to be a tennis player just like you?

I would say my mum inspired me and my brother to play tennis.

She used to play when she was younger and she really coached me

and my brother until we were, like, nine or ten years old.

The best piece of advice that I could give to anyone wanting

to play tennis would be to have fun when you're a kid,

enjoy playing and to listen to your coach.

Who do you send the most text messages to?

I've got my phone in here and it has on my phone...

I'm going to tell you exactly who that is.

Currently it's my wife and my brother would be the two that

Hannah, come on, what's your question?

If you could be anyone in history, who would you be and why?

There's been a lot of amazing people.

As a sports person I would like to have been Muhammad Ali.

He wasn't only amazing at what he did but he also lived

a very interesting and difficult life, and he would have experienced

a lot, so I would have liked to have seen what it was like to

I think that's our toughest question over with.

Toughest one over with, this last one is from me.

You're coming into Wimbledon, 30 years old, you've achieved world

What does the next ten years hold for you, do you know?

I'm hoping the next four or five years still involve me playing

tennis at the highest level but I don't think when I'm

in my late 30s I'll be playing tennis so I hope it means having

a bigger family, I'd like to have more children,

but then after that I have absolutely no idea.

That's still a ways away, I'm still concentrating

How do you think our Mini Murrays have done today?

Kids, what was it like interviewing the best tennis player in the world?

Can I just say thank you to all of those children, and the mums and

dads who brought them along. They were the best interviewers I think

we have heard for Andy. Yes, it was tremendous, and he spoke very easily

to them and spoken language they can understand. That is really important

when you are chatting with kids. Although he wasn't always very

common entry about you! That is fair enough, that is normal. He says

you're cooking is not great. It is not great, my mum is a great cook

but I think you were saying I should stick to the coaching. He was also

saying you taught him to enjoy tennis, trying to play tennis with a

smile on your face and that is something that you are trying to

pass on now to people who are trying to get into tennis, back playing,

and even maybe start coaching. Yes, I started an initiative with the LTA

called She Rallies, and it is about staying in tennis. It is one thing

to get them in but you have to work hard to keep the net, and it is also

about building a much bigger and stronger female coaching workforce,

because I think the two go hand in hand, that if we had more women

delivering, we would better understand how girls tick and what

they want, so we have 26 ambassadors, all part-time, across

the UK. I train them over two days and they go out and find their own

teams of activators from mums, teachers, students, pupils, club

members, in order to get more people delivering, not just teaching but

running little additions, but making it fun and accessible, and that is

the key. So you don't necessarily have to be a great tennis player to

learn how to pass on some enthusiasm for the game? No, absolutely not, we

show them how to make the game simple to teach and therefore to

learn, it is all about breaking down the skills you need to play tennis

and being able to cater for the big numbers in small spaces, and it is

very simple, anyone can get involved. Let's talk about Andy in

more detail, we know he has been struggling with a hit problem. How

has he been to you? How do you think he is? I think his preparation

hasn't been ideal for him, that is just the way it goes. That is just

sport, but I think he has been getting a bit tanner and better

every day, which is all you can hope for, really, when you are carrying

an injury. But he is in good spirits, and of course he knows

exactly what to expect. He loves Wimbledon and gets huge support from

the crowd, so I know he will be out there doing his best to defend the

title. And you know that these players at the highest level, very

often they are going into a big tournament carrying some kind of

injury. Certainly the top four men's players have been around a long

time, haven't they? And they are not necessarily going to always be

injury free. It is something you live with, I guess. Yes, it is part

of your life is dealing with Nicholls and dealing with injuries,

but the top players on the men's side are all in their 30s and are

incredible shape -- niggles. But they have trainers and so forth to

give them the best possible care and advice. But let's see what happens.

I mentioned Johanna Konta, she didn't have the best preparation,

that awful fall at Eastbourne, how can she do here? She can do very

well but there's a number of women that can do well here, without

Serena there's no stand out so it's a chance for all of them and Konta

will be one of the pack who has a chance because she has a big serve,

her game is quite well-suited to the grass so assuming she is fit and in

good shape she has as good a chance as anyone. You mention it is wide

open, especially on the women's side, wide open this year,

opportunities abound, now here's an opportunity Judy Murray can't pass

up. Would you please introduce your friend for the next part of the

programme? Over to my Wimbledon star, Carol, for the weather.

You said some pretty rough things in the past, Judy, but thanks and nice

to see you! This morning we've had the odd shower at Wimbledon but it's

clear the way now, the temperature is rising and the forecast for

Wimbledon is dry. There's the chance of a shower but there's a higher

chance it's going to stay dry and despite the fact you can see 22 on

the chart, we're looking at highs of around 24, possibly 25. After a

cloudy start with a few showers for most it will be dry and sunny

spells. If we start the forecast at 9am in southern England, there's a

fair bit of cloud around this morning, a weak weather front

producing some showery outbreaks of rain here and their. As we go

further north through the Midlands into East Anglia and northern

England, again we are looking at variable amounts of cloud, some

sunny breaks and in Scotland, a much drier day than yesterday with some

sunshine but still a few showers in the west. Beautiful start to the day

in Northern Ireland with sunshine, a few showers flirting with the far

north. Across Wales, back into the cloud again, breaking up around some

sunny spells, one or two showers, and showery outbreaks of rain and

murky conditions in south-west England heading towards

Gloucestershire. Further east again, through Dorset into Hampshire, back

under the cloud but that will break up and we will see sunny spells.

Through the course of the day we lose our weather front from the

south, the cloud breaks, sunshine coming through and through the

afternoon the cloud will start to build in the west of Northern

Ireland heralding the arrival of a weather front. In light breezes,

highs of 24, feeling quite pleasant and still be odd shower in East

Anglia and four example Kent, but they will be the exception rather

than the rule. Through the evening and overnight the rain continues to

advance across Northern Ireland, heavy at times, then gets into

central and southern Scotland and northern England. Quite drizzly

across much of Wales. Temperature wise we are in good shape, 11 to 15.

Tomorrow we start off with that band of rain in Northern Ireland, central

and southern Scotland and northern England, drifting east so turning

more showery in Northern Ireland through the day with sunshine. To

the south of that in England and Wales, more cloud than today but

still sunny spells, highs of 2425. To the north of the rain band, a few

showers in the north of Scotland but a lot of dry weather and still

pleasant with high teens temperatures -- 24 or 25. On

Wednesday the odd spot of rain across central and southern

Scotland, northern England and Northern Ireland but won't be

raining all the time, though. To the north of that, bright spells and a

few showers. To the south of that, fair bit of sunshine and hot and

humid. In England and Wales we are looking at the mid 20s or even the

high 20s as we skipped towards the London area, about 28, 80 two

Fahrenheit in old muggy -- skip. Really warm. I'm admiring how

beautiful the grass is -- 82 Fahrenheit -- money.

Ben was talking about Ofgem and the limit on energy firms and how they

can charge vulnerable customers and you've got more on that? On talking

to the boss of the regulator. These proposals come from the regulator

Ofgem and they are intended to cap how much NEG firms can charge

customers. There are plans in place to overall price comparison sites

that should make it easier to switch. Let's speak to the head of

Ofgem -- energy firms. Dermot Nolan is in London. Good morning. This all

came about because the government wrote to you and said you need to

tackle the problem in the market with standard variable rates, people

being charged too much, the industry took that to mean 17 million could

see a price cap on how much they pay. What you're announcing today

affect just 2 million, why the difference? We're announcing today

the focus on vulnerable customers, which is important, energy is an

essential is the so we're announcing plans we will work intensively with

consumer groups in the coming weeks to say how we can offer extra price

protection -- energy is an essential is this. That's one of our central

ideas. The second set of things we're announcing is a further set of

measures that will help people engage more easily in the market,

help the non- vulnerable customers if you will, find it easier to

switch and use price comparison websites and generally be able to

get a better deal. That's the nub of our approach, helping Rob people in

the market with engagement and helping those that are vulnerable --

most people. No one is arguing they need their help but that's about 2

million people, what about the 15 million who are still on variable

tariffs that cost more, they aren't switching and they paid far too much

-- the help. There are 4 million people on prepaid Ferries. We need

to make sure they have good protections -- metres. I take your

concern about the market generally but the measures we have announced

have made it easier for people to switch and use price comparison

websites. In particular we are focusing on something new today, for

people who have been on the same deal for years, we will use a

digital deal Cheika which could be a game changer -- deal Cheika. We've

talked about coming up with regulation and legislation to

protect customers and make it easier to switch but people aren't doing

it, it's at a nine-year high, more are doing it but not enough are

doing it and the energy firms think it's great. Energy firms don't think
