Hello, this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
A plan for a revolution in cancer care using gene tests. | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
The mapping of DNA could mean tailor made treatments for millions | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
Good morning, it's Tuesday fourth July. | :00:17. | :00:41. | |
We hear from the family of the youngest victim | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
of the Manchester Arena bombing, Saffie Roussos, speaking | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
for the first time about their loss on what would have been | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
We didn't want to just let her birthday pass. We just wanted to | :00:50. | :00:59. | |
celebrate her birthday through doing this. | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
Ministers are told to hold their nerve over public sector pay | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
Nearly five million people are self-employed - | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
but they don't automatically get the minimum wage. | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
I'll look at what it means for workers. | :01:11. | :01:20. | |
It all went well yesterday, didn't it? | :01:21. | :01:27. | |
Injury fears prove unfounded as Andy Murray breezes | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
into the second round at Wimbledon with a straight sets victory | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
Carol has the weather. Not much of a brief today. It will be dry and | :01:33. | :01:47. | |
sunny but we have persistent rain across the central area of the UK -- | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
breeze. If you come to Wimbledon, only 10% chance of a shower. And we | :01:53. | :02:02. | |
might play tennis! Something to look forward to. | :02:03. | :02:03. | |
A plan to revolutionise the treatment that cancer patients | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
receive, through individually mapping their DNA, is being proposed | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
by the Chief Medical Officer for England. | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
The proposals would mean millions of patients would have treatments | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
that were directly targetted at the particular strain | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
Our medical correspondent Fergus Walsh reports. | :02:17. | :02:24. | |
More than 30,000 NHS patients, mostly with cancer or rare diseases, | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
have had their entire genetic code mapped. | :02:28. | :02:28. | |
Some patients with cancer are having the genetic profile of their tumours | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
analysed to determine which is the best treatment for them. | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
Sally told me that Jim Rome testing needs to be turned into a national | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
network, to ensure all patients have access | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
Patients need to be close to their treatments. | :02:47. | :03:02. | |
All people with rare diseases, of whom there are at | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
Most patients with cancers and quite a lot of infections. | :03:06. | :03:19. | |
Dame Sally says six in ten cancer patients who get gene tested | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
receive the personalised treatment based on their DNA | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
It costs ?680 to map a person's genetic | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
code, but it gets cheaper every few months. | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
In some cases, DNA mapping can be cheaper than existing tests | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
or avoid the need for invasive biopsies. | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
This report is an attempt to democratise genomics, | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
moving DNA analysis into the mainstream so that more | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
patients can benefit from personalised, targeted treatments. | :03:48. | :04:03. | |
We will be speaking with Dame Sally Davies later. | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
After days of pressure from some Cabinet ministers to lift the one % | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
public sector pay cap, Philip Hammond has said | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
the government must hold its nerve. | :04:13. | :04:13. | |
Last night, the Chancellor said the Government would continue | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
to assess the balance between being fair to public | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
servants and the taxpayers who fund their wages. | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
Our political correspondent Chris Mason joins us now | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
What has he said? It's almost as if the cabinet table has been set up in | :04:23. | :04:38. | |
the garden of Downing Street or in the street outside Parliament. | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
Anyone walking past can hear what Cabinet ministers have had to say. | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
I've run out of fingers on one hand yesterday tried to count the number | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
of Cabinet ministers who have publicly said that perhaps it was | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
time to say goodbye to the 1% public sector pay cut. Perhaps we shouldn't | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
be that surprised that Chancellor Philip Hammond quite late last night | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
in a speech in London to business leaders was pretty aggrieved in his | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
language, saying it was time for a grown-up debate about public sector | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
pay saying they should be a balance struck between properly rewarding | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
public servants and ensuring it was fair for those who paid for them, in | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
other words, taxpayers. That are bleak, the Chancellor is saying, | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
"Hang on a minute." There may be a clamour for change and he is not | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
saying there won't be a change that he isn't shifting the policy yet. In | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
other words, we need to wake of the individual pay review Polec -- | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
bodies to make their individual recommendations and then see what | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
the government does. The teachers and police officers are coming in | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
the next few weeks but nurses who reached a decision with their pay | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
body a few months ago, they are in for a long wait. Will thou be a pay | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
rise for 5 million public sector workers? Possibly. -- will there be? | :06:01. | :06:09. | |
You had a long pause there. A new report warns that nearly | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
700,000 children in England are living in families | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
described as "high risk". The report by the | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
Children's Commissioner, Anne Longfield, also says many | :06:25. | :06:25. | |
vulnerable young people struggle with abuse or mental | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
health problems. It concludes that large numbers | :06:29. | :06:29. | |
of children who need help Whether the victims of abuse, | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
living in unstable households or dealing with mental health | :06:33. | :06:51. | |
problems, there are many reasons that children | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
could be vulnerable. The children's Commissioner | :06:55. | :06:55. | |
for England as the data doesn't She says these children | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
are often invisible, and don't receive | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
the support they need. The report aims to produce | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
an accurate picture of the scale It found nearly 700,000 children | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
live in high-risk families. Almost 30,000 live with adults | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
receiving drug or alcohol treatment. 200,000 are recognised as having | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
experienced abuse or trauma. In almost 600,000 cases, | :07:14. | :07:32. | |
children were so vulnerable, where the state had to step | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
in to provide support. The fact is that nobody knows | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
at the moment how many vulnerable We have had 12 statisticians | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
working over four months, on the best data available, | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
and this is the best estimate We also know, while the statistics | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
are shocking, they are the tip The Children's Minister says support | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
for vulnerable children is being given across | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
the Government, but says Kensington and Chelsea Council has | :07:55. | :07:56. | |
chosen a new leader. Councillor Elizabeth Campbell | :07:57. | :08:04. | |
replaces Nicholas Paget-Brown, who resigned following criticism | :08:05. | :08:05. | |
over the authority's response She apologised to the community | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
for the handling of the disaster. The first thing I want to do is | :08:08. | :08:21. | |
apologise. This is our community and we have failed it, when people | :08:22. | :08:34. | |
needed us the most. We are truly sorry. As a new leader, I will | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
appoint a new Cabinet tomorrow and things are going to change. The | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
first thing I'm going to do is to reach out to our community so we can | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
begin to heal the wounds. Charities that harass donors | :08:45. | :08:45. | |
for cash could be fined up to 25,000 pounds under new rules | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
being introduced this week. A new Fundraising Preference | :08:49. | :08:50. | |
Service beginning on Thursday will allow | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
the public to ask charities If charities choose to ignore | :08:53. | :08:54. | |
warnings from the regulator they will be reported | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
to the information Commissioner South Korean authorities say | :08:59. | :09:00. | |
North Korea has fired a ballistic missile from its western region - | :09:01. | :09:09. | |
the 11th detected missile South Korean officials say | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
an unidentified rocket was tracked Media in Japan are reporting it | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
landed in Japanese waters. North Korea has increased | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
the frequency of its nuclear and missile tests in recent | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
months raising tensions. Liverpool could be set | :09:23. | :09:32. | |
to lose its UNESCO World Heritage status over concerns | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
that planned skyscrapers Originally given World | :09:36. | :09:36. | |
Heritage status in 2004, recognising the docks role | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
as a major trade centre, if removed Liverpool would become | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
only the second city to be deleted The Government will have the chance | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
to review protective measures before One small step for man, | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
one giant leap for fried food. History was made after a Hull chip | :09:50. | :10:02. | |
shop delicacy called a pattie The pattie, made from fried mashed | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
potato seasoned with herbs, was sent up 37km - | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
to the edge of the Earth's atmosphere - attached | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
to a weather balloon. It was launched from | :10:17. | :10:26. | |
a site in Sheffield - and after a short flight | :10:27. | :10:28. | |
above the UK it floated back down and landed in a field | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
in Lincolnshire. Question of the day, was it still | :10:32. | :10:41. | |
edible? A year ago, we had cold chips in the studio. It was really | :10:42. | :10:52. | |
bad. There is one other thing we need your help with today. Later in | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
the programme, we are looking at a new film called What If Women Ruled | :10:57. | :11:08. | |
The World? . What did you think of that? Send in your comments. Or you | :11:09. | :11:21. | |
can tweet us. And you can tell us what you think about Wimbledon as | :11:22. | :11:22. | |
well. The big mug is out. That's no way to | :11:23. | :11:33. | |
talk about me. Sorry, couldn't resist it. | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
We have been doing game, set, mug. Watch me fail. I will do the Murray | :11:38. | :11:50. | |
technique. This is what Andy Murray did. Oh! Just didn't work. We have | :11:51. | :11:58. | |
in timing the players and the aim is to get as many tennis balls inside | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
this mug as they can. Andy Murray Court 14 in. We also filled with | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
Johanna Konta who played today and came through the first round no | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
problem. How would she do in game, set, mug? Have a look at this. | :12:14. | :12:20. | |
Morning everybody. I'm delighted to say we are joined for our BBC | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
breakfast mug challenge with the British number one Johanna Konta. | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
Good morning. Good morning. You have faced some challenges in your time. | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
Had you ever faced anything quite like this? I think this is the | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
biggest challenge of all. Game, set, mug. You have 30 seconds. You are | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
already primed. What is your technique? I will approach it with | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
as much control as possible so I will go under rum. I will time you | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
for 30 seconds on my phone. You ready? -- under arm. Nice. Get the | :12:55. | :13:01. | |
measure of it. That was a good one. It's really difficult to get the | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
length of this shot. This is more challenging than you might think. | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
Keep going. We have 15 seconds left. You are halfway now, Johanna Konta. | :13:12. | :13:21. | |
More speed, go as fast as you can, just keep trying. We have five | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
seconds left. Johanna Konta, five, of four, three, two, one. Yes! You | :13:27. | :13:33. | |
got it in! Let's have a look. Let's not have a look. -40 eight. Two. -- | :13:34. | :13:52. | |
minus 48. I can't believe she did that the week before Wimbledon with | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
all the training and everything else going on but you can see how | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
difficult it is. An fully, though, I have the most glamorous ball girl in | :14:00. | :14:06. | |
wind -- in Wimbledon helping me. You need a bit more practice. Shall I do | :14:07. | :14:18. | |
it under arm? No chance. I can't! Well done! High five! My trouble is | :14:19. | :14:34. | |
my eyesight. I'll do one more. Look at back! Let's look at the game, | :14:35. | :14:44. | |
set, mug leaderboard. I believe Andy Murray is top. I think he has 14. | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
There we saw Johanna Konta, second with two. Many more people to come. | :14:51. | :15:00. | |
Did I just get at two in? I am equal with Johanna Konta! You did! I'm | :15:01. | :15:08. | |
impressed. Now onto the serious business of the Wimbledon weather. | :15:09. | :15:15. | |
Anyway, this morning it is lovely in Wimbledon. The Sun is beating down, | :15:16. | :15:22. | |
the temperatures already 14 Celsius and the forecast is going to stay | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
largely dry. I say largely dry because there is only a 10% risk of | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
showers. So we are not going for bone dry and increasingly through | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
the day we will see more cloud spread in from the west. It will | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
break up through the course of the afternoon and we will see some sunny | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
spells developing. Temperatures up to the low 20s. It is going to turn | :15:42. | :15:54. | |
warmer for us all, though, as we go through the next few days, with | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
temperatures in some parts of the South hitting 30 Celsius, but not | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
today. Today we have got some sunshine in the south-east and | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
variable amounts of cloud. That cloud is big enough to produce some | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
patchy light rain and drizzle until we get to the north of England and | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
southern and central Scotland. Here we have some persistent and heavy | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
rain. North Scotland, clearer skies and a chilly start. That rain also | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
extending in through Northern Ireland and as we come south back | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
into Wales, south-west England, again bright skies, some sunny | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
spells around in that holds true as we drift back towards the east, | :16:24. | :16:25. | |
across southern counties of England as well. Some cloud around, some | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
patchy light rain and drizzle, but a lot of dry weather as well stop | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
through the course of the day that band of rain you can see in the | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
Central swathe of the country will be heavy and persistent. It will be | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
on and off through the course of the day as well. Northern Scotland | :16:42. | :16:43. | |
seeing some sunshine. Further south where we have the cloud it drifts | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
towards the east and breaks up. You could see one or two showers across | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
the Midlands and East Anglia, temperatures around 25 Celsius in | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
London, fresher than that as we move further north and feeling chilly if | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
you are stuck under the band of rain. Through the evening and | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
overnight, we still have the weather front reducing the rain but | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
increasingly it will fragment and turned lighter and more drizzly. | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
There will also be some hill fog and coastal fog as well. Temperatures in | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
towns and cities staying in double figures. Tomorrow we have the | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
remnants of that front across Northern Ireland, southern Scotland | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
and northern England, where it will brighten up as we go through the | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
course of the afternoon. A lot of dry weather tomorrow. Quite a bit of | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
sunshine as well. Temperatures in the roughly 18 to about 20 but | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
across England and Wales we are looking widely at the mid to high | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
20s. Some parts of the south-east could hit 30, but it should be hot | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
and humid and dry at Wimbledon tomorrow. As we head on in the | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
Thursday, importing this humid air from the near continent so | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
increasingly we will see thunderstorms develop, especially | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
across England, Wales and southern Scotland. If you catch one, it could | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
well be torrential. That may cause some interruptions at Wimbledon. If | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
you move further north into Northern Ireland in Scotland we are looking | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
at something that bit right, but still the potential on Thursday for | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
somewhere in the south to hit 30 Celsius. So once again it is getting | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
hot, but not quite as hot as it was a couple of weeks ago when it hit | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
34.5dC. It redlly does look gorgeous. Plenty more from Carol and | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
Sally from Wimbledon throughout day two. The front page of the Guardian, | :18:24. | :18:31. | |
we are talking about public sector pay and they have really looked at | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
the impact on public sector pay, on police and teachers. They say the | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
average pay of teachers fell by ?3 an hour in real terms, and that of | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
police officers by ?2 an hour, through the public sector freezers. | :18:47. | :18:54. | |
This is according to a new report. Lots of different stories being told | :18:55. | :19:02. | |
in that High Court hearing. The front page of the Daily Telegraph, | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
lots of pictures on the front pages of the Duchess of Cambridge, who was | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
at Wimbledon yesterday. Quite a few people getting excited about her new | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
haircut, apparently she has lost six inches. Charities face ?25,000 fines | :19:16. | :19:25. | |
for pestering. We will be speaking with guests later in the programme | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
about that. The front page of the Times is about tax cuts, we have | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
been discussing that already this morning. I love the story because I | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
am very forgetful. Next time you can't find your keys, you can't | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
remember your O-level history, but obviously for U2 Mac, GCSE history, | :19:44. | :19:50. | |
find yourself in trouble about forgetting your wedding anniversary, | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
do not blame old age but your brain's mechanisms for neural | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
transience. It is all good. Just having a moment relapse of neural | :20:01. | :20:11. | |
transience. -- momentary lapse. And the Mirror, give heroes a decent | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
rise, all about the public sector pay gap. And various quotes from the | :20:18. | :20:24. | |
Prime Minister that she has made after disasters, and saying it is | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
time to remove that pay cap on public sector. That is something we | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
will be talking about throughout the morning as well. Can you remember | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
what that thing is called? And neural... Nearly. Neuronal | :20:38. | :20:49. | |
transience. Exactly. Good morning to you. One story in the business pages | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
as far as the business press is concerned. More delays to the | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
Hinkley point power station. That is on the front of the Telegraph, and | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
also the business pages of the Guardian and the FT, ?1.5 billion | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
extra cost as far as that project is concerned. Remember, this is the | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
untried and untested technology. The one in France being dealt six years | :21:14. | :21:21. | |
behind schedule -- being built. There is an expectation that the | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
project on the south coast could run even further over, and the cost, of | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
course, for all of us when it comes to how much we are paying for the | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
energy it generates. I want to show you this one as well, in the Times. | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
30 jobs on offer at Italy's Central Bank. They got 85,000 applications | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
for those 30 jobs. They said they will whittle down the number was, | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
reducing it to people who have degrees, then a multiple-choice | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
exam, but 300 candidates will interview for 30 vacancies. We have | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
time for one quick one. Yours looks a bit more interesting. I have | :21:55. | :22:10. | |
tortoise that got home. This is graffiti that was actually written | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
on the frescoes in ancient Egypt, written by people who went there and | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
complaining about what they had seen, and they are trying to | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
preserve it now as something academic. What do they complain | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
about? I can't read the hieroglyphics, said one. I visited | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
and did not like anything apart from the sarcophagus. They would be able | :22:32. | :22:40. | |
to study that for their GCSE. As long as it is not their own levels. | :22:41. | :22:51. | |
You are watching Breakfast from BBC News. | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
The main stories this morning: England's chief medical officer says | :22:55. | :22:56. | |
millions of cancer patients could soon have their DNA mapped | :22:57. | :22:59. | |
The Chancellor says the Government must hold its nerve, | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
despite some Cabinet colleagues calling for an end to the public | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
Eight-year-old Saffie Roussos was the youngest of the 22 victims | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
She went to the Ariana Grande concert with her sister Ashlee | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
and their mum, Lisa, who is still recovering in hospital. | :23:15. | :23:16. | |
Today would have been Saffie's ninth birthday, | :23:17. | :23:18. | |
and to mark the day, her dad, Andrew, and siblings Ashlee | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
and Zander have spoken for the first time to the BBC | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
You couldn't be out with Saffie without having fun. At her dream was | :23:25. | :23:42. | |
to be famous. It was her everything, and we bought her the tickets for | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
Christmas, and she was just counting the days, the seconds, and it was | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
just Ariana Grande until 9pm, 10pm at night, and she would sing and | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
dance to every single song. She was Ariana Grande obsessed. So to see | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
how happy she was, it was just... Obviously I had to go with her. You | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
were watching her watching Ariana pretty much. She said come on, | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
Ashlee, you promise me you would get up and dance. So we had a little | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
dance, and she was just so happy, just elated all-night, grinning. | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
When did you first become aware there was something wrong? As soon | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
as the blast went off. Obviously it was... I mean, to me, I kind of just | :24:27. | :24:34. | |
knew. I don't know how, I knew what happened. I remember I was thrown to | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
the ground, and my next instinct, I just sort of rolled over and | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
crawled, because I couldn't walk. Were you aware of where your mum was | :24:43. | :24:49. | |
at the time, where Saffie was? Two no, I couldn't see anyone, but a | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
sort crowds and crowds of people. For you, that night, Andrew, had you | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
come to the arena to collect? What were you doing? We were sitting | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
there for just a few minutes, and didn't hear anything, but just hell | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
broke loose. It was just people, children, screaming. Crying. And | :25:08. | :25:15. | |
then, as I turned around the corner, saw Ashlee outside, injured. And | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
when did you learn about Saffie? A detective that I spoke to in the | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
hospital, he went away and came back about 12am, and told me. And you | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
have all had to cope, haven't you, with Saffie 's loss, and also Lisa's | :25:32. | :25:37. | |
recovery. How was she doing? She is fighting. I mean, she's got that | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
many injuries around the body. Just that alone. She is like a soldier. | :25:42. | :25:49. | |
How are you finding it, Xander? There is times when you're sad, and | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
times when you're happy. So is kind of like a mix. The world knew what | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
had happened. Lisa was not conscious. When she came round, you | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
had to tell her. No. She looked at me and said to me, Saffie 's gone, | :26:05. | :26:11. | |
isn't she? I was dreading it, she just looked at me and said she is | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
gone, isn't she? She knew. The fourth of July, Saffie 's birthday, | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
that is why you are speaking out. Yes, we didn't want to just let the | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
best they pass. I just wanted to celebrate Saffie 's birthday, | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
through doing this. What has your family lost? We've lost everything. | :26:32. | :26:39. | |
We have. Because life will just never be the same. | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
And it is really sobering watching that, remembering Saffie, isn't it? | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
That was Andrew Roussos and his childrenm Ashlee and Xander, | :26:50. | :26:52. | |
speaking to our reporter Judith Moritz. | :26:53. | :26:53. | |
We would just like to say a big thank you to them all for speaking | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
to us about Saffie this morning. morning and into the afternoon as | :26:58. | :30:23. | |
I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom | :30:24. | :30:37. | |
Plenty more on our website at the usual address. | :30:38. | :30:41. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker | :30:42. | :30:46. | |
We'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, | :30:47. | :30:50. | |
but coming up on Breakfast this morning - | :30:51. | :30:52. | |
We'll be at the looking at some brand new scientific innovation - | :30:53. | :30:55. | |
as engineers find ground breaking ways of detecting the tiniest | :30:56. | :30:58. | |
of cracks in some of our biggest buildings. | :30:59. | :31:00. | |
Also this morning, sandwich chain Subway has more | :31:01. | :31:02. | |
outlets than McDonalds, but Ben will be asking their boss | :31:03. | :31:05. | |
why it's still not cracked the breakfast market. | :31:06. | :31:07. | |
And, Bridget Kendall was the BBC's Moscow correspondent | :31:08. | :31:09. | |
during the collapse of the Soviet Union - | :31:10. | :31:11. | |
she'll be here to talk about her new book which looks | :31:12. | :31:14. | |
at that time through the eyes of those who experienced it | :31:15. | :31:17. | |
But now a summary of this morning's main news. | :31:18. | :31:23. | |
A plan to revolutionise the treatment that cancer patients | :31:24. | :31:25. | |
receive, through individually mapping their DNA, is being proposed | :31:26. | :31:28. | |
by the Chief Medical Officer for England. | :31:29. | :31:36. | |
The proposals would mean millions of patients would have treatments | :31:37. | :31:38. | |
that were directly targetted at the particular strain | :31:39. | :31:41. | |
Patients will benefit if we can offer them the scan of their genome | :31:42. | :31:45. | |
that will make a difference to their treatments. | :31:46. | :31:47. | |
That's clearly all people with rare diseases, | :31:48. | :31:49. | |
of whom there are three million or more in this country. | :31:50. | :31:52. | |
It's most patients with cancers and quite a lot of infections. | :31:53. | :31:57. | |
We'll be speaking to the Chief Medical Officer - | :31:58. | :32:00. | |
Dame Sally Davies, that's at ten past seven. | :32:01. | :32:07. | |
The Chancellor says the government must "hold its nerve" - | :32:08. | :32:10. | |
despite some cabinet colleagues calling for an end to the public | :32:11. | :32:13. | |
Speaking in London last night, Philip Hammond said | :32:14. | :32:15. | |
he understood people were "weary" after seven years of austerity | :32:16. | :32:18. | |
but rejected calls to "take the foot off the pedal". | :32:19. | :32:25. | |
A new report warns that nearly 700 thousand children in England | :32:26. | :32:28. | |
are living in families described as "high risk". | :32:29. | :32:30. | |
The report by the Children's Commissioner, | :32:31. | :32:32. | |
Anne Longfield, also says many vulnerable young people struggle | :32:33. | :32:34. | |
with abuse or mental health problems. | :32:35. | :32:36. | |
It concludes that large numbers of children who need help | :32:37. | :32:38. | |
Charities that harass donors for cash could be fined up | :32:39. | :32:47. | |
to ?25,000 under new rules being introduced this week. | :32:48. | :32:50. | |
The Fundraising Preference Service enables users to stop | :32:51. | :32:52. | |
e-mail, telephone calls and post from charities that are deemed | :32:53. | :32:55. | |
Those who ignore warnings will face sanctions from the regulator. | :32:56. | :32:59. | |
The BBC has confirmed it will invest an additional ?34 million | :33:00. | :33:12. | |
in expanding digital programming for children, | :33:13. | :33:13. | |
as it attempts to win their attention in a changing online | :33:14. | :33:16. | |
The new investment will be spent on content that will include video, | :33:17. | :33:20. | |
blogs, vlogs, podcasts, quizzes, games and apps. | :33:21. | :33:22. | |
Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood is calling | :33:23. | :33:32. | |
-- we know sally is at Wimbledon for the next few weeks. Lots of good | :33:33. | :33:42. | |
news from yesterday. Good morning, Sally. Yes. Lots of good news to | :33:43. | :33:49. | |
report from yesterday and Carol will tell you with more details of later | :33:50. | :33:55. | |
some fantastic weather. It will look gorgeous on the television today and | :33:56. | :33:59. | |
if you are coming today, you have Piggot reggae. Andy Murray -- you | :34:00. | :34:04. | |
have peaked at good day. Tradition dictates that | :34:05. | :34:06. | |
the defending men's champion opens play on Centre Court and Andy Murray | :34:07. | :34:08. | |
didn't disappoint the home crowd. Against the unpredictable | :34:09. | :34:12. | |
Alexander Bublik, Murray looked to be feeling no ill effects | :34:13. | :34:14. | |
from his hip injury. He made it through in straight sets | :34:15. | :34:16. | |
in under two hours and will play The way he plays, he comes to the | :34:17. | :34:29. | |
net a lot, he is approaching. Worked on my passing shots and lobs and | :34:30. | :34:34. | |
those things because they will be at different type of match. He plays a | :34:35. | :34:36. | |
bit more from the net. Joining Murray in the second | :34:37. | :34:40. | |
round is Aljaz Bedene. The British number four came | :34:41. | :34:43. | |
through an epic five setter, The match lasting well over four | :34:44. | :34:45. | |
hours - four tie-breakers and 8-6 There's been a big upset | :34:46. | :34:49. | |
at the top of the men's draw. Three time Grand Slam winner | :34:50. | :34:58. | |
and world number three He was beaten by 21-year-old | :34:59. | :35:00. | |
Wimbledon debutant Danil Medvedev. The world number 49 is playing | :35:01. | :35:04. | |
in only his third grand slam. A much easier day's | :35:05. | :35:11. | |
work for Johanna Konta. She beat Chinese Taipie's Hsieh | :35:12. | :35:13. | |
Su-Wei in straight sets, avenging her first round defeat | :35:14. | :35:15. | |
at the French Open to And Konta will be joined | :35:16. | :35:18. | |
by Heather Watson. The British number two | :35:19. | :35:29. | |
continued her impressive form, beating Marina Zanevska | :35:30. | :35:32. | |
of Belgium in straight sets. Venus was involved in a fatal car | :35:33. | :35:59. | |
crash and she was asked about it. No words to describe how devastating | :36:00. | :36:05. | |
and... Yeah. I'm completely speechless. I'm just... Maybe I | :36:06. | :36:20. | |
should go. Difficult scenes in the press conference. | :36:21. | :36:21. | |
Slovakian world champion Peter Sagan won Stage three | :36:22. | :36:24. | |
of the Tour de France, after a 126-mile stage that started | :36:25. | :36:27. | |
Britain's Geraint Thomas finished eighth to keep the leader's yellow | :36:28. | :36:31. | |
jersey and extend his race lead to 12 seconds - | :36:32. | :36:34. | |
ahead of his team leader, Chris Froome, who's up to second | :36:35. | :36:37. | |
Aston Villa have signed former Chelsea and England captain John | :36:38. | :36:40. | |
The 36-year-old defender has signed a one year deal | :36:41. | :36:43. | |
Terry turned down offers for more money to play in the Premier League | :36:44. | :36:48. | |
because he didn't want to play against Chelsea. | :36:49. | :36:56. | |
History is huge. The stadium itself. The training ground and facilities. | :36:57. | :37:02. | |
When you look back at the history of the players that have been here over | :37:03. | :37:09. | |
the years, in credible. It is a big football club and deserves to be in | :37:10. | :37:13. | |
the Premier League and that's the reason I'm here. | :37:14. | :37:17. | |
What are the chances of Aston Villa playing Chelsea next cup? I want to | :37:18. | :37:33. | |
tell you about Mandy Minella. After hate match, she gave a press | :37:34. | :37:38. | |
conference and announced something... She played the match at | :37:39. | :37:45. | |
4.5 months pregnant. That's brilliant, isn't it? To turn up and | :37:46. | :37:57. | |
at Wimbledon 4.5 months pregnant. We will see you at bit later. We will | :37:58. | :38:04. | |
stay with the sporting theme. Watching live Premier League action | :38:05. | :38:09. | |
via unauthorised providers is common among football fans, | :38:10. | :38:12. | |
according to a new survey done More than a third of | :38:13. | :38:15. | |
Premier League football fans regularly watch matches online | :38:16. | :38:18. | |
via unofficial streams. 32% of fans don't know | :38:19. | :38:20. | |
whether it's illegal to stream Premier League matches | :38:21. | :38:22. | |
from unofficial providers. Younger fans are more likely | :38:23. | :38:24. | |
to watch matches via unofficial streams, two thirds of the surveyed | :38:25. | :38:28. | |
people aged 18-34 say they do so at least once a month, compared | :38:29. | :38:32. | |
to a third of 35-54 year-olds. Jim, can you talk us | :38:33. | :38:35. | |
through the findings? Are there some surprises? We spoke | :38:36. | :38:53. | |
to 1000 fans and as you say, we spoke about the various viewing | :38:54. | :38:58. | |
habits, some of them legal. Also the use of unofficial streams and | :38:59. | :39:02. | |
websites. The numbers are quite surprising. We talk about nearly | :39:03. | :39:06. | |
half of fans at some point having watched the game by an unofficial | :39:07. | :39:12. | |
stream and a lot of fans doing this regularly. One in five fans every | :39:13. | :39:15. | |
week. The number of younger fans, as you say, are more likely. There is | :39:16. | :39:22. | |
confusion around the law which seems to be a big thing coming out of it. | :39:23. | :39:26. | |
One third of fans says it is illegal and you have another third saying | :39:27. | :39:30. | |
they don't know what the law is. A few other actors in between about | :39:31. | :39:34. | |
whether it might be illegal or might not and whether you might get in | :39:35. | :39:39. | |
trouble from Sky or the Premier League. Some people are willing to | :39:40. | :39:44. | |
break the law and some people don't know the law. The law is you | :39:45. | :39:48. | |
shouldn't do it. Football fans talk about it being a grey area but as | :39:49. | :39:52. | |
far as copyright experts and the Premier League is saying, it is | :39:53. | :39:57. | |
black and white, it is illegal. That was the European Court Justice | :39:58. | :40:00. | |
ruling a few weeks ago saying streaming is the same as downloading | :40:01. | :40:04. | |
so even if you are not saving something to your computer or your | :40:05. | :40:08. | |
phone, even if you are just watching it, you are still breaking the law. | :40:09. | :40:11. | |
In terms of technology, it's pretty easy to find these things on the | :40:12. | :40:15. | |
Internet. There is a special box you can get. These boxes are legal. | :40:16. | :40:23. | |
There are legal waste used them. Issue comes when the codec is | :40:24. | :40:29. | |
modified and it allows you to watch pirated content. We have prosecuted | :40:30. | :40:37. | |
people selling these boxes when they have been modified and that is one | :40:38. | :40:41. | |
of the tactics the Premier League is now hoping to use. They want more | :40:42. | :40:45. | |
people prosecuted for this and cut it off at the source and make the | :40:46. | :40:49. | |
software harder to get hold of so it's not worth it for fans and makes | :40:50. | :40:53. | |
it more trouble to try and do it. Let's talk about the reasons why | :40:54. | :40:57. | |
they are doing it. Is it to do with the price of watching live football? | :40:58. | :41:02. | |
The most common reason, interestingly, a friend or family | :41:03. | :41:05. | |
member was doing it and they watched along with it. It wasn't really | :41:06. | :41:09. | |
need... I was just better at the time. They also talked about the | :41:10. | :41:18. | |
quality of the streams that were available. They work in parable to | :41:19. | :41:21. | |
watching it on TV. The third biggest reason was the price of traditional | :41:22. | :41:24. | |
TV packages. People saying, "Why should I pay ?50 per month for Sky | :41:25. | :41:28. | |
when I can get all the episodes I want to watch". The number of people | :41:29. | :41:34. | |
watching football dropped a bit last season. Is this part of it? All of | :41:35. | :41:39. | |
the providers saw their view is going down for their traditional TV | :41:40. | :41:42. | |
channels. That doesn't mean people are not watching Sky through the | :41:43. | :41:46. | |
other digital channels. There are other things happening. Also last | :41:47. | :41:50. | |
season you have big teams like Newcastle and Aston Villa that were | :41:51. | :41:54. | |
not in the Premier League so that might have had an impact. At the | :41:55. | :41:57. | |
moment, it's impossible to say how much the illegal streaming is an | :41:58. | :42:03. | |
impact on the legal viewing but it's obviously concern for the Premier | :42:04. | :42:06. | |
League and they say they will clamp down on it and keep going at it. | :42:07. | :42:10. | |
They will protect their copyright. Very interesting, thank you very | :42:11. | :42:13. | |
much. 642. This is breakfast on BBC News. Our main story this morning. | :42:14. | :42:19. | |
Millions of cancer patients could soon have their DNA mapped | :42:20. | :42:22. | |
People are calling friend and to that topic sector pay gap. Carol is | :42:23. | :42:37. | |
at Wimbledon and I'm worried about her, she seems to be have shrunk. -- | :42:38. | :42:50. | |
public sector. Sally has been playing this game this morning. She | :42:51. | :42:55. | |
needs bit more practice. The sun is beating down. Look at the view, it | :42:56. | :42:59. | |
is so tranquil. If you like putting your feet into what -- in the water | :43:00. | :43:05. | |
but of course, you can't. The forecast for Wimbledon today is a | :43:06. | :43:10. | |
dry one. There is a cave yet to that, a 10% risk of a shower. -- | :43:11. | :43:18. | |
caveats. A bit more sun will come later and the cloud will break up. | :43:19. | :43:22. | |
There is more clout today than yesterday. We're looking at highs of | :43:23. | :43:27. | |
23. -- cloud. As we look at the UK as a whole, it will turn much warmer | :43:28. | :43:35. | |
and for some, it will be hot. We have sunshine and cloud. For England | :43:36. | :43:40. | |
and Wales, quite a bit of cloud, producing patchy light rain or | :43:41. | :43:43. | |
drizzle here and there until we get to northern England and central and | :43:44. | :43:47. | |
southern Scotland. Here we get heavy and persistent rain. Scotland, and | :43:48. | :43:54. | |
not -- are bright and cool start. In Northern Ireland, a band of rain | :43:55. | :43:58. | |
that is affecting northern England and southern Scotland. For Wales, | :43:59. | :44:03. | |
cloudy start that it will brighten up. She could see the odd shower | :44:04. | :44:07. | |
this morning as well and as we drift across Southern counties, a similar | :44:08. | :44:12. | |
story. Variable amounts of cloud and sunshine. As the go through the day, | :44:13. | :44:16. | |
the clout that we have will push further eastwards from the West and | :44:17. | :44:19. | |
breakup. -- cloud. They could produce showers across East Anglia. | :44:20. | :44:23. | |
We still have the persistent and heavy rain across Northern Ireland | :44:24. | :44:27. | |
-- Northern Ireland, central and southern Scotland and northern | :44:28. | :44:30. | |
England. Temperatures under that band will feel chilly but we are | :44:31. | :44:34. | |
looking at double figures in into the high-teens in the north. In the | :44:35. | :44:40. | |
south, we could hit up to 26 around the London area. Through this | :44:41. | :44:44. | |
evening and overnight, the weather system is still ensconced across the | :44:45. | :44:49. | |
central swathe of the UK. The rain will increasingly turn lighter and | :44:50. | :44:52. | |
more patchy in nature. There will be some hill fog and coastal fog but | :44:53. | :45:06. | |
equally on either side of it, we will see clear skies. It won't be a | :45:07. | :45:10. | |
cold night. The temperatures you can see here will be in towns and cities | :45:11. | :45:14. | |
and the countryside will be low. Tomorrow, we start off once again | :45:15. | :45:18. | |
with the weather front. Start on a cloudy note with patchy rain but | :45:19. | :45:21. | |
through the day, it will brighten up. Tomorrow, they will be a lot of | :45:22. | :45:24. | |
sunshine across the board. Temperatures in England and Wales | :45:25. | :45:27. | |
widely mid- high 20s. Locally and parts of the south-east, up to 30 | :45:28. | :45:31. | |
and it will feel humid. In the northern half of the UK, more | :45:32. | :45:34. | |
comfortable with temperatures into the low 20s. For Thursday as we | :45:35. | :45:37. | |
import the humid air from France, it will spark off some thunderstorms. | :45:38. | :45:41. | |
There will be long, dry sunny spells on Thursday as well. Where you catch | :45:42. | :45:44. | |
the thunderstorms, the likely areas England, Wales and southern Scotland | :45:45. | :45:47. | |
that his the most amount of detail we have at the moment. They will be | :45:48. | :45:52. | |
torrential and you will know all about it. Another sticky day with | :45:53. | :45:57. | |
highs of two about 30 Celsius. In the North, Scotland and Northern | :45:58. | :46:00. | |
Ireland, something more pleasant and comfortable. We are looking at | :46:01. | :46:04. | |
temperatures up to a bout high 20s or low 20s, depending on where you | :46:05. | :46:06. | |
are. Should self-employed people | :46:07. | :46:16. | |
in the UK be entitled At the moment they are not, | :46:17. | :46:18. | |
but that could be changing. Yes, this isn't about people that | :46:19. | :46:23. | |
run their own business paying themselves more, but about people | :46:24. | :46:30. | |
who are hired by other firms, but are officially | :46:31. | :46:33. | |
classed as self-employed. There has been a lot of debate | :46:34. | :46:35. | |
about the so-called gig economy, where lots of people work | :46:36. | :46:38. | |
for themselves as drivers or couriers, but for a company that | :46:39. | :46:41. | |
decides what they get paid per hour. Well, there are around five million | :46:42. | :46:55. | |
people who are self-employed Half of them, even working | :46:56. | :46:57. | |
full-time, are classed as low-paid, and they are not covered | :46:58. | :47:04. | |
by the minimum wage. The Resolution Foundation | :47:05. | :47:07. | |
says they should be. Conor D'arcy is from | :47:08. | :47:09. | |
the Resolution Foundation. I touched on it about who we are | :47:10. | :47:22. | |
discussing, but we should be clear it is not about people who run their | :47:23. | :47:26. | |
own firm and take money from the firm is a wage. It is people who | :47:27. | :47:30. | |
work for somebody else but officially are classed as | :47:31. | :47:34. | |
self-employed. That's right, so if you ring up a plumber, he works for | :47:35. | :47:39. | |
himself, says his own prices, he decides how much to charge you, and | :47:40. | :47:43. | |
this doesn't apply to him because he can't pay himself more. If you work | :47:44. | :47:48. | |
for a company, and they have set prices, what we are saying is while | :47:49. | :47:51. | |
they are doing that work there should be getting the minimum wage. | :47:52. | :47:55. | |
And some of these firms you might call up other so-called gig economy | :47:56. | :47:59. | |
firms. It is someone who delivers your pics are, drives you around in | :48:00. | :48:03. | |
a taxi, and those are the jobs we are really keeping an eye on, | :48:04. | :48:06. | |
because actually they are working a lot of hours in some cases were not | :48:07. | :48:11. | |
much money. Absolutely. The first thing is around employment status, | :48:12. | :48:16. | |
first of all, whether they should be classed as workers or employees | :48:17. | :48:21. | |
rather than self-employed. There are lots of court cases around that at | :48:22. | :48:26. | |
the moment so if they are entitled to those rights they should | :48:27. | :48:29. | |
absolutely get them. What we are talking about is people who are in | :48:30. | :48:31. | |
those companies, definitely self-employed, to make sure that... | :48:32. | :48:35. | |
There are some really low paid self employed people, to give them some | :48:36. | :48:38. | |
pay protection would be really helpful. And clearly that pay | :48:39. | :48:40. | |
protection will be very important for people who do these jobs Day in | :48:41. | :48:45. | |
and day out. Some say they do these jobs because they are flexible, a | :48:46. | :48:49. | |
bit of money on the side, it strikes me that some of these jobs would not | :48:50. | :48:53. | |
exist if there there was a minimum wage. I think that flexibility is | :48:54. | :48:56. | |
important for a lot of people who really benefit from it and during | :48:57. | :48:59. | |
the recession and recovery, that was helpful because we had really high | :49:00. | :49:03. | |
employment levels. The argument that we are afraid of getting rid of | :49:04. | :49:06. | |
these jobs just because we are installing a minimum wage, you could | :49:07. | :49:09. | |
apply that to any job or employee position so I think giving a basic | :49:10. | :49:13. | |
flaw to anyone doing this work should not mean that these companies | :49:14. | :49:17. | |
have to go out of business or that these jobs don't work any more. | :49:18. | :49:20. | |
There should be a way to balance both that flexibility and a little | :49:21. | :49:24. | |
bit of protection at the bottom. One of the biggest problems as far as | :49:25. | :49:28. | |
the job market in the UK is concerned is that flexibility. We | :49:29. | :49:31. | |
know that productivity is not where it should be, wedges on where they | :49:32. | :49:34. | |
should be, income is falling. From an employer's point of view, they | :49:35. | :49:48. | |
would find it very difficult to impose or pay a minimum wage? I | :49:49. | :49:52. | |
don't think so. You look across the rest of the economy, the national | :49:53. | :49:55. | |
minimum wage has become a big increase in the cost employers are | :49:56. | :49:58. | |
facing, so it is not straightforward, but if other | :49:59. | :50:00. | |
companies using employees and workers can do this, gig economy | :50:01. | :50:04. | |
firms or similar workers should be able to meet at least that basic | :50:05. | :50:07. | |
minimum. It has such an interesting area. Thank you very much, and more | :50:08. | :50:11. | |
from me after seven a.m.. Thank you very much, we will see you later. | :50:12. | :50:13. | |
Well, some of the world's brightest minds are gathering in London today | :50:14. | :50:16. | |
to showcase the best of British scientific achievement. | :50:17. | :50:18. | |
They are down at the annual Royal Society Summer Science | :50:19. | :50:21. | |
exhibition, which opens to the public later this morning. | :50:22. | :50:24. | |
Breakfast's Tim Muffett is there for us now. | :50:25. | :50:26. | |
This team are from the University of St Andrews, and they are | :50:27. | :50:36. | |
investigating how birds use tools and the wildlife to catch prey and | :50:37. | :50:39. | |
how that has affected human evolution. This is the Royal Society | :50:40. | :50:44. | |
Summer Science Exhibition, the Royal Society founded in 1660, and it | :50:45. | :50:48. | |
showcases the very best of UK science. It is about showing what | :50:49. | :50:52. | |
developments are happening, what might happen in the future. Now, | :50:53. | :50:56. | |
there are exhibitors from right across the UK here. Taking a look | :50:57. | :51:01. | |
over here, you can see some footprints, pictures of a dinosaur, | :51:02. | :51:05. | |
that gives you a clue into some of the filming I have been doing to see | :51:06. | :51:09. | |
what scientists here are hoping to discover, and how it might help us | :51:10. | :51:11. | |
all in the future. For the purposes of this report, I | :51:12. | :51:20. | |
am a criminal fleeing a crime scene. Police and forensics teams arrive | :51:21. | :51:24. | |
looking for clues. But thanks to a new project at Bournemouth | :51:25. | :51:27. | |
University, my footprints will reveal more about me than ever | :51:28. | :51:32. | |
before. So what we are doing here is known as photogrammetry. It is | :51:33. | :51:36. | |
recording with a normal camera 20 or 30 images of a single footprint to | :51:37. | :51:41. | |
build a 3-D model of the footprint that we are interested in. This is | :51:42. | :51:45. | |
how the footprint is recorded. You can even flip it underneath. OK, so | :51:46. | :51:50. | |
here is my shoe, then, that is the image of it. So what can you | :51:51. | :51:55. | |
ascertain about the way I walk? You have a very unique and distinctive | :51:56. | :51:59. | |
heel print. You can at least see that you tread very heavily on the | :52:00. | :52:02. | |
outside of your soul. This is distinctive, and it would be enough | :52:03. | :52:06. | |
to potentially make that distinction between these sorts of crimes. Like | :52:07. | :52:11. | |
finger prints and DNA, the team at Bournemouth University would like a | :52:12. | :52:15. | |
footprint database to be set up. Two police forces in England have | :52:16. | :52:18. | |
already started using this technology. It is not just our | :52:19. | :52:22. | |
footprints that are unique, but also our voices. At University College | :52:23. | :52:26. | |
London, is a primer Katherine Woodward is performing at a rather | :52:27. | :52:33. | |
unusual venue. What we are trying to do is find different ways of | :52:34. | :52:37. | |
investigating voices, and also starting to map out some of the | :52:38. | :52:43. | |
complexities of the voice. Up until now, we have been very limited in | :52:44. | :52:46. | |
that kind of information we can get about what was going on inside the | :52:47. | :52:50. | |
mouth when someone is talking. There are some really extraordinary shapes | :52:51. | :52:55. | |
she makes, where she is dropping her drawdown and really hitting those | :52:56. | :52:58. | |
high notes. You can either pushing the sound out. It is the smallest | :52:59. | :53:05. | |
space I have ever sung in in my life. Next it is the turn of rapper | :53:06. | :53:16. | |
Professor Elemental. As you can see their home at the tongue distorts | :53:17. | :53:21. | |
and changes when here's rapping. The team analysing and comparing extreme | :53:22. | :53:27. | |
vocal performances can bring extreme benefits. Their children growing up | :53:28. | :53:33. | |
with a cleft palate, adults who have a speech impediment following a | :53:34. | :53:37. | |
stroke and at the moment the speech and language specialists who work | :53:38. | :53:40. | |
with them are working in the dark in terms of actually understanding what | :53:41. | :53:44. | |
is going on inside their mouth. So this research will be shared with | :53:45. | :53:48. | |
speech therapists, and will hopefully boost our understanding of | :53:49. | :53:54. | |
the human voice. This is the place that I like to flip my flows, but | :53:55. | :54:00. | |
wrapping in this tube is not a place to scratch my nose. -- rapping. | :54:01. | :54:08. | |
It is about showcasing the best of British sciences from the university | :54:09. | :54:17. | |
sectors. The ideas people can come along here and get their hands on | :54:18. | :54:21. | |
scientific experience. These events first began in the 1850s, didn't | :54:22. | :54:25. | |
they? It was a bunch of fellows showing and telling, explaining to | :54:26. | :54:29. | |
their friends and colleagues what on earth was going on, what their | :54:30. | :54:33. | |
science was all about. In the 1990s this developed into a broader public | :54:34. | :54:38. | |
event, and I think we are delighted at the fact that we can bring the | :54:39. | :54:41. | |
general public into the Royal Society and showcase some of the | :54:42. | :54:44. | |
extraordinary science that is going on. Let's have a quick look at that | :54:45. | :54:48. | |
extraordinary science. You are from the University of Bristol. What have | :54:49. | :54:51. | |
you been developing? This stand is all about testing the safety of | :54:52. | :54:56. | |
structures. So these are testing the safety of planes, bridges, power | :54:57. | :55:00. | |
stations, and keeping them safe, so making sure there are no cracks or | :55:01. | :55:05. | |
corrosion in them. Over here we are testing the remaining thickness of | :55:06. | :55:07. | |
the structure using ultrasound sensor that is much quicker than | :55:08. | :55:11. | |
anything that has ever been made before, so it could be attached to a | :55:12. | :55:17. | |
drone, making these tests much, much faster and better. So the senses | :55:18. | :55:23. | |
will be permanently attached to the structure. So we are health testing | :55:24. | :55:29. | |
the structure here. It is such a fascinating building, this, because | :55:30. | :55:32. | |
it is full of history wherever you go. Former presidents include Sir | :55:33. | :55:39. | |
Christopher rent and Isaac Newton. A big team looking at developments, | :55:40. | :55:46. | |
and also a team from Cardiff University -- Sir Christopher Wren. | :55:47. | :55:53. | |
We are demonstrating making polymers and making energy. More from here | :55:54. | :56:00. | |
later on, it is fascinating stuff. You can sense the history and the | :56:01. | :56:06. | |
future of scientific exploration. It is fascinating in that piece of | :56:07. | :56:13. | |
seeing the CAT scan as well. That sopranos singing, I could talk about | :56:14. | :56:15. | |
that for a long time. Still to come this morning: | :56:16. | :56:18. | |
What if women ruled the world? We will meet the artists behind | :56:19. | :56:20. | |
a new play which depicts a female-led society | :56:21. | :56:23. | |
tackling a global emergency, Amy says underpants will always make | :56:24. | :56:40. | |
it to the laundry basket, and Dora says I prefer my world leaders to be | :56:41. | :56:45. | |
born with the humour Miller the gene. So many suggestions, no more | :56:46. | :56:51. | |
war, discussing at over coffee and cake! Some suggestions seem more | :56:52. | :56:57. | |
realistic than others. Most would be saying that is the case already. | :56:58. | :56:59. | |
Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. | :57:00. | :00:18. | |
Really very warm for Thursday, and Friday, a little bit fresher | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
A plan for a revolution in cancer care using gene tests. | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
The mapping of DNA could mean tailor made treatments for millions | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
Good morning, it's Tuesday fourth July. | :00:38. | :00:55. | |
We hear from the family of the youngest victim | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
of the Manchester Arena bombing, Saffie Roussos, speaking | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
for the first time about their loss on what would have been | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
We didn't want to just let her birthday pass. | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
And we just wanted to celebrate Saffie's birthday through | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
It's got more shops around the world than McDonalds but as sandwich | :01:12. | :01:20. | |
chain, Subway plans a major expansion. | :01:21. | :01:21. | |
I'll ask the boss whether healthier fast food is the recipe for success. | :01:22. | :01:30. | |
Liverpool's waterfront is famous around the world, | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
but could it be about to lose its World Heritage status, | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
It all went to plan for Andy Murray yesterday. He didn't seem to | :01:36. | :01:53. | |
struggle to much with his his injury. How will the Wetherby, | :01:54. | :02:06. | |
Carol? A 10% risk of a shower. The forecast for the rest of the UK is | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
largely dry but there is an area of heavy, persistent rain extending | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
from Northern Ireland and into northern England. We will be back | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
with my details later. A plan to revolutionise | :02:18. | :02:25. | |
the treatment that cancer patients receive, through individually | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
mapping their DNA, is being proposed by the Chief Medical | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
Officer for England. The proposals would mean millions | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
of patients would have treatments that were directly targetted | :02:35. | :02:36. | |
at the particular strain Our medical correspondent | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
Fergus Walsh reports. More than 30,000 NHS patients, | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
mostly with cancer or rare diseases, have had their entire | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
genetic code mapped. Some patients with breast, lung, | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
skin and other cancers are having the genetic profile of their tumours | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
analysed to determine which is Dame Sally Davies told me genome | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
testing needs to be turned from a cottage industry | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
into a national network, Patients will benefit if we can | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
offer them the scan of their genome that will make a difference | :03:02. | :03:10. | |
to their treatments. That's clearly all people | :03:11. | :03:19. | |
with rare diseases, of whom there are 3 million | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
or more in this country. It's most patients with cancers | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
and quite a lot of infections. Dame Sally says six in ten cancer | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
patients who get gene tested receive personalised | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
treatment based on their DNA profile and that | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
proportion will rise. It costs ?680 to map a person's | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
entire genetic code, but it's getting cheaper | :03:38. | :03:45. | |
every few months. In some cases, DNA mapping can be | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
cheaper than existing tests or avoid the need | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
for invasive biopsies. This report is an attempt | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
to democratise genomics, moving DNA analysis | :03:58. | :04:06. | |
into the mainstream of the NHS so that more and more | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
patients can benefit from personalised, | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
targeted treatments. We'll be discussing this | :04:12. | :04:12. | |
is more detail with with the Chief Medical Officer | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
Professor Dame Sally Davies After days of pressure from some | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
Cabinet ministers to lift the one % public sector pay cap, | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
Philip Hammond has said the government must | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
hold its nerve. Last night, the Chancellor said | :04:26. | :04:26. | |
the Government would continue to assess the balance | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
between being fair to public servants and the taxpayers | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
who fund their wages. Our political correspondent | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
Chris Mason joins us now Where will we end up with this one? | :04:34. | :04:53. | |
You are asking me to make a prediction about politics and I have | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
learned that that is not something I can do. The whole discussion about | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
public sector pay is an illustration because the honest answer to that | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
question is we don't have an answer. The Chancellor Philip Hammond in | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
charge of all the money gave a speech late last night in London in | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
which he said yes, he gets that people are weary of the hard slog of | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
public sector pay restraint that yes, there are 5 million people who | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
have had a 1% pay cap. But government policy isn't changing. | :05:28. | :05:36. | |
That is despite the fact that my calculation, six government | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
ministers said that the public sector pay gap should change. The -- | :05:41. | :05:51. | |
Philip Hammond is a no, it can't change. The review bodies that | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
recommend what should happen to different parts of the public sector | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
when it comes to pay will continue to make their recommendations, the | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
ones for teachers and police officers are coming up in the next | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
couple of weeks. Then it will be for the government to decide what it's | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
going to do. I think what will happen is that things will change | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
slowly. No big bang, no radical shift. I think I just made a | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
prediction which is what I set out to try and avoid doing... I was | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
going to pick you up on that. Good prediction in the end, even though | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
you tried. A new report warns that nearly | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
700,000 children in England are living in families | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
described as "high risk". The report by the | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
Children's Commissioner, Anne Longfield, also says many | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
vulnerable young people struggle with abuse or mental | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
health problems. It concludes that large numbers | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
of children who need help Whether the victims of abuse, | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
living in unstable households or dealing with mental health | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
problems, there are many reasons why young people could be | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
deemed vulnerable. The children's commissioner | :06:54. | :07:15. | |
for England and Longfield says official data doesn't effectively | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
record those at risk. She warns this means | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
children are often invisible to the authorities, and don't | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
receive the support they need. Today's report aims to produce | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
an accurate picture of the scale It found nearly 700,000 children | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
live in high-risk families. Of those, almost 30,000 live | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
with adults receiving drug 200,000 children are recognised | :07:31. | :07:32. | |
by their local authority as having And in almost 600,000 cases, | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
children were deemed so vulnerable, the state had to step | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
in to provide support or care. The fact is that no one knows | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
at the moment how many vulnerable We have had 12 statisticians | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
working over four months on the best data available and this | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
is the best estimate we can get to. We also know, while the figures | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
themselves are shocking, they are also the tip | :07:55. | :07:56. | |
of the iceberg. The Children's Minister Robert | :07:57. | :07:58. | |
Goodwill says support for vulnerable children is being given | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
across the Government, Almost three weeks after | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
the disaster at Grenfell Tower, Kensington and Chelsea Council has | :08:04. | :08:10. | |
elected a new leader. Councillor Elizabeth Campbell | :08:11. | :08:12. | |
replaces Nicholas Paget-Brown, who resigned following criticism | :08:13. | :08:14. | |
over the authority's The first thing I want to do | :08:15. | :08:16. | |
is I want to apologise. This is our community and we have | :08:17. | :08:28. | |
failed it when people needed So no buts, no ifs, no | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
excuses, I am truly sorry. As new leader, I will appoint | :08:32. | :08:40. | |
a new cabinet tomorrow and things South Korean authorities say | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
North Korea has fired a ballistic missile from its western region - | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
the 11th detected missile South Korean officials say | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
an unidentified rocket was tracked Media in Japan are reporting it | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
landed in Japanese waters. North Korea has increased | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
the frequency of its nuclear and missile tests in recent | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
months raising tensions. Charities that harass donors | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
for cash could be fined up to 25,000 pounds under new rules | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
being introduced this week. The Fundraising Preference Service | :09:11. | :09:12. | |
enables users to stop e-mail, telephone calls and post | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
from charities that are deemed Those who ignore warnings will face | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
sanctions from the regulator. It currently ranks alongside | :09:18. | :09:29. | |
Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids - but the city of Liverpool | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
could lose its UNESCO World Heritage If removed Liverpool would become | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
only the second city to be deleted Jayne McCubbin | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
is there for us. We can see why it is a UNESCO World | :09:42. | :09:51. | |
Heritage site. It is beautiful. That we tell you why they had the first | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
place, iconic, beautiful, historically significant. So much so | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
that UNESCO gave it to this heritage status. A calling card that it was | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
allowed to send out the world saying this place is gorgeous, come and | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
visit. However, UNESCO believes this is under threat. Here is the reason | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
why. Let me turn the camera over here. You will see at development of | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
high rises over there which marks the edge of the Liverpool water's | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
development site. UNESCO say there are plans afoot down there and here | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
is a development of high rises over there which marks the edge of the | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
Liverpool Waters development site. UNESCO say there are planned keeping | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
with the splendour, the grandeur of this area. They want the government | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
to think again and the City Council, think again, or risk losing this | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
World Heritage status in 2018. More later. | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
We'll be back at Wimbledon for the weather with Carol | :10:52. | :10:58. | |
Patients with breast, lung, skin and other cancers could be | :10:59. | :11:05. | |
offered revolutionary new treatments, if plans to build | :11:06. | :11:07. | |
genetic profiles of their tumours go ahead. | :11:08. | :11:09. | |
These new proposals could mean genetic tests would be | :11:10. | :11:11. | |
offered to patients within five years. | :11:12. | :11:13. | |
England's Chief Medical Officer, Professor Dame Sally Davies | :11:14. | :11:15. | |
is behind the plan and joins us from Central London. | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
What are the implications Professor Davies? | :11:19. | :11:30. | |
How would this work? Well, what we know already is that if you look at | :11:31. | :11:39. | |
the whole genome, that is all that DNA that we have in each of our | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
cells and compare that with cancer cells then on 60% or more of cases, | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
two thirds, we see changes in the cancer gene known which tells us | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
something about the best way to treat those patients. Sometimes it | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
says they don't need strong, heavy, nasty treatment. Sometimes they say, | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
"There is a treatment here that will work well. Sometimes it says don't | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
go to that treatment, they will get nasty side-effects. Already, our | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
genome project is showing us we can do this and two thirds of patients | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
will benefit. What we need to do now is change how we deliver our | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
services. At the moment, we have genetic services genomics built up | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
where the scientists are and the regional genetic services are. I | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
want to bring science to patients, democratise it and make sure we have | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
a national service so patients everywhere can get access to | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
treatments that will make a difference. I am sure you are aware | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
that whenever we talk about health on this programme, we must talk | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
about cost as well. Part of this mapping process compare with an MRI | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
scan or something like that? Will that be a factor? Cost matters, of | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
course it does. What I am arguing at the moment because of the cottage | :13:06. | :13:12. | |
industry, we are already spending a lot of money and if we nationalise | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
it and won it properly with the best technology, the price will come down | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
so the amount we are spending, we can get a lot more test. Then we | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
will have to make some investments but let's start with making what we | :13:25. | :13:31. | |
are spending effectively. Is at 6- ?700? When we started it, it was | :13:32. | :13:40. | |
?7,000. It has to come down to about ?700. We know that if we had | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
nationalised laboratories, factory laboratories, then new technology a | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
rise, every 18 months- two years, that will bring the price down and | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
make it higher quality and the turnaround faster for patients. We | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
need to bring everything away from a cottage industry and make this a | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
proper science -based service for our patients. When you look at this | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
is mourning and hearing you describe it, it sounds like a brilliant plan, | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
cost-effective -- this morning. What are the stumbling blocks to rolling | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
this out across the United Kingdom? I see you smile. I imagine you have | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
put quite a lot of thought into what. You. Absolutely. First of all, | :14:26. | :14:32. | |
we need our 100,000 genome project to find that out. For instance, what | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
we learned through that project is that ordinary samples from tumours | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
will not give you the DNA. You have got to do fresh, frozen ones. The | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
NHS has already embarked on a massive programme of transformation | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
to get the right samples. We have got to spread that wider. Now we | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
need to move to centralised laboratories and NHS England has | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
already put out some information to the service about wanting to | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
commission nationally. We are steadily moving at we have to | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
confess which is probably why I smiled, that's my own tribe, the | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
doctors, don't like change. We need to patients saying, "Why am I not | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
getting this test? Why are you doing it locally? I want the better, | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
cheaper test done nationally." What you were | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
some viewers might be saying, how do you put pressure on? You have to go | :15:24. | :15:30. | |
to your GP and say, come on, give them a kick up the backside? Not | :15:31. | :15:37. | |
GPs. Doctors, generally. In a cancer service. The other point I want to | :15:38. | :15:44. | |
make, we need patience to understand that many to allow use of that data | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
alongside other patients' data to get the best diagnosis. If they | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
don't want their day to put into the national database and used in that | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
way, that is fine but their own diagnosis would then be based on | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
published data which is always 1-2 years out of date at best. For the | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
best diagnosis, we need these National laboratories. We need | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
patience to agree for their data to be used alongside other patients. | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
That means we have got to really look after that date are carefully. | :16:18. | :16:23. | |
I can reassure you, our genetic database is not only behind the NHS | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
firewall that has even more restrictions so we know everyone who | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
has accessed it and they can only do it with permission and then they | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
will get the best information and the best treatment available. | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
And protection of data, we know, is really important these days. | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
Carol is at Wimbledon with a look at this morning's weather. | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
It strikes me that you must be one of the people who really know | :16:50. | :16:56. | |
Wimbledon extremely well, and how to get from one place to another | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
quickly. And they are getting ready this morning. They certainly are, | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
you are quite right. Good morning. You can see that the ground staff | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
are preparing to take the covers of off court number one but it is a | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
hive of activity at this time of the morning and through the night. The | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
housekeeping staff work through the night ensuring that Wimbledon is | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
speak and span for all of us to come down and enjoy, or of course watch | :17:22. | :17:29. | |
television. -- spick and span. And the sun is beating down. It is | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
lovely warm and you will find that the forecast for Wimbledon today is | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
more cloud than yesterday, but nonetheless that cloud will tend to | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
break up and we will see some sunny spells. Temperatures could get as | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
high as 25 today with light winds. If you are coming down, they're that | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
in mind. For all of us in the next few days it get warmer, or it is | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
going to get hotter. Some parts in the south of England hitting 29 or | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
30 Celsius but this morning it is a pleasant start to the day. Quite a | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
bit of cloud across southern areas, some sunshine, and that cloud here | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
and there is producing the odd bit of patchy, like rain and drizzle. As | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
we head into northern England we run into a band of more persistent rain | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
and that also stretches across southern and central Scotland. It | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
has been a chilly start in northern Scotland, but here we are looking at | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
sunshine and a few showers. The same band of rain affecting northern | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
England affecting Northern Ireland, and some of that will be heavy and | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
persistent as we go through the day. For Wales in south-west England we | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
can't rule out a shower this morning. There is enough cloud, but | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
that will break and brighten up and we will see the sunshine come | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
through. The same holds true as we drift to the west, towards southern | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
counties of England. Through the course of the day that end of rain | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
will remain more or less where it is and it will be heavy and persistent | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
through the course of the day. For northern Scotland, one or two | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
showers and some sunshine but for the rest of England and Wales, the | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
cloud in the west breaks up and there is a chance of a shower in | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
East Anglia and the Midlands this afternoon, hires up to 25 Celsius. | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
Under the rain it will feel cool, and despite the sunshine it will be | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
chilly across the far north of Scotland. Through the evening and | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
overnight that band of rain tends to weaken, become more patchy in nature | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
and there will be heal and coastal fog around it. It will remain dry | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
and the countryside it will be chilly, but the temperatures you can | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
see on screen represent towns and cities. So tomorrow I weather front | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
is still across Northern Ireland, southern Scotland and northern | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
England as a weak feature. Cloudy, with some patchy rain but improving | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
through the day. The rain will tend to fizzle and tomorrow will probably | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
be the sunniest day of the week for most of us. For England and Wales it | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
will be very warm and hot, with temperatures widely from | :19:45. | :19:46. | |
Gloucestershire, Bristol, towards the London area, 28, 29 or 30 but | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
generally speaking we are looking at the low to mid 20s. On Thursday we | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
continue to import some hot air from France. We will likely see some | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
torrential thunderstorms developing. The likely areas for those at | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
England, Wales and southern Scotland. That is as much detail as | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
we can pin on it at the moment, in between there will be lengthy sunny | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
spells and we won't all see those storms. Highs again potentially up | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
to 30. For Scotland and Northern Ireland, some sunshine, but it won't | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
feel as oppressive. It will be rather pleasant, with temperatures | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
that little bit lower. It looks so glorious. The court being unveiled | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
behind Carroll as they make those final preparations. You can watch | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
the Wimbledon coverage on BBC throughout the day. | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
There are calls today for some people who are self-employed | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
to still have the right to the minimum wage. | :20:47. | :20:48. | |
Ben has more on that and the other main business stories. | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
Self-employed people should be entitled to the minimum wage, | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
according to a campaign group this morning. | :20:56. | :20:57. | |
It says 5 million people in the UK are self-employed, | :20:58. | :20:59. | |
but many have their rate of pay decided by the firms they work for. | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
That is often in the so-called gig economy, driving taxis, | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
The research from the Resolution Foundation says around half are earn | :21:07. | :21:14. | |
That would include all those people who now work in the so called gig | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
economy, as taxi driver or couriers, and would give them similar rights | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
The cost of building the new Hinkley Point nuclear power | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
station in Somerset could be ?1.5 billion higher than was estimated. | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
The French energy firm EDF, who are backing the project, | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
also said it could also face delays of around 15 months. | :21:33. | :21:43. | |
The sandwich chain Subway has announced plans to open 500 | :21:44. | :21:45. | |
The sandwich firm says it is going to overhaul its menus, | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
I will be talking to Subway's UK boss before 8:00am. | :21:51. | :22:08. | |
It is now just over six weeks since the devastating bomb attack | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
Eight-year-old Saffie Roussos was the youngest of the 22 victims. | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
She went to the Ariana Grande concert with her sister Ashlee | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
and their mum, Lisa, who is still recovering in hospital. | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
Today would have been Saffie's ninth birthday, | :22:23. | :22:24. | |
and to mark the day, her dad, Andrew, and siblings Ashlee | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
and Xander have spoken for the first time to the BBC | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
You couldn't be out with Saffie without having fun. | :22:31. | :22:45. | |
It was her everything, and we bought her the tickets for | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
And she was just counting the days, the seconds, and it was just | :22:52. | :23:00. | |
Ariana Grande till 9:00pm, 10:00pm at night, and she would sing | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
So to see how happy she was, it was just... | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
You were watching her watching Ariana Grande? | :23:11. | :23:17. | |
She said, come on, Ashlee, you promised me you'd get | :23:18. | :23:25. | |
So we had a little dance, and she was just so happy, | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
When did you first become aware there was something wrong? | :23:30. | :23:39. | |
As soon as the blast went off, obviously it was... | :23:40. | :23:41. | |
I don't know how, but I knew what happened. | :23:42. | :23:49. | |
I remember I was thrown to the ground, and then my next | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
instinct, I just sort of rolled over and crawled, | :23:54. | :23:55. | |
Were you aware of where your mum was at the time, where Saffie was? | :23:56. | :24:03. | |
I just saw crowds and crowds of people. | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
For you that night, Andrew, had you come to the arena to collect? | :24:10. | :24:12. | |
We were sitting there for just a few minutes, | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
and didn't hear anything, but just hell broke loose. | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
It was just people, children, screaming, crying. | :24:21. | :24:23. | |
And then, as I turned around the corner, saw | :24:24. | :24:25. | |
A detective that I spoke to in the hospital, he went away | :24:26. | :24:41. | |
and he came back about 12:00am, 12:30am, and told me. | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
And you have all had to cope, haven't you, with Saffie's loss, | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
I mean, she's got that many injuries around her body, | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
There is times when you're sad, and times when you're happy. | :24:53. | :24:59. | |
When she came round, you had to tell her. | :25:00. | :25:14. | |
She looked at me and said to me, Saffie's gone, isn't she? | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
She just looked at me and says she's gone, isn't she? | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
Fourth of July, Saffie's birthday, that is why | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
Yes, we didn't want to just let the birthday pass. | :25:31. | :25:37. | |
I just wanted to celebrate Saffie's birthday, through doing this. | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
We have, we've lost everything, because life will just never | :25:42. | :25:54. | |
It is heartbreaking to watch, isn't it? | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
That was Andrew Roussos and his children Ashlee and Xander, | :26:00. | :26:02. | |
speaking to our reporter Judith Moritz. | :26:03. | :26:04. | |
We would just like to say a big thank you to them all for speaking | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
They wanted to do that interview so that Saffie was remembered on her | :26:09. | :26:16. | |
birthday, as well. Time now to get the news, | :26:17. | :26:17. | |
travel and weather where you are. Plenty more on our website | :26:18. | :29:33. | |
at the usual address. Now, though, it is back | :29:34. | :29:36. | |
to Louise and Dan. Hello, this is Breakfast, | :29:37. | :29:38. | |
with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. A plan to revolutionise | :29:39. | :29:50. | |
the treatment that cancer patients receive, through individually | :29:51. | :29:52. | |
mapping their DNA, is being proposed by the Chief Medical | :29:53. | :29:55. | |
Officer for England. The proposals would mean millions | :29:56. | :29:57. | |
of patients would have treatments that were directly targetted | :29:58. | :30:00. | |
at the particular strain cost matters, of course it does. | :30:01. | :30:17. | |
What I am arguing is because of the cottage industry way we do these | :30:18. | :30:20. | |
tests, we are roadie spending a lot of money and actually, if we | :30:21. | :30:25. | |
nationalise it and run it properly with the best technology, the price | :30:26. | :30:29. | |
will come down so that amount we are spending, we can get a lot more test | :30:30. | :30:31. | |
and a lot better health for people. The Chancellor says the government | :30:32. | :30:33. | |
must "hold its nerve" - despite some cabinet colleagues | :30:34. | :30:36. | |
calling for an end to the public Speaking in London last night, | :30:37. | :30:39. | |
Philip Hammond said he understood people were "weary" | :30:40. | :30:42. | |
after seven years of austerity but rejected calls to "take | :30:43. | :30:45. | |
the foot off the pedal". A new report warns that nearly | :30:46. | :30:48. | |
700,000 children in England are living in families | :30:49. | :30:50. | |
described as high risk. The report by the | :30:51. | :30:52. | |
Children's Commissioner, Anne Longfield, also says many | :30:53. | :30:54. | |
vulnerable young people struggle with abuse or mental | :30:55. | :30:56. | |
health problems. It concludes that large numbers | :30:57. | :30:58. | |

North Korea has fired a ballistic missile from its western region - | :31:02. | :31:09. | |
the 11th detected missile South Korean officials say | :31:10. | :31:11. | |
an unidentified rocket was tracked Media in Japan are reporting it | :31:12. | :31:21. | |
landed in Japanese waters. North Korea has increased | :31:22. | :31:25. | |
the frequency of its nuclear and missile tests in recent | :31:26. | :31:28. | |
months raising tensions. Charities that harass donors | :31:29. | :31:34. | |
for cash could be fined up to 25,000 pounds under new rules | :31:35. | :31:37. | |

million on new content for children As the battle for | :31:59. | :32:02. | |
audiences increases, the BBC says more competition | :32:03. | :32:05. | |
from the likes of Facebook and Netflix means it wants to boost | :32:06. | :32:07. | |
it's online presence. It's expected it that | :32:08. | :32:10. | |
will include more video, blogs, vlogs, podcasts, | :32:11. | :32:12. | |
quizzes, games and apps. One small step for man, | :32:13. | :32:30. | |
one giant leap for fried food. History was made after a Hull chip | :32:31. | :32:36. | |
shop delicacy called a pattie The pattie, made from fried mashed | :32:37. | :32:39. | |
potato seasoned with herbs, was sent up 37km - | :32:40. | :32:46. | |
to the edge of the Earth's atmosphere - attached | :32:47. | :32:49. | |
to a weather balloon. It was launched from | :32:50. | :32:51. | |
a site in Sheffield - and after a short flight | :32:52. | :32:53. | |
above the UK it floated back down and landed in a field | :32:54. | :32:56. | |
in Lincolnshire. You are wondering earlier whether it | :32:57. | :33:11. | |
was still edible. I'm wondering if that was my experience of cold chips | :33:12. | :33:16. | |
and other time on this programme. It gets quite cold up there. | :33:17. | :33:29. | |
Good morning, Sally. Good news from yesterday? No cold chips around | :33:30. | :33:41. | |
here, it's all very, very healthy. The tennis players look after their | :33:42. | :33:47. | |
health, I can tell you. Lots of salads, lots of protein, no chips. | :33:48. | :33:53. | |
We have moved around a little bit this morning. I just want to point | :33:54. | :33:57. | |
something out. Eagle eyed viewers might notice some difference on | :33:58. | :34:01. | |
Court number one. That is the start of the nude retractable roof. We | :34:02. | :34:07. | |
know Centre Court has a roof and they are doing this in stages, it | :34:08. | :34:12. | |
will take until 2019 to be able to completely close. There is a bit | :34:13. | :34:16. | |
that is static over there and it will take a considerable amount of | :34:17. | :34:20. | |
time. Also, they have put in some extra seat. Demand for tickets at | :34:21. | :34:25. | |
Wimbledon is so, so high. A great day here, yesterday, the wheeze. | :34:26. | :34:29. | |
Andy Murray came to his first round might absolutely no problem. -- | :34:30. | :34:33. | |
Louise. We were worried about his hip problem at P plate be | :34:34. | :34:38. | |
unpredictable Alexander Bublik. -- hip problem and he played. Next he | :34:39. | :34:48. | |
plays Germany's Dustin Brown in round two. | :34:49. | :34:52. | |
The way Dustin plays, he comes to the net a lot, | :34:53. | :34:55. | |
You know, work a bit on my passing shots and lobs and those sorts | :34:56. | :34:59. | |
of things because they will be quite a different match. | :35:00. | :35:02. | |
He's unorthadox as well but he plays a bit more from the net than Sasha. | :35:03. | :35:06. | |
Joining Murray in the second round is Aljaz Bedene. | :35:07. | :35:09. | |
The British number four came through an epic five setter, | :35:10. | :35:11. | |
The match lasting well over four hours - four tie-breakers and 8-6 | :35:12. | :35:15. | |
There's been a big upset at the top of the men's draw. | :35:16. | :35:27. | |
Three time Grand Slam winner and world number three | :35:28. | :35:29. | |
He was beaten by 21-year-old Wimbledon debutant Danil Medvedev. | :35:30. | :35:33. | |
The world number 49 is playing in only his third grand slam. | :35:34. | :35:36. | |
A much easier day's work for Johanna Konta. | :35:37. | :35:38. | |
She beat Hsieh Su-Wei in straight sets, avenging her first | :35:39. | :35:41. | |
round defeat at the French Open to the same opponent. | :35:42. | :35:47. | |
And Konta will be joined by Heather Watson. | :35:48. | :35:49. | |
The British number two continued her impressive form, | :35:50. | :35:52. | |
beating Marina Zanevska of Belgium in straight sets. | :35:53. | :35:57. | |
Venus Williams, a five-time winner here, is through to | :35:58. | :36:00. | |
She beat Elise Mertens of Belgium in three sets. | :36:01. | :36:03. | |
Last month Williams was involved in a car crash which left one man | :36:04. | :36:07. | |
dead, and was asked about it in her post match press conference. | :36:08. | :36:10. | |
There are really no words to describe how devastating | :36:11. | :36:13. | |
I am completely speechless and it's just...yeah, | :36:14. | :36:21. | |
Slovakian world champion Peter Sagan won Stage three | :36:22. | :36:35. | |
of the Tour de France, after a 126-mile stage that started | :36:36. | :36:38. | |
Britain's Geraint Thomas finished eighth to keep the leader's yellow | :36:39. | :36:43. | |
jersey and extend his race lead to 12 seconds - | :36:44. | :36:45. | |
ahead of his team leader, Chris Froome, who's up to second | :36:46. | :36:49. | |
Aston Villa have signed former Chelsea and England captain John | :36:50. | :36:53. | |
The 36-year-old defender has signed a one year deal | :36:54. | :36:55. | |
Terry turned down offers for more money to play in the Premier League | :36:56. | :37:00. | |
because he didn't want to play against Chelsea. | :37:01. | :37:04. | |
I spoke about the training ground and the facilities here. | :37:05. | :37:13. | |
When you look back at the history and the players that have been | :37:14. | :37:16. | |
here over the years, the trophies that are behind us | :37:17. | :37:19. | |
It is a big football club and for me deserves to be back | :37:20. | :37:24. | |
in the Premier League and that's the reason I'm here. | :37:25. | :37:29. | |
You might have seen already, we have had some of the biggest gains -- | :37:30. | :37:41. | |
names are tennis player are BBC Breakfast game Game Set Mug. We have | :37:42. | :37:49. | |
had Andy Murray. But see how Johanna Konta got along. | :37:50. | :37:55. | |
Morning, everybody, I am delighted to say we are joined Frau BBC | :37:56. | :38:02. | |
breakfast Mug challenge bit British and other one Johanna Konta. You | :38:03. | :38:08. | |
have chat face some challenges in your time. Have you faced anything | :38:09. | :38:13. | |
like this? -- faced some challenges. Game Set Mug. You have 30 seconds. I | :38:14. | :38:19. | |
need every single second. Do you know what your technique will be? I | :38:20. | :38:23. | |
will approach it with as much control as possible. On the arm. I | :38:24. | :38:27. | |
will time you for 30 seconds on my phone. Are you ready? You are | :38:28. | :38:54. | |
halfway through, keep going, keep going. Speed, more speed, faster, go | :38:55. | :38:58. | |
as fast as you can. Just keep trying for subs you have five seconds flat. | :38:59. | :39:02. | |
Johanna Konta you have five, four, three, two, one! Yet! You got it in. | :39:03. | :39:11. | |
Let's have a look at. You ready? Let's not look. 15! No. -48. Two. | :39:12. | :39:26. | |
Banks were being such a great sport. -- thanks for being. It's really | :39:27. | :39:37. | |
quite difficult. Surely have a quick look at our leaderboard so far? | :39:38. | :39:41. | |
Let's see how our tennis players are doing. Andy Murray is way out in | :39:42. | :39:48. | |
front. He got 14. Johanna Konta got to. --2. We are hugely grateful for | :39:49. | :39:57. | |
everybody who is taking part. It is another day at Wimbledon and on | :39:58. | :40:02. | |
Court number three, a really special match today. I'm delighted to say I | :40:03. | :40:08. | |
am joined by Sue Terry. You are Alex Ward's mum. He is playing against | :40:09. | :40:17. | |
Kyle Edmund today. It's a big day for Alex because I guess this is | :40:18. | :40:22. | |
what he has been working for four years. Huge. Well, since he was 16 | :40:23. | :40:27. | |
and made the decision he wanted to go to Spain to train and get as good | :40:28. | :40:33. | |
as he could tennis. Compete at this level. How did he get here? He | :40:34. | :40:40. | |
played qualifying. P plate free wallah flying -- he played pre- | :40:41. | :40:50. | |
qualifying. He lost in the tie-break in the third set. He got in as a | :40:51. | :40:55. | |
wildcard into the proper qualifying and then he won three matches and | :40:56. | :41:01. | |
each day I went home and tried to see if he had got through. Maybe | :41:02. | :41:06. | |
tomorrow... We were just, you know, hoping. He went and did it on the | :41:07. | :41:15. | |
Friday, I just can't believe it. I've been at sixes and sevens since, | :41:16. | :41:21. | |
I tell you. And other reason why. I hope you don't mind me telling | :41:22. | :41:25. | |
everybody, your son Alex is playing here at Wimbledon on Sue's 60th | :41:26. | :41:36. | |
birthday. How is that for a birthday present? It is the best birthday | :41:37. | :41:40. | |
present ever. I text that to him when I found out. It's just, it's | :41:41. | :41:46. | |
the icing on the cake, in fact. I have not given to birthday a short | :41:47. | :41:50. | |
since Friday apart from my colleagues at work surprised me with | :41:51. | :41:54. | |
loads of gifts but apart from that, I really haven't thought about it. | :41:55. | :41:58. | |
How marvellous that Ashley book the first three days of Wimbledon, like | :41:59. | :42:03. | |
I do every year, say I can watch everybody, I loved the start of it. | :42:04. | :42:08. | |
--I actually booked. At the back of my mind I think, maybe at Alex is | :42:09. | :42:14. | |
there, I will be able to go along. Surely, as a mother of a player, | :42:15. | :42:19. | |
what specials do you get? Digg it to sit in a box? If it is a show court, | :42:20. | :42:27. | |
yes but otherwise, no. -- do you get to sit in a box. Sue! If you could | :42:28. | :42:38. | |
just get me a ground ticket it's just all part of the experience, | :42:39. | :42:51. | |
isn't it? Alex is dropping well down the 800s, it has to be said. He is | :42:52. | :42:56. | |
playing Kyle Edwards and we wish you a happy birthday. We hope you have | :42:57. | :43:01. | |
wonderful day. Thank you much, thank you. I don't know few have noticed, | :43:02. | :43:11. | |
I have throat. Carol, is the pollen level height? -- high. Yes. For the | :43:12. | :43:20. | |
rest of the UK, it is a low or moderate. I am on Court number one | :43:21. | :43:25. | |
as well and you can see how beautiful it is looking. Ricky is | :43:26. | :43:29. | |
out with his electric lawnmower. It is not as noisy as it has been in | :43:30. | :43:33. | |
previous years at the sun is beating down. Temperatures around 15 at the | :43:34. | :43:37. | |
moment. The forecast Wilbert and today is largely dry. -- the | :43:38. | :43:42. | |
forecast for Wimbledon. There is only a 10% risk of a shower. | :43:43. | :43:48. | |
Yesterday, it was 20% and we did catch one, we were unlucky. You will | :43:49. | :43:52. | |
find the cloud will break throughout the afternoon and you will see sunny | :43:53. | :43:55. | |
spells with intentionally up to 25. For all of us up to the next you | :43:56. | :44:01. | |
days, it will turn warmer and for some, hot. Across southern England, | :44:02. | :44:05. | |
there is some sunshine around but also as a bit of clout. We are also | :44:06. | :44:09. | |
looking at one or two showers here or there they are well scattered -- | :44:10. | :44:14. | |
cloud. We have more persistent rain over the north and that extends into | :44:15. | :44:18. | |
central and southern Scotland. Dry out in central Scotland. The | :44:19. | :44:25. | |
Northern Ireland, you are under the same band of rain for northern | :44:26. | :44:29. | |
England so heavy and persistent. Lots of surface spray on the roads | :44:30. | :44:33. | |
this morning from stop the Wales and south-west England, some bright | :44:34. | :44:36. | |
spells and sunshine. That extends eastwards as we head across Dorset | :44:37. | :44:43. | |
into Hampshire and in towards Buckinghamshire as well. As we head | :44:44. | :44:46. | |
on through the course of the day, the heavy, persistent rain remains | :44:47. | :44:51. | |
on and off throughout the day. The cloud will break up later and we | :44:52. | :44:55. | |
will see sunshine but there is the risk of one of two showers across | :44:56. | :44:59. | |
the Midlands and East Anglia but that will be the exception rather | :45:00. | :45:02. | |
than the rule. The highs in the south up to 25. If you are under the | :45:03. | :45:07. | |
band of rain, it will feel cold and if you are further north, even in | :45:08. | :45:10. | |
the sunshine, highs of around the mid-teens so no heatwaves either but | :45:11. | :45:14. | |
pleasant enough. Through this evening and overnight, the weather | :45:15. | :45:18. | |
front producing the rain will tend to weaken. What will happen is we | :45:19. | :45:22. | |
will have patchy light rain and drizzle with coastal fog and hill | :45:23. | :45:26. | |
fog. Either side of that, some clear skies. In rural areas, the | :45:27. | :45:29. | |
temperatures will be lower than the temperatures you see on screen which | :45:30. | :45:33. | |
represents towns and cities. Tomorrow, we start off with the | :45:34. | :45:35. | |
weather front ensconced across southern Ireland and northern | :45:36. | :45:38. | |
England -- Northern Ireland, southern Scotland. It will be a dry | :45:39. | :45:45. | |
day and a sunny one. And a warm one. Temperatures in the north into low | :45:46. | :45:51. | |
meet 20s. England and Wales, into the high 20s. -- low, mid 20s. It | :45:52. | :46:01. | |
will hit 30 Celsius and humid near London. Thursday's forecast is | :46:02. | :46:06. | |
tricky, we are importing hot air from front and that will trigger | :46:07. | :46:09. | |
thunderstorms. We won't all see one, there will be lengthy spells but if | :46:10. | :46:13. | |
you catch one, across England, southern Scotland or Wales, it could | :46:14. | :46:19. | |
be a humdinger with torrential rain coming out of it. The Scotland and | :46:20. | :46:25. | |
Northern Ireland, given half the sunshine but it will feel much more | :46:26. | :46:30. | |
pleasant and less oppressive. We will carry on with high temperatures | :46:31. | :46:32. | |
for the rest of the week. We watch out for the Hunting Act, | :46:33. | :46:44. | |
thank you very much for that. Thank you very much, we shall see you | :46:45. | :46:46. | |
later -- humdinger. You can watch live coverage | :46:47. | :46:48. | |
of Wimbledon from 1:45pm on BBC One, and hear commentary from 11:30am | :46:49. | :46:52. | |
on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Radio 5 You can also watch all the coverage | :46:53. | :46:56. | |
from 15 courts across Connected TV, The sandwich chain Subway | :46:57. | :47:00. | |
is planning to open 500 new stores Good morning to you. We are talking | :47:01. | :47:12. | |
about Subway. When it comes to the number | :47:13. | :47:24. | |
of shops, it is bigger than McDonald's, but it is | :47:25. | :47:28. | |
getting even bigger. The firm has wants to open 500 | :47:29. | :47:31. | |
new stores over the next three years, creating | :47:32. | :47:34. | |
about 5,000 new jobs. So is it a vote in our high streets, | :47:35. | :47:36. | |
and what does it tell us Peter Dowding is Subway's boss | :47:37. | :47:40. | |
in the UK Ireland. Nice to see you. Good morning. I | :47:41. | :47:49. | |
said a vote of confidence in our high streets but you are all over | :47:50. | :47:53. | |
the place, in all sorts of different locations. You are clearly confident | :47:54. | :47:57. | |
we will have money in our pocket to spend on these things, it is, what, | :47:58. | :48:02. | |
a fiver for a sandwich? Is actually less than that, and we are looking | :48:03. | :48:07. | |
at the entire market of England and Northern Ireland, we have stores in | :48:08. | :48:15. | |
convenience stores, forecourts, and 60% of our stores are on the high | :48:16. | :48:20. | |
street, where consumers want to see us. We are told that wages are not | :48:21. | :48:24. | |
keeping up with inflation and prices are rising on most things at the | :48:25. | :48:28. | |
moment. It means we have less money in our pockets to spend a nice | :48:29. | :48:31. | |
things, a sandwich, rather than making it at home. Do you think we | :48:32. | :48:38. | |
will have that money in our pocket? Yes, we offer an incredibly | :48:39. | :48:41. | |
affordable, fresh, nutritional Sam Mitchell or salad. If you have one | :48:42. | :48:46. | |
of our six inch subs, you will get one of your government recommended | :48:47. | :48:51. | |
five a day, if you have one of our salads, you will get two of your | :48:52. | :48:56. | |
recommended five a day. So you have done your plug, but let's talk about | :48:57. | :49:00. | |
the minimum wage. In the last hour we were speaking to the Resolution | :49:01. | :49:05. | |
Foundation, saying self-employed people need to be on the minimum | :49:06. | :49:11. | |
wage. How do you keep an eye on what your staff working and being I know | :49:12. | :49:15. | |
you have zero hours contracts, even though as you say they are | :49:16. | :49:19. | |
franchises. How do you make sure they are enforced properly? We have | :49:20. | :49:22. | |
contract in place with all our franchisees, and they are required | :49:23. | :49:26. | |
to meet the laws of the land, and that includes appropriate salaries. | :49:27. | :49:30. | |
Not when we talk about our expansion, there is a whole | :49:31. | :49:33. | |
infrastructure behind that that we need to support the business, | :49:34. | :49:37. | |
including the purchasing IPC, which is based in high Wycombe, a company | :49:38. | :49:42. | |
owned by the franchisees, we have 20 regional offices around the country, | :49:43. | :49:48. | |
so we have a massive support network as well. How important is that | :49:49. | :49:52. | |
flexibility when it comes to the workforce? There is no guarantee for | :49:53. | :49:58. | |
workers and it is not a great way to be working, but it allows you to be | :49:59. | :50:02. | |
flexible and allows staff to be flexible. That must be important. It | :50:03. | :50:06. | |
is incredibly important to our franchisees, and it needs to be | :50:07. | :50:09. | |
right for the franchisee and also for the employee, and we have a lot | :50:10. | :50:13. | |
of situations where that model does work. But ultimately our stores need | :50:14. | :50:17. | |
to be open, I think we open at 7am and we close at 10pm, and we need to | :50:18. | :50:23. | |
staff those stores. So zero our contracts don't always work for our | :50:24. | :50:27. | |
franchisees, but it does in some instances -- zero-hour contracts. I | :50:28. | :50:35. | |
know what of your franchisees was named and shamed for not paying the | :50:36. | :50:39. | |
minimum wage, and you had to sort that out. The bigger you get, it is | :50:40. | :50:43. | |
hard to keep an eye on the whole business, how do you make that work? | :50:44. | :50:47. | |
Well, we have 20 offices around the country, a great support network, as | :50:48. | :50:52. | |
the centre of economic and business research recognised in the report | :50:53. | :50:56. | |
they did, and we have field staff which visit the stores on a weekly | :50:57. | :50:59. | |
and monthly basis and support the franchisees. That is how I see my | :51:00. | :51:06. | |
job, supporting over 900 individual business entrepreneurs across the | :51:07. | :51:09. | |
country in developing their businesses. Let's talk about | :51:10. | :51:12. | |
healthier eating, and you talk about some of the recommended daily | :51:13. | :51:15. | |
allowances, but let's talk about what it means about a change in | :51:16. | :51:19. | |
habits, because more of us are now looking for a healthier option when | :51:20. | :51:23. | |
we are on the move, and that is a big part of your policy at the | :51:24. | :51:27. | |
moment, is trying to cut sugar as well. Yes, it is. People are very | :51:28. | :51:31. | |
concerned about not only what they are putting in their bodies but also | :51:32. | :51:35. | |
where the food is coming from. So the consumer is incredibly informed, | :51:36. | :51:39. | |
and one of the things that we have done recently in conjunction with | :51:40. | :51:42. | |
NHS England is we have moved all our sugar drinks from hospitals, for | :51:43. | :51:47. | |
example, our 12 hospital sites. And nutritional value is very important | :51:48. | :51:50. | |
when we look at new product development. And moving forward, we | :51:51. | :51:54. | |
are looking at everything we do, that we bring to the market, which | :51:55. | :51:59. | |
is going to sit within those 2020 guidelines. Before we go, favourite | :52:00. | :52:06. | |
sandwich? IMacs are going to change, because I am loving the salads at | :52:07. | :52:11. | |
the moment, two of my five a day. So the sandwich chain boss is not | :52:12. | :52:17. | |
having a sandwich? No, I'm having a salad. Very insightful, thank you | :52:18. | :52:21. | |
very much. Some of the world's brightest minds | :52:22. | :52:24. | |
are gathering in London today to showcase the best of British | :52:25. | :52:28. | |
scientific achievement. They're down at the annual | :52:29. | :52:30. | |
Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition, which opens | :52:31. | :52:32. | |
to the public later this morning. Breakfasts Tim Muffett's | :52:33. | :52:34. | |
there for us now. I think you are talking about DNA | :52:35. | :52:48. | |
folding, is that right? You have got it, how did you know that? Very | :52:49. | :52:53. | |
impressive. A team from the University of Oxford using virtual | :52:54. | :52:56. | |
reality to see whether and how it is possible to fold DNA. One of the | :52:57. | :53:00. | |
many exhibits at the Royal Society summer science exhibition. Let's | :53:01. | :53:07. | |
have a quick chat. What have you been doing? We have been detecting | :53:08. | :53:12. | |
gravitational waves from colliding black holes. We can turn the pattern | :53:13. | :53:19. | |
that we detect into this sound. What is that? That is the sound of rebels | :53:20. | :53:26. | |
in space-time predicted 100 years ago by Einstein, only detected for | :53:27. | :53:32. | |
the first time in 2015. Can we hear that one more time? Well, amazing, | :53:33. | :53:39. | |
short but sweet. It have a walk down here and chat to Russell Foster, a | :53:40. | :53:44. | |
fellow of the Royal Society. This is really historical, isn't it? What | :53:45. | :53:48. | |
are the origins of the society? They go back to the 16 60s, and our | :53:49. | :53:53. | |
message is really to promote science at every level and take nothing for | :53:54. | :53:57. | |
granted. Evidence -based science, this is the origins of the modern | :53:58. | :54:01. | |
scientific method, and it was really developed by the Fellowship at the | :54:02. | :54:05. | |
time. In the summer science exhibition is essentially allowing | :54:06. | :54:09. | |
scientists to get together, but also getting that information out to the | :54:10. | :54:13. | |
broader public. And really we want people to come here. Tonight, for | :54:14. | :54:17. | |
example, we don't close until 9pm, we are open until 6pm at the | :54:18. | :54:22. | |
weekend, so please come and see this extraordinary science going on here. | :54:23. | :54:26. | |
Thank you very much indeed, let's have a look at this extraordinary | :54:27. | :54:30. | |
science. What are you doing here? We are demonstrating one of the | :54:31. | :54:35. | |
techniques which is part of the NPL grand challenge, a surgical | :54:36. | :54:40. | |
technique for detecting cancer. So this allows people to detect | :54:41. | :54:44. | |
cancerous tissue as opposed to other tissue. Yes, allowing better | :54:45. | :54:50. | |
outcomes for surgery, so we have a laparoscopy tool here, demonstrating | :54:51. | :54:54. | |
what surgery is like for people. And you are from the National physical | :54:55. | :55:01. | |
laboratory. Why is this important? So we are developing a Google Earth | :55:02. | :55:06. | |
Lake view of the tumour, so we can map from the organ scale, right down | :55:07. | :55:11. | |
to an individual sell, so we can make better diagnosis and treatment. | :55:12. | :55:14. | |
This is part of the Cancer Research UK grand challenge ambition, so that | :55:15. | :55:20. | |
three out of every five people will survive cancer in the future. We | :55:21. | :55:24. | |
heard calls for there to be a national gene are mapping project, | :55:25. | :55:28. | |
what do you make of that? I think this is absolutely right, because | :55:29. | :55:31. | |
the genetics are key to how cancer works. And this is all about making | :55:32. | :55:35. | |
sure that the therapies and diagnosis are much, much better in | :55:36. | :55:41. | |
the future. Before we go, have a look at this team from Cardiff | :55:42. | :55:45. | |
University, who are investigating renewable energy. How is it going? | :55:46. | :55:50. | |
It is going very well. We are generating some hydrogen, and when | :55:51. | :55:54. | |
we flicked the switch as we can actually power these cars. And the | :55:55. | :56:04. | |
blue is in front! I remember very well when we powered them with our | :56:05. | :56:10. | |
minds! You are very effective, mine did not move a muscle. | :56:11. | :56:24. | |
We have a question for you. The question is what if women ruled the | :56:25. | :56:30. | |
world. The reason we are asking is because there is a new play, and it | :56:31. | :56:34. | |
is posing that question. Five women in a war room trying to sort out the | :56:35. | :56:40. | |
problems of society, and that is their question. Loads of suggestions | :56:41. | :56:45. | |
coming in, many of them we can't read out, for obvious reasons. You | :56:46. | :56:51. | |
ask these questions, and you get some not so serious answers. | :56:52. | :56:55. | |
Everything would be organised, says Hanna, if a little tense, with a | :56:56. | :57:06. | |
definite emphasis on the sector and strawberries around Wimbledon. If | :57:07. | :57:12. | |
there was a quality or the world was run by women, why would it be | :57:13. | :57:17. | |
impossible to imagine, I don't believe we would be in the same mess | :57:18. | :57:21. | |
we are today. Our world is in desperate need of a new vision. Your | :57:22. | :57:23. | |
thoughts welcome. Time now to get the news, | :57:24. | :57:23. | |
travel and weather where you are. Hello, this is Breakfast, | :57:24. | :00:43. | |
with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. A plan for a revolution in cancer | :00:44. | :01:21. | |
care using gene tests. The mapping of DNA could mean | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
tailor-made treatments for millions We hear from the family | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
of Saffie Roussos - the youngest victim | :01:27. | :01:50. | |
of the Manchester Arena bombing. They're speaking for the first time | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
about their loss on what would have We didn't just want to let her | :01:54. | :02:08. | |
birthday pass. Saffie loved the lifelike. I wanted to celebrate | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
Saffie's birthday through doing this. -- she loved the limelight. | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
donors could face fines of up to ?25,000 - we'll speak | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
Nearly 5 million people are self-employed, but they don't | :02:19. | :02:28. | |
automatically get the minimum wage. But could that be about to change? I | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
will look at what it could mean for workers. | :02:34. | :02:34. | |
Liverpool's waterfront is famous around the world, | :02:35. | :02:36. | |
but could it be about to lose its World Heritage status? | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
We were worried about Andy Murray yesterday, but he came through that | :02:42. | :02:59. | |
first match with no problem. What will it be like for Djokovic and | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
Federer today? Samak it should be dry, because there is only a 10% | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
risk of a shower at Wimbledon and it will be warm as well. For the UK as | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
a whole, there is a lot of dry weather around. We will also see | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
Thongchai. The exogenous Northern Ireland and northern England, where | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
we have heavy and persistent rain -- we will also see sunshine. | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
A plan to revolutionise the treatment that cancer patients | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
receive through individually mapping their DNA is being proposed | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
by the Chief Medical Officer for England. | :03:37. | :03:37. | |
The proposals would mean millions of patients would have treatments | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
that were directly targeted at the particular strain | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
Our medical correspondent Fergus Walsh reports. | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
More than 30,000 NHS patients, mostly with cancer or rare diseases, | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
have had their entire genetic code mapped. | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
Some patients with breast, lung, skin and other cancers are having | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
the genetic profile of their tumours analysed to determine | :03:59. | :04:00. | |
which is the best treatment for them. | :04:01. | :04:10. | |
But Dame Sally Davies told me genome testing needs to be turned | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
from a cottage industry into a national network | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
Cost matters. Of course it does. But because of the cottage industry way | :04:16. | :04:25. | |
we do these tests, we are already spending a lot of money and | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
actually, if we nationalise it and run it properly with the best | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
technology, the price will come down so that for the amount we are | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
spending, we can get better tests and better help for people. Dame | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
Sally says six in ten cancer patients who get Dean tested receive | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
personalised treatment based on their DNA profile, and that | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
proportion will rise. It costs ?680 to map a person's entire genetic | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
code, but it's getting cheaper every few months. In some cases, DNA | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
mapping can be cheaper than existing tests or avoid the need for invasive | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
biopsies. This report is an attempt to democratise genomics, moving DNA | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
analysis into the mainstream of the NHS so that more patients can | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
benefit from personalised targeted treatments. | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
After days of pressure from some Cabinet ministers to lift the 1% | :05:25. | :05:26. | |
public sector pay cap, Philip Hammond has said | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
he would continue to assess the balance between being fair | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
to public servants and the taxpayers who fund their wages. | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
Our political correspondent Chris Mason joins us | :05:37. | :05:37. | |
So a growing number of ministers are pushing back against Mr Hammond, but | :05:38. | :05:51. | |
he is standing firm? He is. This is an interesting intervention from | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
Philip Hammond last night, saying that yes, people are weary of the | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
hard slog, as as he put it, of the cutbacks there have been since the | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
financial crisis. But he said there had to be a balance between paying | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
public servants fairly, but ensuring that the government was also fair to | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
taxpayers who pay their wages. In case you had not noticed, politics | :06:13. | :06:20. | |
is a bit topsy-turvy at the moment. I almost lost count yesterday of the | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
number of Cabinet ministers who were publicly saying that a government | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
policy should be ditched. I run out of fingers on one hand. Six of them | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
in total. It was as if the Cabinet table had been set up in the street | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
and anyone wandering past could hear what are normally meant to be | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
private discussions. But these are not normal times, so this whole | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
thing has been going on publicly. Here are a few words for you this | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
morning. Ganging up, ludicrous, shambles. Those are the descriptions | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
of three former Chancellor 's, describing the situation that Philip | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
Hammond finds himself in now. Two of those three are former Conservative | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
chancellors. Gives you some sense of where politics is at the moment. But | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
the big question is what will happen to that 1% public sector pay cap. I | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
am still not quite sure. I think it will probably go, but not | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
necessarily straightaway. Thank you for clearing that up. | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
Eight-year-old Saffie Roussos was the youngest of the 22 victims | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
She went to the Ariana Grande concert with her sister Ashlee | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
and their mum Lisa, who is still recovering in hospital. | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
Today would have been Saffie's ninth birthday, | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
and her family are determined to celebrate it. | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
Speaking for the first time to the BBC, Saffie's dad Andrew told | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
of his daughter's ambitions, and how the tragedy has | :07:45. | :07:46. | |
She wanted top magazines, front page. | :07:47. | :07:57. | |
What Ariana Grande's got now, that's what she wanted, | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
If she'd had her life to live, that's what she would aim for. | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
A lot of the papers had her picture on the front page and everybody said | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
But again, knowing Saffie used to make me smile, | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
For the wrong reasons, but at the same time, you know, | :08:16. | :08:24. | |
We didn't want to just let her birthday pass. | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
I just wanted to celebrate Saffie's birthday through doing this. | :08:29. | :08:36. | |
Thank you to the families are sharing that on what would have been | :08:37. | :09:02. | |
Saffie's ninth birthday. There is more of the interview available on | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
Facebook, Twitter and the BBC website. | :09:06. | :09:06. | |
A new report warns that nearly 700,000 children in England | :09:07. | :09:08. | |
are living in families described as "high risk". | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
The report by the Children's Commissioner, Anne Longfield, | :09:12. | :09:13. | |
also says many vulnerable young people struggle with abuse | :09:14. | :09:15. | |
It concludes that large numbers of children who need help | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
Three weeks after the disaster at Grenfell Tower, the local council, | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
Kensington and Chelsea, has elected a new leader. | :09:28. | :09:29. | |
Councillor Elizabeth Campbell replaces Nicholas Paget-Brown, | :09:30. | :09:30. | |
who resigned following criticism over the authority's | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
The first thing I want to do is apologise. This is our community, | :09:34. | :09:49. | |
and we have failed it when people need to dust the most. No buts, no | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
ifs, no excuses. I am truly sorry. South Korean authorities say | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
North Korea has fired a ballistic missile from its western region - | :09:58. | :09:59. | |
the 11th detected missile South Korean officials say | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
an unidentified rocket was tracked Media in Japan are reporting it | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
landed in Japanese waters. North Korea has increased | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
the frequency of its nuclear and missile tests in recent | :10:13. | :10:14. | |
months, raising tensions. The BBC is to spend | :10:15. | :10:23. | |
an extra ?30 million on new content for children over | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
the next three years. As the battle for audiences | :10:29. | :10:30. | |
increases, the BBC says more competition from the likes | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
of Facebook and Netflix means it It's expected that it | :10:34. | :10:35. | |
will include more video, blogs, vlogs, podcasts, | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
quizzes, games and apps. Strictly Come Dancing judge | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
Craig Revel Horwood is calling for the number of votes that each | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
couple receives to be made public. His comments follow accusations | :10:49. | :10:57. | |
that the competition was fixed to ensure former contestant, | :10:58. | :10:59. | |
Ed Balls, didn't reach the final. It was back in 2015 | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
when 92-year-old Olive Cooke, one of Britain's oldest | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
and longest-serving poppy sellers, was reported to have received up | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
to 267 letters and calls After heavy scrutiny of how | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
the sector operates, fundraisers that pester donors | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
for money could now face fines of up to ?25,000 under new rules to be | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
introduced this week. Joining us now from our London | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
newsroom is Lord Grade, Chairman of the Fundraising | :11:28. | :11:29. | |
Regulator. Let's start with that particular | :11:30. | :11:39. | |
case, because it really lifted the lid on what was going on. Is that | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
sort of aggressive fund-raising still happening, and how are you | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
stopping it? Well, we think there are still a number of historic cases | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
to be cleaned out. We are getting a lot of complaints to the fundraising | :11:55. | :12:01. | |
regulator. But I am hoping the steps that the government and parliament | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
have taken will impress on charities that the end does not always justify | :12:08. | :12:15. | |
the means and that they have to respect data protection laws. They | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
have to respect the goodwill of the generous British public. There is | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
this threat of a fine now. I understand it could be ?25,000. At | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
what point would you choose define a charity? We don't actually have | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
powers to fine, but if a charity refuses to comply with a member of | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
the public's request not to be pestered by the charity, we will | :12:39. | :12:45. | |
refer it to the information Commissioner's office and they have | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
the powers to fine and deal with it because it is unlawful. ?25,000, is | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
that enough to stop charities that are doing this? That is a matter for | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
the information Commissioner's office. It depends how serious and | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
repeated the abuse is. They have the power to levy the fine. The 25,000 | :13:05. | :13:14. | |
figure is based on a recent case, but the ICO has a degree of | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
discretion. Do you think there is a breakdown of trust between the | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
public and charities, given that we know what happened in that case of | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
Olive Cooke? That is a sweeping generalisation. We do not want to be | :13:28. | :13:29. | |
in the position of stopping charities from raising money for | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
good causes that the nation depends on. But there are bad practices. The | :13:34. | :13:40. | |
end does not always justify the means. There are strict data loss. | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
People are not just pestered by charities, but they are pestered in | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
all kinds of ways today, and charities have a responsibility. | :13:51. | :13:52. | |
Otherwise, they will erode the goodwill of the British public. You | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
mentioned that there may be historic cases. Can you indicate how many | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
there are and what is being done for these people? We look at every case | :14:03. | :14:11. | |
as it comes in and try to settle it with the charity. If the charity | :14:12. | :14:19. | |
admit its mistakes, that is fine. If not, we issue a notice and we can | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
ultimately referred and to the Charity Commission if they are | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
continually behaving badly. But the Charity Commission is also keen to | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
impress on trustees of charities, however big or small, that they have | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
a responsibility to the donor public and they have to see that their | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
fundraising is fair, ethical and respectful of privacy. I understand | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
there will be a new fundraising preference service. The FPS, yes. We | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
laud it shortly and people can go online or make a phone call and they | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
can decide which charities they want to hear from and which they don't. | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
If they don't want to hear from anybody, they can do that as well. | :15:00. | :15:06. | |
It is a simple system and we will launch it in a week or so. We will | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
see how the public is using it. I think it will be hugely valued. | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
How do you do it? You can do it online, make a telephone call. It is | :15:19. | :15:26. | |
simple to use and hopefully will be very effective and the charities | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
concerned will be notified. Yes, the donor does want to hear from them, | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
or no, they do not want to hear from you, or everybody. It puts the | :15:37. | :15:43. | |
public at the centre of the decision about what charities they want to | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
hear from. Thank you for your time this morning. We have been at | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
Wimbledon for the last two days. Andy Morrell gully Murray and | :15:51. | :15:59. | |
Johanna Konta won yesterday -- Andy Murray. So much information behind | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
you, Carol. Good morning. This is where later on | :16:04. | :16:10. | |
today, in the next ten minutes, the order of play for today will be put | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
up. Someone is changing them further up this street. Look out the lines | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
get fewer and further between as we move along. On this particular | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
board, second last column has two lines, this will eventually indicate | :16:26. | :16:29. | |
who is in the semifinal of the ladies singles, the one line, the | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
final. We are a wee bit away from that. The weather today is rather | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
lovely. Warm already. The forecast for Wimbledon today is dry more or | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
less. Only a 10% risk of a shower. Yesterday, 20% risk and we got one. | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
Very unlucky. More cloud today but by the afternoon, it should be | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
breaking with sunny spells coming through and we could get highs today | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
of 25. For the UK as a whole, for the next few days, it will turn much | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
milder, warmer and hotter, depending on which end of the country you are | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
in. This morning in the south of England, a fair bit of cloud, the | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
odd spot of rain. Equally, there is sunshine. That prevails until we get | :17:15. | :17:24. | |
the northern England, central and southern Scotland and Northern | :17:25. | :17:26. | |
Ireland. We have a weather front producing some heavy and persistent | :17:27. | :17:28. | |
rain and will continue to do so through the day. Wales and | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
south-west England, a bright start, cloud around, the odd spot of | :17:32. | :17:38. | |
drizzle or shower. Well scattered. Drifting from the likes of Bristol | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
over towards Buckinghamshire, a fair bit of cloud this morning, but that | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
will tend to break up through the day. Where we have got cloud, we | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
will see an improvement, brightening up, sunshine. The odd shower in the | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
Midlands and also East Anglia. For more than Scotland, sunshine with | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
the odd shower in the north. The band of rain remains ensconced | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
across central swathes of the UK. Under that, chilly. As we come | :18:05. | :18:12. | |
farther south, highs up to 25. Through this evening and overnight, | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
the weather front will be in the same area but it would weaken, the | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
rain will turn lighter and more patchy. And it will start to fizzle | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
out. Clear skies around as well. Coastal and hill fog. Temperatures | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
in towns and cities, double figures. A little lower in the countryside. | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
Tomorrow we start with the rain band across Northern Ireland, central and | :18:38. | :18:39. | |
southern Scotland and northern England. By the afternoon, it will | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
be gone, breaking up. Most of us will have a sunny day tomorrow. In | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
the northern half of the UK, lower the mid-20s. Southern half, most of | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
England and Wales, mid-to high 20s. Southeast, we could hit 30. | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
Thursday, another hot and humid day as we pump up some more hot air from | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
France. That will trigger thunderstorms. They again will be | :19:04. | :19:10. | |
hit and miss. The likely areas are England, Wales and southern | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
Scotland. If you catch one, it will be torrential. There will be lengthy | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
sunny spells in between. For the rest of Scotland and Northern | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
Ireland, not as impressive. There will be sunshine. Temperatures still | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
pretty healthy. Looking lovely here this morning. | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
It looks absolutely lovely. What a lot of work someone has to do to | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
sort out that behind you! Everything is very precise that | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
Wimbledon of course. There are calls today for some | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
people who are self-employed to have the right to be | :19:45. | :19:46. | |
paid the minimum wage. Ben has more on that and the other | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
main business stories. We would not lead the ladder -- need | :19:50. | :19:56. | |
the ladder! We are talking about self-employed people. | :19:57. | :19:58. | |
Some self employed people should be entitled to the minimum wage - | :19:59. | :20:00. | |
according to a campaign group this morning. | :20:01. | :20:02. | |
It says 5 million people in the UK are self employed but many don't | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
That's often because they work in the so-called gig economy - | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
driving taxis, delivering food or doing odd jobs. | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
The research from the Resolution Foundation says | :20:17. | :20:18. | |
around half are earning less than ?300 a week. | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
The cost of building the new Hinkley Point nuclear power | :20:23. | :20:31. | |
station in Somerset could cost ?1.5 billion more than planned | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
The French energy firm, EDF, that's building | :20:37. | :20:43. | |
has been hit with a series of problems related | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
to the technology it's using and criticism that consumers | :20:47. | :20:48. | |
will be forced to pay higher prices for the electricity it generates. | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
Supermarket giant Sainsbury's says first quarter like-for-like sales, | :20:52. | :20:53. | |
including at Argos that it bought last year, aer up 2.3%. | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
It warned that the market remains competitive and continues | :20:57. | :20:58. | |
Chief executive Mike Coupe said the warm weather had | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
You are up to date. I will see you very soon. | :21:03. | :21:10. | |
Thank you. It currently ranks | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
alongside Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids, | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
but the city of Liverpool could lose its Unesco World Heritage | :21:17. | :21:18. | |
status over concerns that planned skyscrapers will ruin | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
its historic waterfront. The city was awarded the status | :21:22. | :21:22. | |
in 2004 in recognition of its role as a major trade centre, | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
but if removed, Liverpool would become only the second city | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
to be deleted from the list. Good morning. We have a roof with a | :21:30. | :21:48. | |
view this morning. Take a look around, this is part of the | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
wonderful three Graces you see over my shoulder. What does this place | :21:53. | :21:59. | |
have in common with Aleppo and Palmyra in Syria? The answer is | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
this. They have been given world heritage status by Unesco and yet | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
they are all on Unesco's endangered list. Those places far away because | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
of war, but this place, Unesco says, because of regeneration. The council | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
says they cannot allow heritage to be stifled... To stifle jobs and | :22:19. | :22:29. | |
investment. Unesco believe this place should be protected. Have a | :22:30. | :22:30. | |
look at this. This is a skyline which | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
commands superlatives. You have seen our | :22:35. | :22:35. | |
architecture down here? We have literally been here five | :22:36. | :22:37. | |
minutes and it's fantastic. We're just going, "Wow, | :22:38. | :22:45. | |
look at that building! It isn't just gorgeous, | :22:46. | :22:47. | |
it's Unesco endorsed gorgeousness, That's why this waterfront has had | :22:48. | :22:55. | |
Unesco World Heritage status But a stone's throw away | :22:56. | :23:02. | |
is something which could ruin What's proposed for either side | :23:03. | :23:12. | |
of this famous dock wall is a development worth ?5 billion | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
over 30 years, covering just over half a square kilometre, | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
but which Unesco believes is so far from gorgeous, it could cost | :23:24. | :23:25. | |
Liverpool its World Heritage status. The Liverpool Waters | :23:26. | :23:32. | |
plans from developers Peel Holdings are all | :23:33. | :23:35. | |
about transforming the skyline. New offices, bars and a stadium, | :23:36. | :23:43. | |
new housing, high-rises. Yesterday, these Unesco | :23:44. | :23:45. | |
representatives gathered in Poland to look at a list of sites in danger | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
of losing their status. They will set Liverpool a deadline - | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
take control of the Liverpool Waters It matters to Unesco, | :23:56. | :23:58. | |
but the city is divided over I want to keep the status, | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
but if keeping the plaque risks the investment and the jobs | :24:04. | :24:10. | |
and the houses, the place and the people came before | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
the plaque and they should stay We are a city of museums, but we | :24:16. | :24:17. | |
don't want the city to be a museum. People like me, if I speak up, I am | :24:18. | :24:25. | |
told I want to fossilise Liverpool, I'm trying to museum-ify | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
Liverpool, whatever. No, I want Liverpool to develop | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
in the future as well, with the same type of aesthetics | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
that are there with The once grand past of Palmyra | :24:38. | :24:39. | |
will also be considered Along with many other historic sites | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
which are victims of war. Liverpool, though, is considered | :24:44. | :24:51. | |
a potential victim of regeneration The council says regeneration | :24:52. | :24:53. | |
and conservation can If Unesco disagrees, | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
the city could be the second only heritage site to be stripped | :24:59. | :25:05. | |
of its status. Let us have a closer look at the | :25:06. | :25:18. | |
area. Just a stone's throw away. You see some of the high-rise flats, | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
just beyond there, Liverpool waters. Let me show you, and image they | :25:24. | :25:30. | |
created. Have a look, here are the three Graces, and the little | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
restaurant rooftop terrace where we are and this is Liverpool Waters. A | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
new cruise line terminal. This is the new planned Everton stadium. | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
Unesco says this is too big. They also say some of the buildings are | :25:45. | :25:51. | |
too tall. They say this is not in keeping with what is already here. | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
And they think it should be fought for. What the development over there | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
was unusual was the scale was huge but it was never called in by | :26:02. | :26:04. | |
government, it was never scrutinised, the developers have 30 | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
years, basically, to do what ever they want. Unesco say the council, | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
the Government, they have to take control of these plans or risk | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
losing the calling card. The calling card saying that this place is | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
special and worth visiting. We will find out in 2018. | :26:25. | :26:27. | |
Back to you. We will just have to wait. | :26:28. | :26:30. | |
Thank you. It is a gorgeous waterfront. I love swimming there. | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
Strange thing to say, but I have done triathlons. Wonderful place. | :26:36. | :26:42. | |
Coming up, Business Live. On Breakfast, we will be back at | :26:43. | :26:45. | |
Wimbledon to preview day two with Sally. Roger Federer, Novak | :26:46. | :26:53. | |
Djokovic, Angelique Kerber to look forward to. Can I text you to ask | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
what is on? I have it all memorised. 11:30am, | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
Court Three, two Brits. Personal service! Time now to get | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
the news, travel and weather where you are. | :27:08. | :30:27. | |
I will be back with a final update at around nine o'clock. Bye bye. | :30:28. | :30:39. | |
Hello this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. | :30:40. | :30:44. | |
A plan to revolutionise the treatment that cancer patients | :30:45. | :30:48. | |
receive, through individually mapping their DNA, is being proposed | :30:49. | :30:50. | |
by the Chief Medical Officer for England. | :30:51. | :30:52. | |
The proposals would mean millions of patients would have treatments | :30:53. | :30:54. | |
that were directly targeted at the particular strain | :30:55. | :30:56. | |
The cost of mapping has also been factored in. | :30:57. | :31:02. | |
Cost matters of course but what I am arguing is that because of the | :31:03. | :31:08. | |
cottage industry way we do these tests we are already spending a lot | :31:09. | :31:12. | |
of money and if we nationalise it and run it properly with the best | :31:13. | :31:15. | |
technology the price will come down and soak with the amount we are | :31:16. | :31:21. | |
spending we can get a lot more tests and a lot better health for people. | :31:22. | :31:25. | |
The Chancellor says the government must "hold its nerve" - | :31:26. | :31:29. | |
despite some Cabinet colleagues calling for an end to | :31:30. | :31:31. | |
Speaking in London last night, Philip Hammond said he understood | :31:32. | :31:35. | |
people were "weary" after seven years of austerity but | :31:36. | :31:37. | |
rejected calls to "take the foot off the pedal". | :31:38. | :31:39. | |
South Korean authorities say North Korea has fired a ballistic | :31:40. | :31:41. | |
missile from its western region, the 11th detected missile | :31:42. | :31:43. | |
In the last half-hour, North Korean state television | :31:44. | :31:47. | |
announced it launched an intercontinental missile. | :31:48. | :31:54. | |
Media in Japan are reporting that that missile landed | :31:55. | :31:56. | |
North Korea has increased the frequency of its nuclear | :31:57. | :32:00. | |
and missile tests in recent months, which has been raising | :32:01. | :32:06. | |
Charities that harass donors for cash could be fined up | :32:07. | :32:19. | |
to ?25,000 under new rules being introduced this week. | :32:20. | :32:21. | |
The Fundraising Preference Service enables users to stop email, | :32:22. | :32:23. | |
telephone calls and post from charities that are deemed | :32:24. | :32:25. | |
Those who ignore warnings will face sanctions from the regulator. | :32:26. | :32:29. | |
Lord grade encouraged the public to report their concerns. | :32:30. | :32:33. | |
You can do it online megaphone call, it's very simple and hopefully it | :32:34. | :32:43. | |
will be effective because charities will be notified, yes, the donor | :32:44. | :32:46. | |
wants to hear from them or they don't want to hear from you or they | :32:47. | :32:50. | |
don't want to hear from anyone, it puts the public at the centre about | :32:51. | :32:55. | |
the decisions which charities they want to hear from. | :32:56. | :32:59. | |
Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood is calling | :33:00. | :33:01. | |
for the number of votes that each couple receives to be made public. | :33:02. | :33:04. | |
His comments follow accusations that the competition was fixed | :33:05. | :33:07. | |
to ensure former contestant Ed Balls didn't reach the final. | :33:08. | :33:09. | |
Currently, the audience only finds out which two couples received | :33:10. | :33:12. | |
the lowest number of votes - and never reveals who has | :33:13. | :33:14. | |
That is an interesting idea. We have no response from the BBC. Do you | :33:15. | :33:27. | |
think Craig has gone rogue? Let's see what happens. | :33:28. | :33:28. | |
Victoria Derbyshire is on at 9 o'clock this morning on BBC2. | :33:29. | :33:32. | |
This is what she's got on the programme. | :33:33. | :33:38. | |
We all know about air B and B and its success as a property letting | :33:39. | :33:44. | |
website, what happens when it goes wrong. This was made's has before | :33:45. | :33:50. | |
and this was it after, thousands of pounds of damage after the | :33:51. | :33:53. | |
individual who hired it had a party that had to be broken up by the | :33:54. | :33:58. | |
police. Also Snapchat maps the latest feature that parents and | :33:59. | :34:01. | |
charities worry could put children at risk. Join us after breakfast on | :34:02. | :34:06. | |
BBC Two and on line. We'll be going back to Wimbledon | :34:07. | :34:10. | |
in a few moments for all the sport and weather with Sally | :34:11. | :34:15. | |
and Carol, but still As sixth form students | :34:16. | :34:18. | |
move on to university, we'll be speaking to one bereaved | :34:19. | :34:21. | |
parent who is urging one million teenagers to get | :34:22. | :34:23. | |
vaccinated against meningitis. We'll meet the artists | :34:24. | :34:25. | |
behind a new play at Manchester International Festival | :34:26. | :34:29. | |
which depicts a female-led society tackling a global emergency | :34:30. | :34:33. | |
as the clock ticks down. And after nine, Bridget Kendall | :34:34. | :34:38. | |
was the BBC's Moscow correspondent during the collapse | :34:39. | :34:42. | |
of the Soviet Union. She'll be here to talk | :34:43. | :34:45. | |
about her new book which looks at that time through the eyes | :34:46. | :34:47. | |
of those who experienced that time first-hand | :34:48. | :34:50. | |
- like her. You have just thrown in your pen at | :34:51. | :35:01. | |
me! It wasn't a throw, it was a collapse! Big apologies. It wasn't | :35:02. | :35:08. | |
an attack on you. It's Wimbledon today, there's so much going on. | :35:09. | :35:12. | |
Sally is there with all the details and we will have the weather from | :35:13. | :35:18. | |
Carol as well, good morning. I think he's just worried about women ruling | :35:19. | :35:22. | |
the world, if he is attacking you we need to have a word. We are on | :35:23. | :35:26. | |
Centre Court in glorious sunshine. Everything is getting ready for play | :35:27. | :35:31. | |
to start this afternoon and it was here yesterday that we saw defending | :35:32. | :35:34. | |
champion Andy Murray walk-out on court, as is tradition he started | :35:35. | :35:38. | |
the tournament on Centre Court yesterday afternoon. He played the | :35:39. | :35:48. | |
unpredictable Alexander Bublik, looked to have not many concerns | :35:49. | :35:52. | |
with his hip injury and made it through into ours. He will play | :35:53. | :35:57. | |
Dustin Brown of Germany next. The way that Dustin plays, he comes to | :35:58. | :36:01. | |
the net a lot, approaching, I'll be working on my passing shots, lobs, | :36:02. | :36:08. | |
it will be quite a different much, she is also unorthodox but he plays | :36:09. | :36:15. | |
a bit more from the net and Sasha. Aljaz Bedene, the British number | :36:16. | :36:18. | |
four, is joining Murray in the second round, you beat Ivo Karlovic | :36:19. | :36:23. | |
in four sets, there was choir tie-breakers and it was 8-6 in the | :36:24. | :36:29. | |
final set. One big upset already, three-time grand slam winner and | :36:30. | :36:33. | |
world number three Stan Wawrinka is out, beaten by 21-year-old Daniil | :36:34. | :36:39. | |
Medvedev. The younger player was playing in only his third grand | :36:40. | :36:43. | |
slam. A much easier day for Johanna Konta. She avenged her first round | :36:44. | :36:51. | |
defeat at the French Open to the same opponent. She will be joined by | :36:52. | :36:57. | |
Heather Watson, who won her match in straight sets. Venus Williams, a | :36:58. | :37:01. | |
five-time Wimbledon winner, is through to the second round, she | :37:02. | :37:11. | |
Mertens of Belgium. Last month Venus Williams was involved in a terrible | :37:12. | :37:14. | |
car crash in which a man died and was asked about it in her post-match | :37:15. | :37:18. | |
press conference. That are no words to describe how devastating and | :37:19. | :37:29. | |
yeah, I am completely speechless. It's just... Yeah, I mean, I'm | :37:30. | :37:40. | |
just... Maybe I should go. Away from tennis these Lamarckian world | :37:41. | :37:42. | |
champion won a stage three of the Tour de France yesterday. Geraint | :37:43. | :37:49. | |
Thomas still has the leader's images -- the Slovakian world champion won | :37:50. | :37:54. | |
it. Chris Froome is now second overall. And Aston Villa have signed | :37:55. | :37:58. | |
former Chelsea and England captain John Terry. They 36-year-old has | :37:59. | :38:02. | |
signed a one-year deal with the Championship club. He turned down | :38:03. | :38:06. | |
offers from what money to play in the Premier League because he didn't | :38:07. | :38:11. | |
want to play against Chelsea! I wonder if that might happen in the | :38:12. | :38:15. | |
FA Cup anyway! Back to the tennis. We are on Centre Court, preparations | :38:16. | :38:21. | |
are being made for play later. Rick is out with his mower. I'm joined by | :38:22. | :38:25. | |
Sam Smith, the former British women's number one. How are you. I'm | :38:26. | :38:31. | |
not a morning person, everyone who knows me knows that. I'm happy that | :38:32. | :38:34. | |
the Court looks beautiful and sunny, it will be a lovely day. Let's talk | :38:35. | :38:40. | |
about Johanna Konta. She came into Wimbledon after a difficult week, | :38:41. | :38:44. | |
that terrible fall, she knocked ahead and there was a bit of concern | :38:45. | :38:48. | |
about yesterday but she seemed fine. She handled it extremely well. We | :38:49. | :38:57. | |
were all 50-50, it was a particular injury, it was just the heaviness of | :38:58. | :39:02. | |
the fall, and her preparations for the biggest event of the year were | :39:03. | :39:07. | |
disturbed. Nobody likes having to tear up the script and start again. | :39:08. | :39:12. | |
I think the Jo it is about learning on the job, managing these | :39:13. | :39:15. | |
situations. Particularly impressive because her life has changed a lot | :39:16. | :39:19. | |
in the last 12 months, last year we talked about her being in the top | :39:20. | :39:24. | |
locker room for the first time as the number 16 seed and now she is a | :39:25. | :39:28. | |
top contender, so many more eyes on her, so much more pressure, and that | :39:29. | :39:32. | |
was not a straightforward first round although she made it look | :39:33. | :39:37. | |
easy. She's managing to compartmentalise quite well. That is | :39:38. | :39:42. | |
the thing. Players do with pressure in different ways. Roger Federer | :39:43. | :39:46. | |
seems to embrace everything and flowed through as if nothing bothers | :39:47. | :39:52. | |
him. For Jo it seems to stay in this bubble, worry about what is she | :39:53. | :39:57. | |
doing in each minute rather than all the things that are swirling around | :39:58. | :40:02. | |
her. That would suffer and it might help her get through this | :40:03. | :40:08. | |
tournament. -- that works for her. Heather Watson is through as well | :40:09. | :40:12. | |
although Laura Robson is out. I commentated on the's match on Court | :40:13. | :40:17. | |
two, one of those lovely evening service and is going down and the | :40:18. | :40:21. | |
stands were in sunshine. Have struggled a little too close out the | :40:22. | :40:27. | |
match, which we have seen a lot this year -- Heather struggled but unlike | :40:28. | :40:30. | |
earlier this year when she was losing and not losing out, she got | :40:31. | :40:35. | |
through. She has done that in the past few weeks, it will help so | :40:36. | :40:40. | |
much. At the end of the match she doesn't just smile, she beams! She | :40:41. | :40:44. | |
embraces everything about Wimbledon and the fans. She's had a tough | :40:45. | :40:49. | |
couple of years since she lost to Serena Williams on this very court. | :40:50. | :40:52. | |
That hurt her in terms of her career. I'm pleased to see her back | :40:53. | :41:01. | |
playing so well. Grad's favourites, Roger Federer and Djokovic. And | :41:02. | :41:04. | |
there is something about Roger Federer at the moment. -- the | :41:05. | :41:10. | |
crowd's favourites. He seems to be almost revelling in being the | :41:11. | :41:17. | |
favourite. He is in a very different part of his career, he has done | :41:18. | :41:22. | |
everything anyone could have imagined doing and from now and | :41:23. | :41:25. | |
there is still a bonus and perhaps still anger to set more records, he | :41:26. | :41:33. | |
seems to be more actively immune to the pressures, I cannot imagine the | :41:34. | :41:35. | |
reception he will get on Centre court because 12 months ago when he | :41:36. | :41:39. | |
was injured, everybody said, we don't think Roger is going to win | :41:40. | :41:44. | |
any more grand slams. He took that dramatic decision to take off the | :41:45. | :41:48. | |
rest of the season and then he came back and won the Australian Open and | :41:49. | :41:51. | |
has pretty much what a drag everything he has been in this year. | :41:52. | :41:55. | |
It just shows you 12 months is a long time in sport. I will make sure | :41:56. | :42:00. | |
that I am here because I want to see that reception. Everyone wants to | :42:01. | :42:05. | |
see that. You can watch it on TV. Sam, thank you for that extra | :42:06. | :42:10. | |
insight on day two of Wimbledon. Talking of the favourites, here's | :42:11. | :42:11. | |
Carol. If only that were to! I am joined by | :42:12. | :42:24. | |
Neil Stubley. We watch the preparation every day, talk to us | :42:25. | :42:29. | |
about the preparations. We are here first thing in the morning, we take | :42:30. | :42:34. | |
the covers off at 730 and then the guys do their jobs, one team cuts | :42:35. | :42:38. | |
the courts, another team does the markings, and also the mopping which | :42:39. | :42:43. | |
is as important as everything. And then we are ready for morning | :42:44. | :42:46. | |
preparation and then we go out and set up the courts, make sure they | :42:47. | :42:53. | |
are set up properly, we do all the readings and the speed testing is, | :42:54. | :42:58. | |
to make sure everything is set up right. The speed of the court is | :42:59. | :43:03. | |
important so how do you monitor that and get it to the right speed? We | :43:04. | :43:09. | |
manage it with a special hammer that drops onto the surface and that | :43:10. | :43:13. | |
gives a hardness reading and we can control those readings by irrigation | :43:14. | :43:17. | |
at night. After play finishes we do some prep work we reconvert the | :43:18. | :43:21. | |
baselines and back-up all the debris. We look at the different | :43:22. | :43:26. | |
numbers we have from each court and then we write irrigation programmes. | :43:27. | :43:29. | |
Each court will have an individual programme measured in litres so we | :43:30. | :43:33. | |
know how many litres per court we are putting down. We will measure | :43:34. | :43:37. | |
those readings the following day to make sure we stay within the range. | :43:38. | :43:42. | |
The dryer at the ground, the bigger the bounce. Yes, in the second week | :43:43. | :43:48. | |
as the courts slowly get firmer the bounce will be higher, come to the | :43:49. | :43:53. | |
players a bit quicker. As the players are changing through the | :43:54. | :43:57. | |
tournament so is the surface. Weather is my subject so if you had | :43:58. | :44:01. | |
your choice of whether for the ideal court conditions what would it be? | :44:02. | :44:10. | |
Typically probably 22-23dC, decent cloud cover but the sun coming in | :44:11. | :44:15. | |
and out and with a light breeze, perfect for the grass, a less | :44:16. | :44:19. | |
stressed grass is less stress groundsmen. It is a pledge, Neil, as | :44:20. | :44:24. | |
always, I know you are busy so I will let you go. It is beautiful | :44:25. | :44:29. | |
here and the temperature is rising nicely. | :44:30. | :44:33. | |
The forecast for Wimbledon today is mostly dry, 10% risk of a shower, | :44:34. | :44:40. | |
yesterday it was 20% and we saw one. That will come across some time, it | :44:41. | :44:45. | |
will break in the afternoon and two bridges were rich 25 Celsius. Over | :44:46. | :44:50. | |
the next few days it will turn warmer hot depending which part of | :44:51. | :44:55. | |
the country are in. If we start in the south this morning there's a | :44:56. | :44:58. | |
fair bit of cloud, also some sunshine as we have here, with blue | :44:59. | :45:03. | |
skies at Wimbledon, the cloud as we move north is thick enough for the | :45:04. | :45:08. | |
odd shower. Until we reach northern England, southern and central | :45:09. | :45:11. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland. Here we have a weather front producing | :45:12. | :45:14. | |
heavy and persistent rain on and off through the day. South of that, we | :45:15. | :45:19. | |
are looking at a fair bit of cloud across Wales and south-west England, | :45:20. | :45:24. | |
bright rather than sunny with sunny spells developing in that cloud and | :45:25. | :45:28. | |
it's the same as we move from Gloucestershire over towards | :45:29. | :45:34. | |
Dorsett, Hampshire, Buckinghamshire, variable cloud with bright sunshine | :45:35. | :45:37. | |
coming through. So through the day the weather front is well and truly | :45:38. | :45:41. | |
ensconced across the central swathe of the UK. To the north of that, | :45:42. | :45:46. | |
sunshine, some showers in the far north of Scotland and south of that | :45:47. | :45:49. | |
band the clouds drifting east and breaking up through the afternoon. | :45:50. | :45:53. | |
Having said that you could catch the odd shower in the Midlands or east | :45:54. | :45:57. | |
Anglia but there will be the exception rather than the rule. And | :45:58. | :46:03. | |
in the south, highs of up to 25, in the rain band it will feel chilly | :46:04. | :46:09. | |
and to the north of that, highs of 15 - 16. Overnight, the weather | :46:10. | :46:12. | |
front still in the same place, starting to reconsider the rain will | :46:13. | :46:16. | |
turn lighter and more patchy. Some coastal and hill as well and some | :46:17. | :46:24. | |
clear skies developing. So temperatures in towns and cities, | :46:25. | :46:27. | |
11th-15, a little lower in the countryside. Tomorrow, still bad | :46:28. | :46:32. | |
weather front in the same place, we will start with patchy rain but | :46:33. | :46:36. | |
through the day that will fizzle. Most areas tomorrow will see | :46:37. | :46:40. | |
sunshine, more than today. It will be hot and humid in England and | :46:41. | :46:45. | |
Wales, temperatures in the mid to high 20s, locally in the south-east, | :46:46. | :46:50. | |
2930, as we push further north we are looking at temperatures in the | :46:51. | :46:56. | |
low to mid 26 are much more comfortable, into Thursday humid air | :46:57. | :47:01. | |
from the near continent, that will spark OfficeMax thunderstorms. If | :47:02. | :47:04. | |
you catch one it's likely to be a downpour, and miss if you do, some | :47:05. | :47:12. | |
sunny spells as well, in England, Wales and southern Scotland, that's | :47:13. | :47:16. | |
all the details we can pin down. Further north into Northern Ireland | :47:17. | :47:19. | |
and Scotland you will see sunshine but nonetheless it will feel better, | :47:20. | :47:23. | |
less oppressive as it will feel further south. So the warm weather, | :47:24. | :47:28. | |
Dan and Louise, will continue in the south for some time yet. | :47:29. | :47:35. | |
Exactly the weather that the head of courts and culture culture was | :47:36. | :47:42. | |
looking for. The less stressed wrasse! | :47:43. | :47:47. | |
We could all do with that! You can watch live coverage. | :47:48. | :48:07. | |
I think the tennis player has improved my dress! Lots of Wimbledon | :48:08. | :48:12. | |
coverage. It is estimated that up to 1 million | :48:13. | :48:14. | |
teenagers aren't protected against meningitis W, | :48:15. | :48:17. | |
an aggressive and often deadly Public Health England is urging | :48:18. | :48:19. | |
young people across the UK to get vaccinated in an attempt to combat | :48:20. | :48:23. | |
the rapid rise in cases. Joining us now is Julia Styles, | :48:24. | :48:27. | |
who lost her daughter Emily to meningitis in 2014, | :48:28. | :48:30. | |
and Tom Nutt, CEO of Meningitis Now. She did not have this type of | :48:31. | :48:47. | |
meningitis, Emily, but tell us why you are involved. We found out later | :48:48. | :48:56. | |
it was meningitis B. I am involved in this campaign because when she | :48:57. | :49:02. | |
died there were no vaccine is available, and we have campaigned | :49:03. | :49:07. | |
hard to get the introduction of the meningitis B vaccine. Only for | :49:08. | :49:11. | |
babies at the moment, though we would like to see it for the lost | :49:12. | :49:17. | |
generation as well. Also for the meningitis eight, C, W and why. We | :49:18. | :49:24. | |
did not have the chance with Emily to get her vaccinated, there was not | :49:25. | :49:29. | |
one. What I want to say to parents is, get the vaccination that is | :49:30. | :49:35. | |
available, free on the NHS, and make yourself and your dog people aware | :49:36. | :49:39. | |
of the signs and symptoms. Is it about awareness? If they are now | :49:40. | :49:45. | |
more readily available, people just are not taking up the opportunity to | :49:46. | :49:52. | |
be vaccinated? The uptake is relatively low, around about a | :49:53. | :49:57. | |
third. This campaign is about encouraging 17 and 18-year-olds to | :49:58. | :50:03. | |
take up the opportunity to take it, especially if they go away to | :50:04. | :50:06. | |
university, because they will be vulnerable, because of the way young | :50:07. | :50:11. | |
people mix. It is vital, and we ask parents to encourage their 17 and | :50:12. | :50:18. | |
18-year-olds to take up the vaccine. You go to your GP and ask? Yes, or | :50:19. | :50:24. | |
GPs should be writing to their patients. But don't wait, you can | :50:25. | :50:35. | |
just go now. Emily tied in a few years ago, you are supporting this | :50:36. | :50:37. | |
campaign, it must have had a devastating effect. Very difficult. | :50:38. | :50:48. | |
Emily was at that stage where she was stepping out into the world, she | :50:49. | :50:54. | |
had worked for two years, she did not want to go straight to | :50:55. | :50:58. | |
university, she had saved up ?5,000, she wanted to be ready to go off to | :50:59. | :51:03. | |
university, and she was taken ill and extremely quickly. Meningitis | :51:04. | :51:08. | |
took her life in six hours. She had a headache and became ill, so | :51:09. | :51:17. | |
quickly. She was not at home, but she became ill very quickly, she had | :51:18. | :51:21. | |
what appeared to be the symptoms of a migraine, which she had had many | :51:22. | :51:28. | |
times, she had no rush. That is the misconception, I was not aware of | :51:29. | :51:34. | |
it, when my girls were little, I was aware, the campaign with the rolling | :51:35. | :51:40. | |
glass, they said, seek medical help immediately if it does not disappear | :51:41. | :51:47. | |
when you roll on the glass on it, but Emily had no rush, not even one | :51:48. | :51:55. | |
mark. Even after her death, there was nothing, her meningitis went | :51:56. | :52:07. | |
straight into her brain. The first we knew that, we were called to | :52:08. | :52:13. | |
where she was among which was not far away, and she had already | :52:14. | :52:23. | |
collapsed by that point. An ambulance and air and alerts were | :52:24. | :52:27. | |
called, she was taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital, and she never | :52:28. | :52:31. | |
regained consciousness. This was on New Year's Eve 2013. In the morning. | :52:32. | :52:42. | |
By the evening, just as everyone was getting prepared to celebrate the | :52:43. | :52:45. | |
New Year, we knew Emily was not coming back. Within six hours, it is | :52:46. | :52:52. | |
heartbreaking. Particularly given what you have | :52:53. | :52:56. | |
just said, it is important people get the vaccine. In Emily's case, | :52:57. | :53:01. | |
there were no warning signs of. It is equally important that people are | :53:02. | :53:04. | |
aware of the signs and symptoms. What is the latest guidance? We are | :53:05. | :53:14. | |
a little ignorant about it. It is flu-like symptoms, often it will be | :53:15. | :53:16. | |
an aversion to bright lights, stiff-necked. If you go to our | :53:17. | :53:24. | |
website, you can find information about signs and symptoms, you can | :53:25. | :53:29. | |
download a pack, especially for young people going to university. | :53:30. | :53:36. | |
You can recognise the signs and symptoms, is acting quickly is one | :53:37. | :53:39. | |
of the most important things are. The other thing to say, I was | :53:40. | :53:45. | |
acutely aware of it when my girls were little, I did not realise that | :53:46. | :53:52. | |
meningitis was even something to worry about for older teenagers and | :53:53. | :54:00. | |
adults. It can affect anybody. It takes life really quickly, but also | :54:01. | :54:04. | |
the thing that could happen is it can cause catastrophic injuries to | :54:05. | :54:13. | |
people, loss of limbs, hearing, sight and brain problems. This is | :54:14. | :54:21. | |
something that is devastating. Emily was an absolutely wonderful | :54:22. | :54:27. | |
daughter, she was beautiful, inside and out, she was feisty and | :54:28. | :54:33. | |
determined, and absolutely the centre of our world. My younger | :54:34. | :54:39. | |
daughter Sophie, from the age of 16, has lost her big sister, and lived | :54:40. | :54:43. | |
through that for the last three and a half years. Such an impassioned | :54:44. | :54:51. | |
plea. If you are eligible, you can go, but what if you are not | :54:52. | :54:55. | |
eligible? One of the good things is if you are the parent of younger | :54:56. | :55:00. | |
teenagers, they should go through an established programme, so they | :55:01. | :55:04. | |
should get the vaccine in schools. This is a catch-up campaign for some | :55:05. | :55:07. | |
of the younger adults who may not have had the vaccination. The | :55:08. | :55:09. | |
awareness is not out there. Some of the world's brightest minds | :55:10. | :55:15. | |
are gathering in London today to showcase the best | :55:16. | :55:18. | |
of British scientific achievement. They're down at the annual Royal | :55:19. | :55:21. | |
Society Summer Science Exhibition, which opens to the public | :55:22. | :55:24. | |
later this morning. This is the most efficient bike | :55:25. | :55:42. | |
chain testing machine ever, according to the University of | :55:43. | :55:46. | |
Bristol team who developed it. A quarter of a million frames per | :55:47. | :55:51. | |
second, it helps to make the bike chain work as best as it can. It is | :55:52. | :55:57. | |
based on Galileo's engine clock, and Team GB will use it at the Tokyo | :55:58. | :56:05. | |
Olympics. Just one exhibit at the Royal Society summer science | :56:06. | :56:09. | |
exhibition here in London. This historical place. The Royal Society | :56:10. | :56:15. | |
was founded in 1660. Before we came here today, we have been catching up | :56:16. | :56:19. | |
with some of the exhibitors to see what kind of science and development | :56:20. | :56:21. | |
they have been working on. For the purposes of this | :56:22. | :56:23. | |
report, I am a criminal Police and forensics teams | :56:24. | :56:26. | |
arrive looking for clues. But thanks to a new project | :56:27. | :56:31. | |
at Bournemouth University, my footprints will reveal more | :56:32. | :56:34. | |
about me than ever before. So what we are doing | :56:35. | :56:39. | |
here is known as photogrammetry. It is recording with a normal | :56:40. | :56:41. | |
camera 20 or 30 images of a single footprint, | :56:42. | :56:45. | |
to build a 3-D model of the footprint that | :56:46. | :56:48. | |
we are interested in. This is how the footprint | :56:49. | :56:51. | |
is recorded. OK, so here is my shoe, then, | :56:52. | :56:53. | |
that is the image of it. So what can you ascertain | :56:54. | :56:59. | |
about the way I walk? You have a very unique | :57:00. | :57:01. | |
and distinctive heel print. You can see that you | :57:02. | :57:07. | |
tread very heavily This is distinctive, | :57:08. | :57:09. | |
and it would be enough to potentially make that distinction | :57:10. | :57:12. | |
between these sorts of crimes. Like fingerprints and DNA, | :57:13. | :57:15. | |
the team at Bournemouth University would like a footprint database | :57:16. | :57:17. | |
to be set up. Two police forces in England | :57:18. | :57:20. | |
have already started It is not just our footprints that | :57:21. | :57:22. | |
are unique, but also our voices. At University College London, | :57:23. | :57:30. | |
soprano Katherine Woodward is performing at a rather unusual | :57:31. | :57:33. | |
venue. What we are trying to do | :57:34. | :57:41. | |
is find different ways of investigating voices, | :57:42. | :57:44. | |
and also starting to map out some Up until now, we have been very | :57:45. | :57:46. | |
limited in that kind of information we can get | :57:47. | :57:53. | |
about what was going on inside There are some really | :57:54. | :57:56. | |
extraordinary shapes she makes, where she is dropping her jaw down | :57:57. | :58:01. | |
and really hitting those high notes. You can see her pushing | :58:02. | :58:06. | |
the sound out. It is the smallest space I have | :58:07. | :58:10. | |
ever sung in in my life. Next, it is the turn of rapper | :58:11. | :58:18. | |
Professor Elemental. As you can see, the tongue distorts | :58:19. | :58:28. | |
and changes when he's rapping. It's hoped analysing and comparing | :58:29. | :58:35. | |
extreme vocal performances can There are children growing up | :58:36. | :58:37. | |
with a cleft palate, adults who have a speech impediment | :58:38. | :58:43. | |
following a stroke. And at the moment, the speech | :58:44. | :58:45. | |
and language specialists who work with them are working in the dark | :58:46. | :58:48. | |
in terms of actually understanding So this research will be shared | :58:49. | :58:51. | |
with speech therapists, and will hopefully boost our | :58:52. | :58:55. | |
understanding of the human voice. # This is the place that | :58:56. | :59:00. | |
I like to flip my flows. # But rapping in this tube is not | :59:01. | :59:03. | |
a place to scratch my nose... A rapper like no other, it is fair | :59:04. | :59:17. | |
to say, let's chat to Professor Robert Young. You are using quantum | :59:18. | :59:21. | |
technology to prevent counterfeiting. Yes, we are tackling | :59:22. | :59:28. | |
this gigantic problem, it costs half year and more than 1 million lives a | :59:29. | :59:34. | |
year cost due to counterfeit products, everything from fake car | :59:35. | :59:39. | |
parts to sports shirts to pharmaceuticals. On the atomic scale | :59:40. | :59:43. | |
we can narrate identity. We have made a simple technology which can | :59:44. | :59:46. | |
be labelled onto any product and red with a smartphone. Here we have | :59:47. | :59:52. | |
laminated hologram of our technology. But we can put this on | :59:53. | :59:58. | |
almost anything. Best of luck with that. Let's chat to Barbara from the | :59:59. | :00:03. | |
University of St Andrews. That looks like the beak of a crow. What are | :00:04. | :00:09. | |
you doing here? Trying to extract an insect from a hole like the Crow | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
would. Hopefully Christian can explain how that will help us and | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
what we can learn from it. Few animals can use tools and we humans | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
are mustered to users, we use tools every day. We study birds who have | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
the ability to forage and Winkle grabs out of dead wood and we hope | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
that will have us understand better and what ecological conditions | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
animals evolve this remarkable capacity. This is literally a bird's | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
eye view and enables us to learn from nature. It's right because they | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
don't have hands, they use their bills and Barbara can see what a | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
crow would see. Interesting stuff, thank you so much. This is one of a | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
number of exhibits at the summer science exhibition which will open | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
until Sunday, this place is full of history, founded in 1660, you can | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
sense the past as you walk around and also sends the future. Amazing, | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
thank you. I feel my horizons have been broadened. Here's a question | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
for you. And when they do, how will a female | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
top team tackle the greatest These are some of the questions | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
being posed by a new play at Manchester International | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
Festival. In a moment we will find out more | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
from its creators, before that we asked people in the street what they | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
thought about women in power. I consider myself a feminist, | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
but always you have If we have an even number | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
of men and women ruling, Women might have equal pay to men, | :01:40. | :01:53. | |
so that would be quite nice. A lot of the women who have been | :01:54. | :02:02. | |
in powerful positions have not been Margaret Thatcher did | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
nothing for women. I do not think Theresa May | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
is doing anything for women. I have seen women in power, | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
most of the time they end up good. A lot of different views. It is | :02:12. | :02:28. | |
interesting. We put it out there this morning and in some ways people | :02:29. | :02:36. | |
have come back with, I don't know, angry at the question itself. All | :02:37. | :02:45. | |
sorts of things. Artist and creator Yael Bartana, it is strange while we | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
are doing this piece on women running the world, somebody has | :02:51. | :02:51. | |
silenced a woman! Artist Yael Bartana | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
and performance director Hopefully your microphones are both | :02:54. | :03:02. | |
working, lovely to have you here. Explain how the show works, you have | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
five actors on the set and then they are joined by five different people | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
every time. Exactly. Four nights, four performances, for each night | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
the same five actors, and every night five different experts from | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
different backgrounds, different parts of the different professions, | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
to join them and come up with new ideas. Vicky, what has it meant to | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
talk about a female perspective and what comes across from it? We use | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
the word experiment, it is a catchall because we don't know the | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
outcome, we sit around this war room which is like the War room from the | :03:46. | :03:53. | |
film Dr Strangelove. It is really epic. The women come together and we | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
ask them the question and we are asking if the structures would be | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
different if women ruled the world. The issues would not be different, | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
would the structures be different, because religion for example is | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
quite patriarchal. We ask them what they think are the biggest threats | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
currently and if they were in power what would they do about those | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
threats, we don't know if they would do anything different. Back in the | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
room, how Ray. I don't know what happened to my microphone, sorry | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
about that. Every day you could have different answers to this question. | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
The focus of the project is to focus on "What if those good. Creating a | :04:32. | :04:41. | |
condition in which ten women, the ratio is changing the world, ten to | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
one, following the idea of Dr Strangelove, at the end of Dr | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
Strangelove he says that if the Earth could be repopulated so the | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
ratio between men and women would be ten to one, we are reversing this | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
idea. It is a simple idea that allows us to create a platform for | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
different ideas. And do you think the world would be a different | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
place. Absolutely. In what way. I don't know! That the experiment. You | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
put it on for a reason, in which we do hope it would be different. | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
Basically, the focus is on the urgency, there should be, there must | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
be a different way of handling the world, trying to find a different | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
system. That is what we are trying to propose, is there a new way to | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
deal with the same political issues in a different way. We got quite a | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
view sexist responses, some people said, it is this way already. Yet in | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
positions of power women are still massively under-represented. And one | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
older guy said an interesting thing, the majority of women who have been | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
in positions of power have not been very good for women. Mrs Thatcher is | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
a good example of that. It is because they are still doing bad | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
within an inherited mail system, so they have to push up a bit to play | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
the game. If the system is different for men or women, we are talking | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
about equality ultimately, if the system was different women would not | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
have to be so hierarchical. I don't think they would play top dog so | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
much. It will be interesting and you will make a film afterwards so we | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
can get these conclusions. During the performance we are making a | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
film, we're hoping to distribute it, so we can use it for education and | :06:41. | :06:48. | |
whatever needs. Four nights, four completely different artists. I like | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
the idea. I'm glad we sorted out your microphone. It was so ironic. I | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
wonder if it is a man or woman in charge of our sound department! I'm | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
not going to say! What If Women Ruled The World starts | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
tomorrow at the Manchester Thank you very much for talking to | :07:04. | :07:13. | |
us. Bridget Kendall will begin in a moment, you will know her from the | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
BBC, she was famously a correspondent in Russia during the | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
collapse of the Soviet Union. She will be here shortly. First a last | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
brief look at the headlines where you are this morning. | :07:24. | :09:03. | |
As the BBC's Moscow correspondent, Bridget Kendall reported | :09:04. | :09:17. | |
on the collapse of the Soviet Union, sent eyewitness reports | :09:18. | :09:19. | |
of the dramatic coup in August 1991 and covered Boris Yeltsin's | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
In her new book The Cold War: A New Oral History | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
of Life Between East and West, Bridget explores the period | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
through the eyes of those who experienced it first-hand, | :09:29. | :09:30. | |
Good morning, for so many people you are synonymous with the collapse of | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
the Berlin Wall because we are so used to you telling us about it. | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
What are your most pertinent memories of the time. I have many | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
memories because I started going to the Soviet Union in the mid-19 70s. | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
It's quite shocking that I covered the last third of the Cold War, | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
makes me feel so old. I was a student then. I went back as a BBC | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
correspondent when it was all unravelling. When it comes to the | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
Berlin Wall, what a ringside seat we had, it was amazing. I went with | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
Mikhail Gorbachev, who was the leader of the Soviet Communist Party | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
to East Berlin in 1989 to congratulate the leader of East | :10:15. | :10:22. | |
Germany. We were all reporting on him, you can see the big picture of | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
the commonest leaders having a big kiss, on the wall. Commonest leaders | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
always seem to get on the lips, I don't know why. What we out later | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
behind-the-scenes was what Mikael Gorbachev was saying to the east | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
German leader, sort out these protests, the Soviet Union would | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
invade like it did in Czechoslovakia in 1968, it is up to you. Two weeks | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
later he was gone and the war was down. The interesting thing was, I | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
was there and would never have predicted that could happen, it just | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
shows how history can twist and turn in unexpected ways. And change very | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
quickly. Just a few years later was the Soviet coup. You had a ringside | :11:08. | :11:14. | |
seat for that. I was rung up at 6am by the BBC, they said, Bridget, | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
there is something going on, Mikhail Gorbachev has been taken ill, there | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
is a state of emergency, go out and see. Before long there were tanks on | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
the streets of Moscow. Yet not long before that all the Russians had | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
flocked to the parliament to stop an attempt by hardliners to get rid of | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
Mikael Gorbachev, to stop his reforms and turn back the clock. It | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
did not work. By the end of big it had all unravelled on the Soviet | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
Union had gone! That's just monumental. But about living there | :11:46. | :11:53. | |
at the time. What was that like. Extraordinary. When it was the | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
Soviet Union, before the reforms that led to the unravelling of it | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
all, it was very cut off. This was a time before the Internet, almost no | :12:03. | :12:09. | |
one had direct dial phones, there was one direct dial phone to London | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
in our offers and if that was out of order we have a holiday because they | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
could not contact us except for a telex so we would have the morning | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
off. But for most people in the soviet union it was hard to know | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
what was happening except for short wave radio, in this book that I have | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
just written, we have collected a lot of eyewitness reports. This is | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
an interesting thing, it comes again and again how often people listen to | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
the BBC broadcasts to find out what was happening in the outside world. | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
Yet the reality of life as the Soviet Union became more corrupt and | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
dysfunctional, in the Soviet Union they called it the land of through | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
the looking Glass. It was back to front like in the story by Lewis | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
Carroll. That's one reason why we wrote the book to bring the memories | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
of people who lived through it to people today. In 15 or 20 seconds, | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
this meeting between the modern day leader Vladimir Putin and Donald | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
Trump will be huge. People ask of the Cold War is back, this is not | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
like the Cold War, the Cold War was black and white, commonest and | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
capitalism. Now we don't really know what to make of this meeting and | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
probably they don't know what to make of each other, it shows how | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
much complex the world has become. Thank you, Bridget. | :13:35. | :13:35. | |
The Cold War: A New Oral History of Life between East and West | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
And you can listen to it on Radio 4, we'll be back from 6am tomorrow, | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
have a great Tuesday. Bye bye. | :13:45. | :13:51. |
