Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
More frustration at a lack of information | :00:12. | :00:12. | |
After an angry meeting last night with the police, | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
residents say their questions still aren't being answered. | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
Whatever it is, we want to know exactly what it is. Do not hide | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
anything. The majority of survivors remain | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
in hotels despite today's deadline The council insists all families | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
have been made an offer. All the memories I had, all my baby | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
album is, I miss them a lot. Good morning, it's | :00:39. | :00:56. | |
Wednesday July 5th. Victims of stalking and harassment | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
are being left at risk, because of failings | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
by police and prosecutors. A new report blames poor | :01:06. | :01:13. | |
investigations and a lack An average debt of more than ?50,000 | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
for university students in England. A new report says they'll be paying | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
it off into their 50s. It's ten years to the day | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
since the cost of borrowing They've been at record lows | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
since then, but why and what does it mean for borrowers, | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
savers and the economy? I am inside and Sally is in the Q. | :01:35. | :01:49. | |
It should stay dry here. Across the central swathe we have cloud and | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
drizzle. For most of us it will be sunny and warm, or hot! More later | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
in the programme. Survivors of the Grenfell Tower | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
disaster have expressed their frustration with a lack | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
of information during a meeting last night with the police | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
and the Westminster Coroner. A senior officer faced questions | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
as to why no arrests had been made, while the coroner is said | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
to have described the scene inside the building | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
as "apocalyptic". Despite today's deadline set | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
by the Prime Minister, for everybody affected to be | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
found a home nearby, the majority of survivors remain | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
in hotels, as Nick Quraishi reports. This was the first opportunity | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
for families to put their questions directly to police and | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
the Westminster coroner. One reason this private meeting | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
lasted more than 3.5 hours. It's understood relatives were told | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
in graphic detail the challenge that forensic teams are facing | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
in even trying to find DNA They say the information | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
they are getting isn't good enough. We personally asked, | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
where is our family? We want to know, is our families' | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
bodies still there? Whatever it is, we want to know | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
exactly what it is, And the answers that | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
were coming back were, "We don't know, we don't | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
know, we don't know." Today is the deadline | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
set by Theresa May to rehouse the 158 families made | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
homeless by the disaster. According to the Grenfell response | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
team, that target has been met, with 139 formal offers made, | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
but just nine have been accepted. Lawyers for survivors say most | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
of the accommodation is Three weeks after the tragedy, | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
police still maintain their investigation will be | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
exhaustive and will bring the answers that the families | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
desperately deserve, We'll be speaking to the spokeswoman | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
of the Grenfell Fire Response Team We will try to get to the bottom of | :03:42. | :03:58. | |
some of those questions, as to why people aren't accepting the offers | :03:59. | :04:00. | |
of accommodation. Victims of harassment and stalking | :04:01. | :04:00. | |
in England and Wales are being left at risk because of failings | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
by police and prosecutors, Two watchdogs found that crimes | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
weren't being recorded, investigations were poorly conducted | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
and legal protection wasn't offered They examined 112 cases in detail | :04:11. | :04:24. | |
and concluded that none had been dealt with well. Officers and | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
prosecutors were identifying cases in isolation, whereas by its very | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
nature both stalking and harassment occurs as a result of really | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
pernicious and persistent offending and officers and prosecutors were | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
missing that, which meant that victims were left at risk. | :04:47. | :04:47. | |
The United States has confirmed that a weapon fired into the Sea of Japan | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
by North Korea was an intercontinental ballistic missile. | :04:52. | :04:53. | |
In response, the US and South Korea carried out | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
China meanwhile has called on its ally North Korea | :04:57. | :05:05. | |
For the latest, let's speak to our Beijing correspondent Stephen | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
How significant a step forward is this by North Korea? I think it's a | :05:10. | :05:22. | |
pretty significant step. You remember that Donald Trump tweeted | :05:23. | :05:31. | |
back in January that "It won't happen", that North Korea would get | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
missiles capable of hitting the US. It still hasn't got them, what it | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
now has missiles that can reach the US. Other bits of the ICB aren't | :05:40. | :05:50. | |
there. -- ICBM. So a big step forward towards what seemed like a | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
red line for President Trump. What is now happening here today is that | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
the military, the South Korean military and the US military, is | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
sending pretty strong messages to North Korea. The two military | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
leaders say the difference between peace and war is self restraint. | :06:06. | :06:14. | |
That's a choice we make, we can make a different choice. So were pretty | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
direct threat to North Korea. The US and South Korean military have let | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
off live missiles to show what kind of power -- firepower they've got. | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
So it's a matter of a much more dangerous situation. Not quite there | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
yet, where Mr Trump has to say, right, that's it, now it really is | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
the military option, but it's getting away. We will be speaking | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
more about that later in the programme. We will have a special | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
guest at about 6:40am. Saudi Arabia is the biggest foreign | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
promoter of Islamist extremism in the UK, according | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
to a foreign policy think tank. The Henry Jackson Society accuses | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
Saudi individuals and foundations of exporting "an illiberal, | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
bigoted ideology" and calls for the UK government's secret | :07:01. | :07:02. | |
report into extremism The Saudi embassy in London has | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
called the allegations Police repeatedly failed a disabled | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
refugee who sought their help before being murdered in Bristol four years | :07:09. | :07:17. | |
ago, according to a report by the Independent Police | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
Complaints Commission. Bijan Ebrahimi made dozens of calls | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
to police, mainly to report racial abuse, criminal damage | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
and threats to kill. He was eventually beaten to death | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
by a neighbour who wrongly believed Avon and Somerset police say | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
they have made changes and has He told police dozens of times | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
that his life was in danger. What part of 'be quiet' | :07:35. | :07:47. | |
do you not understand? Now a report says that over several | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
years, the Iranian refugee was repeatedly failed by Avon | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
and Somerset police, treated as a nuisance, | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
not as a victim. In 2013, he was beaten to death | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
by a neighbour outside his flat The Independent Police | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
Complaints Commission says there were systematic failures | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
in the way he was dealt with. Today's report runs to hundreds | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
of pages and it says this whole case has laid bare what it | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
calls the disrespect, the prejudice and even contempt | :08:24. | :08:25. | |
with which some officers and staff treated Bijan Ebrahimi in the days | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
before he was murdered here. Reading that report and just coming | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
to terms with what happened He always thought that he is in | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
a country that police And he couldn't see | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
anything beyond that. Last year, PC Kevin Duffy | :08:45. | :08:52. | |
and community support officer Andrew Passmore were jailed | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
after being convicted of misconduct PC's Leanne Winter and Helen Harris | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
were cleared by the jury but were later sacked | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
by a misconduct hearing. We accept that we failed | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
Bijan Ebrahimi at his time of greatest need and throughout that | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
time, he was respectful and he had confidence and trust | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
in us, the police. And we let him down | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
and for that, we are sorry. Avon and Somerset police say | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
they have improved the way that they deal with vulnerable | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
people as a result of this case. Bijan's sisters are still waiting | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
for the local council's report. We will pick up some of those | :09:30. | :09:42. | |
thoughts on the peace later -- piece later. | :09:43. | :09:42. | |
The average student debt for graduates in England is set | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
to rise to over ?50,000, according to new research | :09:46. | :09:47. | |
by the Insititute for Fiscal Studies. | :09:48. | :09:49. | |
Pretty stark research. They also point out that many students will be | :09:50. | :09:56. | |
pained that debt into their 50s, so not able to shake off the debt from | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
their student days for a very long time. That's because the interest | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
rates are very high, about 6.1%. If you compare that to the base rate at | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
the Bank of England, it is just a quarter of 1%, so a huge disparity. | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
They suggest students are being asked to pay too much on the money | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
they borrow. They've also looked at figures specifically. If over the | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
course of your degree you borrow about ?45,000, you will pay nearly | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
?51,000 back once you add in all of the interest. That's why people will | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
be paying it back for so long. Of course there is a threshold where | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
the payment kicks in. You have to work 21,000 powers if a job you hope | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
to get when you leave university before you pay that back -- ?21,000. | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
They've made it clear that threshold hasn't changed, so people have to | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
pay more earlier, because that hasn't risen in line with inflation. | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
The universities have benefited from this money. They have increased how | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
much they spend on students by about 25% since these changes were brought | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
in, but nonetheless the burden for students is very much still there, a | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
off debt into their 50s, with a pretty massive interest rate on what | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
they borrow. I worked as a labourer when I was a student to try to get | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
the debt down. A good summer job! What did you do? Carry bricks? Built | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
patios, dug holes. Useful skills. I was a waitress. | :11:22. | :11:29. | |
The rationing of NHS treatments such as hip, | :11:30. | :11:31. | |
knee and cataract operations, as well as mental health services, | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
has increased significantly in England over the past four years | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
according to a study published in the British Medical Journal. | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
Growing financial pressure and increased demand for services | :11:40. | :11:41. | |
has led some areas to withdraw funding for some procedures, | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
leading to what doctors describe as a growing postcode lottery. | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
It's the food that kept troops alive in the Second World War and then | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
was fed to unwilling school children in the post-war years. | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
And let's face it, it's still the tinned meat lots of us | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
Some people obviously love it, with eight billion cans of the stuff | :12:06. | :12:12. | |
being sold, and believe it or not it's a delicacy in some parts | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
It was even immortalised in a Monty Python sketch. | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
Anything without Spam in it? We've got Spam sausages. I do want any! | :12:23. | :12:35. | |
Why can't we have spam and egg sausages? Can I have eggs, bacon, | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
spam and sausage without the spam? I don't like spam! Spam, spam, spam, | :12:42. | :12:48. | |
spamity spam! It was so funny. Are we going to | :12:49. | :12:58. | |
tuck into this later? We are going to be cracking into | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
this later. Quite a few people already sending in their spam | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
recipes. Paul says he is fishing with it today. | :13:06. | :13:12. | |
And what I love about it is as far as I can remember it hasn't changed. | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
The shape, the colouring, everything still looks the same. | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
Very dangerous to open it. They have changed the lead. | :13:23. | :13:29. | |
Far safer these days. Spam and chips used to be a regular | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
Thursday night meal in my house. Nothing wrong with a bit of Spam. | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
Get in touch with us. Your thoughts on that and anything else on the | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
programme. You can e-mail us, or getting touch on Facebook or | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
Twitter. Carol is at Wimbledon and Sally is outside with those | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
preparing to watch Andy Murray and the rest again! Good morning, Sally. | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
Good morning, both of you. I don't think there's much Spam here. I've | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
looked around. Everybody is starting to wake up. You get woken by the | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
students at 6am. I've spotted some organic yoghurt and granola. There's | :14:08. | :14:14. | |
a chap eating his breakfast over there. Not much Spam, but a very | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
good mood. Everyone feeling rather chirpy. These guys have maybe got a | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
chance of seeing Andy Murray play on centre court, so who could blame | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
them? There are 39,000 people allowed into Wimbledon over the road | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
and these people at some of them, have been queueing for more than 24 | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
hours, sleeping in tents and having a fine time! We did set out tennis | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
players a particular challenge on BBC Breakfast. We've been doing the | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
BBC Breakfast mug. I was particularly rubbish. Andy Murray | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
has set the trend so far, managing to get 14 tennis balls into our | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
breakfast mug in the space of 20 seconds. Milos Raonic one in -- won | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
in straight sets yesterday. Lovely to see Hugh. Thanks for | :15:07. | :15:16. | |
taking part in our challenge. You have 30 seconds to get as many balls | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
in as possible. How are the nerves? I've faced bigger challenges but I | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
probably feel more comfortable in them. Let's give it a try, I've got | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
it ready, get a ball in your hand, on your marks, get set, go. Me lost | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
is going for the quick succession approach. Extreme concentration on | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
the face, he is barely blinking, how many balls as he hit so far? I'm not | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
looking that way. Had 12 seconds and so far. At least 20 balls already. | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
Coming up for 20 seconds. He's smiling, he is getting relaxed now, | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
is that better? How many have we got now? 24 seconds, five seconds left. | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
We'll see how many he's got in at the end. We'll do a quick count. The | :16:06. | :16:12. | |
mug is actually quite deep, you may be able to reach it with your | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
extremely long arms. Would you like to count them out? It's not a big | :16:16. | :16:23. | |
challenge to count these out. Four balls. 4-balls in 30 seconds. There | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
were so many you couldn't see really deep under the mug. Did you feel | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
like you acquit yourself well, you happy with that performance? I feel | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
like if I knew about it I would have prepared better. A good point, thank | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
you so much for taking part. No problem, thank you so much. | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
Shall we have a look at the all-important leaderboard? There you | :16:45. | :16:51. | |
can see happily at the very top, Andy Murray, how did he get 14? | :16:52. | :17:00. | |
Milos Raonic, a really good effort. Joe Konta with two. Plenty more of | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
those coming up. It is really difficult. I might get some of these | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
people in the queue to have a go at it later, that could be interesting. | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
Before I go let me show you the back pages because there another big | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
sports story, at the Tour de France yesterday, we have pictures of Mark | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
Cavendish, he was forced to leave the Tour de France after an horrific | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
fall, a terrible crash. Peter Sagan, very famous cyclist, has been banned | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
for this tour, I know he has leave to appeal but Mark Cavendish has a | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
broken shoulder. Back page of the Mirror, a fairly gruesome picture of | :17:38. | :17:44. | |
Mark Cavendish yesterday, he said he is OK, Peter Sagan apologised to the | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
team boss, not sure how that conversation went. A Wimbledon story | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
on the back page of the times, Wimbledon crackdown on gritters | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
after two players yesterday, the opponents of Djokovic and Federer | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
finished early because of injury. Its controversial because for | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
turning up and playing you get something like ?35,000. Both of the | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
players were injured and had to retire. The crowd on centre court | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
were disappointed as they were expecting to fantastic matches and | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
they didn't get them yesterday so much more on that through the | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
programme. On going to stay in the queue and look for some Spam | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
sandwiches but Carol is inside Wimbledon with the weather -- I'm | :18:27. | :18:28. | |
going to stay. It is glorious, the temperature at | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
Wimbledon at the moment is around 17. If I give you a tour around, I'm | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
above Court 18, it fills up quite quickly because if you've got a | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
ground pass you can come in here and you can see the queue is growing for | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
this on a daily basis. Behind it is the broadcast centre where | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
reporters, journalists and presenters from all around the world | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
gather to report on the events taking place at the championships. | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
Did you know it's been 90 years of BBC Radio 4 at the championships and | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
80 years of BBC television? Quite a record! This morning for Wimbledon | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
it's a lovely start, the sun is out, as we go through the day that will | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
continue, if anything it's going to turn hotter and much more due mid. | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
The afternoon maximum, which isn't on this chart, will be around 28, 29 | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
or even 30 in light winds -- more humid. There that in mind if you're | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
coming down. For the next few days the forecast for all of us will be | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
hot and humid -- there that in mind. Or even warm depending on where you | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
are. If we look around the country, blue skies in the south, already | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
very pleasantly warm but as we go north there's a bit more cloud, | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
yesterday's weather front, a decaying feature, but producing a | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
fair bit of cloud and drizzle, some coastal hill fog as well and some of | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
that could get into southern Scotland. In Northern Scotland, a | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
dry and sunny start and a chilly one. In Northern Ireland, a fine | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
start, as it is in Wales, north Wales seeing more cloud and in | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
south-west England, a fine start. The outside chance of a shower but | :20:11. | :20:18. | |
unlucky if you get one, and in southern counties back into the warm | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
sunshine. Through today what you will find is we will start to lose | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
that cloud, especially from north-west England and south-west | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
Scotland. We will hang onto it more across the Northeast and that will | :20:30. | :20:35. | |
peg back the temperatures, feeling cooler in the north, around 14-17, | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
hot and humid further south. Anywhere from Bristol, | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
Gloucestershire, London, high 20s, possibly hitting 30 and 30 is more | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
likely in the south-east. Through the evening and overnight we import | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
thunderstorms overnight, coming up through the English Channel and | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
southern counties, at the same time we have a weather front across | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
Northern Ireland and western Scotland introducing some rain. | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
Temperature wise tonight, we're looking at lows of about ten to 18 | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
Celsius. Tomorrow the thunderstorms will continue to drift north through | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
the day, some of those will be heavy and thundery, torrential downpours. | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
If you get one you will know about it and some big hail embedded in | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
them, some will miss them all together and get some sunshine and | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
the rain in the north-west will hit Northern Ireland, Northern Scotland | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
and the England and the next band arrives in western Scotland | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
tomorrow. Hot and humid in the south. On Friday, a dry day for most | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
of us, showers in north-east England, a weather front waiting in | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
the winds later for Northern Ireland but a lot of sunshine and | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
temperatures still on the muggy side in the south with 28, 29 or 30. In | :21:46. | :21:52. | |
the north, things will be a bit fresher, more comfortable but | :21:53. | :21:53. | |
certainly by no means cold. It's really turned out nice for | :21:54. | :22:01. | |
Wimbledon. Thanks very much, Carol, we will see you later. Every morning | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
we have been there this week it has been lovely! Plenty more from | :22:06. | :22:07. | |
Wimbledon through the morning. You're watching | :22:08. | :22:08. | |
Breakfast from BBC News. The main stories this morning: | :22:09. | :22:10. | |
Grenfell Tower survivors have expressed their frustration | :22:11. | :22:12. | |
at the authorities, saying questions still aren't being answered | :22:13. | :22:14. | |
and no-one has been arrested. North Korea is warned by the USA | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
and South Korea that war can't be intercontinental ballistic missile | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
test. Let's return to the main story this | :22:22. | :22:35. | |
morning. It was one of the key promises | :22:36. | :22:38. | |
from Theresa May in the wake of the Grenfell Tower tragedy, | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
that all survivors would be rehoused Despite that pledge, | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
only nine offers have been accepted and many | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
families are still living in hotels. So, three weeks after that | :22:49. | :22:50. | |
devastating fire, why are so many people still not living | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
in a place they can call home? Frankie McCamley went to meet one | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
man and his 10-year-old daughter You feel better? Yes. | :22:57. | :23:14. | |
This man and his daughter and his wife lived on the 15th floor of | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
Grenfell Tower. They've now been living in a hotel for three weeks. | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
It's not comfortable and it doesn't feel like home. I miss my room and | :23:25. | :23:31. | |
all the memories I had, my baby albums, I miss them a lot. My | :23:32. | :23:39. | |
daughter... She's losing her focus because this isn't her place, not | :23:40. | :23:48. | |
her room, not her life. I find it hard to sleep, I have nightmares | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
about if it happens again, if I wake up and I see fire in the building. I | :23:55. | :24:04. | |
feel like useless. I feel I have no power to take away all this pain | :24:05. | :24:11. | |
from her. If I could, I would, I would take all the pain and put it | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
on me. The families say they have received calls of support from local | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
services but what they really want is for someone to visit them. The | :24:21. | :24:27. | |
people in my building, they were very close to me and they were like | :24:28. | :24:39. | |
family and seeing them go wasn't good. Be brave, you're so brave. As | :24:40. | :24:48. | |
the family struggle to come to terms with what happened, they say they | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
have been offered a two bedroom flat just over a mile away, but Sid-Ali | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
says it's too far from Hayam's school and it's not big enough. They | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
need to see us as a victim and treat us with dignity, not anything else. | :25:04. | :25:13. | |
This is so frustrating. It's very bad, it's very bad. Three weeks they | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
haven't found a solution. The council says it's made 139 offers of | :25:19. | :25:25. | |
accommodation to Grenfell Tower residents, nine of which have been | :25:26. | :25:28. | |
accepted. It says the three-week target of offering temporary homes | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
to those affected has been met, but for this family the money and | :25:33. | :25:35. | |
support they've been offered has simply not been good enough. Their | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
putting a price on us, they give ?5,000 each and ?500, is that the | :25:42. | :25:49. | |
value of lives? I want this to finish. That's what I need, my | :25:50. | :25:58. | |
dignity. Have you got any faith in their services any more? No, I have | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
faith in the residence, I have faith in the community, I have faith in | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
the people who live their lives... My faith is there, my faith is | :26:08. | :26:09. | |
there. That gives you a clear idea of how | :26:10. | :26:11. | |
people are feeling. Just after 7am this morning we'll be | :26:12. | :26:14. | |
speaking to spokeswoman We will put some of those thoughts | :26:15. | :26:24. | |
from that father to her, especially being treated like numbers, not | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
names, about not being treated with dignity. We will talk about all | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
those issues later. In about ten minutes we will have | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
more information on the escalating tensions in North Korea and the | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
latest missile test and also we will be back at Wimbledon for all the | :26:41. | :30:02. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. | :30:03. | :30:13. | |
We'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment. | :30:14. | :30:17. | |
Think of Snapchat and you probably think of these, | :30:18. | :30:25. | |
We'll look at how a new feature causing concern | :30:26. | :30:32. | |
Last year, Milos Raonic couldn't match Andy Murray's record | :30:33. | :30:38. | |
in our Game Set Mug challenge, so how will tennis fans | :30:39. | :30:42. | |
We'll go live, with the mug, to find out later. | :30:43. | :30:52. | |
And we'll be finding out how it feels to be pregnant in one | :30:53. | :30:56. | |
of the remotest parts of the UK, where the nearest hospital | :30:57. | :30:59. | |
But now a summary of this morning's main news. | :31:00. | :31:04. | |
Survivors of the Grenfell Tower disaster have expressed | :31:05. | :31:07. | |
their frustration with a lack of information during a meeting last | :31:08. | :31:10. | |
night with the police and the Westminster Coroner. | :31:11. | :31:17. | |
A senior officer was asked why there hadn't been any arrests. | :31:18. | :31:20. | |
The coroner reportedly described the scene | :31:21. | :31:22. | |
inside the building as "apocalyptic". | :31:23. | :31:23. | |
The majority of survivors remain in hotels, despite today's deadline | :31:24. | :31:26. | |
set by the Prime Minister for everybody affected to be found | :31:27. | :31:29. | |
We'll be speaking to the spokeswoman of the Grenfell Fire Response Team | :31:30. | :31:33. | |
We will put forward some of those questions, which we have been | :31:34. | :31:45. | |
hearing from any family members and those who survived. Those questions | :31:46. | :31:48. | |
in about 40 minutes. Victims of harassment and stalking | :31:49. | :31:51. | |
in England and Wales are being left at risk because of failings | :31:52. | :31:55. | |
by police and prosecutors, Two watchdogs found that crimes | :31:56. | :31:57. | |
weren't being recorded, investigations were poorly conducted | :31:58. | :32:01. | |
and legal protection wasn't offered They examined 112 cases in detail | :32:02. | :32:03. | |
and concluded that none had been Officers and prosecutors | :32:04. | :32:07. | |
were identifying cases in isolation, whereas by its very nature both | :32:08. | :32:15. | |
stalking and harassment occurs as a result of really pernicious | :32:16. | :32:18. | |
and persistent offending and officers and prosecutors | :32:19. | :32:20. | |
were missing that, which meant that The US and South Korea have jointly | :32:21. | :32:23. | |
warned North Korea that war can't be ruled out, following Pyongyang's | :32:24. | :32:42. | |
intercontinental ballistic missile The two countries' most senior | :32:43. | :32:44. | |
officers based in South Korea said self restraint was a choice, | :32:45. | :32:51. | |
which could change at any time. North Korea has quoted its leader | :32:52. | :32:54. | |
Kim Jong-un taunting the US, calling its missile test | :32:55. | :32:57. | |
a gift to the Americans Saudi Arabia is the biggest foreign | :32:58. | :32:59. | |
promoter of Islamist extremism in the UK, according | :33:00. | :33:05. | |
to a foreign policy think tank. The Henry Jackson Society accuses | :33:06. | :33:08. | |
Saudi individuals and foundations of exporting "an illiberal, | :33:09. | :33:11. | |
bigoted ideology" and calls for the UK government's secret | :33:12. | :33:13. | |
report into extremism The Saudi embassy in London has | :33:14. | :33:15. | |
called the allegations Students starting their studies | :33:16. | :33:24. | |
in England this September can expect to graduate with average debts | :33:25. | :33:32. | |
of more than ?50,000. That's according to a report | :33:33. | :33:35. | |
by the Institute for Fiscal Studies, which also indicates that students | :33:36. | :33:38. | |
from the poorest backgrounds will leave university | :33:39. | :33:40. | |
with the highest debts. The study's authors described | :33:41. | :33:42. | |
the new 6.1% interest rates The Department of Education | :33:43. | :33:44. | |
declined to comment. The rationing of NHS | :33:45. | :33:56. | |
treatments such as hip, knee and cataract operations, | :33:57. | :33:58. | |
as well as mental health services, has increased significantly | :33:59. | :34:01. | |
in England over the past four years according to a study published | :34:02. | :34:04. | |
in the British Medical Journal. Growing financial pressure | :34:05. | :34:08. | |
and increased demand for services has led some areas to withdraw | :34:09. | :34:10. | |
funding for some procedures, leading to what doctors describe | :34:11. | :34:13. | |
as a growing postcode lottery. It was party time in the USA | :34:14. | :34:23. | |
yesterday, as America celebrated Lots of firework displays, | :34:24. | :34:26. | |
flags and the annual hot-dog eating That fellow is the defending | :34:27. | :34:31. | |
champion, Joey Chestnut, who won his tenth | :34:32. | :34:42. | |
title by downing 72 That's disgusting. | :34:43. | :34:57. | |
That's not just the meat, it is the bread as well. You would not want to | :34:58. | :35:04. | |
travel back with him after that. You're appalled by that! | :35:05. | :35:10. | |
I am. Sally is at Wimbledon today and has lots of challenges for | :35:11. | :35:17. | |
people in the queue as well. Here is the mug. We are going to | :35:18. | :35:23. | |
make people here play Game, Set Mug. We haven't warned them just how | :35:24. | :35:28. | |
tough it is. I don't know about you two, what if you were offered | :35:29. | :35:33. | |
?35,000 to walk onto a tennis court, hit a few balls with Novak Djokovic | :35:34. | :35:36. | |
or Federer, would you do it? Yes! | :35:37. | :35:42. | |
Of course you would! Well, disappointing if you were a fan on | :35:43. | :35:45. | |
centre court yesterday because that's what happened. A couple of | :35:46. | :35:49. | |
players played yesterday, but they got cut short. We've got Andy Murray | :35:50. | :35:55. | |
to look forward to today. He is playing Dustin Brown, from Germany. | :35:56. | :36:00. | |
But those gains were cut short. Novak Djokovic and Federer have | :36:01. | :36:04. | |
spoken out, saying perhaps it is time to change the rules. One player | :36:05. | :36:09. | |
lasted only 40 minutes against Novak Djokovic before his injury proved | :36:10. | :36:13. | |
too much. So a real disappointment for centre crowd. Another player was | :36:14. | :36:21. | |
forced off with an ankle injury. Federer and Novak Djokovic said they | :36:22. | :36:24. | |
could go back out together and play a practice that, because they had so | :36:25. | :36:26. | |
little time on the grass court. There was more controversy | :36:27. | :36:31. | |
after Australian Bernard Tomic said he was "bored" during his | :36:32. | :36:34. | |
straight-sets defeat to Mischa He also admitted to using a medical | :36:35. | :36:36. | |
time-out to try to slow down the match, which could | :36:37. | :36:40. | |
earn him a fine. After going out in the first | :36:41. | :36:43. | |
round for four years in a row, Kyle Edmund finally made it | :36:44. | :36:47. | |
through to round two when he beat his fellow | :36:48. | :36:51. | |
Brit Alex Ward. He is on the programme with us here | :36:52. | :36:56. | |
later. And women's world number one | :36:57. | :37:00. | |
Angelique Kerber is through, after beating American | :37:01. | :37:02. | |
qualifier Irina Falconi. Kerber was runner up last year | :37:03. | :37:04. | |
to Serena Williams. Mark Cavendish is out of the Tour de | :37:05. | :37:09. | |
France after a crash at the end World champion Peter Sagan | :37:10. | :37:13. | |
was disqualified for elbowing Cavendish, although his team have | :37:14. | :37:16. | |
appealed against the decision. Cavendish broke his shoulder | :37:17. | :37:19. | |
and needed stitches in his hand. Rangers have suffered one | :37:20. | :37:23. | |
of the worst defeats Leading 1-0 from the first leg | :37:24. | :37:25. | |
at Ibrox, they were knocked out of the Europa League by a part-time | :37:26. | :37:29. | |
team from Luxembourg and they lost | :37:30. | :37:37. | |
2-0 on the night, Billy Monger, the teenage racing | :37:38. | :37:39. | |
driver involved in a crash earlier this year which saw him | :37:40. | :37:43. | |
lose his legs, has driven a hand It was the first time he'd driven | :37:44. | :37:47. | |
since the accident 11 weeks ago. An online campaign went viral, | :37:48. | :37:52. | |
raising almost ?1 million Right now we have two volunteers. | :37:53. | :38:06. | |
Good morning! You haven't had any chance to practise? Let me ask, how | :38:07. | :38:11. | |
long have you been in miscue? We got here at about 2:30 yesterday | :38:12. | :38:17. | |
afternoon. So you've had a night in the tent, how did that go? Not much | :38:18. | :38:23. | |
sleep, but the atmosphere is amazing, so we don't feel too tired | :38:24. | :38:27. | |
this morning. Are you sure? Yes, ready to go! Here is a tennis | :38:28. | :38:34. | |
racquet each, these are the tennis balls. You are precise distance away | :38:35. | :38:38. | |
from the mug and you've got 30 seconds. You will both go at the | :38:39. | :38:43. | |
same time. Both at the same time is I think the best. I'm going to get | :38:44. | :38:47. | |
out of the way and we are going to start the timing. Three, two, one, | :38:48. | :38:54. | |
go! Too far! Nearly! Go on. Can I give you a tip? Overrun. Yes! -- | :38:55. | :39:07. | |
over arm. It hit the cameraman! You need danger money. Let's check the | :39:08. | :39:14. | |
timing. How are we for timing? Are we nearly there? Done. 30 seconds, | :39:15. | :39:24. | |
done. Come on, girls. Come with me. How do you think you did? Terrible. | :39:25. | :39:31. | |
It wasn't my best performance. I think you should get a bonus point | :39:32. | :39:35. | |
for hitting the cameraman. You've done well! There were two of you, | :39:36. | :39:41. | |
but you got three in. The British number one got two. Wow. I think | :39:42. | :39:50. | |
you've done really well. Game, Set, Mug, congratulations. I would like | :39:51. | :39:56. | |
to sell -- tell you we could give you a mug, but we don't have. Who | :39:57. | :40:00. | |
are you hoping to see today? Hopefully Andy Murray. Either way | :40:01. | :40:06. | |
the atmosphere will be amazing. Did you get any indication as to what | :40:07. | :40:10. | |
the timing would be? When you get in you get a card and that has a number | :40:11. | :40:17. | |
on it and I think 0-500 is centre and after 500 is called number one. | :40:18. | :40:26. | |
We are 550 and 551. So we don't know. You've done brilliantly. That | :40:27. | :40:31. | |
is pretty impressive, three, and we didn't even let the practice for a | :40:32. | :40:36. | |
moment! Congratulations. Thanks very much. Back to you. | :40:37. | :40:40. | |
Very impressive! Three in 30 seconds! I wonder if | :40:41. | :40:47. | |
they will get onto the leaderboard. Andy Murray is on 14. | :40:48. | :40:52. | |
He was very impressive. I think he is going to win. | :40:53. | :40:58. | |
Am beatable! Let's go back to one of our main stories. | :40:59. | :41:00. | |
War can't be ruled out - that was the message coming out | :41:01. | :41:03. | |
of the United States last night, after it confirmed that North Korea | :41:04. | :41:07. | |
had tested an intercontinental ballistic missile. | :41:08. | :41:08. | |
So, why is Pyongyang pursuing nuclear weapons capabilities? | :41:09. | :41:13. | |
Let's speak to Adam Cathcart, lecturer in Chinese history | :41:14. | :41:16. | |
at the University of Leeds, who has written extensively on North | :41:17. | :41:19. | |
Good morning. We know Kim Jong-un personally supervised this and he | :41:20. | :41:27. | |
said it was a gift to America on Independence Day. What are North | :41:28. | :41:34. | |
Korea's intentions? They've remained consistent, despite the shocking, | :41:35. | :41:39. | |
electric response that these things tend to create, which they intend to | :41:40. | :41:45. | |
create, in the US and outside North Korea. But they are consistent in | :41:46. | :41:49. | |
the sense of national defence and building up the Kim Jong-un cold, | :41:50. | :41:54. | |
showing he can defend the country against the mightiest superpower in | :41:55. | :42:01. | |
the US. -- Kim Jong-un cult. It is about creating a strong nuclear | :42:02. | :42:05. | |
deterrent and that the technical aspect that has the US worried. You | :42:06. | :42:08. | |
talk about a nuclear deterrent because there is a difference | :42:09. | :42:13. | |
between that and a nuclear attack. That's the concern, for the US, | :42:14. | :42:18. | |
isn't it? They say this could mean more. Is that where we are at? Big | :42:19. | :42:23. | |
it's been that way since 1953, in the sense that at the end of the | :42:24. | :42:28. | |
Korean War, American troops remained in South Korea. 38,000 troops. China | :42:29. | :42:33. | |
has remained loosely affiliated with North Korea, so you've got a proxy | :42:34. | :42:38. | |
war, and anything can happen along the demilitarised zone at any time. | :42:39. | :42:43. | |
So the question for me is whether this technical leap that they've | :42:44. | :42:48. | |
made, this provocation, whether it will turn into a more tense and | :42:49. | :42:52. | |
perhaps kinetic situation along the dinner at the -- demilitarised zone. | :42:53. | :42:59. | |
In terms of the technology, this is what we've heard last night and this | :43:00. | :43:03. | |
morning, this intercontinental ballistic missile which apparently | :43:04. | :43:06. | |
can reach Alaska, in terms of the steps they need to make, they still | :43:07. | :43:10. | |
need to make the warheads small enough to get on the top of this | :43:11. | :43:15. | |
rocket and then the technology enables them to re-enter the earth's | :43:16. | :43:18. | |
atmosphere, so they are still way away? They may be trained to move in | :43:19. | :43:25. | |
that direction. They are demonstrating and highlighting for | :43:26. | :43:29. | |
the world at every step that they are making progress on all of these | :43:30. | :43:34. | |
areas. The question is whether they can pay for it and continue to pay | :43:35. | :43:38. | |
for these things, given the imbalances in the economy, | :43:39. | :43:42. | |
tightening sanctions and the rest. Talk about China, if you would for | :43:43. | :43:48. | |
we know President Trump is talking to China as well. What difference | :43:49. | :43:53. | |
could China's role make? They can support sanctions of the UN. They | :43:54. | :43:58. | |
are stakeholder and have been and have strong words for North Korea. | :43:59. | :44:02. | |
But if you go to the Chinese border with North Korea, as I do every | :44:03. | :44:06. | |
year, you will find that sanction enforcement is sporadic and there | :44:07. | :44:13. | |
are lots of areas of connectivity. So it's difficult to say. A great | :44:14. | :44:23. | |
example is the truck from which this missile was launched was | :44:24. | :44:26. | |
manufacturing China. How did this get across? Who is making money off | :44:27. | :44:31. | |
this? To China has strong words from North Korea and Chinese people | :44:32. | :44:34. | |
themselves are quite upset at North Korea often. But ultimately China's | :44:35. | :44:39. | |
national interest appears to be to continue to play North Korea against | :44:40. | :44:49. | |
the South Koreans and the Americans. What will the feeling be in South | :44:50. | :44:55. | |
Korea? My understanding from talking to people in Seoul is that things | :44:56. | :44:59. | |
are less tense there than they are here in some ways because it's a | :45:00. | :45:03. | |
state of normal. Dot. Not a normal occurrence, but they are used to | :45:04. | :45:06. | |
dealing with the American threat. They have a new president who | :45:07. | :45:09. | |
recently met with President Trump and he is open to talks with North | :45:10. | :45:15. | |
Korea. But they are not open to stopping joint military exercises. | :45:16. | :45:19. | |
So Kim Jong-un has a difficult needle to thread here, if he is | :45:20. | :45:25. | |
going to try to make peace with the South Koreans for throwing these | :45:26. | :45:29. | |
missiles towards Japan every so often. Very insightful. Thank you. | :45:30. | :45:36. | |
We are talking about Spam today, Spam is 80 years old would you | :45:37. | :45:43. | |
believe? Not this ten, this one is fresh! You will be cracking it open | :45:44. | :45:48. | |
later on! Thanks for your recipes and all of your facts coming in. Did | :45:49. | :45:54. | |
you know... There will be a whole day of this! There are 13 varieties | :45:55. | :46:00. | |
of Spam, two of those righties were introduced to celebrate the 75th | :46:01. | :46:04. | |
anniversary, black pepper and jalapeno -- varieties. You can get | :46:05. | :46:14. | |
bacon Spam, cheese Spam and roasted turkey flavour Spam. Lots of people | :46:15. | :46:19. | |
saying how popular it is in Hawaii. Every single year in April they all | :46:20. | :46:24. | |
get together in Honolulu and they have the Spam Jam to celebrate all | :46:25. | :46:30. | |
things Spam. How are we going to eat hours? With a spoon. Can't wait! | :46:31. | :46:34. | |
Good morning. No Spam here, that's for sure, we've come to the south | :46:35. | :46:45. | |
concourse at Wimbledon and you can see behind me Centre Court, there's | :46:46. | :46:49. | |
lots of entrances, this is the south-west one, but look at this, | :46:50. | :46:54. | |
this is resplendent in the morning sunshine, the members enclosure here | :46:55. | :46:58. | |
and the competitors complex, the flowers are there, dark green and | :46:59. | :47:03. | |
purple with the white introduced in 1909, the previous colours were | :47:04. | :47:06. | |
identical with the Royal Marines and that's why they were changed, they | :47:07. | :47:10. | |
were blue, yellow and red and the windows at the top being cleaned | :47:11. | :47:14. | |
this morning so they are sparkly for later. They will be because the | :47:15. | :47:19. | |
sunshine is out, the temperature here is rising and it will continue | :47:20. | :47:23. | |
to rise a bit as we go through the day. The forecast is dry at | :47:24. | :47:28. | |
Wimbledon today. A lot of sunshine and if you're coming down then bear | :47:29. | :47:32. | |
that in mind and it will turn the mid-as we go through the day, but | :47:33. | :47:36. | |
maximum temperatures of 28 and 29 or even as high as 30 -- turn humid. | :47:37. | :47:49. | |
Warm in the south. As we go through the day, in southern counties, lots | :47:50. | :47:54. | |
of sunshine, beautiful start, pleasantly warm already with a light | :47:55. | :47:58. | |
breeze. As we go north across England, a little bit more cloud | :47:59. | :48:02. | |
until we get to the north of England where we've got a weather front | :48:03. | :48:05. | |
producing drizzle, coastal mist and hill fog. That extends into southern | :48:06. | :48:10. | |
Scotland, Northern Scotland will be dry, bright and sunny Abe chilly | :48:11. | :48:14. | |
start and in Northern Ireland, also a fine start -- and sunny, a chilly | :48:15. | :48:26. | |
start. An absolute outside chance in the south-west you could see some | :48:27. | :48:29. | |
thundery showers but you would be unlucky if you catch one. As we go | :48:30. | :48:35. | |
further towards southern counties, back into the sunshine with | :48:36. | :48:39. | |
temperatures continuing to romp up quickly. Through the course of the | :48:40. | :48:43. | |
day the weather front dangling across southern Scotland and | :48:44. | :48:46. | |
northern England will continue to break up, especially in south-west | :48:47. | :48:50. | |
Scotland and north-west England. In north-east England and south-east | :48:51. | :48:56. | |
Scotland we will hang onto this. Temperatures across England and | :48:57. | :49:00. | |
Wales, the mid-to-high 20 is, especially in the south. In north | :49:01. | :49:04. | |
Wales and northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, that little | :49:05. | :49:09. | |
bit lower. Through the evening and overnight we will start importing | :49:10. | :49:12. | |
thunderstorms across southern counties, some will be heavy. A new | :49:13. | :49:16. | |
weather front will show its hand across western Scotland and Northern | :49:17. | :49:20. | |
Ireland by the end of the night, introducing rain. Temperature wise, | :49:21. | :49:26. | |
ten to 11. Tomorrow the rain in the north rattles through quickly and | :49:27. | :49:29. | |
later another weather front comes to the west of Scotland, thunderstorms | :49:30. | :49:33. | |
push north through the day. Some of those will be torrential with large | :49:34. | :49:37. | |
hail in them but a lot will miss them all together, staying dry, hot, | :49:38. | :49:43. | |
sunny and humid. Again tomorrow there's the potential for | :49:44. | :49:46. | |
temperatures to reach 30 in parts of southern England. As we head into | :49:47. | :49:51. | |
Friday, a lot of dry weather, fair bit of sunshine around, still hot | :49:52. | :49:56. | |
and humid in the south-east, 29 or 30 possible, showers in noughties | :49:57. | :50:00. | |
England and later in the day the next system shows its hand, coming | :50:01. | :50:05. | |
into Northern Ireland introducing some rain -- north-east England. If | :50:06. | :50:10. | |
you like it hot and sticky, we're certainly in for that especially in | :50:11. | :50:12. | |
southern areas. Thanks, Carol, we will see you later | :50:13. | :50:20. | |
and more from Sally later with some game, set, mug in the queue. Nobody | :50:21. | :50:25. | |
in the queue is going to get angry my's record. 14 in 30 seconds! -- | :50:26. | :50:29. | |
Andy Murray's record. It's ten years to the day | :50:30. | :50:30. | |
since interest rates last went up. Since they've hit record lows, | :50:31. | :50:36. | |
Ben's been looking at what it means Interest rates are set every month | :50:37. | :50:39. | |
by the Bank of England. But the last time they went up | :50:40. | :50:43. | |
was ten years ago today. The cost of borrowing affects us | :50:44. | :51:01. | |
all. It determines what we pay for our mortgage, how credit cards and | :51:02. | :51:05. | |
loans. It also sets the way that we get interest on any savings. Take a | :51:06. | :51:10. | |
look at the last ten years and one thing is pretty clear, rates have | :51:11. | :51:15. | |
been going in One Direction and that's down, and it all began at the | :51:16. | :51:21. | |
height of the financial crisis. The UK economy was put on emergency | :51:22. | :51:25. | |
light support to keep it ticking over while the world's financial | :51:26. | :51:31. | |
system was in turmoil. Between 2008 and 2009, rates were slashed from | :51:32. | :51:37. | |
nearly 6% to just 0.5% and they've been at those record lows for a very | :51:38. | :51:41. | |
long time. Just when people thought rates might start going up again, | :51:42. | :51:47. | |
the Brexit vote created even more economic uncertainty and so rates | :51:48. | :51:52. | |
were slashed again in August last year to just 0.25%. Low interest | :51:53. | :51:58. | |
rates mean it's cheaper for businesses to borrow a to invest or | :51:59. | :52:03. | |
expand, and it also means cheaper mortgages, loans and credit cards | :52:04. | :52:11. | |
for all of us. But at what cost? It's bad news for savers, they've | :52:12. | :52:15. | |
lost out with record low returns and low interest rates tend to push up | :52:16. | :52:19. | |
inflation, so that means higher prices for everyone. | :52:20. | :52:25. | |
Let's talk to Doctor John Glen from Cranfield School | :52:26. | :52:28. | |
In that explanation I've touched on why interest rates have done what | :52:29. | :52:35. | |
they have, I described it as life-support for the economy and it | :52:36. | :52:40. | |
was. If we think back to 2008 the economy was in turmoil and the Bank | :52:41. | :52:43. | |
of England needed to do something and this is something they could do. | :52:44. | :52:47. | |
The economy was collapsing, we made the extreme decision to cut interest | :52:48. | :52:52. | |
rates to historically low levels, that allow growth so at the back of | :52:53. | :52:59. | |
2010 and the back of 2012 the economy grew as strongly as any | :53:00. | :53:04. | |
economy globally as a result of our decision. Rates have been so low | :53:05. | :53:11. | |
since March 2009, it's incredible they have been at that level and a | :53:12. | :53:15. | |
whole generation of borrowers who have never seen an interest rate | :53:16. | :53:19. | |
rise? 2.5 million households who have mortgages have never seen an | :53:20. | :53:23. | |
increase in that mortgage rate, so they are used to paying low rates of | :53:24. | :53:28. | |
interest and if interest rates increased significantly that would | :53:29. | :53:32. | |
impact their household budgets in a meaningful way. For people who have | :53:33. | :53:36. | |
never seen that increase it would come as a big shock, the amount they | :53:37. | :53:39. | |
are paying each month on their mortgage, credit card or loan would | :53:40. | :53:45. | |
go up? Yes, but we have to be realistic, if we saw 0.5% increase | :53:46. | :53:49. | |
that would be something most households could cope with, if we | :53:50. | :53:54. | |
went back to the 5% interest rate we were paying ten years ago that would | :53:55. | :53:58. | |
be an enormous strain on household budgets. Where are we? America has | :53:59. | :54:03. | |
started raising its interest rate and there's pressure on other | :54:04. | :54:07. | |
countries to do the same and the Bank of England, a few on the | :54:08. | :54:10. | |
ratesetting committee think it is time? The vote in June was 5/3, | :54:11. | :54:17. | |
people are starting to think that it's time to increase interest | :54:18. | :54:21. | |
rates. We are seeing an economy that is very close to full employment, | :54:22. | :54:26. | |
there are dangers of inflation because of Brexit and increased | :54:27. | :54:29. | |
import prices but on the other hand we are seeing relatively poor growth | :54:30. | :54:33. | |
of around 1.5% this year and next year so the worry about growth at | :54:34. | :54:38. | |
the minute is overriding worry is the Bank of England has about | :54:39. | :54:41. | |
inflation. I want to talk about inflation because that is starting | :54:42. | :54:45. | |
to creep up and cheap money means we will spend and that is pushing up | :54:46. | :54:50. | |
prices, the flipside as I mentioned in the report. It is but at the at | :54:51. | :54:59. | |
the moment the inflation is being caused by a reduction in the value | :55:00. | :55:02. | |
of the pound and external factors, although external prices have abated | :55:03. | :55:06. | |
recently but at the moment the Bank of England things on balance the | :55:07. | :55:09. | |
inflation worries are less than the worry about growth going forward. | :55:10. | :55:12. | |
What happens next, when do rates start to go up? They start to go up | :55:13. | :55:16. | |
when the economy starts to recover, we see an amount of recovery when we | :55:17. | :55:19. | |
have recovered from Brexit uncertainty at the end of 2018 and | :55:20. | :55:24. | |
you might see one or two minor increases over that period, but it | :55:25. | :55:28. | |
will be posted 2018 before we actually see any significant | :55:29. | :55:33. | |
increases in interest rates -- post-2018. Thanks very much, John | :55:34. | :55:38. | |
Glenn. More about that from me after 7am. | :55:39. | :55:41. | |
See you then. Thanks very much indeed, Ben. | :55:42. | :55:42. | |
You're watching Breakfast from BBC News. | :55:43. | :55:44. | |
We will be back at Wimbledon. That's not a re-enactment of the Battle of | :55:45. | :55:55. | |
Hastings, that is the Wimbledon queue preparing to get in on day | :55:56. | :55:59. | |
three of the Wimbledon Championships. And once again it is | :56:00. | :56:04. | |
extremely orderly. We do love a clean | :56:05. | :59:24. | |
Plenty more on our website at the usual address. | :59:25. | :59:27. | |
Now, though, it's back to Dan and Louise. | :59:28. | :59:29. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. | :59:30. | :00:16. | |
Anger and frustration as the government deadline to rehouse all | :00:17. | :00:27. | |
Grenfell Tower survivors parsers. -- passes. Many are still in hotels. I | :00:28. | :00:37. | |
miss my broom -- room. My daughter is losing her focus. | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
After an angry meeting last night with the police, | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
residents say their questions still aren't being answered. | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
Whatever it is, we want to know exactly what it is. | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
Good morning, it's Wednesday July 5th. | :00:51. | :01:04. | |
Victims of stalking and harassment are being left at risk, | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
because of failings by police and prosecutors. | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
A new report blames poor investigations and a lack | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
An average debt of more than ?50,000 for university students in England. | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
A new report says they'll be paying it off into their 50s. | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
It's ten years to the day since the cost of borrowing | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
They've been at record lows since then, but why and what does it | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
mean for borrowers, savers and the economy? | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
Some of these lucky people might get to see Andy Murray on centre court | :01:40. | :01:53. | |
later today. That's after two of his main rivals said there may have to | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
be the rule change after their opponents retired early due to | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
injury. And Mark Cavendish is out of the Tour de France. He had a | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
collision with Peter Sagan, who has been disqualified from the race. | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
And the sun is beating down. Temperatures in the south of England | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
at the moment are 16 Celsius. In the north of Scotland, in the sunshine, | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
only four degrees. A real contrast. Hot and humid in the south, and we | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
have a weather front producing cloud and drizzle in northern England. | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
That will improve through the day. More in 15 minutes. | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
See you later. And Sally will be back with the sport later. | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
Most of the families who lost their homes | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
in the devastating Grenfell Tower fire are still living in hotels, | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
despite government pledges to rehouse them all by today. | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
There was also anger and frustration at a meeting with police | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
and the Westminster Coroner last night, where residents demanded | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
to know why there have been no arrests. | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
The coroner is said to have described the scene | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
inside the building as "apocalyptic". | :02:58. | :02:58. | |
This was the first opportunity for families to put their questions | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
directly to police and the Westminster coroner. | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
One reason this private meeting lasted more than 3.5 hours. | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
It's understood relatives were told in graphic detail the challenge that | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
forensic teams are facing in even trying to find DNA | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
They say the information they are getting isn't good enough. | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
We personally asked, where is our family? | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
We want to know, is our families' bodies still there? | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
Whatever it is, we want to know exactly what it is, | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
And the answers that were coming back were, | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
"We don't know, we don't know, we don't know." | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
Today is the deadline set by Theresa May | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
to rehouse the 158 families made homeless by the disaster. | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
According to the Grenfell response team, that target has been met, | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
with 139 formal offers made, but just nine have been accepted. | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
Lawyers for survivors say most of the accommodation is | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
My daughter, she is losing her focus because it's not her place. They | :04:02. | :04:16. | |
need something suitable for them. Something with dignity. That's what | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
we are looking. -- for. Three weeks after the tragedy, | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
police still maintain their investigation will be | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
exhaustive and will bring the answers that the families | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
desperately deserve, Many questions still to be answered, | :04:29. | :04:40. | |
not least why these families aren't in permanent accommodation at the | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
moment. We'll be speaking to the spokeswoman | :04:43. | :04:43. | |
of the Grenfell Fire Response Team Victims of harassment and stalking | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
in England and Wales are being left at risk because of failings | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
by police and prosecutors, Two watchdogs found that crimes | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
weren't being recorded, investigations were poorly conducted | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
and legal protection wasn't offered They examined 112 cases in detail | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
and concluded that none had been Officers and prosecutors | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
were identifying cases in isolation, whereas by its very nature both | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
stalking and harassment occurs as a result of really pernicious | :05:10. | :05:17. | |
and persistent offending and officers and prosecutors | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
were missing that, which meant that The United States has confirmed that | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
a weapon fired into the Sea of Japan by North Korea was an | :05:23. | :05:34. | |
intercontinental ballistic missile. In response, the US | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
and South Korea carried out Officers from the US and China said | :05:37. | :05:50. | |
self restraint was the toys that could change at any time. | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
For the latest, let's speak to our Beijing correspondent Stephen | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
You hear the words used to describe the situation. Things have certainly | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
stepped up a notch. I think they have. There's no doubt about that at | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
all. The realisation that North Korea can reach Alaska, although not | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
the lower states of the US, clearly raises the stakes. What the military | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
on the peninsular have been doing is warning with words, saying, as you | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
say, that the difference between war and peace is self restraint and we | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
can choose to change our decision on that. But also letting off live | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
missiles into the ocean to the west of the country demonstrated that the | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
alliance has the firepower, should things turn from the Armistice to | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
full-blown war. So it's a serious matter. I don't think a red line, | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
the famous red line, has been crushed -- crossed yet. Back in | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
January President Trump said an intercontinental missile won't | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
happen. As bluntly as that. This missile seems to be | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
intercontinental, but it's not proven that they can get the warhead | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
back into the atmosphere and it is not proven to be accurate. So we're | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
not quite there yet, but the big question, and we don't know the | :07:21. | :07:27. | |
answer, is whether President Trump has ruled out war, like President | :07:28. | :07:29. | |
Obama did. Police repeatedly failed a disabled | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
refugee who sought their help before being murdered in Bristol four years | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
ago, according to a report by the Independent Police | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
Complaints Commission. Bijan Ebrahimi made more than 80 | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
calls to police, mainly to report racial abuse, | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
criminal damage and threats to kill. He was eventually beaten to death | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
by a neighbour who wrongly believed Avon and Somerset police say | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
they have made changes and have The average student debt | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
for graduates in England is set That's a lot of money and no doubt | :07:58. | :08:18. | |
takes a long time to pay that back? Pretty stark figures this morning | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
from the IFS, suggesting students will pay into their 50s before they | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
start to make a dent into that debt they accumulate while at university. | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
Did you suggest that if you take out a loan to cover your student debts | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
of about ?45,000, that would cover you for about three or four years. | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
You would end up paying about ?51,000 by the time you put interest | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
on top of that, so understandably people will be paying it for a | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
longtime. They also say it's a double whammy because there is a | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
threshold at which you have to start paying it back and that's ?21,000. | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
That's not gone up, so more people are going to have to pay it. The | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
really worrying finding is that the average interest rate is about 6.1%. | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
That's how much you pay in interest. I've been talking this morning about | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
how we have all been dealing with a record low interest rate. The Bank | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
of England is just 0.25%. So there's a big question about why student | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
loans are charging 6.1%. A lot of money students have to pay back, | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
paying well into their 50s, with the average debt reaching ?51,000. | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
That's a lot of bar jobs. Thank you. | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
It was one of the key promises from Theresa May in the wake | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
of the Grenfell Tower tragedy - that all survivors would be rehoused | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
Despite that pledge only nine offers have been accepted and many families | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
So, three weeks after that devastating fire, | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
why are so many people still not living in a place | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
In a moment we'll speak to Eleanor Kelly, | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
from the Grenfell Response Team, but first our reporter | :10:05. | :10:06. | |
Frankie McCamley went to meet one man who lived in the tower | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
Sid-Ali and his daughter Hayam and his wife lived on the 15th floor | :10:11. | :10:18. | |
They've now been living in a hotel for three weeks. | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
It's not comfortable and it doesn't feel like home. | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
I miss my room and all the memories I had, my baby albums, | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
She's losing her focus because this isn't her place, | :10:35. | :10:45. | |
I find it hard to sleep, I have nightmares about if it | :10:46. | :10:54. | |
happens again, if I wake up and I see fire in the building. | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
I feel I have no power to take away all this pain from her. | :11:02. | :11:12. | |
If I could, I would, I would take all the pain and put | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
The families say they have received calls of support from local services | :11:17. | :11:23. | |
but what they really want is for someone to visit them. | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
The people in my building, they were very close to me | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
and they were like family and seeing them go wasn't good. | :11:30. | :11:42. | |
As the family struggle to come to terms with what happened, | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
they say they have been offered a two bedroom flat just over a mile | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
away, but Sid-Ali says it's too far from Hayam's school and it's | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
They need to see us as a victim and treat us with dignity, | :11:53. | :12:00. | |
we're not numbers, we're not numbers. | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
Three weeks they haven't found a solution. | :12:05. | :12:17. | |
The council says it's made 139 offers of accommodation | :12:18. | :12:19. | |
to Grenfell Tower residents, nine of which have been accepted. | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
It says the three-week target of offering temporary homes to those | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
affected has been met, but for this family the money | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
and support they've been offered has simply not been good enough. | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
They're putting a price on us, they give ?5,000 each and ?500, | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
Have you got any faith in their services any more? | :12:40. | :12:54. | |
No, I have faith in the residence, I have faith in the community, | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
I have faith in the people who live their lives... | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
My faith is there, my faith is there. | :13:02. | :13:10. | |
Let's speak now to Eleanor Kelly, Chief Executive of Southwark | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
Council and spokesperson of the Grenfell | :13:16. | :13:17. | |
I know you were listening to that report and you really get a sense of | :13:18. | :13:25. | |
what a predicament these people who lived in the tower are in. I | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
understand you have made them an offer, but for this family it isn't | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
acceptable because it isn't close to her school. When will you make | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
offers that will be acceptable to these families? We are working our | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
way through the offers to all of the families and many families are now | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
on their second or third offer. I think what your piece demonstrated | :13:49. | :13:55. | |
is that there is an enormous emotional impact on people. It is | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
just moving out of one home to look for another. That's why the level of | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
acceptances are now so low. It's now at 14. But it is very low because | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
people don't want to move twice. They are looking for their permanent | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
home and everybody would be able to understand that. Your piece also | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
demonstrates the need for a package of support, emotional, financial and | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
social, around the people whose been made homeless and in many respects | :14:24. | :14:32. | |
destitute from Grenfell Tower. Just looking at the quote, I respect what | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
you say, but you have missed the deadline. On the 28th of June will | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
who lost their home will be rehoused by the fifth of July and in housing | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
acceptable to them. This isn't happening. The original target given | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
by the PM was that all of the people who have lost their homes at | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
Grenfell Tower and Grenfell Walk would be offered suitable | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
accommodation, matched to their housing needs, and that the process | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
with gore through. 139 of the households have been offered the | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
accommodation and 19 have not yet been in a position either with their | :15:13. | :15:21. | |
family or themselves not to engage with the housing authorities at this | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
time and that's understandable. I think the issue is about looking at | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
the individual families and looking at their decisions at this time. | :15:30. | :15:38. | |
Three weeks is not a longtime to recover. In terms of the offers that | :15:39. | :15:46. | |
are made, people go to areas they thought they wanted to go to and | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
when they goes there they say, I can't come here. We have to | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
understand that and be emotionally responsive to the fact that it will | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
take people along time to really work through where they want to go. | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
That's why very many of the families are choosing to stay in the | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
emergency hotel accommodation for the moment and make a permanent | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
move. We have to understand that and we have to deal with each individual | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
family and their circumstances as appropriately and as sensitively as | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
we can. Are you doing it sensitively? We heard from the | :16:22. | :16:24. | |
father, saying they've received calls. No one has visited them. I | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
think the issue is in relation to... In terms of anybody who is breathed, | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
they have a family liaison officer. -- bereaved. We know some people | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
have chosen to have their key workers contact them by telephone | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
and other people want to see them face-to-face. The particular example | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
you gave is one where we would have to look into why the key worker | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
isn't visiting face-to-face. At the point that was made by the young | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
girl in your programme is that she needs contact from the community. | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
She wants contact from the surviving neighbours, to be able to be clear | :17:01. | :17:06. | |
that they are not alone and they aren't the only people from their | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
floor or building who survived and that's a really important point. | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
They don't just need contact from the authorities, they need contact | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
and space and understanding as a community | :17:19. | :17:21. | |
What are you going to do to help her with that crazy they are in | :17:22. | :17:28. | |
accommodation that is in their home, how do you help them have that | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
support, you seem to be putting it back on the community? I'm not doing | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
that at all, the fact is we are working closely with call groups of | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
community organisations to put that support in place and we're also | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
looking to see what facilities need to be provided in a much more | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
nurturing and smaller and more community led space, rather than the | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
facilities currently provided in the Westway sports centre. When will | :17:53. | :17:59. | |
these families be in permanent accommodation that they find | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
acceptable, that they're happy with? When you're dealing with 158 | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
families, of which only 14 have currently accepted the temporary | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
accommodation, you have to factor in it goes at the pace of each | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
individual family. It isn't just about identification of appropriate | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
properties in Kensington and the, Westminster, Hammersmith and Fulham, | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
it's about going at the pace of each individual as to what it is that | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
they want for themselves -- Kensington and Chelsea Council be | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
that's the important point and that's why you can't put a timeframe | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
on it and rushing people, it's about understanding the impact on these | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
families -- Kensington and the. It's about making the right decisions and | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
doing the right thing to help them move forward. Let's be clear, these | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
people will need emotional and social support for a long time. | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
Thanks very much for your time on Breakfast. | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
We want to know your response as well. You can contact us on Twitter, | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
social media and Facebook. Carol is at Wimbledon, hot and humid | :19:09. | :19:18. | |
for many parts of the UK overnight, in those lonely corridors between | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
the outside courts? That's right. Hot and humid today for many | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
southern areas in particular but let me show you Court ten, just in time, | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
the ground staff are busy pulling back the cover. On the outside | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
courts there are six members of the team, the court attendants, who pull | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
back the covers and it takes them between a minute and a minute and a | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
half, it's a boom system so they use real brute force and they're doing a | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
fine job, done so neatly! If you're on centre court or Court one, there | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
are 17 groundstaff that do it, it's a different system, a tent cover, | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
they grab hold of the handles and they run with it after the net has | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
been dropped. The record time they have done that in is I believe 17 | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
seconds. It's done on a numerical basis, from zero to eight, if it is | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
zero the groundstaff know it will be sunny, nothing to worry about but | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
the minute it changes to one they are on standby and when it gets to | :20:20. | :20:26. | |
two, the umpire can stop play because of a light shower. No light | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
showers in the forecast today, what we have is a dry day with a lot of | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
sunshine. Increasingly it will be hot and it | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
will be humid. Maximum temperatures at Wimbledon are likely to hit 28 or | :20:40. | :20:46. | |
29, maybe even 30 in light winds so if you're coming down, bear that in | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
mind, slip, slap, slop. For most today it will be humid and warm in | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
the coming days but a cool stuff for some, but not in the south, at 9am | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
20 in London and Ipswich in the morning sunshine. As we drift across | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
the Midlands, sunshine into Northern England, more cloud, a weather front | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
is decaying but still producing drizzle, especially in north-east | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
England and some hill fog and coastal fog and that cloud extends | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
into southern Scotland. Northern Scotland is co-, only four at the | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
moment but sunny. In Northern Ireland, a brilliant start if you | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
like it sunny and pleasantly warm, temperature continuing to rise. | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
North Wales, more cloud, breaking up in the morning, south Wales and | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
south-west England back into the sunshine. An outside chance in | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
south-west England of a thundery shower this morning but consider | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
yourself lucky if you do. Drifting from Gloucestershire to Dorset, | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
Hampshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, back into the sunshine | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
and rising temperatures. Through the day where we have the weather front | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
in northern England and southern Scotland it will break up, brighten | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
up, especially in south-west Scotland and north-west England so | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
the temperature will rise here but where we hang on to more cloud in | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
the north-east or south-east of Scotland we are looking at lower | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
temperatures and feeling chillier. Highs today at 230 in the south of | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
England, in the north of Scotland, Northern Ireland, in the sunshine, | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
high teens or the low 20s. Through this evening and overnight we import | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
thunderstorms from the near continent, especially later in the | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
night. Also a weather front coming in across Northern Ireland and west | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
Scotland introducing rain. Tomorrow that rain quite quickly with across | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland and then another system comes into the | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
west. Also thunderstorms in the south travelling north. Some of | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
those will be torrential downpours with large hail embedded in them, | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
some of us will miss them all together and have a hot and humid | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
and sunny day but temperature wise we are still in the area of 30, | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
somewhere across southern England and south Wales too. As we head into | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
Friday, the thunderstorm risk diminishes, one or two first thing | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
in the south-east but that's it, then it will be largely dry and | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
sunny. Some showers in north-east England and later in the day the | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
next system shows its hand across Northern Ireland. Still in the high | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
20s in the south but more comfortable for the rest of the UK. | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
Thank you very much, Carol. It looks glorious. Back with you later. Very | :23:19. | :23:25. | |
busy getting everything ready and Sally will later be talking about a | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
bit of Wimbledon controversy, people have been dropping out early, you | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
get ?35,000 for just turning up to Wimbledon. Players are injured and | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
then they still go and they still play. They know they have a bad | :23:39. | :23:45. | |
back, they go, take the muggy, retire halfway through the second | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
set, happened to Djokovic and Federer yesterday -- take the money. | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
Quite a few fans have been moaning about that. Feel free. We like to be | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
the conduit for your moaning. Send it our way and we will pass it on to | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
Sally. If you are in need of certain | :24:03. | :24:02. | |
operations or require access to mental health services then | :24:03. | :24:05. | |
you may find that they're no longer routinely funded in | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
some areas in England. That's According to a Freedom | :24:10. | :24:10. | |
of Information request published It shows there's been a surge | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
in the number of funding requests that doctors are now | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
being forced to make on behalf Here to discuss the issue further | :24:18. | :24:20. | |
is GP Doctor Fari Ahmed. Thank you so much for joining us. | :24:21. | :24:29. | |
You assume some of these things are routine, but is it changing? Yes, | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
that is the short answer. There's not enough money and CCGs all over | :24:34. | :24:43. | |
the UK having to make decisions about what to fund and what not to | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
fund. Individual funding requests were a special way of accessing | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
treatments or medication that aren't routine, if you have a case for it | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
you apply to the people that hold the purse strings and you say this | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
is the case and the reasons, can we make an exception for this person? | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
They were good but what seems to be happening now is for things that | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
wouldn't normally need special requests, like hips and knees, | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
people in some areas are having to do that. Is it coming down to | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
funding essentially? Again it is a funding issue? Yes. The reality is | :25:18. | :25:24. | |
everyone knows there's not enough money in the NHS, we can't fund | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
everything for everybody all the time and we don't have any | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
politicians or people brave enough to say we can't fund everything so | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
there are all these little smoke and mirrors and ways of not funding | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
certain things in certain areas and what we actually need is someone to | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
say at NHS England, look, this is what we can fund and this is what we | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
can't, let's be honest and tell people. For example if you're in one | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
area you would get your knee or hip operation but somewhere else you | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
wouldn't? We are back to postcode lottery again. It's not transparent, | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
it's not clear why... There's not enough money for everything in the | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
NHS, we all understand that, but how does it get allocated and who makes | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
those decisions? It is supposedly left up to clinical groups but if | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
they don't get enough money to fund what they need then something has to | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
be funded and something isn't. Frustrating for patients as it is | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
frustrating for you, and more work for GPs? Yes. If somebody needs an | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
individual funding request then you have a huge mound of paperwork and | :26:33. | :26:39. | |
they are tiresome to fill out and you need the input of other people | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
and you need to build a case for your patient and then it goes in | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
front of a panel and a SS it and look at it and they consider the | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
funding. In the meantime the patient is left in limbo -- assess it. | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
You're still their GP and you have to help them with what's going on | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
and there's all sorts of knock on effects. If it's an operation for | :27:01. | :27:03. | |
their knee or hip then they are still in pain, you want the physio | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
to see them and they still see you and it's got psychological effects | :27:08. | :27:12. | |
on them, work, family, huge! We have to deal with it because we are | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
front-line. Thanks for coming to talk to us. | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
Another funding issue for the NHS, we seem to get at least a few a day! | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
I hope somebody is listening to it and they will make some changes! | :27:26. | :27:27. | |
Thanks so much! You're watching | :27:28. | :27:28. | |
Breakfast from BBC News. Think | :27:29. | :27:30. | |
of Snapchat and you probably think of these, fun filters, | :27:31. | :27:40. | |
but we'll have more on a new feature causing concern among some child | :27:41. | :27:43. | |
safety campaigners. Time now to get the news, | :27:44. | :27:45. | |
travel and weather where you are. It is all about location and whether | :27:46. | :27:54. | |
you are sharing your location and if you even know you're doing it. All | :27:55. | :27:56. | |
those questions soon. Now, though, it's back | :27:57. | :31:19. | |
to Dan and Louise. Hello, this is Breakfast, | :31:20. | :31:21. | |
with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. We will be at Wimbledon shortly. The | :31:22. | :31:37. | |
main stories this morning: Most of the families | :31:38. | :31:41. | |
who lost their homes in the devastating Grenfell Tower | :31:42. | :31:44. | |
fire are still living in hotels, despite government pledges | :31:45. | :31:47. | |
to rehouse them all by today. Officials say everyone has been made | :31:48. | :31:51. | |
an offer of temporary accommodation, but lawyers for the families say | :31:52. | :31:53. | |
many are unsuitable. There was also anger | :31:54. | :31:57. | |
at a meeting with police and the Westminster Coroner last | :31:58. | :31:59. | |
night, where residents demanded to know why there | :32:00. | :32:02. | |
have been no arrests. speaking to us in the last | :32:03. | :32:13. | |
half-hour, a spokeswoman for the Grenfell Tower response team said | :32:14. | :32:18. | |
the council would continue to try to find a home for all residents. When | :32:19. | :32:23. | |
you are dealing with 158 families, of which only 14 have currently | :32:24. | :32:26. | |
accepted accommodation, you have to factor in that it goes at the pace | :32:27. | :32:30. | |
of each individual family and that's the important point and that's why | :32:31. | :32:35. | |
you can't put a timescale on it, the course it's not about numbers and | :32:36. | :32:40. | |
it's not about Russian people. It's about understanding the devastating | :32:41. | :32:43. | |
impact on this family and each family have to have wraparound | :32:44. | :32:46. | |
support in order to make the right decisions and get to the right | :32:47. | :32:49. | |
decision, in order to be able to help them to move forward. | :32:50. | :32:52. | |
Victims of harassment and stalking in England and Wales are being left | :32:53. | :32:55. | |
at risk because of failings by police and prosecutors, | :32:56. | :32:58. | |
Two watchdogs found that crimes weren't being recorded, | :32:59. | :33:02. | |
investigations were poorly conducted and legal protection wasn't offered | :33:03. | :33:04. | |
They examined 112 cases in detail and concluded that none had been | :33:05. | :33:08. | |
The US and South Korea have jointly warned North Korea that war can't be | :33:09. | :33:17. | |
ruled out, following Pyongyang's intercontinental ballistic missile | :33:18. | :33:20. | |
The two countries' most senior officers based in South Korea said | :33:21. | :33:25. | |
self restraint was a choice, which could change at any time. | :33:26. | :33:32. | |
North Korea has quoted its leader Kim Jong-un taunting the US, | :33:33. | :33:35. | |
calling its missile test a gift to the Americans | :33:36. | :33:38. | |
Saudi Arabia is the biggest foreign promoter of Islamist extremism | :33:39. | :33:43. | |
in the UK, according to a foreign policy think tank. | :33:44. | :33:47. | |
The Henry Jackson Society accuses Saudi individuals and foundations | :33:48. | :33:50. | |
of exporting "an illiberal, bigoted ideology" and calls | :33:51. | :33:52. | |
for the UK government's secret report into extremism | :33:53. | :33:54. | |
The Saudi embassy in London has called the allegations | :33:55. | :33:59. | |
The rationing of NHS treatments such as hip, | :34:00. | :34:07. | |
knee and cataract operations, as well as mental health services, | :34:08. | :34:10. | |
has increased significantly in England over the past four years | :34:11. | :34:14. | |
according to a study published in the British Medical Journal. | :34:15. | :34:19. | |
Growing financial pressure and increased demand for services | :34:20. | :34:21. | |
has led some areas to withdraw funding for some procedures, | :34:22. | :34:24. | |
leading to what doctors describe as a growing postcode lottery. | :34:25. | :34:28. | |
Students starting their studies in England this September can expect | :34:29. | :34:32. | |
to graduate with average debts of more than ?50,000. | :34:33. | :34:36. | |
That's according to a report by the Institute for Fiscal Studies, | :34:37. | :34:39. | |
which also indicates that students from the poorest backgrounds | :34:40. | :34:41. | |
will leave university with the highest debts. | :34:42. | :34:44. | |
The study's authors described the new 6.1% interest rates | :34:45. | :34:47. | |
The Department of Education declined to comment. | :34:48. | :34:58. | |
We are celebrating Spam today. It is the food that kept troops alive in | :34:59. | :35:07. | |
the Second World War. It fed on willing children for many | :35:08. | :35:11. | |
generations! The 80th birthday for Spam. We have an interesting | :35:12. | :35:15. | |
relationship with it. Some people love it. 8 billion cans | :35:16. | :35:23. | |
of the stuff have been sold. I am led to believe it's a delicacy in | :35:24. | :35:27. | |
some parts of the world. Lots of people are sending in | :35:28. | :35:34. | |
recipes. Someone says they made a Spam curry, it was revolting. Bill | :35:35. | :35:40. | |
says he makes fried eggs sandwiches, with Spam. | :35:41. | :35:45. | |
Grilled on toast, smothered in beans. | :35:46. | :35:49. | |
And Caroline says she thinks she had Spam once and it turned her into a | :35:50. | :35:54. | |
vegetarian. A fact. The highest it has of Spam -- eaters of Spam are | :35:55. | :36:09. | |
from Guam. Thousands of cans of Spam every year. But 50% of deaths there | :36:10. | :36:14. | |
are down to poor diet. They may not be linked! Potentially. | :36:15. | :36:22. | |
Someone has very generously given us a tin of Spam, which we will try | :36:23. | :36:26. | |
later. You will try later! Over to | :36:27. | :36:31. | |
Wimbledon. Sally is out and about, with long queues again. | :36:32. | :36:37. | |
I feel like I've never known so much about Spam in my life. Good morning. | :36:38. | :36:44. | |
Good morning from the Wimbledon queue. This is the point where it | :36:45. | :36:51. | |
all gets a bit tense, as tense as it will get here. More on that in a | :36:52. | :36:55. | |
second. For a start on sport, I want to bring you this story from the | :36:56. | :37:05. | |
Times. This happened yesterday. One tennis player threw his towel into | :37:06. | :37:10. | |
the crowd. This young man caught it. This grown up man then took it off | :37:11. | :37:16. | |
him and he was really quite disappointed about it. Jack found | :37:17. | :37:24. | |
out about it and has said, if anybody knows the kid who tried to | :37:25. | :37:28. | |
catch my towel, let me know. Judy Murray has spoken about the grown-up | :37:29. | :37:32. | |
man. She says, if you are the bloke in the blue polo shirt you should be | :37:33. | :37:36. | |
ashamed! I wonder what will happen? I think that we might get his own | :37:37. | :37:41. | |
towel. Andy Murray is on court, due to be on centre court, today. He is | :37:42. | :37:47. | |
a huge crowd favourite. That will be one to watch. | :37:48. | :37:54. | |
Some controversy yesterday after two players went off after being | :37:55. | :38:00. | |
injured. Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer said it might be time to | :38:01. | :38:02. | |
change the rules. Martin Klizan lasted only 40 minutes | :38:03. | :38:03. | |
against Djokovic before his calf And Roger Federer's match | :38:04. | :38:06. | |
wasn't much longer. Alexander Dolgopolov was forced off | :38:07. | :38:09. | |
with an ankle injury. Federer and Djokovic joked | :38:10. | :38:12. | |
in the locker room that they should go out and play a practice set | :38:13. | :38:15. | |
together, they'd had so little time There was more controversy | :38:16. | :38:18. | |
after Australian Bernard Tomic said he was "bored" during his | :38:19. | :38:23. | |
straight-sets defeat to Mischa He also admitted to using a medical | :38:24. | :38:25. | |
time-out to try to slow down the match, which could | :38:26. | :38:32. | |
earn him a fine. After going out in the first | :38:33. | :38:39. | |
round for the last four years Kyle Edmund finally made it | :38:40. | :38:43. | |
through to round two, when he beat his fellow | :38:44. | :38:46. | |
Brit Alex Ward. He is on the programme | :38:47. | :38:48. | |
with us here later. And women's world number one | :38:49. | :38:50. | |
Angelique Kerber is through, after beating American | :38:51. | :38:53. | |
qualifier Irina Falconi. Kerber was runner up last | :38:54. | :38:55. | |
year to Serena Williams. Away from the tennis, | :38:56. | :39:01. | |
a dramatic crash yesterday. Mark Cavendish is out | :39:02. | :39:05. | |
of the Tour de France. World champion Peter Sagan | :39:06. | :39:07. | |
was disqualified for elbowing Cavendish, although his team have | :39:08. | :39:10. | |
appealed against the decision. Cavendish broke his shoulder | :39:11. | :39:12. | |
and needed stitches in his hand. Rangers have suffered one | :39:13. | :39:17. | |
of the worst defeats Leading 1-0 from the first leg | :39:18. | :39:20. | |
at Ibrox, they were knocked out of the Europa League by a part-time | :39:21. | :39:24. | |
team from Luxembourg and they lost | :39:25. | :39:27. | |
2-0 on the night, Billy Monger, the teenage racing | :39:28. | :39:29. | |
driver involved in a crash earlier this year which saw him | :39:30. | :39:38. | |
lose his legs, has driven a hand It was the first time he'd driven | :39:39. | :39:41. | |
since the accident 11 weeks ago. An online campaign went viral, | :39:42. | :39:47. | |
raising almost ?1 million Isn't that brilliant? All morning | :39:48. | :39:58. | |
we've been spending time with the very, very happy people sitting in | :39:59. | :40:02. | |
the sunshine in the Wimbledon queue. One of the things we've been doing | :40:03. | :40:09. | |
to keep them entertained is playing Game, Set, Mug. Good morning. You | :40:10. | :40:14. | |
are volunteers for this morning and you haven't had much chance to | :40:15. | :40:19. | |
practise. Very little time! Thoughts on technique's I'm thinking under | :40:20. | :40:27. | |
arm. I've got three balls ready. Have you watched Andy Murray do his? | :40:28. | :40:31. | |
That's interesting. He was ready with three balls ready to go. One | :40:32. | :40:38. | |
word of advice, try the under arm first and then maybe try overarm. | :40:39. | :40:43. | |
That's all I'm saying. Start the clock, 30 seconds. Starting, three, | :40:44. | :40:52. | |
two, one, go! Come on! No, no, not one. Try over! Nearly! I think you | :40:53. | :41:00. | |
are doing slightly better. A little bit further. A bit of height. Keep | :41:01. | :41:10. | |
going. Right on the camera! Ten seconds left. Ten seconds. Come on. | :41:11. | :41:19. | |
Over arm! Bounced off the edge! Try over arm! No! Stop! How do you think | :41:20. | :41:31. | |
you did? Very disappointing. Let's go and look. Are you ready? Let's | :41:32. | :41:36. | |
look inside. You announce into the world. How many? Zero! Not very | :41:37. | :41:45. | |
impressive... Absolutely nothing. Do you know how many Andy Murray got | :41:46. | :41:53. | |
in? 14! It was over arm. I did give you a little tip. Can I say overarm? | :41:54. | :42:02. | |
I am saying it to everybody! Thank you so much for trying. That's | :42:03. | :42:10. | |
really good. Trying that live on BBC One for the first time ever, very | :42:11. | :42:15. | |
brave. I do want to say anything about it | :42:16. | :42:19. | |
because we will be challenged to do it, you know that. | :42:20. | :42:23. | |
I'm going for the Andy Murray technique, just overarm. | :42:24. | :42:27. | |
Are you going to practise beforehand? | :42:28. | :42:31. | |
I just going to go in there, feeling strong. | :42:32. | :42:32. | |
You might have heard of Snapchat and you'll almost certainly have | :42:33. | :42:35. | |
seen the selfies people take with those special effects filters. | :42:36. | :42:37. | |
But how would you feel if people on the app could see exactly | :42:38. | :42:52. | |
where your children were when they posted a picture? | :42:53. | :42:54. | |
The app has introduced a new feature which allows users to track each | :42:55. | :42:58. | |
Called SnapMaps, it's raising concerns among parents and child | :42:59. | :43:04. | |
As you go out on the map, there's Sally in Wimbledon, and you can find | :43:05. | :43:18. | |
other people on your Snapchat around the world. We have one of our | :43:19. | :43:24. | |
correspondence in Bangkok. It's really specific. You can find not | :43:25. | :43:28. | |
only what room of the house they are written, you can see whether they | :43:29. | :43:30. | |
are awake or asleep. -- are in. It's a feature that had Loose Women | :43:31. | :43:34. | |
presenter and parent, Nadia Sawalha, worried | :43:35. | :43:37. | |
when she spoke to her daughter I have this friend that I speak to | :43:38. | :43:47. | |
in Florida. She is my age and when I first got SnapMaps I was looking | :43:48. | :43:51. | |
around to see what it was like and I could see she was sitting down in | :43:52. | :43:55. | |
Florida, at high school. You can also see what school people are out. | :43:56. | :44:01. | |
This is so dangerous. I think this is so dangerous and a step too far. | :44:02. | :44:05. | |
I'm completely horrified by this. What do you think? Am I being an | :44:06. | :44:09. | |
overprotective mother? What do you think? Are your kids using it? Digi | :44:10. | :44:14. | |
no it existed, because I didn't ready four hours ago! -- did you | :44:15. | :44:24. | |
know. Good morning. We've spoken of it about it, but what exactly is it | :44:25. | :44:31. | |
letting people see and do? There are two things SnapMap does. Where there | :44:32. | :44:37. | |
is a popular event at the concert, people can post publicly, so you | :44:38. | :44:42. | |
choose to post publicly, and then something comes up to say that lots | :44:43. | :44:46. | |
of people are posting from there and you can see the public videos and | :44:47. | :44:49. | |
pictures that people have shared. The second thing that people are | :44:50. | :44:53. | |
more concerned about is that you can share your location with people on | :44:54. | :44:57. | |
your friends list. If you added me as a friend and I've added you, then | :44:58. | :45:01. | |
we can choose to share our location and see exactly on the map where we | :45:02. | :45:06. | |
are. Do you need to opt in, or is it automatic? Do you have to say that | :45:07. | :45:12. | |
you want to share your location? You do have to opt in, but when they | :45:13. | :45:16. | |
launched it they said there was a new feature and it pops up on your | :45:17. | :45:21. | |
phone and you cut through and by that point you have opted in and you | :45:22. | :45:25. | |
have to go back and take yourself off. So a lot of people are finding | :45:26. | :45:27. | |
that accidentally opted in. You've got a son and you looked at | :45:28. | :45:37. | |
his phone yesterday, was he opted into this? He was. Were you | :45:38. | :45:41. | |
concerned? I didn't know anything about it, I had a conversation and | :45:42. | :45:46. | |
found out about it and I thought, well, let's not get hysterical, | :45:47. | :45:50. | |
let's have a look at it from both sides. I started to research it and | :45:51. | :45:54. | |
was a little bit worried about the fact you can be pinpointed to any | :45:55. | :46:00. | |
area, obviously there's predators, bullies in our communities, you want | :46:01. | :46:06. | |
to make sure they're safe. For me I just bought its great for people who | :46:07. | :46:13. | |
are aware of all of the safeguards on it and if you can put all those | :46:14. | :46:20. | |
in place it could be quite good fun. But there's more vulnerable people | :46:21. | :46:25. | |
in the community who could be... They may not know about the | :46:26. | :46:30. | |
safeguarding aspects and who also maybe think it's a bit fun and we | :46:31. | :46:36. | |
could be pulled into different areas where you wouldn't expect your | :46:37. | :46:39. | |
children to go. From the point of view of your son, he can see where | :46:40. | :46:44. | |
his schoolmates are? They have Snapchat for their class, they keep | :46:45. | :46:48. | |
in contact and talk about homework, if they go for a trip for school, | :46:49. | :46:53. | |
they talk about what they need and if they go out socially they could | :46:54. | :46:58. | |
post pictures of what they're up to. Is the quite tech savvy? When he | :46:59. | :47:04. | |
talked about safety concerns you knew about it? He was telling me. He | :47:05. | :47:09. | |
was telling me about Snap Maps, someone told him about it, one of | :47:10. | :47:13. | |
his friends at school, we went through the safety side of it and I | :47:14. | :47:18. | |
was saying, look, this could happen and he was saying it's fine, if you | :47:19. | :47:24. | |
do this, put ghost mode on, that's fine and nobody can see me. I kind | :47:25. | :47:31. | |
of thought, if somebody hasn't got the settings on, the safety | :47:32. | :47:38. | |
settings, can they see William? He was saying to me, no, they can't, I | :47:39. | :47:45. | |
have to add people in and be able to... Allow them to see him? The | :47:46. | :47:52. | |
thing is, friends and social media aren't necessarily all your friends, | :47:53. | :47:58. | |
that's one of the concerns? That's right, we all have people on our | :47:59. | :48:01. | |
friends list either on Facebook or Twitter that we don't know and | :48:02. | :48:05. | |
Snapchat doesn't give you a discovery feature. I could add you | :48:06. | :48:08. | |
as a public figure and followed Justin Bieber. The thing about the | :48:09. | :48:13. | |
location sharing is you only see the location if you follow each other | :48:14. | :48:17. | |
back, but if you've added people you haven't met in real life, which is | :48:18. | :48:23. | |
possible... It's a shame to have X amount of people following you and | :48:24. | :48:26. | |
following them back, that could be another issue? The other thing is | :48:27. | :48:31. | |
why does it need to be so accurate? If they have posted in a house it | :48:32. | :48:35. | |
tells you exactly where they live. Even the room? It uses GPS so it is | :48:36. | :48:42. | |
very accurate, other apps let you share your location even on a | :48:43. | :48:46. | |
specific case, on WhatsApp you can say I'm here and share your location | :48:47. | :48:50. | |
with one person, and you can check into things like a concert, they are | :48:51. | :48:54. | |
more of a vague location. Snapchat says it has to be super accurate so | :48:55. | :49:01. | |
if you're at a festival together you can pinpoint where your friends are, | :49:02. | :49:04. | |
that's why they've made it so accurate but it is in so make sure | :49:05. | :49:08. | |
on your settings you're not opted in if you don't want to be. Later today | :49:09. | :49:13. | |
we are going to load up a guide on our Facebook and Twitter BBC | :49:14. | :49:16. | |
Breakfast accounts on how to load up ghost mode and how to opt in and | :49:17. | :49:21. | |
out, you didn't go for hysterical mum, you went for a conversation? | :49:22. | :49:26. | |
You have to look at it and from William's point of view, he is very | :49:27. | :49:31. | |
savvy, he is aware of things that happen around him and the school | :49:32. | :49:35. | |
have been very good, they have introduced people who have given | :49:36. | :49:40. | |
them talks about online safety and we do as well. I think parents do | :49:41. | :49:44. | |
have to have a look and see where the children are. It always seems | :49:45. | :49:50. | |
like catch up, doesn't it? ! Thank you very much indeed. | :49:51. | :49:51. | |
We are going to catch up with lovely Carol, court number two, good | :49:52. | :49:55. | |
morning? Good morning. Good morning. First on court number two today is | :49:56. | :50:07. | |
Heather Watson playing serviced over at 11:30am. Expect all these seats | :50:08. | :50:16. | |
to be packed. -- Sevestova. The grand capacity is 39,000 people. | :50:17. | :50:21. | |
That will vary depending on the number of games played and possibly | :50:22. | :50:26. | |
due to the weather as well and during Wimbledon fortnight, 674 | :50:27. | :50:30. | |
matches actually take place so that's a whopping big number. If | :50:31. | :50:33. | |
you're coming down today it's going to stay dry, it will be hot and | :50:34. | :50:39. | |
humid, it's already 17 here, we expect the temperature to be in the | :50:40. | :50:43. | |
high 20s or maybe even 30 with a light breezes to don't forget to | :50:44. | :50:48. | |
slip, slapped and slop, good advice for most of the UK! -- slip, slapped | :50:49. | :50:53. | |
and slop. For the next few days it will be warm and humid but for | :50:54. | :50:57. | |
southern areas it will be hot. We start at 9am in the south, a lot of | :50:58. | :51:02. | |
sunshine with the temperature romping up quickly now. Through the | :51:03. | :51:07. | |
Midlands, northern England, a bit more cloud, a weak weather front | :51:08. | :51:11. | |
decaying but still producing some outbreaks of Brazil, patchy light | :51:12. | :51:14. | |
rain, especially in north-east England and some coastal and hill | :51:15. | :51:23. | |
fog -- outbreaks of drizzle. Only five Celsius at the moment in | :51:24. | :51:26. | |
Northern Scotland but a beautiful start in Northern Ireland with the | :51:27. | :51:29. | |
temperature climbing. In north Wales, a bit more cloud at the | :51:30. | :51:34. | |
moment but that will thin and break, south Wales and south-west England, | :51:35. | :51:39. | |
sunshine. The outside chance of a thundery shower in south-west | :51:40. | :51:41. | |
England this morning but that is all, as we drift from | :51:42. | :51:47. | |
Gloucestershire to London, we are back in the sunshine and | :51:48. | :51:50. | |
temperatures steadily climbing. Also fresher on the coast. As we go | :51:51. | :51:55. | |
through the day, the weather front draped across northern England will | :51:56. | :52:00. | |
tend to weaken, especially from the west and north-west England and | :52:01. | :52:03. | |
south-west Scotland will brighten up to see sunshine. South-west Scotland | :52:04. | :52:07. | |
and north-east England will hang on to more cloud pegging back | :52:08. | :52:11. | |
temperatures. Here we're looking at 13 or 14. In Northern Ireland and | :52:12. | :52:16. | |
Scotland, 18 or 19. For the rest of England and Wales, 24 to 30. 30 is | :52:17. | :52:21. | |
more likely in the south-east. Through the evening and overnight, | :52:22. | :52:25. | |
we start to import thunderstorms across the English Channel across | :52:26. | :52:29. | |
southern counties. At the same time we have a weather front producing | :52:30. | :52:33. | |
rain coming in across western Scotland and Northern Ireland. For | :52:34. | :52:36. | |
some it will be another sticky night with overnight lows of between ten | :52:37. | :52:41. | |
and 18. Tomorrow the rain in Northern Ireland and western | :52:42. | :52:43. | |
Scotland rattles through quickly, late in the day another weather | :52:44. | :52:47. | |
front comes in replacing the rain in the west but it's the thunderstorms | :52:48. | :52:52. | |
across England continuing to migrate northwards, some of them will be | :52:53. | :52:56. | |
hunting is and also they will have hail embedded in them but some will | :52:57. | :53:01. | |
miss them all together and we will have another sunny, dry and sticky | :53:02. | :53:06. | |
day, still the potential tomorrow in the south with highs of 30. As we | :53:07. | :53:11. | |
head into Friday, a lot of dry weather around, the thunderstorm | :53:12. | :53:15. | |
risk diminishes, a few showers in the north-east of England and by the | :53:16. | :53:18. | |
end of the day another weather front bringing rain in Northern Ireland. | :53:19. | :53:22. | |
Fresher for most except in the south where we hang on to high levels of | :53:23. | :53:28. | |
humidity and the high temperatures. Really will be high temperatures! | :53:29. | :53:31. | |
Some people will love it. Thanks very much, Carol! | :53:32. | :53:34. | |
The weather looks amazing at the moment! It has just been wonderful. | :53:35. | :53:41. | |
Every morning... Do you think there's going to be rain? Pharrell | :53:42. | :53:46. | |
Williams Knost. At some stage the weather is going to turn -- Carol | :53:47. | :53:50. | |
will no. It's ten years to the day | :53:51. | :53:52. | |
since the cost of borrowing Since then the direction | :53:53. | :53:55. | |
has been downwards Ben's been looking at the impact | :53:56. | :53:58. | |
on borrowers, savers The Bank of England's Monetary | :53:59. | :54:01. | |
Policy Committee meets every month In recent years rates | :54:02. | :54:06. | |
peaked at just under 6%, with the last increase | :54:07. | :54:14. | |
on this day in 2007. Sarah Coles is a personal | :54:15. | :54:20. | |
finance expert with AOL. Ten years, they stayed at 0.5% for | :54:21. | :54:30. | |
so long and then the cut after the Brexit vote to just 0.25 %, | :54:31. | :54:36. | |
brilliant news for borrowers but terrible for savers? Yes, if you | :54:37. | :54:40. | |
look at the rates in 2007 you could get 6% as a Best Buy rate and now | :54:41. | :54:46. | |
you're looking at 1.25%, for those people trying to live off their | :54:47. | :54:49. | |
savings, especially pensioners, it's been difficult. This has been a | :54:50. | :54:56. | |
really dangerous and difficult time. It shows on one hand and some people | :54:57. | :55:01. | |
will win and other people are going to lose, some would say it's the | :55:02. | :55:05. | |
price some have had to pay to keep the economy on an even keel because | :55:06. | :55:09. | |
the Bank of England cut rates to try to keep the economy ticking over, it | :55:10. | :55:14. | |
was likened to putting the economy on a life-support machine by | :55:15. | :55:18. | |
slashing rates so low, is that a fair assertion, some are going to | :55:19. | :55:22. | |
lose but it's the price we pay for keeping the economy going? It's | :55:23. | :55:26. | |
difficult because borrowing becomes more affordable, it's the era of | :55:27. | :55:29. | |
cheap money and people have made ends meet better because mortgage | :55:30. | :55:33. | |
payments have come down. Looking at typical rates, 2007 was 5.8% for a | :55:34. | :55:40. | |
typical mortgage, now its 2.6% so a big saving for people. The problem | :55:41. | :55:44. | |
comes when you're trying to drive an economy through borrowing, people | :55:45. | :55:48. | |
then just load up more on debt. If you look at borrowing at the moment, | :55:49. | :55:53. | |
there's ?1.3 trillion of mortgage debt compared to ?1.1 trillion in | :55:54. | :55:58. | |
2007, consumer borrowing has gone up as well so we have loaded up on debt | :55:59. | :56:02. | |
which gives us the problem when the Bank of England are looking at | :56:03. | :56:05. | |
raising rates, there's 8 million people who have never experienced a | :56:06. | :56:09. | |
rate rise in their adult life and then they will find borrowing more | :56:10. | :56:13. | |
expensive. Can they deal with it? What about the psychology for people | :56:14. | :56:18. | |
who have never seen a rate rise? We assume money will be cheap for a | :56:19. | :56:21. | |
long time but there's very little incentive to save. This is why | :56:22. | :56:25. | |
savings rates have fallen to record lows because people don't see any | :56:26. | :56:29. | |
point in pushing their money away for 1.25%. The aim of the Bank of | :56:30. | :56:33. | |
England, and why they are talking about making the changes now, is so | :56:34. | :56:37. | |
they can make changes slowly so people get used to small rises. One | :56:38. | :56:41. | |
of the other changes they have been trying to do is make sure people who | :56:42. | :56:45. | |
borrowed money now are making much more stringent tests to afford them, | :56:46. | :56:50. | |
but psychologically it will seem strange to people, especially like | :56:51. | :56:53. | |
it's not like they are left with more money in their pocket, they | :56:54. | :57:01. | |
have money squeezed elsewhere, more expensive in the supermarkets, gas | :57:02. | :57:03. | |
bills, cars, everything is more expensive now. Where the bank was | :57:04. | :57:07. | |
hoping you would have this pre- money and then it's allocated back, | :57:08. | :57:12. | |
it won't work like that in practice so... Thanks for explaining that. | :57:13. | :57:15. | |
More from me after 8am. Now, though, it's back | :57:16. | :00:39. | |
to Dan and Louise. Hello this is Breakfast, | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. Anger and frustration, | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
as the government deadline to rehouse all Grenfell | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
survivors nearby passes. The council says everyone has been | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
made an offer but families say Most remain in hotels | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
three weeks on. It doesn't feel like home. I miss my | :00:55. | :01:08. | |
room. My daughter, she's not... She's losing her focus, because this | :01:09. | :01:09. | |
is not her place. And at another angry meeting | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
with the police last night - residents say their questions | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
still aren't being answered. Whatever it is, we want to know | :01:16. | :01:23. | |
exactly what it is, do not hide anything. | :01:24. | :01:34. | |
Good morning, it's Wednesday 5th July. | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
Also this morning, victims of stalking and harassment | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
are being put at risk, because of failings | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
by police and prosecutors - a new report blames poor | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
investigations and a lack of legal protection. | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
An average debt of more than ?50,000 for university students in England - | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
a new report says they'll be paying it off into their 50s. | :01:54. | :02:03. | |
I will talk about that and also have news that it is ten years to the day | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
since interest rates fell to their record lows, but why, and what does | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
it mean to the economy? I'll have the details. Good morning from the | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
Wimbledon queue, some of these lucky people might be able to see Andy | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
Murray play on centre court later on, after two of his main rivals | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
suggested yesterday there should be a change in the rules, after both | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
their opponents retired through injury. And Mark Cavendish is out of | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
the Tour de France. He broke his shoulder in a collision with a world | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
champion, Peter Sagan, who has been disqualified from the race. And I am | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
inside Wimbledon this morning where the sun is beating down, the | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
temperature is already 18 Celsius and it will get hotter, in fact the | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
forecast for most of us today is a dry run with some sunshine, hot and | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
humid in the South. The exceptions across the north of England and | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
southern Scotland, where there is a band of cloud and some patchy, light | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
rain will improve through the day from the West. A full weather report | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
from 8:15am. Most of the families | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
who lost their homes in the devastating Grenfell Tower | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
fire are still living in hotels - despite government pledges | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
to rehouse them all by today. Officials say everyone has been made | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
an offer of temporary accommodation but lawyers for the families say | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
many are unsuitable. There was also anger | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
at a meeting with police and the Westminster Coroner last | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
night, where residents demanded to know why | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
there have been no arrests. This was the first opportunity | :03:29. | :03:30. | |
for families to put their questions directly to police and | :03:31. | :03:38. | |
the Westminster coroner. One reason this private meeting | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
lasted more than 3.5 hours. It's understood relatives were told | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
in graphic detail the challenge that forensic teams are facing in even | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
trying to find DNA, which could They say the information | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
they are getting isn't good enough. We personally asked, | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
where is our family? We want to know, is our families' | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
bodies still there? Whatever it is, we want to know | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
exactly what it is, And the answers that | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
were coming back were, "We don't know, we don't know, | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
we don't know." Today is the deadline set | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
by Theresa May to rehouse the 158 families made homeless | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
by the disaster. According to the Grenfell response | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
team, that target has been met, with 139 formal offers made, | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
but just nine have been accepted. with 139 formal offers made, | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
but just 14 have been accepted. Survivors say most | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
of the accommodation My daughter, she's not... She's | :04:37. | :04:46. | |
losing her focus, because this is not her place. They need something | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
suitable for them, something with dignity, that's what they are | :04:52. | :04:52. | |
looking for. Three weeks after the tragedy, | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
police still maintain their investigation will be | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
exhaustive and will bring the answers that the families | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
desperately deserve, Speaking to this programme early on, | :05:00. | :05:12. | |
a spokeswoman for the Grenfell response team said the council would | :05:13. | :05:14. | |
continue to find homes for all residents. When you are dealing with | :05:15. | :05:22. | |
158 families, of which only 14 have accepted the current temporary | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
association, you have two factor in it goes at the pace of each | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
individual family and that is the important point. That is why you | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
can't put a timescale on it, because it is not about numbers and not | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
about rushing people to meet targets. It is about understanding | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
the devastating impact on these families, and that each family has | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
to have wraparound support to make the right decisions and get to the | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
right position in order to be to help them move forward. | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
Victims of harassment and stalking in England and Wales are being left | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
at risk because of failings by police and prosecutors. | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
Two watchdogs found that crimes weren't being recorded, | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
investigations were poorly conducted and legal protection wasn't | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
They examined 112 cases in detail and concluded that none had | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
Officers and prosecutors were identifying cases in isolation, | :06:06. | :06:19. | |
whereas, by its very nature, both stalking and harassment occurs | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
as a result of really pernicious and persistent offending | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
and officers and prosecutors were missing that, which meant that | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
The rationing of NHS treatments like hip, knee and cataract operations, | :06:27. | :06:51. | |
as well as mental health services, has increased significantly in | :06:52. | :06:51. | |
England over the past four years. Growing financial pressure | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
and increased demand for services has led some areas to withdraw | :06:58. | :06:59. | |
funding for some procedures, according | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
to the British Medical Journal. It's leading to what | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
some doctors describe Here's our health correspondent, | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
Dominic Hughes. A growing and ageing population is | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
placing increasing demands on the NHS, that in turn is ramping up the | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
pressure on finances, so, to save money in some areas, funding for | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
commentary mince is being withdrawn. Doctors say health leaders must be | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
honest with patients about the tough choices they are having to make. The | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
NHS is seriously struggling financially, and that is because of | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
a decade of underinvestment by the government. The year after year we | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
have seen a lack of investment, so local areas are having to make these | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
really difficult decisions, and ultimately, in many areas, rationing | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
services. Where funding has been withdrawn, GPs can make individual | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
requests on a case-by-case basis. A BMJ analysis as overall these have | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
increased by 47% in the past four years. There has also been a big | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
rise in requests for hip and knee operations over the same time | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
period, and the number of cataract operations for which Sun -- funding | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
has been sought has also gone up. In England, decisions on what services | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
the fund are made by local clinical commissioning groups, the national | :08:10. | :08:11. | |
body that represents them says that given a limited budget, they are | :08:12. | :08:16. | |

against those of the wider population, but doctors and health | :08:21. | :08:23. | |

Saudi Arabia is the biggest foreign promoter of Islamist | :08:31. | :08:32. | |
extremism in the UK, according to a foreign | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
The Henry Jackson Society accuses Saudi individuals and foundations | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
of exporting 'an illiberal, bigoted ideology' and calls | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
for the UK government's secret report into extremism | :08:43. | :08:44. | |
The Saudi embassy in London has called the allegations | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
The average student debt for graduates in England is set | :08:51. | :09:06. | |
The figure has emerged after research carried out | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
by the Insititute for Fiscal Studies. | :09:10. | :09:11. | |
it is a pretty terrible for not having to pay off loans and debts | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
well into your 50s that these are the figures from the Institute for | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
Fiscal Studies, suggesting that with such a debt burden, having graduated | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
with a good job even, people will be paying well into their 50s. They are | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
great that if you take out a loan about ?45,000 over three or four | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
years of your university career, you will pay about ?51,000 back by the | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
time you have added up all the interest. It also points out the | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
interest rate charged on that loan is pretty sky-high, just over 6%, | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
and if you compare that in what we pay on things like mortgages and | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
normal loans on the open market, the Bank of England base rate of growth | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
at a record low of a quarter of 1%, so they say there is a big | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
difference, students are being hit with these extra charges. We should | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
savour the universities it has meant more money, they have been able to | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
invest more per student, they have been able to invest in universities | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
up and down the country. This applies to students in England. At a | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
really worrying thought about how long students will be burdened with | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
the step and if and when they are able to pay it back. They point out | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
you can only start paying it back when you are earning over ?21,000 a | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
year, that threshold has not changed, that has not moved in line | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
with inflation, so as soon as you hit ?21,000 in earnings, you start | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
paying it back, and as they point out, that means you could be paying | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
it back well back into that your 50s. On that happy news... It is ten | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
past eight this morning. Said self restraint was a choice | :10:39. | :10:54. | |
that could change at any time. For the latest, let's speak to our Seoul | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
correspondent, Steve Evans. Every time there was a missile test, there | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
are raised tensions, what do you make of the latest events? Raised | :11:04. | :11:10. | |
tension as you say, quite obviously a war of words, no obvious | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
diplomatic way out, Kim Jong-un is saying the missile test, which was | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
obviously successful, was a gift to America on American Independence | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
Day. The military officers here are saying peace is a choice, and we | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
could choose -- choose the other way. That is the gist of what they | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
are saying. It is obviously a tense situation. I don't think it is the | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
famed red line yet, where Donald Trump said back in January it won't | :11:39. | :11:47. | |
happen. Ie Kill, a -- a missile capable of hitting the US. They have | :11:48. | :11:56. | |
it -- a missile that can hit Alaska, we don't know if it is accurate but | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
not, it won't hit Seattle or Los Angeles. We're not quite there yet. | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
But every step of the way, and this is a big step, makes the world more | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
dangerous, absolutely no doubt about that. Steve Evans, thank you, from | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
Seoul. Bijan Ebrahimi was brutally murdered | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
by his neighbour in 2013 - kicked to death and set alight | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
on his estate in Bristol. In the years up to his death, he'd | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
repeatedly called police to tell them that he was being racially | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
abused by some of his neighbours Now an investigation into his death | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
by the Independent Police Complaints Commission | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
has found that the Avon and Someset Constabulary | :12:36. | :12:37. | |
systematically failed We'll speak to IPCC | :12:38. | :12:38. | |
Commissioner Jan Williams in a minute, after this report | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
from our correspondent Jon Kay. He told police dozens of times | :12:44. | :12:45. | |
that his life was in danger. What part of 'be quiet' | :12:46. | :12:56. | |
do you not understand? Now a report says that over several | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
years, the Iranian refugee was repeatedly failed by Avon | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
and Somerset police, treated In 2013, he was beaten to death | :13:06. | :13:07. | |
by a neighbour outside his flat The Independent Police | :13:08. | :13:14. | |
Complaints Commission says there were systematic failures | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
in the way he was dealt with. Today's report runs to hundreds | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
of pages and it says this whole case has laid bare what it calls | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
the disrespect, the prejudice and even contempt with which some | :13:27. | :13:28. | |
officers and staff treated Bijan Ebrahimi in the days before | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
he was murdered here. Reading that report and just coming | :13:32. | :13:40. | |
to terms with what happened He always thought that he is in | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
a country that police And he couldn't see | :13:44. | :13:51. | |
anything beyond that. Last year, PC Kevin Duffy | :13:52. | :13:58. | |
and community support officer Andrew Passmore were jailed, | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
after being convicted PC's Leanne Winter and Helen Harris | :14:03. | :14:04. | |
ere cleared by the jury, but were later sacked | :14:05. | :14:14. | |
by a misconduct hearing. We accept that we failed | :14:15. | :14:16. | |
Bijan Ebrahimi at his time of greatest need and throughout that | :14:17. | :14:18. | |
time, he was respectful and he had confidence | :14:19. | :14:20. | |
and trust in us, the police. And we let him down | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
and for that, we are sorry. Avon and Somerset Police say | :14:24. | :14:30. | |
they have improved the way that they deal with vulnerable | :14:31. | :14:32. | |
people as a result of this case. Bijan's sisters are still waiting | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
for the local council's report. Let's speak to the IPCC's | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
Commissioner, Jan Williams, now. Morning to you, Jan. Listening to | :14:39. | :14:51. | |
John's report, this is so many serious police failings, aren't | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
there? Yes, the magnitude of this failure is very, very clear, and the | :14:56. | :15:03. | |
evidence in our report shows that systematic, consistently, over at | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
least a seven year period, even and Somerset police let vision in pretty | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
media down. They never identified him as a vulnerable man who was a | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
victim of abuse and who really needed their protection and their | :15:19. | :15:29. | |
support. -- Bijan Ebrahimi. When you look at those calls, 40 of the calls | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
were not actually recorded as crimes by the police. It is systematic | :15:36. | :15:42. | |
failure over a number of years. It is a systematic failure, and it is | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
extremely hard to understand, because the nature of those calls | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
were such that Bijan Ebrahimi was self identifying himself as a victim | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
of race hate crime. He was reporting criminal damage. He was reporting | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
his fears of threats to his life. What he found instead was that he | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
was labelled as the perpetrator, who was labelled as a liar, a time | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
waster, and attention sicker, and his neighbour's counter allegations | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
were always accepted at face value, even if there was absolutely no | :16:18. | :16:19. | |
evidence underpinning them. So there is no doubt that those officers and | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
staff who interacted with Mr Ebrahimi discriminated against him | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
consistently, to his detriment, and without rational explanation. | :16:32. | :16:38. | |
Is that what you mean when you say them are hallmarks of racial bias? | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
There were remarks that could be construed as that. Quite clear he | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
was discriminated against. The judge in the criminal proceedings and the | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
misconduct panel did not find evidence officers were | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
discriminating against him because of racial bias. The family believes | :16:59. | :17:06. | |
he was a victim of race hate crime. There is evidence to suggest it is | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
open to interpretation. The motives behind the officers' behaviour is | :17:11. | :17:18. | |
not clear that respect. What is overwhelmingly clear is that they | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
failed time and time again to identify him as a victim, | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
anti-recognise his vulnerability, and to give him protection and | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
support. He never had the protection and support no matter how many times | :17:35. | :17:41. | |
he asked for it. The important question is what recommendations | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
have you made, and what lessons have to B and hopefully will be learned? | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
I have made a number of recommendations to Avon and Somerset | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
which have wider applications. Important that the leadership of | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
Avon and Somerset Police and police forces widely make it clear to | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
officers and staff that discrimination of any kind, bias of | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
any kind, conscious or unconscious has absolutely no place in modern | :18:10. | :18:10. | |
policing. You're watching | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
Breakfast from BBC News. Grenfell Tower survivors have | :18:17. | :18:18. | |
expressed their frustration at the authorities, saying questions | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
still aren't being answered North Korea is warned by the USA | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
and South Korea that war can't be ruled out, | :18:26. | :18:32. | |
after Pyongyang's intercontinental We are going to go to Wimbledon | :18:33. | :18:51. | |
again. Glorious there. Carol, good morning. You are absolutely right, | :18:52. | :19:01. | |
glorious this morning. Look at their view on Centre Court, currently 20 | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
Celsius. Pollen levels are high and very high across most of England and | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
Wales. Northern Ireland and Scotland moderate, the Fat North of Scotland | :19:12. | :19:18. | |
they are low. You can see full coverage of the World Championships | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
across the BBC. Interestingly BBC have been covering the Open | :19:24. | :19:25. | |
Championship some radio for the last 90 years, on television for the last | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
80 years, today no exception. The forecast today is a dry one. | :19:32. | :19:38. | |
Increasingly turning hot and humid. Maximum temperature into the high | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
20s, possibly getting 30. If you are coming down, do not forget to slip, | :19:45. | :19:51. | |
slap and slot on your sunscreen. Next few days, hot and humid | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
conditions. As we start the day we have that already. A lot of sunshine | :19:57. | :20:03. | |
in eastern counties, and the Midlands. As we new North, patchy | :20:04. | :20:10. | |
light rain and drizzle also some coastal mist and build fault. In | :20:11. | :20:17. | |
northern Scotland were looking for sunny but chilly start to the day. | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
Northern Ireland are off to a fine start from a fair bit of sunshine. | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
Continuing through the day. Wales under the same weather front in the | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
North. South Wales will see a lot of sunshine. South-west England also | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
sunny, just outside chance of a thundery shower. As we drift from | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
Gloucestershire to the Home Counties, back into the sunshine. | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
Temperatures continuing to quickly rise. As we gazed through the course | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
of the day when we have the decaying weather front, it will brighten up. | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
North-west England, south-west Scotland. North-east England and | :20:54. | :21:00. | |
Scotland hanging onto cloud. Temperatures back to 13 and 14. 1718 | :21:01. | :21:08. | |
in Northern Ireland. Temperatures high in the rest of England. | :21:09. | :21:16. | |
Mid-20s, possibly 30. Overnight, thunderstorms coming up across the | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
English Channel, across southern counties of England. At the same | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
time the weather front of a western Scotland and Northern Ireland | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
introducing some rain. Minimum temperatures tonight, 10-18. Quite | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
sticky in the South. Tomorrow, the rain in Northern Ireland and | :21:35. | :21:36. | |
Scotland comes through quite quickly. And you weather front into | :21:37. | :21:44. | |
the West introducing more rain. We cannot rule out Wales, thunderstorms | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
moving northwards. Some of them will be torrential, some will have fail, | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
some will miss altogether. Another dry, sunny and hot and humid day. | :21:54. | :22:05. | |
Potential of mid-20s, 230. Try for most on Friday. 12-macro showers in | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
north-east England. The weather front into Northern Ireland will | :22:12. | :22:13. | |
introduce some rain. In between lots of dry weather. Feeling fresher, | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
more comfortable for most of us, still sticky in the south-east. | :22:19. | :22:25. | |
Extraordinary temperatures. Been wonderful this Wimbledon. Fingers | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
crossed it stays like that for the players. Soumaoro the risk of | :22:29. | :22:37. | |
thunderstorms. -- tomorrow the risk of thunderstorms. Some furious | :22:38. | :22:45. | |
cleaning behind her. It was one of the key promises | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
from Theresa May in the wake of the Grenfell Tower tragedy - | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
that all survivors would be rehoused Despite that pledge only nine offers | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
have been accepted and many families So, three weeks after that | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
devastating fire, why are so many people still not living in a place | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
they can call home? Frankie McCamley went to meet one | :23:05. | :23:06. | |
man and his 10-year-old daughter Sid-Ali and his daughter Hayam | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
and his wife lived on the 15th They've now been living | :23:10. | :23:23. | |
in a hotel for three weeks. It's not comfortable and it | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
doesn't feel like home. I miss my room and all the memories | :23:28. | :23:34. | |
I had, my baby albums, She's losing her focus | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
because this isn't her place, I find it hard to sleep, | :23:40. | :23:50. | |
I have nightmares about if it happens again, if I wake up | :23:51. | :23:57. | |
and I see fire in the building. I feel I have no power to take away | :23:58. | :24:05. | |
all this pain from her. If I could, I would, I would take | :24:06. | :24:15. | |
all the pain and put it on me. The families say they have received | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
calls of support from local services but what they really want | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
is for someone to visit them. The people in my building, | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
they were very close to me and they were like family and seeing | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
them go wasn't good. As the family struggle to come | :24:36. | :24:50. | |
to terms with what happened, they say they have been offered | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
a two bedroom flat just over a mile away, but Sid-Ali says it's too far | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
from Hayam's school and it's They need to see us as a victim | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
and treat us with dignity, we're not Three weeks they haven't | :25:04. | :25:12. | |
found a solution. The council says it's made 139 | :25:13. | :25:25. | |
offers of accommodation to Grenfell Tower residents, | :25:26. | :25:28. | |
nine of which have been accepted. It says the three-week target | :25:29. | :25:31. | |
of offering temporary homes to those affected has been met, | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
but for this family the money and support they've been offered has | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
simply not been good enough. They're putting a price on us, | :25:41. | :25:43. | |
they give ?5,000 each and ?500, Have you got any faith | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
in the services any more? No, I have faith in the residents, | :25:48. | :26:05. | |
I have faith in the community, I have faith in the people | :26:06. | :26:08. | |
who live their lives... My faith is there, | :26:09. | :26:11. | |
my faith is there. Then update on the accommodation | :26:12. | :26:25. | |
numbers, we spoke to a person from the Grenfell Tower 's response team. | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
Of the 139 formal offers, 14 have been accepted. Given what they said | :26:31. | :26:37. | |
about somebody not visiting, she said she would follow that up, and | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
find out why that may be the case. You can watch that interview and the | :26:44. | :26:51. | |

Still to come, more from centre court. Looking ahead to all the | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
action S FW 19 on day three of Wimbledon. Right now, let's get | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
news, travel and weather. Hello, this is Breakfast | :27:06. | :30:33. | |
with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. Most of the families | :30:34. | :30:40. | |
who lost their homes in the devastating Grenfell Tower | :30:41. | :30:44. | |
fire are still living in hotels - despite government pledges | :30:45. | :30:47. | |
to rehouse them all by today. Officials say everyone has been made | :30:48. | :30:49. | |
an offer of temporary accommodation but lawyers for the families say | :30:50. | :30:52. | |
many are unsuitable. There was also anger | :30:53. | :30:59. | |
at a meeting with police and the Westminster Coroner last | :31:00. | :31:01. | |
night, where residents demanded to know why | :31:02. | :31:03. | |
there have been no arrests. Speaking to Breakfast in the last | :31:04. | :31:08. | |
half hour a spokeswoman for the Grenfell Response Team said | :31:09. | :31:11. | |
the council would continue to try When you're dealing with 158 | :31:12. | :31:13. | |
families, of which only 14 have currently accepted the temporary | :31:14. | :31:21. | |
accommodation, you have to actually factor in that it goes at the pace | :31:22. | :31:24. | |
of each individual family. That's the important point, | :31:25. | :31:29. | |
and that's why you can't It's not about numbers, | :31:30. | :31:32. | |
and it's not about rushing It's about understanding | :31:33. | :31:35. | |
the devastating impact on these families, and that each family has | :31:36. | :31:40. | |
to have wraparound support in order to be able to make the right | :31:41. | :31:43. | |
decisions and get to the right position in order to be able | :31:44. | :31:46. | |
to help them move forward. Victims of harassment and stalking | :31:47. | :31:53. | |
in England and Wales are being left at risk because of failings | :31:54. | :31:56. | |
by police and prosecutors. Two watchdogs found that crimes | :31:57. | :31:59. | |
weren't being recorded, investigations were poorly conducted | :32:00. | :32:01. | |
and legal protection wasn't They examined 112 cases in detail | :32:02. | :32:04. | |
and concluded that none had The US and South Korea have jointly | :32:05. | :32:10. | |
warned North Korea that war cannot be ruled out, | :32:11. | :32:17. | |
following Pyongyang's intercontinental ballistic | :32:18. | :32:18. | |
missile test on Tuesday. The two countries' most senior | :32:19. | :32:23. | |

the British Medical Journal says growing financial pressure | :33:17. | :33:18. | |

80th birthday of Spam. It was there to schoolchildren, Spam and chips, | :34:15. | :34:23. | |
Spam and beans... We have a mixed relationship with this wonderful | :34:24. | :34:28. | |
substance. 8 billion cans have been sold as a delicacy in some parts of | :34:29. | :34:31. | |
the world and I'm sure you will remember, and if you don't, let's | :34:32. | :34:35. | |
have a look at how it was immortalised in a Monty Python | :34:36. | :34:40. | |
sketch. Have you got anything without Spam in it? Spam, sausage | :34:41. | :34:48. | |
and egg doesn't have much Spam in it. I can't have Spam! Could I have | :34:49. | :34:55. | |
egg, Bacon, Spam and sausage without the spam. I don't like Spam! # Spam, | :34:56. | :35:17. | |
Spam, Spam... #. I've been told we have to try some. Thank you for all | :35:18. | :35:21. | |
your lovely Spam recipes this morning. My favourite one was | :35:22. | :35:27. | |
Bolognese with Spam. Someone said the perfect way to deal with Spam is | :35:28. | :35:32. | |
to put it in cubes, feed it to the dog and then throw it in the bin. | :35:33. | :35:41. | |
Are you struggling?! I'm with them! You're not going to be able to | :35:42. | :35:45. | |
resist it on its 80th birthday! Magnificent! Did you not like it | :35:46. | :35:50. | |
either? LAUGHTER I love it! Victoria Derbyshire is on BBC Two | :35:51. | :36:00. | |
later this morning. Let's find out what they're | :36:01. | :36:03. | |
covering on today's show. Good morning. Today we'll talk to a | :36:04. | :36:12. | |
woman who says her life was stolen because she was stalked over a | :36:13. | :36:16. | |
five-year period by her neighbour. She called the police 125 times. In | :36:17. | :36:22. | |
the end her neighbour attacked her. He's since been convicted of | :36:23. | :36:25. | |
attempted murder. But on the day a new report says victims of stalking | :36:26. | :36:30. | |
are being failed by the police. Join us after Breakfast. | :36:31. | :36:39. | |
Coming up here on Breakfast this morning. | :36:40. | :36:43. | |
We'll be finding out how it feels to be pregnant in one | :36:44. | :36:46. | |
of the remotest parts of the UK - where the nearest hospital | :36:47. | :36:49. | |
Breakfast's had a glimpse into the life of one of Britain's | :36:50. | :36:53. | |
most celebrated poets, as a new collection of his personal | :36:54. | :36:55. | |
belongings reveals a surprising side to Philip Larkin. | :36:56. | :36:57. | |
The comedian David Sedaris will be here to tell us how he went | :36:58. | :37:00. | |
from working as a Christmas elf in Macy's department | :37:01. | :37:02. | |
store to being described as the "the American Alan Bennett". | :37:03. | :37:09. | |
Quite interestingly, he's been publishing his diaries. Shall we go | :37:10. | :37:21. | |
back to Wimbledon? Sally is there and she's got all the sport. I know | :37:22. | :37:26. | |
you've been mentioning this today, there's been quite a few complaints | :37:27. | :37:30. | |
from those who have been to Wimbledon saying people are turning | :37:31. | :37:34. | |
up just to get their money, they are retiring after a set, going home, | :37:35. | :37:39. | |
collecting their ?35,000, even though they are injured and probably | :37:40. | :37:43. | |
shouldn't be there in the first place. It's a really good point, | :37:44. | :37:48. | |
it's all over the papers today. Everyone's been talking about it. | :37:49. | :37:53. | |
You would imagine, if you had tickets and found out you were lucky | :37:54. | :37:57. | |
enough to have tickets for Wimbledon on Centre Court on date two, you'd | :37:58. | :38:03. | |
be really excited. You're going to see Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer. | :38:04. | :38:07. | |
Actually for people yesterday on Centre Court there were two injury | :38:08. | :38:10. | |
retirements which means they didn't see as much tennis as they were | :38:11. | :38:14. | |
expecting. Those players who go into those matches, are they going in | :38:15. | :38:19. | |
with an injury knowing they might need help? I don't know. As you say, | :38:20. | :38:25. | |
here at Wimbledon if you make it into your first round match you get | :38:26. | :38:31. | |
?35,000. What's the alternative? To do the honourable thing and suggest | :38:32. | :38:35. | |
you're not fit enough and not play, or at least have a go? It's been a | :38:36. | :38:40. | |
talking point this morning, that's for sure. Andy Murray taking on | :38:41. | :38:48. | |
Dustin Brown today. They said it could be time to change the rules | :38:49. | :38:55. | |
after yesterday. Klizan played for 40 minutes before his calf injury | :38:56. | :39:03. | |
was too much. Roger Federer's match wasn't much longer. They joked in | :39:04. | :39:07. | |
the locker room maybe they should play a practice session together | :39:08. | :39:09. | |
because they had so little time on the grass. | :39:10. | :39:13. | |
There was more controversy after Australian Bernard Tomic said | :39:14. | :39:15. | |
he was "bored" during his straight-sets defeat | :39:16. | :39:17. | |
He also admitted to using a medical time-out to try to slow down | :39:18. | :39:21. | |
the match, which could earn him a fine. | :39:22. | :39:25. | |
After going out in the first round for four years in a row, | :39:26. | :39:28. | |
Kyle Edmund finally made it through to round two when he beat | :39:29. | :39:31. | |
Alex Ward is standing next to me right now! | :39:32. | :39:40. | |
And women's world number one Angelique Kerber is through, | :39:41. | :39:42. | |
after beating American qualifier Irina Falconi. | :39:43. | :39:43. | |
Kerber was runner up last year to Serena Williams. | :39:44. | :39:48. | |
She walked out here onto Centre Court and those memories came back | :39:49. | :39:52. | |
to her. I'm not surprised. Mark Cavendish is out of the Tour de | :39:53. | :39:56. | |
France after a crash at the end World champion Peter Sag-ANN | :39:57. | :39:59. | |
was disqualified for elbowing Cavendish, although his team have | :40:00. | :40:02. | |
appealed against the decision. Cavendish broke his shoulder | :40:03. | :40:04. | |
and needed stitches in his hand. Rangers have suffered one of | :40:05. | :40:09. | |
the worst defeats in their history. Leading 1-0 from the first leg | :40:10. | :40:16. | |
at Ibrox, they were knocked out of the Europa League by a part-time | :40:17. | :40:18. | |
team from Luxembourg Progres Niederkorn, | :40:19. | :40:21. | |
losing 2-0 on the night, There are reports that | :40:22. | :40:22. | |
Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney will return | :40:23. | :40:25. | |
to his first club Everton this week. He's apparently been left out | :40:26. | :40:28. | |
of United's preseason tour Wouldn't that be a thing? I remember | :40:29. | :40:47. | |
interviewing him as a 16-year-old at Everton. Wouldn't be incredible, it | :40:48. | :40:54. | |
would be like going home for him. I mentioned Alex Ward. Good morning. | :40:55. | :40:58. | |
We mentioned your match yesterday. You were beaten by Kyle Edmund. But | :40:59. | :41:04. | |
actually took the first set off him, you appeared at Wimbledon, and your | :41:05. | :41:10. | |
mum was here to watch. It was her 60th birthday and we had a little | :41:11. | :41:13. | |
invention or moment with her talking about how proud she was. The match | :41:14. | :41:20. | |
yesterday was tough. I started off really well, got a break early and | :41:21. | :41:24. | |
won the first set but he ran away a bit and I ran out of steam a bit. It | :41:25. | :41:29. | |
was great playing on my mums 60th and a nice little hug after, gave | :41:30. | :41:34. | |
her a present, she was happy. That's good because a little bird told me | :41:35. | :41:37. | |
you don't ring her often enough, you need to call her more! OK, I'll try | :41:38. | :41:44. | |
and improve that now! Life on the road for you is busy, isn't it, and | :41:45. | :41:51. | |
it's tough? It is. We travel 30-35 weeks a year, all around the world. | :41:52. | :41:57. | |
There's some tough places out there, it's a bit of a dogfight. For many | :41:58. | :42:01. | |
people watching from the outside, they probably think you have this | :42:02. | :42:06. | |
incredibly glamorous, fabulous tennis players life. What's the | :42:07. | :42:10. | |
reality? I love playing professionally, it's a dream job but | :42:11. | :42:14. | |
it can be tough. A lot of the time I'm travelling around, I haven't got | :42:15. | :42:18. | |
a sponsor so I'm putting all of my prize money back into hotels and | :42:19. | :42:24. | |
accommodation. It's a tough gig. In some places I heard that when you | :42:25. | :42:27. | |
turn up at events, you have to put your stick on your car in the car | :42:28. | :42:32. | |
park, pay your parking, it's not like turning up as a footballer at a | :42:33. | :42:36. | |
stadium. If I haven't managed to learn to drive yet so I haven't got | :42:37. | :42:40. | |
a car! I been putting all my money straight back into my tennis! I | :42:41. | :42:46. | |
might be paying for the train. Thank you so much for coming to talk to | :42:47. | :42:52. | |
us. Go and give your mum a nice lunch and! I'll go and ring her now! | :42:53. | :42:58. | |
You need to call home more! Big match on Centre Court today. Andy | :42:59. | :43:03. | |
Murray playing Dustin Brown. Let's talk to Jamie Baker. You are a | :43:04. | :43:08. | |
proper, good old-fashioned school had friend of Andy Murray. How long | :43:09. | :43:14. | |
have you known him? Since I was six or seven, since the first time he | :43:15. | :43:18. | |
beat me 6-0 in an under ten event. He was a year younger and he still | :43:19. | :43:26. | |
beat me 6-0! He was good very early. You've not had a terrible career | :43:27. | :43:32. | |
yourself. I've done my best. Tennis is an amazing sport to do for a job. | :43:33. | :43:36. | |
It was a real privilege to do something that started as a hobby | :43:37. | :43:40. | |
and ends up being a profession. Still involved in the game here, | :43:41. | :43:44. | |
talking about tennis over two weeks, better than sitting in an office! | :43:45. | :43:49. | |
You're working for the BBC and coverage is all over BBC radio | :43:50. | :43:52. | |
television and online. Let's talk about handy's match. Dustin Brown, | :43:53. | :43:59. | |
we would expect Andy Murray to beat him but he is not easy to beat, is | :44:00. | :44:04. | |
he? He is not easy. He's not your average tour player. Sometimes in | :44:05. | :44:09. | |
modern-day tennis but could be a one-dimensional player. Dustin Brown | :44:10. | :44:13. | |
is the opposite. He has great memories playing here, he beat | :44:14. | :44:18. | |
Leyton Hewitt and Rafael Nadal. He will love the big occasion. There's | :44:19. | :44:22. | |
a massive gap in rankings but Dustin Brown isn't going to be consistent | :44:23. | :44:25. | |
every single week. Come second round of Wimbledon he's going to think, if | :44:26. | :44:30. | |
I have a chance of troubling the big players it's going to be early in | :44:31. | :44:33. | |
the tournament so what better time than now? Do you have any inside | :44:34. | :44:40. | |
info about and the's hip? It is unusual for him not to be on a | :44:41. | :44:44. | |
practice court for two or three days in a week building up to a grand | :44:45. | :44:47. | |
slam. There was clearly something there. The draw he has, today will | :44:48. | :44:52. | |
be a bit of the test. He has the opportunity to play his way into the | :44:53. | :44:56. | |
event which is what he likes. Obviously there is a day of rest in | :44:57. | :45:00. | |
between at as well as well as the middle Sunday. After the first week | :45:01. | :45:04. | |
the issue will have had a chance to heal. So actually the draw could be | :45:05. | :45:12. | |
in his favour? I think so. He's come up against and I though Carla vich | :45:13. | :45:19. | |
-- he's not come up against an Ivo Karlovic touch. He's definitely | :45:20. | :45:23. | |
playing against players he likes to play against. One of the things I | :45:24. | :45:27. | |
heard him say either before or after the first round match the other day | :45:28. | :45:31. | |
was, just walking this court sharpens his mind. All the memories | :45:32. | :45:34. | |
come flooding back. This place gives him a left. | :45:35. | :45:41. | |
Thank you both very much. Imagine being beaten by Andy Murray. What it | :45:42. | :45:52. | |
straight sets? It was only set in the under tens. Beaten by Andy | :45:53. | :45:57. | |
Murray in the under tens in Dunblane. Not many can say they have | :45:58. | :45:59. | |
done that. If you're pregnant in a rural | :46:00. | :46:06. | |
community, you might live hundreds of miles away | :46:07. | :46:08. | |
from the nearest hospital. A new documentary follows a group | :46:09. | :46:12. | |
of expectant mums living in the Scottish Highlands | :46:13. | :46:15. | |
and the midwives who help them prepare for birth in one | :46:16. | :46:17. | |
of the wildest corners In a minute, we'll speak to one | :46:18. | :46:20. | |
of those mums and the midwife who looked after her, | :46:21. | :46:25. | |
but first let's take You are with the magnificent Arthur, | :46:26. | :46:27. | |
King Arthur! On the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, | :46:28. | :46:37. | |
the midwives of Campbeltown provide their expertise to mums | :46:38. | :46:41. | |
to be in villages and towns over this beautiful, | :46:42. | :46:44. | |
but challenging terrain. Working here really | :46:45. | :46:55. | |
appeals to midwife Becky. Basically, if you looked up the term | :46:56. | :47:00. | |
"midwife" in the dictionary, You're just with the women | :47:01. | :47:09. | |
in the whole time. You become almost like part | :47:10. | :47:12. | |
of their family as well. Bridie Grant and baby Arthur join us | :47:13. | :47:18. | |
now, along with midwife Becky Brown. And midwife Becky Brown is here as | :47:19. | :47:33. | |
well. Tell us about Arthur's arrival? It was an epic journey. It | :47:34. | :47:41. | |
was. We had always intended to be able to have a local birth, but | :47:42. | :47:46. | |
circumstances changed a bit. So we ended up going up the road to the | :47:47. | :47:52. | |
hospital. But when you set up the road, it was hours up the road. Yes, | :47:53. | :47:57. | |
the hospital was a four and a half hour journey by car. That was | :47:58. | :48:04. | |
definitely intense. So you're already having contractions in the | :48:05. | :48:12. | |
car and your husband is driving. It is easy to panic in that situation. | :48:13. | :48:22. | |
Yes, I get quite calm my huff -- my husband was panicking. He thought I | :48:23. | :48:34. | |
was going to give birth in the car. No., you live in a beautiful place, | :48:35. | :48:39. | |
but it is remote. You are a midwife there. What are your main issues? | :48:40. | :48:45. | |
Really, it is thinking ahead. We are constantly risk assessing our women | :48:46. | :48:48. | |
from the moment we meet them. We know things can change at any point. | :48:49. | :48:53. | |
So we are always faced with the weather. We constantly look at | :48:54. | :49:02. | |
whether in case we need an air ambulance. Always on watch. He was | :49:03. | :49:11. | |
so quiet when you first came an, and now he knows he is on telly. Arthur, | :49:12. | :49:22. | |
you go for it. Without the access to doctors, the bond between mother and | :49:23. | :49:26. | |
midwife must be strong. Absolutely. For us in the beginning, coming from | :49:27. | :49:31. | |
the States, I was nervous about delivering some remotely. But | :49:32. | :49:35. | |
throughout the whole pregnancy, because everything was going so well | :49:36. | :49:39. | |
and I was getting so much support from the midwives, it felt like it | :49:40. | :49:44. | |
was the right decision. You talked about possibly calling an air | :49:45. | :49:52. | |
ambulance. Yes. If we need to get women up to Paisley quickly, it is | :49:53. | :49:55. | |
the air ambulance we would choose because it is door-to-door, 20 | :49:56. | :50:00. | |
minutes. We sometimes have to wait an hour for the flight to come in, | :50:01. | :50:06. | |
whereas if it is road ambulance, it can be three and a half hours, | :50:07. | :50:13. | |
depending on traffic and other things. It is not the best of roads | :50:14. | :50:17. | |
and an ambulance is not the most pleasant of journeys. So you would | :50:18. | :50:26. | |
go with them? Sometimes we do. Again, risk assessment is the | :50:27. | :50:31. | |
keyword. If a woman can go alone, we will send them. There are only a few | :50:32. | :50:37. | |
of us in the town, so if a midwife goes out of the area, we could be | :50:38. | :50:42. | |
short. Oh, Arthur! How do you feel about it? I suppose as well as that | :50:43. | :50:56. | |
tight bond, there must be midwives who have been involved in families | :50:57. | :51:02. | |
for generations. That's right. One of our midwives, Elspeth, recently | :51:03. | :51:07. | |
retired. She was involved in the delivery of a baby as well as the | :51:08. | :51:16. | |
delivery of the baby's dad. You don't get that in many places. It | :51:17. | :51:23. | |
can feel isolating at times. You wish your mum or your sister was | :51:24. | :51:27. | |
there to help out. But for such a small area, there is a lot going on. | :51:28. | :51:32. | |
There are a lot of mums' groups and things to do, and there is always a | :51:33. | :51:39. | |
nice walk on the beach. I take it the full Scotland kit that Arthur is | :51:40. | :51:44. | |
in today... He is in his away jersey. Do you have an American one? | :51:45. | :51:50. | |
He was in his American flag outfit for Independence Day yesterday. So | :51:51. | :51:54. | |
the midwives are in charge. Is there a doctor as well? We have | :51:55. | :52:01. | |
consultants at the end of a phone. We can phone 24 hours a day and get | :52:02. | :52:06. | |
advice from the consultant unit in Paisley or the Queen Elizabeth in | :52:07. | :52:11. | |
Glasgow. The journey sounds challenging, but I understand that | :52:12. | :52:16. | |
on much part of it, there is no mobile phone signal. So when you are | :52:17. | :52:20. | |
on that journey, you are under pressure. Yeah, I didn't realise | :52:21. | :52:25. | |
that the time, but my husband thought we had made the wrong | :52:26. | :52:29. | |
decision when there was no reception for about an hour of the journey. He | :52:30. | :52:33. | |
just thought, gosh, where do we go from here? I am with you might | :52:34. | :52:40. | |
Arthur, who needs socks?! But it was all right in the end. No need for | :52:41. | :52:45. | |
your husband to panic. Arthur, one of your shoes is over here. I was | :52:46. | :52:53. | |
not trying to steal it. You have spread yourself far and wide this | :52:54. | :52:54. | |
morning. The Highland Midwife | :52:55. | :52:56. | |
is on Channel 5 tonight at 8pm. Let's go back to Wimbledon, with | :52:57. | :53:13. | |
Carol and Rufus the hawk. Yes, what a treat. And Imogen Davis. | :53:14. | :53:20. | |
Delightful to see you, as it is to see Rufus. You're such a good boy. | :53:21. | :53:28. | |
Rufus is ten years old. Yes, he has got used to it now. So he is a bit | :53:29. | :53:34. | |
of an institution. What kind of routine does he have? We start here | :53:35. | :53:37. | |
at five o'clock every morning during the championship, nice and early | :53:38. | :53:41. | |
like yourselves. He patrolled the skies to check that there are none | :53:42. | :53:45. | |
who will be chanting it to cause any disruption during the play. The | :53:46. | :53:49. | |
pigeons like to eat the grass seed, so Rufus is here to protect. Can I | :53:50. | :54:02. | |
hold him? Absolutely. You are a pro. Hold your arm out like a tree | :54:03. | :54:09. | |
branch. Perfect. I have been called many things, but not a tree branch. | :54:10. | :54:14. | |
Isn't he handsome? What kind of diet does he have? He is like an athlete. | :54:15. | :54:19. | |
He exercises daily and eats chicken and quail and anything high-protein, | :54:20. | :54:23. | |
sometimes some rabbit and the odd pigeon now and then. We see him | :54:24. | :54:27. | |
every morning, buddy you stay for much of the day? We do try and see | :54:28. | :54:32. | |
some of the tennis. Rufus gets a great spot up there, but we | :54:33. | :54:36. | |
generally keep him out of the way by the time the public come in, because | :54:37. | :54:39. | |
it gets busy and it is hard for him to pick me out in a crowd. And is he | :54:40. | :54:46. | |
working alone? He has a couple of apprentices, but he is the chief | :54:47. | :54:50. | |
pigeons carer. So how do you go about training a Harris Hawk? It is | :54:51. | :54:55. | |
an intensive training process and can be nerve-racking when you are | :54:56. | :54:58. | |
building up a relationship with them and feeding them bits of food daily. | :54:59. | :55:05. | |
Then when you are ready to try them and you feel like you trust each | :55:06. | :55:09. | |
other, you let them fly free. Ultimately, they could go off and | :55:10. | :55:12. | |
survive on their own, but when you have put all that hard work in, you | :55:13. | :55:16. | |
don't want them to disappear. He must be like a family member. | :55:17. | :55:20. | |
Talking of flying free, I need to let you go. We will see you later. | :55:21. | :55:33. | |
It's been a pleasure. Off you go! What a gorgeous hawk. The weather in | :55:34. | :55:38. | |
Wimbledon is beautiful is, 20 Celsius at the moment and a lot of | :55:39. | :55:41. | |
sunshine and temperatures are set to rise. | :55:42. | :55:45. | |
The forecast for Wimbledon is dry. If you are outdoors today, it is | :55:46. | :55:55. | |
worth slipping, slapping and slopping on your T-shirt, hat and | :55:56. | :55:58. | |
sun cream. The next few days, it is going to be warm and humid across | :55:59. | :56:02. | |
the board. Hot if you are further south. In the south of England this | :56:03. | :56:08. | |
morning, there is a lot of sunshine around. Temperatures are rising very | :56:09. | :56:14. | |
quickly in the sunshine. Further north, the cloud is building. Here | :56:15. | :56:18. | |
we have a weak weather front, which is producing patchy rain across | :56:19. | :56:23. | |
parts of north-east England. That cloud also extends into southern | :56:24. | :56:28. | |
Scotland. The northern Scotland, sunshine first thing. It is chilly. | :56:29. | :56:32. | |
Northern Ireland is off to a sunny start and you will hang onto that | :56:33. | :56:36. | |
sunshine to most of the day. North Wales is seeing more cloud. | :56:37. | :56:42. | |
South-west England is in the sunshine. There is the outside | :56:43. | :56:46. | |
chance of a shower, no more than that. It could be thundery, though. | :56:47. | :56:52. | |
As we drift from Gloucestershire towards the Home Counties, it is dry | :56:53. | :56:58. | |
and sunny and the temperatures continue to rise. The cloud will | :56:59. | :57:09. | |
break up through the day. But where it hangs on across north-east | :57:10. | :57:14. | |
England, temperatures will be held back. Temperatures in Northern | :57:15. | :57:21. | |
Ireland and Scotland are around 18 to 20 today. For England and Wales, | :57:22. | :57:26. | |
we are looking at the mid to high 20s and up to 30 in the south-east. | :57:27. | :57:32. | |
Overnight, we are looking at all those thunderstorms coming across | :57:33. | :57:35. | |
the English Channel into southern counties. We also have a new weather | :57:36. | :57:41. | |
front across western Scotland and Northern Ireland, introducing some | :57:42. | :57:46. | |
rain. It is going to be muggy in the South. Fresher elsewhere. Tomorrow, | :57:47. | :57:50. | |
the rain across Northern Ireland and Scotland rattle through quickly. | :57:51. | :57:53. | |
Then another weather front comes into the West later. Some of the | :57:54. | :58:02. | |
showers will be torrential, but some of us will miss them all together | :58:03. | :58:06. | |
and we will have a dry colour sunny and humid day. As we head into | :58:07. | :58:13. | |
Friday, the potential for thunderstorms diminishes. Most of us | :58:14. | :58:17. | |
will have a dry day. If you showers across the north-east of England. By | :58:18. | :58:22. | |
the end of the day, another one and weather front comes across Northern | :58:23. | :58:24. | |
Ireland. Feeling more comfortable except for the South, where it will | :58:25. | :58:28. | |
still be quite warm and humid. How cool was Rufus? I am a bit | :58:29. | :58:41. | |
frightened of Rufus. You were so brave. He is as timid as a wee | :58:42. | :58:46. | |
mouse. Steinegger remember that time he had to land on my hand? I was not | :58:47. | :58:51. | |
brave. You did brilliantly. He obviously loves you. Anyone who was | :58:52. | :58:56. | |
watching yesterday will have seen Carol and I have a game at game, | :58:57. | :59:03. | |
set, mugger. You were rubbish. I was terrible. We have been getting | :59:04. | :59:06. | |
tennis players to have a go at seeing how many balls they can get | :59:07. | :59:11. | |
into our British mug in 30 seconds. Andy Murray and Jo Konta have tried. | :59:12. | :59:15. | |
We thought we would ask Milos Raonic. He is going to be good, | :59:16. | :59:16. | |
right? Thanks for taking part in our Game, | :59:17. | :59:19. | |
Set, Mug Challenge. You have 30 seconds to get as many | :59:20. | :59:24. | |
balls in as possible. And some, you know, I probably feel | :59:25. | :59:27. | |
more comfortable in also. I've got the timer here ready, | :59:28. | :59:38. | |
get a ball in your hand, OK, Milos is going for the quick | :59:39. | :59:42. | |
succession approach. Extreme concentration | :59:43. | :59:48. | |
on the face there. You must have hit at | :59:49. | :59:49. | |
least 20 balls already. He's smiling, he's | :59:50. | :00:02. | |
getting relaxed now. Put some more in at the end, | :00:03. | :00:05. | |
I've not been able to count any. The mug is actually quite deep, | :00:06. | :00:14. | |
you may be able to reach it Would you like to count | :00:15. | :00:23. | |
them out for me? It's not a big challenge | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
to count this high. There were so many you really | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
couldn't see, like, in the really Are you feeling like you acquitted | :00:30. | :00:36. | |
yourself well, are you happy I feel like if I knew about it | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
I would have prepared better. A good point, thank | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
you so much for taking part. Milos Raonic managed four. Let's | :00:46. | :01:03. | |
have a look at the leaderboard. Who did the best job? Andy Murray. Of | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
course he did. He only got 14 in 30 seconds. That's really good! | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
LAUGHTER You've been paying attention! Milos Raonic in second | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
place at the moment with four. Really good sports, really brave of | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
them to have a go because they don't practice, they just do it. When you | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
look at your two that's not bad! Banks! Maybe you'll do it tomorrow! | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
STUDIO: Some things are best to pass on, aren't they Carol! LAUGHTER | :01:38. | :01:45. | |
Carol would smash it! He coming back so we can have a go? That's a good | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
point. You can watch live coverage | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
of Wimbledon from 11.30 on BBC One and hear commentary from 12.30 | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
on BBC Radio 5 Live. You can also watch all the coverage | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
from 15 courts on connected TV, Would you like to explain what a | :01:58. | :02:11. | |
connected TV is? It's a TV that's connected to the internet either by | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
an ethernet cable or wi-fi. Most TVs are connected these days. Can I just | :02:17. | :02:28. | |
say, it smells of Spam in here! I am a convert to Spam! There are 13 | :02:29. | :02:38. | |
flavours of Spam by the way! Happy birthday Spam. For ten years | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
interest rates haven't gone up. It's ten years to the day | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
since interest rates last went up. Not great news for savers. They've | :02:46. | :02:55. | |
seen rubbish returns on their savings in the bank but it's given | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
the economy a bit of a kick-start. The cost of borrowing | :02:58. | :03:06. | |
affects us all. It determines what we pay | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
for our mortgage, how credit It also sets the way that we get | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
interest on any savings. Take a look at the last ten years | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
and one thing is pretty clear, rates have been going in one | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
direction and that's down, and it all began at the height | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
of the financial crisis. The UK economy was put on emergency | :03:21. | :03:28. | |
life support to keep it ticking over while the world's financial | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
system was in turmoil. Between 2008 and 2009, | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
rates were slashed from nearly 6% to just 0.5%, and they've been | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
at those record lows Just when people thought rates might | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
start going up again, the Brexit vote created even more | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
economic uncertainty, and so rates were | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
slashed again in August Low interest rates mean it's cheaper | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
for businesses to borrow money to invest or expand, | :03:52. | :04:04. | |
and it also means cheaper mortgages, loans and credit | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
cards for all of us. Well, it's bad news for savers, | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
they've lost from record low returns and low interest rates tend | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
to push up inflation, so that means higher | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
prices for everyone. So some win, some lose. That's | :04:21. | :04:36. | |
always the issue. Favours have really struggled. Now there's talk | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
that perhaps rates could start going up. In America they've started | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
rising. Until the economy gets back on an even keel, many think it's too | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
soon to start raising the rate. Inflation is rising which means shop | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
are going up too. The Bank of England has got to work out when is | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
the time to raise rates, when is the time to bring the economy off life | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
support. Give be too soon and it could hit economic growth, too late | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
and inflation could be soaring. Thank you and sorry about the smell | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
of Spam! I've got it in the mouth for the day I think! | :05:16. | :05:23. | |
In a few minutes will be speaking to the man who published his diaries. | :05:24. | :05:32. | |
First day last brief look at Welcome back. For many of us diary | :05:33. | :07:25. | |
is a precious memory and secret thoughts. The idea of anyone else | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
reading those scribbles is the stuff of nightmare! That is what the | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
author and humourist David said RSS is letting us do. He's kept a diary | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
for over 40 years and has published it for the first time -- David | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
Sedaris. The thought of somebody taking your | :07:45. | :07:52. | |
diary and publishing it, it's excruciating but this is what you've | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
chosen to do. This is selections from my diary that I chose. If | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
someone actually found my diary and read it I would die on the spot. | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
Would you? I wasn't afraid to keep things that made me look bad. I | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
don't write about my feelings, so it wasn't that embarrassing. I tend to | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
write about things I see or overhear. So there wasn't that much | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
to be ashamed of. You kept it for so many years. You must have gone back | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
and read what he had written decades ago. Did any of that surprise you, | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
have you changed your mind about things? There were things I told | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
myself for years were somebody else's faults. Then I would read the | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
diaries and think, that was completely might fault. Then I was | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
distressed. I haven't changed any. I thought I had but I haven't really. | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
My news resolution is the same every year, it doesn't change. That's how | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
you know you haven't changed that much. Do you still write every | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
single day in your diary? Yes, I get up every morning and write my diary. | :09:00. | :09:07. | |
How long does it take? Like an hour, maybe. It doesn't matter if anything | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
happened or not. If nothing happened just make something out of nothing. | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
What was today's entry? I keep a notebook with me and all day things | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
happen and I write them down. You know Park or -- parkour? I saw that | :09:25. | :09:35. | |
for the first time. I saw these young people jumping. I completely | :09:36. | :09:42. | |
support it, I think it's fantastic. It's fantastic to watch, isn't it? | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
Yes, because somebody could die! LAUGHTER It always goes dark with | :09:48. | :09:54. | |
you! I met somebody last night and she was Italian but she was from the | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
part bitterly that borders Slovenia and she speaks of dialect. Her last | :10:00. | :10:06. | |
name translates to wooden mask of a witch. That's a proper surname! The | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
book is called Theft By Finding. That was a comment someone made to | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
you, wasn't it? I was picking up rubbish on the side of the road and | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
I found a ?5 note. She asked if I kept it and I said of course. She | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
said, that is left by finding. It seemed like a good name for the book | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
because my diary is basically things I found or overheard, things that | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
were told to me. This woman told me a story, for example, a couple of | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
days ago. She wanted me to sign a book to her goddaughter and she told | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
me when her goddaughter was a baby the family convinced her that as | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
long as she was naked she was invisible. They have all this | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
footage of her marching into the kitchen at bedtime and opening the | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
refrigerator and getting Coca-Cola, completely naked. They would | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
continue to talk as if she wasn't there to convince her. LAUGHTER Very | :11:03. | :11:11. | |
unfair! I want to show a picture to our viewers. You picked up rubbish | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
from your side -- from the side of the street. Horsham District Council | :11:19. | :11:27. | |
have named a bin lorry after you. It was the biggest honour of my life to | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
have a garbage truck named after me. They didn't have to do that. I've | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
picked up tonnes and tonnes of garbage on the side of the road | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
where I live. Why? It's my hobby. It is quite a strange hobby. But it's a | :11:43. | :11:50. | |
good one. Depending on the time of the year I spent between four and | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
eight hours a day. Are you discerning, do you pick up all | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
rubbish? I have to pick it up. Some of the things I find are pretty | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
disgusting but I have special supplies for when I come across | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
those. Generally speaking it is the same, you know, Lucozade bottle, Red | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
Bull cans, the same things over and over. Not long ago I found a sex gag | :12:14. | :12:21. | |
and a pile of spanking magazines. LAUGHTER Probably a bit much for our | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
breakfast viewers! Have you got 25 second excerpt you can read for us | :12:27. | :12:36. | |
as we move swiftly on! July the 7th 1995, New York. Someone stopped | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
Mitch on the street last night and said I need another 75 cents so I | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
can buy a cheeseburger. Mitch said, get it without the cheese and | :12:46. | :12:55. | |
continued walking. In February the 12th 1996, New York. According to an | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
article I read this morning, scouting was invented to rescue boys | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
from the clutches of their mothers and schoolteachers. The fear was | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
that they turn out gay or deviant as they said back then. Parents were | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
advised to be on the lookout for boys who willingly took baths and | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
kept diaries. Guilty. And guilty again. It's lovely to meet you, | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
thank you. I'm going to make sure you don't have to clean-up up here. | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
David's book is called Theft By Finding. | :13:28. | :13:29. | |
That's it for today, but Naga and Charlie will be | :13:30. | :13:31. | |
They'll be joined by the actress Jane Horrocks. | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
We're going to leave you with this lovely shot of the Wimbledon Centre | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
Court which is looking spectacular and ready for a day of tennis. Enjoy | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
the coverage. See you next week. 11 million people are living | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
in private rentals. | :13:46. | :14:00. |
