Hello, this is Breakfast, with Naga Munchetty and Charlie | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
One year on, the Chairman of the Iraq Inquiry tells the BBC | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
that Tony Blair has "failed to be straight with the nation." | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
In his first interview, Sir John Chilcot, says the evidence | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
the former Prime Minister gave was 'emotionally truthful', | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
but suggested that he relied on his own belief rather | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
Any Prime Minister taking the country into war has got to be | :00:25. | :00:38. | |
straight with the nation and carried so far as possible with him or her. | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
I don't believe that was the case in the Iraqi instance. | :00:44. | :00:51. | |
Good morning, it's Thursday sixth July. | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
A quarter of care homes in England are not safe enough - | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
that's the verdict of a damning report by inspectors. | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
America's ambassador to the UN condemns North Korea's missile | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
Business leaders are gathering just down the road from here to talk | :01:07. | :01:14. | |
about how to create the business leaders of tomorrow. | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
I'm amongst teams who have been taking part in a competition to set | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
up and run their own business from scratch. | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
In sport, on a great day for the home crowds | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
Johanna Konta reaches the third round for the first time, | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
as Watson, Bedene and Murray make it four British players through. | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
We step back to 1967 to look at a slice of Wimbledon history - | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
50 years ago, the first colour TV transmission was broadcast. | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
We speak exclusively to the man who made it happen. | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
The skies were throbbing ultramarine. The green was very | :01:56. | :02:03. | |
saturated, and rolled, it was awful. But that was what we wanted. We want | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
colour! A lot of it! We do not expect too many | :02:07. | :02:15. | |
disruptions at Wimbledon here today. Some early showers that should pull | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
away. It can completely rule out the risk of a thunderstorm but there | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
will be a lot of dry weather. For the UK as a whole, rein in Scotland, | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
dry Northern Ireland, heavy downpours across the north of | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
England labour. We will have more later. | :02:33. | :02:45. | |
Tony Blair has not been straight with the nation according to Sir | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
John Chilcot. Speaking to the first time since the publication of the | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
report one year ago, Sir John Chilcot tells the BBC why he thought | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
Tony Blair made the decisions he did. Our correspondent is in | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
Westminster for us this morning. Firstly, can you reminders of the | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
context of that highly charged enquiry? Remember it was back in | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
2009 when Gordon Brown ordered the enquiry into what, by then, had | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
become a very controversial war in Iraq. The idea was enquiry was to | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
learn the lessons of Iraq, it was meant to look into the decision to | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
go to war, whether the troops were prepared, how the conflict was | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
conducted and the planning for the aftermath. Seven years later, last | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
summer, we got the conclusion of the enquiry chaired by Sir John Chilcot. | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
There were damning conclusions including that the UK chose to join | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
the invasion of Iraq before all peaceful options for disarmament had | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
been exhausted. It was no imminent threat from Saddam Hussein at the | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
time and the policy was made on the Asus of flawed intelligence | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
assessment. Quite clear there from Sir John Chilcot last summer. Now he | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
has spoken for the first time to our political editor the, addressing one | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
of the most important issues, the role of the former Prime Minister. | :04:17. | :04:17. | |
Do you feel that the politicians you dealt with were as straight | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
I have to name names, here, because these | :04:22. | :04:31. | |
Tony Blair is always and ever an advocate. | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
He makes the most persuasive case he can, not departing | :04:36. | :04:37. | |
from the truth, but persuasion is everything. | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
Advocacy for my position, my Blair position. | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
Do believe he was a straight with you in the public as he ought | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
Can I slightly reword that to say that I | :04:49. | :05:00. | |
think any Prime Minister taking a country into war needs to be | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
as straight with the nation and carry | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
it as far as possible with him or her. | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
I don't believe that was the case in the Iraq instance. | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
You think he gave the fullest version of events? | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
I think he gave, from his perspective and standpoint, | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
And I think that came out in his press | :05:21. | :05:30. | |
conference after the launch statement. | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
I think he was under really great emotional pressure | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
during those sessions, far more than the committee were. | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
In that state of mind and mood, you fall back on your instinctive | :05:43. | :05:51. | |
You are saying that he was relying on emotions, not fact? | :05:52. | :06:01. | |
These are his personal reflections, looking back at his own enquiry. The | :06:02. | :06:19. | |
report did not click accused Tony Blair of any intention to deceive, | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
any liars and a spokesperson for Tony Blair has referred as to the | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
comments Mr Blair made at the time, the time Sir John Chilcot reference | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
that, at the lengthy press conference when he accepted that the | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
intelligence was wrong and planning had been poor but he insisted he had | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
acted in good faith. There were no lies and no intention to deceive and | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
he saw what he did at the time was right. | :06:49. | :06:48. | |
We'll be speaking one British Army General who gave | :06:49. | :06:50. | |
evidence at the Chilcot Inquiry at ten past seven. | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
A quarter of adult care services in England are not safe enough, | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
A report by the Care Quality Commission says most care homes, | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
nursing homes and home care services are good, | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
Among the issues raised by the care regulator are people not getting | :07:05. | :07:12. | |
enough to eat and drink, and not being given the right medication. | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
Our social affairs correspondent Alison Holt has more. | :07:17. | :07:27. | |
Can you open your eyes, just a little? This woman carefully gives | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
him at the lunch. The front room of their Birmingham home has become | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
Betty's bedroom. They want her close by after discovering the sort of | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
poor care highlighted in the report today. Betty, who has heart problems | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
and dementia is in a nursing home. The family had concerns so they put | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
in a secret camera. It showed a care worker pushing Betty's chair sharply | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
towards the desk. Then when Bedi objects to her top being changed, he | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
had back into the chair. No, I don't want to! Last February in court the | :08:04. | :08:11. | |
care worker accepted that her actions were reckless rather than | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
intentional. She was given a 12 month community order. Query | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
everything. Do not let them distance you because they did with us for | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
about eight months and I wish we would have, you know, pursued it a | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
lot quicker than we did, then Mum probably would not have suffered the | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
way she did. The report by inspectors today says most care in | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
England is good or outstanding. Even so, 25% of all services failed on | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
safety. 37% of nursing homes were not safe enough. Also, when ring | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
inspected, quality of care and some good homes had deteriorated. What | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
we're seeing in these services that are deteriorating is how fragile and | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
precarious quality adult social care is and that is the reason why we | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
really have to make sure that everybody understands quality | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
matters, providers have got to focus on that and commissioners and | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
funders have got to make sure that funding is available to ensure that | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
people get the quality of care they deserve. The government says the | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
poor care experienced by some families is completely unacceptable. | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
As well is putting in more money it will be consulting on how to place | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
social care on a more secure footing for the future. | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
The US Ambassador to the United Nations has described | :09:34. | :09:35. | |
North Korea's latest missile test as 'a clear and sharp military | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
It has been confirmed that the intercontinental ballistic | :09:39. | :09:46. | |
missile fired by North Korea for the first time could | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
have a range of more than 3,000 miles - | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
On the coast of South Korea, a barrage of missiles is fired | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
Commanders said the tests indicate what could happen if the US loses | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
A show of force, backed up by strong words at the UN Security Council. | :10:05. | :10:13. | |
Yesterday's actions by North Korea made the world a more dangerous | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
-- Their illegal missile launch was not only dangerous, | :10:17. | :10:32. | |
Experts believe the country's ICBMs could carry warheads | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
Reaction has been divided. China's president in Germany has called for | :10:37. | :10:51. | |
restraint. Russia has warned against any pre-emptive military action. As | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
the US considers what to do next, President Trump has arrived in | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
Poland ahead of the G20 summit in German many. -- Germany. A united | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
response looks likely. -- unlikely. A task force is to be sent | :11:06. | :11:15. | |
in to help run Kensington and Chelsea Council in the wake | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
of the fire which destroyed Grenfell It will take over the running of key | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
services, after their response to the disaster was | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
heavily criticised. Most of the families who lost their | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
homes in the fire is still living in hotels despite government pledges to | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
rehouse them by yesterday. We will do absolutely everything we can as a | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
council to help our community and to help our community heal. And you | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
don't think the council should be taken over? The council is not being | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
taken over. We have asked people to come because we need more help. | :11:52. | :11:53. | |
Amnesty International has accused the European Union of deliberately | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
turning its back on migrants and refugees. | :11:57. | :11:58. | |
The human rights group claims that making deals with Libya put | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
thousands of people at risk of drowning and torture. | :12:02. | :12:03. | |
A new EU action plan aims to help the Libyan coastguard stop migrants | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
from crossing to Italy - but Amnesty says it will only make | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
the crisis worse by leaving people trapped and exposed to abuse. | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
We've all heard of cats getting stuck up trees, | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
but now they've found a new way to risk their nine lives - | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
The RSPCA says they've been so busy they've been called out to almost | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
This one, Albus, got stuck in a four inch gap, | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
which firefighters had to free him from. | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
He could get in, but he could not get out. | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
kitten, Lola, when she got wedged eight feet up a chimney. | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
This gorgeous kitten was rescued from a 20 foot tree by a firefighter | :12:49. | :12:58. | |
who found him huddled inside a pigeon nest, | :12:59. | :13:00. | |
I had a cat who used to get stuck in a tree every week. He was scared of | :13:01. | :13:14. | |
heights. What happened if the cat did not come down? I would have to | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
ask people to help me get up a ladder to bring the cat down because | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
I was not tall enough. The cat was probably an attention seeker. There | :13:24. | :13:30. | |
was a sad ending to that. He could not get down. He was genuinely | :13:31. | :13:32. | |
scared of heights. Here we are having a look at the | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
front pages for you. The main story here is Kim Jong-un, obviously in | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
connection with the ballistic missile test and more on that story | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
throughout the morning. The latest story here is about Volvo saying | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
that engines are changing radically and they will be abandoning diesel | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
and petrol only vehicles in favour of some form of electric engines in | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
all of their cars. That is from 2019. One story we're covering here | :14:03. | :14:09. | |
On Breakfast Is that one quarter of care homes are not meeting the | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
safety standards required. The Care Quality Commission has released a | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
report saying 2% are inadequate, 23% don't meet safety regulations. The | :14:21. | :14:30. | |
picture there is true Wilfred -- Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, trying to keep | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
his cool amidst all the flying ants descending on Wimbledon. Not a | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
pleasant condition. I think we will see some of those shots surely when | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
we go down to Wimbledon. The Daily Mail also enjoying the British | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
successor Wimbledon. Four British people in the third round, first | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
time for decades. Also, the change in engines for Volvo cars. Lots of | :14:54. | :15:00. | |
Wimbledon stories on the front page. Especially with those flying ants. | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
There they are. There were some an amazing slow motion shots. You could | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
see them zipping around as the players were playing and then with | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
the amazing cameras they have now... They are causing a few problems. | :15:15. | :15:22. | |
People having to brush them off, use special lotion... Some players said | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
they had swallowed them. One day of the year, they all come out. Sally | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
is that Wimbledon for us this morning. | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
Do not mess with Sally. If you are an ant, you don't have a chance. | :15:37. | :15:45. | |
They are absolutely everywhere. Good morning, both of you. We really | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
struggled with the flying ants yesterday. It was like being in some | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
kind of tropical jungle. We have all been bitten, I don't think I the | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
ants, not by something else. It has been so humid and warm, grass | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
everywhere. A difficult time for the players, you mentioned Jo Konta had | :16:05. | :16:11. | |
swallowed a few of them. Who cares, as she had a fantastic day | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
yesterday. A brilliant match for Jo Konta, and as you mentioned, that | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
fantastic statistic, four Brits through for the first time in many | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
years. The finest effort for women in 31 years. There was a lovely | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
moment yesterday for Jo Konta, and I think she knows it, when the crowd | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
absolutely backed her so much. She felt the love of the Wimbledon | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
crowd, I think possibly for the first time. She has not always had | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
an easy time at Wimbledon, so I think that was a real turning point | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
for her. The back page of the Mirror talking about Wayne Rooney. Calling | :16:52. | :17:01. | |
for Lukaku to replace Wayne Rooney. And a really sad thing that we saw | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
yesterday. Here we go in the Daily Mail, they have a picture of | :17:07. | :17:15. | |
Kvitova, who was treated on court yesterday. The doctor came on the | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
court, they were checking her heart and blood pressure, she said I feel | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
like a slow, sick animal. She is not going to play any further part in | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
Wimbledon, so a really sad end to what could have been an incredible | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
Wimbledon fairytale. Our headline today is that wonderful fact, four | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
Brits through to the third round for the first time in 20 years. It is | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
feeling, I am quite glad to say, a tiny bit cooler than it was | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
yesterday. Carol can explain why and whether or not I am right. Well, as | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
ever, we always have this debate about how cold it is. At the moment | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
it is about 18 or 19 Celsius, which is not very cool at all. You need to | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
have a hot cup of tea, or something. Many parts of the UK are starting | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
off in double figures, so not a particularly cold start, what today | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
we are looking at some thunderstorms. If we have a look at | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
the forecast for Wimbledon, the forecast, as you can see on the | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
charts, looks like it will be dry and sunny, and there will be dry and | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
sunny weather around. Into the early afternoon we are at risk of some | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
showers. At risk then diminishes, but we can't completely rule out a | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
thunderstorm as we head into the afternoon. It will be hot and humid | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
again, temperatures upto 30 Celsius. For most of the UK it is going to be | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
a warm day, and we are looking at is thunderstorms developing. We even | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
have a few this morning across some southern areas. But these are the | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
precursors to later on. As we move northwards, northern England seeing | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
some showers, there could be thundery, again a precursor to | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
later. Scotland seeing rain moving from the west, heading up towards | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
the north-east, and a few showers for Northern Ireland this morning | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
but a lot of dry weather as well. As we head into Wales, a lot of dry | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
weather, variable amounts of cloud, some sunshine. Some sunshine across | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
south-west England. Temperatures already in double figures and | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
continuing to climb, but for parts of the coast of south-west England, | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
that cloud will peg back the temperatures. As we had further | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
east, a lot of dry weather, some sunshine, but the risk of a few | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
showers, which could be thundery. As temperatures rise, we will see the | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
atmosphere really go bang in places like East Wales, the Midlands, and | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
northern England, which are the prone areas for the torrential | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
downpours. They will be hit and miss, not all of us will see them, | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
but if you do see one you will know all about it. We could see a few | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
further south as well. In Scotland, the rain moves northwards and some | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
heavy showers will follow on behind. It should stay dry in Northern | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
Ireland. As we head through the evening and overnight we carry on | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
with those thunderstorms for a time before they push up into the North | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
Sea and another weather front comes in across the west of Scotland, | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
introducing some rain. In between, a lot of dry weather with a | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
temperature range between ten and 18 Celsius, so still quite sticky in | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
the south. Tomorrow, we will have a lot of dry weather to start the day | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
but the weather front in the west of Scotland continues to drift steadily | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
south eastwards, taking its cloud with it in the rain turning more | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
showery in nature. Fresher conditions for many of us, not as | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
hot in the areas which are going to be hot, except in the south-east, | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
where temperatures will be dry. That leads us into Saturday. We start off | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
the day across pots of Wales, the Midlands, and parts of northern | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
England with some rain. That increasingly turning showery as we | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
go through the course of the day, and once again there will be a lot | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
of dry weather around. It is still the south-east that hangs on to the | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
highest temperatures. For the rest of us we are in the high teens or | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
the low 20s. So still a few days in the south in particular for that hot | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
and humid weather to continue. Thank you very much, we will get much more | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
from Carol and Sally from Wimbledon later in the morning. | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
You have a bit of a gathering behind leaders of tomorrow? | :21:07. | :21:19. | |
You have a bit of a gathering behind you. Organised chaos, as they get | :21:20. | :21:25. | |
ready for their final presentations. This is the final for the young | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
enterprise scheme. It has been whittled down to 14 teams, and some | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
of them are with me today. This is ten Colombia. Tell us what you have | :21:34. | :21:42. | |
got here -- team Colombia. It is a small team and pretty hi-tech. It is | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
an augmented reality children's book. By downloading our free app, | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
you can point that the book and things come to life on the screen. | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
And then that is interactive, so people can play with it. Yes, so if | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
you go to the earth, you can spin the earth and play around with that. | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
There is even a colouring game, so if you click on that you can colour | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
in the parrot different colours. And where did you come up with this | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
idea, and the technology? So we programmed at all from scratch in a | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
game engine called Unity. We made all the engines ourselves and | :22:23. | :22:24. | |
programmed all interactivity ourselves, and stuff like that. | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
Congratulations, and good luck later. I know you have to present | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
this to the bosses. Let me introduce you to many. Tell me about the book | :22:35. | :22:42. | |
on how you came up with it. This is Leon's cooking adventure -- Maddy. | :22:43. | :22:50. | |
It integrates a storybook and a cook look into one, so as you can see we | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
have the story, and then the recipes, and another element is we | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
want to integrate technology into children's lives in a positive way, | :23:00. | :23:06. | |
so we have QR codes which take us to our YouTube channel, and tutorials | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
on how to make the video. So it is all about technology. Showing it in | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
a positive way, and obviously the more traditional element is the | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
recipes and stuff like that, and it helps to get parents and kids back | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
together, because obviously they spend a lot of time on iPads, but it | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
reconnects is our aim. I definitely think perseverance is the key. | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
Especially with making a book, we wanted to be something unique. It | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
was a little bit of a struggle coming up at that initial idea, but | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
we have been strong as a team, and hopefully good enough. I will catch | :23:43. | :23:49. | |
up with you later. I want to introduce someone in an amazing bee | :23:50. | :23:57. | |
costume. Our book targets dangerous animals, we wrote a book targeting | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
endangered animals and improving literacy in Scotland in young | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
children. So tell me about the book, and I have found someone who is as | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
tall as me! Tell me about the book. It is about coming up with the idea, | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
but also you have learnt quite a lot of lessons about how to run a | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
business, some good and some bad. Yes, teamwork was really our main | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
thing for us. We found it really challenging. We had a lot of the | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
members at the start and we came down to our core team and found we | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
really came together, and worked together. So the biggest lesson, | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
that you have to fire people sometimes. Yes, if they are not | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
doing anything that has to be done, we were so much more productive | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
after we lost some deadweight, almost! Thanks so much, nice to see | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
you. Let me introduce you to Sharon, who is the possible of this. We are | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
hearing some stories about how they come up with the idea and run those | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
businesses, and they are really valuable life lessons, aren't they? | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
Getting the right skills for business is such a challenge. Yes, | :25:02. | :25:09. | |
and an appetite to learn is key to staying employable. And they are | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
learning what works, what doesn't work. So the key traits of purser | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
perseverance, and the ability of to learn from what doesn't work. 94% of | :25:20. | :25:26. | |
people who take part in this programme go on to further education | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
and training, versus 87% of the national average, so this is so | :25:32. | :25:34. | |
important in making people employable. Really good to talk to | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
you, and we will catch up with your little later. That is a taste of | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
what is going on. We will meet some of the other entrants, the 14 teams | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
in the finals, a little later. Stay tuned for that and we will have more | :25:47. | :25:53. | |
of that later. Thank you very much, rather impressive young people. I | :25:54. | :26:00. | |
was never like that, were you? No. Were you good at maths at school? | :26:01. | :26:03. | |
Not my speciality. Still to come this morning: Tim | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
is with some maths-mad pupils, to find out the secret to becoming | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
a whizz at your times tables. Good morning to you from parklands | :26:13. | :26:19. | |
School, in Leeds, which is one of more than 100 which took part | :26:20. | :26:22. | |
yesterday in an extraordinary event celebrating times tables. Later on | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
we will see what happened. At the school they love times tables. Check | :26:29. | :26:36. | |
this out. Six eight. We will be finding out the secret to | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
successfully learning your time is tables. Why do they matter? Why do | :26:41. | :30:05. | |
Now, though, it is back to Charlie and Naga. | :30:06. | :30:08. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast with Naga Munchetty and Charlie | :30:09. | :30:16. | |
We'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, | :30:17. | :30:19. | |
but also on Breakfast this morning: Find out what happened | :30:20. | :30:22. | |
when Andy Murray challenged Charlie to take his place at the top | :30:23. | :30:25. | |
of the leaderboard in our 'Game Set Mug' Challenge. | :30:26. | :30:28. | |
David Attenborough's been telling us how his personal ambition, | :30:29. | :30:30. | |
and a race against Germany, made sure the BBC was the first | :30:31. | :30:33. | |
Ab Fab star Jane Horrocks will be here here to tell us how a chance | :30:34. | :30:40. | |
discovery about her ancestors on 'Who Do You Think You Are' | :30:41. | :30:43. | |
inspired her new drama about the Lancashire Cotton Famine. | :30:44. | :30:47. | |
But now a summary of this morning's main news. | :30:48. | :30:51. | |
The Chairman of the Iraq Inquiry, Sir John Chilcot, has told the BBC | :30:52. | :30:55. | |
that the former Prime Minister, Tony Blair, was not "straight | :30:56. | :30:58. | |
with the nation", or his inquiry, about the decisions made | :30:59. | :31:00. | |
Speaking for the first time since the publication of his report | :31:01. | :31:06. | |
a year ago today, Sir John tells the BBC why he thinks Mr Blair made | :31:07. | :31:10. | |
the decisions he did, and about Mr Blair's state of mind | :31:11. | :31:13. | |
Do you believe that Tony Blair was the street with you in the public as | :31:14. | :31:31. | |
he ought to have been? -- as straight with you. | :31:32. | :31:34. | |
Any Prime Minister taking the country into war has got to be | :31:35. | :31:42. | |
straight with the nation and carry it so far as possible | :31:43. | :31:45. | |
I don't believe that was the case in the Iraq instance. | :31:46. | :31:49. | |
A quarter of adult care services in England are not safe enough, | :31:50. | :31:52. | |
A report by the Care Quality Commission says most care homes, | :31:53. | :31:56. | |
nursing homes and home care services are good, | :31:57. | :31:58. | |
Among the issues raised by the care regulator were people not getting | :31:59. | :32:03. | |
enough to eat and drink, and not being given the right medication. | :32:04. | :32:06. | |
The government said it would invest more money in social care. | :32:07. | :32:10. | |
The US Ambassador to the United Nations has described | :32:11. | :32:12. | |
North Korea's latest missile test as 'a clear | :32:13. | :32:14. | |
It has been confirmed that the intercontinental ballistic | :32:15. | :32:18. | |
missile fired by North Korea for the first time could | :32:19. | :32:24. | |
have a range of more than 3000 miles, meaning it could reach | :32:25. | :32:27. | |
It is a dark day because yesterday's actions by North Korea needs the | :32:28. | :32:38. | |
world a more dangerous place. There are legal missile launch was not | :32:39. | :32:42. | |
only dangerous reckless and irresponsible. It showed that North | :32:43. | :32:48. | |
Korea does not want to be part of a peaceful world. | :32:49. | :32:49. | |
The risk of attacks on UK soil by supporters of the so-called | :32:50. | :32:52. | |
Islamic State group could increase as IS continues to lose territory | :32:53. | :32:55. | |
That's the warning from the Director of Public Prosecutions following BBC | :32:56. | :32:59. | |
News research which found that over 100 people in the UK have now been | :33:00. | :33:03. | |
convicted of terror offences related to Iraq and Syria. | :33:04. | :33:06. | |
It's believed that two of the three men who carried out | :33:07. | :33:09. | |
the London Bridge attack had wanted to join IS in Syria. | :33:10. | :33:14. | |
A task force will be sent to help run Kensington and Chelsea Council, | :33:15. | :33:17. | |
in the wake of the devastating fire which destroyed Grenfell Tower | :33:18. | :33:20. | |
It will take over the running of key services, after the council's | :33:21. | :33:25. | |
response to the disaster was heavily criticised. | :33:26. | :33:27. | |
Most of the families which lost their homes in the fire | :33:28. | :33:30. | |
are still living in hotels - despite government pledges | :33:31. | :33:33. | |
We will do absolutely everything we can as a council | :33:34. | :33:38. | |
to help our community and to help our community heal. | :33:39. | :33:43. | |
And you don't think the council should be | :33:44. | :33:45. | |
We have asked people to come because we need more help. | :33:46. | :33:55. | |
Amnesty International has accused the European Union of deliberately | :33:56. | :33:57. | |
turning its back on migrants and refugees. | :33:58. | :34:04. | |
The human rights group claims that making deals with Libya put | :34:05. | :34:07. | |
thousands of people at risk of drowning and torture. | :34:08. | :34:09. | |
A new EU action-plan aims to help the Libyan coastguard stop migrants | :34:10. | :34:12. | |
from crossing to Italy - but Amnesty says it will only make | :34:13. | :34:16. | |
the crisis worse, by leaving people trapped and exposed to abuse. | :34:17. | :34:19. | |
At least 15 people are missing after widespread flooding hit parts | :34:20. | :34:22. | |
of Japan following unprecedented rainfall. | :34:23. | :34:24. | |
400,000 people have been forced from their homes after floodwaters | :34:25. | :34:27. | |
hit towns and villages on the main southern island | :34:28. | :34:30. | |
Meteorologists are warning that the weather could worsen. | :34:31. | :34:35. | |
Japanese authorities have deployed police, | :34:36. | :34:36. | |
search and rescue teams and soldiers to the region. | :34:37. | :34:47. | |
The latest on the ant situation at Wimbledon. We cross now to our | :34:48. | :34:56. | |
correspondent. In amongst a great day of action on court, rather | :34:57. | :34:59. | |
bizarre some of the goings-on, won't they? I feel like I should be | :35:00. | :35:04. | |
wearing one of those huge mosquito nets, perhaps a giant hat with a net | :35:05. | :35:09. | |
because it was mad yesterday. Touch wood it is not so bad today. If the | :35:10. | :35:17. | |
just like that? One day full of flying ants every summer. The | :35:18. | :35:24. | |
players must serve had a really tricky time out there. Joanna Conca | :35:25. | :35:29. | |
says that she is convinced she swallowed many of the Ansey is today | :35:30. | :35:33. | |
but it did not matter because she won anyway. | :35:34. | :35:33. | |
It really was a great day for home fans here, | :35:34. | :35:36. | |
for the first time in 20 years, there are four British players | :35:37. | :35:39. | |
Johanna Konta said it was great to be part of it - | :35:40. | :35:44. | |
she needed three sets - and three hours - to beat | :35:45. | :35:47. | |
Donna Vekic but she made it through to round three | :35:48. | :35:49. | |
I am looking to compete at my best every single match I got to play. I | :35:50. | :35:56. | |
have given myself another opportunity to come back here at | :35:57. | :35:59. | |
Wimbledon, play another round and I am gonna give my all in that so I'm | :36:00. | :36:03. | |
here with the intention of wanting to be a part of the events of the | :36:04. | :36:08. | |
full two weeks but as you saw out there, every single player he plays | :36:09. | :36:12. | |
a very high level on any given day there is no easy match and I'm just | :36:13. | :36:14. | |
very grateful to have another go. Heather Watson was the first | :36:15. | :36:16. | |
British player through - she beat Anastasia Sevastova | :36:17. | :36:19. | |
and faces the former world number Aljaz Bedene also reached the third | :36:20. | :36:21. | |
round for the first time in his career, beating | :36:22. | :36:26. | |
a good friend of his, And last but definitely not least, | :36:27. | :36:29. | |
Andy Murray's bid for a third title is still on course, | :36:30. | :36:35. | |
after an entertaining but comfortable win over one | :36:36. | :36:37. | |
of the game's great characters, I did well. I concentrated quite | :36:38. | :36:52. | |
well own service games, which is positive and put a lot of returns | :36:53. | :36:56. | |
back in play. I think that was very positive today. I did not give too | :36:57. | :37:04. | |
many free points on my server so it was a good start. | :37:05. | :37:06. | |
And you might remember these pictures from yesterday - | :37:07. | :37:09. | |
Jack Sock's Wimbledon towel being snatched out of the hands | :37:10. | :37:15. | |
Well, the good news is the youngster has been tracked down after a social | :37:16. | :37:29. | |
media hunt, and Jack has sent him a new towel in the post! | :37:30. | :37:37. | |
In other sport, Tammy Beaumont and Sarah Taylor both hit centuries | :37:38. | :37:42. | |
as England's cricketers moved a step closer to the semi- | :37:43. | :37:45. | |
Today, England's men take on South Africa at Lord's | :37:46. | :37:51. | |
I am confident in the squad that we have got in the side we have. Very | :37:52. | :38:05. | |
respectful that they are a strong side. We just need to be consistent | :38:06. | :38:12. | |
player well away from home. We are fully aware that we need to be our | :38:13. | :38:16. | |
best but I have the confidence in the group. | :38:17. | :38:17. | |
Chris Froome has taken the overall lead at the Tour de France. | :38:18. | :38:20. | |
He finished third on stage five to overtake Sky team-mate | :38:21. | :38:23. | |
And the British and Irish Lions have named an unchanged side | :38:24. | :38:30. | |
for their deciding test with New Zealand on Saturday. | :38:31. | :38:33. | |
It's the first time they've done that since 1993. | :38:34. | :38:36. | |
And after all of the changes and all of the talks of different types of | :38:37. | :38:45. | |
squads, it is an interesting move. Now, back to the tennis. You may | :38:46. | :38:50. | |
remember that giant BBC Breakfast market here at Wimbledon and we have | :38:51. | :38:54. | |
been challenging some of the top tennis players in the world to Game, | :38:55. | :38:58. | |
Set, Mug um to see how many balls they can get into the giant mug in | :38:59. | :39:03. | |
30 seconds. We have had Joanna Conca, Andy Murray but we thought | :39:04. | :39:06. | |
who else could we get? Which brilliant tennis player could | :39:07. | :39:11. | |
perhaps matched Andy Murray was to mark we've got Charlie! Here he is. | :39:12. | :39:18. | |
Andy Murray is watching. No pressure. You are standing close to | :39:19. | :39:24. | |
me when I was doing it. You are trying to put extra pressure on. I | :39:25. | :39:30. | |
was just asking questions. This is, this was your technique, right? OK, | :39:31. | :39:38. | |
we have a timer. I will give you a free, too, one go. How am I doing? | :39:39. | :39:52. | |
Good. There we go. If I beat Andy Murray... You are halfway. How long | :39:53. | :40:09. | |
have I got? I pulling weird faces? I have not been checking. You have | :40:10. | :40:12. | |
done better than most of the players. That was good. I think this | :40:13. | :40:34. | |
counts. 15, 16, 17... 21. Except we have to minus the ones that you got. | :40:35. | :40:42. | |
How many do get altogether? Seven. With that. Ryan only got four. You | :40:43. | :40:51. | |
should be proud. I am feeling better all the time. Well done. Can we just | :40:52. | :41:01. | |
check the leaderboard and see where Charlie is now professional | :41:02. | :41:07. | |
leaderboard? Charlie is second?! As Andy mentioned, near loss round each | :41:08. | :41:27. | |
only got four. -- -- Milos Raonic. I am not exaggerating. That is one of | :41:28. | :41:32. | |
the best moments of my life. Did you see the technique? It was | :41:33. | :41:37. | |
impressive. I think Andy Murray was taking tips. I think Charlie is | :41:38. | :41:44. | |
secretly good at tennis. He was a very good sport, that is the truth. | :41:45. | :41:53. | |
That was his idea. He wanted me to do it as well. He is a good sport, a | :41:54. | :41:58. | |
busy man and we wish him well over the next few days. We will talk to | :41:59. | :42:06. | |
Sally a little later on. Done, you. I'm so impressed. I fear the | :42:07. | :42:12. | |
mathematics test a little later, that won't go as well. Just days in | :42:13. | :42:18. | |
the glory of this moment. This is BBC Breakfast. One year on from the | :42:19. | :42:23. | |
Iraq enquiry the chairman has told the BBC that Tony Blair was not | :42:24. | :42:27. | |
straight with the nation when making the case for war. America's UN | :42:28. | :42:31. | |
ambassador has condemned and North Korea's missile test as President | :42:32. | :42:36. | |
Trump heads to Europe to meet world leaders. Patients who are not | :42:37. | :42:44. | |
getting enough to eat or drink, who are getting out of date medication | :42:45. | :42:48. | |
and when there are not enough staff to go around. These concerns | :42:49. | :42:53. | |
highlighted by the care regulator today. It is unveiling the full | :42:54. | :42:56. | |
details of its new inspection regime. The failings have been | :42:57. | :43:01. | |
caught completely unacceptable but what will be done? Let's find out | :43:02. | :43:09. | |
now. Andrea Sutcliffe is the chief inspector. I know you are keen to | :43:10. | :43:13. | |
point out that the majority of services offered are performing | :43:14. | :43:19. | |
well. Indeed they are. What we have showed in our report today is that | :43:20. | :43:24. | |
the vast of adult social care services, be that caring your own | :43:25. | :43:28. | |
home, in nursing home or residential, they are good and | :43:29. | :43:34. | |
meeting the tests and 2% of those services are outstanding. That is | :43:35. | :43:37. | |
down to the dedicated work of thousands of staff across the | :43:38. | :43:41. | |
country and we should pay tribute to them. But inevitably, care is judged | :43:42. | :43:46. | |
by the worst because that is the standard we are looking for. 20,000 | :43:47. | :43:52. | |
people, this morning, as we are chatting now, are in institutions or | :43:53. | :43:56. | |
care homes that are inadequate. Can you give us a sense of what that | :43:57. | :44:02. | |
means in practical terms? Some of these things sound extraordinary. | :44:03. | :44:06. | |
Not enough to drink, not being fed properly. It is extraordinary. It is | :44:07. | :44:10. | |
completely unacceptable. We are finding that about 2% of services | :44:11. | :44:14. | |
are inadequate and we have said that another 20% of services that need to | :44:15. | :44:20. | |
improve. What we see in these homes, particularly in the worst ones, and | :44:21. | :44:23. | |
what we see in the care that people get in the community is not enough | :44:24. | :44:28. | |
staff. People are rushed, unable to give the care that they need to give | :44:29. | :44:34. | |
so people are missing calls home, not giving medication, not being | :44:35. | :44:39. | |
supported to eat well enough or drink well enough and that is so | :44:40. | :44:42. | |
important for the health and well-being. How is coming about? One | :44:43. | :44:50. | |
of the things that we are concerned about is the colour you know, level | :44:51. | :44:54. | |
of vacancy in the services and the numbers of staff who move each year | :44:55. | :44:57. | |
between services or out of the sector altogether. What that means | :44:58. | :45:04. | |
is that there is no consistent -- consistency that we want to see. One | :45:05. | :45:08. | |
thing our reporters tried to do today is to highlight what the good | :45:09. | :45:12. | |
services are doing, how they are focusing on the needs of people, how | :45:13. | :45:16. | |
they ensure that they have a culture which is inclusive, transparent and | :45:17. | :45:20. | |
connected to the local community, and how they have really good | :45:21. | :45:23. | |
leaders to support their staff and make sure that they are trained and | :45:24. | :45:28. | |
valued and recognised for the work that they do and all of that those | :45:29. | :45:32. | |
together to make a good service. That is what we want in the services | :45:33. | :45:36. | |
that we've identified as needing to improve or inadequate need to do. | :45:37. | :45:41. | |
When it boils down to the practicalities, a moment ago you | :45:42. | :45:44. | |
mentioned people not being given enough to eat or drink, not getting | :45:45. | :45:49. | |
enough time to go the toilet. Of the really basic staff. How is it OK for | :45:50. | :45:54. | |
one of your inspectors to leave a home, knowing that that is happening | :45:55. | :46:00. | |
and back home to remain open? How do you know, for example, that the very | :46:01. | :46:04. | |
next day, exactly the same thing is not happening again? One of the very | :46:05. | :46:08. | |
important aspects of our inspections is the feedback we provide to people | :46:09. | :46:13. | |
who are running the services. But what they need to do and how they | :46:14. | :46:17. | |
need to go about making those improvements. What we have seen in | :46:18. | :46:22. | |
these inspections is that the majority of services, when we have | :46:23. | :46:26. | |
identified the problems, have indeed improved. Let's not forget, these | :46:27. | :46:30. | |
are the homes for people. We do not want to close things down overnight | :46:31. | :46:36. | |
because that means a huge disruption and disruption for their families. | :46:37. | :46:39. | |
We want the services to improve in the majority do. That does not | :46:40. | :46:43. | |
happen, we will take further action and we have done so to force that | :46:44. | :46:48. | |
improvement, either by preventing them from admitting new people in | :46:49. | :46:54. | |
all, indeed, taking action which means that the service does close. I | :46:55. | :46:58. | |
would much prefer that people put these things right and they provide | :46:59. | :47:02. | |
the care that people have every right to expect. | :47:03. | :47:07. | |
In a way, when it boils down to some of the things which are going on, it | :47:08. | :47:13. | |
is almost frightening, isn't it? I know the phrase tipping point has | :47:14. | :47:17. | |
been mentioned before, about where we're at with our social care. Is | :47:18. | :47:21. | |
there a horrible new reality dawning now, which is that, because of the | :47:22. | :47:26. | |
recruitment crisis, others talk about the financing and social care, | :47:27. | :47:30. | |
is there a horrible new reality, which is that, in the world we live | :47:31. | :47:36. | |
in now, if these kind of... I am going to call the mistakes, but | :47:37. | :47:40. | |
these things happening, people not being fed, being given basic human | :47:41. | :47:44. | |
needs, is that something which is just going to happen? It so should | :47:45. | :47:50. | |
not be what is going to happen. That is the reason why... But it is | :47:51. | :47:55. | |
happening, you are seeing. That is the reason why what we are doing is | :47:56. | :47:59. | |
so important, in identifying and shining a spotlight on this, and | :48:00. | :48:02. | |
making sure that people put it right. I think that we have a | :48:03. | :48:07. | |
precarious situation in our adult social care has. We are seeing good | :48:08. | :48:11. | |
services. It is not the reality for everybody, but it is not | :48:12. | :48:14. | |
consistently good enough everywhere, and we need to make sure that we are | :48:15. | :48:19. | |
taking the action that we need to do. At others need to step up to the | :48:20. | :48:23. | |
plate as well. People that are running these services need to use | :48:24. | :48:27. | |
the resources that they have got available properly, support their | :48:28. | :48:30. | |
staff, make sure that people are getting the care they deserve, and | :48:31. | :48:33. | |
the public wadis which are commissioning these services, buying | :48:34. | :48:36. | |
these services on behalf of people, they need to make sure that they are | :48:37. | :48:40. | |
focusing on quality, and supporting these services to do the right thing | :48:41. | :48:44. | |
by the people who are using them. Thank you for your time this | :48:45. | :48:46. | |
morning. Carol is at Wimbledon with a look | :48:47. | :48:49. | |
at this morning's weather. I imagine this area will get very | :48:50. | :49:01. | |
busy later on. It most certainly will, and it is beautiful down here | :49:02. | :49:06. | |
as well. And later on, you are quite right, we might see some more flying | :49:07. | :49:10. | |
ants because today is going to be hot and humid in the south once | :49:11. | :49:14. | |
again. A couple of interesting facts about those flying ants. They tend | :49:15. | :49:18. | |
to do it more or less on the same day, give or take a day or two, | :49:19. | :49:22. | |
across the country, and scientists are no way exactly that is, but they | :49:23. | :49:27. | |
think the Queen and picks the day by sensing the temperatures, the | :49:28. | :49:31. | |
humidity and the day length. And hot and humid conditions are perfect. | :49:32. | :49:34. | |
The heat makes it easier for them to fly and the humidity makes the | :49:35. | :49:38. | |
ground softer for the ants to actually dig in and lay her eggs. So | :49:39. | :49:43. | |
some interesting facts they are. The forecast today for Wimbledon, you | :49:44. | :49:47. | |
can see in the charts it looks like it will be dry all day. It will be | :49:48. | :49:52. | |
sunny and hot and humid, but we are at risk of some showers into the | :49:53. | :49:55. | |
early afternoon. Some of those could be thundery, and that risk tends to | :49:56. | :49:59. | |
diminish, but not completely. We can't completely rule out the | :50:00. | :50:03. | |
thundery shower in the afternoon or evening, and temperatures up to 30 | :50:04. | :50:08. | |
Celsius. For all of us, again, today we are looking at some thunderstorms | :50:09. | :50:13. | |
here and it will be warm, or indeed hot. If we start off the south-east | :50:14. | :50:17. | |
of England, we are looking at variable amounts of cloud, a little | :50:18. | :50:20. | |
bit more than yesterday, some sunshine, and some showers. And | :50:21. | :50:23. | |
though showers not particularly heavy, you may hear the odd rumble | :50:24. | :50:27. | |
of thunder. As we drift to the Midlands, East Anglia, heading in | :50:28. | :50:30. | |
northern England, variable amounts of cloud, some sunny spells, the odd | :50:31. | :50:35. | |
shower. Scotland has rained crossing towards the north-east. In Northern | :50:36. | :50:39. | |
Ireland, one or two showers, but largely dry. Same for Wales, largely | :50:40. | :50:43. | |
dry, with some sunny spells. South-east England, the same, | :50:44. | :50:47. | |
temperatures in double figures, although in the south-west of | :50:48. | :50:50. | |
England, some cloud will peg back the temperatures. Drifting towards | :50:51. | :50:53. | |
Bristol and the Home Counties, similar story. A fair bit of cloud | :50:54. | :50:57. | |
at times, some sunny spells and the risk of the odd thundery shower. As | :50:58. | :51:01. | |
we go through the course of the day and temperatures rise, we start to | :51:02. | :51:05. | |
see the torrential thunderstorms, especially from East Wales, the | :51:06. | :51:08. | |
Midlands in northern England. They are hit and miss, not all of us will | :51:09. | :51:12. | |
see them, some possible stay dry and sunny but if you do you'll know all | :51:13. | :51:17. | |
about it. We could see a few further south, again hit and miss. In the | :51:18. | :51:28. | |
rain turning showery, in Northern Ireland it will stay dry. As we head | :51:29. | :51:31. | |
on through the evening and overnight the remnants of the thunderstorms | :51:32. | :51:35. | |
continue to drift off into the North Sea. Lots of dry weather, some clear | :51:36. | :51:38. | |
spells, and another weather front showing its hand across western | :51:39. | :51:41. | |
Scotland, introducing some rain. The temperature range of 12 in the north | :51:42. | :51:45. | |
to a sticky 18 as we had further south. Tomorrow, a lot of dry | :51:46. | :51:48. | |
weather to start the day. Start once again. We will see that weather | :51:49. | :51:51. | |
front across western Scotland start to sink southwards. In doing so it | :51:52. | :51:55. | |
will weaken, so there will be more cloud with it and the rain turning | :51:56. | :51:59. | |
more patchy. And around that and behind it are well be that bit | :52:00. | :52:02. | |
fresher, but still quite sticky in the south-east, with highs up to 28 | :52:03. | :52:06. | |
Celsius. As we head into Saturday, we start the day across Wales, the | :52:07. | :52:09. | |
Midlands, parts of northern England, with some rain. Through the course | :52:10. | :52:13. | |
of the day that tends to break up and turn more showery. Again, on | :52:14. | :52:16. | |
either side of it, quite a bit of dry weather around, and some | :52:17. | :52:20. | |
sunshine. And in the south-east, hanging on to the higher | :52:21. | :52:24. | |
temperatures. For the rest of the UK, it will be fresh. Thank you very | :52:25. | :52:26. | |
much, we will see you later on. At Wimbledon, we are used to tennis | :52:27. | :52:28. | |
balls being this colour, but they very nearly | :52:29. | :52:31. | |
looked like this, instead, and it is all down to what worked | :52:32. | :52:34. | |
best for colour TV. It has been 50 years since colour | :52:35. | :52:37. | |
television began with coverage of Wimbledon, and it was all down | :52:38. | :52:40. | |
to the personal ambition of one man, He has been speaking exclusively | :52:41. | :52:44. | |
to Breakfast's Graham Satchell. Lillian Gish, what made you decide | :52:45. | :53:04. | |
to become an actress? I never decided. Late-night line 1967, and | :53:05. | :53:09. | |
the BBC was running an experiment. While the rest of the country was | :53:10. | :53:13. | |
watching black-and-white, to make people were watching in colour. | :53:14. | :53:18. | |
There were two, two prototype colour television receivers. One of them | :53:19. | :53:22. | |
belong to the chief engineer of the BBC, and the other was mine, and | :53:23. | :53:28. | |
they were the size of refrigerators. Sir David Attenborough, then | :53:29. | :53:31. | |
controller of BBC Two, one of the channel to be the first in Europe to | :53:32. | :53:35. | |
go colour. We knew that we were running a race with Germany. And in | :53:36. | :53:40. | |
a rather childish way, I thought it would be nice to compete. And it | :53:41. | :53:44. | |
occurred to me than that two broadcast units were enough to give | :53:45. | :53:47. | |
you a continuous service from Wimbledon. It is not the first time | :53:48. | :53:53. | |
Wimbledon offered an opportunity. 80 years ago, it was the first sport to | :53:54. | :53:58. | |
be broadcast live on television. This year also sees the 90th | :53:59. | :54:02. | |
anniversary of radio commentaries, and then 50 years ago, this. The | :54:03. | :54:09. | |
first colour television in Europe. It was like, you know, a sudden new | :54:10. | :54:15. | |
world of brilliant colour, and everything that you only saw if you | :54:16. | :54:19. | |
went there to the event was here before your eyes, and that was | :54:20. | :54:24. | |
wonderful. John Barrett, the voice of tennis commentary for more than | :54:25. | :54:29. | |
30 years. In 1967 he was still playing, but remembers the | :54:30. | :54:32. | |
introduction of colour TV well, and its impact on Wimbledon. The colour | :54:33. | :54:37. | |
of the balls used to be white. They had a day here which I remember well | :54:38. | :54:41. | |
when they were testing all sorts of new colours. And after a number of | :54:42. | :54:46. | |
colours were tested, including pink, yellow was found to be the most | :54:47. | :54:50. | |
easily discernible against the grass. So it could have been pink. | :54:51. | :54:56. | |
Well, it could have been. It doesn't feel right, does it? Pink! There is | :54:57. | :55:01. | |
the trophy going back to Australia. There were other changes. The trophy | :55:02. | :55:05. | |
presented on court to the winning man used to be this, the Presidents | :55:06. | :55:09. | |
cup. Today they get the challenge cup, because it looks better on | :55:10. | :55:13. | |
colour TV. It is gold. So what does the man who introduced colour make | :55:14. | :55:18. | |
of his achievement? We had guests in every evening, and it was a wonder. | :55:19. | :55:25. | |
The problem was, on the first set there was a thing called the tilt | :55:26. | :55:30. | |
control, and viewers would wind up the tent, so that the skies were | :55:31. | :55:36. | |
throbbing ultramarine, the Greens were saturated and Rolt. I mean, | :55:37. | :55:43. | |
they were awful. But they wanted real colour. That's what they | :55:44. | :55:50. | |
wanted. We want real colour! And we still do. Hard to imagine today a | :55:51. | :55:53. | |
world without colour television, had all started here on centre 50 years | :55:54. | :55:55. | |
ago. It is absolutely fascinating, isn't | :55:56. | :56:05. | |
it? The advent of colour TV. And now you know why we have | :56:06. | :59:24. | |
I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom | :59:25. | :59:27. | |
Plenty more on our website at the usual address. | :59:28. | :59:30. | |
with Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt. | :59:31. | :59:52. | |
One year on, the Chairman of the Iraq Inquiry tells | :59:53. | :59:55. | |
the BBC that Tony Blair has "failed to be | :59:56. | :59:58. | |
In his first interview, Sir John Chilcot, says the evidence | :59:59. | :00:15. | |
the former Prime Minister gave was 'emotionally truthful', | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
but suggested that he relied on his own belief rather | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
Any Prime Minister taking the country into war has got to be | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
straight with the nation and carry it so far as possible | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
I don't believe that was the case in the Iraq instance. | :00:28. | :00:36. | |
Good morning, it's Thursday sixth July. | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
Also this morning: Reckless and irresponsible. | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
A quarter of care homes in England an safe enough as a result of a | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
damning report from inspectors. Reckless | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
and irresponsible. America's ambassador to the UN | :00:52. | :00:56. | |

round at Wimbledon for the first time in 20 years. | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
An emotional Johanna Konta battled it out for more than three | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
hours as she joined Andy Murray, Aljaz Bedene and Heather Watson | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
And we'll be looking at a slice of Wimbledon history. | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
50 years ago, the first colour TV transmission. | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
We speak exclusively to the man who made it happen. | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
The skies were throbbing ultramarine. | :01:40. | :01:51. | |
The greens were saturated emerald, it was awful. | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
I'm next to the trophies, the risk of showers to early afternoon and | :01:54. | :02:08. | |
then it diminishes but we can't rule it out altogether. For the rest of | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
the UK a lot of dry weather around. Rain crossing Scotland and heavy | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
thunderstorms for some later on. We will be back later in the programme. | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
The Chairman of the Iraq Inquiry, Sir John Chilcot, has told the BBC | :02:22. | :02:31. | |
that the former Prime Minister, Tony Blair, was not "straight | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
with the nation", or his inquiry, about the decisions made | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
Speaking for the first time since the publication of his report | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
a year ago today, Sir John tells the BBC why he thinks Mr Blair made | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
the decisions he did, and about Mr Blair's state of mind | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
Our political correspondent Leila Nathoo | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
Shall we start first of all with the Chilcott Inquiry and what it was all | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
about? It was ordered in 2009 by Gordon Brown in an attempt to learn | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
lessons from the Iraqi war. Seven years and almost 2 million words | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
later, last summer, we got the conclusions from Sir John Chilcot | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
and they were pretty damning. Among other things he said the UK chose to | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
join the invasion of Iraq before all the peaceful options for disarmament | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
were exhausted. He said policy was made on the basis of flawed | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
intelligence assessments, the military were underprepared and the | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
consequences were underestimated. He has given his first interview since | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
the publication of his report and he has been speaking to Laura | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
Kuenssberg, reflecting among other things on the role of former Prime | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
Minister Tony Blair and his conduct during the enquiry. | :03:44. | :03:56. | |
Do you feel that the Tony Blair was as straight | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
Can I slightly reword that to say that I | :04:01. | :04:12. | |
think any Prime Minister taking a country into war needs to be | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
as straight with the nation and carry | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
it as far as possible with him or her. | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
I don't believe that was the case in the Iraq instance. | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
Do you think he gave the fullest version of events? | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
I think he gave, from his perspective and standpoint, | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
And I think that came out in his press | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
conference after the launch statement. | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
I think he was under really great emotional pressure | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
during those sessions, far more than the committee were. | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
In that state of mind and mood, you fall back on your instinctive | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
You are saying that he was relying on emotions, not fact? | :04:43. | :04:59. | |
These were his personal reflections on the process of carrying out that | :05:00. | :05:13. | |
enquiry. In his report he didn't accused Tony Blair of lying or | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
manipulating the evidence for going to war but we've heard from a | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
spokesperson for Tony Blair who referred us to the comments he made | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
at the time in a press conference where he said he accepted the | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
intelligence was wrong and he took full responsibility for what | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
happened and the decision he made but he took that decision in good | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
faith and there were no lies or intention to deceive and he did what | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
he thought was right at the time. Thanks very much. | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
We are going to talk to one British army general who gave evidence in a | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
few minutes. A quarter of adult care services | :05:50. | :05:50. | |
in England are not safe enough, A report by the Care Quality | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
Commission says most care homes, nursing homes and home | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
care services are good, Among the issues raised by the care | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
regulator were people not getting enough to eat and drink, | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
and not being given There are some distressing images | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
in this report from our social affairs correspondent, | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
Allison Holt. Mum, can you open your | :06:12. | :06:20. | |
eyes just a little? This woman carefully | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
gives her mum her lunch. The front room of their | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
Birmingham home has become They want her close | :06:25. | :06:32. | |
by after discovering the sort of poor care highlighted | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
in the report today. Betty, who has heart | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
problems and dementia, The family had concerns | :06:39. | :06:39. | |
so they put in a secret camera. It soon showed a care worker pushing | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
Betty's chair sharply Then when Betty objects | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
to her top being changed, her head is slammed | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
back into the chair. Last February in court, | :06:53. | :06:54. | |
the care worker accepted that her actions | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
were reckless rather She was given a 12-month community | :07:00. | :07:00. | |
order. Don't let them distance | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
you because they did with us for about eight months | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
and I wish we would have, you know, pursued it a lot | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
quicker than we did. Then mum probably would not have | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
suffered the way she did. The report by inspectors today says | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
most care in England Even so, 25% of all | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
services failed on 37% of nursing homes | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
were not safe enough. Also, when re-inspected, | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
quality of care in some good What we're seeing in these services | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
that are deteriorating is how fragile and precarious | :07:40. | :07:47. | |
quality adult social care is and that is the reason why | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
we really have to make sure that everybody understands | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
quality matters. Providers have got to focus on that | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
and commissioners and funders have got to make sure that funding | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
is available to ensure that people get the quality | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
of care they deserve. The government says the poor care | :08:05. | :08:06. | |
experienced by some families And that as well as putting in more | :08:07. | :08:08. | |
money, it will be consulting on how to place social care on a more | :08:09. | :08:19. | |
secure footing for the future. The US Ambassador to | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
the United Nations has described North Korea's latest | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
missile test as 'a clear It has been confirmed | :08:31. | :08:32. | |
that the intercontinental ballistic missile fired by North Korea | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
for the first time could have a range of more | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
than 3,000 miles, On the coast of South Korea, | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
a barrage of missiles is fired Commanders said the tests indicate | :08:41. | :08:48. | |
what could happen if the US loses A show of force, backed up by strong | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
words at the UN Security Council. Yesterday's actions | :08:54. | :09:04. | |
by North Korea made the world There are legal missile launch | :09:05. | :09:06. | |
was not only dangerous, Experts believe the country's ICBMs | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
could carry warheads President Xi Jinping in Germany has | :09:10. | :09:19. | |
called for restraint. Russia has warned against any | :09:20. | :09:34. | |
pre-emptive military action. As the US considers what to do next, | :09:35. | :09:42. | |
President Trump has arrived in Poland, ahead of | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
the G20 Summit in Germany. The crisis will be high | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
on the agenda there, but a united response | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
looks unlikely. President Trump has arrived | :09:52. | :10:02. | |
in Poland ahead of tomorrow's He's due to make a keynote address | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
to the crowds in Warsaw later today. Our correspondent Adam Easton | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
is live there now. Donald Trump is there but how do | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
these things work, do you get an indication about what he might say? | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
I think what he's most likely to say is give reassurances, defence | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
reassurances, to the polls and other central Europe and leaders who are | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
meeting in Warsaw today for a summit. The will say I believe in | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
Nato, I believe in the article five in that any member of Nato which is | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
attacked, the other member states will come to your defence. The | :10:41. | :10:54. | |
annexation of Georgia, Crimea and the war in Ukraine is the number-1 | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
thing polls and other regional leaders would to hear from Donald | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
Trump. -- Poles. We'll help you if you're attacked. | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
Amnesty International has accused the European Union of deliberately | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
turning its back on migrants and refugees. | :11:10. | :11:11. | |
The human rights group claims that making deals with Libya put | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
thousands of people at risk of drowning and torture. | :11:15. | :11:16. | |
A new EU action-plan aims to help the Libyan coastguard stop migrants | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
from crossing to Italy, but Amnesty says it will only make | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
the crisis worse by leaving people trapped and exposed to abuse. | :11:23. | :11:34. | |
We've all heard of cats getting stuck up trees. | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
Now you can see how they are finding new ways to risk their nine lives, | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
The RSPCA says it was called out to help almost 3,000 trapped | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
This one, Albus, got stuck in a four-inch gap, | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
which firefighters had to free him from. | :11:50. | :11:51. | |
An RSPCA officer had to rescue this kitten, | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
Lola, when she got wedged eight feet up a chimney. | :11:55. | :11:56. | |
It always surprises me the cats can get in but they can't get out. | :11:57. | :12:08. | |
This gorgeous kitten was rescued from a 20ft tall tree | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
by a firefighter who found him huddled inside a pigeon nest, | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
They really get into some pickles, don't they? We will have the weather | :12:16. | :12:34. | |
later so that with them in a bit. Let's get back to our | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
main story now. When Sir John Chilcot | :12:39. | :12:40. | |
delivered his report on the Iraq War he criticised almost every part | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
of the UK's involvement in it. That included the reasons it began, | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
the intelligence provided A year after the report's | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
publication, Sir John has now told the BBC that Tony Blair was not | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
straight with the nation Major General Tim Cross also | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
appeared at the inquiry. Thank you very much indeed for | :12:57. | :13:08. | |
joining us this morning, Major General. First of all, your | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
reaction, you've been hearing snippets of this interview Sir John | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
Chilcot gave to the BBC, your reaction? I thought it was really | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
interesting. As you say, it was only snippets of what I know was A40 | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
minute interview so inevitably you will have pulled out some of the key | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
issues. What I found interesting was Sir John made the point Tony Blair | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
gave his witness statements from a different approach, the advocacy | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
idea, and he focused on the emotional intelligence aspect of | :13:40. | :13:41. | |
Tony Blair, which is really interesting I think because Tony | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
Blair was an emotional guy, one of the reasons he got elected so often, | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
I have to say I never voted for him, but it was because of his emotional | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
intelligence. One needs to see the context of the decisions taken in | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
2003. The 1991 which I was involved in, the Rwanda issue in the 1990s, | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
the Balkans, Kosovo and so on, I'm not surprised he focused in on this, | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
Blair was an emotional guy and ironically Gordon Brown and Theresa | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
May are being accused of not being emotional enough so there's an | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
interesting conversation here I think. Do you think or believe that | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
emotion interfered with rational decision-making? Sure, yeah, I'm | :14:24. | :14:30. | |
sure it did. When I met Tony Blair in Kosovo for example when my | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
brigade built and ran refugee camps, he literally wept in tents with the | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
refugees, he's very emotional, and in Chicago in 99 when he made a | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
speech, he talked about the necessity in the 20th century not to | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
stand back and watch when people are massacred in the Balkans and Rwanda | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
and so on but we all bring emotions into this but how far do you allow | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
them to infringe on your decision-making? Again I stress, I | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
don't rush to defend Tony Blair, I don't agree with a lot of the | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
decisions he made, but it's interesting Sir John didn't say he | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
didn't tell the truth but his emotions obviously had a big impact | :15:08. | :15:09. | |
on his decision-making. One of the things that struck people | :15:10. | :15:17. | |
observing the wall was how prepared the British Army was, and I am going | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
to play a clip, and hopefully you will be able to hear this, of Sir | :15:23. | :15:31. | |
John Chilcot Torquay about the level of preparedness of the army. I had | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
so many years in Northern Ireland where the troops were given | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
extremely clear instructions and orders as to how to operate. No such | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
instructions or guidance was given at all in the beginning of Iraq. | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
What do we do if a bunch of Iraqis come at us and we have got rivals? | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
Do we shoot not shoot? Now that can never happen again. That was awful | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
institutional failure. And that is because the report has wrought in a | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
new level of challenge. I believe so. In fact, I am assured so. And | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
hoping so. You were the British representative of the office of | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
humanitarian assistance and you saw firsthand what was happening and how | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
the army was coping. Your reaction to what Sir John Chilcot said there? | :16:18. | :16:24. | |
It is interesting that he is focusing in on what we call rules of | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
engagement. I served in Northern Ireland in the 1970s and they were | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
very clear rules of engagement. The British Army trains to manage and | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
understand warfare, things like the Geneva conventions and so on. So | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
there is a foundation of the rules of engagement. And Sir John, I did | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
not say this earlier, but he said in his report and reaffirmed in this | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
interview that this was not last resort, one of the just war | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
criteria, the idea that in warfare how do you fight this war is what he | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
is talking about here, in terms of the rules of engagement. I think the | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
British Army were pretty well prepared for this operation | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
militarily, in terms of the combat power, and we mustn't forget this | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
was a war, so this is not a peacekeeping operation or dealing | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
with terrorism or counterinsurgency, at this stage. So to be honest, I | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
was in Baghdad, Kuwait and then Baghdad, when the invasion started, | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
and I never actually saw the specific rules of engagement which | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
were given, but I am pretty confident that the guy is understood | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
what it was that they were intending to do, and how to use force in this | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
context. That said, I do not want to move away from Sir John's point, if | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
they were not clear enough, that is a lesson we need to learn. Do you | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
think this country was taken into war with all of the information it | :17:44. | :17:51. | |
should have had? Well, to be honest, I find that really quite difficult | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
to answer. He talked again, Tony Blair talked about taking the nation | :17:56. | :18:02. | |
to war as far as is possible. What do we mean by that? Where on the | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
spectrum? Some people would obviously say that they do not | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
believe we have enough information. I don't think these things are ever | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
that clear. When I briefed Tony Blair, it was quite clear that he | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
felt that this was a necessity, that there was a just cause, that we had | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
to do something about this. How he portrayed that politically, the | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
information he gave out, my own sense is that he wasn't that far | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
short if he was short. Again, I carry my own baggage here, because | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
as I said earlier, I have no problem with the fact that in the end we did | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
away with Saddam Hussein. I watched the mass graves being dug up, and | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
this is a nasty, brutal dictator. Getting rid of him, I don't have a | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
problem with. Politically, I don't think Blair played it well | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
personally. I don't rate him that much, in the context of ever having | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
voted for him. Thank you very much for your frank views this morning, | :18:53. | :18:54. | |
Major General Tim Cross. Carol is at Wimbledon with a look | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
at this morning's weather. In the rather grand surroundings, is | :18:58. | :19:06. | |
that the trophy immediately behind you? That is absolutely right, on | :19:07. | :19:13. | |
all levels. I am next to the trophy cabinets, and if you take a look you | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
can see at the bottom of the gentleman's double trophies, and | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
this is the gentleman's singles trophy. It was first presented in | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
1887. Herbert Ford askew Horford was the first champion to wind that cup, | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
but it was decided to engrave all the names of the champions from 1877 | :19:34. | :19:39. | |
-- Fortescue. You can see them down the sides of the trophy there. The | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
plinth at the bottom, the gold one, was added in 2009 when there was no | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
more room for any names at the top and the gentleman who winds the | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
trophy will not take this one home. He will take with a size replica, | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
still with all the names of the previous champions on it. It is | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
rather nice, don't you think? I would rather like to take that | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
myself or my mantelpiece although it might be too big. The forecast for | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
Wimbledon is looking dry, according to my charts, but there is the risk | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
of some showers. This morning, up until early afternoon. And then that | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
risk diminishes, but we can't completely rule out thunderstorms in | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
the afternoon. Temperatures today up to 30 Celsius, so another hot and | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
sticky day. In fact, across the country today it is going to be | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
either fresh, warm or very warm, and we are looking at thunderstorms for | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
some of us. Across southern England we have some cloud around, but also | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
some sunshine. A few showers, which could be thundery but won't be | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
happy, and as we drift through the Midlands in northern England, a | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
similar story. You could see the odd rumble of thunder or lightning in | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
north-east England. Scotland has rain crossing, moving north | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
eastwards, and for Northern Ireland there are a few showers in the north | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
but largely dry. Again, brighter, sunny skies. Brighter, sunny skies | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
in Wales in south-west England, although there is more in the way of | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
low cloud across parts of the coastline in south-east England. As | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
we drove from Bristol, Gloucestershire, over towards the | :21:10. | :21:12. | |
Home Counties, we are looking at bright skies, some sunny spells and | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
the risk of the odd shower, which could be thundery. As we go through | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
the course of the day and temperatures rise, that is when we | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
could see intense thunderstorms develop from East Wales, the | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
Midlands, into northern England. Not all of us will see them, they will | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
be hit and miss, but there will be large hail in them as well and you | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
will know about them if you catch one. Further south, you are not | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
immune to them, but at the risk is lower. Here it is fresher, still hot | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
and humid across England and Wales, especially the south-east. Through | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
the evening and overnight we eventually lose the thunderstorms | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
into the North Sea. There'll be a lot of dry weather around and the | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
new frontal system introducing rain to western Scotland showing its | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
hand. Temperature-wise, roughly 12 to about 18. Again, another | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
oppressive night in the south. For tomorrow, we start on mild note at | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
the rain across western Scotland, that weather front, continues to | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
sink southwards and in doing so it starts to weaken. So it will still | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
be wet but it will be patchy rain and a fair bit of cloud coming south | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
with it. We will also feel a lot fresher across England and Wales, | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
but not the south-east. Here, we hang on to the higher temperatures. | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
As we move on into Friday we start the day across Wales, the Midlands, | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
parts of northern England, with some rain. Through the day that will | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
increasingly turn showery. On either side of it, largely dry and bright | :22:33. | :22:35. | |
and again we get the division. Fresher in comparison across most of | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
the UK but the south-east still hanging onto the and humid | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
conditions. What do you think of my trophies? They rather nice, aren't | :22:44. | :22:51. | |
they? Just tell me, for geography purposes, those doors behind you, is | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
that the entrance to centre court? Absolutely right, that is where the | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
players come down the stairs, they go through there and they are on the | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
centre court. Gorgeous, lovely. Carol, your trophies are marvellous. | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
How do you create the business leaders of tomorrow? | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
That is the big question often asked by employers, | :23:11. | :23:12. | |
Good morning. You are absolutely who may have the answer. | :23:13. | :23:26. | |
Good morning. You are absolutely right, welcome to central London, we | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
are here with the final is from the Young enterprise scheme, and they | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
are putting me to shame, coming up with all sorts of ideas. The point | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
is that they sell those ideas and hope to be crowned the winner. | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
20,000 students have been involved this year and it has been whittled | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
down to just 14 teams. Let me introduce you to some of them. Henry | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
is with us. Tell me about what your firm has come up with. We are based | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
in Gibraltar, and this is our product, it is an NFC wristband on | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
which you can store your medical information. Working closely with | :24:01. | :24:08. | |
the Gibraltar NHS authority, a sickly the NHS in Gibraltar and St | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
John's ambulance, and working with them, they have scanners so that | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
first responders can see this information and treat patients | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
effectively. How did you come up with an idea like that? So as a | :24:21. | :24:27. | |
group we had various ideas, basing it mainly on our company ethos. We | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
wanted to get back to the community, and to benefit those around us, so | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
we had ideas from baby shoes you can fit in your handbags, and this | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
really stood out. One of our directors said that maybe we could | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
do something with NFC technology, and then linking it together, we | :24:46. | :24:53. | |
came up with the medical use. Best of luck with the finals today. So | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
from Bury new tech, I want to take you to some old tech, but in a very | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
different way. Your venture pad. Tell me about this. We are the most | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
advanced notepad in the world, we like to think. So show us how this | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
works. Basically underwater, and here we go. And I have written BBC, | :25:14. | :25:23. | |
physically underwater, smudge proof, tear proof and waterproof. So who | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
would you sell this to? We started with the idea of rowers, but we | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
realise there is a huge market for it, from rowers, to outdoor | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
enthusiasts, ACCPAC is, and Latin physios have contacted us asking for | :25:38. | :25:46. | |
the products -- backpackers. Staying with tech, you have this futuristic | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
looking gadget, and it is different because you are going international, | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
making yours in China. So we designed exclusively for us, and it | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
is manufactured in China. We import and distributed through a range of | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
retailers. I imagine that causes some logistical problems. You have | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
to have a good eye on your suppliers if you are dealing with China. | :26:12. | :26:14. | |
That's right, one of the biggest points of our business is ensuring | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
we have great relationships with suppliers. Obviously if there are | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
delays, we don't have products to sell and we can't make any money so | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
we need to make sure that loose ends are tied up in a betting is in | :26:27. | :26:39. | |
order. And before I go, one, quickly, just to show you. Victoria, | :26:40. | :26:42. | |
you have come up with a really interesting idea. This is how to | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
charge your phone using denim. Yes, basically, our product is a denim | :26:47. | :26:49. | |
pocket which you hang over a socket when your phone is on charge to keep | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
cables in place, as we found in a common room that the sockets are | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
really high up on the wall. We thought it would be a fun way to | :26:58. | :27:01. | |
incorporate recycled jeans with fun and creativity. So this is finding a | :27:02. | :27:04. | |
problem and absolutely coming up with a solution for it. Yes, quite a | :27:05. | :27:07. | |
rare problem but everyone judges their phones all of the time and it | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
was quite difficult when they were hanging from the walls. We thought | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
it would be a good idea. Good luck, really nice to see you. We will talk | :27:16. | :27:19. | |
to you later. So really impressive ideas this morning. They have all | :27:20. | :27:22. | |
come up with different ways of working, and now they have to sell | :27:23. | :27:25. | |
those products, they have the picture to all the judges and they | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
are hoping to be crowned winner of Young Enterprise. And the winner of | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
this will go over to Brussels to take part in the European | :27:34. | :27:35. | |
Championships. Some really impressive ideas down here today, | :27:36. | :27:38. | |
certainly putting me to shame. More from me a little later. You need to | :27:39. | :27:43. | |
come up with an idea and get them to help you. That is what you need to | :27:44. | :27:47. | |
do by the end of the day. Claim on the right place to get that, think. | :27:48. | :27:52. | |
-- I am in the right place to get that, I think. | :27:53. | :27:52. | |
Still to come this morning: Tim is with some maths-mad pupils, | :27:53. | :27:55. | |
to find out the secret to becoming a whizz at your times tables. | :27:56. | :27:59. | |
Good morning to you from parklands primary school in Leeds, more -- one | :28:00. | :28:09. | |
of more than 100 schools to be celebrating times tables. In about | :28:10. | :28:12. | |
ten minutes' time we will tell you what has happened. Much faster | :28:13. | :28:20. | |
mortification than me, we will find out how we make times tables | :28:21. | :28:22. | |
interesting, and white we Now, though, it is back | :28:23. | :31:43. | |
to Charlie and Naga. Hello, this is Breakfast with | :31:44. | :31:47. | |
Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty. One year on from the inquiry | :31:48. | :31:57. | |
into the Iraq War, the man who carried it out has, | :31:58. | :32:00. | |
for the first time, given his personal | :32:01. | :32:02. | |
account of what happened. Sir John Chilcot told the BBC | :32:03. | :32:05. | |
that he believes the former Prime Minister, Tony Blair, | :32:06. | :32:09. | |
was not straight with the nation about the decisions made | :32:10. | :32:12. | |
in the run-up to war. Do you believe that | :32:13. | :32:15. | |
Tony Blair was as straight with you and the public | :32:16. | :32:18. | |
as he ought to have been? Any Prime Minister taking | :32:19. | :32:29. | |
the country into war has got to be straight with the nation and carry | :32:30. | :32:38. | |
it so far as possible I don't believe that was the case | :32:39. | :32:41. | |
in the Iraq instance. A quarter of adult care services | :32:42. | :32:45. | |
in England are not safe enough, A report by the Care | :32:46. | :32:49. | |
Quality Commission says most care homes, nursing homes | :32:50. | :32:51. | |
and home care services are good, The government said it would invest | :32:52. | :32:54. | |
more money in social care. Earlier the Chief Inspector told us | :32:55. | :33:00. | |
the CQC had discovered What we see in these homes, | :33:01. | :33:12. | |
particularly in the worst homes, and what we see in the care the people | :33:13. | :33:17. | |
get in the community is not enough staff, people rushed around not able | :33:18. | :33:20. | |
to give the care that they need to give so people missing their calls | :33:21. | :33:24. | |
at home, not being given the medication that they need in a | :33:25. | :33:28. | |
residential or nursing home, not being supported to eat well enough, | :33:29. | :33:33. | |
to drink well enough, and that is so important for their health and | :33:34. | :33:34. | |
well-being. The US Ambassador to | :33:35. | :33:37. | |
the United Nations has described North Korea's latest | :33:38. | :33:39. | |
missile test as a clear It has been confirmed | :33:40. | :33:42. | |
that the intercontinental ballistic missile fired by North Korea | :33:43. | :33:45. | |
for the first time could have a range of more | :33:46. | :33:48. | |
than 3,000 miles, A task force will be sent to help | :33:49. | :33:50. | |
run Kensington and Chelsea Council, in the wake of the devastating fire | :33:51. | :33:58. | |
which destroyed Grenfell Tower It will take over the running of key | :33:59. | :34:01. | |
services after the council's response to the disaster | :34:02. | :34:06. | |
was heavily criticised. Most of the families | :34:07. | :34:08. | |
which lost their homes in the fire are still living in hotels | :34:09. | :34:11. | |
despite government pledges We will do absolutely | :34:12. | :34:13. | |
everything we can as a council to help our community | :34:14. | :34:19. | |
and to help our community heal. And you don't think | :34:20. | :34:21. | |
the council should be The council is not being taken over | :34:22. | :34:24. | |
by outside commissions. We have asked people to come | :34:25. | :34:35. | |
because we need more help. At least 15 people are missing | :34:36. | :34:40. | |
after widespread flooding hit parts of Japan following | :34:41. | :34:43. | |
unprecedented rainfall. 400,000 people have been forced | :34:44. | :34:44. | |
from their homes after floodwaters hit towns and villages | :34:45. | :34:47. | |
on the main southern island Meteorologists are warning | :34:48. | :34:49. | |
that the weather could worsen. Japanese authorities | :34:50. | :34:52. | |
have deployed police, search and rescue teams | :34:53. | :34:53. | |
and soldiers to the region. The Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg | :34:54. | :35:06. | |
has announced the birth of his sixth child, revealing his son's unique | :35:07. | :35:09. | |
name, Sixtus Dominic Boniface The Tory backbencher, | :35:10. | :35:12. | |
who has recently become a popular figure on social media, shared | :35:13. | :35:18. | |
the news on his Instagram feed. Baby Sixtus has siblings Peter, | :35:19. | :35:21. | |
Mary, Thomas, Anselm and Alfred, and shares his unusual | :35:22. | :35:23. | |
name with five popes. Later on Carol will have the weather | :35:24. | :35:30. | |
from Wimbledon. It wasn't just the tennis | :35:31. | :35:33. | |
professionals who were making headlines at Wimbledon yesterday, | :35:34. | :35:35. | |
take a look at this. Swarms of flying ants | :35:36. | :35:38. | |
invaded the courts. They were landing on players | :35:39. | :35:41. | |
and spectators, irritating everyone. Players were forced to swat | :35:42. | :35:44. | |
them away and some, including Jo Konta, said | :35:45. | :35:48. | |
by the end of the match It was flying and day yesterday but | :35:49. | :35:59. | |
hopefully... The experts tell us it's literally one day. Sally is at | :36:00. | :36:04. | |
Wimbledon this morning. Your indoors so hopefully they're not there, a | :36:05. | :36:09. | |
real problem yesterday in amongst a great day for the Brits? I tell you | :36:10. | :36:13. | |
what, where we are this morning and were Carol and I have been for the | :36:14. | :36:17. | |
last half an hour or so, no flying ants, no flying and would dare come | :36:18. | :36:22. | |
in here, this is the heart of Wimbledon where we see the players | :36:23. | :36:26. | |
come through for their matches, you can see the trophies. I want to give | :36:27. | :36:32. | |
you an indication of the feeling of history when you're in here. A bit | :36:33. | :36:39. | |
like being in a cathedral. Let me show you the gentlemen's singles | :36:40. | :36:43. | |
champions board, we've got Roger Federer, Djokovic, Andy Murray, but | :36:44. | :36:50. | |
look at this, Fred Perry, 35, 36, 34 as well. It's so poignant, you go | :36:51. | :36:55. | |
back and there are the gaps for the world wars. No play between 1939 and | :36:56. | :37:02. | |
1946. It gives you a sense of the years and years that people have | :37:03. | :37:07. | |
been coming here. The ladies' singles champions, very important | :37:08. | :37:12. | |
year for this lady, Miss Virginia Wade, her 1977 when, the 40th | :37:13. | :37:17. | |
anniversary of Virginia Wade winning the women's title at Wimbledon -- | :37:18. | :37:23. | |
victory. I want to walk you through to the last moment the players have | :37:24. | :37:27. | |
absolute privity before they go to Centre Court. You would have seen | :37:28. | :37:32. | |
this on the TV. Two of them standing here ready to go on. It's very | :37:33. | :37:38. | |
quiet, they walk out and everything changes. The air changes, it's a | :37:39. | :37:42. | |
different sound, you can probably hear the noises of people setting | :37:43. | :37:46. | |
up. What's happening right now while I'm talking to you, the covers are | :37:47. | :37:50. | |
coming off Centre Court. The players come around here, the crowd can't | :37:51. | :37:55. | |
see them yet, they can see the crowd. They walk around this corner | :37:56. | :38:01. | |
an my goodness, there the crowd is. Look at the scale of that, from that | :38:02. | :38:07. | |
quiet time inside to this, Centre Court. As you said, Charlie, it was | :38:08. | :38:11. | |
a brilliant day for the fans on centre court yesterday, they got to | :38:12. | :38:16. | |
see some amazing tennis. Joe Konta battled it out in three hours. She | :38:17. | :38:21. | |
had a wonderful Centre Court moment I think, she played brilliantly, she | :38:22. | :38:25. | |
needed three sets to beat the honour their kitsch but she made it to | :38:26. | :38:31. | |
round three for the first time -- Donna Vekic. | :38:32. | :38:35. | |
I am looking to compete at my best every single match I get to play. | :38:36. | :38:41. | |
to be a part of the events of the full two weeks but as you saw | :38:42. | :38:47. | |
out there, every single player here plays | :38:48. | :38:49. | |
Heather Watson was the first British player through, | :38:50. | :38:57. | |
she beat Anastasia Sevastova and faces the former world number | :38:58. | :39:00. | |
Aljaz Bedene also reached the third round for the first time | :39:01. | :39:04. | |
in his career, beating a good friend of his, | :39:05. | :39:06. | |
And last but definitely not least, Andy Murray's bid | :39:07. | :39:09. | |
for a third title is still on course, after an entertaining | :39:10. | :39:12. | |
but comfortable win over one of the game's great characters, | :39:13. | :39:15. | |
I concentrated quite well in my own service games, | :39:16. | :39:21. | |
which is positive, and put a lot of returns | :39:22. | :39:23. | |
I think that was very positive today. | :39:24. | :39:27. | |
I returned a little bit better and didn't give too many free points on | :39:28. | :39:33. | |
the serve. It's been a good start and hopefully keep it going. | :39:34. | :39:36. | |
He's looking OK, Andy Murray. And as they continue to take the covers | :39:37. | :39:44. | |
off... You might remember these | :39:45. | :39:48. | |
pictures from yesterday, Jack Sock's Wimbledon towel | :39:49. | :39:50. | |
being snatched out of the hands Well, the good news is the youngster | :39:51. | :39:53. | |
has been tracked down after a social media hunt, and Jack has sent him | :39:54. | :39:59. | |
a new towel in the post! In other sport, the British | :40:00. | :40:02. | |
and Irish Lions have named an unchanged side for their deciding | :40:03. | :40:05. | |
test with New Zealand on Saturday. It's the first time they've | :40:06. | :40:08. | |
done that since 1993. Chris Froome has taken the overall | :40:09. | :40:11. | |
lead in the Tour de France. He finished third on stage five | :40:12. | :40:14. | |
to overtake Sky team-mate And Tammy Beaumont and Sarah Taylor | :40:15. | :40:17. | |
both hit centuries as England's cricketers moved a step | :40:18. | :40:23. | |
closer to the semi-finals of the Later this morning, the England's | :40:24. | :40:25. | |
men take on South Africa at Lord's in the first of four Test matches | :40:26. | :40:39. | |
under new captain Joe Root, We can talk now to former England | :40:40. | :40:43. | |
fast bowler Steve Harmison, Good morning to you, Steve. Good | :40:44. | :40:55. | |
morning. How does Joe Root approach this? I know everyone is telling him | :40:56. | :40:59. | |
to be himself, what can he bring today? When you change the captaincy | :41:00. | :41:04. | |
you get a little bit of an energy and a new boost as a team, a spring | :41:05. | :41:08. | |
in their step and that's what Joe brings, that's the way he's lived | :41:09. | :41:12. | |
his life to be fair, please play cricket with a smile on his face and | :41:13. | :41:16. | |
I don't see Joe being different to the way he has been for the first | :41:17. | :41:21. | |
part of his career when he was just a batsmen and team member, now he's | :41:22. | :41:25. | |
in charge there more onus on him to be more authoritative but I can | :41:26. | :41:28. | |
still see this team going about their ways in a relaxed manner and I | :41:29. | :41:32. | |
think that's indicative to their captain. We hear a lot from | :41:33. | :41:40. | |
cricketers about the pressures of cricket and playing for England, can | :41:41. | :41:43. | |
you give us some insight into what type of pressure they face? There's | :41:44. | :41:49. | |
a wide range of emotion especially with cricket because of the length | :41:50. | :41:53. | |
of the match, which is obviously five days, and the length of the | :41:54. | :41:57. | |
day, which potentially by the time you've left breakfast and left the | :41:58. | :42:02. | |
hotel, you're looking at seven or eight hours of constantly thinking | :42:03. | :42:05. | |
about what you're trying to do and beat your opponent. It's all mental | :42:06. | :42:15. | |
to be fair. The game of cricket, the mental approach, if you get that | :42:16. | :42:19. | |
right, that's the difference between the good and the great, Joe as | :42:20. | :42:26. | |
captain, when the team is doing well and when the team isn't doing well, | :42:27. | :42:30. | |
it's the emotions and he has to manage that. It's a difficult game | :42:31. | :42:34. | |
mentally but that's the difference between the good and the great, the | :42:35. | :42:40. | |
great control those emotions because when you play the first Test match | :42:41. | :42:44. | |
at Lord's, it's always a great event to play in but it comes with the | :42:45. | :42:48. | |
added pressure, especially from the opposition, it seems to lift them. | :42:49. | :42:54. | |
Footballers want to play at the home of football, Wembley Stadium, | :42:55. | :42:57. | |
opposition teams come to Lord's and they really raise their game and | :42:58. | :43:00. | |
that's the test England have got this morning. A scary thought, | :43:01. | :43:06. | |
Steve, thank you very much indeed. Wouldn't that be great, if we could | :43:07. | :43:11. | |
all control our fears and our nerves and our emotions? A lot of that has | :43:12. | :43:15. | |
got to happen here today. I should mention that coverage of the cricket | :43:16. | :43:22. | |
is on Radio 5 Live with Test match Special on radio and online through | :43:23. | :43:24. | |
the day. Thanks very much, see you later in | :43:25. | :43:26. | |
the programme. We are concentrating on times tables | :43:27. | :43:36. | |
now, remember learning them in a certain way? I didn't enjoy it very | :43:37. | :43:38. | |
much. like it was quite a gig, | :43:39. | :43:42. | |
Tim? Good morning from one of more buying | :43:43. | :43:52. | |
100 schools that took part yesterday in an extraordinary event designed | :43:53. | :43:55. | |
to make times tables as interesting and exciting as possible. Is that | :43:56. | :44:01. | |
possible? You know what, once they demonstrate their times tables | :44:02. | :44:04. | |
skills, let's have a look at what happened yesterday. | :44:05. | :44:12. | |
Egg guitar? Rockstar photo shoots? -- air. And times tables. Rarely | :44:13. | :44:25. | |
combined but this event is greater than the sum of its parts. They are | :44:26. | :44:30. | |
fighting it out in a series of head to head rounds to become crowned the | :44:31. | :44:33. | |
supreme ultimate rock hero for eternity. Jazz Winter is the rock | :44:34. | :44:42. | |
alter ego of maths teacher Bruneau ready, he created times table Rock | :44:43. | :44:46. | |
stars, which is now used in 5000 schools across the UK. Via a | :44:47. | :44:52. | |
rockstar persona, pupils engage in a maths battle. This is the regional | :44:53. | :44:56. | |
final for the north-east of England, 50 schools are taking part. We've | :44:57. | :45:00. | |
been practising for seven months waiting for this competition. You | :45:01. | :45:04. | |
practise your times tables at the same time and it's really fun. It | :45:05. | :45:07. | |
pushes me to get quicker and quicker. Some people say you don't | :45:08. | :45:12. | |
need to learn your times tables, their old-fashioned and boring, what | :45:13. | :45:17. | |
do you make that? 60% of maths GCSE can be taken back to times tables, | :45:18. | :45:24. | |
for the pupils it's just fun, they're lost in the element of being | :45:25. | :45:28. | |
a rock star. I was bad at maths in, like, Year 5 but now I've really | :45:29. | :45:32. | |
improved. And the whole rock thing really helps as well? Yeah. Why's | :45:33. | :45:37. | |
that? Because it creates inspiration. The last qualifying | :45:38. | :45:41. | |
round is over, it's time for the Grand Final. Nabil correctly | :45:42. | :45:49. | |
answered a staggering 35 questions in three minutes. You won, how did | :45:50. | :45:56. | |
you feel? Excellent, my family's going to be proud. The prize is | :45:57. | :46:01. | |
waiting outside, a helicopter ride above leads. What impact do you hope | :46:02. | :46:06. | |
this has? I hope Nabil's incredible performance today inspires children | :46:07. | :46:12. | |
in this school and around the region to be incredible mathematicians. | :46:13. | :46:13. | |
Excellent! For those about to do their times | :46:14. | :46:24. | |
tables, we salute you. You love timetables, don't you? Why are they | :46:25. | :46:29. | |
so important? We adore times tables at parklands. It is enhanced by the | :46:30. | :46:34. | |
great work of times table Rock stars, it is so important, the | :46:35. | :46:39. | |
entire school has turned out to see how we see ourselves as one of the | :46:40. | :46:43. | |
quickest in Britain. The rockstar thing is kind of an online thing, | :46:44. | :46:47. | |
but it is also important to do them verbally, and it is not just doing | :46:48. | :46:51. | |
the times table, but doing the sum and my nursing at from 100. You are | :46:52. | :47:02. | |
going to demonstrate. 12 times 12. 144. Six times eight. 48. So you are | :47:03. | :47:12. | |
doing the sum and subtracting it from 100. I have been asked to have | :47:13. | :47:21. | |
a go myself. Seven times eight. 44. Not quite as fast. Six times three. | :47:22. | :47:33. | |
18, 18 from 100 years... 82. Practice makes perfect. I will | :47:34. | :47:40. | |
challenge you to here. Eight times eight. 36. I think it is fair to say | :47:41. | :47:53. | |
you are faster, congratulations. I saw you at the event yesterday. | :47:54. | :47:57. | |
Combining rock and times tables, whoever thought that would happen? | :47:58. | :48:01. | |
And a special mention to our youngest grand champion. This is | :48:02. | :48:06. | |
Tyler, the quickest in the world. I want you to is say your three times | :48:07. | :48:12. | |
tables as quick as you can. And slower for the viewers at home. What | :48:13. | :48:23. | |
is nine times three. 27. Five times three. Well, that is 15. That is | :48:24. | :48:31. | |
very impressive, that is what that is. And why should people worry | :48:32. | :48:36. | |
about times tables? As soon as you have your times tables, all the | :48:37. | :48:41. | |
things children struggle with, division, fractions, become easy and | :48:42. | :48:47. | |
straightforward. And last week 25 of the students got full marks in | :48:48. | :48:51. | |
arithmetic paper. And at the event we saw yesterday, there are other | :48:52. | :48:55. | |
events happening across the UK this week and next week in Bolton, | :48:56. | :49:01. | |
Birmingham and London as well. So yes, inspirational, and I am being | :49:02. | :49:05. | |
put to shame, I think it is fair to say. Thank you very much, and good | :49:06. | :49:11. | |
on you for giving it a try. Tyler is the star, whenever we go to a | :49:12. | :49:17. | |
school, there is always a star, and Tyler is the star. And Carol, we are | :49:18. | :49:24. | |
not going to test you and your times tables at all, but we want some | :49:25. | :49:27. | |
numbers, some big numbers, perhaps, when it comes to the temperatures. | :49:28. | :49:33. | |
They certainly are in this forecast, and another big number behind me. | :49:34. | :49:37. | |
1977 was when Virginia Wade won the ladies singles championships at | :49:38. | :49:43. | |
Wimbledon. Her 40th anniversary this year, and also the Centenary of the | :49:44. | :49:47. | |
championships and the Queen's Silver Jubilee, and she was watching that | :49:48. | :49:51. | |
spectacular wind from the Royal box. Big numbers certainly in the | :49:52. | :49:55. | |
forecast, and also for Wimbledon. The forecast for Wimbledon today is | :49:56. | :50:00. | |
a mixture, one of sunshine, but also there is the risk of some showers. | :50:01. | :50:04. | |
Showers this morning, into the early afternoon, and then at risk | :50:05. | :50:08. | |
diminishes. But it doesn't completely clear. We could still see | :50:09. | :50:11. | |
the odd rumble of thunder and lightning as we head home during the | :50:12. | :50:16. | |
course of the afternoon. Temperatures up to 30 Celsius. Today | :50:17. | :50:20. | |
the forecast for the UK is one of some thunderstorms, and again, warm | :50:21. | :50:24. | |
or humid depending on where you are. Across southern England, we have got | :50:25. | :50:28. | |
some sunshine. There is quite a bit of cloud as well, and some of the | :50:29. | :50:33. | |
showers could be thundery. As we drift into northern England it is a | :50:34. | :50:36. | |
similar story. The risk of the odd rumble of thunder, the precursors to | :50:37. | :50:40. | |
what is coming later. For Scotland, rain crossing from the west towards | :50:41. | :50:45. | |
the north-east. One or two showers in the morning, but largely dry, and | :50:46. | :50:50. | |
dry across Wales as well. In the south-west, although there is a fair | :50:51. | :50:55. | |
bit of sunshine, around the coast it will be cloudy and that is holding | :50:56. | :50:58. | |
the temperatures back. As we move from Bristol towards the Home | :50:59. | :51:02. | |
Counties, similar to what we have at Wimbledon, some sunshine but still | :51:03. | :51:05. | |
some cloud around in the risk of the odd shower. Through the course of | :51:06. | :51:09. | |
the day, as temperatures rise, the risk of thunderstorms increases to | :51:10. | :51:12. | |
intense thunderstorms across East Wales, the Midlands and northern | :51:13. | :51:15. | |
England. They are not going to be everywhere, they will be hit and | :51:16. | :51:18. | |
miss. You might mist them all together and have a dry, sunny and | :51:19. | :51:23. | |
warm day. Further south there is the risk of them. Meanwhile across | :51:24. | :51:30. | |
Scotland, the rain is more showery. As we head into the evening and | :51:31. | :51:33. | |
overnight, we eventually see the back edge of those thunderstorms | :51:34. | :51:36. | |
pushing off into the North Sea. There will be a lot of dry weather | :51:37. | :51:40. | |
around and a weather front coming across western Scotland which will | :51:41. | :51:43. | |
introduce some rain. Temperature-wise, 12 to about 18. | :51:44. | :51:48. | |
Where you have 18, again, it will be a muddy night. Tomorrow we start off | :51:49. | :51:52. | |
on a dry note for many. The rain across Scotland will continue the | :51:53. | :51:55. | |
journey southwards through the course of the day, that weather | :51:56. | :51:58. | |
front weakening all the time, producing by the end of the | :51:59. | :52:01. | |
afternoon a band of cloud and some patchy rain. Behind it you may see | :52:02. | :52:06. | |
the old shower, but a lot of dry weather. One thing you will notice, | :52:07. | :52:19. | |
where it has been so hot across England and Wales, it will be | :52:20. | :52:22. | |
fresher, except in the south-east where we hang on to those high | :52:23. | :52:25. | |
levels. For Saturday we start off with some rain across Wales, the | :52:26. | :52:28. | |
Midlands and northern England. That band tends to fragment through the | :52:29. | :52:32. | |
day, and for many of us there will be a lot of dry weather around. | :52:33. | :52:36. | |
Again, a fresher fields except in the south-east where we hang on to | :52:37. | :52:39. | |
the high humidity and high temperatures for one more day. That | :52:40. | :52:43. | |
is how it is looking for now. Is that your helicopter arriving? I | :52:44. | :52:46. | |
would love to say it is, but it is not. It is somebody blowing the | :52:47. | :52:50. | |
sidelines. Why do we have these in our hands? To demonstrate something. | :52:51. | :52:53. | |
At Wimbledon, we are used to tennis balls being this colour. | :52:54. | :52:56. | |
But they very nearly looked like this, instead, | :52:57. | :52:58. | |
and it is all down to what worked best for colour TV. | :52:59. | :53:02. | |
It has been 50 years since colour television began with coverage | :53:03. | :53:05. | |
of Wimbledon, and it was all down to the personal ambition of one man | :53:06. | :53:08. | |
He has been speaking exclusively to Breakfast's Graham Satchell. | :53:09. | :53:15. | |
Lillian Gish, what made you decide to become an actress? | :53:16. | :53:18. | |
Late-night line-up 1967, and the BBC was running an experiment. | :53:19. | :53:21. | |
While the rest of the country was watching black-and-white, | :53:22. | :53:24. | |
There were two - two prototype colour television receivers. | :53:25. | :53:28. | |
One of them belonged to the chief engineer of the BBC, | :53:29. | :53:31. | |
and the other was mine, and they were the size | :53:32. | :53:33. | |
Sir David Attenborough, then controller of BBC Two, | :53:34. | :53:42. | |
one of the channels to be the first in Europe to go colour. | :53:43. | :53:46. | |
We knew that we were running a race with Germany, | :53:47. | :53:49. | |
and in a rather childish way, I thought it would be | :53:50. | :53:51. | |
And it occurred to me than that two broadcast units were enough to give | :53:52. | :53:56. | |
you a continuous service from Wimbledon. | :53:57. | :53:58. | |
It is not the first time Wimbledon offered an opportunity. | :53:59. | :54:07. | |
80 years ago, it was the first sport to be broadcast live on television. | :54:08. | :54:11. | |
This year also sees the 90th anniversary of radio commentaries. | :54:12. | :54:14. | |
And then, 50 years ago, this - the first colour television in | :54:15. | :54:17. | |
It was like, you know, a sudden new world of brilliant | :54:18. | :54:24. | |
colour, and everything that you only saw if you went there to the event | :54:25. | :54:28. | |
was here before your eyes, and that was wonderful. | :54:29. | :54:37. | |
John Barrett, the voice of tennis commentary for more than 30 years. | :54:38. | :54:40. | |
In 1967, he was still playing, but remembers the introduction | :54:41. | :54:43. | |
of colour TV well, and its impact on Wimbledon. | :54:44. | :54:51. | |
The colour of the balls used to be white. | :54:52. | :54:53. | |
They had a day here, which I remember well, | :54:54. | :54:56. | |
when they were testing all sorts of new colours. | :54:57. | :54:58. | |
And, after a number of colours were tested, including pink, | :54:59. | :55:01. | |
yellow was found to be the most easily discernible | :55:02. | :55:03. | |
It doesn't feel right, does it - pink! | :55:04. | :55:10. | |
There is the trophy going back to Australia. | :55:11. | :55:12. | |
The trophy presented on court to the winning man used to be this, | :55:13. | :55:17. | |
Today they get the Challenge Cup, because it looks better | :55:18. | :55:22. | |
So what does the man who introduced colour make of his achievement? | :55:23. | :55:28. | |
We had guests in every evening, and it was a wonder. | :55:29. | :55:33. | |
The problem was, on the first set there was a thing called the tint | :55:34. | :55:37. | |
control, and viewers would wind up the tint, | :55:38. | :55:39. | |
so that the skies were throbbing ultramarine, the greens | :55:40. | :55:46. | |
Hard to imagine, today, a world without colour television, | :55:47. | :56:04. | |
that all started here on centre court 50 years ago. | :56:05. | :56:18. | |
Isn't it fascinating? I think it is brilliant. And the colour of the | :56:19. | :56:25. | |
grass as well, quite different. I think it was different then. I do | :56:26. | :56:29. | |
think it was slightly different. I believe they have taken gullible out | :56:30. | :56:33. | |
of the dictionary! There were some days in the old days of Wimbledon | :56:34. | :56:38. | |
when the grass was incredibly pale and almost worn away completely. It | :56:39. | :56:42. | |
seems to be that there is more grass. | :56:43. | :00:03. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast, with Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt. | :00:04. | :00:10. | |
One year on, the chairman of the Iraq Inquiry tells the BBC | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
that Tony Blair has "failed to be straight with the nation." | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
In his first interview, Sir John Chilcot says the evidence | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
the former Prime Minister gave was "emotionally truthful", | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
but suggested that he relied on his own belief rather | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
Any Prime Minister taking a country into war has got to be straight | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
with the nation and carry it, so far as possible, with him or her. | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
I don't believe that was the case in the Iraq instance. | :00:35. | :00:51. | |
Also this morning: A quarter of care homes in England | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
are not safe enough - that's the verdict of a damning | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
Reckless and irresponsible - America's ambassador to the UN | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
Ben will be talking to a number of entrepreneurs. Sally is at | :01:06. | :01:27. | |
Wimbledon. In sport, four British players | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
are through to the third round at Wimbledon for the first | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
time in 20 years. An emotional Johanna Konta battled | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
it out for more than three hours as she joined Andy Murray, | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
Aljaz Bedene and Heather And we'll find out what happened | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
when Andy turned the tables on Charlie in our Game, | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
Set and Mug challenge. And weather-wise, we are looking at | :01:48. | :02:02. | |
a largely dry day, but there is a risk of showers in Wimbledon in the | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
early morning into the afternoon. That risk then diminishes. And for | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
the UK as a whole, there will be a lot of dry weather, some rain in | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
Scotland and some intense thunderstorms later. I will tell you | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
where when we are back. One year on from the inquiry | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
into the Iraq War, the man who carried it out has, | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
for the first time, given his Sir John Chilcot told | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
the BBC that he believes the former Prime Minister, | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
Tony Blair, was not "straight with the nation" about the decisions | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
made in the run-up to war, which many now regard | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
as one of the UK's biggest Do you believe that | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
Tony Blair was as straight with you and the public as he ought | :02:40. | :02:53. | |
to have been? Can I slightly reword that to say | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
I think any Prime Minister taking a country into war has got to be | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
straight with the nation and carry it, so far | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
as possible, with him or her. I don't believe that was the case | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
in the Iraq instance. Do you feel he gave | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
you the fullest version of events? I hesitate to say this, rather, | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
but I think from his perspective and standpoint, it was emotionally | :03:18. | :03:26. | |
truthful, and I think that came out also in his press conference | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
after the launch statement. I think he was under very | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
great emotional pressure during those sessions, | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
far more than the committee were. In that state of mind and mood, | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
you fall back on your instinctive skills and reactions, | :03:44. | :03:51. | |
I think. But he was relying, you suggest, | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
on emotion, not fact. Our political correspondent Leila | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
Nathoo is in Westminster for us. There is no greater decision a Prime | :04:02. | :04:17. | |
Minister takes than taking a nation to war. The inquiry was intense. | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
Tell us about the significance of what has been said by Sir John | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
Chilcot and also about what Tony Blair has said in response? This the | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
first time we are hearing Sir John's reflections on that seven-year | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
process, wading through all of that testimony he heard, all of those | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
documents, in trying to learn the lessons from the Iraq war, which for | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
many people still so controversial, the fact that there were no weapons | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
of mass destruction discovered in Iraq, despite that being the central | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
argument for going in, the fact that Iraq descended into chaos after the | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
invasion. Remember, some of the conclusions that Sir John Chilcot | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
gave last year, that the UK had not exhausted peaceful options for | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
disarming Saddam Hussein before going into war and that the policy | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
was made on the basis of flawed intelligence. Sir John Chilcot did | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
not at the time accused Tony Blair of having lied or having misled the | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
British public, but the comments today that Tony Blair was not | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
straight with the nation will provide some ammunition to those who | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
believe still that he did. A spokesperson for Tony Blair has | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
referred us to the comments he made at the time in a lengthy press | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
conference he gave after the publication of the Chilcot report | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
last year, saying that he accepted the criticism but he had no | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
intention, there were no lies, there was no intention to deceive and he | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
did what he thought was best at the time and he made that decision in | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
good faith. It is worth adding that for some people, it will feel like | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
we are going over old ground, that this has been discussed many times | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
before. But for many others, it is still a very live issue. | :06:04. | :06:04. | |
A quarter of adult care services in England are not safe enough, | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
A report by the Care Quality Commission says most care homes, | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
nursing homes and home care services are good, but too many | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
Among the issues raised by the care regulator were people not getting | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
enough to eat and drink, and not being given | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
A warning - there are some distressing images in this report | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
from our social affairs correspondent, Alison Holt. | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
Bernie Jarvis carefully gives her mother lunch. | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
The front room of the family's Birmingham home has become | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
They want her close by after discovering the sort | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
of poor care highlighted in today's report. | :06:45. | :06:46. | |
Betty, who has dementia and heart problems, was in a nursing home. | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
The family had concerns, so put in a secret camera. | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
It soon showed a care worker pushing the chair Betty was slumped in | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
Then when Betty objects to her top being changed, | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
her head is slammed back into the chair. | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
Last February in court, the care worker accepted her | :07:06. | :07:16. | |
actions were reckless rather than intentional. | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
She was given a 12 month community order. | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
Because they did with us for about eight months, | :07:23. | :07:33. | |
and I wish we had pursued it a lot quicker than we did, | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
because Mum probably wouldn't have suffered the way she did. | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
Today's report by inspectors says most care in England | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
Even so, a quarter of all services including home care and residential | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
homes failed on safety, and 37% of nursing homes | :07:49. | :07:50. | |
Also, when reinspected, quality of care in some good | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
What we are seeing in these services that are deteriorating is how | :07:58. | :08:07. | |
fragile and precarious quality of adult social care is. | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
That's the reason why we have to make sure that everybody | :08:11. | :08:12. | |
Providers have got to focus on that, and commissioners and funders have | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
to make sure funding is available to ensure that people get | :08:18. | :08:19. | |
The Government says the poor care experienced by some families | :08:20. | :08:27. | |
is completely unacceptable, and that as well as putting in more | :08:28. | :08:29. | |
money, it will be consulting on how to play social care on a more secure | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
The US Ambassador to the United Nations has described | :08:35. | :08:45. | |
North Korea's latest missile test as "a clear and sharp | :08:46. | :08:47. | |
It has been confirmed that the intercontinental ballistic | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
missile fired by North Korea for the first time could have | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
a range of more than 3,000 miles - meaning it could reach Alaska. | :08:54. | :09:03. | |
Yesterday's actions by North Korea made the world a more dangerous | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
place. There illegal missile launch was not only dangerous, but reckless | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
and irresponsible. It showed that North Korea does not want to be part | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
of peaceful world. President Trump has | :09:16. | :09:16. | |
arrived in Poland ahead He's due to make a keynote address | :09:17. | :09:18. | |
to the crowds in Warsaw later today. Our correspondent Adam Easton | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
is live there now. Adam, we know what is going to | :09:24. | :09:34. | |
happen tomorrow, but this is all bearing in mind what is happening | :09:35. | :09:42. | |
with North Korea? Sorry, I didn't hear the question. Tummy is what we | :09:43. | :09:49. | |
should be expecting from Warsaw -- tell me what we should be exciting. | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
We have a summit in the castle you can see behind me, which is a dozen | :09:55. | :10:01. | |
central European leaders. President Trump is going to attend that. There | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
will be discussions about potential gas sales from the US to this region | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
of Europe, which is dependent on Russian gas imports, much of it. So | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
President Trump will be keen to talk about the prospect of some deals. | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
And once that summit is over and there have been bilateral meetings, | :10:21. | :10:22. | |
he will give this keynote address to the Polish nation in a square in | :10:23. | :10:29. | |
Warsaw, the first time President Trump has given a speech in Europe. | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
He has chosen Poland and it is no point at us because he knows he will | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
get a good reception that. -- it is no coincidence. He can show he has | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
loyal allies in this part of Europe, and the Polish government can save, | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
look, we are not isolated. We may be in a dispute with the European | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
Union, but the leader of the most powerful nation in the world has | :10:52. | :10:53. | |
come to give his keynote speech here with us today. Adam, thanks. | :10:54. | :11:02. | |
Those are the main stories. We have the weather and the sport coming up. | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
The plight of 11-month old Charlie Gard, who has | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
an extremely rare genetic disease, has made headlines across the globe. | :11:12. | :11:19. | |
In the last few days, his parents' desperate | :11:20. | :11:21. | |
on life support so they could seek treatment overseas has been | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
picked up by the Vatican and the American President Donald Trump. | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
We'll be discussing this in more detail in a moment, | :11:28. | :11:29. | |
but first let's take a look back at Charlie's story. | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
When he was born last August, Charlie Gard | :11:33. | :11:34. | |
But within weeks, he started to deteriorate. | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
Charlie has a rare genetic disease and severe brain damage. | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
Since October, he's been receiving specialist treatment | :11:45. | :11:46. | |
at London's Great Ormond Street Hospital. | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
In March, doctors advised that Charlie's life support | :11:52. | :11:52. | |
His parents, Connie Yates and Chris Gard, | :11:53. | :11:59. | |
They raised ?1.3 million through crowdfunding to pay | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
for experimental treatment in the US. | :12:03. | :12:10. | |
Last week, his parents lost the last stage of their legal battle | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
when the European Court of Human Rights refused | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
to intervene, concluding that Charlie was most likely | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
being exposed to continued pain, suffering and distress, | :12:24. | :12:24. | |
and that undergoing experimental treatment with no prospects | :12:25. | :12:26. | |
His parents say the hospital has denied them their final wish - | :12:27. | :12:34. | |
We want to put him in the cot he's never slept in. | :12:35. | :12:47. | |
Great Ormond Street said they could not discuss details | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
His plight has gained worldwide attention. | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
On Monday, both US President Donald Trump and Pope Francis | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
A children's hospital in the Vatican has asked if Charlie can be | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
The Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, however, said it was impossible | :13:04. | :13:10. | |
She's a Lecturer in Child Law and Medical Ethics at | :13:11. | :13:19. | |
It is such a difficult story, and everyone's thoughts are with | :13:20. | :13:32. | |
Charlie's parents. It's an impossible situation for them. You | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
are here to help clarify some of the realities. Take us through some of | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
the basics. For example, a lot of people are asking, why is it that | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
Charlie's parents can't take him out of the hospital? Establish that for | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
us in terms of the situation they are in. This points to a really | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
difficult tension, where we have the parents' writes on the one hand, and | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
the advice of the medical professionals. A lot of people are | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
saying, why can't the parents just do what they want and take him out | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
of the country? Where there is a dispute like this, the only way | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
forward is legal intervention. It was clear in this case that there | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
was not going to be an agreement between Charlie's parents and the | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
medical professionals, so this had to go to the courts and we found out | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
what was lawful. The way this is approached by the courts is to look | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
at what is in the best interests of the child. The welfare of the child | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
is always the paramount consideration. Sometimes, that does | :14:38. | :14:44. | |
conflict with what the parents want. And the doctors need to know what | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
they can do, because they don't want to do something that is unlawful. | :14:48. | :14:54. | |
But it comes down to an element of what risks or what chances you are | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
willing to take. The parents are saying they have been offered help | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
by the Vatican and offered medical help. They have been offered help | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
from the United States. They say they have the funding, but the | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
doctors are saying it is not in his interests and it is not probable | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
that his condition will improve. Many parents will be saying, we | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
should have the right to try our hardest to keep our child alive and | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
improve his quality-of-life. When does that come down to doctors and | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
not parents who are saying, we have been given medical opportunities? | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
A lot of parents at home will be thinking that they would do exactly | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
the same as Charlie's parents. I would want it to be my choice and | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
final say over what should happen. But when we are hearing from medical | :15:43. | :15:49. | |
experts, some of the best in the world, and we have heard from the | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
courts as well, we have gone through all of the courts possible. We have | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
gone through all of the UK courts and also the European Court of Human | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
Rights, who have all agreed and been unanimous that the best thing for | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
Charlie is for his treatment to be withdrawn. What is interesting about | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
this case is the attention that it has got globally, over the last few | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
days. Charlie's treatment was supposed to be withdrawn last week, | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
but now we are starting to hear from really prominent figures such as | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
Donald Trump and the Pope. They have all made comments and said they want | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
to help. But it has come after a decision from the European courts. | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
It is worth emphasising that. Once the court has become involved and | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
made their judgment, it precludes great Ormond Street from making any | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
comment or having any other decision. They can't make a decision | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
because the court has taken that decision away from them? Absolutely, | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
once the court has made the decision, that is fairly final. | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
Unless there is a change in Charlie's circumstances, which would | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
dictate that his best interests might be different. At that point, | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
maybe the doctors could advise differently. At the moment, we have | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
been told his condition is quite stable. The outcome seems to be the | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
same at the moment, that it is in his best interests for the treatment | :17:17. | :17:24. | |
to be withdrawn, sadly. Nobody can imagine what Charlie Gard's parents | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
are going through, and their immediate family as well. But it has | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
been quite interesting to hear how the hospital has reacted to the | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
parents. This time last week, we were talking about life support | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
being taken away from Charlie Gard and the parents being upset they | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
were not getting a say in that. Now the hospital is making it clear it | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
is working with the family to come to the least painful resolution. How | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
much do we know about how much they can negotiate between each other, | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
while they have this umbrella, the idea of the court having made its | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
judgment? That is really tough. We heard last week and in the YouTube | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
video that was released by the parents that there is some tension | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
between what is going to happen, towards the end of Charlie's life, | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
which it sadly looks like it is going to come to. They said they | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
wanted to take Charlie home to die, and Great Ormond Street Hospital | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
have said it is not in his best interests. The parents are saying | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
that is their final wish, and we were assured that if it was going to | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
come to this, that was something that we are going to be able to have | :18:34. | :18:41. | |
happened. They feel like their final wish has been taken away from them. | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
The reports that we have had so far are that they are trying to work | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
with the family in the best way possible. It's tough, because it's | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
been going on for quite a few days now, almost a week, past the initial | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
date where the treatment was going to be withdrawn. Thank you very much | :19:02. | :19:03. | |
for your time this morning. We are going to pop over to | :19:04. | :19:15. | |
Wimbledon. Carol is taking a look at the weather. You have been given | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
access all areas. We have seen the trophy room, where the players walk | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
out to centre court and now you are where the action takes place? | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
We are in Centre Court once again, being trimmed by Rick, with his lawn | :19:28. | :19:34. | |
mower. That brings me to pollen. If you have an allergy, the levels are | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
high or very high across Northern Ireland, England and Wales. For | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
Scotland, mostly moderate, except in the north, where it is low. A warm | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
start today more less across-the-board. Temperatures at | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
Wimbledon already at 22 Celsius and set to rise as we go through the | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
day, up to as much as 30 Celsius. For much of southern England and | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
Wales, we are looking at that kind of level. For most of England and | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
Wales, it is from the mid-20s to the high 20s. A look at the forecast for | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
Wimbledon itself, and there will be a lot of dry weather today. There | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
will be a lot of sunshine. It will be hot and humid. However, there is | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
the chance of a shower until early afternoon. Doesn't mean we will | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
catch it, but there is a. It diminishes as we head through the | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
day. If we look through the forecast, there are some showers | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
around this morning. They could be thundery. There was a lot of dry | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
weather, but there is rain in Scotland. That will push north | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
eastwards as we go through the day. For Northern Ireland, a largely dry | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
start with one or two showers. For Wales and south-west England, a lot | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
of dry weather. There is some coastal low cloud across the | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
south-west that will hold temperatures back. As we crossed | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
southern counties, one or two areas which could be showery. As | :20:53. | :21:01. | |
temperatures rise, the intense thundery downpours will develop. | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
Anywhere from East Wales, the Midlands and into northern England. | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
They will have hail embedded in them, but hit and miss. Not all of | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
us will see them. Some thundery showers threatening Wimbledon later | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
on. They are also hit and miss. It is going to be hot and humid across | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
England and Wales. For Scotland and Northern Ireland, we have something | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
a little bit fresher. The rain in Scotland is replaced by some | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
showers, staying largely dry across Northern Ireland. To the evening and | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
overnight we lose thundery showers into the North Sea. A weather front | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
starts to show its hand across western Scotland, introducing some | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
rain. Temperatures 12 or 18, another sticky night in the south. Tomorrow, | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
we start with a weather front across north-west Scotland. Through the day | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
it will move steadily south eastwards, at a weakening feature. | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
The cloud breaking up, the rain turning more patchy. Away from that, | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
most of us will stay dry. It is going to feel fresher across the | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
bulk of England and Wales, compared to today. For the south-east, it is | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
still going to be hot and humid. For Scotland and Northern Ireland, | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
temperatures similar to today. As we head into Saturday, we have a line | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
of rain across parts of Wales, the Midlands and northern England. That | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
will crumble as we go through the day. We are looking at a mostly dry | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
day, by a few showers where we had the rain to start with. Fresher, | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
except for the south-east, where we had the last day of the very high | :22:25. | :22:26. | |
temperatures. At least we have that sunshine. I | :22:27. | :22:34. | |
love seeing the preparation behind! They are busy. Put in the stripes | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
in, making sure the seats are clean. Perhaps weather could join in. | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
We're going to go to Ben, who is going to introduce us to the | :22:46. | :22:52. | |
entrepreneurs of the future. Welcome to the South Bank in central London | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
for the final of the Young Entrepreneur Of The Year Award. | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
20,000 students have taken part. It has been whittled down to 14 teams. | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
I've been meeting them all morning, looking at the ideas they have come | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
up with. It is really impressive. Lots of it is using new technology, | :23:09. | :23:14. | |
but some of it old technology and new ways. Let's talk to Ellie. What | :23:15. | :23:20. | |
did you come up with? We wanted to go with a product that was | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
completely about safety. We decided to manufacture the products | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
ourselves. It is an insole with a small compartment at the bottom and | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
can fit any standard housekeeper or money. The idea is that if you are | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
short of money or your house key, you can catch a taxi home or get | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
home safely. How did you come up with the idea? I imagine it is a | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
process of elimination, thinking of ideas, getting rid of them and | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
coming up with a new one? Definitely, finding a product that | :23:49. | :23:50. | |
was innovative and not on the market was very difficult. We trialled | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
several products, we disregarded a few. One of our team members, he was | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
short of money and he had said, why can't we create something where we | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
can have a house key or money in it. We decided that an insole would be | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
perfect, it is hidden and easy. Best of luck later. I know you have to do | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
the presentation. Let me introduce you to the guys on Team Weighing. It | :24:14. | :24:20. | |
looks wonderful, by the looks of it it is a children's book? Yes, the | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
children's book. We got together as a team and wrote Alfie's Adventure. | :24:25. | :24:31. | |
It follows him on his journey. He meets friends along the way and goes | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
into a large oak tree and help the animals that helped him. It sounds | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
like to be easy to do, a bit of writing and some pictures. But it is | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
anything but? There is so much, the font, the thickness of the pages, | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
the amount of words on the page and the plot itself. There are some way | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
things to think about. Best of luck. I know that you guys are presenting | :24:55. | :25:04. | |
it later. I want to introduce you to Nyan. You have been through this, | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
you were a contestant and candidate. What does it teach you? What did you | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
learn? You learn a lot, it develops your core employability skills, | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
confidence, resilience, leadership. For somebody lacking in confidence, | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
I was really shy, to take part in the programmer develop so much has | :25:26. | :25:28. | |
been a real challenge. For me to do that, it has been really inspiring. | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
You said about that lack of confidence. I imagine this makes you | :25:33. | :25:35. | |
come out of your shell because you got to do presentations, you have to | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
manage teams and budgets, you have to sell this stuff. Now you are at | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
university and it was a useful skill? Yes, absolutely. With the | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
core skills, I can use it in every aspect of my life, job interview, | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
seminar presentation. It is useful in every walk of life. I am able to | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
be a lot more proactive and take on many more opportunities available to | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
me. A top tip for the teams present in? To remain positive. You are | :26:04. | :26:05. | |
going to go through a number of challenges today. To have a positive | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
mindset will allow you to win and bring you forward. Good advice! | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
Thank you very much. We have been meeting all of the teams this | :26:15. | :26:17. | |
morning. They have all been keen to explain what they do. Goodbye from | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
us down here, there is much more on the BBC News Channel. It is only | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
fair that we say goodbye to the teams. Goodbye, everyone! Goodbye! | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
Coming up in a moment on the BBC News Channel is Business Live. | :26:33. | :26:38. | |
Here on Breakfast let's have a look at the scene live | :26:39. | :26:41. | |
Mowing the lawn, getting it pristine. That is Centre Court? | :26:42. | :26:49. | |
Centre Court, last-minute preparations as we get ready for | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
another day of action. Great day yesterday for British tennis. All | :26:55. | :26:57. | |
other details later Carol has the weather. | :26:58. | :26:58. | |
Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. | :26:59. | :30:20. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty. | :30:21. | :30:32. | |
One year on from the inquiry into the Iraq War, the man | :30:33. | :30:35. | |
who chaired it has, for the first time, given his personal | :30:36. | :30:38. | |
Sir John Chilcot told the BBC that he believes | :30:39. | :30:43. | |
the former Prime Minister, Tony Blair, was not "straight | :30:44. | :30:46. | |
with the nation" about the decisions made in the run-up to war. | :30:47. | :30:49. | |
Do you believe that Tony Blair was as straight | :30:50. | :30:51. | |
with you and the public as he ought to have been? | :30:52. | :31:00. | |
Can I slightly reword that to say I think any Prime Minister taking | :31:01. | :31:04. | |
a country into war has got to be straight with the nation | :31:05. | :31:08. | |
and carry it so far as possible with him or her? | :31:09. | :31:12. | |
I don't believe that was the case in the Iraq instance. | :31:13. | :31:18. | |
A quarter of adult care services in England are not safe enough, | :31:19. | :31:21. | |
A report by the Care Quality Commission says most care homes, | :31:22. | :31:27. | |
nursing homes and home care services are good, but too many | :31:28. | :31:30. | |
The government said it would invest more money in social care. | :31:31. | :31:35. | |
Earlier the Chief Inspector told us the CQC had discovered | :31:36. | :31:38. | |
What we see in these homes, particularly in the worst homes, | :31:39. | :31:42. | |
and what we see in the care the people get in the community, | :31:43. | :31:45. | |
People rushed around not able to give the care | :31:46. | :31:49. | |
that they need to give, so people missing | :31:50. | :31:52. | |
their calls at home, not being given the medication | :31:53. | :31:54. | |
they need in a residential or nursing home, not being supported | :31:55. | :31:57. | |
to eat well enough, drink well enough. | :31:58. | :32:00. | |
And that's so important for their health and well-being. | :32:01. | :32:05. | |
The US Ambassador to the United Nations has described | :32:06. | :32:07. | |
North Korea's latest missile test as a clear and sharp | :32:08. | :32:10. | |
It has been confirmed that the intercontinental ballistic | :32:11. | :32:18. | |
missile fired by North Korea for the first time could | :32:19. | :32:21. | |
have a range of more than 3,000 miles meaning it could reach Alaska. | :32:22. | :32:25. | |
The risk of attacks on UK soil by supporters of the so-called | :32:26. | :32:29. | |
Islamic State group could increase as IS | :32:30. | :32:33. | |
continues to lose territory in the Middle East. | :32:34. | :32:35. | |
That's the warning from the Director of Public Prosecutions following BBC | :32:36. | :32:38. | |
News research which found that more than 100 people in the UK have now | :32:39. | :32:41. | |
been convicted of terror offences related to Iraq and Syria. | :32:42. | :32:51. | |
Over 100 people jailed for offences linked to so-called Islamic State. | :32:52. | :32:59. | |
The oldest a driving instructor of 63 from Luton, the youngest the | :33:00. | :33:04. | |
schoolboy from Blackburn, just 14 when he incited a terrorist act | :33:05. | :33:09. | |
overseas. A growing number of women and guards have been drawn in. The | :33:10. | :33:13. | |
thread which links them as support for a so called Islamic State and | :33:14. | :33:16. | |
the conflicts which have engulfed Syria and Iraq. Under constant | :33:17. | :33:22. | |
bombardment IS voters have suffered reverses and not of many of its | :33:23. | :33:25. | |
supporters been able to travel to the Middle East. The Director of | :33:26. | :33:30. | |
Public Prosecutions says that could increase the terrorist threat here. | :33:31. | :33:33. | |
We have to be aware that of people cannot go to Syria, we have seen us | :33:34. | :33:40. | |
on some of the cases we have prosecuted, they may plan an attack | :33:41. | :33:44. | |
here instead, or the me do more to radicalise other people to attack. | :33:45. | :33:50. | |
It is believed two of the three men who carried out the terror attack at | :33:51. | :33:53. | |
London Bridge in which eight people were killed had wanted to join | :33:54. | :33:59. | |
highest in Syria. This is the extremist preacher is one of the | :34:00. | :34:05. | |
most high-profile people to be convicted of terrorism in the past | :34:06. | :34:09. | |
year. Found guilty of inviting support for Islamic State. He may be | :34:10. | :34:14. | |
behind bars that the ideology he promoted has not been silenced. | :34:15. | :34:25. | |
The US Ambassador to the United Nations has described | :34:26. | :34:27. | |
North Korea's latest missile test as a clear and sharp | :34:28. | :34:29. | |
Sorry I've think we repeated one of the stories we had a moment ago. | :34:30. | :34:43. | |
There will be coverage of the G20 meeting throughout the day. | :34:44. | :34:47. | |
A task force will be sent to help run Kensington and Chelsea Council, | :34:48. | :34:50. | |
in the wake of the devastating fire which destroyed Grenfell Tower | :34:51. | :34:52. | |
It will take over the running of key services, after the council's | :34:53. | :34:57. | |
response to the disaster was heavily criticised. | :34:58. | :34:58. | |
Most of the families which lost their homes in the fire | :34:59. | :35:01. | |
are still living in hotels despite government pledges | :35:02. | :35:03. | |
At least 15 people are missing after widespread | :35:04. | :35:06. | |
flooding hit parts of Japan following unprecedented rainfall. | :35:07. | :35:09. | |
400,000 people have been forced from their homes after floodwaters | :35:10. | :35:14. | |
hit towns and villages on the main southern island of Kyushu. | :35:15. | :35:16. | |
Meteorologists are warning that the weather could worsen. | :35:17. | :35:20. | |
Japanese authorities have deployed police, | :35:21. | :35:24. | |
search and rescue teams and soldiers to the region. | :35:25. | :35:33. | |
Coming up here on Breakfast this morning: Ab Fab star Jane Horrocks | :35:34. | :35:36. | |
will be here to tell us how a chance discovery about her ancestors | :35:37. | :35:39. | |
on Who Do You Think You Are inspired her new drama | :35:40. | :35:42. | |
Tim's been rocking out with maths-mad school pupils to find | :35:43. | :35:51. | |
out the secret to becoming a whizz at your times tables. | :35:52. | :35:55. | |
Max Richter, the composer who wrote scores for | :35:56. | :35:59. | |
Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island and Tom Hardy's Taboo, | :36:00. | :36:01. | |
will be here to tell us how being bullied at school led to him | :36:02. | :36:05. | |
Is it true that flying ants only come out for one day? Yes. I have | :36:06. | :36:23. | |
witnessed that. There will be none today? In theory, no. One might have | :36:24. | :36:30. | |
skipped the net. Look at some of these amazing cameras. You had | :36:31. | :36:37. | |
tennis players in their matches in between points sorting them away. | :36:38. | :36:48. | |
Konta said she might have even swallowed one. What do you do? You | :36:49. | :36:57. | |
have much point. You take the point. Are they away? | :36:58. | :37:05. | |
I have just seen a flying ants. One just went past. They are not | :37:06. | :37:10. | |
completely gone. Did you see that? They are all over the place. Not as | :37:11. | :37:22. | |
bad as it was yesterday. It was a day of history yesterday. | :37:23. | :37:25. | |
Yesterday was a great day for British women's tennis | :37:26. | :37:27. | |
as Heather Watson and Jo Konta's wins mean two British | :37:28. | :37:30. | |
women are into the third round for first time since 1986. | :37:31. | :37:35. | |
Back then it was Jo Durie who held that honour and I'm pleased | :37:36. | :37:38. | |
It was a momentous day. Yes. We felt a surge of something is changing. It | :37:39. | :37:52. | |
is great to be talking about the Brits being successful here in | :37:53. | :37:57. | |
particular. Getting through to or three rounds and into next week. Who | :37:58. | :38:02. | |
knows with Konta? We could be talking about her next week. Let us | :38:03. | :38:12. | |
talk about Konta. I do not think up until this year she has really lost | :38:13. | :38:18. | |
Wimbledon that much. I think she has had a tricky time here previously | :38:19. | :38:21. | |
and probably feels the weight of expectation and pleasure quite | :38:22. | :38:25. | |
heavily on those shoulders. Something happened yesterday, it | :38:26. | :38:31. | |
shifted. It did. How did she win that much? Time after time on her | :38:32. | :38:37. | |
service games she came out with some amazing service to get herself out | :38:38. | :38:42. | |
of trouble. Some of the rallies they were having, the crowd were | :38:43. | :38:46. | |
fantastic. To come through something like that gives you so much | :38:47. | :38:51. | |
confidence. When you are out on Centre Court and expectation is | :38:52. | :38:56. | |
huge. I think the crowd were significant in her performance and | :38:57. | :39:02. | |
she acknowledged it, she felt the love. Possibly for the first time. | :39:03. | :39:11. | |
Probably. Maybe people do not really know all Konta that much. She has | :39:12. | :39:15. | |
not really won matches here before. She is going to be in the limelight. | :39:16. | :39:20. | |
People are going to be cheering her on. She has a chance. No Serena | :39:21. | :39:24. | |
Williams. You have got the big hitters. Venus Williams. In that mix | :39:25. | :39:33. | |
she has a chance. Also in the mixes Heather Watson who was bouncing. I | :39:34. | :39:38. | |
did her match yesterday. I am not surprised. This is her first week on | :39:39. | :39:49. | |
grass. She has put the work. -- fifth week. Swift heading. She | :39:50. | :39:55. | |
believes in herself. Distressing scenes, there was a moment when | :39:56. | :40:00. | |
Kvitova called the doctor on to court. She did not seem well. Hugely | :40:01. | :40:06. | |
disappointing she is out. She said she felt sick. But come on. Isn't it | :40:07. | :40:14. | |
amazing she is playing? The hand is OK. She is playing tennis again. | :40:15. | :40:20. | |
Give her another year. Next year she is going to be in the mix. We expect | :40:21. | :40:26. | |
so much of her. She cannot even make that hand into a 58. No. It is | :40:27. | :40:32. | |
incredible. She is still a little bit numb. I do not know how she | :40:33. | :40:37. | |
feels the grip. For me that there is everything, especially with drop | :40:38. | :40:43. | |
shots. Lots of people watching might not know much about Plishkova. Huge | :40:44. | :40:55. | |
there. She has the most aces on tour. She does that every year. She | :40:56. | :41:00. | |
has improved her movement is Beaujolais on grass. She is not just | :41:01. | :41:06. | |
going for big winners. She loves the grass. Watch out. Why has it taken | :41:07. | :41:15. | |
so long? Not that long, sorry. Why has it taken since 1986? What has | :41:16. | :41:23. | |
changed? It has been a long road of development and players coming | :41:24. | :41:27. | |
through. A lot more countries play tennis. There are a lot more players | :41:28. | :41:33. | |
than the mix. Very hard to get into the top 100. Once you are in there | :41:34. | :41:38. | |
and in the grand slams you have the opportunity but they do not come | :41:39. | :41:40. | |
around very often. The hard work you have to put in I am not sure | :41:41. | :41:46. | |
everybody knows that. They have to grab that opportunity because tennis | :41:47. | :41:49. | |
is only here for a little while in your life. Make good use of it. | :41:50. | :41:55. | |
Hopefully this batch of players who are doing well will inspire the | :41:56. | :42:00. | |
younger ones. Maybe. Maybe you might as well. Continuing to make tennis | :42:01. | :42:10. | |
year career, we will be on air today, coverage starting on BBC Two | :42:11. | :42:14. | |
at 11:30am. We also have coverage the website. | :42:15. | :42:21. | |
Years ago, a long time ago, 1970s, the grass used to be worse. It was | :42:22. | :42:27. | |
almost like a dust that sometimes, with no disrespects to the | :42:28. | :42:31. | |
groundsman in those days. The grass seems to be better nowadays. I will | :42:32. | :42:40. | |
ask because Joe cannot hear you. I think I agree with you. He thinks | :42:41. | :42:45. | |
the grass was not as good in the 1970s. I think he is right. I think | :42:46. | :42:51. | |
the grass is tougher. The ball bounces more. In my days are used to | :42:52. | :42:57. | |
with through and when it rained we did not have covers. Just back on | :42:58. | :43:05. | |
court. Charlie, you are not wrong. You have seen someone going round | :43:06. | :43:09. | |
rehydrating the grass every morning, this grass is treated very tenderly. | :43:10. | :43:16. | |
They looks like green velvet even up close. The reason we were talking | :43:17. | :43:20. | |
about that was that Wimbledon was the first thing broadcasting colour | :43:21. | :43:26. | |
and I was seeing the class did not look as green. That is because it | :43:27. | :43:29. | |
wasn't. The Lancashire cotton family of -- | :43:30. | :43:51. | |
famine affected so many people in the north of England. You were | :43:52. | :43:58. | |
inspired by a look back at your family. Yes. We touched on a period | :43:59. | :44:08. | |
of Lancashire history, the Lancashire cotton famine or panic | :44:09. | :44:14. | |
and I thought, what an amazing piece of history because it is an | :44:15. | :44:19. | |
international story. I was surprised a drama had not been made about it | :44:20. | :44:23. | |
all other people did not seems know about it. It stayed with me. I did | :44:24. | :44:34. | |
that programme in 2005. It stayed with me. I did a music show last | :44:35. | :44:40. | |
year which inspired me to do another collaboration and I had always | :44:41. | :44:43. | |
wanted to do this thing about cotton, I say thing because I did | :44:44. | :44:49. | |
not know what it was going to be, about the cotton famine and I | :44:50. | :44:54. | |
approached Stephen, who I had gotten all because he was doing the show, | :44:55. | :44:56. | |
and they asked whether he would be involved with his band. To make this | :44:57. | :45:03. | |
industrial sort of Genk, ... It is hard to describe, it is a gig, | :45:04. | :45:20. | |
people come to it like it did... It is not a musical? No, that is a | :45:21. | :45:28. | |
no-no from us, the musical thing, there is a narrative, the music | :45:29. | :45:33. | |
tells the story, I was fascinated by the story. Did you know much about | :45:34. | :45:39. | |
the cotton panic? I knew about it from a different context, through | :45:40. | :45:44. | |
Black history month, so I knew it from that angle. Can you explain it, | :45:45. | :45:48. | |
because we have not explained it yet? It is about, during the | :45:49. | :45:54. | |
American Civil War, most of the cotton was coming from America to | :45:55. | :46:00. | |
the Lancashire textile is, and there was an embargo and the cotton wasn't | :46:01. | :46:07. | |
coming out, but the Manchester workers did come out in sympathy and | :46:08. | :46:12. | |
support eventually, it was not cold-hearted, there was debate and | :46:13. | :46:16. | |
discussion, but they did and came out in support of the abolition so | :46:17. | :46:21. | |
it is part of that story, but as a result of supporting the abolition | :46:22. | :46:27. | |
it led to massive hardship, deprivation, displacement, deaths, | :46:28. | :46:31. | |
so it had a massive impact on Lancashire. Was that a glimpse of | :46:32. | :46:37. | |
the rehearsals we saw a moment ago? Was that you with a megaphone? Yes! | :46:38. | :46:45. | |
What was going on there? Just me being cocky! That is how she talks | :46:46. | :46:52. | |
to me, through a megaphone! She shouts that the band! It sounds like | :46:53. | :46:59. | |
it is a big deconstructed, would that be a reasonable phrase? Yeah, | :47:00. | :47:06. | |
and a lot of it is done in film. Myself and the band, we are a band, | :47:07. | :47:11. | |
but a lot of it is done in film, we worked with a director, Chris | :47:12. | :47:16. | |
Turner, so it is quite an immersive, interesting sort of space. It is | :47:17. | :47:20. | |
basically an experience, it is not a history lesson... It has got | :47:21. | :47:26. | |
everything going on, really, to tell the story. It feels like you have | :47:27. | :47:34. | |
had free reign over this and you thought of something and thought I | :47:35. | :47:38. | |
don't have to fit in any box, I can do what I like, and I ask this | :47:39. | :47:45. | |
because we introduced you as Bubble from Absolutely Fabulous, lots of | :47:46. | :47:49. | |
people know you from those sort of things on the screen, is television | :47:50. | :47:52. | |
behind you now, is it all about, I'm going to do what takes my fancy? It | :47:53. | :47:57. | |
certainly interests me more to do this sort of work, collaboration I | :47:58. | :48:04. | |
really love, and we have all selected different people from our | :48:05. | :48:07. | |
world is to be part of this show, from lighting to the designer to the | :48:08. | :48:15. | |
video projection, so it is great, actually, to have that sort of free | :48:16. | :48:21. | |
reign to be able to do that. Creatively I just find it much more | :48:22. | :48:25. | |
satisfying to do, rather than somebody else being in control! | :48:26. | :48:31. | |
Unfortunately John McGraw at the Manchester International Festival | :48:32. | :48:34. | |
agreed to put this show on, so I have to say thanks to them for | :48:35. | :48:43. | |
agreeing, Stephen and Nick, the writer, I went to see John, he did | :48:44. | :48:48. | |
actually, he kind of had faith in the project enough to say, yes, you | :48:49. | :48:53. | |
can do... We only met him in December so it has been a very quick | :48:54. | :48:58. | |
process! I dare say there are nuances to do with hard times then | :48:59. | :49:03. | |
and you think of austerities now, you think of food banks, are there | :49:04. | :49:08. | |
parallels, do you think, that give it a particular resonance now? Yes, | :49:09. | :49:13. | |
it is a perennial story, enduring stories of people and communities | :49:14. | :49:17. | |
who are drawn together because of events that are outside their | :49:18. | :49:21. | |
control, international events, and this is an example of that, the | :49:22. | :49:26. | |
connection between communities, so it is an enduring story and very | :49:27. | :49:30. | |
relevant about displacement, hardship. But it is also an | :49:31. | :49:35. | |
uplifting part in the sense that it is about how communities support | :49:36. | :49:39. | |
each other. Famously in Who Do You Think You Are everyone cries, I did | :49:40. | :49:43. | |
not see yours, did it end... I so did not want to cry! Did it end in | :49:44. | :49:50. | |
tears? It was that point when I found out one of my ancestors died | :49:51. | :49:56. | |
in the cotton famine, I think that is why this story did resonate with | :49:57. | :50:03. | |
me, because I'm doing this now, but, yes, I didn't want to cry! Everyone | :50:04. | :50:08. | |
says it is not going to happen then something is a trigger somewhere | :50:09. | :50:11. | |
along the way! Lovely to see you broke this morning, thank you very | :50:12. | :50:18. | |
much for coming in. Cotton Panic begins this Saturday, | :50:19. | :50:19. | |
good luck. We have spent a lot of time at | :50:20. | :50:25. | |
Wimbledon this morning, Sally has been there with the sport, Carol is | :50:26. | :50:30. | |
there as well and she told us there was at least one flying and today | :50:31. | :50:33. | |
even though it was flying and day yesterday. Can you confirm? What is | :50:34. | :50:38. | |
going on? I haven't seen any flying ants, but | :50:39. | :50:42. | |
Sally has been bitten and I can certainly tell you that. But the | :50:43. | :50:46. | |
conditions we have are ideal for them because they like it hot and | :50:47. | :50:50. | |
they liked it humid and we will have another day like that today. The | :50:51. | :50:55. | |
beautiful caught behind bid, still on Centre Court here, pollen levels | :50:56. | :50:58. | |
today if you have an allergy to grass pollen are high or very high | :50:59. | :51:02. | |
across Northern Ireland, Wales and all of England, moderate across most | :51:03. | :51:04. | |
of Scotland except the north, where they are low. Temperature wise, in | :51:05. | :51:10. | |
the London area, temperatures currently around 22 Celsius, they | :51:11. | :51:13. | |
are set to rocket today backed up towards 30. So the forecast for | :51:14. | :51:20. | |
Wimbledon, some sand turnaround, we are not out of the woods in terms of | :51:21. | :51:24. | |
showers, even until early afternoon. Chance of showers, doesn't mean we | :51:25. | :51:28. | |
will get them but we could and the chance diminishes through the | :51:29. | :51:33. | |
afternoon, again it doesn't mean we will catch one, but we could. There | :51:34. | :51:37. | |
are thunderstorms coming from the English Channel at the moment, as we | :51:38. | :51:41. | |
move further north a lot of cloud around, some brighter breaks, and | :51:42. | :51:44. | |
line of thunderstorms across north-east England at the moment and | :51:45. | :51:48. | |
some rain which continues in Scotland, drifting north eastwards. | :51:49. | :51:52. | |
For Northern Ireland, a lot of dry weather with one or two showers in | :51:53. | :51:56. | |
the north and as we come back in through Wales a lot of dry weather | :51:57. | :52:01. | |
as well, the same four Southwest England, sunshine, variable cloud, | :52:02. | :52:04. | |
low cloud hugging the coast line will keep the temperature down. As | :52:05. | :52:08. | |
we move from the South West to Gloucestershire towards the Home | :52:09. | :52:11. | |
Counties, Southern counties included, back to variable cloud and | :52:12. | :52:14. | |
sunny spells and the risk of a shower which could be done. But the | :52:15. | :52:19. | |
humdinger is will arrive later as the temperatures rise, some | :52:20. | :52:24. | |
torrential intense downpours anywhere from East Wales, the | :52:25. | :52:26. | |
Midlands, northern England, they are hit and miss, we were all C1 but if | :52:27. | :52:30. | |
you do you will know about it because a lot of water will come out | :52:31. | :52:34. | |
of the sky in a small amount of time. Further south we are still not | :52:35. | :52:38. | |
immune to the odd boundary downpour as well, the risk continues, lesser | :52:39. | :52:44. | |
risk at Wimbledon. In the evening and overnight we eventually lose all | :52:45. | :52:48. | |
the thunderstorms and we will see the arrival of a weather front | :52:49. | :52:51. | |
across western Scotland introducing some rain. In between, a lot of dry | :52:52. | :52:56. | |
weather and temperature is around 12 to 18 so still quite sticky and | :52:57. | :53:00. | |
oppressive down in the south. Tomorrow, a lot of dry weather to | :53:01. | :53:03. | |
start with, another mild start of the day, temperatures in double | :53:04. | :53:07. | |
figures easily, but the rain coming across western Scotland will | :53:08. | :53:11. | |
continue to move south through the course of the day, by the time it | :53:12. | :53:18. | |
gets into and Northern Ireland we are looking at a band of cloud with | :53:19. | :53:21. | |
some patchy rain and much fresher, hot and muggy today, but in the | :53:22. | :53:24. | |
south-east it won't be, we hang on to the high temperatures and | :53:25. | :53:26. | |
humidity. As we move into Saturday we start off with some rain across | :53:27. | :53:31. | |
Wales, the Midlands, northern England, increasingly that fragments | :53:32. | :53:35. | |
through the course of the day, a fair bit of dry with around outside | :53:36. | :53:39. | |
of it and high is still around the 27 mark in the south-east but | :53:40. | :53:43. | |
elsewhere looking at roughly where we should be at this time of year. | :53:44. | :53:48. | |
Sally has joined me, have you warmed up, you were cold this morning? | :53:49. | :53:53. | |
I feel the cold all the time! I'm OK now because the sun has come out in | :53:54. | :53:58. | |
time for your forecast! And it is 22. 72 Fahrenheit. | :53:59. | :54:04. | |
That will do, warmer would be nicer. But not for the players. We have | :54:05. | :54:14. | |
been doing Game, Set, Mug! In the last few days, challenging tennis | :54:15. | :54:16. | |
player to see how many balls they cap it into a mug, we have had Andy | :54:17. | :54:20. | |
Murray, Johanna Konta, Milos Raonic giving it. What do you do when the | :54:21. | :54:24. | |
world's best player challenges you to have a go? | :54:25. | :54:28. | |
Run! I would, but if you are Charlie | :54:29. | :54:29. | |
Stayt, look what happens... You were standing close to me | :54:30. | :54:32. | |
when I was doing it. You were trying to put | :54:33. | :54:41. | |
extra pressure on! This is, this was your | :54:42. | :54:44. | |
technique, right? I will give you a three, | :54:45. | :54:48. | |
two, one, go. If you beat all the players, that is | :54:49. | :54:52. | |
bad news! You have done better | :54:53. | :55:09. | |
than most of the players. Except we have to minus | :55:10. | :55:28. | |
the ones you got. I'm pretty pleased with that. Milos | :55:29. | :55:52. | |
Raonic only got ball. -- four. A well done from the world number | :55:53. | :56:24. | |
one! Charlie should be a wild card at Wimbledon next year! | :56:25. | :56:29. | |
Look at the leaderboard, Charlie Stayt in second place with seven! | :56:30. | :56:35. | |
Charlie, you made it look so easy! Have you been practising? | :56:36. | :56:41. | |
You were brilliant! Do you know what, Sally, looking at the | :56:42. | :56:44. | |
leaderboard there is one of the proudest moment in my life ever! It | :56:45. | :56:49. | |
really is, no exaggeration to say! That is about as good as it gets! | :56:50. | :56:55. | |
But do you know what, you are not alone because all the tennis players | :56:56. | :56:59. | |
who are done it, you think it is a bit of a laugh, heating them into a | :57:00. | :57:02. | |
giant mug, very funny, but every player that has done it has been | :57:03. | :57:06. | |
hugely competitive. Jo Konta when she saw she only had two macro said | :57:07. | :57:10. | |
she wanted another go but we were very strict with the rules and said | :57:11. | :57:15. | |
no, that is it. That is why they are professional tennis players, that | :57:16. | :57:18. | |
strict competitive edge. Did you see how competitive Charlie | :57:19. | :57:22. | |
was? That is a side to you I have never seen! | :57:23. | :57:26. | |
You guys both know this, don't you, but Andy Murray was such a good | :57:27. | :57:30. | |
sport that day, because it wasn't planned, he is a busy man, he took | :57:31. | :57:35. | |
time out and said, do you want to have a go as well? It is real | :57:36. | :57:39. | |
testament to him that he is like that, he has that in him, he just | :57:40. | :57:42. | |
wants to have fun with stuff as well. | :57:43. | :57:46. | |
You both made it look so easy, but it's not, it's really hard. | :57:47. | :57:50. | |
We have tried! We got one and two! | :57:51. | :57:56. | |
I would get non-ex-macro Ladies, lovely to see you. I am sitting next | :57:57. | :58:00. | |
to the man who is half as good at tennis as Andy Murray! | :58:01. | :58:04. | |
Yes, I like your take on it but let's take a bit of a liberty! | :58:05. | :58:11. | |
We did a bit of division there, didn't be, taking away? | :58:12. | :58:15. | |
Yes, you were half as good. Staying with that theme now, maths. | :58:16. | :58:21. | |
Is it fun, can it be fun? Tim is finding out for us this morning. | :58:22. | :58:25. | |
Good morning, we are at Parkland primary school in Leeds where they | :58:26. | :58:30. | |
love times tables, they are very, very good at it and they are more | :58:31. | :58:36. | |
than -- one of more than 100 schools that took part in an extraordinary | :58:37. | :58:39. | |
event yesterday designed to make times tables exciting and | :58:40. | :58:43. | |
interesting. Is it possible, I hear you cry? Well, check out their times | :58:44. | :58:48. | |
tables skills here and have a look at what happened yesterday. | :58:49. | :58:51. | |
Rarely combined, but this event is greater than the sum of its parts. | :58:52. | :59:08. | |
They are fighting it out in a series of head-to-head rounds to become | :59:09. | :59:11. | |
crowned the supreme ultimate rock hero for eternity. | :59:12. | :59:17. | |
Baz Winter is the rock alter ego of maths teacher Bruno Reddy, | :59:18. | :59:22. | |
he created Times Table Rockstars, which is now used in 5,000 | :59:23. | :59:24. | |
Via a rockstar persona, pupils engage in a maths battle. | :59:25. | :59:29. | |
This is the regional final for the north-east of England, | :59:30. | :59:33. | |
We've been practising for seven months just waiting | :59:34. | :59:38. | |
You practise your times tables at the same time | :59:39. | :59:47. | |
It pushes me to get quicker and quicker. | :59:48. | :59:50. | |
Some people say you don't need to learn your times tables, | :59:51. | :59:52. | |
they're old-fashioned and boring - what do you make that? | :59:53. | :59:55. | |
60% of the maths syllabus at GCSE can be traced back | :59:56. | :59:57. | |
For the pupils it's just fun, it's just practice, they're lost | :59:58. | :00:01. | |
I was bad at maths in, like, Year 5, but now I've really improved. | :00:02. | :00:07. | |
And the whole rock thing really helps as well? | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
The last qualifying round is over, it's time for the grand final. | :00:11. | :00:22. | |
Nabil correctly answered a staggering 435 questions | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
Excellent, my family's going to be proud. | :00:28. | :00:40. | |
The prize is waiting outside, a helicopter ride above Leeds. | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
I hope Nabil's incredible performance today inspires children | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
in this school and in this region to be incredible mathematicians. | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
A little tribute to bill and Ted, one of my favourite films of all | :00:50. | :01:10. | |
time. Why is it good to be good at times tables? Because it will help | :01:11. | :01:22. | |
you in the future. It will make life easier for you as you grow. Your | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
trophy is fabulous. You had a brilliant helicopter ride. It was | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
excellent. The first time in a helicopter. We can talk to the head | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
teacher. Why would she be worried about times tables? They are the | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
most exciting things in school. We have the whole full of children in | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
those two. We have taken them to do levels. You do the times table and | :01:49. | :01:56. | |
you subtract that from 100s which sounds incredibly complicated. Let | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
us have a demonstration. 12 times 12. 24. Six times six. 64. You are | :02:02. | :02:17. | |
doing this Somme and then subtracting it from 100. Is it fair | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
to say that you have never used maths so much? Mr Dyson has changed | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
our school. It is the best school in the world. You did not tell him to | :02:30. | :02:38. | |
say that? I did not. He will get a special sausage sandwich on Friday. | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
The game you were doing, what impact does that have? It makes you | :02:45. | :02:54. | |
practice and do it a lot. Test me. Next time six. 36, but I have to | :02:55. | :03:08. | |
take that away from 100, 64. Seven times five. 35, so I have to take | :03:09. | :03:18. | |
that away from 100, 60 five. What do you say to people who say we should | :03:19. | :03:28. | |
not obsess about times tables? 25 out of 30 did not drop a mark on the | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
arithmetic paper. It makes challenging things like the vision | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
and fractions so much easier to access. The children at one best | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
school shine from the Year 1 all the way through. You can fire some | :03:41. | :03:49. | |
questions that these guys. I had a go. I think it is only fair you take | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
up the challenge. It is very fair. I have the | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
questions. That is why you said it was fear because you are asking the | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
questions. Play along. You have 20 reckons. And so on as many as you | :04:07. | :04:14. | |
can. I have to give the answer but subtracted from 100. Yes. Eight | :04:15. | :04:33. | |
times 12. Eight times 12? 96. For. Nine times for. 64. Nine times | :04:34. | :04:51. | |
three. 73. You have scored... Five out of five. Did I get that right? | :04:52. | :05:00. | |
Did I? I takes them as I was going through. You got them all right. | :05:01. | :05:08. | |
Thanks. No cheating. It was not allowed. | :05:09. | :05:10. | |
We'll be talking to the composer Max Richter next. | :05:11. | :05:12. | |
He's written some of the most recognisable scores in film | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
and TV including including Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
That's coming up in just a minute but first a last, | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
brief look at the headlines where you are this morning. | :05:22. | :07:04. | |
Is that linking back to the last story? I am having such trouble with | :07:05. | :07:22. | |
your name this morning! I am so sorry. | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
In long form, Max Richter is a composer, pianist, producer, | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
Now, he's turned all his talents to a brand new BBC Four performance, | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
based on three different works by Virginia Woolf | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
It is a big rally made of three sections based on three novels of | :07:35. | :07:45. | |
murdering you will, Mrs Bellamy, the waves and Orlando. | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
Max is watching. Are you in all of the dancers? They are probably | :07:49. | :08:36. | |
amazed by the music you make? Absolutely. When you are in the | :08:37. | :08:38. | |
presence of somebody who does something you have no idea how to do | :08:39. | :08:48. | |
it is mysterious. It was eerie. Yes. That is from The Waves, the Tuesday | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
section of the ballet. That is the last part of the ballet. It is | :08:55. | :09:05. | |
linked into Woolf's biography. She had the complicated life. She | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
ultimately took her own life. What will people experience who watch | :09:13. | :09:19. | |
this? Can I college a J? Yes. What is the experience? Three sections. | :09:20. | :09:26. | |
About half an hour each, a little less. Three universes. | :09:27. | :09:38. | |
Delaway is modelled or in Woolf herself. The second one goes | :09:39. | :09:53. | |
everywhere. We mentioned your links with movies. Martin Scorsese. What | :09:54. | :10:02. | |
is it like working with him? Anybody who has seen that film knows that | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
the visual and the music, it was quite intense. It is an amazing film | :10:06. | :10:13. | |
and the soundtrack plays a big part. My work was a big part of that | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
soundtrack and they use a lot of contemporary classical work from all | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
sorts of places. When you get a call from Martin Scorsese in some ways | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
your life is complete. Did you literally get a call? My publisher | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
called me. I thought it was amazing. One of your works I am intrigued by | :10:35. | :10:42. | |
which I did not know about. Sleep. Doing this shift, seven I end up in | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
the theatre or the cinema, or even at dinner, I will fall asleep, so | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
the idea of going to watch something where it is acceptable to sleep | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
through sounds delightful. Tell us more. Sleep is an eight and a half | :10:57. | :11:05. | |
hour peace. It plays continuously. It is instrumental music, electronic | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
music, and we perform at overnight from midnight until ATM. It is a big | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
lullaby. The audience, they have beds and the sleep through the | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
piece. In a way the piece is a little bit like a holiday, a sort of | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
holiday from our data universe. We live on our screens 24- sevens and | :11:31. | :11:39. | |
it is exhausting, a challenge. It is one occasion where falling asleep | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
during a performance as a complement to the artistic creators. Yes. Would | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
you be more offended if somebody did not sleep? People find their unique | :11:51. | :11:57. | |
way to experience it. Sometimes people will go to sleep and that of | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
it and you will see them in the morning and they wake up and they | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
slept through the whole thing. Some people listen all night and collapse | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
at the end. Most people do a bit of both. Working with dancers, is a | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
different working with a live performance on stage as to working | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
for a score for something or for a movie? Is it a different experience? | :12:21. | :12:27. | |
Yes. All media have their languages, there are natural dynamics. Writing | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
concert music or a ballet is different from cinema or TV. | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
Ultimately all creative work is storytelling. The ballet, the | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
movies, the record, the concert piece, they are different ways of | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
connecting and talking about stuff. Do you have things going round your | :12:48. | :12:54. | |
head all the time? Yes. What is next? I am writing a big choral | :12:55. | :13:02. | |
piece for next year. That is buzzing around. Nice place to be. Lovely to | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
see you. The Royal Ballet's Woolf Works | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
is on BBC Four at 7pm on Sunday. Carol and Sally will be at Wimbledon | :13:10. | :13:20. | |
tomorrow. That's it for today but we'll be | :13:21. | :13:22. | |
back tomorrow from 6am. | :13:23. | :13:26. |
