Hello, this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
A review for the government calls for the end of the cash | :00:08. | :00:13. | |
With suggestions for tackling low-paid jobs, zero hours contracts | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
and the gig economy, it says the government should strive | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
Good morning, it's Tuesday the 11th of July. | :00:20. | :00:39. | |
For the first time since 1984 there's a British woman | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
That's right, Johanna Konta will play Simona Halep on centre court at | :00:45. | :01:00. | |
Wimbledon later on this afternoon. Andy Murray is also through. What a | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
match last night, Rafa Nadal knocked out after five hours and five sets. | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
How coffee could be more than just a pick-me-up. | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
Now two major studies say it may help us live longer. | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
We'll find out about the new nursery opening on the same site | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
There's a call for British businesses to do more to boost | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
I'll be finding out why it's so important, and why the UK lags | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
Carol has the weather, good morning. Good morning from Wimbledon, much | :01:35. | :01:49. | |
cooler today than of late, the risk of interruption today. Early | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
afternoon, a dry slot, heavy and persistent rain. We're likely to see | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
significant rain for the first time in a while in southern parts of | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
England and Wales. For the rest of the country, sunshine and showers. | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
We will be back with more details later in the programme. Thank you so | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
much, see you later. An end to cash-in-hand jobs | :02:08. | :02:08. | |
and changing the rules on the gig economy, just two of | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
the recommendations in a major The Matthew Taylor review also says | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
there are too many people who are being treated | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
like cogs in a machine Our economics correspondent | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
Andy Verity reports. In the last ten years the economy's | :02:24. | :02:38. | |
generated record number of jobs and the lowest unemployment rate in | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
nearly half a century. But according to the man who led a government | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
commission review, more jobs hasn't always meant good jobs. In my view, | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
there is too much work, particularly at the bottom end of the labour | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
market, that isn't of high enough quality and there's too many people | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
not having their rights fully respected and there are too many | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
people treated at work like cogs in a machine rather than human beings | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
and there are too many people who don't see a route from their current | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
job to progress and earn more and do better. The review will recommend | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
that if someone is controlled and supervised then there are classified | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
as a worker or dependent contractor rather than self employed. Those | :03:16. | :03:24. | |
workers may be entitled to benefits like holiday plague and employers | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
might have to pay National Insurance at 13.8%. That's broadly in line | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
with a landmark court ruling in a case brought by this former Uber | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
driver. Uber is appealing the ruling. I don't think it helps me as | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
a worker for what I've been fighting for in the tribunal and that's | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
what's concerning because the workers haven't been involved in the | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
process in this report. The review also makes a bigger point that | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
self-employed work from plumbers to painters yields far less tax for the | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
Treasury, especially of the work is cash in hand. For consumers, though, | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
the recommendations are likely to mean inexpensive services will no | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
longer be as cheap. Andy Verity, BBC News. | :04:04. | :04:04. | |
And we'll be talking to Matthew Taylor, the author | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
Theresa May will make her first big speech later this morning | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
since being re-elected as Prime Minister in June. | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
Her party is coming under pressure with no outright majority, | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
and yesterday Conservative MP Anne Marie Morris was suspended | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
of her using a racially-offensive term. | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
Our political correspondent Chris Mason joins us | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
Chris, an important morning for the Prime Minister. | :04:25. | :04:36. | |
But will this fresh controversy affect the tiny majority | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
Yes, good morning. The whole perspective that the Prime Minister | :04:39. | :04:46. | |
hoped to focus on today is exactly what we've been hearing about, this | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
report into working conditions and taxes and National Insurance and all | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
the rest of it as the economy changes. But instead all of the | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
focus was already on the Prime Minister and her future and the | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
extent to which there is still so much gossip going on within | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
Conservative ranks as to how long she can last in Downing Street. Then | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
throw into the mix this emerging yesterday of this recording from a | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
Conservative backbencher making these gratuitously racially | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
insensitive remarks in the context of a debate about Brexit. Lots of | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
other MPs, conservative and otherwise, after that were | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
condemning the language of Anne-Marie Morris. The Prime | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
Minister acted very quickly, to use Westminster's terminology, in | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
removing the whip from her, in other words she's no longer officially a | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
Conservative MP, effectively sitting as an independent. That chips away | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
yet further at the Conservative' non-existent majority, a very small | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
majority, with the help of Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist party. | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
In time she may well be restored to the Conservative Party and even if | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
she isn't she may still decide to vote with them, but in authority | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
terms, yet another awkward day for the Prime Minister. You're probably | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
counting them knowing you, Chris! Much, we will speak will speak to | :06:11. | :06:12. | |
you later. A man has been charged over an acid | :06:13. | :06:13. | |
attack on a woman and her cousin John Tomlin, who's 24, | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
is alleged to have thrown acid at Resham Khan and Jameel Muhktar | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
through their car window. Both suffered severe burns | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
to the face and body. An American military aircraft has | :06:24. | :06:31. | |
crashed in the state of Mississippi, killing at least 16 people, | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
according to US media. It crashed about 100 | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
miles north of Jackson, The type of aircraft is one | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
of the most extensively used in the military, but they can also | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
be modified to transport cargo A BBC investigation has found nearly | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
500 children aged 12 and under have been questioned by police | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
for sexting since 2013. The practice is when someone uses | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
a mobile phone to send indecent Figures obtained by BBC Newcastle | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
show there's been a steady increase in the number of people | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
being investigated, with a boy aged Clearly the NSPCC don't want | :07:01. | :07:18. | |
children criminalised for this sort of behaviour and it's really | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
important that police are talking to children in a restorative way, | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
looking at the safeguarding issues for that child, making sure that the | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
child isn't criminalised. You know I don't drink coffee? This | :07:29. | :08:07. | |
is coffee number one. How many do you go through in the programme? I | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
only have one otherwise I go slightly over the edge. | :08:12. | :08:12. | |
If you are reaching for your second or even your third cup of coffee | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
Scientists behind two new studies say they've uncovered the clearest | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
evidence yet that the beverage could be beneficial to health. | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
But others have urged caution, saying there's no actual proof | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
It's the news every coffee addict will be delighted to hear. Their | :08:28. | :08:48. | |
daily, or better still thrice daily, brew might be a reason they could | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
live for longer. Previous research has suggested drinking coffee could | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
reduce risk of heart disease, diabetes and some cancers. Now two | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
studies, one American and one European, have both come up with | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
results that seem to show coffee drinkers live longer. The study of | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
more than 500,000 people from ten European countries found men who | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
downed more than three cups of coffee a day were 18% less likely to | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
die from any cause than non- coffee drinkers. Women drinking the same | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
amount benefited less but still experienced an 8% reduction in | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
mortality. What the study doesn't show is what | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
could be causing any apparent benefits. It's thought it could be | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
the antioxidants that coffee contains. What it isn't is caffeine. | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
The results came out the same for people who drank regular or decaf. | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
Word the figures don't prove that ranking coffee will make you live | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
longer, there is no cause and effect shown, just a study of the lifespans | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
of an awful lot of coffee drinkers. Sarah Smith, BBC News. | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
The answer is I'm going to drink a lot more coffee. Can we get her a | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
second one? Plans to almost double | :10:05. | :10:05. | |
the number of Welsh speakers The Welsh government wants one | :10:06. | :10:07. | |
million people to be There will be more teaching | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
at an earlier age, and more Welsh-speaking teachers in primary | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
and secondary schools. My mother is Welsh, she didn't speak | :10:16. | :10:30. | |
in Jewish until she was about 14. -- didn't speak English. | :10:31. | :10:32. | |
For the first time in history, scientists got a close up look | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
of one of the most recognisable features of Jupiter, | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
the centuries-old storm known as the Great Red Spot. | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
We'll see the first images of the storm later this week. | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
The aim is to collect data about the composition of the clouds | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
and find out what lies beneath them. | :10:47. | :10:48. | |
Need to find out some facts on Jupiter for today. We've got some, | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
it is... The storm is twice the size of Earth. That is a good fact. Good | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
one to kick things off with. If you have any others then let us know. | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
What a day at Wimbledon yesterday. Rafa Nadal must be exhausted. That | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
stole the headlines after a great day for Johanna Konta and Andy | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
Murray and five ridiculous hours, if you stayed up to watch it last | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
night, for us it was quite late but for most people it was normal, it | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
finished at 8:45 p.m., Sally is reflecting on all the Wimbledon news | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
and Johanna Konta goes again, Sally? She does, how did that happen? I | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
honestly think for once I'm going to say I hope she's not watching, I | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
hope she is fast asleep in bed and resting, another big day. | :11:36. | :11:37. | |
I have to say apologies to Carol Kirkwood's neighbours, who heard me | :11:38. | :11:44. | |
shouting at the TV until late last night, we stayed up and watched it | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
an my goodness, the Nadal match had us on the edge of our seats, it was | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
a great game! A great day yesterday for Johanna Konta, Andy Murray | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
almost through, they're making history, aren't they? I hesitate to | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
mention this too much about Jo but the way she approaches Wimbledon, | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
her attitude, is changing because in previous years it's been a tricky | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
time for her and she hasn't always had the best time and she hasn't | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
always loved it but I tell you what, something has changed, the crowd is | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
helping her and it's been amazing to see. Great to see. We've spent a lot | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
of time with Jo over the last few weeks so great to see her and Andy | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
Murray having a good run. But to the most important business of the day, | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
I know you want to know who is where in our game said Mike BBC Breakfast | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
challenge? We've asked the great and good of tennis to have a go at | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
getting as many tennis balls they can into a giant BBC Breakfast mug | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
in 30 seconds, let's see how the great three-time grand slam winning | :12:48. | :12:49. | |
champion Kim Kleist is not on. So, Kim Kleist is, welcome to BBC | :12:50. | :12:58. | |
Breakfast. Thank you. You are a former world number one, four | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
grandslam titles under your belt, including three US opens, one | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
Australian Open, but nothing compares to the challenge of facing | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
today. How are you feeling? Pressure, a lot of pressure, a | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
little bit nervous. Huge pressure, are you excited? Are you excited. | :13:14. | :13:22. | |
You know the rules, as many balls into our mug as you can in 30 | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
seconds. Have you got the time? I've got the time. Kim, three, two, one, | :13:28. | :13:35. | |
go. Good start, I'm liking the technique, strong technique. It's | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
been successful in the past, one has definitely gone in. Nearly ten | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
seconds down, Kim. To call in now. I think we've got her in her stride. | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
She's not going to change up this technique, definitely working for | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
her, this is going to be a strong performance from the former world | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
number one Kim Clijsters hear. OK, Kim, five seconds left. Four, three, | :13:58. | :14:05. | |
two, one... Just about, well done, I think that was a fantastic | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
performance. How do you feel? Pretty good. Shall we go and check it out? | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
Feeling confident about this? I have no idea how many. One, two, three, | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Excellent result. You must be | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
pleased with that? I'm happy with that, OK. I didn't beat Andy but | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
I'll give him the win. Well done for having a go at our game, set, mug | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
challenge. Didn't she do brilliantly? Shall we | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
have a look at the leaderboard and see how Kim measures up against | :14:42. | :14:51. | |
everyone else is. -- everyone else. She's done really well and I'm | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
already taking a grandslam title off her, she has 14, not three as I | :14:57. | :15:03. | |
mentioned a moment ago. -- won four. Before we go to Carol, for once we | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
have this gorgeous weight of muffins, not just breakfast for me, | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
there's a reason, every day after she finishes playing, Johanna Konta | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
has been baking muffins for her team -- plate of muffins. She has been | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
relaxing with the baking. I thought I would try my own speciality member | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
here, Carol Kirkwood, do you want one? Not just yet but I want to say | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
these aren't just for me, this is a light snack for you. We must have a | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
word with our team to see if they can do some baking! Not looking too | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
promising! Let's get on with the weather because it could be | :15:42. | :15:42. | |
changing? Were starting to get spots in the | :15:43. | :15:54. | |
error and it is cooler today. The forecast is just that, noticeably | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
cooler with more cloud around, rain in the early afternoon and then a | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
dry slot and then some heavy persistent rain in the late | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
afternoon into the evening. Highs today roundabout 20 Celsius, a drop | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
compared to what we have been used to a bear that in mind if you coming | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
down today. For all of us we have some weight on the forecast either | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
of these showers in the north or persistent rain moving eastwards | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
through the day. If we start in the south at nine a.m. There is a lot of | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
dry weather around but there are splashes of rain that holds through | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
East Anglia into the Midlands. More coherent rain in north England | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
around the Pennines and The Wash and the far north of England into | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
Scotland, again there are dry interludes with Cloud and bright | :16:44. | :16:46. | |
spells, showery outbreaks in Scotland. Northern Ireland has dry | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
in the north, cloud in the south. As the come across Wales and into | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
England and parts of the Midlands, we are again looking at some rain. | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
Not particularly heavy but more persistent. Drifting eastwards again | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
there is a lot of cloud around, and a few splashes of rain here and | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
there. That if the picture at nine o'clock. Through the course of the | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
day, for Scotland and Northern Ireland and northern England there | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
is a mixture of bright spells, sunshine and showers for Wales in | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
the Southern half of England we have significant rain. More than we have | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
seen for a while for some of us. That moves from the west to the east | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
through the day. That will have an adverse affect on the temperature, a | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
high of 20 in London, fresher elsewhere. Innocent China will not | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
fill too bad further north. Into the evening and overnight the rain | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
drifts eastwards getting into south-east, East Anglia and by the | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
time it gets to us some of us will have 40 millimetres of rain fall, | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
some or more, some a little left. North of that clearing skies and the | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
temperature low enough for a touch of frost in sheltered lend. A fresh | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
night for sleeping in the south where it has been muggy and we start | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
tomorrow on that note with the rain and breathes it quickly clearing | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
away from the south-east and high pressure building in. A lot of | :18:08. | :18:13. | |
settled weather to marvel -- tomorrow. A better day for Wimbledon | :18:14. | :18:20. | |
tomorrow, a high of 23. As we head into Thursday, again a lot of dry | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
weather around. Some showers, particularly in the north and west | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
and lead in the day the weather front shows its hand across the far | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
north-west with temperatures roughly where they should be at this stage | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
in July. We can tell you, we fill a draft here this morning. It has been | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
so muggy and the temperature high for this stage of the day in July. | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
But today it is a different feel. And we can see you, you even had to | :18:46. | :18:52. | |
wear a coat. My goodness. I am interested in the construction of | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
the muffins. The large ones on the base, the mini ones on the top. | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
Quite impressive. Do you know what? There will not be this many muffins | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
the next time you cross to me. I can already see that one has been taken, | :19:08. | :19:21. | |
Carol. Just like you talking about take yesterday. | :19:22. | :19:23. | |
Show we have a look at the papers? The front page of the Guardian | :19:24. | :19:32. | |
talking about the reason may. A lot of the papers have pictures of | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
Joanna Quant the front page and this is an interesting one at the bottom | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
of the Guardian as well. This is an expert in ecology and wildlife, a | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
biological annihilation of wildlife in recent decades means a sixth mass | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
extinction in the cosmic history is well under way. This has been | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
published in a national Academy of sciences. It says it is the tone I | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
am struck by. They say that actually, because of what is | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
happening, the biological annihilation is right to call it | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
that because it is an assault on the foundation of humid civilisation. | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
Front page of the mail this morning has a story about Charlie guard, the | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
judge saying he will not be swayed by tweets. A picture thereof Pippa | :20:18. | :20:24. | |
Middleton on the front page of the Daily Mail. The Daily Mirror, again, | :20:25. | :20:31. | |
talking about Charlie on the front page and a story about Anne-Marie | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
Morris using a quite offensive phrase at a meeting and she has had | :20:36. | :20:41. | |
the whip removed by the Tory party and Theresa May has spoken out about | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
it as well. I love this picture of Johanna Konta. Relief as she throws | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
her racquet enjoyed. This is my favourite story of the day, I am a | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
coffee drinker, drinking coffee for a long life. Look at this. The front | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
page of the express. Your favourite story. And a picture of Andy Murray | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
and Johanna Konta who had a brilliant day to the British | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
yesterday. Johanna Konta is on centre court later and Andy Murray | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
tomorrow. The big story you have been discussing already today is the | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
review about the way that we were. That is in all of the business pages | :21:21. | :21:28. | |
today. The Telegraph here, talking about a jobs supremo defending zero | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
hour deals. Basically the Labour party were hoping that zero hour | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
were contacts would be scrapped. He has not gone that far, saying that | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
they can be useful at times but people need more rights and more pay | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
if they are working in that more vulnerable kind of area. Another | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
quick story is well about craft beer. Here saying that the big | :21:51. | :21:57. | |
distilleries perhaps should not be calling there be a craft beer and it | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
should only be small companies and small distilleries, perhaps | :22:02. | :22:09. | |
companies like Guinness should not be classified as a craft beer. | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
Another quick one. Look at these World War Two gadgets going on sale | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
at auction today. They should reach about ?5,000. This is a razor, | :22:18. | :22:27. | |
little spy gadgets, a razor that is an assassination punch that the. | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
This is a pipe with a dagger in it. A matchbox with a secret compass. | :22:32. | :22:39. | |
Quite a lot of daggers. A pen with a dagger in it as well. Essentially | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
daggers concealed in normal household items. Radio in a biscuit | :22:43. | :22:49. | |
tin as well. That is quite clever. They will go on auction today, | :22:50. | :22:51. | |
expected to reach ?5,000. They might be places that you assume | :22:52. | :22:53. | |
are generations apart - but for the first time in the UK, | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
a nursery and a care home It's an idea which has already been | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
adopted by other countries, such as the United States and Japan, | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
but from September, Britain will join them by opening | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
a joint site for youngsters Breakfast's Graham Satchell | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
went to find out more. A large care home in south London | :23:11. | :23:30. | |
and the sound of the nursery rhyme. Young and old singing, playing, | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
interacting together. When it officially opens in September, this | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
will be the first nursery in the country to be placed on the grounds | :23:41. | :23:48. | |
of a care home. Children spend more of their time away from other age | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
groups and the elderly spend time away from everybody. There is | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
something quite natural about bringing them together. A sports day | :23:56. | :24:05. | |
to celebrate the opening and 87-year-old Faye is showing off her | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
egg and spoon skills. Children from a nearby nursery have been coming | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
here on a weekly trip since January and Faye has loved it. Some of them | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
sing and dance and we play games. It is fabulous. So most of the | :24:20. | :24:27. | |
residents, they have a great time. They come alive. Bringing young and | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
old together like this already happens in America, Canada and | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
Japan. Experts say the advantages are clear, particularly for the | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
elderly in tackling isolation and loneliness. There are challenges as | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
well. Finding the right places and making sure both children and adults | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
are safe. The benefits really do our way the disadvantages. This is a | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
model for other care home providers and nurseries across the UK. It | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
certainly works in the rest of the world, there is no reason why would | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
could not see many more of these in the UK. Back inside, 90 Walter is | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
classes out of Play-Doh and passing on years of wisdom. Careful play | :25:13. | :25:20. | |
arranged by grown-ups is teaching them many things they don't know. | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
How to handle things and handle situations. As an old person, I am | :25:26. | :25:34. | |
coming to the end of my life, it is a great joy to see new human being | :25:35. | :25:42. | |
is growing and growing slowly into people, into humanity, into | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
maturity. It's a wonderful thing. I'm very privileged. Irene and | :25:48. | :25:56. | |
Helen... Is this a model for the future? There are certainly hope | :25:57. | :25:59. | |
here that will benefit young and old. I think it is a wonderful idea. | :26:00. | :26:08. | |
Quite clever, isn't it? It seems to be working well. I was going to say | :26:09. | :26:16. | |
its four minutes after half past six... Sorry, no, it is 626, the | :26:17. | :26:19. | |
conventional way of saying things. this year marks a century | :26:20. | :26:22. | |
since the first mass-produced Breakfast's Tim Muffett's taking | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
a look at the machine's history Good morning, Tim. Good morning to | :26:27. | :26:39. | |
you. The great Yorkshire show first staged in 1838 to celebrate | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
agricultural excellence. Ben, a tractor was something | :26:46. | :26:47. | |
science-fiction -based. It was way off in the future. This year they | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
are celebrating 100 years of mass-produced tractors. How have | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
they changed the agricultural industry? We will | :26:57. | :30:18. | |
Plenty more on our website at the usual address. | :30:19. | :30:22. | |
Now, though, it's back to Louise and Dan. | :30:23. | :30:24. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. | :30:25. | :30:29. | |
It's been in use for hundreds of years, but there are concerns | :30:30. | :30:39. | |
about the future of the Welsh language. | :30:40. | :30:41. | |
to double the number of speakers by 2050. | :30:42. | :30:44. | |
In the early hours of this morning, scientists had the very first close | :30:45. | :30:48. | |
up look at Jupiter's 10,000 mile wide storm. | :30:49. | :30:50. | |
We'll speak to one of the team behind the mission. | :30:51. | :30:54. | |
And, she's the former world number one, but Kim Clijsters really felt | :30:55. | :30:57. | |
the pressure when she took on our challenge Game, | :30:58. | :31:00. | |
But now a summary of this morning's main news. | :31:01. | :31:07. | |
An end to cash-in-hand jobs and changing the rules | :31:08. | :31:10. | |
on the minimum wage, just two of the recommendations | :31:11. | :31:13. | |
in a major review into the way we work. | :31:14. | :31:15. | |
The study, led by a former adviser to Tony Blair, | :31:16. | :31:18. | |
Matthew Taylor, recommends that people working in what's known | :31:19. | :31:20. | |
as the gig economy, where workers get paid per task, | :31:21. | :31:23. | |
should receive new legal protections and their employers should make | :31:24. | :31:26. | |
In my view, there's too much work, particularly at the bottom end | :31:27. | :31:39. | |
of the labour market, that isn't of a high enough quality | :31:40. | :31:42. | |
and there's too many people not having their rights fully respected | :31:43. | :31:45. | |
and there are too many people treated at work like cogs | :31:46. | :31:48. | |
in a machine rather than being human beings and there are too many people | :31:49. | :31:52. | |
who don't see a route from their current job to progress | :31:53. | :31:55. | |
I think we can improve all of that if we put our minds to it. | :31:56. | :32:03. | |
And we'll be talking to Matthew Taylor, the author | :32:04. | :32:05. | |
Theresa May will make her first big speech later this morning | :32:06. | :32:15. | |
since being re-elected as Prime Minister in June. | :32:16. | :32:17. | |
Her party is coming under pressure with no outright majority, | :32:18. | :32:20. | |
and just yesterday Conservative MP Anne Marie Morris was suspended, | :32:21. | :32:23. | |
after a recording emerged of her using a racially-offensive | :32:24. | :32:25. | |
term, during a public discussion about Brexit. | :32:26. | :32:28. | |
An American military aircraft has crashed in the state of Mississippi, | :32:29. | :32:31. | |
killing at least 16 people, according to US media. | :32:32. | :32:33. | |
It crashed about 100 miles north of Jackson, | :32:34. | :32:35. | |
The type of aircraft is one of the most extensively used | :32:36. | :32:39. | |
in the military, but they can also be modified to transport cargo | :32:40. | :32:42. | |
A man has been charged over an acid attack on a woman and her cousin | :32:43. | :32:51. | |
John Tomlin, who's 24, is alleged to have thrown acid | :32:52. | :32:55. | |
at Resham Khan and Jameel Muhktar through their car window. | :32:56. | :32:58. | |
Both suffered severe burns to the face and body. | :32:59. | :33:07. | |
President Trump's eldest son is facing further allegations | :33:08. | :33:09. | |
about a meeting he held with a Russian lawyer during last | :33:10. | :33:12. | |
The New York Times says Donald Trump Jr was informed | :33:13. | :33:15. | |
in advance by e-mail that the information offered | :33:16. | :33:17. | |
by the woman was part of a Russian government effort | :33:18. | :33:20. | |
The Senate Intelligence Committee wants to speak to him | :33:21. | :33:24. | |
about the meeting, which in a tweet he's described | :33:25. | :33:26. | |
If you are reaching for your second or even your third cup of coffee | :33:27. | :33:37. | |
Scientists behind two new studies say they've uncovered the clearest | :33:38. | :33:45. | |
evidence yet that the beverage could be beneficial to health. | :33:46. | :33:49. | |
actual proof coffee-drinking is good for you. | :33:50. | :33:56. | |
There are two studies of lots of different European countries. I have | :33:57. | :34:06. | |
genuinely never ever had a sip of coffee. How can you have done that? | :34:07. | :34:13. | |
It is the with, the pong. I'm sorry, I'm not going to change my ways | :34:14. | :34:17. | |
because you don't like the smell -- whiff. Would you like some puppy | :34:18. | :34:21. | |
news? We all know that puppies can be | :34:22. | :34:22. | |
naughty and chew or eat things they shouldn't, but this puppy | :34:23. | :34:26. | |
definitely bit off more He managed to swallow three | :34:27. | :34:28. | |
dog leads while playing Unsurprisingly they didn't go down | :34:29. | :34:37. | |
very well and he was taken Although he had to have emergency | :34:38. | :34:42. | |
surgery, he's made a full recovery. He is also... Absolutely gorgeous, | :34:43. | :35:00. | |
nothing to do with the news story but he is gorgeous. Thank you for | :35:01. | :35:06. | |
that! He is a locker, isn't he? Coffee and Dougie news, what else do | :35:07. | :35:13. | |
you need? -- Lukka. Johanna Konta is back on court today, what a day at | :35:14. | :35:17. | |
Wimbledon, Rafa Nadal to talk about but we need to get to the bottom of | :35:18. | :35:23. | |
the fact that Sal and Carol are living together during Wimbledon. | :35:24. | :35:26. | |
Are they, though? Which is magnificent news in Chez Kirkwood. | :35:27. | :35:37. | |
It's a challenge, it is raucous, the parties, the wild evenings, no, | :35:38. | :35:42. | |
nothing like that! We had a story yesterday about Wayne Rooney and his | :35:43. | :35:46. | |
pyjamas, we were attempted to take a picture of us in matching pyjamas | :35:47. | :35:50. | |
watching the tennis, we didn't do it, we saved the world from that | :35:51. | :35:55. | |
fate! Week two at Wimbledon, dramatic day yesterday. They are | :35:56. | :35:59. | |
just taking the covers down on Court 14 at the moment, just think to get | :36:00. | :36:16. | |
ready for the day ahead, a little bit of rain in the air as Carol has | :36:17. | :36:19. | |
mentioned, and here's something, I wonder if you know this, there's a | :36:20. | :36:23. | |
last eight clubs here, did you know this? I thought it was one of those | :36:24. | :36:27. | |
things we were talking about, Johanna Konta and Andy Murray going | :36:28. | :36:31. | |
for it, round the corner there is a private suite you can only get into | :36:32. | :36:34. | |
and watch the tennis if you have made it to the last eight in the | :36:35. | :36:38. | |
competition so we are looking good, first British man and woman into the | :36:39. | :36:42. | |
quarter-finals in 44 years. A whopping day yesterday. The last | :36:43. | :36:45. | |
woman to make it to the quarter-finals was Virginia Wade in | :36:46. | :36:48. | |
1977, not all of us will remember that, I do, the year of the Queen's | :36:49. | :36:54. | |
Silver Jubilee, Konta takes on Simona Halep this afternoon after a | :36:55. | :36:58. | |
really tough 3-set win yesterday over Carolyn Garcia. | :36:59. | :37:02. | |
It's those positions, those situations that I dream of or | :37:03. | :37:08. | |
dreamed of when I was a little girl and even now to be part of those | :37:09. | :37:13. | |
battles on big stages, so I think that's really what it's about to be | :37:14. | :37:15. | |
a professional athlete. Andy Murray reached | :37:16. | :37:16. | |
the quarter-finals for the 10th year straight-forward win over Benoit | :37:17. | :37:19. | |
Paire. After all the injury worries before | :37:20. | :37:22. | |
the tournament started, Two weeks ago I was resting, so I | :37:23. | :37:42. | |
was also a little bit concerned when you're having issues just a few days | :37:43. | :37:45. | |
before a big event, it's frustrating but I managed it well and I think I | :37:46. | :37:51. | |
played some good stuff. Today, like I said, was the best I've played so | :37:52. | :37:57. | |
far in the tournament and, yeah, I'm doing well, so hopefully I keep it | :37:58. | :37:59. | |
up. Roger Federer is through | :38:00. | :38:03. | |
but Rafael Nadal is out. Gilles Muller beat the two-time | :38:04. | :38:05. | |
champion in an epic five-setter. It was 15-13 in the decider | :38:06. | :38:08. | |
and the pair were on court for nearly five hours, | :38:09. | :38:11. | |
meaning Novak Djokovic's match had There was some criticism | :38:12. | :38:14. | |
of the scheduling of matches yesterday, world number one | :38:15. | :38:20. | |
Angelique Kerber said she was really surprised to find | :38:21. | :38:22. | |
herself on Court Two singles matches were on the show | :38:23. | :38:25. | |
courts. We will be talking about that later | :38:26. | :38:37. | |
in the programme. Away from Wimbledon, | :38:38. | :38:42. | |
Romelu Lukaku has completed his ?75 million | :38:43. | :38:47. | |
move from Everton He trained with his new team-mates | :38:48. | :38:48. | |
for the first time yesterday on United's pre-season | :38:49. | :38:52. | |
tour of the USA. We told you yesterday | :38:53. | :38:54. | |
about Wayne Rooney wearing his | :38:55. | :38:56. | |
Everton pyjamas in secret now he's got his hands | :38:57. | :38:57. | |
on the offical kit after returning He says he wants to win | :38:58. | :39:02. | |
trophies at his boyhood club and force his way back | :39:03. | :39:06. | |
into the national team, so pyjamas might not | :39:07. | :39:08. | |
be appropriate. I'm not going into retirement, | :39:09. | :39:10. | |
I'm ready to play. I want to win and be successful | :39:11. | :39:12. | |
at this football club It will build up in the next few | :39:13. | :39:18. | |
weeks and I'm excited. After a rest day, the Tour de France | :39:19. | :39:26. | |
resumes today with a stage Chris Froome holds the overall lead | :39:27. | :39:29. | |
but he'll have to make do | :39:30. | :39:34. | |
without team-mate Geraint Thomas who crashed out on Sunday | :39:35. | :39:37. | |
with a broken collarbone. Even without Geraint yesterday, | :39:38. | :39:47. | |
he crashed early on, As the rest of the teammates are. | :39:48. | :40:02. | |
Everyone has upped their game to defend the yellow easy. | :40:03. | :40:09. | |
Careful when you're warming up to play in Court 1. | :40:10. | :40:13. | |
As Rafa Nadal found out to his cost because the door frames | :40:14. | :40:16. | |
He and Gilles Muller saw the funny side, and the Spaniard seemed | :40:17. | :40:20. | |
to have no after effects during his epic last 16 match. | :40:21. | :40:23. | |
It's awkward because we know that he knows we are watching, he had to | :40:24. | :40:36. | |
style it out somewhat! I haven't seen that before, Sal, that would | :40:37. | :40:41. | |
have properly hurt! Terrible! You have to grin and get on with it. | :40:42. | :40:48. | |
Really bad. Exactly. Before we go, I've been talking about the muffins, | :40:49. | :40:53. | |
Johanna Konta has been baking muffins, the favourite ones she has | :40:54. | :40:56. | |
made our white chocolate and raspberry, I will try to get hold of | :40:57. | :41:01. | |
some of them. Sounds great, see you later! | :41:02. | :41:03. | |
A BBC investigation's found nearly 500 children under the age of 12 | :41:04. | :41:07. | |
have been investigated by police for sexting in England | :41:08. | :41:09. | |
Sexting is when someone uses a mobile phone to send indecent | :41:10. | :41:13. | |
Figures from a BBC Newcastle Freedom of Information Request show there's | :41:14. | :41:18. | |
David Smellie is the Head of Child Protection at Law firm | :41:19. | :41:22. | |
These figures are stark, they are shocking and probably they are the | :41:23. | :41:37. | |
tip of the iceberg in some ways, what do you make of them? I'm not | :41:38. | :41:42. | |
surprised the figures are increasing, but it's important to | :41:43. | :41:45. | |
remember it's not an epidemic that is happening. In an NSPCC survey of | :41:46. | :41:52. | |
last year, they estimate approximately 13% of children have | :41:53. | :41:55. | |
taken images of themselves topless and about 3% have taken images fully | :41:56. | :42:00. | |
naked. That's the scale of the problem but I'm not surprised by the | :42:01. | :42:04. | |
figures you quote. You're saying some of those are sending those | :42:05. | :42:10. | |
images to people they don't know? The survey says about 55% of | :42:11. | :42:15. | |
children who have taken those images have shared them with another | :42:16. | :42:19. | |
person. About 30% have actually shared them with someone they don't | :42:20. | :42:22. | |
know. Again, which is pretty shocking. Very serious. What crime | :42:23. | :42:29. | |
are they committing when they do that? The law of the land was | :42:30. | :42:34. | |
created before anyone thought about the idea of sharing naked images on | :42:35. | :42:40. | |
a phone. The laws which are broken are the taking of an indecent | :42:41. | :42:44. | |
photograph of a child and that law is broken even if the image you're | :42:45. | :42:50. | |
taking is one of yourself. The possession of that image and the | :42:51. | :42:57. | |
sharing and distribution of that image is breaking the law. The | :42:58. | :43:01. | |
police are changing the way they are dealing with it, what is the change | :43:02. | :43:05. | |
and is it helpful? The Home Office and police have done an excellent | :43:06. | :43:09. | |
job. Chief Constable Simon Bailey and his team have been in charge of | :43:10. | :43:13. | |
a change in public policy on this. What they're seeking to do is | :43:14. | :43:19. | |
separate out low-risk cases, for example where the activity is | :43:20. | :43:23. | |
consensual and age-appropriate, and seek not to criminalise those cases, | :43:24. | :43:29. | |
and higher risk cases, where there are adults involved and coercion and | :43:30. | :43:35. | |
blackmail, and there's age inappropriate activity, those are | :43:36. | :43:38. | |
the ones they will seek to take forward. It would be handy to get | :43:39. | :43:42. | |
advice, no doubt many parents watching this morning, what advice | :43:43. | :43:47. | |
would you give? The advice I would give is to talk, tried to Tour de | :43:48. | :43:54. | |
Yorkshire Aldonin about this. -- try to talk to your children. It's | :43:55. | :44:00. | |
futile from preventing technology happening and creeping up. The other | :44:01. | :44:04. | |
day I spoke to my children in the car and I asked them, how common is | :44:05. | :44:09. | |
sexting? You know when you've got your children trapped in the car, | :44:10. | :44:12. | |
that's the perfect time for that discussion so I would say to parents | :44:13. | :44:16. | |
to talk to your children and get it out into a family discussion rather | :44:17. | :44:21. | |
than keeping it under wraps. The important thing about the police | :44:22. | :44:25. | |
change is otherwise you would see possibly hundreds of children with | :44:26. | :44:30. | |
criminal records from this? That's why I think the police changes are | :44:31. | :44:35. | |
so good, because the changes do two things. First they encourage schools | :44:36. | :44:40. | |
and other organisations not to report cases that are low risk, and | :44:41. | :44:44. | |
secondly when they are reported to the police, the police have to deal | :44:45. | :44:47. | |
with them as a crime but now they have something called Outcome 21 | :44:48. | :44:51. | |
which enables no further outcome and no criminal record. They take it | :44:52. | :44:56. | |
seriously but don't pursue it. Thanks more. -- tank through much. | :44:57. | :45:00. | |
-- thanks very much. And we've put some advice | :45:01. | :45:02. | |
on our Twitter and Facebook pages on how to talk to your | :45:03. | :45:05. | |
child about 'sexting'. Carol's at Wimbledon with a look | :45:06. | :45:09. | |
at this morning's weather. It is certainly noticeably chilly | :45:10. | :45:23. | |
here. We can also see interruption to play but behind me you can see | :45:24. | :45:27. | |
the court still covered, outside courts, we are likely to have some | :45:28. | :45:32. | |
covers going on for much of today. There will be a dry interlude in the | :45:33. | :45:36. | |
afternoon. If we look at the forecast for Wimbledon today, what | :45:37. | :45:41. | |
we have is a cloudy start. A little spot of drizzle this morning and as | :45:42. | :45:45. | |
we head into the early part of the afternoon we will see rain. A dry | :45:46. | :45:51. | |
interlude again and later some heavy and persistent rain coming our way | :45:52. | :45:56. | |
into the evening as well. More than some parts of seen for a while. That | :45:57. | :46:02. | |
is the forecast for the southern parts, rain drifts eastward for | :46:03. | :46:07. | |
Scotland. Northern England has sunshine and showers. If you start | :46:08. | :46:10. | |
across southern England this morning at nine o'clock, there are bright | :46:11. | :46:16. | |
spells of sunshine and showers. That holds true to East Anglia into the | :46:17. | :46:19. | |
Midlands and then as we drift to northern England that there is a | :46:20. | :46:22. | |
coherent band of rain. Persistent though not heavy. In Scotland, heavy | :46:23. | :46:28. | |
showers and cloudy. Northern Ireland has sunshine in the north, cloud | :46:29. | :46:34. | |
south with not far away. In Wales, heavy outbursts of rain around | :46:35. | :46:37. | |
Cardiff and we also have rain coming in across south-west England. The | :46:38. | :46:43. | |
first band of rain this morning is going to be moving from the west to | :46:44. | :46:48. | |
the east. Currently across counties, for example Gloucestershire to the | :46:49. | :46:51. | |
Home Counties, it is largely dry. The rain is coming through the | :46:52. | :46:55. | |
course of the morning, getting over into eastern areas. And we have a | :46:56. | :47:02. | |
lull and already worrying coming in across Wales. That will also drift | :47:03. | :47:06. | |
eastwards and that is heavy and persistent rain. Feeling cool in | :47:07. | :47:12. | |
that rain band. As we head into the evening the rain will continue to | :47:13. | :47:15. | |
push over towards East Anglia, the south-east, Kent, and by the end of | :47:16. | :47:21. | |
the day some of us will of had about 40 millimetres of rainfall, some a | :47:22. | :47:24. | |
little more, some a little less. Overnight in the northern half of | :47:25. | :47:28. | |
the country there are clear skies with temperatures falling to single | :47:29. | :47:30. | |
figures. Enough here and there have in sheltered Glenn's great touch of | :47:31. | :47:35. | |
frost. A fresh night whereas it has been muggy lately. Far more | :47:36. | :47:42. | |
comfortable. Tomorrow morning we begin with rain in the south-east | :47:43. | :47:45. | |
that these rapidly and in high-pressure will settle in. Fine | :47:46. | :47:49. | |
with a lot of sunshine. Temperatures up are not compare to what we are | :47:50. | :47:55. | |
looking at. A high of 23. As we head into Thursday, again, a lot of dry | :47:56. | :47:59. | |
weather with a lot of sunshine. Some showers in the north and west and | :48:00. | :48:03. | |
later on in the day a new weather front shows its hand across | :48:04. | :48:06. | |
north-west Scotland. That will be introducing some rain. Temperature | :48:07. | :48:09. | |
white come again, roughly where we should be at this stage in July. | :48:10. | :48:15. | |
Before I go, pollen levels today. They have been high but with all the | :48:16. | :48:19. | |
rain around they will not be quite so high. They will be moderate. That | :48:20. | :48:23. | |
at least as good news for some of us. I love how you always send an | :48:24. | :48:30. | |
good news. Thank you. How interesting to see the workings of | :48:31. | :48:32. | |
Wimbledon behind her. There's a call from business leaders | :48:33. | :48:33. | |
today for companies to do more The group says it could add as much | :48:34. | :48:36. | |
as ?130 billion to the economy. Radio 5 Live Wake Up | :48:37. | :48:42. | |
to Money's Colletta Smith is with us Yes, that's right - | :48:43. | :48:46. | |
the UK's low productivity is a puzzle that politicians | :48:47. | :48:51. | |
and businesses are very keen to solve - but first let's | :48:52. | :48:54. | |
have a look first at how we got Productivity is the measure of how | :48:55. | :48:57. | |
much one person can contribute So it's a glance at how | :48:58. | :49:03. | |
hard we're working - but also how smart - | :49:04. | :49:09. | |
and how much we're investing Since the financial crisis the UK | :49:10. | :49:12. | |
has been falling behind a lot of our neighbours in this-it takes | :49:13. | :49:17. | |
a German worker just four days The UK has very high employment | :49:18. | :49:20. | |
but it's the quality of those jobs that is worrying | :49:21. | :49:30. | |
politicians and businesses. Firms not having the money to invest | :49:31. | :49:34. | |
in new machinery is another factor. It's important because raising | :49:35. | :49:37. | |
productivity should mean getting But since the financial crisis - | :49:38. | :49:41. | |
productivity hasn't really improved and the latest figures for the first | :49:42. | :49:49. | |
three months of this year show Two years ago, the government asked | :49:50. | :50:04. | |
a group of businesses to look at why the UK lags behind and how | :50:05. | :50:09. | |
businesses can be more productive. They were led by Sir Charlie | :50:10. | :50:12. | |
Mayfield, the chairman of the John Lewis partnership and he is joining | :50:13. | :50:19. | |
us now. Good morning. First of all, businesses, chancellors have all | :50:20. | :50:22. | |
been scratching their heads trying to solve this. Are you any closer to | :50:23. | :50:28. | |
finding an answer? What we want to do is move this from being a puzzle | :50:29. | :50:32. | |
to an opportunity. It is an important one, like you say, because | :50:33. | :50:36. | |
although productivity sounds like a word that economists use, it really | :50:37. | :50:41. | |
matters to things like wages and competitiveness and growth and | :50:42. | :50:44. | |
ultimately to employment. So what we have identified is that there are... | :50:45. | :50:48. | |
If we can get many businesses to do a little bit better, we can make a | :50:49. | :50:54. | |
huge difference to the economy and affect all those things. Are you | :50:55. | :50:58. | |
putting emphasis then on the business to do the work rather than, | :50:59. | :51:00. | |
necessarily, calling on the government to improve infrastructure | :51:01. | :51:03. | |
or to spend any more muggy on technology? The government has an | :51:04. | :51:08. | |
important role to play. It needs to put in place those conditions. That | :51:09. | :51:12. | |
most of the problem has to be solved by business. It happens in companies | :51:13. | :51:16. | |
at firm level. That is where action needs to be taken. What we have | :51:17. | :51:20. | |
discovered is that a lot of the opportunity can be grasped not by | :51:21. | :51:26. | |
companies having to go from, sort of, making widgets to winches or | :51:27. | :51:29. | |
something completely new, they just have to do a bit more of what | :51:30. | :51:33. | |
companies are already doing in their sector, and the companies of the | :51:34. | :51:37. | |
same size. Could make an enormous difference to this is about taking | :51:38. | :51:41. | |
thousands of companies are moving up by an inch, rather than by the match | :51:42. | :51:46. | |
I to take a few up by a mile. How do you do that? Have you encourage to | :51:47. | :51:50. | |
be more productive? First of all, business is not good at being told | :51:51. | :51:54. | |
what to do. We want to engage them and today we launch a movement. A | :51:55. | :51:59. | |
movement that we want to engage thousands of businesses across the | :52:00. | :52:03. | |
UK. We will have a small organisation at the centre of this, | :52:04. | :52:07. | |
but of will work with thousands of different employers across the UK. | :52:08. | :52:11. | |
Basically we will provide three things. We have modern tools which | :52:12. | :52:15. | |
companies to figure out how good they are at some of those management | :52:16. | :52:18. | |
practices. Things like colour management, leadership, future | :52:19. | :52:22. | |
planning, some good but basic stuff that people can do things about. We | :52:23. | :52:27. | |
will provide them with data and analytics to help the measure | :52:28. | :52:29. | |
productivity and figure out what best practice looks like. And then | :52:30. | :52:34. | |
we will also help them to get in touch with other people so that they | :52:35. | :52:38. | |
can work out how they can make improvements and encourage | :52:39. | :52:40. | |
communities of businesses across the country to come together and share | :52:41. | :52:44. | |
ideas and figure out how they can make what we hope will be a big | :52:45. | :52:47. | |
improvement. It is interesting that you were saying it is about | :52:48. | :52:51. | |
management and leadership style. At a time when we have seen that | :52:52. | :52:57. | |
workers pay stick at a level and, yet, the bosses and managers at ward | :52:58. | :53:01. | |
level have seen their pay rise. The thing about productivity is that | :53:02. | :53:07. | |
everybody wants to be paid more, and that is a good thing, that wages are | :53:08. | :53:11. | |
rising. The wages can only rise in jobs can only stay at their level of | :53:12. | :53:16. | |
you can dry productivity at the same time. So, you know, the two go very | :53:17. | :53:20. | |
much hand in hand. I also think it is important to think about the | :53:21. | :53:24. | |
workplace and the role of work in a wider context. People go to work for | :53:25. | :53:29. | |
lots of reason that much of it is a sense of the film and. I think | :53:30. | :53:32. | |
Matthew Taylor's report today would discuss the importance of good work. | :53:33. | :53:36. | |
A lot of what we do today in launching this movement is very much | :53:37. | :53:47. | |
is in line with a. -- that. Thank you very much, we will see later. | :53:48. | :53:49. | |
It's 100 years since the first mass-produced tractors came | :53:50. | :53:51. | |
They were sent to help during the First World War, | :53:52. | :53:55. | |
when many farmers were on the frontline. | :53:56. | :53:57. | |
Breakfast's Tim Muffett is at the Great Yorkshire Show | :53:58. | :54:00. | |
where the centenary is being marked. | :54:01. | :54:11. | |
I would be disappointed, Tim, if you were not riding a tractor. I am so | :54:12. | :54:19. | |
selling a boyhood dream. The great Yorkshire show, first held in 1838 | :54:20. | :54:25. | |
but this year's showers celebrating 100 years, as you say, of the | :54:26. | :54:32. | |
mass-produced tractor. I'm currently writing a Ford, built in the 1970s. | :54:33. | :54:35. | |
These machines, they transformed agriculture. They transformed the | :54:36. | :54:40. | |
way a farming community worked. I. It now and put the clutch on and | :54:41. | :54:47. | |
pull that. Safety checks, complete. I will jump off and walk down here | :54:48. | :54:52. | |
and we will go and find a man who knows a thing or two about the | :54:53. | :54:56. | |
vintage tractors. This collection is something and it ranges right | :54:57. | :55:03. | |
through the past 100 years. Brines stood proudly by... What is this? | :55:04. | :55:10. | |
This is a 1917 Ford Ministry of Munitions tractor that we brought | :55:11. | :55:15. | |
over in the First World War to help British agriculture, because all of | :55:16. | :55:19. | |
the men and horses had gone off to the First World War. Henry Ford, we | :55:20. | :55:24. | |
know of him as the person who made a model T car and I did not know he | :55:25. | :55:28. | |
was a big deal in the world of tractors. This was this first | :55:29. | :55:32. | |
tractor. Who was raised on a farm and wanted to get rid of the | :55:33. | :55:35. | |
drudgery associated with the horse. He put this mind to building a | :55:36. | :55:39. | |
tractor and this is what happened. And it transformed the world of | :55:40. | :55:42. | |
agriculture, didn't it? Yes, it did. He got rid of veal... Horses were | :55:43. | :55:48. | |
still raw used until the 1940s and 1950s but mechanisation had come to | :55:49. | :55:56. | |
could not be stopped. Thank you. We will talk more later. As we walk | :55:57. | :56:00. | |
along here we can see a chronological display, if you like, | :56:01. | :56:03. | |
of the way that tractors have changed over the years. Of course, | :56:04. | :56:07. | |
when it comes to modern day farming, they are an integral part of the way | :56:08. | :56:13. | |
a farm is run. And you are a farmer, what impact they have on the farm? | :56:14. | :56:17. | |
It is massive. They are used every day and the amount of work that they | :56:18. | :56:21. | |
actually do, the amount of manpower they have taken out over the years | :56:22. | :56:25. | |
is phenomenal, really. One tractor now can do the work of what 50 | :56:26. | :56:31. | |
people used to do. And as far as the future goes, what changes are | :56:32. | :56:37. | |
coming? Everything is getting automated now with autos via so you | :56:38. | :56:43. | |
are able to put your wheels within two centimetres of where they were | :56:44. | :56:46. | |
before and it is all about efficiency, really. We will talk | :56:47. | :56:50. | |
later. I am in tractor heaven here. We will talk more to those who run | :56:51. | :56:56. | |
them and whose careers, really, are dependent upon tractors and their | :56:57. | :56:57. | |
success. Thank you very much. Lovely to see | :56:58. | :57:01. | |
them this morning. Up close and personal with a tractor. That was a | :57:02. | :57:06. | |
full frontal at the end that. Time now for news, travel and weather | :57:07. | :00:27. | |
I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom | :00:28. | :00:28. | |
Plenty more on our website at the usual address. | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
Now, though, it's back to Louise and Dan. | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
A review for the government calls for the end of the cash | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
With suggestions for tackling low-paid jobs, zero hours contracts | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
and the gig economy, it says the government should strive | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
And from paying more wages to providing things like sick pay, | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
I'll be finding out what it could mean for businesses | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
and getting some of their reaction to the proposals. | :00:57. | :01:09. | |
Good morning, it's Tuesday the 11th of July. | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
For the first time since 1984 there's a British woman | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
Yes, that woman is Johanna Konta. She's due to play Simona Halep on | :01:20. | :01:36. | |
centre court later this afternoon. Monza is also through. That means is | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
the first time in 44 years there's been a British man and woman in the | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
quarter-finals. -- Andy Murray. What a night last night for Rafa Nadal, | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
he went out of Wimbledon losing in five sets in just under five hours. | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
Dealing with dementia, how new technology could help people cope | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
with the condition at home. From farmers | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
on the frontline to modern day machinery, | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
we'll find out about 100 years Much cooler today than of late, | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
the risk of interruption today. Heavy rain cracking from the west to | :02:11. | :02:26. | |
the east causing interruptions. A lot of surface water and spray on | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
the roads. In northern England, Northern Ireland and Scotland there | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
will be sunshine and showers. More with that and Sal later in the | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
programme. An end to cash-in-hand jobs | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
and changing the rules on the gig economy, just two of | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
the recommendations in a major The Matthew Taylor review also says | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
there are too many people who are being treated | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
like cogs in a machine Our economics correspondent | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
Andy Verity reports. In the last ten years, | :02:58. | :03:05. | |
the economy's generated record numbers of jobs and the lowest | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
unemployment rate in nearly But according to the man who led | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
a government-commissioned review, more jobs hasn't always | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
meant good jobs. In my view, there's too much work, | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
particularly at the bottom end of the labour market, | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
that isn't of a high enough quality and there's too many people not | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
having their rights fully respected and there are too many people | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
treated at work like cogs in a machine rather than being human | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
beings and there are too many people who don't see a route | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
from their current job to progress The review will recommend that | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
if someone is controlled and supervised then they're | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
classified as a worker, Those workers may be entitled | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
to benefits like holiday pay and employers may have to pay | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
National Insurance at 13.8%. That's broadly in line | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
with a landmark court ruling in a case brought by this former | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
Uber driver Yaseen Aslam. I don't think it helps me | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
as a worker for what I've been fighting for in the tribunal, | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
and that's what's concerning because the workers haven't been | :04:07. | :04:08. | |
involved in the process The review also makes a bigger point | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
that self-employed work from plumbers to painters yields far | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
less tax for the Treasury, especially if the work | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
is cash in hand. For consumers, though, | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
the recommendations are likely to mean inexpensive services | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
will no longer be as cheap. And we'll be talking | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
to Matthew Taylor, the author Theresa May will make her first big | :04:29. | :04:38. | |
speech later this morning since being re-elected | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
as Prime Minister in June. Her party is coming under pressure | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
with no outright majority, and yesterday Conservative MP | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
Anne Marie Morris was suspended of her using a racially-offensive | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
term. Our political correspondent | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
Chris Mason joins us How does this latest controversy | :04:55. | :05:10. | |
affect this tiny majority? Good morning, two things matter in | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
politics, majority and authority. What happened yesterday with the | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
Conservative MP, it arguably chips away at both elements of those | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
things for the Conservatives. Firstly technically because, to use | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
the Westminster jargon, she has had the whip removed, that means she's | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
no longer a Conservative MP. She is an MP, still in the House of | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
Commons, but she isn't a Conservative MP any more but in all | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
likelihood she is still pretty likely to vote with the | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
Conservatives in crucial votes. That may not make any difference in terms | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
of the numbers and the majority. In terms of authority, the Prime | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
Minister wanted to be seen to react very quickly to this yesterday in | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
suspending her membership of the Parliamentary party, but | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
nonetheless, it is very much yet again another headline that Theresa | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
May would have rather not seem. The speech she is giving later this | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
morning, the context of which is what you'd been talking about, this | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
business of working practices, in reality all of the questions are | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
around Theresa May and how long she can last as Prime Minister. Thursday | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
marks her first anniversary in 10 Downing Street, plenty are wondering | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
if she will be around long enough to see a second. Thanks very much, | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
Chris. Britain will have men's and women's | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
quarter-finalists at Wimbledon for the first time since 1973 | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
after wins for Johanna Konta Sixth seed Konta beat | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
France's Caroline Garcia on Court 1 yesterday afternoon, | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
she's the first British woman It's those positions, | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
those situations that I dream of, or dreamed of, when I was a little | :06:44. | :06:52. | |
girl and even now to be part of those battles on big stages, | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
so I think that's really what it's Back at Wimbledon later with Sally | :06:57. | :07:12. | |
and Carol Ann Johanna Konta goes again today to try to reach the last | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
four of Wimbledon, takes on Simona Halep to get into the last four. And | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
clearly enjoying it -- Carol and Johanna Konta. | :07:22. | :07:23. | |
A man has been charged over an acid attack on a woman and her cousin | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
John Tomlin, who's 24, is alleged to have thrown acid | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
at Resham Khan and Jameel Muhktar through their car window. | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
Both suffered severe burns to the face and body. | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
An American military aircraft has crashed in the state of Mississippi, | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
killing at least 16 people, according to US media. | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
It crashed about 100 miles north of Jackson, | :07:47. | :07:48. | |
The type of aircraft is one of the most extensively used | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
in the military, but they can also be modified to transport cargo | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
A BBC investigation has found nearly 500 children aged 12 and under have | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
been questioned by police for sexting since 2013. | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
The practice is when someone uses a mobile phone to send indecent | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
Figures obtained by BBC Newcastle show there's been a steady increase | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
in the number of people being investigated, with a boy aged | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
Clearly the NSPCC don't want children criminalised for this sort | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
of behaviour and it's really important that police are talking | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
to children in a restorative way, looking at the safeguarding issues | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
for that child, making sure that the child isn't criminalised. | :08:22. | :08:35. | |
President Trump's eldest son is facing further allegations | :08:36. | :08:37. | |
about a meeting he held with a Russian lawyer during last | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
The New York Times says Donald Trump Jr was informed | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
in advance by e-mail that the information offered | :08:47. | :08:48. | |
by the woman was part of a Russian government effort | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
The Senate Intelligence Committee wants to speak to him | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
about the meeting, which in a tweet he's described | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
This is my favourite news story of the day. | :08:58. | :09:09. | |
If you are reaching for your second or even your third cup of coffee | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
Scientists behind two new studies say they've uncovered the clearest | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
evidence yet that the beverage could be beneficial to health. | :09:20. | :09:21. | |
But others have urged caution, saying there's no actual proof | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
Two studies, across Europe, I'm in! I have to say, you are a different | :09:25. | :09:39. | |
human once you've had one. I don't drink it, never have, probably never | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
will, you try every day to get me to get involved. You are different | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
after you've had one. That's not good, is it? Your quiet! | :09:51. | :09:52. | |
Plans to almost double the number of Welsh speakers | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
The Welsh government wants one million people to be | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
There will be more teaching at an earlier age, and more | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
Welsh-speaking teachers in primary and secondary schools. | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
Our Wales correspondent Sian Lloyd reports. | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
At this school, children's lessons are taught through | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
Leaders from the Welsh government came to spread the word | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
about their Welsh language goal, supported by a guest popular | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
We've laid down the gauntlet if you like. | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
It's a big task, but it's achievable. | :10:29. | :10:30. | |
Expanding Welsh medium education is at the heart of the strategy. | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
It includes creating 150 Welsh language nursery groups over | :10:37. | :10:38. | |
the number of Welsh speaking teachers. | :10:39. | :10:48. | |
They have recognised that there must be opportunities to learn and use | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
There is also a recognition that they need support from parents. | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
For the parents, they need to be encouraged. | :10:57. | :10:58. | |
will all the correspondence be in Welsh? | :10:59. | :11:09. | |
We want to take parents with us. The Welsh language has equal status with | :11:10. | :11:23. | |
English. If you're living in Wales then it's voluntary. It makes sense, | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
doesn't it, to keep the language alive. Brought up and have family in | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
Wales but don't speak Welsh, wasn't forced on me so I don't want to do | :11:34. | :11:35. | |
it. The Welsh language is celebrated | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
every year at a cultural festival, which welcomes both those who do | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
and do not speak Welsh. The Welsh government wants more | :11:42. | :11:50. | |
people to be able to communicate in Welsh. But the public's appetite for | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
change remains to be seen. Sian Lloyd, BBC News, Cardiff. | :11:56. | :12:04. | |
For the first time in history, scientists got a close up look | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
of one of the most recognisable features of Jupiter, | :12:09. | :12:10. | |
the centuries-old storm known as the Great Red Spot. | :12:11. | :12:12. | |
Doesn't sound grand enough, does it? Should have a better name. | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
We'll see the first images of the storm later this week. | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
The aim is to collect data about the composition of the clouds | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
and find out what lies beneath them. | :12:23. | :12:24. | |
Thank you for all your Jupiter based facts this morning. It takes 12 | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
Earth years to orbit the sun and a day on Jupiter is ten hours long. | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
Just ten hours! Imagine how much you would be missing out on. It means a | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
shift would be quite short, a ten hour day. Up I'm up for that! -- I'm | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
up for that. Workers should be treated like human | :12:44. | :12:45. | |
beings and not like cogs in a machine, that's | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
the conclusion of a review in to the state of | :12:49. | :12:50. | |
the British workplace. The report also called for an end | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
to the cash-in-hand economy, which is worth about | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
?6 billion a year. He joins us now | :12:57. | :12:58. | |
from central London. Matthew, good morning, lovely to | :12:59. | :13:06. | |
speak to you on Breakfast this morning. An end to the cash in hand | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
economy, how would that work and what with that look like? This | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
morning as people are hearing this I'm sure they're thinking about | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
handymen, window cleaners, cleaners, childminders, people like that, how | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
do you end an economy like that? This is a small part of a report | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
which is about how we improve the quality of work in the British | :13:27. | :13:35. | |
economy, but one of the points we make is when we talk about | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
technology in jobs, we're often pessimistic about the impact of | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
technology in terms of losing jobs but technology can make things | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
easier for people at work and one of the suggestions we make is over time | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
we can move to a situation where when we pay for Labour, | :13:49. | :13:50. | |
self-employed labour, a window cleaner, we can do it without cash | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
and that will allow that person to pay their tax as they are and, as we | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
do as employees so they don't have to fill in the own risk tax returns | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
and it means at the same time they can save money for a pension or | :14:04. | :14:11. | |
insure them against sickness and one of moving to a system like that it | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
means for those that want to make sure when we pay for those services | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
the person we are paying is paying their taxes, that system would make | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
that more likely. You say it's a small part of a bigger study, let's | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
talk about the study, you have spoken to hundreds of workers, what | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
are the main messages they say they want from the people that employ | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
them? We're really good as a country in creating jobs. Were seeing more | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
people in work than ever before, low unemployment, lots of flexible work | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
and those inflexible work like it but there's a problem about quality | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
of work especially among lower paid lower skilled workers. We have to | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
tackle exploitation. There are too many people who suffer one-sided | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
flexibility, the employers have lots of flexibility but that isn't how it | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
feels to them. They are insecure and they don't feel like they have a | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
voice at work. Secondly our system is a bit out of date. We need more | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
clarity about four example who is self-employed and who is a worker, | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
who should pay National Insurance and who shouldn't. Thirdly there are | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
some bigger underlying things we need to do if we want a good work | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
economy, things like improving people's employability and working | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
in sectors, because certain sectors like social care, hospitality has a | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
proponent saw people in lower paid, lower skilled work so we need to | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
work in those sectors to make sure those people have good jobs and have | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
the possibility to progress to better paid jobs. You say in terms | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
of bringing about that change you say that's required, it's not about | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
national regulation but responsible corporate governance. How do you | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
make sure these companies solve a regular? How do you promote that, | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
how can that change take place -- self-regulatory? -- self regulate. | :15:57. | :16:03. | |
What we say in the report is the most important thing is the way | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
people are treated by their managers and their company but we're not | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
saying we can rely on salt regulation, there are a number of | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
things that will protect people, especially people working in these | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
flexible ways, zero hours workers, agency workers, people who don't | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
have the security and certainty of people who are full employees so | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
there are a range of measures we suggest to improve the way we | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
protect those people to make sure they understand their rights and | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
they can exorcise those rights. Can I bring forward a point the TUC | :16:38. | :16:44. | |
said, the balance of power will shift under your recommendations and | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
the Unite union have compare them to a dog that is all bark and no bite, | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
are you confident your review can bring about change? I think my | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
review if it was fully implemented would be the biggest reset of the | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
way we think about work and regulate work for a generation. We're talking | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
about fundamental shifts. Media view a couple of examples. At the moment | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
the threshold for independent representation at work, someone who | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
represents you, for rights to consultation is 10% of employees | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
have to vote for that, we want that at 2% so it is easy for people to | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
get independent representation. We are talking about the idea of a | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
higher minimum wage for people on lower hours contracts for the extra | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
hours they get, so in a sense we are saying if you are only guaranteed no | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
hours or two or three hours and you are asked to work more then you | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
should get paid more, that's partly to persuade organisations to think | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
harder about how they can give people more certainty. We're talking | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
about a range of measures to make it easier for people to enforce their | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
rights and to ensure that everybody understands they have holiday pay | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
and statutory sick pay and they can exercise those rights. It's up to | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
the trade unions to determine their position, but there's no question | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
worthy report to be fully implemented it would be a major step | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
forward for workers and vulnerable workers. | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
Fascinating to talk to you this morning and interesting to see what | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
the economy will look like in the future. | :18:18. | :18:19. | |
Carol is at Wimbledon again for us this morning. Quite chilly this | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
morning, she is wearing her coat. Certainly is. Good morning and | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
welcome. Not just a little bit chilly but we expect some rain. | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
Currently they are taking the covers of some of the outside courts but | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
they will probably be in use as we go through the course of today. | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
Especially later on. Centre court was the first court to have the | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
cover on, way back in 1922 but all courts that covers since 1971. Of | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
course, the roof on Centre Court was first used in 2009, ensuring the | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
play continued. You can see behind me the roof being built across court | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
number one. That will be completed in 2019. The forecast for Wimbledon | :19:00. | :19:06. | |
today is a varied one. We begin with a dry weather, a bit of cloud | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
around. We see some rain early afternoon and then another dry slot | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
and then later in the afternoon and into the evening we will return to | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
heavy and persistent rain is feeling notably cooler than it was | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
yesterday. Today we have got that rain, it will also affect us moving | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
from west to east across parts of Wales in southern England were as | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
the Scotland and Northern Ireland had sunshine and showers. This | :19:33. | :19:34. | |
morning at nine across southern England we have bright spells, sunny | :19:35. | :19:42. | |
spells and we have showers that is the same to East Anglia and | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
Midlands. To the far north of northern England into Scotland, a | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
lot of cloud, a couple of bright breaks and some showers in Scotland. | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
For Northern Ireland, the northern half has sunshine this thing, the | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
south Seas more cloud. Rain not too far away. For Wales, a lot of cloud | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
and persistent rain, not particularly heavy for most of Wales | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
although in the south it is. For south-west England, a similar story, | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
there is a lot of cloud around and we also have some rain moving in. | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
That band of rain will continue to journey eastwards, so to start the | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
day across Gloucestershire and into Dorset, Hampshire, the Home | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
Counties, the forecast is similar to what we have here. Bright spells | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
with showers. Will not be long before the rain moves over from the | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
west towards the east. There will be a dry load and then rain across | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
Wales and the south-west. Heavy and more persistent rain and zooms | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
across as well. North of that, Scotland and Northern Ireland, | :20:40. | :20:41. | |
northern England, sunshine and showers. As we have through the | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
evening in overnight with the heavy rain continuing to move eastwards. | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
Some into the North Sea. By the time it does some parts of the south will | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
add 40 millimetres of rain, possibly more, some a little less. North of | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
that again, from northern England and Northern Ireland, Scotland, | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
there will be some clear skies, temperatures dipping in Scotland | :21:01. | :21:03. | |
into single figures. A touch of frost in some short of Glen stick in | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
the south, a much more comfortable night for sleeping where it has been | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
so muggy oblate. Tomorrow we begin with rain in the south-east first | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
thing. That will clear, high pressure builds in and then we all | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
have a dry day with sunny spells. Temperatures are responding | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
accordingly. We are at a high of 22 or 23 deep as we head into Thursday, | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
again, a lot of dry weather. Sunshine around, some showers, | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
particularly in the north and the west and then later in the day, | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
again, a new weather front shows its hand, coming in across north-west | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
Scotland. Temperatures roughly where they should be at this stage in | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
July. Just before I go, one more thing, if you have an allergy to | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
pollen today, the levels across the UK today are low or moderate. Music | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
to my ears. Look at that, ending with some good news. I am looking at | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
the flowers, so wonderful to have you their. I was watching Wimbledon | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
yesterday, Carol, I know you extend on through the day and you got told | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
off by sue for mentioning the R word. She was not happy when you | :22:08. | :22:14. | |
mentioned rain. She is lovely but it will rain today. Don't you worry, | :22:15. | :22:21. | |
Carol, now that you have said it is well. It is 722, we will be back | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
Wimbledon in about ten minutes time. This morning | :22:28. | :22:29. | |
we are looking at the way dementia patients can stay at home for longer | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
than using new technology. The idea is being trialled in the UK | :22:34. | :22:34. | |
and means people with the condition will be monitored remotely by a team | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
that can track physical activity, Breakfast's John Maguire's | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
been to take a look. Fulfil in June Bell, for whom the | :22:42. | :22:54. | |
home they have lived end four years is where their hearts are. They are | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
trialling technology that should help June to stay here as long as | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
possible. She was diagnosed with dementia one year ago. One of our | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
aims has always been to stay as long as we can within the home. Our home. | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
And what the technology has done has enabled us to do that. Because we | :23:14. | :23:19. | |
intend to die in our beds, so to speak. It makes you feel safer, | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
doesn't it? It does. It does to think that somebody is out there, | :23:26. | :23:33. | |
concerned about me. I think that is, you know, it is quite touching, | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
really. That people are so kind. This is how the system works. | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
Various sensors in the house monitor the movements of June and also | :23:45. | :23:52. | |
readily check the hills cloud pressure, to a cloud oxygen levels | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
for example. That information is immediately sent to this clinical | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
monitoring team and staff here can combine gin's medical and | :24:01. | :24:03. | |
environment or data to build up a fuller picture of her hills. If you | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
look at some of the motion data here with you can see she is moving in | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
the living room, hallway, you also see how often she was in bed. You | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
can look at some body temperature and all this data could suggest | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
comic issue being agitated? Is there infection? Putting everything | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
together could give us a good picture about how well she is. There | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
are currently 200 patients with mild or moderate dementia on the trial, | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
based in the Surrey in North East Hampshire NHS area. They're looking | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
for more volunteers. The red stethoscope and an on-screen alert | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
warms the team of potential problems. They may then called the | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
household, from medical teams or ask staff on the outside the society to | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
pay a visit. Another so sleepout has been going off a lot. The technology | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
is also useful for GPs and hospital staff. This contained in June's | :25:00. | :25:07. | |
recent readings, a day by day patient record with a better insight | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
into her health. It has been an important aspect of this project | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
that people on the trial have been able to take their data to their GP | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
or consultant so that they have that set of data to make clinical | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
judgement in a much more effective way. The results of the trial, the | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
first of its kind in the UK, will not be known until next year. But | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
early indicators are positive. These gadgets are helping people stay | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
longer in their homes, safe and secure in the knowledge that helped, | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
if needed, is just a phone call or a mouse click away. We will be looking | :25:45. | :25:52. | |
at that, if you have questions for later on, get in contact with us via | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
the usual numbers and social media is well. 25 minutes past seven, and | :25:57. | :26:03. | |
Marks Spencer have just relieved their latest profits. Best of the | :26:04. | :26:12. | |
big it is slowly turning around Marks Spencer. They released their | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
results last three months and they seem overall an increase of 2.7% in | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
profit. Most of that is thanks to their strong food sale, but the big | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
four we had previously seen in their clothes has improved a little. The | :26:26. | :26:31. | |
boss says they have not needed to fail the season, so they sell more | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
things at full price. That positive news seems to be reflected more | :26:37. | :26:39. | |
widely as well with figures from the British retail Consortium showing | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
that retail sales were up by 2% last month which is one of the warmest | :26:44. | :26:46. | |
June is on record. The weather is believed to have led to more people | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
spending on summer clothing, health and beauty products. There is a call | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
from business leaders this morning for companies to do more to make | :26:55. | :26:57. | |
workers more productive. They say it could add up to ?130 billion to the | :26:58. | :27:07. | |
economy. The group, led by the John Lewis chairman was set up by the | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
government in nine years ago to look at how to boost the UK's | :27:12. | :27:14. | |
productivity which lags behind many other countries. Thank you very | :27:15. | :27:22. | |
much. Title is fine by this morning. It is nearly half past seven. Time | :27:23. | :27:25. | |
for news, travel and Hello, this is Breakfast, | :27:26. | :30:51. | |
with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. I miss time that! No time to drink | :30:52. | :30:58. | |
that! -- miss timed. Let's tell you about the latest | :30:59. | :31:08. | |
news: An end to cash-in-hand jobs | :31:09. | :31:10. | |
and changing the rules on the minimum wage, | :31:11. | :31:12. | |
just two of the recommendations in a major review | :31:13. | :31:14. | |
into the way we work. The study, led by a former | :31:15. | :31:17. | |
adviser to Tony Blair, Matthew Taylor, recommends that | :31:18. | :31:20. | |
people working in what's known as the gig economy, | :31:21. | :31:22. | |
where workers get paid per task, should receive new legal protections | :31:23. | :31:25. | |
and their employers should make Speaking earlier on Breakfast, | :31:26. | :31:27. | |
the report author Matthew Taylor told us he hopes to stop | :31:28. | :31:31. | |
employers taking advantage There's a problem about quality | :31:32. | :31:33. | |
of work especially among lower paid There are too many people who suffer | :31:34. | :31:58. | |
one-sided flexibility, the employers have lots | :31:59. | :32:03. | |
of flexibility but that isn't how it They are insecure and they don't | :32:04. | :32:06. | |
feel like they have a voice at work. Theresa May will make her first big | :32:07. | :32:11. | |
speech later this morning since being re-elected | :32:12. | :32:14. | |
as Prime Minister in June. Her party is coming under pressure | :32:15. | :32:16. | |
with no outright majority, and just yesterday Conservative MP | :32:17. | :32:19. | |
Anne Marie Morris was suspended, after a recording emerged | :32:20. | :32:21. | |
of her using a racially-offensive term, during a public | :32:22. | :32:24. | |
discussion about Brexit. An American military aircraft has | :32:25. | :32:26. | |
crashed in the state of Mississippi, killing at least 16 people, | :32:27. | :32:29. | |
according to US media. It crashed about 100 | :32:30. | :32:31. | |
miles north of Jackson, The type of aircraft is one | :32:32. | :32:33. | |
of the most extensively used in the military, but they can also | :32:34. | :32:37. | |
be modified to transport cargo A man has been charged over an acid | :32:38. | :32:41. | |
attack on a woman and her cousin John Tomlin, who's 24, | :32:42. | :32:45. | |
is alleged to have thrown acid at Resham Khan and Jameel Muhktar | :32:46. | :32:49. | |
through their car window. Both suffered severe burns | :32:50. | :32:52. | |
to the face and body. A BBC investigation has found nearly | :32:53. | :33:10. | |
500 children aged 12 and under have been questioned by police | :33:11. | :33:13. | |
for sexting since 2013. The practice is when someone uses | :33:14. | :33:16. | |
a mobile phone to send indecent Figures obtained by BBC Newcastle | :33:17. | :33:19. | |
show there's been a steady increase in the number of people | :33:20. | :33:23. | |
being investigated, with a boy aged President Trump's eldest son | :33:24. | :33:26. | |
is facing further allegations about a meeting he held | :33:27. | :33:35. | |
with a Russian lawyer during last The New York Times says | :33:36. | :33:38. | |
Donald Trump Jr was informed in advance by e-mail | :33:39. | :33:42. | |
that the information offered by the woman was part | :33:43. | :33:44. | |
of a Russian government effort The Senate Intelligence Committee | :33:45. | :33:47. | |
wants to speak to him about the meeting, | :33:48. | :33:50. | |
which in a tweet he's described We all know that puppies can be | :33:51. | :33:53. | |
naughty and chew or eat things they shouldn't, but this puppy | :33:54. | :34:04. | |
definitely bit off more He managed to swallow three | :34:05. | :34:07. | |
dog leads while playing Unsurprisingly they didn't go down | :34:08. | :34:11. | |
very well and he was taken Although he had to have emergency | :34:12. | :34:16. | |
surgery, he's made a full recovery. Coming up on the programme: Carol's | :34:17. | :34:30. | |
at Wimbledon with the weather. She is wearing a coat so there are | :34:31. | :34:38. | |
warnings about rain on the way. There will be a roof on centre court | :34:39. | :34:43. | |
and also there will eventually be won on Court 1. Johanna Konta will | :34:44. | :34:48. | |
play today, mother plays tomorrow, an amazing match for Rafa Nadal. | :34:49. | :34:51. | |
Sally has that and the rest of the sport for us -- Andy Murray. | :34:52. | :34:58. | |
Carol has been telling me because she knows a lot about this stuff, | :34:59. | :35:04. | |
this is a tent cover, they have different types, I suggested this is | :35:05. | :35:08. | |
because players camp out overnight under it, apparently not. The covers | :35:09. | :35:13. | |
are coming off quite soon, people arriving all around, all around the | :35:14. | :35:17. | |
whole place the covers are coming off. They will leave this on a bit | :35:18. | :35:21. | |
longer, though. What a match last night for a fun at all, I was | :35:22. | :35:28. | |
shouting at the TV. Incredible to see him go out. A little bit sad to | :35:29. | :35:34. | |
see him go out but fantastic performance from Gilles Simon last | :35:35. | :35:38. | |
night, finishing quite late, a knock on effect to date. -- Giles Miller. | :35:39. | :35:44. | |
And the last woman to win Wimbledon was Virginia Wade | :35:45. | :35:51. | |
in the year of the Queen's silver jubilee back in 1977. | :35:52. | :35:54. | |
She takes on Simona Halep this afternoon, after a really tough | :35:55. | :35:59. | |
It's those positions, those situations that I dream of, | :36:00. | :36:03. | |
or dreamed of, when I was a little girl and even now to be part | :36:04. | :36:07. | |
of those battles on big stages, so I think that's really what it's | :36:08. | :36:10. | |
Andy Murray reached the quarter-finals for the 10th year | :36:11. | :36:15. | |
straight-forward win over Benoit Paire. | :36:16. | :36:19. | |
After all the injury worries before the tournament started, | :36:20. | :36:23. | |
so I was also a little bit concerned. | :36:24. | :36:34. | |
When you're having issues just a few days before a big event, | :36:35. | :36:37. | |
it's frustrating but I managed it well and I think I played | :36:38. | :36:42. | |
Today, like I said, was the best I've played so far in the tournament | :36:43. | :36:47. | |
and, yeah, I'm doing well, so hopefully I keep it up. | :36:48. | :36:52. | |
Roger Federer is through but Rafael Nadal is out. | :36:53. | :36:54. | |
Gilles Muller beat the two-time champion in an epic five-setter. | :36:55. | :36:57. | |
It was 15-13 in the decider and the pair were on court | :36:58. | :37:00. | |
for nearly five hours, meaning Novak Djokovic's match had | :37:01. | :37:03. | |
There was some criticism of the scheduling of matches | :37:04. | :37:13. | |
yesterday, world number one Angelique Kerber said | :37:14. | :37:15. | |
she was really surprised to find herself on Court Two | :37:16. | :37:18. | |
singles matches were on the show courts. | :37:19. | :37:25. | |
Away from Wimbledon, Romelu Lukaku has completed his ?75 | :37:26. | :37:28. | |
million move from Everton to Manchester United. | :37:29. | :37:30. | |
He trained with his new team-mates for the first time yesterday | :37:31. | :37:33. | |
on United's pre-season tour of the USA. | :37:34. | :37:42. | |
We told you yesterday about Wayne Rooney wearing his | :37:43. | :37:44. | |
Everton pyjamas in secret for the last 13 years, | :37:45. | :37:47. | |
now he's got his hands on the offical kit after returning | :37:48. | :37:50. | |
He says he wants to win trophies at his boyhood club | :37:51. | :37:54. | |
and force his way back into the national team, | :37:55. | :37:56. | |
so pyjamas might not be appropriate. | :37:57. | :38:04. | |
I'm not coming into a retirement home. | :38:05. | :38:06. | |
I wanna win, I wanna be successful at this football club and that's | :38:07. | :38:10. | |
Well, not fit at the minute, but that'll build up in the next few | :38:11. | :38:16. | |
After a rest day, the Tour de France resumes today with a stage | :38:17. | :38:24. | |
Chris Froome holds the overall lead but he'll have to make do | :38:25. | :38:28. | |
without team-mate Geraint Thomas who crashed out on Sunday | :38:29. | :38:31. | |
Careful when you're warming up to play in Court 1. | :38:32. | :38:49. | |
As Rafa Nadal found out to his cost because the door frames | :38:50. | :38:52. | |
He and Gilles Muller saw the funny side, and the Spaniard seemed | :38:53. | :38:56. | |
to have no after effects during his epic last 16 match. | :38:57. | :38:59. | |
It could have been a sign it wasn't going to be his day yesterday. I'm | :39:00. | :39:09. | |
sure he's woken up with sore legs, a sore knee, a saw everything and a | :39:10. | :39:14. | |
sore head this morning! We're on Centre Court this morning | :39:15. | :39:18. | |
and as you can hear, they're starting to work on removing the | :39:19. | :39:22. | |
covers, gets a bit noisy but we love it at this time of day and I'm | :39:23. | :39:26. | |
joined by Chris Clary from the New York Times, tennis writer. Good | :39:27. | :39:31. | |
morning. I love this, they know we are here, they know we are live on | :39:32. | :39:36. | |
TV and they have a competition to be as noisy as possible. That's what it | :39:37. | :39:41. | |
sounds like. You were here late last night, Rafa Nadal, sad to see him go | :39:42. | :39:44. | |
but incredible performance from both players? It was a lifetime match for | :39:45. | :39:50. | |
Gilles Muller, I saw him play a lot, his mid- 30s, he will tell his | :39:51. | :39:55. | |
grandchildren about that, incredible performance. Zen master in the way | :39:56. | :40:00. | |
he handled the pressure and kept sending of the breakpoints, he could | :40:01. | :40:04. | |
sense the hunger of Nadal but it wasn't enough, could have been the | :40:05. | :40:09. | |
blow on the head! You're coming from an American perspective, but we get | :40:10. | :40:13. | |
very excited about the British players at Wimbledon and maybe this | :40:14. | :40:17. | |
year for the first time in a long time we have even more reason, a | :40:18. | :40:20. | |
British man and woman through to this stage for the first time in 44 | :40:21. | :40:25. | |
years, incredibly exciting! It's the same at all the slams, look at the | :40:26. | :40:31. | |
scheduling for the main courts in Australia, the French Open, America, | :40:32. | :40:35. | |
and as it should be. It's nice for Andy for it not to be just about | :40:36. | :40:40. | |
him, adding Johanna Konta. We had Andy Murray, we are blase about a | :40:41. | :40:46. | |
successful British man, but in terms of Jo Konta, in previous years she | :40:47. | :40:50. | |
has struggled with the pressure, not always looked particularly happy at | :40:51. | :40:53. | |
Wimbledon but something has changed this year. Have you noticed that? | :40:54. | :40:58. | |
It's been changing for a while with Jo, I can't see any weaknesses in | :40:59. | :41:03. | |
her game, it's a big game, you don't know until she has done it, and he | :41:04. | :41:08. | |
has done it in many venues including here but with Konta it's a mystery. | :41:09. | :41:16. | |
I've covered tennis for a long time and you see people who look great | :41:17. | :41:20. | |
and then something happens when the moment is in front of them. What | :41:21. | :41:23. | |
about against Halep, will she do OK? Jo won't change her game, she takes | :41:24. | :41:27. | |
the ball aggressively off both sides, it's about what Simone will | :41:28. | :41:33. | |
do to defend against that. What does and the have to look out for against | :41:34. | :41:38. | |
Sam Querrey, you know him well? A lot of big serves, he's a big | :41:39. | :41:41. | |
favourite even though he isn't in great form right now. Sam loves | :41:42. | :41:47. | |
Wimbledon but he has a back and you can exploit. You heard it here | :41:48. | :41:51. | |
first, I wonder if they're watching! --. If you want to know more about | :41:52. | :41:57. | |
Wimbledon you can listen to the coverage live on Radio 5 Live | :41:58. | :42:02. | |
through the day -- backhand. Much more from here in the next hour. | :42:03. | :42:06. | |
Carol will have the weather in about ten minutes. But at that, the tent | :42:07. | :42:10. | |
is removed from behind you! Thanks very much, Sal! | :42:11. | :42:12. | |
It's a language that's been in use for hundreds of years, | :42:13. | :42:15. | |
but the number of people speaking Welsh has fallen over time. | :42:16. | :42:18. | |
The latest statistics from the census in 2011 show just | :42:19. | :42:21. | |
under a fifth of people can speak the language. | :42:22. | :42:23. | |
But now the government in Wales has put forward its plans on how it | :42:24. | :42:27. | |
will double the number of people who use the language by 2050. | :42:28. | :42:32. | |
Joining us now is the Chair of the Welsh Language Society. | :42:33. | :42:38. | |
Bore da! From your point of view, why is it important more people | :42:39. | :42:49. | |
speak Welsh? The Welsh language isn't only a minority language, it's | :42:50. | :42:53. | |
a language that has been minor retires in its own country, | :42:54. | :42:57. | |
purposeful steps were taken by the English establishment since Wales | :42:58. | :43:02. | |
came under English rule in 1566 to raise the language. This is like | :43:03. | :43:08. | |
people weren't allowed their administrative jobs, names were | :43:09. | :43:15. | |
taken from David to Davis. There are lots of other examples. These | :43:16. | :43:20. | |
purposeful steps to raise the Welsh language. The Welsh language, which | :43:21. | :43:24. | |
we have to justify again this morning, we should not have to | :43:25. | :43:29. | |
justify it, but it is our identity, it is our culture, we have | :43:30. | :43:33. | |
literature, it's the way we look at the world, it's our window into the | :43:34. | :43:37. | |
world and it's very important. To overturn all of this that I've just | :43:38. | :43:44. | |
said needs radical steps, huge steps to overturn this, because it is a | :43:45. | :43:50. | |
symptom of a, colonised nation is we don't pass the language our children | :43:51. | :43:56. | |
-- a colonised nation. The language of the oppressor is bought more | :43:57. | :43:59. | |
important than our language. We need this confidence to make sure we know | :44:00. | :44:05. | |
we have a right to exist -- is thought. | :44:06. | :44:08. | |
What happens at the moment in primary schools and secondary | :44:09. | :44:11. | |
schools, what would you like to see changed? | :44:12. | :44:14. | |
One of the things the government needs to address in the announcement | :44:15. | :44:18. | |
this morning is education. It's a big thing. Baby viewers don't know | :44:19. | :44:26. | |
that education is devolved to Wales -- may be viewers. The situation in | :44:27. | :44:32. | |
Wales at the moment is different in different areas. For example in | :44:33. | :44:40. | |
areas that are more populous, in the East, there aren't enough Welsh | :44:41. | :44:43. | |
schools. There's a demand but people are being turned away, which means | :44:44. | :44:47. | |
the children leaving school at or 18 maybe Mono got or bilingual children | :44:48. | :44:53. | |
with their own language so the schools need to be on a continuing. | :44:54. | :45:00. | |
We have Welsh schools with four categories depending on the amount | :45:01. | :45:05. | |
of Welsh. They need to move to aim to become Welsh schools. Another | :45:06. | :45:09. | |
problem is more in the West where some children leave school at 11 | :45:10. | :45:16. | |
able to speak Welsh but at 16 not able because they have lost the | :45:17. | :45:19. | |
skill because they went to an English school. This shouldn't | :45:20. | :45:23. | |
happen. Children should be going on one part and not losing the scale. | :45:24. | :45:28. | |
You are passionate about this and you have three children yourself, | :45:29. | :45:35. | |
they speak Welsh and English? They speak Welsh at home and in the | :45:36. | :45:42. | |
community. But then once they are seven years old they are being | :45:43. | :45:46. | |
taught English in schools. Of course, the English language will | :45:47. | :45:54. | |
never be under this threat. We are a language that has been turned into a | :45:55. | :45:58. | |
minority. Certain steps must be taken to help the language. That is | :45:59. | :46:03. | |
one thing. We are also glad to see that the government is addressing | :46:04. | :46:06. | |
this by getting rid of Welsh as a second language, as a subject, | :46:07. | :46:12. | |
because at moment if you do Welsh as a first language or second language | :46:13. | :46:15. | |
which is more like French, but not even that. Most children who studies | :46:16. | :46:22. | |
second language come out unable to speak Welsh. So we're glad that they | :46:23. | :46:31. | |
are addressing that. Also, of course, we need to normalise the | :46:32. | :46:34. | |
language in all aspects of life. We need to change attitudes. To do | :46:35. | :46:39. | |
that, we need to change their behaviour. And to do that we need to | :46:40. | :46:45. | |
legislate. Some legislation is in at the moment which covers the | :46:46. | :46:50. | |
standards. For example, our councils, under these standards. | :46:51. | :46:54. | |
They need to provide a certain number of services in Welsh. We have | :46:55. | :46:58. | |
the right to access those through Welsh. These need to be extended, | :46:59. | :47:05. | |
they need to be done quickly, they need to be extended. You mentioned | :47:06. | :47:09. | |
the economy, there is a direct link between our economy and our | :47:10. | :47:17. | |
language. In Welsh, there is a huge number of people leaving Wales every | :47:18. | :47:23. | |
year and this has an effect on our community. It leaves a vacuum for | :47:24. | :47:32. | |
English immigrants to move in. So many immigrants are moving in | :47:33. | :47:36. | |
because of all of those moving out. We look forward to seeing more | :47:37. | :47:40. | |
detail on that as well. I love your passion. I don't know how to say | :47:41. | :47:42. | |
thank you. Diolch. Carolynn has been a -- Carol has | :47:43. | :48:03. | |
been at Wimbledon and she would tell us how it will be. It will be wed in | :48:04. | :48:11. | |
Wales and at Wimbledon. Good morning to you both. If you look behind me, | :48:12. | :48:16. | |
the cover is now off on Centre Court. They have been inspecting the | :48:17. | :48:23. | |
court, and they seem quite happy with what they have seen so far. We | :48:24. | :48:28. | |
have been lucky this year in terms of interruptions to play because of | :48:29. | :48:33. | |
the rain. In fact there have been very few Wimbledon Championships | :48:34. | :48:36. | |
without rain since 1922. Only seven. The last one in 2010. The highest | :48:37. | :48:42. | |
temperature we have ever recorded during the fortnight of Wimbledon | :48:43. | :48:50. | |
was 35.7 degrees, in 2015. Of course, play is guaranteed on Centre | :48:51. | :48:54. | |
Court which is a good thing because there is rain on the forecast for | :48:55. | :48:57. | |
Wimbledon. What we have a syllable more cloud around. We will also see | :48:58. | :49:04. | |
some rain in the early afternoon, then a dry interlude and somewhat | :49:05. | :49:08. | |
heavy and persistent rain will arrive late into the afternoon and | :49:09. | :49:11. | |
in the evening. Temperature wires, clearer than it has been. A maximum | :49:12. | :49:20. | |
of 20. That same rain affecting Wales and eastern England's drifts | :49:21. | :49:22. | |
eastwards as a mixture of sunshine and showers. Starting at nine | :49:23. | :49:26. | |
o'clock across southern England there is a lot of dry weather, a | :49:27. | :49:30. | |
fair bit of cloud and also the odd shower. Bennett extends to East | :49:31. | :49:33. | |
Anglia and the Midlands. Northern England has a more coherent band of | :49:34. | :49:39. | |
rain. Not heavy but persistent. Clouds are foremost in Scotland with | :49:40. | :49:43. | |
showers around. In Northern Ireland in the Norcia have sunshine and in | :49:44. | :49:47. | |
the south more out. The rain not too far away. For Wales, a bitter cloud | :49:48. | :49:50. | |
this morning with showery outbreaks of rain. A little heavier across | :49:51. | :49:55. | |
south Wales. For south-west England, a similar story in that it is a | :49:56. | :49:59. | |
cloudy star with rain and as we drift further east it is dry but | :50:00. | :50:03. | |
there are some showers and a bit of cloud. The rain that we have in the | :50:04. | :50:07. | |
west at the moment will be pushing eastwards through the course of the | :50:08. | :50:12. | |
day. Behind it we have a dry and cloudy interlude and then we have | :50:13. | :50:15. | |
already got heavy rain across south-west England and Wales which | :50:16. | :50:18. | |
will be following in hot pursuit eastwards and that will be the heavy | :50:19. | :50:23. | |
and persistent rain. For Scotland and Northern Ireland in any sunshine | :50:24. | :50:26. | |
will fill pleasant with rising into the high teens. As we come further | :50:27. | :50:30. | |
south will be cooler than it has been and feeling so if you are stuck | :50:31. | :50:34. | |
under the band of rain. The rain will be heavy, particularly south | :50:35. | :50:38. | |
Wales and some of us seeing a good 40 millimetres at of rainfall. | :50:39. | :50:43. | |
Through the evening an overnight it stays heavy as rain drifts across | :50:44. | :50:46. | |
the south towards the North Sea. Behind it, clear skies and in parts | :50:47. | :50:52. | |
of Scotland in particular it will be cool enough for a touch of frost in | :50:53. | :50:55. | |
sheltered Glenn's. We start tomorrow with the remnants of the rain in the | :50:56. | :50:59. | |
south-eastern corner. That will clear quickly. High pressure builds | :51:00. | :51:04. | |
in and for most of the UK it will be a dry day with sunny intervals. | :51:05. | :51:08. | |
Temperature as a result will pick up, looking at highs up to 22 or 23 | :51:09. | :51:14. | |
degrees. As we head on into Thursday, still a lot of dry worth | :51:15. | :51:18. | |
around, a lot of sunshine as well. There will be some showers | :51:19. | :51:21. | |
especially in the north and the west and then later with the new weather | :51:22. | :51:26. | |
front showing its hand, introducing rain across the north-west of | :51:27. | :51:28. | |
Scotland and temperatures roughly where they should be at this stage | :51:29. | :51:30. | |
in July. Thank you very much, Carol. See when | :51:31. | :51:39. | |
30 minutes to it does look promising there are Wimbledon. This morning we | :51:40. | :51:44. | |
are also talking about this... I am ready for it, a big review into how | :51:45. | :51:53. | |
workers in the so-called gig economy are treated more rights and better | :51:54. | :51:58. | |
conditions. Collator is with us today speaking with the author of a | :51:59. | :52:00. | |
report. We are looking at how businesses are | :52:01. | :52:05. | |
responding. Good morning, everyone. The government has asked Matthew | :52:06. | :52:09. | |
Taylor, the head of the Royal Society of arts and a former adviser | :52:10. | :52:13. | |
to Tony Blair to look at modern working practices. Nine months ago. | :52:14. | :52:16. | |
He will make this recommendations later this morning. It is all to do | :52:17. | :52:22. | |
with the rise in people working as things like couriers and drivers or | :52:23. | :52:26. | |
offering services on an ad hoc basis. Often for big companies. | :52:27. | :52:31. | |
Jennifer O'Donnell runs a cleaning firm did she contributed to the | :52:32. | :52:35. | |
report and I'm pleased to say she is with us this morning. All of the | :52:36. | :52:40. | |
cleaners who work for you are technically employees so you pay | :52:41. | :52:43. | |
them a little more. Is a more difficult to compete with other | :52:44. | :52:46. | |
countries are companies that don't. I began this business four years ago | :52:47. | :52:50. | |
and when I began I felt quite strongly that all of my should be | :52:51. | :52:54. | |
employed. I think if you go to work every day you need to make sure that | :52:55. | :52:58. | |
you are protected and you have employment rights, the right to | :52:59. | :53:01. | |
thick pay and holiday pay but also that you have the race to make right | :53:02. | :53:05. | |
to grievance and hills and safety training. It was important to me | :53:06. | :53:09. | |
that all of those factors were part of their working life. | :53:10. | :53:14. | |
Unfortunately, what it means, particularly in the domestic side of | :53:15. | :53:18. | |
the business, there is a huge black market economy where there are many | :53:19. | :53:23. | |
cash transactions, workers going into people's homes on | :53:24. | :53:28. | |
recommendation. We are also up against the new gig economy, digital | :53:29. | :53:33. | |
platforms that link customers to consumer. And also agencies which I | :53:34. | :53:39. | |
call greymarket because they often subcontract an unregulated | :53:40. | :53:45. | |
workforce. Both can keep their costs down because they do not have these | :53:46. | :53:51. | |
additional employment costs. Even those difficulties, you contributed | :53:52. | :53:55. | |
to this report. Are you happy with it? Did it go far enough? It is good | :53:56. | :54:03. | |
to see that it is a positive step, that cash transactions will be | :54:04. | :54:06. | |
looked at. My concern is that culturally and certain set as it is | :54:07. | :54:11. | |
so acceptable to do a cash transaction and we think it is OK to | :54:12. | :54:15. | |
do. How that will be enforced will be interesting. I am also very | :54:16. | :54:19. | |
interested in the point about dependent contractors and creating a | :54:20. | :54:23. | |
new category. That is interesting for me because it seems as though | :54:24. | :54:29. | |
there is a category there that are going to be able to operate and | :54:30. | :54:34. | |
still keep some cost out of their business, but because they offer | :54:35. | :54:37. | |
flexibility to their workers they are going to be able to still kind | :54:38. | :54:44. | |
of work in a self complete we. Lots and lots of issues to work through. | :54:45. | :54:48. | |
Thank you very much for joining us this morning to talk about that | :54:49. | :54:52. | |
thorny issue of zero hours contract is and how we work in the future. | :54:53. | :54:56. | |
Very interesting to discuss a change of culture as well. It is 100 years | :54:57. | :55:02. | |
since the first mass-produced tractor came to the UK. Looker that | :55:03. | :55:08. | |
blue ones are behind us. They were sent to help during the First World | :55:09. | :55:12. | |
War when men and farmers were on the frontline. Teens at the great | :55:13. | :55:16. | |
Yorkshire show, driving about whether Centenary will be marked. | :55:17. | :55:22. | |
Good morning. The show first happened in 1838, designed to | :55:23. | :55:27. | |
celebrate agricultural excellence. This year they are celebrating 100 | :55:28. | :55:33. | |
years of the mass-produced tractor. Sweep along this way and you will | :55:34. | :55:37. | |
see some of the finest vintage tractors you will ever see. It all | :55:38. | :55:44. | |
started in 1917 when there had been petrol driven tractors before but | :55:45. | :55:47. | |
they were large and cumbersome things. Henry Ford changed things, | :55:48. | :55:55. | |
didn't he? He was fed up with the drudgery that was commonplace on | :55:56. | :55:58. | |
farms and he wanted to make life easier for the farm. City set to a | :55:59. | :56:03. | |
daughter tractor. What impact did it have on agriculture? Well, he | :56:04. | :56:10. | |
mechanise the whole thing. From early beginnings right now when we | :56:11. | :56:13. | |
cannot do anything without a tractor. Look at this one here. This | :56:14. | :56:17. | |
is a 100-year-old tractor. Before this and they were far bigger, they | :56:18. | :56:23. | |
were far more cumbersome. This is merely the first lightweight tractor | :56:24. | :56:29. | |
that many of the older tractors that we have, they were like steam | :56:30. | :56:34. | |
engines, big heavy things unsuitable to the small fields of England. It | :56:35. | :56:44. | |
is fascinating stuff. Let's swing the camera around and have a look at | :56:45. | :56:49. | |
the century of tractors and they are quite something. As we walk along | :56:50. | :56:54. | |
here, the images you get... This one here is something extraordinary. It | :56:55. | :57:00. | |
makes you think of the prairies of America and that sort of thing. We | :57:01. | :57:02. | |
will talk more Now, though, it's back | :57:03. | :00:22. | |
to Louise and Dan. Hello, this is Breakfast, | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. Plans to change the way we work - | :00:25. | :00:38. | |
a review for the Government calls for the end of | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
the cash-in-hand economy. With suggestions for tackling | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
low-paid jobs, zero-hours contracts and the gig economy, | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
it says the Government should strive Good morning, it's | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
Tuesday, 11th July. Thank you for being with us on | :00:49. | :01:05. | |
Breakfast. For the first time since 1984, | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
there's a British woman She plays Simona Halep | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
on centre later. She's joined in the quarterfinals | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
by Andy Murray - the first time in 44 years a British man and woman | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
have made it this far. Rafa Nadal was knocked out | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
of Wimbledon after five sets Dealing with dementia - | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
how new technology could help people Profits at Marks Spencer went up | :01:32. | :01:51. | |
in the last three months, does that show a change in fortunes for the | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
high street giant? I will be finally look. -- I will be finding out. | :01:56. | :02:03. | |
We'll find out about 100 years of mass produced tractors, | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
from farmers on the frontline to modern day machinery. | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
And we will be joined by two actors after nine. | :02:09. | :02:16. | |
We are expecting rain so there is likely to be interruption to play. | :02:17. | :02:26. | |
Heavy radius movies over the southern half of England and Wales | :02:27. | :02:41. | |
during the day -- heavy rain is moving. More details later. | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
First, our main story.An end to cash-in-hand jobs, | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
and changing the rules on the gig economy, where workers | :02:50. | :02:51. | |
get paid per task - just two of the recommendations | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
in a major report into the way we work. | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
The Matthew Taylor review also says there are too many people | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
who are being treated like cogs in a machine, rather | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
Our economics correspondent, Andy Verity, reports. | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
In the last ten years, the economy's generated record | :03:05. | :03:06. | |
numbers of jobs and the lowest unemployment rate in nearly | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
But according to the man who led a government-commissioned review, | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
more jobs hasn't always meant more good jobs. | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
In my view, there's too much work, particularly at the bottom end | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
of the labour market, that isn't of a high enough quality | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
and there's too many people not having their rights fully respected | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
and there are too many people treated at work like cogs | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
in a machine rather than being human beings and there are too many people | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
who don't see a route from their current job to progress | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
The review will recommend that if someone is controlled | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
and supervised, then they're classified as a worker, | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
or dependent contractor, rather than self-employed. | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
Those workers may be entitled to benefits like holiday pay | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
and employers may have to pay national insurance at 13.8%. | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
That's broadly in line with a landmark court ruling | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
in a case brought by this former Uber driver, Yaseen Aslam. | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
I don't think it helps me as a worker for what I've been | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
fighting for in tribunal, and that's what's concerning | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
because the workers have not been involved in the process | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
The review also makes a bigger point that self-employed work, | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
from plumbers to painters, yields far less tax for the Treasury, | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
especially if the work is cash in hand. | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
For consumers, though, the recommendations are likely | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
to mean inexpensive services will no longer be as cheap. | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
Theresa May will make her first big speech later this morning, | :04:27. | :04:36. | |
since being re-elected as Prime Minister in June. | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
Her party is coming under pressure with no outright majority, | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
and yesterday, Conservative MP Anne Marie Morris was suspended, | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
after a recording emerged of her using a racially offensive term. | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
Our political correspondent, Chris Mason, joins us | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
Chris, an important morning for the Prime Minister. | :04:52. | :05:00. | |
A chance to set the agenda again. It absolutely is. There are two rhyming | :05:01. | :05:10. | |
words that matter in politics, majority and authority. The row | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
yesterday over the Conservative MP chips away technically at the wafer | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
thin majority the Prime Minister has, although in all likelihood, | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
even though Anne Marie Morris is no longer a Conservative MP, she is | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
still an MP, she is likely to vote, I suspect, with what was her party | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
when votes come up in the House of Commons. In terms of authority, the | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
Prime Minister tried to react very quickly to what happened when the | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
recording emerged, doing what is known in Westminster is removing the | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
whip, meaning Anne Marie Morris sits as an independent MP effectively | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
now. It is yet another incident that the May has had to deal with when | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
there are all of these swirling questions about her credibility as | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
Prime Minister and how long she can cling on for. This speech really | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
does matter for her. She wanted it to focus on the issue of employment | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
rights you were talking about a moment ago. But there are far bigger | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
question is at stake for her, not least how long she will be Prime | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
Minister for. Coverage of that speech throughout the day on the BBC | :06:22. | :06:22. | |
News Channel. Britain will have men's and women's | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
quarterfinalists at Wimbledon for the first time since 1973 | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
after wins for Johanna Sixth seed Konta beat | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
France's Caroline Garcia She's the first British woman | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
to reach the last eight since 1984. It's those positions, | :06:35. | :06:46. | |
those situations that I dream of, or dreamed of, when I was a little | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
girl and even now to be part of those battles on big stages, | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
so I think that's really what it's You can follow that across the BBC | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
today as well. A man has been charged over an acid | :06:57. | :07:12. | |
attack on a woman and her cousin John Tomlin, who's 24, | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
is alleged to have thrown acid at Resham Khan and Jameel Muhktar | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
through their car window. Both suffered severe burns | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
to the face and body. An American military aircraft has | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
crashed in the state of Mississippi, killing at least 16 people, | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
according to US media. It crashed about 100 miles north | :07:28. | :07:29. | |
of Jackson, the state capital. The type of aircraft is one | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
of the most extensively used in the military, | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
but they can also be modified A BBC investigation has found nearly | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
500 children aged 12 and under have been questioned by police | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
for sexting since 2013. The practice is when someone uses | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
a mobile phone to send indecent The guidance around the law changed | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
last year in England and Wales to say if it's a young person | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
creating the images, the police can choose | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
to record that as a crime, but that taking formal action isn't | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
in the public interest. President Trump's eldest son | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
is facing further allegations about a meeting he held | :08:16. | :08:16. | |
with a Russian lawyer The New York Times says that | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
Donald Trump Junior was told before the meeting that the lawyer | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
who was offering damaging information about Hillary Clinton | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
was acting Donald Trump Junior has insisted | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
that the lawyer provided no meaningful information | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
on his father's rival Plans to almost double | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
the number of Welsh speakers The Welsh Government wants | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
1 million people to be We had a very passionate guest on | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
the sofa a few minutes ago. There will be more teaching | :08:46. | :08:57. | |
at an earlier age and more Welsh-speaking teachers in primary | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
and secondary schools as our Wales At Ysgol Glan Morfa, children's | :09:01. | :09:02. | |
lessons are taught through Welsh. Members of the Welsh Government came | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
here to spread the word about their new goal | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
for the language, supported We've laid down the gauntlet, | :09:10. | :09:11. | |
if you like, it's a big task, If we really want to do it | :09:12. | :09:19. | |
and we believe we can do it, then Expanding Welsh medium education | :09:20. | :09:30. | |
is at the heart of the strategy. It includes creating 150 Welsh | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
language nursery groups over the next decade and increasing | :09:34. | :09:35. | |
the number of Welsh speaking primary But it's recognised that there must | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
be opportunities to learn and use There's also a recognition | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
that they need support from parents. Some parents will say, you know, | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
if my kids go to a Welsh medium school, can I help them | :09:49. | :09:59. | |
with their homework? Will all the correspondence be | :10:00. | :10:01. | |
in Welsh from the school? So of course we want | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
to take parents with us. The Welsh language is | :10:05. | :10:11. | |
celebrated every year at the National Eisteddfod, | :10:12. | :10:12. | |
a cultural festival which welcomes The Welsh Government wants more | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
people to be able to communicate in Welsh, but the public's appetite | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
for change remains to be seen. I have managed to... | :10:19. | :10:29. | |
What have you done? I cannot hear the director. | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
I have pulled out my earpiece. You are in charge! | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
This is fun, I am in charge! I can do what I like. I am going to | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
Wimbledon because they are telling me too! I am not in control. All | :10:45. | :10:52. | |
eyes on Jo Konta this afternoon. She will be in the quarterfinal with | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
Simona Halep. Andy Murray place tomorrow. Sally is | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
at Wimbledon, she can tell us all about it. | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
She can't hear you, Sally. Can anyone hear me? Good morning. We | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
are on centre court, they are getting ready for the matches to | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
start later. They are out with the mower. We are talking a lot this | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
morning about Jo Konta because she has made history, the match she | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
played, she played with heart and passion and it was so brilliant to | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
see her play so confidently. Over the last couple of years, if you | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
have been watching her play, there is a shift, she has always had a | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
great game, the talent and the skill, but something mentally may | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
have shifted this time. Let us hear from Clare Balding who looks back at | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
what Jo Konta has been up to during this Wimbledon. On court, she rarely | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
lets the mask slip. We hardly get to peer beyond the professional veneer. | :11:56. | :12:02. | |
What a battle! What resilience! But there is another side to her. To | :12:03. | :12:09. | |
take a break, she bakes cakes. She has been handing out muffins to the | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
coaching team, the best on tour, she claims. Maybe it is useful | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
preparation because Wimbledon is all about rising at the right time. The | :12:20. | :12:28. | |
last woman to reach this stage was the lovely Jo Durie in 1984. Good | :12:29. | :12:37. | |
morning. Thank you for coming in. You are quite happy that Jo Konta | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
has equalled your record. Of course I am because we have got a | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
successful British player who was playing in the second week, | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
quarterfinals of Wimbledon. It brings back the memories for me. | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
People keep talking about it and I keep remembering when I was playing | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
and I just think it is fantastic. You never watched your much back, is | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
that true? How do you know that? I haven't. Why is that? In those days, | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
you did not have the facilities. You played your match. If you are lucky, | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
you sometimes got a VHS video. I have not got one. A few years ago, I | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
saw my match from Roland Garros which I had never seen, the | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
semifinal. You were quite good! I played quite well! She has the game, | :13:23. | :13:30. | |
talent, skills, Jo Konta, but something has changed this year for | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
her? It really hurts. She is comfortable now with the top | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
players, being in the mix, the top ten -- it really has. She is not | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
thinking, just doing. Her preparation for the grass courts was | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
superb because losing first round of Roland Garros, a lot of grass court | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
practice. What do you think she has been doing differently? I do not | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
know if it is differently, I think if you do things time and time again | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
and you do it in a certain way and you put the work in, eventually, it | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
becomes a habit and you do not think, you are just doing it, she | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
has the mindset which is very strong and she goes on court. At the | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
moment, she is not blinking, getting to the crunch moments and going | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
through them. How is she managing to not let nerves get to her? In the | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
past, they did get to her. She has a process no of overcoming it. If she | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
keeps rigidly to that process and does not look forward to much, it is | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
working. When it pops up occasionally come you think, I am | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
merely there. Too much thinking, it all goes wrong. Of all the places | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
for her to do well and played, Wimbledon will be the toughest | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
because it is the home crowd. Exactly. What are the expectations | :14:51. | :14:59. | |
like? Huge but also you are a big quarterfinal, the crowd want you to | :15:00. | :15:02. | |
do well and that is what you feel and it really lifts you up. Has the | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
back of your neck stand up, they really do. Fabulous feeling. What | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
can she learn from the way Andy Murray has handled the pressure the | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
years? I think he is still there, we are not talking about Andy, it is | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
amazing, also in the quarterfinals. To have someone else there who has | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
studied. He said she should let go a little bit. I do not think she is | :15:27. | :15:33. | |
quite like Andy. She needs to keep everything close to her and do her | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
thing. That is something he has successfully done, he has learned to | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
let go. He has. Sometimes he is a bit moany. But he is a great tennis | :15:43. | :15:56. | |
player! Lovely to see you, thanks for joining us. We will go now to | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
someone who has never been moany, Carol. | :16:02. | :16:03. | |
Unless you eat all the muffins! It's cloudy above Centre Court but | :16:04. | :16:17. | |
it's bright. The forecast for Wimbledon, we'll see some rain | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
towards the afternoon. Then we'll have a drier slot of weather. We see | :16:23. | :16:29. | |
heavy and persistent rain return again later into the evening. It | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
will feel much cooler than it has done. Maximum temperature today, 20 | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
Celsius. That rain affecting Wimbledon is also affecting parts of | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
England and Wales. Moving towards the east for Scotland and Northern | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
Ireland and you have a day of sunshine and showers, some of those | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
heavy. East Anglia and the Midlands, a lot of dry weather around and a | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
few showers. Quite a bit of cloud around with brighter breaks. For | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
northern England, a more coherent band of rain. | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
For Northern Ireland, some sunshine for you first thing. In the south, | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
more cloud with rain not too far away. For Wales, a bit of cloud with | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
some rain. Now, some heavier bursts across South Wales. As we transfer | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
into south-west England again, quite a bit of cloud with some outbreaks | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
of rain, not particularly heavy at this stage. Drifting further east, a | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
lot of dry weather and a few showers. Through the course of the | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
day, the rain we currently have will quite quickly move to the east at | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
the same time there's another band of heavier rain in the south-west of | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
England and Wales. That is moving east too. North of that for the far | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
north of northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, sunshine and | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
showers. Here in the sunshine it will feel pleasant enough. It will | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
feel cooler if you are stuck under the band of rain. The rain will | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
still be with us this evening, continuing it journey, eventually | :18:00. | :18:01. | |
clearing from Wales in the south-west. For the north, some | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
breaks in that cloud and in some sheltered glens in Scotland, the | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
breaks will be cool enough for a touch of frost. More comfortable | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
night in the south for sleeping than those we have had recently. Tomorrow | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
we start off with the rain in the far south-east and East Anglia. It | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
clears quickly. High pressure builds in and most of us will have a dry | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
sunny day. Temperatures tomorrow up on today because the sun will be | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
out, with highs up to 22, maybe 23. Then for Thursday, once again a lot | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
of dry and sunny weather. Some showers in the north and west. Many | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
of us will miss them. Later in the day, we see a new weather front | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
returning to north-west Scotland. That will introduce some more rain. | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
Temperature-wise, roughly where we should be in July again with highs | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
of up to the low 20s in terms of Celsius. Before I go, if you have an | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
allergy to pollen, today with all the weather going around, you will | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
be pleased to hear the levels are moderate or low. I want a bit more | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
information about what is happening tonight. Is Sal staying around yours | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
again, what is on the menu, are you cooking something for the pair of | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
you? I think Sal said enough of my cooking, we had very basic cooking | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
last night, chicken, broccoli and new potatoes. You didn't answer the | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
other question though. Did she? ! You can't skirt around the question. | :19:27. | :19:33. | |
I don't want the political answer. Oh yes I can, Dan, oh, yes, I can. | :19:34. | :19:46. | |
A major review into the way we work recommends rules for the Gig | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
economy. Konta makes history at Wimbledon today as she becomes the | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
first player for over 30 years to represent Great Britain in the | :19:58. | :19:59. | |
ladies quarter-finals. Marks Spencers has been struggling | :20:00. | :20:15. | |
in the last few years. Here are the business stories. | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
Good news for Marks Spencers at last. Just over an hour ago they | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
revealed that takings were up 2.7% in the last three months. Most of | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
that is down to strong food sales. The big fall that we had been | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
previously seeing in the clothing department has improved a little. | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
The boss says they've not needed a sale this season and they've sold | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
more at full price. That positive news seems to be reflected more | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
widely with figures from the British Retail Consortium showing that | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
retail sales were up 2% last month, one of the warmest Junes on record. | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
The weather's believed to have led more people to spend on summer | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
clothes, health and beauty products. There's a call from business leaders | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
this morning for companies to do more to make workers more | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
productive. They say it could add up to ?130 billion to the economy. The | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
group which was led by the John Lewis chairman Sir Charlie Mayfield | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
was set up by the Government two years ago to look at how to boost | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
the UK's productivity which lags behind many other countries at the | :21:21. | :21:22. | |
moment. Thank you very much. They might be places that you assume | :21:23. | :21:34. | |
are generations apart but for the first time in the UK, | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
a nursery and a care home are closing the age gap by spending | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
time together every day as part It's an idea which has already been | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
adopted by other countries, such as the United States and Japan, | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
but from September, Breakfast's Graham Satchell | :21:48. | :21:49. | |
went to find out more. A large care home in south London | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
and the sound of a nursery rhyme. Young and old singing, playing, | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
interacting together. When it officially opens | :21:58. | :21:59. | |
in September, this will be the first nursery in the country to be sited | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
on the grounds of a care home. Children spend more of their time | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
away from other age groups and the elderly spend time | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
away from everybody. There is something quite natural | :22:12. | :22:17. | |
about bringing them together. A Sportsday to celebrate the opening | :22:18. | :22:29. | |
and 87-year-old Fay is showing Children from a nearby nursery have | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
been coming here on a weekly trip Some of them sing and dance | :22:35. | :22:41. | |
and we play games. So most of the residents, | :22:42. | :22:48. | |
they have a great time. Bringing young and old together | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
like this already happens Experts say the advantages | :22:55. | :23:01. | |
are clear, particularly for the elderly, in tackling | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
isolation and loneliness. Finding the right places | :23:08. | :23:09. | |
and making sure both children The benefits really do | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
outweigh the disadvantages. This is a model for other | :23:16. | :23:23. | |
care home providers It certainly works in the rest | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
of the world, there is no reason why we could not see many more of these | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
in the UK. Back inside, Walter is making | :23:34. | :23:35. | |
glasses out of Play-Doh Careful play arranged by grown-ups | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
is teaching them many How to handle things | :23:40. | :23:47. | |
and handle situations. As an old person, I am coming | :23:48. | :23:57. | |
to the end of my life, it is a great joy to see new human | :23:58. | :24:00. | |
being is growing and growing slowly into people, | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
into humanity, into maturity. There are certainly hopes here | :24:05. | :24:11. | |
that it will benefit young and old. You can email us at | :24:12. | :24:34. | |

when she took on our challenge. We have Andy Murray right at the top of | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
the leaderboard. Jo Konta despite being in the quarter-finals only got | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
two. This game might not be the most important one ever. I think I've got | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
a tactic. If I was to do it, I would go for the Clijsters technique. That | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
is how Andy Murray did it. She gets three balls in her hand at once and | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
then bang, bang, bang. Speed and accuracy. Just like that! When can | :25:22. | :25:31. | |
we have a go? ! Do you think they're saving us from ourselves. For the | :25:32. | :25:32. | |
final. We could team up. Tim Muffet is at Harrogate at the | :25:33. | :25:51. | |
Yorkshire Show. The idea of a tractor was something which was a | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
distant futuristic dream. It wasn't until 1917 that tractors, as we know | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
them today, first came about, the first mass produced tractor was | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
created then. Henry Ford, best known to many for creating the model T car | :26:08. | :26:14. | |
and popularising cars, he did the same for tractors because before | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
then they were huge machines. He made them accessible and affordable | :26:20. | :26:27. | |
for farmers and it transformed the ago cultural industry. -- | :26:28. | :26:37. | |
agricultural industry. The show jumping is also here, the sheep | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
shearing competition is later on, and the various other displays. You | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
don't often see these. They are celebrating 100 years of tractors. | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
Mighty fine they are too if I say so myself. We'll talk to the person | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
that owns and runs these fine vintage machines. Now here is the | :26:56. | :26:59. | |

Hello, this is Breakfast with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. | :30:19. | :30:28. | |
An end to cash-in-hand jobs, and changing the rules | :30:29. | :30:32. | |
on the minimum wage - just two of the recommendations in | :30:33. | :30:35. | |
The study - led by a former adviser to Tony Blair, Matthew Taylor - | :30:36. | :30:43. | |
recommends that people working in what's known | :30:44. | :30:44. | |
where workers get paid per task, should receive | :30:45. | :30:48. | |
new legal protections, and their employers should make | :30:49. | :30:49. | |
In the last ten years, the economy's generated record | :30:50. | :31:01. | |
numbers of jobs and the lowest unemployment rate | :31:02. | :31:03. | |
But according to the man who led a government-commissioned review, | :31:04. | :31:07. | |
more jobs hasn't always meant more good jobs. | :31:08. | :31:09. | |
In my view, there's too much work, particularly at the bottom end | :31:10. | :31:12. | |
of the labour market, that isn't of a high enough quality | :31:13. | :31:14. | |
and there's too many people not having their rights fully respected | :31:15. | :31:17. | |
and there are too many people treated at work like cogs | :31:18. | :31:19. | |
in a machine rather than being human beings and there are too many people | :31:20. | :31:23. | |
who don't see a route from their current job to progress | :31:24. | :31:25. | |
The review will recommend that if someone is controlled | :31:26. | :31:29. | |
and supervised, then they're classified as a worker, | :31:30. | :31:31. | |
or dependent contractor - rather than self-employed. | :31:32. | :31:33. | |
Those workers may be entitled to benefits like holiday pay | :31:34. | :31:36. | |
and employers may have to pay national insurance at 13.8%. | :31:37. | :31:41. | |
That's broadly in line with a landmark court ruling | :31:42. | :31:48. | |
in a case brought by this former Uber driver, Yaseen Aslam. | :31:49. | :31:51. | |
I don't think it helps me as a worker for what I've been | :31:52. | :31:55. | |
fighting for in the tribunal, and that's what's concerning, | :31:56. | :31:57. | |
because the workers have not been involved in the process | :31:58. | :31:59. | |
The review also makes a bigger point that self-employed work, | :32:00. | :32:05. | |
from plumbers to painters, yields far less tax for the Treasury, | :32:06. | :32:08. | |
especially if the work is cash in hand. | :32:09. | :32:11. | |
For consumers, though, the recommendations are likely | :32:12. | :32:15. | |
to mean inexpensive services will no longer be as cheap. | :32:16. | :32:18. | |
Theresa May will make her first big speech later this morning | :32:19. | :32:24. | |
since being re-elected as Prime Minister in June. | :32:25. | :32:27. | |
Her party is coming under pressure, with no outright majority, | :32:28. | :32:32. | |
and just yesterday Conservative MP Anne Marie Morris was suspended, | :32:33. | :32:34. | |
after a recording emerged of her using a racially-offensive term | :32:35. | :32:38. | |
during a public discussion about Brexit. | :32:39. | :32:44. | |
An American military aircraft has crashed in the state of Mississippi, | :32:45. | :32:47. | |
killing at least 16 people, according to US media. | :32:48. | :32:55. | |
The US Marines said the headless transport aircraft had experienced a | :32:56. | :32:58. | |
mishap. It crashed about 100 miles north | :32:59. | :32:58. | |
of Jackson, the state capital. A man has been charged over an acid | :32:59. | :33:01. | |
attack on a woman and her cousin John Tomlin, who's 24, | :33:02. | :33:04. | |
is alleged to have thrown acid at Resham Khan and Jameel Muhktar | :33:05. | :33:08. | |
through their car window. Both suffered severe burns | :33:09. | :33:10. | |
to the face and body. A BBC investigation has found nearly | :33:11. | :33:18. | |
500 children aged 12 and under have been questioned by police | :33:19. | :33:21. | |
for sexting since 2013. The practice is when someone | :33:22. | :33:23. | |
uses a mobile phone to send indecent pictures | :33:24. | :33:26. | |
of themselves to others. The guidance around the law changed | :33:27. | :33:30. | |
last year in England and Wales to say if it's a young person | :33:31. | :33:33. | |
creating the images, the police can choose | :33:34. | :33:35. | |
to record that as a crime, but that taking formal action | :33:36. | :33:38. | |
isn't in the public interest. Clearly, the NSPCC don't want | :33:39. | :33:44. | |
children criminalised for this sort of behaviour, and it's really | :33:45. | :33:46. | |
important that police are talking to children in a restorative way, | :33:47. | :33:49. | |
looking at the safeguarding issues for that child, making sure | :33:50. | :33:51. | |
that the child isn't criminalised. President Trump's eldest son | :33:52. | :34:00. | |
is facing further allegations about a meeting he held | :34:01. | :34:02. | |
with a Russian lawyer The New York Times says that | :34:03. | :34:05. | |
Donald Trump Junior was told before the meeting that the lawyer, | :34:06. | :34:15. | |
who was offering damaging was acting for the government | :34:16. | :34:17. | |
in Moscow. Donald Trump Junior has insisted | :34:18. | :34:20. | |
that the lawyer provided on his father's rival | :34:21. | :34:22. | |
for the presidency. You hold onto that! Seriously, it is | :34:23. | :34:38. | |
a heavier pen than normal. It is drawing my calibration out! | :34:39. | :34:41. | |
Plans to almost double the number of Welsh speakers | :34:42. | :34:44. | |
The Welsh Government wants one million people to be | :34:45. | :34:49. | |
There will be more teaching at an earlier age | :34:50. | :34:54. | |
and more Welsh-speaking teachers in primary and secondary schools. | :34:55. | :34:58. | |
You would think you have been drinking coffee! | :34:59. | :35:02. | |
You are reaching for your second or even your third cup | :35:03. | :35:05. | |
of coffee this morning, there's good news. | :35:06. | :35:07. | |
I am convinced this is one of these surveys... It is two important | :35:08. | :35:13. | |
studies that have loved that thousands of people! | :35:14. | :35:15. | |
Scientists behind two new studies say they've uncovered | :35:16. | :35:17. | |
the clearest evidence yet that the beverage | :35:18. | :35:18. | |
But others, like Dan, are saying there's no actual proof | :35:19. | :35:24. | |
I will read you the study later! Saying that coffee makes you live | :35:25. | :35:38. | |
longer... It certainly wakes me up. | :35:39. | :35:42. | |
If you didn't have your coffee just before six, I do not know where we | :35:43. | :35:46. | |
would be! Puppy news for you now! We all know that puppies can be | :35:47. | :35:48. | |
naughty and chew or eat but this puppy definitely bit off | :35:49. | :35:51. | |
more than it could chew. He managed to swallow | :35:52. | :35:55. | |
three dog leads while playing Unsurprisingly, they didn't go | :35:56. | :35:58. | |
down very well, and he Although he had to have emergency | :35:59. | :36:01. | |
surgery, he's made a full recovery. Look at him, gorgeous, he has made a | :36:02. | :36:08. | |
full recovery. Victoria Derbyshire is on BBC Two | :36:09. | :36:19. | |
later, she can tell us what is on the programme. We are talking to one | :36:20. | :36:23. | |
of the richest women in the world, Melinda gates, about a multi-million | :36:24. | :36:27. | |
pound efforts to get contraception to women in the poorest parts of the | :36:28. | :36:31. | |
planet. When you travel the world, you meet so many women that will | :36:32. | :36:36. | |
tell you that if they can space the births of their children, they can | :36:37. | :36:40. | |
feed and educate them, and that is what they want to do. The It's | :36:41. | :36:46. | |
Foundation is calling on leaders around the world to do more to help. | :36:47. | :36:47. | |
-- Gates Foundation. Coming up on Breakfast this morning, | :36:48. | :36:52. | |
we'll take a look at the history of the mass-produced tractor | :36:53. | :36:57. | |
on its 100th birthday, and what the future | :36:58. | :36:59. | |
is for the machine. In the early hours of this morning, | :37:00. | :37:03. | |
scientists had the very first close-up look at Jupiter's | :37:04. | :37:05. | |
10,000 mile wide storm. We'll speak to one of the team | :37:06. | :37:08. | |
behind the mission. It is known as the giant red spot. | :37:09. | :37:24. | |
I had one of those on my forehead this morning, thankfully it has been | :37:25. | :37:25. | |
removed! And after nine, we'll be joined | :37:26. | :37:26. | |
by Downton Abbey's Laura Carmichael who are about to star | :37:27. | :37:29. | |
in a new play together. That would be just after nine, | :37:30. | :37:39. | |
someone is messing with our times, a Time Lord has fiddled with it! | :37:40. | :37:46. | |
Downton Abbey and Doctor Who, that has got to be a great combination. | :37:47. | :37:51. | |
Also, really exciting things going on at Wimbledon, Sally has the | :37:52. | :37:52. | |
details. You are on! Morning, yeah, two British players | :37:53. | :38:01. | |
through to the singles quarterfinals for the first time in 44 years, Andy | :38:02. | :38:06. | |
Murray is through, we are used to that, but Jo Konta made it through | :38:07. | :38:09. | |
as well, and what is his secret weapon? What is his secret weapon? | :38:10. | :38:16. | |
These! Get off! Honestly, I have been fighting the crew all morning, | :38:17. | :38:23. | |
I want to show you at home what Jo Konta has been using to keep her | :38:24. | :38:28. | |
going. She has been baking every day after her matches and bringing | :38:29. | :38:31. | |
muffins in for the rest of her team, it is obviously doing the trick. Can | :38:32. | :38:35. | |
she go all the way? The last woman to do that was back in 1977, of | :38:36. | :38:41. | |
course it was Virginia Wade in the year of the Queen's Silver Jubilee. | :38:42. | :38:46. | |
Could Konta be next? She takes on Simona Halep this afternoon after a | :38:47. | :38:50. | |
really tough win over Caroline Garcia. | :38:51. | :38:53. | |
It's those positions, those situations that I dream of, | :38:54. | :38:55. | |
or dreamed of, when I was a little girl, and even now to be part | :38:56. | :38:59. | |
of those battles on big stages, so I think that's really what it's | :39:00. | :39:02. | |
Murray reached the quarterfinals for the tenth year in a row, | :39:03. | :39:11. | |
thanks to a relatively straightforward win | :39:12. | :39:13. | |
After all the injury worries before the tournament started, | :39:14. | :39:17. | |
so I was also a little bit concerned. | :39:18. | :39:23. | |
When you're having issues just a few days before a big event, | :39:24. | :39:27. | |
it's frustrating, but I managed it well, | :39:28. | :39:29. | |
and I think I played some good stuff. | :39:30. | :39:32. | |
Today, like I said, was the best I've played so far in the tournament | :39:33. | :39:35. | |
and, yeah, I'm doing well, so hopefully I keep it up. | :39:36. | :39:43. | |
Roger Federer is through, but Rafael Nadal is out. | :39:44. | :39:49. | |
Gilles Muller beat the two-time champion in an epic five-setter. | :39:50. | :39:53. | |
It was 15-13 in the decider, and the pair were on court | :39:54. | :39:56. | |
for nearly five hours, meaning Novak Djokovic's match | :39:57. | :40:00. | |
of the scheduling of matches yesterday. | :40:01. | :40:07. | |
World number one Angelique Kerber said she was really surprised | :40:08. | :40:09. | |
to find herself on Court Two after she lost to Garbine Mugaruza. | :40:10. | :40:14. | |
Only two of the eight women's singles matches | :40:15. | :40:16. | |
Away from Wimbledon, Romelu Lukaku has completed his ?75 million move | :40:17. | :40:25. | |
He trained with his new team-mates for the first time yesterday | :40:26. | :40:33. | |
on United's pre-season tour of the USA. | :40:34. | :40:36. | |
We told you yesterday about Wayne Rooney wearing | :40:37. | :40:38. | |
his Everton pyjamas in secret for the last 13 years. | :40:39. | :40:43. | |
Now he's got his hands on the offical kit after | :40:44. | :40:45. | |
He says he wants to win trophies at his boyhood club | :40:46. | :40:50. | |
and force his way back into the national team, | :40:51. | :40:52. | |
I'm not coming into a retirement home. | :40:53. | :40:55. | |
I want to win, I want to be successful at this football club, | :40:56. | :41:00. | |
but that'll build up in the next few weeks, and I'm excited. | :41:01. | :41:13. | |
After a rest day, the Tour de France resumes today | :41:14. | :41:15. | |
with a stage to favour the sprinters. | :41:16. | :41:17. | |
but he'll have to make do without team-mate Geraint Thomas, | :41:18. | :41:21. | |
who crashed on Sunday and broke his collarbone. | :41:22. | :41:27. | |
Even without Geraint yesterday, he crashed fairly early on, | :41:28. | :41:30. | |
and I think risen to the occassion of defending the yellow jersey. | :41:31. | :41:50. | |
Back to Wimbledon, what not to do when you are warming up for a crunch | :41:51. | :41:55. | |
match on court number one, look at these incredible pictures of Rafa | :41:56. | :42:00. | |
Nadal about to go out yesterday. He wallops it said on the ceiling, we | :42:01. | :42:04. | |
have all done it, haven't we? You try to laugh, but I bet that really | :42:05. | :42:10. | |
hurt! Thankfully, he saw the funny side, but probably an accurate | :42:11. | :42:13. | |
indication that it was not going to be his day. This morning he has | :42:14. | :42:18. | |
probably woken up with aching arms and legs and quite a sore head too. | :42:19. | :42:23. | |
You have seen some of the greatest tennis players in the world have a | :42:24. | :42:31. | |
go at our Breakfast moped challenge, how many tennis balls they can get | :42:32. | :42:35. | |
into our giant mug in the space of 30 seconds. It looks like it will be | :42:36. | :42:39. | |
really easy and that you will be able to do a - it is not, it is very | :42:40. | :42:45. | |
challenging, Andy Murray is top of the leaderboard, and we asked or | :42:46. | :42:48. | |
time Grand Slam when I came Clijsters to have a go, and here is | :42:49. | :42:51. | |
how she got on. So, Kim Clijsters, | :42:52. | :42:52. | |
welcome to BBC Breakfast. So you are a former world number | :42:53. | :42:53. | |
one, four Grand Slam titles under your belt, including three | :42:54. | :42:58. | |
US Opens, one Australian Open, but nothing compares | :42:59. | :43:00. | |
to the challenge Pressure, a lot of pressure, | :43:01. | :43:01. | |
a little bit nervous. You understand the rules, | :43:02. | :43:08. | |
as many balls as you can get OK, good start, I'm liking | :43:09. | :43:16. | |
the technique, strong technique. It's been successful in the past, | :43:17. | :43:31. | |
one has definitely gone in. That is now nearly ten | :43:32. | :43:36. | |
seconds down, Kim. She's not going to change up this | :43:37. | :43:39. | |
technique, it's definitely working for her, this is going to be | :43:40. | :43:48. | |
a strong performance from former OK, Kim, we've got | :43:49. | :43:51. | |
five seconds left. Just about, well done, I think | :43:52. | :43:55. | |
that was a fantastic performance. Are you feeling | :43:56. | :44:03. | |
confident about this? I don't know. | :44:04. | :44:09. | |
I have no idea how many. One, two, three, four, five, six, | :44:10. | :44:11. | |
seven, eight, nine, ten. I didn't beat Andy, but you know, | :44:12. | :44:17. | |
I'll give him the win. Really well done for having a go | :44:18. | :44:26. | |
at our Game, Set, Mug Challenge. That is Kim Clijsters with Holly | :44:27. | :44:44. | |
Hamilton, let's see where she is on the leaderboard, because she did | :44:45. | :44:50. | |
brilliantly. Andy right at the top with 14, a whopping 14, will anyone | :44:51. | :44:55. | |
beat that by the end of week? In second place, jointly James and Kim | :44:56. | :44:56. | |
Clijsters. In fourth place, Charlie Stayt, who | :44:57. | :45:10. | |
managed to get seven balls into the BBC Breakfast mug! There will be | :45:11. | :45:16. | |
more stars playing over the coming days, we have got some really good | :45:17. | :45:20. | |
ones coming up. If you want to watch more Wimbledon today, listen to the | :45:21. | :45:27. | |
tennis, keep in touch, all afternoon on BBC Radio 5 live and BBC Two from | :45:28. | :45:28. | |
12 o'clock. We are just having a few technical | :45:29. | :45:41. | |
issues, Louise has called on something and broken a microphone. | :45:42. | :45:44. | |
I think I have genuinely broken it! We shall carry on, I am sure we will | :45:45. | :45:47. | |
hear you at some stage! It's a storm twice the size | :45:48. | :45:49. | |
of earth, raging over Jupiter's Great Red Spot has | :45:50. | :45:51. | |
intrigued scientists since its discovery almost 200 years | :45:52. | :45:54. | |
ago, and in the early hours of this morning, | :45:55. | :45:56. | |
the spacecraft Juno flew the closest The aim is to discover more | :45:57. | :45:59. | |
about Jupiter and its famous storm, but it'll take a few days before | :46:00. | :46:03. | |
we get to see those first pictures. In the meantime, here's what we know | :46:04. | :46:06. | |
about the great gas giant Very peaceful! But not if you are | :46:07. | :46:10. | |
close! Behind us you can see the first set | :46:11. | :47:20. | |
of images that the space craft Juno sent back to Earth from Jupiter | :47:21. | :47:23. | |
earlier this year. We won't see the pictures from this | :47:24. | :47:25. | |
morning's close up fly-by Joining us now is Dr Jonathan | :47:26. | :47:28. | |
Nichols, a Juno mission scientist. I love stories like this, you must | :47:29. | :47:40. | |
be extremely excited? I can't wait. The images will come on Friday. The | :47:41. | :47:47. | |
scientists have to work on them to get them looking nice, but I can't | :47:48. | :47:54. | |
wait. Louise is not happy with the name Great Red Spot. What do we know | :47:55. | :48:09. | |
about it, and what will we know about it? The storm is bigger than | :48:10. | :48:15. | |
the Earth, you could fit the Earth inside the Great Red Spot. It is | :48:16. | :48:20. | |
similar to a Harry Kane on the Earth, but Harry Kane 's need an | :48:21. | :48:24. | |
ocean, they need to be over an ocean to survive. Jupiter is different | :48:25. | :48:27. | |
from the earth because there is no solid surface, so we don't actually | :48:28. | :48:32. | |
understand how he Great Red Spot can survive for so long. I understand | :48:33. | :48:37. | |
the storm has been raging for many years, but it has been changing over | :48:38. | :48:44. | |
time? Yes, it has been observed as long as we have been looking at | :48:45. | :48:47. | |
Jupiter with telescopes, for centuries. It changes, and it has | :48:48. | :48:54. | |
halved in size since the Voyager spacecraft flew by in the 70s. It | :48:55. | :49:01. | |
changes over time, it is about half the size, but it is still bigger | :49:02. | :49:07. | |
than the Earth. Where does Juno go after this? Friday will be a big | :49:08. | :49:12. | |
day, you will be glued to a screen as the images come in, but what is | :49:13. | :49:17. | |
next? Juno has been orbiting Jupiter for the last year, and it is making | :49:18. | :49:23. | |
orbits where it comes in, died is close, within 9000 kilometres, | :49:24. | :49:27. | |
closer to Jupiter than the size of the Great Red Spot, and comes out on | :49:28. | :49:32. | |
a long orbit. It has done that for about a year, it will carry on for | :49:33. | :49:38. | |
at least another year. The thing about Juno, it is limited by the | :49:39. | :49:42. | |
radiation around Jupiter. Jupiter is a radioactive planet, nasty for the | :49:43. | :49:48. | |
electronics, and when Juno guides through, it takes a dose of | :49:49. | :49:52. | |
radiation, and that will damage the electronics. How important is this | :49:53. | :50:03. | |
information, for science? When Juno is flying over the Great Red Spot, | :50:04. | :50:06. | |
we will find out how deep the sport is. We can see it on the surface but | :50:07. | :50:11. | |
we do not understand how far down it goes, so it will tell us the 3-D | :50:12. | :50:15. | |
structure of the Great Red Spot and what it is made of and why it is so | :50:16. | :50:19. | |
red. Juno will tell us about the formation of Jupiter, the interior | :50:20. | :50:24. | |
structure, what it is made of, and that tells us where Jupiter formed, | :50:25. | :50:29. | |
and then that tells us about how the Earth formed. Would you have a | :50:30. | :50:34. | |
scientific get-together on Friday? A big gang? Who will be looking at the | :50:35. | :50:41. | |
images and we will have a party! I can't wait, I am sitting forward on | :50:42. | :50:46. | |
my seat, waiting for it. You collaborate with the Americans is | :50:47. | :50:53. | |
that unusual? In science, it is an international discipline, especially | :50:54. | :50:59. | |
space. It is very expensive to send spacecraft to Jupiter, we need to | :51:00. | :51:03. | |
work across international borders to make a successful mission, and Juno | :51:04. | :51:07. | |
has been a spectacularly successful mission. There will be covering it | :51:08. | :51:11. | |
on Friday. Really looking forward to seeing the | :51:12. | :51:17. | |
images. Can we call it a bit different from Great Red Spot? Bill? | :51:18. | :51:22. | |
I think the great big spot could catch on! | :51:23. | :51:25. | |
Bill the spot! Carol's at Wimbledon with a look | :51:26. | :51:27. | |
at this morning's weather. You don't have to do the weather on | :51:28. | :51:35. | |
Jupiter! That's a relief! You will notice a | :51:36. | :51:47. | |
change today, especially across southern counties, it will feel much | :51:48. | :51:51. | |
colder than it has. We are looking at significant rain for the first | :51:52. | :51:56. | |
time in a while. Our gardens are crying out for it. If you are coming | :51:57. | :52:01. | |
to Wimbledon, the forecast is more unsubtle, more cloud, we are not | :52:02. | :52:10. | |
immune to rain. Later on, we will see the heavier and more persistent | :52:11. | :52:14. | |
rain, especially later in the afternoon and into the early | :52:15. | :52:21. | |
evening. Feeling cooler. The rain that is affecting Wimbledon later is | :52:22. | :52:24. | |
already affecting parts of the South West and Wales, and it will drift | :52:25. | :52:30. | |
east through the day. For Scotland and Northern Ireland, you have | :52:31. | :52:34. | |
sunshine and showers. There is a lot of cloud around, we have seen | :52:35. | :52:37. | |
showers, and we will see further showers. For northern England, more | :52:38. | :52:46. | |
coherent rain. Some of it is heavy as it drifts east. For Scotland, one | :52:47. | :52:52. | |
or two showers, and for Northern Ireland, but some bright spells. As | :52:53. | :52:57. | |
we come back into Wales, rain. The heaviest is across the South. For | :52:58. | :53:01. | |
south-west England, quite a bit of cloud, with showery rain. As we | :53:02. | :53:06. | |
drift further east, through Gloucestershire, into the South | :53:07. | :53:13. | |
Midlands, also doubles the Home Counties, a few showers, but a lot | :53:14. | :53:17. | |
of dry and bright weather as well. The rain we have in the West is | :53:18. | :53:23. | |
moving east quite smartly. A drier interlude, possibly with one or two | :53:24. | :53:28. | |
showers, then the heavy rain moves in and moves across to eastern | :53:29. | :53:32. | |
areas. North of that, a mixture of sunshine, bright spells and showers. | :53:33. | :53:39. | |
The link all if you are in the showers or the rain. The rain | :53:40. | :53:43. | |
continues to push towards the North Sea as we head through the evening | :53:44. | :53:47. | |
and overnight. By the time we finished with it, we could have at | :53:48. | :53:53. | |
least 40 millimetres. North of that, across Scotland, northern England | :53:54. | :53:57. | |
and Northern Ireland, variable cloud, clear skies, and the | :53:58. | :54:01. | |
temperatures could be low enough for a touch of frost in sheltered glens. | :54:02. | :54:07. | |
More comfortable to sleep in in the south-east. Tomorrow, we lose the | :54:08. | :54:12. | |
rain, and high-pressure built-in, hitting us a day of sunny spells. | :54:13. | :54:20. | |
Thursday, again a lot of dry weather around. A fair bit of sunshine. A | :54:21. | :54:25. | |
few showers in the north and west. A new weather front coming in across | :54:26. | :54:29. | |
north-west Scotland, introducing grain. Temperatures roughly where | :54:30. | :54:35. | |
they should be at this stage in July. Pollen levels will be low or | :54:36. | :54:43. | |
moderate today. That is good news for me, I don't know about you! | :54:44. | :54:51. | |
I have got a confession to make. I know we had 45 muffins earlier, we | :54:52. | :54:55. | |
only have one left! Wedded you put them? We might have eaten them all! | :54:56. | :55:03. | |
I saved this one for you, though! These muffins have been working for | :55:04. | :55:09. | |
Johanna Konta, she has been baking muffins, bringing them in, they have | :55:10. | :55:13. | |
dubbed white chocolate and raspberry, banana and chocolate | :55:14. | :55:16. | |
chip, somebody is asking for peanut butter and banana, that sounds like | :55:17. | :55:21. | |
my favourite. If we keep eating muffins, when we have a go at the | :55:22. | :55:29. | |
game, we might be brilliant. We will test the theory! See you later! | :55:30. | :55:33. | |
Enjoyed your mini muffin! I am looking forward to you playing | :55:34. | :55:44. | |
Game Set Mug! You never brought any food in from | :55:45. | :55:47. | |
MasterChef. I have brought it for other people. | :55:48. | :55:51. | |
OK! I will bring you some jam. Home-made | :55:52. | :55:56. | |
jam? Not really, I want some sort of | :55:57. | :55:58. | |
cake. It's 100 years since | :55:59. | :55:59. | |
the first mass-produced They were sent to help | :56:00. | :56:01. | |
during the First World War, when many farmers were | :56:02. | :56:04. | |
on the front line. Breakfast's Tim Muffett | :56:05. | :56:06. | |
is at the Great Yorkshire Show, The show started in 1838, this year | :56:07. | :56:23. | |
it is all about the tractor, as well as many other attractions. 1917 is | :56:24. | :56:29. | |
when it first started, and tractors have transformed agriculture. What a | :56:30. | :56:33. | |
collection of crackers we have here this morning, dating back to 1917. | :56:34. | :56:40. | |
Brian, you are from the Vintage tractor... The National Vintage | :56:41. | :56:49. | |
tractor and engine club. This is a 1917 models for sport over to help | :56:50. | :56:54. | |
with the war effort. It was one of the first that Henry Ford built. | :56:55. | :57:01. | |
They send them over because all of the men and horses had gone off to | :57:02. | :57:05. | |
the war, and they were short of manpower. He transformed the way | :57:06. | :57:11. | |
agriculture worked. We think of him as changing the car industry, and | :57:12. | :57:17. | |
tractors as well. He made more impact on agriculture, because he | :57:18. | :57:23. | |
introduced a lightweight tractor that the small farmer could afford. | :57:24. | :57:30. | |
He wanted to get rid of the drudgery associated with the horse, because | :57:31. | :57:33. | |
he was fed up of it. Fascinating stuff. You wrote one of these when | :57:34. | :57:44. | |
you were ten. We bought it in 1936 for ?60 second-hand. Today, you turn | :57:45. | :57:51. | |
a key and it starts immediately, but then it could be two or three hours, | :57:52. | :57:57. | |
especially in winter. What is it like, seeing it today? It is | :57:58. | :58:10. | |
marvellous. Give us a spin later! I would like to crank it up! It merely | :58:11. | :58:18. | |
fetched my thumb off. We don't want to do that. A fantastic load of | :58:19. | :58:25. | |
events. A lot of people admiring the tractors. As they have changed, | :58:26. | :58:31. | |
agriculture has changed. And the way in which the machines operate is | :58:32. | :58:36. | |
transformed's has transformed the way farmers work. What is it like, | :58:37. | :58:42. | |
driving a tractor? Extremely important, they help us with | :58:43. | :58:46. | |
everything that we do everyday, feeding cattle, general feeding. You | :58:47. | :58:53. | |
are both young farmers, but even in the time you have been working, how | :58:54. | :58:58. | |
have tractors changed? At the latest has just got cheap DRS, so you | :58:59. | :59:03. | |
barely even have to drive it, it tells you where to go, where you | :59:04. | :59:09. | |
have been, it is brilliant. What could happen to tractors in the | :59:10. | :59:13. | |
future? Have they got as advanced as they can ever be? Definitely not. | :59:14. | :59:18. | |
Think what will happen in the next 20, 30, 50 years. To see the old | :59:19. | :59:24. | |
ones as well, alongside the new ones, it is quite something. A | :59:25. | :59:28. | |
hundred years ago that is when it started. | :59:29. | :59:34. | |
They have moved semantically quickly, and it shows what can be | :59:35. | :59:39. | |
done in a short period of time. Thanks very much indeed, the show | :59:40. | :59:49. | |
goes on, there will be sheep shearing, horses from Poldark, and | :59:50. | :59:54. | |
one joke sent from a couple people on social media this morning - what | :59:55. | :59:57. | |
to call someone who used to like tractors but doesn't anymore? An | :59:58. | :00:04. | |
ex-tractor fan! Those Poldark horses are very much | :00:05. | :00:11. | |
worth seeing! The joke was so bad the cameraman | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
just moved away from him towards the ex-tractor fan! | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
You've been sending in your tractor pictures. | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
Jen has sent in a photo of her great-uncle | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
with motoring mogul Henry Ford, who was his friend. | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
If you look closely, you can just about make out | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
Henry Ford's signature at the very bottom of the photo. | :00:30. | :00:39. | |
being able to continue living in their own home is so important. | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
Now, doctors are trialling new technology which it hopes | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
It works by tracking a person's physical activity, | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
information people with dementia can't always remember. | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
It's hoped carers will feel more confident to leave a relative alone | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
for short amounts of time, and help patients feel like they're | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
Breakfast's John Maguire has been to take a look. | :00:58. | :01:09. | |
For Phil and June Bell, the home they have lived | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
in for 30 years is definitely where their hearts are. | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
And they are trialling technology which should help June stay | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
She was diagnosed with dementia a year ago. | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
One of our aims is to stay as long as we can within our home, | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
and what the technology has done is enable us to do that. | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
It does, yes, to think somebody is out there, | :01:37. | :01:49. | |
concerned about me, I think it's quite touching. | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
Various sensors monitor June's movements and activity, | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
and it regularly checks health, blood pressure, | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
Information is sent to this clinical monitoring team, | :02:09. | :02:16. | |
and staff here can combine June's medical and environmental data | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
to build up a fuller picture of her health. | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
If we look at this data, she is moving in the living room hallway | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
All those data can suggest if she is becoming agitated or not, | :02:29. | :02:44. | |
is there an infection, so putting everything together | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
could give us a picture of how well she is. | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
There are currently 200 patients with mild or moderate dementia | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
on the trial, based in the Surrey | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
and North East Hampshire NHS area, and they are looking | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
A red stethoscope and an on-screen alert warn the team | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
They may then call the household, enlist help from medical | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
teams or ask staff from the Alzheimer's Society | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
The technology is also proving useful for GPs and hospital staff. | :03:12. | :03:19. | |
This handset contains June's recent readings, | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
that again offers a better insight into her health. | :03:23. | :03:30. | |
It's been an important aspect of this project | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
that people on the trial have been able to take their data to their GP | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
or consultant so they have that set of data to make clinical judgments | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
The results of the trial, the first of its kind in the UK, | :03:42. | :03:48. | |
will not be known until next year, but early indicators are positive. | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
These gadgets are helping people stay longer in their homes, | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
safe and secure in the knowledge that help, if needed, | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
is just a phone call or a mouse click away. | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
We'll be joined by actors Laura Carmichael and Freema | :04:09. | :04:18. | |
Downton Abbey meets Doctor Who, not quite that, but stay with us! I love | :04:19. | :04:28. | |
that idea! Hello, welcome back, everybody. I | :04:29. | :06:18. | |
don't know what is the matter with wee two this morning! You speak now! | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
Our next guests are two of the UK's most-exciting young actors. | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
Laura Carmichael's best known for her role in Downton Abbey, | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
and Freema Agyeman's big break was playing Martha in | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
Now they're both going to take centre stage | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
Say it for me, ladies, apologies! Lovely to see you! First up, | :06:32. | :06:48. | |
fantastic actresses, who wants to tell me what it is about, the play? | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
Come on, one of you! Well, it is about a multitude of things, but I | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
like to think of it as a black comedy about secrets and family | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
truths. It happens around this dinner table, and it is a brilliant | :07:06. | :07:13. | |
observation of group dynamics, and I think the audience will recognise | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
the social rituals that polite society have to adhered to around | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
the table, and you can maybe recognise what role you play in | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
group gatherings, there is always somebody who is the firestarter, the | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
truth tell, the tap dancer in the group. So it is interesting to see | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
how the people start the evening, doing what they are supposed to do, | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
then it unravels. Stockard Channing is our mother-in-law, so we play the | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
girlfriends of her sons, and it is her birthday, and we have all come | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
for dinner, and it all kind of goes wrong! She plays this amazing woman, | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
an art historian and feminist activist, and so it is a sort of | :08:01. | :08:07. | |
reflection of the sacrifices she made and what happens to her sons as | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
she pursued her causes, I guess, when they were kids. What has it | :08:14. | :08:21. | |
been like, working a huge star of film and television? What has she | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
been like to work with? She is so warm, isn't she? And as into it as | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
we are. She wants to go through it in detail and talk about every | :08:33. | :08:40. | |
aspect, and she is there to be a group player. She really is. It is | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
amazing when you get to walk -- work with legends and she turns up and | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
she is normal, so down-to-earth, but yet perfect for this part, who is | :08:52. | :08:59. | |
fiercely intelligent and funny and cutting its us in our place. Yeah, | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
that is such a good point, because all the characters start with having | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
a strong belief in something at the beginning, and it is slowly | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
dissected - beaver sexted, each person starting to question their | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
beliefs, and usually it is coming from her, get into people and | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
unravel them sounds like a good dinner party! | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
I know I feel that very awkward! You have both been involved in hugely | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
successful television as well, shall we talk about the Downton effect | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
first of all? When you first started, presumably nobody had any | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
idea how immense it was going to be. True, no idea, and it was my first | :09:48. | :09:54. | |
TV job ever, and I had no clue that it would take off like it did, and | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
everyday of my life it is a gift, you get jobs off the back of it, so | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
it has been amazing. There you are, and you work in a small programme | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
called Doctor Who! I am not sure many people will have heard it. | :10:10. | :10:17. | |
Quite niche! It never leaves you, does it? No, I was at a convention | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
this weekend, and it has been ten years since I did it. Has it | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
really?! It was the job I did for the shortest amount of time in my | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
professional career, and it is a gift, because the association, you | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
do not want to disassociate yourself, because it is such a | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
wonderful, happy product, and the opportunities that it ought you are | :10:40. | :10:49. | |
incredible. And the fans are very loyal. They are so loyal, whatever | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
job you go on to do, they will always support you, and you cannot | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
ask for more than that. Would you ever go back? You can never say | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
never, especially with Doctor Who! Is this where you tell us you are | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
the new Doctor?! You just never know! I think I played, you know, my | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
own character, my own cousin in season two of the show, so anything | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
can happen, you know. Talk about the Doctor Who convention, people come | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
dressed as all sorts, is there a Downton equivalent? Well, there is | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
not a sci-fi thing, but there are events, and people do dress up. Do | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
you get invited? Yeah, well, signing things, or when we have done trips | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
to America, they are very enthusiastic! And it is funny, | :11:43. | :11:49. | |
because it is period costumes, it is really inventive, just lovely. Did | :11:50. | :11:57. | |
you know there was a crossover between Doctor Who and Downton Abbey | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
fans? You are both really busy, so, Laura, tell us what else you have | :12:03. | :12:12. | |
got going on. Yes, Man In An Orange Shirt is coming on the BBC this | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
week, a story of two men who fall in love in the Second World War, the | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
fallout of that, the marriages that they go on to have. I play the | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
sister to one of their wives, and how it is a secret that tears them | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
apart, and that is the first part, said in the 1940s, then the second | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
part is modern-day and follows the wife character, played by Vanessa | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
Redgrave. So it is seeing how that changes, impacts. You have had huge | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
success with Doctor Who, which I still, to quite believe was ten | :12:48. | :12:58. | |
years ago, and Sense8 has been massive on Netflix. Yes, we have got | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
a Sense8 special that will be filmed for it. I mean, season to just came | :13:04. | :13:10. | |
out, and it was axed by Netflix, and there was such a backlash from the | :13:11. | :13:18. | |
Van Dam! Because it is such an important show with the message is | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
that it is giving across, love and unity in these dark times of | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
divisiveness, what seems to be happening at the moment, so they | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
film in 14 countries around the world, so it is very expensive. It | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
was not coming from a place of Netflix not supporting it, it was a | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
business decision, but the fans kicked right off, and we have now | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
