:00:10. > :00:12.The first step to Brexit becoming law.

:00:13. > :00:15.The bill to convert EU law into British legislation

:00:16. > :00:19.The government calls it a major milestone.

:00:20. > :00:35.Opposition parties threaten to obstruct its progress.

:00:36. > :00:47.The parent's of terminally ill baby, Charlie Gard, put their case

:00:48. > :00:49.to the High Court, arguing that an experimental new treatment

:00:50. > :01:00.All British hopes now lie with Johanna Konta,

:01:01. > :01:01.after Andy Murray was knocked out yesterday.

:01:02. > :01:04.She faces Venus Williams on Centre Court later today bidding

:01:05. > :01:07.to become the first British woman to reach a Wimbledon singles final

:01:08. > :01:12.The financial regulator says more and more people

:01:13. > :01:15.are accessing their pension pot early without taking proper advice.

:01:16. > :01:17.Pension freedoms were introduced two years ago and I'll be speak

:01:18. > :01:20.to the Pensions Minister who made the changes,

:01:21. > :01:23.and asking if people are paying too much tax as a result.

:01:24. > :01:28.We're live at the Natural History Museum, where this is the sight that

:01:29. > :01:30.will be greeting visitors from today.

:01:31. > :01:34.And Carol has the weather form Wimbledon.

:01:35. > :01:44.Good morning. It is a much more mild start to the day here today. We

:01:45. > :01:49.don't have the keen breeze we had yesterday at Wimbledon. The outside

:01:50. > :02:00.chance of a showers. The UK, a mostly dry forecast. Some showers

:02:01. > :02:04.possible. I will have more throughout the programme. Thank you.

:02:05. > :02:08.The government will today publish a long-awaited bill that

:02:09. > :02:10.will convert European Union laws into British legislation.

:02:11. > :02:13.It's been referred to as the Repeal Bill,

:02:14. > :02:15.but its official title is the European Union Withdrawal

:02:16. > :02:20.Its purpose is to replace EU law with UK legislation and smooth

:02:21. > :02:24.The Brexit Secretary David Davis has described it as a "major milestone."

:02:25. > :02:26.However, political opponents have threatened to disrupt

:02:27. > :02:32.Our political correspondent, Ben Wright, is in Westminster.

:02:33. > :02:39.Good morning. Lots of questions about how easy it will be to get

:02:40. > :02:49.this through for the government of Theresa May. Good morning. This is

:02:50. > :02:56.very significant. On the face of it, it is simple. It repeals the 1972

:02:57. > :03:01.act and ends the application of EU law in the UK. Once all of the

:03:02. > :03:08.negotiations are completed and the UK leads the EU in March 2019, it

:03:09. > :03:11.can do it because of this bill being passed. It will do something more

:03:12. > :03:16.significant, transferring thousands of rules and regulations that

:03:17. > :03:21.currently apply to the UK because of membership to the EU, taking all of

:03:22. > :03:26.those laws and regulations, and putting them on a UK Statute book.

:03:27. > :03:32.There will be a huge parliamentary fight over what that should look

:03:33. > :03:36.like and what the oversight will be, what powers ministers will have to

:03:37. > :03:42.change rules over the next few years. The timetable is

:03:43. > :03:46.extraordinarily tight. The Lib Dems and Labour have said clearly they

:03:47. > :03:50.are willing to make the life of the government hell. The government has

:03:51. > :03:55.no majority. There will be many close votes when this comes before

:03:56. > :04:02.Parliament. It will be debated in the Oldham. There has been a lot of

:04:03. > :04:08.criticism of Theresa May's handling of this. David Davis says he was

:04:09. > :04:12.hamstrung by the Prime Minister. Now we're hearing from the head of the

:04:13. > :04:18.National Audit Office. What do you make of this? Strong comments from

:04:19. > :04:21.the head of the National Audit Office, rarely as outspoken as this,

:04:22. > :04:27.especially on something as current and contentious as the Brexit

:04:28. > :04:32.process. She has said there is a lack of leadership putting Brexit at

:04:33. > :04:36.risk. She says there is no clarity from government and direction about

:04:37. > :04:42.the entire process. She said the government could, part like a

:04:43. > :04:47.chocolate orange unless government departments are given more direction

:04:48. > :04:52.quickly over how the process should happen. That is an interesting

:04:53. > :04:55.image, isn't it? Thank you very much, Ben. We will talk to you

:04:56. > :04:55.later. After 7:30 this morning,

:04:56. > :05:03.we'll talk to the Brexit Minister, The parents of Charlie guard will

:05:04. > :05:08.return to the High Court to argue he should be able to be taken to the US

:05:09. > :05:13.for experimental treatment. Doctors say the therapy will not work and

:05:14. > :05:15.his life support systems should be turned off.

:05:16. > :05:25.Charlie guard has been in intensive care at Great Ormond Street Hospital

:05:26. > :05:29.since October last year. He has an extremely rare genetic condition

:05:30. > :05:33.which has left him severely brain-damaged and unable to breathe

:05:34. > :05:38.without the help of a ventilator. Ever since his birth 11 months ago,

:05:39. > :05:43.there have been numerous legal battles escalated to the highest

:05:44. > :05:48.level in the UK and Europe. Doctors have said he is so ill he must be

:05:49. > :05:52.allowed to die, but his parents have persuaded the original judge they

:05:53. > :05:56.should be able to give what they say is new scientific evidence today

:05:57. > :06:05.suggesting experimental treatment could help their son. We have got

:06:06. > :06:08.letters from up to seven doctors and scientists demonstrating there is up

:06:09. > :06:12.to a 10% chance of this groundbreaking treatment working. We

:06:13. > :06:18.will know in a period of 2-8 weeks whether or not baby Charlie is

:06:19. > :06:26.improving. The treatment is non-invasive it is not in operation.

:06:27. > :06:30.They just put it in his food. His parents have received offers of help

:06:31. > :06:36.from the Vatican and the United States. But the judge, Judge

:06:37. > :06:40.Francis, has said any new evidence must given swiftly over concerns of

:06:41. > :06:43.prolonging the suffering of the little boy. Sophie Hutchinson, BBC

:06:44. > :06:45.News. The BBC has learned that at least

:06:46. > :06:48.one person who survived the Grenfell Tower fire has been

:06:49. > :06:51.diagnosed with cyanide poisoning. Luana Gomes, who's 12-years-old,

:06:52. > :06:53.was treated for the effects It isn't known what caused

:06:54. > :06:57.the poisoning, but her parents, who lost their unborn

:06:58. > :06:59.child after the fire, believe it may have been caused

:07:00. > :07:11.by the burning of insulation This was the home of the Gomes

:07:12. > :07:18.family on the 21st floor of Grenfell Tower. They had been living in a

:07:19. > :07:27.hotel since release from hospital. Luana Gomes was having a baby. The

:07:28. > :07:33.family allowed BBC Newsnight to film the hospital discharge papers. The

:07:34. > :07:37.12-year-old's papers detailed cyanide poisoning. She was also

:07:38. > :07:43.treated for the risk of cyanide. This is the first confirmation of a

:07:44. > :07:48.cyanide diagnosis as a result of the fire. The highly toxic gas may have

:07:49. > :07:54.been released by the blaze from the plastics. They have directed their

:07:55. > :08:01.ire at whoever decided to put this cheap material in it. It all could

:08:02. > :08:06.have been avoided. That is where the anger comes from. Yes, it was an

:08:07. > :08:14.accident. Bite it could have been avoided. It should never have

:08:15. > :08:18.happened like this. They never wanted the cladding in the first

:08:19. > :08:24.place. I don't know if it is the right word, but you just killed so

:08:25. > :08:27.many people. You just killed my son. If it was a normal situation, I

:08:28. > :08:37.could have got out. He was seven months. He could have survived.

:08:38. > :08:42.Because of their conditions, he passed away. The family has

:08:43. > :08:47.requested a full postmortem examination on their son to discover

:08:48. > :08:51.what caused his death. They should have been celebrating his birth next

:08:52. > :08:54.month, and they had already decided to call him Logan.

:08:55. > :08:57.The educational gap between poor and rich children is getting wider,

:08:58. > :09:01.A report by the "Commission on Inequality in Education," says

:09:02. > :09:04.pupils in more deprived areas are more likely to be taught

:09:05. > :09:07.The Department for Education disputes the findings,

:09:08. > :09:09.and says it's working towards improving education

:09:10. > :09:15.President Trump will arrive in France this morning

:09:16. > :09:18.He will commemorate the centenary of America's entry

:09:19. > :09:22.Tomorrow, he'll celebrate Bastille Day at the invitation

:09:23. > :09:25.of the French President, Emmanuel Macron.

:09:26. > :09:28.The Chief Minister of Gibraltar has criticised comments made yesterday

:09:29. > :09:31.by King Felipe of Spain during an address to Parliament.

:09:32. > :09:35.The King said he was confident that the UK and Spain would find

:09:36. > :09:38.a solution to the issue of Gibraltar that was acceptable to all involved.

:09:39. > :09:40.At a banquet later at Buckingham Palace,

:09:41. > :09:42.hosted by the Queen and Prince Philip, Her Majesty

:09:43. > :09:47.acknowledged the two countries had not always seen "eye to eye."

:09:48. > :09:49.Yesterday, we were talking about 15-year-old, Eddie,

:09:50. > :09:52.who took over Southern Rail's Twitter account as part

:09:53. > :09:55.Complaints about cancellations and late trains seemed to be

:09:56. > :09:59.forgotten, and followers even used the hashtag "Ask Eddie" to quiz him

:10:00. > :10:01.about duck-sized horses and how to make tea.

:10:02. > :10:04.Eddie was such a hit, that Southern Rail invited him back

:10:05. > :10:24.It has definitely been enjoyable, I will tell you that for a fact. It

:10:25. > :10:29.was a decision I would have a go on the Twitter. Yesterday, I put myself

:10:30. > :10:40.out there and said this is me. A fabulous story. It is quite hard

:10:41. > :10:44.to do. Front pages. The front page of the Times this morning. Many

:10:45. > :10:51.having the images of the royal visit from the Spanish royal couple. This

:10:52. > :10:54.is the Queen of Spain, a former journalist. This is the event at

:10:55. > :11:01.Buckingham Palace yesterday. The main story, Google paid millions of

:11:02. > :11:04.dollars to access academic research to sway public opinion into its

:11:05. > :11:10.policies in favour of the tech giant. Some stories on The Daily

:11:11. > :11:16.Telegraph. This image of Andy Murray grimacing in pain. He still managed

:11:17. > :11:24.a five set quarter-final before being defeated against the American

:11:25. > :11:29.Sam Querrey. Draw up your will in a text message. They say they must

:11:30. > :11:35.catch up with the digital age. And a lack of leadership putting Brexit at

:11:36. > :11:39.risk. We were hearing about that earlier. The head of the National

:11:40. > :11:44.Audit Office has had an unprecedented intervention, not

:11:45. > :11:50.likely to go unnoticed by ministers. They are going through that bill

:11:51. > :11:59.today. Andy Murray out on the Guardian. We will investigate this

:12:00. > :12:06.story more. Good morning. I am looking at pensions today. Big

:12:07. > :12:12.changes in many of the pages about how we can draw down our pensions.

:12:13. > :12:17.Sticking to the Formula 1 theme. A Lamborghini. Can you grab that?

:12:18. > :12:24.Thank you. It is an interesting picture. Many people fear pensioners

:12:25. > :12:30.might splash out on cars... Because people can take out their pension...

:12:31. > :12:34.Yes. But people have been careful about how to spend it. At perhaps

:12:35. > :12:39.they are paying too much tax. It was a quote from a government minister,

:12:40. > :12:46.wasn't it? About spending it on Ferraris and Lamborghinis. Yes. We

:12:47. > :12:51.will speak to him in half an hour. Looking forward to it. Wimbledon! I

:12:52. > :12:57.showed you that picture of Andy Murray limping. It was

:12:58. > :13:08.heartbreaking. Good morning, Sally. Do you see that bottom lip pushed

:13:09. > :13:13.out? That's how I felt yesterday. It wasn't great, but he did well after

:13:14. > :13:16.what we saw one week ago, to get to the quarter-final with the injury he

:13:17. > :13:26.has. Amazing. Can you see what is happening over my shoulder? Oh, you

:13:27. > :13:29.can! Say good morning to Lez, everyone. He is standing on a

:13:30. > :13:38.platform. And you see how high our PE is? He is awfully high cleaning

:13:39. > :13:42.the windows. -- high up he is. This is the cleanest place I have ever

:13:43. > :13:48.been. Every surface is polished. These people are doing their jobs

:13:49. > :13:53.from very early. A dramatic day yesterday for Andy Murray. Pictures

:13:54. > :13:57.of him limping out of Wimbledon, limping away. We don't know when we

:13:58. > :14:01.will see him on a tennis court again. The Times. A comparison

:14:02. > :14:10.between Johanna Konta and Venus Williams. Johanna Konta will play on

:14:11. > :14:16.centre court later on. 26 and 37. Five foot 11 and six foot one. Venus

:14:17. > :14:20.Williams is hugely experienced. Johanna Konta has had messages from

:14:21. > :14:27.all over the world wishing her luck. My favourite is this one from The

:14:28. > :14:32.Mirror. She shared a tweet their sedate from Bono, U2, one of the

:14:33. > :14:37.most exciting things she has said she received. -- she received. Many

:14:38. > :14:44.people are sending her positive vibes.

:14:45. > :14:55.Konta! Konta! Konta! Good luck, Jo, I know you can do it. Good luck, Jo,

:14:56. > :14:59.your number one, know you can do it. Keep playing aggressively and attack

:15:00. > :15:04.more, yeah. When you're serving, toss the ball up really why. I think

:15:05. > :15:12.she's going to win and she's talented. Good luck, Jo, you're the

:15:13. > :15:18.best, I know you can do it. Konta! Konta! Konta!

:15:19. > :15:24.Wasn't that brilliant, thanks to those kids from Raynes Park just

:15:25. > :15:31.near Wimbledon who played along nicely yesterday, all want to see Jo

:15:32. > :15:34.do well today, and so far, I'm not going to try to do the weather

:15:35. > :15:39.forecast because I'm joined by Carol, it looks like the roof might

:15:40. > :15:42.be off, what will it be like? Not too bad and much milder this morning

:15:43. > :15:49.than this time yesterday with that key northerly breeze gone, northerly

:15:50. > :15:53.isn't a good direction for us, only an outside chance of a shower at

:15:54. > :15:55.Wimbledon today and the forecast should stay dry.

:15:56. > :16:02.Again we are off to a sunny start but through the day more cloud will

:16:03. > :16:06.develop and we are looking at highs of 20 or 23 in light breezes. If

:16:07. > :16:10.you're coming down to watch, that will feel fairly pleasant. The

:16:11. > :16:15.forecast for everyone is going to be a largely dry one with sunny

:16:16. > :16:20.intervals, but also a few showers. Not all of us seeing them of course.

:16:21. > :16:24.If we start at 9am in the south, we do have the sunshine but as we go

:16:25. > :16:27.further north, around the Midlands, central and southern England, more

:16:28. > :16:31.cloud around and that could produce a few showers. Moving north into

:16:32. > :16:36.northern England and Scotland, a chilly start for you, overnight some

:16:37. > :16:39.parts have dropped to three or four but in the sunshine this morning the

:16:40. > :16:49.temperatures will pick up and the odd shower, they are the exception

:16:50. > :16:52.rather than the rule. A chilly and fine start in Northern Ireland with

:16:53. > :16:56.sunshine and in Wales we are looking at a sunny start for most but we

:16:57. > :16:59.have areas of cloud here and there that could produce some showers.

:17:00. > :17:03.South-west England seeing a fine start, variable amounts of cloud,

:17:04. > :17:06.you could see the odd shower but you will be unlucky if you do depending

:17:07. > :17:09.on your point of view and further east we have showers in

:17:10. > :17:12.Gloucestershire and Wiltshire, but they are the exception rather than

:17:13. > :17:16.the rule. Through the day what you will find is that the sun will come

:17:17. > :17:19.out, we will see more cloud developing, and then further showers

:17:20. > :17:22.developing in parts of England, Wales and parts of eastern Scotland

:17:23. > :17:27.and Northern Ireland. At the same time a more coherent band of showery

:17:28. > :17:30.rain will move into the west of Northern Ireland and west of

:17:31. > :17:37.Scotland. Through the evening and overnight that will career

:17:38. > :17:40.south-eastwards but it will tend to break up as it makes its final

:17:41. > :17:44.descent towards the south-east. Not going to be a particularly cold

:17:45. > :17:48.night and it won't be as oppressive in the south as it has been. As we

:17:49. > :17:51.start the day tomorrow, not particularly cold for many, but in

:17:52. > :17:55.rural areas it could be a bit nippy and tomorrow almost like today we're

:17:56. > :17:58.starting off on a sunny note. Some cloud building through the day and

:17:59. > :18:04.there will be showers developing as well. For Wimbledon, though, looks

:18:05. > :18:08.like it could stay dry like today. Later in the day the next weather

:18:09. > :18:12.front comes in across the north-west and that will introduce rain into

:18:13. > :18:16.north-west Scotland and the west of Northern Ireland but temperatures in

:18:17. > :18:20.the south starting to climb. Overnight Friday that system comes

:18:21. > :18:25.south, again fragmenting, not much rain from it in the south, then back

:18:26. > :18:29.into a day of bright spells, sunny spells and showers and feeling more

:18:30. > :18:33.due mid from the south, it will do the same thing again on Sunday with

:18:34. > :18:36.temperatures in the higher range of the 20 stash more humid. -- more

:18:37. > :18:40.humid. You're watching

:18:41. > :18:43.Breakfast from BBC News. The main stories this morning:

:18:44. > :18:46.The government will today publish a long-awaited bill that

:18:47. > :18:48.will convert European Union laws Lawyers representing the parents

:18:49. > :18:51.of the terminally-ill baby, Charlie Gard, will return

:18:52. > :18:54.to the High Court in London this morning, to present what they claim

:18:55. > :18:57.is new evidence showing an experimental treatment

:18:58. > :19:05.could help him. In 2015, nearly a million migrants

:19:06. > :19:12.made the dangerous journey by sea More than 10,000 are

:19:13. > :19:16.still in refugee camps, But the island of Tilos

:19:17. > :19:26.believes it has the answer, offering accommodation to migrants

:19:27. > :19:28.who work and integrate, in a trial that could be rolled out

:19:29. > :19:31.across the rest of Greece. Our Europe reporter Gavin Lee

:19:32. > :19:43.is on Till-os for us this morning. Good morning, Gavin. It looks

:19:44. > :19:47.absolutely stunning. What is quite heartwarming about this story is

:19:48. > :19:51.that there's less tension almost, the community has decided to embrace

:19:52. > :20:00.those who so needed the help? Going the other way! I have spoken to you

:20:01. > :20:04.from so many islands, Lesbos, Samos, Kos, we've had hundreds of thousands

:20:05. > :20:08.of migrants coming to the islands but more than 10,000 staying and

:20:09. > :20:12.with pretty basic conditions and they are still stuck there because

:20:13. > :20:15.the migration plan of Europe means they can't continue and at the

:20:16. > :20:21.moment there's big legal action about whether they go back to Turkey

:20:22. > :20:25.or not. This little island of Tilos, very close to Rhodes, about 800

:20:26. > :20:30.people here, the islands or what was happening last year and they decided

:20:31. > :20:33.to invite a small number of refugees to say can this work, can you

:20:34. > :20:38.integrate and bring your families and get jobs, I spoke to locals over

:20:39. > :20:42.the last few days and also refugees to get a sense of how it's working.

:20:43. > :20:49.Tilos island, ten miles from the Turkish coast, population 800. A

:20:50. > :20:53.place where there are more votes than people. A year ago, the local

:20:54. > :20:57.mayor and arms to the islanders wanted to help and received refugees

:20:58. > :21:02.looking for a new life, bucking the trend of the other islands keener to

:21:03. > :21:06.see migrants leave. It's a small but significant show of faith for this

:21:07. > :21:11.tiny island, 50 refugees selected from around Greece who are prepared

:21:12. > :21:14.to work, prepared to integrate and it's mainly families and in exchange

:21:15. > :21:25.they'll get somewhere to stay and residency here. Meet Kusey, the new

:21:26. > :21:32.Baker of Tilos, he escaped from Syria and originally wanted to go to

:21:33. > :21:40.Germany. When I arrived in Tilos my life changed. My wife and my

:21:41. > :21:46.children are lapsed, my children go to school and the people here are

:21:47. > :21:51.very nice, very beautiful. One hotel has taken on three refugees, two as

:21:53. > :22:03.buying a house here. In the Tilos refugee centre, the

:22:04. > :22:12.children have been learning Greek songs. They're singing Blow Wind

:22:13. > :22:16.Blow, take us to distant places. The key to the Tilos plan being a

:22:17. > :22:19.success is how the younger generation of refugees settle here

:22:20. > :22:21.and whether they continue to feel welcome and part of the community

:22:22. > :22:29.over the years to come. The thing that's extraordinary here

:22:30. > :22:32.is how quickly in six months some of the refugees have settled and the

:22:33. > :22:36.dreams they talk about. One says he is desperate to buy a house and

:22:37. > :22:41.start a family here and another said she wants to start a Syrian Greek

:22:42. > :22:46.restaurant, the first on the island, and call it the King Falafel. So

:22:47. > :22:52.it's quite outstanding in one sense. How can it work on a bigger scale?

:22:53. > :22:58.Is it exclusive to this island? I just wonder, given the reluctance of

:22:59. > :23:01.some people on other islands, given how many more people, tens of

:23:02. > :23:08.thousands, are on the other islands, how that will work on a bigger scale

:23:09. > :23:13.than this? What Solidarity Now try to do is establish the wanna model

:23:14. > :23:19.to see how it works in a small-scale society like this island so we try

:23:20. > :23:25.to see how a new incoming population with a different social and cultural

:23:26. > :23:29.background can be a boost factor for the sustainable development of local

:23:30. > :23:34.society. This model can be duplicated in a bigger scale in

:23:35. > :23:39.other islands, of course it depends on the needs and special profiles.

:23:40. > :23:43.What is important to see here is we see not only locals coming again

:23:44. > :23:47.returning to Tilos and finding and opening small businesses but we see

:23:48. > :23:52.refugees working together and interacting together and the bigger

:23:53. > :23:56.vision and the bigger dream is to create what we are trying to do and

:23:57. > :24:02.facilitate, social enterprise, bringing together locals and the

:24:03. > :24:06.whole Syrian community to work together. One of the things you

:24:07. > :24:10.mention was you wanted to take this further, within this enterprise you

:24:11. > :24:14.want to use the goats, there are 10,000 goats and 800 people, Greeks

:24:15. > :24:21.and Syrian rebel Yuji is good start up a dairy farm? Exactly. --

:24:22. > :24:25.refugees. Here there's a tradition of dairy products that has been

:24:26. > :24:30.stopped for quite a while, so what we're trying to do is enhance and

:24:31. > :24:36.encourage this new business on the island so it would be I would say

:24:37. > :24:41.not ambitious but it can be very easily a reality for locals and

:24:42. > :24:46.refugees. This will also help them integrate and coexist. Sophie from

:24:47. > :24:51.SolidarityNow, thanks for talking to me. The one striking thing is with

:24:52. > :24:55.this ambition, it's a small scale, but aid workers are working not just

:24:56. > :24:59.on the islands and the mainland smaller villages to work out if 50

:25:00. > :25:04.or 100 Brit refugees can be an option elsewhere. Gavin Lee on the

:30:36. > :30:38.treatment. Doctors say the therapy is not likely to work and his

:30:39. > :30:40.life-support system should turned off. Here is more from Sophie

:30:41. > :30:46.Hutchinson. Charlie guard has been in intensive

:30:47. > :30:49.care at Great Ormond Street Hospital He has an extremely

:30:50. > :30:52.rare genetic condition. It's left him severely brain-damaged

:30:53. > :30:55.and unable to breathe Ever since his birth 11 months ago,

:30:56. > :31:03.there have been numerous legal battles escalated to the highest

:31:04. > :31:10.level in the UK and Europe. All the courts have agreed

:31:11. > :31:14.that the baby is so ill he must be allowed to die, but his parents have

:31:15. > :31:17.persuaded the original judge they should be able

:31:18. > :31:20.to give what they say is new scientific evidence today

:31:21. > :31:22.suggesting experimental treatment My understanding is they have got

:31:23. > :31:30.letters from up to seven doctors and scientists demonstrating

:31:31. > :31:33.there is up to a 10% chance of this And they would know

:31:34. > :31:38.in a period of 2-8 weeks whether or not baby

:31:39. > :31:44.Charlie is improving. And the treatment is non-invasive

:31:45. > :31:54.it is not in operation. It is just a food

:31:55. > :31:56.additive into his food. His parents have

:31:57. > :31:58.received offers of help from the Vatican and

:31:59. > :32:00.the United States. But the judge, Judge Francis,

:32:01. > :32:03.has said any new evidence must given swiftly over concerns

:32:04. > :32:05.of prolonging the suffering Applications for university courses

:32:06. > :32:10.in the UK starting this autumn have fallen, with vice-chancellors saying

:32:11. > :32:13.students may have been put off by increases in tuition fees

:32:14. > :32:17.and uncertainty over Brexit. Applications are down by 4%

:32:18. > :32:19.among British students, and 5% for students from elsewhere

:32:20. > :32:24.in the European Union. Wills recorded on voice mail or text

:32:31. > :32:34.in updating the Victorian law, unchanged since 1839,

:32:35. > :32:36.and could pave the way for the introduction

:32:53. > :32:56.Bastille Day at the invitation of the French President,

:32:57. > :33:04.Emmanuel Macron. We all know how frustrating it can

:33:05. > :33:08.be when you're on the train and the aisles are

:33:09. > :33:10.blocked with luggage. But two passengers in Australia have

:33:11. > :33:13.taken this to the next level. Do you know that feeling? It is

:33:14. > :33:20.usually my luggage. Queensland Rail has released footage

:33:21. > :33:25.of a man attempting to take a fridge He managed, with some difficulty,

:33:26. > :33:28.to get into the station lift and onto the carriage,

:33:29. > :33:31.before staff saw him and took him Well, another passenger was more

:33:32. > :33:52.successful when he took I am surprised, actually. I don't

:33:53. > :33:55.know how that is easier to move than a fridge.

:33:56. > :33:59.The rail company issued a plea to passengers not to use its trains

:34:00. > :34:01.to move house, suggesting they hire a removal company instead.

:34:02. > :34:10.He was able to take it onto the train, the sofa. Using a shopping

:34:11. > :34:13.trolley. Your thoughts are more than welcome. That is when you have to

:34:14. > :34:24.decide if paying more is worth it. A beautiful morning. I hope that

:34:25. > :34:31.translates into great tennis as well today. Sally is at Wimbledon. Good

:34:32. > :34:36.morning. Good morning. You are right. It is a beautiful, beautiful

:34:37. > :34:43.morning. I wonder if Johanna Konta is awake yet. I hope not, I hope she

:34:44. > :34:46.is resting. There have been many statistics about records being

:34:47. > :34:52.broken and history being made. Today, the first woman from Britain

:34:53. > :34:59.in the semifinals in 40 years. The last was Virginia Wade in 1978. We

:35:00. > :35:00.hope she can go some way to emulating those achievements from

:35:01. > :35:04.four decades ago. After beating the second seed

:35:05. > :35:06.Simona Halep on Tuesday, the five-time Wimbledon champion,

:35:07. > :35:08.Venus Williams, now stands The pair are second on Centre Court

:35:09. > :35:23.today and Konta knows the home It makes it more special because it

:35:24. > :35:29.is home. I do get that home support which I don't get anywhere else. So,

:35:30. > :35:36.in that sense, it makes it, I guess it makes it that much sweeter.

:35:37. > :35:43.We will be hoping for a little bit of better luck for Johanna Konta fan

:35:44. > :35:57.Andy Murray. -- than. His second reign as Wimbledon

:35:58. > :35:59.champion is over. The world number one was expected

:36:00. > :36:02.to beat Sam Querrey in yesterday's quarter-final on Centre Court,

:36:03. > :36:05.but was beaten in a topsy-turvy Murray looked to be struggling

:36:06. > :36:08.with the hip injury that's affected him for several weeks,

:36:09. > :36:11.as Querrey played the match The American came from two sets

:36:12. > :36:20.to one down and is through to his Look, I was obviously in good enough

:36:21. > :36:28.shape to give myself a chance. I almost managed to get through the

:36:29. > :36:30.day. Any slam, I would have taken that compared to how I felt a few

:36:31. > :36:33.weeks ago and how I started. Also hampered by injury

:36:34. > :36:36.was the second seed, His Wimbledon ended with a whimper,

:36:37. > :36:39.he was forced to retire with an elbow injury

:36:40. > :36:41.against Thomas Berdych. The two-time champion said he'd been

:36:42. > :36:44.struggling with the problem for over a year but yesterday

:36:45. > :36:58.was his worst day. It means Berdych will play the seven

:36:59. > :37:01.time Wimbledon champion And with Murray, Djokovic and Nadal

:37:02. > :37:05.all now out of the tournament, Federer is the favourite to win

:37:06. > :37:08.the title this year. He looked impressive in beating last

:37:09. > :37:10.year's finallist Milos Raonic The final of the four names

:37:11. > :37:14.to contest the men's semi finals is Marin Cilic, who'll face Murray's

:37:15. > :37:17.conqueror Sam Querrey. Former US Open champion Cilic came

:37:18. > :37:20.through a five-set epic against Gilles Muller

:37:21. > :37:21.over on Court One. And we still have British

:37:22. > :37:24.interest in the doubles. Heather Watson and partner,

:37:25. > :37:26.Henri Kontinen, continued the defence of their

:37:27. > :37:28.mixed doubles title. They're through to the quarter

:37:29. > :37:30.finals after victory over fourth And the Wheelchair Event gets under

:37:31. > :37:43.way here at the All England Club today, with defending men's champion

:37:44. > :37:46.Britain's Gordon Reid facing Stefan England's cricketers

:37:47. > :37:47.have secured their place in the semi-finals of

:37:48. > :37:50.the Women's World Cup. They beat New Zealand by 75

:37:51. > :37:52.runs yesterday in Derby, They've qualified with a game

:37:53. > :37:57.to spare, that's against Germany's Marcel Kittel

:37:58. > :38:04.won his fifth stage on this year's Tour de France with

:38:05. > :38:07.victory in Stage 11. Chris Froome retains the leaders

:38:08. > :38:10.yellow jersey and will be looking to defend his 18-second overall

:38:11. > :38:12.lead as the race heads And Rory Mcilroy insists he's

:38:13. > :38:18.in positive mood ahead of the Scottish Open which begins

:38:19. > :38:21.this morning in Dundonald. The world number four has yet to win

:38:22. > :38:25.a tournament in a year that's been disrupted by injury,

:38:26. > :38:30.erratic form, and new clubs. Now, one of the things

:38:31. > :38:32.we love about Andy Murray, and we've got to say, his mum, Judy,

:38:33. > :38:36.must take some credit for this, And we saw another example yesterday

:38:37. > :38:41.in his post match press conference when he corrected an American

:38:42. > :38:55.reporter on their statistics. Sam Querrey is the first US player

:38:56. > :39:10.to reach a major US final since 2009... Male player. I beg your

:39:11. > :39:12.pardon? Male player. Yes, male player, for sure.

:39:13. > :39:23.Is in doubt brilliant? The venous sisters have done well as well. --

:39:24. > :39:28.isn't that brilliant? -- Venus. Live coverage starts at 12:15pm

:39:29. > :39:40.on BBC One and from 12:30pm Don't forget, Johanna Konta is

:39:41. > :39:46.second on the court today. I love Andy Murray's comments on that. He

:39:47. > :39:52.was not impressed at all. And it is not the first time he has done that.

:39:53. > :39:53.Not at all. He was brought up by a good woman, I think.

:39:54. > :39:56.Let's return to the story of the terminally ill baby,

:39:57. > :39:59.Charlie Gard, whose parents are trying to convince a High Court

:40:00. > :40:01.judge that he should be allowed to travel

:40:02. > :40:07.Let's talk to Ranan Gillon, a Professor of Medical Ethics

:40:08. > :40:17.A very good morning to you. Thank you for your time this morning. It

:40:18. > :40:26.is a very emotional issue. Everyone has the right opinions. I just want,

:40:27. > :40:33.given your professional expertise, what do you make of the situation?

:40:34. > :40:39.First, I have to say I am speaking personally, not on behalf of any

:40:40. > :40:48.organisation. It is a moral dilemma, several, actually. The real issue as

:40:49. > :40:51.I see it, is, is there sufficient harm to the baby to prevent it being

:40:52. > :40:56.kept alive, that is the first question? I personally feel the

:40:57. > :41:07.answer is no. Secondly, what about its best interests? Who should

:41:08. > :41:13.decide? In my opinion, best interests are differing ideas. One

:41:14. > :41:18.of the things that does not apply is just as in the sense of distribution

:41:19. > :41:29.of scarce resources. They have crowd-funding. No one will be harmed

:41:30. > :41:37.using these resources. A couple of things. Clearly, we are unqualified

:41:38. > :41:42.and unable to comment on the medical side of the story. That is for

:41:43. > :41:47.doctors to talk about. On the ethics of the decision-making process, is

:41:48. > :41:54.at your decision it should never be a court that decides in these

:41:55. > :41:58.circumstances? Of course not. If it is of substantial harm, child abuse,

:41:59. > :42:06.as you might call it, the courts should forbid it. For example,

:42:07. > :42:11.Jehovah's Witnesses' parents sometimes say my child must not be

:42:12. > :42:18.given a blood transfusion. I would expect they should get treatment

:42:19. > :42:22.that is life-saving. I would say that is of substantial harm to the

:42:23. > :42:28.child and should not and is not allowed. Suppose the parents decided

:42:29. > :42:34.they wanted to treat the child by beating it in order to beat out some

:42:35. > :42:38.horrible devil in them. That should not be allowed either. But the

:42:39. > :42:44.treatment here is routine treatment of ventilation and artificial

:42:45. > :42:48.nutrition and hydration and nursing care which is all over the country

:42:49. > :42:52.every day being carried out in order to benefit the child. Now, the

:42:53. > :43:02.question is, who decides what counts as benefit? Now, some religious

:43:03. > :43:05.people will say it is a benefit just to stay alive. The Pope and many

:43:06. > :43:10.Roman Catholics and Orthodox Jews would take that position. I don't

:43:11. > :43:15.think the law should say to them, no, you cannot keep this child

:43:16. > :43:22.alive. In this case, as I understand it, the parents are not pro life in

:43:23. > :43:28.that sense. What they want to do is try very untested experimental

:43:29. > :43:31.treatments that they have read about, they have done a lot of

:43:32. > :43:35.research and have found this treatment available in the United

:43:36. > :43:41.States that might benefit the child. They want to give it a chance. And I

:43:42. > :43:48.think they ought to be able to do that. But the doctors are saying

:43:49. > :43:54.this is so unlikely to benefit them we should not even do minimal sorts

:43:55. > :43:59.of harm to the child by actually keeping it alive. And that is where

:44:00. > :44:05.the dilemma is resting. Thank you for your time this morning. A

:44:06. > :44:14.professor of medical ethics. The time is 60 minutes to seven. -- 16.

:44:15. > :44:18.The main stories. The government will convert European laws to

:44:19. > :44:22.British legislation through a bill today. Lawyers for presenting the

:44:23. > :44:26.parents of terminally ill Charlie Gard are back in the High Court

:44:27. > :44:27.today to give evidence that experimental treatment could help

:44:28. > :44:35.him. We have been talking to Sally at

:44:36. > :44:40.Wimbledon this morning. A glorious morning. Carol is there as well to

:44:41. > :44:46.tell us about the weather. Good morning. Good morning. It is a

:44:47. > :44:50.glorious start to the day at Wimbledon. Yesterday there was a

:44:51. > :44:56.keen northerly breeze. That has faded. The sky is blue. Some cloud

:44:57. > :45:01.is spoiling the view. Behind that, covers are still on. They will be

:45:02. > :45:06.off today a lot. It is a dry forecast for Wimbledon. There is the

:45:07. > :45:11.chance of a shower. But if we catch one, we will be unlucky. Cloud will

:45:12. > :45:19.build a bit more. Sunny intervals. Temperatures getting up to perhaps

:45:20. > :45:23.20 to. Light breezes. If you are a spectator, it will feel pleasant.

:45:24. > :45:29.Dry for most of us. Some showers and the forecast. The south of England.

:45:30. > :45:34.Cloud. Sunshine. Temperatures picking up nicely in the sunshine.

:45:35. > :45:38.The Midlands, central and southern England, a little bit more cloud. It

:45:39. > :45:41.will break up through the morning. The odd showers. Northern England,

:45:42. > :45:50.Scotland, Northern Ireland, clear skies and a chilly started.

:45:51. > :45:56.Temperatures in sheltered, 3-4. Wales, dry. Thick cloud brings

:45:57. > :46:01.showers. The exception rather than the rule. The same set of south-west

:46:02. > :46:05.England. Showers in Gloucestershire and Wiltshire, but they should tends

:46:06. > :46:11.to fade as well. Further east, the Home Counties, again, dry weather

:46:12. > :46:14.and cloud around as well. Through the day, that cloud breaks up in

:46:15. > :46:18.central and southern England and the Midlands. We will see more cloud

:46:19. > :46:23.developing as we go through the afternoon. Not spoiling it. Sunny

:46:24. > :46:28.intervals around. Most of us will stay dry. The risk of showers in

:46:29. > :46:32.England, Wales, the eastern parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland. But

:46:33. > :46:39.they are hit and miss. Rain coming in through the rest of Ireland and

:46:40. > :46:43.Scotland. Temperatures at best up to 22- 23. The evening and overnight, a

:46:44. > :46:48.weather front reducing the rain in Scotland and Northern Ireland goes

:46:49. > :46:53.south, tending to weaken as it goes towards the south-east. --

:46:54. > :47:01.producing. Not call that night. 11- 15, double figures. Tomorrow, a

:47:02. > :47:05.similar story to today in that there will be sunny spells around. Also

:47:06. > :47:11.some showers developing. Most of us will mist them. Temperatures rising.

:47:12. > :47:15.The end of the day, the next weather front coming in through the west of

:47:16. > :47:20.Scotland and Ireland. Overnight, Friday into Saturday, sweeping

:47:21. > :47:23.south. We will not see much rain from it at all in the south. That

:47:24. > :47:31.takes us into Saturday. Cloud around. Sunny spells. Showers as

:47:32. > :47:35.well. You will notice it feels more humid in the south as temperatures

:47:36. > :47:37.start to climb. If you are coming to Wimbledon for the finals this

:47:38. > :47:46.weekend, temperature-wise, we are looking at mid to high 20s. If you

:47:47. > :47:48.finding a fresh at the moment, it will get warmer for some, not all of

:47:49. > :47:57.us. Some will be happy and someone be,

:47:58. > :48:00.but that's just weather, isn't it? Welcome to my world! Thanks very

:48:01. > :48:01.much, see you soon! Two years ago the rules

:48:02. > :48:04.around pensions changed, giving millions of people

:48:05. > :48:06.more choice about how But are they getting

:48:07. > :48:10.the right help and advice? Good morning. Good morning, good

:48:11. > :48:21.morning, everyone. That's right, the financial

:48:22. > :48:24.regulator has been taking a look at what choices people were making

:48:25. > :48:27.with their new pension freedoms. It's found that getting hold

:48:28. > :48:29.of pension pots early, known as drawdown, has

:48:30. > :48:31.become the new norm. But more and more people are doing

:48:32. > :48:35.so without taking financial advice. About a third of consumers now

:48:36. > :48:37.drawdown without getting guidance, that's compared to just

:48:38. > :48:40.5% before the changes. And when people do access

:48:41. > :48:42.their pensions early, most are sticking with their current

:48:43. > :48:45.provider, rather than shopping around, so might be missing

:48:46. > :48:54.out on the best deals. The regulator also found that more

:48:55. > :48:57.than half of those people don't spend the money, but put it

:48:58. > :49:00.into another savings product That means they may be paying more

:49:01. > :49:09.tax than they need to. Let's speak to the man

:49:10. > :49:11.who was Pensions Minister when the new pensions

:49:12. > :49:13.freedoms were introduced, Sir Steve Webb, who is now Director

:49:14. > :49:26.of Policy at Royal London. Welcome to the programme and thanks

:49:27. > :49:29.for joining us. That statistic, almost a third of people getting

:49:30. > :49:33.hold of their pensions money without advice, that wasn't the plan, was

:49:34. > :49:38.it? We need more people to take advice and guidance, the good news

:49:39. > :49:42.is bigger pots, people with serious amounts, are more likely to take

:49:43. > :49:46.advice and that's a good thing but we need to bring that down because

:49:47. > :49:49.we pay an estate agent and an accountant and a solicitor, we are

:49:50. > :49:53.used to paying professionals who are experts to help and when it's your

:49:54. > :49:58.life savings the added value is significant. Financial advice is

:49:59. > :50:02.expensive, though? It looks like a big figure in isolation but it's it

:50:03. > :50:06.-- if it's the amount you save in your life, hundreds of thousands of

:50:07. > :50:10.pounds, an expert can be money well spent. We haven't seen people

:50:11. > :50:14.blowing all their savings, on a Lamborghini or a round the world

:50:15. > :50:19.cruise, but maybe they're not getting as much tax benefit as they

:50:20. > :50:23.could? The risk isn't the riotous living some people talked about,

:50:24. > :50:26.it's the opposite, people who think somehow they have to take their

:50:27. > :50:30.money out of their pension because their ageing, don't know what to do

:50:31. > :50:35.with it and they either put it in a bank account or a cash ISA, earning

:50:36. > :50:39.no interest, inflation eats away at the value of their savings and if

:50:40. > :50:44.people do that for years it will be a real worry. Saying to people leave

:50:45. > :50:48.your money in deposit in cash, good for a rainyday but in the long run

:50:49. > :50:51.not a good idea. The regulator said in this report they are worried

:50:52. > :50:55.there's not enough competition in the industry, shouldn't you have set

:50:56. > :50:59.up a system that made sure people got the best deal if they drew down

:51:00. > :51:06.their pension? The key thing is around and people aren't talking to

:51:07. > :51:09.an adviser, if they can't afford it, then there's pension wise from the

:51:10. > :51:14.government, millions of people have gone to the website that tell them

:51:15. > :51:18.their pension choices, but that needs another push, they have

:51:19. > :51:21.choices and they don't need to stay with one company all their lives. An

:51:22. > :51:28.interesting case yesterday at the Supreme Court, they ruled same-sex

:51:29. > :51:31.married couples should have the same pensions rights as heterosexual

:51:32. > :51:36.married couples. How significant is that case? It's a breakthrough for

:51:37. > :51:39.equality and it could have other effects because there are other

:51:40. > :51:44.groups, with was compared to widows who might get smaller pensions and

:51:45. > :51:48.you could see more cases -- widowers. If people are being

:51:49. > :51:53.treated evenly in pensions that would be a good thing. Thanks for

:51:54. > :51:56.joining us, Sir Steve Webb the former Pensions Minister, thanks for

:51:57. > :52:00.talking us through that one to get our heads around that idea of

:52:01. > :52:02.drawing down your pension is a little bit early. It's tricky, isn't

:52:03. > :52:04.it? It's all change at London's

:52:05. > :52:09.Natural History Museum, its world famous central display,

:52:10. > :52:12.Dippy the Dinosaur, has gone, and its replacement

:52:13. > :52:20.is being unveiled today. I feel like a part of my childhood

:52:21. > :52:25.is going? Really? I remember always seeing Dippy and that was it, that's

:52:26. > :52:28.what you saw at the national history museum but there's something else

:52:29. > :52:35.coming, I wonder what's happening to Dippy. Is this hope, Tim?

:52:36. > :52:43.Good morning. This is indeed hope, 25 metres long, since 1979 Dippy

:52:44. > :52:48.took pride in place -- pride of place at the entrance hall to the

:52:49. > :52:53.national history museum, Dippy is going on a national tour and instead

:52:54. > :52:57.this magnificent skeleton, 25 metres long of a blue whale beached in

:52:58. > :53:02.1891, it is taking pride of place here. Lorraine Cornet is here, head

:53:03. > :53:08.of conservation, and we have the principal curator of mammals. The

:53:09. > :53:15.rain, how does it look -- Cornish? It is great, doesn't it look

:53:16. > :53:19.beautiful? -- Lorraine. She will the great and we are pleased it is up

:53:20. > :53:25.and she will look great for everyone. Higuain the change? She is

:53:26. > :53:33.a real specimen, she can calibrate stories -- why the change? She can

:53:34. > :53:37.tell us about our role in nature -- she can tell great stories. We want

:53:38. > :53:41.people to engage with her. You are the principal curator for mammals,

:53:42. > :53:46.Richard, talk to us about the blue whale, why is the blue whale so

:53:47. > :53:49.fascinating? Fascinating for a number of different reasons, it's

:53:50. > :53:53.the largest animal ever known to have lived on the planet.

:53:54. > :53:58.Evolutionarily speaking, it's an incredible story, 50 years ago -- 50

:53:59. > :54:02.million years ago the ancestors were living on land and 40 million years

:54:03. > :54:06.ago they moved back into the ocean so a wonderful model for the study

:54:07. > :54:10.of evolution and a great model for the hope for the future, something

:54:11. > :54:14.that we as a species decided to do in the 1960s, we got together

:54:15. > :54:18.internationally and brought in a ban on commercial whaling for blue

:54:19. > :54:22.whales because we knew the species was going towards extinction and

:54:23. > :54:27.here we are 50 years later in a position where the animals are

:54:28. > :54:31.recovering. Hence the name Hope, a symbol for humanity's power to shape

:54:32. > :54:35.a sustainable future. The logistics of moving a skeleton of this size,

:54:36. > :54:40.it's been in the possession of the museum for some time, how did you

:54:41. > :54:45.move it? It's taken 3.5 years and she was on display in our mammal

:54:46. > :54:51.Paul, so four tons, several months to bring her down and then to

:54:52. > :54:56.conserve her -- mammal Hall. Then three weeks to put her in place. It

:54:57. > :55:02.took a long time and a huge team of experts but we're really pleased.

:55:03. > :55:06.I've been saying she, it is a chic? It was. A post-mortem examination

:55:07. > :55:11.took place in 1891 that confirmed the sex and ongoing research is due

:55:12. > :55:17.to be published in the next two to three months that will further

:55:18. > :55:22.confirm the gender -- is it a she. Magnificent sight, we will talk to

:55:23. > :55:31.you later. If you want to know more about that story and you can

:55:32. > :55:36.choosing -- if you want to know more about the story you can tune into

:55:37. > :55:41.Horizon on BBC Two. It was beached in 1891 in Wexford in Ireland and

:55:42. > :55:45.now taking pride of place in the Natural History Museum. Tim, I was

:55:46. > :55:52.saying a bit of my childhood was changed because I remember the awe,

:55:53. > :55:55.it was so or inspiring, is this as impressive, it's difficult to see

:55:56. > :56:03.from this angle because you're not singing the angle length? It's very

:56:04. > :56:09.oppressive, 25 metres long, you get a real sense of the scale -- you're

:56:10. > :56:13.not seeing the length. It's as impressive as Dippy. The fact this

:56:14. > :56:17.was an actual skeleton makes a bit of a difference because Dippy was a

:56:18. > :56:22.plaster cast, this is a creature that lived more than 100 years ago

:56:23. > :56:26.and I'm sure will be wowing many visitors. And create many more

:56:27. > :59:45.childhood memories for many more children.

:59:46. > :00:15.This is Breakfast, with Naga Munchetty and Charlie

:00:16. > :00:19.The first step to Brexit becoming law.

:00:20. > :00:21.The bill to convert EU law into British legislation

:01:13. > :01:19.The adverts we see on TV and increasingly on line are part

:01:20. > :01:21.of a growing multi-billion pound industry for the UK.

:01:22. > :01:24.As part of a new series, I'll be talking to the woman

:01:25. > :01:27.in charge of the biggest advertising agency in the UK.

:01:28. > :01:31.We're live on the tiny Greek island of Tilos where they're trying out

:01:32. > :01:36.a new way of welcoming refugees into the community.

:01:37. > :01:45.And we have the weather. Good morning. This is Wimbledon. The sun

:01:46. > :01:53.is shining and it is not as cold as yesterday. It should be dry. Perhaps

:01:54. > :01:56.a shower. The UK as a whole will be mostly dry, sunny spells, some cloud

:01:57. > :02:04.through the day, and well scattered showers. Rainy in the west later.

:02:05. > :02:10.Sally and I will be back with the weather later. Thank you.

:02:11. > :02:18.The government will today publish a long-awaited bill that

:02:19. > :02:20.will convert European Union laws into British legislation.

:02:21. > :02:22.It's been referred to as the Repeal Bill,

:02:23. > :02:25.but its official title is the European Union Withdrawal

:02:26. > :02:28.Its purpose is to replace EU law with UK legislation and smooth

:02:29. > :02:32.The Brexit Secretary David Davis has described it as a "major milestone."

:02:33. > :02:34.However, political opponents have threatened to disrupt

:02:35. > :02:37.Our political correspondent, Ben Wright, is in Westminster.

:02:38. > :02:44.Good morning. In mourning. It is worth reminding people the

:02:45. > :02:50.significance of this transfer of laws. Take us through that. Good

:02:51. > :02:58.morning. It is a hugely important piece of legislation. On the face of

:02:59. > :03:03.it, it is simple, repealing the 1972 European Communities Act, ending

:03:04. > :03:09.European law in the UK from the day we actually leave the EU, which

:03:10. > :03:17.people think will be in March, 2019. It transfers the EU laws to be UK

:03:18. > :03:22.Statute Book. If that did not happen, they would be chaos when we

:03:23. > :03:28.leave the EU. It has to do all of that and decide how it will all be

:03:29. > :03:33.regulated in the future. From the pharmaceutical industry to

:03:34. > :03:37.environmental law, all of it. The government does not have a majority

:03:38. > :03:42.in the House of Commons any more. The Lib Dems and Labour have made it

:03:43. > :03:45.quite clear they will fight the government hard on many aspects of

:03:46. > :03:50.this legislation and cause difficulty. It could be a huge

:03:51. > :03:56.parliamentary battle. It is a really crucial piece of legislation, as I

:03:57. > :03:59.said. On the face of it, it is confusing, because both major

:04:00. > :04:07.parties, for example, are signed up to exert. Why fight about something

:04:08. > :04:10.that has to happen? -- Brexit. . They are looking for reassurance and

:04:11. > :04:17.clarity over many areas. Labour says there needs to be further guarantees

:04:18. > :04:24.over protections for workers. At the moment, workers because rights are

:04:25. > :04:28.enshrined in EU law. The government says they will protect that. They

:04:29. > :04:33.are also looking at executive powers that ministers want to claim over

:04:34. > :04:37.the next few months to get all this through in time. Labour is saying

:04:38. > :04:42.those powers need to be restricted. Labour say they are prepared to vote

:04:43. > :04:50.down this ill unless they get reassurances. -- bill. They have

:04:51. > :04:52.been clear about that. Thank you. We will leave it there for the moment.

:04:53. > :04:55.After 7:30 this morning, we'll talk to the Brexit Minister,

:04:56. > :04:58.The parents of Charlie guard will return to the High Court

:05:22. > :05:24.It's left him severely brain-damaged and unable to breathe

:05:25. > :05:33.Ever since his birth 11 months ago, there have been numerous legal

:05:34. > :05:36.battles escalated to the highest level in the UK and Europe.

:05:37. > :05:40.All the courts have agreed that the baby is so ill he must be

:05:41. > :05:46.allowed to die, but his parents have persuaded the original judge

:05:47. > :05:50.they should be permitted to present what they say is new scientific

:05:51. > :05:52.evidence today suggesting an experimental treatment

:05:53. > :05:59.My understanding is they've got letters from up to seven doctors

:06:00. > :06:03.and scientists and it demonstrates there is up to a 10% chance of this

:06:04. > :06:10.And they would know within a period of 2-8 weeks whether or not baby

:06:11. > :06:16.And the treatment is non-invasive, it's not an operation.

:06:17. > :06:20.It is actually a food additive into his food.

:06:21. > :06:23.Charlie's parents have received offers of help from the Vatican

:06:24. > :06:36.But the judge, Mr Justice Francis, has made it clear any new evidence

:06:37. > :06:38.must be given swiftly due to concerns of prolonging

:07:08. > :07:10.He will commemorate the centenary of America's entry

:07:11. > :07:14.Let's talk to our Paris correspondent Hugh Schofield.

:07:15. > :07:18.Good morning. Of course, it might be the anniversary of America's

:07:19. > :07:23.involvement in the war, but France is still under high security levels

:07:24. > :07:29.and very mindful that a year tomorrow it was under attack.

:07:30. > :07:33.Absolutely. Tomorrow it will have been a year since the attack in

:07:34. > :07:37.Nice. There was talk about Donald Trump visiting, but it hasn't

:07:38. > :07:43.happened. Security will be top of the agenda. One of the issues on

:07:44. > :07:48.which the two men see eye to eye, because of course there is a lot

:07:49. > :07:55.they don't, the determined effort on both administrations to emphasise

:07:56. > :08:02.the positive, despite climate, despite differences on protectionism

:08:03. > :08:05.and trade and so on, they have things close together, security, the

:08:06. > :08:11.fight in the Middle East and Africa. Does will be the big issues of

:08:12. > :08:17.discussion. Outside the museum complex is where he will be going

:08:18. > :08:23.first. He will be going for an hour to go to the embassy. Then he will

:08:24. > :08:31.be back here at lunchtime, or shortly after. A meeting in the

:08:32. > :08:38.afternoon with Emmanuel Macron. And then dinner at the Eiffel Tower.

:08:39. > :08:43.Yes. Talking about President Trump's visit to France later today.

:09:01. > :09:03.acknowledged the two countries had not always seen "eye to eye."

:09:04. > :09:04.Yesterday, we were talking about 15-year-old, Eddie,

:09:05. > :09:07.who took over Southern Rail's Twitter account as part

:09:08. > :09:10.Complaints about cancellations and late trains seemed to be

:09:11. > :09:14.forgotten, and followers even used the hashtag "Ask Eddie" to quiz him

:09:15. > :09:16.about duck-sized horses and how to make tea.

:09:17. > :09:19.Eddie was such a hit, that Southern Rail invited him back

:09:20. > :09:49.It was mainly a collective decision I would have a go on the Twitter. It

:09:50. > :09:54.has been absolutely amazing, such an experience, which I will have with

:09:55. > :09:58.me for the rest of my life. Not many people are that happy after work

:09:59. > :10:00.experience. And not many people have that much of an impact on their

:10:01. > :10:11.first day. It's a big day at Wimbledon today,

:10:12. > :10:14.Britain's on the verge of having its first woman in 40

:10:15. > :10:18.years to reach a final. But Johanna Konta must first

:10:19. > :10:20.overcome five-time champion Venus Williams, Sally's there,

:10:21. > :10:27.and you spent time with Johanna The scale of this task is immense.

:10:28. > :10:31.It is really difficult to know how to put it into words. Did you watch

:10:32. > :10:35.Venus Williams play the other day she is brilliant. She has been here

:10:36. > :10:39.many times before and she knows the score. And of course, Johanna Konta

:10:40. > :10:44.is approaching it in a different way, carrying the hopes of a nation

:10:45. > :10:50.into this final. She is the first British woman in 40 years to get

:10:51. > :10:56.this far, since Virginia Wade in 1978. Yeah, there is the tiny

:10:57. > :11:02.problem of Venus Williams and a final still to play. We are learning

:11:03. > :11:07.more about Johanna Konta. You may not have heard about her previously.

:11:08. > :11:13.She keeps her private life very, very Reidford. If you want to know

:11:14. > :11:16.more, we have had a talk with her. -- private. We met with her in

:11:17. > :11:27.training. It is nice to see you. Welcome to my

:11:28. > :11:31.home from home. For many years, there are dormitories behind there,

:11:32. > :11:42.I used to literally live there. ? Used to live here? Yes. Children,

:11:43. > :11:48.that is how you get good. I used to get up at the crack of dawn to go

:11:49. > :11:54.running. He told me if I wanted to be the best, I needed the best time

:11:55. > :12:00.and I needed to put energy in it. I needed to go train. When my dad

:12:01. > :12:03.realised I was going to wake up at the crack of dawn every morning,

:12:04. > :12:11.initially, he was like, what have I done? I spent my formative years

:12:12. > :12:15.here. I grew up into a tennis player and the person I am today here. You

:12:16. > :12:20.said very clearly you want to be world number one. I do, I do, that

:12:21. > :12:24.has been my dream since I was a young girl to be it continues to be

:12:25. > :12:27.my dream and always will be so long as I play this sport. I want to be

:12:28. > :12:36.the best version of myself. She always wanted to be just the

:12:37. > :12:40.best version of herself. Someone who help her along the way, just a bit,

:12:41. > :12:41.is with me. And with me now is Justin Sherring,

:12:42. > :12:49.Johanna's first tennis coach She says she wants to be the best

:12:50. > :12:55.tennis player in the world, was she always like that? Yes, she was. She

:12:56. > :12:59.had a very obvious passion and enthusiasm, not just for tennis, but

:13:00. > :13:06.to be the best. I can definitely see that. How old was see when you were

:13:07. > :13:14.working with her? 19, just out of juniors. She was in 200- 300. Many

:13:15. > :13:19.players get lost at that stage. She did not. She fought to wear she is

:13:20. > :13:25.today. Could you tell at the time she would be that good? I teach

:13:26. > :13:28.players every day, for many years, and there was something different

:13:29. > :13:34.about her. She was very focused. Every single ball and session. Her

:13:35. > :13:38.game has changed over the last few years. It has changed a little bit.

:13:39. > :13:47.Her mental strength has improved enormously, hasn't it? Yes. We

:13:48. > :13:52.talked a lot about her becoming a warrior on the court, treating every

:13:53. > :13:57.ball like an opponent that needed to be beaten the big she can fight with

:13:58. > :14:03.the best of them. -- beaten. I love that idea. How do you make yourself

:14:04. > :14:11.a warrior on the tennis court? It is you against that yellow fuzzy thing.

:14:12. > :14:15.When she got the quarter-final, she was so cool and calm to be she did

:14:16. > :14:23.not especially celebrate. I know what she is doing. She is treating

:14:24. > :14:25.every game like any game. It might be a semi-final, quarter-final,

:14:26. > :14:30.Wimbledon, she is trying to keep that out of it. She will let all of

:14:31. > :14:37.us do the excitement. She is very good at staying in a bubble and

:14:38. > :14:41.staying focused. And I think that if she stays like that, then we have

:14:42. > :14:49.some more magic to look forward to. We will hope so. In the film I just

:14:50. > :14:52.saw, she was saying that for a long time she would sleep in a little,

:14:53. > :15:00.tiny bedroom next to the tennis courts in Roehampton where she

:15:01. > :15:07.learned tennis. What can you tell us about her youth? We used to play

:15:08. > :15:13.outside in the cold in the winter. One day it was minus eight degrees.

:15:14. > :15:17.The court was rockhard. She could only serve because I would not let

:15:18. > :15:24.her out on the courts too much. She was out there for two hours. She

:15:25. > :15:28.told me she had six layers on. It does not get much more dedicated

:15:29. > :15:36.than that. Have you had one of the Johanna Konta Marstons making the

:15:37. > :15:42.rounds? -- muffins. No, I am disappointed. Maybe you should have

:15:43. > :15:48.one live! Will see still be baking before a semi-final? May just to

:15:49. > :15:53.keep her mind off it. Thank you very much. She has been playing since 19.

:15:54. > :16:04.A beautiful date. Will it stay OK for the semifinals?

:16:05. > :16:08.It should, I'm hoping Justin will be baking for us before the end of the

:16:09. > :16:13.day, no mean task! It should stay dry, the outside chance of a shower,

:16:14. > :16:17.not as cold as yesterday this time, we've lost the northerly breeze and

:16:18. > :16:20.things set fair for much of the day and that's the forecast for

:16:21. > :16:23.Wimbledon but for everyone else, largely dry. A few showers around,

:16:24. > :16:29.and a lot of sunshine. In the day we will see rain in

:16:30. > :16:33.north-west Scotland and also the north-west of Northern Ireland. To

:16:34. > :16:37.put some detail on that this morning, dry in southern England to

:16:38. > :16:41.start, some sunshine and a bit of cloud but as we go into central and

:16:42. > :16:45.southern England and around the Midlands, the cloud is thick enough

:16:46. > :16:49.for the odd shower but that cloud will break up and we will see sunny

:16:50. > :16:53.spells developing. Into northern England, Scotland and Northern

:16:54. > :16:56.Ireland, a chilly start with clear spells overnight, temperatures

:16:57. > :17:00.falling as low as three or four. They will start to pick up readily

:17:01. > :17:04.in the morning sunshine and again, the risk of the odd shower through

:17:05. > :17:09.the day but for most it will stay dry for the large part of the day.

:17:10. > :17:12.In Wales, a lot of sunshine first thing and a nippy start but where

:17:13. > :17:17.we've got cloud in south Wales, thick enough for the odd shower and

:17:18. > :17:22.the same in south-west England. Unlucky depending on your point of

:17:23. > :17:25.view weather you see a shower but there's a chance, but in

:17:26. > :17:30.Gloucestershire and Wiltshire, showers but they will fade and in

:17:31. > :17:33.the Home Counties, similar to today, blue skies and cloud building.

:17:34. > :17:38.Through the course of the day a bit more cloud building but we will hang

:17:39. > :17:43.on to sunny intervals and although showers develop in parts of England,

:17:44. > :17:47.Wales, eastern Scotland and Northern Ireland, most will miss them and by

:17:48. > :17:50.the end of the afternoon our weather front in western Scotland and

:17:51. > :17:55.Northern Ireland will introduce some rain. Temperatures today up to 23.

:17:56. > :18:00.Through this evening and overnight, our weather front moves south-east,

:18:01. > :18:04.turning more showery as it does and by the time it gets into the south

:18:05. > :18:08.itself it will be a fairly weak affair. Overnight temperatures

:18:09. > :18:12.roughly around ten to 15, so not feeling as oppressive as it has in

:18:13. > :18:17.parts of the south-east of late. Then tomorrow, almost an action

:18:18. > :18:20.replay of today. A game some sunshine around, some cloud bubbling

:18:21. > :18:25.up as we go through the day. Some showers developing -- again. Then

:18:26. > :18:29.we're looking at another weather front later in the west, introducing

:18:30. > :18:34.more rain. If anything, temperatures picking up a degree or so tomorrow.

:18:35. > :18:39.That weather front in the west will move across the UK during Friday

:18:40. > :18:43.night into Saturday morning, by the time it reaches the south there

:18:44. > :18:46.won't be much rain left on it and on Saturday, more cloud around but we

:18:47. > :18:50.will still see sunny spells and there will also be a few showers.

:18:51. > :18:54.Temperature wise, becoming that this will get hotter and more humid in

:18:55. > :18:58.the south and that process will continue into the weekend. Naga and

:18:59. > :19:03.Charlie, if you remember last week I asked you how many tennis balls it

:19:04. > :19:09.would take to Phil Centre Court with the roof closed, it was 290 million.

:19:10. > :19:14.Today I need to ask you, how many golf umbrellas do you think would

:19:15. > :19:19.cover the same area as the roof does on Centre Court?

:19:20. > :19:36.360 degrees? 1800, it's 1800? You're both way out, 17,500. Opened up

:19:37. > :19:43.fully, golf umbrellas are big? But so is the roof, it is huge! I can't

:19:44. > :19:48.see it! This dispute will carry on. I can't see it, I am going to have

:19:49. > :19:55.to visualise this more. How many did you say, you said 1800? It would

:19:56. > :20:00.take 7500 Wimbledon umbrellas to cover the same area as the roof.

:20:01. > :20:06.Sofar Carol is winning this quiz. It is 2-0 so far. Next time we are

:20:07. > :20:08.going to ask you a question. We're going to ask someone bald and facts

:20:09. > :20:10.for you! In the last few minutes,

:20:11. > :20:13.the government has announced how much they're going to fine

:20:14. > :20:26.the parent company of Southern Rail. This has just come through, we were

:20:27. > :20:31.expecting a decision of some sort? -- fining. The government has put

:20:32. > :20:36.off this decision for some time but today it has announced they are

:20:37. > :20:41.finding the parent company ?13.4 million for all the disputes we've

:20:42. > :20:45.seen over the last year -- fining. It reached its peak last July and

:20:46. > :20:49.then we have had strikes on and off through the year since then.

:20:50. > :20:56.Interestingly the parent company made a profit of ?100 million just

:20:57. > :21:00.last year, so that puts that to a 13 -- that puts the ?30 million into

:21:01. > :21:05.context, no difficulty paying that, but certainly a slap on the wrist --

:21:06. > :21:10.?13 million. Why are they being find? They haven't delivered enough

:21:11. > :21:14.good quality passenger service so this money will have to be spent

:21:15. > :21:17.directly on improving passenger services, and because we've seen so

:21:18. > :21:21.many strikes over the last year, hundreds of thousands of commuters

:21:22. > :21:26.have been impacted and not able to get to work, huge queues, that's the

:21:27. > :21:32.reason, anyone on the south coast will have struggled with that over

:21:33. > :21:35.the past year and that's why the train company are being fined for

:21:36. > :21:40.not delivering that service. One more question, sorry, this figure,

:21:41. > :21:43.?13.4 million, you mentioned the profits, interesting the government

:21:44. > :21:47.said it could have been more but they have set a lot of this is down

:21:48. > :21:51.to strike action? To some extent the government are saying it's difficult

:21:52. > :21:55.when you're dealing with a union and it isn't necessarily the company's

:21:56. > :21:59.fault all the time but the fact they have been fined in the first place

:22:00. > :22:00.means the dispute could have been resolved sooner or quicker. Thanks

:22:01. > :22:03.very much. Dozens of migrants who'd made

:22:04. > :22:05.the perilous sea crossing from Turkey to Greece have been

:22:06. > :22:08.resettled on a Greek island in a trial that could be

:22:09. > :22:11.rolled out across the rest More than 10,000 are in refugee

:22:12. > :22:15.camps across Greece, But the island of Tilos has

:22:16. > :22:18.offered accommodation Our Europe reporter Gavin Lee

:22:19. > :22:35.is on Tilos for us this morning. A rather heartwarming story if the

:22:36. > :22:38.plan works, Gavin? Yeah, you can see it's a picture postcard island and

:22:39. > :22:42.the islanders are doing something that's not been done anywhere else

:22:43. > :22:47.on the Greek islands. We've seen these images of the past couple of

:22:48. > :22:51.years of all the people coming to Lesbos, Samos and Kos, but there are

:22:52. > :22:55.still 10,000 people in pretty basic and bleak conditions but here the

:22:56. > :22:59.officials saw it and the mayor of Tilos sort what was happening and

:23:00. > :23:06.they decided to embrace refugees, a small number, 50 migrants, they said

:23:07. > :23:11.come here, try and integrate, get jobs, we will give you accommodation

:23:12. > :23:15.and residents and I have been speaking to locals and refugees over

:23:16. > :23:17.the last few days to see how it works -- residency.

:23:18. > :23:19.Tilos island, ten miles from the Turkish coast,

:23:20. > :23:22.A place where there are more goats than people.

:23:23. > :23:25.A year ago, the local mayor announced the islanders wanted

:23:26. > :23:28.to help and received refugees looking for a new life,

:23:29. > :23:30.bucking the trend of the other islands keener

:23:31. > :23:36.It's a small but significant show of faith for this tiny island.

:23:37. > :23:39.50 refugees selected from around Greece who are prepared to work,

:23:40. > :23:42.who are prepared to integrate, and it's mainly families,

:23:51. > :24:01.When I arrived to Tilos all my life changed.

:24:02. > :24:05.My life and my wife is now relaxed and my children go to school

:24:06. > :24:08.and the people here I think are very nice, very beautiful.

:24:09. > :24:17.One hotel has taken on three refugees, two as housekeepers,

:24:18. > :24:23.including Mahar Baraka from Damascus, who talks of one day

:24:24. > :24:27.In the Tilos refugee centre, the children have been learning

:24:28. > :24:40.They're singing, "Blow, wind, blow, take us to distant places."

:24:41. > :24:43.The key to the Tilos plan being a success is how the younger

:24:44. > :24:46.generation of refugees settle here and whether they continue

:24:47. > :24:48.to feel welcome and part of the community over

:24:49. > :25:05.Gavin Lee reporting there from the island of Tilos, where the community

:25:06. > :25:09.is trying hard to integrate refugees and that experiment going on at the

:25:10. > :25:11.moment and it is hoped if it works it will be rolled out to other

:25:12. > :25:12.islands in Greece. Time now to get the news,

:25:13. > :28:30.travel and weather where you are. Plenty more on our website

:28:31. > :28:34.at the usual address. Now, though, it's back

:31:11. > :31:14.get there in 15 minutes. You saw him boarding the Air Force One. That is

:31:15. > :31:21.expected to touch down in Paris where he will begin a two-day

:31:22. > :31:36.meeting with a man or marking the US's entrance into World War I. --

:31:37. > :31:38.Emmanuel Macron. I like this story this morning. It has confused me a

:31:39. > :31:39.little bit. We all know how frustrating it can

:31:40. > :31:42.be when you're on the train and the aisles are

:31:43. > :31:44.blocked with luggage. Usually it is me who is blocking the

:31:45. > :31:48.aisles with stuff. But two passengers in Australia have

:31:49. > :31:52.taken this to the next level. Queensland Rail has released footage

:31:53. > :31:56.of a man attempting to take a fridge He managed, with some difficulty,

:31:57. > :32:00.to get into the station lift and onto the carriage,

:32:01. > :32:03.before staff saw him and took him It is quite comic how it is sped up

:32:04. > :32:14.like that. Well, another passenger was more

:32:15. > :32:32.successful when he took He has to flip it and flop it along.

:32:33. > :32:34.And he got it into the train. That is quite an achievement of those a

:32:35. > :32:35.little awkward for other passengers. The rail company issued a plea

:32:36. > :32:39.to passengers not to use its trains to move house, suggesting they hire

:32:40. > :32:48.a removal company instead. That is the rail company talking.

:32:49. > :32:57.Coming up later, we will have the weather from Wimbledon were Carol.

:32:58. > :33:07.Sally is there as well. Good morning. The covers are on. It looks

:33:08. > :33:13.like there are some exciting times ahead. Yes, it will be an exciting

:33:14. > :33:20.day. The covers are still on. I don't think they will be on much

:33:21. > :33:31.longer. Final preparations. The team is there to start working on the

:33:32. > :33:34.court. It looks glorious. The day ahead looks great, as Carol has been

:33:35. > :33:39.saying. All eyes are on Johanna Konta and the semi-final against

:33:40. > :33:44.Venus Williams. We had the disappointment of Andy Murray going

:33:45. > :33:50.out yesterday. All attention turns to Johanna Konta. She will not be

:33:51. > :33:55.paying attention to it. She will be calm and relaxed. Venus Williams is

:33:56. > :34:01.in her way today, the five-time Wimbledon champion. They are second

:34:02. > :34:04.on court today. Johanna Konta says she knows how important home support

:34:05. > :34:06.is. It makes it more special

:34:07. > :34:08.because it is home. I do get that home support

:34:09. > :34:12.which I don't get anywhere else. So, in that sense, it makes it,

:34:13. > :34:35.I guess it makes it And U2 have tweeted her saying good

:34:36. > :34:39.luck! Mick Jagger did the same thing, saying that she has gone

:34:40. > :34:47.further at a grand slam than he ever did. They are just coming out. The

:34:48. > :34:52.cover could come down soon. Johanna Konta is second on court. Andy

:34:53. > :34:57.Murray went out of the tournament yesterday. A big match against Sam

:34:58. > :35:01.Querrey. We thought he would win, but he was clearly injured,

:35:02. > :35:10.struggling with a hip injury. Sam Querrey simply played the match of

:35:11. > :35:13.his life. The American came from two sets to one down. He is through to

:35:14. > :35:15.his first of the Grand Slam semi-final.

:35:16. > :35:19.Look, I was obviously in good enough shape to give myself a chance.

:35:20. > :35:21.I almost managed to get through the day.

:35:22. > :35:25.Any slam, I would have taken that compared to how I felt a few weeks

:35:26. > :35:40.It is a bit like an episode of Casualty.

:35:41. > :35:42.Also hampered by injury was the second seed,

:35:43. > :35:46.His Wimbledon ended with a whimper, he was forced to retire

:35:47. > :35:48.with an elbow injury against Thomas Berdych.

:35:49. > :35:51.The two-time champion said he'd been struggling with the problem for over

:35:52. > :35:54.a year but yesterday was his worst day.

:35:55. > :35:57.It means Berdych will play the seven time Wimbledon champion

:35:58. > :36:01.And with Murray, Djokovic and Nadal all now out of the tournament,

:36:02. > :36:04.Federer is the favourite to win the title this year.

:36:05. > :36:07.He looked impressive in beating last year's finallist Milos Raonic

:36:08. > :36:15.The final of the four names to contest the men's semi finals

:36:16. > :36:18.is Marin Cilic, who'll face Murray's conqueror Sam Querrey.

:36:19. > :36:20.Former US Open champion Cilic came through a five-set epic

:36:21. > :36:24.against Gilles Muller over on Court One.

:36:25. > :36:26.And we still have British interest in the doubles.

:36:27. > :36:28.Heather Watson and partner, Henri Kontinen, continued

:36:29. > :36:30.the defence of their mixed doubles title.

:36:31. > :36:33.They're through to the quarter finals after victory over fourth

:36:34. > :36:46.And we've got four Britons left in the quarter-finals

:36:47. > :36:50.Ken Skupski and Jocelyn Rae are one of the pairs,

:37:39. > :37:42.The world number four has yet to win a tournament in a year that's been

:37:43. > :37:44.disrupted by injury, erratic form, and new clubs.

:37:45. > :37:46.Now, one of the things we love about Andy Murray,

:37:47. > :37:50.and we've got to say, his mum, Judy, must take some credit for this,

:37:51. > :37:55.And we saw another example yesterday in his post match press conference

:37:56. > :38:01.when he corrected an American reporter on their statistics.

:38:02. > :38:05.Sam Querrey is the first US player to reach a major US

:38:06. > :38:33.Did you like that? Isn't that great? I love the way he goes "Male

:38:34. > :38:41.player... Male player." That is Andy Murray out. All eyes are on Johanna

:38:42. > :38:46.Konta. Superstars are talking to her on Twitter. We have also been to see

:38:47. > :38:51.some junior tennis players just down the road from here to see what they

:38:52. > :38:56.had to say for Johanna Konta. The message was loud and clear, they

:38:57. > :39:01.want to say a very big good luck. Thank you very much. We will be back

:39:02. > :39:05.with you later on in the morning. All eyes are wrong to one Contador.

:39:06. > :39:08.It is an exciting day today. -- Johanna Konta.

:39:09. > :39:11.It's a milestone day for the government, as it begins

:39:12. > :39:14.the process of transferring European law into UK law.

:39:15. > :39:17.But at the same time, it's facing criticism for the way

:39:18. > :39:20.The National Audit Office, which monitors public spending,

:39:21. > :39:23.says a lack of leadership is putting the whole process at risk.

:39:24. > :39:26.Let's talk to the Brexit Minister, Steve Baker, who's in our

:39:27. > :39:38.Thank you for joining us. Thank you. How significant is this piece of

:39:39. > :39:45.legislation? It is basically taking EU laws we abide by and turning it

:39:46. > :39:52.into British legislation. Why is this important? It is the most

:39:53. > :39:56.important piece of legislation since the EU law came to the UK and made

:39:57. > :40:03.it supreme over UK law. This will give certainty and continuity and

:40:04. > :40:08.control to us We want the law on the day after believed to be the same as

:40:09. > :40:14.the one before. That is so individuals know they do not face

:40:15. > :40:19.unexpected changes. This is an important piece of legislation,

:40:20. > :40:25.retaining European law, giving us powers to correct it. When will the

:40:26. > :40:32.laws be changed or be up for change? After we have left or during the

:40:33. > :40:36.process, we will bring forward bills putting specific proposals before

:40:37. > :40:41.Parliament in the usual way. Zabeel we are introducing today, the repeal

:40:42. > :40:47.bill, will not make substantial changes to policy beyond what is

:40:48. > :40:52.necessary to make it work, to be consistent outside the EU. -- The

:40:53. > :40:59.bill. How much support will there be for the bill? Conservatives are

:41:00. > :41:04.holding a tight majority. They say they will oppose the bill, Labour

:41:05. > :41:09.and the Lib Dems, unless there are certain changes. They will consider

:41:10. > :41:14.it. After we look at the bill, we are looking forward to see what they

:41:15. > :41:19.bring forward. It is in the national interest. It is an essential next

:41:20. > :41:23.step as we leave the EU. The manifesto accept of the referendum.

:41:24. > :41:28.I had people come together in the interest of the nation to support

:41:29. > :41:32.the bill to make sure we are able to leave the EU in a way which is

:41:33. > :41:36.smooth and orderly and as I said gives individuals and businesses

:41:37. > :41:42.certainty the law will have some continuity as we leave. What is the

:41:43. > :41:47.plan at the moment for changes to the law? At the moment, the EU has

:41:48. > :41:53.set out something like nine areas, clear areas, it is concerned with.

:41:54. > :42:01.Have the Conservatives set out any? Yes, of course we have. Yes. In the

:42:02. > :42:06.Queen's Speech we set out a legislative programme to make sure

:42:07. > :42:09.we leave the EU with a successful immigration and customs bill and so

:42:10. > :42:17.on. At ten o'clock today we will have papers, three papers, on areas

:42:18. > :42:20.relevant to these. And we will set out the negotiating position to make

:42:21. > :42:25.sure parliament and the government are informed about where we stand at

:42:26. > :42:29.each stage of the negotiations. And as each negotiation cycles through,

:42:30. > :42:34.the secretary will tell us what we have to do. We know what we are

:42:35. > :42:39.doing a big we set it out in the white paper and the Lancaster hill

:42:40. > :42:45.speech. They are all available to the public. Will these talks,

:42:46. > :42:50.negotiations, will they be good-natured? You have got comments

:42:51. > :42:55.from the Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, saying the EU can go

:42:56. > :43:02.whistle if it wants the UK to pay a large exit bill. Is that helpful?

:43:03. > :43:06.The government is approaching these talks in a respectful wait... What

:43:07. > :43:11.about what Boris Johnson said? We are determined we will not pay a

:43:12. > :43:15.penny more than we need to. We are probing the position of the EU right

:43:16. > :43:21.across their claims on the exit bill. And we will see where we

:43:22. > :43:28.arrived through because of the negotiation. He said "Go whistle."

:43:29. > :43:33.Is that constructive? Boris Johnson brings a bit of style to... He is

:43:34. > :43:40.the Foreign Secretary and represents your party abroad. Is this

:43:41. > :43:42.constructive? David Davis and the Prime Minister are leading these

:43:43. > :43:49.negotiations. Boris Johnson has chosen the language he has. What I

:43:50. > :43:52.am looking at is how our department and ministers and Prime Minister are

:43:53. > :43:58.talking directly with the EU and Michel Barnier and their

:43:59. > :44:02.institutions. The head of the National Audit Office has said that

:44:03. > :44:09.Theresa May's of ministration is putting a successful Brexit at risk

:44:10. > :44:15.by showing no leaderships. -- administration. These are strong

:44:16. > :44:21.words. The Daily Telegraph has quoted Mrs Morse saying why

:44:22. > :44:25.departments are struggling to sort this out. My department is involved

:44:26. > :44:29.in co-ordinating all government departments and getting ready to

:44:30. > :44:33.leave the EU. What I have seen since I joined the department not long ago

:44:34. > :44:37.is a really invigorated civil service, with people working with a

:44:38. > :44:41.great deal of intellect and insight and great determination to deliver

:44:42. > :44:47.everything we need by the day we exit. The head of the service,

:44:48. > :44:55.Jeremy Heywood, blocks that, and I am confident we can live what is

:44:56. > :45:00.required, no matter what we face. -- deliver. It is a bit of a slap to

:45:01. > :45:03.hear from the head of the National Audit Office that the government is

:45:04. > :45:10.coming apart like a chocolate orange. It is interesting language,

:45:11. > :45:13.but I don't accept it. What I am seeing from inside the government is

:45:14. > :45:19.active and energetic processes in place and clear direction. I believe

:45:20. > :45:24.we will be able to deliver everything necessary for a clear and

:45:25. > :45:30.orderly exit from the EU. How big is the department for exiting the EU?

:45:31. > :45:34.How many? Hundreds of staff. The department is still growing. It is

:45:35. > :45:39.important to remember this is a whole of government operation. All

:45:40. > :45:43.of government needs to bring forward plans. We run the negotiation and

:45:44. > :45:48.assist other departments in their plans. Remember, it is not a single

:45:49. > :45:51.government department effort, all of it.

:45:52. > :45:58.Steve Baker, Parliamentary Undersecretary of State for the

:45:59. > :46:02.department for exiting the European Union, thank you for your time.

:46:03. > :46:09.Let's catch up with the weather picture with Carol at Wimbledon.

:46:10. > :46:13.Good morning, Carol. Good morning. This morning it is beautiful, the

:46:14. > :46:18.sun is beating down, lovely and warm at the moment and in fact we've been

:46:19. > :46:22.very lucky in terms of rainfall, we had one day of torrential rain but

:46:23. > :46:26.we haven't had a lot of interruptions due to the rain. The

:46:27. > :46:34.wettest year on record forward Maldon was 1997. In the two weeks we

:46:35. > :46:39.had 180 millimetres of rainfall -- for Wimbledon. That's just over 4.5

:46:40. > :46:43.inches. We aren't expecting anything like that today, we're not expecting

:46:44. > :46:47.even any showers today, just the outside chance so the forecast for

:46:48. > :46:51.Wimbledon is mostly dry. Fair bit of sunshine around but through the

:46:52. > :46:54.afternoon there will be more cloud developing but nothing too

:46:55. > :46:59.significant, we will hang on to sunny intervals with highs of 20 or

:47:00. > :47:03.21 or possibly slightly more. For all of us today we are looking at a

:47:04. > :47:09.largely dry day with sunny spells, some showers in the forecast but not

:47:10. > :47:13.all of us will catch one. Starting at 9am across southern England,

:47:14. > :47:16.sunshine and cloud around and as we move further north into the

:47:17. > :47:19.Midlands, central and southern England, a bit more cloud, which

:47:20. > :47:23.could produce the odd shower but that cloud will break up through the

:47:24. > :47:27.morning. In northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, under

:47:28. > :47:30.clear skies overnight, a chilly night, temperatures in some

:47:31. > :47:36.sheltered Glens falling to three or four, but starting to pick up quite

:47:37. > :47:39.nicely now, similarly in Northern Ireland, but starting with sunshine.

:47:40. > :47:42.A sunny start to the day in Wales but in south Wales and

:47:43. > :47:46.Gloucestershire, we're looking at Cakir cloud and that could produce

:47:47. > :47:51.the odd shower, similar in Wiltshire -- thicker cloud. In south-west

:47:52. > :47:57.England, at times more cloud but equally some sunshine around. As we

:47:58. > :48:01.drift to the Home Counties, and all points south, still looking at

:48:02. > :48:05.sunshine with some cloud developing. Through the course of the day, what

:48:06. > :48:09.you'll find is we will lose some of that cloud in central and southern

:48:10. > :48:14.England but through the day we see fairweather cloud. And will see more

:48:15. > :48:17.than that, so showers in parts of England, parts of Scotland,

:48:18. > :48:21.especially the east of Northern Ireland and Wales but not everyone

:48:22. > :48:24.will see them. By the end of the afternoon a weather front will

:48:25. > :48:27.produce rain in western Scotland and Northern Ireland. That weather front

:48:28. > :48:32.will continue going south-east as we go through the course of the night,

:48:33. > :48:37.weakening by the time it gets to the far south-east. Temperature wise,

:48:38. > :48:41.ten to 15. Again, not as sticky as it has been in parts of the

:48:42. > :48:46.south-east of late. Tomorrow, very similar conditions to today in that

:48:47. > :48:50.we start off with sunshine, the cloud building through the day and a

:48:51. > :48:53.few of us will see some showers and later in the day, another weather

:48:54. > :48:57.front shows its hand in western Scotland and Northern Ireland.

:48:58. > :49:02.Temperatures up a notch on what we're expecting today. Getting up

:49:03. > :49:07.towards the mid-20s as our maximum height. Then as we move from Friday

:49:08. > :49:11.into Saturday morning, our weather front will have crossed us as a weak

:49:12. > :49:15.feature, hardly any rain in it at all in the south-east. A bit more

:49:16. > :49:20.cloud around on Saturday than in the next couple of days but nonetheless,

:49:21. > :49:24.some sunny spells, a few showers and some rain in the north and west.

:49:25. > :49:28.Turning more humid in southern counties, so if you're coming to

:49:29. > :49:32.Wimbledon on Saturday or Sunday, bear that in mind because we will

:49:33. > :49:36.see our temperatures once again moved from the mid-to-high teens

:49:37. > :49:39.ease in parts of southern England. Sounds lovely.

:49:40. > :49:50.We are going to talk about the advertising industry but focusing in

:49:51. > :49:56.on features we going to do about women in influential business

:49:57. > :50:01.positions. Tell us about your guest. Good morning to you, both, good

:50:02. > :50:08.morning, everyone, this summer we will talk to some of the top women

:50:09. > :50:18.in business that influence all our bar -- all of our lives. We are

:50:19. > :50:20.joined by one of the women that shapes a lot of the advertising we

:50:21. > :50:23.see on our televisions everyday. The UK media industry is huge,

:50:24. > :50:26.the top 100 companies generate about ?90bn in sales MediaCom

:50:27. > :50:29.is the biggest media agency It turned over more than ?1 billion

:50:30. > :50:35.last year and employs more than 1,000 people around

:50:36. > :50:38.the country in five offices. MediaCom plans and buys media

:50:39. > :50:40.space on TV, online, billboards and many other places

:50:41. > :50:43.for big brands like Tesco, Karen Blackett is the

:50:44. > :50:55.chairwoman of MediaCom UK. Hello. Good morning. As we are

:50:56. > :51:00.seeing inflation start to bite, are we actually seen the death of a lot

:51:01. > :51:05.of those big brands? People are prepared to shop around a bit more

:51:06. > :51:09.and go for a cheaper option. We are entering a period of people looking

:51:10. > :51:13.at prioritising. What we are doing with our clients is working to make

:51:14. > :51:17.sure we're at the top of the priority list rather than the

:51:18. > :51:22.consideration list, more so now than ever brand is really important but

:51:23. > :51:25.we are seeing a change in terms of how people are spending their

:51:26. > :51:29.advertising budget based on that uncertainty in terms of what's going

:51:30. > :51:33.on economically. We're seeing more of an increase towards media which

:51:34. > :51:39.can be bought on a shorter term basis, more of a move towards

:51:40. > :51:42.digital media, as opposed to TV media, which is normally associated

:51:43. > :51:46.with brand building. You've been in the industry for 20 years, what

:51:47. > :51:50.changes have you seen, online must be one of the big ones? The main

:51:51. > :51:57.change is Everything is connected now, everything can be media. The

:51:58. > :52:02.smart phone, 77% of all UK adults have one, they have changed the way

:52:03. > :52:07.people interact and use media and how one medium can influence

:52:08. > :52:11.another. Yes, TV advertising's incredibly important but also in

:52:12. > :52:15.conjunction with other media. You watch a TV ad or programme and you

:52:16. > :52:20.can go online or go to social media and engaging conversations about it,

:52:21. > :52:24.you see a TV ad and you can go online and search a website from a

:52:25. > :52:27.client so it's how one media connects with another. Is it easy to

:52:28. > :52:33.keep up with those technology changes that seem to be developing

:52:34. > :52:37.so fast? I'm a digital convert, I wasn't born in a time when the

:52:38. > :52:42.Internet existed, so I'm a convert and we have a number of digital

:52:43. > :52:46.natives employed in the agency but what's really helpful is working for

:52:47. > :52:53.an organisation where you do have scale and insight. Data has allowed

:52:54. > :52:57.us to do our job better. Media is becoming more personal and less

:52:58. > :53:02.public in terms of consumption and we are able to build data to talk in

:53:03. > :53:07.the right way at the right time to consumers. You've campaigned through

:53:08. > :53:10.your career for more diversity in the advertising industry, especially

:53:11. > :53:16.at board level, but have we seen changes in the images that we all

:53:17. > :53:20.see in adverts? Are they now more reflective of society, more

:53:21. > :53:24.inclusive? We've still got a long way to go and that's about future

:53:25. > :53:28.proofing any business to make sure you appeal to the people that live

:53:29. > :53:34.in the UK. The UK's a brilliant fruit salad of people, we have 14%

:53:35. > :53:39.that come from a baying background but in some cities you're seeing the

:53:40. > :53:42.minority becoming the majority so if you want to future proof your

:53:43. > :53:46.business you need people in your organisation that walks on the path

:53:47. > :53:50.of those consumers and know how to build empathy and connections in

:53:51. > :53:55.terms of the brand stories. We still got a long way to go. 30% of the

:53:56. > :54:04.industry is run by women but only 8% run by people from a black, Asian or

:54:05. > :54:09.minority background. You are unique in that sense at the top of the

:54:10. > :54:13.advertising agency. Have you faced discrimination through your career?

:54:14. > :54:17.I'm fortunate I've worked for a company that is about recognising

:54:18. > :54:22.talent and it is about your output rather than what you look like. But

:54:23. > :54:27.to my face, no, I haven't experienced discrimination. Behind

:54:28. > :54:34.my back? Yes I have, absolutely, it's been other people that have

:54:35. > :54:38.told me about it. I have always been taught to celebrate your differences

:54:39. > :54:43.and I have relevance, and my voice, I exist in a small then diagram,

:54:44. > :54:47.part of a Venn diagram, and that makes me relevant, unique and

:54:48. > :54:53.memorable. Thanks very much, Karen Blackett, the chair of MediaCom UK.

:54:54. > :54:57.The first in a series of interviews we will do through this summer

:54:58. > :55:01.talking to high profile on Breakfast.

:55:02. > :55:05.Can I ask a question to Karen, how useful do you think it is for

:55:06. > :55:10.programmes to highlight the fact that women need to be focused on in

:55:11. > :55:14.business? Will we get to a point where we don't need to be talking

:55:15. > :55:17.about it? I would love to get to that point but until we do it's

:55:18. > :55:21.incredibly important to focus on it because I think we need more senior

:55:22. > :55:27.women in business positions to be vocal and visible. Unless you see

:55:28. > :55:31.it, you can't be it, I would love to get to a stage where it's normal and

:55:32. > :55:34.I'm not the only black woman in advertising in a senior role that

:55:35. > :55:39.can speak about this issue. Good to have you with us, Karen

:55:40. > :55:41.Blackett, and thanks very much. Unless you see it, you can't be it,

:55:42. > :59:35.I love that phrase! Hello, this is Breakfast, with

:59:36. > :59:37.Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt. The first step to making Brexit law,

:59:38. > :59:40.the bill to convert EU law into British legislation

:59:41. > :59:43.is put before parliament. The government calls

:59:44. > :59:46.it a major milestone - opposition parties threaten

:59:47. > :00:03.to obstruct its progress. Good morning, it's

:00:04. > :00:10.Thursday 13th July. Also this morning, the parents

:00:11. > :00:13.of terminally-ill baby Charlie Gard take their case to the High Court,

:00:14. > :00:16.arguing that an experimental At Wimbledon, all British hopes now

:00:17. > :00:21.lie with Johanna Konta, after Andy Murray was

:00:22. > :00:27.knocked out yesterday. She faces Venus Williams

:00:28. > :00:29.on Centre Court later today, bidding to become the first British

:00:30. > :00:45.woman to reach a Wimbledon singles The parent company of Southern Rail

:00:46. > :00:47.has been fined ?13 million for a year of strikes and delays. More on

:00:48. > :00:51.that shortly. A new look

:00:52. > :00:52.for a London Landmark. We'll be at the Natural History

:00:53. > :00:55.Museum, where this is the sight that will be greeting

:00:56. > :00:57.visitors from today. And Carol has the weather

:00:58. > :01:06.from Wimbledon. Good morning from centre court where

:01:07. > :01:09.the sun is beating down, the temperature is currently 15 Celsius

:01:10. > :01:15.and that is should stay dry. For the UK as a whole, again mostly dry.

:01:16. > :01:18.Sunny spells, a few showers but later we have some rain coming in

:01:19. > :01:20.across western Scotland and Northern Ireland. We will be back with more

:01:21. > :01:22.later in the programme. The government will today publish

:01:23. > :01:25.a long-awaited bill that will convert European Union laws

:01:26. > :01:30.into British legislation. It's been referred to as the repeal

:01:31. > :01:33.bill, but its official title is the European Union Withdrawal

:01:34. > :01:34.Bill. Its purpose is to replace EU law

:01:35. > :01:37.with UK legislation, The Brexit Secretary David Davis has

:01:38. > :01:43.described it as a "major milestone". However, political opponents have

:01:44. > :01:45.threatened to disrupt its passage Our political correspondent

:01:46. > :02:01.Ben Wright is in Westminster. Good morning. This is very

:02:02. > :02:04.important, we have been told. It may not necessarily go through, it may

:02:05. > :02:08.be blocked, there are threats of that, and all of those very

:02:09. > :02:13.interesting, considering how tight the majority Theresa May holds in

:02:14. > :02:17.this government. Yes, that's right, that last point is absolutely

:02:18. > :02:21.critical. Because of the general election, Theresa May is not have a

:02:22. > :02:24.majority in the House of Commons, which means getting anything through

:02:25. > :02:27.in this parliament will be difficult, and this in particular

:02:28. > :02:30.will be a very contentious piece of legislation. Perhaps the most

:02:31. > :02:36.important bill this parliament will have to deal with. What it does on

:02:37. > :02:40.the face of it is quite simple, it reveals the 1972 European Community

:02:41. > :02:45.'s act and ends the application of EU law in the UK, and that will come

:02:46. > :02:53.into effect on the day the European leaves the EU. But all of the law

:02:54. > :02:59.has to be transferred onto the UK Statute book to avoid chaos on

:03:00. > :03:03.Brexit day. Steve Baker, one of the ministers responsible for Brexit,

:03:04. > :03:07.told Breakfast earlier what this bill was actually trying to do. We

:03:08. > :03:12.want to make sure that the law on the day after we leave is the same

:03:13. > :03:16.as the law on the day before, so that individuals and businesses know

:03:17. > :03:19.that they don't face any sudden and unexpected changes. So this is a

:03:20. > :03:24.really important piece of legislation. It reveals the European

:03:25. > :03:28.Communities Act, it retains European law, and it gives us some powers

:03:29. > :03:33.just to correct that law so that the statute book works. So Mr Baker

:03:34. > :03:37.makes it sound quite simple. In fact, it is very complicated, not

:03:38. > :03:41.just because of the volume of the amount of laws that have to be

:03:42. > :03:44.transferred and thought about by Parliament and ministers, but also

:03:45. > :03:47.after we have left, many of the regulatory bodies that govern how

:03:48. > :03:52.these laws work will no longer apply. In particular, the European

:03:53. > :03:56.Court of Justice, which oversees also the thing is relevant here to

:03:57. > :04:00.the UK. So parliament has to decide who is going to regulate all of

:04:01. > :04:02.these things in the future, from pharmaceutical standards to

:04:03. > :04:06.environmental laws, labour laws, all of this has to be thought about and

:04:07. > :04:10.it is clear that opposition parties have big concerns and are going to

:04:11. > :04:14.make Parliamentary trouble. They will scrutinise the government, they

:04:15. > :04:19.are prepared to battle. Labour have said they might even be prepared to

:04:20. > :04:21.vote this down unless they get fresh assurances from the government, so a

:04:22. > :04:25.big parliamentary vote over this. Lawyers representing the parents

:04:26. > :04:27.of the terminally-ill baby, Charlie Gard, will return

:04:28. > :04:29.to the High Court today. They'll argue that he should be able

:04:30. > :04:32.to travel to the United States But doctors at Great Ormond Street

:04:33. > :04:35.Hospital say the therapy is unlikely to work,

:04:36. > :04:38.and his life support systems Charlie's family say the treatment

:04:39. > :04:44.is an opportunity to save his life. The BBC has learned that at least

:04:45. > :04:47.one person who survived the Grenfell Tower fire has been

:04:48. > :04:50.diagnosed with cyanide poisoning. Luana Gomes, who's 12-years-old,

:04:51. > :04:52.was treated for the effects It isn't known what caused

:04:53. > :04:58.the poisoning, but her parents, who lost their unborn child

:04:59. > :05:00.after the fire, believe it may have been caused by the burning

:05:01. > :05:03.of insulation or plastics This was the home of

:05:04. > :05:11.the Gomes family on the 21st They have been living in a hotel

:05:12. > :05:17.since their release from hospital. Andreia Gomes was seven months

:05:18. > :05:21.pregnant and the baby was stillborn by caesarean section,

:05:22. > :05:23.while she and her daughters The family allowed BBC

:05:24. > :05:27.Newsnight to film their Their 12-year-old's diagnosis

:05:28. > :05:33.details cyanide poisoning. Her mother and sister were also

:05:34. > :05:36.treated for the risk of cyanide. This is the first confirmation

:05:37. > :05:39.of a cyanide poisoning diagnosis The highly toxic gas may have been

:05:40. > :05:45.released by the burning of insulation or plastics

:05:46. > :05:51.during the blaze. The Gomes family direct their ire

:05:52. > :05:53.at whoever made the decision to place cheaper fire retardant

:05:54. > :05:57.cladding on the tower. Very angry with them, because it

:05:58. > :06:00.could have all been avoided. And that is where the anger

:06:01. > :06:02.really stems from. It should never have

:06:03. > :06:10.happened like this. The residents never wanted

:06:11. > :06:14.the cladding in the first place. I don't know if it's the right word,

:06:15. > :06:22.but you just killed so many people and you just killed my son,

:06:23. > :06:26.because if we were in a normal situation, I could have gone out,

:06:27. > :06:29.and he was seven months, Because of the conditions,

:06:30. > :06:40.he passed away. The family has requested a full

:06:41. > :06:43.postmortem examination on their son They should have been

:06:44. > :06:48.celebrating his birth next month and they had already decided

:06:49. > :06:57.to name him Logan. The educational gap between poor

:06:58. > :07:00.and rich children is getting wider, A report by the "Commission

:07:01. > :07:03.on Inequality in Education", says pupils in more deprived areas

:07:04. > :07:06.are more likely to be taught The Department for Education

:07:07. > :07:11.disputes the findings, and says it's working

:07:12. > :07:20.towards improving education In the next 20 minutes we will talk

:07:21. > :07:22.to the former Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, who has been working on

:07:23. > :07:32.that report. President Trump has landed in Paris

:07:33. > :07:37.ahead of a two-day visit to France. He landed in the last 20 minutes or

:07:38. > :07:41.so. He will be commemorating the centenary of America buys Mac entry

:07:42. > :07:45.in the First World War. Major security in place more generally at

:07:46. > :07:53.the moment, but specifically around Mr Trump is Mac visit. A little wave

:07:54. > :07:57.as he comes down the steps. We can speak to our Paris correspondent,

:07:58. > :08:01.Hugh Schofield. We have seen President Trump arriving, it is an

:08:02. > :08:07.important visit, and two relatively new world leaders. Yes, but they

:08:08. > :08:12.have met, don't forget, and there was the famous handshake a few weeks

:08:13. > :08:17.ago at the G-7. This was Macron who refuse to let go of the Trump and in

:08:18. > :08:22.a very, very deliberate show of force and the session on the part of

:08:23. > :08:27.the French leader. A gesture, which apparently Trump did not take too

:08:28. > :08:29.kindly to afterwards, according to the American media, but which you

:08:30. > :08:34.suspect it did work, in the sense that it was intended to show that

:08:35. > :08:38.France was back, we're not going to be a pushover, and maybe created a

:08:39. > :08:42.kind of mutual respect between the two men, because contrary to all

:08:43. > :08:45.likelihood and expectation, there do seem to be a relationship building

:08:46. > :08:50.up between Macron and Trump. Everything you would think about

:08:51. > :08:54.them. Their age, Trump is twice as old practically as Emmanuel Macron,

:08:55. > :08:58.they have no interest in common, no political views in common, but they

:08:59. > :09:01.do seem to be building up a relationship, built out of mutual

:09:02. > :09:06.interest and perhaps out of this shared sense of respect, with Trump

:09:07. > :09:19.admiring perhaps the chips but others new young leader. -- admiring

:09:20. > :09:24.the chutzpah. Particularly of course the fight against terrorism, and the

:09:25. > :09:32.possible cooperation in poor example a postwar Syria. We believe that

:09:33. > :09:34.now, thank you. -- we will leave it there. Thank you very much.

:09:35. > :09:36.The Chief Minister of Gibraltar has criticised comments made yesterday

:09:37. > :09:39.by King Felipe of Spain, during an address to parliament.

:09:40. > :09:42.The King said he was confident that the UK and Spain would find

:09:43. > :09:45.a solution to the issue of Gibraltar that was acceptable to all involved.

:10:26. > :10:27.The desperate campaign of baby Charlie Gard's parents has made

:10:28. > :10:32.His case is back in front of a judge at the High Court today.

:10:33. > :10:34.The 11-month-old has an extremely rare genetic condition,

:10:35. > :10:36.and his family want him to travel to the United States

:10:37. > :10:41.But his doctors at Great Ormond Street Hospital say he is so ill,

:10:42. > :10:52.The family is arguing that the treatment offers an opportunity to

:10:53. > :10:55.save Charlie's life. They have got letters from up to seven doctors and

:10:56. > :11:00.scientists, and it demonstrates there is up to a 10% chance of this

:11:01. > :11:05.ground-breaking treatment working, and they would know within a period

:11:06. > :11:12.of two to eight weeks whether or not baby Charlie is improving. And the

:11:13. > :11:13.treatment is noninvasive, it is not an operation, it is actually a food

:11:14. > :11:17.additive into his food. We're

:11:18. > :11:19.joined now by Iain Brassington, Medical Ethics lecturer

:11:20. > :11:29.at the University of Manchester. Good morning. When you hear that, it

:11:30. > :11:31.seems as if there is a treatment out there, and the parents and Charlie

:11:32. > :11:37.Gard are being denied this treatment. We obviously know it is

:11:38. > :11:44.not as simple as that. Yep. We are not in any way accusing medical

:11:45. > :11:48.staff of anything, but which way do you lie on this tussle? Where do

:11:49. > :11:53.your sympathies lie the most? Where my sympathies lie and who I think

:11:54. > :11:56.right is not the same thing. On a very human level, no one would want

:11:57. > :12:03.to be in that kind of situation, if you or I were Charlie's parents, I

:12:04. > :12:07.suspect we would be making exactly the same case. So on an emotional

:12:08. > :12:10.level, clearly a lot of our sympathies will be there, but when

:12:11. > :12:15.it comes down to the details of this case, what has been proposed in this

:12:16. > :12:17.latest development is not a treatment, but an experimental

:12:18. > :12:20.treatment, so it is not as though we have something we know will work and

:12:21. > :12:23.will be straightforward and more make him better, it is something

:12:24. > :12:28.that has a small chance of possibly making a small difference. So once

:12:29. > :12:31.you take that kind of thing into account, the Dr's assessment of

:12:32. > :12:34.whether it is a chance worth taking or whether the burdens it will

:12:35. > :12:37.accrue to Charlie will be too great, that becomes much more of a live

:12:38. > :12:42.issue, notwithstanding the emotional side of it. If we look at the

:12:43. > :12:46.ethical side of this, how does it work, in percentage terms? Is it

:12:47. > :12:49.that cold, when it comes down to making these decisions, because as a

:12:50. > :12:55.parent obviously we understand that you have the promise or the hope of

:12:56. > :13:00.something. But whether doctors lie, and obviously the medical well-being

:13:01. > :13:04.of Charlie is at the centre of their concern, how do they make that

:13:05. > :13:09.decision as to whether or not it is worth trying? It is a very, very

:13:10. > :13:13.tough one, and there is no hard and fast rule, there is no chart where

:13:14. > :13:17.we can say we have crossed the threshold. As I understand, this

:13:18. > :13:21.particular treatment, what is proposed has at most a 10% chance of

:13:22. > :13:26.working a very small evidence base, so on that basis, we know that

:13:27. > :13:29.Charlie still being in intensive care is not without burdens of its

:13:30. > :13:33.own, so it will be a matter of the judgment of the doctors, based on

:13:34. > :13:37.the experience of other severely ill children, based on the prospects

:13:38. > :13:41.that this treatment is likely to bring, they have reached some kind

:13:42. > :13:46.of judgment about where the line is crossed. But as you say it is a very

:13:47. > :13:51.difficult one to call precisely. We have the system we have, and the

:13:52. > :13:54.system dictates ultimately it is a court, a judge, who makes that

:13:55. > :13:58.determination, and that in itself is a problem for a lot of people,

:13:59. > :14:00.because a lot of them say surely it should be doctors and all the

:14:01. > :14:05.parents who make that final decision. But the system we have

:14:06. > :14:12.means it is a legal person, a judge, not a medical professional, looking

:14:13. > :14:15.at all the evidence, but he or she is clearly faced by evidence on

:14:16. > :14:19.either side. So ultimately you have someone who is not medically

:14:20. > :14:24.trained, nor a parent, making the call. And these are very hard thing

:14:25. > :14:29.to balance out. Yes, and again that is one of the interesting things

:14:30. > :14:32.about this kind of case, all three players, the parents, the medical

:14:33. > :14:36.staff and the judge, there is a good reason to go with all of them. So as

:14:37. > :14:41.I said, the parents, it is their child may have a very direct bond

:14:42. > :14:44.with the child, the doctors have the medical knowledge, the judges

:14:45. > :14:51.advantage is that they are disinterested, they are above that,

:14:52. > :14:55.so for each of the triangle you can make a case for who should have the

:14:56. > :14:58.final decision. In practice, in reality, I think what is likely to

:14:59. > :15:02.be the case is that the medical evidence is likely to be

:15:03. > :15:05.overwhelming, so the judges have to be disinterested, they will step

:15:06. > :15:09.back and say who has the best argument? The judge has the ability

:15:10. > :15:14.to step back and do that, and so that is why I think overall it does

:15:15. > :15:18.make sense that it be in judicial hands. And of course the law itself

:15:19. > :15:21.has a position that it takes. The law says that treatment can only be

:15:22. > :15:26.provided if it is the best of the child. And so the judge is therefore

:15:27. > :15:31.the best person who can decide, is this actually serving Charlie's best

:15:32. > :15:34.interests? If yes, then provided, if it is not, then not only is there no

:15:35. > :15:40.reason to provided but there might be a reason not to.

:15:41. > :15:46.From an ethical point of view, the amount of time this has taken,

:15:47. > :15:53.dragged out, it is unsympathetic term, but is there an ethical issue

:15:54. > :16:00.there that it has not been resolved sooner to cause less pain? Yeah,

:16:01. > :16:03.absolutely. With all of these things, the point can be made that

:16:04. > :16:08.we should not be starting from here, but this is where we are. It is true

:16:09. > :16:13.it has gone through the courts four times, I think, and it has dragged

:16:14. > :16:19.on over months. That is obviously not something anyone would want but

:16:20. > :16:27.this is where we are. That makes it more urgent now. Thank you so much

:16:28. > :16:35.for your time this morning. Let us take some time ourselves to look at

:16:36. > :16:41.the weather. Good morning. It is a very pleasant start the day. 16

:16:42. > :16:45.degrees here and it will only get warmer and so many British players

:16:46. > :16:52.playing today, I would imagine Henman hill, Murray Mount, it will

:16:53. > :16:57.be packed. Yesterday 38,000 people attended Wimbledon. The capacity is

:16:58. > :17:03.39,000, roughly 2000 more than on the same day last year were here

:17:04. > :17:08.yesterday. Last year, four days were interrupted by rain for. This year,

:17:09. > :17:13.we're not expecting that many and none today. It is largely dry today

:17:14. > :17:17.with sunny spells with more cloud building this afternoon but

:17:18. > :17:24.nonetheless, sunny intervals prevailing. Only a very outside

:17:25. > :17:30.chance of a shower. Mostly dry. 20, 21, maybe a little bit more in the

:17:31. > :17:37.sunshine. The forecast for the UK, dry, but there are showers, although

:17:38. > :17:42.by no means will we all see them. My name, southern England, sunshine,

:17:43. > :17:45.some cloud, thicker cloud in the Midlands, central, southern England,

:17:46. > :17:49.producing the odd shower but it will break up through the morning.

:17:50. > :18:01.Northern England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, chilly. Temperatures will

:18:02. > :18:06.pick up readily. Northern Ireland, beautiful start, chilly. The same

:18:07. > :18:10.for Wales. Although parts of south Wales, more cloud around and you

:18:11. > :18:16.could catch the odd shower. South-west England, bright spells or

:18:17. > :18:20.sunny spells. Bright spells, a bit more cloud, but with the sunny

:18:21. > :18:22.spells, you will see the sun. The home Counties, a mixture of bright

:18:23. > :18:30.spells and sunny skies. Further sunny spells developing through the

:18:31. > :18:35.day and some of the cloud will be thick enough to produce showers in

:18:36. > :18:39.England, Wales, eastern Scotland and Northern Ireland. By the end of the

:18:40. > :18:45.afternoon, and other weather front coming in in western Scotland and

:18:46. > :18:49.Northern Ireland introducing rain. Maximum temperature is likely to be

:18:50. > :18:54.23 in the south-east. Overnight, the weather front in the West continues

:18:55. > :19:00.to move Southeast and will do so overnight, weakening by the time it

:19:01. > :19:07.gets to the south-east. Temperatures 10-15, not as sultry as it has been

:19:08. > :19:10.in the south-east. Tomorrow the front clears away and it will be

:19:11. > :19:15.more or less at the same as today, sunshine, cloud developing and

:19:16. > :19:20.further showers developing. We will also have a weather front coming

:19:21. > :19:24.back in across the West of Scotland and Northern Ireland later.

:19:25. > :19:29.Temperatures up a notch on the day. Overnight, Friday into Saturday, the

:19:30. > :19:34.weather front comes south, weakens, not much rain in the south.

:19:35. > :19:38.Saturday, more cloud than we have been used to. Nonetheless, still

:19:39. > :19:42.sunny spells, a few showers, and outbreaks of rain in parts of the

:19:43. > :19:46.north and west. By then, temperatures rising in southern

:19:47. > :19:53.areas and we will start to feel more humid. By Sunday, in the south, it

:19:54. > :19:55.will be that scenario, hotter and humid with temperatures somewhere

:19:56. > :20:10.between 25 and 28 degrees. That is hot! See you later. So much

:20:11. > :20:14.has been talked about the problems with Southern Rail.

:20:15. > :20:18.They financed? The Government has been making a decision on this for

:20:19. > :20:23.quite awhile. The parent company of Southern Rail has been fined more

:20:24. > :20:27.?13 million by the Government. They will have to spend it on

:20:28. > :20:32.improvements for passengers. More than a year since the dispute with

:20:33. > :20:34.unions saw a string of strikes affecting commuters. The row has not

:20:35. > :20:40.been resolved with more strikes possible over the summer. Property

:20:41. > :20:46.surveyors say that the housing market is operating at a sluggish

:20:47. > :20:49.pace. The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors say the market

:20:50. > :20:52.might continue flat-lining for a while after 16 months of falling

:20:53. > :21:00.numbers of home surveys being commissioned. The flip-flop maker

:21:01. > :21:04.Havianas has been sold for more than $1 million.

:21:05. > :21:07.The Brazilian label has become one of the most popular global brands

:21:08. > :21:09.and they sell about 200 million pairs of their brightly coloured

:21:35. > :21:38.on Inequality in Education, which includes politicians

:21:39. > :21:40.from across the main parties. It has found that pupils

:21:41. > :21:42.in disadvantaged areas are more likely to be taught by younger

:21:43. > :21:45.teachers who lack a degree. The former Deputy Prime Minister,

:21:46. > :21:47.Nick Clegg, is the chair of the commission and is in our

:21:48. > :21:52.Westminster studio. Thank you for your time. Take us

:21:53. > :21:54.through the significant findings, if you would? The most significant one

:21:55. > :22:00.is that even though the attainment, how well pupils do in the classroom,

:22:01. > :22:07.has improved over the years by the benchmarks governments apply, five

:22:08. > :22:10.GCSEs and so on, the gap between the performance of children from the

:22:11. > :22:16.more advantaged backgrounds and the most disadvantaged has remained

:22:17. > :22:22.stubbornly consistent over the last 30 years and a new trend is

:22:23. > :22:25.emerging, we have always known about the link between parental income and

:22:26. > :22:31.how well a child does at school but now were a child lives, the

:22:32. > :22:34.geography of the inequality in our school systems, it has become more

:22:35. > :22:39.pronounced over time and that was something that we found as we did

:22:40. > :22:43.our research and as you have rightly suggested it was a cross-party

:22:44. > :22:48.endeavour. It is a commission hosted by the Social Market Foundation

:22:49. > :22:52.think tank. Research showed it is associated with the fact that a lot

:22:53. > :22:57.of schools in disadvantaged areas have less qualified teachers who

:22:58. > :23:00.stay for a shorter period of time at those schools, a higher turnover of

:23:01. > :23:06.less qualified, less experienced teachers in the schools where you

:23:07. > :23:13.want the most qualified and experienced teachers. The scenario

:23:14. > :23:17.you have, in a deprived area, a school, the talent they are able to

:23:18. > :23:23.attract, for whatever reason, is not as good? Not as much experience.

:23:24. > :23:27.Where does the blame lies? Resume believe they put an advertisement

:23:28. > :23:34.out and they ask for the best possible candidates -- presumably

:23:35. > :23:40.they put an advertisement out. Is the school not choosing the right

:23:41. > :23:44.teachers? Plot it through for me. What we found speaking to teachers

:23:45. > :23:47.who are obviously the most important people to speak to, lots of

:23:48. > :23:52.particularly younger teachers who might be great teachers but they do

:23:53. > :23:57.not have the experience or the pedigree of their more experienced

:23:58. > :24:01.peers, they want to go to the schools which are in the most

:24:02. > :24:05.challenging areas, they go to them and then for some reason they get

:24:06. > :24:09.demoralised and often leave after a few months. What we try to

:24:10. > :24:13.understand is, why was that the case? It was not about page,

:24:14. > :24:19.interestingly. Often they will be paid more if they go to a school in

:24:20. > :24:23.a disadvantaged area and teachers in more advantageous areas. It seems to

:24:24. > :24:27.be more about the fact they felt their efforts were not necessarily

:24:28. > :24:33.well recognised by the way in which the school is judged in the rankings

:24:34. > :24:36.that are published about schools and often also teachers, inexperienced

:24:37. > :24:45.teachers, they said they would value to have more support from mentors in

:24:46. > :24:48.the school. One of our recommendations is firstly that if a

:24:49. > :24:52.teacher wants to later in their career become a headteacher and get

:24:53. > :24:56.a headship qualification, they first must have shown they have done a

:24:57. > :25:02.serious dent in the disadvantaged school. Secondly, to make sure the

:25:03. > :25:04.relationships between more experienced and less experienced

:25:05. > :25:12.teachers are duplicated across the country. Does that mean a

:25:13. > :25:16.headteacher is obliged to take on a variety of experience of teaching?

:25:17. > :25:20.How do you possibly enforce that? Surely a headteacher would take on

:25:21. > :25:26.whoever they think is best for the job? You cannot tell them who to

:25:27. > :25:30.employ. Sorry, if you want to become a headteacher yourself, our

:25:31. > :25:33.recommendation is, and there is a thing called a headship

:25:34. > :25:38.qualification, we are saying you can only get that qualification if you

:25:39. > :25:47.yourself, in your earlier teaching career, have done a serious stint in

:25:48. > :25:51.a school in a disadvantaged area, creating an incentive for future

:25:52. > :25:53.leaders in our schools to have accumulated serious experience

:25:54. > :25:59.teaching in those schools where we need the best teachers. Are you

:26:00. > :26:02.really frustrated? You have been in politics a long time, I am sure I

:26:03. > :26:07.have interviewed you and other politicians in the past about what

:26:08. > :26:13.is going on in education and it is always the same people, in deprived

:26:14. > :26:17.areas, nothing ever seems to change. To be fair, it is not quite as

:26:18. > :26:22.simple. As I said, the good news is the attainment of all pupils is

:26:23. > :26:27.actually increasing, it is just the gap between the rich and the poor is

:26:28. > :26:31.not. Secondly, behind that sense of nothing changing, quite a lot is

:26:32. > :26:35.shifting. There are certain parts of the country, I am right now in

:26:36. > :26:40.London, London was in the middle of the tables, the rankings, some years

:26:41. > :26:46.ago, and it is now towards the top. London is an area of great diversity

:26:47. > :26:50.socially, ethnically and so on. There has also been huge changes in

:26:51. > :26:55.the performance of girls against boys. And the performance of

:26:56. > :26:59.different ethnic groups. All pupils from Asian community is 30 years ago

:27:00. > :27:04.were not doing very well and now, for instance, kids from Chinese and

:27:05. > :27:09.Indian families in Britain are doing considerably better than the

:27:10. > :27:12.average. I agree with you that the overall picture can feel pretty

:27:13. > :27:17.dismal and static, but behind that, there are a lot of changes. What we

:27:18. > :27:21.try and do in the report is picked out where the changes have been in

:27:22. > :27:26.the right direction, how can we spread that as best practice? One of

:27:27. > :27:30.the observations, you will not be surprised to hear, is that not only

:27:31. > :27:38.does a child do well in the classroom if they are taught by

:27:39. > :27:40.well-qualified teachers, but also if they have parents supportive at

:27:41. > :27:43.home. Again, it is tricky when politicians try and help parents how

:27:44. > :27:46.to be parents, but there are examples around the country of

:27:47. > :27:50.schools who enter into a contract, if you like, between teachers and

:27:51. > :27:54.parents to encourage parents to be more supportive of their daughters

:27:55. > :28:00.and sons in doing homework and so on and it is again something in our

:28:01. > :28:09.recommendations we believe should happen on a more widespread basis.

:28:10. > :31:26.Thank you for your time, chair of the Commission

:32:15. > :32:17.What I'm seeing from the inside of Government,

:32:18. > :32:20.it is a very active and energetic process in place.

:32:21. > :32:21.I'm seeing very clear political direction,

:32:22. > :32:24.and I believe that we will be able to deliver all that is necessary

:34:25. > :34:27.interesting story we are hearing that the community is embracing

:34:28. > :34:32.this, there are fewer tensions than we have seen in other parts of the

:34:33. > :34:36.Mediterranean? Yes, it is a picture postcard

:34:37. > :34:42.island, and the locals here, 800 of them, are doing something very

:34:43. > :34:46.different elsewhere we have been to places like Lesbos Thunderbirds have

:34:47. > :34:53.come in, more than a million people last year, people here watched on,

:34:54. > :34:58.invited a small group of refugees, people who were prepared to work and

:34:59. > :35:01.integrate, and they would be given accommodation here, and most now

:35:02. > :35:05.have presidency as well. It is a product they want to spread

:35:06. > :35:09.elsewhere. Let's bring in one of those who got involved and decided

:35:10. > :35:16.to employ three refugees at your hotel. Tell me about whether you

:35:17. > :35:24.think this idea that you are doing can work elsewhere? Yes, I wish, and

:35:25. > :35:30.actually this is not happening for the first time on Tilos, I think

:35:31. > :35:33.Tilos is the last 25 years is doing things for the first time in Greece,

:35:34. > :35:39.that is why I believe that this came very naturally for us. I know for

:35:40. > :35:46.example Tilos had the first gay civil partnership you, the first to

:35:47. > :35:59.have clean energy, the first to also say no to the partying lifestyle...

:36:00. > :36:04.The first with the medicine and the doctors. How have your refugee

:36:05. > :36:09.workers integrated here? They are very well, very naturally, we didn't

:36:10. > :36:15.have any second thoughts, we didn't have second thoughts when we picked

:36:16. > :36:18.them up because they needed help, now they need work, this is the

:36:19. > :36:24.second step, and very naturally we give them work. That is what we do,

:36:25. > :36:29.we do that for the last 25 years and we do that again now. I think we

:36:30. > :36:33.will continue that. Thank you for talking to us. Briefly, it is

:36:34. > :36:37.extraordinary, there are people here working in restaurants and bars, I

:36:38. > :36:42.have spoken to people who want to buy houses here, Syrian families who

:36:43. > :36:45.want to set up a life in Tilos, somebody who wants to set up the

:36:46. > :36:52.first bakery, they want to cool it Mr Falafel.

:36:53. > :36:54.That is quite a nice thought to end on. A positive tale to come out of

:38:37. > :38:40.centre court, the covers are off, the Royal box is having a lot of

:38:41. > :38:44.fuss at the moment, very much focusing on cleaning it and tidying

:38:45. > :38:47.up, I wonder who they are expecting today? I reckon it might be quite

:38:48. > :38:52.poll today because it is a big day year, the women's semifinals day we

:38:53. > :38:56.have got Jo Konta hoping to become the first British woman to get into

:38:57. > :39:03.the final for 40 years, Virginia Wade was the last one, she won 40

:39:04. > :39:06.years ago. Jo beat Simona Halep on Tuesday, she is now facing five-time

:39:07. > :39:09.champion been as Williams, they are second on centre.

:39:10. > :39:12.The pair are second on Centre Court today and Konta knows the home

:39:13. > :39:16.It makes it more special because it is home, and I do

:39:17. > :39:19.get that home support, which I don't get anywhere else.

:39:20. > :39:21.So, in that sense it makes it, I guess it makes

:39:22. > :39:31.And it won't just be the Wimbledon crowd rooting for Konta -

:39:32. > :39:33.U2 are among those who've tweeted their support,

:39:34. > :39:37.sending congratulations and good luck.

:39:38. > :39:40.And Sir Mick Jagger did the same, saying she's gone further

:39:41. > :39:56.Many of you will have seen Andy Murray limp off centre court

:39:57. > :39:59.yesterday, he was beaten by Sam Querrey, and much you would have

:40:00. > :40:02.expected him to win but he has been struggling with a hip injury that

:40:03. > :40:06.has affected impossible weeks, and Sam Querrey played the match of his

:40:07. > :40:08.life. He came from two sets to one down and his through to his first

:40:09. > :40:14.ever grand slam semifinal. Murray wasn't the only player

:40:15. > :40:17.affected by injury - also hampered was the second seed

:40:18. > :40:19.Novak Djokovic. His Wimbledon ended

:40:20. > :40:21.with after he was forced to retire with an elbow injury against Thomas

:40:22. > :40:23.Berdych. The two-time champion said he'd been

:40:24. > :40:25.struggling with the problem for over a year but yesterday

:40:26. > :40:29.was his worst day. So, Berdych will play

:40:30. > :40:31.the seven-time Wimbledon And with Murray, Djokovic and Nadal

:40:32. > :40:38.all now out of the tournament, He looked impressive,

:40:39. > :40:47.beating last year's finallist And we've got four Britons left

:40:48. > :40:51.in the quarter finals Ken Skupski and Jocelyn Rae

:40:52. > :40:54.are one of the pairs, they earned a thrilling victory

:40:55. > :40:57.against the ninth seeds. It went to three sets, the British

:40:58. > :40:59.duo won the final set 9-7. They'll next face Jamie

:41:00. > :41:01.Murray and his partner Martina Hingis, while Heather Watson

:41:02. > :41:12.and Henri Kontinen There are four players in the

:41:13. > :41:14.wheelchair event as well, Mike has a special piece on that coming up in a

:41:15. > :41:14.few minutes. Elsewhere, England's cricketers have

:41:15. > :41:17.secured their place in the semi They beat New Zealand by 75 runs

:41:18. > :41:21.yesterday in Derby - They've qualified with a game

:41:22. > :41:25.to spare, that's against Germany's Marcel Kittel

:41:26. > :41:28.won his fifth stage on this year's Tour de France with victory

:41:29. > :41:31.in Stage 11. Chris Froome retains the leader's

:41:32. > :41:34.yellow jersey and will be looking to defend his 18 second overall lead

:41:35. > :41:37.as the race heads into In just a few hours,

:41:38. > :42:01.Jo Konta will be the first British woman in years to play

:42:02. > :42:03.a Wimbledon semifinal. She's been a favourite since early

:42:04. > :42:06.on, and no doubt has been training exceptionally hard to get

:42:07. > :42:08.to this point. I caught up with her back in April

:42:09. > :42:11.where she told me she's no stranger I actually, for many, many years,

:42:12. > :42:15.there's dormitories behind there, and I used to sleep there,

:42:16. > :42:18.so I literally used to live here. I actually, physically lived pretty

:42:19. > :42:21.much on the tennis court. When I started actually

:42:22. > :42:27.waking my dad up at the crack Yes, he told me that

:42:28. > :42:33.if I wanted to be the best, I needed to invest time

:42:34. > :42:35.and energy into it. He was like, you know,

:42:36. > :42:38."We need to get up in the mornings Once my dad realised that

:42:39. > :42:42.I was really going to be waking him up at the crack of dawn every

:42:43. > :42:46.morning, initially he was a bit like, "Oh no, what have

:42:47. > :42:50.I got myself into?! Dedication. Someone who knows about

:42:51. > :42:52.that is two-time grand slam winner and former world number three Mary

:42:53. > :42:55.Pierce. We heard from Jo talking about how she actually lived on the

:42:56. > :42:58.court, she had a little bedroom next to the court where she stayed all of

:42:59. > :43:03.the time. You know what it takes to get to the top in this game, how

:43:04. > :43:06.hard is the road that gets you here? It is extremely hard, I am laughing

:43:07. > :43:08.because it reminds me of where I lived when I was 15 or 16 in France,

:43:09. > :43:36.I lived actually at the club, above

:43:37. > :43:39.the clubhouse was apartment so my bedroom was pretty much looking over

:43:40. > :43:42.the tennis court, I would wake up, there is the tennis court, go to

:43:43. > :43:45.sleep, there is the tennis court, so it is dedication 24/7, everything

:43:46. > :43:47.you do, not just the time you on the practice court but the time you go

:43:48. > :43:49.to sleep, what you eat, your training of the court, it is

:43:50. > :43:52.everything, sacrifices, discipline. It is not easy but the reward is

:43:53. > :43:55.great. What has Joe sacrificed to get this far, what will she have

:43:56. > :43:57.missed out on? Simple things, even as a young girl you cannot go and

:43:58. > :44:00.walk around in the shopping more for hours because it makes your legs

:44:01. > :44:03.tired, there are certain things you cannot eat because it is not good

:44:04. > :44:06.for you, you cannot have too much sugar, lots of things like that, it

:44:07. > :44:09.is just really your whole life and time is given to that, so there is

:44:10. > :44:12.not a lot of free time. She plays Venus Williams today, it is a match

:44:13. > :44:16.she would look at, I watched Venus play a few days ago and she was in

:44:17. > :44:20.fantastic form but we were talking to one of Jo's coaches from when she

:44:21. > :44:24.was a kid earlier today and he said quite simply, she will win this

:44:25. > :44:28.match. He has got the belief in her and so does the whole country,

:44:29. > :44:32.everyone will be behind Jo Konta today in this match against Venus

:44:33. > :44:36.Williams. They have played five times, Jo has won three, so the

:44:37. > :44:55.head-to-head is in her favour. When you play an

:44:56. > :44:59.opponent you have beaten before you think, I have done this before, I

:45:00. > :45:02.can do it again, I know what I need to do, so in her mind Jo knows what

:45:03. > :45:05.she needs to do tactically to beat Venus Williams. She has improved as

:45:06. > :45:08.a tennis player, her game is so much better now, she is mentally so much

:45:09. > :45:11.stronger, she seems to stay in the moment so well and in the zone, so I

:45:12. > :45:13.have a peonage if she continues to play like she has since the

:45:14. > :45:16.beginning of the tournament she has a very good chance to win. You say

:45:17. > :45:19.her game has improved, how? Her serve, she has a bigger serve, a lot

:45:20. > :45:22.closer to the baseline, playing more aggressive and coming to the net,

:45:23. > :45:24.those are the big things I have noticed, and she is moving really

:45:25. > :45:27.well. Is there a chink in the Williams' Aamer? Is there a

:45:28. > :45:32.weakness? There is, she is a human being like all of the girls on the

:45:33. > :45:35.tour out there, and Venus is a fierce competitor, she has the most

:45:36. > :45:39.experience out of all of the players, she has won the tournament

:45:40. > :45:44.before so she will not be fazed by going on centre court for a

:45:45. > :45:47.semifinal against Jo Konta with the crowd behind Jo but it could be one

:45:48. > :45:53.of those days where some time she is a little bit off, she does have a

:45:54. > :46:01.tendency to lose on her forehand side in important moments. San Jose

:46:02. > :46:04.women's tennis is in as good as the men's might want to watch this

:46:05. > :46:08.afternoon. Two of the most competitive women on the tour

:46:09. > :46:13.playing each other right here. I think it could be quite some match.

:46:14. > :46:15.Definitely. Thank you very much indeed, Mary.

:46:16. > :46:16.Live coverage starts at 12:30pm on BBC Two,

:46:17. > :46:19.and at the same time over on BBC Radio 5 Live.

:46:20. > :46:29.Plenty to look forward to. Sadly, I haven't asked your morning,

:46:30. > :46:36.who is going to win? This match, today? Today? Konte. This time

:46:37. > :46:42.yesterday I would have said Venus, but after we came off air with her

:46:43. > :46:46.coach, I said how is she going to do this and he said, Jo's has got it,

:46:47. > :46:52.she's got the legs, Venus has. She's got a job on her side, power on her

:46:53. > :46:58.side. Actually you haven't seen anything yet from Jo and said she

:46:59. > :47:02.has the most phenomenal, mental belief. Her mental strength is so

:47:03. > :47:05.strong. I'm going with that. Looks like both of you agree with that!

:47:06. > :47:08.Sets up nicely for this afternoon. Autism affects one in every 100

:47:09. > :47:10.people, and it is a condition Author David Mitchell's son

:47:11. > :47:19.was diagnosed when he was four. While trying to learn more

:47:20. > :47:23.about the condition, David discovered that teenage

:47:24. > :47:25.Japanese author Naoki Higashida was writing about how autism

:47:26. > :47:28.affected his schooling, friendships David found Naoki's books

:47:29. > :47:42.so helpful, he translated two Good morning. Good morning. It must

:47:43. > :47:47.have really moved EU, for you to translate into English. Did it offer

:47:48. > :47:52.you something? I imagine you looked into many books about autism, how to

:47:53. > :47:56.deal with children and help children with autism and you weren't finding

:47:57. > :48:01.anything, is that a correct assumption to make? That is pretty

:48:02. > :48:05.much it in a nutshell. Books by specialists and parents of kids with

:48:06. > :48:17.autism have a role, but there was nothing else that was from kids who

:48:18. > :48:23.have nonverbal autism by someone that young, were so close in age to

:48:24. > :48:29.my son. He was just teenager, 13, when the book was published, when he

:48:30. > :48:34.wrote it in Japan. So for these reasons, it was a lot closer to

:48:35. > :48:39.where my son was. The advice in it was often a lot more applicable. It

:48:40. > :48:44.is worth pointing out that what Naoki is doing is what a lot of

:48:45. > :48:48.people thought people with autism cannot do, that notion of reflecting

:48:49. > :48:54.on your own self and talking about it. Just writing the book in itself

:48:55. > :48:57.is an incredible achievement. Yes, he can't speak, he's never had a

:48:58. > :49:01.conversation like this in his life. What you can do, however, is right

:49:02. > :49:08.via what he calls an hour for that great. It's kind of eight cardboard

:49:09. > :49:12.qwerty keyboard. He points to individual letters, vocalises them

:49:13. > :49:18.and that is how he communicate. Is this you meeting him? That's right,

:49:19. > :49:21.we met at my home in Ireland. How did this process work? You've found

:49:22. > :49:26.the book and translated it? My wife, I better not leave her out of the

:49:27. > :49:31.equation or I will be in trouble when I get home expert she found the

:49:32. > :49:35.book in Japan. It looks promising and when it arrived she began

:49:36. > :49:40.reading it at the kitchen table and began verbally translating large

:49:41. > :49:45.sections and saying, hey, this is just like our Sun, this could be

:49:46. > :49:49.what's going on with our Sun hitting his head against the floor or why he

:49:50. > :49:58.has inexplicable mood shifts so quickly. -- our son. This is one

:49:59. > :50:04.person with autism, that's true, but often there is an overlap, perhaps

:50:05. > :50:08.with nonverbal autism, where people cannot speak for themselves. You are

:50:09. > :50:13.holding the book. You are going to read a passage, which may be touched

:50:14. > :50:18.you in particular but might affect other people. What is it being

:50:19. > :50:24.described? It is called Mother's Day 2013. At the beginning of the book

:50:25. > :50:28.there is Mother's Day 2011, when he expresses... He just wishes his

:50:29. > :50:33.autism would let him buy a flower at the supermarket, to thank his mum

:50:34. > :50:39.for everything she does for him. Two years later, this happens.

:50:40. > :50:44."Sometimes I go out with my special needs help to a local supermarket.

:50:45. > :50:46.Today in the food section I saw they were selling bunches of red

:50:47. > :50:52.carnations the Mother's Day. I thought, I'll would like to buy some

:50:53. > :50:55.for but I wasn't simple simply able to vocalise this thought because it

:50:56. > :50:59.is so hard for me to tell others what I want by speech or gestures.

:51:00. > :51:09.On this occasion, however, I managed to produce this two word line,

:51:10. > :51:12.Carnation, buy. First I played a memory clip of carnations in my

:51:13. > :51:18.head, by playing this clip I was able to say the word Carnation.

:51:19. > :51:23.Next, I access the verb I needed to go with the flour with my thoughts

:51:24. > :51:27.at the time, words like walk, see and think went through my mind, but

:51:28. > :51:31.the fact we were in a supermarket unveiled the word buy. Then I was

:51:32. > :51:35.free to think, that's what I need to say it, and finally I said it.

:51:36. > :51:41.Giving flowers to my mum Mother's Day was a dream I had been

:51:42. > :51:46.harbouring for years and today, one red carnations in a room at home did

:51:47. > :51:51.all my talking for me." . This is what is so interesting about that

:51:52. > :51:54.book, in a sense. It breaks down how people are thinking. It is very easy

:51:55. > :51:58.to meet someone with autism and think they are shut off and not

:51:59. > :52:05.aware of what's going on, or completely blocked from that. This

:52:06. > :52:10.breaks down various ways, what they see, a nonverbal person with autism

:52:11. > :52:16.seas, and finding possible to communicate. We constantly, and

:52:17. > :52:20.perhaps naturally, a communicative disability with a cognitive

:52:21. > :52:24.disability. We judge the value, the intelligence of someone on how they

:52:25. > :52:30.can or cannot articulate themselves. If someone can't speak, then we tend

:52:31. > :52:33.to assume there's not much going on there. But you can see from this

:52:34. > :52:39.book, he has the same emotional range as we do, something which the

:52:40. > :52:43.stereotypical idea of people with autism says they don't, they are

:52:44. > :52:49.unfeeling robots. At the same time, they know what's going on, they have

:52:50. > :52:53.a theory of mind. They get the idea other people minds, looking at and

:52:54. > :52:57.thinking about them. Behind the eat ology of the word autism is the idea

:52:58. > :53:00.there is just one person in the universe and that's you never

:53:01. > :53:07.announces a hatstand. This book tells that on its head. Your son's

:53:08. > :53:13.name? OK, I know you want to keep something that the public domain.

:53:14. > :53:18.How is he, how is he now? He is 11, is doing well. He's not totally

:53:19. > :53:22.nonverbal. It's always hard to say if he is nonverbal or not. He has a

:53:23. > :53:27.vocabulary in English and Japanese are probably a few thousand, but

:53:28. > :53:31.like Naoki, he's never spoken, he's never had a conversation like this.

:53:32. > :53:37.Did this change your relationship with your son? It did them a lot.

:53:38. > :53:40.Specific in some pieces of advice Naoki gives that I do have time to

:53:41. > :53:51.go through now but generally it gives you hope. It was way too there

:53:52. > :53:53.is a lot more behind the speechlessness of autism.

:53:54. > :53:55.Really good to talk to you, David. Thank you very much and good luck.

:53:56. > :53:58.Very nicely read, by the way. There was a bit of pressure put on

:53:59. > :53:59.you before you did that by Charlie, so well done!

:54:00. > :54:01.David's latest translation of Naoki Higashida's book is called

:54:02. > :54:04.Fall Down Seven Times, Get Up Eight.

:54:05. > :54:08.Carol's at Wimbledon with a look at this morning's weather.

:54:09. > :54:17.Good morning. This morning at Wimbledon it is gorgeous, 16 Celsius

:54:18. > :54:22.at the moment. If you take a look through the roof you can see lovely

:54:23. > :54:27.blue skies. Some cloud will develop in the day but it should stay dry.

:54:28. > :54:31.The roof is half closed and we think that is to protect the grass from

:54:32. > :54:36.the direct sunlight but we haven't got a definitive answer on that one.

:54:37. > :54:39.The forecast the Wimbledon today, it should stay dry. Looking at sunshine

:54:40. > :54:43.this morning, a little more cloud building as we go through the course

:54:44. > :54:52.of the day but still sunny spells. Just the outside chance of a shower,

:54:53. > :54:55.so that basically means you will be very unlucky. More than likely going

:54:56. > :54:58.to stay dry with highs into the low 20s. For many parts of the UK today,

:54:59. > :55:02.staying dry. Some showers in the forecast, a few this morning. This

:55:03. > :55:06.morning across the south-east, we have the sunshine. A bit of fair

:55:07. > :55:09.weather cloud. Cloud across the Midlands starting to break up, we

:55:10. > :55:13.have had some showers here this morning. In northern England and

:55:14. > :55:18.Scotland and Northern Ireland, under the clear skies it has been a chilly

:55:19. > :55:24.start. In some parts temperatures overnight fell to three or four. Is

:55:25. > :55:30.now picking up. Moving across the Irish Sea into a fair bit of

:55:31. > :55:32.sunshine around. Here and there pockets of cloud, which could

:55:33. > :55:36.produce just the odd shower. South-west England, a similar story,

:55:37. > :55:39.variable amounts of cloud, some sunny skies, outside chance of a

:55:40. > :55:43.shower. We have had some showers this morning across Gloucestershire

:55:44. > :55:47.and Wiltshire. They will tend to fade and as we drift further east in

:55:48. > :55:51.the home Counties and southern counties, some sunshine and that

:55:52. > :55:55.cloud, which will break up. Through this morning, a lot of sunshine

:55:56. > :55:59.around. As we head into the afternoon, seeing more cloud

:56:00. > :56:03.building, more showers in Wales, England, eastern Scotland and

:56:04. > :56:06.Northern Ireland. Not all of us will be seeing these showers by any

:56:07. > :56:11.stretch. Most of us will stay dry. By the end of the afternoon we will

:56:12. > :56:14.be looking at another weather front coming in in Northern Ireland and

:56:15. > :56:19.western Scotland introducing some rain. That rain will continue to

:56:20. > :56:22.drift south-eastwards overnight, weakening as it does so,

:56:23. > :56:25.particularly as it gets to the south of England. Temperatures around

:56:26. > :56:43.10-15. Not such a sticky night as we have had in the

:56:44. > :56:45.south-east. Tomorrow, very similar weather to today. Starting with some

:56:46. > :56:48.sunshine, some cloud building through the day. Some of us seeing

:56:49. > :56:50.some showers and by the end of the day a new weather front coming into

:56:51. > :56:52.Scotland and Northern Ireland, introducing some rain. Temperatures

:56:53. > :56:55.if anything tomorrow, up a little on what we're seeing today. The rain in

:56:56. > :56:57.the north-west of the UK Friday and Saturday will move quite swiftly

:56:58. > :57:01.southward, weakening as it does. Not much rain in the South at all.

:57:02. > :57:05.Saturday, looking like a cloudy day then we have been used to. Still

:57:06. > :57:10.some sunny spells around. 12-macro showers, but some rain in the north

:57:11. > :57:14.and west. One thing you will notice, decree of your coming to Wimbledon

:57:15. > :57:18.on Saturday and Sunday, in the south of the country it will turn a bit

:57:19. > :57:24.hotter and more humid. Temperatures back in the range of 25-28. I think

:57:25. > :57:30.that kind of level is where Sally likes it. You don't like it chilly

:57:31. > :57:34.at 23. I still have my coat on! It is getting warmer. We've been

:57:35. > :57:39.talking a lot this money about Jo Konte and not the only British

:57:40. > :57:42.player in action today, in the doubles and the wheelchair

:57:43. > :57:47.tournament starts today. Gordon Reid, the defending champion, starts

:57:48. > :57:50.the defence of his title today and we sent Mike to have a go and see if

:57:51. > :57:56.he could beat the raining champion. What chance do think he's got?

:57:57. > :57:59.Gliding on grass, one of the quickest men on wheels,

:58:00. > :58:05.His name is the only one, so far, on the men's Wimbledon singles

:58:06. > :58:10.trophy in wheelchair tennis, after the singles event

:58:11. > :58:16.To be the first-ever winner, and be the first name on the trophy

:58:17. > :58:20.So you've got to make sure it's on there again, then, this year?

:58:21. > :58:24.Yeah, I was saying to my dad the other day and he was like,

:58:25. > :58:27.no one else's name will be on there if you go and win

:58:28. > :58:32.I think if you ask any British player, playing at Wimbledon,

:58:33. > :58:38.For me, last year, we had the outside courts we played on,

:58:39. > :58:44.They make it look so effortless, which is why Gordon has

:58:45. > :58:47.challenged me to sit in a tennis chair, just to see how difficult

:58:48. > :58:52.And, of course, you have your tennis racket in hand as well.

:58:53. > :59:05.When you're on the grass court, it's much thicker and your tyres,

:59:06. > :59:07.so you lose all momentum, a metre in front of you,

:59:08. > :59:10.so you're always having to generate the power and always

:59:11. > :59:13.push your own body weight around, which just makes it a lot more

:59:14. > :59:15.demanding on your arms and your shoulders.

:59:16. > :59:17.They say the first pushes the hardest push, because just

:59:18. > :59:20.a small area of grass, it seems to take the most monumental

:59:21. > :59:27.First tip, yeah, you want to be pointing in the sort of diagonal

:59:28. > :59:34.direction of which ever side you want to play the shot.

:59:35. > :59:37.You are allowed two bounces, though, in wheelchair tennis.

:59:38. > :59:39.That's straight down his throat, it's coming back at me.

:59:40. > :59:46.Positioning, how you carry your racket when you're

:59:47. > :59:49.moving your wheels, the immense strength it takes.

:59:50. > :59:52.Crikey, no wonder this is seen as one of the greatest

:59:53. > :59:58.And this is why Britain's other Wimbledon wheelchair champion,

:59:59. > :00:01.Jordanne Whiley, faces a challenge to be at the peak of her fitness

:00:02. > :00:04.after eight months out with illness and injury.

:00:05. > :00:07.Normally I would train Monday to Friday, around three

:00:08. > :00:09.or four hours a day, including gym as well.

:00:10. > :00:13.And I haven't really been doing that.

:00:14. > :00:16.I've been trying to do as much as I can, without injuring myself

:00:17. > :00:18.before the grass season, because the grass

:00:19. > :00:23.I haven't been doing the hours on court that I would have liked,

:00:24. > :00:29.Jordanne feels her dream of being singles champion

:00:30. > :00:32.at Wimbledon this year may be just out of reach.

:00:33. > :00:35.As were most shots for me, as I got stuck on the grass,

:00:36. > :00:52.Well done for having a go and good luck to everybody, all the British

:00:53. > :00:58.players and everybody else on this big day today. I should point out,

:00:59. > :01:02.Carol, one thing I have noticed, the grass on centre court is looking a

:01:03. > :01:05.little bit tired in places already. It has taken a pasting with the

:01:06. > :01:08.weather as well. A technical term, it has taken a

:01:09. > :01:13.pasting! And the other place it has is Henman

:01:14. > :01:27.Hill, all Murray Mount, depending which you want to call it, and with

:01:28. > :01:29.all the British player today it will be heaving but yesterday the

:01:30. > :01:32.tendency at Wimbledon was 38,348 people, roughly 2000 more than this

:01:33. > :01:34.time on the same day last year. It was definitely very busy on Bay

:01:35. > :01:40.Hill, you could not move. Once you had your spot, you literally could

:01:41. > :01:43.not leave it. Somebody told me they had been asked

:01:44. > :01:47.to move their shoes, which they had taken off, and once they had lifted

:01:48. > :01:50.their shoes the person sat down in the same spot.

:01:51. > :02:02.You would need big shoes to sit down in the same spot!

:02:03. > :02:07.I would need big shoes, not you, Sally!

:02:08. > :02:11.You are digging a big hole! I was going to give you a compliment

:02:12. > :02:13.and say Sally is the most appropriately dressed because I do

:02:14. > :02:18.believe it is chilly in the morning so well done for having the jacket.

:02:19. > :02:20.Carol is the best dressed in terms of matching her surroundings,

:02:21. > :02:25.because you are pure Wimbledon today, Carol.

:02:26. > :02:30.Wimbledon colours! But I've been a little bit hurt by

:02:31. > :02:38.not getting anything right so I'm throwing a fact back at you today,

:02:39. > :02:45.38,348 people attended yesterday, up 2000, I was listening to you. How

:02:46. > :02:54.many strawberries did they eat? I think it was probably...

:02:55. > :02:59.100,000. 105,037.5.

:03:00. > :03:04.I believe you, I don't know the answer either!

:03:05. > :03:07.Oh, we don't have the answer? No, I just wanted to see if they

:03:08. > :03:13.would answer! That was a terrible question, Naga!

:03:14. > :03:15.It's all change at London's Natural History Museum.

:03:16. > :03:20.Its world-famous central display, Dippy the dinosaur, has gone,

:03:21. > :03:23.That there is a replacement and it is also very big.

:03:24. > :03:28.Breakfast's Tim Muffett is there, with something equally spectacular?

:03:29. > :03:39.Yes, look at this, the staff of the Natural History Museum, many getting

:03:40. > :03:45.their first glimpse of Drippy, the 23 metre blue whale skeleton which

:03:46. > :03:51.replaces Dippy the dinosaur which has been here since 1979. A

:03:52. > :03:55.magnificent sight. Let's chat to the director of science and head of

:03:56. > :04:05.conservation. Why did you move dippy and bring in Hope? DP was wonderful

:04:06. > :04:14.but a plaster cast, where as Hope is a real skeleton so we can really

:04:15. > :04:19.educate people. Hope is our largest and most wonderful specimen. The

:04:20. > :04:24.logistics of moving her must have been fantastic, she was beached in

:04:25. > :04:28.Wexford in Ireland in 1981, how did you move her? In many cranes, she

:04:29. > :04:35.came to the museum, she was too big to go in any galleries, we built the

:04:36. > :04:38.mammal Hall in 1934, we put her in with a model underneath, visitors

:04:39. > :04:44.come and see the model but don't really see her so we wanted to bring

:04:45. > :04:49.her down and put her in a new space, a new pose, diving, lunge feeding,

:04:50. > :04:53.dynamic, she is our largest specimen and our most magnificent specimen in

:04:54. > :04:58.here today and she tells the story of hope for us, which is the message

:04:59. > :05:01.we want to bring. Ian, you are the director of science, why is the blue

:05:02. > :05:06.whale such an important species to focus on and showcase? We think it

:05:07. > :05:10.sends a hopeful message about the future, we wanted a specimen that

:05:11. > :05:15.talks about the past, the present and the future, and the blue whale

:05:16. > :05:19.of course, when this creature was alive there were perhaps 250,000 in

:05:20. > :05:24.the world's oceans, hunted down to perhaps a few hundred, and now,

:05:25. > :05:28.through humans saving them, up to around 25,000, so we hope that the

:05:29. > :05:32.message is that if you make the right decisions and act on them you

:05:33. > :05:36.can make a difference to the world. They are such magnificent creatures,

:05:37. > :05:40.the largest animals on earth, and even bigger in scale than the

:05:41. > :05:45.dinosaurs, I was surprised to know? That is right, the blue whale is the

:05:46. > :05:49.largest animal ever to have lived by mass, and amazing animal, and that

:05:50. > :05:52.is part of having the wow factor, we don't want people to feel they come

:05:53. > :05:57.here and are being lectured, we want them to come here, be excited, just

:05:58. > :06:01.like they were by Dippy, but then ask a series of questions about the

:06:02. > :06:09.natural world, their role in the natural world, and so on. Lorraine,

:06:10. > :06:12.do you think when people come in here, Dippy was so synonymous with

:06:13. > :06:18.the Natural History Museum, wasn't she, do you think Hope will have the

:06:19. > :06:21.same impact? I think Hope will have a greater impact, we still have

:06:22. > :06:26.dinosaurs on display, original dinosaurs, one on display in this

:06:27. > :06:30.gallery, but I think Hope will have a great impact because she has this

:06:31. > :06:33.amazing message as well about us as a species saving other species. We

:06:34. > :06:35.have caused a lot of harm in the world and she is a great message for

:06:36. > :07:04.us to say it within our power to do great

:07:05. > :07:06.things. Lorraine, Ian, thank you both very much. Lovely to see the

:07:07. > :07:09.star Pierre, some of them have not been able to see the skeleton in

:07:10. > :07:12.situ until now. If you want to know more about the story of the skeleton

:07:13. > :08:54.and Dippy has, there is a special Horizon

:08:55. > :09:01.Joe McElderry has been performing to sell-out audiences

:09:02. > :09:03.in the lead role in Joseph And His Amazing

:09:04. > :09:05.Technicolour Dreamcoat, while at the same time putting

:09:06. > :09:09.The former X Factor winner has compiled songs from the movies,

:09:10. > :09:17.# I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes

:09:18. > :09:30.# And love is all around me, and so the feeling grows

:09:31. > :09:38.# It's written in the wind, it's everywhere I go

:09:39. > :09:50.# So if you really love me, come on and let it show...

:09:51. > :10:01.Welcome, Joe, how are you? Very well. Why this album now, because

:10:02. > :10:04.you are very busy in Joseph, how have you find the time to do this? I

:10:05. > :10:07.was working with the wonderful Bill Kenwright giving Joseph and we

:10:08. > :10:11.wanted to go to the studio and acknowledge what a wonderful time we

:10:12. > :10:14.have had working together so we all compiled our favourite movie songs

:10:15. > :10:20.and show tunes and went into the studio on a Sunday and Monday in a

:10:21. > :10:24.break between shows of Joseph, we do ten shows a week without, and

:10:25. > :10:28.recorded the album, January, February and March I did it. And

:10:29. > :10:34.they are all linked to films, that is the thread running through. That

:10:35. > :10:38.is a big plating, you look at the great movie soundtracks, songs in

:10:39. > :10:44.the movies, how on earth do you combine the ones that you want to

:10:45. > :10:50.do? We all sat down with huge lists, I Don't Want To Miss A Thing is one

:10:51. > :10:55.of my favourite songs, and Love Is All Around is one of the first songs

:10:56. > :10:58.are used to think when I started performing, I think the only karaoke

:10:59. > :11:03.backing track I could get off the Internet! So I learned it had a very

:11:04. > :11:07.young age, about 14, and we whittled down the list, went into the studio

:11:08. > :11:12.and tried to do the songs. It is interesting that you used to sing at

:11:13. > :11:15.karaoke because the danger of putting out albums like this with

:11:16. > :11:20.such popular songs that people know the boys is already is that it

:11:21. > :11:25.sounds like an imitation and not quite the real thing, so how much do

:11:26. > :11:30.you make it your own and how much are you very true to the original

:11:31. > :11:37.Soundtrack? Well, a few years ago I did a classical crossover with the

:11:38. > :11:42.same vibe, which took on huge famous arias and very well-known songs, and

:11:43. > :11:48.I think the key to making it sound you own is also not taking it too

:11:49. > :11:51.far away from the original, and obviously I came off a TV show on X

:11:52. > :11:55.Factor, we sang huge covers every week so people know me for that as

:11:56. > :11:58.well, I have done my own material as well but it is about finding a

:11:59. > :12:03.balance between modernising it but keeping in touch with the original.

:12:04. > :12:09.It is a while ago now, 2009? Eight years ago! Does it feel like a long

:12:10. > :12:13.time ago, like another life? It does, in some ways it feels like

:12:14. > :12:17.yesterday but I feel like such a lot has happened in a short space of

:12:18. > :12:22.time and I also feel so much older! I feel like I have been around ages

:12:23. > :12:28.but it is not that long ago! Are you sensitive about your age? No, I'm

:12:29. > :12:34.26. Only 26?! You don't need to be sensitive about

:12:35. > :12:39.your age at 26! That question was more for us, really! What next,

:12:40. > :12:45.then? Is this just a little tangent...

:12:46. > :12:48.? The album comes out soon and then we are going across the country

:12:49. > :12:54.throughout the summer, pretty much everywhere, Manchester, Edinburgh,

:12:55. > :12:59.Southampton, Brighton, everywhere, so you can find out...

:13:00. > :13:02.Do you know what song I would sing in the unlikely event of me bringing

:13:03. > :13:04.out songs of the movies with me thinking...

:13:05. > :13:12.We have been trying to guess this all morning will stop have a guest?

:13:13. > :13:16.All we got was that the first word begins with B.

:13:17. > :13:24.I will tell you because we don't have much time, Born Free. Do you

:13:25. > :13:26.know that song? I think I do... Job doesn't even know it! That would be

:13:27. > :13:31.my song, anyway! we could all do with knowing

:13:32. > :13:42.how to make the most of our cash. So we've found simple advice for you

:13:43. > :13:48.to do just that and taken it to
