New measures to tackle a rise in drug-related deaths. | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
The government says it will target so-called legal highs and provide | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
more help for addicts in its first strategy re-think for seven years. | :00:17. | :00:31. | |
Good morning, it's Friday the 14th of July. | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
Five people are attacked with corrosive | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
substances in London in the space of 90 minutes, | :00:39. | :00:41. | |

Actor Mark Rylance tells us how he thinks the spirit of Dunkirk | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
depicted in his latest film has been reflected in recent events. | :00:50. | :00:57. | |
These recent disasters in Manchester and London, the two disasters in | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
London, have made us all so much more aware of civilian involvement | :01:04. | :01:10. | |
and the selflessness and bravery of the civilian rescue services. | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
Those controversial ticket re-selling websites. | :01:13. | :01:17. | |

At Wimbledon the dream is over for Johanna Konta but she remains | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
defiant. The British number one remains confident she can win the | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
women's singles one-day in years to come after she lost her semi-final | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
yesterday to the five-time champion Venus Williams. Venus is rising | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
again and given I'm squinting, so is the son? Today for many after a | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
cloudy start we're looking at a sunny day, sunny intervals, a few | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
showers but later we will see rain coming into the north-west and later | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
Mike and I will be back with more later in the programme. | :01:58. | :01:58. | |
The Home Secretary Amber Rudd has launched a new strategy to tackle | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
illegal drug use after what the Home Office calls | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
a dramatic increase in the number of deaths from drugs in England | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
The strategy focuses on helping addicts to recover | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
and makes clear there'll be no legal changes to decriminalise | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
The entire strategy applies to England, | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
some parts of it also affect the rest of the UK. | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
Our home affairs correspondent, Danny Shaw, reports. | :02:21. | :02:28. | |
Enforcing the law on drugs. Police raids against dealers have been the | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
traditional way of clamping down on the drugs trade. It's estimated to | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
cost the UK ?10.7 billion a year. And the new government drugs | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
strategy says that approach will continue along with renewed efforts | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
to get people off drugs. That's what they do at the Harbour Centre in | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
London. Support people affected by drugs and help them rebuild their | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
lives. The Home Secretary Amber Rudd visited the centre this week. She | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
said her drugs strategy will focus on recovery. | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
People who are recovering from drugs often need help with housing, they | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
need help with employment, they might have mental health | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
difficulties and with this strategy we've acknowledged that, we've | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
embraced that, I set out clear expectations for local authorities | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
about working with recovery to make sure that these additional elements | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
are supplied. The 2017 drug strategy is the first for seven years. It | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
says there should be treatment tailored to the needs of drug users. | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
A new national recovery champion will help to automate services. And | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
there will be measures to deal with new drug threats, including services | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
intended to enhance the experience of having sex. Amber Rudd's | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
involvement in a new cross government drugs strategy board will | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
give the plans political impetus, but she is said to disappoint people | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
who say drug possession should no longer be a crime. Danny Shaw, BBC | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
News. We'll be speaking to the Home Office | :04:00. | :03:59. | |
minister Sarah Newton about this Police in east London | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
are investigating five attacks which involved corrosive substances | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
being thrown in people's faces. One of the victims has what's been | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
described as life changing They all happened within | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
90 minutes in Hackney This was the scene of the most | :04:19. | :04:32. | |
serious attack last night, the victim was delivering takeaway food | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
when a pair of men try to steal his mopeds. Police say a corrosive | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
substance was growing in his face. Lee was taken to hospital with what | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
they described as life changing injuries. In the space of just over | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
an hour police were alerted to five similar attacks, the motive on each | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
occasion seems to be robbery. Police believe they are linked. Acid | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
attacks in England have doubled since 2012. 21-year-old Resham Khan | :04:58. | :05:06. | |
and her cousin Jameel Muhktar were attacked shortly after they had been | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
celebrating her 21st birthday in East Londonderry. Acid was burning | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
through the window of her car -- is London. My face started melting, my | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
clothes started to burn, my clothes started sticking to me and there was | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
smoke coming out of the seats. Mopeds crime is also on the | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
increase, especially in London. Delivery drivers in east London say | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
they've been faced by an escalating crime wave from knife wielding | :05:31. | :05:31. | |
gangs. Andy Moore, BBC News. The Scottish and Welsh governments | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
have threatened to block the key Brexit bill which will convert | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
all existing EU laws into UK law over what they say is a power | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
grab by Westminster. The Repeal Bill is also facing | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
opposition from Labour and other Our political correspondent | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
Chris Mason joins us now Good morning, Chris. This is seeming | :05:49. | :06:00. | |
to be a thing attack from all sides here? 360 degrees of scrutiny for | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
the government on its blueprint for Brexit, outlined yesterday in the | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
European Union withdrawal bill, the repeal bill, the big cut and paste | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
exercise where all of those laws the UK signed up to as part of being a | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
member of the European Union get cut and pasted, so on our first day | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
outside the EU there are still laws covering all the areas the EU up to | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
now has been power to set laws on. But also some controversy about that | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
process. As you were saying, concern from the Scottish and Welsh | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
governments, concern from Labour and some conservatives about exactly how | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
it might work. Concern from others about the lack of opportunity to | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
scrutinise some of the changes because of how much has to happen so | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
quickly. One remark I will bring you from a Labour peer, Lord Adonis, | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
gives you a sense of the heightened language about this. He compares | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
leaving the economic institutions of the EU, the single market and | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
customs union, as being as big a mistake as appeasement in the 1930s. | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
Chris, thanks very much. Chris Mayne send there. | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
Crowds are expected to line the streets for the funeral | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
The six-year-old Sunderland fan won a legion of supporters | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
across the country, including footballer Jermain Defoe who has | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
left training in Spain to be at the funeral. | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
Bradley died last Friday after suffering from a rare cancer. | :07:22. | :07:31. | |
President Trump will be the guest of honour at the Bastille Day | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
He's marking France's National Day at the invitation of the country's | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
The two leaders will watch the traditional military parade | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
which, this year, has French soldiers marching | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
There will be some extraordinary scenes today, we can see some of the | :07:44. | :07:57. | |
buildup behind you? Indeed. I'm on the Champs-Elysee and you can see | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
preparations were under way, they've been under way all-night. As I | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
cycled in half an hour ago there were military police has issued over | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
the city marshalling the tanks, troops, the rest of the kit into | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
bits around the Champs-Elysee and in a couple of hours from now they will | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
stop processing down and you can see a line of APCs and other vehicles, | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
in that direction I can see men in uniform, they look like firefighters | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
and sailors gathering. The big event in the national year will take | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
place, a couple of hours from now, with Donald Trump at the far end at | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
the Place de la Concorde sitting in the place of honour next to Emmanuel | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
Macron. 200 American soldiers leading off the parade, which of | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
course marks 100 years since the entry of America in World War I. For | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
the moment, thank you. Police in the south-west of England | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
have launched the UK's first dedicated drone-unit to help them | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
find missing people, deal with road accidents | :09:01. | :09:02. | |
and tackle major incidents. A helicopter can cost | :09:03. | :09:04. | |
hundreds of pounds per hour but the remote-controlled, | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
miniature alternative, provides an eye-in-the-sky | :09:08. | :09:08. | |
for a fraction of the price. Our home affairs correspondent | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
Daniel Sandford has more. Police drones seemed like a novelty | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
only a few years ago, but Devon and Cornwall | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
Police and Dorset Police have now jointly launched Britain's | :09:18. | :09:19. | |
first dedicated drone unit. Soon they'll have five aerial | :09:20. | :09:21. | |
cameras available 24 hours a day. It can do exactly the | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
same as a helicopter quicker if we are dealing | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
with an incident in Penzance we have one | :09:35. | :09:47. | |
in the back of a car. We can put the drone out as quick | :09:48. | :09:49. | |
as we can and request a helicopter. The unit recorded these incredible | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
pictures of a fire in Exeter last October and are doing more | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
and more jobs which previously could only be done with a police | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
helicopter, which costs Put Simply, a drone | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
is a cost-effective way for police different perspective on an area | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
that's searching for a missing person or in crime scenes | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
or the scene of a disaster And officers are hoping that soon | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
they will be able to download live pictures from drones direct | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
to the force's main control rooms. There's a patent for a mini drone, | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
perched on a police officer's shoulder, which can be voice | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
activated to help gather evidence. In whatever form, these | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
drones with flying cameras are about to become an everyday | :10:28. | :10:29. | |
sight in British policing. A heatwave across southern Europe | :10:30. | :10:46. | |
has forced some of the region's most famous tourist sites to close | :10:47. | :10:54. | |
during peak holiday season. More than twenty fires have started | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
near Naples and Sicily where the temperatures have climbed | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
above 40 degrees celsius this week. The Greek government has ordered | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
that popular archaeological sites close during the hot weather, | :11:04. | :11:05. | |
and in southern Spain, the drought has devastated | :11:06. | :11:07. | |
crops and seven provinces Temperatures will reach 46 | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
degrees in Cordoba today. An engaged couple from Bristol | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
landed themselves in hospital after practicing the famous | :11:15. | :11:16. | |
lift from Dirty Dancing Both Andy and Sharon were released | :11:17. | :11:18. | |
a few hours later unharmed. a little less strenuous for the big | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
day. I think they said he was knocked | :11:23. | :11:40. | |
out. It's one of those things you sort of | :11:41. | :11:51. | |
look back on and have a laugh but you don't expect it to happen. | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
Perhaps we're getting a bit too old for it! | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
Sometimes it's almost better when they go wrong than when they go | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
right! Let's go over to Wimbledon, we are | :12:02. | :12:10. | |
in that kind of mood. Who are you playing with? I've made friends with | :12:11. | :12:19. | |
a carp, a fish, it has disappeared, oh, no, there he is. He keeps | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
talking, opening his mouth, do it again, there we are, can you see | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
him? Beautiful. On the top of Henman Hill, Murray Mouth, the water | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
features there, a friendly carp, very calming by the water feature | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
because after the tension of yesterday, Johanna Konta's | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
semi-final, so tense but in the end the dream is over. Disappointment | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
but there's beaming chic and one day go on and win the title -- there's a | :12:47. | :12:58. | |
feeling here one-day. Venus Williams is the oldest finalist since | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
Navratilova in 1994. She was beaten by one of those people that has | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
ruled the courts over these years so no shame. Johanna Konta was roared | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
on by thousands are peer on Henman Hill, Murray Mount, and also those | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
on centre court and we caught up with some of those fans after the | :13:16. | :13:17. | |
match. She played well but obviously not | :13:18. | :13:24. | |
well enough. Disappointing. Gutted. Gutted, but she'll be back. | :13:25. | :13:31. | |
I was a bit sceptical when the draw came out that she would manage to | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
win at all, but she put up a good fight. | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
She was slightly overawed by the occasion. Venus Williams is no | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
slouch. Bit devastating to Seaport Konta lose but Venus is on top form | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
as ever so fair enough for her to be back in the final I guess -- see | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
poor. Venus read the Serbs really well, stepping in and hitting early | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
and Konta didn't have the time to react. Impressed with Venus, sad | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
Konta didn't make it, but good luck to Venus in the final -- serves. | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
Those sentiments reflected in the morning papers, one of the back | :14:07. | :14:14. | |
pages, I will win it one day, Konta's vow after crashing out to | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
Venus. A warning from Greg Rusedski to Andy Murray, who went out in the | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
quarter-finals, he is warning that Murray should take a big rest or | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
perhaps run the gauntlet of never winning again and Greg Rusedski is | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
urging Murray he should miss the US in September. That's to try to | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
recover properly now he's in his thirties. This is interesting in the | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
Guardian, I've featured this before, on the training course I've been for | :14:41. | :14:48. | |
ball boys and Bald Hills, May will have to be trained for the | :14:49. | :14:50. | |
superstitions some players have -- ball girl is -- they will. Rafa | :14:51. | :14:58. | |
Nadal has water bottles all lined up in a certain order -- ball girl is. | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
In the future they will have to train the ball boys and ball girl is | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
to deal with those strippers did in is. Carol has joined me by our pond, | :15:07. | :15:14. | |
it does say deep water, no bathing, you can come and meet Konta the | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
Carp. Not looking to healthy! I think you have put her off! | :15:20. | :15:26. | |
Talking of dazzling, the sunshine will be dazzling. Today is not | :15:27. | :15:33. | |
looking bad. In Wimbledon, it is dry with some cloud around and further | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
cloud through the day, that is the forecast for Wimbledon. There will | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
also be sunny spells as well. Temperatures around 20- 21, maybe | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
more, with a late is. Some of us start with a little cloud this | :15:47. | :15:54. | |
morning. -- late breezes. There will be sunny spells and just a few | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
showers developing. We start across the south of England at 9am. Similar | :15:59. | :16:05. | |
to Wimbledon, blue skies, cloud, one or two showers, by no means is | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
everyone seeing them. Then into northern England, we have breaks in | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
the cloud, sunshine first thing. Not feeling chilly for most of us. | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
Scotland could catch a shallow but the odd one only, with a dry and | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
bright start with sunshine -- shower. The same for Northern | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
Ireland. In the sunshine, temperatures pick up quickly. The | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
odd shower in Wales coming out of the thick cloud but we will see that | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
brighten up through the day. South-west England, heading towards | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
Gloucestershire, Hampshire, we are looking at the mixture of sunny | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
spells, bright spells, meaning you will see a little cloud in the sky. | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
In the sunshine, September to picking up nicely. Through the | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
course of the day for many of us, especially late morning into the | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
afternoon, the sun will come out, the cloud will break and as | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
temperatures rise we are looking at a few showers developing. They will | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
be fairly scattered. And a weather front coming across western Scotland | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
and Northern Ireland. That is going to introduce a range. In the | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
sunshine, highs of up to 20- 22, maybe 23. Through the evening and | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
overnight this front in Scotland and Northern Ireland moves south | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
eastwards, taking rain with it. It won't be as cold in the north as the | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
one just gone. It will be dry further south and it will be cooler | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
than the one just gone. Tomorrow we have to front coming this way, the | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
first continuing into the east, with a lot of cloud and drizzle, as it | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
moves away we see bright spells behind it and then another fund | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
comes in across the north-west, introducing cloud and splashes of | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
rain -- front. In Wales, it will be dry with sunshine and it will start | :17:52. | :17:59. | |
to feel more humid. As we move into Sunday, we have that weather front | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
of sinking southwards, it is a weak creature, so it will produce cloud | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
and drizzle. For northern England it will brighten up with one or two | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
showers -- it is a weak feature. As the weather front sinks south as a | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
weak feature it will introduce cloud and showers. Temperatures climbing. | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
We could hit 27 in the south-east on Sunday. If you like it hot, on | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
Tuesday, somewhere around London area might be back up close to the | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
30 mark, if not 30 mark itself. Then we will see thunderstorms. That is | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
how it is looking at the moment. Thank you very much. See you later | :18:38. | :18:42. | |

Breakfast from BBC News. The main stories this morning: | :18:47. | :18:47. | |
A rise in drug related deaths prompts a new government strategy | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
to provide more help for addicts Five people are attacked | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
with corrosive substances in London in the space of 90 minutes - | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
police say one person has received Good morning. We will take a look at | :18:58. | :19:16. | |
the front pages. The Daily Mail looking at a shakeup of 999 and it | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
says that means that there could be slow response times. It says a major | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
overhaul of the 999 service says that the eight minute response | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
target will be scrapped and people will have to wait 18 minutes and it | :19:34. | :19:40. | |
says those at risk, those at threat with a heart attack. The Times has | :19:41. | :19:48. | |
an image on the Trump visit to Paris, and wrecks it, in relation to | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
the bill on EU laws on the front of the Telegraph, also showing pictures | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
of the Trump visit. At a picture of her on the front of the Daily Mail, | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
and the front of the Guardian, Johanna Konta losing 6-4, 6-2 to | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
Venus Williams, despite the crowd being with her. She has said she had | :20:07. | :20:14. | |
has it in her to win the ladies' final at Wimbledon. The story, the | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
PM's EU Repeal Bill dismissed as a power grab. We will speak to people | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
through the day on how they feel about that. It is hot today. Yes. 46 | :20:24. | :20:32. | |
degrees in Spain? Very hot. Just... I thought that was a bit... A bit | :20:33. | :20:39. | |
saucy for a moment. It is OK. It is fine. He has his trunks on. It is | :20:40. | :20:46. | |
absolutely fine. I just had to double take that one. Looking at the | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
business pages today, lots of them focusing on the same story, the | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
warning from the Bank of England yesterday about households going... | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
Well, defaulting on credit card debts. That means if you are 90 days | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
late for payment. It seems to be that we are getting to the highest | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
rate since the financial crisis in 2009. Not great news. The Bank of | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
England are concerned more families will get into that situation in the | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
coming months. Have you pick something up on the inside? Do you | :21:18. | :21:24. | |
remember the whole macaque monkey selfie, where the monkey grab the | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
photographer's camera. Well, this photographer is now being taken | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
through the courts by the people for ethical treatment of animals on | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
behalf of the macaque, and they say that it was an abuse of the animal. | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
He is talking about the consequences of that. And that was the selfie | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
which, as people remember, was very good. And that row over who owned | :21:48. | :21:54. | |
the picture. This is it. Did the macaque monkey have the rights? It | :21:55. | :22:02. | |
is a peculiar story. There is a lot of interest in President Trump's | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
visit to Paris. This is a still from the dinner they had halfway up the | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
Eiffel Tower. If you are interested in a meal at the Daily Mail says a | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
five course meal halfway up the Eiffel Tower, ?170 ahead. 170 - I | :22:17. | :22:25. | |
don't know. I would have thought it would be more. | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
Last night, acting royalty mingled with, well, royalty at the premiere | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
of the new World War Two blockbuster Dunkirk. | :22:33. | :22:34. | |
Singer Harry Styles, who is making his acting debut | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
in the film, shaking hands with Prince Harry on the red carpet. | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
The film focuses on the Dunkirk evacuation, when civilian sailors | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
crossed the English Channel to rescue troops trapped | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
I spoke to director Christopher Nolan and actor | :22:49. | :22:55. | |
Sir Mark Rylance, who told me the bravery shown during the recent | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
disasters in London and Manchester was reminiscent of that famous | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
The enemy tanks have stopped. Why? Why waste precious tanks when they | :23:02. | :23:18. | |
can pick us off in the air like fish in a barrel? What was the moment for | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
you as a director, or a human being, the moment when you thought there is | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
a story about Dunkirk, well-known as it is historically, a story that I | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
can tell? For me it was myself and Emma, my producer, we made a trip 20 | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
years ago on a friend's small boat. He wanted to make a crossing at the | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
time the evacuation had taken place. It was incredibly rough felt very | :23:44. | :23:50. | |
difficult, very dangerous, and that was without people dropping bombs on | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
us. We were not heading to a war zone, we were going to present-day | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
Dunkirk. A call went out. We have to go to Dunkirk. Ready. What are you | :23:59. | :24:05. | |
doing? Where are we going? Into war, George. These recent disasters in | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
Manchester and London, the two disasters in London, have made us so | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
much more aware of civilian involvement and the selflessness and | :24:16. | :24:18. | |
bravery of the civilian rescue services. Where are we going? | :24:19. | :24:28. | |
Dunkirk. They will come back. There is no hiding from this. I wanted to | :24:29. | :24:37. | |
build a story using three different timelines land, sea and air. You are | :24:38. | :24:45. | |
in a Spitfire, you are on the beach, you are on a boat with Mark Rylance, | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
coming to help with the evacuation. We cross cut between these timelines | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
to try to build up a coherent picture of the bigger events of | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
Dunkirk without jumping out of the intense human experience. It is a | :24:59. | :25:04. | |
film that begs questions of yourself. What would you have done? | :25:05. | :25:11. | |
Yeah, I have a cousin who was among the first rescue services in the | :25:12. | :25:18. | |
Grenfell Tower. And he accounted decision is fine and had to make in | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
that terrible staircase on whether to carry on or rescue people who | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
were there. And the film, for each of the three stories in the film, | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
the characters get to a moment where they have to make a crucial | :25:33. | :25:35. | |
decision, which will affect some people and other people. And someone | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
or a view people will be sacrificed in order to save other people. | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
Terrible, terrible decision. Torpedo! We need to send more ships. | :25:47. | :25:56. | |
You have made some huge films in the past, but making a film about a | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
real-life event, especially this event, brings with it extra | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
responsibilities in terms of what you are depicting and whether it is | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
true and what you are trying to do. How do you handle that? Well, you do | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
a lot of research, you do a lot of reading. You try to get it under | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
your fingers. And then I chose fictional characters to guide us | :26:20. | :26:22. | |
through those events and that freed me up as a filmmaker. I wasn't | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
putting words into people's males who existed. I wasn't speaking for | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
people who couldn't speak for themselves. Last week I did a | :26:31. | :26:33. | |
screening for veterans and people who had been there on the beach and | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
standing in front of that audience about to show the film was one of | :26:38. | :26:40. | |
the most daunting professional experiences I have had. Christopher, | :26:41. | :26:41. | |
thank you very much. It is a film on an extraordinary | :26:42. | :26:51. | |
scale and very interesting Christopher Nolan, the way he told | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
the story through the eyes of two young soldiers. We will hear more | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
from the actors who played those roles, fin whitehead, and Harry | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
Styles, who is acting and there will be more on tomorrow's programme -- | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
Finn Whitehead. That story is told through their eyes. Looks like a | :27:12. | :27:12. | |
very big production. Now, though, it's back | :27:13. | :30:33. | |
to Charlie and Naga. with Charlie Stayt and Naga | :30:34. | :30:39. | |

over but there's still plenty of tennis for us | :30:48. | :30:52. | |
to get excited about. We'll be live on Henman Hill | :30:53. | :30:54. | |
and looking ahead to From one great summer | :30:55. | :30:57. | |

speaking to the legendary Sir David Attenborough | :31:16. | :31:18. | |
about his fears for the UK's butterfly population | :31:19. | :31:20. | |
and what you can do to help But now a summary of this | :31:21. | :31:23. | |
morning's main news: The Home Office has launched | :31:24. | :31:28. | |
a new strategy to tackle illegal drug use, with tailored treatment | :31:29. | :31:31. | |
to be given to drug addicts. It follows a rise in | :31:32. | :31:34. | |
drug-related deaths in England and Wales and targets | :31:35. | :31:36. | |
new psychoactive substances. The Home Secretary Amber Rudd said | :31:37. | :31:38. | |
the plan will focus on recovery. Police raids against dealers have | :31:39. | :31:54. | |
been the traditional way of clamping It's estimated to cost the UK | :31:55. | :31:59. | |
?10.7 billion a year. And the new government drug strategy | :32:00. | :32:03. | |
says that approach will continue along with renewed efforts | :32:04. | :32:06. | |
to get people off drugs. That's what they do | :32:07. | :32:08. | |
at the Harbour Centre in London. Support people affected by drugs | :32:09. | :32:17. | |
and help them rebuild their lives. The Home Secretary Amber Rudd | :32:18. | :32:19. | |
visited the centre this week. She said her drugs strategy | :32:20. | :32:22. | |
will focus on recovery. People who are recovering from drugs | :32:23. | :32:25. | |
often need help with housing, they need help with employment, | :32:26. | :32:28. | |
they might have mental health difficulties and in this strategy | :32:29. | :32:31. | |
we've acknowledged that, we've embraced that, | :32:32. | :32:33. | |
I've set out clear expectations for local authorities about working | :32:34. | :32:35. | |
with recovery to make sure that these additional | :32:36. | :32:38. | |
elements are supplied. The 2017 drug strategy | :32:39. | :32:49. | |
is the first for seven years. It says there should be treatment | :32:50. | :32:52. | |
tailored to the needs of drug users. A new national recovery champion | :32:53. | :32:55. | |
will help co-ordinate services. And there will be measures to deal | :32:56. | :32:58. | |
with new drug threats, including substances intended | :32:59. | :33:01. | |
to enhance the experience of having Amber Rudd's involvement | :33:02. | :33:03. | |
in a new cross-government drug strategy board will give | :33:04. | :33:19. | |
the plans political impetus, but she's set to disappoint people | :33:20. | :33:21. | |
who say drug possession should no Police in east London | :33:22. | :33:24. | |
are investigating five attacks which involved corrosive substances | :33:25. | :33:34. | |
being thrown in people's faces. They all happened within | :33:35. | :33:36. | |

what's been described The Scottish and Welsh governments | :33:40. | :33:43. | |
have threatened to block the key Brexit bill which will convert | :33:44. | :33:49. | |
all existing EU laws into UK law, that's over what they say is a power | :33:50. | :33:52. | |
grab by Westminster. The Repeal Bill is also facing | :33:53. | :33:55. | |
opposition from Labour But Brexit Secretary David Davis has | :33:56. | :33:58. | |
rejected the criticism and described it as one of the most significant | :33:59. | :34:03. | |
pieces of legislation President Trump will be the guest | :34:04. | :34:05. | |

War. Crowds are expected to line | :34:25. | :34:29. | |
the streets for the funeral The six-year-old Sunderland fan won | :34:30. | :34:32. | |
a legion of supporters across the country, including | :34:33. | :34:36. | |
footballer Jermain Defoe who has left training in Spain | :34:37. | :34:38. | |
to be at the funeral. Bradley died last Friday | :34:39. | :34:41. | |
after suffering from a rare cancer. A heatwave across southern Europe | :34:42. | :34:50. | |
has forced some of the region's most famous tourist sites to close | :34:51. | :34:54. | |
during peak holiday season. More than twenty fires have started | :34:55. | :34:56. | |
near Naples and Sicily where the temperatures have climbed | :34:57. | :34:59. | |
above 40 degrees this week. The Greek government has ordered | :35:00. | :35:02. | |
that popular archaeological sites close, and in southern Spain, | :35:03. | :35:04. | |
the drought has devastated crops. Several Spanish cities | :35:05. | :35:07. | |
have experienced record It will reach 46 degrees | :35:08. | :35:09. | |
in Cordoba today. Anyone visiting Stonehenge | :35:10. | :35:18. | |
or Loch Ness earlier this week would have seen a bonus attraction | :35:19. | :35:20. | |
if they'd looked to the skies. The Red Arrows and their | :35:21. | :35:26. | |
American counterparts, the Thunderbirds, have been | :35:27. | :35:28. | |
performing some stunning manoeuvres in a practice display from RAF | :35:29. | :35:31. | |
Fairford in Gloucestershire. They were rehearsing ahead of | :35:32. | :35:33. | |
the Royal International Air Tattoo anniversary of the United States Air | :35:34. | :35:36. | |
Force. Those are the main stories this | :35:37. | :35:51. | |
morning. Leicester and attention now to the sport, Mike is at Wimbledon | :35:52. | :35:57. | |
for us on Henman Hill -- let's turn our attention. All eyes I suppose on | :35:58. | :36:03. | |
the men's semis, Federer particularly, and yesterday was the | :36:04. | :36:06. | |
end of British interest effectively. That's not entirely fair because | :36:07. | :36:10. | |
there is interest in the mixed doubles but in terms of the singles? | :36:11. | :36:15. | |
That's right, Heather Watson and Jamie Murray to cheer on in the | :36:16. | :36:21. | |
doubles. On Henman Hill next to the pond, haven't seen my friendly fish | :36:22. | :36:25. | |
in 20 minutes ever since Carol appeared with her bright dress. He | :36:26. | :36:31. | |
seems to have gone back under for the moment. Reflecting on yesterday, | :36:32. | :36:35. | |
for the second day running, the big British hope, the British number | :36:36. | :36:40. | |
one, went out. Johanna Konta, she says she is not too disappointed, | :36:41. | :36:45. | |
because she remains upbeat and confident she can win the women's | :36:46. | :36:49. | |
singles title in years to come. It was the first a final for her, | :36:50. | :36:54. | |
always seen as a huge match, counter that against the vast experience of | :36:55. | :36:58. | |
Venus Williams, who is now through to her ninth final, incredible, at | :36:59. | :37:00. | |
the age of 37. This time though, her | :37:01. | :37:07. | |
opponent Venus Williams, the five-time champion, | :37:08. | :37:09. | |
looked almost back to her best as she outplayed the | :37:10. | :37:11. | |
British number one. Konta lost in straight sets, | :37:12. | :37:13. | |
losing 6-4, 6-2, much to the disappointment of the home | :37:14. | :37:16. | |
fans here at the All England Club. Afterwards she thanked fans | :37:17. | :37:19. | |
for their love and support and described the fortnight | :37:20. | :37:22. | |
as a memorable experience. I've definitely enjoyed every single | :37:23. | :37:28. | |
moment I've been here these past two weeks. So I don't think I need to | :37:29. | :37:35. | |
much time for that to sink in for me to realise I've made sure that I've | :37:36. | :37:39. | |
been very present with everything I've done to make sure I have | :37:40. | :37:43. | |
enjoyed and taken the most out of every opportunity and experience | :37:44. | :37:44. | |
I've had. Venus Williams will now play | :37:45. | :37:46. | |
Spain's Garbine Muguruza The 14th seed thrashed the unseeded | :37:47. | :37:49. | |
Magdalena Rybarikova in little over an hour to make it to her | :37:50. | :37:52. | |
second Wimbledon final. interest here at Wimbledon, | :37:53. | :37:57. | |
though, Jamie Murray and his partner | :37:58. | :38:00. | |
Martina Hingis are into the mixed doubles semi-finals after beating | :38:01. | :38:03. | |
the all British pairing Murray and Hingis are top seeds | :38:04. | :38:06. | |
and took the match in straight sets to book their place | :38:07. | :38:11. | |
in the last four. And Jamie could be facing a fellow | :38:12. | :38:13. | |
Briton across the net if he makes it to the final because there's | :38:14. | :38:17. | |
a familiar British name in the other Heather Watson | :38:18. | :38:20. | |
is through with her partner They are the defending champions | :38:21. | :38:23. | |
and could make it back to back titles after they won their match | :38:24. | :38:26. | |
in three sets yesterday. The wheelchair tournaments started | :38:27. | :38:29. | |
yesterday here but there was disappointment for defending | :38:30. | :38:31. | |
champion Britain's Gordon Reid. He lost in the singles in straight | :38:32. | :38:34. | |
sets to Sweden's Steffan Olsson, the man he beat to win | :38:35. | :38:37. | |
the title last year. Better news, though, | :38:38. | :38:40. | |
for Alfie Hewett, he won his first singles win | :38:41. | :38:41. | |
on grass. Chris Froome has lost the yellow | :38:42. | :38:56. | |
jersey at the Tour de France. The three-time race winner finished | :38:57. | :39:02. | |
down in seventh on stage 12, handing the overall lead | :39:03. | :39:05. | |
to rival Fabio Aru. He basically said he didn't have the | :39:06. | :39:14. | |
legs when it mattered as the race got into the Pyrenees. | :39:15. | :39:21. | |
To football now and Manchester City have agreed a fee of ?50 million | :39:22. | :39:25. | |
for the Tottenham defender Kyle Walker. | :39:26. | :39:26. | |
It's expected he'll sign in time to join his new team-mates before | :39:27. | :39:30. | |
they leave for their pre-season tour of the United States. | :39:31. | :39:32. | |
an impact at his new club is Wayne Rooney. | :39:33. | :39:36. | |
He only signed for Everton on Sunday but has already scored his first | :39:37. | :39:40. | |
goal, this brilliant long-range effort on his debut | :39:41. | :39:42. | |
during their pre-season tour of Tanzania. | :39:43. | :39:50. | |

The World Para Athletics Championships begins this evening | :40:02. | :40:09. | |
There'll be a minute's silence before competition to mark the death | :40:10. | :40:13. | |
earlier this week of the UAE athlete Abdullah Hayayei, | :40:14. | :40:16. | |
who was killed during a training accident. | :40:17. | :40:18. | |
There's plenty of British names competing at the Championships, | :40:19. | :40:20. | |
This is worlds apart from every other medal you get, this is in | :40:21. | :40:40. | |
London, this is World Championships, on your home turf and I think you | :40:41. | :40:44. | |
want it more. I said to my mum for example last year, she's worried | :40:45. | :40:48. | |
about coming out to Rio, I said don't worry about it, be there in | :40:49. | :40:52. | |
London 27, I want you there because it means something to me. Rio was a | :40:53. | :40:58. | |
job, this is for me, I want this more than I want Rio. | :40:59. | :41:01. | |
England captain Joe Root says it's important the side don't | :41:02. | :41:03. | |
rest on their laurels for the second Test against South Africa, | :41:04. | :41:06. | |
folowing their emphatic victory in the first. | :41:07. | :41:08. | |
England have named an unchanged side for the match which begins today | :41:09. | :41:12. | |
At Wimbledon, as you were saying, Charlie, a huge day, men's | :41:13. | :41:28. | |
semifinals day, so first up on centre court you've got Marian | :41:29. | :41:31. | |
Cilic, who is favourite going into the match against the American who | :41:32. | :41:36. | |
beat Andy Murray in the last round, Sam Querrey. Also Roger Federer | :41:37. | :41:40. | |
against Tomas Berdych. Federer will be the strong favourite there. | :41:41. | :41:46. | |
Coverage starts at 12:30pm on BBC Two and then it continues on Radio 5 | :41:47. | :41:53. | |
Live and the BBC Sport website. Hard to see beyond Roger Federer, isn't | :41:54. | :41:58. | |
it? Thanks very much, Mike, see you later on. | :41:59. | :42:02. | |
With its first new strategy for tackling illegal drug use | :42:03. | :42:05. | |
in seven years, the Home Office says its plans will help addicts | :42:06. | :42:08. | |
We can get more details from Sarah Newton, | :42:09. | :42:11. | |
the Minister for Safeguarding and Vulnerability, who joins us | :42:12. | :42:14. | |
Thank you very much bought 14 to us this morning. Pleased to be with | :42:15. | :42:23. | |
you. -- for talking to us. How is this strategy going to cut the | :42:24. | :42:28. | |
number of drug-related deaths? We've learned a lot over the last few | :42:29. | :42:31. | |
years about how to give better treatment to people, you're right to | :42:32. | :42:35. | |
point out there are different groups of people susceptible to different | :42:36. | :42:38. | |
types of drug addiction and to reduce those deaths, we're really | :42:39. | :42:42. | |
talking about people who tend to be older, whose been taking heroin, who | :42:43. | :42:48. | |
are really ill and they need very particular treatment to help them | :42:49. | :42:52. | |
with their recovery -- who's been. Helping the recovery of the most | :42:53. | :42:56. | |
vulnerable people at the heart of our strategy is going to make a real | :42:57. | :43:00. | |
difference. How much will this cost the government and where is the | :43:01. | :43:03. | |
money coming from? It's about joining up lots of budgets, we have | :43:04. | :43:08. | |
the public-health budget, used by local authorities to commission | :43:09. | :43:11. | |
services, but also we've learned over the while that a lot of people | :43:12. | :43:16. | |
that have substance misuse problems have underlying mental health | :43:17. | :43:19. | |
problems, the record amounts we are using for mental health will be used | :43:20. | :43:26. | |
as well. We know some homeless people have substance misuse | :43:27. | :43:29. | |
problems, so the money we are investing in homeless prevention can | :43:30. | :43:32. | |
be brought to bear. It's about pooling across government and | :43:33. | :43:36. | |
agencies in communities so we can smartly use the money available to | :43:37. | :43:40. | |
really make a difference. No extra money? There is investment in parts | :43:41. | :43:47. | |
of the strategy, new money with homeless prevention, mental health | :43:48. | :43:51. | |
services. All so there is various and organised crime -- also. | :43:52. | :43:57. | |
Stopping it coming into the country. We are making a lot of investment | :43:58. | :44:00. | |
there. Investment with young people in schools so young people don't | :44:01. | :44:04. | |
want drugs in the first place because they've had good education. | :44:05. | :44:08. | |
Investment in different pockets coming together brought to bear to | :44:09. | :44:13. | |
make a big difference in an overarching strategy. No new | :44:14. | :44:17. | |
specific money for this new drug strategy, the first new strategy in | :44:18. | :44:22. | |
seven years? There's money in different parts of government which | :44:23. | :44:27. | |
is all being used for this strategy. There are criticisms of this | :44:28. | :44:33. | |
strategy, that you're not moving towards decriminalisation for those | :44:34. | :44:36. | |
who use, and therefore those using are actually fearful of being | :44:37. | :44:43. | |
targeted or called criminals and therefore are locked in to get help. | :44:44. | :44:47. | |
People are saying perhaps you should have considered this more carefully. | :44:48. | :44:52. | |
-- reluctant. What is your response to that? We have consulted carefully | :44:53. | :44:57. | |
on the strategy involving a wide range of stakeholders. It's really | :44:58. | :45:02. | |
important that we send out a very clear message to people, these drugs | :45:03. | :45:08. | |
are very harmful. That's why we make them illegal and that's why we put | :45:09. | :45:13. | |
every effort into reducing demand by educating about the harms, reducing | :45:14. | :45:18. | |
supply, by taking really world leading international effort to | :45:19. | :45:21. | |
prevent the drugs coming into our country and it's quite right we have | :45:22. | :45:25. | |
new powers through the psychoactive substance act which came in last | :45:26. | :45:29. | |
year to crack down on new and emerging drugs, drugs like legal | :45:30. | :45:37. | |
highs or chemsex drugs, the appalling zombie Spice we saw last | :45:38. | :45:41. | |
year, it's really damaging stuff and it's right we try to stop people | :45:42. | :45:46. | |
taking it but I know there are many vulnerable people who do take drugs | :45:47. | :45:49. | |
and that's why we have recovery at the centre of what we are doing so | :45:50. | :45:53. | |
if people do start to take drugs, there are really good services for | :45:54. | :45:58. | |
them to help them break their habit and lead a meaningful and full part | :45:59. | :46:00. | |
in our society. There have been acid attacks in | :46:01. | :46:08. | |
London today, we understand five attacks, and one has suffered life | :46:09. | :46:13. | |
changing injuries. Can you give me an idea what strategy is going to be | :46:14. | :46:19. | |
in place? We have seen a spate of the attacks and corrosive substances | :46:20. | :46:23. | |
have been used as a weapon of choice. How are you going to tackle | :46:24. | :46:27. | |
this as a government? This was a shocking attack last night. Someone | :46:28. | :46:32. | |
is left with life changing injuries. This is something we have been | :46:33. | :46:37. | |
concerned about for some time. We have been working closely with | :46:38. | :46:40. | |
colleagues in law enforcement to get a better picture of what is | :46:41. | :46:44. | |
happening, as you rightly say, in pockets of the country. There has | :46:45. | :46:49. | |
been a state undoubtably in the East End of London recently. Only last | :46:50. | :46:55. | |
week jointly with the national crime lead, most senior police officer, we | :46:56. | :47:00. | |
hosted a conference from retailers to the NHS and law enforcement, | :47:01. | :47:04. | |
people working in communities, community policing, to have a | :47:05. | :47:10. | |
joined-up action plan for what we are working together taking forward | :47:11. | :47:15. | |
to stop young people wanting to use this substance as a weapon, | :47:16. | :47:20. | |
restricting supply and making sure the criminal justice system treats | :47:21. | :47:24. | |
these serious offences with proper sentencing. A proper plan of action. | :47:25. | :47:31. | |
Thank you for talking to us. Where going to have a look at the | :47:32. | :47:41. | |
weather now. Good morning from Wimbledon. It is a | :47:42. | :47:47. | |
mild start and you have been talking about heat in southern Spain. | :47:48. | :47:55. | |
Yesterday in southern Cordoba, it reached 46 degrees, which makes it a | :47:56. | :48:03. | |
whopping 116 Fahrenheit. I am telling you this because today it is | :48:04. | :48:08. | |
going to be more comfortable in the UK with a high of 23. Into the | :48:09. | :48:13. | |
middle of next week we are looking at temperatures in the south of | :48:14. | :48:17. | |
England rising into the high 20s, possibly the 30 degrees mark. That | :48:18. | :48:23. | |
is the same heat across Spain at the moment. Obviously we won't get heat | :48:24. | :48:28. | |
like that. 30 will be roughly the highest temperature we will get. | :48:29. | :48:32. | |
Today at Wimbledon it is a pleasant start to the day. The forecast is | :48:33. | :48:38. | |
fairly cloudy first thing. There will be some sunny breaks coming | :48:39. | :48:42. | |
later on in the day with highs of about 20- 21 in a gentle breeze. The | :48:43. | :48:48. | |
UK as a whole has a cloudy start with showers this morning. We will | :48:49. | :48:51. | |
also see sunny spells develop. And for most it will be dry. In southern | :48:52. | :48:57. | |
England we have variable cloud, sunny spells coming through. We have | :48:58. | :49:01. | |
showers at the moment, with some at nine o'clock as well. Further north | :49:02. | :49:08. | |
into East Anglia, northern England, a combination of more cloud at | :49:09. | :49:12. | |
times, sunny breaks in the cloud, and the same for Scotland. The cloud | :49:13. | :49:18. | |
is thick enough to produce the odd rogue shower. Northern Ireland has a | :49:19. | :49:23. | |
bright start with sunny spells. Wales could catch the odd shower. | :49:24. | :49:29. | |
The same for the Midlands with bright spells of sunshine. The | :49:30. | :49:32. | |
south-west bright spells and sunshine and the odd shower. It will | :49:33. | :49:38. | |
brighten up nicely through the day. Further east, through Dorset into | :49:39. | :49:41. | |
the Home Counties, the same again, bright spells, sunny skies. In the | :49:42. | :49:46. | |
sunshine that are rich will pick up quickly. The cloud will break later | :49:47. | :49:55. | |
into the afternoon. As temperatures rise it could spark some showers. | :49:56. | :50:01. | |
Consider yourself unlike EEC. At the end of the day a weather front | :50:02. | :50:05. | |
coming in across western Scotland and Northern Ireland introducing | :50:06. | :50:09. | |
some rain. As we had on through the evening and overnight period the | :50:10. | :50:13. | |
weather front will move south and swing east and take rain with it. In | :50:14. | :50:18. | |
the north of the country it is going to be a mild night than the one just | :50:19. | :50:23. | |
gone and in the south under clear skies it will be a cooler nights | :50:24. | :50:28. | |
than the one just gone. Tomorrow, two fronts affecting us, the first | :50:29. | :50:32. | |
one swinging east, taking cloud and patchy light showers with it. It | :50:33. | :50:36. | |
will brighten up operated with sunny spells developing and another front | :50:37. | :50:41. | |
across the north-west. In the south, for much of England and Wales, we | :50:42. | :50:47. | |
are looking at a dry picture with a cloudy spite and sunny spells | :50:48. | :50:51. | |
developing. Maybe the odd shower. Starting to turn humid in the south. | :50:52. | :50:56. | |
As we head into Sunday, the weather front coming south is a weak | :50:57. | :51:00. | |
feature. It is going to introduce cloud, spots or drizzle and much | :51:01. | :51:05. | |
brighter for northern England, Scotland with sunshine. After a | :51:06. | :51:10. | |
bright start, as the weak weather front comes south, more cloud and | :51:11. | :51:15. | |
the odd shower. Temperature-wise, look at the temperature, it is | :51:16. | :51:19. | |
zooming up and it will be humid in the south with highs of 27. Much | :51:20. | :51:24. | |
more comfortable in the sunshine. Thank you very much. | :51:25. | :51:30. | |
We are going to talk now about how people get tickets. | :51:31. | :51:33. | |
If you've ever tried to buy tickets for a sold-out gig you might have | :51:34. | :51:37. | |
turned to using a ticket re-selling website. | :51:38. | :51:42. | |
We all know the feeling when you are absolutely gutted to find out it is | :51:43. | :51:47. | |
sold out. If you've ever missed out on getting | :51:48. | :51:48. | |
tickets to a gig or a festival, you might have turned | :51:49. | :51:54. | |
to a re-selling website, where you stand a chance | :51:55. | :51:56. | |
of getting that tickets, but it can often be for much more | :51:57. | :51:59. | |
than the original price. Well, a survey by the market | :52:00. | :52:02. | |
researchers at YouGov out today shows that just under half us thinks | :52:03. | :52:05. | |
re-selling websites should be banned altogether, and slightly more | :52:06. | :52:08. | |
thought the government should intervene to make things fairer | :52:09. | :52:10. | |
for genuine gig-owners So which are the main ticket | :52:11. | :52:13. | |
re-selling websites? Well, there are four big ones, | :52:14. | :52:20. | |
Seatwave and GetMeIn, which are both owned | :52:21. | :52:23. | |
by Ticketmaster, Viagogo They're all operating | :52:24. | :52:25. | |
totally legally in the UK. But secondary ticket websites have | :52:26. | :52:33. | |
been criticised by many in the music industry, notably Adele | :52:34. | :52:36. | |
and Ed Sheeran, for snapping up thousands of gig tickets | :52:37. | :52:39. | |
when they go on sale online Adam Webb is from the FanFair | :52:40. | :52:41. | |
Alliance who campaign against industrial-scale | :52:42. | :52:49. | |
online ticket touting. What do you mean by industrial | :52:50. | :53:07. | |
scale? It literally just means that, we are not talking about one or two | :53:08. | :53:11. | |
tickets, we are talking about before the tickets go on general sale | :53:12. | :53:14. | |
thousands of tickets put onto the resale sites. These are put on by | :53:15. | :53:20. | |
professional ticket touts who use these platforms, which enable their | :53:21. | :53:27. | |
activity. Not me realising I can't get a ticket? No. For a came in I | :53:28. | :53:34. | |
googled the Killers tickets, because they are going online at nine | :53:35. | :53:38. | |
o'clock, and thousands are available on secondary sites. The entry point | :53:39. | :53:42. | |
is often Google. They are at the top of the search engine. That is the | :53:43. | :53:47. | |
main entry point for people. We have contacted the four reselling | :53:48. | :53:51. | |
websites. They haven't got back to us. The defence is, this is totally | :53:52. | :53:57. | |
legal. There is demand for it. People don't have to buy them if | :53:58. | :54:01. | |
they don't want. It is legal to resell a ticket. And four our | :54:02. | :54:08. | |
campaign we believe people should be able to sell their ticket. We | :54:09. | :54:11. | |
believe it should be controlled and regulated and at face value. Not the | :54:12. | :54:17. | |
system which is totally out of whack. And there are rules coming | :54:18. | :54:21. | |
into force. Will they go far enough, what kind of rules are coming in? We | :54:22. | :54:29. | |
have quite a few consumer laws which should protect people but they | :54:30. | :54:33. | |
haven't been enforced. Governments have strengthened the Consumer | :54:34. | :54:37. | |
Rights Act, which is fantastic. We are waiting for that, for the | :54:38. | :54:43. | |
guidelines for that to be published. And we need the laws properly | :54:44. | :54:48. | |
enforced. If the ticket sales or the sites are banned, won't we go back | :54:49. | :54:52. | |
to the days of ticket touts outside the venue? There will always be the | :54:53. | :54:56. | |
demand for people who didn't get the tickets? We are not calling for the | :54:57. | :55:01. | |
sites to be banned. We are calling for them to obey the law and become | :55:02. | :55:06. | |
transparent. It is one of the only markets, the peer-to-peer market, | :55:07. | :55:09. | |
where you do not know who you are buying from. That is the problem. | :55:10. | :55:13. | |
They are marketed as fan platforms. On the whole it is the hard-core | :55:14. | :55:18. | |
ticket touts using them who are bulk buying masses of tickets in primary | :55:19. | :55:25. | |
ticketing websites and are enabled to sell them at inflated prices. | :55:26. | :55:31. | |
Thank you for joining us. So it is interesting. Ed Sheeran has | :55:32. | :55:36. | |
introduced this idea of four forms of IT before you can get into his | :55:37. | :55:45. | |
next coming to. -- ID. We might see some long queues in future? I don't | :55:46. | :55:48. | |
genuinely think that I do. Maybe three. Still to come:, we speak with | :55:49. | :55:56. | |
Sir David Attenborough about his fears for the butterfly population | :55:57. | :55:58. | |
and what people can do to help. Plenty more on our website | :55:59. | :59:16. | |

evening. You're listening to Jessica performing a piece by John Williams. | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
She will make her Proms debut this year, we will talk to her and many | :01:51. | :01:56. | |

is over for Johanna Konta The British number one says she can | :01:59. | :02:01. | |

is the sun? Still in the sky but the cloud cover has come over and that | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
is making it feel chilly. For many a chilly start and a lot of cloud | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
around, one or two showers but it will brighten up in in sunny showers | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
and if you're coming to Wimbledon it should be dry and getting warmer by | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
the time play starts. See you later on. | :02:40. | :02:40. | |
Police in East London are investigating five attacks | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
which involved corrosive substances being thrown in people's faces. | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
One of the victims has suffered what's been described | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
The incidents all happened within 90 minutes in Hackney | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
Andy Moore's report contains some distressing images. | :02:54. | :03:01. | |
This was the scene of the most serious attack last night, | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
the victim was apparantly delivering takeaway food when a pair of men | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
Police say a corrosive substance was growing in his face. | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
Lee was taken to hospital with what they described | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
In the space of just over an hour police were alerted to five similar | :03:14. | :03:23. | |
attacks, the motive on each occasion seems to be robbery. | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
Acid attacks in England have doubled since 2012. | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
21-year-old Resham Khan and her cousin Jameel Mukhtar | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
were attacked shortly after they had been celebrating her 21st birthday | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
Acid was burning through the window of her car. | :03:35. | :03:46. | |
My face started melting, my clothes started to burn, | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
my shorts started sticking to me and there was smoke coming out | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
Moped crime is also on the increase, especially in London. | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
Delivery drivers in east London say they've been faced by an escalating | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
crime wave from knife-wielding gangs. | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
Earlier on this programme the Home Office Minister Sarah Newton gave us | :04:05. | :04:16. | |
her reaction to that attack. This was a shocking attack last | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
night, someone is left with life changing injuries and this is | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
something we've been concerned about in the Home Office for some time. | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
We've been working very closely with our colleagues in law enforcement to | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
get a better picture of actually what is happening, as you quite | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
rightly say, it's happening in pockets of the country. | :04:38. | :04:38. | |
The Home Secretary Amber Rudd has launched a new strategy to tackle | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
illegal drug use after what the Home Office calls | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
a dramatic increase in the number of deaths from drugs in England | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
The strategy focuses on helping addicts to recover | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
and makes clear there'll be no legal changes to decriminalise | :04:52. | :04:53. | |
The entire strategy applies to England, | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
some parts of it also affect the rest of the UK. | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
Our home affairs correspondent, Danny Shaw, reports. | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
Police raids against dealers have been the traditional way of clamping | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
It's estimated to cost the UK ?10.7 billion a year. | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
And the new government drug strategy says that approach will continue | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
along with renewed efforts to get people off drugs. | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
That's what they do at the Harbour Centre in London. | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
Support people affected by drugs and help them rebuild their lives. | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
The Home Secretary Amber Rudd visited the centre this week. | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
She said her drugs strategy will focus on recovery. | :05:24. | :05:31. | |
People who are recovering from drugs often need help with housing, | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
they need help with employment, they might have mental health | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
difficulties and in this strategy we've acknowledged that, | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
we've embraced that, I've set out clear expectations | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
for local authorities about working with recovery to make sure | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
that these additional elements are supplied. | :05:44. | :05:54. | |
The 2017 drug strategy is the first for seven years. | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
It says there should be treatment tailored to the needs of drug users. | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
A new national recovery champion will help co-ordinate services. | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
And there will be measures to deal with new drug threats, | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
including substances intended to enhance the experience of having | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
Amber Rudd's involvement in a new cross-government drug | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
strategy board will give the plans political impetus, | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
but she's set to disappoint people who say drug possession should no | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
The Scottish and Welsh governments have threatened to block the key | :06:18. | :06:32. | |
Brexit bill which will convert all existing EU laws into UK law | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
over what they say is a power grab by Westminster. | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
The Repeal Bill is also facing opposition from Labour and other | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
Our political correspondent Chris Mason joins us now | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
Good morning, Chris. Some of this stuff is, let's be honest, quite | :06:45. | :06:58. | |
complicated, isn't it? To take us through that phrase, a threat to | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
block, take us through that? Good morning, complicated with a capital | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
C, it definitely is and it will be four months and years to come. What | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
we saw and what we will continue to see is 360 degrees scrutiny of | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
Brexit. On the specifics of that complaint from the first ministers | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
of Scotland and Wales, they say what the government has set out is a | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
power grab from Westminster. The way things will work is all of those | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
laws Brussels was in charge will be cut and paste and put into UK law at | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
Westminster. The government says there will then be a conversation | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
about which bits of law are parcelled up and sent to Edinburgh | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
and Cardiff and Belfast but the mechanics of that are highly | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
controversial. Real concern from the first ministers of Scotland and | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
Wales and a real desire to flex their muscle and cause real anxiety | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
for the British Government. One strand of, as we were saying, a very | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
complicated and convoluted argument to come. | :08:05. | :08:04. | |
Crowds are expected to line the streets for the funeral | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
The six-year-old Sunderland fan won a legion of supporters | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
across the country, including footballer Jermain Defoe who has | :08:12. | :08:13. | |
left training in Spain to be at the funeral. | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
Bradley died last Friday after suffering from a rare cancer. | :08:17. | :08:29. | |
President Trump will be the guest of honour at the Bastille Day | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
He's marking France's National Day at the invitation of the country's | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
The two leaders will watch the traditional military parade | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
which, this year, has French soldiers marching | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
You can see the preparations, but can we start with how this meeting | :08:43. | :09:05. | |
went? There were some interesting nuances and comments that have been | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
picked up. There were, there were. I think the big picture is that it | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
went very well, certainly there was a show of warmth which surprised | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
many, surprised me. The two men have so little in common on the face of | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
it but every effort was made on both sides to show that not only were | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
they getting on but that they were friends. They were specifically | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
asked at the press conference yesterday, how would you | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
characterise the relationship, they both said it was friendly, we're | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
going to dinner at the Eiffel Tower and it will be a dinner of friends. | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
These nuances, as you say, which came out, particularly on climate | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
change, with Donald Trump hinting that he might even revisit his | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
rejection of the Paris climate accord. Hugh, thanks very much, Hugh | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
Schofield in Paris. A heatwave across southern Europe | :10:02. | :10:02. | |
has forced some of the region's most famous tourist sites to close | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
during peak holiday season. More than twenty fires have started | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
near Naples and Sicily where the temperatures have climbed | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
above 40 degrees celsius this week. The Greek government has ordered | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
that popular archaeological sites close during the hot weather, | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
and in southern Spain, the drought has devastated | :10:17. | :10:18. | |
crops and seven provinces Temperatures will reach 46 | :10:19. | :10:20. | |
degrees in Cordoba today. Really is too hot! Carol will have | :10:21. | :10:39. | |
the weather in the UK a little later on. | :10:40. | :10:40. | |
The Scottish and Welsh governments have threatened to block the key | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
Brexit bill which will convert all existing EU laws into UK law, | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
claiming it undermines the principles of devolution. | :10:47. | :10:48. | |
It comes after first ministers Nicola Sturgeon | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
and Carwyn Jones met separately with EU chief Brexit negotiator | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
Michel Barnier yesterday to discuss their positions. | :10:57. | :10:58. | |
But Brexit Secretary David Davis has rejected claims ministers | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
were giving themselves sweeping powers. | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
Joining us now from Bangor is the First Minister for Wales, | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
Chris Mason, our political correspondent, said a moment ago | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
that this stuff is complicated. Can you explain in the most punter | :11:10. | :11:25. | |
friendly way what your problem is? It means what is in Brussels now | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
should come back to Cardiff, Edinburgh and Belfast where it | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
affects devolved areas, the areas we are responsible for. We don't think | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
it should stick in London. It means England can do what it once but | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have new restrictions, we can't | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
accept that. The UK government wouldn't accept that and obviously | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
we can't do the same. The procedure is straightforward, it's been | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
detailed by the government, those EU laws come back to Westminster if you | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
like and then those that are appropriate will be passed out to | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
the devolved nations. Don't you trust the government to do that? No | :12:03. | :12:09. | |
bluntly. At the moment the position is, looking at agriculture and | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
fisheries, Watson Brussels goes to Wales -- what's in fisheries. For us | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
it is a power grab by Whitehall and that's something we can't accept. | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
We've offered a solution, we have said the powers come back to the | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
four different governments, let's agree not to change things until we | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
get an agreement on the way forward. That's the mature thing to do. We're | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
a partnership of four nations and we can't accept a situation where one | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
says to the other three this is the way it's going to be and we're going | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
to place restrictions on new. That's not what people voted for in the | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
referendum, they wanted to bring powers back to themselves Andy McKay | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
is of Wales, to the Welsh. You've made your case clearly that you | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
don't trust Theresa May to do what you think is the right thing. -- and | :12:56. | :13:02. | |
in the case of Wales. You said there is a threat to block this process. | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
Talk us through that, you don't have the power to block it, do you? We | :13:07. | :13:13. | |
have to consider parts of the bill because the UK government needs to | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
get what's called legislative consent, it needs our approval to | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
move forward with parts of the bill and David Davies, the Brexit | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
secretary, has said he's going to look for the consent of the | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
different legislatures and different parliaments across the UK and I | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
welcome that. That consent isn't going to be forthcoming if the bill | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
stays as it is. We have the position in Wales of not trying to block the | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
bill, we want a bill that goes through that delivers a Brexit that | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
is good for all nations in the UK but we're not going to support | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
something that takes power away from Wales. In 2011 we had a referendum | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
where people voted overwhelmingly for new powers to come to Wales, we | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
aren't going to jeopardise that and those powers that would come back to | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
Wales from Brussels, they need to come straight back rather than going | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
through a middleman in London. In the interests of clarity, you used | :14:09. | :14:15. | |
the phrase that they need your consent, but legally speaking, | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
technically, they can go ahead. You're talking about the convention, | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
the convention is they seek your consent and approval but in practice | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
they can carry on regardless, Theresa May and her government can | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
carry on regardless, am I right? If they do that two things would | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
happen, there would be a constitutional crisis because it | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
would go against everything the UK is based on. We don't want that. And | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
it would mean all the words they have used so far are worthless. | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
David Davis himself and Boris Johnson have said the same thing in | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
parliament, the consent of the national parliaments will be needed | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
so in other words their words are worth nothing and they are prepared | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
to override something that's been in place for 18 years. That does | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
nothing to create trust and unity in the UK. We're not going to accept | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
that. We are willing and we have offered to work with the UK | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
government, it's not like we have said we won't talk, we have said | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
let's talk and get to a position where we are all happy and the door | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
has been shut. They can't expect us to support the bill when they aren't | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
prepared to talk to all of us around the table. Some of the mood music | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
coming out of Whitehall now suggests they are looking to work with us to | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
make the bill acceptable, fine, I welcome that but they can't expect | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
us to agree to something they themselves wouldn't touch in a month | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
of Sundays. It's not one rule for London and different rules for | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
everyone else. The UK is a partnership of four nations all what | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
is it? Hugely important we work together to deliver a Brexit that | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
works for everyone and that means showing proper respect to Scotland, | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
Wales and Northern Ireland. Carwyn Jones, thanks for your time, First | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
Minister of Wales. Scorching temperatures | :16:01. | :16:02. | |
across parts of Southern Europe. Many thankful that it is cooler, it | :16:03. | :16:14. | |
is a lot cooler, really, and it is in Wimbledon for the tennis. | :16:15. | :16:15. | |
Where are you? Next to the Rose Arbor. Look at it, it is beautiful. | :16:16. | :16:27. | |
This is where you can come to relax, have a drink, something to eat, | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
surrounded by magnificent flowers. When you think how far into the | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
championships we are, the flowers are in good shape. I have seen | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
people watering them, cleaning up, there are petunias, there is Fearns, | :16:40. | :16:46. | |
roses, and other plants as well, all in Wimbledon colours. 50,000 | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
supplied for the championships each year. They have had a watering this | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
morning. There will not be much coming out of the sky for most of | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
the UK. Although we are starting on a cloudy note. As a result it is | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
cool with one or two showers around. The forecast for the Gordon is | :17:05. | :17:11. | |
largely dry. We have areas of cloud, we will see sunny spells and highs | :17:12. | :17:18. | |
of around 20- 21 in the breeze. The forecast for the UK is mainly dry. | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
There are sunny spells. Temperatures rise and some of us will see | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
showers. Nine o'clock this morning in the south we have quite a bit of | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
cloud and some of us have seen some sunshine and there are also some | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
showers dotted around. The same into East Anglia and the Midlands. And | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
then into Northern Ireland, we have bright spells or sunny spells. And | :17:41. | :17:47. | |
here and there the clout is thick enough for the odd shower. Across | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
the Irish Sea into Wales, south-west England, it is not much different. | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
We are looking at bright spells, a bit of cloud like this, sunny spells | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
or indeed cloud thick enough for the odd shower. Parts of Wales and | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
south-west England will brighten up through the day and we will see | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
quite a bit of sunshine. Drifting eastwards to the Home Counties, a | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
similar scenario. The clout is thick enough for the odd shower. They will | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
fade. The cloud will turn over and sunny spells develop. Late afternoon | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
into the early afternoon we will start to see sunny spells develop. | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
And as temperatures rise, showers also develop. We have a weather | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
front moving into western Scotland and Northern Ireland introducing | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
some rain. Through the evening and overnight we have the band of rain | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
swinging south and starting to move eastwards. It will start to weaken | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
as well. Many parts of the north will see some rain from that. It | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
will be a mild night in Scotland, northern England and Northern | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
Ireland. For the rest of England and Wales, it will be a cooler nights | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
than the one that was just gone. Tomorrow, Northern Ireland, England | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
and Scotland, we start with the front drifting eastwards. It will | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
brighten up behind it with some warm sunshine develop. Then another front | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
into the north-west. For the rest of England and Wales we are looking at | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
a cloudy start to the day with some sunshine developing. And it will | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
start to feel a little bit more humid with temperatures rising. As | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
we had into Sunday the second front moves south as a weak feature. For | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
Scotland, northern England and Northern Ireland it will be bright | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
with sunshine. And as the front heads south we are looking at a | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
cloudy afternoon and morning. Still, quite nice with a few showers and | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
feeling much more humid. If you have an allergy to Poland this will not | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
be music to your ears. Today across south-east England and northern | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
Scotland the levels are high. The other places I mentioned are | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
moderate. I had to copper tablet this morning straightaway and it is | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
definitely not pleasant. Thank you. See you later. If you are one of | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
those people checking your watch, the train is weaving at 7:31am some | :20:07. | :20:18. | |
were? Do you trust them? That is the thing. Commuters this morning word | :20:19. | :20:20. | |
need me to tell them. Good morning. Punctuality on the railways | :20:21. | :20:22. | |
is at the worst level in ten years. That's according to research | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
from consumer group Which. They also found that train operators | :20:27. | :20:28. | |
handle passenger complaints and delays almost as badly | :20:29. | :20:30. | |
as they did a decade ago. The number of people defaulting | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
on their credit cards has reached it's highest level since | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
the financial crash. And the bad news is that the Bank | :20:37. | :20:43. | |
of England don't think things They've warned that more households | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
are likely to miss payments over And there's been a big jump | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
in the number of tourists visiting the UK in the first three | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
months of this year, according to official | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
stats out yesterday. The Office for National Statistics | :21:01. | :21:02. | |
found visits to the UK were up by a fifth to a record | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
8.3 million trips. The decline in the value | :21:06. | :21:12. | |
of the pound has made it cheaper for foreign visitors to come | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
to the UK, but more expensive So, yes, the peak tourist | :21:16. | :21:25. | |
attractions in the UK bracing themselves for a bump in summer if | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
those figures are anything to go by. Thank you. | :21:31. | :21:32. | |
It is one of the most inspirational stories of the Second World War, | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
civilian sailors crossing the English Channel to rescue | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
The iconic mission is the subject of a new film by the director | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
I spoke to him and one of the film's stars, | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
Sir Mark Rylance, who says the bravery shown by the emergency | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
services during the recent disasters in London and Manchester shows that | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
famous Dunkirk spirit still exists today. | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
Why waste precious tanks when they can pick us off in the air | :21:57. | :22:06. | |
What was the moment for you as a director, | :22:07. | :22:17. | |
I supposed, more importanlty, or a human being, the moment | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
when you thought, there is a story about Dunkirk, | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
well-known as it is historically, a story that I can tell? | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
For me it was myself and Emma, my producer, we made a trip 20 years | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
He wanted to make a crossing at about the same time | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
It was incredibly rough, felt very difficult, | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
very dangerous, and that was without people dropping bombs on us. | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
We weren't heading to a war zone, we were just going to present-day | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
These recent disasters in Manchester and London, | :22:49. | :22:59. | |
the two disasters in London, have made us all so much more aware | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
of civilian involvement, and the selflessness and bravery | :23:05. | :23:06. | |
What I wanted to do was build a story using three different | :23:07. | :23:29. | |
timelines, you know, land, sea and air. | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
You are in a Spitfire, you are on the beach with the guys | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
there, you are on a boat with Mark Rylance, | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
We cross-cut between these three timelines to try to build up | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
a coherent picture of the bigger events | :23:46. | :23:47. | |
of Dunkirk but without jumping out of the intense human experience. | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
It's a film that begs questions of yourself. | :23:53. | :23:54. | |
Yeah, I have a cousin who was among the first rescue services | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
And he recounted, you know, decisions firefighters had to make | :24:01. | :24:19. | |
in that terrible staircase on whether to carry on or rescue | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
And the film, for each of the three stories in the film, | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
the characters get to a moment where they have to make a crucial | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
decision, which will affect some people and other people. | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
And someone or a few people will be sacrificed in order | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
You have made some huge films in the past, but making a film | :24:36. | :24:48. | |
about a real-life event, particularly this event, | :24:49. | :24:51. | |
brings with it I imagine extra responsibilities in terms | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
of what you are depicting and whether it's true | :24:57. | :24:58. | |
Well, you do a lot of research, you do a lot of reading. | :24:59. | :25:06. | |
You try and get it under your fingers. | :25:07. | :25:08. | |
And then what I did is I chose fictional characters to guide us | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
through those events and that freed me up as a filmmaker. | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
I wasn't putting words into people's mouths who existed. | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
I wasn't speaking for people who couldn't speak for themselves. | :25:20. | :25:26. | |
Last week I did a screening for veterans, you know, | :25:27. | :25:29. | |
people who'd actually been there on the beach and standing | :25:30. | :25:32. | |
in front of that audience about to show the film was one | :25:33. | :25:35. | |
of the most daunting professional experiences I have had. | :25:36. | :25:37. | |
You can get a sense of the scale of the film through the images, it is | :25:38. | :25:44. | |
massive in scale. You can see my interview with two | :25:45. | :25:46. | |
of the younger stars of the film, Fionn Whitehead and singer Harry | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
Styles, on tomorrow morning's show. Dunkirk is out in | :25:51. | :25:52. | |
cinemas next Friday. We will be going behind the scenes | :25:53. | :26:02. | |
of the world's greatest classical music festival. | :26:03. | :26:04. | |
Tim Muffett is at the Royal Albert Hall for us. | :26:05. | :26:06. | |
Good morning. Good morning from the Royal Albert Hall, listening to | :26:07. | :26:31. | |
these fantastic first professional orchestra made up with a majority of | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
musicians from a black or minority background and they are playing a | :26:37. | :26:45. | |
piece on the 130th year of the Proms, and this has posted it for | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
the 48 year. It is the largest classical music festival and we will | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
speak with more of those taking part a little later. | :26:56. | :26:56. | |
Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. | :26:57. | :30:18. | |
Now, though, it's back to Charlie and Naga. | :30:19. | :30:20. | |
with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty. | :30:21. | :30:35. | |
But now a summary of this morning's main news: | :30:36. | :30:37. | |
Police in east London are investigating five attacks | :30:38. | :30:40. | |
which involved corrosive substances being thrown in people's faces. | :30:41. | :30:42. | |
They all happened within 90 minutes in Hackney | :30:43. | :30:44. | |
One of the victims has what's been described | :30:45. | :30:49. | |
Earlier, the government minister Sarah Newton told Breakfast | :30:50. | :30:53. | |
the Home Office is investigating why these type of attacks | :30:54. | :30:56. | |
This was a shocking attack last night. You know, somebody's left | :30:57. | :31:05. | |
with life changing injuries. This is something we've been | :31:06. | :31:10. | |
concerned about in the Home Office We've been working very closely | :31:11. | :31:12. | |
with our colleagues in law enforcement to get a better picture | :31:13. | :31:16. | |
of actually what is happening, as you quite rightly say, | :31:17. | :31:19. | |
it's happening in pockets The Home Office has launched | :31:20. | :31:21. | |
a new strategy to tackle illegal drug use, with tailored treatment | :31:22. | :31:26. | |
to be given to drug addicts. It follows a rise in | :31:27. | :31:28. | |
drug-related deaths in England and Wales and targets | :31:29. | :31:31. | |
new psychoactive substances. The Home Secretary Amber Rudd said | :31:32. | :31:33. | |
the plan will focus on recovery. The Scottish and Welsh governments | :31:34. | :31:38. | |
have threatened to block the key Brexit bill which will convert | :31:39. | :31:42. | |
all existing EU laws into UK law, that's over what they say is a power | :31:43. | :31:45. | |
grab by Westminster. The Repeal Bill is also facing | :31:46. | :31:48. | |
opposition from Labour But Brexit Secretary David Davis has | :31:49. | :31:50. | |
rejected the criticism and described it as one of the most significant | :31:51. | :31:55. | |
pieces of legislation President Trump will be the guest | :31:56. | :31:58. | |

War. A heatwave across southern Europe | :32:14. | :32:17. | |
has forced some of the region's most famous tourist sites to close | :32:18. | :32:21. | |
during peak holiday season. More than twenty fires have started | :32:22. | :32:23. | |
near Naples and Sicily where the temperatures have climbed | :32:24. | :32:26. | |
above 40 degrees this week. The Greek government has ordered | :32:27. | :32:28. | |
that popular archaeological sites close, and in southern Spain, | :32:29. | :32:31. | |
the drought has devastated crops. Several Spanish cities | :32:32. | :32:34. | |
have experienced record It will reach 46 degrees | :32:35. | :32:35. | |
in Cordoba today. Anyone visiting Stonehenge or Loch | :32:36. | :32:54. | |
Ness earlier this week would have seen a bonus attraction if they had | :32:55. | :32:56. | |
looked up. The Red Arrows and their | :32:57. | :32:57. | |
American counterparts, the Thunderbirds, have been | :32:58. | :32:59. | |
performing some stunning manoeuvres in a practice display from RAF | :33:00. | :33:01. | |
Fairford in Gloucestershire. They were rehearsing ahead of | :33:02. | :33:04. | |
the Royal International Air Tattoo anniversary of the United States Air | :33:05. | :33:07. | |
Force. Those are the main stories. Mike is | :33:08. | :33:20. | |
at Wimbledon for us as the ball bounces along and Mike pops up, good | :33:21. | :33:25. | |
morning. You're looking ahead to the men's semis and a lot of eyes on | :33:26. | :33:29. | |
Federer but you're starting with a look back at events yesterday? It's | :33:30. | :33:35. | |
the time of day to draw breath and reflect with the cover is still on | :33:36. | :33:39. | |
on centre court, a bit of a breeze whistling around, not as warm as it | :33:40. | :33:43. | |
has been but hotter later on, as Carol was saying -- covers. | :33:44. | :33:49. | |
Yesterday Johanna Konta, her dream was ended by Venus Williams, the | :33:50. | :33:54. | |
five-time champion, but we're not too downhearted, especially as | :33:55. | :33:57. | |
through this tournament macrojoker has shown her potential and she | :33:58. | :34:01. | |
believes one day she can go all the way and win the women's Engels. It | :34:02. | :34:06. | |
wasn't to be against Venus Williams, who at the age of 37 is the oldest | :34:07. | :34:11. | |
finalist in the women's since Navratilova in 1994 -- singles. She | :34:12. | :34:15. | |
looked every bit the five-time champion, how playing Konta, who | :34:16. | :34:21. | |
lost in straight sets, 6-4, 6-2, much to the disappointment of home | :34:22. | :34:23. | |
fans at the all England club. Afterwards she thanked fans | :34:24. | :34:26. | |
for their love and support and described the fortnight | :34:27. | :34:29. | |
as a memorable experience. I've definitely enjoyed every single | :34:30. | :34:31. | |
moment I've been here these So I don't think I need too much | :34:32. | :34:34. | |
time for that to sink in or me to analyse that, I've made sure that | :34:35. | :34:39. | |
I've been very present with everything I've done to make | :34:40. | :34:42. | |
sure I have enjoyed and taken the most out of every opportunity | :34:43. | :34:45. | |
and experience I've had. Venus Williams will now play | :34:46. | :34:48. | |
Spain's Garbine Muguruza The 14th seed thrashed the unseeded | :34:49. | :34:50. | |
Magdalena Rybarikova in little over an hour to make it to her | :34:51. | :34:54. | |
second Wimbledon final. There remains some British | :34:55. | :35:00. | |
interest here at Wimbledon, though, Jamie Murray and his partner | :35:01. | :35:02. | |
Martina Hingis are into the mixed doubles semi-finals after beating | :35:03. | :35:06. | |
the all British pairing Murray and Hingis are top seeds | :35:07. | :35:08. | |
and took the match in straight sets to book their place | :35:09. | :35:13. | |
in the last four. And Jamie could be facing a fellow | :35:14. | :35:19. | |
Briton across the net if he makes it to the final because there's | :35:20. | :35:24. | |
a familiar British name in the other semi final, Heather Watson | :35:25. | :35:27. | |
is through with her partner Henri They are the defending champions | :35:28. | :35:29. | |
and could make it back to back titles after they won their match | :35:30. | :35:33. | |
in three sets yesterday. The wheelchair tournaments started | :35:34. | :35:40. | |
yesterday here but there was disappointment for defending | :35:41. | :35:43. | |
champion Britain's Gordon Reid. He lost in the singles in straight | :35:44. | :35:45. | |
sets to Sweden's Steffan Olsson, the man he beat to win | :35:46. | :35:48. | |
the title last year. Better news, though, | :35:49. | :35:51. | |
for Alfie Hewett, he won his first singles | :35:52. | :35:52. | |
match on grass. Away from Wimbledon, | :35:53. | :35:58. | |
the three-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome has lost the leader's | :35:59. | :36:01. | |
yellow jersey in this year's race after a gruelling day | :36:02. | :36:04. | |
in the mountains on Stage 12. Froome said he just didn't | :36:05. | :36:07. | |
have the legs as the race crossed He finished down in seventh, | :36:08. | :36:10. | |
handing the overall lead to rival To football now and Manchester City | :36:11. | :36:14. | |
have agreed a fee of ?50 million for the Tottenham | :36:15. | :36:21. | |
defender Kyle Walker. It's expected he'll sign in time | :36:22. | :36:22. | |
to join his new team-mates before they leave for their pre-season tour | :36:23. | :36:26. | |
of the United States. an impact at his new club is Wayne | :36:27. | :36:28. | |
Rooney. He only signed for Everton on Sunday | :36:29. | :36:33. | |
but has already scored his first goal, this brilliant | :36:34. | :36:36. | |
long-range effort on his debut during their pre-season | :36:37. | :36:38. | |
tour of Tanzania. Back at Wimbledon, I'm delighted to | :36:39. | :36:55. | |
say to talk about the Johanna Konta match, Pete McCraw, former | :36:56. | :36:59. | |
Australian national women's tennis coach and you discovered her, how | :37:00. | :37:05. | |
was she? 12. Yesterday watching her here, did you have flashbacks to | :37:06. | :37:10. | |
that will be rolled? What was ironic is the first time I saw Jo compete | :37:11. | :37:15. | |
was the clay-court championships in Mildura -- 12-year-old. The irony of | :37:16. | :37:20. | |
grass and grass is a great connection. What emotions did you go | :37:21. | :37:25. | |
through yesterday watching her? She has done so well? She has, she has | :37:26. | :37:31. | |
transformed her game, herself, a competitor, pride is the | :37:32. | :37:35. | |
overwhelming emotion I have from the little girl I first saw at 12 or 13, | :37:36. | :37:40. | |
the girl I took to America for six weeks to play an international | :37:41. | :37:44. | |
junior event and then to see her shine on this stage over the last | :37:45. | :37:48. | |
fortnight has been wonderful. Did you think when you saw her when she | :37:49. | :37:53. | |
was 12 that she could go all the way and win the women's singles at | :37:54. | :37:57. | |
Wimbledon? She definitely had the competitive traits, she definitely | :37:58. | :38:01. | |
brought a sense of purpose and love to compete. While she needed to work | :38:02. | :38:07. | |
on her game and while the transition has been a little longer than most | :38:08. | :38:11. | |
of her peers, I think the process she has been through has really | :38:12. | :38:16. | |
transform her as a competitor to what we see today. Are you convinced | :38:17. | :38:20. | |
even more now that she can bounce back having seen her play this week, | :38:21. | :38:23. | |
especially the mental strength we saw a lot of the time, can she win | :38:24. | :38:28. | |
it one day? No doubt, the best is yet to come. Really? Absolutely. | :38:29. | :38:34. | |
WADA she knew to do to go the extra step to beat the likes of Venus | :38:35. | :38:39. | |
Williams -- what Toshi. When you look at the experience of Venus, a | :38:40. | :38:44. | |
five-time champion, one of Jo's assets is her ability to learn and | :38:45. | :38:49. | |
adapt and she will learn a lot from these championships -- what does | :38:50. | :38:53. | |
she. She will grow as a competitor and develop her game. Standing | :38:54. | :38:57. | |
closer on the baseline and taking the ball earlier will make a big | :38:58. | :39:00. | |
difference against someone like Venus. You can't underestimate the | :39:01. | :39:04. | |
pressure of a first semi-final here and having done its O'Malley times | :39:05. | :39:09. | |
like the nurse makes a difference? For some athletes support is... -- | :39:10. | :39:19. | |
so many times -- like Venus. To use the support of the crowd and the | :39:20. | :39:23. | |
backing to get the best out of herself is the way forward. What | :39:24. | :39:28. | |
about the final, Muguruza has been there against Serena, what about | :39:29. | :39:32. | |
Venus? The first semi was a bit difficult to gauge Muguruza's form, | :39:33. | :39:39. | |
given that it was one-sided. Looking at Venus's performance yesterday, | :39:40. | :39:44. | |
you would have to say Venus in straight and Muguruza in three. | :39:45. | :39:49. | |
About the men's, what about Federer, now the other big three have gone? | :39:50. | :39:53. | |
He is the sentimental favourite and he is also the actual favourite. For | :39:54. | :40:00. | |
the benefit of the game it would be a fantastic achievement. They are | :40:01. | :40:04. | |
second up, Federer against Berdych in the second semi-final on Centre | :40:05. | :40:08. | |
Court, you can hear the covers are coming off. Before that it is Cilic | :40:09. | :40:14. | |
against the man who knocked out Andy Murray, Sam Querrey. That's this | :40:15. | :40:17. | |
afternoon, the coverage is on BBC. Also across Radio 5 Live | :40:18. | :40:27. | |
and the BBC Sport website. Will it be as hot as Australia? I | :40:28. | :40:36. | |
don't think so but it depends on where you are. It will be dry when | :40:37. | :40:40. | |
play gets under way today at Wimbledon. What we are looking at is | :40:41. | :40:45. | |
not dissimilar to what we have got, you can see through the roof of | :40:46. | :40:48. | |
Centre Court it is cloudy, remaining cloudy for much of the morning, late | :40:49. | :40:52. | |
morning in the early afternoon it will brighten up and sunshine will | :40:53. | :40:56. | |
be present. The forecast for Wimbledon this afternoon is dry. You | :40:57. | :41:01. | |
will be very unlucky if you see a shower. Temperatures today, up to 20 | :41:02. | :41:06. | |
or 21 in light winds, feeling quite pleasant. This morning there's a lot | :41:07. | :41:11. | |
of cloud across the UK, some of us seeing showers and under the cloud | :41:12. | :41:15. | |
it feels cool but the cloud will break and we will see sunny spells | :41:16. | :41:18. | |
developing more less across-the-board and temperature | :41:19. | :41:21. | |
wise showers will develop. This morning at 9am in southern England, | :41:22. | :41:26. | |
cloud around, some will have sunny breaks and there are a few showers. | :41:27. | :41:31. | |
Further north, East Anglia into the Midlands, the same holds true, the | :41:32. | :41:35. | |
mixture of brighter spells, a few sunny spells and showers. Further | :41:36. | :41:40. | |
north into northern England, a drier start, Scotland a drier start with a | :41:41. | :41:44. | |
few showers and in Northern Ireland, a bright start with sunny skies. | :41:45. | :41:48. | |
Into Wales and south-west England, a bit more cloud around, again here | :41:49. | :41:52. | |
and there you could get the odd shower this morning but equally some | :41:53. | :41:55. | |
good brightness through the afternoon with good spells of | :41:56. | :41:59. | |
sunshine developing. Interesting further east through Dorset and into | :42:00. | :42:03. | |
Hampshire and the Home Counties, similar to what we have at | :42:04. | :42:06. | |
Wimbledon, variable amounts of cloud with a few brighter breaks but | :42:07. | :42:10. | |
through the morning, especially late morning into the early afternoon, | :42:11. | :42:13. | |
where we have the cloud at the moment it will turn over, sunny | :42:14. | :42:17. | |
spells will develop and it will be pleasant. As temperatures rise at | :42:18. | :42:21. | |
the top as I mentioned, there will be a few showers but they will be | :42:22. | :42:25. | |
scattered and most won't see them. By the end of the day a new weather | :42:26. | :42:28. | |
front in western Scotland and Northern Ireland will build the | :42:29. | :42:33. | |
abuse rain. Temperatures up to 22 or 23 -- will introduce. Through the | :42:34. | :42:37. | |
evening and overnight the weather front in Scotland and Northern | :42:38. | :42:41. | |
Ireland sinks south and its east, taking the rain with it. Not as cold | :42:42. | :42:46. | |
a night in the north as the one just gone, but under clearer skies as we | :42:47. | :42:50. | |
come across the west of -- rest of England and Wales, a cooler night | :42:51. | :42:54. | |
than the one just gone so if you've been having trouble sleeping in the | :42:55. | :42:58. | |
night, this is good news. Tomorrow we start with the weather front in | :42:59. | :43:01. | |
parts of Scotland and northern England, continuing to drift east, | :43:02. | :43:05. | |
taking its cloud and patchy light rain and drizzle with it. Behind it, | :43:06. | :43:10. | |
brightening up with the sunshine and the next weather front comes to the | :43:11. | :43:13. | |
north-west. In England and Wales away from the north, starting with | :43:14. | :43:17. | |
clear skies and the sun comes out, feeling more humid and the | :43:18. | :43:21. | |
temperature rising. Into Sunday, remember the weather front in | :43:22. | :43:25. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland? It moves south as a weak feature, so | :43:26. | :43:29. | |
for Scotland, England and Northern Ireland, more sunshine, the chance | :43:30. | :43:33. | |
of a shower, a bright and right start in southern England and Wales | :43:34. | :43:37. | |
but as the front goes south as a weak feature it will introduce more | :43:38. | :43:40. | |
cloud and maybe the odd shower. Temperatures around London, 27. If | :43:41. | :43:46. | |
you're coming to Wimbledon for the men's finals, bear that in mind, | :43:47. | :43:50. | |
feeling humid. If you like it hot, as we head into the middle of next | :43:51. | :43:55. | |
week, parts of southern England, especially the south-east, will be | :43:56. | :43:59. | |
back in the high 20s, maybe even 30, once again, but it does mean we will | :44:00. | :44:05. | |
see thunderstorms again. Always liked reliever or some relief after | :44:06. | :44:09. | |
a spell of hot weather. Lots of comments about the subjectivity of | :44:10. | :44:22. | |
weather, what is hot -- always light relief. In meteorological terms we | :44:23. | :44:27. | |
have standards by which we will say this is considered hot in the summer | :44:28. | :44:31. | |
or this is considered hot in the winter. But personally, I like it | :44:32. | :44:36. | |
about 28 in the summer, dry, sunny, rain at night to water the plants. | :44:37. | :44:43. | |
I'm a 23 girl I think, better for golf! Carol, thanks very much! | :44:44. | :44:45. | |
Now many of us will have been hit with a charge | :44:46. | :44:49. | |
for going over our overdraft limit unexpectedly but for 20 million bank | :44:50. | :44:53. | |
This is all about going over an agreed overdraft limit, | :44:54. | :45:08. | |
so we're talking about unplanned overdrafts. | :45:09. | :45:10. | |
Lloyds Banking Group, which owns Lloyds, Halifax and Bank | :45:11. | :45:13. | |
of Scotland, has announced it's scrapping its fees | :45:14. | :45:15. | |
At the moment, Lloyds customers pay a daily charge if they go | :45:16. | :45:19. | |
over their overdraft limit unexpectedly. | :45:20. | :45:21. | |
If you go above your overdraft limit by between ?10 and ?25, | :45:22. | :45:25. | |
And if you blow your overdraft limit by more than that, | :45:26. | :45:30. | |
From November, those charges will be scrapped. | :45:31. | :45:37. | |
Sue Hayward is a personal finance expert and she is with us. | :45:38. | :45:49. | |
My first question is whether this will encourage people into | :45:50. | :45:56. | |
overspending. If there isn't a limit, if there isn't a threat of | :45:57. | :46:00. | |
charge, will people spend too much? I don't think they will at all. What | :46:01. | :46:05. | |
the banks are doing, with the Lloyds group, the amount you can go over, | :46:06. | :46:12. | |
they will cut the fees free buffer rather drastically, which means | :46:13. | :46:16. | |
people won't have the option and in some cases they might have to clear | :46:17. | :46:19. | |
the overdraft before they can spend more money. It is not an open bank | :46:20. | :46:24. | |
account to spend as much as you like. And of course, don't forget, a | :46:25. | :46:31. | |
lot of people have a fee free buffer zone. We might see people switching | :46:32. | :46:37. | |
banks to go to a different bank that offers more for their money. Will | :46:38. | :46:41. | |
the banks be able to make the money back somehow? They are charging a | :46:42. | :46:45. | |
little more in interest rates for some overdrafts? They are. The banks | :46:46. | :46:50. | |
are not that generous, they are not charities. They are there to make | :46:51. | :46:53. | |
money. If they are going to lose money, in the sense they will not | :46:54. | :46:57. | |
charge as much, we could see overcharges in credit cards. Over | :46:58. | :47:01. | |
the last couple of years we have seen the Bank of England base rate | :47:02. | :47:04. | |
go down. Savings rates have been particular shabby. What has happened | :47:05. | :47:09. | |
is interest rates on credit cards have been creeping up to over 20%. | :47:10. | :47:13. | |
There might be little charges that they sneak in and we don't notice in | :47:14. | :47:17. | |
the small print all the terms and conditions where we might get hit. | :47:18. | :47:21. | |
We heard from the Bank of England more concerns about people's | :47:22. | :47:25. | |
personal debt, household debt. People seem to be using credit cards | :47:26. | :47:29. | |
to pay other credit cards are today off other debts. That is a concern. | :47:30. | :47:35. | |
It is, yes. The number of credit cards, these 0% deals, is being cut. | :47:36. | :47:40. | |
There are some at the moment where you can get three and a half years | :47:41. | :47:45. | |
of interest-free credit. Those deals are not available to everybody. It | :47:46. | :47:49. | |
depends on your financial circumstances. The banks are cutting | :47:50. | :47:53. | |
back on those as well. We might see less of those in future. Are we | :47:54. | :47:57. | |
likely to see the other banks follow suit? This is Lloyds, will others be | :47:58. | :48:03. | |
pressured into the same thing? The financial conduct authority is on | :48:04. | :48:06. | |
their case and they say you have to do something about this. More will | :48:07. | :48:10. | |
follow. Thank you very much for joining us. Good news for banking | :48:11. | :48:14. | |
customers, especially those who may occasionally drift into the | :48:15. | :48:17. | |
overdraft without necessarily planning to. Thank you very much. We | :48:18. | :48:25. | |
are very lucky on Breakfast to go behind-the-scenes in places and here | :48:26. | :48:29. | |
we are, this low shot this morning inside the hallowed surroundings of | :48:30. | :48:33. | |
the Royal Albert Hall. Of course, the Proms about to start, returning | :48:34. | :48:36. | |
for the 123rd year. And for the first time | :48:37. | :48:38. | |
ever, Breakfast is live inside the Royal Albert Hall, | :48:39. | :48:41. | |
home to the musical extravaganza So, there is history there. As well | :48:42. | :48:51. | |
as of course passion for music. That is Nicola Benedetti, I think. | :48:52. | :48:54. | |
Indeed, performing Shostakovich's violin Concerto number one, one of | :48:55. | :49:08. | |
the most successful violinist. It will be her sixth time at the Proms. | :49:09. | :49:16. | |
The 120 30 of the world's largest classical music festival. Eight | :49:17. | :49:20. | |
weeks of music ahead. Very exciting. Katie is one of the presenters, and | :49:21. | :49:26. | |
also Anushka, performing for the third time at the Proms on the | :49:27. | :49:31. | |
sitar. What are the highlights? Welcome to our summer home. It is | :49:32. | :49:34. | |
really rather nice. It will be a fabulous season. Highlights from all | :49:35. | :49:40. | |
sorts of young performers, world-class names you will have | :49:41. | :49:43. | |
heard of, the best classical musicians in the world come here. | :49:44. | :49:46. | |
Eight weeks this summer with over 90 concerts. What is wonderful is there | :49:47. | :49:52. | |
is music for everyone. Of course it is classical music, there is jazz, | :49:53. | :49:57. | |
soul, pop, world music. You are going to hear more about that as | :49:58. | :50:01. | |
well. And although most of the concerts are here, we go out and | :50:02. | :50:06. | |
about, the Proms on the road, and it is going out of London to Hull. | :50:07. | :50:12. | |
There are the attempts to make classical music more relevant to | :50:13. | :50:15. | |
more people. What has happened this year specifically? I love this | :50:16. | :50:21. | |
question. The Proms started 123 years ago with the sole intent of | :50:22. | :50:27. | |
making classical music as outwardly diverse and accessible as possible. | :50:28. | :50:30. | |
You can come here any night and get a ticket for just a couple of quid | :50:31. | :50:34. | |
and stand here in the arena. There is never a sold-out concert because | :50:35. | :50:38. | |
you can always have tickets in the day. That was the idea, get as many | :50:39. | :50:42. | |
people to great music as possible. Yes, a lot of youth appearing this | :50:43. | :50:46. | |
year. We have the first black and Asian and ethnic minority orchestra, | :50:47. | :50:50. | |
we have wonderful diversity from around the world. The whole idea is | :50:51. | :50:56. | |
you can come along to the Proms and have a great time for not free much | :50:57. | :51:00. | |
money and just... Get on to listen to a lot of great music. It had been | :51:01. | :51:05. | |
accusations that it is only test, although it has clearly changed, and | :51:06. | :51:09. | |
has a change for ever? The Proms have mashed up classical and pop | :51:10. | :51:14. | |
music. It is different to what it was when it first began in 1895. | :51:15. | :51:20. | |
Well, of course it is, a lot has changed, Tim, we can all agree since | :51:21. | :51:26. | |
then. If you want to come and see tributes to Ella Fitzgerald. The | :51:27. | :51:33. | |
late-night Proms are amazing. One of the best nights I had was the Ibetha | :51:34. | :51:42. | |
from. You can't assume it is just a whole load of stuff, you know, the | :51:43. | :51:46. | |
old-fashioned view that it is stuffy musicians. It really is not at all. | :51:47. | :51:50. | |
It is great music. That is what you have to remember. Whatever you music | :51:51. | :51:54. | |
you come to watch, it is the best in the world. Lovely. Thank you very | :51:55. | :52:01. | |
much. Now, Anushka, pass sister Norah Jones, you will perform on the | :52:02. | :52:05. | |
sitar for the third time at the Proms. What is it like? I have | :52:06. | :52:10. | |
played a couple of times outside the Proms as well and it is incredible. | :52:11. | :52:17. | |
Just in and of itself. And the Proms are something special. It is the | :52:18. | :52:21. | |
most iconic classical musical festival in the world. To play it | :52:22. | :52:26. | |
there is a special feeling and I think it is something that feels | :52:27. | :52:30. | |
accessible. You can see the standing seats, it is a diverse group of | :52:31. | :52:36. | |
people. Not the same as other classical audiences. It feels a lot | :52:37. | :52:40. | |
more diverse. That is exciting. Your instrument, in India, is seen as a | :52:41. | :52:45. | |
male instrument. That has changed more recently. He performed with | :52:46. | :52:51. | |
your late father as well. When you perform, does it feel special to | :52:52. | :52:55. | |
perform an instrument, non-traditional classical | :52:56. | :52:57. | |
instrument, in the British sense in such an historic venue? I appreciate | :52:58. | :53:03. | |
getting to present Indian music in something like the Proms. It is an | :53:04. | :53:07. | |
important symbol of diversity to have that. This will be a special | :53:08. | :53:11. | |
night, premiering music never performed live before. It is an | :53:12. | :53:16. | |
album called Passages with my father and Philip Glass. Outside of that I | :53:17. | :53:20. | |
am one of the few female instrumentalist outplay sitar but | :53:21. | :53:24. | |
they do not have gender, so, you know, I just play this instrument. I | :53:25. | :53:29. | |
will tell you what we should do, let's listen to the players as we | :53:30. | :53:33. | |
chat a little longer, because, as you were saying, tell us about these | :53:34. | :53:37. | |
musicians, they are very special in many ways. They are tremendous. You | :53:38. | :53:42. | |
will have seen the base earlier, this was set up a couple of years | :53:43. | :53:49. | |
ago. Fantastic musicians. So much work has been done to try to get | :53:50. | :53:53. | |
away from the idea that classical music is for white old men. It | :53:54. | :53:56. | |
really isn't. We all know that. There are a lot of amazing musicians | :53:57. | :54:00. | |
from all sorts of backgrounds. Traditionally they were not many | :54:01. | :54:05. | |
visible on stage in European orchestras. This was something that | :54:06. | :54:09. | |
I know was strongly felt about, to provide a place where it was normal | :54:10. | :54:13. | |
to be from an ethnic minority playing traditional classical music | :54:14. | :54:17. | |
on a stage like this. It has been the most tremendous success of. It | :54:18. | :54:24. | |
is absolutely fantastic. And the key thing is more people, the more who | :54:25. | :54:28. | |
engage with classical music, the better, and that is a done deal in | :54:29. | :54:32. | |
many ways, isn't it, that is happening at the moment? I would | :54:33. | :54:36. | |
like to think so, yes, and I bank my drum for this every year. I have | :54:37. | :54:40. | |
played classical music since I was a kid. But I always say is it is part | :54:41. | :54:48. | |
of the music around us all the time, whether it is film music, like John | :54:49. | :54:52. | |
Williams, it is therefore stop it is just wonder. White -- it is just | :54:53. | :54:58. | |
there. If we can get one more from the players as we headed back, that | :54:59. | :55:02. | |
would be lovely. It all kicks off this evening. There are eight weeks | :55:03. | :55:05. | |
of classical music. This evening it begins and it goes on until | :55:06. | :55:10. | |
September. The Proms has, long way in the last 123 years. | :55:11. | :55:16. | |
-- the Proms has come a long way in the last 123 years. | :55:17. | :55:33. | |
Well, wasn't that lovely? And how did they know that we had to come | :55:34. | :55:40. | |
out of that moment? That was exquisite timing. Time to | :55:41. | :55:41. | |
perfection. We'll talk to Sir David | :55:42. | :55:47. | |
Attenborough about his fears for the UK's butterfly population | :55:48. | :55:49. | |
and what you can do to help sent in of butterflies in your | :55:50. | :55:52. | |
sent in of butterflies in your Hello, this is Breakfast, with | :55:53. | :59:15. | |
Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty. Five people are attacked | :59:16. | :59:56. | |
with acid in London One person has suffered | :59:57. | :59:58. | |
life-changing injuries. The Government tells this | :59:59. | :00:03. | |
programme it's taking action This was a shocking attack last | :00:04. | :00:16. | |
night, one person has a life changing injuries, and this is | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
something we have been concerned about in the Home Office for some | :00:19. | :00:19. | |
time. Good morning, it's | :00:20. | :00:29. | |
Friday, 14th July. New measures to tackle | :00:30. | :00:30. | |
a rise in drug-related deaths are announced - | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
they'll target so-called legal highs After dinner together | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
in the Eiffel Tower, President Trump joins | :00:38. | :00:46. | |
President Macron of France for the country's | :00:47. | :00:47. | |
Bastille Day celebrations. Actor Mark Rylance tells us how | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
he thinks the spirit of Dunkirk depicted in his latest film has been | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
reflected in recent events. These recent disasters in Manchester | :00:53. | :01:06. | |
and London, the two disasters in London, have made us all so much | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
more aware of civilian involvement and the selflessness and bravery of | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
the civilian rescue services. The 123rd prom season begins this | :01:14. | :01:33. | |
evening, you are listening to a piece by hollyhocks. We will be | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
speaking to the musicians taking part in the world's largest | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
classical music festival. Here at Wimbledon, the dream | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
is over for Johanna Konta, She says she can win the women's | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
title in years to come. She lost her semi-final | :01:45. | :01:52. | |
yesterday to five-time Talking of Venus, there is that | :01:53. | :02:03. | |
song, she's got it, she's still got it. | :02:04. | :02:11. | |
Good morning, it is a chilly start at Wimbledon, also quite a cloudy | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
one but it should brighten up and stay dry. For the UK as a whole, | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
cloudy with a few showers, sunny spells developing and further | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
showers this afternoon in the north-west later. More detail on all | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
of that later in the programme. Thank you, see you later on. | :02:28. | :02:28. | |
Police in East London are investigating five attacks | :02:29. | :02:33. | |
which involved corrosive substances being thrown in people's faces. | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
One of the victims has suffered what's been described | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
The incidents all happened within 90 minutes in Hackney | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
One teenager has been arrested on suspicion of grievous | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
Andy Moore's report contains some distressing images. | :02:46. | :02:53. | |
This was the scene of the most serious attack last night, | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
the victim was apparently delivering takeaway food when a pair of men | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
Police say a corrosive substance was thrown in his face. | :03:03. | :03:10. | |
He was taken to hospital with what they described | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
In the space of just over an hour, police were alerted | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
to five very similar attacks, the motive on each occasion | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
The Government says it is keen to crack down on this type of crime. | :03:21. | :03:31. | |
This was a shocking attack last night. Somebody is left with life | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
changing injuries and this is something that we've been concerned | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
about in the Home Office for some time. We've been working very | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
closely with our colleagues in law enforcement to get a better picture | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
of actually what is happening, as you quite rightly say it is | :03:47. | :03:47. | |
happening in pockets of the country. Acid attacks in England | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
have doubled since 2012. 21-year-old Resham Khan | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
and her cousin Jameel Mukhtar were attacked shortly after they had | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
been celebrating her 21st Acid was thrown through | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
the window of their car. My face started melting, | :03:59. | :04:06. | |
my clothes started to burn, my shorts started sticking | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
to me, there was smoke Moped crime is also on the increase, | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
especially in London. Delivery drivers in east London | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
say they've been faced by an escalating crime wave | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
from knife-wielding gangs. The Home Office has launched | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
a new strategy to tackle illegal drug use, with tailored treatment | :04:23. | :04:38. | |
to be given to drug addicts. It follows a rise in | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
drug-related deaths in England and Wales and targets | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
new psychoactive substances. The Home Secretary Amber Rudd said | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
the plan will focus on recovery. The Scottish and Welsh governments | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
have threatened to block the key Brexit bill which will convert | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
all existing EU laws into UK law, over what they say is a "power | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
grab" by Westminster. The Repeal Bill is also facing | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
opposition from Labour and other Our political correspondent | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
Chris Mason joins us now You can always make things clear and | :04:59. | :05:07. | |
no-one is under any illusions, this is complicated, isn't it grows by | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
pro-1 of those examples, the EU bill, there is already a row over | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
this one? Yes, there is, it is mighty | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
complicated, this, and pretty difficult to explain but let me have | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
a crack. What the Government was doing and is doing with the | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
blueprint for Brexit is setting out how it goes about untying the UK | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
from 40 odd years of association with the EU, in | :05:33. | :05:43. | |
terms cutting and pasting all of the laws that Brussels has made on our | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
behalf and turning them into British law on day one after Brexit so there | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
are no black holes in terms of laws and regulations. But exactly how | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
that works is causing 360 degrees of scrutiny, Labour asking awkward | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
questions, some Conservatives asking awkward questions, and crucially | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
awkward questions from Scotland and Wales, the devolved administrations. | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
Powers that will come back from Brussels that could eventually end | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
up in Belfast, Edinburgh and Cardiff are coming via Westminster and that | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
is causing real anxiety. Listen to the concern of the First Minister of | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
Wales, for instance. It is not one rule for London and then different | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
rules for everybody else, the UK is a partnership of four nations, or | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
what is it? It is hugely important we work together to deliver a Brexit | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
that works for everybody and that means showing proper respect to | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The first ministers outside | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
of London can't stop Brexit happening altogether but they can | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
cause no end of grief to the process and Downing Street is well aware of | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
that and well aware of where else the criticism could come from as | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
well. This is going to be a rocky couple of years the Theresa May, if | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
she lasts that long. Chris, thank you. | :06:56. | :06:56. | |
Crowds are expected to line the streets for the funeral | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
The six-year-old Sunderland fan won a legion of supporters | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
across the country, including footballer Jermain Defoe, who has | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
left training in Spain to be at the funeral. | :07:10. | :07:11. | |
Bradley died last Friday after suffering from a rare cancer. | :07:12. | :07:18. | |

A helicopter can cost hundreds of pounds per hour | :07:22. | :07:30. | |
but the remote-controlled miniature alternative | :07:31. | :07:31. | |

President Donald Trump is in Paris to discuss US relations with French | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
He has been the guest of honour at many of | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
the city's famous landmarks - including the Eiffel Tower, | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
You looked that up, ?170 per head is what you would pay? | :07:50. | :08:03. | |
Normally, it is probably more expensive on this occasion! | :08:04. | :08:05. | |
Maybe they got a special deal. They'll meet again at the Bastille | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
Day celebrations in Paris. Our reporter Hugh | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
Schofield is there. We can see people lining the | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
streets, very much very keen to welcome President Trump? | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
They are, and in an hour or so the parade will start down the | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
Champs-Elysees where I am standing and the final preparations are | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
underway, watching soldiers, beautifully turned out, putting on | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
the final changes and joking in their bright red cravat and helping | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
each other to looks big and span and in an hour the first troop. Marching | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
down. Americans, by the way, this year, because this year marks 100 | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
years since the United States joined the First World War and that is why | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
Donald Trump is here, the invitation was to come and represent America | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
for this very important anniversary, coincidentally, but of course it | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
comes also with diplomatic baggage around it, Emmanuel Macron and | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
Donald Trump seem to have forged a friendship or at least a | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
relationship that is functioning and which, from the French point of | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
view, will serve the purpose of keeping Donald Trump and America | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
within the camp, stopping the isolation of Trump, which the French | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
beard is what was happening. It is interesting as you talk about | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
that relationship being built upon and how, I don't know, how people in | :09:34. | :09:40. | |
the press are perceiving Trump with other leaders, there are still | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
comments being picked up on about what Donald Trump did or did not say | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
to Emmanuel Macron's wife and in relation to the general political | :09:48. | :09:59. | |
sense of unease at the moment? Yes, there were remarks that Donald | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
Trump made yesterday, basically complimenting Emmanuel Macron's | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
wife, a much older woman of course, which had been reported and spun and | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
indicating that his crudeness has not gone away, shall we say, but | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
that is not being made much of here in France. One aspect of this which | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
I heard you referred to in the earlier discussion is why are there | :10:23. | :10:32. | |
no protest here? The French are not big fans of Donald Trump at all but | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
they are not protesting, largely because it is holiday time here, | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
summer is coming, the French really switch off politics now and will | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
give him a good welcome. Always good to talk to you, thank | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
you very much. Apologies for a bit of a break-up, the technical | :10:51. | :10:52. | |
gremlins tackling us again, but we got the gist of what he was saying, | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
President Trump expected to arrive for the parade in about an hour. | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
Sunshine in Paris, but further south the temperatures are getting warm | :11:02. | :11:02. | |
across southern Europe. It has forced some | :11:03. | :11:10. | |
of the region's most famous tourist sites to close | :11:11. | :11:12. | |
during peak holiday season. More than 20 fires have started | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
near Naples and Sicily, where the temperatures have climbed | :11:16. | :11:17. | |
above 40 degrees celsius this week. The Greek government has | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
ordered that popular In southern Spain, | :11:21. | :11:21. | |
the drought has devastated crops. Several Spanish cities | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
have experienced record It will reach a record 47 | :11:26. | :11:27. | |
degrees in Cordoba today. We will get a full weather update | :11:28. | :11:40. | |
for over year with Carol in every moment. | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
Fewer people are taking illegal drugs than in recent years but | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
according to the Home Office there has been a dramatic increase in | :11:52. | :11:59. | |
deaths from drugs in England and Wales. | :12:00. | :12:06. | |
The first new strategy for seven years aims to target | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
what are described as "new threats" such as former legal highs | :12:10. | :12:11. | |
There will be more monitoring of those who use drugs to better target | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
the help available. With us now is Eve Christian, | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
a former drugs user who now helps support others with addiction | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
problems, and in our Westminster studio is Ed Morrow, | :12:23. | :12:24. | |
from the Royal Society Ed, let me begin with you. Your | :12:25. | :12:35. | |
reaction to this programme, there is no new money, no decriminalisation | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
when it comes to the use of drugs or for drug users, those are some | :12:41. | :12:47. | |
criticisms levied at it. What are some positives? This is a small step | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
in the right direction, there is an increased emphasis on recovery, on | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
harm reduction, on getting people into treatment, but really without | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
the new money to facilitate that we are still facing a problem where | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
huge numbers of people are suffering harm from drug use because they are | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
not accessing the services that they need, the majority of deaths we have | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
seen recently, those people have never been in contact with | :13:12. | :13:22. | |
treatment, so if we don't remove the barrier of criminalisation and put | :13:23. | :13:24. | |
more money into treatment services, we are not going to get those people | :13:25. | :13:26. | |
into contact with treatment services. Eve, we will talk about | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
what you think works in a moment but it is worth establishing, for people | :13:30. | :13:31. | |
who don't know your story, how bad things were bored you, and I'm | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
looking at a quote here, you said yourself, a drugs worker you first | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
came into contact with said, I really don't know how you are not | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
dead? You were five stone, a combination of drink and drugs? It | :13:45. | :13:51. | |
was, yes. I started out a heavy drinker, turned to drugs, the last | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
two years of my addiction were the worst, I would climb into a cupboard | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
because I couldn't stand the sound of my own breath because I had | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
turned to crack cocaine as well and I didn't know where to go to help. I | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
had been to my doctor several times, there was no literature anywhere, no | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
one pointing me in the right direction, and it was actually | :14:14. | :14:15. | |
social services that gave me the number to my local community | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
drugs... And they were in touch, you had young children at the time? Yes, | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
two of my children had been removed at that time, there was no social | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
service involvement, I became homeless so they had to go and stay | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
with their dad and luckily enough he was such a fantastic father social | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
services never had to get involved, but when I got clean they never came | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
back to me, they stayed with their dad. They are now adults and we have | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
a healthy, strong relationship, but I had had another child later on and | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
she remained with me, she was two when I decided to get help. We spoke | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
earlier to a Government minister about this new idea, no new money, | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
as we have heard. From your experience, what are the things that | :15:04. | :15:05. | |
really work that can help people and genuinely make a | :15:06. | :15:26. | |
difference? I work for a charity called Action On Addiction and we | :15:27. | :15:28. | |
have lots of services available and their people helped me, I went into | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
the 12-step treatment programme with them, which is now slightly adapted, | :15:32. | :15:33. | |
we offer two routes to recovery, centred around an interpersonal | :15:34. | :15:35. | |
approach, your relationships, and that is what worked for me. I | :15:36. | :15:37. | |
currently get people ready to move into abstinence for recovery. The | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
problem is how many of those programmes are available and how | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
people find out about it? That is the issue, yes, we try to get out | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
there as much as we can and I'm sure people have heard of The Brink, a | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
bar in Liverpool, and my services are based in there, we have drugs | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
and alcohol counsellor, and a family programme because it is not just | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
addiction, the addict, it is a family illness and the family must | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
recover from it as well. I brought great shame on my own family and it | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
took time to rebuild those relationships and I think that is | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
what has worked best for me. When I went for help I was met with | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
understanding and compassion, and grace. | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
Ed, you are listening to leave and the focus on... What did you call | :16:25. | :16:32. | |
it, the step towards abstinence or preparation for abstinence? Is that | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
when you think the resources should be focused? There are different | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
forms of treatment. There is the issue of abstinence -based treatment | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
which works for some people but perhaps not so well for others. We | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
need to be flexible in the treatment we are delivering. One of the things | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
we think is good with this new strategy is the appointment of a new | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
champion, which has more of a focus on looking at the fundamental | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
deterrents to people/ use. -- determinants to people/ use. Things | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
like unemployment, homelessness, mental health problems. We need to | :17:11. | :17:12. | |
address those issues when people have come out of recovery. To be | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
fair, that is what the minister said, those are the resources being | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
tied together. They say that is how you tackle something like this. It | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
is hugely important, another positive movement is moving the | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
measure of success about successful treatment completion from six to 12 | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
months after completion so we are not putting people out as a | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
successful completion and seeing them falling back into dependency | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
and coming back to the system. But it remains to be seen whether the | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
recovery champion is a gimmick or if resources will improve those factors | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
and support people back into a normal life which gives them a | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
platform to avoid dependency in the future. Tomorrow, and even, thank | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
you both very much. We met your 11-year-old daughter | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
this morning, possibly the best evidence of your story and recovery. | :18:08. | :18:13. | |
She certainly is. She is very confident. She is. Thank you. | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
Shall we find out what is happening in the weather? We had some really | :18:19. | :18:26. | |
scorching and pleasant temperatures across the European mainland, | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
luckily we will not experience any thing so horrible -- scorching and | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
unpleasant. Yesterday in southern Spain the | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
temperature hit 46.6 Celsius. We would round that up to 47, a | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
whopping and very uncomfortable 116.6 Fahrenheit. That heat is | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
coming our way, but not to that extent. Into next week, parts of | :18:53. | :19:00. | |
southern England could hit 28, 29 or even 30. But when we see those kinds | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
of levels, it all breaks down in a thundery maths. That is likely to | :19:07. | :19:13. | |
happen next week. If you are out and about this morning, it is a chilly | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
start. It is bright with quite a lot of cloud here at Wimbledon this | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
morning, some showers as a result. The forecast the Wimbledon, when | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
play gets under way, is try. Variable shallots, sunny spells, | :19:28. | :19:34. | |
highs of 20 or 21 and light breezes. When the cloud cover comes over it | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
feels chilly. When we lose this cloud, for many we are looking at | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
sunny spells and showers. We have showers in the forecast this | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
morning. At 9am across southern England we have guys like this with | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
cloud, some breaks in it, so some blue sky, but also some showers | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
continuing to East Anglia. Northern England, Scotland and | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
Northern Ireland, a similar story, bright and sunny spells and the | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
cloud thick enough for the odd shower. | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
Across the Irish Sea into Wales, a similar story. The same for the | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
Midlands. Some bright spells but quite a bit of cloud around. That is | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
producing the odd shower. Even the south-west of England is not immune | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
through the morning but it will brighten up very nicely for you. As | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
we drift from Gloucestershire into Dorset, Hampshire, the Home | :20:28. | :20:34. | |
Counties, a similar story. Some clouds, some breaks, some sunshine | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
and the odd shower. Many of the showers will fade through the | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
morning, the cloud will break out by late morning/ early afternoon, lots | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
of us will be dry with sunny spells. Through the afternoon we could see | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
some scattered showers develop. By no means will we all see them. By | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
the end of the afternoon, the weather front will produce rain | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
across western Scotland and Northern Ireland. This evening and overnight, | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
that will move south and east, taking the cloud and rain with it. | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
Across Scotland, northern England and Northern Ireland, a milder | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
nights. And a clear skies, further south, for the rest of England and | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
Wales, a night than the one just gone -- under more clear further | :21:18. | :21:25. | |
south. Some patchy light rain and showers | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
on Saturday, behind that it brightens up nicely with sunshine, | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
but later a new weather front will come into the north-west, | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
introducing more rain. For southern areas, for the rest of England away | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
from the North and Wales, we are looking at variable cloud with some | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
sunny spells, with a temperature continuing to climb. In this Sunday, | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
the weather front across Scotland and Northern Ireland sinks | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
southwards. For Scotland, northern England and Northern Ireland on | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
Sunday we will see some sunshine and one or two showers. After a bright | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
and sunny start in the south of England and South Wales, the weather | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
front comes south, introducing more cloud, we will also see the odd | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
shower from bad. It will feel more humid, highs of 27. | :22:09. | :22:17. | |
Thank you, Carol The weather is closely related to the next story, | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
featuring British butterflies. It's a critical summer | :22:22. | :22:23. | |
for the UK's butterflies, with even the most common of species | :22:24. | :22:25. | |
experiencing a significant But it's hoped that this year's warm | :22:26. | :22:27. | |
weather could see populations bounce back and the Big Butterfly Count | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
launches today to see Sir David Attenborough is President | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
of the Butterfly Conservation charity and joins us now | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
from the London Wetland Centre. I am very pleased to say he can join | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
us. Good morning. Thank you very much for talking to us. Good | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
morning. How can people help? How do you count and record butterflies and | :22:49. | :22:55. | |
how will that help? Initially the Big Butterfly Count is to discover | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
what is happening. Last year was the fourth worst year on record in terms | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
of butterflies. What we want to know is what is happening this year. It | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
looks pretty promising at the moment, but what people can do is go | :23:11. | :23:17. | |
into a garden or an open place, some sunny place, and start looking | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
around for 15 minutes and tell us how many butterflies they saw and | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
what kinds they were. Even if they don't see any at all, that is an | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
important piece of information. Having done that for 15 minutes, how | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
many they are, you can get a chart from the Internet to tell you what | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
they were, then tell us on the Internet. That will give us lots of | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
valuable statistics. I should apologise for calling you Sir | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
Richard, said David, a slip of the tongue. What are the most common -- | :23:49. | :23:57. | |
why are the most common butterfly species like the common White | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
declining? That is exactly what we want to know. Can you hear me now? I | :24:03. | :24:09. | |
can hear you. The most common ones as opposed to the more rare ones? | :24:10. | :24:16. | |
Yes. In the past, the thing about butterflies, all those are fairly | :24:17. | :24:26. | |
common. What were once common, the populations are going up and going | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
down. Last year was very bad. This year is beginning to look good, | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
partly because we have the good weather. Butterflies can bounce | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
back. Female butterflies lay so many eggs that if only a tiny proportion | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
of them survive they are doing quite well, but if conditions are good | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
then you will get a lot of butterflies of different kinds. And | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
we hope you will. That is what we want to discover. Which species do | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
you miss seeing the most at the moment? There are four common ones, | :24:57. | :25:06. | |
the peacock is very beautiful, one of the most. Happily it is one of | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
the more common ones. Bread and rolls are very exciting but not | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
doing quite as well as peacocks -- red Admirals are very exciting. | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
There is the ringlets, the meadow brown, the clouded white. You will | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
find a chart of 18 of the most common plus two of the day flying | :25:27. | :25:30. | |

interesting talking about the smaller creatures in life, we have | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
often spoken about how the humble bee is threatened and how important | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
the bumblebee is to conservation, and the Butterfly. How should we | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
link this all and that this ecosystem together? How do we put | :25:49. | :25:55. | |
them all together? We don't have too. But the more you know about | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
these things the more you can put them together and get around eight | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
-- get a rounded picture. Once you start looking at butterflies, as you | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
say, you suddenly see bumblebees. And there might be more bumblebees | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
than we thought. There are societies you can join that will specialise in | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
bumblebees. But what we are talking about butterflies. Have you seen any | :26:20. | :26:25. | |
this morning? Have I seen any? No, it is a bit early, not warm enough | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
yet. Butterflies like the warm weather. And when they come up they | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
are very important because they fertilise plants. They pollinate | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
them. Sir David Attenborough, it is a joy talking to you. Thank you very | :26:41. | :26:41. | |
much. It looks so tranquil, then you hear | :26:42. | :26:44. | |

the plan will focus on recovery. The Scottish and Welsh governments | :31:36. | :31:38. | |
have threatened to block the key Brexit bill which will convert | :31:39. | :31:40. | |

this morning... Jo Konta's Wimbledon dream | :33:08. | :33:13. | |
might be over but there's still plenty of tennis for us | :33:14. | :33:16. | |
to get excited about. We'll be live on Centre Court | :33:17. | :33:18. | |
and looking ahead to We'll hear from the Oscar winning | :33:19. | :33:20. | |
actor Sir Mark Rylance on his latest film "Dunkirk", | :33:21. | :33:27. | |
and how he believes the spirit of that famous Second World War | :33:28. | :33:30. | |
evacuation still exists today. And is reality TV changing | :33:31. | :33:37. | |

of Love Island is travelling Only a few days left, with this | :33:43. | :33:57. | |
giant bouncing ball behind us... You love it, you love the ball! And it | :33:58. | :34:04. | |
means that Mike turns up there! We have a day ahead of ourselves, men's | :34:05. | :34:09. | |
semifinals day, Roger Federer with a lot of excitement to come? Yes, I | :34:10. | :34:14. | |
pop out of my box at this time when the bouncing ball comes across! We | :34:15. | :34:18. | |
must not be downhearted about the likes of Andy Murray and Johanna | :34:19. | :34:23. | |
Konta leaving, a lock to look forward to, the men's semifinals, on | :34:24. | :34:27. | |
Centre Court, Rick is mowing the lawn, there's a lot of interest with | :34:28. | :34:31. | |
Jamie Murray and Heather Watson still involved in mixed doubles, and | :34:32. | :34:36. | |
Andy Hewitt is doing well in the next wheelchair doubles. Let's | :34:37. | :34:38. | |
reflect on Johanna Konta. So there was huge disappointment | :34:39. | :34:41. | |
here yesterday as for the second day running, the big British hope | :34:42. | :34:43. | |
was knocked out of the tournament. She remains defiant that her showing | :34:44. | :34:51. | |
here at Wimbledon means that she can one day go on and win the women's | :34:52. | :34:55. | |
title. She takes confidence, in spite of her defeat, to the | :34:56. | :35:00. | |
five-time champion Venus Williams, who looked imperious. The oldest | :35:01. | :35:08. | |
women's since Martina Navratilova in 1984, the five-time champion going | :35:09. | :35:13. | |
back to her best. Johanna Konta lost in straight sets, 6-4, 6-2, | :35:14. | :35:17. | |
admittedly to the disappointment of the home fans here at the | :35:18. | :35:18. | |
All-England Club. Afterwards she thanked fans | :35:19. | :35:22. | |
for their "love and support" and described the fortnight | :35:23. | :35:24. | |
as a memorable experience. Venus Williams will now play | :35:25. | :35:26. | |
Spain's Garbine Muguruza The 14th seed thrashed the unseeded | :35:27. | :35:28. | |
Magdalena Rybarikova in little over an hour to make it to her second | :35:29. | :35:33. | |
Wimbledon final. There remains some British interest | :35:34. | :35:36. | |
here at Wimbledon though - Jamie Murray and his partner | :35:37. | :35:40. | |
Martina Hingis are into the mixed doubles semi finals after beating | :35:41. | :35:47. | |
the all-British pairing Murray and Hingis are top seeds | :35:48. | :35:49. | |
and took the match in straight sets. Heather Watson and her | :35:50. | :35:53. | |
partner Henri Kontinen - who are the defending champions - | :35:54. | :35:55. | |
also made it to the semi finals. The wheelchair tournaments started | :35:56. | :36:01. | |
yesterday here but there was disappointment for defending | :36:02. | :36:05. | |
champion Britain's Gordon Reid. He lost in the singles in straight | :36:06. | :36:09. | |
sets to Sweden's Stefan Olsson - the man he beat to win | :36:10. | :36:13. | |
the title last year. There's no British women left | :36:14. | :36:15. | |
in the singles draw etiher but better news for Alfie Hewett | :36:16. | :36:17. | |
he achieved his first Away from Wimbledon, | :36:18. | :36:20. | |
the three-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome has lost the leader's | :36:21. | :36:29. | |
yellow jersey in this year's race after a gruelling day | :36:30. | :36:32. | |
in the mountains on Stage 12. Froome said he just didn't | :36:33. | :36:34. | |
have the legs as the race He finished down in seventh, | :36:35. | :36:37. | |
handing the overall lead to rival Wayne Rooney is already | :36:38. | :36:44. | |
making an impact back He only signed for them | :36:45. | :36:46. | |
on Sunday but has already scored his first goal - | :36:47. | :36:51. | |
this brilliant long range effort on his debut | :36:52. | :36:53. | |
during their preseason tour Back here on Centre Court, a | :36:54. | :37:07. | |
champion is in our midst! The one and only Marion Bartoli. I will give | :37:08. | :37:14. | |
you a proper hug this time! We love hugs! Is lovely to see you again, | :37:15. | :37:19. | |
dressed for tennis! Yes, I'm ready to play! The invitation doubles. | :37:20. | :37:24. | |
Great for the spectators to watch. I don't know, I will try my best! At | :37:25. | :37:30. | |
Centre Court, the city of your triumph in 2013, you were one of the | :37:31. | :37:34. | |
few before yesterday he said that you doubted Johanna Konta's ability | :37:35. | :37:39. | |
to go all the way this time, why? I think the matchplay with Venus | :37:40. | :37:44. | |
Williams was not good for her, especially as she plays with a slow | :37:45. | :37:51. | |
ball, Johanna can play with that but when someone is playing fast with | :37:52. | :37:56. | |
her, she has difficulty. The matchup with Venus, who has triumphed here | :37:57. | :38:00. | |
are five times before, it is a stepping stone forward. Playing in | :38:01. | :38:10. | |
her home country, with Andy Murray, carrying the flag for Britain, it | :38:11. | :38:14. | |
was a bit too much. Plus that amount of pressure. I definitely think | :38:15. | :38:17. | |
she's got the ability to win in future but I think she needs to | :38:18. | :38:22. | |
adjust a few things in her game. An experience you know all about, is it | :38:23. | :38:27. | |
sometimes harder to get to the final after the semifinals, rather than | :38:28. | :38:32. | |
playing the final like you did in 2013? | :38:33. | :38:38. | |
I won two in 2007 and 2013 but every round, you get further in a grand | :38:39. | :38:41. | |
slam and you feel the pressure. It is difficult to win a semifinal but | :38:42. | :38:48. | |
the final is even tougher! You have two be ready for each round, and I | :38:49. | :38:51. | |
think also, having someone in your camp whose been able to go through | :38:52. | :39:03. | |
that is a massive help. Venus knows that, and obviously, with Garbine | :39:04. | :39:08. | |
Muguruza, she has the experience, but after 2013, that helped me to | :39:09. | :39:12. | |
deal with the final pressure. Those moments are so particular that if | :39:13. | :39:16. | |
you haven't gone through it yourself, it's very difficult as a | :39:17. | :39:18. | |
coach to really know how it feels to be on the court. It was only four | :39:19. | :39:23. | |
years ago... Looking back down there... I know, I can't believe it | :39:24. | :39:28. | |
is only four years ago, looking at my game now! I go, really? How do | :39:29. | :39:34. | |
you feel when you look down there, now, some pictures of how you did | :39:35. | :39:38. | |
it. Yes, we were on that side serving for the match point. I got | :39:39. | :39:43. | |
an ace out wide, I have all of those memories coming back to me. The best | :39:44. | :39:50. | |
thing in the world, having a badge and being a member, I feel like a | :39:51. | :39:57. | |
kid in a candy store every morning! It is brilliant to hear. What about | :39:58. | :40:01. | |
Venus Williams, the five-time champion against Garbine Muguruza, | :40:02. | :40:05. | |
who played the other Williams in the final, can she do it this time | :40:06. | :40:09. | |
against a Williams sister? I think it's going to be very tricky for | :40:10. | :40:16. | |
her. And very good friends with her, she was so sweet yesterday. I | :40:17. | :40:20. | |
brought her lucky notes before the tournament and she kept them in her | :40:21. | :40:24. | |
bag. In the locker room she said to me yesterday, look, they are a lucky | :40:25. | :40:31. | |
charm! I think she knows how to win, obviously, she just has to win this | :40:32. | :40:36. | |
one. It was fine for her, losing against Serena, but she knows that | :40:37. | :40:44. | |
number one in the world when Serena isn't there, I think she will be | :40:45. | :40:49. | |
tough to beat. And talking of specialists on grass, Roger Federer | :40:50. | :40:52. | |
in the semifinals today, if he goes on to win, and Serena Williams, it | :40:53. | :40:56. | |
will be like 2007 when they were both champions ten years ago! I | :40:57. | :41:01. | |
don't see how Roger can lose the championship, with how he has been | :41:02. | :41:05. | |
playing and could beat Milos Raonic, who beat him last year. He did not | :41:06. | :41:11. | |
give him a single charts. I cannot see anyone challenging Roger if he | :41:12. | :41:14. | |
plays at the same level. He is against Tomas Berdych, and then the | :41:15. | :41:22. | |
Sam Querrey in the other end. Yes, they have one of the longest | :41:23. | :41:29. | |
matches, against Nicholas Mahut, this is going to be very close. | :41:30. | :41:36. | |
Winning the US open, he has an edge mentally, but even if it is Marin | :41:37. | :41:39. | |
Cilic against Roger Federer, I do not see how Roger can lose this one! | :41:40. | :41:45. | |
We sent him a lucky note as well? No, I don't think you need is one! | :41:46. | :41:50. | |
You won Wimbledon in 2013, and how have you got on since with our Game | :41:51. | :41:56. | |
Set Mug challenge? We are going to see! You might have got 15! | :41:57. | :42:03. | |
Afterwards, I thought yes, I've done better! Holly Hamilton is here doing | :42:04. | :42:07. | |
the officiating. Let's have a look... | :42:08. | :42:13. | |
Marion Bartoli, welcome to BBC Breakfast and our challenge today, | :42:14. | :42:17. | |
how do you feel? Very nervous, actually! Nothing to worry about! | :42:18. | :42:23. | |
You are a former Wimbledon champion back in 2013, eight WTA singles | :42:24. | :42:27. | |
titles, nothing for you to worry about! There is! The racket is a | :42:28. | :42:32. | |
little long... I don't know about my technique! It in your excuses and! I | :42:33. | :42:36. | |
will try and beat Johanna Konta, that's my goal! 30 seconds to get as | :42:37. | :42:44. | |
many balls into our Game Set Mug as possible. Are you ready? Ready. | :42:45. | :42:53. | |
Marion, three, two, one... Go! Her technique is working... Keep your | :42:54. | :42:57. | |
speed up! A much faster technique. They are coming back... Just missing | :42:58. | :43:02. | |
with that one. Ten seconds... We are back into a stride again. It is warm | :43:03. | :43:10. | |
out here today. Just to the left slightly... You keep hitting the | :43:11. | :43:18. | |
rim, ever so close. Everything you've got... Three, two, one... | :43:19. | :43:22. | |
Bob's! We couldn't have allowed it anyway! She is feeling confident! I | :43:23. | :43:30. | |
have five! I have more than Johanna Konta! It's a good result! I feel so | :43:31. | :43:36. | |
happy about it. And how does it compare to Wimbledon? That is much | :43:37. | :43:41. | |
tougher! We've been hearing that a lot! Congratulations, very | :43:42. | :43:43. | |
successful... It was tough to get the ball Law in! That's what was | :43:44. | :43:51. | |
missing... A good result, well done! Game Set Mug. | :43:52. | :43:58. | |
Tougher than Wimbledon? Winning Wimbledon? Really? Amazing! There, | :43:59. | :44:07. | |
you do not know if you go like that all like this, I was moving to pick | :44:08. | :44:13. | |
up the ball from the basket, but afterwards, Kim and I, we were | :44:14. | :44:18. | |
practising! Did you get a lot in? Yeah, is the pressure! We said we | :44:19. | :44:23. | |
had to come back! It is those 30 seconds when it matters. On the | :44:24. | :44:29. | |
leaderboard... Starting at seven... We have Johanna Konta. Mo Farah got | :44:30. | :44:37. | |
four. Look, you are in fifth place with five! In Clearwater, just | :44:38. | :44:40. | |
behind Kyle Edmund and Charlie Stayt! Andy Murray had 14 which is | :44:41. | :44:46. | |
ridiculous! Can post as did well. Andy Murray on 14. I had to beat | :44:47. | :44:55. | |
Milos Raonic, actually! Tomorrow, boxer David Haye is taking on the | :44:56. | :45:01. | |
challenge. We will see how he got on then. Time to bring in Carol. Look | :45:02. | :45:07. | |
at your fingernails! And they amazing? They are, actually. Yes, I | :45:08. | :45:13. | |
have a bit of colour and they said that it was not wise. They have to | :45:14. | :45:20. | |
be all white, I have a little bit of a problem. I've never seen that, | :45:21. | :45:23. | |
fingers in different colours... Or is that just me? Maybe you haven't | :45:24. | :45:29. | |
met the right people, but they are gorgeous. Unlike the weather, it is | :45:30. | :45:32. | |
a little chilly this morning with all of this cloud around... It's a | :45:33. | :45:37. | |
forecast for Wimbledon today... It's actually a dry one. When play gets | :45:38. | :45:41. | |
underway, cloudy to start with, cloud will break and then we have | :45:42. | :45:49. | |
sunshine coming through, highs of 20-21d with a gentle breeze. Not bad | :45:50. | :45:52. | |
if you are coming down as a spectator but I would imagine the | :45:53. | :45:55. | |
players wouldn't find it too shabby either. Chilly under the cloud | :45:56. | :45:58. | |
cover, a couple of showers around. The cloud will break early morning | :45:59. | :46:02. | |
and in the afternoon, the sun will come out. Temperatures rising, could | :46:03. | :46:06. | |
see a couple of showers but by no means will we see them all. -- all | :46:07. | :46:12. | |
see them. Similar conditions here at Wimbledon, bright with sunshine, | :46:13. | :46:16. | |
quite a lot of cloud and the chance of a shower. It holds true as we | :46:17. | :46:20. | |
move through the Midlands and East Anglia, and into Scotland and | :46:21. | :46:24. | |
Northern Ireland. A similar scenario, sunny spells with cloud | :46:25. | :46:28. | |
and the odd shower. In Wales this morning, you could see a shower but | :46:29. | :46:32. | |
most will stay dry, varied amounts of cloud, and as we sink into the | :46:33. | :46:37. | |
south-west of England, although it is cloudy at the moment it will | :46:38. | :46:40. | |
brighten beautifully if you like it sunny. As we move from | :46:41. | :46:43. | |
Gloucestershire, again, across Dorset. Across Hampshire and the | :46:44. | :46:50. | |
Home Counties, we are looking at a similar scenario. Some cloud around | :46:51. | :46:54. | |
this morning, sunshine and risks of showers. They tend to fade, and the | :46:55. | :46:59. | |
cloud will break up, so spells developed through the late morning | :47:00. | :47:02. | |
and afternoon, for most it will be dry, aside from the odd shower. By | :47:03. | :47:07. | |
the afternoon, this weather front from western Scotland and Northern | :47:08. | :47:10. | |
Ireland will introduce rain. If we pick up that weather front, through | :47:11. | :47:15. | |
the evening and overnight, it will sink southwards and eastwards, | :47:16. | :47:20. | |
taking cloud and rain with it. It would be as cold a night in Scotland | :47:21. | :47:23. | |
and northern England and Northern Ireland as the one just gone. For | :47:24. | :47:27. | |
the rest of England and Wales, clear skies, it will be cooler than the | :47:28. | :47:31. | |
night just gone. Good news for some of us, it will be much easier to | :47:32. | :47:35. | |
sleep in those kinds of temperatures. Tomorrow, we start off | :47:36. | :47:38. | |
with a weather front, the first heading into eastern England, taking | :47:39. | :47:43. | |
cloud and patches are bring with it. Behind, it brightens beautifully | :47:44. | :47:47. | |
with sunny spells developing. Later in the day, another weather front | :47:48. | :47:52. | |
comes in across western Scotland and Northern Ireland, introducing rain. | :47:53. | :47:54. | |
Moving away from that weather front, away from the north and from Wales, | :47:55. | :48:00. | |
it begins cloudy but sunny breaks develop and it increasingly turns | :48:01. | :48:03. | |
more humid, especially in the south-east. On Sunday, this weather | :48:04. | :48:09. | |
friend coming in across north-west Scotland six southwards, several | :48:10. | :48:12. | |
northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland on Sunday, we are | :48:13. | :48:16. | |
looking at sunshine, a couple of showers possible, and further south, | :48:17. | :48:21. | |
it's beginning on a sunny note but then it will feel humid on Sunday. | :48:22. | :48:27. | |
Highs of about 27 in the south-east. Something to bear in mind if you are | :48:28. | :48:31. | |
watching the men's finals here at Wimbledon. Pollen levels today, I | :48:32. | :48:37. | |
know that you won't like this, Naga, high across-the-board, and in North | :48:38. | :48:44. | |
Scotland, where they are moderate. Sorry about that, Naga! Charlie, you | :48:45. | :48:45. | |
aren't too bothered? No, I don't suffer, so I am lucky. | :48:46. | :48:57. | |
Carroll, lovely to see you there. Thank you for this morning. Centre | :48:58. | :49:01. | |
Court, we get the access to the best thing is, don't we? | :49:02. | :49:06. | |
We are so lucky. Centre court and now to be centre of one of the most | :49:07. | :49:13. | |
amazing performance halls ever. We are at the Royal Albert Hall today. | :49:14. | :49:18. | |
It's a festival like no other and tonight the Proms return | :49:19. | :49:21. | |
for their 123rd season, bringing us eight weeks of classical | :49:22. | :49:23. | |
music from some of the world's most renowned musicians. | :49:24. | :49:25. | |
We can just listen in for a moment whilst some early morning rehearsals | :49:26. | :49:30. | |
are underway. Nicola Benedetti, one of the most | :49:31. | :49:58. | |
successful violinist and a former youth violinist -- youth musician of | :49:59. | :50:05. | |
the year. What's it like a performing at the Proms? Like | :50:06. | :50:11. | |
nothing else. I remember the first time I performed lark ascending and | :50:12. | :50:18. | |
having all those people standing around you. All musicians say, there | :50:19. | :50:25. | |
is nothing like this. 123 years now, it's been going. Do you think the | :50:26. | :50:28. | |
change has been extraordinary in the last few years in particular in | :50:29. | :50:31. | |
terms of reaching out to new audiences? I think all classical | :50:32. | :50:37. | |
musicians and promoters and organisers want as many people to | :50:38. | :50:40. | |
enjoy this music as possible but I think they would have wanted that. | :50:41. | :50:44. | |
It was part of the origins and premise of the Proms and of course | :50:45. | :50:49. | |
that something that needs to be re-addressed and redefined and a | :50:50. | :50:52. | |
continuous kind of challenge of how to reach out to people. I think the | :50:53. | :50:57. | |
Proms has always done an amazing job at that. Tell us what you will be | :50:58. | :51:02. | |
performing this year. I will be performing the Shostakovich first | :51:03. | :51:07. | |
violin Concerto which is a harrowing but unbelievable piece. Thanks ever | :51:08. | :51:10. | |
so much. We will have a listen to some other violinists -- musicians | :51:11. | :51:19. | |
who will be performing this year. This lady will be performing on her | :51:20. | :51:24. | |
cello and was inspired by her grandmother who made her a string | :51:25. | :51:27. | |
quartet out of cereal boxes when she was two years old. | :51:28. | :51:44. | |
We heard you performing earlier with your orchestra. Tell us about them | :51:45. | :51:53. | |
and the idea behind them. It has been founded to try to go some way | :51:54. | :51:59. | |
to help to redress the balance of artists that we see and hear playing | :52:00. | :52:05. | |
classical music and I think one of the ways that the Proms and the BBC | :52:06. | :52:10. | |
had reached out to bring in the wider audience, because I know | :52:11. | :52:15. | |
that's what's on the agenda, I think by inviting us to have our Proms | :52:16. | :52:20. | |
debut, I think the BBC is really showing that its leading the way in | :52:21. | :52:27. | |
the sort of diversity issues. Taking part in this event, there are eight | :52:28. | :52:31. | |
weeks, aren't there? Not just events here in the Albert Hall either. They | :52:32. | :52:34. | |
are elsewhere as well. How important is it that the Proms do that and | :52:35. | :52:39. | |
reach out to more people? It's very important, because venues have a big | :52:40. | :52:43. | |
impact on people coming into them. So the further you can go to | :52:44. | :52:50. | |
different areas, different size halls, venues, of course there will | :52:51. | :52:55. | |
be a different demographic. This place has such an iconic impact that | :52:56. | :53:00. | |
we've watched it for so many years. I've been playing him for 35 years | :53:01. | :53:04. | |
but this is the best time to play here with my orchestra. And amongst | :53:05. | :53:11. | |
the other highlights this year, performances in Hull, the city of | :53:12. | :53:14. | |
culture, and on top of a multistorey car park in Peckham. I know that's | :53:15. | :53:20. | |
an important place to play. I've seen performances there myself. | :53:21. | :53:25. | |
Where do you see the Proms playing? I've played with the multistorey | :53:26. | :53:29. | |
orchestra and I love it. I think music for all is top of the agenda. | :53:30. | :53:36. | |
Of course, what is being presented as an immediate impact on who is | :53:37. | :53:43. | |
reached by the P audience and not just that, the music that we play. | :53:44. | :53:48. | |
He won the composers? Fantastic. Thanks so much for coming along this | :53:49. | :53:53. | |
morning. Let's listen to a bit of a performance from Jess Gillen. She is | :53:54. | :53:55. | |
19. Performing a piece by John Williams, | :53:56. | :54:14. | |
one of the many companies is who is being celebrated at this year 's | :54:15. | :54:21. | |
Proms. It really is a very eclectic mix of performances, an eclectic mix | :54:22. | :54:26. | |
of composers being celebrated. It has been an extraordinary history | :54:27. | :54:33. | |
over 123 years. It started out as an attempt to bring classical music to | :54:34. | :54:38. | |
everyone. Back in 19 -- in 1895, it cost one shilling to attend the | :54:39. | :54:46. | |
concerts. Before 19 41, they weren't held here at the Royal Albert Hall. | :54:47. | :54:49. | |
They were moved here during the Second World War and they have been | :54:50. | :54:53. | |
here ever since. I will leave you with a little bit more of Jess. | :54:54. | :55:26. | |
It's a wonderful scene there at the Royal Albert Hall and a big thank | :55:27. | :55:32. | |
you to all those artists because I would imagine playing at this time | :55:33. | :55:36. | |
of day... They are in early. I did give you a | :55:37. | :55:38. | |
real sense of atmosphere there. Last night, acting royalty mingled | :55:39. | :55:44. | |
with, well, royalty at the premiere of the new World War Two blockbuster | :55:45. | :55:46. | |
Dunkirk. Singer Harry Styles - | :55:47. | :55:48. | |
who is making his acting debut in the film - | :55:49. | :55:52. | |
shaking hands with Prince Harry The film focuses on the Dunkirk | :55:53. | :55:54. | |
evacuation, when civilian sailors crossed the English Channel | :55:55. | :56:01. | |
to rescue troops trapped I spoke to director Christopher | :56:02. | :56:02. | |
Nolan, and actor Sir Mark Rylance, who told me the famous | :56:03. | :56:07. | |
Dunkirk Spirit still exists today. Why waste precious tanks | :56:08. | :56:16. | |
when they can pick us off What was the moment | :56:17. | :56:25. | |
for you as a director, I supposed, more importanlty, | :56:26. | :56:39. | |
or a human being, the moment when you thought, there | :56:40. | :56:41. | |
is a story about Dunkirk, well-known as it is historically, | :56:42. | :56:44. | |
a story that I can tell? For me it was myself and Emma, | :56:45. | :56:50. | |
my producer, we made a trip about 20 He wanted to make a crossing | :56:51. | :56:54. | |
at about the same time of year We made the crossing | :56:55. | :57:02. | |
to Dunkirk, and the Channel It was incredibly rough, | :57:03. | :57:05. | |
felt very difficult, very dangerous, and that was without people dropping | :57:06. | :57:10. | |
bombs on us. We weren't heading to a war zone, | :57:11. | :57:14. | |
we were just going to So I came away from that feeling | :57:15. | :57:17. | |
like, what would it have been like to step off the dock, | :57:18. | :57:24. | |
and step into the boat, knowing that you were heading | :57:25. | :57:27. | |
towards a burning war zone? On a day, ordinary people, | :57:28. | :57:32. | |
if you can use that word, like the character you play, they just | :57:33. | :57:50. | |
did what was necessary. They just made that decision | :57:51. | :57:53. | |
that they had to do something at that moment in time, | :57:54. | :57:55. | |
and it is very emotional, that is, How did you try and tune | :57:56. | :57:58. | |
into that thought process? I think it's even more emotional | :57:59. | :58:01. | |
because these recent the two disasters in London, | :58:02. | :58:05. | |
have made us all so much more aware of civilian involvement, | :58:06. | :58:12. | |
and the selflessness and bravery Just the instinct to help other | :58:13. | :58:14. | |
people, which is a very natural part It's very interesting, | :58:15. | :58:26. | |
that you make that analogy, if you I thought at the time we made | :58:27. | :58:29. | |
the movie, that this would be something to do with Brexit, | :58:30. | :58:37. | |
and us leaving Europe, and all that. Really, it's more to do | :58:38. | :58:41. | |
with civilian bravery in violent and perilous situations, | :58:42. | :58:44. | |
and that there is an instinct for togetherness | :58:45. | :58:49. | |
People have remarked on the fact that there | :58:50. | :59:12. | |
are, effectively, no Germans in this film. | :59:13. | :59:14. | |
That there is no Churchill in this film. | :59:15. | :59:17. | |
What was the thinking around what you were try to | :59:18. | :59:19. | |
I wanted to create a story, an experience for the audience | :59:20. | :59:23. | |
that stays true to the human perspective of the people involved. | :59:24. | :59:26. | |
What I wanted to do was build the story using three different | :59:27. | :59:28. | |
timelines, you know, land, sea and air. | :59:29. | :59:33. | |
You are in a Spitfire with Tom Hardy, the pilot. | :59:34. | :59:36. | |
with the guys there, you are on a boat with Mark Rylance, | :59:37. | :59:51. | |
We cross-cut between these three timelines to try to build up | :59:52. | :59:57. | |
a coherent picture of the bigger events of Dunkirk but | :59:58. | :59:59. | |
without jumping out of the intense human experience. | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
You could practically see it from here. | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
One of the things I was struck by watching it, is | :00:18. | :00:25. | |
I don't mean you, but what would one have done? | :00:26. | :00:42. | |
It does beg those questions, doesn't it? | :00:43. | :00:43. | |
Yeah, I have a cousin who was among the first rescue services | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
And he recounted, you know, decisions firefighters had to make | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
in that terrible staircase on whether to carry on or rescue | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
people who were there in the stairwell. | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
And the film, for each of the three stories in the film, | :01:01. | :01:08. | |
the characters get to a moment - Tom Hardy and my character | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
and those on the beach, Ken Branagh's character, | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
decision, which will affect some people and other people. | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
And someone or a few people will be sacrificed in order | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
Decisions you don't have a lot of time to make. | :01:21. | :01:28. | |
I felt very strongly, viscerally and emotionally, | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
what it would be like to have to make those kinds of | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
You have made some huge films in the past, but making a film | :01:35. | :01:52. | |
about a real-life event, particularly this event, | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
brings with it I imagine extra responsibilities in terms | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
of what you are depicting and whether it's true | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
Well, you do a lot of research, you do a lot of reading. | :02:02. | :02:10. | |
You try and get it under your fingers. | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
And then what I did is I chose fictional characters to guide us | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
through those events and that freed me up as a filmmaker. | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
I wasn't putting words into people's mouths who existed. | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
I wasn't speaking for people who couldn't speak for themselves. | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
I wanted to use fictional characters to give you the | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
But the sense of responsibility, you put it to one | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
You shoot a film, and it comes back powerfully to finish. | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
Last week I did a screening for veterans, you know, | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
people who'd actually been there on the beach and standing | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
in front of that audience about to show the film was one | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
of the most daunting professional experiences I have had. | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
I felt very relieved when it was over, | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
that, you know, they felt that we had done justice to their | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
Really interesting, hearing how the end of that interview he said they | :02:53. | :03:07. | |
show the film to veterans who have seen it hand is Maka kill hand | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
show the film to veterans who have seen it hand is Maka kill | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
You can see my interview with two of the younger stars of the film, | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
Fionn Whitehead and singer Harry Styles, on tomorrow | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
It's worth saying, we will cross over to Paris. Along the lines we | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
were talking about World War II, you can see these extraordinary pictures | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
from Paris this morning. Indeed, these are commemorations of Bastille | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
Day in Paris today. Donald Trump is visiting, he has been invited by | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
President Emmanuel Macron to visit Paris today. There are crowds lining | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
the streets, and army parades throughout, marking the centenary of | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
the American involvement in the First World War. Many anniversaries | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
being marked, as well as a lot of thought about it being one year on | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
from the attack in Nice. Emmanuel Macron on the Champs-Elysees there, | :04:07. | :04:14. | |
we will expect another meeting between Donald Trump and President | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
Macron later on, they will be taking part in this traditional military | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
parade. Coverage continuing on the BBC News Channel, very dramatic | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
Bye bye. A brief last | :04:32. | :06:15. | |
It is a new word time! We like this, I think! | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
Do people think you're snakey because you've been | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
Or have you been pied off because someone thinks | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
I thought a pie off was something else entirely! But we will make | :06:26. | :06:33. | |
sense of all of this... These are the kinds of words | :06:34. | :06:34. | |
you might have heard if you've been watching the ITV reality dating | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
show, Love Island. Here are some of those taking part | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
in the programme explaining what they are talking about... | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
Like, if you're chatting to a girl and she's not that into you, | :06:47. | :06:53. | |
You've got to keep grafting and grafting and grafting | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
When you've got the icky feeling with a boy or a girl | :07:00. | :07:09. | |
You need to be less melty in the future. | :07:10. | :07:20. | |
So, the word melt means like when someone is going to do | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
something in a situation and they literally just crumble. | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
Because sometimes you can use it in terms of like, | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
if someone in a group is being annoying and is trying too | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
hard, trying to be the funny guy, you're also a melt. | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
We did not get you to dress appropriately! Well, no... I was | :07:36. | :07:50. | |
going to! He's not allowed! Mike Kidd said not to! Rob Drummond, a | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
language expert, is with us. What about this language? It's good, they | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
aren't always knew, it is just new to this generation, people watching | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
it now. The words themselves, quite a lot of them have been around a | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
while. The programme gets so much attention and so much on social | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
media, people share these words so they become in common usage. But how | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
long until they transfer from a programme on ITV to common parlance, | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
so to speak? For young people, they will be using them anyway. What we | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
see, we get a glimpse into how people communicate. I am not the | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
target audience, let's be honest, I'm a little older, but we do not | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
get to see. We hear young people speaking that this is a real insight | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
into some of the language. But they are not new, light craft? If you do | :08:45. | :08:56. | |
that, you work extra. -- like graft. And the word extra, we used to say | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
that. "You are so extra". You are down with the kids! And what does | :09:02. | :09:10. | |
extra mean? It means that you are a bit over the top. If you were going | :09:11. | :09:17. | |
on about something, it's paying too much attention to it. It is, you are | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
being so extra. It can be extra any thing. A little bit over the top... | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
These words come round again and again. What may have happened in the | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
past generations come back quickly, words are spread more quickly. They | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
come round again and again. It is a slight change in meaning, this | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
functional shift in changing from a verb to a noun or an adjective. It's | :09:42. | :09:49. | |
quite easy to be snooty but you look at change, change in language | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
happens for all kinds of reasons. It is easy to be snooty about Love | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
Island, I watched it last night to make sure I knew what was going | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
out... Who is going out with who? It was a little bit complicated! I | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
didn't quite understand everything going on. But with language, it is | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
fascinating. It is easy to be snooty, it's a huge thing. People | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
have been talking about it, this is language change happening. If it is | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
happening, it is of interest to linguists. To get a bit personal, | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
are you ever melt with your partner? No, sometimes, I can be a bit of a | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
melt! Do you know what we are talking about? I feel like I am | :10:32. | :10:33. | |
completely outside of the conversation! If you are melt, you | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
would not be pied off. I might be a little bit muddy, but right now? My | :10:41. | :10:47. | |
kids are cringing, that we are using these words! -- muggy. As long as | :10:48. | :10:56. | |
