:08:09. > :08:18.Wimbledon wind day, Walsall the next. -- one day. For a Duke and

:08:19. > :08:23.Duchess, the pleasure of a Wimbledon final will be replaced by flying the

:08:24. > :08:27.flag in Poland. It is a visit which has already attracted attention

:08:28. > :08:34.here. This is a country which recently embraced the EU, welcoming

:08:35. > :08:38.the royal representatives of one on the way out of a royal in the

:08:39. > :08:46.tution. The monarchy will experience Poland's turbulent past, and a visit

:08:47. > :08:50.to a museum representing an unsuccessful uprising. This visit to

:08:51. > :08:57.Poland and then Germany will inevitably be seen in the context of

:08:58. > :09:01.Brexit. It will not impact the negotiations, but the government

:09:02. > :09:09.hopes their presence will show the strength of the ties once Britain

:09:10. > :09:13.has left the EU. They brought that presence to France in March and

:09:14. > :09:23.other cities in their roles as royal ambassadors for the UK. They are

:10:14. > :10:18.We will have a look at them in a minute. I will get them out. Thank

:10:19. > :10:21.you. John Tweeted to say that as a father

:10:22. > :10:24.and grandfather to girls he was pleased they would have great

:10:25. > :10:27.heroes to aspire to, Quite a few people are complaining

:10:28. > :10:34.about it as well. Michael Tweeted to say he thought

:10:35. > :10:37.the show had been ruined "for the sake of

:10:38. > :10:38.political correctness." Colin Baker, the sixth Doctor,

:10:39. > :10:41.Tweeted: "Change, my dears, She is the Doctor whether

:10:42. > :10:50.you like it or not!" I wish I could have done that in a

:10:51. > :10:54.Dr Who voice. Maybe I have one now, that is the key. I am a woman.

:10:55. > :11:00.Sorry, I was not listening. I was listening to the creator of Doctor

:11:01. > :11:08.Who, who said at a later stage, she should be metamorphosed into a

:11:09. > :11:19.woman, and she said that in 1986. We will speak later on about Dr Who and

:11:20. > :11:24.who Dr Who is. It is a lovely start to the day. It was a bit dark when

:11:25. > :11:33.we got here. Yet. Glorious. I think it is going to stay like that. Is

:11:34. > :11:43.it? Who knows? It was so dark when we got here, do you want to

:11:44. > :11:51.reveal... Yeah, my dress is on back to front. I said that with ten

:11:52. > :11:59.seconds to go. You could totally have gotten away with it. It gave me

:12:00. > :12:07.a fright. I just hope I am wearing trousers. Everyone knows now. What

:12:08. > :12:18.about Wimbledon? It is over. But what a fortnight! It is lovely to be

:12:19. > :12:22.back. Who would have known we would be talking about that man? I

:12:23. > :12:31.remember saying at the start look at how he is moving. It made the hairs

:12:32. > :12:34.on the back of your head stand up. We have the theory of people playing

:12:35. > :12:40.in the first round injured. Then people expecting Novak Djokovic,

:12:41. > :12:45.Stan Wawrinka. And then with the finals with the ladies on Saturday

:12:46. > :12:52.and then the men yesterday, it gave it a lift it needed. And Marin Cilic

:12:53. > :12:56.yesterday, he was struggling with injury. Everyone had an injury.

:12:57. > :13:03.Roger Federer had knee surgery and two months off. He got better,

:13:04. > :13:07.certainly more fit. And look what happened. He made history. The most

:13:08. > :13:09.successful male player in the history of the sport!

:13:10. > :13:11.This man, Roger Federer, the history-maker at

:13:12. > :13:14.His eighth singles title, the most successful male player

:13:15. > :13:20.But it wasn't all about him on the last day at Wimbledon.

:13:21. > :13:33.Jamie Murray and his doubles partner, the former singles

:13:34. > :13:35.champion, Martina Hingis, beat the defending champions,

:13:38. > :13:41.Jordanne Whiley and her partner Yui Kamiji won their fourth

:13:42. > :13:48.successive wheelchair doubles title too!

:13:49. > :13:50.England's cricketers have an almost impossible job ahead of them,

:13:51. > :13:54.after they were set 474 to win the second test against South

:13:55. > :13:57.No team has ever scored that many to win a Test match

:13:58. > :14:02.They'll resume this morning on one without loss.

:14:03. > :14:14.My goodness, it was a busy weekend. It was! Plenty to watch! I love

:14:15. > :14:26.Wimbledon fortnight, I will really miss it. I think you should come

:14:27. > :14:36.next year. I would love to. We have a big mug. Are you allowed to

:14:37. > :14:40.mention that? It is not one of us, it is an actual big mug for

:14:41. > :14:44.Wimbledon. We should have left a camera running inside for the whole

:14:45. > :14:51.fortnight to see where it has really been. If only it could talk.

:14:52. > :14:54.Here's Matt with a look at this morning's weather,

:14:55. > :15:00.You are there for a special reason? Hull for us today.

:15:01. > :15:05.You are there for a special reason? Good morning. I certainly am, a

:15:06. > :15:10.stunning morning here but what you can see is the Humber bridge. It

:15:11. > :15:17.took 100 years of campaigning, but on this very day in 1981, the Queen

:15:18. > :15:21.officially opened this stunning structure, 1410 metres long, the

:15:22. > :15:26.world's longest suspension bridge at the time, still in the top ten to

:15:27. > :15:31.this very day and more importantly today, as part of Hull's City of

:15:32. > :15:35.Culture year it has received grade one listed status and that puts it

:15:36. > :15:40.on par with the likes of Buckingham Palace and also the House of Commons

:15:41. > :15:45.and even today it is an amazing feat of engineering. More on that through

:15:46. > :15:50.the morning. A beautiful start as you can see on the banks of the

:15:51. > :15:54.Humber but if we look at the forecast for today across the UK,

:15:55. > :15:56.it's a day in which it's not just dry, sunny, but it's also very warm

:15:57. > :16:02.as well. Pretty good start to the week for

:16:03. > :16:06.many if you're heading out this morning but one word of caution, a

:16:07. > :16:09.bit on the cool side if you're heading out in the short-term.

:16:10. > :16:14.Temperatures have dropped markedly overnight from the humid day some

:16:15. > :16:18.saw yesterday. A bit of patchy cloud in the English Channel and there's

:16:19. > :16:22.some cloud in western Scotland and the north of Scotland producing some

:16:23. > :16:26.showers and that will linger into parts Orkney and Shetland into the

:16:27. > :16:30.afternoon but the afternoon in the south is a hazy and sunny affair,

:16:31. > :16:36.strong sunshine overhead for many and temperatures will soar under a

:16:37. > :16:43.gentle breeze for the majority. Temperatures in the south could hit

:16:44. > :16:48.27 or 28. In the north we could hit 25 or 26. 25 possible to the east of

:16:49. > :16:52.Northern Ireland and in eastern parts of Scotland, always cooler in

:16:53. > :16:59.all Orkney and Shetland with more cloud and some rain and drizzle. The

:17:00. > :17:02.cloud will come and go in north-eastern Scotland. More cloud

:17:03. > :17:07.drifting to the south-west every now and again, including Wales, but for

:17:08. > :17:10.most it's a clear night and after that one day temperatures will drop

:17:11. > :17:16.a bit so another fresh Tartu tomorrow morning with patchy mist

:17:17. > :17:19.and fog. For many, like today, Tuesday will be another stunning

:17:20. > :17:25.David Ash fresh to. More cloud at times to the west of England and

:17:26. > :17:29.across Wales -- fresh start. Eastern England will be dry, sunny and warm.

:17:30. > :17:32.The same in Scotland and Northern Ireland and tomorrow it will be

:17:33. > :17:37.warmer than today, temperatures could get to the high 20s in some

:17:38. > :17:43.parts of southern England and to the bar north of Scotland we could get

:17:44. > :17:46.to 26 or 27. The Moray Firth and the north-west Highlands in particular.

:17:47. > :17:50.Like in the day big flashes of lightning in the south-west could

:17:51. > :17:54.drift towards Wales, not a huge amount of rain to begin with but

:17:55. > :17:57.into Wednesday more widespread storms into northern England and

:17:58. > :18:01.Northern Ireland and Scotland -- late in the day. Torrential

:18:02. > :18:05.downpours in places, the risk of minor flooding. England and Wales

:18:06. > :18:09.will start with more sunshine around on a very humid start but that could

:18:10. > :18:13.get together and we could see big storms developing. They will be hit

:18:14. > :18:17.and miss, difficult to say where they will be at the moment, but we

:18:18. > :18:22.could have torrential downpours as temperatures are peaking around the

:18:23. > :18:27.mid twenties. Heat and humidity swept away into Thursday. Back to

:18:28. > :18:31.fresher conditions. Still sunshine around in eastern parts but late in

:18:32. > :18:36.the day we will see rain arriving in the west. That's the weather it's a

:18:37. > :18:42.big Humber Bridge behind me. One of a number of historical buildings

:18:43. > :18:47.that get listed status today in Hull. As well as the bridge we have

:18:48. > :18:53.some really quirky Edwardian toilets in the city. Also the home of the

:18:54. > :18:58.famous poet Philip Larkin, he is one of a number of famous people from

:18:59. > :19:05.Hull who have had their homes listed, including a few architects

:19:06. > :19:10.and a person who died in a serious rail crash back in the day, which

:19:11. > :19:15.led to some increased safety features on the rails. Also the

:19:16. > :19:20.tidal storm surge barriers in Hull, which keeps this low-lying city safe

:19:21. > :19:24.from the ravages of the sea and the Humber. More on all of that through

:19:25. > :19:29.the morning on a stunning start to the day. Back to you both in

:19:30. > :19:31.Salford. Thanks very much, Matt, see you later. We will be there through

:19:32. > :19:36.the morning. Let's have a look at the papers, we

:19:37. > :19:44.tried to frighten the front pages earlier. -- to find. There she is,

:19:45. > :19:53.about time, Lord. That's the headline. Always over 50s life

:19:54. > :20:00.cover! Drops on my lap as well! This is the main story. Nurses and cops

:20:01. > :20:06.overpaid while raking in ?10,000 a month renting property, as he lives

:20:07. > :20:13.in luxury for free, about the Philip Hammond. The Doctor there with the

:20:14. > :20:19.headline. Front page of the Times, Roger Federer makes so many of the

:20:20. > :20:25.front and back pages. They are talking about fighter jets, so much

:20:26. > :20:28.money being spent on F-35 stealth aircraft but they say they might not

:20:29. > :20:32.be able to be used because things like software upgrades, spare parts

:20:33. > :20:37.and cost reduction images use have been buried in US defence contracts

:20:38. > :20:40.and they are not included in the published figures according to

:20:41. > :20:47.investigation by the Times. The Daily Mail. Doctor Who changes sex,

:20:48. > :20:52.while male TV heroes beings at? And Federer and Cilic on the front

:20:53. > :21:01.cover, Cilic in tears and Federer crying -- being zapped. Completely

:21:02. > :21:05.different on the front page of the Guardian, they are talking about

:21:06. > :21:10.Brexit being a threat to safe and stable food supplies. An interesting

:21:11. > :21:15.story about Grenfell saying stripping Grenfell style cladding

:21:16. > :21:19.could put more blocks at risk. They have talked to experts and they say

:21:20. > :21:25.the installation is more dangerous than the cladding that covers it.

:21:26. > :21:29.What have we got? It isn't often that Winnie the Pooh gets on the

:21:30. > :21:34.front of the Financial Times. I wonder if that has ever happened

:21:35. > :21:38.before. I would say not but Beijing has blocked Winnie the Pooh images

:21:39. > :21:46.China has taken them down from social media. No official reason has

:21:47. > :21:51.been given. Not wearing any pants? That seems all right, but observers

:21:52. > :21:56.have suggested it was related to previous comparisons of President

:21:57. > :22:02.gee pin the portly teddy bear. There's images we can see of

:22:03. > :22:06.President Xi Jingping with President Obama -- comparisons of President Xi

:22:07. > :22:11.Jingping. It goes to show, we have talked before about Twitter and

:22:12. > :22:14.Google trying to break China, that's why it's a bit harder because you

:22:15. > :22:19.can't put anything you want up. What an interesting story! You surely

:22:20. > :22:24.couldn't find anything wrong with Winnie the Pooh! There is a page six

:22:25. > :22:28.article on it in the FT as well, so they have gone big on Winnie the

:22:29. > :22:32.Pooh in the FT. I didn't know that Winnie the Pooh doesn't wear pants,

:22:33. > :22:38.I've never noticed! You're really observant! I have never really

:22:39. > :22:43.noticed! Shall we move on? The back page of the Times, this is Roger

:22:44. > :22:47.Federer, you can't argue, this morning it's all about that man. To

:22:48. > :22:52.put it into context, in his career there is a 4.5 year gap where he

:22:53. > :22:58.didn't win a grand slam title at all. Backpages all saying the same

:22:59. > :23:02.thing. Roger Federer with the trophy yesterday. Back page of the racing

:23:03. > :23:08.Post, Roger Federer 11 to four favourite to make it nine next year.

:23:09. > :23:13.I know we will talk about this later but a blister is what happens to

:23:14. > :23:17.Marin Cilic, a very serious problem caused by something quite innocuous.

:23:18. > :23:22.On the sole of his foot under his left foot. It had been drained quite

:23:23. > :23:29.a few times. The day before they try to scrape it off. Did he wear the

:23:30. > :23:32.wrong socks? Who knows! It's because he had a five set semi-final and he

:23:33. > :23:37.was turning direction too much and you need to wear two pairs of socks

:23:38. > :23:43.but it gives you extra rubbing. Amazing, cost him the final!

:23:44. > :23:47.Probably not very nice images for breakfast, apologies. It sounds

:23:48. > :23:57.weak, doesn't it, it can be like a cold! I'm not kidding, he had a

:23:58. > :24:01.cold, Federer, for the two weeks. Are you one of those people were

:24:02. > :24:03.Federer can do no wrong? I wasn't, but I have become one of those

:24:04. > :24:05.people. It's more than 1,000 years

:24:06. > :24:08.since the lynx became extinct in the UK but campaigners hope

:24:09. > :24:11.a decision later today An application being considered

:24:12. > :24:19.by Natural England could see them released into Kielder Forest

:24:20. > :24:22.in Northumberland, but the return of a major predator

:24:23. > :24:24.is worrying farmers. Breakfast's Graham

:24:25. > :24:32.Satchell reports. The last lynx in Britain was killed

:24:33. > :24:35.for its further 1500 years ago. The application going into Natural

:24:36. > :24:41.England today would see them return. Between six and ten wild lynx

:24:42. > :24:44.released into Kielder Forest in Northumberland. This is a huge

:24:45. > :24:48.conservation milestone. This is the first licence ever submitted to

:24:49. > :24:54.reintroduce lynx on a trial basis into the UK. This is a life-sized

:24:55. > :24:59.cutout of a lynx, so that's how big a real lynx is, so they aren't that

:25:00. > :25:02.big... Paul Donahue from the lynx trust has been doing a consultation,

:25:03. > :25:08.talking, listening and explaining and the children at Kielder School

:25:09. > :25:13.have big questions. Are lynx dangerous to people? Lynx live all

:25:14. > :25:17.over the world and in human history a healthy wild lynx has never

:25:18. > :25:22.attacked a human anywhere in the world. There's a genuine excitement

:25:23. > :25:27.here and enthusiasm for the return of a wildcat. They do look really

:25:28. > :25:33.nice and it's good that they don't hurt any people or anything. They

:25:34. > :25:40.might not hurt people but lynx are expert hunters. Their main prey,

:25:41. > :25:44.dear. Deer eat out the understory, they overgrazed and if you see now

:25:45. > :25:47.there's very little under story around so there's not really many

:25:48. > :25:55.places for small mammals and birds to nest and lynx are needed to

:25:56. > :26:01.balance the ecosystem. Not according to sheep farmers, who said deer are

:26:02. > :26:07.not a problem and lynx would be a threat. I think it's absolutely a

:26:08. > :26:12.stupid idea for a predator that's not been in this country for 1000

:26:13. > :26:17.years to be released where it's going to cause damage to viable

:26:18. > :26:22.business. As far as I'm concerned, the links will go for the easy

:26:23. > :26:26.target, which is going to be sheep and lamb -- lynx.

:26:27. > :26:29.Farmers would be compensated for any livestock lost, but they are

:26:30. > :26:34.strongly against the issuing of a licence. There's got to be a legal

:26:35. > :26:38.case taken against them because to release a dangerous animal onto

:26:39. > :26:45.private land, that can't possibly be right. Annual fight them? Yes,

:26:46. > :26:49.definitely. -- and you'll. Opinion here is divided. In the local pub,

:26:50. > :26:54.Mike Brown is thinking about his business. One estimate suggests the

:26:55. > :27:00.lynx could bring around ?30 million a year in extra tourist revenue. We

:27:01. > :27:04.need as many tourists as we can get, it's the most remote forest

:27:05. > :27:09.immigrant, we rely on tourist trade, that's 99% of the trade we take --

:27:10. > :27:13.in England. Will Kielder Forest become the land of the lynx? The

:27:14. > :27:16.decision is now in the hands of Natural England but if they say yes,

:27:17. > :27:22.experts predict there could eventually be as many as 400 lynx in

:27:23. > :27:26.forests around the UK. Graham Satchell, BBC News, Kielder Forest.

:27:27. > :27:29.Whatever you think, they are beautiful animals.

:27:30. > :30:52.Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

:34:40. > :34:42.about it with an actor who plays a companion in the radio version. It

:34:43. > :34:47.has caused a lot of discussion. Some people are upset. Some have said

:34:48. > :34:52.they will not watch it again. It is a fictional character. And then they

:34:53. > :34:58.say they don't even watch it anyway. It makes no sense! Are going to...

:34:59. > :35:06.Can we talk about tennis? Will the talk about the mug in the room? Can

:35:07. > :35:12.I get a shot of it? Will let ruin everything for everybody? It is so

:35:13. > :35:23.obvious... There his. Look at the size of it! It is normal size, it is

:35:24. > :35:44.just perspective. Everyone just had a heart attack. First we will speak

:35:45. > :35:48.about Roger... Rogerina? I'm trying to think of the female version. Rog.

:35:49. > :35:52.I know you were laughing about me thinking he can do no wrong.

:35:53. > :35:54.Basically, he can't! He had a few setbacks. Yes. He did not even need

:35:55. > :35:57.to break a sweat! Yes, Roger Federer is the Wimbledon

:35:58. > :36:01.champion for a record eighth time and he did it without really needing

:36:02. > :36:04.to break sweat against Maric Cilic. Federer won in straight sets

:36:05. > :36:07.in just one hour 41 minutes The Swiss is the first man

:36:08. > :36:12.since Bjorn Borg to win the title without dropping a set

:36:13. > :36:18.throughout the tournament. I was not sure if I was ever going

:36:19. > :36:22.to be here again in another finals after last year. I had some tough

:36:23. > :36:26.ones, losing to Novak Djokovic in 2014 and 2015. But I always thought

:36:27. > :36:29.I could maybe do it again. If you really believe you can go far enough

:36:30. > :36:31.in your life, you can. I kept dreaming and believing, and here I

:36:32. > :36:37.am. It is fantastic. It was emotional, wasn't it? Marin

:36:38. > :36:44.Cilic was crying. He had a good reason. He had developed a blister

:36:45. > :36:48.on the sole of his left foot which was so grim that they had spent

:36:49. > :36:55.Friday, his team spent Friday, working on it. He had a doctor with

:36:56. > :37:01.him for six hours. It sounded horrible. Draining it. Packing it.

:37:02. > :37:05.Trying to work out whether any painkiller could help it. But if you

:37:06. > :37:11.have something wrong with your foot, you go on a big walk and have a

:37:12. > :37:15.blister, you cannot go on. He had tears and sadness and frustration.

:37:16. > :37:18.To get to that point and sit there with everyone watching at that

:37:19. > :37:25.moment in your career. You cannot play your best tennis. And blister

:37:26. > :37:29.sounds weak and feeble. But if you speak to someone who has been

:37:30. > :37:38.through it, they say once it gets deep... Stop! Yes, it is agony. You

:37:39. > :37:43.have to feel for him. But, you know, he will be back. He got all the way

:37:44. > :37:48.there. But that needs to steal. As you said, he was crying, Roger

:37:49. > :37:55.Federer was crying for a different reason. His twins were misbehaving.

:37:56. > :37:57.That was glorious. More on that later. And now for other news.

:37:58. > :38:00.And the last day of Wimbledon wasn't without some British success.

:38:01. > :38:03.Jamie Murray and former singles champion Martina Hingis beat

:38:04. > :38:04.the defending champions, Britain's Heather Watson

:38:05. > :38:07.and Finland's Henri Kontinen in straight sets.

:38:08. > :38:12.Really happy that I contacted Jamie for playing together. Pretty much my

:38:13. > :38:16.dream came true to give ourselves a good chance to win the title, and we

:38:17. > :38:21.did the blue it was a great two weeks for us, we played great

:38:22. > :38:22.tennis. Excited to win. It was a huge achievement for us.

:38:23. > :38:24.And Jamie Murray wasn't the only British winner.

:38:25. > :38:27.Jordanne Whiley and her Japanese partner Yui Kamiji have

:38:28. > :38:32.won their fourth successive women's wheelchairs doubles title.

:38:33. > :38:42.It is great Jamie Murray and her were playing only at the start. See

:38:43. > :38:49.texted him and said do you fancy a game? He did not check his phone and

:38:50. > :38:53.she started to panic. It worked out in the end.

:38:54. > :38:57.Great Britain's Jonnie Peacock has won gold in the Men's 100m T44

:38:58. > :38:59.to become the eighth British gold-medallist of the 2017

:39:00. > :39:03.Peacock's winning time was 10.75 seconds inside the London Stadium,

:39:04. > :39:05.it was actually slower than his heat-winning

:39:06. > :39:09.Britain also picked up a bronze through Maria Lyle in the Women's

:39:10. > :39:16.I knew I was in good form, but at the end of the day, when it comes to

:39:17. > :39:22.the final, I don't care about times. It is a great cherry on top of the

:39:23. > :39:24.icing, but metals are what I can keep forever and what I can look

:39:25. > :39:27.back on. -- medals. And there's been more British

:39:28. > :39:29.success this weekend. Lewis Hamilton won

:39:30. > :39:31.the British Grand Prix The historic victory

:39:32. > :39:35.moves him to within a point of Sebastien Vettel at the half way

:39:36. > :39:38.stage of the Formula One season. That, after the Championship Leader

:39:39. > :39:48.suffered a dramatic late puncture. Crowd-surfing. I love it. It feels

:39:49. > :39:54.amazing to be out here. I am so proud to see all of these flags. The

:39:55. > :39:58.support has been immense. I am proud I could do this for you. Thank you

:39:59. > :40:02.for the support and pushing us. The team was faultless. It was an

:40:03. > :40:12.exceptional job. The perfect weekend for us. They always get the best

:40:13. > :40:14.people to do those interviews. That was Owen Wilson, Hollywood filmstar.

:40:15. > :40:18.England's cricketers need to produce an heroic effort if they're to avoid

:40:19. > :40:20.defeat, when the second test against South Africa

:40:21. > :40:24.The tourists are firmly in control after setting England a target

:40:25. > :40:29.Englands reply got off to a nervous start when Alastair Cook was given

:40:30. > :40:32.That decision was eventually overturned but England face

:40:33. > :40:35.an uphull task to stop South Africa levelling the series.

:40:36. > :40:41.We did not play very well at all, but we have the opportunity to bat

:40:42. > :40:45.well for the next two days and see what we can do. You cannot rule it

:40:46. > :40:53.out as well, with the players we have. And the wickets are still

:40:54. > :40:55.pretty good. We have played spin pretty well in the past.

:40:56. > :40:57.Britain's defending champion Chris Froome overcame mechanical

:40:58. > :41:01.issues to retain his 18-second lead after stage 15 of the Tour de

:41:02. > :41:04.He had to change a wheel, and deal with the hostile,

:41:05. > :41:06.booing, home fans, but he recovered brilliantly, holding

:41:07. > :41:18.And he'll get to put his feet up today as it's a rest day.

:41:19. > :41:25.30 seconds between the top four. Terrifying. There was a moment

:41:26. > :41:31.yesterday when we thought he would lose the lead. I don't know how he

:41:32. > :41:35.hung on to it. We will have to wait a couple of days to start talking

:41:36. > :41:41.about it. You need to explain what this is. The big moment. My

:41:42. > :41:46.favourite prop for summer. You have seen everyone have a go at this.

:41:47. > :41:57.Will you have a go as blue a little one. Would you like a ball? Thank

:41:58. > :42:16.you. Woah, woah, woah. Who is going to go first? Overarm. Over. Come on,

:42:17. > :42:23.Sal. Come on, Sal. Lethal leftie. Your aim wasn't much better. Awful!

:42:24. > :42:34.Seriously. I am going to have to practise. Another go at that later.

:42:35. > :42:40.Maybe we need a slightly bigger... Maybe a football or something. And

:42:41. > :42:48.now we are at Humber Bridge, which has been given listed status. Where

:42:49. > :42:55.are you? Good morning. I am on the banks at the moment. A stunning shot

:42:56. > :43:04.of the Humber Bridge. The first plans for crossing it were back in

:43:05. > :43:09.1870. They wanted a tunnel, but after 100 years of campaigning and

:43:10. > :43:14.eight years of construction as well, the Humber Bridge now takes over 8

:43:15. > :43:20.million journeys each year. And, of course, as you have mentioned, today

:43:21. > :43:25.is a special day. It is not only the 36th anniversary of its opening, but

:43:26. > :43:32.it has received listed status. Blue skies. Not just on the banks of the

:43:33. > :43:38.Humber, but also for the UK. A sunny day in store. A warm one as well.

:43:39. > :43:42.Especially after a cool start. Blue skies for many first thing this

:43:43. > :43:46.morning. Patchy cloud in the English Channel, mainly to the south-west of

:43:47. > :43:50.England. And also in the north and north-west of Scotland. The cloud in

:43:51. > :43:55.the north-west may threaten show us this morning. Shetland, Orkney,

:43:56. > :43:59.showers continuing. A dry day. Quickly warming up as well under

:44:00. > :44:03.strong sunshine. Temperatures quite widely could be seen hitting the low

:44:04. > :44:08.20s. More cloud towards the south-west of the country compared

:44:09. > :44:12.to much of England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland to the temperatures

:44:13. > :44:18.today will be likely in the east of England, 27 degrees is possible.

:44:19. > :44:23.Including near Hull. And in eastern Ireland and Scotland, 35 degrees is

:44:24. > :44:27.possible. Always more cool for the far north and west of Scotland.

:44:28. > :44:32.Getting cloudy in Orkney and Shetland. Mid-afternoon, the showers

:44:33. > :44:38.should clear. The cloud will be here in the finals of Scotland. Also,

:44:39. > :44:44.some in the far south and west of the country. Clear skies. Patchy

:44:45. > :44:49.mist and fog. Again, a clear and fresh night coming after a warm day.

:44:50. > :44:57.Temperatures dropping after the sun sets. A fresh start tomorrow

:44:58. > :45:02.morning. A warm day. Still some good sunny spells. Most of us will the

:45:03. > :45:08.sunshine. A bit of a breeze to the south and east. That means some of

:45:09. > :45:10.the warmest weather in the north and west tomorrow. South-east Wales,

:45:11. > :45:14.south-east parts of the Midlands, temperatures getting to 29 degrees.

:45:15. > :45:18.Even in the north and north-west of Scotland, we could get to 27

:45:19. > :45:21.degrees. Storms pushing into the south-west by the end of the day.

:45:22. > :45:26.Lightning storms initially into Wednesday that the torrential

:45:27. > :45:33.downpours. Northern England and Ireland. Wales sees some sunshine.

:45:34. > :45:38.Through the day, heat and humidity reaching 31 degrees across eastern

:45:39. > :45:43.England, which could be enough to that of some localised severe

:45:44. > :45:47.storms. A bit difficult to see where the weather will be. Kit tuned to

:45:48. > :45:52.the forecast. All of it will be swept out on Thursday. A bright day

:45:53. > :45:56.for many on Thursday by feeling more fresh before rain arrives in

:45:57. > :46:05.Northern Ireland later. That is how the weather is looking. As you can

:46:06. > :46:09.see, the Humber is looking stunning, along with the bridge. It is not

:46:10. > :46:14.just the bridge, but eight other localities have listed status in the

:46:15. > :46:20.city, including some pretty Edwardian toilets. And the storm

:46:21. > :46:29.surge barrier as well in Hull which protects this low-lying area from

:46:30. > :46:33.severe surges and the Humber and the North Sea as well. That is how it is

:46:34. > :46:38.looking here on the banks of the Humber.

:46:39. > :46:42.Good to see an Edwardian toddler awarded as well, about time!

:46:43. > :46:44.People who enter competitions online could be putting themselves

:46:45. > :47:00.You see lots of them, on the back of things in supermarkets or online or

:47:01. > :47:02.on newspapers, some people make a living out of them if you're really

:47:03. > :47:05.good but we aren't all that wise! The prizes offered by the some

:47:06. > :47:07.online competitions can That's backed-up by a survey from

:47:08. > :47:11.the Nationwide Building Society, which says that around two thirds

:47:12. > :47:15.of people who enter them are putting That's because people are sending

:47:16. > :47:19.off things like their name, address and date of birth

:47:20. > :47:22.without checking first if the deal Let's talk to Emily Orton,

:47:23. > :47:43.who's the director of cyber security The research says we are aware of

:47:44. > :47:46.these risks but when it comes to these competitions we are giving

:47:47. > :47:52.away our details, why are we more casual? We are used to giving out

:47:53. > :47:59.personal data in this day and age, especially young people, so lots of

:48:00. > :48:03.the time it is social media things like date of birth, where we live,

:48:04. > :48:08.where we studied, so it's not a big leap to enter a competition where we

:48:09. > :48:14.think the upside could be something like a holiday or vouchers. 18 to 24

:48:15. > :48:21.-year-olds are more likely to dish out this information, is it because

:48:22. > :48:25.there's rarely big consequences for giving out your details? I would say

:48:26. > :48:30.that consumers or individuals are less of a target and a large

:48:31. > :48:33.organisation, we've seen many big cyber attacks against large

:48:34. > :48:38.organisations who have huge datasets and much more to lose in many ways.

:48:39. > :48:43.I think the injury to all doesn't he'll the immediacy of that risk. --

:48:44. > :48:48.individual. Ultimately there's a trade-off, there's an awareness that

:48:49. > :48:51.cyber security a problem, but especially young people are taking

:48:52. > :48:55.that decision to run the risk for the upside. When it comes to

:48:56. > :48:59.checking, nationwide advises if it looks too good to be true then it

:49:00. > :49:03.might be but it's a competition and the point is it's meant to be too

:49:04. > :49:07.good to be true -- Nationwide. Is there anything you can do to be sure

:49:08. > :49:12.that the company you're dealing with is verified? There are basics that

:49:13. > :49:17.go a long way, the first thing is this a reputable organisation? Check

:49:18. > :49:24.the website, is there a padlock, can you see... Just next to the website

:49:25. > :49:27.in the browser? Yes, that will help because it says we have certified

:49:28. > :49:32.the organisation is who they say they are. Things like questioning

:49:33. > :49:36.whether they really need your date of birth, what was the purpose of

:49:37. > :49:41.them collecting it. Sometimes there's an Asterix that you need the

:49:42. > :49:46.info and sometimes you don't need to put it all in? That's right, often

:49:47. > :49:50.you would expect that, there's a big drive to collect marketing data and

:49:51. > :49:54.you don't need to put it in. If there's a website that requires you

:49:55. > :50:00.to enter a lot of data, you need think twice. Emily, thanks very

:50:01. > :50:06.much. There we go. A bit of advice to keep on top of this. If you want

:50:07. > :50:10.to get into this, holidays of a lifetime, check the padlock at the

:50:11. > :50:12.top and don't have to fill in all the boxes, that's about it!

:50:13. > :50:15.It is not often a television show casting announcement holds the front

:50:16. > :50:18.pages, generates thousands of column inches and inspires such strong

:50:19. > :50:32.Jodie Whittaker on the front page of the Telegraph and the Mirror and

:50:33. > :50:37.most of the papers this morning and a question on the Daily Telegraph,

:50:38. > :50:38.nice to meet Who. She is the new Doctor!

:50:39. > :50:42.However, the revelation the 13th Time Lord is to be played by a woman

:50:43. > :50:47.We will be getting the thoughts of a doctor Who actress in a moment,

:50:48. > :50:50.but first a reminder of how Jodie Whittaker was unveiled

:50:51. > :51:06.and the reaction of some Breakfast viewers.

:51:07. > :51:11.That looks like a woman's feet, small feet. I wouldn't be surprised

:51:12. > :51:26.if it was a woman. It is a woman! Oh my god, they've got a girl! It's

:51:27. > :51:38.a woman! Oh my god! It's a woman! The

:51:39. > :51:44.Doctor... I might cry. It's a woman, I cannot believe it, they did it.

:51:45. > :51:48.I'm shocked still! What a good choice. For me as a girl, this is

:51:49. > :51:53.something I never thought possible ever. There are always doubts when

:51:54. > :51:57.there's a new Doctor and if it's a brilliant actor, because it's a

:51:58. > :52:01.brilliant part, if it's a brilliant actor and Jodie Whittaker is a

:52:02. > :52:03.brilliant actor then it's all going to be fine but what's interesting is

:52:04. > :52:11.it's going to be very different. Let's speak now to the actor

:52:12. > :52:17.Lisa Bowerman, who plays Professor Bernice Summerfield

:52:18. > :52:25.in the Doctor Who audio plays. Good morning, good morning! I'm

:52:26. > :52:30.guessing your reaction by the smile on your face is your pretty happy

:52:31. > :52:34.about this? It's an extremely good decision. It's been so fascinating

:52:35. > :52:41.this morning, the papers are covered with it. I was in the car on the way

:52:42. > :52:44.this morning and it was all over the radio, the reaction has been

:52:45. > :52:48.extraordinary and it's an extremely good thing. The bottom line is, I

:52:49. > :52:53.heard a bit in the clips you just played, it's a brilliant piece of

:52:54. > :52:58.casting, Jodie Whittaker is a fantastic actress and I think that

:52:59. > :53:02.can only bode well. On having a problem with my microphone, sorry, I

:53:03. > :53:14.hope you can still hear me. It's my problem, not yours! She said

:53:15. > :53:19.herself," I want to tell fans not to be scared by my agenda", but there's

:53:20. > :53:24.been a big reaction to this, hasn't their? It's interesting, because of

:53:25. > :53:28.all the roles that have been played by women recently, I saw Glenda

:53:29. > :53:34.Jackson playing King Lear last year, Maxine Peak played Hamlet recently,

:53:35. > :53:39.of all the parts the Doctor is one that can easily be played by a

:53:40. > :53:43.woman. After all it is a fantasy show, an alien with two hearts who

:53:44. > :53:52.floats around space in a 1960s telephone box. To actually think

:53:53. > :53:56.that somebody... Actually, let's face it, the Doctor is an alien who

:53:57. > :54:02.met or is every few years, there's no reason why the Doctor, which is a

:54:03. > :54:06.generic title, let's be honest, it could be a woman or a man, couldn't

:54:07. > :54:12.transport themselves, couldn't transpose themselves into a woman. I

:54:13. > :54:17.think when it comes to Doctor Who, it's always reflected these are

:54:18. > :54:22.guys, the age that it's been produced in and I think it was right

:54:23. > :54:28.for this particular change -- Zeitgeist. I've been a fan for many

:54:29. > :54:33.years and each of the actors who plays the Doctor, they make it their

:54:34. > :54:39.own, which seems like such an extraordinarily brilliant thing to

:54:40. > :54:41.do in some ways. I know. You talk about all the different

:54:42. > :54:46.interpretations, we've had everything from old men, Jon Pertwee

:54:47. > :54:51.with a bouffant hairstyle and a frilly shirt, they very much reflect

:54:52. > :54:56.the age in which they were produced. Interestingly I think I've heard a

:54:57. > :55:00.lot of responses from fans who are extremely worried, I'm never going

:55:01. > :55:06.to watch it again, but we should trust the producer, Chris Jade

:55:07. > :55:12.North, not to put Jodie Whittaker in a pair of stilettos running in a

:55:13. > :55:17.field handing the sonic screwdriver to a companion and saying you deal

:55:18. > :55:22.with it. I think the Doctor will always have that character. I think

:55:23. > :55:29.the character of the Doctor won't disappear. The Doctor has always had

:55:30. > :55:35.the moral high ground. I say he, the Doctor, is not an action hero. He

:55:36. > :55:39.isn't someone who throws people around with the strength of his

:55:40. > :55:44.muscles, it actually doesn't matter whether the Doctor is a man or a

:55:45. > :55:47.woman because that essential goodness, that essential fighting

:55:48. > :55:52.for the outsider I think we'll probably still be there. Let's leave

:55:53. > :55:56.it with that thought, that essential goodness. Thanks for your time on

:55:57. > :55:59.Breakfast this morning. Get in touch with us to let us know what you

:56:00. > :56:01.think about the appointment of Jodie Whittaker as the next Doctor Who,

:59:25. > :59:26.to Louise and Dan. This is Breakfast, with Dan Walker

:59:27. > :59:36.and Louise Minchin. Details of 16,000 jobs

:00:25. > :00:26.title for Roger Federer, as he beats Marin Cilic

:00:27. > :00:34.in straight sets. The first man ever to achieve that.

:00:35. > :00:37.And he is already favourite for next year.

:00:38. > :00:40.1,000 years after the lynx became extinct in the UK,

:00:41. > :00:42.the authorities consider a plan to reintroduce them in Northern

:00:43. > :00:54.There's been plenty of reaction like that to the revelation that

:00:55. > :00:58.Jodie Whittaker will take the title role in the next series of Doctor

:00:59. > :01:00.We'll be hearing from fans and critics.

:01:01. > :01:08.The Humber Bridge becomes a listed building.

:01:09. > :01:18.The banks of the Humber. The weather. Thank you. Good morning. It

:01:19. > :01:22.was 36 years ago today the bridge was officially opened. Today it

:01:23. > :01:34.joins the likes of Buckingham Palace and the House of Commons in

:01:35. > :01:39.receiving Grade One listed status. Plenty of sunshine in the weather.

:01:40. > :01:42.Will it last? More on that in 15 minutes. Thank you.

:01:43. > :01:47.Details of 16,000 jobs are being revealed this morning

:01:53. > :01:56.Later this afternoon, the routes for extensions to Leeds

:01:57. > :01:58.and Manchester will also be announced.

:01:59. > :02:01.Our business correspondent, Joe Lynam, has more.

:02:02. > :02:03.It's Britain's biggest investment ever in public transport.

:02:04. > :02:06.HighSpeed2 is designed to cut journey times and increase

:02:07. > :02:07.the number of passenger seats between London

:02:08. > :02:12.It's been six years in the planning but now the first

:02:13. > :02:14.construction contracts have been signed, and they're worth ?6.6

:02:15. > :02:17.billion, which the government says will support 16,000 jobs

:02:18. > :02:20.The first trains aren't expected to run, though,

:02:21. > :02:35.until 2026, by which time they hope to carry 300,000 passengers per day.

:02:36. > :02:37.?50 billion on a track of this nature...

:02:38. > :02:41.The Stop HS2 Campaign in the Chiltern says it will only

:02:42. > :02:44.benefit the richest in society and the corporations who build it.

:02:45. > :02:48.And reports on the weekend said HS2 could end up as the most expensive

:02:49. > :02:55.Even so, the muddy work of spades in the ground begins next year

:02:56. > :02:57.for what the government calls "The backbone

:02:58. > :03:19.Let's get more on this story with Sean.

:03:20. > :03:33.Many of those 16,000 jobs will be working for a lot of British

:03:34. > :03:37.companies, though some foreign ones. People don't know the breakdown of

:03:38. > :03:44.how much muggy is going to how many areas just yet. Last week, this

:03:45. > :03:52.business has had their shares fall by 16%. They have given money to

:03:53. > :03:56.others to look after this project. This could be seen as a lifeline for

:03:57. > :04:02.them. A contract they needed to win. There are many question marks after

:04:03. > :04:07.last week. What is important is that it is under way, it seems. Some of

:04:08. > :04:16.our preliminary work will begin next year. Many jobs. But those residents

:04:17. > :04:21.will be wondering about those route changes. It could affect many people

:04:22. > :04:25.in their homes. We will find out more about that this morning. Thank

:04:26. > :04:27.you so much. We will talk to you more about that.

:04:28. > :04:31.The case of a terminally ill man who wants to change the law

:04:32. > :04:34.in England and Wales so a doctor is allowed to help him die returns

:05:08. > :05:15.The government is looking to increase the punishment for acid

:05:16. > :05:17.attacks. Amber Rudd said she wanted perpetrators to feel the full force

:05:18. > :05:24.of the law. A memorial forest is being

:05:25. > :05:26.dedicated to the victims of the Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17

:05:27. > :05:29.today, near Amsterdam's Schipol 298 people died when the plane

:05:30. > :05:33.was shot down over eastern Ukraine International prosecutors say

:05:34. > :05:36.a Russian missile was fired from rebel held territory,

:05:37. > :05:47.which Moscow disputes. We will talk to people about that

:05:48. > :06:02.soon. George A Romero, the horror film

:06:03. > :06:05.director known as the Zombie Master, Romero co-wrote

:06:06. > :06:08.and directed Night of the Living Dead in 1968

:06:14. > :06:17.the director died in his sleep while listening to the soundtrack

:06:18. > :06:20.to the film The Quiet Man after a brief battle

:06:21. > :06:21.with lung cancer. The Brexit Secretary, David Davis,

:06:22. > :06:25.has called for both sides to "get down to business" this morning,

:06:26. > :06:28.as the next round of negotiating Mr Davis is meeting

:06:29. > :06:31.the European Commission's chief Key issues will include the future

:06:32. > :06:35.rights of EU citizens in the UK and British citizens living in other

:06:36. > :06:39.member states along with the Irish border and a financial

:06:40. > :06:44.settlement from the UK. Adam Fleming is outside the

:06:45. > :06:47.commission. What will be on the agenda? Anything different? Last

:06:48. > :06:50.time these two men met it was the talk about acting all things, like

:06:51. > :06:53.the timetable of things going forward. This is their first chance

:06:54. > :06:58.to talk about clarifying each side's position. Both sides have released a

:06:59. > :07:02.flurry of papers. They will be asking questions about what they

:07:03. > :07:06.actually mean to be the big issues on the table at the moment, David

:07:07. > :07:11.Davis says his priority is the rights of citizens. What will happen

:07:12. > :07:15.to EU citizens living in the UK after Brexit and what guarantees

:07:16. > :07:22.will people living in the EU have after Brexit? Michel Barnier, from

:07:23. > :07:28.the EU side, he is talking about the financial settlement, wanting be UK

:07:29. > :07:34.to agree to the principle to pay money to the EU to leave. -- the.

:07:35. > :07:39.That will not be due until the future. A thorny issue. Everyone

:07:40. > :07:45.here is obsessed about what is happening back home. How long we'll

:07:46. > :07:53.Theresa May remain Prime Minister? -- will. And are ministers

:07:54. > :07:56.disagreeing about how long and whether there should be a transition

:07:57. > :08:11.period? Thank you for that. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

:08:12. > :08:15.will travel to Poland later today. It's part of a trip

:08:16. > :08:17.that the Foreign Office hopes will remind EU countries

:08:18. > :08:20.about the strength of their ties William and Kate will take

:08:21. > :08:23.their children Prince George and Princess Charlotte to Warsaw

:08:24. > :08:26.before going on to Germany later Here's our royal

:08:27. > :08:29.correspondent, Peter Hunt. For a Duke and Duchess,

:08:30. > :08:34.the pleasure of a Wimbledon final will be replaced by flying

:08:35. > :08:36.the flag in Poland. It's a visit that's already

:08:37. > :08:39.attracted attention here. This is a country that relatively

:08:40. > :08:42.recently embraced the EU, welcoming the royal representatives

:08:43. > :08:45.of one on the way out of a royal The monarchy will experience

:08:46. > :08:50.Poland's turbulent past, and a visit to a museum representing

:08:51. > :08:52.an unsuccessful uprising This visit to Poland and then

:08:53. > :08:56.Germany will inevitably be seen It won't obviously have any impact

:08:57. > :09:02.on the negotiations, but the government hopes

:09:03. > :09:05.their presence will show the strength of the ties once

:09:06. > :09:10.Britain has left the EU. They brought that presence to France

:09:11. > :09:15.in March and other cities in their roles as royal

:09:16. > :09:23.ambassadors for the UK. As in Canada last year,

:09:24. > :09:26.the Cambridges are coming en masse. For George and Charlotte,

:09:27. > :09:29.such trips are a novelty. Eventually, they will

:09:30. > :09:44.be a way of life. We are going back to a main story.

:09:45. > :09:48.One of the most controversial debates about time.

:09:49. > :09:53.Should we be able to choose when and where we die

:09:54. > :09:55.if we are suffering from a terminal and debilitating illness?

:09:56. > :09:59.Noel Conway has Motor Neurone Disease and wants to change the law

:10:00. > :10:02.in England and Wales so anyone who helps him end his life

:10:03. > :10:07.His case returns to court today and we will debate it in a moment.

:10:08. > :10:09.First, here is Noel's story in his own words.

:10:10. > :10:15.I do not want to die very slowly of suffocation and being semiconscious

:10:16. > :10:19.until I am in a condition where I don't even know what is going on.

:10:20. > :10:27.That is called... For some people, they say that is good palliative

:10:28. > :10:30.care. But I am sorry, that is not an acceptable option for me. They

:10:31. > :10:34.cannot tell me how long it will take. None of them can. It could be

:10:35. > :10:44.days, it could be weeks, it could be even longer. I... I... I am going to

:10:45. > :10:50.be left in a situation at some stage when I can face that amount of

:10:51. > :11:01.suffering, actually being locked in my own body, or are facing a slow,

:11:02. > :11:07.suffocating death, drifting off slowly into unconsciousness. Why

:11:08. > :11:09.should I have to do that? I know I am going to die.

:11:10. > :11:13.Tony Bonser volunteers at a hospice, is a former trustee

:11:14. > :11:16.for the National Council for Palliative Care and opposes any

:11:17. > :11:19.Mick Murray on the other hand is a campaigner

:11:20. > :11:28.I am sure this is a conversation many people having listened to you

:11:29. > :11:34.this morning will be having themselves. We will start with you.

:11:35. > :11:37.Why are you opposed to changes in the law? First of all, I am

:11:38. > :11:43.immensely moved by that story and that extract we have seen. It is not

:11:44. > :11:47.the first such example. I don't know how people cope in that situation,

:11:48. > :11:53.and I don't know how his wife, his partner, manages in that situation

:11:54. > :11:58.either. I would, as you know, I work for a local hospice, I deal with a

:11:59. > :12:04.lot of people near the end of their lives. I find that people tend to be

:12:05. > :12:08.vulnerable, able to be persuade. When I was with the national council

:12:09. > :12:13.for palliative care, we did research showing how people are concerned

:12:14. > :12:18.about not being of use, a bother, being a burden to their families. I

:12:19. > :12:23.am concerned at a time when they are vulnerable, although they have

:12:24. > :12:30.mental capacity, they are able to be persuaded. I think the problem is

:12:31. > :12:36.creating a law allowing people like Noel to have his wish, to end his

:12:37. > :12:43.life with dignity, safeguarding the rights of people vulnerable. Let us

:12:44. > :12:46.put that to you. You are on the other side of the fence. And that

:12:47. > :12:51.point about vulnerable people being brought in difficult positions. What

:12:52. > :12:56.is your response to that? The campaign is arguing that for a

:12:57. > :13:02.number of checks and balances to be put in place to stop that happening,

:13:03. > :13:07.primarily, two doctors should determine mental capacity, they

:13:08. > :13:14.should also determine it is a terminal illness. And finally, a

:13:15. > :13:19.High Court judge, a judge in a family court, they should determine

:13:20. > :13:25.there is no pressure, it is a freely made decision. You have both got

:13:26. > :13:31.personal experience again from different points of view. I have

:13:32. > :13:42.been to Dignitas twice, a husband and his wife, within two years of

:13:43. > :13:46.each other. She died of palsy, and there is no palliative care for

:13:47. > :13:51.that. She could no longer use her tongue and could not speak. In the

:13:52. > :13:57.end, she decided to end her life. She could not do it here. One year

:13:58. > :14:06.and a half later, my best friend, Bob, who was a very active mountain

:14:07. > :14:12.near, campaign, what have you, contracted asbestosis, ravaging him

:14:13. > :14:16.to the point where he had 22 boxes of pills beside his bed. --

:14:17. > :14:21.mountaineer. He was still like this, clutching his chest, rocking

:14:22. > :14:25.backwards and forwards, saying I feel as though my chest is on fire.

:14:26. > :14:30.So the argument is not that people should not have palliative care, of

:14:31. > :14:39.course they should, but sometimes it does not work. Bob was especially

:14:40. > :14:46.lucid, along with his wife before him. And you lost your son? Yes. He

:14:47. > :14:53.died in 2009 after five years of having soft tissue sarcoma. He had a

:14:54. > :14:56.different outlook on things. Although towards the end he was

:14:57. > :15:02.increasingly disabled, found it difficult to walk found it difficult

:15:03. > :15:06.to eat. And his pain levels grew increasingly high until he really

:15:07. > :15:13.needed very high levels of morphine just to control the pain. But he

:15:14. > :15:18.always wanted to live and get the full amount out of life. The morning

:15:19. > :15:22.of the day he died, he said to me, dad, I am going to beat cancer. That

:15:23. > :15:26.is what made it work. Some people say you should not fight it. That is

:15:27. > :15:30.what kept him alive. Different people have different attitudes.

:15:31. > :15:37.There is the key problem, that's why the law is very keen on this. It

:15:38. > :15:41.comes down to individuals but you were talking about people who

:15:42. > :15:46.perhaps need to be protected, do you see that point? As I said earlier, I

:15:47. > :15:50.completely agree that there need to be checks and balances that at the

:15:51. > :15:54.moment there is no legal control, lots of people are taking their own

:15:55. > :15:59.lives in private, assisted by friends, which is potentially

:16:00. > :16:07.illegal. The campaign I think is for... I admire Noel's being able to

:16:08. > :16:13.campaign at a time when he is dying, which is remarkable. Is not just

:16:14. > :16:16.campaigning for himself, he's campaigning for others so they can

:16:17. > :16:20.have the freedom to die with dignity. That's a pretty basic human

:16:21. > :16:26.rights. Tony, as we've been explaining through Nick, that right

:16:27. > :16:32.to control how your life comes to an end? I totally understand that and I

:16:33. > :16:38.have enormous admiration for Noel and his bike. I looked at the

:16:39. > :16:41.proposed changes to the law and I accept all the checks and balances

:16:42. > :16:45.but it doesn't stop people being influenced at a time when they are

:16:46. > :16:50.very susceptible -- fight. That's my concern. Say I believe personal

:16:51. > :16:55.experience isn't a good guide to good, sound law. We need to find a

:16:56. > :16:58.form of law that meets all the requirements and it doesn't at the

:16:59. > :17:04.moment. Thanks very much to you both. That goes to the High Court

:17:05. > :17:08.today and Nole Conway is too ill to go to court but thank you very much

:17:09. > :17:13.indeed -- Noel Conway. Thanks very much. I'm sure you will be involved

:17:14. > :17:15.at home as well. Let us know what you think. We will try to read out

:17:16. > :17:22.your comments later on. It's going to be lovely, it is

:17:23. > :17:27.already if you are by the Humber Bridge, like Matt this morning. Good

:17:28. > :17:32.morning again! Good morning and good morning to you. I am by the Humber

:17:33. > :17:36.Bridge, it took 100 years of campaigning, eight years of

:17:37. > :17:42.construction, tens of thousands of tons of steel and concrete and at

:17:43. > :17:47.peak construction it was using 1000 members of staff. Today, exactly 36

:17:48. > :17:51.years after it was officially opened by the Queen, it has received grade

:17:52. > :17:55.one listed status putting it on a par with the likes of Buckingham

:17:56. > :17:59.Palace and the houses of Commons. It's not the only place to receive

:18:00. > :18:06.listed status today, eight other parts of Britain's England's I

:18:07. > :18:27.should say have received listed status. It is linked to Hull's city

:18:28. > :18:31.of culture status -- England's I should say have received listed

:18:32. > :18:35.status. Out of them all it has to be said my favourite is the bridge

:18:36. > :18:39.behind me. A beautiful sight. 8 million journeys are taken over that

:18:40. > :18:41.bridge every year and traffic is building now.

:18:42. > :18:48.Blue skies overhead at the moment. If we look at the forecast today,

:18:49. > :18:52.not just blue skies here but blue skies for many, shaping up to be a

:18:53. > :18:57.stunning summer's date for the vast majority. We've started on a fresh

:19:04. > :19:06.summer's day. Patchy cloud in the English Channel towards the

:19:07. > :19:10.south-west and the west of Wales, high cloud elsewhere turning

:19:11. > :19:14.sunshine hazy but for most blue skies overhead. North and west

:19:15. > :19:21.Scotland more cloud with a few showers, mainly like. They will

:19:22. > :19:24.continue to affect Orkney and Shetland into the afternoon but

:19:25. > :19:27.elsewhere the cloud will break up and the sunshine will come through

:19:28. > :19:30.-- mainly light. Temperature is widely into the 20s and very strong

:19:31. > :19:34.sunshine overhead, even if it doesn't feel as hot and humid for

:19:35. > :19:39.some in the south as yesterday but temperatures in the south-east could

:19:40. > :19:43.peak at around 25 or 27. 25 or 26 in some parts of north-east England,

:19:44. > :19:47.including here by the Humber in Hull, 25 not out the question in

:19:48. > :19:50.eastern Northern Ireland and eastern Scotland but always cooler in Orkney

:19:51. > :19:55.and Shetland where we continue with the cloud. Tonight the cloud will

:19:56. > :19:58.come and go in Orkney and Shetland, more cloud to the west of England

:19:59. > :20:06.and Wales but most will have clearer skies, light winds and patchy mist

:20:07. > :20:09.and fog and fresh to start. Temperatures changing from day to

:20:10. > :20:13.night to start the week. But tomorrow could be a hot day. A bit

:20:14. > :20:17.more cloud in western England and Wales but still with good sunny

:20:18. > :20:21.spells to be found. Temperatures will shoot up markedly but with more

:20:22. > :20:24.of a breeze to the south and east of England, warmest weather will be

:20:25. > :20:30.found in parts of the south-west Midlands and south east Wales, where

:20:31. > :20:33.we could get 28 or 29 and to the north of Scotland, 27 or 28 around

:20:34. > :20:39.the Moray Firth and north-west Highlands. Late on you will notice

:20:40. > :20:43.those clusters of shower clouds pushing up from south-west England

:20:44. > :20:47.to Wales, they could produce nasty thunderstorms. Initially they will

:20:48. > :20:50.just be lightning but then in Northern Ireland and Scotland they

:20:51. > :20:52.will turn into torrential rain storms that could produce minor

:20:53. > :20:57.flooding and that will affect the far north-west on Wednesday. Hot and

:20:58. > :21:02.humid on Wednesday, especially to eastern England, 30 or 31 possible

:21:03. > :21:06.and we could see in temperatures thunderstorms brewing in England and

:21:07. > :21:10.Wales for a time. We will keep you updated tomorrow. Those storms out

:21:11. > :21:14.of the way by Thursday and it will feel fresher and it should be sunny

:21:15. > :21:17.for most on Thursday but in parts of Northern Ireland and western

:21:18. > :21:21.Scotland, more cloud and rain pushing in later. A cracking start

:21:22. > :21:26.to the week, stormy midweek and fresher to end. That's your weather

:21:27. > :21:31.in a nutshell. Back to you both. Thanks very much, see you in half an

:21:32. > :21:34.hour. I have a fact about the Humber Bridge, it is so good I am going to

:21:35. > :21:35.save it! It's more than 1,000 years

:21:36. > :21:38.since the lynx became extinct in the UK but campaigners hope

:21:39. > :21:40.a decision later today An application being considered

:21:41. > :21:44.by Natural England could see them released into Kielder Forest

:21:45. > :21:46.in Northumberland, but the return of a major predator

:21:47. > :21:48.is worrying farmers. Breakfast's Graham Satchell has

:21:49. > :21:52.got all the details. The last lynx in Britain was killed

:21:53. > :21:56.for its fur 1,300 years ago. The application going

:21:57. > :21:58.in to Natural England today Between six and ten wild lynx

:21:59. > :22:02.released into Kielder Forest in This is a huge

:22:03. > :22:11.conservation milestone. This is the first licence ever

:22:12. > :22:14.submitted to reintroduce lynx This is a life-sized cutout

:22:15. > :22:19.of a lynx, so that's actually how big a real lynx is,

:22:20. > :22:22.so they aren't that big, Paul O'Donoghue from the Lynx Trust

:22:23. > :22:27.has been doing a consultation, talking, listening and explaining

:22:28. > :22:29.and the children at Kielder First Lynx live all over the world

:22:30. > :22:35.and in human history a healthy wild lynx has never, ever,

:22:36. > :22:38.ever attacked a human anywhere There's a genuine excitement

:22:39. > :22:46.here and enthusiasm for the return They do look really nice and it's

:22:47. > :22:50.good that they don't hurt any They might not hurt people

:22:51. > :22:58.but lynx are expert hunters. Deer eat out the understory,

:22:59. > :23:07.they overgrazed and if you see now there's very little under story

:23:08. > :23:10.around so there's not really many places for small mammals and birds

:23:11. > :23:14.to nest and lynx are needed to control that balance,

:23:15. > :23:16.to balance the ecosystem. Not according to sheep farmers,

:23:17. > :23:19.who say deer are not a problem I think it's absolutely a stupid

:23:20. > :23:29.idea for a predator that's not been in this country for 1,000 years

:23:30. > :23:32.to be released where it's going to cause damage

:23:33. > :23:34.to viable business. As far as I'm concerned,

:23:35. > :23:37.the lynx will go for the easy target, which is going

:23:38. > :23:47.to be sheep and lamb. Farmers would be compensated

:23:48. > :23:49.for any livestock lost, but they are strongly

:23:50. > :23:55.against the issuing of a licence. There's got to be a legal case taken

:23:56. > :23:59.against them because to release a dangerous animal onto private

:24:00. > :24:02.land, that can't possibly be right. I can understand the

:24:03. > :24:08.farmers being nervous... In the local pub, Mike Brown

:24:09. > :24:13.is thinking about his business. One estimate suggests the lynx

:24:14. > :24:15.could bring around ?30 million It is the most remote village

:24:16. > :24:25.in England, so we need as many We rely on tourist trade,

:24:26. > :24:29.that's 99% of the trade Will Kielder Forest become

:24:30. > :24:35.the land of the lynx? The decision is now in the hands

:24:36. > :24:39.of Natural England but if they say yes, experts predict

:24:40. > :24:42.there could eventually be as many as 400 lynx in forests

:24:43. > :24:44.around the UK. Graham Satchell, BBC

:24:45. > :25:00.News, Kielder Forest. Very beautiful. Would you like me to

:25:01. > :25:06.give you the fact about the Humber Bridge? I can't wait. This has been

:25:07. > :25:10.sent in by Tim. And actual fact? I think it is right, both the towers

:25:11. > :25:15.are vertical but they are not parallel. That is because of the

:25:16. > :25:20.curvature of the Earth, they are so far apart, as you can see, there's a

:25:21. > :25:24.few inches' difference between the top and the bottom because it is so

:25:25. > :25:30.big. I'm not sure that's my favourite of your facts. OK, I have

:25:31. > :25:32.stolen it from Tim Hill but thanks for those, keep sending them in.

:25:33. > :28:53.That's the scene in Hull this Now, though, it's back

:28:54. > :28:55.to Louise and Dan. This is Breakfast, with Dan Walker

:28:56. > :29:13.and Louise Minchin. The final route for

:29:14. > :29:17.the controversial HS2 rail line north of Birmingham

:29:18. > :29:19.will be announced today There's also more detail on who has

:29:20. > :29:23.been awarded contracts worth nearly seven billion pounds to work

:29:24. > :29:26.on the first stretch of the line and information

:29:27. > :29:28.on around 16,000 jobs. The scheme has drawn controversy

:29:29. > :29:31.from campaigners who claim it will only benefit the richest in

:29:32. > :29:34.society but the Transport Secretary said it would "drive economic

:29:35. > :29:36.growth and productivity A terminally ill man will today

:29:37. > :29:58.begin a legal challenge to overturn Noel Conway, who has

:29:59. > :30:02.motor neurone disease, wants to change the law in England

:30:03. > :30:05.and Wales so a doctor is allowed to help him die when his

:30:06. > :30:08.health deteriorates. Under the current law,

:30:09. > :30:11.any doctor who helped him would face Opponents say the change would put

:30:12. > :30:15.vulnerable people at risk. We were talking to two guests about

:30:16. > :30:18.that earlier. The Brexit Secretary, David Davis,

:30:19. > :30:21.has called for both sides to "get down to business" this morning

:30:22. > :30:24.as the next round of negotiating Mr Davis is meeting

:30:25. > :30:28.the European Commission's chief Key issues will include the future

:30:29. > :30:32.rights of EU citizens in the UK and British citizens living

:30:33. > :30:37.in other member states. The rise in acid attacks will be

:30:38. > :30:39.discussed in Parliament today. The latest official figures suggest

:30:40. > :30:43.there were more than 400 assaults involving corrosive substances

:30:44. > :30:45.in England and Wales in the six The debate comes as the government

:30:46. > :30:49.begins a review into the issue which could see sentences

:30:50. > :30:52.for the offence increased. Yesterday, the Home Secretary Amber

:30:53. > :30:54.Rudd said she wanted perpetrators George A Romero, the horror

:30:55. > :31:03.film director known as "The Zombie Master," has

:31:04. > :31:06.died at the age of 77. Romero co-wrote and directed Night

:31:07. > :31:09.of the Living Dead in 1968 which became a cult classic,

:31:10. > :31:11.spawned a successful franchise and shaped horror

:31:12. > :31:13.movies for decades. According to his manager,

:31:14. > :31:16.the director died in his sleep while listening to the soundtrack

:31:17. > :31:19.to the film The Quiet Man after a brief battle

:31:20. > :31:28.with lung cancer. The after affects of the heatwave

:31:29. > :31:31.in Europe last week continue Fires have broken out in different

:31:32. > :31:34.corners of the continent. Firefighters tackled blazes

:31:35. > :31:36.on the Croatian coast, Scrubland in the mountains of Genoa,

:31:37. > :31:41.Italy, also set alight with ten And a fire in the north of Portugal,

:31:42. > :31:46.which had been declared as contained, spread once more,

:31:47. > :32:01.sending residents running. The Duchess of Cornwall turns 70

:32:02. > :32:04.today, and Clarence House have marked the occasion by releasing

:32:05. > :32:06.a new official portrait. The picture shows Camilla

:32:07. > :32:09.with the Prince of Wales in the morning room

:32:10. > :32:11.of their London home. It was taken by Mario Testino,

:32:12. > :32:14.who first photographed the couple on their first wedding

:32:15. > :32:56.anniversary in 2006. To the next news now. We will be

:32:57. > :33:10.talking about the macro weight, I will get this ready while we talk

:33:11. > :33:22.about the sport. We have some bridge facts coming on. Look at this golden

:33:23. > :33:36.picture of Roger Federer in a golden frame. He managed this without

:33:37. > :33:45.dropping a frame. Wasn't he a bit presumptuous with that T-shirt that

:33:46. > :33:47.had his name and the number eight? I will give you that one, I did not

:33:48. > :33:52.love that. But anyway. Yes, Roger Federer is the Wimbledon

:33:53. > :33:55.champion for a record eighth time and he did it without really needing

:33:56. > :33:59.to break sweat against Maric Cilic. Federer won in straight sets

:34:00. > :34:01.in just one hour 41 minutes The Swiss is the first man

:34:02. > :34:06.since Bjorn Borg to win the title without dropping a set

:34:07. > :34:13.throughout the tournament. I was not sure if I was ever going

:34:14. > :34:22.to be here again in another final after last year. I had some tough

:34:23. > :34:26.ones, losing to Novak Djokovic in 2014 and 2015. But I always thought

:34:27. > :34:28.I could maybe do it again. If you really

:34:29. > :34:30.believe you can go far enough I kept dreaming and

:34:31. > :34:34.believing, and here I am. And the last day of Wimbledon wasn't

:34:35. > :34:38.without some British success. Jamie Murray and former singles

:34:39. > :34:40.champion Martina Hingis beat the defending champions,

:34:41. > :34:42.Britain's Heather Watson and Finland's Henri Kontinen

:34:43. > :34:44.in straight sets. Really happy that I contacted Jamie

:34:45. > :34:46.for playing together. Pretty much my dream came true

:34:47. > :34:50.to give ourselves a good chance to win the title, and we did

:34:51. > :34:54.the blue it was a great two weeks And Jamie Murray wasn't

:34:55. > :35:07.the only British winner. Jordanne Whiley and her Japanese

:35:08. > :35:10.partner Yui Kamiji have won their fourth successive women's

:35:11. > :35:27.wheelchairs doubles title. Amazing achievements. You have to

:35:28. > :35:31.feel sorry for Marin Cilic with that horrible blister on the sole of his

:35:32. > :35:42.Ford which had to be attended to. Look at this! -- foot. Both he and

:35:43. > :35:46.the blister were weeping. That is when you realise you are on your

:35:47. > :35:53.own. You cannot turn to a tee. He was waiting his whole career for

:35:54. > :36:13.this. The only thing you can say in consolation is you would hope he

:36:14. > :36:16.would be there again. Talking about that, Roger has said he hasn't

:36:17. > :36:22.thought about next year, but wouldn't it be wonderful. Do you

:36:23. > :36:25.think he will be going for ten? Maybe he could be cryogenically

:36:26. > :36:45.frozen and brought out every year for Wimbledon. They are at the top

:36:46. > :36:47.of the game now and are doing things like only playing important matches,

:36:48. > :36:49.play less, play better. Maybe we should all do that and only come

:36:50. > :36:51.into work every once in a while. Great Britain's Jonnie Peacock has

:36:52. > :36:55.won gold in the Men's 100m T44 to become the eighth British

:36:56. > :36:57.gold-medallist of the 2017 Peacock's winning time was 10.75

:36:58. > :37:01.seconds inside the London Stadium, it was actually slower

:37:02. > :37:02.than his heat-winning Britain also picked up a bronze

:37:03. > :37:07.through Maria Lyle in the Women's I knew I was in good form,

:37:08. > :37:11.but at the end of the day, when it comes to the final,

:37:12. > :37:14.I don't care about times. It is a great cherry

:37:15. > :37:17.on top of the icing, but medals are what I can keep

:37:18. > :37:21.forever and what I can look back on. And there's been more British

:37:22. > :37:23.success this weekend. Lewis Hamilton won

:37:24. > :37:25.the British Grand Prix The historic victory

:37:26. > :37:29.moves him to within a point of Sebastien Vettel at the half way

:37:30. > :37:32.stage of the Formula One season. That, after the Championship Leader

:37:33. > :37:35.suffered a dramatic late puncture. I am so proud to see

:37:36. > :37:40.all of these flags. Thank you for the support

:37:41. > :37:46.and pushing us. England's cricketers need to produce

:37:47. > :38:03.an heroic effort if they're to avoid defeat, when the second test

:38:04. > :38:06.against South Africa The tourists are firmly in control

:38:07. > :38:09.after setting England a target Englands reply got off to a nervous

:38:10. > :38:15.start when Alastair Cook was given That decision was eventually

:38:16. > :38:18.overturned but England face an uphull task to stop South Africa

:38:19. > :38:21.levelling the series. We did not play very well at all,

:38:22. > :38:25.but we have the opportunity to bat well for the next two days

:38:26. > :38:28.and see what we can do. You cannot rule it out as well,

:38:29. > :38:31.with the players we have. And the wickets are

:38:32. > :38:33.still pretty good. We have played spin

:38:34. > :38:49.pretty well in the past. And one man who wasn't expecting

:38:50. > :39:02.to be there is Callum Shinkwin. The world number 405

:39:03. > :39:05.earned his place, finishing second But it could have been

:39:06. > :39:08.oh so much sweeter. The 24-year-old missed a putt to win

:39:09. > :39:11.the tournament outright, had to play-off against

:39:12. > :39:14.Rafa Cabera Bello, and missed again, handing the Spaniard

:39:15. > :39:24.victory at Dundonald. Open soon. And the incredible game,

:39:25. > :39:34.set, mug. Before that, can I use these to assist your understanding

:39:35. > :39:40.of the Humber Bridge. The towers are vertical, but not parallel, because

:39:41. > :39:45.of the curvature of the Earth. A vertical tower. They are vertical.

:39:46. > :39:54.But because they are so far apart, there it is,... When they come back,

:39:55. > :40:07.they are not parallel, because they are like this. Or are they like

:40:08. > :40:11.that? No... Oh, I never did geography. It is like that, isn't

:40:12. > :40:18.it? Different at the bottom. I am glad you used tennis racquets or I

:40:19. > :40:30.would never get it. We are only allowed one go each at this. In!

:40:31. > :40:41.Nearly! For the team! I need a racket. Absolutely useless. One,

:40:42. > :40:45.two, three! I never knew that tennis racquets could be so useful. Maybe I

:40:46. > :41:00.would have done geography is my teacher had them. We needed a proper

:41:01. > :41:02.go. You are a great teacher. I nearly went into it but was told I

:41:03. > :41:05.was too mature. Good morning. Getting a dog can be one of the most

:41:06. > :41:09.important and rewarding decisions a family can make but an increasing

:41:10. > :41:12.number of people are being caught The RSPCA says 2016 saw the largest

:41:13. > :41:17.number of calls by the public reporting problems with breeders

:41:18. > :41:20.and dealers and the charity is warning buyers against people

:41:21. > :41:22.in the trade who put We spoke to some dog lovers

:41:23. > :41:47.about what precautions you should Hi, this is our dog. A lot of

:41:48. > :41:53.problems nowadays with puppy farms. We wanted to look at where he was.

:41:54. > :42:05.We were lucky. I am from Manchester and these are my three dogs. Our

:42:06. > :42:11.first pup was two years old when he died of PDA, meningitis. It meant he

:42:12. > :42:16.was ill. We found out later from the puppy farm. Unfortunately, we got

:42:17. > :42:24.the wrong choice at that time. Hi, I'm Jen. This is a four-year-old

:42:25. > :42:44.puppy. We did not think about the whole process and breed at the time.

:42:45. > :42:48.I'm Nick. And this is Vanessa. And this is our boy Albert. And this is

:42:49. > :42:51.our little girl Victoria. Recommended breeders locally were

:42:52. > :42:55.good for us. We went down to see Albert and meet him for the first

:42:56. > :42:59.time. They also check us out to make sure we were good dog owners. Some

:43:00. > :43:08.people just say that is great and go home with a puppy. Some people go

:43:09. > :43:16.home without thinking about it first. Look at the research first.

:43:17. > :43:22.Personally, he is like a grandchild to me and has made our family.

:43:23. > :43:35.They were amazing scenes. Honestly, there were 2000 pugs outside. It was

:43:36. > :43:35.Pugfest. Joining us now to discuss this

:43:36. > :43:46.further is the RSPCA's Good morning. Good morning. People

:43:47. > :43:49.might think that a puppy is a puppy, but you are concerned about where

:43:50. > :43:57.they are coming from. Yes. What we have seen in the last 5- the years

:43:58. > :44:01.is a huge increase in puppies being sold directly over the Internet. --

:44:02. > :44:16.5-6. They are coming from puppy farms in Eastern Europe. They are

:44:17. > :44:20.trucked in by the hundreds through the ports and sold on through free

:44:21. > :44:23.internet sites in days. The problem is the welfare standards were the

:44:24. > :44:26.dogs are bred are considerably less than what is expected. The dogs are

:44:27. > :44:29.removed from their mothers too early and they don't get the right

:44:30. > :44:38.immunisation levels they should. They have no vaccinations. There is

:44:39. > :44:45.cross contamination between dogs and their source. They come in to the

:44:46. > :44:53.country carrying life-threatening diseases that don't really manifest

:44:54. > :44:59.themselves until a couple of days after the buyer gets them home. It

:45:00. > :45:04.is not just about pugs, but all puppies. When we got our dog, we got

:45:05. > :45:08.the advice to make sure you can see the mother and check them out. What

:45:09. > :45:14.other advice can we give them? It is all about research. You have to do

:45:15. > :45:21.as much research as possible. Don't give in to the temptation of

:45:22. > :45:39.instantly buying. If you do your research on the Internet, look at

:45:40. > :45:43.local breeders, go onto the RSPCA website where they have the Puppy

:45:44. > :45:47.Contract, a guidebook on how to buy a dog. It tells you what you should

:45:48. > :45:50.be doing. The problem is a lot of these dealers are criminal by

:45:51. > :45:55.nature. And what they set out to do is to dupe that buyer into believing

:45:56. > :45:57.they have a homebred puppy. So if they are floundering, that is a red

:45:58. > :46:06.flag. They will have an adult dog present

:46:07. > :46:11.at the place of sale and try to pass that off as the mother of the

:46:12. > :46:16.puppies. If when you turn up that dog is showing no interest in the

:46:17. > :46:20.puppies or it has been produced from another room or they will come up

:46:21. > :46:25.with a story about the mother is out at the vet all gone for a walk,

:46:26. > :46:29.these should be raising red flags not to purchase from those sellers.

:46:30. > :46:34.Obviously as well when you get a puppy, and you take it to your vet,

:46:35. > :46:39.make sure it has the right vaccinations. The first place you

:46:40. > :46:43.should go to is your local vet, any documentation given with these dogs,

:46:44. > :46:48.take that to the vet and get them to have a look at it. They will produce

:46:49. > :46:54.fake vaccination cards and it's the key time when you get the puppy home

:46:55. > :46:59.where it could fall ill. Those key questions, on the RSPCA website?

:47:00. > :47:03.Yes, the puppy contract, you can download it and it will give you the

:47:04. > :47:09.advice you need. The dog should know its name as well if there is the

:47:10. > :47:11.mother there. All these things are put in place to defraud the buyer.

:47:12. > :47:20.Thanks so much! We are out and about this morning by

:47:21. > :47:23.the side of the Humber Bridge and we have been learning about the

:47:24. > :47:27.curvature of the Earth and we can learn about the weather with Matt,

:47:28. > :47:34.who has a gorgeous view. Good morning. Another fact, did you know

:47:35. > :47:39.the first plans and proposals for a crossing across the Humber at this

:47:40. > :47:47.point were in 1872. It was meant to be a tunnel. Several proposals have

:47:48. > :47:51.been since and in 1959, the Humber Bridge, in all its splendour, got

:47:52. > :47:57.its construction approval but it wasn't until this day in 1981 that

:47:58. > :48:00.the Queen officially opened it. It is a stunning example of

:48:01. > :48:05.architecture and engineering and today it has received grade one

:48:06. > :48:09.listed status, which puts it in line with the likes of Buckingham Palace

:48:10. > :48:14.and the House of Commons. It's not the only place to receive listed

:48:15. > :48:19.status today, all other aid arguing to be in the city of falsity, part

:48:20. > :48:34.of the City of Culture, including some gorgeous Edwardian toilets in

:48:35. > :48:41.the city -- eight all in the city of Hull. This structure behind me, 410

:48:42. > :48:46.metres in length, the most well-known of all. Under blue skies

:48:47. > :48:50.at the moment. It will be under blue skies all day long, as will much of

:48:51. > :48:54.the UK. Not just a sunny day but after a fresh start it will be an

:48:55. > :48:59.increasingly warm one. A bit of cloud at the moment in western and

:49:00. > :49:02.Northern Scotland producing some light showers, they will continue in

:49:03. > :49:05.Orkney and Shetland into the afternoon and patchy cloud into

:49:06. > :49:09.parts of being this Channel, south-west England and for some in

:49:10. > :49:15.Wales. Most of that will be well broken with sunshine coming through,

:49:16. > :49:21.always more cloud to the south-west -- of the English Channel. Strong

:49:22. > :49:26.sunshine throughout. Temperatures in the low to mid 20s for many. Could

:49:27. > :49:30.hit 25 or 27 in some parts of eastern England, including in the

:49:31. > :49:35.north-east of England. Eastern parts of Northern Ireland could hit 25, as

:49:36. > :49:39.could eastern parts of Scotland. Always a bit cooler to the far north

:49:40. > :49:43.of Scotland, especially Orkney and Shetland, but you should finish the

:49:44. > :49:48.day dry with a few breaks in the cloud as well. Tonight, we start

:49:49. > :49:52.dry, a dry night for just about everyone again. A bit more cloud to

:49:53. > :49:56.the south-west of the country at times but with clear spies

:49:57. > :50:01.elsewhere, some mist and fog patches forming and a bit on the chillis

:50:02. > :50:08.side to start Tuesday -- clear skies. A bit of variation from

:50:09. > :50:13.morning and afternoon. -- chilly side. The breeze will be a bit

:50:14. > :50:17.stronger in southern and eastern England. You have to head west for

:50:18. > :50:23.the highest temperatures. Parts of the Midlands, south east in Wales,

:50:24. > :50:27.could get to 28 or 29 and could hit 27 in the far north of Scotland.

:50:28. > :50:31.Late in the day, some storms pushing into the south-west, lightning

:50:32. > :50:35.mainly to begin with but as they drift north overnight into parts of

:50:36. > :50:38.northern England and into Northern Ireland and western Scotland, some

:50:39. > :50:41.torrential rain storms are possible as well and rain on and off on

:50:42. > :50:46.Wednesday through the north-west of the UK. Sunshine for a time in

:50:47. > :50:50.England and Wales, very humid on Wednesday and we could see

:50:51. > :50:54.temperatures get very close to if not just above 30 Celsius in eastern

:50:55. > :50:58.parts of England but that in itself good set of one or two isolated but

:50:59. > :51:03.pretty severe storms. Details on where they will be, uncertain at the

:51:04. > :51:07.moment, we will keep you updated. Fresher air clears them out of the

:51:08. > :51:15.way on Thursday, rain to the north and west on Thursday later on but

:51:16. > :51:18.most will have a dry day and after a sticky Wednesday, feeling more

:51:19. > :51:21.comfortable as well. That's how your weather is looking from the glorious

:51:22. > :51:26.sight of the Humber Bridge here. Back to you both. Spectacular this

:51:27. > :51:28.morning. Thanks very much indeed! A swan in the background! I was

:51:29. > :51:38.fascinated by that's one! Palma Airport in Majorca is one

:51:39. > :51:40.of Europe's busiest airports for holidaymakers and lots

:51:41. > :51:43.of Brits on holiday there have been caught

:51:44. > :51:45.up in huge queues. Sean's has more on this,

:51:46. > :51:48.there's been a few problems Heathrow, Manchester,

:51:49. > :51:59.Edinburgh have all seen long queues for a variety of reasons,

:52:00. > :52:02.from technical glitches to power Palma Airport in Majorca

:52:03. > :52:06.was the latest to affect those on their holidays, with some queuing

:52:07. > :52:16.for more than two hours at passport My girlfriend and I flew into Palma

:52:17. > :52:22.airport on Wednesday evening. We were greeted with scenes of chaos.

:52:23. > :52:26.At passport control there was a queue of about 2000 people. It was

:52:27. > :52:31.hot, no air conditioning, no instructions being given by any of

:52:32. > :52:35.the officials, no water handed out, children crying. That you took about

:52:36. > :52:38.two hours to get through and when we finally got to passport control,

:52:39. > :52:43.there were only three passport control officers checking passports

:52:44. > :52:44.so all in all it was a terrible experience.

:52:45. > :52:52.Tony Mann is director of Idle Travel near Bradford.

:52:53. > :52:57.That sounded horrendous, that experience. More than 5 million

:52:58. > :53:02.people are going through the airport last year from the UK, what is going

:53:03. > :53:09.wrong? It seems since earlier on in the year, Palma was hit quite bad,

:53:10. > :53:14.these new passport security checks in place have meant it takes longer

:53:15. > :53:20.and at peak times they seem to have had a strain where people can be

:53:21. > :53:23.there up to two hours before so people need to take into account if

:53:24. > :53:27.you're an independent traveller to get there earlier. If you're on a

:53:28. > :53:31.package deal, they will be monitoring the situation and they

:53:32. > :53:35.will get you there in good time. You say get there in good time but if

:53:36. > :53:40.you get their two hours before your flight but you are met with a huge

:53:41. > :53:44.queue, and actually UQ for that length of time and you don't make

:53:45. > :53:48.it, what rights do you have to get your money back? Your rights aren't

:53:49. > :53:53.great because in the end it's not down to the airline, they say to get

:53:54. > :53:56.there in good time so it isn't their fault, you could be stuck and it

:53:57. > :54:00.could cost you more money to rebook unless you get a gesture of goodwill

:54:01. > :54:05.from the airline to read book your flights. We are coming up to peak

:54:06. > :54:09.time and a busy time so that will be difficult to do. Do you feel like

:54:10. > :54:14.airports are ready and prepared and have everything in place with these

:54:15. > :54:18.new regulations? Sometimes resources at certain airports are stretched at

:54:19. > :54:23.times. When peak times, long, whichever airport it is, we always

:54:24. > :54:28.advise customers to go at least two hours before. Even in the UK, could

:54:29. > :54:33.be be worse than previous summers? We are lucky in the travel industry

:54:34. > :54:38.at the moment, things have been going the way we are concerned.

:54:39. > :54:42.Flights... This is peak school holidays, these airports will be

:54:43. > :54:47.really busy. At times, whether it is abroad or in the UK, give yourself

:54:48. > :54:51.plenty of time. In terms of the resources British airports have got,

:54:52. > :54:56.do they have enough? It's not too bad at the British airports. On

:54:57. > :54:59.couple from quite a few different ones and at times certainly don't go

:55:00. > :55:03.for your minimum check-in time, that's not the thing to do because

:55:04. > :55:09.you would struggle so definitely go early. It strains a bit at peak

:55:10. > :55:15.times, like everything does, so my advice would be to go early and get

:55:16. > :55:21.a good travel experience. Go early, good advice! If you've had any

:55:22. > :55:27.experiences like this this summer then let us know. Rubbish if you go

:55:28. > :55:28.through that. Let us know on Twitter, Facebook and we will come

:55:29. > :55:37.back to you. I turn up very early at airports so

:55:38. > :55:41.thank you very much! I will go even earlier! Earlier we were talking

:55:42. > :55:46.about the right to die and so many people have got in contact, let me

:55:47. > :55:50.read a few. The right to die and manage one's own death is a basic

:55:51. > :55:54.human rights, right now people suffer with no option and our pets

:55:55. > :55:58.have much better end to life options. And as Lee said it is

:55:59. > :56:04.humane and right people have control when they die. -- Leslie says. Mike

:56:05. > :56:09.said it is a basic human necessity. Thanks for getting in touch. You can

:56:10. > :56:11.e-mail us or talk to us on Twitter as well.

:56:12. > :56:16.Keep watching because in the course of the next hour you may be one of

:56:17. > :56:21.those people, bleary eyed this morning, you may have watched season

:56:22. > :56:26.seven of Game of Thrones at 2am. We will be joined by one of the stars,

:56:27. > :56:28.she plays one of the characters in Game of Thrones. Gemma Weir and will

:56:29. > :56:30.be with us in the next hour. in our BBC newsrooms across the UK

:56:31. > :59:49.this morning. Plenty more on our website

:59:50. > :59:51.at the usual address. Now, though, it's back

:59:52. > :59:53.to Louise and Dan. Hello, this is Breakfast,

:59:54. > :00:33.with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. Details of 16,000 jobs are announced

:00:34. > :00:38.as the first major contracts to build the HS2 rail

:00:39. > :00:40.line are revealed. The high speed line

:00:41. > :00:42.between Birmingham and London will cost around 7 billion pounds -

:00:43. > :00:44.the final routes for extensions to Leeds and Manchester

:00:45. > :00:49.will also be unveiled. Good morning - we've just got

:00:50. > :00:52.the names of the companies who'll be building the first phase

:00:53. > :01:02.of the huge project. The likes of Carillion and Alfred

:01:03. > :01:04.Beatty or two of the firms that are rumoured to be involved.

:01:05. > :01:21.Also this morning: a record is broken at Wimbledon...

:01:22. > :01:23.The King of Centre Court does it again.

:01:24. > :01:25.A record EIGHTH Wimbledon title for Roger Federer,

:01:26. > :01:28.as he beats Marin Cilic in straight sets to become the first man

:01:29. > :01:35.1000 years after the lynx became extinct in the UK -

:01:36. > :01:52.a plan is considered to reintroduce them in Northern England.

:01:53. > :02:01.The next Doctor Who is a girl! Plenty of reaction like that as

:02:02. > :02:05.Jodie Whittaker is revealed as the next Doctor. We have more reaction.

:02:06. > :02:08.Game of Thrones is back - we'll be discussing series seven

:02:09. > :02:13.with Gemma Whelan who plays Yara Greyjoy.

:02:14. > :02:22.It doesn't look like winter is coming in Hull today. Matt is with

:02:23. > :02:26.us for the weather. Sunny skies overhead. It took 100 years of

:02:27. > :02:32.campaigning, eight years of construction, the Humber Bridge,

:02:33. > :02:36.this bridge has received grade one listed status, we will be talking

:02:37. > :02:37.about the bridge and the forecast which contains lots of sunshine but

:02:38. > :02:39.will it last? The final route for

:02:40. > :02:44.the controversial HS2 rail line north of Birmingham will be

:02:45. > :02:46.announced today - There's also more detail on who has

:02:47. > :02:52.been awarded contracts worth nearly seven billion pounds

:02:53. > :02:55.to work on the first stretch of the line -

:02:56. > :03:00.including troubled construction giant Carillion - and information

:03:01. > :03:13.on around 16,000 jobs. Sean is here. What do you have us?

:03:14. > :03:17.This is just the first phase, ?7 billion in total, when they have

:03:18. > :03:22.finally old at all, if that ever happens, we will get there in

:03:23. > :03:27.decades, ?57 billion, current costs. There have been questions over that

:03:28. > :03:31.figure, questions over the weekend, some researchers putting together

:03:32. > :03:35.figures saying it will be double that, but the government says it's

:03:36. > :03:41.not true, everything is on-time and on budget. That little bit of money

:03:42. > :03:44.this morning, little bit, ?7 billion, will go to companies

:03:45. > :03:47.including Balfour Beatty, the one that John died as Carillion,

:03:48. > :03:57.Brilliant making headlines last week, the share price fall in by 7%,

:03:58. > :03:59.financial problems, debt issues, interestingly along side the

:04:00. > :04:04.announcement, Carillion has said they are appointing a new strategic

:04:05. > :04:09.advisor to try and sort out the company, Albert the cost reductions.

:04:10. > :04:17.That is the one that might jump out but many workers who have worked on

:04:18. > :04:23.railway upgrades and other schemes, several companies listed. We will

:04:24. > :04:26.know about the route a little bit later because lots of people want to

:04:27. > :04:30.know where it is going. Yes, particularly the detail around

:04:31. > :04:34.Sheffield, we will get that later, whether it goes from Birmingham to

:04:35. > :04:38.Leeds, they have made a final decision but they should do today,

:04:39. > :04:42.also we might hear something about the line to crew and Manchester,

:04:43. > :04:47.could lead that could be implemented earlier than previously thought,

:04:48. > :04:52.2026 phase one, 2027 for the next bit to crew is what we could hear

:04:53. > :04:57.later but residents and environmentalists will be keen to

:04:58. > :05:00.watch that stop Carillion have got to build a tunnel through the

:05:01. > :05:04.children's, that has been particularly controversial.

:05:05. > :05:10.Sheffield is interesting, it was going to go to Meadowhall, the

:05:11. > :05:15.shopping centre, now told that it will go to an existing station, talk

:05:16. > :05:19.that it will go through homes, people moved into a new estate and

:05:20. > :05:24.just a couple of weeks later found out about the rail line. It's not

:05:25. > :05:26.the last time we will speak about this. No, I guarantee you. Thank

:05:27. > :05:31.you. The Brexit Secretary David Davis has

:05:32. > :05:34.called for both sides to "get down to business" this morning

:05:35. > :05:36.as the next round of negotiating He's meeting the European

:05:37. > :05:39.Commission's chief negotiator Our Brussels reporter Adam Fleming

:05:40. > :05:44.is outside the Commission. Adam, are they likely to make

:05:45. > :05:57.any progress this time? It's been pretty slow going, as we

:05:58. > :06:00.expected it would be? I think we will get a press Conference at the

:06:01. > :06:04.end of the week on Thursday at the end of the first round of

:06:05. > :06:09.substantive talks between David Davis and Michel Barnier. In terms

:06:10. > :06:12.of whether there will be progress, that's a good question, EU officials

:06:13. > :06:18.have told me this will be about clarification. Both sides exchanging

:06:19. > :06:22.papers on a range of issues, it will be about getting round a table and

:06:23. > :06:25.each other asking questions about what they really mean, getting

:06:26. > :06:31.details about the other's positions rather than making great leaves

:06:32. > :06:34.forward up this point. David Davis says his personal priority is the

:06:35. > :06:38.issue of citizens rights, what rights were EU citizens living in

:06:39. > :06:42.the UK after Brexit have and what about Brits living in the rest of

:06:43. > :06:46.the continent? Or Michel Barnier it's about getting the UK to agree a

:06:47. > :06:53.dose money to the EU as the result of leaving. Adam, thank you. A press

:06:54. > :06:57.Conference expected later, that will be a big topic of escutcheon, and

:06:58. > :07:02.BBC News Channel will be covering that. Also in the news today, a

:07:16. > :07:18.deteriorates further. Under the current law and England and Wales

:07:19. > :07:23.any doctored who helped him would face up to 14 years in prison but

:07:24. > :07:24.opponents say a change in the law would put vulnerable people at risk.

:07:25. > :07:37.Fergus Walsh has more. Noel Conway increasingly relies

:07:38. > :07:40.on a ventilator to help him breathe. His chest muscles are

:07:58. > :08:07.not one I can accept. Mr Conway came to a preliminary

:08:08. > :08:11.High Court hearing in March, but now feels too weak to make

:08:12. > :08:15.the journey from Shropshire. His lawyers will say he wants

:10:47. > :10:50.touch, thank you. John tweeted to say, as a father and grandfather to

:10:51. > :10:55.girls, he was pleased. Thank you, my assistant, my companion. Great

:10:56. > :10:58.heroes to aspire to, not just companions. Michael said he thought

:10:59. > :11:03.the show had been ruined for the sake of political correct this.

:11:04. > :11:07.Ouch. In the interest of balance there was quite a bit of that

:11:08. > :11:14.reaction. Colin Baxter, the sixth Doctor, tweeted... Not bad for an

:11:15. > :11:20.assistant? Colin Baker, the sixth Doctor, remember him? Change, my

:11:21. > :11:27.dears. Not a moment too soon. She is the doctor whether you like it or

:11:28. > :11:31.not. We will discuss that later on. They write for the Daily Mirror and

:11:32. > :11:35.they are a self-confessed Doctor Who fan. It's 11 minutes past eight.

:11:36. > :11:38.Let's return to one of the main stories.

:11:39. > :11:41.Three years after Flight MH17 was shot down by a missile over

:11:42. > :11:43.Ukraine, relatives are preparing to unveil a "living memorial"

:11:44. > :11:47.A total of 298 trees have been planted to represent each

:11:48. > :11:49.of the people who died on the Malaysia Airline jet.

:11:50. > :11:51.Our Europe Correspondent, Anna Holligan, is in the Hague

:11:52. > :12:01.Anna, it's going to be an emotional day, isn't it?

:12:02. > :12:08.It sounds like such a beautiful memorial. Tell us more about that.

:12:09. > :12:13.Hugely emotional day for the relatives. I was speaking to one of

:12:14. > :12:16.the mothers who lost her son on board flight image 17 and she said

:12:17. > :12:20.it's important to remember remembering brings all the memories

:12:21. > :12:25.flooding back so today this memorial Forest which was chosen by the

:12:26. > :12:29.relatives will be unveiled about 15 minutes Drive away from Schiphol

:12:30. > :12:33.airport were so many of them saw their loved ones for the last time.

:12:34. > :12:40.Each tree bears the name of one of the victims, one of the 298 people

:12:41. > :12:44.on board. It's designed to represent three things, growth, life and hope

:12:45. > :12:48.which is what so many of the families were still holding onto.

:12:49. > :12:52.And of course today is the third anniversary but it's also serving

:12:53. > :12:56.another purpose they say, to keep what happened in the public

:12:57. > :12:59.consciousness as they are terrified people will forget and the pressure

:13:00. > :13:05.will be off the authorities to bring those responsible to justice. As far

:13:06. > :13:09.as the investigation is concerned they identified a long list of

:13:10. > :13:13.persons of interest that they still haven't named any suspects. The

:13:14. > :13:14.victims relatives are still waiting and today remembering. Anne, thank

:13:15. > :13:20.you. A rather beautiful scene today. Joining us now is Jordan Withers,

:13:21. > :13:32.whose uncle Glenn Thomas I worked with Glenn, such a

:13:33. > :13:35.wonderful man. Jordan, you have talked to us very honestly about

:13:36. > :13:42.what is going on, as it is special day today? Massively special. My

:13:43. > :13:47.parents are in the Netherlands today, marking the downing of flight

:13:48. > :14:00.image 17, the trees are being planted, the ribbon that we were in

:14:01. > :14:06.memory of MH17. But I don't want to focus on the barbaric acts too much.

:14:07. > :14:10.It's so cleverly done, there are is an eye that looks up to the sky as

:14:11. > :14:15.part of those trees planted and I know you say you don't want to

:14:16. > :14:18.concentrate on those things but as well as celebrating the lives of the

:14:19. > :14:22.loved ones lost there is an investigation which continues and

:14:23. > :14:27.huge resources being poured into it by the Dutch investigators. Still so

:14:28. > :14:32.many questions unanswered? You know, there should be a lot of money

:14:33. > :14:34.poured into it, it has affected people across five continents and it

:14:35. > :14:37.seems that every turn there is someone trying to stop it from

:14:38. > :14:42.happening but we might be getting somewhere. Unfortunately I think it

:14:43. > :14:44.will take a lot of time but it's nice we are finally getting

:14:45. > :14:49.somewhere and hopefully the perpetrators will be brought to

:14:50. > :14:54.justice, we want justice, it's as simple as that and we won't give up

:14:55. > :14:58.until we get it. So many questions unanswered, which for you is the

:14:59. > :15:01.most important? For me, I want to know who pressed the button

:15:02. > :15:05.essentially and for that chain of command leads up to. I don't know

:15:06. > :15:10.for that leads to, but I doubt it was the person who pressed the

:15:11. > :15:13.button who may or may not have known what they were doing, I think the

:15:14. > :15:17.chain of command is the most important thing but we are not going

:15:18. > :15:20.to stop, we are going to make sure we get the justice that I think all

:15:21. > :15:25.of the victims deserve. Members of your family will be in the

:15:26. > :15:28.Netherlands today, will that be come Isadore Day they happen looking

:15:29. > :15:32.forward to the fact that they still don't know, as that made it more

:15:33. > :15:40.difficult in some respects? They want to do that to be there, but I

:15:41. > :15:45.imagine it doesn't feel complete. My mum is being supported by my dad,

:15:46. > :15:49.she be so upset, plus her twin brother, these days don't get

:15:50. > :15:56.easier, these anniversaries. Every Christmas, every birthday, every

:15:57. > :16:01.anniversary, so difficult each year and they say time heals but the

:16:02. > :16:07.longer it goes on, you live in this and some people forget three years

:16:08. > :16:13.on we have nothing whatsoever. It looks like a beautiful tribute and

:16:14. > :16:18.armorial, will it be software you will visit as a family, do you

:16:19. > :16:22.think? Definitely, not far away from us in the UK but I think the best

:16:23. > :16:26.thing for us, the Forest is a growing memorial, it will get more

:16:27. > :16:31.beautiful as time goes on. Hopefully it will be there for years to come

:16:32. > :16:35.so I can show my children for uncle Glenn is. You said it was something

:16:36. > :16:40.people affect it on five continents, do those families together feel more

:16:41. > :16:44.should be done or is it a case of following this investigation and

:16:45. > :16:46.hoping as you say it finds those people responsible for making that

:16:47. > :16:55.efficient to shoot down? I think more should always be done.

:16:56. > :16:59.It's many the interests of the national community that things

:17:00. > :17:03.should be done. You know, we are a big family of MH 17, the families of

:17:04. > :17:07.victims and we always stay in touch and days like these are perfect to

:17:08. > :17:13.remember them and we get together on these days. So it's a tough day.

:17:14. > :17:17.Brought together under such extraordinary and horrific

:17:18. > :17:21.circumstances as well. I remember working with him when I first

:17:22. > :17:27.started here at the BBC. How do you remember him best? Oh, God, he was

:17:28. > :17:30.just too lively to put into words. He was a brilliant person. Like you

:17:31. > :17:34.said, you've worked with him so you will know he was a great person and

:17:35. > :17:39.he'll be sorely missed by everyone today. I know a lot of people are

:17:40. > :17:43.having a quiet moment or a drink in his memory. Absolutely. Thank you

:17:44. > :17:47.for sharing those memories today and coming in. It seems stupid to say it

:17:48. > :17:51.but I hope your parents have a day they can remember for the right

:17:52. > :17:55.reasons today over in the Netherlands. Thank you very much,

:17:56. > :17:58.nice to see you again, thanks Jordan.

:17:59. > :18:00.You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:18:01. > :18:06.It's full steam ahead for HS2 as details of 16,000 jobs connected

:18:07. > :18:12.A terminally-ill man challenges the ban on assisted

:18:13. > :18:15.dying at the High Court, but could a change in the law leave

:18:16. > :18:33.We are going to go back to the Humber Bridge which looks glorious

:18:34. > :18:42.this morning. On the banks of the river, not only

:18:43. > :18:47.can you find the lovely view but Matt is there.

:18:48. > :18:51.The Humber Bridge. It took 100 years of come paining to get it built,

:18:52. > :18:57.eight years of construction and on this very day in 1981, the bridge

:18:58. > :19:03.was officially opened by the Queen. Even pore special today, it receives

:19:04. > :19:13.Grade I listed advice from Historic England. Roger Bowdler from Historic

:19:14. > :19:19.England joins me now. Grade I listed status - what does that mean and why

:19:20. > :19:24.is it so special? It's many the top 2.5% of all listed buildings in the

:19:25. > :19:27.country so it's about standing interests so any changes must

:19:28. > :19:30.respect what makes it so brilliant. Putting it on a par with the likes

:19:31. > :19:39.of Buckingham Palace and the House of Commons? It's an extremely

:19:40. > :19:45.admired thing and is in great company. All of the nine properties

:19:46. > :19:50.that were listed all in the area linked to Hull City of culture, tell

:19:51. > :19:55.us about those? We've liked working with Hull on this, it's a great city

:19:56. > :19:59.with a whole range of things from a 1920s public lavatory to the flat

:20:00. > :20:02.where Phillip Larkin used to live. It's that range and diversity that

:20:03. > :20:08.makes Hull so interesting. Fantastic. The old town has heritage

:20:09. > :20:13.status as well. What does that mean? That is us working with the city to

:20:14. > :20:16.maximise the apeople of the place, celebrate its history and bring in

:20:17. > :20:20.investment and prove lives for everyone. A brilliant day for Hull

:20:21. > :20:26.and the surrounding area? Terrific, great to be a part of it.

:20:27. > :20:34.A lovely morning as well for such an historic occasion for it. Blue skies

:20:35. > :20:35.overhead and for many others today. We have sunshine almost

:20:36. > :20:48.across-the-board but not quite everywhere. It's a very warm day

:20:49. > :20:52.ahead. We started on a cool note. Some rain around the English

:20:53. > :20:57.Channel. Across the far north and west of Scotland too, you could see

:20:58. > :21:01.a shower there. Sunshine will develop through the day in the

:21:02. > :21:05.Hebrides. We'll continue the cloud in Orkney and Shetland, bringing one

:21:06. > :21:11.or two spots of rain into the afternoon. For the majority, it's

:21:12. > :21:15.dry with strong sunshine overhead. Temperatures by this afternoon could

:21:16. > :21:18.reach around 25 to 27 in parts of eastern England. Eastern parts of

:21:19. > :21:23.Northern Ireland and into the east of Scotland, we could also hit 25.

:21:24. > :21:28.Quite widely into the 20s as far as temperatures are concerned. It's a

:21:29. > :21:32.pleasant heat today rather than the humidity of yesterday.

:21:33. > :21:39.In Orkney and Shetland, the cloud remains throughout. Tonight is dry

:21:40. > :21:44.with largely clear skies for many. A bit more cloud across the far

:21:45. > :21:47.south-west. Temperatures will drop away quickly. Big variation between

:21:48. > :21:54.day and night at the moment. That will change as we go through Tuesday

:21:55. > :21:58.night, as I'll show you. For Tuesday itself, another dry day for most.

:21:59. > :22:01.Lots of sunshine around. More cloud in western England and Wales and

:22:02. > :22:05.more breeze to south and east England. Temperatures down a little

:22:06. > :22:08.bit for you tomorrow. Warmest conditions, south-west Midlands,

:22:09. > :22:14.south-eastern parts of Wales could get close to around 28 or 29. Around

:22:15. > :22:17.the Moray Firth and Highlands of Scotland, 27 is not out of the

:22:18. > :22:21.question. We could see some lightning in the far south-west to

:22:22. > :22:26.finish the day, mainly lightning storms to begin with. As they move

:22:27. > :22:29.north, Scotland and Northern Ireland for Wednesday morning, some

:22:30. > :22:33.torrential rain storms to go with it. The north-west on Wednesday will

:22:34. > :22:38.see the most rain. Sunshine develops elsewhere. Very humid. Could get

:22:39. > :22:43.close to 30 if not above in the east. That could set off some

:22:44. > :22:48.isolated, severe storms through Wednesday afternoon. Swept out of

:22:49. > :22:52.the way into Thursday, Thursday will be a day of sunshine and a bit of

:22:53. > :22:55.rain into western Scotland and Northern Ireland and it will

:22:56. > :23:00.certainly feel fresher. A different story, top and tail of the week,

:23:01. > :23:10.warming up to start with, storms midweek and fresher to end. That is

:23:11. > :23:14.how it's looking. Back to you both. Really impressed that your

:23:15. > :23:17.companion, the swan, has stayed with you throughout the programme this

:23:18. > :23:20.morning? He certainly has. They are doing the swan count on the Thames

:23:21. > :23:31.today. Mine doesn't take me too long. Thank you very much.

:23:32. > :23:34.A survey from building society Nationwide has found that more

:23:35. > :23:42.than two thirds of people don't check whether an online competition

:23:43. > :23:48.is genuine before sharing things like their name,

:23:49. > :24:07.People are doing that a bit too easy. Nationwide says they are at

:24:08. > :24:12.risk of fraud even if they are aware of it in the first place. There is a

:24:13. > :24:16.new boss in town at ITV. They've appointed the easyJet boss as its

:24:17. > :24:21.Chief Executive, there she is, she's been there for seven year bus got

:24:22. > :24:31.another big business on her CV now. And there are reports today some

:24:32. > :24:38.references references to Winnie the Pooh have been removed from China.

:24:39. > :24:40.Some observers are saying the chubby bear has been banned

:24:41. > :24:42.because of comparisons made with the Chinese

:24:43. > :24:56.We were talking earlier about queues at Palma Airport. Mrs Donovan's got

:24:57. > :25:00.in touch saying we have just returned from Palma, passport

:25:01. > :25:04.control area dreadful, hundreds queueing, took two hours, very hot,

:25:05. > :25:09.no air conditioning, babies crying in the heat. She said we suggested

:25:10. > :25:13.get there early to avoid missing the flight and a few people have got in

:25:14. > :25:16.touch making this point, saying the problem is, there are only three

:25:17. > :25:20.passport booths open for the thousands going through, it's as if

:25:21. > :25:24.they are on strike. Keep those e-mails coming in. It seems like

:25:25. > :25:34.there is an issue at some airports across Europe. Caroline and John

:25:35. > :25:38.said Faro Airport in Portugal through June, on the way out, no

:25:39. > :25:43.problem, but the queues in passport control going back were horrendous,

:25:44. > :25:48.officials made sure we stayed in the hot and uncomfortable queues. Two

:25:49. > :25:50.hours to get through. Keep getting in touch with us.

:25:51. > :25:53.You can email us at bbcbreakfast@bbc.co.uk,

:25:54. > :26:08.or share your thoughts with other viewers on our Facebook page.

:26:09. > :26:24.We are going to be talking Dr Who. Jodie Whittaker, there she is on the

:26:25. > :26:29.front-page of the telegraph. Jodie first woman doctor kept the secret

:26:30. > :26:34.for months. Mike says everyone I know male and female said before the

:26:35. > :26:38.announcement, if the new doctor is a woman they'll not watch the show. So

:26:39. > :26:42.watch out for falling viewing figures. David says a brave

:26:43. > :26:51.refreshing change, just hope she carries on the character of the

:26:52. > :27:01.doctor. I would hate to make her stop the confrontations with the

:27:02. > :27:04.Daleks just with her make-up. Dr WHO character could be any person of any

:27:05. > :30:24.gender or whatever. Now though it's back

:30:25. > :30:26.to Louise and Dan. Hello this is Breakfast,

:30:27. > :30:35.with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. The final route for

:30:36. > :30:41.the controversial HS2 rail line north of Birmingham will be

:30:42. > :30:43.announced today - There's also more detail on who has

:30:44. > :30:51.been awarded contracts worth nearly ?7 billion to work on the first

:30:52. > :30:56.stretch of the line - including troubled

:30:57. > :30:58.construction giant, Carillion. There's also information

:30:59. > :31:00.on around 16,000 jobs. The scheme has drawn controversy

:31:01. > :31:03.from campaigners who claim it will only benefit the richest

:31:04. > :31:05.in society but the Transport Secretary said it would,

:31:06. > :31:07."drive economic growth and productivity in

:31:08. > :31:08.the North and Midlands". A terminally ill man will today

:31:09. > :31:11.begin a legal challenge to overturn the ban on so-called assisted

:31:12. > :31:14.dying. Noel Conway, who has motor neurone disease,

:31:15. > :31:16.wants to change the law in England and Wales so a doctor

:31:17. > :31:19.is allowed to help him die Under the current law,

:31:20. > :31:22.any doctor who helped him would face Opponents say the change would put

:31:23. > :31:28.vulnerable people at risk. The Brexit Secretary David Davis has

:31:29. > :31:33.called for both sides to "get down to business" this morning

:31:34. > :31:35.as the next round of negotiating takes place in Brussels.

:31:36. > :31:37.Mr Davis is meeting the European Commission's chief

:31:38. > :31:39.negotiator, Michel Barnier. Key issues will include the future

:31:40. > :31:42.rights of EU citizens in the UK and British citizens living

:31:43. > :31:50.in other member states. The rise in acid attacks will be

:31:51. > :31:53.discussed in Parliament today. The latest official figures suggest

:31:54. > :31:56.there were more than 400 assaults involving corrosive substances

:31:57. > :31:57.in England and Wales The debate comes as the Government

:31:58. > :32:04.begins a review into the issue which could see sentences

:32:05. > :32:07.for the offence increased. Yesterday, Home Secretary Amber Rudd

:32:08. > :32:09.said she wanted perpetrators The after-effects of the heatwave

:32:10. > :32:17.in Europe last week Fires have broken out in different

:32:18. > :32:21.corners of the continent. Firefighters tackled blazes

:32:22. > :32:23.on the Croatian coast, Scrubland in the mountains of Genoa,

:32:24. > :32:30.Italy, also set alight, And a fire in the north of Portugal,

:32:31. > :32:35.which had been declared as contained, spread once more -

:32:36. > :32:45.sending residents running. The Duchess of Cornwall turns 70

:32:46. > :32:48.today, and Clarence House have marked the occasion by releasing

:32:49. > :32:52.a new official portrait. The picture shows Camilla

:32:53. > :32:55.with the Prince of Wales in the morning room

:32:56. > :32:58.of their London home. It was taken by Mario Testino,

:32:59. > :33:01.who first photographed the couple on their first wedding anniversary

:33:02. > :33:20.in 2006. Now he is a bear who has brought joy

:33:21. > :33:27.to children for a century. But Chinese authorities have blocked

:33:28. > :33:32.social media mentioning Winnie the Pooh after he was compared to the

:33:33. > :33:40.Chinese president. Our correspondent has been following the story. Yes,

:33:41. > :33:46.China's sensors block images of Winnie the Pooh on social media. The

:33:47. > :33:52.reason is that some cheeky bloggers have been comparing the cute, plump

:33:53. > :33:59.cartoon character to the country's president and they have been putting

:34:00. > :34:04.up images of president ping next to Winnie the Pooh. It is not just that

:34:05. > :34:15.they won't tolerate people making fun of the leader, but they don't

:34:16. > :34:22.want Winnie the Pooh to become a way of talking about the president.

:34:23. > :34:27.People use things like rhyming slang. And the president is the

:34:28. > :34:33.latest. As the sensors block one phrase, another comes along. So it

:34:34. > :34:34.is a endless battle between the authorities and the Chinese

:34:35. > :34:37.bloggers. Victoria Derbyshire is on at 9

:34:38. > :34:42.o'clock this morning on BBC2. Let's see what's coming

:34:43. > :34:44.up on the programme. A woman whose sister and mother

:35:50. > :36:10.down with "Whovians"? Some of them are pleased I think,

:36:11. > :36:15.some not. Are you a Whovian? No, but I might start watching. I think it

:36:16. > :36:20.is a brave decision. She looked fantastic in the trailer. We

:36:21. > :36:27.shouldn't have to talk about it, but it is just a new Doctor. The guy who

:36:28. > :36:37.first commissioned Doctor Who said at the start it could be... Sydney

:36:38. > :36:44.Newman. She is owning it already is what I think. A bit like Roger

:36:45. > :36:51.Federer owning that trophy. Should we just let him have it? Eight times

:36:52. > :36:57.now. Big mantle piece. It was so emotional yesterday. There was a

:36:58. > :36:59.moment where he had won and he looked up and saw his wife and kids

:37:00. > :37:02.and lost it for a moment. Yes, Roger Federer is the Wimbledon

:37:03. > :37:05.champion for a record eighth time and he did it without really needing

:37:06. > :37:08.to break sweat against Maric Cilic. Federer won in straight sets

:37:09. > :37:11.in just one hour 41 minutes The Swiss is the first man

:37:12. > :37:15.since Bjorn Borg to win the title without dropping a set

:37:16. > :37:22.throughout the tournament. I wasn't sure if I was ever going to

:37:23. > :37:28.be here again in another finals after last year. I have had some

:37:29. > :37:33.tough ones, losing to Novak, but I always believed I could come back

:37:34. > :37:41.and do it again. If you believe, you go far in your life. I did I kept on

:37:42. > :37:42.believing and dreaming and here I am today with the eighth it is

:37:43. > :37:44.fantastic. And there was British success too

:37:45. > :37:47.on the last day of Wimbledon. Jamie Murray and former singles

:37:48. > :37:49.champion Martina Hingis beat the defending champions -

:37:50. > :37:51.Britain's Heather Watson and Finland's Henri Kontinen

:37:52. > :38:03.in straight sets. Really happy they contacted Jamie on

:38:04. > :38:07.playing together and pretty much my wish came true to give ourselves a

:38:08. > :38:15.chance to win the title and we did. It was a great two weeks for us. We

:38:16. > :38:18.played a lot of great tennis. It is a huge achievement.

:38:19. > :38:20.And Jamie Murray wasn't the only British winner.

:38:21. > :38:22.Jordanne Whiley and her Japanese partner Yui Kamiji have

:38:23. > :38:26.won their fourth successive women's wheelchairs doubles title.

:38:27. > :38:28.England's cricketers need to produce a heroic effort

:38:29. > :38:30.if they're to avoid defeat, when the second test

:38:31. > :38:32.against South Africa resumes this morning.

:38:33. > :38:35.The tourists are firmly in control after setting England a target

:38:36. > :38:41.Englands reply got off to a nervous start when Alastair Cook

:38:42. > :38:44.That decision was eventually overturned but England face

:38:45. > :38:53.an uphull task to stop South Africa levelling the series.

:38:54. > :38:59.We didn't play well, but we have the opportunity to bat well and

:39:00. > :39:03.hopefully see what we can do. You can't rule it out with our batting

:39:04. > :39:09.line up and the players that we have. We bat a long way down and the

:39:10. > :39:11.wicket is good. There is a bit of spin, but we have played spin quite

:39:12. > :39:14.well in the past. Britain's defending champion

:39:15. > :39:16.Chris Froome overcame mechanical issues to retain his 18-second lead

:39:17. > :39:18.after stage 15 of He had to change a wheel,

:39:19. > :39:23.and deal with the hostile, booing, home fans, but he recovered

:39:24. > :39:24.brilliantly, holding And he'll get to put his feet up

:39:25. > :39:32.today as it's a rest day. Back to a history-making

:39:33. > :39:34.Wimbledon now. We will be live there

:39:35. > :39:37.in just a moment. But first, let's remind ourselves

:39:38. > :39:39.of some of the best bits MUSIC: Something Just Like This

:39:40. > :40:06.by The Chainsmokers Coldplay. Physically, Andy

:40:07. > :40:30.Murray is not right. He's in the greatest

:40:31. > :40:32.form of his life. Venus Williams is back

:40:33. > :40:33.in the Wimbledon final Jamie and Martina Hingis,

:40:34. > :40:51.mixed doubles champions. This match slipping away

:40:52. > :41:06.from Venus Williams. Garbine Muguruza is

:41:07. > :41:14.the Wimbledon champion! Roger Federer takes another

:41:15. > :41:22.step towards history. The first man to win eight

:41:23. > :41:42.Championships here at Wimbledon. We can now speak to our

:41:43. > :41:54.tennis correspondent Just a peerless performance from

:41:55. > :41:57.Federer and from the start of the tournament he looked different, he

:41:58. > :42:04.looked like a winner. Give us some idea, you watch him all the time, of

:42:05. > :42:09.what he has been like to watch for you? Nobody could lay a glove on him

:42:10. > :42:16.over two weeks, despite the fact that he is 35 and took six months

:42:17. > :42:21.out and won the Australian Open in January. Here, he didn't have to

:42:22. > :42:29.play Rafael Nadal, who was beaten by Gilles Muller of Luxembourg and that

:42:30. > :42:33.is part of game. He has not dropped a single set and playing guys who

:42:34. > :42:40.are tricky opponents who, are younger than him. No man since Borg

:42:41. > :42:49.in 76 has done that. He has never looked in trouble. It was a shame

:42:50. > :42:54.that the final was an anticlimax, because of Cilic's nasty blisters.

:42:55. > :43:00.You can't take it away from him, to have won eight titles over 14 years

:43:01. > :43:05.and the scary thing is for the west of the world, if we are predicting

:43:06. > :43:10.who will win next year, he will probably be the first name on the

:43:11. > :43:14.list. Is the key he hasn't placed as much tennis as anyone else, do you

:43:15. > :43:18.think we will see this generation of players doing the same as him and

:43:19. > :43:24.actually not playing every tournament? I think once you get

:43:25. > :43:29.into your 30s, you need to be clever. Federer took the decision,

:43:30. > :43:32.because of a knee problem, quite a serious knee problem after Wimbledon

:43:33. > :43:37.last year that ewould take six months out and it has paid

:43:38. > :43:41.dividends, that is not practical for everybody. Some would feel like they

:43:42. > :43:48.lost rhythm. But it worked for him. The length of the season is the

:43:49. > :43:54.issue. If you're one of the elite players, the season is 46 weeks

:43:55. > :43:58.long. You don't need to play every week, but it gives almost no time

:43:59. > :44:02.for rest and that is a lesson, Rafael Nadal said something similar

:44:03. > :44:06.by closing down his season early last year. And Novak Djokovic and

:44:07. > :44:13.Andy Murray who have injuries, you have got to be careful if you want

:44:14. > :44:19.to prolong your career. Johanna Konta didn't go as far as she could,

:44:20. > :44:25.but it was a turning point for her, changing her rankings and brought

:44:26. > :44:31.her to the attention of British public and she could now step up to

:44:32. > :44:38.the next level. If fact she has had -- the fact she had the success in

:44:39. > :44:46.Britain made a difference. You're not going to get the same headlines

:44:47. > :44:51.in the UK when you're playing in a different time zone to play as she

:44:52. > :44:55.did is a fabulous start, given she hadn't won more than one match at

:44:56. > :45:02.Wimbledon. She is the new world No 4. You don't do that by just a good

:45:03. > :45:08.run at Wimbledon. She has been consis tebt and hard courts are her

:45:09. > :45:17.best surface and she could end the year as world No 1. She said that

:45:18. > :45:22.was her goal, we talk about tournament and get interested in

:45:23. > :45:25.Wimbledon, but she wanted that nocht 1 ranking. We have to talk about

:45:26. > :45:32.Andy Murray and that hip. What is next for him?

:45:33. > :45:39.I think he is weighing up his options and his team are keeping

:45:40. > :45:43.their cards close to their chest. Surgery is an option, considering it

:45:44. > :45:45.is a serious problem, but I have heard no official talk that is the

:45:46. > :45:51.root they're going to go down. Will a period of rest by enough to make

:45:52. > :45:55.the problem disappear? US Open starts in just six weeks, you'd

:45:56. > :45:58.think Andy Murray would need to play at least one event before that to

:45:59. > :46:02.get in the sort of shape required. There has to be a huge question mark

:46:03. > :46:08.as to whether he will be at the US Open. It would be a huge blow to him

:46:09. > :46:11.to miss that, but if it enabled him to rest his hip and prepare

:46:12. > :46:17.thoroughly for the start of 2018, to go into next year fully fit, at the

:46:18. > :46:20.age of just 30 he could have at least two really, really strong

:46:21. > :46:25.years in front of him. That's the dilemma he is wrestling with at the

:46:26. > :46:29.moment. Rosol, it is wonderful to see you in that glorious, gorgeous

:46:30. > :46:34.place. Lovely to talk to you. It is nice to talk to somebody at

:46:35. > :46:42.Wimbledon. We have enjoyed watching you there! Carol has been there for

:46:43. > :46:45.what feels like decades! What price would you put on Roger Federer for

:46:46. > :46:50.overseas sports personality of the year? He's got a decent shout. He

:46:51. > :46:54.has one might it three times so far. But I can tell you, we have an

:46:55. > :47:02.exclusive announcement coming fight now... Drum roll! -- coming right

:47:03. > :47:11.now. The sports personality of this year will be held in Liverpool! It

:47:12. > :47:17.was there in nine years ago. At the Echo Arena, this December, Mark your

:47:18. > :47:21.calendar. Will we see Roger Federer turning up for sports personality of

:47:22. > :47:25.the year? He might be having a rest. Tennis players are busy at that time

:47:26. > :47:31.of year, he's had quite a busy time of it.

:47:32. > :47:45.We have got two balls each... That have a quick... Oh, shame! Finally,

:47:46. > :47:52.we've done it! Two between ours. Oh, no, not quite. One each! When

:47:53. > :48:00.everybody else was doing it it was a lot further away! It doesn't matter!

:48:01. > :48:08.They also have proper tennis balls, we have soft ones in the studio. It

:48:09. > :48:13.is the Open this week, Gary Player is 81 years old, this is an

:48:14. > :48:18.81-year-old, he is not going to backflip, is he?! Yes, he is! He

:48:19. > :48:25.doesn't land perfectly, but he is 81! Look at that! Isn't it Gary

:48:26. > :48:30.Player who does hundreds of sit-ups? The key to his fitness? I once had a

:48:31. > :48:33.set up competition against him and he absolutely murdered me coming he

:48:34. > :48:40.does 1000 every day at the age of 81. And he also has a massive

:48:41. > :48:44.breakfast, nuts and seeds and yoghurt and blue breeks. You need to

:48:45. > :48:50.write this down, I need to know about this! -- blueberries. You will

:48:51. > :48:57.be doing backflips at 81 as well! What we do with the mug, will go

:48:58. > :49:02.away now?! We might have our coffee in it! That would be perfect.

:49:03. > :49:07.That's might get some weather this morning. I don't know what it's like

:49:08. > :49:11.outside your window this morning, but have a look at the start Mac

:49:12. > :49:18.that is the Humber bridge in the background. Somewhere on the banks

:49:19. > :49:21.of the Humber, Matt has the weather. Good morning, everyone. It will be a

:49:22. > :49:26.similar view for everybody, minus the bridge, obviously. It is exactly

:49:27. > :49:31.36 years since it was opened by the Queen and it was given a grade one

:49:32. > :49:36.listed status, putting it on par with Buckingham Palace and also the

:49:37. > :49:40.houses of commons. But it wasn't quite an easy feat to get to it,

:49:41. > :49:46.because the bridge took 100 years of campaigning to get built. It finally

:49:47. > :49:54.got approval in 1959, and it wasn't until 1973 when construction began.

:49:55. > :49:58.At the time, it was the longest single span suspension bridge,

:49:59. > :50:02.because of the way that the humble works, it is a tidal estuary with a

:50:03. > :50:06.shifting bed and it is a navigable river. Any sort of pillar in the

:50:07. > :50:11.middle of that river would have hampered any navigation up and down.

:50:12. > :50:16.A massive feat of engineering and a glorious sight, great news for it

:50:17. > :50:21.today. As you can see, blue skies overhead. It is a blue sky day in

:50:22. > :50:27.the rest of the UK as well. Pretty hot not just here but it has been

:50:28. > :50:31.over the past few weeks across some parts of Europe. We have seen

:50:32. > :50:35.temperatures reach record-breaking values in parts of southern Europe,

:50:36. > :50:39.temperatures up to 40 degrees. Some of that warmth will come towards us

:50:40. > :50:44.in the next 36 hours. Today is a fresh start compelled with the

:50:45. > :50:49.weekend, but lots of sunshine of the head, warming up rapidly. Patchy

:50:50. > :50:53.cloud in the north-west of Scotland. Cloud in the Midlands will break up.

:50:54. > :50:58.Cloud in the English Channel towards the south-west and Wales. Just note

:50:59. > :51:01.the temperatures, Winston Reid light, very strong sunshine

:51:02. > :51:06.overhead, bear that in mind if you were out for any length of time. --

:51:07. > :51:13.wind Sir Lee like. Temperatures into the 20s widely. 25 in eastern

:51:14. > :51:16.Northern Ireland and eastern parts of Scotland, a bit cooler in Orkney

:51:17. > :51:21.and Checkland where we continue with cloudy conditions into the

:51:22. > :51:25.afternoon. As we finished the day, it finishes dry with clear skies.

:51:26. > :51:29.Tonight it will be drier across-the-board. There will be some

:51:30. > :51:32.cloud towards the south-west of the country, and cloud in the far North

:51:33. > :51:37.of Scotland. Under clear skies, mist and fog may form, temperatures

:51:38. > :51:42.dropping a bit, a contrast from day to night at the moment. It is going

:51:43. > :51:46.to be even warmer tomorrow. A few. There will be cloud in the West,

:51:47. > :51:51.sunny spells breaking through, breeze in the south and east. For

:51:52. > :51:54.you it might just be a touch cooler compared with what we are seeing

:51:55. > :51:59.today. The warmest weather likely to be across the western parts of the

:52:00. > :52:07.Midlands into East Wales. 27-28d, maybe 29 deg is possible. Notice we

:52:08. > :52:10.will have some lightning storms to finish Tuesday across the

:52:11. > :52:14.south-west. Mainly lightning, not a huge amount of rain, but as they

:52:15. > :52:18.pushed their way north, torrential rain storms into Wednesday,

:52:19. > :52:22.particularly across the north-west. Brighter skies for a time but with

:52:23. > :52:25.very humid air in place, it could get close to 30 so obvious in

:52:26. > :52:30.eastern England, setting off some isolated severe storms across

:52:31. > :52:33.England and Wales. Picking up where they are going to be is a bit

:52:34. > :52:37.uncertain and difficult. Keep checking the forecast of the next

:52:38. > :52:42.day or so. Either way, they will be out of the way by Thursday. Fresh

:52:43. > :52:46.air for just about all of us. There will be some rain in Scotland and

:52:47. > :52:50.Northern Ireland. Not quite as one to end the week as we start the

:52:51. > :52:54.week, but the peak will come Tuesday into Wednesday -- not quite as warm.

:52:55. > :52:58.That is how it's looking from this glorious sight. Goodbye from me, and

:52:59. > :53:03.back to you both in the studio. Where is this one, is it still with

:53:04. > :53:10.you? This one is gone! Oh, what a shame, thank you so much! We will

:53:11. > :53:12.see Matt later on in the week as well.

:53:13. > :53:14.It's more than 1,000 years since the lynx

:53:15. > :53:17.became extinct in the UK, but campaigners hope a decision

:53:18. > :53:19.later today could change that. An application being considered

:53:20. > :53:21.by Natural England could see them released into Kielder Forest

:53:22. > :53:24.But the return of a major predator is worrying farmers.

:53:25. > :53:27.Breakfast's Graham Satchell has got all the details.

:53:28. > :53:32.The last lynx in Britain was killed for its fur 1,300 years ago.

:53:33. > :53:34.The application going in to Natural England today

:53:35. > :53:38.Between six and ten wild lynx released into Kielder Forest

:53:39. > :53:43.This is a huge conservation milestone.

:53:44. > :53:46.This is the first licence ever submitted to reintroduce lynx

:53:47. > :53:55.This is a life-sized cutout of a lynx, so that's actually

:53:56. > :53:58.how big a real lynx is, so they aren't that big,

:53:59. > :54:02.Paul O'Donoghue from the Lynx Trust has been doing a consultation,

:54:03. > :54:04.talking, listening and explaining and the children at Kielder First

:54:05. > :54:20.So lynx live all over the world, and in human history, a healthy

:54:21. > :54:22.wild lynx has never, ever, ever attacked a human

:54:23. > :54:25.There's a genuine excitement here and enthusiasm

:54:26. > :54:29.They do look really nice and it's good that they don't hurt

:54:30. > :54:37.They might not hurt people, but lynx are expert hunters.

:54:38. > :54:49.Deer eat out the understory, they overgrazed, and if you see now

:54:50. > :54:54.there's very little understory around, so there's not really many

:54:55. > :54:57.places for small mammals and birds to nest, so lynx are needed

:54:58. > :54:59.to control that balance, to balance the ecosystem.

:55:00. > :55:02.Not according to sheep farmers, who say deer are not a problem

:55:03. > :55:07.I think it's absolutely a stupid idea for a predator that's not been

:55:08. > :55:14.in this country for 1,000 years to be released where it's going

:55:15. > :55:21.As far as I'm concerned, the lynx will go for the easy target,

:55:22. > :55:26.Farmers would be compensated for any livestock lost,

:55:27. > :55:37.but they are strongly against the issuing of a licence.

:55:38. > :55:40.There's got to be a legal case taken against them, because to release

:55:41. > :55:42.a dangerous animal onto private land, that can't possibly be right.

:55:43. > :55:46.I can understand the farmers being nervous...

:55:47. > :55:50.In the local pub, Mike Brown is thinking about his business.

:55:51. > :55:52.One estimate suggests the lynx could bring around ?30 million

:55:53. > :55:59.It is the most remote village in England, so we need as many

:56:00. > :56:04.We rely on tourist trade, that's 99% of the trade

:56:05. > :56:14.Will Kielder Forest become the land of the lynx?

:56:15. > :56:17.The decision is now in the hands of Natural England, but if they say

:56:18. > :56:20.yes, experts predict there could eventually

:56:21. > :56:22.be as many as 400 lynx in forests around the UK.

:56:23. > :56:30.Graham Satchell, BBC News, Kielder Forest.

:56:31. > :56:39.And the links of course would be very happy in Game of Thrones! Wind

:56:40. > :56:43.the? I'm sure there has been won in Doctor Who over the years as well.

:56:44. > :56:44.That will be a point for discussion a bit later on in the programme.

:56:45. > :56:48.Game of We've been talking all morning

:56:49. > :56:51.about the fact that the first female Time Lord has been announced

:56:52. > :56:53.for Doctor Who, but another huge series, Game of Thrones,

:56:54. > :56:56.has no shortage of strong women. One of them is the Iron-born

:56:57. > :56:58.warrior Yara Greyjoy. Before we speak to Gemma Whelan,

:56:59. > :57:05.who plays her, let's take some of you may have been up since

:57:06. > :57:06.2am watching episode one of series seven.

:57:07. > :57:08.We've never made our mark upon the world.

:57:09. > :57:10.The great lords of Westeros pay us no mind.

:57:11. > :57:13.Until our little raids buzz through their kingdoms long enough

:57:14. > :57:15.to become a nuisance, then they swat us down.

:57:16. > :57:23.And go right back to forgetting we exist.

:57:24. > :57:37.When I am Queen, we will build a fleet...

:57:38. > :57:53.Oh, authority under threat! That was some series six, we are now down to

:57:54. > :57:57.series seven. You were a smaller character in the build-up to this,

:57:58. > :58:02.but what can you tell us to series seven? Do you develop into one of

:58:03. > :58:05.the main beasts of the show? I can tell you nothing! But I can tell you

:58:06. > :58:08.it's very exciting what happens to you are in this next series, but I

:58:09. > :58:15.can't tell you anything more. Thank you very much for coming on! Don't

:58:16. > :58:18.swirl it for me! There will be people who love the show -- don't

:58:19. > :58:26.spoil it for me. People will have got up at 2am to watch the latest

:58:27. > :58:31.episode. Did you? No! She gets up about an hour after that! What is it

:58:32. > :58:36.like to be involved in a show like that, it must take over your life?

:58:37. > :58:39.It's incredible to be part of it. The production values are so high

:58:40. > :58:44.and they spend so long on every single scene just shooting so much

:58:45. > :58:47.of it, every angle, every kind of possibility for the scene, they

:58:48. > :58:52.shoot the proverbial out of it, if you will. There is so much toys for

:58:53. > :59:00.them in the edit. And they get it just right, the precision of it.

:59:01. > :59:03.You'll be asked to doing something by a director, and of course you

:59:04. > :59:06.trust them, then you see exactly how it cuts together and why you asked

:59:07. > :59:08.to do certain things. It's so exciting to be part of it and

:59:09. > :59:11.everybody cares so much about the show, it's great. And now you love

:59:12. > :59:14.it and you are enthused about it. When you first got the part, you

:59:15. > :59:17.didn't know much about it at all. Is it true that you nearly lost the

:59:18. > :59:22.job, can you explain Brazil and I hope I never nearly lost job but I

:59:23. > :59:26.was certainly pulled up on it. I was very proud of the fact that I had

:59:27. > :59:36.been cast so I put it on my Spotlight Stevie thinking that it

:59:37. > :59:40.was good -- on my CV. People look for those sort of updates, I wasn't

:59:41. > :59:45.told the quiet about it. In hindsight I say, what was I

:59:46. > :59:50.thinking, because we are so embargoed on everything. So you were

:59:51. > :59:58.holding? Hall is a bit strong, the producers. He sat me down and said,

:59:59. > :00:04.that's not what we do around here! But I was just so excited. I mean,

:00:05. > :00:10.you obviously clearly won't tell us anything about this series. And you

:00:11. > :00:13.haven't even told your husband? No, I haven't told him anything. I would

:00:14. > :00:17.also venture that he's not that interested. He very much keeps my

:00:18. > :00:21.feet on the ground. But he doesn't know a thing. If I did tell him, she

:00:22. > :00:22.would forget it. I sometimes practice my lines with him. He makes

:00:23. > :00:32.a very good Daenerys! What are the Game of Thrones fans

:00:33. > :00:38.like, have you met many in the street. Is it that the same level of

:00:39. > :00:45.obsession as Doctor Who? Yes, there is so much love and enthusiasm and

:00:46. > :00:50.sort of predictions of what they think will happen to your character

:00:51. > :00:53.and they try to get spoilers. But I rarely get recognised. There was a

:00:54. > :00:57.couple of people outside this morning and we had a nice chat about

:00:58. > :01:04.whether they stayed up. There is always so much love for the show. It

:01:05. > :01:11.is rare to come across nastiness. Were they in full battle dress? Yes,

:01:12. > :01:18.in full dress. We have been talking about Doctor Who and of course the

:01:19. > :01:23.doctor will be played by a woman. I think it is brilliant. I understand

:01:24. > :01:28.people have their sort of... Strong faithful it should be a man. The

:01:29. > :01:34.doctor is a perfect person to be able to change into a woman or a man

:01:35. > :01:40.or whatever. Let's have a dog next time. Woah. Oh, no the internet

:01:41. > :01:45.broke. But there is no reason why it shouldn't be, it should be just a

:01:46. > :01:52.fantastic actor, not oh it is a first woman. There is no shortage of

:01:53. > :01:57.female leads in Game of Thrones. That's right, we are taking over.

:01:58. > :02:03.You have famous women on your dress. It is an accident, but it is a happy

:02:04. > :02:10.accident. Talking of great actors, many have seen you in Horrible

:02:11. > :02:14.Histories and you played Karen Matthews in a drama that got such a

:02:15. > :02:20.huge response and a very different role to what we have been talking

:02:21. > :02:27.about, but here are some pictures from the set of Moorside. That must

:02:28. > :02:33.have been, so many people remember that case clearly, playing that. I

:02:34. > :02:40.was so thrilled to be cast in that, to even be considered for the part.

:02:41. > :02:48.The team of course have won BAFTAs for their crime dramas and so it was

:02:49. > :02:51.in safe hands and it was so, the script was so, they went over and

:02:52. > :02:56.over it to make it as close to the version of truth they wanted to

:02:57. > :03:02.tell. Still people don't know the whole truth of wh happened. But it

:03:03. > :03:07.with Tuz most accurate thing they managed to find out through a great

:03:08. > :03:13.deal of hard work and they pulled off something extraordinary in

:03:14. > :03:17.making it so, it was just... They honoured everybody involved I think.

:03:18. > :03:21.It is interesting, because having followed the story at the time and

:03:22. > :03:25.reported on it. Karen Matthews, there was so much footage of her,

:03:26. > :03:30.did you watch a lot of that before you played her? Yes, I watched

:03:31. > :03:36.everything that was available. They were great at providing reseven

:03:37. > :03:40.material and I -- research material and I tried to get as involved as I

:03:41. > :03:47.could in the case. I was interested in it when it happened as well. So

:03:48. > :03:51.yeah, I just, and then I was, obviously Paul the director was

:03:52. > :03:59.pivotal in getting me to the point I needed to in certain scenes to be

:04:00. > :04:03.surrounded by those amazing actors. But yeah I was privileged and very

:04:04. > :04:08.happy to be part of such a programme that was so well received. Because

:04:09. > :04:14.it could have gone ther way. Can I ask a personal question? Yes. You

:04:15. > :04:20.are with child I believe. You might have said I'm not! With regards to

:04:21. > :04:29.filming Game of Thrones, have you had to... Work that in? No, I

:04:30. > :04:32.haven't. Not so far. Ooh. It is a very physical role and you had to

:04:33. > :04:43.learn thousand ride a horse? Yes and how to fight. I love it. She is

:04:44. > :04:51.still not going to say. Do you die? LAUGHTER. With all do eventually.

:04:52. > :04:56.That is very true. Thank you. Full marks for trying. I have never been

:04:57. > :05:01.asked that. I nearly said something. Sometimes you can dance around it.

:05:02. > :05:08.It nearly came out. OK. Not the baby. I was going to say, have you

:05:09. > :05:15.got a towel? Thank you very much. Game of Thrones starts tonight on

:05:16. > :05:23.Sky Atlantic. You can see Gemma in that. For how long, who knows? We

:05:24. > :05:28.are none the clearer. So the wait is over and we know who will be the new

:05:29. > :05:30.Doctor Who. We will talk about in a moment. First a lack look at the

:05:31. > :07:24.headlines where you're watching. Hello and welcome back. We have done

:07:25. > :07:36.Game of Thrones, let's do Doctor Who. Shall we ask, do you die? Every

:07:37. > :07:38.guest now. It is all over the front-pages, Jody Whittaker is the

:07:39. > :07:40.new Doctor. The Doctor travels through space

:07:41. > :07:42.and time in a converted blue police box, larger

:07:43. > :07:44.on the inside than The owner of two hearts

:07:45. > :07:48.and a sonic screwdriver, the Time Lord battles aliens

:07:49. > :07:50.to save the world. So why is it such a leap of faith

:07:51. > :07:53.to imagine the character The news that Jodie Whittaker

:07:54. > :07:57.is to take on the role Here is a reminder of

:07:58. > :08:15.the moment she was revealed. That looks like a woman's

:08:16. > :08:17.feet, small feet. I'm not going to be

:08:18. > :08:25.surprised if it's a woman. I'm shocked still,

:08:26. > :08:56.what a good choice. For me as a girl, this is something

:08:57. > :09:00.I never thought was possible. There is always doubts

:09:01. > :09:02.when it's a new doctor and if it's a brilliant actor,

:09:03. > :09:05.it's a brilliant part, it is a brilliant actor,

:09:06. > :09:07.Jody Whittaker's a brilliant actor, But what's interesting is it's

:09:08. > :09:24.going to be very different. Mirror journalist Daniel Jackson

:09:25. > :09:40.is a Doctor Who fan, and joins Are you official lay Whovian? Yes I

:09:41. > :09:45.got teased for being one. Are are you on the scale. About a woman Time

:09:46. > :09:52.Lord, absolutely on board. It has been 54 years, I think we can take

:09:53. > :09:56.this bold new step, can't we? Is that it bold. A lot of people have

:09:57. > :10:01.been contacting us and a few people are saying they won't watch Doctor

:10:02. > :10:06.Who because they feel it is an unnecessary PC step for them in the

:10:07. > :10:11.wrong direction. I have been watching Twitter explode and it is

:10:12. > :10:17.exactly that. A large number of the fans are excited, Jody Whittaker's a

:10:18. > :10:21.great choice. Others will say I will wait and see what she is like. But

:10:22. > :10:27.you have a minority that say I'm going to boycott it. It is not the

:10:28. > :10:35.choice of Jody, it is the fact that it is a woman. It could be any

:10:36. > :10:40.woman. It worries me, if your love for the show is so strong, how is it

:10:41. > :10:46.so fragile that putting in a woman is enough to make you boycott it.

:10:47. > :10:50.These are good questions, it seems extraordinary in this, to even have

:10:51. > :10:58.this discussion. It is a fictional character. Does it matter? Nothing

:10:59. > :11:01.will change at the heart of Doctor Who, time travel, adventures,

:11:02. > :11:06.nothing changes because it is a woman at the heart of it. There may

:11:07. > :11:12.be some playful nods to it and an opportunity to have a bit of every

:11:13. > :11:19.day sexism, but it is still the Doctor. Many people have seen her in

:11:20. > :11:23.a number of things, perhaps most famously in Broad church, she was

:11:24. > :11:27.working with the writer and he will be the new writer of Doctor Who as

:11:28. > :11:34.well. So familiar ground. But an opportunity to take it somewhere

:11:35. > :11:43.different do you think? I think Chris will put his own stamp on it.

:11:44. > :11:48.Back when Russell T Davies ran it, she had relationships with David

:11:49. > :11:55.tenant. It is nice there is going to be some short hand and some trust

:11:56. > :12:00.there. Chris is chosen to put a woman into the role and he has

:12:01. > :12:05.chosen Whittaker for a special reason. She must have wowed in the

:12:06. > :12:14.auditions. What has been wonderful to watch over the years is how

:12:15. > :12:17.different each of the Doctors are. You showing the regeneration, one of

:12:18. > :12:22.the lines that the ninth doctor said, I might have two heads or no

:12:23. > :12:30.head. I don't understand why it is a problem to have a female head. What

:12:31. > :12:34.about a male companion, because the companions change regularly. It is

:12:35. > :12:37.important if there is a companion or companions that the story they want

:12:38. > :12:42.to tell is the most important thing. I don't think just because we have a

:12:43. > :12:49.female doctor we have to balance it out necessarily. But some would say

:12:50. > :12:58.it is fair play to have hunky young men running around and falling in

:12:59. > :13:03.gravel quarries. Gravel quarries? It is a very 70s thing. People have

:13:04. > :13:10.said the talk of the 13th doctor. It is actually 14th. 15th. They mention

:13:11. > :13:20.John Hurt. The war doctor. Yes he was a legend in that episode. Why

:13:21. > :13:29.15th. Within the myth of the show different tenants doctor regenerated

:13:30. > :13:34.back into David's doctor. I'm happy to call her the 13th Doctor. And

:13:35. > :13:36.leave it there. Thank you for joining us.

:13:37. > :13:41.But now on BBC One, it's time for Right on the Money,

:13:42. > :13:42.with Dominic Littlewood and Denise Lewis.
