:01:09. > :01:11.Price pressures are piling up, and the pound in our pocket isn't
:01:12. > :01:14.going as far, So ahead of official figures this morning,

:01:50. > :01:52.after a hot and sunny one. I will have all the details in 15 minutes.
:01:53. > :01:57.Improvements in life expectancy in England are levelling off
:01:58. > :02:00.for the first time in a century, according to a leading health
:02:01. > :02:03.Professor Sir Michael Marmot, from University College London,
:02:04. > :02:06.says the rate of increase has almost "ground to a halt" since 2010.

:02:21. > :02:29.Life expectancy has been rising for the last century but now a leading
:02:30. > :02:34.health expert is raising concerns it could be tailing off. Sir Michael
:02:35. > :02:39.Marmot points at the rate of increase being halved since 2010.
:02:40. > :02:43.Historically, life expectancy at birth has risen by one year for
:02:44. > :02:49.every five years for women and one year every 3.5 for men. Since 2010,
:02:50. > :02:54.however, that has slowed to one year for every ten for women and one for
:02:55. > :02:59.every six for men. Sir Michael says the situation needs to be urgently
:03:00. > :03:06.looked at. This is historically highly unusual because over a long
:03:07. > :03:11.period of time, for 100 years, life expectancy has been improving, year
:03:12. > :03:16.on year. In Britain as it has in many, many, many, many other
:03:17. > :03:21.countries. And now it has slowed, it is almost flat. Which means that we
:03:22. > :03:26.have fallen behind some of the healthier countries. That's
:03:27. > :03:30.terrible. He says it's not possible to say exactly what caused it but he
:03:31. > :03:35.says austerity could be a factor and funding the NHS and social credit in
:03:36. > :03:39.particular had been miserly -- social care. Dementia may have also
:03:40. > :03:43.played a role. The Department of Health say it is providing funding

:04:07. > :04:09.The Cabinet meets later and Mrs May is likely to give them
:04:10. > :04:23.A few might have their heads to the floor. There have been reports of
:04:24. > :04:36.briefings, gossip, leaks from the very highest level of government
:04:37. > :04:40.around the government table. She is trained to lead a party which is
:04:41. > :04:44.divided on some key issues like Brexit. Put the two together and you
:04:45. > :04:47.get lots of jostling. Lots of positioning. Not least from some of
:04:48. > :04:51.those who might have half an eye on what happens when Theresa May is no
:04:52. > :04:55.longer the party leader. Now aware of all this, the Prime Minister who
:04:56. > :04:59.was at a reception of all this on the House of Commons last night when
:05:00. > :05:03.she reportedly said to her MPs, no more backbiting, go away, have a
:05:04. > :05:06.good break for the summer and come back ready to do some serious
:05:07. > :05:10.business in Westminster in the autumn. And we think she will set of
:05:11. > :05:13.the similar when her Cabinet meets this morning, reminding them of the
:05:14. > :05:17.need to keep their conversations private. This is an attempt to
:05:18. > :05:23.restore some discipline, some party unity, in public at least. Thank you
:05:24. > :05:27.very much. We shall be speaking to the Home Secretary Amber Rudd about
:05:28. > :05:27.that a little later in the programme.
:05:28. > :05:30.The cost of insuring a car has risen to its highest ever level.
:05:31. > :05:33.The Association of British Insurers says the price

:06:14. > :06:19.Without good reason, it is illegal to carry anything
:06:20. > :06:27.But this is what police have found in London,
:06:28. > :06:33.including a so-called zombie knife, shown to the Home Secretary.
:06:34. > :06:39.It is illegal to buy a knife if you are under 18,
:06:40. > :06:43.But some young people are getting them delivered.
:06:44. > :06:47.The plan is to change the law so knives purchased have to be
:06:48. > :06:53.Some types of knives cannot even be sold.
:06:54. > :07:00.Police may even get powers to seize them.
:07:01. > :07:02.We need to give more powers to the police,
:07:03. > :07:14.to break the cycle of danger and violence in communities.
:07:15. > :07:17.After all, police report knife crime has started rising.

:07:44. > :07:53.NHS England says the drug is too expensive and there's no evidence
:07:54. > :07:57.But if the challenge is successful, in future, funding decisions

:08:06. > :08:09.Donald Trump made repealing Obamacare a key election campaign
:08:10. > :08:12.pledge, and he delayed Congress's summer holiday
:08:13. > :08:14.until the legislation was overturned.

:08:56. > :09:12.To have one organisation amongst so many now saying, "You were to

:09:20. > :09:25.the only parents with children in this situation. --I am sure we are
:09:26. > :09:27.not the only parents with children in this situation. It is difficult

:14:25. > :14:27.Jane Austen, who spent much of her life in Hampshire,
:14:28. > :14:30.and it didn't take much Persuasion to convince Matt to head
:14:31. > :14:41.there for us this morning. Good morning. We have come inside
:14:42. > :14:45.the house now and we are in the dining room. This of course is Jane
:14:46. > :14:48.Austen's former home, where she spent the last eight years of her
:14:49. > :14:53.life finishing and also writing some of her most famous works, on this
:14:54. > :14:57.very table. If you think that writing table is small, you are not
:14:58. > :15:01.mistaken. She didn't have much in the way of papers or any parchment
:15:02. > :15:06.around at the time but it is exactly 200 years since her death and today
:15:07. > :15:10.the Royal Mint are releasing a special ?2 coin, and I am lucky
:15:11. > :15:16.enough to have it with me, showing the portrait of her head on it. That
:15:17. > :15:20.will be in limited circulation from today at eight locations in and
:15:21. > :15:24.around this area, and then it will come out later on to the general
:15:25. > :15:31.public. Also today, the Bank of England will be unveiling the new
:15:32. > :15:34.?10 note with Jane Austen on it, she will be replacing Charles Darwin.
:15:35. > :15:38.But it is an amazing location here. If we take a look at the weather, we
:15:39. > :15:42.don't really need to be sheltered from it today because it is already
:15:43. > :15:47.warm out there and a warm day in store for much of the UK. They will
:15:48. > :15:50.be thunderstorms developing across the South later. Storms rumbling
:15:51. > :15:54.away across northern France and over the next few hours they will push
:15:55. > :15:57.their way towards the Channel Islands. Eventually by the start of
:15:58. > :16:01.the afternoon, maybe mid-afternoon, reaching the far south-west of
:16:02. > :16:05.England. For the rest of your cracking day in store. Early mist
:16:06. > :16:09.and fog patches clearing and then a dry and sunny day with a good deal
:16:10. > :16:15.of sunshine. Strong sunshine around. Across in the far north of Scotland,
:16:16. > :16:18.Shetland has a bit more cloud Berlot righter than it was yesterday and
:16:19. > :16:21.across western and northern Scotland we could see temperatures of 25 to
:16:22. > :16:25.27 through the afternoon. Further south, lots of sunshine per northern
:16:26. > :16:29.England but always a bit more cloud than what we saw during yesterday.
:16:30. > :16:33.Turning the sunshine a bit hazy in places. Most places will be dry, but
:16:34. > :16:36.later on we will start to see those storms pushing into the south.
:16:37. > :16:41.Northern Ireland, a sunny and hot one, highs of 21 degrees. A bit more
:16:42. > :16:47.breeze across eastern areas, a cooler David yesterday, but it is in
:16:48. > :16:50.the west where we will see the real heat peak. 27 to 29 Celsius across
:16:51. > :16:55.some parts of western England and into the south-west of Wales. --
:16:56. > :16:59.south-east of Wales. Isolated, sporadic storm starting to break
:17:00. > :17:02.their way through. Those storms will gradually push their weight
:17:03. > :17:06.northwards as they go through the night. They will be very much hit
:17:07. > :17:09.mist, affecting mainly parts of England and Wales, pushing
:17:10. > :17:12.northwards towards northern England and the Midlands by the end of the
:17:13. > :17:16.night. Lightning storms to begin with, and some big downpours to go
:17:17. > :17:21.with them. Hale and gusty winds mixed in as well. Hit and miss, some
:17:22. > :17:25.will stay dry. A humid night across much of the UK and into tomorrow
:17:26. > :17:28.those storms will push their weight northwards across parts of Northern
:17:29. > :17:31.Ireland and Scotland through the morning. Brightening up for England
:17:32. > :17:43.and Wales with some sunshine around, low cloud towards the south-west but
:17:44. > :17:46.as temperatures peak through Wednesday afternoon, 30 Celsius in
:17:47. > :17:49.the east. We could see some more intense thunderstorms develop.
:17:50. > :17:52.Exactly where they are going to be open to a little bit of uncertainty.
:17:53. > :17:55.They will gradually clear away through Thursday and something
:17:56. > :17:59.brighter and thicker will emerge in the west. And we will look around
:18:00. > :18:08.the house, I know, a little bit later. That is a Jane Austen's fan's
:18:09. > :18:13.perfect place. You can spot all the various nods towards her and her
:18:14. > :18:18.work throughout the morning. The front page of the Times, Prince
:18:19. > :18:25.George makes most of the papers and we will be talking about Theresa
:18:26. > :18:27.May. I think possibly an awkward meeting last night. Theresa May
:18:28. > :18:32.being urged by Cabinet ministers to sack as they call it testosterone
:18:33. > :18:38.fuelled donkeys. Also this story is interesting, about life expectancy,
:18:39. > :18:42.increases in life expectancy are grinding to a halt. We will be
:18:43. > :18:50.asking why that matters and what it means. Prince George also on the
:18:51. > :18:56.front page of the Mirror, his Royal Shyness. Sara Payne's mother will be
:18:57. > :19:03.on the programme around 9am this morning, talking about her daughter,
:19:04. > :19:08.who would be 25 now if she was still with us. That is the front page of
:19:09. > :19:12.the Daily Mirror this morning. The Guardian are talking about schools,
:19:13. > :19:19.and this is in the papers. It is unusual for the Guardian to carry a
:19:20. > :19:30.picture of Ed Sheeran, he had a cameo in Game of Thrones. It wasn't
:19:31. > :19:34.for very long, it was a ten second scene. People complain about
:19:35. > :19:40.everything. And he looks the part, doesn't he? The Daily Express, a
:19:41. > :19:44.diet to beat Alzheimer's. Healthy foods will boost your brain and
:19:45. > :19:54.again its George with his bottom lip out, making most of the papers. Big
:19:55. > :19:59.moves in the business world. Philip Green runs Top Shop, which is part
:20:00. > :20:07.of Arcadia, which is part of his family business which runs all of
:20:08. > :20:12.those things -- Topshop. And Karen Brady has been appointed to chair
:20:13. > :20:16.his entire empire. Karen Brady's new job is effectively to oversee the
:20:17. > :20:20.business as chairman. Corporate governance has been a big issue in
:20:21. > :20:26.Philip Green's businesses, especially BHS, for a while. So she
:20:27. > :20:31.is now in charge. And the car rental company with a ?30 million pay-out
:20:32. > :20:36.over repairs. It was bubbling around a little bit yesterday. Europe Car
:20:37. > :20:44.might have to pay compensation for overcharging people when repairs are
:20:45. > :20:52.done. I have had to pay... As soon as you pick up the car take a video
:20:53. > :20:57.from every angle -- Europcar. And they may have to pay everybody back
:20:58. > :21:01.who was overpaid. Well, ?30 million is not everybody who has ever paid
:21:02. > :21:05.but they think the total cost will come to that. You look at any
:21:06. > :21:08.compensation claim, as we have talked about in the past, it can
:21:09. > :21:12.increase as investigations go on. That could be worth keeping an eye
:21:13. > :21:17.out for if you have had any issues. Who would want to be England cricket
:21:18. > :21:22.captain? What a job! It is a tough job. The back page of the Times has
:21:23. > :21:25.a picture of Joe Root after a terrible defeat for England
:21:26. > :21:28.yesterday, and he is facing up to the realities of life as England
:21:29. > :21:32.captain, and what do you have to do as England captain? Score runs, keep
:21:33. > :21:38.your head in the game and not get distracted. That is the challenge.
:21:39. > :21:45.Very quickly, this is my favourite picture today. Arsenal are on tour
:21:46. > :21:49.in China. Can we see that? Trying out martial arts in Shanghai
:21:50. > :21:57.yesterday at the launch of their tour, in fantastic kind of silky
:21:58. > :22:02.pyjamas. We haven't got much time left, so will quickly move on. The

:22:56. > :22:57.see more. You are watching
:22:58. > :23:00.Breakfast from BBC News. Almost ?20 million has been
:23:01. > :23:02.raised for the victims of the Grenfell Tower fire,
:23:03. > :23:05.and 40,000 boxes of goods But just ?500,000 of that has
:23:06. > :23:08.so far been distributed There are concerns much
:23:09. > :23:12.of the money isn't reaching Meanwhile, the Grenfell Fire
:23:13. > :23:16.Response Team says the total amount of financial assistance provided
:23:17. > :23:35.to families so far totals more It is second-hand clothes heaven.
:23:36. > :23:42.Some of the items we have had have been absolutely beautiful. We have
:23:43. > :23:45.had things like this. Lovely. This is the Grenfell Tower fire appeal in
:23:46. > :23:49.action, a Red Cross sorting centre in Cheshire. Donations in the green
:23:50. > :23:55.bags will be sold in Red Cross shops. Black bags are for recycling.
:23:56. > :24:00.Brand-new items will go straight back to survivors of the fire, or
:24:01. > :24:04.relatives of those who died. It is about turning all the different
:24:05. > :24:09.donations we have had into cash, which automatically will then go to
:24:10. > :24:14.the appeal. To appreciate the scale of donations, you have to fly
:24:15. > :24:21.through this London warehouse a week after the fire. It is estimated 174
:24:22. > :24:26.tons of stuff was donated. So far, they have sorted half of it, and ten
:24:27. > :24:32.tons has gone back to the victims. No amount of money is enough for the
:24:33. > :24:36.loved ones of those who died. Research by the BBC shows that
:24:37. > :24:41.several appeals and charities have now raised nearly ?20 million. Some
:24:42. > :24:47.question why only a small part of that has made it through. We feel
:24:48. > :24:50.that it is betraying the public's generosity, because they gave money
:24:51. > :24:56.to help directly those who were affected. And it is not clear that
:24:57. > :25:00.it is happening. It is like there is a filter, and organisations rather
:25:01. > :25:04.than individuals are getting the financial support. Charities say the
:25:05. > :25:08.complexity and the scale of what has happened here means everything takes
:25:09. > :25:13.time. The thing about these things that we have learnt from the 7/7
:25:14. > :25:16.attacks, and indeed from the response to the Manchester attack,
:25:17. > :25:21.that it takes longer than you might think for people to come forward to
:25:22. > :25:28.seek their funding. I have forgiven, you know, the bombers who did this
:25:29. > :25:35.to me. Thelma lost her left foot in the London 7/7 means. She received
:25:36. > :25:39.money donated by the public. I used to get myself daily physiotherapy
:25:40. > :25:45.support at home. My determination was to walk again, as I was told the
:25:46. > :25:49.chances were highly unlikely. It took 15 months to distribute all the
:25:50. > :25:54.money raised for victims of those attacks, like Thelma. Thelma is now
:25:55. > :26:00.a trustee of the London emergency trust. It is distributing ?4.8
:26:01. > :26:06.million of the Grenfell appeal. So far 16 people have received
:26:07. > :26:09.payments. You are in a state of total confusion, a lot of people are
:26:10. > :26:12.suffering from post-traumatic stress. You are trying to understand
:26:13. > :26:17.what has happened, the implications for your life going forward, has
:26:18. > :26:23.changed for ever. Even here, in rural Cheshire, what happened in
:26:24. > :26:27.London tower block is by no means. I can't watch it on TV now. You know,
:26:28. > :26:31.it makes you cry. It is emotional even now, just the thought of what
:26:32. > :26:38.is yet to be found, and the people. Whether donating an old top or
:26:39. > :26:41.tenner, people have been moved to act. The challenge for the charities
:26:42. > :26:43.is ensuring it all benefits those who have lost so much.

:35:00. > :35:14.Your testing me on advert knowledge. -- you're. As it matter who pours
:35:15. > :35:19.the gravy? Do you remember when Hannah Cockroft came in? She had a
:35:20. > :35:26.goal in mind. She spoke specifically about her target. I think it was

:35:37. > :35:38.success in the T34 100 metres on Friday with another
:35:39. > :35:41.gold in the 800 metres. She can complete the treble
:35:42. > :35:52.with victory in the 400 To go out in front of everyone was
:35:53. > :36:00.amazing. To do this again five years down the line, it brings so many
:36:01. > :36:03.memories. They have kept me and Kare where we are. We can bring home more
:36:04. > :36:05.medals to Team GB. Sophie Kamlish set a world record
:36:06. > :36:08.time in the T44 category She also did that at the Paralympics
:36:09. > :36:13.in Rio last year but missed out Last night though she went
:36:14. > :36:25.on to secure gold. Unkind are still not really
:36:26. > :36:30.believing it. It's obviously the only other international medal I got
:36:31. > :36:32.was a bronze in the 200. --I am still not really believing it. I'm
:36:33. > :36:38.really amazed. Earlier yesterday Olivia Breen

:37:21. > :37:23.to. It's not about giving in, it's about accepting challenges. That's
:37:24. > :37:29.what really frustrating me, not just as an athlete, an individual. The
:37:30. > :37:31.IBC are stepping back and letting the athletes dictate the programme,
:37:32. > :37:33.it's ridiculous. England lost the Second Test
:37:34. > :37:36.against South Africa at Trent Bridge They were all out for 133
:37:37. > :37:40.in their second innings. It was a disastrous day
:37:41. > :37:42.for the hosts, who lost Skipper Joe Root cleaned
:37:43. > :37:47.up by Chris Morris, with what was possibly
:37:48. > :37:50.the best ball of the day. South Africa dominated
:37:51. > :37:52.in all departments though, and won the game with well over
:37:53. > :37:55.a day to spare. The series is now level
:37:56. > :38:06.at 1-1 with the Third Test It has been a bit of a contrast in
:38:07. > :38:11.emotions in terms of the first two test matches but we obviously need
:38:12. > :38:15.to look at certain areas. We don't want to dwell too much on them. We
:38:16. > :38:20.need to stay tight as a squad and make sure when we turn up at the
:38:21. > :38:22.Oval we are absolutely ready to go and make sure we can continue in the
:38:23. > :38:22.series. England's women will be hoping
:38:23. > :38:25.to fair better than their male counterparts when they also take
:38:26. > :38:28.on South Africa in their World Cup semi final in Bristol
:38:29. > :38:30.later this morning. The winner will take on either
:38:31. > :38:38.Australia or India in the final What has given the girls of massive
:38:39. > :38:42.confidence, the types of games we have one, we have one in different
:38:43. > :38:47.ways. We have one scrappy games and ones where we have just piled points
:38:48. > :38:52.on and the tight contest with Australia.
:38:53. > :38:56.The Tour de France gets back under way this morning after a rest day
:38:57. > :38:58.and Chris Froome says he hopes he'll get stronger over
:38:59. > :39:02.2017 has been the defending champion's toughest Tour yet,
:39:03. > :39:05.after losing the leader's yellow jersey on Thursday and winning it
:39:06. > :39:16.Of course, it was a different -- disappointment to lose it. I had a
:39:17. > :39:19.bad day. But a feeling better and better as the race goes on and
:39:20. > :39:23.hopefully that means we have time things really well coming into this
:39:24. > :39:27.race. I came in really fresh and I hope that means that going into the
:39:28. > :39:29.third week now, that's going to put me in better shape than some of my
:39:30. > :39:34.rivals. The pairings have been announced
:39:35. > :39:37.for the first two rounds of this Defending champion Henrik Stenson
:39:38. > :39:40.will play alongside former world number one and two time
:39:41. > :39:43.major winner Jordan Spieth. Rory McIlroy will partner
:39:44. > :39:46.the current world number one Dustin Johnson and local lad
:39:47. > :39:58.Tommy Fleetwood will tee off with US It's going to be an experience for
:39:59. > :40:01.me that I will never forget. It's very rare that you get a tournament
:40:02. > :40:06.this close to home. Everybody wants to talk about that and it is, it's a
:40:07. > :40:08.massive privilege to be playing at a tournament so close to home. It's
:40:09. > :40:18.going to be a great week for me. He says his goat to get used to
:40:19. > :40:23.being recognised locally. -- got to get used to. In the papers today he
:40:24. > :40:26.said, "Nobody has fainted when they have met me, yet."
:40:27. > :40:29.We're told that if something appears too good to be true,

:40:43. > :40:46.We're joined by the model, Matt Peacock, who's been targeted
:40:47. > :41:03.Good morning. This has happened directly to you. What did they use?
:41:04. > :41:07.Images? It came around four years ago when I started to get messages
:41:08. > :41:11.on online profiles of people saying they were talking to people using my
:41:12. > :41:17.pictures but not my name. How do they put two and two together?
:41:18. > :41:20.Through my job. People recognised me from different things. Usually a
:41:21. > :41:27.friend would say, no, that's actually matter. And they were
:41:28. > :41:35.pretending using your image. -- Matt. The whole thing. Online dating
:41:36. > :41:42.profiles. Based on the picture and used that. Yes to meet or chat to
:41:43. > :41:45.girls. The guy was doing it, he had been talking to a girl for about
:41:46. > :41:53.eight months and ended up using it to get everything. What impact
:41:54. > :41:56.hasn't had on you and your family? It caused a few problems at home.
:41:57. > :42:01.She was getting messages at home saying that your husband has
:42:02. > :42:07.messaged under a different name. They were using reaches of my niece
:42:08. > :42:14.and nephew so it has caused problems with my brother. Your wife has been
:42:15. > :42:19.told by people you are cheating on her. Randomly. It would show a
:42:20. > :42:24.different name and she would say no, that is not Matt. Every time I got a
:42:25. > :42:31.message of the girl saying you have been messaging me under a different
:42:32. > :42:36.name. It's spooky, its sinister. How worried where you and what could you
:42:37. > :42:40.do about it? At first, I just rushed it off but it got sinister when I
:42:41. > :42:45.got a message from a young girl who had been talking to a guy using my
:42:46. > :42:48.images to eight months. He talked her into sending videos and
:42:49. > :42:54.pictures. She was quite a vulnerable person. She wanted to commit suicide
:42:55. > :42:59.over it and it was at that point I thought right, I have got to do
:43:00. > :43:05.something about this. I got a private detective involved. We got
:43:06. > :43:12.one of the guys doing it and went down and confronted him and he was a
:43:13. > :43:18.bit of a sorry individual himself and broke down. Two weeks later, he
:43:19. > :43:22.carried on. Did you talk to the police? At that point I thought I
:43:23. > :43:26.needed to go to the police so Rebecca and I went. The police said
:43:27. > :43:32.that he is not breaking any laws. And then I thought right, I have got
:43:33. > :43:38.to do something about this. I got the MP together. The laws are forged
:43:39. > :43:42.in the dark and they have not kept up with the social media of today.
:43:43. > :43:45.We went through that and here we are today. She will take it to
:43:46. > :43:55.Parliament today and you are hoping there will be a the law? That is my
:43:56. > :43:59.and goal. You don't ever see an online gambling company losing money
:44:00. > :44:05.to fake profiles because money is involved. Has it made you think
:44:06. > :44:09.about your social media presence? Obviously, the pictures are yours.
:44:10. > :44:12.Wheeler it has. I have been a stubborn character and thought why
:44:13. > :44:17.should I have to make everything of mine private? Also, I use it for
:44:18. > :44:22.business as well. I get business through social media. I'm going to
:44:23. > :44:32.do it the hard way now and get it changed. Thank you very much.
:44:33. > :44:36.The government says it wants to work with private enterprise and social
:44:37. > :44:36.media. It is 200 years since
:44:37. > :44:39.the death of Jane Austen, one of the country's
:44:40. > :44:41.best-loved authors. Matt is in Hampshire
:44:42. > :44:43.for us this morning, where they are remembering her life
:44:44. > :44:59.with Pride, and perhaps some Good morning, yes, no prejudice
:45:00. > :45:03.here. We are the BBC, of course. As you can see, the home where she
:45:04. > :45:06.spent the last eight years of her life was very unpretentious. This
:45:07. > :45:11.was the room she shared with her sister, Cassandra. They were very
:45:12. > :45:15.close indeed. Her former home is now a museum and around that there are
:45:16. > :45:19.41 special exhibits, such as this, all commemorating the 41 years of
:45:20. > :45:25.her life. This is an extract from Winston Churchill's memoirs, which
:45:26. > :45:29.just stated how much her books gave him comfort during this period of
:45:30. > :45:35.sickness. Also seeing some of the exposed beams and woodwork from this
:45:36. > :45:39.property, and some of the things that were around at the time. But it
:45:40. > :45:43.is quite a small, fairly humble room as well, and from this house, of
:45:44. > :45:47.course, she wrote such great and fantastic works. We will be taking a
:45:48. > :45:51.little bit more of a look around the property as we go throughout the
:45:52. > :45:55.morning. And we may have come inside but it is very pleasant out there
:45:56. > :45:59.this morning. A dry start for just about all, with a lot of sunshine
:46:00. > :46:04.around. Very warm out there today but just be warned across southern
:46:05. > :46:07.areas, you may be heading to work dry but there may be thunderstorms
:46:08. > :46:11.later. They push towards the Channel Islands and by the end of the day
:46:12. > :46:15.there could be across some southern counties of England. For most of you
:46:16. > :46:18.it is a day of sunny spells. The best of the sunshine the further
:46:19. > :46:21.north you are. The exception probably being around Shetland,
:46:22. > :46:25.where we will continue to see some low cloud around at times. Even
:46:26. > :46:49.here, brighter than yesterday. Northern Scotland could hit 27
:46:50. > :46:52.degrees in the sunshine. Not far off that in parts of Northern Ireland.
:46:53. > :46:55.Lots of sunshine for northern England but with more of an easterly
:46:56. > :46:58.breeze, eastern parts could be a good five degrees cooler than
:46:59. > :47:01.yesterday. The further west you are the hotter it will be. Temperatures
:47:02. > :47:05.across western England and eastern Wales could hit 27 to 29 degrees. By
:47:06. > :47:07.the end of the afternoon we will be seeing some sporadic thunderstorms.
:47:08. > :47:11.Mainly big lightning displays pushing across parts of the
:47:12. > :47:14.south-west and maybe south Wales. As they start to push into night across
:47:15. > :47:17.southern counties of England, torrential downpours will come with
:47:18. > :47:20.them. Gusty winds as well. They are very much hit and miss. Don't treat
:47:21. > :47:24.the position of those showers to literally on the graphics, but where
:47:25. > :47:27.you do see them there could be some storms and a sleepless night for
:47:28. > :47:31.some of you. Working towards the Wales and East Anglia as we end the
:47:32. > :47:34.night as well. Temperatures turning increasingly monkey from the south.
:47:35. > :47:37.It will be a little bit fresher further north at the monkey a works
:47:38. > :47:40.northwards tomorrow. With its thunderstorms pushing into Northern
:47:41. > :47:43.Ireland and Scotland. Again, very much hit and miss. Brighter weather
:47:44. > :47:46.across England and Wales but with low cloud across the far south-west.
:47:47. > :47:49.As temperatures peak tomorrow across eastern areas, 32 for some in
:47:50. > :47:51.eastern England, we could again get some isolated but torrential
:47:52. > :47:54.thunderstorms developing. They will rumble on into Wednesday night,
:47:55. > :47:57.eventually clearing through Thursday morning in eastern counties of
:47:58. > :48:00.England and eastern Scotland. Right conditions in the west with a few
:48:01. > :48:04.showers later on. By Thursday the humidity is over and it is dry and
:48:05. > :48:08.bright once again. I will have more later on. We will look forward to
:48:09. > :48:11.Thursday. Thank you very much. Just checking what is coming up later,
:48:12. > :48:13.because I heard a rumour that might be some pies in the studio.
:48:14. > :48:16.Time for some business now, and Sean has got the pies
:48:17. > :48:26.We have learnt a lot this morning about how to display pies. That is a
:48:27. > :48:35.lovely display. A lot of time and effort has gone into this. Some
:48:36. > :48:42.meat, some butter pies. Is that made with butter? It has a certain amount
:48:43. > :48:42.of butter in it. Hold fire, we will explain.
:48:43. > :48:45.It is not just a gratuitous pie-fest this morning.
:48:46. > :48:48.We are really talking about prices, as later this morning we will get
:48:49. > :48:51.the official figures which tell us how quickly prices
:48:52. > :48:54.Food prices are one area particularly on the up,
:48:55. > :48:59.and if we take a look at the humble pie, you can see why.
:49:00. > :49:02.For example, the lard in the pastry crust of our pie comes
:49:03. > :49:06.Bringing in things from abroad is costing more because of
:49:07. > :49:10.And, even if you buy within the UK, the price of raw materials,
:49:11. > :49:13.as they call them, are generally on the up as well, ingredients
:49:14. > :49:16.like the potato, butter, and flour that goes into our pie.
:49:17. > :49:20.Experts reckon fuel prices are generally lower,
:49:21. > :49:22.so delivering those pies around the country could
:49:23. > :49:26.So plenty of costs for those who make and sell our food
:49:27. > :49:38.One man who does that is Paul Bowen, from Bowen Pies in Lancashire.
:49:39. > :49:44.Good morning. We will get onto the quality of our display a little
:49:45. > :49:50.later but lots of different things taken into account. What is a big
:49:51. > :49:54.thing you are seeing it a moment? The big thing for us as price
:49:55. > :49:57.increases across the board. So our raw materials have gone up quite
:49:58. > :50:02.dramatically. Wages have gone up quite a lot, twice last year,
:50:03. > :50:07.business rates again is another killer. And everything in general,
:50:08. > :50:12.really. Nothing is ever coming down. It is always on the up. So
:50:13. > :50:16.everything is always on the up for you. If we start with the raw
:50:17. > :50:19.materials and the stuff you are getting from other suppliers. When
:50:20. > :50:26.you talk to them about prices going up, do you feel they are passing on
:50:27. > :50:31.what costing them, or are they trying to get more out of your? No,
:50:32. > :50:35.they will always... Say it has gone up 10%, they will come in for 15,
:50:36. > :50:39.giving you a chance to look around, and then they will drop the prices,
:50:40. > :50:43.because they know as soon as anyone puts the prices up you will shop
:50:44. > :50:46.around and from that they will do some more negotiations back down.
:50:47. > :50:50.But you are supplying other people, as well, with these pies, and
:50:51. > :50:56.customers are buying them. Are you having to put your prices up as a
:50:57. > :51:00.result? Yes. So how much more? A meat pie has gone up around 10p
:51:01. > :51:04.within a year, which doesn't sound a lot, but to the average Joe, you
:51:05. > :51:09.know, that comes into a small business like ourselves, they will
:51:10. > :51:14.think I am trying to rip them off. You know, 10p is nothing compared to
:51:15. > :51:18.the major cost. So that change of 10p, do you see customers changing
:51:19. > :51:22.the type of pie they are having? Yes, we have the butter pie here,
:51:23. > :51:27.which people see as a cheaper alternative to a steak pie. There is
:51:28. > :51:37.a 25 the difference, but although it is only 25p, they will often swing
:51:38. > :51:44.towards it. -- 25p difference. What is in a butter pie? It is just
:51:45. > :51:49.butter and potato, a little bit of our own seasoning in there. As
:51:50. > :51:54.simple as that. Getting a little plug-in that, we like that. A butter
:51:55. > :51:58.pie is pretty much just utter, a bit of pastry, nice bit of pie in the
:51:59. > :52:01.middle -- butter. They were a childhood creation that
:52:02. > :52:03.gained worldwide attention. The Cottingley photos are a series
:52:04. > :52:06.of images showing fairies They have since been described
:52:07. > :52:10.as an elaborate hoax, but were the photos
:52:11. > :52:12.actually genuine? 100 years on, David Sillito
:52:13. > :52:34.has been to find out. I am Christine Lynch, the daughter
:52:35. > :52:38.of friends in Griffiths. The little girl in the Cottingley photos that
:52:39. > :52:46.everyone has seen. The photograph with the five Little fairies in
:52:47. > :52:54.front of her. 100 years, it is unbelievable. 100 years since that
:52:55. > :53:05.photograph was taken. So this is the plate. It is a strange feeling
:53:06. > :53:09.holding these glass plates of little Frances Griffiths and the ferries.
:53:10. > :53:14.It was her cousin Elsie who took them, and years later admitted they
:53:15. > :53:20.were a hoax -- fairies. It was the Elsie a bit of fun, but not for
:53:21. > :53:24.Frances She was a very honest person, and she really said it
:53:25. > :53:29.spoiled her life. And the pictures taken by the stream in 1917 caused a
:53:30. > :53:32.sensation. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of Sherlock Holmes, for they
:53:33. > :53:39.were proof that fairies really existed. When the hoax was revealed,
:53:40. > :53:44.Frances was upset. Suddenly of Ron thought that all of it was made up.
:53:45. > :53:52.What they ignored was that Frances maintained she had seen fairies, and
:53:53. > :53:57.that this photograph was not a fake. Are you not embarrassed to say I
:53:58. > :54:02.believe in fairies? No, because I do believe they are genuine. I do
:54:03. > :54:08.believe. This is the actual garden, then, is it? It is the garden, yes.
:54:09. > :54:13.The fairy garden. An artist bought it just over a year ago. Did you
:54:14. > :54:21.know about the fairies? No, we didn't actually know. No one told
:54:22. > :54:26.you? No. It really is quite magical down here, and nothing has changed
:54:27. > :54:32.in 100 years. You can see exactly what would have inspired the
:54:33. > :54:37.imagination of two little girls. The fairy mania they inspired seems like
:54:38. > :54:42.another age. However, 100 years on, believe has not disappeared. A
:54:43. > :54:46.professor of art is took these pictures of what he thought were
:54:47. > :54:51.insects. When he displayed them, people from around the world were
:54:52. > :54:58.convinced he had photographed fairies. I was getting fairies from
:54:59. > :55:01.Peru being sent to me, from Finland, from Israel, from Australia, people
:55:02. > :55:08.sending their photographs of fairies. Are these people who really
:55:09. > :55:14.believe? Yes, people who have had encounters, and are sending us
:55:15. > :55:17.teachers of their encounters. So for most of us, Cottingley is a picture
:55:18. > :55:22.of a hoax put, but not the Christine. All these years these
:55:23. > :55:25.photographs were believed, then they were not believed. But that one
:55:26. > :55:28.thing that was hanging here all that time, that genuine article, has been
:55:29. > :55:33.hanging here that time, and nothing has been done about it. A secret
:55:34. > :55:35.world that only a few of us can see. 100 years on, belief is still very
:55:36. > :55:44.with us. Feel free to get in touch with us
:55:45. > :55:49.about that. Still to come this morning:

:02:10. > :02:12.from University College London, says the rate of increase has almost
:02:13. > :02:15."ground to a halt" since 2010. In the UK as a whole,

:02:30. > :02:33.advised both the government and World Health Organization,
:02:34. > :02:36.points out that the rate of increase Historically, life expectancy
:02:37. > :02:40.at birth has risen by one year for every five years for women
:02:41. > :02:43.and one year every 3.5 for men. Since 2010, however,
:02:44. > :02:46.that has slowed to one year for every ten for women and one
:02:47. > :02:49.for every six for men. Sir Michael says the situation needs
:02:50. > :02:54.to be urgently looked at. This is historically highly unusual
:02:55. > :02:57.because over a long period of time, for 100 years, life expectancy has
:02:58. > :03:00.been improving, year on year in Britain as it has in many, many,
:03:01. > :03:04.many, many other countries. And now it has slowed,

:03:08. > :03:09.of the healthier countries. He says it's not possible to say
:03:10. > :03:27.exactly what had caused it but he says austerity could be
:03:28. > :03:30.a factor and funding for the NHS and social care in particular
:03:31. > :03:33.had been miserly. Dementia is also likely
:03:34. > :03:35.to have played a role. The Department of Health says it's

:11:07. > :11:09."Hitlerism, in it's madness and hatred, brought this fate
:11:10. > :11:26.I want to explore one of our main stories in a little more detail.
:11:27. > :11:29.Over the last century, the number of years we can expect
:11:30. > :11:34.But a leading expert now says the rate in which life expectancy
:11:35. > :11:37.is increasing, has slowed - almost "grinding to a halt" in fact.
:11:38. > :11:42.At the moment, the average person in the UK can
:11:43. > :11:44.expect to live to around 81 years old.
:11:45. > :11:46.But until 2010, life expectancy in England
:11:47. > :11:51.That was mostly down to improvements in healthcare and medicine,
:11:52. > :11:54.as well as various lifestyle factors that helped us live longer.
:11:55. > :11:57.However, new figures suggest average life expectancies have
:11:58. > :12:01.The author of this new report thinks that might be down to greater
:12:02. > :12:04.pressure on health services and the rise in dementia diagnosis.
:12:05. > :12:07.How long you live also depends on where you live -
:12:08. > :12:09.with life expectancy lowest in the north-west.
:12:10. > :12:11.And highest in the London borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
:12:12. > :12:13.The author of the report, Professor Sir Michael
:12:14. > :12:15.Marmot, says the results need urgent attention.
:12:16. > :12:29.Are you worried by these figures? I am extremely worried. We expected
:12:30. > :12:33.that for then life expectancy would improve about one year every 3.5
:12:34. > :12:40.years and four women one year every five years. And now the rate of
:12:41. > :12:45.increase has halved. And when people have asked, well, aren't we reaching
:12:46. > :12:53.the limit and the answer is, no, we are not. Countries such as Japan,
:12:54. > :12:58.Hong Kong, Singapore, quite apart from the Nordic countries, have
:12:59. > :13:03.longer life expectancy. And it is still increasing. Ours has levelled
:13:04. > :13:07.off. In the US, it actually declining and I think we want to
:13:08. > :13:12.look more like Nordic countries or Hong Kong and we do like the United
:13:13. > :13:19.States. Uninterested in why you think it matters. Why would we want
:13:20. > :13:22.to live longer and longer? Life expectancy is a summary figure that
:13:23. > :13:27.is an indicator of how healthy we are. The figures that you quoted at
:13:28. > :13:32.the beginning saying that life expectancy is shorter in the north
:13:33. > :13:37.than it is in the south-east. In Kensington and Chelsea for example,
:13:38. > :13:43.where you quite rightly said there is the longest life expectancy,
:13:44. > :13:48.there are huge inequalities. In the worst off part in Kensington and
:13:49. > :13:53.Chelsea, life expectancy was 16 years shorter than in the best off
:13:54. > :13:56.part. It's no accident that Grenfell Tower was in the worst off part of
:13:57. > :14:02.Kensington and Chelsea. And then along with shorter lives, there is
:14:03. > :14:07.more of those lives spent with illness and disability so it's not
:14:08. > :14:12.just living longer, its living healthier that we're concerned
:14:13. > :14:17.about. Lets look at what you asked specifically say. -- what you are
:14:18. > :14:21.specifically say in. Is it down to how much money people have? If you
:14:22. > :14:27.have very little money and money matters. One of my recommendations
:14:28. > :14:32.has for some years now been that everyone should have at least the
:14:33. > :14:35.minimum income necessary for a healthy life and we are some way
:14:36. > :14:44.short of that. The National Living Wage is actually below the minimum
:14:45. > :14:48.necessary for a healthy life. And the proportion of the population who
:14:49. > :14:54.fall short of that has been rising so money is part of it but if you
:14:55. > :15:00.have enough money above batch threshold, other social factors are
:15:01. > :15:05.still vitally important and it starts at the beginning of life.
:15:06. > :15:12.Quality of early child development, how well we are doing at school and
:15:13. > :15:18.typically at school we see that more deprived areas have a smaller
:15:19. > :15:30.proportion of young people getting five GCSE. The kids on free school
:15:31. > :15:34.meals are doing worse. But in London, for example, the gap in
:15:35. > :15:41.school performance between children eligible for free school meals and
:15:42. > :15:48.the average is much less than the rest of the country. We can narrow
:15:49. > :15:52.the gaps and we look at employment, working conditions, how much money
:15:53. > :15:59.people have and then circumstances in old age. I just want to stop you
:16:00. > :16:03.because we are short of time. Just, you seem to identify an issue around
:16:04. > :16:09.the middle classes. Is that lifestyle or what is going on there?
:16:10. > :16:16.I talk about the social gradient, so people in the middle have worse
:16:17. > :16:20.health than those at the bottom. Sorry, have worse health than those
:16:21. > :16:25.at the top but better health than those beneath them. And we think
:16:26. > :16:30.that lifestyle is a consequence of these social conditions in which
:16:31. > :16:35.people live and work. And let me just mention two things that may
:16:36. > :16:39.relate to the elderly. One is that spending on adult social care has
:16:40. > :16:46.been reduced by more than 6% since 2010, at a time when the elderly
:16:47. > :16:51.population has increased by one sixth. And the second is that the
:16:52. > :16:55.historical increases in NHS spending has been very much less dance 2010.
:16:56. > :17:12.-- less since 2010. Would you like to be outside
:17:13. > :17:19.enjoying the sunshine with a book and a cup of tea? That is where Matt
:17:20. > :17:24.is. Sorry to interrupt you, can we have the weather, please? It didn't
:17:25. > :17:29.take much Persuasion to come out and have a cup of tea and a good read.
:17:30. > :17:34.We are on the grounds of Jane Austen's former home in Hampshire.
:17:35. > :17:38.It is 200 years since she passed away and today is a special date in
:17:39. > :17:43.that she is being fully commemorated in various respect. The Royal Mint
:17:44. > :17:47.is releasing a ?2 coin in her honour and later today, Mark Carney from
:17:48. > :17:53.the Bank of England will be unveiling a new ?10 note on which
:17:54. > :17:57.Jane Austen's portrait will replace that of Charles Darwin. You can
:17:58. > :18:00.understand just where some of the inspiration from her stories came
:18:01. > :18:04.from. A beautiful scene, a beautiful setting and a beautiful morning in
:18:05. > :18:09.Hampshire this morning, as it is across many parts of the country. If
:18:10. > :18:14.we take a look at the forecast through today, it will not only be a
:18:15. > :18:18.dry day but pretty worn one. There is a word of note dimension, and
:18:19. > :18:22.that is that there will be some thunderstorms later across the
:18:23. > :18:25.south. At the moment they are in northern France and you will get
:18:26. > :18:29.some lightning in the Channel Islands in the coming hours and by
:18:30. > :18:32.the time we get to the afternoon some of those will push into the
:18:33. > :18:36.south coast of England. For most of you it is a sunny day. The best of
:18:37. > :18:39.the blue skies further north, the exception being Shetlands. A
:18:40. > :18:43.brighter day than yesterday, the cloud will eventually break up.
:18:44. > :18:47.Mostly dry, 27 the high in the North of Scotland around them Murray first
:18:48. > :18:51.and the northern highlands. Not far from that around Northern Ireland as
:18:52. > :18:55.well. It is not quite as warm as it was yesterday, whereas in the west
:18:56. > :18:58.it will be a good deal warmer. Hazy sunshine for many. Temperatures
:18:59. > :19:02.across western England and Wales peaking at 27 to 29 degrees, the
:19:03. > :19:06.hotspot probably somewhere around the south-west Midlands towards the
:19:07. > :19:10.Bristol and Cardiff areas. You can see in the charts some big storms
:19:11. > :19:14.possible by the time you finish the afternoon. Don't take the positions
:19:15. > :19:17.of the storms to literally as we run through the night. They will be some
:19:18. > :19:20.nasty thunderstorms with torrential downpours, giving some minor
:19:21. > :19:25.flooding for some. Gusty winds possible as they drove their weight
:19:26. > :19:33.northwards. The further north you are, you should spend a night dry.
:19:34. > :19:39.More so than the muggy conditions we have further south. Sporadic
:19:40. > :19:43.thunderstorms through that day on Wednesday morning. Not everyone will
:19:44. > :19:48.see them. Brighter conditions for a time across England and Wales, but
:19:49. > :19:52.temperatures will boost the heat. 31 Celsius possible in eastern England
:19:53. > :19:55.at this time, west favoured for the hottest of the weather. As you see
:19:56. > :20:00.the humidity and heat combined, we could set off some further storms.
:20:01. > :20:03.Especially from Wales, the Midlands and into northern England. We could
:20:04. > :20:06.finish the day with some nasty conditions around. They will ease
:20:07. > :20:10.off into the North Sea into Thursday. Still a bit of cloud and
:20:11. > :20:14.outbreaks of rain across eastern areas, but brightening up from the
:20:15. > :20:19.west. Just a few showers. By the time you to Thursday it is going to
:20:20. > :20:23.feel much, much pressure. The old saying, three fine days and a
:20:24. > :20:28.thunderstorm probably holds true. Some big storms again later. Now, if

:35:52. > :35:55.South African, you've got Dave Henson that want to continue,
:35:56. > :36:00.It's not about giving in, it's about accepting challenges.
:36:01. > :36:02.That's what really frustrates me, not just
:36:03. > :36:07.That the IPC are kind of stepping back and letting
:36:08. > :36:15.the athletes dictate the programme, it's ridiculous.
:36:16. > :36:24.Why is that happening? Really good question. Some other athletes have
:36:25. > :36:29.complained about the double athletes. He is a double amputee.
:36:30. > :36:34.The way he runs potentially puts others in danger and the 100 metres
:36:35. > :36:37.is long enough to get a rhythm going and therefore they are saying there
:36:38. > :36:40.are too many variables and he could knock other people out. Richards
:36:41. > :36:45.point is that has never happened before. He is really good, he is
:36:46. > :36:49.really fast and really competitive. Other people perhaps are feeling a
:36:50. > :36:50.bit threatened. Really, really disappointing for him.
:36:51. > :36:54.England lost the Second Test against South Africa at Trent Bridge
:36:55. > :36:58.They were all out for 133 in their second innings.
:36:59. > :37:00.It was a disastrous day for the hosts, who lost

:37:04. > :37:06.with what was possibly the best ball of the day.
:37:07. > :37:08.South Africa dominated in all departments though,
:37:09. > :37:11.and won the game with well over a day to spare.
:37:12. > :37:14.The series is now level at 1-1 with the Third Test
:37:15. > :37:19.It has been a bit of a contrast in emotions in terms of the first
:37:20. > :37:23.two test matches but we obviously need to look at certain areas.
:37:24. > :37:26.But we don't want to dwell too much on them.
:37:27. > :37:30.We need to stay tight as a squad and make sure when we turn up
:37:31. > :37:32.at the Oval we are absolutely ready to go
:37:33. > :37:35.and make sure we go 2-1 up in the series.
:37:36. > :37:38.England's women will be hoping to fair better than their male

:37:44. > :37:46.The winner will take on either Australia or India in the final
:37:47. > :37:51.What's given the girls massive confidence is the type of games
:37:52. > :37:56.We've won games where we've just piled runs on the board,
:37:57. > :37:59.we've won a scrappy game against the West Indies the other
:38:00. > :38:03.day and we held our nerve in that tight contest with Australia

:38:31. > :38:33.that means we have timed things really well coming into this race.
:38:34. > :38:37.I came in really fresh and I hope that means that going into the third

:39:12. > :39:15.for me that I will never forget. It's very rare that you get
:39:16. > :39:19.a tournament this close to home. I know everybody wants to talk
:39:20. > :39:22.about that and it is, it's a massive privilege to be
:39:23. > :39:25.playing at a tournament so close to home and it be the British Open
:39:26. > :39:38.so it's going to be a great week Of course Tommy Fleetwood is from
:39:39. > :39:45.Southport which is just down the road. It's the dream, isn't it?
:39:46. > :39:48.For children, the summer holidays - stretching out for weeks ahead -
:39:49. > :39:51.are likely to be an exciting and highly anticipated break
:39:52. > :39:54.But for many parents, they can be a logistical nightmare.
:39:55. > :39:57.The children's charity, the NSPCC, says it's seen a rise
:39:58. > :40:00.in calls from people concerned about children being left home-alone
:40:01. > :40:11.But first, this is what some of you had to say on the matter.
:40:12. > :40:22.I think leaving kids when they are under 13, I would worry as a teacher
:40:23. > :40:27.if kids were being left at home alone. As long as the child
:40:28. > :40:35.understands that they have been left alone and they can be sensible while
:40:36. > :40:40.they are left alone. Going away on holiday and leaving a 14-year-old,
:40:41. > :40:44.no. But talking about a 14-year-old looking after a kid while you go to
:40:45. > :40:50.the supermarket, I can't see the problem. My children were never left
:40:51. > :40:55.on their road. That's probably old school. A lot of people have got to
:40:56. > :40:58.work, I understand that. But I don't think children should be left on
:40:59. > :41:04.their road. Tentative when there were more than one of them at home
:41:05. > :41:09.and over 12, 13. And probably not for very long, maybe just down to
:41:10. > :41:10.the shops or get a newspaper or something like that. I wouldn't
:41:11. > :41:12.leave a really young child at home. Joining us now to discuss the issue
:41:13. > :41:15.further is Paul Kelly, an educational and
:41:16. > :41:28.child psychologist. There is no law, is there? About
:41:29. > :41:33.what the right age is? As we can see, everybody has a different view.
:41:34. > :41:37.What are your thoughts? There isn't an age specifically in law. The
:41:38. > :41:41.guidance says that babies, topless and very young children should be
:41:42. > :41:47.left alone but after that, it's up to parents to individually make that
:41:48. > :41:52.decision. It is tricky for parents but there is good information around
:41:53. > :41:55.to guide them. You are a psychologist. What influences that
:41:56. > :42:00.have on the child they are regularly left at home. Can it have a
:42:01. > :42:05.detrimental short-term, long-term, is that? There is no easy as that.
:42:06. > :42:08.It depends on the child and their level of responsibility, independent
:42:09. > :42:15.and skills and also whether they feel comfortable or worried about
:42:16. > :42:18.being left at home alone. How do you even start then? Do you have
:42:19. > :42:25.compensation with your child? I would recommend that people
:42:26. > :42:32.gradually built those independent skilled and while the carers are in
:42:33. > :42:35.the house with the child, the child gets comfortable with making
:42:36. > :42:40.decisions on the road or what to do in emergency, who to call for help
:42:41. > :42:45.and having that overview while you are around in the house means you
:42:46. > :42:48.can step in if things go wrong and you can gradually built those
:42:49. > :42:52.independent skills that in the future you might think, yes, I can
:42:53. > :42:58.pop by next-door chairman is to get something, I feel my child is safe
:42:59. > :43:01.seat built up over time. Every parent knows, for example to 12
:43:02. > :43:06.-year-olds, that could be quite different and you treat one in the
:43:07. > :43:10.opposite way to how you treat one. Elements definitely. Age doesn't
:43:11. > :43:13.have any bearing on this, the independents, skills and
:43:14. > :43:16.responsibility of each child could be different. Some children with
:43:17. > :43:22.additional needs might not reach that point where they able to be
:43:23. > :43:28.left independently. I suppose, we don't want to be told at what age
:43:29. > :43:34.you can leave a child or not it is there enough guidance out there? I
:43:35. > :43:39.think it is tricky for parents. I think, instead of looking for a
:43:40. > :43:43.number, they need to look through a list of skills and think, "What will
:43:44. > :43:51.I need to know that my child can do out of the house? ." Also setting
:43:52. > :43:56.ground rules. Can my child cook? Can they have access to the Internet?
:43:57. > :44:01.Will I set ground rules to make sure there is safety around that? At what
:44:02. > :44:06.stage would you report a child being left at home alone. Is that when you
:44:07. > :44:12.can see it having an effect on them or they are clearly worried? At what
:44:13. > :44:17.stage do you step in? The guidance says about risk of harm. If you feel
:44:18. > :44:22.that was a risk of harm and obviously there is a boundary
:44:23. > :44:27.crossed over into a dangerous area. Doctor Paul Kelly, thank you very
:44:28. > :44:30.much. Sure people will be watching this and going through this in your
:44:31. > :44:35.mind as well. Some people on summer holidays as well.
:44:36. > :44:45.Did you have an age for your girls? No, not a set age. And again, you
:44:46. > :44:52.have to play things slow, go out for ten minutes, or whatever. Test the
:44:53. > :44:59.water. Wise advice. Did you study Jane Austen at school? I did, yes.
:45:00. > :45:02.Have a favourite one? Probably Pride and Prejudice.
:45:03. > :45:05.It is 200 years since the death of Jane Austen,
:45:06. > :45:07.one of the country's best-loved authors.
:45:08. > :45:09.Matt is in Hampshire for us this morning,
:45:10. > :45:12.where they are remembering her life with Pride, and perhaps some
:45:13. > :45:21.Is that the front door? It is the front door, but Louise said she
:45:22. > :45:26.liked Pride and Prejudice, this is the gusty she was thinking of when
:45:27. > :45:33.she read it. Tall, dark, handsome, or as the cameraman says, I look a
:45:34. > :45:40.bit more like the Artful Dodger -- Darcy. And of course, it is the
:45:41. > :45:44.200th anniversary. Big commemoration is taking place, including the
:45:45. > :45:48.launch of the ?2 coin and a ?10 note as well. We are taking a close look
:45:49. > :45:52.around the property and gardens through the rest of the morning.
:45:53. > :45:56.Lovely start to the day in Hampshire this morning, as it is for many of
:45:57. > :46:00.you. Taking a look at the forecast, it is shaping up to be a very warm
:46:01. > :46:08.day for the vast majority but there will be some thunderstorms later on.
:46:09. > :46:11.They are already in parts of northern France and they will be
:46:12. > :46:14.with you in areas around the Channel Islands through the morning and into
:46:15. > :46:18.the early afternoon. The lightning storms to go with it, drifting
:46:19. > :46:21.towards the south coast later but in the minority. Most will state dry
:46:22. > :46:24.today, lots of sunshine around in Scotland, where temperatures will
:46:25. > :46:27.peak between 25 and 27 degrees. Some of the warmest conditions around the
:46:28. > :46:30.Murray first and north-west Highlands, where there could be the
:46:31. > :46:33.outside chance of a shower. The cloud and Shetland will eventually
:46:34. > :46:37.break up and into northern England, a fine day in store. The western
:46:38. > :46:41.side of the Pennines form of the east, thanks to a bit of a breeze
:46:42. > :46:45.developing through the day. We could hit 27 to 29 degrees in western
:46:46. > :46:49.parts of England, including the West Midlands, down towards the Bristol
:46:50. > :46:52.area and the south-east of Wales. Cloud will turn the sunshine hazy
:46:53. > :46:57.across England and Wales, but turning our attention to the far
:46:58. > :47:01.south-west, we could see some thunderstorms ending the afternoon.
:47:02. > :47:04.They will drift into other parts of southern England and also across
:47:05. > :47:07.parts of the Midlands and Wales overnight. They will be torrential
:47:08. > :47:11.in places, fairly sporadic, though. Some will mist them all together and
:47:12. > :47:15.they will be reaching northern England by the time we reach dawn.
:47:16. > :47:18.Muggy night for all, temperatures not dropping below the high teens
:47:19. > :47:22.across southern areas. A little bit fresher further north. Into
:47:23. > :47:26.tomorrow, the storms will continue to push off into northern England
:47:27. > :47:30.and Northern Ireland. Very much hit mist, some will avoid them and stay
:47:31. > :47:35.dry altogether. Staying grey in the far south-west. Tomorrow will be
:47:36. > :47:40.even hotter than today. Very humid in eastern areas. 31 to 32 Celsius
:47:41. > :47:44.in eastern parts of England, but that will be enough to set off
:47:45. > :47:47.further storms. Some of the worst of those tomorrow could be across
:47:48. > :47:51.Wales, the Midlands and northern areas of England. They will clear
:47:52. > :47:54.out of the way as we go into Thursday. Only slowly, but brighter
:47:55. > :48:00.and fresher conditions developing the Thursday. One or two showers in
:48:01. > :48:04.the west later but that old adage of three fine days and then a
:48:05. > :48:13.thunderstorm certainly rings true. That is how the weather is looking.
:48:14. > :48:17.Thank you so much, Mr Darcy. If you have just turned on your telly and
:48:18. > :48:23.are wondering what is going on, Matt is at Jane Austen's former home, and
:48:24. > :48:32.he is dressed as Mr Darcy, but everyone is saying he looks a little
:48:33. > :48:34.bit more Artful Dodger. Tall, dark and handsome, let's be honest. One
:48:35. > :48:36.out of three is not bad. Travellers with cancer pay nearly
:48:37. > :48:39.four times more for travel insurance than the rest of us,
:48:40. > :48:41.even after they have That is according to new research,
:48:42. > :48:52.and Sean has more. It can cause additional stress that
:48:53. > :48:53.you don't need when you have costs like that going up.
:48:54. > :48:56.Yes, this is research out this morning from Macmillan Cancer
:48:57. > :49:00.They found that, on average, those that either have or have had
:49:01. > :49:03.cancer pay about ?133 for an annual travel insurance policy,
:49:04. > :49:05.compared to a national average of just ?37.
:49:06. > :49:08.Pavitter is one person who had to cancel a trip after her insurer
:49:09. > :49:14.found out she had cancer and then wouldn't cover her.
:49:15. > :49:22.When I was diagnosed with cancer, in December 2015, it was really
:49:23. > :49:29.difficult to go away on holiday, paying ?600 for the insurance
:49:30. > :49:35.especially, because I have other health conditions. Diabetes type two
:49:36. > :49:41.and also stoma, so that makes the insurance premium even higher than
:49:42. > :49:45.the normal person, who were just have cancer, probably. So it wasn't
:49:46. > :49:51.feasible for us to travel at all that time, so we had to cancel.
:49:52. > :49:54.Macmillan Cancer Support have been calling for the insurance industry
:49:55. > :49:56.to do more about keeping those prices a bit lower, but what can
:49:57. > :49:57.they do? Lyn Hughes is the editor of travel
:49:58. > :49:59.magazine Wanderlust, and joins us from our
:50:00. > :50:04.London newsroom. Good morning. You work in the
:50:05. > :50:08.industry, but you have also had direct experience of this kind of
:50:09. > :50:12.thing. Does this story sound familiar to you? It sounds very
:50:13. > :50:16.familiar. My late husband had cancer, and for the first few years
:50:17. > :50:21.that he had cancer, he just felt incredibly fit and well. And of
:50:22. > :50:25.course, he was a travel nut anyway, he was involved with the magazine as
:50:26. > :50:29.well. But also, like so many people, when they do get that diagnosis,
:50:30. > :50:34.what do they want to do? They want to go and do all the things that,
:50:35. > :50:38.you know, have been on their bucket list for years, that they have
:50:39. > :50:43.always wanted to do, just in case. And so his urge to travel was even
:50:44. > :50:49.greater. But when he came to get insurance, the prices were just
:50:50. > :50:53.terrible. You know, really, really, so many times more what's that he
:50:54. > :50:57.would normally pay. The insurance industry sake that there is
:50:58. > :51:01.insurance widely available for those who have cancer, or even those who
:51:02. > :51:04.have been in remission, because Macmillan Cancer Support is saying
:51:05. > :51:07.there are some examples where people cannot get cover even if they have
:51:08. > :51:11.been in remission for many, many years. Are the industry doing
:51:12. > :51:15.enough? I think they really could do more. I mean, looking at it from
:51:16. > :51:19.their point of view, they say that, of course, if somebody does have a
:51:20. > :51:23.problem when they are away and they have got cancer, and the medical
:51:24. > :51:27.bills are going to be so much more. There is also a greater risk of
:51:28. > :51:31.people cancelling their trip if, for instance, they suddenly have to have
:51:32. > :51:35.some medical treatment, an operation is brought forward, or whatever. But
:51:36. > :51:41.having said that, something like one in two of us get cancer now in our
:51:42. > :51:46.lifetime. The rate of cancer has grown so much. But also the survival
:51:47. > :51:52.rates have grown, and so many people go into remission and they are
:51:53. > :51:57.healthy, they are fit, you know, they want to travel. But of course,
:51:58. > :52:01.they are finding these costs prohibitive. But one of the problems
:52:02. > :52:06.there, I guess, is that if costs are higher for those with cancer or for
:52:07. > :52:10.those who have had cancer, somebody somewhere has to pay more for those
:52:11. > :52:13.expenses. So do you think generally premiums on the whole, on average,
:52:14. > :52:17.should be higher to bring down the cost for those who have cancer? I
:52:18. > :52:22.don't think it is necessarily that, although yes, that would help. I
:52:23. > :52:26.think it is more a case that they do need to review how much it really is
:52:27. > :52:31.costing them. Because there is a bit of a feeling that survival rates
:52:32. > :52:35.have actually increased, but also, people who are say 65 or over are
:52:36. > :52:40.much better and healthier than they used to be, even if they do have
:52:41. > :52:45.some sort of pre-existing condition. But it feels as if the insurance
:52:46. > :52:49.industry, perhaps, hasn't moved on to appreciate that actually, you
:52:50. > :52:54.know, if you take a group of people who have got pre-existing conditions
:52:55. > :52:58.such as cancer, actually it is only a very, very small proportion who
:52:59. > :53:03.may run into problems when they are abroad. Thank you very much. So
:53:04. > :53:10.there are other insurers out there who do specific policies for this
:53:11. > :53:11.kind of thing, but Macmillan Cancer Support saying that costs are still
:53:12. > :53:16.too high. They were a childhood creation that
:53:17. > :53:18.gained worldwide attention. The Cottingley photos are a series
:53:19. > :53:21.of images showing fairies They have since been described
:53:22. > :53:25.as an elaborate hoax, but were the photos
:53:26. > :53:27.actually genuine? 100 years on, David Sillito
:53:28. > :53:39.has been to find out. I am Christine Lynch,
:53:40. > :53:41.the daughter of Frances Griffiths, the little girl in the Cottingley
:53:42. > :53:44.photos that everyone has seen. The photograph with the five little
:53:45. > :53:53.fairies in front of her. 100 years since that
:53:54. > :54:03.photograph was taken. It is a strange feeling holding
:54:04. > :54:07.these glass plates of little It was her cousin Elsie who took
:54:08. > :54:15.them, and years later admitted It was for Elsie a bit of fun,
:54:16. > :54:25.but not for Frances Griffiths. She was a very honest person,
:54:26. > :54:28.and she really said it And the pictures taken by the stream

:54:48. > :54:53.all of it was made up. What they ignored was that Frances
:54:54. > :54:57.still maintained that she had seen fairies, and that this fifth
:54:58. > :55:00.photo was not a fake. Are you not embarrassed to say
:55:01. > :55:03.I believe in fairies? No, because I do believe
:55:04. > :55:05.they are genuine. This is the actual
:55:06. > :55:13.garden, then, is it? An artist, Luke Horsman,
:55:14. > :55:19.bought it just over a year ago. Did you know about the fairies

:55:48. > :55:55.people from around the world were convinced he had
:55:56. > :56:00.photographed fairies. I was getting fairies
:56:01. > :56:03.from Peru being sent to me, from Finland, from Israel,
:56:04. > :56:05.from Australia, people sending their photographs
:56:06. > :56:09.of fairies. Yes, people who have had encounters,

:02:32. > :02:33.Improvements in life expectancy in England are levelling off
:02:34. > :02:35.for the first time in a century, according to a leading
:02:36. > :02:38.Professor Sir Michael Marmot, from University College London,
:02:39. > :02:41.says the rate of increase has almost "ground to a halt" since 2010.
:02:42. > :02:45.In the UK as a whole, women can expect to live to 82
:02:46. > :02:56.Our health correspondent, Nick Triggle, has more.
:02:57. > :02:59.Life expectancy has been rising for the last century but now
:03:00. > :03:02.a leading health expert is raising concerns the increases
:03:03. > :03:07.Sir Michael Marmot, who has advised both the government
:03:08. > :03:10.and World Health Organization, points out that the rate of increase
:03:11. > :03:14.Historically, life expectancy at birth has risen by one year
:03:15. > :03:19.for every five years for women and one year every 3.5 for men.
:03:20. > :03:23.Since 2010, however, that has slowed to one year
:03:24. > :03:26.for every ten for women and one for every six for men.
:03:27. > :03:32.Sir Michael says the situation needs to be urgently looked at.
:03:33. > :03:34.This is historically highly unusual because over
:03:35. > :03:44.a long period of time, for 100 years, life expectancy has
:03:45. > :03:46.been improving, year on year in Britain, as it has in many,
:03:47. > :03:54.And now it has slowed, it's almost flat, which means that
:03:55. > :03:57.we've fallen behind some of the healthier countries.
:03:58. > :04:02.He says it's not possible to say exactly what had caused it
:04:03. > :04:05.but he says austerity could be a factor and funding
:04:06. > :04:11.for the NHS and social care in particular had been miserly.
:04:12. > :04:13.Dementia is also likely to have played a role.
:04:14. > :04:16.The Department of Health says it's providing funding to ensure life
:04:17. > :04:18.expectancy continues to rise and the ageing population
:04:19. > :04:27.Theresa May has told Tory MPs and ministers to end
:04:28. > :04:29.the "backbiting" that has split the party since
:04:30. > :04:32.During an event last night, the Prime Minister also
:04:33. > :04:35.warned her MPs that the alternative to her in Number 10
:04:36. > :04:42.Alex Forsyth is in Westminster for us this morning.
:04:43. > :04:47.The cab neats later, Alex, and you know, there seems to be a clear
:04:48. > :04:51.message here, from Theresa May, isn't there. Yes, because in the
:04:52. > :04:54.past few days in particular, the newspapers have been filled with
:04:55. > :04:58.reports about briefings, gossip, leaked details of what is being said
:04:59. > :05:01.within the Conservative Party. Etch at the most senior levels of
:05:02. > :05:05.Government round the Cabinet table, so Theresa May has reportedly said
:05:06. > :05:09.to MP, this has to stop. It has been going on since the election, which
:05:10. > :05:14.left Theresa May's authority somewhat weakened, and she is
:05:15. > :05:19.leading a party which is divided on keyish us like Brexit. So there is a
:05:20. > :05:23.lot of positioning not least from some of those who have an eye on
:05:24. > :05:26.what might happen when Theresa May is no longer the leader. Aware of
:05:27. > :05:32.this the Prime Minister last night said to MPs no more carping, no more
:05:33. > :05:35.back biting, go off and have a break and come back in the autumn and get
:05:36. > :05:39.on with the serious business of government. We understand she will
:05:40. > :05:42.say something similar when the Cabinet meeting happens later on
:05:43. > :05:45.this morning, telling minister there's that the discussions they
:05:46. > :05:50.have must remain private. This is Theresa May trying to reassert her
:05:51. > :05:54.authority and restore some discipline to the party. She will
:05:55. > :05:58.hope to stop some of these internal battles being played out in public,
:05:59. > :06:03.but she won't be able to stop them all together. Thank you.
:06:04. > :06:05.We will speak to the Home Secretary about that and other matters later
:06:06. > :06:09.on. In about 25 minutes time. The cost of insuring a car has risen
:06:10. > :06:12.to its highest ever level. The Association of British Insurers

:06:38. > :06:46.Tom Symonds, has more. This is the sharp end of the battle
:06:47. > :06:50.against knife crime in Britain. Police in Birmingham

:07:12. > :07:18.if you are under 18, 16 in Scotland. But some young people
:07:19. > :07:20.are getting them delivered. The plan is to change the law
:07:21. > :07:25.so knives purchased have to be Some types of knives cannot even be
:07:26. > :07:32.sold or passed around. Police may also get stronger
:07:33. > :07:37.powers to seize them. We want to make sure that we extend
:07:38. > :07:40.the power of police, to take away these dangerous knives
:07:41. > :07:45.and to make them less available to young people, so we can start
:07:46. > :07:48.to break that cycle of danger and of violence that's
:07:49. > :07:51.so blighting communities. After all, police reported knife

:10:29. > :11:41.That was a great moment with the Chelsea Pensioner. Good morning and
:11:42. > :11:46.huge brilliant congratulations, well done. Thank you. How are you? I am
:11:47. > :11:51.good. It was interesting for the first couple of days after I
:11:52. > :11:55.finished, I was still full of energy and then it is only more now I
:11:56. > :12:03.started to relax, I feel I'm a bit tired. It was a long five weeks. How
:12:04. > :12:07.wear were you, it is five weeks for you, how aware were you during that
:12:08. > :12:12.fortnight of the intense interest of how much love you were getting from
:12:13. > :12:17.the crowd, from everybody reading The Papers and everybody watching
:12:18. > :12:21.you at home? Well, I think I was mostly wear of the amazing support I
:12:22. > :12:26.was getting on the court on Centre Court, Court One, I mean, when you
:12:27. > :12:30.hear so many people really cheering for you, hoping for you, it does
:12:31. > :12:34.give you goose bumps. It is overwhelming. I tried to obviously
:12:35. > :12:40.keep myself in a bubble as enough as possible, in terms of media and
:12:41. > :12:45.trying not to read too many paper, watch too much news and try to relax
:12:46. > :12:53.away from the court, but definitely, I felt the love. In that situation,
:12:54. > :12:56.so you are on, you are on Ken terse court, breaking records, reaching
:12:57. > :13:00.the semifinals, you can hear the crowd roaring for you, it is hard to
:13:01. > :13:06.control yourself not to fist pump and try and get the crowd behind you
:13:07. > :13:10.more, you have a job to do. It's a fine line, for me, obviously, there
:13:11. > :13:15.is a focus that I need to have to make sure I that I am focussing o on
:13:16. > :13:20.what I am trying to chee, my game plan but there is another elm of
:13:21. > :13:25.Andy talks about this, using the crowd and using their emotion, but
:13:26. > :13:29.it is when you step up for a match point or a break point, and they are
:13:30. > :13:33.cheering for you, you, it does catch you bait. I do feel it. I want to
:13:34. > :13:38.ask you about that, exactly. The points moment. You have a love
:13:39. > :13:44.little routine, don't you. Before every point. Just talk us through
:13:45. > :13:48.that. It remind me a little tiny bit of Jonny Wilkinson about the take a
:13:49. > :13:55.kick. What is that about, how does it work for you? I guess with every
:13:56. > :14:03.athlete routine is a habit and it is something that you create to deal
:14:04. > :14:06.with stress, to deal with also being present, it is interesting, I know
:14:07. > :14:11.my ball toss and the way I bounce the ball. It is something that
:14:12. > :14:16.developed. I don't, I don't remember ever like learning it or developing
:14:17. > :14:21.it. It is slow and deliberate. And I have seen it in slo-mo, how the ball
:14:22. > :14:26.is turning in my hand. I think don't think about it because I will mess
:14:27. > :14:32.it up. It is second nature. And that sort of is what has to happen. Also,
:14:33. > :14:36.I mean watching you, you just have nerves of steel. That is what it
:14:37. > :14:40.appeared to me. How do you get to that point? Are you thinking about
:14:41. > :14:46.each individual point or how do you hold it like that? Well, for me it
:14:47. > :14:49.was always about keeping things in really good perspective, for me it
:14:50. > :14:56.was being clear on the game plan, that I want to execute out there,
:14:57. > :15:01.that keeps it on a working mind set, and then, keeping things in good
:15:02. > :15:07.perspective, when you know, I'm on a big stage, I'm in front of a massive
:15:08. > :15:12.crowd. I feel lucky, fortunate, so to really make sure I also cherish
:15:13. > :15:19.each moment I get to experience. Garbine Muguruza went on the win
:15:20. > :15:23.Wimbledon, beating Venus, have you watched that final or... I didn't. I
:15:24. > :15:33.was out. I was following and I heard it was a great first set.
:15:34. > :15:40.Venus started producing error after error. Did part you think why
:15:41. > :15:47.couldn't she do that against me in the finals and do you think OK next
:15:48. > :15:51.time I will add this to my game? I will work on a backhand slice or a
:15:52. > :15:58.booed serve to take you on an extra level? After each match and each
:15:59. > :16:03.opponent, I definitely do, we do talk about with my team, they look
:16:04. > :16:08.back what I can do better next time in the same situation or adapt it to
:16:09. > :16:12.a different opponent. It is the case with Venus. I have played her a few
:16:13. > :16:15.times this year already and last year. I knew going into the match
:16:16. > :16:18.that she was going to bring her A game. I wasn't surprised with the
:16:19. > :16:22.level that she was playing at and she was playing so well already that
:16:23. > :16:25.championships. Next time there is a couple of things I want to do
:16:26. > :16:28.better, but there is sometimes things on the day where your
:16:29. > :16:34.opponent just plays that much better. That's part of the game. We
:16:35. > :16:39.last spoke in March, April time. We filmed with you and filmed training
:16:40. > :16:42.and saw all the hard work that goes into what everyone sees when you
:16:43. > :16:47.come out on court at Wimbledon. In that time, from then until now, how
:16:48. > :16:52.much has your life changed? Can you walk down the street? Do people
:16:53. > :16:56.recognise you? I think on the back of Wimbledon and during Wimbledon I
:16:57. > :17:00.get recognised much more and I was just in Liverpool yesterday, I was
:17:01. > :17:04.doing fitness testing and I got recognised in Liverpool! I thought,
:17:05. > :17:10.I didn't think I would! I was like, "Oh wow, this has really become
:17:11. > :17:14.quite national." It's really humbling because the, I mean it's
:17:15. > :17:18.only ever support that I get and when people come up, it's always
:17:19. > :17:23.congratulating me and so it's a nice feeling. So you're number four, come
:17:24. > :17:27.on, number one? Well, I'm working towards that. That's something I
:17:28. > :17:31.have always wanted to achieve. So, but yeah, I'm going to be working
:17:32. > :17:35.towards being the best. The US Open is the next major coming up, isn't
:17:36. > :17:40.it? It is. High hopes? Well, definitely. I go into every event
:17:41. > :17:44.trying to be involved until the very last match. That's a hard court.
:17:45. > :17:50.That's your favourite surface? I don't have a favourite surface, but
:17:51. > :17:54.I have played results wise a little bit better on the hard courts
:17:55. > :17:57.recently. We have a treat for you. You know you were talking about
:17:58. > :18:06.muffins. Did you really cook muffins? I did. I baked... Are the
:18:07. > :18:11.muffins alive? Throughout the whole tournament you were baking. Sally
:18:12. > :18:16.has been baking for you. What's your recipe, raspberry and white
:18:17. > :18:21.chocolate? I made a chocolate and banana one, white chocolate and
:18:22. > :18:28.raspberry one. Sally, can you unveil it? White chocolate and raspberry.
:18:29. > :18:36.Excuse me. It is rather tight this tin! Hold on! You jammed it on.
:18:37. > :18:42.LAUGHTER This is going so well! Would you
:18:43. > :18:48.like to take these muffins away with you? They are beautiful. Ah, thank
:18:49. > :18:52.you. You're so welcome. You entertained us so well. It has been
:18:53. > :18:56.a brilliant experience to watch you go through Wimbledon. Careful with
:18:57. > :19:02.that lid! Thank you. Lovely to see you.
:19:03. > :19:09.Jo will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of Dorothy Round. She won
:19:10. > :19:14.Wimbledon twice in 1934, 1937 and I did not know this, she happens to be
:19:15. > :19:21.related to Matt. Matt, tell us about her!
:19:22. > :19:25.Yes, she is my gran's cousin. She won the Australian Open and was a
:19:26. > :19:37.semifinalist at the US Open as well. Taking three mixed doubles titles at
:19:38. > :19:44.Wimbledon too. So there you go! STUDIO: Do you want to tell us about
:19:45. > :19:50.the weather. We got distracted. I will do, yes. I am a failed
:19:51. > :19:56.sportsman and failed Mr D'Arcy as well. We are in the ground of Jane
:19:57. > :20:00.Austen's former home in Hampshire. Today is the 200th anniversary of
:20:01. > :20:07.her death of the she was won of the world's most popular writers of
:20:08. > :20:13.regency fiction. Her books rich in comedy, romance, satire and wit and
:20:14. > :20:16.walking amongst the beautiful fragrances of the garden, many of
:20:17. > :20:20.the plants back in her time were around. You can understand where the
:20:21. > :20:25.romance bit came from. In many of the films depicting her novels, it
:20:26. > :20:30.rains. The women are always carrying the sun parasols. It was always
:20:31. > :20:34.fine. Maybe the sun par polls will come in handy today. Not only will
:20:35. > :20:38.it be a sunny day, but it will be a warm one as well. Before we start to
:20:39. > :20:41.see some thunderstorms develop across the south later on. Now, to
:20:42. > :20:44.start with, most are dry. The best of the sunshine the further north
:20:45. > :20:48.you are. More cloud in the south. The thunderstorms are already in
:20:49. > :20:51.northern parts of France pushing towards the Channel Islands and by
:20:52. > :20:55.the end of the afternoon they will be across southern most counties of
:20:56. > :20:59.England. Most though will continue with the dry weather and even a
:21:00. > :21:04.better day to come across Orkney and Shetland compared to yesterday with
:21:05. > :21:07.the cloud breaking up the sunshine and temperatures in Northern
:21:08. > :21:11.Scotland could peak at 27 Celsius. Not far behind that as well in
:21:12. > :21:15.Northern Ireland, a difference through eastern parts of England.
:21:16. > :21:19.More of an easterly breeze developing and that will stop the
:21:20. > :21:25.rise in temperature a bit. You have to come to the western side of
:21:26. > :21:30.England, where temperatures will peak at the highest. As you can see
:21:31. > :21:33.from the charts, some isolated, but intense thunderstorms will move in
:21:34. > :21:38.later on. Many lightening storms to begin with, but they will turn to
:21:39. > :21:42.torrential storms too with some hail and gusty winds with them as well.
:21:43. > :21:46.As we finish the day they will move in across other parts of southern
:21:47. > :21:51.England and into Wales, the Midlands and across parts of East Anglia too.
:21:52. > :21:55.Some of the storms could daus some minor flooding. Not everyone will
:21:56. > :21:59.see them. So don't take the position of showers on the charts too
:22:00. > :22:04.literally, but tomorrow will start on a much muggier note than today.
:22:05. > :22:08.Some of the heaviest of the rain to start Wednesday, likely to be across
:22:09. > :22:13.parts of North Wales and the North Midlands and into northern England.
:22:14. > :22:17.Very much hit and miss. Some of the most prolonged downpours could be in
:22:18. > :22:22.Northern Ireland. What you will notice tomorrow, when the sun comes
:22:23. > :22:27.out how hot and humid it will be. Temperatures in eastern parts in
:22:28. > :22:31.England tomorrow to peak at 31 or 32 Celsius. Always more cloud towards
:22:32. > :22:34.the south-west. That could spark off afternoon storms across England and
:22:35. > :22:39.Wales. They will rumble on into the night, moving off into the North Sea
:22:40. > :22:43.for Thursday, but for Thursday we have brighten skies again. A few
:22:44. > :22:47.showers in the west later on, but it will be a big temperature change for
:22:48. > :22:52.many. Temperatures down a great deal after what we will see through
:22:53. > :22:57.today. Temperatures and tomorrow, in the high 20s, maybe low 30s. By
:22:58. > :23:00.Thursday, we are talking low 20s. At the very best for many of you.
:23:01. > :23:01.That's how it's looking from this growerious setting, it is back to
:23:02. > :23:10.you both in Salford. Matt, thank you very much. Lovely to
:23:11. > :23:17.hear about your cousin as well. Grandmother's cousin. Isn't that a
:23:18. > :23:23.cousin of his? No. You weren't listening, were you? I
:23:24. > :23:30.count those as cousins. OK, well, your rules normally apply.
:23:31. > :23:33.If you miss something in Breakfast like that if you came in half-way
:23:34. > :23:36.through, you can catch up on the iplayer, it is available throughout
:23:37. > :23:40.the day. You can go back and watch it again. So she joined us about
:23:41. > :23:44.8.10am. Almost ?20 million has been
:23:45. > :23:47.raised for the victims of the Grenfell Tower fire
:23:48. > :23:50.and 40,000 boxes of goods have been donated, but just ?500,000 of that
:23:51. > :23:52.has so far been distributed There are concerns that
:23:53. > :24:00.much of the money isn't reaching the people
:24:01. > :24:02.who need it quickly enough. The Grenfell Fire Response Team says
:24:03. > :24:05.the total amount of financial assistance provided so far totals
:24:06. > :24:07.more than ?5 million. Some of the items we've
:24:08. > :24:12.had through have been This is the Grenfell Tower Fire
:24:13. > :24:21.Appeal in action, a Red Cross Donations in the green bags will be
:24:22. > :24:28.sold in Red Cross shops. Brand-new items will go straight
:24:29. > :24:35.back to survivors of the fire It's about turning all the different
:24:36. > :24:40.donations we've had into cash which automatically will then go
:24:41. > :24:45.to the appeal. To appreciate the scale
:24:46. > :24:49.of donations, you had to fly through this London warehouse a week
:24:50. > :24:53.after the fire. It's estimated 174 tonnes
:24:54. > :25:00.of stuff was donated. So far they have sorted half of it,
:25:01. > :25:03.and ten tonnes has gone No amount of money is enough for
:25:04. > :25:11.the loved ones of those who died. Research by the BBC shows that
:25:12. > :25:14.several appeals and charities have Some question why only a small part
:25:15. > :25:22.of that has made it through. We feel that it's betraying
:25:23. > :25:28.the public's generosity because they gave money to help
:25:29. > :25:34.directly those who were affected and we're not too clear
:25:35. > :25:36.that it's happening. It's like there's a filter
:25:37. > :25:37.and organisations rather than individuals are getting
:25:38. > :25:39.the financial support. Charities say the complexity
:25:40. > :25:42.and the scale of what happened The thing about these things that
:25:43. > :25:50.we've learnt from the 7/7 attacks and indeed from the response
:25:51. > :25:52.to the Manchester attacks, is that it takes longer
:25:53. > :25:55.than you might think for people to come forward to
:25:56. > :26:00.seek their funding. I have forgiven, you know,
:26:01. > :26:06.the bombers who did this to me... Thelma Stober lost her left foot
:26:07. > :26:10.in the London 7/7 bombings. She received money
:26:11. > :26:12.donated by the public. I used it to get myself daily
:26:13. > :26:19.physiotherapy support at home. My determination was to walk again
:26:20. > :26:21.as I was told the chances It took 15 months to distribute
:26:22. > :26:26.all the money raised for victims Thelma is now a trustee
:26:27. > :26:35.of the London Emergency Trust. It's distributing ?4.8 million
:26:36. > :26:39.of the Grenfell appeal. So far, 16 people have
:26:40. > :26:42.received payments. You're in a state
:26:43. > :26:44.of total confusion. A lot of people are suffering
:26:45. > :26:47.from post-traumatic stress. You're trying to understand what has
:26:48. > :26:50.happened, the implications for your life going forward,
:26:51. > :26:53.is changed forever. Even here, in rural Cheshire,
:26:54. > :26:56.what happened in a London tower I can't watch it on TV now.
:26:57. > :27:02.You know, it makes you cry. It's emotional even now,
:27:03. > :27:05.just the thought of what's yet to be Whether donating an old top
:27:06. > :27:10.or a tenner, people The challenge for charities
:27:11. > :27:14.is ensuring it all benefits those For more information on where
:27:15. > :27:23.the Grenfell money has gone, you can go to bbc.co.uk/realitycheck
:27:24. > :27:26.or follow them on Twitter Time now to get the news,
:27:27. > :27:45.travel and weather where you are. There are more details on the
:27:46. > :31:13.website. I'll be back in 30 minutes. Hello, this is Breakfast
:31:14. > :31:17.with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. In the first six months of this
:31:18. > :31:21.year, 24 people under the age of 25 This increasing tide of knife crime
:31:22. > :31:27.in the capital has led one emergency doctor to say stabbings are now more
:31:28. > :31:30.common than appendicitis. The Government says it wants
:31:31. > :31:33.to restrict the sale of knives online, in an attempt to reduce
:31:34. > :31:36.young people's access to them. The Home Secretary, Amber Rudd,
:31:37. > :31:47.joins us from Westminster. Good morning. Thank you for coming
:31:48. > :31:52.on the programme this morning. Just to reiterate this statistic that
:31:53. > :31:56.Louise mentioned, 24 people under the age of 25, January until June,
:31:57. > :31:59.have been fatally stabbed in the capital. How do we stop people
:32:00. > :32:04.getting hold of these knives and committing these crimes? We are
:32:05. > :32:08.introducing a series of measures to do just that. The fact is, young
:32:09. > :32:12.people have been accessing these knives by ordering them online and
:32:13. > :32:15.having them sent to an adult's address. We want to stop that. What
:32:16. > :32:19.we are consulting on is making sure that if people order a knife, they
:32:20. > :32:24.have to prove their age by actually going to collect it. That is one
:32:25. > :32:29.measure. Another measure is that we have already banned a certain type
:32:30. > :32:35.of the most vicious type of knives, zombie knives, and we are extending
:32:36. > :32:38.the ban to private places. If police going to a house and see those
:32:39. > :32:42.knives, they can take them. The third element, that I think
:32:43. > :32:46.addresses your question, we are announcing a community fund of
:32:47. > :32:52.?500,000 so that community groups can bid into the group and how
:32:53. > :32:56.programmes going in and talking to people, trying to address why they
:32:57. > :32:59.think they need to carry a knife. It is carrying a knife that creates
:33:00. > :33:03.these dreadful situations. We want to make sure we get in early with
:33:04. > :33:06.early intervention for young people. That is what the police and amenity
:33:07. > :33:11.groups tell me is the best way to address this problem. But it is so
:33:12. > :33:14.often culture, and it is a status symbol. On zombie knives, if
:33:15. > :33:18.somebody wants one of those, you can't prevent them from getting
:33:19. > :33:25.somebody else to do them? Well, they are illegal. You can only get one by
:33:26. > :33:27.ordering from out of the country and having it sent to you. That is
:33:28. > :33:31.something the police onto and make sure that they stop it. The action
:33:32. > :33:34.we are taking today is to make sure that if people have them in a
:33:35. > :33:38.private house, the police can take it off them. You are right, this is
:33:39. > :33:47.about status. Yesterday I went and joined the police on one of their
:33:48. > :33:51.initiatives, Operation Sector, and they showed me a table full of the
:33:52. > :33:55.knives they had collected. They are extraordinary, some of them. The
:33:56. > :34:03.zombie knives, a form of a flick knife, all sorts of variety. We want
:34:04. > :34:08.to make sure it is much more difficult to get those knives and
:34:09. > :34:12.we're starting on that today. Can I also ask you about acid attacks?
:34:13. > :34:14.There is currently a four year sentence for those caught in
:34:15. > :34:19.possession of acid. We have seen what it has done to peoples faces
:34:20. > :34:23.and lives. Is it enough of a deterrent? I don't think it is, I we
:34:24. > :34:27.should have further sentencing guidelines to make sure they have
:34:28. > :34:30.more severe penalties. The fact is, where somebody receives an acid
:34:31. > :34:34.attack, quite often they have a sentence for life. I think that is
:34:35. > :34:37.what Richard Howarth, potentially, for the people committing these
:34:38. > :34:40.dreadful acts. There was more we can do as well, we are going to be
:34:41. > :34:44.working with retailers to make sure they do more to make sure that the
:34:45. > :34:49.type of substance that can be sold, that might not just be sulphuric
:34:50. > :34:53.acid, but other types of acid, is less likely to land in the hands of
:34:54. > :34:57.young people, and we're working with the Crown Prosecution Service,
:34:58. > :35:03.particularly on sentencing. Let's talk about your party, you smile, it
:35:04. > :35:06.could be a frosty cabinet meeting later on. For clarity, are there
:35:07. > :35:12.people in the Cabinet that are briefing against the Prime Minister?
:35:13. > :35:17.I don't think so. For clarity, what I can tell you is that in our
:35:18. > :35:22.cabinet meetings we have a frank discussion and then we agree a
:35:23. > :35:26.position and we stick to it. What I see in Cabinet is a group of Cabinet
:35:27. > :35:29.members that are very committed to their jobs, coming out, like I am
:35:30. > :35:34.today, getting on with their jobs, and making sure they can deliver on
:35:35. > :35:37.the Prime Minister's agenda. I have read the papers and I have seen that
:35:38. > :35:41.there are other things going on as well. But it is not my experience
:35:42. > :35:44.when I sit in the Cabinet room. The Prime Minister is referring to what
:35:45. > :35:48.happens outside the Cabinet room, and according to these reports, and
:35:49. > :35:52.there are many of them, there will be a number of people, the likes of,
:35:53. > :35:55.if the reports are to be believed, Boris Johnson, David Davis, Michael
:35:56. > :36:03.Gove, that might be looking at the floor during the Cabinet meeting
:36:04. > :36:06.today? Well, we have not had it yet, so we will wait and see. I think the
:36:07. > :36:09.Prime Minister is absolutely right to make the point that what is said
:36:10. > :36:12.in Cabinet should stay in the Cabinet. That is the only way we are
:36:13. > :36:14.going to have really fruitful, frank discussions and arrive at decisions
:36:15. > :36:18.in the best interests of the country. Would you support the Prime
:36:19. > :36:22.Minister if she sacked somebody for briefing against her? You are taking
:36:23. > :36:26.me to far there. I will leave it to the Prime Minister. Today I think we
:36:27. > :36:29.are just going to hear more about making sure there is more security
:36:30. > :36:33.around our discussions in the Cabinet. I don't understand why that
:36:34. > :36:37.is taking you to far. If this is a problem and you have read the
:36:38. > :36:40.reports... I do need to comment on what the Prime Minister is going to
:36:41. > :36:44.do. You are the Home Secretary, and asking if you would support her if
:36:45. > :36:50.she did that. I'm not going to speculate. On whether she would do
:36:51. > :36:53.that or if you would support her? On either. I support the Prime
:36:54. > :36:57.Minister, I see Cabinet ministers getting on with doing their job.
:36:58. > :37:04.That is what I hope we will all continue to do. I hope you enjoyed
:37:05. > :37:10.meeting. It could be fun! -- I hope you enjoy the meeting.
:37:11. > :37:20.Improvement in life inspected -- expectancy has levelled off.
:37:21. > :37:22.Professor Sir Michael Marmot, from University College London,
:37:23. > :37:25.suggests the change could be linked to rising rates of dementia.

:45:48. > :45:49.somewhere this week? Perhaps you travelled
:45:50. > :45:51.by rail this morning. If so, did it arrive
:45:52. > :45:54.and leave on time? Delays can be a bugbear for any
:45:55. > :45:58.commuter, but in an effort to improve the service,
:45:59. > :46:01.rail firms are going to use Let's find out more
:46:02. > :46:10.from Paul Plummer, who's the chief executive of the Rail Delivery
:46:11. > :46:21.Group. You will be quite exact about this.
:46:22. > :46:25.Working together, the train companies have taken the initiative,
:46:26. > :46:30.we are leading the way to produce the most transparent measures of
:46:31. > :46:34.performance. Instead of measuring at destination, we measured at each
:46:35. > :46:41.station. Instead of to five or ten minutes, we measure it to the
:46:42. > :46:48.minute. Where will people be able to see the data? On the rail delivery
:46:49. > :46:54.group website, and progressively over individual train operators'
:46:55. > :46:58.website. And you can get the information on various apps about
:46:59. > :47:01.your journey. It is great to have the information, but what will you
:47:02. > :47:10.do with it? Will it improve punctuality? By getting the extra
:47:11. > :47:15.focus, to know that every minute counts, we expect it will help us to
:47:16. > :47:19.improve punctuality. But we have to continue to invest in the railway
:47:20. > :47:24.and infrastructure, after decades of underinvestment. We have to do it
:47:25. > :47:30.all together to achieve the improvement. If there is a train
:47:31. > :47:35.line or a particular service that is always late, what will you do? That
:47:36. > :47:42.is the beauty of having the greater transparency, highlighted to
:47:43. > :47:46.everybody. At the moment the information is five or ten minutes
:47:47. > :47:52.late, and this can give us the extra focus, and it will be reflected
:47:53. > :47:56.progressively in target set for franchise companies and Network
:47:57. > :48:05.Rail. If there is a service that is continually late, what can customers
:48:06. > :48:09.do? Can you make companies improve? We are already the most transparent
:48:10. > :48:15.railway in Europe, and this makes us much more transparent. That helps
:48:16. > :48:17.provide the extra focus and discipline that everybody wants to
:48:18. > :48:22.deliver for customers, every single day.
:48:23. > :48:26.It's 200 years since the death of Jane Austen,
:48:27. > :48:30.one of the country's best-loved authors.
:48:31. > :48:33.Matt's in Hampshire for us this morning, where they're
:48:34. > :48:43.remembering her life with Pride, and perhaps some Prejudice.
:48:44. > :48:51.It is an honour to be here, not only is it the 200th anniversary of her
:48:52. > :48:57.death, it is an important day, because the Royal Mint is launching
:48:58. > :49:02.its special ?2 coin, with the silhouette of Jane Austen's head on
:49:03. > :49:08.it. Later on a ?10 note with a similar thing will be launched by
:49:09. > :49:18.the Bank of England. Let's talk more about the woman herself, we are in
:49:19. > :49:22.her former home. Tell us a bit more about the property behind us. This
:49:23. > :49:25.was the home of Jane Austen for the last eight years of her life, she
:49:26. > :49:32.lived with her sister Cassandra, their mother and their friend. If I
:49:33. > :49:35.am not mistaken, there is a bit of dispute, that quite a lot of her
:49:36. > :49:40.work was either finished or written from scratch here? She completed
:49:41. > :49:44.pride and prejudice and sense and sensibility here and went on to
:49:45. > :49:51.draft and publish Mansfield Park and Emma and capital at the Micro
:49:52. > :49:57.persuasion. We saw the writing tip, very small. It is tiny. You have a
:49:58. > :50:04.special exhibition taking place to honour her life and 200 years since
:50:05. > :50:08.her death. Each week we are profiling a different object in the
:50:09. > :50:15.collection, which tells a story of Jane Austen's life. We mentioned the
:50:16. > :50:20.?2 coin, and also the ?10 note. It is a big thing for Jane Austen fans.
:50:21. > :50:24.It is a really fitting tribute to a national icon. Thank you for letting
:50:25. > :50:37.us roam around house. A glorious start here. The fragrance
:50:38. > :50:40.of the flowers is stunning. We are seeing more clout in the skies above
:50:41. > :50:46.us compare to earlier. It will not threaten to much at the moment, but
:50:47. > :50:54.there will be thunderstorms across the South. For the rest of us, it is
:50:55. > :50:59.a sunny start. There is more cloud across Orkney and Shetland, but it
:51:00. > :51:03.will break up. The thunderstorms are across northern France at the
:51:04. > :51:06.moment, they will push across the English Channel, effectively Channel
:51:07. > :51:13.Islands, and Southern counties of England. The further north you are,
:51:14. > :51:24.away from the patchy cloud across Shetland, most will have strong or
:51:25. > :51:28.very strong sunshine overhead. A big difference with England, more of an
:51:29. > :51:33.easterly breeze. Eastern counties are not quite as hot as yesterday,
:51:34. > :51:36.but still very warm. You have to come to the western side of England
:51:37. > :51:45.and Wales to see the peak of the heat.
:51:46. > :51:54.You can see the storms, very hit and miss. Do not treat the position of
:51:55. > :51:58.them too literally, they are sporadic across the South. They will
:51:59. > :52:05.come with lightning and torrential rain, gusty wind, maybe some minor
:52:06. > :52:09.flooding as they drift north. Many in the northern half will stay dry,
:52:10. > :52:15.but it will be an increasingly muddy field. Very sticky to start tomorrow
:52:16. > :52:19.morning. Potentially severe storms across northern Wales, the North
:52:20. > :52:24.Midlands and northern England first thing. They will drift into Scotland
:52:25. > :52:28.and Northern Ireland. Low cloud towards the far south-west. Much of
:52:29. > :52:36.England and Wales has bright weather and the sunshine. Tomorrow is even
:52:37. > :52:40.hotter. We could be up to 31 or 32 for Lincolnshire and northern East
:52:41. > :52:48.Anglia. It will set off further storms. They will push off into the
:52:49. > :52:54.North Sea for Thursday, lingering across eastern coasts. Elsewhere,
:52:55. > :52:58.sunny conditions develop, a few showers in the West, but compared
:52:59. > :53:08.with today and tomorrow it will feel fresher. Who will have lost the low
:53:09. > :53:12.30s. A week of two halves, with some very nasty storms. Have a lovely
:53:13. > :53:24.day. A lovely garden.
:53:25. > :53:25.We have been talking about advertising stereotypes.
:53:26. > :53:29.A woman's place is in the kitchen and it's down to the man
:53:30. > :53:32.Just two gender stereotypes that still, all too often,
:53:33. > :53:34.appear in literature and on our TV screens.
:53:35. > :53:38.So are advertisers doing enough to tackle such ways of thinking?
:53:39. > :53:42.It's calling for tougher regulations to tackle the issue.
:53:43. > :53:51.So let's have a look at some examples that we've mocked up.
:53:52. > :53:54.This shows a family creating a mess, but it is up
:53:55. > :54:06.In this one, a man is trying, but failing, to cook.
:54:07. > :54:12.Here the boy plays football as the girl watches on.
:54:13. > :54:15.The Advertising Standards Authority believes such stereotypes
:54:16. > :54:28.are damaging, because they can limit a person's aspirations.
:54:29. > :54:36.What is the pop with this kind of stereotyping? It can have a real
:54:37. > :54:41.impact on how we see ourselves and how other people see us. It can lead
:54:42. > :54:47.us to have a narrower sense of what we can achieve, but how we should
:54:48. > :54:51.behave, whether we should show our emotions, whether we should go for
:54:52. > :54:57.jobs in engineering. That can have an impact. On individuals and the
:54:58. > :55:01.economy. In terms of what we will and won't see, will you ban adverts
:55:02. > :55:10.that see a woman doing the cleaning in the home, or a man failing in the
:55:11. > :55:15.kitchen? I could not see the mocked up example that you showed, so I
:55:16. > :55:20.cannot comment, but it is important that people understand we are not
:55:21. > :55:27.planning adverts that show a woman cleaning or a man doing DIY, we are
:55:28. > :55:34.bringing in tougher standards to tackle adverts that go further than
:55:35. > :55:38.that, which imply, for example, that the family trash the house and it is
:55:39. > :55:44.the woman's chopper to tidy up after them, or that it is inappropriate
:55:45. > :55:52.for girls to play with boys' toys, or vice versa. Did you think it will
:55:53. > :56:00.make a difference? What is your response to the accusation that they
:56:01. > :56:04.kiss little correctness gone mad? These are important issues. Of
:56:05. > :56:09.course, advertising is only one part of the picture, but it is a part of
:56:10. > :56:13.the picture. We have a lot of companies worldwide that are already
:56:14. > :56:19.on to this. If you weeks ago UN women and Unilever announced the
:56:20. > :56:23.launch of an initiative, and some of the biggest companies in the world
:56:24. > :56:26.are signed up, so there is a lot of good stuff going on, and we think
:56:27. > :56:35.what we are doing is going to complement that nicely. It is not
:56:36. > :56:39.political correctness gone mad? We have got to make difficult judgments
:56:40. > :56:43.about whether or not an advert is reflecting the reality of what
:56:44. > :56:47.happens in day-to-day life, lots of women do the shopping, lots of men
:56:48. > :56:51.do the DIY, but there is a difference between an advert that
:56:52. > :56:55.represents that and an advert that goes further and reinforces that
:56:56. > :57:01.that is the way, the role, the behaviour that men or women, boys or
:57:02. > :57:05.goals, should be exhibiting. You mentioned a couple of companies, how
:57:06. > :57:13.will this go down with them? Mostly supportive. The majority of the
:57:14. > :57:16.industry gets it and knows that some of the adverts that have appeared
:57:17. > :57:22.that reinforce these harmful stereotypes need to stop. But some
:57:23. > :57:26.need a bit of a push. We are not trying to catch companies out,
:57:27. > :57:31.people do a lot of work to put more flesh on the bones, so that
:57:32. > :57:34.companies know what is likely to be the right side of the line and what
:57:35. > :57:43.is not. When will the regulations come into force? Is there a date in
:57:44. > :57:47.mind? We are working on the detailed standards, in the next few months,
:57:48. > :57:51.we will look to launch those at the beginning of 2018 or thereabouts,
:57:52. > :57:57.and then we will administer and enforce the rules. I hope through
:57:58. > :58:03.advice and training we can help advertisers get their adverts right
:58:04. > :58:08.before they run them. There are a lot more adverts these
:58:09. > :58:12.days with anonymous hands in them. You don't know if it is a man or a
:58:13. > :58:16.woman. You were making a drink, disappeared! The rest of us were
:58:17. > :58:20.having a chat! I missed that chat!
:58:21. > :58:28.There were a childhood creation that gained worldwide attention, photos
:58:29. > :58:32.that apparently showed fairies at the bottom of a garden.
:58:33. > :58:34.They have since been described as an elaborate hoax, but for some they
:58:35. > :58:44.still have a magic to them. I am Christine Lynch,
:58:45. > :58:46.the daughter of Frances Griffiths, the little girl in the Cottingley
:58:47. > :58:50.photos that everyone has seen. The photograph with the five little
:58:51. > :58:58.fairies in front of her. 100 years since that
:58:59. > :59:07.photograph was taken. It is a strange feeling,
:59:08. > :59:14.holding these glass plates of little It was her cousin Elsie who took
:59:15. > :59:19.them, and years later It was for Elsie a bit of fun,
:59:20. > :59:30.but not for Frances Griffiths. She was a very honest person,
:59:31. > :59:32.and she really said And the pictures taken by the stream
:59:33. > :59:39.in 1917 caused a sensation. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,
:59:40. > :59:42.author of Sherlock Holmes, thought they were proof that
:59:43. > :59:46.fairies really existed. When the hoax was revealed,
:59:47. > :59:49.Frances was upset. Suddenly everyone thought that
:59:50. > :59:52.all of it was made up. What they ignored was that Frances
:59:53. > :59:56.maintained she had seen fairies, and that this photograph
:59:57. > :00:09.was not a fake. She couldn't understand why she did
:00:10. > :00:14.not think it was genuine. Are you not embarrassed to say
:00:15. > :00:16.I believe in fairies? No, because I do believe
:00:17. > :00:18.they are genuine. This is the actual
:00:19. > :00:21.garden, then, is it? An artist, Luke Horsman,
:00:22. > :00:26.bought it just over a year ago. Did you know about the fairies
:00:27. > :00:29.when you bought the house? It really is quite magical down
:00:30. > :00:37.here, and nothing has You can see exactly what would have
:00:38. > :00:45.inspired the imagination The fairy mania they inspired
:00:46. > :00:50.seems like another age. However, 100 years on,
:00:51. > :00:53.belief has not disappeared. A professor of arts took
:00:54. > :00:56.these pictures of what he When he displayed them, people
:00:57. > :01:02.from around the world were convinced I was getting fairies
:01:03. > :01:09.from Peru being sent to me, from Finland, from Israel,
:01:10. > :01:10.from Australia, people sending Yes, people who have had encounters,
:01:11. > :01:19.and are sending us pictures So, for most of us, Cottingley
:01:20. > :01:25.is a picture of a hoax, All these years, these fake
:01:26. > :01:35.photographs were believed, that genuine article,
:01:36. > :01:42.has been hanging here all that time, A secret world that only
:01:43. > :01:48.a few of us can see. 100 years on, belief
:01:49. > :02:04.is still very with us. Thank you to those of you who have
:02:05. > :02:08.been sending in photographs of areas that you have taken, or perhaps they
:02:09. > :02:13.are just a trick of the camera? We will leave it up to you to decide.
:02:14. > :02:19.John in Cheshire sent this photograph of his daughter-in-law
:02:20. > :02:27.and grandchild. That is a daddy-longlegs, isn't it? You said
:02:28. > :02:33.it might be a trick of the light. This picture, Sharon thought it was
:02:34. > :02:41.a dragonfly, but it's easy to see why some people might mistake it for
:02:42. > :02:45.a fairy. Hmm. Jane says her house is full of Aries, but the ornamental
:02:46. > :02:58.type. -- full of fairies. Sara Payne has spent years
:02:59. > :03:02.campaigning for the safety of other children after her daughter was
:03:03. > :03:05.abducted 17 years ago. We will speak to her in a moment about how she
:03:06. > :03:08.coped in the years following the tragic event. First, let's take a
:03:09. > :04:43.last look Sarah Payne was just eight years
:04:44. > :05:05.old when she was abducted while out playing with her
:05:06. > :05:07.brothers and sister. In the years that followed,
:05:08. > :05:09.her mother Sara fought hard to change the law in order to help
:05:10. > :05:12.protect other little Her campaign culminated
:05:13. > :05:15.in Sarah's Law - a child sex offender disclosure scheme
:05:16. > :05:17.in England and Wales. 17 years after her daughter's
:05:18. > :05:19.disappearance, Sara has decided to speak out about how
:05:20. > :05:29.she and the family Good morning. Thank you so much for
:05:30. > :05:34.coming to see us. There is so much to talk about. What you have done,
:05:35. > :05:42.and I have read a lot of the book, you have written a whole series of
:05:43. > :05:46.letters to Sarah. You talk about having a conversation with her over
:05:47. > :05:50.these years? I constantly do that. Both my mum and dad have passed
:05:51. > :05:57.away, and my older brother. That is how I talk to people around me,
:05:58. > :05:59.letters, explaining things, as you would with a relative that was not
:06:00. > :06:03.close to you. You would write letters and update them on what is
:06:04. > :06:08.going on and that is how I wanted to do it. Writing the letters is one
:06:09. > :06:13.thing, letting other people into the private world is another stage? When
:06:14. > :06:16.we were searching for her in the first place, we allowed everybody
:06:17. > :06:22.into our lives and they became part of that. I think Sarah is part of a
:06:23. > :06:25.lot of people's going up back then, 17 years ago, but for a lot of
:06:26. > :06:36.people it was a big period of their lives, that summer. I wanted to let
:06:37. > :06:39.them know, everybody knows about the initial... When she was taken. I
:06:40. > :06:48.wanted to let people know that there is recovery. There is life. The
:06:49. > :06:53.children are OK, I'm OK, and we are happy. That is an amazing message to
:06:54. > :06:59.get, and not an easy journey, every day, to get there? Definitely not.
:07:00. > :07:03.But we all felt we had to do the best we could with our lives,
:07:04. > :07:07.because she didn't have one to live. So we had to do all we could to be
:07:08. > :07:12.as happy as we could. In terms of letting people in and showing people
:07:13. > :07:16.how you are now, there is a documentary on Channel five, where
:07:17. > :07:18.your sons are talking publicly for the first time.
:07:19. > :07:21.She went round the outside of the field and I decided to cut
:07:22. > :07:24.across the corner to chase her, to cut her off.
:07:25. > :07:26.She beat me out of the field, walked around the road,
:07:27. > :07:36.By the time I was there, she was gone.
:07:37. > :07:38.I was literally 30 seconds, if that, behind her.
:07:39. > :07:44.As I was walking up the road, Whiting drove
:07:45. > :07:55.But it's better to remember her for putting Sarah's Law.
:07:56. > :07:58.across rather than being remembered for a little girl that was murdered.
:07:59. > :08:16.Made her special, not just to me, but to everybody else.
:08:17. > :08:22.I will talk to you about Sarah is law in a moment, I know it is
:08:23. > :08:26.something you campaign so hard for. Just talk about the boys a little
:08:27. > :08:31.bit, if you would. They must have gone over that moment an unspeakable
:08:32. > :08:35.amount of times? They must have done. They don't speak very often of
:08:36. > :08:38.that moment, and that is the first time we have seen them speaking
:08:39. > :08:45.about it. They were just babies then. Their whole life changed with
:08:46. > :08:51.that moment. Anything their futures would have been without that moment
:08:52. > :08:55.changed completely. How have they coped with it? Individually. You
:08:56. > :09:03.know, sometimes badly, sometimes well. Something we have all learned
:09:04. > :09:06.is just to allow each other, as it comes, as naturally as possible. One
:09:07. > :09:12.of the things that you do in the book, right at the beginning, in
:09:13. > :09:18.these letters to Sarah you sort of explain to her about what happened,
:09:19. > :09:25.about this man who went and changed your lives? Yes. We try, as a
:09:26. > :09:31.family, not to talk about him at all. I think we decided after the
:09:32. > :09:35.court case that he had had enough of us. He had changed enough about our
:09:36. > :09:39.lives and he wasn't going to get any more. Over the years, the press
:09:40. > :09:42.would come to us with stories about him, what has happened and
:09:43. > :09:48.everything else. We try really hard not to allow him in our lives. You
:09:49. > :09:54.say you talk to Sarah most days. When you do that, do you imagine her
:09:55. > :09:58.as a 25-year-old, she would be now, or do you still speak to her as the
:09:59. > :10:04.little girl that she was? Always an eight-year-old. We have been
:10:05. > :10:12.approached by people who could have pictures aged, but she will stay
:10:13. > :10:15.eight years old for us forever. I can see through my other children
:10:16. > :10:20.what she would look like and how she would be. I have a good idea of what
:10:21. > :10:24.she would be like, in terms of personality. You talk about legacy,
:10:25. > :10:29.your sons talked about her being remembered not for what happened,
:10:30. > :10:35.but for the good, in some ways, you have been able to do for other
:10:36. > :10:43.people. Absolutely. That was key from early on, wasn't it? I wanted
:10:44. > :10:47.her to be remembered, not him. An eight-year-old to be remembered, not
:10:48. > :10:53.another statistic, another child murdered. With Sarah's Law, how do
:10:54. > :10:56.you feel about it now? I think child protection in general has to be
:10:57. > :11:00.revisited all of the time and has to be updated all the time. Children
:11:01. > :11:04.move so much faster than adults. I think we are really lazy, as adults,
:11:05. > :11:10.to have laws about updating around them. I think we have to be a lot
:11:11. > :11:15.quicker at updating, child protection has to stab at all of the
:11:16. > :11:17.time. Sarah's Law is great as it is, but it will always need to be
:11:18. > :11:24.updated, it will need to be changed and looked at. It should not be
:11:25. > :11:28.exactly as it is now in 70 years' time, it should be updated again.
:11:29. > :11:32.You were talking about how so many people felt close to you and your
:11:33. > :11:36.family about what happened, what a huge story it was. A generation has
:11:37. > :11:42.grown up with that. You now have grandchildren of your own. How do
:11:43. > :11:47.you talk to them about that? I am sure at times they must have
:11:48. > :11:52.questions? Are you open and honest about that? We are as honest as we
:11:53. > :12:00.can be and as gentle as we can be as well, without leaving too much out.
:12:01. > :12:05.He was a bad man, a bad person. In the book, I do it as a fairy story.
:12:06. > :12:11.You know, the big bad Wolf? That was the stranger danger. I'm constantly
:12:12. > :12:15.being told it does not happen very often and I shouldn't concentrate on
:12:16. > :12:22.stranger danger, but it did happen. And once is too much. One time was
:12:23. > :12:27.too many. For an entire country of people. Do you still feel that? As
:12:28. > :12:32.you say, it was so much part of it, we see a picture of Sarah, we can
:12:33. > :12:38.all remember straight back. Do you still feel that everybody still
:12:39. > :12:43.recognises you and all of the rest of it? Yes. It is a strange one. It
:12:44. > :12:49.is like being famous, but without any of the... I don't know, the
:12:50. > :12:54.trappings? I am very well-known, wherever I go. Do people choose to
:12:55. > :13:01.talk to you? Sometimes, sometimes they come up and it is a hug, they
:13:02. > :13:04.say they remember. Sometimes it is lovely, because she is remembered
:13:05. > :13:10.and that is what we were aiming for. Sometimes it can be in the middle of
:13:11. > :13:14.a supermarket, trying to concentrate on something else, and suddenly you
:13:15. > :13:17.are back in the place again. I know it is probably a trite question, you
:13:18. > :13:26.will never be OK, but how are you now? You're coping with it? I've got
:13:27. > :13:30.peace. We've had a lot of health issues, lots of things happen as a
:13:31. > :13:34.family, as every family does. But we are dealing with stuff. That comes
:13:35. > :13:35.across in the book. Thank you so much.
:13:36. > :13:38.Sara's book is called Letters to Sarah and the documentary,
:13:39. > :13:41.Sarah Payne: A Mother's Story, is on Channel 5, tomorrow at 9pm.
:13:42. > :13:51.But now on BBC One it's time for Right on the Money
:13:52. > :13:56.we could all do with knowing how to make the most of our cash.
:13:57. > :14:03.So, we've found simple advice for you to do just that and taken it to
