:00:00. > :00:10.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

:00:11. > :00:12.A clean-up operation is under way in Cornwall after flash floods

:00:13. > :00:18.sent a four foot torrent of water through the streets.

:00:19. > :00:25.People had to be winched from their homes as torrential rain brought

:00:26. > :00:28.huge hailstones onto the village of Coverack.

:00:29. > :00:33.A torrid night for others across southern England and more storms to

:00:34. > :00:45.come today. I will have the details throughout the programme.

:00:46. > :00:47.Good morning, it's Wednesday the 19th of July.

:00:48. > :00:53.The BBC is to reveal how much it pays its top talent,

:00:54. > :00:59.as it admits just a third of the highest-paid stars are women.

:01:00. > :01:03.Extra fees for people paying with credit or debit cards are to be

:01:04. > :01:12.scrapped, saving consumers nearly half a million every year.

:01:13. > :01:15.In sport, England's cricketers are through to the Women's World Cup

:01:16. > :01:17.final after a dramatic victory over South Africa.

:01:18. > :01:20.This shot won the match with just two balls remaining.

:01:21. > :01:22.They'll play either Australia or India on Sunday.

:01:23. > :01:27.British businesses aren't making the most of the skills picked up

:01:28. > :01:29.by thousands of people who are leaving our armed forces

:01:30. > :01:35.o I'll be taking a look at how employers can make more of that

:01:36. > :01:49.Now I can get myself dressed without anybody helping the! Meet Zion, the

:01:50. > :01:52.first person to have a double hand transplant, who is fulfilling his

:01:53. > :01:52.dreams 18 months after his operation.

:01:53. > :01:59.An amazing story. 20 more on that later in the programme. -- plenty

:02:00. > :02:00.more on that. A big clean-up operation is taking

:02:01. > :02:13.place in the village of Coverack Residents reported hailstones the

:02:14. > :02:15.size of 50p pieces and there was a four foot torrent of water.

:02:16. > :02:20.How's this for the start of the summer holidays?

:02:21. > :02:23.A coastguard helicopter winching people to safety in the Cornish

:02:24. > :02:32.Hours of massive hailstones, wind and thunder, then hours

:02:33. > :02:35.of torrential rain, brought tons of rock and debris down

:02:36. > :02:40.Even a garden shed washed down into the harbour.

:02:41. > :02:44.Can we assist you at all with some lighting?

:02:45. > :02:46.Last night, emergency crews were checking on Chris.

:02:47. > :02:57.He couldn't believe how quickly it flooded.

:02:58. > :03:00.Five foot six I'd say, I would have guessed.

:03:01. > :03:06.Looking on the bright side, but having to deal with the mess.

:03:07. > :03:09.You don't have to look long on television to see someone worse

:03:10. > :03:15.And, as I say, no-one is hurt, so it doesn't really matter.

:03:16. > :03:17.Holidaymakers arriving at their summer destination

:03:18. > :03:23.We never saw this before, so it's really exciting.

:03:24. > :03:27.Around 50 properties have been affected, but amazingly,

:03:28. > :03:35.Coverack may not feel lucky this morning, but there is a sense

:03:36. > :03:42.here that it could have been much, much worse.

:03:43. > :03:51.Just extraordinary pictures. Thankfully, nobody injured. Matt's

:03:52. > :03:56.here with the details. We have kept you inside today because of this.

:03:57. > :04:00.You did talk about this yesterday, quite extraordinary pictures.

:04:01. > :04:04.Unbelievable scenes in Cornwall. The storm has moved up from France. It

:04:05. > :04:11.has been very hot and humid there and in Spain. Not just in Cornwall,

:04:12. > :04:16.throughout the night in England and Wales we saw spectacular shots like

:04:17. > :04:20.this. We have seen minor flooding in other parts of southern England

:04:21. > :04:24.overnight. There have been trees down, gusty winds, hail and those

:04:25. > :04:30.storms continue to rumble on. What happens now? The worst of the storms

:04:31. > :04:33.at the moment are easing. Still some in East Anglia and northern England

:04:34. > :04:36.over the next few hours, but it looks like we will see further

:04:37. > :04:40.storms throughout the day, so it isn't over. Heat and humidity

:04:41. > :04:48.combined and further downpours expected. Tell us about the

:04:49. > :04:52.hailstones. 50p, that's large for hailstones, isn't it? It is, but

:04:53. > :04:57.when you get heat and humidity and it is kept above. Long spell of

:04:58. > :05:02.time, that's when this don't get into. -- for a long spell. Thank

:05:03. > :05:06.you. We saw some extraordinary pictures. If you were part of that

:05:07. > :05:08.and want to get in touch, please do. The BBC will publish details of how

:05:09. > :05:11.much it pays its top talent later this morning

:05:12. > :05:13.in its annual report. For the first time

:05:14. > :05:16.the salaries of those who earn more than ?150,000 a year

:05:17. > :05:18.will be revealed. Only a third of the names

:05:19. > :05:21.on the list are women, and the Director General, Lord Hall,

:05:22. > :05:24.says the BBC has to go further Our arts correspondent

:05:25. > :05:38.David Sillito reports. They are part of everyday

:05:39. > :05:40.life for millions, but, the BBC's stars were allowed

:05:41. > :05:43.to keep their pay deals private. The Government wants greater

:05:44. > :05:47.openness, and so today the BBC will publish the details of 96

:05:48. > :05:49.of its highest-paid stars. The BBC is in the unique

:05:50. > :05:52.position of being funded I think it's reasonable the license

:05:53. > :06:01.fee payer understands where that money is spent, and particularly

:06:02. > :06:03.on significant and high salaries. When someone at the corporation

:06:04. > :06:06.earns more than the Prime Minister, I think it is reasonable

:06:07. > :06:09.we understand what they do. The corporation tried to resist

:06:10. > :06:12.the move, saying staff pay has been falling over the last few years,

:06:13. > :06:15.despite increasing competition We're in a very competitive market,

:06:16. > :06:20.not just with ITN and Sky, but now with Netflix,

:06:21. > :06:22.with Amazon, with all sorts And what we have managed to do

:06:23. > :06:30.is to always pay our talent People come here because they want

:06:31. > :06:36.to come and work here, and over the last year we have

:06:37. > :06:40.reduced the amount we are paying And some think it could even drive

:06:41. > :06:45.pay up, as it gives rivals I think it's inflationary,

:06:46. > :06:55.and it is an invasion So, on all counts, I think this

:06:56. > :06:59.is one of the worst impositions The report will also reveal

:07:00. > :07:06.wider issues about pay. The BBC has already admitted that,

:07:07. > :07:09.on the list of highest-paid stars, Consumers will no longer be charged

:07:10. > :07:19.extra fees for using their credit or debit cards when

:07:20. > :07:21.paying for things. Surcharges for card

:07:22. > :07:22.payments, typically imposed by airlines, food delivery apps

:07:23. > :07:24.and small businesses, will be banned from January

:07:25. > :07:30.following an EU directive. Our personal finance reporter

:07:31. > :07:42.Brian Milligan has more. Passengers who book flights on

:07:43. > :07:48.airlines like Ryanair currently play extra if they want to use a credit

:07:49. > :07:52.card. The surcharge can be 3% with a minimum payment of ?5. People

:07:53. > :08:00.wanting their takeaway food delivered are also being penalised.

:08:01. > :08:04.Firms like Hungry House or Just Eat charge 50p for orders by card, which

:08:05. > :08:10.can easily amount to 5% of the bill. In all consumers spent ?470 million

:08:11. > :08:14.on card charges in 2010. Following an EU directive, all such charges

:08:15. > :08:19.will become illegal from January. Dan Pane is believed the savings are

:08:20. > :08:30.likely to be considerable. It's great. These rules will put an end

:08:31. > :08:34.to surcharges. Not just Visa and MasterCard, but all businesses.

:08:35. > :08:38.Small shops have to pay their bank fee every time a consumer uses a

:08:39. > :08:44.credit or debit card. To cover those costs, they may simply put up their

:08:45. > :08:48.prices. FlyBE says it will already get rid of the minimum charge for

:08:49. > :08:50.credit cards and reduce its fees. What is likely to happen to ticket

:08:51. > :08:51.prices is another matter. Hundreds of thousands

:08:52. > :08:53.of Mercedes-Benz diesel vehicles in the UK are to be recalled

:08:54. > :09:02.to improve their emissions systems. The German manufacturer, Daimler,

:09:03. > :09:04.which makes Mercedes, is currently under investigation

:09:05. > :09:07.for alleged emissions cheating, A total of three million vehicles

:09:08. > :09:16.across Europe are affected. Schools need a more coherent

:09:17. > :09:19.strategy for what to do in case of a dangerous event taking

:09:20. > :09:23.place on their premises, according to the teaching

:09:24. > :09:26.union the NASUWT. It says schools currently have ad

:09:27. > :09:30.hoc drills to deal with various threats and wants a comprehensive

:09:31. > :09:32.plan for so called "lockdown The Government says it constantly

:09:33. > :09:48.reviews the security The Defence Secretary Michael Fallon

:09:49. > :09:50.has called for more discipline and loyalty from his colleagues,

:09:51. > :09:54.following leaks of Cabinet discussions to the press.

:09:55. > :09:57.He was speaking to MPs and advisers last night,

:09:58. > :09:59.following the Prime Minister's call for strength and unity

:10:00. > :10:03.This lunchtime will see the last Prime Minister's Questions before

:10:04. > :10:06.It's been revealed that President Trump and the Russian

:10:07. > :10:09.leader, Vladamir Putin, held a second round of previously

:10:10. > :10:11.undisclosed talks during last month's G-20 summit in Hamburg.

:10:12. > :10:15.The White House confirmed the two men spoke for up to an hour

:10:16. > :10:17.after dinner, shortly after their formal meeting.

:10:18. > :10:19.On Twitter, Donald Trump dismissed accusations of a secret

:10:20. > :10:23.One of the country's leading providers of care to those

:10:24. > :10:25.with serious learning disabilities has warned that the sector

:10:26. > :10:30.is on "the brink of disaster" after a change in pay rules.

:10:31. > :10:33.Mencap says demands to backdate pay for carers who sleep at their place

:10:34. > :10:36.of work will cost a total of ?400 million and could ruin

:10:37. > :10:45.The Government says it's considering the issue extremely carefully.

:10:46. > :10:47.An American boy, who was the youngest in the world

:10:48. > :10:50.to have a double hand transplant, is now able to write,

:10:51. > :10:52.dress himself and even play baseball.

:10:53. > :10:56.Zion Harvey had the operation 18 months ago at the age of eight.

:10:57. > :11:13.This was Zion Harvey before his life changing operation. His hands and

:11:14. > :11:20.feet had been abdicated when he was just two after he contracted sepsis.

:11:21. > :11:24.-- amputated. In 2015 he became the world's youngest person to undergo a

:11:25. > :11:27.double hand transplant. His operation at the Children's Hospital

:11:28. > :11:32.of Philadelphia took almost 11 hours. Within days he was able to

:11:33. > :11:44.make small movements. Look at that! I just want to write a letter to the

:11:45. > :11:47.parents, for giving me their son's hands, because they didn't have to

:11:48. > :11:52.do that if they didn't want to. There have been serious set tax when

:11:53. > :11:58.Zion's body showed signs of rejecting his new hands, but they

:11:59. > :12:02.were overcome with medication. One year afterwards he was filmed doing

:12:03. > :12:07.some of the simple things we missed doing so much. Now I can get myself

:12:08. > :12:13.dressed without anybody helping me! Now I can get a snack out of the

:12:14. > :12:22.refrigerator without anybody helping me! I can heat up a sandwich and a

:12:23. > :12:25.piece of pizza all by myself. Doctors say the success of this

:12:26. > :12:29.transplant is partly down to the intensive management by surgeons,

:12:30. > :12:34.but they say the key has been Zion and his inspiring determination.

:12:35. > :12:38.Never give up on what you're doing. You'll get there eventually.

:12:39. > :12:47.I just think he is gorgeous. What a message. Never give up.

:12:48. > :12:52.He is a lovely little lad. Lovely, and cool as well.

:12:53. > :12:56.Let us know if you have any stories you want to talk about today. You

:12:57. > :13:01.can get in contact with us through the usual means. We are on Facebook,

:13:02. > :13:04.Twitter and e-mail. Find are somewhere!

:13:05. > :13:10.Never give up on something you really want. I think the women

:13:11. > :13:13.cricketers were listening to that. They didn't!

:13:14. > :13:17.There was a nail biting finish at Bristol yesterday but,

:13:18. > :13:19.England's cricketers are through to

:13:20. > :13:23.Anya Shrubsole hit the winning runs with just two balls to spare

:13:24. > :13:27.England go on to Lords on Sunday where they'll play either

:13:28. > :13:33.England and Scotland are going head to head tonight in the Group Stage

:13:34. > :13:34.of the Women's Euro 2017 championship.

:13:35. > :13:36.Scotland, playing in their first major tournament,

:13:37. > :13:39.are without several key players because of injury.

:13:40. > :13:42.West Ham have been busy in the transfer market.

:13:43. > :13:45.They've signed Stoke striker Marko Arnautovic for ?24 million.

:13:46. > :13:47.He'll join England goalkeeper Joe Hart at the London Stadium

:13:48. > :13:53.who has signed on a season-long loan.

:13:54. > :13:55.And Britain's Chris Froome retained the leader's yellow jersey

:13:56. > :13:58.after stage 16 of the Tour de France.

:13:59. > :14:00.The stage was won by Australia's Michael Matthews,

:14:01. > :14:16.Still on track for Chris Froome. Are you ready for me?

:14:17. > :14:23.Always ready! Sean has joined us as well.

:14:24. > :14:29.Pass me the papers, Dan! Sometimes you just have to jab me.

:14:30. > :14:36.The front page of the Mail, they are talking about what will be revealed

:14:37. > :14:42.later at 11 a.m.. The BBC will reveal in bands of ?50,000 how much

:14:43. > :14:46.it pays its top talent. On the front page of the Daily

:14:47. > :14:52.Telegraph as well, it is the gender pay gap revealed. They have a story

:14:53. > :14:56.about... Most of this week there have been pictures of some members

:14:57. > :14:59.of the royal family. This is the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge as

:15:00. > :15:05.they were touring the former concentration camp yesterday.

:15:06. > :15:07.Thousands of particularly young school children and others turned

:15:08. > :15:13.out to see them. Clearly moved by what they saw as

:15:14. > :15:17.well. The Times, a mix of stories. We have been talking about this BBC

:15:18. > :15:22.list. Two thirds of its top earning stars are men. Rip-off fees for

:15:23. > :15:28.credit cards. It is interesting. You go to your

:15:29. > :15:33.pace election and you don't get charged for credit cards but you get

:15:34. > :15:37.charged for -- debit cards, but you get charged for credit cards. It

:15:38. > :15:41.happens when you book a flight. You are all right at the end and then

:15:42. > :15:45.you want to pay with your credit card. This is a German girl. She

:15:46. > :15:49.left Germany and ran away to join Islamic State one year ago and she

:15:50. > :15:56.has actually been found by Iraqi forces in Mosul.

:15:57. > :16:02.And backbenchers tell Theresa May, sack the saboteurs. We were speaking

:16:03. > :16:06.to Amber Rudd yesterday about this. And Johanna Konta, he was here with

:16:07. > :16:10.us on the sofa yesterday. There were some complaints to BBC Radio four

:16:11. > :16:16.yesterday, after an interview with Johanna Konta. That is why she is on

:16:17. > :16:22.the front page of the guardian. -- Guardian. A big one on the front of

:16:23. > :16:27.the business pages. Inflation dipped yesterday. We talk about price rises

:16:28. > :16:33.getting faster and faster. Yesterday prices were only up to .6%. A

:16:34. > :16:37.surprise? A bit of a surprise. Petrol and diesel prices had fallen

:16:38. > :16:41.more than the experts thought. They clearly were not looking at the

:16:42. > :16:45.punters driving down the road. It meant there was a drop in the pound

:16:46. > :16:48.yesterday as well. Quite a big one, that prices are not going up as

:16:49. > :16:52.quickly as people thought. Food prices are, though, which means the

:16:53. > :17:00.night -- there might not Ian interest-rate rise as quickly as

:17:01. > :17:05.people thought. -- be an interest rate rise. And Gary Ballance is out

:17:06. > :17:10.of the third test against South Africa at the Oval, after fracturing

:17:11. > :17:13.and -- fracturing a finger during the defeat at Kent Ridge on the

:17:14. > :17:16.weekend. Here is an exclusive from their writer Ian Herbert, who says

:17:17. > :17:20.there are members of the Hillsborough families, of the

:17:21. > :17:24.support group, suggesting they would not the anti- safe standing inside

:17:25. > :17:27.football stadiums. That is quite a significant turnaround from them. No

:17:28. > :17:32.official vote has been taken, nothing official, but they say that

:17:33. > :17:36.rail seats might be a way forward. In the Telegraph, another BBC story,

:17:37. > :17:39.this might come out later today. The BBC set to announce they have the

:17:40. > :17:42.rights for the US PGA tournament, which is next month. A quick

:17:43. > :17:49.turnaround for them, taking that from Sky. Obviously, if that is

:17:50. > :17:53.confirmed later, fantastic news for the BBC, because it means lots and

:17:54. > :17:56.lots of people can watch it without paying. Sky just launched their golf

:17:57. > :18:01.channel this week as well. That could be interesting. Here we go,

:18:02. > :18:06.the perfect brew. I know this is a regular story. A regular favourite

:18:07. > :18:16.on BBC Breakfast. What colour cup, do you think? White? Incorrect.

:18:17. > :18:22.Read. What? I can hear everybody shouting no at me. You must brew the

:18:23. > :18:27.bag for five minutes. Too long! When the tea cool still spend 45 degrees

:18:28. > :18:31.we begin to appreciate the flavours properly. A red or pink mug will

:18:32. > :18:35.taste sweeter than a blue or white one. Why do you want it sweet? Let

:18:36. > :18:41.me finish. Never drink from a Styrofoam cup. By waiting five

:18:42. > :18:45.minutes both taste molecules and healthy antioxidants are properly

:18:46. > :18:48.diffused into the water. Does it taste different? Is it

:18:49. > :18:54.psychological? You are thinking too deeply about this story. You started

:18:55. > :18:57.it. They call it the perfect brew, but everybody does it differently.

:18:58. > :19:01.Who puts in the milk before the water? Some friends of mine do that.

:19:02. > :19:05.I think you can make it many different ways. There are no rules

:19:06. > :19:09.about this sort of thing. Do not try to alleviate the situation now. Be a

:19:10. > :19:21.maverick. The milk in early sometimes! Thank you very much. We

:19:22. > :19:23.will talk to you later on. I have not even got a cup of tea this

:19:24. > :19:26.morning it. I need to sort that out. It's 06:19 and you're watching

:19:27. > :19:30.Breakfast from BBC News. The main stories this morning:

:19:31. > :19:33.Engineers will spend the day assessing the safety of buildings

:19:34. > :19:48.following flash flooding Later today the BBC will provide

:19:49. > :19:56.details of what it pays almost 100 of its top centres. -- presenters.

:19:57. > :19:59.Some brutal pictures of the weather in Cornwall yesterday. Thankfully,

:20:00. > :20:01.as you said earlier, everybody is OK. Matthew has a clear picture of

:20:02. > :20:10.what will be happening. We have had well over 100,000

:20:11. > :20:13.lightning strikes across the English Channel, southern England in South

:20:14. > :20:17.Wales. A sleepless night for many. Some flooding, too. The risk will

:20:18. > :20:21.continue through the rest of the day for some of you. Stay tuned to the

:20:22. > :20:25.forecast. There will be further thunderstorms across the UK today,

:20:26. > :20:30.not just across the south. Developing further north as well.

:20:31. > :20:34.There is the chance we could see large hail, gusty winds and the risk

:20:35. > :20:37.of flooding as well. Let's look at what has been happening in the past

:20:38. > :20:41.few hours in southern counties of England. It is now drifting north.

:20:42. > :20:45.The worst of the storms are easing away from East Anglia and parts of

:20:46. > :20:49.Lincolnshire, but they will drift north. A bit hit and miss. Some will

:20:50. > :21:00.avoid them altogether during the morning rush hour. As I said, do not

:21:01. > :21:04.treat positions too literally. We will continue to see further showers

:21:05. > :21:08.pushing on with heavy bursts of rain in Northern Ireland through the day,

:21:09. > :21:12.and parts of north Wales. Temperatures this afternoon hitting

:21:13. > :21:16.a steamy 31 Celsius across parts of eastern England. That will combine

:21:17. > :21:20.to settle further storms at times. Lots of cloud towards the south and

:21:21. > :21:24.west. The weather not as severe as it was yesterday. When the sunshine

:21:25. > :21:28.comes out it will feel hot. Parts of mid and north Wales, the Midlands

:21:29. > :21:32.and into northern England, we could finish the day with those torrential

:21:33. > :21:35.downpours. Rain on and off from the late morning onwards in Northern

:21:36. > :21:39.Ireland. Only a few showers in Scotland. Can't rule out a

:21:40. > :21:42.thunderstorm, though. Dry and bright in the north-west Highlands. They

:21:43. > :21:48.could see temperatures in the upper 20s. One or storms further south

:21:49. > :21:52.into the night. The storms should fade through the night. Lots of

:21:53. > :21:57.cloud. Scotland, England and Wales will see further splashes of rain

:21:58. > :22:01.into the morning. In the west, the skies were clear later on and it

:22:02. > :22:05.will start to feel fresher again. That is the trend for tomorrow. The

:22:06. > :22:08.weather nowhere near as severe. Overnight storms quickly clearing

:22:09. > :22:13.away. Skies brightening across most parts. It stays cloudy and wait for

:22:14. > :22:17.the longest in the north of the country. Showers the Northern

:22:18. > :22:20.Ireland later on. It will feel much fresher. Instead of temperatures

:22:21. > :22:25.like today, we will see temperatures in the low 20s, and that is about as

:22:26. > :22:29.high as we will go. Lower than that further west. On Friday, we stay

:22:30. > :22:32.with the fresher thing, but after a brighter start across northern and

:22:33. > :22:36.eastern areas we will see wet and windy weather in the south and west.

:22:37. > :22:39.Sunshine and showers will take us into the weekend. Things do turn

:22:40. > :22:42.quieter and fresher, but for the time being there are storms around.

:22:43. > :22:47.Look at those swirling pictures! That is a proper swirled. Did you

:22:48. > :22:53.say there were over 100,000 lightning strikes overnight? Yes. I

:22:54. > :22:57.know that is lots... I counted every single one. No, 100,000 lightning

:22:58. > :23:01.strikes recorded over South Wales, southern England being the channel.

:23:02. > :23:02.Lots of people said they were up since the early hours watching this

:23:03. > :23:07.thunderstorms. Thank you, Matt. It is arguably the country's

:23:08. > :23:10.favourite fish and now North Sea cod is officially back

:23:11. > :23:12.on the menu again. The Marine Stewardship Council says

:23:13. > :23:15.cod stocks have finally recovered Lorna Gordon has been finding out

:23:16. > :23:28.what this means for our fishermen In Peterhead harbour, the biggest

:23:29. > :23:33.white fish port in Europe, the fishermen are lending their latest

:23:34. > :23:37.catch. It has been a good few days at sea for these trawler men. Among

:23:38. > :23:45.the fish being offloaded, cold, and plenty of it. -- cod. We have

:23:46. > :23:49.increased the net sizes to reduce the catches of Juvenal cod. One

:23:50. > :23:53.decade ago the cod fisheries in the North Sea were close to collapse,

:23:54. > :23:55.but quotas and measures taken by the fishermen themselves have helped the

:23:56. > :24:02.stock recover. Scottish fishermen have also been in restricted areas

:24:03. > :24:07.for spawning cod, and high abundance in rates of God. In some years there

:24:08. > :24:12.was a woods of 50,000 square miles closed off to scotch fishermen. --

:24:13. > :24:17.there was upwards of 50,000. Their hard work has paid off. In Peterhead

:24:18. > :24:21.fish market there is now plenty of cod for sale, and from today all of

:24:22. > :24:25.it will be certified as sustainable. Extremely enthusiastic. It has taken

:24:26. > :24:29.us eight or nine years to get here. A huge sacrifice. We have seen the

:24:30. > :24:34.dark days but now we have the bright days. For the wider fishing

:24:35. > :24:38.community the upturn in the cod stocks is one of several reasons

:24:39. > :24:42.they are feeling buoyed. Dozens of new boats are on order for the fleet

:24:43. > :24:46.here at Peterhead. There is a real sense of them is amongst the

:24:47. > :24:49.fishermen here that the work they have done to preserve the fish

:24:50. > :24:56.stocks in the North Sea is helping to protect their industry for future

:24:57. > :24:59.generations. And these sustainability certification that

:25:00. > :25:02.has been awarded to North Sea cod could well mean new markets opening

:25:03. > :25:06.up for the fishermen and their catch. A lot of supermarkets are

:25:07. > :25:13.looking for a sustainable, MSc certified product. So now that the

:25:14. > :25:16.Clyde years MSC certified it could be easier to cell to a number of UK

:25:17. > :25:22.supermarkets and fish and chip restaurant as well. -- now that the

:25:23. > :25:27.cod is MSC certified. So what does this mean for those of us who love

:25:28. > :25:30.cod? It is great news that it is back on the menu from a sustainable

:25:31. > :25:35.source. Local and sustainable, it is good. Having something that has that

:25:36. > :25:38.traceability is important. For somebody of my age, I think in two

:25:39. > :25:43.hasn't been offered or been around for many years. It is lovely to see

:25:44. > :25:47.it at on offer. There will be regular checks to see that cold

:25:48. > :25:52.stocks in our waters remain at healthy levels. -- cod stocks. There

:25:53. > :25:57.is confidence that after years of decline, North Sea cod is

:25:58. > :26:00.sustainable once again. I am delighted to hear that. That is

:26:01. > :29:23.great cod news. Very good cod news. Plenty more on our website

:29:24. > :29:25.at the usual address. Now, though, it's back

:31:07. > :31:14.24 hours. The BBC will have to reveal how much it plays its talent

:31:15. > :31:19.in an annual report. For the first time the salaries of those who own

:32:35. > :32:39.Alex Forsyth is in Westminster for us.

:32:40. > :32:48.Good morning. This is a hot topic of debate yesterday. There was a

:32:49. > :32:52.cabinet minister yesterday. We spoke to the Home Secretary about this as

:32:53. > :32:56.well. It looks like it will continue for quite sometime? The Prime

:32:57. > :33:00.Minister and senior members of her team were trying to put a stop to

:33:01. > :33:05.this leaks and meetings. Theresa May said yesterday that it was vital

:33:06. > :33:08.their discussions remain private. She said the briefings and counter

:33:09. > :33:11.briefings showed some colleagues won't taking their responsibilities

:33:12. > :33:15.seriously and there was a need for unity. Then the Defence Secretary

:33:16. > :33:18.Michael Fallon spoke at the reception last night and he said

:33:19. > :33:23.that ministers should copy military virtues of loyalty, cohesion and

:33:24. > :33:27.discipline and turned their fire on the enemy, presumably meaning

:33:28. > :33:30.Labour. We've even got backbench Conservative MPs giving their

:33:31. > :33:33.support to the Prime Minister to crack the whip on cabinet ministers

:33:34. > :33:37.who leak. So there's an effort to restore some kind of control, but

:33:38. > :33:42.there are still fundamental differences over policy. Brexit,

:33:43. > :33:46.yes, but also whether or not the cap on public sector pay should stay in

:33:47. > :33:50.place and now we are hearing that Number 10 would respond to

:33:51. > :33:53.recommendations on police and prison officer pay until after the summer

:33:54. > :33:57.break. So with these divisions continuing the bubble under the

:33:58. > :33:59.surface, it might take more than a few stern words to stop it from

:34:00. > :34:00.spilling over. Thank you. It's been revealed that

:34:01. > :34:03.President Trump and the Russian leader, Vladamir Putin,

:34:04. > :34:05.held a second round of previously undisclosed talks during last

:34:10. > :34:12.men spoke for up to an hour after dinner, shortly

:34:13. > :34:14.after their formal meeting. On Twitter, Donald Trump dismissed

:34:15. > :34:27.accusations of a secret encounter I think he means sick in the

:34:28. > :34:29.traditional sense, rather than the more modern.

:34:30. > :34:31.As I read that I was thinking, is that good or bad?

:34:32. > :34:35.That, I think. -- bad. One of the country's leading

:35:33. > :35:37.And oh my goodness they had a spectacle to watch! The female

:35:38. > :35:39.cricketers are doing really well, better than the men's team at the

:35:40. > :35:40.moment. England's cricketers

:35:41. > :35:42.are through to the women's World Cup final after a thrilling last-over

:36:01. > :36:09.or India at Lords on Sunday. I think it is kind of sinking in

:36:10. > :36:12.right now. Once you get past the relief of getting over the line, we

:36:13. > :36:16.knew we came into this tournament with a good shot if we play some

:36:17. > :36:20.good cricket. You can't win tournaments if you aren't in the

:36:42. > :36:45.in football when they walk out onto the pitch.

:36:46. > :36:52.The biggest thing is to try to enjoy it. Try to impress the experience

:36:53. > :36:58.and that's been a message from when we qualified. All the preparations,

:36:59. > :37:03.it has been really about you know enjoy every single second.

:37:04. > :37:10.We've put in so much preparation. Physical work, so much work off the

:37:11. > :37:15.pitch and becoming a more together team. This is probably the most

:37:16. > :37:18.prepared we've felt going into a tournament, so there's a lot of

:38:30. > :38:37.amateur prize and managed to be fourth overall. He now has a US Open

:38:38. > :38:44.title and Olympic gold, but he would still love to win. It is the one

:38:45. > :38:50.tournament I've dreamt about since I was a young boy. You take an open

:38:51. > :38:54.championship anywhere, you take a major challenge anywhere, but if

:38:55. > :38:57.they happen to line up at special venues I was fortunate to win at

:38:58. > :39:01.Marion because that club has something special about it and

:39:02. > :39:05.obviously to do it here at Royal Birkdale would be a kind of full

:39:06. > :39:10.circle moment, based on a guess what I did in 1998. So, yeah, a special

:39:11. > :39:16.venue and lots of good memories. He looks almost exactly the same and

:39:17. > :39:21.has barely changed. One thing I should mention about the golf, it is

:39:48. > :39:53.can see him here. There were some sort of PR thing yesterday where he

:40:45. > :40:48.Pupils take cover under desks, obstacles are placed in front of

:40:49. > :40:52.doors and the room is darkened. The aim is to restrict entry and make it

:40:58. > :41:03.Lockdown practice takes place twice a year and the reasons for hiding

:41:04. > :41:07.are explained to pupils. You need to protect yourself in case anything is

:41:12. > :41:15.practising for someone that could be potentially harmful being in school.

:41:16. > :41:20.Even if they could get into the classroom they might not even be

:41:21. > :41:23.able to see us. West Yorkshire council see themselves as

:41:24. > :41:27.trailblazers for school safety and a number of training sessions for

:41:28. > :41:33.teachers have been held. Similar strategies are in place across the

:41:34. > :41:34.UK. But there is no national guidance, with the department for

:41:35. > :41:50.education saying they believe: All clear, all clear. In

:41:51. > :41:53.Huddersfield, the lockdown drill is complete. Children and staff emerge

:41:54. > :41:56.from under their desks. More prepared, perhaps, for potential

:41:57. > :42:00.threats to their school. Sarah Lyons from the

:42:01. > :42:10.NUT joins us now. Good morning. Do you think this kind

:42:11. > :42:15.of training is necessary? Yes, we do think it's a good idea. I mean,

:42:16. > :42:20.schools are very safe places and such incidents are very rare, but

:42:21. > :42:24.the first duty of a school is to ensure the safety of its pupils, so

:42:25. > :42:28.I do think it's a good idea. We've just been to west Yorkshire. Are

:42:29. > :42:33.there many other areas doing this type of training? Are not so sure

:42:34. > :42:36.about the training, but a number of local authorities to offer guidance

:42:37. > :42:40.to their schools on this issue, but there are a lot of that don't offer

:42:41. > :42:45.guidance and those schools are missing out. What do you think they

:42:46. > :42:49.should be doing? Well, we think the DFE has a role in producing national

:42:50. > :42:53.guidance for schools in order to fill in the gaps. That the

:42:54. > :42:56.department for education. There is government advice by Abbey National

:42:57. > :43:01.counter-terrorism security office on what to do in this kind of

:43:02. > :43:04.situation. Is that not enough? That's generic advice aimed at

:43:05. > :43:07.organisations and businesses and schools are different because they

:43:08. > :43:12.contain children and staff need to be trained in how to take children

:43:13. > :43:16.through those procedures. So generic advice isn't really sufficient. We

:43:17. > :43:20.need school specific advice. You said yourself at the top of the

:43:21. > :43:25.interview that this is an unlikely scenario, so you think even in that

:43:26. > :43:32.case there needs to be generic advice? There needs to be specific

:43:33. > :43:36.advice. Schools need to be prepared and this is really just part of a

:43:37. > :43:40.school's normal emergency and security procedure, but it does need

:43:41. > :43:43.to be there. I'm watching the pictures and clearly they warned the

:43:44. > :43:48.children, they know this will happen. While you concerned about...

:43:49. > :43:54.Because it is quite a scary thing even to practise in some ways, isn't

:43:55. > :43:58.it? I can understand those concerns, but teachers understand the needs of

:43:59. > :44:01.their children. They know how their children are likely to react in a

:44:02. > :44:05.particular situation, so they are best placed to take their children

:44:06. > :44:08.through those procedures in a sensitive manner, they don't become

:44:09. > :44:17.alarmed. And how aware our children... Jingly it depends on the

:44:18. > :44:22.child, about recent events -- presumably. Our schools talking them

:44:23. > :44:25.about that? Schools will talk to children about recent events but in

:44:26. > :44:29.an age-appropriate way and children will receive information from other

:44:30. > :44:34.sources, from parents, the media, television. Just to be clear, you

:44:35. > :44:38.want specific advice to tell schools exactly what to do. Is it not

:44:39. > :44:42.dependent on the school and every school might be different? I think

:44:43. > :44:46.what we need is school specific advice which schools can then adapt

:44:47. > :44:50.in order to introduce their own procedures. If I could just give an

:44:51. > :44:55.example, when I knew I was coming on this programme last night I

:44:56. > :44:59.contacted the health and safety representative at one of our schools

:45:00. > :45:02.and asked if they had one of these procedures at the school and her

:45:03. > :45:06.response was, we don't have the foggiest. We would like advice from

:45:07. > :45:10.the DFE, so I think that says it all. Thank you very much.

:45:11. > :45:14.I would like to know, are other people experiencing this? Are other

:45:15. > :45:17.schools having these kinds of rehearsals about lockdown?

:45:18. > :45:24.Do tell us what's going on. Let us know.

:45:25. > :45:28.The main stories: A cleanup operation is under way in Cornwall

:45:29. > :45:32.this morning following flash floods in the village of Coverack.

:45:33. > :45:37.More on that in a moment. The BBC will provide details today on what

:45:38. > :45:44.it pays almost 100 of its presenters.

:45:45. > :45:52.We saw those pictures in Cornwall. Loads of storms overnight, people

:45:53. > :45:56.just tuning in, you were saying there were 100,000 lightning strikes

:45:57. > :46:00.last night? Yes, in South Wales, southern

:46:01. > :46:03.England and the English Channel. The problems in Cornwall were caused by

:46:04. > :46:08.one stubborn storm which refused to move. We had about half a month of

:46:09. > :46:13.rain in day few hours, filtering down on to that village. It was not

:46:14. > :46:16.just in Cornwall. Look at these shots from other parts of southern

:46:17. > :46:21.England overnight. Over 100,000 lightning strikes. Well over half a

:46:22. > :46:26.month of rainfall in a few spots. There has been flash flooding as

:46:27. > :46:32.well. Accompanying those storms, gusty winds. Trees felled in 12

:46:33. > :46:38.spots. Large hail as well. Around the size of 50p pieces. A sleepless

:46:39. > :46:45.night for many people in southern areas. We are not really done with

:46:46. > :46:50.the storms yet. If we look at what is happening over the next couple of

:46:51. > :46:53.hours and into the day ahead, we are going to have sporadic storms

:46:54. > :47:00.around. Not everybody will see them. We could see flooding in one or two

:47:01. > :47:04.spots as those storms rumble on and develop further into the afternoon,

:47:05. > :47:08.but certainly over the past few hours it is southern areas which

:47:09. > :47:11.have seen these nasty storms, especially in East Anglia and

:47:12. > :47:15.Lincolnshire. Those storms are rumbling off into the North Sea.

:47:16. > :47:18.This cluster will be running through the Midlands over the next few

:47:19. > :47:23.hours, pushing into parts of northern England. There are big gaps

:47:24. > :47:27.in between. Do not take the position of the rain on the charter

:47:28. > :47:31.literally. It is this zone where we could see storms late in the

:47:32. > :47:34.morning. Wetter in parts of Northern Ireland in the afternoon, the

:47:35. > :47:39.potential for thunderstorms. Some of the wettest prolonged rain will be

:47:40. > :47:45.here. A very human day, peaking in eastern England, around 31 or 32

:47:46. > :47:51.Celsius. -- humid day. We will see further storms. The showers we have

:47:52. > :47:54.seen in the south-west will not be as severe as we saw yesterday. The

:47:55. > :47:57.worst of the storms this afternoon could be north Wales, the north

:47:58. > :48:03.Midlands and into north-west England. That could cause issues in

:48:04. > :48:06.the evening rush-hour. We will see one or two showers and thunderstorms

:48:07. > :48:12.in Scotland, few and far between. Any will be dry. With the sunshine,

:48:13. > :48:14.the driest weather continuing across the north-west Highlands,

:48:15. > :48:19.temperatures in the high 20s. Scotland will get wetter tonight.

:48:20. > :48:24.Becoming less severe as the night goes on. Just occasional rain across

:48:25. > :48:28.England, Wales and Scotland into the morning. A misty and muggy night in

:48:29. > :48:31.eastern areas. Skies clearing further west, which means it will be

:48:32. > :48:37.a much fresh start to tomorrow morning. Fresher air is on its way.

:48:38. > :48:40.A bright start on Thursday, some showers and the old rumble of

:48:41. > :48:47.thunder to the north and east first thing. Staying wet. Things will

:48:48. > :48:51.brighten up later. Showers into Northern Ireland, but across the

:48:52. > :48:57.board, a much fresher feel. Temperatures in the low 20s compare

:48:58. > :49:01.to the low 30s. Mostly in the teens. On Friday, brightest and driest to

:49:02. > :49:04.the east and the north. Low pressure will push on from the west. Expect

:49:05. > :49:08.the wind to strengthen. Another batch of rain, some of which will be

:49:09. > :49:12.heavy and potentially thundery. Not as bad as today, but that will spur

:49:13. > :49:17.its way eastwards throughout Friday. It is going to be a wet and windy

:49:18. > :49:20.day for some of you on Friday. If you are already thinking about the

:49:21. > :49:23.weekend, we continue with temperatures out if not a little

:49:24. > :49:28.below average. Sunshine and showers sums it up. Some blustery winds on

:49:29. > :49:36.top of that will mean a challenging tournament for those at Birkdale.

:49:37. > :49:42.Challenging. It is fun to watch, isn't it? It does make it

:49:43. > :49:48.interesting. It is all about controlling your ball flight in the

:49:49. > :49:54.wind. I never can. I am not sure it would make much difference to me

:49:55. > :49:58.either, to be fair. Thank you. As we were seeing earlier, if you have got

:49:59. > :50:02.dramatic pictures from the weather last night, do send them into us and

:50:03. > :50:06.we will try to show them. It is really difficult to get a good

:50:07. > :50:10.teacher of a lightning strike, but people have been attempting. --

:50:11. > :50:14.picture. But people have been trying. It is like when you see a

:50:15. > :50:15.beautiful full moon and you try to take a picture, it looks appalling.

:50:16. > :50:19.You need a proper camera. A daring underwater mission

:50:20. > :50:22.to recover some World War II "bouncing bombs" will take place

:50:23. > :50:25.on a Scottish loch in a few hours. The bombs were featured

:50:26. > :50:28.in the legendary War film, Dambusters, and were tested

:50:29. > :50:30.in Western Scotland, where Catriona Renton

:50:31. > :50:36.is for us this morning. The view over Loch Striven in

:50:37. > :50:40.Argyll, a beautiful part of the country. But it also has an

:50:41. > :50:49.important place in British military history. Today, divers will attempt

:50:50. > :50:55.another daring mission here. Back in 1943, bouncing bombs were tested

:50:56. > :51:00.here, code-named Highball. This was one of the types invented by Sir

:51:01. > :51:03.Barnes Wallis. Another, Upkeep, was used in the dambuster raids in

:51:04. > :51:08.Germany. Highball was designed to sink enemy ships. Sir Barnes Wallis

:51:09. > :51:12.had come up with an idea. A bomb that did not just explode where it

:51:13. > :51:16.landed, but would bounce over the surface of the water like skimming

:51:17. > :51:22.stone until it hit its target. The particular focus was the German

:51:23. > :51:27.battleship, the tappets. In the end, highball bombs were never used. But

:51:28. > :51:32.they have lain on the bed of the loch for almost 70 years. So far

:51:33. > :51:36.only divers have been able to see them up close. I think it is

:51:37. > :51:45.extremely exciting. I feel that people should have the chance to CDs

:51:46. > :51:48.objects -- see these objects. They are of an age of technological

:51:49. > :51:53.innovation that we will possibly never see again. Final preparations

:51:54. > :51:57.have been made and all that remains now is that these pieces of history

:51:58. > :52:05.to be brought to the surface for the public to see for the first time.

:52:06. > :52:06.That was very beautiful. This is an interesting story.

:52:07. > :52:10.It's hard to explain a gap on your CV to future employers,

:52:11. > :52:13.but what if the gap was years of military service?

:52:14. > :52:15.Sean's been looking into how ex-service personnel fare

:52:16. > :52:25.Yes, you would think, the skills that you pick up, we hear about

:52:26. > :52:29.employers talking about a skills shortage or the time, there must

:52:30. > :52:30.some length. But there is a problem, it seems.

:52:31. > :52:32.This all comes from some research from what's called

:52:33. > :52:34.the Veterans Employment Transition Support programme,

:52:35. > :52:37.backed by big military charities and big businesses like Barclays

:52:38. > :52:41.They've used MoD data collected from all military leavers every year

:52:42. > :52:44.to predict the jobs market for people leaving the forces over

:52:45. > :52:48.They say around 85,000 will leave the military in the next five years.

:52:49. > :52:52.But they're warning around 1 in 5 of them are likely to face

:52:53. > :52:55.under-employment, which is when the job you have doesn't match

:52:56. > :52:59.And they also found that 1 in 10 veterans will

:53:00. > :53:09.Adam Bonner is with Forces Recruitment Services.

:53:10. > :53:11.They're a small firm specialising in getting ex-armed

:53:12. > :53:24.Good morning, Adam. Good morning. What are the big skills that you can

:53:25. > :53:27.pick up with your experience in the military, that businesses would

:53:28. > :53:31.want? There are tangible skills, first of all. The most tangible

:53:32. > :53:34.skills would be things like engineering, trades, technical

:53:35. > :53:37.disciplines. They are things that employers tend to relate to the most

:53:38. > :53:43.because they know what value they will add to business. NVQs and our

:53:44. > :53:46.very prolific in the armed forces. The training mechanisms that are

:53:47. > :53:52.provided up parallel to those in civilian life. An employer can look

:53:53. > :53:55.at a level three mechanical engineer and know exactly what kind of value

:53:56. > :53:59.they will add to business. The things that are undervalued, and

:54:00. > :54:02.often not talked about, are the personal attributes developed while

:54:03. > :54:08.in service. Things like that yet the job done attitude, things like

:54:09. > :54:11.employer loyalty, man management, conflict resolution. And I don't

:54:12. > :54:15.mean frontline conflict resolution. I mean talking with fellow

:54:16. > :54:22.colleagues, defusing situations within the workplace. And pacifying

:54:23. > :54:26.potentially conflict related issues. A lot of those people skills that we

:54:27. > :54:29.hear from employers that are not necessarily coming through in the

:54:30. > :54:33.education system somehow, that people could be getting from there.

:54:34. > :54:36.Why the gap? That all sounds fantastic if you are a business

:54:37. > :54:40.looking to employ people like that, if you have been -- have the

:54:41. > :54:43.qualifications and the people skills. If the military not

:54:44. > :54:47.supporting people enough? Is it is such a type of workplace. I think

:54:48. > :54:52.the mechanism is the armed forces are put into place to support levers

:54:53. > :54:56.are fantastic. They go so far. What tends to happen in service leavers

:54:57. > :55:00.come out of service, without pigeonholing the entire Armed

:55:01. > :55:03.Forces, is that they do not always understand how best to present

:55:04. > :55:07.themselves. What an employer is looking for. Do they want to see

:55:08. > :55:13.military 's -- military experience on a CD? What don't they want to

:55:14. > :55:16.see? Should the CD be demilitarised and softened to say in the manager,

:55:17. > :55:22.rather than a specific military rank? -- CV. Using the language of

:55:23. > :55:26.business? Absolutely. Our view is that if you spent 20 plus years in

:55:27. > :55:30.the armed forces, perhaps entering the armed forces from school, that

:55:31. > :55:34.represents a huge proportion of your walking life and your formative

:55:35. > :55:38.years. -- working life. Before we go, if you are leaving the armed

:55:39. > :55:41.forces and filling in your CV, you would have seen lots of these, what

:55:42. > :55:45.is the one tip you would give somebody, filling batting, to try to

:55:46. > :55:49.give them the best chance of getting the job they are after? -- filling

:55:50. > :55:53.that in. Differentiate yourself from everybody else. Your background, you

:55:54. > :55:57.relevant skills, the experiences you have in service, you can do that. If

:55:58. > :56:01.you are in a pool of applicants, maybe cannot of people who applied

:56:02. > :56:05.for a job on the uni to set yourself apart. And your military background,

:56:06. > :56:14.if presented in the right way, can do that. Adam, thank you very much.

:56:15. > :56:18.Maybe military personnel are not making the most of their CVs, not

:56:19. > :56:22.being proud enough of what they have achieved, because we are so used to

:56:23. > :56:30.temp late CVs, aren't we? It is an art, writing a CV. Get it all on the

:56:31. > :56:35.page. -- on one page. Have you ever seen somebody look at a CV? It is

:56:36. > :56:37.like that. Make it one page. And send a tea bag. Sam Day teabag?

:56:38. > :59:57.Billions idea. Time to get the Plenty more on our website

:59:58. > :00:25.at the usual address. Hello, this is Breakfast,

:00:26. > :00:27.with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. A clean-up operation is under way

:00:28. > :00:30.in Cornwall after flash floods sent a four foot torrent

:00:31. > :00:33.of water through the streets People had to be winched

:00:34. > :00:35.from their homes as torrential rain and huge

:00:36. > :00:46.hailstones bore down on the village And it's not just Cornwall that saw

:00:47. > :00:52.the storms. Severe storms in southern England. It used for many,

:00:53. > :01:06.but there could be more later. Full details throughout the programme.

:01:07. > :01:10.Good morning, it's Wednesday the 19th of July.

:01:11. > :01:13.Also this morning: The BBC is to reveal how much it

:01:14. > :01:15.pays its top talent, as it admits just a third

:01:16. > :01:22.Extra fees for people paying with credit or debit cards are to be

:01:23. > :01:28.scrapped, saving consumers nearly ?500 million every year.

:01:29. > :01:35.In sport, England's cricketers are through to the World Cup final after

:01:36. > :01:40.dramatic victory over South Africa. This shot won the match with just

:01:41. > :01:42.two walls remaining. They will play either Australia or India on Sunday.

:01:43. > :01:46.Thousands of Mercedes owners in the UK will be offered a fix

:01:47. > :01:47.to their diesel vehicles' emissions system.

:01:48. > :02:01.Now I can get myself dressed without anybody helping the! -- me!

:02:02. > :02:04.And how the first child to have a double hand transplant

:02:05. > :02:09.is fulfilling his dreams, 18 months after his operation.

:02:10. > :02:12.Let's find out about our main news story.

:02:13. > :02:15.A big clean-up operation is taking place in Cornwall,

:02:16. > :02:17.after flash floods swept through the village of Coverack

:02:18. > :02:28.Residents reported hailstones the size of 50 pence pieces,

:02:29. > :02:34.and the village was divided in two by a four foot torrent of water.

:02:35. > :02:37.How's this for the start of the summer holidays?

:02:38. > :02:40.A coastguard helicopter winching people to safety in the Cornish

:02:41. > :02:44.Hours of massive hailstones, wind and thunder, then hours

:02:45. > :02:47.of torrential rain, brought tons of rock and debris down

:02:48. > :03:01.Even a garden shed washed down into the harbour.

:03:02. > :03:04.Can we assist you at all with some lighting?

:03:05. > :03:06.Last night, emergency crews were checking on Chris.

:03:07. > :03:08.He rents out this seafront holiday cottage.

:03:09. > :03:10.He couldn't believe how quickly it flooded.

:03:11. > :03:12.Five foot six I'd say, I would have guessed.

:03:13. > :03:18.Then we've got the mud and everything to clear,

:03:19. > :03:22.Looking on the bright side, but having to deal with the mess.

:03:23. > :03:25.You don't have to look long on television to see someone worse

:03:26. > :03:30.And, as I say, no-one is hurt, so it doesn't really matter.

:03:31. > :03:31.Holidaymakers arriving at their summer destination

:03:32. > :03:38.We never saw this before, so it's really exciting.

:03:39. > :03:40.Around 50 properties have been affected, but amazingly,

:03:41. > :03:50.Coverack may not feel lucky this morning, but there is a sense

:03:51. > :03:57.here that it could have been much, much worse.

:03:58. > :03:59.Jon is in Coverack for us this morning.

:04:00. > :04:09.Jon, what are people waking up to this morning?

:04:10. > :04:17.They're waking up to a mess, basically. This is where the river

:04:18. > :04:20.comes down from the hills above. Yesterday afternoon four feet of

:04:21. > :04:25.water thundered down, bringing everything we get from above. This

:04:26. > :04:30.solid metal frame has been almost flattened by the force of the water

:04:31. > :04:35.and debris that came down. Let me show you some of the debris. It's

:04:36. > :04:40.been piled up, before it gets into the sea. Some of it was lost in the

:04:41. > :04:44.water. People have lost their garden ornaments and pots, there a mobility

:04:45. > :04:49.frame up there, even, would you believe it, the kitchen sink. All

:04:50. > :04:56.this is going to have to be cleared away and looked after as the harbour

:04:57. > :05:01.is put into some sort of semblance of order. What are you looking at

:05:02. > :05:05.here? This is very much now a response from the council and its

:05:06. > :05:10.contractors. What we need to do is restore Coverack back to its normal

:05:11. > :05:14.self, make it accessible to the many tourists who come here and make it a

:05:15. > :05:18.good place to live again for the residents. At this time of year in

:05:19. > :05:22.the summer there will be thousands of people expecting to coming here.

:05:23. > :05:27.Is it open at the moment? I think it is. If you can give the residents

:05:28. > :05:31.and the people who need to do the urgent work just a little bit of

:05:32. > :05:37.space, I'm sure Coverack will bounce back and we will be open for

:05:38. > :05:42.business as usual very quickly. Coverack will recoverack. The

:05:43. > :05:46.beginnings of the clear up our happening. Back to you.

:05:47. > :05:50.We will forgive you that pun as well.

:05:51. > :05:55.The kitchen sink as well! Luckily nobody is hurt. Cornwall isn't the

:05:56. > :06:00.only place affected by dramatic weather. Yes, but it was

:06:01. > :06:07.spectacular. We still aren't sure exactly how much rainfall but

:06:08. > :06:11.probably one month's worth of rain. We call this the Spanish plume,

:06:12. > :06:17.where hot air is dragged up from Iberia. Storms along that. Fresh air

:06:18. > :06:22.off the Atlantic forcing its way in, causing big storms. It wasn't just

:06:23. > :06:29.Cornwall. Other parts had storms overnight. Spectacular images like

:06:30. > :06:32.these. We saw over 100,000 lightning flashes since yesterday afternoon

:06:33. > :06:38.and other parts are also seeing close to half a month's or more in

:06:39. > :06:43.just around an hour. Incredible. The force of the water bending that

:06:44. > :06:47.metal bar right the way down, amazing.

:06:48. > :06:49.Thank you very much. If you had a quiet night you were one of the

:06:50. > :06:49.lucky ones. The BBC will publish details of how

:06:50. > :06:53.much it pays its on-air talent later this morning

:06:54. > :06:55.in its annual report. For the first time, the salaries

:06:56. > :06:58.of those who earn more than ?150,000 Only a third of the names

:06:59. > :07:04.on the list are women, and the Director General, Lord Hall,

:07:05. > :07:08.says the BBC has to go further Our arts correspondent

:07:09. > :07:14.David Sillito reports. They are part of everyday

:07:15. > :07:16.life for millions, but, the BBC's stars were allowed

:07:17. > :07:20.to keep their pay deals private. The Government wants greater

:07:21. > :07:26.openness, and so today the BBC will publish the details of 96

:07:27. > :07:31.of its highest-paid stars. The BBC is in the unique

:07:32. > :07:33.position of being funded I think it's reasonable the license

:07:34. > :07:38.fee payer understands where that money is spent, and particularly

:07:39. > :07:41.on significant and high salaries. When someone at the corporation

:07:42. > :07:44.earns more than the Prime Minister, I think it is reasonable

:07:45. > :07:46.we understand what they do. The corporation tried to resist

:07:47. > :07:49.the move, saying star pay has been falling over the last few years,

:07:50. > :07:52.despite increasing competition We're in a very competitive market,

:07:53. > :08:00.not just with ITN and Sky, but now with Netflix,

:08:01. > :08:02.with Amazon, with all sorts And what we have managed to do

:08:03. > :08:15.is to always pay our talent People come here because they want

:08:16. > :08:21.to come and work here, and over the last year we have

:08:22. > :08:24.reduced the amount we are paying And some think it could even drive

:08:25. > :08:29.pay up, as it gives rivals I think it's inflationary,

:08:30. > :08:36.and it is an invasion So, on all counts, I think this

:08:37. > :08:41.is one of the worst impositions The report will also reveal

:08:42. > :08:45.wider issues about pay. The BBC has already admitted that,

:08:46. > :08:48.on the list of highest-paid stars, Consumers will no longer be charged

:08:49. > :09:02.extra fees for using their credit or debit cards when

:09:03. > :09:08.paying for things. It follows an EU directive to ban

:09:09. > :09:12.the charges typically imposed by airlines, food delivery apps and

:09:13. > :09:17.small businesses. The Treasury says the fees cost consumers ?473

:09:18. > :09:20.million. That was just on 2010 alone.

:09:21. > :09:23.We will talk about that in a few minutes.

:09:24. > :09:26.The Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon has called for more

:09:27. > :09:28.discipline and loyalty from his colleagues,

:09:29. > :09:30.following leaks of cabinet discussions to the press.

:09:31. > :09:32.Let's get more from our political correspondent Alex Forsyth,

:09:33. > :09:39.They've tried to stop these leaks to the press. Everybody chatting to

:09:40. > :09:42.whoever they like. But how is it going? I think there's a recognition

:09:43. > :09:46.from plenty people in the Conservative Party that these kinds

:09:47. > :09:51.of leaks are damaging. Yesterday the Prime Minister told a Cabinet that

:09:52. > :09:55.it was vital that discussions remain private. She said briefings and

:09:56. > :09:57.counter briefings showed people were taking their responsibilities

:09:58. > :10:02.seriously. We had those comments from Michael Fallon, who said

:10:03. > :10:06.ministers should copy military values of loyalty, cohesion and

:10:07. > :10:10.discipline and even back then check this are giving their support to the

:10:11. > :10:14.Prime Minister to get tough on any Cabinet ministers who leak even

:10:15. > :10:17.perhaps sacking them. But the problem is there are fundamental

:10:18. > :10:22.differences on policy, even at the very senior levels of government,

:10:23. > :10:25.about Brexit. And also about whether or not the end that cap on public

:10:26. > :10:30.sector pay. We've heard the latest from Number 10, that they would

:10:31. > :10:35.respond to recommendations about and prison officer pay until after the

:10:36. > :10:38.summer, but with all this talk of unity, divisions still remain and I

:10:39. > :10:42.think it is unlikely with her the last of this. Thank you.

:10:43. > :10:45.Mercedes says that thousands of people in the UK who drive one

:10:46. > :10:47.of their diesel vehicles will be offered a fix

:10:48. > :10:58.We've seen this kind of thing before. What's going on? It seems

:10:59. > :11:03.like quite a big move by the company that owns Mercedes-Benz. They say 3

:11:04. > :11:07.million cars across Europe. They are rolling out a software update.

:11:08. > :11:11.They've done it. Of their compact cars already, so you may be familiar

:11:12. > :11:17.with this if you have a Mercedes-Benz compact. Hundreds of

:11:18. > :11:22.thousands of Mercedes-Benz cars have been sold in the UK in the last few

:11:23. > :11:26.years. It could well be that most of those are given the opportunity to

:11:27. > :11:31.get the update. Not recall. They aren't saying it is safety issue,

:11:32. > :11:36.but it will improve those nitrous oxide emissions that have been

:11:37. > :11:39.especially controversial. In fact, the company that owns Mercedes are

:11:40. > :11:43.being investigated in that area, but they say this update is nothing to

:11:44. > :11:47.do with that. So if you are a customer you should in theory get a

:11:48. > :11:52.letter saying to bring your car in and we will do the update, but they

:11:53. > :11:56.say if you have any issues get in touch with the person who sold you

:11:57. > :12:02.can get it fixed. Simple as that. In theory... Thank you.

:12:03. > :12:06.This is my favourite story of the day.

:12:07. > :12:09.An American boy, who was the youngest in the world

:12:10. > :12:12.to have a double hand transplant, is now able to write,

:12:13. > :12:13.dress himself and even play baseball.

:12:14. > :12:17.Zion Harvey had the operation 18 months ago at the age of eight.

:12:18. > :12:20.This was Zion Harvey before his life changing operation.

:12:21. > :12:24.His hands and feet had been amputated when he was just two

:12:25. > :12:30.Then, in 2015, he became the world's youngest person to undergo

:12:31. > :12:34.His operation at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia took

:12:35. > :12:38.Within days he was able to make small movements.

:12:39. > :12:49.I just want to write a letter to the parents,

:12:50. > :12:52.for giving me their son's hands, because they didn't have to do that

:12:53. > :12:59.There have been serious setbacks when Zion's body showed signs

:13:00. > :13:01.of rejecting his new hands, but they were overcome

:13:02. > :13:13.More than a year after surgery, he was filmed doing some of the simple

:13:14. > :13:14.things in life that he missed so much.

:13:15. > :13:18.Now I can get myself dressed without anybody helping me!

:13:19. > :13:21.Now I can get a snack out of the refrigerator

:13:22. > :13:31.I can heat up a sandwich and a piece of pizza all by myself.

:13:32. > :13:34.Doctors say the success of this transplant is partly down

:13:35. > :13:37.to the intensive management by surgeons, but they say the key

:13:38. > :13:39.has been Zion and his inspiring determination.

:13:40. > :13:53.I love that message as well. Never give up. Fantastic. He is brilliant.

:13:54. > :13:58.If you've ever used a credit card to buy a plane ticket or on a fast

:13:59. > :14:01.food app then the odds are that you had an extra charge added

:14:02. > :14:06.From January next year, businesses will banned from adding

:14:07. > :14:10.fees for card payments following an EU directive.

:14:11. > :14:13.The founder of consumer group Fairer Finance,

:14:14. > :14:16.James Daley, is in our Westminster studio.

:14:17. > :14:24.Thanks for talking to us about this. Were the charges just a way of

:14:25. > :14:28.covering costs? Is that how it started? I don't think it was. I

:14:29. > :14:32.think as prices are driven down when the budget airlines came in ten or

:14:33. > :14:36.20 years ago, they started to look for other ways to get a little bit

:14:37. > :14:41.of extra cash round the back end. So they came up with this ruse, why do

:14:42. > :14:45.we start charging people to pay by card. A bit odd. You don't get a

:14:46. > :14:49.charge for having lights on in the office, why do get a charge for

:14:50. > :14:53.paying by card? Have got to take your money somehow. Is it cheaper

:14:54. > :14:57.for companies if we pay with cash? No, actually it's more expensive.

:14:58. > :15:04.Supermarkets spend millions of pounds getting those secure vans to

:15:05. > :15:08.pick up the cash and take it to the bank. Paying by cash is cheaper, but

:15:09. > :15:12.of course there is a cost involved and we've always thought that's just

:15:13. > :15:15.the cost of doing business. You have to take your customer's money

:15:16. > :15:19.somehow and they shouldn't have to pay for the privilege of giving it

:15:20. > :15:24.to you. What about small business? Will be spit spat end of the market,

:15:25. > :15:28.where they might charge you 50p to use a card or there might be a

:15:29. > :15:33.minimum spend on a card in some places? It will hit small businesses

:15:34. > :15:36.hardest, what hopefully what it will do is force them to start shopping

:15:37. > :15:40.around with their banks, because actually a lot of the small

:15:41. > :15:43.businesses are getting a really bad deal from their bank and probably

:15:44. > :15:47.haven't switched for years and if they switch now they will be able to

:15:48. > :15:51.get the charges and so it won't be so painful and of course they can

:15:52. > :15:55.still refused to take cards up to a certain limit, what I think it will

:15:56. > :15:59.get harder for them to do that because these days people have less

:16:00. > :16:02.and less cash in their pockets. This morning I read quite a few airlines

:16:03. > :16:05.are especially annoyed about this and are digging their heels in.

:16:06. > :16:11.There have been rules in place since 2013. Have they been ignored?

:16:12. > :16:20.A bit of both. The rules were not written tightly enough. They said

:16:21. > :16:23.you can only pass on the costs of rank is charging you, and they took

:16:24. > :16:27.that to mean whatever they could come up with. -- bank. Maybe the

:16:28. > :16:33.Finance team, some of the canteen costs. Organisations like Ryanair

:16:34. > :16:37.and Flybe continue to charge 2% or 3%. For those kinds of companies

:16:38. > :16:43.they are probably getting charged in the region of 0.6% by their bank at

:16:44. > :16:46.this point, so they should not be charging more than that to the

:16:47. > :16:50.customers. Do you think there is an element that we as consumers can be

:16:51. > :16:54.at shoot -- be accused of being suckers in this, that when somebody

:16:55. > :16:59.says they will charge is 5% for this or that, we just say, OK? I know

:17:00. > :17:01.from personal experience, I have been in that situation.

:17:02. > :17:05.Unfortunately it happens right at the end of the purchase, doesn't it?

:17:06. > :17:09.You have spent all of that time shopping around trying to find the

:17:10. > :17:13.best deal. You think you have it. You invest all that time and you get

:17:14. > :17:17.to that final payment screen and it says, by the way, there is more now.

:17:18. > :17:21.About 20 thing, I cannot be bothered to go back and start all over again.

:17:22. > :17:27.-- at that point you think, I cannot. That is why it is so 1000

:17:28. > :17:33.will we see that money come off in some other way? Added on, forgive

:17:34. > :17:37.me. The famous "Administration fee" or whatever that might be, to cover

:17:38. > :17:41.the money they lose out from not charging you a fee for the use of a

:17:42. > :17:45.card? It will have to go somewhere. Hopefully it goes into the headline

:17:46. > :17:49.price. That is the fair place for it to be. There is so much that sits

:17:50. > :17:53.within a price that we get charged, all of the cost of that company, you

:17:54. > :17:56.know, in the case of airlines, their pilots and their staff and their

:17:57. > :18:00.groundstaff, the back office, we do not get surcharges for the fact

:18:01. > :18:04.there is a pilot on the plane. Why should we have a surcharge for the

:18:05. > :18:07.fact we are playing by card? -- pain. It should all go in the

:18:08. > :18:12.headline price. It is fairer and clearer for customers. James, thank

:18:13. > :18:15.you. To give you an idea, if you came in halfway through that

:18:16. > :18:19.interview, just in 2010 those extra charges for using those credit cards

:18:20. > :18:27.cost us, as consumers in the UK, ?473 million. Ouch. And it is very

:18:28. > :18:32.often at the end, when you have to pay for it. Either way, we ouch the

:18:33. > :18:36.going to charge you 10% for using this or whatever it might be. -- by

:18:37. > :18:41.the way. Well, it will change in January. The main stories today: a

:18:42. > :18:49.cleanup operation is under way in Cornwall following flash floods in

:18:50. > :18:54.the village of Coverack. And the BBC will provide details today of what

:18:55. > :18:58.it pays most 100 of its presenters. We saw the impact of the weather in

:18:59. > :18:59.Coverack. Matthew, if you had a quiet night, you are probably

:19:00. > :19:08.unusual last night? Most of the country was quiet, but

:19:09. > :19:12.southern England had a torrid one. Lots of storms around, 100,000

:19:13. > :19:16.flashes of lightning since yesterday afternoon across southern England,

:19:17. > :19:20.South Wales and through the Channel. Seems like this shot captured

:19:21. > :19:25.earlier on in Chelmsford in SX. There are still some more storms to

:19:26. > :19:28.come. Things are quiet and in down at the moment but as temperatures

:19:29. > :19:31.rise we will expect further thunderstorms, and a bit further

:19:32. > :19:35.north and we saw yesterday. So they could be more disruption. If you are

:19:36. > :19:38.heading onto the road stage into the forecast and your BBC local radio

:19:39. > :19:42.station. To show you where the storms have been over the last few

:19:43. > :19:45.hours, they are now drifting away from East Anglia and Lincolnshire.

:19:46. > :19:49.Some pushing up into the Midlands. And there are some in the southern

:19:50. > :19:53.portion of the Irish Sea. We are not totally done with them, but most of

:19:54. > :19:56.you will have a dry morning. More cloud across England and Wales

:19:57. > :20:01.compares what you have seen. Don't take the position of those blues too

:20:02. > :20:05.literally. They will be going north into parts of northern England, one

:20:06. > :20:10.of two in parts of Scotland. Do not rule out the odd rumble of thunder

:20:11. > :20:14.in Northern Ireland. As temperatures rise, with some fairly hot and humid

:20:15. > :20:19.conditions, particularly in eastern parts of England we could see highs

:20:20. > :20:23.around 31 or 32 in Lincolnshire and East Anglia in particular. That will

:20:24. > :20:26.set further storms. We do not expect to see further storms across the

:20:27. > :20:29.south-west this afternoon. Nowhere near as bad as it was yesterday. One

:20:30. > :20:33.of two showers yesterday. North Wales, north Midlands north-west

:20:34. > :20:36.England. As we go into the evening rush-hour, we could see torrential

:20:37. > :20:42.downpours. Dusty winds and large hail. Rain on and off through the

:20:43. > :20:46.afternoon, and a few showers in Scotland in the daytime. Sunshine in

:20:47. > :20:49.the north-west Highlands could lift temperatures into the high 20s you.

:20:50. > :20:53.It turns wet in the evening overnight into Scotland. And the

:20:54. > :20:56.occasional rain across England and Wales. Most of the thunderstorms

:20:57. > :21:00.will have fizzled out. There are conditions in to the west later on.

:21:01. > :21:03.Temperatures will dip in the west later. For much of Scotland and

:21:04. > :21:07.northern England in particular, a sticky night. Temperatures not

:21:08. > :21:13.drawing much lower than 18 degrees. A cloudy start to Thursday. Some

:21:14. > :21:17.occasional rain, wettest of all in the far north-east of Scotland. Sky

:21:18. > :21:22.is bright for most. Sunshine out before showers pushing to Northern

:21:23. > :21:29.Ireland later. You saw the signals there. Fresh air is on its way. In

:21:30. > :21:32.the low 20s in the south-east. In the teens for many. Continuing that

:21:33. > :21:37.theme on Friday. Low pressure pushing in across Ireland. That will

:21:38. > :21:40.pick up the wind. A very windy in western and southern parts on

:21:41. > :21:44.Friday. A spell of rain. Heavy bursts working from west to east and

:21:45. > :21:48.some sunshine at times. Probably the brightest weather in the north-east

:21:49. > :21:54.of Scotland. Low pressure never too far away as we go into the weekend.

:21:55. > :21:58.The heatwave, none of the massive thunderstorms we have seen so far in

:21:59. > :22:00.the past and if I was. Occasional showers just about anywhere.

:22:01. > :22:02.Sunshine in between. Temperatures lower than they should be for this

:22:03. > :22:16.time of year. When was the last time you had cod?

:22:17. > :22:20.Probably a couple of weeks ago. I love cod. I had some last night.

:22:21. > :22:23.It is arguably the country's favourite fish and now North Sea cod

:22:24. > :22:25.is officially back on the menu again.

:22:26. > :22:28.The Marine Stewardship Council says cod stocks have finally recovered

:22:29. > :22:32.Lorna Gordon has been finding out what this means for our fishermen

:22:33. > :22:44.In Peterhead Harbour, the biggest whitefish port

:22:45. > :22:47.in Europe, the fishermen are offloading their latest catch.

:22:48. > :22:50.It has been a good few days at sea for these trawlermen.

:22:51. > :22:55.Among the fish being offloaded, cod - and plenty of it.

:22:56. > :23:00.We have increased the net sizes to reduce the catches

:23:01. > :23:06.One decade ago the cod fisheries in the North Sea were close

:23:07. > :23:09.to collapse, but quotas and measures taken by the fishermen themselves

:23:10. > :23:16.Scottish fishermen have also been in restricted areas for spawning

:23:17. > :23:18.cod, and high abundance in rates of cod.

:23:19. > :23:22.In some years there was upwards of 50,000 square miles closed off

:23:23. > :23:29.In Peterhead fish market there is now plenty of cod for sale,

:23:30. > :23:36.and from today all of it will be certified as sustainable.

:23:37. > :23:40.It has taken us eight or nine years to get here.

:23:41. > :23:44.We have seen the dark days but now we have the bright days.

:23:45. > :23:49.For the wider fishing community the upturn in the cod stocks is one

:23:50. > :23:52.of several reasons they're feeling buoyed.

:23:53. > :23:58.Dozens of new boats are on order for the fleet here at Peterhead.

:23:59. > :24:01.There is a real sense amongst the fishermen here that the work

:24:02. > :24:11.they have done to preserve the fish stocks in the North Sea is helping

:24:12. > :24:13.to protect their industry for future generations.

:24:14. > :24:16.And these sustainability certifications that has been awarded

:24:17. > :24:20.And these sustainability certifications that has been awarded

:24:21. > :24:23.to North Sea cod could well mean new markets opening up

:24:24. > :24:27.A lot of supermarkets are looking for a sustainable,

:24:28. > :24:31.So now that the cod here is MSC-certified it could be easier

:24:32. > :24:34.to sell to a number of UK supermarkets and fish and chip

:24:35. > :24:38.So what does this mean for those of us who love cod?

:24:39. > :24:42.It's great news that it is back on the menu from a sustainable

:24:43. > :24:48.Having something that has that traceability is important.

:24:49. > :24:51.For somebody of my age, I think cod hasn't been offered

:24:52. > :24:59.There will be regular checks to see that cod stocks in our waters remain

:25:00. > :25:05.There is confidence that after years of decline,

:25:06. > :25:20.North Sea cod is sustainable once again.

:25:21. > :25:28.Beautiful scenes, and great news if you like cod. I do like cod.

:25:29. > :25:31.Later this morning a team of divers will attempt to recover a famous

:25:32. > :25:35.piece of Second World War history from a loch in the West of Scotland.

:25:36. > :25:51.Good morning from the Glenn Strachan estate. It is windy here at the

:25:52. > :25:57.conditions are looking great for this morning's dive. This place was

:25:58. > :26:00.given such a level of secrecy during the Second World War that

:26:01. > :26:03.smokescreens were put up around the lock so that people didn't know what

:26:04. > :26:08.was happening. That is because dancing bombs were being tested.

:26:09. > :26:13.This morning some divers will be attempting to raise two of them, so

:26:14. > :26:17.they will be seen for the first time in more than 70 years. They are set

:26:18. > :29:36.to go on public display. We will have more on that

:29:37. > :29:39.I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom

:29:40. > :29:45.Now, though, it's back to Louise and Dan.

:29:46. > :29:52.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

:29:53. > :29:56.Good morning. Thanks for being with us on this Wednesday morning. The

:29:57. > :29:57.main news: A big clean-up operation

:29:58. > :30:00.is taking place in Cornwall, after flash floods swept

:30:01. > :30:02.through the village of Coverack Residents reported hailstones

:30:03. > :30:06.the size of 50 pence pieces, and the village was divided in two

:30:07. > :30:19.by a four foot torrent of water. Later today engineers will assess

:30:20. > :30:29.damage to roads and property you've been showing us around and

:30:30. > :30:36.the damage is quite extensive! It is. The harbour where we are now is

:30:37. > :30:43.right down the bottom, next to the sea, and there are hills all around

:30:44. > :30:48.which bring quiet streams, normally, down to the sea but last night they

:30:49. > :30:53.became four feet rivers of deep water, which brought everything with

:30:54. > :31:01.it. This is a garden shed which is upside down. Hard to believe how

:31:02. > :31:08.much power that water had until you see this and you can imagine the

:31:09. > :31:14.power it had. Some people of the local council have turned up and

:31:15. > :31:19.they are shovelling away. There's just loads of mud here. It is

:31:20. > :31:23.accessible, but local people are keen to stress that they will be

:31:24. > :31:28.open for business so you have to be careful not to slip over. There's

:31:29. > :31:32.lots of deep mud and gunk that needs to be taken away, then we've got

:31:33. > :31:38.this beautiful cottage, the beachhouse. We spoke to the owner of

:31:39. > :31:42.that last night and he said it was the suddenness of the water in a

:31:43. > :31:46.dating his property which was the most terrifying. About four or five

:31:47. > :31:50.feet of water in there within minutes. It's all gone now and he's

:31:51. > :31:55.left soggy carpets and a big cleanup job. But you can see the rocks, the

:31:56. > :31:59.pebbles, the cobbles that have been brought down and then all the other

:32:00. > :32:03.debris in the distance. We showed you some of that early. It includes

:32:04. > :32:09.things like a mobility scooter, garden furniture, fence panels, even

:32:10. > :32:13.a kitchen sink. It is a mess, but not as much of a mess as many people

:32:14. > :32:19.feared during the dramatic emergency incident yesterday afternoon when

:32:20. > :32:22.lives were said to be at least. Two people had to be airlifted. They

:32:23. > :32:27.thought it might have been more than that. Most people are still in their

:32:28. > :32:30.homes, even though about 50 properties have been affected

:32:31. > :32:40.overwrought and I think a sense that at tourism season, they will have to

:32:41. > :32:45.be ready as quickly as they can be. But it will be a tough job for the

:32:46. > :32:46.next few hours. Thank you very much indeed. It is quite extensive

:32:47. > :32:55.damage. Thank you. And we will have the weather

:32:56. > :33:01.forecasting about 10- 15 minutes. Matt says it was a stubborn storm.

:33:02. > :33:06.And over 100,000 lightning strikes! Crazy weather. Lots of people have

:33:07. > :33:07.been up early, either unable to sleep or watching the various

:33:08. > :33:08.thunderstorms across the UK. The BBC will publish details of how

:33:09. > :33:12.much it pays its on-air talent later this morning

:33:13. > :33:14.in its annual report. For the first time the salaries

:33:15. > :33:18.of those who earn more than ?150,000 The Director General, Lord Hall,

:33:19. > :33:25.says the BBC has much to do on equality after admitting only

:33:26. > :33:29.a third of the names on the list Businesses will be banned

:33:30. > :33:33.from charging fees on debit and credit card

:33:34. > :33:38.transactions from January. It follows an EU directive to ban

:33:39. > :33:41.the charges typically imposed by airlines,

:33:42. > :33:43.food delivery apps The treasury says the fees have cost

:33:44. > :34:01.consumers ?473 million since 2010. As prices got driven down when the

:34:02. > :34:05.budget airlines came in ten or 20 years ago, they started to look for

:34:06. > :34:09.other ways to get a little bit of extra cash around the back end and

:34:10. > :34:14.so they came up with this ruse, why do we charge people to pay by card?

:34:15. > :34:18.It had been an odd one. You don't get a charge for having lights on in

:34:19. > :34:22.the office, so why do you get one for paying by card? They got to take

:34:23. > :34:28.your money somehow. That starts from January. Thousands of owners of

:34:29. > :34:30.Mercedes-Benz diesel vehicles in the UK are to be offered an improvement

:34:31. > :34:31.in the system. The German manufacturer, Daimler,

:34:34. > :34:35.for alleged emissions cheating, A total of 3 million vehicles

:35:22. > :35:24.boy who was the youngest in the world to have a double hand

:35:25. > :35:31.transplant is now able to write, dress himself and even played --

:35:32. > :35:34.play baseball! He had the operation two years ago after his hands and

:35:35. > :35:39.feet were amputated when he had sepsis. There were setbacks when his

:35:40. > :35:45.body showed signs of rejecting the hands but that was overcome with

:35:46. > :35:49.medication. Doctors say the key was Zion and his inspiring determination

:35:50. > :35:53.to succeed. He is a wonderful little boy. More

:35:54. > :35:58.on that later. Coming up, all of the weather details, wherever you are.

:35:59. > :36:05.Good morning, Sally! What's the weather like over there?

:36:06. > :36:08.I attempted to do a little bit of a weather forecast for the opener

:36:09. > :36:13.earlier and they got it wrong. Not terribly wrong. I said it might be

:36:14. > :36:17.stormy towards the end of the week and Matt pointed out that there

:36:18. > :36:21.would be rain and strong winds, but even of that happening it is and

:36:22. > :36:24.what you would necessarily call a storm. Shall we talk about the

:36:25. > :36:26.cricket? Good morning. England's cricketers

:36:27. > :36:28.are through to the women's World Cup final after a thrilling last-over

:36:29. > :36:31.victory against South Africa. England restricted South Africa

:36:32. > :36:33.to just 218, which looked But after losing eight

:36:34. > :36:42.wickets in their reply, Anya Shrubsole hitting a boundary

:36:43. > :36:47.with the first ball she faced England will now play Australia

:36:48. > :36:51.or India at Lords on Sunday. I think it's kind of

:36:52. > :36:53.sinking in right now. Once you get past the relief

:36:54. > :36:56.of getting over the line... We knew we came into this tournament

:36:57. > :37:00.with a good shot if we play You can't win tournaments

:37:01. > :37:03.if you aren't in the final, so we're pleased to be in the final

:37:04. > :37:07.and one more game to go. England and Scotland's famous

:37:08. > :37:10.old rivalry is set for another showdown tonight, this

:37:11. > :37:12.time in the Group Stage of the Women's Euro

:37:13. > :37:17.2017 championship. England are the favourite after

:37:18. > :37:20.narrowly missing out two years ago in the World Cup. It is the first

:37:21. > :37:28.major tournament Scotland have qualified for. There are certain

:37:29. > :37:32.things you expect from the Netherlands. But while football is

:37:33. > :37:37.also full of wild assumptions, this tournament feels different. Scotland

:37:38. > :37:42.are here for a start, while England are among the favourites. For the

:37:43. > :37:47.first time in years England expects. We want to use it as a positive. See

:37:48. > :37:51.it as an opportunity to exploit and get amongst it. We did struggle

:37:52. > :37:55.before. We made a championship with an English football team on the back

:37:56. > :38:00.of what's been a great summer for all of our junior teams. For the

:38:01. > :38:04.women's game, we want to take this to the next level. England's history

:38:05. > :38:09.at the Euros is a chequered one. In 2009 there were runners up to

:38:10. > :38:12.Germany, but fell apart at the tournament four years ago in Sweden

:38:13. > :38:16.and finished bottom of the group. That failure led to a change in

:38:17. > :38:21.coach and a change in fortune. They then finished third under a new

:38:22. > :38:28.coach and arrived here fit than they've ever been before. Scotland

:38:29. > :38:32.have made history just by being here. This is their first major

:38:33. > :38:37.tournament. OBR without a number of key players, including their

:38:38. > :38:41.world-class Arsenal player. We put so much into the team to get us to

:38:42. > :38:44.this point. We would just love to experience this, but they aren't

:38:45. > :38:48.here and that brings us close together as a team. We will face it

:38:49. > :38:52.head-on. While Scotland's players are preparing for the biggest game

:38:53. > :38:56.of their careers, England's have been brushing up on more than just

:38:57. > :39:00.tactics. Everybody knows that rivalry and that battle. Yesterday

:39:01. > :39:04.we had a meeting, kind of a history lesson about the rivalry, because we

:39:05. > :39:08.all know there is a rivalry but actually what's behind it. So we had

:39:09. > :39:11.a sitdown. If my history lessons were like that in school I would

:39:12. > :39:15.have listened more! History favours Germany, which has won the past

:39:16. > :39:20.European Championships. But this is a country with its own foot walling

:39:21. > :39:22.folklore. England and Scotland will also hope it is where they make

:39:23. > :39:33.their mark. Commentary of that match is on Radio

:39:34. > :39:38.5 Live from 745 p.m.. It has been a summer of transfer frustration but

:39:39. > :39:46.Antonio Conte has been given a pay rise!

:39:47. > :39:49.Conte - who has two years left on his deal -

:39:50. > :39:52.has signed a new improved contract with the Premier League champions.

:39:53. > :39:55.He lifted the Premier League title at the first attempt last season

:39:56. > :39:58.and also guided them to the FA Cup final.

:39:59. > :40:03.The golf gets under way tomorrow morning. The 10th time the open has

:40:04. > :40:07.been held there. One of the most memorable was in 1988 when Justin

:40:08. > :40:11.Rose chipped it at the 18th to win the amateur prize of fourth overall,

:40:12. > :40:15.setting him on his way to a great career. He now has a US Open title

:40:16. > :40:18.at Olympic gold. But he would still love to win at Birkdale.

:40:19. > :40:25.It's the one tournament I've dreamt about since I was a young boy.

:40:26. > :40:27.Especially at Royal Birkdale, you take an Open championship

:40:28. > :40:30.anywhere, you take a Major challenge anywhere, but if they happen

:40:31. > :40:33.to line up at special venues - I was fortunate to win

:40:34. > :40:36.at Marion because that club has something special about it

:40:37. > :40:40.and obviously to do it here at Royal Birkdale would be a kind

:40:41. > :40:43.of full circle moment, based on I guess what I did in 1998.

:40:44. > :40:47.So, yeah, a special venue and lots of good memories.

:40:48. > :40:54.Justin Rose better watch out! We better be smart because he is

:40:55. > :40:58.playing with Thomas. This is what Justin Thomas is planning to wear.

:40:59. > :41:03.It looks very much like what you are wearing, Dan.

:41:04. > :41:08.Is that a suit jacket? I think it might be like a cardigan.

:41:09. > :41:11.Because he couldn't play in a suit jacket.

:41:12. > :41:14.A bit restrictive at the top of the backswing.

:41:15. > :41:18.Potentially. But also a tie. A bit restrictive? I do like

:41:19. > :41:25.dressing up for golf. Do you? Oh, yeah. I would never wear

:41:26. > :41:28.white trousers in life generally, but I think they are Kay on a golf

:41:29. > :41:31.course. What about red trousers?

:41:32. > :41:35.I've got the lot! Patterned trousers?

:41:36. > :41:42.I was playing last week and everyone has to wear tartan. I had a little

:41:43. > :41:48.green number. After I hit two shots someone said my golf was worse in

:41:49. > :41:55.that round. Thanks.

:41:56. > :42:02.We've already been talking this morning about the BBC's annual

:42:03. > :42:04.report which will be published later today.

:42:05. > :42:12.It contains details of how much the Corporation pays its talent.

:42:13. > :42:16.The salaries of those who earn more than ?150,000 a year will be

:42:17. > :42:19.revealed for the first time and the BBC has already admitted

:42:20. > :42:22.that only a third of the names on the list are women.

:42:23. > :42:25.We can talk now to our media editor Amol Rajan who's outside

:42:26. > :42:31.The figure is over ?150,000. How will it rate down? Good morning. It

:42:32. > :42:36.will be 96 people. The annual report last year had 109 people paid a big

:42:37. > :42:40.number. Now it will be 96 and it will break down in salary bands of

:42:41. > :42:44.?50,000. All the way up to a number that's probably going to end up in

:42:45. > :42:48.over seven figures. It is worth saying this is something to be busy

:42:49. > :42:52.strongly resisted. They said they didn't want these numbers to come

:42:53. > :42:55.out. They did publish how much they were paying on air talent in the

:42:56. > :42:58.past but they didn't want the numbers to be attached to specific

:42:59. > :43:02.individuals because they say those individuals will now ask for massive

:43:03. > :43:06.pay rises. Why would they ask for pay rises and how toxic is all of

:43:07. > :43:11.this? I think it is potentially very toxic. Some people will look at

:43:12. > :43:15.these numbers and say, hang on a second, this person is paid a huge

:43:16. > :43:17.amount more than me for doing something that's quite finance

:43:18. > :43:22.simple. There's also the issue you mentioned a moment ago about gender

:43:23. > :43:26.equality. Of the 96 people, two thirds are men and only one third

:43:27. > :43:31.women. But I think the question is, why they resisted it, they would say

:43:32. > :43:38.that if you are one of those 96 people and you are paid pretty well,

:43:39. > :43:42.someone who does a similar job to you is paid more, you will ask for a

:43:43. > :43:46.pay rise. The BBC say they are trying to bring the costs of all of

:43:47. > :43:50.this on their talent down to try to take money out of the BBC budget

:43:51. > :43:53.overall and by publishing the salaries what they are effectively

:43:54. > :43:57.doing, this is the BBC's argument, is staying to this on a talent that

:43:58. > :44:01.you are paid less than someone who does a similar job and therefore

:44:02. > :44:04.you've got reason to be slightly jealous of them and ask for a pay

:44:05. > :44:08.rise. That might not make sense demands of the public, that it might

:44:09. > :44:11.be how some broadcasters think. Tell us about this inequality. The

:44:12. > :44:16.director-general has already addressed this, but only one third

:44:17. > :44:22.of the people are women on that list. Yes, the director-general Tony

:44:23. > :44:27.Hall said to me last night that the BBC will do a hell of a lot more

:44:28. > :44:33.when it comes to gender equality and diversity. I think the BBC feel they

:44:34. > :44:38.are on safer to rein in general. They got a lot more to do and only a

:44:39. > :44:42.third think it is unacceptable. But I think they've got a good story to

:44:43. > :44:46.tell about the changes they've made. Since Tony Hall has been

:44:47. > :44:50.director-general, over 60% of the people that have entered this salary

:44:51. > :44:55.band, getting paid more than one of the ?50,000, are women and there

:44:56. > :45:02.have been some high-profile appointments lately -- ?150,000. So

:45:03. > :45:06.I think the BBC feel they have a difficult story to tell and things

:45:07. > :45:10.are changing. Is the BBC prepared for public reaction on this? I think

:45:11. > :45:15.so. The mood is one of people being braced... Gary Lineker said it was

:45:16. > :45:20.tin hat day. There are people who are nervous, but there is also deep

:45:21. > :45:27.recognition. There is a report on the BBC, rather than someone who

:45:28. > :45:32.works on behalf of the BBC, but this is public money and the public has a

:45:33. > :45:35.right to see how this money is spent. The transparency is

:45:36. > :45:38.incredibly important and can flush out problems like gender equality

:45:39. > :45:43.and ultimately this is for the public to decide. This is for the

:45:44. > :45:46.licence fee payer to decide as to whether or not these 96 people

:45:47. > :45:51.represent value for money or not. Thank you.

:45:52. > :45:55.And that will all be published at 11 o'clock this morning.

:45:56. > :45:58.It's 07:45 and you're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:45:59. > :46:07.Matthew has the weather. It has been dramatic.

:46:08. > :46:10.It has. You saw the scenes in Cornwall, but other parts of the

:46:11. > :46:13.country were affected by the storms as well. 100,000 lightning strikes

:46:14. > :46:18.and is yesterday afternoon. Sleepless nights at a southernmost

:46:19. > :46:22.counties. We aren't done yet. Things have quietened down, but we could

:46:23. > :46:26.still see more severe storms in the afternoon. If you haven't seen

:46:27. > :46:30.anything yet, there is no guarantee you'll get away with it. Stay tuned

:46:31. > :46:34.to your local BBC Radio station of storm start rumble through your

:46:35. > :46:39.area. In the last few hours, it has a mainly across East Anglia and

:46:40. > :46:43.literature. They are clearing away. They are pushing up through the

:46:44. > :46:48.Midlands. Big gaps around. Many starting the day drive. Those

:46:49. > :46:52.showers will push into northern England and Wales in the coming

:46:53. > :46:56.hours. There will be some places that avoid them altogether, that is

:46:57. > :47:02.the nature of these storms. 12 working into southern Scotland are

:47:03. > :47:07.the afternoon. -- one or two. Rain on and off through the second half

:47:08. > :47:11.of the day. England and Wales should be dry through the morning.

:47:12. > :47:14.Temperatures will rise in eastern areas to about 32 Celsius. Cooler on

:47:15. > :47:19.the southern and western coast thanks to the presence of cloud.

:47:20. > :47:25.Showers will be nowhere as severe as whistle yesterday in Cornwall. North

:47:26. > :47:28.Wales, the Midlands and north-west England are more likely to see

:47:29. > :47:32.torrential storms. The gusty winds and large hail coming with them. The

:47:33. > :47:36.odd rumble of thunder in Northern Ireland. Not everybody will see

:47:37. > :47:41.these storms. Some places will stay dry. Only a few showers in Scotland.

:47:42. > :47:44.Parts of north-west Scotland will have lovely temperatures into the

:47:45. > :47:49.high 20s. Scotland will get wet overnight. A few rumbles of thunder.

:47:50. > :47:53.Only one or two storms for England and Wales. The rain turning right

:47:54. > :47:57.into the night. Into the west the skies are clear and it will be much

:47:58. > :48:01.cooler than last night. Through Scotland and much of England,

:48:02. > :48:06.another muggy night in store. Temperatures no higher than the high

:48:07. > :48:10.teens. Into Thursday, there could still be some thunderstorms around,

:48:11. > :48:15.but any rain clears away by morning. Showers in Northern Ireland later.

:48:16. > :48:19.In between, even if you start with cloud and occasional rantings will

:48:20. > :48:24.turn dry and bright, but also a good deal fresher. Low 20s at the very

:48:25. > :48:30.best tomorrow. We continue that fresher story on Friday. That will

:48:31. > :48:34.push a weather front, particularly across England and Wales, with heavy

:48:35. > :48:38.bursts of rain around. Driest in northern Scotland. It will feel much

:48:39. > :48:42.cooler still. Temperatures for most of you around the mid-to high teens.

:48:43. > :48:47.Temperatures lower than you would expect at this time of year after

:48:48. > :48:51.starting on a hot note. We continue blustery on the weekend. If you have

:48:52. > :48:55.any plans this weekend, it will be cooler times, especially when the is

:48:56. > :49:01.around, but sunshine in between. -- when the rain is around.

:49:02. > :49:15.Don't mix your words up like me. You mean when you said only one third of

:49:16. > :49:16.the women are women? You know what I meant.

:49:17. > :49:19.A daring underwater mission to recover some World War II

:49:20. > :49:22."bouncing bombs" will take place on a Scottish Loch in a few hours.

:49:23. > :49:25.The bombs were featured in the legendary War film,

:49:26. > :49:27.Dambusters, and were tested in Western Scotland -

:49:28. > :49:30.where Catriona Renton is at Loch Striven for us this morning.

:49:31. > :49:39.Good morning. What are they planning to do? And good morning. It is a bit

:49:40. > :49:43.windy this morning but the conditions are shaping up well for

:49:44. > :49:47.this morning's dive. Such was the secrecy around this place during the

:49:48. > :49:51.Second World War that smoke was generated so that the public

:49:52. > :49:57.couldn't see what was going on here. Midget submarines and bouncing bombs

:49:58. > :50:00.were being tested. As you said, the dambuster raid is caught the public

:50:01. > :50:05.imagination and much was learned about the types of bouncing bomb

:50:06. > :50:08.used there. But the ones tested here, the naval equivalent, much

:50:09. > :50:12.less is known about them. That is, until now.

:50:15. > :50:18.But it also has an important place in British military

:50:19. > :50:21.Today divers will attempt another daring rescue mission here.

:50:22. > :50:23.In 1943, bouncing bombs were tested here.

:50:24. > :50:32.They were called Highballs, invented by Sir Barnes Wallis.

:50:33. > :50:35.Another was used in the dambusters in Germany.

:50:36. > :50:39.Highball was designed to sink enemy ships.

:50:40. > :50:42.Sir Barnes Wallace came up with an idea, a bomb that didn't

:50:43. > :50:45.just explode where it landed but would bounce over the surface

:50:46. > :50:48.of the water, like a skimming stone, until it hit its target.

:50:49. > :51:00.The particular focus was the German battleship, the Tirpitz.

:51:01. > :51:03.In the end, though, Highball bombs were never used,

:51:04. > :51:07.but they have lain on the bed of the Loch for almost 70 years.

:51:08. > :51:10.So far, only divers have been able to see them up close.

:51:11. > :51:14.I feel that people should have the chance to see these objects.

:51:15. > :51:17.They are of an age, of a technological innovation that

:51:18. > :51:25.Final preparations have been made, and all that remains now

:51:26. > :51:29.is for these pieces of history to be brought to the surface

:51:30. > :51:40.for the public to see for the first time.

:51:41. > :51:46.I am joined now by Mark Paisey from the British Sub-Aqua Club. Tell us

:51:47. > :51:51.about what is going to happen here logistically this morning? Good

:51:52. > :51:55.morning. Our divers are getting ready to go and mark the Fireballs

:51:56. > :51:58.that will be lifted today. You can see the Royal Navy support ship

:51:59. > :52:01.there, the bombs will be lifted and winched aboard that around

:52:02. > :52:07.lunchtime. Tell us why you are involved. I so many people involved.

:52:08. > :52:10.Yes, we have three big Scottish companies and 12 divers from the

:52:11. > :52:14.British Sub-Aqua Club, but basically it is to secure the history and

:52:15. > :52:18.uncover what is a lesson in story about the Eyeball weapon. Why are

:52:19. > :52:22.you so interested personally on it? I am a former RAF pilot and a diver,

:52:23. > :52:26.and I love the fact that we can combine both in a project. It is

:52:27. > :52:30.exciting. This is captured tipple's imagination. So many people want to

:52:31. > :52:34.get involved and see these things. And it is going to happen. It is,

:52:35. > :52:38.they will be sent to museums for restoration and everybody will be

:52:39. > :52:42.able to see and take part in it. It is really good. Thank you to

:52:43. > :52:45.speaking to us. As Mark says, hopefully we will get a glimpse of

:52:46. > :52:50.these bombs at lunchtime. What an amazing thing to try to do. Catriona

:52:51. > :52:52.Renton, thank you. I know she said it was windy, but it looks gorgeous

:52:53. > :53:00.there this morning. The way product recalls

:53:01. > :53:04.are organised in the UK is not fit for purpose according

:53:05. > :53:11.to the campaign group Yes, safety and people's homes has

:53:12. > :53:13.come to the forefront of people's minds after the Grenfell Tower fire.

:53:14. > :53:14.It is being scrutinised heavily. Product safety is at the top

:53:15. > :53:17.of a lot of people's minds Today the consumer group Which has

:53:18. > :53:21.some pretty strong words for the product recall system,

:53:22. > :53:23.where companies tell customers to return their items

:53:24. > :53:25.for safety reasons. Which say the system's not fit

:53:26. > :53:28.for purpose and potentially putting Now, the Chartered Trading Standards

:53:29. > :53:33.Institute plays a major role in testing products and getting

:53:34. > :53:38.businesses to take them off shelves We're joined by Adam Scorer,

:53:39. > :53:54.who's the Director of Policy there. Good morning, Adam. Good morning. Do

:53:55. > :53:58.you think the system is putting people's lives at risk? I think the

:53:59. > :54:01.system is broken and when you have unsafe products on shelves and in

:54:02. > :54:05.people's homes, there is a to well-being. It is your job, isn't

:54:06. > :54:08.it, at the Trading Standards Institute, to test those products

:54:09. > :54:12.and make sure that people have confidence in them. No, it is the

:54:13. > :54:16.job of Trading Standards officers employed by local authorities to

:54:17. > :54:19.test products, to do what we call market surveillance, to make sure

:54:20. > :54:22.that companies comply with regulations, including requiring

:54:23. > :54:26.them to do recalls. And then to get them off the shelves. It is a local

:54:27. > :54:29.authority function, it is organised and resource locally, and with all

:54:30. > :54:33.the stresses on local authority budgets it should be no surprise

:54:34. > :54:36.that when we have had over 50% cut and resources to Trading Standards

:54:37. > :54:41.that they look at local issues. Product safety is primarily a

:54:42. > :54:44.national issue. That is why we agree with Which, in just about everybody

:54:45. > :54:47.else who pays this issue any attention at all, that we need a

:54:48. > :54:51.national centralised expert technical body to make sure we have

:54:52. > :54:55.the level of testing and market surveillance that we know will keep

:54:56. > :55:00.people safe. You guys are experts in the area of safety. Do you think

:55:01. > :55:05.that there are electrical goods out there that you have not tested,

:55:06. > :55:09.which may be at risk to people? What I would say is that Trading

:55:10. > :55:14.Standards officers, again, organised locally, can do less and less

:55:15. > :55:17.product testing. The emphasis from local authority paymasters who

:55:18. > :55:20.employ them are that you look at local issues, local trading

:55:21. > :55:25.complaints, issues that affect Bell local community. There is less and

:55:26. > :55:29.less testing going on. There is more and more reliance on companies to

:55:30. > :55:32.self compliance to make sure that self certifying is going on against

:55:33. > :55:36.the standards. There is no question, the degradation that has happened in

:55:37. > :55:40.our product safety system is due to a lack of resources over a number of

:55:41. > :55:44.years and organising its locally rather than centrally, and also, to

:55:45. > :55:47.be honest, a lack of focus from central government, which is the

:55:48. > :55:51.only body that will be able to organise this properly. On that

:55:52. > :55:54.point, the government says that they are already considering the

:55:55. > :55:59.framework for a national body to support consumers on product safety.

:56:00. > :56:03.Have they prioritise this enough? It is an unpalatable truth that action

:56:04. > :56:06.follows tragedy. I have got no doubt at all but the government is

:56:07. > :56:11.absolutely focused on getting this right now. I do not think that has

:56:12. > :56:15.been the case over the past couple of years but now there are immediate

:56:16. > :56:17.things that they can do. There is a website that everybody, consumers,

:56:18. > :56:22.retailers, manufacturers, can look at. There is a national technical

:56:23. > :56:25.body to intervene and do testing. Unfortunately you can have all the

:56:26. > :56:29.regulations and testing in the world but they need to be enforced.

:56:30. > :56:32.Government needs to look at the way in which we organise Trading

:56:33. > :56:35.Standards. Some issues need to be done regionally and strategically,

:56:36. > :56:40.not locally. And we need to have some resources to enable expert,

:56:41. > :56:44.skilled, trained product safety officers to be able to intervene

:56:45. > :56:48.directly with companies to make sure that these things do not get on the

:56:49. > :56:53.shelves, let alone dealing with something after a problem arises.

:56:54. > :56:57.Adam, thank you. Clearly there is a bit of urgency around this now, with

:56:58. > :57:05.Which St Leonards be some action taken. -- stating there needs to be.

:57:06. > :57:11.There is a big cleanup operation going on in Cornwall. While we look

:57:12. > :00:28.at that, time to find out what is happening wherever

:00:29. > :00:31.I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom

:00:32. > :00:39.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

:00:40. > :00:47.A clean-up operation is underway in Cornwall after flash floods sent

:00:48. > :00:49.a four-foot torrent of water through the streets.

:00:50. > :00:50.People had to be winched from their homes

:00:51. > :00:52.as torrential rain and huge hailstones bore down

:00:53. > :01:01.They're hard at work here this morning clearing the roads of the

:01:02. > :01:05.rubbish and the rubble and there is a garden shed that's been brought

:01:06. > :01:11.down here from above by the floodwater. The weather in Cornwall

:01:12. > :01:13.may not be as dramatic today, there could be more severe storms later. I

:01:14. > :01:25.will have an update in 15 minutes. Good morning.

:01:26. > :01:29.It's Wednesday, 19th July. The BBC is to reveal how much it

:01:30. > :01:36.pays many of its presenters as it admits just a third

:01:37. > :01:42.of the highest-paid stars are women. Extra fees for people paying

:01:43. > :01:45.with credit or debit cards are to be scrapped saving consumers nearly

:01:46. > :01:56.?0.5 billion every year. In sport, England's cricketers

:01:57. > :01:58.are through to the women's World Cup final after a dramatic victory over

:01:59. > :02:00.South Africa. This shot won the match with just

:02:01. > :02:03.two balls remaining. They'll play either Australia

:02:04. > :02:05.or India on Sunday. I'm going to be talking

:02:06. > :02:08.to the founder of Not on the High Street about how

:02:09. > :02:11.she started a multi-million pound Now I can get myself dressed without

:02:12. > :02:20.anybody helping me. And how the first child

:02:21. > :02:22.to have a double hand transplant is fulfilling his dreams two years

:02:23. > :02:28.after his operation. He is a love as well. More on that

:02:29. > :02:35.later. A big clean-up operation

:02:36. > :02:37.is taking place in Cornwall, after flash floods swept

:02:38. > :02:39.through the village of Coverack Residents reported hailstones

:02:40. > :02:43.the size of 50 pence pieces and the village was divided in two

:02:44. > :02:46.by a four-foot torrent of water. How's this for the start

:02:47. > :02:57.of the summer holidays? A Coastguard helicopter winching

:02:58. > :03:00.people to safety in the Cornish Hours of massive hailstones,

:03:01. > :03:06.wind and thunder, then hours of torrential rain,

:03:07. > :03:09.brought tonnes of rock and debris Even a garden shed washed

:03:10. > :03:15.down into the harbour. Can we assist you at

:03:16. > :03:19.all with some lighting? Last night emergency crews

:03:20. > :03:21.were checking on Chris. He rents out this

:03:22. > :03:23.seafront holiday cottage. He couldn't believe how

:03:24. > :03:28.quickly it flooded. 5'6" I'd say with a guess.

:03:29. > :03:34.So it filled right up. Looking on the bright side,

:03:35. > :03:38.but having to deal with the mess. You don't have to look long

:03:39. > :03:41.on television to see And, as I say, no one is hurt,

:03:42. > :03:48.so it doesn't really matter. Holiday-makers arriving

:03:49. > :03:50.at their summer destination We never saw this before,

:03:51. > :03:58.so it's really exciting. Around 50 properties have been

:03:59. > :04:00.affected, but amazingly, Coverack may not feel lucky this

:04:01. > :04:09.morning, but there's a sense here that it could have been

:04:10. > :04:27.much, much worse. Showing us so much damage done

:04:28. > :04:33.there. Morning. Hi Louise. It is hard to take in and hard to take in

:04:34. > :04:38.how quickly it happened as well. This stream, normally a stream, yu

:04:39. > :04:43.yesterday afternoon it turned into a river, a tower of water coming down

:04:44. > :04:49.from the hills bringing boulders and rubbish with it. This barrier, solid

:04:50. > :04:52.metal, normally there to stop people falling into the stream, flattened

:04:53. > :04:55.by the force of the water. The water was carrying all sorts of rubbish

:04:56. > :04:59.that's been brought over here. We showed you an hour ago just some of

:05:00. > :05:04.the stuff, garden panels, garden furniture, we've got a mobility

:05:05. > :05:09.scooter over there. And even look here, even a kitchen sink! When we

:05:10. > :05:14.showed you that on Breakfast an hour ago, we said we didn't know where it

:05:15. > :05:18.came from, well Mary was watching and she knows where it has come from

:05:19. > :05:24.because some of the stuff is yours. It came from my garden shed. The

:05:25. > :05:27.shed is down on the beach. The mobility scooter belongs to my

:05:28. > :05:31.87-year-old mother-in-law. Yeah, it's fine. How are you doing this

:05:32. > :05:35.morning? This must have been a really frightening time? It was

:05:36. > :05:38.extremely frightening. I have never known anything like it and it

:05:39. > :05:42.happened so quick. One minute we were OK and the next minute we had

:05:43. > :05:46.three-foot of water. But you have got to cope with it. Some of your

:05:47. > :05:51.neighbours had to be airlifted off by the coastguard. Talk me through

:05:52. > :05:54.the mayhem of that time yesterday? I didn't see it happening we were

:05:55. > :06:00.inside because of the helicopter, but I understand from my son that

:06:01. > :06:03.they were flooded out, the front windows blew out with the force of

:06:04. > :06:07.the water and they were upstairs shouting for help. So, that's when

:06:08. > :06:10.the helicopter came out. What strikes me this morning is there is

:06:11. > :06:14.a real sense here of right, let's clean up, let's open up, it's summer

:06:15. > :06:18.time, we need visitors and let's get back to normal as soon as we can.

:06:19. > :06:22.Let's get back to normal. Things can be replaced. Nobody was hurt. Nobody

:06:23. > :06:25.was injured and nobody was killed. That's the main thing. We are all

:06:26. > :06:29.fine. What are you going to help yourself to first? I don't know

:06:30. > :06:33.really. None of it. Do you want the sink? I can give you a hand? No,

:06:34. > :06:37.it's all right. The shed is on the beach. The shed is on the beach and

:06:38. > :06:41.the summer house. I'm sorry you had to find out through Breakfast.

:06:42. > :06:45.That's Mary coming down to assess her own damage and it's the damage

:06:46. > :06:48.to one of the roads the main road that comes in on the other side of

:06:49. > :06:53.the village which is causing most concern. A lot has been washed away,

:06:54. > :06:55.damaged by the rubble and some of the services under the pipes, that

:06:56. > :07:00.kind of thing, damaged too. That's going to take a while to be sorted

:07:01. > :07:03.out, but people here say they will be re-open within hours. Within days

:07:04. > :07:07.at the most and Coverack will recover.

:07:08. > :07:11.St strikes me Jon you better go and help Mary. Thank you very much.

:07:12. > :07:17.What a wonderful attitude from Mary. He's off! He's off with that kitchen

:07:18. > :07:22.sink. It is not just Cornwall that's been hit by this sort of weather.

:07:23. > :07:28.Matt is here with talking about what we saw in Jon's report there. It is

:07:29. > :07:32.not just Cornwall. In Italy they had a particularly immense storm. It is

:07:33. > :07:36.a back building storm. It looks like it is moving away, but the back end

:07:37. > :07:39.keeps reforming and the ground is so dry at the moment and you're seeing

:07:40. > :07:44.close to a month's worth of rainfall. We have not got official

:07:45. > :07:48.totals, but it is understandable you saw flooding. Across southern parts

:07:49. > :07:51.of England and South Wales and the English Channel we saw 100,000

:07:52. > :07:56.flashes of lightening. Some spectacular shots coming in to BBC

:07:57. > :08:00.Weather Watchers. We saw large hail and gusty winds. There have been

:08:01. > :08:05.reports of minor flooding across other parts of southern England and

:08:06. > :08:08.treeses felled. Conditions have eased a little bit, but we're not

:08:09. > :08:12.done with the story just yet. There could be further storms later. What

:08:13. > :08:16.a dramatic picture over London. They are extraordinary pictures. Rather

:08:17. > :08:19.beautiful of the lightening. Very difficult to capture so they have

:08:20. > :08:23.done a good job, there were plenty of light I think strikes around

:08:24. > :08:28.through the night Thank you very much. See you in a few minutes with

:08:29. > :08:32.the weather. Matt will have the weather at 8.15am.

:08:33. > :08:35.The BBC will publish details of how much it pays its on-air

:08:36. > :08:37.talent later this morning in its annual report.

:08:38. > :08:40.For the first time, the salaries of those who earn more than ?150,000

:08:41. > :08:44.Only a third of the names on the list are women,

:08:45. > :08:47.and the Director-General, Lord Hall, says the BBC has to go

:08:48. > :08:53.Our arts correspondent David Sillito reports.

:08:54. > :08:58.They're part of everyday life for millions, but, until today,

:08:59. > :09:01.the BBC's stars were allowed to keep their pay deals private.

:09:02. > :09:05.The Government wants greater openness and so today the BBC

:09:06. > :09:09.will publish the details of 96 of its highest-paid stars.

:09:10. > :09:11.The BBC is in the unique position of being funded

:09:12. > :09:15.I think it's reasonable the license fee payer understands where that

:09:16. > :09:17.money is spent and particularly on significant and high salaries.

:09:18. > :09:20.When someone at the Corporation earns more than the Prime Minister,

:09:21. > :09:23.I think it's reasonable we understand what they do.

:09:24. > :09:30.The Corporation tried to resist the move, saying staff pay has been

:09:31. > :09:33.falling over the last few years, despite increasing competition

:09:34. > :09:38.We're in a very competitive market, not just with ITN and Sky,

:09:39. > :09:40.but now with Netflix, with Amazon, with all sorts

:09:41. > :09:43.of West Coast companies and what we've managed to do

:09:44. > :09:46.is to always pay our talent at a discount to the market.

:09:47. > :09:52.People come here because they want to come and work here and over

:09:53. > :09:54.the last year we've reduced the amount we are paying

:09:55. > :10:01.And some think it could even drive pay up as it gives rivals

:10:02. > :10:07.I think it's completely wrong. I think it will end in tears.

:10:08. > :10:09.I think it's inflationary and it's an invasion of individual privacy.

:10:10. > :10:13.So, on all counts, I think this is one of the worst impositions

:10:14. > :10:22.The report will also reveal wider issues about pay.

:10:23. > :10:24.The BBC has already admitted that on the list of highest-paid stars

:10:25. > :10:38.Businesses will be banned from charging fees on debit

:10:39. > :10:41.and credit card transactions from January next year.

:10:42. > :10:43.It follows an EU directive to ban the charges typically

:10:44. > :10:44.imposed by airlines, food delivery apps

:10:45. > :10:50.The Treasury says the fees cost consumers ?473

:10:51. > :11:05.As prices got driven down when the budget airlines came in 10 or 20

:11:06. > :11:09.years ago they started to look for other way to say get a little bit of

:11:10. > :11:16.extra cash around the back end and they came up with this ruse why

:11:17. > :11:21.don't we start getting people to pay by card. You don't get charged for

:11:22. > :11:30.having the lights on in the office, why do you have to pay by card?

:11:31. > :11:36.Christine and Joe saying when they renew car tax they have to pay for

:11:37. > :11:40.using their debit card or credit card. Thank you for pointing that

:11:41. > :11:41.out and keep the comments coming in and the other stories around this

:11:42. > :11:43.morning. An American boy, who was

:11:44. > :11:46.the youngest in the world to have a double hand transplant,

:11:47. > :11:49.is now able to write, dress himself Zion Harvey had the operation two

:11:50. > :12:04.years ago when he was There was setbacks his body rejected

:12:05. > :12:10.the new hands, but they overcame that with medication and the doctors

:12:11. > :12:13.say the key for Zioh has been his determination and attitude to

:12:14. > :12:16.succeed. We have tweeted a little film about him as well. He's

:12:17. > :12:21.brilliant. He is a real star, isn't he?

:12:22. > :12:25.The weather is coming your way in a few minutes from Matt.

:14:21. > :14:23.We're joined by teacher Ian Darlington who we just saw

:14:24. > :14:24.there, and Hannah Archer whose daughter was involved

:14:25. > :14:38.Hannah let's talk to you first. You got a text, didn't you, what was it

:14:39. > :14:43.saying and how did you react? Just that the school was on lockdown and

:14:44. > :14:47.no one would be coming in or out of the gates. There was nothing on the

:14:48. > :14:52.news. Were you worried? I was really worried. I had not seen the news. So

:14:53. > :14:56.I didn't know what was going on. I didn't know what a lockdown meant

:14:57. > :15:01.until I had phoned her dad to see if he got the same text and he said I

:15:02. > :15:04.will look at the news. This MP, something happened to her and there

:15:05. > :15:08.is a man and they have not caught him yet. That was it. And that was

:15:09. > :15:14.the murder of Jo Cox, wasn't it? Yeah. How did your daughter feel

:15:15. > :15:18.about it? Well, she was only five. She didn't say anything to me when

:15:19. > :15:24.she came home and she said they weren't allowed to play out at the

:15:25. > :15:27.play time. But she has had not mentioned anything. There was no

:15:28. > :15:33.drills of lockdown or anything. So... It is interesting Ian watching

:15:34. > :15:38.the reaction of the children. You're doing this as rehearsals, aren't

:15:39. > :15:44.you? Yes. Are they scared by it? What's their reaction?

:15:45. > :15:53.They treat it like a fire drill. We have two practices a year. To start

:15:54. > :15:56.with, they were fantastic, because we have had lessons to explain to

:15:57. > :16:02.the children what we are going to do and explain why we need to do it.

:16:03. > :16:05.Gone down the line of keeping them safe because at the end of the day,

:16:06. > :16:13.school is supposed to be a safe place. When we did the practices,

:16:14. > :16:18.they were fantastic. We can see one of the practices you were involved

:16:19. > :16:24.in on the screens. Lots of people getting in touch. Someone says, if

:16:25. > :16:30.there is a risk, it is negligent not to practice. Someone else says, this

:16:31. > :16:33.is over the top. Sean says, my school has been doing this for a

:16:34. > :16:39.number of years and it is sad to say it is a sign of the times. Mixed

:16:40. > :16:48.reaction as you would expect. What sort of government support you get?

:16:49. > :16:58.From the government, our school have used government lockdown procedures.

:16:59. > :17:03.If one goes into lockdown, the other in a same area has two as well. From

:17:04. > :17:09.my point of view, I find it is a good thing because for me, I want to

:17:10. > :17:13.keep those children as safe as I can and it has given me extra confidence

:17:14. > :17:21.to know what to do if anything should happen. I suppose you might

:17:22. > :17:28.not panic as much, if you know what to do. It is helpful? Yes. Would it

:17:29. > :17:34.have helped you if you had known what lockdown was? Yes. My daughter

:17:35. > :17:41.has moved school now but they are not doing any training or any of

:17:42. > :17:48.this. I think it would help. When I got the text message, if I had

:17:49. > :17:53.known, if they had done a practice I would have known she would have been

:17:54. > :17:58.safe but I didn't. Do you communicate everything back to

:17:59. > :18:02.parents? Yes, before we did our first practice, we sent a letter

:18:03. > :18:07.explaining what we were doing. We said what we would be explaining to

:18:08. > :18:13.the children before we did it. If ever there was a real lockdown

:18:14. > :18:19.practice, we would keep the parents updated by text. We also post on our

:18:20. > :18:23.school website, updates, so the parents are kept involved. Do

:18:24. > :18:29.children know it will be a rehearsal day? They do, we tell them in the

:18:30. > :18:34.morning. Just so they don't panic and they know what to do. They do it

:18:35. > :18:40.without any fuss. Any reason why you started doing it? We thought it

:18:41. > :18:44.would be a sensible idea. It might not be an external intruder, it

:18:45. > :18:48.might be a dangerous dog on the grounds we have to keep the children

:18:49. > :18:54.safe from. It's just sensible as much as anything. Keep your comments

:18:55. > :18:58.coming in on that. We have had plenty already on that discussion

:18:59. > :19:03.about lockdowns in school. Some of those pictures that you took

:19:04. > :19:11.the lightning strikes, a feat in itself.

:19:12. > :19:19.A torrid night after the storms. Flooding through the night and we

:19:20. > :19:24.saw close to half a month's worth of rainfall in some spots. Things have

:19:25. > :19:25.turned generally quieter now, do not drop your guard because they could

:19:26. > :19:38.be further thunderstorms later. The past few hours, it has been

:19:39. > :19:45.mainly towards the south of the country. The storms have been easing

:19:46. > :19:48.away. We do have some drifting up through the Irish sea and in the

:19:49. > :19:54.Northern Ireland. Things could turn wetter over the next few hours.

:19:55. > :19:59.Could be a rumble of thunder. Isolated showers, northern England,

:20:00. > :20:03.north Wales. Don't treat the blue colour in the charts to literally

:20:04. > :20:08.because they are sporadic. Some heavy bursts of rain on and off for

:20:09. > :20:12.the rest of the day and things will get hot and humid as sunshine breaks

:20:13. > :20:19.through the cloud. Eastern parts of England could get close to 31, 30

:20:20. > :20:29.two Celsius. A little bit cooler to the south and west. This afternoon,

:20:30. > :20:34.parts of north Wales, the Midlands, we could see those torrential

:20:35. > :20:37.downpours, gusty winds as well. Risks of minor flooding. It would be

:20:38. > :20:42.some further heavy bursts of rain in Northern Ireland. Only a few showers

:20:43. > :20:48.in Scotland, lovely, sunny day in the Highlands. Scotland does turn

:20:49. > :20:52.wetter tonight. Rumbles of thunder can't be ruled out. Turns quieter

:20:53. > :20:59.for England and Wales, some patchy rain and drizzle around, lots of

:21:00. > :21:04.cloud and a humid night. Cast your eyes to the west, clear skies and

:21:05. > :21:11.fresh air is on its way. Things turning fresh tomorrow. Morning

:21:12. > :21:17.cloud clearing away. Fresher but brighter a taking hold. Cloudy in

:21:18. > :21:22.Scotland with outbreaks of rain. A cool datacom here. Temperatures

:21:23. > :21:27.across the board down over the past couple of days. Some wet and windy

:21:28. > :21:29.weather will sweep across the country from Friday. Sunshine and

:21:30. > :21:37.showers. Blustery conditions may prove

:21:38. > :21:46.challenging for some of the golfers. The Tyrannosaurus Rex has acquired

:21:47. > :22:32.a reputation as a fearsome predator Clearly, in the film, a very fast

:22:33. > :22:39.predator, very terrifying. But scientists think that the dinosaur

:22:40. > :22:44.was not in fact a sprinter. Only capable of running 12 mph.

:22:45. > :22:47.We can talk now to Professor William Sellers from the University of

:22:48. > :23:00.Loving the jumper. You have a triceratops on the front and a T-Rex

:23:01. > :23:09.on the back. We all assumed T-Rex were fast. We

:23:10. > :23:12.digitised every single bone in the T-Rex body and we put it into a

:23:13. > :23:16.computer and then you can put the muscles on the bone is based on what

:23:17. > :23:21.you have done by dissecting crocodiles and birds and things. You

:23:22. > :23:24.give the whole thing to a robots simulating system and it uses

:23:25. > :23:31.artificial intelligence machine learning to make the animal go as

:23:32. > :23:34.fast as it can. The thing is, if you do that, you can get quite a fast

:23:35. > :23:42.T-Rex running along about 80 miles an hour. But then we spotted that if

:23:43. > :23:47.you do that, the force on the hind limbs is just too big. The legs

:23:48. > :23:50.would have broken at that speed. So we had to slow the assimilation down

:23:51. > :23:58.to a walk and that's the only way you can make it plausible. Still

:23:59. > :24:04.scary. It walks about 12 mph because it has huge legs and it still has

:24:05. > :24:13.big tease. Still scary but not fast. How does this change thoughts that

:24:14. > :24:18.have been around for a while. Palaeontologists love to disagree

:24:19. > :24:22.with each other. One thought T-Rex of the superfast 45 miles an hour

:24:23. > :24:29.predator. Another school of thought didn't think it was as fast. And

:24:30. > :24:33.what it did was go fairly slowly and scavenge or perhaps it was an ambush

:24:34. > :24:39.hunter. What our work has shown is that there was no way it was ever

:24:40. > :24:48.catching up with the Jurassic Park animal. Are you disappointed? A

:24:49. > :24:53.little bit! I went into this thinking I would be able to show

:24:54. > :25:00.that it was quite a fast animal. It is what you want, it is the super

:25:01. > :25:03.predator, the alien of the Jurassic, Cretaceous period. But if you think

:25:04. > :25:08.about it, as animals get really large, they do slow down and of

:25:09. > :25:13.course, it is nice when science is all matches up and you get the

:25:14. > :25:18.answer you should expect. Would it still... Can we still call it the

:25:19. > :25:23.king of the dinosaurs? But rather than chasing its prey, it would have

:25:24. > :25:28.ambushed its prey rather than chasing around the forest?

:25:29. > :25:32.Absolutely, it will still the biggest of the predatory dinosaurs

:25:33. > :25:38.so still scary. It laid eggs about the size of a football, so you have

:25:39. > :25:43.football sized dinosaurs growing up in the space of about 20 years into

:25:44. > :25:47.a T-Rex. Imagine an angry adolescent T-Rex that is still fast moving, I

:25:48. > :25:55.think there is still plenty to be scared of. I think you are quite

:25:56. > :26:01.right. There was some talk about feathers. Do we know whether they

:26:02. > :26:08.had feathers? Animals with feathers also had scales. These things are

:26:09. > :26:16.not exclusive. It almost certainly had both. We have got evidence, not

:26:17. > :26:21.of T-Rex, but other tyrannosaurs, closely related dinosaurs, with

:26:22. > :26:24.feathers on them. But they may have just had crests or parts of the

:26:25. > :26:31.body. The Mohican dinosaur could well be real thing. Have you had

:26:32. > :26:36.other experts shouting at you for this? Saying, you have ruined what

:26:37. > :26:41.we thought about the T-Rex! Not yet, I am waiting for it! Possibly, it

:26:42. > :26:45.takes some time. The next conference I go to I suspect there will be

:26:46. > :26:50.experts standing up and saying, I disagree. You need to wear that

:26:51. > :26:57.jumper to your next conference. My mum makes them for me! Have you got

:26:58. > :27:02.a lot of dinosaur jumpers? I've only got three dinosaurs but a range of

:27:03. > :27:09.other ones. Thank you for coming in. Can we get a shot of you?

:27:10. > :30:28.Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

:30:29. > :30:30.Now though, it's back to Dan and Louise.

:30:31. > :30:42.Hello, this is Breakfast with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

:30:43. > :30:45.It is exactly 8:30am on Wednesday morning.

:30:46. > :30:48.A big clean-up operation is taking place in Cornwall after flash floods

:30:49. > :30:50.swept through the village of Coverack on the

:30:51. > :30:52.Lizard Peninsula. Residents reported hailstones

:30:53. > :30:56.the size of 50p pieces, and the village was divided in two

:30:57. > :31:02.Later today, engineers will assess damage to roads

:31:03. > :31:20.It's hard to take in and how to take in how quickly it happened. This is

:31:21. > :31:24.normally a stream, but yesterday afternoon it turned into a river,

:31:25. > :31:31.for the teeth, a tower of water coming down from the hills -- four

:31:32. > :31:36.feet deep. This barrier, solid metal, normally there to stop people

:31:37. > :31:39.falling into the stream, flattened by the force of the water, the water

:31:40. > :31:45.was carrying all sorts of rubbish that has been brought over here. We

:31:46. > :31:50.showed you some of the staff, garden panels and furniture. We have a

:31:51. > :31:55.mobility scooter, and even look here... Even a kitchen sink! When we

:31:56. > :31:58.showed you that an Breakfast one hour ago and we said we didn't know

:31:59. > :32:03.where it had come from. Mary was watching and she knows where it came

:32:04. > :32:07.from because some of the stuff is yours. It came from my garden shed,

:32:08. > :32:12.unfortunately. The shed is down on the beach, a mobility scooter

:32:13. > :32:16.belongs to my 87-year-old mother-in-law. Yes, it's my. How are

:32:17. > :32:21.you doing this morning? This must have been a very frightening time.

:32:22. > :32:25.Extremely frightening, I've never known anything like it, it happened

:32:26. > :32:29.so quickly. One minute we're OK, and the next minute we have three foot

:32:30. > :32:33.of water. But where coping with it, we've got to cope. Some of your

:32:34. > :32:36.neighbours had to be airlifted by the coastguard. Talk me through the

:32:37. > :32:40.mayhem of that time yesterday? I didn't see it happen because we were

:32:41. > :32:44.shepherded inside because of the helicopter. I understand from my sun

:32:45. > :32:48.that they were flooded out, the front windows blew out with the

:32:49. > :32:53.force of the water. And they were upstairs shouting for help. That's

:32:54. > :32:57.when the helicopter came out. What strikes me this morning is there is

:32:58. > :33:01.a real sense here of, right, let's clean up and open up, it's

:33:02. > :33:05.summertime, we need visitors, that's get back to normal as soon is we

:33:06. > :33:10.can. Exactly, things can be replaced, nobody was hurt, injured

:33:11. > :33:14.or killed, that's the main thing. We're all fine. What are you going

:33:15. > :33:21.to help yourself to first? What Julie want back? I don't know,

:33:22. > :33:28.really, none of it. Do you want to think back?! I'm sorry you had to

:33:29. > :33:32.find out through Breakfast. It is the damage to one of the roads, the

:33:33. > :33:36.main roads, that comes in on the other side of the village, that is

:33:37. > :33:40.causing most concern. A lot of that has been washed away, damaged by the

:33:41. > :33:46.rubble and some of the services and the pipes, that kind of thing, has

:33:47. > :33:49.been damaged too. People say it will be reopened within hours, days at

:33:50. > :33:59.the most, and cover Iraq will recover. -- cover -- Coverack will

:34:00. > :34:00.recover. The BBC will publish details of how

:38:00. > :38:01.England and Scotland's famous old rivalry is set

:38:02. > :38:04.for another showdown tonight - this time in the Group Stage of

:38:05. > :38:05.of the Women's Euro 2017 Championship.

:38:06. > :38:10.on their third-place finish in the 2015 World Cup.

:38:11. > :38:12.Meanwhile, Scotland are playing in their first major tournament,

:38:13. > :38:18.Their Head Coach says it will be her proudest moment

:38:19. > :38:20.in football when they walk out onto the pitch.

:38:21. > :38:28.The biggest thing is to try to enjoy it.

:38:29. > :38:35.Try to embrace the experience, and that's been a message

:38:36. > :38:41.the whole journey now, from when we qualified.

:38:42. > :38:44.All the preparations, it has been really about, you know,

:38:45. > :38:48.Physical work, so much work off the pitch and becoming

:38:49. > :38:52.This is probably the most prepared we've felt going into a tournament,

:38:53. > :38:57.so there's a lot of belief and determination around the squad.

:38:58. > :39:04.The Open golf gets underway at Royal Birkdale tomorrow morning -

:39:05. > :39:06.it's the tenth time the world's oldest Major has been held there.

:39:07. > :39:09.One of the most memorable was back in 1998, when a 17-year-old

:39:10. > :39:12.Justin Rose chipped in at the 18th to win the amateur prize

:39:13. > :39:15.That set him on his way to a successful career.

:39:16. > :39:19.He now has a US Open title and Olympic gold to his name -

:39:20. > :39:21.but he'd still love to win at Birkdale.

:39:22. > :39:28.It's the one tournament I've dreamt about since I was a young boy.

:39:29. > :39:31.I think, especially as Royal Birkdale, you know...

:39:32. > :39:33.You take an Open Championship anywhere, you take a Major challenge

:39:34. > :39:37.anywhere, but if they happen to line up at special venues -

:39:38. > :39:40.I was fortunate to win at Marion, because that club has something

:39:41. > :39:42.special about it, and obviously to do it

:39:43. > :39:47.a kind of full circle moment, based on I guess what I did in 1998.

:39:48. > :39:56.So, yeah, a special venue and lots of good memories.

:39:57. > :39:58.Great Britain go into day six of the World

:39:59. > :40:00.Para-athletics Championships in third place in the medals

:40:01. > :40:03.Among the many outstanding performances so far by British

:40:04. > :40:07.She won gold on Monday in the T44 100m sprint

:40:08. > :40:09.after breaking her own world record during the heats.

:40:10. > :40:13.She joins us now from the London Stadium.

:40:14. > :40:24.Morning, Sophie. Good morning. Congratulations Oh! You must be

:40:25. > :40:32.delighted to have finally achieved that medal. Yes, I'm so, so happy.

:40:33. > :40:37.It's been quite a long five years from me in terms of when I first

:40:38. > :40:41.started athletics. Now to finally becoming world champion is

:40:42. > :40:44.absolutely incredible. Sophie, just remind everybody what happened to

:40:45. > :40:48.you back in Rio? I'm sure lots of people will remember your story. You

:40:49. > :40:55.broke the record in the heats, and then what happened? Yes, so

:40:56. > :40:58.obviously I was really so happy to break a world record. I didn't think

:40:59. > :41:02.that would happen. It had been a world record for ten years, I was

:41:03. > :41:06.ecstatic to be able to break that. Then I went back to the village to

:41:07. > :41:12.have a rest and eat some food before the final. I was pretty excited. And

:41:13. > :41:16.I watched the last leg. And on it, Clare Balding mentioned me, which

:41:17. > :41:20.obviously made me very, very excited. And she also said that it

:41:21. > :41:24.meant that I could probably, definitely get a gold in the final,

:41:25. > :41:30.which really weirded me out. And then in the final I kind of... About

:41:31. > :41:33.70 metres in the I was ahead of everyone, and that didn't really

:41:34. > :41:40.happened before. That also freaked me out a bit. A lot of things went

:41:41. > :41:44.through my head. Where is everyone? Am I the only one running? Am I

:41:45. > :41:49.going to get a gold medal? Am I going to come last? That tightened

:41:50. > :41:53.up my running style. Three people ran past me. I ended up coming

:41:54. > :41:58.forth. Not a great result. But you didn't make that same mistake again,

:41:59. > :42:01.did you? You played a blinder on Monday. Am I right in hearing that

:42:02. > :42:10.you actually run the final with a stitch? Well, I finished it and then

:42:11. > :42:15.I suddenly got a stitch. I was all right during the race. I was fine

:42:16. > :42:20.during the race. I was a bit tired, but apart from that, it was great.

:42:21. > :42:28.Sophie, congratulations. It is lovely to talk to you. Well done,

:42:29. > :42:32.very well-deserved. I love the flowers in your hair as well, they

:42:33. > :42:37.look gorgeous! Sophie, remind everybody about why you where the

:42:38. > :42:41.flower? In 2012I just happened to have some hair accessories in my

:42:42. > :42:46.wash bag and I decided to wear, I think I wore ripped twice. I can't

:42:47. > :42:49.remember if it was in the 100 or the 200, it was such a long time ago.

:42:50. > :42:56.Commentators mentioned it and people pointed it out, they said that I

:42:57. > :42:59.liked it. I was like, can't let everyone down now! Hybrid much wore

:43:00. > :43:02.one at every major Championship since. I love it! -- I pretty much

:43:03. > :43:04.wore one. All this summer here on Breakfast

:43:05. > :43:07.we will be talking to some of the Uk's most inspirational

:43:08. > :43:11.Businesswomen. This morning, Sean is finding out

:43:12. > :43:21.how you start a multi-million-pound I'm interested! Sean, who have you

:43:22. > :43:28.got with you? Pen and paper at the ready, this is how you do it!

:43:29. > :43:30.We're finding out what makes some of the UK's most

:43:31. > :43:33.This morning we're speaking to Sophie Cornish, co-founder

:43:34. > :43:35.of the online retailer Not On The High Street.

:43:36. > :43:38.Let's find out a bit more about the business first.

:43:39. > :43:40.Sophie and her business partner Holly started the business

:43:41. > :43:41.from their kitchen table back in 2006.

:43:42. > :43:45.The site allows people to sell the craft products they've made,

:43:46. > :43:51.In return, the sellers pay the website a 25% commission.

:43:52. > :44:02.Back in its first year of the business, sales were ?134,000.

:44:03. > :44:05.Not too bad for your first year of business!

:44:06. > :44:08.Since then they've seen huge growth over the last decade,

:44:09. > :44:11.pushing sales up to to over ?150 million last year.

:44:12. > :44:14.How do you get to that level? Let's find out.

:44:15. > :44:23.The kitchen table thing, you hear about it a lot, but also adding a

:44:24. > :44:27.business on a kitchen table. The days before you got to the kitchen

:44:28. > :44:32.table, what were you looking for is a job, as a career? Yes, I had been

:44:33. > :44:35.working in a relatively corporate environment, in advertising. I'd

:44:36. > :44:39.certainly learnt that the daily commute and getting out of the house

:44:40. > :44:43.with two small children wasn't working for me. I didn't expect

:44:44. > :44:45.starting a business to be the easy option. But I certainly felt it

:44:46. > :44:52.would be something that would give me an opportunity to shape my own

:44:53. > :44:54.kind of working life. What me and my business partner, Holly Tucker,

:44:55. > :44:57.Wesselingh around us was an environment which happened to be a

:44:58. > :45:05.sort of perfect storm for what we did on the High Street, which was

:45:06. > :45:09.that customers had a growing interest on different kinds of

:45:10. > :45:14.products. They were tired of mass production, farmers markets were

:45:15. > :45:17.growing up everywhere. And they were looking for something more unique,

:45:18. > :45:22.more blasting, made with Heritage skills. At the same time, small

:45:23. > :45:26.businesses around us making those products were struggling to get into

:45:27. > :45:30.market, even though they were fantastic they were struggling to

:45:31. > :45:33.get to market. And the internet was flourishing as well. You have got

:45:34. > :45:37.all of that. People often sit in the pub and have an idea and think, hang

:45:38. > :45:41.on, you could make money out of that. What was it that made you

:45:42. > :45:45.think, we have to go for this and we're going to commit?

:45:46. > :45:53.It was a physical feeling. It felt compelling, that the appetite on

:45:54. > :46:00.both sides for a solution, from the customers and our small business

:46:01. > :46:06.partners, we empathised with them, we have done some research and we

:46:07. > :46:10.found in the ten year since we started, female self employment has

:46:11. > :46:13.grown by 50%, so we kind of felt we were on to something, there was a

:46:14. > :46:18.movement growing and that is how people wanted to work. 90% of our

:46:19. > :46:23.partners are women. That was our audience. Generally the British

:46:24. > :46:30.workplace is still not suitable for the life a lot of women want to

:46:31. > :46:34.lead? Yes, women, parents, a lot of people want to work differently, I

:46:35. > :46:44.think the nine-to-five lifestyle is, it kind of belongs in ways to the

:46:45. > :46:46.past, we have got new platforms like Not On The High Street,

:46:47. > :46:50.technologies, crowdfunding, obviously you don't need to be a

:46:51. > :46:56.certain place in a certain time to be successful, partners with the

:46:57. > :47:01.fact we know, 60% of our partners are working parents, and they really

:47:02. > :47:05.need a different way to work. So you talk about going, a lot people

:47:06. > :47:09.wanting to follow a similar path to what you did. When I was looking at

:47:10. > :47:13.your partner Holly, she said you were trying to raise money and you

:47:14. > :47:17.were pitching to what she called a lot of grey haired men in the

:47:18. > :47:21.Venture Capital industry who didn't get what you were on about, what was

:47:22. > :47:25.that like? We met with some challenges when we were fundraising

:47:26. > :47:32.for sure, we had a good business plan. We had some proven results so

:47:33. > :47:34.in theory we were going out with a good proposition, and certainly

:47:35. > :47:38.eventually the venture capital partners we worked with have been

:47:39. > :47:43.amazing and stuck with us all the way through, they have been great.

:47:44. > :47:47.We kissed a lot of frogs beforehand for sure around there was a strong

:47:48. > :47:52.element of being dismissed as we walked through the door as two

:47:53. > :47:55.slightly fluffy ladies with lots of shopping things, and you know, go

:47:56. > :48:01.away, friends and family only I think dears kind of response. You

:48:02. > :48:08.hear that a bit any way. We did. But you know, it, you best veer, you

:48:09. > :48:11.think big and best veerle As grow the business, smaller businesses are

:48:12. > :48:15.coming onboard. The way you make money from them, is 25% commission.

:48:16. > :48:20.That is right. You are giving them a platform they wouldn't have

:48:21. > :48:23.otherwise but 25% when you say that to a business, it seems like a lot,

:48:24. > :48:29.do you think it is is a lot? We find it is a ally really strong

:48:30. > :48:34.commercial arrangement, so for that 25% all of their marketing risk is

:48:35. > :48:38.taken away, so everybody knows that online marketing is specialised and

:48:39. > :48:40.ribs scoi they only pay that if they make a sale, only if we have

:48:41. > :48:47.succeeded do they pay that commission, then they get a lot of

:48:48. > :48:51.business support, and other digital online resources that help them to

:48:52. > :48:56.grow, we have gone from 100 partners to 5 thousand. We have 20 partners

:48:57. > :48:59.who are making a million pounds a year each with us, of which 17 are

:49:00. > :49:03.women, so it feels like that is working.

:49:04. > :49:08.Just before we go, this, the economy we are in at the moment, you have

:49:09. > :49:13.lots of employees, who will have mortgages to pay, lots of small

:49:14. > :49:17.businesses who are trying to make money out of your platform, how does

:49:18. > :49:22.it feel running a business like this compared to the small business you

:49:23. > :49:28.had ideas of ten years ago? It is a very different thing we have a, we

:49:29. > :49:36.have appointed a chief executive, who is leading the business into the

:49:37. > :49:40.next phase. You think about it differently, but there are no fewer

:49:41. > :49:46.or less challenges, and I think yes, the retail market is tough but that

:49:47. > :49:50.makes you, it incentivised us to raise our game and make sure sellers

:49:51. > :49:54.are delivering the kind of products the customer wants so I think it

:49:55. > :49:58.makes you raise your game. That is what you have to do. Thank you very

:49:59. > :50:04.much for that. Really interesting. Look forward to

:50:05. > :50:08.your kitchen table, Dan, business. There is so much good advice there,

:50:09. > :50:11.Sophie, really interesting to hear from you. Thank you. Thank you for

:50:12. > :50:12.coming in and telling us about it. Thank you for coming

:50:13. > :50:15.in and telling us about it. It's one of the biggest British

:50:16. > :50:17.gardening events of the year, and the Tatton Flower Show attracts

:50:18. > :50:20.hundreds of exhibitors to the estate in Cheshire.

:50:21. > :50:22.As well as displays from the more experienced greenfingers,

:50:23. > :50:24.the show also gives up-and-coming young designers the chance

:50:25. > :50:27.to show off their skills. Holly is having a look around

:50:28. > :50:47.the beautiful 1,000-acre park I am not sure where she is S there

:50:48. > :50:51.you are, morning. Morning, I am making myself comfortable among the

:50:52. > :50:56.flowers and the bees. It is absolutely beautiful. Now, these

:50:57. > :51:00.days garden showers aren't just about who has the prettiest flower,

:51:01. > :51:06.those days are gone, now it is not just about what you do to help your

:51:07. > :51:11.open spaces but how open spaces can inspire you and help you. We have a

:51:12. > :51:15.dementia garden, that has been inspired by somebody living with

:51:16. > :51:20.dementia, it is full of flowers from the 60s and 70s. Excuse me, I have

:51:21. > :51:25.to watch where I am going. This is based on living in a rural area. We

:51:26. > :51:31.don't have the space we used to. We are living in smaller apartment,

:51:32. > :51:34.roof terrace, so this is inspired by people living in areas and how we

:51:35. > :51:39.can make the most of the area, as you can see, this sometimes means

:51:40. > :51:42.doing that over two areas and in some cases that means three areas,

:51:43. > :51:47.and it really does make the best space, and it is just a perfect

:51:48. > :51:52.example of what you can do in such a limited amount of space. We are

:51:53. > :51:55.joined this morning by the director of the Royal Horticultural Society

:51:56. > :52:01.Sue Biggs. Making yourself comfortable here. Yes you will

:52:02. > :52:07.notice the cork is in. A bit early for you? Even for me. This This idea

:52:08. > :52:10.of having a garden and roof terrace, small spaces, urban areas, that is

:52:11. > :52:14.something people are inspired by, you can see that across the park.

:52:15. > :52:20.This garden here is beautiful around demonstrates more and more of us are

:52:21. > :52:24.living in apantments and flats where we don have the size of gardens

:52:25. > :52:28.there used to be this is on three storeys, you can grow so many plants

:52:29. > :52:33.and be surrounded by nature, it is wonderful. Also this idea about

:52:34. > :52:36.gardens and outdoor space, we are trying to inspire young people to

:52:37. > :52:40.get more involved and it is something they have focussed on

:52:41. > :52:43.here. Tatton Park flower show is about young people in design in

:52:44. > :52:48.particular, so you will see lots of young designer of the year is here,

:52:49. > :52:51.young planting designer, young landscaper and they have created

:52:52. > :52:56.some of the most beautiful gardens but they are helping support our

:52:57. > :52:59.green in Great Britain campaign which is everybody can do something

:53:00. > :53:05.to really green what is becoming more paved over, you will see the

:53:06. > :53:09.bus boulevards, which are wonderful, you fill them all with all the

:53:10. > :53:14.plants grown by our nurseries that are here. So lots for everyone to

:53:15. > :53:16.see. You mentioned the local communities, that is something you

:53:17. > :53:20.can take from this, the communities have come together to create some

:53:21. > :53:25.beautiful spaces. It is wonderful here. Being a northerner I know they

:53:26. > :53:29.love getting involved in if things so it is great the local communities

:53:30. > :53:32.get together and it is great here that the communities do the

:53:33. > :53:36.back-to-back gardens which are smaller gardens that people can take

:53:37. > :53:41.an idea home for their own garden, which ever part of the show you look

:53:42. > :53:45.at it helps all of us to get more back to plants, to nature and enjoy

:53:46. > :53:50.outdoor in our gardens however big or small it is. That is something

:53:51. > :53:54.that has inspired people, the idea you don't need to have rolling

:53:55. > :53:59.landscapes and you don't need to know a lot about gardening.

:54:00. > :54:02.Absolutely not. Even who has planned a seed or plant is a gardener and

:54:03. > :54:07.that is what all of us need to remember. I think people sometimes

:54:08. > :54:10.think you need to be experts to be called a gardener but you don't. It

:54:11. > :54:15.has been lovely chatting to you, we are going to stick round, what do

:54:16. > :54:19.yes reckon, should we bring some of this back to the studio? It would be

:54:20. > :54:26.lovely. Do you want to bring the bottle? I thought you might be

:54:27. > :54:30.eyeing that one up. I really meant the flower.

:54:31. > :54:36.Here's Matt with a look at this morning's weather.

:54:37. > :54:48.Matt has been telling us about the 100,000 lightning strikes in

:54:49. > :54:51.partings of the UK. Over 100,000 lightning strike, some saw a month's

:54:52. > :54:56.rain. There has been a bit of flooding. Only for a few, many are

:54:57. > :55:03.started the day dry, here is one of the spectacular shots from the night

:55:04. > :55:07.taken Essex, there is still some at the moment and there will be more

:55:08. > :55:11.developing later on as heat an humidity combine again. Be on guard,

:55:12. > :55:16.particularly in North Wales and north-west England this time. A risk

:55:17. > :55:22.of minor flooding. Hail to go with it. We started the early risers a

:55:23. > :55:25.good lightning display in the south. The ones in East Anglia and

:55:26. > :55:30.Lincolnshire quickly cleared. This one drifting through the Midland is

:55:31. > :55:34.easing a bit. We have seen some of the south of Wales. They will drift

:55:35. > :55:39.northward, through the rest of east Wales and we could see one or two in

:55:40. > :55:42.northern England. Most will be dry through this morning. Exception

:55:43. > :55:45.could be Northern Ireland. Some of that rain could be on the heavy and

:55:46. > :55:48.thundery side. But it is into the afternoon as the temperatures pick

:55:49. > :55:53.up, we will start to see that risk of storms increase again, and boy,

:55:54. > :55:59.will they pick up in eastern England. Into parts of east Angela,

:56:00. > :56:05.one or two could get to 30, to 32 Celsius. It will be cooler on

:56:06. > :56:11.western coasts, humid but with cloud round. The showers have nowhere near

:56:12. > :56:14.as veer as yesterday. North Wales, north midland and north-west England

:56:15. > :56:20.where the signal is for severe storms to develop to end the

:56:21. > :56:24.afternoon, and still some thunder and lightning in Northern Ireland,

:56:25. > :56:29.not too much in the way of rain storms in Scotland. North-west high

:56:30. > :56:34.land could get into the '20s, a bit of a breeze blowing. But as we go

:56:35. > :56:39.through tonight, the rain sets in across Scotland, some heavy bursts

:56:40. > :56:42.here, some rumbles of thunder. Lighter rain developing for England

:56:43. > :56:46.and Wales but clearer skies into the west. While it remain muggy in

:56:47. > :56:50.Scotland and England in the west of the UK it will be fresher brighter

:56:51. > :56:53.start to tomorrow. Lots of sunshine before showers push in to Northern

:56:54. > :56:56.Ireland. Cloudy with rain, could rule out the odd rumble of thunder

:56:57. > :57:00.and wet conditions throughout to the North East of Scotland, but when the

:57:01. > :57:03.sun comes out elsewhere, yes, it will be strong sunshine but

:57:04. > :57:08.temperatures much lower than they have been through the past few days

:57:09. > :57:12.instead of the low 30s generally low 20s at best. We continue that theme

:57:13. > :57:16.into Friday, strong and gusty winds round an area of low pressure. It

:57:17. > :57:18.will bring rain. So a big change from stormy weather with have today.

:57:19. > :57:26.. Thank you to have you. A daring underwater mission

:57:27. > :57:28.to recover some World War II "bouncing bombs" will take place

:57:29. > :57:31.on a Scottish loch in a few hours. The bombs were featured

:57:32. > :57:34.in the legendary war film Dambusters, and were tested

:57:35. > :57:35.in Western Scotland - where Catriona Renton

:57:36. > :57:46.is at Loch Striven It looks glorious. This is an

:57:47. > :57:51.ambitious thing to do. Good morning. Morning. Good morning here. You will

:57:52. > :57:56.see the boat out there, the navy support boat but the divers are due

:57:57. > :58:02.to head out in the next little while to start this really quite daring

:58:03. > :58:05.mission, this place was shrouded in secrecy, there were smoke screens

:58:06. > :58:11.put round it so the public didn't know that the bombs were being

:58:12. > :58:14.tested here, in 1943. A lot was said about the bombs used in the

:58:15. > :58:18.Dambuster raid. They caught the public imagination, less was known

:58:19. > :58:23.about the royal favour I have equill lent tested here, until now.

:58:24. > :58:25.The view over Loch Striven in Argyll, a beautiful part of country.

:58:26. > :58:28.But it also has an important place in British military history.

:58:29. > :58:30.And today, divers will attempt another daring mission here.

:58:31. > :58:32.Back in 1943, bouncing bombs were tested here.

:58:33. > :58:35.Codenamed Highball, this is one of the the types invented

:58:36. > :58:47.Another - Upkeep - was used in the Dambuster raids in Germany.

:58:48. > :58:49.Highball was designed to sink enemy ships.

:58:50. > :58:52.Sir Barnes Wallis had come up with an idea -

:58:53. > :58:55.a bomb that did not just explode where it landed, but would bounce

:58:56. > :58:57.over the surface of the water like a swimming stone,

:58:58. > :59:06.The particular focus was the German battleship, the Tirpitz.

:59:07. > :59:08.In the end, though, Highball bombs were never used,

:59:09. > :59:12.but they have lain on the bed of the loch for almost 70 years.

:59:13. > :59:19.So far, only divers have been able to see them up close.

:59:20. > :59:23.I feel that people should have the chance to see these objects.

:59:24. > :59:25.They are of an age, of a technological innovation that

:59:26. > :59:39.Final preparations have been made, and all that remains now,

:59:40. > :59:42.is for these pieces of history to be brought to the surface

:59:43. > :59:52.for the public to see for the first time.

:59:53. > :59:59.Well, I'm joined now by Lindsay Brown, who has been a major part of

:00:00. > :00:04.this dive from the British sub Aqua team. What have you been doing? We

:00:05. > :00:10.came here on Saturday and started diving operations on Sunday. We

:00:11. > :00:19.located the Ankara from which a chain runs some of the highballs --

:00:20. > :00:23.and Ankara. It was a case of finding really good highball is for the Navy

:00:24. > :00:28.to lift them. We know how exciting it is that you have been up close to

:00:29. > :00:32.these already. What do the public think about this? Why are you so

:00:33. > :00:36.involved in it? I think they are just fascinated with a part of

:00:37. > :00:40.history that was kept secret for a long time. It's amazing to be part

:00:41. > :00:45.of it and by uncovering part of this history for people to see and find

:00:46. > :00:49.out about what happened all these years ago. Loads of people are

:00:50. > :00:54.involved. What will happen today? Already one boat has gone out and

:00:55. > :00:58.they are helping the Navy move their moorings. After that there is going

:00:59. > :01:03.to be a highball lift, I think it's about 12pm or 1pm. That's a very

:01:04. > :01:08.exciting moment. What will happen to it? It's going to go on display,

:01:09. > :01:13.isn't it? There are two of them going to museums, one is going to

:01:14. > :01:17.the Royal Navy, three being lifted altogether. You why in a privileged

:01:18. > :01:22.position, you have been able to get up close and touch them. -- you are

:01:23. > :01:26.in a privileged position. I was involved in the first project in

:01:27. > :01:33.2010 with another dive here. And we spent five days here, just

:01:34. > :01:37.identifying, looking for locations of the highballs, we found the

:01:38. > :01:44.Ankara chain. The end of that project and the start of this one.

:01:45. > :01:48.How many are that? Over 200, amazing! We are going to get to see

:01:49. > :01:55.the very moment where they get lifted. Absolutely, watch this

:01:56. > :02:00.space! Lindsay, thank you so much for drawing us. We are hopefully

:02:01. > :02:06.going to get the first glimpse of these in over 70 years at about

:02:07. > :02:09.lunchtime. An amazing story. Thank you, Katrina. The news channel will

:02:10. > :02:11.be covering that. What a beautiful day you have there as well.

:02:12. > :02:13.Time for a last, brief look at the headlines

:02:14. > :04:01.Hello, welcome back, thank you for watching.

:04:02. > :04:04.When it comes to recovering from illness, the body can do

:04:05. > :04:07.But sometimes alternative therapies can help the process.

:04:08. > :04:09.There's evidence that when patients get creative through things

:04:10. > :04:12.like drama, dance, and music then it can aid their recovery

:04:13. > :04:15.from illness and injury. A new report from a group of MPs

:04:16. > :04:17.is asking for these type of therapies to be

:04:18. > :04:23.Breakfast's Tim Muffett's been finding out more.

:04:24. > :04:25.This is the mystery of the cups and balls.

:04:26. > :04:28.Can magic improve health and wellbeing?

:04:29. > :04:34.The cups and balls, which is a very old magic trick, is 3,000 years old.

:04:35. > :04:37.But within that, it has so many movements.

:04:38. > :04:40.It has pinching and grasping, has arm extension, it has

:04:41. > :04:42.turning of the hands, it has balance, it

:04:43. > :04:49.Catherine, Aaron, Ellie and Josh have hemiplegia -

:04:50. > :04:53.partial paralysis caused by brain injury.

:04:54. > :04:55.They are on a magic intensive therapy programme run by BREATHE

:04:56. > :05:01.Last year, it won an innovation award from NHS England.

:05:02. > :05:04.In a way, it is like therapy by stealth, but they are also

:05:05. > :05:07.working the hands and learning the motor skills, and they're

:05:08. > :05:09.gaining in confidence, because magic is a performing art

:05:10. > :05:17.When I was younger I used to refuse to do a lot of physio,

:05:18. > :05:19.because a lot of people think it's boring, it's mundane,

:05:20. > :05:22.it doesn't really - you take time out of your day to do,

:05:23. > :05:25.be in pain basically, and while doing the tricks you don't

:05:26. > :05:27.realise you're actually helping yourself, so it's a way

:05:28. > :05:31.of combatting stiffness without actually being totally

:05:32. > :05:41.You don't think about the little things that could help, like a cup,

:05:42. > :05:45.pouring something into, like, into a drink, from a glass.

:05:46. > :05:48.You don't think about the things that, a trick like the cups

:05:49. > :05:51.and balls would help you with, not at all.

:05:52. > :05:55.Almost three-quarters of the young people who have taken part

:05:56. > :05:59.in these magic sessions say either their mood, their self

:06:00. > :06:02.confidence or the way they feel about themselves has improved.

:06:03. > :06:10.It's not only helped his hands, and his hands have improved

:06:11. > :06:12.massively, and that has helped with his independence at home,

:06:13. > :06:17.but it has given him the confidence to be a child with hemiplegia,

:06:18. > :06:29.A form of arts based health care MPs want to see used more widely.

:06:30. > :06:33.Tim Muffett, BBC News. That's really interesting.

:06:34. > :06:35.With us to talk about this is Dr Daisy Fancourt,

:06:36. > :06:37.a research scientist from Imperial College

:06:38. > :06:40.And Russell Haines, who was prescribed painting

:06:41. > :06:44.after a stroke, and is now a professional artist.

:06:45. > :06:51.A fascinating journey to go one. Good morning to you both. Tell us

:06:52. > :06:58.about your story first of all, Russell? What was the medical issue

:06:59. > :07:06.of what happened after that was all I had a stroke when I was 44, and I

:07:07. > :07:12.couldn't work any more. I spent the best part of 18 months in bed. I

:07:13. > :07:17.just got progressively worse. I couldn't walk. I put on weight, I

:07:18. > :07:21.had problems with sleeping. I had to have a machine in the end to help me

:07:22. > :07:26.sleep because I had sleep apnoea. I had problems with my back. Just

:07:27. > :07:31.generally went downhill. Suffered quite badly from depression. Because

:07:32. > :07:36.of that, because I didn't work, I can provide for my family and

:07:37. > :07:41.business and everything else. -- I couldn't provide. Then my GP

:07:42. > :07:45.prescribed me art lift, which changed my life, I hate saying that

:07:46. > :07:49.but it changed my life. What to you think initially? I thought it would

:07:50. > :07:51.be a roomful of people hugging each other telling each other how

:07:52. > :07:58.wonderful we were, and I didn't really want to do that! But you

:07:59. > :08:04.still went? My ex, I think, made me go, if I'm honest, which I'm

:08:05. > :08:08.eternally grateful to her for. We are surrounded now by your pictures.

:08:09. > :08:17.You have become, after going to that class, an artist. Yes. You sound

:08:18. > :08:21.incredulous, and you are the artist! Yes, it's taken a few years, but

:08:22. > :08:25.it's come on really, really well. I've just had a big exhibition in

:08:26. > :08:29.Gloucester Cathedral which has now gone round the country, it is in

:08:30. > :08:37.Cambridge. So, yeah, it's amazing. Daisy, Russell is a big success

:08:38. > :08:41.story. But lots of people must say, hold on, this isn't real treatment,

:08:42. > :08:45.medicine can address these issues? Yes, but the report that has been

:08:46. > :08:49.published today has highlighted that one in five visits to the GP is not

:08:50. > :08:54.for medical reasons, in fact there is a cost associated with this that

:08:55. > :08:59.is found to be the equivalent of the salaries of 3750 GPs per year. There

:09:00. > :09:02.is a recognition that as well as GPs providing medicals Paul Blake need

:09:03. > :09:07.to signpost people to community activities that can provide older

:09:08. > :09:11.psychosocial benefits, for example the arts on prescription. We already

:09:12. > :09:14.have over 400 general practices in England who are doing this kind of

:09:15. > :09:18.prescribing. I find most fascinating that the valuations of these

:09:19. > :09:22.programmes have shown that they can save money for the NHS. One

:09:23. > :09:28.evaluation found that for every ?1 that was spent for arts on

:09:29. > :09:34.prescription, in -- another ?11 could be saved. You said that art

:09:35. > :09:39.changed your life. What other things are you finding? Does music work

:09:40. > :09:44.with some particular conditions? We are seeing a broad range of things

:09:45. > :09:47.that can be offered on prescription. You saw brief magic for children

:09:48. > :09:52.with one-sided paralysis. We have dance programmes for people with

:09:53. > :09:55.Parkinson's disease to help them walk and singing for people with

:09:56. > :09:58.lung conditions. We have programmes that are targeting mental health

:09:59. > :10:02.conditions or particularly looking at things like chronic pain. There

:10:03. > :10:06.are so many ways that the arts can be used and they are being selected

:10:07. > :10:12.on what the medical problem is. Had you tried before you were given the

:10:13. > :10:19.art therapy? Pills, basically. I just kept going back to the doctor

:10:20. > :10:23.and being given more and more antidepressants, which then caused

:10:24. > :10:27.more problems. I'm not blaming the doctor for that at all, you know,

:10:28. > :10:31.you've got five minutes to find out what's wrong with you. But I ended

:10:32. > :10:36.up in a sort of cycle of more and more medication that just made

:10:37. > :10:43.things worse. I suppose it was the realisation that I didn't have to do

:10:44. > :10:46.that. And when I paint... I feel very uncomfortable saying this, but

:10:47. > :10:51.when I paint it makes me feel better. Very slowly I realised that

:10:52. > :10:55.the more I painted the better I felt, so I started not taking the

:10:56. > :11:00.pills any more, and now I don't take any medication whatsoever. So there

:11:01. > :11:04.are all sorts of different benefits from your point of view. Who is

:11:05. > :11:08.paying for these therapies, or who is providing them? There are a

:11:09. > :11:11.number of ways they are funded. We have got lots of arts partners,

:11:12. > :11:16.charities, foundations, philanthropist who from this work.

:11:17. > :11:22.But given that we are also seeing that the arts can save money within

:11:23. > :11:26.the NHS, there are some programmes where they being directly funded

:11:27. > :11:30.from the NHS. Something the report has highlighted today is that where

:11:31. > :11:33.these programmes do exist, they have to be very strong business cases

:11:34. > :11:36.demonstrating the impact they are having on the return on investments.

:11:37. > :11:41.Critically, the report published today is not asking for more public

:11:42. > :11:44.spending. It is asking for enhanced coordination between the arts,

:11:45. > :11:48.health and social care sectors, so that we can find ways of delivering

:11:49. > :11:55.the arts programmes to more people who can benefit. Does it tend to

:11:56. > :11:58.work for a certain type of person? It's great that it has worked for

:11:59. > :12:01.Russell and many others, but I'm sure that many people try it and it

:12:02. > :12:04.doesn't have the desired effect. Do you find that by doing this is the

:12:05. > :12:08.beauty of social prescribing, there are so many things that people can

:12:09. > :12:12.get involved and in that communities. It is not one size fits

:12:13. > :12:15.all. There are so many arts organisations getting engaged in

:12:16. > :12:19.this work and working with the health sector, there are a plethora

:12:20. > :12:29.of options for people and GPs looking for what they can prescribe

:12:30. > :12:32.their patients. Russell, it was a social interaction thing as well?

:12:33. > :12:37.Yes, you talk to people with the same problems as you have. I didn't

:12:38. > :12:43.do a lot of art at first, I just chatted and drank cups of tea a lot!

:12:44. > :12:47.It was great. But now I'm lucky enough to have quite a big, it's a

:12:48. > :12:53.very cold studio but a very big studio. And I have groups of people

:12:54. > :12:56.who have been through the programme themselves, they don't pay any

:12:57. > :13:00.money, they just come and do some art when they want to. Sometimes

:13:01. > :13:06.they just sit there and chat and drink tea. In is to be a big studio.

:13:07. > :13:11.The canvas you paint are huge! -- it needs to be a big studio. Are they

:13:12. > :13:15.all portraits or is there is being? I can't paint anything without

:13:16. > :13:21.people, I can't paint it free or anything! You said -- I cannot paint

:13:22. > :13:26.a tree. You said to eyesight is not very good. I'm getting old! Thank

:13:27. > :13:28.you both very much indeed, very interesting.

:13:29. > :13:31.Naga and Charlie will be here tomorrow from 6am.

:13:32. > :13:35.But now on BBC One, it's time for Right On The Money

:13:36. > :13:40.Whether you're a spender or a saver, we could all do with knowing how to
