:00:36. > :00:38.Thursday the 20th of July. A Council under pressure -

:00:39. > :00:42.survivors of the Grenfell fire speak out at an emotionally charged

:00:43. > :01:00.meeting as the new council leader I reiterate that apology to you

:01:01. > :01:06.directly. Note is no buts, no excuses.

:01:07. > :01:13.Children are getting excited about the summer holidays but for parents,

:01:55. > :01:58.heavy showers around after flooding yesterday in north-west England and

:01:59. > :02:00.Wales. With the bright skies can something a little fresher. Details

:02:02. > :02:04.could be prevented if more people looked after the health

:02:05. > :02:06.of their brain better throughout their lives,

:02:07. > :02:08.according to new research. An international study published

:02:09. > :02:11.in the Lancet lists key risk factors including lack of education,

:02:12. > :02:13.hearing loss, smoking Here's our medical

:02:14. > :02:27.correspondent, Fergus Walsh. Now there is another reason to stay

:02:28. > :02:31.active. Keeping fit can reduce your risk of getting dementia as well is

:02:32. > :02:36.protect against heart disease and cancer. Keeping the mind active

:02:37. > :02:40.throughout life builds what the study calls cognitive reserve,

:02:41. > :02:45.strengthening the brain so that it can function in later life despite

:02:46. > :02:51.damage. The main risk for dementia is old-age. But the Lancet study

:02:52. > :02:55.says that 35% of all cases could potentially be prevented if nine

:02:56. > :03:00.other factors that were addressed. They are - lack of education,

:03:01. > :03:02.hearing loss, smoking, depression, social isolation, physical

:03:03. > :03:11.inactivity, high blood pressure, obesity and diabetes. Throughout

:03:12. > :03:14.your adult life, having an enriched environment where you can socialise

:03:15. > :03:20.and exercise and do cognitively stimulating things, that all does

:03:21. > :03:26.it. Do that. Do not smoke, try not to be obese, try to be active. These

:03:27. > :03:30.things can make a difference. Outside is calm is about two thirds

:03:31. > :03:35.of dementia cases. There is still no drug that can slow progress. The

:03:36. > :03:39.Alzheimer's Society says the manager is said to be the 21st-century's

:03:40. > :03:41.biggest killer. We all need to be aware of the risks and start making

:03:42. > :03:44.positive lifestyle changes. The new leader of Kensington

:03:45. > :03:47.and Chelsea council has been heckled by furious residents

:03:48. > :03:48.of Grenfell Tower, at the authority's first full

:03:49. > :03:51.meeting since the fire. Elizabeth Campbell was told

:03:52. > :03:53.to resign as she admitted that the council needed

:03:54. > :04:00.to change fundamentally, if it was to regain

:04:01. > :04:02.the trust of the community. At least 80 people were killed

:04:03. > :04:06.in the blaze last month. Our reporter Frankie McCamley

:04:07. > :04:16.was at the meeting, and witnessed Tensions were always going to be

:04:17. > :04:21.high here with hundreds protesting outside the council hall. And

:04:22. > :04:30.inside, it got off to a difficult start. With jeering from Grenfell

:04:31. > :04:34.Tower residents towards Elizabeth Campbell, elected as the new council

:04:35. > :04:40.leader. Know ifs, no buts, no excuses. I am deeply sorry for the

:04:41. > :04:49.grief and trauma that you are suffering. I am deeply sorry. That

:04:50. > :04:54.we did not do more to help you when you needed it the most. The agenda

:04:55. > :04:59.was then scrapped, giving residents a chance to have their say. Won by

:05:00. > :05:05.one they gave their accounts but some still left frustrated. The

:05:06. > :05:13.people must choose you. We have not chosen new. So, madam, please, step

:05:14. > :05:19.down and resigned. Behind these memories, hundreds of people have

:05:20. > :05:24.been killed, have died. As others continue calling on the Council for

:05:25. > :05:29.parents support, more and more residents watched tensely from

:05:30. > :05:33.outside after around four hours the meeting was abruptly closed when one

:05:34. > :05:36.resident collapsed. The next will be in October. Until then, there is

:05:37. > :05:41.clearly a lot of work to be done. The BBC's admitted it needs to do

:05:42. > :05:45.more to address the difference in pay between men and women

:05:46. > :05:48.after naming the stars who earn The corporation defended the high

:05:49. > :05:53.salaries which were revealed yesterday in its annual report,

:05:54. > :05:56.but has been urged to close the pay gap earlier than its

:05:57. > :05:58.current target of 2020. BBC executive James Purnell said pay

:05:59. > :06:13.cuts were part of the solution. Quite a lot of men have been taking

:06:14. > :06:21.pay cuts already. That was said today. Will you expect more mail on

:06:22. > :06:26.the air talent to take a pay cut? I will not negotiate on air but that

:06:27. > :06:27.is one of the levers we can pool and we have been doing that.

:06:28. > :06:29.We'll find out later today whether the UK

:06:30. > :06:32.and the European Union are any closer to a Brexit deal.

:06:33. > :06:35.The Brexit Secretary David Davis and the EU's negotiator

:06:36. > :06:38.Michel Barnier will outline the progress of their talks so far.

:06:39. > :06:40.Our political correspondent, Chris Mason joins us -

:06:41. > :06:44.Chris, are we expecting any agreement to be announced?

:06:45. > :06:54.Good morning. Good question. I cannot give you a direct answer

:06:55. > :06:59.because we are not 100% certain. What we do know is that David Davis,

:07:00. > :07:04.the Brexit secretary, is travelling back to Brussels today. He was there

:07:05. > :07:07.earlier this week and in between many British officials have been

:07:08. > :07:13.involved in negotiations with the EU opposite numbers. When I called the

:07:14. > :07:18.Brexit Department last night for an answer to the question I anticipated

:07:19. > :07:23.you would ask me, my pen was poised above a blank page on my notebook

:07:24. > :07:28.but it is still as naked as a newborn after the conversation ended

:07:29. > :07:33.another drop of input was used. They acknowledged they simply did not

:07:34. > :07:36.know. Now with all of this briefing going on within the government over

:07:37. > :07:41.the last ten days they may argue that keeping quite a tight lid on

:07:42. > :07:47.what they hope to announce, possibly at a news conference this afternoon,

:07:48. > :07:51.as up to being a good thing. What it does not add up to is giving me

:07:52. > :07:58.anything new to tell you this morning. Maybe then negotiating the

:07:59. > :08:04.time, we will find out later at some point. Let's discuss a deal leader

:08:05. > :08:12.of the liberal Democrats, he is assumed because no-one else has

:08:13. > :08:17.thrown their name into the hat? We can hazard a reasonable guess that

:08:18. > :08:23.there is a decent chance that by the end of today Vince cable will be the

:08:24. > :08:29.new leader of the Liberal Democrats. How can I be confident? Well, as of

:08:30. > :08:32.now at ten minutes past six in the morning, ten hours before the

:08:33. > :08:38.deadline for candidates to put their name forward, his is the only name

:08:39. > :08:42.that has been put forward. A man who used to be in government as business

:08:43. > :08:46.Secretary and then was defeated a couple of years ago after losing his

:08:47. > :08:51.seat he is now back in Parliament. It would appear likely to be Liberal

:08:52. > :08:54.Democrat leader by the end of the day because of fears the only

:08:55. > :08:58.candidate they will not go through the business of an election. And he

:08:59. > :09:03.will become the leader, replacing Tim Farron. Thank you very much.

:09:04. > :09:06.Members of Donald Trump's inner circle will be questioned by the two

:09:07. > :09:08.US Congressional Committees - investigating allegations of Russian

:09:09. > :09:09.interference in last year's election.

:09:10. > :09:12.His eldest son, Donald Junior, and former campaign manager

:09:13. > :09:14.Paul Manafort, will appear next Wednesday.

:09:15. > :09:16.His son-in-law, Jared Kushner will face questions on Monday.

:09:17. > :09:26.Mr Trump and his allies have denied any collusion.

:09:27. > :09:29.Concerns have been raised about the number of adult mental

:09:30. > :09:32.health patients being held in locked rehabilitation wards in England.

:09:33. > :09:34.The Care Quality Commission said it was "surprising"

:09:35. > :09:36.there were around 3,500 people in locked wards,

:09:37. > :09:38.with some patients spending years in such facilities.

:09:39. > :09:48.Our health reporter Smitha Mundasad reports.

:09:49. > :09:57.Jeff Clarke spent years locked in psychiatric rehabilitation units

:09:58. > :10:02.after developing schizophrenia. It was very boring. Not a lot to do.

:10:03. > :10:09.People I did not get on with. Things add up. It was not a pleasant place

:10:10. > :10:14.to be. He is now back in his community, close to home. But

:10:15. > :10:18.England's health regulator says locked rehabilitation wards are not

:10:19. > :10:23.the right model of care for the 21st century. It is worried that some

:10:24. > :10:27.people face years of being institutionalised, rather than being

:10:28. > :10:31.helped on the road back home. We suspect that there are a high

:10:32. > :10:37.proportion of people in these services who could and should be

:10:38. > :10:41.moved back to be closer to home and be cared for in settings, in

:10:42. > :10:48.residential settings that are far more independent. Inspectors say

:10:49. > :10:51.safety is another major concern. They rated about one third of

:10:52. > :10:57.services as needing improvement. One in 20 were deemed inadequate. Their

:10:58. > :11:02.report says old buildings with blind spots that make it harder to monitor

:11:03. > :11:08.patients, and a shortage of nursing staff could leave people at risk.

:11:09. > :11:12.But staff were praised for being caring and treating people with

:11:13. > :11:17.dignity and respect at the vast majority of trust. NHS England says

:11:18. > :11:20.big steps have been made in improving mental health services

:11:21. > :11:22.with all money going into the system. It agrees that there is

:11:23. > :11:33.still more work to be done. Heavy machinery will be brought in

:11:34. > :11:37.today to start work on the main road into a Cornish village are badly hit

:11:38. > :11:40.by flooding. Much of the road was washed away drink stormy weather on

:11:41. > :11:41.Tuesday afternoon. Villagers have been clearing up properties which

:11:42. > :11:51.ended up on the water. Everywhere you seem to look, there

:11:52. > :11:54.are workers in high viz jackets. It is all about trying to bring some

:11:55. > :11:58.sort of normality back to this village. The downpour on Tuesday had

:11:59. > :12:03.an impact which will be sold here for a very long time. The location

:12:04. > :12:08.at the bottom of steep hills that means it was in the path of the

:12:09. > :12:13.rain. This is what is left of the main road in. Some of it ripped up

:12:14. > :12:16.by nature, other parts taken up as council staff work out how much

:12:17. > :12:21.damage has been done and what repairs are needed. The promise is

:12:22. > :12:26.they will not leave until the job is done. They have committed that they

:12:27. > :12:29.will stay here until people have access and the road is usable.

:12:30. > :12:34.Obviously in terms of making a perfect surface that may take a

:12:35. > :12:38.little while it they are getting to it as quickly as possible, to give

:12:39. > :12:43.people access to their properties and over the road. Houses that need

:12:44. > :12:49.cleaning up go on. This is our kitchen. I don't think we will be

:12:50. > :12:53.cooking anything in there for a few months. Insurance and services are

:12:54. > :12:56.visiting some but for others like this couple they will need to for

:12:57. > :13:01.the repair bill themselves, as they could not get insurance. It is the

:13:02. > :13:03.start of the busiest six weeks of the tourist season but the weather

:13:04. > :13:11.has dealt this village a major blow. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

:13:12. > :13:14.will renew their friendly sporting rivalry when they visit the German

:13:15. > :13:16.city of Heidelberg today. The Royal couple will take

:13:17. > :13:19.to the water in opposing rowing The Duke and Duchess,

:13:20. > :13:23.who are on a three-day tour of of the country with Prince George

:13:24. > :13:26.and Princess Charlotte, will also visit the German

:13:27. > :13:35.Cancer Research Centre. It is now 13 minutes past six and

:13:36. > :13:39.those are the main stories. Sport coming up a little later on. Letter

:13:40. > :13:44.look at the newspapers. Lompoc at one story dominating the front pages

:13:45. > :13:50.and that is the pay revelations that the BBC. The Guardian says there is

:13:51. > :13:54.a backlash as male stars dominate the top a list, saying that the

:13:55. > :14:00.highest-paid woman is on 20% of Chris Evans's salary and that men

:14:01. > :14:04.make up two thirds of staff on at least ?250,000 a year. The

:14:05. > :14:09.corporation has been attacked for clear discrimination. We will

:14:10. > :14:13.discuss that later on with the BBC. Not everyday day the BBC Breakfast

:14:14. > :14:21.sofa makes the front page of the sun but there we go. Figures are out

:14:22. > :14:24.there. As said, looking at some of the detail and some of the

:14:25. > :14:28.discrepancies highlighted. Of the Daily Mail saying mutiny. Bitter

:14:29. > :14:39.recriminations at the politically correct BBC as the gulf between men

:14:40. > :14:42.and women's pay is revealed. And... Let's choose and stories from the

:14:43. > :14:45.inside pages as well. If you wanted something else entirely away from

:14:46. > :14:49.other things here is a chance to dwell on an image free second. Look

:14:50. > :14:53.at this. An extraordinary picture from the Daily Mail. We knew Anand

:14:54. > :14:56.was strong, didn't we? But this shows you how strong they really

:14:57. > :15:01.are. They are like the Altima workers. It is capturing the moment

:15:02. > :15:08.where it it is lifting up and insect 40 times its weight. The equivalent

:15:09. > :15:16.for you, if you were as strong as an ant, in relative terms... If you are

:15:17. > :15:21.as strong as in and you would be lifting four and a half tons of your

:15:22. > :15:29.head. Right. Like studio, basically? Strongman. The time now was a

:15:30. > :15:36.quarter past six and you are watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:15:37. > :15:42.One in three cases of dementia could be avoided if more people looked

:15:43. > :15:43.after the health of their brains, this according to a new study.

:15:44. > :15:46.Furious residents of Grenfell Tower have booed and heckled

:15:47. > :15:49.the new leader of Kensington Council at the authority's first full

:15:50. > :15:55.Here's Matt with a look at this morning's weather.

:15:56. > :16:05.We will be speaking to Mike, rather, and it is quite windy and raining

:16:06. > :16:11.out there, but we have seen flooding down in Cornwall as well?

:16:12. > :16:14.Good morning. Through the past 24 hours it has been all over the

:16:15. > :16:19.country. This was the scene yesterday. In the afternoon we saw

:16:20. > :16:23.nasty storms moving through. Conditions are quieting down today.

:16:24. > :16:27.The odd rumble of thunder in northern and eastern areas. It will

:16:28. > :16:31.turn dry out and writer for many. A big contrast if you are about to

:16:32. > :16:35.step out the door, as far as temperatures are concerned. A muggy

:16:36. > :16:41.18 in the south-east, but Northern Ireland is only eight Celsius. It is

:16:42. > :16:44.that fresh air that will be working its way in with those sunny

:16:45. > :16:51.conditions. Much of Scotland and England again today cloudy and wet.

:16:52. > :16:54.-- big in the day. It will start to improve for the vast majority

:16:55. > :16:58.through the day. North-east Scotland will stay wet and we will see shower

:16:59. > :17:04.is pushing into the West Lakes that in the day. -- into the west later.

:17:05. > :17:07.Rain and gusty winds across northern Scotland. A few showers in Northern

:17:08. > :17:14.Ireland this afternoon. Those could be on the Heavyside but nowhere near

:17:15. > :17:21.the of recent days. Need to late afternoon, some of the rain will

:17:22. > :17:25.clear parts of western England. Isolated showers this afternoon in

:17:26. > :17:29.south-west England and Wales. Temperatures around 23 or 24 in

:17:30. > :17:32.parts of western England before the fresher our pushes in. Tonight the

:17:33. > :17:39.rain will continue in northern Scotland. Our eyes later turned to

:17:40. > :17:45.this feature, aid big amount of cloud and rain and gusty winds set

:17:46. > :17:50.to push their way in. It should DH early start to Friday. Bang on cue

:17:51. > :17:53.for the start of summer holidays across England and Wales. As low

:17:54. > :17:57.pressure moves in it will affect Northern Ireland first, with

:17:58. > :18:01.outbreaks of rain and wind, becoming persistent across Wales, south-west

:18:02. > :18:05.England, and not just that, winds could be hit in gale force. Showers

:18:06. > :18:10.to the east of that, but much of eastern England, northern England

:18:11. > :18:13.and Scotland will have a dry day. Temperatures generally a little bit

:18:14. > :18:17.higher than some of you will see today. Through Friday night that

:18:18. > :18:20.area of low pressure moves east. Rain overnight spreads across

:18:21. > :18:23.England and Wales, into southern Scotland. Saturday looking wet

:18:24. > :18:27.across some parts of southern Scotland. Elsewhere there will be

:18:28. > :18:34.sunshine and hit and miss showers this Saturday. Overall, temperatures

:18:35. > :18:38.out, if not a bit lower than, average. That low pressure system

:18:39. > :18:42.sticks around into Sunday as well. Most resistant rain across eastern

:18:43. > :18:45.Scotland and we could see something particularly wet across the English

:18:46. > :18:49.Channel as well. In between, fewer showers around then we see on

:18:50. > :18:53.Saturday. Temperatures on the disappointing side to you, for those

:18:54. > :18:58.of you breaking up for the summer term. So if you are heading into

:18:59. > :19:01.Europe, it is looking warm a round the Mediterranean. Temperatures in

:19:02. > :19:05.the low to mid- 20s. Just a few storms across parts of France.

:19:06. > :19:10.We're talking about the price of childcare during the school

:19:11. > :19:14.A new report says the cost is rising, and in some cases

:19:15. > :19:16.is double what you'd pay during term time.

:19:17. > :19:20.Sean is at a school holiday club in Manchester with the details.

:19:21. > :19:30.Good morning, Sean. Good morning. I am in south Manchester. We are at a

:19:31. > :19:33.holiday club this morning, where we have lots going on. The kids haven't

:19:34. > :19:38.arrived yet. I'm just preparing breakfast. It is a big deal, because

:19:39. > :19:43.all of this doesn't cost nothing. It doesn't come for free. Comparative

:19:44. > :19:48.asked Yeo, costs are up 4%. There are with me while I make the egg on

:19:49. > :19:51.toast. 4%, everything like this is costing more than last year. Parents

:19:52. > :19:57.are also finding it harder to find the child cannot doubt. So when kids

:19:58. > :20:01.come in, they sat down for Brett is this morning, before they go to the

:20:02. > :20:04.school over the road. There will be lots of kids coming here to have a

:20:05. > :20:08.holiday already started. Some parents cannot afford to pay this

:20:09. > :20:14.for six or seven weeks. ?124, on average, per week. We asked a few

:20:15. > :20:17.parents at the gates yesterday at the other school, which is already

:20:18. > :20:20.finished, what they were planning for the summer holidays. During the

:20:21. > :20:24.holidays obviously I take some time off work, but the rest of the time

:20:25. > :20:28.that she usually spends with her grandparents with some friends who

:20:29. > :20:33.have children at the school as well. My wife and I will take time off

:20:34. > :20:37.this year to look after the kids. My parents-in-law are going to look

:20:38. > :20:41.after my youngest daughter. We sat down before the summer holidays and

:20:42. > :20:45.think of what we will do, try to plan it all out, and plan

:20:46. > :20:48.financially to pay for it as well. Sometimes that is the hardest part.

:20:49. > :20:53.I'm very lucky, I've got parents can take care of my children most of the

:20:54. > :20:57.time. Either that or I'm off for one day of the week or Myanmar husband

:20:58. > :21:01.will try to do it. We work at around parents and family, basically. So,

:21:02. > :21:05.I'm actually looking forward to some kids actually getting here so they

:21:06. > :21:09.can make a better deal of this than me. Over the morning will be talking

:21:10. > :21:12.about those costs going up. In large parts of the country there is

:21:13. > :21:15.actually a shortage childcare provision, particularly in England,

:21:16. > :21:18.which is why you hear of parents having to make so many of those

:21:19. > :21:22.alternative arrangements. We will be speaking to the people running this

:21:23. > :21:26.place when the kids get here, I'm sure, and it will kick off then, and

:21:27. > :21:30.will be speaking to some parents about how much they can afford to

:21:31. > :21:33.keep up with the price rises that are generally happening across the

:21:34. > :21:37.country. I'm looking forward to some kids turning up as well to keep you

:21:38. > :21:37.company. We will see you later. What could go wrong?

:21:38. > :21:40.Snowdon is a mountain which offers breathtaking views and climbing

:21:41. > :21:44.Now imagine getting to the summit in a wheelchair.

:21:45. > :21:45.Jason Liversidge has motor-neurone disease.

:21:46. > :21:48.He has limited movement and needs 24-hour care but was determined

:21:49. > :21:51.to attempt the climb just a few days ago.

:21:52. > :21:53.Breakfast has been following Jason and his family.

:21:54. > :22:05.We sent Graham Sachell to join them on their journey.

:22:06. > :22:15.The top of Snowdon is three and half thousand feet above sea level. A

:22:16. > :22:24.challenge if you are fit and able. Jason Liversedge is attempting it in

:22:25. > :22:29.a wheelchair. One of those ideas that seemed like a good idea at the

:22:30. > :22:33.time. The further we get the more excited I get to get to the top.

:22:34. > :22:37.Jason has made a neurone disease. He is here with his wife Liz and a team

:22:38. > :22:44.of helpers. But this is difficult terrain. They will use ramps and

:22:45. > :22:50.muscle and will power. Jason is determined and very curvaceous. He

:22:51. > :22:55.has got this is zest for life. -- determined and very tenacious. I

:22:56. > :22:59.will be right behind him and want him to keep going as long as he can.

:23:00. > :23:06.The must have slowly taken Jason's ability to walk and talk, not his

:23:07. > :23:19.determination. -- the illness. Not brilliant, but on the other hand, it

:23:20. > :23:25.has probably been the best time of my life. Jason was diagnosed three

:23:26. > :23:30.and a half years ago. He has gone from being fit and active to needing

:23:31. > :23:35.24-hour care. Jason and Liz have to daughters, Lily and poppy. He has

:23:36. > :23:39.got a lot to live for, he has two little girls who are four and five.

:23:40. > :23:43.You know, Jason would love to see them grow up. It is probably not

:23:44. > :23:47.realistic, but he wants to spend every day with them for as long as

:23:48. > :23:51.you can. More than four hours into the climb, this has become a battle

:23:52. > :23:55.with the mountain. An inch by inch push and pull struggle of wills.

:23:56. > :24:00.Jason is climbing partly to raise money for two charities, Mary Carey

:24:01. > :24:07.and Dahlhaus Hospice, but also to create memories for his two

:24:08. > :24:10.daughters. -- Dove House Hospice. His speeches already deteriorating

:24:11. > :24:14.and he will eventually rely a synthesised computer-generated

:24:15. > :24:17.voice. What to make sure his children still recognise him he

:24:18. > :24:21.recorded hundreds of his own words, so his computerised voice will sound

:24:22. > :24:31.like him. This is the first time I have heard my new voice. That's

:24:32. > :24:34.pretty good! That is, yeah. Back on the mountain, the batteries are

:24:35. > :24:40.starting to run out on Jason's wheelchair. So it is a mad dash to

:24:41. > :24:43.the top. But finally, after more than eight hours, they have done it.

:24:44. > :24:47.Absolutely amazing. What an achievement, to get to the top. You

:24:48. > :24:51.know, it is an achievement for all of us, and we are perfectly

:24:52. > :25:06.able-bodied, but the Jason, it is a huge achievement. What do you think?

:25:07. > :25:12.Amazing. Jason's next challenge, he plans to abseil from the Humber

:25:13. > :25:27.Bridge. But this is a moment to stop and remembrance taking the awesome

:25:28. > :25:31.beauty. You can just see how much that meant to him. What an

:25:32. > :25:33.achievement. Yeah, our congratulations to him and his team.

:25:34. > :25:36.Since climbing the mountain, Jason and his family have raised

:25:37. > :25:44.You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:25:45. > :25:47.Still to come this morning, we'll be live at the Open Golf Championship

:31:35. > :31:38.but has been urged to close the pay gap earlier than its

:31:39. > :31:40.current target of 2020. BBC executive James Purnell said pay

:31:41. > :31:54.cuts were part of the solution. Quite a lot of men have been taking

:31:55. > :32:00.pay cuts already. Will you be expecting more mail on their talent

:32:01. > :32:04.to take a pay cut? I'm not about to start negotiating live on air but

:32:05. > :32:05.that is one of the levers we can pull.

:33:15. > :33:16.The Care Quality Commission has said it's surprising

:33:20. > :33:22.NHS England said big steps had been made in improving mental healthcare

:33:25. > :33:27.believed a "significant number" of patients had the capacity to live

:33:28. > :33:48.We suspect that a high proportion of people in these services could and

:33:49. > :33:53.should be moved back to be closer to home and cared for in settings,

:33:54. > :33:54.residential settings, that provide much more independence.

:34:17. > :34:18.That's the equivalent of the weight

:34:19. > :34:20.of a billion elephants, or enough to cover a country

:34:21. > :34:30.The researchers, from the University of California, say most plastics

:34:31. > :34:33.are used just once; the vast majority ends up in landfill.

:34:34. > :34:35.They hope their findings will now help inform discussions

:34:36. > :34:38.A block of flats with wicker balconies, a dockyard redevelopment

:34:39. > :34:42.and a new college campus are among those in the running to be named

:34:43. > :34:46.Six buildings have been shortlisted for the prestigious architecture

:34:47. > :34:48.Previous winners include the Scottish Parliament

:34:49. > :35:08.The winner will be announced in October.

:35:09. > :35:15.Mike is a royal Birkdale for us, it is a day that will be challenging

:35:16. > :35:20.for golfers out there. It is challenging for you just to hold the

:35:21. > :35:26.umbrella up how are I am quite good. I'm sure you would love it if I took

:35:27. > :35:32.off now Mary Poppins style into the Irish Sea. But I will hold an. That

:35:33. > :35:37.is what makes it exciting and challenging. Of this course was a

:35:38. > :35:42.difficult enough already, let me set the for you already. Hind me there

:35:43. > :35:46.we have an eye on the sky on a platform to show you the wider

:35:47. > :35:52.picture here overlooking the third green. As you can see, there is rain

:35:53. > :35:56.on the lands, it is quite blustery. Really very windy and that will make

:35:57. > :36:04.it difficult for golfers going out this morning. Back here on the

:36:05. > :36:09.ground I am close by the third green. The flag right behind me so

:36:10. > :36:14.they will be coming through here in about an hour. The opening group of

:36:15. > :36:20.Ryan Moore, Chris Wood and the 1998 champion. They are getting things

:36:21. > :36:24.under way as I speak right now on the first tee. Because of the

:36:25. > :36:27.conditions and the fact that the top players in the world have been

:36:28. > :36:31.struggling so much recently that is what makes this the most open of

:36:32. > :36:37.opens for many years. We will hear from some contenders shortly. But

:36:38. > :36:40.able to become whether in the Netherlands first of all because

:36:41. > :36:43.England made a stunning start to their European championship

:36:44. > :36:47.campaign. They were always one of the favourites to win this

:36:48. > :36:50.tournament out there in Holland but few could have foreseen the

:36:51. > :36:58.thrashing they handed out to Scotland. For Scotland it was a

:36:59. > :37:03.tournament debut they will want to forget.

:37:04. > :37:08.England scored six goals plus Scotland that there was player who

:37:09. > :37:13.stole the limelight successes come late in the career for Jodie Taylor.

:37:14. > :37:19.This was almost worth the wait. I worked for years to get to this

:37:20. > :37:28.point, with difficult times and obstacles in my way. Being in a good

:37:29. > :37:34.team and to be a part of this right is incredible. I just hope we can

:37:35. > :37:38.continue winning and be successful as a team. This team is said to be

:37:39. > :37:42.the fittest yet. It may even be the fastest. Teddy Taylor had them up

:37:43. > :37:45.and running in no time. Two years ago the striker was carrying an

:37:46. > :37:50.injury when she played at the World Cup. This is what she can do when

:37:51. > :37:55.she is fully fit. The first England women's player to score a hat-trick

:37:56. > :37:57.and a major tournament. For Scotland, it was a sobering

:37:58. > :38:00.introduction to European competition. The tide kept coming

:38:01. > :38:04.and there was nothing they could do to turn it back. As for England,

:38:05. > :38:07.they have shown they are a team to be feared. There will be tougher

:38:08. > :38:13.challenges ahead for England but this was by far the most ruthless

:38:14. > :38:16.performance yet by a team at these Euros which underlines why they

:38:17. > :38:21.believe they are serious contenders for the title.

:38:22. > :38:27.Some cheer for Scottish football if you are a Celtic fan. They are into

:38:28. > :38:33.the third qualifying round for the Champions League after a 4-0 win

:38:34. > :38:44.over Irish side Linfield. That took them 6-0 on aggregate. Meanwhile

:38:45. > :38:54.Chelsea have agreed a deal to sign the -- had a Real Madrid striker

:38:55. > :39:00.Morata. Let's go to the mountains, the Alps and a shoulder injury has

:39:01. > :39:08.ended Martin's hopes of the green jersey at the two France. Chris

:39:09. > :39:15.finished third to extend his overall lead. He is now 27 seconds ahead of

:39:16. > :39:20.the Colombian ride and the French writer, with four stages to go.

:39:21. > :39:25.Maria Lyall overcame a calf injury to score 80 bronze medal at the para

:39:26. > :39:31.athletics World Championships in London. Her third place was

:39:32. > :39:38.replicated by Sunni in the 50 metres. She has made it 22 medals at

:39:39. > :39:44.all for Britain in the championship so far. Back by the third green, the

:39:45. > :39:50.10th time the opium championships has been staged on this famous horse

:39:51. > :39:54.as they take is the claret jug. There is a strong local favourite,

:39:55. > :39:58.everybody in town wanted to talk about the local lad with the long

:39:59. > :40:04.hair. Is almost like a pop star, his poster is up on some of the lamp

:40:05. > :40:08.posts. Tommy Fleetwood. Is well backed because if the world number

:40:09. > :40:12.14, he grew up a tee shot away from the course here and he has been

:40:13. > :40:17.shooting up the rankings lately, finishing fourth at the US Open.

:40:18. > :40:21.Let's hear from him and a few of the other contenders.

:40:22. > :40:29.Being talked about with the chance to win the open, that something that

:40:30. > :40:33.is hard to deal with the I would rather it be that way though nobody

:40:34. > :40:39.talking about it. It is great. Looking back as a kid, 20 years on,

:40:40. > :40:45.a lot gone into it. Yeah, to come back home and have a chance to win

:40:46. > :40:49.the open is very special. Once you win one that is off your shoulder

:40:50. > :40:53.and it is more about putting yourself into contention again to

:40:54. > :41:00.try and win a second one. Given how long and successful career -- my

:41:01. > :41:05.career has been, I would like a few more chances to win major

:41:06. > :41:10.championships. That is where that spark can come from, I think. My

:41:11. > :41:14.form has not been what I wanted it to be but that is fine. That is

:41:15. > :41:19.golf. There will always happen. You miss four from five cuts going into

:41:20. > :41:24.the summer of 12 and I won a major. The difference between playing well

:41:25. > :41:30.and not playing well is very small and fine in golf. Even more so for

:41:31. > :41:36.me, I feel. Aggressor, I am not far away. Rory McIlroy their. You can

:41:37. > :41:40.understand why he is 20 to one, even though he is the world number four.

:41:41. > :41:46.He has missed the cut three out of four times recently. Fans will walk

:41:47. > :41:50.the path alongside the fairways here trying to get a view of the start.

:41:51. > :41:54.Some fans are camping out, bless their souls, in the wind in the rain

:41:55. > :41:58.last night. I popped along to one of the sides last night to see who they

:41:59. > :42:05.thought my wind. Anyone can win it, really. Jordan Speith. Westwood I

:42:06. > :42:15.hope he wins it, because he has not won one yet. That parades. He was

:42:16. > :42:18.out there playing well today. I will always go to the home-town

:42:19. > :42:22.favourite. Looking forward to seeing it tomorrow, getting up early,

:42:23. > :42:26.camping is lovely anyway. You can fall out of your tent and go

:42:27. > :42:35.straight to the cause. My husband sold camping to me because he is

:42:36. > :42:42.said tables, chairs and mattresses. And nice weather. But... We are a

:42:43. > :42:47.hardy camps camp and now, all the way from Luxembourg just to be hit.

:42:48. > :42:51.So hopefully they slept well in their luxury tent. They will not

:42:52. > :42:56.mind, they will be up early like all the other fans to try and get a view

:42:57. > :43:02.of the opening group come out on the course already. I have the flag,

:43:03. > :43:06.well, not the flag, but a souvenir flag. I will try and get it signed

:43:07. > :43:13.today. It shows how windy it is, sort of. I promise, this is not the

:43:14. > :43:16.actual flag, it is just a souvenir. Good to know that you are not going

:43:17. > :43:21.around stealing flags. I'd believe they are important during the game.

:43:22. > :43:27.We will see you later, stay dry if you can. He did look miserable,

:43:28. > :43:38.didn't it? He is doing a good job of being cheerful out their. It has

:43:39. > :43:42.been a leadership contest in name only, today the Liberal Democrats

:43:43. > :43:47.find out if Sir Vince Cable will be their new leader. Other contenders

:43:48. > :43:52.have ruled themselves out. With big now to a former special adviser.

:43:53. > :43:55.Good morning to you. As it stands now, you are not going to tell as

:43:56. > :44:00.behind-the-scenes something has changed. Is what is the situation?

:44:01. > :44:14.No, I don't think we can anything to change. A few -- fewer candidates

:44:15. > :44:19.than expected. It does look like Vince cable, he has been temporary

:44:20. > :44:23.leader before, it looks like he will get a crack at leading the party

:44:24. > :44:27.properly. What does it tell us about the state of the party? Only one

:44:28. > :44:31.person, who has been connected with it for a very long time, still wants

:44:32. > :44:35.to be leader? Liberal Democrats is always a difficult job because a lot

:44:36. > :44:42.of it is a race to get coverage and to be noticed. When you have as few

:44:43. > :44:49.MPs as the Lib Dems do it is a real battle. That was what Tim Farron

:44:50. > :44:52.struggled against, he had to get people to notice him and taken

:44:53. > :44:58.seriously. That if they slogged. As a party, the Lib Dems are used to

:44:59. > :45:02.it, historically, many parties have had to do it before. They had to be

:45:03. > :45:07.dragged up from being close to zero in the opinion polls. That is what

:45:08. > :45:11.this job will involve for Sir Vince. And you will need to get out there

:45:16. > :45:19.poll rating even though there is really an opportunity for a party

:45:20. > :45:23.that stands the things that the Lib Dems do. You are talking about

:45:24. > :45:29.getting noticed, 1-way would be to choose someone a little unlikely a

:45:30. > :45:35.very different. Of course, in Vince Cable, you have somebody who is an

:45:36. > :45:37.MP for 20 years, formerly of business secretary in the Cameron

:45:38. > :45:42.administration. It feels like there is an awful other stuff attached to

:45:43. > :45:44.his past which fuels are not forward-looking. It feels like it is

:45:45. > :45:54.to do with what happened previously. I think that is true. One of the

:45:55. > :45:58.challenges Cable will have is carrying the Lib Dems reputation

:45:59. > :46:02.forward with him. They were damaged by being in coalition and doing some

:46:03. > :46:06.of the things they did in those years. There is a counterpart to

:46:07. > :46:10.that. Vince Cable is unusual, he is a polish and that lots of people in

:46:11. > :46:14.the country have heard of. Even more unusually, he is a Liberal Democrat

:46:15. > :46:18.politician lots of people have heard of. So he has that to his advantage.

:46:19. > :46:23.He has been on Strictly, people know who he is, he has name recognition.

:46:24. > :46:27.A counterpart of that is the history that he has, which means that he is

:46:28. > :46:31.somebody who frankly has some name recognition, he has been on TV and

:46:32. > :46:34.people recognise him. I am not being glib or insulting, but all

:46:35. > :46:38.politicians that is a challenge, and if you are leading the Lib Dems it

:46:39. > :46:40.is an even bigger one. So he has that in his favour, I think. Thank

:46:41. > :46:42.you for your time. It's 7:46 and you're watching

:46:43. > :46:45.Breakfast from BBC News. Here's Matt with a look

:46:46. > :46:54.at this morning's weather. We spoke to Michael earlier, and he

:46:55. > :46:57.was trying his best to be chirpy and Liverpool, but it was really quite

:46:58. > :47:01.miserable out there. What is it like elsewhere?

:47:02. > :47:07.I promise things will improve the him. It is not quite as bad

:47:08. > :47:10.yesterday -- as yesterday. Yesterday we saw flooding across parts of

:47:11. > :47:14.north Wales, north-west England and Northern Ireland. I don't think we

:47:15. > :47:20.will see scenes like this over the next 24 hours. Conditions are

:47:21. > :47:23.improving. With that comes a drop in temperature. A very big contrast

:47:24. > :47:28.from east to west. 18 in south-east corner. Just eight in Northern

:47:29. > :47:32.Ireland at the moment. That fresh air will be pushing westwards.

:47:33. > :47:36.Brighter weather on the way. Much of Scotland and northern England starts

:47:37. > :47:43.off cloudy. Outbreaks of rain and lots of cloud. Those outbreaks will

:47:44. > :47:46.ease from the west. Sunshine will develop and a few showers pushing in

:47:47. > :47:50.later, particularly from Northern Ireland. Hit and miss, not quite as

:47:51. > :47:54.heavy as in recent days, but there will be the odd flash of lightning.

:47:55. > :47:58.Same with the rain that persists in the far north of Scotland, into

:47:59. > :48:01.Orkney and Shetland. For the rest of Scotland the sunshine will come out

:48:02. > :48:06.in the afternoon, brightening up down the eastern coast. Temperatures

:48:07. > :48:10.getting to about 23 degrees. Isolated showers in the afternoon in

:48:11. > :48:13.Wales and south-west England. Most places will be dry and bright. The

:48:14. > :48:19.breeze easing down as well, that will be crucial for those golfers. I

:48:20. > :48:23.think the early starters will have the worst of it. The sky is

:48:24. > :48:27.continuing to brighten this morning. Sunshine this afternoon and the wind

:48:28. > :48:30.easing. Winds will pick up overnight in the south-west of the country,

:48:31. > :48:33.would showers in Wales and south-west England. Still waiting

:48:34. > :48:39.Orkney and Shetland for a time before that eases later on. -- still

:48:40. > :48:44.wait in Orkney and Shetland. Lifting after that initial dip thanks to

:48:45. > :48:48.southerly winds, it is all linked to this. Not what you want to see if

:48:49. > :48:51.you are beginning the summer break, especially across England and Wales.

:48:52. > :48:54.An area of low pressure which will slowly moving to the UK on Friday.

:48:55. > :48:57.That rings rain, especially in the morning in Northern Ireland. Dusty

:48:58. > :49:01.winds, rain becoming more persistent across Wales and south-west England.

:49:02. > :49:06.Gale force winds through the Irish Sea. Turning blustery through the

:49:07. > :49:09.rest of England and northern Scotland. Away from this far western

:49:10. > :49:12.areas, many will be dry, with sunshine and temperatures into the

:49:13. > :49:17.20s. Friday night into Saturday, that low pressure system still with

:49:18. > :49:20.us. A band of rain sweeping across England and his southern Scotland on

:49:21. > :49:24.Saturday. It is really a case of sunshine and hit and miss showers on

:49:25. > :49:28.Saturday. Showers could be just about anywhere. Still blustery for

:49:29. > :49:32.some. Nice enough once the showers dry out, but while they are with you

:49:33. > :49:36.it will feel distinctly cool for July. Temperatures struggling to get

:49:37. > :49:39.much above the mid if not high teens. Sunday, persistent rain

:49:40. > :49:42.remains across eastern Scotland. The chance we could see heavier bursts

:49:43. > :49:47.of persistent rain in being the channel. In between, more showers

:49:48. > :49:51.around, maybe not as many Saturday. The winds, away from the north of

:49:52. > :49:54.Scotland and the Channel Islands, should be mainly light. Hopefully

:49:55. > :49:57.things will warm up again later the next week.

:49:58. > :50:01.The summer holidays are nearly here, which might be music to the ears

:50:02. > :50:03.of kids, but maybe not for working parents.

:50:04. > :50:09.Sean's looking at the cost of childcare this morning.

:50:10. > :50:18.Here is that a young... Well, he is with some young friends in

:50:19. > :50:19.Manchester. Good morning. Yes, thank goodness they have

:50:20. > :50:29.arrived. Connor, Fraser, Charlie. Good

:50:30. > :50:33.morning, guys. I think they are making a horse, we will see how that

:50:34. > :50:36.goes through the morning. Lots of ages here. Childcare costs for

:50:37. > :50:41.parents, that is what we are talking about today. They are up 4% in some

:50:42. > :50:45.parts of the country. What are they going to do this summer? Costs can

:50:46. > :50:49.add up over six or seven weeks. Millie, Spencer, I'm really good at

:50:50. > :50:53.remembering the children's names. Gemma, you are merely's mother. What

:50:54. > :50:57.are your plans for the summer holidays? How easy will it be? You

:50:58. > :51:03.drop nearly off before school, you do for six weeks? Well, it is a bit

:51:04. > :51:07.of a challenge. A lot of the holiday clubs that we have come across only

:51:08. > :51:13.run from nine to three. They don't do the whole wraparound care. We are

:51:14. > :51:16.managing it with a mixture of me having time off, my husband having

:51:17. > :51:20.time off, and then Millie will be going to both sets of grandparents

:51:21. > :51:24.over the six weeks. Do you get a moment where you are all off at the

:51:25. > :51:29.same time? I don't think that we have managed to actually book that

:51:30. > :51:33.in yet, so we need to! Right. So there might be a bit of chaos this

:51:34. > :51:39.summer? Spencer is already. I was going to ask your question, you have

:51:40. > :51:48.run. You like it here? Yeah. Do you come here every day? No. Not every

:51:49. > :52:00.day? Only on Tuesday. On Monday as I go straight to school and on Monday

:52:01. > :52:06.and Wednesday and Thursday I go to Kids Next. Thank you, Spencer. He is

:52:07. > :52:10.a star in the making. Your costings be going up, let's speak to sue, the

:52:11. > :52:14.owner and operator. I don't know how you do this every day. I using this

:52:15. > :52:19.cost pressures that we are hearing about? Definitely. What kind of

:52:20. > :52:24.stuff? Things like pensions going up, you have to have that for the

:52:25. > :52:27.staff now. Minimum wage has gone up, food prices have gone up, the rent

:52:28. > :52:31.has gone up. Does that mean your prices have gone up as well? Yes.

:52:32. > :52:37.How do parents take that? Actually quite well here. It is quite a nice

:52:38. > :52:42.area around here. So the parents are happy to do that? Yes. That is good

:52:43. > :52:45.news at least. The reason we can talk about this morning, the family

:52:46. > :52:48.and child care trust have these figures together. Megan, you are

:52:49. > :52:52.from there stock we have heard about the parents' issues and business

:52:53. > :52:55.issues. What can be done to change it, because we have shortages in

:52:56. > :52:59.childcare provision? There is only enough childcare for the holidays in

:53:00. > :53:02.one in four areas in England. We need to make sure there is enough

:53:03. > :53:05.childcare for every family that needs it. The government has put

:53:06. > :53:09.lots of attention on childcare for younger children, which is great,

:53:10. > :53:12.that we know that parents are telling us it is just as tricky for

:53:13. > :53:15.kids once they are school-aged. The government introduced right to

:53:16. > :53:18.request for parents. They could ask their schools to provide holiday

:53:19. > :53:22.childcare. But our research found that only had a positive impact in

:53:23. > :53:26.4% of local areas. It is a great policy with loads of potential so we

:53:27. > :53:30.would like the government to go back to that and make sure that is really

:53:31. > :53:33.achieving that potential. We will get into that a bit more through the

:53:34. > :53:36.morning, because there are some tricky challenges therefore the

:53:37. > :53:39.government. The money has to come from somewhere. Parents, people

:53:40. > :53:43.running the business, reporters try to deal with the kids what I could

:53:44. > :53:46.tell you about a story, that is probably the least of the trouble

:53:47. > :53:50.this morning. It seems very quiet, Sean. I was inspecting more noise.

:53:51. > :53:56.Maybe it will be busier later on. It is only 6:15am, Charlie. We'll be

:53:57. > :54:00.back with later. Thank you. And thank you for your comments on

:54:01. > :54:08.childcare as well. We can talk about a couple. Leonora says, don't people

:54:09. > :54:11.plan to this when they decide to have children? Always moaning,

:54:12. > :54:15.parents want it all their own way, whereas Darren says, get rid of the

:54:16. > :54:19.six-week holiday. It puts lots of stress on families and the only

:54:20. > :54:22.people who benefit are those in the teaching profession. One from Emma,

:54:23. > :54:26.saying that her daughter goes to work with her. She sits on her

:54:27. > :54:30.laptop. Don't have a choice. Tell us your stories this morning about how

:54:31. > :54:33.you handle childcare. I imagine that a lot of people, if they have

:54:34. > :54:37.applicability, maybe they do take their kids to work, depending on the

:54:38. > :54:41.nature of the workplace. -- have that flexibility. It is 6:55am.

:54:42. > :54:44.It might seem the preserve of spy thrillers, but using retina scans

:54:45. > :54:47.as a way of accessing your money is very much a reality,

:55:04. > :55:10.From September, your eyes could be your password into your bank

:55:11. > :55:14.account. We will show you how to scan your iris. TSB customers will

:55:15. > :55:19.need an advanced Samsung smartphone to try out the advanced iris

:55:20. > :55:23.scanning technology. The clone's camera scans your eyes. If you want

:55:24. > :55:27.to log onto your bank account you just need glance at the screen.

:55:28. > :55:31.Because it is looking at 266 different characteristics of your

:55:32. > :55:35.ire... Let's just check. Can you get in, using your own eyes? It will not

:55:36. > :55:41.work if somebody else takes a look. It is extremely fast. It takes less

:55:42. > :55:48.than a second. It is extremely secure. And there is nothing more

:55:49. > :55:52.convenient than looking at the screen of your smartphone. You don't

:55:53. > :55:55.have to do anything special. We all know about the complexities of

:55:56. > :55:58.getting into your online accounts, remembering all sorts of passwords,

:55:59. > :56:03.dealing about with little devices like this. So could metrics, which

:56:04. > :56:09.depend on something unique about you, be as simple and secure -- EA

:56:10. > :56:13.simple and secure answer? Facial recognition and retina scanning are

:56:29. > :56:32.concerns. Privacy, and the security of the technology, whether it can be

:56:33. > :56:35.spoofed. If we get that right and put the right processes in place, I

:56:36. > :56:40.think the convenience that biometrics offers will create a

:56:41. > :56:43.fantastic customer experience. German hackers claimed they fooled

:56:44. > :56:48.Samsung's iris scanner with a high-definition photo. But the phone

:12:48. > :12:50.Let's speak now to David Reynolds, the Chief scientific officer

:12:51. > :13:04.Good morning. What makes this research different and how can

:13:05. > :13:08.people act upon it for it to actually be effective? What this

:13:09. > :13:13.research is done is put together a lot of studies done in the past and

:13:14. > :13:17.then said what can we tell us we put all together and they looked how big

:13:18. > :13:22.an impact a given factor can have as well is how common it is. From that,

:13:23. > :13:30.it has pulled out nine key things that you're in report earlier

:13:31. > :13:33.mentioned. Just to be clear, that is smoking, brain activity, more

:13:34. > :13:37.education, earlier in life... And hearing loss is probably the one we

:13:38. > :13:41.knew least about. It shows it is actual quite an important factor

:13:42. > :13:48.because it is so common, particularly in the over 55. Through

:13:49. > :13:53.that issue. These things a person has control over. You have control

:13:54. > :13:56.over your fitness level and diet, those kind of an. Hearing loss is

:13:57. > :14:02.something that happens to you. How do you handle that? This is two

:14:03. > :14:07.things in younger life, try to damage your ears by listening to

:14:08. > :14:11.really loud music or wearing you defenders when doing loud things.

:14:12. > :14:15.The other thing with hearing loss is that we have hearing aids. People

:14:16. > :14:22.should use them. The research is not yet proved effective use of hearing

:14:23. > :14:25.loss is able to reduce dementia but it would seem intuitive that it

:14:26. > :14:33.could do. Effective use of hearing aids? yes. One thing that has come

:14:34. > :14:38.out including hearing loss and mental health is that it is not just

:14:39. > :14:41.the physical loss linked to dementia, it is the well-being

:14:42. > :14:46.surrounding it, IT loneliness, that could arise if you have hearing loss

:14:47. > :14:52.or lack of social connection. Or interaction. That has been proven,

:14:53. > :14:55.been linked to dementia? We have known that before in this study

:14:56. > :15:01.reinforces the point. Social isolation is not good for your brain

:15:02. > :15:05.and trying to maintain and social networks and your brain active,

:15:06. > :15:10.either doing a crossword puzzle, learning to dance or higher

:15:11. > :15:13.education later in life, it does not particularly matter. It is about

:15:14. > :15:19.keeping your brain active and healthy. You also linked it to

:15:20. > :15:21.earlier in life, saying that people should be in education at beyond the

:15:22. > :15:30.age of 15. Education is something that is easy

:15:31. > :15:38.to measure and quantify. It is clearly linked to more education in

:15:39. > :15:42.younger life has in effect on not developing dementia in later life.

:15:43. > :15:47.It is also an indicator of how act is someone's mind is in later life,

:15:48. > :15:54.potentially, they keep using their brain and trying to learn. It is

:15:55. > :15:58.such an important subject, a lot of people watching this have family

:15:59. > :16:02.members who are suffering. Try to explain, if you can, someone will be

:16:03. > :16:08.watching this and saying, my dad has dementia. He is so bright, he did

:16:09. > :16:12.crosswords every morning, he is fit as a fiddle. All of those factors

:16:13. > :16:15.you talked about don't seem to be any part of their make-up, and yet,

:16:16. > :16:20.they are suffering from dementia. Can you try those things together?

:16:21. > :16:29.This study shows that one third could be prevented, which means that

:16:30. > :16:34.two thirds are not impacted. We know that our genes play a part of it,

:16:35. > :16:38.there is a large part that, as yet, scientists don't know the exact

:16:39. > :16:43.cause. While you can try and reduce your risk, there are many people out

:16:44. > :16:48.there for whom a healthy lifestyle and doing the crossword is not going

:16:49. > :16:52.to prevent development. That is where you need to develop medicines

:16:53. > :17:00.that can help those people that have dementia or are going to get it for

:17:01. > :17:12.which lifestyle factors won't be affecting them. Once you have it,

:17:13. > :17:16.you have it, don't you? We want to try and find people very early in

:17:17. > :17:20.the disease course, and when those medicines are available, give that

:17:21. > :17:24.to them so that they don't develop symptoms or they remain very mild.

:17:25. > :17:29.If you think about many other diseases, it is much easier to treat

:18:18. > :18:22.few hours, sunshine coming out in the rain clearing in the next

:18:23. > :18:27.half-hour. Winds easing, certainly an improvement today compared to

:18:28. > :18:30.yesterday. This is a scene in North Wales and north-west England, parts

:18:31. > :18:36.of Northern Ireland as well. Some bursts around today, what you

:18:37. > :18:42.probably notice, humid in eastern areas. Contrast that with Northern

:18:43. > :18:49.Ireland, temperatures as low as 16 degrees. In the way of sunshine, if

:18:50. > :18:53.you have got some rainy moments in England and Scotland, you will

:18:54. > :18:57.likely lose it. Eastern England will likely see some rain, and rain

:20:45. > :20:48.20s for many of you. Most persistent rain, it is in Scotland. We could

:20:49. > :20:54.see some rain through the English Channel. Some of you get away with a

:39:09. > :39:13.the 10th time this of course has held the open championship. I am

:39:14. > :39:21.delighted to say I am joined by Andrew Murray. Good morning. You'll

:39:22. > :39:27.twin six open. I have played a bit but this is exciting. It is one of

:39:28. > :39:33.the great golf courses in the world. A blustery horrible day to start

:39:34. > :39:39.with and it is clearing up now exactly as the BBC weather forecast

:39:40. > :39:43.said it would. This is great for spectators, but what about the

:39:44. > :39:50.players? Not one of them under par. A brutal start. The first hole it is

:39:51. > :39:54.the opposite wind to what they practised win yesterday. Abounds on

:39:55. > :39:57.the right-hand sides of the first hole, possibly one of the most

:39:58. > :40:00.intimidating tee shots I have ever faced. The wind blowing the ball

:40:01. > :40:04.towards out of bounds which is where, of course, former champion

:40:05. > :40:09.went. It was coming in sideways with rain at that point as well so it was

:40:10. > :40:14.horrid, certainly not pleasant. The most open of opens for many a year.

:40:15. > :40:20.How do we start trying to choose a winner? I don't think you do. Are

:40:21. > :40:25.just as we see it already a one-hour interplay and, the forecasts of this

:40:26. > :40:30.afternoon is significantly better, brighter and the wind drops is a

:40:31. > :40:33.fraction. Plays in the afternoon may have a shot advantage over the

:40:34. > :40:38.players who played early. Will be fascinating. It there are so many

:40:39. > :40:41.world-class players. I was out on the town yesterday and so many

:40:42. > :40:47.people wanted to talk about their man, Tommy Fleetwood. He has a

:40:48. > :40:53.chance given his recent form. No question. He has a chance. He hits

:40:54. > :40:58.the ball low and street and this is a straight hitters golf courses over

:40:59. > :41:02.there was one. He has so much pressure on his shoulders, all of

:41:03. > :41:10.the petrol stations and houses are saying go, Tommy! He is carrying a

:41:11. > :41:17.lot of local support. How he handles it will show us what sort of Astarte

:41:18. > :41:21.gets off to. Will this course favourite Justin rose's game? No, he

:41:22. > :41:27.has never won, he has never done well in the open. Is a fantastic

:41:28. > :41:31.player and one of my pics. It depends on the weather. Of the wind

:41:32. > :41:37.blows harder than this than maybe it doesn't. I think it will have clubs

:41:38. > :41:40.in the bag that will knock the ball down well and keep it out of the

:41:41. > :41:48.wind. That is an exciting prospect. Who are your pics? One word. Garcia.

:41:49. > :41:53.Back-to-back majors. Fingers crossed. We will let you go because

:41:54. > :42:00.you need to go followed Ian Poulter. You can follow and you're in the

:42:01. > :42:06.team on 5 Live tonight from eight o'clock to ten o'clock. I quite like

:42:07. > :42:12.whispering. Got excited because Nick Faldo worked past. I was so excited

:42:13. > :42:17.that I shouted out and then got told off for raising my voice. I quite

:42:18. > :42:23.like this whispering. So atmospheric thank you very much and stay warm

:42:24. > :42:27.and dry. The time now is 742. The story that is dominating the front

:42:28. > :42:31.pages and many people discussing it, the pay period the BBC. Some of the

:42:32. > :42:34.highs but aid presenters and actors including some who work on this

:42:35. > :42:39.programme have had their salaries published. This is the first time

:42:40. > :42:43.that the pay of staff who earn over ?150,000 a year has been made

:42:44. > :42:47.public. The BBC has admitted it needs to address the gap between men

:42:48. > :42:51.and women. We can talk now to the former controller of BBC One, who

:42:52. > :42:58.joins us from outside the headquarters in London. Thank you

:42:59. > :43:01.for joining us. Are just want to make clear a couple of things. You

:43:02. > :43:05.have a production company called expectation. BBC worldwide is an

:43:06. > :43:08.investor in that company. We want to make clear the angle you are coming

:43:09. > :43:12.from. Also you are the former controller of BBC One. Tell me, when

:43:13. > :43:15.you are controller of BBC One you must have looked at the salaries and

:43:16. > :43:19.the discrepancies between men and women. When was that, ten years ago?

:43:20. > :43:28.Would you expect that to be different now? 12 years ago it was a

:43:29. > :43:34.very different climate, in particular in relation to how the

:43:35. > :43:41.BBC behaved vis-a-vis its commercial rivals. It was a competitive BBC,

:43:42. > :43:45.much less consciousness of the fact that BBC, in a sense, was answerable

:43:46. > :43:51.to the licence payer because it was public money. Yesterday, Vista has

:43:52. > :43:55.been a long time coming, and represents the inevitable victory of

:43:56. > :44:03.transparency over confidentiality. When public money is involved. And,

:44:04. > :44:07.although, obviously a difficult and in some way slightly embarrassing

:44:08. > :44:11.days of the BBC yesterday, I think good will come of it. I think now it

:44:12. > :44:15.is as if finally the lights have been switched on, rather

:44:16. > :44:21.reluctantly, and once they have been switched on, things like gender

:44:22. > :44:28.inequality, some of the extreme differentials in talent paid, will

:44:29. > :44:32.start to be corrected. I don't believe, as I have heard said

:44:33. > :44:35.elsewhere, that the inevitable result of this is inflationary. I

:44:36. > :44:40.think the opposite would be the case. I think that restraint will

:44:41. > :44:45.follow from disclosure and pay may come down. That would bring pay down

:44:46. > :44:51.across the sector because why would commercial rivals overbid for talent

:44:52. > :45:00.if the BBC are limiting or reducing talent payment. I think it has been

:45:01. > :45:04.a difficult episode for the BBC. It is like years or so they have had a

:45:05. > :45:09.tooth ache that would not go away. The good thing is that the tooth has

:45:10. > :45:14.now come out. Things can now start to get better. Quickly will change?

:45:15. > :45:18.You have been inside the BBC, you know how this huge machine works.

:45:19. > :45:23.How quickly will this change if the answer is to curtail or cut pay of

:45:24. > :45:32.those men who are earning more? It is a very good question and there

:45:33. > :45:36.is no simple answer. What you are looking at is a complicated

:45:37. > :45:41.patchwork of individual contracts and negotiations, all negotiated by

:45:42. > :45:46.different agents, some with different views as to whether talent

:45:47. > :45:52.should approach working for the BBC as something you take a natural

:45:53. > :45:57.discount for. I think over the next years, all these contracts will come

:45:58. > :46:01.up for renewal and the private will have changed even further as a

:46:02. > :46:06.result of yesterday. The director-general said he wanted to

:46:07. > :46:12.achieve gender equality by 2020. Some people say that is not fast

:46:13. > :46:17.enough. That is three years away. It feels like a realistic timescale to

:46:18. > :46:22.me. I would not doubt for a minute the BBC's intentions to get this

:46:23. > :46:27.right, having, if you like, suffered the embarrassment of somebody

:46:28. > :46:34.shining a brighter light on it. People are struck by the sheer size

:46:35. > :46:38.of payments made to staff and the obvious gender inequality, which is

:46:39. > :46:43.not defendable. The right thing to do is to get on and correct it. I

:46:44. > :46:48.think that will happen. Tell us how this works. You have mentioned the

:46:49. > :46:54.agents and the bargaining that agents do. Surely it is the BBC

:46:55. > :47:01.which should say, we want a presenter, our programme is worth

:47:02. > :47:08.this much. Are you telling me that the agents have more control and

:47:09. > :47:14.influence to push up salaries? Agents can be very powerful. On the

:47:15. > :47:18.other hand, the BBC is an extraordinarily attractive and

:47:19. > :47:24.powerful platform. People come to the BBC in whatever role they may

:47:25. > :47:28.want to work in, not just for the money. That is right, because it is

:47:29. > :47:33.a very unique organisation, publicly funded and orange. The BBC has so

:47:34. > :47:43.many networks and services, it is not just a -- an organisation that

:47:44. > :47:46.reacts to the market. It makes the market. Having been obliged to

:47:47. > :47:55.disclose what they pay people, this will strengthen the BBC's hand in

:47:56. > :47:59.negotiations with agents. Us getting out the cheque-book and overpaying

:48:00. > :48:03.new is bad for us, they could say. It is also bad for you, which we saw

:48:04. > :48:09.yesterday with some of the embarrassment suffered by BBC staff

:48:10. > :48:16.who have been challenged. Although it is awkward and difficult, setting

:48:17. > :48:22.talent to pay is not like setting grades in the civil service where it

:48:23. > :48:27.is all predetermined. There is, in a sense, no question about it. It is

:48:28. > :48:32.far more fluid than that. I think the inevitable arrival of

:48:33. > :48:37.transparency will lead to restraint, and will lead to making it easier

:48:38. > :48:42.for the BBC to address issues like gender inequality and some of the

:48:43. > :48:50.other oddities that emerged after the publication yesterday. What is a

:48:51. > :48:54.restrained pay packet? What is less than ?2 million per year? This is

:48:55. > :48:59.what is unclear, and what many people will find unclear. Why is it

:49:00. > :49:04.not easy to say that ?2 million per year is too much? Or that ?450,000

:49:05. > :49:11.per year is too much? These salaries don't relate to everyday people's

:49:12. > :49:16.jobs, to the Prime Minister's job. There is a huge range of people

:49:17. > :49:21.playing different roles, journalistic roles, entertainment

:49:22. > :49:26.roles. In a world of entertainment, entertainers who are greatly loved

:49:27. > :49:37.by the public, where there are other places for them to go, living in a

:49:38. > :49:43.world where there is Netflix and Amazon, there are all sorts of

:49:44. > :49:48.platforms for entertainers and media personality to take their

:49:49. > :49:56.entertainment, the BBC it was that at its peril. That has been the case

:49:57. > :50:00.since, going back 60 years to when the BBC was created. They had to

:50:01. > :50:04.decide whether they competed, or whether because they are publicly

:50:05. > :50:09.funded, they decided to do something else. I am sure that the public are

:50:10. > :50:16.glad that the BBC said, we compete. We have shows like Strictly Com

:50:17. > :50:24.Dancing. They must continue to do that. There is now transparency,

:50:25. > :50:28.which in some ways makes it better. It strengthens their hand, and it

:50:29. > :50:35.should not stop the BBC from saying, we want to play that game. The

:50:36. > :50:38.licence payer would not thank the BBC if they had styles they did not

:50:39. > :50:43.want to see or second-rate presenters. It is difficult when you

:50:44. > :50:53.put it in the context of what people in the public sector want, and that

:50:54. > :50:59.plays to the uniqueness of the BBC, publicly owned and funded by

:51:00. > :51:04.operating in a nakedly commercial domain and where other companies

:51:05. > :51:06.will put their hands into their pockets to pay people more if you

:51:07. > :51:09.don't pay it. Here's Matt with a look

:51:10. > :51:26.at this morning's weather. We saw Mike losing his umbrella,

:51:27. > :51:30.conditions improving for the golfers. The area set to get much

:51:31. > :51:38.fresher after the and humid air of late. 18 degrees towards east Anglia

:51:39. > :51:42.and the south-east. Northern island, just eight degrees. With it,

:51:43. > :51:48.sunshine, chasing away the morning cloud. Outbreaks of rain across good

:51:49. > :51:52.parts of England and Scotland. A drop of thunder, rain lingering

:51:53. > :51:57.across parts of north-east Scotland in the afternoon, parts of

:51:58. > :52:05.Sutherland, Orkney and Shetland. Elsewhere, sonny. One or two

:52:06. > :52:09.isolated showers. Wattel two may spoil the air now and again, but

:52:10. > :52:13.mostly brightening up across England. Taking until mid-afternoon

:52:14. > :52:18.to lose some rain from the north-east. Light showers in Wales

:52:19. > :52:25.and the south-west, most areas dry. Temperatures mid- high 20s, hiking

:52:26. > :52:29.the best for many. Could hit 24 across parts of the south-east and

:52:30. > :52:32.east Anglia. The day finishing mainly dry, rain continuing in

:52:33. > :52:38.northern Scotland. Through the night, south-west England and Wales

:52:39. > :52:41.will see some splashes of rain. Something sinister lurking in

:52:42. > :52:46.Ireland to take us into Friday morning. Friday starting reasonably

:52:47. > :52:52.mild, cool across northern Scotland. Low pressure arising for the run-up

:52:53. > :52:58.to the weekend. That will produce some wet windy weather. Turning

:52:59. > :53:02.increasingly wet and windy through Wales and south-west England.

:53:03. > :53:08.Persistent wind. Could touch gale force in the Irish Sea. Breeze

:53:09. > :53:12.picking up in Scotland and England, but most will have a dry day.

:53:13. > :53:18.Temperatures a bit up on what we have seen today. We have seen rain

:53:19. > :53:25.and move across slowly from Friday to Saturday, rather cloudy and damp

:53:26. > :53:30.on Saturday in central and southern Scotland. Elsewhere, sunshine and

:53:31. > :53:36.showers. Not heavy showers expected, some will avoid that altogether. It

:53:37. > :53:40.may be towards the end of July, but temperatures may be disappointing on

:53:41. > :53:45.what you can expect. Wet and windy across eastern Scotland on Sunday, a

:53:46. > :53:50.bit of uncertainty around the English Channel. Sunshine and hit

:53:51. > :53:53.and miss showers, temperatures lower than they should be at this time of

:53:54. > :53:53.year. Things will The summer holidays are nearly here,

:53:54. > :54:05.which might be music to the ears of kids, but maybe not

:54:06. > :54:07.for working parents. Sean's looking at the cost

:54:08. > :54:10.of childcare this morning and he's at a children's club

:54:11. > :54:28.in Greater Manchester. How do you juggle childcare, how do

:54:29. > :54:33.you work out your timetables? We are in a holiday breakfast club in

:54:34. > :54:38.Manchester. Good morning, everybody! They are just tucking into

:54:39. > :54:44.breakfast. Cost by going up, that is what we have in hearing this

:54:45. > :54:49.morning. 4% on average for childcare costs. Some places, more than 10%.

:54:50. > :54:52.Parents have to decide where they are taking their kids over the

:54:53. > :55:03.holidays. Where are you off to? I'm going to go to London, becoming here

:55:04. > :55:08.a couple of days before we go. So you still come here in the summer

:55:09. > :55:12.holidays. Some parents would like to be able to put these kids here for

:55:17. > :55:23.summer where to put your kids, how difficult is it? Is quite difficult,

:55:24. > :55:29.but we are lucky because my daughter comes here everyday. They have the

:55:30. > :55:32.holiday club, it just love for longer. She will be here for the

:55:33. > :55:36.first two weeks of holidays, then I'll be off for two weeks and so

:55:37. > :55:45.will my wife. Have you noticed cost is going up? A little bit, but we

:55:46. > :55:54.are happy with what they do here. The main reason also is that my

:55:55. > :56:00.child's best friend is here, so I like her to have someone to play

:56:01. > :56:08.with. OK, is it there, enjoy your toast. Good morning, you've got a

:56:09. > :56:11.chair. You are from the family and child care trust. The government

:56:23. > :56:26.which is welcome, but the focus has been on younger children. Parents

:56:27. > :56:33.really struggle with school-aged Jordan, especially on the school

:56:34. > :56:45.holidays when costs go up and it can throw out budgets -- school-aged

:56:46. > :56:48.children. What we want to see is every parents being able to get the

:56:49. > :56:52.childcare they need. We don't want being forced into staying out of

:56:53. > :56:58.work or having to reduce their hours. Is it affordable? It is, it

:56:59. > :57:02.is a good investment. It lets parents go to work, contribute to

:57:03. > :57:07.the economy and help raise happy children. Thank you, I am going to

:57:08. > :57:12.sit back on my chair. We will be talking to more kids undoubtably

:57:13. > :57:15.this morning. And we'll be trying to figure out if there is anything that

:03:01. > :03:02.of their brain better throughout their lives,

:03:03. > :03:03.according to new research. An international study

:03:06. > :03:07.including lack of education, hearing loss, smoking

:03:08. > :03:09.and social isolation. Here's our medical

:03:10. > :03:14.correspondent, Fergus Walsh. Now there is another

:03:15. > :03:16.reason to stay active. Keeping fit can reduce your risk

:03:17. > :03:18.of getting dementia as well as protect against heart

:03:19. > :03:20.disease and cancer. Keeping the mind active throughout

:03:21. > :03:26.life builds what the study calls cognitive reserve, strengthening

:03:27. > :03:28.the brain so that it can function in later

:03:29. > :03:35.life despite damage. The main risk for

:03:36. > :03:37.dementia is old-age. But the Lancet study says that 35%

:03:38. > :03:40.of all cases could potentially be prevented if nine other

:03:41. > :03:42.factors were addressed. They are - lack of education,

:03:43. > :03:44.hearing loss, smoking, depression, social

:03:45. > :03:45.isolation, physical inactivity, high blood pressure,

:03:46. > :04:08.obesity and diabetes. Social isolation is not good for you

:06:21. > :06:24.the meeting was abruptly closed Until then, there is clearly

:06:25. > :06:38.a lot of work to be done. We will be speaking to the deputy

:06:39. > :06:41.leader of Kensington and Chelsea The BBC's been giving more detail

:06:42. > :06:45.about how it plans to deal with the difference in pay

:06:46. > :06:47.between men and women, after it named the stars who earn

:06:48. > :06:50.more than ?150,000 a year. Two-thirds of those

:06:51. > :06:52.listed were male. The corporation defended the high

:06:53. > :06:56.salaries, which were revealed yesterday in its annual report,

:06:57. > :06:59.but has been urged to close the pay gap earlier

:07:00. > :07:01.than its current target of 2020. BBC executive James Purnell said pay

:07:02. > :07:10.cuts were part of the solution. Quite a lot of men have been

:07:11. > :07:13.taking pay cuts already. Will you expect more on air

:07:14. > :07:20.talent to take a pay cut? I will not negotiate on air

:07:21. > :07:24.but that is one of the levers we can We'll find out later

:07:25. > :07:28.today whether the UK and the European Union are any

:07:29. > :07:30.closer to a Brexit deal. The Brexit Secretary David Davis

:07:31. > :07:32.and the EU's negotiator Michel Barnier will outline

:07:33. > :07:35.the progress of their talks so far. Our Europe correspondent,

:07:36. > :07:49.Gavin Lee is outside When are we pecking some kind of

:07:50. > :07:53.announcement and what stages are we expected to be hearing about? David

:07:54. > :07:58.Davis will come back here, early afternoon, that is when we expect he

:07:59. > :08:01.will have another hour catch up with Michel Barnier, so both chief

:08:02. > :08:05.negotiators together. David Davis was in Brussels behind me for three

:08:06. > :08:10.hours, then he left. He said let us get to work and he left in the hands

:08:11. > :08:14.of 98 British negotiators who came to the seventh floor of this

:08:15. > :08:19.billing. You can see there is a British flag and a European Union

:08:20. > :08:22.flag side by side, what we are told so far pretty little in terms of

:08:23. > :08:25.leaked information. We know the obvious things that the European

:08:26. > :08:28.Union have said these three issues they will not move on to other

:08:29. > :08:33.subjected until they are satisfied they are the citizen's rights issue,

:08:34. > :08:37.the Brexit bill, how much Britain has to pay and whether there will be

:08:38. > :08:41.a hard board we are southern and Northern Ireland. We have a degree

:08:42. > :08:49.of coming to together on citizens right. Will be the the European

:08:50. > :08:53.Court of Justice arbitrating. Given what we saw on Monday, when we had

:08:54. > :08:56.that picture, didn't we of the European Union side with all of the

:08:57. > :09:00.paperwork in front of them. David Davis with very little. So there

:09:01. > :09:04.will be some media management going on, by 2.00 we expect the joint

:09:05. > :09:06.press conference with David Davis and Michel Barnier.

:09:07. > :09:09.Thank you very much Gavin. The Liberal Democrat MP,

:09:10. > :09:11.Sir Vince Cable, is expected to become the new leader

:09:14. > :09:16.is the only person to put himself forward for the role,

:09:17. > :09:18.following the decision Our political correspondent

:09:19. > :09:28.Chris Mason is in Westminster - So, this is the very definition,

:09:29. > :09:32.Chris of a one horse race. It is. Unless there is a last minute

:09:33. > :09:37.cavalry charge of those with previously well hidden ambition for

:09:38. > :09:40.power, or at least leadership of the Liberal Democrats, then Vince Cable

:09:41. > :09:45.is the only name on the ticket. The only horse in the race, and so

:09:46. > :09:48.shortly after four o'clock this afternoon will be confirmed as

:09:49. > :09:52.Liberal Democrat leader. One of those rare moments in contemporary

:09:53. > :09:55.politics where we can make a reasonable prediction and have

:09:56. > :10:00.expectation of it turning out to be right. The big challenge, then, for

:10:01. > :10:04.Vince Cable will then to be able to command attention, that is always

:10:05. > :10:10.the big challenge for a small party, he comes with the big advantage that

:10:11. > :10:13.as politicians go he is relatively goedge, as Liberal Democrat

:10:14. > :10:17.politicians go it is rare to find somebody who is relatively

:10:18. > :10:20.well-known, so that is the big advantage but we that -- with that

:10:21. > :10:23.comes the disadvantage, the baggage of his time in Government as

:10:24. > :10:28.Business Secretary, sits round the Cabinet table. We know many people

:10:29. > :10:30.saw that as baggage because we saw the big reverse if you like, the

:10:31. > :10:35.Liberal Democrats suffered at the general election a couple of years

:10:36. > :10:39.ago. So that the big challenge for him, he will try and stake claim too

:12:19. > :12:20.you didn't know, because there were strict rules in place

:12:21. > :12:24.Kay Mason changed all that, and this summer she's marking

:12:25. > :12:26.a decade since she decided to donate her kidney

:12:27. > :12:30.We can talk to Kay this morning from her home in Hertfordshire,

:12:31. > :12:33.and we're joined in the studio by Jan Shorrock, from the charity

:12:34. > :12:40.Give a Kidney which works to raise awareness of donation.

:12:41. > :12:48.Good morning to you both. Kay, if we could start with you and what, is

:12:49. > :12:57.what is a special anniversary today, remind people a bit of what you did,

:12:58. > :13:03.ten years ago. Well, my story really started several years before that,

:13:04. > :13:07.when I in 2001, decided it would be something I would like to do, and

:13:08. > :13:12.approached, actually the Secretary of State first of all and was

:13:13. > :13:16.referred to the Department of Health, and offered to donate a

:13:17. > :13:22.kidney to a stranger, but came up against a brick wall, because they

:13:23. > :13:24.were so anxious about scandals that had happened previously and that I

:13:25. > :13:29.couldn't understand why anybody would want to give a kidney to a

:13:30. > :13:35.stranger and decided on the grounds that it wouldn't benefit me, that a

:13:36. > :13:39.doctor wouldn't be prepared to operate on me, and it really

:13:40. > :13:44.resisted it, and several years went by before I was able to actually do

:13:45. > :13:48.it. How did you feel once you finally were able to do it? I don't

:13:49. > :13:56.mean physically, what did it mean do you? You have nerve met the person

:13:57. > :14:01.who has benefitted. -- nerve. I hadn't, but that actually, you get,

:14:02. > :14:06.a great freedom with that, because it means you have no responsibility

:14:07. > :14:12.for their continuing health, and they don't have to feel responsible

:14:13. > :14:18.for having had your kidney, and, you know, it's, it's done and dusted,

:14:19. > :14:24.and, you feel very satisfied having done I And Jan is here with us in

:14:25. > :14:29.the studio, grow the charity Give a Kidney I will say something obvious,

:14:30. > :14:34.but the two of you, Kay and yourself, can state the obvious, you

:14:35. > :14:39.look great and you have both donated kidneys. I know this is established

:14:40. > :14:44.by now, but I think there will be people still thinking, that is how

:14:45. > :14:48.it affects your health. Yet here you both are having done the most

:14:49. > :14:53.extraordinary thing. Meems who have donated would not agree it is very

:14:54. > :14:56.extraordinary. It seems, it's a very rational practical response to

:14:57. > :15:04.people suffering, that we can do something and we chose to.

:15:05. > :15:12.You can live a perfectly, normal life with one kidney. The effects

:15:13. > :15:17.are minimal, there are risks, of course, with surgery but the risks

:15:18. > :15:21.are very low and the possible impact for the recipients, it is life

:15:22. > :15:26.changing and can certainly save their life. I think a lot of people

:15:27. > :15:33.will battle with this, you ask anyone, would you give a kidney to a

:15:34. > :15:36.loved one? Yes. There are thousands of people on the transplant list

:15:37. > :15:44.waiting at the moment and no one once that situation. As you said,

:15:45. > :15:49.the risks are minimal, but they are there. We have two kidneys for a

:15:50. > :15:55.reason. I don't know how old you are, I know K was in her 60s when

:15:56. > :15:58.she donated her kidney. But if you are younger, want to start a family

:15:59. > :16:06.and want to make sure you will be there for your family, can you

:16:07. > :16:12.understand why people would fear giving up one of their organs? It is

:16:13. > :16:18.not for everybody, that is clear. People generally add a thing, it is

:16:19. > :16:22.something I can do, or, it's something I cannot do. Lots of

:16:23. > :16:27.people would consider donating to a friend or family member. Research

:16:28. > :16:31.tells us a significant proportion of the population, around ten or 11%

:16:32. > :16:40.say they would consider donating to a stranger. The fact it is not our

:16:41. > :16:47.family member, doesn't matter so much. Every one of those 5500 people

:16:48. > :16:52.on the transplant list is somebody's family. What did your family said to

:16:53. > :16:59.you, K where they supportive or where they cautious? They were

:17:00. > :17:04.cautious. They were cautious, but not to the extent that I thought I

:17:05. > :17:12.couldn't go ahead and do it. They were pretty used to me doing my own

:17:13. > :17:17.thing. Can I just ask you, you gave an indication about your thinking

:17:18. > :17:21.around this, but you don't know the person who received your kidney, it

:17:22. > :17:28.is an area you are happy with. You have your reasons. More people are

:17:29. > :17:32.more familiar with other forms of the nation where there is more

:17:33. > :17:38.contact and you can have an ongoing relationship of some sort, how do

:17:39. > :17:43.you rationalise that one? When you donate blood, you don't know who it

:17:44. > :17:47.goes to. I just don't have that need. Obviously, if you know the

:17:48. > :17:53.person then you are going to wonder about them and talk to them and

:17:54. > :17:57.check how they are. But you know from the beginning it is going to a

:17:58. > :18:02.stranger and you know it is going to somebody who most need it and that

:18:03. > :18:09.it's going to somebody who you are well matched with. I was a perfect

:18:10. > :18:14.match with... Might issue was a perfect match with my recipient

:18:15. > :18:18.which meant she had the best chance of a successful survival. Whereas,

:18:19. > :18:24.sometimes when you give to a friend or family member, it's not such a

:18:25. > :18:29.good match. Jan, what happens when you have donated a kidney, what

:18:30. > :18:34.happens to the other one and in terms of how it fulfils the bodily

:18:35. > :18:40.functions? People can live a normal healthy life with one kidney. The

:18:41. > :18:44.remaining kidney expands its capacity slightly to compensate for

:18:45. > :18:52.the loss of the other one so the body reacts positively. It doesn't

:18:53. > :18:55.get back to full capacity but every Derry goes through a thorough health

:18:56. > :19:04.assessment before they are accepted as a donor. They make sure your

:19:05. > :19:10.kidneys are functioning and are healthy, you don't have any risk of

:19:11. > :19:14.any other disease so you go into it knowing your kidneys are functioning

:19:15. > :19:18.very well and are very healthy. If someone is watching this and they

:19:19. > :19:25.are inspired by your story, what would you say to someone who is

:19:26. > :19:29.thinking about it? I would say, think long and hard and if it is

:19:30. > :19:35.what you want to do, go ahead and do it. With the proviso that sometimes

:19:36. > :19:40.people are found not to be suitable, which I guess can be disappointing.

:19:41. > :19:47.But equally, if some disease is found that can be treated, then that

:19:48. > :19:51.is a plus as well. And certainly, we are deemed to live long and healthy

:19:52. > :19:56.lives, people who have given a kidney because we have been so well

:19:57. > :20:01.scrutinised in advance. Kay, thank you so much for your time.

:20:02. > :20:08.Here's that with a look at this morning's weather.

:20:09. > :20:15.We are getting a period of rain after scorching sunshine.

:20:16. > :20:20.We certainly are, but it was the heat that cause the downpours.

:20:21. > :20:23.Yesterday, North Wales and north-west England and Northern

:20:24. > :20:30.Ireland saw the worst of the downpours. But the humid air is on

:20:31. > :20:33.the way out. 19 degrees in the south-east. 10 degrees cooler in

:20:34. > :20:37.much of Northern Ireland are present. It is the fresh air that

:20:38. > :20:42.will win out through today. Lots of sunshine and the showers we have

:20:43. > :20:47.across Scotland and central England at the moment, and we cannot rule

:20:48. > :20:54.out the odd rumble of thunder. Most of those will ease into the North

:20:55. > :20:58.Sea. Will linger into Caithness and Shetland into the afternoon but the

:20:59. > :21:03.rest of Scotland brightening up. Sunshine in Northern Ireland but one

:21:04. > :21:08.or two showers in the second half of the day. Not desperately heavy, just

:21:09. > :21:13.the odd rumble of thunder possible. Skies will brighten in the east and

:21:14. > :21:17.coastal counties. Rest of England and Wales, other than the odd

:21:18. > :21:21.isolated shower, most of England and the south-west will be dry. Pleasant

:21:22. > :21:31.in the sunshine. Temperatures 23, 20 4 degrees. Into the night, the rain

:21:32. > :21:40.across northern Scotland will bring link -- linger. Temperatures not too

:21:41. > :21:44.low, clueless condition, single figures in rural parts of Scotland.

:21:45. > :21:48.But this is the chart you don't want to see if you are starting a summer

:21:49. > :21:52.break. It is set to bring wet and windy weather to start Friday across

:21:53. > :21:56.Northern Ireland. Wales and south-west England, bursts of heavy

:21:57. > :21:59.rain developing. Strong to gale force winds into the Irish see in

:22:00. > :22:02.the world is part of Northern Ireland. The breeze picks up to

:22:03. > :22:06.Scotland on the rest of England away from the West, but most should stay

:22:07. > :22:13.dry and in the sunshine temperatures may get above the rain band through

:22:14. > :22:17.Friday night it pushes across England and Wales. Grinding to a

:22:18. > :22:23.halt across parts of central and southern Scotland. Elsewhere,

:22:24. > :22:28.sunshine and showers the name of the game too much of England and

:22:29. > :22:33.Scotland. When the showers come through the late July, it will be on

:22:34. > :22:39.the poolside. Temperatures struggling to get above the high

:22:40. > :22:42.teens. On Sunday, wettest across eastern parts of Scotland. We could

:22:43. > :22:52.see some rain moving in through the nicht channel. Temperatures not

:22:53. > :22:55.particularly high. If you are heading to the Mediterranean, you

:22:56. > :23:00.are guaranteed sunshine. Temperatures in the low to mid 30s.

:23:01. > :23:07.Just across France there is the risk of showers and thunderstorms.

:23:08. > :23:14.Sometimes on Breakfast, we show you people who have achieved

:23:15. > :23:17.Dad of two Jason Liversidge is definitely one of them.

:23:18. > :23:20.We've been following Jason on Breakfast for some time.

:23:21. > :23:24.He has motor neuron disease, and needs 24-hour care.

:23:25. > :23:27.Earlier this week Jason attempted to reach the top of Mount Snowdon

:23:28. > :23:35.The top of Snowdon is 3,500 feet above sea level.

:23:36. > :23:48.Jason Liversedge is attempting it in a wheelchair.

:23:49. > :23:52.One of those ideas that seemed like a good idea at the time.

:23:53. > :23:57.The further we get the more excited I get to get to the top.

:23:58. > :24:03.He is here with his wife Liz and a team of helpers.

:24:04. > :24:10.They will use ramps and muscle and willpower.

:24:11. > :24:14.Jason is determined and very tenacious.

:24:15. > :24:22.I will be right behind him and want him to keep

:24:23. > :24:26.The illness has slowly taken Jason's ability to walk and talk,

:24:27. > :24:37.Not brilliant, but on the other hand...

:24:38. > :24:46.It has probably been the best time of my life.

:24:47. > :24:52.Jason was diagnosed three and a half years ago.

:24:53. > :24:56.He has gone from being fit and active to needing 24-hour care.

:24:57. > :25:00.Jason and Liz have two daughters, Lily and Poppy.

:25:01. > :25:05.He has two little girls who are four and five.

:25:06. > :25:08.You know, Jason would love to see them grow up.

:25:09. > :25:10.It's probably not realistic, but he wants to spend every day

:25:11. > :25:14.More than four hours into the climb, this has become

:25:15. > :25:19.An inch-by-inch push and pull struggle of wills.

:25:20. > :25:21.Jason is climbing partly to raise money for two charities,

:25:22. > :25:24.Marie Curie and Dove House Hospice, but also to create memories

:25:25. > :25:32.His speech is already deteriorating and he will eventually rely

:25:33. > :25:36.a synthesised computer-generated voice.

:25:37. > :25:39.But to make sure his children still recognise him,

:25:40. > :25:42.he recorded hundreds of his own words,

:25:43. > :25:47.so his computerised voice will sound like him.

:25:48. > :25:52.This is the first time I have heard my new voice.

:25:53. > :25:59.Back on the mountain, the batteries are starting to run

:26:00. > :26:07.But finally, after more than eight hours, they have done it.

:26:08. > :26:12.What an achievement, to get to the top.

:26:13. > :26:15.You know, it's an achievement for all of us, and we're

:26:16. > :26:16.perfectly able-bodied, but for Jason, it's

:26:17. > :26:34.Jason's next challenge, he plans to abseil from the Humber Bridge.

:26:35. > :26:51.But this is a moment to stop and take in the awesome beauty.

:26:52. > :26:54.That's an extraordinary achievement - Jason has so far managed to raise

:26:55. > :30:17.just over ?3,000 for charity. will stop you are more likely to see

:30:18. > :30:25.So that's it from us for now - we'll be back in half an hour.

:30:26. > :30:27.There's more on our website at the usual address.

:30:28. > :30:33.Now, though, it's back to Charlie and Naga.

:30:34. > :30:35.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Naga Munchetty

:30:36. > :30:40.One in three cases of dementia could be prevented if people looked

:30:41. > :30:42.after their brain health better throughout their lives,

:30:43. > :30:45.An international study published in the Lancet lists

:30:46. > :30:47.nine key risk factors - including lack of education, hearing

:30:48. > :30:59.Social isolation is not good for your rain, and actually trying to

:31:00. > :31:04.maintain social networks, keep your brain active, whether that is doing

:31:05. > :31:07.a crossword puzzle, learning to dance, or higher education later in

:31:08. > :31:10.life, it doesn't I think particularly matter, it is about

:31:11. > :31:12.keeping your brain active and healthy.

:31:13. > :31:15.The new leader of Kensington and Chelsea council has been heckled

:31:16. > :31:16.by furious residents of Grenfell Tower

:31:17. > :31:19.at the authority's first full meeting since the fire.

:31:20. > :31:22.Elizabeth Campbell was told to resign as she admitted

:31:23. > :31:25.that the council needed to change fundamentally if it was to regain

:31:26. > :31:28.At least 80 people were killed in the fire.

:31:29. > :31:31.Let's speak to Kim Taylor Smith, who was appointed deputy leader

:31:32. > :31:43.It is worth saying that we did seek to speak to the leader of Kensington

:31:44. > :31:46.and Chelsea Council, Elizabeth Campbell, but she did not want to

:31:47. > :31:52.appear on the programme. Can you account for that in any way? She has

:31:53. > :31:57.had a very gruelling month, and I offered after last night, which was

:31:58. > :32:03.a very long and highly charged council meeting, I offered myself up

:32:04. > :32:07.to enter the Twilight zone. Can you just go through some basic facts for

:32:08. > :32:13.us in connection with those people who sought the help of the council

:32:14. > :32:16.or those who have not been rehoused, can you go through the statistics

:32:17. > :32:23.about how many people caught up or affected by the fire have been

:32:24. > :32:27.rehoused successfully? There are 151 households that are from the

:32:28. > :32:31.Grenfell Tower and the immediate walkway that are currently in Hotel

:32:32. > :32:36.accommodation and temporary accommodation. We have made 300

:32:37. > :32:40.offers of accommodation and have had 70 acceptances, which reflects the

:32:41. > :32:43.pace of this, this is something obviously that has to go at the pace

:32:44. > :32:53.of the individual, not the pace of the council. That is happening, many

:32:54. > :32:55.people finding additional accommodation in North Kensington,

:32:56. > :32:59.we are a very small borough and highly populated so it is a

:33:00. > :33:04.challenge. Last night we announced the acquisition of another 31 units

:33:05. > :33:10.on top of the 68 that we have already, so that is 99 units, and we

:33:11. > :33:15.have commissioned people to look locally to buy individual units that

:33:16. > :33:18.become available as far as housing stock is concerned. 17 have

:33:19. > :33:22.accepted, of all those who needed help, the assumption would have to

:33:23. > :33:28.be that the offer is being made to them are inappropriate? I don't have

:33:29. > :33:32.the detail all the individual reasons, but as I say these are, it

:33:33. > :33:35.is very difficult when you are somebody who is traumatised, living

:33:36. > :33:40.in a hotel, to find the right accommodation. Some people obviously

:33:41. > :33:43.want to be back in the borough in the local area in terms of North

:33:44. > :33:46.Kensington, some people understandably don't want to be

:33:47. > :33:51.anywhere near North Kensington at all and we have two obviously

:33:52. > :33:57.respond to that. It is not a numbers game, we are dealing with the

:33:58. > :34:02.priority people first, and it is important we get this done as

:34:03. > :34:05.quickly as possible. In terms of the facts, can you clarify for us, the

:34:06. > :34:10.Government set up a task force, didn't they come back on the 5th of

:34:11. > :34:14.July which was linked to the housing department and certain other

:34:15. > :34:17.operations within the Council. What has been handled by the council now

:34:18. > :34:21.and what is being handled by the task force that was brought in from

:34:22. > :34:30.outside? Effectively they are one. The new leader called in the support

:34:31. > :34:33.the task force and others are united and if you go out you will find

:34:34. > :34:37.Kensington and Chelsea people working alongside people from other

:34:38. > :34:46.bloggers. Clearly the scale of this for us as a borough, we have 16 care

:34:47. > :34:50.workers, we have 100 children in care within the borough, and we have

:34:51. > :34:54.got double that in hotels at the moment, so it is clearly not

:34:55. > :34:58.something we can do on our own, we have to have assistance. At what

:34:59. > :35:01.point do you have to accept, you are now the deputy leader, given what we

:35:02. > :35:06.saw last night in the council chamber, though the level of

:35:07. > :35:10.mistrust in you and the rest of the Council, at what point do you have

:35:11. > :35:15.to accept that it isn't possible for you to carry on doing the work that

:35:16. > :35:22.is required because of the lack of trust? Again, the lack of trust is

:35:23. > :35:26.something I completely understand why there is that lack of trust.

:35:27. > :35:32.Personally I have stepped up to the plate because I think the best

:35:33. > :35:34.memorial for the people of North Kensington is to provide

:35:35. > :35:38.accommodation... With respect, what makes you the right person to do

:35:39. > :35:43.that, because you are part of the old council? I am a new councillor,

:35:44. > :35:51.I came in on a by-election, but there is a council election in May

:35:52. > :35:54.2018 and people can ignore the words but I hope they will look at the

:35:55. > :36:00.action, and if there is no action then clearly they can vote... Voting

:36:01. > :36:04.is one thing but there is a purely practical situation here, you say,

:36:05. > :36:08.you make the point personally you think you have to step up to the

:36:09. > :36:12.plate, one of those phrases people use and people will understand what

:36:13. > :36:16.they wish from that, but there comes a point where, if people don't trust

:36:17. > :36:19.you and the council leader and other members of the council, if they

:36:20. > :36:22.don't, regardless of what you think and whether you think you are doing

:36:23. > :36:31.the right thing, it becomes a nonsense, they don't trust you. Why

:36:32. > :36:34.don't you just step aside and let them have confidence in someone

:36:35. > :36:38.else? Because that is the only thing that matters. Absolutely right, I

:36:39. > :36:41.believe there is a job to be done... But they don't trust you, you keep

:36:42. > :36:45.saying the same thing, there is work to be done, we are stepping up to

:36:46. > :36:51.the plate, but they don't trust you, you know that, that is an

:36:52. > :36:56.established and obvious fact. In North Kensington there is a

:36:57. > :37:02.tremendous amount of distrust, we are a wide above the North

:37:03. > :37:07.Kensington, we deliver, we have excellent services as far as the

:37:08. > :37:10.rest of the borough and we have two continue to focus on that and I

:37:11. > :37:17.believe we can deliver housing to a good standard and that we can

:37:18. > :37:19.restore that trust. And if each of your council meetings ends up like

:37:20. > :37:24.the one you had last night, the whole thing is a nonsense, isn't it?

:37:25. > :37:28.Last night was our first public council meeting, it was important

:37:29. > :37:34.for us to get as many people in to have their say. We televised, we

:37:35. > :37:40.have a small chamber, we televised that out to the great Hall and had

:37:41. > :37:44.800 people turn up, exceptionally we had 3.5 hours of allowing people,

:37:45. > :37:49.quite rightly so, to come and say what they had to and make sure that

:37:50. > :37:52.everybody was under no illusion and we did that and we will do that

:37:53. > :37:59.again. We have increased the number of council meetings to eight because

:38:00. > :38:03.we are not hiding behind this at all and we want to allow people to feel

:38:04. > :38:08.that they are being heard, and that is all part of building trust.

:38:09. > :38:10.Councillor Kim Taylor Smith, thank you for your time this morning, we

:38:11. > :38:13.appreciated, thank you. The BBC's been giving more detail

:38:14. > :38:16.about how it plans to deal with the difference in pay

:38:17. > :38:18.between men and women, after it named the stars who earn

:38:19. > :38:20.more than ?150,000 Two-thirds of those

:38:25. > :38:26.salaries, which were revealed yesterday in its annual report,

:38:27. > :38:29.but has been urged to close the pay gap earlier

:38:30. > :38:31.than its current target of 2020. BBC executive James Purnell said pay

:38:32. > :38:37.cuts were part of the solution. Quite a lot of men have been

:38:38. > :38:46.taking pay cuts already. Will you expect more on air

:38:47. > :38:51.talent to take a pay cut? I will not negotiate on air

:38:52. > :38:55.but that is one of the levers we can The Brexit Secretary David Davis

:38:56. > :39:00.and the EU's negotiator Michel Barnier will today set out

:39:01. > :39:03.what progress has been made in the latest round of talks,

:39:04. > :39:05.which are about to end. Over the past four days,

:40:15. > :40:21.Breakfast. In an age of fake news, has politics

:40:22. > :40:24.gone beyond parody? We'll be speaking to comedian

:40:25. > :40:26.Nish Kumar about how he hopes his new show

:40:27. > :40:31.will revitalise topical satire. It's almost the summer holidays,

:40:32. > :40:34.great new for kids but maybe a bit We'll be looking at

:40:35. > :40:47.the cost of childcare. My ultimate goal is to be able to

:40:48. > :40:49.walk into a ballroom and go, excellent, all the men are properly

:40:50. > :40:53.dressed. That is a hat, isn't it?! That is a

:40:54. > :40:57.hat! And after 9am, we'll meet

:40:58. > :41:00.the Jane Austen superfans who are keeping the author's legacy

:41:01. > :41:07.alive, 200 years after her death. It is worth saying it is not just

:41:08. > :41:10.dressing up occasionally, that is how they dress all the time, they

:41:11. > :41:15.are out there right now waiting to comment, we will see them in a

:41:16. > :41:18.minute. Someone who is always aptly dressed for the weather, Mike, who

:41:19. > :41:23.is at the whale open in Birkdale, which has just got under way. I hope

:41:24. > :41:29.you have not stolen that ball, Mike! I always end up in the rough, which

:41:30. > :41:35.is where I am with my giant ball, welcome either that is very big or I

:41:36. > :41:37.am very small. It is a bouncy souvenir ball which you can buy

:41:38. > :41:41.here. Sheltering in the rough, I have to keep my boys down because I

:41:42. > :41:45.am not very far from play, sheltering from the wind, just

:41:46. > :41:49.overlooking the green on the fourth hole, a par three were a few moments

:41:50. > :41:53.ago we had Danny Willett going through and Ian Poulter will shortly

:41:54. > :41:57.be going through. Two English players who are under par, a very

:41:58. > :42:00.rare thing because of the wind and rain that has been swirling around

:42:01. > :42:25.Royal Birkdale here. Those two in a group of four players one under par,

:42:26. > :42:28.the rest all over, having nightmares on this challenging course because

:42:29. > :42:30.of the sand dunes, look at the size of them! Great for the spectators to

:42:31. > :42:33.get a good vantage point but they form the bunkers that one of the

:42:34. > :42:36.many hazards along with the wind at this famous course. We will have

:42:37. > :42:37.more on this in a few moments but first let's get the rest of the

:42:38. > :42:37.sport. England's footballers' bid to win

:42:38. > :42:40.the Womens European Championship got off to a spectacular start

:42:41. > :42:42.in the Netherlands, with a comprehensive 6-0

:42:43. > :42:43.victory over Scotland. Jodie Taylor became the first

:42:44. > :42:46.English woman to score a hat trick at a major tournament

:42:47. > :42:48.when she scored England's fourth And there was also a goal

:42:49. > :42:53.with the last kick of the match from the new Barcelona striker Toni

:42:54. > :42:54.Duggan. Scotland take on Portugal next,

:42:55. > :42:59.whilst England play Spain on Sunday. I've waited years to get to this

:43:00. > :43:02.point, difficult times along the way, but being at Canada was

:43:03. > :43:06.special, and being with the team, and it is the same with the Euros,

:43:07. > :43:09.being part of the squad is incredible, it is a proud moment for

:43:10. > :43:14.me. I just hope we can keep winning and keep being successful as a team.

:43:15. > :43:20.That is tournament football, when you make errors or get opportunities

:43:21. > :43:22.with a team like England, top five in the world for a reason, that is a

:43:23. > :43:28.harsh lesson. Some cheer for Scottish football,

:44:09. > :44:11.He's now 27 seconds ahead of both Colombia's Rigoberto Uran,

:44:12. > :44:16.and the French rider Romain Bardet, with four stages to go.

:44:17. > :44:24.Back here at the 146 open, the tenth time it has been staged at Royal

:44:25. > :44:31.Birkdale, and I'm joined by probably the busiest man of all in these

:44:32. > :44:33.parts over the next few days, the BBC's golf correspondent Iain

:44:34. > :44:38.Carter. Thank you for spending your time, I know you are busy following

:44:39. > :44:42.the action. It will be a long day, a busy day, I am out with Justin Rose

:44:43. > :44:46.on 5 Live from just before 10am and then as soon as that is finished out

:44:47. > :44:50.with Rory McIlroy, but you don't get better tickets than that so it is

:44:51. > :44:55.fantastic! How difficult has it been for the opening group this morning?

:44:56. > :44:59.The rain has stopped but it is blowing a gale. Royal Birkdale is a

:45:00. > :45:03.test at the best of times but the players will tell you it is a fair

:45:04. > :45:06.test, it is a stern examination of a golf game, but throw in the wind and

:45:07. > :45:09.rain that we had first thing, the forecast as I understand it is that

:45:10. > :45:13.it will brighten up as a day goes on but the wind will be there and it

:45:14. > :45:16.will be a big test for these players. Let's talk about some of

:45:17. > :45:21.the contenders, in the town last night there was only one name on

:45:22. > :45:25.everyone's lips, on all be streetlights and posters, Tommy

:45:26. > :45:28.Fleetwood, he used to break in with his father to have a sneaky game! He

:45:29. > :45:35.fell in love with the game of God around five or six, just down the

:45:36. > :45:38.road here, played on the local municipal but of course Royal

:45:39. > :45:42.Birkdale is here, let's nip in when no one is looking and play a couple

:45:43. > :45:46.of holes! Now he is playing his first Open Championship on this

:45:47. > :45:50.course, he did not come in 2008, the previous time he was just a little

:45:51. > :45:53.boy with his autograph book and now he is playing. Coming here as

:45:54. > :45:57.perhaps the form player in the world, never mind Southport. He won

:45:58. > :46:11.the French Open, he won in Abu Dhabi, challenged for the US Open,

:46:12. > :46:15.nearly one in your local course as well. And what makes this so open is

:46:16. > :46:18.many of the top players are struggling but with Rory McIlroy,

:46:19. > :46:21.yes missed the cut in the last three of his ball tournaments, but it only

:46:22. > :46:27.takes a good start to find his game again. In 2014 he came to the open

:46:28. > :46:31.at Royal Liverpool Hoylake and finished 14th at the Scottish open

:46:32. > :46:34.the week before, missed the cut in Ireland, he missed the cut in

:46:35. > :46:38.Scotland last week, missed the cut in Ireland, but as he says he is

:46:39. > :46:43.that kind of player that suddenly something clicks, he finds something

:46:44. > :46:46.with the putter, the ball starts disappearing and when he is in that

:46:47. > :46:49.mood he is very difficult to stop, but I think these windy conditions

:46:50. > :46:57.will not suit him, it will make it more

:46:58. > :47:05.The windy conditions made it more difficult. I bumped into Ryan

:47:06. > :47:09.McCarthy last night, he was so relaxed and here is what he said

:47:10. > :47:14.about the honour of playing in this Championship? The course is hard in

:47:15. > :47:18.the rotation. It's joust the Open itself, it's the oldest and greatest

:47:19. > :47:23.major, the greatest tournament there is. To be a participant, being my

:47:24. > :47:28.first major, is something very special. There's not one exact

:47:29. > :47:34.thing. The whole experience is just phenomenal. I have to point out, he

:47:35. > :47:37.wasn't camping, he did have a hotel! It shows that anyone has a chance

:47:38. > :47:42.here because of the conditions? This is an event that does what it says

:47:43. > :47:46.on the tin, the Open, you know! For every pampered pro that will be

:47:47. > :47:49.having his chef sorting out his food in the rental home or the luxury

:47:50. > :47:54.hotel, there are guys that will mix it with the fans in the campsite,

:47:55. > :47:59.have a few beers and really enjoy it. And undoubtedly, over these four

:48:00. > :48:03.days, we'll see names on the leader boards with which I'm not familiar,

:48:04. > :48:06.never mind everybody else, so, you know, that is the nature of the

:48:07. > :48:10.Open. I think that ultimately we are going to have a real pedigree

:48:11. > :48:16.champion. That is the history for Birkdale. The romantics would say

:48:17. > :48:20.maybe Justin Rose after what happened in 98 when he was 17,

:48:21. > :48:23.played in the form of his life? Yes, finished it off from holding off the

:48:24. > :48:28.green. What a moment. Still he hasn't beaten that finish of fourth

:48:29. > :48:32.place, yet he's a US Open champion, he's the Olympic champion, you know,

:48:33. > :48:35.who knows. We look forward to following it all with your good

:48:36. > :48:40.severals and Five Live over the next few days. Also BBC Two, you can

:48:41. > :48:43.watch highlights from 8 o'clock until 10. That is every day of the

:48:44. > :48:49.Championship as well. Thank you Iain, we are just going to finish by

:48:50. > :48:54.showing you the, as the sun actually comes out for the first time. Look

:48:55. > :48:57.at the martials in the orange on the fourth green as people make their

:48:58. > :49:01.way to get a vantage point. Let's get the official weather now though.

:49:02. > :49:05.The sun is poking its head out. Matt, you can tell us what is going

:49:06. > :49:13.to happen here later on and elsewhere.

:49:14. > :49:19.More sunshine to come at Royal Birkdale later on. Note the

:49:20. > :49:23.temperatures, mid teens, unlike the mid to high 20s over the past few

:49:24. > :49:25.days. That is the trend for most. Humid air at the moment across

:49:26. > :49:30.eastern parts of England. The cooler air is on its way into

:49:31. > :49:40.Northern Ireland. Central and eastern England and

:49:41. > :49:47.Scotland, some outbreaks of rain to come. We have had rumbles of thunder

:49:48. > :49:51.in Angus. For most, it's an improving story, although parts of

:49:52. > :49:57.Caithness, Orkney, also into Shetland, there'll be outbreaks of

:49:58. > :50:02.rain through much of the day. Western and southern Scotland,

:50:03. > :50:05.brighter conditions appearing. It may take to the end of the afternoon

:50:06. > :50:12.before things brighten in eastern England. Come further west, isolated

:50:13. > :50:16.light showers in Wales. Much of England and will finish the day with

:50:17. > :50:20.sunshine overhead. It will feel very pleasant once the

:50:21. > :50:25.sun is on your back wherever you are. The rain remains in northern

:50:26. > :50:29.parts of Scotland. A few showers into Wales and south-west England.

:50:30. > :50:33.The breeze picking up too. Notice something a bit more sinister

:50:34. > :50:37.gathering across the Republic of Ireland. As that approaches, it will

:50:38. > :50:43.keep temperatures up. Cooler conditions into parts of rural

:50:44. > :50:48.Scotland. If you are starting your summer break across England and

:50:49. > :50:55.Wales, the high pressure will bring wet weather to Northern Ireland and

:50:56. > :50:59.south-west England and Wales and also strong-to-gale force winds. A

:51:00. > :51:06.good part of England and Scotland will stay dry tomorrow. Still nice

:51:07. > :51:11.enough once the sun is out, even with the strengthening breeze you

:51:12. > :51:14.still get 20 degrees. The rain pushes across to southern Scotland

:51:15. > :51:19.where for Saturday it means a grey and stamp start for some. Elsewhere

:51:20. > :51:22.across England, Wales and Northern Ireland, on Saturday there'll be

:51:23. > :51:26.some sunshine and a few showers around as well. Nice enough when the

:51:27. > :51:31.sun is out. Some of you will avoid the showers all together. It will

:51:32. > :51:36.feel fresher when you do get the showers. On Sunday, only a small

:51:37. > :51:40.chance of persistent rain in the English Channel. The wettest weather

:51:41. > :51:47.will be eastern Scotland. Sunshine and showers for most. Temperatures

:51:48. > :51:50.18-22. Naga and Charlie, a quick question for you, if I say the word

:51:51. > :51:56.Brazil, what sort of weather would you think? Hot! Sunny! I've got a

:51:57. > :52:00.picture of you on the beach, that's in my head. You want to get rid of

:52:01. > :52:07.that, I promise you. How about this? ! During the last 24 hours, icicles,

:52:08. > :52:11.snow, frost. It habiterly cold across the southern areas. If you

:52:12. > :52:15.think this weekend is chilly, at least we are a bit warmer than that.

:52:16. > :52:20.That's freak weather though is it for them or is that part of their

:52:21. > :52:24.winter It does get cold, it's their winter there, but probably a bit too

:52:25. > :52:29.cold for them this time of year. The idea of Matt doing some random

:52:30. > :52:34.weather, the weather in Brazil, it's Thursday, why not. Exactly. Enjoy

:52:35. > :52:39.your day, think about Brazil. You are going to have to think about

:52:40. > :52:44.where you are going to go tomorrow now. Thank you very much.

:52:45. > :52:47.She is an author remembered with 'pride' by the British public

:52:48. > :52:50.and known for her 'sense' - but it is perhaps her

:52:51. > :52:53.'sensibilty' that has captured readers' imaginations.

:52:54. > :52:55.Yes we are talking about Jane Austen, and while her novels

:52:56. > :52:58.still delight many 200 years after her death, for some,

:52:59. > :53:03.They are the Jane-ites or superfans who live,

:53:04. > :53:05.read and breathe the Regency period, and they are subject

:53:06. > :53:18.My ultimate goal is to be able to walk into a ballroom and go, ah,

:53:19. > :53:26.excellent, all the men are properly dressed. She's my hero in every way.

:53:27. > :53:31.She's witty, brave, fond of a good laugh. I think that the manners and

:53:32. > :53:38.the courtesies that people showed each other then, it was a nice way

:53:39. > :53:43.to live. How big a fan am I. I try to explain it this way, on a scale

:53:44. > :53:47.of one to ten, I am a twelve. I often think, what would Jane Austen

:53:48. > :53:52.think of what I'm doing. She would make comments such as, I do wonder

:53:53. > :53:58.what's missing from these people's lives to make them hark back to

:53:59. > :54:00.olden days. It's like catching up with a good friend when I pick up

:54:01. > :54:10.the S. -- bibbing up the novels.

:54:11. > :54:13.And starring in the programme is Jane Austen blogger

:54:14. > :54:16.Sophie Andrews, author Joana Starnes and regency tailor Zack Pinsent.

:54:17. > :54:28.Zack you are dressed up in the outfit you normally wear. You are

:54:29. > :54:30.not dressed up for us for this moment in time, you routinely wear

:54:31. > :54:38.the clothes you are wearing right now? Oh, yes, exactly. I only ever

:54:39. > :54:41.wear period clothing. So yes, good morning! We can tell because you are

:54:42. > :54:45.in the south of France and my first question before we get on to the

:54:46. > :54:51.other stuff is, is it quite warm wearing that kind of outfit in the

:54:52. > :54:55.south of France, I'm thinking there are maybe practical problems? Like

:54:56. > :55:00.anything you get used to it in a way and you dress for the weather. If

:55:01. > :55:04.it's hot you wear cooler materials like silks and linens and natural

:55:05. > :55:09.materials breathe better than what people wear generally now. So if you

:55:10. > :55:13.are wearing polyester, with a bit of man-made fibre, you are going to be

:55:14. > :55:19.sweating out. My skin's always covered and I'm constantly in the

:55:20. > :55:26.shade. What attracts you about the regency period? You look fabulous.

:55:27. > :55:31.Thank you. I'll be honest, it doesn't look comfortable? Oh, it's

:55:32. > :55:38.really comfortable. Hides a lot of sins. You are wearing corsets? I am.

:55:39. > :55:42.That's not comfortable? It is. They're only regency shorts, they

:55:43. > :55:50.only come down to here. It's not the Victorian full knee in the back

:55:51. > :55:55.situation. It's a lot more free in the regency era than the Victorian.

:55:56. > :56:02.We have been briefed to say these are not costumed, as Charlie made

:56:03. > :56:06.clear with Zack, these are every day costumes, for Zack, not for you. So

:56:07. > :56:10.for you these are costumes? I would call it period clothing and I do

:56:11. > :56:15.wear it a lot. We have a lot of events now we go to regularly so I'm

:56:16. > :56:24.in the clothing a lot, not quite to the same extent as Zack who does

:56:25. > :56:29.wear it every day. Zack, you are maybe on holiday at the moment, when

:56:30. > :56:34.at home, do you have a day job and how does it work, do you dress like

:56:35. > :56:42.that? My day job is this, I'm a period Taylor and my job is Pinsent

:56:43. > :56:48.Tailoring and I make period clothing for people to wear. It's great.

:56:49. > :56:52.Simply because you are bringing the era alive with such accuracy which

:56:53. > :56:56.is just fantastic. You are a fine advert for the product and we can

:56:57. > :57:00.see a picture, you can't see it but we are watching you walking around

:57:01. > :57:06.with a giant top hat on, there's probably a special name for that, in

:57:07. > :57:12.a wonderful green top. Are there not days, in all honesty, when all you

:57:13. > :57:16.want to do is put a T-shirt on? No! No, mainly because it's not an

:57:17. > :57:22.option. I don't own any T-shirts or anything modern. I mean

:57:23. > :57:27.clothing-wise. In the studio, our other guests are backing that up.

:57:28. > :57:33.No, he wears this every day. You do different eras don't you Zack, you

:57:34. > :57:39.span a longer period in history. For you both, Jane Austen is key? Yes.

:57:40. > :57:45.Explain the link there and why she's so important for you in this sense?

:57:46. > :57:47.For me personally, I have a very emotional connection with Jane

:57:48. > :57:53.Austen. I was going through a difficult time in my life when I

:57:54. > :57:59.sort of came across her with problems and family illnesses and so

:58:00. > :58:03.when I was 16 and was studying her novel at school, her novels were an

:58:04. > :58:07.escape. I could jump into her world and forget about the real world for

:58:08. > :58:13.a few hours and that was a really important part of it. That's a

:58:14. > :58:17.common theme among many join-ites, the escapism aspect and harking back

:58:18. > :58:23.to something which we feel is lost from modern society. Joanna, have

:58:24. > :58:27.you tempted to take it a step further literally to dress like this

:58:28. > :58:34.all of the time or is it too impractical, with your job, I don't

:58:35. > :58:38.know what your job is? I write Austen related fiction. I don't

:58:39. > :58:45.dress like this every day. Austen is a state of mind for me. It's

:58:46. > :58:50.absolutely wonderful to recreate her world in our imagination and explore

:58:51. > :58:54.her novels, not for the... Just for the beauty that they are, but what

:58:55. > :58:59.might have also happened afterwards and what is the adventure that

:59:00. > :59:07.comes. It's all in the detail isn't it. Your bag, you have a clutch bag

:59:08. > :59:11.matching you? It contains gloves. You have got the fan? The fans need

:59:12. > :59:14.to come back, they're really useful in the sun. They need to be brought

:59:15. > :59:29.back. Thank you very much. Thank you for coming in in your

:59:30. > :59:30.outfits, and I hope it does not get too hot for you, that, in your

:59:31. > :59:34.outfit! Thank you for talking to us. You can watch 'My Friend

:59:35. > :59:41.Jane' on BBC Two this It might seem the preserve of spy

:59:42. > :59:50.thrillers, but using retina scans as a way of accessing your money

:59:51. > :59:53.is very much a reality, as TSB has become the first bank

:59:54. > :59:56.in Europe to adopt the technology. It's one of a number of biometric

:59:57. > :00:00.methods being used to give customers a secure but simple way to access

:00:01. > :00:02.to their accounts - Our technology correspondent

:00:06. > :00:07.could be your password We will show you how

:00:08. > :00:15.to register your iris. TSB customers will need

:00:16. > :00:17.an advanced Samsung smartphone to try out the advanced

:00:18. > :00:27.iris scanning technology. You set it up by getting the phone's

:00:28. > :00:31.camera to scan your eyes. If you want to log onto your bank

:00:32. > :00:34.account, you just need And because it is looking

:00:38. > :00:44.else takes a look. It takes less than

:00:48. > :00:50.convenient than looking You don't have to do

:00:51. > :00:53.anything special. We all know about the complexities

:00:54. > :01:00.of getting into your online accounts, remembering all sorts

:01:01. > :01:02.of passwords, fiddling So could biometrics, which depend

:01:03. > :01:06.on something unique about you, Facial recognition and retina

:01:07. > :01:11.scanning are used at passport control in various countries,

:01:12. > :01:13.and fingerprint scanning on smartphones has taken off

:01:14. > :01:16.as a means of paying for anything But even those promoting biometrics

:01:36. > :01:38.of the technology, If we get that right and put

:01:39. > :01:42.the right processes in place, I think the convenience that

:01:43. > :01:44.biometrics offers will create German hackers claimed they fooled

:01:45. > :01:47.Samsung's iris scanner But the phone maker and TSB insist

:01:48. > :01:52.it's very unlikely that anybody would have both phone and the photo

:01:53. > :01:59.needed to beat the system. We are going to talk about the

:02:00. > :02:03.summer holidays now. Schools out for pupils in Scotland,

:02:04. > :02:06.and for the rest of us the summer It might be music to the ears

:02:07. > :02:16.of kids, but maybe not Timetable juggling is the problem,

:02:17. > :02:21.who can look after the kids for six weeks at least.

:02:22. > :02:26.Sean is at a school holiday club in Greater Manchester.

:02:27. > :02:34.Good morning... You are interrupting a game of bingo here, Charlie! This

:02:35. > :02:42.is important stuff! This is what will keep them occupied most of the

:02:43. > :02:45.day. It had got a little bit quieter, mainly because a lot of the

:02:46. > :02:49.kids have gone off to school... I will let them get on. These are the

:02:50. > :02:53.holiday club kids who are still here, parents are putting them in

:02:54. > :02:55.while they go off to work during the day, but can people keep of those

:02:56. > :03:00.costs over the whole summer holidays? We know childcare is up 4%

:03:01. > :03:05.on last year, shortages in some parts of the country are worse than

:03:06. > :03:09.they were last here. How has this affected people? It has affected

:03:10. > :03:13.Carol, you run the school over the road that closed for the end of term

:03:14. > :03:19.yesterday, how important is it to have something like this very close?

:03:20. > :03:25.Very important, parents work and have to travel, they can come early

:03:26. > :03:28.and top of the children, they know they are entertained all day, kept

:03:29. > :03:32.very safe, well fed and can be picked up after work tonight. So it

:03:33. > :03:36.really helps the kids over the day get ready for school and also they

:03:37. > :03:40.build up the relationship over the year. But parents have got a lot to

:03:41. > :03:46.sort out over the next few weeks. Gemma, you are one of those parents.

:03:47. > :03:53.Nearly, our social media star of the morning! Six weeks holiday lined up,

:03:54. > :03:56.how are you covering it? Will merely be in a place like this the whole

:03:57. > :04:00.time? It would be great if she could be but it is really expensive for us

:04:01. > :04:04.to do that, and if we were going to put her into the holiday clubs you

:04:05. > :04:08.normally goes to, where her friends are, we would have to find an extra

:04:09. > :04:12.?900, which is obviously a significant cost, so we are having

:04:13. > :04:16.to manage it by taking time off work, me and my husband separately,

:04:17. > :04:20.and then speaking to the grandparents very nicely and

:04:21. > :04:28.organising her to go and see them for a couple of weeks. I am sure you

:04:29. > :04:32.love your grandparents, merely? Yes! Jonathan, you run a big technology

:04:33. > :04:36.firm, we hear a lot from technology firms that are able to set up a bit

:04:37. > :04:41.of an easy environment when they are a bit newer, what do you guys do?

:04:42. > :04:44.You can see how fun it is for the kids here but it is stressful for

:04:45. > :04:48.the parents so we do a lot of things to help, we have a childcare area, a

:04:49. > :04:52.play area for the kids, quite a few play areas at work, which allows

:04:53. > :05:02.parents to bring their children if they need to. We run code club so

:05:03. > :05:04.our apprentices teach five to 13-year-olds to take their first

:05:05. > :05:07.steps in programming so it is fun and they learn something valuable.

:05:08. > :05:11.But not every business can do that? Every business can provide some

:05:12. > :05:15.resource, we have grown from two to 250 people and as we have grown we

:05:16. > :05:18.have added resources as we can. Childcare at work, would you mind

:05:19. > :05:28.that if she was running around in the office next door?

:05:29. > :05:32.SHE LAUGHS. We would struggle with the social media if she was there

:05:33. > :05:37.all morning! But it is great what we're doing other employers need to

:05:38. > :05:40.allow that flexibility for parents. Thank you to you both, I will let

:05:41. > :05:45.you get on with your days. Have we finished bingo yet? They are

:05:46. > :05:49.getting to the end of the game, so we will leave you to the rest of the

:05:50. > :05:54.programme and we will crack on. Oh, we have a winner, perfect timing!

:05:55. > :05:58.Well done! They are taking over, taking over!

:05:59. > :06:00.Well done, Sean, thank you very much.

:06:01. > :06:03.He has done very well this morning. It started quietly, there were only

:06:04. > :06:07.a handful. I think he is enjoying it. Time for

:06:08. > :07:42.a last brief look at the headlines where

:07:43. > :07:44.I'll be back at 1.30pm with the lunchtime news -

:07:45. > :07:57.hope you can join me then, bye bye.

:07:58. > :08:01.From Spitting Image to The Thick Of It and Have I Got News For You,

:08:02. > :08:03.British TV has a strong tradition of comedians satirising

:08:04. > :08:06.But in a year of so many political surprises have

:08:07. > :08:14.I think it is fair to say that if you watch the news generally you

:08:15. > :08:15.would sometimes not believe it is real!

:08:16. > :08:17.A new programme starting tonight, hopes it has the answer.

:08:18. > :08:19.The Mash Report brings together comic Nish Kumar with the writers

:08:20. > :08:27.behind the satirical news website The Daily Mash.

:08:28. > :08:30.Joining us from our London newsroom is The Mash Report host,

:08:31. > :08:34.Nish Kumar and here in the studio is comedian and writer, Jake Yapp.

:08:35. > :08:41.Nish, let me stop you there due, what will the show for us? It is a

:08:42. > :08:45.fake news show, it is a parody of what you guys are doing right now.

:08:46. > :08:49.At the minute I feel like I am about to be told off or something. Yes,

:08:50. > :08:54.you have not dressed smartly enough, how dare you come on live television

:08:55. > :08:58.dressed like that! I will get that exact lecture from my mother when I

:08:59. > :09:10.have finished doing this! My mum is the same! It is interesting, though,

:09:11. > :09:13.thinking of the news we are covering, I wonder how much more

:09:14. > :09:15.extreme it can be? Yes, we certainly seem to have we had a generation of

:09:16. > :09:24.self satirising politicians. At points it seems beyond parody. We

:09:25. > :09:30.will do our best to add to the insanity unfolding around the world.

:09:31. > :09:34.Some of the best satire is the stuff that deals with the hardest material

:09:35. > :09:38.because it is easy to satirise trivial things and nonsense, the

:09:39. > :09:44.really difficult stuff to do is around very serious news items. How

:09:45. > :09:51.are you going to dance around that or deal with that kind of stuff? You

:09:52. > :09:55.are right, when the risks are greatest, the rewards are at their

:09:56. > :10:01.greatest, and we are hoping to not any punches, and we are certainly

:10:02. > :10:07.hoping to deal with as many big complicated and difficult issues as

:10:08. > :10:10.humanly possible. It is a challenge but that is literally our job, I

:10:11. > :10:14.really cannot complain about making jokes about the news, because that

:10:15. > :10:22.is literally the only thing I can do. At least you are playing to your

:10:23. > :10:26.strengths! Jake, how easy is it at the moment, though? I think there

:10:27. > :10:31.was a time when perhaps Margaret Thatcher was in Government, it was

:10:32. > :10:35.easy to have a single, powerful, charismatic, bold figure that people

:10:36. > :10:40.could target. At the moment it seems that you can attack either side and

:10:41. > :10:46.the lambasted from both sides for attacking, there is almost no common

:10:47. > :10:50.ground? Absolutely, there are several challenges facing satirists

:10:51. > :10:54.today. One is, post-Brexit, families are divided in all kinds of

:10:55. > :10:57.different ways, there is no political consensus any more that

:10:58. > :11:01.you could have perhaps counted on as a satirist in the 80s. The other

:11:02. > :11:09.thing is that there was more respect for politicians 20, 30 years ago and

:11:10. > :11:12.so satire provided a very different take on a politician. Whereas now,

:11:13. > :11:17.when you have got politicians who have got very smart to the satirical

:11:18. > :11:21.game cosying up to the satirists on shows like Have I Got News For You

:11:22. > :11:26.it becomes very hard to really land a punch on them. So there is that,

:11:27. > :11:30.and, as you say, the news that the moment is either fully in its own

:11:31. > :11:34.right, and it is impossible, like trying to paint over wet paint,

:11:35. > :11:41.trying to be funny on top of funny, or it is just awful. I feel for you,

:11:42. > :11:49.Nish! Can you give us the basics, Nish? Have you got a desk in front

:11:50. > :11:53.of you now, argued desk orientated? Yes, I am desk oriented when I have

:11:54. > :11:56.the show, I have no desk in front of me now, I have got a swivel chair as

:11:57. > :12:01.well and I don't really know what to do with my hands, I feel like I

:12:02. > :12:05.should be waving the whole time, but I will be sat behind a desk as a

:12:06. > :12:10.news anchor. I think the thing is every generation presents a

:12:11. > :12:14.different challenge the satirists. I sort of came of age in the era of

:12:15. > :12:18.Tony Blair and I remember people saying, well, it is impossible to

:12:19. > :12:22.satirise these people because they are so stage-managed and wise to it

:12:23. > :12:27.but then Armando Iannucci comes out with The Thick Of It which satirises

:12:28. > :12:31.that stage management so every generation is presented with its own

:12:32. > :12:36.unique set of challenges and we are no different in that regard as

:12:37. > :12:41.political comedians. Jake, when you think of The Daily Show, I mean,

:12:42. > :12:47.great title, The Mash Report, it is what it is, but when you think of

:12:48. > :12:52.The Daily Show, it has been there a while, people are used to it. Nish,

:12:53. > :12:58.how many episodes of this programme are you doing? We are doing ten. So,

:12:59. > :13:02.Jake, how easy it it to get under people's skin, because you need

:13:03. > :13:05.people to be loyal to this? That is the problem, I think, because it

:13:06. > :13:08.takes courage from a broadcaster to make a commitment because the only

:13:09. > :13:12.way to make a satirical programme that works is to make one that

:13:13. > :13:17.doesn't work. The best advice I ever got given when I set of doing

:13:18. > :13:28.stand-up comedy was from the head of BBC America and said, just go out

:13:29. > :13:31.and fail, and it sort of gave me and, obviously, Nish, I'm not wish

:13:32. > :13:34.this on you, but you need to be allowed to fail, you need to make a

:13:35. > :13:37.commitment over three years at least of-macro Nish, have you got a signed

:13:38. > :13:40.off in the show, because we are done now? I don't have one in the show

:13:41. > :13:44.but I can improvise one now. Hey, have a great day!

:13:45. > :13:50.It is harder than it looks, this news presenting game!

:13:51. > :13:56.It was truthful, wasn't it?! It was good! It came from a place of

:13:57. > :14:01.honesty! Jake, Nish, thank you very much.

:14:02. > :14:02.Nish, keep working on it. The Mash Report is on BBC Two

:14:03. > :14:04.tonight at 10pm. That's it from us today,

:14:05. > :14:08.we're back tomorrow from six. we could all do with making

:14:09. > :14:12.the most of our cash. So we found simple advice

:14:13. > :14:17.for you to do just that, and taken it to people

:14:18. > :14:21.right across the UK.
