:02:19. > :02:21.increased one third since 2014. Councils in the south-east and major
:02:22. > :02:27.cities are dealing with the largest numbers. Though other places have
:02:28. > :02:34.significant problems. The councils say they need more affordable homes

:18:43. > :19:03.with Mark Kermode and Jane Hill. Hello and welcome to the Film Review
:19:04. > :19:07.and to take us through the cinema We have Dunkirk, about
:19:08. > :19:18.which everyone is talking. We have City of Ghosts,
:19:19. > :19:23.a very harrowing documentary. And we have Captain Underpants,
:19:24. > :19:30.which is very funny. The scale and ambition
:19:31. > :19:37.of this is remarkable. It is and also the ambition
:19:38. > :19:41.of the release. It is the story of Dunkirk told
:19:42. > :19:47.by Christopher Nolan and it is the story
:19:48. > :19:52.of the evacuation told through three intertwining strands that
:19:53. > :19:54.loosely follow land, But although the story itself
:19:55. > :20:03.is fairly straightforward, it is told over three different
:20:04. > :20:07.timescales, one of the stories lasts one day, and one last one hour
:20:08. > :20:09.and these strands... If you know anything
:20:10. > :20:11.about Christopher Nolan, That temporal elasticity.
:20:12. > :20:18.to play with time. The brilliant thing about this
:20:19. > :20:21.is that he does in a way that is very clear, you understand
:20:22. > :20:25.what is happening even though It is shot on large format film
:20:26. > :20:30.and you have seen from the images, they are astonishing,
:20:31. > :20:32.great big cameras, plaudits to the cinematographer,
:20:33. > :20:34.carrying around these bulky cameras and doing really
:20:35. > :20:37.extraordinary work with them. The film is available in numerous
:20:38. > :20:40.different formats and depending on where you go to see it,
:20:41. > :20:43.you can see it in digital, 70... The picture will be different
:20:44. > :20:46.and look different. The advice I would give is that make
:20:47. > :20:50.sure you see it in the cinema that you know does the best possible
:20:51. > :20:52.presentation and sound. Sound is very important,
:20:53. > :20:55.it plays a huge part in this. Christopher Nolan talked about this
:20:56. > :21:04.being a movie about tension, it is not to do with explicitly
:21:05. > :21:07.what you see, it is about the build-up and the score
:21:08. > :21:11.is like a rising tide and it thrills I think the most impressive thing,
:21:12. > :21:19.you know I am huge fan of Christopher Nolan,
:21:20. > :21:22.the most impressive thing is that for a film on this scale,
:21:23. > :21:25.it is actually, the thing you take away from it, the smaller images,
:21:26. > :21:28.the image of a man walking hopelessly into the sea,
:21:29. > :21:31.the image of Kenneth Branagh's face looking over a lost horizon,
:21:32. > :21:34.those are very impressive pieces of work and it is great to see
:21:35. > :21:37.someone making a blockbuster movie that imagines that the audience
:21:38. > :21:40.are smart enough to keep up Christopher Nolan's whole thing has
:21:41. > :21:44.been that the audience are clever Why be Michael Bay when you can
:21:45. > :22:00.be Christopher Nolan? It is what everyone
:22:01. > :22:03.will be watching. Stories of the terror of Dunkirk
:22:04. > :22:06.and stories of heroism and there are stories as well
:22:07. > :22:09.in your next choice of some very brave individuals
:22:10. > :22:11.and I have to be honest, the more I read about this,
:22:12. > :22:15.another one I am not sure I quite have the stomach for,
:22:16. > :22:18.but it is important work. It is a documentary
:22:19. > :22:21.and it is the harrowing account of Isis' brutality as seen
:22:22. > :22:23.through the eyes of a citizens' They formed a collective
:22:24. > :22:30.and they decided that what they would do was document
:22:31. > :22:38.what was going on, to let the world know and they did that
:22:39. > :22:40.at great personal cost. The thing that I think the film does
:22:41. > :23:50.really well is that it pays greater tribute to the bravery of these
:23:51. > :23:54.people in doing this citizen journalism reporting and it
:23:55. > :23:57.contains horrifying images. There are several occasions
:23:58. > :24:00.while I was watching The bravery of it is that the people
:24:01. > :24:05.who were doing this, they did not look away,
:24:06. > :24:08.they saw it as their As you quite rightly say,
:24:09. > :24:15.it is a documentary that takes on very, very difficult subject
:24:16. > :24:18.matter and I think is really important, but it is absolutely
:24:19. > :24:25.necessary to say that there are things in this documentary,
:24:26. > :24:28.quite rightly, that are very harrowing, but it is a real tribute
:24:29. > :24:31.to the bravery, that they were trying to get
:24:32. > :24:34.the message out all the time, even though their own
:24:35. > :24:36.lives are under threat. Even there of course,
:24:37. > :24:41.there is the sense that they are We approach the summer holidays
:24:42. > :24:58.and we move to entirely different matters and perhaps
:24:59. > :25:01.for a younger age group? I'm 54 and I love
:25:02. > :25:04.Captain Underpants. This is based on the
:25:05. > :25:06.much-loved books. If you're familiar with the books,
:25:07. > :25:09.and I am, I was worried that someone would make a movie
:25:10. > :25:14.but now they have. Kids accidentally turn their
:25:15. > :25:16.headmaster into Captain Underpants with the help of hypnotising ring
:25:17. > :25:19.from the cereal packet. It's the paperwork
:25:20. > :25:31.to separate you two! I can actually see the end
:25:32. > :25:34.of your friendship. Put the pen down or we
:25:35. > :25:38.will hypnotise you! When I snap my fingers
:25:39. > :25:48.you will obey our every command! You're now be amazing
:25:49. > :25:56.Captain Underpants! You laughed all
:25:57. > :26:06.the way through that. I started laughing at the beginning
:26:07. > :26:15.of this movie and I did not stop. The more it went on,
:26:16. > :26:17.the funnier it became. I was sitting with critics
:26:18. > :26:20.who were enjoying it but they tend to be well-behaved,
:26:21. > :26:23.but I was laughing like a hyena. It is really funny and how great
:26:24. > :26:27.that we have a family movie out that you can take young kids to see
:26:28. > :26:31.and you will enjoy it Captain Underpants is
:26:32. > :26:35.a real standout delight. That's one day at
:26:36. > :26:38.least that's sorted. It is lovely, when there are not
:26:39. > :26:47.the best kids films around to see. It is very hard to find something
:26:48. > :26:51.that you think will work both for the young audience and also
:26:52. > :26:54.for an older audience. I would quite happily go and see
:26:55. > :26:56.this again tomorrow. I laughed all the way through it
:26:57. > :27:00.and you know what a fan Funnier than the Minions
:27:01. > :27:06.and that is really saying something. I have gone back to Baby Driver, it
:27:07. > :27:13.is still in cinemas and I love it. Edgar Wright has managed to cross
:27:14. > :27:17.a car chase movie with a romantic musical and make this film
:27:18. > :27:20.which is funny and sharp and smart and as a piece of cinema,
:27:21. > :27:23.I think it is really great and I want people to
:27:24. > :27:26.see it in the cinema. It will come out on home video,
:27:27. > :27:33.but it is one of those things. I did not do well
:27:34. > :27:48.on homework last week. As I said last week,
:27:49. > :28:00.you need to see The Levelling. Get Out is out, it is
:28:01. > :28:03.a great horror thriller. Jordan Peel is one of the voices
:28:04. > :28:06.in Captain Underpants and he wrote What this does is, it is kind
:28:07. > :28:12.of inspired by the books of Ira Levin, who wrote the Stepford
:28:13. > :28:16.wives, and tells a about white middle-class liberal America
:28:17. > :28:18.and it is more of a psychological thriller than a horror
:28:19. > :28:20.movie, although there It is sharp and satirical
:28:21. > :28:26.and really well played and what I loved about it,
:28:27. > :28:30.it was one of those films, you couldn't quite see
:28:31. > :28:32.where it was going. It has great performances,
:28:33. > :28:37.it is very bright and I didn't know much about it when I went
:28:38. > :28:42.in and I was really surprised and I love the books anyway,
:28:43. > :28:50.it is not directly adapted from the books, but it is a really
:28:51. > :28:54.fine piece of work, but try not to read too much about it before
:28:55. > :28:57.you see the film. A quick reminder before we go that

:32:52. > :32:54.Award For Excellence In Television. The star has long been derided
:32:55. > :32:58.for his attempt at an East End accent, but this is the first time
:32:59. > :33:17.he has publicly apologised I don't think he needs to apologise.
:33:18. > :33:25.That made the film personally. I should try... No, it will be
:33:26. > :33:30.atrocious. That clip we had was not the worst of it. He had mastered
:33:31. > :33:41.during the songs. It was not as good out of them. That was part of the
:33:42. > :33:51.charm, though. Still going strong. The Open, the golf. Who would bet
:33:52. > :34:04.against Jordan Spieth? Playing in winds of 35 miles per hour! Have you
:34:05. > :34:06.ever played in that? Yes. Into the breeze, swing with ease. You have to
:34:07. > :34:11.be calm. Don't get flustered. And so it's the American,
:34:12. > :34:14.Jordan Spieth, who heads the field at the halfway stage
:34:15. > :34:16.of the Open Championship. He negotiated some foul conditions
:34:17. > :34:19.at Royal Birkdale yesterday The two-time major winner,
:34:20. > :34:21.lies on six under par, two shots ahead of his nearest
:34:22. > :34:25.rival, despite playing in the worst He's three shots off the lead,
:34:26. > :34:30.after a consistent round yesterday. And after Rory McIlroy feared
:34:31. > :34:34.he might miss the cut in the first round, he's bounced back,
:34:35. > :34:51.into a tie for seventh place Anything around even par, conditions
:34:52. > :35:01.will bring a good score. I got off to the best possible start. I made
:35:02. > :35:06.some birdies early on. I needed some big up and downs.
:35:07. > :35:25.It will be great to tee off late and have a lie-down in the morning, look
:35:26. > :35:28.at the pin locations, see how other players are playing certain holes.
:35:29. > :35:30.How the course should be played. I just want a nice weekend without too
:35:31. > :35:35.much rain. Fat chance. The American leads after two rounds

:35:46. > :35:48.lies at two over par. His preparations for the second
:35:49. > :35:50.round were less than ideal, after the house that he's staying
:35:51. > :35:54.in, was burgled on Thursday. Clothes, personal effects
:35:55. > :35:55.and jewellery were stolen but Stenson refused to blame that,
:35:56. > :36:17.for a poor round yesterday. Not too much on, you know, the
:36:18. > :36:20.effect of today's round, I would say, but being with the police
:36:21. > :36:22.rather than staying where you want to do, it was a difficult evening,
:36:23. > :36:24.if I could put it that way. Kadeena Cox won Britain's 14th gold
:36:25. > :36:27.at the World Para Athletics Championships last night,
:36:28. > :36:29.winning the T38 400m. Cox, who holds the world

:36:33. > :36:35.seconds for her second medal She'll run again today
:36:36. > :36:38.in the T38 100m. Cox won gold, silver and bronze
:36:39. > :36:54.on the track in Rio last year I was confident for 300 metres. It
:36:55. > :37:02.is massive. It was good. I did not know if I had the strength. I have
:37:03. > :37:05.not been on the bike. I just needed to give myself a gap to have a bit
:37:06. > :37:06.of a buffer. Usain Bolt was victorious in his
:37:07. > :37:09.final race before his swansong at the World Athletics Championships
:37:10. > :37:12.in London next month. Competing in the Monaco Diamond
:37:13. > :37:14.League, Bolt produced a season's best, running under ten seconds
:37:15. > :37:17.for the first time this year. And there was a great
:37:18. > :37:44.run from Laura Muir Smashing her personal best by eight
:37:45. > :37:49.seconds as she finished third, a place ahead of her fellow
:37:50. > :37:52.Scot Eilish McColgan who also set 12 seconds faster
:37:53. > :37:59.than her previous best. Chris Froome is just two stages away
:38:00. > :38:03.from a fourth tour de france title. He finished in the bunch
:38:04. > :38:05.on stage 19 yesterday as Norway's Edvan
:38:06. > :38:07.Bosen-Hagen took the win. Froome has a 23-second lead
:38:08. > :38:10.to protect going into today's time If he emerges unscathed,
:38:11. > :38:14.he'll be crowned champion Tom Daley is through to the Men's

:38:24. > :38:26.in Hungary Daley, who won bronze in this event in London,
:38:27. > :38:28.qualified in second place Compatriot, Matty Lee,
:38:29. > :38:41.is also through. I think this year it has been all
:38:42. > :38:46.about enjoying it. Last year was such a serious year with it in the
:38:47. > :38:48.Olympic year. I just wanted the best shot I could have. I wanted to have
:38:49. > :38:51.fun with it. Wigan completed their regular
:38:52. > :38:54.Super League season with a crushing 34-0 victory over Leeds Wigan
:38:55. > :38:56.had already qualified for the Super Eights,
:38:57. > :38:59.but ran in seven tries There were wins elsewhere
:39:00. > :39:03.for Leigh and Hull FC, Now on a weekend, when England
:39:04. > :39:12.and Scotland's women play their second matches at Euro
:39:13. > :39:15.2017, are the stars of tomorrow, completely in the dark
:39:16. > :39:17.about their potential ? If you're too embarrassed or self
:39:18. > :39:20.conscious to take up football, would you be more encouraged to,
:39:21. > :39:23.if no-one could see you. That's the thinking behind
:39:24. > :39:26.a new league, which has taken off I've been to join Stoke City's
:39:27. > :39:51.women to find out more. We are all dressed up with facepaint
:39:52. > :39:55.on. Some more than others, admittedly. We are ready for kick
:39:56. > :40:16.off. It seems like an ordinary game at the moment. All of that changes
:40:17. > :40:19.with the flick of a switch. It all started with glow badminton and
:40:20. > :40:23.squash, then football a few years ago in Stoke. It has spread to the
:40:24. > :40:27.north and other parts of the country as well it is three factors, playing
:40:28. > :40:32.with your friend, the music is playing. It is great. No one cares
:40:33. > :40:41.about how you look, everyone looks the same. It is great for teenage
:40:42. > :40:52.girls. There is now a weekly UV League run by the Stoke city
:40:53. > :40:58.Community Trust, backed by the FA. It is like ping-pong at times.
:40:59. > :41:02.Sometimes you are just looking for an orange shirt. It is part of a
:41:03. > :41:07.wider push, looking to start leagues at many clubs to reach girls who
:41:08. > :41:13.would otherwise not get into it, like this girl. You are in the dark
:41:14. > :41:18.so you can see anyone. If you are embarrassed or anything, it doesn't
:41:19. > :41:31.matter. No one can really see you. Is that what helps you get into it?
:41:32. > :41:36.Yeah. Girls can show themselves. The game is finely poised, level. The
:41:37. > :41:52.opposition are making a substitution. And what a
:41:53. > :41:57.substitution it was! Tackled. That super sub made all the difference.
:41:58. > :42:05.It is no surprise. 93 caps for England. Your first experience with
:42:06. > :42:09.glow football. It was so much fun. It is great to show girls and boys
:42:10. > :42:15.who don't have confidence you can do it. You don't know who is there. It
:42:16. > :42:23.was good. I managed to score an own goal. But it could have been anyone.
:42:24. > :42:28.It certainly makes for some interesting team photos.
:42:29. > :42:42.That is scary. Did you make your make up up? I had some steel on my
:42:43. > :42:47.ears and I didn't realise until the gas attendant said why have you got
:42:48. > :42:51.blue ears? -- still. They're vital modern-day tools used
:42:52. > :42:54.for search and rescue operations and crop surveillance but drones
:42:55. > :42:56.also have the potential Last year, there were 70
:42:57. > :43:00.near misses with aircraft. The government wants
:43:01. > :43:02.to stem their misuse by introducing measures that will help
:43:03. > :43:04.authorities trace their owners. Joining us from our London newsroom
:43:05. > :43:08.is Phil Binks who is in charge of managing drones for
:43:09. > :43:15.the National Air-Traffic Services. Good morning. Thank you for your
:43:16. > :43:21.time. Before we go into the new measures and what they mean, give us
:43:22. > :43:27.an outline. You will represent air-traffic controllers. Tell us
:43:28. > :43:31.about the problems they have caused. Drones have caused many problems.
:43:32. > :43:39.Airports by merrily have these problems. -- primarily. It is not
:43:40. > :43:47.just about delays. Think about the people on the aircraft. Aeroplanes
:43:48. > :43:51.may not be able to land at the appropriate airport. It can cause
:43:52. > :44:03.problems. We need to address this. We are pleased the government is
:44:04. > :44:06.looking into establishing a Drone Registration Scheme, electronic
:44:07. > :44:09.tagging, and education. It is a fantastic way forward. Talk us
:44:10. > :44:16.through this. I am sitting at home and I have one. It is over a certain
:44:17. > :44:21.size. What I obliged to do and what happens if I don't? The fine details
:44:22. > :44:27.have not been established. But if you have one over 250 g, relatively
:44:28. > :44:33.small, you will be asked to register your drone. That can be tied into
:44:34. > :44:38.education. If you sign up for registration, you can do an on line
:44:39. > :44:49.education piece to become more aware of what is around you, the air space
:44:50. > :44:54.you cannot fly, the ground issues. It sounds good if you can do it. But
:44:55. > :44:59.if I have one in my cupboard, who makes sure I take this course and
:45:00. > :45:04.register? Well, there are laws, there will be laws, introduced, if
:45:05. > :45:09.we do go down this route. The police can take you to court and you can be
:45:10. > :45:14.fined. There will be custodial sentences if you cause hazards.
:45:15. > :45:22.There is a significant threat around that. We have to encourage people to
:45:23. > :45:26.have safe usage. We want to promote drones, they are fantastic new tool.
:45:27. > :45:35.The only way to do that is safe operations being encouraged.
:45:36. > :45:44.Are a air-traffic controllers are loaded by pilots? You mentioned some
:45:45. > :45:49.electronic devices whereby there could be detected by air-traffic
:45:50. > :45:53.controllers. Can you explain the sequences? What we get today is
:45:54. > :45:59.pilot reports. The pilot will say, "We have seen a drone." And then
:46:00. > :46:05.they will see a report written. They will write one up, the location. We
:46:06. > :46:12.have the radar tapes, everything is recorded. We see if we can drone on
:46:13. > :46:15.radar. Unfortunately, the drones are too small for us to see them
:46:16. > :46:21.sometimes but we will still investigate. We want to make sure
:46:22. > :46:25.safety is maintained. Because we can't see them using traditional
:46:26. > :46:36.radars, we can use a thing called a let to -- something that allows us
:46:37. > :46:39.to see the drone electronically even though we can't physically see it
:46:40. > :46:47.using traditional air-traffic control radar. Then once we know the
:46:48. > :46:50.-- where the drone is, we get a better picture of what is going
:46:51. > :46:57.around us. Here's Stav with a look
:46:58. > :47:09.at this morning's weather. I have got a sunshine and showers
:47:10. > :47:13.picture behind me because that is what we will see this weekend thanks
:47:14. > :47:18.to low pressure. Some of the showers could be poky with hail and thunder
:47:19. > :47:28.mixed in. The winds will be falling lighter issues could use after
:47:29. > :47:32.yesterday's gales. -- good news. The wind has moved north overnight and
:47:33. > :47:41.is across northern parts of Ireland, England. Eastern England and behind,
:47:42. > :47:44.the skies will brighten up. The rain always threatened Easter Nereus in
:47:45. > :47:56.the morning. Northern Scotland doing very well. -- eastern areas. A dry
:47:57. > :48:00.start, a bit of mist and fog that there should be sunshine. Showers
:48:01. > :48:04.pushing into the south-west. These will become more widespread. Pushing
:48:05. > :48:09.their way eastwards to the afternoon. Some of them could be
:48:10. > :48:12.heavy. Some heavy showers across northern England. Some sunny spells
:48:13. > :48:19.in between for Northern Ireland and North of Scotland. The odd 20- 21,
:48:20. > :48:30.30 South. Beverley, high-teens were you get the showers. Generally
:48:31. > :48:35.cloudy skies. The sunshine will be limited for the golf. The showers
:48:36. > :48:38.stay away from much of England and Wales that they will be patchy rain
:48:39. > :48:43.across northern England and in towards Scotland. Dry, clear skies
:48:44. > :48:53.otherwise. Particularly rule places will have missed and fog and chilly
:48:54. > :49:03.skies. Mr and fog will clear away. -- mist and fog. -- mist and fog.
:49:04. > :49:08.They could have hired around 19- 24 degrees. As we had to next week, I
:49:09. > :49:10.reach of high pressure builds. Northerly winds but they are light.
:49:11. > :49:17.-- a ridge of high pressure. This week Spencer Kelly and the team
:49:18. > :49:21.are immersing themselves It's fun, but it's not
:49:22. > :50:13.going to change the world... It's not going to
:50:14. > :50:15.change the world... It wouldn't fit in as much as,
:50:16. > :50:18.say, my phone would. Not really what you want to hear

:50:28. > :50:29.actually been around But it wouldn't be the first bit
:50:30. > :50:36.of amazing looking tech to simply One of the problems is the media
:50:37. > :50:41.goes mad over it and then everything gets overhyped, not that we would be
:50:42. > :50:46.guilty of that of course... But the truth is, sometimes stuff
:50:47. > :50:50.gets overblown and the people who buy the thing end up getting
:50:51. > :50:56.disappointed by the thing. Well, this week, the BBC,
:50:57. > :51:00.in partnership with Ipsos Mori, has published research
:51:01. > :51:05.into the reality of virtual reality. 16 ordinary people were given
:51:06. > :51:07.Samsung Gear VR headsets for three months, and asked to use them
:51:08. > :51:11.in their free time at home. And for any long-term observers
:51:12. > :51:13.of tech, the results Actually finding your headset
:51:14. > :51:24.in the first place, it might be shoved in a drawer or somewhere,
:51:25. > :51:27.under your bed, dust it off, it might be dirty, it
:51:28. > :51:30.might not be totally clean. Getting your phone and putting
:51:31. > :51:33.it into the headset, if you have a mobile-driven VR
:51:34. > :51:36.headset, and making sure that the phone has high battery
:51:37. > :51:39.because that will often be Finding a piece of content
:51:40. > :51:43.to actually watch, the phone might overheat and the experience
:51:44. > :51:47.will then stop. You might be a family,
:51:48. > :51:49.friends or flatmates pranking you as you are doing it
:51:50. > :51:53.so you will feel self-conscious. Your hair might be messed up,
:51:54. > :51:56.or your make-up, or whatever. And all of those various barriers
:51:57. > :52:02.come to be quite significant behavioural hurdles
:52:03. > :52:08.to get people to do this. These things just aren't
:52:09. > :52:11.ready for prime time yet. They are not easy to use
:52:12. > :52:14.and they are not easy to share. For example, as soon
:52:15. > :52:17.as I take this off my head, it switches off to save power,
:52:18. > :52:20.which means I cannot get something going and then give it
:52:21. > :52:23.to someone else to enjoy. It will switch off and they have
:52:24. > :52:26.to navigate to the content It means I've ended up putting
:52:27. > :52:31.a sticker over the sensor so it doesn't know when it's been taken
:52:32. > :52:36.off, which is stupid! There's really no argument that
:52:37. > :52:45.VR can blow your mind. But after those initial experiences,
:52:46. > :52:50.keeping people interested Once they are exhausting
:52:51. > :52:53.the key experiences, the novelty experiences around
:52:54. > :52:55.the roller-coaster rides, and the horror experiences,
:52:56. > :53:02.those kinds of things, then their enthusiasm
:53:03. > :53:06.ebbs away quite quickly. And one of the reasons why people
:53:07. > :53:10.get bored is that there was not much With VR content, I think
:53:11. > :53:14.there is a bit of a chicken Obviously, to encourage more
:53:15. > :53:18.people to buy VR headsets, it would be good to have more
:53:19. > :53:21.and more VR content. But it costs a lot of money to make
:53:22. > :53:25.and you don't necessarily want to invest in making the content
:53:26. > :53:28.unless you are confident a lot So, it is difficult to put a lot
:53:29. > :53:34.of money into something if you do not know that people
:53:35. > :53:37.will buy the headset but then to convince them to buy the headset,
:53:38. > :53:42.maybe you have to do that? It's a problem that's
:53:43. > :53:44.also beset Blu-ray, 4K, We've moved incredibly far
:53:45. > :53:51.in the last two years in terms of what has been produced,
:53:52. > :53:53.but there was a lot There is consumer uptake
:53:54. > :53:57.of headsets, technology needs to be better for production,
:53:58. > :54:00.tools and things to produce that. All of these things are happening
:54:01. > :54:03.at once and incredibly fast, This might explain why last week
:54:04. > :54:09.Facebook cut the price of their Oculus headset
:54:10. > :54:11.for the second time. It's a lot to shell out
:54:12. > :54:15.for something that might just end up By reducing its prices,
:54:16. > :54:24.oculus will probably appeal to more people who were already
:54:25. > :54:26.considering buying the headset, but I'm not sure it will convince
:54:27. > :54:30.many people to buy it, It still costs about the same
:54:31. > :54:35.as a games console. And it's not just the price
:54:36. > :54:37.of the headset itself, you need to have a pretty high-end
:54:38. > :54:41.machine to run these things on. And even Sony, the company that
:54:42. > :54:44.provides a high-end PlayStation 4 with its VR headsets,
:54:45. > :54:46.which has sold 1 million of the things, told us not to get
:54:47. > :54:50.too excited about it. I think that, in the last
:54:51. > :54:53.six months to a year, we have seen a little
:54:54. > :54:55.bit of overhyping of We saw this as the start of a very
:54:56. > :55:05.long process of bringing VR You will see a lot more
:55:06. > :55:08.technology innovation. I think content makers,
:55:09. > :55:11.game makers, and others, including folks making
:55:12. > :55:12.television programmes, they are really only just starting
:55:13. > :55:16.to learn what the tools are to make Everybody knows it will take some
:55:17. > :55:25.time before we produce really good and compelling content,
:55:26. > :55:31.but we are inventing a new medium here and that is obviously
:55:32. > :55:33.going to take time. But unless we start somewhere,
:55:34. > :55:39.we will never do it. So we need to wait a few years
:55:40. > :55:43.while you guys get it right, so there is something
:55:44. > :55:44.worth watching? LAUGHTER You cannot develop anything
:55:45. > :55:47.unless it is in conjunction with the audience too,
:55:48. > :55:50.say if we have no audience, we would never be able to create
:55:51. > :55:53.something and make it really It certainly seems that VR
:55:54. > :55:57.is struggling to become commonplace in the home at the moment,
:55:58. > :56:00.but that is not the end This little fellow
:56:01. > :56:14.is called Sea Turtle. Designed to move, like,
:56:15. > :56:17.you guessed it, a sea turtle, his arms are shaped
:56:18. > :56:20.like the fins found in nature. He has been developed by researchers
:56:21. > :56:23.at Arizona University to detect landmines, and sadly
:56:24. > :56:28.for him, detonate them. Unsurprisingly, current de-mining
:56:29. > :56:30.bots on the market, cost a pretty penny,
:56:31. > :56:33.but Sea Turtle has been made Powered by a Raspberry Pi Zero
:56:34. > :56:36.computer, this disposable device Not bad for a machine
:56:37. > :56:40.that learns as it goes. And every time a robot makes a move,
:56:41. > :56:46.it essentially gives itself some positive reinforcement, in terms of,
:56:47. > :56:52.maybe I should try that again. If it gets negative,
:56:53. > :56:55.or it does not do very well, in trying a new type of control,
:56:56. > :56:59.then it is set negative reinforcement, then it does not try
:57:00. > :57:02.that type of motion again. In reinforcing it, by giving it
:57:03. > :57:04.good or bad feedback, it was able to learn
:57:05. > :57:07.to walk upon its own. Not only could the lightweight
:57:08. > :57:12.robot, potentially save lives here on earth, he could also
:57:13. > :57:15.potentially be used to further One of our goals is to use this
:57:16. > :57:19.in order to manufacture The idea is, rather than altering
:57:20. > :57:23.the design of the robot here on earth, where we do not
:57:24. > :57:26.have the environment, in which it is going to be deployed,
:57:27. > :57:30.we can actually just ship the materials into space
:57:31. > :57:34.and manufacture the robot Currently battery-powered,
:57:35. > :57:54.Sea Turtle is fairly powered after about three hours of charge,
:57:55. > :57:57.so researchers want to add solar cells to his back so that
:57:58. > :58:00.he can charge himself. They also plan to manufacture
:58:01. > :58:02.loads and alternate them, so swarms of bots working together
:58:03. > :58:13.could quickly cover large areas. This robot is really good
:58:14. > :58:18.at powering through sand, so not just landmines detection,

:59:47. > :59:51.similar exercises and techniques and in the future he hopes his research
:59:52. > :59:57.might be used by speech therapists in treatment. When the person is in

:06:17. > :06:36.is outside one of their flagship Boots got a lot of criticism and now
:06:37. > :06:40.they have responded. Yeah. Essentially, they have almost done
:06:41. > :06:46.an about turn on the issue. Where did it begin? The service that
:06:47. > :06:50.provides abortions in the UK, they were calling on Boots and other
:06:51. > :06:55.retailers in the UK to slash prices on the morning after pill, because
:06:56. > :07:00.it is so much cheaper in other parts of Europe. At Boots, you can get the
:07:01. > :07:07.cheapest version of it for just over ?26. In Tesco, you can get it for
:07:08. > :07:12.around ?13, half the price. This row picked up speed on Thursday when
:07:13. > :07:18.Boots released a statement saying it would not reduce prices, saying it
:07:19. > :07:22.did not want to promote or encourage overuse of the morning after pill.
:07:23. > :07:28.That prompted an angry response from more than 30 female Labour MPs and
:07:29. > :07:33.some Conservative MPs as well, basically accusing the company of
:07:34. > :07:37.treating women like children and of taking a moral position on an issue
:07:38. > :07:41.of choice, whether or not to take the pill. Last night we had a
:07:42. > :07:46.statement from Boots, quite an unequivocal apology, really, saying
:07:47. > :07:51.the company was truly sorry for the poor choice of words causing
:07:52. > :07:55.misunderstanding and defence. They say they will now provide cheaper

:13:14. > :13:16.after a powerful earthquake struck the Greek Island of Kos
:13:17. > :13:19.Two people were killed and at least 100 people injured.
:13:20. > :13:23.10,000 British tourists are said to be out there and many others
:13:24. > :13:28.Joining us now from our London newsroom is Emma Coulthurst
:13:29. > :13:29.from the website TravelSupermarket.com.
:13:30. > :13:35.Good morning. Thank you very much for your time. Good morning. Many
:13:36. > :13:39.people will be worried. Not so much about whether another earthquake
:13:40. > :13:43.will happen, but what has happened to the infrastructure, the
:13:44. > :13:52.facilities over there, of many things they have booked. The
:13:53. > :14:00.epicentre was ten miles east of Kos in Greece. But it is Kos that has
:14:01. > :14:07.had most of the damage. Some of the buildings have been damaged. There
:14:08. > :14:13.was a bit of flooding in Turkey, low-level flooding in Bodram. If you
:14:14. > :14:17.are going to any of these places, and many British holidaymakers are
:14:18. > :14:22.going there this summer, the advice is to follow the Commonwealth Office
:14:23. > :14:32.advice, they are not advising against travel, but keep things in
:14:33. > :14:37.mind. Flights are operating. There are about five or six flights from
:14:38. > :14:41.the UK, Heathrow, Glasgow. There is a flight from the East Midlands.
:14:42. > :14:48.Mostly this afternoon. And then flying out this afternoon. EasyJet,
:14:49. > :14:54.they are all saying they are going and are scheduled. The flights are
:14:55. > :14:57.there, but what about accommodation? Some buildings have been damaged.
:14:58. > :15:01.You are talking about flooding as well. And just general
:15:02. > :15:06.infrastructure, the resources, the facilities. They have been affected.
:15:07. > :15:10.It will not be, for some, the typical environment they expected
:15:11. > :15:18.for a family holiday. There is a bit of damage in the Kos main part of
:15:19. > :15:21.the town. It is obvious advice, but don't go into buildings, near
:15:22. > :15:27.buildings, anywhere that has been damaged, anything vulnerable to
:15:28. > :15:36.damage... What if your hotel, the on new books, has been damaged? -- the
:15:37. > :15:40.one you booked. People have to be reassured that tour operators, if
:15:41. > :15:45.there is any risk, you will be moved. We have not heard of anyone
:15:46. > :15:52.having to be moved, any problems with hotels. I think the advice is
:15:53. > :15:58.just, you know, everything is as scheduled, flights are going. The
:15:59. > :16:13.Commonwealth Office is saying it is fine to travel. Many people are
:16:14. > :16:17.going to be eastern Med this summer. Kos has had a bad time, a turbulent
:16:18. > :16:21.one, in the last two years, because of world events. And now people are
:16:22. > :16:24.going back in big numbers. There are a thousand people in Kos at the
:16:25. > :16:28.moment. Lights are going. -- 8000. People should not be concerned. What
:16:29. > :16:33.if you are out there at the moment and you see the damage? I know you
:16:34. > :16:37.said it is minimal, but we are showing some significant damage in
:16:38. > :16:42.pictures. What if they think it is not the environment they want to be?
:16:43. > :16:47.I am not safe and happy. What are your rights?
:16:48. > :16:55.The advice is it safe to travel. If people are concerned then quite
:16:56. > :17:00.rightly, they can talk to the tour operators and they can talk to the
:17:01. > :17:04.travel insurance as well. You might be able to claim in terms of
:17:05. > :17:11.disruption that if you are thinking, oh, I don't want to travel there,
:17:12. > :17:14.speak to your tour operator. Only if the Foreign Office say it is unsafe
:17:15. > :17:19.to travel somewhere can you get your money back but talk to your travel
:17:20. > :17:24.provider and speak to them about it. When we see pictures of people
:17:25. > :17:27.sleeping outside their hotels in these tourist areas, they have to
:17:28. > :17:34.have travel insurance to be guaranteed to get a refund or to be
:17:35. > :17:38.re- accommodated? Not at all, no. If there is any trouble with the hotel,
:17:39. > :17:43.the tour operator will move you. In terms of insurance, if you face any
:17:44. > :17:47.delays, you may be able to claim if you have that as part of your
:17:48. > :17:51.insurance, for any delays. Thank you for joining us.
:17:52. > :17:59.Here's Stav with a look at this morning's weather.
:18:00. > :18:05.Good morning to you both. Sunshine and showers are the order of play
:18:06. > :18:10.for the weekend. They could be heavy with some hail and thunder possibly
:18:11. > :18:14.mixed in through the afternoon, particularly today. These hit and
:18:15. > :18:17.myth showers, some areas may stay dry. They are falling light which is
:18:18. > :18:23.good news after yesterday's strong winds. It is starting to feel which
:18:24. > :18:27.means the width will be getting light as the weekend wears on. We
:18:28. > :18:30.start off with a mixture, rain across northern areas and sunshine
:18:31. > :18:38.through central areas and showers across the state -- south-west.
:18:39. > :18:42.Largely dry for Northern Ireland. Central, southern, northern England.
:18:43. > :18:47.Rain clearing away from eastern England. Then for Wales and the
:18:48. > :18:50.Midlands, apart from the odd fog patch, it should be dry. Showers
:18:51. > :18:54.already getting into the south-west and these will be moving north and
:18:55. > :19:00.east through the day. As the temperatures rise as well, the
:19:01. > :19:04.showers will become heavier. There will be some sunshine mixed in
:19:05. > :19:08.across northern England, southern Scotland some torrential downpours.
:19:09. > :19:14.Parts of the Midlands in towards Wales, some decent, good spells of
:19:15. > :19:19.sunshine and it could get up to 21 Celsius. There could be a shower for
:19:20. > :19:24.the golf today and into Sunday, unless a chance of showers but
:19:25. > :19:27.cloudier skies with temperatures around the high-teens. Wins
:19:28. > :19:32.remaining light. The showers right along this evening and they should
:19:33. > :19:44.clear a way. -- winds. There should be the Chao into overnight. -- the
:19:45. > :19:48.odd shower. A cool start to Sunday. Showers developing again into the
:19:49. > :19:55.afternoon. More scattered than what we saw today. A good chance many
:19:56. > :20:01.places will stay dry. 23 is the high today and spend next week, a reach
:20:02. > :20:03.of high pressure else in. At least it isn't strong sunshine and it will
:20:04. > :20:10.feel a little bit warmer. 900 children a month are entering
:20:11. > :20:17.temporary accommodation. No child should be homeless,
:20:18. > :20:20.but according to latest figures. The Local Government
:20:21. > :20:21.Association, which represents councils in England,
:20:22. > :20:24.says the number of children needing accommodation has risen
:20:25. > :20:26.by a third in three years, which it describes
:20:27. > :20:28.as 'unsustainable'. So what's causing the problem,
:20:29. > :20:30.and what is the impact Joining us is Mark Coleman
:20:31. > :20:34.and Gillian Cooper, who are currently living
:20:35. > :20:36.in temporary accommodation And, Anne Baxendale
:20:37. > :20:48.from the homelessness Could you establish your
:20:49. > :20:54.circumstances right now? You have a number of children and the place you
:20:55. > :20:58.are living. We have five children, three currently living with us.
:20:59. > :21:02.There are circumstances with the old to moving out. They wanted to spread
:21:03. > :21:07.their wings and it means we became under occupied which meant we
:21:08. > :21:18.couldn't afford the rent. The rent is made up of third number of
:21:19. > :21:23.occupants. --A number of occupants. He wasn't going to take a lower rent
:21:24. > :21:29.and white top up the difference. It was about ?400. The result? We asked
:21:30. > :21:32.to be evicted so we could get local authority help because we couldn't
:21:33. > :21:38.find any 3-bedroom properties for the rest of us. The local
:21:39. > :21:41.authorities said OK. We got evicted and then we went to the Housing
:21:42. > :21:48.Department who then rejected our application. That meant you and your
:21:49. > :21:54.children went through a number of different accommodation situations.
:21:55. > :22:00.We actually didn't know what to expect when we first got made
:22:01. > :22:04.homeless. It was a big shock when we went into the whole family sharing
:22:05. > :22:11.one room and none of us could believe it. It was just, we actually
:22:12. > :22:15.got there at eight PM and we just didn't know what we were looking at
:22:16. > :22:18.and how long we were going to be there. Nobody gives you any
:22:19. > :22:22.information. When removed from that, we had just come home from work and
:22:23. > :22:27.they said what are you doing here? We didn't have any notice we should
:22:28. > :22:30.be gone and then we got moved to another place which was much further
:22:31. > :22:36.than the children's schools. There was about a three-hour distance to
:22:37. > :22:43.go to school. Then we moved back to the burrow that we were in
:22:44. > :22:50.originally. How typical is this story? In your experience? Sadly,
:22:51. > :22:53.very common. There are places are there down the country having people
:22:54. > :23:07.in this situation every day. It's people who are living it. While we
:23:08. > :23:10.are clear that temporary accommodation is vital in ensuring
:23:11. > :23:17.that no family has no roof over their head, we need to find good
:23:18. > :23:24.quality accommodation as fast as possible. Not all of the properties
:23:25. > :23:30.were up to scratch? Who is responsible for making sure these
:23:31. > :23:35.guidelines is adhered to. Local authorities have limited room when
:23:36. > :23:39.there are not enough affordable homes to put people in and also
:23:40. > :23:43.housing benefits have been frozen so there is no way of topping up the
:23:44. > :23:48.rent in private sector. Yes, councils have a responsibility, some
:23:49. > :23:52.better than others. Really, they are operating in a situation where there
:23:53. > :23:56.is not much they can do. Should the priority always be given to families
:23:57. > :24:07.with children Mr Mark disruption to education in itself. -- families
:24:08. > :24:10.with children? The disruption to education in itself. No one was to
:24:11. > :24:14.see children growing up in a situation where they are being moved
:24:15. > :24:20.from pillar to post with no uncertainty. What has the impact
:24:21. > :24:26.been? Tell us the ages of your children. I have a seven-year-old,
:24:27. > :24:32.14-year-old and a 16-year-old. Their mental health has really suffered.
:24:33. > :24:36.Before this all started, I would say they would just like any other
:24:37. > :24:40.child. Right now, because they are so unsure, tomorrow we could be
:24:41. > :24:44.moving. We are living in a house today. Tomorrow, I could be moving.
:24:45. > :24:52.We don't know where or when. They find it hard to find friends. Should
:24:53. > :24:57.we talk to the neighbours? We might not be here tomorrow. They are so
:24:58. > :25:01.scared that I think they have suddenly become much closer to us
:25:02. > :25:06.because we are secure and we are the only thing that is sure in their
:25:07. > :25:10.lives. When removed from one bedroom to the house, they still save with
:25:11. > :25:17.us in one bedroom in the house for at least four or five months. Why
:25:18. > :25:23.don't you know when you are moving? Is it just a lack of communication?
:25:24. > :25:29.Yes. I think it is more like a nomadic life. Because the councils
:25:30. > :25:33.are trying to find accommodations, it is the newest accommodation that
:25:34. > :25:42.is more suitable to your family. That is what they are doing. Can I
:25:43. > :25:46.just ask, some people will be thinking, how is it that you got
:25:47. > :25:52.into this position in the first place? Needing to help someone else.
:25:53. > :25:55.You know this there is often a blame attached to people in your
:25:56. > :25:59.circumstances for some reason. Now you see how easy it is to slip to
:26:00. > :26:03.the other side where you do need help. That's what surprised us. In
:26:04. > :26:07.this particular vermin infested hotel, there were doctors,
:26:08. > :26:11.lecturers, everyone was working. There was no unemployed people. It
:26:12. > :26:16.was just a complete shock. When I think of homeless I think of people
:26:17. > :26:21.sleeping rough in the street, I don't think of families. It just
:26:22. > :26:30.got, it was a real eye-opener, that's I can say. It has certainly
:26:31. > :26:36.made me appreciate where I live. I think anyone is very vulnerable to
:26:37. > :26:43.this happening. It could happen to anyone. All it will take is just a
:26:44. > :26:46.lack of money. We were working and there is lots of people working and
:26:47. > :26:51.then although they are homeless, they are still working. It could
:26:52. > :26:57.happen to anyone, we are not special in any way. It wasn't until we were
:26:58. > :27:00.made homeless that I found that out. And the government says it is
:27:01. > :27:05.working hard to tackle the problem will stop it is not that work at the
:27:06. > :27:10.moment isn't what is needed. It needs to change now. We need urgent
:27:11. > :27:14.action. Yes, there has been some good announcement in the past few
:27:15. > :27:18.months from the government. And to build more homes. And that is very
:27:19. > :27:23.welcome. We look forward to working with them on that but we need more
:27:24. > :27:26.urgency and we need to make sure the government are not distracted from
:27:27. > :27:30.this mission, given everything else going on. We said the number of
:27:31. > :27:36.children in temporary accommodation has risen by a third. Do you see the
:27:37. > :27:41.trend reversing? No. It takes time to build homes and in the meantime,
:27:42. > :27:44.with rents so high, we need to lift the freeze on housing benefit
:27:45. > :27:48.because that is the only way we can make sure that people on low or
:27:49. > :27:55.ordinary incomes can pay their rent each month. Thank you all very much.

:28:11. > :29:24.This is Breakfast, with Naga Munchetty and Charlie

:29:34. > :29:35.Nearly a thousand children are being forced into temporary
:29:36. > :29:37.accommodation every month because more families are becoming
:29:38. > :29:39.homeless, according to councils in England.
:29:40. > :29:41.The Local Government Association says the number has increased
:29:42. > :29:49.It wants more powers to build what are described

:30:13. > :30:15.Boots the chemist has apologised for its response to a row
:30:16. > :30:17.about the cost it charges for the morning-after-pill.
:30:18. > :30:19.The chain initially rejected calls to reduce the price,
:30:20. > :30:22.saying it didn't want to encourage the misuse of emergency

:31:00. > :31:17.The 91-year-old American actor made the comments after he was chosen
:31:18. > :31:20.by BAFTA to receive The Britannia Award for Excellence in Television.
:31:21. > :31:23.The star has long been derided for his attempt at an East End
:31:24. > :31:27.accent, but this is the first time he has publicly apologised
:31:28. > :31:50.Charming to apologise. It is the "I" in that song that is wrong. I grew
:31:51. > :31:54.up as a child thinking he was from the East End. Did you believe Mary
:31:55. > :32:02.Poppins was real as well? Of course, she is! Apparently they are going to
:32:03. > :32:09.remake it, but how could you do it without the original cast? Anyway,
:32:10. > :32:17.can anyone stop Jordan Spieth? Not according to statistics. It is
:32:18. > :32:20.suggested he can tame all of the conditions and go on to win it.
:32:21. > :32:23.And so it's the American, Jordan Spieth, who heads the field
:32:24. > :32:25.at the halfway stage of the Open Championship.
:32:26. > :32:28.He negotiated some foul conditions at Royal Birkdale yesterday
:32:29. > :32:30.The two-time major winner, lies on six under par,
:32:31. > :32:34.two shots ahead of his nearest rival, despite playing in the worst
:32:35. > :32:39.He's three shots off the lead, after a consistent round yesterday.
:32:40. > :32:43.And after Rory McIlroy feared he might miss the cut in the first
:32:44. > :32:45.round, he's bounced back, into a tie for seventh place
:32:46. > :32:50.Anything around even par, conditions will bring a good score.
:32:51. > :32:53.I got off to the best possible start.
:32:54. > :33:10.It will be great to tee off late and have a lie-down in the morning,

:34:04. > :34:06.His preparations for the second round were less than ideal,

:34:10. > :34:11.Clothes, personal effects and jewellery were stolen
:34:12. > :34:15.but Stenson refused to blame that, for a poor round yesterday.
:34:16. > :34:18.Not too much on, you know, the effect of today's round,
:34:19. > :34:21.I would say, but being with the police rather than staying
:34:22. > :34:24.where you want to do, it was a difficult evening,

:35:53. > :35:59.I knew there would be many Jamaicans. For me, I am excited to
:36:00. > :36:02.come into this. I will just do my best as always, and that is it.

:36:57. > :36:59.I think this year it has been all about enjoying it.
:37:00. > :37:03.Last year was such a serious year with it in the Olympic year.
:37:04. > :37:05.I just wanted the best shot I could have.
:37:06. > :37:14.Wigan completed their regular Super League season with a crushing
:37:15. > :37:16.34-0 victory over Leeds Wigan had already qualified
:37:17. > :37:18.for the Super Eights, but ran in seven tries
:37:19. > :37:22.There were wins elsewhere for Leigh and Hull FC,
:37:23. > :37:38.After a half century, in his first game back for Surrey,
:37:39. > :37:42.Kevin Pietersen was brought back down to earth last night.
:37:43. > :37:45.Struggling with a calf injury, he made just nine, in their latest
:37:46. > :37:50.In his nine ball innings, he also found time to run out one
:37:51. > :37:53.Surrey did manage to win though by 15 runs.
:37:54. > :38:01.But, yes, a bit embarrassing. Last weekend, we had the British Grand
:38:02. > :38:16.Prix at Silverstone. This weekend, it is the British Speedway Grand
:38:17. > :38:18.Prix in Cardiff. Tai Woffinden is in fifth place going into it. It should
:38:19. > :38:27.be fantastic. His press briefings gave birth
:38:28. > :38:30.to the phrase "alternative facts" and led to much mocking on social
:38:31. > :38:33.media, but Sean Spicer's brief but turbulent time as the face
:38:34. > :38:36.of President Trump's administration Mr Spicer quit his role
:38:37. > :38:40.as The White House Press Secretary, reportedly in response
:38:41. > :38:42.to an organisational shake-up. So where does that leave
:38:43. > :38:44.the Trump administration? We'll look at the implications
:38:45. > :38:47.in a moment, but first let's remind ourselves of some of his most
:38:48. > :38:52.memorable moments. This was the largest audience to
:38:53. > :39:01.ever witnessed an inauguration period! Both in person and around
:39:02. > :39:06.the globe. These attempts to lessen it are shameful and wrong. The
:39:07. > :39:16.default narrative is always negative and is demoralising. Someone as this
:39:17. > :39:29., this despicable, like Hitler, they did not even sink to chemical
:39:30. > :39:37.weapons. Bashar... Al... Al Assad. You have mispronounced his name.
:39:38. > :39:45.Bashar al-Assad. So, Donald Trump puts Russian salad dressing on his
:39:46. > :39:59.salad and suddenly he is connected to Russia. Put your hand up like a
:40:00. > :40:07.big boys. Are you OK? I can sense the love-in the room. Sean! Sean!
:40:08. > :40:19.Sean! Sean! Donald Trump says it is all fine.
:40:20. > :40:24.With us now is James Boys. Are you surprised he has gone so soon? It
:40:25. > :40:28.has been on the cards for a long time, to be honest. He was the face
:40:29. > :40:34.of the Donald Trump administration coming in in January. In the last
:40:35. > :40:40.few weeks he has been replaced by his deputy. His replacement had been
:40:41. > :40:44.touted for a while. Those briefings have gone off camera for a while. It
:40:45. > :40:49.was acknowledged Donald Trump was not happy with how the presentation
:40:50. > :40:56.had gone. That clip showed he was mocked by everyone on Saturday Night
:40:57. > :40:59.Live. That did not go down well at the White House. For the last couple
:41:00. > :41:06.of weeks and months, many people have been going in to be
:41:07. > :41:10.interviewed. Some from Fox News. His demise had been forecast for a
:41:11. > :41:14.while. To what extent was that adversarial and sometimes comic
:41:15. > :41:20.approach to those press briefings, to what extent in the early days was
:41:21. > :41:23.that what Donald Trump wanted? Presumably, it was the first day
:41:24. > :41:27.that they were arguing over the numbers at the inauguration. That
:41:28. > :41:31.set the benchmark for what... Presumably, the White House thought
:41:32. > :41:35.that was the right approach, or he would have been gone a long time
:41:36. > :41:42.ago. Possibly. This guy has a great relationship with the White House
:41:43. > :41:49.Chief of Staff, Reince Priebus. That kind of performance, you are right,
:41:50. > :41:52.as you refer to it, it is carried on last night with his new boss. He
:41:53. > :41:58.came in, the new White House communications director. Donald
:41:59. > :42:01.Trump want someone who with an entertainer at the podium. In the
:42:02. > :42:06.media that is fine. By the press needs someone who with an honest
:42:07. > :42:09.broker, someone who can convey the word of the White House. -- but.
:42:10. > :42:15.Increasingly, there was a gulf between reality and what the press
:42:16. > :42:20.man was having to say. What about his replacement? A Wall Street
:42:21. > :42:25.financier, a business background, Anthony Scaramucci, who has already
:42:26. > :42:28.been up on the podium. Is he confident? Certainly he is
:42:29. > :42:33.confident. There is no doubt about it. He will do what Donald Trump
:42:34. > :42:37.wants. The problem is you have a massive rift in the administration.
:42:38. > :42:51.Donald Trump wanted him, Sean Spicer did not come to that idea. Steve
:42:52. > :42:57.Bannon and Priebus didn't. It is debatable how long he stays. What
:42:58. > :43:05.about the relationship with the press? To say that is fractious is
:43:06. > :43:13.an understatement. No doubt. Is it his job to smooth that relationship
:43:14. > :43:17.out? Anthony? The challenge fundamentally is Donald Trump wants
:43:18. > :43:23.someone who can go out there and be quiet, you know, old and engaging
:43:24. > :43:26.with the media. I think Donald Trump in the White House has a different
:43:27. > :43:29.take about what it is the relationship should be with the
:43:30. > :43:32.media, the fake media, as he constantly refers to it to be
:43:33. > :43:42.increasingly, media outlets, including conservative ones, Fox,
:43:43. > :43:46.The Wall Street Journal, they understand what is going on. Some
:43:47. > :43:53.have said they are lying. Is Donald Trump is losing the Rupert Murdoch
:43:54. > :44:01.press, it is questionable where it goes from there. Umm... Shall we see
:44:02. > :44:05.that again? It is an interesting reminder of... Sorry, I will ask you
:44:06. > :44:10.one more question, James. You mentioned the administration. Just
:44:11. > :44:15.seeing this tweet, he will go on to bigger and better things, I just
:44:16. > :44:21.wonder if the staffing levels are collapsing around him. Are they
:44:22. > :44:25.collapsing? Is he just saying, right, a clean slate, I am starting
:44:26. > :44:32.again. His departure is the most visible departure from the White
:44:33. > :44:38.House. We have lost a Federal Bureau of Investigation director. A White
:44:39. > :44:42.House press man. So many others. Donald Trump has to set the reset
:44:43. > :44:47.button. He has been in office six months. Usually the administration
:44:48. > :44:56.would be touting great success. So far they have put someone on The
:44:57. > :45:01.Supreme Court, not unsubstantial, but they have not repealed Obamacare
:45:02. > :45:12.and have not done anything else. Keep us entertained. The weather.
:45:13. > :45:19.This weekend will have sunshine and showers. Today, the most frequent
:45:20. > :45:22.showers. Sunday will be better. There will be some sunshine between
:45:23. > :45:25.them and they will be light winds, which is good news after the
:45:26. > :45:31.atrocious windy weather in the west of the UK. Brightening up thanks to
:45:32. > :45:37.this. This weather front goes north and clear its way east. Sunshine to
:45:38. > :45:40.begin the day in central areas and also across northern Scotland.
:45:41. > :45:45.Northern Scotland doing well today. Staying dry with sunshine. Turning
:45:46. > :45:49.warm. Central and southern areas have a weather front bringing
:45:50. > :45:53.outbreaks of rain. Northern Ireland, the rain trying to get into eastern
:45:54. > :46:01.areas at times during the morning. Drying up in the afternoon. Sunshine
:46:02. > :46:07.in central areas. Mist and fog. Showers in the south-west. Showers
:46:08. > :46:10.will continue to go north and east. Through the afternoon becoming more
:46:11. > :46:14.widespread. It is this south-west quadrant, south Wales, seeing the
:46:15. > :46:19.heaviest and most thundery showers. Elsewhere, some good spells of
:46:20. > :46:24.sunshine, especially in Northern Ireland and the north of Scotland.
:46:25. > :46:29.Possibly 21 to the south. Under those showers, it will feel more
:46:30. > :46:35.fresh. 17 degrees. There could be a show at Royal Birkdale. 19 degrees.
:46:36. > :46:41.Nice in the sunshine. Variable cloud and showers. Sunshine and showers.
:46:42. > :46:45.They should tend to die away in England and Wales in the evening and
:46:46. > :46:52.overnight as sky is clear. Turning chilly. There will be some mist and
:46:53. > :46:56.fog to start Sunday morning. A good deal of dry weather and sunshine.
:46:57. > :47:01.Through the afternoon, showers developing once again. Turning
:47:02. > :47:07.scattered. Some areas turning dry. In the sunshine with light winds,
:47:08. > :47:11.fairly pleasant. 23 degrees. That fine weather continues on into
:47:12. > :47:17.Monday and Tuesday. That she dry things out. Good sunny spells.
:47:18. > :47:23.Feeling warm. Temperatures widely in the low 20s. Back to you. Thank you.
:47:24. > :47:27.Now it's time for Newswatch with Samira Ahmed.
:47:28. > :47:29.Hello and welcome to Newswatch with me, Samira Amehd.
:47:30. > :47:32.Coming up: News presenters featured prominently in the BBC's list of
:47:33. > :47:34.its best paid on-air stuff this week,
:47:35. > :47:45.And how will the BBC deal with the gap in pay revealed
:47:46. > :47:52.Wednesday was a difficult day for the BBC.
:47:53. > :47:59.As ordered by the government, against its wishes,
:48:00. > :48:01.the corporation published the names and salary bands
:48:02. > :48:05.of all of its oniair employees paid more than ?150,000 a year.
:48:06. > :48:06.This led to some uncomfortable interviews,
:48:07. > :48:09.with those unused to being on the receiving end of questions.
:48:10. > :48:14.On paper, absolutely nothing that justifies that huge amount of money,
:48:15. > :48:18.if you compare me with lots of other people who do visible good,
:48:19. > :48:21.a doctor saves a child's live or a nurse who comforts a dying person.
:48:22. > :48:29.I've never for a second doubted how lucky I am to work in there
:48:30. > :48:32.and I'm just sorry, I think the BBC is really hurting today.
:48:33. > :48:35.John Humphrys and Jeremy Vine there, who were the two leading
:48:36. > :48:37.news presenters on the list, earning over ?600,000
:48:38. > :48:44.They were followed by the likes of Huw Edwards on more than ?550,000.
:48:45. > :48:52.Fiona Bruce with more than ?350,000 and Laura Kuenssberg on over
:48:53. > :48:54.?200,000, who was in same range as Andrew Neil,
:48:55. > :49:01.Many BBC outlets indulged in what some viewers felt
:49:02. > :49:04.was washing their dirty linen in public.
:49:05. > :49:09.Including Breakfast, with this surreal self-referential
:49:10. > :49:11.Paper Review, presented awkwardly by on-the-list Naga Munchetty
:49:12. > :49:19.Not every day the BBC Breakfast sofa makes the front page
:49:20. > :49:26.Many of the papers, as Naga's said, looking at some of the detail
:49:27. > :49:28.and some of the discrepancies highlighted.
:49:29. > :49:35.Bitter recriminations at the politically correct BBC
:49:36. > :49:39.as this gulf between men's and women's pay is revealed.
:49:40. > :49:41.So that's us on Newswatch, broadcast during Breakfast,
:49:42. > :49:43.showing a clip of Breakfast, featuring a newspaper
:49:44. > :49:49.Apologies for adding to the self absorption which on Wednesday
:49:50. > :50:06.And another Twitter user called Jerome thought...
:50:07. > :50:13.Others felt the difference between men's and women's earnings
:50:14. > :50:15.revealed by the list was being poured over to excess,
:50:16. > :50:31.Well, Amol Rajan has been reporting on this story all week,
:50:32. > :50:34.as the BBC's media editor and he joins me now.
:50:35. > :50:39.I mean, maybe I have a certain advantage to many,
:50:40. > :50:43.that I have not in here that long so I haven't become best friends
:50:44. > :50:46.with various of the people that I was reporting on.
:50:47. > :50:49.You are talking about people like Huw Edwards, that you have to
:50:50. > :50:52.end up working with, but you just try very, very hard.
:50:53. > :50:55.You come across a lots awkward situations in journalism,
:50:56. > :50:58.you just try very, very hard to think, how would I cover this as
:50:59. > :51:02.an organization if it wasn't the BBC, if I was somewhere else,
:51:03. > :51:04.and you try and do it straight down the line.
:51:05. > :51:07.You have, of course, come from newspapers, the Independent in
:51:08. > :51:10.particular, has it affected how you view the row over BBC pay?
:51:11. > :51:13.I don't think it has affected how I view the row.
:51:14. > :51:18.I do not appraoch this as a company man.
:51:19. > :51:20.It is a juicy story, it's fantastically gossipy
:51:21. > :51:24.At it's core, this is a story which is a list of names,
:51:25. > :51:27.a list of numbers and I find it completely fascinating
:51:28. > :51:30.so as an old-fashioned hack, I think this is a really...
:51:31. > :51:32.I wouldn't say sexy story but a juicy one.
:51:33. > :51:35.A lot of viewers say there was too much self-flagellating coverage,
:51:36. > :51:39.and the media talking about itself at the expense of other news.
:51:40. > :51:42.I don't think it was self-flagellating.
:51:43. > :51:46.If you're the BBC you have to cover yourself in a way that tries to be
:51:47. > :51:53.I had two interview with Tony Hall on the News at Ten,
:51:54. > :51:57.two nights in a row - there's no way I was going to let the director
:51:58. > :52:01.general get on to the News at Ten - which is a prestige bulletin -
:52:02. > :52:06.So, yeah, when I was editing the packages, I made sure that we
:52:07. > :52:14.were seen to be giving them a hard time but I don't think
:52:15. > :52:16.There is a hugely important public interest story,
:52:17. > :52:21.There is a question, did we do too much?
:52:22. > :52:24.That is complicated one, because it has to do with what else
:52:25. > :52:30.But I think we got it roughly right - I would say that, wouldn't I -
:52:31. > :52:33.but broadly speaking I'm pretty satisfied we got it about right.
:52:34. > :52:35.There is also an accusation from some viewers that
:52:36. > :52:38.news coverage actually focused too much on the gender gap
:52:39. > :52:40.to distract from the sheer size of the salaries?
:52:41. > :52:43.Were you under any pressure to report the story in any way?
:52:44. > :52:45.I was under absolute no pressure whatsoever.
:52:46. > :52:51.I can tell you, hand on heart, no one tried to...
:52:52. > :52:54.Maybe to go back to your first question, maybe you're conscious
:52:55. > :52:59.but I came under no editorial pressure whatsoever to make sure
:53:00. > :53:04.Having been a kind of media adviser and having thought about the cons
:53:05. > :53:07.in the previous job and having gone through some pretty difficult things
:53:08. > :53:09.in my journalistic career, like shutting a newspaper,
:53:10. > :53:13.I was obviously thinking to myself, what is the line that the BBC
:53:14. > :53:18.And I'm conscious that they feel they have a decent story to tell
:53:19. > :53:21.on gender - Tony Hall in particular because he has made
:53:22. > :53:25.So I tried to make sure I did not focus too much just on gender
:53:26. > :53:28.and was kind of thinking about what the audience,
:53:29. > :53:31.what the public would care about and at base, if you're finding out
:53:32. > :53:34.that Chris Evans is paid ?2.2 million you think,
:53:35. > :53:37.That was at the forefront of my mind.
:53:38. > :53:50.And also not just gender but there's other issues revealed by this list,
:53:51. > :53:54.like diversity, like class and I made sure I got those into my live
:53:55. > :53:56.for the air for the ten o'clock news.
:53:57. > :54:00.Well, many of those who contacted Newswatch expressed their dismay
:54:01. > :54:02.and disgust about the levels of salary revealed,
:54:03. > :54:05.and there was also concern about the gender disparity in pay -
:54:06. > :54:08.with the top seven on the list all men,
:54:09. > :54:11.and on the issue of race - the top 24 are all white.
:54:12. > :54:16.One might assume that people are paid partly according
:54:17. > :54:19.to their experience, to the amount of work done,
:54:20. > :54:22.For instance, John Humphrys and Jeremy Vine
:54:23. > :54:25.both present TV quiz shows which contribute to their wage bills.
:54:26. > :54:27.Trickier factors are how replaceable each person is
:54:28. > :54:29.and how much they would earn elsewhere.
:54:30. > :54:32.BBC says that, though it often pays below the market rate,
:54:33. > :54:47.But that cuts no ice with David Goodchild who told us...
:54:48. > :54:55.Well, the BBC direct general, Lord Hall, responded
:54:56. > :54:58.to all these points in an interview he gave on Wednesday.
:54:59. > :55:01.He said the gender pay gap was lower on the BBC
:55:02. > :55:06.and pledged equal pay on the air between men and women by 2020.
:55:07. > :55:08.He pointed to the increased competition to the BBC
:55:09. > :55:10.for presenters, not just domestically, but from companies,
:55:11. > :55:13.such as Apple and Amazon, and he said he'd continue efforts to
:55:14. > :55:18.We are constantly working at ensuring that we get
:55:19. > :55:21.the balance right between our public, who want to have great shows
:55:22. > :55:23.presented by stars and great presenters,
:55:24. > :55:26.and them also wanting to know that their money -
:55:27. > :55:35.is being spent properly and that is always a balance.
:55:36. > :55:37.Mark Damazer has worked at the BBC for many years,
:55:38. > :55:40.including as deputy director of BBC News,
:55:41. > :55:45.He is now Master at Saint Peters College Oxford.
:55:46. > :55:51.You used to be management and make these kind of pay decisions.
:55:52. > :55:52.Were you surprise by the numbers revealed?
:55:53. > :55:58.I thought there might be a gender gap but it was considerably more
:55:59. > :56:00.embarrassing and bigger than I had anticipated.
:56:01. > :56:02.Some of the individual figures, of course, caused some surprise.
:56:03. > :56:05.Not necessarily in news, sometimes outside.
:56:06. > :56:13.I can see entirely from the point of view of an average licence payer
:56:14. > :56:15.that they would have looked on average high.
:56:16. > :56:17.But in terms of negotiating these one by one,
:56:18. > :56:23.Several viewers have described some of these salaries as obscene,
:56:24. > :56:25.and they are eye-watering, aren't they?
:56:26. > :56:28.Well, it is a truth and it is not necessarily a happy truth
:56:29. > :56:31.that the way that people get paid across the economy is not
:56:32. > :56:35.a reflection of moral virtue or moral value.
:56:36. > :56:40.It would be hard to say that a nurse or a policewoman,
:56:41. > :56:43.or a fire officer is not worth more by way of moral value
:56:44. > :56:47.than they stand in the economic hierarchy and you have to take that
:56:48. > :56:51.to one side and look at it as a market-based calculation.
:56:52. > :56:54.Once you get to that, and strip out the notion that these
:56:55. > :56:57.people are intrinsically more virtuous,
:56:58. > :57:01.then the figures make some more sense.
:57:02. > :57:04.But people still think, you know, the BBC is a public organization
:57:05. > :57:08.and in the end there is no justification for a news reader
:57:09. > :57:10.to be paid half a million pounds a year, is there?
:57:11. > :57:14.Well, the problem with that is that, if other people are paying a great
:57:15. > :57:18.deal more - and I'm afraid the BBC has to operate by trying to get
:57:19. > :57:22.the best talent that they can for a price that is always likely to
:57:23. > :57:26.be discounted to what everybody else is paying - but it has to be
:57:27. > :57:29.reasonable enough to get people into those job and keep them,

:57:33. > :57:34.and this is difficult and embarrassing but I think
:57:35. > :57:37.the BBC's right to have a policy that says we need talent
:57:38. > :57:43.A lot of viewers and a lot of BBC staff, women, people from minority
:57:44. > :57:46.backgrounds, have been quite pleased to see these numbers
:57:47. > :57:49.Transparency is quite revelaing, isn't it?
:57:50. > :57:52.I was on the BBC trust for a couple of years

:58:06. > :58:09.So although I think that some good, because of the
:58:10. > :58:13.pressure that will now be on the BBC management has come out this because
:58:14. > :58:15.the gender gap will have to be sorted.
:58:16. > :58:20.In some cases it is likely to lead to inflation.
:58:21. > :58:24.I don't think that Tony Hall can admit to that, but is go to be very
:58:25. > :58:27.hard to do this if you do not inflate some people's salaries,
:58:28. > :58:34.for the BBC's total pay bill, and it may not be good for people
:58:35. > :58:37.worrying about overpayment in general, if they think everybody's

:58:57. > :59:00.that will, in some way, compress the gap between the males and the
:59:01. > :59:04.females but I think the BBC cannot go on like this even if it is true
:59:05. > :59:08.that - and I think it almost certainly is - the BBC's record is
:59:09. > :59:11.more defensible than most if not all of that broadcasters and many

:05:36. > :05:40.completely changed their position late last night. Let's take you back
:05:41. > :05:43.to where this began. The British pregnancy advisory service provide
:05:44. > :05:47.abortions in the UK. They called on all retailers to cut their prices,
:05:48. > :05:51.saying in Europe you can get the morning after pill for a fraction of
:05:52. > :05:57.the cost here. In their words, that was not right. They focused on
:05:58. > :06:05.Boots, because their common is the cheapest options is just over ?26.
:06:06. > :06:11.In Tesco and Superdrug, you can get it for around about ?13, half the
:06:12. > :06:14.price. Then you have on Thursday, this statement from Bsaying they
:06:15. > :06:21.were not going to cut their prices and the reason for that was they did
:06:22. > :06:28.what want to encourage the misuse or overuse of the pale. That led to a
:06:29. > :06:33.critical letter from over 30 female Labour MPs who accuse Bof treating
:06:34. > :06:41.women like children, and taking a moral position, an whether or not to
:06:42. > :06:46.take the pill. Then they said in a statement that they were truly sorry
:06:47. > :06:51.for their poor choice of words that caused offence and misunderstanding.
:06:52. > :06:52.And Boots says it will seek cheap alternatives in terms of the morning
:06:53. > :06:55.after pill in their stores. The outgoing White House Press
:06:56. > :06:58.Secretary Sean Spicer has told a US television network that he resigned,

:11:18. > :11:21.as yet. For the first time, not only do
:11:22. > :11:24.we have a female head of state and Prime Minister,
:11:25. > :11:26.but the country's most senior judge is also a woman -
:11:27. > :11:29.after Baroness Hale was appointed An advocate for greater diversity
:11:30. > :11:34.within the legal profession, she's described her appointment
:11:35. > :11:41.as an honour and a challenge. She'll be officially
:11:42. > :11:43.sworn in in October. Holly Hamilton has been looking back
:11:44. > :11:53.at her illustrious career. Predominantly white and male
:11:54. > :11:58.Briton's traditionally now has a woman in charge for the first time.
:11:59. > :12:01.The appointment of Baroness Hale furthers a long career in setting
:12:02. > :12:04.milestone. The first woman appointment come to the Law
:12:05. > :12:08.Commission, the first woman to join the Supreme Court, never outspoken
:12:09. > :12:12.on issues of diversity and equality. Somebody said that we had actually
:12:13. > :12:18.stripped the building of its robust masculinity. That is now as a woman,
:12:19. > :12:23.I'm really quite pleased about that. I think some femininity, even in a
:12:24. > :12:30.court building, is not inappropriate. She is ruled on a
:12:31. > :12:33.number of cases, now notably the government was good time to Brexit
:12:34. > :12:37.last year. As a state school educated woman in the House of
:12:38. > :12:43.Lords, there are few like her. How apt that she should create her own
:12:44. > :12:47.coat of arms with the motto... Women are equal to everything.
:12:48. > :12:49.We're joined now by Dana Denis-Smith, former lawyer
:12:50. > :12:53.and founder of the First 100 Years female law project.
:12:54. > :13:02.Lovely to have you with us. Give us your reaction to the appointment of
:13:03. > :13:06.Baroness Hale. We are delighted to have a woman at the top of the
:13:07. > :13:16.judiciary in the UK. In my view, it is part of a line of achievements
:13:17. > :13:19.for women in law. It is part of 100 years in history for women in law, a
:13:20. > :13:23.great crowning moment, if you like. But there's more to her than just
:13:24. > :13:26.being a woman? We've seen her career, what will she bring to the
:13:27. > :13:31.job and why is this position is so significant? One of the first things
:13:32. > :13:37.that I would say she brings is that she brings along another woman. I
:13:38. > :13:40.think it's important she is a woman, not just because she makes it
:13:41. > :13:43.justice in a different way, it's the symbolic value of having a woman
:13:44. > :13:48.such an important position. It will be joined by a second woman, that is
:13:49. > :13:51.again a first for women in law. It is important that women feel if they
:13:52. > :13:56.enter the profession, they can really rise to the top of it. I
:13:57. > :14:04.think it is invaluable to all of us, as a society, to have this kind of
:14:05. > :14:08.role model in place. In terms of how she works, she is an incredible
:14:09. > :14:12.lawyer, and there is no difference between her ability and any man's
:14:13. > :14:16.ability. So no change there in terms of what she can bring as a lawyer,
:14:17. > :14:19.but in terms of what she brings in society is an incredible
:14:20. > :14:26.achievement. A great role model. She has been lined up for this job for
:14:27. > :14:31.some time, the predecessor was almost seen someone to take the job
:14:32. > :14:34.that she didn't have it? Can you explain that? She has been in this
:14:35. > :14:42.vice president position for four years, I believe. I'm not sure she
:14:43. > :14:48.was... She was definitely expected to be appointed as the replacement.
:14:49. > :14:55.It's an amazing... She's led the Supreme Court in the credible way --
:14:56. > :14:58.he's led the Supreme Court. In terms of power decisions, transparency,
:14:59. > :15:04.accessibility, very often we find that lawyers are seen as a very
:15:05. > :15:11.separated professions and the rest of the society. The but they are
:15:12. > :15:16.participants in everyday decisions that affect all of society. So it is
:15:17. > :15:20.a normal progression, she has been executive of the court, it is only
:15:21. > :15:24.normal that she'd take centre stage. But I'm not sure there is any
:15:25. > :15:29.controversy other than she is so fantastic candidate for the role.
:15:30. > :15:32.The Supreme Court of anyone watching now who is thinking about having
:15:33. > :15:39.hierarchy of the court system works, what will she be in charge of? What
:15:40. > :15:43.will she be influencing as president of Supreme Court? The Supreme Court
:15:44. > :15:50.typically doesn't fit, all 12 judges sit at the same time. There are
:15:51. > :15:56.important decisions to be taken out who here's what cases, and there are
:15:57. > :16:01.dozens of specialisms, and justices on the Supreme Court. One is about
:16:02. > :16:05.family law, but there are other disputes that are being heard, from
:16:06. > :16:11.contract to speak to, located tax cases, to family law. There are some
:16:12. > :16:14.decisions to be taken around who here's what cases. And should we
:16:15. > :16:18.would be involved in that kind of decision? And cases before she has
:16:19. > :16:29.a gay couple, a man wanting the same rights as a wife in a heterosexual
:16:30. > :16:35.married couple. She has also had a chilly mag reviews on adoption that
:16:36. > :16:41.have proven to be controversial? She is an expert in family law, that is
:16:42. > :16:44.her area of expertise. As an academic, she has always been
:16:45. > :16:48.involved in this area but I can't think of anybody better than her to
:16:49. > :16:55.rule on such decisions, even when she had a dissenting opinion. Which
:16:56. > :16:59.means that the decision went against her, ultimately. She has an
:17:00. > :17:05.incredible wealth of experience in the field, the show she is very well
:17:06. > :17:09.placed in family law, whether a gay couple rights or children's rights,
:17:10. > :17:13.it all falls in family law. Thanks for joining us. Thank you for having
:17:14. > :17:15.me. Here's Stav with a look
:17:16. > :17:26.at this morning's weather. Hello. It's a weekend of sunshine
:17:27. > :17:29.and showers, with low-pressure nearby. Some showers can be heavy

:17:34. > :17:41.sunshine between and the are lighter. Good news from what we
:17:42. > :17:44.heard yesterday about the gales causing damage. Pictures in the
:17:45. > :17:48.English can show heavy rain, this weather front is bringing rain to
:17:49. > :17:51.the south-west and the West yesterday, its journey northwards,
:17:52. > :17:54.with a cluster of showers pushing towards the south-west. The weather
:17:55. > :17:56.front is bringing rain to the south-west and the West yesterday,
:17:57. > :17:58.it's journeying northwards, with a cluster of showers pushing towards
:17:59. > :18:00.the south-west. The website is also struggling central and southern
:18:01. > :18:04.parts of Scotland. But in North Scotland, it stays dry. The same for
:18:05. > :18:08.Northern Ireland, there is that rain, some heavy rain across
:18:09. > :18:12.Scotland. It plays in eastern England as well. Some sunshine
:18:13. > :18:16.behind a bar to the south, showers expected to come lacking in to the
:18:17. > :18:21.morning. They were gradually turn heavier. Notice the wind arrows of
:18:22. > :18:25.water and light winds, breezy to the far south-west but the showers are
:18:26. > :18:29.going to be the main feature across this part of the country. So heavy,
:18:30. > :18:35.thundery downpours across England and southern Scotland, and some

:18:39. > :18:44.northern Scotland. The best sunshine and the South but generally high
:18:45. > :18:48.teen temperatures. At the opening Royal Birkdale, we could see showers
:18:49. > :18:55.during the course today, and tomorrow temperatures around 18
:18:56. > :18:58.Celsius. They rattle on this evening creating difficult driving
:18:59. > :19:02.conditions but they eased up down overnight in southern areas, if you
:19:03. > :19:07.showers across Scotland and northern England. Also quite chilly, with a
:19:08. > :19:12.bit of mist and fog on Sunday, but drier and brighter. Sunday looking
:19:13. > :19:16.the better day of the two, showers developing widely across the
:19:17. > :19:21.afternoon, the odd heavy one but some good long dry gaps of sunshine,
:19:22. > :19:25.warm as well with highs of 22 degrees. Then high pressure builds
:19:26. > :19:31.on into next week, on Tuesday, and the strong late delay: July sunshine
:19:32. > :19:32.will put temperatures up to mid-20s. Looking good for the start of the
:19:33. > :19:40.week. You're watching
:19:41. > :19:42.Breakfast from BBC News. Time now for a look
:19:43. > :19:56.at the newspapers. LBC presenter Ian Collins is here
:19:57. > :20:01.to tell us what's caught his eye. The Daily Telegraph says it's
:20:02. > :20:07.the end of first class travel as Chris Grayling attempts to ease
:20:08. > :20:09.rush hour pressure by stopping The Sun carries the story
:20:10. > :20:23.about the death of Pudsey the dog. He was such a big star all those
:20:24. > :20:24.years ago on stage. He has sadly died. Quite a bit of coverage on
:20:25. > :20:41.that story today. Dick Van Dyke has apologised for his
:20:42. > :20:47.atrocious cockney accent. And hard left Labour activists have plotted
:20:48. > :20:50.to remove the deputy leader Tom Watson for alleged disloyalty.
:20:51. > :20:53.And finally The Guardian says Europe has been supplied a list
:20:54. > :21:08.How are you doing? I'm all right. Not bad. Apparently the owner has a
:21:09. > :21:14.new dog. Will they change the name to Pudsey? That's what they're
:21:15. > :21:24.saying. They are saying she has another dog called Sully. Butler.
:21:25. > :21:29.That's good, isn't it? People deal with loss of their pets in different
:21:30. > :21:32.ways. But if you call the dog the new dog, it's going to have a
:21:33. > :21:38.different name? She will train it. She was good training dog. Yeah, but
:21:39. > :21:43.if you start monkeying around with the dogs then all hell breaks loose.
:21:44. > :21:50.How is a little child at the moment? Snuggled up? She's very well. I'm
:21:51. > :21:55.told he's having a grumpy morning. He's out of nappies. Where you part
:21:56. > :22:02.of the whole nappy... Though the reason I ask was this story has
:22:03. > :22:07.popped up. Jacob Rees-Mogg, the MP, saying he has never changed a nappy.
:22:08. > :22:12.He has never changed a nappy because he has a nanny who has been with the
:22:13. > :22:17.family for 52 years, he has six kids so she's changed a lot of nappies.
:22:18. > :22:21.She is on the record book for nappy changing probably. But he's never
:22:22. > :22:24.change one. This is interesting because what other correlations
:22:25. > :22:30.here, I don't think it too tenuous, Jacob Rhys-Mogg could be future
:22:31. > :22:33.leader of the Tory party. And I met him this week. He is a heck of a
:22:34. > :22:41.nice man. He's got that kind of Stephen Friar Tuck Varney, dry wit.
:22:42. > :22:47.How ever, whether he's likely to enamel working-class people to vote
:22:48. > :22:53.for him, there is an out of touch sent. Better than him lying about it
:22:54. > :22:59.though? There is a brutal honesty about it, look at Jeremy Corbyn and
:23:00. > :23:02.it's a guy from an affluent background, nearly 70-year-old man,
:23:03. > :23:10.students managed to like him. Good Rees Mogg turned that around? What I
:23:11. > :23:15.find curious about men who changed -- say they've never changed
:23:16. > :23:19.nappies. There are occasions where you're on your own at the nappy
:23:20. > :23:24.needs changing. If nanny is out, it's a day off, what happens then?
:23:25. > :23:31.You call the Butler. You call the Butler? But there are occasions...
:23:32. > :23:42.I you say I'm not doing that. In the election campaign, he has a Butler.
:23:43. > :23:48.Do you think the Butler changes the nappies? Between the Butler and the
:23:49. > :23:53.nannies, they've got it covered. I don't have a segue to homoeopathic
:23:54. > :24:00.remedies. It's a story you picked up the NHS withdrawing funding. They've
:24:01. > :24:05.spent millions on something that is not proven to work. Everyone has a
:24:06. > :24:10.story about rose petals or Lavender or a compound they take or sniff and
:24:11. > :24:17.it doesn't good. But actually in terms of reviewed medicines and
:24:18. > :24:19.benefits, when it comes to homoeopathy, there really is no
:24:20. > :24:25.evidence to suggest this stuff actually works. The NHS perhaps
:24:26. > :24:29.doing their best to cover all bases over the years, spending ?190
:24:30. > :24:33.million on birth and it probably has to go. We've talked about the drones
:24:34. > :24:39.story this morning. Is that something is that is a step forward?
:24:40. > :24:44.I can't believe you can buy a drone on their website and fly at around
:24:45. > :24:50.this guy. As in the camp believe... It's almost as big as this table, in
:24:51. > :24:54.some cases. There are implications, not least finding is parallel with a
:24:55. > :25:02.747 on the weighty IB is. That is not good for safety. If you attach
:25:03. > :25:12.Amnesty drones and fly around looking at your neighbour's Gardens
:25:13. > :25:18.-- attach cameras to drones. But you have to upload your information and
:25:19. > :25:22.register as an official drone user. And second hand? There's always
:25:23. > :25:25.somebody flogging a drone somewhere, isn't there, I'm sure. But it is
:25:26. > :25:29.extraordinary because there are issues of safety with prisons and
:25:30. > :25:33.flying mobile phones and drugs into prisons. All sorts of things like
:25:34. > :25:37.that. But I find it strange that you can buy one and start flying stuff
:25:38. > :25:45.around this guy. We will talk to you in the next hour. Thank you.
:25:46. > :25:47.Banks and financial services firms are creating products that
:25:48. > :25:50.are complex and misleading to try and prevent customers shopping
:25:51. > :25:52.around effectively - that's according to a financial
:25:53. > :25:55.In an uncompromising report, the Financial Services Consumer
:25:56. > :25:57.Panel says people are inhibited from switching their current account
:25:58. > :26:00.or insurer, which can mean they end up with a worse deal.
:26:01. > :26:06.Paul Lewis from Radio 4's Money Box programme has more on this.
:26:07. > :26:13.This is one of your favourite subjects isn't it? About the extent
:26:14. > :26:18.to which people do not move around financial products to their own
:26:19. > :26:23.advantage, effectively. Is it partly because they are not told what is
:26:24. > :26:28.possible? It's partly that. As this consumer panel says: most people
:26:29. > :26:31.doing it it is quite boring. They shouldn't have to spend their time
:26:32. > :26:35.moving every account and every product they have. As you say, it is
:26:36. > :26:42.an compromising report. Let me read you it, they inhibit customer's
:26:43. > :26:48.ability to move around because of a complicated and misleading. So you
:26:49. > :26:52.can move around but they try to stop us by making it too difficult to
:26:53. > :26:56.work out of getting a better deal or not. So watch at the banks, these
:26:57. > :27:00.companies involved, be doing that they are not doing? The panel
:27:01. > :27:04.recommends that there should be regulations to make sure the prices
:27:05. > :27:07.are simple and clear and can Powerball. Take overdrafts, every
:27:08. > :27:13.one of the major banks has a different set of rules. It's
:27:14. > :27:16.impossible to see which would be better for you as an individual if
:27:17. > :27:22.you are someone who goes into overdraft. They wanted to be much
:27:23. > :27:27.simpler. In a significant move, they say people who do not switch should
:27:28. > :27:32.not be penalised. I've been on here before saying if you just little car
:27:33. > :27:35.insurance go from one to another and another year another year, it will
:27:36. > :27:40.go up and up up. They said those practices should be banned by the
:27:41. > :27:44.regulators. It is a tough report. You will notice. There is a
:27:45. > :27:50.weariness about this, you can have a panel, saying something happen and
:27:51. > :27:55.they ought to and it's bad that it's not, and then what? This is the
:27:56. > :27:59.problem but I have to say the financial services consumer panel,
:28:00. > :28:03.is an official body in the sand it advises the regulator, the financial
:28:04. > :28:10.conduct authorities, that has the power to pass regulations about
:28:11. > :28:14.financial services. They will at some point reacts. Their reaction to
:28:15. > :28:18.me was lukewarm, they said they welcome contributions to the panel,
:28:19. > :28:21.it's important consumers understand the financial products and services
:28:22. > :28:29.they are buying. So not a ringing endorsement of this. But it is
:28:30. > :28:35.important that a panel with some official status, helps all of us
:28:36. > :28:39.that they can get a better deal from financial services. If someone is
:28:40. > :28:45.watching now to go to one area to get the most game farm, in terms of
:28:46. > :28:47.changing colours, what would it be? If you've never Switch your gas and
:28:48. > :28:52.electricity account, sweating that will save you money. If you have
:28:53. > :28:56.already switch, it will save you a bit. And don't let your car
:28:57. > :29:00.insurance or house insurance just go with the same firm year after year.
:29:01. > :29:04.Always check it every year when it runs out. Paul, thank you.
:29:05. > :29:11.There's more on Money Box today, at midday on Radio 4.
:29:12. > :29:15.Prince George and Princess Charlotte might have stolen the show
:29:16. > :29:17.in Germany, but not always because they were model children.
:29:18. > :29:20.So, with George turning four tomorrow, we'll be finding out how
:29:21. > :29:22.some of the newest members of the Royal family
:29:23. > :29:24.are coping with the pressure of very public trips.
:29:25. > :30:04.Hello, this is Breakfast with Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt.
:30:05. > :30:06.Coming up before 9am, Stav will have the weather,
:30:07. > :30:11.but first a summary of this morning's main news.
:30:12. > :30:13.Nearly 1,000 children are being forced into temporary
:30:14. > :30:16.accommodation every month because more families
:30:17. > :30:18.are becoming homeless, according to councils in England.
:30:19. > :30:20.The Local Government Association says the number has increased
:30:21. > :30:25.It wants more powers to build what are described
:30:26. > :30:31.The Government says it is investing ?550 million to help
:30:32. > :30:38.Drone owners will have to complete a safety awareness course under
:30:39. > :30:42.Machines that weigh more than 250-grams will also
:30:43. > :30:43.have to be registered, amid growing concern about
:30:44. > :30:48.Earlier this month five flights were diverted from Gatwick Airport
:30:49. > :30:54.because a drone was flown too close to the runway.
:30:55. > :30:57.Boots the chemist has apologised for its response to a row
:30:58. > :30:59.about what it charges for the morning-after-pill.
:31:00. > :31:01.The chain initially rejected calls to reduce the price,
:31:02. > :31:03.saying it didn't want to encourage the misuse of emergency
:31:04. > :31:06.contraception, but after criticism from a string of Labour MPs,
:31:07. > :31:13.it now says it's looking at lower priced alternatives.
:31:14. > :31:20.The outgoing White House Press Secretary, Sean Spicer, has told
:31:21. > :31:22.an American television network that he resigned six
:31:23. > :31:24.months into the job because he feared there would be
:31:25. > :31:27."too many cooks in the kitchen" if he remained in his job.
:31:28. > :31:29.His time at the podium was marked by a number
:31:30. > :31:33.of clashes with reporters, the first of which, was the row over
:31:34. > :31:35.just how many people attended Donald Trump's inauguration.
:31:36. > :31:37.An official photograph has been unveiled to mark
:31:38. > :31:42.It was taken at Kensington Palace by royal photographer Chris Jackson,
:31:43. > :31:45.who described the young prince as a "happy little boy".
:31:46. > :31:48.The prince has just returned to the UK from an official visit
:31:49. > :31:50.to Poland and Germany with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge
:31:51. > :32:01.Paintings by Michael Jackson's former pet chimpanzee
:32:02. > :32:09.The king of pop's pet primate has been picking up a paintbrush
:32:10. > :32:21.The work by Bubbles can be seen at a gallery in Miami.
:32:22. > :32:24.The organisers say the proceeds will help fund an sanctuary in Florida.
:32:25. > :32:39.Hopefully he will be sending the art world ape!
:32:40. > :32:47.What was that noise, Matt? I was doing this to wake up from the dream
:32:48. > :32:54.I was in. It sounded like you were slapping yourself. I was. If I could
:32:55. > :32:58.see the painting, I quite liked it. He looked relaxed and he was happy.
:32:59. > :33:02.Don't put paint brushes in your mouth. That's never a good idea. He
:33:03. > :33:13.looks really content, doesn't he? I quite like it. I'm not going to buy
:33:14. > :33:19.one. If you have got ?1500 spare Charlie. I reckon I could do
:33:20. > :33:25.something for you. What have you got for us, Mike? Back in the real
:33:26. > :33:31.world. A moment ago you were warming up on the side of the sofa, you were
:33:32. > :33:35.doing a little bit of warm up, you were really bracing yourself for
:33:36. > :33:43.this one. Yes, like the golfers are for the Open!
:33:44. > :33:45.And so it's the American Jordan Spieth, who heads the field
:33:46. > :33:59.at the halfway stage of the Open Championship.
:34:00. > :34:07.79 players have gone. # 7 remain. 77 remain.
:34:08. > :34:09.He negotiated some foul conditions at Royal Birkdale
:34:10. > :34:12.The two-time major winner, lies on six under par -
:34:13. > :34:14.two shots ahead of his nearest rival, despite playing
:34:15. > :34:20.He's three shots off the lead after a consistent round yesterday.
:34:21. > :34:24.After Rory McIlroy feared he might miss
:34:25. > :34:27.the cut in the first round, he's bounced back into a tie
:34:28. > :34:37.Anything around even par will be a really good score today. I got off
:34:38. > :34:40.to the best possible start. I continued where I left off last
:34:41. > :34:44.night. I made some birdies early on and that gave me a cushion to play
:34:45. > :34:49.with. Like I needed to make some big up and downs around the middle of
:34:50. > :35:01.the round, but yeah, I did exactly what I wanted to do.
:35:02. > :35:04.It will be great to tee off late and have a lie-in in the morning,
:35:05. > :35:06.look at the pin locations, see how other players
:35:07. > :35:18.I just want a nice weekend without too much rain.
:35:19. > :35:24.The American leads after two rounds from his compatriot
:35:25. > :35:32.Ian Poulter is the best placed British player on three under par
:35:33. > :35:36.with Rory McIlroy's 68 putting him back in contention.
:35:37. > :35:40.Defending champion Henrik Stenson lies at two over par.
:35:41. > :35:43.But his preparations for the second round were less than ideal,
:35:44. > :35:46.after the house that he's staying in, was burgled on Thursday.
:35:47. > :35:50.Clothes, personal effects and jewellery were stolen
:35:51. > :35:55.but Stenson refused to blame that for a poor round yesterday.
:35:56. > :36:00.Not too much on, you know, the effect of today's round,
:36:01. > :36:05.I wouldn't say, but being with the police rather than staying
:36:06. > :36:08.where you wanted to do, it was a difficult evening,
:36:09. > :36:14.Kadeena Cox won Britain's 14th gold at the World Para Athletics
:36:15. > :36:17.Championships last night, winning the T38 400m.
:36:18. > :36:19.Cox, who holds the world record in the event,
:36:20. > :36:22.beat the rest of the field by six seconds for her second medal
:36:23. > :36:25.She'll run again today in the T38 100m.
:36:26. > :36:28.Cox won gold, silver and bronze on the track in Rio last year
:36:29. > :36:45.But I did not know if I had the strength.
:36:46. > :36:57.I have not put in the work. The last 100 meters will be horrible. I
:36:58. > :37:03.needed to give myself the gap to have a buffer if they did come back.
:37:04. > :37:05.Usain Bolt, was victorious in his final race,
:37:06. > :37:07.before his swansong, at the World Athletics
:37:08. > :37:10.Competing in the Monaco Diamond League, Bolt
:37:11. > :37:12.produced a season's best, running under ten seconds,
:37:13. > :37:16.Britain's, C.J Ujah, finished fourth.
:37:17. > :37:24.I'm always excited for a championship. I think after that I
:37:25. > :37:27.will be sad, but I'm really excited going into these championships. I
:37:28. > :37:31.know it's going to be energetic. I know there will be a lot of
:37:32. > :37:35.Jamaicans and I know it will be big. For me, I'm really excited going
:37:36. > :37:36.into this. I'm just going to do my best as always and aim to win.
:37:37. > :37:39.That's it. And there was a great
:37:40. > :37:41.run from Laura Muir, in the women's 3,000 metres,
:37:42. > :37:43.smashing her personal best, by eight seconds,
:37:44. > :37:45.as she finished third, so a place ahead of her fellow Scot,
:37:46. > :37:49.Eilish McColgan, who also set a new PB 12 seconds faster
:37:50. > :37:54.than her previous best. Chris Froome is just two stages away
:37:55. > :37:59.from a fourth Tour De France He finished in the bunch on stage 19
:38:00. > :38:10.yesterday as Norway's Froome has a 23-second lead
:38:11. > :38:14.to protect, going into the time He'll be crowned champion
:38:15. > :38:22.on the Champs Elysees tomorrow. Tom Daley is through to the men's
:38:23. > :38:28.ten metre platform final, at the World Aquatics
:38:29. > :38:30.Championships in Hungary. Daley - who won bronze
:38:31. > :38:33.in this event in London - qualified in second place
:38:34. > :38:35.for this afternoon's showpiece. Compatriot Matty Lee
:38:36. > :38:36.is also through. I think this year it has been
:38:37. > :38:38.all about enjoying it. Last year was such a serious year
:38:39. > :38:42.with it in the Olympic year. I just wanted the best
:38:43. > :38:44.shot I could have. Wigan completed their regular
:38:45. > :38:49.Super League season, with a crushing 34-0 victory over
:38:50. > :38:52.Leeds. Wigan had already qualified
:38:53. > :38:56.for the Super Eights, but ran in seven tries
:38:57. > :39:01.against an injury hit Rhinos. There were wins elsewhere
:39:02. > :39:03.for Leigh and Hull FC After a half century,
:39:04. > :39:08.in his first game back for Surrey, Kevin Pietersen was brought back
:39:09. > :39:10.down to earth last night. Going into their T-20 Blast game
:39:11. > :39:13.against Middlesex he was struggling with a calf injury and that may have
:39:14. > :39:17.been on his mind when he set off for a run but changed his mind,
:39:18. > :39:20.leaving his Australian team-mate Aaron Finch stranded halfway down
:39:21. > :39:22.the pitch and unable to get back Surrey did manage to
:39:23. > :39:32.win though by 15 runs. Now in football and on a weekend
:39:33. > :39:36.when England and Scotland's women play their second matches at Euro
:39:37. > :39:39.2017, I've been to Stoke to join some young women who are playing
:39:40. > :40:03.a new form of the game Well, we're all dressed up with our
:40:04. > :40:08.face paints on. Some more than others admittedly. It seems like an
:40:09. > :40:09.ordinary six aside indoor game. All that changes with the flick of a
:40:10. > :40:26.switch! It all started with badminton glow
:40:27. > :40:29.squash two years ago. Glow football started up in Stoke. It spread
:40:30. > :40:33.across other parts of the country too. It is just the combination of
:40:34. > :40:38.the three factors, playing football with a friend, the lights are off
:40:39. > :40:42.and they have got the headbands and music is on. It is a real party
:40:43. > :40:45.scene. When they are playing they are not worried about the image.
:40:46. > :40:51.Everybody is the same or out there and going for it. It is great for
:40:52. > :40:56.teenage girls really. There is now weekly UV League here at
:40:57. > :41:00.Staffordshire University an initiative funded by the Premier
:41:01. > :41:05.League and backed by the FA. It's like ping-pong at times. Sometimes
:41:06. > :41:09.you can't see which team-mates you're passing to as long as they
:41:10. > :41:14.are in an orange shirt. It is part of a wider push by Glow Active UK
:41:15. > :41:17.which helped start leagues at dozens of clubs to reach girls like Bonnie
:41:18. > :41:21.who says she would never have got into football had it not been for
:41:22. > :41:28.this. It's in the dark, you can't really see you in that. So if you're
:41:29. > :41:32.embarrassed or anything, no point because it's like no one can really
:41:33. > :41:39.see you. Is that what helped you get into it? Yeah. The girls can show
:41:40. > :41:43.their personal with the way they put their face paint on. It is a save.
:41:44. > :41:49.It stays level. The game is finely poised. The opposition are making a
:41:50. > :42:03.substitution. And what a substitution it was. Oh, tackled. We
:42:04. > :42:09.lost. The super sub made all the difference as the lights go on and
:42:10. > :42:12.our face paints have run. 94 caps for England, Sue Smith, her first
:42:13. > :42:18.experience of glow football. How was it? I loved T it was so much fun.
:42:19. > :42:21.It's great for maybe the young girls and boys that don't have confidence.
:42:22. > :42:24.So I if you make a mistake, you don't know who has done that
:42:25. > :42:29.mistake. It probably would have good for me. And me, I hope, when I
:42:30. > :42:34.managed to score an own goal, but it could have been anyone as you hide
:42:35. > :42:44.behind their UV paint which certainly makes for some interesting
:42:45. > :42:50.team photos! I think Bubbles the chimp would have
:42:51. > :42:54.done better there with the paint! A great game because you are
:42:55. > :42:59.anonymous. We could do it with golf and then you wouldn't show us up as
:43:00. > :43:07.much. You wouldn't know where the ball had gone. I think they do glow
:43:08. > :43:11.in the dark golf. Squash, badminton. Squash could be dangerous. I get hit
:43:12. > :43:16.enough with the squash ball in the light. Get inspired website has more
:43:17. > :43:18.information on where you can play, glow in the dark football or UV
:43:19. > :43:39.football. Cycling is due to lose funding.
:43:40. > :43:40.Senior figures have expressed concerns that the reforms have been
:43:41. > :43:45.rushed through and will be rejected. Let's discuss this now
:43:46. > :43:47.with former President of British Cycling Tony
:43:48. > :43:56.Doyle who joins us now. This is confusing, can you give us
:43:57. > :44:01.the mug's guide to why this day, this vote is important? Well, the
:44:02. > :44:06.mug's guide is always better for yourself, Charlie! Fair point! The
:44:07. > :44:11.Government has come forward and said that we are putting hundreds of
:44:12. > :44:14.millions of pounds into sport through the National Lottery funding
:44:15. > :44:18.and there needs to be more diversity, more inclusion, we need
:44:19. > :44:23.to stamp out sexism and racism and bullying and we want all national
:44:24. > :44:27.governing bodies to ahere to our new code of governance. So on the face
:44:28. > :44:31.of it, they're saying you get the money if you do those good things.
:44:32. > :44:37.So how can that be a problem? They are saying we need to have a major
:44:38. > :44:41.influence sitting on the board. So that we're involved with the
:44:42. > :44:44.grass-roots, the basic decisions and so we're going to have people
:44:45. > :44:49.outside of the sport who have had no experience, no involvement with the
:44:50. > :44:54.sport whatsoever and they are deciding on basic issues. So the
:44:55. > :44:58.fact that it has been rushed through and it has all been convened so
:44:59. > :45:03.there is as least resistance as possible. We have a British rider
:45:04. > :45:06.who is leading the tour de-France at the moment. Hundreds of thousands of
:45:07. > :45:10.Brits are over there. So a lot of people who should be in attendance
:45:11. > :45:14.at the meeting aren't there because they are away supporting Britain's
:45:15. > :45:19.cycling stars. How long have you been aware that there is an issue
:45:20. > :45:24.with diversity in cycling or pressure for the board or the way
:45:25. > :45:29.the sport is run to change? Has this come out of the blue? No, it hasn't
:45:30. > :45:35.come out of the blue. For sometime we've realised that there is not
:45:36. > :45:39.enough inclusion and that the governing body and our Government
:45:40. > :45:45.itself have been concentrating far too much on the top of pyramid.
:45:46. > :45:51.Cycling has been very successful over the past 10 or 20 years, but
:45:52. > :45:53.there is a huge number of people coming new into the sport and we
:45:54. > :45:57.need to be looking after them. So it's the kids that are coming
:45:58. > :46:00.through, the people who are riding for leisure and recognise reration.
:46:01. > :46:06.We don't just concentrate on the medal factory at the top of the
:46:07. > :46:09.pyramid. Chris Hoy is saying he understands the reforms should be
:46:10. > :46:15.voted through. That it's important they should be. You are taking a
:46:16. > :46:18.different view. No, I'm not taking a completely different view. The
:46:19. > :46:22.majority of the proposals make sense and it's time for Haining. We need
:46:23. > :46:26.an overall reform and we don't have to make that decision this
:46:27. > :46:29.afternoon. We've got until the end of October, before we have to give a
:46:30. > :46:33.final decision. So there is three months grace where we can talk about
:46:34. > :46:38.it and sit around the table and discuss things properly rather than
:46:39. > :46:44.being told what we have to do. Sorry, I'm not clear what you are
:46:45. > :46:50.being asked to do. Is it a code of conduct or a set of brand-new rules?
:46:51. > :46:54.It's a code of conduct. But... I don't understand why that needs so
:46:55. > :46:59.much discussion if you agree with the principles that diversity needs
:47:00. > :47:02.to be increased and that the sport should be open to one and all. You
:47:03. > :47:06.have got people like Chris Hoy supporting it. I don't understand
:47:07. > :47:11.why it is a problem to have a code of conduct? The money that comes
:47:12. > :47:14.into the sport is for the elite programmes, so for the world-class
:47:15. > :47:17.performance programme so it doesn't trickle down to the grass-roots and
:47:18. > :47:21.to the kids that are coming through. We're not against it, but the
:47:22. > :47:24.federation... This sounds like an argument against the way that the
:47:25. > :47:32.sport is funded, not the code of conduct? It's against both. So, the
:47:33. > :47:36.British Cycling Federation is a members organisation so the
:47:37. > :47:40.membership is the controlling sovereign body of our governing body
:47:41. > :47:44.and the members have not been consulted. Meeting have been taking
:47:45. > :47:48.place secretly without the membership being told. You don't
:47:49. > :47:53.agree you won't get the funding, as simple as that, isn't it? We are
:47:54. > :47:57.ready to agree, but we need compromise. We need room for
:47:58. > :48:01.discussion rather than the rules and the new code of conduct being
:48:02. > :48:02.imposed on us. Tony Doyle, thank you for talking to us and explaining it
:48:03. > :48:07.all to us. It's 8.47am and you're watching
:48:08. > :48:09.Breakfast from BBC News. The main stories: Almost 1,000
:48:10. > :48:12.children in England are being forced into temporary accommodation every
:48:13. > :48:14.month, according to local councils. Drone owners will have
:48:15. > :48:16.to complete a safety course and register their aircraft
:48:17. > :48:20.amid growing concern about Also coming up in the programme,
:48:21. > :48:31.former Beautiful South members Jacqui Abbott and Paul Heaton hope
:48:32. > :48:34.they will be "deserving" of success It has been praised
:48:35. > :49:00.by fans and critics alike. A mixed picture for a lot of us
:49:01. > :49:06.across the country. Stav, we have seen stormy, windy
:49:07. > :49:10.conditions, haven't we? We had heavy rain and strong winds and trees
:49:11. > :49:12.down. This weekend, we have low pressure nearby which will be
:49:13. > :49:18.producing sunshine and showers. Some will be heavy, but the winds will be
:49:19. > :49:23.falling light too. Glorious skies across the south-west of England at
:49:24. > :49:29.the moment like this picture shous in Bath, but the showers are never
:49:30. > :49:36.far away. Heavy showers across northern areas.
:49:37. > :49:39.But to the north of Scotland, here it should stay dry with sunny spells
:49:40. > :49:43.throughout the day and it will turn warm in a few places. The same too
:49:44. > :49:47.for Northern Ireland, but grim skies further south, Southern Scotland and
:49:48. > :49:53.into northern England, but the rain should clear away from eastern
:49:54. > :49:56.England. Further south, here the showers pushing in towards the
:49:57. > :50:02.south-west, South Wales, they will be making their way inroads as well
:50:03. > :50:06.and they will turn heavier as the afternoon wears on because of the
:50:07. > :50:10.sunshine heating the ground. Heavy thundery ones, but in between, some
:50:11. > :50:13.good sunny spells like in Northern Ireland and Northern Scotland seeing
:50:14. > :50:18.the best of the dry and the bright weather. Top temperatures 20 or 21
:50:19. > :50:23.Celsius. For the golf, there could be showers
:50:24. > :50:26.both today and tomorrow. Temperatures around 18 to 20
:50:27. > :50:30.Celsius, but the winds will be light. The showers rattle on for a
:50:31. > :50:35.while this evening into the first part of the night and then they tend
:50:36. > :50:39.to fade away for central and southern areas. But under the clear
:50:40. > :50:43.skies, light winds, it will turn fresh, I think, in rural places. We
:50:44. > :50:47.could see some mist and fog developing too. Into Sunday then, a
:50:48. > :50:51.cool start, but dry with sunshine for many. Actually quite a pleasant
:50:52. > :50:54.day. A better looking day than what we will have today with the showers
:50:55. > :50:58.developing in the afternoon. Again they could be heavy, but they will
:50:59. > :51:02.be well scattered. Some areas staying dry. If you catch the
:51:03. > :51:08.sunshine it will stay warm. It stays good into next week thanks to a
:51:09. > :51:15.ridge of high pressure and light winds. We should be looking at the
:51:16. > :51:19.mid to low 20s particularly central and southern areas.
:51:20. > :51:26.STUDIO: Stav, are those typical temperatures? Around the low to
:51:27. > :51:30.mid-20s, high teens further north. But the northerly winds, so it will
:51:31. > :51:34.feel fresh if you are awe out of the sun, but because the sun is strong,
:51:35. > :51:41.it will make it lovely and warm. Stav, we will speak later.
:51:42. > :51:43.Andy Steggles nearly drowned when he was three-years-old only
:51:44. > :51:46.to be rescued from a river by two strangers who resuscitated him.
:51:47. > :51:49.More than four decades later, and after years of trying,
:51:50. > :51:51.he finally tracked down the pair who saved his life.
:51:52. > :51:59.Our reporter Laura May McMullan was there for the reunion.
:52:00. > :52:07.Hello you. You've grown a little bit since the last time I saw you. They
:52:08. > :52:12.spent their lives as strangers, but ones who share a unique bond. Andy
:52:13. > :52:18.Steggles was just three years old when he nearly drowned in a brook in
:52:19. > :52:24.Birmingham. There you was a little bundle on the floor. Oh my god. I
:52:25. > :52:30.just dropped everything and ran. To say I owe you a debt of gratitude is
:52:31. > :52:36.the under statement of the century. Ann Morgan had learnt her first aid
:52:37. > :52:42.skills in the Girl Guides and Andy had to be resuscitated three times.
:52:43. > :52:50.He waited 44 years to finally meet her and say thank you. Ann has had
:52:51. > :52:54.probably more of an impact on my life than she could possibly
:52:55. > :53:04.imagine. It means so much when I look at my kids and I look at you
:53:05. > :53:07.know my children, three-year-old Oliver, it always comes back to Ann
:53:08. > :53:12.pulling me out of the river and saving my life. What's it like
:53:13. > :53:15.seeing him after all these years? I'm so pleased that he's doing so
:53:16. > :53:19.well. Over the years I've thought about him and wondered how he's
:53:20. > :53:24.getting on and what sort of life he's leading. It's lovely to have
:53:25. > :53:28.him back in my life. You were here actually. He pulled
:53:29. > :53:35.you out from there and you were down here. It's the first time in over 40
:53:36. > :53:38.years they have been back to the brook in Marsden Green. Andy now
:53:39. > :53:43.lives in America and was keen to show his family. From the first time
:53:44. > :53:46.I met him, you know, when you exchange stories and when you're
:53:47. > :53:49.first dating, this is one of the first things he told me and the
:53:50. > :53:54.impact she made for my life and so many others, you know, bringing him
:53:55. > :54:00.into my world and our children, it's just I'm so grateful and thankful.
:54:01. > :54:08.It's like an adopted son now all of a sudden. It's nice. It's nice.
:54:09. > :54:14.Being able to finally meet Ann and just thank her. It's a big deal. A
:54:15. > :54:22.happy ending and now a friendship that will last a lifetime.
:54:23. > :54:24.Directing an orchestra, trying out a new helicopter and even
:54:25. > :54:28.sorting out a tantrum on the runway - it was a busy and eventful day
:54:29. > :54:30.for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge as they brought
:54:31. > :54:33.their royal tour of Poland and Germany to a close.
:54:34. > :54:36.The official visit was laid on to remind people of the strength
:54:37. > :54:38.of ties between Britain and Europe, but it was arguably the young
:54:39. > :54:40.Prince George and his sister Princess Charlotte
:54:41. > :55:00.Here's a quick look at what they got up to.
:55:01. > :55:49.Joining us now from our Plymouth studio is the royal historian,
:55:50. > :55:57.Good morning to you. Interesting look at those images isn't it,
:55:58. > :56:02.because there was an enormous amount of attention because it was a family
:56:03. > :56:05.occasion, wasn't it? Yes, it's very interesting because it really works
:56:06. > :56:10.in terms of the Royal Family the biggest crowd puller is the Queen,
:56:11. > :56:13.but she is no longer doing overseas visits and the next ones down are
:56:14. > :56:16.William and Kate, but the level of attention they draw is always
:56:17. > :56:20.doubled if they take the little people with them, if they take their
:56:21. > :56:25.children with them. Yes, they got huge attention in Paris, in India.
:56:26. > :56:31.The media attention is doubled. There are all the pictures and there
:56:32. > :56:34.really often is the case that the little people, George and Charlotte
:56:35. > :56:40.do steal the show. Yes, and what you have here, of course, we are seeing
:56:41. > :56:43.a number of images, of the youngsters, Prince George in the
:56:44. > :56:48.helicopter, but as always with the royal tours, there is a mixture of
:56:49. > :56:51.events and were sombre during this particular tour, particularly those
:56:52. > :56:57.in Poland? Yes, there were some very sombre events. We saw some fun
:56:58. > :57:01.events and the rowing match, but we saw much more serious events,
:57:02. > :57:05.visiting the concentration camp, talking with former survivors and
:57:06. > :57:10.also talking about the occupation of Poland, visiting the museum that
:57:11. > :57:15.celebrated and commemorated the uprising of 1944, so what you see
:57:16. > :57:20.here are William and Kate engaging in much more serious engagements
:57:21. > :57:26.with European history with the past that is very recent past for many
:57:27. > :57:29.people that they met, Europe is joined together in unity now, but
:57:30. > :57:34.that was not the case during the Second World War. So they were there
:57:35. > :57:38.commemorating the sadness and the struggles and the difficult times
:57:39. > :57:42.and really when we see the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge engaging in
:57:43. > :57:46.this serious political engagement it really does show that they one day
:57:47. > :57:52.there will be the future king and queen. Yes, of course, on this
:57:53. > :57:55.occasion, it is a major visit in two European countries, the backdrop to
:57:56. > :58:00.this is the Brexit situation which is rumbling around even as they are
:58:01. > :58:04.speaking to dignitaries and doing their job. How do you think they
:58:05. > :58:08.sort of managed that diplomacy element of the trip? Well, it's very
:58:09. > :58:14.interesting because initially when they were off, there was lots of
:58:15. > :58:18.talk about how they were the Brexit ambassadors, is this a Brexit
:58:19. > :58:22.mission? The Brexit mission is being conducted by David Davis and the
:58:23. > :58:26.other ministers in the negotiations, but the idea is that this is going
:58:27. > :58:29.to be the soft power, the soft reminder to Europe that at hoe the
:58:30. > :58:35.negotiations are going on and they are rather sticky, they are becoming
:58:36. > :58:41.rather mired up over questions of the divorce bill, but the visit of
:58:42. > :58:45.the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their children will remind
:58:46. > :58:51.people that Britain still wants to be their Kate, sorry, I'm friends.
:58:52. > :58:55.Short for time. But on a lighter note, Princess Charlotte, the moment
:58:56. > :58:57.outside the plane when clearly, people get tired when they're young.
:58:58. > :59:02.They are being dragged around. There was a moment a lot of people will
:59:03. > :59:08.sympathise with? Yes, it is tough on the little people. It's, most small
:59:09. > :59:12.children sadly they want to be in a soft play and not shaking hands and
:59:13. > :59:17.meeting royal dignitaries and they are exhausted. Although the majority
:59:18. > :59:21.of places William and Kate didn't take them to the serious parts, they
:59:22. > :59:26.were there for the fun parts. Although it is hard tonne a little
:59:27. > :59:29.person, it is fantastic to see them and they enjoy themselves and people
:59:30. > :59:33.are thrilled to see them and it is a great treat to see the small royals
:59:34. > :59:42.even though they find it a little bit exhausting. Kate, thank you very
:59:43. > :59:45.much. The headlines are coming up. We will
:59:46. > :00:11.be back with you at 9am. Hello this is Breakfast, with

:01:07. > :01:18.from funny to mean. And there's a difference that
:01:19. > :01:20.happens. In sport, Jordan Spieth leads

:01:49. > :01:52.Almost 1,000 children are being forced into temporary

:03:01. > :03:03.We also need to be able to intervene earlier as well.

:05:03. > :05:08.The chain initially rejected calls to reduce the price,

:05:14. > :05:16.it now says it's looking at lower priced alternatives.
:05:17. > :05:18.Our reporter Tom Burridge is outside one of their flagship
:05:19. > :05:21.stores in London - Tom this is a bit of
:05:22. > :05:36.They lot of criticism and now boot is saying something different? Yes,
:05:37. > :05:41.Boots has caved in to pressure on this one. The British pregnancy
:05:42. > :05:46.advisory service provide abortions in the UK, they call them all
:05:47. > :05:52.retailers to slash prices. But boot on Thursday said it wouldn't because
:05:53. > :05:56.it didn't want to encourage overuse or misuse of the morning after pill.
:05:57. > :06:01.By comparing prices, beat Superstar shrimp doing a good option
:06:02. > :06:08.fixing that both the cheapest option for the morning after pill is over
:06:09. > :06:15.?20. It is around half the price elsewhere. After the statement by
:06:16. > :06:19.Boots on Thursday there was an angry letter from more than 30 female
:06:20. > :06:23.Labour MPs who all signed the letter, accusing Boots of treating
:06:24. > :06:26.running like children and taking a moral position on an issue of
:06:27. > :06:30.choice, whether or not women want or do not want to take the morning
:06:31. > :06:36.after pill. So late last night we had an about turn by Boots, saying
:06:37. > :06:42.they were truly sorry for the poor choice of words. They say this
:06:43. > :06:45.caused offence and misunderstanding, they now say they will look at
:06:46. > :06:47.providing cheaper alternatives for the morning after pill in their
:06:48. > :06:51.stores. Tom, thank you. The outgoing White House Press
:06:52. > :06:53.Secretary Sean Spicer has told an American television network
:06:54. > :06:55.that he resigned, six months into the job,
:06:56. > :06:57.because he feared there would be "too many cooks in the kitchen"
:06:58. > :06:59.if he remained. His time at the podium
:07:00. > :07:02.was marked by a number of clashes with reporters,
:07:03. > :07:05.the first of which, was the row over just how many people attended
:07:06. > :07:10.Donald Trump's inauguration. There were a couple of parts that
:07:11. > :07:13.were funny but a lot of it was over But there are some
:07:14. > :07:23.skits that I've seen on late-night television that
:07:24. > :07:26.I had to crack up at. So sometimes it can be funny,
:07:27. > :07:35.some of the memes you have to laugh at yourself a little bit, but
:07:36. > :07:38.there are times that it goes from And there's a difference
:07:39. > :07:41.when that happens. An official photograph has
:07:42. > :07:43.been unveiled to mark It was taken at Kensington Palace
:07:44. > :07:46.by royal photographer Chris Jackson, who described the young prince
:07:47. > :07:49.as a "happy little boy". The prince has just returned
:07:50. > :07:52.to the UK from an official visit to Poland and Germany with the Duke
:07:53. > :07:55.and Duchess of Cambridge Sir Mo Farrah may be one of our most
:07:56. > :07:59.decorated Olympians but now a graphic designer from Swindon
:08:00. > :08:01.claims to have broken one Sir Mo set the record
:08:02. > :08:05.for the 100-metre sack race in 2014 But yesterday, dad of two
:08:06. > :08:17.Stephen Wildish took on the challenge and hopped over
:08:18. > :08:34.the line in just over 28 seconds - It's not official as yet. But the
:08:35. > :08:37.clock doesn't lie. He's obviously got good technique.
:08:38. > :08:40.They're vital modern-day tools, used for search and rescue
:08:41. > :08:41.operations and crop-surveillance, but drones also have
:08:42. > :08:44.the potential to be dangerous - last year there were 70
:08:45. > :08:48.The government wants to cut their misuse by introducing
:08:49. > :08:53.measures that will help authorities trace the owners.
:08:54. > :08:56.Owen McAree is a professor in drone and robot safety,
:08:57. > :09:10.Good morning. Explain these regulations, how they work in
:09:11. > :09:15.practice? The actual report has only just come out so the details are
:09:16. > :09:21.still working through, if you like. As far as I understand it, everybody
:09:22. > :09:27.that one stop operator drone of more than 250 grams must register the
:09:28. > :09:31.fact they have a drone that is that weight, and they have to pass an
:09:32. > :09:34.online assessment to make sure they understand the rules around
:09:35. > :09:39.operating drone. Do you get a licence? Sort of, a kind of
:09:40. > :09:42.electronic licence. You get a code or something that confirms you have
:09:43. > :09:46.registered and passed a test. You have to write that on your drone,
:09:47. > :09:51.and that is the minimum requirement. There is also some talk, the details
:09:52. > :09:56.are to be worked out yet, but there is talk about using electronic
:09:57. > :10:01.identification as well. Because one issue with a drone is when it up in
:10:02. > :10:05.the sky, far away from you, if it is used for flying over a prison or
:10:06. > :10:10.something, you can't identify who is operating. If we require an
:10:11. > :10:13.electronic identification, the police did have access to a database
:10:14. > :10:17.saying there was a drone flying here and it's registered to this person.
:10:18. > :10:21.The problem is, if you buy a drone and want to drop drugs into a
:10:22. > :10:24.present you would register, you won't use the online course. Some
:10:25. > :10:30.people it's targeting are effectively going to still be
:10:31. > :10:37.affected? That's the details of how it will be applied to need to be
:10:38. > :10:43.worked out. The high shops be stopped from selling drones unless
:10:44. > :10:50.they register, like a mobile phone contract? We don't know but that is
:10:51. > :10:57.the intent from the government. We are now learning about the dangers
:10:58. > :11:02.that drones pose, that is an area of concern. One of them are pretty big.
:11:03. > :11:08.-- some of them are pretty big. They are, I regularly operate drones as
:11:09. > :11:12.big as this table. This kind of size? Were that to be in a collision
:11:13. > :11:14.with an aircraft, a helicopter or light aircraft, what do we know
:11:15. > :11:26.about the consequences certainly with helicopters, it would
:11:27. > :11:28.do serious damage. Part of the reporters, saying even 400 grams
:11:29. > :11:33.will be sufficient to damage a helicopter. They are designed for
:11:34. > :11:39.collisions with birds and things, which are softer than drones. What
:11:40. > :11:46.is the consequences right now if you fly a drone irresponsible in
:11:47. > :11:51.irresponsibly? The police have power to deal with someone doing there.
:11:52. > :12:01.I'm supportive of -- I'm supportive of the suggestions
:12:02. > :12:07.because some people do not know the rules. You don't know what
:12:08. > :12:12.constitutes being around an airport, it's quite large. It deliberately to
:12:13. > :12:18.be miles away thinking you are not near the airport but by the time you
:12:19. > :12:24.are flying the drone, you are. That is currently against the law? It is
:12:25. > :12:28.against the law. So those laws exist? Yes, and a lot of the
:12:29. > :12:31.problems tend to be that when people are caught or often not caught doing
:12:32. > :12:36.these things wrong, it is simply because they don't know these rules.
:12:37. > :12:40.The rules are already there but they don't know them. One of the
:12:41. > :12:44.positives of this registration scheme, in my opinion, is feeble
:12:45. > :12:51.have to do an online assessment which is going to go through, do you
:12:52. > :12:55.know where to fly a drone? Was the furthest, so the controller,
:12:56. > :13:00.assuming someone is flying in the wrong place, what is the furthest
:13:01. > :13:02.they can beat away from the drone they are controlling the tropics
:13:03. > :13:08.practically, not more than a few miles. That's a lot though. That
:13:09. > :13:14.this huge range. And that's very legal. One of the rules you need to
:13:15. > :13:17.know is that you have to keep you do your drone in your vision. Otherwise
:13:18. > :13:20.you don't know exactly what it's doing about every fault or something
:13:21. > :13:26.of. If you can't see it you want now. When will these were all
:13:27. > :13:30.supposed to be coming in? We don't know. The policy has come out today.
:13:31. > :13:36.From my understanding, there was always a plan to do something at
:13:37. > :13:40.this and the bank planned to -- and now they plan to bring it forward. I
:13:41. > :13:43.have another chance to read it, it has just been published. They may
:13:44. > :13:50.specify it, may not. Thanks for joining us.
:13:51. > :14:01.I wonder what this guys will be like to fly in today? -- this guys will
:14:02. > :14:06.be like? The windswept pretty damaging yesterday. Today is looking
:14:07. > :14:18.more showery than tomorrow. Winds will be lighter. The showers
:14:19. > :14:21.are gathering across the South West, continuing to push northwards and
:14:22. > :14:26.eastwards. This weather front brought rain across western areas
:14:27. > :14:30.yesterday, now across northern England and into southern Scotland.
:14:31. > :14:34.It is going to be pretty down through the course of the day.
:14:35. > :14:39.Northern Scotland doing well though, you see sunshine staying dry. Same
:14:40. > :14:41.tea for Northern Ireland, Santo to break through the clouds that the
:14:42. > :14:48.rain should clear away from eastern England as well. Those showers
:14:49. > :14:51.gathering across the South West, turning heavier, pushing towards the
:14:52. > :14:56.South East and Midlands. There will be sunny spells in between, so not a
:14:57. > :15:01.complete wash-out. Those showers turning heavy with sand mixed into
:15:02. > :15:05.the afternoon. Same across northern England into southern Scotland. It
:15:06. > :15:07.spells in between, best answer boldly Northern Ireland and the
:15:08. > :15:17.northern half of Scotland where it could be 20 degrees. 20 or 21 across
:15:18. > :15:22.the South. When the showers arrived, closer to the high teens. Golf is
:15:23. > :15:26.looking like light winds but showers. The showers rattle on this
:15:27. > :15:31.evening, the first part is dry across southern and central areas,
:15:32. > :15:35.in Scotland and northern England, there will be some showers
:15:36. > :15:40.returning. Tambe it is fairly mild with the cloud, but chilly across
:15:41. > :15:48.central areas given clear skies and light winds. Bitter fog on Sunday
:15:49. > :15:52.but showers will develop a light wind so some areas is getting it and
:15:53. > :15:58.staying dry. Attack warmer across the board, highs in 220 degrees.
:15:59. > :16:02.Into Tuesday, high pressure built in. It should be fine and dry with a
:16:03. > :16:06.lot of sunshine and feeling warm as well. 22-24 Celsius for most.
:16:07. > :16:15.Pleasant weather, indeed. LBC presenter Ian Collins is here
:16:16. > :16:31.to tell us what's caught his eye. How are you? All right. Where will
:16:32. > :16:38.you start us off. Smartphone. Should a child be allowed to have a phone?
:16:39. > :16:42.My three-year-old can navigate around a phone. He's not on
:16:43. > :16:53.Instagram Facebook but his playing little games, the CBeebies app. But
:16:54. > :16:59.owning a smartphone, apparently many eight-year-olds do. It is difficult,
:17:00. > :17:02.the parents deciding didn't have it when limited so you have nothing to
:17:03. > :17:08.measure it against. There is the fear if they do not have a phone
:17:09. > :17:12.will they be safe? Are they in the we should get out of the idea that a
:17:13. > :17:18.smartphone is recreational tool for social media. It isn't, it's also an
:17:19. > :17:24.educational tool. Home work, coursework,. You'd need a tablet
:17:25. > :17:28.rather than a phone? But many fans are the size of a tablet. They do
:17:29. > :17:33.more than just monkey around with games, potentially. My instincts
:17:34. > :17:37.tell me that it will be higher, that figure, a fifth of eight-year-olds?
:17:38. > :17:43.I think more than that. I think if he asked the parents they will they
:17:44. > :17:50.don't, but actually... More of them do. I think a lot more. When it gets
:17:51. > :17:53.to ten, it goes up more. Because of that to brew, everyone thinks of an
:17:54. > :17:59.eight-year-old has a phone, they are posting stuff on twitter and
:18:00. > :18:07.Facebook. Clue not at that age that they are using it for games. Can we
:18:08. > :18:14.cool your sun now? He might be in a conference call. Let's look at this
:18:15. > :18:21.story from the time. Undercover police targeting bad driving.
:18:22. > :18:25.Undercover police wearing plain clothing are sent on bicycles to
:18:26. > :18:29.catch motorists who don't really show courtesy or decency and adhere
:18:30. > :18:33.to safety for cyclists on the road. When I saw this car thought it will
:18:34. > :18:39.be the other way round because there are lots of very mad cyclists on
:18:40. > :18:41.British roads. It's a curious thing, when you are driving around
:18:42. > :18:48.Manchester or Glasgow or London, wherever you happen to be, I find it
:18:49. > :18:53.rather amazing you can jump on two wheels and meet around the busiest
:18:54. > :18:57.roads in the country, not wearing a helmet, getting where ever you like,
:18:58. > :19:00.that are no rules and regulations surrounding what you have to do,
:19:01. > :19:07.common-sense prevails but I thought that is what will be, catching mad
:19:08. > :19:11.cyclists. It's catching mad drivers. You do know not all cyclists Ahmad?
:19:12. > :19:19.A small number give the rest a bad name. I do know that. Sorry your
:19:20. > :19:24.switchboard has melted down at the utterance of cycling. This is about
:19:25. > :19:28.tackling motorist, not likely. On a serious point, it is a blind spots,
:19:29. > :19:34.things like that, there is a thing called the notorious left turn, lots
:19:35. > :19:38.of cyclists are being killed and entered their cars as particularly
:19:39. > :19:44.drivers doing left and not seeing cyclists. I think being aware of
:19:45. > :19:48.that kind of thing, you've now got cops, plainclothes cops, going on
:19:49. > :19:54.two wheels, letting for drivers who are doing things like that. He gets
:19:55. > :19:57.very impatient drivers as well who they clearly only own the road but I
:19:58. > :20:03.find it curious we have two wheels and fall wheels -- four wheels on
:20:04. > :20:08.the same space and no one has bothered. They should be able to
:20:09. > :20:12.deal with it? In a major city! I wouldn't want to ride a bike in any
:20:13. > :20:18.city, you'd have to be bonkers to get on two wheels on the roads with
:20:19. > :20:22.trucks and cars. Speaking of bonkers, the lemonade story. The
:20:23. > :20:26.little girl who was selling lemonade and a little stall in the street and
:20:27. > :20:31.there was a price issue. Indeed, whether it was the little girl, a
:20:32. > :20:34.five-year-old taking initiative, she went beyond Dragons den any time
:20:35. > :20:39.seen as a five-year-old, it was probably the dad was like the idea
:20:40. > :20:42.that the little guy went along with. Unfortunately while selling the
:20:43. > :20:45.lemonade during a festival day, the authorities came along and said
:20:46. > :20:51.sorry, you are breaching trading laws. Didn't a permit? Didn't have a
:20:52. > :20:54.permit to trade. I'm surprised this isn't a health and safety story,
:20:55. > :20:59.that is usually the kind of thing we talk about. Yes, where you haven't
:21:00. > :21:03.got a sink or heating or all those usual sort of thing. Actually, it
:21:04. > :21:08.wasn't having a licence to trade so they slapped ?150 fine and what the
:21:09. > :21:13.newspapers are saying onto a girl, but it was the father. Then Tower
:21:14. > :21:17.Hamlets council said this is ridiculous and a mistake, we will
:21:18. > :21:22.scrap the fine. Can we have a quick word about Dick Van Dyke? I like the
:21:23. > :21:28.accident, Mike and I think it defined the film. It did. When you
:21:29. > :21:32.first see Mary Poppins, you don't know about the accident, you think
:21:33. > :21:40.it is a charming man who was a chimney sweep with a posh many lady.
:21:41. > :21:50.It is only older when you realise the accident is bad. -- the accent
:21:51. > :21:55.is bad. If you look at how actors do it, I spoke to an American friend
:21:56. > :21:57.recently, who thought Hugh Laurie was American, because she didn't
:21:58. > :22:03.realise was British because the accident was that good. Likewise,
:22:04. > :22:10.many Zellweger in Bridget Jones. Because it was able
:22:11. > :22:21.what accidents can you do? I'm rubbish at accidents. I bet he
:22:22. > :22:28.practised one. The one no one can do is the Geordie accident. -- Geordie
:22:29. > :22:32.accent. I'd love to do that but it would sound ridiculous. Only
:22:33. > :22:36.Geordies can do the Geordie accent. I don't know what Dick Van Dyke got
:22:37. > :22:41.paid for Mary Poppins but... It's the most fun thing, the most
:22:42. > :22:47.interesting thing about the whole film? Absolutely. By making a new
:22:48. > :22:56.one so we can judge it then. Who will be in it? Danny Dyer may be? I
:22:57. > :23:03.is what it with Danny Dyer. Ian, it is lovely talking to you.
:23:04. > :23:06.His press briefings gave birth to the phrase "alternative facts"
:23:07. > :23:08.and led to much mocking on social media, but Sean Spicer's turbulent,
:23:09. > :23:11.six-month long stint as the face of President Trump's administration
:23:12. > :23:15.Mr Spicer quit his role as The White House Press Secretary,
:23:16. > :23:16.reportedly in response to an organisational shake-up.
:23:17. > :23:18.So where does that leave the Trump administration?
:23:19. > :23:21.We'll look at the implications in a moment, but first let's remind
:23:22. > :23:27.ourselves of some of his most memorable moments.
:23:28. > :23:29.This was the largest audience to ever witness
:23:30. > :23:39.These attempts to lessen the enthusiasm of the inauguration
:23:40. > :23:51.The default narrative is always negative.
:23:52. > :23:53.Some one as despicable as Hitler who didn't even think
:23:54. > :23:57.There was not, he brought them into the...
:23:58. > :24:00.To the Holocaust Centres, I understand that.
:24:01. > :24:11.Bashar Al-Assad, and now you've mispronounced his name a few times.
:24:12. > :24:13.I'm sorry, please stop shaking your head at me.
:24:14. > :24:15.If the president puts Russian salad dressing
:24:16. > :24:19.on his salad tonight, somehow that about
:24:20. > :24:22.Hey, Jonathan, somebody's asking a question, it's
:24:23. > :24:25.Julie's asking a question, please calm down.
:24:26. > :24:27.OK, you don't just get to yell out questions,
:24:28. > :24:30.you've got to raise your hand like big boys and girls.
:24:31. > :24:58.His future is bright, he may well be missed by many.
:24:59. > :25:00.Joining us from our London newsroom is Matt Zarb-Cousin
:25:01. > :25:03.who was the spokesman up until April for Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn.
:25:04. > :25:11.Good morning. What do you make of Sean Spicer out of the job in six
:25:12. > :25:17.months? I'm not surprised. One of the key things you have to have in a
:25:18. > :25:21.job like that is credibility. You have to have the credibility and the
:25:22. > :25:26.trust of the press, even if they don't particularly agree with the
:25:27. > :25:30.politics. When it comes to wanting to stop stories being written, they
:25:31. > :25:35.need to be a party trust and know you are credible. I think he became
:25:36. > :25:38.too much of a laughing stock after six months, and Trump's politics are
:25:39. > :25:42.controversial enough and he needs someone with a bit more
:25:43. > :25:46.level-headed. A better temperament, able to handle that sort of stuff
:25:47. > :25:51.and not become the story again and again. How easy it is not to become
:25:52. > :25:54.the story when you are the mouthpiece of your party bus tour
:25:55. > :26:00.leader and your President's policies? I think Barack Obama's
:26:01. > :26:06.spokesperson, no one could name them now. Was he as controversial as
:26:07. > :26:16.Donald Trump? I think we have to acknowledge in if you are like
:26:17. > :26:19.candidate departing from the status quo, you have to manage the
:26:20. > :26:22.relationship with the mainstream press as best you can. All your
:26:23. > :26:29.message will not grep through. Too often, his mistakes on the podium,
:26:30. > :26:33.overshadowed what Trump was saying. He has now bypassed the mainstream
:26:34. > :26:36.media using his Twitter account the last thing he needs is the
:26:37. > :26:46.spokesperson who are supposed to be there to trump's gaffes which
:26:47. > :26:49.overshadow the message. When you are told to want you to manage the press
:26:50. > :26:59.on the half of the party leader, what are the party leader, what
:27:00. > :27:06.other dos and don't's. You have to build up trust of the month. At that
:27:07. > :27:11.point you can stop stories being written, and hopefully they'll do it
:27:12. > :27:14.straight and reported fairly. How do you manage that relationship with
:27:15. > :27:20.the press? If you feel they are not giving it a fair run or a fair
:27:21. > :27:27.hearing? I think you have to build up relationships which over time.
:27:28. > :27:35.But the problem with Trump was he was an outsider, not a politician.
:27:36. > :27:40.So he didn't have the contacts if he had been a politician previously. He
:27:41. > :27:44.had to build that up from scratch. Jeremy was in a similar position as
:27:45. > :27:48.a backbencher before being leader. Obviously, those contacts and
:27:49. > :27:54.relationships needed to be built up over time. Now, since the election,
:27:55. > :27:58.there is a much better place. Do you think that press offices here have
:27:59. > :28:02.it easier in terms of a hostile press? Licking at Sean Spicer's
:28:03. > :28:10.relationship with the press in the United States? I wouldn't say they
:28:11. > :28:17.have it easier. The press here is, I compare the press lobby to a team of
:28:18. > :28:25.well resourced lawyers. They look at everything forensically and they are
:28:26. > :28:28.very good. Over in America, it is a public facing role. Here,
:28:29. > :28:31.spokespeople tend to be behind-the-scenes. They are often
:28:32. > :28:37.behind-the-scenes. You don't really hear who they are and they don't
:28:38. > :28:45.have to speak to the media themselves. It is often on a sources
:28:46. > :28:50.basis. At off the record basis. The level of scrutiny is similar, we are
:28:51. > :28:53.in a very interesting time politically, and there are a lot of
:28:54. > :28:57.candidates now who are appealing to people who want to depart from the
:28:58. > :29:01.status quo, but the media seems to be start in perhaps the old way of
:29:02. > :29:04.doing politics, and they haven't quite caught up with that yet. OK,
:29:05. > :29:13.thanks for joining us. Thank you. We're on BBC One until ten
:29:14. > :29:16.o'clock this morning, when Matt Tebbutt takes over
:29:17. > :29:24.in the Saturday kitchen. Good morning. Our special guest
:29:25. > :29:28.tomorrow is ace, it is Judy Murray. You're facing food heaven or food
:29:29. > :29:36.hell. What's your idea of food haven't? Anything with chicken,
:29:37. > :29:40.nuts. And hell? Apricots and couscous, I don't see the point of
:29:41. > :29:44.that. That's all I've got. We will talk about yourself later on, we've
:29:45. > :29:50.got two great chefs, Freddie Bird, first out on the show. Will you
:29:51. > :29:59.behave yourself? What will you cook? Prawns and sweet rice. And Paul
:30:00. > :30:07.Fosdick what are you cooking? Goode with -- pickled macro with tomatoes.
:30:08. > :30:13.And we will be talking about wine. You at home are in charge of food
:30:14. > :30:20.heaven or food hell, just go to the website to vote. Headlands coming
:30:21. > :30:51.up, we will see you soon. -- headlines coming up.
:30:52. > :30:53.Hello, this is Breakfast with Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt.
:30:54. > :30:55.Coming up before 10am, Stav will have the weather,
:30:56. > :31:01.but first a summary of this morning's main news.
:31:02. > :31:03.Nearly 1,000 children are being forced into temporary
:31:04. > :31:06.accommodation every month because more families
:31:07. > :31:09.are becoming homeless, according to councils in England.
:31:10. > :31:11.The Local Government Association says the number has increased
:31:12. > :31:15.It wants more powers to build what are described
:31:16. > :31:18.The Government says it is investing ?550 million to help
:31:19. > :31:25.Drone owners will have to complete a safety awareness course under
:31:26. > :31:30.Machines that weigh more than 250-grams will also
:31:31. > :31:32.have to be registered, amid growing concern about
:31:33. > :31:36.Earlier this month five flights were diverted from Gatwick Airport
:31:37. > :31:43.because a drone was flown too close to the runway.
:31:44. > :31:45.Boots the chemist has apologised for its response to a row
:31:46. > :31:47.about what it charges for the morning-after-pill.
:31:48. > :31:49.The chain initially rejected calls to reduce the price,
:31:50. > :31:51.saying it didn't want to encourage the misuse of emergency
:31:52. > :31:54.contraception, but after criticism from a string of Labour MPs,
:31:55. > :32:01.it now says it's looking at lower priced alternatives.
:32:02. > :32:04.The outgoing White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer has told
:32:05. > :32:08.an American television network that he resigned six
:32:09. > :32:10.months into the job because he feared there would be
:32:11. > :32:12."too many cooks in the kitchen" if he remained.
:32:13. > :32:15.His time at the podium was marked by a number
:32:16. > :32:18.of clashes with reporters, the first of which, was the row over
:32:19. > :32:22.just how many people attended Donald Trump's inauguration.
:32:23. > :32:24.An official photograph has been unveiled to mark
:32:25. > :32:28.It was taken at Kensington Palace by royal photographer Chris Jackson,
:32:29. > :32:31.who described the young prince as a "happy little boy".
:32:32. > :32:34.The prince has just returned to the UK from an official visit
:32:35. > :32:36.to Poland and Germany with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge
:32:37. > :32:42.Paintings by Michael Jackson's chimpanzee, Bubbles, have gone
:32:43. > :32:54.The king of pop's pet primate has been picking up a paintbrush
:32:55. > :33:00.It's hoped that some of the canvasses, which have been
:33:01. > :33:03.splashed with colourful strokes and splodges, could fetch ?1,500.
:33:04. > :33:04.The proceeds will help fund a sanctuary in Florida
:33:05. > :33:22.You quite like the work Charlie. I'm surprised. It looks good to me. The
:33:23. > :33:31.main thing is that Bubbles is enjoying that. Bubbles isn't the
:33:32. > :33:39.first chimpanzee. There was a famous chimpanzee in the 50s who did a lot
:33:40. > :33:45.of artwork and one of them was bought by Picasso. What did he do? I
:33:46. > :33:50.can't remember the chimpanzee's name, but in the 1950s, it was for
:33:51. > :33:55.London Zoo. It started doing artwork and they went for auction and
:33:56. > :34:00.Picasso was one of the people who bought one of the paintings. Chimps
:34:01. > :34:07.have a certain talent. We have had goats painting on the programme in
:34:08. > :34:13.the past. Have we? Yes. And a llama. That sold for ?14400. I apologise if
:34:14. > :34:20.you think I didn't believe you. It's incredible. I'm still reeling from
:34:21. > :34:25.Mike saying we had a goat artist on the programme. It is the kind of
:34:26. > :34:30.thing you'd remember! Anyway, we will move on sclaps OK.
:34:31. > :34:46.Let's get back to some solid ground! The third round has started, two big
:34:47. > :34:55.names teeing off, Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood.
:34:56. > :34:58.They have started and the conditions are much kinder today.
:34:59. > :35:00.So 77 players remain, and the man they have to catch,
:35:01. > :35:03.is the American Jordan Spieth, who heads the field at the halfway
:35:04. > :35:06.The American leads after two rounds from his compatriot
:35:07. > :35:10.Ian Poulter is the best-placed British player on three under par
:35:11. > :35:14.with Rory McIlroy's 68 putting him back in contention.
:35:15. > :35:19.Anything around even par in those conditions will be a really good
:35:20. > :35:22.score today. I got off to the best possible start. I continued where I
:35:23. > :35:25.left off last night. I made some birdies early on. That gave me a
:35:26. > :35:30.little bit of a cushion to play with. I needed to make some big up
:35:31. > :35:35.and downs around the middle of the round, but yeah, I mean, I did
:35:36. > :35:41.exactly what I wanted to do? I haven't played a major for a little
:35:42. > :35:46.while so it would be great to go out this weekend. Have a nice lie in and
:35:47. > :35:50.have a look at where the pin locations are and see from how other
:35:51. > :35:53.players are playing certain holes how the course should play.
:35:54. > :36:07.Obviously, it has been softened up right now. I just hope we get a nice
:36:08. > :36:10.weekend without too much rain. It seems like he will get his wish.
:36:11. > :36:13.Kadeena Cox won Britain's 14th gold at the World Para Athletics
:36:14. > :36:15.Championships last night, winning the T38 400m.
:36:16. > :36:17.Cox - who holds the world record in the event -
:36:18. > :36:20.beat the rest of the field by six seconds for her second medal
:36:21. > :36:23.She'll run again today in the T38 100m.
:36:24. > :36:26.Cox won gold, silver and bronze on the track in Rio last year
:36:27. > :36:38.I was confident for 300 meters. But I knew I didn't have the strength
:36:39. > :36:42.for the last 100. I have not been on the bike. The bike is where I get a
:36:43. > :36:45.lot of my strength from and I have not put in the work. That last 100
:36:46. > :36:48.meters will be horrible whatever way I run it. I needed to give myself a
:36:49. > :36:51.gap to be able to have a buffer if they did come back!
:36:52. > :36:53.Usain Bolt, was victorious in his final race,
:36:54. > :36:57.before his swansong, at the World Athletics
:36:58. > :37:00.Competing in the Monaco Diamond League,
:37:01. > :37:02.Bolt produced a season's best, running under 10 seconds,
:37:03. > :37:09.Britain's, C.J Ujah, finished fourth.
:37:10. > :37:13.I'm always excited for a championship.
:37:14. > :37:16.I think after that I will be sad, but I'm really excited
:37:17. > :37:25.I know there will be a lot of Jamaicans and I know it will be big.
:37:26. > :37:28.So for me, I'm really excited going into this.
:37:29. > :37:31.I'm just going to do my best as always and aim to win.
:37:32. > :37:37.There was a great run from Laura Muir
:37:38. > :37:39.in the women's 3,000 metres, smashing her personal
:37:40. > :37:41.best, by eight seconds, as she finished third,
:37:42. > :37:43.a place ahead of her fellow Scot, Eilish McColgan,
:37:44. > :37:45.who also set a new PB, 12 seconds faster
:37:46. > :37:54.Chris Froome is just two stages away from a fourth Tour De France title.
:37:55. > :37:57.He finished in the bunch on Stage 19 yesterday
:37:58. > :37:58.as Norway's Edvan Bosen-Hagen took the win.
:37:59. > :38:01.Froome has a 23-second lead to protect, going into the time
:38:02. > :38:07.If he emerges unscathed, he'll be crowned champion
:38:08. > :38:17.Tom Daley is through to the men's ten metre platform final,
:38:18. > :38:19.at the World Aquatics Championships in Hungary.
:38:20. > :38:22.Daley, who won bronze in this event in London,
:38:23. > :38:24.qualified in second place for this afternoon's showpiece.
:38:25. > :38:25.Compatriot Matty Lee is also through.
:38:26. > :38:32.I think this year it has been all about enjoying it. Last year was
:38:33. > :38:38.such a serious year with it being the Olympic yearment for me it was
:38:39. > :38:40.all about going out there and giving it the best shot and again have fun
:38:41. > :38:46.on the diving board. Wigan completed their regular
:38:47. > :38:47.Super League season with a crushing 34-0 victory over
:38:48. > :38:49.Leeds. Wigan had already qualified
:38:50. > :38:51.for the Super Eights, but ran in seven tries,
:38:52. > :38:53.against an injury hit Rhinos. There were wins elsewhere for, Leigh
:38:54. > :38:57.and Hull FC who move up to third. After a half century in his first
:38:58. > :38:59.game back for Surrey, Kevin Pietersen was brought back
:39:00. > :39:03.down to earth last night. Going into their T20 Blast game
:39:04. > :39:06.against Middlesex he was struggling with a calf injury and that may have
:39:07. > :39:10.been on his mind when he set off for a run, but changed his mind,
:39:11. > :39:13.leaving his Australian team-mate Aaron Finch stranded halfway down
:39:14. > :39:15.the pitch and unable to get back Surrey did manage to
:39:16. > :39:33.win though by 15 runs. In Cardiff it is the British
:39:34. > :39:37.speedway Grand Prix. That's it Cardiff.
:39:38. > :39:40.Now, in football and on a weekend when England and Scotland's women
:39:41. > :39:43.play their second matches at Euro 2017, I've been to Stoke to join
:39:44. > :39:46.some young women who are playing a new form of the game
:39:47. > :39:58.Well, we're all dressed up with our face paints on.
:39:59. > :40:08.It seems like an ordinary six aside indoor game.
:40:09. > :40:26.All that changes with the flick of a switch!
:40:27. > :40:29.It all started with glow badminton and glow squash two years ago.
:40:30. > :40:33.It spread across other parts of the country too.
:40:34. > :40:34.It is just the combination of the three factors,
:40:35. > :40:37.so it's playing football with a friend, the lights
:40:38. > :40:40.are off and they have got the headbands and music is on.
:40:41. > :40:45.When they are playing they are not worried about the image.
:40:46. > :40:48.Everybody looks the same or out there and going for it.
:40:49. > :40:51.It is great for teenage girls really.
:40:52. > :40:56.There is now weekly UV League here at Staffordshire University
:40:57. > :40:58.an initiative funded by the Premier League
:40:59. > :41:05.Sometimes you can't see which team-mates
:41:06. > :41:09.you're passing to as long as they are in an orange shirt.
:41:10. > :41:13.It's part of a wider push by Glow Active UK which helped start
:41:14. > :41:15.leagues at dozens of clubs to reach girls like Bonnie who says
:41:16. > :41:18.she would never have got into football had it not
:41:19. > :41:26.It's in the dark, you can't really see you in that.
:41:27. > :41:28.So if you're like embarrassed or anything, no point because it's
:41:29. > :41:40.Girls can show their personality with the way they put
:41:41. > :41:47.The opposition are making a substitution.
:41:48. > :42:01.Oh, tackled. We lost.
:42:02. > :42:05.The super sub made all the difference as the lights go
:42:06. > :42:08.94 caps for England, Sue Smith, her first
:42:09. > :42:22.It's great for maybe the young girls and boys that don't have confidence.
:42:23. > :42:25.So I think if you make a mistake, you don't know who has
:42:26. > :42:30.And me, I hope, when I managed to score an own goal,
:42:31. > :42:34.but it could have been anyone as you hide behind their UV paint
:42:35. > :42:40.which certainly makes for some interesting team photos!
:42:41. > :42:47.It was great fun. Yeah, I got away with my own goal which bounced off
:42:48. > :42:51.me because no one really knew who scored it.
:42:52. > :42:54.I went over the top with the face paints. I know I couldn't get it
:42:55. > :43:02.right. I thought it looked good. A bit scary. I was trying to add to
:43:03. > :43:10.it. It brings talent out that maybe they didn't know they had, you see,
:43:11. > :43:18.you don't know what's hiding under your Bushell. How long have you been
:43:19. > :43:21.waiting to say that? Two minutes! Speaking of mess, we're moving on to
:43:22. > :43:27.the hair industry. Have you got anything to say? We know all about
:43:28. > :43:32.nests, don't we? We do. Thank you very much, Mike.
:43:33. > :43:35.The hair and beauty industry has seen a rapid rise in complex
:43:36. > :43:37.procedures such as fillers and chemical peels.
:43:38. > :43:39.It has led to calls for mandatory regulation.
:43:40. > :43:41.The Hair and Barber Council and the Vocational Training
:43:42. > :43:44.Charitable Trust have taken their case to Parliament where
:43:45. > :43:48.They say they also hope it will end negative stereotypes associated
:43:49. > :44:12.Hi I'm Sam. I I am a beauty guru and I have been in the beauty industry
:44:13. > :44:17.for nearly 20 years. Unfortunately our industry is portrayed as a load
:44:18. > :44:21.of brainless bimbos that choose beauty because they are really not
:44:22. > :44:26.very good at anything else. I went to a private school. I got a
:44:27. > :44:36.scholarship. I think the stereotype of beauty therapy can be something
:44:37. > :44:39.that isn't how it should be. I did a BTECH national diploma and it was a
:44:40. > :44:46.two year course. It was really in-depth and we studied law,
:44:47. > :44:51.accounting, science, and anatomy and physiology and marketing as part of
:44:52. > :44:55.our course. I think it's vital that people that work within the hair and
:44:56. > :44:59.beauty industry have qualifications. After all, we are dealing on a
:45:00. > :45:03.really, really close level with our clients and often we're dealing with
:45:04. > :45:08.blood, we're dealing with bodily fluids and for things like massage,
:45:09. > :45:17.we need to know about anatomy and physiology.
:45:18. > :45:20.Keith Conniford is the head of The Hair and Barber
:45:21. > :45:30.Good morning. Good morning. So, it's an industry that isn't regulated.
:45:31. > :45:33.Correct. Which is quite surprising when you think how close and
:45:34. > :45:42.personal and physical treatments can be. How have they got away with this
:45:43. > :45:45.for so long? I don't know. It's something the hair and barber
:45:46. > :45:48.council tried to get sorted out for year, but successive governments
:45:49. > :45:52.don't seem to get it. Even though I can understand to a point regarding
:45:53. > :45:57.the industry, the consumer voice has been lost out of here completely.
:45:58. > :46:00.When you go to a hairdresser, a barber, a beauty spa, you expect the
:46:01. > :46:04.people that are carrying out the services on your hair or whatever
:46:05. > :46:06.that's being done, you expect them to have been properly trained and
:46:07. > :46:10.qualified and in quite often the case is that they haven't. They
:46:11. > :46:15.don't have to prove any qualification because if you go to a
:46:16. > :46:18.hairdresser or beauty salon, you see certificates on the wall, but they
:46:19. > :46:21.don't have to be on there? They don't have to have them. Training
:46:22. > :46:25.and becoming qualified is completely voluntary. And there is nothing to
:46:26. > :46:29.stop you tomorrow setting up for example a hairdressing salon if you
:46:30. > :46:32.wanted to and starting to cut hair. Clearly, there is a difference
:46:33. > :46:35.between someone cutting hair. I'm not dismissing the skill involved,
:46:36. > :46:39.but in terms of the potential risk to someone who is doing other
:46:40. > :46:43.treatments. We saw some of them there. These are wax treatments and
:46:44. > :46:46.any number of other skin care treatments and you think maybe the
:46:47. > :46:51.risk is there, are greater? They are. For example, with hairdressing
:46:52. > :46:55.you can be using fairly strong bleaches on people's hair. There is
:46:56. > :47:00.dye stuffs that people are using. If you are talking about the beauty
:47:01. > :47:04.industry, you talk about fillers and the peels, the chemical peels that
:47:05. > :47:08.they have and you know people need to be properly trained and qualified
:47:09. > :47:12.to use the chemicals because from a consumer and customer point of view
:47:13. > :47:16.they are the people that are putting themselves in your hands. So what
:47:17. > :47:19.happens then as a consumer and customer who put themselves in their
:47:20. > :47:23.hands if something goes wrong? Who looks after the consumer and the
:47:24. > :47:27.customer? It is not regulated so there isn't really any course that
:47:28. > :47:30.they can go to apart from going back to the salon or the spa or wherever
:47:31. > :47:36.they had the treatment. They don't have to do anything? No. There
:47:37. > :47:42.isn't, but I would hope they would try and do something, if they don't,
:47:43. > :47:49.the only course of action is to take it legally. If you are running a
:47:50. > :47:53.successful salon and in the course of your 25 or 30 years in business,
:47:54. > :47:56.you never harmed anyone, you go what's the problem? It doesn't
:47:57. > :48:01.happen all the time and there is no way of protecting the customer and
:48:02. > :48:07.raising quality and standards in our industry. What is the answer? The
:48:08. > :48:13.hair and barber council is a statutory authority which was set-up
:48:14. > :48:19.by an act of Parliament in 1964 and obviously we are in 2017 now, it is
:48:20. > :48:23.out jaited, but it set-up a voluntary register and the register
:48:24. > :48:27.was there so people could voluntarily sign up to, prove their
:48:28. > :48:30.qualifications and become state registered hairdressers and still in
:48:31. > :48:34.place now so people can voluntary do that. They can't... Is that enough?
:48:35. > :48:38.Well, it's not enough because they can't become a state registered
:48:39. > :48:40.hairdresser unless they prove their qualifications so that's good, but
:48:41. > :48:45.if somebody isn't qualified and choose not to try and register which
:48:46. > :48:49.they wouldn't be able to without the relevant qualifications and
:48:50. > :48:52.experience they don't have to do it. It's a sort of situation with no
:48:53. > :48:57.teeth. It is interesting to talk to you,
:48:58. > :49:02.Keith. It will make a lot of people think if they are having their
:49:03. > :49:08.weekend hairdressing appointment this weekend.
:49:09. > :49:10.It's 9.48am and you're watching Breakfast from BBC News.
:49:11. > :49:12.The main stories: Almost 1,000 children in England are being forced
:49:13. > :49:15.into temporary accommodation every month, according to local councils.
:49:16. > :49:17.Drone owners will have to complete a safety course
:49:18. > :49:19.and register their aircraft amid growing concern about
:49:20. > :49:34.I don't know what you're hope to this weekend. Maybe you're hoping
:49:35. > :49:41.for decent weather. Stav has the details. It is unsettled. We have
:49:42. > :49:47.some showers about generally across the UK. Now the area of low pressure
:49:48. > :49:50.responsible for this wet and windy weather yesterday is with us,
:49:51. > :49:55.bringing the sunshine and the showers. There is sunshine around.
:49:56. > :49:57.It is glorious in parts of England and Wales and Northern Ireland and
:49:58. > :50:00.Scotland, but the showers are ganging up across the south-west.
:50:01. > :50:03.They will pushing their way northwards and eastwards. We have
:50:04. > :50:06.got this weather front continuing to bring cloud and outbreaks of rain
:50:07. > :50:09.into Southern Scotland and northern and eastern England. The northern
:50:10. > :50:12.half of Scotland will remain fine today. You will probably see some of
:50:13. > :50:18.the best sunshine across the country and it will turn warm, 19 or 20
:50:19. > :50:21.Celsius in places. The rain turns heavy across central and Southern
:50:22. > :50:25.Scotland. There maybe rumble of thunder. Northern Ireland, central
:50:26. > :50:29.parts of the UK, some sunny spells, plenty of showers across the south
:50:30. > :50:32.and these will continue to become heavier as the afternoon wears on.
:50:33. > :50:35.Here is the picture then. Fairly breezy across the south and the
:50:36. > :50:40.south-west coast, but lighter winds elsewhere. So when the showers
:50:41. > :50:42.arrive, they will be slow moving. Thundery in the south and across
:50:43. > :50:47.northern England and Southern Scotland. In the sunshine we could
:50:48. > :50:50.make 20 or 21 Celsius. The same too for Northern Ireland and the north
:50:51. > :50:54.of Scotland. Gor the golf, it looks like there will be showers today and
:50:55. > :50:57.tomorrow, but some sunny spells. That will lift temperatures up to
:50:58. > :51:01.the high teens Celsius and the winds remaining light. The showers can
:51:02. > :51:04.continue on for a while this evening for the first part of the night.
:51:05. > :51:08.They tend to fizzle out across central and southern areas. Showery
:51:09. > :51:12.rain for northern England and Scotland. Here low cloud and murk
:51:13. > :51:17.too, but a chilly night to come across central and southern areas
:51:18. > :51:22.with mist and fog as well. We will have mist and fog around. Generally
:51:23. > :51:26.dry with sunshine and then into the afternoon showers will develop and
:51:27. > :51:29.some may turn out to be heavy and thundery, but I'm hopeful Sunday
:51:30. > :51:33.will be a better looking day than on Saturday. But it will feel warmer
:51:34. > :51:36.across-the-board. Monday and Tuesday, we are in between weather
:51:37. > :51:44.systems. A ridge of high pressure keeps things settled. Dry with sunny
:51:45. > :51:48.spells. Despite northerly winds temperatures reaching 23 or 24
:51:49. > :51:55.Celsius. Then it starts to turn unsettled again. Back to Naga and
:51:56. > :52:00.Charlie. Stav it has been lovely seeing you today. Feel the love
:52:01. > :52:04.there. Isn't that nice. I do like Stav.
:52:05. > :52:06.They were the sound track of the 90s.
:52:07. > :52:09.At one point, it was claimed songs by The Beautiful South were played
:52:10. > :52:21.The band broke up in 2007 but a chance Facebook message led
:52:22. > :52:26.Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott have now released their third album
:52:27. > :52:42.together, they're here to tell us all about it but first
:52:43. > :52:55.Do you want to talk us through the look? No. They are going to tell us
:52:56. > :52:59.about the new album. Have a listen to this.
:53:00. > :53:02.This is I Gotta Praise from Crooked Calypso.
:53:03. > :53:04.# Down on my knees and I'm begging you please.
:53:05. > :53:10.# A long-term relationship just a good squeeze.
:53:11. > :53:17.# The football team lose every game I attend.
:53:18. > :53:21.# The florist return any flowers I send.
:53:22. > :53:24.# I'm sick of the hours alone that I spend.
:53:25. > :53:41.# Spend all my minutes and waste all my days.
:53:42. > :53:43.# I've got a couple that I've got to serve.
:53:44. > :53:48.# I've got to give someone all they deserve.#
:53:49. > :53:52.Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott are here.
:53:53. > :53:59.You were just saying a moment ago, it's odd, isn't it, when you have
:54:00. > :54:03.got a history in music as you both have, long history in music, you
:54:04. > :54:07.were saying, you don't have much evidence of your personal stuff.
:54:08. > :54:11.When those clips get shown every once in a while, that's the bit
:54:12. > :54:16.that's will there still. That's the reminder. Not so much the music part
:54:17. > :54:20.because it was brilliant, brilliant singing and performing, but it's a
:54:21. > :54:26.nice reminder of how awful your dress sense was then! No, I don't. I
:54:27. > :54:31.think it's part of that time. Fashion was experimental. I thought
:54:32. > :54:37.we were different. When I tell my kids about the 80s and 90s I often
:54:38. > :54:43.say, everybody looked awful, but we looked pretty much like we do, but
:54:44. > :54:47.that's not true. I was lying! That's evidence I dressed badly and you
:54:48. > :54:53.did. The point about that in a way, change is a good thing, isn't it?
:54:54. > :54:58.Yeah. You have to move on and you both moved on in your own ways and
:54:59. > :55:04.then boa and be hold, you have come back together again. Take us through
:55:05. > :55:09.the story. We won't dwell on why you stopped working together, but more
:55:10. > :55:16.why you came back together? The reunification. I heard through a
:55:17. > :55:22.friend of mine that Jackie was on social media. One thing it is good
:55:23. > :55:25.for, getting in touch with somebody when you are not sure whether you
:55:26. > :55:31.might have upset them or left it too long or whatever. That's the draw of
:55:32. > :55:37.social media. I wrote a polite message, is this you? Lovely if it
:55:38. > :55:42.is, glad to see you're happy. So we started a conversation over an
:55:43. > :55:47.evening and it just became more and more friendly as it can do on that
:55:48. > :55:52.media. That's a big step to take. It is a big step to respond, I think,
:55:53. > :55:58.you're not quite sure what it's about and what it will lead to. What
:55:59. > :56:02.did you think about it? I had not known or had conversations with
:56:03. > :56:06.anyone really and especially not yourself from that time in my life,
:56:07. > :56:10.you know what I mean? So when you start to talk, it was just, it was
:56:11. > :56:14.just nice having a conversation with him again and not long after we were
:56:15. > :56:20.talking via social media he said, "I have got a thing coming up, do you
:56:21. > :56:25.want to be involved in it?" I was screamed at by my mum to say yes, do
:56:26. > :56:30.it. It was nice to sort of, the meeting I suppose was quite lovely
:56:31. > :56:35.as well because we hadn't seen each other for so long and we met outside
:56:36. > :56:41.the pub he owned, the one in Salford. He was with all the people
:56:42. > :56:44.that he knows now and me and him just sat there rehashing all this
:56:45. > :56:48.stuff, what about this? What about that? We were laughing in his
:56:49. > :56:52.terics. A lot of people remember fondly the way your voices worked
:56:53. > :56:58.together. It is something people latch on to. Did that automatically
:56:59. > :57:07.kick back in I personally think it did. I remember singing with Jaqui
:57:08. > :57:11.in rehearsal and thinking, I'm a very self critical bloke thinking
:57:12. > :57:22.this sounds wonderful. It sounds wonderful the voices together and
:57:23. > :57:26.quite often it is like three instruments, my voice and Jaqui's
:57:27. > :57:32.voice and when we played it, I played several gigs over the years,
:57:33. > :57:37.but when I saw how people were when Jaqui sang, the whole room lit up.
:57:38. > :57:42.It was like a magic beam going down from her voice to people's heads. I
:57:43. > :58:02.thought what a wonderful thing. The audience were transfixed. I
:58:03. > :58:07.don't like compliments. It was true. We were playing in a fair small
:58:08. > :58:11.place and you could see the love so to speak that people have for her
:58:12. > :58:14.voice. It's quite difficult, isn't it? I imagine when you came back
:58:15. > :58:35.together and thought we're going to bring out Crooked Calypso.
:58:36. > :58:43.I had the expectation, I'm going to enjoy it. At some point he said,
:58:44. > :58:47."What do you reckon about an album?" Again, I have always gone into it
:58:48. > :58:50.thinking I don't care what happens as long as I enjoy it. There will be
:58:51. > :58:53.a lot of people happy to hear and see you back together. It is lovely
:58:54. > :58:55.to see you this morning. Thank you very much for having us.
:58:56. > :58:57.Paul and Jacqui's new album is called Crooked Calypso.
:58:58. > :59:13.They will be on a UK and Ireland tour from October.
:59:14. > :59:17.Join us live, and follow the world's wildest animals...
