Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
Charlie Gard's parents return to the High Court, | :00:12. | :00:13. | |
as a judge prepares to decide what will happen to their son. | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
It is the latest stage of their five-month legal fight | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
They want him to be treated by a specialist | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
There are to grandmothers in their lives, and so it is important they | :00:25. | :00:58. | |
know who she was. Prince William | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
on keeping the memory of his mother alive through his children, | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
as the royal family prepares to mark It is the drug that turns people | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
into the walking dead. How spice is still causing havoc | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
on Britain's streets, more than a year | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
after it was banned. As the government says that farm | :01:13. | :01:20. | |
subsidies should be earned, not just handed out, I am at one of Britain's | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
biggest agricultural shows in Paris, speaking to farmers and some cows | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
about what they make of the future of their industry. | :01:31. | :01:31. | |
In sport: England are world champions after beating India | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
by nine runs in the Women's Cricket World Cup final at Lord's. | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
Chris Froome has won an extraordinary fourth Tour de France, | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
and Jordan Spieth won the open. He is just 23 years old and it is his | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
fourth major title. What a great weekend of sport. | :01:55. | :01:54. | |
We have an east-west split in the weather today. If you are in the | :01:55. | :02:05. | |
east there will be a bit more cloud, some spots of rain as well. If you | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
are in the west it will be mostly sunny, dry and warm. I will have | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
more details in 15 minutes. First, our main story: The parents | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
of Charlie Gard return to the High Court today, | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
with the judge set to consider His parents want to take | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
their terminally ill baby to America for experimental treatment, | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
but doctors at Great Ormond Street Hospital believe it won't work, | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
and Charlie should be allowed Our reporter Tom Burridge is outside | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
the High Court this morning. They have been there so many times. | :02:30. | :02:43. | |
Are they likely to get an answer today? Rob Lynott, Louise. It is | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
such a sad story. You feel for Chris and Connie and the doctors at Great | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
Ormond Street Hospital who have been treating him, but it is a judge who | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
will decide whether or not Connie and Chris, this parents, are allowed | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
to take him to New York for experimental treatments, a type of | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
therapy. Or whether, as doctors at Great Ormond Street Hospital have | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
been arguing, that therapy has such a small chance of success that it is | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
in the best interests of young Charlie Gard to be allowed to die | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
with dignity. He has a rare genetic disease called mitochondrial DNA | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
depletion syndrome, leaving him with irreversible rain damage and their | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
five-month long legal battle, as you have been saying, took them | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
initially to the High Court, the Court of Appeal, the Supreme Court | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
and the European Court of Human Rights -- brain damage. They are now | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
back at the High Court, and a judge will look at what they say is new | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
evidence, particularly linked to the opinion of an American doctor who | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
wants to treat Charlie. And that evidence will be crucial in this | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
hearing today, and possibly later in the week. The session starts at 2pm | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
today, and we could have a decision from the judge tomorrow. Thank you | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
very much, we are having a few problems hearing your microphone but | :03:57. | :03:57. | |
thank you very much indeed. In around half an hour we will be | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
speaking to a former High Court judge, to find out more | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
about the process cases like Charlie's have to go through, | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
and what factors need to be The Duke of Cambridge has revealed | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
how he tells his children stories about their grandmother, | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
Diana, Princess of Wales. As they approach the 20th | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
anniversary of their mother's death, Princes William and Harry have been | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
giving an insight into how they try to keep her memory alive, | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
as Greg Dawson reports. A mother's photograph | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
of her two boys. Made public for the first time, | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
it is an image that sums up the sense of fun | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
Princes William and Harry describe about Diana | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
in a new documentary. Nearly 20 years on from her death, | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
Prince William, now a parent himself, talks of reminding his | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
children of the grandmother We've got more photos up | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
round the house now, of her, and we talk | :04:44. | :04:55. | |
about her a bit and stuff. And it's hard, because | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
obviously Catherine didn't know her, so she can't really | :05:01. | :05:02. | |
provide that level of detail, so I do regularly, putting George | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
or Charlotte to bed, talk about her and try to remind | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
them that there are two grandmothers - there were two grandmothers - | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
in their lives. Prince Harry was a boy of just 12 | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
when he lost his mother. In a conversation with one | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
of her friends, Sir Elton John, they reflect on her compassion, | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
particularly her work Everybody in that | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
photograph is smiling. I mean, she had an energy, | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
she had a radiance. In every photograph, there's | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
a positive global, wonderful glow. Also, she had this incredible | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
ability which he kind of inherited - and I told him that, | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
and he said "Thanks very much" - to make people feel at ease and make | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
them feel that everything Much has been said and written | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
about Diana in the years But, for this anniversary, | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
it is her sons who are keen to remind people | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
of her impact on their lives Scientists say they are examining | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
a potential breakthrough in the case of the missing Sheffield | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
toddler Ben Needham. The child was last seen | :06:00. | :06:00. | |
near a rundown farmhouse on the Greek Island | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
of Kos, 26 years ago. South Yorkshire Police say | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
they believe Ben died as a result of a tragic accident, | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
but it has now been revealed soil samples taken during excavations | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
last year indicate potential signs We gathered an awful lot of | :06:12. | :06:23. | |
information, an awful lot of intelligence about what may have | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
happened to Ben, coming to the conclusion that we did. Some of the | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
items that we took back we submitted to further forensic work, and the | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
result of that to date, I am led to believe, shows signs that there is | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
still some humour DCOM position around those items that we did bring | :06:41. | :06:49. | |
back from Kos. -- some human decomposition. | :06:50. | :06:51. | |
Britain's economic growth forecast has been downgraded | :06:52. | :06:52. | |
by the International Monetary Fund, following a weaker-than-expected | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
performance at the start of the year. | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
In April it was predicted the economy would grow by 2%, | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
but that figure has now been revised to 1.7%. | :07:01. | :07:02. | |
The Treasury says the report highlights the importance of a good | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
A survey of people aged over 65 in Britain has found more than 40% | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
of them think they have been contacted by scammers. | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
The charity Age UK said, of those targeted, 16% of single | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
older people paid out money to fraudsters. | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
Here is our business correspondent Joe Lynam. | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
Fraud has always been with us, but technology has enabled | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
fraudsters to use increasingly creative and believable ways | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
In a survey of more than 1,000 over-65s, Age UK found that 43% had | :07:28. | :07:37. | |
been contacted by scammers hoping to defraud them. | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
Of those targeted, 16% of people living alone paid out some money. | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
Two thirds of those contacted by scammer did not report | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
We would encourage people to not worry about being seen | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
There are a lot of scammers who are relying on you and your | :07:56. | :08:03. | |
politeness, to not hang up the phone or delete the e-mail. | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
And really, if it's a call or an e-mail that you're not | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
expecting, that's offering you some sort of enticing-sounding offer, | :08:15. | :08:16. | |
or putting you under pressure to do something, | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
then alarm bells should be going off, | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
and you should just be strong and delete those things. | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
The most common types of scams were fraudulent e-mails and texts | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
That was followed by vishing, in which fraudsters | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
contact their target directly, purporting to be from their bank | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
The Government is promising what it calls a revolution in the way | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
electricity is generated, used and stored. | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
The Business Secretary, Greg Clark, is to announce more investment | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
in battery technology and details of a competition to boost innovation | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
Under the plans, it is thought households could save up to ?40 | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
The world's first full-scale floating wind farm has started | :08:51. | :08:59. | |
to take shape off the north-east coast of Scotland. | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
Eventually, five giant turbines will stretch for more than 175 | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
metres and supply power to 20,000 homes. | :09:05. | :09:06. | |
The first turbine was put into place off Peterhead, in Aberdeenshire. | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
The remaining four arrive from Norway in the coming weeks. | :09:10. | :09:26. | |
As you know, it is a skill I have honed over years. The silent sneeze | :09:27. | :09:35. | |
is very impressive. People say it is not very good for you. How do you | :09:36. | :09:44. | |
keep it in? It is years of practice. I can't wait to see this. | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
The Doctor Who writer Steven Moffat has laid to rest one of fans' most | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
fiery debates - what is the Time Lord's name? | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
And it may come as a surprise that he is insisting | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
it is Doctor Who, and not the Doctor, as many argue. | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
He told this year's Comic-Con in San Diego, the largest event | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
of its kind, dedicated to film, TV and pop culture, | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
that there was no doubt about the name. | :10:06. | :10:07. | |
Steven Moffat said it was established in the 1966 episode | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
The War Machines, starring William Hartnell. | :10:11. | :10:12. | |
But he admitted the Doctor doesn't often call himself | :10:13. | :10:14. | |
Doctor Who because, in Moffat's words, it is a stupid name. | :10:15. | :10:29. | |
Well, I mean... One of the big question is finally answered. The | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
thing is everyone calls him the doctor. Glad we got that settled. | :10:36. | :10:47. | |
Where do you start, where do you and then what is in the middle? We need | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
to give you quite a bit of time. What an amazing weekend. I think | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
there is one thing that comes out of it for me, and that is mental | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
resilience and also physical strength. We have seen some | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
incredible sporting performances over the weekend. At the golf, | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
Jordan Spieth not falling apart, keeping together, staying cool. The | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
women's cricketers were physically fitter than anyone else playing, and | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
that is what help them in the end. It may them mentally stronger as | :11:17. | :11:17. | |
well. They beat India by nine runs to win | :11:18. | :11:18. | |
the Women Cricket World Cup It went right down to the wire, | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
but England's Anya Shrubsole She took six wickets as India | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
collapsed and were bowled out for 219, falling short | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
of their target of 229. Chris Froome says his fourth time | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
winning the Tour de France still feels as sweet | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
as his previous victories. Froome is now second on the all-time | :11:40. | :11:41. | |
list of men to wear to Yellow Jordan Spieth has won | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
the Open Championship at Royal It is his third Major title, | :11:46. | :11:53. | |
and at 23, he became the youngest And at the Women's European | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
Championship, England beat Spain 2-0, with Jodie Taylor | :11:58. | :12:04. | |
scoring her fourth goal Meanwhile, Scotland | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
lost 2-1 to Portugal. Don't say I never give you anything. | :12:08. | :12:20. | |
If you were busy doing other stuff over this weekend, they you have | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
just a fantastic selection of the stories we will be talking about | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
today. And two England cricketers on the sofa tomorrow as well. Don't ask | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
me their names, because I don't think that's confirmed yet. We were | :12:35. | :12:42. | |
talking about the resilience. I heard an American on the radio | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
talking about intestinal fortitude. Who? Intestinal fortitude. Stomach | :12:46. | :12:54. | |
of steel. He is talking about Jordan Spieth, having been in a position a | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
few years ago at the past Masters where he was five ahead, and lost, | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
and this morning the paper says you don't want to be the person who | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
everyone thinks he has won a few majors, but he is a joker. How do | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
you say that calm, especially in golf, where it is all about you | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
ahead? And everyone is thinking he has lost it. Thank you very much. | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
See you later. Here is Carol with a look | :13:23. | :13:23. | |
at this morning's weather. Carol has lots of intestinal | :13:24. | :13:32. | |
fortitude. Good morning, a bit of an east-west split going on today but | :13:33. | :13:35. | |
the weather for the week ahead is going to be changeable. It is going | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
to be briefly warmer, especially in the west today and tomorrow. But | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
then we have got some rain coming our way on Wednesday. All of us are | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
going to see it. It will move through quite smartly. What we have | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
at the moment is this area of low pressure with its attendant front. | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
That is what produced all the showers as we go through the course | :13:54. | :14:05. | |
of the weekend. It will slowly drift eastwards through the course of the | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
day, but you can see a lot of cloud across central and eastern parts of | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
England associated with this. The low cloud is producing some rain | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
here and there, and there is a chilly breeze coming down the North | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
Sea. As we move into Scotland, the north-east, some cloud around this | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
morning, some low cloud. Moving away from that we are under brighter | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
skies. And again, in the sunshine, the temperature will pick up quite | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
quickly. Northern Ireland has a fine day ahead with a lot of dry weather | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
and a lot of sunshine coming your way, as indeed has Wales. | :14:34. | :14:35. | |
Temperatures at around 15 Celsius at 7am and the south-west England a | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
similar story in that we have got clear skies, a fair bit of sunshine | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
to start the day. Through the day, as a weather front continues to push | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
over towards the east, the cloud will start to break a touch. We will | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
see some brightness coming through. Can't completely rule out the shower | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
but certainly west is best in terms of sunshine. Could see an odd shower | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
across western Scotland. You can see in parts of East Anglia there will | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
be some brighter breaks. But don't forget, down this east coast, with | :15:01. | :15:20. | |
the wind coming in from the North Sea, from a northerly direction, it | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
will feel cooler. Much warmer out towards the west, in the sun. | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
Through the evening and overnight the showers tend to fade. There will | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
be one or two popping up elsewhere, but it is sensibly going to be a dry | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
night with some clear skies. There will be some fog here and there but | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
it will be fairly isolated and by no means is it going to be cold. The | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
temperature range of 11 to 15. So tomorrow we start off dry and bright | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
compared to today. Not as windy either, so not feeling that cold. | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
Sunshine around, and the cloud breaks up we will see sunny | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
intervals develop where we start with that cloud. Temperatures | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
tomorrow between 14 and 24 but later in the day the cloud will thicken | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
across Caundle, heralding the arrival of the next set of fronts. | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
Here it is Wednesday courtesy of this area of low pressure. You can | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
see also the isobars are tightly packed, so it is going to be windy. | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
That means for Wednesday that rain is going to come in from the west, | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
and it is going to be drifting steadily eastwards. On the wind, it | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
will blow through quite quickly but we will see some of it at some stage | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
moving from west to East. Then as we head on into Thursday, it is more of | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
a day of sunshine and showers across the board once again. 16 to around | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
22 will be a maximum temperature range. So changeable towards the end | :16:29. | :16:30. | |
of the week certainly holds true. The English cricketers are on the | :16:31. | :16:44. | |
front pages of pretty much all the papers. The front page of the Times, | :16:45. | :16:51. | |
talking about the University of Oxford, their academic reputation is | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
being exploited by overseas businessmen selling fake awards. The | :16:58. | :17:06. | |
English cricketers on the front page again in the Guardian. The Sun have | :17:07. | :17:15. | |
a story about CCTV spying on a football ground, and Love Ireland | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
comes to an end tonight, we will be speaking to one of the contestants a | :17:21. | :17:30. | |
bit later on. Once again, the England World Cup women's winners | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
are on the front page. Talking about this story, a pillar --a possible | :17:36. | :17:50. | |
forensic break in an old case. It is great, the cricket on the front | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
pages here as well. I don't know if this is something we would have seen | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
ten years ago, women's sport on the front page of the Daily Telegraph. | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
Fantastic picture of them celebrating yesterday. We will | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
surely those pictures throughout the morning. You can see how much it | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
meant to them. I know how much you are loving the golf on the weekend, | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
you were there on Saturday. We talked about Jordan Spieth, we'll | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
talk about him throughout the morning. Do we just mention here, | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
the best a mature who won the silver at the Royal Birkdale. You might not | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
have heard about him. His caddie is his brother, his mum and dad were | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
watching and so was his girlfriend. His girlfriend's name is Daisy | :18:33. | :18:42. | |
Meadows. Isn't that amazing? And all three of the big stories, the | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
cricket, Jordan Spieth and Chris Froome. Chris Froome winning the | :18:47. | :18:58. | |
Tour de France yesterday, but he has been knocked off some of the sports | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
pages. Do we not quite love him enough? When will we really, really | :19:05. | :19:11. | |
love him? I like hearing details about Chris Froome, we have had lots | :19:12. | :19:20. | |
of different details, all about the bike, what he's. On the bike. He | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
only carries one water bottle because of the extra weight, | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
somebody is dispatched to give him the extra water. He communicates | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
with his team with an earpiece. It is a team, we talk about that. The | :19:37. | :19:44. | |
team got him over that line. All very important, but can any of you | :19:45. | :19:55. | |
identify a chaffinch? That is what it looks like. According to one of | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
the papers, four out of five people cannot identify a chaffinch. A lot | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
of people were unable to say what an Irish tree looked like. And this | :20:06. | :20:13. | |
percentage, 30% say they have not been to the countryside for more | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
than two years -- oak tree. We need to get more in touch with nature. | :20:18. | :20:27. | |
And, very quickly... Cat news? This is potentially the world's oldest | :20:28. | :20:35. | |
cat, 31-year-old Sasha. Seven years younger than the former oldest cat, | :20:36. | :20:44. | |
who was 38. Bashar is 31. She looks in great shape. She has nearly died | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
a few times, apparently. Somebody attempted to poison her a few years | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
ago, but she is still going strong -- Sasha. See you later for the | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
sport. Earlier this year, we told | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
you about the shocking effects It's a former legal high, | :21:04. | :21:05. | |
which leaves users in BBC Breakfast has been told that, | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
despite being banned more than a year ago, even more more | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
virulent versions of the drug And it's becoming a particular | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
problem amongst the homeless Breakfast's Jayne McCubbin has spent | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
time with the emergency services and those on the front line | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
in Newcastle as they try to tackle It's 6am in Newcastle. Volunteers | :21:26. | :21:41. | |
are checking on rough sleepers. Are you all right? Traditional drugs, | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
they know how to deal with, but is the constantly changing nature of | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
new, psychoactive substances which cause concern. Spice is just one. It | :21:53. | :22:00. | |
is constantly evolving. We find the effects of it can be really extreme. | :22:01. | :22:08. | |
Peter tells us he is hooked. How long have you been doing it? For the | :22:09. | :22:19. | |
past few years. The images of so-called macro one zombies court | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
headlines, for a while. But while the headlines have faded, the | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
problem hasn't. These outreach workers are among 250 people who | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
have been given special emergency training. When Darren and his | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
colleague found a rough sleeper, unresponsive, they knew exactly what | :22:40. | :22:46. | |
to do. He was on the phone to emergency services, I was busy | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
giving chest compression is until the ambulance service arrived. How | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
was the guy? He is doing well, doing fine. That was why my saved, but | :22:56. | :23:02. | |
latest official figures show that while NPS deaths are rare, they are | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
increasing by just over a quarter in one year, to 114 deaths. Medics who | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
helped train people like Darren Kellas casualties rates are rising. | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
We are starting to see a spike again. What is that down to? An | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
increase of different and new drugs now on the market. There is a drug | :23:23. | :23:30. | |
called super spice. They tell me the ban has led to a change, but only in | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
the kind of user being admitted, not the number. I am not convinced that | :23:36. | :23:42. | |
the pressures have changed much. We would expect to see a number of | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
people everyday. Some may be unresponsive, some aggressive. It | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
depends what is in the drug. This sample, we have instructed... They | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
are trying to find that out in this lab at Manchester Metropolitan | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
University. They have a unique way of working with police, samples were | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
analysed within 24 hours instead of four weeks. Toxicity results are | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
immediately fed back to users in the emergency services dealing with the | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
fallout. This sample was linked to a significant rise in hospitalisation | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
a few months ago about 53 people hospitalised. Because of one batch? | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
Yes. How old were you when you first started? Probably about 14. If the | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
ban had been in place for the start, this man might never have started | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
taking drugs. He lost ten years of his life. Today, he's kicked the | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
habit, but he says young people are finding new ways of lying on the | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
street and online. Is there any evidence that the problem is going | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
away? No, if anything it is getting a lot worse. Through the streets of | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
Newcastle, is kids are starting to get on with it. The problem is being | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
ignored. It is not being bored by the government. NPS is mentioned in | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
its drug strategy for the first time. But with no additional funds | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
to tackle it, some say this is a problem which won't easily be fixed. | :25:11. | :25:18. | |
A Home Office spokesperson told Breakfast that the Government's | :25:19. | :25:20. | |
new Drug Strategy is supporting people through treatment, | :25:21. | :25:22. | |
while also tackling the supply of illegal drugs. | :25:23. | :25:29. | |
With uncertainty over post-Brexit subsidies, | :25:30. | :25:30. | |
there are fears the Welsh farming industry could suffer after Britain | :25:31. | :25:33. | |
We've sent Sean to the Royal Welsh Show to chew the cud. | :25:34. | :25:47. | |
We have about 7000 livestock here across the ages this morning. It has | :25:48. | :25:54. | |
been going for decades and decades. A lot of the talk today will be | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
about subsidies. There are a lot of subsidies that farmers get from the | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
EU. We heard from Michael Gove on Friday. ?2 billion is how much | :26:06. | :26:12. | |
subsidies are at the minute. In Wales, ?200 million for Welsh | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
farmers comes from that. It is one of the biggest regions in the | :26:19. | :26:25. | |
country. The government have said subsidies will stay in place until | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
2022, but people are still getting ready for all the awards and prizes | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
going on today. These are beef cattle, and they? What are you | :26:36. | :26:45. | |
getting up to? -- aren't. He is basically trying to make them look | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
pretty. You want the black to shine through, you want to emphasise the | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
angles of the animal. It's a chance to show off to the farming community | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
and to buyers exactly what he is doing. The cattle are great. We will | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
talk a lot more about that over the morning. We will get into | :27:06. | :30:32. | |
with the latest from the BBC London newsroom. | :30:33. | :30:34. | |
There's plenty more on our website | :30:35. | :30:36. | |
Now though it's back to Dan and Louise. | :30:37. | :30:40. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. | :30:41. | :30:43. | |
We will bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment. | :30:44. | :30:52. | |
But also on Breakfast this morning: We will be joined by the mother | :30:53. | :30:55. | |
of missing airman Corrie McKeague, as she calls on police not to give | :30:56. | :30:59. | |
It started sneaking back a little bit just before the World Cup in | :31:00. | :31:11. | |
2015. I was under huge pressure to reach certain fitness levels. | :31:12. | :31:13. | |
As one of the world's top rugby referees, he is used to facing | :31:14. | :31:16. | |
But, after 8:00am, Nigel Owens will be here to talk | :31:17. | :31:20. | |
Nice to see you. There is the most terrible smell in here. | :31:21. | :31:31. | |
And, after 8:30am, we are heading to Norfolk to find out how | :31:32. | :31:34. | |
the owners of Wiveton Hall are making a 17th-century manor | :31:35. | :31:37. | |
But now a summary of this morning's main news: | :31:38. | :31:47. | |
The parents of Charlie Gard return to the High Court today, | :31:48. | :31:50. | |
with the judge set to consider new evidence from a US neurologist. | :31:51. | :31:54. | |
His parents want to take their terminally ill baby to America | :31:55. | :31:56. | |
for experimental treatment, but doctors at Great Ormond Street | :31:57. | :31:59. | |
Hospital believe it won't work and the 11-month-old should be | :32:00. | :32:02. | |
Our reporter Tom Burridge is outside the High Court this morning. | :32:03. | :32:13. | |
Good morning to you. When are we likely to get clarity on what the | :32:14. | :32:20. | |
decision will be? Good morning. Well, we think a decision could come | :32:21. | :32:24. | |
from the judge any time from tomorrow. So the court is sitting | :32:25. | :32:28. | |
this afternoon and will consider what Charlie's parents consider to | :32:29. | :32:32. | |
be new evidence, particularly from this American doctor who claims that | :32:33. | :32:37. | |
his treatment, an experimental treatment, has a 10% chance of | :32:38. | :32:43. | |
improving Charlie's health, now Great Ormond Street Hospital say the | :32:44. | :32:47. | |
evidence is not new but they do welcome the fact that this evidence | :32:48. | :32:50. | |
is being considered by the court. It is such a sad case. You feel for | :32:51. | :32:54. | |
Connie and Chris, Charlie's parents, you also feel for the doctors who | :32:55. | :32:58. | |
have been treating the boy at Great Ormond Street Hospital. Over the | :32:59. | :33:01. | |
weekend Great Ormond Street Hospital released a statement saying that | :33:02. | :33:04. | |
doctors and nurses have suffered a torrent of abuse. Thousands of | :33:05. | :33:08. | |
messages, verbal abuse in the street and hate messages online, including | :33:09. | :33:13. | |
death threats. We got a longer statement yesterday from Connie and | :33:14. | :33:16. | |
Chris, Charlie's parents, saying that they have also been the subject | :33:17. | :33:22. | |
of a lot of abuse, and a backlash, since that statement was released on | :33:23. | :33:24. | |
Saturday I Great Ormond Street Hospital. We will speak to you again | :33:25. | :33:29. | |
later on. And we will be speaking to a judge shortly who has been | :33:30. | :33:32. | |
involved in cases like this, to discuss a little bit about how you | :33:33. | :33:34. | |
make those decisions. The Duke of Cambridge has revealed | :33:35. | :33:35. | |
how he tells his children stories about their grandmother, | :33:36. | :33:38. | |
Diana, Princess of Wales. As they approach the 20th | :33:39. | :33:40. | |
anniversary of their mother's death, Princes William and Harry have been | :33:41. | :33:43. | |
giving an insight into how It is part of a new documentary | :33:44. | :33:46. | |
that airs tonight. At least 24 people have been killed | :33:47. | :33:55. | |
and more than 40 injured in a suicide bomb attack | :33:56. | :33:58. | |
in the Afghan capital, It is understood the attacker | :33:59. | :34:00. | |
detonated the car bomb close to a bus carrying government | :34:01. | :34:07. | |
employees in the west of the city. It is not yet clear | :34:08. | :34:11. | |
who was behind the attack. Scientists say they are examining | :34:12. | :34:14. | |
a potential breakthrough in the case of the missing Sheffield | :34:15. | :34:17. | |
toddler Ben Needham. The child was last seen | :34:18. | :34:19. | |
near a rundown farmhouse on the Greek island | :34:20. | :34:22. | |
of Kos, 26 years ago. South Yorkshire Police say | :34:23. | :34:24. | |
they believe Ben died as a result of a tragic accident, | :34:25. | :34:27. | |
but it has now been revealed soil samples taken during excavations | :34:28. | :34:30. | |
last year indicate potential signs The Government is promising what it | :34:31. | :34:33. | |
calls a revolution in the way electricity is generated, | :34:34. | :34:42. | |
used and stored. The business secretary, Greg Clark, | :34:43. | :34:44. | |
is to announce more investment in battery technology and details | :34:45. | :34:46. | |
of a competition to boost innovation Under the plans, it is thought | :34:47. | :34:49. | |
households could save up to ?40 Two thirds of pregnant women are | :34:50. | :35:05. | |
unsure how much they should consume and many feel under pressure to eat | :35:06. | :35:09. | |
larger meals in front of other people according to a survey of | :35:10. | :35:12. | |
higher national charity partnership which says the idea of eating for | :35:13. | :35:16. | |
two is a myth which can be harmful to both mother to be and baby. | :35:17. | :35:20. | |
Official guidelines suggest women do not need to eat anything extra | :35:21. | :35:24. | |
during the first six months of pregnancy, and only require an | :35:25. | :35:29. | |
additional 200 calories a day in the final months. Which actually isn't | :35:30. | :35:33. | |
that much, is it? Hardly anything. We shall be discussing a little bit | :35:34. | :35:38. | |
later on. I thought that was more to our news bulletin, but we have | :35:39. | :35:42. | |
reached the end! We have a pregnant mum coming on who is 8.5 months | :35:43. | :35:50. | |
pregnant. So have we got any towels? I could do that. You have | :35:51. | :35:56. | |
actually... I have been there in an emergency. You are our BBC | :35:57. | :36:01. | |
Breakfast... Emergency midwife. I was going to say both person, but I | :36:02. | :36:07. | |
think midwife is the more recognised term. -- birth person. Sometimes you | :36:08. | :36:18. | |
get it where there is a weekend with a lot of things to talk about at | :36:19. | :36:22. | |
this weekend people are going to work, and there is so much to | :36:23. | :36:26. | |
discuss which happened over the weekend, on whichever field you are | :36:27. | :36:30. | |
looking at. You could have spent the entire weekend watching lots and | :36:31. | :36:32. | |
lots of sport. England's cricketers are waking up | :36:33. | :36:37. | |
this morning as world champions, after beating India by nine runs | :36:38. | :36:39. | |
in the Women's Cricket World Cup Natalie Sciver top-scored | :36:40. | :36:43. | |
for England, as they set a target India looked comfortable | :36:44. | :36:48. | |
chasing that target, But after she was dismissed, | :36:49. | :36:51. | |
India collapsed, losing their last England's Anya Shrubsole, | :36:52. | :36:55. | |
who took the winning wicket, In front of a sell-out crowd, | :36:56. | :36:59. | |
England lifted the trophy I always think it's better winning | :37:00. | :37:03. | |
when you are all out there in the field, because you've | :37:04. | :37:18. | |
got your team-mates around And this | :37:19. | :37:22. | |
World Cup really has People have chipped | :37:23. | :37:27. | |
in along the way. We have fought our way through some | :37:28. | :37:30. | |
games, haven't necessarily won But tournament cricket | :37:31. | :37:33. | |
is all about winning. It's not necessarily about how | :37:34. | :37:36. | |
you win, it's just getting So Shrubsole has won | :37:37. | :37:39. | |
the World Cup at Lord's, and before the match, | :37:40. | :37:42. | |
her dad tweeted this. This is Anya back in 2001, | :37:43. | :37:44. | |
visiting Lord's, and his tweet says, I'd like to play here, for England, | :37:45. | :37:48. | |
in a World Cup final." Well, 16 years later, | :37:49. | :37:52. | |
Anya did just that. That fabulous? Talk about realising | :37:53. | :37:59. | |
your dream. I wonder if when he took it he thought I will save that one | :38:00. | :38:04. | |
just in case. And there is a certain look in her eyes, are confident that | :38:05. | :38:09. | |
I should be out there. -- a confidence. | :38:10. | :38:11. | |
Chris Froome has sealed his fourth Tour de France title, | :38:12. | :38:13. | |
to put him second on the all-time list. | :38:14. | :38:16. | |
He came through the largely processional final stage | :38:17. | :38:18. | |
through Paris unscathed, and managed to enjoy a glass | :38:19. | :38:20. | |
It is his third triumph in a row, and he did it without winning | :38:21. | :38:26. | |
Incredible feeling, to ride onto the Champs-Elysees. | :38:27. | :38:29. | |
Even after having done it three times previously, | :38:30. | :38:32. | |
It's still - all the same emotions are here. | :38:33. | :38:39. | |
It's just incredible, absolutely incredible. | :38:40. | :38:41. | |
American Jordan Spieth is the new Open champion, | :38:42. | :38:43. | |
but he did it the hard way, after a really topsy-turvy final | :38:44. | :38:46. | |
He was already struggling by the time he reached the 13th, | :38:47. | :38:52. | |
when his tee shot ended up on a steep bank. | :38:53. | :38:55. | |
After slipping out of the lead with a bogey on that hole, | :38:56. | :38:58. | |
he then produced an amazing putting masterclass to pick up five shots | :38:59. | :39:01. | |
over the next four, including this monster eagle putt. | :39:02. | :39:04. | |
He is only the second man, after Jack Nicklaus, | :39:05. | :39:06. | |
to have won three Major titles before turning 24, | :39:07. | :39:08. | |
I am going to thoroughly enjoy this. I look back on 2015, and thought | :39:09. | :39:34. | |
yes, I enjoyed it, but I never realised the significance until you | :39:35. | :39:38. | |
kind of hidden low, hit a pitfall, to appreciate the highs so much. -- | :39:39. | :39:44. | |
hit a low. And this is as much of the high as I have ever experienced | :39:45. | :39:48. | |
in my golfing life, and I am going to enjoy it more than I have enjoyed | :39:49. | :39:52. | |
anything I have accomplished in the past. | :39:53. | :39:53. | |
He is the definition of a cool customer. How do you stay calm when | :39:54. | :40:00. | |
everything is going wrong? That is the success of it all. And Matt | :40:01. | :40:08. | |
Kuchar scored two birdies in his last few holes, and finished second. | :40:09. | :40:11. | |
Shall I just carry on? England look set to progress | :40:12. | :40:14. | |
to the knockout stages of the Women's European | :40:15. | :40:16. | |
Championship, after a 2-0 win over Spain, in Breda, and they had | :40:17. | :40:19. | |
a helping hand from one Fran Kirby had put England 1-0 up, | :40:20. | :40:22. | |
but then Ellen White appeared The referee awarded Spain a penalty, | :40:23. | :40:29. | |
then changed her mind. England escaped, and Jodie Taylor | :40:30. | :40:34. | |
made sure they took advantage, After the game, defender Lucy Bronze | :40:35. | :40:37. | |
admitted she reminded the referee I actually saw it right in front of | :40:38. | :40:50. | |
me and said that is not a penalty. And she said you're right, that is | :40:51. | :40:55. | |
my mistake. So fair play to her for going back on it. I don't think a | :40:56. | :40:59. | |
lot of referees would be brave enough to do that on such a big game | :41:00. | :41:01. | |
and such a big decision. England look set to progress | :41:02. | :41:03. | |
to the knockout stages Scotland look as though they will be | :41:04. | :41:22. | |
heading out at the group stage They did score against Portugal | :41:23. | :41:25. | |
in Rotterdam, Erin Cuthbert But Portugal scored to make it 2-1 | :41:26. | :41:29. | |
and register their first win. Scotland sit bottom | :41:30. | :41:33. | |
of the group without a point. Great Britain have ended the World | :41:34. | :41:36. | |
Para Athletics Championships They won four on the final morning | :41:37. | :41:38. | |
at the London Stadium, including another gold | :41:39. | :41:42. | |
for Sammi Kinghorn, who added the T53 title to her | :41:43. | :41:44. | |
200 metres gold. GB have won eight more medals | :41:45. | :41:46. | |
at these championships than they managed in | :41:47. | :41:49. | |
Doha two years ago. Adam Peaty goes in his first final | :41:50. | :41:51. | |
of the World Aquatics Championships He qualified for the 100 | :41:52. | :41:54. | |
metre breaststroke final, setting a new World Championship | :41:55. | :41:57. | |
record time of just Britain's Ross Murdoch | :41:58. | :42:00. | |
will also be in that final. Seven other Brits also | :42:01. | :42:03. | |
race in finals today. There is just so much to talk about. | :42:04. | :42:10. | |
Thank you very much, we will talk at more length throughout the | :42:11. | :42:13. | |
programme. About keeping calm, cool and collected and how all those | :42:14. | :42:16. | |
people who won this weekend managed to do that. | :42:17. | :42:17. | |
It is the culmination of a five-month legal battle that | :42:18. | :42:20. | |
has drawn international attention, and interventions from figures | :42:21. | :42:22. | |
Today, the parents of terminally ill baby Charlie Gard will return | :42:23. | :42:26. | |
to the High Court, as they continue their fight to be allowed | :42:27. | :42:30. | |
to take their son to the US for experimental therapy. | :42:31. | :42:32. | |
Treatment doctors here argue won't help him. | :42:33. | :42:34. | |
It is clearly a highly emotional and complex case. | :42:35. | :42:37. | |
Let's get the thoughts of former High Court judge, | :42:38. | :42:39. | |
Good morning to you. Thank you very much indeed for joining us. We have | :42:40. | :42:45. | |
talked to Charlie Gard's mother, Connie, here on the programme. | :42:46. | :42:49. | |
Obviously incredibly difficult for them. Tell us about the impact of | :42:50. | :42:52. | |
having to make these decisions on people like you. Well, thank you and | :42:53. | :42:58. | |
good morning. I have had to do a few of these before I retired, and they | :42:59. | :43:02. | |
do have, obviously, a tremendous impact on not just the judge but | :43:03. | :43:09. | |
everybody involved in the case. The judge has his or her own particular | :43:10. | :43:14. | |
pressures, because at the end of the day they have the final say. But you | :43:15. | :43:21. | |
are sharing, merely, in the anguish and the emotional pressures that | :43:22. | :43:24. | |
apply to everybody who is involved in the case. Absolutely, tell us | :43:25. | :43:33. | |
about how a judge decides what is right in what is clearly a difficult | :43:34. | :43:37. | |
and emotional case for everyone, as you say. Well, a judge has to | :43:38. | :43:42. | |
justify their decision on the basis that the decision is in the best | :43:43. | :43:46. | |
interests of the child. As a society, of course, I think we find | :43:47. | :43:50. | |
it quite difficult to spell out how it is in the child's best interest | :43:51. | :43:55. | |
that they should die, but I think instinctively everybody knows that | :43:56. | :43:58. | |
they must come a stage when that is indeed the case. So the judge is | :43:59. | :44:03. | |
trying to work out from all the evidence, including the evidence of | :44:04. | :44:05. | |
the parents and everybody else, just what is in the best interest of that | :44:06. | :44:10. | |
particular child at that particular time. And does it weigh on your | :44:11. | :44:16. | |
mind, these kinds of decisions? Obviously they wear on your mind in | :44:17. | :44:21. | |
the sense that once you start a case like that it is very difficult to | :44:22. | :44:27. | |
think about very much else. And of course, when you have finished a | :44:28. | :44:31. | |
case like that, particularly if you have made a decision that treatment | :44:32. | :44:35. | |
should be withdrawn, then, you know, you will get the telephone call | :44:36. | :44:39. | |
telling you that the baby has died, and that is the kind of thing you | :44:40. | :44:41. | |
don't readily forget. At the end of the day, the judge | :44:42. | :44:52. | |
weighing all the evidence. Is it the judge that has the final say, or is | :44:53. | :44:56. | |
it the medical opinion? The judge has the final say. That's the whole | :44:57. | :45:02. | |
purpose of having judges, so that disputes between the states, as the | :45:03. | :45:09. | |
national health is, and parents, can have a final resolution. And the | :45:10. | :45:15. | |
parents have spoken to us about the difficulty for them fighting this | :45:16. | :45:19. | |
case. We also know that there have been threats against great Ormond | :45:20. | :45:27. | |
Street and such, what would you say about the care that the doctors have | :45:28. | :45:35. | |
been giving Charlie Gard? The quality of life in the medical care | :45:36. | :45:39. | |
that is being given, I don't think that would be questioned, or the | :45:40. | :45:42. | |
fact that the parents are anxious to do what is right for their child. | :45:43. | :45:47. | |
You would find that in every similar case that we deal with in this. This | :45:48. | :45:51. | |
happens to have gotten an awful lot of publicity, but it's not a unique | :45:52. | :45:58. | |
case. Thank you very much for your time. Good morning, if you have just | :45:59. | :46:04. | |
turned on your television. Here's Carol with a look | :46:05. | :46:05. | |
at this morning's weather. Good morning to you. Today, an | :46:06. | :46:15. | |
east-west split. West, we will see some sunshine, east, a bit more | :46:16. | :46:20. | |
cloud and some rain. Through the course of the week, the weather is | :46:21. | :46:27. | |
going to be changeable. Warmer inner west, but through the middle part of | :46:28. | :46:31. | |
the week, an area of low pressure coming our. It seems to bring rain | :46:32. | :46:37. | |
across the whole of UK. The weather dominating the weekend is still with | :46:38. | :46:42. | |
us, producing a fair bit of cloud. Also some showery outbreaks of rain. | :46:43. | :46:46. | |
You can see all this cloud extending through the Midlands, over towards | :46:47. | :46:50. | |
East Anglia and Kent. Heading north, we also have it. Reducing some rain, | :46:51. | :46:56. | |
particularly across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire this morning. You can | :46:57. | :46:59. | |
see we've got some splashes elsewhere as well. Cloud pushing up | :47:00. | :47:04. | |
to the borders, the same across south-east Scotland. Further west, | :47:05. | :47:09. | |
under blue skies. Northern Ireland, a clearer start today for you. | :47:10. | :47:14. | |
Temperatures picking up quickly in the morning sunshine. The same for | :47:15. | :47:19. | |
Wales. By the time we get to eight o'clock, temperatures roughly around | :47:20. | :47:24. | |
18 degrees. Some doubt whether cloud, but again, a dry and sunny | :47:25. | :47:28. | |
start to the day. Through today, that weather front drifts back to | :47:29. | :47:34. | |
the North Sea, taking remnants of rain with it. On the east coast, and | :47:35. | :47:39. | |
onshore flow. A brisk wind coming from the north. Feeling cooler, | :47:40. | :47:44. | |
looking at 16- 17 down the east coast. In the sunshine and towards | :47:45. | :47:49. | |
the west, likely to get up to about 24. We could see the odd shower | :47:50. | :47:53. | |
across western Scotland later in the day. In the evening and overnight, | :47:54. | :47:59. | |
many showers tending to fade. Wind tending to drop a touch, some | :48:00. | :48:03. | |
clearer skies. We could see some isolated pockets of fog, nothing too | :48:04. | :48:11. | |
drastic. In Scotland, temperatures could dip down into lows single | :48:12. | :48:15. | |
figures. For the rest of us, good shape, staying in double figures. | :48:16. | :48:20. | |
Tomorrow, starting on a much dry your note down the east coast. The | :48:21. | :48:24. | |
wind will be lighter, not feeling as cold as it is going to do today. | :48:25. | :48:28. | |
They are breaking up, some sunshine developing. One or two showers, but | :48:29. | :48:35. | |
for most, dry. However, later ran in the day, cloud thickening across | :48:36. | :48:39. | |
Cornwall, you can see the rain coming in across the aisle of silly. | :48:40. | :48:49. | |
Moving west to east across Wednesday, accompanied by gusty | :48:50. | :48:54. | |
winds. Starting off on a dry note in the east, not lasting very long. The | :48:55. | :49:00. | |
rain comes in, scooted from the west to east. Brightening up behind it, | :49:01. | :49:07. | |
still quite windy with it. Thank you very much, Carol. | :49:08. | :49:18. | |
With uncertainty over post-Brexit subsidies, | :49:19. | :49:20. | |
there are fears the Welsh farming industry could suffer after Britain | :49:21. | :49:23. | |
The impact of Brexit on the future of farming in Wales is likely | :49:24. | :49:32. | |
to dominate discussion at this year's Royal Welsh Show, | :49:33. | :49:35. | |
It's the biggest event in the British agricultural calendar | :49:36. | :49:38. | |
- and Sean is there for us this morning. | :49:39. | :49:40. | |
I am expecting you to be somewhat of an expert on the livestock. PEI, it | :49:41. | :49:47. | |
is incredible. Now, Hazel here is a real beauty. There are about 7000 of | :49:48. | :49:54. | |
these out this morning, all up for a variety of prizes. A lot of | :49:55. | :50:02. | |
polishing and shining is going on now, we can go and have a look just | :50:03. | :50:08. | |
outside here. A bit closer to what is going on. What's the name of this | :50:09. | :50:14. | |
lovely ball you've got here? She is actually a house. Her name is... | :50:15. | :50:31. | |
INAUDIBLE. She is the maiden heifer. Best of luck today. What are you | :50:32. | :50:37. | |
doing now, polishing? Yes, a bit of black Shine on her feet. I am going | :50:38. | :50:48. | |
to cover myself. -- shine. A day like this, it is pretty important to | :50:49. | :50:53. | |
show off what you guys do? Absolutely, this is a shop window of | :50:54. | :50:56. | |
what Wales produces for the world. This is probably the best beef in | :50:57. | :51:02. | |
the world, pasture fed, absolutely fantastic. A lot of the talk today, | :51:03. | :51:09. | |
URA she from. We heard from Michael Gove on Friday about views for | :51:10. | :51:19. | |
subsidies further down the road. Are you worried about that? About 60% of | :51:20. | :51:24. | |
our income comes from those subsidies, so it is a bit scary. But | :51:25. | :51:28. | |
it might be a fantastic opportunity. I think we could build it and manage | :51:29. | :51:35. | |
it on our bellies. I think Welsh and UK governments need to be procuring | :51:36. | :51:41. | |
from Britain, not looking for cheaper imports. Practice what they | :51:42. | :51:47. | |
preach, start to support the UK. Let's build this nation together. | :51:48. | :51:53. | |
Watch out there, she's just getting a bit grumpy. What is more of an | :51:54. | :51:57. | |
issue for farmers, subsidies that Michael Gove was talking about, or | :51:58. | :52:04. | |
is it that access to other markets? What we want is a fair price for | :52:05. | :52:09. | |
what we produce. We only get that through competition and access to | :52:10. | :52:14. | |
trade. Customers want low prices? They do, but they want value. Price | :52:15. | :52:20. | |
isn't everything. This beef is not treated with hormones, not | :52:21. | :52:24. | |
genetically modified. If someone wants the cheapest, that is a very | :52:25. | :52:27. | |
different product. We are talking about the highest welfare standards | :52:28. | :52:32. | |
in the world, the highest grade in the world. We understand it needs to | :52:33. | :52:36. | |
be the right price, but we have to recognise that. Is that one thing | :52:37. | :52:42. | |
that could change? The standards in the UK? Yes, cheap food comes at a | :52:43. | :52:48. | |
cost to the environment and to the animals. These are animals living on | :52:49. | :52:56. | |
the most luscious grassland, my family has produced beef or 350 | :52:57. | :53:00. | |
years in a sustainable way. I think we've got to watch out for the | :53:01. | :53:04. | |
smaller family farms. That's what's important. The countryside in Wales, | :53:05. | :53:11. | |
for us to get that balance right, it is a massive operation. We have to | :53:12. | :53:17. | |
work really hard. He is still working very hard right now! Looking | :53:18. | :53:24. | |
great. We will be talking more over the morning about the effects of | :53:25. | :53:27. | |
those subsidies. We have someone from the Welsh government coming on | :53:28. | :53:32. | |
later in the programme. I have already learned the difference | :53:33. | :53:37. | |
between a heifer and a bull, it's been a good morning. I think we are | :53:38. | :53:43. | |
all being educated today. That cow was absolutely massive. Polishing | :53:44. | :53:59. | |
going on, and some have -- some hairspray. | :54:00. | :53:59. | |
It may not be the most obvious contender for the UK's fastest | :54:00. | :54:02. | |
growing leisure activity - but it appears we're being bowled | :54:03. | :54:05. | |
Do you bowl straight? I do. I wish I could swazz it. | :54:06. | :54:16. | |
It may have experienced it's heyday in the 1950s, | :54:17. | :54:19. | |
but the sport is once again booming in Britain. | :54:20. | :54:22. | |
To find out why, Breakfast's Holly Hamilton is at a bowling alley | :54:23. | :54:25. | |
Good morning. I have to say, it is a bit loud in here, all of these | :54:26. | :54:36. | |
strikes going on behind me. The premise of bowling is quite | :54:37. | :54:38. | |
straightforward. Something we probably learned at a fourth | :54:39. | :54:42. | |
birthday party many years ago. Recently there has been something of | :54:43. | :54:47. | |
a grid to the nation. Last year, one third of us went bowling, spending | :54:48. | :54:53. | |
?285 million on this. Next year it is predicted to rise to around ?3 | :54:54. | :54:57. | |
million. Why are we getting excited about bowling again? Let's speak to | :54:58. | :55:05. | |
the owner of this bowling alley. You are doing very well. Why are people | :55:06. | :55:09. | |
getting so excited about bowling again? I think if people are going | :55:10. | :55:16. | |
out drinking for nights out, they like to have some entertainment | :55:17. | :55:20. | |
along the way. Crazy golf, ping-pong, they have made a real | :55:21. | :55:22. | |
surgeons as well. -- resurgence. It is not just for | :55:23. | :55:46. | |
recreational purposes, some people are taking it up professionally as | :55:47. | :55:50. | |
well. Time to speak to Helena from professional tenpin bowling. Why are | :55:51. | :55:59. | |
people doing it again? It doesn't matter who you are, what age, | :56:00. | :56:04. | |
everyone can do it. You make friends, you can do it as a team. We | :56:05. | :56:08. | |
have got bowlers from all levels here today. We've got an | :56:09. | :56:16. | |
eight-year-old who is a great Olah, right up to much older competitors | :56:17. | :56:29. | |
-- bowler. I want to see you in action quickly? I want to see you | :56:30. | :56:35. | |
get a strike, live on air! Let's put the pressure on. Eight years old. A | :56:36. | :56:42. | |
strike live on BBC breakfast. Is he going to do it? Are, so close! I am | :56:43. | :56:51. | |
thinking we need a breakfast bowling team, just come up with a name for | :56:52. | :57:00. | |
me. We are in for that. I think Stef would be interested in it as well. | :57:01. | :57:06. | |
We will have all the headlines at seven o'clock. -- Steph. Time to | :57:07. | :57:09. | |
Rain and lots of travel problems, have a look at the news, travel | :57:10. | :00:33. | |
Rain and lots of travel problems, sorry about that. | :00:34. | :00:34. | |
That's all for now, I'll be back in around half an hour | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
with the latest from the BBC London newsroom. | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
There's plenty more on our website | :00:41. | :00:41. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
Charlie Gard's parents return to the High Court as a judge | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
prepares to decide what will happen to their son. | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
It's the latest stage of their five-month legal fight | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
over his future - they want him to be treated by a specialist | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
Good morning, it's Monday the 24th of July. | :00:59. | :01:09. | |
There are two grandmothers in their lives, and so it's | :01:10. | :01:20. | |
important they know who she was and that she existed. | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
Prince William on keeping the memory of his mother alive | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
through his children as the royal family prepares to mark 20 years | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
It is the drug that turns people into the walking dead. How Spice is | :01:30. | :01:41. | |
still causing havoc on British streets over a year after it was | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
banned. And later we will hear from the mother of a missing airmen as | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
she calls for police to continue searching for her son. As the | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
government says that subsidies should be earned and not merely | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
handed out, I am at one of the biggest agricultural shows in | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
Britain with thousands of Lauer have stopped talking to farmers about | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
what they think about the future of their sector. What a weekend of | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
sport it has been. England are world champions after defeating India by | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
nine runs in the women's World Cup cricket final. Chris Froome won an | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
extraordinary fourth Tour de France and Jordan Speith has won the | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
British open and 23 becomes the youngest open winner for years. | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
Carol is with us today. We have an east-west split in the weather | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
across central and eastern areas this morning. It is cloudy. Splashes | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
of rain as well. In the West, we look at some sunshine. Here will | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
feel warm but quite cool across the North Sea coastline. | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
The parents of Charlie Gard return to the High Court today, | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
with the judge set to consider new evidence from a US neurologist. | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
His parents want to take their terminally ill baby to America | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
for experimental treatment, but doctors at Great Ormond Street | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
Hospital believe it won't work, and the 11-month-old should be | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
Our reporter Tom Burridge is outside the High Court this morning: | :03:11. | :03:18. | |
The parents have been there so many times before. Can you tell us, a | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
judge will need to make this decision. When will they know the | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
result? We expect a decision any time from tomorrow. The judge will | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
consider evidence this afternoon, particularly from the doctor in | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
America who claims his experimental treatment, a type of therapy, would | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
have a 10% chance of improving Charlie's health. Great Ormond | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
Street Hospital say the evidence being considered is new they welcome | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
the fact that this evidence is being considered. Is a side case and you | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
feel sorry for the parents of Charlie as well as the doctors and | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
nurses who have been treating him. Both of those,, as we have learned, | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
have been suffering verbal abuse and online abuse, an extensive amount | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
and Charlie 's parents coming out with a long statement yesterday | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
paying tribute to Great Ormond Street Hospital and the staff and | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
saying that they have been suffering a backlash since great Ormond Street | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
released their statement on Saturday. The evidence will be heard | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
this afternoon and then we expect a decision any time from tomorrow. | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
Thank you very much. We will continue, of course, to look at this | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
cake, case. -- case. The Duke of Cambridge has revealed | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
how he tells his children stories about their grandmother, | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
Diana Princess of Wales. As they approach the 20th | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
anniversary of their mother's death, Princes William and Harry have been | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
giving an insight into how A mother's photograph | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
of her two boys. Made public for the first time, | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
it is an image that sums up the sense of fun Princes William | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
and Harry describe about Diana Nearly 20 years on from her death, | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
Prince William, now a parent himself, talks of reminding his | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
children of the grandmother We've got more photos up | :05:08. | :05:09. | |
round the house now, of her, and we talk | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
about her a bit and stuff. And it's hard, because obviously | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
Catherine didn't know her, so she can't really provide | :05:17. | :05:18. | |
that level of detail. So I do regularly, putting George | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
or Charlotte to bed, talk about her and try to remind | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
them that there are two grandmothers - there were two grandmothers - | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
in their lives. Prince Harry was a boy of just 12 | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
when he lost his mother. In a conversation with one | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
of her friends, Sir Elton John, they reflect on her compassion, | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
particularly her work Everybody in that | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
photograph is smiling. I mean, she had an energy, | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
she had a radiance. In every photograph, there's | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
a positive global, wonderful glow. Also, she had this incredible | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
ability which he kind of inherited - and I told him that, | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
and he said "Thanks very much" - to make people feel at ease and make | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
them feel that everything Much has been said and written | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
about Diana in the years But, for this anniversary, | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
it is her sons who are keen to remind people of her impact | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
on their lives and the world. Scientists say they're examining | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
a potential breakthrough in the case of the missing Sheffield | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
toddler, Ben Needham. The child was last seen | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
near a rundown farm house on the Greek Island | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
of Kos 26 years ago. South Yorkshire Police say | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
they believe Ben died as a result But it's now been revealed soil | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
samples taken during excavations last year, indicate potential signs | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
of human decomposition. We gathered an awful lot | :06:35. | :06:42. | |
of information, an awful lot of intelligence about what may | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
have happened to Ben, coming to the conclusion | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
that we did. Some of the items that we took | :06:48. | :06:49. | |
back we submitted to And the result of that to date, | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
I am led to believe, shows signs that there is still some | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
human decomposition around those items that we did | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
bring back from Kos. Commuters face travel chaos this | :07:02. | :07:14. | |
morning of the South West Trains was forced to cancel services running | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
into the busiest station, London Waterloo. And signalling problem on | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
the line means that services across the network are unable to run. The | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
company said passengers are strongly advised not to travel with delays | :07:29. | :07:30. | |
and cancellations expected throughout the morning. If you are | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
affected, please let us know and get in touch. It is quite a mess for | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
thousands of people this morning. Britain's economic growth | :07:39. | :07:39. | |
forecast has been downgraded by the International Monetary Fund - | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
following a weaker than expected performance at the | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
start of the year. In April, it was predicted | :07:45. | :07:46. | |
the economy would grow by two% but figure has now been | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
revised down to 1.7% The Treasury says the report | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
highlights the importance of a good A survey of people aged over 65 | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
in Britain has found more than 40% of them think they've been | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
targeted by scammers. The charity, Age UK, | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
also found that those living on their own were two and a half | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
times more likely to be picked on. Here's our business | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
correspondent, Joe Lynam. Fraud has always been with us, | :08:09. | :08:16. | |
but technology has enabled fraudsters to use increasingly | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
creative and believable ways In a survey of more than 1,000 | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
over-65s, Age UK found that 43% had been contacted by scammers | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
hoping to defraud them. Of those targeted, 16% of people | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
living alone paid out some money. Two thirds of those contacted | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
by scammers did not report We would encourage people to not | :08:37. | :08:43. | |
worry about being seen There are a lot of scammers | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
who are relying on you and your politeness, to not hang up the phone | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
or delete the e-mail. And really, if it's a call | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
or an e-mail that you're not expecting, that's offering you some | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
sort of enticing-sounding offer, or putting you under | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
pressure to do something, then alarm bells should be | :09:06. | :09:07. | |
going off, and you should just be The most common types of scams | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
were fraudulent e-mails and texts That was followed by vishing, | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
in which fraudsters contact their target directly, | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
purporting to be from their bank The government is promising what it | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
calls a revolution in the way electricity is generated, | :09:23. | :09:31. | |
used and stored. The business secretary, Greg Clark, | :09:32. | :09:32. | |
is to announce more investment in battery technology | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
and details of a competition to boost innovation | :09:36. | :09:37. | |
in energy storage. Under the plans, it's thought | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
households could save up The world's first full-scale | :09:40. | :09:41. | |
floating wind farm has started to take shape off the north-east | :09:42. | :09:50. | |
coast of Scotland. Eventually, five giant turbines | :09:51. | :09:52. | |
will stretch for more than 175 metres and supply | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
power to 20,000 homes. The first turbine was put into place | :09:56. | :09:57. | |
off Peterhead in Aberdeenshire. The remaining four arrive | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
from Norway in the coming weeks. I cannot read that story without | :10:01. | :10:20. | |
thinking of your silent sneeze the last time I read it. People were | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
amazed by the fact you can sneeze violently. It is just years of being | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
here on the sofa. I am amazed because my father has an | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
uncontrollably loud sneeze. I remember in supermarkets... He does | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
about six or seven in a row and it is like some sort of explosion going | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
off. I don't know what it is but it is probably not good for me. | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
The Doctor Who writer, Steven Moffat, has laid to rest one | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
of fans' most fiery debates - what is the Time Lord's name? | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
And it may come as a surprise that he's insisting it's 'Doctor Who' | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
He told this year's Comic-Con in San Diego - | :11:00. | :11:08. | |
the largest event of its kind dedicated to film, TV and pop | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
culture - that there was no doubt about the name. | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
Steven Moffat said it was established in the 1966 episode | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
The War Machines, starring William Hartnell. | :11:18. | :11:18. | |
But he admitted the Doctor doesn't often call himself | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
Doctor Who because - in Moffat's words - | :11:22. | :11:23. | |
I have a feeling that that is not settled. It will rumble on. As fans | :11:24. | :11:34. | |
of the show and no. Carol will have the moment for you in a few minutes | :11:35. | :11:36. | |
time. The mother of the missing airman, | :11:37. | :11:36. | |
Corrie McKeague, has urged Suffolk Police to continue | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
efforts to find her son. On Friday, officers called | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
off their 20-week search of a landfill site near Cambridge - | :11:43. | :11:44. | |
after failing to find evidence Corrie's mother, Nicola Urquhart, | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
is due to meet with police later Thank you so much for coming along | :11:48. | :12:01. | |
this morning. To little bit about this meeting with police. What sort | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
of things will you be talking about? I will be trying to find out in | :12:06. | :12:12. | |
plain language exactly what they have searched but, more importantly, | :12:13. | :12:19. | |
what is still left to be searched. I think, with my comprehension and the | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
public's as well, the police are saying that Corrie is still in the | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
landfill but they are no longer searching. I don't know if it is | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
because the form of words they are using um it has certainly confused | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
me. Is to and get some clarity as to exactly what still needs to be | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
searched. Then, is there some kind of compromise that we can find, or | :12:41. | :12:48. | |
whether it is funding, getting military assistance... Is there any | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
way we can continue just search left of that sell. Not the entire | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
landfill, just the part that was open. Were you surprised on Friday | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
when you were told that this landfill site search was going to | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
end. Were you surprised to be told that? I was not surprised. I had | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
known for two weeks that the search was going to end. I have always | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
known that. Eventually they would come to a stage where they had | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
finished searching. What surprised me was they did not say we have | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
concluded the search, we have not found my son so now we will move on | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
to try and find him somewhere else. It was that they said we have | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
concluded the search but we think he is still in their. I did not expect | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
that result at all. So, I know you will go and have a talk with police | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
today. How forcefully do you think you will be able to make your point? | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
I know there is a petition signed by quite a few thousand people is | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
wilfully surged to continue. I think there is 21,000 people have signed | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
it in the last two dess. This is the community further afield as well but | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
the community of Suffolk and North and they do not understand this | :14:06. | :14:12. | |
decision either. When you say will I be forceful, no. I am his mother, I | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
will do everything I can to try and understand why they are not doing | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
it. I do understand that they have to stop the search at some point. | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
But it does not seem to make sense to say he is still in there but we | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
are no longer searching. So it is just trying to find a compromise. | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
There must be one. I know from a mother 's perspective you are no | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
doubt of the opinion that you would search for your son for ever. You | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
would do it yourself and you would never stop. I wonder what sort of | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
effect this has had on you and the rest of the family. We are doing OK. | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
The past two days have been incredibly difficult. It was | :14:51. | :14:57. | |
unfortunate... Although we knew that the press announcement was coming, | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
because he was a work, he did not have the opportunity to discuss it | :15:03. | :15:07. | |
before it went out live. Say things like that do make it difficult for | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
us. We will get through it. Just as any family would. We are nothing | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
special, no different from anyone else, we will find a way through it. | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
But knowing that we can do that on the back of everything has been | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
exhausted. If you know where our son is, let us find him. Did not just | :15:26. | :15:27. | |
give up and walk away. You are a police officer yourself | :15:28. | :15:43. | |
and you would surely have an idea of how they come to this decision, when | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
the cost has already been in over ?1 million? It has been an extremely | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
cost and I am devastated that so much money has been used on my son, | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
because I know how difficult it is for all forces just now with money. | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
The circumstances surrounding him are exceptional in that they know | :16:02. | :16:12. | |
that they have several positive lines of enquiry. They have done a | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
phenomenal amount of work in searching, I will never be able to | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
thank every individual officer enough, but let's make their search | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
worth something. I know they are desperate to find him, let them | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
finish. Ask for help from the military, I know they have to be | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
officially asked. They could say no, but they could ask. That would not | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
cost the police anything. I just don't understand. I need to be able | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
to talk to the police about this and find out why they have made this | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
decision. And how is his girlfriend, April? She is pregnant with his | :16:54. | :17:02. | |
child? She has had the baby, it was a little girl. She is absolutely | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
adorable. Both mum and baby are doing fantastic. I spent the day | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
with them yesterday. She is gorgeous. An absolute Lessing. Thank | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
you so much for talking to us this morning. I hope that meeting with | :17:19. | :17:21. | |
the police officers today goes as well as you hope it will. | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
You're watching Breakfast from BBC News. | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather. | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
If you are in the west today, it is going to be a pretty nice day. In | :17:36. | :17:42. | |
the east and central, there is some rain. The forecast for the week | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
ahead is changeable. Today and tomorrow, it is going to be warmer. | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
As we head into Wednesday, an area of low pressure is coming our way. | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
Bringing wet and windy weather. The latter part of the week reverts back | :17:57. | :18:03. | |
to sunshine and showers. This weather front is drifting, bringing | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
some rain. High-pressure following that, by giving is much more | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
settled. Cloud associated with that weather from this morning, some | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
splashes of rain and drizzle. Not everywhere, but as we push into | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
Lincolnshire and Yorkshire, there is all this cloud across the Midlands | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
and towards the borders. We also have low cloud across north-east | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
Scotland. Pushing away from that, clearer skies and some sunshine. The | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
east and Northern Ireland, cloud tending to break up. Seeing some | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
sunshine developing. Across Wales, a fine start to the day. Some | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
sunshine. Some sunshine across south-west England, in the sunshine, | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
temperatures climbing readily. Through the day, where there is | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
cloud through central England, that will start to break up. We will see | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
to brighten up with a few sunny spells. A key northerly wind coming | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
down this coastline. Feeling cold, particularly under the cloud and | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
rain. East Anglia, would see some sunshine develop in the afternoon. | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
That will help temperatures rise. In the west, highest temperatures, 24- | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
25 degrees. In western Scotland, we could pick up the odd afternoon | :19:16. | :19:23. | |
shower. Overnight, losing that keen wind. Tending not to be strong, | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
still some cloud with showers tending to fade. Some clear skies. | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
We could see some isolated pockets of all, nothing too drastic. | :19:34. | :19:39. | |
Temperatures could move to low single figures. Starting with some | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
sunshine, especially where we have had clear skies. Might try down the | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
coast compared to today. Windfall in later. A lot of sunshine and sunny | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
spells tomorrow, temperatures responding accordingly. Later in the | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
day, cloud thickening across Cornwall, heralding the arrival of | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
this low pressure. Really quite swiftly from west to east. You can | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
see it is also going to be a blustery day. That will help blow | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
this wind across from the west to east. We will see some of it, but | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
not for a terribly long amount of time. Then, getting brighter with | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
some showers behind it. Changeable sums up the weather for this week | :20:23. | :20:24. | |
pretty nicely. Earlier this year, we told | :20:25. | :20:31. | |
you about the shocking effects It's a former legal high, | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
which leaves users in BBC Breakfast has been told that, | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
despite being banned more than a year ago, even more virulent | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
versions of the drug are now And it's becoming a particular | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
problem amongst the homeless Breakfast's Jayne McCubbin has spent | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
time with the emergency services and those on the front line | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
in Newcastle as they try to tackle Volunteers are checking | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
on rough sleepers. Traditional drugs they know how | :20:58. | :21:17. | |
to deal with, but is the constantly changing nature of new, | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
psychoactive substances We find the effects of it | :21:24. | :21:25. | |
can be really extreme. I'm actually trying | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
hard to come off it. The images of so-called spice | :21:32. | :21:44. | |
zombies caught the headlines, But while the headlines have faded, | :21:45. | :21:58. | |
the problem hasn't. These outreach workers are among 250 | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
people who have been given When Darren and his colleague | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
found a rough sleeper, unresponsive, lips blue, | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
they knew exactly what to do. He was on the phone to emergency | :22:09. | :22:11. | |
services, I was busy giving chest compressions | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
until the ambulance service arrived. That was one life saved, | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
but latest official figures show that while NPS deaths | :22:18. | :22:29. | |
are rare, they are increasing by just over a quarter | :22:30. | :22:37. | |
in one year to 114 deaths. Paramedics who help | :22:38. | :22:44. | |
train people like Darren We are starting | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
to see a spike again. An increase of different | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
and new drugs There is a new drug | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
called super spice. At Newcastle A, they tell me | :22:55. | :23:07. | |
the ban has led to a change, but only in the kind | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
of user being admitted, I am not convinced that | :23:12. | :23:13. | |
the pressures have changed much. We would expect to see | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
a number of people everyday. Some may be unresponsive, | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
some aggressive. They are trying to | :23:21. | :23:21. | |
find that out in this lab at Manchester | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
Metropolitan University. They have a unique way | :23:28. | :23:29. | |
of working with police, samples were analysed within 24 | :23:30. | :23:31. | |
hours instead of four weeks. Toxicity results are immediately fed | :23:32. | :23:38. | |
back to users and the emergency This sample was linked | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
to a significant rise in hospitalisations a few months | :23:42. | :23:49. | |
ago, about 53 people How old were you when | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
you first started? If the ban had been | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
in place from the start, Rhys might never have | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
started taking drugs. Today, he's kicked the habit, | :24:05. | :24:06. | |
but he says young people are finding new ways of buying | :24:07. | :24:13. | |
on the street and online. Is there any evidence | :24:14. | :24:15. | |
that the problem is going No, if anything it is | :24:16. | :24:18. | |
getting a lot worse. Through the streets of Newcastle, | :24:19. | :24:21. | |
kids are starting to get on with it. It is not being bored | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
by the government. NPS is mentioned in its drug | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
strategy for the first But with no additional funds | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
to tackle it, some say this is a problem which | :24:34. | :24:42. | |
won't easily be fixed. The Home Office told Breakfast | :24:43. | :24:44. | |
that the Government's strategy is supporting | :24:45. | :24:52. | |
people through treatment, while also tackling | :24:53. | :24:54. | |
the supply of illegal drugs. The front page of the Telegraph, on | :24:55. | :25:03. | |
pretty much all of the papers, actually, the English women's | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
cricket team. They won the World Cup yesterday, absolutely fantastic. We | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
hope to speak to them tomorrow. I was going to show you a really old | :25:16. | :25:22. | |
cat again. Chris Froome winning again, as well. One story each. What | :25:23. | :25:33. | |
have you good? -- got? It is really about swimming lessons and the fact | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
that, lots of people are on some holidays. 300 people drowned last | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
year on summer holidays. The worst period for tired death. They talk | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
about data which shows that lots of children are not going to swimming | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
lessons, they have got real concerns about it. We might address that on | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
BBC breakfast. Would you like to see possibly the world's oldest cat? | :25:57. | :26:07. | |
Apsley, what's are named? -- absolutely, what's her name? Her | :26:08. | :26:21. | |
name is Sasha. She has reached the grand old age of 31, the oldest cat | :26:22. | :26:28. | |
ever to live was 38. That is extraordinary. May be one of your | :26:29. | :26:35. | |
cats... You could have a cat that is older than that! Our cats died at | :26:36. | :26:41. | |
age 11. I am very sorry. with the latest from | :26:42. | :26:44. | |
the BBC London newsroom. Hello, this is Breakfast | :26:45. | :30:06. | |
with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. Thank you for being with us on this | :30:07. | :30:22. | |
Monday morning. Let's bring you up today with the headlines. | :30:23. | :30:23. | |
The parents of Charlie Gard return to the High Court today, | :30:24. | :30:26. | |
with the judge set to consider new evidence from a US neurologist. | :30:27. | :30:29. | |
His parents want to take their terminally ill baby to America | :30:30. | :30:33. | |
for experimental treatment, but doctors at Great Ormond Street | :30:34. | :30:35. | |
Hospital believe it won't work, and say the 11-month-old should be | :30:36. | :30:38. | |
The mother of a missing air man has urged Suffolk Police to continue | :30:39. | :30:53. | |
efforts to find her son. A search was called off after no evidence was | :30:54. | :30:57. | |
found to his disappearance. They have done a phenomenal amount of | :30:58. | :31:04. | |
work in searching the landfill. All the individual officers, I can never | :31:05. | :31:09. | |
thank them enough. But let us make the last 20 weeks they have searched | :31:10. | :31:14. | |
worth something. I know they are desperate to find my son, let them | :31:15. | :31:20. | |
finish. Ask for help, they have never been asked, the military. I | :31:21. | :31:23. | |
know they need ministerial approval and I know they could say no. Will | :31:24. | :31:27. | |
ask police anything. The Duke of Cambridge has revealed | :31:28. | :31:29. | |
how he tells his children stories about their grandmother, | :31:30. | :31:33. | |
Diana Princess of Wales. As they approach the 20th | :31:34. | :31:34. | |
anniversary of their mother's death, Princes William and Harry have been | :31:35. | :31:37. | |
giving an insight into how It's part of a new documentary | :31:38. | :31:40. | |
that airs tonight. We have more photos around the house | :31:41. | :31:54. | |
now. We talk about her. It is difficult because Catherine did not | :31:55. | :31:57. | |
know her so she could not provide the level of detail. I regularly | :31:58. | :32:02. | |
talk about her when I put the children to bed. Remind them that | :32:03. | :32:03. | |
there are two grandmothers. At least 24 people have been killed | :32:04. | :32:10. | |
and more than 40 injured in a suicide bomb attack | :32:11. | :32:13. | |
in the Afghan capital, It's understood the attacker | :32:14. | :32:16. | |
detonated the car bomb close to a bus carrying government | :32:17. | :32:18. | |
employees in the west of the city. It's not yet clear who | :32:19. | :32:27. | |
was behind the attack. Scientists say they're examining | :32:28. | :32:29. | |
a potential breakthrough in the case of the missing Sheffield | :32:30. | :32:32. | |
toddler, Ben Needham. The young boy was last seen | :32:33. | :32:34. | |
near a rundown farm house on the Greek Island | :32:35. | :32:37. | |
of Kos 26 years ago. South Yorkshire Police say | :32:38. | :32:39. | |
they believe Ben died as a result But it's now been revealed soil | :32:40. | :32:42. | |
samples taken during excavations last year, indicate potential signs | :32:43. | :32:46. | |
of human decomposition. We gathered an awful lot | :32:47. | :32:48. | |
of information, an awful lot of intelligence about what may | :32:49. | :32:51. | |
have happened to Ben, coming to the conclusion | :32:52. | :32:53. | |
that we did. Some of the items that we took | :32:54. | :32:55. | |
back we submitted to And the result of that to date, | :32:56. | :32:58. | |
I am led to believe, shows signs that there is still some | :32:59. | :33:04. | |
human decomposition around those items that we did | :33:05. | :33:07. | |
bring back from Kos. Commuters face travel chaos this | :33:08. | :33:12. | |
morning after South West Trains was forced to cancel services | :33:13. | :33:15. | |
running into the UK's busiest A signalling problem | :33:16. | :33:19. | |
on the Woking line means services across the network | :33:20. | :33:39. | |
are unable to run. The company said passengers | :33:40. | :33:41. | |
are "strongly advised" not to travel with delays and cancellations | :33:42. | :33:43. | |
expected throughout the morning. are involved in that. It must be | :33:44. | :33:46. | |
pretty miserable. The Doctor Who writer has laid | :33:47. | :33:49. | |
to rest one of fans' most fiery debates - what is | :33:50. | :33:53. | |
the Time Lord's name? It comes as a first glimpse | :33:54. | :33:55. | |
of Peter Capaldi's final outing in this year's Christmas | :33:56. | :34:00. | |
special has been released. Writer Steven Moffat insists | :34:01. | :34:02. | |
the real name is "Doctor Who" - and not "the Doctor" - | :34:03. | :34:05. | |
as many argue. He said it was established | :34:06. | :34:10. | |
in the 1966 episode 'The War Machines', | :34:11. | :34:12. | |
starring William Hartnell. But he admitted the Doctor doesn't | :34:13. | :34:16. | |
often call himself "Doctor Who" because - in Moffat's words - | :34:17. | :34:19. | |
it's a "stupid name". And people go Doctor who? It just | :34:20. | :34:34. | |
does not work as a EE name. It is like bad joke about who is the most | :34:35. | :34:40. | |
famous doctor on television? Coming up on the programme, | :34:41. | :34:41. | |
Carol will have an update of this Let's handover to Sally now for the | :34:42. | :34:54. | |
weekend sport. How can you start after that weekend of spore? There | :34:55. | :34:57. | |
is an interesting theme to this weekend sport. Holding your nerve, | :34:58. | :35:02. | |
the women's cricketers held their nerve to become World Cup champions | :35:03. | :35:06. | |
as did Jordan Speith, Chris Froome did. That tour was not a tour that | :35:07. | :35:13. | |
suited him this time but he still won. An incredible weekend of sport. | :35:14. | :35:18. | |
England's women are Cricket World Champions - | :35:19. | :35:20. | |
beating India by nine runs in the final at Lord's | :35:21. | :35:22. | |
Natalie Sciver top scored for England as they set a target | :35:23. | :35:25. | |
The great thing about this yesterday is that the group stages were | :35:26. | :35:37. | |
watched by around 50 million people around the world. That can only be a | :35:38. | :35:43. | |
good thing for Cricket in general, for women's cricket in particular. | :35:44. | :35:49. | |
Someone tweeted yesterday saying that at last their daughters wanted | :35:50. | :35:51. | |
to play cricket. I always think it's better | :35:52. | :35:52. | |
winning when you're all out there in the field, because you've | :35:53. | :35:56. | |
got your team-mates around you. And this World Cup really | :35:57. | :35:59. | |
has been a team effort. People have chipped | :36:00. | :36:01. | |
in along the way. We have fought our way through some | :36:02. | :36:03. | |
games, haven't necessarily won But tournament cricket | :36:04. | :36:06. | |
is all about winning. It's not necessarily about how | :36:07. | :36:09. | |
you win, it's just getting Before the match Anya | :36:10. | :36:12. | |
Shrubsole's dad tweeted this. This is Anya back in 2001, | :36:13. | :36:15. | |
visiting Lord's and his tweet says I'd like to play here | :36:16. | :36:18. | |
....for England ... Well, 16 years later, | :36:19. | :36:22. | |
Anya did just that!! That is an amazing picture. And, | :36:23. | :36:37. | |
like you said, it is great that he managed to keep it and not lose it | :36:38. | :36:41. | |
anywhere in the back of the cupboard quite a far proud father. -- quite a | :36:42. | :36:45. | |
proud father. Chris Froome has sealed his fourth | :36:46. | :36:47. | |
Tour de France title to put him He came through the largely | :36:48. | :36:51. | |
processional final stage through Paris unscathed, | :36:52. | :36:55. | |
and managed to enjoy a glass You can only imagine that after all | :36:56. | :37:07. | |
of those miles on the bike, that champagne probably went straight to | :37:08. | :37:10. | |
his head. Many players dropped out due to injury but here we have the | :37:11. | :37:12. | |
winner, Chris Froome. Incredible feeling, to ride | :37:13. | :37:13. | |
onto the Champs-Elysees. Even after having done it | :37:14. | :37:15. | |
three times previously, It's still - all the same | :37:16. | :37:17. | |
emotions are here. It's just incredible, | :37:18. | :37:21. | |
absolutely incredible. Jordan Speith did not make it easy | :37:22. | :37:39. | |
at the weekend. Mentioning earlier about the Americans calling at | :37:40. | :37:43. | |
intestinal fortitude. When you are in deep to do, you begin the final | :37:44. | :37:51. | |
round, you are ahead and everybody says you played well. And then | :37:52. | :37:58. | |
here's four over after 12 holes. He hooks one miles to the ride on the | :37:59. | :38:02. | |
13th and gets into all sorts of bother. He loses the lead and then | :38:03. | :38:07. | |
somehow he is five under for the next four holes. It only went about | :38:08. | :38:13. | |
20 minutes. He hits his tee shot on the 13th, 120 yards right into the | :38:14. | :38:18. | |
deep grass. It is an playable. Most golfers at this point would just get | :38:19. | :38:24. | |
on with it and he takes his time. He takes 20 minutes. He declares this | :38:25. | :38:30. | |
liar as an playable. He could return to the tee but he takes a drop into | :38:31. | :38:34. | |
the practice ground and then he says to his caddie we need to make it | :38:35. | :38:39. | |
five. Does need a bogey. He get a bogey, he moves on and then it is | :38:40. | :38:44. | |
Berdych, Eagle, Berdych, Berdych, part and he wins the tournament. And | :38:45. | :38:50. | |
here he is. I look back on '15, | :38:51. | :38:53. | |
and thought yeah, I enjoyed it. But I never realised | :38:54. | :38:57. | |
the significance until you kind of hit a low, hit a pitfall, | :38:58. | :39:00. | |
to appreciate the highs so much. And this is as much of a high | :39:01. | :39:03. | |
as I have ever experienced in my golfing life, and I am | :39:04. | :39:07. | |
going to enjoy it more than I have enjoyed anything I've | :39:08. | :39:11. | |
accomplished in the past. Can I just remind everybody that he | :39:12. | :39:24. | |
is only 23. Only 23. Talk about composure. Later in the programme we | :39:25. | :39:29. | |
will bring you the latest from the para athletics, swimming and the | :39:30. | :39:30. | |
women's football as well. And we will be talking to the person | :39:31. | :39:31. | |
chosen as team captain for the British team | :39:32. | :39:35. | |
for World Athletics Championships. And tomorrow, we don't know who do | :39:36. | :39:45. | |
we will have two cricketers with us. After they have recovered. 739. | :39:46. | :39:49. | |
With uncertainty over post-Brexit subsidies, | :39:50. | :39:50. | |
there are fears the Welsh farming industry in particular could suffer | :39:51. | :39:53. | |
We've sent Sean to the Royal Welsh Show which is the biggest event | :39:54. | :39:58. | |
in the British agricultural calendar. | :39:59. | :40:05. | |
If you were watching earlier, there are cowl Hoovers, polished hooves | :40:06. | :40:12. | |
and learning the difference between a heifer and a bull. Good morning. I | :40:13. | :40:15. | |
think everybody he knows the difference. There are plenty of | :40:16. | :40:19. | |
heifers and plenty of balls behind me all being given a polished. They | :40:20. | :40:26. | |
are all up for prizes later today. 7000 head of livestock here and | :40:27. | :40:30. | |
these guys will be up for it. A big day for farmers showing off what | :40:31. | :40:34. | |
they can do but the topic of conversation particularly here in | :40:35. | :40:38. | |
has been subsidies. ?220 million that farmers get from EU subsidies | :40:39. | :40:42. | |
but what will happen when we leave the union? Leslie, let's start with | :40:43. | :40:47. | |
you. You work for the Welsh government. When you heard Michael | :40:48. | :40:51. | |
Gove say on Friday that farmers need to earn their subsidies and Tom are | :40:52. | :40:55. | |
not just for them to be given out, what did you think? I think our | :40:56. | :40:59. | |
farmers already recognised that. I do not want to be paying of | :41:00. | :41:03. | |
agriculture bad for the environment. We want a deal good for both. It is | :41:04. | :41:07. | |
important that we have these discussions. Abbey, you are dairy | :41:08. | :41:13. | |
farmer. How high up your list of priorities for Raid post Brexit | :41:14. | :41:21. | |
world are subsidies? Subsidies is as important as trade. It is important | :41:22. | :41:29. | |
we can export our goods between us and the rest of the UK, the EU and | :41:30. | :41:33. | |
the rest of the world. That is more important than a subsidy. So, | :41:34. | :41:37. | |
talking about subsidies, is that just an easy thing for the ministers | :41:38. | :41:40. | |
to talk about when really what you want to see if trade is to mark yes, | :41:41. | :41:46. | |
when you speak to farmers over Wales, we have had great stakeholder | :41:47. | :41:52. | |
engagement and the right deal is very important. Is there a case, | :41:53. | :41:57. | |
because agriculture is one of the things our policy wise has devolved. | :41:58. | :42:01. | |
Welsh government are in charge of agriculture in Wales. Is an argument | :42:02. | :42:06. | |
to say that post Brexit maybe the UK government should be running | :42:07. | :42:10. | |
agricultural policy for all the nations, for a period of time? | :42:11. | :42:15. | |
Absolutely not. Those powers belong to the people of Wales. I am | :42:16. | :42:21. | |
accountable to them. Agriculture, forestry, and foreign men, have been | :42:22. | :42:25. | |
devolved for 20 years. So you could end up with a different Welsh | :42:26. | :42:28. | |
policy, different to that of Ireland, Scotland all England. Would | :42:29. | :42:33. | |
that make even more uncertainty than may be needed? Certainly the | :42:34. | :42:42. | |
discussions we have had, I don't think we will end up with widely | :42:43. | :42:45. | |
different agricultural policy but it is right that that policy is made | :42:46. | :42:49. | |
here in Wales and we can show that we meet the specific needs of our | :42:50. | :42:55. | |
Welsh farmers. Abbey, as you say, devolved agricultural policy has | :42:56. | :42:58. | |
been going on for a long time and people are used to it. You see a | :42:59. | :43:03. | |
case at all for it being a little bit more joined up than it is right | :43:04. | :43:07. | |
now in times of who was running the show? We are looking for common | :43:08. | :43:10. | |
overall framework. When you look at things like animal disease, plant | :43:11. | :43:13. | |
disease, protecting those things. We need a common goal because we are an | :43:14. | :43:17. | |
island and we are all together. Within that we are looking for | :43:18. | :43:20. | |
flexibility where we will have things specific to Wales. Here now | :43:21. | :43:24. | |
we have seen the iconic landscape and we need to reflect that in our | :43:25. | :43:28. | |
produce. Thank you very much to both of you. Quite a lot going on today. | :43:29. | :43:33. | |
Michael Gove here later today and I am sure he will get some interesting | :43:34. | :43:39. | |
questions. All of these guys are here for judging later. And this man | :43:40. | :43:44. | |
here, he told me what the difference between a heifer and a bull was. | :43:45. | :43:48. | |
What was the difference? You know the answer, Louise. They are just | :43:49. | :43:56. | |
going to laugh it off. When a heifer gives birth to a calf it becomes a | :43:57. | :44:02. | |
cow. And a bull is a... Is used for reproduction. A little sneak peek at | :44:03. | :44:11. | |
a picture that Carol will show us. You have been looking at the Lake | :44:12. | :44:18. | |
Bartz... Here is Carol with either a pond or a lake. Your choice in the | :44:19. | :44:22. | |
background. Good morning to you both. A beautiful picture from | :44:23. | :44:27. | |
greater Manchester. Is not alive shot, that having said that, west is | :44:28. | :44:31. | |
best today in terms of whether. This is where we will see the most | :44:32. | :44:34. | |
sunshine and high temperatures. East today will be cloudy with some | :44:35. | :44:38. | |
splashes of rain. In fact, as we go through this week, the weather is | :44:39. | :44:41. | |
changeable. As we go through today and tomorrow it will be warmer, | :44:42. | :44:45. | |
especially in the west but tomorrow we will see some rain moved quickly | :44:46. | :44:49. | |
from west to east and then we returned to sunshine and showers for | :44:50. | :44:53. | |
the rest of the week. West is best because we have a rigid high | :44:54. | :44:57. | |
pressure across a. This move steadily eastwards through the day, | :44:58. | :45:00. | |
taking its cloud and rain with it. This morning you can see we have got | :45:01. | :45:04. | |
all this cloud across central and eastern parts of England. In | :45:05. | :45:07. | |
particular, low cloud across north-east Scotland and the east of | :45:08. | :45:11. | |
Northern Ireland. In the east that will burn away in the sunshine and | :45:12. | :45:15. | |
then western areas generally hanging onto that sunshine. Through the | :45:16. | :45:19. | |
Midlands, although we will season by break-up and it will brighten up, | :45:20. | :45:23. | |
there are still quite a bit of cloud. It is the same as we travel | :45:24. | :45:26. | |
east into Kent, Essex and across East Anglia. East Anglia could see | :45:27. | :45:30. | |
Sony breaks. There is the rain, nothing right heavy tick here is the | :45:31. | :45:34. | |
cloud. As we get into Scotland there will be a lot of dry weather around | :45:35. | :45:38. | |
today. There is a chance of an isolated shower in the west but that | :45:39. | :45:42. | |
is it. A dry sunny weather across Northern Ireland, hides up to 22, | :45:43. | :45:46. | |
23, possibly 24 degrees. For Wales, a similar story in that there will | :45:47. | :45:50. | |
be a fair bit of sunshine. Temperature responding accordingly. | :45:51. | :45:53. | |
South-west England could be heading down to the beach today. Cooler on | :45:54. | :45:58. | |
the coast but inland still pleasant. Through receiving an overnight you | :45:59. | :46:02. | |
can see how we start to lose some of the shower was. The cold wind comes | :46:03. | :46:06. | |
down and also by date and slackens a bit. There will be a lot of dry | :46:07. | :46:10. | |
weather around under clear skies. We could see the odd pocket of fog, | :46:11. | :46:15. | |
nothing too drastic. In the Glens of Scotland the temperature could down | :46:16. | :46:21. | |
to single figures. So if you are in Balmoral it will be a chilly night. | :46:22. | :46:25. | |
As we head on through the course of tomorrow, while still slack off when | :46:26. | :46:31. | |
done in north coastline, still a lot of sunshine. Not as cold as today, | :46:32. | :46:36. | |
much drier, as editor sunshine across the country with your here | :46:37. | :46:40. | |
and there. By the end of the day, the cloud will thicken up across | :46:41. | :46:43. | |
south-west England and you can see some rain already crossed the Isles | :46:44. | :46:47. | |
of Scilly. This is because we have an area of low pressure coming our | :46:48. | :46:50. | |
way and if you look at the squeeze on the isobars, it tells us that it | :46:51. | :46:54. | |
will be quite windy day. For Wednesday, we start off on a dry | :46:55. | :46:58. | |
note in the east, it will not last long because the rain will move | :46:59. | :47:03. | |
quickly from west to east through the course of the day. Behind it it | :47:04. | :47:08. | |
will brighten up with a few showers the rain there and temperatures up | :47:09. | :47:09. | |
to the dizzy heights of 21 Celsius. Pregnant women who are eating | :47:10. | :47:24. | |
for two risk harming both themselves and their unborn baby, | :47:25. | :47:26. | |
according to experts. New research suggests two thirds | :47:27. | :47:29. | |
of mothers-to-be have no idea how many extra calories they should | :47:30. | :47:32. | |
consume, and many felt under pressure to eat more when in | :47:33. | :47:34. | |
the company of others. When it comes to food and pregnancy, | :47:35. | :47:53. | |
how much is too much? A new study has found that it might be difficult | :47:54. | :47:59. | |
to swallow. 69% of pregnant women did not know how many calories they | :48:00. | :48:04. | |
should be eating, and two out of three said they felt under pressure | :48:05. | :48:09. | |
to eat more. The Royal College of obstetricians and gynaecologists say | :48:10. | :48:14. | |
overweight mothers are risking their own and their babies' health. In the | :48:15. | :48:22. | |
last three lots of pregnancy, only an extra 200 calories are required. | :48:23. | :48:26. | |
That is the equivalent of a handful of nuts and dried fruit, or two | :48:27. | :48:31. | |
slices of wholegrain toast with olive oil spread. It may be bad news | :48:32. | :48:37. | |
for the 26% of women who said they use the excuse of, I am eating for | :48:38. | :48:44. | |
two, when talking about snacks and meals. | :48:45. | :48:50. | |
Joining us now is mum-to-be, Julia Atherton and Dr Manjeet | :48:51. | :48:53. | |
Shehmar from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. | :48:54. | :48:55. | |
Good morning to you both. You are clearly going to be having a baby at | :48:56. | :49:05. | |
some point. Tell us about your approach. Do you eat extra when you | :49:06. | :49:10. | |
are pregnant? In the first trimester, when you've got morning | :49:11. | :49:13. | |
sickness and everything, I think I did eat a bit more, because it helps | :49:14. | :49:19. | |
to stop the sickness and things I would try to eat what I would | :49:20. | :49:23. | |
normally eat, I am quite healthy, I cook gourmet meals at home. I have | :49:24. | :49:28. | |
tried to stay at that level and not have more, try and keep a level | :49:29. | :49:34. | |
playing field. But the first trimester was hard, more carbs in my | :49:35. | :49:38. | |
diet than normal. What about friends and family? That encouragement, have | :49:39. | :49:44. | |
another sandwich, have one of these, make sure you are preparing for your | :49:45. | :49:54. | |
baby. Yes, oh, have a cake, treat yourself, you are allowed now. There | :49:55. | :49:57. | |
is definitely an encouragement generally, an encouragement that it | :49:58. | :50:04. | |
is for the baby rather than for you. What should women be doing? In | :50:05. | :50:11. | |
pregnancy, until about the last three months, women should eat | :50:12. | :50:14. | |
sensibly and normally, have a healthy and balanced diet. In the | :50:15. | :50:20. | |
last three months when you need more energy and calories, but only by | :50:21. | :50:25. | |
about 200 calories. It is a lot less than people realise. It is just | :50:26. | :50:31. | |
about one biscuit or a couple of pieces of toast? Yes, a couple of | :50:32. | :50:35. | |
pieces of toast with low-fat spread. Do you think there needs to be a | :50:36. | :50:40. | |
change in the way people think about it, and what sort of calories people | :50:41. | :50:44. | |
should be eating? Absolutely. I think the important thing to | :50:45. | :50:49. | |
remember is that any way to put on during your pregnancy puts extra | :50:50. | :50:52. | |
strain on the pregnancy, it increases the risk of health | :50:53. | :50:59. | |
disorders, during the pregnancy and after a. Do you think there is | :51:00. | :51:03. | |
conflicting advice for mothers? Talking to friends who are pregnant | :51:04. | :51:09. | |
at the same time? Yes, I have definitely seen before that it is | :51:10. | :51:15. | |
300 calories, which is obviously incorrect or outdated advice. Other | :51:16. | :51:19. | |
people say you can have whatever you want, you can eat as much as you | :51:20. | :51:23. | |
like and it doesn't matter, which doesn't seem and clearly is not good | :51:24. | :51:28. | |
advice to take. What sort of advice do you give to women who you see and | :51:29. | :51:37. | |
have concerns about? We have a dedicated antenatal clinic for women | :51:38. | :51:40. | |
who have put weight on in pregnancy. Part of that advice is to refer them | :51:41. | :51:45. | |
to dieticians. Pregnancy is a perfect opportunity to take healthy | :51:46. | :51:50. | |
lifestyle choices, people are really motivated not only to lose weight | :51:51. | :51:56. | |
but for other healthy options. We do give advice in terms of what the | :51:57. | :52:01. | |
potential consequences are if women do put weight on, or if they don't | :52:02. | :52:06. | |
lose weight during pregnancy, that includes diabetes, high blood | :52:07. | :52:13. | |
pressure, there is an increased risk of pre-eclampsia and cesarean | :52:14. | :52:20. | |
sections. It is a really good time to be motivated to make sure that | :52:21. | :52:24. | |
your weight stays down. And what about the health of the baby? Could | :52:25. | :52:30. | |
that have an impact? You could get larger babies, especially if there | :52:31. | :52:33. | |
is diabetes in pregnancy. You have to remember that the child might | :52:34. | :52:37. | |
have different eating habits as well. It increases obesity rates in | :52:38. | :52:45. | |
children as well. Are you prescriptive about how much weight | :52:46. | :52:53. | |
is good? We don't give guidelines in terms of target weight and that kind | :52:54. | :52:56. | |
of thing. But we do give general advice about making sure that women | :52:57. | :53:00. | |
don't put on too much weight. Physiologically, you would put on | :53:01. | :53:05. | |
weight anyway. We would not want women to go to the other extreme and | :53:06. | :53:09. | |
stop worrying about their weight gain. They just need to be sensible | :53:10. | :53:13. | |
and healthy in pregnancy, as they would outside. As a mother, if URI | :53:14. | :53:25. | |
Read about... -- if you are worried about... You need some practical | :53:26. | :53:32. | |
advice. It is all heavy enough as it is! The strain on the body would be | :53:33. | :53:39. | |
even more from all the extra weight and not eating healthily, that puts | :53:40. | :53:42. | |
a strain on you. I would imagine that would be quite tough. It is not | :53:43. | :53:49. | |
the easiest thing in the world. I know I don't sound thataway, just to | :53:50. | :53:58. | |
clarify that. I am not in your position in any way, shape or form. | :53:59. | :54:02. | |
Thank you very much for coming to see us. Hopefully that has helped | :54:03. | :54:08. | |
you as well. Please send us any questions you might have, you can | :54:09. | :54:13. | |
find us on Facebook or on our website. | :54:14. | :54:15. | |
It may not be the most obvious contender for the UK's fastest | :54:16. | :54:18. | |
growing leisure activity, but it appears we're in love | :54:19. | :54:20. | |
It may have experienced it's heyday in the 1950s, | :54:21. | :54:24. | |
but the sport is once again booming in Britain. | :54:25. | :54:26. | |
To find out why, Breakfast's Holly Hamilton is at a bowling alley | :54:27. | :54:29. | |
Good morning, I have got the shoes, which is about all I've got to make | :54:30. | :54:46. | |
me a professional bowler this morning. A lot of people have been | :54:47. | :54:50. | |
taking up the sport in the last year. A third of us have been going | :54:51. | :54:56. | |
at least once or twice. ?285 million of spending in the last year, that | :54:57. | :55:03. | |
is amazing. Why are we getting bowled over by bowling again? Ben is | :55:04. | :55:11. | |
incredible, eight years old. He has played amazingly this morning. Time | :55:12. | :55:16. | |
to speak to your development coach. How Yong do you have to be to get | :55:17. | :55:28. | |
into it? -- young? You can come in at any age. How do you feel about | :55:29. | :55:35. | |
young Ben? He is sensational. He has been amazing. A big change for him, | :55:36. | :55:44. | |
he has been practising so much. It is not just for recreation, the | :55:45. | :55:48. | |
professionals are doing quite well as well. Time to speak to our | :55:49. | :55:54. | |
representative from the British Bowling Association. We are | :55:55. | :55:57. | |
competing at the world games, how are we doing? We have got two girls | :55:58. | :56:04. | |
out there at the moment, one is from the Manchester area. She might have | :56:05. | :56:10. | |
even been here. We are seeing some amazing women and competitors in the | :56:11. | :56:15. | |
games, it is great to see the athletes across the disciplines. | :56:16. | :56:19. | |
They are playing against the best in the world. You have to qualify as a | :56:20. | :56:23. | |
country to go there, so it is a really big deal to get into the | :56:24. | :56:27. | |
world games. We have done pretty well. I think Rebecca finished about | :56:28. | :56:35. | |
20th in the singles, a big deal. They are doing really well. We have | :56:36. | :56:40. | |
got some other bowlers who are really making their mark at the | :56:41. | :56:45. | |
moment. Dominic Barrett is one of the best bowlers in the country and | :56:46. | :56:53. | |
he finished well in an event in Munich yesterday. We have also got a | :56:54. | :57:02. | |
bowler from Dorset who is doing really well. Some great athletes. We | :57:03. | :57:07. | |
could talk about the talent all day, but unfortunately we don't have the | :57:08. | :57:11. | |
time. You have given me some tips, I am going to have a go. I can't pick | :57:12. | :57:20. | |
it up by myself at the moment, I could injure myself. To the right. | :57:21. | :57:26. | |
The second arrow from the right. OK, let's's go. Oh, straight into the | :57:27. | :57:34. | |
gutter. We did get that right earlier on. | :57:35. | :57:36. | |
with the latest from the BBC London newsroom. | :57:37. | :00:56. | |
Hello this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. | :00:57. | :01:05. | |
Charlie Gard's parents return to the High Court as a judge | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
prepares to decide what will happen to their son. | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
It's the latest stage of their 5 month legal fight over his future - | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
they want him to be treated by a specialist in the US. | :01:15. | :01:27. | |
There are two grandmothers, there were two grand mothers in their | :01:28. | :01:43. | |
lives so it's important they know who she was. | :01:44. | :01:44. | |
Prince William on keeping the memory of his mother alive | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
through his children - as the Royal family prepares to mark | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
It's the drug that turns people into the "walking dead". | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
How Spice is still causing havoc on Britain's streets more | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
He's battled bulimia for more than 20 years. We hear from Nigel Owens | :01:59. | :02:13. | |
as it's revealed more men seek help for eating disorders. Good morning. | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
The Government says farm subsidies should be earned, not just given | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
out. This morning at the ago cultural show in Powys, we are | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
prepping the livestock and finding out what farmers think about the | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
future of their industry. What a weekend of sport, England are world | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
champions after beating India by nine runs in the women's Cricket | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
World Cup final at Lord's. Chris Froome wins an extraordinary fourth | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
Tour de France and Jordan Spieth has won Open Championship at Royal | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
Birkdale, his third major Championship and at 23, he's the | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
youngest Open winner since Seve Ballesteros. | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
If you are after sunshine today, west is best. Sunny, warm and mostly | :02:58. | :03:07. | |
dry. If you are in central and eastern areas, more cloud around, | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
splashes of rain and with an on shore wind down the North Sea | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
coastline, here it will feel cool. More in 15 minutes. | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
The parents of Charlie Gard return to the High Court today, | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
with the judge set to consider new evidence from a US neurologist. | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
His parents want to take their terminally ill baby to America | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
for experimental treatment, but doctors at Great Ormond Street | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
Hospital believe it won't work, and the 11-month-old should be | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
Our reporter Tom Burridge is outside the High Court this morning. | :03:37. | :03:44. | |
Good morning, Tom. Another day of debate, of looking at the evidence | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
and we expect some sort of decision tomorrow, is that right? Well, Dan, | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
I think the decision can come from the judge any time from tomorrow. | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
Remember, the decision is whether or not Charlie's parents, Connie and | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
Chris, should be allowed to take young Charlie to New York for | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
experimental treatment, a type of therapy, or whether the judge | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
decides, as doctors at Great Ormond Street Hospital have argued, that | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
the chances of success are so small that actually it's in his best | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
interests for him to die with dignity. Now he suffers from a very | :04:21. | :04:29. | |
rare genetic disease, mitochondrial depletion syndrome, irreversible | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
severe brain damage. Over the weekend we have been learning from | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
Great Ormond Street Hospital on Saturday how doctors and nurses have | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
been suffering or been at the receiving end of verbal abuse and | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
abuse online. Charlie's parents saying they've suffered a backlash. | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
The evidence will be heard this afternoon and the judge will have to | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
make that very, very difficult decision. | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
The mother of the missing airman, Corrie McKeague, has urged | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
Suffolk Police to continue efforts to find her son. | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
On Friday, officers called off their 20-week search | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
of a landfill site near Cambridge - after no evidence was found relating | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
They've done a phenomenal amount of work in searching the landfill so | :05:09. | :05:20. | |
far. All the individual officers I will never be able to thank them | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
enough. But let's make the last 20 weeks that they have searched worth | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
something. I know they're desperate to find Corrie but let them finish. | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
Ask for help from the military. They've never been officially asked. | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
I know they have to get ministerial approval, I know they could say no, | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
but why not ask. That wouldn't cost the police anything. | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
The Duke of Cambridge has revealed how he tells his children stories | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
about their grandmother, Diana Princess of Wales. | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
As they approach the 20th anniversary of their mother's death, | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
Princes William and Harry have been giving an insight into how | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
A mother's photograph of her two boys. | :05:58. | :06:08. | |
Made public for the first time, it is an image that sums up | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
the sense of fun Princes William and Harry describe about Diana | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
Nearly 20 years on from her death, Prince William, now a parent | :06:15. | :06:22. | |
himself, talks of reminding his children of the grandmother | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
We've got more photos up round the house now, | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
of her, and we talk about her a bit and stuff. | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
And it's hard, because obviously Catherine didn't know her, | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
so she can't really provide that level of detail. | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
So I do regularly, putting George or Charlotte to bed, | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
talk about her and try to remind them that there are two grandmothers | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
- there were two grandmothers - in their lives. | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
Prince Harry was a boy of just 12 when he lost his mother. | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
In a conversation with one of her friends, Sir Elton John, | :06:49. | :06:50. | |
they reflect on her compassion, particularly her work | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
Everybody in that photograph is smiling. | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
I mean, she had an energy, she had a radiance. | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
In every photograph, there's a positive global, wonderful glow. | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
Also, she had this incredible ability which he kind of inherited - | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
and I told him that, and he said "Thanks very much" - | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
to make people feel at ease and make them feel that everything | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
Much has been said and written about Diana in the years | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
But, for this anniversary, it is her sons who are keen | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
to remind people of her impact on their lives and the world. | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
At least 35 people have been killed and more than 40 injured | :07:22. | :07:29. | |
in a suicide bomb attack in the Afghan capital, Kabul. | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
It's understood the attacker detonated the car bomb close | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
to a bus carrying government employees in the west of the city. | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
It's not yet clear who was behind the attack. | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
The young boy was last seen near a rundown farm house | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
on the Greek Island of Kos 26 years ago. | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
South Yorkshire Police say they believe Ben died as a result | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
But it's now been revealed soil samples taken during excavations | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
last year, indicate potential signs of human decomposition. | :08:02. | :08:10. | |
Ben Needham. Disappeared in 1991. In the years that followed, Ben's | :08:11. | :08:17. | |
mother Kerry pleaded with anyone that knows about her son's | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
disapaoernts to come forward. Last October, an extensive 21-day search | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
was conducted of land around the farmhouse where he was last seen and | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
a second site close by. After it emerged the toddler may have been | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
crushed to death by a digger. And now on the 26th anniversary of his | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
disappearance, a possible breakthrough. Signs of blood have | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
been found on items recovered by police during last year's search. | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
Some items brought back we submitted for further forensic work and the | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
results of that to date I'm led to believe show signs that there is | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
some human decomposition around the items we brought back from Kos. The | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
sandal and toy truck will now be tested for Ben's DNA in Aberdeen. | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
About 60 items in total were brought back to the UK for analysis. We are | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
providing information that there is a strong indication from this | :09:19. | :09:26. | |
chemical profile that we were able to ascertain that this was present | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
on the items as a result of blood decomposition. South Yorkshire | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
police hope this latest development will go some way in proving what | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
happened to this little boy. Commuters face travel chaos this | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
morning after South West Trains was forced to cancel services | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
running into the UK's busiest A signalling problem | :09:49. | :09:50. | |
on the Woking line means services across the network | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
are unable to run. The company said passengers are | :09:56. | :09:57. | |
"strongly advised" not to travel - with delays and cancellations | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
expected throughout the morning. Waterloo is the UK's busiest railway | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
station. The Business Secretary is to | :10:07. | :10:27. | |
announce a boost in innovation and energy storage. Under the plans, | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
households could save up to ?40 billion by the year 2050. If you are | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
just waking up to this, this is a question that has worried viewers of | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
Doctor Who for ages. The Doctor Who writer | :10:42. | :10:51. | |
has laid to rest one of fans' most fiery debates, | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
what is the Time Lord's name? It comes as a first glimpse | :10:56. | :10:57. | |
of Peter Capaldi's final outing in this year's Christmas special | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
has been released. Writer Steven Moffat insists | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
the real name is "Doctor Who" He said it was established in | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
the 1966 episode 'The War Machines', But he admitted the Doctor doesn't | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
often call himself "Doctor Who" because in Moffat's words, | :11:14. | :11:21. | |
it's a "stupid name". It leads to many questions if you | :11:22. | :11:34. | |
say "my name is Doctor Who. Coming up later, Michael Phelps will take | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
on a shark. What would that look like? Who will win? We'll show you | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
later on. We are going to look at the history of man versus animals to | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
see if the animal... What more could you want! Stay with us for that. | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
The international rugby referee, Nigel Owens, has never been afraid | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
He was one of the first figures in the macho world | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
Now, as part of a BBC Panorama special, he's | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
revealed his decades long battle with bulimia. | :12:09. | :12:10. | |
It's a condition he's suffered from throughout his career | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
including during the Rugby World Cup final two years ago. | :12:14. | :12:15. | |
In a moment, Nigel will be here to tell us why he's decided | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
But first let's see a clip from the programme. | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
He's refereed some of rugby's biggest games but off the pitch | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
Nigel Owens has faced a tougher battle. | :12:28. | :12:29. | |
I've struggled with an eating disorder for over half my life. | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
Men in particular find it very difficult to talk about it. | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
As a teenager he struggled with his own sexuality and depression. | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
The type of person that I was finding attractive was not | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
finding me attractive or would not find me | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
attractive because I was fat, overweight, obese. | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
So I'd go to the toilet and make myself sick | :12:56. | :13:05. | |
pretty much every meal nearly, you know. | :13:06. | :13:07. | |
The UK's largest eating disorder charity is Beat. | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
Its advice centre here in Warrington receives 20,000 calls a year. | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
Around one fifth are from men and boys. | :13:14. | :13:15. | |
It is definitely the case that men and boys are not | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
Many of them don't want to be seen as suffering from what is perceived | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
as a girls' problem or a women's problem. | :13:25. | :13:36. | |
Panorama says there's been a large increase in the numbers of men | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
seeking help. Thank you for joining us and massive respect for you for | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
talking about this because it's so important. Tell us how bulimia's | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
affected you and when did you realise you had a problem? I was | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
about 19 when it started when I was having issues dealing with my | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
sexuality and suffering from depression and stuff then. I lost a | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
lot of weight through becoming bleepic, went from 16 and a half | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
stone to 11 and a half stone, then I went to the gym and got hooked on | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
steroids. I used the bulimia then to keep control of the weight. For the | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
first four or five years of when it suffered with it, I probably | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
suffered and started to feel sick two or three times every day. I | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
didn't know I was suffering from bleep ya five or six years later | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
when I heard a friend saying one of their friends suffered from it and | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
then I realised. I think of it as something like a controlling thing, | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
like I controlled it to keep my weight at that level, I guess. Over | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
the years, how has it affected you? Are there certain times you find it | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
more difficult and other times when it's almost like a normal life? It | :14:55. | :15:03. | |
is now. The first few years was intense, pretty much every day, you | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
would eat your main meal, if you are out eating with friends, having | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
dessert, you wouldn't have it, you would go to the toilet, make | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
yourself ill, come back and eat the dessert. When I acceptd who I was, | :15:16. | :15:22. | |
went through a difficult patch and nearly ended up losing my life | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
dealing with my sexuality and stuff, the bulimia became something to | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
control the weight frequently then. I mum was diagnosed with terminal | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
cancer in 2008 and when she told me and my dad that she only had a year | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
to live, I was eating a bit to comfort myself then and went the | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
toilet to make myself sick, I couldn't do it. I realised my mum is | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
fighting every day to spend more time with us and fighting an illness | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
she can't do anything about and I thought, I've got an illness I can | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
do something about. I stopped for three or four years then. It kicked | :16:00. | :16:05. | |
back in 2013, 2014, I needed to achieve the fitness levels that are | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
quite high for somebody my age, you have to pass a fitness test to | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
become a referee same as somebody in the 20s, so I used it as losing the | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
kilograms to help me get through the fitness. It's been there since but | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
not as frequent ait was in the early years. | :16:24. | :16:30. | |
Listening to you, there are so many things you have said that a so | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
insightful. It has like it is exhausting, something you can't | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
escape from. So many people will be watching this programme in a similar | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
position, unable to speak about it. How do you move on? Is it something | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
you have always got to live with? I hope that isn't the case. But I have | :16:51. | :16:59. | |
been living with it for about 27 years now. I thought I was in | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
control of it. I just needed to lose some weight. But busy I am not in | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
control otherwise I would not be suffering. But speaking to experts | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
after doing the programme, and speaking to individual cases on the | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
programme, I realised the hell they and their family had been through, | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
and some of them have been through it much worse than me, and it is | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
only now I realise that the clear message is if you are suffering from | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
it, the sooner you accept yourself, as with any issues in your life, | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
whatever they are, the sooner you accept yourself that you need help | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
and you talk to somebody and get the correct help, and it is a different | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
story whether the correct help is there, but as soon as you accept | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
that, that is the biggest challenge. As soon as you can identify it and | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
get the right help, the better the chance you have of recovering. That | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
was the clear message for people out there. Get the help as soon as you | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
can. You don't want to be at my stage, 30 years on, still having to | :17:59. | :18:06. | |
suffer from it. It is amazing how honest you are about it, considering | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
the world you live in, the macho rugby world. Here you are saying | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
that in preparation for the World Cup final, you were struggling with | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
bulimia. What has the response been from your peers? You are regarded as | :18:18. | :18:24. | |
the best referee in world rugby. It depends who you speak to! But hugely | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
supportive. From the first challenges in my life, accepting her | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
I was, and coming out in the macho world of rugby, and then talking | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
about that later on more in-depth, and I have never spoken about | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
bulimia before, but the responses in the last day over social media, | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
there's the board has been massive. That is encouragement for anybody | :18:46. | :18:53. | |
suffering. -- that support has been massive. It is not a sign of | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
weakness to talk about your issues. It helps you to gain strength. It | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
certainly helped me in the last 24 hours seeing the responses on social | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
media. The sad thing is actually seeing how many people are going | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
through it. There are a lot of messages from people of all ages who | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
say they have been going through it for years. I am very lucky that I am | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
in the great sport that rugby is, we are close-knit family, people do | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
rally and support you. That is important. Not just to get through | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
life but through any issues that we come across in life. You need the | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
support of your family and friends and rugby is just one big family. | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
Thank you so much for coming to talk about it. Lots of people will feel | :19:35. | :19:42. | |
affected and if you are, if someone you know is affected by the issues | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
raised in this interview, and you want to find out more, there are | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
details of organisations offering information and support on eating | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
disorders at the website. And you can also call for free to hear | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
recorded information any time. We will put that on Twitter and | :20:00. | :20:00. | |
Facebook as well. BBC Panorama: Men, Boys | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
Eating Disorders is on BBC One tonight at 8:30pm and afterwards | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
on BBC iPlayer. Now here is Carol with another look | :20:09. | :20:18. | |
at the weather. Good morning. Mixed fortunes depending on where you are. | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
Useful pictures in this morning, this one from Cambridge. A lot of | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
cloud and spots of rain. That is the story for central and eastern areas. | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
But in the west, Cornwall, a lovely start to the day with beautiful | :20:33. | :20:34. | |
sunshine and the same across the Wirral as well, blue skies. Where we | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
have got clearer skies, it is quite chilly with temperatures picking up | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
quickly. Under the cloud, temperatures will not rise | :20:47. | :20:48. | |
particularly high as we go through the course of the day in the east. | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
If you are on the east coast itself, we do have a brisk wind coming in | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
from the North Sea, accents rating that cold feel. It is this weather | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
front producing the showery outbreaks of rain drifting east. But | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
in the west there is high pressure. Through the cause of the morning and | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
into the afternoon, we hang on the cloud in central and eastern areas. | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
Splashes of rain and drizzle and a keen northerly wind. Towards the | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
west, different story. Low cloud around at the moment will burn away. | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
In most western areas we are looking at sunshine. Some holes develop in | :21:27. | :21:33. | |
the cloud, so it will brighten up across the Midlands, East Anglia, | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
down to Sussex. We have also got some showery outbreaks of rain here | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
and there and not everywhere. Across the Pennines and into southern | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
Scotland, variable amounts of cloud. More cloud in north-eastern | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
Scotland, not the low cloud of this morning, and then further west, | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
sunshine. Just the risk of an isolated shower. In Northern | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
Ireland, the cloud will burn away and there will be high temperatures | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
of 23. In Wales and south-west England, a sunny afternoon again. If | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
you are tempted down to the coastline, it will be cooler on the | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
coast. This evening and overnight the showers will fade and the winds | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
will lighten. Clear skies will develop. Clear skies left over from | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
the daytime as well. There may well be pockets of fog that nothing too | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
dramatic. Across the sheltered glens in Scotland it will be a cool nights | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
down to single figures. Tomorrow we start off with a fair bit of | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
sunshine, much drier down the east coast, the wind is not as strong, so | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
not feeling as cold. Some showers here and there. And in the | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
south-west we have a new set of weather systems coming our way. Low | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
pressure is coming moving swiftly from west to east on Wednesday. You | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
can see from the squeeze on the isobars that it will be windy as | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
well. There is the rain coming from the west to the east. Behind it we | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
see something drier and brighter but still a few showers to be had. It | :23:02. | :23:03. | |
looks like a busy day. Thank you. Earlier this year, we told | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
you about the shocking It's a former legal high, | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
which leaves users in BBC Breakfast has been told that | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
despite being banned more than a year ago even | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
more virulent versions Breakfast's Jayne McCubbin has | :23:19. | :23:20. | |
spent time with those on the front line in Newcastle | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
as they try to tackle the issue. Volunteers from the homeless charity | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
Changing Lives are checking Traditional drugs they | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
know how to deal with, changing nature of new, | :23:35. | :23:46. | |
psychoactive substances MPS is unknown, it is | :23:47. | :23:48. | |
constantly evolving. We find the effects of it | :23:49. | :24:00. | |
can be really extreme. I'm actually trying | :24:01. | :24:02. | |
hard to come off it. I have never been in this state in | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
my life and I want offer it. The images of so-called spice | :24:07. | :24:18. | |
zombies caught the headlines, But while the press attention has | :24:19. | :24:20. | |
faded, the problem hasn't. These outreach workers are among 250 | :24:21. | :24:28. | |
people who have been given When Darren and his colleague | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
found a rough sleeper, unresponsive, lips blue, | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
they knew exactly what to do. While he was on the phone | :24:35. | :24:42. | |
to emergency services, I was busy giving chest compressions | :24:43. | :24:45. | |
until the ambulance service arrived. That was one life saved, | :24:46. | :24:47. | |
but latest official figures show that while NPS deaths | :24:48. | :24:57. | |
are rare, they are increasing by just over a quarter | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
in one year to 114 deaths. Paramedics who help | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
train people like Darren tell us casualty rates | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
are rising again. We are starting | :25:15. | :25:16. | |
to see a spike again. An increase of different | :25:17. | :25:18. | |
and new drugs The current threat is a new drug | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
called super spice. At Newcastle A, they tell me | :25:22. | :25:31. | |
the ban has led to a change, but only in the kind | :25:32. | :25:34. | |
of user being admitted, I am not convinced that | :25:35. | :25:36. | |
the pressures have changed much. We would expect to see | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
a number of people each day. Some may be unresponsive, | :25:43. | :25:44. | |
some aggressive. It all depends on | :25:45. | :25:47. | |
what is in the drug. They are trying to | :25:48. | :25:49. | |
find that out in this lab at Manchester | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
Metropolitan University. They have a new and unique way | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
of working with police. Samples are analysed within 24 hours | :26:01. | :26:07. | |
instead of the usual four weeks. Toxicity results are immediately fed | :26:08. | :26:10. | |
back to users and the emergency This sample was one of the ones | :26:11. | :26:12. | |
linked to a significant rise in hospitalisations a few months | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
ago, about 53 people How old were you when | :26:19. | :26:20. | |
you first started? If the ban had been | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
in place from the start, Rhys might never have | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
started taking drugs. Instead he lost ten | :26:33. | :26:38. | |
years of his life. Today, he's kicked the habit, | :26:39. | :26:40. | |
but he says young people are finding new ways of buying | :26:41. | :26:43. | |
on the street and online. Is there any evidence | :26:44. | :26:44. | |
that the problem is going No, if anything it is | :26:45. | :26:47. | |
getting a lot worse. Walking through the streets | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
of Newcastle, kids are starting It is not being ignored | :26:54. | :27:01. | |
by the government. NPS is mentioned in its drug | :27:02. | :27:09. | |
strategy for the first But with no additional funds | :27:10. | :27:11. | |
to tackle it, some say this is a problem which | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
won't easily be fixed. The Home Office told Breakfast | :27:16. | :27:19. | |
that the Government's new drug strategy is supporting people | :27:20. | :27:25. | |
through treatment while also tackling the supply | :27:26. | :27:26. | |
of illegal drugs. Hello, this is Breakfast, | :27:27. | :30:57. | |
with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. Our main headlines... The parents of | :30:58. | :31:11. | |
Charlie Gard returned to the High Court today with the judge set to | :31:12. | :31:16. | |
consider new evidence from a US adjust. His parents want to take | :31:17. | :31:21. | |
their terminally ill baby to America for experimental treatment. But | :31:22. | :31:24. | |
doctors at Great Ormond Street Hospital say it will not work, and | :31:25. | :31:29. | |
they say the 11-month-old should be allowed to die with dignity. The | :31:30. | :31:33. | |
mother of the missing airman Corrie McKeag has urged police to continue | :31:34. | :31:37. | |
efforts to find her son. She spoke to police this morning. On Friday, | :31:38. | :31:42. | |
officers called off their 20 week search on a landfill site net | :31:43. | :31:45. | |
Cambridge after no evidence was found. They have done a phenomenal | :31:46. | :31:51. | |
amount of work in searching the landfill so far. All the individual | :31:52. | :31:56. | |
officers, I will never be able to thank them enough. But let's make | :31:57. | :32:01. | |
those last 20 weeks that they have searched worth something. I know | :32:02. | :32:06. | |
they're desperate to find Corrie, but let them finish. Ask for help | :32:07. | :32:12. | |
from the military, I know they have to get ministerial approval, I know | :32:13. | :32:15. | |
they could say no, but why not ask? It wouldn't cost the police | :32:16. | :32:21. | |
anything. The Duke of Cambridge has revealed how he tells his children | :32:22. | :32:24. | |
stories about their grandmother, Diana, Princess of Wales. Princes | :32:25. | :32:31. | |
William and Harry have been giving an insight into how they try to keep | :32:32. | :32:36. | |
her memory alive as part of a new documentary which airs tonight. We | :32:37. | :32:40. | |
have got photos up around the house of her, and we talk about her bit | :32:41. | :32:44. | |
and stuff. It is hard because Catherine did not know her, and so | :32:45. | :32:47. | |
she can't provide that level of detail. So when I put George to bed, | :32:48. | :32:53. | |
I talk about her and try and remind him that there are two grandmothers. | :32:54. | :32:58. | |
At least 20 people have been killed and more than 40 injured in a | :32:59. | :33:01. | |
suicide bomb attack in the Afghan capital can sixth -- the Afghan | :33:02. | :33:09. | |
capital double town. It is not yet clear exactly who is behind the | :33:10. | :33:16. | |
attack. Scientists say they are examining a potential breakthrough | :33:17. | :33:21. | |
in the case of the missing Sheffield toddler Ben Needham, who was last | :33:22. | :33:23. | |
seen near a rundown farmhouse on the Greek island of Kos 20 years ago. | :33:24. | :33:30. | |
South Yorkshire Police say they believe Ben died as a result of a | :33:31. | :33:34. | |
tragic accident. But it has now been revealed that soil samples taken | :33:35. | :33:39. | |
during an excavation last year show signs of human decomposition. | :33:40. | :33:42. | |
Commuters face travel chaos this morning after South West Trains has | :33:43. | :33:48. | |
had to cancel services running into the UK's busiest station, London | :33:49. | :33:52. | |
Waterloo, because of a signalling problem on the Woking line. The | :33:53. | :33:56. | |
company said passengers are strongly advised not to travel, and there are | :33:57. | :34:04. | |
details of delays and cancellations expected throughout the morning. The | :34:05. | :34:11. | |
world's first full-scale floating wind farm has started to take shape | :34:12. | :34:15. | |
off the north-east of Scotland. Eventually, five giant turbines will | :34:16. | :34:21. | |
stretch for more than 175 metres and supply power to lunar 25,000 homes. | :34:22. | :34:27. | |
The first turbine has been put in place off Peterhead. Remaining four | :34:28. | :34:32. | |
will arrive from Norway in the coming weeks. Now, this is what we | :34:33. | :34:38. | |
have been waiting for, I have been checking the facts! On his way to | :34:39. | :34:45. | |
winning 23 Olympic gold medals, the American swimmer Michael Phelps has | :34:46. | :34:48. | |
struck fear into his fellow competitors. But his latest race was | :34:49. | :34:52. | |
about something a little different. Have a look at this. So, here is the | :34:53. | :35:00. | |
fastest human swimmer in the world over 400 metres, launching into his | :35:01. | :35:05. | |
race against a great white shark. It is actually a simulated version, you | :35:06. | :35:11. | |
will be glad to hear! The shark is virtual. The race was organised by | :35:12. | :35:24. | |
the Discovery Channel. After weeks of hype, the event was over in 36 | :35:25. | :35:31. | |
seconds. Michael Phelps lost by two seconds to the shark. There is the | :35:32. | :35:37. | |
virtual shark celebrating! And over the years, I have been doing some | :35:38. | :35:42. | |
research, there's being various man versus animal contests. I'm sorry, I | :35:43. | :35:49. | |
want to see those again! Can we do them again? Sally has joined us well | :35:50. | :35:57. | |
for this massive sports news. Bryan Habana, who used to play rugby for | :35:58. | :36:07. | |
South Africa, took on a cheater, and Bryan Habana lost. Jesse Owens took | :36:08. | :36:13. | |
on some horses, and the horses won. American footballer Dennis... Took | :36:14. | :36:18. | |
on an ostrich, twice, and the ostrich won, on both occasions. And | :36:19. | :36:26. | |
if you go on Youtube, you can see Shawn Crawford taking honours, | :36:27. | :36:30. | |
although. Who won? The zebra! On every occasion, the beast wins! I | :36:31. | :36:38. | |
think people might be saying at home, he's not swimming at the same | :36:39. | :36:42. | |
time as the shark! Honestly, don't think deeply about these things! It | :36:43. | :36:47. | |
would be quite dangerous to swim alongside a shark. And also possibly | :36:48. | :36:54. | |
cruel. But I remember the press release said, we are worried that | :36:55. | :36:57. | |
one of the competitors might eat the other one! He is a bit of an animal, | :36:58. | :37:04. | |
Michael Phelps! As you were saying earlier, obviously, very dangerous, | :37:05. | :37:08. | |
but had they been in the same pool, maybe Michael Phelps might have won! | :37:09. | :37:21. | |
Don't the great white sharks swim at 25mph? It's a bit unfair! Have you | :37:22. | :37:30. | |
ever met him? Huge, his legs. And his arms. He's got massive hands, | :37:31. | :37:33. | |
when he gives you a handshake, he tickles your elbow. Unbelievably big | :37:34. | :37:49. | |
hands! Where do we start? Forget about Michael Phelps, we have got | :37:50. | :37:54. | |
some incredible sport to talk about. And we have done something | :37:55. | :37:58. | |
unprecedented this morning, we have brought in an extra sports story at | :37:59. | :38:02. | |
fewers' request. But I'm going to start with the cricket. We do | :38:03. | :38:04. | |
listen! England's women are cricket world | :38:05. | :38:14. | |
champions after beating India by nine runs in the final | :38:15. | :38:16. | |
at Lord's yesterday. Natalie Sciver top-scored | :38:17. | :38:19. | |
for England as they set a target India looked comfortable | :38:20. | :38:21. | |
chasing that target, with Poonam Raut hitting 86, | :38:22. | :38:25. | |
but after she was dismissed, India collapsed, losing their last | :38:26. | :38:28. | |
seven wickets for just 28 runs. England's Anya Shrubsole, | :38:29. | :38:30. | |
who took the winning wicket, In front of a sell-out crowd, | :38:31. | :38:32. | |
England lifted the trophy Chris Froome has sealed his fourth | :38:33. | :38:36. | |
Tour de France title to put him second on the all-time list just | :38:37. | :38:41. | |
behind a group of He came through the largely | :38:42. | :38:43. | |
processional final stage through Paris unscathed, | :38:44. | :38:46. | |
and managed to enjoy a glass It's his third triumph in a row, | :38:47. | :38:49. | |
and he did it without winning American Jordan Spieth | :38:50. | :38:55. | |
is the new Open champion, but he did it the hard way | :38:56. | :39:14. | |
after a really He was already struggling | :39:15. | :39:16. | |
by the time he reached the 13th, when his tee shot ended up | :39:17. | :39:26. | |
on a steep bank. After slipping out of the lead | :39:27. | :39:30. | |
with a bogey on that hole, he then picked up five shots over | :39:31. | :39:33. | |
the next four, including He's only the second man | :39:34. | :39:39. | |
after Jack Nicklaus to have won three Major titles | :39:40. | :39:45. | |
before turning 24. What is that phrase you used | :39:46. | :40:01. | |
earlier? Intestinal fortitude! Nerves of steel! | :40:02. | :40:07. | |
England look set to progress to the knockout stages | :40:08. | :40:09. | |
of the Women's European Championship after a 2-0 win over Spain - | :40:10. | :40:12. | |
and they had a helping hand from one of the officials. | :40:13. | :40:15. | |
England were 1-0 up, but then Ellen White appeared | :40:16. | :40:17. | |
The referee awarded Spain a penalty, then changed her mind! | :40:18. | :40:21. | |
So, England escaped and Jodie Taylor made sure they took advantage, | :40:22. | :40:24. | |
Scotland look as though they'll be heading out at the group stage | :40:25. | :40:28. | |
They did score against Portugal in Rotterdam - | :40:29. | :40:31. | |
But Portugal scored to make it 2-1 and register their first win. | :40:32. | :40:35. | |
Great Britain have ended the World Parathletics | :40:36. | :40:45. | |
Adam Peaty goes in his first final of the World Aquatics Championships | :40:46. | :40:52. | |
in Budapest later today. Ross Murdoch will also be in the same | :40:53. | :40:56. | |
final, having qualified seventh fastest. There are seven other | :40:57. | :41:04. | |
British swimmers with finals today. And now, this is the request | :41:05. | :41:07. | |
section. So many people have asked for this, we ran it yesterday, | :41:08. | :41:10. | |
because it was Saturday, but by popular demand, who else, but Tom | :41:11. | :41:16. | |
Daley winning in the ten metre platform at the World Aquatics | :41:17. | :41:20. | |
Championship Said. It was a really competitive final, he was pushed all | :41:21. | :41:27. | |
the way by the Olympic champion from China. It all rested on his final | :41:28. | :41:37. | |
dive, and he was awarded two wax scores, there we go, we like it so | :41:38. | :41:41. | |
much, we ran it on two consecutive days. Well done, Tom Daley. | :41:42. | :41:49. | |
Great Britain have ended the World Parathletics | :41:50. | :41:50. | |
They won four on the final morning at the London Stadium, | :41:51. | :41:55. | |
including another gold for Sammi Kinghorn, who added | :41:56. | :41:57. | |
GB have won eight more medals at these championships | :41:58. | :42:03. | |
than they managed in Doha two years ago. | :42:04. | :42:07. | |
Next month, London plays host to the World Athletics Championships - | :42:08. | :42:13. | |
set to be the biggest sporting event in the city since the 2012 Olympics. | :42:14. | :42:17. | |
And this morning on Breakfast, we can exclusively reveal | :42:18. | :42:19. | |
that the British team captain will be 400m hurdler and Olympic | :42:20. | :42:22. | |
bronze medallist Eilidh Doyle, who we can speak to now. | :42:23. | :42:31. | |
Good morning, Eilidh, congratulations, you were voted for | :42:32. | :42:35. | |
by your team-mates, which must be really nice? Yeah, it is such an | :42:36. | :42:39. | |
honour, I was really shocked when they told me. It makes it even more | :42:40. | :42:43. | |
special to know that my team-mates have chosen me to be captain, it | :42:44. | :42:47. | |
means a lot. How do you think the team will do? I think we will do | :42:48. | :42:53. | |
really well. You can see the effect that home support can have on us, we | :42:54. | :42:57. | |
saw what happened in London 2012, and we've got a really big team, we | :42:58. | :43:03. | |
try to fill as many spots as we can, and I think we can see some really | :43:04. | :43:07. | |
special moments out there. Am I right in thinking that this is one | :43:08. | :43:10. | |
of the biggest teams we have sent so far? Be they try to fill as many | :43:11. | :43:16. | |
spots as possible, so we have pretty much three members for every event, | :43:17. | :43:20. | |
sometimes four. It's going to be one of our biggest teams. Not that long | :43:21. | :43:29. | |
ago, you were a PE teacher? Yes. That was quite a while ago. How has | :43:30. | :43:35. | |
life changed for you? I have been really lucky and train full-time | :43:36. | :43:42. | |
now. The school I was at, Perth Grammar School, was really supported | :43:43. | :43:47. | |
in allowing me to become a full-time athlete, and now, my time can be | :43:48. | :43:52. | |
given to athletics, going away to training camps, recovery time, and | :43:53. | :43:56. | |
things like that, so that I can get the most out of my sport that I can. | :43:57. | :44:00. | |
Do you ever think, I hope the kids are watching, feeling inspired? | :44:01. | :44:05. | |
Yeah, it is nice, a lot of them send me messages on social media and | :44:06. | :44:11. | |
things. I think it is nice for them to see their PE teacher out there | :44:12. | :44:14. | |
and doing it. You have competed in Glasgow, you mentioned the London | :44:15. | :44:19. | |
Olympics, how much help is the home crowd? It's such a support, I feel | :44:20. | :44:23. | |
so lucky that I've been able to compete at so many home Game. To | :44:24. | :44:30. | |
have the opportunity to go to London and have the home support, it's | :44:31. | :44:33. | |
going to be absolutely incredible. I'm so lucky. It will be the third | :44:34. | :44:42. | |
time in my career. Eilidh, congratulations and the very, very | :44:43. | :44:45. | |
best of luck to you and the team. Voted by the rest of the team, and | :44:46. | :44:52. | |
announced on Brexit! That will be taking place at the Queen Elizabeth | :44:53. | :44:57. | |
park in August Eddie Black fact will be live at the stadium every single | :44:58. | :45:00. | |
day of the competition. Can't wait for that. We have had a lot of | :45:01. | :45:06. | |
response about Nigel Owens, who has struggled with Bellini for decades. | :45:07. | :45:11. | |
If you missed that, and would like to see it again, we will put it out | :45:12. | :45:16. | |
on social media, and it will also be available on the iPlayer. And it was | :45:17. | :45:19. | |
on at about ten past eight. Liam Gallagher says he loves it, | :45:20. | :45:24. | |
the grime artist Stormzy And while Jeremy Corbyn says he's | :45:25. | :45:26. | |
not been watching the show, the Labour Leader does | :45:27. | :45:30. | |
have a favourite to win. Love Island is the reality dating | :45:31. | :45:34. | |
show that's blossomed from a brief fling into a full blown love affair, | :45:35. | :45:37. | |
with millions of viewers But alas, like so many summer | :45:38. | :45:40. | |
romances, tonight it In a moment, we'll speak | :45:41. | :45:45. | |
to one of the contestants. But first, let's take a look at some | :45:46. | :45:59. | |
of the highlights from the series. Not going to lie, it | :46:00. | :46:03. | |
looks a bit like a A wedding? | :46:04. | :46:08. | |
Are you going to propose to me? We've had such an incredible, | :46:09. | :46:12. | |
exciting time in the villa. We have so much more exciting times | :46:13. | :46:21. | |
to come, we've still got to Right now it's the happiest | :46:22. | :46:24. | |
I've been, and not just in here, like, | :46:25. | :46:34. | |
in a very long time. The two islanders with | :46:35. | :46:38. | |
the fewest votes to face our I'm going to miss you all, but when | :46:39. | :46:42. | |
it's your time, it's your time. a big smile on my face, | :46:43. | :46:52. | |
and I'm going to. We're not experts on this, Dan, but | :46:53. | :47:10. | |
we have been briefed. Joining us now is one | :47:11. | :47:13. | |
of this year's contestants, Jonny Mitchell, and Claire Hodgson, | :47:14. | :47:16. | |
Digital Editor at Cosmopolitan UK. For those people and I know many | :47:17. | :47:28. | |
people have been watching it minute by minute, but for those that | :47:29. | :47:32. | |
haven't, what a concept and what's going on? Essentially you a | :47:33. | :47:33. | |
beautiful villa in my Mallorca, you put in five beautiful | :47:34. | :47:48. | |
girls and five beautiful boys, and they have to couple up with each | :47:49. | :47:53. | |
other. Within the next couple of expectant couple up with different | :47:54. | :47:55. | |
people and who ever is left single debts booted out. It goes on for | :47:56. | :48:04. | |
seven weeks. A big commitment. What's the reaction been to the | :48:05. | :48:09. | |
programme and do you think, given your time there, would you do it | :48:10. | :48:13. | |
again? The reaction had been mad. You go in not knowing what to | :48:14. | :48:18. | |
expect. You are in a bubble. I was in for five weeks and came out and | :48:19. | :48:22. | |
it exploded. I wasn't aware of the hype I would get from it. I would do | :48:23. | :48:28. | |
it again, I loved the experience. It was definitely mentally straining | :48:29. | :48:31. | |
when you are in there, but coming out, the reception you get. You have | :48:32. | :48:36. | |
moved all your social media accounts. I got hacked. You come out | :48:37. | :48:41. | |
of the villa and going to lockdown. You wait until the show has gone | :48:42. | :48:49. | |
out. I thought maybe it had crashed because it had too much hype. I got | :48:50. | :48:54. | |
my Instagram back, but Twitter is still down. I got hacked. I've | :48:55. | :49:01. | |
watched bits of it, and it sounds like one of those awful, not games, | :49:02. | :49:05. | |
but when you are picked for the team and your last to get picked. Its | :49:06. | :49:10. | |
deals with so many issues. The great thing about the show is that it's | :49:11. | :49:14. | |
quite true to real life in a very intense way. One of the real | :49:15. | :49:18. | |
standout stars of this series has been Montana, who for most of the | :49:19. | :49:22. | |
show ended up being one of the single contestants, but because of | :49:23. | :49:25. | |
that I think the viewers warmed to her. You could really associate with | :49:26. | :49:31. | |
there and watch her and enjoy her. It's true to real life, I think. Who | :49:32. | :49:37. | |
did you partner up with originally, and when you left, there was a bit | :49:38. | :49:41. | |
of needle when you left because you chose to go so your partner could | :49:42. | :49:46. | |
stay in. I was originally with Camilla. When I first came in we had | :49:47. | :49:53. | |
a connection. That went on for a while but didn't work out. And then | :49:54. | :50:02. | |
I ended up coupling up with Tyla. We with the least popular people at the | :50:03. | :50:09. | |
time, and we had to decide between us who was going to go. I decided to | :50:10. | :50:13. | |
take the high road and leave. She said she would wait for you. That's | :50:14. | :50:20. | |
the general consensus. And then... She coupled with someone else! She | :50:21. | :50:26. | |
did! I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little bit annoyed by it, | :50:27. | :50:30. | |
maybe because of her reaction at the time. It's so intense in there. With | :50:31. | :50:34. | |
her reaction, I said, of course I will wait. It was only five days, I | :50:35. | :50:40. | |
didn't see her making it to the final, no offence! But she was | :50:41. | :50:47. | |
really upset. But that happens, that's life. True to real life, like | :50:48. | :50:53. | |
you said. It's so intense, it's like life speeded up. Is that why people | :50:54. | :51:02. | |
are watching it? We talk about it so much when we are in there. A week is | :51:03. | :51:06. | |
like a month and a day is like a week. When you are living with | :51:07. | :51:09. | |
people you get to know them so well and emotions are crazy. It amplifies | :51:10. | :51:15. | |
everything. It's being watched by millions of people every night. The | :51:16. | :51:19. | |
first series started quite small but it has kept on growing. It has grown | :51:20. | :51:24. | |
massively. Last year on Cosmopolitan we covered the show, but this year | :51:25. | :51:27. | |
we have seen the numbers on site, how many people are watching it. It | :51:28. | :51:35. | |
is phenomenal. Among that millennial generation. You were in late Commies | :51:36. | :51:41. | |
started watching this series, so what brought you to it? As with a | :51:42. | :51:45. | |
lot of people, at the moment, there is a sense of fomo. For those who | :51:46. | :51:57. | |
don't know? Fear of missing out. You have a show like this that is on | :51:58. | :52:01. | |
every night and millions are talking about it every night. It snowballs. | :52:02. | :52:05. | |
The more people watch it, the more others want to watch it. 70% of the | :52:06. | :52:14. | |
viewers are women under 35. How are you getting on with Theo Walcott? | :52:15. | :52:21. | |
viewers are women under 35. How are you getting on with Theo Were not | :52:22. | :52:23. | |
best mates, but we have sorted out some differences. I think Camilla | :52:24. | :52:34. | |
and Jamie will win, but I would like Marcel and Gabby to win. If both | :52:35. | :52:42. | |
people try to steal the money then they get nothing, but one person can | :52:43. | :52:49. | |
steal to walk away with 50,000. That has happened in the past, but | :52:50. | :52:52. | |
Caroline Flack has teased a bit of the final. It's on this evening and | :52:53. | :52:55. | |
we will have to wait and see. The Love Island Final | :52:56. | :52:57. | |
is on ITV2 tonight, at 9:00pm. You can tell your daughters you have | :52:58. | :53:02. | |
met Jonny now, a big moment. Here's Carol with a look | :53:03. | :53:14. | |
at this morning's weather. Pictures of lovely blue skies across | :53:15. | :53:38. | |
Cornwall. Some cloud around and a bit of drizzle. There is an East- | :53:39. | :53:44. | |
West split. Out towards the east we have a weather front that is slowly | :53:45. | :53:48. | |
drifting further east towards the North Sea. Here it will be cooler | :53:49. | :53:54. | |
especially with onshore wind down at the North Sea coastline. This | :53:55. | :53:58. | |
morning we have a fair bit of cloud across central and eastern areas | :53:59. | :54:01. | |
with the rain. There's the winds towards the West. It is brighter. A | :54:02. | :54:08. | |
bit of low cloud in Northern Ireland this morning, but that will break up | :54:09. | :54:10. | |
over the next couple of hours and the sun will come out. Western areas | :54:11. | :54:17. | |
generally having a fine sunny and warm day. Highs of 22 in Belfast. | :54:18. | :54:23. | |
Sunshine in Scotland, one or two showers in the West, but the cloud | :54:24. | :54:26. | |
breaking up over the north-east. Glasgow could hit 26. North-west | :54:27. | :54:33. | |
England is in the sunshine. Central and eastern parts hanging on to the | :54:34. | :54:36. | |
cloud with spots of rain and drizzle. East Anglia and the | :54:37. | :54:41. | |
Midlands could see some holes developing in the cloud and sunny | :54:42. | :54:46. | |
spells developing. To the south-west and Channel Islands, again, a lot of | :54:47. | :54:49. | |
sunshine feeling pleasantly warm in the sunshine. The same across Wales, | :54:50. | :54:54. | |
sunny and dry in the afternoon. Through this evening and overnight, | :54:55. | :55:01. | |
the wind going away a touch. Showers fading, clear skies, and we could | :55:02. | :55:05. | |
see pockets of fog. Nothing too drastic. Under the clear skies in | :55:06. | :55:09. | |
Scotland, temperatures tumbling into low single figures. A much drier | :55:10. | :55:15. | |
start to the day across eastern areas tomorrow. The wind will not be | :55:16. | :55:19. | |
as strong. Looking like a fine day. There will be some cloud around and | :55:20. | :55:24. | |
also sunny intervals. Here and there in the Highlands you could see the | :55:25. | :55:27. | |
odd shower. Later in the day the cloud thing good foot could thicken. | :55:28. | :55:48. | |
The rain rattling through, some of it will be heavy. Behind of it there | :55:49. | :55:57. | |
will be dry spells. Still a few showers. Temperatures of 49 and 21. | :55:58. | :56:02. | |
By the end of the week we are into sunshine and showers. Very | :56:03. | :56:03. | |
changeable. We can talk about towers, bowls, | :56:04. | :56:22. | |
heifers and Brexit. What could go wrong? | :56:23. | :56:26. | |
We've sent Sean to the Royal Welsh Show, | :56:27. | :56:28. | |
which is the biggest event in the British | :56:29. | :56:30. | |
This is a bull, I'm on top of it. 7000 livestock here, up for prizes. | :56:31. | :56:42. | |
We have been talking about subsidies all morning, but we are getting down | :56:43. | :56:47. | |
to business. We have a dairy farmer, with us all morning, keeping an eye | :56:48. | :56:54. | |
on all the cows all the time. Why do they spend so much time making their | :56:55. | :56:58. | |
animals look nice? They spend a lot of time rearing this animal. He is | :56:59. | :57:02. | |
15 months old and they want to show something that is truly impressive. | :57:03. | :57:06. | |
This is a really impressive animal. You're trying to show off the size | :57:07. | :57:11. | |
of the animal. They are putting up the hair so it adds to the grandeur | :57:12. | :57:15. | |
of the meat on the animal, because he's a meat producer. I will go and | :57:16. | :57:24. | |
introduce myself to some of them. What's this one up for today, what's | :57:25. | :57:32. | |
the selling point? He's in the class for the younger Welsh Black | :57:33. | :57:36. | |
tourists. What's the best thing about him? His temperament, is | :57:37. | :57:49. | |
lovely. -- Welsh Black bull. And this is Rubin, what's so good about | :57:50. | :57:54. | |
him? Lots of curly hair and big ears. That's the most important | :57:55. | :58:01. | |
thing to look for in a beef animal. What has been a main bit of work | :58:02. | :58:05. | |
you've done on him this morning? He has been washed and blow-dried. He | :58:06. | :58:08. | |
went for a manicure and various other things. He's been all over the | :58:09. | :58:16. | |
place. He seems pretty happy. Best of luck today. And who's this? This | :58:17. | :58:27. | |
is Kai. And what's in for today, what's his selling point? He's in | :58:28. | :58:35. | |
the tourist class. -- the bull class. Everything looking pretty | :58:36. | :58:44. | |
shiny and all in good order. We will let you know tomorrow who has won | :58:45. | :58:48. | |
what. I have really enjoyed this. I have learned so much. I really | :58:49. | :58:53. | |
admire him, in the nicest possible way, he knows nothing about cows, | :58:54. | :59:00. | |
but has done a sterling job today! I like the fact that just before we | :59:01. | :59:04. | |
handed to him, he looks down like that and said, just checking what it | :59:05. | :59:11. | |
was! He'll be back in more comfortable surroundings in the | :59:12. | :59:11. | |
studio tomorrow. How do you maintain a 17th century | :59:12. | :59:19. | |
manor house and update That's the challenge | :59:20. | :59:22. | |
faced by the owner of Desmond MacCarthy is searching | :59:23. | :59:27. | |
for ideas to keep his estate on the right side of bankruptcy - | :59:28. | :59:30. | |
and his endeavours are documented in the second series of BBC | :59:31. | :59:33. | |
Two's Normal In Norfolk. We'll speak to him in a moment, | :59:34. | :59:36. | |
but first let's take a look inside the hall that's been | :59:37. | :59:38. | |
in his family for decades. The new window was built in 1907, | :59:39. | :59:47. | |
and there are four bedrooms. For many years, it has remained empty, a | :59:48. | :59:51. | |
drain on resources and only rented out for the occasional guest. Even | :59:52. | :59:56. | |
house you love, and you have lived there a long time, it seems | :59:57. | :00:00. | |
incredibly sensible to want to preserve it and keep it as a | :00:01. | :00:05. | |
thriving way of living. It is all very time-consuming. When I was a | :00:06. | :00:12. | |
child, that was my parents' room, that was my room, around the corner | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
was my sister's room, and that was a spare room, or the nursery. I'm | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
always putting money into the place, often with not huge prospects of | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
massive return. And here with us now | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
is Desmond MacCarthur, Good morning to you. We've got to | :00:32. | :00:40. | |
mention straightaway, your magnificent eyebrows, which bring | :00:41. | :00:47. | |
you so much love and joy from the viewers, people ask you about them | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
all the time wanted it is amazing, I wanted the programme to be about | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
ecology and nature and wildlife, and really, the attention for the | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
eyebrows has been extraordinary, I can only really talk about the | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
wildlife inhabiting my eyebrows. And they have their own marketing, I | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
understand? We have some merchandising with the eyebrows. I | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
never thought I would have such eyebrow envy! Very nice of you, | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
thank you very much. They are powerful eyebrows! It was your idea | :01:21. | :01:27. | |
to have this programme, you wanted to talk about all those things you | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
just mentioned? I wanted to show a farm, but see the things which go on | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
on a farm, and how farmers endeavoured to make money out of it, | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
but look after the environment and encourage wildlife, which is in a | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
parlous state, and also show how people go about managing big, old, | :01:48. | :01:55. | |
bumbling, impossible houses. And get a few points across. Because they're | :01:56. | :02:03. | |
so much money that you need to spend on the estate just to keep it going, | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
the heating, repairs and essentially, we get an insight into | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
all those schemes you try and do to keep you on the right side of | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
bankruptcy. That's right. We started a restaurant, and we are in a | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
wonderful position, on the Norfolk coast, and lots of wonderful views | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
of the marshes, and we have a lovely kitchen garden, where regrow a lot | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
of vegetables. And very good chefs, very good staff in our restaurant. | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
We do holiday accommodation and we are always thinking of new ideas, | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
which party, I'm not sure, I have never been diagnosed with ADHD but I | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
like to move on with new ideas. This year, it is a maze, and the rain has | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
come at the right time, it has all grown, and everybody is getting | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
lost, mostly my staff! Let's have a look at a tip from when you were | :02:59. | :03:08. | |
cleaning a well. The first rule is, do not fall down the well. This is | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
an old well, I think, very useful. Good God! Look at that mouth! Don't | :03:17. | :03:26. | |
you go in there, you lunatic! Don't mess about, make the dog sit. You've | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
disturbed its home! Look at that mouse! Lower the ladder down, it's | :03:34. | :03:41. | |
far too deep. Just trot it in and then measure the rope. Will you get | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
the ladder across that, across the middle of the thing? He's in the | :03:46. | :03:56. | |
way, isn't he? Look at that, that's clear as... Perfect! No! Fine. | :03:57. | :04:10. | |
You're still with us! Was the water OK but? It was fine, and we pumped | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
it out, the water quality, it was a very old medieval well and we pumped | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
it out and deepened it, a man came and deepened it, and the water | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
quality is good. Did you ever think there would be so much interest, | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
when you first started out, you're now in your second series? No. When | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
the BBC wanted to make this programme, I thought, great, what a | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
wonderful opportunity, because I love my home, I love living and | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
doing what I do, but to think that anyone, other people would be | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
interested... But it is very photogenic, they've made it very | :04:49. | :04:57. | |
well, the seasons, the country sports, people are really interested | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
in those. And my mother is rather remarkable. And your mum is how old | :05:02. | :05:10. | |
are hour? She's going to be 102. And our very vibrant cafe and a | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
wonderful staff. I must say, I have probably put 10 years on her, | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
because you know, she keeps it all... Yes, stimulated, and very | :05:20. | :05:27. | |
good food and it is a beautiful place. I'm very lucky. Thank you | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
very much for coming on. Thank you for inviting me. | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
The second episode of Normal in Norfolk is on BBC Two | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
Kathy Reichs is an American crime writer who has a knack for turning | :05:40. | :05:44. | |

Kathy Reichs is an American crime writer who has a knack for turning | :05:51. | :07:50. | |
A forensic anthropologist by training, her work has | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
taken her from Guatemala to Ground Zero. | :07:54. | :07:54. | |
It meant she only wrote her first novel at 49. | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
Now Kathy is also a best-selling author and the producer | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
of the hit US TV drama, Bones. | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
Good morning to you. So much success, and the writing side of it | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
coming later in life. Tell us about your new book, it is a different | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
take on what you've been doing? Totally new, new character, new | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
premise, new setting. Her name is Sunday Night. She has a very unusual | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
childhood, so she has a lot of demons. And shame drawn into the | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
case of looking for a girl who has gone missing at a terrorist bombing | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
at a Jewish girl school. Because of her personal history, she agrees to | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
try to help this goal. Not because he's a cop or a scientist, she | :08:35. | :08:41. | |
personally compelled to do it. Is it refreshing to be writing for a new | :08:42. | :08:43. | |
character, in some ways? Oh, completely. When I did the Brennan | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
books, there are 18 of them, and you can figure out how old I am...! | :08:51. | :08:57. | |
Thanks! I had to keep checking back. That was to make sure I was | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
consistent with the characters and the features. With this, I could | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
just make it up, and that was really fun. But it is all drawn from | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
experience, and test means you have heard and things you have been | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
involved in - was there something in particular which inspired this | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
latest book? Well, this latest one, my second book dealt with cults, and | :09:17. | :09:25. | |
the got me into thinking, how do cults regulate the behaviour of | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
their members, we had quite a few of these cults who killed themselves, | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
killed each other. This new character grew up in that situation, | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
and I was thinking, what would happen to a child who grew up in one | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
of those apocalyptic cults, and everybody they knew died? That is | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
the background, that's where the trigger for the idea came from. You | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
have had a long and successful career as a forensic anthropologist, | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
and you have dealt with some really distressing things, presumably, in | :09:58. | :10:04. | |
your lifetime? This is true. I have testified at the UN tribunal on | :10:05. | :10:13. | |
genocide in wonder, I worked at Ground Zero, I exhumed a mass grave, | :10:14. | :10:24. | |
all of these fed into my writing. How is it different to writing on | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
your own, and how does the relationship work? Once you have got | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
a partner, you have got to answer to them. As easily so he's very good at | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
arguing his position, in editorial meetings, we discuss our creative | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
differences, and it can get heated at times. But we did six books | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
together, and then he dumped me, he's got off on his own now! He just | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
came out with his first so low book, called Nemesis. It was almost more | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
like writing for TV, because in TV, when you write a screenplay, you do | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
the story in the writers' room with the other writers so it is | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
collaborative. Have you enjoyed Bones, is it just a different skill? | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
Writing a screenplay is very different from writing a novel. You | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
really have to stay dead on a. It is similar in that you have your main | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
story, and then your secondary story about something going on with the | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
characters. So the structure is similar. But with TV, when you write | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
scripts, it is really dialogue, you don't have to put anything | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
descriptive in there. But it is a lot of fun working in the writers' | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
room with the others. And also a challenge, it's such a competitive | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
world, television, particularly now, to keep a show like that going for | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
such a long time? 12 years. We are the longest-running scripted drama | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
in the history of Fox. When you first started writing, was it | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
something you always wanted to do, did you feel you had stories to | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
tell? No. I spent all of my undergraduate years in the science | :12:01. | :12:08. | |
labs. I did an introduction to fiction course, but all I did was | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
scientific writing. Then I was made a full professor, I was free to do | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
what I wanted. I had just worked on a serial murder case, which had some | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
interesting elements, and so I had an idea and I had some freedom to | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
try something new, so I try this kind of fiction. You normally take a | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
year to write a book, so is this taking you longer, are you churning | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
them out quicker? For a while, I was writing the book with my son, I was | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
writing a screenplay for the show, I was writing an adult book and short | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
story every year. That was really brutal. So now, it seems almost | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
relaxed, I'm back to just writing the Sunday Night box. How does she | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
wait as a character? I like her a lot, she's tough, she's smart in | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
some ways similar to Temperance, she's different. She's got guns, she | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
been in the military, she's been a cop, she has got a skill set which | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
is very different from Temperance. Very cerebral, scientific, she was. | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
And the new book is called Two Nights. Thank you so much for coming | :13:22. | :13:22. | |
on to tell us all about it. That's it from us - | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
join us from six tomorrow, when we'll be joined by members | :13:28. | :13:29. | |
of England's World Now on BBC One, it's | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
time for Wild UK - | :13:33. | :13:35. |
