25/07/2017 Breakfast

Hello, this is Breakfast with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

Charlie Gard's parents say they will spend their last precious

moments with their son after ending their legal fight.

They've released this new picture of Charlie.

Great Ormond Street hospital has praised the bravery

Good morning, it's Tuesday 25th July.

Also this morning, a clampdown on leasehold charges,

There's been a sharp rise in new houses being sold leasehold

rather than freehold, and it could cost homeowners

A vigil has been held in protest at the death of a man who died

I think we are having some problems with the graphics, but we should see

her in about 15 minutes. Aydin and Carol! We will see her later on --I

demand Carol. Charlie Gard's parents

say they are preparing to spend their last precious moments

with their terminally ill son. It comes after they ended

their legal battle to take him In a statement, Great Ormond Street

Hospital where Charlie is on life support said they recognised

the agony, desolation and bravery This photograph of Charlie Gard was

released by his parents last night as they accepted their fight is

over. They're desperately ill baby boy should be allowed to die.

Yesterday, they agreed to end their legal battle descent into the US for

experimental treatment. Emerging from an emotional hearing to pay

tribute to do some. Our son was an absolute warrior, and we could not

be prouder of him and we will miss him terribly. His body, heart and

soul may soon be gone, but his spirit will live on for eternity,

and he will make a difference to people's lives for years to come, we

will make sure of that. They will spend his last few days by his side.

The hospital pay tribute to their courage, saying their agony,

desolation and bravery had hobbled all who worked there. Charlie has

been in intensive care since October. He has a rare, inherited

condition that means he cannot move, seed or breathe unaided. In June,

judges that he should be allowed to die, but the case came back to court

when this American urologist claimed the evidence that his experimental

therapy could help -- feed. New MRI body scans were ordered, last week

his parents accepted that they showed that his muscles had wasted

so significantly that he was beyond help. There was bitterness he did

not get the chance of treatment sooner. A whole lot of time has been

wasted. We are now in July, and our poor boy has been left to just lie

in hospital for months. Great Ormond Street Street insists earlier

treatment would not have saved him. His mother said she would be haunted

by the questions for the rest of her life, but for now, they had to let

Charlie go. Up to 150 people held a vigil

outside a police station in East London last night in protest

over the death of a young black man. There has been anger in the local

community following the death of Rashan Charles in the early hours

of Saturday morning. People threw bottles and sticks

at police after the vigil, What do we want? Justice! Anger and

frustration was visible on the streets of Hackney following the

death of 20-year-old Rashan Charles. He died after being apprehended by

police on Saturday. A vigil was held outside Stoke Newington police

station last night. During that, Rashan Charles's father called for

justice. We ask for justice on this. Basically, I want everybody to

understand what happened, this is a peaceful protest. After the vigil,

roads were blocked with bins and bags of rubbish. It was relatively

peaceful until the police moved in to end the protest. Then some of the

crowd threw hands and bricks. It is to 20 a.m. On the police have

finally moved in to clear this road that has been blocked for the last

seven hours. A lot of local people are shouting things out, there is

clearly a lot of anger here. By all accounts, this has been a reasonably

peaceful process. The police a Rashan Charles was seen swallowing

something when apprehended, but a campaigning group says it is

enormously concerned and angered by his death. The Independent police

complaints commission is now investigating.

Sorry, I was talking to Ben. That's all right, you were being social.

Builders could be banned from selling leaseholds on new homes

in England under plans put forward by the Government today.

Can you explain to me why this is important? It is a real issue for

many people. There is a big rise in the number of new homes that are

being sold with a lease. That would traditionally only apply to flights.

It means is pacing is like ground rent and communal services. Houses,

traditionally they have been freehold, it means you own the land

on which the house is built. What we have found is that there have been a

lot of elders building new homes, especially in the north-west of

England, who are selling them with a lease. It may seem like a semantic

change, but it could mean that homeowners are in for thousands of

pounds of extra costs. They may want to put an extension on the house, do

some renovations. They would have to ask permission from the leaseholder

to do so and they could charge them. It also means you have to pay ground

rent every year, there is no limit on how much landlords can charge.

There are also associated fees for extending the lease. If you have a

short lease, you would have to pay a lot of these to extend that. In some

cases, if it has a short lease, it makes it very difficult to sell it.

And difficult to budget, because they could double rent and...

Absolutely. Hidden fees. It is the way for housebuilders to make a bit

more money. They may seem like they are lowering the costs, but what we

have seen is that these leases are being sold on to other financial

institutions. It is not the builder who has built the house by

discharging it, it is the financial institution. They say, this is

great, homeowners have to pay rent on the lease. I've got a regular

income. It could cost thousands. The English government says it needs to

stop. We will ask how that is going to be done.

And after 8 we'll be speaking live to the Communities Minister Sajid

UK animal welfare standards could be threatened if farmers have

to compete against cheaper, less-regulated rivals from outside

That's the warning from a House of Lords committee.

It's urging the government to insist on similar standards in any free

trade agreements to avoid what it calls a race to the bottom

The President of the United States says the special relationship

between the UK and the US is going to get even better.

Donald Trump described talks between American officials

and the International Trade Secretary, Liam Fox,

as the start of a new chapter of stronger ties.

A row has broken out over rail investment after the government said

it would work with the Mayor of London to progress plans

It comes after recent announcements cancelling rail electrification

schemes in Wales and the north of England.

We're joined from Westminster by our political correspondent

Tell us about the background of this, what does it mean? It all

boils down to a row about where money goes in terms of railway

investment. For those who stand up for the North of England are being

let down in terms of comparison to London. There was a proposed new

London to South Railway, but it would not be finished until two to

-- 2000 23. A discussion around cancelling rail electrification

projects in the Midlands and the lack district, that has also led

those who stand up for the North of England are less than chuffed. I

would love to have seen Chris Grayling stand up in Parliament and

bring this up. If he had had on that, I think there would have been

uproar. Where I will go now with this is to contact Greater

Manchester MPs and other MPs across the North. While this might be the

government's view, that it can cancel schemes out of London and

give money to crossrail, I doubt it will be Parliament's view. There

needs to be a vote to see whether or not MPs agree that this is the way

to proceed with rail investment in our country. Andy Burnham, well

aware of the government numbers needed for votes here. I.e., they

struggle to make the numbers add up. He is not the only mare in the north

of England to suggest he is a bit frustrated. The Mayor of the

Liverpool region has said something similar. Those who say that the

cancellation of electrification projects is not as bad as it might

sound, because of the of new trains that can run on diesel and electric,

but this looks a bit tricky for the government regardless. -- there are

those who say. Hundreds of firefighters

in the South of France and Corsica are battling huge forest fires

which have been fanned by high A blaze has swept through 1,600

acres of the Luberon national park in Provence, while people have been

moved to safety from a town in north This is a zookeeper in southwest

China who has to dress up as a panda It's because the animals

are due to be released The cubs have to learn to live

on their own and not rely on humans, so zookeepers pretend to be

pandas when they interact You can see the zookeeper cuddling

and playing with the cubs, who seem very happy to see the human

dressed as an older panda. Pandas, like most animals, would

surely know that is a human. They seem quite at ease with a human with

a massive head in there. We have a very high bar for panda pictures.

You should see the panda pictures that we reject. Some of the best

panda pictures we have ever seen. Later on, at ten past eight, we will

be joined by two of England's greatest cricket stars. I will be

talking about reaction from the crowd and how many people were

watching them on Sunday. A huge sell-out crowd.

But starting with a man who just cannot be beaten in the pool. Look

out that bicep, it's just ridiculous. I want to know what he's

doing in the gym to get that. He was doing some press ups with one of his

friends. Remember at Thelen pics when he did one of those jumping

press ups? -- at the Olympics. It was a great evening

in the pool on day two of the World Aquatics Championships

for Great Britain who won two golds. Adam Peaty successfully

defended his world 100 metre breaststroke title in

a new championship record. He finished over a second ahead

of his nearest rival. GB's second gold was a bit more

of a surprise but no less deserved as Ben Proud took the 50

metre butterfly title. He's already the Commonwealth

champion over this distance, but his best event -

the 50 metre freestyle - He competes in that

at the end of the week. The RFU has been criticised

after deciding not to renew contracts for the England

women's 15-aside team. The Six Nations champions

defend their world title in Ireland next month, but the RFU has said

after the tournament, the focus will be shifted

to the sevens squad ahead of next And Manchester City have broken

the world transfer record for a defender by signing Monaco

full back Benjamin Mendy The France international has

signed a five-year deal. What is the debt that within five

minutes, we will be calling him Benjamin? Pronunciation is very

interesting, isn't it? This is getting ridiculous though, and they?

-- the fees -- aren't they? Fingers crossed that we can see Carol now.

Good morning. Cloud that will fade. Most of us have sunny spells.

Pleasantly warm in the sunshine. You can see cloud in the south and east.

Some in the west. Rain coming our way tonight. In between, dry

weather. This is the cloud in the east and south-east producing spots

of drizzle. Turning over through today. Sunshine coming through.

Across much of the UK, that is generally the story. Dry and sunny.

Having said that, one or two showers in south-west England and Wales

through the day. In the sunshine, temperatures between 20 and 23.

Northern Ireland, a dry day for you. Lots of sunshine. 20 degrees in

Belfast. For much of Scotland, dry and sunny. The north-east. More

cloud. Dark cloud producing showers. That will depress the temperature.

The south-east, patches of fair weather cloud. Not spoiling it. A

beautiful day for most. Highs of 22. Overnight, clear skies. Through the

night, cloud building in the west Ahead of the band of rain coming in

a company by blustery winds. Not a cold night. Double figures for most.

It is courtesy of this level of low pressure. It will be windy.

Tomorrow, rain sweeping in from the west and moving east. Heaviest in

Northern Ireland, Scotland, northern England. And lightest in the south

of the country. It will go north-east towards north-east

Scotland into the North Sea. Behind that, brightening up to be sunshine

and showers. Some cloud across southern and south-eastern parts.

Temperatures down on what we are looking at today. 21, possibly 22.

The back edge of that is pulling away towards the near continent on

Wednesday night. Low pressure close to us. Squeezing isobars. Thursday.

Northern Ireland and Scotland in particular it is going to be wet and

blustery. Moving away from that, back on to the sunshine, pleasant.

Highs of 21. Back to you. It has been just glorious where I was

yesterday. I know some did not have it. Goodbye. I was in the

north-west. Ben is joining us. I'm getting some grief for having dyed

hair and you for your creased tie. Your hair? It got bleached in the

sun. While you are looking at that, the papers. The Times. Many have

pictures of Charlie Gard and his parents. They have been talking

about that story about ministers ending the scandal of rip-off

leaseholds. We will talk to Sajid later about that. This is the

picture they released yesterday of Charlie Gard. As you were saying,

his picture on the front of most papers. The Guardian. Talking about

a big rise in personal debt. Talking about that later and Charlie as

well. Height and obesity fears as well. What have you got over there?

We are in good company. A story that came out yesterday. Worth mentioning

today. The Office for National Statistics. They have shrinkflation

items, items getting smaller. It was all being blamed on Brexit initially

yesterday. Importing is more expensive. Sugar and chocolate is

getting more expensive and they are used to make these. Producers can

either put up the price will make the product smaller and keep it at

the same price. If you have a feeling they are getting smaller,

you are correct. Some have got smaller and the price stayed the

same. It is being dubbed shrinkflation, the price going up

but you get less. You have to buy it more regularly to pick consumers

feeling the squeeze are feeling the impact. -- regularly. The England

Women's World Cup rugby team. They will lose their contracts under this

cyclical funding team. The 7s team will be funded ahead of the

Commonwealth Games. Incredible. They will play next month in Ireland and

could lose their jobs and financial support and the contract. Many

people are disappointed about that. We are talking about the women and

their success. The Guardian sport section saying there is a

possibility cricket T20 could go to the Olympics for the Women's World

Cup. Talking about Jordan Spieth yesterday. This is the head of the

man who he hit on the noggin on the 13th. It hit his head and bounced a

bit further on and he went on to win. It looks like a bruise. Look at

this quote. "Have I got a Claret Mug?" It is the way you said

"landed". Surely Jordan Spieth will give him a present to say sorry. It

might be a hat. The school summer holidays are well

under way across much of the country, and while many

pupils will be relaxing, the Trussel Trust, which runs

hundreds of food banks across the UK, says thousands

of children risk going hungry Breakfast's Graham Satchell

is at a food bank in Salisbury Good morning. Good morning. A real

struggle for some families. We are at one of the now 400 food banks

across the country. They handed out about 11,000 tons of food last year.

Everything you can see here, 90% of it has been donated by the public.

Activity going on this morning. Emergency food supplies being sorted

out by Trussel Trust volunteers. 47% of children who were helped last

summer were of primary school age, between the ages of five and 11.

67,000 handouts in total last summer. They have a spike over the

summer months as families struggle. They will be put on special clubs to

help them. I was talking to a single mother almost there, and this is her

story. -- mother, Sarah. My name is Sarah and I've got

a nine-year-old son and I'm I work 16 hours a week

so it is quite a struggle. Summer holidays I find quite

a struggle because of extra costs, you know, outings, activities

and going out with friends Two times, extra snacks,

extra activities. Do I pay the bills, do I pay

the rent, or do I pay for food? And that's what we're here for,

'cause actually we are here If you need any toiletries

or feminine hygiene, or anything like that,

we have that there as well. The prices are going

up in the shops. The gas, electrics going up,

you know, every year. The council tax's going

up, the rent goes up. I think people can't always keep up

because your wage does not seem to go up as much as other things

and I think people will have to look Please, don't be scared to come

and see us again if you really We're always here

the people in a crisis. It's not just people

on benefits that struggle, it's people that work that can

struggle that little bit more because they get less help

from the government. And we heard just before from Graham

Satchell who was at a food bank this morning. A few technical issues with

him. We will need to him later. -- talk to him.

When last orders were called for the final time at a Derbyshire

watering hole, the regulars rallied round in attempt

We'll speak to the locals turned shareholders who've created a

community hub in their pub. They basically bought it and now they own

it. We have been wondering, if you had a pub, what would you call it?

We have had a few suggestions. This is Lou's Lounge. A nice number

you're rocking there. I prefer this one. Where isn't it? Come on. -- is

it. This is going well... What is going on? What would you call it?

Dan's Dive? I quite like Walkers About. Do you want a wireless fact?

Legitimately, you can get five "ands" in the same sentence. George

and Dragon. You can say I want the same

and Dragon. You can say I want the for me for now. We will be back in

half an hour. We will have another update from the BBC London Newsroom.

Goodbye for now. Hello, this is Breakfast

with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. It's

Tuesday 25th of July. We'll have the latest news and sport

in just a moment and coming up Following the decision

by the parents of the terminally ill baby Charlie Gard to end

their fight over treatment for their son, we'll discuss

the decisions that families and doctors have to make involving

desperately ill children. Also this morning, after a stunning

fightback at a packed Lords, we'll be speaking

to two of England's cricketers, Tammy Beaumont

and Alex Hartley, about Sunday's thrilling World Cup final

and what life is like for And the moon might not be made

of cheese, but new research suggests We'll discuss what this means

for hopes to build a base If you have just turned on your

television, we can promise you the best panda pictures you have ever

seen coming your way later on this morning. But now a summary of this

morning's main use. -- news. The parents of Charlie Gard

say they are preparing to spend their last precious moments

with their terminally ill son. It comes after they ended

their legal battle to take him In a statement Great Ormond Street

Hospital where Charlie is on life support said they recognised

the agony, desolation and bravery Charlie's father spoke outside the

High Court after the hearing. Our son is an absolute warrior, and we

could not be proud of him and we will miss him terribly. His body,

had in Seoul may soon be gone, but he will live on for eternity in

spirit and will make a difference to people's lives for years to come, we

will make sure of that -- heart and soul.

Builders could be banned from selling new houses as leasehold

properties under proposals put forward by the Government today.

It comes after it emerged some housing developers have been selling

the leasehold on to investment firms - without always telling homeowners,

leading to extra costs or rising charges for them.

It's the moment you've been waiting for.

This is a zookeeper in southwest China who has to dress up as a panda

It's because the animals are due to be released

The cubs have to learn to live on their own and not rely on humans,

so zookeepers pretend to be pandas when they interact

You can see the zookeeper cuddling and playing with the cubs,

who seem very happy to see what appears to be an older panda.

The cubs seem to be enjoying themselves greatly, but look at the

size of the feet. There is a clear difference there. Who does not want

to be that zookeeper? It looks just lovely! What do you think would be

the best job in the world? Your ideal job, if you could have it? Let

us know. Good morning. I was just thinking what a good football mascot

she or he would make. One team have a bear called Vernon. Carroll says

she wants to be a panda cuddler, pandas all over the world are

celebrating. It was a great evening in the pool

Adam Peaty successfully defended his 100 metre breaststroke

title, just missing out He now holds the top ten times

in the world for this distance, finishing over a second ahead

of his nearest rival. I just feel like a little boy again,

going out to the crowd. We got the award record for a reason, the

performance was just completely different to that swim. I was on

target, but I just missed out. GB's second gold went

to Commonwealth champion Ben Proud This isn't even his favoured event -

that's the 50 metres freestyle, which he competes in at

the end of the week. The gold medal was a bit

of a surprise, and for no one more I wasn't thinking about the race at

all. The thought of winning hasn't been on my mind since last night. I

just went in, maybe a medal would be nice, but... I don't know!

There's been criticism of the RFU's decision not to renew contracts

for the England women's fifteen-a-side team.

The world champions defend their title in Ireland next month,

but afterwards the RFU will shift focus to the sevens squad ahead

The RFU say several players will be offered sevens contracts.

Those who are involved in the 15's rugby at the moment at the elite and

will potentially have to look for further employment to sustain being

athletes. That is where the frustrations are coming about.

What's positive is that there is funding and support, it is just not

enough. There needs to be further investment, not just in rugby but in

other sports as we have seen in England's cricket.

England's cricket captain Heather Knight says their win

in the World Cup final could be a watershed moment for the women's

A sell-out crowd at Lord's watched her side narrowly beat India

on Sunday as they secured the World Cup trophy for a fourth

There has never been a better time to play women's sport or cricket in

this country. A lot of people growing up, including myself, we

looked at the landscape when we were younger and didn't have a lot of

role models. I think we would be very proud that a lot of young girls

now can watch women's cricket. It is a great thing to strive for.

Six years after partially severing his arm in rally crash,

Robert Kubica's hopes of returning to Formula One will move a step

closer next week when he tests a current Renault car in Hungary.

The 32 year old Pole has already done two tests in a 2012 car

and claims his physical limitations don't affect his driving.

The official two-day test will allow Renault to compare his performance

When you think about the injuries that he sustained in that crash,

arm, leg, all down one side, it is incredible that he has even come

back to this point. He says having done this test, he is stronger than

he thought he was. He is concerned. It must be a bit of a psychological

battle with yourself. Can I get back in a car? Do I have the control and

co-ordination? He said he surprised himself that he could do it.

Britain lays claim to world-leading animal welfare standards,

but members of a Lords cross-party EU committee are warning that Brexit

The concern is that once Britain leaves the European Union,

trade deals could leave farmers competing against cheap,

imported food from other countries which could see a dip

Peter Stevenson is from Compassion in World Farming,

Thank you for coming along. Is it a bit of scaremongering going on here?

No, not at all. Last Friday, Michael Gove, agriculture Minister, said

that we need to improve animal welfare standards in Britain. The

Lords report that this could be very difficult, because after Brexit, our

farmers could be undermined by the import of cheap meat and milk that

lower animal welfare standards. If that happens, farmers are going to

resist animal welfare standards and ask to lower them. What sort of

impact is, if we were to lower them, farmers in this country say they are

compassionate and go out of their way to look after the animals. What

good the impact be? It could be disastrous for our farmers and

animal welfare, and for our food safety. The answer is that when we

negotiate new trade agreements with the US, the EU and others, Britain

house to insist on the inclusion of a clause that allows it to require

imports to meet our animal welfare and food safety standards. If you

haven't got that, it could be a race to the bottom, which could be a

disaster for animal welfare and food safety. Give us some examples of

where standards might slip differential, as you say, they are

not maintained? All the talk at the moment is about a trade deal with

the US. If we can't prevent lower welfare imports coming in from the

US, they could flood our market with hormone fed beef, chlorine washed

chicken, meat and milk from genetically engineered animals. We

don't allow chicken to be washed in chlorine, for example, but you can

do that in America? Exactly. The reason it is washed in chlorine is

to remove the bacteria. There are very low animal welfare and hygiene

standards in American slaughterhouses. How would we know

that those standards were being adhered to? You are quite right,

that can be a difficulty. Part of any trade agreement, where you are

agreeing on certain standards, part of it is that UK inspectors would

have a right to go into the US and check that the standards would be

meeting the agreed standards. The standards in the US are much lower

than our own. Thank you very much, very interesting.

In a statement, the government says leaving the EU provides

an opportunity to develop gold standard policies on animal

What's going on this morning, Carol. Most of us will have sunny spells

which is good news if you like sunshine. We do some cloud around

across eastern parts of the country. That is producing some patchy

drizzle. To the west, patchy cloud. In between, some dry weather. The

sun is coming up and it is a pleasantly warm start to the day.

Temperatures that 15 Celsius. Down the east coast, we saw cloud this

morning and drizzle. Breaking up throughout the day. Without the keen

wind of yesterday, not feeling as cold as it did, either. In the west,

starting brighter. Sunshine through the day. We cannot rule out a shower

across south-west England or Wales. They will be the exception rather

than the rule. Most will stay dry, with sunshine. Northern Ireland

staying dry, highs of up to 20. In western and southern Scotland,

staying in the sunshine. A bit more cloud in the north-east producing

showers. Those will be fairly hit and miss. Northwest England getting

away with a fine and dry day. A bit more cloud left, but it is high. A

fine day through east Anglia and the Midlands. Heading through the

evening and overnight, clear skies for a time. The cloud building all

the time out towards the west, heralding the arrival of a band of

rain and blustery winds. Not a cold night, temperatures in double

figures across the board. This wind and rain is courtesy of low pressure

and eight cold front. Rain rattling through quickly from west to east.

The heaviest rain across Northern Ireland, northern England, the

north-west and Scotland. As it crosses the south, looking at

lighter rain. The wind will be quite blustery. Brightening up across

Northern Ireland, then Scotland, Wales and south-west England. Quite

a lot of cloud in the wake of this rain across the rest of England.

Despite the showers, still looking at high temperatures of up to 22

degrees. That clears overnight from the south-east. Low pressure still

very close to the north-west. We still have a squeeze on the isobars

as well. Translated, it means more rain across Northern Ireland and

western Scotland. Breezy across the rest of the UK. In some sunshine.

Very few showers, highs of 220-21. A quick look at Friday. A low pressure

centre close to the north-west producing some rain, for much of the

UK, dry. More rain waiting in the wings to swing in on Saturday.

Builders could be banned from selling new houses as leasehold

properties under proposals put forward by the government.

Thank you. This is to do with how builders have been selling new

houses recently. Also, some of the details

and costs that not all buyers When you buy a property, you buy

either "leasehold" or "freehold." Leasehold means you rent the right

to use the house from the person who actuallly owns the building

for a number of years, A leasehold agreement is normal

if you're buying a flat but they've become increasingly popular

with the firms selling In 2010, around 3,400 new build

leasehold houses were registered. But by 2016, that had more

than trebled to 10,300. That's causing problems

for an estimated 100,000 households. To find out why, let's speak

to Sebastian O'Kelly from the Leasehold Knowledge

Partnership who have been Good morning. Good morning. First of

all, the charges that buyers could be stung with. They are very

significant, devaluing the properties of around 100,000 people

around the country, who are now living in houses they cannot sell.

Why were these charges brought in? They are common if you have a flat,

but they were not common for houses. For pure profit for developers and

their friends, investors. People are buying homes. They think they can

live in them and raise a family. Having a leasehold house creates

asset at the rate expense that can be sold off to those offshore. -- at

their own. Where can people be hit with fees? There is Ground rent, an

annual charge on the lease. It could also be consequential if you want to

make improvements. This can be a lucrative form of the leasehold

game. You need consent to rent out to a tenant, you need consent if you

want to build a conservatory, change walls, put in a patio, even lay

carpet. This comes at a cost, leading to significant revenue

streams. That doesn't necessarily go to those who built the houses, but

those who package up houses and sell them to institutions. That is true.

It is not reputable institutions. In fact, very few of the ground rent

owners want to admit they hide behind nominee directors. Many are

offshore. It is a racket and it needs to stop. You can say

homeowners should read the small print. Is it not down to those who

buy things to read the law you have to have sympathy for homebuyers in

these cases. In the selling of new build property, it is incredibly

slick. There is a lot of complex bureaucracy. You can get incentives

if you use the developers' mortgage advisers and services and valuer. In

these professionals have warned people there are clauses which could

devalue houses in the least. Add to that the buy scheme, where taxpayers

pay 20% of the mortgage to get on the property ladder, it is difficult

to get out of the loop when you are in that. Thank you very much for

that. Explaining some of that. We should say there is an eight-week

consultation from the government about that. They are calling it

unfair that be it applies to England only. More on that later. -- unfair.

Pubs throughout the UK are calling time permanently at an alarming

rate, but for a few determined communities there is still hope.

There are dozens of community pubs, run and owned by local shareholders

where they not only pull the pints but also call the shots.

Breakfast's John Maguire is at the latest one

in the Derbyshire village of Holbrook.

I think he has a cow. A cow. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning

from Holbrook and Penny the Cow. It is freezing. This pub only opened up

eight days ago. They have a banner. Friends in high places. It was

painted by Picasso. Time to meet some locals.

The beer and the banter is in full flow in Holbrook. It was closed down

two years ago and marched to be demolished and replaced with

housing. -- marked. And then some locals got together to save it. This

was the hub of the community. This was where people met in the village.

It was a good restaurant, it was a good pub. When it closed, many

people is topped going out. -- stopped. We came and looked at it

when we first bought it and thought, oh my god, what have we done. It was

awful. But so many people turned up and help during the weekends and

week and so on. Many hours went into making this happen, actually. And

now it is incredible. As the project gathered pace, builders, structural

engineers, and carpenters from the village, they were all getting

together to help. There are now 51 community pubs across the UK, though

the first one opened more than 20 years ago. The start-up costs for a

is around ?350,000. The average investment is around ?1000. Much of

the rest of the money is raised through mortgages and loans. But for

those at Holbrook, the survival of the pub may be desirable, but is a

viable? All of those people investing. They have a vested

interest in its succeeding. Their rust deal some finishing touches,

but there is now a cafe as well. -- ??MACRO1 the bovine theme is

everywhere. Compared to the 30 pubs closing in the UK each year, the

number of these remains very small. But no community pub closed down

last year. That is Ruth, then, that they can survive with support. --

proof. A lot of support, especially from local people. I will say good

morning to some of them. You are a retired teacher. What did you do

here? What did I do? Oh my goodness. I took part with a vast number of

volunteers with great talents and skills who worked together with us

and turned it from a derelict mess into this lovely building you see

now. It has been open for eight days. It was packed last night. A

labour of love. Definitely. When we arrived the brambles were eight feet

tall. All sorts of delightful things we found. It was a case of laying

waste to start with and then making it look loved, which we did. There

are two other pubs in the village. You were not bereft of a pub. Why

was this one important? They are excellent. But this is a

particularly loved building. Many people have been in the village for

40- 50 years. There are many memories, many happy times, people

have had here. It is a beautiful building. It has a special magic

about it. People love it. You can see people enjoying themselves on

the lawns. It is a wonderful place to be. The landlady. Good morning. I

am sure the locals will not mind me saying you are the professional

here. 20 odd years of experience. Why work for these guys instead

February? I have to be careful what I say with them he -- Brewery. It is

quite scary. I am the one who knows how to do it, they say. My goodness.

But using skills you forgot you even had to get it up and running is

fabulous and a wonderful experience. It has been great ever since it

opened. It has been wonderful. Lovely. Thanks a lot. A lot more

from the pub later on. We are just drinking coffee this morning. Just

coffee. Honestly. It didn't look like that when you open the door the

wrong way. But it is early. Interesting. Absolutely brilliant.

And this morning we're asking you what you'd call your local

We've come up with a few ideas for ourselves. I am not sure if this is

your suggestion. We've got Lou's lounge. Minsch Inn. And Dan's Dive.

That doesn't look inviting. To why have they neck? It has disappeared.

Charlie Gard's parents say they are preparing

to spend their last precious moments with their terminally ill son.

It comes after they ended their legal battle to take him

In a statement Great Ormond Street Hospital where Charlie is on life

support said they recognised the agony, desolation and bravery

This photograph of Charlie Gard was released by his parents last

night just hours after they accepted their fight is over.

They're desperately ill baby boy should be allowed to die.

Yesterday, they agreed to end their legal battle descent

into the US for experimental treatment.

Our son was an absolute warrior, and we could not

be prouder of him and we will miss him terribly.

His body, heart and soul may soon be gone, but his spirit will live

on for eternity, and he will make a difference to people's lives

for years to come, we will make sure of that.

Charlie has been in intensive care since October.

He has a rare, inherited condition that means he cannot move,

from selling leaseholds on new homes in England under plans put forward

by the Government today. What should we be looking at? We are

-- traditionally relate leases to renting, however, now a new builders

are selling them with houses. It may seem like a semantic change, but it

could mean that homeowners are liable for thousands of pounds of

extra costs. They will not only have to pay rent on at least every year,

but if they want to make any changes to the home, extended, but on a

kitchen or similar, they have to ask for the permission from the person

who owns the lease. Lastly, if they want to extend that lease, it could,

and a significant cost. They are saying, we need to read the small

print. Make sure you know whether your house is being brought under a

lease or not. It is not fair that these houses are potentially being

sold with a leasehold. The government says it will consult on

that for homes within England. And after 8 we'll be speaking live

to the Communities Minister Sajid Up to 150 people held a vigil

outside a police station in East London last night in protest

over the death of a young black man. There has been anger in the local

community following the death of 20-year-old Rashan Charles in

the early hours of Saturday morning. People threw bottles and sticks

at police after the vigil, The anger and frustration

was visible on the streets of Hackney following

the death of 20-year-old Rashan He died after being apprehended

by police on Saturday. A vigil was held outside

Stoke Newington police During that, Rashan Charles's

father called for justice. Basically, I want everybody

to understand what happened, After the vigil, protesters blocked

with bins and bags of rubbish. It was relatively peaceful

until the police moved Then some of the crowd threw

bottles, cans and bricks. It is 2:20 am and the police have

finally moved in to clear this road that has been blocked

for the last seven hours. A lot of local people

are shouting things out, there is clearly

a lot of anger here. But by all accounts,

this has been a reasonably The police say Rashan Charles

was seen swallowing something when apprehended,

but a campaigning group says it is enormously concerned

and angered by his death. The police watchdog,

threatened if farmers have to compete against cheaper,

less-regulated rivals from outside That's the warning from a House

chapter of stronger ties. A row has broken out over rail

investment after the government said it would work with the Mayor

of London to progress plans It comes after recent announcements

cancelling rail electrification schemes in Wales and

the north of England. We're joined from Westminster

by our political correspondent I will ask you to explain why you

don't have a jacket a bit later on, but first, the more important news.

It is a question of rail investment and where we are spending taxpayer's

money. Chris Grayling said yesterday that he is pretty keen on the idea

of Crossrail two, the rail line between Surrey and Hertfordshire. It

would not be built for quite a long time. And there are questions about

where the money will come from. The other day, there was an announcement

of the cancellation of some electrification projects in south

Wales between Cardiff and Swansea. They are upgrading the rail lines

between Newcastle and Northmead. Those standing up for the north of

England are not exactly chuffed. What we need a substantially better

rail services than the ones we've got. Trains old, tired, packed out.

They are frequently late. The system is creaking. When you go to London,

you see the public transport system. For every ?1 that the government

gives to the north of England, London gets six. As a result of this

decision today, that gap will get even bigger. It is quite frankly

outrageous. So, a lot of noise coming out of their. That is a

pneumatic drill that pulled up behind me just as I decided to talk

to you! Impeccable timing. And what about the jacket? I was wearing a

jacket at six o'clock this morning, not at seven. I could see a big

staying in a very prominent position, and I thought, you know

what, I just don't think I can wear it. It is going to be a nightmare

for a dry cleaner. I fear my jacket is a goner. It is not particularly

warm enough to be going without a jacket, either. You could fashion

yourself one. Vatican authorities have begun

China who has to dress up as a panda It's because the animals

are due to be released The cubs have to learn to live

on their own and not rely on humans, so zookeepers pretend to be

pandas when they interact I have my doubts about this because

I imagine the animals probably know that it would be a human, rather

than a panda inside there. But they seem to be really happy. What a

wonderful job. In time to have a look at the panda mascot. Look at

that. Quite similar, really. Always had his sights on being crowned

Scotland's top mascot. There are a lot of great candidates, Paisley

Panda is just one of them. They used a piece of toilet roll for the

shirt, that was deemed unacceptable. Paisley Panda, very interesting.

The parents of Charlie Gard have ended their legal fight

over his treatment and have accepted it is time to allow him

But the case has highlighted the awful dilemma faced

by the parents of terminally ill children - when to stop fighting.

Yesterday, Chris Gard paid tribute to his warrior son.

Our son is an absolute warrior, and we could not

be prouder of him and we will miss him terribly.

His body, heart and soul may soon be gone, but his spirit will live

on for eternity, and he will make a difference to people's lives

for years to come, we will make sure of that.

We are now going to spend our last precious moments with our son,

Charlie, who unfortunately won't make his first birthday in just

under two weeks' time. We would ask that our privacy is respected at

this very difficult time. To Charlie, we say, mommy and daddy, we

love you so much. We always have and we always will, and we are so sorry

that we couldn't save you. The parents of Charlie Gard have

released a new photo of their son, which has made the front page of

many of the papers. Charlie's case has drawn

support far and wide, including

from the President of But it has also raised questions

about the relationship between doctors, parents,

their children and the courts. Iain Brassington is a senior

lecturer in medical ethics at the University of Manchester

and he joins us now. Throughout the court battle, we have

seen this issue highlighted. There are difficult decisions to be made

all the time in hospitals. It is not often it gets to this. How is it

prevented and how can we stop it getting to these... They have spent

months in court talking this? It is very tricky, because inevitably

there will be a case that throws up issues that are just tired. It has

been suggested in the last 24 hours that there might be ways of

mediation. For myself, I am not quite persuaded by those arguments.

A lot of the time, I can see how case like this, there may have been

problems with communication and mediation may have helped smooth

discussions. But there will always be cases where the parents are

insistent that one thing happens, and the doctors are insistent that

something else happens. It is not mediation, it is just a case of

medical fact. There is an answer to be found, that is where the judges

have to come in. Even if there were to be some kind of mediation, I

suspect it would have to be negotiated by the court. And, a new

medical expert could come in and say, what about this therapy, this

experimental technique? It must be so difficult for a judge to try and

work out whether there is any need all reason to say, we can

It was suggested there was up to a 10% chance it would work. The

question that has to be asked is, is 10% enough? Shouldn't be 5%? 20%? --

Should it be. When it is a child, it is very emotional. But maybe this is

not a game worth playing any more. The chance was so low. It was his

parents that have stopped this action because of his scans. His

father on the steps of the court talked about time and the time it

has taken for this whole court process to go along. He is saying

that may have impacted on the medical condition. Can anything be

done about timescale? It will be one of those difficult questions. There

will always have to be time to digest the evidence. That will take

time. You cannot rush it. In the Gard case, in April, the judge made

a ruling treatment should be withdrawn. Then it was subsequently

suggested this treatment might help. Then you have to start again. You

need time to get the experts in. That takes time. But then you get

this rather unpleasant drawing out of the process. One of the things

the judge said was pointing out the fact his parents could not get legal

aid. How much will that be part of the discussion going forward? It

might be. It was tucked away towards the end. Some of it was powerful.

The judge said his family had public support. But, there are other

families in similar positions who could never take that kind of

action. The comments of the judge in his ruling... It is only a couple of

sentences, but I think it is powerful. That might be one of the

more important things coming out of the case. The judge looking at

things as they stand not doing what was intended. So difficult. Thank

you. ?1.3 million is being raised to find his treatment. -- fund. His

parents have said the money will be used to start a foundation in his

name. Thank you very much. The weather. Carol is with us. Good

morning. Good morning. Cloud around this morning.

Sunny spells later on. The clouds in the at the moment. This is where it

is at its biggest. Producing drizzle. Low cloud in Northern

Ireland. Most will break. Sunshine coming through. We will have it down

the east coast. The exception of Northern Ireland, it is bright and

sunny. Northern Ireland will join in the next few hours as the cloud

melts away. Western Scotland, sunshine. Cloud. A few showers.

Northern England. Fair weather cloud to be Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, East

Anglia. Heading south. Back into the sunshine. Temperatures picking up.

The east coast will not be as cool because the wind is not as strong.

Wales, dry and sunny. However, you cannot escape showers completely.

They will be isolated. Northern Ireland. Breaking low cloud back

into the sunshine. 20 degrees, possibly more in Belfast. Overnight,

a lot of dry weather. Out towards the west, building cloud. That

brings this next band of rain accompanied by blustery winds. It

will not be cold. Temperatures in towns and cities staying at double

figures. You can tell from the squeezing isobars that it will be

fairly windy. That will push this wind and rain around from west to

east quickly. The heaviest will be in Northern Ireland, Scotland, and

northern England, especially the north-west of England. More light

towards the rest of England and Wales. Brightening up initially as

it goes away. You can see behind that cloud in central and eastern

England, one or two showers. The highest temperatures at 22. That

eventually pulls away onto the near continent. The centre of low

pressure is very close to the north-west of the UK. Squeezing

isobars. Western Scotland and Northern Ireland on Thursday,

another wet and blustery day. Moving away from that, just a few showers

ahead of that. And then the rain gets in the eastern Scotland. For

most, remaining dry with highs of 21. 21 in the sunshine and a gentle

breeze, it will feel pleasant for the time of year. Absolutely. Thank

you. Quite pleasant. See you later on.

The school summer holidays are well under way across much

of the country, and while many pupils will be relaxing,

the Trussel Trust, which runs hundreds of food banks

across the UK, says thousands of children risk going hungry

Breakfast's Graham Satchell is at a food bank in Salisbury

We can go there now to see some of the food. Good morning. Good

morning. Yeah. There are 400 food banks like this around the country.

They handed out 11,000 tons of food. 90% of what you can see is donated

either public. A little bit of activity. Lucy and James willing

emergency boxes. It is a tricky month, summer, as school holidays

are in. 47% of the children receiving food handouts were of

primary school age, 5- 11. 67,000 handouts

in total last summer. They have a spike over the summer

months as families struggle. They will be put on special

clubs to help them. I was talking to a single mother,

Sarah, and this is her story. My name is Sarah and I've got

a nine-year-old son and I'm I work 16 hours a week

so it is quite a struggle. Summer holidays I find quite

a struggle because of extra costs, you know, outings, activities

and going out with friends Two times, extra snacks,

extra activities. Do I pay the bills, do I pay

the rent, or do I pay for food? And that's what we're here for,

'cause actually we're If you need any toiletries

or feminine hygiene, or anything like that,

we have that there as well. The prices are going

up in the shops. The gas, electrics going up,

you know, every year. The council tax's going

up, the rent goes up. I think people can't always keep up

because your wage does not seem to go up as much as other things

and I think people will have to look Please, don't be scared to come

and see us again if you really We're always here

the people in a crisis. It's not just people

on benefits that struggle, it's people that work that can

struggle that little bit more because they get less help

from the government. I would like to say thank you very

much to Sarah. It is not the easiest thing to talk about. Families to

face extra pressure over the summer period. They do. Over the term they

have free school meals. Once the holidays come in, financial

pressures can kick in. It can be an extra 30- ?40 per week. We like to

offer support as much as we can do feel that gap to bite that is enough

to push some people over the edge. It is. -- gap. It can cause a crisis

in the family. You are hosting playgroups. Yes. We have them across

the country. We usually work with families referred from schools and

children's centres. We aim to be there for people that do need the

support. Sometimes we open at wider if we can. But the whole idea is to

break that social isolation and support them during that time. Thank

you. The government said the best way out of poverty is employment.

The truth is that there will be thousands of families this year

relying on the banks to get them through the summer. That is it for

now is in Salisbury. -- in. Thank you. It is difficult to talk about.

There's been criticism of the RFU's decision not to renew contracts

for the England women's 15-a-side team.

The world champions defend their title in Ireland next month,

but afterwards the RFU will shift focus to the sevens squad ahead

The RFU say several players will be offered sevens contracts.

That is where the frustrations are coming about.

Robert Kubica's hopes of returning to Formula One will move a step

closer next week when he tests a current Renault car in Hungary.

The 32 year old Pole has already done two tests in a 2012 car

and claims his physical limitations don't affect his driving.

The official two-day test will allow Renault to compare his performance

He will be driving the 2017 car, which will be faster and more

challenging. He is very worried about whether he would have the same

power, co-ordination and control, but I think he surprised himself.

Are we talking about something else now?

Millions of pounds are to be invested in order to develop

new antibiotics that can tackle superbugs,

in an effort to stem the global danger of drug resistant bacteria.

?13.5 million will be shared between research bodies in six

countries, as part of a five-year project.

Projects in the UK, India, Ireland, France, Switzerland and the US

Currently, 700,000 people die worldwide each year

because of drug-resistant infections.

But there are warnings this could rise to 10 millIon by 2050.

If antibiotics lose their effectiveness,

then key medical procedures - including stomach surgery,

caesarean sections, joint replacements and chemotherapy -

could become too dangerous to perform.

We're joined now by Tim Jinks, head of drug-resistant infections

Queue for joining us. -- thank you. Why do we need this new research? We

need it because we need to fill the pipeline of drugs in development, as

we are losing the fact of drugs. This is the problem with resistance

as it occurs, it is that resistance is causing us to lose the utility of

the current drugs that we have. So we need to build up the pipeline

with drugs that are affected. What bacteria are we most risk from? The

ones that are the most threatening at the moment are the ones we refer

to as grand negative bacteria, for example, E. Coli. They cause serious

and life-threatening illnesses. They have generated resistance and we

have fewer treatment options in development today. Why do you think

we have waited so long to develop new antibiotics? Have we thought

that the drugs that we have would have been able to deal with all the

issues we have today? That is a very good question. There are a couple of

problems that have really got us to where we are. First of all, the

natural phenomenon of resistance is always going to occur. Historically,

we have been able to invent our way out of this problem. As it stands

today, the business case that supports private industry has become

much less favourable. Industry has backed away from investing in this

space. At the same time, resistance continues to grow. The two together

are creating something that could turn into a perfect storm, we could

have significant failure in our ability to treat these infections.

10 million predicted by 2050. When can we expect new antibiotics to

become available? How long will we be waiting? The ones we are looking

at today that the initiative is investing in is probably going to be

about ten years before it is fully licensed and can be made available

to patients on a broad scale. It takes a lot of time to develop the

candidates and take them through the necessary safety studies that have

to be done before they can be made available. It is a long process and

that is why we need to move with urgency to press for now. If it is

such a serious problem, why haven't we been treating this before? It is

not that there hasn't been an effort to do this, but it is something we

have been aware of in the community for a very long time. Actually, we

need to change how we approach the issue and how we deployed the

activities to get it done. That is why organisations such as the

Wellcome Trust and our partners in the US are pushing incentives and

not relying on the industry alone to move things forward. Thank you so

much for your time this morning. Coming up on the programme today,

the parents of Charlie Gard today say they have decided to let their

son go after their legal fight to take him abroad for treatment. The

government is planning to ban builders from selling leaseholds on

new homes to protect buyers from long-term financial abuse. And on

that subject, we will be talking to the communities Secretary in about

half an hour. Here's Carol with a look

at this morning's weather. 21 degrees in Dorset would be

lovely. Most of the cloud breaking up this morning, most of us will see

sunny spells. Those of us have cloud down the east coast of the country,

that is where it is producing some patchy drizzle. Patchy cloud across

Northern Ireland lifting, all areas will have sunshine through the

course of the afternoon. That doesn't mean it is going to be own

dry. Waddle to showers around, you're more likely see them to the

north of the Central Belt. Most of Scotland, dry with sunshine away

from the north-east. Northern England has sunny spell through the

afternoon. Cloud knotting away. In the east coast, we have lost a brisk

wind. Not feeling as cold. East Anglia and the Midlands, a lot of

dry weather. In south-west England and Wales, looking at a sunny

afternoon. Here, there is the risk of a shower. Fairly isolated, most

of us missing them. It could be unlucky to catch one. In Northern

Ireland, a sunny afternoon with highs of 20. In the west, cloud

building. Rain arriving, accompanied by blustery winds. It is not

dissimilar to what we have the moment. 14- 15. Rain is coming in

courtesy of this weather front attached to low pressure. Looking at

those isobars tells me it is going to be quite windy. Rain coming in

from the west, rattling towards the east. Heaviest across Northern

Ireland, Scotland and northern England. Lighter as it moves across

southern areas. It will clear, except for the of Scotland. Writing

up from the west behind it with some sunshine and a few showers. You can

see, for the bulk of England, we are looking at quite a bit of cloud

tomorrow. A 21- 22. Through the evening and overnight, losing that

front, south-east. Low pressure moving ever closer to us. You can

see the isobars squeezed together. For west of Scotland, Northern

Ireland, rain coming in. Spreading over to eastern Scotland. Northern

England seeing cloud and a few showers. For the rest of England and

Wales, a pretty fine day. In the sunshine, eyes up to 21. That will

feel quite nice. On Friday, here is the centre of low pressure bringing

in some rain across northern Scotland. For the rest of us, bright

spells, sunshine and showers. And breezy. That would be lovely.

Your money won't go as far when you're travelling

Ben's got more on making the most of your cash.

Don't blame. I always have to give the bad news. We will give you top

tips to negate it. It's pretty bad news if you're off

on holiday to France or Spain You can see from this graph how

the value of the pound against the euro has been on overall

downwards trend for the last few months, probably as many

people were planning Towards the end of last week it hit

the lowest rate for around eight months, which had a big effect

on the exchange rates on offer. At Cardiff airport travellers

were getting just 88 euro cents So, what can you do to make your

holiday money go a bit further? Pippa Jacks is from

Travel Trade Gazette. Good morning. We have to deal with

it somehow. What can we do to make what money we have go further? The

first thing is preparing to go away. How can you get a better deal? Don't

turn up at the airport and exchange at the airport because rates will be

as bad as possible. Do it on line before you go. You can do it at a

supermarket or a train station. Those rates can be good. Even if you

do it at the airport, order them 24 hours beforehand. That way you get a

better rate. Some of those rates are pretty atrocious. They are. As long

as we keep paying them, you know, they will keep offering them. People

still do it. They are cashing in on the fact people have not prepared to

go. Many people are using prepaid credit cards. They are great to

budget. You can fly to Japan with ?1000 and know what you asked

bending. They are safe. If you lose it, if it is stolen, you can get it

back. Watch out for hidden charges on them as well to initiate the

card, to withdraw the maximum fee. Those are the things people get a

nasty surprise about. They get cash out from the ATM. They find they

charge. Can you avoid it? If you are going on holiday regularly, it might

be worth getting a specialist credit card, like Halifax who do them. That

way you do not pay pounds every time you withdraw ten quid, pay for a

coffee. Over a week or two, that can add up. We will talk about the thing

that we have discussed before on this programme. You get to the

checkout, you pay for the restaurant bill. They ask you whether you want

to pay in euros or pounds. Always the local currency. You rose. It is

easy to panic and say surely pounds are better. -- euros. But the rate

they give you is likely terrible. Chances are after a bottle of wine

you will not know the exchange rate anyway that be thank you so much for

that. -- Anyway. Always choose the local currency. Very good advice.

Pubs! We have been talking about them all this morning.

Pubs throughout the UK are calling time permanently at an alarming

rate, but for a few determined communities there is still hope.

There are dozens of community pubs, run and owned by local shareholders

where they not only pull the pints but also call the shots.

Breakfast's John Maguire is at the latest one

in the Derbyshire village of Holbrook.

It is lovely there this morning. It looks really lovely. Good morning.

Where are you? Good morning. You will see me in a second. It is a

beautiful view for the people of Holbrook looking out over the

Derbyshire countryside. They have reopened one of the local pubs in

the village. It is called Spotted Cow. Have a look inside.

The beer and the banter is in full flow in Holbrook.

It was closed down two years ago and marked to be demolished

And then some locals got together to save it.

This was where people met in the village.

It was a good restaurant, it was a good pub.

When it closed, many people stopped going out.

We came and looked at it when we first bought it and thought,

But so many people turned up and help during the weekends

Many hours went into making this happen, actually.

As the project gathered pace, builders, structural engineers,

and carpenters from the village, they were all getting

There are now 51 community pubs across the UK, though the first one

The start-up costs for a is around ?350,000.

The average investment is around ?1000.

Much of the rest of the money is raised through mortgages and loans.

But for those at Holbrook, the survival of the pub may be

With 250 people investing, have a vested interest

There are still some finishing touches, but there is now

Compared to the 30 pubs closing in the UK each year,

the number of these remains very small.

But no community pub closed down last year.

That is proof, then, that they can survive with support.

When you think of a community pub, it is not just a community hall and

a couple of kegs. They are even doing BnB rooms and food. This is

one of the builders. So much of this was your responsibility. How big a

task was it? It is a big task. If you have the right guys, it is

easier. And volunteers? Many. A lot of work went into it. It is good to

see. What does it mean to have this pub back up and running and very

busy as we have seen in the last 24 hours? It is great, it is brilliant,

yeah. Thank you. These are some of the shareholders we have been

talking to this morning that the good morning. How are you? You have

spent enough time in the pub over the last couple of months, haven't

you? You put your money where your mouth was. I think the number of

hours we have put in has been amazing. We did not have the money

to do it any other way. Eight days. It has been busy here. We talked to

Steph in the film about it. Can it survive? Yes. So many of the locals

have said they are pleased it is back. I have been here for decades.

I have never seen community spirit like it. People are coming from

miles away as well to see what it is like and to say how lovely they

think the inside is and how the little areas were together and

stuff. We are pleased with it. You have to make some questions for the

benches. -- cushions. These are the tenants. What is your surname? Brew.

Of course it is. You are the professionals. Decades of

experience. How is it for you? We knew it would be busy, but we have

been overwhelmed by the support for the community and from the

community. People have said the pub feels loved now. Because so many

people have invested in it and will use it, I love it. It is amazing.

People talk about the pub as the hub. Some people are idealistic. But

you know better than most it is a business. How important is it for it

to survive? It has brought people together the blue very much so. It

will be an integral part of the village. -- together. It will help

support other pubs in the area as well. It will bring people to the

village to see that it is a beautiful village. One with three

pubs. Thanks. I know you have been discussing names for pubs. Some

suggestions. I want to hear them. OK. For Dan, an Antipodean themed

bar, Walker About, heard that one? For Louise, just popping down to the

Minsch for a drink. I love the audience are laughing. They had not

heard of before. This is all new material. It looks like a lovely

pub. Thank you very much. I think he is enjoying himself this morning.

What would you call it? Thank you for your suggestions. Thirsty

Walker. And The Leg of Mutton and Cauliflower. The Gym. Then you could

legitimately say you are going to the Or the l Or the library.

Hello, this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

Charlie Gard's parents say they will spend their last precious

moments with their son after ending their legal fight.

They've released this new picture of Charlie.

Great Ormond Street hospital has praised

Good morning, it's Tuesday, 25th July Also this morning?

There has been a sharp rise in new houses being sold leasehold. It

could cost homeowners thousands and hidden costs. The Government says it

must end. I will have the details. A vigil has been held in protest

at the death of a 20-year-old man who died after a police chase

in East London. In sport, it's gold

as he successfully defends his 100m Hello from the UK's 51st community

pub, owned and run by local people. We are in a Derbyshire village. Not

only a pub but there is a cafe too. Lovely. In a moment, in ten minutes

time, we will be joined by two of England's World Cup winning

cricketers on the sofa. And Carol has the weather. A cloudy start for

some of us, patchy drizzle in the east, sunny intervals with just a

few showers across northern Scotland, Wales and south-west

England. More details on 15 minutes. We will put you in 48 15. Thank you.

-- we will put you in for 8:15am. Charlie Gard's parents

say they are preparing to spend their "last precious

moments" with their It comes after they ended

their legal battle to take him In a statement, Great Ormond Street

Hospital where Charlie is on life support said they recognised

the agony, desolation This photograph of Charlie Gard

was released by his parents last night as they accepted

their fight is over. Their fight to send Charlie to the

US for experimental treatment is over. Our son is an absolute warrior

and we could not be proud of him and we will miss him terribly. His body,

heart and soul may soon be gone, but his spirit will live on for eternity

and he will make a difference to people's lives for years to come, we

will make sure of that. Charlie has been in intensive care since

October, he has a rare inherited condition, mitochondrial depletion

syndrome, meaning he cannot move, feed or breathe unaided. His parents

had wanted to send him for therapy in America but judges ruled he

should be allowed to die after Great Ormond Street Hospital argued the

treatment was futile. The case came back to court when this American

neurologist claimed new evidence that his treatment could help. But

that Doctor has now told them it is too late to treat Charlie. A whole

lot of time has been wasted. We are now in July and our poor boy has

been left to just lie in hospital for months. Great Ormond Street

insist earlier treatment would not have saved him. The hospital has

praised the courage of his parents, saying the agony, desolation and

bravery of their decision has humbled all who work there. His

parents will now spend Charlie's last few days by his side.

His picture is on the front page of many newspapers. Elsewhere this

morning... Builders could be banned

from selling leaseholds on new homes in England under plans put forward

by the Government today. You have been looking at this? It

could mean thousands of pounds in extra costs for new homeowners.

Leasehold is something you traditionally associate with flats

and when you buy a flat EU pay a ground rent and service charge for

communal facilities. -- you pay. When you buy a house, traditionally

it would be freehold, you own the land on which it is built. A lot of

house builders now offer houses as leasehold so there could be extra

costs. They may have to pay extra costs to renew the lease, they may

also have to pay a yearly charge and there is no limit on how much can be

charged. Crucially, for things like home improvements, if you want to

add an extension, change the layout, you would have to ask the permission

of the leaseholder and they could charge you for that. This is one of

the big issues the Government wants to look at, it has launched an eight

week consultation and that applies to homes in England, but they want

to look at whether it is fair because this could cost homeowners

thousands of pounds in extra costs. Thank you. We will in a few minutes

speak to the Communities Secretary, Sajid Javid, about some of the

questions raised. Some of the other headlines...

Up to 150 people held a vigil outside a police station

in East London last night in protest over the death of a young black man.

There has been anger in the local community following the death

of 20-year-old Rashan Charles in the early hours

A small number of people threw bottles and sticks

at police after the vigil, but no officers were injured.

The anger and frustration was visible on the

streets of Hackney following the death of 20-year-old Rashan

He died after being apprehended by police on Saturday.

A vigil was held outside Stoke Newington police

During which Rashan Charles's father called for justice.

Basically, I want everybody to be peaceful,

After the vigil, protesters blocked with bins and bags of rubbish.

It was relatively peaceful until the police moved

Then some of the crowd threw bottles, cans and bricks.

It is 2:20 am and the police have finally moved in to clear this road

that has been blocked for the last seven hours.

A lot of local people are shouting things out,

there is clearly a lot of anger here.

But by all accounts, this has been a reasonably

A row has broken out over rail investment after the Government said

it would work with the Mayor of London to progress

It comes after recent announcements cancelling rail electrification

schemes in Wales and the north of England.

We're joined from Westminster by our political correspondent Chris Mason.

This is about where the money is spent? The essence of politics.

Across Wales will open relatively soon. Now talk of Crossrail two

which will run from Hertfordshire to Surrey -- Crossrail will open

relatively soon. But just the other day, the cancellation of some

electrification projects in the Midlands between Kettering, not in

in Sheffield, and in south Wales between Swansea and Cardiff, and in

the Lake District, there are concerns about the slow nature of

improvements on the trans-Pennine route between Liverpool and

Manchester, and on to Leeds and York and Newcastle. The sense from those

who stand up for the north of England, the mayors, the North is

being ignored and London is getting all of that investment. You get a

sense of a coming round, particularly when MPs return to

Westminster in the autumn, tricky for the Government to justify,

sounding positive about London and a few days earlier pulling money out

of the north of England for other projects. They say that it is not

just electrification that matters. Quite a few of the viewers are

worried about the fact you do not have a jacket. People offering to

bring you a jumper. You have the offending garment with you? You know

the challenge of getting up and getting dressed in the dark. This

suit has a massive stain on it which I did not notice when I came to work

this morning. Thankfully, it does not smell too bad, but I thought,

standards and all that, I should not wear it. I am like Phil Collins, no

jacket required. Wonderful. Excellent sniffing live on

breakfast. Too much detail! I know about it after my dress back to

front. Difficult getting dressed in the dark. Very difficult. Could this

be the best job in the world? It is south-west China and the zookeeper

has to dress up as a panda, as you can see. It is because these baby

pandas are going to be released into protective wildlife. Lots of people

saying, I would love to do that job. It does look like a pretty good way

to spend a few hours. We were saying earlier about panda mascots, St

Mirren have a family of panda mascots, but it is not just Paisley

Panda. Say hello to Pandemonium. Fantastic name! Regular visits to

the gym and a solid sleeping pattern. Very well-dressed! Very
