:00:11. > :00:13.New diesel and petrol cars are to be banned from 2040.

:00:14. > :00:16.It's part of a strategy to tackle air pollution but critics say it

:00:17. > :00:44.doesn't go far enough or fast enough.

:00:45. > :00:47.A High Court judge will today decide whether Charlie Gard should be

:00:48. > :00:57.We'll find out later how quickly the economy grew over the last three

:00:58. > :01:02.months, but the figure is expected to be great. What does it mean for

:01:03. > :01:04.all of us? I'll be finding out in this cotton mill in Manchester.

:01:05. > :01:08.In sport, Adam Peaty continues to push the boundaries in a pool.

:01:09. > :01:10.The Olympic champion broke his own world record

:01:11. > :01:12.in the 50m breaststroke twice in one day.

:01:13. > :01:16.Could dogs hold the key to early diagnosis of Parkinson's?

:01:17. > :01:33.After a bright start in the east, the rain already in the west will

:01:34. > :01:36.move east through the day and we will all see it, heaviest in

:01:37. > :01:40.Scotland and Northern Ireland and northern England and it'll be

:01:41. > :01:43.accompanied by blustery winds. Behind it we see a return to

:01:44. > :01:44.sunshine and showers. More in 15 minutes.

:01:45. > :01:53.All sales of new petrol and diesel cars will be banned from 2040

:01:54. > :01:55.as part of efforts to reduce air pollution.

:01:56. > :01:58.The government is also expected to announce more than ?250 million

:02:16. > :02:19.design but for 100 years we've been relying on vehicles with an internal

:02:20. > :02:25.combustion engine burning petrol or diesel, but is that about to change?

:02:26. > :02:28.Several major carmakers including BMW, Volkswagen and Volvo have

:02:29. > :02:33.already announced ambitious plans for electric cars, seen as a keen

:02:34. > :02:37.way to tackle air pollution and now the government is signalling the end

:02:38. > :02:46.of petrol and diesel engines in the UK with a ban on sales by 2040. It's

:02:47. > :02:49.part of a ?3 billion air quality strategy that also includes ?255

:02:50. > :02:53.million to help local authorities cut pollution. It'll mean a ban on

:02:54. > :02:58.sales and production of new petrol or diesel vehicles in the UK as well

:02:59. > :03:03.as a consultation on a diesel scrappage scheme. The move follows a

:03:04. > :03:06.similar pledge earlier this month by President Macron of France where the

:03:07. > :03:12.band will also be introduced in 2040. Campaigners are likely to

:03:13. > :03:16.complain the government hasn't gone far enough or fast enough while

:03:17. > :03:19.Labour is saying nearly 40 million people are living in areas with

:03:20. > :03:24.illegal levels of air pollution and action is needed now and not in 23

:03:25. > :03:29.years time. Holly Hamilton, BBC News.

:03:30. > :03:33.If you have any ideas on that you can send them in.

:03:34. > :03:36.And after half 6am we'll ask a motor industry expert whether the move

:03:37. > :03:38.to all electric vehicles is realistic.

:03:39. > :03:41.A High Court judge will decide today whether Charlie Gard should be

:03:42. > :03:45.allowed to die at home His parents want to take him out of hospital.

:03:46. > :03:48.But lawyers for Great Ormond Street say a hospice would be a more

:03:49. > :03:51.appropriate place for Charlie, given the level of medical

:03:52. > :04:02.The legal battle over Charlie Gard now centres on where and how he

:04:03. > :04:07.spends his final days, perhaps hours. It follows his parents'

:04:08. > :04:10.decision earlier this week to abandon their lengthy legal battle

:04:11. > :04:16.to be allowed to take into America for treatment. Yesterday, Charlie's

:04:17. > :04:20.mum, Connie Yates, returned to court to make it clear she didn't want him

:04:21. > :04:25.to die in the intensive care unit. The parents' lawyer said it was

:04:26. > :04:32.their last wish that Charlie dies at home for a few days of tranquillity

:04:33. > :04:35.outside the hospital setting. Last night they appealed for a paediatric

:04:36. > :04:39.intensive care doctor to come forward who would be willing to help

:04:40. > :04:42.take care of their son but the court heard there were practical issues to

:04:43. > :04:45.be resolved, but for example whether Charlie's ventilator would fit

:04:46. > :04:58.through their front door. In a statement, Great Ormond Street

:04:59. > :05:01.Hospital said: The hospital has offered a compromise, for Charlie to

:05:02. > :05:05.be transferred to a hospice where doctors would supervise his palette

:05:06. > :05:11.of care and death after a period of some hours. But Charlie's parents

:05:12. > :05:13.say they want days, not ours, and a hospice is a second-best option.

:05:14. > :05:15.Alan Clayton, BBC News. The US House of Representatives has

:05:16. > :05:18.voted to impose fresh sanctions on Russia despite President Donald

:05:19. > :05:21.Trump objecting to the legislation. Senior officials will be targeted

:05:22. > :05:23.in retaliation for alleged Russian interference

:05:24. > :05:25.in the 2016 American election. The measures will also see fresh

:05:26. > :05:28.sanctions against North Korea and Iran over ballistic

:05:29. > :05:36.missile tests. Two men have been treated

:05:37. > :05:39.in hospital after a suspected acid attack at Bethnal Green

:05:40. > :05:41.in East London last night. The pair are believed to be

:05:42. > :05:44.in their late teens. Video footage shows one man pouring

:05:45. > :05:48.water over his face and torso while the other is

:05:49. > :05:50.treated by paramedics. No arrests have been made

:05:51. > :05:56.and inquires continue. The judge leading the inquiry

:05:57. > :06:00.into the Grenfell Tower fire has told survivors he would get

:06:01. > :06:03.to the bottom of the tragedy Shouting broke out as residents

:06:04. > :06:07.expressed their anger on what the investigation should

:06:08. > :06:10.cover. This meeting was impassioned,

:06:11. > :06:26.heated, and more than once, the inquiry chair,

:06:27. > :06:28.Sir Martin Moore-Bick, This meeting's broken up

:06:29. > :06:43.after almost three hours of talking. It has been fractious

:06:44. > :06:49.at times emotional too. I think what the inquiry panel

:06:50. > :06:52.can't have failed to take away

:06:53. > :06:53.is the frustration exists, here, and the fact that some

:06:54. > :06:57.people don't have faith in their ability to

:06:58. > :06:59.do the job properly. You know, quite honestly,

:07:00. > :07:03.I don't know why we have an inquiry that the so-called chair,

:07:04. > :07:06.who's a judge, cannot compel We need to see that they

:07:07. > :07:13.are representative, that they are going to understand

:07:14. > :07:16.the pain, the humanitarian issues, because they're all very

:07:17. > :07:19.relevant in this as well. The main reason people

:07:20. > :07:21.are angry is because they're Whether that was the right forum

:07:22. > :07:33.to get the answers is questionable, but the fact is that people

:07:34. > :07:36.are still entitled to them. We will continue to work with them,

:07:37. > :07:42.and hope that by careful preparation and discussion, and so on,

:07:43. > :07:46.we can make them realise that we can give them justice by finding out

:07:47. > :07:49.what the facts really were. Today, there is another meeting,

:07:50. > :07:51.when residents can question But six weeks after this fire,

:07:52. > :07:56.there is little sign of things Dan Johnson, BBC News,

:07:57. > :07:59.north Kensington. One of the Pope's most senior

:08:00. > :08:01.advisors has appeared in an Australian court this morning

:08:02. > :08:04.to face historic charges Cardinal George Pell,

:08:05. > :08:07.who is the Vatican Treasurer, says that he is innocent,

:08:08. > :08:10.and will clear his name. Our correspondent Phil Mercer

:08:11. > :08:26.is outside the magistrates' court Good morning. What can you tell us

:08:27. > :08:30.about what will happen today? Cardinal George Pell, this was his

:08:31. > :08:35.first court appearance since being charged by police in the southern

:08:36. > :08:40.state of Victoria in June. He was escorted into the court a few hours

:08:41. > :08:44.ago by a very heavy police presence. There was an enormous media

:08:45. > :08:49.contingent, I don't think any Australian court in recent times has

:08:50. > :08:53.seen such a media scrum. Difficult for the Cardinal to get in, he

:08:54. > :08:58.didn't say anything on his way into court, the hearing was pretty brief,

:08:59. > :09:02.about five or six minutes. His lawyer did say that Cardinal George

:09:03. > :09:05.Pell would intend to plead not guilty to all of the accusations

:09:06. > :09:10.levelled against him. That media scrum was waiting for him when he

:09:11. > :09:17.tried to blocking part of the road in Melbourne. What happens next is

:09:18. > :09:22.evidence will be given to the lawyers in the next few weeks and he

:09:23. > :09:25.is too back in court in Melbourne in early October. Thanks very much for

:09:26. > :09:28.bringing us up to date from Melbourne. Thank you.

:09:29. > :09:33.More than 500,000 pupils in state schools in England

:09:34. > :09:36.are being taught by unqualified teachers according to Labour.

:09:37. > :09:40.shows the number of teachers without formal qualifications has

:09:41. > :09:43.risen by more than 60% since 2012, a situation which Labour

:09:44. > :09:47.A Department for Education spokesman said the proportion of qualified

:09:48. > :09:51.The number of people over 90 who hold a driving license

:09:52. > :09:54.in Great Britain has topped 100,000 for the first time.

:09:55. > :09:56.That's according to data revealed by the DVLA.

:09:57. > :09:58.Currently drivers aged 70 and over are required to fill

:09:59. > :10:02.in a self-assessment form every three years but some think the law

:10:03. > :10:04.should be changed and they should be re-tested.

:10:05. > :10:22.This woman from Leeds is almost 95 years old. She first learned to

:10:23. > :10:26.drive during the Second World War when she was 17 and 80 years later

:10:27. > :10:30.she has no plans to stop. I think they should give up if they haven't

:10:31. > :10:34.got the confidence. You need plenty of confidence and be very alert and

:10:35. > :10:39.your eyesight has got to be good. Latest figures show the number of

:10:40. > :10:43.people aged 90 or over who hold a driving licence in Great Britain has

:10:44. > :10:49.topped 100,000 for the first time. They are amongst 4.5 million drivers

:10:50. > :10:52.over the age of 70. But a number of incidents over the last few years

:10:53. > :10:58.have given old drivers a bad reputation. Here a 77-year-old man

:10:59. > :11:03.drives the wrong way up the M6. This incident ended with only minor

:11:04. > :11:06.injury but others have been much more serious. At the moment it's

:11:07. > :11:10.down to the driver themselves to assess whether they are safe enough

:11:11. > :11:15.to be on the road. But some feel that's not enough. It's led to a

:11:16. > :11:19.debate over whether all drivers over 70 should be forced to reset their

:11:20. > :11:23.driving test. We've had a look at the data on road collisions and

:11:24. > :11:30.looked at those statistics in depth and we don't think as a cohort all

:11:31. > :11:33.the drivers are any more dangerous than other road users. The

:11:34. > :11:36.Department for Transport says age alone isn't a reliable indicator of

:11:37. > :11:39.driving ability. If there is evidence a driver doesn't meet the

:11:40. > :11:45.appropriate medical standards they're entire, to drive is

:11:46. > :11:47.immediately removed. Louise Fewster, BBC News. -- their entitled to

:11:48. > :11:53.drive. We probably make friends and

:11:54. > :11:55.families jealous with holiday videos but we have some extraordinary ones

:11:58. > :12:00.this footage of the aurora borealis from the International Space Station

:12:01. > :12:03.while it was 250 miles above Earth and travelling at more

:12:04. > :12:05.than 17,000 miles an hour. Jack was clearly impressed

:12:06. > :12:08.with the timelapse shots describing of awesomeness smothered

:12:09. > :12:32.in awesome sauce. I'm not sure about that description!

:12:33. > :12:37.I think that rather do means it. I agree with you. Amazing. Beautiful.

:12:38. > :12:43.If you can't take a good picture from space... Mind you, I probably

:12:44. > :12:50.would do that if I was there, I would have my finger over the lens.

:12:51. > :12:55.I'm going to talk about a burrito of awesome in awesome source. If there

:12:56. > :13:00.is anyway to describe this dude, this is it! He just keeps breaking

:13:01. > :13:04.records! He keeps going faster, we talked about him yesterday morning,

:13:05. > :13:06.as we were walking out of the building he broke another record and

:13:07. > :13:08.later in the day he did it again. Adam Peaty continues to push

:13:09. > :13:11.the boundaries in a pool. The Olympic champion

:13:12. > :13:14.beat his own world record in the 50 metre breaststroke twice in one day,

:13:17. > :13:21.to set an even faster time. Former Olympic long jump champion

:13:22. > :13:24.Greg Rutherford says he's devastated that he'll miss next week's

:14:08. > :14:11.get to be brilliant at swimming and all the things you have to do around

:14:12. > :14:15.your training, I'm going to tell you in about five minutes. I want to

:14:16. > :14:24.know now! You will have to keep watching! It involves 8000 calories

:14:25. > :14:30.a day! If we eight that we would all be in trouble!

:14:31. > :14:34.You are sounding surprised just then.

:14:35. > :14:38.But you were there, so everything is fine!

:14:39. > :14:42.Good morning. Today we've got a bright start in the east, however

:14:43. > :14:46.rain in the west will be steadily moving eastwards as we go through

:14:47. > :14:50.the day. The heaviest will be across Northern Ireland, Scotland and

:14:51. > :14:56.northern England. It is already in the west. If you are travelling this

:14:57. > :14:59.morning bear that in mind. Spray on the roads could lead to tricky

:15:00. > :15:04.travelling conditions. Further east across eastern England, the

:15:05. > :15:09.Midlands, east Anglia, heading south, patchy mist around first

:15:10. > :15:14.thing, but that will clear. It won't stay dry. The rain is on its way.

:15:15. > :15:20.Rain by 7am pushing across south-west England, heading towards

:15:21. > :15:25.Dorset. A wet start for Wales. The rain moving eastwards. Northern

:15:26. > :15:31.Ireland has the rain ensconced across you, but it will drift

:15:32. > :15:37.steadily eastwards, clearing first of all for you. Rain getting on

:15:38. > :15:42.across Scotland. Still dry ahead of it with few showers in the far

:15:43. > :15:46.north. Through the day this lovely start will be eradicated by the rain

:15:47. > :15:52.heading across our shores. Blustery winds around it, strongest in the

:15:53. > :15:56.north, with the lightest in the south, but there could be the odd

:15:57. > :16:01.heavy burst. Then it brightens up, but there will be showers and some

:16:02. > :16:11.of them could be heavy. A little bit of cloud. At dull -- a duller

:16:12. > :16:15.overnight. Overnight there will be dry weather, but further showers

:16:16. > :16:19.coming on across western Scotland and Northern Ireland. Some could be

:16:20. > :16:23.heavy and possibly thundery. Temperatures in towns and cities

:16:24. > :16:29.remaining in double figures. We are dragging the low pressure ever

:16:30. > :16:33.closer to the north-west. Still squeeze in the isobars, so it will

:16:34. > :16:38.be through Thursday, especially in the north-west where we could have

:16:39. > :16:42.coastal gales. Some of the showers will merge and give longer spells of

:16:43. > :16:46.rain and there will be sunshine and showers across the rest of the UK.

:16:47. > :16:51.Temperature wise tomorrow we have a range of 15- 20 Celsius. Then more

:16:52. > :16:55.of the same as the head-on into Thursday and Friday. The low

:16:56. > :17:00.pressure is still close to the north-west of the UK. Still tightly

:17:01. > :17:05.packed isobars. Keep your eye on this chap, it will come your way

:17:06. > :17:09.later. So on Friday we have rain in the north-west, sunshine and showers

:17:10. > :17:13.in many other areas and towards the weekend this is coming our way,

:17:14. > :17:16.starting in the south-west of Wales on Friday.

:17:17. > :17:19.That is not looking fantastic. Thank you. See you in half an hour.

:17:20. > :17:22.You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:17:23. > :17:25.The main stories this morning: Sales of new petrol and diesel cars

:17:26. > :17:30.will be banned from 2040, as part of efforts to reduce air pollution.

:17:31. > :17:33.A fund will also be made available for council schemes

:17:34. > :17:40.A High Court judge will rule today on whether Charlie Gard can be taken

:17:41. > :17:50.home to die, or whether he should be cared for in a hospice.

:17:51. > :17:55.Sally is back with us for a quick look through the papers.

:17:56. > :17:59.Starting with some of the front pages. The Telegraph talks about

:18:00. > :18:06.what we mentioned, the main story about the diesel car ban, to cut

:18:07. > :18:10.pollution. Already some of you sending on questions about that,

:18:11. > :18:14.asking what it means for long distance travel. And the Prime

:18:15. > :18:19.Minister is on holiday. We always seem to do that, have pictures of

:18:20. > :18:25.the Prime Minister on holiday. That shot, a lot of the papers have

:18:26. > :18:29.the same story. Theresa May on the front page of the Mail. You can see

:18:30. > :18:34.what they are saying about what she's wearing. And this story will

:18:35. > :18:41.generate many questions. More questions than answers about this

:18:42. > :18:46.war on diesel, as new petrol and diesel cars will be banned from

:18:47. > :18:51.2040, that sales of new cars. All will be electric.

:18:52. > :18:57.Daniel Craig says he will never played Bond again, guess what?

:18:58. > :19:02.Looks like he will. He said he would rather slash his wrist than take the

:19:03. > :19:12.role again. But it seems he will be James Bond on the 25th film. This is

:19:13. > :19:18.talking about diesel and petrol cars as well, and also Charlie Guard.

:19:19. > :19:22.The Mirror speaks about Charlie as well. The crucial day as the judge

:19:23. > :19:27.will make a decision about where it is that Charlie spent his final

:19:28. > :19:35.days. One more story that makes the front

:19:36. > :19:40.pages. This is about sperm counts having halved for men in the past

:19:41. > :19:44.few years, according to research. Scientists admit the cause of the

:19:45. > :19:48.decline remain unclear, but of course lots of discussion on the

:19:49. > :19:53.paper about what it might mean for the future of humanity.

:19:54. > :19:58.Including environmental conditions, like pollution, which brings us to

:19:59. > :20:01.one of the main stories again. I mentioned I would talk about Adam

:20:02. > :20:05.Peaty who broke his own world record twice yesterday in the 50 metres

:20:06. > :20:11.breast stroke. This is in the Mail. A great piece about how you get to

:20:12. > :20:19.be as fit as Adam Peaty. Is your bicep 15 inches in diameter? Because

:20:20. > :20:23.Adam's is. This is what I was talking about on Monday. Is he doing

:20:24. > :20:29.press ups with his coach? Do you remember in the Olympics he did

:20:30. > :20:33.those clap press ups? You do a press up, break yourself off the ground

:20:34. > :20:39.and clap. He does that all the time. He gets up at 5am, he has 8000

:20:40. > :20:47.calories during winter, he trains and once he has banana, peanut

:20:48. > :20:55.butter, bubbly six bananas -- probably. And he has shoe size 12?

:20:56. > :21:00.That's not dainty! The other thing he does before a race, this is

:21:01. > :21:08.fascinating, is he shaves his whole body, all of the body hair on his

:21:09. > :21:12.chest, legs... Don't we all? Is that what you do in that room! I shared

:21:13. > :21:17.too much. I can't imagine that would make any

:22:03. > :22:05.smugglers, a dog's sense of smell has long been used to help law

:22:06. > :22:08.enforcement to do their jobs. Now a new trial has started to see

:22:09. > :22:12.if it could help doctors diagnose The degenerative condition affects

:22:13. > :22:16.more than 10 million people worldwide, but is often

:22:17. > :22:18.only identified years Breakfast's Tim Muffett went

:22:19. > :22:24.to see the dogs in action. Kiwi is demonstrating

:22:25. > :22:28.a remarkable skill. This is one of our fully trained

:22:29. > :22:32.dogs, and it's looking for cancer Dogs can smell the odour

:22:33. > :22:40.of human disease. But when we have disease

:22:41. > :22:49.or infection, we have a biochemical changing our body and this

:22:50. > :22:51.changes our smell. The ability of dogs to sniff out

:22:52. > :22:54.cancer has been acknowledged for years, but now Kiwi and other

:22:55. > :22:57.medical detection dogs are beginning What we hope to do is to train them

:22:58. > :23:02.to find the odour associated If they can do this,

:23:03. > :23:09.it could revolutionise the way Parkinson's disease

:23:10. > :23:12.is a degenerative neurological Les Milne died in 2015,

:23:13. > :23:18.having had it for 20 years. Parkinson's can cause body tremors

:23:19. > :23:27.and leave sufferers unable to speak or walk, but as there's no

:23:28. > :23:31.diagnostic test in its early stages sufferers often miss out

:23:32. > :23:37.on medication that can help. We didn't understand

:23:38. > :23:38.what was happening. Joy, however, has a highly

:23:39. > :23:41.developed sense of smell. She noticed something different

:23:42. > :23:43.about Les ten years before So I started complaining

:23:44. > :23:49.about his smell. So, what was this smell like,

:23:50. > :23:52.that you could detect I would describe it

:23:53. > :24:03.as a very strong musky smell. After Les's diagnosis,

:24:04. > :24:05.Joy noticed the same smell I said to him, "Those people

:24:06. > :24:10.smell the same as you." He said, "What are

:24:11. > :24:14.you talking about?" I said, "The people who have

:24:15. > :24:17.Parkinson's in the group smell Joy's sense of smell is so strong

:24:18. > :24:21.doctors say it's rarely For dogs, however,

:24:22. > :24:26.it's a different story. Some breeds of dog have more

:24:27. > :24:29.than 200 million scent receptors in their nose, that's compared

:24:30. > :24:33.to around 5 million for a human. Many believe that by harnessing that

:24:34. > :24:36.incredible sense of smell, more medical conditions could be

:24:37. > :24:40.sniffed out earlier. These medical detection dogs live

:24:41. > :24:43.with families and come to the testing centre

:24:44. > :24:47.during the daytime. Backed by the charity Parkinson's

:24:48. > :24:50.UK, swabs from Parkinson's sufferers will be introduced to see

:24:51. > :24:54.if the dogs can identify them. People might present

:24:55. > :24:58.at a neurological clinic, or they might go to casualty,

:24:59. > :25:01.because they have had a fall or because they have had some other

:25:02. > :25:08.event that's not usual for them. And, very rarely, will they think

:25:09. > :25:13.they might have is Parkinson's. But if we can develop an early

:25:14. > :25:16.test, it really improves the patient's well-being

:25:17. > :25:18.if they know what's going on. The research and training

:25:19. > :25:20.will take six months, but 200 years after the condition

:25:21. > :25:23.was identified it's hoped dogs will soon help doctors diagnosed

:25:24. > :25:40.Parkinson's earlier. We talked before about sniffing out

:25:41. > :25:43.cancer. We will be talking a bit more about this later with some of

:25:44. > :25:44.those involved in a research. It is amazing.

:38:52. > :38:58.We were fully aware of and understood the situation when we new

:39:03. > :39:06.thought would happen in a million years and have been really excited

:39:07. > :39:10.by and have benefited from it and I think as a team we've benefited from

:39:11. > :39:12.it. But right now our focus is purely on getting to Ireland and

:39:13. > :39:18.doing well at that World Cup. There's no point being on a

:39:19. > :39:22.full-time contract, sitting in a gym all day and playing six times a

:39:36. > :39:40.competitive. We need to double the number of participants. Its special

:39:58. > :40:03.It's probably started to sing in now, it's been quite a surreal few

:40:04. > :40:08.days. I suppose it's just the buildup really. Come Thursday I'm

:40:09. > :40:12.going to be nervous, as expected, but I think the challenge for me is

:40:13. > :40:13.to replicate what I've been doing for Essex and hopefully do that for

:40:14. > :40:16.England. And Manchester United manager

:40:17. > :40:18.Jose Mourinho says that some clubs are paying far too much

:40:19. > :40:36.for players this summer. We spent a lot of money in the

:40:37. > :40:41.striker, and if you don't do that then we have no striker, that's

:40:42. > :40:46.obvious that nowadays especially for the strikers the amount of money is

:40:47. > :40:50.amazing. Every club is getting players, every club is investing a

:40:51. > :40:54.lot. I think some clubs obviously they are paying too much and by

:40:55. > :40:57.paying too much they create a very strange and out of control market.

:40:58. > :41:08.But this is the reality now. He looks quite grumpy about it but

:41:09. > :41:14.he is right, the numbers this summer have been ridiculous. Talking about

:41:15. > :41:19.Lukaku, ?75 million, it could be nearly ?90 million after you add on

:41:20. > :41:24.the extras. It's a huge sum of money and where does it stop? Wasn't it

:41:25. > :41:29.nice by way of contrast to hear Adam Peaty and his attitude. Delighting

:41:30. > :41:32.in his own ability and showing it off and taking the moment. He

:41:33. > :41:37.referenced his brilliant coach, mall, hear ye has been with since 14

:41:38. > :41:44.and they are a phenomenal team -- who he has been with. -- Mel. It was

:41:45. > :41:46.nice she got a name check. I love his attitude! I would love to swim

:41:47. > :41:48.with him! -- like him! Back to our main story,

:41:49. > :41:51.the government is set to announce plans to ban the sale

:41:52. > :41:54.of all new petrol or diesel cars Electric and hybrid cars made up

:41:55. > :41:59.just 4% of car sales last

:42:00. > :42:00.month so can the UK car industry make such

:42:01. > :42:03.a drastic transformation work? David Bailey is car industry expert

:42:04. > :42:05.at Aston University. He joins us from our

:42:06. > :42:18.Birmingham studio. We have a date and the clock is

:42:19. > :42:22.ticking, a complete ban on all diesel and petrol cars by that

:42:23. > :42:26.point, what do you make of it? It sets a clear direction of travel for

:42:27. > :42:30.the industry, that's a good thing but it's like saying we will ban the

:42:31. > :42:35.steam engine by 2040 because petrols and diesels won't exist by then, we

:42:36. > :42:39.will see a huge transition to electric cars sometime in the mid 20

:42:40. > :42:44.20s so the long-term goal is great but we need more short-term action

:42:45. > :42:49.to get people into electric cars out of diesel cars and these measures

:42:50. > :42:52.are far short of what's needed to clean up urban air quality. Using

:42:53. > :42:57.confident these changes will happen and the market will dictate it

:42:58. > :43:01.sooner -- you seem. Looking at the situation right now there are issues

:43:02. > :43:06.with cost and practicality and the infrastructure. When does the big

:43:07. > :43:10.change start to happen? We are seeing more electric cars on the

:43:11. > :43:15.roads, costs are coming down, range is improving, there will be a

:43:16. > :43:18.tipping point in them it when 20s where the electric car will

:43:19. > :43:22.outcompete the internal combustion engine and at that point we will see

:43:23. > :43:26.the big switchover but even that isn't soon enough and we need to

:43:27. > :43:30.encourage people to get out of diesel cars much more quickly into

:43:31. > :43:35.electric cars given they are increasingly viable. We could do

:43:36. > :43:38.things like having some sort of scrappage scheme or charging diesel

:43:39. > :43:42.cars for going into city centres, these measures stop short of that so

:43:43. > :43:50.long-term, good, short term, not very effective. The phrase you used

:43:51. > :43:54.was outcompeting diesel cars with electric cars, talk about price, one

:43:55. > :43:58.way to encourage people to buy an electric car within the next ten

:43:59. > :44:02.years for example would be to make sure electric cars are cheaper than

:44:03. > :44:06.other cars? At the moment there are subsidies, I just bought my second

:44:07. > :44:10.electric car and I got a subsidy from the government to do that. You

:44:11. > :44:15.are buying an expensive car? That's true, at the moment they are more

:44:16. > :44:20.costly and as the cost come down they will be more competitive. We

:44:21. > :44:25.need subsidies in the short-term to encourage people to switch. The

:44:26. > :44:29.first range of genuinely competitive electric cars are coming through,

:44:30. > :44:33.the Hasler and so on. People for the first time will have a genuine

:44:34. > :44:38.choice about what type of car to drive -- Tesla. We need to support

:44:39. > :44:42.that but at the same time we should be saying, look, we will give you

:44:43. > :44:48.bonuses to get out of an old dirty deeds and into an attractive new car

:44:49. > :44:53.to help speed up the market. What about the practicalities? Lots of

:44:54. > :44:58.people listening may be live in a terraced street and already the

:44:59. > :45:02.sheer practical practical issues of plugging in an electric car remain a

:45:03. > :45:13.major obstacle. What do you think the solution is, paint a picture of

:45:14. > :45:18.a street in 2028? Firstly we need to encourage people to use public

:45:19. > :45:22.transport, secondly as range improves targeting becomes less of

:45:23. > :45:26.an issue so we need to see the big improvement in the charging

:45:27. > :45:30.infrastructure. One year ago I wouldn't have been able to easily

:45:31. > :45:34.find the charging point. But in the future we could see street lights

:45:35. > :45:38.all used for charging points, so they become multifunctional, people

:45:39. > :45:43.could plug into street lights all over the city and we could see more

:45:44. > :45:47.charging infrastructure. It is those sorts of shifts that the government

:45:48. > :45:50.has to encourage in order to get a massive take-up of electric cars

:45:51. > :45:57.more quickly than the market would otherwise dictate. Thank you very

:45:58. > :46:00.much for your time. We will be talking about that

:46:01. > :46:06.throughout the programme. If you have questions, keep sending them

:46:07. > :46:12.into as. Some people say 2040 won't matter because they might not be

:46:13. > :46:17.here then. On a more at the mystic -- optimistic note, what happens to

:46:18. > :46:21.buses and lorries? It is looking great out there this morning.

:46:22. > :46:26.Good morning. We have rain on the way. Some of us have already had the

:46:27. > :46:29.rain and it is heaviest in Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern

:46:30. > :46:33.England through the day. But the whole band is moving across the UK

:46:34. > :46:38.in an eastwards direction. This is what we have already this morning.

:46:39. > :46:42.You can see it in the west and that's where we start with a lot of

:46:43. > :46:48.surface water and spray on the roads. Drift further east and we are

:46:49. > :46:52.back in brighter skies and even sunshine. There is a little bit of

:46:53. > :46:56.mist around this morning, but that will clear readily. Then from the

:46:57. > :47:01.Isle of Wight towards Gloucestershire and Somerset, south

:47:02. > :47:07.England generally, we have the rain. Rain too in Wales. Not strong winds

:47:08. > :47:12.but breezy. In the Northern Ireland the rain continues to move out of

:47:13. > :47:16.Northern Ireland, so it will start to brighten up through the morning

:47:17. > :47:19.in the west. That Rainey is moving into Scotland, where we have creams

:47:20. > :47:25.and yellows it tells you where we have the heaviest rain. -- greens.

:47:26. > :47:28.At head of it it is still bright in the Northern Isles. Not too long

:47:29. > :47:33.before the rain moves to the east. Reaching east Anglia and Kent last.

:47:34. > :47:38.In the south we have lighter rain. In the north the rain will be heavy

:47:39. > :47:43.for a time and as it clears we have this regime of bright spells and

:47:44. > :47:46.sunshine and showers. Some of the showers could be sharp and hanging

:47:47. > :47:50.onto a bit more cloud in the south-east, just behind the rain.

:47:51. > :47:54.Through the evening and overnight a lot of us will have a dry night and

:47:55. > :47:57.it will still be blustery and there will also be quite a few showers

:47:58. > :48:03.coming in across Northern Ireland, but especially Northwest Scotland.

:48:04. > :48:07.Temperatures 11- 15. The reason for the showers is the centre of the low

:48:08. > :48:11.pressure is ever closer to the north-west and you can see from the

:48:12. > :48:14.proximity of the isobars it will also be a windy day, especially so

:48:15. > :48:20.in the north-west. With exposure we could see gales, especially coastal

:48:21. > :48:25.gales. At times they will merge on the north-west and form rain. Away

:48:26. > :48:30.from that it's a day of sunshine and showers. The showers fairly hit and

:48:31. > :48:34.miss. In the sunshine it won't feel too bad. Temperatures are a bit

:48:35. > :48:40.disappointing for the stage in July. Moving into Friday the low pressure

:48:41. > :48:46.centre drifts a little bit further north-west, still tightly packed

:48:47. > :48:50.isobars, so still windy. Friday itself is looking a mixture of

:48:51. > :48:55.sunshine and showers, for the bulk of the UK. If you don't have the

:48:56. > :48:59.sunshine there will be right spells come at the cloudy at times, and

:49:00. > :49:02.showers merging at times in the north-west. Then the rain looks like

:49:03. > :49:08.it will come from the south-west during Friday.

:49:09. > :49:11.It won't be great on Friday. A three much and see you later.

:49:12. > :49:14.Official figures telling us how much the UK economy's been growing over

:49:15. > :49:17.the last three months will be out later.

:49:18. > :49:21.Ben's at the UK's only commercial cotton spinner

:49:22. > :49:29.We are fascinated already. Show us around and tell us what's going on!

:49:30. > :49:36.Good morning and welcome to Manchester. This is fascinating

:49:37. > :49:39.because you think of the history of Manchester and the north-west and

:49:40. > :49:43.you think of cotton and spinning and weaving. This is roughly what it

:49:44. > :49:50.comes in at. It is raw cotton before it has been processed. This is what

:49:51. > :49:54.it comes out as, and they use it in all sorts of things. In industry,

:49:55. > :49:58.including, fabric and textiles all over the country. It is interesting

:49:59. > :50:03.because this place looks pretty modern. A huge investment in new

:50:04. > :50:10.facilities. But it is actually the original 1900 Victorian mill that is

:50:11. > :50:14.being built here. So a sign of optimism in the economy and spending

:50:15. > :50:18.in this region. Andy is the boss. Good morning. Thanks for having us.

:50:19. > :50:23.Looking around here, it's a pretty big investment and you are able to

:50:24. > :50:26.do it in the original mill, with cotton moving back to the

:50:27. > :50:32.north-west. You must be pretty optimistic about the economy? We

:50:33. > :50:36.are. But there's a big resurgence in the UK textile industry. People are

:50:37. > :50:41.really starting to look at what they need, to look for quality and their

:50:42. > :50:44.local business and support their local manufacturing. A lot of risks

:50:45. > :50:52.for the economy, though. We talk about wrecks it, consumer spending

:50:53. > :50:57.slowdown, uncertainty -- talk about Raqqa. Does any of that for you?

:50:58. > :51:01.Most of it gives us hope. When you look at Brexit, most think they have

:51:02. > :51:05.to be able to buy these products in the UK and while we won't bring the

:51:06. > :51:09.textile industry back to the size it was in the 1940s and 50s, we have a

:51:10. > :51:14.resurgence of weavers and knitters and a lot of high street retailers

:51:15. > :51:19.are saying if you spend the money Nate Shaw that money is value for

:51:20. > :51:28.that money. -- make sure. Rank you. I want to introduce you to Mike and

:51:29. > :51:37.Tom. I will find you amongst the weaving mill. Tom, we heard about

:51:38. > :51:42.the confidence in the business, but it's not the case were everyone, is

:51:43. > :51:45.it? Know, and we will find our later this morning how the British economy

:51:46. > :51:48.is doing because we will get a snapshot of the growth in the

:51:49. > :51:52.economy, so-called GDP figures, and there's a lot of focus on this

:51:53. > :51:57.because in the first quarter there was a marked slowdown in growth. The

:51:58. > :52:01.big surprise was last year after the referendum growth was bigger than

:52:02. > :52:04.people expected. At the turn of the year it really slowed down so the

:52:05. > :52:09.second-quarter figures were really important. You are from the

:52:10. > :52:13.Federation of Small Businesses if business is going to feel

:52:14. > :52:18.uncertainty and concerned about the area, small businesses might feel

:52:19. > :52:25.that more than most? More business, according to the latest quarterly

:52:26. > :52:28.index, has shown homefront cost pressures -- small business. So

:52:29. > :52:32.natural living wage, the drop in Stirling for those who are importing

:52:33. > :52:37.goods and it is causing problems. Then we have the problems around the

:52:38. > :52:40.actual rate relief that isn't getting to those businesses that

:52:41. > :52:44.desperately needed. Given all the problems you've outlined, are there

:52:45. > :52:48.any solutions? Most small businesses just get their heads down, get on

:52:49. > :52:53.with doing what they are good at and do their business. I think talking

:52:54. > :53:00.to a local engineer yesterday from my own business, he was saying he is

:53:01. > :53:07.remarkably... INAUDIBLE. A couple of problems with the link. We will be

:53:08. > :53:13.back with Ben later. Intriguing. The place is effectively a modern mill.

:53:14. > :53:17.Was that your picture of a mill? Would have been hundreds of people

:53:18. > :53:24.working in bills across the UK, in the north as well especially,

:53:25. > :53:26.decades ago -- mills. We will talk to Ben later.

:53:27. > :53:29.After a tour as a UN Peacekeeper in Bosnia,

:53:30. > :53:33.Peter Millns returned home carrying memories of the horrors he had

:53:34. > :53:35.witnessed, but also of the friendships he had made,

:53:36. > :53:40.many with children he thought he would never see again.

:53:41. > :53:42.However, almost a quarter of a century later, he received

:53:43. > :53:45.a message from one of the girls he had helped.

:53:46. > :53:49.Our reporter Dave Guest went to meet him.

:53:50. > :53:57.It is more than 20 years since Peter Millns served with UN peacekeepers

:53:58. > :54:03.in Bosnia. But he remembers it as if it were yesterday. Some of the

:54:04. > :54:06.things that people did to each other, as young soldiers we saw

:54:07. > :54:11.that. In particular he remembers the local children who befriended the

:54:12. > :54:17.soldiers. At first, to see uniform in a civil war, they are going to

:54:18. > :54:24.back off, not be engaging with it. But after a bit we had sweets, bags

:54:25. > :54:32.full of sweets and chocolates, and they kept on shouting bom bom. Among

:54:33. > :54:36.them an 80 Roald called Djuldina. He last saw her two decades ago. Then

:54:37. > :54:39.last weekend out of the blue she contacted via Facebook. In this

:54:40. > :54:44.picture she is holding the Teddy Eta gave her all those years ago. What

:54:45. > :54:50.did you think when she got in touch? I first broke down crying. Because

:54:51. > :54:55.we thought she had been either killed or hurt, because when we were

:54:56. > :55:03.there it was quite badly shelled. Today the pair met face-to-face for

:55:04. > :55:11.the first time via Skype. Hi! How are you? Everything is OK. Nice to

:55:12. > :55:17.see you alive. And you! 35 years. My wife sends her love to all of your

:55:18. > :55:21.family and hopes they are fine. I am so glad that you are alive now and

:55:22. > :55:25.that you have family. And you. You've gone on to be a teacher and

:55:26. > :55:30.are doing really well. At the end of their conversation the emotion

:55:31. > :55:39.shows. She is obviously home now and... I've managed to contact her.

:55:40. > :55:43.She still got the bear. And when I spoke to Djuldina it was clear she

:55:44. > :55:48.has never forgotten the kindness of Peter and his comrades. They told us

:55:49. > :55:54.that peace will come soon. They gave us hope, not only chocolates. They

:55:55. > :55:59.were... I do know, they were strangers with different names from

:56:00. > :56:03.different countries, but they were our friends. And you never forgotten

:56:04. > :56:08.it? Never and I will never forget him. The next step is to arrange a

:56:09. > :56:13.visit to meet Djuldina and her family.

:56:14. > :56:20.What a truly wonderful story. Very moving that she still has the

:56:21. > :56:20.teddy bear. You're watching

:56:21. > :56:22.Breakfast from BBC News. Still to come this morning: He's

:00:39. > :00:45.allowed to return home to die. We'll find out later how quickly

:00:46. > :00:52.the economy grew over the last three months, but the figure is not

:00:53. > :00:55.expected to be great. I'm at this cotton mill in

:01:02. > :01:04.to push the boundaries in a pool. The Olympic champion

:01:36. > :01:38.Good morning. All sales of new petrol and diesel

:01:39. > :01:43.cars will be banned from 2040 as part of efforts to

:02:02. > :02:05.of design, but for 100 years we've been relying on vehicles

:02:06. > :02:07.with an internal combustion engine burning petrol or diesel,

:02:08. > :02:13.but is that about to change? Several major carmakers including

:02:14. > :02:16.BMW, Volkswagen and Volvo have already announced ambitious

:02:17. > :02:18.plans for electric cars, seen as a key way to tackle air

:02:19. > :02:22.pollution and now the government is signalling the end of petrol

:02:23. > :02:25.and diesel engines in the UK It's part of a ?3 billion air

:02:26. > :02:36.quality strategy that also includes ?255 million to help local

:02:37. > :02:42.authorities cut pollution. It'll mean a ban on sales

:02:43. > :02:45.and production of new petrol or diesel vehicles in the UK

:02:46. > :02:48.as well as a consultation The move follows a similar

:03:11. > :03:23.car industry expert Professor David Bailey

:03:24. > :03:24.from Aston Business School who told us the government will need

:03:25. > :03:28.to address a number of concerns for these measures to be

:03:38. > :03:40.of travel for the industry, that's a good thing but it's

:03:41. > :03:43.like saying we will ban the steam engine by 2040 because petrol

:03:44. > :03:48.and diesels won't exist by then, in the mid-2020s

:03:49. > :03:51.so the long-term goal is great

:03:52. > :03:55.but we need more short-term action to get people into electric cars out

:03:56. > :03:59.of diesel cars and these measures are far short of what's needed

:04:00. > :04:10.to clean up urban air quality. Jane-Francis Kelly joins

:04:11. > :04:12.us from Oxford Street, one of the most polluted

:04:13. > :04:14.streets in Britain. Jane, does this go far

:04:15. > :04:20.enough, quickly enough? I think environmentalists or some

:04:21. > :04:28.environmentalists will say this doesn't do enough. The Mayor of

:04:29. > :04:33.London Sadiq Khan said Oxford Street is one of one of the worst polluted

:04:34. > :04:38.streets in the world. In January that egg quality was worse than

:04:39. > :04:41.Beijing. Transport for London have introduced more buses that are

:04:42. > :04:47.electrically powered -- egg quality. In October the worst polluting cars

:04:48. > :04:56.will have to pay an extra ten pounds to pay the congestion charge. Many

:04:57. > :05:01.councils want congestion charges in other cities but this isn't being

:05:02. > :05:05.introduced by the government. It says it will consult about car

:05:06. > :05:10.scrappage schemes but that isn't being guaranteed, instead it will

:05:11. > :05:16.encourage councils to improve road layout and reprogram traffic lights

:05:17. > :05:22.so traffic runs more smoothly. But some people might say not enough.

:05:23. > :05:26.Jane-Frances Kelly, thanks very much from a surprisingly quiet Oxford

:05:27. > :05:27.Street at this time in the morning. Thanks very much.

:06:17. > :06:19.doctor to come forward who would be willing to help take care

:08:13. > :08:17.strong winds and I'm trying to speak to you and this is what has

:08:18. > :08:22.happened, it has hampered the treating of the fire because they

:08:23. > :08:26.can't predict the flames. The winds are gusting at very high speeds and

:08:27. > :08:31.they switch from One Direction to the other. It's been a very long

:08:32. > :08:35.night and we are still not out of the woods. I've been hearing from

:08:36. > :08:39.other people on the beach, there's other campsites that haven't been as

:08:40. > :08:45.lucky as us and they have suffered serious damage. What was the first

:08:46. > :08:52.point you realised the gravity of the situation? We were having dinner

:08:53. > :08:59.on a French pitch right on the beach at around 1am. Then we looked up and

:09:00. > :09:08.in the sky but why does we could see huge yellow flames licking into the

:09:09. > :09:12.sky. By 2am they put out an alert and asked us to evacuate all of the

:09:13. > :09:17.pitches and that's when everyone was sent to the beach. There was

:09:18. > :09:22.probably about 3000 people sent to the beach and we have been here ever

:09:23. > :09:26.since. What's the atmosphere among the people? A lot of children will

:09:27. > :09:30.be involved, this is a family campsite, who is with you on the

:09:31. > :09:35.beach and what is the atmosphere like? Last night when we first did

:09:36. > :09:39.the evacuation we opened up our pitch because we were right on the

:09:40. > :09:46.beach to families who had young children and we gave them someone to

:09:47. > :09:52.stay with out of the cold wind. We did T and coffee, that's what the

:09:53. > :09:59.English do in a crisis! -- teas. But everyone now is tired. The sun came

:10:00. > :10:05.up. It will be 31 today. Because of the smoke over the entire sky, the

:10:06. > :10:09.sun isn't as hot as it could be. People are just very tired and we

:10:10. > :10:14.have been told the next hour will be critical, they won't let anybody

:10:15. > :10:17.leave the front of the campsite for the next hour because they think it

:10:18. > :10:22.is critical in the fighting of the fire. They are using these Canada

:10:23. > :10:30.aeroplanes, these incredible planes that scooped up water from the

:10:31. > :10:34.Mediterranean and take it to the hills to extinguish the fire is.

:10:35. > :10:39.They are coming down to the sea in front of us and going to the pool of

:10:40. > :10:44.black smoke -- the fires. Can I ask you in terms of the practicalities,

:10:45. > :10:47.with the safety advice you have been given, there is concern about the

:10:48. > :10:53.smoke and you have been told to be on the beach, that is deemed the

:10:54. > :10:56.safest place? It is because it is a wooded campsite, a beautiful

:10:57. > :11:00.campsite, I have been coming here for 42 years and it's the first time

:11:01. > :11:06.anything like this has happened. It's all pine trees and with the

:11:07. > :11:10.very dry winds we've got, they want everyone on the beach because if the

:11:11. > :11:14.flames catch they could pass through the campsite very quickly. That's

:11:15. > :11:19.why they ask everyone to stay on the beach next to the water. It should

:11:20. > :11:24.hopefully give us some protection. Apologies, the wind is really strong

:11:25. > :11:29.at the moment. To be clear, in terms of damage, there's no damage as yet

:11:30. > :11:34.from the fire where you are to either tents or know people injured

:11:35. > :11:40.at this stage? Not at this campsite but we are hearing reports from

:11:41. > :11:45.other campsites that there have been camps destroyed in the flames. They

:11:46. > :11:49.are further back the other side of the road. There's a road that runs

:11:50. > :11:54.parallel to the seed and the campsite sits one side of it, the

:11:55. > :11:58.campsite the other side which is where the fires have been closer

:11:59. > :12:04.haven't been as lucky. Thanks very much for speaking to us. She is on a

:12:05. > :12:09.campsite very close to where the fires have broken out in the south

:12:10. > :12:13.of France, detailing the scale of the evacuation. She said 3000 people

:12:14. > :12:17.were on the beach with her replicated at a number of campsites

:12:18. > :12:21.on the coast. She talked about the next hour being critical so we will

:12:22. > :12:25.stay with that and keep you up to date because many of you will no

:12:26. > :12:30.people on holiday there as well. She talked about it being a critical

:12:31. > :12:32.situation right now. We will keep you up to date with it through the

:12:33. > :12:37.morning. More than 500,000 pupils

:12:38. > :12:39.in state schools in England are being taught by unqualified

:12:40. > :12:42.teachers according to Labour. shows the number of teachers

:12:43. > :12:46.without formal qualifications has risen by more than 60% since 2012,

:12:47. > :12:49.a situation which Labour A Department for Education spokesman

:12:50. > :12:53.said the proportion of qualified We have all made our friends

:12:54. > :13:06.and families jealous with holiday photos and videos but nothing

:13:07. > :13:09.quite compares to this. Lots of people might be

:13:10. > :13:11.waking up on holiday, sorry if you haven't had a lie in,

:13:12. > :13:14.enjoying themselves taking photos and videos but none

:13:15. > :13:17.are going to beat this! Nasa astronaut Jack Fischer captured

:13:18. > :13:20.this footage of the aurora borealis from the International Space Station

:13:21. > :13:23.while it was 250 miles above Earth and travelling at more

:13:24. > :13:26.than 17,000 miles an hour. He got his camera out

:13:27. > :13:29.and that was the shot! Jack was clearly impressed

:13:30. > :13:31.with the timelapse shots describing of awesomeness smothered in awesome

:13:32. > :13:38.sauce. I'm a fan of burritos but I'm not

:13:39. > :13:42.sure I would call it that! Those are the main stories this morning, more

:13:43. > :13:43.on the sport and Carol will have the weather later on.

:13:44. > :13:46.It's a case that has divided doctors, parents and politicians

:13:47. > :13:49.but yesterday Charlie Gard's parents formally withdrew their legal

:13:50. > :13:51.challenge, accepting that treatment could no longer help.

:13:52. > :13:57.This time to decide where Charlie will spend his final hours.

:13:58. > :14:00.The judge in the case described it as a matter that requires mediation,

:14:01. > :14:04.but how could that help at this late stage?

:14:05. > :14:07.Let's speak now to Director of the Medical Mediation Foundation,

:14:08. > :14:20.Good morning to you, Sarah. We have discussed it for so long now, this

:14:21. > :14:24.case, and once again these parents find themselves in court with once

:14:25. > :14:29.again an incredibly difficult matter to get settled. It seems

:14:30. > :14:40.extraordinary they should have to go back to court to ask to take their

:14:41. > :14:43.son home. The mediation helps people to have conversations that they

:14:44. > :14:49.would otherwise find really difficult to have, all have been

:14:50. > :14:53.avoiding for whatever reason. So a mediator comes in, someone who is

:14:54. > :14:57.independent, to try to support people in this incredibly difficult

:14:58. > :15:01.situations to try to agree a way forward. And in a much less

:15:02. > :15:07.confrontational manner that happens when you go to court. However hard

:15:08. > :15:12.the judges and lawyers will be trying in cases like this to support

:15:13. > :15:15.the parents and support everybody and the health professionals

:15:16. > :15:20.involved through the process, it always feels like a battle. It is

:15:21. > :15:25.described as a battle and essentially at the heart of this, a

:15:26. > :15:29.complex and private dilemma has been played out in the private eye, what

:15:30. > :15:34.mediation allows you to do is to try and have conversations in a way

:15:35. > :15:38.which will allow people to express their positions, for people to

:15:39. > :15:43.understand each other's views and try to arrive at a point they can

:15:44. > :15:48.agree on. At this point it feels like that process won't work, but it

:15:49. > :15:52.is very far down the line perhaps for mediation to be offered at this

:15:53. > :15:56.stage. The judges said they didn't want to rule on this particular

:15:57. > :16:01.issue because at the end of the day everyone is trying to work in the

:16:02. > :16:05.best interests of this young boy and it's so difficult to find a way

:16:06. > :16:10.through, isn't it? Yes. I would say from a own experience that the

:16:11. > :16:14.earlier you get involved as a mediator in really difficult cases

:16:15. > :16:20.like this the better chance you may have of finding a way forward. But

:16:21. > :16:25.we know that mediation doesn't always work, what it can be run

:16:26. > :16:29.along the same lines and at the same time as preparing to go to court,

:16:30. > :16:32.because I think fundamentally mediation is all about trying to

:16:33. > :16:38.maintain the human relationships and so often when you get into

:16:39. > :16:46.situations which do feel like battles, of course there are no

:16:47. > :16:51.winners in this case, what mediation does is a very flexible process, so

:16:52. > :16:57.mediators are running all sorts of different places and ways. You try

:16:58. > :16:59.to keep people focused on the human relationships, on maintaining

:17:00. > :17:03.working relationships and of course on the person who is most important

:17:04. > :17:09.in this case, which is the child themselves. I'm not sure how much

:17:10. > :17:12.you can tell me really, but what are the options open? They bask for a

:17:13. > :17:19.specialist paediatric doctor to assist them -- they've asked. What

:17:20. > :17:22.are the options? I don't know, I haven't been involved in this

:17:23. > :17:27.particular case and I'm sure the hospital will be exploring every

:17:28. > :17:32.possible way that they can try and accommodate the parents' wishes, but

:17:33. > :17:39.at the same time keeping the focus on what is best for this child.

:17:40. > :17:44.Thank you very much for joining us on Breakfast.

:17:45. > :17:53.Time for a look at today's weather. Good morning. We have rain on the

:17:54. > :17:58.cards today. Some of us already have it. The east of the UK is still dry

:17:59. > :18:03.and bright, but rain already in the west. It will move eastwards,

:18:04. > :18:07.eventually clearing from all but the south-east of the Northern Isles by

:18:08. > :18:10.the end of the day. We have the rain steadily moving out of Northern

:18:11. > :18:13.Ireland but it is across western Scotland, Western England and Wales.

:18:14. > :18:19.So a wet start across the south-west of England. The same across Wales.

:18:20. > :18:24.The rain continues to move from the west towards the east. The Northern

:18:25. > :18:27.Ireland, Ray makes progress out of Northern Ireland. It should more or

:18:28. > :18:32.less have cleared by 9am this morning and then it will start to

:18:33. > :18:35.brighten up, I did is making good inroads across Scotland. Apart from

:18:36. > :18:39.the far north where we have brightness and a few showers across

:18:40. > :18:44.the Northern Isles. Meanwhile, north-west England has the rain, the

:18:45. > :18:48.north-east is still dry, as it is in the Midlands, east Anglia and the

:18:49. > :18:52.south-east. The mist we have, only pockets here and there, are

:18:53. > :18:56.clearing. The rain progressing through the Midlands, the Isle of

:18:57. > :18:59.Wight and in the direction of Berkshire as we go through the

:19:00. > :19:05.morning. It makes good progress as it drifts eastwards. The heaviest

:19:06. > :19:09.rain in the north. For much of southern England and Wales it won't

:19:10. > :19:12.be as heavy and as it moves away it brightens up the Hind. We will have

:19:13. > :19:17.some sunshine coming through and showers. Some of them could be

:19:18. > :19:21.Sharp. Cloud hanging on behind the rain in the south-east as it

:19:22. > :19:25.increasingly turns patchy. That moves away overnight and clears from

:19:26. > :19:29.the Northern Ireland is and then it will be mostly dry. However, we will

:19:30. > :19:32.have showers coming in across the north-west of Scotland and a few

:19:33. > :19:37.coming in across Northern Ireland as well. That's because the centre of

:19:38. > :19:40.the low pressure is more or less across this particular areas and if

:19:41. > :19:44.you look at the isobars it is also telling us that it will be fairly

:19:45. > :19:48.blustery again. Stronger winds with exposure across the north-west of

:19:49. > :19:52.the UK, the coastal gales and Gailes with height. Those showers merging

:19:53. > :19:59.at times through the day. Some could be heavy again, with some thunder

:20:00. > :20:03.and maybe hail. But for the rest of the UK we have a mixture of bright

:20:04. > :20:07.spells, sunshine and showers and as is the way with shower was not all

:20:08. > :20:11.of us will see them. Through Thursday and into Friday if anything

:20:12. > :20:15.the low pressure area is dragged further north-west. Still blustery

:20:16. > :20:19.winds around, still a lot of showers in the north-west. Sunshine and

:20:20. > :20:23.showers for the rest of the UK, but we do have rain showing its hand,

:20:24. > :20:28.coming in from the south-west later on.

:20:29. > :20:34.I just want to say rain, rain, go away!

:20:35. > :20:35.NETschool holidays of course -- and it is school holidays.

:20:36. > :20:36.Thank you. From finding bombs to catching drug

:20:37. > :20:39.smugglers, a dog's sense of smell has long been used to help law

:20:40. > :20:43.enforcement to do their jobs. Now a new trial has started to see

:20:44. > :20:46.if it could help doctors diagnose The degenerative condition affects

:20:47. > :20:50.more than 10 million people worldwide, but is often

:20:51. > :20:52.only identified years Breakfast's Tim Muffett went

:20:53. > :20:57.to see the dogs in action. Kiwi is demonstrating

:20:58. > :21:01.a remarkable skill. This is one of our fully trained

:21:02. > :21:05.dogs, and it's looking for cancer Dogs can smell the odour

:21:06. > :21:09.of human disease. But when we have a disease

:21:10. > :21:19.or infection, we have a biochemical change in our body and this

:21:20. > :21:22.changes our smell. The ability of dogs to sniff out

:21:23. > :21:25.cancer has been acknowledged for years, but now Kiwi and other

:21:26. > :21:28.medical detection dogs are beginning What we hope to do is to train them

:21:29. > :21:33.to find the odour associated If they can do this,

:21:34. > :21:38.it could revolutionise the way Parkinson's disease

:21:39. > :21:44.is a degenerative neurological Les Milne died in 2015,

:21:45. > :21:48.having had it for 20 years. Parkinson's can cause body tremors

:21:49. > :21:57.and leave sufferers unable to speak or walk, but, as there's no

:21:58. > :22:00.diagnostic test, in its early stages sufferers often miss out

:22:01. > :22:07.on medication that can help. We didn't understand

:22:08. > :22:09.what was happening. Joy, however, has a highly

:22:10. > :22:11.developed sense of smell. She noticed something different

:22:12. > :22:15.about Les ten years before So I started complaining

:22:16. > :22:23.about his smell. So, what was this smell like,

:22:24. > :22:27.that you could detect I would describe it

:22:28. > :22:30.as a very strong musky smell. After Les's diagnosis,

:22:31. > :22:33.Joy noticed the same smell I said to him, "Those people

:22:34. > :22:37.smell the same as you." He said, "What are

:22:38. > :22:39.you talking about?" I said, "The people who have

:22:40. > :22:42.Parkinson's in the group smell Joy's sense of smell is so strong

:22:43. > :22:52.doctors say it's rarely For dogs, however,

:22:53. > :22:55.it's a different story. Some breeds of dog have more

:22:56. > :22:59.than 200 million scent receptors in their nose, that's compared

:23:00. > :23:03.to around 5 million for a human. Many believe that by harnessing that

:23:04. > :23:07.incredible sense of smell, more medical conditions could be

:23:08. > :23:11.sniffed out earlier. These medical detection dogs live

:23:12. > :23:14.with families and come to the testing centre

:23:15. > :23:18.during the daytime. Backed by the charity Parkinson's

:23:19. > :23:21.UK, swabs from Parkinson's sufferers will be introduced to see

:23:22. > :23:25.if the dogs can identify them. People might present

:23:26. > :23:26.at a neurological clinic, or they might go to casualty,

:23:27. > :23:30.because they have had a fall or because they have had some other

:23:31. > :23:35.event that's not usual for them. And, very rarely, will they think

:23:36. > :23:38.they might have is Parkinson's. But if we can develop an early

:23:39. > :23:41.test, it really improves the patient's well-being

:23:42. > :23:49.if they know what's going on. The research and training

:23:50. > :23:52.will take six months, but 200 years after the condition

:23:53. > :23:55.was identified it's hoped dogs will soon help doctors diagnosed

:23:56. > :24:04.Parkinson's earlier. Dr Beckie Port from

:24:05. > :24:14.Parkinsons UK joins us now. It is wonderful to see those dogs in

:24:15. > :24:19.action. How important do you think this could be? At the minute we have

:24:20. > :24:25.no definitive diagnostic test for Parkinson's, so it's very difficult

:24:26. > :24:29.to diagnose and often we hear about stories where people wait months and

:24:30. > :24:33.maybe even longer, or they were misdiagnosed to start off with. The

:24:34. > :24:40.diagnosis is a real issue for many people. And it is also one of the

:24:41. > :24:44.reasons why we haven't developed any treatments that slow or stop the

:24:45. > :24:49.condition because we just can't find out who has got it early enough, so

:24:50. > :24:54.we are looking for treatment that might be able to save those brain

:24:55. > :24:57.cells that are being lost. One of the best ways to find new treatments

:24:58. > :25:02.would be to diagnose people at the earliest possible stage. Fascinating

:25:03. > :25:07.hearing from Joy, who described that smell. She detected in her own

:25:08. > :25:12.husband and then spelt the same thing in other Parkinson's

:25:13. > :25:16.sufferers. But what point does that become almost anecdotal? She knows

:25:17. > :25:19.it because it is what happened, but at what point does that become

:25:20. > :25:24.almost anecdotal, where people think that's happening but then when it

:25:25. > :25:32.can become part of science? She went to an event and after the event

:25:33. > :25:38.finished this researcher asked her to smell 12 different shirts. Six of

:25:39. > :25:41.them had been warned by people with Parkinson's and six by people who

:25:42. > :25:46.didn't have the condition and she smelt them and got all but one

:25:47. > :25:51.right, being able to tell who had Parkinson's and who didn't, and the

:25:52. > :25:54.one who she got wrong she was adamant the person had Parkinson's

:25:55. > :25:59.and they were diagnosed within a few months. It is just staggering. So

:26:00. > :26:03.much that we don't know with life that could help us. For people who

:26:04. > :26:09.go on to have it, how much difference would it make to know? We

:26:10. > :26:12.talked a bit about it, but to knowing and to their treatment? At

:26:13. > :26:18.the minute we don't have any drugs that slow down Parkinson's, so

:26:19. > :26:22.treatment may not change if you are diagnosed earlier, but it's all

:26:23. > :26:28.about the stress of not knowing what condition you have, so it's

:26:29. > :26:35.definitely not useful waiting so long for a diagnosis. But it really

:26:36. > :26:40.could help with developing new treatments that we desperately need

:26:41. > :26:43.from the condition. So we can start tackling this and saving those brain

:26:44. > :26:52.cells. They give very much for talking to us.

:26:53. > :30:13.This is Breakfast. We will have more on those fires in the south

:30:14. > :30:15.Plenty more on our website at the usual address.

:30:16. > :30:26.with Charlie Stayt and Louise Minchin.

:30:27. > :30:30.All sales of new petrol and diesel cars will be banned from 2040

:30:31. > :30:33.as part of efforts to reduce air pollution.

:30:34. > :30:37.The government is expected to announce a fund of ?255 million

:30:38. > :30:39.to help local councils speed up efforts to combat emissions

:30:40. > :30:45.And there'll be consultations on a possible scrappage scheme,

:30:46. > :30:48.although the Treasury is said to be resisting this idea.

:30:49. > :30:50.Critics say the plans do not go far enough,

:30:51. > :30:58.Earlier, we spoke to car industry expert,

:30:59. > :31:00.Professor David Bailey from Aston Business School,

:31:01. > :31:03.who told us the government will need to address a number of concerns

:31:04. > :31:09.for these measures to be implemented effectively.

:31:10. > :31:12.I think it sets a very clear direction of travel

:31:13. > :31:16.for the industry, that's a good thing, but it's like saying

:31:17. > :31:18.we'll ban the steam engine by 2040

:31:19. > :31:20.because petrol and diesels won't exist by then,

:32:56. > :32:58.forward so he can spend his final hours at home.

:34:20. > :34:22.were continuing to talk about that, where will the electricity come

:34:23. > :34:30.from? There are endless questions. What about big vehicles, HGVs, do we

:34:31. > :34:33.have the technology to allow electric power to drive those

:34:34. > :34:37.vehicles as well? Lots more of those questions coming up but now Sally is

:34:38. > :34:42.here. We will talk about pollution free transport in a minute, cycling,

:34:43. > :34:48.your favourite, no diesel there. What drives you to cycle, what are

:34:49. > :34:50.the benefits of cycling, what puts you off? Do you want me to start? It

:35:07. > :35:10.and I thought it was going to be Coming out there tonight I was a bit

:35:11. > :35:14.down because it's been such an emotional few days but I thought,

:35:15. > :35:18.right, get up for it and do what I do and Mel said don't waste

:35:19. > :35:22.an opportunity because you don't know when is going to be your last

:36:24. > :36:25.Tom Westley in the side, who comes in to replace

:36:26. > :36:28.the injured Gary Ballance. Westley will be making his England

:36:29. > :36:31.debut at the age of 28. It's probably started to sink

:36:32. > :36:34.in now, it's been quite I suppose it's just

:36:35. > :36:37.the build-up really. Come Thursday I'm going to be

:36:38. > :36:39.nervous, as expected, but I think the challenge for me

:36:40. > :36:43.is to replicate what I've been doing for Essex and hopefully

:36:44. > :36:52.do that for England. And Manchester United manager

:36:53. > :36:55.Jose Mourinho says that some clubs are paying far too much

:36:56. > :36:57.for players this summer. We spent a lot of money

:36:58. > :37:04.in the striker, and if you don't do that then we have no striker,

:37:05. > :37:07.that's obvious that nowadays especially for the strikers

:37:08. > :37:19.the amount of money is amazing. Every club is getting players,

:37:20. > :37:22.every club is investing a lot. I think some clubs obviously

:37:23. > :37:25.they are paying too much and by paying too much they create

:37:26. > :37:28.a very strange and out She was a huge part

:37:29. > :37:39.of Great Britain's cycling success but now double Olympic champion

:37:40. > :37:42.Joanna Rowell Shand is encouraging The number of female cyclists

:37:43. > :37:47.in the UK has shot up by over It puts British Cycling on track

:37:48. > :37:54.to reach its target to get one million

:37:55. > :38:04.women cycling by 2020. Good morning. We're not just talking

:38:05. > :38:09.about your type of cycling because your type is the top of the game,

:38:10. > :38:13.the most challenging competitive cycling, you mean normal people

:38:14. > :38:18.getting on their bikes? We mean everybody, anyone that wants to ride

:38:19. > :38:23.a bike that feels a bit nervous, any level, from the grassroots to people

:38:24. > :38:27.riding to the shops to going on cafe social rides to the end of the

:38:28. > :38:32.sport, getting more women with any ability happy and confident to get

:38:33. > :38:36.on their bikes. You say happy and confident and I know you lead out

:38:37. > :38:43.bike rides for women, why are they scared and don't want to do it? I'm

:38:44. > :38:52.part of the Breeze network, part of an initiative to get women on bike

:38:53. > :38:56.s, things that come up quite a lot are roadside geek, that comes up all

:38:57. > :39:00.the time, fear of riding in a group comes up a lot, people feel by

:39:01. > :39:06.themselves they are OK but in a group what if they can't keep up or

:39:07. > :39:10.are a bit wobbly? Also bike mechanics comes up, what if I get a

:39:11. > :39:15.puncture or can't change the inner tube or something happens, how do I

:39:16. > :39:20.deal with that? If you're in a group situation, what if they have to wait

:39:21. > :39:26.and if I'm too slow? Those are the most common things that come up that

:39:27. > :39:30.I here. It is a success story about the numbers, are these people who

:39:31. > :39:35.have never cycled before or is it people who used to cycle a bit and

:39:36. > :39:42.for whatever reason it slipped out of their routine? It varies, the

:39:43. > :39:49.figure British Cycling comes from is members, coaches, leaders, women

:39:50. > :39:53.joining for fun as a 1-off. It is a variety of people that may have

:39:54. > :39:57.cycled before but then stopped or brand-new. I'm going to be honest

:39:58. > :40:05.and say the thing that has put me off, because I did it a lot, the

:40:06. > :40:10.thing that puts me off is the faf. If you're going somewhere, you have

:40:11. > :40:14.to change your shoes, you get a bit sweaty. Where are you going? If I

:40:15. > :40:19.was going to go to the supermarket with a basket to bring my shopping

:40:20. > :40:27.back or to meet a friend for some lunch, it's the faf. What clothes I

:40:28. > :40:31.going to wear, what if it rains? I get that and it comes with people

:40:32. > :40:34.riding to work and they say they don't want to turn up looking

:40:35. > :40:40.sweaty. I get that, I understand that. That's down to employers to

:40:41. > :40:44.provide changing facilities, showers, lockers, secure bike

:40:45. > :40:47.parking, that comes up a lot. In terms of riding to the shops or to

:40:48. > :40:52.meet your friends, there's kit you can buy that is more feminine and

:40:53. > :40:58.normal looking. I would look for that sort of thing. There's always a

:40:59. > :41:02.retail opportunity! You can do that. If it rains... I admit, no one likes

:41:03. > :41:08.riding their bike in the rain but if you get the right kit then it's not

:41:09. > :41:10.so bad. I get that but when it comes to commuting there's a

:41:11. > :41:14.responsibility from employers to provide better facilities for

:41:15. > :41:19.everybody. One last question, we were talking about diesel and petrol

:41:20. > :41:24.cars being banned by 2040, how you feel about cycling on polluted

:41:25. > :41:27.roads, does that affect you and concerned people you are cycling

:41:28. > :41:33.with? It isn't something that comes up a lot -- concern. Most people are

:41:34. > :41:37.aware if they cycle then they are doing their bit for the environment

:41:38. > :41:41.and it helps reduce pollution and congestion and everyone is keen to

:41:42. > :41:44.improve that so that's a good thing. You mentioned group riding and

:41:45. > :41:49.people concerned they wouldn't keep up if they had a puncture, what

:41:50. > :41:54.would you say to that? Don't worry! If you find a local network like the

:41:55. > :42:00.Breeze ones I do we will wait for everyone. Cycling clubs, even though

:42:01. > :42:05.they are male dominated, they are friendly and they will wait for you.

:42:06. > :42:10.Find a women's only group if you can but cyclists are a friendly bunch

:42:11. > :42:13.and we include everyone and if you can't repair your puncture then

:42:14. > :42:18.someone else will do it for you. You don't have to go and wear lycra on a

:42:19. > :42:25.bike ride? I have seen Charlie on his bike. The best thing about it is

:42:26. > :42:30.cyclists normally like to stop for a tea and some cake! Lovely to see you

:42:31. > :42:33.this morning! Thanks very much. We'll find out how much the economy

:42:34. > :42:37.grew in the last three months today. Ben's at the UK's only

:42:38. > :42:39.commercial cotton spinner in Greater Manchester,

:42:40. > :42:41.weaving his way through what businesses and consumers

:42:42. > :42:50.think about the future. Show us around, it looks fantastic?

:42:51. > :42:54.So interesting down here this morning. Earlier we were upstairs

:42:55. > :43:00.where they do some of the weaving, here you can see the brilliantly

:43:01. > :43:04.named blender mat, it comes in from California and this big machine

:43:05. > :43:10.plucks stuff off the top, the bits of cotton, and they start their

:43:11. > :43:14.process from here. They blend the different colours, strengths and the

:43:15. > :43:19.righties of cotton to make one yarn. It might look chunky here but come

:43:20. > :43:23.with me over this side and I will show you how it ends up, this is

:43:24. > :43:27.wonderful, looks like it should be really heavy but have a look at

:43:28. > :43:32.this. Look at that. This is the start of the process and you can see

:43:33. > :43:36.how fine it is. I'm covered in this stuff this morning! We are talking

:43:37. > :43:40.about GDP figures, we get the growth figures for the three months between

:43:41. > :43:45.April and June to tell us what the economy has done and how it is

:43:46. > :43:49.going. Business here is optimistic, they've spent money investing in

:43:50. > :43:57.this place. It was built in 1900, derelict since the 80s but it is up

:43:58. > :44:00.and running as the UK's only cotton mill. Andy is the boss, good

:44:01. > :44:04.morning. You are confident about the economy, given what we have heard

:44:05. > :44:07.about Brexit and uncertainty and the future, you have spent a lot of

:44:08. > :44:12.money and you're confident it will pay off? ?5.6 million of confidence!

:44:13. > :44:16.With Brexit and the uncertainty, everyone is starting to think we

:44:17. > :44:20.need to look after ourselves and bring back textile manufacturing and

:44:21. > :44:24.this investment really helps that, it helps the textile industry bring

:44:25. > :44:28.back its heartland. What do your customers tell you about what they

:44:29. > :44:32.are thinking about the economy, you only do well if they do well? The

:44:33. > :44:36.high-street are doing marketing campaigns today to say if you're

:44:37. > :44:40.going to spend money then spend it wisely, look for the value and the

:44:41. > :44:45.quality in the product. Something that will last and something that

:44:46. > :44:49.belongs to the UK. Wonderful that textiles are back in Manchester! Let

:44:50. > :44:54.me introduce you to Tom and Mike, Tom is from Fidelity International

:44:55. > :44:59.and Mike is from the Association of small business. You heard about Andy

:45:00. > :45:03.being optimistic but it isn't the same fall businesses, there is

:45:04. > :45:08.uncertainty around? There is and we get a feel for it later today when

:45:09. > :45:15.we get a snapshot of the growth in the UK economy in the second quarter

:45:16. > :45:20.from April to June, the GDP figures. A lot of focus on those because at

:45:21. > :45:23.the start of the year we saw a marked slowdown in the economy. The

:45:24. > :45:26.cost of living is growing faster than household earnings and that is

:45:27. > :45:29.freezing spending power. That determines the end the mind for this

:45:30. > :45:34.wonderful cotton. Mike, from a small business point of view, it is easy

:45:35. > :45:40.to suggest big business can weather a downturn and weather any storm,

:45:41. > :45:45.small businesses will find it tough? They are and the SSP's last index

:45:46. > :45:51.showed a distinct loss in confidence. There are increased cost

:45:52. > :45:56.pressures, whether that be the national living wage, rate increases

:45:57. > :46:00.and all of these things are holding back investment and job creation.

:46:01. > :46:06.What do you want to see change? What would help small business? With got

:46:07. > :46:10.to make sure that confidence is restored. Cost pressures are

:46:11. > :46:15.certainly reduced and it would make sure the investment is there, which

:46:16. > :46:20.would mean the access to finance is there. We need to make sure business

:46:21. > :46:25.is returned to what we have seen a couple of years back. At the moment

:46:26. > :46:28.we aren't seeing Matt there is concern around what Brexit will mean

:46:29. > :46:33.once we reach the end of the negotiations. Back so much. We will

:46:34. > :46:37.be here for the rest of the morning. I will show you around the rest of

:46:38. > :46:45.this place because it is fascinating. We are covered in

:46:46. > :46:49.cotton this morning. A great success story, getting the textiles back

:46:50. > :46:54.here in the north-west. The camera is focusing on... Is that

:46:55. > :47:01.being pulled up into the machinery or coiled down?

:47:02. > :47:05.This is basically from the raw material that you saw earlier, this

:47:06. > :47:13.is what they blend it to. So this is basically the young before it starts

:47:14. > :47:17.getting spun out. After this it becomes a twisted yarn, which is

:47:18. > :47:27.when it becomes the fine thread. Thank you very much. See you later.

:47:28. > :47:28.It is wonderfully serene there as well, for some reason.

:47:29. > :47:30.You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:47:31. > :47:33.The main stories this morning: Sales of new petrol and diesel cars

:47:34. > :47:45.will be banned from 2040, as part of efforts to reduce air pollution.

:47:46. > :47:47.10,000 people including British holidaymakers have been evacuated

:47:48. > :47:53.as huge wildfires break out in the south of France.

:47:54. > :48:02.What's going on here? We've got rain, which I am sure they

:48:03. > :48:07.would be pleased to get in the south of France. If anything where we have

:48:08. > :48:11.the fires temperatures will rise as we head into the weekend. A lot of

:48:12. > :48:15.dry weather. Temperatures rising by five degrees above average. Not a

:48:16. > :48:20.good situation. We have rain coming in from the west. It will be pushing

:48:21. > :48:24.eastwards and clearing. That's for most of us, after a dry and bright

:48:25. > :48:30.start. You can see that nicely on the satellite picture. Some cloud in

:48:31. > :48:34.the east. We've got the rain towards the west and that rain will carry on

:48:35. > :48:38.moving eastwards through the day. Is clearing from Northern Ireland where

:48:39. > :48:41.it will brighten up. The heaviest rain in northern England and

:48:42. > :48:46.Scotland, accompanied by blustery winds. The rain lighter and more

:48:47. > :48:49.patchy as it arrives later in the day across the south-east and east

:48:50. > :48:53.Anglia. It will linger in the Northern Isles through the day. The

:48:54. > :48:56.rest of Scotland has bright spells, sunshine and showers and as we come

:48:57. > :49:02.across northern England it is brightening up nicely from the west,

:49:03. > :49:06.with a few showers. The east Anglia and a six, Kent, the Midlands and

:49:07. > :49:10.towards the Isle of Wight, heading towards Hampshire, there will be

:49:11. > :49:14.more cloud and patchy rain through the afternoon. A sunny afternoon in

:49:15. > :49:21.south-west England. Not especially warm. For Wales brightening up

:49:22. > :49:25.behind the rain with sunshine. You might catch the odd shower. Showers

:49:26. > :49:30.in Northern Ireland more likely and again we have bright spells. In

:49:31. > :49:33.between we have sunshine and some of the showers will be happy. Through

:49:34. > :49:37.the evening and overnight eventually the rate moves away from the

:49:38. > :49:40.Northern Isles. We have dry weather and showers. As low pressure pools

:49:41. > :49:45.close to the north-west of the UK, we have heavy showers across

:49:46. > :49:50.northern and western Scotland and Northern Ireland if you look at the

:49:51. > :49:54.spacing on the isobars, once again it is tightly packed, so it will be

:49:55. > :50:02.a fairly blustery night. Blustery day as well. Coast and hills, we are

:50:03. > :50:06.likely to have cost is touching gale force. Some of the showers will

:50:07. > :50:13.merge, but away from that we have dry weather, bright spells and

:50:14. > :50:19.showers. Not all of us will catch a shower. At best we have 20 Celsius.

:50:20. > :50:25.That's a wee bit disappointing for the time of year, especially if you

:50:26. > :50:28.are on holiday. Into the weekend we have the low pressure close by for

:50:29. > :50:34.Thursday and Friday. They're looking further north-westwards we still

:50:35. > :50:41.have a lot of showers. Some of them merging across north-west Scotland

:50:42. > :50:44.and Northern Ireland. Then we have the band of rain coming in from the

:50:45. > :50:49.south-west. The positioning of this keeps changing, so do keep in touch

:50:50. > :50:53.with the weather forecast if you have outdoor plans during the course

:50:54. > :50:55.of Friday and Saturday. Thank you.

:50:56. > :51:00.From September, working parents in England will be able to claim 30

:51:01. > :51:02.hours free childcare for three and four-year-olds,

:51:03. > :51:06.But while this might be welcomed by families,

:51:07. > :51:08.some nurseries say the financial pressure of providing additional

:51:09. > :51:11.free hours could put them out of business.

:51:12. > :51:17.We visited a nursery to see what parents thought.

:51:18. > :51:25.As of September, every child can get 30 hours free. How it will affect

:51:26. > :51:29.us, I'm not sure at the moment. For most working parents it would be

:51:30. > :51:33.very welcome but for childcare providers it will actually be a

:51:34. > :51:36.massive cost. You talk to different people, everyone tells you different

:51:37. > :51:40.things they are doing and it is taking a long time for them to let

:51:41. > :51:44.us know how they are hoping to do it. It is underfunded by the

:51:45. > :51:49.government, yet at the same time nurseries are facing increases to

:51:50. > :51:53.the minimum wage, increased pension contributions and a really high

:51:54. > :51:59.demand for high-quality childcare. Some of the apostle -- possible

:52:00. > :52:06.effects will be flexibility in what we offer, the ability to employ

:52:07. > :52:10.high-quality staff and the general quality of the childcare. We don't

:52:11. > :52:14.know how many parents are eligible at the moment but we will offer the

:52:15. > :52:19.30 hours finding, but with an additional charge to parents. If

:52:20. > :52:24.parents choose to pay that we will be able to offer the 30 hours. It is

:52:25. > :52:33.interesting they are considering a voluntary charge. We are joined by a

:52:34. > :52:36.London studio. Niall is the chief executive of the preschool learning

:52:37. > :52:41.alliance, which runs childcare centres and represents providers in

:52:42. > :52:45.England. Good morning both. Niall, we are hearing reports of some

:52:46. > :52:49.nurseries having to close because they are having to provide this

:52:50. > :52:57.extra childcare. Have you seen that reflected? Sadly that is

:52:58. > :53:03.increasingly the case. I have telephone calls and little is done

:53:04. > :53:07.by -- letters from people who have been in business for up to 40 years

:53:08. > :53:11.and they think this is the last straw. Yesterday a letter arrived, a

:53:12. > :53:15.nursery in a rural community that has been there for 27 years and it

:53:16. > :53:21.had to close because they couldn't make the finding work. They consider

:53:22. > :53:25.the 30 hours to be the nail in the Coughlan. Do you want to give us the

:53:26. > :53:29.basic explain as to why they can't carry on? They say the money will be

:53:30. > :53:35.available at it can't be spread as widely to cover the hours. Is that

:53:36. > :53:41.the simple equation? The first thing to recognise is there's no such as

:53:42. > :53:45.free childcare. The 15 hours three and four -year-olds are entitled to

:53:46. > :53:51.is subsidised. It is funded by those who take additional powers and those

:53:52. > :53:55.who take a greater loss or greater reduction in profits. So there's no

:53:56. > :53:59.such thing as a free off. So if all of a sudden you the number of hours,

:54:00. > :54:04.effectively you exacerbate the problem. You remove the ability to

:54:05. > :54:11.subsidise and that's why providers will struggle. So the government is

:54:12. > :54:15.saying there is an additional ?1 billion a year to pay for the free

:54:16. > :54:22.offer, raising the total hourly funding rate to local authorities to

:54:23. > :54:28.?4 94 and now. Ultimately these figures are what it comes down to.

:54:29. > :54:35.Is that enough money or not? All of our member councils, and I hear the

:54:36. > :54:40.same nurseries saying the same thing, saying that money is the same

:54:41. > :54:46.thing. Children benefit from spending time in childcare and I

:54:47. > :54:51.know as a parent myself that the cost of early years childcare can be

:54:52. > :54:54.crippling. So we shouldn't write the scheme. However, it is underfunded

:54:55. > :54:58.and there isn't enough local flexibility for councils and nurses

:54:59. > :55:02.to implement the scheme as the people who know the area is best to

:55:03. > :55:07.see fit. How other going to do that the money isn't there? That's a real

:55:08. > :55:10.issue and we welcome the extra money that is coming. There simply isn't

:55:11. > :55:15.enough money yet in the system to make this really work. What we've

:55:16. > :55:20.seen are some trials of how this scheme will work and it is putting

:55:21. > :55:25.real pressure on nurseries, schools that are putting into their own

:55:26. > :55:32.nurseries, and the big thing councils need is more flexible it.

:55:33. > :55:36.If I am reading this correctly, come September actually the situation of

:55:37. > :55:40.people needing childcare could get worse, if it is true that so many

:55:41. > :55:45.people are closing. Clearly that's worse than having some care? The

:55:46. > :55:48.reality is that there will be a lot of disappointed parents turning up

:55:49. > :55:53.at nurseries and childminders asking for their extended hours and they

:55:54. > :55:57.won't be available. They will have providers that will limit the number

:55:58. > :56:02.of places. We are in a chaotic situation. In the last four years

:56:03. > :56:05.with lost 10,000 childminders. Here we are looking to expand the

:56:06. > :56:10.programme. We have a workforce problem, a funding problem. Sorry to

:56:11. > :56:15.interrupt. Can you put a number on it? The Department for Education say

:56:16. > :56:20.they are putting in ?1 billion. To be clear, that ?1 billion isn't

:56:21. > :56:27.extra money going to providers, ?300 million is what they put in. What's

:56:28. > :56:36.the number? About 30% more than what we get now, which is a ?4.38, not

:56:37. > :56:40.?4.94. Thank you both very much. This is what happening in England

:56:41. > :56:44.and Scotland. All three and four -year-olds are entitled to receive

:56:45. > :56:47.up to 600 three hours of early learning and childcare and that's

:56:48. > :56:49.been extended to some two -year-olds as well.

:56:50. > :00:08.Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

:00:09. > :00:10.Plenty more on our website at the usual address.

:01:12. > :01:14.first three months of this year. Figures are not expected to be

:01:15. > :01:18.great. So what does it mean for all of us? What does it mean for the

:01:39. > :01:42.in the east, the rain already in the west is going to push eastwards

:01:43. > :01:46.during the course of the day. The heaviest of rain will be across

:01:47. > :01:49.Scotland and northern England, but as it clears, we will see a return

:01:50. > :01:51.to bright spells, sunshine and blustery showers. I'll have more on

:01:52. > :01:55.that in 15 minutes. Thank you. Good morning.

:01:56. > :01:56.First, our main story. All sales of new petrol

:01:57. > :01:59.and diesel cars will be banned from 2040 as part of efforts

:02:00. > :02:01.to reduce air pollution. The Government is also expected

:02:07. > :02:15.in a 1908 Model T. We've come a long way in terms

:02:16. > :02:18.of design, but for 100 years we've been relying on vehicles

:02:19. > :02:21.with an internal combustion engine burning petrol or diesel,

:02:22. > :02:26.but is that about to change? Several major car-makers including

:02:27. > :02:31.BMW, Volkswagen and Volvo have already announced ambitious plans

:02:32. > :02:35.for electric cars, seen as a key way of tackling air pollution and now

:02:36. > :02:41.the Government is signalling the end of petrol and diesel engines in

:02:42. > :02:44.the UK with a ban on sales by 2040. It's part of a ?3 billion air

:02:45. > :02:51.quality strategy that also includes ?255 million to help local

:03:19. > :03:20.levels of air pollution and action is needed now and not

:03:21. > :03:31.in 23 years time. Jane-Francis Kelly joins us

:03:32. > :03:34.from Oxford Street - one of the busiest streets in

:03:35. > :03:43.Britain. We can see the buses behind you this

:03:44. > :03:46.morning, Jane. So people are saying already that 2040 is a long time

:03:47. > :03:54.ahead and that maybe this initiative doesn't do enough to help immediate

:03:55. > :03:59.problems with emission levels now? Yes, well many campaigners are

:04:00. > :04:03.saying that. Sadiq Khan the Mayor of London has said that Oxford Street

:04:04. > :04:10.is one of the worst polluted streets in the world. In January, the air

:04:11. > :04:15.pollution air quality here was worse than in Beijing. As you can see, it

:04:16. > :04:21.is becoming well, at the moment it is not that busy, but later on it

:04:22. > :04:25.will be full of buses and taxis and we asked people rushing to work what

:04:26. > :04:29.they thought of today's announcement.

:04:30. > :04:34.I use diesel because it's cheaper for me to get to work unless I'm

:04:35. > :04:38.coming into London when I have to use the train, but if I'm going

:04:39. > :04:45.across country, 800 miles then it's got to be diesel. I understand it's

:04:46. > :04:48.a complicated issue and one side is going to feel we're not doing

:04:49. > :04:54.enough. I would hope that they can really push forward to make that

:04:55. > :05:01.2040 a bit sooner. Well, it doesn't affect me as such, but my daughter

:05:02. > :05:06.and my wife they suffer a lot from asthma so their chest or lungs isn't

:05:07. > :05:10.very good. So I'd like to see something for done about it. Well,

:05:11. > :05:15.campaigners would like congestion zones in other cities. They would

:05:16. > :05:18.like vehicles scrappage schemes, but the Government has said that it

:05:19. > :05:22.doesn't want to penalise drivers and that it is better to tackle

:05:23. > :05:26.pollution hotspots by better traffic management.

:05:27. > :05:29.STUDIO: Jane-Frances Kelly, thank you.

:05:30. > :05:32.France has appealed for help to fight the fires that

:05:33. > :05:34.are raging through the south of the country.

:05:35. > :05:37.There are reports that 10,000 people have been evacuated.

:05:38. > :05:41.One of the worst fires is raging in the hills above the popular

:05:42. > :05:45.More than 4000 firefighters and troops have been mobilised

:05:46. > :05:50.to extinguish the flames, backed up by 19 aircraft.

:05:51. > :05:53.The author Robert Harris is currently staying in the area

:05:54. > :06:01.He is still on the beach at Cap Benat and joins

:06:02. > :06:12.Good morning to you. Just tell us where you are right now first of

:06:13. > :06:18.all, Robert. I'm in a town and on the beach looking across towards the

:06:19. > :06:25.peninsula of Cap Benat where we have a holiday home. We had to leave at

:06:26. > :06:29.2am in the morning and we were among ten or 12,000 people who were

:06:30. > :06:36.evacuated. A lot spent the night on the beach. We came here and a cafe

:06:37. > :06:41.stayed open. It was a kind of Blitz spirit and it was a spectacular

:06:42. > :06:47.sight of this peninsula really going up in flames. There were 560

:06:48. > :06:53.firefighters tackling it and it wiped out a large area of forest.

:06:54. > :06:58.And just tell us, I know I have seen your photographs and we can see one

:06:59. > :07:04.of them now on Breakfast here. Are the fires still burning? I think it

:07:05. > :07:09.is more or less out. There is a beach which is very close to the

:07:10. > :07:14.French President's summer retreat. It is said that the fire has

:07:15. > :07:19.reignited there, but otherwise, it was put out at about 6am or 7am this

:07:20. > :07:23.morning, I hope. We are not being allowed back to our houses though

:07:24. > :07:30.because they're still trying to make sure it's safe. It has been quite an

:07:31. > :07:36.operation to get you all to safety. Just tell us a little bit about

:07:37. > :07:41.that. We were just sort of neighbours woke one another up and

:07:42. > :07:46.went out into the street and we were told to drive away as quickly as

:07:47. > :07:50.possible. People left without passports. Really just wearing

:07:51. > :07:56.whatever they happened to have on at the time. At first one couldn't see

:07:57. > :08:02.anything, but as we drove along the kind of bay area, the sky became

:08:03. > :08:10.redder and redder and then orange flames appeared until finally there

:08:11. > :08:15.was a real sense of wall of fire. And there was a tremendous smell of

:08:16. > :08:21.burning. People were very calm. I don't think anyone was in any

:08:22. > :08:26.particular danger, but, of course, a lot of children, exhausted and you

:08:27. > :08:30.know just quite a lot of people distressed at the threat that their

:08:31. > :08:36.houses or their tents or their caravans might be destroyed. It's a

:08:37. > :08:41.big area of camping and caravanning. You talked about the forest being

:08:42. > :08:46.destroyed. As yet, do you know whether your house is OK? What's

:08:47. > :08:51.been saved or not been saved? Yes, I can look across the bay at it now.

:08:52. > :08:56.So I'm fortunate, we're fortunate. I think they managed to stop it. They

:08:57. > :09:01.fought all night for four or five hours to bring it under control. The

:09:02. > :09:10.hillside was a mass of flashing blue lights. There has been worries down

:09:11. > :09:13.here about fires for a long time. A few years ago they started putting

:09:14. > :09:18.roads in the forest so fire trucks could get through the forest and put

:09:19. > :09:23.in fire breaks. They halted all development. There was a tense that

:09:24. > :09:29.this was a tinderbox and we have had the wind ploughing for two days now

:09:30. > :09:34.at 40mph from the north-west. And it's that that really dried the

:09:35. > :09:39.undergrowth and then sped the fire on its way. Robert Harris, I hope

:09:40. > :09:46.you get back to your home sometime today. Thank you very much indeed

:09:47. > :09:49.for joining us. Thank you. The time is 8.09am.

:09:50. > :09:52.A High Court judge will decide today whether Charlie Gard should be

:09:53. > :09:56.His parents want to take him out of hospital, but lawyers

:09:57. > :09:58.for Great Ormond Street say a hospice would be a more

:09:59. > :10:00.appropriate place for Charlie, given the level of medical

:10:01. > :10:04.The legal battle over Charlie Gard now centres

:10:05. > :10:07.on where and how he spends his final days, perhaps hours.

:10:08. > :10:10.It follows his parents' decision earlier this week

:10:11. > :10:12.to abandon their lengthy legal battle to be allowed to take him

:10:13. > :10:18.Yesterday, Charlie's mum, Connie Yates, returned to court

:10:19. > :10:21.to make it clear she did not want him to die in the

:10:22. > :10:28.The parents' lawyer said it was their last wish that Charlie

:10:29. > :10:30.dies at home for a few days of tranquillity outside

:10:31. > :10:34.Last night they appealed for a paediatric intensive care

:10:35. > :10:37.doctor to come forward who would be willing to help take care

:10:38. > :10:40.of their son, but the court heard there were practical issues

:10:41. > :10:48.For example whether Charlie's ventilator would fit

:10:49. > :10:57.In a statement Great Ormond Street Hospital said it wanted to honour

:10:58. > :10:59.the parents' wishes, but the care plan must be safe,

:11:00. > :11:04.it must spare Charlie all pain and it must protect his dignity.

:11:05. > :11:06.The hospital has offered a compromise for Charlie to be

:11:07. > :11:09.transferred to a hospice where doctors would supervise his

:11:10. > :11:11.palliative care and death after a period of some hours.

:11:12. > :11:14.But Charlie's parents say they want days, not hours, and a hospice

:11:29. > :11:30.told survivors he would "get to the bottom" of the tragedy

:11:35. > :11:36.of the final consultation on what the investigation

:11:37. > :11:49.We're not here to fight each other, brother.

:11:50. > :11:52.And more than once, the inquiry chair, Sir Martin Moore-Bick,

:11:53. > :12:07.We are not going to get anywhere if you all talk at once.

:12:08. > :12:10.Well, this meeting has broken up now after almost three hours of talking.

:12:11. > :12:12.It has been fractious at times, emotional too.

:12:13. > :12:15.I think what the inquiry panel can't have failed to take away

:12:16. > :12:18.is the frustration and anger that still exists here and the fact that

:12:19. > :12:20.some people don't have faith in their ability to do

:12:21. > :12:26.You know, quite honestly, I don't know why we have an inquiry

:12:27. > :12:28.that the so-called chair, who's a judge, cannot compel

:12:29. > :12:36.We need to see that they are representative,

:12:37. > :12:40.that they are going to understand the pain, the humanitarian issues,

:12:41. > :12:43.because they're all very relevant in this as well.

:12:44. > :12:46.The main reason people are angry is because they're

:12:47. > :12:54.Now whether that was the right forum to get those

:12:55. > :12:56.answers is questionable, but the fact is that people

:12:57. > :13:01.There is a lot of emotion and I entirely understand

:13:02. > :13:05.We're going to continue to work with them and hope that by careful

:13:06. > :13:08.preparation and discussion, and so on, we can make them realise

:13:09. > :13:10.that we can give them justice by finding out

:13:11. > :13:13.Today, there's another meeting, when residents can question

:13:14. > :13:17.But six weeks after this fire, there's little sign of things

:13:18. > :13:26.More than 500,000 pupils in state schools in England are being taught

:13:27. > :13:27.by unqualified teachers, according to Labour.

:13:28. > :13:31.New analysis conducted by the party, shows the number of teachers

:13:32. > :13:36.without formal qualifications has risen by more than 60% since 2012,

:14:52. > :14:54.of all diesel and petrol cars and vans from 2040.

:15:21. > :15:28.And Jack Cousens, from the AA, who joins us from London.

:15:29. > :15:37.Good morning. Thank you for joining us. Let's not talk about air

:15:38. > :15:43.pollution first. You look at this specifically. How much is call

:15:44. > :15:47.specifically by cars? Nitrogen dioxide pollution is coming more

:15:48. > :15:57.than 90 present from cars. How bad is it? It is bad. It certainly

:15:58. > :16:02.affect human health. Some really good evidence that it is affecting

:16:03. > :16:09.lung function. It affects heart disease and there are some links to

:16:10. > :16:14.brain and neural functions. Let's go to Jack, head of roads policy the

:16:15. > :16:19.AA. Amongst other things, this is going to be telling people that buy

:16:20. > :16:24.a certain date, at 2040, they can no longer buy diesel or petrol cars.

:16:25. > :16:29.You see this as a good way forward? In terms of solving air quality, yes

:16:30. > :16:34.it is a good step forward. We need to get away from fossil fuels.

:16:35. > :16:38.However, with this move comes a whole host of questions that have to

:16:39. > :16:43.be answered. One of those is, if we are going down the electric route,

:16:44. > :16:47.we need a very big infrastructure programme of charging points,

:16:48. > :16:51.especially fast charge, and that's where electric cars can be topped up

:16:52. > :16:54.within half an hour. The knock-on from that is, could the National

:16:55. > :16:58.Grid cope with a mass switch on after the evening rush-hour? There

:16:59. > :17:02.is a bit of a sense of yes, these measures are good in terms of air

:17:03. > :17:07.quality but there are several questions left unanswered that have

:17:08. > :17:10.to be teased out before 2040. That is exactly what viewers are talking

:17:11. > :17:15.about it Chris saying, how many electricity points will we need in

:17:16. > :17:19.cities and towns? Other people saying, what about long-distance

:17:20. > :17:24.journeys, because at this point, and I'm sure technology will change,

:17:25. > :17:28.that is a problem. It is, and the range will be to be improved and

:17:29. > :17:32.manufacturers are trying their best to do that. Manufacturers are trying

:17:33. > :17:36.to take the baton with this so we saw a few weeks ago that Volvo had

:17:37. > :17:39.announced that from 2019 or new models will be based on electric or

:17:40. > :17:43.hybrid so they are actually trying to make a positive change come

:17:44. > :17:48.through but what we need is Government support. Buying a car is

:17:49. > :17:53.a very big financial commitment and those families on low incomes will

:17:54. > :17:57.need assistance and help to transfer from the traditional petrol and

:17:58. > :18:02.diesel car into these new electric vehicles, which is a shame that the

:18:03. > :18:04.Government don't feel that a scrappage scheme could work. We

:18:05. > :18:10.served approximately 15,000 AA members and 75% said that they would

:18:11. > :18:14.be very keen to take part in a scrappage scheme. Take the bigger

:18:15. > :18:20.picture, Professor, about the world we live in, the street you live on,

:18:21. > :18:23.the road you live nearby, maybe diesel and petrol free but what

:18:24. > :18:27.about the rest of the world? Each country is going to make decisions

:18:28. > :18:32.that have their own laws about what is allowed and not allowed.

:18:33. > :18:36.Absolutely but in certain other countries, we have seen the

:18:37. > :18:41.statement earlier in your bulletin about the news from France and Paris

:18:42. > :18:45.that Emmanuel Macron has gone very much down this route. What about the

:18:46. > :18:50.big guys like America and China? China are investing hugely in

:18:51. > :18:54.improving their infrastructure and they recognise the problem and are

:18:55. > :18:57.trying to do something about it. There was a huge problem out there

:18:58. > :19:03.and it is by no means easy to tackle but there is massive work to try to

:19:04. > :19:06.improve the situation. Linda says, what about the buses? I know there

:19:07. > :19:12.is work being done on buses and lorries and buses also have an

:19:13. > :19:18.impact on towns. Certainly, diesel vehicles and heavy vehicles such as

:19:19. > :19:23.buses and heavy goods to emit appreciable amounts of very large

:19:24. > :19:29.contributions to the Enoh to Burton in the cities and they will need to

:19:30. > :19:39.look at how they are regulated and powered. -- the NO2 burden. Lots of

:19:40. > :19:44.people are saying, what about caravans? Can electric vehicle

:19:45. > :19:49.pulled one? That's the thing. At the moment, it won't be able to do that

:19:50. > :19:53.but as manufacturers become better at engineering and trying new

:19:54. > :19:59.things, they will have to eventually get there. The other thing to

:20:00. > :20:02.remember is it is not just cars that create air-pollution. In

:20:03. > :20:06.Southampton, one of the cities that was outlined for a clean air zone, a

:20:07. > :20:12.lot of air pollution comes from the dot. Because of the cruise ships

:20:13. > :20:15.coming in and out but when they were in the dock and stationery, they

:20:16. > :20:20.were running off diesel generator so it does seem very easy to point up

:20:21. > :20:24.the diesel and petrol car driver and say it is all their fault. That is

:20:25. > :20:28.not. It is a collective mix of all sorts of vehicles that need to be

:20:29. > :20:33.addressed and it needs a holistic approach to solve it. There is no

:20:34. > :20:37.one silver bullet to solve air quality, we know that. So what we

:20:38. > :20:41.need to see from the Government as a whole portfolio, a whole package of

:20:42. > :20:46.measures, to come forward to improve air quality. Eight out of ten of our

:20:47. > :20:51.members say they want to improve air quality and that's something we

:20:52. > :20:54.should strive for. Air pollution is making a really tangible difference

:20:55. > :21:00.to people's health at the moment, in the detrimental way. The statistics

:21:01. > :21:04.are pretty frightening. Absolutely. The issues are here and now. A

:21:05. > :21:10.changing power of vehicles from here to 2040 is very welcome but that is

:21:11. > :21:17.20 years away and evidence very strongly supports health impacts on

:21:18. > :21:22.schoolchildren growing up to their teenagers, getting to school and

:21:23. > :21:26.back, a transfer of vehicle power to electric vehicles over 20 years is

:21:27. > :21:30.not going to solve a problem. We have to tackle the problem and we

:21:31. > :21:35.have to tackle the problem now. Thanks very much for your time.

:21:36. > :21:41.Thank you for all of your thoughts and comments coming in this morning.

:21:42. > :21:48.It is not looking great on the weather. Carol has the details.

:21:49. > :21:53.We have rain, which they could do with the South of France. What is

:21:54. > :22:00.happening in Corsica is that we have a wind gusting at 65 kilometres.

:22:01. > :22:04.That is pretty strong so that is fanning the flames. The other thing

:22:05. > :22:07.is, it is so dry and it is going to remain dry as we head into the next

:22:08. > :22:12.week and temperatures are if anything going to rise above 5

:22:13. > :22:17.degrees above average. So it is still an ongoing risk of wildfires

:22:18. > :22:20.in this part of the country. We have rain, as I mentioned, and that is

:22:21. > :22:24.going to continue to push eastwards as we go through the course of the

:22:25. > :22:29.day. Is almost out of Northern Ireland now, making good progress as

:22:30. > :22:34.it continues its journey east, eradicating a drier and brighter

:22:35. > :22:40.start to the day. In graphic form, we can see it is accompanied by

:22:41. > :22:44.blustery winds. Lorraine slowly progressing. Across Scotland and

:22:45. > :22:48.northern England, still the chance of heavy bursts but across England

:22:49. > :22:52.and Wales, lighter and more patchy, especially when it gets into the

:22:53. > :22:54.south-east. For Northern Ireland, starting to brighten up this morning

:22:55. > :23:00.but sunshine and showers in the afternoon. The same for Scotland.

:23:01. > :23:04.Bright spells, sunshine and showers, the rain still lingering across the

:23:05. > :23:08.Northern Isles. For Northern England, looking at it brightening

:23:09. > :23:13.up and the rain clears so there will be sunshine and a few showers dotted

:23:14. > :23:15.around but as we move from Yorkshire to Lincolnshire, East Anglia,

:23:16. > :23:20.Cambridge, down into Essex and Kent, all the way towards the Midlands and

:23:21. > :23:25.Hampshire, we still have a hand back of cloud and we see patchy weather

:23:26. > :23:29.front rain there. In the south-west, drying out mostly with sunshine

:23:30. > :23:33.coming through. The same for Wales but temperatures a bit disappointing

:23:34. > :23:36.for this stage in July. Through this evening and overnight, eventually we

:23:37. > :23:41.see the rain clears away from the Northern Isles. Dry for most of us

:23:42. > :23:45.but we will see a plethora of showers across north-west Scotland

:23:46. > :23:49.and Northern Ireland. That's because we've got an area of low pressure

:23:50. > :23:52.centred almost across us in the north-west and if you look at the

:23:53. > :23:55.spacing on the Isa buyers, it is telling you it is going to be a

:23:56. > :23:59.fairly blustery night and a blustery day tomorrow. Particularly windy

:24:00. > :24:06.with exposure across the Northwest. Coastal gales, sun of the showers

:24:07. > :24:08.merging across western Scotland and possibly north-west Ireland as well

:24:09. > :24:13.to give longer spells of rain, maybe some lightning and pale. But for the

:24:14. > :24:18.rest of the UK comedy bright spells, sunshine and showers and not all of

:24:19. > :24:37.us will catch one. Temperatures between 15 and 20.

:24:38. > :24:39.After a tour as a UN Peacekeeper in Bosnia,

:24:40. > :24:42.Peter Millns returned home carrying memories of the horrors

:24:43. > :24:44.he had witnessed, but also of the friendships he had made -

:24:45. > :24:47.many with children he thought he would never see again.

:24:48. > :24:49.However, almost a quarter of a century later, he received

:24:50. > :24:52.a message from one of the girls he had helped.

:24:53. > :24:54.Our reporter Dave Guest went to meet him.

:24:55. > :24:57.It's more than 20 years since Peter Millns served with UN

:24:58. > :25:00.But he remembers it as if it were yesterday.

:25:01. > :25:02.It was absolutely horrendous, some of the things that

:25:03. > :25:06.people did to each other, and as young soldiers we saw that.

:25:07. > :25:08.In particular he remembers the local children who

:25:09. > :25:12.At first, to see uniform in a civil war, they're going to back off,

:25:13. > :25:17.But after a bit they knew we were UN and we had sweets,

:25:18. > :25:20.ration packs full of sweets and chocolates, and they kept

:25:21. > :25:24.Among them an eight-year-old called Djuldina.

:25:25. > :25:29.He last saw her in that war-torn country two decades ago.

:25:30. > :25:33.Then last weekend, out of the blue, she contacted him via Facebook.

:25:34. > :25:36.In this picture she is holding the teddy Peter gave her

:25:37. > :25:40.What did you think when she got in touch?

:25:41. > :25:48.Because we thought she had been either killed or hurt,

:25:49. > :25:52.because when we were there it was quite badly shelled.

:25:53. > :25:56.Today the pair met face-to-face for the first time via Skype.

:25:57. > :26:09.My wife sends her love to all of your family

:26:10. > :26:16.I am so glad that you are alive now and that you have family.

:26:17. > :26:22.You've gone on to be a teacher and are doing really well.

:26:23. > :26:25.At the end of their conversation the emotion shows.

:26:26. > :26:30.She is obviously home now in Sarajevo and...

:26:31. > :26:38.And when I spoke to Djuldina, it was clear she has never forgotten

:26:39. > :26:41.the kindness of Peter and his comrades.

:26:42. > :26:44.They told us that peace will come soon.

:26:45. > :26:47.They gave us hope, not only chocolates.

:26:48. > :26:53.I don't know, they were strangers with different names

:26:54. > :26:56.from different countries, but they were our friends.

:26:57. > :27:14.The next step is to arrange a visit to meet Djuldina and her family.

:27:15. > :27:19.You can see you an intensely emotional moment for him. Time now

:27:20. > :30:38.to get the news, Now, though, it's back

:30:39. > :30:44.to Charlie and Louise. Hello, this is Breakfast with

:30:45. > :30:49.Charlie Stayt and Louise Minchin. All sales of new petrol and diesel

:30:50. > :30:54.cars will be banned from 2040, as part of efforts to

:30:55. > :30:57.reduce air pollution. The Government is expected

:30:58. > :31:03.to announce a fund of ?255 million to help local councils speed up

:31:04. > :31:06.efforts to combat emissions And there will be consultations

:31:07. > :31:11.on a possible scrappage scheme, although the Treasury is said to be

:31:12. > :31:15.resisting this idea. Critics say the plans do not go far

:31:16. > :31:28.enough, fast enough. The Environment Secretary, Michael

:31:29. > :31:32.Gove, said it would be up to local authorities to implement the plans.

:31:33. > :31:35.What we are announcing today is a package, more than ?200 million,

:31:36. > :31:39.which will go to the local authorities, to enable them to draw

:31:40. > :31:44.up appropriate plans to deal with some of the particular challenges

:31:45. > :31:49.they face. Plans could induce include everything, from changing

:31:50. > :31:54.the buses, so that they no longer emit noxious fumes, but it could

:31:55. > :31:56.include in certain areas particular restrictions on drivers, but

:31:57. > :32:01.critically, it is for local authorities to come up with plans.

:32:02. > :32:04.In our announcement later today, we will make it clear that local

:32:05. > :32:12.authorities must accelerate the progress that's already been made.

:32:13. > :32:14.France has appealed for help to fight the fires that

:32:15. > :32:20.are raging through the south of the country.

:32:21. > :32:23.There are reports that 10,000 people have been evacuated.

:32:24. > :32:26.One of the worst fires is raging in the hills above the popular

:32:27. > :32:29.More than 4,000 firefighters and troops have been mobilised

:32:30. > :32:38.to extinguish the flames, backed up by 19 aircraft.

:32:39. > :32:42.Just a few minutes ago, we spoke to the author Robert Harris, who was

:32:43. > :32:50.among those evacuated. He spoke to us from the beach and told us how

:32:51. > :32:55.events unfolded last night. We were just some sort of, neighbours woke

:32:56. > :33:02.one another up and went out into the streets and we were told to get away

:33:03. > :33:06.as quickly as possible. People were really just wearing whatever they

:33:07. > :33:15.happened to have on at the time. At first, one couldn't see anything,

:33:16. > :33:18.but as we drove along, the Bay Area, the air became redder and redder,

:33:19. > :33:24.and orange flames appeared, until finally, there was a wall of fire.

:33:25. > :33:29.And there was a tremendous smell of burning. People were very calm, I

:33:30. > :33:36.don't think anyone was ever in any particular danger, but, of course,

:33:37. > :33:40.there were a lot of children exhausted and just quite a lot of

:33:41. > :33:46.people distressed at the threat to their houses or tents or caravans.

:33:47. > :33:50.The High Court judge overseeing the case of the terminally-ill baby

:33:51. > :33:52.Charlie Gard will decide today whether the child's parents can

:33:53. > :33:55.Doctors at Great Ormond Street Hospital say that

:33:56. > :33:59.in the interest of his care, he should stay where he is or be

:34:00. > :34:03.His parents have appealed for a specialist doctor to come

:34:04. > :34:16.forward so he can spend his final hours at home.

:34:17. > :34:19.The judge leading the inquiry into the Grenfell Tower fire has

:34:20. > :34:21.told survivors he would "get to the bottom" of the tragedy

:34:22. > :34:24.Shouting broke out at points during the gathering,

:34:25. > :34:27.as residents expressed their anger at the limits of the inquiry.

:34:28. > :34:30.A final meeting will be held tonight on the scope of the investigation.

:34:31. > :34:37.At least 80 people were killed in the blaze.

:34:38. > :34:39.More than half-a-million pupils in state schools in England

:34:40. > :34:41.are being taught by unqualified teachers, according to Labour.

:34:42. > :34:43.New analysis conducted by the party shows the number of teachers

:34:44. > :34:46.without formal qualifications has risen by more than 60% since 2012,

:34:47. > :34:51.a situation which Labour claims is "threatening standards".

:34:52. > :34:53.A Department for Education spokesperson said the

:34:54. > :34:54.proportion of qualified teachers remains high.

:34:55. > :35:00.Victoria Derbyshire is on at 9 o'clock this morning on BBC Two.

:35:01. > :35:02.Let's see what's coming up on the programme.

:35:03. > :35:11.Good morning. Coming up, we will bring you new and exclusive evidence

:35:12. > :35:15.that Kensington and Chelsea Council well worn seven years ago that

:35:16. > :35:18.emergency vehicle access to the Grenfell Tower block could be a

:35:19. > :35:23.problem. Firefighters say that on the night of the blaze, access was

:35:24. > :35:27.an issue. Access issues really have a huge impact on our ability to

:35:28. > :35:30.fight that fire as quick as we needed to and to get help to those

:35:31. > :35:40.people. Join us for the. Rate after Brexit. -- join us after Breakfast.

:35:41. > :35:42.Coming up here on Breakfast this morning...

:35:43. > :35:44.He's the prolific football manger you've probably never heard of.

:35:45. > :35:46.Stephen Constantine's coached more national sides

:35:47. > :35:49.He'll be here to tell us about his latest gig

:35:50. > :35:59.We have to be a lot more careful than that. I know!

:36:00. > :36:01.50 years ago, showing your love could be a crime.

:36:02. > :36:05.We'll be speaking to the stars of a powerful new drama

:36:06. > :36:08.about the court case that helped pave the wave for the

:36:09. > :36:14.And after nine, we'll have the bittersweet story

:36:15. > :36:24.of Britain's 400-year love affair with sugar.

:36:25. > :36:40.I don't eat sweets! What?! We can't be friends! Ie Things like

:36:41. > :36:46.chocolate... That still counts! Don't we mean sugary things? I just

:36:47. > :36:48.don't eat sweets, that's all I'm saying. OK, I think we can still be

:36:49. > :37:04.friends! Now, Adam Peaty, he just keeps

:37:05. > :37:09.breaking his own record, again and again and again! He's almost

:37:10. > :37:13.surprising himself, he's supremely confident, and yet quite humble. He

:37:14. > :37:17.keeps surprising himself, he says, I don't know what more is in the tank.

:37:18. > :37:20.Adam Peaty continues to push the boundaries in a swimming pool.

:37:21. > :37:22.The Olympic champion beat his own world record in the 50

:37:23. > :37:25.metre breaststroke twice in one day, breaking the 26 second mark

:37:26. > :37:33.He goes in the final today looking to set an even faster time.

:37:34. > :37:36.England will look to retake a series lead when they face South Africa

:37:37. > :37:38.in the third test at the Oval, which starts tomorrow.

:37:39. > :37:40.They'll have debutant Tom Westley in the side,

:37:41. > :37:42.who comes in to replace the injured Gary Ballance.

:37:43. > :37:49.Westley will be making his England debut at the age of 28.

:37:50. > :37:56.It has probably started to sink in now, it has been quite a surreal few

:37:57. > :38:00.days. I suppose it is just the build-up, really. , Thursday, I'm

:38:01. > :38:05.going to be nervous, as expected. The challenge for me is to replicate

:38:06. > :38:09.what I've been doing for Essex, and hopefully do it for England.

:38:10. > :38:11.Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho says that some clubs

:38:12. > :38:15.are paying far too much for players this summer.

:38:16. > :38:22.His team of course spent ?75 million on Romelu Lukaku earlier this month.

:38:23. > :38:29.We've spent a lot of money on a striker, and if we don't do that, we

:38:30. > :38:32.have no striker. That's obvious that the nowadays, especially for the

:38:33. > :38:38.strikers, the amount of money is amazing. Every club is getting

:38:39. > :38:42.players, every club is investing a lot of. I think some clubs,

:38:43. > :38:47.obviously, they're paying too much, and by paying too much, they create

:38:48. > :38:52.a very strange and out-of-control market. But this is the reality. I'm

:38:53. > :38:55.going to ask our next guest all about that.

:38:56. > :38:59.He is England's most prolific national football manager,

:39:00. > :39:02.having managed five countries' teams over the past 20 years.

:39:03. > :39:05.During that time, he's been awarded a medal from the King of Nepal,

:39:06. > :39:07.hugged a pitch-invading prince in Kathmandu and has

:39:08. > :39:10.taken the Indian team into the top 100 in the world.

:39:11. > :39:11.Despite developing the beautiful game abroad, Stephen Constantine

:39:12. > :39:13.remains relatively unknown here in the UK.

:39:14. > :39:16.However, he has now written a book about his career

:39:17. > :39:25.Good morning to you. You're standing still long enough to talk to us,

:39:26. > :39:31.you're not on a plane or train! I was yesterday! It must be strange to

:39:32. > :39:35.hear Jose Mourinho talking like that about the hundreds of millions of

:39:36. > :39:38.pounds being spent on players for the Premier League, and in your

:39:39. > :39:45.career, you have managed players in very different circumstances? With

:39:46. > :39:47.the national teams at least, we are not buying an selling players, we

:39:48. > :39:51.are trying to get them from the local country. It's tough, it's very

:39:52. > :39:56.difficult, these budgets are on another planet for us. It doesn't

:39:57. > :40:02.affect us. Where do you live right now? That's a good question! I'm

:40:03. > :40:07.based in Delhi, I have an apartment on the 22nd floor. The last time I

:40:08. > :40:12.was there was in early May. And I live in hotels, basically. Talk to

:40:13. > :40:16.us a bit about India. You are the coach of the national team - is the

:40:17. > :40:24.rest of the world lucky that India hasn't got the football bug yet,

:40:25. > :40:31.with such a huge population? Is it as simple as that? No, they have got

:40:32. > :40:35.the bug, big-time. But the players are not yet at international

:40:36. > :40:40.standard? The last three or four years, with the Indian Super League,

:40:41. > :40:43.and the results from the national team, they have really caught hold

:40:44. > :40:47.of the nation. There's hundreds of thousands of kids, we have more kids

:40:48. > :40:52.playing football then we can count. It's just a matter of time before

:40:53. > :40:55.this development process starts kicking in and India starts

:40:56. > :40:59.producing players for the senior team and for Europe. Tell ourselves

:41:00. > :41:04.out your love affair with football. From a small child, you loved this

:41:05. > :41:12.sport? Is there any other sport?! Well, there are! I know! When you're

:41:13. > :41:17.born in England, you grow up, you want to play for England and for

:41:18. > :41:21.your local club. I have had to go out and coaching other countries,

:41:22. > :41:25.because I don't want to do anything else, I've never wanted to do

:41:26. > :41:30.anything else. For as long as I live, I won't want to do anything

:41:31. > :41:33.else. How do you coach in different countries, when you move to a new

:41:34. > :41:38.country, do you have to change your style in any way, do the players

:41:39. > :41:41.have different strengths and weaknesses? That's a really good

:41:42. > :41:45.question. Problem with a lot of coaches when they go to different

:41:46. > :41:50.countries is that they come from a certain country, within a coach them

:41:51. > :41:53.how we do it in England or Germany or Italy. But we are the coaches and

:41:54. > :41:58.we have to change, we have to find the good, positive things from that

:41:59. > :42:03.country, add in your own knowledge and experience, my wife calls me a

:42:04. > :42:07.chameleon, because I would change the colour of my skin if I had to.

:42:08. > :42:14.As an outsider, looking at the English national side, why have we

:42:15. > :42:21.got such good clubs and such rubbish national team? I chuck these things

:42:22. > :42:26.out, I don't mean rubbish, but our success rate has not been great? We

:42:27. > :42:33.haven't won a tournament in God knows how long. It is a problem,

:42:34. > :42:37.isn't it? It is. The problem is, everybody likes to beat England.

:42:38. > :42:44.When you go abroad, you feel that. They love to beat us. We are not as

:42:45. > :42:50.good as we think we are. Although the last few years, the U17s have

:42:51. > :42:54.done really well, the U19s, the U20s won the World Cup. It is a sign of

:42:55. > :42:57.things changing. In England we are starting to take the youth setup a

:42:58. > :43:01.lot more seriously than we have in the past. In other countries, it is

:43:02. > :43:05.normal for them to focus so much on the youth, we don't do that as much

:43:06. > :43:12.a, but we are now. Would you turn it town as a job, England coach? I

:43:13. > :43:17.would take it in a second! Why not?! I have managed everywhere else

:43:18. > :43:27.except in my own country! And that tells you pretty much everything you

:43:28. > :43:30.need to know. St George's Park, we are starting to see the effects of

:43:31. > :43:37.that, but other countries have been doing it for years? Not only in

:43:38. > :43:40.Europe, the under 17 World Cup is in India this year, and the England

:43:41. > :43:44.team will be coming, and it's great to see that they're qualifying for

:43:45. > :43:46.these tournaments. The future is bright, I think. It is great to see

:43:47. > :43:48.you. Stephen's book is called

:43:49. > :43:51.From Delhi To The Den: The Story Prescriptions of antidepressants

:43:52. > :43:58.known as SSRIs have more than doubled in the UK in the past

:44:02. > :44:05.that in some rare cases, they can push people into psychosis,

:44:06. > :44:12.leading to murder. they can push people into psychosis,

:44:13. > :44:13.leading to violence. The BBC's Panorama has investigated

:44:14. > :44:16.a mass shooting at a cinema in Colorado five years ago,

:44:17. > :44:19.and found evidence the medication the killer was taking may have

:44:20. > :44:21.worsened his mental state. The mental health charity Mind

:44:22. > :44:23.advises anyone concerned about SSRIs not to stop medication

:44:24. > :44:41.without speaking to a doctor. Did you have any doubt that you

:44:42. > :44:46.would end up killing a lot of people? No, it was something I had

:44:47. > :44:52.to do. James Holmes, talking in prison after the so-called batsman

:44:53. > :44:57.killings. Five years ago, he fired into a packed cinema, healing 12 and

:44:58. > :45:01.injuring dozens more. The attack left his parents utterly bewildered.

:45:02. > :45:04.You can't believe that it is possible for anyone

:45:05. > :45:06.to cause that much harm, let alone the man you raised.

:45:07. > :45:10.Did antidepressants play a role in his crime?

:45:11. > :45:17.The defence team refused to put on any evidence of that nonsense.

:45:42. > :45:52.Panorama has learnt that in preparation for the trial two

:45:53. > :46:06.years ago, the defence brought UK based psychiatrist Professor David

:46:07. > :46:08.Professor David Healy to evaluate the evidence

:46:09. > :46:11.Professor Healy came to a controversial conclusion.

:46:12. > :46:13.I believe if he had not taken the sertraline he would not

:46:14. > :46:16.But his evidence was never tested in court.

:46:17. > :46:18.Panorama has scrutinised what happened after

:46:19. > :46:21.A notebook he wrote provides some clues.

:46:22. > :46:25.Holmes wrote in his notebook how his session with killing involved.

:46:28. > :46:32.suppressed by greater fear of others.

:46:40. > :46:49.Professor Peter Tyrer, world expert on personality

:46:50. > :46:53.disorders thinks the medication may have played a part in Holmes' crime.

:46:54. > :46:56.His symptoms were exactly right for getting sertraline,

:46:57. > :47:07.But his underlying personality, there is a certain detachment

:47:08. > :47:09.from people, they're almost like an alien species to him,

:47:10. > :47:14.and that sort of person, it worries me a great deal

:47:15. > :47:18.Pfizer says sertraline has helped many, and there is no evidence

:47:19. > :47:24.Mind, the mental health charity, advises anyone concerned not

:47:25. > :47:26.to stop medication suddenly, without speaking to their doctor

:47:27. > :47:36.and says severe side-effects incredibly rare.

:47:37. > :47:47.Shelley Joffrey joins us now as does Paul Farmer, the chief executive of

:47:48. > :47:56.the charity Mind. It is worth saying that this is an isolated case that

:47:57. > :48:02.you focus on, the circumstances that surrounded him first taking these

:48:03. > :48:06.drugs and then stopping? Absolutely. We make clear throughout the

:48:07. > :48:11.programme is very rare side effects. A lot of people take these drugs and

:48:12. > :48:15.find them very helpful but what we were focusing on was looking at this

:48:16. > :48:19.particular case in some depth, we do look at some cases where there are

:48:20. > :48:24.similar claims as well, but it is clear from the outset, people should

:48:25. > :48:29.not worry that what we are saying is these antidepressants will make

:48:30. > :48:34.everybody do strange things, it is a very rare side-effect but a very

:48:35. > :48:38.important one I think, to explore in the public interest, because

:48:39. > :48:43.obviously, written it does happen to you, the repercussions are pretty

:48:44. > :48:47.serious. They told you lots of different things, but what did they

:48:48. > :48:53.say is the key issue here? How could they tell that somebody might have a

:48:54. > :48:57.problem? There was a range of opinion among the psychiatrists we

:48:58. > :49:01.spoke to in the making of the programme, and looking at the James

:49:02. > :49:05.Holmes case in particular. To be fair, some of the psychiatrists do

:49:06. > :49:10.not buy the idea at all, that the medication had any role in this.

:49:11. > :49:18.Others think it may have had a limited role, in the sense that

:49:19. > :49:20.because it is used to treat anxiety, it reduced his fear of consequences

:49:21. > :49:24.and his inhibitions generally, allowing him to act on the dark

:49:25. > :49:29.thoughts that he had. But we have a couple of psychiatrists in the film

:49:30. > :49:32.who think it helped push him into a psychotic delusional state where he

:49:33. > :49:36.actually thought about killing people, really killing people in a

:49:37. > :49:42.way that had never occurred to him before he was on the drug. Poll,

:49:43. > :49:46.talk through the moment that was made a moment ago about this being

:49:47. > :49:50.an isolated incident, nonetheless, we are told there are 40 million

:49:51. > :49:57.prescriptions for SSR Is handed out in the UK alone. What are the issues

:49:58. > :50:05.which need to be thought about in connection with this drug. First of

:50:06. > :50:08.all, many people hugely benefit from taking antidepressants. The 40

:50:09. > :50:12.million prescriptions are highly effective for the vast majority of

:50:13. > :50:16.people. It is important to remember that these are drugs, these

:50:17. > :50:21.medicines and they are quite serious medicines. They have side effects

:50:22. > :50:25.which are clearly set out in the patient information leaflets we all

:50:26. > :50:29.get but often we don't read. I think it is important to do that. It is

:50:30. > :50:32.also important to bear in mind that when you are going through that

:50:33. > :50:38.treatment, if you are worried about anything that is happening, you talk

:50:39. > :50:43.to your doctor about it. What sort of thing should be alerting you?

:50:44. > :50:47.Bear in mind why people are being prescribed antidepressants in the

:50:48. > :50:50.first place. It is because you are depressed. Depression is a mental

:50:51. > :50:55.health condition which many of us will be experiencing at the moment.

:50:56. > :51:00.Your mood will be very low. The effect of antidepressants is to have

:51:01. > :51:03.an effect on your mood, and that can be quite scary, and quite

:51:04. > :51:07.frightening sometimes. It is important that you are keeping a

:51:08. > :51:13.close track on your moods. We recommend that people keep mood

:51:14. > :51:15.diary is so people can understand what is happening while you are

:51:16. > :51:18.taking your course of antidepressants. It is important to

:51:19. > :51:22.stress that if people are concerned about the way in which they are

:51:23. > :51:26.feeling during that course of antidepressants, that they go and

:51:27. > :51:31.seek help, come to the website and talk to their doctors. Shelley, the

:51:32. > :51:36.case you were focusing on was in America, what about in the UK? We

:51:37. > :51:41.have found similar claims, people who have taken drugs and found

:51:42. > :51:47.themselves in similar situations. One of the issues surrounding this

:51:48. > :51:49.is the great deal of stigma and shame surrounding this. If you have

:51:50. > :51:52.done something terrible when you were taking a drug that you might

:51:53. > :51:57.not necessarily have made the link, even if you have made the link, you

:51:58. > :52:02.do not want to talk about it. It is quite hard to talk about -- to get

:52:03. > :52:07.people to talk about this openly. One of the reasons we are making the

:52:08. > :52:11.programme is to try and have this public discussion so that people

:52:12. > :52:16.feel confident about raising it, and also raising it in court. One of the

:52:17. > :52:20.things we have found in our investigation is the court seemed

:52:21. > :52:26.very ill-equipped to deal with this particular question, about what to

:52:27. > :52:30.do if they legally prescribed medication is suspected of being

:52:31. > :52:34.involved in a case. We heard the defence lawyer in the clip they're

:52:35. > :52:39.basically saying, Julie 's are very sceptical. They often don't even go

:52:40. > :52:47.there because they are worried they may not get the best result for the

:52:48. > :52:49.client -- jury 's. Thank you very much for your time this morning.

:52:50. > :52:54.A Prescription for Murder? is on BBC One tonight at 9pm.

:52:55. > :52:58.Thank you, both. Let's have a last look at the weather with Carol. It

:52:59. > :53:11.is not looking marvellous, is it? Good morning. We have had some very

:53:12. > :53:17.heavy rain. We have had 27 millimetres of rain in Northern

:53:18. > :53:22.Ireland. All that rain in the West is now moving eastwards. It has

:53:23. > :53:25.cleared Northern Ireland and it will continue to push eastwards. The

:53:26. > :53:29.heaviest rain will be across northern areas. You can see in

:53:30. > :53:34.definite was a pretty damp start to the day. Not as heavy as in Scotland

:53:35. > :53:39.and Northern Ireland. As we move further east, we have had a dry and

:53:40. > :53:43.bright start. Thank you to our Weather Watchers for sending in

:53:44. > :53:47.these beautiful pictures. You can see rain moving from Northern

:53:48. > :53:51.Ireland pushing into Scotland, northern England, Wales and down to

:53:52. > :53:56.the Isle of Wight. Starting to move out of the south-west of England.

:53:57. > :54:01.Don't be full by that, there is more coming before this whole band shifts

:54:02. > :54:06.towards the east. We have sunshine and blustery showers behind it. The

:54:07. > :54:13.rain is slowest to clear from the far north-east of Scotland. A few

:54:14. > :54:18.showers around in Northern Ireland and Scotland behind the band of rain

:54:19. > :54:22.which by 4pm will be a sconce in the northern owls. When the rain goes

:54:23. > :54:31.through northern England you will see some heavy bursts. From parts of

:54:32. > :54:34.Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, East Anglia, Cambridgeshire and the

:54:35. > :54:38.Midlands, heading towards Hampshire in Dorset, there is more clout this

:54:39. > :54:42.afternoon, with patchy rain as the whole band of rain weakens.

:54:43. > :54:48.South-west England, it dries up nicely. There is no heat wave. It

:54:49. > :54:52.will be pleasant rather than sunny and warm. Through the evening and

:54:53. > :54:56.overnight we eventually lose the rain from the Northern Isles. Quite

:54:57. > :55:01.a breezy night with further showers across Northern Ireland and

:55:02. > :55:05.north-west Scotland in particular. That is because the area of low

:55:06. > :55:11.pressure is closer to Northern Ireland and Scotland. It will also

:55:12. > :55:15.be a windy day tomorrow, particularly in the north-west. So,

:55:16. > :55:20.we start off with those showers. Some of them will merge to get odd

:55:21. > :55:26.spells of rain. You could hear the odd rumble of thunder and hailstone

:55:27. > :55:30.as well. Gusty winds along exposed hills. Move away from the north-west

:55:31. > :55:35.of Scotland and Northern Ireland, for the rest of the UK, it will be

:55:36. > :55:41.dry with sunny spells and showers. Some of the showers will be hit and

:55:42. > :55:44.miss. If we had from Thursday into Friday, the low pressure drugs

:55:45. > :55:47.towards the north-west and we will see further showers accompanied by

:55:48. > :55:49.blustery winds and later on we will have some rain sweeping in from the

:55:50. > :56:06.south-west. Thank you very much. We are finding

:56:07. > :56:19.out more about the UK economy. Figures will be released later this

:56:20. > :56:25.morning. Then can tell us more. -- Ben.

:56:26. > :56:32.Earlier on I was showing you the raw process where they spin cotton. This

:56:33. > :56:37.is the finished product. There are a couple of stages still to go that

:56:38. > :56:42.that is used in all sorts of industries up and down the country.

:56:43. > :56:45.It is used in textiles, carmaking and clothes. It is really important

:56:46. > :56:50.because the speed of being able to deliver it from the factory to other

:56:51. > :56:55.factories in the country means they can compete with places like China.

:56:56. > :57:12.This factory was built in the 1900. It was

:57:13. > :57:16.derelict in the 1980s but it now has a new lease of life creating cotton

:57:17. > :57:18.in the north-west. It is a big investment and a big vote of

:57:19. > :57:21.confidence in the economy. Tracy is with me. She is head of sales. Good

:57:22. > :57:24.morning. You deal with your customers day in and day out. What

:57:25. > :57:26.are they telling you about the economy? They are nervous about

:57:27. > :57:28.Brexit. Everybody says they are sourcing products from the UK will

:57:29. > :57:35.stop they are looking for the end consumer. We are spinning incredibly

:57:36. > :57:42.fine yarns so we will be producing incredibly fine fabrics for the

:57:43. > :57:47.luxury brands. They are definitely looking for more British quality

:57:48. > :57:51.goods. It is a great made in the UK story. Thank you. I want to

:57:52. > :57:59.introduce you to a couple of other people at the factory. It is a great

:58:00. > :58:04.story about whether you invest in a downturn or whether you improve

:58:05. > :58:08.later. Let me introduce you to Tom. And Mike Cherry from the Federation

:58:09. > :58:13.of Small Businesses. We will get the growth figures later, what are we

:58:14. > :58:21.expecting? We will get a snapshot of growth in the UK economy. We are

:58:22. > :58:26.expecting a growth -- an annual growth rate of one by 7%. Not bad

:58:27. > :58:31.but not great. About the same as Germany, a bit less than America, a

:58:32. > :58:36.bit more than France. And a lot weighing on the minds of businesses,

:58:37. > :58:42.they will struggle to weather this storm, not like big businesses which

:58:43. > :58:47.have more in reserve. Small businesses are resilient but in the

:58:48. > :58:51.latest quarterly index we saw a drop in confidence levels. That is caused

:58:52. > :58:56.by home-grown issues like the Living Wage, or to enrolment, the drop in

:58:57. > :58:59.Stirling. All of these are causing headwinds which are putting off

:59:00. > :59:04.investment decisions and stopping jobs from being created as much as

:59:05. > :59:08.we need them to be. Thank you for your time. All of this fascinating

:59:09. > :59:12.stuff, a big investment. A lot of you are pointing out they do not

:59:13. > :59:28.seem to be many workers here. You are right,

:59:29. > :59:32.a lot of this is automated. That comes down to cost.

:59:33. > :59:34.Nonetheless, a success story of a mill which has seen its time revived

:59:35. > :59:37.in 2016 and is back producing cotton here in the north-west. I saw one

:59:38. > :59:42.worker behind you earlier on. There are a few. We met some downstairs.

:59:43. > :59:47.They need people to run these machines but just one row of these

:59:48. > :59:50.machines. In the good old days of cotton spinning it would have taken

:59:51. > :59:55.35 or 40 people on one of these and they have rows and rows of them

:59:56. > :00:00.here. It can be more efficient, more productive and that is helping to

:00:01. > :00:04.compete with the likes of China. It helps British business fight its own

:00:05. > :00:08.against foreign competition. Thank you. It is also colourful and

:00:09. > :00:19.organised. Excellent. It's 50 years since the UK partially

:00:20. > :00:21.decriminalised homosexuality and the BBC's Gay Britannia season

:00:22. > :00:23.is celebrating that step Against The Law is a retelling

:00:24. > :00:27.of the infamous 1954 Montagu trial, which saw three men imprisoned

:00:28. > :00:31.for homosexual acts and caused a public backlash that pressured

:00:32. > :00:33.the Government to review the law. The drama also features real-life

:00:34. > :00:36.testimony from gay men who lived We'll talk to two of its stars

:00:37. > :00:40.in a moment, but first No, no, I'm just down

:01:16. > :01:35.and comedian Richard Gadd, who plays Royal Air Force corporal

:01:36. > :01:43.Eddie McNally in tonight's drama, and broadcaster and comic

:01:58. > :02:01.like you describing what your experiences were. You lived through

:02:02. > :02:08.that time, what was it like as a young man growing up? It was the

:02:09. > :02:13.most frightening time ever. I was 18 going on 19, you couldn't touch

:02:14. > :02:17.somebody, you couldn't hold the hand of a same-sex person, you couldn't

:02:18. > :02:23.certainly embrace somebody, because you would go to prison. So you lived

:02:24. > :02:26.in fear, you also lived in fear of suicide, because people committed

:02:27. > :02:31.suicide, blackmail... It was a horrible time, and it was a very

:02:32. > :02:35.frightening time. And when it came partially legal, it was great in

:02:36. > :02:40.London, it made no difference in the north of England, it was still, the

:02:41. > :02:46.queer bashers were out, the violence was still there. It was a sad time.

:02:47. > :02:50.We will come to it in a moment, but the significance of the Montagu

:02:51. > :02:57.trial, just explain why that was such an important moment in terms of

:02:58. > :03:00.changing attitudes? I've got to be honest with you, it didn't mean

:03:01. > :03:05.anything to me, because I was just one task it meant more to people in

:03:06. > :03:09.London when it happened. It didn't mean anything to us north. We read

:03:10. > :03:15.about it but we seriously lived in fear. It was a very strange time.

:03:16. > :03:19.For instance, the small gay scene in Liverpool was opposite the theatre.

:03:20. > :03:23.For instance, there was a place called the Magic Clock, you couldn't

:03:24. > :03:27.go into there because you might see your mum's friends or your family

:03:28. > :03:33.friends. It became partially legal, it didn't alter anything. The drama

:03:34. > :03:36.focuses on the court case, and, of course, that's the way the world

:03:37. > :03:40.works, isn't it? The legal system does one thing and then the world

:03:41. > :03:47.gradually reacts to things but are we absolutely. And that's captured

:03:48. > :03:53.in the film. You see that love comes up and extreme cost in the film, you

:03:54. > :03:58.see these two people meet, my character is an RAF pilot who is

:03:59. > :04:01.gay, and he has a very genuine relationship, exchanging letters,

:04:02. > :04:04.and then you see the courts taking these letters and using them against

:04:05. > :04:09.these men to try to drive them apart. And he gave evidence against

:04:10. > :04:14.his lover? And that was the controversy at the time - he was

:04:15. > :04:18.given immunity if he admitted to it and testified against these men,

:04:19. > :04:29.even he was committing the same criminal acts at that time. Just to

:04:30. > :04:32.interrupt, you think about it, in those days, people could go to

:04:33. > :04:36.prison for ten years for homosexuality, for being in a

:04:37. > :04:44.same-sex relationship. The average prison sentence for rape was five

:04:45. > :04:48.years. Where is the logic in that? There are so many questions that we

:04:49. > :04:51.can't answer in some ways. As well as the dramatisation, I mention that

:04:52. > :04:56.it is real people telling their stories. We can have a look at that

:04:57. > :05:00.now. In the case of homosexuals, the law and public opinion were

:05:01. > :05:05.distinctly against them. So I think the whole climate was opposed to the

:05:06. > :05:11.building of relationships. In fact I think many gay people half believed,

:05:12. > :05:18.because they were told so often, that if they were gay, you could not

:05:19. > :05:26.have a relationship. It was a no-no, so I had to be on my own. And so

:05:27. > :05:30.I've been used to it since childhood, being alone. Never

:05:31. > :05:38.enjoyed it, I can tell you, it was awful. But that's the way it is.

:05:39. > :05:44.Some of it, it's just heartbreaking and Richard. As a young man yourself

:05:45. > :05:49.now, obviously, you are an actor, but you must have thoughts on what

:05:50. > :05:52.people had to go through? Absolutely, you think about the

:05:53. > :05:56.paranoia at the time to get into the character. This was a time when

:05:57. > :06:02.police were raising dossiers on how to spot a homosexual man. How a

:06:03. > :06:05.homosexual man might look or dress or speak. You think about the

:06:06. > :06:09.paranoia at the time, you think about the stakes, it was massive

:06:10. > :06:13.stakes, just falling in love with somebody, coming out that extreme

:06:14. > :06:18.criminal cost. You need to think about that when you get into

:06:19. > :06:21.character. Interesting you say that, I was with some friends and saw a

:06:22. > :06:26.gay man come to Maudsley in Liverpool and crossed over because

:06:27. > :06:34.he was overtly gay and very camp. And he battered me for not accepting

:06:35. > :06:38.who he was. It was a great lesson to learn, it was horrendous, but I was

:06:39. > :06:45.with my straight friends. I'm not gay! And I got a smack in the face

:06:46. > :06:49.for it! It's really interesting, it's a drama and a document

:06:50. > :07:00.recompiled, which William trusting. Against The Law is on BBC Two

:07:01. > :08:34.tonight at 9pm. In a few moments, we'll be finding out about the

:08:35. > :08:36.I'll be back at half past one with the lunchtime news.

:08:37. > :08:51.Once a prohibitively expensive luxury, now a modern addiction -

:08:52. > :08:54.sugar and sweets have been a British obsession since the Tudor period.

:08:55. > :08:57.Now, a new BBC series follows four modern confectioners

:08:58. > :08:59.as they recreate the treats of the past, and explore

:09:00. > :09:06.how our national sweet tooth developed over 400 years.

:09:07. > :09:08.Cynthia Stroud, is one of the confectioners on the show

:09:09. > :09:11.and is the founder of cake company Pretty Gorgeous Cakes.

:09:12. > :09:21.It is absolutely fascinating. You have gone back in time, using the

:09:22. > :09:24.skills that you have, and recreated sweet things from the Tudor age.

:09:25. > :09:30.Just tell us what was the first thing you were struck by when you

:09:31. > :09:33.had to go back and start doing this? We thought, you know, we understood

:09:34. > :09:38.the premise of the show, we thought we were going to go back there and

:09:39. > :09:43.recreate the sweets that they had, using their methods and stuff. And

:09:44. > :09:46.we were told we were going in this beautiful Tudor kitchen. I walked in

:09:47. > :09:53.and my first thought was, where is the kitchen money to give you an

:09:54. > :09:56.idea, you think you would see an oven, utensils... There was nothing.

:09:57. > :10:02.Stone floors, wooden table, where is the oven? And I realised, that was

:10:03. > :10:08.when it hit me, this is a lot more serious than we thought! So, the

:10:09. > :10:13.cooking conditions were not what you are used to, but also the shape and

:10:14. > :10:17.form of the sugar, which was a real rarity then, right at the beginning

:10:18. > :10:22.of sugar being available at all, was completely different? Totally. I

:10:23. > :10:27.felt like hugging my bag of icing when I got back home. You think you

:10:28. > :10:32.know what sugar looks like. But you're given this cone which looks

:10:33. > :10:37.nothing like sugar. It is like a block? It is, and has you're looking

:10:38. > :10:42.at it, you think, I know what this is going to feel like, it's going to

:10:43. > :10:46.be soft. It's solid! It is like carving from a block, and then

:10:47. > :10:50.having to clean it! You don't think about having to clean sugar, do you?

:10:51. > :10:55.No, we just think it arrives pristine! It's absolutely

:10:56. > :11:00.fascinating. And so many things came out of it, for example, recipes did

:11:01. > :11:05.not have measurements in them, and you have experience of that? Yeah,

:11:06. > :11:10.I'm used to not having proper recipes, I didn't grow up here, I

:11:11. > :11:16.grew up back in Africa, in Nigeria, where recipes are handed down to you

:11:17. > :11:20.verbally, a handful of this, do this... And when the soup looks like

:11:21. > :11:25.this, it is ready... So we did not have that, so I've done a lot of

:11:26. > :11:29.things, trial and error. So I wasn't fazed by that perspective it. But

:11:30. > :11:34.what I was not expecting was to not have any sort of equipment or any

:11:35. > :11:38.tools that I recognised at all. I knew there wasn't going to be a

:11:39. > :11:41.table top mixer, but I thought at least there would be a whisk. But

:11:42. > :11:48.instead, there were twigs, twigs tied together, so as your beating

:11:49. > :11:53.the egg, it is breaking off! There is a phrase, too many cooks in the

:11:54. > :11:57.kitchen. There's four of you, you're all highly esteemed in your field of

:11:58. > :12:00.making sweet items - and you have differences along the way of how to

:12:01. > :12:05.handle stuff? Not at all. Was fantastic. We all had different

:12:06. > :12:08.areas of expertise, and there were two chocolatiers who got on

:12:09. > :12:12.fantastically. We have all stayed really good friends and we have

:12:13. > :12:18.formed a group. They were messaging me this morning. What was the thing

:12:19. > :12:31.which was your particular area? I'm a cake maker. We do things like

:12:32. > :12:34.that, even now. So, we all got on really, really well. And some of the

:12:35. > :12:38.history of sugar is incredibly uncomfortable, because it has to do

:12:39. > :12:42.with the slave trade, doesn't it? Yeah, I was not expecting that. Were

:12:43. > :12:49.you not? No, I wasn't expecting to learn that. Obviously, the producers

:12:50. > :12:54.had to withhold information from us, so we don't go off researching and

:12:55. > :12:58.ruining the bit where we find out, like the viewer, what it is like in

:12:59. > :13:02.that era. So we didn't know much about what we were going to be

:13:03. > :13:06.doing, just that it was going to cover that period. So when they sat

:13:07. > :13:11.us down and said, come on here about this, I thought it was going to be

:13:12. > :13:14.about the new recipe. And then emerged this absolutely horrific

:13:15. > :13:19.story of what it was like, and I was just blown away. I thought, does

:13:20. > :13:21.everybody know this? Growing up in Africa, I certainly did not learn

:13:22. > :13:26.much about slavery, and I was shocked. Programme is a learning

:13:27. > :13:28.curve, in many ways. Lovely to see you here this morning. It's really

:13:29. > :13:34.excellent. The Sweet Makers, a Georgian treat,

:13:35. > :13:37.is on BBC Two tonight at 8 o'clock. That's all from us this morning,

:13:38. > :13:46.Naga and I will be back Matt Baker and the rest of the Wild
