:00:00. > :00:00.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Naga

:00:00. > :00:11.A major step towards creating a new immigration policy

:00:12. > :00:19.Ministers launch a study into the role of EU nationals living

:00:20. > :00:39.But critics claim it is too little, too late.

:00:40. > :00:42.Good morning, it is Thursday 27 July.

:00:43. > :00:44.Also this morning: Should you stop taking antibiotics before finishing

:00:45. > :00:52.That is the suggestion from one group of experts,

:00:53. > :00:57.Prince William prepares for his final shift as an air

:00:58. > :01:02.ambulance pilot before becoming a full-time royal.

:01:03. > :01:06.As the Government plans to phase out petrol and diesel cars by 2040,

:01:07. > :01:09.is the UK car industry ready to go electric?

:01:10. > :01:13.I will look at what it could mean for us, and for our big carmakers.

:01:14. > :01:15.In sport: Adam Peaty completes the double-double

:01:16. > :01:19.He wins gold in the 50 metres breaststroke,

:01:20. > :01:21.and narrowly misses out on breaking his own world record.

:01:22. > :01:36.Good morning. Today is a day of sunshine and showers. Some of the

:01:37. > :01:40.showers will be heavy and thundery, and some of them will merge, giving

:01:41. > :01:44.longer spells of rain across north-west Scotland. But it is also

:01:45. > :01:46.going to be pretty windy. I will have more details in 15 minutes.

:01:47. > :01:50.First, our main story: It is being described as a major

:01:51. > :01:53.step in developing a new immigration policy for Britain, post-Brexit.

:01:54. > :01:55.The Home Secretary, Amber Rudd, is asking independent migration

:01:56. > :01:58.experts to analyse the role of EU nationals living and working

:01:59. > :02:05.They will report back next September, six months before

:02:06. > :02:07.the UK's deadline to leave the European Union.

:02:08. > :02:10.However, critics say the study has been commissioned too late.

:02:11. > :02:13.Our political correspondent Iain Watson is in Westminster for us.

:02:14. > :02:17.Iain, why has this assessment been commissioned now?

:02:18. > :02:26.It is so close to the end of negotiations. Absolutely. I am at

:02:27. > :02:29.Westminster, of course, and the MPs are on holidays and it is

:02:30. > :02:34.interesting this has been announced when it can't necessarily be

:02:35. > :02:37.scrutinised by parliamentarians. The announcement, as you say, comes

:02:38. > :02:40.today but the report doesn't come until September and although we are

:02:41. > :02:45.leaving the European Union in 2019, that looks as though there will be

:02:46. > :02:48.plenty of time, don't forget the government has to get a new

:02:49. > :02:53.emigration bill through towards 2019 as well, so some suggest this is

:02:54. > :02:56.leaving it rather late in the day. A major study will look at the impact

:02:57. > :03:00.of EU migration in Britain, looking at what will happen if you cut

:03:01. > :03:04.migration in certain industries and certain regions of the country. It

:03:05. > :03:06.will also look at whether low skilled immigration has had an

:03:07. > :03:11.adverse effect on the British economy as well. Some critics are

:03:12. > :03:16.saying in effect the government is preparing the ground to soften its

:03:17. > :03:21.stance on immigration, to take a flexible stance when free movement

:03:22. > :03:24.ends, potentially, in 2019, and Amber Rudd, who commissioned this,

:03:25. > :03:28.has made it clear they will be what is called an implementation period

:03:29. > :03:30.after the exit. We might still see quite high levels of immigration --

:03:31. > :03:33.after Brexit. The notion that you should always

:03:34. > :03:36.finish a course of antibiotics, even if you feel better,

:03:37. > :03:39.is being challenged by a group Writing in the British Medical

:03:40. > :03:43.Journal, they argue taking antibiotics for longer

:03:44. > :03:45.than necessary can raise the risk of developing a resistance

:03:46. > :03:47.to the drugs. But the Government's chief medical

:03:48. > :03:49.officer says people shouldn't change their behaviour

:03:50. > :04:01.because of one study. Growing resistance to antibiotics is

:04:02. > :04:05.an increasing problem around the world. They have become less

:04:06. > :04:10.effective, because we take so many of them. That means deadly

:04:11. > :04:15.infections spread more easily. Now, some researchers say it is time to

:04:16. > :04:19.end the blanket description that every course should be completed.

:04:20. > :04:23.Writing in the British Medical Journal, the group of experts claim

:04:24. > :04:27.there is no evidence that stopping some antibiotic treatment early

:04:28. > :04:31.increases the risk of infection. They accept more research is needed,

:04:32. > :04:37.but suggest new advice, like stock taking them when you feel better,

:04:38. > :04:42.could help -- stop taking them. There is already an NHS campaign to

:04:43. > :04:45.cut the use of antibiotics. The Chief Medical Officer says the

:04:46. > :04:50.evidence will be reviewed, but that for now the message remains, you

:04:51. > :04:54.should stick to prescriptions and always follow the doctor's advice.

:04:55. > :04:57.The parents of the terminally ill baby Charlie Gard have until midday

:04:58. > :05:00.to agree with Great Ormond Street Hospital how his life will end.

:05:01. > :05:03.They have accepted that Charlie will spend his last days

:05:04. > :05:07.in a hospice, rather than at home, but Chris Gard and Connie Yates

:05:08. > :05:10.are asking to spend more time with their son before life support

:05:11. > :05:17.Wildfires are continuing to burn in parts of southern France.

:05:18. > :05:20.Thousands of people have been forced to leave their homes and campsites

:05:21. > :05:21.around the town of Bormes-les-Mimosas.

:05:22. > :05:24.Many are spending a second night on beaches, or in sports halls

:05:25. > :05:34.At least 6,000 firefighters and troops are now battling the flames.

:05:35. > :05:40.For a third night, the skies glowed red in southern France,

:05:41. > :05:41.as fierce wildfires continued

:05:42. > :05:47.Hillsides engulfed by flames in Bormes-les-Mimosas,

:05:48. > :05:53.Local residents joining firefighters to battle the blaze that has forced

:05:54. > :05:57.the evacuation of over 10,000 people.

:05:58. > :06:00.Having watched the flames inch closer and closer on Wednesday,

:06:01. > :06:02.thousands of tourists took the chance to flee.

:06:03. > :06:05.Many had spent the last two nights in the public shelters or camping

:06:06. > :06:18.TRANSLATION: We evacuate because the fire is coming

:06:19. > :06:19.close to the place,

:06:20. > :06:24.We left with our clothes and a little food.

:06:25. > :06:28.Residents who fled the flames have now begun to return to assess

:06:29. > :06:29.the damage to their homes and properties,

:06:30. > :06:39.TRANSLATION: All of a sudden, we were in front of a wall

:06:40. > :06:41.of flames, near the cypress trees.

:06:42. > :06:47.We took some belongings, we took the two dogs,

:06:48. > :06:52.TRANSLATION: I climbed high on the crest, and I saw a picture

:06:53. > :06:54.of desolation, because all the camping was surrounded

:06:55. > :06:56.with flames, and we couldn't do anything.

:06:57. > :06:59.Meeting some of the crews and volunteers on the frontline,

:07:00. > :07:00.French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe said

:07:01. > :07:05.there would be an enquiry into the fire's cause,

:07:06. > :07:10.which some have blamed on an arsonists.

:07:11. > :07:15.The powerful and destructive combination of heat and wind set

:07:16. > :07:17.to fuel these fires, and test these firefighters once again.

:07:18. > :07:22.The Prime Minister has said the Conservatives have come a long

:07:23. > :07:26.way on the issue of gay rights, but that there is still more to do

:07:27. > :07:29.Theresa May was marking the 50th anniversary today of the partial

:07:30. > :07:31.decriminalisation of homosexuality in England and Wales.

:07:32. > :07:35.It meant homosexuality amongst men over the age of 21 was no longer

:07:36. > :07:45.An extraordinary number of unlawful sentences are being imposed in

:07:46. > :07:48.criminal cases because the legislation is so complicated,

:07:49. > :07:54.according to the Independent Roddy which advises the government. --

:07:55. > :07:59.independent body. They suggest that laws should be simplified into one

:08:00. > :08:01.document to ensure that people get the justice they deserve.

:08:02. > :08:04.The police watchdog says figures gathered by the BBC suggest

:08:05. > :08:06.there are major inconsistencies in the way police forces

:08:07. > :08:08.across England and Wales are enforcing drug-driving laws.

:08:09. > :08:10.Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary said data

:08:11. > :08:13.from a Radio one Newsbeat investigation indicated some forces

:08:14. > :08:24.They are on the lookout for anyone who might have taken drugs and got

:08:25. > :08:53.The driver is tested for drugs using a sample of his saliva,

:08:54. > :08:55.and it comes back positive for cannabis.

:08:56. > :08:58.I'm going to place you under arrest on suapicion

:08:59. > :09:04.He is arrested, which means a trip back to the station,

:09:05. > :09:09.If found guilty, he faces a minimum 12-month driving ban,

:09:10. > :09:11.and could be sentenced to up to six

:09:12. > :09:15.Since the law changed on drug-driving two years ago,

:09:16. > :09:19.it is now illegal to have a certain level of up to 17 drugs

:09:20. > :09:21.in your system and get behind the wheel.

:09:22. > :09:24.Eight of them are illegal ones, like cannabis, ecstasy and cocaine,

:09:25. > :09:27.and nine of them are prescription drugs, ones

:09:28. > :09:31.We asked all 43 forces in England and Wales how many drug-driving

:09:32. > :09:33.arrests they have made since the change.

:09:34. > :09:36.To try to get some sense of comparison between forces,

:09:37. > :09:39.we divided that by the number of officers each one has.

:09:40. > :09:42.Some forces made one arrest for every one or two officers,

:09:43. > :09:45.others made one arrest for every 19, 24, or 28 officers.

:09:46. > :09:47.These figures must be treated with caution,

:09:48. > :09:49.because they don't take into account if drug-driving is more

:09:50. > :09:52.or less common in different parts of England and Wales,

:09:53. > :09:55.and the police watchdog says they can only offer a snapshot

:09:56. > :09:58.into how this law is policed, but do provide interesting insight

:09:59. > :10:01.into the much wider issue of drug driving.

:10:02. > :10:10.Is an Inspectorate we would ask that they check that they are being as

:10:11. > :10:14.careful as they should be. The inspector says they sometimes had to

:10:15. > :10:16.share resources, to meet demands to keep the public safe.

:10:17. > :10:23.President Trump's new spokesman has said he is 100% certain the US

:10:24. > :10:26.will be able strike a trade deal with the UK after Brexit.

:10:27. > :10:28.Anthony Scaramucci, the White House communications director,

:10:29. > :10:31.told the BBC's Newsnight programme that Mr Trump loved the UK,

:10:32. > :10:34.and he highlighted the special relationship between the two

:10:35. > :10:43.countries as a reason why he believed a deal would be agreed.

:10:44. > :10:51.So think about the special relationship we have had since the

:10:52. > :10:55.creation of this great nation. This nation was a group of guys who

:10:56. > :10:59.thought you know what? We are going to break away from the other nation

:11:00. > :11:04.and start our own country. This is a disruptive start up. You know the

:11:05. > :11:07.President is doing? We are going to... Does that mean making

:11:08. > :11:12.concessions to do trade with the UK? Does it mean you will meet us

:11:13. > :11:16.halfway? Does it mean we have to give in to you? No, I don't think

:11:17. > :11:19.so. He is about reciprocity. He is about fair and equal trade.

:11:20. > :11:21.Now, alien life might be living closer to us

:11:22. > :11:25.A study suggests that every one of us contains atoms that originated

:11:26. > :11:29.Scientists in the US have discovered that up to half the matter

:11:30. > :11:33.which makes up the sun, the earth, and even our own bodies,

:11:34. > :11:36.used to belong to other clusters of stars and was blown

:11:37. > :11:40.Until now, galaxies were thought to have been formed largely

:11:41. > :11:44.The Duke of Cambridge will begin his last shift as an air

:11:45. > :11:47.ambulance pilot today, before taking up his royal duties full-time.

:11:48. > :11:49.For the past two years, he has been working

:11:50. > :11:51.for the East Anglian Air Ambulance service.

:11:52. > :11:55.Writing in the Eastern Daily Press this morning, he says he has been

:11:56. > :12:02.Our royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell reports.

:12:03. > :12:09.It is a job which has clearly meant a great deal to him, to work as a

:12:10. > :12:14.member of the emergency services, valued for what he does rather than

:12:15. > :12:18.who he is. Flying an air ambulance and helping to save lives. It was

:12:19. > :12:22.more than two years ago that William first reported for duty with the

:12:23. > :12:26.East Anglian Air Ambulance. He had finished as an RAF search and rescue

:12:27. > :12:30.pilot, but chose to retrain and qualify for this new role. On his

:12:31. > :12:34.first morning he explained how much it mattered to him. I am just

:12:35. > :12:38.fantastically excited to be here today, the first day. It has been a

:12:39. > :12:42.long time coming. It has been many exams and training to get here, and

:12:43. > :12:46.I am hugely excited to be joining a very professional bunch of guys and

:12:47. > :12:51.girls, doing some unique, complex jobs with the air ambulance. In the

:12:52. > :12:54.months since, William has piloted the air ambulance to scores of

:12:55. > :12:59.emergencies. He has seen tragedy and extreme emotion in close quarters.

:13:00. > :13:02.Writing in the eastern daily press this morning he says he is hugely

:13:03. > :13:04.grateful for having had the experience. He says it has instilled

:13:05. > :13:15.in him... After tonight's shift, William will

:13:16. > :13:20.embark on the role which has been his destiny, as a full-time, working

:13:21. > :13:23.member of the British Royal family, taking on more responsibilities in

:13:24. > :13:31.support of his grandmother, but with what are clearly deeply embedded

:13:32. > :13:33.memories of his time as pilot William Wales of the East Anglian

:13:34. > :13:48.Air Ambulance servers. Haven't we had some great news?

:13:49. > :13:52.Well, Adam Peaty has had a great week. He wanted to see what was left

:13:53. > :13:53.in the tank, and gold was left in the tank.

:13:54. > :13:56.Britain's Adam Peaty says he has been on a rollercoaster of emotions

:13:57. > :13:59.this week, after he won his second gold at the World Aquatic

:14:00. > :14:02.He won the 50 metres breaststroke title yesterday,

:14:03. > :14:05.adding to the 100 metres he won on Monday.

:14:06. > :14:07.But he just missed breaking his own world record,

:14:08. > :14:09.winning with a time of 25.99 seconds.

:14:10. > :14:12.12-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic won't play again this

:14:13. > :14:16.It means he will miss this year's US Open.

:14:17. > :14:24.He says he has been struggling with the injury for 18 months.

:14:25. > :14:27.England's cricketers will look to retake a series lead

:14:28. > :14:30.against South Africa when the third Test starts later at the Oval.

:14:31. > :14:32.Middlesex's Toby Roland-Jones will make his Test debut.

:14:33. > :14:34.The series is currently level at 1-1.

:14:35. > :14:38.There was frustration for Celtic as they were held to a goalless draw

:14:39. > :14:40.by Norwegian champions Rosenborg in the first leg

:14:41. > :14:46.of their Champions League third-round qualifier.

:14:47. > :14:56.Interesting to see Novak Djokovic said that his injury is worse than

:14:57. > :15:01.he wanted to admit. If you saw him at Wimbledon, you would understand.

:15:02. > :15:04.It is not going to get better. It is the trend, rest. We will look at the

:15:05. > :15:06.papers in a moment. Here's Carol with a look

:15:07. > :15:15.at this morning's weather. Seems to be more rain around. Yes,

:15:16. > :15:20.you are quite right. Sunshine and showers are some of us have some

:15:21. > :15:24.rain, and we will all see some rain and showers in the next couple of

:15:25. > :15:29.days. That is forecast for today. Some of the showers heavy and

:15:30. > :15:34.thundery possibly. We have low pressure driving the weather. The

:15:35. > :15:38.centre is close to the north-west. Some of the showers will merge in

:15:39. > :15:45.Scotland and longer spells of rain accompanied by dusty wind. The wind

:15:46. > :15:49.picking up this evening. So it is dry to start and bright. Showers

:15:50. > :15:54.will get going, as is the way with showers, hit and miss. They could be

:15:55. > :16:00.heavy and thundery. It will be quite breezy as well. That will accentuate

:16:01. > :16:07.the chilly feel if you are in the shower. Into the afternoon, in

:16:08. > :16:12.Leeds, 17 Celsius and the concoction of bright spells, sunshine and

:16:13. > :16:17.showers. When I say bright spells, winning areas of cloud. It will be

:16:18. > :16:22.bright although you won't have the sunshine. Temperatures in Plymouth

:16:23. > :16:26.around 17 and in Wales it is a mixture of right spells, sunshine

:16:27. > :16:30.and showers. You will be dodging the showers through the course of the

:16:31. > :16:35.day. Northern Ireland has a similar story. It is breezy in the

:16:36. > :16:39.north-west coast, it is breezy in the west coast of Scotland, later on

:16:40. > :16:43.the wind will pick up, touching gales in exposed areas, and inland

:16:44. > :16:50.Scotland has bright spells, sunshine and showers. Overnight, some of the

:16:51. > :16:53.showers will fade. As a system comes in across western Scotland and

:16:54. > :16:58.Northern Ireland, we will see a period of rain and windy conditions.

:16:59. > :17:03.The rain moving steadily eastwards. Dry weather around overnight.

:17:04. > :17:08.Temperatures similar to the night just gone. Tomorrow, and not start

:17:09. > :17:12.on a bright and right note with some sunshine. You can see the cloud

:17:13. > :17:16.building through the day. There will be further showers across from the

:17:17. > :17:19.west to the east. This band of rain comes from the south-west and it

:17:20. > :17:25.will spread north-east was through the day. Some of this could prove to

:17:26. > :17:29.be heavy. On the plus note, if you are in northern England, it will be

:17:30. > :17:36.a fine day. And if you are setting up tomorrow at the festival, rain on

:17:37. > :17:42.the way. However, the northern edge of the rain is still open to

:17:43. > :17:47.question. On Saturday, cloud in the south-east, maybe some rain. We will

:17:48. > :17:51.see rain in central southern England and East Anglia. Showers cross from

:17:52. > :17:55.the north. In between, dry and bright weather. And they look on

:17:56. > :17:59.Sunday. We are back into this regime of sunshine and showers and quite

:18:00. > :18:06.breezy with highs in any sunshine up to 22 degrees. Charlie and Naga, how

:18:07. > :18:09.many ways can you say sunshine and showers and make it more

:18:10. > :18:17.interesting? Showers and sunshine. That is harder to say. Anyway that

:18:18. > :18:23.Carol says it is interesting. Good morning. We are talking about cars

:18:24. > :18:27.later. Really interesting. And not in the papers about it. And on the

:18:28. > :18:32.front page, the announcement yesterday, calling air plan

:18:33. > :18:36.condemned as weak and inadequate, this is on the banning of petrol and

:18:37. > :18:40.diesel cars from 2040 and the measures which may come into place

:18:41. > :18:45.for local authorities in between. These pictures in quite a couple of

:18:46. > :18:51.the papers, the fires in the south of France. We will keep you posted

:18:52. > :18:55.on those. Problems with the wildfires. They are happening in the

:18:56. > :19:01.south of France. Holidaymakers forced to sleep on the beach while

:19:02. > :19:05.firefighters tackle the blazes. A couple of stories, one we are

:19:06. > :19:10.looking at, finishing antibiotics could harm you. A report in the

:19:11. > :19:16.British Medical Journal says you may not need to take antibiotics for the

:19:17. > :19:19.full course and that there might be justification to stop taking

:19:20. > :19:26.antibiotics when you feel better. Some doctors say you can't rely on

:19:27. > :19:30.just one report. And care home cover-up is the lead story. It is an

:19:31. > :19:36.investigation taking a look at the suspected attack of an autistic man

:19:37. > :19:41.by a high risk sex offender in a care home. There is investigation

:19:42. > :19:48.into that. Those stories reflected in the Daily Telegraph. Ben, the

:19:49. > :19:52.electric car story? It talks about how it focuses the mind, this is

:19:53. > :19:57.inside the Daily Telegraph, talking about changing habits. The deadline

:19:58. > :20:03.is 23 years away. Will it change what we think about buying cars? Yes

:20:04. > :20:07.and no. If you are in the showroom and thinking about making a

:20:08. > :20:11.purchase, maybe you would consider a hybrid car which uses electricity

:20:12. > :20:15.and traditional fuel. A lot of questions. We will try to answer

:20:16. > :20:20.them this morning on where the electricity will come from and what

:20:21. > :20:24.it means for hybrid cars. Still lots of questions. Nonetheless the

:20:25. > :20:29.consensus with a lot of people I spoke with yesterday is that this is

:20:30. > :20:32.23 years away. There is concern about the logistics that go with it

:20:33. > :20:38.and whether it will change minds before the deadline in 2040. 23

:20:39. > :20:42.years to get used to it. You probably won't be driving the car

:20:43. > :20:47.that you buy now in 23 years. And also whether it is redundant

:20:48. > :20:53.technology in 2040. We'll petrol and diesel cars still be around? They

:20:54. > :20:59.are banning something that might not be used anyway. I am so used to it.

:21:00. > :21:04.I will give you some Adam Peaty news. We talked about what he eats,

:21:05. > :21:11.how he trains, the music you listen is to he likes grime, likes Dr Dre,

:21:12. > :21:14.and sometimes he says he feels like listening to classical music.

:21:15. > :21:18.Anything that makes him feel aggressive to get into the pool and

:21:19. > :21:21.put on performances. They get very pumped. A lot of it is

:21:22. > :21:28.psychological. It is all about mindset. We are talking to his mum

:21:29. > :21:34.and gran later. And something in the Express, Wayne Rooney has played his

:21:35. > :21:39.first match for Everton, but he is going to be playing at Goodison Park

:21:40. > :21:43.for them tonight. And lots of the papers this morning talking about

:21:44. > :21:49.Ross Barkley, Ronald Kunin, Everton manager, has been really candid. And

:21:50. > :21:54.how often do we see that? When you see them fight the answer. He is

:21:55. > :21:59.honest and he said he wants to leave and that is how it is. If I hold up

:22:00. > :22:08.this chart, you get the idea. How strong do you take your tea is the

:22:09. > :22:15.question. You have one, two, three, four A, B, C, D. It is a highly

:22:16. > :22:23.underrated skill. When someone makes you a very good cup of tea. Where

:22:24. > :22:33.would you be, Naga? I always match it with my collar. I would either be

:22:34. > :22:37.1D or 2C. OK. This is what we have to put up with if you make Naga a

:22:38. > :22:42.cup of tea in the morning. When was the last time you made me a cup of

:22:43. > :22:46.tea? That is why. There was a discussion between three people this

:22:47. > :22:51.morning on how you like your tea before you even got here. That is

:22:52. > :22:55.how nervous everyone is. It is because they care. Shall I rescue

:22:56. > :22:57.the situation? I am enjoying this! Thank you.

:22:58. > :23:00.The need for food banks is well documented but now a charity says

:23:01. > :23:02.growing numbers are facing so-called hygiene poverty,

:23:03. > :23:04.where people are unable to afford products such

:23:05. > :23:09.In Kind Direct surveyed 1,000 people and found almost 40% said they had

:23:10. > :23:11.gone without or cut back on essential toiletries

:23:12. > :23:15.Breakfast's Jayne McCubbin has been to see how a pilot project

:23:16. > :23:18.in Scotland is providing free sanitary products for women on low

:23:19. > :23:35.Jacob has just turned one but when he was born his mum bled heavily.

:23:36. > :23:40.Struggling to get by on her husband's salary, she had to ask for

:23:41. > :23:47.help. I was going through sanitary towels and maternity pads. I had to

:23:48. > :23:52.ask help from friends and family which was great. It is unfair that

:23:53. > :23:57.we have to pay a lot of money to get something that is basic. In this

:23:58. > :24:01.Dundee food bank people tell me it is an expense that they struggle to

:24:02. > :24:08.meet each month, that period poverty is a reality. You're not the only

:24:09. > :24:17.woman in your house? No. I have a daughter. You need those. You have

:24:18. > :24:22.to work out what it will be, gas, electric, you need food, other

:24:23. > :24:27.things first. If this is a problem, how widespread is it? Today a survey

:24:28. > :24:32.speaks of wider hygiene poverty. 37% of those questioned said they had to

:24:33. > :24:38.go without hygiene essentials due to a lack of funds. That figure rose to

:24:39. > :24:45.56% amongst 18- 24 -year-olds. How big is this issue for people? What

:24:46. > :24:49.are women telling you? One of the most harrowing stories was an

:24:50. > :24:52.encounter with a lady who had to supplement the use of sanitary items

:24:53. > :24:57.with newspaper. That was heartbreaking. Earlier this year

:24:58. > :25:03.reports of girls missing school because they couldn't afford to

:25:04. > :25:06.towels and tampons led to a promise in Westminster to look into the

:25:07. > :25:11.possibility of offering free products in schools and colleges in

:25:12. > :25:18.England. One Welsh council is doing the same. The government in Scotland

:25:19. > :25:22.has gone further. It has launched a six-month pilot scheme to give away

:25:23. > :25:26.products like this to women on low incomes. Depending on how that

:25:27. > :25:30.scheme goes it could be rolled out across the country, making Scotland

:25:31. > :25:37.the first in the world to give away sanitary items to women who can't

:25:38. > :25:41.afford it. I want to eradicate... Some want to see even more women and

:25:42. > :25:47.girls benefit. Some want to write for free sanitary products in

:25:48. > :25:51.Scotland to be universal. -- right. Open to all. I think it should be

:25:52. > :25:55.for all women. There could be people watching who say this is a matter of

:25:56. > :26:01.prioritised something that is not an expensive product. It can be very

:26:02. > :26:06.expensive, particularly over a woman's lifetime. It is a case of,

:26:07. > :26:10.if men had periods, we wouldn't have this conversation. What would you

:26:11. > :26:15.say to the men who might be watching who say, I don't get a free razor,

:26:16. > :26:19.why should women have free sanitary products? I don't get free raises

:26:20. > :26:25.either. You can cope with stubble but you cannot cope with menstrual

:26:26. > :26:28.blood. It isn't the same. It is an unavoidable expense which should

:26:29. > :26:34.become a tiny bit cheaper in April next year, that is when VAT on these

:26:35. > :26:38.sanitary products is scrapped. But Scotland is leading the way in

:26:39. > :26:40.helping to make these essential items free for some, possibly for

:26:41. > :26:48.all. We are going to speak with a hygiene

:26:49. > :26:50.poverty campaigner in about one hour.

:26:51. > :30:07.Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

:30:08. > :30:17.Plenty more on our website at the usual address.

:30:18. > :30:20.Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Naga

:30:21. > :30:30.We will bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment.

:30:31. > :30:34.But also on Breakfast this morning: The end of the road could be

:30:35. > :30:39.So how will the Government's plans to ban new sales by 2040

:30:40. > :30:44.Also this morning: As powerful Peaty completes a double-double

:30:45. > :30:47.at the World Championships, we will speak to his biggest fan

:30:48. > :30:54.And, after 9:00am, a wife finds her husband's love letters

:30:55. > :30:59.We will be joined by the writer of a powerful new BBC drama,

:31:00. > :31:09.But now a summary of this morning's main news:

:31:10. > :31:13.It is being described as a major step in developing a new immigration

:31:14. > :31:16.The Home Secretary, Amber Rudd, is asking independent migration

:31:17. > :31:19.experts to analyse the role of EU nationals living and working

:31:20. > :31:25.They will report back next September, six months before

:31:26. > :31:27.the UK's deadline to leave the European Union.

:31:28. > :31:30.However, critics say the study has been commissioned too late.

:31:31. > :31:33.Our political correspondent Iain Watson is in Westminster for us.

:31:34. > :31:35.Iain, why has this assessment been commissioned now?

:31:36. > :31:41.That criticism will be quite loud considering there is no one to

:31:42. > :31:47.debate this. It is empty behind me, because it is the recess. MPs went

:31:48. > :31:50.off last Thursday, so of course this announcement could have been made

:31:51. > :31:54.reasonably about a week ago. And I think what is interesting is this is

:31:55. > :31:58.a major study into EU migration. It is something which I think people

:31:59. > :32:03.would want to comment on, the broad thrust of it, looking at what areas

:32:04. > :32:08.in Britain might be impacted if we cut EU migration. Four out of ten

:32:09. > :32:12.migrants last year came from the EU. Also what industries would be

:32:13. > :32:15.affected. Interesting that Amber Rudd was riding in the FT this

:32:16. > :32:20.morning, a business newspaper, about her plans as well. So I think the

:32:21. > :32:24.government wants to reassure business there will be no cliff edge

:32:25. > :32:29.after Britain leaves the European Union after 2019. In other words,

:32:30. > :32:32.that the government takes a flexible approach to immigration after that

:32:33. > :32:36.time. Therefore it may be the case that some MPs could have criticised

:32:37. > :32:40.the government had they been here, on two fronts. Some saying they

:32:41. > :32:44.should have done this year ago, after the referendum, and others

:32:45. > :32:49.saying are we sticking with our guns, are we really going to be

:32:50. > :32:50.about controlling migration after Brexit.

:32:51. > :32:53.The notion that you should always finish a course of antibiotics,

:32:54. > :32:56.even if you feel better, is being challenged by a group

:32:57. > :33:00.Writing in the British Medical Journal, it is argued that taking

:33:01. > :33:03.antibiotics for longer than necessary can raise the risk

:33:04. > :33:05.of developing a resistance to the drugs.

:33:06. > :33:07.However, England's Chief Medical Officer says people shouldn't

:33:08. > :33:12.change their behaviour because of one study.

:33:13. > :33:15.Wildfires are continuing to burn in parts of southern France.

:33:16. > :33:18.Thousands of people have been forced to leave their homes and campsites

:33:19. > :33:19.around the town of Bormes-les-Mimosas.

:33:20. > :33:23.Many are spending a second night on beaches, or in sports halls

:33:24. > :33:31.At least 6,000 firefighters and troops are now battling the flames.

:33:32. > :33:33.The Prime Minister has said the Conservatives have come a long

:33:34. > :33:37.way on the issue of gay rights, but that there is still more to do

:33:38. > :33:41.Theresa May was marking the 50th anniversary today of the partial

:33:42. > :33:43.decriminalisation of homosexuality in England and Wales.

:33:44. > :33:46.It decriminalised homosexual acts in private between men aged

:33:47. > :33:53.One person has been killed and several injured

:33:54. > :33:56.after an accident on a ride at the Ohio State Fair.

:33:57. > :33:59.Fire chief Steve Martin told local media outlets victims were thrown

:34:00. > :34:02.from the Fireball spinning pendulum ride in the city of Columbus.

:34:03. > :34:05.At least one of the injured is in a critical condition.

:34:06. > :34:12.He said a full investigation would be carried out.

:34:13. > :34:15.There has been an angry reaction to President Trump's surprise

:34:16. > :34:21.decision to ban transgender people from the US armed forces.

:34:22. > :34:28.Hundreds of protesters gathered in Times Square, holding signs saying

:34:29. > :34:32.that resist, and we object. One of the most senior British Navy

:34:33. > :34:37.officials tweeted to say he was so proud of our transgender personnel.

:35:01. > :35:03.centre that had been holding the snow from the previous winter

:35:04. > :35:07.for the start of the new ski season. With July temperatures

:35:08. > :35:08.reaching 25 degrees, however, the bears' fun

:35:09. > :35:22.in the snow may be short-lived. For the moment they seem to be

:35:23. > :35:31.enjoying it. They look so happy. They do, don't they? And we are

:35:32. > :35:36.talking about Adam Peaty winning again. We will be talking to his

:35:37. > :35:38.grandmother later, and his mum. Looking forward to that. I know

:35:39. > :35:40.everybody has really got behind him. Britain's Adam Peaty says he is over

:35:41. > :35:44.the moon with his performances this week at the World Aquatic

:35:45. > :35:46.Championships in Budapest. He took the 50 metres

:35:47. > :35:48.breaststroke title yesterday, adding to the 100 metres he won

:35:49. > :35:52.on Monday, but he just missed out on breaking his own world

:35:53. > :35:55.record for the third time. He said he has been

:35:56. > :35:58.on a rollercoaster of emotions this week, breaking records,

:35:59. > :36:07.then getting back in the pool Yes, very good. It is quite

:36:08. > :36:11.exhausting coming out, switching off, switching on, especially the

:36:12. > :36:17.night with the double. I am so, so happy with my performances here.

:36:18. > :36:20.225 points now, and I know that there is more in that.

:36:21. > :36:23.I don't want to spoil it for next year.

:36:24. > :36:26.Peaty says he credits much of his success to his nan,

:36:27. > :36:30.You might remember her from the Rio Olympics last summer.

:36:31. > :36:33.She wasn't able to travel to Brazil because of ill health,

:36:34. > :36:36.so she watched Peaty's performances at her home in Staffordshire.

:36:37. > :36:39.She has been out to Budapest this time, though, and says she has been

:36:40. > :36:51.To be here at this time meant the world to me. It is very touching,

:36:52. > :36:57.really. I couldn't go and see him in Rio, but as I say, this has made up

:36:58. > :37:02.for everything. And I am so, so please I have come. And it is 20

:37:03. > :37:04.years since I have flown, but it was well worth it.

:37:05. > :37:07.12-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic won't play again this

:37:08. > :37:11.It means he will miss this year's US Open.

:37:12. > :37:12.Djokovic retired hurt during his quarter-final

:37:13. > :37:15.at Wimbledon, and said he was considering taking a break

:37:16. > :37:17.to recover from the long-standing injury.

:37:18. > :37:25.He says he doesn't need surgery, but rest is necessary.

:37:26. > :37:29.There was frustration for Celtic as they were held to a goalless draw

:37:30. > :37:31.by Norwegian champions Rosenborg in the first leg

:37:32. > :37:32.of their Champions League third-round qualifier.

:37:33. > :37:35.The sides meet again next Wednesday to decide which team progresses

:37:36. > :37:42.The loser will drop into the Europa League play-off round.

:37:43. > :37:51.Last season showed that we actually scored more goals away from home. So

:37:52. > :37:58.yes, it is still evenly balanced. It will be another week fitted, but we

:37:59. > :38:02.are pleased that other players are playing in the game, and in terms of

:38:03. > :38:03.a great atmosphere, we just need that little break.

:38:04. > :38:05.Two Home Nations could reach the quarter-finals

:38:06. > :38:06.of the Women's European Championship.

:38:07. > :38:10.But Scotland need to beat Spain by two goals to have any chance,

:38:11. > :38:13.and they also need England to beat Portugal, while Mark Sampson's side

:38:14. > :38:16.need just a point to qualify as winners of Group D.

:38:17. > :38:19.If they win without conceding a goal, they will become the first

:38:20. > :38:22.England side, male or female, to progress at a major tournament

:38:23. > :38:28.with a 100% record, and without conceding.

:38:29. > :38:34.We want to improve, we want to get better. We have said before we want

:38:35. > :38:38.to be the best team in the world, and so far we have had a good

:38:39. > :38:40.performance against Scotland, in other areas a good performance

:38:41. > :38:44.against Spain. It is about bringing those areas together and improving

:38:45. > :38:47.again and keeping those Mac that snowball rolling, because we want to

:38:48. > :38:51.go into the knockout stages feeling confident, feeling we are the team

:38:52. > :38:52.with momentum, and not only will we feel that but the other teams will

:38:53. > :38:54.feel it as well. England's cricketers will look

:38:55. > :38:56.to retake a series lead when they face South Africa

:38:57. > :38:59.in the third Test at the Oval. The series is level at 1-1,

:39:00. > :39:02.and former England captain Michael Vaughan criticised the side

:39:03. > :39:05.after their defeat last week at Trent Bridge, saying they had

:39:06. > :39:08.failed to respect Test cricket. Current captain Joe Root knows his

:39:09. > :39:16.team have to raise their game. It is very important to us as a side

:39:17. > :39:19.to remain true to each other. We are very honest in the dressing room. We

:39:20. > :39:23.know that we weren't good enough last week, but effort has never been

:39:24. > :39:27.the issue. And we have got a massive desire in there to go out this week

:39:28. > :39:28.and put a really strong performance in, and bounced back strong.

:39:29. > :39:33.50 sports have now agreed to sign up to a new set of guidelines imposed

:39:34. > :39:35.by the Government aimed at making national governing bodies more

:39:36. > :39:39.The Code for Sports Governance was published last year,

:39:40. > :39:42.and bodies such as the FA and British Cycling have now agreed

:39:43. > :39:46.The Government says it will mark the single biggest collective step

:39:47. > :39:51.forward in sports governance in the UK.

:39:52. > :39:57.It is absolutely essential that we have good governance for our

:39:58. > :40:01.sporting bodies. They receive public funding. It is therefore right that

:40:02. > :40:05.we have government structures in place, ensuring diversity not just

:40:06. > :40:08.at the board level but across the whole of the grassroots itself, and

:40:09. > :40:11.good governance will mean we have better decisions being taken, and

:40:12. > :40:12.sport will benefit as a consequence of that.

:40:13. > :40:15.England's wheelchair rugby league side have reached the World Cup

:40:16. > :40:27.Harry Jones suffered a seizure in two previous matches because of

:40:28. > :40:29.flash photography, and they are really concerned about it. England's

:40:30. > :40:34.players have reached the final. England were the final Home Nation

:40:35. > :40:36.left in the competition, after wins over Wales and an earlier

:40:37. > :40:39.victory over Australia. They beat the Australians again

:40:40. > :40:42.in Toulouse by 78-36, and they will now play hosts

:40:43. > :40:44.France or Italy on Friday. And finally, how about this for some

:40:45. > :40:47.remarkable ball skills - Jett, from Texas in the US,

:40:48. > :40:52.is seen here scoring one shot We don't know many takes

:40:53. > :40:56.there were to film this, but no matter - he is a superstar

:40:57. > :41:00.of the future, that's for sure. We suspect the offers of college

:41:01. > :41:14.scholarships won't be long And it has obviously being edited,

:41:15. > :41:20.but you see them do them consecutively, as well. I think he

:41:21. > :41:25.has a promising career. I wonder how young you can be signed up. I

:41:26. > :41:29.imagine quite young. I imagine he has attracted the attention of all

:41:30. > :41:35.sorts of sides. Charlie is not so sure. And his technique is very

:41:36. > :41:38.direct, it doesn't loop in. From the right to a trial by jury

:41:39. > :41:42.to pioneering so-called common law, the British legal system

:41:43. > :41:44.is admired the world over, and has influenced

:41:45. > :41:46.many other countries. However, is it still

:41:47. > :41:48.fit for purpose? The Law Commission says

:42:11. > :42:16.to the heart of our legal system, doesn't it? Looking at some of the

:42:17. > :42:21.figures, out of 262 randomly selected cases, 95, so almost one in

:42:22. > :42:25.three, was found to be wrong in law. That is the scale of what we are

:42:26. > :42:30.talking about. That's right. The judges have described the sentencing

:42:31. > :42:35.rules as a disgrace, and a former Lord Chief Justice called trying to

:42:36. > :42:40.understand them hell. So this is an exercise... It is called a

:42:41. > :42:45.sentencing code but really it is an exercise in decoding the

:42:46. > :42:49.overcomplicated rules which govern what sentences judges can pass in

:42:50. > :42:53.criminal cases. Have you got an example of a particular area that

:42:54. > :42:58.people will grasp straightaway as being especially complicated in

:42:59. > :43:03.terms of the law or the sentencing? Yes, I think one of the worst areas

:43:04. > :43:06.is dealing with juveniles. People between 16 or 21 where there is a

:43:07. > :43:10.whole different set of rules according to how old you are. And it

:43:11. > :43:15.is very difficult to work out sometimes exactly what sentences

:43:16. > :43:21.available for people. The code sets out as a sort of users' manual,

:43:22. > :43:26.exactly what powers judges have in terms of dealing with those kinds of

:43:27. > :43:31.cases and all kinds of cases. As the law commission say, we are looking

:43:32. > :43:35.at some laws which go back as far as the year 1461, they are still in

:43:36. > :43:39.force, and the rules are scattered across a huge number of different

:43:40. > :43:42.cases. So what this is doing is really putting all the different

:43:43. > :43:47.procedural rules on the same place, so that not only judges, but anybody

:43:48. > :43:52.who is interested can find out much more readily what the sentencing

:43:53. > :43:57.powers really are. It doesn't in any way limit the ability of judges to

:43:58. > :44:03.pass sentences. There is no shortening or lengthening of

:44:04. > :44:08.sentences. It just explains and sets down, really, in one place what they

:44:09. > :44:13.can do. You are a QC yourself. How often are these things rioted at the

:44:14. > :44:20.time? You say judges are describing their confusion, describing it as

:44:21. > :44:24.hell. Are these found many years later -- righted. Where are these

:44:25. > :44:28.mistakes discovered? Sometimes they are not discovered until the case

:44:29. > :44:31.gets to the Court of Appeal on different grounds. That is one of

:44:32. > :44:35.the bugbears of Court of Appeal judges, that somebody might appeal

:44:36. > :44:38.the sentence because they say it is too long, and when it gets to that

:44:39. > :44:41.level, to the appeal level, and people really scrutinise it

:44:42. > :44:45.thoroughly, they can see that something was missed at the earliest

:44:46. > :44:48.stage, and in fact a sentence that was passed should not have been

:44:49. > :44:52.passed because the judge did not have power to sentence it. So

:44:53. > :44:57.sometimes it's that emerges almost by which probably means there are

:44:58. > :45:01.quite a lot of other people who are serving unlawful sentences which no

:45:02. > :45:03.one has picked up. Thank you very much for your time this morning.

:45:04. > :45:09.Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

:45:10. > :45:16.Good morning. I don't like when you bring out the umbrella. I just don't

:45:17. > :45:20.like it. We will all have them and at over

:45:21. > :45:25.the next couple of days. Good morning. The forecast is bright

:45:26. > :45:29.spells, sunshine and showers. Showers will be heavy and thundery.

:45:30. > :45:34.In the sunshine it will be pleasant. In the showers it will be cool. That

:45:35. > :45:38.takes us through to Sunday. In detail, today we have the scenario

:45:39. > :45:42.of sunshine and showers. At the moment there is quite a lot of cloud

:45:43. > :45:46.around. Low pressure is driving the weather. It is close to the

:45:47. > :45:50.north-west. This is where the showers will be heavier and some

:45:51. > :45:58.will merge. The isobars tell you it will be breezy with the wind

:45:59. > :46:01.strengthening this evening in the north-west. It will be touching gale

:46:02. > :46:04.force in exposure. Some of us start dry, some cloudy, some with

:46:05. > :46:08.sunshine. Showers will rattle through from the west to the east

:46:09. > :46:12.through the course of the day. They are showers, so not all of us will

:46:13. > :46:18.catch them. If you too they could be heavy and thundery. Temperatures in

:46:19. > :46:22.Leeds and around 17 degrees. Further south into East Anglia, we can't

:46:23. > :46:27.rule out a shower. They are hit and miss. In the Midlands and the south

:46:28. > :46:32.coast, showers move from west to east. Bright spells or sunshine in

:46:33. > :46:36.between. And in Wales, you have guessed it, similar, bright spells,

:46:37. > :46:40.many more cloud at times, sunshine and showers and breezy. Temperatures

:46:41. > :46:44.disappointing for the time of year where ever you are, including

:46:45. > :46:50.Northern Ireland, where you will dodge showers in the day. There will

:46:51. > :46:55.be some sunny spells. And across Scotland, similar story, some

:46:56. > :47:03.showers could be heavy and thundery. Through this evening as an -- and

:47:04. > :47:08.overnight, we have a weather system across western Scotland and Northern

:47:09. > :47:13.Ireland, introducing rain. That rain will move from west to east.

:47:14. > :47:17.Temperature-wise, roughly where we are this morning, double figures in

:47:18. > :47:22.towns and cities. That is where the rain goes, west to east, fragmenting

:47:23. > :47:26.as it does. Dry weather around for a time tomorrow. Then we have the next

:47:27. > :47:30.system swinging in from the south-west, moving north eastwards,

:47:31. > :47:34.taking its rain with it. Some of it will be heavy. In northern England

:47:35. > :47:37.and southern Scotland, you will have a dry slice of weather with

:47:38. > :47:42.sunshine. Tomorrow, if you are setting up your tent for the

:47:43. > :47:47.festival, it should be dry. It looks like we have rain coming this way.

:47:48. > :47:51.The northern limit of it is open to question. Saturday sees cloud and

:47:52. > :47:54.rain in the south-east. We will see some of that in central-southern

:47:55. > :47:58.England through the day. Rain coming into the Channel Islands. And

:47:59. > :48:02.blustery showers coming from the west. As we head into Sunday we are

:48:03. > :48:08.back into the mixture of sunshine and showers, some of them heavy

:48:09. > :48:15.steam western Scotland and Northern Ireland, Charlie and Naga. Thank

:48:16. > :48:21.you, Carol. Lots of attention at the moment on electric cars. Partly

:48:22. > :48:23.because of the announcement made by the government for the date on when

:48:24. > :48:34.we can buy electric cars. Good morning. I have come outside. I

:48:35. > :48:39.have a couple of props with me. Trying to explain what we have heard

:48:40. > :48:44.yesterday, the deadline of 2044 traditional cars that use petrol and

:48:45. > :48:49.diesel to be banned on roads in 23 years' time, replaced by cars like

:48:50. > :48:58.this. You can see the black and white wine are hybrid. They use

:48:59. > :49:03.traditional fuel and electricity. The government says over the next 23

:49:04. > :49:07.years, it wants to phase out conventional vehicles and make sure

:49:08. > :49:12.we are driving those. Great for the environments, but at what cost?

:49:13. > :49:17.Richard from KPMG. Good morning. Announcements about the future of

:49:18. > :49:23.how we will be driving. I suppose the first question, is it a

:49:24. > :49:29.redundant deadline? 2040, will we be driving petrol cars then? Yesterday

:49:30. > :49:33.was a real missed opportunity. Advances in technology mean we are

:49:34. > :49:38.at the cusp of a transport technology revolution. It is also

:49:39. > :49:44.autonomous vehicles, it is because young people don't want to buy a

:49:45. > :49:47.car, they want to hire one. Huge societal and economic benefits.

:49:48. > :49:52.Great chance for the government to show real ambition. I guarantee that

:49:53. > :50:03.long before 2040 the deadline will be obsolete. If we look at these

:50:04. > :50:09.cars, Mitsubishi, Kia, these are international cars. Where are we on

:50:10. > :50:13.this scale, it will come down to battery technology? There is an

:50:14. > :50:16.opportunity for the UK to get on the forefront of the revolution that is

:50:17. > :50:19.about the battery and drivetrain technology. You may have noticed

:50:20. > :50:25.yesterday the government really happy to secure the Mini built in

:50:26. > :50:32.Britain. Disappointment that we have not been aortic litigator battery

:50:33. > :50:37.and the production here as well. -- have not been able to get the

:50:38. > :50:42.battery. We know that this is the future. You may have said that the

:50:43. > :50:46.deadline focuses minds as consumers in starting to think about driving

:50:47. > :50:52.these. Electric only cars account for 1% of all purchases. Around 4%

:50:53. > :50:55.in total. It is not a lot. It is getting us thinking about buying

:50:56. > :50:59.these things. And manufacturers making sure these cars are

:51:00. > :51:03.comparable with what we have today. Exactly. If you go back at couple of

:51:04. > :51:09.years you considered an electric vehicle if you are an

:51:10. > :51:13.environmentalist. Now it is a family conversation everywhere. We are not

:51:14. > :51:16.quite there. There isn't enough charging technology. People are

:51:17. > :51:22.worried about range. I am sure that with investment at technology that

:51:23. > :51:26.people will switch over on their own free choice. And a final word on

:51:27. > :51:31.tax. The government likes to take a lot of money on fuel. It charges

:51:32. > :51:35.huge duty on fuel right now. What happens if we are driving electric

:51:36. > :51:38.cars? There is a dilemma the government is in voicing up to which

:51:39. > :51:42.is every time they succeed in switching one person out of a diesel

:51:43. > :51:48.or petrol car into an electric vehicle, they lose revenue from the

:51:49. > :51:54.fuel tax and from the vehicle excise duty and they pay a subsidy of

:51:55. > :51:59.?4500. This is not sustainable. Sooner or later, we have to charge

:52:00. > :52:03.drivers of electric vehicles to pay for road infrastructure. OK, for now

:52:04. > :52:07.it is good to speak here, thank you. Have a look around some of the cars

:52:08. > :52:11.on the outside. These are very much like those we are used to today.

:52:12. > :52:16.There is not a big difference. They look and sound... I hope this is

:52:17. > :52:22.open. They feel exactly like any car on the road. The question is

:52:23. > :52:26.changing habits, getting used to the idea of buying these vehicles and

:52:27. > :52:29.using them on the road. And I know you have a lot of questions.

:52:30. > :52:34.Yesterday's announcement raises more questions than it answers. Later on

:52:35. > :52:38.we will answer some of those questions. Things about a charging

:52:39. > :52:42.point near where you live. What if you have a long journey? Can you

:52:43. > :52:47.charge your car part way through? Will you have to swap your battery?

:52:48. > :52:53.This is an electric only vehicle. You can't even rely on petrol or

:52:54. > :52:56.diesel to keep you going. As we have heard, battery technology will be

:52:57. > :53:01.one of the big things industry has to look at. We heard the

:53:02. > :53:05.announcement from Greg Clark, from the government, earlier about the

:53:06. > :53:08.investment in battery technology, to make it cheaper, lighter and

:53:09. > :53:13.environmentally friendly. Lots of questions. We will answer some of

:53:14. > :53:17.them just after 8am this morning. I will see you then. Very interesting

:53:18. > :53:18.and we will be back out with Ben later on.

:53:19. > :53:21.It's one of the most hated plants in the UK,

:53:22. > :53:24.It's almost impossible to kill off and can damage homes and break

:53:25. > :53:29.More than ?166 million was spent last year trying to get rid of it.

:53:30. > :53:32.Now scientists are carrying out experimental trials in a field

:53:33. > :53:36.in East Sussex to try and work out the best way of eradicate it.

:53:37. > :53:47.Yvette Austin went along to have a look.

:53:48. > :53:54.An and yielding invader of the plant world. It can push through tarmac,

:53:55. > :54:00.concrete and even get into your home. Japanese knotweed only

:54:01. > :54:04.succumbs to the toughest of treatment, which is why experts are

:54:05. > :54:09.experimenting with more eco- friendly ways of eradicating it. We

:54:10. > :54:14.have laid a membrane horizontally over this mature knotweed to see if

:54:15. > :54:18.it will contain knotweed or stop it growing. We have dug out a piece

:54:19. > :54:22.earlier just to show you what happens. So this is a piece of

:54:23. > :54:27.rhizome and you can see here all of the pieces that have grown since

:54:28. > :54:30.around May. So you can see it doesn't really contain it, it causes

:54:31. > :54:35.it to spread laterally. That would be your garden and it comes up in my

:54:36. > :54:39.garden. You won't be happy with me. Some neighbours are hoping now the

:54:40. > :54:43.land is in the hands of experts they will eventually see the back of the

:54:44. > :54:49.weed as its presence can affect the value of properties. So this is the

:54:50. > :54:55.garden. The knotweed, the knotweed is just over there, where the hedge

:54:56. > :55:01.is, and it is really encroaching all of the time and getting closer. The

:55:02. > :55:05.worry is, you know, literally the fact that it can damage your

:55:06. > :55:11.property and once it gets into the garden it can wreak havoc. And just

:55:12. > :55:15.to show how robust the plant is, it even grows in the dark and it has

:55:16. > :55:20.found its way through the air vent to the light. So have you found the

:55:21. > :55:24.best way to get rid of knotweed? I think we have, it is digging it out,

:55:25. > :55:29.which is the best way. When you dig it out you may have the odd little

:55:30. > :55:33.bit that comes through, small little pieces like this, which is easy to

:55:34. > :55:37.deal with, either by digging further or chemical treatment. The downside,

:55:38. > :55:41.though, is that digging it out can cost more than twice as much as

:55:42. > :55:46.spraying, but the theory is it is quicker and more effective.

:55:47. > :55:48.That is one powerful plant. Japanese knotweed.

:55:49. > :55:50.You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:01:46. > :01:49.Some of the showers will be heavy and thundery and will merge across

:01:50. > :01:51.north-west Scotland, where later it will become rather windy. We will

:01:52. > :01:53.have more details in 15 minutes. First, our main story:

:01:54. > :01:57.It is being described as a major step in developing a new immigration

:01:58. > :02:00.policy for Britain, post-Brexit. The Home Secretary, Amber Rudd,

:02:01. > :02:02.is asking independent migration experts to analyse the role of EU

:02:03. > :02:05.nationals living and working They will report back next

:02:06. > :02:13.September, six months before the UK's deadline to leave

:02:14. > :02:15.the European Union. However, critics say the study has

:02:16. > :02:18.been commissioned too late. Our political correspondent Iain

:02:19. > :02:24.Watson is in Westminster for us. A little bit lonely in Westminster

:02:25. > :02:28.for us. Who will discuss and argue about this proposal? That's right, I

:02:29. > :02:32.am here but the MPs are not. They went into recess, some are on

:02:33. > :02:36.holidays and summer in their constituency. They are not here to

:02:37. > :02:40.question the Home Secretary over what will be a major piece of work,

:02:41. > :02:44.looking at the impact of EU migration on specific sectors, as

:02:45. > :02:49.they are called, of the British economy. The health service,

:02:50. > :02:52.particular industries, and so on. It will even look at whether there is

:02:53. > :02:56.any evidence that unskilled migration is bad for the British

:02:57. > :03:01.economy. It is interesting that Amber Road, the Home Secretary, was

:03:02. > :03:05.riding in a business newspaper, effectively, the Financial Times,

:03:06. > :03:09.saying she was listening to those businesses that value EU citizens'

:03:10. > :03:13.skills. So the suggestion is that although the free movement of

:03:14. > :03:17.citizens will end when we leave the EU in 2019, the government is

:03:18. > :03:31.signalling very clearly it wants to take a flexible approach to

:03:32. > :03:34.immigration from the European Union after that time. We may indeed still

:03:35. > :03:37.have high levels of immigration after that time, and they are also

:03:38. > :03:40.talking about a transitional period of implementation. So people who

:03:41. > :03:43.perhaps voters in the referendum hoping to get a lot of control over

:03:44. > :03:47.immigration quickly, I think the signal here is that perhaps that

:03:48. > :03:50.might take a bit longer. But the main criticism from pro-EU voices is

:03:51. > :03:52.that the government should really have done this ago. -- done this a

:03:53. > :03:53.year ago. The notion that you should always

:03:54. > :03:56.finish a course of antibiotics, even if you feel better,

:03:57. > :03:59.is being challenged by a group Writing in the British Medical

:04:00. > :04:03.Journal, it is argued that taking antibiotics for longer

:04:04. > :04:05.than necessary can raise the risk of developing a resistance

:04:06. > :04:07.to the drugs. However, England's Chief Medical

:04:08. > :04:09.Officer says people shouldn't change their behaviour

:04:10. > :04:11.because of one study. Growing resistance to antibiotics

:04:12. > :04:14.is an increasing problem They become less effective,

:04:15. > :04:19.because we take so many of them. That means deadly infections

:04:20. > :04:22.spread more easily. Now, some researchers say it is time

:04:23. > :04:26.to end the blanket prescription that Writing in the British Medical

:04:27. > :04:31.Journal, the group of experts claim there is no evidence that stopping

:04:32. > :04:34.some antibiotic treatments early They accept more research is needed,

:04:35. > :04:40.but suggest new advice, like stop taking them

:04:41. > :04:52.when you feel better, could help. # Antiobiotics are

:04:53. > :04:54.wonderful pills... There is already an NHS campaign

:04:55. > :04:57.to cut the use of antibiotics. The Chief Medical Officer says

:04:58. > :05:00.the evidence will be reviewed, but that for now the message remains

:05:01. > :05:03.- you should stick to prescriptions, and always follow

:05:04. > :05:09.the doctor's advice. The parents of the terminally ill

:05:10. > :05:12.baby Charlie Gard have until midday to agree with Great Ormond Street

:05:13. > :05:16.Hospital how his life will end. They have accepted that Charlie

:06:05. > :06:08.coast. A beautiful Riviera Beach resort which people will have heard

:06:09. > :06:13.of, about a mile down the road from here. But this is a crest where the

:06:14. > :06:19.hills are under scrub is. And you can see there is this kind of

:06:20. > :06:23.landscape, absolutely flammable in this weather. And we can see where

:06:24. > :06:28.they are right now treating, trying to damp down the last of the fires.

:06:29. > :06:34.The situation is getting better, but there are these outbreaks still

:06:35. > :06:37.appearing, and if we look this direction we can see what it was

:06:38. > :06:41.like yesterday, and how it has become the blackened hillside there,

:06:42. > :06:46.and in front of us the ground, which has been treated. They doused it

:06:47. > :06:50.with water. It has turned black, it is now safe. They say the situation

:06:51. > :06:54.is getting under control, but there are these pockets which keep flaring

:06:55. > :06:58.up, and if the wind picks up again later on today, they could be out

:06:59. > :07:02.here again. We understand that some holidaymakers have spent a second

:07:03. > :07:08.night on beaches, some in sports halls. What can you tell us about

:07:09. > :07:13.that? Yes, that is true. The first night was Tuesday to Wednesday, last

:07:14. > :07:19.night. Again they were at gymnasiums. I think many people have

:07:20. > :07:23.sought alternate accommodation. A hotel we have been out, about 20

:07:24. > :07:26.miles down the road, had many people who had come from here and were

:07:27. > :07:30.prepared to shell out for another hotel, even though they were staying

:07:31. > :07:34.at the campsite here. They hope, and I think they have reason to be

:07:35. > :07:38.optimistic, that they will be able to go back to their campsites later

:07:39. > :07:41.today, but they will not be able to do that until there is a clear,

:07:42. > :07:44.official word from the fire authorities who are inspecting this

:07:45. > :07:48.whole area this morning, and will presumably give some kind of word

:07:49. > :07:52.around the middle of the day. For the moment, thank you very much.

:07:53. > :07:54.An extraordinary number of unlawful sentences are being imposed

:07:55. > :07:57.in criminal cases because the legislation is so complicated.

:07:58. > :08:00.That is according to the independent body which advises the Government.

:08:01. > :08:03.The Law Commission says sentencing rules in England and Wales should be

:08:04. > :08:05.simplified and brought together into one document,

:08:23. > :08:25.from the Fireball spinning pendulum ride in the city of Columbus.

:08:26. > :08:28.At least one of the injured is in a critical condition.

:08:29. > :08:52.He said a full investigation would be carried out.

:08:53. > :08:56.Vice Admiral Jonathan Woodcock, one of the most senior British Navy

:09:52. > :09:53.ambulance pilot today, before taking up his royal duties full-time.

:09:54. > :09:56.For the past two years, he has been working

:09:57. > :09:58.for the East Anglian Air Ambulance service.

:09:59. > :10:01.Writing in the Eastern Daily Press this morning, he says he has been

:10:02. > :10:04.Our royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell reports.

:10:05. > :10:07.It is a job which has clearly meant a great deal to him,

:10:08. > :10:10.to work as a member of the emergency services.

:10:11. > :10:13.Valued for what he does rather than who he is,

:10:14. > :10:16.flying an air ambulance, and helping to save lives.

:10:17. > :10:19.It was more than two years ago that William first reported for duty

:10:20. > :10:26.He had finished as an RAF search-and-rescue pilot,

:10:27. > :10:29.but chose to retrain and qualify for this new role.

:10:30. > :10:31.On his first morning, he explained how much it

:10:32. > :10:39.I'm just fantastically excited to be here today,

:10:40. > :10:45.It has been many exams and training to get here,

:10:46. > :10:51.and I'm hugely excited to be joining a very professional bunch of guys

:10:52. > :10:54.and girls, doing such a unique, complex job with the air ambulance.

:10:55. > :10:57.In the months since, William has piloted the air

:10:58. > :11:01.He has seen tragedy and extremes of emotion in close quarters.

:11:02. > :11:04.Writing in the Eastern Daily Press this morning, he says he is hugely

:11:05. > :11:06.grateful for having had the experience.

:11:07. > :11:19.After tonight's shift, William will embark on the role

:11:20. > :11:22.which has been his destiny, as a full-time, working member

:11:23. > :11:24.of the British royal family, taking on more responsibilities

:11:25. > :11:27.in support of his grandmother, but with what are clearly deeply

:11:28. > :11:30.embedded memories of his time as pilot William Wales

:11:31. > :11:39.of the East Anglian Air Ambulance service.

:11:40. > :11:44.All the sport and the weather coming up a little later on.

:11:45. > :11:46.When your doctor prescribes you antibiotics, the advice has

:11:47. > :11:50.Complete the whole course or you could risk building up

:11:51. > :11:54.Now, a group of doctors say that message could be doing more harm

:11:55. > :11:57.than good, and more research is needed to determine the best

:11:58. > :12:02.In a moment we will speak to chair of the Royal College of GPs,

:12:03. > :12:04.Helen Stokes-Lampard, but first let's talk to one

:12:05. > :12:15.of the report's authors, Professor Tim Peto.

:12:16. > :12:22.Thank you for joining us. Can you tell us the thinking behind this?

:12:23. > :12:27.Because as a piece of advice on the surface, it seems quite ambiguous.

:12:28. > :12:32.Yes, OK. Well, we have all been taught at school and elsewhere that

:12:33. > :12:36.you have to finish the course. It has really been embedded as a

:12:37. > :12:40.concept around the whole country, and we were trying to work out where

:12:41. > :12:44.that idea comes from. Because we couldn't understand it. And it turns

:12:45. > :12:48.out that it was first mentioned 70 years ago by Alexander Fleming, who

:12:49. > :12:53.was the person that discovered penicillin and got the Nobel prize,

:12:54. > :12:59.and in his Nobel prize speech he mentioned this, you should finish

:13:00. > :13:03.the course, 70 years ago, and I don't think much research has been

:13:04. > :13:06.done ever since and we have all just believed Alexander Fleming. And when

:13:07. > :13:10.we looked at it more carefully, we think there is no scientific basis

:13:11. > :13:13.for that statement, and that actually, the more antibiotics

:13:14. > :13:17.people take, it makes common sense that there is more chance of

:13:18. > :13:20.resistance developing in the community and elsewhere. So that

:13:21. > :13:24.really we only want to give antibiotics enough to make you

:13:25. > :13:28.better, but we don't want to go beyond that, to stop resistance.

:13:29. > :13:32.Because I don't think that last bit works. What is the danger if you

:13:33. > :13:38.take the full course, and don't stop when you feel better? I think

:13:39. > :13:41.patients have done very well with antibiotics for 70 years, and we all

:13:42. > :13:45.know that they are pretty safe drugs, and it is perfectly OK to

:13:46. > :13:50.carry on as given. The question we now want to worry about is what are

:13:51. > :13:54.the things that we can do on the planet, really, to protect the world

:13:55. > :14:02.from antibiotic resistance. And we really want to minimise antibiotic

:14:03. > :14:05.risk for -- resistance for humans and animals everywhere so as to

:14:06. > :14:09.preserve antibiotics for the future, so we want to find out the optimum

:14:10. > :14:12.length of time you want to give antibiotics to you, so the patients

:14:13. > :14:17.get better and are perfectly well, but we don't want to go beyond it.

:14:18. > :14:21.How easy is it to communicate that message for GPs? We are going to

:14:22. > :14:29.talk to a GP in a moment about the practical terms. If you have one

:14:30. > :14:31.antibiotic, it surely depends on how the person reacts to that

:14:32. > :14:35.antibiotic, how severe their condition was in the first place. So

:14:36. > :14:39.in terms of guidance for GPs, would that be possible? Well, I think we

:14:40. > :14:44.never meant to imply that we were giving patients advice. We want to

:14:45. > :14:47.impart doctors, prescribing doctors, to choose shorter courses without

:14:48. > :14:51.the doctors and their patients worrying about getting resistance if

:14:52. > :14:56.the doctors want to give shorter courses. So we want to empower GPs

:14:57. > :15:03.and doctors to prescribe shorter courses. That was the aim of our

:15:04. > :15:07.study. OK. Let's talk to Helen now, at the moment. Thank you very much

:15:08. > :15:09.for your time. You have been listening to that. Do you think this

:15:10. > :15:20.could empower doctors? In the short term it will cause

:15:21. > :15:24.confusion for doctors and patients. But the study is well intentioned

:15:25. > :15:27.and it is a challenge to think carefully about what we prescribe

:15:28. > :15:31.and ensure more research is done. The message today from me and the

:15:32. > :15:34.chief medical officer is very clear. Keep taking the antibiotics your

:15:35. > :15:38.doctor prescribes for you, and do take the full course. Because the

:15:39. > :15:41.doctor who has prescribed them will have thought about you, your

:15:42. > :15:45.diagnosis, and what they believe is right for you in the light of this

:15:46. > :15:48.guidance and best evidence that we have. So please nobody change their

:15:49. > :15:53.practice right now, but there is more research to be done. How would

:15:54. > :15:56.it work in practice? If I came to you with a condition and said, this

:15:57. > :16:00.is very severe, but you perhaps thought I might be overoptimistic

:16:01. > :16:04.about when I feel well, how would you be able to judge and allow me to

:16:05. > :16:07.judge when to stop taking antibiotics? We have guidance that

:16:08. > :16:12.already tells us the rough duration of a course of antibiotics. If it

:16:13. > :16:15.was a urinary tract infection I would probably prescribe you as a

:16:16. > :16:19.fit, well woman a three-day course of antibiotics, and that is on the

:16:20. > :16:23.basis of antibiotics. We reduce the duration many years ago. Cannot 20

:16:24. > :16:27.years ago you might have had a five or seven day course. -- ten or 20

:16:28. > :16:31.years ago. We are always updating the guidance. For a chest infection

:16:32. > :16:34.which we believe is bacterial it might be a five-day course. For

:16:35. > :16:39.other infections it will be different. But that is for the

:16:40. > :16:42.clinician to be aware of the latest evidence and to apply it to the

:16:43. > :16:46.patient in front of them. We are moving to a world of more

:16:47. > :16:49.personalised medicine where we take other factors into consideration,

:16:50. > :16:52.but we are not there yet. I always feel uncomfortable giving the same

:16:53. > :16:56.dose of antibiotics to a small 19 your baby that I do to a tall, fit,

:16:57. > :17:02.30-year-old right you play. -- 19-year-old lady. But that is what

:17:03. > :17:06.the guidance says and that is what I will follow, because it is the best

:17:07. > :17:09.evidence we have right now. In time that evidence will change. Genetics

:17:10. > :17:13.may play a part. For now, do not change anything. The scientists and

:17:14. > :17:17.researchers do the work, and then the guidance will change swiftly so

:17:18. > :17:22.that can benefit from it. Thank you both for your time.

:17:23. > :17:27.It's 7:17 and you're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:17:28. > :17:35.Carroll has the weather for us. -- Carol.

:17:36. > :17:40.The forecast for today is sunshine and showers. If you are heading away

:17:41. > :17:44.for the weekend pack something waterproof and something will warm

:17:45. > :17:47.as well, because it will be cool in the showers. Temperatures below

:17:48. > :17:51.where they should be at the end of July. Sunshine and showers sums it

:17:52. > :17:54.up nicely. We are ready have some showers in the west. Low pressure is

:17:55. > :17:58.driving this weather. You can see from the isobars that it is going to

:17:59. > :18:01.be quite a breezy day. Later, the wind will strengthen across the

:18:02. > :18:05.north-west of Scotland. We start with the showers in the west. There

:18:06. > :18:08.is lots of cloud around. That will break as we go through the course of

:18:09. > :18:11.the morning, allowing some sunny spells to develop. Showers will also

:18:12. > :18:16.develop further, moving from the west to the east. Some of those will

:18:17. > :18:19.be heavy and thundery. If you are stuck underneath one, the wind will

:18:20. > :18:25.be gusting around it. Temperature wise we are looking at about 17 in

:18:26. > :18:29.Leeds. Coming further south, bright spells, meaning that at times they

:18:30. > :18:32.will be more cloud around. Showers, some of them thundery, some of us

:18:33. > :18:36.missing altogether and getting away with a dry day. As we move across

:18:37. > :18:42.southern counties and into the south-west, we have showers. 17 is

:18:43. > :18:46.the top and project them. Wales, again, we have a dizzy cocktail of

:18:47. > :18:50.bright spells, sunshine and showers. Breezy conditions, especially around

:18:51. > :18:53.the showers. It is the same as we move into Northern Ireland. You will

:18:54. > :18:56.be dodging the showers as we go through the day, and across

:18:57. > :19:01.Scotland, where in the showers the temperature will come down. In the

:19:02. > :19:05.sunshine in Inverness we could see a high of 17. In the evening and

:19:06. > :19:08.overnight some of those showers will fade. It will still be breezy. The

:19:09. > :19:13.wind strength will pick up across the north-west of Scotland. Gail is

:19:14. > :19:18.possible with exposure. A new weather front comes in, bringing

:19:19. > :19:21.rain across western Scotland and Northern Ireland. For the rest of us

:19:22. > :19:26.there will be the odd shower, but most of us will be dry, with temp

:19:27. > :19:28.which is about 11 or 15. Tomorrow, that band of rain coming across

:19:29. > :19:32.western Scotland and Northern Ireland, that fragments as it goes

:19:33. > :19:35.east. There will be lots of dry weather, especially across northern

:19:36. > :19:39.England. The next system sweeps in from the south-west, bringing rain.

:19:40. > :19:43.Some of this will be heavy, especially over the hills in Wales.

:19:44. > :19:47.If you are in northern England, lots of dry weather and lots of sunshine.

:19:48. > :19:51.Just how far north this trouble is, we think by evening, we will be

:19:52. > :19:57.looking at a line from Preston to howl. That could change. As we move

:19:58. > :20:00.into Saturday, we have some rain to start with across the south-east.

:20:01. > :20:03.Through the day, this next band comes up from the south-west across

:20:04. > :20:06.the Channel Islands. We could see some across central and southern

:20:07. > :20:13.England. More showers pouring in across western Scotland and southern

:20:14. > :20:16.island. Dry in between, and on-site -- on Sunday we are back into that

:20:17. > :20:26.mix of showers and sunshine. Tell me this is just a brief respite

:20:27. > :20:30.from the boiling hot temperatures we had before, and they are coming

:20:31. > :20:34.back? I would love to say that, if you like it nice and hot, but next

:20:35. > :20:37.week is looking a bit changeable as well. OK. Carol, lovely seeing you.

:20:38. > :20:40.Let's get the latest from the business world now -

:20:41. > :20:43.Ben's here with the latest on Lloyds bank, Thomas Cook and Heathrow

:20:44. > :20:51.I have been to as many of these numbers as can so far and these are

:20:52. > :20:54.the ones that stand out for me. We have heard from Lloyd's in the last

:20:55. > :21:01.few minutes. Pre-tax profits of 4%, and have come in at ?2.5 billion.

:21:02. > :21:05.Another ?700 million has been put aside for PPI claims. In May the

:21:06. > :21:09.government finally offloaded its remaining shares in Lloyds eight

:21:10. > :21:12.years after it was forced to bail it out with ?20 billion to save it from

:21:13. > :21:16.collapse. We have also heard within last the minutes that the bank

:21:17. > :21:19.agreed to set up a compensation scheme. This will be for mortgage

:21:20. > :21:24.customers who were hit with fees after falling behind with mortgage

:21:25. > :21:29.payments. Lloyds says nearly 600,000 customers could receive payments

:21:30. > :21:33.that total around ?283 million. We will have more on that for you a

:21:34. > :21:37.little bit later. A significant compensation scheme for customers.

:21:38. > :21:42.Elsewhere, Thomas Cook says bookings for this summer are up 11%. It has

:21:43. > :21:46.reported a small profit of ?6 million in Patchway big loss this

:21:47. > :21:49.time last year. The chief executive has described the result is a good

:21:50. > :21:53.performance despite the competitive environment. And Heathrow Airport

:21:54. > :21:58.says profits are up 36%. They have come in at ?102 million for the

:21:59. > :22:02.first half of the year. It also says that the airport was busier than

:22:03. > :22:06.ever, with all-time records in passenger traffic up nearly 4% to

:22:07. > :22:11.over 37 million passengers. Cargo was up sharply as well. I will be

:22:12. > :22:15.speaking to the boss of Heathrow at about half an hour. Stay tuned for

:22:16. > :22:17.that. He will have more in that Lloyds compensation scheme, it is

:22:18. > :22:19.pretty significant, more for you later. Thank you, Ben.

:22:20. > :22:21.Today marks the 50th anniversary of the partial decriminalisation

:22:22. > :22:23.of homosexuality - a revolutionary change

:22:24. > :22:27.The Sexual Offences Act began the slow process of liberalising

:22:28. > :22:29.British laws towards lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights.

:22:30. > :22:32.Yet, many legal changes in the UK have only taken place

:22:33. > :22:35.Let's discuss this now with campaigner Terry Stewart

:22:36. > :22:50.Good morning. Good morning. Such an important day in many ways. It puts

:22:51. > :22:54.things in context of it. You have brought a document with you? And

:22:55. > :22:58.this is very much linked to your parcels of you grew up in Northern

:22:59. > :23:03.Ireland. Tell us what this document is first. Well, under the Alan

:23:04. > :23:08.Turing ruling, the government decided that people could apply for

:23:09. > :23:12.a pardon, anybody who had him as actual conviction. And you had a

:23:13. > :23:17.conviction. When did this date back to? 1981. That conviction remains on

:23:18. > :23:24.my record, which means if I apply for a job, or apply to be part of an

:23:25. > :23:29.organisation, that will show up and I can guarantee that I may as well

:23:30. > :23:38.be on the sex offenders list. What was the conviction for? I was

:23:39. > :23:43.convicted of importuning, which is where you apparently approached

:23:44. > :23:47.another individual with the intent of having or procuring a homosexual

:23:48. > :23:51.relationship with them. If you were to walk up lovers Lane with your

:23:52. > :23:55.partner, your boyfriend, your girlfriend, you would just be having

:23:56. > :24:01.a day out. If you are gay that was totally different. And so you are

:24:02. > :24:10.petitioning now to get that null and void. Absolutely. I mean, with my

:24:11. > :24:16.union, Unite, 1.5 million people are supporting us. I want that

:24:17. > :24:20.conviction quashed. Because there is something in the region of 15,000

:24:21. > :24:27.other people who are in the same position. It is the way the law

:24:28. > :24:31.works, of all those people, only 115 people were eligible for a pardon

:24:32. > :24:35.since the Alan Turing ruling. When you think about your story, and

:24:36. > :24:43.obviously the people watching do not know about your history, you were

:25:56. > :26:00.fought over the right to be homosexual, not to be convicted for

:26:01. > :26:04.those things. The less said about Donald Trump the better, as far as I

:26:05. > :26:10.am concerned. I think in terms of the change that needs to happen now,

:26:11. > :26:13.compare to when I was a young man, I think the priority has to be with

:26:14. > :26:17.young people. Young people are the most vulnerable people that we have

:26:18. > :26:21.in our communities. They need to be protected. The government policy

:26:22. > :26:25.says every child matters, and every gay, lesbian and transgender person

:26:26. > :26:29.needs to be included in that. They need to be protected and the

:41:00. > :41:01.Rachel Krengel, who has struggled to afford essential toiletries

:41:02. > :41:14.You hear how people are struggling, but how quickly you can get into

:41:15. > :41:18.that position. What happened to you? A few years ago my children were

:41:19. > :41:21.very little. We went through a period where we just didn't have

:41:22. > :41:26.enough money coming in for everything. My partner had just lost

:41:27. > :41:30.his job. I was at home with two very small children, who were very young.

:41:31. > :41:37.And I think what is really... Now looking back at it sticks out for

:41:38. > :41:42.me, most of the other aspects of poverty we were held with. My sister

:41:43. > :41:45.lived in the same town, we had great friends. If we didn't have food,

:41:46. > :41:49.someone would bias food. When the child didn't have a winter coat my

:41:50. > :41:53.sister went out and bought one. But I never went out and told people

:41:54. > :41:57.that I didn't have enough sanitary towels to get me through the month.

:41:58. > :42:03.I think because it is such... It is such an embarrassing thing to say,

:42:04. > :42:07.to say actually I have had this sanitary towel on for so long that

:42:08. > :42:11.it is really gross now. It is not something people feel like they can

:42:12. > :42:15.talk about. So even people who have options, and the help is there, they

:42:16. > :42:20.don't feel like they can reach out. So it is about dignity, in a way. In

:42:21. > :42:24.lots of other ways you can get high. We have done many stories about how

:42:25. > :42:29.little food people can cope on, but it comes down to an issue around

:42:30. > :42:33.dignity. It does, and I maintain that all of us, however easy you

:42:34. > :42:36.find it to talk about poverty, even about your periods, all of us have

:42:37. > :42:41.this little 13-year-old girl who has just spotted load on her genes, and

:42:42. > :42:46.that comes out so quickly when you're that situation. It is not

:42:47. > :42:51.just periods, either. It is the simple things. When you are at

:42:52. > :42:58.school and someone has body odour, and when you are acute, or older,

:42:59. > :43:02.and you can't afford deodorant, or enough, again it is the dignity

:43:03. > :43:06.thing. You are aware of this and there is not much you can do about

:43:07. > :43:11.it. And it is amazing how expense of those things are, when you think

:43:12. > :43:15.about it. A packet of sanitary towels as a pound and it doesn't

:43:16. > :43:20.sound like a lot, and it wouldn't be enough to me now, but at the time I

:43:21. > :43:25.could buy a bag of Pastor and some reduced vegetables, so to go and buy

:43:26. > :43:31.something that is just for me with that count felt like an enormous

:43:32. > :43:33.waste of money -- bag of pasta. And the stories that we have heard

:43:34. > :43:38.throughout the campaign, you hear the most appalling stories coming

:43:39. > :43:42.through. It is so widespread now. People are actually missing school.

:43:43. > :43:46.People are missing school, we are hearing stories of children using

:43:47. > :43:50.socks, newspaper, rolled up toilet roll. So the impact of this goes

:43:51. > :43:53.beyond a very practical things you were talking about, because it makes

:43:54. > :43:58.people feel presumably less confident, less able to get back on

:43:59. > :44:03.track. And it makes you feel so alone. People don't realise how

:44:04. > :44:06.widespread this is. What is the advice, then? If this is this

:44:07. > :44:10.widespread, and it is an issue of dignity, and not wanting to talk

:44:11. > :44:13.about it or admit you are struggling with this, what should people do?

:44:14. > :44:18.What are the support networks or the signs that people should be looking

:44:19. > :44:21.out or? I mean, I think certainly missing school is a really obvious

:44:22. > :44:26.one with kids. When a child is missing school every four weeks on a

:44:27. > :44:31.four weekly cycle, there is a reasonable chance that that is what

:44:32. > :44:36.is happening. Just people being really embarrassed and not wanting

:44:37. > :44:40.to leave the house as much. I tended to avoid anything very physical, or

:44:41. > :44:44.a long walk, because sometimes I was using my diaphragm, which is

:44:45. > :44:48.incredibly dangerous, and it is very uncomfortable, so you don't want to

:44:49. > :44:52.walk very far. You get very nervous about leaving your house, because

:44:53. > :44:58.you can't, you know. You have given us a very clear picture of how it

:44:59. > :45:03.has affected you. And we have a government response. They said in

:45:04. > :45:10.March this year that it is going to continue the fund until EU rules

:45:11. > :45:13.allow a zero rate of VAT to be applied to women's sanitary

:45:14. > :45:17.products. A decision will be made once that has been achieved. You

:45:18. > :45:21.think that will make a difference? Is VAT a big enough... On principle,

:45:22. > :45:26.they absolutely should not be charged as luxury products, because

:45:27. > :45:33.they are not luxury products. VAT is 5%. Exactly quite a small amount of

:45:34. > :45:36.the money, of that ?1. That is 5p, that is not going to make a

:45:37. > :45:42.difference. It needs to be available for free.

:45:43. > :45:49.Carol, that looks like a very angry sky.

:45:50. > :45:56.You are not wrong. For some of us it is a damp start. We will have a mix

:45:57. > :46:00.of sunshine and showers, and some of those showers will be heavy and

:46:01. > :46:03.thundery. That is the forecast for the next few days. The centre of

:46:04. > :46:07.this low pressure system which is coming in is near the centre of the

:46:08. > :46:10.country. This is where the showers will be heaviest. The isobars are

:46:11. > :46:16.very close together, meaning it will be breezy. Later, as this weather

:46:17. > :46:19.approaches the north-west of Scotland, you will find that their

:46:20. > :46:23.wind will strengthen. Showers packing in through the day, moving

:46:24. > :46:29.from the west to the east. You know the drill the showers. If you do

:46:30. > :46:33.catch one, it will be blustery and the temperature will come down. It

:46:34. > :46:37.will feel very cool for the end of July. Showers continuing across the

:46:38. > :46:40.north of England. Some in the Midlands, some in East Anglia, some

:46:41. > :46:44.down into the south-east. Temperatures up to about 20 Celsius

:46:45. > :46:48.in London. In the Midlands, down towards the Isle of Wight, heading

:46:49. > :46:51.towards the south-west of England, we are not immune to those showers

:46:52. > :46:56.either. Not all of us will catch some. For some of us it will stay

:46:57. > :47:01.dry with sunny spells and for Wales, highs of 17 Celsius. We are not

:47:02. > :47:05.immune to showers in Wales, nor in Northern Ireland. If anything, the

:47:06. > :47:07.breeze will pick up in the north-west later. The wind will

:47:08. > :47:12.strengthen across north-west Scotland later inland. We are

:47:13. > :47:16.looking at a fair amount of showers. Some of them are merging to cause

:47:17. > :47:20.longer spells of rain. In the evening and overnight we continue

:47:21. > :47:23.with the showers. Time, but many of them will fade. A new weather system

:47:24. > :47:30.comes western Scotland and Northern Ireland. That will introduce rain.

:47:31. > :47:34.As it continues east, it will start to break up and fragment. That will

:47:35. > :47:38.certainly be the case during Friday. We start with a fair bit of dry

:47:39. > :47:42.weather around, but a new set of France comes in from the south-west

:47:43. > :47:45.and will push rain steadily north-east through the course of the

:47:46. > :47:49.day. So although it will start dry and bright for some eastern areas,

:47:50. > :47:53.such as eastern Anglia -- East Anglia, it will build and later we

:47:54. > :47:57.will see the rain arrived. If you are in northern England it is not a

:47:58. > :48:01.bad day for you tomorrow. Lots of dry weather around, with some

:48:02. > :48:05.sunshine. It is just how far north this band of rain moves. We think at

:48:06. > :48:09.the moment, by evening, it will be in a line roughly from Preston

:48:10. > :48:13.towards Hull. Moving into Saturday, we start with cloud and rein in the

:48:14. > :48:17.south-east. Then we have another batch coming up across the Channel

:48:18. > :48:22.Islands. We could see some get into central and southern England. As you

:48:23. > :48:26.can see in this chart, there will be dry weather around with a few

:48:27. > :48:30.showers. Most of the showers will pack in across northern and western

:48:31. > :48:34.Scotland and also Northern Ireland. By the time we get to Sunday, if

:48:35. > :48:38.anything, we start of a relatively bright note, with some other thing

:48:39. > :48:42.some sunshine. Showers will get going and some of those will be

:48:43. > :48:45.heavy and thundery. It will be especially so across Scotland and

:48:46. > :48:50.Northern Ireland. Some of them will merge and we will see longer spells

:48:51. > :48:53.of rain. Temperatures, 16- 22. Don't forget, in the breeze and the

:48:54. > :48:57.showers, the temperatures will come around a touch. It will be cooler

:48:58. > :49:00.than we would expect for the end of July.

:49:01. > :49:03.Heathrow Airport has been busier than ever so far this year,

:49:04. > :49:05.with record numbers of passengers and cargo.

:49:06. > :49:13.Record numbers for both passengers and cargo.

:49:14. > :49:18.They're up 36%, coming in at ?102 million for the first half

:49:19. > :49:20.The airport handled 37 million passengers.

:49:21. > :49:26.The airport's Chief Executive is John Holland-Kaye.

:49:27. > :49:34.Surinder Arora says he can build a third runway for ?5 billion

:49:35. > :49:40.Good morning to you. On the face of its these numbers are very good. At

:49:41. > :49:43.people will know that you had serious IT failures of British

:49:44. > :49:48.Airways, your biggest customer, and baggage handling failures recently.

:49:49. > :49:52.It is not good news for them, is it? Actually we have seen record levels

:49:53. > :49:55.of satisfaction at Heathrow. Weather you look at punctuality or the

:49:56. > :50:00.baggage collection rates, they are also at record highs. That is what

:50:01. > :50:06.we focus on at Heathrow. Taking sure that we look after passengers well,

:50:07. > :50:10.give them a good experience, and that is part of the reason why more

:50:11. > :50:13.people than ever are choosing to use Heathrow. I am delighted that we

:50:14. > :50:16.have been voted by passengers the best major airport in Europe, a

:50:17. > :50:20.great credit to the 76,000 colleagues of mine who worked here

:50:21. > :50:23.at the airport. You say that you give passengers a great experience,

:50:24. > :50:26.and yes, the figures would back those out, but for the people

:50:27. > :50:29.watching this who were caught up in all those delays and all the

:50:30. > :50:33.disruption, they went on holiday without airbags, that is not great

:50:34. > :50:36.service, is it? Well, I would like to apologise to any passenger who

:50:37. > :50:39.was disrupted. You understand that the number of passengers coming

:50:40. > :50:44.through here they will be times and we do not quite get it right, but we

:50:45. > :50:48.do our very best to give a great service. We take days like today, we

:50:49. > :50:52.have a lot of people going on holiday today and there will be lots

:50:53. > :50:55.of things going on at the airport to make sure people do not just have

:50:56. > :50:59.reliable and good journeys, but that they have fun as well. If you are

:51:00. > :51:03.travelling with kids and kids travel free on Heathrow Express. The four

:51:04. > :51:06.free at restaurants. We have lots of fun and games across the terminals,

:51:07. > :51:09.to make sure the holiday begins at Heathrow. We have lots of engineers

:51:10. > :51:13.behind the scenes making sure that all the pigment is working. The

:51:14. > :51:16.baggage system is in good order, just in case anything happens, we

:51:17. > :51:20.are right on it. We are really trying to make sure that everybody

:51:21. > :51:24.has a great time at the start of their holiday when they get to

:51:25. > :51:27.Heathrow. As we said before, you are busier than ever, both with

:51:28. > :51:30.passengers and cargo. You want that extra runway. I want to talk about

:51:31. > :51:34.passengers. On the one hand, they see the need to be able to get

:51:35. > :51:37.through the airport and getaway. What reassurance do have that you

:51:38. > :51:41.will not pass on that extra cost? There are all sorts of figures being

:51:42. > :51:45.thrown about about how much this will cost and whether it will mean

:51:46. > :51:48.we pay more for flight tickets. We are working hard with airlines to

:51:49. > :51:52.make sure that we can debate fabulous passenger experience, but

:51:53. > :51:56.also deliberate affordably. We are making good progress on that. That

:51:57. > :51:58.would be a big achievement. We are used hearing about these big

:51:59. > :52:02.infrastructure projects whether costs keep going up. Well, this is

:52:03. > :52:06.one where the costs are coming down, both in terms of the total amount of

:52:07. > :52:09.money will be spending and also in the terms of the amount of money

:52:10. > :52:12.passengers pay. If we can achieve that perfect position of being able

:52:13. > :52:15.to give a fantastic passenger experience and give the connections

:52:16. > :52:18.to global markets that the UK needs, meeting all of our environment and

:52:19. > :52:22.commitments, and passengers are paying pretty much all the same that

:52:23. > :52:26.they are paying today, that would be remarkable. John, good to talk to

:52:27. > :52:30.you. I have some much more I want to ask you but it is very busy for

:52:31. > :52:32.Ossia. Thank you for your time. I will have more business news after

:52:33. > :52:32.eight. For many of us, adopting a vegan

:52:33. > :52:35.diet - that's no meat, no fish, no dairy, no

:52:36. > :52:38.eggs and no honey - sounds like a dramatic step,

:52:39. > :52:41.but would you consider trying it That's what the Vegan Society

:52:42. > :52:45.is encouraging people to do, in order to raise awareness

:52:46. > :52:47.about how what we eat We went to a vegan cafe to find out

:52:48. > :53:02.more about the lifestyle. In the last couple of years, demand

:53:03. > :53:08.for vegans who has skyrocketed. -- for vegans food has. People are

:53:09. > :53:12.thinking more about environmental issues, animal rights issues, animal

:53:13. > :53:16.welfare, those three things come together and make people change

:53:17. > :53:21.their behaviour. The choices that are available now, compare to even

:53:22. > :53:24.five years ago, are amazing. Not only totally vegan and vegetarian

:53:25. > :53:28.restaurants, but also vegetable and meat -based restaurants that offer a

:53:29. > :53:32.vegan or vegetarian choice. People are realising there is a market and

:53:33. > :53:37.they want to satisfy that market. People are much more willing these

:53:38. > :53:43.days to try vegetarian or vegan food. They may not have the

:53:44. > :53:48.intention of keeping it up forever, but they will maybe try it once or

:53:49. > :53:49.twice a week, to just sort of slightly reduce their intake of

:53:50. > :54:00.bodies. Good morning. You are trying to

:54:01. > :54:05.encourage people to try out veganism? For one week. What

:54:06. > :54:10.difference will that make? We believe it will make a great deal of

:54:11. > :54:14.difference to the planet. Even for a week, somebody cutting out all their

:54:15. > :54:19.meat and dairy products can make a huge impact. Obviously it is great

:54:20. > :54:24.if people carry on with that. What impact? What would be affected?

:54:25. > :54:29.Well, we know that by reducing or cutting out meat and dairy products,

:54:30. > :54:36.that you actually reduce your food impact by 50%. So your greenhouse

:54:37. > :54:41.gases impact, by 50%. It is making a big difference to the planet. There

:54:42. > :54:46.seems to be some evidence that quite a lot of people in their regular

:54:47. > :54:51.diets are moving, to some extent, towards veganism. Certain things

:54:52. > :54:56.like having less red meat, may be less dairy products. Do you see more

:54:57. > :54:59.generally, apart from those who are already taking up a big diet,

:55:00. > :55:05.people's die is changing in that direction. Ashley taking up a vegan

:55:06. > :55:09.died. Yes, certainly we are seeing people reducing the amount of meat

:55:10. > :55:12.and dairy products they need. But there has been a huge cultural

:55:13. > :55:16.change, really in the last five years, huge growth in veganism and

:55:17. > :55:20.interesting veganism. There is a week trend in that direction.

:55:21. > :55:27.Particularly amongst younger people. And particularly amongst women. It

:55:28. > :55:30.is making a real difference. Traditionally, the impression of

:55:31. > :55:36.veganism is that those who campaign can be quite extreme. I think there

:55:37. > :55:40.is a quote about milk at the moment, about humane milk being a myth. Is

:55:41. > :55:43.that correct? The reason I say this is that people always take umbrage

:55:44. > :55:48.at being told they are bad, and that they don't care, without trying to,

:55:49. > :55:52.but they have been brought up on meat diets. You think there is a

:55:53. > :55:55.responsibility on the Of Egan Society and other campaign is to be

:55:56. > :56:03.a little bit more friendly, and little bit less judgement will? --

:56:04. > :56:06.Vegan Society. Absolutely, we have found in our research that most

:56:07. > :56:09.people are doing things to help the environment. They are making little

:56:10. > :56:13.changes, they are cutting down on how many plastic bags they use, they

:56:14. > :56:16.are making a real difference in terms of switching off lights and

:56:17. > :56:19.things like that. But those things don't make anywhere near the same

:56:20. > :56:23.impact that changing your diet would do. That is why we think it is

:56:24. > :56:26.important that people start to look at diet as well as these other

:56:27. > :56:30.smaller changes that they are making. We certainly do not want to

:56:31. > :56:34.tell people that, you know, we are very much about encouraging people

:56:35. > :56:37.and supporting people in making changes. We would never say that

:56:38. > :56:41.just because somebody only cuts out meat and dairy products one day a

:56:42. > :56:45.week that they shouldn't do that. Every little does help. But we do

:56:46. > :56:49.believe that by making a permanent change it can make a big difference.

:02:38. > :02:49.Watson is in Westminster for us. Good morning to you. What is the

:02:50. > :02:54.idea of this study and what will they do with the results? The idea

:02:55. > :02:59.behind it is to look at the impact of EU migration in Britain. It will

:03:00. > :03:05.be a wide-ranging study. They will look at what if you cut the number

:03:06. > :03:08.of migrants. What would happen in certain industries? What would

:03:09. > :03:17.happen in the health service? What would happen in certain regions of

:03:18. > :03:21.the country? It will also explore whether unskilled migration is bad

:03:22. > :03:26.for the economy. However, critics have said this is an important piece

:03:27. > :03:30.of work which should have been commissioned after the referendum a

:03:31. > :03:35.year ago. Diane Abbott is calling for any changes to be put off until

:06:32. > :06:35.they are not saying that, but it has stabilised. We are seeing little

:06:36. > :06:40.pockets of smoke going at which they are putting out one by one. We are

:06:41. > :06:44.in an area which has been hit and was burning yesterday. The ground is

:06:45. > :06:50.completely charred and blackened. It has been doused with water which

:06:51. > :06:55.turns it black. If we walk up here on this charred hillside, we can

:10:22. > :10:24.you could be seeing more of in the future.

:10:25. > :10:32.I think he will drive away if we do not get some answers. We have had

:10:33. > :10:36.loads of questions. Yes, lots of practical questions. Can you hear

:10:37. > :10:43.that noise? It is a little pinging noise. I have never sat in an all

:10:44. > :10:48.electric car before. There is some kind of thing going. We're not going

:10:49. > :10:53.to drive this one now. I will step outside and give you a look around.

:10:54. > :10:57.We have gathered some cars here, some are all electric, some are

:10:58. > :11:03.hybrids of engines and electric. We are looking ahead to the future.

:11:04. > :11:07.That date, 23 years ahead when you will not be able to buy petrol or

:11:08. > :11:11.diesel car, so it is addressing the issue of what we are going to do

:11:12. > :11:22.about pollution. The world we live in and the air we breathe, are

:11:23. > :11:25.proving to be real problems about what these streets alike and the air

:11:26. > :11:28.we are breathing. We have three people who know a lot more about

:11:29. > :11:32.this. We have Jim Holder from What Car. Jenny Bates from Friends of the

:11:33. > :11:37.Earth and Richard Threlfall from KPMG. You will be aware that a lot

:11:38. > :11:43.of people are asking lots of questions. They go to the heart of

:11:44. > :11:48.the matter. Clive has got in touch with one of the really basic

:11:49. > :11:51.questions. How will all the extra electricity for all these vehicles

:11:52. > :11:56.be generated? We imagine the world of the future and some people say,

:11:57. > :11:59.maybe sooner than we think, when there are lots of cars driven by

:12:00. > :12:06.electricity, where is the power coming from? We estimate that we

:12:07. > :12:11.will need for jigger watts of electricity to charge the cars up --

:12:12. > :12:15.gigawatts. But the good news is we will mostly charge the cars at night

:12:16. > :12:19.which is currently the time when we have a surplus of electricity so it

:12:20. > :12:22.is not all bad news. There will be some areas of the grid which need

:12:23. > :12:30.strengthening but by and large this is not a big problem. We can cope

:12:31. > :12:35.with this. How will people who live in tower blocks, or don't have drive

:12:36. > :12:39.ways, going to access charging points regularly enough to use an

:12:40. > :12:43.electric car everyday? That is a fair question and one which has not

:12:44. > :12:47.yet been answered. There are ways you can charge an electric car from

:12:48. > :12:50.a lamp post but the practicality of everybody trying to do that at the

:12:51. > :12:54.same time really needs to be answered and we need a much better

:12:55. > :13:07.infrastructure that we have today before the electric car can be

:13:08. > :13:09.universal choice. Everybody says the advances between now and in 23

:13:10. > :13:12.years' time, these questions will be irrelevant, but on this issue, this

:13:13. > :13:16.is linked to the first question. It is about the generation of

:13:17. > :13:19.electricity. Some people will say will we not create more pollution by

:13:20. > :13:25.generating more power to drive electric cars so staying where we

:13:26. > :13:30.are in terms of the overall picture? In terms of what the cars on it and

:13:31. > :13:35.where people are living and walking, it is terribly important what that

:13:36. > :13:40.has come from. But in terms of renewable energy, we have masses of

:13:41. > :13:46.opportunity here in the UK with solar and wind, that even just this

:13:47. > :13:51.spring we have had a huge amount, Emperor portion, about 25% of the

:13:52. > :13:55.demand coming from solar. It will push further demand. Vehicles are

:13:56. > :14:01.only as clean as the electricity they run on, of course. Let's go

:14:02. > :14:05.back to the money issues. A lot of people are asking how about the

:14:06. > :14:10.money the government will lose in fuel duty? This is up your street.

:14:11. > :14:15.It generates an enormous amount of money for the government. ?33

:14:16. > :14:19.million a year is raised but we only spend about three to 5 billion on

:14:20. > :14:22.our roads, all the rest of it is being spent on the health service.

:14:23. > :14:27.This is a really big problem the government will have to face up to.

:14:28. > :14:31.Sooner or later they will charge users of electric vehicles to use

:14:32. > :14:37.our roads in order to pay for it. What about people who live in rural

:14:38. > :14:41.areas or need larger vehicles because of where they live? And some

:14:42. > :14:45.people are saying, where are the big trucks which run on electricity? Do

:14:46. > :14:50.those exist and are the issue is around battery power and electric

:14:51. > :14:51.power which will preclude big vehicles from being powered by

:14:52. > :14:59.electricity? There are issues and yesterday's

:15:00. > :15:03.announcement was about small cars and vans. The car industry is

:15:04. > :15:06.investing billions in trying to move it forward. Already we have some

:15:07. > :15:15.second-generation batteries and in Assen leaf -- in the Nissan Leaf.

:15:16. > :15:19.How big is the battery in that car? Now capable of just over 200 miles,

:15:20. > :15:22.if you fully charge it, whereas the first generation just seven years

:15:23. > :15:29.ago was about half that amount so it is moving forward very quickly. From

:15:30. > :15:35.2040 you can still buy a car with petrol diesel engine, but it has to

:15:36. > :15:39.be linked to an electric engine, so it is a hybrid car. People are

:15:40. > :15:45.concerned about servicing and costs, as well. Is it broadly going to be

:15:46. > :15:50.the same? Actually it could even be cheaper. I own a red nose only

:15:51. > :16:01.myself and it is around two thirds of the price to service it, -- I own

:16:02. > :16:06.a Renault Zoe. Jenny, from Friends of the Earth, maybe what has been

:16:07. > :16:09.changed, saying it has become a commerce ocean people are having

:16:10. > :16:13.around their dinner tables, around their breakfast tables, what they do

:16:14. > :16:16.about cars. Maybe at this stage saying do we still want a diesel

:16:17. > :16:22.car, that is where it is at right now, do you feel there is a sea

:16:23. > :16:25.change going on? Absolutely, and the reason is the health issues of air

:16:26. > :16:31.pollution are just so horrible. Children's lungs don't develop

:16:32. > :16:36.properly, people get heart attacks or strokes triggered by bad air.

:16:37. > :16:39.40,000 premature deaths a year linked to air pollution, lung

:16:40. > :16:42.cancer, that sort of thing, so the reason is we have to do something

:16:43. > :16:46.about it. That is why we were disappointed with what the

:16:47. > :16:50.government said yesterday, while the signal for 2040 is the right thing,

:16:51. > :16:54.it is a long way off. We need things to happen now. We need to restrict

:16:55. > :17:00.the dirtiest vehicles now because people's lives are at risk. A

:17:01. > :17:04.reality check, what is the price check? We have four cars behind is

:17:05. > :17:10.capable of various things, some hybrid, some all electric, give me a

:17:11. > :17:14.price check. The plug-in hybrids behind us are comparable with the

:17:15. > :17:17.cost of a diesel today. The difference is not that great. The

:17:18. > :17:21.electric cars are typically a bit more expensive but there are ways of

:17:22. > :17:25.getting that money back, they are cheaper to service and fuel, there

:17:26. > :17:28.are tax incentives to own them. There are stimulus that can lead

:17:29. > :17:32.them to be cheaper to run. I have seen the sun coming out, solar

:17:33. > :17:38.powered car? Absolutely, some have solar power panels on their rooms

:17:39. > :17:47.now to charge them up, so it is possible. Carol, solar powered cars,

:17:48. > :17:51.we would need sun for that. What we're looking at is a mixture of

:17:52. > :17:56.sunny spells and some showers. Some of the showers will be heavy and

:17:57. > :18:00.also thundery, some merging to give longer spells of rain. Quite a bit

:18:01. > :18:02.of cloud around. Charlie is in Manchester, this is the satellite

:18:03. > :18:07.picture for the last two hours and you can see where it is broken and

:18:08. > :18:12.where it hasn't. Low pressure still driving our weather very much so.

:18:13. > :18:15.Close to the north-west, producing a lot of showers and you can tour by

:18:16. > :18:20.the squeeze on the isobars will be a breezy day. Windy with exposure

:18:21. > :18:24.across north-west Scotland. A damp start to some of us, particularly

:18:25. > :18:28.through the West. Showers will develop travelling east. Some of

:18:29. > :18:36.them heavy and thundery. In between, there will be dry weather. Some of

:18:37. > :18:40.us will miss the showers altogether. For London, highs of 20 Celsius,

:18:41. > :18:44.East Anglia could see some showers, you could catch one in King's Lynn,

:18:45. > :18:47.in Birmingham as well. As we move further northwards, a mixture of

:18:48. > :18:53.bright spells, sunshine and showers. For Scotland, no different, bright

:18:54. > :18:58.spells, sunshine and showers but at times the showers in the West will

:18:59. > :19:02.merge and this evening the wind will also pick up. For Northern Ireland,

:19:03. > :19:07.bright spells, sunshine and showers sums it up, as it does indeed across

:19:08. > :19:11.much of Wales, but if you missed the showers will be pleasant enough in

:19:12. > :19:15.the sunshine. Wherever you are in the UK, the wind will be that bit

:19:16. > :19:20.gusty and the temperature will briefly go down. Through the

:19:21. > :19:23.evening, we have another system coming across western Scotland and

:19:24. > :19:27.Northern Ireland, introducing some more rain, and don't forget the wind

:19:28. > :19:31.is strengthening too. Temperature-wise, we are in pretty

:19:32. > :19:35.good shape, 11 to 16 Celsius. Similar to how you are starting this

:19:36. > :19:38.morning. This band coming in across western Scotland and Northern

:19:39. > :19:42.Ireland pushes east through the day, it fragments, and at the same time

:19:43. > :19:45.we have another one coming in from the south-west, introducing some

:19:46. > :19:54.rain, some heavy, particularly over the hills of Wales. We also have a

:19:55. > :19:58.dryer slice across this area. We are looking at the northern limit of

:19:59. > :20:04.this rainfall. By evening we think it will be aligned roughly from

:20:05. > :20:08.Preston to Hull. In the Saturday, cloudy and damp in the south-east,

:20:09. > :20:11.we then have some more rain sweeping up across the Channel Islands,

:20:12. > :20:14.moving north-eastwards, so we could see some of that across central and

:20:15. > :20:20.southern England, the London area and into Kent. Some of that could be

:20:21. > :20:23.heavy. More showers coming in across the north-west between a dryer

:20:24. > :20:26.slice, not bone dry, there will be some showers around but not as many

:20:27. > :20:31.as we will seek during the course of Sunday. Low-pressure still with us,

:20:32. > :20:34.this is the centre of it. A lot of showers coming in, merging across

:20:35. > :20:39.Scotland and Northern Ireland, some of those will be heavy and thundery.

:20:40. > :20:42.Looks like it will be absolutely soaking wet on Sunday. Not as bad as

:20:43. > :20:49.that picture looks but there will be quite a few showers around.

:20:50. > :20:57.A very blue map, we need to make it more yellow. Put it you holes in it

:20:58. > :21:08.for some sunshine. If anyone can, Carol, you can. No pressure! You

:21:09. > :21:13.agree with me, don't you, Sally? Yes, Carol can definitely do that

:21:14. > :21:18.for us. A man in the water who has been amazing, Adam Peaty. An

:21:19. > :21:24.incredible performance. Lovely to see the Olympic ring tattoo, I love

:21:25. > :21:32.it so that when he is in the pool and he goes up, we see the Olympic

:21:33. > :21:38.rings. I wonder what his mum or grand said when he got that had to.

:21:39. > :21:41.That was after the Rio Games is man was in there, Mavis couldn't go, she

:21:42. > :21:46.wasn't too well, so she missed going to watch but she is actually in

:21:47. > :21:52.Budapest this week, she travelled. We enjoyed watching her as much as

:21:53. > :21:56.Adam. Watching him. Let's remind ourselves of Adam's success,

:21:57. > :22:04.starting with the swimming superstar in the swimming pool in Rio.

:22:05. > :22:12.COMMENTATOR: Good reaction, P Ki up with them. A very good start. -- PTR

:22:13. > :22:14.put them. This is utterly brilliant. Adam Peaty takes Olympic gold for

:22:15. > :22:41.Great Britain by an absolute street. I don't know whether to cry, I am

:22:42. > :22:52.ecstatic, absolutely ecstatic, I am so proud of him! It is really all

:22:53. > :22:57.about Adam Peaty. The world record is 57.1 three, but goodness me, the

:22:58. > :23:05.margin of victory, that was phenomenal. To hear his time meant

:23:06. > :23:10.the world to me. It is very touching. Amazing, absolutely

:23:11. > :23:12.brilliant swimming. He is making the rest of the world reset their dreams

:23:13. > :23:15.because they are no longer quicken. Adam's mum and nan,

:23:16. > :23:32.Caroline and Mavis, join Morning to you both. Good morning.

:23:33. > :23:39.Good morning. Mavis, you're they're. Has it been worth it to see all the

:23:40. > :23:44.success in the fall? Yes, it has. It has been fabulous. I can't quite

:23:45. > :23:52.believe what he has achieved, tell you the truth. I have enjoyed at

:23:53. > :23:56.every step of the way. Take us back, Caroline, let's talk about Adam as a

:23:57. > :24:00.little boy, frightened of the water. Can you believe he is at this point

:24:01. > :24:05.now and how did you get him over that fear? I think a bit of tough

:24:06. > :24:10.love, that's the start, with the help of my friend. She took him to

:24:11. > :24:13.the swimming pool for me, because he was so distressed, and it was

:24:14. > :24:18.upsetting me. All the other children had learned to swim, so Adam needed

:24:19. > :24:22.to swim, because, you know, we are round rivers and lots of water, so

:24:23. > :24:27.it was a life skill that he needed to learn. So a bit of tough love,

:24:28. > :24:31.and it has developed from there. Mavis, as we said, you weren't able

:24:32. > :24:35.to make it to Rio, what is it like being in Budapest now and going into

:24:36. > :24:43.the Aquatic Centre, with all the noise of a fuss and the razzmatazz,

:24:44. > :24:51.and watching your grandson? It is electrifying, absolutely wonderful.

:24:52. > :24:58.The atmosphere's great. Getting lots of attention from the Hungarians.

:24:59. > :25:02.I've made a few friends, even though I can't speak the language. What

:25:03. > :25:09.sort of attention are you getting, Mavis? Just meeting people that are

:25:10. > :25:17.sitting by me, you know, and we join in the, station. The best I can. And

:25:18. > :25:24.last night we had ice cream boaters. It was really great. Caroline, are

:25:25. > :25:29.you able to watch him calmly? Are you able to keep calm? I would

:25:30. > :25:34.imagine a parent you there are in tears? Yes, I'm fine until he gets

:25:35. > :25:40.onto the blocks. Then once he is into the water, I'm sort of

:25:41. > :25:46.screaming away, and then my heart starts as he is coming close to the

:25:47. > :25:49.wall. And then afterwards, if he does win, you know, that's when the

:25:50. > :25:55.tears start, and the podium really does get to me. Our national anthem,

:25:56. > :26:00.that brings prickles all the way up my arms, and tears as well. I know

:26:01. > :26:05.Adam only very narrowly missed out on beating his own record last

:26:06. > :26:09.night. How is he this morning? I have no idea how he is this morning,

:26:10. > :26:16.I've had a message, it was a late night for him last night, hopefully

:26:17. > :26:19.we will see him tomorrow. But he has sent me the occasional message,

:26:20. > :26:23.which is more than what I had in Rio, which is lovely. Like I said,

:26:24. > :26:27.we did manage to see him for a few minutes after he'd finished his

:26:28. > :26:33.hundred, by accident really, as we were going past the gym. So he is in

:26:34. > :26:37.fine form, really happy. Brilliant. Mavis, good luck for the rest of

:26:38. > :26:43.your trip and enjoy, have a safe flight home. Thank you very much.

:26:44. > :26:51.Thank you Mavis and Caroline, Mavis and Caroline, live in Budapest this

:26:52. > :26:58.morning. His mum was great with a microphone, at the microphone

:26:59. > :30:19.technique sorted out. Thanks, Sally. Time to get the news,

:30:20. > :30:26.Now though it's back to Naga and Charlie.

:30:27. > :30:32.Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty.

:30:33. > :30:36.The notion that you should always finish a course of antibiotics,

:30:37. > :30:38.even if you feel better, is being challenged by a group

:30:39. > :30:43.Writing in the British Medical Journal, it's argued that taking

:30:44. > :30:45.antibiotics for longer than necessary can raise

:30:46. > :30:48.the risk of developing a resistance to the drugs.

:30:49. > :30:50.Earlier on Breakfast, Chair of the Royal College of GPs

:30:51. > :30:56.Helen Stokes-Lampard told us more research is needed.

:30:57. > :30:58.I always feel slightly uncomfortable that I give the same dose

:30:59. > :31:00.of antibiotics to a petite 90-year-old lady that

:31:01. > :31:05.I do to a tall, fit 30-year-old rugby player.

:31:06. > :31:08.But that is what the guidance tells us to do right now,

:31:09. > :31:11.and that is what I will follow, because it is the best evidence

:31:12. > :31:14.In time, the evidence and the guidance will change.

:31:15. > :31:18.But for now, don't change anything, let the scientists and researchers

:31:19. > :31:21.do the work, and then the guidance should change swiftly so we can

:31:22. > :31:30.Wildfires are continuing to burn in parts of southern France.

:31:31. > :31:38.Thousands of people have been forced to leave their homes

:31:39. > :31:40.and campsites around the town of Bormes-les-Mimosas.

:31:41. > :31:43.Many have spent a second night on beaches, or in sports halls

:31:44. > :31:47.At least 6000 firefighters and troops are now battling the flames.

:31:48. > :31:49.The Prime Minister has said the Conservatives have 'come a long

:31:50. > :31:53.way' on the issue of gay rights, but that there's still more to do

:31:54. > :31:56.Theresa May was marking the 50th anniversary today of the partial

:31:57. > :31:58.decriminalisation of homosexuality in England and Wales.

:31:59. > :31:59.It decriminalised homosexual acts in private between

:32:00. > :32:05.An "extraordinary" number of unlawful sentences

:32:06. > :32:08.are being imposed in criminal cases, because the legislation

:32:09. > :32:13.That's according to the independent body which advises the Government.

:32:14. > :32:20.The Law Commission says sentencing rules in England and Wales should be

:32:21. > :32:23.simplified and brought together into one document in order to cut

:32:24. > :32:26.delays, save money and ensure people get the justice they deserve.

:32:27. > :32:27.One person has been killed and several injured

:32:28. > :32:30.after an accident on a ride at the Ohio State Fair.

:32:31. > :32:37.Fire chief Steve Martin told local media outlets victims were thrown

:32:38. > :32:39.from the 'Fireball' spinning pendulum ride in

:32:40. > :32:42.At least one of the injured is in a critical condition.

:32:43. > :32:44.He said a full investigation would be carried out.

:32:45. > :32:46.There's been an angry reaction to President Trump's decision

:32:47. > :32:49.to ban transgender people from the US armed forces.

:32:50. > :32:52.Vice Admiral Jonathan Woodcock, one of the most senior

:32:53. > :32:56.British Navy officials, tweeted to say he was "so proud

:32:57. > :33:00.They bring diversity and I will always support their desire

:33:01. > :33:06.In the US, hundreds of protesters gathered in New York's Times Square

:33:07. > :33:10.holding signs saying "resist" and "we object".

:33:11. > :33:13.The President said the decision was based on medical costs but both

:33:14. > :33:21.Democrats and Republicans have criticised the move.

:33:22. > :33:31.Meanwhile, President Trump's new spokesman has said he's

:33:32. > :33:34.100% certain the US will be able strike a trade deal

:33:35. > :33:36.Anthony Scaramucci, the White House communications director,

:33:37. > :33:39.told the BBC's Newsnight programme that Mr Trump loved the UK,

:33:40. > :33:41.and he highlighted the "special relationship" between the two

:33:42. > :33:44.countries as a reason why he believed a deal would be agreed.

:33:45. > :33:47.So think about the special relationship we have

:33:48. > :33:59.had since the inception of this great nation.

:34:00. > :34:04.This nation was a disruptive start-up, a group of guys

:34:05. > :34:08.We're going to break away from the other nation

:34:09. > :34:12.You know what the President is doing?

:34:13. > :34:15.Does that mean making concessions to do trade with the UK?

:34:49. > :34:51.in Lapland where they have not had any snow, so they had some

:34:52. > :34:53.delivered. That is great, isn't it? They are

:34:54. > :34:55.enjoying it, obviously. It was transported from a nearby ski

:34:59. > :35:09.for the start of the new ski season. But it is July in Lapland where

:35:37. > :35:40.Mavis, she is lovely, and his mum, Caroline.

:35:41. > :35:43.Chatting to them a few minutes ago, they were so proud, the wages mum

:35:44. > :35:45.talks about when he gets onto the podium, that is when she really

:36:00. > :36:02.on breaking his own world He said he's been on a rollercoaster

:36:03. > :36:06.of emotions this week - breaking records then getting back

:36:07. > :36:08.in the pool to race again. It's quite exhausting coming out,

:36:09. > :36:14.switching off, switching on, I'm so, so happy with

:36:15. > :36:23.my performances here. 225 points now, and I know that

:36:24. > :36:26.there's more in that. But I don't want to

:36:38. > :36:39.he was considering taking a break to recover from

:36:40. > :36:40.the long-standing injury. He says he doesn't need surgery,

:36:41. > :36:48.but rest is necessary. Did not do Roger Federer any harm,

:36:49. > :36:51.did it? There was frustration for Celtic

:36:52. > :36:54.as they were held to a goalless draw by Norwegian champions Rosenborg

:37:12. > :37:14.by two goals to have any chance, and they also need England to beat

:37:15. > :37:16.Portugal. Mark Sampson's side need

:37:17. > :37:18.just a point to qualify If they win without conceding

:37:19. > :37:22.a goal, they'll become the first England side -

:37:23. > :37:26.male or female - to progress at a major tournament with a 100%

:37:27. > :37:32.record and without conceding. England's cricketers will look

:37:35. > :37:37.the third Test starts It's the 100th Test to be

:37:38. > :37:40.played at the ground. England came in for some criticism

:37:41. > :37:42.from former captain Michael Vaughan He said they failed

:37:43. > :37:47.to respect Test cricket. The series is currently

:37:48. > :37:54.level at 1-1. Jess Ennis-Hill will next month

:37:55. > :37:56.finally receive the gold medal that she was denied at the 2011

:37:57. > :37:59.World Championships. Ennis-Hill came second

:38:00. > :38:00.to Russian Tatyana Chernova who was later found

:38:01. > :38:02.guilty of doping. Now the presentation will go ahead

:38:03. > :38:09.at World Championships Britain's Jo Pavey will also

:38:10. > :38:24.receive her bronze medal Did I get away with that?

:38:25. > :38:32.We should explain X by credit if we widen the shot, Gareth Thomas... He

:38:33. > :38:36.has just joined us and managed to slide in...

:38:37. > :38:42.You did so well! I barely noticed you!

:38:43. > :38:45.Good morning. Garrett has joined us to talk about

:38:46. > :38:49.a documentary he has made, you can explain to us now you are here, for

:38:50. > :38:53.people who don't know your history you came out as a rugby player, the

:38:54. > :38:56.first rugby player to do so, rare in all sports and you have taken the

:38:57. > :39:03.opportunity to look at football and homophobia? Basically because there

:39:04. > :39:07.was a House of Commons select committee a year or so ago and they

:39:08. > :39:11.got together to look at all sports in general and they came to the

:39:12. > :39:15.conclusion that football was a homophobic sport. Every other sport,

:39:16. > :39:21.I think it is important to say, is not really where it should be, there

:39:22. > :39:24.are areas for progression in them, but football really was something

:39:25. > :39:29.that did not seem to be tackling it, the other sport are trying, making

:39:30. > :39:34.an effort, then Greg Clark pots comment, who runs the essay,

:39:35. > :39:37.basically said that if a professional footballer came out he

:39:38. > :39:42.feels they would get a lot of abuse, and I thought if a guy who runs an

:39:43. > :39:46.organisation that Blake says that, and the reality is it is true,

:39:47. > :39:50.surely you would go away and try to change it, and eradicated, stop it,

:39:51. > :39:55.so I wanted to find out if anything is being done and where this

:39:56. > :39:58.homophobia lies. It is interesting the reactions you got when you spoke

:39:59. > :40:02.to various people, we are going to show a clip of the programme and we

:40:03. > :40:05.will have to look at your face after it.

:40:06. > :40:08.18 months ago, a British tabloid claimed two players were poised to

:40:09. > :40:13.But no-one did, and the story disappeared.

:40:14. > :40:22.He also represents several footballers.

:40:23. > :40:25.So, without naming any names, do you personally know of any

:40:26. > :40:27.footballers who are hiding their sexuality within

:40:28. > :40:31.Yes, I do. Yeah?

:40:32. > :40:36.And I think it's really difficult, and I know

:40:37. > :40:38.the lies that they're living, and I know

:40:39. > :40:39.the fear that they have, and

:40:40. > :40:47.And yet they feel they've got no option, and I think that's really,

:40:48. > :40:50.really sad, in today's world, that you have to live

:40:51. > :41:01.It is fair to say, and you can explain more, there were several

:41:02. > :41:06.times in this documentary way your head is literally in your hands,

:41:07. > :41:13.exasperation, maybe anger as well at how little is being done? Yes, I had

:41:14. > :41:20.a huge amount of passion for it because I kind of went into it

:41:21. > :41:25.thinking, everything is open, I just want to find out what is going on,

:41:26. > :41:31.and you come across people that are running the game that don't really

:41:32. > :41:35.even know what homophobia is, the game is being run by very much

:41:36. > :41:40.stereotypical people, and they are fishing things that to everyone

:41:41. > :41:43.else, let's set up a campaign, a fluffy campaign, campaigns are great

:41:44. > :41:48.and have a place but they never stop a problem, they just create

:41:49. > :41:52.awareness. All the governing bodies do, if they set up different

:41:53. > :41:56.campaigns, they pull in different directions and nothing really steps

:41:57. > :42:01.out and eradicate the problem that is glaringly obvious, that a

:42:02. > :42:05.minority, I have to say a minority, of funds and people who support the

:42:06. > :42:21.game are unbelievably homophobic because they feel

:42:22. > :42:26.it is something they are allowed to go and do on Saturday. Do you think

:42:27. > :42:28.the target has to be at the fans, or the players, or the advertising, the

:42:29. > :42:31.biggest sports brands? There are so many links that affect everyday

:42:32. > :42:34.people and their image of football, who needs to be targeted first? For

:42:35. > :42:36.me it is the likes of Greg Clark, Bill Bush, Gordon Taylor, they make

:42:37. > :42:39.the power, they make the rules, they can make the change. Talking about

:42:40. > :42:41.Donald Trump earlier, one person can either have a positive or negative

:42:42. > :42:46.effect in making the rule and making a change, and it just seems like the

:42:47. > :42:50.governing bodies are not really understanding how to stop something,

:42:51. > :42:54.so there was always out there, but they are not being enforced. You

:42:55. > :42:58.were told quite a few times by those people you were talking to that

:42:59. > :43:02.progress is being made but the facts are that internationally across the

:43:03. > :43:07.world as I understand there is only one out footballer currently? Non-in

:43:08. > :43:11.the UK? We talk about progression, I spoke to the niece of Justin Fashanu

:43:12. > :43:15.in the documentary and she made a very similar documentary five years

:43:16. > :43:21.ago and says from five years to now absolutely nothing has changed.

:43:22. > :43:25.Society has moved on so rapidly, and to create such a great environment,

:43:26. > :43:32.but within the world of football it is lagging behind, and part of it is

:43:33. > :43:36.the global game and the value of 18, say Manchester United, at around the

:43:37. > :43:41.world is huge, and we have to remember that such a huge population

:43:42. > :43:46.of the world it is still illegal to be gay in, so what kind of brand

:43:47. > :43:50.does that give a team that are selling themselves globally if they

:43:51. > :43:55.have an openly gay player? It really is a difficult thing for people to

:43:56. > :44:00.do, but ultimately I care about the person, we say it is a player, a

:44:01. > :44:05.footballer, behind that player is a person. Given your own experience,

:44:06. > :44:07.you came out while you were playing, if you were a professional

:44:08. > :44:13.footballer now do you think you would? As I am as a person now,

:44:14. > :44:17.because I'm so strong to myself, I would love to because I would love

:44:18. > :44:21.to stand outside the doors of the PFA, the FA, the Premier League and

:44:22. > :44:24.say, you never created this environment but I'm telling you now,

:44:25. > :44:28.you have to create an environment where I cannot and will not be

:44:29. > :44:34.judged on my sexuality. But before you came out you were not as

:44:35. > :44:38.confident? So would you do it? If I was a player now because I care so

:44:39. > :44:42.much about my career and the reality that if homophobic abuse is allowed

:44:43. > :44:45.to be chanted at football grounds without there being a gay player on

:44:46. > :44:50.the field, what is that gay player going to walk into if he is openly

:44:51. > :44:56.gay? Is that going to create it worse because fans try to create an

:44:57. > :45:01.intimidating atmosphere and a lot of fans sometimes we'll cross that

:45:02. > :45:06.line, and they are not being policed on what is black and white because

:45:07. > :45:10.there are such big grey areas. It is a very interesting documentary and

:45:11. > :45:16.it raises a lot of questions. I have learned a lot, it has been 50 years

:45:17. > :45:20.since the decriminalisation of homosexuality and society has moved

:45:21. > :45:21.on so far. We will be talking about that in a minute. Gareth, lovely to

:45:22. > :45:22.see you. Alfie v Homophobia:

:45:23. > :45:24.Hate In The Beautiful Game is on BBC One in Wales

:45:25. > :45:27.at 9pm this evening, and will be available

:45:28. > :45:32.on the iPlayer shortly afterwards. Alfie is Gareth's Nick Nairn,

:45:33. > :45:37.everyone calls him that. It is the issue which reportedly

:45:38. > :45:40.led many to back Leave Immigration and control

:45:41. > :45:43.of who can travel from the EU Now, the Government has taken

:45:44. > :45:47.a major step in designing a new immigration policy

:45:48. > :45:50.for after Brexit. A set of independent experts will be

:45:51. > :45:52.asked to analyse the economic The Immigration Minister

:45:53. > :46:07.Brandon Lewis joins us Thank you very much for your time

:46:08. > :46:12.this morning. Good morning. I am a bit confused about the timing of

:46:13. > :46:17.this report. Parliament is in recess. We can't see this debated,

:46:18. > :46:21.and the report is not going to come back with any conclusions, we

:46:22. > :46:25.understand, until September next year, six months before we leave the

:46:26. > :46:34.EU. How was that going to work and be implemented? It is part of a

:46:35. > :46:38.process. The advisory committee's work would not be debated in

:46:39. > :46:43.Parliament at any time, anyway. What will be debated is the immigration

:46:44. > :46:52.order that will come in next year. For the last year or so, we have all

:46:53. > :46:58.been meeting with different sectors, across the country. I met with the

:46:59. > :47:00.farmers' union just last week, and later today, we will meet

:47:01. > :47:06.representatives of the City of London. That will be ongoing, as

:47:07. > :47:11.will the committee's work, feeding in policy development over the next

:47:12. > :47:16.year or so. It is about looking at the long-term plan and what we want

:47:17. > :47:19.our immigration system to be when free movement ends. So this is an

:47:20. > :47:23.idea to bring immigration down to the tens of thousands, the target

:47:24. > :47:29.that the Conservatives have failed to hit yet? The committee's work

:47:30. > :47:33.will inform policy decision. The committee will look at the impact of

:47:34. > :47:36.migration on the economy, what the economy needs in terms of migrant

:47:37. > :47:42.labour to prosper in the future, and I think it is achievable to have

:47:43. > :47:44.reducing migration levels, have control of our borders, and still

:47:45. > :47:47.have people coming to the country not just being welcome but being

:47:48. > :47:55.hugely important part of our economy. The economy can grow while

:47:56. > :48:01.we control our borders. You say the free movement of people will end

:48:02. > :48:04.after Brexit. I know you have commissioned this report to see the

:48:05. > :48:08.impact of immigration - do you have a plan about what will happen to

:48:09. > :48:14.those people who are here from the EU? We have already offered the

:48:15. > :48:18.citizens' right offer, which means that people who are already here and

:48:19. > :48:24.who were here before the cut-off date, -- cut-off date, which is

:48:25. > :48:29.being negotiated at the moment, will have the same rights pretty much as

:48:30. > :48:34.British citizens. We are looking at what the system will be for those

:48:35. > :48:40.who come to this country after that date and once we leave the EU. Later

:48:41. > :48:44.this year, we will outline in a White Paper the broad approach to

:48:45. > :48:50.that. It is work that has been going on over the last year or so. You say

:48:51. > :48:54.the free movement of people with the EU will end after Brexit. In the

:48:55. > :48:57.papers today, in the Financial Times, Amber Rudd, the Home

:48:58. > :49:02.Secretary, has promised businesses she will not close the door to

:49:03. > :49:07.European workers after Brexit, and this is being interpreted as a

:49:08. > :49:11.softening of tone. How do your two statements marry? They are exactly

:49:12. > :49:16.the same. In that statement in the Financial Times, she is clear that

:49:17. > :49:21.free movement doesn't end when we leave the EU, but we're not ending

:49:22. > :49:27.all migration. We want to make sure migration supports the economy and

:49:28. > :49:34.delivers the benefits we have seen as a country for aeons. This is

:49:35. > :49:42.about having control of our borders and a new system of immigration so

:49:43. > :49:50.that we have the belly it -- the ability to control borders and to

:49:51. > :49:53.help grow jobs. When I look at the statistics and research we have done

:49:54. > :50:01.before talking to you, more than 60,000 people from the EU work in

:50:02. > :50:05.the NHS, and it has been widely spoken about how difficult it is to

:50:06. > :50:10.get people to do jobs in the NHS, which is understaffed. What happens

:50:11. > :50:13.if this report says that we need more migrants and we need to have

:50:14. > :50:21.more foreigners in this country to do these jobs, to support our key

:50:22. > :50:27.services, yet that contradicts your immigration target? Not necessarily.

:50:28. > :50:36.The committee's work will help develop policy, but in terms of

:50:37. > :50:40.understanding what we need Ferrari and histories, whether it is people

:50:41. > :50:46.that the NHS, for the tech industry, for the city. That we do need those

:50:47. > :50:52.people, it is obvious already. That will continue to be an important

:50:53. > :50:58.part of the economy after Brexit. The committee's work will define

:50:59. > :51:04.what our sectors need and what we need four after 2019. Thank you for

:51:05. > :51:07.talking to us this morning. Brandon Lewis, Immigration Minister.

:51:08. > :51:14.Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

:51:15. > :51:18.Good morning. We have some fabulous pictures this morning, a couple to

:51:19. > :51:32.show you... The forecast for today is bright

:51:33. > :51:37.spells, sunshine and showers. You can see the cloud we currently have,

:51:38. > :51:43.but it has broken here and there, so we can see sunshine. There are some

:51:44. > :51:46.showers. This low pressure is driving the weather. As it

:51:47. > :51:49.approaches, showers will turn heavier, and the wind will

:51:50. > :51:56.strengthen as well, particularly around western Scotland. A dry start

:51:57. > :52:01.for some, brightness, showers in the West, developing and pushing east

:52:02. > :52:05.through the day, some of them heavy. It will be a breezy day as well, and

:52:06. > :52:10.around the shower is particularly so. If you are caught in a shower,

:52:11. > :52:16.with the breeze, it will feel cool. In southern counties, bright spells

:52:17. > :52:19.of sunshine and showers. Some showers across East Anglia and the

:52:20. > :52:27.Midlands. Some others will not see them. In northern England and into

:52:28. > :52:35.Scotland, it is a similar story - bright sunshine, and showers. There

:52:36. > :52:38.may be longer spells of rain in the West of Scotland, and in Northern

:52:39. > :52:45.Ireland, the breeze will pick up through the afternoon. Sunshine and

:52:46. > :52:50.showers everywhere. Some of us will get away with a dry day with sunny

:52:51. > :52:55.spells. Through the evening and overnight, we lose some of the

:52:56. > :52:58.showers, and we have a new system coming into the West, introducing

:52:59. > :53:07.rain into western Scotland and Northern Ireland. The wind picks up,

:53:08. > :53:12.with gale force winds in coastal areas at times. Tomorrow, the band

:53:13. > :53:19.of rain continues to travel east, becoming patchy as it does so. Then

:53:20. > :53:23.a new set of fronts comes from the south-west. They will produce

:53:24. > :53:28.stronger winds and heavy rain, particularly across Wales. In

:53:29. > :53:32.northern England and southern Scotland, you could have a dry and

:53:33. > :53:38.sunny day for much of the day. This rain will be moving north through

:53:39. > :53:49.the day. Still some uncertainty as to its northern extent. Saturday

:53:50. > :53:55.starts off cloudy, with rain in the South. More showers in the North

:53:56. > :53:58.West, fewer showers and sunny spells in between. That takes us into

:53:59. > :54:03.Sunday, which is a mixture of sunshine and showers, the showers

:54:04. > :54:09.more frequent, some of them heavy and thundery. Quite a blustery day

:54:10. > :54:16.as well. Carol, my final question - do you have a pair of binoculars? I

:54:17. > :54:19.do. With you? I don't carry them! You would have been able to see

:54:20. > :54:28.possibly the gamma ray burst that we are about to talk about. I look

:54:29. > :54:35.forward to saving it is -- to seeing it. It was an explosion second only

:54:36. > :54:38.to the Big Bang and was described as being so bright that you could see

:54:39. > :54:44.it with a pair of binoculars. Despite being more than 9 billion

:54:45. > :54:48.light years away. A gamma ray burst has been captured in unprecedented

:54:49. > :54:52.detail by scientist. It is caused by a star collapsing, and it is hoped

:54:53. > :54:56.it could solve some of the key questions about how the universe

:54:57. > :55:01.works. Carol Mundell from the University of Bath is with us to

:55:02. > :55:08.explain all. To be clear, this image is an artist's impression. That's

:55:09. > :55:13.correct. Not the actual photograph. No, in the actual photograph, we

:55:14. > :55:17.have just a spot. These objects are so far away, they look just like a

:55:18. > :55:23.star in the photograph. We have to measure special properties of the

:55:24. > :55:29.light to be able to figure out what it is. We just said it was

:55:30. > :55:33.photographed in incredible detail, and you have a spot - how does that

:55:34. > :55:39.give you more information? It exploded and we had a little bit of

:55:40. > :55:42.luck, because we had a one second flash of very high energy gamma ray

:55:43. > :55:48.light, and satellites above the Earth captured and sent a signal to

:55:49. > :55:50.the ground, to robotic telescope, and they immediately started

:55:51. > :55:53.photographing that part of the sky. Normally, we are chasing these

:55:54. > :56:00.things after they have happen. And they are gone for ever after they

:56:01. > :56:07.have happened. This time, we saw the big explosion. What are we seeing?

:56:08. > :56:11.This is the incredibly bright spot. The other spots are stars in our own

:56:12. > :56:20.galaxy, the Milky Way, and that spot is brighter than most of those. A

:56:21. > :56:25.gamma ray burst, what does it do? It forms a black hole. And we have

:56:26. > :56:30.captured it in real-time. I got a message on my phone saying, there is

:56:31. > :56:33.a new black hole, so it is phenomenally exciting. This gave us

:56:34. > :56:39.a bit of warning, and you don't usually get that. When you create a

:56:40. > :56:42.black hole, and this is a really basic question and I may sound

:56:43. > :56:50.stupid, do you then see things being sucked into it or gravitating

:56:51. > :56:59.towards a? These stars are about 200 times the mass of the sun, and when

:57:00. > :57:03.the centre collapses, they are so massive that it forms a black hole

:57:04. > :57:06.about the same mass as our own Sun. The rest of the material is

:57:07. > :57:10.plastered. We used to think it would be blasted off in an expanding

:57:11. > :57:13.sphere, but we now realise because of experiments that the magnetic

:57:14. > :57:18.field act like a corkscrew and pull the material into a focused beam, a

:57:19. > :57:26.bit like a hosepipe, and this is shot out when it at Earth -- this is

:57:27. > :57:37.shot out, and when it points at Earth, we see a bright spot. The big

:57:38. > :57:42.question is, what would happen if one was in our Milky Way and pointed

:57:43. > :57:46.at the? We would be toast. You were saying that they don't always happen

:57:47. > :57:54.within our site, but is there any sign that it could happen? We used

:57:55. > :58:03.to think that this only happened in distant, young galaxies, and we have

:58:04. > :58:11.quite an old galaxy. A few years ago, we discovered a monster burst,

:58:12. > :58:14.Forest runners at very close distance. On the issue of

:58:15. > :58:19.binoculars, how big are the binoculars need to be? Just standard

:58:20. > :58:29.ones. Amateur astronomers, this was very bright. It only lasted one

:58:30. > :58:33.second? The gamma burst lasted for one second and then we had the

:58:34. > :58:36.explosion which went on for longer. Thanks for joining us.

:58:37. > :58:39.When bestselling novelist Patrick Gale was approached to write

:58:40. > :58:42.a screenplay based on being a gay man in the 20th century,

:58:43. > :58:43.he didn't need to look far for inspiration.

:58:44. > :58:47.He drew on the experiences of his father to write

:58:48. > :58:50.Man In An Orange Shirt, which is based on two love

:58:51. > :58:54.At the heart of the story is a wife's discovery of letters

:58:55. > :58:55.written by her husband to another man.

:58:56. > :00:07.Patrick Gale join us, along with Joanna Vanderham,

:00:08. > :00:20.PATRICK, THIS IS AN EXTRAORDINARY STORY AND ALL THE MORE EXTRAORDINARY

:00:21. > :00:27.BECAUSE THIS IS YOUR STORY, your... Sort of my story, it is based on my

:00:28. > :00:31.family. When I was 22 my mother told me this amazing story that when she

:00:32. > :00:35.was pregnant with me she was tidying my father's desk before they moved

:00:36. > :00:38.house and found a sheet of love letters which she shouldn't go from

:00:39. > :00:41.an old girlfriend he had never mentioned and when she started to

:00:42. > :00:47.read them she found they were from another man. This was 1961, it was

:00:48. > :00:57.totally illegal then, my father was a prison governor so she was

:00:58. > :01:00.terrified not only that he was breaking the law, or had been

:01:01. > :01:03.breaking the law, but that he would lose his job and go to prison so she

:01:04. > :01:05.burned the letters and never told him she had found them. She never

:01:06. > :01:08.confronted him? It was all very English. The funny thing is, when

:01:09. > :01:12.she told me this story, I think what she was saying to me was, don't

:01:13. > :01:15.worry, darling, you may think you are gay but one day you will meet a

:01:16. > :01:23.nice Christian woman like me who will burn your letters and forget

:01:24. > :01:28.your past! Was your father alive when your mother told you? He was,

:01:29. > :01:33.but we never spoke about it either. I have taken this in different

:01:34. > :01:35.directions, imagined what would happen if Joanna's character,

:01:36. > :01:40.loosely based on my mother, had confronted him and how it would play

:01:41. > :01:45.out. Joanna, given the age you are and the society you have grown up

:01:46. > :01:49.in, the mindset of that time and place where the secrets would be

:01:50. > :01:52.held within a family and the disgrace, if you like, as it was

:01:53. > :01:58.seen then, it is such a different time and place. It absolutely is. I

:01:59. > :02:02.really had to get my head around her reaction, Flora's reaction, because

:02:03. > :02:06.Patrick has written this wonderful scene where in the drama she does

:02:07. > :02:14.confront her husband about these letters and she calls him

:02:15. > :02:23.disgusting, criminal, don't touch me, the sort of common ignorance...

:02:24. > :02:33.And then she goes into labour! Via as well, I suppose? Of the future of

:02:34. > :02:38.her family -- fear as well. Exactly, and what is so heartbreaking about

:02:39. > :02:43.it if it is either lit with it in silence or be alone, those are her

:02:44. > :02:47.two choices, and ultimately it is this sort of love triangle where no

:02:48. > :02:52.one can really be with who they want to be weird because even though she

:02:53. > :02:57.stays married, he is not in the marriage in the way... All she wants

:02:58. > :03:09.is to be this wonderful mother and wife, and his homosexuality means

:03:10. > :03:12.that he cannot give her that so everybody is struggling with this

:03:13. > :03:17.life that they could have lived and that they don't, and because they

:03:18. > :03:21.don't talk about it the script is filled with this beautiful subtext

:03:22. > :03:34.of everybody just sitting on... It is full of dot-dot-dot! Those

:03:35. > :03:37.awkward silences. We have got Iggy Pop when your character is about to

:03:38. > :03:47.be married and the husband to be's lover appear. Hello, you must be...

:03:48. > :03:55.Daphne, older sister, matron of honour. Michael says you are an

:03:56. > :04:02.artist, how romantic? Hardly. Flora, how do you do? You look wonderful.

:04:03. > :04:05.Worth the wait. Thank you. I am sorry I could not come to your

:04:06. > :04:09.supper party, I am horribly unsociable when I am working.

:04:10. > :04:15.Talking of which, I bought you something, a wedding present. That

:04:16. > :04:28.is so sweet! We should probably... Michael. You came. Of course I came.

:04:29. > :04:32.I am curious what you said a moment ago about the silences around the

:04:33. > :04:34.issues in those times and yet you then said that in your own family

:04:35. > :04:38.your relationship with your father, and I know you are happy to share

:04:39. > :04:43.these things because you write about them, you also perpetuated some of

:04:44. > :04:48.that. That seems like a curious... It is very difficult because we want

:04:49. > :04:52.to stick labels on everything but I would never say that my father was

:04:53. > :04:56.gay. My father clearly had a great love with another man but that

:04:57. > :05:00.didn't define him, and I truly believe that he loved my mother and

:05:01. > :05:03.felt that by marrying her he was changing direction, doing his

:05:04. > :05:07.Christian duty, and he loved being a father as well. I think he would

:05:08. > :05:20.have been horrified to have any kind of label stuck on him like this, so

:05:21. > :05:23.what I have tried to do in this drama is explore that middle ground

:05:24. > :05:26.so Joanna and all the's characters, they are married to each other, they

:05:27. > :05:29.try to love each other, they do their best, but I wanted it to be as

:05:30. > :05:33.much a story about women and the shame that gets put on to women when

:05:34. > :05:35.they feel their marriages are less than perfect or their motherhood is

:05:36. > :05:38.less than perfect, as much about that as the gay character. You are

:05:39. > :05:42.doing another programme on Saturday as well, Man In An Orange Shirt is

:05:43. > :05:45.on Monday at 9pm, do you think we are close to saying, it is just a

:05:46. > :05:49.love story, rather than convert this is a gay love story? I would love

:05:50. > :05:56.that, I would love that because it is two difficult love stories,

:05:57. > :05:59.episode two has a different love story related to the first and it is

:06:00. > :06:03.about the difficulty of getting what you want and being happy. Presumably

:06:04. > :06:06.even dramas have to have a label on them, maybe we will get to a point

:06:07. > :06:13.where you don't have to love, this is a gay drama. Yes, I think we are

:06:14. > :06:18.getting there and this story will help. But at the moment I don't

:06:19. > :06:22.think we're quite there yet. I know when I was growing up, 12, 14, if a

:06:23. > :06:26.show like this had come on television it would have made a huge

:06:27. > :06:30.difference because at that age when you are stuck at home with your

:06:31. > :06:34.family, television is a hugely important resource of role models.

:06:35. > :06:36.Patrick, Joanna, thank you for coming.

:06:37. > :06:43.Man In An Orange Shirt starts on BBC Two on Monday at 9pm.

:06:44. > :06:48.In a moment we will speak to the Call The Midwife star Stephen

:06:49. > :08:21.McGann. First, a last, brief

:08:22. > :08:22.McGann. London News at 1:30pm. Now, let's

:08:23. > :08:31.head back to BBC Breakfast. He's probably best known for playing

:08:32. > :08:34.Doctor Patrick Turner in Call The Midwife,

:08:35. > :08:37.set in the early days of the NHS, but Stephen McGann's own family tree

:08:38. > :08:39.is equally intertwined In his new book, Stephen explores

:08:40. > :08:47.the role that health care, or rather the lack of it,

:08:48. > :08:59.played in shaping the lives of his I know you are interested in your

:09:00. > :09:04.family history, but why a, and it does work, I didn't know if it

:09:05. > :09:09.would, why do you think relating it to medicine, or maladies, makes this

:09:10. > :09:14.so interesting? I started when I was 17 looking at my family treat, I

:09:15. > :09:17.have an interest in this not just as Patrick Turner on TV but I had an

:09:18. > :09:22.academic background in ideas of medicine and the way it relates to

:09:23. > :09:25.society and how we think as a society about social medicine, if

:09:26. > :09:29.you like. When I had an idea for this but it was because I was

:09:30. > :09:33.looking back at all these records and you see this strange, steer

:09:34. > :09:38.Latin phrases on death certificates and I think, they are interesting

:09:39. > :09:50.phrases, you need to find out more. These diseases kept coming through,

:09:51. > :09:52.things you don't hear much about, things like smallpox, and the one

:09:53. > :09:55.that started me off with this book, I was looking at two of my ancestors

:09:56. > :09:58.and they were in this wonderful second port of the Empire and two

:09:59. > :10:05.children died of starvation... When are we talking about? This was the

:10:06. > :10:09.1860s. So I tell a story of 150 years of my family but through the

:10:10. > :10:13.ailments and diseases, and I call it maladies because some of them are

:10:14. > :10:17.more than one tiny illness, they are sometimes maladies of the head which

:10:18. > :10:23.they have to conquer. Being an actor as well, I was interested in,

:10:24. > :10:26.imagine it is the baddie in a drama, the antagonist, some people it makes

:10:27. > :10:31.them stronger, some people succumb, how did we get to where I am today,

:10:32. > :10:34.what were these people like and how did they have the strength to go on?

:10:35. > :10:38.Tell me about the McCann family, because people know you and your

:10:39. > :10:41.brothers from television work, was everyone happy about your

:10:42. > :10:45.exploration into the past? Within families some people have different

:10:46. > :10:50.attitudes, some love to know things and others say, let's leave that bit

:10:51. > :10:55.up the story there. Is everyone comfortable? It is fantastic, they

:10:56. > :10:59.were really supportive of it, I had a particularly nice message from

:11:00. > :11:03.Paul, you said, thank God we had you! I was the nerd when I was a kid

:11:04. > :11:07.looking at all the records, and it was lovely, you said, thank God you

:11:08. > :11:13.can articulate! Tell others who is who. There is marked, Joe, my little

:11:14. > :11:17.sister Claire, me and Paul. This is us in Brooklyn is, coming second in

:11:18. > :11:24.a happy family 's competition! This was me and my lovely wife Heidi. You

:11:25. > :11:28.have taken on the role of family historian, medical historian? It is

:11:29. > :11:31.a strange thing for them to suddenly see themselves but because we have

:11:32. > :11:35.active in the family, you look at your family history not us, we don't

:11:36. > :11:39.want to talk about these peasants, because many of my people were

:11:40. > :11:43.peasants, but as actors we look at characters and even if they did bad

:11:44. > :11:51.things all good things, you try to look at their motivation, how did he

:11:52. > :11:54.survive in a prisoner of war camp... This was uncle Billy, this is one

:11:55. > :11:58.character that stands out, without ruining the story, you spoke about

:11:59. > :12:03.strength and how people dealt with these maladies, and he was almost

:12:04. > :12:08.apologetic for being strong and rough and a bit of a scrapper. Is

:12:09. > :12:13.that the only way he got through, he was a prisoner of war? He was, of

:12:14. > :12:17.the Japanese, out in the far east. One of the most moving things, and

:12:18. > :12:21.without saying too much about the story, me and my brother Mark were

:12:22. > :12:27.children and he told us just once of this terrible war and at the very

:12:28. > :12:33.end of this long, harrowing story, which is in the book, this speech he

:12:34. > :12:38.gave still, for a hard man, a tough but kind man, was one of the most

:12:39. > :12:42.moving things and he said, basically, I saw artists, good men,

:12:43. > :12:48.gentlemen, strong and, I watched them with a because they were not

:12:49. > :12:53.hard, tough street kids like me, and I knew how to hate, how to survive,

:12:54. > :12:58.but he resented that, he resented the fact that there were only people

:12:59. > :13:07.like him rescued by the Australians who finally walked three and he

:13:08. > :13:09.said, we were robbed of those good people. And for a man like him to

:13:10. > :13:12.look at those people with compassion, with the sophistication

:13:13. > :13:14.as well, was so moving, even as a child. There are some fascinating

:13:15. > :13:16.stories in there, thank you so much. He is a good storyteller!

:13:17. > :13:18.Stephen McGann's book is called Flesh And Blood:

:13:19. > :13:20.A History Of My Family In Seven Maladies.

:13:21. > :13:23.We will be back here tomorrow from six.

:13:24. > :13:36.Now it's time for Wild UK with Lucy Cooke and Colin Stafford-Johnson.

:13:37. > :13:43.the Wild Alaska Live team are witnessing
