Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Naga | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
A major step towards creating a new immigration policy | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
Ministers launch a study into the role of EU nationals living | :00:12. | :00:19. | |
But critics claim it is too little, too late. | :00:20. | :00:39. | |
Good morning, it is Thursday 27 July. | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
Also this morning: Should you stop taking antibiotics before finishing | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
That is the suggestion from one group of experts, | :00:45. | :00:52. | |
Prince William prepares for his final shift as an air | :00:53. | :00:57. | |

As the Government plans to phase out petrol and diesel cars by 2040, | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
is the UK car industry ready to go electric? | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
I will look at what it could mean for us, and for our big carmakers. | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
In sport: Adam Peaty completes the double-double | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
He wins gold in the 50 metres breaststroke, | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
and narrowly misses out on breaking his own world record. | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
Good morning. Today is a day of sunshine and showers. Some of the | :01:22. | :01:36. | |
showers will be heavy and thundery, and some of them will merge, giving | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
longer spells of rain across north-west Scotland. But it is also | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
going to be pretty windy. I will have more details in 15 minutes. | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
First, our main story: It is being described as a major | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
step in developing a new immigration policy for Britain, post-Brexit. | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
The Home Secretary, Amber Rudd, is asking independent migration | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
experts to analyse the role of EU nationals living and working | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
They will report back next September, six months before | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
the UK's deadline to leave the European Union. | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
However, critics say the study has been commissioned too late. | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
Our political correspondent Iain Watson is in Westminster for us. | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
Iain, why has this assessment been commissioned now? | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
It is so close to the end of negotiations. Absolutely. I am at | :02:18. | :02:26. | |
Westminster, of course, and the MPs are on holidays and it is | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
interesting this has been announced when it can't necessarily be | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
scrutinised by parliamentarians. The announcement, as you say, comes | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
today but the report doesn't come until September and although we are | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
leaving the European Union in 2019, that looks as though there will be | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
plenty of time, don't forget the government has to get a new | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
emigration bill through towards 2019 as well, so some suggest this is | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
leaving it rather late in the day. A major study will look at the impact | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
of EU migration in Britain, looking at what will happen if you cut | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
migration in certain industries and certain regions of the country. It | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
will also look at whether low skilled immigration has had an | :03:05. | :03:06. | |
adverse effect on the British economy as well. Some critics are | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
saying in effect the government is preparing the ground to soften its | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
stance on immigration, to take a flexible stance when free movement | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
ends, potentially, in 2019, and Amber Rudd, who commissioned this, | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
has made it clear they will be what is called an implementation period | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
after the exit. We might still see quite high levels of immigration -- | :03:29. | :03:30. | |
after Brexit. The notion that you should always | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
finish a course of antibiotics, even if you feel better, | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
is being challenged by a group Writing in the British Medical | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
Journal, they argue taking antibiotics for longer | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
than necessary can raise the risk of developing a resistance | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
to the drugs. But the Government's chief medical | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
officer says people shouldn't change their behaviour | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
because of one study. Growing resistance to antibiotics is | :03:50. | :04:01. | |
an increasing problem around the world. They have become less | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
effective, because we take so many of them. That means deadly | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
infections spread more easily. Now, some researchers say it is time to | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
end the blanket description that every course should be completed. | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
Writing in the British Medical Journal, the group of experts claim | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
there is no evidence that stopping some antibiotic treatment early | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
increases the risk of infection. They accept more research is needed, | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
but suggest new advice, like stock taking them when you feel better, | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
could help -- stop taking them. There is already an NHS campaign to | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
cut the use of antibiotics. The Chief Medical Officer says the | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
evidence will be reviewed, but that for now the message remains, you | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
should stick to prescriptions and always follow the doctor's advice. | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
The parents of the terminally ill baby Charlie Gard have until midday | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
to agree with Great Ormond Street Hospital how his life will end. | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
They have accepted that Charlie will spend his last days | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
in a hospice, rather than at home, but Chris Gard and Connie Yates | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
are asking to spend more time with their son before life support | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
Wildfires are continuing to burn in parts of southern France. | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
Thousands of people have been forced to leave their homes and campsites | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
around the town of Bormes-les-Mimosas. | :05:21. | :05:21. | |
Many are spending a second night on beaches, or in sports halls | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
At least 6,000 firefighters and troops are now battling the flames. | :05:25. | :05:34. | |
For a third night, the skies glowed red in southern France, | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
as fierce wildfires continued | :05:41. | :05:41. | |
Hillsides engulfed by flames in Bormes-les-Mimosas, | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
Local residents joining firefighters to battle the blaze that has forced | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
the evacuation of over 10,000 people. | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
Having watched the flames inch closer and closer on Wednesday, | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
thousands of tourists took the chance to flee. | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
Many had spent the last two nights in the public shelters or camping | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
TRANSLATION: We evacuate because the fire is coming | :06:06. | :06:18. | |
close to the place, | :06:19. | :06:19. | |
We left with our clothes and a little food. | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
Residents who fled the flames have now begun to return to assess | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
the damage to their homes and properties, | :06:29. | :06:29. | |
TRANSLATION: All of a sudden, we were in front of a wall | :06:30. | :06:39. | |
of flames, near the cypress trees. | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
We took some belongings, we took the two dogs, | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
TRANSLATION: I climbed high on the crest, and I saw a picture | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
of desolation, because all the camping was surrounded | :06:53. | :06:54. | |
with flames, and we couldn't do anything. | :06:55. | :06:56. | |
Meeting some of the crews and volunteers on the frontline, | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe said | :07:00. | :07:00. | |
there would be an enquiry into the fire's cause, | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
which some have blamed on an arsonists. | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
The powerful and destructive combination of heat and wind set | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
to fuel these fires, and test these firefighters once again. | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
The Prime Minister has said the Conservatives have come a long | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
way on the issue of gay rights, but that there is still more to do | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
Theresa May was marking the 50th anniversary today of the partial | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
decriminalisation of homosexuality in England and Wales. | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
It meant homosexuality amongst men over the age of 21 was no longer | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
An extraordinary number of unlawful sentences are being imposed in | :07:36. | :07:45. | |
criminal cases because the legislation is so complicated, | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
according to the Independent Roddy which advises the government. -- | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
independent body. They suggest that laws should be simplified into one | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
document to ensure that people get the justice they deserve. | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
The police watchdog says figures gathered by the BBC suggest | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
there are major inconsistencies in the way police forces | :08:05. | :08:06. | |
across England and Wales are enforcing drug-driving laws. | :08:07. | :08:08. | |
Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary said data | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
from a Radio one Newsbeat investigation indicated some forces | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
They are on the lookout for anyone who might have taken drugs and got | :08:14. | :08:24. | |
The driver is tested for drugs using a sample of his saliva, | :08:25. | :08:53. | |
and it comes back positive for cannabis. | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
I'm going to place you under arrest on suapicion | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
He is arrested, which means a trip back to the station, | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
If found guilty, he faces a minimum 12-month driving ban, | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
and could be sentenced to up to six | :09:10. | :09:11. | |
Since the law changed on drug-driving two years ago, | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
it is now illegal to have a certain level of up to 17 drugs | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
in your system and get behind the wheel. | :09:20. | :09:21. | |
Eight of them are illegal ones, like cannabis, ecstasy and cocaine, | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
and nine of them are prescription drugs, ones | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
We asked all 43 forces in England and Wales how many drug-driving | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
arrests they have made since the change. | :09:32. | :09:33. | |
To try to get some sense of comparison between forces, | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
we divided that by the number of officers each one has. | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
Some forces made one arrest for every one or two officers, | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
others made one arrest for every 19, 24, or 28 officers. | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
These figures must be treated with caution, | :09:46. | :09:47. | |
because they don't take into account if drug-driving is more | :09:48. | :09:49. | |
or less common in different parts of England and Wales, | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
and the police watchdog says they can only offer a snapshot | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
into how this law is policed, but do provide interesting insight | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
into the much wider issue of drug driving. | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
Is an Inspectorate we would ask that they check that they are being as | :10:02. | :10:10. | |
careful as they should be. The inspector says they sometimes had to | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
share resources, to meet demands to keep the public safe. | :10:15. | :10:16. | |
President Trump's new spokesman has said he is 100% certain the US | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
will be able strike a trade deal with the UK after Brexit. | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
Anthony Scaramucci, the White House communications director, | :10:27. | :10:28. | |
told the BBC's Newsnight programme that Mr Trump loved the UK, | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
and he highlighted the special relationship between the two | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
countries as a reason why he believed a deal would be agreed. | :10:35. | :10:43. | |
So think about the special relationship we have had since the | :10:44. | :10:51. | |
creation of this great nation. This nation was a group of guys who | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
thought you know what? We are going to break away from the other nation | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
and start our own country. This is a disruptive start up. You know the | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
President is doing? We are going to... Does that mean making | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
concessions to do trade with the UK? Does it mean you will meet us | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
halfway? Does it mean we have to give in to you? No, I don't think | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
so. He is about reciprocity. He is about fair and equal trade. | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
Now, alien life might be living closer to us | :11:20. | :11:21. | |
A study suggests that every one of us contains atoms that originated | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
Scientists in the US have discovered that up to half the matter | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
which makes up the sun, the earth, and even our own bodies, | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
used to belong to other clusters of stars and was blown | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
Until now, galaxies were thought to have been formed largely | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
The Duke of Cambridge will begin his last shift as an air | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
ambulance pilot today, before taking up his royal duties full-time. | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
For the past two years, he has been working | :11:48. | :11:49. | |
for the East Anglian Air Ambulance service. | :11:50. | :11:51. | |
Writing in the Eastern Daily Press this morning, he says he has been | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
Our royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell reports. | :11:56. | :12:02. | |
It is a job which has clearly meant a great deal to him, to work as a | :12:03. | :12:09. | |
member of the emergency services, valued for what he does rather than | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
who he is. Flying an air ambulance and helping to save lives. It was | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
more than two years ago that William first reported for duty with the | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
East Anglian Air Ambulance. He had finished as an RAF search and rescue | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
pilot, but chose to retrain and qualify for this new role. On his | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
first morning he explained how much it mattered to him. I am just | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
fantastically excited to be here today, the first day. It has been a | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
long time coming. It has been many exams and training to get here, and | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
I am hugely excited to be joining a very professional bunch of guys and | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
girls, doing some unique, complex jobs with the air ambulance. In the | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
months since, William has piloted the air ambulance to scores of | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
emergencies. He has seen tragedy and extreme emotion in close quarters. | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
Writing in the eastern daily press this morning he says he is hugely | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
grateful for having had the experience. He says it has instilled | :13:03. | :13:04. | |
in him... After tonight's shift, William will | :13:05. | :13:15. | |
embark on the role which has been his destiny, as a full-time, working | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
member of the British Royal family, taking on more responsibilities in | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
support of his grandmother, but with what are clearly deeply embedded | :13:24. | :13:31. | |
memories of his time as pilot William Wales of the East Anglian | :13:32. | :13:33. | |
Air Ambulance servers. Haven't we had some great news? | :13:34. | :13:48. | |
Well, Adam Peaty has had a great week. He wanted to see what was left | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
in the tank, and gold was left in the tank. | :13:53. | :13:53. | |
Britain's Adam Peaty says he has been on a rollercoaster of emotions | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
this week, after he won his second gold at the World Aquatic | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
He won the 50 metres breaststroke title yesterday, | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
adding to the 100 metres he won on Monday. | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
But he just missed breaking his own world record, | :14:06. | :14:07. | |
winning with a time of 25.99 seconds. | :14:08. | :14:09. | |
12-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic won't play again this | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
It means he will miss this year's US Open. | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
He says he has been struggling with the injury for 18 months. | :14:17. | :14:24. | |
England's cricketers will look to retake a series lead | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
against South Africa when the third Test starts later at the Oval. | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
Middlesex's Toby Roland-Jones will make his Test debut. | :14:31. | :14:32. | |
The series is currently level at 1-1. | :14:33. | :14:34. | |
There was frustration for Celtic as they were held to a goalless draw | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
by Norwegian champions Rosenborg in the first leg | :14:39. | :14:40. | |
of their Champions League third-round qualifier. | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
Interesting to see Novak Djokovic said that his injury is worse than | :14:47. | :14:56. | |
he wanted to admit. If you saw him at Wimbledon, you would understand. | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
It is not going to get better. It is the trend, rest. We will look at the | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
papers in a moment. Here's Carol with a look | :15:05. | :15:06. | |
at this morning's weather. Seems to be more rain around. Yes, | :15:07. | :15:15. | |
you are quite right. Sunshine and showers are some of us have some | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
rain, and we will all see some rain and showers in the next couple of | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
days. That is forecast for today. Some of the showers heavy and | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
thundery possibly. We have low pressure driving the weather. The | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
centre is close to the north-west. Some of the showers will merge in | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
Scotland and longer spells of rain accompanied by dusty wind. The wind | :15:39. | :15:45. | |
picking up this evening. So it is dry to start and bright. Showers | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
will get going, as is the way with showers, hit and miss. They could be | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
heavy and thundery. It will be quite breezy as well. That will accentuate | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
the chilly feel if you are in the shower. Into the afternoon, in | :16:01. | :16:07. | |
Leeds, 17 Celsius and the concoction of bright spells, sunshine and | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
showers. When I say bright spells, winning areas of cloud. It will be | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
bright although you won't have the sunshine. Temperatures in Plymouth | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
around 17 and in Wales it is a mixture of right spells, sunshine | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
and showers. You will be dodging the showers through the course of the | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
day. Northern Ireland has a similar story. It is breezy in the | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
north-west coast, it is breezy in the west coast of Scotland, later on | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
the wind will pick up, touching gales in exposed areas, and inland | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
Scotland has bright spells, sunshine and showers. Overnight, some of the | :16:44. | :16:50. | |
showers will fade. As a system comes in across western Scotland and | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
Northern Ireland, we will see a period of rain and windy conditions. | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
The rain moving steadily eastwards. Dry weather around overnight. | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
Temperatures similar to the night just gone. Tomorrow, and not start | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
on a bright and right note with some sunshine. You can see the cloud | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
building through the day. There will be further showers across from the | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
west to the east. This band of rain comes from the south-west and it | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
will spread north-east was through the day. Some of this could prove to | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
be heavy. On the plus note, if you are in northern England, it will be | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
a fine day. And if you are setting up tomorrow at the festival, rain on | :17:30. | :17:36. | |
the way. However, the northern edge of the rain is still open to | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
question. On Saturday, cloud in the south-east, maybe some rain. We will | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
see rain in central southern England and East Anglia. Showers cross from | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
the north. In between, dry and bright weather. And they look on | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
Sunday. We are back into this regime of sunshine and showers and quite | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
breezy with highs in any sunshine up to 22 degrees. Charlie and Naga, how | :18:00. | :18:06. | |
many ways can you say sunshine and showers and make it more | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
interesting? Showers and sunshine. That is harder to say. Anyway that | :18:10. | :18:17. | |
Carol says it is interesting. Good morning. We are talking about cars | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
later. Really interesting. And not in the papers about it. And on the | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
front page, the announcement yesterday, calling air plan | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
condemned as weak and inadequate, this is on the banning of petrol and | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
diesel cars from 2040 and the measures which may come into place | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
for local authorities in between. These pictures in quite a couple of | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
the papers, the fires in the south of France. We will keep you posted | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
on those. Problems with the wildfires. They are happening in the | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
south of France. Holidaymakers forced to sleep on the beach while | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
firefighters tackle the blazes. A couple of stories, one we are | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
looking at, finishing antibiotics could harm you. A report in the | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
British Medical Journal says you may not need to take antibiotics for the | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
full course and that there might be justification to stop taking | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
antibiotics when you feel better. Some doctors say you can't rely on | :19:20. | :19:26. | |
just one report. And care home cover-up is the lead story. It is an | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
investigation taking a look at the suspected attack of an autistic man | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
by a high risk sex offender in a care home. There is investigation | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
into that. Those stories reflected in the Daily Telegraph. Ben, the | :19:42. | :19:48. | |
electric car story? It talks about how it focuses the mind, this is | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
inside the Daily Telegraph, talking about changing habits. The deadline | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
is 23 years away. Will it change what we think about buying cars? Yes | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
and no. If you are in the showroom and thinking about making a | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
purchase, maybe you would consider a hybrid car which uses electricity | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
and traditional fuel. A lot of questions. We will try to answer | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
them this morning on where the electricity will come from and what | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
it means for hybrid cars. Still lots of questions. Nonetheless the | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
consensus with a lot of people I spoke with yesterday is that this is | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
23 years away. There is concern about the logistics that go with it | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
and whether it will change minds before the deadline in 2040. 23 | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
years to get used to it. You probably won't be driving the car | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
that you buy now in 23 years. And also whether it is redundant | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
technology in 2040. We'll petrol and diesel cars still be around? They | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
are banning something that might not be used anyway. I am so used to it. | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
I will give you some Adam Peaty news. We talked about what he eats, | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
how he trains, the music you listen is to he likes grime, likes Dr Dre, | :21:05. | :21:11. | |
and sometimes he says he feels like listening to classical music. | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
Anything that makes him feel aggressive to get into the pool and | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
put on performances. They get very pumped. A lot of it is | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
psychological. It is all about mindset. We are talking to his mum | :21:22. | :21:28. | |
and gran later. And something in the Express, Wayne Rooney has played his | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
first match for Everton, but he is going to be playing at Goodison Park | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
for them tonight. And lots of the papers this morning talking about | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
Ross Barkley, Ronald Kunin, Everton manager, has been really candid. And | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
how often do we see that? When you see them fight the answer. He is | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
honest and he said he wants to leave and that is how it is. If I hold up | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
this chart, you get the idea. How strong do you take your tea is the | :22:00. | :22:08. | |
question. You have one, two, three, four A, B, C, D. It is a highly | :22:09. | :22:15. | |
underrated skill. When someone makes you a very good cup of tea. Where | :22:16. | :22:23. | |
would you be, Naga? I always match it with my collar. I would either be | :22:24. | :22:33. | |
1D or 2C. OK. This is what we have to put up with if you make Naga a | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
cup of tea in the morning. When was the last time you made me a cup of | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
tea? That is why. There was a discussion between three people this | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
morning on how you like your tea before you even got here. That is | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
how nervous everyone is. It is because they care. Shall I rescue | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
the situation? I am enjoying this! Thank you. | :22:56. | :22:57. | |
The need for food banks is well documented but now a charity says | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
growing numbers are facing so-called hygiene poverty, | :23:01. | :23:02. | |
where people are unable to afford products such | :23:03. | :23:04. | |
In Kind Direct surveyed 1,000 people and found almost 40% said they had | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
gone without or cut back on essential toiletries | :23:10. | :23:11. | |
Breakfast's Jayne McCubbin has been to see how a pilot project | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
in Scotland is providing free sanitary products for women on low | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
Jacob has just turned one but when he was born his mum bled heavily. | :23:19. | :23:35. | |
Struggling to get by on her husband's salary, she had to ask for | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
help. I was going through sanitary towels and maternity pads. I had to | :23:41. | :23:47. | |
ask help from friends and family which was great. It is unfair that | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
we have to pay a lot of money to get something that is basic. In this | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
Dundee food bank people tell me it is an expense that they struggle to | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
meet each month, that period poverty is a reality. You're not the only | :24:02. | :24:08. | |
woman in your house? No. I have a daughter. You need those. You have | :24:09. | :24:17. | |
to work out what it will be, gas, electric, you need food, other | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
things first. If this is a problem, how widespread is it? Today a survey | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
speaks of wider hygiene poverty. 37% of those questioned said they had to | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
go without hygiene essentials due to a lack of funds. That figure rose to | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
56% amongst 18- 24 -year-olds. How big is this issue for people? What | :24:39. | :24:45. | |
are women telling you? One of the most harrowing stories was an | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
encounter with a lady who had to supplement the use of sanitary items | :24:50. | :24:52. | |
with newspaper. That was heartbreaking. Earlier this year | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
reports of girls missing school because they couldn't afford to | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
towels and tampons led to a promise in Westminster to look into the | :25:04. | :25:06. | |
possibility of offering free products in schools and colleges in | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
England. One Welsh council is doing the same. The government in Scotland | :25:12. | :25:18. | |
has gone further. It has launched a six-month pilot scheme to give away | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
products like this to women on low incomes. Depending on how that | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
scheme goes it could be rolled out across the country, making Scotland | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
the first in the world to give away sanitary items to women who can't | :25:31. | :25:37. | |
afford it. I want to eradicate... Some want to see even more women and | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
girls benefit. Some want to write for free sanitary products in | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
Scotland to be universal. -- right. Open to all. I think it should be | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
for all women. There could be people watching who say this is a matter of | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
prioritised something that is not an expensive product. It can be very | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
expensive, particularly over a woman's lifetime. It is a case of, | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
if men had periods, we wouldn't have this conversation. What would you | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
say to the men who might be watching who say, I don't get a free razor, | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
why should women have free sanitary products? I don't get free raises | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
either. You can cope with stubble but you cannot cope with menstrual | :26:20. | :26:25. | |
blood. It isn't the same. It is an unavoidable expense which should | :26:26. | :26:28. | |
become a tiny bit cheaper in April next year, that is when VAT on these | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
sanitary products is scrapped. But Scotland is leading the way in | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
helping to make these essential items free for some, possibly for | :26:39. | :26:40. | |
all. We are going to speak with a hygiene | :26:41. | :26:48. | |
poverty campaigner in about one hour. | :26:49. | :26:50. | |
Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. | :26:51. | :30:07. | |
Plenty more on our website at the usual address. | :30:08. | :30:17. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Naga | :30:18. | :30:20. | |
We will bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment. | :30:21. | :30:30. | |
But also on Breakfast this morning: The end of the road could be | :30:31. | :30:34. | |
So how will the Government's plans to ban new sales by 2040 | :30:35. | :30:39. | |
Also this morning: As powerful Peaty completes a double-double | :30:40. | :30:44. | |
at the World Championships, we will speak to his biggest fan | :30:45. | :30:47. | |
And, after 9:00am, a wife finds her husband's love letters | :30:48. | :30:54. | |
We will be joined by the writer of a powerful new BBC drama, | :30:55. | :30:59. | |
But now a summary of this morning's main news: | :31:00. | :31:09. | |
It is being described as a major step in developing a new immigration | :31:10. | :31:13. | |
The Home Secretary, Amber Rudd, is asking independent migration | :31:14. | :31:16. | |
experts to analyse the role of EU nationals living and working | :31:17. | :31:19. | |
They will report back next September, six months before | :31:20. | :31:25. | |
the UK's deadline to leave the European Union. | :31:26. | :31:27. | |
However, critics say the study has been commissioned too late. | :31:28. | :31:30. | |
Our political correspondent Iain Watson is in Westminster for us. | :31:31. | :31:33. | |
Iain, why has this assessment been commissioned now? | :31:34. | :31:35. | |
That criticism will be quite loud considering there is no one to | :31:36. | :31:41. | |
debate this. It is empty behind me, because it is the recess. MPs went | :31:42. | :31:47. | |
off last Thursday, so of course this announcement could have been made | :31:48. | :31:50. | |
reasonably about a week ago. And I think what is interesting is this is | :31:51. | :31:54. | |
a major study into EU migration. It is something which I think people | :31:55. | :31:58. | |
would want to comment on, the broad thrust of it, looking at what areas | :31:59. | :32:03. | |
in Britain might be impacted if we cut EU migration. Four out of ten | :32:04. | :32:08. | |
migrants last year came from the EU. Also what industries would be | :32:09. | :32:12. | |
affected. Interesting that Amber Rudd was riding in the FT this | :32:13. | :32:15. | |
morning, a business newspaper, about her plans as well. So I think the | :32:16. | :32:20. | |
government wants to reassure business there will be no cliff edge | :32:21. | :32:24. | |
after Britain leaves the European Union after 2019. In other words, | :32:25. | :32:29. | |
that the government takes a flexible approach to immigration after that | :32:30. | :32:32. | |
time. Therefore it may be the case that some MPs could have criticised | :32:33. | :32:36. | |
the government had they been here, on two fronts. Some saying they | :32:37. | :32:40. | |
should have done this year ago, after the referendum, and others | :32:41. | :32:44. | |
saying are we sticking with our guns, are we really going to be | :32:45. | :32:49. | |
about controlling migration after Brexit. | :32:50. | :32:50. | |
The notion that you should always finish a course of antibiotics, | :32:51. | :32:53. | |
even if you feel better, is being challenged by a group | :32:54. | :32:56. | |
Writing in the British Medical Journal, it is argued that taking | :32:57. | :33:00. | |
antibiotics for longer than necessary can raise the risk | :33:01. | :33:03. | |
of developing a resistance to the drugs. | :33:04. | :33:05. | |
However, England's Chief Medical Officer says people shouldn't | :33:06. | :33:07. | |
change their behaviour because of one study. | :33:08. | :33:12. | |
Wildfires are continuing to burn in parts of southern France. | :33:13. | :33:15. | |
Thousands of people have been forced to leave their homes and campsites | :33:16. | :33:18. | |
around the town of Bormes-les-Mimosas. | :33:19. | :33:19. | |
Many are spending a second night on beaches, or in sports halls | :33:20. | :33:23. | |
At least 6,000 firefighters and troops are now battling the flames. | :33:24. | :33:31. | |
The Prime Minister has said the Conservatives have come a long | :33:32. | :33:33. | |
way on the issue of gay rights, but that there is still more to do | :33:34. | :33:37. | |
Theresa May was marking the 50th anniversary today of the partial | :33:38. | :33:41. | |
decriminalisation of homosexuality in England and Wales. | :33:42. | :33:43. | |
It decriminalised homosexual acts in private between men aged | :33:44. | :33:46. | |
One person has been killed and several injured | :33:47. | :33:53. | |
after an accident on a ride at the Ohio State Fair. | :33:54. | :33:56. | |
Fire chief Steve Martin told local media outlets victims were thrown | :33:57. | :33:59. | |
from the Fireball spinning pendulum ride in the city of Columbus. | :34:00. | :34:02. | |
At least one of the injured is in a critical condition. | :34:03. | :34:05. | |
He said a full investigation would be carried out. | :34:06. | :34:12. | |
There has been an angry reaction to President Trump's surprise | :34:13. | :34:15. | |
decision to ban transgender people from the US armed forces. | :34:16. | :34:21. | |
Hundreds of protesters gathered in Times Square, holding signs saying | :34:22. | :34:28. | |
that resist, and we object. One of the most senior British Navy | :34:29. | :34:32. | |
officials tweeted to say he was so proud of our transgender personnel. | :34:33. | :34:37. | |
They bring diversity, and I will always support the desire to serve | :34:38. | :34:39. | |
their country. The Duke of Cambridge | :34:40. | :34:39. | |
will begin his last shift as an air ambulance pilot today, before taking | :34:40. | :34:42. | |
up his royal duties full-time. For the past two years | :34:43. | :34:45. | |
he has been working for the East Anglian | :34:46. | :34:48. | |
Air Ambulance service. Writing in the Eastern Daily Press | :34:49. | :34:50. | |
this morning, he says he has been A group of polar bears at a zoo | :34:51. | :34:53. | |
in Lapland got an early wintry treat when truckloads of | :34:54. | :34:58. | |
snow were delivered. It was transported from a nearby ski | :34:59. | :35:00. | |
centre that had been holding the snow from the previous winter | :35:01. | :35:03. | |
for the start of the new ski season. With July temperatures | :35:04. | :35:07. | |
reaching 25 degrees, however, the bears' fun | :35:08. | :35:08. | |
in the snow may be short-lived. For the moment they seem to be | :35:09. | :35:22. | |
enjoying it. They look so happy. They do, don't they? And we are | :35:23. | :35:31. | |
talking about Adam Peaty winning again. We will be talking to his | :35:32. | :35:36. | |
grandmother later, and his mum. Looking forward to that. I know | :35:37. | :35:38. | |
everybody has really got behind him. Britain's Adam Peaty says he is over | :35:39. | :35:40. | |
the moon with his performances this week at the World Aquatic | :35:41. | :35:44. | |
Championships in Budapest. He took the 50 metres | :35:45. | :35:46. | |
breaststroke title yesterday, adding to the 100 metres he won | :35:47. | :35:48. | |
on Monday, but he just missed out on breaking his own world | :35:49. | :35:52. | |
record for the third time. He said he has been | :35:53. | :35:55. | |
on a rollercoaster of emotions this week, breaking records, | :35:56. | :35:58. | |
then getting back in the pool Yes, very good. It is quite | :35:59. | :36:07. | |
exhausting coming out, switching off, switching on, especially the | :36:08. | :36:11. | |
night with the double. I am so, so happy with my performances here. | :36:12. | :36:17. | |
225 points now, and I know that there is more in that. | :36:18. | :36:20. | |
I don't want to spoil it for next year. | :36:21. | :36:23. | |
Peaty says he credits much of his success to his nan, | :36:24. | :36:26. | |
You might remember her from the Rio Olympics last summer. | :36:27. | :36:30. | |
She wasn't able to travel to Brazil because of ill health, | :36:31. | :36:33. | |
so she watched Peaty's performances at her home in Staffordshire. | :36:34. | :36:36. | |
She has been out to Budapest this time, though, and says she has been | :36:37. | :36:39. | |
To be here at this time meant the world to me. It is very touching, | :36:40. | :36:51. | |
really. I couldn't go and see him in Rio, but as I say, this has made up | :36:52. | :36:57. | |
for everything. And I am so, so please I have come. And it is 20 | :36:58. | :37:02. | |
years since I have flown, but it was well worth it. | :37:03. | :37:04. | |
12-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic won't play again this | :37:05. | :37:07. | |
It means he will miss this year's US Open. | :37:08. | :37:11. | |
Djokovic retired hurt during his quarter-final | :37:12. | :37:12. | |
at Wimbledon, and said he was considering taking a break | :37:13. | :37:15. | |
to recover from the long-standing injury. | :37:16. | :37:17. | |
He says he doesn't need surgery, but rest is necessary. | :37:18. | :37:25. | |
There was frustration for Celtic as they were held to a goalless draw | :37:26. | :37:29. | |
by Norwegian champions Rosenborg in the first leg | :37:30. | :37:31. | |
of their Champions League third-round qualifier. | :37:32. | :37:32. | |
The sides meet again next Wednesday to decide which team progresses | :37:33. | :37:35. | |
The loser will drop into the Europa League play-off round. | :37:36. | :37:42. | |
Last season showed that we actually scored more goals away from home. So | :37:43. | :37:51. | |
yes, it is still evenly balanced. It will be another week fitted, but we | :37:52. | :37:58. | |
are pleased that other players are playing in the game, and in terms of | :37:59. | :38:02. | |
a great atmosphere, we just need that little break. | :38:03. | :38:03. | |
Two Home Nations could reach the quarter-finals | :38:04. | :38:05. | |
of the Women's European Championship. | :38:06. | :38:06. | |
But Scotland need to beat Spain by two goals to have any chance, | :38:07. | :38:10. | |
and they also need England to beat Portugal, while Mark Sampson's side | :38:11. | :38:13. | |
need just a point to qualify as winners of Group D. | :38:14. | :38:16. | |
If they win without conceding a goal, they will become the first | :38:17. | :38:19. | |
England side, male or female, to progress at a major tournament | :38:20. | :38:22. | |
with a 100% record, and without conceding. | :38:23. | :38:28. | |
We want to improve, we want to get better. We have said before we want | :38:29. | :38:34. | |
to be the best team in the world, and so far we have had a good | :38:35. | :38:38. | |
performance against Scotland, in other areas a good performance | :38:39. | :38:40. | |
against Spain. It is about bringing those areas together and improving | :38:41. | :38:44. | |
again and keeping those Mac that snowball rolling, because we want to | :38:45. | :38:47. | |
go into the knockout stages feeling confident, feeling we are the team | :38:48. | :38:51. | |
with momentum, and not only will we feel that but the other teams will | :38:52. | :38:52. | |
feel it as well. England's cricketers will look | :38:53. | :38:54. | |
to retake a series lead when they face South Africa | :38:55. | :38:56. | |
in the third Test at the Oval. The series is level at 1-1, | :38:57. | :38:59. | |
and former England captain Michael Vaughan criticised the side | :39:00. | :39:02. | |
after their defeat last week at Trent Bridge, saying they had | :39:03. | :39:05. | |
failed to respect Test cricket. Current captain Joe Root knows his | :39:06. | :39:08. | |
team have to raise their game. It is very important to us as a side | :39:09. | :39:16. | |
to remain true to each other. We are very honest in the dressing room. We | :39:17. | :39:19. | |
know that we weren't good enough last week, but effort has never been | :39:20. | :39:23. | |
the issue. And we have got a massive desire in there to go out this week | :39:24. | :39:27. | |
and put a really strong performance in, and bounced back strong. | :39:28. | :39:28. | |
50 sports have now agreed to sign up to a new set of guidelines imposed | :39:29. | :39:33. | |
by the Government aimed at making national governing bodies more | :39:34. | :39:35. | |
The Code for Sports Governance was published last year, | :39:36. | :39:39. | |
and bodies such as the FA and British Cycling have now agreed | :39:40. | :39:42. | |
The Government says it will mark the single biggest collective step | :39:43. | :39:46. | |
forward in sports governance in the UK. | :39:47. | :39:51. | |
It is absolutely essential that we have good governance for our | :39:52. | :39:57. | |
sporting bodies. They receive public funding. It is therefore right that | :39:58. | :40:01. | |
we have government structures in place, ensuring diversity not just | :40:02. | :40:05. | |
at the board level but across the whole of the grassroots itself, and | :40:06. | :40:08. | |
good governance will mean we have better decisions being taken, and | :40:09. | :40:11. | |
sport will benefit as a consequence of that. | :40:12. | :40:12. | |
England's wheelchair rugby league side have reached the World Cup | :40:13. | :40:15. | |
Harry Jones suffered a seizure in two previous matches because of | :40:16. | :40:27. | |
flash photography, and they are really concerned about it. England's | :40:28. | :40:29. | |
players have reached the final. England were the final Home Nation | :40:30. | :40:34. | |
left in the competition, after wins over Wales and an earlier | :40:35. | :40:36. | |
victory over Australia. They beat the Australians again | :40:37. | :40:39. | |
in Toulouse by 78-36, and they will now play hosts | :40:40. | :40:42. | |
France or Italy on Friday. And finally, how about this for some | :40:43. | :40:44. | |
remarkable ball skills - Jett, from Texas in the US, | :40:45. | :40:47. | |
is seen here scoring one shot We don't know many takes | :40:48. | :40:52. | |
there were to film this, but no matter - he is a superstar | :40:53. | :40:56. | |
of the future, that's for sure. We suspect the offers of college | :40:57. | :41:00. | |
scholarships won't be long And it has obviously being edited, | :41:01. | :41:14. | |
but you see them do them consecutively, as well. I think he | :41:15. | :41:20. | |
has a promising career. I wonder how young you can be signed up. I | :41:21. | :41:25. | |
imagine quite young. I imagine he has attracted the attention of all | :41:26. | :41:29. | |
sorts of sides. Charlie is not so sure. And his technique is very | :41:30. | :41:35. | |
direct, it doesn't loop in. From the right to a trial by jury | :41:36. | :41:38. | |
to pioneering so-called common law, the British legal system | :41:39. | :41:42. | |
is admired the world over, and has influenced | :41:43. | :41:44. | |
many other countries. However, is it still | :41:45. | :41:46. | |
fit for purpose? The Law Commission says | :41:47. | :41:48. | |
many sentencing rules are old and complicated, | :41:49. | :41:50. | |
and the system needs Francis Fitzgibbon is the chair | :41:51. | :41:52. | |
of the Criminal Bar Association, and joins us from our | :41:53. | :41:56. | |
London newsroom. Good morning to you. This goes right | :41:57. | :42:10. | |
to the heart of our legal system, doesn't it? Looking at some of the | :42:11. | :42:16. | |
figures, out of 262 randomly selected cases, 95, so almost one in | :42:17. | :42:21. | |
three, was found to be wrong in law. That is the scale of what we are | :42:22. | :42:25. | |
talking about. That's right. The judges have described the sentencing | :42:26. | :42:30. | |
rules as a disgrace, and a former Lord Chief Justice called trying to | :42:31. | :42:35. | |
understand them hell. So this is an exercise... It is called a | :42:36. | :42:40. | |
sentencing code but really it is an exercise in decoding the | :42:41. | :42:45. | |
overcomplicated rules which govern what sentences judges can pass in | :42:46. | :42:49. | |
criminal cases. Have you got an example of a particular area that | :42:50. | :42:53. | |
people will grasp straightaway as being especially complicated in | :42:54. | :42:58. | |
terms of the law or the sentencing? Yes, I think one of the worst areas | :42:59. | :43:03. | |
is dealing with juveniles. People between 16 or 21 where there is a | :43:04. | :43:06. | |
whole different set of rules according to how old you are. And it | :43:07. | :43:10. | |
is very difficult to work out sometimes exactly what sentences | :43:11. | :43:15. | |
available for people. The code sets out as a sort of users' manual, | :43:16. | :43:21. | |
exactly what powers judges have in terms of dealing with those kinds of | :43:22. | :43:26. | |
cases and all kinds of cases. As the law commission say, we are looking | :43:27. | :43:31. | |
at some laws which go back as far as the year 1461, they are still in | :43:32. | :43:35. | |
force, and the rules are scattered across a huge number of different | :43:36. | :43:39. | |
cases. So what this is doing is really putting all the different | :43:40. | :43:42. | |
procedural rules on the same place, so that not only judges, but anybody | :43:43. | :43:47. | |
who is interested can find out much more readily what the sentencing | :43:48. | :43:52. | |
powers really are. It doesn't in any way limit the ability of judges to | :43:53. | :43:57. | |
pass sentences. There is no shortening or lengthening of | :43:58. | :44:03. | |
sentences. It just explains and sets down, really, in one place what they | :44:04. | :44:08. | |
can do. You are a QC yourself. How often are these things rioted at the | :44:09. | :44:13. | |
time? You say judges are describing their confusion, describing it as | :44:14. | :44:20. | |
hell. Are these found many years later -- righted. Where are these | :44:21. | :44:24. | |
mistakes discovered? Sometimes they are not discovered until the case | :44:25. | :44:28. | |
gets to the Court of Appeal on different grounds. That is one of | :44:29. | :44:31. | |
the bugbears of Court of Appeal judges, that somebody might appeal | :44:32. | :44:35. | |
the sentence because they say it is too long, and when it gets to that | :44:36. | :44:38. | |
level, to the appeal level, and people really scrutinise it | :44:39. | :44:41. | |
thoroughly, they can see that something was missed at the earliest | :44:42. | :44:45. | |
stage, and in fact a sentence that was passed should not have been | :44:46. | :44:48. | |
passed because the judge did not have power to sentence it. So | :44:49. | :44:52. | |
sometimes it's that emerges almost by which probably means there are | :44:53. | :44:57. | |
quite a lot of other people who are serving unlawful sentences which no | :44:58. | :45:01. | |
one has picked up. Thank you very much for your time this morning. | :45:02. | :45:03. | |
Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather. | :45:04. | :45:09. | |
Good morning. I don't like when you bring out the umbrella. I just don't | :45:10. | :45:16. | |
like it. We will all have them and at over | :45:17. | :45:20. | |
the next couple of days. Good morning. The forecast is bright | :45:21. | :45:25. | |
spells, sunshine and showers. Showers will be heavy and thundery. | :45:26. | :45:29. | |
In the sunshine it will be pleasant. In the showers it will be cool. That | :45:30. | :45:34. | |
takes us through to Sunday. In detail, today we have the scenario | :45:35. | :45:38. | |
of sunshine and showers. At the moment there is quite a lot of cloud | :45:39. | :45:42. | |
around. Low pressure is driving the weather. It is close to the | :45:43. | :45:46. | |
north-west. This is where the showers will be heavier and some | :45:47. | :45:50. | |
will merge. The isobars tell you it will be breezy with the wind | :45:51. | :45:58. | |
strengthening this evening in the north-west. It will be touching gale | :45:59. | :46:01. | |
force in exposure. Some of us start dry, some cloudy, some with | :46:02. | :46:04. | |
sunshine. Showers will rattle through from the west to the east | :46:05. | :46:08. | |
through the course of the day. They are showers, so not all of us will | :46:09. | :46:12. | |
catch them. If you too they could be heavy and thundery. Temperatures in | :46:13. | :46:18. | |
Leeds and around 17 degrees. Further south into East Anglia, we can't | :46:19. | :46:22. | |
rule out a shower. They are hit and miss. In the Midlands and the south | :46:23. | :46:27. | |
coast, showers move from west to east. Bright spells or sunshine in | :46:28. | :46:32. | |
between. And in Wales, you have guessed it, similar, bright spells, | :46:33. | :46:36. | |
many more cloud at times, sunshine and showers and breezy. Temperatures | :46:37. | :46:40. | |
disappointing for the time of year where ever you are, including | :46:41. | :46:44. | |
Northern Ireland, where you will dodge showers in the day. There will | :46:45. | :46:50. | |
be some sunny spells. And across Scotland, similar story, some | :46:51. | :46:55. | |
showers could be heavy and thundery. Through this evening as an -- and | :46:56. | :47:03. | |
overnight, we have a weather system across western Scotland and Northern | :47:04. | :47:08. | |
Ireland, introducing rain. That rain will move from west to east. | :47:09. | :47:13. | |
Temperature-wise, roughly where we are this morning, double figures in | :47:14. | :47:17. | |
towns and cities. That is where the rain goes, west to east, fragmenting | :47:18. | :47:22. | |
as it does. Dry weather around for a time tomorrow. Then we have the next | :47:23. | :47:26. | |
system swinging in from the south-west, moving north eastwards, | :47:27. | :47:30. | |
taking its rain with it. Some of it will be heavy. In northern England | :47:31. | :47:34. | |
and southern Scotland, you will have a dry slice of weather with | :47:35. | :47:37. | |
sunshine. Tomorrow, if you are setting up your tent for the | :47:38. | :47:42. | |
festival, it should be dry. It looks like we have rain coming this way. | :47:43. | :47:47. | |
The northern limit of it is open to question. Saturday sees cloud and | :47:48. | :47:51. | |
rain in the south-east. We will see some of that in central-southern | :47:52. | :47:54. | |
England through the day. Rain coming into the Channel Islands. And | :47:55. | :47:58. | |
blustery showers coming from the west. As we head into Sunday we are | :47:59. | :48:02. | |
back into the mixture of sunshine and showers, some of them heavy | :48:03. | :48:08. | |
steam western Scotland and Northern Ireland, Charlie and Naga. Thank | :48:09. | :48:15. | |
you, Carol. Lots of attention at the moment on electric cars. Partly | :48:16. | :48:21. | |
because of the announcement made by the government for the date on when | :48:22. | :48:23. | |
we can buy electric cars. Good morning. I have come outside. I | :48:24. | :48:34. | |
have a couple of props with me. Trying to explain what we have heard | :48:35. | :48:39. | |
yesterday, the deadline of 2044 traditional cars that use petrol and | :48:40. | :48:44. | |
diesel to be banned on roads in 23 years' time, replaced by cars like | :48:45. | :48:49. | |
this. You can see the black and white wine are hybrid. They use | :48:50. | :48:58. | |
traditional fuel and electricity. The government says over the next 23 | :48:59. | :49:03. | |
years, it wants to phase out conventional vehicles and make sure | :49:04. | :49:07. | |
we are driving those. Great for the environments, but at what cost? | :49:08. | :49:12. | |
Richard from KPMG. Good morning. Announcements about the future of | :49:13. | :49:17. | |
how we will be driving. I suppose the first question, is it a | :49:18. | :49:23. | |
redundant deadline? 2040, will we be driving petrol cars then? Yesterday | :49:24. | :49:29. | |
was a real missed opportunity. Advances in technology mean we are | :49:30. | :49:33. | |
at the cusp of a transport technology revolution. It is also | :49:34. | :49:38. | |
autonomous vehicles, it is because young people don't want to buy a | :49:39. | :49:44. | |
car, they want to hire one. Huge societal and economic benefits. | :49:45. | :49:47. | |
Great chance for the government to show real ambition. I guarantee that | :49:48. | :49:52. | |
long before 2040 the deadline will be obsolete. If we look at these | :49:53. | :50:03. | |
cars, Mitsubishi, Kia, these are international cars. Where are we on | :50:04. | :50:09. | |
this scale, it will come down to battery technology? There is an | :50:10. | :50:13. | |
opportunity for the UK to get on the forefront of the revolution that is | :50:14. | :50:16. | |
about the battery and drivetrain technology. You may have noticed | :50:17. | :50:19. | |
yesterday the government really happy to secure the Mini built in | :50:20. | :50:25. | |
Britain. Disappointment that we have not been aortic litigator battery | :50:26. | :50:32. | |
and the production here as well. -- have not been able to get the | :50:33. | :50:37. | |
battery. We know that this is the future. You may have said that the | :50:38. | :50:42. | |
deadline focuses minds as consumers in starting to think about driving | :50:43. | :50:46. | |
these. Electric only cars account for 1% of all purchases. Around 4% | :50:47. | :50:52. | |
in total. It is not a lot. It is getting us thinking about buying | :50:53. | :50:55. | |
these things. And manufacturers making sure these cars are | :50:56. | :50:59. | |
comparable with what we have today. Exactly. If you go back at couple of | :51:00. | :51:03. | |
years you considered an electric vehicle if you are an | :51:04. | :51:09. | |
environmentalist. Now it is a family conversation everywhere. We are not | :51:10. | :51:13. | |
quite there. There isn't enough charging technology. People are | :51:14. | :51:16. | |
worried about range. I am sure that with investment at technology that | :51:17. | :51:22. | |
people will switch over on their own free choice. And a final word on | :51:23. | :51:26. | |
tax. The government likes to take a lot of money on fuel. It charges | :51:27. | :51:31. | |
huge duty on fuel right now. What happens if we are driving electric | :51:32. | :51:35. | |
cars? There is a dilemma the government is in voicing up to which | :51:36. | :51:38. | |
is every time they succeed in switching one person out of a diesel | :51:39. | :51:42. | |
or petrol car into an electric vehicle, they lose revenue from the | :51:43. | :51:48. | |
fuel tax and from the vehicle excise duty and they pay a subsidy of | :51:49. | :51:54. | |
?4500. This is not sustainable. Sooner or later, we have to charge | :51:55. | :51:59. | |
drivers of electric vehicles to pay for road infrastructure. OK, for now | :52:00. | :52:03. | |
it is good to speak here, thank you. Have a look around some of the cars | :52:04. | :52:07. | |
on the outside. These are very much like those we are used to today. | :52:08. | :52:11. | |
There is not a big difference. They look and sound... I hope this is | :52:12. | :52:16. | |
open. They feel exactly like any car on the road. The question is | :52:17. | :52:22. | |
changing habits, getting used to the idea of buying these vehicles and | :52:23. | :52:26. | |
using them on the road. And I know you have a lot of questions. | :52:27. | :52:29. | |
Yesterday's announcement raises more questions than it answers. Later on | :52:30. | :52:34. | |
we will answer some of those questions. Things about a charging | :52:35. | :52:38. | |
point near where you live. What if you have a long journey? Can you | :52:39. | :52:42. | |
charge your car part way through? Will you have to swap your battery? | :52:43. | :52:47. | |
This is an electric only vehicle. You can't even rely on petrol or | :52:48. | :52:53. | |
diesel to keep you going. As we have heard, battery technology will be | :52:54. | :52:56. | |
one of the big things industry has to look at. We heard the | :52:57. | :53:01. | |
announcement from Greg Clark, from the government, earlier about the | :53:02. | :53:05. | |
investment in battery technology, to make it cheaper, lighter and | :53:06. | :53:08. | |
environmentally friendly. Lots of questions. We will answer some of | :53:09. | :53:13. | |
them just after 8am this morning. I will see you then. Very interesting | :53:14. | :53:17. | |
and we will be back out with Ben later on. | :53:18. | :53:18. | |
It's one of the most hated plants in the UK, | :53:19. | :53:21. | |
It's almost impossible to kill off and can damage homes and break | :53:22. | :53:24. | |
More than ?166 million was spent last year trying to get rid of it. | :53:25. | :53:29. | |
Now scientists are carrying out experimental trials in a field | :53:30. | :53:32. | |
in East Sussex to try and work out the best way of eradicate it. | :53:33. | :53:36. | |
Yvette Austin went along to have a look. | :53:37. | :53:47. | |
An and yielding invader of the plant world. It can push through tarmac, | :53:48. | :53:54. | |
concrete and even get into your home. Japanese knotweed only | :53:55. | :54:00. | |
succumbs to the toughest of treatment, which is why experts are | :54:01. | :54:04. | |
experimenting with more eco- friendly ways of eradicating it. We | :54:05. | :54:09. | |
have laid a membrane horizontally over this mature knotweed to see if | :54:10. | :54:14. | |
it will contain knotweed or stop it growing. We have dug out a piece | :54:15. | :54:18. | |
earlier just to show you what happens. So this is a piece of | :54:19. | :54:22. | |
rhizome and you can see here all of the pieces that have grown since | :54:23. | :54:27. | |
around May. So you can see it doesn't really contain it, it causes | :54:28. | :54:30. | |
it to spread laterally. That would be your garden and it comes up in my | :54:31. | :54:35. | |
garden. You won't be happy with me. Some neighbours are hoping now the | :54:36. | :54:39. | |
land is in the hands of experts they will eventually see the back of the | :54:40. | :54:43. | |
weed as its presence can affect the value of properties. So this is the | :54:44. | :54:49. | |
garden. The knotweed, the knotweed is just over there, where the hedge | :54:50. | :54:55. | |
is, and it is really encroaching all of the time and getting closer. The | :54:56. | :55:01. | |
worry is, you know, literally the fact that it can damage your | :55:02. | :55:05. | |
property and once it gets into the garden it can wreak havoc. And just | :55:06. | :55:11. | |
to show how robust the plant is, it even grows in the dark and it has | :55:12. | :55:15. | |
found its way through the air vent to the light. So have you found the | :55:16. | :55:20. | |
best way to get rid of knotweed? I think we have, it is digging it out, | :55:21. | :55:24. | |
which is the best way. When you dig it out you may have the odd little | :55:25. | :55:29. | |
bit that comes through, small little pieces like this, which is easy to | :55:30. | :55:33. | |
deal with, either by digging further or chemical treatment. The downside, | :55:34. | :55:37. | |
though, is that digging it out can cost more than twice as much as | :55:38. | :55:41. | |
spraying, but the theory is it is quicker and more effective. | :55:42. | :55:46. | |
That is one powerful plant. Japanese knotweed. | :55:47. | :55:48. | |

It is a big day for financial results today, with updates | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
from Heathrow Airport, Lloyds Bank and Thomas Cook Travel, | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
So what do they tell us about the state of our economy? | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
In sport: Adam Peaty completes the double-double | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
He wins gold in the 50 metres breaststroke, | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
and narrowly misses out on breaking his own world record. | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
And we will find out why campaigners say that following a vegan diet | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
Good morning. It is a fairly cloudy start, but we will see some of that | :01:27. | :01:41. | |
cloud break up, leading to a day of bright spells, sunshine and showers. | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
Some of the showers will be heavy and thundery and will merge across | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
north-west Scotland, where later it will become rather windy. We will | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
have more details in 15 minutes. First, our main story: | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
It is being described as a major step in developing a new immigration | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
policy for Britain, post-Brexit. The Home Secretary, Amber Rudd, | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
is asking independent migration experts to analyse the role of EU | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
nationals living and working They will report back next | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
September, six months before the UK's deadline to leave | :02:06. | :02:13. | |
the European Union. However, critics say the study has | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
been commissioned too late. Our political correspondent Iain | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
Watson is in Westminster for us. A little bit lonely in Westminster | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
for us. Who will discuss and argue about this proposal? That's right, I | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
am here but the MPs are not. They went into recess, some are on | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
holidays and summer in their constituency. They are not here to | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
question the Home Secretary over what will be a major piece of work, | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
looking at the impact of EU migration on specific sectors, as | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
they are called, of the British economy. The health service, | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
particular industries, and so on. It will even look at whether there is | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
any evidence that unskilled migration is bad for the British | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
economy. It is interesting that Amber Road, the Home Secretary, was | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
riding in a business newspaper, effectively, the Financial Times, | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
saying she was listening to those businesses that value EU citizens' | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
skills. So the suggestion is that although the free movement of | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
citizens will end when we leave the EU in 2019, the government is | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
signalling very clearly it wants to take a flexible approach to | :03:18. | :03:31. | |
immigration from the European Union after that time. We may indeed still | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
have high levels of immigration after that time, and they are also | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
talking about a transitional period of implementation. So people who | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
perhaps voters in the referendum hoping to get a lot of control over | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
immigration quickly, I think the signal here is that perhaps that | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
might take a bit longer. But the main criticism from pro-EU voices is | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
that the government should really have done this ago. -- done this a | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
year ago. The notion that you should always | :03:53. | :03:53. | |
finish a course of antibiotics, even if you feel better, | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
is being challenged by a group Writing in the British Medical | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
Journal, it is argued that taking antibiotics for longer | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
than necessary can raise the risk of developing a resistance | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
to the drugs. However, England's Chief Medical | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
Officer says people shouldn't change their behaviour | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
because of one study. Growing resistance to antibiotics | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
is an increasing problem They become less effective, | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
because we take so many of them. That means deadly infections | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
spread more easily. Now, some researchers say it is time | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
to end the blanket prescription that Writing in the British Medical | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
Journal, the group of experts claim there is no evidence that stopping | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
some antibiotic treatments early They accept more research is needed, | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
but suggest new advice, like stop taking them | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
when you feel better, could help. # Antiobiotics are | :04:41. | :04:52. | |
wonderful pills... There is already an NHS campaign | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
to cut the use of antibiotics. The Chief Medical Officer says | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
the evidence will be reviewed, but that for now the message remains | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
- you should stick to prescriptions, and always follow | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
the doctor's advice. The parents of the terminally ill | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
baby Charlie Gard have until midday to agree with Great Ormond Street | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
Hospital how his life will end. They have accepted that Charlie | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
will spend his last days in a hospice, rather than at home, | :05:17. | :05:18. | |
but Chris Gard and Connie Yates are asking to spend more time | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
with their son before life support Wildfires are continuing to burn | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
in parts of southern France. Thousands of people have been forced | :05:26. | :05:34. | |
to leave their homes and campsites around the town of | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
Bormes-les-Mimosas. Many have spent a second night | :05:39. | :05:39. | |
on beaches, or in sports halls Our France correspondent | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
Hugh Schofield is in the nearby Are firefighters any closer | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
to putting out the fires? I am on a crest above the town that | :05:47. | :05:59. | |
you just mentioned, Bormes-les-Mimosas, just above the | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
coast. A beautiful Riviera Beach resort which people will have heard | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
of, about a mile down the road from here. But this is a crest where the | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
hills are under scrub is. And you can see there is this kind of | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
landscape, absolutely flammable in this weather. And we can see where | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
they are right now treating, trying to damp down the last of the fires. | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
The situation is getting better, but there are these outbreaks still | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
appearing, and if we look this direction we can see what it was | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
like yesterday, and how it has become the blackened hillside there, | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
and in front of us the ground, which has been treated. They doused it | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
with water. It has turned black, it is now safe. They say the situation | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
is getting under control, but there are these pockets which keep flaring | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
up, and if the wind picks up again later on today, they could be out | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
here again. We understand that some holidaymakers have spent a second | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
night on beaches, some in sports halls. What can you tell us about | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
that? Yes, that is true. The first night was Tuesday to Wednesday, last | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
night. Again they were at gymnasiums. I think many people have | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
sought alternate accommodation. A hotel we have been out, about 20 | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
miles down the road, had many people who had come from here and were | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
prepared to shell out for another hotel, even though they were staying | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
at the campsite here. They hope, and I think they have reason to be | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
optimistic, that they will be able to go back to their campsites later | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
today, but they will not be able to do that until there is a clear, | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
official word from the fire authorities who are inspecting this | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
whole area this morning, and will presumably give some kind of word | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
around the middle of the day. For the moment, thank you very much. | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
An extraordinary number of unlawful sentences are being imposed | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
in criminal cases because the legislation is so complicated. | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
That is according to the independent body which advises the Government. | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
The Law Commission says sentencing rules in England and Wales should be | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
simplified and brought together into one document, | :08:04. | :08:05. | |
in order cut delays, save money, and ensure people get | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
One person has been killed and several injured | :08:09. | :08:16. | |
after an accident on a ride at the Ohio State Fair. | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
Fire chief Steve Martin told local media outlets victims were thrown | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
from the Fireball spinning pendulum ride in the city of Columbus. | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
At least one of the injured is in a critical condition. | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
He said a full investigation would be carried out. | :08:29. | :08:52. | |
Vice Admiral Jonathan Woodcock, one of the most senior British Navy | :08:53. | :08:56. | |

They bring diversity, and I will always support | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
Hundreds of protesters gathered in New York's Times Square, | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
holding signs saying "resist" and "we object." | :09:06. | :09:07. | |
The President said the decision was based on medical costs, | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
but both Democrats and Republicans have criticised the move. | :09:11. | :09:12. | |
Now, alien life might be living closer to us | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
A study suggests that every one of us contains atoms that originated | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
Scientists in the US have discovered that up to half the matter | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
which makes up the sun, the earth, and even our own bodies, | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
used to belong to other clusters of stars and was blown | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
Until now, galaxies were thought to have been formed largely | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
We are all made of the same stuff, basically. Yes, atoms. | :09:34. | :09:47. | |
The Duke of Cambridge will begin his last shift as an air | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
ambulance pilot today, before taking up his royal duties full-time. | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
For the past two years, he has been working | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
for the East Anglian Air Ambulance service. | :09:57. | :09:58. | |
Writing in the Eastern Daily Press this morning, he says he has been | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
Our royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell reports. | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
It is a job which has clearly meant a great deal to him, | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
to work as a member of the emergency services. | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
Valued for what he does rather than who he is, | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
flying an air ambulance, and helping to save lives. | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
It was more than two years ago that William first reported for duty | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
He had finished as an RAF search-and-rescue pilot, | :10:20. | :10:26. | |
but chose to retrain and qualify for this new role. | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
On his first morning, he explained how much it | :10:30. | :10:31. | |
I'm just fantastically excited to be here today, | :10:32. | :10:39. | |
It has been many exams and training to get here, | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
and I'm hugely excited to be joining a very professional bunch of guys | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
and girls, doing such a unique, complex job with the air ambulance. | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
In the months since, William has piloted the air | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
He has seen tragedy and extremes of emotion in close quarters. | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
Writing in the Eastern Daily Press this morning, he says he is hugely | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
grateful for having had the experience. | :11:05. | :11:06. | |
After tonight's shift, William will embark on the role | :11:07. | :11:19. | |
which has been his destiny, as a full-time, working member | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
of the British royal family, taking on more responsibilities | :11:23. | :11:24. | |
in support of his grandmother, but with what are clearly deeply | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
embedded memories of his time as pilot William Wales | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
of the East Anglian Air Ambulance service. | :11:31. | :11:39. | |
All the sport and the weather coming up a little later on. | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
When your doctor prescribes you antibiotics, the advice has | :11:45. | :11:46. | |
Complete the whole course or you could risk building up | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
Now, a group of doctors say that message could be doing more harm | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
than good, and more research is needed to determine the best | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
In a moment we will speak to chair of the Royal College of GPs, | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
Helen Stokes-Lampard, but first let's talk to one | :12:03. | :12:04. | |
of the report's authors, Professor Tim Peto. | :12:05. | :12:15. | |
Thank you for joining us. Can you tell us the thinking behind this? | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
Because as a piece of advice on the surface, it seems quite ambiguous. | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
Yes, OK. Well, we have all been taught at school and elsewhere that | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
you have to finish the course. It has really been embedded as a | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
concept around the whole country, and we were trying to work out where | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
that idea comes from. Because we couldn't understand it. And it turns | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
out that it was first mentioned 70 years ago by Alexander Fleming, who | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
was the person that discovered penicillin and got the Nobel prize, | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
and in his Nobel prize speech he mentioned this, you should finish | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
the course, 70 years ago, and I don't think much research has been | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
done ever since and we have all just believed Alexander Fleming. And when | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
we looked at it more carefully, we think there is no scientific basis | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
for that statement, and that actually, the more antibiotics | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
people take, it makes common sense that there is more chance of | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
resistance developing in the community and elsewhere. So that | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
really we only want to give antibiotics enough to make you | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
better, but we don't want to go beyond that, to stop resistance. | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
Because I don't think that last bit works. What is the danger if you | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
take the full course, and don't stop when you feel better? I think | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
patients have done very well with antibiotics for 70 years, and we all | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
know that they are pretty safe drugs, and it is perfectly OK to | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
carry on as given. The question we now want to worry about is what are | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
the things that we can do on the planet, really, to protect the world | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
from antibiotic resistance. And we really want to minimise antibiotic | :13:55. | :14:02. | |
risk for -- resistance for humans and animals everywhere so as to | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
preserve antibiotics for the future, so we want to find out the optimum | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
length of time you want to give antibiotics to you, so the patients | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
get better and are perfectly well, but we don't want to go beyond it. | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
How easy is it to communicate that message for GPs? We are going to | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
talk to a GP in a moment about the practical terms. If you have one | :14:22. | :14:29. | |
antibiotic, it surely depends on how the person reacts to that | :14:30. | :14:31. | |
antibiotic, how severe their condition was in the first place. So | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
in terms of guidance for GPs, would that be possible? Well, I think we | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
never meant to imply that we were giving patients advice. We want to | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
impart doctors, prescribing doctors, to choose shorter courses without | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
the doctors and their patients worrying about getting resistance if | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
the doctors want to give shorter courses. So we want to empower GPs | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
and doctors to prescribe shorter courses. That was the aim of our | :14:57. | :15:03. | |
study. OK. Let's talk to Helen now, at the moment. Thank you very much | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
for your time. You have been listening to that. Do you think this | :15:08. | :15:09. | |
could empower doctors? In the short term it will cause | :15:10. | :15:20. | |
confusion for doctors and patients. But the study is well intentioned | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
and it is a challenge to think carefully about what we prescribe | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
and ensure more research is done. The message today from me and the | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
chief medical officer is very clear. Keep taking the antibiotics your | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
doctor prescribes for you, and do take the full course. Because the | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
doctor who has prescribed them will have thought about you, your | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
diagnosis, and what they believe is right for you in the light of this | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
guidance and best evidence that we have. So please nobody change their | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
practice right now, but there is more research to be done. How would | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
it work in practice? If I came to you with a condition and said, this | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
is very severe, but you perhaps thought I might be overoptimistic | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
about when I feel well, how would you be able to judge and allow me to | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
judge when to stop taking antibiotics? We have guidance that | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
already tells us the rough duration of a course of antibiotics. If it | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
was a urinary tract infection I would probably prescribe you as a | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
fit, well woman a three-day course of antibiotics, and that is on the | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
basis of antibiotics. We reduce the duration many years ago. Cannot 20 | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
years ago you might have had a five or seven day course. -- ten or 20 | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
years ago. We are always updating the guidance. For a chest infection | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
which we believe is bacterial it might be a five-day course. For | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
other infections it will be different. But that is for the | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
clinician to be aware of the latest evidence and to apply it to the | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
patient in front of them. We are moving to a world of more | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
personalised medicine where we take other factors into consideration, | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
but we are not there yet. I always feel uncomfortable giving the same | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
dose of antibiotics to a small 19 your baby that I do to a tall, fit, | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
30-year-old right you play. -- 19-year-old lady. But that is what | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
the guidance says and that is what I will follow, because it is the best | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
evidence we have right now. In time that evidence will change. Genetics | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
may play a part. For now, do not change anything. The scientists and | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
researchers do the work, and then the guidance will change swiftly so | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
that can benefit from it. Thank you both for your time. | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
It's 7:17 and you're watching Breakfast from BBC News. | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
Carroll has the weather for us. -- Carol. | :17:28. | :17:35. | |
The forecast for today is sunshine and showers. If you are heading away | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
for the weekend pack something waterproof and something will warm | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
as well, because it will be cool in the showers. Temperatures below | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
where they should be at the end of July. Sunshine and showers sums it | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
up nicely. We are ready have some showers in the west. Low pressure is | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
driving this weather. You can see from the isobars that it is going to | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
be quite a breezy day. Later, the wind will strengthen across the | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
north-west of Scotland. We start with the showers in the west. There | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
is lots of cloud around. That will break as we go through the course of | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
the morning, allowing some sunny spells to develop. Showers will also | :18:09. | :18:11. | |
develop further, moving from the west to the east. Some of those will | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
be heavy and thundery. If you are stuck underneath one, the wind will | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
be gusting around it. Temperature wise we are looking at about 17 in | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
Leeds. Coming further south, bright spells, meaning that at times they | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
will be more cloud around. Showers, some of them thundery, some of us | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
missing altogether and getting away with a dry day. As we move across | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
southern counties and into the south-west, we have showers. 17 is | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
the top and project them. Wales, again, we have a dizzy cocktail of | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
bright spells, sunshine and showers. Breezy conditions, especially around | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
the showers. It is the same as we move into Northern Ireland. You will | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
be dodging the showers as we go through the day, and across | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
Scotland, where in the showers the temperature will come down. In the | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
sunshine in Inverness we could see a high of 17. In the evening and | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
overnight some of those showers will fade. It will still be breezy. The | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
wind strength will pick up across the north-west of Scotland. Gail is | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
possible with exposure. A new weather front comes in, bringing | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
rain across western Scotland and Northern Ireland. For the rest of us | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
there will be the odd shower, but most of us will be dry, with temp | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
which is about 11 or 15. Tomorrow, that band of rain coming across | :19:27. | :19:28. | |
western Scotland and Northern Ireland, that fragments as it goes | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
east. There will be lots of dry weather, especially across northern | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
England. The next system sweeps in from the south-west, bringing rain. | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
Some of this will be heavy, especially over the hills in Wales. | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
If you are in northern England, lots of dry weather and lots of sunshine. | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
Just how far north this trouble is, we think by evening, we will be | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
looking at a line from Preston to howl. That could change. As we move | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
into Saturday, we have some rain to start with across the south-east. | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
Through the day, this next band comes up from the south-west across | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
the Channel Islands. We could see some across central and southern | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
England. More showers pouring in across western Scotland and southern | :20:07. | :20:13. | |
island. Dry in between, and on-site -- on Sunday we are back into that | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
mix of showers and sunshine. Tell me this is just a brief respite | :20:17. | :20:26. | |
from the boiling hot temperatures we had before, and they are coming | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
back? I would love to say that, if you like it nice and hot, but next | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
week is looking a bit changeable as well. OK. Carol, lovely seeing you. | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
Let's get the latest from the business world now - | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
Ben's here with the latest on Lloyds bank, Thomas Cook and Heathrow | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
I have been to as many of these numbers as can so far and these are | :20:44. | :20:51. | |
the ones that stand out for me. We have heard from Lloyd's in the last | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
few minutes. Pre-tax profits of 4%, and have come in at ?2.5 billion. | :20:55. | :21:01. | |
Another ?700 million has been put aside for PPI claims. In May the | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
government finally offloaded its remaining shares in Lloyds eight | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
years after it was forced to bail it out with ?20 billion to save it from | :21:10. | :21:12. | |
collapse. We have also heard within last the minutes that the bank | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
agreed to set up a compensation scheme. This will be for mortgage | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
customers who were hit with fees after falling behind with mortgage | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
payments. Lloyds says nearly 600,000 customers could receive payments | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
that total around ?283 million. We will have more on that for you a | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
little bit later. A significant compensation scheme for customers. | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
Elsewhere, Thomas Cook says bookings for this summer are up 11%. It has | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
reported a small profit of ?6 million in Patchway big loss this | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
time last year. The chief executive has described the result is a good | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
performance despite the competitive environment. And Heathrow Airport | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
says profits are up 36%. They have come in at ?102 million for the | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
first half of the year. It also says that the airport was busier than | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
ever, with all-time records in passenger traffic up nearly 4% to | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
over 37 million passengers. Cargo was up sharply as well. I will be | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
speaking to the boss of Heathrow at about half an hour. Stay tuned for | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
that. He will have more in that Lloyds compensation scheme, it is | :22:16. | :22:17. | |
pretty significant, more for you later. Thank you, Ben. | :22:18. | :22:19. | |
Today marks the 50th anniversary of the partial decriminalisation | :22:20. | :22:21. | |
of homosexuality - a revolutionary change | :22:22. | :22:23. | |
The Sexual Offences Act began the slow process of liberalising | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
British laws towards lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights. | :22:28. | :22:29. | |
Yet, many legal changes in the UK have only taken place | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
Let's discuss this now with campaigner Terry Stewart | :22:33. | :22:35. | |
Good morning. Good morning. Such an important day in many ways. It puts | :22:36. | :22:50. | |
things in context of it. You have brought a document with you? And | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
this is very much linked to your parcels of you grew up in Northern | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
Ireland. Tell us what this document is first. Well, under the Alan | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
Turing ruling, the government decided that people could apply for | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
a pardon, anybody who had him as actual conviction. And you had a | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
conviction. When did this date back to? 1981. That conviction remains on | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
my record, which means if I apply for a job, or apply to be part of an | :23:18. | :23:24. | |
organisation, that will show up and I can guarantee that I may as well | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
be on the sex offenders list. What was the conviction for? I was | :23:30. | :23:38. | |
convicted of importuning, which is where you apparently approached | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
another individual with the intent of having or procuring a homosexual | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
relationship with them. If you were to walk up lovers Lane with your | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
partner, your boyfriend, your girlfriend, you would just be having | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
a day out. If you are gay that was totally different. And so you are | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
petitioning now to get that null and void. Absolutely. I mean, with my | :24:02. | :24:10. | |
union, Unite, 1.5 million people are supporting us. I want that | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
conviction quashed. Because there is something in the region of 15,000 | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
other people who are in the same position. It is the way the law | :24:21. | :24:27. | |
works, of all those people, only 115 people were eligible for a pardon | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
since the Alan Turing ruling. When you think about your story, and | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
obviously the people watching do not know about your history, you were | :24:36. | :24:43. | |
born in Belfast and your family, I think it is fair to say, were not | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
very sympathetic towards your sexuality? My family were the same | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
as any family, in terms of coming from a Catholic Irish background. My | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
family loved me, the problem they had was the same that every family | :24:57. | :25:05. | |
had, it was that the church and the community were pushing them down a | :25:06. | :25:08. | |
road that was very detrimental to me. So you move to the UK. I moved | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
to London, because we are talking about a period in the north of | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
Ireland when it was difficult to be homosexual, and to a large extent | :25:20. | :25:26. | |
that hasn't changed much. They are still fighting for equality in terms | :25:27. | :25:29. | |
of same-sex marriage in Northern Ireland, and the same for women, and | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
their reproduction rights. You mention the issue of thing is not | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
changing much, yesterday of course, overnight, we were reporting on bolt | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
on's tweets about transgender people not being allowed to serve in the US | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
military. -- Donald Trump's tweets. Some people are equating that battle | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
now for that group of people to some of the battles that your generation | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
fought over the right to be homosexual, not to be convicted for | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
those things. The less said about Donald Trump the better, as far as I | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
am concerned. I think in terms of the change that needs to happen now, | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
compare to when I was a young man, I think the priority has to be with | :26:11. | :26:13. | |
young people. Young people are the most vulnerable people that we have | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
in our communities. They need to be protected. The government policy | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
says every child matters, and every gay, lesbian and transgender person | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
needs to be included in that. They need to be protected and the | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
education system, which avoids them being brutally bullied as I was at | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
school. It is good to talk to you. I wish we had more time. Thank you | :26:36. | :26:37. | |
very much. Plenty more on our website | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
at the usual address. Now, though, it's back | :26:43. | :30:06. | |
to Naga and Charlie. Hello, this is Breakfast | :30:07. | :30:08. | |
with Charlie Stayt and Naga The Government has taken | :30:09. | :30:13. | |
what is being described as a major step in developing | :30:14. | :30:19. | |
a new immigration policy. Home Secretary Amber Rudd is asking | :30:20. | :30:21. | |
independent migration experts to analyse the role of EU nationals | :30:22. | :30:23. | |
living and working in the UK. They will report back next | :30:24. | :30:27. | |
September, six months before the UK's deadline to leave | :30:28. | :30:29. | |
the European Union. However, critics say the study has | :30:30. | :30:32. | |
been commissioned too late. The notion that you should always | :30:33. | :30:44. | |
finish a course of antibiotics, even if you feel better, | :30:45. | :30:47. | |
is being challenged by a group Writing in the British Medical | :30:48. | :30:50. | |
Journal, it is argued that taking antibiotics for longer | :30:51. | :30:54. | |
than necessary can raise the risk of developing a resistance | :30:55. | :30:57. | |
to the drugs. However, England's Chief Medical | :30:58. | :30:58. | |
Officer says people shouldn't change their behaviour | :30:59. | :31:01. | |
because of one study. I always feel uncomfortable giving | :31:02. | :31:11. | |
the same dose of antibiotics to a small 19-year-old lady | :31:12. | :31:21. | |
that I do to a tall, But that is what the guidance says | :31:22. | :31:29. | |
and that is what I will follow, because it is the best | :31:30. | :31:34. | |
evidence we have right now. The scientists and researchers do | :31:35. | :31:40. | |
the work, and then the guidance will change swiftly so that | :31:41. | :31:43. | |
can benefit from it. Wildfires are continuing to burn | :31:44. | :31:46. | |
in parts of southern France. Thousands of people have been forced | :31:47. | :31:49. | |
to leave their homes and campsites around the town of | :31:50. | :31:52. | |
Bormes-les-Mimosas. Many have spent a second night | :31:53. | :31:53. | |
on beaches, or in sports halls At least 6,000 firefighters and | :31:54. | :31:57. | |
troops are now battling the flames. The Prime Minister has said | :31:58. | :32:01. | |
the Conservatives have come a long way on the issue of gay rights, | :32:02. | :32:04. | |
but that there is still more to do Theresa May was marking the 50th | :32:05. | :32:08. | |
anniversary today of the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality | :32:09. | :32:14. | |
in England and Wales. It decriminalised homosexual acts | :32:15. | :32:16. | |
in private between men aged One person has been killed | :32:17. | :32:18. | |
and several injured after an accident on a ride | :32:19. | :32:21. | |
at the Ohio State Fair. Fire chief Steve Martin told local | :32:22. | :32:24. | |
media outlets victims were thrown from the Fireball spinning pendulum | :32:25. | :32:27. | |
ride in the city of Columbus. At least one of the injured | :32:28. | :32:30. | |
is in a critical condition. He said a full investigation | :32:31. | :32:33. | |
would be carried out. There has been an angry reaction | :32:34. | :32:36. | |
to President Trump's decision to ban transgender people from | :32:37. | :32:39. | |
the US armed forces. Vice Admiral Jonathan Woodcock, | :32:40. | :32:41. | |
one of the most senior British Navy officials, tweeted to say he was so | :32:42. | :32:44. | |
proud of our transgender personnel. They bring diversity, | :32:45. | :32:47. | |
and I will always support In the US, hundreds of protesters | :32:48. | :32:49. | |
gathered in New York's Times Square holding signs saying | :32:50. | :32:54. | |
"resist" and "we object." The President said the decision | :32:55. | :32:56. | |
was based on medical costs, but both Democrats and Republicans | :32:57. | :32:59. | |
have criticised the move. Transgender former Air Force member | :33:00. | :33:01. | |
Vanessa Sheridan said the policy The Duke of Cambridge | :33:02. | :33:04. | |
will begin his last shift as an air ambulance pilot today, before taking | :33:05. | :33:10. | |
up his royal duties full-time. For the past two years, | :33:11. | :33:13. | |
he has been working for the East Anglian | :33:14. | :33:15. | |
Air Ambulance service. Writing in the Eastern Daily Press | :33:16. | :33:17. | |
this morning, he says he has been A group of polar bears at a zoo | :33:18. | :33:20. | |
in Lapland got an early wintry treat when truckloads of | :33:21. | :33:40. | |
snow were delivered. It was transported from a nearby ski | :33:41. | :33:42. | |
centre that had been holding the snow from the previous winter | :33:43. | :33:45. | |
for the start of the new ski season. With July temperatures | :33:46. | :33:49. | |
reaching 25 degrees, however, the bears' fun | :33:50. | :33:50. | |
in the snow may be short-lived. I think it's just kind of look at | :33:51. | :34:33. | |
you as if to say you are so stupid. Britain's Adam Peaty says he is over | :34:34. | :34:37. | |
the moon with his performances this week at the World Aquatic | :34:38. | :34:41. | |
Championships in Budapest. He took the 50 metres | :34:42. | :34:43. | |
breaststroke title yesterday, adding to the 100 metres he won | :34:44. | :34:45. | |
on Monday, but he just missed out on breaking his own world | :34:46. | :34:49. | |
record for the third time. He said he has been | :34:50. | :34:52. | |
on a rollercoaster of emotions this week, breaking records, | :34:53. | :34:55. | |
then getting back in the pool It is quite exhausting coming out, | :34:56. | :34:57. | |
switching off, switching on, especially the night | :34:58. | :35:02. | |
with the double. I am so, so happy with | :35:03. | :35:03. | |
my performances here. 225 points now, and I know | :35:04. | :35:06. | |
that there is more in that. I don't want to spoil | :35:07. | :35:09. | |
it for next year. Peaty says he credits much | :35:10. | :35:15. | |
of his success to his nan, You might remember her | :35:16. | :35:19. | |
from the Rio Olympics last summer. She wasn't able to travel to Brazil | :35:20. | :35:25. | |
because of ill health, so she watched Peaty's performances | :35:26. | :35:28. | |
at her home in Staffordshire. She has been out to Budapest this | :35:29. | :35:31. | |
time, though, and says she has been To be here this time | :35:32. | :35:35. | |
meant the world to me. I couldn't go and see him in Rio, | :35:36. | :35:38. | |
but as I say, this has made up for everything, and I am so, | :35:39. | :35:44. | |
so please I have come. And it is 20 years since I have | :35:45. | :35:47. | |
flown, but it was well worth it. 12-time Grand Slam champion | :35:48. | :35:54. | |
Novak Djokovic won't play again this It means he will miss | :35:55. | :35:57. | |
this year's US Open. Djokovic retired hurt | :35:58. | :36:01. | |
during his quarter-final at Wimbledon, and said | :36:02. | :36:03. | |
he was considering taking a break to recover from the | :36:04. | :36:06. | |
long-standing injury. He says he doesn't need surgery, | :36:07. | :36:07. | |
but rest is necessary. There was frustration for Celtic | :36:08. | :36:10. | |
as they were held to a goalless draw by Norwegian champions | :36:11. | :36:17. | |
Rosenborg in the first leg of their Champions League | :36:18. | :36:19. | |
third-round qualifier. The sides meet again next Wednesday | :36:20. | :36:21. | |
to decide which team progresses The loser will drop into | :36:22. | :36:24. | |
the Europa League play-off round. Two Home Nations could | :36:25. | :36:39. | |
reach the quarter-finals of the Women's European | :36:40. | :36:41. | |
Championship. But Scotland need to beat Spain | :36:42. | :36:42. | |
by two goals to have any chance, and they also need England to beat | :36:43. | :36:45. | |
Portugal, while Mark Sampson's side need just a point to qualify | :36:46. | :36:49. | |
as winners of Group D. If they win without conceding | :36:50. | :36:52. | |
a goal, they will become the first England side, male or female, | :36:53. | :36:55. | |
to progress at a major tournament with a 100% record, | :36:56. | :36:58. | |
and without conceding. We want to improve, | :36:59. | :37:00. | |
we want to get better. We have said before we want to be | :37:01. | :37:02. | |
the best team in the world. And so far we have had a good | :37:03. | :37:06. | |
performance against Scotland, in other areas, a good | :37:07. | :37:09. | |
performance against Spain. It is about bringing | :37:10. | :37:11. | |
those areas together, and improving, and keeping | :37:12. | :37:13. | |
that snowball rolling, because we want to go | :37:14. | :37:15. | |
into the knockout stages feeling confident, feeling we are | :37:16. | :37:18. | |
the team with momentum. And not only will we feel that, | :37:19. | :37:20. | |
but the other teams will feel England's cricketers will look | :37:21. | :37:23. | |
to retake a series lead when they face South Africa | :37:24. | :37:35. | |
in the third Test at the Oval. The series is level at 1-1, | :37:36. | :37:38. | |
and former England captain Michael Vaughan criticised the side | :37:39. | :37:41. | |
after their defeat last week at Trent Bridge, saying they had | :37:42. | :37:43. | |
failed to respect Test cricket. Current captain Joe Root knows his | :37:44. | :37:46. | |
team have to raise their game. Jessica Ennis-Hill will finally | :37:47. | :37:50. | |
receive the gold medal that was cheated away | :37:51. | :37:52. | |
from her at the 2011 She was robbed of gold by Russian | :37:53. | :37:54. | |
drug cheat Tatyana Chernova. Now, the presentation will go ahead | :37:55. | :37:58. | |
before the heptathlon at the World Championships | :37:59. | :38:01. | |
in London on six August. In all, 11 athletes and five teams | :38:02. | :38:03. | |
from previous World Championships, going back as far as Osaka in 2007, | :38:04. | :38:06. | |
will receive their reallocated There is a ceremony at the end of | :38:07. | :38:25. | |
the heptathlon day, so it is a bit like she has just completed and they | :38:26. | :38:31. | |
will play the national anthem and everything. It is mixed emotions, it | :38:32. | :38:36. | |
is better for it to happen and not happen at all. | :38:37. | :38:42. | |
Growing numbers of people are facing so-called hygiene poverty, | :38:43. | :38:45. | |
where they're unable to afford things such as shampoo, | :38:46. | :38:47. | |
That is according to the charity In Kind Direct. | :38:48. | :38:51. | |
It surveyed 1,000 people and found almost 40% said they had gone | :38:52. | :38:54. | |
without or cut back on essential toiletries. | :38:55. | :38:56. | |
Breakfast's Jayne McCubbin has been to see how a pilot project | :38:57. | :38:59. | |
in Scotland is providing free sanitary products for women | :39:00. | :39:01. | |
Jacob has just turned one but when he was born his | :39:02. | :39:10. | |
Struggling to get by on her husband's salary, | :39:11. | :39:17. | |
I was going through sanitary towels and maternity pads. | :39:18. | :39:21. | |
I had to ask help from friends and family which was great. | :39:22. | :39:24. | |
It is unfair that we have to pay a lot of money to get something | :39:25. | :39:28. | |
If this is a problem, how widespread is it? | :39:29. | :39:40. | |
Today a survey speaks of wider hygiene poverty. | :39:41. | :39:43. | |
37% of those questioned said they had to go without hygiene | :39:44. | :39:46. | |
That figure rose to 56% amongst 18- to 24-year-olds. | :39:47. | :39:55. | |
Earlier this year reports of girls missing school because they couldn't | :39:56. | :39:59. | |
afford to towels and tampons led to a promise in Westminster to look | :40:00. | :40:02. | |
into the possibility of offering free products in schools | :40:03. | :40:04. | |
The government in Scotland has gone further. | :40:05. | :40:20. | |
There could be people watching who say this is a matter | :40:21. | :40:25. | |
of prioritised something that is not an expensive product. | :40:26. | :40:28. | |
It can be very expensive, particularly over a woman's | :40:29. | :40:30. | |
It is a case of, if men had periods, we wouldn't have this conversation. | :40:31. | :40:38. | |
It is an unavoidable expense which should become a tiny bit | :40:39. | :40:40. | |
cheaper in April next year, that is when VAT on these sanitary | :40:41. | :40:44. | |
But Scotland is leading the way in helping to make these essential | :40:45. | :40:54. | |
items free for some, possibly for all. | :40:55. | :40:56. | |
Joining us now in the studio is hygiene poverty campaigner | :40:57. | :40:59. | |
Rachel Krengel, who has struggled to afford essential toiletries | :41:00. | :41:01. | |
You hear how people are struggling, but how quickly you can get into | :41:02. | :41:14. | |
that position. What happened to you? A few years ago my children were | :41:15. | :41:18. | |
very little. We went through a period where we just didn't have | :41:19. | :41:21. | |
enough money coming in for everything. My partner had just lost | :41:22. | :41:26. | |
his job. I was at home with two very small children, who were very young. | :41:27. | :41:30. | |
And I think what is really... Now looking back at it sticks out for | :41:31. | :41:37. | |
me, most of the other aspects of poverty we were held with. My sister | :41:38. | :41:42. | |
lived in the same town, we had great friends. If we didn't have food, | :41:43. | :41:45. | |
someone would bias food. When the child didn't have a winter coat my | :41:46. | :41:49. | |
sister went out and bought one. But I never went out and told people | :41:50. | :41:53. | |
that I didn't have enough sanitary towels to get me through the month. | :41:54. | :41:57. | |
I think because it is such... It is such an embarrassing thing to say, | :41:58. | :42:03. | |
to say actually I have had this sanitary towel on for so long that | :42:04. | :42:07. | |
it is really gross now. It is not something people feel like they can | :42:08. | :42:11. | |
talk about. So even people who have options, and the help is there, they | :42:12. | :42:15. | |
don't feel like they can reach out. So it is about dignity, in a way. In | :42:16. | :42:20. | |
lots of other ways you can get high. We have done many stories about how | :42:21. | :42:24. | |
little food people can cope on, but it comes down to an issue around | :42:25. | :42:29. | |
dignity. It does, and I maintain that all of us, however easy you | :42:30. | :42:33. | |
find it to talk about poverty, even about your periods, all of us have | :42:34. | :42:36. | |
this little 13-year-old girl who has just spotted load on her genes, and | :42:37. | :42:41. | |
that comes out so quickly when you're that situation. It is not | :42:42. | :42:46. | |
just periods, either. It is the simple things. When you are at | :42:47. | :42:51. | |
school and someone has body odour, and when you are acute, or older, | :42:52. | :42:58. | |
and you can't afford deodorant, or enough, again it is the dignity | :42:59. | :43:02. | |
thing. You are aware of this and there is not much you can do about | :43:03. | :43:06. | |
it. And it is amazing how expense of those things are, when you think | :43:07. | :43:11. | |
about it. A packet of sanitary towels as a pound and it doesn't | :43:12. | :43:15. | |
sound like a lot, and it wouldn't be enough to me now, but at the time I | :43:16. | :43:20. | |
could buy a bag of Pastor and some reduced vegetables, so to go and buy | :43:21. | :43:25. | |
something that is just for me with that count felt like an enormous | :43:26. | :43:31. | |
waste of money -- bag of pasta. And the stories that we have heard | :43:32. | :43:33. | |
throughout the campaign, you hear the most appalling stories coming | :43:34. | :43:38. | |
through. It is so widespread now. People are actually missing school. | :43:39. | :43:42. | |
People are missing school, we are hearing stories of children using | :43:43. | :43:46. | |
socks, newspaper, rolled up toilet roll. So the impact of this goes | :43:47. | :43:50. | |
beyond a very practical things you were talking about, because it makes | :43:51. | :43:53. | |
people feel presumably less confident, less able to get back on | :43:54. | :43:58. | |
track. And it makes you feel so alone. People don't realise how | :43:59. | :44:03. | |
widespread this is. What is the advice, then? If this is this | :44:04. | :44:06. | |
widespread, and it is an issue of dignity, and not wanting to talk | :44:07. | :44:10. | |
about it or admit you are struggling with this, what should people do? | :44:11. | :44:13. | |
What are the support networks or the signs that people should be looking | :44:14. | :44:18. | |
out or? I mean, I think certainly missing school is a really obvious | :44:19. | :44:21. | |
one with kids. When a child is missing school every four weeks on a | :44:22. | :44:26. | |
four weekly cycle, there is a reasonable chance that that is what | :44:27. | :44:31. | |
is happening. Just people being really embarrassed and not wanting | :44:32. | :44:36. | |
to leave the house as much. I tended to avoid anything very physical, or | :44:37. | :44:40. | |
a long walk, because sometimes I was using my diaphragm, which is | :44:41. | :44:44. | |
incredibly dangerous, and it is very uncomfortable, so you don't want to | :44:45. | :44:48. | |
walk very far. You get very nervous about leaving your house, because | :44:49. | :44:52. | |
you can't, you know. You have given us a very clear picture of how it | :44:53. | :44:58. | |
has affected you. And we have a government response. They said in | :44:59. | :45:03. | |
March this year that it is going to continue the fund until EU rules | :45:04. | :45:10. | |
allow a zero rate of VAT to be applied to women's sanitary | :45:11. | :45:13. | |
products. A decision will be made once that has been achieved. You | :45:14. | :45:17. | |
think that will make a difference? Is VAT a big enough... On principle, | :45:18. | :45:21. | |
they absolutely should not be charged as luxury products, because | :45:22. | :45:26. | |
they are not luxury products. VAT is 5%. Exactly quite a small amount of | :45:27. | :45:33. | |
the money, of that ?1. That is 5p, that is not going to make a | :45:34. | :45:36. | |
difference. It needs to be available for free. | :45:37. | :45:42. | |
Carol, that looks like a very angry sky. | :45:43. | :45:49. | |
You are not wrong. For some of us it is a damp start. We will have a mix | :45:50. | :45:56. | |
of sunshine and showers, and some of those showers will be heavy and | :45:57. | :46:00. | |
thundery. That is the forecast for the next few days. The centre of | :46:01. | :46:03. | |
this low pressure system which is coming in is near the centre of the | :46:04. | :46:07. | |
country. This is where the showers will be heaviest. The isobars are | :46:08. | :46:10. | |
very close together, meaning it will be breezy. Later, as this weather | :46:11. | :46:16. | |
approaches the north-west of Scotland, you will find that their | :46:17. | :46:19. | |
wind will strengthen. Showers packing in through the day, moving | :46:20. | :46:23. | |
from the west to the east. You know the drill the showers. If you do | :46:24. | :46:29. | |
catch one, it will be blustery and the temperature will come down. It | :46:30. | :46:33. | |
will feel very cool for the end of July. Showers continuing across the | :46:34. | :46:37. | |
north of England. Some in the Midlands, some in East Anglia, some | :46:38. | :46:40. | |
down into the south-east. Temperatures up to about 20 Celsius | :46:41. | :46:44. | |
in London. In the Midlands, down towards the Isle of Wight, heading | :46:45. | :46:48. | |
towards the south-west of England, we are not immune to those showers | :46:49. | :46:51. | |
either. Not all of us will catch some. For some of us it will stay | :46:52. | :46:56. | |
dry with sunny spells and for Wales, highs of 17 Celsius. We are not | :46:57. | :47:01. | |
immune to showers in Wales, nor in Northern Ireland. If anything, the | :47:02. | :47:05. | |
breeze will pick up in the north-west later. The wind will | :47:06. | :47:07. | |
strengthen across north-west Scotland later inland. We are | :47:08. | :47:12. | |
looking at a fair amount of showers. Some of them are merging to cause | :47:13. | :47:16. | |
longer spells of rain. In the evening and overnight we continue | :47:17. | :47:20. | |
with the showers. Time, but many of them will fade. A new weather system | :47:21. | :47:23. | |
comes western Scotland and Northern Ireland. That will introduce rain. | :47:24. | :47:30. | |
As it continues east, it will start to break up and fragment. That will | :47:31. | :47:34. | |
certainly be the case during Friday. We start with a fair bit of dry | :47:35. | :47:38. | |
weather around, but a new set of France comes in from the south-west | :47:39. | :47:42. | |
and will push rain steadily north-east through the course of the | :47:43. | :47:45. | |
day. So although it will start dry and bright for some eastern areas, | :47:46. | :47:49. | |
such as eastern Anglia -- East Anglia, it will build and later we | :47:50. | :47:53. | |
will see the rain arrived. If you are in northern England it is not a | :47:54. | :47:57. | |
bad day for you tomorrow. Lots of dry weather around, with some | :47:58. | :48:01. | |
sunshine. It is just how far north this band of rain moves. We think at | :48:02. | :48:05. | |
the moment, by evening, it will be in a line roughly from Preston | :48:06. | :48:09. | |
towards Hull. Moving into Saturday, we start with cloud and rein in the | :48:10. | :48:13. | |
south-east. Then we have another batch coming up across the Channel | :48:14. | :48:17. | |
Islands. We could see some get into central and southern England. As you | :48:18. | :48:22. | |
can see in this chart, there will be dry weather around with a few | :48:23. | :48:26. | |
showers. Most of the showers will pack in across northern and western | :48:27. | :48:30. | |
Scotland and also Northern Ireland. By the time we get to Sunday, if | :48:31. | :48:34. | |
anything, we start of a relatively bright note, with some other thing | :48:35. | :48:38. | |
some sunshine. Showers will get going and some of those will be | :48:39. | :48:42. | |
heavy and thundery. It will be especially so across Scotland and | :48:43. | :48:45. | |
Northern Ireland. Some of them will merge and we will see longer spells | :48:46. | :48:50. | |
of rain. Temperatures, 16- 22. Don't forget, in the breeze and the | :48:51. | :48:53. | |
showers, the temperatures will come around a touch. It will be cooler | :48:54. | :48:57. | |
than we would expect for the end of July. | :48:58. | :49:00. | |
Heathrow Airport has been busier than ever so far this year, | :49:01. | :49:03. | |
with record numbers of passengers and cargo. | :49:04. | :49:05. | |
Record numbers for both passengers and cargo. | :49:06. | :49:13. | |
They're up 36%, coming in at ?102 million for the first half | :49:14. | :49:18. | |
The airport handled 37 million passengers. | :49:19. | :49:20. | |
The airport's Chief Executive is John Holland-Kaye. | :49:21. | :49:26. | |
Surinder Arora says he can build a third runway for ?5 billion | :49:27. | :49:34. | |
Good morning to you. On the face of its these numbers are very good. At | :49:35. | :49:40. | |
people will know that you had serious IT failures of British | :49:41. | :49:43. | |
Airways, your biggest customer, and baggage handling failures recently. | :49:44. | :49:48. | |
It is not good news for them, is it? Actually we have seen record levels | :49:49. | :49:52. | |
of satisfaction at Heathrow. Weather you look at punctuality or the | :49:53. | :49:55. | |
baggage collection rates, they are also at record highs. That is what | :49:56. | :50:00. | |
we focus on at Heathrow. Taking sure that we look after passengers well, | :50:01. | :50:06. | |
give them a good experience, and that is part of the reason why more | :50:07. | :50:10. | |
people than ever are choosing to use Heathrow. I am delighted that we | :50:11. | :50:13. | |
have been voted by passengers the best major airport in Europe, a | :50:14. | :50:16. | |
great credit to the 76,000 colleagues of mine who worked here | :50:17. | :50:20. | |
at the airport. You say that you give passengers a great experience, | :50:21. | :50:23. | |
and yes, the figures would back those out, but for the people | :50:24. | :50:26. | |
watching this who were caught up in all those delays and all the | :50:27. | :50:29. | |
disruption, they went on holiday without airbags, that is not great | :50:30. | :50:33. | |
service, is it? Well, I would like to apologise to any passenger who | :50:34. | :50:36. | |
was disrupted. You understand that the number of passengers coming | :50:37. | :50:39. | |
through here they will be times and we do not quite get it right, but we | :50:40. | :50:44. | |
do our very best to give a great service. We take days like today, we | :50:45. | :50:48. | |
have a lot of people going on holiday today and there will be lots | :50:49. | :50:52. | |
of things going on at the airport to make sure people do not just have | :50:53. | :50:55. | |
reliable and good journeys, but that they have fun as well. If you are | :50:56. | :50:59. | |
travelling with kids and kids travel free on Heathrow Express. The four | :51:00. | :51:03. | |
free at restaurants. We have lots of fun and games across the terminals, | :51:04. | :51:06. | |
to make sure the holiday begins at Heathrow. We have lots of engineers | :51:07. | :51:09. | |
behind the scenes making sure that all the pigment is working. The | :51:10. | :51:13. | |
baggage system is in good order, just in case anything happens, we | :51:14. | :51:16. | |
are right on it. We are really trying to make sure that everybody | :51:17. | :51:20. | |
has a great time at the start of their holiday when they get to | :51:21. | :51:24. | |
Heathrow. As we said before, you are busier than ever, both with | :51:25. | :51:27. | |
passengers and cargo. You want that extra runway. I want to talk about | :51:28. | :51:30. | |
passengers. On the one hand, they see the need to be able to get | :51:31. | :51:34. | |
through the airport and getaway. What reassurance do have that you | :51:35. | :51:37. | |
will not pass on that extra cost? There are all sorts of figures being | :51:38. | :51:41. | |
thrown about about how much this will cost and whether it will mean | :51:42. | :51:45. | |
we pay more for flight tickets. We are working hard with airlines to | :51:46. | :51:48. | |
make sure that we can debate fabulous passenger experience, but | :51:49. | :51:52. | |
also deliberate affordably. We are making good progress on that. That | :51:53. | :51:56. | |
would be a big achievement. We are used hearing about these big | :51:57. | :51:58. | |
infrastructure projects whether costs keep going up. Well, this is | :51:59. | :52:02. | |
one where the costs are coming down, both in terms of the total amount of | :52:03. | :52:06. | |
money will be spending and also in the terms of the amount of money | :52:07. | :52:09. | |
passengers pay. If we can achieve that perfect position of being able | :52:10. | :52:12. | |
to give a fantastic passenger experience and give the connections | :52:13. | :52:15. | |
to global markets that the UK needs, meeting all of our environment and | :52:16. | :52:18. | |
commitments, and passengers are paying pretty much all the same that | :52:19. | :52:22. | |
they are paying today, that would be remarkable. John, good to talk to | :52:23. | :52:26. | |
you. I have some much more I want to ask you but it is very busy for | :52:27. | :52:30. | |
Ossia. Thank you for your time. I will have more business news after | :52:31. | :52:32. | |
eight. For many of us, adopting a vegan | :52:33. | :52:32. | |
diet - that's no meat, no fish, no dairy, no | :52:33. | :52:35. | |
eggs and no honey - sounds like a dramatic step, | :52:36. | :52:38. | |
but would you consider trying it That's what the Vegan Society | :52:39. | :52:41. | |
is encouraging people to do, in order to raise awareness | :52:42. | :52:45. | |
about how what we eat We went to a vegan cafe to find out | :52:46. | :52:47. | |
more about the lifestyle. In the last couple of years, demand | :52:48. | :53:02. | |
for vegans who has skyrocketed. -- for vegans food has. People are | :53:03. | :53:08. | |
thinking more about environmental issues, animal rights issues, animal | :53:09. | :53:12. | |
welfare, those three things come together and make people change | :53:13. | :53:16. | |
their behaviour. The choices that are available now, compare to even | :53:17. | :53:21. | |
five years ago, are amazing. Not only totally vegan and vegetarian | :53:22. | :53:24. | |
restaurants, but also vegetable and meat -based restaurants that offer a | :53:25. | :53:28. | |
vegan or vegetarian choice. People are realising there is a market and | :53:29. | :53:32. | |
they want to satisfy that market. People are much more willing these | :53:33. | :53:37. | |
days to try vegetarian or vegan food. They may not have the | :53:38. | :53:43. | |
intention of keeping it up forever, but they will maybe try it once or | :53:44. | :53:48. | |
twice a week, to just sort of slightly reduce their intake of | :53:49. | :53:49. | |
bodies. Good morning. You are trying to | :53:50. | :54:00. | |
encourage people to try out veganism? For one week. What | :54:01. | :54:05. | |
difference will that make? We believe it will make a great deal of | :54:06. | :54:10. | |
difference to the planet. Even for a week, somebody cutting out all their | :54:11. | :54:14. | |
meat and dairy products can make a huge impact. Obviously it is great | :54:15. | :54:19. | |
if people carry on with that. What impact? What would be affected? | :54:20. | :54:24. | |
Well, we know that by reducing or cutting out meat and dairy products, | :54:25. | :54:29. | |
that you actually reduce your food impact by 50%. So your greenhouse | :54:30. | :54:36. | |
gases impact, by 50%. It is making a big difference to the planet. There | :54:37. | :54:41. | |
seems to be some evidence that quite a lot of people in their regular | :54:42. | :54:46. | |
diets are moving, to some extent, towards veganism. Certain things | :54:47. | :54:51. | |
like having less red meat, may be less dairy products. Do you see more | :54:52. | :54:56. | |
generally, apart from those who are already taking up a big diet, | :54:57. | :54:59. | |
people's die is changing in that direction. Ashley taking up a vegan | :55:00. | :55:05. | |
died. Yes, certainly we are seeing people reducing the amount of meat | :55:06. | :55:09. | |
and dairy products they need. But there has been a huge cultural | :55:10. | :55:12. | |
change, really in the last five years, huge growth in veganism and | :55:13. | :55:16. | |
interesting veganism. There is a week trend in that direction. | :55:17. | :55:20. | |
Particularly amongst younger people. And particularly amongst women. It | :55:21. | :55:27. | |
is making a real difference. Traditionally, the impression of | :55:28. | :55:30. | |
veganism is that those who campaign can be quite extreme. I think there | :55:31. | :55:36. | |
is a quote about milk at the moment, about humane milk being a myth. Is | :55:37. | :55:40. | |
that correct? The reason I say this is that people always take umbrage | :55:41. | :55:43. | |
at being told they are bad, and that they don't care, without trying to, | :55:44. | :55:48. | |
but they have been brought up on meat diets. You think there is a | :55:49. | :55:52. | |
responsibility on the Of Egan Society and other campaign is to be | :55:53. | :55:55. | |
a little bit more friendly, and little bit less judgement will? -- | :55:56. | :56:03. | |
Vegan Society. Absolutely, we have found in our research that most | :56:04. | :56:06. | |
people are doing things to help the environment. They are making little | :56:07. | :56:09. | |
changes, they are cutting down on how many plastic bags they use, they | :56:10. | :56:13. | |
are making a real difference in terms of switching off lights and | :56:14. | :56:16. | |
things like that. But those things don't make anywhere near the same | :56:17. | :56:19. | |
impact that changing your diet would do. That is why we think it is | :56:20. | :56:23. | |
important that people start to look at diet as well as these other | :56:24. | :56:26. | |
smaller changes that they are making. We certainly do not want to | :56:27. | :56:30. | |
tell people that, you know, we are very much about encouraging people | :56:31. | :56:34. | |
and supporting people in making changes. We would never say that | :56:35. | :56:37. | |
just because somebody only cuts out meat and dairy products one day a | :56:38. | :56:41. | |
week that they shouldn't do that. Every little does help. But we do | :56:42. | :56:45. | |
believe that by making a permanent change it can make a big difference. | :56:46. | :56:49. | |
This amount, thank you. Thank you. -- Samantha Kerr thank you. | :56:50. | :00:09. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast, with Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt. | :00:10. | :00:27. | |
A major step towards creating a new immigration policy for Britain | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
post-Brexit Ministers launch a study into the role of EU nationals living | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
and working in the UK - but critics claim it's too little, | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
Good morning, it's Thursday the 27th of July. | :00:36. | :00:43. | |
Should you stop taking antibiotics before finishing | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
That's the suggestion from one group of experts, | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
Prince William prepares for his final shift | :00:56. | :01:02. | |
as an air ambulance pilot - before becoming a full-time Royal. | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
They're set to become the norm from 2040 - | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
but is Britain ready for the electric car revolution? | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
In the last hour Lloyds bank has announced they're setting up | :01:12. | :01:19. | |
a compensation scheme for mortgage customers who are in arrears. | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
In sport Adam Peaty completes the double double | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
He wins gold in the 50 metres breaststroke and narrowly misses out | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
And his nan Mavis is his biggest fan. | :01:35. | :01:54. | |
We'll catch up with the swimmer's mum and grandmother - | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
We will see some sunshine coming through with showers in the West. | :01:58. | :02:09. | |
Further showers will develop as we go through the day. Some will be | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
heavy and thundery and it is breezy. I will have more details than 15 | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
minutes. Thank you. It's being described | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
as a "major step" in developing a new immigration policy | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
for Britain post Brexit. The Home Secretary Amber Rudd | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
is asking independent migration experts to analyse the role of EU | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
nationals living and They will report back next | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
September - six months before the UK's deadline to leave | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
the European Union. However, critics say the study has | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
been commissioned too late. Our political correspondent Iain | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
Watson is in Westminster for us. Good morning to you. What is the | :02:38. | :02:49. | |
idea of this study and what will they do with the results? The idea | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
behind it is to look at the impact of EU migration in Britain. It will | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
be a wide-ranging study. They will look at what if you cut the number | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
of migrants. What would happen in certain industries? What would | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
happen in the health service? What would happen in certain regions of | :03:09. | :03:17. | |
the country? It will also explore whether unskilled migration is bad | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
for the economy. However, critics have said this is an important piece | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
of work which should have been commissioned after the referendum a | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
year ago. Diane Abbott is calling for any changes to be put off until | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
after this study is published in September next year. It does not | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
give much time to change the rules before Brexit 2019. The suspicion is | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
the government will take a flexible approach to a grimmer great after | :03:44. | :03:54. | |
Brexit. -- a flexible approach to immigration after Brexit. Thank you. | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
The notion that you should always finish a course of antibiotics, | :03:59. | :04:00. | |
even if you feel better, is being challenged by a group | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
Writing in the British Medical Journal, it's argued that taking | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
antibiotics for longer than necessary, can raise | :04:07. | :04:08. | |
the risk of developing a resistance to the drugs. | :04:09. | :04:10. | |
However, England's Chief Medical Officer says people shouldn't | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
change their behaviour because of one study. | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
Growing resistance to antibiotics is an increasing | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
They become less effective, because we take so many of them. | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
That means deadly infections spread more easily. | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
Now, some researchers say it is time to end the blanket prescription that | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
Writing in the British Medical Journal, the group of experts claim | :04:28. | :04:37. | |
there is no evidence that stopping some antibiotic treatments early | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
They accept more research is needed, but suggest new advice, | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
like stop taking them when you feel better, could help. | :04:47. | :04:58. | |
Until the research clearer GPs will follow the current guidance. I | :04:59. | :05:06. | |
always feel uneasy that I give the same dosage to a petite elderly lady | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
as I would to a tall rugby player but I will follow the guidance | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
because that is the best advice we have for now. | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
# Antiobiotics are wonderful pills... | :05:20. | :05:20. | |
There is already an NHS campaign to cut the use of antibiotics. | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
The Chief Medical Officer says the evidence will be reviewed, | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
but that for now the message remains - you should stick to prescriptions, | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
and always follow the doctor's advice. | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
The parents of the terminally-ill baby, Charlie Gard, | :05:37. | :05:37. | |
have until midday to agree with Great Ormond Street Hospital | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
They've accepted that Charlie will spend his last days | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
in a hospice rather than at home, but Chris Gard and Connie Yates | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
are asking to spend more time with their son before life support | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
Wildfires continue to burn in parts of southern France. | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
Thousands of people have been forced to leave their homes | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
and campsites around the town of Bormes-Les-Mimosas. | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
Many have spent a second night on beaches, or in sports halls | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
Our France correspondent Hugh Schofield is there. | :06:04. | :06:12. | |
I know you have been talking to firefighters in the area, and you | :06:13. | :06:20. | |
can still see damp and blazes behind you. Are they any closer to getting | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
on top of this fire? It has stabilised. It is not under control, | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
they are not saying that, but it has stabilised. We are seeing little | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
pockets of smoke going at which they are putting out one by one. We are | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
in an area which has been hit and was burning yesterday. The ground is | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
completely charred and blackened. It has been doused with water which | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
turns it black. If we walk up here on this charred hillside, we can | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
still see the business. This is going to be the problem, because | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
although the fire in general is out, there are these places where smoke | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
is appearing, and the day will heat up very soon. By mid-afternoon, it | :07:05. | :07:12. | |
will be like a cauldron here. The dangers are that the wind fanning | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
them will start new outbreaks of fire which is why the firefighters | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
around here remain on high alert. Thank you. Hugh Schofield there, our | :07:22. | :07:23. | |
France correspondent. The Prime Minister has said | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
the Conservatives have "come a long way" on the issue of gay rights, | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
but that there's still more to do Theresa May was marking the 50th | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
anniversary today of the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
in England and Wales. It decriminalised homosexual | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
acts in private There's been an angry reaction | :07:43. | :07:43. | |
to President Trump's decision to ban transgender people from the US Armed | :07:44. | :07:51. | |
Forces. Vice-Admiral Jonathan Woodcock, | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
one of the most senior British Navy officials, | :07:55. | :07:56. | |
tweeted to say he was "So proud They bring diversity and I will | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
always support their desire In the US, hundreds of protesters | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
gathered in New York's Times Square holding signs saying "resist" | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
and "we object." The President said the decision | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
was based on medical costs, but both Democrats and Republicans have | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
criticised the move. It's just been announced, | :08:15. | :08:25. | |
mortgage customers with Lloyds Bank who fell behind with their payments | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
could be entitled to compensation. They are entitled to compensation, | :08:29. | :08:37. | |
why? It is because Lloyds have pursued them fall. Things, about | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
setting up a repayment plan and the Financial Conduct Authority said | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
they were not careful about how they did it. They did not look at if | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
people could repay all these charges and the legal fees associated with | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
it. They have agreed to set up this compensation fund for people who | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
fell behind with the payments. They think it will affect 590,000 | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
customers, nearly 600,000 customers affected by this. They will share | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
the money in this redress as they are calling it. It will cover legal | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
fees, the costs associated with pursuing these legal claims. That is | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
one of the issues announced this morning. The other thing we have | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
heard is Lloyds will pay even more in PPI claims. It has set aside | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
another ?700 million for people who were caught up in Payment Protection | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
Insurance. The familiar story of banks trying to put things right, in | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
this case involving mortgages and PPI. It will cost how much? On the | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
compensation scheme for mortgages, ?283 million. Thank you. | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
The Duke of Cambridge will begin his last shift | :09:53. | :09:54. | |
as an air ambulance pilot today, before taking up his | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
For the past two years, he's been working for | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
the East Anglian Air Ambulance Service. | :10:01. | :10:01. | |
Writing in the Eastern Daily Press this morning he says he's | :10:02. | :10:09. | |
The news that the government plans to ban new petrol and diesel | :10:10. | :10:11. | |
cars from 2040 raised plenty of questions. | :10:12. | :10:19. | |
Charlie's outside our studio with some of the vehicles | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
you could be seeing more of in the future. | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
I think he will drive away if we do not get some answers. We have had | :10:25. | :10:32. | |
loads of questions. Yes, lots of practical questions. Can you hear | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
that noise? It is a little pinging noise. I have never sat in an all | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
electric car before. There is some kind of thing going. We're not going | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
to drive this one now. I will step outside and give you a look around. | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
We have gathered some cars here, some are all electric, some are | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
hybrids of engines and electric. We are looking ahead to the future. | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
That date, 23 years ahead when you will not be able to buy petrol or | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
diesel car, so it is addressing the issue of what we are going to do | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
about pollution. The world we live in and the air we breathe, are | :11:12. | :11:22. | |
proving to be real problems about what these streets alike and the air | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
we are breathing. We have three people who know a lot more about | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
this. We have Jim Holder from What Car. Jenny Bates from Friends of the | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
Earth and Richard Threlfall from KPMG. You will be aware that a lot | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
of people are asking lots of questions. They go to the heart of | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
the matter. Clive has got in touch with one of the really basic | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
questions. How will all the extra electricity for all these vehicles | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
be generated? We imagine the world of the future and some people say, | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
maybe sooner than we think, when there are lots of cars driven by | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
electricity, where is the power coming from? We estimate that we | :12:00. | :12:06. | |
will need for jigger watts of electricity to charge the cars up -- | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
gigawatts. But the good news is we will mostly charge the cars at night | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
which is currently the time when we have a surplus of electricity so it | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
is not all bad news. There will be some areas of the grid which need | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
strengthening but by and large this is not a big problem. We can cope | :12:23. | :12:30. | |
with this. How will people who live in tower blocks, or don't have drive | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
ways, going to access charging points regularly enough to use an | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
electric car everyday? That is a fair question and one which has not | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
yet been answered. There are ways you can charge an electric car from | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
a lamp post but the practicality of everybody trying to do that at the | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
same time really needs to be answered and we need a much better | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
infrastructure that we have today before the electric car can be | :12:55. | :13:07. | |
universal choice. Everybody says the advances between now and in 23 | :13:08. | :13:09. | |
years' time, these questions will be irrelevant, but on this issue, this | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
is linked to the first question. It is about the generation of | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
electricity. Some people will say will we not create more pollution by | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
generating more power to drive electric cars so staying where we | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
are in terms of the overall picture? In terms of what the cars on it and | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
where people are living and walking, it is terribly important what that | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
has come from. But in terms of renewable energy, we have masses of | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
opportunity here in the UK with solar and wind, that even just this | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
spring we have had a huge amount, Emperor portion, about 25% of the | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
demand coming from solar. It will push further demand. Vehicles are | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
only as clean as the electricity they run on, of course. Let's go | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
back to the money issues. A lot of people are asking how about the | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
money the government will lose in fuel duty? This is up your street. | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
It generates an enormous amount of money for the government. ?33 | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
million a year is raised but we only spend about three to 5 billion on | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
our roads, all the rest of it is being spent on the health service. | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
This is a really big problem the government will have to face up to. | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
Sooner or later they will charge users of electric vehicles to use | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
our roads in order to pay for it. What about people who live in rural | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
areas or need larger vehicles because of where they live? And some | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
people are saying, where are the big trucks which run on electricity? Do | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
those exist and are the issue is around battery power and electric | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
power which will preclude big vehicles from being powered by | :14:51. | :14:51. | |
electricity? There are issues and yesterday's | :14:52. | :14:59. | |
announcement was about small cars and vans. The car industry is | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
investing billions in trying to move it forward. Already we have some | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
second-generation batteries and in Assen leaf -- in the Nissan Leaf. | :15:07. | :15:15. | |
How big is the battery in that car? Now capable of just over 200 miles, | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
if you fully charge it, whereas the first generation just seven years | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
ago was about half that amount so it is moving forward very quickly. From | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
2040 you can still buy a car with petrol diesel engine, but it has to | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
be linked to an electric engine, so it is a hybrid car. People are | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
concerned about servicing and costs, as well. Is it broadly going to be | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
the same? Actually it could even be cheaper. I own a red nose only | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
myself and it is around two thirds of the price to service it, -- I own | :15:51. | :16:01. | |
a Renault Zoe. Jenny, from Friends of the Earth, maybe what has been | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
changed, saying it has become a commerce ocean people are having | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
around their dinner tables, around their breakfast tables, what they do | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
about cars. Maybe at this stage saying do we still want a diesel | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
car, that is where it is at right now, do you feel there is a sea | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
change going on? Absolutely, and the reason is the health issues of air | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
pollution are just so horrible. Children's lungs don't develop | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
properly, people get heart attacks or strokes triggered by bad air. | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
40,000 premature deaths a year linked to air pollution, lung | :16:37. | :16:39. | |
cancer, that sort of thing, so the reason is we have to do something | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
about it. That is why we were disappointed with what the | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
government said yesterday, while the signal for 2040 is the right thing, | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
it is a long way off. We need things to happen now. We need to restrict | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
the dirtiest vehicles now because people's lives are at risk. A | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
reality check, what is the price check? We have four cars behind is | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
capable of various things, some hybrid, some all electric, give me a | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
price check. The plug-in hybrids behind us are comparable with the | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
cost of a diesel today. The difference is not that great. The | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
electric cars are typically a bit more expensive but there are ways of | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
getting that money back, they are cheaper to service and fuel, there | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
are tax incentives to own them. There are stimulus that can lead | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
them to be cheaper to run. I have seen the sun coming out, solar | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
powered car? Absolutely, some have solar power panels on their rooms | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
now to charge them up, so it is possible. Carol, solar powered cars, | :17:39. | :17:47. | |
we would need sun for that. What we're looking at is a mixture of | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
sunny spells and some showers. Some of the showers will be heavy and | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
also thundery, some merging to give longer spells of rain. Quite a bit | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
of cloud around. Charlie is in Manchester, this is the satellite | :18:01. | :18:02. | |
picture for the last two hours and you can see where it is broken and | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
where it hasn't. Low pressure still driving our weather very much so. | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
Close to the north-west, producing a lot of showers and you can tour by | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
the squeeze on the isobars will be a breezy day. Windy with exposure | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
across north-west Scotland. A damp start to some of us, particularly | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
through the West. Showers will develop travelling east. Some of | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
them heavy and thundery. In between, there will be dry weather. Some of | :18:29. | :18:36. | |
us will miss the showers altogether. For London, highs of 20 Celsius, | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
East Anglia could see some showers, you could catch one in King's Lynn, | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
in Birmingham as well. As we move further northwards, a mixture of | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
bright spells, sunshine and showers. For Scotland, no different, bright | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
spells, sunshine and showers but at times the showers in the West will | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
merge and this evening the wind will also pick up. For Northern Ireland, | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
bright spells, sunshine and showers sums it up, as it does indeed across | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
much of Wales, but if you missed the showers will be pleasant enough in | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
the sunshine. Wherever you are in the UK, the wind will be that bit | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
gusty and the temperature will briefly go down. Through the | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
evening, we have another system coming across western Scotland and | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
Northern Ireland, introducing some more rain, and don't forget the wind | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
is strengthening too. Temperature-wise, we are in pretty | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
good shape, 11 to 16 Celsius. Similar to how you are starting this | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
morning. This band coming in across western Scotland and Northern | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
Ireland pushes east through the day, it fragments, and at the same time | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
we have another one coming in from the south-west, introducing some | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
rain, some heavy, particularly over the hills of Wales. We also have a | :19:46. | :19:54. | |
dryer slice across this area. We are looking at the northern limit of | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
this rainfall. By evening we think it will be aligned roughly from | :19:59. | :20:04. | |
Preston to Hull. In the Saturday, cloudy and damp in the south-east, | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
we then have some more rain sweeping up across the Channel Islands, | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
moving north-eastwards, so we could see some of that across central and | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
southern England, the London area and into Kent. Some of that could be | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
heavy. More showers coming in across the north-west between a dryer | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
slice, not bone dry, there will be some showers around but not as many | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
as we will seek during the course of Sunday. Low-pressure still with us, | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
this is the centre of it. A lot of showers coming in, merging across | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland, some of those will be heavy and thundery. | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
Looks like it will be absolutely soaking wet on Sunday. Not as bad as | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
that picture looks but there will be quite a few showers around. | :20:43. | :20:49. | |
A very blue map, we need to make it more yellow. Put it you holes in it | :20:50. | :20:57. | |
for some sunshine. If anyone can, Carol, you can. No pressure! You | :20:58. | :21:08. | |
agree with me, don't you, Sally? Yes, Carol can definitely do that | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
for us. A man in the water who has been amazing, Adam Peaty. An | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
incredible performance. Lovely to see the Olympic ring tattoo, I love | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
it so that when he is in the pool and he goes up, we see the Olympic | :21:25. | :21:32. | |
rings. I wonder what his mum or grand said when he got that had to. | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
That was after the Rio Games is man was in there, Mavis couldn't go, she | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
wasn't too well, so she missed going to watch but she is actually in | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
Budapest this week, she travelled. We enjoyed watching her as much as | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
Adam. Watching him. Let's remind ourselves of Adam's success, | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
starting with the swimming superstar in the swimming pool in Rio. | :21:57. | :22:04. | |
COMMENTATOR: Good reaction, P Ki up with them. A very good start. -- PTR | :22:05. | :22:12. | |
put them. This is utterly brilliant. Adam Peaty takes Olympic gold for | :22:13. | :22:14. | |
Great Britain by an absolute street. I don't know whether to cry, I am | :22:15. | :22:41. | |
ecstatic, absolutely ecstatic, I am so proud of him! It is really all | :22:42. | :22:52. | |
about Adam Peaty. The world record is 57.1 three, but goodness me, the | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
margin of victory, that was phenomenal. To hear his time meant | :22:58. | :23:05. | |
the world to me. It is very touching. Amazing, absolutely | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
brilliant swimming. He is making the rest of the world reset their dreams | :23:11. | :23:12. | |
because they are no longer quicken. Adam's mum and nan, | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
Caroline and Mavis, join Morning to you both. Good morning. | :23:16. | :23:32. | |
Good morning. Mavis, you're they're. Has it been worth it to see all the | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
success in the fall? Yes, it has. It has been fabulous. I can't quite | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
believe what he has achieved, tell you the truth. I have enjoyed at | :23:45. | :23:52. | |
every step of the way. Take us back, Caroline, let's talk about Adam as a | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
little boy, frightened of the water. Can you believe he is at this point | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
now and how did you get him over that fear? I think a bit of tough | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
love, that's the start, with the help of my friend. She took him to | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
the swimming pool for me, because he was so distressed, and it was | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
upsetting me. All the other children had learned to swim, so Adam needed | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
to swim, because, you know, we are round rivers and lots of water, so | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
it was a life skill that he needed to learn. So a bit of tough love, | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
and it has developed from there. Mavis, as we said, you weren't able | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
to make it to Rio, what is it like being in Budapest now and going into | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
the Aquatic Centre, with all the noise of a fuss and the razzmatazz, | :24:36. | :24:43. | |
and watching your grandson? It is electrifying, absolutely wonderful. | :24:44. | :24:51. | |
The atmosphere's great. Getting lots of attention from the Hungarians. | :24:52. | :24:58. | |
I've made a few friends, even though I can't speak the language. What | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
sort of attention are you getting, Mavis? Just meeting people that are | :25:03. | :25:09. | |
sitting by me, you know, and we join in the, station. The best I can. And | :25:10. | :25:17. | |
last night we had ice cream boaters. It was really great. Caroline, are | :25:18. | :25:24. | |
you able to watch him calmly? Are you able to keep calm? I would | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
imagine a parent you there are in tears? Yes, I'm fine until he gets | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
onto the blocks. Then once he is into the water, I'm sort of | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
screaming away, and then my heart starts as he is coming close to the | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
wall. And then afterwards, if he does win, you know, that's when the | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
tears start, and the podium really does get to me. Our national anthem, | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
that brings prickles all the way up my arms, and tears as well. I know | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
Adam only very narrowly missed out on beating his own record last | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
night. How is he this morning? I have no idea how he is this morning, | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
I've had a message, it was a late night for him last night, hopefully | :26:10. | :26:16. | |
we will see him tomorrow. But he has sent me the occasional message, | :26:17. | :26:19. | |
which is more than what I had in Rio, which is lovely. Like I said, | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
we did manage to see him for a few minutes after he'd finished his | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
hundred, by accident really, as we were going past the gym. So he is in | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
fine form, really happy. Brilliant. Mavis, good luck for the rest of | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
your trip and enjoy, have a safe flight home. Thank you very much. | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
Thank you Mavis and Caroline, Mavis and Caroline, live in Budapest this | :26:44. | :26:51. | |
morning. His mum was great with a microphone, at the microphone | :26:52. | :26:58. | |
technique sorted out. Thanks, Sally. Time to get the news, | :26:59. | :30:19. | |
Now though it's back to Naga and Charlie. | :30:20. | :30:26. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty. | :30:27. | :30:32. | |
The notion that you should always finish a course of antibiotics, | :30:33. | :30:36. | |
even if you feel better, is being challenged by a group | :30:37. | :30:38. | |
Writing in the British Medical Journal, it's argued that taking | :30:39. | :30:43. | |
antibiotics for longer than necessary can raise | :30:44. | :30:45. | |
the risk of developing a resistance to the drugs. | :30:46. | :30:48. | |
Earlier on Breakfast, Chair of the Royal College of GPs | :30:49. | :30:50. | |
Helen Stokes-Lampard told us more research is needed. | :30:51. | :30:56. | |
I always feel slightly uncomfortable that I give the same dose | :30:57. | :30:58. | |
of antibiotics to a petite 90-year-old lady that | :30:59. | :31:00. | |
I do to a tall, fit 30-year-old rugby player. | :31:01. | :31:05. | |
But that is what the guidance tells us to do right now, | :31:06. | :31:08. | |
and that is what I will follow, because it is the best evidence | :31:09. | :31:11. | |
In time, the evidence and the guidance will change. | :31:12. | :31:14. | |
But for now, don't change anything, let the scientists and researchers | :31:15. | :31:18. | |
do the work, and then the guidance should change swiftly so we can | :31:19. | :31:21. | |
Wildfires are continuing to burn in parts of southern France. | :31:22. | :31:30. | |
Thousands of people have been forced to leave their homes | :31:31. | :31:38. | |
and campsites around the town of Bormes-les-Mimosas. | :31:39. | :31:40. | |
Many have spent a second night on beaches, or in sports halls | :31:41. | :31:43. | |
At least 6000 firefighters and troops are now battling the flames. | :31:44. | :31:47. | |
The Prime Minister has said the Conservatives have 'come a long | :31:48. | :31:49. | |
way' on the issue of gay rights, but that there's still more to do | :31:50. | :31:53. | |
Theresa May was marking the 50th anniversary today of the partial | :31:54. | :31:56. | |
decriminalisation of homosexuality in England and Wales. | :31:57. | :31:58. | |
It decriminalised homosexual acts in private between | :31:59. | :31:59. | |
An "extraordinary" number of unlawful sentences | :32:00. | :32:05. | |
are being imposed in criminal cases, because the legislation | :32:06. | :32:08. | |
That's according to the independent body which advises the Government. | :32:09. | :32:13. | |
The Law Commission says sentencing rules in England and Wales should be | :32:14. | :32:20. | |
simplified and brought together into one document in order to cut | :32:21. | :32:23. | |
delays, save money and ensure people get the justice they deserve. | :32:24. | :32:26. | |
One person has been killed and several injured | :32:27. | :32:27. | |
after an accident on a ride at the Ohio State Fair. | :32:28. | :32:30. | |
Fire chief Steve Martin told local media outlets victims were thrown | :32:31. | :32:37. | |
from the 'Fireball' spinning pendulum ride in | :32:38. | :32:39. | |
At least one of the injured is in a critical condition. | :32:40. | :32:42. | |
He said a full investigation would be carried out. | :32:43. | :32:44. | |
There's been an angry reaction to President Trump's decision | :32:45. | :32:46. | |
to ban transgender people from the US armed forces. | :32:47. | :32:49. | |
Vice Admiral Jonathan Woodcock, one of the most senior | :32:50. | :32:52. | |
British Navy officials, tweeted to say he was "so proud | :32:53. | :32:56. | |
They bring diversity and I will always support their desire | :32:57. | :33:00. | |
In the US, hundreds of protesters gathered in New York's Times Square | :33:01. | :33:06. | |
holding signs saying "resist" and "we object". | :33:07. | :33:10. | |
The President said the decision was based on medical costs but both | :33:11. | :33:13. | |
Democrats and Republicans have criticised the move. | :33:14. | :33:21. | |
Meanwhile, President Trump's new spokesman has said he's | :33:22. | :33:31. | |
100% certain the US will be able strike a trade deal | :33:32. | :33:34. | |
Anthony Scaramucci, the White House communications director, | :33:35. | :33:36. | |
told the BBC's Newsnight programme that Mr Trump loved the UK, | :33:37. | :33:39. | |
and he highlighted the "special relationship" between the two | :33:40. | :33:41. | |
countries as a reason why he believed a deal would be agreed. | :33:42. | :33:44. | |
So think about the special relationship we have | :33:45. | :33:47. | |
had since the inception of this great nation. | :33:48. | :33:59. | |
This nation was a disruptive start-up, a group of guys | :34:00. | :34:04. | |
We're going to break away from the other nation | :34:05. | :34:08. | |
You know what the President is doing? | :34:09. | :34:12. | |
Does that mean making concessions to do trade with the UK? | :34:13. | :34:15. | |
Does it mean you will meet us halfway? | :34:16. | :34:17. | |
Does it mean we have to give in to you? | :34:18. | :34:20. | |
He's about reciprocity, he's about fair and equal trade. | :34:21. | :34:23. | |
The Duke of Cambridge will begin his last shift as an air | :34:24. | :34:26. | |
ambulance pilot today, before taking up his | :34:27. | :34:28. | |
For the past two years he's been working for the East Anglian | :34:29. | :34:32. | |
Writing in the Eastern Daily Press this morning, he says he's | :34:33. | :34:35. | |
Time for some pictures of polar bears! That they are! This is a zoo | :34:36. | :34:48. | |
in Lapland where they have not had any snow, so they had some | :34:49. | :34:51. | |
delivered. That is great, isn't it? They are | :34:52. | :34:53. | |
enjoying it, obviously. It was transported from a nearby ski | :34:54. | :34:55. | |
centre that had been holding the snow from the previous winter | :34:56. | :34:58. | |
for the start of the new ski season. But it is July in Lapland where | :34:59. | :35:09. | |
temperatures can reach 25 degrees, so this though may melt. | :35:10. | :35:15. | |
Doing some belly rolls and sliding along. You are doing some | :35:16. | :35:18. | |
commentary. I could watch that all day. | :35:19. | :35:24. | |
Happiness personified. It really is, it is lovely! | :35:25. | :35:31. | |
I have got good news to bring you. Adam Peaty, how lovely is his man? | :35:32. | :35:36. | |
Mavis, she is lovely, and his mum, Caroline. | :35:37. | :35:40. | |
Chatting to them a few minutes ago, they were so proud, the wages mum | :35:41. | :35:43. | |
talks about when he gets onto the podium, that is when she really | :35:44. | :35:45. | |
wobbles, not surprised. Britain's Adam Peaty | :35:46. | :35:50. | |
says he's over the moon with his performances this week | :35:51. | :35:52. | |
at the World Aquatic He took the 50 metres | :35:53. | :35:54. | |
breaststroke title yesterday, adding to the 100 metres | :35:55. | :35:57. | |
he won on Monday. But he just missed out | :35:58. | :35:59. | |
on breaking his own world He said he's been on a rollercoaster | :36:00. | :36:02. | |
of emotions this week - breaking records then getting back | :36:03. | :36:06. | |
in the pool to race again. It's quite exhausting coming out, | :36:07. | :36:08. | |
switching off, switching on, I'm so, so happy with | :36:09. | :36:14. | |
my performances here. 225 points now, and I know that | :36:15. | :36:23. | |
there's more in that. But I don't want to | :36:24. | :36:26. | |
spoil it for next year. 12-time Grand Slam champion | :36:27. | :36:29. | |
Novak Djokovic won't play again this It means he'll miss | :36:30. | :36:32. | |
this year's US Open. Djokovic retired hurt | :36:33. | :36:35. | |
during his quarter-final at Wimbledon and said | :36:36. | :36:37. | |
he was considering taking a break to recover from | :36:38. | :36:39. | |
the long-standing injury. He says he doesn't need surgery, | :36:40. | :36:40. | |
but rest is necessary. Did not do Roger Federer any harm, | :36:41. | :36:48. | |
did it? There was frustration for Celtic | :36:49. | :36:51. | |
as they were held to a goalless draw by Norwegian champions Rosenborg | :36:52. | :36:54. | |
in the first leg of their Champions The sides meet again next Wednesday | :36:55. | :36:57. | |
to decide which team progresses to the play-off round - | :36:58. | :37:01. | |
the loser will drop into Two Home Nations could | :37:02. | :37:07. | |
reach the quarter-finals of the Women's European | :37:08. | :37:10. | |
Championship. But Scotland need to beat Spain | :37:11. | :37:11. | |
by two goals to have any chance, and they also need England to beat | :37:12. | :37:14. | |
Portugal. Mark Sampson's side need | :37:15. | :37:16. | |
just a point to qualify If they win without conceding | :37:17. | :37:18. | |
a goal, they'll become the first England side - | :37:19. | :37:22. | |
male or female - to progress at a major tournament with a 100% | :37:23. | :37:26. | |
record and without conceding. England's cricketers will look | :37:27. | :37:32. | |
to retake a series lead against South Africa - | :37:33. | :37:34. | |
the third Test starts It's the 100th Test to be | :37:35. | :37:37. | |
played at the ground. England came in for some criticism | :37:38. | :37:40. | |
from former captain Michael Vaughan He said they failed | :37:41. | :37:42. | |
to respect Test cricket. The series is currently | :37:43. | :37:47. | |
level at 1-1. Jess Ennis-Hill will next month | :37:48. | :37:54. | |
finally receive the gold medal that she was denied at the 2011 | :37:55. | :37:56. | |
World Championships. Ennis-Hill came second | :37:57. | :37:59. | |
to Russian Tatyana Chernova who was later found | :38:00. | :38:00. | |
guilty of doping. Now the presentation will go ahead | :38:01. | :38:02. | |
at World Championships Britain's Jo Pavey will also | :38:03. | :38:09. | |
receive her bronze medal Did I get away with that? | :38:10. | :38:24. | |
We should explain X by credit if we widen the shot, Gareth Thomas... He | :38:25. | :38:32. | |
has just joined us and managed to slide in... | :38:33. | :38:36. | |
You did so well! I barely noticed you! | :38:37. | :38:42. | |
Good morning. Garrett has joined us to talk about | :38:43. | :38:45. | |
a documentary he has made, you can explain to us now you are here, for | :38:46. | :38:49. | |
people who don't know your history you came out as a rugby player, the | :38:50. | :38:53. | |
first rugby player to do so, rare in all sports and you have taken the | :38:54. | :38:56. | |
opportunity to look at football and homophobia? Basically because there | :38:57. | :39:03. | |
was a House of Commons select committee a year or so ago and they | :39:04. | :39:07. | |
got together to look at all sports in general and they came to the | :39:08. | :39:11. | |
conclusion that football was a homophobic sport. Every other sport, | :39:12. | :39:15. | |
I think it is important to say, is not really where it should be, there | :39:16. | :39:21. | |
are areas for progression in them, but football really was something | :39:22. | :39:24. | |
that did not seem to be tackling it, the other sport are trying, making | :39:25. | :39:29. | |
an effort, then Greg Clark pots comment, who runs the essay, | :39:30. | :39:34. | |
basically said that if a professional footballer came out he | :39:35. | :39:37. | |
feels they would get a lot of abuse, and I thought if a guy who runs an | :39:38. | :39:42. | |
organisation that Blake says that, and the reality is it is true, | :39:43. | :39:46. | |
surely you would go away and try to change it, and eradicated, stop it, | :39:47. | :39:50. | |
so I wanted to find out if anything is being done and where this | :39:51. | :39:55. | |
homophobia lies. It is interesting the reactions you got when you spoke | :39:56. | :39:58. | |
to various people, we are going to show a clip of the programme and we | :39:59. | :40:02. | |
will have to look at your face after it. | :40:03. | :40:05. | |
18 months ago, a British tabloid claimed two players were poised to | :40:06. | :40:08. | |
But no-one did, and the story disappeared. | :40:09. | :40:13. | |
He also represents several footballers. | :40:14. | :40:22. | |
So, without naming any names, do you personally know of any | :40:23. | :40:25. | |
footballers who are hiding their sexuality within | :40:26. | :40:27. | |
Yes, I do. Yeah? | :40:28. | :40:31. | |
And I think it's really difficult, and I know | :40:32. | :40:36. | |
the lies that they're living, and I know | :40:37. | :40:38. | |
the fear that they have, and | :40:39. | :40:39. | |
And yet they feel they've got no option, and I think that's really, | :40:40. | :40:47. | |
really sad, in today's world, that you have to live | :40:48. | :40:50. | |
It is fair to say, and you can explain more, there were several | :40:51. | :41:01. | |
times in this documentary way your head is literally in your hands, | :41:02. | :41:06. | |
exasperation, maybe anger as well at how little is being done? Yes, I had | :41:07. | :41:13. | |
a huge amount of passion for it because I kind of went into it | :41:14. | :41:20. | |
thinking, everything is open, I just want to find out what is going on, | :41:21. | :41:25. | |
and you come across people that are running the game that don't really | :41:26. | :41:31. | |
even know what homophobia is, the game is being run by very much | :41:32. | :41:35. | |
stereotypical people, and they are fishing things that to everyone | :41:36. | :41:40. | |
else, let's set up a campaign, a fluffy campaign, campaigns are great | :41:41. | :41:43. | |
and have a place but they never stop a problem, they just create | :41:44. | :41:48. | |
awareness. All the governing bodies do, if they set up different | :41:49. | :41:52. | |
campaigns, they pull in different directions and nothing really steps | :41:53. | :41:56. | |
out and eradicate the problem that is glaringly obvious, that a | :41:57. | :42:01. | |
minority, I have to say a minority, of funds and people who support the | :42:02. | :42:05. | |
game are unbelievably homophobic because they feel | :42:06. | :42:21. | |
it is something they are allowed to go and do on Saturday. Do you think | :42:22. | :42:26. | |
the target has to be at the fans, or the players, or the advertising, the | :42:27. | :42:28. | |
biggest sports brands? There are so many links that affect everyday | :42:29. | :42:31. | |
people and their image of football, who needs to be targeted first? For | :42:32. | :42:34. | |
me it is the likes of Greg Clark, Bill Bush, Gordon Taylor, they make | :42:35. | :42:36. | |
the power, they make the rules, they can make the change. Talking about | :42:37. | :42:39. | |
Donald Trump earlier, one person can either have a positive or negative | :42:40. | :42:41. | |
effect in making the rule and making a change, and it just seems like the | :42:42. | :42:46. | |
governing bodies are not really understanding how to stop something, | :42:47. | :42:50. | |
so there was always out there, but they are not being enforced. You | :42:51. | :42:54. | |
were told quite a few times by those people you were talking to that | :42:55. | :42:58. | |
progress is being made but the facts are that internationally across the | :42:59. | :43:02. | |
world as I understand there is only one out footballer currently? Non-in | :43:03. | :43:07. | |
the UK? We talk about progression, I spoke to the niece of Justin Fashanu | :43:08. | :43:11. | |
in the documentary and she made a very similar documentary five years | :43:12. | :43:15. | |
ago and says from five years to now absolutely nothing has changed. | :43:16. | :43:21. | |
Society has moved on so rapidly, and to create such a great environment, | :43:22. | :43:25. | |
but within the world of football it is lagging behind, and part of it is | :43:26. | :43:32. | |
the global game and the value of 18, say Manchester United, at around the | :43:33. | :43:36. | |
world is huge, and we have to remember that such a huge population | :43:37. | :43:41. | |
of the world it is still illegal to be gay in, so what kind of brand | :43:42. | :43:46. | |
does that give a team that are selling themselves globally if they | :43:47. | :43:50. | |
have an openly gay player? It really is a difficult thing for people to | :43:51. | :43:55. | |
do, but ultimately I care about the person, we say it is a player, a | :43:56. | :44:00. | |
footballer, behind that player is a person. Given your own experience, | :44:01. | :44:05. | |
you came out while you were playing, if you were a professional | :44:06. | :44:07. | |
footballer now do you think you would? As I am as a person now, | :44:08. | :44:13. | |
because I'm so strong to myself, I would love to because I would love | :44:14. | :44:17. | |
to stand outside the doors of the PFA, the FA, the Premier League and | :44:18. | :44:21. | |
say, you never created this environment but I'm telling you now, | :44:22. | :44:24. | |
you have to create an environment where I cannot and will not be | :44:25. | :44:28. | |
judged on my sexuality. But before you came out you were not as | :44:29. | :44:34. | |
confident? So would you do it? If I was a player now because I care so | :44:35. | :44:38. | |
much about my career and the reality that if homophobic abuse is allowed | :44:39. | :44:42. | |
to be chanted at football grounds without there being a gay player on | :44:43. | :44:45. | |
the field, what is that gay player going to walk into if he is openly | :44:46. | :44:50. | |
gay? Is that going to create it worse because fans try to create an | :44:51. | :44:56. | |
intimidating atmosphere and a lot of fans sometimes we'll cross that | :44:57. | :45:01. | |
line, and they are not being policed on what is black and white because | :45:02. | :45:06. | |
there are such big grey areas. It is a very interesting documentary and | :45:07. | :45:10. | |
it raises a lot of questions. I have learned a lot, it has been 50 years | :45:11. | :45:16. | |
since the decriminalisation of homosexuality and society has moved | :45:17. | :45:20. | |
on so far. We will be talking about that in a minute. Gareth, lovely to | :45:21. | :45:21. | |

Brandon Lewis joins us Thank you very much for your time | :45:53. | :46:07. | |
this morning. Good morning. I am a bit confused about the timing of | :46:08. | :46:12. | |
this report. Parliament is in recess. We can't see this debated, | :46:13. | :46:17. | |
and the report is not going to come back with any conclusions, we | :46:18. | :46:21. | |
understand, until September next year, six months before we leave the | :46:22. | :46:25. | |
EU. How was that going to work and be implemented? It is part of a | :46:26. | :46:34. | |
process. The advisory committee's work would not be debated in | :46:35. | :46:38. | |
Parliament at any time, anyway. What will be debated is the immigration | :46:39. | :46:43. | |
order that will come in next year. For the last year or so, we have all | :46:44. | :46:52. | |
been meeting with different sectors, across the country. I met with the | :46:53. | :46:58. | |
farmers' union just last week, and later today, we will meet | :46:59. | :47:00. | |
representatives of the City of London. That will be ongoing, as | :47:01. | :47:06. | |
will the committee's work, feeding in policy development over the next | :47:07. | :47:11. | |
year or so. It is about looking at the long-term plan and what we want | :47:12. | :47:16. | |
our immigration system to be when free movement ends. So this is an | :47:17. | :47:19. | |
idea to bring immigration down to the tens of thousands, the target | :47:20. | :47:23. | |
that the Conservatives have failed to hit yet? The committee's work | :47:24. | :47:29. | |
will inform policy decision. The committee will look at the impact of | :47:30. | :47:33. | |
migration on the economy, what the economy needs in terms of migrant | :47:34. | :47:36. | |
labour to prosper in the future, and I think it is achievable to have | :47:37. | :47:42. | |
reducing migration levels, have control of our borders, and still | :47:43. | :47:44. | |
have people coming to the country not just being welcome but being | :47:45. | :47:47. | |
hugely important part of our economy. The economy can grow while | :47:48. | :47:55. | |
we control our borders. You say the free movement of people will end | :47:56. | :48:01. | |
after Brexit. I know you have commissioned this report to see the | :48:02. | :48:04. | |
impact of immigration - do you have a plan about what will happen to | :48:05. | :48:08. | |
those people who are here from the EU? We have already offered the | :48:09. | :48:14. | |
citizens' right offer, which means that people who are already here and | :48:15. | :48:18. | |
who were here before the cut-off date, -- cut-off date, which is | :48:19. | :48:24. | |
being negotiated at the moment, will have the same rights pretty much as | :48:25. | :48:29. | |
British citizens. We are looking at what the system will be for those | :48:30. | :48:34. | |
who come to this country after that date and once we leave the EU. Later | :48:35. | :48:40. | |
this year, we will outline in a White Paper the broad approach to | :48:41. | :48:44. | |
that. It is work that has been going on over the last year or so. You say | :48:45. | :48:50. | |
the free movement of people with the EU will end after Brexit. In the | :48:51. | :48:54. | |
papers today, in the Financial Times, Amber Rudd, the Home | :48:55. | :48:57. | |
Secretary, has promised businesses she will not close the door to | :48:58. | :49:02. | |
European workers after Brexit, and this is being interpreted as a | :49:03. | :49:07. | |
softening of tone. How do your two statements marry? They are exactly | :49:08. | :49:11. | |
the same. In that statement in the Financial Times, she is clear that | :49:12. | :49:16. | |
free movement doesn't end when we leave the EU, but we're not ending | :49:17. | :49:21. | |
all migration. We want to make sure migration supports the economy and | :49:22. | :49:27. | |
delivers the benefits we have seen as a country for aeons. This is | :49:28. | :49:34. | |
about having control of our borders and a new system of immigration so | :49:35. | :49:42. | |
that we have the belly it -- the ability to control borders and to | :49:43. | :49:50. | |
help grow jobs. When I look at the statistics and research we have done | :49:51. | :49:53. | |
before talking to you, more than 60,000 people from the EU work in | :49:54. | :50:01. | |
the NHS, and it has been widely spoken about how difficult it is to | :50:02. | :50:05. | |
get people to do jobs in the NHS, which is understaffed. What happens | :50:06. | :50:10. | |
if this report says that we need more migrants and we need to have | :50:11. | :50:13. | |
more foreigners in this country to do these jobs, to support our key | :50:14. | :50:21. | |
services, yet that contradicts your immigration target? Not necessarily. | :50:22. | :50:27. | |
The committee's work will help develop policy, but in terms of | :50:28. | :50:36. | |
understanding what we need Ferrari and histories, whether it is people | :50:37. | :50:40. | |
that the NHS, for the tech industry, for the city. That we do need those | :50:41. | :50:46. | |
people, it is obvious already. That will continue to be an important | :50:47. | :50:52. | |
part of the economy after Brexit. The committee's work will define | :50:53. | :50:58. | |
what our sectors need and what we need four after 2019. Thank you for | :50:59. | :51:04. | |
talking to us this morning. Brandon Lewis, Immigration Minister. | :51:05. | :51:07. | |
Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather. | :51:08. | :51:14. | |
Good morning. We have some fabulous pictures this morning, a couple to | :51:15. | :51:18. | |
show you... The forecast for today is bright | :51:19. | :51:32. | |
spells, sunshine and showers. You can see the cloud we currently have, | :51:33. | :51:37. | |
but it has broken here and there, so we can see sunshine. There are some | :51:38. | :51:43. | |
showers. This low pressure is driving the weather. As it | :51:44. | :51:46. | |
approaches, showers will turn heavier, and the wind will | :51:47. | :51:49. | |
strengthen as well, particularly around western Scotland. A dry start | :51:50. | :51:56. | |
for some, brightness, showers in the West, developing and pushing east | :51:57. | :52:01. | |
through the day, some of them heavy. It will be a breezy day as well, and | :52:02. | :52:05. | |
around the shower is particularly so. If you are caught in a shower, | :52:06. | :52:10. | |
with the breeze, it will feel cool. In southern counties, bright spells | :52:11. | :52:16. | |
of sunshine and showers. Some showers across East Anglia and the | :52:17. | :52:19. | |
Midlands. Some others will not see them. In northern England and into | :52:20. | :52:27. | |
Scotland, it is a similar story - bright sunshine, and showers. There | :52:28. | :52:35. | |
may be longer spells of rain in the West of Scotland, and in Northern | :52:36. | :52:38. | |
Ireland, the breeze will pick up through the afternoon. Sunshine and | :52:39. | :52:45. | |
showers everywhere. Some of us will get away with a dry day with sunny | :52:46. | :52:50. | |
spells. Through the evening and overnight, we lose some of the | :52:51. | :52:55. | |
showers, and we have a new system coming into the West, introducing | :52:56. | :52:58. | |
rain into western Scotland and Northern Ireland. The wind picks up, | :52:59. | :53:07. | |
with gale force winds in coastal areas at times. Tomorrow, the band | :53:08. | :53:12. | |
of rain continues to travel east, becoming patchy as it does so. Then | :53:13. | :53:19. | |
a new set of fronts comes from the south-west. They will produce | :53:20. | :53:23. | |
stronger winds and heavy rain, particularly across Wales. In | :53:24. | :53:28. | |
northern England and southern Scotland, you could have a dry and | :53:29. | :53:32. | |
sunny day for much of the day. This rain will be moving north through | :53:33. | :53:38. | |
the day. Still some uncertainty as to its northern extent. Saturday | :53:39. | :53:49. | |
starts off cloudy, with rain in the South. More showers in the North | :53:50. | :53:55. | |
West, fewer showers and sunny spells in between. That takes us into | :53:56. | :53:58. | |
Sunday, which is a mixture of sunshine and showers, the showers | :53:59. | :54:03. | |
more frequent, some of them heavy and thundery. Quite a blustery day | :54:04. | :54:09. | |
as well. Carol, my final question - do you have a pair of binoculars? I | :54:10. | :54:16. | |
do. With you? I don't carry them! You would have been able to see | :54:17. | :54:19. | |
possibly the gamma ray burst that we are about to talk about. I look | :54:20. | :54:28. | |
forward to saving it is -- to seeing it. It was an explosion second only | :54:29. | :54:35. | |
to the Big Bang and was described as being so bright that you could see | :54:36. | :54:38. | |
it with a pair of binoculars. Despite being more than 9 billion | :54:39. | :54:44. | |
light years away. A gamma ray burst has been captured in unprecedented | :54:45. | :54:48. | |
detail by scientist. It is caused by a star collapsing, and it is hoped | :54:49. | :54:52. | |
it could solve some of the key questions about how the universe | :54:53. | :54:56. | |
works. Carol Mundell from the University of Bath is with us to | :54:57. | :55:01. | |
explain all. To be clear, this image is an artist's impression. That's | :55:02. | :55:08. | |
correct. Not the actual photograph. No, in the actual photograph, we | :55:09. | :55:13. | |
have just a spot. These objects are so far away, they look just like a | :55:14. | :55:17. | |
star in the photograph. We have to measure special properties of the | :55:18. | :55:23. | |
light to be able to figure out what it is. We just said it was | :55:24. | :55:29. | |
photographed in incredible detail, and you have a spot - how does that | :55:30. | :55:33. | |
give you more information? It exploded and we had a little bit of | :55:34. | :55:39. | |
luck, because we had a one second flash of very high energy gamma ray | :55:40. | :55:42. | |
light, and satellites above the Earth captured and sent a signal to | :55:43. | :55:48. | |
the ground, to robotic telescope, and they immediately started | :55:49. | :55:50. | |
photographing that part of the sky. Normally, we are chasing these | :55:51. | :55:53. | |
things after they have happen. And they are gone for ever after they | :55:54. | :56:00. | |
have happened. This time, we saw the big explosion. What are we seeing? | :56:01. | :56:07. | |
This is the incredibly bright spot. The other spots are stars in our own | :56:08. | :56:11. | |
galaxy, the Milky Way, and that spot is brighter than most of those. A | :56:12. | :56:20. | |
gamma ray burst, what does it do? It forms a black hole. And we have | :56:21. | :56:25. | |
captured it in real-time. I got a message on my phone saying, there is | :56:26. | :56:30. | |
a new black hole, so it is phenomenally exciting. This gave us | :56:31. | :56:33. | |
a bit of warning, and you don't usually get that. When you create a | :56:34. | :56:39. | |
black hole, and this is a really basic question and I may sound | :56:40. | :56:42. | |
stupid, do you then see things being sucked into it or gravitating | :56:43. | :56:50. | |
towards a? These stars are about 200 times the mass of the sun, and when | :56:51. | :56:59. | |
the centre collapses, they are so massive that it forms a black hole | :57:00. | :57:03. | |
about the same mass as our own Sun. The rest of the material is | :57:04. | :57:06. | |
plastered. We used to think it would be blasted off in an expanding | :57:07. | :57:10. | |
sphere, but we now realise because of experiments that the magnetic | :57:11. | :57:13. | |
field act like a corkscrew and pull the material into a focused beam, a | :57:14. | :57:18. | |
bit like a hosepipe, and this is shot out when it at Earth -- this is | :57:19. | :57:26. | |
shot out, and when it points at Earth, we see a bright spot. The big | :57:27. | :57:37. | |
question is, what would happen if one was in our Milky Way and pointed | :57:38. | :57:42. | |
at the? We would be toast. You were saying that they don't always happen | :57:43. | :57:46. | |
within our site, but is there any sign that it could happen? We used | :57:47. | :57:54. | |
to think that this only happened in distant, young galaxies, and we have | :57:55. | :58:03. | |
quite an old galaxy. A few years ago, we discovered a monster burst, | :58:04. | :58:11. | |
Forest runners at very close distance. On the issue of | :58:12. | :58:14. | |
binoculars, how big are the binoculars need to be? Just standard | :58:15. | :58:19. | |
ones. Amateur astronomers, this was very bright. It only lasted one | :58:20. | :58:29. | |
second? The gamma burst lasted for one second and then we had the | :58:30. | :58:33. | |
explosion which went on for longer. Thanks for joining us. | :58:34. | :58:36. | |
When bestselling novelist Patrick Gale was approached to write | :58:37. | :58:39. | |
a screenplay based on being a gay man in the 20th century, | :58:40. | :58:42. | |
he didn't need to look far for inspiration. | :58:43. | :58:43. | |
He drew on the experiences of his father to write | :58:44. | :58:47. | |
Man In An Orange Shirt, which is based on two love | :58:48. | :58:50. | |
At the heart of the story is a wife's discovery of letters | :58:51. | :58:54. | |
written by her husband to another man. | :58:55. | :58:55. | |
Patrick Gale join us, along with Joanna Vanderham, | :58:56. | :00:07. | |
PATRICK, THIS IS AN EXTRAORDINARY STORY AND ALL THE MORE EXTRAORDINARY | :00:08. | :00:20. | |
BECAUSE THIS IS YOUR STORY, your... Sort of my story, it is based on my | :00:21. | :00:27. | |
family. When I was 22 my mother told me this amazing story that when she | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
was pregnant with me she was tidying my father's desk before they moved | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
house and found a sheet of love letters which she shouldn't go from | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
an old girlfriend he had never mentioned and when she started to | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
read them she found they were from another man. This was 1961, it was | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
totally illegal then, my father was a prison governor so she was | :00:48. | :00:57. | |
terrified not only that he was breaking the law, or had been | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
breaking the law, but that he would lose his job and go to prison so she | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
burned the letters and never told him she had found them. She never | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
confronted him? It was all very English. The funny thing is, when | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
she told me this story, I think what she was saying to me was, don't | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
worry, darling, you may think you are gay but one day you will meet a | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
nice Christian woman like me who will burn your letters and forget | :01:16. | :01:23. | |
your past! Was your father alive when your mother told you? He was, | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
but we never spoke about it either. I have taken this in different | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
directions, imagined what would happen if Joanna's character, | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
loosely based on my mother, had confronted him and how it would play | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
out. Joanna, given the age you are and the society you have grown up | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
in, the mindset of that time and place where the secrets would be | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
held within a family and the disgrace, if you like, as it was | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
seen then, it is such a different time and place. It absolutely is. I | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
really had to get my head around her reaction, Flora's reaction, because | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
Patrick has written this wonderful scene where in the drama she does | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
confront her husband about these letters and she calls him | :02:07. | :02:14. | |
disgusting, criminal, don't touch me, the sort of common ignorance... | :02:15. | :02:23. | |
And then she goes into labour! Via as well, I suppose? Of the future of | :02:24. | :02:33. | |
her family -- fear as well. Exactly, and what is so heartbreaking about | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
it if it is either lit with it in silence or be alone, those are her | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
two choices, and ultimately it is this sort of love triangle where no | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
one can really be with who they want to be weird because even though she | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
stays married, he is not in the marriage in the way... All she wants | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
is to be this wonderful mother and wife, and his homosexuality means | :02:58. | :03:09. | |
that he cannot give her that so everybody is struggling with this | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
life that they could have lived and that they don't, and because they | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
don't talk about it the script is filled with this beautiful subtext | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
of everybody just sitting on... It is full of dot-dot-dot! Those | :03:22. | :03:34. | |
awkward silences. We have got Iggy Pop when your character is about to | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
be married and the husband to be's lover appear. Hello, you must be... | :03:38. | :03:47. | |
Daphne, older sister, matron of honour. Michael says you are an | :03:48. | :03:55. | |
artist, how romantic? Hardly. Flora, how do you do? You look wonderful. | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
Worth the wait. Thank you. I am sorry I could not come to your | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
supper party, I am horribly unsociable when I am working. | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
Talking of which, I bought you something, a wedding present. That | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
is so sweet! We should probably... Michael. You came. Of course I came. | :04:16. | :04:28. | |
I am curious what you said a moment ago about the silences around the | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
issues in those times and yet you then said that in your own family | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
your relationship with your father, and I know you are happy to share | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
these things because you write about them, you also perpetuated some of | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
that. That seems like a curious... It is very difficult because we want | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
to stick labels on everything but I would never say that my father was | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
gay. My father clearly had a great love with another man but that | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
didn't define him, and I truly believe that he loved my mother and | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
felt that by marrying her he was changing direction, doing his | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
Christian duty, and he loved being a father as well. I think he would | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
have been horrified to have any kind of label stuck on him like this, so | :05:08. | :05:20. | |
what I have tried to do in this drama is explore that middle ground | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
so Joanna and all the's characters, they are married to each other, they | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
try to love each other, they do their best, but I wanted it to be as | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
much a story about women and the shame that gets put on to women when | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
they feel their marriages are less than perfect or their motherhood is | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
less than perfect, as much about that as the gay character. You are | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
doing another programme on Saturday as well, Man In An Orange Shirt is | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
on Monday at 9pm, do you think we are close to saying, it is just a | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
love story, rather than convert this is a gay love story? I would love | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
that, I would love that because it is two difficult love stories, | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
episode two has a different love story related to the first and it is | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
about the difficulty of getting what you want and being happy. Presumably | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
even dramas have to have a label on them, maybe we will get to a point | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
where you don't have to love, this is a gay drama. Yes, I think we are | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
getting there and this story will help. But at the moment I don't | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
think we're quite there yet. I know when I was growing up, 12, 14, if a | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
show like this had come on television it would have made a huge | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
difference because at that age when you are stuck at home with your | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
family, television is a hugely important resource of role models. | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
Patrick, Joanna, thank you for coming. | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
Man In An Orange Shirt starts on BBC Two on Monday at 9pm. | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
In a moment we will speak to the Call The Midwife star Stephen | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
McGann. First, a last, brief | :06:49. | :08:21. | |
McGann. London News at 1:30pm. Now, let's | :08:22. | :08:22. | |
head back to BBC Breakfast. He's probably best known for playing | :08:23. | :08:31. | |
Doctor Patrick Turner in Call The Midwife, | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
set in the early days of the NHS, but Stephen McGann's own family tree | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
is equally intertwined In his new book, Stephen explores | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
the role that health care, or rather the lack of it, | :08:40. | :08:47. | |
played in shaping the lives of his I know you are interested in your | :08:48. | :08:59. | |
family history, but why a, and it does work, I didn't know if it | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
would, why do you think relating it to medicine, or maladies, makes this | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
so interesting? I started when I was 17 looking at my family treat, I | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
have an interest in this not just as Patrick Turner on TV but I had an | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
academic background in ideas of medicine and the way it relates to | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
society and how we think as a society about social medicine, if | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
you like. When I had an idea for this but it was because I was | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
looking back at all these records and you see this strange, steer | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
Latin phrases on death certificates and I think, they are interesting | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
phrases, you need to find out more. These diseases kept coming through, | :09:39. | :09:50. | |
things you don't hear much about, things like smallpox, and the one | :09:51. | :09:52. | |
that started me off with this book, I was looking at two of my ancestors | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
and they were in this wonderful second port of the Empire and two | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
children died of starvation... When are we talking about? This was the | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
1860s. So I tell a story of 150 years of my family but through the | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
ailments and diseases, and I call it maladies because some of them are | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
more than one tiny illness, they are sometimes maladies of the head which | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
they have to conquer. Being an actor as well, I was interested in, | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
imagine it is the baddie in a drama, the antagonist, some people it makes | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
them stronger, some people succumb, how did we get to where I am today, | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
what were these people like and how did they have the strength to go on? | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
Tell me about the McCann family, because people know you and your | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
brothers from television work, was everyone happy about your | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
exploration into the past? Within families some people have different | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
attitudes, some love to know things and others say, let's leave that bit | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
up the story there. Is everyone comfortable? It is fantastic, they | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
were really supportive of it, I had a particularly nice message from | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
Paul, you said, thank God we had you! I was the nerd when I was a kid | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
looking at all the records, and it was lovely, you said, thank God you | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
can articulate! Tell others who is who. There is marked, Joe, my little | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
sister Claire, me and Paul. This is us in Brooklyn is, coming second in | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
a happy family 's competition! This was me and my lovely wife Heidi. You | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
have taken on the role of family historian, medical historian? It is | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
a strange thing for them to suddenly see themselves but because we have | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
active in the family, you look at your family history not us, we don't | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
want to talk about these peasants, because many of my people were | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
peasants, but as actors we look at characters and even if they did bad | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
things all good things, you try to look at their motivation, how did he | :11:44. | :11:51. | |
survive in a prisoner of war camp... This was uncle Billy, this is one | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
character that stands out, without ruining the story, you spoke about | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
strength and how people dealt with these maladies, and he was almost | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
apologetic for being strong and rough and a bit of a scrapper. Is | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
that the only way he got through, he was a prisoner of war? He was, of | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
the Japanese, out in the far east. One of the most moving things, and | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
without saying too much about the story, me and my brother Mark were | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
children and he told us just once of this terrible war and at the very | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
end of this long, harrowing story, which is in the book, this speech he | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
gave still, for a hard man, a tough but kind man, was one of the most | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
moving things and he said, basically, I saw artists, good men, | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
gentlemen, strong and, I watched them with a because they were not | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
hard, tough street kids like me, and I knew how to hate, how to survive, | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
but he resented that, he resented the fact that there were only people | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
like him rescued by the Australians who finally walked three and he | :12:59. | :13:07. | |
said, we were robbed of those good people. And for a man like him to | :13:08. | :13:09. | |
look at those people with compassion, with the sophistication | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
as well, was so moving, even as a child. There are some fascinating | :13:13. | :13:14. | |
stories in there, thank you so much. He is a good storyteller! | :13:15. | :13:16. | |
