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.

ambulance pilot before becoming a full-time royal.

:00:58.:01:02.

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

France or Italy on Friday. And finally, how about this for some

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

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,

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.

: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

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

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

wonderful pills... There is already an NHS campaign

the evidence will be reviewed, but that for now the message remains

- you should stick to prescriptions, and always follow

: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.

officials, tweeted to say he was so proud of our transgender personnel.

:08:57.:08:59.

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.

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

performance against Spain. It is about bringing

:37:10.:37:11.

those areas together, and improving, and keeping

that snowball rolling, because we want to go

: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.

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

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

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.

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.

see you. Alfie v Homophobia:

:45:22.:45:22.

Hate In The Beautiful Game is on BBC One in Wales

:45:23.:45:24.

at 9pm this evening, and will be available

:45:25.:45:27.

on the iPlayer shortly afterwards. Alfie is Gareth's Nick Nairn,

:45:28.:45:32.

everyone calls him that. It is the issue which reportedly

:45:33.:45:37.

led many to back Leave Immigration and control

:45:38.:45:40.

of who can travel from the EU Now, the Government has taken

:45:41.:45:43.

a major step in designing a new immigration policy

:45:44.:45:47.

for after Brexit. A set of independent experts will be

:45:48.:45:50.

asked to analyse the economic The Immigration Minister

:45:51.:45:52.

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.
