:00:00. > :00:07.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Naga

:00:08. > :00:11.Increased safety concerns following the Grenfell Tower fire -

:00:12. > :00:14.dozens of tower blocks fail a new, more thorough, fire safety test.

:00:15. > :00:17.The BBC understands at least 60 buildings will be declared

:00:18. > :00:21.Councils warn that the cost of making them safe will run

:01:13. > :01:15.Nearly ?30 billion in mis-sold PPI compensation has been paid out

:01:16. > :01:18.by British banks, and there's still much more to come.

:01:19. > :01:21.I'll be taking a look at when it will ever end.

:01:22. > :01:23.In sport, England's women ease into the quarter-finals

:01:24. > :01:25.of the European Championship, with victory over Portugal -

:01:26. > :01:29.but for Scotland it's a case of so near, yet so far.

:01:30. > :01:33.And there's confusion at the races as a 50-1 winner turns out to be

:01:34. > :01:49.I am below the streets of London. These tunnels were built over 100

:01:50. > :01:52.years ago. They used to be used to transport mail and parcels below the

:01:53. > :01:56.streets of London. They are about to be reopened to the public after

:01:57. > :01:58.being long abandoned. We will find out how and why later on. New line

:01:59. > :02:07.and Sarah has the weather. Our unsettled theme continues. Lots

:02:08. > :02:09.of cloud and heavy showers forecast. I will have the details in 15

:02:10. > :02:12.minutes. BBC News understands that at least

:02:13. > :02:15.60 high-rise buildings, which used insulation and cladding

:02:16. > :02:18.similar to Grenfell Tower, The test is seen as more

:02:19. > :02:25.thorough than previous ones, as more materials were analysed

:02:26. > :02:28.together for the first time. So far, just nine of the buildings

:02:29. > :02:31.which failed have been identified. They're in Salford

:02:32. > :02:33.in Greater Manchester, where the local council is asking

:02:34. > :02:36.for help from central government Ministers will publish the full test

:02:37. > :02:47.findings later this morning, While those touched by Grenfell

:02:48. > :02:50.Tower wait for a full picture of how this fire spread, the residents in

:02:51. > :02:56.other towers are nervous, wondering if they are safe. These blocks in

:02:57. > :03:00.Salford, nine of them, are among the 60 across England we understand will

:03:01. > :03:07.be declared a risk after failing the latest tests. The fire, lying in bed

:03:08. > :03:12.at night, thinking that it is not safe, you know... It is bad, isn't

:03:13. > :03:17.it? They should take the lot. I don't care how much money it costs,

:03:18. > :03:22.it is people's lives. I think we are sitting on a tinderbox. Some of the

:03:23. > :03:26.cladding had already come down. Now the rest will come to. In the first

:03:27. > :03:30.round of tests, panels from every building failed. After criticism

:03:31. > :03:35.that wasn't realistic, experts have now combined cladding and the

:03:36. > :03:39.installation fitted behind it to show which materials are dangerous

:03:40. > :03:45.when they are put together, like they were on Grenfell Tower.

:03:46. > :03:47.Yesterday police said there are reasonable grounds to suspect

:03:48. > :03:52.corporate manslaughter may have been committed by the Council or the

:03:53. > :03:55.tenant management organisation. More than six weeks since Groenefeld

:03:56. > :04:01.burned, the investigation is finding its focus, while the reverberations

:04:02. > :04:03.beat right across the country. -- Grenfell burned.

:04:04. > :04:05.At 7:10 we'll be speaking to the trade magazine,

:04:06. > :04:08.Its new investigation suggests that hundreds of tower blocks in England

:04:09. > :04:11.have safety flaws, including broken fire doors and holes in walls,

:04:12. > :04:22.Defence cuts have left the UK reliant

:04:23. > :04:26.on other countries to protect British waters,

:04:27. > :04:29.According to figures obtained by the party,

:04:30. > :04:32.NATO allies sent nearly 40 planes to the UK last year to help

:04:33. > :04:36.The Ministry of Defence says most of the aircraft were for training

:04:37. > :04:41.People who drink alcohol three to four times a week are 30% less

:04:42. > :04:43.likely to develop diabetes than those who never drink.

:04:44. > :04:47.More than 70,000 people took part in a large Danish health study that

:04:48. > :04:51.The UK's leading diabetes charity warns this isn't a "green light"

:04:52. > :04:59.Our health reporter Katie Silver explains.

:05:00. > :05:05.Diabetes is one of the biggest health challenge is the UK faces

:05:06. > :05:08.today. More than three and half million people currently live with

:05:09. > :05:14.the condition, and the numbers are only getting worse. But new findings

:05:15. > :05:18.from Denmark could revive some hope. Researchers at the national

:05:19. > :05:21.Institute of Public health at the University of Southern Denmark found

:05:22. > :05:24.that people who drink alcohol have the lowest risk of getting type 2

:05:25. > :05:28.diabetes, beating even the teetotallers. The best results were

:05:29. > :05:33.found for men who drink 14 drinks per week and women who drink nine.

:05:34. > :05:36.But rather than drinking at all on a Saturday night, they found this

:05:37. > :05:41.weekly intake has to be spread over three or four days. The study also

:05:42. > :05:45.found that not all alcohol is equal. Line appeared to be particularly

:05:46. > :05:49.beneficial, as the chemical compounds, especially in red wine,

:05:50. > :05:55.seem to help manage blood sugar. -- wine appeared. And women were warned

:05:56. > :06:00.to stay clear of gin. A daily tipple of that, or other spirits, increases

:06:01. > :06:04.their diabetes risk by 83%. Diabetes UK warns that the effect of alcohol

:06:05. > :06:08.on developing diabetes differs from one person to the next. Where did

:06:09. > :06:12.the people who were drinking an awful lot, when was this happening?

:06:13. > :06:16.Were there different times of the year that they would thinking more

:06:17. > :06:20.alcohol? Which had an impact? For example, if you are in the festive

:06:21. > :06:24.season, people drink a little bit more and eat a little bit more.

:06:25. > :06:28.Those kinds of things really were not discussed in much detail. While

:06:29. > :06:32.this study is in its early stages, it is hoped it might spur future

:06:33. > :06:38.research to help some of the 12 million Brit on is currently at risk

:06:39. > :06:39.of developing type 2 diabetes. -- Britons.

:06:40. > :06:43.Aid workers in Greece have told BBC News they're dealing with hundreds

:06:44. > :06:46.of extremely vulnerable refugees being held on the island of Lesbos.

:06:47. > :06:48.Many have suffered torture and sexual abuse at the hands

:06:49. > :06:51.of so-called Islamic State in Syria and Iraq.

:06:52. > :06:53.The European Commission said that such refugees should be moved

:06:54. > :06:59.We'll be live in Lesbos in just over half an hour's time,

:07:00. > :07:04.as our reporter Gavin Lee tell us more on this story.

:07:05. > :07:07.Bags of rubbish are piling up in Birmingham as bin collectors

:07:08. > :07:12.A row with the council over job losses and changes to working

:07:13. > :07:17.Thousands of residents have been affected, despite council efforts

:07:18. > :07:19.to add extra collections, and many people are complaining

:07:20. > :07:23.The strike is set to last until September.

:07:24. > :07:25.Istanbul was hit by violent thunderstorms yesterday which caused

:07:26. > :07:28.major disruption in the city and injured at least two people.

:07:29. > :07:32.These pictures show the ferocity of the storm, which led rush hour

:07:33. > :07:34.commuters to take cover as hailstones as big

:07:35. > :07:41.The storm also uprooted trees and led to flight cancellations.

:07:42. > :07:43.Donald Trump's new communications director has launched a foul-mouthed

:07:44. > :07:45.attack against two of his senior colleagues.

:07:46. > :07:47.Anthony Scaramucci used obscene language to describe

:07:48. > :07:49.the White House Chief of Staff, Reince Preibus,

:07:50. > :07:53.It's the latest drama to hit Mr Trump's West Wing,

:07:54. > :08:05.as our Washington correspondent Laura Bicker reports.

:08:06. > :08:12.President Trump's west wing is at war with itself. The appointment of

:08:13. > :08:16.the flashy financier Anthony Scaramucci as the new director of

:08:17. > :08:20.communications has prompted a bitter battle to win the ear of the

:08:21. > :08:25.President. Anthony Scaramucci has indirectly accused his colleague,

:08:26. > :08:28.White House chief of staff Reince Priebus, of leaking information

:08:29. > :08:32.about the administration. He called a US network show to say that only

:08:33. > :08:35.Mr Trump could judge with the tense relationship between the two was

:08:36. > :08:40.rapper of all. We have had differences. When I said we were

:08:41. > :08:45.brothers from the podium, that is because we are. But some brothers

:08:46. > :08:49.are like Cain and Abel. Other brothers can fight with each other

:08:50. > :08:54.and get along. I don't know whether this is repairable or not, that will

:08:55. > :08:57.be up to the President. Tonight, in an extraordinary phone call with a

:08:58. > :09:01.reporter from the New Yorker, Anthony Scaramucci describe Reince

:09:02. > :09:04.Priebus as a paranoid schizophrenic. He also talked personally about Mr

:09:05. > :09:08.Trump's chief strategist, Stephen Bannon. On Twitter he said he would

:09:09. > :09:11.refrain from using colourful language but would not give up the

:09:12. > :09:15.passionate fight for Donald Trump's agenda. Anthony Scaramucci has been

:09:16. > :09:18.in the Westminster just one week, and appears to have spent more time

:09:19. > :09:23.launching personal attacks than pushing the President's odysseys. He

:09:24. > :09:29.may also be forcing the chief of staff, and a key Republican

:09:30. > :09:31.establishment figure, out the door. We will continue with the saucy

:09:32. > :09:32.theme, perhaps. There's a North-South divide when it

:09:33. > :09:35.comes to what sauce we choose to put New research claims that people

:09:36. > :09:39.in north-west England, Scotland and Northern Ireland

:09:40. > :09:41.are more than twice as likely to have brown sauce on their shelves

:09:42. > :09:45.than those in London. Three quarters of us apparently

:09:46. > :09:49.can't eat a meal without a bit of sauce on the side,

:09:50. > :09:52.and half of us have even had to make a dash to the shops to buy some

:09:53. > :10:06.sauce before sitting down to eat. Do you have a preference, Charlie? I

:10:07. > :10:09.tell you what, one of the things that occurs to me, looking at a full

:10:10. > :10:13.English breakfast like that, including baked beans, is that I

:10:14. > :10:17.would sometimes have tomato sauce with a full English breakfast. But I

:10:18. > :10:21.like to separate the beans away from... Yes, that is what Alan

:10:22. > :10:26.Partridge does! He uses the source is a breakwater. -- uses the

:10:27. > :10:31.sausage. You can buy a T-shirt saying that. I will buy that for you

:10:32. > :10:34.to Christmas. I am not a particular Alan Partridge fan, but that is

:10:35. > :10:38.true. It is very important to separate them. Yes, you cannot let

:10:39. > :10:44.the egg and the beans merge. Very messy. You've got me excited now. It

:10:45. > :10:49.is so good when you know the perfect present. Exactly. I'm definitely a

:10:50. > :10:51.red sauce man. Anyway, very exciting to England, but disappointing to

:10:52. > :10:57.Scotland in the European championship. -- for Scotland.

:10:58. > :10:59.England kept their winning momentum going, and go

:11:00. > :11:01.into their quarter-final against France as the team

:11:02. > :11:06.After they beat Portugal 2-1, in front of nearly 3,500 in Tilborg.

:11:07. > :11:09.The Lionesses weren't at their best, but goals from Toni Duggan

:11:10. > :11:12.and Nikita Paris were enough to win the group.

:11:13. > :11:16.But for scotland it was a case yet again of so near but so far.

:11:17. > :11:19.They beat Spain but couldn't score enough goals to take them

:11:20. > :11:23.It was a happy homecoming for Wayne Rooney in his first

:11:24. > :11:27.Thanks to Leighton Baines, they won the first leg

:11:28. > :11:29.of their Europa league qualifying tie, 1-0,

:11:30. > :11:34.This is an amazing tale from Yarmouth Races where the winner

:11:35. > :11:37.of the first race, Mandarin Princess, was later found

:11:38. > :11:46.She was the shock 50-1 winner - or so it was thought,

:11:47. > :11:48.because after routine testing, it was discovered that

:11:49. > :11:50.Mandarin Princess, here in the blue, was actually stablemate

:11:51. > :11:57.Millie's Kiss - a horse with more experience.

:11:58. > :12:03.Both horses were trained by Charlie McBride,

:12:04. > :12:10.and an investigation has been ordered by the British Horseracing

:12:11. > :12:26.Just to be clear, the horse that you said one the race, she actually

:12:27. > :12:31.didn't win the race? No, because it wasn't that horse. But it has been

:12:32. > :12:35.allowed to keep first place? All the punters thought it was the horse

:12:36. > :12:38.that they thought it was, so it wasn't their fault they thought it

:12:39. > :12:42.was a different horse, so they were allowed to keep their winnings of 50

:12:43. > :12:49.to one. But the horse didn't officially win? Um... The horse did

:12:50. > :12:56.win, but it was not the force that everybody thought it was. A horse

:12:57. > :13:01.won. Yes! It had four legs, a mane in the tail. We are never short of

:13:02. > :13:03.the facts here. Let's talk to Sarah and find out what is happening with

:13:04. > :13:11.the weather. Quite a lot of cloud across much of

:13:12. > :13:15.the country to begin the day. A little bit of sunshine here and

:13:16. > :13:18.there. This photograph of the sunrise was taken by one of our

:13:19. > :13:21.Weather Watchers in Henley-on-Thames. A few brighter

:13:22. > :13:26.spells breaking through the clouds. Through the day that will increase.

:13:27. > :13:31.Sunny spells in the morning, but by the afternoon it should be cloudy in

:13:32. > :13:34.many places, with showers on the heavy side. Low pressure still

:13:35. > :13:38.dominating the weather. At the moment it is sitting to the

:13:39. > :13:42.north-west of the UK. Quite tightly spaced isobars and a breezy feel to

:13:43. > :13:45.the weather as we move through the day. The breeze coming in from the

:13:46. > :13:48.south-west, bringing with it some showers, especially across Scotland

:13:49. > :13:52.and Northern Ireland through this morning. Later this afternoon, more

:13:53. > :13:55.of those showers across parts of England and Wales, drifting their

:13:56. > :13:59.way east. At four o'clock this afternoon, Scotland and Northern

:14:00. > :14:02.Ireland will see a mix of sunny spells but also blustery showers,

:14:03. > :14:06.with some on the heavy side and they could really odd rumble of thunder.

:14:07. > :14:09.Heading south, a bit more brightness across Yorkshire, but cloud

:14:10. > :14:13.increasing across Wales and bringing with it outbreaks of persistent rain

:14:14. > :14:16.pushing in across the south-west of England, where it will be quite

:14:17. > :14:20.windy through the afternoon. Largely dry across the south-east in the

:14:21. > :14:24.afternoon. Fairly cloudy here, but the brain will push east later in

:14:25. > :14:28.the day. For the third test at the Oval, a cloudy sort of day. The wind

:14:29. > :14:33.will pick up later on. We could see a little bit of rain in the second

:14:34. > :14:37.half of the afternoon. This area of weight -- rain across Wales and

:14:38. > :14:39.southern England will push north and east through the afternoon. Heavy

:14:40. > :14:43.for a time across northern and central England, clearing to the

:14:44. > :14:47.south-east overnight tonight. A spell of wet weather for many of us.

:14:48. > :14:50.Scotland and Northern Ireland also keeping the showery theme to the

:14:51. > :14:58.weather through tonight. What about the weekend? It is looking unsettled

:14:59. > :15:02.steel. -- still. Low pressure sitting to the north-west of the UK,

:15:03. > :15:06.dragging in showers. The weather fronts that brought the rain

:15:07. > :15:10.overnight, on Saturday it sits off the south coast. Dry for many of us

:15:11. > :15:13.on the first half of Saturday, then that weather front creeps north

:15:14. > :15:16.across parts of southern England during Saturday afternoon. We still

:15:17. > :15:19.have showers across Scotland and Northern Ireland, but elsewhere

:15:20. > :15:24.there will be drier and brighter weather. On Sunday, another day of

:15:25. > :15:28.sunshine and showers. The same theme continuing through the weekend. Some

:15:29. > :15:31.of those showers will bring the odd rumble of thunder as well, towards

:15:32. > :15:37.the north and the west in particular. Drier in the south-east,

:15:38. > :15:40.temperatures around 17- 21. All in all, to summarise your weekend

:15:41. > :15:44.weather, it is looking cool, breezy, not a washout, there will be some

:15:45. > :15:46.spells of sunshine, but also some fairly frequent and at times heavy

:15:47. > :15:59.showers as well. Sean and Mike are back with us now.

:16:00. > :16:06.Look at the papers. First, the Daily Telegraph. This is just what will be

:16:07. > :16:11.the situation of the Brexit? Many ministers giving their opinions.

:16:12. > :16:15.These are the quotes from the Home Secretary Amber Rudd, saying that

:16:16. > :16:19.citizens will be allowed to come to the UK and live and work after

:16:20. > :16:23.wrecks it, for a period of time, as long as they register -- Brexit.

:16:24. > :16:26.Philip Hammond will be with us later.

:16:27. > :16:33.We will try to clear up with him what exactly... What stage we are at

:16:34. > :16:38.with Brexit and what we can expect when we officially leave the EU. The

:16:39. > :16:43.FT reports that he has been speaking to business leaders and says he

:16:44. > :16:45.wants to negotiate a two phased Brexit deal, starting with an

:16:46. > :16:51.off-the-shelf transition period, where the UK will maintain a trading

:16:52. > :16:54.relationship with the EU and then the next two years will see further

:16:55. > :16:57.negotiations, or a further transition. We will try to clear

:16:58. > :17:02.this up with him later. On the theme of money, on the front

:17:03. > :17:10.page of the Times, this is the boss of Amazon. Is that right? Jeff

:17:11. > :17:12.Bezos. I love the way they have put him on the front page with Bill

:17:13. > :17:18.Gates. It's like a movie.

:17:19. > :17:22.Because Jeff Bezos founded Amazon and he is now worth, well, for a

:17:23. > :17:27.moment yesterday when the shares got high enough it was worth $96

:17:28. > :17:30.billion, which took him over Bill Gates, only $90 billion. But when

:17:31. > :17:34.the share price dropped again Jeff Bezos became the second richest man.

:17:35. > :17:40.I think when you are that which you don't care. But Jeff Bezos looks

:17:41. > :17:47.like he's enjoying it. Why not? Many of the papers this morning, the

:17:48. > :17:51.Daily Mail, the final ruling on Charlie Gard's situation was made

:17:52. > :17:56.yesterday and many of the papers have those images on the front pages

:17:57. > :17:59.and also the front page of the Daily Mirror.

:18:00. > :18:04.Also a story we are covering on Breakfast this morning, drinking

:18:05. > :18:09.wine can fight diabetes. The study has taken a look at the impact of

:18:10. > :18:13.drinking alcohol and diabetes. What this study says is that drinking

:18:14. > :18:20.alcohol three or four days a week can significantly cut the chance of

:18:21. > :18:26.getting diabetes, but this isn't giving the green light to drink

:18:27. > :18:30.excessively. More on the tale of the horses, the

:18:31. > :18:33.two people couldn't tell apart. The editor says there needs to be

:18:34. > :18:42.changes because at the moment they all arrive, they are scanty in with

:18:43. > :18:46.a microchip -- scanned with a microchip. Then the stewards checked

:18:47. > :18:51.to make sure they have the same race equipment, the right colour and the

:18:52. > :18:55.right sex. So if two horses look similar, it is possible to see how a

:18:56. > :18:59.mistake like this might happen. The trainer says he is really sorry, it

:19:00. > :19:06.was human error, he was stressed and rushing and somehow the wrong horse

:19:07. > :19:13.went to the wrong race. Mandarin Princess was meant to be the horse

:19:14. > :19:17.running and then Kiss went in. She was far more experienced and was

:19:18. > :19:23.able to win, even though everyone thought it was Mandarin Princess.

:19:24. > :19:27.And everyone was happy because the punters have got their money, the

:19:28. > :19:32.journalists have a story. I think they are paying out. The

:19:38. > :19:41.is a bit embarrassing. But people do accept it was genuine human error,

:19:42. > :19:44.but it can't really happen again. Thank you very much.

:19:45. > :19:46.Fracking, the controversial process of drilling into shale rock

:19:47. > :19:50.to extract gas, could get under way within weeks,

:19:51. > :19:55.after the rig used to drill arrived at a site in Lancashire yesterday.

:19:56. > :19:59.Protesters are continuing to try and delay the start of the fracking,

:20:00. > :20:01.and are holding a carnival by the site later.

:20:02. > :20:18.Good morning. Just give us a sense of what's happening. Good morning.

:20:19. > :20:22.We've got three delivery lorries that will be servicing the site

:20:23. > :20:25.about a quarter of a mile up the road. Protesters have been up there

:20:26. > :20:32.now for three days. They climbed up early in the week and have been up

:20:33. > :20:43.there 20 -- 24/ seven. Lancashire Constabulary said they are spending

:20:44. > :20:46.about ?500,000 a month. Despite the big camp and escalation in

:20:47. > :20:54.demonstrations in the last couple of weeks, the company that is seeking

:20:55. > :20:57.to explore for shale gas up the road has managed to get a major drill

:20:58. > :21:01.into position, so they will be installing mat and building it over

:21:02. > :21:05.the next couple of weeks and fracking, Explorer to it fracking,

:21:06. > :21:08.will start. This area is very much at the vanguard of fracking in the

:21:09. > :21:15.UK. While the party and protest

:21:16. > :21:18.continued outside the site, insight behind the thin yellow line

:21:19. > :21:24.preparations for the next major step in UK fracking are taking place.

:21:25. > :21:27.This is a big deal for all sides. Local campaigner Barbara Richardson

:21:28. > :21:32.has fought this fracking site, known as Preston new road, every step of

:21:33. > :21:38.the way and believes if shale gas is extracted here than other sites will

:21:39. > :21:42.follow. Imagine these every two 25 miles across this beautiful, rural

:21:43. > :21:47.place, known for agriculture and tourism. Imagine what it will be

:21:48. > :21:53.like. If you don't stop it now, you're opening the door, so you've

:21:54. > :21:58.got to stop it now. July has in the local T bolstered by protesters the

:21:59. > :22:02.group Reclaim the Power. They've been trying to disrupt access,

:22:03. > :22:05.climbing on top of lorries, sitting on the road and locking themselves

:22:06. > :22:10.to vehicles. How do you justify this? We are not targeting the lorry

:22:11. > :22:15.drivers, we understand they did a job and they need to feed their

:22:16. > :22:19.children and take some money. We are not obviously targeting them, but

:22:20. > :22:23.what they have on the back of their lorries is more equipment for them

:22:24. > :22:27.to get into the fracking site and create the fracking, so the more we

:22:28. > :22:30.delay it has lowered the task is going to be, the more it costs the

:22:31. > :22:38.company. But despite their efforts the drilling will go as low as 3500

:22:39. > :22:42.metres below the soil and it has just been brought in. They will then

:22:43. > :22:49.drill horizontally, fractured a shale rock and release the gas. And

:22:50. > :22:53.this site will be the most monitored gas exploration site ever, I would

:22:54. > :22:58.say. We are monitoring air-quality, water quality, noise, traffic

:22:59. > :23:03.movement, all of that being monitored 24 hours a day and all of

:23:04. > :23:06.that made publicly available. We also have the Environment Agency

:23:07. > :23:09.that have already visited a six times, we only started constructing

:23:10. > :23:14.in January, doing their own monitoring. So I can say to people

:23:15. > :23:18.that you don't need to take my word for it. The data will be out there

:23:19. > :23:24.to demonstrate that this is being done properly. The process remains

:23:25. > :23:29.highly controversial. From the for shale gas to the technology, to the

:23:30. > :23:33.way these demonstrations are policed. -- the demand for shale

:23:34. > :23:35.gas. The answer is locked deep within our feet, but not for much

:23:36. > :23:45.longer. Let's talk to Sebastian Kelly, from

:23:46. > :23:49.the campaign group Reclaim the Power, that has organised a lot of

:23:50. > :23:53.the protest this week. We know this drilling kit has gone through, to

:23:54. > :24:00.allow for the Explorer tree says. Does that mean you have failed? --

:24:01. > :24:04.exploratory. Not at all. This was never going to hinge on one event or

:24:05. > :24:08.piece of infrastructure. The fight against fracking has been going on

:24:09. > :24:14.for many years and it is building up and escalating and the fight will

:24:15. > :24:19.continue. The mood in the camp is good. We would hear a couple of days

:24:20. > :24:23.ago, but there have been issues. There have been confrontations with

:24:24. > :24:26.the police at times. We have heard from contractors, that some other

:24:27. > :24:30.people have verbally abused the contractors. What do you say to

:24:31. > :24:34.people to try to make sure you are protesting lawfully? Our focus is

:24:35. > :24:41.always on treating those that we encountered in the course of

:24:42. > :24:47.deploying actions with respect. I've been here much of the month and my

:24:48. > :24:50.own personal experience has been that the protests have been

:24:51. > :24:55.overwhelmingly peaceful in intent and action. Unfortunately there has

:24:56. > :24:58.been some violence from the company's own private security and

:24:59. > :25:02.on occasion from police but overwhelmingly the mood has been

:25:03. > :25:05.peaceful. I know some of that stuff is being looked into and an

:25:06. > :25:09.investigation is taking place. Both sides will have a different version

:25:10. > :25:14.of events. When you think about fracking, if the site is successful,

:25:15. > :25:19.it becomes the first in the UK due horizontally Phrack for shale gas.

:25:20. > :25:24.If it is successful it's a game changer. You will have lost? We

:25:25. > :25:29.haven't lost. Actually, our motto is not here, not anywhere. This is

:25:30. > :25:34.currently the fracking frontline. People have gathered from all over

:25:35. > :25:41.the country, especially this month, to come and support the heroic

:25:42. > :25:44.actions happening locally, the fight Quadrilla and the fracking industry

:25:45. > :25:49.and other termination only grows to turn back this toxic on a hazardous,

:25:50. > :25:53.unnecessary, unsustainable industry. Thank you very much. You will have

:25:54. > :25:59.heard in the film Quadrilla talking about the safeguards they make sure

:26:00. > :26:03.are in place to ensure the practice is in fact say. We will talk to all

:26:04. > :26:07.sorts of different voices throughout the morning, hear from some local

:26:08. > :26:11.people and hear some local people against. Just to give you an idea of

:26:12. > :26:19.the timescale, because that's important. These are Explorer to --

:26:20. > :26:25.exploratory drilling. Then they will have to set up a brand new set of

:26:26. > :26:29.admissions to see if it will be commercially viable. If that than

:26:30. > :26:35.approved we could see shale gas, out of the Lancashire shale rock in the

:26:36. > :26:41.next couple of months, probably the first part of 2018, the first part

:26:42. > :26:45.of next year. It is a big if. We will have to wait and see.

:26:46. > :26:46.We will be getting lots of views on this. Speak to you later.

:26:47. > :30:05.Time now to get the news from our BBC teams across the UK.

:30:06. > :30:08.I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom

:38:57. > :38:58.violence, rioting and fires The camps are full and migrants,

:38:59. > :39:06.though smaller in number, The people arriving here

:39:07. > :39:10.in Lesbos are different now because of the ripple effect

:39:11. > :39:14.from the conflicts in Iraq and Syria since so-called Islamic State

:39:15. > :39:16.started to lose ground. Many who've arrived in Greece

:39:17. > :39:18.have escaped attention. Men tortured by IS fighters,

:39:19. > :39:21.women used as sex slaves, some are pregnant here,

:39:22. > :39:23.there's little support and it's worsening the problem

:39:24. > :39:28.on an already volatile island. We're very worried, we think we need

:39:29. > :39:31.to improve the healthcare given If they're vulnerable they need

:39:32. > :39:35.to be recognised as such and many to move somewhere where

:39:36. > :39:37.they can get care. The reality is there isn't this care

:39:38. > :39:41.here on the island and they need to move to the mainland

:39:42. > :39:43.to receive it. Scars from years of torture,

:39:44. > :39:48.Osama was once a civilian policeman that was caught by rebel

:39:49. > :39:51.groups and sold to IS. He said he was regularly beaten

:39:52. > :39:56.and sexually abused by his captors. "I have so many marks of torture

:39:57. > :40:00.on my body," he tells me, "I've been in captivity for three

:40:01. > :40:03.years, two years locked in one room. I lost my family, I lost my wife,

:40:04. > :40:07.I haven't seen anything about them. All this and now I'm here in this

:40:22. > :40:23.quickly for specialist Greek authorities claim they've been

:40:24. > :40:29.overwhelmed by cases and they say I would like at this point to remind

:40:30. > :40:34.that 30,000 people have come through the island since March,

:40:35. > :40:37.2016, so there can be individual cases, some individual cases,

:40:41. > :40:48.the most help are still waiting and with more migrants arriving

:40:52. > :40:53.to cope in volatile, Our Europe reporter Gavin Lee

:40:54. > :41:15.is in Lesbos for us this morning. Gavin, good morning. Such a

:41:16. > :41:19.beautiful setting, where you are, but such a contrast to the needs of

:41:20. > :41:23.these people, who have been through absolute hell, and now authorities

:41:24. > :41:30.have to think of how to help these people integrate, but also move on

:41:31. > :41:34.with their lives. Yeah, it is almost two separate issues. There is the

:41:35. > :41:38.asylum issue for those still on the island, some of whom have been here

:41:39. > :41:41.for more than a year, but there is the separate issue of mental health,

:41:42. > :41:45.the trauma that these people have been through, and the new wave of

:41:46. > :41:49.people coming through this push back of Islamic State in Raqqa and Mosul,

:41:50. > :41:52.who are still in the island and absolutely deserve trauma care and

:41:53. > :41:56.mental health support. You have the Greek government and the European

:41:57. > :41:59.Commission all saying that they will be helping them, but the Greek

:42:00. > :42:02.government says they are not getting enough cases referred, the charity

:42:03. > :42:05.workers say they are screaming at the Greek government to get these

:42:06. > :42:09.people to Athens for medical care. The latest this morning appears to

:42:10. > :42:15.be that the Greek government is saying it is looking urgently at the

:42:16. > :42:19.situation. We may see some movement. Some people could be taken off the

:42:20. > :42:21.island in the next few days. Gavin, thank you. That was Gavin Lee in

:43:49. > :43:53.south England and Wales. In the afternoon you will see cloud

:43:54. > :43:57.increasing across England and Wales. More persistent rain here, and the

:46:12. > :46:12.customers affected by the PPI scandal.

:46:13. > :46:20.We got a little snippet yesterday from Lloyds bank, quite an expensive

:46:21. > :46:24.snippet, and today we will hear more from other banks about how much that

:46:25. > :46:29.PPI scandal will cost them overall. Good morning.

:46:30. > :46:36.You might have thought online was being drawn under the scandal, at

:46:37. > :46:39.payments keep coming. The idea of PPI is to cover those loan

:46:40. > :46:44.repayments people might have if they fell ill or lost their job, but the

:46:45. > :46:47.problem was it was mis-sold to millions of people who didn't need

:46:48. > :46:56.it or wanted and the compensation pay-outs have piled up ever since.

:46:57. > :46:59.Since January 2011, more than ?27 billion has already been paid back

:47:00. > :47:13.to people who have complained that they were mis-sold PPI.

:47:14. > :47:18.Santander, RBS and Barclays have set aside more than ?37 billion to pay

:47:19. > :47:23.back people affected, although that figure could still rise.

:47:24. > :47:29.From the 29th August 2019, in just over two years,

:47:30. > :47:31.people will no longer be able to make a claim.

:47:32. > :47:34.With so many still claiming, is the deadline fair?

:47:35. > :47:36.Let's talk to personal finance expert Hannah Maundrell.

:47:37. > :47:46.We have talked about this lost -- lots before. Never-ending. Is it

:47:47. > :47:51.fair that there is a deadline with so many people claiming? What the

:47:52. > :47:54.financial regulator wants to do with the deadline is give banks some

:47:55. > :47:58.reprieve after year after year putting massive amounts aside to

:47:59. > :48:02.repay people, and it is hoping by then most people will have had the

:48:03. > :48:05.opportunity to reclaim. It will be doing a massive awareness campaign

:48:06. > :48:09.to try to encourage people to go to their lender to find out if they

:48:10. > :48:12.were mis-sold PPI had actually something has changed again so that

:48:13. > :48:16.even more people will now be eligible to be considered as

:48:17. > :48:21.mis-sold. So if you haven't ever checked, whether you even had PPI,

:48:22. > :48:25.it is definitely worth checking because there is quite a good chance

:48:26. > :48:30.you may have been mis-sold it. But a reprieve for the banks is how they

:48:31. > :48:33.will look at it a little bit, but if there are so many people still to

:48:34. > :48:37.claim, 9008 weeks up until that date, does that mean some people

:48:38. > :48:46.might miss out because there is a deadline? -- 9000 a week. Yes, some

:48:47. > :48:50.people could lose out and it isn't right to put that deadline there. If

:48:51. > :48:54.people were mis-sold they shouldn't have a limit on when they can get it

:48:55. > :48:58.back. Are some people claiming that probably won't mis-sold it in the

:48:59. > :49:02.first place? We get all of these calls saying we can help you make a

:49:03. > :49:07.claim. The fact of the matter is everybody should check. If people

:49:08. > :49:11.about a loan agreement or credit card agreement in the last 17 or 18

:49:12. > :49:14.years, you should check whether you had PPI and didn't know about it

:49:15. > :49:18.because many people simply won't aware that they had this insurance

:49:19. > :49:26.is added on, which could have added up to 15% - 30% of the premiums. Any

:49:27. > :49:30.claims are managed by people -- by companies, encouraging people to

:49:31. > :49:33.make claims, but because of the new ruling that people are entitled to

:49:34. > :49:40.compensation if the amount of commission their banked it was over

:49:41. > :49:44.50% of the premium, that means even people who had their PPI claim

:49:45. > :49:48.rejected might now have a case. If you think you've got a case what's

:49:49. > :49:51.the first thing you do? The first thing is to go to a claims

:49:52. > :49:55.management companies are might you can check yourself call. Go back to

:50:52. > :50:54.For 75 years, an underground network of railways used by Royal Mail ran

:50:55. > :50:57.under the streets of London, sorting the city's post.

:50:58. > :51:02.But in 2003 Mail Rail closed and the system was abandoned.

:51:03. > :51:05.This morning, Tim Muffett is following the six and a half

:51:17. > :51:27.actually big enough for people to travel in, if mail used to be in

:51:28. > :51:32.them? They are. Construction on these tunnels began 100 years ago

:51:33. > :51:38.and opened the Mail Rail 90 years ago. It transformed the way post was

:51:39. > :51:42.moved across the capital. It sped up the service. From September,

:51:43. > :51:47.passengers will be able to write in these tunnels again. It is all part

:51:48. > :51:51.of the new Postal Museum, most of which opens today in London. It

:51:52. > :51:53.explains the extraordinary story behind our postal service. I've been

:51:54. > :52:01.taking a look. Throughout its 500 year history, the

:52:02. > :52:07.Royal Mail's mission has remained pretty much unchanged. Now down the

:52:08. > :52:11.chute... To harness technology of the day, to deliver letters and

:52:12. > :52:16.parcels as quickly and accurately as possible. This new Postal museum

:52:17. > :52:23.shows how deliveries have evolved. By the early 20th century, the mail

:52:24. > :52:26.system in London faced two big problems. Heavy fog caused by smoke

:52:27. > :52:34.billowing from chimneys and heavy traffic. The answer lay below

:52:35. > :52:41.ground. In 1927, this underground rail network opened. On the post

:52:42. > :52:47.Office tube railway, over 20,000 bags travel through six and a half

:52:48. > :52:51.miles... For 75 years unmanned trains shuttled male between six and

:52:52. > :52:55.sorting offices and two railway stations, Liverpool Street and

:52:56. > :53:03.Paddington. A bit of a squeeze. I guess it was designed for letters,

:53:04. > :53:07.not people. The service was stopped in 2003 and passengers will soon be

:53:08. > :53:12.able to write specially adapted trains through the tunnels. It was a

:53:13. > :53:17.really important part of moving the mail and speeding up the process. It

:53:18. > :53:21.was essential to allowing that communication to happen quickly and

:53:22. > :53:25.to get that mail delivered as quickly as people needed it. Switch

:53:26. > :53:30.Caverns, keep everything under control, ringing trains to a stop on

:53:31. > :53:34.loading platforms. About 220 people were working on the railways in a

:53:35. > :53:37.shift pattern, it was a pretty four-hour operation and there was a

:53:38. > :53:43.huge team of people with different jobs and response abilities. In

:53:44. > :53:47.2003, the service stopped. The running costs were deemed too high,

:53:48. > :53:50.transporting mail above ground was considered more cost effective, even

:53:51. > :53:56.though some disagreed. This is one of the mail platforms, where the

:53:57. > :54:01.male would have been loaded into containers. The suddenness of the

:54:02. > :54:07.system's closure also surprised many. It almost looks like it was

:54:08. > :54:10.abandoned. It pretty much was. The equipment was left down here,

:54:11. > :54:16.newspapers and things like that still laying behind, trolleys, the

:54:17. > :54:24.train was still down here. Soon to become a quirky visitor attraction,

:54:25. > :54:27.for some the Mail Rail has been underappreciated. It is really the

:54:28. > :54:31.first social network, allowing people to stay in touch over

:54:32. > :54:34.distance and quickly and it was important, the speed was imported,

:54:35. > :54:37.and that's what this was about, speeding the system on.

:54:38. > :54:42.What an extraordinary story and we have special permission to walk on

:54:43. > :54:46.these tracks. That won't be available to members of the public.

:54:47. > :54:50.The Mail Rail system will open at the beginning of September. The rest

:54:51. > :54:53.of the Postal Museum opens today. You are from the Postal Museum. An

:54:54. > :54:59.extraordinary story. Most people have never seen this part of London.

:55:00. > :55:02.How does it feel to shortly be opening? It feels fantastic. After

:55:03. > :55:07.six years of working on this project, the trains are nearly ready

:55:08. > :55:11.to go. Rob Sitch -- from September people will be able to take the

:55:12. > :55:15.plunge down the tunnels and see themselves. I assumed that when you

:55:16. > :55:19.reopened there would be mice and rats. But that wasn't the case. Why

:55:20. > :55:23.not? White right. That's because there were no passengers on this

:55:24. > :55:29.railway, as it was always meant for post, and as a result there is no

:55:30. > :55:36.food and so there isn't that problem. What did this do for post?

:55:37. > :55:40.It revolutionised how it was carried, it made it so much easier

:55:41. > :55:43.for it to pass through London. It took 4 million letters a day through

:55:44. > :55:48.the system, under the streets, avoiding the congestion above at its

:55:49. > :55:52.heyday and it made such a difference. Thanks ever so much.

:55:53. > :55:56.Later we will talk to some people who worked on the system. An

:55:57. > :55:59.extraordinary story, these specially converted trains, soon to be open to

:08:59. > :09:02.as well. Let's show you the front page of the Financial Times. One of

:09:03. > :09:08.the questions people are casting, what is going on with the government

:09:09. > :09:11.position on Brexit? -- are asking. The Immigration Minister yesterday

:09:12. > :09:14.told us how it would shape up in terms of who would be allowed to

:09:15. > :09:18.stay and what would happen post-Brexit. Philip Hammond, who we

:09:19. > :09:23.will speak to in about half an hour, has apparently been speaking to

:09:24. > :09:26.business leaders outlining how he sees what they are calling this

:09:27. > :09:29.transition period and we will try to get to the bottom of what he is

:09:30. > :09:32.suggesting later on this morning. We'll find out later this morning

:09:33. > :09:35.exactly how many tower blocks the government's new fire safety

:09:36. > :09:38.test. Tests on the cladding and insulation

:09:39. > :09:41.have been carried out in the weeks since the Grenfell Tower disaster,

:09:42. > :09:44.a previous method of testing was criticised for

:09:45. > :09:46.being unrealistic. Meanwhile, the industry magazine

:09:47. > :09:48.Inside Housing has carried out its own research,

:09:49. > :09:50.suggesting hundreds of tower blocks Let's talk to Peter Apps

:09:51. > :10:04.from the magazine. Thank you very much for your time

:10:05. > :10:09.this morning. Would you like to go through the research you obtained or

:10:10. > :10:15.commission and tell us what you found? No problem. What we were

:10:16. > :10:20.looking into was the fire risk assessments that have been carried

:10:21. > :10:25.out on these tower blocks. We sent Freedom of Information request is to

:10:26. > :10:30.councils and we asked Housing associations to provide details as

:10:31. > :10:35.well and we ended up getting back risk assessments for 436 tower

:10:36. > :10:41.blocks up and down England. That allowed us to have a look at what

:10:42. > :10:46.sort of issues fire risk assessors were worried about and what sort of

:10:47. > :10:51.things they were telling councillors and housing associations weren't

:10:52. > :10:55.right with their buildings. That showed us there were quite a few

:10:56. > :11:03.issues that were raised and raised quite frequently, the most common

:11:04. > :11:08.being fire doors. In 61% of those 461 blocks there was some kind of an

:11:09. > :11:12.issue with fire doors ranging from there being a few leaseholders in

:11:13. > :11:15.the building who have replaced the door with something non- fire

:11:16. > :11:20.resistant to full-scale problems were communal fire doors aren't

:11:21. > :11:27.quite right and doors are damaged and broken. It showed that there is

:11:28. > :11:31.a large number of issues that councils and housing associations

:11:32. > :11:37.needed to deal with. Is it legal to replace a fire door with a non- fire

:11:38. > :11:41.protective door? The landlord of that building, the owner, has a

:11:42. > :11:45.responsibility under fire regulations to make sure the

:11:46. > :11:49.building is fire safe. If the fire doors aren't replaced and

:11:50. > :11:54.leaseholders have doors replaced with non- fire safe ones then we can

:11:55. > :11:59.take them to court and make them put a proper fire door back in. The

:12:00. > :12:02.reason I'm asking is police investigating the Grenfell Tower

:12:03. > :12:09.fire so they have reasonable grounds to suspect corporate manslaughter

:12:10. > :12:12.may have been committed, does that surprise you? I don't know enough

:12:13. > :12:17.about what the police have been looking at to say for certain

:12:18. > :12:28.whether this is anything to do with that. Certainly there are issues in

:12:29. > :12:31.lots of tower blocks, issues councils and housing associations

:12:32. > :12:36.have been having to deal with. I'm sure you're aware that the BBC has

:12:37. > :12:41.learned 60 buildings have failed a whole fire system test were, I'm

:12:42. > :12:49.sure you can explain better than I, involving a nine metre tall wall,

:12:50. > :12:55.which looked at how flammable the panels, insulation and cladding were

:12:56. > :13:01.altogether. Yeah. The BBC has got that info. The government's

:13:02. > :13:06.initially looked at these aluminium composite panels, which were found

:13:07. > :13:12.on Grenfell. Then after appointing an expert panel, they looked at what

:13:13. > :13:16.they called a whole system. Rather than just the insulation behind the

:13:17. > :13:21.panel and the way it's put together with the firebreaks and so on, they

:13:22. > :13:26.were testing to see if that whole system would resist the spread of

:13:27. > :13:30.flame. What's been reported and what's coming out from councils in

:13:31. > :13:35.the last few days is the first one of those tests, which is the system

:13:36. > :13:38.on Grenfell, has failed and despite all the firebreaks put into that

:13:39. > :13:45.building it clearly wasn't able to stop flames spreading quickly on the

:13:46. > :13:46.outside. Peter Apps, news editor at Inside Housing magazine, thanks for

:13:47. > :13:47.your time this morning. and insulation used in at least 60

:13:48. > :13:59.tower blocks in England has failed following the Grenfell Tower

:14:00. > :14:03.disaster. People who drink three to four times

:14:04. > :14:07.a week are less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those who never

:14:08. > :14:14.drink, Danish researchers suggest. Here's Sarah with a look

:14:15. > :14:27.at this morning's weather. Good morning. Well, quite a lot of

:14:28. > :14:31.cloud on the forecast today. Temperatures not doing well for the

:14:32. > :14:35.time of year. We are just about heading into August and it is

:14:36. > :14:39.feeling a little bit more autumnal, with the unsettled weather set to

:14:40. > :14:43.continue. There will be sunshine breaking through the cloud. This is

:14:44. > :14:48.how things are looking in Suffolk this morning. Some sunshine through

:14:49. > :14:51.the morning in central parts of the country, but equally scattered

:14:52. > :14:56.showers. Some of the rain today could be heavy and thundery. Low

:14:57. > :14:59.pressure is dominating things, sitting towards the north-west.

:15:00. > :15:05.Tightly spaced isobars means a blustery day. The breezy winds

:15:06. > :15:09.coming in from the south-west and importing showers into Northern

:15:10. > :15:13.Ireland and Scotland. A few showers in south-west England and Wales.

:15:14. > :15:18.Showery rain will become heavier as we head into the afternoon. Across

:15:19. > :15:22.Scotland and Northern Ireland day of sunny intervals and a few blustery

:15:23. > :15:26.and at times heavy showers. There could be the odd rumble of thunder.

:15:27. > :15:30.Sunny skies for a time in northern England this afternoon, but across

:15:31. > :15:33.Wales you can see the cloud and rain. Persistent rain pushing on

:15:34. > :15:38.here and across the south-west of England this afternoon. The breeze

:15:39. > :15:41.beginner. It should stay dry for much of the day in south-east

:15:42. > :15:46.England and east Anglia, although we have a lot of cloud. Overall a

:15:47. > :15:50.cloudy and breezy day. The winds begin later and through the second

:15:51. > :15:54.half of the afternoon there is a chance that we will see some of that

:15:55. > :15:57.were in arriving. This rain across Wales and the south-west of England

:15:58. > :16:02.pushes eastwards widely across the rest of England's overnight. It will

:16:03. > :16:07.be accompanied by blustery winds. Just about clearing the south-east

:16:08. > :16:10.coast by first in tomorrow morning. We continue to see showers feeding

:16:11. > :16:12.in the north-western parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland

:16:13. > :16:17.overnight. Low pressure still sticking around into the weekend.

:16:18. > :16:21.Sitting out towards the north-west again. Saturday we have the westerly

:16:22. > :16:25.breeze coming in. Saturday should be not a bad day across the bulk of the

:16:26. > :16:28.country. Certainly through the morning. Later in the afternoon we

:16:29. > :16:32.have rain heading across southern England, later in the east Anglia

:16:33. > :16:36.and we continue to see that theme of showers across Scotland and Northern

:16:37. > :16:42.Ireland. Temperatures around about 18- 22. You might average or a bit

:16:43. > :16:45.cooler than average. But feeling cooler with the breeze. Sunday will

:16:46. > :16:50.be a day of sunny spells and scattered showers, moving through on

:16:51. > :16:53.the breeze. Some of them heavy and potentially thundery, especially

:16:54. > :16:56.towards the north-west. Fewer showers south-east by the time we

:16:57. > :17:00.get to Sunday. To summarise the weekend of weather, it is pretty

:17:01. > :17:05.cool and breezy. A mix of some sunshine and some of those heavy

:17:06. > :17:07.showers. Thanks very much and speak to you

:17:08. > :17:12.later. We are going to now talk about some

:17:13. > :17:18.figures coming from the banks. Especially Barclays. Generally they

:17:19. > :17:24.are doing all right, but payment protection insurance, PPI, they've

:17:25. > :17:31.put aside for that 700 million, on top of what they put previously,

:17:32. > :17:37.?8.4 billion they already put aside. It has gone up by almost 10%. Yes.

:17:38. > :17:40.The reason it has gone up by more, and we heard the same from Lloyds

:17:41. > :17:44.yesterday, is because there a deadline for when people can claims

:17:45. > :17:47.for compensation, about being mis-sold insurance over the past few

:17:48. > :17:53.decades for top initially the deadline was thought to be due 2019

:17:54. > :17:58.at when the regulator came out and made the decision on it, they said

:17:59. > :18:03.August. Sofa the past couple of months banks have had to gone back

:18:04. > :18:07.-- go back to the calculator is and work out how much it will cost them.

:18:08. > :18:11.They have said how much they think people will claim. We've done the

:18:12. > :18:14.city is many times. When they say they've put this aside, these are

:18:15. > :18:20.staggering amounts of money. Does that mean they are paying out that

:18:21. > :18:24.amount of money or the money is sitting to one side waiting to be

:18:25. > :18:28.paid out? It sits there for a bit until it is paid out, but up until

:18:29. > :18:31.now the reason they keep making these provisions is because what

:18:32. > :18:35.they've said in the past isn't covering what they envisage will be

:18:36. > :18:41.the total amount by the end. And if that because it's becoming easier to

:18:42. > :18:45.track down whether or not you are owed PPI? A lot of the banks do

:18:46. > :18:50.wonder how many people are actually thinking they were mis-sold back on

:18:51. > :18:54.the day, but because of all the claims, a huge amount of these

:18:55. > :18:58.claims are people who got this cold calls or text and actually responded

:18:59. > :19:02.to them, allowing the business to have a look at when they are due

:19:03. > :19:08.compensation. But you had a guest earlier who said to get in touch

:19:09. > :19:14.with your lender? Yes. But a product you took out in 1992, a store card

:19:15. > :19:19.that you have, did it have PPI attached to it? That's not the

:19:20. > :19:22.easiest thing to find out. If it is more recent you would have more of a

:19:23. > :19:28.chance of finding out quickly. Thanks very much.

:19:29. > :19:33.Fracking could get under way within a week after the drill that is

:19:34. > :19:37.needed to stop the process arrived at a site in Lancashire yesterday.

:19:38. > :19:41.Protesters are continuing to try to delay the start of fracking and are

:19:42. > :19:47.holding a carnival by the site later. John Maguire is there. We can

:19:48. > :19:51.get a sense behind you. May be the scene. Protesters on top of some of

:19:52. > :19:57.the lorries. Yes, they are. They've been up there for three days, 24

:19:58. > :20:01.hours a day, three on lorries, wagons, that were bringing in

:20:02. > :20:08.supplies. We are about a quarter of a mile away from the entrance to the

:20:09. > :20:11.site. We used the word in the introduction "Controversial". It

:20:12. > :20:17.doesn't do fracking justice, word. It splits communities. For example,

:20:18. > :20:24.police are operating a contraflow, this is the Preston New Road going

:20:25. > :20:28.along. Two cars went past. One beat their corn and wave to support the

:20:29. > :20:35.campaign is on top of the trucks, the very next car shouted some

:20:36. > :20:40.abuse, so that gives you an idea of the division of opinions. This

:20:41. > :20:44.campaign has been here for about a month. There will be a big

:20:45. > :20:49.combination of the demonstrations today and over the next couple of

:20:50. > :20:55.days. Meanwhile, the work is still going on to try to make this the

:20:56. > :21:02.very much first commercially successful fracking site in the UK.

:21:03. > :21:04.While the party and protests continue outside the site,

:21:05. > :21:08.inside, behind the thin yellow line, preparations for the next major step

:21:09. > :21:15.Local campaigner Barbara Richardson has fought this fracking site,

:21:16. > :21:22.known as Preston New Road, every step of the way and believes

:21:23. > :21:26.if shale gas is extracted here then other sites will follow.

:21:27. > :21:29.Imagine these every two to four to five miles across this beautiful,

:21:30. > :21:32.rural place, known for agriculture and tourism.

:21:33. > :21:37.If you don't stop it now, you're opening the door,

:21:38. > :21:47.July has seen the local efforts here bolstered by protesters

:21:48. > :21:52.They've been trying to disrupt access, climbing on top of lorries,

:21:53. > :21:56.sitting in the road and locking themselves to vehicles.

:21:57. > :22:02.We're not targeting the lorry drivers, we understand they did

:22:03. > :22:06.a job and they need to feed their children and take some money.

:22:07. > :22:09.We're not obviously targeting them, but what they have on the back

:22:10. > :22:12.of their lorries is more equipment for them to get into the fracking

:22:13. > :22:15.site and create the fracking, so the more we delay it,

:22:16. > :22:23.the slower the task is going to be, the more it costs the company.

:22:24. > :22:29.But despite their efforts, the drilling rig that will bore

:22:30. > :22:32.as deep as 3,500 metres below the Lancashire soil has just

:22:33. > :22:35.They will then drill horizontally, fracture the shale rock

:22:36. > :22:39.And this site will be the most monitored gas exploration site ever,

:22:40. > :22:45.We are monitoring air-quality, water quality, noise,

:22:46. > :22:48.traffic movements, all of that being monitored 24-7

:22:49. > :22:51.and all of that made publicly available.

:22:52. > :22:54.Of course we also have the Environment Agency that have

:22:55. > :22:59.and we only started constructing in January,

:23:00. > :23:01.doing their own monitoring and disclosure.

:23:02. > :23:04.So I can say to people that you don't need to take my

:23:05. > :23:08.The data will be out there to demonstrate that this

:23:09. > :23:13.The process remains highly controversial, from the demand

:23:14. > :23:16.for shale gas to the technology of fracking, to the way these

:23:17. > :23:22.demonstrations are policed.

:23:23. > :23:27.Environmental catastrophe or energy game changer, the answer is locked

:23:28. > :23:33.deep within our feet, but not for much longer.

:23:34. > :23:42.I want to introduce you to somebody from Lancashire For Shale. You have

:23:43. > :23:51.done some work for Quadrilla in the past. Can you understand why there

:23:52. > :23:56.is such opposition to this industry? Acting partly that's due to the

:23:57. > :24:01.experiences in the early days of shale development -- I think partly.

:24:02. > :24:04.There have been mistakes made and I think the fear is those mistakes

:24:05. > :24:08.will be repeated here. I don't believe they will be. I spent 20

:24:09. > :24:14.years now managing environmental risk. I've seen nothing that suggest

:24:15. > :24:17.it can't be done safely or in a way that doesn't compromise the

:24:18. > :24:23.environment. Citing the fears are broadly unfounded, but I understand

:24:24. > :24:28.why people have them. So Lancashire county council voted against this,

:24:29. > :24:31.it makes you wonder why. I think it voted against the recommendations of

:24:32. > :24:35.planning experts and that's something you have to bear in mind.

:24:36. > :24:40.The people who actually understand the role of planning and the rules

:24:41. > :24:43.behind it and what we can and can't do in terms of safety development,

:24:44. > :24:47.they said we should go ahead. What we've also heard from one of the

:24:48. > :24:52.local campaigners here at is that they fear that if the shale reserves

:24:53. > :24:59.are as people think they might be, then this whole wonderful

:25:00. > :25:05.countryside could be littered with these mine heads. I don't think

:25:06. > :25:13.that's the case at all. If you look at North Yorkshire, it's already

:25:14. > :25:16.Britain's largest onshore gas field. Most people wouldn't even know they

:25:17. > :25:25.are there. They are well screened. The timeframe, Quadrilla hope this

:25:26. > :25:29.exploit region -- this drilling will produce gas and there will be

:25:30. > :25:33.commercial production in the early part of next year. What sort of

:25:34. > :25:37.difference do you think this will make to the industry, to the

:25:38. > :25:44.economy? So far just to get to this point Quadrilla has spent about ?1.5

:25:45. > :25:47.million in the economy. That's what we want to see. Jobs created,

:25:48. > :25:54.opportunities for local companies and we want to see that grow. I

:25:55. > :25:58.think that we get to the point, and people are seeing it for themselves

:25:59. > :26:03.and seen that drilling is very temporary and the disruption is

:26:04. > :26:06.temporary from a traffic perspective, I think people will

:26:07. > :26:11.start to feel more comfortable with it as a process. All right, thank

:26:12. > :26:15.you very much for joining us here this morning. As I say, the actual

:26:16. > :26:20.entrance is about a quarter of a mile further along the Preston New

:26:21. > :26:24.Road and demonstrations taking place will very much buildup. You can see

:26:25. > :26:28.there's a large police presence here. The Lancashire force has been

:26:29. > :26:31.supported by other neighbouring forces, although north Wales has

:35:20. > :35:25.it was in fact her stablemate Let's find out more from Radio 5

:35:26. > :35:46.Live commentator Derek Thompson Hello! You were there, how did it

:35:47. > :35:49.unfold and how did everyone react? It was incredible because I called

:35:50. > :35:53.the horse on and the redhot favourite finished second we had a

:35:54. > :35:57.50 to one stunner in the first race and when I came down to the

:35:58. > :36:02.commentary box a lady said a pound each way at 50 to one and all that

:36:03. > :36:05.sort of thing and the crowd was stunned and all that sort of stuff.

:36:06. > :36:08.What happened was the jockeys weighed in and after the race it was

:36:09. > :36:13.official, the bookies were paying out on the 50 to one winner, betting

:36:14. > :36:17.shops around the country and around the world, we go live on At the

:36:18. > :36:21.Races around the world, it's not just the 1:40pm at Great Yarmouth,

:36:22. > :36:25.it goes around the world and the stewards said we had better dope

:36:26. > :36:29.test the winner. That happens, they randomly pick two horses after each

:36:30. > :36:34.race, it later transpired that when the vet who did the dope test put

:36:35. > :36:43.the scanner on the horse's neck, each course has a microchip, he said

:36:44. > :36:48.this isn't Mandarin Princess, it is Millie's Kiss, due to run in the

:36:49. > :36:53.fourth race. We had a three-year-old running against two -year-olds,

:36:54. > :36:56.which are much stronger and probably quicker and much faster. That's the

:36:57. > :37:00.reason but it didn't come out for at least two hours. There were rumours

:37:01. > :37:04.going around saying we hear the wrong horse won the first race but

:37:05. > :37:08.nobody knew until about two hours later, by which time all the money

:37:09. > :37:11.had been paid out and now what are they going to do? The British

:37:12. > :37:15.horseracing authority are going to look at what happened. The trainer

:37:16. > :37:19.said I'm sorry I put the saddle on the wrong horse. A good trainer at

:37:20. > :37:24.Newmarket, he had two horses there, when they got into the stables they

:37:25. > :37:28.have passports like you and I going on a plane and they have the

:37:29. > :37:31.microchips so they knew the two horses but they must have brought

:37:32. > :37:35.out the wrong horse, put the saddle on the wrong horse and the wrong

:37:36. > :37:40.horse won at 50 to one. May be there needs to be changes, a second scan

:37:41. > :37:44.above for each race. Wouldn't the jockeys notice a different horse?

:37:45. > :37:51.They ride so many and some look the same. They ride so many. The jockey

:37:52. > :37:55.that rode the horse, he is 49, one of our top senior jockeys, he never

:37:56. > :37:59.rode the horse before the track so he wouldn't know, they ride six or

:38:00. > :38:04.seven races a day and sometimes more so something needs to be done. I

:38:05. > :38:08.hope it's a 1-off, it's like a Dick Francis novel, all the skulduggery

:38:09. > :38:11.and betting coups, it was nothing like that but it shouldn't happen

:38:12. > :38:15.again. Tomorrow we have the King George at Ascot, one of the biggest

:38:16. > :38:20.races in the world and then glorious Goodwood next week. We don't want

:38:21. > :38:24.this again. When we get on planes we have to show our passport and our

:38:25. > :38:29.boarding pass, something like that must now happen in British racing.

:38:30. > :38:34.We will have to leave it there but Derek Thompson, fascinating, 5 Live

:38:35. > :38:39.commentator getting to the bottom of it. Racing commentators always tell

:38:40. > :38:44.a great tale! Just like a Dick Francis novel! Brilliant! I hope you

:38:45. > :38:45.know how it happened and it's all fully explained! Thanks, Mike!

:38:46. > :38:49.More than a year after the UK voted to leave the European Union

:38:50. > :38:52.and after two rounds of talks in Brussels there's still plenty

:38:53. > :38:53.of uncertainty around the Brexit process.

:38:54. > :38:56.One of the most important figures in all this

:38:57. > :39:04.and he joins us from Westminster now.

:39:05. > :39:11.Thank you very much for your time this morning, Chancellor. We'll get

:39:12. > :39:15.to Brexit in a second but our lead story this morning you're probably

:39:16. > :39:21.aware of is in connection with Grenfell Tower and the BBC

:39:22. > :39:26.understands up to 60 tower blocks have failed new tests around safety

:39:27. > :39:31.and local authorities are saying they need tens of millions of powers

:39:32. > :39:35.for the money. Will you be prepared to pay directly for any work that

:39:36. > :39:40.needs doing to do with those safety concerns? Landlords of these

:39:41. > :39:44.buildings are in most cases either local authorities or housing

:39:45. > :39:49.associations, many of them have reserves. What we have said is that

:39:50. > :39:55.we will insure that any works that need doing it carried out, there

:39:56. > :40:00.should be and will be no case where a lack of funding prevents safety

:40:01. > :40:03.works from being carried out. Where landlords have reserves themselves

:40:04. > :40:08.to carry out that work, that's the way they should do it. If there are

:40:09. > :40:12.local authority landlords out there or housing associations that really

:40:13. > :40:16.do not have access to the funding then we will insure arrangements are

:40:17. > :40:21.put in place to allow them access to the funding to do the necessary

:40:22. > :40:26.work. The simple answer is yes the government will directly pay for the

:40:27. > :40:30.work that needs doing? What I said is there won't be any work that

:40:31. > :40:34.needs doing that doesn't get done because of lack of funding. All

:40:35. > :40:37.these landlords borrow, they have access to borrowing capacity and in

:40:38. > :40:41.the case of local authorities directly from the government, in the

:40:42. > :40:45.case of housing associations they mostly borrowed from the

:40:46. > :40:51.marketplace. We Can Podemos place arrangements to ensure that they

:40:52. > :40:59.have access to borrowing capacity in order to do any immediately

:41:00. > :41:05.necessary works -- borrow -- We Can Podemos place. There was a meeting

:41:06. > :41:10.you reportedly had with business leaders, you can tell us if this is

:41:11. > :41:13.the case, a phrase called standstill transition in relation to Brexit.

:41:14. > :41:20.Did you use that phrase and what does that mean? I conduct meetings

:41:21. > :41:23.all the time of roundtable meetings, with business leaders from different

:41:24. > :41:29.sectors to talk about the Brexit process and other aspects of the

:41:30. > :41:34.economy. It's very important that people in those meetings can speak

:41:35. > :41:38.freely. We have generally free-flowing discussions around the

:41:39. > :41:41.table where I am able to get their ideas about how the government

:41:42. > :41:47.should conduct the processes and they can hear our evolving thoughts

:41:48. > :41:52.about the way things are going. But it's very important those meetings

:41:53. > :41:58.are private meetings so we can exchange views freely. My view on

:41:59. > :42:03.transition is well-known. I believe it would be in Britain's interest

:42:04. > :42:07.and in the EU's interest if after we leave the European Union, the single

:42:08. > :42:13.market and the customs union on the 29th of March 2019, there is then a

:42:14. > :42:18.period, call it transition, interim period, whatever you like, during

:42:19. > :42:22.which we will allow our economies to adjust to the new situation rather

:42:23. > :42:27.than having a cliff edge in March, 2019, which would cause immense

:42:28. > :42:31.disruption for businesses and citizens. Did you use the phrase

:42:32. > :42:37.standstill transition? I'm trying to be clear on this one. I don't keep a

:42:38. > :42:40.minute of these meetings so I don't know, they are generally

:42:41. > :42:43.free-flowing discussions around the table and people come up with

:42:44. > :42:48.different thoughts and different ideas. These aren't statements of

:42:49. > :42:51.government policy, they are discussions flowing around the table

:42:52. > :42:56.when we exchange views. That's the way I'd like to carry on conducting

:42:57. > :43:01.business. We've heard from business that they have been concerned in the

:43:02. > :43:04.past about lack of access to government, lack of discussion with

:43:05. > :43:09.government. We've gone to great lengths to ensure that business does

:43:10. > :43:12.have access to government, that we do have a free-flowing discussion

:43:13. > :43:18.with them but obviously we can only do that if people are able to speak

:43:19. > :43:22.freely within a private meeting to exchange ideas. I tell you what

:43:23. > :43:29.strikes me and made... What strikes me and might strike other people is

:43:30. > :43:32.why should these things be secret? This is everyone's future, why

:43:33. > :43:36.should you say one thing in a meeting and a different thing to

:43:37. > :43:41.ask? Hang on, I'm not saying one thing... Can I finish my question.

:43:42. > :43:46.Let me finish the answer. On the issue of what you said and what you

:43:47. > :43:50.save should remain secret, how long is the transition period you're

:43:51. > :43:53.talking about? What we're hearing from different government ministers

:43:54. > :43:58.appears to be very contradictory. On the one hand we're hearing from

:43:59. > :44:02.Brandon Lewis, who we spoke to yesterday on the programme, saying

:44:03. > :44:10.free movement of labour ends when we leave the, Spring, 2019. You seem to

:44:11. > :44:13.be saying if a transitional standstill arrangement happens than

:44:14. > :44:19.that means everything stays the same -- leave the U. I haven't said

:44:20. > :44:22.anything secret and I don't think this is remotely controversial.

:44:23. > :44:25.Government needs to have the ability to discuss with business leaders

:44:26. > :44:30.from different sectors in a free-flowing way. Their ideas and

:44:31. > :44:35.our thoughts about the way we might take things forward need to be

:44:36. > :44:39.discussed. That is helpful and constructive but it won't be if

:44:40. > :44:44.everything everyone says is reported in public. How long is the

:44:45. > :44:47.transition period you would like? You are asking me a question I have

:44:48. > :44:52.answered many times before, we don't have a fixed idea about the length

:44:53. > :44:56.of that but we know it will need to be for a fixed period but whether

:44:57. > :45:00.that time needs to be a year, two years, three years, that will be

:45:01. > :45:05.determined by the facts, that will be determined by questions like how

:45:06. > :45:09.long it will take us to put in place changes at our customs border as we

:45:10. > :45:14.processed goods coming into the UK. How long it will take us to put in

:45:15. > :45:18.place changes at the border in Heathrow for example where we

:45:19. > :45:25.processed people. These are matters of fact about the way we work -- we

:45:26. > :45:28.process. They're not political decisions, they are practical,

:45:29. > :45:31.pragmatic decisions and it's for pragmatic reasons that we

:45:32. > :45:37.increasingly think a transition period will be the right way forward

:45:38. > :45:44.both for the UK economy and for our neighbours in the European Union.

:45:45. > :45:48.There's no attempt to keep anything secret, it is simply free-flowing

:45:49. > :45:52.discussion. We need to understand the challenges that business faces

:45:53. > :45:57.as it transitions from EU membership, Customs union membership

:45:58. > :46:01.a single market membership, to what happens after March 20 19. You

:46:02. > :46:06.understand the challenges from government point of view, around

:46:07. > :46:11.border and customs control, but we also need to understand the

:46:12. > :46:15.challenges from business's point of view. For someone who voted in

:46:16. > :46:19.favour of leaving the EU is listening to you now and they

:46:20. > :46:24.remember the phrase Brexit means Brexit, and then you say it could be

:46:25. > :46:27.two, three, we don't know how long it will remain the same, they might

:46:28. > :46:31.think you are talking about something completely different from

:46:32. > :46:35.what was initially suggested and apparently this government

:46:36. > :46:39.supported. Let me say very simply that we will leave the European

:46:40. > :46:47.Union. We believe the customs union and we will leave the single market

:46:48. > :46:51.on the 25 of March, 2019. Period. The question of what we do after the

:46:52. > :46:57.protect the British economy, protect British jobs and businesses, is this

:46:58. > :47:01.government's day job. That's what we are working on and that's what we

:47:02. > :47:04.have to map out in a way that works for business, that will keep the

:47:05. > :47:08.board is operating smoothly, that will allow people to get on

:47:09. > :47:11.aeroplanes and travel around in the normal way. Nobody in this country

:47:12. > :47:17.wants to see a cliff edge of disruption on the 29th of March,

:47:18. > :47:21.2019. So we will leave the European Union, but we will do it in a

:47:22. > :47:25.sensible and pragmatic way that allows us to get on with our lives

:47:26. > :47:29.and I think that is what the vast majority of people in this country

:47:30. > :47:32.will want us to do. Chancellor Philip Hammond, they give very much

:47:33. > :47:35.for your time this morning. Here's Sarah with a look

:47:36. > :47:44.at this morning's weather. A mixed picture had?

:47:45. > :47:48.-- ahead. That's right. Our changeable summer holiday weather

:47:49. > :47:53.continues. Unsettled weather, but for some of us there sunshine

:47:54. > :47:57.around. This is the view in Worcestershire taken recently.

:47:58. > :48:02.Patchy cloud around, winning showers through the day. So a mix of sunny

:48:03. > :48:07.spells this morning, but plenty of blustery showers as well. Low

:48:08. > :48:10.pressure dominates the weather and is sitting towards the north-west at

:48:11. > :48:14.the moment. Quite tightly spaced isobars, meaning we will have quite

:48:15. > :48:18.a blustery day, especially in north-western areas. Windy, with

:48:19. > :48:22.scattered showers. A few showers across northern England and into

:48:23. > :48:27.Wales and some of England. Some sunshine to be seen through central

:48:28. > :48:31.parts and in the northern England as we move into the afternoon. At 4pm

:48:32. > :48:34.we still have plenty of showers across Scotland and Northern

:48:35. > :48:39.Ireland. It could be the odd rumble of thunder and then a drier slot of

:48:40. > :48:42.weather across parts of northern England. Cloud increasingly

:48:43. > :48:46.developing across Wales, bringing outbreaks of rain through the

:48:47. > :48:49.afternoon. Some of the rain pushing across the south-west of England

:48:50. > :48:53.this afternoon. The south-east of England and east Anglia, fairly

:48:54. > :49:00.cloudy and mostly dry. If you are heading to the cricket, it will be a

:49:01. > :49:03.cloudy day and the wind will pick up later. Through the middle part of

:49:04. > :49:07.the afternoon there's a chance we could have wet weather move again.

:49:08. > :49:09.That rain across Wales and the south-west of England initially

:49:10. > :49:13.through the afternoon moves northwards and eastwards through

:49:14. > :49:17.much of England and Wales, clearing to the south-east overnight. So

:49:18. > :49:21.clear skies for many parts of the country into the early hours the

:49:22. > :49:26.morning, but we continue to see showers in the far north-west. 12-

:49:27. > :49:29.50 degrees. Those are the overnight lows. -- 15. Low pressure sticks

:49:30. > :49:34.around tomorrow in the northern half. More showers. This weather

:49:35. > :49:37.front in the south looks like it should be sitting in the English

:49:38. > :49:42.Channel through Saturday morning. So wet weather for the Channel Isles.

:49:43. > :49:45.Through the day it will drift further northwards. Some rain across

:49:46. > :49:50.southern England and in the east Anglia through the afternoon, but

:49:51. > :49:53.not a bad day further north. Some sunshine here and still some

:49:54. > :49:59.blustery and scattered showers. David Northern Ireland. 22 degrees

:50:00. > :50:02.or so on Saturday. On Sunday, sunny spells again, and plenty more

:50:03. > :50:08.blustery and possibly thunder we showers. Temperatures around 16- 21

:50:09. > :50:13.degrees, to feeling cool. Saturday staying dry for quite a good part of

:50:14. > :50:17.the day. So cool and breezy through the weekend. A mixture of some sunny

:50:18. > :50:21.and dry weather and also plenty of blustery showers.

:50:22. > :50:21.It's like all seasons throughout the weekend!

:50:22. > :50:26.Thank you. In the last hour, the company that

:50:27. > :50:36.owns British Airways has revealed It has been a rough summer for

:50:37. > :50:40.British Airways, but profits are still up on last year. Good morning.

:50:41. > :50:44.It's not been a few easy months for British Airways.

:50:45. > :50:47.You'll probably remember the chaos at Heathrow back in May,

:50:48. > :50:49.when thousands of people were stranded because of a big

:50:50. > :50:54.They've also had several walkouts from cabin crew staff over pay.

:50:55. > :51:01.But this morning, the company that owns BA,

:51:02. > :51:05.IAG, reported it's made a profit of about ?900 million in the first

:51:06. > :51:08.Most of that is from British airways.

:51:09. > :51:10.Let's speak to their chief executive now, Willie Walsh.

:51:11. > :51:18.Good morning. What went wrong in May? Well, we disclosed that

:51:19. > :51:24.previously. This was a problem caused by the disconnection of power

:51:25. > :51:27.at the datacentre and there be unauthorised and incorrect

:51:28. > :51:32.reapplication of the power, which caused a power surge and damaged the

:51:33. > :51:36.physical infrastructure in the datacentre. So we have addressed the

:51:37. > :51:40.issue and clearly apologised to all of our customers who were disrupted

:51:41. > :51:43.as a result of that, but I think the results we've released today show

:51:44. > :51:46.that the underlying performance of the airline is excellent and

:51:47. > :51:51.passenger numbers continue to grow well in excess of the capacity that

:51:52. > :51:54.we are adding to our business. Have you now managed to compensate all of

:51:55. > :51:58.those passengers who struggled in May? Because there have been a lot

:51:59. > :52:02.of reports that people still haven't seen anything from British airways.

:52:03. > :52:06.We are dealing with the compensation as the claims come in. We are

:52:07. > :52:11.processing them as quickly as we can. I think we've done a good job

:52:12. > :52:14.in doing this. Some individual customers may have experienced

:52:15. > :52:18.issues and may relate to the complexity of their claim or the

:52:19. > :52:21.need for us to clarify some issues. At the vast majority of customers'

:52:22. > :52:30.claims have been processed and processed colour -- correctly. When

:52:31. > :52:34.you look back at British Airways, 11 years ago it was voted the number

:52:35. > :52:39.one airline in the world, around the time you join. More recently it was

:52:40. > :52:47.number 40. Are you happy with the change in British Airways over the

:52:48. > :52:50.years? I am. I am very pleased. I think it shows its competitive

:52:51. > :52:55.performance. I joined 13 years ago and we've made a lot of changes in

:52:56. > :52:59.them. We've moved on to IAG six years ago and the group has grown

:53:00. > :53:02.significantly and it is one of the strongest groups. But the

:53:03. > :53:08.reputation... Our customer numbers continue to grow. But you've gone

:53:09. > :53:13.from being voted number one to number 40. Our reputation clearly

:53:14. > :53:17.has taken a hit because of some individual issues. We've also seen

:53:18. > :53:21.strong competition. We are looking at the future and there are issues

:53:22. > :53:26.we need to address and some of these I think have been handled well and

:53:27. > :53:29.some of them we could have handled better. We will get better going

:53:30. > :53:32.forward and I think the measure of the success of any company is how it

:53:33. > :53:35.can sustain an increasing competition and the challenges of

:53:36. > :53:40.career long period, not measured over one year. Five years from now I

:53:41. > :53:45.would expect British Airways to be in the top ten of airlines worldwide

:53:46. > :53:49.and I expect that because of... It is always a challenge being number

:53:50. > :53:52.one when some of our competitors don't have financial constraints and

:53:53. > :53:57.don't need to demonstrate a bottom-line profit, because they are

:53:58. > :54:01.supported in a different way. I've got no problem with that. But we are

:54:02. > :54:07.good airline that does respond well to changing environments and ten

:54:08. > :54:12.years from now... Who knows? It is a long way away. I think we can be

:54:13. > :54:17.confident based on a performance that we will be one of the leading

:54:18. > :54:21.airlines. Before you go, Iberia as well, why was it until recently you

:54:22. > :54:27.required female job candidates to take a pregnancy test? That was done

:54:28. > :54:31.by a company that acted on behalf of Iberia and it has been stopped. To

:54:32. > :54:34.be honest I don't think the management was aware that was

:54:35. > :54:37.happening and as soon as they found out it was a stopped it. It wasn't

:54:38. > :54:42.something that was used to discriminate against people being

:54:43. > :54:45.employed. What was it used for? It was actually done because of health

:54:46. > :54:50.and safety requirements, because of the training and the fact that cabin

:54:51. > :54:55.crew can't fly when they are pregnant. We did recruit a number of

:54:56. > :54:59.people, despite the fact that they showed they were pregnant, they were

:55:00. > :55:03.still recruited. Practice has been stopped. It isn't something that was

:55:04. > :55:07.consciously done by the management at Iberia and as soon as they found

:55:08. > :55:12.out about it they stopped it. Thank you very much. That was the chief

:55:13. > :55:17.executive of IAG that owns British Airways and Iberia. It has been a

:55:18. > :55:20.rough ten years when you look at the reputation of change, but he seems

:55:21. > :55:23.happy with it. He is optimistic that the company

:55:24. > :55:32.will get out into the top ten in five years. It would be good if we

:55:33. > :55:36.can talk to him then. There is something exciting about a

:55:37. > :55:42.disused railway track. Combine that with it being underground.

:55:43. > :55:46.And then paid one red and one green. The perfect picture. Tim Muffett can

:55:47. > :55:50.explain all. Good morning. I am deep below London

:55:51. > :55:55.this morning in tunnels which were first constructed 100 years ago and

:55:56. > :56:00.you will see this mysterious train next to me as well. These were used

:56:01. > :56:05.to transport mail underneath the capital. It transformed the way post

:56:06. > :56:10.was moved around the country and sorted as well. It is a fascinating

:56:11. > :56:14.part of our history. These are about to be reopened to the public in

:56:15. > :56:20.September, as part of the Postal Museum. The rest of it is opening

:56:21. > :56:25.today. Ray used to work on Mail Rail. What was it like to work on?

:56:26. > :56:30.It was a very busy place. Noisy, a train coming in every six minutes

:56:31. > :56:35.and it was a key part of the rail network. What impact did it have? It

:56:36. > :56:40.was very important. It carries mail from the east to the west of London,

:56:41. > :56:45.it connected the districts in central London to two of the rail

:56:46. > :56:49.hubs. It was abandoned in 2003 and is about to be reopened as a visitor

:56:50. > :56:54.attraction. How does that feel? It feels good. It would have been a

:56:55. > :56:58.change if it just passed into history and had been forgotten, but

:56:59. > :57:02.now it will take on a whole new lease of life as an educational

:57:03. > :57:05.public attraction. It is a part of London which few people have seen.

:57:06. > :57:12.We will talk a little bit later and have a bit more of a tour around

:57:13. > :57:14.this incredible network, 6.5 miles below London and most people have

:57:15. > :00:35.not been aware of it. Hello, this is Breakfast with

:00:36. > :00:43.Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty. Increased safety concerns

:00:44. > :00:46.following the Grenfell Tower fire. Dozens of tower blocks fail a new,

:00:47. > :00:48.more thorough fire safety test. The BBC understands at least

:00:49. > :00:51.60 buildings will be Councils warn that the cost

:00:52. > :00:57.of making them safe will run Good morning.

:00:58. > :01:24.It's Friday 28th July. The Chancellor tells us there could

:01:25. > :01:28.be a transition period of up to three years after Brexit. It will

:01:29. > :01:33.need to be for a fixed period of time. But whether that time needs to

:01:34. > :01:34.be a year, two years, three years, that will be determined by the

:01:35. > :02:01.facts. There have been protests against the

:02:02. > :02:11.fracking there, we will be back with him shortly.

:02:12. > :02:12.In sport, England's women ease into the quarter-finals

:02:13. > :02:14.of the European Championship with victory over Portugal

:02:15. > :02:24.but for Scotland it's a case of so near, yet so far.

:02:25. > :02:36.There are calls for more micro chipping testing at race courses as

:02:37. > :02:40.a winner turns out to be the wrong horse. An investigation is under

:02:41. > :02:43.way. This will be reopening to the public, it's all about mail rail, we

:02:44. > :02:48.will be explaining later. Above ground, Sarah will keep us up

:02:49. > :02:53.to date with the weather. Good morning. Expect everything

:02:54. > :02:56.thrown in today, some heavy showers, breezy conditions and equally

:02:57. > :03:01.sunshine too. I will bring you all the details in about 15 minutes.

:03:02. > :03:05.BBC News understands that at least 60 high-rise buildings,

:03:06. > :03:07.which used insulation and cladding similar to Grenfell Tower,

:03:08. > :03:13.The test is seen as more thorough than previous ones,

:03:14. > :03:16.as more materials were analysed together for the first time.

:03:17. > :03:18.So far, just nine of the buildings which failed have been identified.

:03:19. > :03:22.They're in Salford in Greater Manchester -

:03:23. > :03:25.where the local council is asking for help from central government

:03:26. > :03:29.Ministers will publish the full test findings later this morning.

:03:30. > :03:31.It comes as police say they may pursue corporate

:03:32. > :03:41.While those touched by Grenfell wait for a full picture

:03:42. > :03:43.of how this fire spread, other residents in other

:03:44. > :03:46.towers are nervous, wondering if they're safe.

:03:47. > :03:49.These blocks in Salford, nine of them, are among the 60

:03:50. > :03:51.across England we understand will be declared a risk after

:03:52. > :04:00.The thought of you not being safe when you're sleeping

:04:01. > :04:01.in bed of a night-time, thinking that that's

:04:02. > :04:09.I don't care how much money it cost - it's not money,

:04:10. > :04:11.it's people's lives at the end of the day.

:04:12. > :04:15.I think we're sitting on a tinderbox when you look at all the flats.

:04:16. > :04:16.Some of the cladding had already come down.

:04:17. > :04:23.In the first round of tests, panels from every building failed.

:04:24. > :04:26.After criticism that wasn't realistic, experts have now combined

:04:27. > :04:28.cladding and the installation fitted behind it to show which materials

:04:29. > :04:31.are dangerous when they're put together, like they were on Grenfell

:04:32. > :04:38.Yesterday, the police said there were reasonable grounds

:04:39. > :04:40.to suspect corporate manslaughter may have been committed

:04:41. > :04:48.by the council or the tenant management organisation.

:04:49. > :04:50.More than six weeks since Grenfell burned, the investigation

:04:51. > :04:52.is finding its focus while the reverberations reach

:04:53. > :05:12.We are going to be speaking to one of the survivors from Grenfell Tower

:05:13. > :05:18.and also Marcus Mumford from the band, they're putting together a

:05:19. > :05:32.football match. The Chancellor has admitted there

:05:33. > :05:36.could be a long transition period after Brexit and before the UK

:05:37. > :05:39.formally cuts all ties with the EU. Our correspondent is in Westminster.

:05:40. > :05:44.It seemed Philip Hammond was frustrated with not only having to

:05:45. > :05:47.be pinned down on exact time frames and methods of process through

:05:48. > :05:53.Brexit, but also through the fact that this appears to be little

:05:54. > :05:56.clarity, is that fair? I think it is fair in a sense that the Government

:05:57. > :06:00.is still evolving its position, if you like. It knows Britain is

:06:01. > :06:03.leaving the European Union in March 2019 t can't do anything else

:06:04. > :06:06.because it has triggered Article 50 and that's what it says, the

:06:07. > :06:11.question is what happens immediately afterwards and what the Chancellor

:06:12. > :06:16.is keen to avoid is what he calls a disastrous cliff-edge for business

:06:17. > :06:19.where they immediately go into new rules and regulations. What he

:06:20. > :06:23.believes he has got from colleagues is a commitment to a transitional

:06:24. > :06:27.period, in which new arrangements are phased in. Where there seems to

:06:28. > :06:30.be disagreement in Cabinet is exactly how long that would last.

:06:31. > :06:35.Those who voted Leave would rather it lasted a short amount of time,

:06:36. > :06:41.such as two years. Others might want to see it lasting longer. Certainly

:06:42. > :06:45.there is pressure on him to say clearly that any transitional

:06:46. > :06:48.period, if you like, half-in, half-out, still some of the

:06:49. > :06:51.arrangements in the European Union would be over by the next general

:06:52. > :06:56.election, but speaking on this programme he wouldn't commit to

:06:57. > :06:59.that. He said it should be driven by pragmatic decisions. We don't have a

:07:00. > :07:04.fixed idea about how long that should be. What we do know is it

:07:05. > :07:09.will need to be for a fixed period of time. Whether that time needs to

:07:10. > :07:13.be a year, two years, three years, that will be determined by the

:07:14. > :07:18.facts. That will be determined by questions like how long is will take

:07:19. > :07:23.us to put in place changes at our customs border as we process goods

:07:24. > :07:31.coming into the UK, how long it will take us to put in place changes at

:07:32. > :07:37.the border in hereto Rowe, for example, where we pose, people --

:07:38. > :07:41.Heathrow. He didn't commit to getting that transitional phase over

:07:42. > :07:45.by the next general election, but also I think what is very

:07:46. > :07:48.interesting as well from the Chancellor is stressing the

:07:49. > :07:52.practical difficulties that are going to be facing Britain

:07:53. > :07:56.post-Brexit in March 2019. Although we technic cline leave the European

:07:57. > :08:02.Union in 2019, a lot of the arrangements may look very, very

:08:03. > :08:04.similar to what we have now in terms of migration, business, single

:08:05. > :08:10.market access and may not look very different to what we are seeing now.

:08:11. > :08:12.Maybe half-in, half-out for a few years beyond 2019. Thank you very

:08:13. > :08:16.much. In the last hour, Barclays bank has

:08:17. > :08:19.announced it's set aside an extra ?700 million to cover payouts

:08:20. > :08:21.for mis-sold PPI. It brings the total amount set aside

:08:22. > :08:29.by Barclays to over ?9 billion. PPI policies were mis-sold to cover

:08:37. > :08:38.an embarrassing defeat on one of his key campaign pledges,

:08:39. > :08:53.which was to reform US healthcare. Our correspondent joins us from Los

:08:54. > :08:58.Angeles. This is such a mantra for Donald Trump in the election

:08:59. > :09:04.campaign and subsequently to get rid of this policy. Yeah, this is a huge

:09:05. > :09:09.defeat for Donald Trump. He talked about it a lot at all of those

:09:10. > :09:14.campaign rallies that he held during his election campaign that he would

:09:15. > :09:17.overturn what had become known as Obamacare and replace it with

:09:18. > :09:22.something, just in the last few hours, before the vote in Senate, he

:09:23. > :09:25.was urging republicans to give America great healthcare again.

:09:26. > :09:29.Well, that hasn't happened. It's a defeat for Donald Trump. It's the

:09:30. > :09:34.defeat for the republicans in the Senate. They had produced a bill,

:09:35. > :09:40.they called it a skinny bill, because it was a peared down

:09:41. > :09:43.version, taking out controversial elements they had previously

:09:44. > :09:50.proposed. But it wasn't at the end of the day accepted. Donald Trump

:09:51. > :09:59.has been tweeting about it just within the last hour. He said they

:10:00. > :10:01.let the American people down, let Obamacare implode, then deal. Watch.

:10:02. > :10:06.Thank you very much. People who drink alcohol three

:10:07. > :10:12.to four times a week are 30% less likely to develop type 2 diabetes

:10:13. > :10:14.than those who never touch it. Researchers in Denmark

:10:15. > :10:16.studied the drinking habits But the UK's leading diabetes

:10:17. > :10:31.charity says this isn't a green There is so many other associations

:10:32. > :10:34.with high intake of alcohol. For example, it will increase your blood

:10:35. > :10:39.pressure and your blood pressure in turn is also a risk factor for

:10:40. > :10:43.developing type two diabetes. It's interesting to see what is coming

:10:44. > :10:45.up. I can't envisage alcohol ever having a fantastic role in reducing

:10:46. > :10:50.risk of type two diabetes. Defence cuts have left the UK

:10:51. > :10:52.reliant on other countries to protect British waters,

:10:53. > :10:54.according to Labour. Figures obtained by the party,

:10:55. > :10:57.show NATO allies sent nearly 40 planes to the UK last year to help

:10:58. > :10:59.with maritime patrols. The Ministry of Defence says most

:11:00. > :11:26.of the aircraft were for training The fires have largely been put out.

:11:27. > :11:27.Firefighters have warned people to be vigilant as other blazes could

:11:39. > :11:41.when it comes to what sauce New research claims that people

:11:42. > :11:44.in North-West England, Scotland and Northern Ireland,

:11:45. > :11:46.are more than twice as likely to have brown

:11:47. > :12:00.sauce in their kitchens Do you have brown sauce in your

:12:01. > :12:06.kitchen, Charlie? No, I suspect that's what we thought was the case,

:12:07. > :12:09.brown sauce was more prevalent. Three quarters of us apparently

:12:10. > :12:13.can't eat a meal without a bit of sauce on the side,

:12:14. > :12:16.and half of us have even had to make a dash to the shops to buy some

:12:17. > :12:24.sauce before sitting down to eat. What about both on the same plate?

:12:25. > :12:33.Makes me feel slightly uncomfortable. If there is tabasco

:12:34. > :12:35.that's OK. Not sure. Sarah will have the weather in a few

:12:55. > :12:56.of drilling into shale rock to extract gas,

:12:57. > :12:59.could get underway within weeks - after the drill needed to start

:13:00. > :13:07.the process arrived at a site Our reporter is there. We were

:13:08. > :13:11.saying earlier in the last hour it's an incredibly divisive issue this, I

:13:12. > :13:16.described before we came on air last time all these cars as they're

:13:17. > :13:19.coming past, one car beeped their support and waved at the protesters

:13:20. > :13:23.on top of the lorries and they've been up there for three days so far.

:13:24. > :13:29.The next car shouted abuse at them. That's what many of the local people

:13:30. > :13:33.think. Some of this campaign is very much spearheaded by local people.

:13:34. > :13:37.Over the last month another group has come in, reclaimed power to

:13:38. > :13:40.bolster the campaign, if you like and to intensify it. It's really

:13:41. > :13:44.going to reach a peak over the next couple of days. Meanwhile, the work

:13:45. > :13:50.has been progressing at the site which is around a quarter of a mile

:13:51. > :13:56.further down the road there. This is the furtherest the UK has gone yet

:13:57. > :14:05.really in exploiting shale gas, fracking it from the earth,

:14:06. > :14:09.thousands of feet below. The party and protests continue outside,

:14:10. > :14:13.inside, behind the thin yellow line, preparations for the next major step

:14:14. > :14:20.in UKfracking are taking place, this is a big deal for all sides.

:14:21. > :14:25.Local campaigner Barbara Richardson has fought this fracking site every

:14:44. > :14:47.are opening the door. You have to stop it now. July has seen the local

:14:48. > :14:51.efforts here bolstered by protesters from the group Reclaim The Power.

:14:52. > :14:56.They've been trying to disrupt access, climbing on top of lorries,

:14:57. > :15:01.sitting in the road, and locking themselves to vehicles. How do you

:15:02. > :15:04.justify this sort... We are not targeting lorry drivers, we

:15:05. > :15:08.understand that they need a job and they need to feed their children and

:15:09. > :15:13.take money, we are not purposely targeting them. But what they have

:15:14. > :15:17.on the back of the lorries is more equipment for them to get into the

:15:18. > :15:21.site and create the fracking, so the more we delay it, the slower the

:15:22. > :15:27.task is going to be, the more it costs the company. But despite their

:15:28. > :15:31.efforts, the drilling rig that will bore as deep as 3,000 metres below

:15:32. > :15:35.the Lancashire soil has been brought in. Engineers will then drill

:15:36. > :15:43.horizontally, fracture the shale rock and release the gas.

:15:44. > :15:46.And this site will be the most monitored gas exploration site ever,

:15:47. > :15:50.We are monitoring air-quality, water quality, noise,

:15:51. > :15:53.traffic movements, all of that being monitored 24-7

:15:54. > :15:55.and all of that made publicly available.

:15:56. > :15:58.Of course we also have the Environment Agency that have

:16:03. > :16:08.So I can say to people that you don't need to take my

:17:03. > :17:10.six years now. A lovely area, a lovely place to live. We did not

:17:11. > :17:17.expect to have the biggest shale frack on our site. We were not

:17:18. > :17:22.expecting all of this. All the contamination it will bring, people

:17:23. > :17:28.where we live on elderly and retired. A lot of concerns if there

:17:29. > :17:34.is contamination, which there will be, because we have seen films about

:17:35. > :17:39.it and everything. Personally, for my side, watching people on here,

:17:40. > :17:43.they cannot do anything about it. Thank goodness these protesters do

:17:44. > :17:50.things for us. They are helping our need really. You are in support of

:17:51. > :17:55.the protesters and the campaign. We have heard from the company behind

:17:56. > :17:59.it, saying there are a lot of checks and balances and the Environment

:18:00. > :18:05.Agency will be monitoring the site carefully. What about living with

:18:06. > :18:10.some of the protests? Police have been causing problems at the traffic

:18:11. > :18:14.lights. I have an elderly lady who has had a stroke and relies on

:18:15. > :18:21.carers to get her up in the morning. They sent them down and the

:18:22. > :18:30.diversion would not let them on. The policeman did come to see as

:18:31. > :18:35.afterwards. They refused them. They would not let the carers through to

:18:36. > :18:40.my husband, who is a sick man. We moved here two years ago for the

:18:41. > :18:54.clean air and fresh air for his health. Quadrilla said whatever they

:18:55. > :18:59.were doing with not tarnish my husband's health and I have letters

:19:00. > :19:07.to that effect. Moving all this fracking has not been good for us. I

:19:08. > :19:11.am against it. Thank you very much indeed. Sorry. We have run out of

:19:12. > :19:20.time. We really appreciate your comments. Local people have been

:19:21. > :19:24.thinking about this issue. As we have reflected throughout the

:19:25. > :19:29.morning, very different opinions on various sides, not just about the

:19:30. > :19:32.overall benefits but also the impact is harassed on a local site like

:20:21. > :20:25.looking changeable over the next couple of days. Rather than settle

:20:26. > :20:30.with low pressure dominating. Some blue sky and sunshine. This is more

:20:47. > :20:52.spaced isobars around. We're in for a breezy feel and over the course of

:20:53. > :20:55.the weekend as well. The winds are south-westerly bringing heavy

:20:56. > :21:00.showers. Also further south across the UK we will see more cloud and

:21:17. > :21:34.heavy spells of rain. Rain persistent in the south-west in the

:21:35. > :21:36.afternoon. It should stay mostly dry in the south of England and East

:21:37. > :21:39.Anglia. A similar story for the cricket at the Oval. A cloudy

:21:40. > :21:42.picture. The breeze picking up. From mid afternoon onwards we could see a

:23:56. > :23:57.asked him if he thought there would be a reputational hit. Reputation

:23:58. > :23:59.has taken a hit because of individual issues. We have seen

:24:00. > :24:01.strong competition. We're looking at the future. There are issues we need

:24:02. > :24:05.to address. Some have been handled well and some we could have handled

:24:15. > :24:19.challenges. Not measured over one year. Five years from now I would

:24:20. > :24:23.expect British Airways to be in the top ten of airlines worldwide. That

:24:24. > :24:32.is quite an ambition to have when they have fallen to number 40. It is

:24:33. > :24:34.so competitive at the minute. One reason they have had to change

:24:35. > :24:39.quickly hear about Norwegian Airlines providing flights for

:24:40. > :24:44.people for a couple of hundred quid to New York. They have had to stop

:24:50. > :24:54.I go British Airways, for that extra bit of something but not so much

:24:55. > :25:00.anymore. The problem is that BA have been rumbling for a while. You have

:25:01. > :25:04.been looking at PPI. This is about the numbers set aside and paid out

:25:05. > :25:10.to people, which seemed to be increasing all the time. Yesterday

:25:11. > :25:16.we heard Lloyds have put aside ?700 million. Morning, Berkeley is

:25:17. > :25:20.surprised a few people with ?700 million more of provision as well

:25:31. > :25:33.is August, 2019. The banks, they have been recalculating how much

:25:34. > :25:40.they think it will cost them to pay out until that date. Barkley say

:25:41. > :25:45.?700 million. That means more than ?9 billion from Barclays Bank alone.

:25:46. > :25:50.?30 billion has already been paid out over recent years. These are

:25:51. > :25:54.huge amounts of money. The banks could have been lending out that

:25:55. > :25:59.money to businesses and keeping the economy going. On the flip side

:26:00. > :26:02.there has been ?30 billion ball cash for people to spend in recent years

:26:03. > :26:07.they would not have taken into account before. We talk about

:26:08. > :26:11.economic growth. People think that might have helped to prop up the

:26:12. > :26:20.economy a bit. The banks are anticipating more people claiming

:26:21. > :26:26.PPI. It is almost like the adverts, you'll most become numb to them, do

:26:27. > :26:31.you? The calls and texts, you sort of think, I'm not going to do it

:26:32. > :26:35.now. Every time we talk about it, you mention to somebody there is

:26:36. > :26:40.another ?700 million put aside. Lloyds think there will be dealing

:31:50. > :31:52.long that should be. What we do know is it will need

:31:53. > :31:55.to be for a fixed period of time. But whether that time needs to be

:38:40. > :38:51.welcome to Breakfast. Give us an outline of what they have

:38:52. > :38:55.told you about your job. I trapped myself into it, really, because I

:38:56. > :38:58.sat on this couch and said this isn't good enough and that isn't

:38:59. > :39:04.good enough, and Andy Burnham said, go on, then. I thought, we need a

:39:05. > :39:09.budget, we need the will, we need to report to the Mayor. And he went,

:39:10. > :39:14.OK. So I have stumbled into it, but the beauty of it is, it is great to

:39:15. > :39:18.work on something you are passionate about, and we have the opportunity

:39:19. > :39:22.because the desire is there to change the way we travel in the

:39:23. > :39:27.greater Manchester area. There is an opportunity, and so often, we speak

:39:28. > :39:31.to politicians who say, yes, we have a plan and there will be funding,

:39:32. > :39:37.and it seems drawn out and nothing quite seems to come to fruition, so

:39:38. > :39:41.can you, as an outsider, someone who is passionate about cycling, say,

:39:42. > :39:44.there is a timetable, we have a budget, I'm going to tackle this and

:39:45. > :39:53.I can prove that we have tried to do this and got results? Have you been

:39:54. > :39:58.given the power? Yes. And there is a nonpolitical answer for you. I am

:39:59. > :40:03.going to spend the next few weeks speaking to people, understanding

:40:04. > :40:05.the landscape. I know a lot of the problems around infrastructure and

:40:06. > :40:09.why it doesn't happen, so we will look at that, and then in September,

:40:10. > :40:13.I will set meaningful targets and wait for it to be measured, because

:40:14. > :40:16.I think we should all be accountable, including me, from what

:40:17. > :40:22.we are going to do. The desire is there to do it. There will be some

:40:23. > :40:24.pain involved, for sure, and discomfort, because there is a

:40:25. > :40:30.finite amount of space on the streets and we have to choose how to

:40:31. > :40:36.use it. Pain for whom, do you think? I think the most interesting bit is,

:40:37. > :40:44.this is nothing to do with cyclists, it is to do with people who don't

:40:45. > :40:49.ride bikes - normal people. With my British Cycling hat on, we surveyed

:40:50. > :40:54.and found that more than 70% of people said they would love to ride

:40:55. > :40:58.a bike more if they felt safe, and that means providing safe. If we

:40:59. > :41:01.made it appealing for short journeys, we know the demand is

:41:02. > :41:06.there. So, this is targeted at people who don't ride a bike, not

:41:07. > :41:13.cyclists who already made a choice. Do you worry at all... You don't get

:41:14. > :41:16.to be an Olympic gold medallist by not being someone who achieves

:41:17. > :41:21.things, but in this role particularly, supposing you look at

:41:22. > :41:26.the infrastructure and say, I need this there, I need new track laid

:41:27. > :41:31.down here, I want this kind of material so that it is a good

:41:32. > :41:36.service, and Manchester turned round and says, we haven't got the money?

:41:37. > :41:39.Do you know how much money you have got to play with and how certain can

:41:40. > :41:44.you be that if you come up with what you know to be the solution, they

:41:45. > :41:50.are going to say, OK, whatever the costs? The solution has to be ours,

:41:51. > :41:53.to start with, it is about collaboration. For Finance, we are a

:41:54. > :42:04.couple of months away from starting, but we know that... It has to be

:42:05. > :42:08.joined up for those people who don't ride a bike now, or they won't do

:42:09. > :42:13.it. We have to find a way to do it. Money has never, ironically, been

:42:14. > :42:17.the biggest problem. This is the cheapest form of infrastructure to

:42:18. > :42:21.build. It is actually the desire and the political will to get stuck in

:42:22. > :42:24.and do it and change things and go through short-term disruption to get

:42:25. > :42:28.to the other end, and the desire to do that. I wouldn't have taken the

:42:29. > :42:36.job if I didn't believe that the political will to see it through was

:42:37. > :42:43.in place. Sale -- on the 1st of September, that is the day? Yes.

:42:44. > :42:46.Come back to us in a year to tell us how it is going. Thank you.

:42:47. > :42:49.Most of us see our holidays as an opportunity to disconnect

:42:50. > :42:51.from daily life, but new research suggests a fifth of us

:42:52. > :42:54.will travel with at least five gadgets in our luggage.

:42:55. > :42:57.But do we really need to log on when we're on holiday or is it

:42:58. > :43:15.You counted two mobile phones. Maybe you have mobile phone, and music

:43:16. > :43:20.listening device, a tablet - that's four. A tablet?

:43:21. > :43:23.In a minute, we'll speak to a mum of two who says gadgets

:43:24. > :43:25.keep the kids happy, and an author who argues

:43:26. > :43:33.But first, here's what some of you think.

:43:34. > :43:35.I usually take only my phone, because that's all I have,

:43:36. > :43:44.I think that's the amount of digital gadgets you can take on a holiday.

:43:45. > :43:47.My phone for emergencies, and I might take my iPad just to get

:43:48. > :43:55.Games console so you're passing the time, instead of reading a book.

:43:56. > :44:03.Take our phones so we can see maps, Google Maps, see where we're going.

:44:04. > :44:10.When you're self-employed you need to be able to contact people,

:44:11. > :44:14.They're phoning you, so you can't, no.

:44:15. > :44:18.I can go without a games console, but I can't go

:44:19. > :44:33.We're too dependable of them now, so I guess it's not possible.

:44:34. > :44:37.Journalist and mother of two Rachel Toal is here in the studio.

:44:38. > :44:40.Also joining us from our London newsroom is Tanya Goodin,

:44:41. > :44:56.Thank you for joining us. We were wondering how you get to five

:44:57. > :45:00.gadgets. One person taking five gadgets - how would you do that? It

:45:01. > :45:08.is easy when you add it up. We went to Portugal just a few weeks ago. I

:45:09. > :45:14.have two children, and we took two tablets, two mobile phones, and we

:45:15. > :45:23.also had one of those smart speakers that you can talk to and it plays

:45:24. > :45:27.something. So it adds up. Talk us through that scenario of all those

:45:28. > :45:31.gadgets, but you are in a beautiful place, maybe by the beach or by the

:45:32. > :45:34.swimming pool, and maybe you are all together and you could talk - is

:45:35. > :45:35.never a bit of you that things, I've got this stuff, but I could just

:45:36. > :45:46.say, we are on holiday? This is the conundrum, in a lovely

:45:47. > :45:50.place, the children are at the swimming pool, but when you are on

:45:51. > :45:54.holiday, and for the adults as well, it is easy to give the children The

:45:55. > :45:57.Tablet, going out for a meal, the children inevitably stay up a bit

:45:58. > :46:01.later so it can be easy when they are tired to give them a tablet so

:46:02. > :46:04.you can have a bit of extra time to enjoy yourself. That sounds like a

:46:05. > :46:08.holiday for the adults, like you don't want to spend time with your

:46:09. > :46:19.kids? Of course we want to spend time with our children! And we did

:46:20. > :46:22.on holiday, we went on day trips, we spent time in the pool, but I think

:46:23. > :46:25.it is a balancing act and actually the children are quite familiar with

:46:26. > :46:29.the tablet situation so I think it helps them as well, familiarising

:46:30. > :46:34.comfort for them. Let's speak to Tanya, Timetologoff, what should you

:46:35. > :46:40.be doing instead? I think it is a bit of a shame, given that we know

:46:41. > :46:45.we are glued 24/7 to our gadgets when we are not on holiday, why are

:46:46. > :46:50.we taking them with us? Surely, as you said earlier, your holiday is

:46:51. > :46:53.the time when you should be logging off and focusing on family and the

:46:54. > :46:57.people you are on holiday with, and also enjoying the place you have

:46:58. > :47:01.presumably paid a lot of money to go and visit. Not a bad thing to stay

:47:02. > :47:06.logged on in terms of keeping abreast of what is happening with

:47:07. > :47:11.news or in the world, or in contact with friends back home, that is not

:47:12. > :47:15.wrong, is it? No, but I think that is the excuse that people use, that

:47:16. > :47:19.is why I need to take my smartphone, because I need to stay connected,

:47:20. > :47:24.but if the watch what people do they sucked into what I call the Internet

:47:25. > :47:28.black hole, so you may think, I just need my phone because I need family

:47:29. > :47:31.to be able to contact me or need to occasionally check a new site, but I

:47:32. > :47:46.don't know if you have been on a beach

:47:47. > :47:48.recently or in a restaurant or holiday resort, people just sit

:47:49. > :47:51.staring at their friends endlessly, we are not really using them for

:47:52. > :47:53.tools, we are using them as an escape mechanism and destruction. As

:47:54. > :47:56.I said, not really enjoying the place we are there to enjoy. You are

:47:57. > :48:00.nodding along, Rachel, do you go along with the idea, children who

:48:01. > :48:05.are bored to find things to do, that is what happens. Yes, I think they

:48:06. > :48:08.do, and you can fall into a trap you depend on the tablet for

:48:09. > :48:11.entertainment and that can be your go to when there are other things

:48:12. > :48:16.you could be doing with the children, so I recognise the fact

:48:17. > :48:20.that it is not an ideal scenario and I place restrictions at home so we

:48:21. > :48:30.now have a kitchen timer for example so my children are allowed half an

:48:31. > :48:33.hour in the morning, half an hour in the evening and when the timer goes

:48:34. > :48:36.off after 30 minutes they know it is time to put the tablet away. Do you

:48:37. > :48:38.relax the rules on holiday? Yes, I do, because everything is more

:48:39. > :48:43.relaxed on holiday. Even though we had the tablet with us, they were

:48:44. > :48:50.not on them 24/7 on holiday. You don't have to justify! Everyone does

:48:51. > :48:55.these things differently. Briefly, what are the advantages,

:48:56. > :48:59.are there any physical, emotional, mental advantages of a tech

:49:00. > :49:03.time-out? There is quite a lot of research that has come out recently

:49:04. > :49:08.showing there are mental health benefits and physical health

:49:09. > :49:12.benefits to logging off. Oxford University did a study just last

:49:13. > :49:18.year, I think 100,000 teenagers, where they showed that after two

:49:19. > :49:26.hours on the smartphone a day well actually decreases and there was a

:49:27. > :49:28.piece of research done in Denmark at the Institute Of Happiness which

:49:29. > :49:33.shows when we specifically log off from Facebook for a week, happiness

:49:34. > :49:36.levels increase. There was research around sleep, we know sleep is

:49:37. > :49:41.affected by being on smartphones or any type of screen. So if you log

:49:42. > :49:45.off on holiday chances are you will sleep better, your happiness levels

:49:46. > :49:51.should increase, they should increase anyway if you are on

:49:52. > :49:55.holiday, also stress levels are increased by constantly checking

:49:56. > :50:00.phones for messages and e-mails, so lots of benefits from being of

:50:01. > :50:02.screens for a while. Thank you very much, Rachel, Tanya, for your time

:50:03. > :50:10.this morning. I like the sound of the Institute Of

:50:11. > :50:19.Happiness. We should do a programme from the Institute Of Happiness.

:50:20. > :50:23.This is the Institute Of Happiness! That had passed me by!

:50:24. > :50:27.It is in Denmark, we should go to Denmark. We are happy here, Charlie!

:50:28. > :50:29.If you have sunshine around this morning you might be feeling

:50:30. > :50:34.happier but it will not last that long through the day, quite a bit of

:50:35. > :50:38.cloud building and an unsettled picture to the weather, but there is

:50:39. > :50:39.some dry and bright weather to be enjoyed through the course of the

:50:40. > :50:47.weekend. This is the coast of North Yorkshire

:50:48. > :50:50.this morning, we have sunny spells first thing and then blustery

:50:51. > :50:55.showers developing more widely as we had through the day, those courtesy

:50:56. > :50:58.of this area of low pressure, which will be quite stubborn sitting out

:50:59. > :51:02.there to the north-west over the next couple of days, drawing in a

:51:03. > :51:06.south-westerly feed of ISO quite a breeze from the south-west,

:51:07. > :51:10.importing some showers, some heavy showers from parts of northern

:51:11. > :51:19.England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, further south across the UK we have

:51:20. > :51:21.showers rattling in on the brisk breeze. Through the afternoon we

:51:22. > :51:23.will keep the picture of sunshine and showers across Scotland and

:51:24. > :51:25.Northern Ireland, could be the odd heavy thundery one but drier

:51:26. > :51:29.brighter weather in northern England for a time before it turns cloudy

:51:30. > :51:33.and dump later on. Wet weather across Wales and the south-west of

:51:34. > :51:36.England through the afternoon, the odd heavy burst of rain there,

:51:37. > :51:40.should be mostly dry across the middle of the afternoon across the

:51:41. > :51:43.London region and East Anglia but fairly cloudy skies here, that is

:51:44. > :51:48.how it is looking for the cricket at the Oval today, the third test

:51:49. > :52:03.continues, lots of cloud which could bring some spots of rain through the

:52:04. > :52:07.afternoon and the breeze picking up as well. This area of rain across

:52:08. > :52:09.Wales and the south-west of England, into the evening it pushes northward

:52:10. > :52:12.and eastward across England so bringing a spell of wet and windy

:52:13. > :52:14.weather. Scotland and Northern Ireland will see the showers in the

:52:15. > :52:16.far north-west but by Saturday morning many of us start the day

:52:17. > :52:19.with clear skies and temperatures around 12 to 15 degrees. Saturday

:52:20. > :52:21.will not be a bad day, that front will have passed its way south

:52:22. > :52:23.eastwards overnight, clearing to the near continent, low pressure in the

:52:24. > :52:27.north-west meaning further blustery showers but for much of the country

:52:28. > :52:31.you have got quite a decent day on Saturday, lots of sunny weather, in

:52:32. > :52:35.the south this area of rain bringing grain to the Channel Isles, late in

:52:36. > :52:38.the day pushing into parts of southern England and toward East

:52:39. > :52:42.Anglia as well. But before it gets there quite a bit of dry weather

:52:43. > :52:46.away from the heavy showers in the far north-west. Onto Sunday, sunny

:52:47. > :52:52.spells and scattered showers, it won't be a wash-out, there will be

:52:53. > :52:55.drier integrals, heavier showers in the north-west gradually drifted

:52:56. > :52:59.eastwards through the day but the south-east avoiding most of them for

:53:00. > :53:03.a good part of the day. To summarise, fairly cool and breezy at

:53:04. > :53:06.the weekend, there will be sunshine so enjoy it when you see it because

:53:07. > :53:09.there will be plenty of showers on the way.

:53:10. > :53:15.We will enjoy the sunshine as we get it, cerebral, thanks very much.

:53:16. > :53:20.This morning we are getting to explore an extraordinary underground

:53:21. > :53:25.railway sector by the Royal Mail but now disused beneath the streets of

:53:26. > :53:29.London. Abandoned. But now back in action.

:53:30. > :53:34.Tim gets to play with the trains underground.

:53:35. > :53:38.Good morning, Tim. Yes, I am living at my boyhood dreams this morning,

:53:39. > :53:40.it is not often you get to broadcast live from a disused abandoned

:53:41. > :53:47.railway network underneath London but that is exactly what this is.

:53:48. > :53:52.Construction on these tunnels began 100 years ago, 90 years ago they

:53:53. > :53:56.went into disservice, they were the basis of Mail Rail, a system of

:53:57. > :54:02.transporting mail across the capital which transformed the way post was

:54:03. > :54:07.sorted and delivered. From September these will be available to explore

:54:08. > :54:12.from members of the public, and from today a Postal Museum opens in

:54:13. > :54:13.London which tells the story of our postal network. I have been taking a

:54:14. > :54:15.look. Throughout its 500 year history,

:54:16. > :54:17.the Royal Mail's mission has To harness technology of the day

:54:18. > :54:28.to deliver letters and parcels as quickly and accurately

:54:29. > :54:30.as possible. This new Postal Museum shows how

:54:31. > :54:37.deliveries have evolved. But by the early 20th century,

:54:38. > :54:39.the mail system in London faced two big problems -

:54:40. > :54:44.heavy fog caused by smoke billowing In 1927, this underground

:54:45. > :54:58.rail network opened. On the Post Office tube railway,

:54:59. > :55:04.over 20,000 bags travel through six For 75 years, unmanned trains

:55:05. > :55:11.shuttled mail between six sorting offices and two railway stations,

:55:12. > :55:14.Liverpool Street and Paddington. I guess it was designed

:55:15. > :55:17.for letters, not people. The service was stopped in 2003

:55:18. > :55:26.but passengers will soon be able to ride specially-adapted trains

:55:27. > :55:28.through the tunnels. It was a really important part

:55:29. > :55:31.of moving the mail and speeding It was essential to allowing that

:55:32. > :55:37.communication to happen quickly and to get that mail delivered

:55:38. > :55:46.as quickly as people needed it. NEWSREEL: Switch cabins,

:55:47. > :55:48.keep everything under control, bringing trains to a stop

:55:49. > :55:50.on loading platforms. About 220 people were working

:55:51. > :55:55.on the railways in a shift pattern, it was a 24-hour operation,

:55:56. > :55:58.and there was a huge team of people with different jobs

:55:59. > :56:00.and response abilities. Its running costs were deemed too

:56:01. > :56:06.high, transporting mail above ground was considered more cost effective,

:56:07. > :56:20.even though some disagreed. This is one of the mail platforms,

:56:21. > :56:23.where the trains would have stopped and the mail would have been

:56:24. > :56:25.loaded into containers. The suddenness of the system's

:56:26. > :56:27.closure also surprised many. It almost looks like

:56:28. > :56:29.it was abandoned. The equipment was all left

:56:44. > :56:47.network, allowing people to stay in touch over distance and quickly,

:56:48. > :56:49.and it was important, the speed was imported,

:56:50. > :57:00.and that's what this was about, We have been given special

:57:01. > :57:03.permission to broadcast from the tracks of the network this morning,

:57:04. > :57:08.members of the public won't normally be allowed to do that, I should make

:57:09. > :57:12.that clear! Lets chat to Ray used to work on Mail Rail. What is it like

:57:13. > :57:16.to be back here in your former workplace? It is interesting, they

:57:17. > :57:20.have opened everything up and put platforms up so everyone can see the

:57:21. > :57:26.new attractions it is a remarkable piece of work. What was it like to

:57:27. > :57:31.work a? It was very busy and noisy, running over 20 hours a day, a train

:57:32. > :57:35.in the station every six minutes loading and unloading, very busy.

:57:36. > :57:39.What impact did it have on the way post was sorted and delivered not

:57:40. > :57:43.just in London but across the country? It was a very important

:57:44. > :57:47.part of the postal network because it connected district offices in

:57:48. > :57:49.central London with two major rail hubs, Liverpool Street and

:57:50. > :58:00.Paddington, and from there the rest of the world. There was a real

:58:01. > :58:03.community of about 200 people who worked on the system? Over 200

:58:04. > :58:05.people and the team spirit because it was a closed environment,

:58:06. > :58:08.everyone felt they belonged to the same thing. Welcome back! Adrian,

:58:09. > :58:12.you from the Postal Museum, how important is it that a piece of

:58:13. > :58:16.heritage like this is reopened? It is important to offer members of the

:58:17. > :58:19.public a chance to see this heritage, not only to look at a

:58:20. > :58:23.piece of it but to feel it, smell it, ride it, touch it, see

:58:24. > :58:28.everything Mail Rail has two other. Do you think in a way, this is

:58:29. > :58:31.unknown to many people and it is extraordinary because part of the

:58:32. > :58:35.route is near to where the new Crossrail will be. Exactly, it could

:58:36. > :58:39.be said to be the Crossrail of its time in many ways, the tunnel at

:58:40. > :58:43.Liverpool Street is very close to Crossrail and even here at Mount

:58:44. > :58:48.Pleasant not too far away. I was fascinated to hear when you reopened

:58:49. > :58:52.these after they had been abandoned for 17 years there were no rats and

:58:53. > :58:58.mice, why was that? Because there was no food, said this was for post

:58:59. > :59:02.and not people, there was no food for the rats, so no rats, no mice,

:59:03. > :59:08.no vermin. Very clean, good to hear! From

:59:09. > :59:11.September this Mail Rail will be available, those special trains we

:01:57. > :02:00.born out of the second year of that project, initially starting as three

:02:01. > :02:01.short films. The creative mind never rests and I thought, what else could

:02:02. > :02:18.I do with this? Inspired by El Mariachi, a Mexican

:02:19. > :02:21.film, I went ahead. That theme of learning from one another, as you go

:02:22. > :02:24.through the process, how concerned are you that the message you want to

:02:25. > :02:32.come out of it is the one that people will get? That is one of the

:02:33. > :02:35.scenes where people are talking. It is set with different groups of

:02:36. > :02:40.people who have either no understanding of each other or a

:02:41. > :02:43.hatred. Indeed, and I wanted to be fair in my reflection, and I'm

:02:44. > :02:48.thankful that what I wanted you achieve has been achieved, according

:02:49. > :02:52.to the feedback from private screenings. It has been called fair

:02:53. > :02:57.and balanced. Life is a mixed bag, and the film reflects that very

:02:58. > :03:07.clearly. For those who are out to demonise, hate, and at worst kill,

:03:08. > :03:21.hopefully they will take a look at both the result was a menorah take.

:03:22. > :03:32.You also try to look at the small events and circumstances which leads

:03:33. > :03:45.to a very tragic event. We won't spoil too much. Use -- Yusuf, this

:03:46. > :03:53.is his reaction. No matter what good he has done, he still got stabbed.

:03:54. > :04:09.The mosque could have protected him. What would you do? Kill him. The

:04:10. > :04:16.Koran is against violence. Do you think if that guy said sorry that I

:04:17. > :04:23.would forgive him? It picks up on a lot of stereotypes in which is maybe

:04:24. > :04:27.the wrong word, but anger in the Muslim community about how outsiders

:04:28. > :04:34.view it, issues of economic hardship and how that can treat anger, and

:04:35. > :04:40.isolation. To bring all that together, I imagine the editing room

:04:41. > :04:47.was quite brutal. That was my bedroom! I was very much learning on

:04:48. > :04:52.the job. I suppose the biggest challenge was the writing phase.

:04:53. > :04:57.Bringing the three short films together into one narrative was the

:04:58. > :05:01.biggest challenge. I am thankful that the reception so far has been

:05:02. > :05:15.what it has. I wanted to fairly reflect the issue. We had one of the

:05:16. > :05:19.writers of the Gay Britannia series on and he said that he did not like

:05:20. > :05:23.that is drama was having to be labelled as part of a gay segment on

:05:24. > :05:33.the BBC. In the same way, is it a bit of a problem that this is being

:05:34. > :05:38.billed as a film about Islamophobia? No. I wonder if that necessarily

:05:39. > :05:46.puts it in a certain place where you are maybe marginalising audiences by

:05:47. > :05:50.pigeonholing it. I would like their story to stand on its own merits,

:05:51. > :05:55.but because of the climate we are in, and it is getting worse,

:05:56. > :05:58.unfortunately, I am pitching it as a UK film about Islamophobia. People

:05:59. > :06:03.need to know that every something out there championing their boys. It

:06:04. > :06:07.is OK hating the other, but let's understand what they are saying and

:06:08. > :06:10.why. Thank you for joining us, it is an interesting film.

:06:11. > :06:12.Freesia will be shown at selected cinemas across the country

:06:13. > :06:23.Coming up, we will meet the woman has been reconnected to her cousin's

:06:24. > :06:24.wartime diaries. Now, a last, brief look

:06:25. > :07:59.at the headlines where Now, though, it's back

:08:00. > :08:01.to Naga and Charlie. When our next guest cleaned

:08:02. > :08:11.out her attic and threw away her second cousin's old diary,

:08:12. > :08:14.she didn't know a precious piece of family history had slipped

:08:15. > :08:16.through her fingers. But then the wartime diaries

:08:17. > :08:18.were discovered and rescued by an antiques dealer

:08:19. > :08:20.who was fascinated by the Second World War stories

:08:21. > :08:25.of their owner Evelyn Shillington. With us now are Evelyn's second

:08:26. > :08:37.cousin Jacy Wall and the antiques dealer Shaun Sewell,

:08:38. > :08:46.who's turned the diary into a novel. Jacy you were aware of the diaries

:08:47. > :08:50.because it was part of other things you were aware of, but you didn't

:08:51. > :08:55.realise what they were? No, they were in a trunk with a whole lot of

:08:56. > :09:03.archive material to do with a children's musical play which

:09:04. > :09:06.Evelyn's mother Road, which is an important part of British theatrical

:09:07. > :09:10.history, and I had been trying to find a home for this archive, and

:09:11. > :09:19.nobody would take it. So I put the whole thing in to auction. They were

:09:20. > :09:30.all wrapped up in brown paper, and I had never read them. And in comes

:09:31. > :09:39.Shaun. Isil the diaries in a saleroom catalogue. I had done a few

:09:40. > :09:48.books before, so these, thought they were quite intriguing, these were

:09:49. > :09:58.right down at the bottom of the archive. What did you flick through

:09:59. > :10:03.the diaries? Some of them are full of mundane, ordinary things and some

:10:04. > :10:09.fascinating. I came to have our look at at these. I found these in

:10:10. > :10:13.thought, they look great, but I don't have the time to go through

:10:14. > :10:24.them, so I can travel back home or get a hotel, and having a punt,

:10:25. > :10:29.staying overnight... This is a war diary. Probably too small to read,

:10:30. > :10:36.but on the 1st of January: What will this year bring to us? 1938. It

:10:37. > :10:40.immediately goes into detail about a great sense of injustice, with Rex

:10:41. > :10:47.being moved from Bramley to South Lancashire. And that is the point,

:10:48. > :10:54.isn't it? This is the point about the way that Evelyn writes - she is

:10:55. > :11:00.so vivid, so engaged in her life and the people around her. And these are

:11:01. > :11:03.postcards collected at the time? Those were in their diary, so she

:11:04. > :11:12.kept the material that went in there. Every programme she bought,

:11:13. > :11:20.everything is in there. To me, it is like the ultimate treasure pop. It

:11:21. > :11:25.goes on and on. Jacy, what did you learn about your family from the

:11:26. > :11:31.diary? I think because the generations in that part of my

:11:32. > :11:38.family were very long, Evelyn was born in 1893, and her mother was my

:11:39. > :11:45.great aunt, if you can compute that. My mother was Evelyn's first cousin,

:11:46. > :11:51.but there was 20 years' age difference. I was born in 1952, so

:11:52. > :12:00.all of Evelyn's aunts and immediate family were all dead by the time I

:12:01. > :12:03.was growing up. There was a lot in there about people some of whom I

:12:04. > :12:06.met as a small child bite I didn't know anything about them and they

:12:07. > :12:12.come alive in this for me, personally. Shaun, part of the

:12:13. > :12:15.delights of this is that presumably in your head you start picturing

:12:16. > :12:22.these things and then you meet members of the family? Yes, that is

:12:23. > :12:25.the added bonus. You see everything in black and white, but it is the

:12:26. > :12:29.story behind the diaries, the people you will meet through research, and

:12:30. > :12:34.that is what I enjoyed. You find out more about their person. You get in

:12:35. > :12:38.touch with the person who has written it, and it is difficult not

:12:39. > :12:43.to fall in love with Evelyn. It is the first female voice I have had,

:12:44. > :12:53.so that is another bonus. Is that any different to the usual

:12:54. > :12:59.recollection of war? She is free to explore her emotions and perception

:13:00. > :13:03.of different times, she lives in barracks with her husband, and there

:13:04. > :13:08.were other Army wives, a great perspective to see. I have never

:13:09. > :13:11.come across a Second World War perspective from a military wife.

:13:12. > :13:17.There must have been a dozen changes of address. You always get this

:13:18. > :13:22.balance between these momentous things happening in the world, and

:13:23. > :13:28.her husband was a Brigadier, so you get all of that, but also fantastic

:13:29. > :13:31.domestic detail. Evelyn is having to set up home again and again, and

:13:32. > :13:42.doing voluntary work and being involved in all sorts. Thank you

:13:43. > :13:44.both for coming in. Diaries - I always think we should be doing it,

:13:45. > :13:45.but we don't. Eve's War: The Diaries
