of blustery showers. -- plenty. All the details in 15 minutes. Thank | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
you. President Trump's aide has resigned | :01:43. | :01:43. | |
after days of public infighting at the White House and repeated | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
failures by his administration to fulfil their key | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
election pledges. Mr Trump has replaced his Chief | :01:51. | :01:51. | |
of Staff Reince Priebus, with John Kelly, a former general | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
who's been in charge of the Department | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
of Homeland Security. One official said he'd been hired | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
with the goal of bringing more Here's our North America | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
correspondent, Peter Bowes. Another tweet, another resignation, | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
another day in the Trump presidency. Reince Priebus is the latest to | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
leave this job prematurely. The shortest serving Chief of Staff in | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
history. He is being replaced by a four-star general. John Kelly. | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
Donald Trump revealed he was replaced at the end of a tumultuous | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
week in Washington. Earlier, they travelled together to an event and | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
long island. Donald Trump gave a lot of praise to John Kelly. John Kelly | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
has done an amazing job as Secretary of Homeland Security. Incredible. A | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
real star. One of our best. It was when he was heading back to the | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
White House that Donald Trump tweeted news about the job change. | :02:50. | :02:57. | |
He spoke briefly to reporters. John Kelly will do a fantastic job. | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
General John Kelly will be a star. He is respected by everybody. A | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
great American. Reince Priebus is a good man. There was a time they | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
seemed very close. Since the election, the right-hand man, Reince | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
Priebus, rarely far from the president's side. But he said after | :03:19. | :03:26. | |
several days of discussions, he wanted to resign. The president | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
wanted to go in a different direction. The president has a right | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
to change directions and hit a reset button. I think it is a good time to | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
do so and he was right to do so. It was something that I think the White | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
House needs. I think it is healthy. And I support him in it. Asked about | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
an interview in which he was described by the new White House | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
communications chief, Anthony Scaramucci, as a paranoid | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
schizophrenic, rinse Reeva's said he did not want to get on to the mud -- | :03:58. | :04:05. | |
Reince Priebus. Next week, a new general is in charge. BBC News. | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
Violence has broken out in East London during protests | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
about the death of a man, Rashan Charles, who was apprehended | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
Bottles and fireworks were thrown at officers in the Dalston | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
The Independent Police Complaints Commission is investigating | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
the circumstances surrounding the death of the 20-year-old. | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
Dan Johnson was at the scene last night. | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
A tense night in part of East London. A fleet of police riot vans | :04:30. | :04:41. | |
faces a burning barricade. Fireworks and bottles being thrown. Hundreds | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
of officers were sent in force to push them back. After a peaceful | :04:47. | :04:55. | |
protest earlier in the day ended in violence. It is just past midnight | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
and things have started to calm down and many people have moved away and | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
left. There are still many police officers here in heavy riot gear. | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
This was sparked by the death of Rashan Charles, a 20-year-old chased | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
into a shop by police. Officers say he tried to swallow something. There | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
was a struggle and he became ill. Just over an hour later, Rashan | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
Charles was declared dead. He is the third young man to lose his life | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
after being stopped by police in London in just a month. They are | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
angry and confused as they are not represented. They have to carry | :05:34. | :05:40. | |
knives and sell drugs because they are living in fear. Why do they have | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
to do that? They don't understand life. They don't want to work for | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
the system. It was concern and anger at the system that last night spilt | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
out onto the streets. Police say whatever the frustrations, this is | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
not what the family of Rashan Charles wanted. BBC News, Hackney, | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
London. We'll be talking to Dan in Hackney | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
in a few minutes. 11-month-old, Charlie Gard, | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
has died after his life support His parents gave up their fight | :06:13. | :06:14. | |
to have his genetic condition treated in America during | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
a High Court case earlier this week. Charlie's condition grabbed | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
the attention of many around Our medical correspondent, | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
Fergus Walsh, has more. This is Charlie Gard | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
without breathing or feeding tubes. Born apparently healthy, but soon, | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
a devastating genetic condition emerged which causes | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
progressive muscle weakness. By his side throughout | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
have been his parents, Charlie was transferred | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
from intensive care at Great Ormond Street Hospital, | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
where he'd spent ten months, to a hospice, where | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
he died earlier today. They'd fought a lengthy battle | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
to keep Charlie alive, refusing to accept he had suffered | :06:58. | :06:59. | |
catastrophic brain damage. And they raised funds online | :07:00. | :07:08. | |
for experimental treatment Great Ormond Street applied to court | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
to end Charlie's life support, At the UK Supreme Court, | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
with Charlie's parents sitting behind, the hospital's barrister | :07:15. | :07:24. | |
said his suffering should end. The reality is that Charlie | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
can't see, he can't hear, he can't move, he can't | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
cry, he can't swallow. An American doctor offering to treat | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
Charlie with this experimental powder had not seen his full medical | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
records and it took six months before he came to | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
London to examine him. Finally, on Monday, | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
at the High Court, Charlie's parents abandoned their legal | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
fight to keep him alive, Our son is an absolute warrior | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
and we could not be prouder of him His body, heart, and soul may soon | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
be gone, but his spirit will live on for eternity, and he will make | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
a difference to people's lives A private family tragedy | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
was fought out in public. Even the location and timing | :08:05. | :08:16. | |
of Charlie's death became Doctors and nurses at | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
Great Ormond Street, one of the world's most renowned | :08:19. | :08:21. | |

threats, which Charlie's parents Charlie died a week | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
before his first birthday. His parents said they were sorry | :08:27. | :08:41. | |
they could not save him but would set up a foundation in his | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
name to help other sick children. The United States and South Korea | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
have staged joint missile exercises in response to the latest test | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
firing by North Korea of an intercontinental | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
ballistic missile. It's the second such missile to be | :08:56. | :08:56. | |
launched by Pyongyang this month, and reached an altitude | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
of more than 2,000 miles. North Korean state media reported | :09:01. | :09:02. | |
leader Kim Jong-un as saying that the test proved that America | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
was within striking range. More than 50 MPs have backed calls | :09:06. | :09:19. | |
for urgent improvements The British Infrastructure Group | :09:20. | :09:21. | |

and wide-ranging action The BBC's longest running | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
medical drama, Casualty, The entire episode has been filmed | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
on a single camera in real time. It's a first in British television | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
and marks its 30th anniversary, Can you imagine the preparation that | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
went into this? There's a baby in there! This whole | :09:45. | :10:10. | |
episode of Casualty was filmed all in one go, so that is one continuous | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
shot with one hand-held camera for a full 48 minutes. Filming a storyline | :10:16. | :10:22. | |
with real-time action throws up all manner of problems, so why did they | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
do it? It is the closest the show can get to reflect the NHS in its | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
most raw form. Take it easy. Don't go through that yourself. It took | :10:35. | :10:42. | |
two weeks of rehearsals for the cast and crew, and eight full-length | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
takes were filmed. It is the last one of those which will make it to | :10:47. | :10:48. | |
air tonight. BBC News. Casualty is on BBC One at 9:05 | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
tonight. Tune in for that. Quite a technical | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
achievement. Wet Wetwork fronter is leaving the | :10:56. | :11:28. | |
band. He will be focusing on a career change. Has this stood the | :11:29. | :11:44. | |
test of time? I was just singing along. I was a great fan of Marty | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
Pele. Many of us this morning did not realise Wet Wet Wet were still | :11:50. | :11:57. | |
together. But we know all the words. This song is from 1992. The band was | :11:58. | :12:07. | |
formed in the 80s. They sold 15 million singles and albums around | :12:08. | :12:18. | |
the world, with hits like this, good night, Girl, Love is All Around. He | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
will still be around. We can still look at him and enjoy. We will have | :12:23. | :12:29. | |
the weather in a few minutes. And we will have the sport as well. | :12:30. | :12:30. | |
Let's get more on those overnight protests in east London | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
following the death of Rashan Charles last week | :12:34. | :12:35. | |
Dan Johnson was at the scene last night and is there | :12:36. | :12:43. | |
Good morning. It looks more calm. People are going about their | :12:44. | :12:54. | |
business this morning. There is obviously tension in the area. That | :12:55. | :13:03. | |
is right. Things are quiet in Hackney this morning. There has been | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
a considerable cleanup overnight and there is little sign of what | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
happened. A few scorch marks on the road. A bit of debris around. But | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
the council has been out to clean up most things. Not a lot is left to | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
show what happened last night. It was quite a serious episode for a | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
time. Limited violence carried out by only a handful of the protesters | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
who were part of the protest yesterday. It turned violent later | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
on last night. There were huge issues and tensions and concerns | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
people had. It is not just about the death of Rashan Charles. Later | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
today, his father will meet with the father of one of the other young men | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
who has died in the last month in London after meeting with the | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
police. They will both hold a vigil outside the police station close to | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
the two raised concerns about police. -- to here to raise. But the | :14:05. | :14:16. | |
family say they don't want this. They are working with the police | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
investigation commission to see what happened with Rashan Charles. This | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
is the flashpoint from last night just in the background. Thank you. | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
Live from Hackney. Let's look at the front pages and | :14:30. | :14:38. | |
Charlie Gard features on the front of many, as you would expect, | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
including the Sun. Charlie Gard's mum Connie Yates saying that our | :14:43. | :14:49. | |
beautiful little boy has gone, obviously devastated, his life | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
support was switched off a week before his birthday and both the | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
parents are saying that he passed away. The front page of the Mirror | :14:59. | :15:05. | |
as well. Chris Garde pictured with Charlie Gard. Something different on | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
the front of the Daily Telegraph, election will be a second poll on | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
the EU is their headline and this after concern that Britain could | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
still be in what the paper calls a state of flux when the next General | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
Election comes around in 2022 and Remain supporters could seize a | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
chance to water down Brexit and even try to reverse the process. A story | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
we will be talking about later over concerns about fast broadband and | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
whether providers of broadband across the country are providing to | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
consumers what they are advertising. More on that later. We will be | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
talking about that later with Grant Shapps. That Times saying gangs are | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
paying teenagers to launder crime cash. Thousands being paid by | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
criminals to hide or launder stolen money in their bank accounts so | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
parents are being asked to monitor their children's transactions. The | :16:01. | :16:09. | |
picture is Ben Stokes, success in the cricket. He is the first England | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
batsmen to hit three successive sixes in a Test match since Wally | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
Hammond in... Ben, you'll remember this, 1933. Remember it really well! | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
A quick look in the business world, this story in the middle is | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
interesting, regulators yesterday saying they could consider new rules | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
to limit the limit the amount of nicotine in cigarettes to | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
nonaddictive levels but shares in the big tobacco firms falling | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
sharply as a result. America says it wants to clamp down on some of the | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
world's largest tobacco groups. You're watching | :16:44. | :16:44. | |
Breakfast from BBC News. Donald Trump continues to change his | :16:45. | :16:52. | |
White House team, confirming on Twitter he's replaced his Chief of | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
Staff with a former army general. Fireworks and bottles have been | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
thrown during a protest in Hackney in east London after the death of a | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
man who had been restrained by police last week. | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
Time to talk to Sarah to find out what's happening with the weather. | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
Can I say I'm officially on board with the weather forecast before | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
it's started because I want to talk about hot temperatures. | :17:19. | :17:20. | |
Be nice, you know what I'm going to say already, but I'm looking forward | :17:21. | :17:29. | |
to it anyway. It's not a write-off, some sunshine to be seen through the | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
course of the weekend but also plenty of those showers around and | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
it's feeling quite blustery and rather cool for the time of year but | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
having said that, this is this morning in Bedford. Blue skies and | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
sunshine around this morning and for some that will last through the day. | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
Also some rain and some showers in parts of Scotland and Northern | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
Ireland, blustery in the north-west and we have some rain sitting in the | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
English Channel today and that will push its way northwards as we had | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
through particularly two this afternoon. Looking at this morning, | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
9am, showers in northern parts of Northern Ireland and north-west | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
Scotland but further south it is drier and brighter and a bit of | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
sunshine in parts of north-west England to the Midlands. Heading to | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
Wales and the south-west of England, patchy cloud. There's the rain | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
sitting in the Isles of Scilly and southern parts of Cornwall and Devon | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
and in the far south-east we have the rain lingering off the coast of | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
Kent and east Sussex. Should be dry to start the day at the Oval as the | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
third test continues but later in the afternoon we have more of a | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
chance of seeing the rain heading in an the breeze picking up. Moving | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
through the day, this rain in the south will filter further north, so | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
in much of southern England we will see outbreaks through the middle | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
part of the day. To the north of that, drier in the Midlands, | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
northern England and Wales with a few showers and we will see a mix of | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
sunshine and showers in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Temperatures today | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
around 17 to 22 degrees. Into the evening hours is when we see the | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
rain in the south pushing further north so across all of England and | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
Wales, a spell of wet weather through the evening and night. | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
Further north-west, clearer skies and still the showers rattling in on | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
the breeze. Overnight temperatures for most around 13 to 15. Reasonably | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
mild. Through the day tomorrow, low pressure is still sticking with us, | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
it's been with us for a while and one area of low pressure pushing | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
away to the east so the bulk of the rain pushes away but we still have | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
low pressure in the north-west that will feed in plenty more showers. | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
Not raining all the time, showers moving through quickly on the breeze | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
but in the north and the west some showers will be heavy and thundery. | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
Fewer showers reaching the south-east and it's looking like a | :19:40. | :19:46. | |
decent day for Ride London in Surrey and London, the chance for later in | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
the day a few showers filtering in. Low pressure stays with us as we | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
look to the new working week. No great changes into Monday. Still | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
fairly showery, particularly to the north and west, fewer showers | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
reaching the south-east, though, and a hint of something drier and | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
brighter into the middle of the coming week. Sarah, we will let you | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
off, thanks very much or now. More from Sarah later. | :20:12. | :20:13. | |
We'll be back with the headlines at 6:30pm. | :20:14. | :20:15. | |
It's time now for the Film Review with Jane Hill and James King. | :20:16. | :20:30. | |
Hello and welcome to The Film Review on BBC News. | :20:31. | :20:32. | |
To take us through this week's cinema releases, | :20:33. | :20:34. | |
I'm joined by James King, while Mark takes a summer break. | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
What have you been watching this week? | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
First up, it feels like ages since there has been a new, | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
It is called the The Big Sick and I will tell you about that. | :20:45. | :20:53. | |
From Australia, Hounds of Love, this is a brutal true story, | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
And a big hit in the States, this one, it stars Queen Latifah | :20:57. | :21:03. | |
Now, probably no one has missed all the publicity for The Big Sick. | :21:04. | :21:14. | |
Really interesting interviews everywhere with the actor, | :21:15. | :21:16. | |
First, you can see on the poster, Kumail Nanjiani is the writer | :21:17. | :21:30. | |
and the star and it's written it with his partner, | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
Emily Gordon, about their life, how they got together, | :21:34. | :21:35. | |
The big difference between them is Kumail is originally | :21:36. | :21:43. | |
from Pakistan, moved to Chicago with his family, | :21:44. | :21:45. | |
quite a traditional Pakistani Muslim family, whereas Emily is white | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
American, from this academic and eccentric family. | :21:49. | :21:49. | |
That is the chalk and cheese dynamic that every good | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
That is at the centre of it but then people are saying, | :21:53. | :22:00. | |
There is also an illness which happens to one | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
There's a lot happening in the film, a lot of story. | :22:05. | :22:15. | |
The clip is from the beginning of the movie. | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
Kumail is trying to make it as a stand-up comedian and he meets | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
Emily, played by Zoe Kazan, for the first time. | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
Now that the niceties are out of the way, I have to tell you that | :22:25. | :22:31. | |
when you yelled at me, it really threw me off. | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
You really should not heckle comedians, it's so rude. | :22:35. | :22:36. | |
I just woo-hooed you, it's supportive. | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
Yelling anything at a comedian is considered heckling. | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
So if I yelled out, like, "You are amazing in bed", | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
Yeah, that would be an accurate heckle. | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
I think Kumail and Emily, the writers, are inspired | :22:52. | :23:07. | |
They've said they were inspired by Richard Curtis, Annie Hall | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
and Tootsie so if you are inspired by those movies, | :23:14. | :23:15. | |
Tootsie is one of my favourite films! | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
What was really good about it, a lot of people have said, | :23:20. | :23:22. | |
is this some statement about the politics of America | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
and racial relations in America right now but it is not. | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
It is a personal story, not a political story. | :23:29. | :23:30. | |
It is a true story about two people getting together. | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
Is there anything new in talking about interracial couples, | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
which doesn't get talked about a lot? | :23:39. | :23:40. | |
That is a refreshing thing about this film, | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
it is in there but it is not trying to make a larger statement. | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
It is just about what happened to them. | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
He's in it, he wrote it, he stars in it but it is not too | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
self-serving, it's more affectionate than that? | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
Absolutely, it is very affectionate and there's a lovely relationship | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
between Kumail and Emily's parents, Holly Hunter and Ray Romano. | :24:05. | :24:06. | |
Ray Romano, I know from a sitcom and one of the voices in Ice Age. | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
I didn't really expect him to be as good as he is. | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
In this comedy is really showing us he is a good actor as well. | :24:14. | :24:21. | |
I think he could be possibly up for some awards | :24:22. | :24:23. | |
She is just nuts in this and brilliantly so. | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
How lovely to go into the summer after a hard year with something | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
We have not had a new, fresh romantic comedy for a while. | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
People seems to think we know all the tropes, | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
we know how they work, all the cliches but this actually, | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
it has a romantic comedy framework but it is doing new things. | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
I'll put it out there, I have read lots about it but I know | :24:51. | :25:00. | |
Explain why some people like me may be rather queasy. | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
Again, loosely based on a true story, at least, | :25:06. | :25:08. | |
about the Moorhouse murders which happened in Perth | :25:09. | :25:10. | |
in Western Australia in the mid-'80s, where a suburban | :25:11. | :25:13. | |
couple were kidnapping teenage girls. | :25:14. | :25:15. | |
I suppose what is really gripping and interesting about this film | :25:16. | :25:17. | |
is that it is not some exploitative horror movie. | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
It is actually a character study of this couple who do this and why | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
they do it and what is going on in their heads. | :25:27. | :25:29. | |
Specifically, the wife, Emma Booth, whose character is called Evelyn, | :25:30. | :25:32. | |
who she is and what has gone on in her past and why | :25:33. | :25:35. | |
she is in this situation and does what she does. | :25:36. | :25:45. | |
That stops it just being about cardboard cutouts, | :25:46. | :25:47. | |
It's interesting because it is actually about the characters, | :25:48. | :25:54. | |
these three-dimensional characters, the kidnappers and one | :25:55. | :25:56. | |
They all have their own stories and real depth to them. | :25:57. | :26:04. | |
This is the first film from Ben Young and he really | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
captures suburban Australian life very well, disillusionment | :26:10. | :26:10. | |
It is brutal and tough to watch, of course, but very well made. | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
OK, I hear you and that he might be a talent to watch but I am not sure | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
But Girls Trip, on the other hand, takes us back into the world | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
Definitely back into the lighter territory! | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
We've got Queen Latifah in this, Jada Pinkett Smith, Tiffany Haddish, | :26:31. | :26:32. | |
Regina Hall, four college friends who go to New Orleans | :26:33. | :26:35. | |
Too bad all that pent-up energy is going to waste. | :26:36. | :26:52. | |
Mmmm. Oh! | :26:53. | :26:54. | |
What was that, Sasha? What was that you were saying | :26:55. | :26:55. | |
about pent-up energy? You texted him? | :26:56. | :26:57. | |
I did. Never doubt a boss. | :26:58. | :26:59. | |
You get some, girl! You, too. | :27:00. | :27:13. | |
Yes! It is all of those things, | :27:14. | :27:25. | |
definitely silly and funny. It has a sort of relentless joie | :27:26. | :27:34. | |
de vivre, a bubbliness It was pretty difficult to find | :27:35. | :27:37. | |
a clip we could play out. What is most interesting about it, | :27:38. | :27:44. | |
and this is what people are picking up on, its characters | :27:45. | :27:48. | |
are four contemporary, successful, confident black woman | :27:49. | :27:50. | |
and you do not have enough It is not an Oscars movie, | :27:51. | :27:53. | |
it's not an issues movie. Tt is joyfully frothy and silly | :27:54. | :27:59. | |
which is why it is refreshing. It is a bit predicatably clunky | :28:00. | :28:05. | |
at times but this effervescence We will definitely see | :28:06. | :28:08. | |
more movies like this. It has been a big hit in the States | :28:09. | :28:11. | |
and this will change things. That is interesting | :28:12. | :28:18. | |
because I was thinking how much Then I'm thinking it's bad | :28:19. | :28:21. | |
that I even think that because that is the last time | :28:22. | :28:25. | |
I watched a film that focused You think that and you think my | :28:26. | :28:28. | |
goodness, the fact that even resonates with you shows | :28:29. | :28:35. | |
what a paucity there is of that Absolutely, and Hidden Figures | :28:36. | :28:38. | |
is great but it is the Oscar-worthy It is deliberately frothy and flimsy | :28:39. | :28:42. | |
and everyone is having fun It is there to give you a good time, | :28:43. | :28:48. | |
as is for younger viewers, Captain Underpants, which Mark | :28:49. | :28:53. | |
was raving about last week. I could've chosen Dunkirk | :28:54. | :28:57. | |
but everyone has said how great Dunkirk is, I do not | :28:58. | :29:06. | |
need to add to that, Captain Underpants, not | :29:07. | :29:08. | |
a Christopher Nolan movie, It's a DreamWorks animation, | :29:09. | :29:12. | |
based on the bestselling books. A couple of best mates hypnotise | :29:13. | :29:16. | |
the school principal into believing he is this superhero | :29:17. | :29:19. | |
called Captain Underpants. It is a bit knowing, | :29:20. | :29:21. | |
has that knowing wink, that self-reflexive | :29:22. | :29:27. | |
quality that adults like. If you just want some jokes | :29:28. | :29:32. | |
about pants, though, The main antagonist is called | :29:33. | :29:34. | |
Professor Poopypants. Yes, that says it all, | :29:35. | :29:43. | |
that is all we need to know. For anyone who wants to stay in this | :29:44. | :29:47. | |
week what movie have you picked I'm going to choose Life | :29:48. | :29:51. | |
which is a sci-fi film about astronauts bringing back | :29:52. | :29:58. | |
a Martian life form to Earth. The life form starts out as a single | :29:59. | :30:00. | |
cell organism but then grows into something much | :30:01. | :30:04. | |
more intimidating. Immediately when you watch this, | :30:05. | :30:06. | |
you're thinking Alien and Ridley Scott and there's | :30:07. | :30:08. | |
a lot of similarites. It is not as good but | :30:09. | :30:10. | |
a lot of similarities. I would say watch it | :30:11. | :30:13. | |
for Jake Gyllenhaal, who's probably the main star, | :30:14. | :30:17. | |
with Rebecca Ferguson and Ryan Jake Gyllenhaal always brings this | :30:18. | :30:19. | |
melancholy to what he does. His character is really | :30:20. | :30:24. | |
interesting, does and says some It is familiar as a science-fiction | :30:25. | :30:27. | |
movie but Jake Gyllenhaal makes it See you next week, James, | :30:28. | :30:31. | |
good to have you with us. This is Breakfast, | :30:32. | :30:40. | |
with Naga Munchetty and Ben Coming up before seven, | :30:41. | :31:02. | |
we'll get the weather with Sarah. But first, a summary of this | :31:03. | :31:05. | |
morning's main news. President Trump's aide has resigned | :31:06. | :31:14. | |
after days of public infighting Mr Trump has replaced his Chief | :31:15. | :31:16. | |
of Staff Reince Priebus with John Kelly, a former | :31:17. | :31:20. | |
military general. One official said he'd been hired | :31:21. | :31:22. | |
with the goal of bringing more Mr Priebus said he still supported | :31:23. | :31:25. | |
the Trump administration. This is about the president, it is | :31:26. | :31:40. | |
about moving his agenda forward. I think he made a smart decision with | :31:41. | :31:44. | |
General John Kelly and I think he will do a great job. I am looking | :31:45. | :31:50. | |
forward to the future. I will always be a Donald Trump fan. I am part of | :31:51. | :31:56. | |
his team. I look forward to helping him achieve his goals and his agenda | :31:57. | :32:00. | |
for the American people. We will talk about that later on in the | :32:01. | :32:02. | |
programme. Violence has broken out | :32:03. | :32:05. | |
in East London during protests about the death of a man, | :32:06. | :32:07. | |
Rashan Charles, who was apprehended Fireworks and bottles were thrown | :32:08. | :32:10. | |
at officers in the Dalston area The Independent Police Complaints | :32:11. | :32:15. | |
Commission is investigating the circumstances surrounding | :32:16. | :32:17. | |
the 20-year-old's death. 11 -month-old Charlie Gard has died | :32:18. | :32:26. | |
after his life-support was switched off at a hospice. His condition | :32:27. | :32:34. | |
grabbed the attention of many around the world, including Pope Francis. | :32:35. | :32:37. | |
Nearly a quarter of shops are breaking the law, | :32:38. | :32:39. | |
by selling knives to underage people, some | :32:40. | :32:41. | |
That's according to new figures from The Local Government Association | :32:42. | :32:45. | |
which says some retailers, including two supermarket chains, | :32:46. | :32:47. | |
With knife crime at its highest level in six years in England and | :32:48. | :33:02. | |
Wales, retailers are under increasing pressure to do more to | :33:03. | :33:06. | |
tackle the problem. Local Trading Standards teams tried to buy knives | :33:07. | :33:13. | |
earlier this year. One in four shops they visited were found to be | :33:14. | :33:18. | |
selling knives to people under-age. Seven out of 29 retailers, including | :33:19. | :33:22. | |
two major supermarkets, in areas like Devon, Somerset, and Bristol, | :33:23. | :33:28. | |
sold a blade to a person under 18. They included a machete, a lock | :33:29. | :33:33. | |
knife, and kitchen knives. Last year, similar test purchasers were | :33:34. | :33:38. | |
carried out by London Trading Standards, with eight nights a month | :33:39. | :33:42. | |
being sold to children as young as 13. Safety campaigners are now | :33:43. | :33:48. | |
calling for tougher rules. Tougher rules and should be applied. If they | :33:49. | :33:51. | |
continue to do this, they should be punished and put out of business. It | :33:52. | :33:57. | |
is illegal to sell knives to anyone under the age of 18, but in | :33:58. | :34:03. | |
Scotland, 16- 18-year-old is can buy a kitchen knife bulky cutlery. Shops | :34:04. | :34:09. | |
doing this face six months in prison bulky a fine of up to ?5,000. -- or. | :34:10. | :34:15. | |
The Local Government Association says more needs to be done to stop | :34:16. | :34:23. | |
lives being put at risk, and shops need to put up higher safety checks. | :34:24. | :34:26. | |
BBC News. More than 50 MPs have backed calls | :34:27. | :34:28. | |
for urgent improvements The British Infrastructure Group | :34:29. | :34:31. | |
wants automatic compensation for families who do not get | :34:32. | :34:34. | |
the internet speeds they pay for. Ofcom says it's already taking firm | :34:35. | :34:38. | |
and wide-ranging action The BBC's longest running | :34:39. | :34:40. | |
medical drama Casualty The entire episode has been filmed | :34:41. | :34:45. | |
on a single camera in real time. It's a first for British | :34:46. | :34:49. | |
TV, and marks the end You can watch it tonight | :34:50. | :34:52. | |
at 9:05 on BBC One. Sir, I would imagine that even | :34:53. | :35:10. | |
though it is filmed with just one take, just one camera, making the | :35:11. | :35:15. | |
process quicker, the actual filming, the planning would have made that | :35:16. | :35:20. | |
much longer. -- so. You have to hit every mark, get everything right. | :35:21. | :35:28. | |
And rehearsals. Just an example, he did one of his videos in one take | :35:29. | :35:34. | |
and it took three months of planning and three weeks of rehearsals going | :35:35. | :35:38. | |
through the same thing, getting everyone to do the right thing at | :35:39. | :35:42. | |
the right time. Even if you are not a fan of Casualty, even if you | :35:43. | :35:48. | |
haven't watched it for years, it would be great to watch that. Time | :35:49. | :35:51. | |
flies. It is lovely. Hello. Waiting for years and years, that is | :35:52. | :36:08. | |
what Toby Roland-Jones has done. But he did not choke, oh, no, he didn't. | :36:09. | :36:17. | |
Talk about taking your chance when it finally comes, | :36:18. | :36:20. | |
Toby Roland-Jones took four South African wickets in his first | :36:21. | :36:22. | |
eight overs in test cricket on a dramatic day at The Oval. | :36:23. | :36:26. | |
A brilliant century from Ben Stokes reached with consecutive sixes, | :36:27. | :36:28. | |
helped England to a first innings total of 353. | :36:29. | :36:31. | |
Former captain, Alastair Cook, also scored 88. | :36:32. | :36:33. | |
And then it was all about Toby Roland-Jones, | :36:34. | :36:35. | |
making his test debut and ripping through the South African batsmen, | :36:36. | :36:38. | |
with a little help from Jimmy Anderson, | :36:39. | :36:40. | |
At the close, the tourists were in real trouble on 126 | :36:41. | :36:44. | |
It is very helpful when you have got guys with the experience of Jimmy | :36:45. | :36:55. | |
and Stuart. They were calming, guiding me through the opening few | :36:56. | :36:57. | |
overs. It was great. Great Britain have added | :36:58. | :37:00. | |
a fourth swimming gold, to the their tally at the World | :37:01. | :37:02. | |
Aquatics Championships in Budapest. The men's 200 metres, | :37:03. | :37:05. | |
freestyle relay team, of Stephen Milne, Nick Grainger, | :37:06. | :37:07. | |
Duncan Scott, and James Guy, successfully defended, | :37:08. | :37:09. | |
their title with Guy, swimming the anchor leg, | :37:10. | :37:11. | |
taking GB from third to first. What a great swim for all of us. For | :37:12. | :37:30. | |
me, the night was just about getting back and having a good time with the | :37:31. | :37:32. | |
boys. Carl Frampton's fight | :37:33. | :37:34. | |
with Andres Gutierrez is off after a freak accident lead | :37:35. | :37:36. | |
to the Mexican having to withdraw Before all that, Frampton weighed | :37:37. | :37:39. | |
in one pound over the nine stone limit, meaning the fight wouldn't | :37:40. | :37:44. | |
be, a world title eliminator. Then, later in the evening, | :37:45. | :37:47. | |
Gutierrez slipped in the shower causing some awful injuries, | :37:48. | :37:49. | |
meaning the fight has I am disappointed, gutted. It was a | :37:50. | :38:10. | |
freak accident. It is unfortunate. You cannot really write things like | :38:11. | :38:19. | |
this. I was just seeing Gutierrez there. There was absolutely no way | :38:20. | :38:29. | |
he could box. Physically, I don't think he should be allowed to box, | :38:30. | :38:31. | |
and he isn't. There you go. Rugby League's Challenge Cup, | :38:32. | :38:37. | |
has reached the semi-final stage, with both matches live | :38:38. | :38:39. | |
on BBC TV this weekend. Salford take on Wigan tomorrow, | :38:40. | :38:42. | |
but this afternoon, last year's winners, Hull FC, face Leeds Rhinos, | :38:43. | :38:45. | |
at Doncaster's Keepmoat Stadium. Rhinos won the competition in 2014 | :38:46. | :38:47. | |
and 2015, have won the last eight They are capable of being almost | :38:48. | :39:02. | |
unplayable at times. They have a really physical team. If they want | :39:03. | :39:10. | |
to do it, and if they decide to do it, and things go well for them, | :39:11. | :39:16. | |
they can do the best. But I would say the same about us. | :39:17. | :39:23. | |
England's suffered an agonising defeat, | :39:24. | :39:24. | |
in the Wheelchair Rugby League World Cup final. | :39:25. | :39:26. | |
Leading by a couple of points, with just over two minutes | :39:27. | :39:29. | |
remaining, hosts, France, scored to repeat their victory over | :39:30. | :39:32. | |
American, Christie Kerr, leads the women's Scottish Open | :39:33. | :39:36. | |
The world number 14, who has two major championship wins | :39:37. | :39:40. | |
to her name, hit three birdies and almost one eagle | :39:41. | :39:43. | |
England's Georgia Hall is the best place Briton. | :39:44. | :39:46. | |
She's level par with a share of seventh on the leaderboard. | :39:47. | :39:51. | |
It's one of the most daring and spectacular sports of all, | :39:52. | :39:54. | |
and this weekend, the top acrobats in the country are in Liverpool, | :39:55. | :39:57. | |
for the British Rhythmic and Acrobatic Gymnastic | :39:58. | :39:59. | |
The team are fresh from picking up a gold medal at the World Games last | :40:00. | :40:04. | |
week, and I went to the new Spelthorne Gym in Middlesex to find | :40:05. | :40:08. | |
out how what they do is humanly possible. | :40:09. | :40:16. | |
Defying the laws of gravity, in fact, defying all of those thoughts | :40:17. | :40:24. | |
about what is possible for human beings. Gymnasts working together | :40:25. | :40:29. | |
with extraordinary courage, balance, and strength. It is like being in a | :40:30. | :40:36. | |
forest of human beings. Amazing shapes. Acrobatics first came to the | :40:37. | :40:45. | |
UK from Russia in 1976 as a way of pushing to miss to new extremes. And | :40:46. | :40:52. | |
crucially, allowing them to work together. It is incredible they can | :40:53. | :40:57. | |
hold this form. It is spectacular to watch. It is a combination of | :40:58. | :41:02. | |
acrobatics, dancing, gymnastics, everything, working as a team. It | :41:03. | :41:07. | |
pushes them to the limit. They can push themselves acrobatically, with | :41:08. | :41:12. | |
dance, mentally, physically. And it teaches them to work together. This | :41:13. | :41:18. | |
club in Middlesex has a new club to train in, and they are hoping it | :41:19. | :41:23. | |
will increase their numbers to 3000, from preschool beginners to world | :41:24. | :41:29. | |
champions. It is scary. There is trust involved. You need it for it | :41:30. | :41:35. | |
to work. You are world champions. You make it look difficult. How hard | :41:36. | :41:40. | |
is it? It is not too bad. How long have you been there? A long time. 40 | :41:41. | :41:51. | |
minutes. 40 hours! 40 hours! 20 hours a week practising. It takes a | :41:52. | :41:56. | |
lot of work to get to that standard. You can't do it half-heartedly. You | :41:57. | :42:06. | |
need to concentrate, not just on the top, but on the bottom. They have a | :42:07. | :42:12. | |
head start getting to the Olympics because they are already included in | :42:13. | :42:17. | |
youth Olympics. Sorry I was not a more steady support. You are working | :42:18. | :42:25. | |
as a team. You are seeing them bond. It is so much a group being. | :42:26. | :42:28. | |
Beginners have to start somewhere no matter what their rage is. -- age. | :42:29. | :42:36. | |
It is so much fun. Even a basic moves like the front circle. -- | :42:37. | :42:52. | |
move. Of course, it is all about trusting your team and your base, | :42:53. | :42:58. | |
especially when it comes to the finale of the platform straight | :42:59. | :43:13. | |
jump! Oh, cheers, guys. Yeah, sure, laugh. They should have left you | :43:14. | :43:21. | |
there! They did for a while! We will talk a lot more about it because we | :43:22. | :43:25. | |
have so many questions, but we are moving on at the moment. | :43:26. | :43:26. | |
There's been more upheaval in President Trump's White House. | :43:27. | :43:29. | |
Yesterday, we told you how his new Communications Director had | :43:30. | :43:32. | |
Last night, the Chief of Staff was replaced. | :43:33. | :43:36. | |
So, what's going on in the West Wing? | :43:37. | :43:38. | |
Let's talk to Jesse Byrnes, from the US political website, | :43:39. | :43:40. | |
Good morning to you. Let's get through the details. It is quite | :43:41. | :43:54. | |
confusing and changes all the time. The first question is the latest | :43:55. | :43:57. | |
firing, resignation, call it what you will. Was he pushed? Did he | :43:58. | :44:06. | |
jump? Reince Priebus says he submitted his resignation to Donald | :44:07. | :44:09. | |
Trump, but there has been a lot of internal turmoil. Anthony | :44:10. | :44:13. | |
Scaramucci, this swaggering Wall Street financier, he has just come | :44:14. | :44:20. | |
in. There has been a lot of conflict between him and Reince Priebus. They | :44:21. | :44:31. | |
are calling this a resignation, but it is clearly Reince Priebus being | :44:32. | :44:34. | |
forced out. As has become the norm, this was announced on Twitter. Do we | :44:35. | :44:39. | |
know whether Reince Priebus was actually informed before the tweet | :44:40. | :44:42. | |
from the president was published? He was arriving at Andrews Air Force | :44:43. | :44:49. | |
Base just outside Washington earlier that evening. That is when the tweet | :44:50. | :44:56. | |
eventually went out. Our understanding is they had a | :44:57. | :45:00. | |
co-ordinated announcement coming but the impression based on seeing them | :45:01. | :45:05. | |
on the tarmac, Reince Priebus getting in a car with a couple of | :45:06. | :45:12. | |
Trump aides, that vehicle in the motorcade separating from the rest | :45:13. | :45:15. | |
of the presidential vehicles, it gave the impression that maybe they | :45:16. | :45:19. | |
were not as unified, they did not know they were on the same page, | :45:20. | :45:24. | |
when that tweet was sent out. What do we know about the styles within | :45:25. | :45:30. | |
the party and where everyone sits in the party? | :45:31. | :45:35. | |
Reince Priebus is the former Republican National Committee | :45:36. | :45:39. | |
Chairman, so essentially he was the leader of the party itself and he | :45:40. | :45:45. | |
has deep ties with Paul Ryan, Speaker of the House, both are from | :45:46. | :45:49. | |
Wisconsin. He's kind of gone up through the ranks in the Republican | :45:50. | :45:54. | |
Party so for him to enter the administration and serve in such an | :45:55. | :45:59. | |
integral role as Chief of Staff, a lot of lawmakers, especially | :46:00. | :46:02. | |
Republicans still reticent about Trump or disagree with him on so | :46:03. | :46:06. | |
many issues, they thought that was a reassuring sign to have Reince | :46:07. | :46:09. | |
Priebus in such a senior role. Now he's out there is a big question | :46:10. | :46:16. | |
about who fills that void. John Kelly, the retired 4-star Marine | :46:17. | :46:19. | |
general who is now the Chief of Staff, he is widely respected among | :46:20. | :46:23. | |
Republican lawmakers, but there's the question of how much control he | :46:24. | :46:27. | |
will have over Trump in that new position. It's interesting you | :46:28. | :46:33. | |
talked about maybe some of the style of Mr Scaramucci and it's | :46:34. | :46:35. | |
interesting because we've heard from him, he spoke to the BBC earlier | :46:36. | :46:40. | |
this week, and it's about his style and how he wants to run things at | :46:41. | :46:44. | |
the White House and that's the bit that maybe came into conflict with | :46:45. | :46:47. | |
Mr Priebus. Let's have a quick listen at what he told the BBC | :46:48. | :46:49. | |
earlier this week. One of the things I can't stand | :46:50. | :46:53. | |
about this town is the backstabbing that went on. Where I'm from in the | :46:54. | :46:57. | |
neighbourhood I came from we are front stabbers, we like to tell you | :46:58. | :47:03. | |
exactly where we're from. That concept of front stabbers and back | :47:04. | :47:08. | |
stabbers, he named Mr Priebus as one of the people leaking information to | :47:09. | :47:12. | |
the press and that's maybe why it's the time to go he thought. Is that | :47:13. | :47:19. | |
right? The thing with front stabbing and backstabbing, it's interesting, | :47:20. | :47:23. | |
he spoke with the New Yorker and he floated the idea of leaking the idea | :47:24. | :47:29. | |
Priebus would be pushed out of the White House or would resign shortly. | :47:30. | :47:33. | |
Mixed messages there in terms of what he is trying to say and who he | :47:34. | :47:38. | |
is trying to say it to. They do have total different styles. You would | :47:39. | :47:42. | |
expect the Chief of Staff of any White House to be the one hiring and | :47:43. | :47:46. | |
firing people. In this administration that playbook goes | :47:47. | :47:49. | |
out the window. Trump is ultimately the one who hires and fires and | :47:50. | :47:53. | |
that's extended now it seems to Scaramucci who has a broader control | :47:54. | :47:57. | |
over not just the White House communications staff but broader | :47:58. | :48:01. | |
control of the messaging and some of the strategy that Trump is employing | :48:02. | :48:05. | |
in just the first week he has been there. Fascinating stuff. Really | :48:06. | :48:15. | |
good to speak to you. Mr Priebus yesterday said the president wanted | :48:16. | :48:18. | |
to go in a different direction. All change at the White House. | :48:19. | :48:22. | |
Never ever makes us board and all change in the weather as well. Sarah | :48:23. | :48:28. | |
has taken a look. Tell me it is all change because it's been very | :48:29. | :48:34. | |
changeable? Very changeable, that's right, changeable weather | :48:35. | :48:37. | |
continuing. Low pressure still in charge, so a bit of a sense of deja | :48:38. | :48:42. | |
vu. Sunny spells, scattered showers and it is still relatively cool for | :48:43. | :48:46. | |
the time of year but don't write the weather off this weekend, some | :48:47. | :48:49. | |
sunshine around and this is how we start in Bedford this morning. Blue | :48:50. | :48:54. | |
skies. Many central parts seeing a lot of blue sky and sunshine. To the | :48:55. | :48:58. | |
far south we have a weather front sitting in the English Channel and | :48:59. | :49:01. | |
that will bring rain at times to southern England in particular. | :49:02. | :49:05. | |
Further north, scattered showers for north-western parts of Scotland and | :49:06. | :49:08. | |
northern Northern Ireland but further south some sunshine for the | :49:09. | :49:11. | |
likes of Belfast through the morning. One or two light showers | :49:12. | :49:14. | |
popping up through parts of northern England and Wales. Down to the | :49:15. | :49:18. | |
south-west there is some drier and brighter weather but the rain is | :49:19. | :49:22. | |
pushing in from the south as we head through the morning and that rain | :49:23. | :49:26. | |
also pushing into parts of Kent and Sussex. For the Oval, the third test | :49:27. | :49:30. | |
continues, should be dry through the morning but we have that increasing | :49:31. | :49:34. | |
cloud bringing outbreaks of rain during the afternoon. The rain in | :49:35. | :49:37. | |
southern England, a frontal system sitting in the English Channel and | :49:38. | :49:41. | |
shifting its way further north through the day so wet weather right | :49:42. | :49:45. | |
across southern England into south Wales. Further north, sunny spells, | :49:46. | :49:49. | |
scattered showers and temperatures today around 17 to 22. Into the | :49:50. | :49:55. | |
evening, as the rain in the south pushes further north and east we | :49:56. | :49:59. | |
will see wet weather across all of England and Wales as we go through | :50:00. | :50:02. | |
the night. Certainly won't have to water the garden tomorrow. Further | :50:03. | :50:06. | |
showers continuing in the far north-west with temperatures | :50:07. | :50:09. | |
overnight around 13 to 15. Through the day tomorrow we lose the worst | :50:10. | :50:13. | |
of the wet weather from the east and then a return to sunny spells, | :50:14. | :50:21. | |
scattered blustery showers and maybe the odd rumble of thunder and | :50:22. | :50:24. | |
temperatures again up to 22. Low pressure staying in charge into the | :50:25. | :50:27. | |
new working week so scattered showers in the north and west but | :50:28. | :50:30. | |
dry by Monday towards the south-east. Thanks very much, we | :50:31. | :50:31. | |
will speak to you in a short while. We'll be back with the headlines | :50:32. | :50:34. | |
at 7am, it's time now for Click. And this week, the largest | :50:35. | :50:58. | |
hack-fest on the planet. If there's one week of stuff | :50:59. | :51:19. | |
in Vegas that isn't staying in Vegas, it's this week's BSides, | :51:20. | :51:24. | |
Black Hat and notorious This is the week where hackers rub | :51:25. | :51:26. | |
up against law enforcers and everyone peeks over each other's | :51:27. | :51:34. | |
shoulders and networks. So, let's get straight | :51:35. | :51:37. | |
into the action. Daniel here has got an extra piece | :51:38. | :51:44. | |
of software running allowing him to hear what's being typed | :51:45. | :51:50. | |
on the other end of a Skype call. The software during a Skype call | :51:51. | :51:54. | |
learns how your keyboard sounds like and if you later | :51:55. | :52:01. | |
during the call type something sensitive, like a password | :52:02. | :52:03. | |
or e-mail, we can understand what you've typed using machine | :52:04. | :52:06. | |
learning algorithms. This is because each key has | :52:07. | :52:10. | |
a unique fingerprint based on the position of the | :52:11. | :52:12. | |
key on the keyboard. The suggested results | :52:13. | :52:18. | |
from what our victim might be typing As you can see, it's spotted every | :52:19. | :52:20. | |
word except one but when asked to choose the words to make | :52:21. | :52:26. | |
the most likely sentence, He is not just our victim, | :52:27. | :52:29. | |
he's also a security researcher who is here to keep Click on track | :52:30. | :52:35. | |
with a hacker's view of the conferences for the next | :52:36. | :52:38. | |
couple of episodes. Hello, Scott. | :52:39. | :52:41. | |
Hello. So, the technology | :52:42. | :52:45. | |
is still quite young. It took a bit of setup to make this | :52:46. | :52:52. | |
work but technology advances quite quickly and things that | :52:53. | :52:56. | |
are difficult today will probably We have seen some things | :52:57. | :52:58. | |
like this before as well. I looked at a hack recently | :52:59. | :53:02. | |
where they could measure the vibrations in a crisp | :53:03. | :53:04. | |
packet to record my voice. So I think in the future, | :53:05. | :53:07. | |
things and technologies like this could be quite bad because it's | :53:08. | :53:10. | |
going to allow people to extract a lot more information | :53:11. | :53:14. | |
from our devices. It seems like the hackers are always | :53:15. | :53:15. | |
going to find new and interesting It was me and two other | :53:16. | :53:20. | |
friends, just a bit of fun. I manipulate people's | :53:21. | :53:26. | |
feelings, thoughts. We tried to break into | :53:27. | :53:31. | |
our school's network. We could control people's | :53:32. | :53:38. | |
screens, change passwords. I got arrested for Misuse | :53:39. | :53:43. | |
of Computer Act, 1990, I can't name the company | :53:44. | :53:45. | |
but they lost a lot of money. This is definitely a way to get | :53:46. | :53:55. | |
ahead of the curve and to stop anyone from possibly taking | :53:56. | :53:58. | |
a misinformed choice This is the UK's first | :53:59. | :54:00. | |
reboot camp for hackers. The first seven through the doors, | :54:01. | :54:15. | |
aged 16-20, all intend to change their ways, | :54:16. | :54:23. | |
so we've agreed to keep Rehab includes spotting moments | :54:24. | :54:25. | |
when they might be tempted to cross the line of what's | :54:26. | :54:34. | |
legal and what's not. That looks like I could get | :54:35. | :54:36. | |
everyone's details. Your parents will not have any idea | :54:37. | :54:38. | |
how you do what you do. Solomon Gilbert was caught | :54:39. | :54:42. | |
as a teenage offender. Now he's the one giving | :54:43. | :54:46. | |
the lecture is, in between I was getting drawn into making | :54:47. | :54:49. | |
my own malicious code, making my own exploits, | :54:50. | :54:57. | |
stealing things like credit card I wouldn't do anything with them, | :54:58. | :54:59. | |
but it ended up with me getting kicked out of school | :55:00. | :55:10. | |
and arrested and looked into by the counterterrorism | :55:11. | :55:12. | |
intelligence unit. What were the key moments | :55:13. | :55:14. | |
that changed your path? Everyone in the cyber security | :55:15. | :55:18. | |
industry has one person that they've met that's gone, well, | :55:19. | :55:21. | |
you're very talented at this, Cyber Security Challenge UK has set | :55:22. | :55:24. | |
up a capture the flag competition so that teenagers can | :55:25. | :55:34. | |
show off their skills. Several large companies are here | :55:35. | :55:36. | |
to talk future job opportunities. UK hasn't got enough | :55:37. | :55:42. | |
people to protect itself. Businesses, the nation, | :55:43. | :55:45. | |
individual accounts, we all need protecting | :55:46. | :55:48. | |
and that's why we exist. We know they're there, | :55:49. | :55:52. | |
we need to find them. These offenders know | :55:53. | :55:56. | |
this is a second chance, one they didn't realise | :55:57. | :55:58. | |
they were so well qualified for. I was more interested in the dark | :55:59. | :56:01. | |
side, back when I was young. I wasn't really looking | :56:02. | :56:05. | |
at the good side. The dark side was mainly | :56:06. | :56:13. | |
just attacks, attacks, attacks, not thinking | :56:14. | :56:15. | |
about defending. Well, now I know that it exists, | :56:16. | :56:17. | |
it sounds like something that I'd really, really like to go | :56:18. | :56:21. | |
into because you get the same, like, rush, the same excitement, | :56:22. | :56:23. | |
but you're doing it for fun, still, but it's legal | :56:24. | :56:26. | |
and you get paid. Humans have been using handprints | :56:27. | :56:29. | |
to identify themselves These ones here, the Hands | :56:30. | :56:47. | |
Across Time just outside Las Vegas, in Red Rock, are | :56:48. | :56:54. | |
hundreds of years old. They're some of the earliest | :56:55. | :56:59. | |
examples of native Americans In recent years we've started | :57:00. | :57:01. | |
to use our hands to identify us again, and Dan's been finding out | :57:02. | :57:11. | |
how secure they might be. At Bristol Robotics Lab, | :57:12. | :57:14. | |
they're taking an interest Now, if you're sensitive to flashing | :57:15. | :57:17. | |
lights, look away now. Is that more secure, then, | :57:18. | :57:20. | |
than just using your fingerprint? With a fingerprint, it's | :57:21. | :57:33. | |
a small region of the hand. Obviously with this system we're | :57:34. | :57:38. | |
getting the whole surface and that, combined with the vein structure, | :57:39. | :57:42. | |
just add an extra layer of security. Do you think this could be spoofed? | :57:43. | :57:46. | |
I think it's unlikely. Research recently showed the ability | :57:47. | :57:48. | |
to extract fingerprints or handprints off | :57:49. | :57:54. | |
celebrities from a distance. From photos? | :57:55. | :57:56. | |
From photos. So, you could use that to generate | :57:57. | :58:00. | |
a 3-D surface but you still wouldn't have the vein structure | :58:01. | :58:03. | |
on the back of the hand. That would be very | :58:04. | :58:06. | |
difficult to hack. In Chicago, some people | :58:07. | :58:08. | |
are already using their palm From September, TSB will be | :58:09. | :58:12. | |
the first bank in Europe to adopt retina scan technology as a way | :58:13. | :58:26. | |
of accessing online bank accounts, although initially customers | :58:27. | :58:29. | |
will need a Samsung Galaxy S8 In May, the Chaos Computer Club | :58:30. | :58:32. | |
in Germany posted this video, fooling the S8's iris | :58:33. | :58:51. | |
scanner using a photograph TSB and Samsung are hoping that | :58:52. | :58:54. | |
others won't go to that At the CyLab Biometrics | :58:55. | :59:01. | |
centre in Pittsburgh, they've developed a system that can | :59:02. | :59:10. | |
identify the irises of people moving in a crowd from up | :59:11. | :59:13. | |
to 12 metres away. But if the eyes don't have it, | :59:14. | :59:16. | |
the face just might. Back at Bristol Robotics Lab, | :59:17. | :59:20. | |
this 3-D face scanner is using a technique they've | :59:21. | :59:26. | |
developed called Photometric stereo. Two invisible lights | :59:27. | :59:31. | |
flash at high speed, allowing the camera to capture | :59:32. | :59:33. | |
the orientation, shape and texture So far, it has a 95% accuracy rate | :59:34. | :59:36. | |
but that's good enough to attract They are working with Cubic, | :59:37. | :59:42. | |
which develops the Oyster card, contactless payment system used | :59:43. | :59:53. | |
in London's trains and buses. It's being part funded | :59:54. | :59:55. | |
by the British government to innovate gateless technologies, | :59:56. | :59:57. | |
allowing passengers to simply walk You can imagine, if you can get rid | :59:58. | :00:00. | |
of the gate line in a place like Victoria Station, | :00:01. | :00:09. | |
there's a massive potential So we ran quite an interesting | :00:10. | :00:11. | |
project for them, which they are now installing at their laboratory | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
in Salford and the aim is to move it on to the Underground | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
so that the system will recognise people and you get rid of the gates | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
and it will allow people to go Now, this is a is a prototype | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
but we have been told that the system will recognise | :00:27. | :00:35. | |
even a pair of glasses. So, let's see if it | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
knows who I am now. Look at that, you can see my name | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
come up right there. Just walk around, the face | :00:41. | :00:47. | |
is the key to doing everything And just to double-check, | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
I've tried to fool it with this guy. It recognises me, but this is very | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
clearly an impostor. This face clearly isn't | :01:00. | :01:11. | |
going to get me anywhere. Of course we'll be back with more | :01:12. | :01:37. | |

Sunshine and lost -- blustery showers. More information in 15 | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
minutes. Thank you. President Trump's aide has resigned | :03:40. | :03:39. | |
after days of public infighting at the White House and repeated | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
failures by his administration to fulfil their key | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
election pledges. Mr Trump has replaced his Chief | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
of Staff Reince Priebus, with John Kelly, a former general | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
who's been in charge of the Department | :03:52. | :03:53. | |

another day in the Trump presidency. Reince Priebus is the latest senior | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
figure in the White House The shortest serving Chief | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
of Staff in history. He is being replaced | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
by a retired four-star general. General John Kelly is currently | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
in charge of Homeland Security. Donald Trump revealed | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
he was replaced at the end Earlier, they travelled together | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
to an event in Long Island, where Donald Trump lavished a lot | :04:23. | :04:33. | |
of praise on John Kelly. John Kelly has done an amazing job | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
as Secretary of Homeland Security. It was when he was heading back | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
to the White House that Donald Trump There was a time when | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
they seemed so close. Ever since the election, | :04:46. | :04:59. | |
the right-hand man, Reince Priebus, rarely far from | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
the president's side. But he said after several | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
days of discussions, The President wanted to go | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
in a different direction. The President has a right to change | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
directions and hit a reset button. I think it is a good time to do | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
so and he was right to do so. It is something that I think | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
the White House needs. I think it is healthy | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
and I support him in it. Asked about an interview | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
in which he was described by the new White House | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
Communications Chief, Anthony Scaramucci, as "a paranoid | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
schizophrenic," Reince Priebus said "He didn't want to | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
get into the mud." Next week, a new | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
general is in charge. Violence has broken out | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
in East London during protests about the death of a man, | :05:49. | :05:56. | |
Rashan Charles, who was apprehended Bottles and fireworks were thrown | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
at officers in the Dalston The Independent Police Complaints | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
Commission is investigating the circumstances surrounding | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
the death of the 20-year-old. Dan Johnson was at | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
the scene last night. A tense night in part | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
of East London. A fleet of police riot vans faces | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
a burning barricade. Hundreds of officers were sent | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
to force people back. After a peaceful protest earlier | :06:19. | :06:34. | |
in the day ended in violence. It is just past midnight and things | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
have started to calm down and many There are still quite | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
a lot of police officers This was sparked by the death | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
of Rashan Charles, a 20-year-old Officers say he tried | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
to swallow something. There was a struggle | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
and he became ill. Just over an hour later, | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
Rashan Charles was declared dead. He's the third young man | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
to lose his life after being stopped They are angry and they are confused | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
as they are not represented They have to carry knives and sell | :07:07. | :07:16. | |
drugs because they are They are forced into a situation | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
where they don't understand life. They don't want to | :07:21. | :07:29. | |
work for the system. It was concern and anger | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
at the system that last night Police say whatever | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
the frustrations, this is not what the family of | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
Rashan Charles wanted. Dan Johnson, BBC News, | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
Hackney, London. We saw the pictures in your report. | :07:42. | :07:56. | |
It is more calm this morning. Yes. There has been a big cleanup. These | :07:57. | :08:07. | |
were some of the bins wheeled onto the road and set on fire last night. | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
You can see the remains of a mattress that was set on fire in the | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
middle of the road. This is where it was placed right across the street. | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
You can make out the scorch marks on the road. There were broken bottles | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
and debris. That has been cleared up. Things are apparently getting | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
back to normal. This was a flashpoint. The focus was on this | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
street in Hackney in east London. Just over there was the shop where | :08:35. | :08:41. | |
Rashan Charles was stopped by police last week. That is where he became | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
ill and was dead when he made it to tell. You can see some of the | :08:47. | :08:55. | |
pictures and candles. -- made it to hospital. Later today, his family | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
will appear at the police station, joined by the family of another | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
young man who died after being stopped by police a few weeks ago in | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
London. That has been the concern. By the family has appealed for none | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
of these events to turn hostile. -- but the. They are working with the | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
independent police commission which is investigating these deaths. They | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
say they are making progress. They have spoken to witnesses. The family | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
are appealing for things to stay calm while they try to establish | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
exactly what the circumstances were. There was a message put out by the | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
police last night saying there officers have been subjected to | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
abuse and violence. This is not what the family wanted. A difficult night | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
for the police here. It looks like no one was injured. We don't believe | :09:48. | :10:00. | |
anyone was arrested either. OK, Dan, thank you very much. We will be back | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
with Dan a bit later. 11-month-old, Charlie Gard, | :10:04. | :10:04. | |
has died after his life support His parents gave up their fight | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
to have his genetic condition treated in America during | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
a High Court case earlier this week. Charlie's condition grabbed | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
the attention of many around Our medical correspondent, | :10:15. | :10:16. | |
Fergus Walsh, has more. This is Charlie Gard | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
without breathing or feeding tubes. Born apparently healthy, but soon, | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
a devastating genetic condition emerged which causes | :10:23. | :10:24. | |
progressive muscle weakness. By his side throughout | :10:25. | :10:26. | |
have been his parents, Charlie was transferred | :10:27. | :10:28. | |
from intensive care at Great Ormond Street Hospital, | :10:29. | :10:42. | |
where he'd spent ten months, to a hospice, where | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
he died earlier today. They'd fought a lengthy battle | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
to keep Charlie alive, refusing to accept he had suffered | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
catastrophic brain damage. And they raised funds online | :10:51. | :10:52. | |
for experimental treatment Great Ormond Street applied to court | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
to end Charlie's life support, At the UK Supreme Court, | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
with Charlie's parents sitting behind, the hospital's barrister | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
said his suffering should end. An American doctor offering to treat | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
Charlie with this experimental powder had not seen his full medical | :11:08. | :11:09. | |
records and it took six months before he came to | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
London to examine him. Finally, on Monday, | :11:14. | :11:21. | |
at the High Court, Charlie's parents abandoned their legal | :11:22. | :11:23. | |
fight to keep him alive, Our son is an absolute warrior | :11:24. | :11:25. | |
and we could not be prouder of him His body, heart, and soul may soon | :11:26. | :11:46. | |
be gone, but his spirit will live on for eternity, and he will make | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
a difference to people's lives A private family tragedy | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
was fought out in public. Even the location and timing | :11:56. | :12:04. | |
of Charlie's death became Doctors and nurses at | :12:05. | :12:06. | |
Great Ormond Street, one of the world's most renowned | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
children's hospitals, received abuse and even death | :12:13. | :12:21. | |
threats, which Charlie's parents Charlie died a week | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
before his first birthday. His parents said they were sorry | :12:25. | :12:26. | |
they could not save him but would set up a foundation in his | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
name to help other sick children. Let's talk about some | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
of the issues the case raised with Dominic Wilkinson, | :12:34. | :12:43. | |
Professor of Medical Ethics Good morning. Thank you very much | :12:44. | :12:51. | |
for joining us on Breakfast. Our thoughts are with his parents this | :12:52. | :12:58. | |
morning, of course. What many people will have found significant with | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
this case is the battle the parents had with medical staff and deciding | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
the treatment Charlie Gard should have had. What are your thoughts? | :13:08. | :13:15. | |
Well, these decisions, these very difficult decisions that his parents | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
faced are ones that many parents face. Unfortunately, there are | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
serious illnesses that affects children as well as adults. Many of | :13:28. | :13:34. | |
them can be treated. But some of them, we reached the limits of what | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
current medical technology can achieve. There are 55 children taken | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
to intensive care units every day in the United Kingdom. Two of those | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
children will not survive to go home. So, families are very familiar | :13:48. | :13:55. | |
with it. Many watching this morning, this weekend, will feel particularly | :13:56. | :14:02. | |
for Charlie Gard's family, because they faced the same discussions, the | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
same awful questions about when to say enough is enough. Now, those | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
decisions are almost always made together in partnership with | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
families and doctors. Occasionally, there are disagreements that cannot | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
be resolved. And, unfortunately, there is a need to be able to | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
resolve those. That is what the court does, and did in this case. Do | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
you think a court battle could have been avoided? Well, I think it is | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
very difficult to say looking back. I think everyone wishes there was a | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
way to avoid this long and painful protracted and very public dispute. | :14:44. | :14:50. | |
I think it is very important as health professionals, as a system, | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
as a community, that we look to avoid a repeat of this situation, to | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
help professionals to communicate better with families, to listen to | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
their concerns and their crops, to help mediate problems and | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
communication breakdowns. -- their hopes. To fix things in a way that | :15:13. | :15:20. | |
is fast and fair to families, health professionals, and of course, that | :15:21. | :15:21. | |
are focused on the child. You mentioned the number of children | :15:22. | :15:30. | |
admitted and those that don't make it through, when these discussions | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
happen, how much training is given to the doctors such as the ones at | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
Great Ormond Street to be able to deal with this situation and to | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
prepare parents? That's a very good question. There is training | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
available, places like Great Ormond Street, the staff will have | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
undertaken training as part of their in tents in their qualifications. | :15:54. | :16:00. | |
However, I think there is more that could be done and should be done for | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
all doctors, but perhaps especially those doctors who work at the front | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
line with critically ill children to prepare them and to give them the | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
skills they need to help communicate very difficult, sad and bad news and | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
to listen to parents, to help understand their point of view, to | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
help try and reach agreement in the care of children. In this day of | :16:27. | :16:34. | |
social media, where news is often sourced from social media, where | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
opinions are expressed, there is a backlash against the doctors at | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
Great Ormond Street and at one point the parents of Charlie Gard did say | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
they condemn the violent actions and the harsh words that were levied at | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
the doctors. Do you think there is anyway of keeping something like | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
this private or even accurate in terms of what is happening in such a | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
high profile case like this? That's another good question. In many court | :17:06. | :17:15. | |
cases like this the courts make it an order where the identity of the | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
trial and the family and the health professionals should be protected. | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
In this case the family had already been engaged with the media and so | :17:25. | :17:31. | |
the court allowed the child and the family's identity to be released, | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
not the health professionals involved. Clearly where cases have | :17:35. | :17:42. | |
got too much public attention there is going to be public discussion and | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
the difficulty is much of that discussion may not be in the | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
knowledge of all of the medical details. I think these are very | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
medically complex and ethically complex discussions, it's very | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
difficult from afar to know what the right thing is, much as people would | :18:01. | :18:07. | |
feel for the family in this situation, it's very difficult to | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
know without all of the facts. One of the things that the hospital | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
grappled with in this case that other hospitals grapple with is the | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
need to respect the family and the child's confidentiality, but also be | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
able to provide facts so that some of the discussion can be informed by | :18:27. | :18:34. | |
real details rather than incorrect details. The hospital in this case. | :18:35. | :18:42. | |
In some of the court hearings release, public statements of the | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
hospital position, that make for actually very sobering reading and | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
were very helpful and other hospitals might take that on board | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
in the future. Dominic Wilkinson, professor of medical ethics at | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
Oxford University, thank you for your time this morning. A sensitive | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
subject and of course our thoughts are with Chris Gard and Connie | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
Yates, the parents of Charlie Gard, who died eight few days short of his | :19:09. | :19:10. | |
first birthday. Here's Sarah with a look at the | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
weather this morning. Got a clear skies in many parts of | :19:14. | :19:21. | |
the country to start the day, some sunshine around but things are going | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
to turn damp in some parts of the country later in the day. This is | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
how things look this morning in Devon, thank you to our Weather | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
Watcher for sending in this picture. Some sunshine in many parts of the | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
country to start the morning but we've also got a weather front | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
sitting through the English Channel, that will bring more cloud and rain | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
to southern parts of England in particular later this morning and | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
further north some scattered showers pushing in across northern parts of | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
Northern Ireland into northern and western Scotland. As we go south, | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
some spells of the trunk, the odd shower in parts of northern England | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
and Wales but actually many places avoiding these showers this morning. | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
Cloudier skies in the south-west, there is the rain pushing in from | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
the south, largely dry and bright in the Midlands in towards East Anglia | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
but in the far south-east, a bit more cloud. As the third test | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
continues at the Oval, should be dry through this morning but in the | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
afternoon there's the chance of outbreaks of rain and the breeze | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
picking up thanks to this weather front in the south which will push | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
its way northwards. Later this morning and into this afternoon, | :20:26. | :20:28. | |
rain in much of southern England heading to the Midlands and maybe | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
south Wales. To the north of that, still sunny spells but scattered | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
blustery showers on the south-westerly breeze. Temperatures | :20:36. | :20:41. | |
today 17 to 22 degrees. Pretty much average or a bit below but feeling | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
cooler with the breeze and the outbreaks of rain. Into the evening | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
and overnight we will see wet weather spreading across England and | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
Wales for a time, slowly clearing to the east during the early hours of | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
Sunday and we will continue to see that feed showers into the far | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
north-west. Temperatures holding between 13-15 for most of us. What | :21:01. | :21:07. | |
about tomorrow? Not a bad day, still low pressure in charge but we losing | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
this weather front to the east bringing more persistent rain away | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
and then we are back into the same regime we have seen for a few days, | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
sunny spells and scattered, blustery showers and the heaviest most | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
frequent will be in northern and western part is, some rumbles of | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
thunder here and then they will drift slowly east through the day | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
tomorrow but the far south-east should stay dry for quite a good | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
part of the day. Not bad conditions for the cycling event, Ride London, | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
a bit of a breeze and the chance of a few showers later. Low pressure | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
stays with us as we head into the new working week so on into Monday, | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
no great changes, sunny spells and scattered showers once again but | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
most showers will be in the north-west and a hint of things | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
turning drier and brighter at least for a time in the south-east. Thanks | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
very much, Sarah. I was looking at the map and along the English | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
Channel it looks Badat the moment, we are going to talk about travel | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
for many people and the winds are pretty strong? That's right, it's | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
blustery, not a great day for the varied to France, quite a bit of | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
rain around and blustery. It will clear away so slowly improving with | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
the weather. Thanks grown much. Interesting we picked up on that | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
because we have Simon Calder with us, the travel editor for the | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
independent. Today is the busiest day for driving in France but it | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
looks like people might have problems getting there to get on the | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
road. In the last few minutes I have been checking P ferries, the | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
biggest operator between Dover and Calais, they have been saying they | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
have delays of four hours partly due to technical problems, and the | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
weather we have been hearing about, the Met Office has issued a severe | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
gale warning for the Dover area, which takes you obviously a cross to | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
Calais, so good luck getting there. P are saying get to the port and | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
we will put you on the next available very. You get a freaky or | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
copy on board, though. No point delaying it, get there and they will | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
try to fit people on? -- free tea or coffee. What about the wildfires in | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
France for the people evacuated? They will be lots of families trying | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
to get to Calais heading south on the busiest day for motorists. The | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
French authorities warning of extremely difficult habit conditions | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
and when you get to the south of France, we've seen over the past few | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
days these awful wildfires sweeping across the south mostly between | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
Toulon and St Tropez -- traffic conditions. Halfway between | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
Marseille and Nice. St Tropez a busy area right now? Yes, heaving with | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
people. All the French people who take their holidays in July still | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
finishing their holidays and the French people who take their | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
holidays in August heading down. Clearly a lot of damage and | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
disruption and most of the main transport arteries seem to be OK but | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
they will be local problems and the Foreign Office is saying to monitor | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
local media and follow the advice of the local authorities. The only | :24:10. | :24:12. | |
airline that is saying if you have something but we will help you and | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
you might be able to change your destination is easyJet, they are | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
saying give us a call if your plans have changed because of the | :24:21. | :24:23. | |
destruction. How easy is it to change your plans if you have booked | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
a hotel? Not easy at all but if your campsite has temporarily closed or | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
your hotel isn't functioning then you will be able to switch your | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
destination but it's very tricky. We understand the government has lifted | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
its ban on travel to Tunisia. That was after lots of terror problems | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
there. Are you expecting people to take confidence in this? Let's | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
remind ourselves of the awful sequence of events, Tunisia was the | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
place the Arab Spring began in 2010 and it appeared to have a peaceful | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
transition but in 2015 in March there was an attack on a museum | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
outside Juniors and 22 people died including 20 tourists. Then two | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
years ago on the beach at Sousse, 28 people died when a gunman went on | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
the rampage including 30 British holidaymakers -- tune is. In the | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
wake of that the British government said we are going to move everyone | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
out, there was an airlift, it's been on the no-go list ever since | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
although some people have been going back. 10,000 British people so far | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
this year, your travel insurance until now hasn't been valid and | :25:31. | :25:33. | |
there are package holidays being offered. We've seen Spain get | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
particularly busy because of a lack of terror risk so people have been | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
put off going to Tunisia and Egypt, Turkey included as well, and we have | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
seen prices moving accordingly. I've been conducting a poll on social | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
media, 1300 responses, only 8% of people say great, can't wait to get | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
back to Tunisia but tellingly perhaps a larger percentage saying | :26:00. | :26:02. | |
we will see what happens to the prices. There won't be any | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
large-scale package holidays for the rest of this year, big package | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
holidays will be starting as early as February half term but I think | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
prices, in order to encourage people to go back, will be low to begin | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
with. Always good to talk to you to rattle through many destinations. | :26:20. | :26:23. | |

A charity football match at QPR's Loftus Road has been announced | :26:29. | :26:31. | |
to support the victims of the Grenfell Fire | :26:32. | :26:33. | |
It'll feature ex-professionals, celebrities and musicians including | :26:34. | :26:36. | |
Mumford and Sons frontman Marcus Mumford. | :26:37. | :26:38. | |
Tickets for the game in September, called 'Game four Grenfell', | :26:39. | :26:40. | |
I've been talking about it to Nicholas Burton, a Grenfell | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
survivor, and also to Marcus Mumford, who began | :26:45. | :26:46. | |
by telling me about what he saw the night the fire started. | :26:47. | :26:55. | |
I, like many people in the area, I live locally and I woke up that | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
Wednesday morning and saw the fire out my window and loads of people | :27:02. | :27:07. | |
ran down and started off at Clement James, one of the community centres | :27:08. | :27:10. | |
down there, and I was privileged enough to be in the room to meet | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
some of the survivors and Nick was the first of either I met | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
officially. Day four or five? At Clement James? And then once we | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
started listening and being around then we felt like we couldn't leave | :27:25. | :27:30. | |
and there was a lot to be done. So I don't think we listen and not in our | :27:31. | :27:36. | |
culture so a lot of it has just been about listening to people's needs | :27:37. | :27:39. | |
and trying to represent them to people who can make a difference and | :27:40. | :27:44. | |
then also just listen in terms of how we can help ongoing. It's going | :27:45. | :27:49. | |
to be a long process and we're in it for the long haul, but Nick's become | :27:50. | :27:53. | |
a friend. Yeah, there's positive things. There's a lot to be done but | :27:54. | :28:00. | |
positive things as well. You were on the 19th floor when the fire took | :28:01. | :28:05. | |
hold in the flower? Yeah, my wife and I were asleep on the 19th floor | :28:06. | :28:10. | |
and one of our neighbours banged on the door so I went to investigate | :28:11. | :28:16. | |
and there was just a wall of black smoke and my wife wasn't too well so | :28:17. | :28:20. | |
I thought we wouldn't make it down the 38 flights of stairs. So we had | :28:21. | :28:26. | |
to wait for the fire brigade to come and rescue us, which was about two | :28:27. | :28:30. | |
and a half hours into the fire. One can't imagine what you went through, | :28:31. | :28:35. | |
how is your wife now and your health? I'm much better. My wife's | :28:36. | :28:43. | |
still in hospital but we're getting there, that's the most important | :28:44. | :28:47. | |
thing. Of course we wish you well, Nicholas, and all of those who were | :28:48. | :28:51. | |
in the tower who are surviving and trying to get on with your lives and | :28:52. | :28:56. | |
Marcus, you mentioned it's about talking and making friends and | :28:57. | :28:58. | |
supporting each other. What support is needed now do you think, Marcus? | :28:59. | :29:04. | |
I think that we're really looking forward to supporting children in | :29:05. | :29:08. | |
the wider community because there are concentric circles about this | :29:09. | :29:11. | |
thing, there's survivors of the tower, people that escaped the fire, | :29:12. | :29:16. | |
in the middle of it, and their needs are unique but then of course | :29:17. | :29:19. | |
there's people who lived locally who saw a lot that night that they | :29:20. | :29:23. | |
should never see so they're going to need support ongoing and then beyond | :29:24. | :29:27. | |
that the wider community's been affected, there's kids in schools | :29:28. | :29:31. | |
who knew other kids in the tower who have been hospitalised or lost who | :29:32. | :29:34. | |
need support ongoing as well. There's various ways we can support. | :29:35. | :29:38. | |
Nick will be able to speak about the needs of the community better than | :29:39. | :29:42. | |
me but it's about seeing what you can do and then acting on that. | :29:43. | :29:47. | |
Nick, please do take up the mantle, what's the community asking for at | :29:48. | :29:52. | |
the moment? Well, the community's been absolutely amazing. I came out | :29:53. | :29:56. | |
of hospital and just to see what was going on with everybody, nobody | :29:57. | :30:01. | |
organising them, they just came out with pure love and just gave. | :30:02. | :30:06. | |
They've been supporting us in all different manners. I mean, even | :30:07. | :30:12. | |
having Marcus around and the support that he's given myself and everybody | :30:13. | :30:16. | |
else, it's just been fantastic. We need to keep it in focus. There's a | :30:17. | :30:23. | |
lot going on behind the scenes and the support for the families and the | :30:24. | :30:30. | |
wider community is... They still need help. We need time to actually | :30:31. | :30:35. | |
come to terms with what happened and we need time to actually focus on | :30:36. | :30:46. | |
ourselves, time to understand the true philosophy of this. The ripples | :30:47. | :30:52. | |
are all over the country from what happened at Grenfell. We wish you | :30:53. | :30:56. | |
well of course, Nicholas. But as this football match begins, or is | :30:57. | :31:01. | |
being prepared for September, September the second. Markers, | :31:02. | :31:05. | |
perhaps the idea of that you be our German Tony Fernandez but it's not | :31:06. | :31:09. | |
just about those supporting QPR, it's happening at Loftus Road? We're | :31:10. | :31:13. | |
not really allowed to talk about it but he's a Chelsea fan and on a | :31:14. | :31:18. | |
Wimbledon fan. QPR have been amazing in this process, insisting this | :31:19. | :31:22. | |
isn't about them, this is about the community and it's an opportunity to | :31:23. | :31:26. | |
put something on that people can look forward to. It's not the only | :31:27. | :31:29. | |
thing that's going on, there's loads of really great things going on, the | :31:30. | :31:34. | |
community centres on the ground and the volunteers, places like the | :31:35. | :31:37. | |
mosque and the churches have been amazing and there's lots going on in | :31:38. | :31:41. | |
the response to this tragedy. But this is... And by no means does this | :31:42. | :31:45. | |
event mean we're sweeping anything under the carpet, there's ongoing | :31:46. | :31:50. | |
issues around housing and around justice and around supporting the | :31:51. | :31:53. | |
families who are relieved. There's so much to be done but this is just | :31:54. | :31:57. | |
one opportunity for the community to come together and enjoy some | :31:58. | :32:01. | |
football and have the kids doing the free programme over the summer have | :32:02. | :32:05. | |
something to look forward to at the end of it and it's just one example | :32:06. | :32:09. | |
that I think we can help serve the community so we want people to come, | :32:10. | :32:13. | |
we want people to buy tickets and it's going to be a good day out. | :32:14. | :32:20. | |
A lovely pair of men who got together from Mumford and Sons. | :32:21. | :32:36. | |
Stay with us. Headlines are coming up soon. | :32:37. | :33:41. | |

But first, a summary of this morning's main news. | :33:47. | :33:50. | |
President Trump's aide has resigned after days of public infighting | :33:51. | :33:53. | |
Mr Trump has replaced his Chief of Staff Reince Priebus | :33:54. | :33:57. | |
with John Kelly, a former military general. | :33:58. | :34:08. | |
One official said he'd been hired with the goal of bringing more | :34:09. | :34:12. | |
Mr Priebus said he still supported the Trump administration. | :34:13. | :34:15. | |
This is about the president, it is about moving his agenda | :34:16. | :34:18. | |
I think he made a smart decision with General John Kelly and I think | :34:19. | :34:22. | |
I look forward to helping him achieve his goals and his agenda | :34:23. | :34:33. | |
Violence has broken out in East London during protests | :34:34. | :34:36. | |
about the death of a man, Rashan Charles, who was apprehended | :34:37. | :34:39. | |
Fireworks and bottles were thrown at officers in the Dalston area | :34:40. | :34:44. | |
The Independent Police Complaints Commission is investigating | :34:45. | :34:46. | |
the circumstances surrounding the 20-year-old's death. | :34:47. | :34:53. | |
11-month-old Charlie Gard has died after his life-support was switched | :34:54. | :34:56. | |
His condition grabbed the attention of many around the world, | :34:57. | :35:00. | |
Nearly a quarter of shops are breaking the law, | :35:01. | :35:11. | |
by selling knives to underage people, some | :35:12. | :35:13. | |
That's according to new figures from The Local Government Association | :35:14. | :35:22. | |
which says some retailers, including two supermarket chains, | :35:23. | :35:24. | |
More than 50 MPs have backed calls for urgent improvements | :35:25. | :35:36. | |
The British Infrastructure Group wants automatic compensation | :35:37. | :35:39. | |

The BBC's longest running medical drama Casualty | :35:45. | :35:49. | |
The entire episode has been filmed on a single camera in real time. | :35:50. | :35:53. | |
It's a first for British TV, and marks the end | :35:54. | :35:56. | |
You can watch it tonight at 9:05 on BBC One. | :35:57. | :36:04. | |
This whole episode of Casualty was filmed all in one go, | :36:05. | :36:12. | |
so that is one continuous shot with one hand-held camera | :36:13. | :36:15. | |
Filming a storyline with real-time action throws up all manner | :36:16. | :36:25. | |
It is the closest the show can get to reflect the NHS | :36:26. | :36:35. | |
It took two weeks of rehearsals for the cast and crew, | :36:36. | :36:49. | |
and eight full-length takes were filmed. | :36:50. | :36:50. | |
It is the last one of those which will make it | :36:51. | :36:53. | |
Casualty is on BBC One at 9:05 tonight. You can find out how they | :36:54. | :37:11. | |
got on. Imagine if you forgot your line or if someone said I did not | :37:12. | :37:15. | |
record. That is impressive, only eight takes! Anyway. Talking about | :37:16. | :37:25. | |
those who wait and good things to come... | :37:26. | :37:32. | |
Talk about taking your chance when it finally comes, | :37:33. | :37:35. | |
Toby Roland-Jones took four South African wickets in his first | :37:36. | :37:38. | |
eight overs in test cricket on a dramatic day at The Oval. | :37:39. | :37:41. | |
A brilliant century from Ben Stokes reached with consecutive sixes, | :37:42. | :37:44. | |
helped England to a first innings total of 353. | :37:45. | :37:46. | |
Former captain, Alastair Cook, also scored 88. | :37:47. | :37:48. | |
And then it was all about Toby Roland-Jones, | :37:49. | :37:50. | |
making his test debut and ripping through the South African batsmen, | :37:51. | :37:53. | |
with a little help from Jimmy Anderson, | :37:54. | :37:55. | |
At the close, the tourists were in real trouble on 126 | :37:56. | :37:59. | |
It is very helpful when you have got guys with the experience | :38:00. | :38:13. | |
They were calming, guiding me through the opening few overs. | :38:14. | :38:17. | |
Great Britain have added a fourth swimming gold, | :38:18. | :38:29. | |
to the their tally at the World Aquatics Championships in Budapest. | :38:30. | :38:32. | |
The men's 200 metres, freestyle relay team, | :38:33. | :38:34. | |
of Stephen Milne, Nick Grainger, Duncan Scott, and James Guy, | :38:35. | :38:36. | |
successfully defended, their title, with Guy swimming the anchor leg, | :38:37. | :38:39. | |
For me, the night was just about getting back and having a good | :38:40. | :38:53. | |
Carl Frampton's fight with Andres Gutierrez is off | :38:54. | :39:04. | |
after a freak accident lead to the Mexican having to withdraw | :39:05. | :39:07. | |
Before all that, Frampton weighed in one pound over the nine stone | :39:08. | :39:12. | |
limit, meaning the fight wouldn't be, a world title eliminator. | :39:13. | :39:15. | |
Then, later in the evening, Gutierrez slipped in the shower | :39:16. | :39:18. | |
causing some awful injuries, meaning the fight has | :39:19. | :39:20. | |
You cannot really write things like this. | :39:21. | :39:40. | |
There was absolutely no way he could box. | :39:41. | :39:44. | |
Physically, I don't think he should be allowed to box, | :39:45. | :39:47. | |
Mackerel and dangerous places, can't they? -- Showers can be. | :39:48. | :40:12. | |
Rugby League's Challenge Cup, has reached the semi-final stage, | :40:13. | :40:14. | |
with both matches live on BBC TV this weekend. | :40:15. | :40:16. | |
Salford take on Wigan tomorrow, but this afternoon, last year's | :40:17. | :40:19. | |
winners, Hull FC, face Leeds Rhinos, at Doncaster's Keepmoat Stadium. | :40:20. | :40:22. | |
Rhinos won the competition in 2014 and 2015, have won the last eight | :40:23. | :40:25. | |
They are capable of being almost unplayable at times. | :40:26. | :40:29. | |
If they want to do it, and if they decide to do it, | :40:30. | :40:34. | |
and things go well for them, they can beat the best. | :40:35. | :40:37. | |
England's suffered an agonising defeat, | :40:38. | :40:47. | |
in the Wheelchair Rugby League World Cup final. | :40:48. | :40:49. | |
Leading by a couple of points, with just over two minutes | :40:50. | :40:52. | |
remaining, hosts, France, scored to repeat their victory over | :40:53. | :40:54. | |
It looks set to be an intriguing battle for pole position this | :40:55. | :41:02. | |
afternoon when qualifying gets under way for the Hungarian Grand Prix | :41:03. | :41:05. | |
after Red Bull's, Daniel Ricciardo was fastest in practice yesterday. | :41:06. | :41:07. | |
Three-time World Champion, Lewis Hamilton, wasn't far off | :41:08. | :41:10. | |
the pace, but his Mercedes car didn't look as dominant as it has | :41:11. | :41:13. | |
Fellow Briton, Jolyon Palmer, had a day to forget, | :41:14. | :41:16. | |
though, crashing twice with his F1 future becoming increasingly | :41:17. | :41:19. | |
American, Christie Kerr, leads the women's Scottish Open | :41:20. | :41:27. | |
The world number 14, who has two major championship wins | :41:28. | :41:31. | |
to her name, hit three birdies and almost one eagle | :41:32. | :41:34. | |
England's Georgia Hall is the best place Briton. | :41:35. | :41:37. | |
She's level par with a share of seventh on the leaderboard. | :41:38. | :41:44. | |
It's one of the most daring and spectacular sports of all, | :41:45. | :41:47. | |
and this weekend, the top acrobats in the country are in Liverpool, | :41:48. | :41:51. | |
for the British Rhythmic and Acrobatic Gymnastic | :41:52. | :41:53. | |
The team are fresh from picking up a gold medal at the World Games last | :41:54. | :41:57. | |
week, and I went to the new Spelthorne Gym in Middlesex to find | :41:58. | :42:01. | |
out how what they do is humanly possible. | :42:02. | :42:14. | |
Defying the laws of gravity, in fact, defying all of those | :42:15. | :42:17. | |
thoughts about what is possible for human beings. | :42:18. | :42:19. | |
Gymnasts working together with extraordinary courage, | :42:20. | :42:21. | |
It is like being in a forest of human beings. | :42:22. | :42:31. | |
Acrobatics first came to the UK from Russia in 1976 as a way | :42:32. | :42:42. | |
And crucially, allowing them to work together. | :42:43. | :42:46. | |
It is incredible they can hold this form. | :42:47. | :42:48. | |
It is a combination of acrobatics, dancing, gymnastics, | :42:49. | :42:56. | |
They can push themselves acrobatically, with dance, | :42:57. | :43:05. | |
And it teaches them to work together. | :43:06. | :43:14. | |
This club in Middlesex has a new club to train in, | :43:15. | :43:17. | |
and they are hoping it will increase their numbers to 3000, | :43:18. | :43:20. | |
from preschool beginners to world champions. | :43:21. | :43:25. | |
It takes a lot of work to get to that standard. | :43:26. | :43:51. | |
You need to concentrate, not just on the top, | :43:52. | :44:00. | |
They have a head start getting to the Olympics | :44:01. | :44:04. | |
because they are already included in youth Olympics. | :44:05. | :44:06. | |
Sorry I was not a more steady support. | :44:07. | :44:12. | |
Beginners have to start somewhere no matter what their age is. | :44:13. | :44:21. | |
Even a basic move like the front circle. | :44:22. | :44:25. | |
Of course, it is all about trusting your team and your base, | :44:26. | :44:28. | |
especially when it comes to the finale of the platform | :44:29. | :44:31. | |
At least the view was good up there. I got to see all of them moves. How | :44:32. | :45:20. | |
long were you up there? It seemed like forever. Someone was standing | :45:21. | :45:25. | |
on your head. Much harder than it looked. How hard was that? It hurt | :45:26. | :45:34. | |
my shoulders. I wasn't a good foundation. But it shows how strong | :45:35. | :45:41. | |
they are. It takes years and years of dedication. Just quickly, next | :45:42. | :45:46. | |
week, the World Athletics Championships. The last four a | :45:47. | :45:50. | |
special commentator. -- for. If you're outside and not indoors | :45:51. | :46:05. | |
today you need to listen to Sarah, what's going on? Good morning, | :46:06. | :46:10. | |
things not looking too bad today for many parts, some rain in the | :46:11. | :46:14. | |
forecast, especially in the south but sunshine as well. Here's the | :46:15. | :46:18. | |
view in Devon, not going to stay that way for too long with the cloud | :46:19. | :46:22. | |
rolling in from the south so a weather front sitting through the | :46:23. | :46:25. | |
English Channel today so quite blustery winds with some outbreaks | :46:26. | :46:28. | |
of rain and that rain creeping further north as we go through the | :46:29. | :46:32. | |
morning. Further north in Scotland and Northern Ireland, some spells of | :46:33. | :46:38. | |
sunshine but also... The further south-east you move across the | :46:39. | :46:42. | |
region it's looking a bit drier but you could catch a few showers in | :46:43. | :46:46. | |
parts of northern England and into Wales with some drier, brighter | :46:47. | :46:49. | |
spells in between so quite quiet this morning into the south-west but | :46:50. | :46:52. | |
we have the rain lingering through the Isles of Scilly and the Channel | :46:53. | :46:56. | |
Islands creeping northwards but the Midlands and East Anglia should be | :46:57. | :47:00. | |
largely dry and write this morning and it should be drier and brighter | :47:01. | :47:04. | |
at the Oval as the third test continues but during the afternoon | :47:05. | :47:07. | |
we have the cloud building building outbreaks of rain -- bringing. | :47:08. | :47:10. | |
Blustery winds as well so interrupting play at the Oval. The | :47:11. | :47:14. | |
band of rain in the south will creep north across all of southern England | :47:15. | :47:18. | |
at times as we head into the afternoon and to the north of that | :47:19. | :47:23. | |
it is the mix of sunnier spells but also some scattered showers, | :47:24. | :47:26. | |
especially for Scotland and Northern Ireland. Temperatures around 18 to | :47:27. | :47:32. | |
22 degrees. During this evening we see the rain in the south moving | :47:33. | :47:36. | |
further northwards, certainly a spell of wet weather across all of | :47:37. | :47:39. | |
England and Wales for a time tonight. That rain slowly clearing | :47:40. | :47:43. | |
to the east through the early hours of Sunday. Temperatures first thing | :47:44. | :47:47. | |
tomorrow down to around 12 to 15 degrees. Through the day tomorrow, | :47:48. | :47:52. | |
low pressure still with us, we're getting used to this now. The first | :47:53. | :47:55. | |
area of low pressure clearing to the east and then we have low pressure | :47:56. | :47:59. | |
situated to the north-west and that will draw in Westerly or | :48:00. | :48:04. | |
south-westerly breezes, bringing further scattered heavy showers, | :48:05. | :48:08. | |
could be a thunderstorm in the north and west and those could drift | :48:09. | :48:12. | |
eastwards through the day. Most of them avoiding the south-east so | :48:13. | :48:17. | |
relatively decent conditions for RideLondon in Surrey and London | :48:18. | :48:20. | |
during the day tomorrow. We hold onto low pressure for the new | :48:21. | :48:23. | |
working week, further scattered showers in the north and west but | :48:24. | :48:26. | |
things looking eventually drier in the south-east. Back to you both. | :48:27. | :48:30. | |
When Waheed Arian was a young boy growing up in Afghanistan, | :48:31. | :48:33. | |
he witnessed the suffering and hardship of war he's | :48:34. | :48:36. | |
an emergency medic living in Chester and is using virtual reality | :48:37. | :48:39. | |
technology to try to help today's victims of violence in his homeland. | :48:40. | :48:42. | |
He's developed what he calls his tele-medicine system, | :48:43. | :48:44. | |
which allows doctors in war zones to get help and advice | :48:45. | :48:47. | |
Here's our world affairs editor, John Simpson. | :48:48. | :48:57. | |
We hear plenty of depressing stories about Afghanistan but this isn't one | :48:58. | :49:05. | |
of them. Quite the opposite in fact. Afghanistan has one of the lowest | :49:06. | :49:10. | |
standards of medical care in the world, but doctors often an very | :49:11. | :49:14. | |
highly trained and their equipment is pretty basic. But they can | :49:15. | :49:25. | |
contact Doctor Waheed Arian. An Afghan who qualified as a doctor in | :49:26. | :49:29. | |
Britain and he can give them detailed medical advice using social | :49:30. | :49:35. | |
media. From his home in Chester he takes messages day and night. He | :49:36. | :49:39. | |
calls it tele-medicine. They don't have to have up to date that they | :49:40. | :49:44. | |
don't have the up-to-date technologies and the cutting edge | :49:45. | :49:47. | |
expertise and they don't have the advanced medical based medicine so | :49:48. | :49:54. | |
need any expertise and advice that is more world-class and it's very | :49:55. | :49:58. | |
useful for them. I will take the arrow and place it... Now Waheed | :49:59. | :50:04. | |
Arian and his team are developing new ways of showing doctors there | :50:05. | :50:10. | |
what to do. It went very well. We discussed a medical case, we solve | :50:11. | :50:14. | |
the problem, it was a live medical case in one of the hospitals in | :50:15. | :50:19. | |
Kabul, Afghanistan and using augmented reality we discussed it | :50:20. | :50:23. | |
and we managed the problem. As a boy in the 1980s, Waheed had to | :50:24. | :50:29. | |
escape from the Russians, who had invaded his country. He and his | :50:30. | :50:34. | |
family were lucky to survive. When civil war flared up in Afghanistan, | :50:35. | :50:38. | |
his parents sent him on his own to Britain. He was 15 and didn't speak | :50:39. | :50:44. | |
much English, yet within four years he was studying medicine at | :50:45. | :50:48. | |
Cambridge and he became passionate about helping people in the country | :50:49. | :50:53. | |
of his birth. I've seen so much suffering in my childhood and that | :50:54. | :50:57. | |
suffering was still very vivid in my memory. I wanted to see if I could | :50:58. | :51:03. | |
help in anyway alleviate that suffering for the many people in a | :51:04. | :51:09. | |
similar position to mine as a child. Waheed doesn't get much time with | :51:10. | :51:15. | |
his family in Chester. He's taken leave of absence to develop his | :51:16. | :51:19. | |
tele-medicine ideas, but in order to pay the bills he has to work every | :51:20. | :51:26. | |
weekend as an A Doctor. Yes, he is away a lot and it can be hard and it | :51:27. | :51:31. | |
can be lonely at times when you're on your own and you're seeing all | :51:32. | :51:36. | |
the other families out. But on the other side I know he's doing amazing | :51:37. | :51:40. | |
things for humanity, he's going to be saving thousands of lives, so I | :51:41. | :51:44. | |
look at the positive. We've come a long way in just two years and we're | :51:45. | :51:48. | |
helping them places that have no other support and this is so | :51:49. | :51:52. | |
important, lives are at stake and we can help save those lives. Waheed | :51:53. | :51:56. | |
Arian has survived a lot. Helping others in Afghanistan to survive is, | :51:57. | :52:02. | |
he says, his therapy. John Simplikevich, BBC News. -- John | :52:03. | :52:06. | |
Simplikevich. We will be talking to Waheed later | :52:07. | :52:09. | |
in the programme. Viewers in the north-west of England | :52:10. | :52:12. | |
can watch the full documentary Waheed's Wars - Saving | :52:13. | :52:16. | |
Lives Across The World, It will then be available | :52:17. | :52:18. | |
on the iPlayer shortly after. We'll be back with the headlines | :52:19. | :52:28. | |
at 8am, it's time now We are taking a trip through | :52:29. | :52:31. | |
Pakistan's biggest city on a bus. This might be a bit | :52:32. | :52:51. | |
crazy along the way. This is a country that | :52:52. | :52:55. | |
some governments say Terror related incidents, | :52:56. | :52:58. | |
kidnappings and political turmoil have all taken their toll | :52:59. | :53:01. | |
on the country's reputation. And as the country prepares | :53:02. | :53:04. | |
to celebrate its 70th anniversary of independence, | :53:05. | :53:06. | |
the travel show's Benjamin Zand packed his backpack | :53:07. | :53:09. | |
and headed for Karachi. Pakistan is in the news almost | :53:10. | :53:15. | |
constantly but coverage of this area If it is not focusing | :53:16. | :53:18. | |
on the Taliban, it is about the country's differences | :53:19. | :53:23. | |
with India or cricket. But there is a lot | :53:24. | :53:27. | |
more to it than that. The country is home to over 190 | :53:28. | :53:30. | |
million people and 63% are under 25. Many of these are fun loving, | :53:31. | :53:33. | |
forward-thinking individuals Karachi is Pakistan's most dangerous | :53:34. | :53:36. | |
and notorious city but a security crackdown over the last few years | :53:37. | :53:44. | |
means it has got a lot safer, and for a traveller like myself that | :53:45. | :53:48. | |
means an experience like few others. It just might be a bit | :53:49. | :53:52. | |
crazy along the way. All right, so I have changed | :53:53. | :54:01. | |
into more suitable clothing because I want to get a taste | :54:02. | :54:04. | |
of Karachi and when you think of a tour you usually think | :54:05. | :54:08. | |
of a friendly tour guide, some foreigners, a casual | :54:09. | :54:11. | |
stroll around the city. In a city linked more with bombs | :54:12. | :54:13. | |
and guns than tourist trips, the Super Safari seems | :54:14. | :54:28. | |
a safe choice. But this is a unique kind of tour | :54:29. | :54:31. | |
bus, created to change the image of Karachi not only locally but also | :54:32. | :54:35. | |
around the world. Main aim - to help | :54:36. | :54:38. | |
Karachi's population And help the rich meet | :54:39. | :54:40. | |
the city's poorest members. In its early days each tour | :54:41. | :54:44. | |
will come with an armed guard, but as the situation has improved, | :54:45. | :54:48. | |
it is now just this Well, you know, the concept works | :54:49. | :54:50. | |
on the lines of this actually being a representation of the brides | :54:51. | :55:01. | |
of the guys who drive them. Obviously you can climb on the roof | :55:02. | :55:04. | |
and who doesn't want to climb Why do you think in a city | :55:05. | :55:08. | |
like Karachi it needs There has been a disconnect | :55:09. | :55:13. | |
between educated classes in Karachi What we have tried to do | :55:14. | :55:19. | |
is eliminate that disconnect and show everyone that the culture | :55:20. | :55:23. | |
that you have, the history that you have and the city that you live | :55:24. | :55:26. | |
in is for everybody, whether you live in a mansion | :55:27. | :55:30. | |
or you live in a slum. And do you do this because you think | :55:31. | :55:40. | |
Karachi is misrepresented and it has I will just say that there is so | :55:41. | :55:44. | |
much more to Karachi than we know. It has depth in terms | :55:45. | :55:49. | |
of the people who live here, the cultures that exist, | :55:50. | :55:58. | |
the lifestyles, the architecture, There is something special | :55:59. | :56:01. | |
about this mosque that The tour takes visitors around | :56:02. | :56:05. | |
the city in an attempt You visit mosques, Hindu temples, | :56:06. | :56:09. | |
churches, Karachi's version of the Big Ben and then | :56:10. | :56:15. | |
it is time for food. This guy says traditional | :56:16. | :56:18. | |
Pakistani breakfast. Yes, a traditional Pakistani | :56:19. | :56:27. | |
breakfast is essential. So you get chai and a type | :56:28. | :56:30. | |
of an omelette, essentially most things in Pakistan are made spicy, | :56:31. | :56:33. | |
so the same with omelettes. My stomach noticed | :56:34. | :56:38. | |
that a few days ago. You dip some of that in the chai. | :56:39. | :56:42. | |
You actually dip it in the tea? I've got soggy pieces | :56:43. | :56:46. | |
of dough in your tea. So this really could not be more | :56:47. | :57:19. | |
different from the image most people And finally this week, | :57:20. | :57:27. | |
the last of our films marking This week we're in Manitoba visiting | :57:28. | :57:37. | |
communities that rely on a fragile rail link to the rest | :57:38. | :57:41. | |
of the country. But that line's been closed | :57:42. | :57:44. | |
by damage from storms. Its owners say they cannot afford | :57:45. | :57:47. | |
to repair it and the communities may have to take over | :57:48. | :57:50. | |
the railway themselves. Oh, my goodness, I can't | :57:51. | :57:55. | |
see the communities It's been the mode | :57:56. | :57:58. | |
of travel for years. Because it's an isolated community, | :57:59. | :58:11. | |
so you have only got the train or a plane, | :58:12. | :58:15. | |
but usually everyone uses the train. They rely on it, right, because how | :58:16. | :58:18. | |
are you going to get food? It would cost too much for aeroplane | :58:19. | :58:25. | |
charters or helicopters to come in. Yes, in the winter, providing | :58:26. | :58:29. | |
you have a good winter season, we can have the winter road | :58:30. | :58:31. | |
from January to March, Spring and summer, | :58:32. | :58:34. | |
fall, it is by rail. Our elders, they all worked | :58:35. | :59:00. | |
on the rail and I was born up north Growing up here I used to go out | :59:01. | :59:04. | |
and go fishing with my grandparents and my grandmother and I would go | :59:05. | :59:20. | |
berry picking and she would cook me We enjoy watching them grow | :59:21. | :59:24. | |
up here, it is quiet. It has its challenges, | :59:25. | :59:44. | |
this is where we actually started where our family is, | :59:45. | :59:46. | |
where it actually began. Can bears eat ants? | :59:47. | :59:55. | |
Yeah. What is that? | :59:56. | :59:56. | |

Donald Trump's top White House aid has resigned after days of public | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
Earlier this week Chief of Staff, Reince Priebus, was described | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
as a paranoid schizophrenic by the President's new director | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
The new man in charge of making sure the administration runs smoothly | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
is former military general John Kelly. | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
Here's our North America Correspondent Peter Bowes. | :01:59. | :01:59. | |
Another tweet, another resignation, another day in the Trump presidency. | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
Reince Priebus is the latest senior figure in the White House | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
The shortest serving Chief of Staff in history. | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
He is being replaced by a retired four-star general. | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
John Kelly is currently in charge of the department | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
Donald Trump revealed that Reince Priebus had been replaced | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
at the end of a tumultuous week in Washington. | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
Earlier, the two men travelled together to an event in Long Island, | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
where Mr Trump lavished praise on John Kelly. | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
The President was heading back to the White House that he tweeted | :02:32. | :02:39. | |
There was a time when they seemed so close. | :02:40. | :03:02. | |
Ever since the election, the right-hand man, | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
Reince Priebus, rarely far from the President's side. | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
But he tendered his resignation on Thursday, following what he said | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
The President wanted to go in a different direction. | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
The President has a right to hit a reset button. | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
I think it's a good time to hit the reset button. | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
I think he was right to hit the reset button and I think | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
that it was something that I think the White House needs. | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
I think it's healthy and I support him in it. | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
Asked about an interview in which he was described by the new | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
White House Communications Chief, Anthony Scaramucci, as "a paranoid | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
schizophrenic," Mr Priebus said "He didn't want to get | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
Next week, a new general is in charge. | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
Violence has broken out in East London during protests | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
about the death of a man shortly after he was restrained | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
The Independent Police Complaints Commission is investigating | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
the death of 20-year-old Rashan Charles. | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
Last night, bottles and fireworks were thrown at officers | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
Dan Johnson was at the scene of last night's trouble. | :04:08. | :04:17. | |
A tense night in part of East London. | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
A fleet of police riot vans faces a burning barricade. | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
Hundreds of officers were sent to force people back. | :04:25. | :04:32. | |
After a peaceful protest earlier in the day ended in violence. | :04:33. | :04:42. | |
Well, it's just after midnight and things have started | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
A lot of people have moved away and left. | :04:47. | :04:57. | |
There are still quite a lot of police officers | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
This was sparked by the death of Rashan Charles. | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
The 20-year-old chased into a shop by police. | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
Officers say he tried to swallow something. | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
There was a struggle and he became ill. | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
Just over an hour later, Rashan Charles was declared dead. | :05:09. | :05:10. | |
He's the third young man to lose his life after being stopped | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
by police in London in just over a month. | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
They're angry and they are confused as they are not | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
They have to carry knives because they're living in fear. | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
They're forced into a situation where they don't | :05:27. | :05:36. | |
understand how to life, how to make money. | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
They don't want to work for the system. | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
It was concern and anger at the system that last night | :05:41. | :05:42. | |
Police say whatever the frustrations, this | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
is not what the family of Rashan Charles wanted. | :05:46. | :05:53. | |
11-month-old Charlie Gard has died after his life support | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
His parents gave up their fight to have his genetic condition | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
treated in America after a High Court case | :06:02. | :06:03. | |
Charlie's condition grabbed the attention of many around | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
Our Medical Correspondent, Fergus Walsh, has more. | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
This is Charlie Gard without breathing or feeding tubes. | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
Born apparently healthy, but soon, a devastating genetic condition | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
emerged which causes progressive muscle weakness. | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
By his side throughout have been his parents, | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
Charlie was transferred from intensive care | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
at Great Ormond Street Hospital, where he'd spent ten | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
They'd fought a lengthy battle to keep Charlie alive, | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
refusing to accept he had suffered catastrophic brain damage. | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
And they raised funds online for experimental treatment | :06:50. | :06:51. | |
Great Ormond Street applied to court to end Charlie's life support | :06:52. | :07:00. | |
At the UK Supreme Court, with Charlie's parents sitting | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
behind, the hospital's barrister said his suffering should end. | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
An American doctor offering to treat Charlie with this experimental | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
powder had not seen his full medical records and it took six | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
months before he came to London to examine him. | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
Finally, on Monday, at the High Court, Charlie's parents | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
abandoned their legal fight to keep him alive, saying | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
Our son is an absolute warrior and we could not be prouder of him | :07:31. | :07:38. | |
His body, heart, and soul may soon be gone, but his spirit | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
will live on for eternity, and he will make a difference | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
A private family tragedy was fought out in public. | :07:48. | :07:57. | |
Even the location and timing of Charlie's death became | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
Doctors and nurses at Great Ormond Street, | :08:00. | :08:07. | |
one of the world's most renowned children's hospitals, received abuse | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
and even death threats, which Charlie's parents condemned. | :08:11. | :08:17. | |
Charlie died a week before his first birthday. | :08:18. | :08:19. | |
His parents said they were sorry they could not save him | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
but would set up a foundation in his name to help | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
The North Korean leader, Kim Jong-Un, has said that the whole | :08:25. | :08:36. | |
of the US mainland is now within firing range | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
following his military's latest intercontinental missile test. | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
It's the second such missile to be launched by Pyongyang this month | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
and reached an altitude of more than 2,000 miles. | :08:50. | :08:51. | |
The US and South Korea has responded by carrying out a series | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
Nearly a quarter of shops are breaking the law, | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
by selling knives to underage people, some as young as 13. | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
That's according to new figures from the Local Government Association, | :09:03. | :09:04. | |
which says some retailers, including two supermarket chains, | :09:05. | :09:06. | |
Shops, retailers, can put in place processes to stop young people | :09:07. | :09:18. | |
accessing knives and we believe that more needs to be done to target | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
And long before One Direction - there was Wet Wet Wet. | :09:22. | :09:37. | |
Lead singer Marti Pellow has announced he is leaving | :09:38. | :09:46. | |
the band after 30 years, saying he plans to concentrate | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
# Love is all around me. # And so the feeling grows. | :09:49. | :10:04. | |
# It's written... Everyone will know the songs, but | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
I'm not alone in thinking that they had already broken up. Yeah. I'm | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
surprised they're still together. They were formed in the 80s. | :10:14. | :10:28. | |
They sold 15 million singles and albums around | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
the world with hits such as Goodnight Girl | :10:32. | :10:33. | |
which spent 15 weeks at number one in 1994. | :10:34. | :10:48. | |
Grant Shapps joins us. We will talk to you about Brand in a minute. One | :10:49. | :10:58. | |
of their tracks is not available on the karaoke system of which I've | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
often complained. Perhaps we should talk about | :11:05. | :11:06. | |
broadband, shall we? Broadband speed not up to speed. | :11:07. | :11:18. | |
Lots of people not getting the speeds they are paying for. What are | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
you going to do about this? There are millions of connections which | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
fall below what should be the minimum standard of ten megabits. We | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
are calling for automatic compensation in a new British | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
infrastructure group report which says it's not going to work any | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
other way. There is some voluntary scheme that when we researched it | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
for this report we discovered that not a single internet provider could | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
tell us how this voluntary compensation scheme was operating | :11:48. | :11:49. | |
and whether it was operating and how much had been paid out. We're | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
calling on Ofcom and the Government and the internet service providers | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
to get real and start to provide the kind of speeds we need in modern | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
Britain. I feel I've done this interview more about four years. | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
Every year I talk about this at least once or twice a year saying | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
our broadband speeds aren't good enough. Why am I still talking to | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
you about this? It would be wrong to recognise that things haven't been | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
moving in the right direction. I don't want to make it sound like | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
it's just universally bad, but the problem is, I think, that you've got | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
a regulator in Ofcom who are too prepared to accept the data. They | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
say there are probably only 1.5 million connection that is fall | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
below the universal, which still sounds high. We think it is higher | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
still because they don't look at what happens if a home within a | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
group of postcodes isn't getting it, they include it as receiving that | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
faster speed, but also it must be the only utility where if you don't | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
get what you're paying for, you still carry on paying and we think | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
that's wrong and that's why 57 MPs have signed up to the report from | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
the British infrastructure group of MPs to say that millions of their | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
constituents are complaining about it still and we need action and we | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
have come up with a list of proposals including for example the | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
Government using powers that it has passed in law which would enable | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
people to get compensation and set that minimum standard that everyone | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
should be entitled too. It is just more to do. There is the idea that | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
people are apathetic. It is one of the few services, we're not getting | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
it to the standard we should, we don't complain enough or we just | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
still carry on paying for it. If you're saying you're going to | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
propose fines. How much should we be able to claim? Are there any limits? | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
How soon can we start claiming this? It is the threat of money, financial | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
pain, that kick starts companies to being better? We think there are two | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
issues. There are a bunch of people, some of whom will be watching your | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
programme this morning saying we get an internet which just crawls along. | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
Those are the people who are not getting this minimum ten megabit | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
download speed, that's what should be the Universal Service Obligation | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
and then there are a bunch of people watching this who say look, I pay | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
for 50 or 24 or whatever the speed is they're paying for, but I know I | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
don't get near that. What we're saying is that Ofcom and the | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
Government should get together and create a compensation scheme that | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
work, we suggested would be modelled off the same scheme that works in | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
water, of wa says you get ?25 if you are not getting the service we're | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
providing. We have seen Ofcom have said no, no, we are looking at | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
compensation, we've consulted about it. That turns out to be whether or | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
not you are getting the speed of installation, but we are not talking | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
about that, we are talking about whether you get the speed you're | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
paying for so they are in the wrong place on this as well. We have had a | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
Government statement. It says, "This is a better offer, this universal | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
obligation. This is a better offer than any compensation package | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
because it places a legal obligation on providers to deliver the speeds | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
that families and businesses need. Not the speed of installation. The | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
Government says there is a legal obligation and that's stronger. I | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
don't quantity to take it away from them, they are headed in the right | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
direction. We were clear in our manifesto that we would have a | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
Universal Service Obligation which means that everybody would have to | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
get the minimum ten megabit speed. What I'm concerned about is that's | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
going to be fudged. There will be some industry stitch up which says | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
don't worry we're on it and we will sort it out. We have seen this time | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
and time again with internet provision, actually in the end they | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
have failed to achieve many of the targets the industry has set itself. | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
We are 20 months away from leaving Europe. We need to be a great global | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
country being able to compete. We need the best internet in the world | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
and we shouldn't be settling for anything less than that. We want to | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
see Britain with the best internet connections and an end to the idea | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
that it will be fine and the regulator accepting that it's OK. As | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
I say when we checked things like the compensation schemes that they | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
have voluntarily signed up to the internet providers, none of them | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
could provide us with any detail. You mentioned that we're leaving the | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
EU soon supposedly because the reason I use that word, we | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
interviewed the Chancellor Philip Hammond yesterday and it is becoming | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
increasingly clear that it isn't clear when we are going to | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
officially cut the cord from the EU at the moment. I'm looking at a | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
piece on the front page of the Daily Telegraph which says that the | :16:48. | :16:49. | |
general election will effectively be a second poll on the EU because of | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
the lengthy transition period that's now being proposed because plans | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
aren't in place. Your reaction to that? I voted Remain. A soft | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
remainor, but I completely accept that this country voted to leave the | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
EU. Most people just say for heaven's sake, let's just get on | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
with it. Let's get the deal in place. I don't mind if there is some | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
transition, that's perfectly reasonable. I want to see a Brexit | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
where business is able to continue to produce records numbers of jobs. | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
We voted for this. We don't need to keep revoting on it. What I want to | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
see is the Government get out there and negotiate a great deal for | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
Britain and get on with it, although I voted for remain, I can see | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
Britain has a brilliant future in the world focussed with our friends | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
in Europe and being more focussed on the rest of the world which is let's | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
face it, another seven billion people over and above those who just | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
happen to live in Europe. You say you want to see the Government get | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
on with it. So the Government isn't effectively getting on with it yet. | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
Is that fair to say? I sat in the Cabinet and I know the way these | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
things work. You need everybody to agree a position and get on and | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
actually universally, between them, deliver that same position and that | :18:08. | :18:13. | |
in itself would remove a lot of the uncertainty, give business a very | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
clear idea where it is going and deliver on what people have already | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
voted for in this country. My sense is the public are saying, "Look, we | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
have told you what we want. Whichever side of the argument | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
you're on, I was a remainor. The country has decided. Now, let's get | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
on with it, so between you as ministers and Cabinet Ministers, | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
please settle your position and we will have a stronger hand when we | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
are negotiating in Europe if we are speaking or singing from the same | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
hymn sheet. It is easy to see what the public wants. We have been | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
reflecting that on Breakfast and news. Is it fair to say from your | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
opinion as someone had has been in the Cabinet, that the members of the | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
Cabinet are not on the same page, they are not thinking as one to take | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
us through Brexit? I think that is obviously true, but it is true to | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
say that legitimately, you have different debates and negotiations | :19:06. | :19:07. | |
within Cabinet within the papers that go around through the different | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
committees of Cabinet to decide a position. But the idea is, you do | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
that and then you collectively take those things forward and what I'm | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
really saying, I guess in answer to your question is we need more | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
collective decision making and then everybody actually being prepared to | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
take that forward and that would help this country in it's Brexit | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
negotiations and also I think it would help a fairly fed up public | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
who said we have already told you what we want to do. We have already | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
had a democratic vote. Let's just get on with it this and let's get | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
the best possible deal and let's look to Europe, but actually beyond | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
Europe and make sure we can trade in the world and I think we have got a | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
positive future if we do all of that, but it does mean you want the | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
senior people, the Cabinet Ministers all saying the same thing and I | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
would definitely call on them to get their act together and start to say | :20:00. | :20:06. | |
the same thing in public. Grant Shapps thank you. You covered a lot | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
there, Brexit, broadband. And he will be listening to Wet Wet Wet | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
later today. The shock of them splitting. | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
Here's Sarah with a look at this morning's weather. | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
Here is the scene as we start the morning in Eastern Scotland. You can | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
see the well broken cloud there. So a bright morning for many of us. | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
We've got two zones of rain today. Firstly, through the English | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
Channel, we have got a weather front bringing rain. It will creep its way | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
slowly northwards and we have got low pressure sitting out to the | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
north-west of the that's bringing in scattered showers across Scotland | :20:47. | :20:48. | |
and Northern Ireland. It is mainly out to the north-west, but they will | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
creep further south and east across Scotland and Northern Ireland | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
through the day, but there will be sunshine around. Perhaps one or two | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
isolated showers. And heading into the south-west of England, there is | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
that rain lingering through the English Channel, nudging further | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
north across Cornwall and Devon too and also sitting out across the | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
coast of Kent there too. We have got bright skies at the Oval as the | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
third Test continues. There is likely to be outbreaks of rain | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
moving in during the afternoon and the breeze picking up too. So the | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
area of rain through the English Channel will nudge further north | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
across really all of southern England at times later this morning | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
and on into this afternoon. So turning wet here, but further north | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
across the country, we will keep with that theme of sunny spells and | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
scattered showers, rattling in on that brisk south-westerly breeze. | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
Temperatures today between around 17 to 22 Celsius, but feeling cooler | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
snouth where you've got the breeze and the outbreaks of rain too. Into | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
this evening then, the rain in the south pushes northwards. Across | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
England and Wales, we will see a spell of wet weather before that | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
clears to the east during the early hours of Sunday morning. Scattered | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
showers continuing towards northern and western parts of the country | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
tonight and the temperatures between 12 to 15 Celsius. So low pressure | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
really not far away. As we head into the second half of the week, this | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
first area of low pressure clears towards the east bringing rain away | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
and we have got low pressure across the north-west of the country. So we | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
are getting used to this now. A bit of deja vu. The odd thunderstorm | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
towards the north and the west. Fewer showers reaching the South | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
East on Sunday. The weather is looking decent for London and | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
Surrey. Temperatures around 21 Celsius, but there is a chance of | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
showers later in the day. And then as we head into the new working | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
week, low pressure still with us towards the north-west on Monday. So | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
that will bring further scattered showers to northern and western | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
parts of the country. Drier and brighter further south-east and a | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
hint of a bit of an improvement in the weather at least for a time | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
through the middle part of the week. Back to Naga and Ben. | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
It is a changeable weekend. Yes, no good for your golf later. I will | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
battle through! It's time now for a look | :23:01. | :23:08. | |
at the newspapers. Broadcaster and former | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
Executive Director of the FA A lot of the papers covering Charlie | :23:14. | :23:33. | |
Gard. Painful, heart-rendering coverage of the passing of Charlie | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
Gard and this article parental love is sometimes selfish and cruel. It | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
says parental love is the most selfish love of all. The writer | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
Janice Turner says that and yet you know there are so many questions. I | :23:49. | :23:56. | |
am still so uneasy at the, like I'm sure, a lot of parents and in my | :23:57. | :24:04. | |
case, grandparents are, particularly when you hear lawyers and legal | :24:05. | :24:12. | |
experts and legal advisers saying well, of course, what's in the | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
interests in the children cannot be left to parents. Now, that may well | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
be right. Is there a danger you forget about the child in all of | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
this... That's what is at the heart of this article in the Times and in | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
a number of others, but for me, it has been very, very uneasy viewing | :24:32. | :24:40. | |
and learning and has the public one wonders been educated by what they | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
have seen, but for the parents? I cannot even start to try to imagine | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
what those parents have been through. Yes. Obviously our | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
sympathies are with the parents. He died just a few days before his | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
first birthday, life support was switched off at a hospice after | :25:01. | :25:07. | |
losing that battle. Let's pick up on a story in The Daily Mail. Slow | :25:08. | :25:16. | |
broadband. We were talking to Grant Shapps, he thinks what should be | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
happening, there is a legal obligation for the broadband | :25:21. | :25:22. | |
providers to step up and provide the service that they are being paid | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
for, but with the threat of compensation or action to force | :25:27. | :25:33. | |
compensation payments that might give them a kick? Some of the papers | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
were saying it was in the Conservative manifesto that Theresa | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
May, a much maligned Conservative manifesto of the last election, that | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
consumers would get a legal right to faster broadband and the suggestion | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
that is now being made in some of the papers is that that is going to | :25:53. | :25:55. | |
be one of the things that's going to drift away. I mean there was the | :25:56. | :26:03. | |
pledge that 95% of the nation would have super fast broadband by the end | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
of dare I say it, 2017. Well, those of us who live in rural areas, let's | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
put it like that, we're still waiting for it. Some of us have a | :26:12. | :26:21. | |
dish to give us booster speeds, but it has given us some consistency | :26:22. | :26:24. | |
which is a help. There is the flip side that consumers are just so used | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
to this now and just think it is potluck that they have become | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
apathetic. You think you're paying for something and it is up to speeds | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
of and that's the crucial bit. Grant Shapps' report, there was a great | :26:41. | :26:43. | |
line in there when broadband services fail the difficulties | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
caused can be disruptive as disruptive as a power cut or a loss | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
of water supply and that's a fact. We don't necessarily treat them in | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
the same way. Now it is an essential utility rather than just a luxury. I | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
think it is fair to say that the media, we've really enjoyed what's | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
been going on with Trump and at the White House. A new Chief-of-Staff in | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
now, but interesting, you focussed on this story as well... , "Our | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
marriage is over." And Trump is the cause. He has been blamed for a loft | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
things. Some of us know something about mixed political marriages. You | :27:23. | :27:25. | |
don't want to go into detail, but we do. Here we have Mr and Mrs | :27:26. | :27:39. | |
Aaronburg. She was a supporter of president Donald Trump who feels | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
isolated in the marriage. And she has said that she wants a divorce. | :27:44. | :27:49. | |
Mr Trump is being blamed for that as well! It is extraordinary. All this | :27:50. | :28:00. | |
turmoil this week with Mr Scaramucci... There are the jokes of | :28:01. | :28:11. | |
Scaramooch. They have split up as well. It just shows what politics | :28:12. | :28:16. | |
can do. There is a theme this morning about marriage or working | :28:17. | :28:24. | |
with other halves. The BA captain and his near Mrs. This is his wife. | :28:25. | :28:32. | |
You have the legendary Simon Calder coming on later. A lot of BA | :28:33. | :28:38. | |
bashing, so I have tried to redress the balance and here we have British | :28:39. | :28:43. | |
Airways pilot Hugo and Hannah Webb says sharing a cockpit helps their | :28:44. | :28:48. | |
relationship and describes flying side by side as great fun. There is | :28:49. | :28:54. | |
another line Hugo says, "Although I introduce Hannah at the beginning of | :28:55. | :28:58. | |
the flight, I never mention she is my wife. I suppose some customers | :28:59. | :29:03. | |
may guess." How do they guess? Perhaps they catch the names? Is | :29:04. | :29:08. | |
that it? You wonder how they guess. My mind goes to that wonderful | :29:09. | :29:14. | |
programme the David Walliams and Matt Lucas show Come Fly With Me | :29:15. | :29:19. | |
with a warring couple in the cockpit. But good luck to Hugo and | :29:20. | :29:24. | |
Hannah Webb and a great story at last for British Airways! | :29:25. | :29:33. | |
When was the last time you cooked a Sunday roast, Ben? I have not had a | :29:34. | :29:38. | |
kitchen for nearly nine months. I had forgotten! When was the last | :29:39. | :29:44. | |
time you cooked a Sunday lunch? Several months ago. I don't cook | :29:45. | :29:53. | |
them very often. My contribution was small. I opened the wine and I | :29:54. | :29:57. | |
certainly helped with a pudding, I think. This thing about Sunday lunch | :29:58. | :30:06. | |
that the brunch is a bigger thing it appears to me. What and what it used | :30:07. | :30:10. | |
to be when I was brought up, you used to sit down and have a Sunday | :30:11. | :30:14. | |
lunch and have that conversation, the family conversation. I fear that | :30:15. | :30:16. | |
that has been a victim as well. Be that people want to do other | :30:17. | :30:28. | |
stuff as well. It is a long day to spend together. -- my theory. I can | :30:29. | :30:35. | |
remember my mother and my auntie spending hours cooking a Sunday | :30:36. | :30:41. | |
lunch, and I will did in a few minutes! Always good extra tatties! | :30:42. | :30:48. | |
We will be talking to you Kenny next hour. Headlines coming up, see you | :30:49. | :30:50. | |
soon. Hello, this is Breakfast, with | :30:51. | :31:54. | |
Naga Munchetty and Ben Thompson. Coming up before nine, | :31:55. | :31:56. | |
we'll get the weather with Sarah. But first, a summary of this | :31:57. | :31:59. | |
morning's main news. President Trump's top White House | :32:00. | :32:02. | |
aide has resigned after days of public infighting | :32:03. | :32:04. | |
at the White House. Mr Trump has replaced his chief | :32:05. | :32:06. | |
of staff, Reince Priebus, with John Kelly, a former military | :32:07. | :32:09. | |
general. One official said he'd been hired | :32:10. | :32:12. | |
with the goal of bringing more Violence has broken out | :32:13. | :32:15. | |
in East London during protests about the death of a man, | :32:16. | :32:23. | |
Rashan Charles, who was apprehended | :32:24. | :32:24. | |
by police a week ago. Fireworks and bottles | :32:25. | :32:26. | |
were thrown at officers in the Dalston area | :32:27. | :32:28. | |
of Hackney overnight. Dan Johnson was at the scene last | :32:29. | :32:38. | |
night, much, this morning. We have seen the awful pictures of the | :32:39. | :32:43. | |
unrest last night. Yes, the disturbances were not widespread but | :32:44. | :32:48. | |
were quite serious for a time here last night in Dalston, east London, | :32:49. | :32:52. | |
and we can give you an idea of what the scene that is the shop where | :32:53. | :32:58. | |
Rashan Charles was stopped by police last week. You can see the flowers | :32:59. | :33:02. | |
and tributes, candles there, something of a shrine that has built | :33:03. | :33:06. | |
up over the last week, and that has all built into this concern and | :33:07. | :33:10. | |
unrest, really, about the way that police deal with young men when they | :33:11. | :33:14. | |
are arrested, particularly in London. If we just turn around, we | :33:15. | :33:19. | |
can show you where things did erupt, this junction here, where protesters | :33:20. | :33:25. | |
wheeled bins into the road, they set fire to a mattress, and this is | :33:26. | :33:30. | |
where bleats of riot vans had to come, hundreds of officers sent in | :33:31. | :33:34. | |
to deal with the people who were letting off fireworks and throwing | :33:35. | :33:38. | |
bottles at the police. So although the damage has been limited, and | :33:39. | :33:41. | |
they clear up has really recovered everything already, we don't believe | :33:42. | :33:46. | |
anything was injured, and we don't understand that there were any | :33:47. | :33:50. | |
arrests here last night. It was delayed tens evening and a difficult | :33:51. | :33:53. | |
time for police, and there will a further protest later today outside | :33:54. | :33:58. | |
the local police Deschamps, the family of Rashan Charles will be | :33:59. | :34:03. | |
appearing there, along with the family of another man who died after | :34:04. | :34:06. | |
being stabbed by police in London in the last two weeks. The Independent | :34:07. | :34:16. | |
Police Complaints Commission is investigating the circumstances | :34:17. | :34:19. | |
around these deaths, and the family of Rashan Charles has appealed for | :34:20. | :34:22. | |
people to remain peaceful. Yesterday started as a peaceful protest, and | :34:23. | :34:28. | |
the family wants that to continue. The police put out a message saying | :34:29. | :34:32. | |
that officers had been subjected to abuse and violence and that whatever | :34:33. | :34:37. | |
the frustrations that is not what Rashan Charles' family wanted. Dan | :34:38. | :34:41. | |
Johnson in Hackney, thank you very much. | :34:42. | :34:43. | |
after his life support was switched off at a hospice. | :34:44. | :34:47. | |
to have his genetic condition treated in America, | :34:48. | :34:50. | |
after a High Court case earlier this week. | :34:51. | :34:53. | |
Charlie's condition grabbed the attention of many around the world, | :34:54. | :34:55. | |
Nearly a quarter of shops are breaking the law | :34:56. | :35:00. | |
by selling knives to underage people, | :35:01. | :35:03. | |
That's according to new figures from the Local Government Association | :35:04. | :35:08. | |
which says some retailers, including two supermarket chains, | :35:09. | :35:10. | |
With knife crime at its highest level in six years in England | :35:11. | :35:20. | |
and Wales, retailers are under increasing pressure to do more | :35:21. | :35:25. | |
Local Trading Standards teams tried to buy knives earlier this year. | :35:26. | :35:31. | |
Almost one in four shops they visited | :35:32. | :35:33. | |
were found to be selling knives to people underage. | :35:34. | :35:35. | |
Seven out of 29 retailers, including two major supermarkets, | :35:36. | :35:37. | |
in areas like Devon, Somerset and Bristol, | :35:38. | :35:45. | |
They included a machete, a lock knife and kitchen knives. | :35:46. | :35:51. | |
Last year, similar test purchases were carried out | :35:52. | :35:53. | |
with eight knives a month being sold to children as young as 13. | :35:54. | :36:00. | |
Safety campaigners are now calling for tougher rules. | :36:01. | :36:03. | |
If they continue to do this, they should be punished | :36:04. | :36:07. | |
It's illegal to sell knives to anyone under the age of 18, | :36:08. | :36:18. | |
but in Scotland 16 to 18-year-olds can buy a kitchen knife or cutlery. | :36:19. | :36:30. | |
Shops caught breaking the law face six months in prison | :36:31. | :36:32. | |
The Local Government Association says more needs to be done | :36:33. | :36:36. | |
to stop lives being put at risk, and shops need to put up | :36:37. | :36:40. | |
More than 50 MPs have backed calls for urgent improvements | :36:41. | :36:53. | |
The British Infrastructure Group wants automatic compensation | :36:54. | :36:56. | |
for families who do not get the internet speeds they pay for. | :36:57. | :36:59. | |
Ofcom says it's already taking firm and wide-ranging action | :37:00. | :37:01. | |
The BBC's longest running medical drama, Casualty, | :37:02. | :37:09. | |
The entire episode has been filmed on a single | :37:10. | :37:13. | |
It's a first in British television and marks its 30th anniversary, | :37:14. | :37:24. | |
So if you want to see it, it is on tonight and BBC One 9:05, and I | :37:25. | :37:33. | |
cannot imagine the rehearsal time, planning and execution to get that | :37:34. | :37:36. | |
spot-on. Not an easy show to get right, just | :37:37. | :37:41. | |
in that clip, fire engines, ambulances, everyone has to be in | :37:42. | :37:44. | |
the right place at the right time, and you don't want to be the one | :37:45. | :37:48. | |
that mark set up! Talking about that, Mike! | :37:49. | :37:57. | |
An exciting couple of days for England to take a lead against South | :37:58. | :38:03. | |
Africa in the cricket, but the rain might have other ideas. England are | :38:04. | :38:11. | |
in a good position, thanks to this man, Toby Roland-Jones. Quite a | :38:12. | :38:14. | |
debut for him. took four South African | :38:15. | :38:15. | |
wickets with his first 33 balls in Test cricket | :38:16. | :38:19. | |
on a dramatic day at the Oval. A brilliant century from Ben Stokes, | :38:20. | :38:22. | |
reached with consecutive sixes, helped England to a first | :38:23. | :38:25. | |
innings total of 353. Then it was all | :38:26. | :38:29. | |
about Toby Roland-Jones, and ripping through the South | :38:30. | :38:31. | |
African batsmen, with a little help from Jimmy Anderson, | :38:32. | :38:35. | |
Stuart Broad and Stokes again. At the close, the tourists | :38:36. | :38:37. | |
were in real trouble on 126-8. It's very helpful | :38:38. | :38:42. | |
when you have got guys with the experience | :38:43. | :38:44. | |
of Jimmy and Stuart. They were calming, guiding me | :38:45. | :38:47. | |
through the opening few overs. Great Britain have added | :38:48. | :38:49. | |
a fourth swimming gold to their tally at the World Aquatics | :38:50. | :39:00. | |
Championships in Budapest. of Stephen Milne, Nick Grainger, | :39:01. | :39:02. | |
Duncan Scott and James Guy successfully defended their title, | :39:03. | :39:06. | |
with Guy swimming the anchor leg, Carl Frampton's fight | :39:07. | :39:08. | |
with Andres Gutierrez is off after a freak accident | :39:09. | :39:22. | |
led to the Mexican having to withdraw | :39:23. | :39:24. | |
from the contest in Belfast. Frampton weighed in 1lb | :39:25. | :39:26. | |
over the nine stone limit, meaning the fight wouldn't be | :39:27. | :39:29. | |
a world-title eliminator. Then later in the evening, | :39:30. | :39:33. | |
Gutierrez slipped in the shower, meaning the fight | :39:34. | :39:36. | |
has been called off. You cannot really write | :39:37. | :39:44. | |
things like this. There is absolutely | :39:45. | :39:59. | |
no way he could box. Physically, I don't think he should | :40:00. | :40:05. | |
be allowed to box, and he isn't. Rugby League's Challenge Cup | :40:06. | :40:16. | |
has reached the semifinal stage, with both matches live | :40:17. | :40:18. | |
on BBC TV this weekend. Salford take on Wigan tomorrow, | :40:19. | :40:21. | |
but this afternoon face the Leeds Rhinos | :40:22. | :40:25. | |
at Doncaster's Keepmoat Stadium. Rhinos won the competition in 2014 | :40:26. | :40:30. | |
and 2015, while Hull have lost the last eight meetings | :40:31. | :40:33. | |
between the sides. We sampled success, obviously, last | :40:34. | :40:48. | |
season, and if we can bring it back second time round, it will be a real | :40:49. | :40:52. | |
statement for the club, and obviously the direction that we want | :40:53. | :40:56. | |
to be heading towards, you know, continuing to push for silverware. | :40:57. | :41:00. | |
At the beginning of the year, as you come together as a collector, this | :41:01. | :41:01. | |
cup is what you are striving for. England's suffered | :41:02. | :41:07. | |
an agonising defeat in the Wheelchair Rugby | :41:08. | :41:09. | |
League World Cup final. Leading by a couple of points | :41:10. | :41:10. | |
with just over two minutes remaining, hosts France | :41:11. | :41:13. | |
scored to repeat their victory over England | :41:14. | :41:15. | |
in the final four years ago. It's one of the most daring | :41:16. | :41:23. | |
and spectacular sports of all, and this weekend the top acrobats | :41:24. | :41:26. | |
in the country are in Liverpool for the British Rhythmic and | :41:27. | :41:29. | |
Acrobatic Gymanstic Championships. The team are fresh from picking up | :41:30. | :41:31. | |
a gold medal at the World Games last week, and I went | :41:32. | :41:34. | |
to the new Spelthorne gym in Middlesex to find out how | :41:35. | :41:37. | |
what they do is humanly possible. Defying the laws of gravity - | :41:38. | :41:46. | |
in fact, defying all of those thoughts about what is possible | :41:47. | :41:50. | |
for human beings. Gymnasts working together | :41:51. | :41:53. | |
with extraordinary courage, It is like being in | :41:54. | :41:55. | |
a forest of human beings. Acrobatic gymnastics | :41:56. | :42:05. | |
first came to the UK as a way of pushing to gymnasts | :42:06. | :42:20. | |
to new extremes. And, crucially, allowing | :42:21. | :42:24. | |
them to work together. It is incredible how long | :42:25. | :42:28. | |
they can hold this form. It is a combination of acrobatics, | :42:29. | :42:30. | |
dancing, gymnastics, They can push themselves | :42:31. | :42:34. | |
acrobatically, and also mentally, and it teaches | :42:35. | :42:52. | |
them to work together. This club in Middlesex has | :42:53. | :42:55. | |
a new club to train in, and they are hoping it | :42:56. | :42:58. | |
will increase their numbers to 3000, from preschool beginners | :42:59. | :43:00. | |
to world champions. It is scary. | :43:01. | :43:01. | |
There is trust involved. You make it look difficult, | :43:02. | :43:03. | |
how hard is it? It takes a lot of work | :43:04. | :43:08. | |
to get to that standard. You need to concentrate, not just | :43:09. | :43:31. | |
on the top, but on the bottom. They have a head start | :43:32. | :43:39. | |
getting to the Olympics, because they are already | :43:40. | :43:42. | |
included in Youth Olympics. Sorry I was not a more | :43:43. | :43:47. | |
sturdy support. You are working as a team. | :43:48. | :43:49. | |
You are seeing them bond. Beginners have to start somewhere, | :43:50. | :43:54. | |
no matter what their age is. Even a basic move | :43:55. | :44:02. | |
like the front circle. Of course, it is all about | :44:03. | :44:20. | |
trusting your team and your base, especially when it comes | :44:21. | :44:25. | |
to the finale But you made it back, you got down. | :44:26. | :44:49. | |
It was safer for me to do that and do a triple somersault off the top, | :44:50. | :44:54. | |
I was quite happy to be hoisted into the rafters. Have you been working | :44:55. | :44:59. | |
on your neck exercises? We are going to practice it later on. Are we | :45:00. | :45:04. | |
going to do a pyramid? Who is on top? Ben would be a good anchor, | :45:05. | :45:10. | |
some sort of crocodile on top, I think. I am envisaging it now, Mike! | :45:11. | :45:17. | |
I will be a crumpled mess! We will see you later, thanks a lot. | :45:18. | :45:19. | |
We're all told to save for our retirement. | :45:20. | :45:21. | |
But more than a quarter of pensioners who are on their own, | :45:22. | :45:24. | |
rely on just what the state provides. | :45:25. | :45:26. | |
Numbers are at a 22 year high and there are worries it | :45:27. | :45:29. | |
will keep on rising, as Paul Lewis, the presenter | :45:30. | :45:31. | |
of Radio 4's Money Box programme, has been finding out. | :45:32. | :45:43. | |
I started work at 16, done lots of different jobs, | :45:44. | :45:45. | |
67-year-old Jean Storey is one of more than a million single | :45:46. | :45:49. | |
pensioners in the UK who are completely | :45:50. | :45:51. | |
When I was married, my husband paid into a private pension, | :45:52. | :46:04. | |
and as we progressed through the years, and our income got better, | :46:05. | :46:07. | |
he put more and more money into the pension, | :46:08. | :46:12. | |
so I always thought that when we both retired, | :46:13. | :46:14. | |
there would be a good pension, so I never bothered. | :46:15. | :46:17. | |
she just couldn't afford to start saving into a pension. | :46:18. | :46:24. | |
That's left her facing a very different retirement | :46:25. | :46:27. | |
It is difficult, but I just have to manage my money. | :46:28. | :46:36. | |
And it sounds ridiculous, but I know where every pound | :46:37. | :46:42. | |
is going to be spent, I really do. | :46:43. | :46:45. | |
You know, so every week, I budget what I've got. | :46:46. | :46:50. | |
And what would you say to young people watching this now | :46:51. | :46:52. | |
about the importance of saving for a pension while they're at work? | :46:53. | :46:56. | |
If I'd known then what I know now, because I do know one of my friends, | :46:57. | :47:05. | |
this is the one that's going on a cruise, | :47:06. | :47:07. | |
she did that all through her working life, | :47:08. | :47:10. | |
and even though she and her husband split up and she is on her own, | :47:11. | :47:13. | |
she actually had the foresight to see that. | :47:14. | :47:15. | |
So she has got this extra money that she can do things with, | :47:16. | :47:18. | |
so it does make a really big difference when you get older. | :47:19. | :47:24. | |
it's unlikely - in her 40s - that she would have put enough in. | :47:25. | :47:31. | |
Tom McPhail is head of retirement at Hargreaves Lansdown. | :47:32. | :47:39. | |
Living on the state pension alone is manageable, | :47:40. | :47:42. | |
but it's not something you'd choose to do if you could avoid it. | :47:43. | :47:45. | |
What's worrying is that there are millions of people | :47:46. | :47:48. | |
who still aren't saving for a pension, either | :47:49. | :47:50. | |
because they weren't caught in their employer's auto-enrolment | :47:51. | :47:51. | |
scheme, or because they're simply self-employed, | :47:52. | :47:53. | |
To put this into context, if you wanted to double your state | :47:54. | :48:03. | |
pension, if you wanted to get another ?8,300 a year | :48:04. | :48:05. | |
by saving in a private pension, for someone in their mid 20s today, | :48:06. | :48:08. | |
that would cost around ?300 a month you'd have to save all the way | :48:09. | :48:12. | |
For young people worried about student debt and owning | :48:13. | :48:20. | |
their own home, being told to save that amount of money for 40 | :48:21. | :48:23. | |
years to retire on what is just over the national living wage might seem | :48:24. | :48:26. | |
hard to swallow, but it's a message Jean Storey | :48:27. | :48:28. | |
Personal finance expert and founder of MoneyMagpie.com Jasmine Birtles | :48:29. | :48:41. | |
Nice to see you, as always. Let's talk about some of these figures, it | :48:42. | :48:52. | |
is a really stark reports that will make worrying reading for many | :48:53. | :48:55. | |
people, whatever their age and their place in the life, as you get toward | :48:56. | :49:01. | |
saving for retirement. How did we get to this position, where so many | :49:02. | :49:04. | |
pensioners are reliant on just the state pension? Well, we're really | :49:05. | :49:10. | |
ignorant about money in this country, we haven't been taught. It | :49:11. | :49:15. | |
is only now, finally, that it is beginning to be taught in schools, | :49:16. | :49:19. | |
and ideally, you know, we should have had this decades ago, so that | :49:20. | :49:23. | |
we would have learned not only how to manage our money day to day, but | :49:24. | :49:28. | |
how to think for the future, how to invest, and I think this is | :49:29. | :49:33. | |
something that has held us back. It has made us poor, the fact that we | :49:34. | :49:38. | |
have not been taught, and we urgently need, not just children, | :49:39. | :49:43. | |
but frankly adults urgently need to get some training. I would like to | :49:44. | :49:46. | |
see it done free across the country, organised by the Government, to help | :49:47. | :49:54. | |
people manage their money day to day and, crucially, too invested for the | :49:55. | :49:57. | |
future. It is worth reminding ourselves of some of these figures, | :49:58. | :50:02. | |
Paul had them in a report, but even with credit top up on the basic | :50:03. | :50:08. | |
state pension, many pensioners are living on ?8,300 a year, and in that | :50:09. | :50:12. | |
context, it is very difficult to see how these pensioners get by. You | :50:13. | :50:17. | |
talked about education, for people in this position, what can they be | :50:18. | :50:22. | |
doing? For a start, it is a good idea to see if you could get any | :50:23. | :50:25. | |
extra benefits, so there are websites like Turn To Us, that our | :50:26. | :50:32. | |
cultivators, and they can tell you if there is anything extra you could | :50:33. | :50:37. | |
be entitled to, because a lot of benefits are not claimed. -- that | :50:38. | :50:47. | |
have calculator is. If you have the energy, go and find a little earner | :50:48. | :50:52. | |
on the side. My mother, like Jean, got divorced early on, spent all her | :50:53. | :50:56. | |
money on children, me and my brother, and by the time she was | :50:57. | :51:01. | |
coming to retirement, she started her own business, she ran it for 20 | :51:02. | :51:05. | |
years and loved it, frankly. But there are lots of things you can do | :51:06. | :51:09. | |
to make a better extra cash on side, things like house sitting, dog | :51:10. | :51:16. | |
walking, cooking, childcare, all sorts of things, many of which are | :51:17. | :51:20. | |
fun, and this is something that I hear a lot from my readers, who do | :51:21. | :51:24. | |
lots of bits and things on the side. It gets them out, it gets them | :51:25. | :51:29. | |
meeting other people, so it is not the end of the world if | :51:30. | :51:33. | |
circumstances mean you have to go out and make some extra cash. Let's | :51:34. | :51:38. | |
talk about the issue up education, and starting to save money now, this | :51:39. | :51:43. | |
is a common thing you have talked about a lot, and we have dealt with | :51:44. | :51:46. | |
it a lot in the business news - people do not have any idea how much | :51:47. | :51:50. | |
they should be saving, and we heard from Tom McPhail in that report, | :51:51. | :51:55. | |
?300 a month for the next 40 years, just to have a pension of about | :51:56. | :52:04. | |
16,000, still not a lot. It is, and Tom is right, of course, but I don't | :52:05. | :52:08. | |
know, if you look at that figure, 300 and think, I cannot even begin | :52:09. | :52:14. | |
to do that, look, ignore that figure for the moment, if you are in your | :52:15. | :52:20. | |
20s, if you can save ?25 a month, that is a good start, do it, do it. | :52:21. | :52:25. | |
Anything that you can save, in your 20s, you have the advantage of time. | :52:26. | :52:30. | |
If you put it into, I would say, stock market investments, I am a fan | :52:31. | :52:35. | |
of index tracking funds, they are cheap and easy and you don't have to | :52:36. | :52:41. | |
think about it. I would put that ?25, ideally, into a pension fund, | :52:42. | :52:51. | |
or index tracking funds wrapped in an Isa, but that will grow over the | :52:52. | :52:54. | |
decade into something decent, and if you have children and have a little | :52:55. | :52:58. | |
bit of extra cash, I would set up a pension for them. Frankly, when they | :52:59. | :53:04. | |
are a baby, I would set up a pension. Financial advisers have | :53:05. | :53:07. | |
found that if you put the total amount that you are allowed to put | :53:08. | :53:12. | |
in as a parent for a child, you can put up to ?2800 a year into a | :53:13. | :53:17. | |
pension for your baby, and if you do it for the first ten years of their | :53:18. | :53:20. | |
lives, you're basically sorted out their pension. That is how important | :53:21. | :53:27. | |
time is when it comes to investing. It is good to talk to, thanks for | :53:28. | :53:32. | |
explaining all of that, and a lot of you getting in touch with us this | :53:33. | :53:36. | |
morning. Susie suggesting the concern over whether companies are | :53:37. | :53:42. | |
fiddling with existing pensions, so people may be do not have final | :53:43. | :53:46. | |
salary schemes, whether their pay-outs may be affected, a lot of | :53:47. | :53:49. | |
people worried about that. Keep your messages coming in. | :53:50. | :53:52. | |
Paul Lewis and the Money Box team will be asking if we're facing | :53:53. | :53:55. | |
the death of retirement on BBC Radio 4 at midday today. | :53:56. | :54:01. | |
Sarah has got a look at what the weather is doing, fine in some | :54:02. | :54:05. | |
places, but a bit changeable? That sums it up quite nicely, Ben, | :54:06. | :54:16. | |
some sunshine across many parts of the country, but outbreaks of rain | :54:17. | :54:18. | |
at times through the weekend. This is how we start the day in eastern | :54:19. | :54:23. | |
Scotland, where the cloud is fairly well broken, but showers rolling in | :54:24. | :54:28. | |
across much of Scotland and Northern Ireland today, with low pressure | :54:29. | :54:31. | |
sitting to the north-west. Further south, a weather front in the | :54:32. | :54:34. | |
English Channel will will Dominic Reid northwards through the day. | :54:35. | :54:43. | |
This is ten o'clock across Scotland and Northern Ireland, showers moving | :54:44. | :54:46. | |
through quite quickly on the breeze, you can see the odd shower cropping | :54:47. | :54:51. | |
up, most of us will avoid them through the morning. Further south, | :54:52. | :54:54. | |
rain in the English Channel working into southern part of Cornwall, | :54:55. | :55:00. | |
Devon, rain sitting off the coast of Kent there. But dry and bright | :55:01. | :55:05. | |
through the Midlands and the London region, largely dry at the Oval for | :55:06. | :55:08. | |
the third test, but through the afternoon more of a chance of rain | :55:09. | :55:11. | |
moving in, and the breeze picking up. Through the latter part of this | :55:12. | :55:17. | |
morning, this rain creeps towards the London region, into the | :55:18. | :55:21. | |
Midlands, South Wales. To the north of that, sunny spells and scattered | :55:22. | :55:26. | |
showers, most of those across Northern Ireland and western | :55:27. | :55:30. | |
Scotland. 17-21d, feeling cooler than that way you have got the | :55:31. | :55:34. | |
breeze and outbreaks of rain in the south. This rain will work zero into | :55:35. | :55:38. | |
this evening and overnight, so a spell of rain for a time before it | :55:39. | :55:44. | |
clears to the east through the early hours of Sunday, then further | :55:45. | :55:49. | |
showers across northern and western parts of the country, temperatures | :55:50. | :55:54. | |
overnight between ten and 15 degrees. The second half of the | :55:55. | :55:57. | |
weekend is another day of sunshine and showers, still low pressure | :55:58. | :56:01. | |
sticking with us, this low pressure clears to the East, but this low | :56:02. | :56:07. | |
pressure remains to be West, and with winds rotating around the low | :56:08. | :56:13. | |
pressure, and other breezy day, the odd thunderstorm for northern and | :56:14. | :56:19. | |
western parts, but a better day in the south-east. Looking relatively | :56:20. | :56:24. | |
decent for Ride London tomorrow, 21 degrees, a bit of a breeze, perhaps | :56:25. | :56:27. | |
the chance of a odd afternoon shower. Then the same again into | :56:28. | :56:32. | |
Monday, low pressure towards the north-west, a hint of higher | :56:33. | :56:36. | |
pressure just starting to build in from the South into the new working | :56:37. | :56:41. | |
week, but still some showers in the north-west and Monday, things to dry | :56:42. | :56:43. | |
and bright so. Back to you. Rare images of tigers | :56:44. | :56:48. | |
in Bhutan have been released by the World Wide Fund for Nature, | :56:49. | :56:54. | |
as it marks a day to raise awareness of the decline | :56:55. | :56:57. | |
of tigers in the wild. The photos were captured | :56:58. | :56:59. | |
by photojournalist and film-maker Emmanuel Rondeau, who faced | :57:00. | :57:01. | |
torrential downpours, snowfall, and had to overcome extreme terrain | :57:02. | :57:03. | |
to get the pictures he wanted. Absolutely. Why was it so important | :57:04. | :57:16. | |
to get those images? The situation of tigers is very difficult now, we | :57:17. | :57:22. | |
used 100,000 tigers 100 years ago, and the last census in 2010 said | :57:23. | :57:29. | |
only 3200, so we lost 97% of the tigers in the world. But the great | :57:30. | :57:33. | |
thing is that there has been a huge comeback that started in 2010, and | :57:34. | :57:36. | |
the goal is to double the tiger population. The idea of the project | :57:37. | :57:43. | |
was to show that the situation is full of hope also, tigers are coming | :57:44. | :57:49. | |
back. We are having right now 700 more tigers than we used to have | :57:50. | :57:53. | |
seven years ago, so really showing that if we all work together, we can | :57:54. | :57:58. | |
save this incredible species. Tell us about the process of getting | :57:59. | :58:04. | |
these pictures, it is important, the idea of wildlife corridors, explain | :58:05. | :58:08. | |
that. Basically, nature cannot live in a box, especially with tigers, | :58:09. | :58:12. | |
they need to move around huge territory to find a move and to | :58:13. | :58:17. | |
make. So this is why national parks are important, but they need to move | :58:18. | :58:21. | |
from one place to another, and this is where biological corridors, | :58:22. | :58:25. | |
essentially huge chunks of forest that the tiger can move through are | :58:26. | :58:31. | |
very important, so the plan with the WWF was to try to make an image in | :58:32. | :58:35. | |
these corridors of return, in a place where no higher resolution of | :58:36. | :58:41. | |
tigers had ever been done. They are very shy animals, it is easy to look | :58:42. | :58:47. | |
at these pictures and think, you snapped a tiger, but that must have | :58:48. | :58:54. | |
taken a long time. Exactly, Bhutan is in the heart of the Himalayas, so | :58:55. | :58:59. | |
very steep, and the forest are very dense, so even a big animal like a | :59:00. | :59:03. | |
tiger, you never see it like this, it is impossible to see them. You | :59:04. | :59:07. | |
could walk for ten years and never see a tiger, very secretive animal, | :59:08. | :59:12. | |
so we have to imagine a lot of different tools to try to get an | :59:13. | :59:17. | |
image of a tiger. So we spend a lot of time walking the forest, trying | :59:18. | :59:22. | |
to find the path of tigers. And when you finally get the picture, what | :59:23. | :59:26. | |
goes through your mind? Well, I couldn't believe it, you arrive at | :59:27. | :59:30. | |
your camera, you see an image like this, it took me two days to realise | :59:31. | :59:35. | |
that we made it. So much effort, both physically and mentally, he | :59:36. | :59:40. | |
stressed, to be able to do it, so once finally you get a... They are | :59:41. | :59:44. | |
breathtaking, thanks so much for sharing them. It has been a | :59:45. | :59:48. | |
pleasure. The headlines are next, we will see you soon. | :59:49. | :00:24. | |

Donald Trump's top White House aid has resigned after days of public | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
Earlier this week Chief-of-Staff, Reince Priebus, was described | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
as a paranoid schizophrenic by the President's new director | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
The new man in charge of making sure the administration runs smoothly | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
is former military general John Kelly. | :02:12. | :02:12. | |
Here's our North America Correspondent Peter Bowes. | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
Another tweet, another resignation, another day in the Trump presidency. | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
Reince Priebus is the latest senior figure in the White House | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
The shortest serving Chief-of-Staff in history. | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
He is being replaced by a retired four-star general. | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
John Kelly is currently in charge of the department | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
Donald Trump revealed that Reince Priebus had been replaced | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
at the end of a tumultuous week in Washington. | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
Earlier, the two men travelled together to an event in Long Island, | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
where Mr Trump lavished praise on John Kelly. | :02:46. | :02:46. | |
The President was heading back to the White House that he tweeted | :02:47. | :02:54. | |
There was a time when they seemed so close. | :02:55. | :03:15. | |
Ever since the election, the right-hand man, | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
Reince Priebus, rarely far from the President's side. | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
But he tendered his resignation on Thursday, following what he said | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
The President wanted to go in a different direction. | :03:23. | :03:31. | |
The President has a right to hit a reset button. | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
I think it's a good time to hit the reset button. | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
I think he was right to hit the reset button and I think | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
that it was something that I think the White House needs. | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
I think it's healthy and I support him in it. | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
Asked about an interview in which he was described by the new | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
White House Communications Chief, Anthony Scaramucci, as "a paranoid | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
schizophrenic," Mr Priebus said "He didn't want to get | :03:54. | :03:55. | |

Violence has broken out in East London during protests | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
about the death of a man shortly after he was restrained | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
The Independent Police Complaints Commission is investigating | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
the death of 20-year-old Rashan Charles. | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
Last night, bottles and fireworks were thrown at officers | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
Dan Johnson was at the scene of last night's trouble. | :04:23. | :04:30. | |
A tense night in part of East London. | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
A fleet of police riot vans faces a burning barricade. | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
Hundreds of officers were sent to force people back. | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
After a peaceful protest earlier in the day ended in violence. | :04:47. | :04:55. | |
Well, it's just after midnight and things have | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
A lot of people have moved away and left. | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
But there are still quite a lot of police officers | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
This was sparked by the death of Rashan Charles. | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
The 20-year-old was chased into a shop by police. | :05:13. | :05:14. | |
Officers say he tried to swallow something. | :05:15. | :05:16. | |
There was a struggle and he became ill. | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
Just over an hour later, Rashan Charles was declared dead. | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
He's the third young man to lose his life after being stopped | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
by police in London in just over a month. | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
They're angry and they're confused as they are not | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
They have to carry knives because they're living in fear. | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
They're forced into situations where they don't understand how to life, | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
how to make money and how to work for what they want because they | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
It was concern and anger at the system that last night | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
Police say whatever the frustrations, this | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
is not what the family of Rashan Charles wanted. | :05:57. | :06:09. | |
Some tense scenes. Dan is there this morning. Dan, what's it like now. | :06:10. | :06:17. | |
Good morning. Absolutely calle and quiet here this morning and there | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
has been a big clean up operation under taken by the council already. | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
So there is very little sign of what happened last night. But what there | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
is here is a sign of what happened last week. That there is the shop | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
where Rashan Charles was wrestled to the ground by police. That's where | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
he was in that con fondtration and it was shortly after that that he | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
lost his life and that's where the shrine has built up with flowers and | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
candles, tributes left there and just over here, is the junction here | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
in dal ston in Hackney in East London where the focus of last | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
night's demonstration ended up. This is where the flash point really was | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
where it turned violent. Some of the demonstrators pushed bins into the | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
fire and set fire to them. A mattress was set alight too. This is | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
where riot officers were confronted by people throwing bottles at them | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
and setting off fireworks too. Later today there will be a further | :07:14. | :07:15. | |
protest outside the local police station. Rashan Charles' father will | :07:16. | :07:22. | |
be leading that delstration, but the family appealed for people to stay | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
calment they are working with the Independent Police Complaints | :07:28. | :07:28. | |
Commission that are investigating the circumstances around this death, | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
but it is clear it caused concern and unsees in this community. People | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
are sensitive about the way that the police deal with young men in this | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
part of London. Dan, for the moment, thank you very much. | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
The North Korean leader, Kim Jong-Un, has said that the whole | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
of the US mainland is now within firing range | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
following his military's latest intercontinental missile test. | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
It is the second such missile to be launched by Pyongyang this month | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
and reached an altitude of more than 2,000 miles. | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
The US and South Korea has responded by carrying out a series | :08:01. | :08:02. | |
Nearly a quarter of shops are breaking the law, | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
by selling knives to underage people, some as young as 13. | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
That is according to new figures from the Local | :08:14. | :08:15. | |
which says some retailers, including two supermarket chains, | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
Shops, retailers, can put in place processes to stop young people | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
accessing knives and we believe that more needs to be done to target | :08:24. | :08:25. | |

The BBC's longest running medical drama Casualty | :08:46. | :09:13. | |
is making history tonight - the entire episode has | :09:14. | :09:15. | |
been filmed on a single camera, in just one take. | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
It's a first in British television and marks its 30th anniversary, | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
This whole episode of Casualty was filmed all in one go, | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
so that's one continuous shot with one hand-held camera | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
Filming a storyline with real-time action throws up all | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
Well, it's the closest the show can get to reflect the NHS front-line | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
You have been through the wars yourself. | :09:38. | :09:45. | |
Has anyone said anything about the baby? | :09:46. | :09:47. | |
It took two weeks of rehearsals for the cast and crew, | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
and eight full-length takes were filmed and it is the last | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
one of those which will make it to air tonight. | :09:54. | :10:01. | |
Casualty is on BBC One at 9.05pm tonight. | :10:02. | :10:12. | |
It's 9. 9. 9.10am. We will return to one of our main | :10:13. | :10:27. | |
stories, Charlie Gard. We can show the new pictures released by Charlie | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
Gard's family, showing a healthier Charlie. The debate about his care | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
has provoked international reaction. The debate about his care provoked | :10:35. | :10:42. | |
international reaction including opinions from Pope Francis, | :10:43. | :10:44. | |
who said he would pray for his Let's talk about this | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
with Stephanie Nimmo whose 12-year-old daughter Daisy was born | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
with a rare genetic syndrome, and died six months ago | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
at Great Ormond Street hospital. The debate about his care provoked | :10:54. | :10:55. | |
international reaction including opinions from Pope Francis, | :10:56. | :10:57. | |
who said he would pray for his Our thoughts are with Charlie's | :10:58. | :11:05. | |
parents. Tell us about what you went through and how you managed to cope | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
with everything that happened to Daisy? My thoughts are with Chris | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
and Connie and everyone that cared for Charlie. I, myself, experienced | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
the same six months ago we had to take the decision to remove Daisy's | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
life support while Nevis in intensive care in Great Ormond | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
Street and it is the most horrific thing a parent has to do. It's the | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
hardest thing you have to do. We took her to the hospital after she | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
had died, passed away and spent some really lovely healing time with her. | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
In the hospice afterwards. I know you had a plan for Daisy to | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
die at home and those plans didn't work out quite how you wanted them | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
to. But also given everything that we have seen and heard this week | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
about Charlie Gard and indeed over the last few weeks, you also know | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
very closely the processes and certainly what the staff at Great | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
Ormond Street must have been going through? And I can only talk about | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
my particular situation, but we had 12 years to adjust to the fact that | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
we had a life limited child. I worked with the palliative care team | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
at Great Ormond Street to develop end of life plans for Daisy, but | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
when it came down to it, things happened so quickly and I wanted to | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
bring her home for her final hours and if that wasn't possible to bring | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
her to the hospice which she had grown to love over the course of her | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
life, but in the end when the consultant in the intensive care | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
unit explained to me that potentially she could die in the | :12:39. | :12:47. | |
ambulance transfer we felt the safest option was to switch off her | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
life support in the intensive care unit. I was there with her. She was | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
surrounded with love. She shoe she was loved at the end and yeah, it's | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
the hardest thing I have ever had to do. We're grateful for you being | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
able to explain all of us because I know it's not easy. A lot has been | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
made about the communication, the relationship between the hospital | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
and the parents and the legal authorities and I suppose where | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
there is a danger that many people forget about the child at the centre | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
of this and I know you were really keen to make sure that Daisy | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
remained at the centre of this. It was about doing halfs right for her? | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
This is what I found. Things were changing constantly with Daisy, but | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
the most important thing was to work actually, in my personal situation, | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
I had a long-term relationship with the palliative team and with our | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
hospice team and we developed plans and Daisy was at the centre of them | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
all and for me, all the decisions were based on Daisy's quality of | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
life. I was fortunate that there was a long period where she was able to | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
go to school. She was able to go out and play with friends. Before her | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
health really, really deteriorated and every decision I ever made about | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
Daisy and her care was based on is this going to improve her quality of | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
life? Is this going to be something that helps her dot things that she | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
wants to do? What's been so different, I think we can say in | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
this case and there have been similar cases before, but the role | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
social media played. There has been a lot of outpouring of support and | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
good wishes for the family, but at the same time there has been | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
criticism, some questioning of the role that the hospital played and | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
whether the parents should be pursuing this? I'm interested in | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
what difference that would make to you, seeing the public support, but | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
then also there has been a lot of criticism of the hospital in this | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
case. That's clearly in this case wasn't helpful? I don't think it was | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
helpful. I think, unfortunately, sitting on the sidelines as someone | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
that has been through exactly that situation, you see a lot on Twitter | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
and on social media from armchair commentators and I think every | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
situation is individual to the child and unless you're in that situation, | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
you can never know. The doctors, are doing their best and the medical | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
teams, everyone, all they care about, Charlie's parents, everyone, | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
it is all about Charlie and every situation is individual to it the | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
child and every decision has to be based on what's the best thing for | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
the child at the centre of it all? Social media can be incredible. I | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
started a blog when Daisy started to really deteriorate because I wanted | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
to help people understand what it's like caring for a life limited child | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
and a child who is not going to live to adulthood and that was a way of | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
managing the information, but I can absolutely see how it can get out of | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
control and people can use the story to fuel their own agendas as well. | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
Of course, this is all too recent for you, but I wonder whether you | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
would have any advice or support for Connie Yeates and Chris Gard about | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
how they cope with the coming weeks and months? I know it's not what | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
they wanted, but actually, being in a hospice setting now is probably | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
one of the best things for them. Personally, after Daisy died and we | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
took her to the hospice, we brought her home for a night and took her to | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
the hospice and the hospice cocooned us. We were just able to switch off | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
in some ways. People were there to talk to us, to support us, there | :16:25. | :16:31. | |
were therapists there to just listen and I think you know, now, this is | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
where the hospice and children's hospices really play such a strong | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
role at the child's end of life and after a child has died, we are still | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
supported by the hospice. My children receive therapy support | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
from them and just helping with the practical arrangements. It's only | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
six months this weekend since we lost Daisy. It's such early days, | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
but I don't know how I could have got through it without the support | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
of our hospice. Stephanie, it is really good to talk to you. Just six | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
months since Daisy passed away, I know it has not been easy to talk to | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
us this morning, but we're really grateful for your insight. Our | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
thoughts, are both with Stephanie and her family and also with Charlie | :17:14. | :17:15. | |
Gard's family too. It's 9.17am. Let's ask Sarah what is | :17:16. | :17:25. | |
happening with the weather. It is looking a little more | :17:26. | :17:40. | |
promising. This weekend is not a write off. There is some sunshine to | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
start off the day. Here is the view taken by one of our Weather Watchers | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
in Twickenham earlier in the day. We have got sunshine there. If we look | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
at the satellite image, we can see where the cloud is. More patchy | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
cloud further north-west. Here we have an area of low pressure sitting | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
there. The low pressure will drive in scattered blustery showers across | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland today. Further south, this weather front | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
mainly along the English Channel, it will push northwards. So it will be | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
bringing outbreaks of rain across southern parts of England and into | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
South Wales too. Further north, sunny spells in between the showers | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
across Scotland and Northern Ireland. Quite cool and breezy and | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
blust ary, 17 or 18 Celsius. Slightly drier as we move our way | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
South Down across southern England and Wales too. For South Wales in | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
the south-west of England, this is 4pm. The rain will be setting in | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
here. So quite a windy, wet afternoon to come. A similar picture | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
for much of southern England. We have got the rain moving in. It | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
won't be raining all the time. After a dry start at the Oval, this | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
afternoon does look like it will bring intreptions to play with the | :18:50. | :18:51. | |
arrival of rain and the breeze picking up too. As we head into the | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
evening hours, the rain across southern England and South Wales | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
shifts its way further northwards. Really much of England and Wales | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
will see a spell of rain and brisk winds tonight before that slowly | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
eases away towards the east. East through the early hours of tomorrow | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
morning and we will see a feed of showers coming in across northern | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
and western coasts in particular. Temperatures down to around 12 to 15 | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
Celsius. So what about tomorrow? Again, low pressure not far away. | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
This first area of low pressure brings its weather fronts off | :19:21. | :19:22. | |
towards the east. The rain clears and then we have got low pressure | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
out to the north-west with the winds rattling around the low pressure. It | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
will drive in further showers to northern and western areas in | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
particular with a few thunderstorms likely too. Further south and east, | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
you are less likely to catch the showers, but there could be a few | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
moving through during the afternoon. Temperatures at best 21 Celsius. It | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
is not looking too bad for the cycling event Ride London tomorrow. | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
21 Celsius. There is a chance we could see the blustery showers. Low | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
pressure doesn't go anywhere. Monday, still sitting out to the | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
north-west. Further showers rotating around the low pressure. You're more | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
likely to see the showers across northern and western parts of the | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
country on into month. There is a hint that drier weather will start | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
to move up from the south. But all in all it is a changeable theme. | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
Back to you both. Sair ration we are about to talk to | :20:13. | :20:20. | |
Simon Calder, it is blustery across the English Channel. Yes. There will | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
be lots of people off on their holidays to France. You will see | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
rain and brisk winds through the English Channel today, but it will | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
be clearing up of the so bear with the weather. Sarah, thank you. | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
Simon is with us. On the channel we've got as Sarah was saying the | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
winds and the storms that are meaning that people can't get the | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
ferries. In the south of France we are facing the forest fires that are | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
affecting travel. Tens of thousands of families heading for France this | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
weekend. And as we have been hearing, it is nasty across the | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
channel. Mind you, you will have problems before you get to the Port | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
of Dover. They are warning there is long queues of trucks on the A2 and | :21:02. | :21:13. | |
the A20. P Ferries are running three hours behind schedule. They | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
say they will get you on the next sailing and you will get a free cup | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
of tea. They have had mechanical problems and the weather is terrible | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
and everything is looking grim. But when you get to France your problems | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
are only beginning. This is the big weekend. The big day of the year. It | :21:30. | :21:42. | |
is the big holiday and all the people who take their holidays in | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
July are going north. All the people who take their holidays in August | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
are going south. We have got the forest fires in the south of France | :21:51. | :21:58. | |
which have been causing devastation. Dreadful images during the week. | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
People have been sleeping on the beach. They have been put out of | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
their homes and campsites have been shut. Which is what many people will | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
be planning it do? If you have booked through a camping company, it | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
is a package holiday they will by now have found an alternative, but | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
it is really difficult because this is peak season. If you're travelling | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
independently and you happen to be flying down to the south of France, | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
easyJet says they will talk about switching dates or destinations. But | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
it is a huge muddle. Good luck, everybody. | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
There has been another change in travel advice when it comes to | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
Tunisia. Can we talk about that? We had that awful terror attack where | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
30 Britons were killed on a beach in Sousse in June 2015. We were told do | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
not travel to Tunisia, it's not safe, but that restriction has been | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
lifted. How is that going to impact the travel market to this there? | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
Initially, there is little change. For the last two years the Foreign | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
Office said we warn against all travel to Tunisia as a result of | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
that, no tour operator has been organising holidays. A small number | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
of British people have been going in. Flights have been continuing | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
every day from London to Tunis, but while France, Germany and Italy | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
lifted their bans, the UK's has stayed until this week. Talking to | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
the big holiday companies, it is difficult for them to suddenly start | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
putting new flights on. So you're probably not going to see package | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
holidays coming in until about February at the earliest and it will | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
be a small test programme. If you want to go before then, there is a | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
range of options, but you will be travelling probably more | :23:36. | :23:42. | |
independently, having carried out a social media pole, of over 1300, | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
only 18% said we want to go to Tunisia. More than that said we'll | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
go if the price is right and you can expect price cuts, I imagine to try | :23:53. | :23:59. | |
to get people going back to what what is a lovely North African | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
country. We have got David Davis on the sofa. | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
We were talking about a story earlier in the Express. It was about | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
a married couple, both fly with BA, love working together. They think | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
it's great. We were talking about how that could work and whether or | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
not it's typical. It's not typical because there is so few female | :24:25. | :24:32. | |
pilots. I have not been able to find you figures for same-sex couples | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
working for airline. Only 3% of pilots are female. In Britain, it is | :24:37. | :24:42. | |
6% on British Airways, easyJet and Monarch, Ryanair, the same | :24:43. | :24:45. | |
percentage and of course, the other thing is that first officers, so the | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
more junior member, they are in bigger numbers, the number of female | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
captains is lower. So the chances you will be on a flight with a male | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
and female married couple are very low indeed. | :24:58. | :25:04. | |
Simon, thank you very much. David Davis is with us. Let's pick | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
up on the rest of the papers. You pulled out one about teachers not | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
qualified in their subject. Well, these are deeply worrying times for | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
those of us who care passionately about education. I am lucky enough | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
to be a school governor. A quarter of teachers are not qualified in | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
their subject. Particular worries in physics and the languages. Two in | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
five schools have seen an increase in the past year in the number of | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
teachers taking lessons in subjects for which they are not qualified | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
says the Times. And what is the explanation? So many teachers after | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
three, or four years are leaving the profession. And you know, this is | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
coming at a time when all those people and their families sitting at | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
home worrying about A-level results and GCSE results on the way, new | :25:55. | :26:01. | |
marking systems coming in. I suspect there will be problems. I fear there | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
will be problems. It is criticising the fact that it's so difficult to | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
stay in the job at a decent salary level. Absolutely. The reality is | :26:12. | :26:18. | |
that teaching remains a hugely under appreciated task in this country of | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
ours. It was so 25 years ago. It remains so today. | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
Shall we talk about this? You were talking about the mortgage trap | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
earlier, weren't you? This is a story about goodbye to the 25 year | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
loan, are we walking into a mortgage trap? They look attractive because | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
you pay a smaller amount every month, but I pay it over a longer | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
time period. By the time you get to the end of the term, if you get to | :26:49. | :26:52. | |
the end of the term, you will have paid out more, probably tens of | :26:53. | :26:54. | |
thousands of pounds more. Of course, here are the stories. Yes, there is | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
35 year mortgages instead of 25 year mortgages. Other stories in the | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
paper today about loans to people, four-and-a-half, five times their | :27:08. | :27:12. | |
income and excuse me, did we learn absolutely nothing in the crash of | :27:13. | :27:19. | |
2007? So you then ask who is lending the money? Hang on a minute, wasn't | :27:20. | :27:25. | |
there a woman, called Lady Thatcher who used to talk an awful lot about | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
housing and the big thing was to be able to buy your own home. And if | :27:31. | :27:36. | |
you talk to young people today, not just from inn London, they say, | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
"What chance have I got of buying a home unless the good old bank of mum | :27:41. | :27:46. | |
and dad and grand mum and grandad turn up trumps?" Can you merge in 30 | :27:47. | :27:56. | |
seconds how you can do a crossword on a sun afternoon, but get out and | :27:57. | :28:04. | |
do a walk? In 30 seconds. The Times fame for its cross words, it is | :28:05. | :28:08. | |
launching a campaign, crosswords are good for you whether at the start of | :28:09. | :28:12. | |
your school life or at the end of your life. As far as getting out for | :28:13. | :28:17. | |
a walk, it's me. I'm one of the people who stop walking, going on | :28:18. | :28:20. | |
long walks, it's bad. I have got to change. You are a good man. Thank | :28:21. | :28:25. | |
you, David. It is always a pleasure having you with us. | :28:26. | :28:29. | |
We're on BBC One until 10am when it's Saturday Kitchen. | :28:30. | :28:36. | |
Can we have finger news Donal? I have reattached my finger and I'm | :28:37. | :28:44. | |
good to go! I'm going to fill you. Our special guest is Greg James. You | :28:45. | :28:48. | |
are here to face your food heaven and hell. Yeah. Tell me about about | :28:49. | :28:56. | |
your food heaven? Some nice bass and whitefish and Italian flavours and | :28:57. | :28:59. | |
fresh tomatoes and fresh vegetables. Asparagus, maybe. We can see what we | :29:00. | :29:03. | |
can do. Tell me about your hell? I don't want to! | :29:04. | :29:07. | |
LAUGHTER I hate cake! That's a good one. | :29:08. | :29:13. | |
Anything pickled, pickled fish. Any capers. They need to be banished. So | :29:14. | :29:19. | |
that will be my hell. There are two great chefs as well. We have Spanish | :29:20. | :29:27. | |
sunshine. What's cooking today? A rack of lamb marredennated with | :29:28. | :29:33. | |
capers, anchovies, black olives. Vegetables and pickled onions. Are | :29:34. | :29:41. | |
you joking? We planned very well. You like it tale yarngs you will | :29:42. | :29:45. | |
like Spanish. We have got magic from the Midlands. What are you going to | :29:46. | :29:49. | |
be making? I am going to be cooking a grilled pork chop up on the roof | :29:50. | :29:55. | |
on the barbecue and we will have it with a South African, well apart | :29:56. | :29:58. | |
from the finger, you do have another nine! I know. We will do it with a | :29:59. | :30:05. | |
South African chutney and serve with a salad of radishes. It will be | :30:06. | :30:12. | |
fantastic. Suzie, you have giving us gorgeous wines. No white wine | :30:13. | :30:17. | |
vinegar. A bit of red, white, Spanish, but we are sticking | :30:18. | :30:23. | |
European. Have that Brexit! You guys at home are in charge of Greg's food | :30:24. | :30:31. | |
heaven or food hell. Go to the website and vote! No injuries. Stay | :30:32. | :30:35. | |
safe! He cut his finger last week. That's | :30:36. | :30:37. | |
what we were trying to explain. Coming up in the next half hour, | :30:38. | :30:40. | |
we'll be joined by Courteeners If you are a fan of the band, you | :30:41. | :30:56. | |
will want to know about this, I nearly pre-empted it, stay with us, | :30:57. | :30:58. | |
the headlines are coming up next. Hello, this is Breakfast, with | :30:59. | :31:32. | |
Naga Munchetty and Ben Thompson. Coming up before ten, | :31:33. | :31:40. | |
we'll get the weather with Sarah. But first, a summary of this | :31:41. | :31:42. | |
morning's main news. President Trump's top White House | :31:43. | :31:46. | |
aide has resigned after days of public infighting | :31:47. | :31:48. | |
at the White House. Mr Trump has replaced his chief | :31:49. | :31:50. | |
of staff, Reince Priebus, with John Kelly, | :31:51. | :31:52. | |
a former military general. One official said he'd been hired | :31:53. | :31:56. | |
with the goal of bringing more Mr Priebus said he still supported | :31:57. | :31:59. | |
the Trump administration. Violence has broken out | :32:00. | :32:05. | |
in East London during protests about the death of a man, | :32:06. | :32:07. | |
Rashan Charles, who was apprehended | :32:08. | :32:09. | |
by police a week ago. Fireworks and bottles | :32:10. | :32:11. | |
were thrown at officers in the Dalston area | :32:12. | :32:12. | |
of Hackney overnight. Dan Johnson was at the scene last | :32:13. | :32:22. | |
night and is there again this morning, good morning, very tense | :32:23. | :32:28. | |
atmosphere last night, how is it this morning? Yes, it's a very calm | :32:29. | :32:36. | |
right now, but there were some quite serious disturbances, although not | :32:37. | :32:39. | |
widespread, last night here in Dalston in Hackney, sparked by the | :32:40. | :32:44. | |
death of Rashan Charles after he was stopped by police in that shop | :32:45. | :32:47. | |
there. You can see the tribute that have piled up in the weeks since he | :32:48. | :32:52. | |
lost his life, and this is the junction in Hackney that was the | :32:53. | :32:55. | |
focus of the demonstration that did eventually turned violent. There | :32:56. | :32:59. | |
were bins and mattress is pushed into the road to form a burning | :33:00. | :33:03. | |
barricade, hundreds of riot officers had to come in to deal with this. It | :33:04. | :33:11. | |
was a tense time for everybody late last night, but it doesn't look like | :33:12. | :33:14. | |
anybody suffered any injuries, we don't believe there were arrests, | :33:15. | :33:18. | |
and the minimal damage has been cleared up quite quickly this | :33:19. | :33:23. | |
morning. With me is Philip Glanville, the mayor of Hackney, | :33:24. | :33:26. | |
thanks for talking to us, are you worried by what you saw last night? | :33:27. | :33:31. | |
There were some disturbing images on television and social media, but it | :33:32. | :33:37. | |
is calm now, we would plead with the community for it to remain calm. If | :33:38. | :33:41. | |
you listen to what Rashan Charles' family are saying, they don't want | :33:42. | :33:48. | |
to see people causing unrest related to his death. They have been tried | :33:49. | :33:51. | |
to talk to young people, listening to their questions and anger about | :33:52. | :33:56. | |
what happened, but channelling that towards the IPCC investigation, and | :33:57. | :33:59. | |
that work has been going on during the course of the week. Is just the | :34:00. | :34:04. | |
death of Rashan Charles, or is there a bigger issue about how police deal | :34:05. | :34:09. | |
with people? There are always challenges with the relationship | :34:10. | :34:12. | |
with the police, here in Hackney we work very hard on that, and that is | :34:13. | :34:17. | |
why we have been talking to the IPCC during the week, they have been | :34:18. | :34:20. | |
making sure the contact with the police is intelligence led around | :34:21. | :34:26. | |
stop and search, and that officers and young people understand their | :34:27. | :34:29. | |
rights and responsibilities. So I think that what is sad is that it | :34:30. | :34:34. | |
has disrupted that good relationship in Hackney, a relation that has been | :34:35. | :34:38. | |
built up with the council and community leaders and the young | :34:39. | :34:41. | |
people themselves. There is a further protest this afternoon | :34:42. | :34:44. | |
outside the police station, do you fear there could be more violence? I | :34:45. | :34:51. | |
really hope there will not be any, I would echo the concerns of the | :34:52. | :34:55. | |
family, those in the community have been saying that as well, and I | :34:56. | :34:58. | |
would urge anyone coming from outside of Hackney to reflect on | :34:59. | :35:03. | |
what has been happening here in the week, listen to the people who have | :35:04. | :35:08. | |
been saying we want protests to be calm, and act responsibly. That is | :35:09. | :35:11. | |
the mayor of Hackney, and the message has come out strongly from | :35:12. | :35:15. | |
the family of Rashan Charles, they want any protests to be peaceful, | :35:16. | :35:20. | |
something that the police want to see too. We will keep the coverage | :35:21. | :35:24. | |
of that throughout the BBC News Channel later today, the gathering | :35:25. | :35:25. | |
is later today, thank you. after his life support | :35:26. | :35:28. | |
was switched off at a hospice. to have his genetic condition | :35:29. | :35:33. | |
treated in America, after a High Court case | :35:34. | :35:36. | |
earlier this week. Charlie's condition grabbed the | :35:37. | :35:38. | |
attention of many around the world, Nearly a quarter of shops | :35:39. | :35:42. | |
are breaking the law by selling knives | :35:43. | :35:47. | |
to underage people, That's according to new figures from | :35:48. | :35:49. | |
the Local Government Association which says some retailers, | :35:50. | :35:54. | |
including two supermarket chains, Shops, retailers, can put in place | :35:55. | :35:56. | |
processes to stop young people accessing knives, and we believe | :35:57. | :36:05. | |
that more needs to be done to target those retailers | :36:06. | :36:08. | |
who are offending. for urgent improvements | :36:09. | :36:16. | |
to Britain's broadband network. The British Infrastructure Group | :36:17. | :36:19. | |

the internet speeds they pay for. firm and wide-ranging action | :36:22. | :36:26. | |
to protect customers. Robbie left Take That, | :36:27. | :36:38. | |
Zayn left One Direction, and now Marti Pellow has announced | :36:39. | :36:45. | |
he's quitting Wet Wet Wet. After 30 years, he says | :36:46. | :36:52. | |
he plans to concentrate MUSIC PLAYS | :36:53. | :37:20. | |
Carry on, please! They were singing to us there! | :37:21. | :37:22. | |
It is weird how you know all the words, it is one of those songs you | :37:23. | :37:27. | |
don't forget. I do not think it is weird, do you, | :37:28. | :37:32. | |
Mike? It is not weird at all if it is one of your favourite songs! Look | :37:33. | :37:34. | |
at that hair! going on to sell more | :37:35. | :37:37. | |
than 15 million singles and albums around the world, with hits | :37:38. | :37:42. | |
such as Goodnight Girl and Love Is All Around, | :37:43. | :37:44. | |
which spent 15 weeks I am not alone in being the only one | :37:45. | :37:55. | |
who thought they were not still together, I just assumed they broke | :37:56. | :37:59. | |
up a while ago. Do you think they may continue without him? | :38:00. | :38:06. | |
I am upset that we didn't get Angel Eyes. | :38:07. | :38:08. | |
You have been asking for it all morning, you didn't put enough money | :38:09. | :38:13. | |
in the joke box meter! What is going on, cricket? | :38:14. | :38:16. | |
A bit of history, 29, England bowler Toby Roland-Jones... | :38:17. | :38:24. | |
He wasn't even born when Wet Wet Wet... | :38:25. | :38:28. | |
Don't say that! In cricket terms, he is a fair old age. We has waited all | :38:29. | :38:32. | |
these years for his debut and he has made history, not since 1954 as an | :38:33. | :38:36. | |
England bowler taken four wickets with so few balls. | :38:37. | :38:41. | |
Loads of historic stats! Play resumes this morning at 11 o'clock, | :38:42. | :38:45. | |
and England will be hoping to wrap up the first South African innings, | :38:46. | :38:48. | |
quite a debut for Toby Roland-Jones. He took four South African | :38:49. | :38:52. | |
wickets with his first 33 balls in Test cricket | :38:53. | :38:54. | |
on a dramatic day at the Oval. A brilliant century from Ben Stokes, | :38:55. | :38:57. | |
reached with consecutive sixes, helped England to | :38:58. | :39:00. | |
a first innings total of 353. Then it was all about | :39:01. | :39:01. | |
Toby Roland-Jones, and ripping through the South | :39:02. | :39:03. | |
African batsmen, with a little help from Jimmy Anderson, Stuart Broad | :39:04. | :39:07. | |
and Stokes again. At the close, the tourists were | :39:08. | :39:09. | |
in real trouble on 126-8. Carl Frampton's fight | :39:10. | :39:15. | |
with Andres Gutierrez is off after a freak accident | :39:16. | :39:17. | |
led to the Mexican having to withdraw | :39:18. | :39:20. | |
from the contest in Belfast. Before all that, Frampton weighed | :39:21. | :39:31. | |
in 1lb over the nine stone limit, meaning the fight wouldn't be | :39:32. | :39:35. | |
a world-title eliminator. Then later in the evening, | :39:36. | :39:36. | |
Gutierrez slipped in the shower, meaning the fight | :39:37. | :39:39. | |
has been called off. Disappointed, gutted, | :39:40. | :39:44. | |
however you want to say it. You cannot really write | :39:45. | :39:47. | |
things like this. There is absolutely | :39:48. | :39:52. | |
no way he could box. Physically, I don't think he should | :39:53. | :40:01. | |
be allowed to box, and he isn't. Great Britain have added | :40:02. | :40:10. | |
a fourth swimming gold to their tally at the World Aquatics | :40:11. | :40:13. | |

but this afternoon face the Leeds Rhinos | :40:41. | :40:42. | |
at Doncaster's Keepmoat Stadium. Rhinos won the competition in 2014 | :40:43. | :40:45. | |
and 2015, while Hull have lost the last eight meetings | :40:46. | :40:48. | |
between the sides. It looks set to be an intriguing | :40:49. | :40:58. | |
battle for pole position this afternoon, when qualifying gets | :40:59. | :41:01. | |
under way for the Hungarian Grand Prix, after Red Bull's | :41:02. | :41:03. | |
Daniel Ricciardo was fastest Three-time world | :41:04. | :41:06. | |
champion Lewis Hamilton wasn't far off the pace, | :41:07. | :41:08. | |
but his Mercedes car didn't look as dominant as | :41:09. | :41:10. | |
it has in recent weeks. Fellow Briton Jolyon Palmer had | :41:11. | :41:15. | |
a day to forget, though, crashing twice, with his F1 future | :41:16. | :41:19. | |
becoming increasingly uncertain. One of Britain's Wimbledon | :41:20. | :41:28. | |
champions, Jordanne Whiley, What's more, she's announced | :41:29. | :41:30. | |
that she knew she was expecting throughout Wimbledon | :41:31. | :41:33. | |
when she and her playing partner won the wheelchair doubles title | :41:34. | :41:35. | |
for the fourth year running. She has tweeted a picture | :41:36. | :41:38. | |
of her latest scan, saying, "Had a little help | :41:39. | :41:40. | |
at Wimbledon this year." We wish her well, a lovely story. | :41:41. | :41:59. | |
Show the match so she did our mug challenge as well! It is the world | :42:00. | :42:04. | |
athletics at the London Stadium, the end of an era for Mo Farah on the | :42:05. | :42:10. | |
track, Usain Bolt, his final big appearance, and Brendan Foster | :42:11. | :42:13. | |
behind the microphone, after nearly 40 years, and there is a special | :42:14. | :42:19. | |
programme about Brendan Foster on BBC One this afternoon, not to be | :42:20. | :42:23. | |
missed. I am sure he's looking forward to | :42:24. | :42:28. | |
really bittersweet. Some gardening in his retirement - | :42:29. | :42:30. | |
or probably more running! This weekend will see commemorations | :42:31. | :42:34. | |
to mark the 100th anniversary of the beginning of | :42:35. | :42:36. | |
the Battle of Passchendaele, which came to symbolise | :42:37. | :42:40. | |
the horror of the Great War. Three months of fighting | :42:41. | :42:42. | |
killed or injured more When it was over, the Allies | :42:43. | :42:44. | |
had gained five miles Historian Nick Lloyd's book takes | :42:45. | :42:50. | |
a new look at events by using previously unexamined | :42:51. | :42:54. | |
German documents. Nice to see you, it is interesting, | :42:55. | :43:04. | |
isn't it? If you think of World War I, these are the images that spring | :43:05. | :43:09. | |
to mind, and it does paint a picture of the huge death toll on both | :43:10. | :43:13. | |
sides, but you have been looking that in the book, and it is not all | :43:14. | :43:18. | |
as bad as we might think in some respects? No, it isn't. When we | :43:19. | :43:23. | |
think of the Western Front, we think of the horror and slaughter and mud, | :43:24. | :43:27. | |
and we think of Passchendaele, and it is that period on the Western | :43:28. | :43:31. | |
Front where there was heavy rain, and it tends the battlefield into a | :43:32. | :43:35. | |
moonscape of mud. What I try to argue in the book is that part of | :43:36. | :43:40. | |
the battles are not like that, and the British Army are able to do | :43:41. | :43:43. | |
significant damage to the German defenders, so I call it a loss to | :43:44. | :43:48. | |
victory. There is a lot more to the battle than the kind of futility | :43:49. | :43:53. | |
that become so prevalent. Sorry, no, it is hard to call any of this a | :43:54. | :44:00. | |
success, huge death toll, on both sides, 450,000 men for five miles of | :44:01. | :44:05. | |
territory, so not a success, but in terms of what was achieved and how | :44:06. | :44:08. | |
it could have affected the outcome of the war, hugely significant. We | :44:09. | :44:13. | |
have to understand what we mean by success. The British tried to break | :44:14. | :44:18. | |
out and did not achieve that, but when they switched tactics in | :44:19. | :44:22. | |
September to try what we called bite and hold, they are able to do | :44:23. | :44:25. | |
significant damage to the German forces, and the Germans are, by that | :44:26. | :44:31. | |
point, in October, considering a major withdrawal, and other point | :44:32. | :44:36. | |
the rain returns. There had been a period of dry weather, which most | :44:37. | :44:40. | |
people do not recognise. But the rains return, the battlefield is | :44:41. | :44:44. | |
deluged, and then any kind of decisive success kind of slips away. | :44:45. | :44:48. | |
What is also interesting is how you look at the relationship between the | :44:49. | :44:54. | |
War Cabinet, you know, in Downing Street, and what was happening on | :44:55. | :44:57. | |
the ground, and it almost brings a similar story to what we hear today, | :44:58. | :45:02. | |
of how disjointed the message is from central government to actually | :45:03. | :45:08. | |
on the ground, to the military, West added years being hindered by the | :45:09. | :45:14. | |
aims of the War Cabinet. -- where their strategy is being hindered. It | :45:15. | :45:18. | |
is a bit of a mess, Prime Minister David Lloyd George does not want an | :45:19. | :45:27. | |
offensive, does not feel able to rain in Field Marshal Haig, and they | :45:28. | :45:30. | |
have different strategies on whether they should try to break through the | :45:31. | :45:34. | |
Western Front, maybe move trips to Italy to take out the Austrians. | :45:35. | :45:39. | |
There is no clear consensus on what to do to win the war. And also about | :45:40. | :45:44. | |
certain generals with different armies, who had different ambitions, | :45:45. | :45:48. | |
how they didn't correlate - the Allied forces barbs not so much | :45:49. | :45:54. | |
Allied in their strategy. You have different approaches, and this | :45:55. | :45:57. | |
illustrates the degree to which commanders are learning about or | :45:58. | :46:00. | |
trying to find out how to fight on the Western Front. We know there are | :46:01. | :46:05. | |
commanders who want a more aggressive breakthrough, and other | :46:06. | :46:09. | |
commanders who just want to make operations concentrate on killing | :46:10. | :46:12. | |
the enemy. And that kind of dichotomy is central to the British | :46:13. | :46:18. | |
Army in 1917. When I knew I had to read this, I was thinking, great, | :46:19. | :46:23. | |
this will be like a story almost, but the detail in this is fantastic, | :46:24. | :46:27. | |
how many years did you take to research this? It has been a | :46:28. | :46:34. | |
three-year project to write it. It offers some remarkable insights, | :46:35. | :46:37. | |
thank you so much, the book is called Passchendaele: A New History. | :46:38. | :46:38. | |
Thank you. You're watching Breakfast | :46:39. | :46:41. | |
from BBC News. Donald Trump continues | :46:42. | :46:42. | |

of man who'd been restrained Sarah has the details about what the | :46:55. | :47:11. | |
weather will do this weekend, really a bit of a mixed bag depending where | :47:12. | :47:13. | |
you are living. Mixed fortunes, we will all say a | :47:14. | :47:21. | |
little bit of dry and bright weather at times, this is the view at the | :47:22. | :47:25. | |
moment into again, some blue sky and sunshine around, but increasing | :47:26. | :47:29. | |
amounts of cloud heading in from the south. We look at the satellite | :47:30. | :47:33. | |
image, you can see clear skies and sunshine across central and eastern | :47:34. | :47:37. | |
areas, more clouds towards the north-west and sitting through the | :47:38. | :47:40. | |
English Channel, but a weather front which is going to be bringing some | :47:41. | :47:43. | |
rain to parts of southern England as we head over the next few hours. | :47:44. | :47:48. | |
Further north, sunny spells and scattered showers rattling in around | :47:49. | :47:52. | |
an area of low pressure. In between there is sunnier and drier weather | :47:53. | :47:56. | |
to be enjoyed through the day, so by the afternoon, four o'clock, plenty | :47:57. | :48:01. | |
of showers across Scotland and Northern Ireland, rattling through | :48:02. | :48:04. | |
quite quickly on the breeze, so sunshine in between. Your showers | :48:05. | :48:07. | |
and more sunshine for Northern England into the North Midlands and | :48:08. | :48:12. | |
Wales, but you can still catch a rogue shower here. Further south, | :48:13. | :48:15. | |
cloud and rain down to the weather front pushing its way north out of | :48:16. | :48:19. | |
the English Channel, so quite windy, quite wet across the south coast, up | :48:20. | :48:25. | |
towards East Anglia too. After a dry starred for the third test at the | :48:26. | :48:29. | |
Oval, rain interrupting play at times during the course of the | :48:30. | :48:33. | |
afternoon, turning breezy. Through this evening and overnight, that | :48:34. | :48:36. | |
reign of the south edges its way northwards, so much of England and | :48:37. | :48:44. | |
Wales will see showers, further showers across the north-west of the | :48:45. | :48:50. | |
UK later, with temperatures falling to 10-15d. Through the day tomorrow, | :48:51. | :48:56. | |
low pressure, this front veering towards the east, low pressure | :48:57. | :48:59. | |
towards the north-west, feeding in further showers. Through the day | :49:00. | :49:04. | |
tomorrow, sunny spells and blustery showers, showers most frequent and | :49:05. | :49:08. | |
heaviest in the north and west, with thunderstorms likely, then drifting | :49:09. | :49:13. | |
eastwards through the day, temperatures 15-21d. A few showers | :49:14. | :49:17. | |
in the south-east, mainly dry for the cycling event, Ride London | :49:18. | :49:24. | |
tomorrow. High pressure will try to nudge in from the South on Monday, | :49:25. | :49:27. | |
still some showers in the North and West, but a hint of drier and | :49:28. | :49:31. | |
brighter weather in the south-east. Back to you both. | :49:32. | :49:36. | |
Thanks very much for that, enjoy the weekend! | :49:37. | :49:39. | |
Our next guest arrived in the UK as a refugee when he was 15. | :49:40. | :49:42. | |
He was born in Kabul, grew up in Pakistan | :49:43. | :49:44. | |
and spent his childhood in cellars, hiding from daily rockets and bombs. | :49:45. | :49:47. | |
After graduating from Cambridge he became a doctor but has now taken | :49:48. | :49:50. | |
a career break to launch a new scheme, which is saving lives | :49:51. | :49:53. | |
His telemedicine system allows doctors in war zones to get help | :49:54. | :50:00. | |
from specialist in the West. Before we meet him, take a look at this | :50:01. | :50:03. | |
report from world affairs editor John Simpson. | :50:04. | :50:06. | |
We hear plenty of depressing stories about Afghanistan, | :50:07. | :50:08. | |
Afghanistan has one of the lowest standards | :50:09. | :50:14. | |
of medical care in the world - the doctors often aren't | :50:15. | :50:19. | |
very highly trained, and their equipment is pretty basic. | :50:20. | :50:23. | |
But they can contact Dr Waheed Arian. | :50:24. | :50:30. | |
An Afghan who qualified as a doctor in Britain, | :50:31. | :50:34. | |
he can give them detailed medical advice using social media - | :50:35. | :50:39. | |
from his home in Chester, he takes messages day and night. | :50:40. | :50:43. | |
They don't have the up-to-date technologies, they don't have | :50:44. | :50:49. | |
the cutting-edge expertise, they don't have advanced | :50:50. | :50:52. | |
So they need any expertise or any advice that's more world-class here, | :50:53. | :50:59. | |
So I'll take the arrow and place it... | :51:00. | :51:08. | |
Now he and his team are developing new ways | :51:09. | :51:12. | |
of showing doctors there what to do. | :51:13. | :51:16. | |
It went very well - we discussed a medical case, | :51:17. | :51:19. | |
we solved the problem, it was a live case in one | :51:20. | :51:22. | |
of the hospitals in Kabul, Afghanistan, and using augmented | :51:23. | :51:24. | |
reality, we discussed it, and we managed the problem. | :51:25. | :51:30. | |
As a boy in the 1980s, Waheed had to escape | :51:31. | :51:33. | |
from the Russians who'd invaded his country. | :51:34. | :51:37. | |
He and his family were lucky to survive. | :51:38. | :51:40. | |
When civil war flared up in Afghanistan, | :51:41. | :51:42. | |
his parents sent him on his own to Britain. | :51:43. | :51:47. | |
He was 15 and didn't speak much English, | :51:48. | :51:51. | |
yet within four years he was studying medicine at Cambridge. | :51:52. | :51:54. | |
And he became passionate about helping people | :51:55. | :51:56. | |
I'd seen so much suffering in my childhood, and that suffering | :51:57. | :52:03. | |
was still very vivid in my memory, and I wanted to see if I could help | :52:04. | :52:08. | |
in any way alleviate that suffering from many people that | :52:09. | :52:11. | |
were in a similar position to mine as a child. | :52:12. | :52:17. | |
He doesn't get much time with his family in Chester. | :52:18. | :52:20. | |
He's taken leave of absence to develop his telemedicine ideas, | :52:21. | :52:24. | |
he has to work every weekend as an A doctor. | :52:25. | :52:32. | |
Yes, he is away a lot, and it can be hard, | :52:33. | :52:36. | |
and it can be lonely at times, when you are on your own, | :52:37. | :52:40. | |
and you're seeing all the other families out, but on the other side, | :52:41. | :52:44. | |
I know that he's amazing things for humanity, | :52:45. | :52:46. | |
he's going to be saving thousands of lives, so I look at the positive. | :52:47. | :52:50. | |
We've come a long way in just two years, and where helping in places | :52:51. | :52:54. | |
that have no other support, and this is so important. | :52:55. | :52:56. | |
Lives are at stake, and we can help save those lives. | :52:57. | :53:01. | |
Helping others in Afghanistan to survive is, he says, his therapy. | :53:02. | :53:09. | |
Dr Waheed Arian is joining us now on the sofa. | :53:10. | :53:19. | |
Welcome to Breakfast. Thank you for having me. We now know how you got | :53:20. | :53:26. | |
to where you are, but your ambition now to help people in war-torn | :53:27. | :53:34. | |
countries, or where medics are struggling to get other help, what | :53:35. | :53:39. | |
are you doing? So we have got a telemedicine organisation with | :53:40. | :53:43. | |
around nearly 100 volunteers, and we use text, phone and voice, face time | :53:44. | :53:50. | |
on our smartphones to advise medics in war-torn countries, as well as | :53:51. | :53:54. | |
low resource countries. Do they call you during routine examinations or | :53:55. | :54:00. | |
in emergency situations Kaymer we cover both emergency and | :54:01. | :54:04. | |
non-emergency situations, and that is what sets us apart from other | :54:05. | :54:09. | |
organisations. They can call us 24/7, any time they would like, and | :54:10. | :54:14. | |
we cover all the specialities, and they can get a response in less than | :54:15. | :54:20. | |
four hours. The thing that might surprise many people as the | :54:21. | :54:26. | |
infrastructure that this needs, good connectivity, Wi-Fi in many cases, | :54:27. | :54:29. | |
and in some of the images from war-torn countries, there is at the | :54:30. | :54:33. | |
devastation, and yet the network seems pretty reliable, and that | :54:34. | :54:37. | |
means you can do this, you can share images, high-resolution images of | :54:38. | :54:42. | |
things like x-rays and medical scans. Absolutely, when I graduated | :54:43. | :54:47. | |
as a doctor, I kept going back to help in anyway I could, and I | :54:48. | :54:51. | |
couldn't find other doctors to come with me, because it is risky, so I | :54:52. | :54:56. | |
have to think hard to find a solution, and that is how I came | :54:57. | :55:00. | |
across telemedicine, but I modified and when I set up the charity, with | :55:01. | :55:07. | |
live discussion. And you are having discussions with the NHS about | :55:08. | :55:12. | |
implementing this? We hope to collaborate with some bodies within | :55:13. | :55:15. | |
the NHS and Health Education England to bring back the learning, the | :55:16. | :55:19. | |
research from all around the world to the NHS. I am here because of the | :55:20. | :55:25. | |
NHS, and I would like to give back on a massive scale, and we have all | :55:26. | :55:30. | |
seen and had experiences of the infrastructure in other countries, | :55:31. | :55:33. | |
and the NHS is the best structure I have seen, but we can help enhance | :55:34. | :55:38. | |
the structure even more. Thank you very much for coming in and telling | :55:39. | :55:40. | |
your story, good luck with your work. | :55:41. | :55:42. | |
Viewers in the North West of England can watch the full | :55:43. | :55:46. | |
documentary, Waheed's Wars - Saving Lives Across The World, | :55:47. | :55:48. | |
It will then be available on the iPlayer shortly after. | :55:49. | :55:54. | |
Indie rock band Courteeners have had a busy few years, with five albums, | :55:55. | :55:57. | |
appearances at Glastonbury, and the recent concert in the wake | :55:58. | :55:59. | |
In a moment, we'll be joined by the band's frontman, Liam Fray, | :56:00. | :56:06. | |
who can tell us what's coming up next, | :56:07. | :56:08. | |
but first here they are in action. | :56:09. | :56:13. | |
That gets you in the mood for the weekend, doesn't it? Welcome, what | :56:14. | :56:53. | |
are you up to, and acoustic tour? Yeah, I am going to go out on my own | :56:54. | :56:59. | |
and do some acoustic dates. And you are announcing them on Breakfast. I | :57:00. | :57:03. | |
am pretty sure this is an exclusive for you guys, I am going to go out | :57:04. | :57:07. | |
and do a few dates, intimate venues, play a few rather micro sites, | :57:08. | :57:13. | |
things people haven't heard in a while. What does it let you do that | :57:14. | :57:19. | |
you can't do with the band? I guess it is free reign, there is no | :57:20. | :57:23. | |
pressure, I guess, because when you are doing the bigger gate and | :57:24. | :57:26. | |
something goes wrong, people point the finger. But when it is just me, | :57:27. | :57:31. | |
I am allowed to mess up. Doesn't that mean there is even more | :57:32. | :57:35. | |
pressure? No, it is a weird one, not necessarily. But it would be good to | :57:36. | :57:41. | |
get back, just me and six strings, place in smaller venues. And play | :57:42. | :57:48. | |
the B-sides, often when people go to see a band, they want the hits they | :57:49. | :57:52. | |
know. We are lucky because we have got such a loyal fan base, they get | :57:53. | :57:57. | |
into the back catalogue, so some of the old stuff, it is never played, | :57:58. | :58:04. | |
ever, and then maybe some bits of some new stuff as well. I have got | :58:05. | :58:09. | |
to ask you, we have been morning Wet Wet Wet, although we did not know | :58:10. | :58:12. | |
that they hadn't split up, but is this the end of the Courteeners? No, | :58:13. | :58:19. | |
I mean, yeah, although I am pretty sure some people might want that! | :58:20. | :58:25. | |
But no, we are not going anywhere. You played a gig at Old Trafford in | :58:26. | :58:30. | |
the wake of the terrorist attacks, a really significant event, what was | :58:31. | :58:37. | |
it like? I mean, it was such an horrific week, time, tragedy, | :58:38. | :58:40. | |
everything was just so intense around it and stuff. It became, | :58:41. | :58:45. | |
obviously, it wasn't about us, about Courteeners, it was about everybody | :58:46. | :58:50. | |
else, and I am proud as a Mancunian to see everybody pulled together, I | :58:51. | :58:55. | |
suppose. It really was an amazing event, thank you so much for coming | :58:56. | :59:01. | |
in, good luck on your own, enjoy it! Liam Craig from the Courteeners. | :59:02. | :59:06. | |
That is it from us today. I am back tomorrow with Rachel, see | :59:07. | :59:07. | |
you then, bye-bye. Join us, as the Alaskan summer feast | :59:08. | :59:22. | |
