:00:07. > :00:08.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Naga

:00:09. > :00:12.Thousands of extra mental health workers are to be recruited

:00:13. > :00:17.The Government says it wants to treat another million people

:00:18. > :00:37.by 2021, but health unions say the figures don't add up.

:00:38. > :00:49.Also this morning: Remembering Passchendaele.

:00:50. > :00:51.Commemorations have begun to mark the centenary of one

:00:52. > :00:57.of the bloodiest battles of the First World War.

:00:58. > :00:59.The Real Madrid footballer Cristiano Ronaldo will appear

:01:00. > :01:01.in court this morning charged with evading millions

:01:02. > :01:09.Lenders could be asked to do more checks on borrowers,

:01:10. > :01:11.particularly those in financial difficulties, as a report

:01:12. > :01:13.by the regulator is published this morning.

:01:14. > :01:16.I will have more on that a little later.

:01:17. > :01:19.In sport: England are into the semi-finals of the European

:01:20. > :01:28.Jodie Taylor scored the winner, as the Lionesses beat France 1-0.

:01:29. > :01:37.Good morning. Today's the Day of sunshine and showers, especially in

:01:38. > :01:41.Central and northern areas. They will be fewer and further between

:01:42. > :01:43.them were yesterday. That leads us into a showery start to the week.

:01:44. > :01:46.First, our main story: Thousands of extra mental health workers

:01:47. > :01:49.are to be recruited by the NHS in England.

:01:50. > :01:52.The Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, said the aim is to treat an extra

:01:53. > :01:57.The Royal College of Nursing has questioned how so many staff can be

:01:58. > :02:00.hired and trained in such a short space of time.

:02:01. > :02:06.Here is more from our health correspondent Dominic Hughes.

:02:07. > :02:13.Ministers in England have already acknowledged the treatment offered

:02:14. > :02:16.to patients struggling with mental health problems suffers in

:02:17. > :02:19.comparison to those with physical ailments. An extra ?1 billion in

:02:20. > :02:23.funding for mental health services in England was promised last year.

:02:24. > :02:28.Now we know that some of that cash will be spent on recruiting

:02:29. > :02:31.thousands of extra nurses, doctors, psychologist and other clinicians.

:02:32. > :02:35.The plan includes recruiting 2000 staff to work in child and

:02:36. > :02:42.adolescent mental health services. Nearly 3000 extra therapists working

:02:43. > :02:46.with adults. And an extra 4800 staff, mostly nurses, working in

:02:47. > :02:50.crisis came. It was mental health services have been underfunded for

:02:51. > :02:55.such a long time, this initiative in and of itself will not help us to

:02:56. > :03:00.achieve the parity that so many of us want. But what it will do is set

:03:01. > :03:03.the foundations to be able to look forward to a future where mental

:03:04. > :03:07.health is treated an equal footing to physical health. But simply

:03:08. > :03:12.creating post does not always mean you can find the staff to fill them.

:03:13. > :03:16.These jobs are among the most challenging in the health service.

:03:17. > :03:20.Data published last week showed that even before this latest recruitment

:03:21. > :03:21.drive many thousands of nursing posts across the wider NHS remain

:03:22. > :03:23.unfilled. Prince Charles will attend

:03:24. > :03:25.the second day of commemorations to mark the 100th anniversary

:03:26. > :03:28.of the start of the Battle of 500,000 Allied and German

:03:29. > :03:33.soldiers were killed, wounded or went missing in action

:03:34. > :03:36.during the three months of fighting In Flanders Fields, the poppies blow

:03:37. > :03:48.between the crosses... In Ypres' main square last night,

:03:49. > :03:51.Dame Helen Mirren spoke the words of the war poet John McCrae,

:03:52. > :03:54.who recounted the horror The larks, still

:03:55. > :03:56.bravely singing, fly. Winston Churchill wanted to keep

:03:57. > :04:20.the ruins of Ypres preserved for posterity, so we

:04:21. > :04:23.would not forget. But, instead, it was agreed the city

:04:24. > :04:26.would be rebuilt exactly The story of men now gone was retold

:04:27. > :04:37.in a place that has kept its promise and continues to

:04:38. > :04:38.remember their passing. Officially known as the Third Battle

:04:39. > :04:41.of Ypres, Passchendaele lasted until November 1917,

:04:42. > :04:43.fought in the west Flanders region It became infamous not only

:04:44. > :04:47.for the number of deaths, Constant shelling and the heaviest

:04:48. > :04:51.rain for 30 years created a muddy wasteland, that became so deep,

:04:52. > :04:54.men and horses drowned in it. The Last Post has been played

:04:55. > :05:12.at Ypres through the decades. The Menin Gate has over 54,000 names

:05:13. > :05:16.carved into its stone, remembering those who

:05:17. > :05:20.have no known grave. It marks where the troops marched

:05:21. > :05:23.when heading to the battlefields. The Dude and Duchess of Cambridge

:05:24. > :05:26.attended a ceremony of remembrance there, together with

:05:27. > :05:30.the Prime Minister. With the sounding of this bugle

:05:31. > :05:37.call, the 250,000 British and Commonwealth soldiers

:05:38. > :05:42.who were killed on the Ypres Salient during the First World

:05:43. > :05:46.War are remembered. The defence of the city at such

:05:47. > :05:49.great cost meant that it Today's commemorations will continue

:05:50. > :05:59.with a special service at Tyne Cot Cemetery,

:06:00. > :06:01.where thousands are buried. Such was the slaughter, the majority

:06:02. > :06:04.of the graves remain unmarked. The Chancellor, Philip Hammond,

:06:05. > :06:13.appears to have stepped back from a suggestion that the UK

:06:14. > :06:16.could cut taxes and regulation in a bid to undercut EU

:06:17. > :06:18.countries after Brexit. In an interview with the French

:06:19. > :06:21.newspaper Le Monde, he says the Government has no plans to make

:06:22. > :06:25.big changes to tax policy in order His remarks are in sharp contrast

:06:26. > :06:29.with what he said earlier The United States says

:06:30. > :06:37.President Putin's decision to order 755 of its diplomatic staff to leave

:06:38. > :06:40.Russia is unjustified. They have been told

:06:41. > :06:42.to leave by one September. The move is in retaliation

:06:43. > :06:46.for new sanctions approved by the US Congress for Russia's alleged

:06:47. > :06:48.involvement in last year's presidential election

:06:49. > :07:00.and the annexation of Crimea. The High Court will today

:07:01. > :07:02.decide whether Tony Blair, former Foreign Secretary Jack Straw,

:07:03. > :07:05.and former attorney general Lord Goldsmith can be prosecuted

:07:06. > :07:08.over the 2003 Iraq War. The attempt to bring them to court

:07:09. > :07:11.was launched by a former Iraqi general, Abdulwaheed al-Rabbat,

:07:12. > :07:13.who calls the invasion A dedicated mental health service

:07:14. > :07:23.has been set up to help people affected by the

:07:24. > :07:24.Manchester Arena attack. 22 people were killed

:07:25. > :07:27.when a homemade bomb was detonated Doctors say the NHS service

:07:28. > :07:32.is specifically for those closest to the victims, or those

:07:33. > :07:35.who witnessed the attack and who may need extra support

:07:36. > :07:40.dealing with the trauma. Footballer Cristiano Ronaldo

:07:41. > :07:42.will appear in court in Madrid today He is the latest player to fall

:07:43. > :07:50.foul of Spain's taxman, and will attend a hearing to answer

:07:51. > :07:53.four counts of tax evasion. Our sports correspondent

:07:54. > :07:55.Richard Conway has the details. He is one of the highest-paid sports

:07:56. > :07:58.stars on the planet. But Spanish tax authorities allege

:07:59. > :08:01.Cristiano Ronaldo hid around $70 They also claim the Real Madrid

:08:02. > :08:15.and Portugal star only declared around a quarter of his pay over

:08:16. > :08:18.a three-year period from 2011-2014. As one of the world's most

:08:19. > :08:20.marketable individuals, Cristiano Ronaldo has secured

:08:21. > :08:24.a string of lucrative endorsements, But it is claimed he failed

:08:25. > :08:29.to declare $33 million of such income when he sold five

:08:30. > :08:32.years of his image rights He denies all the allegations,

:08:33. > :08:37.and says his conscience is clear. But he is not the only football star

:08:38. > :08:40.to face such scrutiny in Spain. Last year, Barcelona's Lionel Messi

:08:41. > :08:43.was convicted on the same charge Meanwhile, Manchester Unity manager

:08:44. > :08:53.Jose Mourinho is under investigation for alleged facing tax fraud

:08:54. > :08:56.from the time when was in charge Other big names in the game

:08:57. > :08:59.face similar claims. After already threatened to leave

:09:00. > :09:02.Spain, given his anger over the claims against him,

:09:03. > :09:05.Cristiano Ronaldo says he will now With a potential fine of ?25 million

:09:06. > :09:17.hanging over him if found guilty, that may require

:09:18. > :09:19.a lot of win bonuses. HIV testing should be offered

:09:20. > :09:23.to patients when they register with a new GP in areas

:09:24. > :09:27.where there are high rates of infection, according

:09:28. > :09:28.to new research. More than 13,000 people are unaware

:09:29. > :09:31.that they have the condition, and researchers from two London

:09:32. > :09:33.universities say screening Our health correspondent

:09:34. > :09:44.Jane Dreaper reports. A simple finger prick test -

:09:45. > :09:47.that is all that is needed now to find

:09:48. > :09:50.out whether you have HIV. GPs' surgeries in some parts

:09:51. > :09:53.of London are making this This study says those efforts should

:09:54. > :09:58.be much more widespread. The researchers looked at surgeries

:09:59. > :10:01.where new patients are offered a HIV This led to a much higher rate

:10:02. > :10:05.of diagnosing the virus. The authors say the benefits mean

:10:06. > :10:12.more screening is affordable. That means they carry the virus

:10:13. > :10:18.without actually knowing it. So having an HIV test

:10:19. > :10:22.at your surgery will allow you to have access to excellent

:10:23. > :10:27.treatment, but then also prevent people - prevent you from passing

:10:28. > :10:31.on the virus to someone else. Routine testing has previously been

:10:32. > :10:33.recommended by Public Health England But investment in testing has fallen

:10:34. > :10:42.in some areas because of financial pressures on local authorities'

:10:43. > :10:46.public health budgets. The charity Terrence Higgins Trust

:10:47. > :10:48.called on healthcare commissioners Dozens of people were left suspended

:10:49. > :10:54.in mid-air after a cable car came to a stop over the River

:10:55. > :10:57.Rhine, in Germany. Fire crews and rescue teams

:10:58. > :11:00.in Cologne used a crane to reach the 75 trapped passengers,

:11:01. > :11:03.some of whom were left 130 A number of children

:11:04. > :11:21.were lowered to the ground. That would have been so frightening.

:11:22. > :11:27.Yes, just exactly what you don't want to happen! But everyone was OK,

:11:28. > :11:33.so it is all right. Sally has the sport, and we have great news. How

:11:34. > :11:37.are you feeling about the Euros at the moment? Is in how are they

:11:38. > :11:43.doing? I have a feeling England will do very, very well. An exciting game

:11:44. > :11:48.last night, fantastic win for them. You can see when they play together

:11:49. > :11:50.they are such a tight unit. They get on so brilliantly well, they are on

:11:51. > :11:52.something of a roll. England's women are

:11:53. > :11:53.into the semi-finals of the European Championships,

:11:54. > :11:56.beating France for the first time Jodie Taylor scored the crucial goal

:11:57. > :12:01.that gave England the 1-0 victory. They will face the hosts, Holland,

:12:02. > :12:08.in the last four on Thursday. England's cricketers enter the final

:12:09. > :12:11.day of the third Test against South Africa needing six

:12:12. > :12:16.wickets to go ahead in the series. Lewis Hamilton could end up counting

:12:17. > :12:19.the cost of keeping a promise. He handed third place

:12:20. > :12:21.to teammate Valtteri Bottas at the Hungarian Grand Prix,

:12:22. > :12:23.allowing race winner Sebastian Vettel to extend

:12:24. > :12:28.his championship lead. Wigan Warriors beat

:12:29. > :12:31.Salford Red Devils to reach the Challenge Cup final,

:12:32. > :12:33.where they will meet the holders, And it is medal number seven

:12:34. > :12:42.for Great Britain on the final day Adam Peaty helps the men's team

:12:43. > :12:51.to a medley relay silver. A music festival has been called

:12:52. > :12:59.off partway through, due to safety concerns

:13:00. > :13:02.after heavy rain and wind. Severe weather on Friday night

:13:03. > :13:06.turned much of the Y Not site, near Matlock, into a mud bath,

:13:07. > :13:09.and stopped several acts, including headliners

:13:10. > :13:20.The Vaccines, performing. Fans on social media demanded

:13:21. > :13:23.refunds, which organisers have promised to provide

:13:24. > :13:36.further information on. When you go to a festival you expect

:13:37. > :13:40.a bit of mud, but that looks like too much mud. Completely off the

:13:41. > :13:45.scale. Could you have predicted that kind of mud with the weather, Carol?

:13:46. > :13:52.Certainly predicted the rain. Not all festivals were affected. We were

:13:53. > :13:56.in pretty good shape on Saturday. It is disappointing if you were at that

:13:57. > :13:59.festival. We had a lot of rain yesterday as well and some heavy

:14:00. > :14:03.showers in Northern Ireland, for example. In the next few days the

:14:04. > :14:07.forecast is for sunny spells, although fewer showers than we had

:14:08. > :14:11.at the weekend. Low pressure still very much dominating our weather.

:14:12. > :14:15.You can tell from the space in the isobars it is just breezy, nothing

:14:16. > :14:22.too strong and this morning we have some rain. This weather front is

:14:23. > :14:26.moving north-east, taking rein with it with some showers following on

:14:27. > :14:30.behind. A lot of dry weather to use up the day, but equally a lot of

:14:31. > :14:32.showers. This band of rain continues to sweep north eastwards across

:14:33. > :14:35.Scotland. For Northern Ireland and northern England there are some

:14:36. > :14:39.showers around, the same across parts of Wales. Drift further east

:14:40. > :14:43.and we have some brighter skies and dry conditions. A few showers around

:14:44. > :14:47.Gloucestershire into Somerset, into Cornwall as well. Not all of us will

:14:48. > :14:52.see them as we head towards East Anglia and Kent. Yesterday in Kent

:14:53. > :14:56.it was very wet. As we go through the course of the day we will see

:14:57. > :15:00.further showers develop, especially across central and northern areas.

:15:01. > :15:04.Some of those could be slow-moving, heavy and thundery with some hail in

:15:05. > :15:07.between there will be bright spells of sunshine. There will be fewer

:15:08. > :15:13.showers in the south, and less intense. In the sunshine, highs up

:15:14. > :15:16.to 23 will feel pleasant enough in light breezes. As we head on through

:15:17. > :15:20.the evening and overnight many of the showers will tend to fade. We

:15:21. > :15:24.still have some coming in from the west. Some of them will form lines

:15:25. > :15:28.in the second half of the night in some western areas, and temperatures

:15:29. > :15:32.at 11 to about 14 as our overnight lows. So not desperately cold if you

:15:33. > :15:36.are camping it is worth taking some extra layers with you. Tomorrow we

:15:37. > :15:41.start off with some sunshine and showers. Showers becoming more

:15:42. > :15:44.prolific as we go through the course of the day. Again, some of them with

:15:45. > :15:50.hail and thunder and lightning in them. Not all of us seeing them, and

:15:51. > :15:53.highs in the south-east of 22 to 24. It will feel pleasantly warm. From

:15:54. > :15:57.Tuesday into Wednesday we have our next area of low pressure coming our

:15:58. > :16:01.way. With the attendant fronts ringing in some rain and you can

:16:02. > :16:04.tell from the squeeze on those isobars that it will feel that bit

:16:05. > :16:09.windier. On Wednesday we start off on a dry note for central and

:16:10. > :16:13.eastern areas. Even some sunshine. But then this rain starts to career

:16:14. > :16:17.in from the south-west across the Channel Island into the Isles of

:16:18. > :16:20.Scilly, and you can see by the middle of the afternoon in a line

:16:21. > :16:25.from the Isle of Wight towards south-west Scotland and all points

:16:26. > :16:28.west. Highs by then up to 21. In summary, for the week ahead,

:16:29. > :16:32.sunshine and showers for the first couple of days. Then we will see

:16:33. > :16:34.some rain coming our way, and with that rain it is going to turn that

:16:35. > :16:45.bit windier. Thank you very much. A look through

:16:46. > :16:53.the papers. Very welcome. Morning to you. Let's look at the front pages.

:16:54. > :16:57.First, the Daily Telegraph, you can see the Duke and Duchess there.

:16:58. > :17:01.Commemorations for Passchendaele. Going across yesterday but also into

:17:02. > :17:07.today. We will be live there later on in the programme. The main story

:17:08. > :17:13.in connection, this is holiday car rental insurance. Drivers may be

:17:14. > :17:20.ripped off when they go rent a car. On the front page of The Times here.

:17:21. > :17:26.The Menin Gate in Ypres marking the centenary of the First World War

:17:27. > :17:35.battle. Gathering there at Passchendaele. "Hammond We Won't Be

:17:36. > :17:40.A Tax Haven After Brexit" Britain will not cut that to undercut

:17:41. > :17:44.European rivals. It is a marked softening of tone as the Chancellor

:17:45. > :17:50.is saying that there won't be these clashes between the EU as we leave

:17:51. > :17:55.the European Union. Front pages, this is about a documentary coming

:17:56. > :18:02.up in an interview with Princess Diana, it is being used on the front

:18:03. > :18:10.page of The Mirror and The Sun. What have you got? I have some news here.

:18:11. > :18:15.We have a picture of Andy Holt who has invested in his club. They've

:18:16. > :18:20.put a new drain in so fans who go to the toilet at half-time can wash

:18:21. > :18:30.their hands. And they can flush the toilets too. The plumbing was that

:18:31. > :18:33.bad? Yes. If the sprinklers were on the water would cut off everywhere

:18:34. > :18:42.else. The water system will work now. I'm sure many fans will be

:18:43. > :18:46.grateful for that now. Progress. Talking a bit this morning about

:18:47. > :18:52.crackdown on loans to vulnerable customers. This in The Times. A

:18:53. > :18:55.report about pay day loans, overdraft fees, lending to more

:18:56. > :19:00.vulnerable borrowers and want banks and lenders should be doing about

:19:01. > :19:04.that. A little one in The Guardian, we'll be talking about fifth of

:19:05. > :19:08.estate agents could go out of business partly because this report

:19:09. > :19:13.says online estate agents have had such a big growth in the last few

:19:14. > :19:17.months and years. Are people now just turning more and more online?

:19:18. > :19:23.Is the high street estate agent as we know it on the way? We'll discuss

:19:24. > :19:28.that. I raised your statistic with another. 12% of young people have

:19:29. > :19:33.never seen a cow. 12% of young people, one in eight young people

:19:34. > :19:37.have never seen a cow in real life. They've seen a picture but not one

:19:38. > :19:41.in real life. That's according to a survey. Unless you travel out into

:19:42. > :19:46.the country you're not going to. That's the thing. No statistics but

:19:47. > :19:50.I want to show you spourtsmanship from yesterday. They're talking

:19:51. > :19:54.about -- sportsmanship from yesterday. They're talking about the

:19:55. > :19:59.Grand Prix. Lewis Hamilton wanted to have a go add overtaking the two

:20:00. > :20:04.Ferraris. When he wanted to do that, his team-mate was ahead of him. He

:20:05. > :20:10.said let me get past him, go and see if I can get one or two of those

:20:11. > :20:15.Ferraris, if I can't, he can have his place back, reclaim it. He had a

:20:16. > :20:19.go. Couldn't do it and Valtteri Bottas got his place back which is a

:20:20. > :20:27.sportsmanlike gesture. Interesting the Mercedes team-mates are very

:20:28. > :20:30.much seen as equals. They're not given preferential orders, unless

:20:31. > :20:35.the Ferraris which favour Sebastian Vettel as driver number one. No

:20:36. > :20:44.statistics but a long word here. Would you like to have a go at it:

:20:45. > :20:52.Tell me I'm wrong. You don't know. Maybe the last syllable is slightly

:20:53. > :20:57.wrong. I thought that was marvellous. It is a serious word.

:20:58. > :21:02.It's a form of lung disease but a 16-year-old has made it into the

:21:03. > :21:08.record books by using the longest word ever spoken in the Commons. The

:21:09. > :21:14.previous record was held by a Conservative MP. He used a different

:22:02. > :22:05.anniversary of the start of the Battle of Passchendaele. Infamous

:22:06. > :22:09.not only for the scale of the casualties, also for the dreadful

:22:10. > :22:15.weather conditions. Constant shelling churned the clay soil and

:22:16. > :22:23.smashed the drainage systems and heavy rain turned the soil into a

:22:24. > :22:37.quagmire. Bert Fearns was lucky enough to survive.

:22:38. > :22:44.They were establishing themselves in this field before moving on another

:22:45. > :22:48.two miles to make the very first attacks on the Passchendaele Ridge.

:22:49. > :22:52.The weather was very different to today. It was appalling weather.

:22:53. > :22:57.Bert and his comrades, hundreds, thousands of them, were in these

:22:58. > :23:03.fields around us in shell holes. Let's hear Bert's own memories which

:23:04. > :23:11.you recorded 21 years ago? All around us seemed to be nothing more

:23:12. > :23:16.than the sea of gluttonous mud. You couldn't dig any trenches. We used

:23:17. > :23:22.to dig the side of the shallow out and let it drain out a bit, to make

:23:23. > :23:27.it possible to stay in it. Instead of standing in water. Andwurt his

:23:28. > :23:33.pals are leaving at dusk -- Bert and his pals are leaving at dusk.

:23:34. > :23:39.They're on an 18-inch wide track. I won't call it a march. It was a

:23:40. > :23:47.trudge. We were very often taking a quarter of an hour to go a couple of

:23:48. > :23:53.yards. Men were falling in to shallows. We got some out and there

:23:54. > :23:56.were some we couldn't get out. And the point Wozniacki it worth

:23:57. > :24:02.rescuing two men's lives to save one? They walked for 10 hours and

:24:03. > :24:09.this is where they end up, their jumping off point. He sheltered

:24:10. > :24:15.behind this bunker. Turned his rifle upside down and fell asleep on the

:24:16. > :24:24.stock. I was too exhausted to have any feeling at all. I never got that

:24:25. > :24:29.exhilaration at the time. It was just a case of, "Go, lads," and you

:24:30. > :24:33.wentd. He crested that rise and dropped down into a dip on the other

:24:34. > :24:37.side. And it was there that he told me about an experience which he

:24:38. > :24:48.recalled every single day for the rest of his life. We came across

:24:49. > :24:55.what would have been about 100 yards square of bodies that had been

:24:56. > :25:00.caught in an artillery shrapnel attack. They were absolutely

:25:01. > :25:06.massacred and they were cut to pieces. I did 65 hours or more of

:25:07. > :25:09.interviews with Bert Fearns. He always believed that his battalion

:25:10. > :25:14.had reached their objective. They hadn't. They got nowhere near it. In

:25:15. > :25:20.actual fact, Passchendaele church, which is almost within touching

:25:21. > :25:26.distance here, it took another six weeks and thousands of lives to get

:25:27. > :25:32.there. In the end, the only thing we could do was turn back to almost -

:25:33. > :25:40.not quite as far - but almost from where we started. The whole thing

:25:41. > :25:44.was a dismal failure. What's so moving hearing that first-hand

:25:45. > :25:48.evidence from Bert Fearns and our thanks to Bert Fearns's family to

:25:49. > :25:52.give us permission to replay his memories in that film. Last night

:25:53. > :25:56.commemorations to mark the 100th anniversary of the start of the

:25:57. > :26:00.fighting at Passchendaele got under way at the Menin Gate at Ypres.

:26:19. > :26:24.projections. That's the historic Cloth Hall which you can see right

:26:25. > :26:32.now. There was also a specially written piece by the War Horse

:31:28. > :31:32.hired and trained in such a short space of time.

:31:33. > :31:35.Here is more from our health correspondent Dominic Hughes.

:31:36. > :31:37.Ministers in England have already acknowledged the treatment offered

:31:42. > :31:44.An extra ?1 billion in funding for mental health services

:31:45. > :31:49.Now, we know that some of that cash will be spent on recruiting

:31:50. > :31:52.thousands of extra nurses, doctors, psychologist and other clinicians.

:31:53. > :31:54.The plan includes recruiting 2,000 staff to work in child

:31:55. > :31:57.and adolescent mental health services, nearly 3,000 extra

:31:58. > :32:02.therapists working with adults, and an extra 4,800 staff,

:32:03. > :32:09.mostly nurses, working in crisis came.

:32:10. > :32:15.Because mental health services have been underfunded for such a long

:32:16. > :32:22.time, this initiative, in and of itself will not help us

:32:23. > :32:25.to achieve the parity that so many of us want.

:32:26. > :32:29.But what it will do is set the foundations to be able to look

:32:30. > :32:32.forward to a future where mental health is treated on an equal

:35:30. > :35:36.love to walk it, would you? Yes, it is absolutely stunning. Sally

:35:37. > :35:40.doesn't look convinced. Not if you paid me. I actually can't look at

:35:41. > :35:45.those pictures, it makes me feel like I am going to fall over. It is

:35:46. > :35:51.just so narrow, and... Anyway. Who cares about a bridge. We have great

:35:52. > :35:59.news to talk about. England are doing fantastically at the women's

:36:00. > :36:03.Euros. One thing really struck me. When those footballers fell over,

:36:04. > :36:09.they got back up again. Did you notice that? Says it all, doesn't

:36:10. > :36:11.it? Wasn't quite as much rolling about in agony going on. Just

:36:12. > :36:12.getting on with it. England are through to

:36:13. > :36:15.the semi-finals of the Women's A single goal from Jodie Taylor

:36:16. > :36:19.secured the Lionesses' first victory Next up for Mark Sampson's side

:36:20. > :36:23.are the tournament hosts, the Netherlands, who they will

:36:24. > :36:26.play on Thursday night. Our correspondent Katie

:36:27. > :36:37.Gornall was at the match. England advance, and it feels like a

:36:38. > :36:41.huge step forward. France had beaten them in the last three major

:36:42. > :36:46.tournaments. Finally it was England's term. It just shows, the

:36:47. > :36:51.celebration on the pitch, how much it means for everyone. So happy, I

:36:52. > :36:55.don't know how many times I have been involved in games against

:36:56. > :36:59.France, come away with a win. So tonight means absolutely everything.

:37:00. > :37:03.In this latest chapter of an old feud, England bristled with belief.

:37:04. > :37:08.But in the early stages the plated not match the PR. A French player

:37:09. > :37:13.coming closest in a nervy first half. Mark Sampson had described his

:37:14. > :37:16.players as a team of streetfighters. Jill Scott, otherwise impressive,

:37:17. > :37:21.took that to heart. This would rule her out of the semi-final. France

:37:22. > :37:28.started to take control until Lucy queued up the ball and Jodie Taylor,

:37:29. > :37:31.one chance, 1-0, this is her fifth goal of the tournament. An injury

:37:32. > :37:35.only added to the tension and although France threatens, for the

:37:36. > :37:40.first time in a long time against their rivals, England held out. This

:37:41. > :37:44.was a historic win for the Lioness is. Mark Sampson's side will now

:37:45. > :37:49.face the Netherlands and the last four. And with the holders, Germany,

:37:50. > :37:55.knocked out, England are now the favourites for the title.

:37:56. > :38:00.Only an almighty South African defence can stop England's

:38:01. > :38:03.cricketers taking a series lead on the final day of the third Test.

:38:04. > :38:06.Some big hitting from England's batsmen meant they were able

:38:07. > :38:10.to declare, setting South Africa a world record chase of 492 to win.

:38:11. > :38:12.England's bowlers took four wickets before the close,

:38:13. > :38:14.with two in two balls for Ben Stokes.

:38:15. > :38:19.South Africa resume this morning still 375 runs behind.

:38:20. > :38:21.Last-innings pressure, 450 looks like 900 sometimes,

:38:22. > :38:26.especially on a wicket that's been playing like this.

:38:27. > :38:31.So, you know, we've done very, very well to get the four wickets.

:38:32. > :38:34.So hopefully we can get these two here at the moment,

:38:35. > :38:36.and then, you know, finish it off pretty

:38:37. > :38:41.Lewis Hamilton says he listened to his heart rather than his head

:38:42. > :38:45.when he sacrificed a three vital points at the Hungarian Grand Prix.

:38:46. > :38:47.The Briton honoured a promise made earlier in the race

:38:48. > :38:50.to let his teammate Valtteri Bottas overtake him to finish third.

:38:51. > :38:53.It allowed race winner Sebastian Vettel to extend his

:39:10. > :39:11.This try from Michael McIlorum then helped them to victory.

:39:33. > :39:35.into contention with a stunning breaststroke leg, and they were able

:39:39. > :39:42.It is a third medal of the week for Peaty, who believes he can go

:39:43. > :39:53.Everyone has got some areas to work on. Obviously I get a lot of

:39:54. > :39:58.criticism for my start, and it is a good job I am good at the other 90%

:39:59. > :40:03.of the swim but that 10% is now what I am going to pick up that amazing

:40:04. > :40:07.time that I need. I will be even more ruthless than I have been last

:40:08. > :40:09.year. I have picked up 0.3 from Rio enters the 100, and the progression

:40:10. > :40:11.is very good for me -- into the 100. A three-day festival of cycling

:40:12. > :40:15.on the streets of Surrey and London ended with an elite event billed

:40:16. > :40:18.the world's richest one-day race. Many of the world's

:40:19. > :40:20.best cyclists took part in the RideLondon-Surrey Classic,

:40:21. > :40:22.with Norway's Alexander Kristoff taking the prize money of ?90,000

:40:23. > :40:39.in a sprint finish on the Mall. They have been riding for 100 miles,

:40:40. > :40:43.and right at the very end there was a sprint. Quite interesting tactics,

:40:44. > :40:47.because they obviously want to stay together, they want to stay in the

:40:48. > :40:55.group, and they know that last stretch will be where it happens.

:40:56. > :41:08.Your legs would be burning by then. More on the Euros a little later on.

:41:09. > :41:11.They are all around us and they guide us through life, but

:41:12. > :41:17.day-to-day many of us are not really aware of them. The words on signs,

:41:18. > :41:23.buses, shops and documents, two in particular being regarded as very

:41:24. > :41:27.British. They are now the subject of a new documentary. Our correspondent

:41:28. > :41:29.has been looking at their enduring legacy and how they have had to move

:41:30. > :41:37.with the times. We are surrounded by words informing

:41:38. > :41:40.us, guiding us and tempting us. All of these are in a typeface, and

:41:41. > :41:45.choosing the right one is more important than you think. Choose the

:41:46. > :41:49.wrong one and, well, it is just wrong. Two types in particular are

:41:50. > :41:53.all around us. We are so used to them, we may not even notice them.

:41:54. > :41:59.But they are fundamentally British. They are Johnston and Gill Sans.

:42:00. > :42:04.Edward Johnston was commissioned to solve a problem caused by the growth

:42:05. > :42:08.of what became London Underground. In the early 1900s, stations were

:42:09. > :42:12.awash with advertising, and the station signs were inconsistent. It

:42:13. > :42:17.was all a bit chaotic. Frank Peck was brought in to bring order to the

:42:18. > :42:21.underground and he commissioned calligrapher Edward Johnston to

:42:22. > :42:26.create a radically new, clear type that would be used across the entire

:42:27. > :42:34.network. This author and presenter explains the impact it had. With

:42:35. > :42:37.Frank Peck's vision and Edward Johnson's style, transport in London

:42:38. > :42:44.now has its own brand. Signage stood out from the rest of the graphic

:42:45. > :42:49.noise, to form a clear and concise wayfinding system. Such was the

:42:50. > :42:53.success of the new Johnston to face, other transport companies want a

:42:54. > :42:57.similar clear look. But London Underground owned and guarded

:42:58. > :43:05.Johnston for its own use. To meet the demand, a commercial company

:43:06. > :43:13.commissioned a similar, clear typeface. This is the original,

:43:14. > :43:16.first, hand drawn Gill alphabet. It proved a huge commercial success and

:43:17. > :43:20.was adopted by railway companies, and when the war came, most

:43:21. > :43:24.companies had Gill Sans. So the typeface was used for everything

:43:25. > :43:29.from ration books to morale building posters. After the war, Gill Sans as

:43:30. > :43:33.the typeface of authority gradually fell out of fashion until a British

:43:34. > :43:37.designer working with the Beatles made it hip again. I didn't realise

:43:38. > :43:43.that it had fallen out of fashion, to be honest. I just thought it was

:43:44. > :43:48.a great, legible typeface. Gill Sans was now called. The UK's newest TV

:43:49. > :43:53.channel adopted it. Others followed, including the BBC. Meanwhile,

:43:54. > :43:58.Johnston was on the wane. London transport had started using other

:43:59. > :44:02.typefaces, as Johnston was limited. It needed an upgrade, which is

:44:03. > :44:06.exactly what happened. 100 years after these typefaces were first

:44:07. > :44:12.created, they are still in use, updated and adapted. They remain

:44:13. > :44:18.quintessentially British typefaces, that are set to keep evolving and be

:44:19. > :44:22.part of the look of Britain for generations to come.

:44:23. > :44:28.The thing about that story is, once you start thinking about it,

:44:29. > :44:32.everything you look at, you are thinking why does it look like that?

:44:33. > :44:39.I am quite particular about which font I writing. Honestly, it is... I

:44:40. > :44:57.am in arial girl. Not the one that it is at the

:44:58. > :45:01.moment. We're stuck in a bit of a rut at the moment. Showers are

:45:02. > :45:05.fairly hit and miss and for some of us there will be fewer showers than

:45:06. > :45:13.we've seen. For example, in the south-east. Low pressure is driving

:45:14. > :45:17.our weather. You can tell from the isobars that it won't be

:45:18. > :45:23.particularly windy today. We have a front moving across Scotland and

:45:24. > :45:28.it's producing rain. We have showers coming in from behind. There will be

:45:29. > :45:33.bright spells. For Northern Ireland and northern England we have showers

:45:34. > :45:37.around this morning. There will be bright spells, sunshine, showers

:45:38. > :45:46.across Wales. Some of those could be heavy in the north. Kent and down to

:45:47. > :45:50.a lot of dry weather around. Fewer showers as we push through to the

:45:51. > :45:54.south-west. Through the day that's the scenario. It is central in

:45:55. > :45:59.northern areas that are prone to seeing more showers. Some of those

:46:00. > :46:05.slow-moving, heavy and thundery with hail. And fewer showers as we push

:46:06. > :46:09.in towards the south-east. We have highs of 23 Celsius between about 13

:46:10. > :46:13.and 19 elsewhere. Through this evening and overnight we lose most

:46:14. > :46:18.of those showers. Housks we'll keep some in the west. Some of them --

:46:19. > :46:23.however, we'll keep them in the west. Some of them will form some

:46:24. > :46:27.lines. A lot of dry weather. Temperatures slipping down to

:46:28. > :46:32.between 11 and 14 Celsius. So not particularly cold but if you are

:46:33. > :46:36.camping you may want to stick another few layers in your bag. The

:46:37. > :46:41.showers will develop as we go through the course of the day and

:46:42. > :46:46.some of those will be heavy, slow moving, heavy and thundery.

:46:47. > :46:50.Temperatures could get up to 24 Celsius in London. If you're in the

:46:51. > :46:54.south-east corner with fewer showers that will be feel plezant. We have

:46:55. > :47:00.our next area -- pleasant. We have our next area of low pressure

:47:01. > :47:05.coming. That will produce rain. It will turn that bit windier. On

:47:06. > :47:11.Wednesday, we start off largely on a dry note. The rain will push in

:47:12. > :47:14.through the Channel Islands, across Wales, and in through northern

:47:15. > :47:18.England and into Northern Ireland. This picture finishes at 4 o'clock

:47:19. > :47:23.in the afternoon. So this is the kind of timing we're looking at. It

:47:24. > :47:28.will be accompanied by gusty winds. In summary for this week, we do have

:47:29. > :47:34.sunshine and showers for the first couple of days, then it turns wetter

:47:35. > :47:39.and windier as we head through the middle part of the week. At least

:47:40. > :47:47.something positive on the horizon. Thank you very much. See you later

:47:48. > :47:53.on. 21,000 new staff to cover NHS mental health services in England by

:47:54. > :47:59.the year 2021. That's the promise from the Health Secretary. With some

:48:00. > :48:03.hospitals reportedly struggling to fill nursing posts, there are

:48:04. > :48:08.questions over whether this is realistic. Thank you very much for

:48:09. > :48:14.your time this morning, Janet. When you hear that ambition to treat an

:48:15. > :48:19.extra one million people by 2021, from Jeremy Hunt, what do you think?

:48:20. > :48:23.The first thing is it's fantastic that we're looking at such an

:48:24. > :48:27.important subject such as mental health, which has been starved of

:48:28. > :48:33.attention for quite some time. So it is great we have such good ambition.

:48:34. > :48:37.Our worry is that it's not very long away, 2021, and those nurses, those

:48:38. > :48:44.skilled nurses will need to be in training now. And what we need is

:48:45. > :48:47.lots of comeming in to train as mental health nurses this September

:48:48. > :48:51.when the programme is open. We need to match all the policies. The

:48:52. > :48:55.policy of taking away the funding for training our student nurses

:48:56. > :48:59.means quite a lot of people who would make fantastic mental health

:49:00. > :49:02.nurses - those who are more mature with life experience - have not

:49:03. > :49:06.applied this year because they don't want to take out a student loan. We

:49:07. > :49:10.need to make sure we get our policies lined up. We need to scrap

:49:11. > :49:14.that idea and enable people to come and train in September. We know

:49:15. > :49:18.there are people who would want to do that. There are alternatives that

:49:19. > :49:22.we're hearing but they will take much longer but they will not be

:49:23. > :49:30.ready in time for this ambitious project. Talk us through, as I

:49:31. > :49:34.understand it, this plan, this idea would see 2,000 additional nurses,

:49:35. > :49:38.consltants and therapists' posts created. You talked about the

:49:39. > :49:43.September deadline - what's the scale of the shortfall as it stands,

:49:44. > :49:48.looking at at what we have compared with what Jeremy Hunt is trying to

:49:49. > :49:52.create? We've got a catch-up to do. Nobody is hiding that. Even in the

:49:53. > :49:56.report it does talk about, there's about a 10% vacancy. So we need one

:49:57. > :50:00.in 10 posts aren't filled already in mental health. We need to fill those

:50:01. > :50:04.as well as bring in those additional people. So it is really quite

:50:05. > :50:09.important we get on with this now and use the methods we already have.

:50:10. > :50:12.There are universities with places already and we can easily increase

:50:13. > :50:16.those numbers if the funding is put in to nurse education. At the same

:50:17. > :50:20.time it's looking at the whole picture. This is great for mental

:50:21. > :50:23.health but also we've got to look at prevention and at the same time as

:50:24. > :50:27.putting funding in for treatment of mental health, we have cuts being

:50:28. > :50:30.made in local authorities, in district nursing, but particularly

:50:31. > :50:35.for mental health, in health visiting, getting that good start in

:50:36. > :50:39.life with families, school nursing who are so important to people at a

:50:40. > :50:44.very vulnerable age. Whilst we're cutting those and putting money into

:50:45. > :50:49.mental health, we need to look at health and social health in its

:50:50. > :50:51.totality and keep us all well with our mental, physical health and

:50:52. > :50:57.looking after the whole population. I'm trying to get as clear a picture

:50:58. > :51:02.as I can of the funding issue and you keep relating it to that. So

:51:03. > :51:07.crucial. You're talking about nurse training. The situation you seem to

:51:08. > :51:13.be, the picture you seem to be painting is without more money, as

:51:14. > :51:18.in new money, that it's not possible to create these posts that they're

:51:19. > :51:22.talking about. The nursing posts without new money into nurse

:51:23. > :51:26.training. We're talking about this bogue a quick solution. We're

:51:27. > :51:30.talking about three and four years before we've got those figures. What

:51:31. > :51:36.is new is from this September it will be the very first time that the

:51:37. > :51:39.education of nurses has not been funded by the Government. So for the

:51:40. > :51:42.first time nurses going into training will need to pay for their

:51:43. > :51:48.own education by taking out a student loan. This is a new thing

:51:49. > :51:52.and we have seen already that the applications for mental health

:51:53. > :51:55.training has gone down. Can I ask one last question? Apologies for

:51:56. > :51:59.interrupting. We're short for time. If you had a message for Jeremy

:52:00. > :52:03.Hunt, what would it be in relation to his targets? The first thing is

:52:04. > :52:08.well done, it's a great ambition. The second one is get that funding

:52:09. > :52:12.back into nurse education. Look at all the policies in totality,

:52:13. > :52:16.including those about keeping people mentally well in the first place and

:52:17. > :52:20.please lift that cap on nurses' pay which are creating such difficulty

:52:21. > :52:25.in keeping people in nursing. Thank you very much for your time this

:52:26. > :52:30.morning. As we say, we will be peeking to Jeremy Hunt. That's after

:52:31. > :52:34.7 o'clock this morning. We're talking about lenders and the way

:52:35. > :52:38.they decide who to offer credit to. Could bow a pay day loan or an

:52:39. > :52:42.overdraft and there are new rules perhaps being brought in to protect

:52:43. > :52:46.borrowers. This is what Sean is log at. You can often get high interest

:52:47. > :52:51.rates and costs that you don't realise will hit you? You may not

:52:52. > :52:55.have sat down with anybody and been told what you could be charged. It

:52:56. > :53:01.could get a few more charges today. It's an issue we've talked about a

:53:02. > :53:05.lot. The costs that can mount up quickly, whether you borrow money

:53:06. > :53:09.from a pay day loan company. Or an unarranged overdraft. The watchdog

:53:10. > :53:12.for all these products, the Financial Conduct Authority, has

:53:13. > :53:17.been looking into all of this and we'll hear what they're going to say

:53:18. > :53:20.later on. They're worried about how reliable credit checks are,

:53:21. > :53:27.particularly for those in financial difficulty. Let's talk about this

:53:28. > :53:31.now with Helal Miah. We have seen changes in this market maybe for pay

:53:32. > :53:34.day lending, the interest rates were capped for what people could charge.

:53:35. > :53:39.Has that had an epifect on the market do you know? In terms of the

:53:40. > :53:44.number of loans being taken out for pay day loans t did significantly

:53:45. > :53:47.drop when the caps were introduced at the beginning of 2015. I think

:53:48. > :53:52.the question is where those borrowers are going to? Are they

:53:53. > :53:56.going elsewhere in terms of illegal loan sharks and the issue there is

:53:57. > :54:00.they could end up getting into further trouble. That's clearly one

:54:01. > :54:05.of the big worries for the regulator - where are people who are in a bad

:54:06. > :54:10.financial situation who need to borrow money? Where are they going?

:54:11. > :54:16.What are the things the regulator could do to try and make the market

:54:17. > :54:22.a bit bigger for them? It's a balancing act. In terms of what they

:54:23. > :54:28.can, they could require credit agencies to actually have better

:54:29. > :54:34.data on their customers. Effectively trying to, effectively trying to

:54:35. > :54:37.reduce the loans going out to certain individuals who may not

:54:38. > :54:42.necessarily have the best credit. More stringent credit requirements.

:54:43. > :54:45.Because credit checks and the credit score people have seems more and

:54:46. > :54:50.more important with a lot of things you do. What kind of things could

:54:51. > :54:55.Sayers to those credit rating agency -- what sort of things could those

:54:56. > :54:59.credit rating agencies say that you need to make sure that person can

:55:00. > :55:04.afford the money they're borrowing? They need to look at incomes and

:55:05. > :55:08.afford blt in far more detail. That certainly is going to be I think,

:55:09. > :55:13.certainly lenders have been lending a little too easily in recent times.

:55:14. > :55:18.It's really a question of restriction, restricting the amount

:55:19. > :55:23.of credit available out there for people who can't fles searl afford

:55:24. > :55:26.it. The head of the financial conducts authority has written in --

:55:27. > :55:30.the Financial Conduct Authority has written in The Times and talked

:55:31. > :55:35.about consumer debt rising. How serious is this? It seems to be a

:55:36. > :55:39.big issue at the moment. The Bnk of England raised their concerns. They

:55:40. > :55:43.estimated the amount of -- Bank of England raised their concerns. They

:55:44. > :55:49.estimated the amount is going up about 10% in the last year or so.

:55:50. > :55:53.With the UK economy moderating slowly, questions have to be raised

:55:54. > :55:58.whether consumers can actually afford to pay this? Are banks making

:55:59. > :56:03.lots of money out of these arranged overdrafts? They are. Customers are

:56:04. > :56:07.paying a fixed fee. If they go overdrawn by 10 pounds, they could

:56:08. > :56:11.be paying far more than that. In terms of a persentage of what

:56:12. > :56:17.they're getting overdrawn by, it's a huge amount. For the banking

:56:18. > :56:20.industry, a lot of the money is made from charging overdraft fees to

:56:21. > :56:26.people who aren't necessarily managing their account too well.

:56:27. > :56:29.Because the rest of us have mostly free currents accounts and that's

:56:30. > :56:33.where that come -- current accounts and that's where that comes from.

:56:34. > :56:36.We'll get the very latest from the Financial Conduct Authority about

:56:37. > :56:39.what they'll do in about 10, 15 minutes. Thank you very much. Time

:56:40. > :00:04.to tomorrow as well. That's your

:00:05. > :00:11.forecast. I'll be back in half an hour.

:01:51. > :01:50.minutes. First, our main story: Thousands

:01:51. > :01:54.of extra mental health workers are to be recruited

:01:55. > :01:56.by the NHS in England. The Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt,

:01:57. > :02:00.said the aim is to treat an extra The Royal College of Nursing has

:02:01. > :02:05.questioned how so many staff can be hired and trained in such

:02:06. > :02:07.a short space of time. Here is more from our health

:02:08. > :02:11.correspondent Dominic Hughes. Ministers in England have already

:02:12. > :02:14.acknowledged the treatment offered to patients struggling with mental

:02:15. > :02:16.health problems suffers in comparison to those

:02:17. > :02:20.with physical ailments. An extra ?1 billion in funding

:02:21. > :02:22.for mental health services Now, we know that some of that cash

:02:23. > :02:30.will be spent on recruiting thousands of extra nurses, doctors,

:02:31. > :02:33.psychologists and other clinicians. The plan includes recruiting 2,000

:02:34. > :02:36.staff to work in child and adolescent mental health

:02:37. > :02:38.services, nearly 3,000 extra therapists working with adults,

:02:39. > :02:42.and an extra 4,800 staff, mostly nurses, working

:02:43. > :02:46.in crisis care. Because mental health services have

:02:47. > :02:49.been underfunded for such a long time, this initiative,

:02:50. > :03:01.in and of itself, will not help us to achieve the parity of esteem

:03:02. > :03:05.that so many of us want. But what it will do is set

:03:06. > :03:08.the foundations to be able to look forward to a future where mental

:03:09. > :03:12.health is treated on an equal But simply creating posts does not

:03:13. > :03:16.always mean you can always find These jobs are among the most

:03:17. > :03:21.challenging in the health service. Data published last week showed

:03:22. > :03:23.that, even before this latest recruitment drive, many thousands

:03:24. > :03:26.of nursing posts across the wider And, in ten minutes' time,

:03:27. > :03:33.we will be speaking to the Health Secretary,

:03:34. > :03:35.Jeremy Hunt. Prince Charles will attend

:03:36. > :03:38.the second day of commemorations to mark the 100th anniversary

:03:39. > :03:41.of the start of the Battle of 500,000 Allied and German

:03:42. > :03:44.soldiers were killed, wounded or went missing in action

:03:45. > :03:47.during the three months of fighting In Flanders Fields, the poppies blow

:03:48. > :03:58.between the crosses... In Ypres's main square last night,

:03:59. > :04:02.Dame Helen Mirren spoke the words of the war poet John McCrae,

:04:03. > :04:04.who recounted the horror The larks, still

:04:05. > :04:07.bravely singing, fly. Winston Churchill wanted to keep

:04:08. > :04:19.the ruins of Ypres preserved for posterity, so we

:04:20. > :04:21.would not forget. But instead, it was agreed

:04:22. > :04:26.the city would be rebuilt, The story of men now gone was retold

:04:27. > :04:33.in a place that has kept its promise and continues to

:04:34. > :04:35.remember their passing. Officially known as the Third Battle

:04:36. > :04:38.of Ypres, Passchendaele lasted until November 1917,

:04:39. > :04:41.fought in the west Flanders region It became infamous not only

:04:42. > :04:49.for the number of deaths, Constant shelling and the heaviest

:04:50. > :04:53.rain for 30 years created a muddy wasteland, that became so deep,

:04:54. > :04:59.men and horses drowned in it. The Last Post has been played

:05:00. > :05:21.in Ypres through the decades. The Menin Gate has over 54,000 names

:05:22. > :05:27.carved into its stone, remembering those who

:05:28. > :05:32.have no known grave. It marks where troops marched

:05:33. > :05:35.when heading to the battlefields. The Dude and Duchess of Cambridge

:05:36. > :05:38.attended a ceremony of remembrance there, together with

:05:39. > :05:39.the Prime Minister. With the sounding of this bugle

:05:40. > :05:43.call, the 250,000 British and Commonwealth soldiers

:05:44. > :05:50.who were killed on the Ypres Salient during the First World

:05:51. > :05:54.War are remembered. The defence of the city at such

:05:55. > :05:57.great cost meant that it Today's commemorations will continue

:05:58. > :06:08.with a special service at Tyne Cot Cemetery,

:06:09. > :06:13.where thousands are buried. Such was the slaughter, the majority

:06:14. > :06:16.of the graves remain unmarked. Our correspondent Robert Hall

:06:17. > :06:32.is at Tyne Cot for us this morning. Just watching that film through and

:06:33. > :06:36.seeing that archive footage of that extraordinary loss of life and those

:06:37. > :06:41.desperate conditions, I am looking behind you and you seem to have blue

:06:42. > :06:46.skies, and in that extraordinary backdrop that you are in this

:06:47. > :06:50.morning. Yes, it is very, very difficult to begin to imagine the

:06:51. > :06:57.horrors that faced the soldiers during those 3.5 months of fighting,

:06:58. > :07:01.fighting, remember, which started extremely positively. The advance

:07:02. > :07:04.went really quite well in decent weather for a bit, and then it

:07:05. > :07:08.started to rain, and with some breaks on the weather it rained and

:07:09. > :07:12.rained and range. And because the drainage had been smashed up in the

:07:13. > :07:19.artillery fire, the water had nowhere to go. It settled into the

:07:20. > :07:24.Flanders clay, and turned no man's land into a wasteland of dreadful,

:07:25. > :07:36.stagnant water. Shell holes and all the horrors of that sort of warfare.

:07:37. > :07:40.Tyne Cot is one of the world's largest war cemeteries. Let me show

:07:41. > :07:43.you the landscape that the men had to advance over. We have a shot

:07:44. > :07:47.looking out towards Ypres and you can see the terrain. It doesn't look

:07:48. > :07:52.too challenging, because it is really a series of shallow valleys

:07:53. > :07:56.and shallow hills. At the German forces were on most of that higher

:07:57. > :08:00.ground, which meant an attack uphill. They could look down on the

:08:01. > :08:03.attackers from Britain and the Commonwealth as they struggled

:08:04. > :08:10.through the mud, and that explains the slaughter. It was very, very

:08:11. > :08:13.slow going, and morale sapping. I think a lot of the soldiers that

:08:14. > :08:20.talked about what happened here after the event referred to the

:08:21. > :08:25.horrors of Passchendaele, I hell on earth. And eventually, when troops

:08:26. > :08:30.did reach Passchendaele itself, they could say that the attack had been a

:08:31. > :08:34.success, but at a terrible cost. We will be hearing a lot more of that

:08:35. > :08:39.this morning, as this ceremony, which is due to start a little later

:08:40. > :08:41.on, around midday hour time, gets under way. But for now, from Tyne

:08:42. > :08:43.Cot, back to you. The Chancellor, Philip Hammond,

:08:44. > :08:46.appears to have stepped back from a suggestion that the UK

:08:47. > :08:49.could cut taxes and regulation in a bid to undercut EU

:08:50. > :08:51.countries after Brexit. In an interview with the French

:08:52. > :08:54.newspaper Le Monde, he says the Government has no plans to make

:08:55. > :08:58.big changes to tax policy in order His remarks are in sharp contrast

:08:59. > :09:02.with what he said earlier The United States says

:09:03. > :09:05.President Putin's decision to order 755 of its diplomatic staff to leave

:09:06. > :09:08.Russia is unjustified. They have been told

:10:40. > :10:43.health services in England by 2021 - that is the promise

:10:44. > :10:45.from the Health Secretary, But, with some hospitals struggling

:10:46. > :10:49.to fill already vacant positions, there are concerns

:10:50. > :10:51.the plans are unrealistic. Earlier on Breakfast, the chief

:10:52. > :10:54.executive of the Royal College of Nursing had this

:10:55. > :11:08.message for Jeremy Hunt. Get that funding

:11:09. > :11:09.back into nurse education. Look at all the policies

:11:10. > :11:11.in totality, including those about keeping people

:11:12. > :11:14.mentally well in the first place and please lift that

:11:15. > :11:16.cap on nurses' pay which are creating such difficulty

:11:17. > :11:19.in keeping people in nursing. The Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt,

:11:20. > :11:26.joins us now from Westminster. Did you hear that soundbite clearly?

:11:27. > :11:30.If you did, would you mind responding? Sure. I mean, first of

:11:31. > :11:35.all, I completely agree that we need to invest more in nurse education.

:11:36. > :11:39.That is really what we are doing. This is part of a package which

:11:40. > :11:42.means we will be spending ?1 billion more every year in real terms on

:11:43. > :11:46.mental health provision, because we want to treat around 1 million more

:11:47. > :11:56.people every year. We are recognised in this country as having some of

:11:57. > :12:00.the best mental health provision anywhere in the world. Last week the

:12:01. > :12:02.New York Times said it was the world's most ambitious effort to

:12:03. > :12:06.tackle depression and anxiety. What we can only do that if we invest in

:12:07. > :12:10.the people who can deliver the care that is going to help people in

:12:11. > :12:14.these very debilitating conditions. So I think Janet Davies is right on

:12:15. > :12:17.that. On the 1% cap, I hear what she says. I have had very constructive

:12:18. > :12:20.discussions with her. I recognise that things are very tough on the

:12:21. > :12:24.frontline. Nurses are working very hard, and we have an independent

:12:25. > :12:27.process, a pay review body which is completely independent of the

:12:28. > :12:30.government, they are going to look at all of this and we will listen

:12:31. > :12:37.very carefully to what they say before we make a final decision. You

:12:38. > :12:40.are not funding training. This September, this point was made by

:12:41. > :12:44.the chief executive of the Royal College of nursing. You are not

:12:45. > :12:48.funding training, so what we were hearing is that training needs to

:12:49. > :12:51.begin this September to fill the numbers for this mental health

:12:52. > :12:56.provision in Europe. Without that funding, you are not going to see

:12:57. > :13:01.the numbers. You're still going to be short. You are not going to make

:13:02. > :13:06.this target for 2021. Well, it is an ambitious target, but I think the

:13:07. > :13:09.mistake that Health Secretary after Health Secretary from different

:13:10. > :13:13.parties in different governments have made is that they have thought

:13:14. > :13:16.that if you want to solve a problem you put the money on. And money is

:13:17. > :13:20.of course very important. But actually, you have to have the

:13:21. > :13:25.people as well. So we are investing more in training up people. We have

:13:26. > :13:30.32,000 more people providing mental healthcare than we did in 2010. So

:13:31. > :13:33.there has been a big expansion already. But today we are announcing

:13:34. > :13:38.another 21,000 post, which will mean a lot more money going into

:13:39. > :13:42.training. And we have worked very closely with the Royal colleges, the

:13:43. > :13:47.Royal College of nursing, the Royal College of Psychiatrists, charities

:13:48. > :13:50.like Mind, to say exactly how many people do we need in different

:13:51. > :13:54.areas? To give you an example, we know we want to do a lot better for

:13:55. > :13:59.children and young people, and today's announcement means an extra

:14:00. > :14:03.2000 post in children and young people's mental health provision. We

:14:04. > :14:09.know we need to do a lot better in crisis care, if you like, the A of

:14:10. > :14:15.mental health provision, although A units do a lot of mental health

:14:16. > :14:19.work as well. We will have extra units in crisis care. We have 8000

:14:20. > :14:24.nurses in mental health training at the moment, and obviously they will

:14:25. > :14:27.help boost the numbers. But Janet Davies is absolutely right. This has

:14:28. > :14:34.to be about getting those training numbers up. And we are very

:14:35. > :14:42.committed to doing that. Listening to those numbers, you want to have

:14:43. > :14:47.21,000... Overall. 8000 in training. You have provision for 6600,

:14:48. > :14:55.including those for children and mental healthcare, children's mental

:14:56. > :15:00.healthcare, so that leaves you around 7000 short. Will you be able

:15:01. > :15:04.to fill 7000 nurses if you are not funding student nurses and there is

:15:05. > :15:11.a pay cut, why would anyone trained to be a nurse? 21,000 is overall,

:15:12. > :15:19.not just nurses, psychiatrists, that is a therapist who help people with

:15:20. > :15:23.depression and anxiety, and people elsewhere in the mental health

:15:24. > :15:27.provision. Nurses are a very important part of it. We are

:15:28. > :15:32.confident we can get these numbers. There are people who are trained as

:15:33. > :15:38.nurses and psychiatrists who are not working in the NHS. We have a

:15:39. > :15:42.programme to attract them back into the NHS. We want to say to them we

:15:43. > :15:46.have the biggest expansion in mental health provision in Europe going on

:15:47. > :15:50.at the moment. We are proud of what we are doing. We want to do a lot

:15:51. > :15:56.more. We have too many people in this country where young life is

:15:57. > :15:59.blighted because we don't get them the mental healthcare they need

:16:00. > :16:02.quickly enough and there are too many old people living in isolation

:16:03. > :16:08.and suffering from depression they think it automatic and we want to

:16:09. > :16:12.sort it out. It is important and we wouldn't deny that. When it is so

:16:13. > :16:17.important I wonder how you will recruit nurses with a 1% pay cap and

:16:18. > :16:22.it seems all you will do is paced advertisements for a job which many

:16:23. > :16:27.think is underpaid, low paid, annual pay rises going to be less than

:16:28. > :16:33.inflation, so you are earning less money each year which is frankly

:16:34. > :16:39.really hard. It is a very tough job and I was a frontline nurses have

:16:40. > :16:44.never worked harder. -- and I would say. We are expanding the workforce.

:16:45. > :16:49.There are 6000 more nurses on the frontline that we had in 2010. We

:16:50. > :16:52.want to expand it further. One of the reasons we have been able to

:16:53. > :16:59.expand the workforce to date is because with a limited budget in a

:17:00. > :17:02.difficult economic situation we have shown pay discipline. We have to

:17:03. > :17:08.balance it against the need for recruitment. The need to keep people

:17:09. > :17:11.in nursing. That is why we have this independent process with the Pay

:17:12. > :17:16.Review Body. We will listen carefully to what they say before we

:17:17. > :17:20.make a final decision. Where will you get the nurses? I am looking at

:17:21. > :17:25.the Guardian this morning. As we have seen over the last week, there

:17:26. > :17:29.appears to be tension in the Cabinet over the direction that Brexit and

:17:30. > :17:34.the negotiations are taking. Now it seems like there is a clash on free

:17:35. > :17:40.movement. If Brexit means we will limit free movement and reduce

:17:41. > :17:49.immigration, who is going to fill these post-s in the NHS? The Cabinet

:17:50. > :17:54.is united. We are going to deliver Brexit, because that is what Britain

:17:55. > :17:59.voted for. We will leave the EU in March, 2019. And that means leaving

:18:00. > :18:04.with a deal giving us control of laws, borders and money, which is

:18:05. > :18:09.what people voted for. Secondly, we are clear that we want Brexit to

:18:10. > :18:17.make Britain more global and not more isolationist. That means a

:18:18. > :18:22.business friendly Brexit. It means hospitals after Brexit will be able

:18:23. > :18:27.to recruit people from overseas in the EU as they do now. And we want

:18:28. > :18:35.to avoid a cliff edge as we move to a new immigration policy. That will

:18:36. > :18:38.take a period of time to do that. We recognise for hospitals recruiting

:18:39. > :18:44.from the EU is a very important part of what they do. We want to have a

:18:45. > :18:48.gradual transition to a new immigration policy that is voted on

:18:49. > :18:53.and decided on by British people through parliament, which is what we

:18:54. > :18:59.can't do at the moment in the EU. It needs to be an implementation

:19:00. > :19:02.process, that there is been a period of time in which we move to that

:19:03. > :19:08.approach. There will not be as strategy once we leave the EU, no

:19:09. > :19:12.strategy lined up? There is a clear strategy. The strategy is a

:19:13. > :19:18.transition period and work towards a solution. I am asking, this is the

:19:19. > :19:22.policy, this is the strategy, once we leave the EU? That's what you're

:19:23. > :19:28.getting on mental health. We have looked very carefully at the number

:19:29. > :19:34.of psychiatrists, nurses, therapist that we need in mental health. We

:19:35. > :19:38.want an extra 20 1000. We will do that across the NHS for cancer care,

:19:39. > :19:43.primary care, every sector of the NHS and every sector of the economy.

:19:44. > :19:47.Then we can work out what we need, how many people we can get by

:19:48. > :19:53.training people at home, because there is huge demand for people in

:19:54. > :19:57.the UK to go to the NHS. It is one of the most popular career routes

:19:58. > :20:02.people can go into because we have a fantastic NHS. We will still need

:20:03. > :20:05.people from overseas. We will be very strategic about that. And we

:20:06. > :20:12.will make sure hospitals can recruit from the EU and from outside the EU.

:20:13. > :20:17.The doctors and nurses we need. We have around 20% of our doctors were

:20:18. > :20:20.born overseas. They do a fantastic job. Jeremy Hunt, thank you for your

:20:21. > :20:22.time this morning. Here's Carol with a look

:20:23. > :20:32.at this morning's weather. Did you have a nice weekend, Carol?

:20:33. > :20:41.Lovely, thank you. Did you do anything special? I had really good

:20:42. > :20:48.fun. What happened, Carol? I was on stage, and I had a wee song with

:20:49. > :20:52.Rick Astley, which was really nice. You and Rick Astley on stage,

:20:53. > :20:59.singing live at a music festival? Yes. I like the sound of that. Do we

:21:00. > :21:04.have pictures? No, no pictures. Thank you. Moving on with the

:21:05. > :21:07.weather. This morning is quite chilly to start. Temperatures in

:21:08. > :21:13.single figures across parts of the UK. For many of us for the next

:21:14. > :21:16.couple of days we have sunny spells and showers, for some fewer than

:21:17. > :21:21.over the weekend. Low pressure is driving the weather. You can see

:21:22. > :21:26.from the isobars they are quite open. It is going to be breezy. At

:21:27. > :21:29.the moment we have rain moving north-east was across northern

:21:30. > :21:35.England and Scotland. It will continue to fragment as it does so.

:21:36. > :21:40.It will turn more showery. He it is at 8am moving northwards. Some

:21:41. > :21:44.bright spells ahead of it. For Northern Ireland and England,

:21:45. > :21:50.showers already. Further showers develop. And the same in Wales.

:21:51. > :21:54.Heavy showers in north Wales. Into the Midlands, East Anglia, London

:21:55. > :21:59.and into southern counties, yes, there are showers here and there.

:22:00. > :22:02.For most of us it is dry and that extends into the south-west and

:22:03. > :22:07.Channel Islands. Isolated showers at this stage. Through the day the

:22:08. > :22:11.showers will develop further in Wales, the Midlands, northern

:22:12. > :22:15.England, Northern Ireland and especially Scotland. Some of those

:22:16. > :22:20.will be heavy and thundery with some hail. Further south, there will be

:22:21. > :22:24.fewer showers. If you catch one, it won't be as intense as it was

:22:25. > :22:29.yesterday. We had downpours in Kent yesterday. Through the evening and

:22:30. > :22:34.overnight, a lot of dry weather and around. Most of the showers fading.

:22:35. > :22:38.We will see them line up in the west at the end of the night.

:22:39. > :22:41.Temperature-wise, 11- 14 is in very cool but if you are camping take

:22:42. > :22:45.extra layers because you will notice it. Tomorrow we start off on a dry

:22:46. > :22:50.note. It isn't long before the showers develop. Some of those will

:22:51. > :22:55.be heavy, slow-moving, sundry with hail. In between, there will be some

:22:56. > :23:01.sunshine and tomorrow is the first of August. Sunshine is strong and it

:23:02. > :23:04.will be warm, 24, for example, in the south-east. Tuesday into

:23:05. > :23:08.Wednesday, low pressure is drifting in with the attendant weather

:23:09. > :23:12.fronts, it is bringing rain and the squeezed isobars tell us that the

:23:13. > :23:17.wind is going to strengthen. We start off on a dry and bright note

:23:18. > :23:20.for most of the UK. It is not long before the rain comes in across the

:23:21. > :23:26.Isles of Scilly, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Wight, into

:23:27. > :23:30.south-west England, into Wales, northern England and eventually into

:23:31. > :23:35.south-west Scotland, and with the combination of wind and rain you

:23:36. > :23:40.will feel quite cool if you are stuck under it. For the week,

:23:41. > :23:44.sunshine and showers, Wednesday it would turn rather wet and windy,

:23:45. > :23:48.then on Thursday the rain breaks down and turns more showery. Things

:23:49. > :23:51.quieten down it looks like at the moment for the weekend. Thank you

:23:52. > :24:01.very much. See you later on. When you were young, did you used to

:24:02. > :24:07.go out... All those years ago? I wasn't going to say that. You would

:24:08. > :24:10.rush home from school, in the summer holidays, you would run out and you

:24:11. > :24:14.would leave the house in the morning, come back in for lunch and

:24:15. > :24:19.you would be out for the rest of the day? The tradition that has

:24:20. > :24:20.virtually disappeared for a number of reasons, concerns about safety

:24:21. > :24:27.and traffic issues. As Breakfast's Graham Satchell

:24:28. > :24:29.has been finding out there is a movement to get children

:24:30. > :24:37.back out playing in the street. We are in north London. The streets

:24:38. > :24:44.closed, it is time to play. I am rolling! For many of these children

:24:45. > :24:50.it is the first time they have ever played out on the street.

:24:51. > :24:55.Five-year-old Noah is playing noughts and crosses with his dad and

:24:56. > :25:02.brother, and loving it! I think it is quite amazing, and I like that we

:25:03. > :25:12.are having a party! Yeah, man. Party, let's go, party! Organised

:25:13. > :25:16.street play sessions like this started about five years ago in

:25:17. > :25:20.Bristol. Groups of residents from across the country are applying to

:25:21. > :25:25.local authorities to close roads and let their children play. I have to

:25:26. > :25:30.make kids and they spend quite a bit of time inside the house and it is

:25:31. > :25:34.old school, how I used to play back in the day -- two kids. We used to

:25:35. > :25:37.go outside and play on the straights, so bringing it back.

:25:38. > :25:43.Reliving your childhood. Through my children -- streets. A series of

:25:44. > :25:47.studies published today show these play projects have increased

:25:48. > :25:50.children's physical activity, improved mental health and social

:25:51. > :25:56.skills. The advantages are even more widespread. It is not just about the

:25:57. > :26:00.children playing out. It is about the neighbours are starting to know

:26:01. > :26:04.each other. There is a nice community here. Having the chance to

:26:05. > :26:08.get out and see Java and relax is nice and it reminds us of what it

:26:09. > :26:11.was like when we were kids. There are now more than five hundred St in

:26:12. > :26:17.45 locations doing play sessions like this but today's study shows

:26:18. > :26:20.that there would be more if local authority procedures were

:26:21. > :26:24.streamlined and cost barriers removed. -- 500 streets. It needs to

:26:25. > :26:28.be made as easy as possible, so there is not lots of bureaucracy and

:26:29. > :26:31.people can simply reclaim the street for a couple of hours monthly with

:26:32. > :26:36.minimal paperwork. I think that would be a much bigger uptake.

:26:37. > :26:43.Meanwhile, Noah has been trying to draw... A stink-bug, half stink-bug,

:26:44. > :26:49.half man. Perfect. Carry on, young man.

:26:50. > :26:53.See, the youngsters look like they are having such good time.

:26:54. > :26:56.Alice Ferguson is the from the Playing Out movement and joins

:26:57. > :27:05.Everyone can see that. It looks lovely. What about the bureaucracy?

:27:06. > :27:08.Immediately, it think it would be lovely, let's close the street,

:27:09. > :27:13.let's do it on Saturday. And then you call the council and what

:27:14. > :27:19.happens? It depends on your council. And Bristol City Council led the way

:27:20. > :27:25.a few years ago, putting in a policy that left residents on most quiet

:27:26. > :27:29.residential streets apply to close once a week -- lets. And is now

:27:30. > :27:35.quite a few other councils have followed suit. So you are from

:27:36. > :27:39.Bristol, to you do it in advance? How much warning do you have to

:27:40. > :27:44.give? Six weeks. There is a process. You need to talk to your neighbours

:27:45. > :27:51.to make sure people are OK about it. That there are no major concerns and

:27:52. > :27:56.then, pretty much... So, no cars can leave all come in at all? Cars can

:27:57. > :28:08.come into the street. The idea is you get two neighbours on each end

:28:09. > :28:13.of the street wearing high-vis, and their job is to walk cars in, so it

:28:14. > :28:17.is no intermediates for the people living on the street. Any cars that

:28:18. > :28:22.want to drive through and use it as a rat run have to go a different

:28:23. > :28:26.way. The thing is, I don't think anyone could object to it. If it is

:28:27. > :28:31.working, if you are not being inconvenienced. It works on quiet

:28:32. > :28:36.residential street. Not everyone lives on a quiet residential street.

:28:37. > :28:41.Main roads, you know. This is part of the reason we have a decline in

:28:42. > :28:45.people playing is safety concerns. What should this be used as, in

:28:46. > :28:49.terms of kickstarting children getting outside again, and parents

:28:50. > :28:53.feeling comfortable? Yes, obviously you have to use common sense,

:28:54. > :29:03.whether it is a street that is suitable for it or not. Cul-de-sacs

:29:04. > :29:07.are amazing. What we have seen are that they use the model for one or

:29:08. > :29:11.two years and it builds up a culture where it is normal for children to

:29:12. > :29:16.be playing out on the street. I was out on a street in Bristol where

:29:17. > :29:19.they have done this for a couple of years. The road was not closed to

:29:20. > :29:23.cars but there were loads of kids out there. There were parents out

:29:24. > :29:29.there. And I saw a couple of cars coming in slowly. It is just about

:29:30. > :29:34.shifting our idea about what a street should be and realising that

:35:14. > :35:23.looking at high cost loans -- and a date. Overdrafts as the big one. --

:35:24. > :35:28.and update. They said a while back it was the maximum they could charge

:35:29. > :35:31.and they think it has had a good effect for consumers. Today they are

:35:32. > :35:35.starting to turn their attention to unauthorised overdrafts and they

:35:36. > :35:37.have said this morning that in a lot of cases you see overdrafts,

:35:38. > :35:42.unauthorised overdraft, charging more than some payday loans. They

:35:43. > :35:46.think there needs to be a fundamental change to how that

:35:47. > :35:51.works. We just don't treat an arranged overdrafts, where you are

:35:52. > :36:00.going over without having told the bank beforehand, as a loan. What it

:36:01. > :36:05.is not alone. It is alone, but... Alone that hasn't been agreed to.

:36:06. > :36:09.People don't treat it as a loan, they treated as if they are a bit

:36:10. > :36:12.overdrawn, but the costs are very high. We have seen Lloyds make

:36:13. > :36:16.changes in recent weeks in this market where they have got rid of

:36:17. > :36:20.unauthorised overdrafts and have a set charge which will come in at

:36:21. > :36:24.some point. The other area they are looking at is rent to own, where you

:36:25. > :36:29.rent a fridge or a washing machine, and sometimes you can end up paying,

:36:30. > :36:37.by the time you have painted Orloff, three or four times what you would

:36:38. > :36:40.pay if you had the cash to pay it -- paid it all off.

:36:48. > :36:51.If found guilty, he could face a prison sentence.

:36:52. > :36:56.You would need one if you wanted to use what is apparently

:36:57. > :36:59.the world's longest pedestrian suspension bridge, which has just

:37:00. > :37:04.It is around a third of a mile long, and at its highest point nearly 300

:37:05. > :37:21.So watch your step. It is very narrow, and I bet there will be

:37:22. > :37:26.people on there. They will jump and start shaking a little bit, just to

:37:27. > :37:30.see it... Although we can't see how steady it is, it is clearly safe.

:37:31. > :37:37.Often they have a little bit of movement in them. I would be the one

:37:38. > :37:42.doing that. Would you? Yes, I am really annoying. More annoying than

:37:43. > :37:48.usual. Sally, take us to somewhere more comfortable. A brilliant night

:37:49. > :37:52.last night. There is something about this England team, they are playing

:37:53. > :37:56.well, scoring goals, defending well. The manager, Mark Sampson, looks

:37:57. > :37:58.exhausted, but the players look great.

:37:59. > :38:00.England are through to the semi-finals of the Women's Euros,

:38:01. > :38:04.after the Lionesses beat France for the first in 43 years.

:38:05. > :38:07.Next up for Mark Sampson's side are the tournament hosts,

:38:08. > :38:09.the Netherlands, who they will play on Thursday night.

:38:10. > :38:11.Our correspondent Katie Gornall was at the match.

:38:12. > :38:14.England advance, and it feels like a huge step forward.

:38:15. > :38:17.France had beaten them in the last three major tournaments.

:38:18. > :38:21.It just shows, the celebration on the pitch, how much it

:38:22. > :38:27.I don't know how many times I've been involved in games

:38:28. > :38:29.against France, come away with a win.

:38:30. > :38:33.So tonight means absolutely everything.

:38:34. > :38:36.In this latest chapter of an old feud, England

:38:37. > :38:43.But, in the early stages, the play did not match the PR,

:38:44. > :38:46.French player Marie-Laure Delie coming closest in a nervy first

:38:47. > :38:50.Mark Sampson had described his players as a team of streetfighters.

:38:51. > :38:53.Jill Scott, otherwise impressive, took that to heart.

:38:54. > :38:57.This would rule her out of the semi-final.

:38:58. > :39:00.France started to take control until Lucy Bronze cued up the ball,

:39:01. > :39:06.This is her fifth goal of the tournament.

:39:07. > :39:09.An injury to Karen Bardsley only added to the tension,

:39:10. > :39:12.and although France threatened, for the first time in a long time

:39:13. > :39:15.against their rivals, England held out.

:39:16. > :39:17.This was a historic win for the Lionesses.

:39:18. > :39:21.Mark Sampson's side will now face the Netherlands in the last four,

:39:22. > :39:23.and with the holders, Germany, knocked out,

:39:24. > :39:37.England are now the favourites for the title.

:39:38. > :39:41.Our correspondent Katie Gornall was at the match and joins us now.

:39:42. > :39:49.You said in your report that England are favourites. There is huge

:39:50. > :39:53.expectation around this site now. 'S is. Looking at how England have

:39:54. > :39:57.performed in the past against France, for a long time it felt like

:39:58. > :40:02.they would never beat them. This is a huge step forward. They haven't

:40:03. > :40:06.beaten France since 1974, before the manager of England was even born. So

:40:07. > :40:10.you could tell they were absolutely buzzing at the final whistle.

:40:11. > :40:13.Whereas France have always been better in the past, there is

:40:14. > :40:17.something different about this English team. There is a confidence,

:40:18. > :40:20.our belief that hasn't been there before. They are saying they are

:40:21. > :40:26.better prepared, they are fitter than ever before as well. And a

:40:27. > :40:29.change I have seen as they are so ruthless in front of goal now. They

:40:30. > :40:33.don't need many chances, and they take them. That has been summed up

:40:34. > :40:36.by Jodie Taylor this tournament as well. Speaking to the players

:40:37. > :40:40.afterwards, normally when you speak to them about a match which has just

:40:41. > :40:44.happened, they say they want to move on to the next one. This time they

:40:45. > :40:47.admitted they wanted to enjoy this. They wanted to let it sink in,

:40:48. > :40:50.Sherratt with their families. They said they wouldn't be sleeping very

:40:51. > :40:55.much last night. But they are just so excited about what they have

:40:56. > :41:00.achieved, and now it is onto a huge semi-final against the hosts, the

:41:01. > :41:04.Netherlands. And I imagine the atmosphere on Thursday would have

:41:05. > :41:09.been fairly intimidating for this England side. Yes, I think you can

:41:10. > :41:14.say that. The hosts have not quite embraced the tournament as a whole,

:41:15. > :41:17.this country, but they have really got behind their team. We have seen

:41:18. > :41:21.sell-out crowds following the Netherlands throughout this

:41:22. > :41:25.tournament, and it is a 30,000 seat stadium which I think will be packed

:41:26. > :41:30.for this England game in the Dutch players are really excited about it.

:41:31. > :41:36.A lot of the players are based in England, the Arsenal striker being

:41:37. > :41:41.one, another player from Liverpool. They are the only other team with a

:41:42. > :41:45.100% record at I don't think anyone will be particularly intimidated by

:41:46. > :41:51.them. Two years ago they beat the host nations, Canada, despite it

:41:52. > :41:54.being in front of a packed crowd. There is a confidence and

:41:55. > :41:58.fearlessness about this England team, and with Germany being knocked

:41:59. > :42:02.out, they are the favourites, and they seem to wear that tag very

:42:03. > :42:04.lightly. It is lovely to talk to you. Hopefully two more games for

:42:05. > :42:08.you to be reporting on at the Euros. Only an almighty South African

:42:09. > :42:10.defence can stop England's cricketers taking a series lead

:42:11. > :42:13.on the final day of the third Test. Some big hitting from England's

:42:14. > :42:16.batsmen meant they were able to declare, setting South Africa

:42:17. > :42:20.a world record chase of 492 to win. England's bowlers took four

:42:21. > :42:22.wickets before the close, with two in two balls

:42:23. > :42:24.for Ben Stokes. South Africa resume this morning

:42:25. > :42:30.still 375 runs behind. Last-innings pressure,

:42:31. > :42:32.450 looks like 900 sometimes, especially on a wicket that's

:42:33. > :42:34.been playing like this. So, you know, we've done very,

:42:35. > :42:38.very well to get the four wickets. So hopefully we can get these

:42:39. > :42:41.two here at the moment, and then, you know, finish

:42:42. > :42:43.it off pretty quickly, Lewis Hamilton says he listened

:42:44. > :42:49.to his heart rather than his head when he sacrificed a three vital

:42:50. > :42:52.points at the Hungarian Grand Prix. The Briton honoured a promise

:42:53. > :42:55.made earlier in the race to let his teammate Valtteri Bottas

:42:56. > :42:58.overtake him to finish third. It allowed race winner

:42:59. > :43:01.Sebastian Vettel to extend his World Championship lead to 14

:43:02. > :43:20.points, with nine races to go. It wasn't easy, I didn't do a favour

:43:21. > :43:25.to Kimi, but towards the end I did come back a bit and had a couple of

:43:26. > :43:29.laps where I had a bit of a cushion and could read the bet. But I really

:43:30. > :43:34.had to stay focused the whole race. I should just say thank you very

:43:35. > :43:38.much indeed to Charlie state for that team effort there. Your problem

:43:39. > :43:44.we can't tell what he did. He lent me his microphone. Here it is. Would

:43:45. > :43:52.you like to go on that one? Popping that back on.

:43:53. > :43:55.Officially known as the Third Battle of Ypres, today marks 100 years

:43:56. > :44:01.since one of the bloodiest offensives of the First World War,

:44:02. > :44:05.Fighting in the summer and autumn of 1917 left more than 500,000 men

:44:06. > :44:10.Our correspondent Robert Hall is at the Tyne Cot cemetery,

:44:11. > :44:16.near Ypres, where commemorations will take place later this morning.

:44:17. > :44:26.Good morning. Yes, good morning. And what an

:44:27. > :44:30.appropriate place for the ceremony to take place. It is the largest war

:44:31. > :44:36.cemetery in the world, close to 12,000 graves, with a thousand more

:44:37. > :44:41.names. And of the 12,000, and large number are unknown. What is also

:44:42. > :44:45.interesting is that this is in one of the objectives of the battle,

:44:46. > :44:51.gently sloping ground, which the British needed to take to gain the

:44:52. > :44:56.advantage. Let's get more on the context to this. Charlotte is an

:44:57. > :45:01.historian from the Imperial War Museum. Talk through the challenges

:45:02. > :45:06.for this attack. Looking behind you, looking at Ypres in the distance, it

:45:07. > :45:11.looks flat, it looks easy to move across. Absolutely. When you look at

:45:12. > :45:16.this terrain it is flat compared with some areas of England. Any part

:45:17. > :45:20.of high ground would give you an advantage, so you can see it right

:45:21. > :45:24.out over the battlefield, as we came this morning. It was extremely

:45:25. > :45:30.difficult to cross this terrain because it was liquid mud. All of

:45:31. > :45:34.the shelling caused the land to be disturbed, which meant drainage

:45:35. > :45:40.systems were destroyed, so it meant very quickly men were waist height

:45:41. > :45:44.in mud. It took weeks to reach the spot where we are now. It started

:45:45. > :45:49.quite well. It was dry to start with. The rain came and then went

:45:50. > :45:56.and then set in. And there were hopes that it would be a success. In

:45:57. > :46:01.September, they saw dry weather and they made great advances. In

:46:02. > :46:06.October, the rain returned and winter came early as well. It was

:46:07. > :46:10.cold and it was wet. You can imagine the streets would have been

:46:11. > :46:18.miserable and the troops exhausted. The pictures came to symbolise this

:46:19. > :46:23.battle. Passchendaele was synonymous with the bodies and the mud. It was

:46:24. > :46:27.hell on earth. They were trying to cross that ground and live in it

:46:28. > :46:31.once they had gained the ground and reached where they were supposed to.

:46:32. > :46:36.That is right. We have on display one of the Dock boards used in the

:46:37. > :46:39.battle. This is a wooden platform put across the landscape to try to

:46:40. > :46:45.help you get across. There were stories of men who slipped off and

:46:46. > :46:51.many drowned in the mud. That image would haunt veterans for years to

:46:52. > :46:58.come. Let me bring in Colonel Paddy Jackson. You lost a relative in the

:46:59. > :47:00.battle around Ypres. Think back to last night. Charlotte was talking

:47:01. > :47:07.about the terrible losses. Last night there was an excellent effort

:47:08. > :47:11.from Ypres, from a collective group of people, to tell the story. What

:47:12. > :47:15.did you make of that? It was an amazing privilege to be there. To

:47:16. > :47:19.see the effort they had gone into. This is a huge story. To capture

:47:20. > :47:29.that story through commemoration last night and later, most

:47:30. > :47:37.impressive was the light show and the projections onto the cloth hall.

:47:38. > :47:44.And within that, the testimony of the veterans who had been

:47:45. > :47:49.fortuitously recorded in the 1960s, I think. Yes, interesting point.

:47:50. > :47:56.Sorry to interrupt. The testimony is from a generation that is now gone.

:47:57. > :48:01.We look across Tyne Cot and we wonder where we go from here. Where

:48:02. > :48:06.does the army go? You are a serving soldier. When we think back on this,

:48:07. > :48:11.and we heard from Charlotte about the fight to get to where we are.

:48:12. > :48:19.That required a huge amount of courage and discipline, but also...

:48:20. > :48:24.And these themes still run through up to date with soldiers today who

:48:25. > :48:29.display that integrity and the selfless commitment ultimately that

:48:30. > :48:35.got the army here in 1917. And so, I think it isn't over, there is a

:48:36. > :48:39.sense of the sacrifices that were made there. Certainly from a

:48:40. > :48:45.soldier's perspective. I have seen the same values on display on

:48:46. > :48:50.operations - soldiers today are not that different. Thank you both very

:48:51. > :48:53.much indeed. And we will follow the developments that move towards that

:48:54. > :48:58.ceremony during the morning here on BBC News and of course a special

:48:59. > :48:59.programme later on as well, so you can watch the ceremony live.

:49:00. > :49:01.Thank you very much. Yes. And there's a BBC One Special

:49:02. > :49:04.programme, World War One Remembered: Here's Carol with a look

:49:05. > :49:20.at this morning's weather. It is still quite gloomy sometimes,

:49:21. > :49:25.isn't it? Yes, sometimes, Na, though there is still sunshine in the

:49:26. > :49:31.forecast. For the next couple of days, sunshine and showers. That is

:49:32. > :49:35.sunshine and showers, not just showers. Midweek, we are looking at

:49:36. > :49:39.rain, it will be windy. The rain will fragment, leading us into the

:49:40. > :49:43.end of the week, when we return to sunshine and showers. It is looking

:49:44. > :49:48.quieter this weekend. Today, low pressure is dominating the weather.

:49:49. > :49:53.We also have isobars here. That means it won't be as windy as it was

:49:54. > :49:58.for some over the weekend. We have a weak weather frontrunning

:49:59. > :50:06.northwards. It will continue to fragment across Scotland through the

:50:07. > :50:09.morning and stern showery. We have breezy conditions, nothing very

:50:10. > :50:13.strong, and a lot of dry weather. Through the day showers will

:50:14. > :50:16.develop. Especially heavy across Wales, the Midlands, northern

:50:17. > :50:20.England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, where we might see thunder

:50:21. > :50:24.and lightning and hail. Further south showers are fewer and further

:50:25. > :50:29.between and less intense than on the weekend. So a lot of dry weather and

:50:30. > :50:35.a lot of sunshine. It is the 31st of July. Temperatures will get up to 22

:50:36. > :50:39.or 23. Across East Anglia and into the Midlands lot of dry weather. But

:50:40. > :50:45.the north Midlands were prone to more showers. Not all of us will

:50:46. > :50:49.catch one. There is a higher chance of seeing a shower. Not all of us

:50:50. > :50:53.will see one. It could be sundry with some hail. It is the same for

:50:54. > :50:58.Northern Ireland. There is the odd heavy one but in between quite a bit

:50:59. > :51:03.of dry weather. For Wales, sunshine and showers sums it up. Don't

:51:04. > :51:06.forget, in the sunshine it will feel pleasant. As we had on through the

:51:07. > :51:11.course of the evening and overnight, many of the showers will fade. We

:51:12. > :51:17.will see some of them line up in the west. Temperature-wise, falling

:51:18. > :51:21.between 11- 14 or 15 Celsius. If you are camping, take something warm

:51:22. > :51:25.with you. Otherwise, temperatures are not too bad. And into tomorrow

:51:26. > :51:29.we start with showers in the west, and then through the day you will

:51:30. > :51:33.find more showers will develop and it is a similar scenario - not all

:51:34. > :51:38.of us will see one but some will be heavy and thundery. And again in the

:51:39. > :51:43.sunshine, temperatures up to 23, 24 in the south-east. As removing to

:51:44. > :51:47.Wednesday, that's when we have the next area of low pressure coming in.

:51:48. > :51:51.It is more potent. It will bring rain and a squeeze on the isobars

:51:52. > :51:55.tells you it will be accompanied by windy conditions. We start on a dry

:51:56. > :51:59.and bright note with sunshine in central and eastern areas. Then the

:52:00. > :52:04.area of low pressure comes in, taking rain with it, steadily moving

:52:05. > :52:11.north-east was through the day. And timing wise, this chart ends at 4pm.

:52:12. > :52:14.Four o'clock on the dot, OK. Thank you.

:52:15. > :52:22.The Internet has had an effect on how we purchase everything. And Sean

:52:23. > :52:25.is going to explain how we buy houses as well. We have seen an

:52:26. > :52:33.increase in how many people are buying homes online through online

:52:34. > :52:41.estate agents. It has been a tough time for estate agents generally.

:52:42. > :52:46.Countrywide, and Foxtons as well, have reported huge falls in profit.

:52:47. > :52:49.There is a report out this morning which reckons around 5000 estate

:52:50. > :52:56.agents around the country have financial problems. We have heard a

:52:57. > :53:00.lot about how few houses agents have at the moment. That is making it

:53:01. > :53:03.tough to make money. And there is increased competition from online

:53:04. > :53:10.estate agents. Has the high street estate agent had its day? The ones

:53:11. > :53:13.we have were really good and we had no problems with them although we

:53:14. > :53:17.developed a relationship with the person we bought the house from as

:53:18. > :53:21.well so it was seamless. I remember the estate agent clearly so that I

:53:22. > :53:26.never use them again. It wasn't a great experience. In future, we are

:53:27. > :53:30.going to sell our house shortly, we might do an online one where you pay

:53:31. > :53:38.a certain fee. If you have an online presence with one of the Purple Bri

:53:39. > :53:42.or one of those, then I don't see why you should pay more. If you have

:53:43. > :53:45.bricks and mortar with the traditional estate agent, in

:53:46. > :53:46.reality, the service is no different.

:53:47. > :53:54.Robert Reed is an estate agent from Cheshire.

:53:55. > :54:02.Is it tough times out there for estate agents? Estate agencies are a

:54:03. > :54:06.competition industry and they always will be and there is a mixed

:54:07. > :54:10.picture. Some estate agents have found the market, have found deals

:54:11. > :54:13.to be done, and some areas it is tougher because of shortage of stock

:54:14. > :54:16.in the first place. Across the country it is a mixed picture. There

:54:17. > :54:23.are difficulties and some opportunities. Last week two big

:54:24. > :54:26.companies had profits falling massively. There must be something

:54:27. > :54:31.going on that is making it so tough. If you take the wider economic

:54:32. > :54:36.climate, what tends to help the housing market is certainty. And

:54:37. > :54:41.what helps is when there is a sense of second wind. There is quite a lot

:54:42. > :54:44.of uncertainty. There was the general election, Brexit, the effect

:54:45. > :54:51.it will have, and that will bring about a certain amount of caution.

:54:52. > :54:54.On top of that there are structural issues, first-time homebuyer

:54:55. > :54:59.struggling to get into the market, so there are wider issues. What

:55:00. > :55:03.about online estate agents? They are direct competitors of yours. ARU

:55:04. > :55:07.finding more people are interested in just going through the online

:55:08. > :55:11.route? We heard the lady say that you pay a fixed fee and that is it.

:55:12. > :55:17.No percentage of sale price? Are they happy to go online? Number one,

:55:18. > :55:22.it is the wrong way to analyse it. It surely should be about the price

:55:23. > :55:30.you achieve at the end and what the agent can add. Whether it is online

:55:31. > :55:34.or a hybrid model. It should be about the end outcome, not just what

:55:35. > :55:40.fee you are paying. The answer to the question is, yes, people will

:55:41. > :55:43.explore online. High-street agents have profited on picking up work

:55:44. > :55:48.from the online agent second time around. It is forcing high-street

:55:49. > :55:57.agents to up their game and outcompete condition. Is it a

:55:58. > :56:01.reputational issue, people are not wanting to use a high-street agent?

:56:02. > :56:05.People want a good agent, high-street or online, people want

:56:06. > :56:09.great service. If you don't provide that service, you don't get the work

:56:10. > :56:14.and that applies online only all high street and online. I think

:56:15. > :56:19.there is a world of opportunity for the high street and online presence.

:56:20. > :56:23.If you offer poor service and you try to charge a big fee, the

:56:24. > :56:29.customer will find you out. It is a great challenge. Bring it on. Thank

:56:30. > :56:35.you very much. He is still in the job. We will see how he is doing. I

:56:36. > :56:39.think it is quite refreshing. You often hear about rubbish service and

:56:40. > :56:42.you are stuck with rubbish service. Now it is like, OK, people offering

:56:43. > :56:43.better for less. Thank you. Time now to get the news,

:02:24. > :02:27.numbers, there are people trained in mental health nursing who are not

:02:28. > :02:31.currently working in the NHS. We have a programme to attract them

:02:36. > :02:39.biggest expansion in mental health provision in Europe going on at the

:02:40. > :02:49.moment. We are proud of what we are doing but we want to do a lot more.

:02:50. > :02:53.Also speaking earlier was the head of the Royal College of Nursing who

:02:54. > :02:59.questioned how many people could be trained in such a short space of

:03:00. > :03:03.time. It's not long, 2021, those skilled nurses will need to be in

:04:08. > :04:09.to remember their passing. Officially known as the Third Battle

:04:10. > :04:14.of Ypres, Passchendaele lasted until November 1917,

:04:15. > :04:16.fought in the west Flanders region It became infamous not only

:04:17. > :04:20.for the number of deaths, Constant shelling and the heaviest

:04:21. > :04:30.rain for 30 years created a muddy wasteland, that became so deep,

:04:31. > :04:34.men and horses drowned in it. The Last Post has been played

:04:35. > :04:56.in Ypres through the decades. The Menin Gate has over 54,000 names

:04:57. > :04:58.carved into its stone, remembering those who

:04:59. > :05:02.have no known grave. It marks where troops marched

:05:19. > :05:22.who were killed on the Ypres Salient during the First World

:05:23. > :05:34.War are remembered. The defence of the city at such

:05:38. > :05:47.with a special service at Tyne Cot Cemetery,

:05:48. > :05:48.where thousands are buried. Such was the slaughter, the majority

:05:49. > :06:01.of the graves remain unmarked. We can go to Tyne Cot cemetery now,

:06:02. > :06:06.our correspondent Robert Hall is there. It is mindful that looking at

:06:07. > :06:10.that film and those images, the dreadful loss of life and the

:06:11. > :06:14.conditions that people fought in and to see you with that extraordinary

:06:15. > :06:18.backdrop of the cemetery and the blue skies above you, it is very

:06:19. > :06:24.moving being in those places, is it not. It is. I think that is what

:06:25. > :06:29.brings so many people here over the years, particularly perhaps in more

:06:30. > :06:33.recent years. It is a beautiful and now a very peaceful place but the

:06:34. > :06:38.stark horror of what happened all those years ago is right in front of

:06:39. > :06:44.you. Row upon row of stone, almost prospers and Graves, most are known.

:06:45. > :06:50.You made that point, people were obliterated by the ferocity of what

:06:51. > :07:02.was going on during those attacks as British and Allied troops tried to

:07:03. > :07:09.gain the ground. As they tried to make that advance, straight in the

:07:10. > :07:13.line, relieve the pressure on the city of Ypres. The building behind

:07:14. > :07:17.me is part of the cemetery, they form part of the memorial, this was

:07:18. > :07:20.a German support line, the front lines were a little way beyond that

:07:21. > :07:24.even with a bit of high ground they looked down on British positions

:07:25. > :07:29.which is why it was so important. This peaceful farmland, you can't

:07:30. > :07:35.imagine what it was like, the artillery had destroyed the

:07:36. > :07:44.drainage, it had rained and rained, so the water just sat on the clay.

:07:45. > :07:47.If you fell off the boards that wound up to the trenches you would

:07:48. > :07:52.drown and less people could put you out and they lost men that way and

:07:53. > :07:58.that is why Passchendaele, the name of the village not far away, came to

:07:59. > :08:02.symbolise what took place here a century ago, the horror. It was a

:08:03. > :08:06.place and a story that people could not talk about, those who survived,

:08:07. > :08:11.it remained with them for the rest of their lives and they found it

:08:12. > :08:16.terribly difficult to tell the story but now this weekend today that

:08:17. > :08:21.story is being told again, Charlie. Of course. Given the scale of the

:08:22. > :08:24.loss of life and the injuries there, so many families down the

:08:25. > :08:28.generations are affected. I know quite a few of them have been able

:08:29. > :08:36.to go at doing these commemorations, haven't they. There were 200

:08:37. > :08:41.families invited, we met two people yesterday, Dorothy and her cousin

:08:42. > :08:49.Peter. Their grandfather had served in the Worcestershire Regiment.

:08:50. > :08:52.Peter had never been to the Menin Gate where the name is inscribed and

:08:53. > :08:58.he was overwhelmed seeing it. I think social media has had a lot to

:08:59. > :09:00.do with it as well. Families and children are coming part of the

:09:01. > :09:04.government funded centenary programme. They are talking to their

:09:05. > :09:09.families and people can research more. So it's not just a question of

:09:10. > :09:15.coming and taking in the cemeteries, you can come with a purpose to

:09:16. > :09:19.follow up story. And if there is an unknown, to find a name. If there is

:09:20. > :09:24.a reason for being here I think that is part of it as well. Thank you

:09:25. > :09:34.very much, Robert. It's my minutes past eight. Broadcaster Vanessa felt

:09:35. > :09:39.says she felt extremely upset by an article in the Sunday Times

:09:44. > :09:47.both Jewish. Speaking on radio London where she does the breakfast

:09:48. > :09:51.shows she said the article was racist and hurtful. It is

:09:52. > :09:54.surprisingly hurtful. I would have thought that after all these years I

:09:55. > :10:00.would have been immune to it and that is not at all how I felt.

:10:01. > :10:02.Extremely upset. Also the layers of people at the newspaper rejects

:10:03. > :10:07.something before it goes into the paper, the subeditor, the legal

:10:08. > :10:10.team, not one of them spotted it and thought that is blatantly

:10:11. > :10:18.anti-Semitic, vile and unsuitable, that cannot go in the paper. Since

:10:19. > :10:19.then the commonest Kevin Myers has been relieved of his position as

:10:20. > :10:20.columnist at the Sunday Times. The Chancellor, Philip Hammond,

:13:24. > :13:24.and everyone is fine. It's 8:13am. All the news and the weather coming

:13:25. > :13:26.up for you. People affected by the Manchester

:13:27. > :13:29.arena bombing in May are to be offered access to a dedicated mental

:13:30. > :13:32.health service from the NHS. Doctors say it can usually take up

:13:33. > :13:35.to three months to recover from witnessing such a traumatic

:13:36. > :13:37.event and that victims and those close to them may

:13:38. > :13:39.need additional support. Dr Alan Barrett is a consultant

:13:40. > :13:41.clinical psychologist for the Manchester Resilience Hub

:13:42. > :13:51.and joins us now. Good morning. Why do we need this

:13:52. > :13:57.harbour or why do these specific people need a hub. Is the general

:13:58. > :14:08.system not equipped enough to help them? The reason we are setting up

:14:09. > :14:13.this coordinated and mental health hub is to make sure everyone

:14:14. > :14:17.affected by this incident has access to the care they need. So rather

:14:18. > :14:22.than waiting for people to access the mainstream of, we don't want

:14:23. > :14:31.anyone to be missed. Mainstream offer? You mean contacting their GP?

:14:32. > :14:35.Refilling themselves to a primary mental health service... And these

:14:36. > :14:39.are people who have been directly affected. The people of Manchester

:14:40. > :14:44.and the UK are upset but you are talking about people with a specific

:14:45. > :14:48.relationship? Specifically we are interested in supporting people who

:14:49. > :14:55.were there on the evening, either someone who went to the concert all

:14:56. > :14:59.was on the staff, that number is about 1500 individuals so to get the

:15:00. > :15:04.appropriate care to the right people in the right way we need to focus on

:15:05. > :15:10.those individuals first. This is your area of expertise. An effect

:15:11. > :15:15.from an event like this can strike people in many different ways, can't

:15:16. > :15:17.it. Immediately it can seem to have no effect, in the long term, what

:15:18. > :15:29.are the signs to look out for? So for example people in the early

:15:30. > :15:33.stages feel very unsettled. They might be thinking about what they

:15:34. > :15:37.have seen, when they don't intend to. Their sleep is disrupted. Maybe

:15:38. > :15:43.some of their behaviour is changing in terms of they are avoiding

:15:44. > :15:47.certain areas like crowds or maybe they are going towards safe and

:15:48. > :15:51.secure attachment figures. So children and young people might

:15:52. > :15:56.appear more clingy and over time we will expect that for a lot of people

:15:57. > :16:01.that would reduce and we're interested in those people that at

:16:02. > :16:05.this stage sort of ten to 12 weeks after the incident if they're still

:16:06. > :16:08.having difficulties then it might be an indication that they should put

:16:09. > :16:14.their hand up and ask for help. This morning, there is a story nationwide

:16:15. > :16:18.about trying to get more mental health available, Jeremy Hunt was

:16:19. > :16:23.speaking to us this morning. The implication from what the Government

:16:24. > :16:27.is saying, you need more. You are setting up a specialist unit, there

:16:28. > :16:31.are people right now who need help and you are talking about people

:16:32. > :16:34.localised who aren't getting it? Well, I have not had an opportunity

:16:35. > :16:38.to look at detail at the announcement today. I'm not seeking

:16:39. > :16:45.to have you make a political point. The fact that you're setting up a

:16:46. > :16:48.specialist unit. The implication is that you think that there are people

:16:49. > :16:53.out there that need help and are not getting it? The offer is uniform.

:16:54. > :16:57.People from outside of Greater Manchester also attended the concert

:16:58. > :17:00.and this hub is also valuable for them to co-ordinate their care

:17:01. > :17:07.pathways and the region that they live. You mentioned the time frame

:17:08. > :17:11.and when we were introducing you we said it could take up to six months

:17:12. > :17:14.to recover from witnessing a horrific event. What happens after

:17:15. > :17:23.that period of time. How long will the hub be there for people? We

:17:24. > :17:26.expect natural recovery to occur within three months. If people are

:17:27. > :17:31.experiencing difficulties and unable to go about their business etcetera,

:17:32. > :17:35.after that time period, then it's probably a clue that they need some

:17:36. > :17:39.help. How do you monitor that? You have to keep on top of them more

:17:40. > :17:44.than people recognising I need help. It might be that they are not

:17:45. > :17:50.integrating and it seems normal? One thing that the hub is set up to do

:17:51. > :17:54.is assertive monitoring and contacting people. So for three

:17:55. > :17:59.months, six months, nine months and 12 months after the incident there

:18:00. > :18:04.is a deliberate intention to invite those affected to complete some

:18:15. > :18:21.you very much for talking to us. A music festival has been called off

:18:46. > :18:52.further information on. People will take their wellies, but

:18:53. > :18:58.only for a certain amount of mud. Here's Carol with a look

:18:59. > :19:07.at this morning's weather. There are people saying August,

:19:08. > :19:11.they're saying is going to be a lot more wet weather. That's what people

:19:12. > :19:17.say. Certainly the papers are making a big deal about that.

:19:18. > :19:23.Tomorrow is 1st August and Wednesday is looking like it will be wet. But

:19:24. > :19:27.in between the showers there will be sunshine around too and because we

:19:28. > :19:32.are looking at the end of July and August strength of sunshine, it will

:19:33. > :19:35.feel warm. I know at the weekend I was at Car Fest and some of my

:19:36. > :19:40.friends were getting sun burnt because it was cloudy and we had a

:19:41. > :19:44.shower and then it dried up. Today, we have got sunshine and showers.

:19:45. > :19:47.Some of us will miss the showers altogether. We will see rain and

:19:48. > :19:50.windier conditions in the middle of the week of the that all breaks up

:19:51. > :19:53.and then we are back into sunshine and showers towards the end of the

:19:54. > :19:57.week, but something a little bit more settled coming our way. It

:19:58. > :20:00.looks at the moment for the weekend. Low pressure issing driving our

:20:01. > :20:05.weather which is why it is unsettled. The isobars are well

:20:06. > :20:08.spaced so it's breezy today rather than windy. We have got a weather

:20:09. > :20:10.front which is weakening all the time and moving north-east wards

:20:11. > :20:14.across Scotland. That will turn showery. Showers this the west, but

:20:15. > :20:18.look at the amount of dry weather on the chart too. So today, we will see

:20:19. > :20:21.further showers develop across Wales, parts of the Midlands,

:20:22. > :20:25.northern England, Northern Ireland, and especially Scotland. Some of

:20:26. > :20:29.those will be heavy and thundery with hail, but in between, all of

:20:30. > :20:34.the showers, we're looking at bright spells or indeed sunny skies. So,

:20:35. > :20:37.that's the scenario across both Northern Ireland and Scotland this

:20:38. > :20:40.afternoon. Bright spells meaning at times you will see areas of cloud

:20:41. > :20:44.and sunny spells or showers, but some of the showers as I mentioned

:20:45. > :20:47.could be heavy. In the showers, the temperature will come down a touch.

:20:48. > :20:51.In the sunshine, it will go back up. For northern England and into the

:20:52. > :20:58.Midlands and Wales, again, we've got that mixture of sunny spells and

:20:59. > :21:01.showers. As we push into East Anglia King's Lynn and Norwich staying dry

:21:02. > :21:05.and missing the showers. As we come further south, again if you catch a

:21:06. > :21:08.shower, it's not going to be as intense as it was yesterday and they

:21:09. > :21:12.are going to be fewer and further between anyway. For Wales too, it's

:21:13. > :21:17.bright spells, sunshine and showers. Now as we head on through the

:21:18. > :21:21.evening and overnight, again, the breeze will really tend to fade a

:21:22. > :21:25.touch as indeed will the showers, but by the end of the night, we will

:21:26. > :21:30.have a line of showers in the west and temperatures falling to between

:21:31. > :21:33.11 and 15 Celsius. If you are camping or anything well take

:21:34. > :21:38.something warm to wear with you because it will get chilly. Tomorrow

:21:39. > :21:42.we start off on a dry note except in the west where we will have a line

:21:43. > :21:45.of showers. Again, there is the potential for the showers to be

:21:46. > :21:50.heavy and thundery with hail. Not all of us will see them. Some of us

:21:51. > :21:54.will just see sunshine and in the sunshine we could have highs up to

:21:55. > :21:58.24 Celsius. It is as we move from Tuesday and into Wednesday our next

:21:59. > :22:02.area of low pressure comes our way. Zooming in from the Atlantic. Taking

:22:03. > :22:05.some rain with it. You can see the squeeze on the isobars telling you

:22:06. > :22:08.that it's going to be windier. So we start off on a dry and a bright note

:22:09. > :22:12.across much of the UK. Then this rain comes in across the Isles of

:22:13. > :22:16.Scilly, the Channel Islands, south-west England, heading through

:22:17. > :22:20.the Midlands, Wales, northern England and Northern Ireland and

:22:21. > :22:25.towards the south-west of Scotland. But that will turn more showery by

:22:26. > :22:29.Thursday and then as I mentioned Naga and Charlie we are back into

:22:30. > :22:31.sunshine. Don't just hear the word showers, hear the word sunshine as

:22:32. > :22:44.well! Sunshine and showers. Got it!

:22:45. > :22:48.We will talk about the fees that people have to pay on top of

:22:49. > :22:53.borrowing money. Sean, you are taking a look at this now. Sometimes

:22:54. > :22:56.the fees are bigger than the amount you're borrowing.

:22:57. > :23:02.That was a problem with the payday loan market. The regulator did make

:23:03. > :23:05.a change in and they have said this morning that those changes the

:23:06. > :23:09.capping of interest rates in the payday loan market has worked. They

:23:10. > :23:13.reckon fewer people are going to debt charities now than before and

:23:14. > :23:17.fewer people are taking on the short-term loans that can't afford

:23:18. > :23:21.it, so they have turned their eye now to overdrafts and particularly

:23:22. > :23:26.unauthorised overdrafts where they say some of the interest rates

:23:27. > :23:30.charged can be higher than payday loans. They don't want to go about

:23:31. > :23:36.capping. They think there needs to be a more fundamental approach to

:23:37. > :23:43.how we all treat unauthorised overdrafts. So we have seen Lloyds

:23:44. > :23:47.make changes recently on that. Other banks may well follow. They have

:23:48. > :23:50.looked at the rent-to-own sector, the regulator has this morning. This

:23:51. > :23:54.is where you effectively rent a fridge or a washing machine over

:23:55. > :23:58.several years and then you have the option to buy it. It's effectively

:23:59. > :24:06.another form of a loan, short-term, high cost. Often you end up paying

:24:07. > :24:08.more? Yes. Sean, thank you very much.

:24:09. > :24:13.The time is 8.24am. Now, how many of you used

:24:14. > :24:16.to rush home from school, call for your friends,

:24:17. > :24:18.and then spend hours playing in the road before

:24:19. > :24:21.being called in for your dinner? It's a tradition that has

:24:22. > :24:22.virtually disappeared, for a number of reasons,

:24:23. > :24:24.concerns about safety and traffic issues,

:24:25. > :24:28.as well as the attraction of gadgets, but as Breakfast's

:24:29. > :24:30.Graham Satchell has been finding out there is a movement to get children

:24:31. > :24:34.back playing in the street. The street is closed, the bunting

:24:35. > :24:42.is up, it's time to play. For many of these children,

:24:43. > :24:48.it's the first time they've ever Five-year-old Noah is doing noughts

:24:49. > :24:55.and crosses with his dad I think it's quite amazing and I

:24:56. > :25:10.like that we're having a party! Organised street play sessions

:25:11. > :25:17.like this started about five Today groups of residents

:25:18. > :25:21.from across the country are applying to local authorities to close roads

:25:22. > :25:25.and let their children play. I have two kids and they spend quite

:25:26. > :25:32.a bit of time inside the house It's how I used to

:25:33. > :25:38.play back in the day. We used to go outside

:25:39. > :25:40.and play on the streets, A series of studies published today

:25:41. > :25:48.show these play projects have increased children's physical

:25:49. > :25:53.activity, improved their mental health and their social skills,

:25:54. > :25:56.but the advantages are It's not just about

:25:57. > :26:02.the children playing out, it's about the neighbours

:26:03. > :26:05.starting to know each other. There is a nice community

:26:06. > :26:08.here and having the chance to get out and see each other and relax

:26:09. > :26:14.is nice, and it reminds us of what it was like when

:26:15. > :26:16.we were kids, I guess. There are now more than 500 streets

:26:17. > :26:19.in 45 locations doing play sessions like this,

:26:20. > :26:21.but today's study does say that there would be more if local

:26:22. > :26:23.authority procedures were streamlined and some

:26:24. > :26:25.cost barriers removed. Local authorities need to make it

:26:26. > :26:29.as easy as possible for residents to do so that there is not

:26:30. > :26:32.lots of bureaucracy and people can simply reclaim their street

:26:33. > :26:35.for a couple of hours monthly I think there would be

:26:36. > :26:38.a much bigger uptake. Meanwhile, Noah has

:26:39. > :26:41.been trying to draw... Perfect.

:26:42. > :27:01.Carry on, young man. Sasha got in touch to say, "We have

:27:02. > :27:07.neighbours moaning about kids playing out. Very uncomfortable.

:27:08. > :27:08.Now, take them away from the street to avoid the hassle with everyone

:27:09. > :27:10.complaining." Time now to get the news,

:37:00. > :37:04.France. Fern Whelan joins us now. They still haven't conceded a goal?

:37:05. > :37:11.Just the one in the whole tournament so far, doing really well. An

:37:12. > :37:16.incredible performance. They have scored into double figures as well.

:37:17. > :37:22.They are performing beyond expectations, is that fair to say?

:37:23. > :37:29.At the moment, but they have gone into the tournament as one of the

:37:30. > :37:33.favourites. What is driving them? I think over the last couple of years,

:37:34. > :37:37.Mark Sampson and we got the bronze medal in the World Cup and the buzz

:37:38. > :37:43.around women's football is fantastic. It has got massive. The

:37:44. > :37:48.difference with this team, they are the fittest, they have worked

:37:49. > :37:52.incredibly hard on their fitness. You can see that in the last 15

:37:53. > :37:57.minutes of every game so far, they don't seem to look tired? They

:37:58. > :38:03.don't, they are stronger and fitter than they have ever been. They had a

:38:04. > :38:08.camp before they got out there with a lot of hard work and that is

:38:09. > :38:12.paying off for them now. When was the tipping point, when something

:38:13. > :38:19.started to change for the England setup? Is there a time, is there a

:38:20. > :38:25.reason? London 2012, that was a massive tipping point for women's

:38:26. > :38:30.football. The whole of the UK got behind us and saw us get the bronze

:38:31. > :38:34.medal and a lot of people sat up and thought, women can play football. We

:38:35. > :38:43.have noticed it in crowds coming to watch us play. The players are

:38:44. > :38:48.conscious of the fact it is on TV, radio, back home, as it were, it is

:38:49. > :38:54.big and that is translating on the page? It is massive on Twitter,

:38:55. > :39:02.everyone is following them, people have travelled out to watch them.

:39:03. > :39:06.They are the biggest, they say they can look and see their family

:39:07. > :39:13.straightaway. They know everybody is backing them. I don't think you are

:39:14. > :39:16.mean, Sally, all the time! What is refreshing, someone who is watching

:39:17. > :39:22.football who doesn't know too much about it, is not seeing people fall

:39:23. > :39:25.over, rolling round and grabbing part of their body, looking for

:39:26. > :39:31.penalties and free kicks. That is one of the things that has been

:39:32. > :39:34.spotted. Sally, you were accused of insinuating the men do this more

:39:35. > :39:40.than women, is it because they are tough because there is no nonsense?

:39:41. > :39:44.They just get up, they want to play football, none of the playacting,

:39:45. > :39:51.they want to put the ball in the back of the net at the end of the

:39:52. > :39:54.day so they don't need to do anything added. They play the hosts

:39:55. > :39:58.next and I think that is their most challenging game in lots of

:39:59. > :40:03.different ways for this tournament? Yes, huge pressure on them, but also

:40:04. > :40:07.the hosts. They have got to perform under pressure. They did it in

:40:08. > :40:13.Canada in the World Cup a couple of years ago. 50,000 Canadians and

:40:14. > :40:18.England beat them, so I think they can do the same again. Germany is

:40:19. > :40:28.out. For those who don't know, they were the favourites? Along with

:40:29. > :40:32.England. The England coach, Mark Sampson, he is quite bold in his

:40:33. > :40:38.language, it isn't he? Do you think it drives the team, helps give the

:40:39. > :40:43.team a bit more confidence as well? I feel his confidence has filtered

:40:44. > :40:48.through. For the first time in a lot of years, they feel like they are

:40:49. > :40:51.going to win. Yesterday they didn't look fearful of France, they went

:40:52. > :40:55.straight in and that got them through the game. It is almost that

:40:56. > :41:00.believe they will always get the goal, no matter how long the game

:41:01. > :41:05.goes on, they always have a goal in them, I think. That has been a

:41:06. > :41:15.problem in the past, we have Jody Taylor scoring a lot of goals for

:41:16. > :41:18.them. Lovely to talk to you. You ask what the difference is, I think it

:41:19. > :41:22.is Mark Sampson, that has changed everything for them. He is super

:41:23. > :41:27.animated, up for it. They are aware it is on television and they love it

:41:28. > :41:30.is on the television and they want it on television more, they love the

:41:31. > :41:32.publicity. They are embracing it. We will be

:41:33. > :41:34.cheering them on. Here's Carol with a look

:41:35. > :41:46.at this morning's weather. Plenty of sunshine around. This is a

:41:47. > :41:52.picture from Hertfordshire. Lovely blue skies. But we have showers in

:41:53. > :41:55.the forecast. Not just this morning but today. The forecast is sunshine

:41:56. > :42:00.and showers as low pressure continues to drive the weather. You

:42:01. > :42:04.can see from the spacing on those isobars, it will be breezy, but not

:42:05. > :42:08.as breezy as it was for some yesterday. We have this week whether

:42:09. > :42:11.from moving north eastwards across Scotland and it will continue to

:42:12. > :42:19.fragments, turning rain more showery through the course of the day. A lot

:42:20. > :42:21.of dry weather around this morning and sunshine. Through the day the

:42:22. > :42:25.sunshine will develop and heavy showers across Wales, parts of the

:42:26. > :42:28.Midlands, Northern Ireland and Scotland and some of those could

:42:29. > :42:33.have some hail and some thunder and lightning embedded in them,

:42:34. > :42:37.especially over Scotland. In the sunshine, temperatures getting to 17

:42:38. > :42:42.in Belfast. In between the showers you will see some sunshine.

:42:43. > :42:47.Temperatures 17, 18 and there could be 18 in Edinburgh. As we move

:42:48. > :42:51.across northern England, similar story, bright spells, so there will

:42:52. > :42:57.be large areas of Cloud, sunshine and showers. Further south, east

:42:58. > :43:02.Anglia into the south-east, we could miss most of the showers, if not all

:43:03. > :43:05.and get away with a dry day. Whereas across Gloucestershire and into

:43:06. > :43:09.Somerset, Devon and Cornwall, there is the risk of a shower and if you

:43:10. > :43:14.catch on, less intense than yesterday and not as frequent. In

:43:15. > :43:17.Wales, a mixture of bright spells, sunshine and showers. This evening,

:43:18. > :43:25.most of the showers will fade, except from the West. In the second

:43:26. > :43:27.half of the night, the showers will align themselves so we will have a

:43:28. > :43:30.line of showers coming in from the west. Temperatures dipping to

:43:31. > :43:34.between 11 and 13 and 14. If you are camping, it will be chilly, if not,

:43:35. > :43:38.it is roughly where we should be. Tomorrow we start with dry weather

:43:39. > :43:43.with Chow is in the West, developing further through the day. The chance

:43:44. > :43:47.of slow-moving once, with hail and thunder. Not all of us will see them

:43:48. > :43:52.and then in the warmth of the sunshine, temperatures getting up to

:43:53. > :43:57.between 17 and 24 Celsius. And it changes because the next area of low

:43:58. > :44:00.pressure comes in from the Atlantic bringing this up front and tightly

:44:01. > :44:04.squeezed isobars with it. That combination means we will see wet

:44:05. > :44:09.and windy weather. But look at the dry weather we are starting with. A

:44:10. > :44:13.lot of sunshine to begin with or at worst, bright spells. Then rain

:44:14. > :44:17.marches in from the West, heading north eastwards through the course

:44:18. > :44:21.of the day. That leads us into a showery picture on Thursday and

:44:22. > :44:25.Friday. This is the forecast for the week ahead. Sunshine and showers

:44:26. > :44:31.Monday and Tuesday, wet and windy Wednesday. Showers on Thursday and

:44:32. > :44:35.Friday and Saturday it is sunshine and showers, but something drier and

:44:36. > :44:37.less windy and sunny on Sunday. At least, that is how it is looking

:44:38. > :44:41.currently. Officially known as the Third Battle

:44:42. > :44:44.of Ypres, today marks 100 years since one of the bloodiest

:44:45. > :44:59.offensives of the First World War, Robert Hall is at the Tyne Cot

:45:00. > :45:05.Cemetery where commemorations will take place. Good morning, seeing

:45:06. > :45:10.those gravestones behind you, you understand why people find this

:45:11. > :45:15.place so touching as they remember what happened? Yes, good morning.

:45:16. > :45:19.That is right, there are few better places than to spend a few minutes

:45:20. > :45:25.to think about what happened here a century ago. There are 12,000

:45:26. > :45:30.graves, pretty well 12,000 graves, 36,000 names of the unknown and

:45:31. > :45:33.unidentified carved into the panels that circle round the top of the

:45:34. > :45:38.cemetery. It is an interesting cemetery to look at because it is on

:45:39. > :45:46.land that was part of the objectives, part of the lumbar

:45:47. > :45:48.British and Commonwealth forces. A ceremony later attended by Prince

:45:49. > :45:52.Charles, but let's look at something that happened earlier because there

:45:53. > :45:57.was a ceremony at dawn, the time when the attack began at a Welsh

:45:58. > :46:02.cemetery, not too far from here. A salute fired and music and poetry.

:46:03. > :46:06.Again, a mood of contemplation and thoughtfulness. I think that

:46:07. > :46:11.probably carries on from what was going on in Ypres last night, those

:46:12. > :46:22.fantastic scenes in the square. The stories of the men who were here.

:46:23. > :46:27.Somebody I know, a historian, got very close to a man called Bert

:46:28. > :46:31.Fearns who served with the Lancashire Fusiliers. Peter did a

:46:32. > :46:35.series of interviews with him. A couple of weeks ago, we came back

:46:36. > :46:49.over here, and Peter brought those recordings, and we followed Bert's

:46:50. > :46:52.journey in the battle. Bert Fearns was with the Lancashire Fusiliers,

:46:53. > :46:57.and they were establishing themselves in this field before

:46:58. > :47:01.moving on another two miles to make the very first attacks on the

:47:02. > :47:04.Passchendaele Richard. The weather was very different today public was

:47:05. > :47:09.appalling weather. Bert and his comrades, hundreds, thousands of

:47:10. > :47:15.them, were in these fields around us, in shell holes. Let's hear

:47:16. > :47:23.Bert's own memories, which you recorded 21 years ago. All around us

:47:24. > :47:29.seemed to be nothing more than a sea of mud. You couldn't dig any

:47:30. > :47:34.trenches. We used to dig out the side of the shell hole and let it

:47:35. > :47:39.drain out of it so as to make it at least possible to stay in, instead

:47:40. > :47:43.of standing in water. Bert and his pals are leaving at dusk, so they're

:47:44. > :47:50.heading into the darkness. They are still on Mary 18-inch wide track. I

:47:51. > :47:54.will not call it a march, it was a trudge. We were very often taking

:47:55. > :48:02.quarter of an hour to do a couple of yards. Fellers were falling into

:48:03. > :48:08.shell holes, sliding off. We got some out, and I'm afraid there were

:48:09. > :48:15.some we couldn't get out. The point was, was it worth risking two men

:48:16. > :48:20.for us to save one? And this was where they ended up, after walking

:48:21. > :48:24.for ten hours. We are in Tyne Cot cemetery, and he sheltered behind

:48:25. > :48:29.this bunker, turned his wife or upside down and fell asleep on the

:48:30. > :48:35.stock. I was too exhausted to have any feeling at all. -- his rifle. I

:48:36. > :48:41.never got that exhilaration of, now is the time. It was just a case of,

:48:42. > :48:47.go, lads, and you went. He walked up this gentle slope and dropped down

:48:48. > :48:51.into a slope on the other side. And it was there that he told me about

:48:52. > :48:59.an experience which she recalled every single day for the rest of his

:49:00. > :49:07.life. We came across, erm, it would be about 100 yards square, of bodies

:49:08. > :49:12.that had been caught in an artillery, shrapnel attack. They

:49:13. > :49:19.were absolutely massacred. And they were cut to pieces. I did 64 hours

:49:20. > :49:23.or more of interview with Bert Fearns. He always believed that his

:49:24. > :49:29.battalion had reached their objective. They hadn't, they got

:49:30. > :49:32.nowhere near it. In actual fact, Passchendaele church, which is

:49:33. > :49:37.almost within touching distance of here, it took another six weeks, and

:49:38. > :49:44.thousands of lives, to get there. In the end, the only thing we could do

:49:45. > :49:49.was to turn back to almost, not quite as farcical almost where we

:49:50. > :49:59.started. The whole thing was a dismal failure. Charlotte, from the

:50:00. > :50:03.Imperial War Museum, we are right by that bunker, Bert's bunker, where he

:50:04. > :50:06.started from. It gives you an indication of the kind of obstacles

:50:07. > :50:10.which were in the way of those advancing forces TOWIE that's right.

:50:11. > :50:14.Where we are, you have got commanding views over the

:50:15. > :50:17.battlefields. These German bunkers would have had machine guns inside

:50:18. > :50:20.them and they would have been able to sweep right through all troops

:50:21. > :50:25.which were advancing. When Australian troops reached this area

:50:26. > :50:28.on the 4th of October 1917, they quickly wanted to make use of these

:50:29. > :50:31.bunkers themselves, but rather than having machine guns here, they

:50:32. > :50:35.turned them into first aid posts. And that was how the cemetery

:50:36. > :50:39.started? That's right. Some of the first burials here were some of the

:50:40. > :50:43.people who tragically the medics couldn't save. Looking behind you,

:50:44. > :50:47.it looks fairly flat terrain, fairly easy. But if we look at the

:50:48. > :50:51.photographs from the time, it was far from that. Bert was talking

:50:52. > :50:55.about the dangers just getting to the front line? Dog food it is hard

:50:56. > :50:59.to imagine today, when you look out over the beautiful fields, but all

:51:00. > :51:02.of this would have been glutinous mud, extremely difficult to move men

:51:03. > :51:07.and machines and everything that was needed to keep going. People have

:51:08. > :51:12.talked about Passchendaele, the futility, Bert's attack did not

:51:13. > :51:16.succeed Jacquart would you as a historian see this as a futile

:51:17. > :51:20.operation? I think certainly lessons were learned during the course of

:51:21. > :51:25.the battle. I think that certainly, in September of that year, they did

:51:26. > :51:30.make some advances, they try a new tactic, where they were going a

:51:31. > :51:34.little bit shorter distances so that they could preserve and get ready

:51:35. > :51:39.for the next advance. But overall, I think that, you know, for five miles

:51:40. > :51:45.of ground, there was over a quarter of a million Allied casualties, and

:51:46. > :51:48.it is hard to justify that thank you very much I am going to invite in a

:51:49. > :51:52.well-known face, Lewis Moody, come and join us. Tell me your personal

:51:53. > :51:59.connection before we talk about casualties among sportspeople? My

:52:00. > :52:02.mother's great uncle is commemorated here, and he died with the Royal Box

:52:03. > :52:08.regiment in November, at the end of the battle. He went through the

:52:09. > :52:14.Somme with the Berkshires as well. It is an incredibly emotional place

:52:15. > :52:22.do, but I felt I had to do it. I know you went to watch the ceremony

:52:23. > :52:26.in the square last night, we have got some pictures to remind people

:52:27. > :52:29.of what it looked like, but what did you take away from it? It was a

:52:30. > :52:34.wonderfully moving evening, but a happy evening, it was a celebration.

:52:35. > :52:38.Considering we're talking about a very sad event which happened, but

:52:39. > :52:42.we're talking 100 years, and the fact that it is still being

:52:43. > :52:45.commemorated, with so many relatives are still there, is what is

:52:46. > :52:52.important for me. And the love that was shown to these men who are here,

:52:53. > :52:56.and who were buried, and who were commemorated, by... Let's talk about

:52:57. > :53:00.sportsmen. Looking ahead, we don't know whether there will be big

:53:01. > :53:05.events like this again, but there is still this ongoing thought about how

:53:06. > :53:10.we remember in future, particularly this conflict. Sport, there is a

:53:11. > :53:16.sports connection, isn't there? Certainly. Part of my role with the

:53:17. > :53:23.RFU has been remembering those England internationals who died, of

:53:24. > :53:28.which there were 27. Along with the Scottish and an Irish international.

:53:29. > :53:34.Along with researching my family, it is important to go and remember

:53:35. > :53:37.those guys who were part of my forebears in rugby teams and the

:53:38. > :53:40.international sides and I feel I need to go and remember them come

:53:41. > :53:45.for me and for everyone else. Can you see it going on, as the

:53:46. > :53:50.generations pass? I certainly hope it does. I think it will. We are

:53:51. > :53:55.trying to pass on the baton, I will pass it onto my kids, he is an avid

:53:56. > :53:59.history fan, and I try to show him my great-grandfather's medals to

:54:00. > :54:03.instil interest in him. If we can keep doing that, then these people

:54:04. > :54:06.will keep being remaindered. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission

:54:07. > :54:09.have done an incredible job for 100 years and I'm sure they will

:54:10. > :54:13.continue to do so. Charlotte, you're also somebody else who is trying to

:54:14. > :54:19.help people remember - will that continue? Certainly, yes. At the

:54:20. > :54:22.Imperial War Museum, we always want to make sure that men and women from

:54:23. > :54:27.all over the world are remembered for their role in conflict. At the

:54:28. > :54:31.ceremony later on this morning, you can watch it live on BBC One. And we

:54:32. > :54:33.will be covering the build-up to it with Ben Proud in the coming hours

:54:34. > :54:38.on BBC News. Thank you very much. And there's a BBC One

:54:39. > :54:39.special programme, World War I Remembered -

:54:40. > :54:42.Passchendaele - at 11 Very few of us realise

:54:43. > :54:50.that the way words look, can be just as important

:54:51. > :54:52.as their meaning. In fact, companies will spend

:54:53. > :54:54.millions of pounds just to make sure that the typeface their name

:54:55. > :54:57.is written in fits with their brand. Two tyefaces in particular ?

:54:58. > :55:00.Johnston and Gill Sans - are the subject of

:55:01. > :55:01.a new documentary. Keith Doyle has been looking

:55:02. > :55:04.at their enduring legacy and how the way words look,

:55:05. > :55:09.has had to move with the times. We are surrounded by words -

:55:10. > :55:11.informing us, guiding All of these are in a typeface,

:55:12. > :55:23.and choosing the right one is more Choose the wrong one, and,

:55:24. > :55:26.well, it's just wrong. Two types in particular

:55:27. > :55:28.are all around us. We are so used to them,

:55:29. > :55:31.we may not even notice them, Edward Johnston was commissioned

:55:32. > :55:39.to solve a problem caused by the growth of what became London

:55:40. > :55:42.Underground. In the early 1900s, stations

:55:43. > :55:46.were awash with advertising, and the station signs

:55:47. > :55:47.were inconsistent. Frank Pick was brought in to bring

:55:48. > :55:55.order to the Underground, and he commissioned calligrapher

:55:56. > :55:59.Edward Johnston to create a radically new, clear

:56:00. > :56:02.type that would be used Author and presenter Mark Ovenden

:56:03. > :56:07.explains the impact this had. Thanks to Frank Pick's vision

:56:08. > :56:09.and Edward Johnston's style, transport in London now

:56:10. > :56:14.has its own brand. The signage stood out

:56:15. > :56:21.from the rest of the graphic noise, to form a clear

:56:22. > :56:27.and concise wayfinding system. Such was the success of this

:56:28. > :56:29.new Johnston typeface, other transport companies wanted

:56:30. > :56:31.a similar, clear look. But London Underground owned and

:56:32. > :56:34.guarded Johnston for its own use. To meet the demand, a commercial

:56:35. > :56:37.printing company, Monotype, commissioned Eric Gill,

:56:38. > :56:41.a controversial sculptor and calligrapher,

:56:42. > :56:45.a similar, clear typeface. This is the original, first,

:56:46. > :56:49.hand-drawn Gill alphabet. It proved a huge commercial

:56:50. > :56:53.success, and was adopted And when the war came,

:56:54. > :56:57.most printers had Gill Sans, so the typeface was used

:56:58. > :57:00.for everything, from ration books After the war, Gill Sans,

:57:01. > :57:06.the typeface of authority, gradually fell out of fashion,

:57:07. > :57:09.until a British designer working I didn't realise that it had fallen

:57:10. > :57:17.out of fashion, to be honest. I just thought it was

:57:18. > :57:20.a great, legible typeface. The UK's newest TV

:57:21. > :57:25.channel adopted it. London Transport had started

:57:26. > :57:34.using other typefaces, It needed an upgrade,

:57:35. > :57:39.which is exactly what happened. 100 years after these

:57:40. > :57:42.typefaces were first created, they are still in use,

:57:43. > :57:48.updated and adapted. They remain the quintessentially

:57:49. > :57:50.British typefaces, that are set to keep evolving,

:57:51. > :57:53.and be part of the look of Britain Mark Ovenden is a typography expert

:57:54. > :58:10.and presents tonight's documentary. Good morning to you. This is the

:58:11. > :58:14.stuff that you know about, and I feel like I'm on such a learning

:58:15. > :58:18.curve with this! The moment you start talking about the way words

:58:19. > :58:23.look, it is compelling, isn't it? It turns out, it is really interesting,

:58:24. > :58:28.about the typeface. Because the way the type is chosen Kerry is the

:58:29. > :58:31.emotional value of the word. So that could be from something you want to

:58:32. > :58:36.look serious, or something which you want to look artistic, or it just

:58:37. > :58:41.sends a message out? Because there are thousands of typefaces, some of

:58:42. > :58:45.them are curly and frivolous, others are stern and four. The typeface you

:58:46. > :58:49.choose is absolutely crucial, because we don't necessarily read

:58:50. > :58:53.every single letter or word when we first see it. It helps to understand

:58:54. > :58:57.what the emotional value of that word is, because of the typeface. It

:58:58. > :59:04.is very interesting, in the documentary tonight you look at how

:59:05. > :59:08.typefaces developed and how we ended up gravitating towards two main

:59:09. > :59:10.ones. Also, we had a long conversation in the newsroom this

:59:11. > :59:18.morning about the difference between typeface and font, which you explain

:59:19. > :59:23.in the programme... Typefaces nowadays are usually, and wrongly

:59:24. > :59:26.referred to as fonts. A font depicts the size and weight of letters,

:59:27. > :59:32.whereas the typeface is the important bit... Letter design.

:59:33. > :59:35.Choosing the right typeface for text is more important than you might

:59:36. > :59:43.think, because how lettering looks can raise the emotion of the word.

:59:44. > :59:46.Imagine how differently we might perceive all sorts of important

:59:47. > :59:55.messages and brands if they were in the wrong typeface.

:59:56. > :00:11.tell me we put the words together, breakfast. To me, that is just

:00:12. > :00:16.boring. What is that? It does look quite relaxed, but it doesn't convey

:00:17. > :00:29.enough about what the programme is. Old-fashioned, it feels. Do you like

:00:30. > :00:34.that one? I am going back to 70s, children's television from a long

:00:35. > :00:39.time ago. It is interesting that the shape of those letters makes you

:00:40. > :00:46.think about that time period. This one seems a bit unfriendly, a bit

:00:47. > :00:55.formal, maybe? A bit boring. We're not a fan of that one. This, olde

:00:56. > :01:04.worlde breakfast? Yes, 1900s. Medieval text, of old England. Yes,

:01:05. > :01:20.the pointy bits on the end of the letters. Do you want to see the last

:01:21. > :01:26.one? Go on. It looks quite formal and neat and tidy, it tells you what

:01:27. > :01:31.the programme is. It is fuzzy and looks like a hangover breakfast. But

:01:32. > :01:36.we don't get a lot of choice in this. Most of the stuff we read is

:01:37. > :01:43.all one style, is there an accepted wisdom that one is the right way to

:01:44. > :01:49.do it? When you are at your computer and you have the drop-down menu we

:01:50. > :01:53.just saw in the clip, you have a choice of thousands of typefaces, if

:01:54. > :01:56.you are trying to do something for the Church notice board or a lost

:01:57. > :02:03.cat, make sure you pick the right typeface. Times new Roman, is that

:02:04. > :02:11.the most common one or is it aerial, because they are both different.

:02:12. > :02:16.Aerial is very smooth and clear, my favourite. The one we use here at

:02:17. > :02:20.the BBC is Gill Sans, that has been around for 90 years and that is why

:02:21. > :02:25.we are doing a programme about it. It looks very neat and tidy and the

:02:26. > :02:29.same with the Johnson typeface that was used on the London Underground.

:02:30. > :02:34.The London Underground was in MS and they needed to make it clearer and

:02:35. > :02:42.easier to find your way around. So your name there, what is that one?

:02:43. > :02:48.It is Gill Sans. Regular, if you had a choice would you go for something

:02:49. > :02:54.more creative? It depends on what you are trying to convey, if you are

:02:55. > :02:57.at the end of your document, you might want to be a bit more

:02:58. > :03:02.frivolous, but if you are doing an important programme like this, then

:03:03. > :03:09.Gill Sans is great. Thanks for the condiment. Good to see you.

:03:10. > :03:22.The vamps will be rivers of the sofa in a moment. That'll probably be in

:03:23. > :05:07.big letters. Before then, a last look

:05:08. > :05:11.In 2012 they formed as a band and were uploading covers

:05:12. > :05:15.Fast forward five years and The Vamps fourth album knocked

:05:16. > :05:20.Ed Sheeran off the number one spot earlier this month.

:05:21. > :05:32.We'll speak to Brad, Connor, James and Tristan in a moment,

:05:33. > :05:43.Good morning all. How are you. You look very bright and sparkly this

:05:44. > :05:49.morning? We should explain you were on stage last night. It was raining

:05:50. > :05:52.and then we went on stage and the sun came out. We will talk about the

:05:53. > :05:55.festival thing in a minute. but first let's take a look

:05:56. > :05:59.at their latest single. # So when I call you in

:06:00. > :06:03.the middle of the night # And I'm choking on the words

:06:04. > :06:29.'cause I miss you # In the middle of the night.

:06:30. > :06:33.# I need you. # So when I call you in the middle

:06:34. > :06:36.of the night. # And I am choking on the words

:06:37. > :06:47.because I miss you. # In the middle of the night.

:06:48. > :07:06.# I need you. Listening to you guys, sometimes we

:07:07. > :07:14.have artists sitting here and they are watching themselves, and they

:07:15. > :07:20.are anxious. But you look so relax. We have come to terms with it, it is

:07:21. > :07:25.good to see your music out there. It is a cool situation. Tell us about

:07:26. > :07:30.this album, how did it happen? We took time specifically on the

:07:31. > :07:35.lyrics. It is quite different to this album. The first and second

:07:36. > :07:40.were less focused on the lyrics and I guess we were less passionate. But

:07:41. > :07:45.we have more passion about this album, we have been working on it

:07:46. > :07:50.for two years. We are very proud of it and it was amazing it went...

:07:51. > :07:55.What is different about this album for your fans, if you are more

:07:56. > :08:01.passionate and spend more time writing it? When we made our first

:08:02. > :08:05.album in the 16, 17-year-old boys. Now we are in our 20s, fans,

:08:06. > :08:10.hopefully we'll see the gradual progression, with music, but also as

:08:11. > :08:14.people, we have done a couple of world tours since the first and

:08:15. > :08:19.second album and hopefully that is reflected in the album. You have got

:08:20. > :08:23.to be careful when you are moving on as to whether or not he'd keep your

:08:24. > :08:31.fans with you and attract new fans as well? It is very important to

:08:32. > :08:37.appeal to the fans that were with us on the first album. We want to

:08:38. > :08:43.expand, like any band. Get an older fan base and a younger fan base than

:08:44. > :08:47.we have. When we played the festival yesterday, we never saw so many dads

:08:48. > :08:54.in this audience. It is funny, there is more people that wouldn't have

:08:55. > :09:05.been a fan of The Vamps that are now. Bad dad dancing? There was a

:09:06. > :09:12.man in a pink bob. Like a wig? Yes, he just had a beer in his hand. I

:09:13. > :09:15.imagine that might be quite nice, when you see someone just letting go

:09:16. > :09:25.at a festival and they don't really care. I think we do the same thing

:09:26. > :09:34.if we go to a festival. You were outshone? Carol Walker sang Queen

:09:35. > :09:46.song with Rick Astley, but there is no footage of it. She was there. We

:09:47. > :09:50.need some evidence of it. We haven't any evidence, but we were told it

:09:51. > :09:58.did happen. We have the older side of the band over here. Like, six

:09:59. > :10:02.months. You are saying you were only 16 when you started out so did you

:10:03. > :10:08.miss out on the festival thing because a lot of people that age

:10:09. > :10:13.would be going to lots festivals after their GCSEs, did you miss out

:10:14. > :10:20.on that we are busy working? We live fulfilled teenage life, we we got to

:10:21. > :10:23.do things that we always dream doll. Passchendaele We still managed to

:10:24. > :10:27.get those normal things in, but I think we are so grateful and so

:10:28. > :10:31.Lucky for the opportunities we have had so far in our lives. If it all

:10:32. > :10:38.ended tomorrow, we would know we have had a good time. One day you

:10:39. > :10:42.are there as a phone, I know you have played Reading, but soon after

:10:43. > :10:46.you are playing festivals and on the stage. It is cool, we get to play

:10:47. > :10:53.the festival is that we would go to anyway and we get free passes for

:10:54. > :10:58.families. Good car parking. Now you are starting to sound middle age.

:10:59. > :11:02.This is a distraction tactic. Reading the research notes, you guys

:11:03. > :11:10.don't always behave like your tour manager would like you to behave!

:11:11. > :11:14.Getting lost in Peru? I was the most lost temporary because I went out

:11:15. > :11:19.for a day trip with our videographer and we ended up in the shanty hills

:11:20. > :11:25.operate and we were chased by a pack of wild dogs. It was terrifying.

:11:26. > :11:32.Learned their lesson, do what are your tour manager says, stay in your

:11:33. > :11:35.hotel and go to bed early. Some people say that when artists are on

:11:36. > :11:39.tour, they don't get to see the places they go to. But you are

:11:40. > :11:46.young, you want to see things, hotel, to a gig and then leaving.

:11:47. > :11:49.Did you get much chance to do that? We do, we were noticing, I was

:11:50. > :11:54.coming home and chatting to my mates and they would ask, what was Brazil

:11:55. > :11:59.like? And I didn't know because I didn't go out. But as we have got

:12:00. > :12:09.older, it is nice to take in the cities we go to because we go to

:12:10. > :12:14.some beautiful places. Are The Vamps big in Brazil? The first time ever,

:12:15. > :12:20.we played an arena in Argentina. It was mental, followed by a lovely

:12:21. > :12:24.steak and red wine. But this is crazy going to these places, the

:12:25. > :12:32.Internet, it is such a powerful platform, it is international. It

:12:33. > :12:36.gives The Vamps an advantage. When we introduced you, we were saying

:12:37. > :12:41.you knocks at Ed Sheeran of the number one spot, who you know. You

:12:42. > :12:45.have worked with people like Taylor Swift and supported Taylor Swift.

:12:46. > :12:52.Who is on the wish list to kind of collaborate with in the future? Can

:12:53. > :12:56.you give a hint to fans? As of now, we are just wanting to do our own

:12:57. > :13:03.thing. But we would love to work with Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Chain

:13:04. > :13:11.Smokers would be amazing and Coldplay. When you knock Ed Sheeran

:13:12. > :13:16.of number one spot, does a phone call happen? He doesn't call any

:13:17. > :13:22.more, doesn't text! I think he is quite happy after being there for 13

:13:23. > :13:27.weeks. He was quite happy. He was there long enough. It is a credit to

:13:28. > :13:32.our fans that got us to the number one spot. It was a battle to get him

:13:33. > :13:48.of that number one. Lovely to see you. Are you call the Vamily. The

:13:49. > :13:55.album is called Night And Day. Thank you very much. Now it

:13:56. > :13:59.Summer is here and Ben and I are back.

:14:00. > :14:04.And our team have been working round the clock
