:01:37. > :01:46.Good morning from the roof of Broadcasting House in London, where

:01:47. > :01:50.we have got some blue sky. The forecast, though, for today, is for

:01:51. > :01:55.some showers, some of them heavy and slow-moving but in between there

:01:56. > :01:57.could be sunshine. It could stay dry in the south-east. I will have more

:01:58. > :01:58.in 15 minutes. First, our main story:

:01:59. > :02:01.The White House communications director, Anthony Scaramucci,

:02:02. > :02:03.has been fired less than two weeks after his appointment,

:02:04. > :02:05.in the latest high-profile departure His sacking was the first decision

:02:48. > :02:58.of then-chief of staff Reince Priebus,

:02:59. > :03:01.it was Sean Spicer who was the first to go, resigning in protest

:03:02. > :03:04.at the man called 'Mooch.' You know, one of the things I can't

:03:05. > :03:15.stand about this town Where I grew up, in

:03:16. > :03:19.the neighbourhood I grow up, The self-proclaimed outsider took it

:03:20. > :03:24.too far, launching into a tirade of obscenities to a journalist,

:03:25. > :03:26.accidentally on the record, Scaramucci seemed to have won

:03:27. > :03:37.when Reince Priebus resigned. But a new-new sheriff was in town,

:03:56. > :03:57.the Mooch was escorted Donald Trump has been in office

:03:58. > :04:01.for nearly six months, but his presidency has been plagued

:04:02. > :04:03.by chaos and controversy. From multiple investigations

:04:04. > :04:06.into his campaign's connections with Russia, to constant staffing

:04:07. > :04:11.shake-ups at the White House. But, with a four-star

:04:12. > :04:16.general at the helm, the administration

:04:17. > :04:18.is hoping that it will be smoother Internet giants such as Google,

:04:19. > :04:23.Facebook, Twitter and Microsoft have been told they must do more

:04:24. > :04:26.to tackle online extremism. Following a meeting

:04:27. > :04:28.with the companies, the Home Secretary, Amber Rudd,

:04:29. > :04:31.said they needed to invest more and work together in

:04:32. > :04:33.order to stop the spread But there are worries

:04:34. > :04:36.the privacy of ordinary users Our North America technology

:04:37. > :04:43.reporter Dave Lee reports. Terror on the streets of the UK.

:04:44. > :04:46.Organised, police say, with the help of social media. So companies here

:04:47. > :04:51.in Silicon Valley are being told they must do more to prevent the

:04:52. > :04:55.spread of extremist content online. What I need them to acknowledge is

:04:56. > :04:59.that the enemy, who is really trying to move swiftly online, to

:05:00. > :05:03.radicalise people in their own homes, are really stepping their

:05:04. > :05:07.game up, and we need our response stepped up as well. And there is

:05:08. > :05:12.also concerned the new measures might mean a loss of privacy for all

:05:13. > :05:15.of us. It is not possible to say we are going to monitor all

:05:16. > :05:19.communications on our platforms, but still preserve users' privacy. We

:05:20. > :05:24.might attempt to minimise the impact on users' by the sea, but you are

:05:25. > :05:29.certainly going to be... It is not going to be as private as it was

:05:30. > :05:33.before. They have to face up, people who might oppose this, to what our

:05:34. > :05:37.enemy is trying to do. They are trying to weaponise people at home.

:05:38. > :05:41.Vulnerable people, trying to turn them into terrorists. And what

:05:42. > :05:46.happens is, when this material goes online, it is circulated really

:05:47. > :05:49.fast. Another worry, as security experts will tell you, is that

:05:50. > :05:50.terrorists could simply move to harder to reach parts of the

:05:51. > :05:51.internet. Patients with pancreatic cancer

:05:52. > :05:54.are being operated on in just two weeks, instead of two months,

:05:55. > :05:56.after being diagnosed. Research published in the medical

:05:57. > :05:59.journal HPB says early surgery increases patients' chances

:06:00. > :06:01.of having their tumours Doctors in Birmingham

:06:02. > :06:03.hope their approach will Kate Rigby was amazed at how

:06:04. > :06:16.smoothly the NHS worked when she was diagnosed

:06:17. > :06:19.with pancreatic cancer. Within seven days, she had had

:06:20. > :06:22.surgery at the Queen Elizabeth I can't control NHS budget,

:06:23. > :06:40.and all the other things for the poor people

:06:41. > :06:43.who aren't as lucky as me. Normally, people with jaundice

:06:44. > :06:49.like Mrs Rigby have a stent put in to relieve symptoms,

:06:50. > :06:51.which delays the main operation. A nurse was employed to speed up

:06:52. > :06:58.treatment from two months to 16 days, meaning a fifth more

:06:59. > :07:00.patients were able to Cutting out the step also said

:07:01. > :07:09.the NHS ?3,200 per patient. We save the NHS potentially ?200,000

:07:10. > :07:12.per year, with the number of patients that have

:07:13. > :07:15.surgery in our team. And so that, then, is a reproducible

:07:16. > :07:18.model, that other units up and down Pancreatic cancer has

:07:19. > :07:23.a very low survival rate. It will be two years before doctors

:07:24. > :07:26.can say whether treating patients more

:07:27. > :07:27.quickly actually means And, if they do, that will beg

:07:28. > :07:35.the question as to whether or not other aggressive cancers should be

:07:36. > :07:38.treated more quickly. For now, Kate Rigby knows

:07:39. > :07:41.that she has been given the best chance possible to survive

:07:42. > :07:42.pancreatic cancer. From today, babies born in England,

:07:43. > :07:47.Wales and Northern Ireland are to be offered a new vaccine which protects

:07:48. > :07:50.against hepatitis B. The hexavalent vaccine will also

:07:51. > :07:52.immunise against five other diseases including polio, tetanus

:08:00. > :08:09.at a jail in Hertfordshire, after reports of a riot breaking

:08:10. > :08:12.out across two wings. Police armed with riot gear

:08:13. > :08:15.were sent to Mount prison, The Ministry of Justice says

:08:16. > :08:31.order has been restored Prison staff, known as the Tornado

:08:32. > :08:36.squad, trained to deal with disturbances, entered HMP the Mount

:08:37. > :08:47.prison yesterday morning. They could be seen carrying shields and batons.

:08:48. > :08:50.Two wings of the prison were said to be no longer in control of guards.

:08:51. > :08:54.From outside the walls of the prison, shouting could be heard,

:08:55. > :08:58.along with what sounded like stun grenades. Late last night, the

:08:59. > :09:05.Ministry of Justice said the trouble had ended, and no staff or prisoners

:09:06. > :09:08.were injured. A report by the prison's independent monitoring

:09:09. > :09:12.board, released yesterday morning, warned staff shortages were adding

:09:13. > :09:16.to problems and mounting violence in the jail. While the prison officers'

:09:17. > :09:23.Association said staff shortages were a neck and epidemic, partly due

:09:24. > :09:25.to poor salaries -- were an academic.

:09:53. > :09:56.The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health is also calling

:09:57. > :09:57.on ministers to legislate for breast-feeding breaks

:09:58. > :10:02.The college says Britain has one of the lowest rates

:10:03. > :10:09.of breast-feeding in Europe, blaming social stigma for the trend.

:10:10. > :10:13.More needs to be done to stop women being forced to wear high heels

:10:14. > :10:15.at work, according to scientists at the University of Aberdeen.

:10:16. > :10:18.Academics looked at the physical and social impact of wearing

:10:39. > :10:42.The car was submerged after a dry creek bed was engulfed

:10:43. > :10:48.Rescuers had to use a crane to get to the car, before Petey was handed

:10:49. > :10:50.over by his owner, who then climbed out.

:10:51. > :10:52.The pair could then walk across the crane to safety

:10:53. > :11:15.The love of a dog. All safe and well. I assume the dog's name is not

:11:16. > :11:24.Petey the pooch. Should we doublecheck? Why are you asking me?

:11:25. > :11:39.You just read it out. Surely your script is right. But I think it is

:11:40. > :11:43.Petey,,, the pooch. I cannot wait to tell you about a story we have

:11:44. > :11:48.coming up in a little while about Barry the Shetland pony. We have

:11:49. > :11:57.Petey the pooch and Barry the Shetland pony. More on that in a

:11:58. > :12:01.moment. We will start with a great day for Moeen Ali, who was recently

:12:02. > :12:04.described as a batsman who can bowl a bit. Not the biggest complement in

:12:05. > :12:05.the world, and they proved him wrong yesterday.

:12:06. > :12:08.England's cricketers have gone 2-1 up in the Test series

:12:09. > :12:10.against South Africa, after a dramatic final day

:12:11. > :12:14.With the hosts needing six wickets, Toby Roland-Jones took two in two

:12:15. > :12:17.balls before lunch, while Moeen Ali went one better,

:12:18. > :12:21.his hat-trick sealing a 239-run victory.

:12:22. > :12:23.David Rudisha, the world and Olympic 800m champion,

:12:24. > :12:25.will miss this month's World Athletics Championships.

:12:26. > :12:27.Rudisha won the world title in Beijing two years ago,

:12:28. > :12:35.and broke the world record in London in 2012.

:12:36. > :12:38.And Jose Mourinho has made his third big summer signing at Manchester

:12:39. > :12:42.Nemanja Matic, a player he signed for Chelsea three years ago,

:12:43. > :12:49.has moved to Old Trafford for a fee of around ?40 million.

:12:50. > :12:57.Ronaldo has appeared in court in Spain, facing allegations of tax

:12:58. > :13:03.evasion. He is accused of evading just over ?30 million. He said he

:13:04. > :13:04.never had any intentions of evading paying his taxes.

:13:05. > :13:07.The deal is done for Los Angeles to host the Olympics

:13:08. > :13:12.It means the Games will be staged in Paris in seven years' time.

:13:13. > :13:16.The two cities had been competing to host the event in 2024,

:13:17. > :13:19.The International Olympics Committee have welcomed the move,

:13:20. > :13:28.and have pledged ?1.4 billion to LA's organising committee.

:13:29. > :13:36.The Olympic Games are going back to Hollywood. When is Barry coming?

:13:37. > :13:42.Barry is coming during the papers in a few minutes' time. First we must

:13:43. > :13:46.get the weather. There could be some thunderstorms around today. You are

:13:47. > :13:51.outside on the roof of new Broadcasting House. That's right. It

:13:52. > :13:56.is lovely out here this morning, as well. It is not too cold, there is a

:13:57. > :14:00.gentle breeze. The sun is out, we have blue skies but the weather

:14:01. > :14:03.forecast for many is one of sunshine, but they will also be some

:14:04. > :14:07.heavy showers in there and as you rightly said, some of those will be

:14:08. > :14:11.thundery with some hail mixed in. Not all of us will see them. We take

:14:12. > :14:15.a look around the country at our charts and we have some showers

:14:16. > :14:18.already this morning. If we start at 9am in Scotland we have some

:14:19. > :14:23.showers, some heavy, just north of the central belt at the moment.

:14:24. > :14:27.There are one or two across southern Scotland as well, but equally a lot

:14:28. > :14:32.of dry weather with temperatures at 9am around 13 degrees in Edinburgh.

:14:33. > :14:36.For north-east England we have some heavy showers, of those merging.

:14:37. > :14:41.Some quite large totals in the next six hours or so, north-east England

:14:42. > :14:46.off to a drier and brighter start. As we move into East Anglia, Essex,

:14:47. > :14:52.Kent, all the way down into the Isle of Wight, a bright start some sunny

:14:53. > :14:54.skies. That continues as we head towards Dorset, Gloucestershire, and

:14:55. > :15:00.into the south-east of England we are looking at one or two showers.

:15:01. > :15:03.But most of us starting on a dry note. For Wales, you have more

:15:04. > :15:07.showers, some of them merging in the same way they are across north-west

:15:08. > :15:10.England. So we could see some large rainfall totals and as we look

:15:11. > :15:14.across the Irish Sea into Northern Ireland, it is the west which will

:15:15. > :15:18.see some showers. The East mostly dry and bright. As we go through the

:15:19. > :15:23.course of the day, you will find a lot of further showers will develop.

:15:24. > :15:27.Some of them, as you rightly said, will be heavy and thundery with some

:15:28. > :15:31.hail. Especially as we take a line from south Wales towards the Wash

:15:32. > :15:35.northwards. Parts of the south-east could mist them all together and

:15:36. > :15:40.stay dry and in the sunshine it could feel quite pleasant. Hiser to

:15:41. > :15:43.23 here. As we head into the evening and overnight, many of the showers

:15:44. > :15:47.will die away. There will be a few left, but through the night we will

:15:48. > :15:50.see the cloud built across south-west England and south Wales,

:15:51. > :15:54.and some showers arrive. And then later we will have some rain coming

:15:55. > :15:59.in. It will be a chilly night across the northern half of Scotland in

:16:00. > :16:03.rural areas, with single figure temperatures, we are looking at. So

:16:04. > :16:07.tomorrow we start off on a dry note in central and eastern areas, with

:16:08. > :16:10.some sunshine, but the cloud will encroach with some showers ahead of

:16:11. > :16:14.that band of rain, spreading out across the South Coast, the

:16:15. > :16:17.south-west and Wales. It will be heavy and persistent and will move

:16:18. > :16:21.north eastwards through the course of the day, the company by windy

:16:22. > :16:26.conditions across south-west, England, and South Wales. Overnight

:16:27. > :16:29.that clears away so by the time we get to Thursday there will be a curl

:16:30. > :16:34.of rain coming in across northern and western Scotland, and parts of

:16:35. > :16:38.northern England as well. Away from that we are looking at a fair bit of

:16:39. > :16:43.dry weather and breezy conditions, and also some sunshine. Temperatures

:16:44. > :16:46.again up to the low 20s at best. So, although there is some rain and also

:16:47. > :16:50.some showers in the forecast, there is also going to be affected of dry

:16:51. > :16:54.weather and some sunshine. But, as we head towards the end of the week

:16:55. > :16:58.we are back into the showers, so changeable.

:16:59. > :17:06.At least it's lovely where you are, you don't want a shower today, do

:17:07. > :17:11.you? Absolutely, not like this. Thanks, Kate. Let's look through

:17:12. > :17:16.some of the papers. Sally is here. The front page of the Guardian, a

:17:17. > :17:21.lot of interest, we will talk about this through the morning, you may

:17:22. > :17:24.have heard of Anthony Scaramucci and in the short time he was White House

:17:25. > :17:29.communications director it would be fair to say he made quite a stir but

:17:30. > :17:35.he's gone already. I don't even think he officially had his job.

:17:36. > :17:38.Nine or ten days he has been addressing the press, now he's gone

:17:39. > :17:41.and question marks over what's going on with the Trump administration and

:17:42. > :17:48.we will talk about that more later. That's on the front page of the

:17:49. > :17:55.Daily Telegraph as well. Its lead story is Statins are needlessly

:17:56. > :18:00.being doled out to millions, it's due to people's age, the Royal

:18:01. > :18:06.College of GPs has called. The college has called to an end of the

:18:07. > :18:12.blanket doling out of Statins. The Trump story on the front page of the

:18:13. > :18:18.Times. Passengers enjoying waits of up to four hours on arrival at

:18:19. > :18:23.European airports -- injuring. Sean, you have a story that ties into some

:18:24. > :18:28.of the trauma? We talked about it a few weeks ago. On the front page of

:18:29. > :18:34.the papers yesterday as well we saw it. Car hire. Generally it's been

:18:35. > :18:36.making headlines lately. The Daily Mail is continuing their

:18:37. > :18:41.investigation by saying car hire sharks have been caught red-handed.

:18:42. > :18:45.A few issues people might be familiar with, paying the excess

:18:46. > :18:49.waiver at the desk. You arrive and they say you can't take the car

:18:50. > :18:54.until you have paid extra. You don't have to do that but people feel

:18:55. > :19:01.pressured to do that a. Fuel options as well, do you have to pay to leave

:19:02. > :19:04.it filled up or bring it back half empty? On this investigation the

:19:05. > :19:07.companies say they dealt with the individual issues. We will talk

:19:08. > :19:12.about this more in half an hour so if anyone has had any issues then

:19:13. > :19:17.let us know. Lot of headlines over the last few days.

:19:18. > :19:20.In the Daily Mail we have this story about Rory McIlroy, this came out

:19:21. > :19:25.yesterday but it hasn't quite been confirmed that he is parting ways

:19:26. > :19:30.with his caddie of many years, JP Fitzgerald, they have done a list of

:19:31. > :19:34.the highs and lows of Rory and JP and it's only a couple of weeks ago

:19:35. > :19:39.at the Open that he credited JP with having a word with him and saying

:19:40. > :19:43.remember who you are, you are Rory McIlroy. If that is official today

:19:44. > :19:50.that will be interesting. There's been a lot of speculation about

:19:51. > :19:54.whether he would stay on the bag because Rory hasn't been performing

:19:55. > :19:57.well. And who he would go for instead? May be someone from a

:19:58. > :20:00.different stable in terms of how they look at caddying. I promised

:20:01. > :20:06.you Barry, Barry the Shetland pony. It's not a story about Barry but

:20:07. > :20:11.it's about this young man here, Rocco Dettori, 12, who raced

:20:16. > :20:21.Frankie's son, Frankie said he didn't want him to be a jockey but

:20:22. > :20:24.this child is throwing such promise and determination, Frankie Dettori

:20:25. > :20:30.saying he only has to ride for four years and then they can race against

:20:31. > :20:33.each other -- showing. I didn't know that they did Shetland pony racing?

:20:34. > :20:38.You have seen the Shetland pony Grand National? We have read that

:20:39. > :20:42.script on the programme. I don't remember that at all. The Shetland

:20:43. > :20:47.pony Grand National. One of the highlights of my year. Did Mike

:20:48. > :20:52.Bushell compete in it? No, I don't thing he would be allowed. They

:20:53. > :20:57.don't have his size horse, it would be more like the Shetland pony. He

:20:58. > :21:03.is scared with horses, he has had a few dodgy experiences with horses.

:21:04. > :21:07.The Usain Bolt documentary was on last night and as the excitement

:21:08. > :21:12.builds, is he already here, is here in the UK? You reminded me of

:21:13. > :21:17.something I have in the Guardian and here's a man who wants to spoil his

:21:18. > :21:23.party, he is hoping to race in the 100th is and he is saying, Ujah, he

:21:24. > :21:27.is saying the world athletics Championships won't be a retirement

:21:28. > :21:32.party for him, he wants to spoil his fun. Does he have the numbers to

:21:33. > :21:37.back that up? Nearly! Apparently when Usain Bolt raced in Monaco the

:21:38. > :21:41.last time they got all the athletes out half an hour before they needed

:21:42. > :21:46.to to whip up the crowd because he makes the atmosphere change in a

:21:47. > :21:49.stadium. It will be his last appearance in London as well! Thanks

:21:50. > :22:02.very much. From today's people studying to be

:22:03. > :22:05.in as is and midwives will no longer get bursaries.

:22:06. > :22:08.The promise comes at a time when applications for these

:22:09. > :22:11.From today, some degrees will no longer receive NHS bursaries.

:22:12. > :22:14.Instead, they will have to apply for student loans.

:22:15. > :22:16.Breakfast's John Maguire has discovered there is concern

:22:17. > :22:20.that the move will stop mature students from retraining.

:22:21. > :22:27.We get rid of that and you've now got what? These second year nursing

:22:28. > :22:31.students are getting their first look at the a knack to marsh table

:22:32. > :22:38.using the latest technology to take a 3-D trip through a virtual human

:22:39. > :22:42.body. The degree course at the university of Central Lancashire is

:22:43. > :22:47.funded by NHS bursaries and grants, but as of today applicants wanting

:22:48. > :22:51.to study nursing, midwifery and other medical courses will need a

:22:52. > :22:56.student loan in line with other undergraduates. So would it have

:22:57. > :22:59.deterred these students? I don't think it would have made a

:23:00. > :23:04.difference to myself because I really wanted to become a nurse and

:23:05. > :23:08.although the financial implications of not having a bursary would have

:23:09. > :23:16.impacted on me quite heavily, but I could have managed and my desire to

:23:17. > :23:22.become a nurse has overridden those. But applications for these courses

:23:23. > :23:25.have fallen by around 20%. Theories include doubts from European

:23:26. > :23:30.students about Brexit. A birthrate decline in the number of 18

:23:31. > :23:34.-year-olds as well as concerns about the change in financing. The

:23:35. > :23:38.universities, though, are determined to see the numbers recover and here

:23:39. > :23:42.there's cautious optimism. We have seen a decline in the number of

:23:43. > :23:46.applications coming through, but they're good quality and so the key

:23:47. > :23:53.thing is that they convert into the numbers that we have. So I'm very

:23:54. > :23:58.positive at this moment in time that we will recruit to target. One of

:23:59. > :24:03.the main areas of concern is the impact on mature students. Nursing

:24:04. > :24:06.and midwifery attract a much higher percentage of older applicants than

:24:07. > :24:12.other degree courses and their life experience is seen as a vital part

:24:13. > :24:17.of the mix on a ward. Sarah Cordy says a loan instead of a

:24:18. > :24:20.bursary would have stopped her changing career to become a midwife.

:24:21. > :24:25.To saddle students with a huge amount of debt when they are only

:24:26. > :24:29.ever able to earn what the government dictates they can earn,

:24:30. > :24:33.it doesn't seem to make sense to me and had I been making this decision

:24:34. > :24:37.now knowing that I would have to take on the debt, I couldn't have

:24:38. > :24:41.done it, no. The government argues that the cap on student places had

:24:42. > :24:46.previously restricted numbers and that changing the funding will lead

:24:47. > :24:51.to an increase in around 10,000 applicants. But Les Green says he

:24:52. > :25:00.now can't afford to pursue his dream job.

:25:01. > :25:06.I'm 41 so I would be paying that... ?30,000, I'll be paying back until I

:25:07. > :25:10.finish probably my... Until I'm burning my pension. I don't think

:25:11. > :25:15.I'd ever play that off, I'd play it until the rest of my career and

:25:16. > :25:19.beyond. All signs agree that the NHS is in dire need of more clinical

:25:20. > :25:22.staff but the debate centres on how to pay for them. John Maguire, BBC

:30:13. > :30:14.director, Anthony Scaramucci, has been fired, less than two weeks

:30:15. > :30:17.after his appointment. In the latest high-profile departure

:30:18. > :30:19.from Donald Trump's top team, the new chief of staff, John Kelly,

:30:20. > :30:23.asked Mr Scaramucci to step aside. The former banker made headlines

:30:24. > :30:26.when derogatory comments he made about General Kelly's

:30:27. > :30:41.predecessor were made public. The President certainly felt that

:30:42. > :30:44.Anthony's comments were inappropriate for a person in that

:30:45. > :30:51.position, and he didn't want to burden General Kelly, also, with

:30:52. > :30:56.that line of succession. As I think we have made clear a few times over

:30:57. > :30:59.the course of the last couple of days to several of you individually,

:31:00. > :31:03.but General Kelly has the full authority to operate in the White

:33:54. > :33:56.Where should they be putting him? He showed the sort of form yesterday

:33:57. > :34:01.which suggests he should be higher up the order all the time. He is a

:34:31. > :34:32.England victorious by 239 runs, a vast improvement

:34:33. > :34:34.upon their disastrous Trent Bridge performance,

:34:43. > :34:49.You are going to be upset, because you don't want to hear it, but we

:34:50. > :34:53.all know that wasn't a good enough performance for an England team, and

:34:54. > :34:57.it would have been very easy to sulk and moan about it. The guys stepped

:34:58. > :35:01.up and made sure they put in a really good performance here. And I

:35:02. > :35:05.think now it is all about trying to go on further than we have done this

:35:06. > :35:06.week, and make sure that we finish the series strong in Manchester.

:35:07. > :35:09.The deal is done for Los Angeles to host the 2028 Olympic

:35:55. > :36:14.We've seen progress, and yes, some of that -

:36:15. > :36:16.on some occasions, some of that progress has

:36:17. > :36:19.been quicker than on other occasions.

:36:20. > :36:22.And it tended to speed up a little bit when there's been

:36:23. > :36:24.a focus normally around the major championships.

:36:25. > :36:28.So it's not that there isn't any progress, but the progress we want

:36:29. > :36:31.has to culminate in a meeting of those criteria, and it's

:37:07. > :37:08.Liverpool's biggest independent supporters group has voted

:37:09. > :37:10.overwhelmingly in favour of the safe standing at Premier League grounds.

:37:11. > :37:14.The Premier League wrote to its 20 clubs last month to assess

:37:15. > :37:16.whether they would be interested in staging trials.

:37:17. > :37:18.It follows Celtic's decision to introduce around 3,000 rail

:37:19. > :37:26.The question of safe standing at stadiums has been on the agenda

:37:27. > :37:28.after Lord Justice Taylor's inquiry into the 1989 Hillsborough disaster,

:38:03. > :38:04.Now, finally, being a football manager is a precarious occupation.

:38:05. > :38:07.If you don't get the results, more often than not,

:38:08. > :38:12.Obviously most top managers get a big pay-off if they get sacked.

:38:13. > :38:15.But, if ever Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp falls on hard times,

:38:16. > :38:18.we reckon he could make a living as a sound engineer.

:38:19. > :38:22.He came to Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone's rescue in a press

:38:36. > :38:39.plugged in, sometimes there is a sound man or woman who comes along

:38:40. > :38:45.and fiddles with a wire, and winds us up. And Jurgen has the job. I

:40:20. > :40:24.out what is happening with the weather. It seems as if there will

:40:25. > :40:28.be some storms kicking off in the skies. Well, there will be some

:40:29. > :40:32.heavy showers. In Morcombe there has been 12 millimetres of rainfall. If

:40:33. > :40:38.you are thinking is this ever going to stop? Intensity should ease off

:40:39. > :40:42.in the next or so. Wales seems heavy downpours, but here on the

:40:43. > :40:46.Broadcasting House in London it is pleasant. We have a son, blue skies

:40:47. > :40:51.and it feels quite pleasant the warm as well. Through the day to day, the

:40:52. > :40:55.forecast for us all is one of heavy showers and also some sunny spells.

:40:56. > :41:02.Perhaps the exception to that will be in the south-east of England,

:41:03. > :41:05.where we may well stay dry. In between the showers there will be

:41:06. > :41:08.bright and sunny spells. Taking a look around the country at 9am,

:41:09. > :41:13.there is some rain particularly across Scotland north of the Central

:41:14. > :41:18.Belt. But even southern Scotland seeing some showers. In between, a

:41:19. > :41:21.lot of dry and bright weather. For north-west England we will have some

:41:22. > :41:24.heavy showers around as we go through the morning. Some of us will

:41:25. > :41:29.have between ten and 20 millimetres of rainfall. But north-east England

:41:30. > :41:32.dry and bright. Dry as we move southwards across the Midlands, East

:41:33. > :41:36.Anglia, down into Essex and Kent, through Hampshire, Dorset on the

:41:37. > :41:40.Isle of Wight, some sunny skies. South-west England seeing a few

:41:41. > :41:44.showers and then back into Wales, where we have got more showers, and

:41:45. > :41:47.they are heavy ones. Forming lines overnight. For Northern Ireland you

:41:48. > :41:51.have some showers as well. More especially in the north and the

:41:52. > :41:55.west. The East seeing something drier and brighter. As we go through

:41:56. > :41:59.the course of the day, where it is currently dry, we will see further

:42:00. > :42:20.showers develop. But as is the way with showers, not all of us will

:42:21. > :42:24.catch one. Some of us will stay dry, at times it will be cloudy and at

:42:25. > :42:28.times we will see some sunny skies. If we were to draw a line from South

:42:29. > :42:31.Wales towards the Wash and points north of that, you are prone to

:42:32. > :42:34.seeing some thunder and lightning and some hail. Further south some

:42:35. > :42:37.showers but the south-east could stay dry and invite rhesus

:42:38. > :42:41.temperatures up to 23 will feel quite pleasant. As we go through the

:42:42. > :42:44.evening and overnight most of the showers will tend to fade. However,

:42:45. > :42:47.we will see cloud increase, and then some rain is coming in, accompanied

:42:48. > :42:50.by strengthening winds. Temperatures generally tend to about 15 overnight

:42:51. > :42:53.temperatures in rural parts of Scotland will be lower. It will feel

:42:54. > :42:57.chilly for you. Tomorrow we start off with a lot of dry weather, some

:42:58. > :43:01.sunny spells as well across central and eastern parts of the UK. But the

:43:02. > :43:04.rain already across the south-west is going to spread. The rain will be

:43:08. > :43:10.England and southern counties and will advance north eastwards through

:43:11. > :43:13.the course of the day. Always with cloud building ahead of it and a few

:43:14. > :43:16.showers. Windy across the south-western parts of Wales, with

:43:17. > :43:20.coastal hail. It clears overnight and we are looking at some sunny

:43:21. > :43:23.skies as we head on into Thursday. But still, across western and

:43:24. > :43:27.northern areas, we are not going to be immune to some showers. And then,

:43:28. > :43:30.as we head into the latter part of the week, again we continue with

:43:31. > :43:34.sunshine and showers. Something drier in the south on Saturday and

:43:35. > :43:38.drier for many of us on Sunday. Thank you very much. Getting a bit

:43:39. > :43:43.windy up on that route. A bit blustery. We started talking

:43:44. > :43:48.yesterday about holiday car rentals. You get to the airport and they ask

:43:49. > :43:53.for extra money, and then they say afterwards there is some damage. It

:43:54. > :43:58.is a bit of a pickle, isn't it? And if it doesn't go smoothly, you are

:43:59. > :44:01.just about to go on your holiday and it can feel like the worst thing

:44:02. > :44:04.that can happen. Car companies have come under a bit of pressure lately.

:44:05. > :44:13.They have been grabbing some headlines in the last few days and

:44:14. > :44:17.weeks. Europcar may have to pay out ?30 million for overcharging on car

:44:18. > :44:22.repairs. Today we can see that complaints from customers are on the

:44:23. > :44:25.rise. If you are not able to sort it out with the car companies and their

:44:26. > :44:30.complaint service you can go to the European consumer Centre. In the

:44:31. > :44:33.last year they had seen almost 30% increase in the number of complaints

:44:34. > :44:38.they are getting on this. Since last summer they have had to deal with

:44:39. > :44:42.about 600 odd complaints about car hire. They have told us it is one of

:44:43. > :44:45.the biggest issues they have had to deal with and the commonest

:44:46. > :44:48.complaints, which some people might be familiar with, were about being

:44:49. > :44:51.charged for damage the driver had not done and being misled over

:44:52. > :44:54.excess insurance. That is the protection you can get encased the

:44:55. > :44:58.car gets damaged, and being overcharged for fuel. So how can you

:44:59. > :45:00.avoid these sorts of problems, when you are going away for a nice

:45:01. > :45:02.holiday? Martyn James is a consumer

:45:03. > :45:04.expert from Resolver, Is this an area that's growing? It

:45:05. > :45:11.against big companies. Is this an area that's growing? It

:45:12. > :45:15.is and it's an area that gets under people's skin, asking around and

:45:16. > :45:20.speaking to people about this, there are so many people who are upset or

:45:21. > :45:24.who have been stitched up by car hire charges and full disclosure,

:45:25. > :45:29.this happen to me and my partner ten years ago but we ended up paying

:45:30. > :45:34.?500 excess for a tiny scratch on a bumper. It makes sense to keep an

:45:35. > :45:39.eye out for some of the common ways they can squeeze more cash out of

:45:40. > :45:43.you. Laura has got in touch saying she hired a van for a couple of

:45:44. > :45:47.hours and ended up with a prank when she was taking it back but they

:45:48. > :45:51.insisted they take ?1000 of her credit card for repairs and she

:45:52. > :45:56.wasn't given any option but to pay up, she was totally unaware about

:45:57. > :45:59.how much the van cost to fix. This is becoming an issue, Europcar

:46:00. > :46:04.having to deal with that, what can you do to make sure you don't end up

:46:05. > :46:08.in a pickle you don't want to be in? A good question. There's a couple of

:46:09. > :46:12.simple things you can do in advance to avoid the common problems and I

:46:13. > :46:19.should say not all car hire companies are out to get you but

:46:20. > :46:23.they will try to squeeze you. If you arrive at the check-in desk and they

:46:24. > :46:26.are trying to flog you and the kids are screaming that's when they will

:46:27. > :46:33.try get you. Preparation is wonderful. Pic the best of not the

:46:34. > :46:38.cheapest because the cheapest offer will have the highest excess the. If

:46:39. > :46:42.you access fee is ?1000 then that is the amount of money you will play if

:46:43. > :46:49.they claim they need to make repairs -- access fee. Dave said they hired

:46:50. > :46:53.a car in Alicante and they had to wait six months for the ?1000

:46:54. > :46:58.deposit to come back. There's lots of things that you are asked at the

:46:59. > :47:01.desk, do you have to do any of it? Not necessarily will. The credit

:47:02. > :47:06.card one is interesting because they will freeze the deposit or they will

:47:07. > :47:10.provisionally take it is the official term and refund it as soon

:47:11. > :47:14.as. Let's be clear, there's never an excuse for it to take six months for

:47:15. > :47:22.your own money to be returned. If you have a UK card you have more

:47:23. > :47:26.rights and you can complain through us or the financial ombudsman so it

:47:27. > :47:31.doesn't have to end in tears. When you hire a car and the damage issue,

:47:32. > :47:37.should you be walking around filming it and getting the evidence you can

:47:38. > :47:41.beforehand? It sounds awful but yes is the simple answer. You don't have

:47:42. > :47:45.to go mad because we want people to enjoy their holidays but most people

:47:46. > :47:49.have a tablet or smart phone, when you get in the car they will give

:47:50. > :47:53.you a paper and they will draw on the marks were things need to change

:47:54. > :47:57.so go around and photograph it from all angles and point out any

:47:58. > :48:03.scratches because they can come back and haunt you when you hire the car

:48:04. > :48:07.back. Factory much. Jed has got in touch with another tip, always

:48:08. > :48:11.booked in advance, I imagine it could be worse if you turned up not

:48:12. > :48:13.having a car ready and you have all those problems. Good tips all-round!

:48:14. > :48:22.Thanks very much, Sean. The Home Secretary Amber Rudd is in

:48:23. > :48:25.San Francisco where she is meeting big Internet companies to urge them

:48:26. > :48:29.to do more to tackle online extremism. We can talk to our North

:48:30. > :48:35.American technology reporter Dave Lee. Good to see you. What is she

:48:36. > :48:37.going to try to persuade them to do? This is in terms of tackling the way

:48:38. > :48:46.hackers have access to our accounts? It's more to do with the amount of

:48:47. > :48:50.extremist material appearing on social networks, Facebook, Twitter,

:48:51. > :48:54.Microsoft and Google, they are all getting together tomorrow here,

:48:55. > :48:58.still Monday evening where I am, and they're going to talk about what

:48:59. > :49:03.more can be done and the crucial thing is what does that mean? In the

:49:04. > :49:07.Home Secretary's case, SheBelieves Cup these companies should use some

:49:08. > :49:13.of their intelligence algorithms they used to block certain things --

:49:14. > :49:17.she believes these. They want to use that intelligence to block known

:49:18. > :49:22.extremist material from ever being uploaded to Facebook. It won't just

:49:23. > :49:26.appear and be taken down, it will be blocked before it's even put on the

:49:27. > :49:29.site and that's a big step and something these companies think they

:49:30. > :49:34.may be able to do. But they are reluctant, the reason being they are

:49:35. > :49:43.obviously concerned with freedom of expression and privacy. I raised

:49:44. > :49:44.this with the Home Secretary -- Home Secretary earlier and this is what

:49:45. > :49:50.she said. They have to face up to what our

:49:51. > :49:54.enemy is trying to do, they are trying to weaponised people at home,

:49:55. > :49:57.vulnerable people and trying to turn them into terrorists and what

:49:58. > :50:01.happens is when this material goes online it's circulated really fast.

:50:02. > :50:07.What our company is saying in response to what Amber Rudd is

:50:08. > :50:11.saying? -- what are the companies. They have put out a joint statement,

:50:12. > :50:14.and none of them would do an interview with us about it, but

:50:15. > :50:18.together they acknowledged this was a big problem and a big challenge

:50:19. > :50:23.and something they wanted to tackle and they agree more can be done and

:50:24. > :50:27.again the disagreement is what the Moore is. But privately from the

:50:28. > :50:32.experts I have spoken to and some of the people at this set of companies

:50:33. > :50:36.on the record, they feel hard done by because they feel they have done

:50:37. > :50:41.a lot already to stop the spread of this material and sometimes they are

:50:42. > :50:45.used as a scapegoat for what might be considered as a failure of

:50:46. > :50:49.policing or following leads when it comes to terrorism in particular.

:50:50. > :50:53.There will be give and take and in this meeting happening on Tuesday

:50:54. > :50:56.here, we will see lots of progress and discussion about what can be

:50:57. > :51:00.done, but I don't think tech companies will want to do too much

:51:01. > :51:05.to upset their users and how they feel about using those services.

:51:06. > :51:07.Dave, thanks bromance for joining us. Dave Lee from San Francisco.

:51:08. > :51:09.Britain's only surviving cloth hall reopens today

:51:10. > :51:13.after a multi-million pound renovation.

:51:14. > :51:16.The Piece Hall in Halifax, West Yorkshire was once the centre

:51:17. > :51:19.of the world's wool trade and since then it has been

:51:20. > :51:21.through a number of different incarnations.

:51:22. > :51:25.Fiona Lamdin is there for us this morning.

:51:26. > :51:31.Fiona, I think you're going to reveal it for us in just a minute

:51:32. > :51:37.but this is an extraordinary building, isn't it? Well, just take

:51:38. > :51:42.a look. It really does look like we could be in Italy this morning but

:51:43. > :51:46.we are in Halifax. As you say, we're in the country's last remaining

:51:47. > :51:52.intact Cloth Hall. This is the Piece Hall. It's been here for over 200

:51:53. > :51:58.years and I've been taking a look back at its history.

:51:59. > :52:02.Fiona, I'm sorry that we don't have that report right now but can you

:52:03. > :52:06.give us more of a look around and tell us more about that place

:52:07. > :52:09.because as you said a moment ago, lots of people are thinking what an

:52:10. > :52:15.extraordinary building architecturally and the scale of it?

:52:16. > :52:21.Yes, as you can see, if you can have a look there is over 300 identical

:52:22. > :52:25.doors, each have a little trading unit and a window and a door and

:52:26. > :52:31.back then over 200 years ago this is where people came to trade their

:52:32. > :52:38.cloth. In a minute we will introduce you to the counsellor who is

:52:39. > :52:42.delighted to be opening this. If you come down here I'm going to take you

:52:43. > :52:57.on a little tour and we're going to go and see... If you come down these

:52:58. > :53:02.stairs... We are going to find out what's going to be going on. Coming

:53:03. > :53:06.onto Nicky, we've been hearing a bit about the past and how it used to be

:53:07. > :53:11.a trading place and how they're used to be loads of wall and cotton sold

:53:12. > :53:16.here, tell us about what the future will be? The future will be another

:53:17. > :53:20.bustling town square where we will have trade, heritage and culture

:53:21. > :53:24.again in the square and what we want people to do is come here, meet each

:53:25. > :53:28.other and visit the wonderful shops that have come on board. They are

:53:29. > :53:33.absolutely beautiful. If we look behind there will be restaurants

:53:34. > :53:38.here, do you hope to have music and theatre? There will be open air

:53:39. > :53:43.theatre, music events. In the summer we will do screenings like Somerset

:53:44. > :53:46.house in London so the idea is to make this a vibrant international

:53:47. > :53:50.destination. People in Halifax have known about this place for a long

:53:51. > :53:56.time, just coming to you, Tim Swift, you are hoping to pull people from

:53:57. > :54:00.right across the world? You've seen this morning that macro 81 is really

:54:01. > :54:04.this most extraordinary Georgian building. -- Piece Hall. The only

:54:05. > :54:09.surviving cloth hall in Western Europe. People in Halifax and west

:54:10. > :54:11.Yorkshire have always known about it but we think it has potential

:54:12. > :54:15.national and international appeal as a place to visit and keep coming

:54:16. > :54:23.back to. Yellow what's happening today? At 10am the bell is going to

:54:24. > :54:31.go and the shots are going to open and trading will start again? That's

:54:32. > :54:37.right, when it opened as Piece Hall it opened from just 10am to 2pm for

:54:38. > :54:42.two hours and the bell marked the start of trading. We have a host of

:54:43. > :54:47.events to date to show you what the Piece Hall will have going forward,

:54:48. > :54:51.local people who haven't got in for the last three years will come in

:54:52. > :54:55.and enjoy it -- today. People can also come and see what a wonderful

:54:56. > :55:02.building it is. We will be here through the morning. Can you see all

:55:03. > :55:05.those identical doors? If you pan around there's over 300 and we will

:55:06. > :55:10.be here through the morning showing you what's going on inside those

:55:11. > :55:15.doors. Fiona, thanks very much. Wonderful images. Congratulations to

:55:16. > :55:18.whoever is on the camera for making it down the stairs earlier on

:55:19. > :55:19.without mishap. Always great when it doesn't go

:03:57. > :03:59.She has told the firms they need to work together to protect

:04:03. > :04:04.Our North America technology reporter Dave Lee reports.

:04:05. > :04:08.What I need them to acknowledge is that the enemy, who is really

:04:09. > :04:10.trying to move swiftly online, to radicalise people

:04:11. > :04:12.in their own homes, are really stepping their game up,

:04:13. > :04:16.and we need our response stepped up as well.

:04:17. > :04:22.They need to be the ones to own that. We're asking them to work

:04:23. > :04:28.harder on this, to put more effort, more resources into it, and to work

:04:29. > :04:31.together to deliver it. And in these meetings, actually, I have had a

:04:32. > :04:35.very strong response from all of them. They say they will do just

:04:36. > :04:38.that. None of them want to be the platform on which terrorists to

:04:39. > :04:43.operate, and it is that imperative which is driving this forward. You

:04:44. > :04:46.spoke about making these places on the internet hostile to terrorists.

:04:47. > :04:50.What do you mean by that, exactly? How do you make something like that

:04:51. > :04:55.hostile to Terras? Well, they have to make sure that the material that

:04:56. > :04:59.carers want to put up gets taken down, or even better, doesn't go up

:05:00. > :05:02.in the first place. That is what we are really trying to achieve. I

:05:03. > :05:25.mean, in the UK we take down through our internet referral unit about

:05:26. > :05:29.2000 hostile pieces a week. And that is continuing to rise. We need to

:05:30. > :05:32.make sure that they take action to do this. Users are going to hear

:05:33. > :05:36.this, regular users are going to hear this, and think what you are

:05:37. > :05:39.trying to do is decide before someone posts something whether that

:05:40. > :05:42.is allowed. I mean, that is censorship and the concerns about

:05:43. > :05:45.that, I really... You are deciding before it even goes online whether

:05:46. > :05:48.it is allowed. Well, I would ask users to decide very carefully the

:05:49. > :05:51.consequences of what is going online. This is material that is

:05:52. > :05:54.designed to encourage violence, it is designed to encourage terrorists.

:05:55. > :05:58.Nobody wants that online. And there are ways that we can make sure that

:05:59. > :06:02.the sort of people who they can track of who might be putting that

:06:03. > :06:06.online, I stopped before it goes up, or indeed, as they put it up, it

:06:07. > :06:09.stops actually going up, because they have managed to track it, and

:06:10. > :06:13.they can identify it before it actually goes live. They have to

:06:14. > :06:16.face up, people who might oppose this, to what our enemy is trying to

:06:17. > :06:19.do. They are trying to weaponise people at home, vulnerable people,

:06:20. > :06:22.trying to turn them into terrorists. And what happens is, when this

:06:23. > :06:23.material goes online, it is circulated really fast.

:06:24. > :06:26.Patients with pancreatic cancer are being operated on in just two

:06:27. > :06:28.weeks, instead of two months, after being diagnosed.

:06:29. > :06:31.Research published in the medical journal HPB says early surgery

:06:32. > :06:33.increases patients' chances of having their tumours

:06:34. > :06:36.Doctors in Birmingham hope their approach will

:06:37. > :06:40.Kate Rigby was amazed at how smoothly the NHS worked

:06:41. > :06:42.when she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

:06:43. > :06:45.Within seven days, she had had surgery at the Queen Elizabeth

:06:46. > :06:53.I can't control NHS budget, and all the other things

:06:54. > :06:57.for the poor people who aren't as lucky as me.

:06:58. > :07:00.But what I can do is spread the word.

:07:01. > :07:03.Normally, people with jaundice like Mrs Rigby have a stent put

:07:04. > :07:05.in to relieve symptoms, which delays the main operation.

:07:06. > :07:11.A nurse was employed to speed up treatment from two months to 16

:07:12. > :07:20.days, meaning a fifth more patients were able

:07:21. > :07:22.to complete surgery to remove their cancer.

:07:23. > :07:25.Cutting out the step also said the NHS ?3,200 per patient.

:07:26. > :07:28.We save the NHS potentially ?200,000 per year, with the number

:07:29. > :07:30.of patients that have surgery within our team.

:07:31. > :07:34.And so that, then, is a reproducible model, that other units up and down

:07:35. > :07:38.Pancreatic cancer has a very low survival rate.

:07:39. > :07:41.It will be two years before doctors can say whether treating patients

:07:42. > :07:44.more quickly actually means that they live longer.

:07:45. > :07:47.And, if they do, that will beg the question as to whether or not

:07:48. > :07:50.other aggressive cancers should be treated more quickly.

:07:51. > :07:54.For now, Kate Rigby knows that she has been given the best

:07:55. > :07:56.chance possible to survive pancreatic cancer.

:07:57. > :08:05.British Gas has just announced its latest profits.

:08:06. > :08:16.Yes, we have profits from British Gas and the parent company that own

:08:17. > :08:22.it, and generally for the British Gas part of the business their

:08:23. > :08:25.budgets are down. The biggest thing from the results statement this

:08:26. > :08:28.morning is what they will do with energy prices. They are announcing

:08:29. > :08:36.that from 15 September electricity prices will be going up a 12.5%.

:08:37. > :08:40.British Gas had had a freeze longer than the other suppliers had had for

:08:41. > :08:45.several months, but that has come through now. 12.5% on electricity.

:08:46. > :08:50.Gas prices will be frozen, they say. That means it will be about ?76 on

:08:51. > :08:56.average for everybody with a dual fuel bill with British Gas. Do we

:08:57. > :08:59.know roughly how this compares to the other electricity companies? A

:09:00. > :09:03.lot of the other suppliers have put up prices by a similar amount a

:09:04. > :09:07.little earlier in the year. They had announced that. At wholesale prices,

:09:08. > :09:12.so how much these big suppliers get paid to get energy into them, have

:09:13. > :09:17.actually been falling this year. We are talking to the boss of British

:09:18. > :09:21.Gas in about 20 minutes or so. It will be interesting to see why he

:09:22. > :09:26.says prices are going up so much, because we talk about inflation

:09:27. > :09:30.going up between 2% and 3%, electricity bills going up by 2.5%

:09:31. > :09:36.is a large amount. They say that for those who get the Warm Home

:09:37. > :09:40.Discount, the 200,000 most vulnerable customers, they will be

:09:41. > :09:44.covering that cost. So effectively a rebate you will be getting if you

:09:45. > :09:48.are already getting the Warm Home Discount. But around 3 million

:09:49. > :09:53.customers will see a big price rise on their electricity bill. When are

:09:54. > :09:57.you talking to the boss? In about 20 minutes or so. If you have a

:09:58. > :10:02.specific question you would like Sean to ask, 12% is a big increase.

:10:03. > :10:06.E-mail as those questions. You can get in touch on Twitter as well.

:10:07. > :10:07.Pupils should be taught about the importance

:10:08. > :10:10.of breast-feeding in schools, according to the professional body

:10:11. > :10:14.The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health is also calling

:10:15. > :10:16.on ministers to legislate for breast-feeding breaks

:10:17. > :10:20.The College says Britain has one of the lowest rates

:10:21. > :10:31.of breast-feeding in Europe, blaming social stigma for the trend.

:10:32. > :10:35.More needs to be done to stop women being forced to wear high heels

:10:36. > :10:38.at work, according to scientists at the University of Aberdeen.

:10:39. > :10:40.Academics looked at the physical and social impact of wearing

:10:41. > :10:44.the shoes, and say there is enough evidence to suggest they are bad

:10:45. > :10:48.Earlier this year, the Government rejected calls for a ban

:10:49. > :10:54.When the owner of Petey the dog became stuck in his car

:10:55. > :10:57.during a flash-flood, he decided there was no way

:10:58. > :10:59.he was going to leave his pet in danger.

:11:00. > :11:02.The car was submerged after a dry creek bed was engulfed

:11:03. > :11:08.Rescuers had to use a crane to get to the car, before Petey was handed

:11:09. > :11:10.over by his owner, who then climbed out.

:11:11. > :11:13.The pair could then walk across the crane to safety

:11:14. > :11:35.And Petey is all well, that is good. Sally will have the sport for us in

:11:36. > :11:38.about half an hour. Carol will have the weather.

:11:39. > :11:40.He is no stranger to delivering the words "You're fired",

:11:41. > :11:42.but even for the reality TV star-turned-President,

:11:43. > :11:45.the past 11 days have seen a staggering number of departures

:11:46. > :11:48.from the West Wing of Donald Trump's White House.

:11:49. > :11:50.Former communications director Anthony Scaramucci is the latest

:11:51. > :11:54.Let's try and make sense of the latest developments

:11:55. > :11:57.with the American political analyst Eric Ham, who is in our Washington

:11:58. > :12:15.Lovely to speak to you again. So when Anthony Scaramucci was first at

:12:16. > :12:20.the podium, the first thing he said is I am going to be very brief. He

:12:21. > :12:25.certainly was. He meant that literally, yes. This is a record

:12:26. > :12:28.departure in the White House, and it actually looks more like a Trump's

:12:29. > :12:32.own reality show, the apprentice, because we are seeing so many people

:12:33. > :12:38.depart from this White House, it is getting difficult to keep up -- The

:12:39. > :12:41.Apprentice. This is the third high-profile departure from this

:12:42. > :12:46.White House in just to make weeks, so it does look like the White House

:12:47. > :12:50.in chaos and there are many in the Republican establishment that are

:12:51. > :12:53.actually breathing a sigh of relief, hoping that General Kelly can

:12:54. > :12:59.actually bring normalcy to the White House. Now, what is ironic about

:13:00. > :13:03.this new addition to the White House, General Kelly, is that he is

:13:04. > :13:08.actually the first military man to serve as White House chief of staff

:13:09. > :13:12.since Alexander Haig, who was the White House chief of staff for

:13:13. > :13:17.Richard Nixon. And there have been many who have actually compared

:13:18. > :13:21.Donald Trump's administration thus far to the eventual downfall of

:13:22. > :13:25.Richard Nixon. So this could get really interesting going forward.

:13:26. > :13:28.Talk us through a little bit more about Anthony Scaramucci himself.

:13:29. > :13:32.When he was appointed and spoke himself he talked about just how

:13:33. > :13:37.close he was to Donald Trump, kind of personally, but also in terms of

:13:38. > :13:40.their style. He is quite rash, someone who on the face of it you

:13:41. > :13:44.would think Donald Trump would like to have in his team. But he is gone

:13:45. > :13:48.and partly because he was so outspoken -- quite brash. Do you

:13:49. > :13:52.think his departure means we are heading towards a new style of White

:13:53. > :13:56.House administration? Actually, I think we are heading into a new

:13:57. > :14:00.style in the short term. I do believe that Donald Trump made some

:14:01. > :14:07.concessions to John Kelly in order for John Kelly to take this position

:14:08. > :14:10.and I do believe that one of those concessions was that Anthony

:14:11. > :14:13.Scaramucci needed to move on from this position. I believe that Kelly

:14:14. > :14:17.wanted somebody who was more disciplined in that role, and so I

:14:18. > :14:21.believe that in the short term what Donald Trump did is something that

:14:22. > :14:26.he failed to do with his previous White House chief of staff, and that

:14:27. > :14:32.is to empower him to actually run the operation and manage the White

:14:33. > :14:37.House as it should be, and make the White House chief of staff the last

:14:38. > :14:42.voice that many people in that White House here. Now, I think what will

:14:43. > :14:46.be interesting going forward is many people typically see the White House

:14:47. > :14:50.chief of staff as an administrative or maybe a management position, but

:14:51. > :14:53.actually, in Washington, this is actually considered the top

:14:54. > :14:58.political job in Washington. And so we don't typically see or think of

:14:59. > :15:04.General Kelly as a political person. So I think this will be interesting

:15:05. > :15:07.if he can actually develop, or if he has, political antenna. Because that

:15:08. > :15:10.is something he is going to moving forward.

:15:11. > :15:19.I'm going to play a clip of Anthony Scaramucci when he spoke to one of

:15:20. > :15:21.our colleagues Emily Maitlis and it gives you a glimpse of why he has

:15:22. > :15:26.now gone. One of the things I cannot stand

:15:27. > :15:30.about this town is the backstabbing that goes on here. OK? Where I grew

:15:31. > :15:34.up in the neighbourhood I'm from we're front stabbers, we like to

:15:35. > :15:39.tell you where we're from and what we're doing. He was talking about

:15:40. > :15:43.backstabbing, the ironies are so rich in this but if you were looking

:15:44. > :15:47.for a positive spin about this and the White House is all about spin,

:15:48. > :15:52.it's the positive that they think they are heading to a calmer spot.

:15:53. > :15:57.It has been pretty hectic. It has been. I do believe that many people

:15:58. > :16:03.will look at this move and think that this can be a turning point for

:16:04. > :16:07.this administration. But again, I do believe that Scaramucci was acting

:16:08. > :16:11.in the interests of Donald Trump and I do believe that President Trump

:16:12. > :16:19.and Chile was pleased with the work that he had witnessed thus far from

:16:20. > :16:24.Scaramucci -- actually. But I believe he recognised he needed a

:16:25. > :16:29.strong White House chief of staff. If there's one thing we know about

:16:30. > :16:34.Donald Trump, he has a great and high respect for military personnel.

:16:35. > :16:40.I believe in the short-term, and I do believe this is a short-term fix,

:16:41. > :16:42.he was willing to hand over the rains to John Kelly to move him into

:16:43. > :16:48.this position. I believe we will see a more

:16:49. > :16:50.disciplined White House but will we see a more disciplined President

:16:51. > :16:59.Trump? That's the big question going

:17:00. > :17:03.forward. The departure of Scaramucci is perhaps the easiest thing John

:17:04. > :17:09.Kelly will be able to get done in this White House. Now the real

:17:10. > :17:12.difficult work of running the White House and managing relationships

:17:13. > :17:16.both with Congress and other Republican stakeholders, I think

:17:17. > :17:26.that becomes the very heavylift that John Kelly is going to have to wrap

:17:27. > :17:31.his hands around going forward. Eric, thanks for staying up late for

:17:32. > :17:35.us, never a dull day in the White House! You could stay up and just be

:17:36. > :17:36.entertained at all hours watching the White House!

:17:37. > :17:37.You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:17:38. > :17:39.The main stories this morning:

:17:40. > :17:41.Donald Trump has sacked his communications director,

:17:42. > :17:43.Anthony Scaramucci, just days after appointing him.

:17:44. > :17:46.The Home Secretary is in America challenging the likes of Facebook,

:17:47. > :17:54.Twitter and Google to do more to remove extremist content online.

:17:55. > :18:07.Piece Mill which reopens in Halifax this morning.

:18:08. > :18:14.It's to help celebrate Yorkshire Date. You can see the blue skies

:18:15. > :18:22.peeking through the clouds. -- Date. Is that going to be the picture

:18:23. > :18:26.across the country? -- Date. You're on the top of New Broadcasting House

:18:27. > :18:30.in London? Good morning. It won't be the case everywhere and even in

:18:31. > :18:34.Yorkshire it won't stay dry all day because what we have today is a

:18:35. > :18:38.forecast of heavy showers, some will have hail and thunder embedded in

:18:39. > :18:43.them, and bright spells or indeed sunny intervals. If we start by

:18:44. > :18:47.looking at the country at 9am. In Scotland we will have some heavy

:18:48. > :18:51.showers, particularly north of the central Belt. Where we don't have

:18:52. > :18:54.the showers it's a bright start with southern Scotland seeing some

:18:55. > :18:58.showers this morning, easing off through the morning, though. Some

:18:59. > :19:02.heavy showers at the moment in parts of north-west England. Currently

:19:03. > :19:06.north-east England is dry, as we've just seen in Halifax, and as we come

:19:07. > :19:10.further south across the Peak District into the Midlands, East

:19:11. > :19:14.Anglia, Essex and Kent all the way to the Home Counties and the Isle of

:19:15. > :19:19.Wight, similar skies to London, blue skies with some cloud here and

:19:20. > :19:23.there. Drifting east woods, and westwards, against some sunshine but

:19:24. > :19:27.a few showers in south-west England -- eastwards. In Wales, some heavy

:19:28. > :19:32.showers and forming lines through the night, that's why they are

:19:33. > :19:35.heavy, they are merging. As we push into Northern Ireland, the north and

:19:36. > :19:38.west of Northern Ireland is seeing the showers this morning with the

:19:39. > :19:43.east attending to be dry. Through the day further showers will develop

:19:44. > :19:47.and some will push east. Not all of us will see them but there's the

:19:48. > :19:51.potential for some to be heavy and thundery with some hail, especially

:19:52. > :19:55.if we draw a line from said the south Wales to the Wash northwards,

:19:56. > :20:00.that's where you're likely to see that combination. Further south,

:20:01. > :20:04.south-east England could stay dry and in light winds, temperatures up

:20:05. > :20:08.to 23 feeling quite pleasant but generally we're looking at a

:20:09. > :20:17.temperature range of 17 to 20. As we had through the evening and

:20:18. > :20:21.overnight, many the showers will tend to fade but through the latter

:20:22. > :20:23.part of the night you'll notice the cloud encroaching into south-west

:20:24. > :20:27.England and south Wales. The showers will start to arrive and the wind

:20:28. > :20:30.will increase and the whole lot will be followed by rain. Temperatures

:20:31. > :20:33.roughly ten to 15 overnight but lower than that in sheltered glens

:20:34. > :20:37.in Scotland. For tomorrow for many we start off on a drier and brighter

:20:38. > :20:41.note even with some sunshine but all the cloud and rain in the south-west

:20:42. > :20:44.will move north-east and spread out across the south coast. That's where

:20:45. > :20:47.it's going to be heavy and persistent and it will drift

:20:48. > :20:50.north-east of through the day. Coastal gales in south-west England

:20:51. > :20:53.and south-west Wales and eventually the rain pushes far north, not into

:20:54. > :20:57.the far north of Scotland, which will hang on to the driest

:20:58. > :21:01.conditions but tomorrow as a result will be cooler. Most of that clears

:21:02. > :21:06.overnight and by Thursday we have a curl of rain coming into the north

:21:07. > :21:10.and west of the UK. That will bring showery outbreaks of rain but for

:21:11. > :21:15.many it will be dry, a breezy day and temperatures getting up into the

:21:16. > :21:19.low 20s. That leads us into Friday, which is going to be a day of

:21:20. > :21:23.sunshine and showers but at the moment it looks like we are going to

:21:24. > :21:28.see hunting dry in the south on Saturday and for many on Sunday. But

:21:29. > :21:31.that's an if because there are tropical storms in the Atlantic and

:21:32. > :21:35.that could have a bearing on our weather, so I'll keep you posted on

:21:36. > :21:41.that in the next couple of days. Keep us posted. Thanks bromance, see

:21:42. > :21:45.you later on. Let's look at the morning papers, shall we? -- thanks

:21:46. > :21:49.very much. The Daily Telegraph looking at Statins, lots of

:21:50. > :21:53.discussion about how useful they are and who should be receiving them but

:21:54. > :21:57.now the Royal College of GPs is warning they are being prescribed to

:21:58. > :22:03.people because of their age and not their condition. The other story is

:22:04. > :22:06.Mr Scaramucci, Anthony Scaramucci, has been removed as Donald Trump's

:22:07. > :22:11.communications director after 11 days. That's on the front page of

:22:12. > :22:16.the Mail as well, the picture is Scaramucci and Donald Trump, the

:22:17. > :22:21.thumbs up shot clearly before this recent sacking and the main story

:22:22. > :22:28.pupils as young as 11 could have lessons in breast-feeding to make it

:22:29. > :22:33.better better known. Sam Shepard, the American actor and playwright

:22:34. > :22:39.has died at 73 after suffering with motor neurone disease. On the front

:22:40. > :22:45.page of the Sun, quite of the few -- quite a few of the papers focusing

:22:46. > :22:51.on the Diana tapes featuring in a television documentary. This page on

:22:52. > :22:55.the front of the Sun, very controversial story often, according

:22:56. > :23:00.to this story Facebook shut down artificial intelligence experiments

:23:01. > :23:04.after two robots began talking in a language only they understood. They

:23:05. > :23:09.were set up to start having this discussion. It was a kind of

:23:10. > :23:13.negotiation and watching the dialogue and eventually it made no

:23:14. > :23:17.sense to anyone and the assumption was they understood each other but

:23:18. > :23:19.we didn't understand them. The rise of the machines, sounds familiar!

:23:20. > :23:23.From today, people studying to be nurses or midwives will no longer

:23:24. > :23:25.receive NHS bursaries, instead they will have to apply

:23:26. > :23:29.Applications for courses are down by more than 20%.

:23:30. > :23:31.The Government says it is providing funding for an extra 10,000

:23:32. > :23:34.university places for students on nursing, midwifery and other

:23:35. > :23:48.We get rid of that and you've now got what?

:23:49. > :23:52.These second-year nursing students are getting their first look

:23:53. > :23:56.at the Anatomage Table using the latest technology to take

:23:57. > :24:01.a 3-D trip through a virtual human body.

:24:02. > :24:04.Their degree course at the University of Central Lancashire

:24:05. > :24:07.is funded by NHS bursaries and grants, but as of today

:24:08. > :24:08.applicants wanting to study nursing, midwifery

:24:09. > :24:11.and other medical courses will need a student loan in line

:24:12. > :24:19.So would it have deterred these students?

:24:20. > :24:22.I don't think it would have made a difference to myself

:24:23. > :24:25.because I really wanted to become a nurse and although the financial

:24:26. > :24:29.implications of not having a bursary would have impacted on me quite

:24:30. > :24:32.heavily, but I could have managed and my desire to become a nurse

:24:33. > :24:41.But applications for these courses have fallen by around 20%.

:24:42. > :24:48.Theories include doubts from European students about Brexit.

:24:49. > :24:51.A birthrate decline in the number of 18-year-olds as well as concerns

:24:52. > :24:56.The universities, though, are determined to see the numbers

:24:57. > :24:58.recover and here there's cautious optimism.

:24:59. > :25:01.We have seen a decline in the number of applications coming through,

:25:02. > :25:03.but they're good quality and so the key thing

:25:04. > :25:06.is that they convert into the numbers that we have.

:25:07. > :25:08.So I'm very positive at this moment in time

:25:09. > :25:20.One of the main areas of concern is the impact on mature students.

:25:21. > :25:25.Nursing and midwifery attract a much higher percentage of older

:25:26. > :25:29.applicants than other degree courses and their life experience is seen

:36:30. > :36:44.which saw the team come under intense criticism two weeks ago.

:36:45. > :36:50.I think the way we played was brilliant. I looked down the side

:36:51. > :36:54.and we had a number of matchwinners throughout. If we can get in a

:36:55. > :36:57.position of strength early we can generally find ways to get across

:36:58. > :37:01.the line. So I think it is really important that we continue to look

:37:02. > :37:04.to do that. But the most important thing to me was that we responded

:37:05. > :37:08.positively after last week. It was obviously very tough week for us but

:37:38. > :37:43.We've seen progress, and yes, some of that -

:37:44. > :37:45.on some occasions, some of that progress has been quicker

:37:46. > :37:50.And it tended to speed up a little bit when there's been a focus

:37:51. > :37:52.normally around the major championships.

:37:53. > :37:55.So it's not that there isn't any progress, but the progress we want

:37:56. > :37:58.has to culminate in a meeting of those criteria, and it's clear

:39:46. > :39:52.What are your earliest memories of an Olympics? What is the first big

:39:53. > :39:55.Olympics you remember? One really sticks in my mind. My earliest

:39:56. > :40:05.proper memory I think would be David Thompson. I wonder whether it might

:40:06. > :40:09.have been... It might have been Los Angeles, 1984? That is actually

:40:10. > :40:13.quite late, but if I am honest that is the first one. What about some of

:40:14. > :40:23.the swimmers, David Wilkie and some of those swimmers Elli on... Who was

:40:24. > :40:26.the Ethiopian runner, the woman? -- earlier on. Interestingly, you are

:40:27. > :40:30.going back to 1984. The deal is done for Los Angeles

:40:31. > :40:33.to host the 2028 Olympic LA's bid team has reached

:40:34. > :40:37.an agreement with the International Olympic Committee,

:40:38. > :40:39.which is expected to be ratified by the Los Angeles City

:40:40. > :40:41.Council later today. LA had originally been

:40:42. > :40:44.bidding for the 2024 Games, but that event is now set

:40:45. > :40:52.to take place in Paris. When I said to you at the start of

:40:53. > :40:56.this, what is your most striking Olympic memory, do you know what

:40:57. > :41:01.mine is? The man with the jet pack arriving into the stadium in Los

:41:02. > :41:06.Angeles. It was just like something from another world. It very much may

:41:07. > :41:11.be Olympics much bigger, there was a sense of occasion to it. And in 1984

:41:12. > :41:16.no one really wanted that Olympics. Los Angeles to get and it did them a

:41:17. > :41:20.world of good. It was a fantastic to be kept games, so the Olympics

:41:21. > :41:24.definitely going back to Hollywood. -- fantastic Games.

:41:25. > :41:28.British Gas have just announced they are putting their prices up

:41:29. > :41:36.Sometimes it feels like it doesn't have much direct impact on people's

:41:37. > :41:40.pockets, but this announcement really does. Yes, it is not just

:41:41. > :41:41.about profits but about energy prices.

:41:42. > :41:43.Yes, Britain's largest energy supplier has just said

:41:44. > :41:46.that its electricity prices will go up by 12.5% from September.

:41:47. > :41:49.Gas prices will be frozen, but it means around ?76 will be

:41:50. > :41:51.added to average annual household duel fuel bills.

:41:52. > :41:53.Iain Conn is the chief executive of Centrica.

:41:54. > :42:14.Good morning. Good morning. The wholesale cost of energy, what you

:42:15. > :42:19.pay for it, has been going down. So why is it going up customers? So

:42:20. > :42:24.first of all, the last time we moved our electricity prices was in

:42:25. > :42:29.January 2014, and since then they have been held flat. From that time,

:42:30. > :42:33.and you are absolutely correct, wholesale prices have fallen. We

:42:34. > :42:38.estimate about ?36 on the average bill. That is not what is driving

:42:39. > :42:42.this. What is driving it is the transport and distribution costs.

:42:43. > :42:47.The cost of getting the electricity to your home, and government,

:42:48. > :42:52.environmental and policy costs. And when you add those two together,

:42:53. > :42:55.that has gone up I approaching ?100. That is what is driving the

:42:56. > :43:07.increase. I should finally say that, even after this increase, British

:43:08. > :43:11.Gas's increase is lower than our competitors. We have heard that when

:43:12. > :43:15.energy prices are going up or you that is often passed on. If when

:43:16. > :43:20.they are falling at does not fall for the customer, does that mean the

:43:21. > :43:24.energy market is not working for these customers? Actually, as the

:43:25. > :43:30.energy prices have been falling, we have reduced gas prices four times

:43:31. > :43:34.over the last few years. And the only reason electricity prices are

:43:35. > :43:39.not falling, and are now rising, is because of these other costs. The

:43:40. > :43:43.electricity costs are being affected either change in the electricity

:43:44. > :43:57.system, as more renewables are coming on the big red -- by the

:43:58. > :44:01.change. -- onto the grid. So if customers want to see electricity

:44:02. > :44:05.prices falling, who do they look to to get that to fall? Is it the

:44:06. > :44:09.government? Is that people providing you with energy? So first of all,

:44:10. > :44:14.one has to remember that all energy costs have actually fallen, on

:44:15. > :44:21.average, significantly over the last few years. Electricity by less, as I

:44:22. > :44:25.have explained, gas prices by more, and we have been able to pass it

:44:26. > :44:30.onto our customers. And this price in September is for electricity

:44:31. > :44:39.only. Our gas prices are being held flat. It is a big figure, isn't it?

:44:40. > :44:48.Ofgem are the regulator for the industry. They have said that

:44:49. > :44:52.tariffs are lower. Why can't you switch people to a fixed-rate deal?

:44:53. > :44:54.You know it is better for your customers. Festival, Ofgem have

:44:55. > :45:00.published also that the average cost per hour supplier has gone up by

:45:01. > :45:08.about 15% in the Kostya -- first of all. On standard variable tariffs.

:45:09. > :45:12.Our standard tariff is a standard retail tariff. But standard variable

:45:13. > :45:18.tariffs are not good value for a lot of customers, yet you still provide

:45:19. > :45:21.it. So the standard variable tariff is part of our licence conditions.

:45:22. > :45:25.And one of the things we are proposing is, instead of the

:45:26. > :45:28.government capping the standard variable tariff, which we think

:45:29. > :45:33.would not be good for competition or choice, we are actually advocating

:45:34. > :45:37.that the standard variable tariff should be phased out completely. We

:45:38. > :45:43.think that these tariffs that have no end to that term do not encourage

:45:44. > :45:47.customers to shop around, and we are advocating ending it.

:45:48. > :45:56.What do you say to customers where they have seen supermarkets say

:45:57. > :46:01.there are prices rising, and British Gas have put up prices 12.5%, that

:46:02. > :46:06.will squeeze their pockets more when wages are going up at the same rate.

:46:07. > :46:11.What do you say to those people? It's very regrettable we have had to

:46:12. > :46:15.put prices up. This is the first time for electricity in four years

:46:16. > :46:20.and I remind you we have also reduced prices of gas a number of

:46:21. > :46:26.times over the last few years so we are responsive. The average increase

:46:27. > :46:30.will be 7.3% on a dual fuel bill and the final point I will make is we

:46:31. > :46:36.are very concerned about some customers who have difficulty paying

:46:37. > :46:40.and the warm home discount provided to some customers we consider

:46:41. > :46:44.vulnerable, some of them are not protected by the prepayment cap that

:46:45. > :46:48.came in at the beginning of this year and we voluntarily decided we

:46:49. > :46:53.going to protect another 200,000 of those customers from this increase.

:46:54. > :47:00.We are very conscious of people's pockets and the fact that energy is

:47:01. > :47:04.a big part of the Bill. That is why we implemented a price freeze and

:47:05. > :47:09.kept it open for as long as we could. Hyeon, thanks very much, the

:47:10. > :47:17.Chief Executive of Centrica, which owns British Gas. -- Ian. Prices

:47:18. > :47:22.going up not because of energy prices for them going up but they

:47:23. > :47:26.say it is government costs and transmission costs have gone up so

:47:27. > :47:27.much that it has had to go on to the customers. Sean, thanks very much.

:48:02. > :48:07.in London. Good morning to you too. A fine start to the morning, breezy

:48:08. > :48:10.but we are a few levels up. Blue skies and feeling pleasant but the

:48:11. > :48:14.forecast for the UK is one of sunshine and heavy showers. Some of

:48:15. > :48:18.the showers could have hail and thunder embedded in them but as is

:48:19. > :48:23.the way with showers, not everyone will see one. If we take a tour

:48:24. > :48:26.around the country at 9am, there is some rain in parts of Scotland,

:48:27. > :48:30.particularly north of the Central Belt. Showers through the south of

:49:19. > :49:21.west will move a bit further eastwards, fragmenting. Further

:49:22. > :49:26.showers will develop. We're not all going to catch one but if we were to

:49:27. > :49:30.draw a line from south Wales to the wash, points north of that are more

:49:31. > :49:34.prone to slow moving heavy showers with hail and thunder. Further south

:49:35. > :49:40.the showers will be further and farther between. With highs of 23 it

:49:41. > :49:44.will be pleasant in light breezes. Through the evening and overnight

:49:45. > :49:47.the showers will fade but we have cloud building in south-west England

:49:48. > :49:51.and south Wales and then some showers and then rain and the wind

:49:52. > :49:55.strengthening. Temperature wise we are looking at ten to 15 as the

:49:56. > :49:59.overnight lows, lower in rural Scotland, though. Tomorrow we start

:50:00. > :50:03.with a lot of drier and brighter weather in northern, eastern and

:50:04. > :50:07.central parts but the cloud will continue to drift north-east ahead

:50:08. > :50:11.of the band of rain doing the same thing. You can see how it forks out.

:50:12. > :50:17.The heaviest rain will be in Wales, south-west England and southern

:50:18. > :50:20.counties and here it will also be persistent and we will see coastal

:50:21. > :50:22.gales across the approaches of south-west England and southern

:50:23. > :50:26.Wales. Northern Scotland staying dry. Through the course of the

:50:27. > :50:30.evening and overnight, that rain pushes across and we have a curl of

:50:31. > :50:35.showery outbreaks in the north and west but for many on Thursday it

:50:36. > :50:37.will be dry and breezy with highs up to the low 20s.

:50:44. > :50:45.after a multi-million pound renovation.

:50:46. > :50:47.The Piece Hall in Halifax, West Yorkshire

:50:48. > :50:50.was once the centre of the world's wool trade and since then it has

:50:51. > :50:52.been through a number of different incarnations.

:50:53. > :50:59.Fiona Lamdin is there for us this morning.

:51:00. > :51:07.It's an amazing building, Fiona, isn't it? Good morning. Good

:51:08. > :51:11.morning. I'm in the middle of the Piece Hall, it feels like we could

:51:12. > :51:16.be in Italy but this is Halifax. It's over 200 years old. It has an

:51:17. > :51:20.extraordinary history but today at 10am it opens its doors to training

:51:21. > :51:25.again but I've been looking back at the extraordinary history. --

:51:26. > :51:31.trading. For the last 2.5 centuries the Piece

:51:32. > :51:37.Hall has stood at the heart of Halifax, where in 1779 people came

:51:38. > :51:42.to trade pieces of cloth. There were at least 315 individual rooms built

:51:43. > :51:46.for the sale of cloth, from which clothiers would have sold the will

:51:47. > :51:49.to merchants. Merchants would have come from quite far afield,

:51:50. > :51:53.including on occasion from Europe, and the trade from the Piece Hall

:51:54. > :51:57.went back into Europe and also over to the Americas. All the Wall came

:51:58. > :52:02.from local sheep woven by local families on their farms. This is an

:52:03. > :52:06.example of the cloth most commonly sold in the Piece Hall and as you

:52:07. > :52:12.can feel, it's pretty hard wearing, isn't it? Pretty rough. This was

:52:13. > :52:18.largely used by the military so it would have been used to make

:52:19. > :52:23.uniforms. This is the country's only surviving in fact cloth hall. With

:52:24. > :52:32.315 individual yet identical trading rooms. It seems such a waste this

:52:33. > :52:37.beautiful building was only open back then in the 18th century for

:52:38. > :52:41.trading for two hours every week. But after the Industrial Revolution

:52:42. > :52:46.the cloth was mainly made and sold from the mills. In its place the

:52:47. > :52:51.Piece Hall was filled with fruit and veg sellers. But a century on, in

:52:52. > :52:54.the 1970s, this is how the Piece Hall looked, a blot on the

:52:55. > :52:59.landscape, threatened to be flattened to make way for a car

:53:00. > :53:04.park. One of those who fought to save it back then was Mary Crosby.

:53:05. > :53:12.She had a shop on the second floor. She hasn't been inside for decades.

:53:13. > :53:14.We took her back. Wow! Wow! Isn't that lovely?

:53:15. > :53:20.When I first came in it was all black, there were sheds around the

:53:21. > :53:27.edge and warehouses in the middle and vehicles. When I came up onto

:53:28. > :53:31.the balcony I remember there were holes in the floor and it smells of

:53:32. > :53:35.cats. But you still fell in love with it? I still fell in love with

:53:36. > :53:39.it. To start with there were only three of us for quite a long time

:53:40. > :53:44.and there wasn't much prey to start with but it developed gradually.

:53:45. > :53:50.It's hoped this historical hall will place Halifax back on the map. 238

:53:51. > :53:55.years on as the shelves fill up, this is a new chapter for this town,

:53:56. > :53:56.but nothing is new for these old stones who have witnessed it all

:53:57. > :54:04.before. We are very excited this morning to

:54:05. > :54:09.be joined by David holes worth. Good morning. Good morning. You are

:54:10. > :54:13.eighth generation here which actually means back then all those

:54:14. > :54:20.years ago your family had three or four units we think around about

:54:21. > :54:24.here. Your family were trailing behind us in these units? That's

:54:25. > :54:29.right, in the days of the cottage industry we were what you might call

:54:30. > :54:32.traders, we were supplying the cottage weavers with the yarn and

:54:33. > :54:36.they made fabrics to certain patterns that were then brought to

:54:37. > :54:41.my forebears and they sold the fabrics here in the rooms in the

:54:42. > :54:48.Piece Hall back in 1779 through to around 1820. They were here on the

:54:49. > :54:50.first day when it opened? Correct, obviously they contributed to the

:54:51. > :54:55.building of this magnificent building. You are still in the

:54:56. > :55:02.textile world, you have kept the tradition going? Myself I have been

:55:03. > :55:06.in manufacturing all my life with manufacturing bus fabrics and now I

:55:07. > :55:10.supply fabrics to large organisations, some of which are

:55:11. > :55:14.manufactured locally. Is it amazing to see this building, to think those

:55:15. > :55:19.hundreds of years ago your family were here, what's it like seeing it

:55:20. > :55:23.open again? Magnificent. We used to come here when we were younger when

:55:24. > :55:27.it was a market but it was pretty the credit but to have it restored

:55:28. > :55:32.to this level is magnificent and it is super to have a large piazza

:55:33. > :55:37.where we can have super events and theatricals and artists and music.

:55:38. > :55:43.David, thanks for joining us. We are going to take you to meet one more

:55:44. > :55:48.person. As David said, a fantastic piazza. Lisa is opening her

:55:49. > :55:51.restaurant for the first time today. Very quickly, Lisa, this will be

:55:52. > :55:57.your first restaurant? That's correct. We have been running

:55:58. > :56:01.different catering events since 2011 starting in our living room, a

:56:02. > :56:06.pop-up series of restaurants and now we are opening in Halifax. How does

:56:07. > :56:10.it feel to think this is your first restaurant and you are opening

:56:11. > :56:15.today? It feels fantastic, obviously slightly nervous but looking forward

:56:16. > :56:19.to welcoming people in as part of wider celebrations. Leezer was

:56:20. > :56:24.telling me earlier her vision very much... You will come out and see

:56:25. > :56:29.why, look at this space, on a sunny evening they wouldn't want to be out

:56:30. > :56:35.here having a coffee? -- Lisa. It really feels like we are in Europe.

:56:36. > :56:40.A coffee and a slice of cake, Fiona, and take in the view. And just a

:56:41. > :56:43.tiny bit warmer! Hey, it's not too bad, Carol will give us the latest

:56:44. > :00:06.later on. Looks beautiful. This is Breakfast, with

:03:16. > :03:18.three million customers who are Let's get more detail

:03:19. > :03:24.from Sean who joins us now. Sean, you interviewed the boss of

:03:25. > :03:27.Centrica, the owner of British Gas. Challenging him quite a bit on why

:03:28. > :03:32.we see this price rise now? Quite often we hear energy prices, when

:03:33. > :03:36.they go up for suppliers, where they get their energy from in pipes

:03:37. > :03:40.around the world, when they go up it is often passed on to customers but

:03:41. > :03:45.in recent months, energy prices for them have been falling and so when

:03:46. > :03:56.you put that to Ian Connor, the boss of Centrica, the owner of British

:03:57. > :03:58.Gas, they say they have been falling but other costs are going up like

:03:59. > :04:00.transmission costs, moving energy around the UK, investment into the

:04:01. > :04:02.grid, as he put it, and general government policy, passed on through

:04:03. > :04:05.suppliers and on to customers meaning that has put up costs. When

:04:06. > :04:12.I put that to him he acknowledged that there were rises but he said

:04:13. > :04:19.they had to be made. We are very conscious of people's pockets and

:04:20. > :04:22.the fact that people and energy is a big part of the bill so we

:04:23. > :04:27.implemented a price freeze and kept it open for as long as we could.

:04:28. > :04:32.Remind us, that was the boss talking about some of the reasoning, can you

:04:33. > :04:38.take us through the numbers, what are the rises? With gas there is no

:04:39. > :04:43.rise but with electricity a rise of 12.5% for 3 million odd customers at

:04:44. > :04:54.British Gas. On a dual fuel bill, that's about ?76 on top of what

:04:55. > :04:57.they've paid previously, coming to an average about ?1120 for a dual

:04:58. > :04:59.fuel bill, they say. For the 200,000 customers they have on the discount,

:05:00. > :05:05.their most vulnerable customers, they will effectively get a rebate

:05:06. > :05:14.for the costs of ?76 bid for the other ?2.8 -- 2.8 million customers,

:05:15. > :05:19.they will take that on the chin. He said it was regrettable they had to

:05:20. > :05:24.put up the prices but the standard tariff needs to be put out by energy

:05:25. > :05:29.suppliers and he called for an end to it so it was not a default

:05:30. > :05:34.option. You can be switched to lower tariffs, fixed payment plans?

:05:35. > :05:42.Exactly, the regulator say that there is a lot of cheaper deals are

:08:23. > :08:24.to radicalise people in their own homes, are really

:08:25. > :08:27.stepping their game up, and we need our response

:08:28. > :08:30.stepped up as well. They need to be

:08:31. > :08:34.the ones to own that. We're asking them to work harder

:08:35. > :08:37.on this, to put more effort, more resources into it,

:08:38. > :08:41.and to work together to deliver it. And in these meetings, actually,

:08:45. > :08:50.on which terrorists do operate, and it is that imperative

:08:51. > :08:52.which is driving this forward. You spoke about making these

:08:53. > :08:55.places on the internet How do you make something like that

:08:56. > :09:03.hostile to terrorists? Well, they have to make sure

:09:04. > :09:06.that the material that terrorists want to put up gets taken down,

:09:07. > :09:09.or even better, doesn't go That is what we are really

:09:10. > :09:13.trying to achieve. I mean, in the UK we take down,

:09:14. > :09:16.through our internet referral unit, about 2,000 hostile pieces a week,

:09:17. > :09:21.and that is continuing to rise. We need to make sure

:09:22. > :09:24.that they take action to do this. Users are going to hear this,

:09:25. > :09:27.regular users are going to hear this, and think what you are trying

:09:28. > :09:30.to do is decide, before someone posts something,

:09:31. > :09:32.whether that is allowed. I mean, that is censorship,

:09:33. > :09:34.and the concerns about You are deciding before it even goes

:09:35. > :09:42.online whether it is allowed. Well, I would ask users to decide

:09:43. > :09:44.very carefully the consequences This is material that is designed

:09:45. > :09:48.to encourage violence, it is designed to encourage

:09:49. > :09:50.terrorists. And there are ways that we can make

:09:51. > :10:01.sure that the sort of people who they can track who might be

:10:02. > :10:04.putting that online are stopped before it goes up, or indeed,

:10:05. > :10:07.as they put it up, it stops Because they have managed to track

:10:08. > :10:11.it, and they can identify it before They have to face up,

:10:39. > :10:40.cancer are being operated on in just two weeks,

:10:41. > :10:42.instead of two months Research published in the medical

:10:43. > :10:46.journal, HPB, says early surgery increases patients' chances

:10:47. > :10:47.of having their tumours Doctors in Birmingham

:10:48. > :10:50.hope their approach will be Kate Rigby was amazed at how

:10:51. > :10:58.smoothly the NHS worked when she was diagnosed

:10:59. > :11:00.with pancreatic cancer. Within seven days, she had had

:11:01. > :11:02.surgery at the Queen Elizabeth I can't control NHS budget,

:11:03. > :11:10.and all the other things for the poor people who aren't

:11:11. > :11:13.as lucky as me. But what I can do

:11:14. > :11:17.is spread the word. Normally, people with jaundice

:11:18. > :11:19.like Mrs Rigby have a stent put in to relieve symptoms,

:11:20. > :11:22.which delays the main operation. A nurse was employed

:11:23. > :11:27.to speed up treatment from two months to 16 days,

:11:28. > :11:30.meaning a fifth more patients were able to complete surgery

:11:31. > :11:38.to remove their cancer. Cutting out the stent also said

:11:39. > :11:42.the NHS ?3,200 per patient. We save the NHS potentially ?200,000

:11:43. > :11:45.per year, with the number of patients that have surgery

:11:46. > :11:50.within our team. And so that, then, is a reproducible

:11:51. > :11:53.model that other units up and down Pancreatic cancer has

:11:54. > :11:57.a very low survival rate. It will be two years before doctors

:11:58. > :11:59.can say whether treating patients more quickly actually means

:12:00. > :12:02.that they live longer. And, if they do, that will beg

:12:03. > :12:05.the question as to whether or not other aggressive cancers should be

:12:06. > :12:09.treated more quickly. For now, Kate Rigby knows she has

:12:10. > :12:12.been given the best chance possible Pupils should be taught

:13:48. > :13:49.The Hexavalent vaccine will also immunise against five other diseases

:13:50. > :13:51.including diphtheria, polio, tetanus and whooping cough

:13:52. > :13:58.and replaces the current "five in one" injection.

:13:59. > :14:00.Health Protection Scotland is set to adopt a similar

:14:01. > :14:03.Let's get more detail from Joanne Yarwood,

:14:04. > :14:05.Head of Programmes for Immunisation at Public Health England

:14:06. > :14:18.Good morning, lovely to see you both. Barbara, can I start with you

:14:19. > :14:24.in terms of the detail of the new vaccinations? You will know full

:14:25. > :14:30.well that a lot of parents worry quite a bit about vaccinations

:14:31. > :14:35.anyway. You are adding one more. 5-6. Joanne, take us through, if you

:14:36. > :14:39.would come exactly what this would comprise of and allay any fears

:14:40. > :14:43.about another vaccine being included? Yes, we completely

:14:44. > :14:48.understand parents have concerns about the safety of their children

:14:49. > :14:52.and protecting them. But, this vaccine, as you have already

:14:53. > :14:56.described, adds another element of protection to their children, to

:14:57. > :15:02.protect them against some really serious and nasty infectious

:15:03. > :15:06.diseases. We are delighted that we can add and introduce this vaccine

:15:07. > :15:13.to babies born today, and add the extra protection into the programme.

:15:14. > :15:18.Barbara, is good to have you on the sofa with us, how will parents react

:15:19. > :15:23.to this? It is quite a worry, it's a stressful time when you take your

:15:24. > :15:27.baby for a vaccine, you are tense and you are waiting for the baby to

:15:28. > :15:32.be heard, and you worry about the consequences of the vaccine? Hearing

:15:33. > :15:34.there are six strains of immunisation, six diseases to

:15:35. > :15:39.immunise against seems a lot for a little one to take?

:15:40. > :15:45.When baby is born they're exposed to millions of diseases and viruses,

:15:46. > :15:52.changing a nappy, sitting in a waiting room, somebody coughing on

:15:53. > :15:58.you, far, far more than in a properly prepared vaccine. One of

:15:59. > :16:02.the examples given, on that first vaccination they get protection from

:16:03. > :16:07.nine different diseases. Not just the six, but another three on top.

:16:08. > :16:12.But if you were to give them 11 that would still only use up 0.1% of the

:16:13. > :16:20.baby's immune system. They are so well prepared. Can I just ask you

:16:21. > :16:24.about take up? In a GP's surgery, what's your practical knowledge of

:16:25. > :16:28.how many people take up? It's clearly voluntary, what's the take

:16:29. > :16:32.up? Well, we aim because we have targets in general practice, we aim

:16:33. > :16:38.more about 90%. Do you reach that? Not always. In some areas it can be

:16:39. > :16:41.as low as 80% and then there is a big drive to get the parents to

:16:42. > :16:46.understand how important it is. Often what we do is we combine the

:16:47. > :16:53.vaccination day with having the developmental check. Joanne, why

:16:54. > :16:58.now? Why are we seeing hepatitis B being added to the vaccine now?

:16:59. > :17:03.Where will we see a difference? Well, what we haven't discussed

:17:04. > :17:09.really is we have an expert committee that advises us on the

:17:10. > :17:12.additional vaccines that we maybe able to offer in our national

:17:13. > :17:18.programme. So they've considered all the evidence. They've looked at it

:17:19. > :17:23.and they advised that we should introduce this vaccine and babies

:17:24. > :17:27.born today, all babies born from today, will be able to have this

:17:28. > :17:32.vaccine so their first vaccine will be at eight weeks and we're really

:17:33. > :17:37.pleased, we worked really hard to ensure that our national programme,

:17:38. > :17:41.which really is amongst one of the best in the world, is able to offer

:17:42. > :17:49.protection to as many infants as we can. Is hepatitis B a problem at the

:17:50. > :17:54.moment in the UK? Well, the prevalence of hepatitis B is low in

:17:55. > :18:02.England, in the UK, but we are part of a global community and the World

:18:03. > :18:05.Health Organization has a commitment to protecting infants across the

:18:06. > :18:10.whole world with this vaccine and there are at the moment 97 countries

:18:11. > :18:15.that are already offering this vaccine and we know that more than

:18:16. > :18:20.150 million doses has been given. So this is part of the really hard work

:18:21. > :18:23.that everybody is doing to ensure that we can offer the best

:18:24. > :18:32.protection available to our children. Thank you. And Barbara

:18:33. > :18:38.Murray, Dr Barbara Murray, thank you for your time as well.

:19:00. > :19:03.Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

:19:04. > :19:10.Started off early this morning a little bit blustery where you are

:19:11. > :19:14.this morning on your little balcony overlooking London.

:19:15. > :19:22.Yes it was a bit breezy up here, but we are quite a few levels up. It

:19:23. > :19:25.feels pleasantly warm and we have got blue skies. This isn't the case

:19:26. > :19:30.everywhere, it is across some parts of the UK. The forecast for us today

:19:31. > :19:34.is one of heavy showers and bright or sunny spells. We have seen heavy

:19:35. > :19:38.showers already this morning especially across north-west England

:19:39. > :19:41.and Wales, but across Scotland, there are also some heavy showers

:19:42. > :19:45.coming in from the south, we have got them across the Highlands as

:19:46. > :19:49.well, the Outer Hebrides, but there is dry weather around. Still some

:19:50. > :19:53.heavy showers moving from north-west England heading across the Pennines

:19:54. > :20:00.through the day, but north-east England is dry and then as we come

:20:01. > :20:05.further south, across the Peak District and Essex, Kent and towards

:20:06. > :20:09.the Isle of Wight, a lot of dry weather, sunny skies, pleasantly

:20:10. > :20:13.warm and gentle breezes. Further west, we are looking at sunshine

:20:14. > :20:16.across Gloucestershire, Dorset, and south-west England seeing sunshine

:20:17. > :20:19.and just a few showers, but Wales, you've got a few showers. They have

:20:20. > :20:22.been lining up as we have gone through the course of the night.

:20:23. > :20:25.Some are heavy. For Northern Ireland, here too, we've got showers

:20:26. > :20:29.particularly in the north and the west. Further east, it is drier and

:20:30. > :20:32.brighter with sunshine. Now through the course of the day, further

:20:33. > :20:36.showers will develop. Some of them will be heavy. Some of them will be

:20:37. > :20:41.thundery. Some will have hail in. That combination is likely to be

:20:42. > :20:44.anywhere, from South Wales to the Wash, north of that line, but they

:20:45. > :20:47.are showers. So not all of us will see them. Further south, the showers

:20:48. > :20:51.will be less intense. Fewer and further between. And south-east

:20:52. > :20:55.England could escape them altogether, but we will see some in

:20:56. > :21:00.East Anglia. Through the evening and overnight, well, we are looking at a

:21:01. > :21:05.lot of the showers fading. It will be a chilly night in sheltered

:21:06. > :21:09.glens, but the cloud will build. We will see showers and some rain

:21:10. > :21:13.coming in. And that will be accompanied by strengthening winds.

:21:14. > :21:17.So tomorrow, we start off with a lot of dry weather, but watch how the

:21:18. > :21:22.rain spreads out as it moves north-east wards. That's going to be

:21:23. > :21:25.heavy and persistent across Wales and south-west England and southern

:21:26. > :21:29.counties and the wind will pick up touching gale force around some of

:21:30. > :21:31.the coasts and that rain will advance northwards through the

:21:32. > :21:35.courts day, but north-east Scotland should stay dry. So as a result of

:21:36. > :21:41.this rain and the wind, it will feel cooler than it's going to do today

:21:42. > :21:44.where it's going to feel warm. Into Thursday, we lose the rain.

:21:45. > :21:46.Overnight, it will clear off into the North Sea, but we will have a

:21:47. > :21:50.curl of showery rain coming in across parts of the north and the

:21:51. > :21:55.west, but many of us will have a dry day with highs once again back up

:21:56. > :21:59.into the low 20s, but it will be noticeably breezy. On Friday Naga

:22:00. > :22:07.and Charlie, it will be sunshine and showers again. But you're making

:22:08. > :22:11.sure you're hogging the sunshine. Oh, it's lovely. I know how Carlol

:22:12. > :22:19.feels. I love it. Enjoy it. Style bible British Vogue makes

:22:20. > :22:21.history today when Edward Enninful To bring in the changes he's

:22:22. > :22:25.recruited the film-maker Steve McQueen and the model,

:22:26. > :22:27.Naomi Campbell, but in the digital age when runway shows are live

:22:28. > :22:30.streamed is there still a demand Let's discuss this now

:22:31. > :22:42.with the fashion blogger, Bronwyn Cosgrave who was a features

:22:43. > :22:53.editor at British Vogue. Good morning. Thank you for staying

:22:54. > :22:59.up late for us. We've got a female Dr Scop who and now a male editor of

:23:00. > :23:04.Vogue. The times are changing. It's about time. I mean and I actually

:23:05. > :23:10.think this isn't about gender. There has been a lot in the press about

:23:11. > :23:15.Edward's appointment. I really feel that they picked the best person for

:23:16. > :23:22.the job. He has a track record that goes back decades. He started out on

:23:23. > :23:28.i-D magazine which is the great British style bible. He has worked

:23:29. > :23:35.in W Magazine in New York and for American Vogue. He is not an

:23:36. > :23:43.outsider. It's Edward Enninful OBE. He is great friends, the second son

:23:44. > :23:48.of Jonathan Newhouse who made the appointment, not the second son, the

:23:49. > :23:53.adopted son and close to the Newhouse family. He is a wonderful

:23:54. > :23:59.guy. Very imaginative. His great contribution so far was the black

:24:00. > :24:05.issue which was published in 2008 at Vogue Italia which was the first all

:24:06. > :24:13.black issue of Vogue. Also Vogue has had a man at the helm in the 1930s,

:24:14. > :24:17.he was the editor of Paris Vogue and continued into the 1950s and was a

:24:18. > :24:21.legendary character and men have constantly worked behind the scenes

:24:22. > :24:25.at British Vogue so now it's time for somebody to take up the reigns.

:24:26. > :24:31.That's the issue when it comes to what a man can do at the helm of

:24:32. > :24:35.such an iconic magazine, it is interesting Maria about blogging and

:24:36. > :24:41.the place of Vogue now. The place of a glossy magazine in our world and I

:24:42. > :24:47.noticed that last year, some US Vogue writers were openly critical

:24:48. > :24:55.of fashion bloggers, just basically saying, no to bloggers who change

:24:56. > :24:58.head to toe and paid to change, there is this competition to say

:24:59. > :25:04.well, who says what goes? And you are not the one to say it. Why

:25:05. > :25:08.should there be a competition. I feel you could include bloggers a

:25:09. > :25:11.lot more. It's not about a competition, it's about emgracing

:25:12. > :25:14.the fact that the fashion industry is changing. The people are

:25:15. > :25:19.embracing people like you who blog, isn't it? Yes. It is instant access.

:25:20. > :25:24.So by the time you get a magazine and we will get your view on this

:25:25. > :25:28.Bronwyn, by the time you get a magazine, it is out of date almost.

:25:29. > :25:32.I feel like the instant access is there, if you open a copy of a

:25:33. > :25:36.magazine, if you're going to find someone who you can relate to, it's

:25:37. > :25:40.difficult. If you have a disability, if you open a copy of Vogue, you are

:25:41. > :25:44.not likely going to see yourself represented in the pages, but you

:25:45. > :25:49.can go online and within seconds search and a hashtag find hundreds

:25:50. > :25:53.of people who are exactly like you. Maria, for your generation, is it

:25:54. > :25:57.still a big deal, what's on the cover of British Vogue? Is that

:25:58. > :26:04.still a big deal? It is personal to me because I have been a subscriber

:26:05. > :26:09.since 2011 and I recently cancelled my subscription. The current issue

:26:10. > :26:16.is on my desk in the packaging. What do you think of that? I actually, I

:26:17. > :26:24.don't think a mag dean is out of date. I think a weekly publication

:26:25. > :26:30.is out of date, but I think what a reader is looking at, looking to

:26:31. > :26:35.when one buys Vogue is analysis and expertise. You know, it's not easy

:26:36. > :26:39.to get a job at British Vogue, nor is it easy keeping a job at British

:26:40. > :26:45.Vogue. They demand the absolute best. A lot of research and a lot of

:26:46. > :26:51.intelligence and background goes into that magazine and you know

:26:52. > :26:55.blogging, fantastic, but it's more off-the-cuff, you know, over the

:26:56. > :26:59.last five years, yeah, I'd love to see British Vogue edited by a guest

:27:00. > :27:07.blogger. That didn't happen. I think there is a slight insecurity within

:27:08. > :27:20.the magazine establishment, about the whole social media landscape and

:27:21. > :27:24.I do think, you know, I do think that castigating bloggers was a

:27:25. > :27:31.misstep. Edward has over 5,000 Instagram followers and he appointed

:27:32. > :27:35.Steve McQueen and Naomi Campbell, all these independent professionals

:27:36. > :27:39.who to a certain extent rely on social media to keep building their

:27:40. > :27:43.brands and today, Vogue is no longer just a magazine, it is a brand and

:27:44. > :27:48.it has to compete with the best brands out there. Thank you very

:27:49. > :31:16.Vanessa Feltz is on BBC Radio London to you and Maria, thank you.

:31:17. > :31:18.Vanessa Feltz is on BBC Radio London until 10am but I will be back in

:31:19. > :31:23.half an hour on BBC One. Hello this is Breakfast with

:31:24. > :31:26.Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty. British Gas says that

:31:27. > :31:30.its electricity prices Let's get more detail

:31:31. > :31:43.from Sean who joins us now. These figures came in in the last

:31:44. > :31:49.hour, what are the numbers? Electricity prices on British Gas

:31:50. > :31:54.variable tariff will be up 12.5%. Gas prices will not be moving up.

:31:55. > :32:00.That is from September. About ?76 on the dual fuel bill for over 3

:32:01. > :32:05.million customers on British Gas. For the customers who get the warm

:32:06. > :32:10.home discount, they will get a rebate from the ?76 so in theory

:32:11. > :32:14.they will not see a rise. We were talking to the boss earlier and he

:32:15. > :32:19.said despite energy prices falling for them, they have had to pass on a

:32:20. > :32:23.price rise for domestic customers because of other costs. Transmission

:32:24. > :32:27.costs and government policy. The government had just sent me what

:32:28. > :32:31.their take on the price rise is this morning. They are concerned this

:32:32. > :32:35.price rise will hit many people on what they call poor value tariffs.

:32:36. > :32:39.They said the government policy costs make up a small proportion of

:32:40. > :32:46.household energy bills and cannot explain the rises today. We need the

:32:47. > :32:51.boss of Centrica and an energy minister and see what they agree.

:32:52. > :32:56.Because this toing and froing doesn't help anyone? No it doesn't.

:32:57. > :33:02.There is the transmission costs as well, which isn't government policy

:33:03. > :33:08.and isn't daily-macro is the costs going up at the energy companies. It

:33:09. > :33:15.is all about the marketplace, isn't it? Are others on similar rates?

:33:16. > :33:19.There are fixed rate deals you can switch to that are cheaper than

:33:20. > :33:23.standard variable tariffs. It is the regulators and the companies say.

:33:24. > :33:26.But the companies have to provide this standard tariff. Lots of people

:33:27. > :33:28.end up on it and lots of people don't switch away from it. Thank

:33:29. > :33:31.you. The White House communications

:38:30. > :38:37.much. From today, people studying to be

:38:38. > :38:40.nurses or midwives will no longer receive NHS bursaries,

:38:41. > :38:42.instead, they will have Applications for courses

:38:43. > :38:45.are down by more than 20%. The Government says it is providing

:38:46. > :38:48.funding for an extra 10,000 university places for students

:38:49. > :38:50.on nursing, midwifery and other We get rid of that and

:38:51. > :38:58.you've now got what? These second-year nursing students

:38:59. > :39:01.are getting their first look at the Anatomage Table

:39:02. > :39:05.using the latest technology to take a 3-D trip through

:39:06. > :39:09.a virtual human body. Their degree course at

:39:10. > :39:11.the University of Central Lancashire is funded by NHS bursaries

:39:12. > :39:15.and grants, but as of today applicants wanting to study nursing,

:39:16. > :39:19.midwifery and other medical courses will need a student loan in line

:39:20. > :39:24.with other undergraduates. So would it have

:39:25. > :39:30.deterred these students? I don't think it would have made

:39:31. > :39:33.a difference to myself because I really wanted to become

:39:34. > :39:37.a nurse and although the financial implications of not having a bursary

:39:38. > :39:40.would have impacted on me quite heavily, but I could have managed

:39:41. > :39:44.and my desire to become a nurse But applications for these courses

:39:45. > :39:54.have fallen by around 20%. Theories include doubts

:39:55. > :39:57.from European students about Brexit, a birthrate decline in the number

:39:58. > :40:02.of 18-year-olds as well as concerns The universities, though,

:40:03. > :40:09.are determined to see the numbers recover and here

:40:10. > :40:12.there's cautious optimism. We have seen a decline in the number

:40:13. > :40:15.of applications coming through, but they're good quality

:40:16. > :40:17.and so the key thing is that they convert

:40:18. > :40:22.into the numbers that we have. So I'm very positive

:40:23. > :40:25.at this moment in time One of the main areas of concern

:40:26. > :40:32.is the impact on mature students. Nursing and midwifery attract a much

:40:33. > :40:35.higher percentage of older applicants than other degree courses

:40:36. > :40:38.and their life experience is seen as a vital part

:40:39. > :40:46.of the mix on a ward. Sarah Cordey says a loan instead

:40:47. > :40:48.of a bursary would have stopped her changing career

:40:49. > :40:53.to become a midwife. To saddle students with a huge

:40:54. > :40:57.amount of debt when they are only ever able to earn

:40:58. > :41:00.what the government dictates they can earn, it doesn't seem

:41:01. > :41:04.to make sense to me and had I been making this decision now

:41:05. > :41:07.knowing that I would have to take on the debt,

:41:08. > :41:10.I couldn't have done it, no. The government argues that the cap

:41:11. > :41:12.on student places had previously restricted numbers and that changing

:41:13. > :41:15.the funding will lead to an increase But Les Green says he now can't

:41:16. > :41:26.afford to pursue his dream job. ?30,000, I'd be paying back

:41:27. > :41:35.until I finish probably my... I don't think I'd ever pay that off,

:41:36. > :41:50.I'd pay it until the rest All signs agree that the NHS

:41:51. > :41:54.is in dire need of more clinical staff but the debate centres on how

:41:55. > :41:57.to pay for them. We're joined now by Laura Serrant,

:41:58. > :42:01.a professor of nursing at Sheffield Hallam University

:42:02. > :42:03.and previously advised the Government on nursing

:42:04. > :42:14.and midwifery in England. Good morning. What do you make of

:42:15. > :42:18.these numbers, do they add up to you? We spoke to Jeremy Hunt

:42:19. > :42:24.yesterday talking about targets and getting more nurses in specifically

:42:25. > :42:28.into mental health, but overall, Bursaries are stopping and this

:42:29. > :42:34.September we need more nurses to start training in order to fulfil

:42:35. > :42:40.numbers, do they add up to you? It is not whether the numbers add up,

:42:41. > :42:43.but whichever point you start nurse training, it is three years before

:42:44. > :42:51.you see a qualified nurse. I suppose question is, if the challenge now

:42:52. > :42:56.and we are short of people, the increase is one thing, but it won't

:42:57. > :43:02.be an increase of the number of nurses and qualified in the system.

:43:03. > :43:07.So we will never have enough nurses? There is always people coming in and

:43:08. > :43:15.out and nursing is the largest profession. Most nursing every day

:43:16. > :43:19.is given in a hands-on way but the demand is always going to go up. But

:43:20. > :43:24.planning the workforce is always a longer term strategy. We do need to

:43:25. > :43:30.think about how we manage that now as well as in three years. How do

:43:31. > :43:36.some of these work out? The government said they will fund

:43:37. > :43:40.10,000 extra places, but not until 2020 or 2021, so when they said they

:43:41. > :43:45.will fund them, the Bursaries don't exist so students take out loans.

:43:46. > :43:51.They are paying for the tuition and their education. What is the funding

:43:52. > :43:55.element, this 10,000 funding, what is that? It is about being able to

:43:56. > :44:05.support that number of students in the system will stop but aren't they

:44:06. > :44:10.paying for it? I don't understand. We don't have much detail on how

:44:11. > :44:16.that funding will support the number of nurses we are talking about. The

:44:17. > :44:21.other thing to remember is, student nurses and midwives, other

:44:22. > :44:24.practitioners as well, speech therapists, radio therapists, we

:44:25. > :44:29.can't only train them within a university. This is a practice

:44:30. > :44:34.discipline, so people learn in practice. So for every extra student

:44:35. > :44:39.place, you will need extra places in hospitals and practice areas as

:44:40. > :44:42.well. It is not as simple to say, if we have more students in the

:44:43. > :44:47.university we will automatically have more practitioners. If they

:44:48. > :44:50.want to do this and have an impact, even within the three-year time

:44:51. > :44:58.frame, the only logical thing to do would be to create the places now?

:44:59. > :45:03.Not wait, is there any logic in waiting? There is no logic in

:45:04. > :45:06.waiting with the pressures we have now, but we have to look at other

:45:07. > :45:10.ways of actually solving the problem. We can't just increased the

:45:11. > :45:14.number of people coming in at one end of the system and then wait for

:45:15. > :45:18.them to come out at the other end. Issues like supporting people in

:45:19. > :45:21.practice, to get people to remain within nursing and not lose the

:45:22. > :45:30.number of people we already have. How do we support a workforce under

:45:31. > :45:33.pressure, but actually allow them to feel this is a good place to work?

:45:34. > :45:37.Nurses, midwives and other health care professionals work very hard.

:45:38. > :45:41.It is not an easy thing to do. It is nights, weekends, all the time we

:45:42. > :45:44.are awake or asleep, there is somebody working. We need to not

:45:45. > :45:47.only increase the number of students, but make sure the

:45:48. > :45:52.workforce has the support it needs to do a really hard job. What is the

:45:53. > :45:58.incentive at the moment to do this job when you have no support

:45:59. > :46:00.studying from September, 1% pay at the moment, increased hours or

:46:01. > :46:04.increased pressure because of reduced budgets, who is applying to

:46:05. > :46:14.be a nurse? In a hurry are very popular

:46:15. > :46:18.programmes. The issue was not so much in the number of people who

:46:19. > :46:22.might apply -- nursing and midwifery are very popular programmes. At

:46:23. > :46:26.Sheffield Hallam we have an average of five people applying for each

:46:27. > :46:30.place, in children's nursing admit with Riordan is even more, I am sure

:46:31. > :46:35.that is the same at other universities. It is a personal drive

:46:36. > :46:38.that makes people want to do this profession. I do not think we will

:46:39. > :46:42.lose people wanting to be nurses, midwives or speech therapists but we

:46:43. > :46:47.do not want to make it harder for them to achieve what they want to

:46:48. > :46:50.achieve. Thank you very much for your time, Professor.

:46:51. > :46:54.Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

:46:55. > :47:03.She has been hogging the sun, are you continuing to do so?

:47:04. > :47:08.Oh, yes! It is beautiful in London, the sun is beating down, feeling

:47:09. > :47:12.pleasantly warm on the roof of Broadcasting House. The forecast is

:47:13. > :47:17.not like this everywhere. For some, but not all. The forecast today is

:47:18. > :47:20.one of sunshine and showers. Some showers will be heavy and sunny with

:47:21. > :47:26.hail. We will not all see them. At 9am in

:47:27. > :47:33.Scotland we have rain around. You can see it in the charts. Some rain

:47:34. > :47:37.across southern Scotland, also a lot of dry weather. Temperatures in

:47:38. > :47:40.Edinburgh around 13 or 14. Heavy rain this morning in

:47:41. > :47:44.north-west England, there is still some around, some crossing the

:47:45. > :47:49.Pennines. Currently drive across most of north-east England. Across

:47:50. > :47:53.the Midlands, East Anglia, towards Kent at the Isle of Wight, sky is

:47:54. > :47:58.very similar to this. Big Sam pieces of code but also sunshine. West

:47:59. > :48:03.across Gloucestershire, Dorset had into the south-west of England, lots

:48:04. > :48:07.of dry weather with a few showers. Showers have been lining up for you

:48:08. > :48:12.in Wales. That is how we have started the day. Not as heavy as

:48:13. > :48:15.those across north-west England but you will notice them.

:48:16. > :48:18.Showers in the north and west of Northern Ireland, the East is

:48:19. > :48:23.predominantly dry. Through the day, further showers

:48:24. > :48:27.developing. If we drew a line from South Wales towards the wash, points

:48:28. > :48:30.north of that are more prone to the heavy showers with rain and thunder.

:48:31. > :48:35.We will not all have that combination and we will not all sea

:48:36. > :48:39.shallows. The showers are not as heavily further south, parts of the

:48:40. > :48:44.south-east could stay dry, East Anglia is likely to see showers.

:48:45. > :48:50.Highs of up to 23, gentle breezes. Feeling nice in the sunshine, the

:48:51. > :48:55.general range is 18 to 20. Many showers will try off tonight, a

:48:56. > :48:59.chilly night in the Glens of Scotland with temperatures into

:49:00. > :49:02.single figures. Increasing amounts of cloud, showers and then Raine and

:49:03. > :49:08.strengthening winds coming across south-west England and south-west

:49:09. > :49:11.Wales. Tomorrow, spreading north eastwards through the day. The

:49:12. > :49:16.heaviest and most persistent will be across Wales, south-west England in

:49:17. > :49:20.seven counties. The wind will strengthen, coastal gales in the

:49:21. > :49:27.south-west. That migrate northwards through the day, north-east Scotland

:49:28. > :49:31.should stay dry. Into Thursday, the rain will cross through the course

:49:32. > :49:36.of the night and then curl around the north and west, showery

:49:37. > :49:37.outbreaks but it will be dry for many but breezy, temperatures

:49:38. > :49:51.picking up once again. Carol, we will ask you something

:49:52. > :49:57.odd. Can we see your shoes? I am wearing trainers. That is allowed

:49:58. > :50:02.and sensible. Sensible workwear, you had to climb some stairs, you are on

:50:03. > :50:07.the balcony, health and safety is important. That absolutely works.

:50:08. > :50:10.We are doing a story about high hills and the pressure women find in

:50:11. > :50:19.the workplace if they are told by their bosses they have to. -- we're

:50:20. > :50:29.doing a story about high hills. Naga is wearing flat shoes as well. They

:50:30. > :50:32.are very comfortable. It is still the law that employers cannot offer

:50:33. > :50:40.workers a choice when it comes to heels.

:50:41. > :50:47.Doctor Heather Morgan is in Aberdeen. You say more has to be

:50:48. > :50:51.done to stop women from having to wear heels? You have looked at the

:50:52. > :50:55.physical impact of wearing high heels? Yes, we have looked at the

:50:56. > :51:01.physical impact of wearing high heels and we see that women are

:51:02. > :51:05.wearing high heels, they suffer from musculoskeletal conditions, bunions,

:51:06. > :51:11.pain, injury, negative health outcomes from wearing high heels.

:51:12. > :51:18.This review, you have done a review, the results will be published in a

:51:19. > :51:21.BMC Public health Journal, what will people find out? To be honest, I

:51:22. > :51:26.think of women know that if you wear high heels for a long time your feet

:51:27. > :51:33.ache, they don't feel good for a couple of hours, it is obvious it is

:51:34. > :51:36.not doing you good? Absolutely. For women and anybody wearing high

:51:37. > :51:39.heels, they need to be able to weigh up the risks and benefits. We looked

:51:40. > :51:44.at the negative health outcomes of wearing high heels but considered

:51:45. > :51:49.the social benefits. Many women enjoy wearing high heels because of

:51:50. > :51:52.the benefits that it brings, the cultural norms and social

:51:53. > :51:56.expectations. But we argue there should not be an expectation by

:51:57. > :52:00.employers that women should be wearing high heels as part of a

:52:01. > :52:04.uniform or an expectation that it is something they should wear to their

:52:05. > :52:10.place of work. At the moment we do not have clear legislation on that.

:52:11. > :52:13.We have the equality act, but we are finding that many women are

:52:14. > :52:19.implicitly expected to wear high heels, maybe up to a third. Where?

:52:20. > :52:23.In this job we are supposed to look smart and we try our best, I'm sure,

:52:24. > :52:26.but I have never been told and I am not sure my colleagues have been

:52:27. > :52:31.told that they had to wear high heels. Where do you have to wear

:52:32. > :52:35.high heels, as a woman or a man? And the same with me, there is no

:52:36. > :52:39.expectation. There was a survey within our review which included a

:52:40. > :52:45.study reporting that to a third of women feel there is some sort of

:52:46. > :52:48.social pressure. It is maybe not in writing or a code of dress, it might

:52:49. > :52:54.not even be, please wear high heels, simply saying that to you, but after

:52:55. > :52:58.we find women feel implicit pressure. It does not have to be

:52:59. > :53:01.explicit, there is sometimes implicit pressure on women to feel

:53:02. > :53:08.they are expected to wear heels in certain lines of work. Which lines

:53:09. > :53:10.of work? Reception jobs, office work, maybe you're being asked to

:53:11. > :53:15.show people around between rooms, they are the well -- they are the

:53:16. > :53:20.ones we found mostly. Where image is really important for the work. That

:53:21. > :53:25.is when women seem to be being asked or feel that they are being asked to

:53:26. > :53:29.wear high heels. It is good to talk to you, Dr Heather Morgan from

:53:30. > :53:34.Aberdeen University. Thank you for your time. Thank you.

:53:35. > :53:41.We are joined in the studio by the singer Charli XCX. We were doing a

:53:42. > :53:46.story about heels and the pressure whether it is from the workplace or

:53:47. > :53:50.your peers to wear high heels. You are a younger generation, you are

:53:51. > :53:55.wearing high heels today but is that because it is part of your

:53:56. > :54:00.performance? I don't actually wear high heels that often, I just wanted

:54:01. > :54:07.to match the sofa today. That is why I am rocking the red tone. Usually I

:54:08. > :54:12.am a trainers person. Sensible and practical. We will talk more about

:54:13. > :54:16.your new video, it is likely in keeping with the ethos, as I

:54:17. > :54:22.understand it, of the idea that you should be free to do things however

:54:23. > :54:26.you want and not stuck into stereotypes, male and female

:54:27. > :54:33.stereotypes? Right. With my video I basically wanted to flip the male

:54:34. > :54:39.gaze on its head, essentially. I directed the video and I basically

:54:40. > :54:45.got a lot of celebrities, musicians, actors, sports stars to star in a

:54:46. > :55:02.video. We can see them. Do you want to take us through who we are

:55:03. > :55:09.seeing? Charlie, the rapper, will I am, Mark Robinson, Stormzy... The

:55:10. > :55:14.posers are interesting, the scenarios. We honour getting into it

:55:15. > :55:17.yet but we have a pillow fight coming up, some provocative posing

:55:18. > :55:25.accent you waiting part of the body, lots of pink. Basically lots of ways

:55:26. > :55:29.that women are portrayed in videos, overly sexualised, perhaps, or

:55:30. > :55:36.stereotyped. This is an attempt, is it fair, to break down and challenge

:55:37. > :55:41.those stereotypes? I have to stress this is definitely not me pointing a

:55:42. > :55:48.finger or blaming the boys in this video or trying to make fun of them.

:55:49. > :55:52.This is something... I basically harass them into being in this

:55:53. > :55:59.video, continuously annoyed them and hit them up until they caved and

:56:00. > :56:04.said yes. I guess the whole idea is to... Yeah, use the stereotypical

:56:05. > :56:08.scenario is that girls are often seen in, the sexy pillow fight, the

:56:09. > :56:15.shower scene, the paddling pool, and presented to them and have them act

:56:16. > :56:19.it out. You often have that kind of thing where women are windowdressing

:56:20. > :56:24.behind the singer. That is a very common situation in videos. Totally,

:56:25. > :56:29.I made the active decision to not be in this video and have the guys do

:56:30. > :56:33.all the work. They were all so down. They got my vision completely, I

:56:34. > :56:37.mentioned the male gaze and they were all great, yeah, let's do it.

:56:38. > :56:46.They completely got it. I thought it was really cool. How take to shoot?

:56:47. > :56:50.Did it take ages? Just to tap them up must have taken a long time? So

:56:51. > :56:54.long. We started shooting in March and finished about two weeks before

:56:55. > :57:02.it came out, which was five days ago. It has been a long time.

:57:03. > :57:08.Everyone is really busy and has scheduled, oh, my gosh. It took a

:57:09. > :57:13.lot. We shot in LA, New York, London, the Coachella music

:57:14. > :57:19.festival. It is interesting the idea of control. Maybe you have to go

:57:20. > :57:22.back a few years now to when record labels would literally tell the

:57:23. > :57:26.artists, particularly maybe the female artists, literally what they

:57:27. > :57:32.should wear, how they should look, what their demeanour should be. Has

:57:33. > :57:38.that changed a lot? Especially over the past five years, I really do

:57:39. > :57:41.believe that has changed. I think lots of females in the industry are

:57:42. > :57:46.so vocal about their opinions on feminism and their experience in the

:57:47. > :57:50.music industry, and I think lots of female artists and artists in

:57:51. > :57:54.general are so much more in control of their own career now. Just

:57:55. > :57:59.because I feel like audiences are more intelligent, fans are cleverer,

:58:00. > :58:03.they understand the marketing am putting together of a pop star and

:58:04. > :58:08.they want somebody real, genuine and firm and not somebody built up. I

:58:09. > :58:15.think artists have to take control and run their own game to be

:58:16. > :58:20.successful. What are you more proud of, the musical video? I don't know.

:58:21. > :58:25.With this I think I am proud of the video just because this is my first

:58:26. > :58:29.time directing my own video, I have directed one video before, this is

:58:30. > :58:32.the first time doing my own. The video makes more of a statement

:58:33. > :58:38.about the song perhaps that the song does about the video, is that fair?

:58:39. > :58:43.I really feel would be quite easy to make a very cute sexy video of me

:58:44. > :58:48.singing about boys and I really didn't want to do that, I wanted

:58:49. > :58:55.to... There will be pressure on you to keep this up, keep this message

:58:56. > :59:02.up? That's OK. I think throughout my career I have been very vocal on my

:59:03. > :59:05.opinion about being a woman in the music industry. I get asked

:59:06. > :59:09.questions about feminism all the time and I am totally happy to

:59:10. > :59:18.answer them. At the same time I think I am not somebody who is

:59:19. > :59:22.worried about wearing revealing outfits are performing provocatively

:59:23. > :59:26.sometimes onstage. As long as that is my choice I am completely happy

:59:27. > :59:33.to do that. The second it is an instruction by a man or a record

:59:34. > :59:38.label then it is not cruel, otherwise it is good. Just for the

:59:39. > :59:43.record, I am not offended I was not called to be in the video. Next

:59:44. > :59:50.time! Of ice ages is an issue. All those young men.

:59:51. > :59:58.We will do an extended cut just for you. Just consider it next time.

:59:59. > :00:00.Just consider it. Britain's only surviving cloth

:00:01. > :00:07.hall reopens today after The Piece Hall in Halifax,

:00:08. > :00:11.West Yorkshire, was once the centre of the world's wool trade

:00:12. > :00:14.and since then it has been through a number

:00:15. > :00:19.of different incarnations. Fiona Lamdin is there

:00:20. > :00:32.for us this morning. It is a spectacular backdrop. It

:00:33. > :00:38.looks like you could be in Italy or Venice, Rome. Good morning, Fiona.

:00:39. > :00:43.You are right, it really does like we could be in Italy if you ignore

:00:44. > :00:51.the cloud. There is blue sky that way. This is over 200 years old and

:00:52. > :00:56.we have been looking back at its history.

:00:57. > :00:59.For the last two and a half centuries the Piece Hall has stood

:01:00. > :01:02.at the heart of Halifax, where in 1779 people came to trade

:01:03. > :01:08.There were at least 315 individual rooms built for the sale of cloth,

:01:09. > :01:13.from which clothiers would have sold the will to merchants.

:01:14. > :01:16.from which clothiers would have sold the wool to merchants.

:01:17. > :01:18.Merchants would have come from quite far afield,

:01:19. > :01:21.including on occasion from Europe, and the trade from the Piece Hall

:01:22. > :01:24.went back into Europe and also over to the Americas.

:01:25. > :01:26.All the wool came from local sheep woven by local families

:01:27. > :01:33.This is an example of the cloth most commonly sold in the Piece Hall

:01:34. > :01:36.and as you can feel, it's pretty hard wearing, isn't it?

:01:37. > :01:40.This was largely used by the military so it would have

:01:41. > :01:51.This is the country's only surviving intact cloth hall with 315

:01:52. > :01:54.individual yet identical trading rooms.

:01:55. > :01:58.It seems such a waste this beautiful building was only open back then

:01:59. > :02:05.in the 18th century for trading for two hours every week.

:02:06. > :02:08.But after the Industrial Revolution the cloth was mainly made and sold

:02:09. > :02:11.In its place the Piece Hall was filled with fruit

:02:12. > :02:19.But a century on, in the 1970s, this is how the Piece Hall looked,

:02:20. > :02:22.a blot on the landscape, threatened to be flattened to make

:02:23. > :02:28.One of those who fought to save it back then was Mary Crossley.

:02:29. > :02:46.When I first came in it was all black, there were sheds around

:02:47. > :02:51.the edge and warehouses in the middle and vehicles.

:02:52. > :03:04.When I came up onto the balcony I remember there were holes

:03:05. > :03:16.To start with there were only three of us for quite a long time

:03:17. > :03:18.and there wasn't much to start with but it developed gradually.

:03:19. > :03:21.It's hoped this historical hall will place Halifax back on the map.

:03:22. > :03:25.238 years on as the shelves fill up, this is a new chapter for this town,

:03:26. > :03:28.but nothing is new for these old stones who have witnessed

:03:29. > :03:38.In the next half an hour, those grand old doors will be opening. You

:03:39. > :03:43.can see the queues forming as the public will be able to come in here

:03:44. > :03:48.for the first time. David, your family were actually here right on

:03:49. > :03:54.day one all those years ago? Yes, nearly 240 years ago, we were

:03:55. > :03:58.trading here and we had four rooms at the peace all behind us. Trading

:03:59. > :04:05.in textiles and we have been trading in textiles ever since. What does it

:04:06. > :04:10.feel like, knowing in the next hour, trading will be going on again? It

:04:11. > :04:14.is terrific to see a place like there's open up again after years of

:04:15. > :04:20.deterioration. It is lovely, it is going to be a great success. Coming

:04:21. > :04:24.over to Hannah Cockroft, the Paralympian, who will be sounding

:04:25. > :04:30.the bell. You will be starting the trading at ten a:m., good morning.

:04:31. > :04:37.What does this place mean to you? Growing up here, it has been a big

:04:38. > :04:41.part of your life? This is home to me, my mum brought me here to the

:04:42. > :04:46.markets. They used to be a stage here, used to sing with the Halifax

:04:47. > :04:50.Young singers. It has played a massive part and coming home from

:04:51. > :04:56.London 2012, this is where Halifax greeted me and welcomes me home.

:04:57. > :05:00.What was that like? It was incredible, I think there were 3000

:05:01. > :05:05.people in here. Would love to see more today but just some of my

:05:06. > :05:10.favourite memories because this is one of my favourite places in the

:05:11. > :05:15.world. It is brilliant there is no cobbles, what do you love about the

:05:16. > :05:20.renovation? It is easier to get around. It used to be cobbles and

:05:21. > :05:25.even for my homecoming, I had to come in in a car because I couldn't

:05:26. > :05:30.get across to the stage. Now I can get to every shop, there are lives

:05:31. > :05:35.now and every level is accessible. New shops, all of which I can get in

:05:36. > :05:41.and around. It is such a treat to have it and have the heart of

:05:42. > :05:45.Halifax back. Thank you. Hannah will be ringing this bell, up there in an

:05:46. > :05:52.hour to officially mark the start of trading again here. It has been

:05:53. > :05:55.interesting looking round, it is always nice when you feel you have

:05:56. > :05:57.discovered a place. I know people locally knew it was there and were

:05:58. > :06:00.familiar with it, but there you go. I will be back with the lunchtime

:06:01. > :07:42.Matt Haig in a moment, I will be back with the lunchtime

:07:43. > :07:51.news at 1:30pm on BBC One. Have a good morning. Goodbye.

:07:52. > :07:54.The issue of depression has featured heavily in Matt Haig's work.

:07:55. > :07:57.His memoir Reasons to Stay Alive catalogued his fight

:07:58. > :08:02.What might surprise many of his fans is that his new novel,

:08:03. > :08:05.about a 400-year-old history teacher was again inspired by his own

:08:06. > :08:20.In a moment we will go to the thinking behind the book, but how

:08:21. > :08:27.can you be 400 years old? If you have made a condition called Anna

:08:28. > :08:31.cheerier. You are not immortal, you are ageing but you are ageing much

:08:32. > :08:36.slower. So in 15 years of normal time, he will age worn biological

:08:37. > :08:44.year. People will think along the lines of vampires. They have

:08:45. > :08:48.age-related stuff going on? Yes, but they are often stuck at an Isa Ben

:08:49. > :08:53.Ryan age and useful all the time. But this condition means you will

:08:54. > :09:03.end up being old for a very, very long time. The teacher in this book

:09:04. > :09:11.is around what? He looks around 41, he is pretending to be 41. In what

:09:12. > :09:16.you do with him, he is a history teacher, his process in life and the

:09:17. > :09:20.rules that apply to his life, don't fall in love, basically move around

:09:21. > :09:27.so you are not recognise. Change your name now and again. How has

:09:28. > :09:35.mental health issues been linked with this? It is a total fantasy,

:09:36. > :09:40.but it is quite autobiographical because I put a lot of my own

:09:41. > :09:44.experience about having a condition, you are keeping secrets or otherwise

:09:45. > :09:51.it is invisible, but you are carrying this baggage. And the thing

:09:52. > :09:56.about depression, it plays tricks on time. Time is relative. When I was

:09:57. > :10:02.sort of ill continuously, ill for about three years, I came out and

:10:03. > :10:05.felt like I was almost 400 years old. Even now, that feels like half

:10:06. > :10:09.my life because if you have got something that is painful, it

:10:10. > :10:15.doesn't have to be mental illness but any trauma going on in your

:10:16. > :10:19.life, time seems to slow and you are trapped in that moment. Rather than

:10:20. > :10:24.write a novel directly about back, it would be more interesting to

:10:25. > :10:32.explode that idea, little eyes it is someone being for centuries years

:10:33. > :10:36.old. Does writing help you? Massively. Reading and writing saved

:10:37. > :10:41.my life. I know it sounds melodramatic, but to be able to

:10:42. > :10:46.write down what I was feeling at the time was very, very therapeutic.

:10:47. > :10:50.Also writing fiction is therapeutic. When reality gets too much and makes

:10:51. > :10:54.you feel quite claustrophobic, fiction is like comedy of the room

:10:55. > :11:00.you can go to and have breathing space. You mention part of the

:11:01. > :11:04.conditions in which your characters live this extraordinary lifetime. It

:11:05. > :11:15.is like a curse, isn't it? Can't fall in love? Can't fall in love.

:11:16. > :11:18.Can't fall in love. I am a hypochondriac, think I'm going to

:11:19. > :11:28.fall down dead any minute. We all want to live for ever, but imagine

:11:29. > :11:32.living for four centuries and it will not be a piece of cake. The

:11:33. > :11:36.things he has seen, I have read the early part of the book, things crop

:11:37. > :11:43.up, treble things which he has seen along the way. The witch trials,

:11:44. > :11:47.vampires, it is the unknown and dealing with people who don't like

:11:48. > :11:52.others who are different? Absolutely. In Elizabethan times,

:11:53. > :11:55.there were all sorts of superstitions, but it would be

:11:56. > :12:00.interesting to have, even now, there would be reasons to keep it in the

:12:01. > :12:07.closet. If you had the choice, would you like to live for 400 years? It

:12:08. > :12:13.would be hard to say no to. I would say no, immediately. I would say

:12:14. > :12:17.yes. I am scared of my mortality. I think it would be a terrible thing,

:12:18. > :12:21.I don't know. It would be OK if everyone around you would live for

:12:22. > :12:27.400 years, but if you were the only person. It would be dreadful. No,

:12:28. > :12:32.you would get to see so much of the world. There are references to

:12:33. > :12:39.points in history, there is a balance to be made with things like

:12:40. > :12:43.that because you cannot avoid it but it cannot be too laden with history?

:12:44. > :12:54.It is history, but he is remembering it in the present. Even when he

:12:55. > :13:02.talks about smartphones, he is remembering Shakespeare. What is

:13:03. > :13:07.next? What is next? Well, the film rights have been sold to that, so I

:13:08. > :13:19.may have some involvement with the screenplay. Did I read Benedict

:13:20. > :13:22.Cumberbatch? You did. Will you be confirming Benedict Cumberbatch? I

:13:23. > :13:27.think I am OK to do that, he will be playing the main character. There is

:13:28. > :13:30.such a solid group of people. I am happy to get on with the next thing.

:13:31. > :13:32.Been a pleasure to talk to you. Matt Haig's book is

:13:33. > :13:35.called How to Stop Time.
