:00:00. > :00:10.This is Breakfast with Steph McGovern and Naga Munchetty.

:00:11. > :00:13.Hundreds of mental health patients are kept waiting to be discharged

:00:14. > :00:19.from hospital, despite being medically fit to leave.

:00:20. > :00:22.Research for the BBC finds some have faced delays of up to three years.

:00:23. > :00:33.Many more have had to wait for over six months.

:00:34. > :00:52.Also this morning: Nearly 200 buildings in England are now known

:00:53. > :00:55.to have failed safety tests on cladding and insulation

:00:56. > :01:00.We'll speak to the man in charge of making them safe.

:01:01. > :01:06.Britain's big business bosses earned ?4.5 million on average last year.

:01:07. > :01:10.That's down nearly 20%, but can that level of pay be justified?

:01:11. > :01:18.It's a big night for English football as the Lionesses play

:01:19. > :01:21.the Netherlands in the semi-finals of the Women's Euros.

:01:22. > :01:25.I'm out on the training pitch this morning to see how the excitement

:01:26. > :01:40.We're asking if any footballer is worth the record breaking ?200

:01:41. > :01:43.million expected to be paid for Neymar to move from Barcelona

:01:44. > :01:48.And five weeks into a bin strike that's left rubbish piling up

:01:49. > :01:51.on the streets of Birmingham, we meet the volunteers taking

:01:52. > :02:03.Good morning. Today we are looking at a day of sunshine and showers,

:02:04. > :02:06.the heaviest across Scotland, northern England and Northern

:02:07. > :02:11.Ireland with a wee bit of thunder thrown in and in between quite a bit

:02:12. > :02:14.of sunshine, though it is going to the windy, especially for England

:02:15. > :02:18.and why. I will have more in 15 minutes. Thanks, see you in a bit.

:02:19. > :02:25.Research by BBC News has revealed that some mental health patients

:02:26. > :02:28.are waiting more than three years to be discharged from hospital

:02:29. > :02:32.Figures from across the UK, obtained through Freedom

:02:33. > :02:34.of Information requests, show that at least five patients

:02:35. > :02:37.have waited more than three years, while hundreds have been waiting

:02:38. > :02:41.NHS England says its providing ?400 million to help

:02:42. > :02:51.Our social affairs correspondent Michael Buchanan reports.

:02:52. > :03:02.It helps when I am bored or anything and I haven't got anything to do.

:03:03. > :03:06.Toni lives with five other people in supported accommodation.

:03:07. > :03:08.The 32-year-old suffers from schizophrenia and a personality

:03:09. > :03:17.She has spent almost half her life in psychiatric hospitals.

:03:18. > :03:22.But arguments over who should pay for her care means she spent months

:03:23. > :03:29.longer in hospital than she needed to.

:03:30. > :03:31.I would see other people leaving before me.

:03:32. > :03:33.I thought I was ready for a long time.

:03:34. > :03:39.Many psychiatric patients would recognise her experience.

:03:40. > :03:42.We've discovered that at least five patients waited more than three

:03:43. > :03:48.More than 300 spent six months longer in hospital

:03:49. > :03:53.Often people are in a revolving door of hospital placement and they don't

:03:54. > :04:01.get into community placement because it is too significant a step.

:04:02. > :04:04.By providing a comprehensive package of support, we hope

:04:05. > :04:20.The complex is provided by a national charity who say

:04:21. > :04:26.She says she will soon move into a small bungalow

:04:27. > :04:33.Too many mental health patients are being denied a similar chance.

:04:34. > :04:37.In just over an hour we'll hear more on this issue from the Royal College

:04:38. > :04:40.Children from the very poorest families in some parts of England

:04:41. > :04:42.are continuing to fall further behind at school.

:04:43. > :04:45.The Education Policy Institute says by the end of secondary school,

:04:46. > :04:48.the most disadvantaged children can be two years behind their peers.

:04:49. > :04:51.The government says it's directing an extra ?72 million into areas

:04:52. > :05:08.It starts in primary school and widens in the years that followed,

:05:09. > :05:13.the attainment gap between poorer and wealthier children. Now, for

:05:14. > :05:18.some disadvantaged kids that gap did close slightly over the last decade.

:05:19. > :05:22.But when you look at the very poorest children, it didn't. The

:05:23. > :05:26.report calculates that by the time they sit their GCSEs they are two

:05:27. > :05:31.years behind. But the picture does vary nationwide. You can speculate

:05:32. > :05:36.that funding would be a factor in certain parts of the country. We

:05:37. > :05:40.know that aspirations are quite important, and cultural expectations

:05:41. > :05:45.as well. So, I think all of these things will be having, and more,

:05:46. > :05:48.we'll be having an influence. Disadvantaged children are more

:05:49. > :05:54.likely to earn less in future and suffer bad health. Put simply, it

:05:55. > :05:58.leads to wasted potential. The Department for Education says there

:05:59. > :06:01.is over ?2 billion this year to support schools in this area, and

:06:02. > :06:07.money to help young people in so-called social mobility cold

:06:08. > :06:11.spots. Today's report acknowledges there has been progress overall but

:06:12. > :06:16.the conclusion - it is far too slow. If the rate of change over the last

:06:17. > :06:17.decade continues the study says it would take a staggering 50 years for

:06:18. > :06:22.the gap is closed. More than 100 buildings have failed

:06:23. > :06:25.the latest fire safety test, implemented in the wake

:06:26. > :06:28.of the Grenfell Tower fire. It was the second in a set of six

:06:29. > :06:32.tests ordered by the government and takes the number of buildings

:06:33. > :06:35.that don't meet current regulations The BBC has learnt that cladding

:06:36. > :06:38.and insulation panels failed the test within seven minutes

:06:39. > :06:42.of being set alight. We'll be speaking to the chair

:06:43. > :06:46.of the panel in charge of making buildings safe after

:06:47. > :06:51.Grenfell at around 7:40am. The Venezuelan President,

:06:52. > :06:53.Nicolas Maduro, has dismissed allegations of fraud

:06:54. > :06:55.in the country's controversial A company based in London,

:06:56. > :06:59.responsible for providing the voting system, has claimed electoral

:07:00. > :07:01.authorities inflated the turn-out The opposition has called for more

:07:02. > :07:11.mass demonstrations. A cot death charity has raised

:07:12. > :07:15.concerns over the use of Finnish-style baby boxes designed

:07:16. > :07:18.for newborns to sleep in. The cardboard box,

:07:19. > :07:20.filled with baby products and a mattress, became synonymous

:07:21. > :07:23.with record-low infant mortality They're now given to new parents

:07:24. > :07:28.by some NHS trusts, but the Lullaby Trust warns

:07:29. > :07:30.there is no evidence that they reduce the likelihood

:07:31. > :07:39.of sudden infant death syndrome. It's been revealed that it

:07:40. > :07:42.would take the average UK worker 160 years to earn what a top chief

:07:43. > :07:46.executive earns in just one. Sean's got more on the latest report

:07:47. > :07:59.on what the country's bosses Loads in the news about pay, so this

:08:00. > :08:06.is timely. It is, and continues a similar story we heard about BBC pay

:08:07. > :08:10.as well. This is the FTSE 100 bosses, the 100 biggest companies on

:08:11. > :08:14.the stock exchange people can invest in, pension funds invested in these

:08:15. > :08:19.companies, so what goes on is important. The average pay fell 20%

:08:20. > :08:25.last year to four and a half million on average each. That is to do with

:08:26. > :08:29.investors and shareholders kicking up a fuss more than previously on

:08:30. > :08:34.bass's pay and talked about how they should do more to use their power to

:08:35. > :08:38.reduce executive pay. It seems they are starting to do that now. When

:08:39. > :08:43.you look at the detail it has gone down partly because Martin Sorrell,

:08:44. > :08:49.who is boss of WPP, the advertising company, his pay fell from ?75

:08:50. > :08:57.million to ?48 million, which has a big effect on the average figures.

:08:58. > :09:01.And you mentioned it takes the average worker to earn that money

:09:02. > :09:04.and the issue around women's pay is noticeably different. Six bosses in

:09:05. > :09:10.the FTSE 100 are women and on average they earn 2.6 million, ?1

:09:11. > :09:14.million on average less than the average male. We will talk about

:09:15. > :09:18.this in half an hour, looking at the issue of why company bosses are not

:09:19. > :09:23.paid the same. You have to balance it share price, profit, performance,

:09:24. > :09:28.targets, to see if they match up as well. And the FTSE 100 has done well

:09:29. > :09:32.over the last year. They are getting a pay cut while the share price is

:09:33. > :09:37.increasing. High pay has been talked about for a while. They haven't got

:09:38. > :09:40.anything on this next man. No, nothing. This is eye watering.

:09:41. > :09:42.Brazilian striker Neymar will become the most expensive footballer

:09:43. > :09:45.in history when he completes his transfer from Barcelona to Paris St

:09:46. > :09:49.The French club have agreed to pay nearly ?198 million to release him

:09:50. > :10:07.The 25-year-old is expected to earn ?40 million a year before tax.

:10:08. > :10:17.Neymar gave me the green light in August, so I went to Barcelona with

:10:18. > :10:21.a proposal from PSG for a pay clause that will be done in the next few

:10:22. > :10:22.hours. We will talk about that through the programme.

:10:23. > :10:25.The UK has become a nation of binge watchers according to research

:10:26. > :10:35.It suggests that eight in ten adults now view multiple episodes

:10:36. > :10:37.of their favourite shows in a single sitting.

:10:38. > :10:44.It is really not good if you have to get up early the next morning. And

:10:45. > :10:45.it is ten o'clock and you are like, oh, just one more episode.

:10:46. > :10:49.However, most of us still watch at least some live TV each week.

:10:50. > :10:51.Our entertainment correspondent Lizo Mzimba has more.

:10:52. > :10:57.For decades TV watching was something families often enjoyed

:10:58. > :11:01.together. Now, increasingly, the different generations are enjoying

:11:02. > :11:07.TV in different ways. We need to get back. According to Ofcom watching

:11:08. > :11:11.multiple episodes of this series back-to-back is something done

:11:12. > :11:17.weekly by only around one in six adults over the age of 64. But it is

:11:18. > :11:22.the norm for more than half of all teenagers either using catch up

:11:23. > :11:28.services like the iPlayer or streaming services like Netflix and

:11:29. > :11:32.Amazon, often to ensure they have watched an episode before spoilers

:11:33. > :11:37.appear on social media. The thing is the young generation is inherently

:11:38. > :11:40.impatient, so everything they want they have instantly. If they have

:11:41. > :11:44.watched episode one and they are desperate for the second episode,

:11:45. > :11:48.they want it now. Younger adults are also the biggest viewers of online

:11:49. > :11:51.services in general with three quarters of them watching

:11:52. > :11:56.subscription on demand or streaming services. But older viewers are not

:11:57. > :12:01.being totally left behind. Overall around eight out of ten adults have

:12:02. > :12:06.at some point taken advantage of the recent technology to watch more than

:12:07. > :12:13.one episode of a series at a time. Even so, despite the growing

:12:14. > :12:16.popularity of everything from the iPlayer to Netflix, the overwhelming

:12:17. > :12:22.majority of TV is still watched live.

:12:23. > :12:27.It was a big night for English football.

:12:28. > :12:30.The Lionesses play the Netherlands in the semi-finals of the women's

:12:31. > :12:37.My favourite IIc. Absolutely brilliant. -- to see.

:12:38. > :12:40.Is the sport on target when it comes to bringing girls

:12:41. > :12:42.and young women onto the pitch though?

:12:43. > :12:45.Mike is at the Manchester City's academy for us this morning.

:12:46. > :12:51.Morning, Mike. Yes, good morning. They are putting me through my paces

:12:52. > :12:56.early on. Yes, the academy, the community players getting involved.

:12:57. > :12:59.And they have certainly been inspired by the success of the

:13:00. > :13:05.Lionesses not in this tournament only but in the World Cup, and in

:13:06. > :13:10.2009, when England reached the semifinals of the Euros to beat the

:13:11. > :13:16.Netherlands, ironically enough. So, will history repeat? In terms of how

:13:17. > :13:22.it is inspiring, well, evidence is clear, with a 19% increase since

:13:23. > :13:26.2011, and the FA say football is the biggest sport for women in this

:13:27. > :13:31.country. Sorry, just got in your way. We will be glued to the TV and

:13:32. > :13:34.radio this evening cheering on the Lionesses, the highest ranked team

:13:35. > :13:40.in the competition, and the girls over their want meat to put in as

:13:41. > :13:45.they get some training in at the academy. Oh, dear. It was too low.

:13:46. > :13:50.Almost a chance. Plenty more. We will speak with some former

:13:51. > :13:56.Manchester City players later on here at the Etihad academy. Thanks

:13:57. > :14:00.very much, Mike. I am glad they are putting you through your paces. You

:14:01. > :14:06.need it. I am not sure about the sportswear. Have you seen how out of

:14:07. > :14:09.breath he is? You wanted to see shorts? I do. No, we don't. It is

:14:10. > :14:13.too early! See later, Mike. Here's Carol with a look

:14:14. > :14:23.at this morning's weather. Well, looking at the map, it looks

:14:24. > :14:28.hot in places. Absolutely, yes. There has been record-breaking heat

:14:29. > :14:35.yesterday in Corsica, temperatures reaching 44 degrees. Rome, 43

:14:36. > :14:42.degrees. Today, 42 in Rome and the heat extends three Italy into the

:14:43. > :14:47.Balkans. We have a red warning in place. If you add the humidity,

:14:48. > :14:52.there are nasty situations. It is life-threatening heat and there is a

:14:53. > :14:56.shortage of water in Italy, the equivalent of the whole lake Como, a

:14:57. > :15:03.round 22 billion cubic metres of water. That is a lot of deficit. The

:15:04. > :15:07.heat is going to continue. We have a different scenario at home. Sunny

:15:08. > :15:12.spells, heavy showers and windy across England and Wales. This

:15:13. > :15:15.morning, quite a lot of showers, they will develop further through

:15:16. > :15:20.the day, rotating around this low pressure area. You can see from the

:15:21. > :15:23.squeeze on the isobars across England and Wales that we are

:15:24. > :15:31.looking at windy conditions. We also have showers. If anything further

:15:32. > :15:35.south. There is a lot of dry weather around and sunshine. On either side

:15:36. > :15:40.of the showers you will also see some sunshine. Further north into

:15:41. > :15:43.northern England, Ireland and Scotland, showers are more prolific

:15:44. > :15:48.today, not just this morning, some with hail and thunder and lightning

:15:49. > :15:52.embedded in them. This is yesterday's rain ensconced across

:15:53. > :15:55.the Northern Isles. Through the day the showers will rattle quickly

:15:56. > :16:00.across England and Wales on the wind. There will be bright and

:16:01. > :16:03.sunniest is in between. Heavier showers across Scotland and Northern

:16:04. > :16:07.Ireland continue. Even so there will be some sunshine in between. The

:16:08. > :16:13.rain continuing to move steadily northwards. Temperatures 14- 22 out

:16:14. > :16:18.of the wind. Into the sunshine and it is 22 and feeling nice. The cough

:16:19. > :16:24.at Kingsbarns not far from Saint Andrews can expect showers and some

:16:25. > :16:30.can be heavy with highs of around 20 degrees -- golf. Overnight, well, we

:16:31. > :16:35.will have the wind to start with and there will be a lot of dry weather

:16:36. > :16:39.around with showers. The rain coming south across Scotland into the north

:16:40. > :16:47.and west. Temperatures 13- 15 degrees. Into tomorrow, a lot of dry

:16:48. > :16:51.weather around. Yes, there will be showers. A low pressure centre in

:16:52. > :16:54.the North Sea. We are pulling the showers around that across Northern

:16:55. > :16:58.Ireland and into northern England with one or two popping up almost

:16:59. > :17:01.anywhere. We are looking at sunshine in between. I don't want to paint a

:17:02. > :17:13.really gloomy picture. We will see a rash of showers and we

:17:14. > :17:17.could see them almost anyway. Not all of us will catch them. Lots of

:17:18. > :17:23.dry weather around as well. Hires 13- 21.

:17:24. > :17:31.Thank you, Carol. You know how much we love you, we could never protect

:17:32. > :17:36.price on you. You know that. The only reason I say that it is,

:17:37. > :17:40.obviously Neymar is loved, but not as loved as Carol, because you can

:17:41. > :17:47.put a price on Neymar. Yeah. What do you make of it? It is a lot of

:17:48. > :17:52.money, that is they are. ?198 million! For a footballer. Shall we

:17:53. > :17:55.go through the facts? We were trying to think of what else you could buy

:17:56. > :17:59.for ?198 million. Well, ?198 million buys you three

:18:00. > :18:01.Boeing 737-700 passenger planes. It is enough to match the cost

:18:02. > :18:05.of the GDP of six countries, including Tuvalu

:18:06. > :18:06.in the South Pacific. You could also buy 440 million

:18:07. > :18:11.individual pints of milk - that's enough to fill 100

:18:12. > :18:26.Olympic-size swimming pools. If you want to visualise that, 100

:18:27. > :18:31.Olympic swimming pools. That is lots of milk. I think PSG made the right

:18:32. > :18:37.decision. Has the Financial Times done a more smart analysis? What,

:18:38. > :18:41.measuring them in milk is not smart? Well, the fact that it makes the

:18:42. > :18:45.front page of the Financial Times, offer a start. They have spoken

:18:46. > :18:49.quite a bit about the Qatar links. PSG have strong links with Qatar.

:18:50. > :18:54.Barcelona used to have strong links with Qatar until recently, when

:18:55. > :19:00.Cattai rail lines used to sponsor Barcelona, but that has dropped. --

:19:01. > :19:03.Katter airlines. There is some talk about Neymar being an ambassador for

:19:04. > :19:08.them. There are financial FairPlay issues. If you just look at the

:19:09. > :19:12.business side of it, football clubs in and around Europe are supposed to

:19:13. > :19:17.make money every year, not get into losses. But his name, it is not just

:19:18. > :19:22.the money that he is earning from, here, it is on the back pages, it is

:19:23. > :19:28.not just his salary, is it? It is endorsements and other things as

:19:29. > :19:33.well. Exactly. Agents' fees, some of those are our watering. The people

:19:34. > :19:37.who work around him are making huge amounts off this. One agent

:19:38. > :19:42.involved, it might have been his father, he was being paid more than

:19:43. > :19:47.Lionel Messi. Yes, he gets more than Lionel Messi's football salary.

:19:48. > :19:52.Crazy. We were looking at this story yesterday. The Guardian put this

:19:53. > :19:55.down as the final engagement, but it will not be the final engagement of

:19:56. > :20:01.the Duke of Edinburgh. It is his last official public and --

:20:02. > :20:05.engagement. We're not watching yesterday morning, Steph? We were

:20:06. > :20:09.told this. They said he would continue doing work with his

:20:10. > :20:13.charities. The major events, he was still accompany Her Majesty the

:20:14. > :20:19.Queen, but he has taken a step. He is 96. He is on many front pages

:20:20. > :20:24.today. We were at an event with him not long ago, Carol and are, and he

:20:25. > :20:28.is such a chip of local for his age. That is how I want to be like. He is

:20:29. > :20:33.on the front page of the Daily Telegraph as well. A lovely picture

:20:34. > :20:37.of him. After 65 years of selfless service and more than 22,000

:20:38. > :20:41.official engagements, Prince Philip is deserving of the nation's

:20:42. > :20:47.gratitude. And the front page of the times. Do you know much about this

:20:48. > :20:51.story of Lloyd's being sued for $10 million? It is to do with the

:20:52. > :20:57.cancellation of one of Kanye West's tours. I have not looked into this

:20:58. > :21:03.in great detail. Lloyds are a big insurance company. Yes. There are

:21:04. > :21:07.questions about cancellations in his tour. A nice way to get in the

:21:08. > :21:11.headlines again, isn't it? Whether or not he will be successful in

:21:12. > :21:22.suing them will be interesting. Any more? An interesting story here.

:21:23. > :21:25.Asda profits plunged 20% yesterday, sales down nearly 6%. One of the

:21:26. > :21:30.nation's supermarkets not doing well at the all -- not doing well at all

:21:31. > :21:34.at the moment. William Hill saying they have seen a large increase in

:21:35. > :21:39.betting on women's sport this summer, ?3 million on the women's

:21:57. > :22:01.a nice name. See, that theory works. That is what I have always done.

:22:02. > :22:06.There are many different ways. Do you talk to your neighbours? Do they

:22:07. > :22:10.ever come around for a cup of tea? I recently moved, so I have to put in

:22:11. > :22:16.more effort. You should bake a cake. OK. I suppose I have committed now.

:22:17. > :22:19.When I moved into a house, that is what the neighbours did, they sent

:22:20. > :22:23.the kids round with a plate of Brownies. It became a tradition. We

:22:24. > :22:26.are talking about that today. Whether not you ask your neighbours

:22:27. > :22:31.to what your plans on holiday, or where the often pop around.

:22:32. > :22:34.Apparently not many of us do. A survey by the social networking app

:22:35. > :22:38.Nextdoor found that nearly 50% of us do not know our neighbours well, or

:22:39. > :22:42.at all. Nearly half of us feel that the neighbourhood we grew up in was

:22:43. > :22:45.friendlier and safer than the one we live in now. Rose tinted glasses,

:22:46. > :22:49.perhaps. Max Chambers from Nextdoor joins us. Good morning. Thank you

:22:50. > :22:55.for talking to us. What have you found out in this survey? This

:22:56. > :22:59.research, we have essentially found that sense of community that we used

:23:00. > :23:04.to have in the United Kingdom is dying away. A big cause of that,

:23:05. > :23:08.according to the people we surveyed, is actually technology. So the more

:23:09. > :23:12.time that we spend on our phones, talking to people that we already

:23:13. > :23:17.know in the virtual world, the biggest problem gets. The good news

:23:18. > :23:23.is that technology can actually be part of the solution. Next door is a

:23:24. > :23:26.-- Nextdoor is a private social network apps for your neighbourhood,

:23:27. > :23:30.designed to connect people who do not already know each other, around

:23:31. > :23:34.the thing they share in common, the neighbourhood. We find people are

:23:35. > :23:38.using Nextdoor in the UK for everyday things like finding a good

:23:39. > :23:41.plumber or babysitter, but also personal things. Nextdoor is the

:23:42. > :23:46.best way to find a lost pet is all to start a running club or a mother

:23:47. > :23:50.and toddler group. We are also seeing Nextdoor Iain Hughes for more

:23:51. > :23:53.urgent things. After the dreadful Grenfell Tower disaster, we saw

:23:54. > :23:57.neighbours coming together to talk about disaster relief, how they

:23:58. > :24:01.could get supplies to the right places. So designed in the right

:24:02. > :24:05.way, even though technology has helped cause the problem, it can be

:24:06. > :24:09.part of the solution as well. It is a bit ironic that you are the

:24:10. > :24:13.director of the south, saying that we are spending too much time on our

:24:14. > :24:17.phones, but you want us to use your up. But it is for obvious reasons.

:24:18. > :24:22.You are a former counterterrorism policy adviser for ten Downing St,

:24:23. > :24:26.so you have looked at how we are integrating quite closely, and what

:24:27. > :24:30.can be done about it. I said when we reintroduced in you, that many of us

:24:31. > :24:34.think it was better when we were growing up, that the streets were

:24:35. > :24:38.friendlier and we spoke more to each other. Why do you think that is? Is

:24:39. > :24:41.it because there has been a change in social housing all the way we are

:24:42. > :24:45.informed about crime on the streets. What do you think is changing

:24:46. > :24:48.attitudes? I think a lot of this is about the way we behave in the

:24:49. > :24:52.modern world. What is interesting about the research is that it shows

:24:53. > :24:57.that there are some places, Wales, the West Midlands, Yorkshire, where

:24:58. > :25:02.these problems are less acute. But the big cities, London, parts of

:25:03. > :25:06.Manchester, the problem is bigger. I think that is about people being

:25:07. > :25:10.more mobile, perhaps more transient in big cities, not feeling like they

:25:11. > :25:15.need to invest the time in getting to know their neighbours. As I say,

:25:16. > :25:18.technology as well. There is nothing wrong with those social networks

:25:19. > :25:22.like Facebook and Twitter, which are mentioned. What we are saying is

:25:23. > :25:26.that actually having a social network that connects you to people

:25:27. > :25:29.you do not already know, and maybe don't share the same background, you

:25:30. > :25:33.know, didn't go to the same university, maybe they have

:25:34. > :25:37.different life experiences, that is a good thing. Especially if you

:25:38. > :25:41.focus it on utility, you know, getting things done with each other

:25:42. > :25:44.and cooperating, sorting out problems together, that is the way

:25:45. > :25:48.to start to break down some of these barriers. Certainly in my time in

:25:49. > :25:51.government this was a problem we started to get very concerned about.

:25:52. > :25:55.It does lead to all sorts of other problems, whether it is to do with

:25:56. > :25:59.social isolation, problems with well-being, also issues around

:26:00. > :26:04.extremism and people feeling like they don't belong in the UK. Part of

:26:05. > :26:09.the reason that I became involved with Nextdoor was to try to help

:26:10. > :26:14.bring people together, and Nextdoor is a great way of doing that. There

:26:15. > :26:18.are a lot of issues that need to be tackled, but I am afraid we do not

:26:19. > :26:22.have any more time to talk to you about this. Thank you for bringing

:26:23. > :26:23.this to our tension. The exchanges, director of Nextdoor. Thank you.

:35:05. > :35:07.success so far will affect the sport at grassroots level.

:35:08. > :35:17.Yes, good morning. I am not sure how loud Steph is going to be by the

:35:18. > :35:21.time kickoff, with excitement building and it is as you say a huge

:35:22. > :35:24.night for English football, the Lionesses the highest ranked team

:35:25. > :35:29.left in the Euros this year after beating France, their nemesis, for

:35:30. > :35:33.the first time since the 1970s, and Germany surprisingly knocked out by

:35:34. > :35:37.Denmark, so it is England against the Netherlands. The hosts in front

:35:38. > :35:42.of 21,000 fans and millions watching on TV to see if the Lionesses can

:35:43. > :35:46.win their first ever major tournament. We are reflecting that

:35:47. > :35:47.here at the Manchester academy. England are without their

:35:48. > :35:48.goalkeeper. Siobhan Chamberlain will replace

:35:49. > :35:52.the injured Karen Bardsley. That doesn't seem to worry her

:35:53. > :35:55.team-mates or manager. Mark Sampson says she is now

:35:56. > :35:57.the best goalkeeper England are the highest ranked

:35:58. > :36:12.team left in the Euros Holland will be the team that under

:36:13. > :36:16.pressure because if it has been in their home country the crowd will be

:36:17. > :36:19.full of Dutch people and they will be all against us but I think we

:36:20. > :36:23.have obviously been three experiences where we have been in

:36:24. > :36:26.the dog, we went to Canada and beat a host nation in the quarter-final,

:36:27. > :36:30.which was a fantastic experience. We have better players now and we have

:36:31. > :36:33.players that have really improved their individual games and really

:36:34. > :36:35.want to put on the England shirt and do what is right for the team.

:36:36. > :36:38.The biggest transfer in world football should be completed today.

:36:39. > :36:40.Brazillian forward Neymar will leave Barcelona and sign

:36:41. > :36:43.for Paris St Germain for a world record, wait

:36:44. > :36:53.He left Barcelona for the French capital yesterday.

:36:54. > :36:57.His new deal at PSG is believed to be worth 45 million euros a year,

:36:58. > :37:03.Here's what some PSG fans think of the move.

:37:04. > :37:15.We are all very excited for his coming. I think he can make good

:37:16. > :37:19.things in this team. The price is ridiculous, that's the only thing I

:37:20. > :37:24.think about. I think it's good that they take him, but let's be honest,

:37:25. > :37:25.it's ridiculous, the prices they pay for players is ridiculous at this

:37:26. > :37:28.moment. Scottish champions Celtic are now

:37:29. > :37:32.just one step away from a place in the group stages

:37:33. > :37:34.of the Champions League after a hard-fought victory over

:37:35. > :37:36.the Norwegian side Rosenborg. James Forest's brilliant second-half

:37:37. > :37:39.strike was enough to give Brendan Rodgers' side

:37:40. > :37:40.a 1-0 aggregate win. They now go into the playoff

:37:41. > :37:53.round which will be drawn tomorrow. This time last year I was going into

:37:54. > :37:58.these games with the hope that we could get through and try and find a

:37:59. > :38:02.way. Now we go into them and we come up to here to play with that level

:38:03. > :38:06.and that composure, and, you know, everyone is talking about the

:38:07. > :38:13.pressure of the game. But to play that way was sensational, really,

:38:14. > :38:15.and, yeah, I am really happy about the players.

:38:16. > :38:19.There was a surprise in the big race of the day at Goodwood with 20-1

:38:20. > :38:21.outsider Here Comes When winning the Sussex Stakes.

:38:22. > :38:24.Odds-on favourite Ribchester finished in second after rival

:38:30. > :38:33.Rory McIlroy says that he and former caddy JP Fitzgerald remain the best

:38:34. > :38:35.of friends since ending their professional relationship.

:38:36. > :38:38.The pair worked together for nine years but the four time major winner

:38:39. > :38:45.And a lot of great times, a lot of great times on and off

:38:46. > :38:49.And I still consider JP one of my best friends,

:38:50. > :38:55.But sometimes to preserve a personal relationship,

:38:56. > :39:08.you might have to sacrifice a professional one.

:39:09. > :39:18.We are watching the young community players from Broadheath and Ashton

:39:19. > :39:21.and I am joined by Kevin, technical director. We can see the enthusiasm

:39:22. > :39:27.for what the Lionesses is doing. What impact it is it having on the

:39:28. > :39:32.grassroots level? It has been absolutely massive. At the football

:39:33. > :39:40.club we have the "Is and we had over 800 participants apply. -- so, to

:39:41. > :39:46.see 800 girls participating is fantastic. -- we have the open

:39:47. > :39:50.girls. They are participating in football. It has had a massive

:39:51. > :39:53.impact. You saw that in the World Cup and the European Championships.

:39:54. > :39:56.And what's crucial is seven Manchester City players playing for

:39:57. > :40:01.England on the same features as these girls in the community. It is

:40:02. > :40:05.huge for us. The Manchester City women's team are fantastic models.

:40:06. > :40:10.Alice is within the academy, the young girls aspire to be the Steff

:40:11. > :40:15.Wharton, these girls play in the same as the women's team as well,

:40:16. > :40:21.they have the same aspirations. Without the injured Barnsley and

:40:22. > :40:26.Scott suspended, do they have the depth and strength to win?

:40:27. > :40:30.Absolutely. It is a major blow to lose the players from the squad. The

:40:31. > :40:33.team has shown in the past the depth of talent they have in the team. I

:40:34. > :40:38.genuinely think tonight that they will win the game and go through.

:40:39. > :40:47.Thank you, Kevin. Let's go and get the reaction from some of the girls

:40:48. > :40:51.to see what they think. We have Izzy. You are from Broadheath, how

:40:52. > :40:55.confident that England beat the Netherlands in a friendly, have they

:40:56. > :40:59.got too much for the Dutch? It is going to be hard, and I hope they

:41:00. > :41:03.win, obviously, and it is going to be as vital to way through. We will

:41:04. > :41:08.see if they can keep it together. That is confidence for you. And you

:41:09. > :41:13.play alongside the top players, so how inspirational is that for you?

:41:14. > :41:19.Honestly, people hope you are gonna be one of them players in future.

:41:20. > :41:25.The Kizhi a role model, doesn't it? Yeah. Can I have a ball? This keeper

:41:26. > :41:32.is doing so well, she needs a proper test. Just give a bit of a warmup.

:41:33. > :41:39.Oh, what a save, fantastic. I will see you later on for more. Oh, Mike,

:41:40. > :41:44."Proper test Klose you just got nailed. I am loving the analysis as

:41:45. > :41:48.well. We -- We are used to football finances

:41:49. > :41:51.hitting the headlines, from record transfers and high

:41:52. > :41:54.wages, to the cost of TV rights. Yet, even for a sport flush

:41:55. > :41:57.with cash, the likely transfer fee of Brazilian striker,

:41:58. > :41:59.Neymar, from Barcelona to Paris St Germain

:42:00. > :42:04.seems eye-watering. The near ?200 million move

:42:05. > :42:06.represents a 110% increase Kieran McGuire is a football finance

:42:07. > :42:24.lecturer and joins us now. good morning. Is he worth it? He is

:42:25. > :42:27.to the Qatari owners to PSG and he probably is to PSG as well because

:42:28. > :42:31.they have struggled to make an impact on European football in terms

:42:32. > :42:36.of competing with the big boys. Can one man make a difference, ?200

:42:37. > :42:40.million man, can he make the difference? If he can push them past

:42:41. > :42:44.the quarter-finals of the Champions League he can, and he brings a lot

:42:45. > :42:47.with him, he has a bigger social media following is an Real Madrid,

:42:48. > :42:54.than Manchester United individually, so PSG will piggyback on his fame to

:42:55. > :42:58.become more famous. Why is it so much bigger than anything we have

:42:59. > :43:02.seen before? I know they are always heading upwards. Why is it bigger?

:43:03. > :43:06.His side a contract with Barcelona last year. In the contract it was

:43:07. > :43:09.written his clause would be 220 million euros and at the time

:43:10. > :43:14.everyone laughed and thought it would never be paid. I think because

:43:15. > :43:18.the Qatari owners are desperate to increase their profile - this is

:43:19. > :43:21.done for political and full ball reasons - they have said they will

:43:22. > :43:26.bite the bullet and pay the money. Political reasons? If you look at

:43:27. > :43:32.what's happening in the Middle East with Qatar isolated by the other

:43:33. > :43:38.countries, this is a show of defiance, "We are still in business,

:43:39. > :43:44.still able to buy whatever we want." What does it mean for the football

:43:45. > :43:48.market? It will be ratcheted up. Barcelona have ?200 million in the

:43:49. > :43:53.bank account. They are going to have to replace Neymar. So the clubs they

:43:54. > :43:57.will approach will save, well, previously we try to sell you a plea

:43:58. > :44:04.for 60 million, but maybe it will increase, so the clubs will say they

:44:05. > :44:09.want 100. How can you break down the money? Often you talk about, OK,

:44:10. > :44:12.this is the player salary, then we look at the endorsements,

:44:13. > :44:17.advertising, sponsorship. How does it work with Neymar and his

:44:18. > :44:21.management team? His manager is his father. He will take a proportion of

:44:22. > :44:29.the fee as they negotiator. Did you say that he is going to earn more

:44:30. > :44:34.than Messi? He will earn more than tour might Messi owns? Certainly.

:44:35. > :44:40.You would expect the manager fee to be significant. There will be image

:44:41. > :44:44.rights and whether they will go to PSG or Neymar will determine how

:44:45. > :44:50.much money will be split between them. PSG may be able to recover the

:44:51. > :44:54.sea because they will get a proportion every time his signature

:44:55. > :44:59.is on a commercial deal, they will take a slice out of that. The worry

:45:00. > :45:03.when I hear these numbers, I know the money comes from TV rights and

:45:04. > :45:07.all of the commercial deals, as you say. What does it mean for the fans?

:45:08. > :45:11.They already fork out money for the tickets. Are we going to see this

:45:12. > :45:15.push up the prices? No. If you look at pricing over the last five or six

:45:16. > :45:20.years, the Premier League has realised it has reached a tipping

:45:21. > :45:30.point. Most prices have been frozen or close to the rates of inflation.

:45:31. > :45:34.Football clubs get money from three sources - the fans, I don't think

:45:35. > :45:37.they can be squeezed further, they get it from TV. TV money will

:45:38. > :45:41.continue to increase. And they get it from commercial sponsors. The

:45:42. > :45:45.sponsors in relation to PSG will pay more. The fans will be safe in this.

:45:46. > :45:49.That is good to hear. You could talk about it for hours. It is

:45:50. > :45:53.fascinating. It is a lot of money. We were working out earlier it is

:45:54. > :45:59.the equivalent of buying three Boeing planes. 440 million pints of

:46:00. > :46:03.milk if you needed it. Thank you. Neymar in milk.

:46:04. > :46:13.I wonder what tempted -- Carol is worth. She is priceless. I tell you

:46:14. > :46:14.what, lots of people want to be enjoying these temperatures we are

:46:15. > :46:22.seeing in Europe. Absolutely right. These are

:46:23. > :46:25.life-threatening temperatures. There are warnings out for the heat and

:46:26. > :46:32.the humidity. These are yesterday's temperatures. 44 in Corsica and

:46:33. > :46:36.Sardinia, 43 in Rome. That is a good 10- 15 above average for this time

:46:37. > :46:44.of year. In Italy there is a drought. The extent of the drought

:46:45. > :46:48.is equivalent to Lake Como. That is how much water they are lacking.

:46:49. > :46:55.That is equivalent to about 20 billion cubic metres. That is a lot

:46:56. > :46:59.of water they are short of. Last week we saw pictures of Corsica and

:47:00. > :47:03.the south of France, with wildfires. This area is at risk of wildfires,

:47:04. > :47:08.especially as we push from Corsica Italy into the Balkans and southern

:47:09. > :47:14.Poland. It is a serious situation. Raqqa time there is nothing this. We

:47:15. > :47:18.have sunny spells, showers, and it is going to be windy. The strongest

:47:19. > :47:23.winds will be across England and Wales. It is being driven by this

:47:24. > :47:27.area of low pressure. You can see the isobars and the centre of the

:47:28. > :47:30.low pressure system, with showers coming all the way around it. This

:47:31. > :47:35.morning we have showers across southern parts of England and Wales.

:47:36. > :47:41.Fairly hit and miss. Fewer showers today. They will be less intense

:47:42. > :47:44.than further north. On each side of those showers there will be

:47:45. > :47:47.sunshine, and some of us will miss them altogether. For northern

:47:48. > :47:52.England and Ireland, and Scotland, this is where we have the heaviest

:47:53. > :47:55.showers. Some of those, especially in Scotland, will be slow-moving.

:47:56. > :48:03.There will also be Honda rent -- thunder and possibly hail. The

:48:04. > :48:06.showers will get going through the day. Across the south, you will find

:48:07. > :48:10.generally in England and Wales we will see the showers blowing through

:48:11. > :48:15.quite quickly on those gusty winds. In between we will have sunshine. If

:48:16. > :48:20.you are out of the window and in the sunshine and out of the showers, 19-

:48:21. > :48:24.22 will not feel too bad. Through the evening and overnight it will

:48:25. > :48:29.still be windy. Lots of dry weather around. We will still see showers.

:48:30. > :48:33.If anything the rain across the Northern Isles will slip further

:48:34. > :48:37.south. No problem with the temperatures overnight. We are still

:48:38. > :48:42.looking at double figures in towns and cities. Tomorrow it is another

:48:43. > :48:47.showery day. Rain in Scotland. Turning more showery across Northern

:48:48. > :48:52.Ireland, England and Wales. Fairly isolated. Lots of us will not see

:48:53. > :48:57.them. We will hang on to a dry day with sunny spells and hires up to 23

:48:58. > :48:58.Celsius. As we head into the weekend, more showers on Saturday.

:48:59. > :49:02.Turning dry on Sunday. We've been talking about high pay

:49:03. > :49:08.this morning, looking especially high if you're

:49:09. > :49:09.the footballer Neymar. Sean's got more on the latest report

:49:10. > :49:23.about how much the UK's biggest Still a lot, but not as much as they

:49:24. > :49:29.had then? Not as much, but it is still high watering. Weather you are

:49:30. > :49:31.Neymar or you are the boss of BP, are you worth it? That is where the

:49:32. > :49:32.controversy comes from. Yes, high pay's certainly been

:49:33. > :49:35.in the spotlight recently. We're talking about some of the UKs

:49:36. > :49:38.highest earners this morning. The bosses at the top of Britain's

:49:39. > :49:40.biggest 100 companies that There's been some research

:49:41. > :49:44.carried out into this by the High Pay Centre,

:49:45. > :49:47.who look at this area. It found that the average pay

:49:48. > :49:50.package of a FTSE 100 chief executive last year

:49:51. > :49:52.was ?4.5 million. People who work full-time in the UK

:49:53. > :49:59.earn an average salary of ?28,000. So that means, it would take one

:50:00. > :50:02.of those workers about 160 years The report also found

:50:03. > :50:06.that top female bosses - and there are only six

:50:07. > :50:12.in those top 100 companies - earned an average of ?2.6 million,

:50:13. > :50:15.well below their male equivalents. Let's talk to Edwin Morgan,

:50:16. > :50:19.from a group representing business leaders, the Institute

:50:20. > :50:39.of Directors. Good morning. Good morning. These

:50:40. > :50:45.losses are earning a well over 100 times what their employees are

:50:46. > :50:49.earning. -- bosses. Is that right? The first thing to say is that at

:50:50. > :50:52.the Institute of directors we represent about 30,000 business

:50:53. > :50:56.leaders, and their average pay is more like ?100,000 a year, she is

:50:57. > :51:01.obviously very generous but nothing like the ?4.5 million a year. --

:51:02. > :51:05.which is obviously. It is important to recognise that lots of people in

:51:06. > :51:09.business do think that these very high salaries on the FTSE 100 are a

:51:10. > :51:15.risk to what people think of business in general. They have been

:51:16. > :51:19.signs today that there has been some moderation right at the top. That is

:51:20. > :51:24.obvious the positive. It shows that they are listening. Lau listening to

:51:25. > :51:29.public concerns and political pressure. So that annual moderation

:51:30. > :51:33.is a good thing. When it comes down to it, you say that even your

:51:34. > :51:37.members, lots of people are running smaller businesses around the UK and

:51:38. > :51:43.they look at these figures, some of the bosses, the boss of WPP earning

:51:44. > :51:49.nearly ?50 million. He is paid quadruple, ?22 million. Is that

:51:50. > :51:52.right? I think like you say, clearly, these are listed companies

:51:53. > :51:56.which are owned by the shareholders. The people who have the bigger stake

:51:57. > :52:00.in the mother 's shareholders, and of course the owners and the people

:52:01. > :52:05.who work for them. The moderation is positive. Clearly these levels are

:52:06. > :52:10.still incredibly high and they need to be kept down. With a quite a long

:52:11. > :52:14.period, in fact, in order to get back in line with the overall

:52:15. > :52:19.performance of these companies, of the FTSE, and really to get back in

:52:20. > :52:24.line with public expectations. If we look at the six female bosses,

:52:25. > :52:31.earning nearly half as much on average as the mail ulcers, how does

:52:32. > :52:35.that work? -- male bosses. I think the FTSE in general as a big issue

:52:36. > :52:39.with women at senior levels. It is not just these female CEOs who are

:52:40. > :52:43.earning less on average, it is the whole number of women in the

:52:44. > :52:46.executive positions. Is that because the boards of these companies not

:52:47. > :52:51.listening and are not actually saying, looking fairly at women in

:52:52. > :52:57.the top job, and saying, we will give you a fair amount? I think

:52:58. > :53:00.there are a whole range of problems. Headhunters are not putting thought

:53:01. > :53:04.enough women for the most senior jobs, there are not enough women in

:53:05. > :53:06.the pipeline right up to the top, so that is why they are

:53:07. > :53:10.underrepresented as a whole. Then you have everything, from

:53:11. > :53:15.unconscious bias, I am sure that plays a part, it is a big problem

:53:16. > :53:19.and it needs to be look that much more widely than just the pay issue.

:53:20. > :53:23.It is a big, systemic problem in business. The government is trying

:53:24. > :53:27.to tackle the particular issue of women in executive positions through

:53:28. > :53:31.the Hampson and Alexander Review. It is something that all business needs

:53:32. > :53:34.to recognise. We have a problem at the top of these biggest companies.

:53:35. > :53:41.Much more needs to be done. Thank you. So that pay scale is coming

:53:42. > :53:44.down to those chief executives. That shareholder revolt we have talked

:53:45. > :53:48.about for years seems to be having an impact, saying that they are paid

:53:49. > :53:51.too much. There are still big disparities between what the

:53:52. > :53:52.employees of the companies are paid and also the difference between

:53:53. > :53:53.women and men. Rubbish has been piling up

:53:54. > :53:56.in Birmingham after bin collectors Refuse workers are taking part

:53:57. > :54:01.in a series of walk-outs in a row Our Midlands correspondent,

:54:02. > :54:04.Sima Kotecha, is in Birmingham this Sima, some residents are taking

:54:05. > :54:24.matters into their own hands, Well, absolutely. It isn't very

:54:25. > :54:28.pleasant here at the moment. In fact it smells rather awful, if I'm

:54:29. > :54:32.honest. This strike has been going on since June 30. It has been five

:54:33. > :54:37.weeks. It is over the council wanting to change the shift patterns

:54:38. > :54:41.for bin workers. At the moment they do four-day weeks. Council wants

:54:42. > :54:47.them to do five-day weeks. In workers say that means less pay and

:54:48. > :54:50.fewer supervisor jobs. -- bin workers. The council says it

:54:51. > :54:54.doesn't, but they have to change the way that they work because they have

:54:55. > :54:57.to make some savings. People have become so fed up that in some cases

:54:58. > :55:01.they have started clearing up this rubbish themselves. I went out with

:55:02. > :55:05.some from the committee yesterday who got a tipper truck and do just

:55:06. > :55:11.that. The whole city knows that the binmen are on strike and we, as

:55:12. > :55:15.collective rudders, we have come together to clear up as much of the

:55:16. > :55:20.streets in Birmingham as we can. -- collective brothers. We are really

:55:21. > :55:26.upset that we have to live in these dire straits of rubbish. We did one

:55:27. > :55:30.load, we picked up one load, and the smell, and everything that has come

:55:31. > :55:33.out of it, we have been disgusted by it. The whole purpose of this is to

:55:34. > :55:38.encourage everybody else to stop lying on the council, roll up your

:55:39. > :55:42.sleeves, and if you cannot do it get in touch with us and we will happily

:55:43. > :55:46.come out and clear the rubbish for you. Why have you felt so strongly

:55:47. > :55:50.about coming out yourself with this tipper truck and all your friends to

:55:51. > :55:54.do this today? We feel that we as malls sums have a responsibility to

:55:55. > :55:59.our community, hence the reason, cleanliness is half of our religion,

:56:00. > :56:06.and clearly hear the cleanliness is an issue. This is why we as Muslims,

:56:07. > :56:14.and there that brothers, we have come together with one agenda, which

:56:15. > :56:22.is due keep our neighbourhoods clean, to come out and help you. As

:56:23. > :56:26.you heard there, some people taking it into their own hands to clean up

:56:27. > :56:31.this rubbish. Like I said, it smells grows here. Look at this rubbish.

:56:32. > :56:37.Piles of lack bags, falling out from these wheelie bins. This strike is

:56:38. > :56:40.due to go on until September, and if I am totally honest, speaking to

:56:41. > :56:45.people over the last couple of days there is not much optimism about a

:56:46. > :56:48.resolution any time soon between the council and The Unite union, which

:56:49. > :56:55.represents the bin workers. If there is no resolution any time soon, this

:56:56. > :56:58.city could become incredibly smelly. Not very pleasant as tall. -- at

:56:59. > :00:21.all. Time to get the Now though, it's back

:00:22. > :00:23.to Steph and Naga. This is Breakfast with

:00:24. > :00:29.Steph McGovern and Naga Munchetty. Mental health patients

:00:30. > :00:31.are being kept waiting to be discharged from hospital

:00:32. > :00:33.for up to three years, despite being medically

:00:34. > :00:35.fit to leave. Research for the BBC finds that

:00:36. > :00:38.hundreds of others across the UK are facing delays of

:00:39. > :00:46.more than six months. Also this morning: Nearly 200

:00:47. > :01:12.buildings in England are now known to have failed safety tests

:01:13. > :01:14.on cladding and insulation We'll speak to the man in charge

:01:15. > :01:18.of making them safe. Britain's big business bosses earned

:01:19. > :01:27.?4.5 million on average last year. That's down nearly 20%, but can that

:01:28. > :01:30.level of pay be justified? It's a big night for English

:01:31. > :01:36.football as the Lionesses play the Netherlands in the semi-finals

:01:37. > :01:38.of the Women's Euros. I'm out on the training pitch this

:01:39. > :01:42.morning to see how the excitement Health and weather warnings are put

:01:43. > :01:52.in place across large parts of Southern Europe as potentially

:01:53. > :02:10.life-threatening high Good morning. Not to that extent,

:02:23. > :02:27.There are fresh concerns about the state of mental healthcare

:02:28. > :02:32.A BBC investigation has revealed that some patients are waiting more

:02:33. > :02:34.than three years to be discharged from hospital,

:02:35. > :02:36.despite being medically fit to leave.

:02:37. > :02:39.Figures obtained through freedom of information requests show

:02:40. > :02:41.at least five patients waited more than 1,000 days,

:02:42. > :02:43.while hundreds more have been waiting for more than six months.

:02:44. > :02:46.The government says the NHS is investing hundreds of millions

:02:47. > :02:50.of pounds in treating mental health patients in the community.

:02:51. > :02:57.Our social affairs correspondent Michael Buchanan reports.

:02:58. > :03:11.It helps when I'm bored or anything and I haven't got anything to do.

:03:12. > :03:14.Toni shows me round her home, where she lives with five other

:03:24. > :03:25.She moved here last year, though, and loves it.

:03:26. > :03:29.But arguments over who should pay for her care means she spent months

:03:30. > :03:31.longer in hospital than she needed to.

:03:32. > :03:40.I would see other people leaving before me.

:03:41. > :03:42.I would be like, yeah, but I I've been ready

:03:43. > :03:48.Many psychiatric patients would recognise Toni's experience.

:03:49. > :03:51.We've discovered that at least five patients waited more than three

:03:52. > :03:59.While more than 300 spent six months longer in hospital

:04:00. > :04:07.Often, people are in a revolving door of hospital placement,

:04:08. > :04:11.and then then a failed community placement,

:04:12. > :04:14.because that step is just too significant.

:04:15. > :04:17.So, by providing a comprehensive package of support, we hope

:04:18. > :04:24.The complex where Toni lives is is provided by a national charity

:04:25. > :04:26.who say there aren't enough similar units.

:04:27. > :04:32.Toni says she will soon move into a small bungalow

:04:33. > :04:35.a further step towards rebuilding her life.

:04:36. > :04:46.Too many mental health patients are being denied a similar chance.

:04:47. > :04:50.In a few minutes we'll hear more on this issue from the Royal College

:04:51. > :04:54.Children from the very poorest families in some parts of England

:04:55. > :04:56.are continuing to fall further behind at school.

:04:57. > :04:59.The Education Policy Institute says by the end of secondary school,

:05:00. > :05:02.the most disadvantaged children can be two years behind their peers.

:05:03. > :05:05.The government says it's directing an extra ?72 million into areas

:05:06. > :05:12.It starts in primary school and widens in the years that follow,

:05:13. > :05:16.the attainment gap between poorer and wealthier children.

:05:17. > :05:19.Now, for some disadvantaged kids, that gap did close slightly over

:05:20. > :05:25.But when you look at the very poorest children, it didn't.

:05:26. > :05:28.The report calculates that by the time they sit their GCSEs

:05:29. > :05:35.But the picture does vary nationwide.

:05:36. > :05:38.You can speculate that funding would be a factor in certain parts

:05:39. > :05:42.We know that aspirations are quite important,

:05:43. > :05:47.So, I think all of these things will be having -

:05:48. > :05:51.and more - will be having an influence.

:05:52. > :05:54.Disadvantaged children are more likely to earn less in future

:05:55. > :05:59.Put simply, it leads to wasted potential.

:06:00. > :06:02.The Department for Education says there is over ?2 billion this year

:06:03. > :06:06.to support schools in this area, and money to help young people

:06:07. > :06:10.in so-called social mobility cold spots.

:06:11. > :06:12.Today's report acknowledges there has been progress overall

:06:13. > :06:16.but the conclusion - it is far too slow.

:06:17. > :06:20.If the rate of change over the last decade continues the study says it

:06:21. > :06:31.would take a staggering 50 years before the gap is closed.

:06:32. > :06:34.More than 200 buildings have failed the latest fire safety test,

:06:35. > :06:37.implemented in the wake of the Grenfell Tower fire.

:06:38. > :06:41.It was the second in a set of six tests ordered by the government

:07:05. > :07:07.The cardboard box, filled with baby products and a mattress,

:07:10. > :07:13.They're now given to new parents by some NHS trusts,

:07:23. > :07:25.It's been revealed that it would take the average UK worker 160

:07:26. > :07:30.years to earn what a top chief executive earns in just one.

:07:31. > :07:33.Sean's got more on the latest report on what the country's bosses

:07:34. > :07:42.We are talking a lot about pay at the moment. This year we have been

:07:43. > :07:47.talking about pay rises. And not keeping up with price rises. Then we

:07:48. > :07:55.have the BBC pay, with some quite eye watering figures. And today the

:07:56. > :07:58.FTSE 100 is what we are looking at, the 100 biggest companies on the

:07:59. > :08:03.stock exchange. Lots of pension funds invest in these companies. The

:08:04. > :08:07.high pay centre found those bosses running the companies are earning

:08:08. > :08:11.four and a half million, which is down 20% on the previous year.

:08:12. > :08:15.Shareholders have been criticised for not holding bosses and companies

:08:16. > :08:19.to account for the size of pay. They have started to kick up a fuss.

:08:20. > :08:25.Within that there are disparities that are still quite obvious. You

:08:26. > :08:31.mentioned 160 times the average worker on ?28,000 a year. The

:08:32. > :08:35.difference between women and men running these companies, only six

:08:36. > :08:46.women running these companies on the FTSE 100. That hasn't gone up over

:08:47. > :08:51.recent years. They earn to 6p -- 2.6 million a year. As we heard earlier,

:08:52. > :08:56.it is a fundamental problem in business. Starting from the bottom,

:08:57. > :09:01.recruitment, having people in the pipeline, then you end up with this

:09:02. > :09:05.figure on top. Thanks very much and I am sure we will talk about that a

:09:06. > :09:06.lot more. Yes, we are going to stick with pay.

:09:07. > :09:09.Brazilian striker Neymar will become the most expensive footballer

:09:10. > :09:12.in history when he completes his transfer from Barcelona to Paris St

:09:13. > :09:23.The French club have agreed to pay nearly ?198 million to release him

:09:24. > :09:27.The 25-year-old is expected to earn ?40 million a year before tax.

:09:28. > :09:42.Yeah, well, Ciaran McGuire told us this would in fact the rest of the

:09:43. > :09:46.market. Everything will be ratcheted up because Barcelona have ?200

:09:47. > :09:52.million in the bank account and they will have to replace Neymar so the

:09:53. > :09:57.clubs approaching him will say, previously resold you a plea for 60

:09:58. > :09:59.million, although if it is going to be Coutinho, whoever it will be,

:10:00. > :10:02.will say we want 80 or 90 or 100. The UK has become a nation of binge

:10:03. > :10:06.watchers according to research Health warnings are in place

:10:07. > :10:08.across Europe as temperatures reach A record-breaking heatwave

:10:09. > :10:11.is currently affecting swathes of the continent, from Romania,

:10:12. > :10:13.to Spain and Portugal. As much of Europe sizzles,

:10:14. > :10:21.just what is the best way An almost continent-wide heatwave

:10:22. > :10:27.has pushed temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius, breaking records

:10:28. > :10:30.and sending people and their pets In Austria, the elephants at

:10:31. > :10:41.Vienna Zoo took to the pool to cool. The city's horses had to go

:10:42. > :10:46.home, it was so hot. Others, though,

:10:47. > :10:48.weren't quite so lucky. It's experiencing its worst

:10:49. > :10:55.drought in 60 years. 11 of its 20 regions could soon

:10:56. > :11:01.declare a state of emergency. And there are weather warnings

:11:02. > :11:09.in place across Europe. After last week's wildfires

:11:10. > :11:11.in France, firefighters With dry conditions,

:11:12. > :11:16.the risk of further fires is high. In southern Spain, forecasters

:11:17. > :11:20.described the weather as extreme. A high of 47 degrees

:11:21. > :11:31.is expected in Cordoba. The advice is to drink plenty

:11:32. > :11:34.of water, and despite the lure of the Mediterranean sun,

:11:35. > :11:36.sea and sand, the authorities are urging people

:11:37. > :11:38.to stay inside during the hottest hours

:11:39. > :11:44.of the day. Carol will have more on that later

:11:45. > :11:46.on. As we've been hearing this morning,

:11:47. > :11:50.research by the BBC has revealed how some mental health patients

:11:51. > :11:52.are waiting three years to be discharged from hospital,

:11:53. > :11:54.despite being medically NHS England says its providing ?400

:11:55. > :11:58.million to help tackle the problem, but what exactly is going wrong

:11:59. > :12:02.and where should the money be spent? Doctor Arpan Dutta is from

:12:03. > :12:15.Royal College of Psychiatrists. Thank you very much for joining us

:12:16. > :12:19.this morning. Why is this such a delay? It sounds like such a long

:12:20. > :12:24.time people are staying in hospital when they should be discharged. Yes,

:12:25. > :12:29.I think there is a number of factors within this, I think from the data I

:12:30. > :12:36.have seen. There is issues in terms of funding, in terms of disputes

:12:37. > :12:42.around funding issues. Funding in terms of what, though? In terms of

:12:43. > :12:46.accommodation placements for people. There are problems sometimes with

:12:47. > :12:51.delays around assessment for commendation. And what we know is

:12:52. > :12:56.one in six people who might be on an acute mental health inpatient ward

:12:57. > :13:01.don't need to be there any more but might be waiting for another

:13:02. > :13:07.service, maybe for supported accommodation, they might be waiting

:13:08. > :13:11.for mental health rehabilitation services. So the problem is you

:13:12. > :13:15.haven't really got anything between the hospital and going back into the

:13:16. > :13:21.community for lots of them, so there isn't anywhere to go next? I suppose

:13:22. > :13:27.it is trying to prevent that cycle of people returning back into

:13:28. > :13:32.hospital. So in some cases people often remain on inpatient mental

:13:33. > :13:36.health wards where there are actually better and more suitable

:13:37. > :13:40.alternatives. It is about the provision of those alternatives, and

:13:41. > :13:42.sometimes there isn't the availability of the appropriate

:13:43. > :13:46.supported accommodation. What does it do for their mental health in the

:13:47. > :13:54.meantime considering they are there to be helped? Absolutely, and I

:13:55. > :13:58.suppose they are people with vulnerability at that point, and it

:13:59. > :14:01.has a number of effects on them, not only in terms of getting to a point

:14:02. > :14:07.where people become institutionalised, they sometimes

:14:08. > :14:10.become deskilled, and it affects blocking the flow of people through

:14:11. > :14:17.the system, so that people coming in will often end up going to out of

:14:18. > :14:21.area placements hundreds of miles from their loved ones, families, and

:14:22. > :14:25.that has a big impact for families and carers. Tell me how it works for

:14:26. > :14:29.you. Have you been in the situation where you have had to assess someone

:14:30. > :14:35.and decide whether or not it is safe for them to leave hospital? Yeah. Or

:14:36. > :14:38.you have worked with people, because I don't genuinely understand how

:14:39. > :14:43.someone can be kept for three years in a hospital when they are

:14:44. > :14:47.medically fit? What process has taken place where doctors have said

:14:48. > :14:51.you are fine, but we can't help you move on, who have you spoken to, is

:14:52. > :14:58.it counsels, other parts of the NHS, how does this happen? Yes, the

:14:59. > :15:02.services are quite fragmented, and I suppose that needs development in

:15:03. > :15:07.terms of integration of services. Certainly there is a divide between

:15:08. > :15:11.health and social care. And a lot of placements for people are jointly

:15:12. > :15:15.funded. So in my work it would be linking up with social workers, with

:15:16. > :15:22.other professions trying to identify appropriate placements for people. I

:15:23. > :15:27.suppose it is finding the right placement for the right person. And

:15:28. > :15:31.that is often creating a delay. How does it make someone in that

:15:32. > :15:38.position Field who is in charge someone 's health? A doctor's job is

:15:39. > :15:42.to do the best job you can and physically your hands are tied? Yes,

:15:43. > :15:48.it can be really difficult. I think it is working with what we've got to

:15:49. > :15:52.maintain hope for people, to try to help them understand that, actually,

:15:53. > :15:56.it is finding the right placement. And I think that there is that

:15:57. > :16:01.opportunity for mental health rehabilitation services to really

:16:02. > :16:05.look at how they can improve things to prevent people returning back

:16:06. > :16:15.into hospital, 'cause what we don't want is... We want people to be

:16:16. > :16:18.in... Finding the right placements but also in terms of appropriately

:16:19. > :16:22.looking at alternatives to admission. So there is crisis

:16:23. > :16:27.resolution home treatment teams, there is other things like supported

:16:28. > :16:28.accommodation. So it is looking for the alternative options to

:16:29. > :16:38.admission. We talk a lot about NHS funding, and

:16:39. > :16:41.the NHS says they will provide an extra ?400 million for crisis

:16:42. > :16:46.resolution home treatment teams. What difference will this make, do

:16:47. > :16:53.you think? I think any funding is welcome. I think it will start to

:16:54. > :16:57.make a difference. I think part of the royal college of the country,

:16:58. > :17:03.part of the work that has been done is to look after the commission, to

:17:04. > :17:09.look at what service capacity is and how services can manage supply and

:17:10. > :17:12.demand. I think that is important. Resources are scarce these days. It

:17:13. > :17:17.is about working more efficiently and smarter with what we have. If

:17:18. > :17:21.the situation going to get worse or better? That is a difficult one

:17:22. > :17:24.to... The implication of your hesitation is that it is going to

:17:25. > :17:28.get worse. You have just been talking about funding being tight,

:17:29. > :17:35.and resources being scarce. If things are not changed, the services

:17:36. > :17:40.are at a critical point. We need things to change, really, so that

:17:41. > :17:45.people are moving forward. And that is not just doctors, that is the

:17:46. > :17:48.linked professions, occupational therapists, psychologists, nurses,

:17:49. > :17:52.it is investment in all of those professions linked together. A whole

:17:53. > :17:54.systems approach. Thank you for your candid thoughts and analysis. Yes,

:17:55. > :17:57.thank you. It's 7:18am and you're watching

:17:58. > :18:00.Breakfast from BBC News. Here's Carol with a look

:18:01. > :18:03.at this morning's weather. Temperatures in Europe are

:18:04. > :18:14.incredible at the moment. Way above average. Yes, Rome should

:18:15. > :18:19.have a temperature of about 30, as should Sardinia. You can see how

:18:20. > :18:22.much higher they are. There is a red heat warning across Sardinia,

:18:23. > :18:25.southern Italy, the Balkans and southern Poland. These are

:18:26. > :18:33.dangerous, life-threatening amounts of heat. If you are travelling to

:18:34. > :18:37.these areas, note that we are not acclimatise to this kind of heat.

:18:38. > :18:40.Bear that in mind. There is also the risk of wildfires, because

:18:41. > :18:45.everything is tinderbox dry. We saw wildfires in Corsica and southern

:18:46. > :18:51.France last week. All of these areas are at risk of that. In Rome they

:18:52. > :18:55.are rationing water, as well as in 20 other towns in Italy. No letup in

:18:56. > :19:00.this drought situation in the short-term forecasts. To be warned,

:19:01. > :19:04.if you are travelling there. Nothing quite like that at home. We are

:19:05. > :19:09.looking at a day of sunshine and showers. Some showers will be heavy

:19:10. > :19:13.in the north of the country and in the south there will be blown

:19:14. > :19:16.through quickly on strong winds. Low pressure is dominating our weather,

:19:17. > :19:20.high pressure is dominating the weather in Europe. You can see the

:19:21. > :19:23.squeeze in the isobars telling you that it is going to be windy. We

:19:24. > :19:27.have these showers rattling around the area of low pressure, so they

:19:28. > :19:31.are heaviest in the centre. They are not so heavy to come further south,

:19:32. > :19:35.but we are looking at some decent dry spells and quite a bit of

:19:36. > :19:38.sunshine. If you do catch a shower it will go through quickly than we

:19:39. > :19:41.will see the sunshine comeback. For northern England, Northern Ireland

:19:42. > :19:45.and Scotland, there are heavy showers. Some of those will be

:19:46. > :19:49.slow-moving because the wind here is not as strong, particularly across

:19:50. > :19:53.Scotland. Hail and thunder, and between them we will see sunshine.

:19:54. > :19:56.In the Northern Isles we have the remnants of yesterday's rent. That

:19:57. > :20:01.will continue to push north. Later tonight it will come south again.

:20:02. > :20:05.Sunshine and showers sums it up. Windy also sums it up, across

:20:06. > :20:10.England and Wales. In the sunshine, we are looking at highs in the low

:20:11. > :20:14.20s. That will feel quite as on. 22 in London, 19 as we sweep up towards

:20:15. > :20:17.Aberdeen. As we move into the evening and the overnight period, we

:20:18. > :20:22.will lose some of the showers. It will still be windy. This rain

:20:23. > :20:28.across the Northern Isles starts to sink south into Scotland.

:20:29. > :20:33.Temperature wise, we are in pretty good shape. 13- 15. That is how we

:20:34. > :20:36.start the day tomorrow. The rain in the north, and increasingly that

:20:37. > :20:42.will turn more showery through the day. Northern Ireland, Scotland and

:20:43. > :20:48.Wales will be looking at sunshine and showers, but fewer showers than

:20:49. > :20:52.today, with highs up to 23. As for the weekend, showers and sunshine on

:20:53. > :20:55.Saturday, but something drier for most of us on Sunday, with rain

:20:56. > :21:05.coming in to Northern Ireland later on.

:21:06. > :21:12.Carol, not just dry weather but a dry throat. Get some water. I need a

:21:13. > :21:14.cup of tea. I am as dry as a horse's hoof.

:21:15. > :21:25.LAUGHTER . When you were young, I mean really

:21:26. > :21:31.young... Not that long ago! Maybe eight years ago. What were you into?

:21:32. > :21:35.Children's TV programmes, you know. Thomas the Tank Engine, that sort of

:21:36. > :21:39.thing. You're not into politics and business and finance? Well, I did

:21:40. > :21:46.spreadsheets... Did you? Of course not. There is a reason we are

:21:47. > :21:52.talking about this. Yes, there is a very smart young girl, Isla. She has

:21:53. > :21:53.scooped the Best Actress prize at the Scottish Comedy catnap awards.

:21:54. > :21:59.Why? Her political musings. We'll speak to her father,

:22:00. > :22:01.comedian Mark Nelson, But first, here they are discussing

:22:02. > :22:21.the general election. You love elections. I am sick of the

:22:22. > :22:26.elections. Did you not even enjoy the debate? They were not even

:22:27. > :22:33.there. Who would you vote for? None of them. I think Theresa May is the

:22:34. > :22:36.leader we need right now. She will provide a strong... Strong and

:22:37. > :22:47.stable, strong and stable. That is all she says. What about Jeremy

:22:48. > :22:54.Corbyn, then? Leader material? He is too old to lead the country. What do

:22:55. > :22:59.you mean? Here looks older than that Papa. Ten two cannot even use an

:23:00. > :23:05.iPad. Do you not think he has good policies? How would we pay for them?

:23:06. > :23:11.You need to be realistic. What about the SNP? What if they wind all the

:23:12. > :23:16.seats in Scotland? We will be a 1-party state. We will all have to

:23:17. > :23:20.get the same haircut. You would not good with the Nicola Sturgeon how,

:23:21. > :23:27.dad. You can always vote for the Lib Dems. Good one, dad!

:23:28. > :23:31.Mark Nelson joins us now. Mark, good to have the reverse on the

:23:32. > :23:37.programme. You must be proud of. Extremely proud. It is really good

:23:38. > :23:40.fun. How much of this is Isla and how much of this is script writing,

:23:41. > :23:48.and you are and conversations that have kind of happened over playtime?

:23:49. > :23:52.It is pretty much all me writing it. Despite what a lot of people on

:23:53. > :23:57.Facebook think, that I was coming up with a lot of the stuff herself. --

:23:58. > :24:02.that Isla was coming up. But lots of it comes up when we are doing it. We

:24:03. > :24:06.can spend a small while chatting away, and lots of it comes out of

:24:07. > :24:11.that. So it is mostly me, but some of it is improvised. Tell me, how

:24:12. > :24:15.does the filming process work with Isla? You obviously have to get her

:24:16. > :24:20.in the mood. Because although you are doing the writing, she is the

:24:21. > :24:25.star. Yes, it is a process. The process of bribery, in a way. There

:24:26. > :24:29.are a lot of sweets in there. She knows that after every couple of

:24:30. > :24:32.lines she is going to get some sweets. So she knows how to play the

:24:33. > :24:36.system. I love your honesty about this. I think it is fantastic. It

:24:37. > :24:41.would have been quite easy for you to say, though, it is all her. How

:24:42. > :24:45.much does she understand of what she is talking about in terms of policy?

:24:46. > :24:48.Steph and I said we were not doing spreadsheets when we were three or

:24:49. > :24:52.four, and was certainly not having political conversations. She doesn't

:24:53. > :24:56.really understand initially, but after we do the videos, if we are

:24:57. > :25:00.listening to the car, she will recognise names like Theresa May or

:25:01. > :25:04.Donald Trump. Then she will acknowledge that we were talking

:25:05. > :25:08.about that as well. So she is starting to get a wee inkling about

:25:09. > :25:11.what we have in discussing. Tell us, what is of people have been watching

:25:12. > :25:13.these videos. Have you been surprised at just how popular this

:25:14. > :25:22.has become? Stunned. I thought the first couple

:25:23. > :25:27.of videos we did, we were delighted if that doesn't people have seen it.

:25:28. > :25:32.We were blown away with that. Then the one that we did over Easter got

:25:33. > :25:36.about 70 million. It was ridiculous. That whole weekend, we found out

:25:37. > :25:42.that we had people messaging me from Malaysia, Hong Kong, Mexico could

:25:43. > :25:48.all sorts of stuff. It has been a surprise. Not a natural thing to do

:25:49. > :25:55.with a three-year-old. Outages find out she has an aptitude for this? --

:25:56. > :25:59.how did you find out. Just from spending time with her. She has

:26:00. > :26:04.always been easy to chat to. She has always on how to be funny, which is

:26:05. > :26:07.nice. It is weird. Being a stand-up comedian, it is weird seeing

:26:08. > :26:13.somebody that young know exactly what a joke is. She has aways been

:26:14. > :26:19.very expressive and she has been talking. So we just worked it from

:26:20. > :26:27.there. What next? Are there more programmes to come? Do you think she

:26:28. > :26:31.is moving on? I hope so. There is a time frame on it, in terms of

:26:32. > :26:36.eventually her getting bored of doing it, but I think there is a

:26:37. > :26:39.view things that are going on in the world that I would like to do videos

:26:40. > :26:44.about. -- a view things. So hopefully will doing more. She is a

:26:45. > :26:45.delight to watch. I hope she enjoyed herself birthday. Thank you for

:26:46. > :26:47.joining us. Thank you so much. Mark Nelson is performing his

:26:48. > :26:49.new show, Irreverence, at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe

:26:50. > :26:58.until the 27th of August. Charlie is going up there. He will

:26:59. > :27:05.be there tomorrow. Yes, the fund. No, he is working. That was the

:27:06. > :27:06.wrong thing to say. He'll be working very hard from the Edinburgh

:27:07. > :30:27.Festivals were. Now though, it's back

:30:28. > :30:29.to Steph and Naga. This is Breakfast with

:30:30. > :30:40.Steph McGovern and Naga Munchetty. Some mental health patients

:30:41. > :30:43.are waiting three years to be discharged from hospital,

:30:44. > :30:44.despite being medically Figures obtained by the BBC

:30:45. > :30:47.through freedom of information requests show that at least five

:30:48. > :30:50.patients waited more Meanwhile, hundreds more have been

:30:51. > :30:54.waiting for more than six months. NHS England says it's committed ?400

:30:55. > :31:07.million to help ease the problem. The services are at a critical point

:31:08. > :31:12.and we need things to change, really, so that people are moving

:31:13. > :31:17.forward, and that's not just sort of doctors, that is the lead

:31:18. > :31:21.professions, psychologists, nursing, all of those, investment in all of

:31:22. > :31:23.those professions put together, a whole systems approach, I suppose.

:31:24. > :31:26.Children from the very poorest families in some parts of England

:31:27. > :31:29.are continuing to fall further behind at school.

:31:30. > :31:31.The Education Policy Institute says by the end of secondary school,

:31:32. > :31:34.the most disadvantaged children can be two years behind their peers.

:31:35. > :31:37.The government says it's directing an extra ?72 million into areas

:33:46. > :33:48.so the if they have watched episode one and they desperately want to see

:33:49. > :34:06.Binge watching. Yeah. I was up to it last night. Once you start on the

:34:07. > :34:13.Yukon stop, can you? When you know that there are eight episodes -- you

:34:14. > :34:19.can't stop. I get upset if I have to watch only one per week, I feel I am

:34:20. > :34:24.being deprived. Yeah, thankfully, though, we are still alive. You

:34:58. > :35:01.everyone who will be cheering on the Lionesses, here are the England

:35:02. > :35:06.stars of the future, inspired by the England team, who have done so well.

:35:10. > :35:12.of the European Championships as they look to win their first

:35:22. > :35:27.They have gone, as have France, the team England failed to beat since

:35:28. > :35:31.1974. England have put it right, the Lionesses did it, they beat them in

:35:32. > :35:37.the quarter-finals. They have good form against the Dutch team as well,

:35:38. > :35:41.beating them in the semifinals in 2009 in the Euros, and in November

:35:42. > :35:46.England beat the Netherlands in a friendly there as well. There is a

:35:47. > :35:51.real hope they can win a major tournament for the first time. I

:35:52. > :35:55.know that they have a couple of suspensions with Jill Scott out and

:35:56. > :35:56.their keeper, Karen Barnsley, after the collision in the quarter-finals,

:35:57. > :35:58.so she is out as well. Siobhan Chamberlain will replace

:35:59. > :36:00.the injured Karen Bardsley. That doesn't seem to worry her

:36:01. > :36:03.team-mates or manager. Mark Sampson says she is now

:36:04. > :36:05.the best goalkeeper England are the highest ranked

:36:06. > :36:09.team left in the Euros Holland will be the team that under

:36:10. > :36:19.pressure because if it has been in their home country the crowd

:36:20. > :36:22.will be full of Dutch people and they will be all against us

:36:23. > :36:26.but I think we have obviously been three experiences where we have been

:36:27. > :36:29.in the dog, we went to Canada and beat a host nation

:36:30. > :36:31.in the quarter-final, We have better players now

:36:32. > :36:36.and we have players that have really improved their individual games

:36:37. > :36:38.and really want to put on the England shirt and do

:36:39. > :36:44.what is right for the team. The biggest transfer in world

:36:45. > :36:47.football should be completed today. Brazillian forward Neymar

:36:48. > :36:50.will leave Barcelona and sign for Paris St Germain

:36:51. > :36:52.for a world record, wait He left Barcelona for

:36:53. > :36:55.the French capital yesterday. His new deal at PSG is believed

:36:56. > :36:59.to be worth 45 million euros a year, Here's what some PSG

:37:00. > :37:04.fans think of the move. We are all very excited

:37:05. > :37:06.for his coming. I think he can make good

:37:07. > :37:09.things in this team. The price is ridiculous,

:37:10. > :37:12.that's the only thing I think about. I think it's good that they take

:37:13. > :37:15.him, but let's be honest, it's ridiculous, the prices they pay

:37:16. > :37:18.for players is ridiculous Scottish champions Celtic are now

:37:19. > :37:31.just one step away from a place in the group stages

:37:32. > :37:34.of the Champions League after a hard-fought victory over

:37:35. > :37:36.the Norwegian side Rosenborg. James Forest's brilliant second-half

:37:37. > :37:38.strike was enough to give Brendan Rodgers' side

:37:39. > :37:41.a 1-0 aggregate win. They now go into the playoff

:37:42. > :37:46.round which will be drawn tomorrow. This time last year I was going

:37:47. > :37:50.into these games with the hope that we could get through

:37:51. > :37:52.and try and find a way. Now we go into them and we come up

:37:53. > :37:57.to here to play with that level and that composure, and,

:37:58. > :37:59.you know, everyone is talking But to play that way

:38:00. > :38:03.was sensational, really, and, yeah, I am really

:38:04. > :38:13.happy about the players. Rory McIlroy says that he and former

:38:14. > :38:17.caddy JP Fitzgerald remain the best of friends since ending

:38:18. > :38:19.their professional relationship. The pair worked together for nine

:38:20. > :38:34.years but the four time major winner Back here at the Manchester City

:38:35. > :38:44.academy and this is where the English champions Manchester City

:38:45. > :38:49.play. I am joined by two teammates. Thank you, ladies. You know what it

:38:50. > :38:55.is like to be in the thick of it, don't you. First of all, how do you

:38:56. > :39:00.feel for Karen after the injury in the quarter-final? Devastating. We

:39:01. > :39:05.are all gutted for her. As soon as we heard how it was. Knowing Karen,

:39:06. > :39:12.the ultimate professional, she will be back note -- no doubt about it. I

:39:13. > :39:20.think they will get the job done. What it -- is it like coming in at

:39:21. > :39:24.this stage of the tournament with the pressure on? She will be fine.

:39:25. > :39:27.She came in the previous World Cup in the quarter-finals and did a

:39:28. > :39:32.great job. The girls have faith in her. She has plenty of ready and

:39:33. > :39:37.experience. She will just enjoy the occasion. And hopefully they will

:39:38. > :39:45.get the job done. You played for the under 23s. What will it be like as

:39:46. > :39:49.they wake before this semi-final? They will be relaxed. They have made

:39:50. > :39:54.a name for themselves. It is just rooting for them now. It is a big

:39:55. > :39:58.occasion. They are ready for them. And they know what it takes to beat

:39:59. > :40:03.the Dutch. They did it in 2009, a long time ago, and last year in a

:40:04. > :40:08.friendly. Holland are on a good run. Just the same as England. So I hope

:40:09. > :40:12.they get the job done. How important is it for England to have this

:40:13. > :40:16.momentum, and they have been together a long time, they got to

:40:17. > :40:19.the semifinals of the World Cup, came third, and kept it going - how

:40:20. > :40:26.important is that cohesion, togetherness? Yes, obviously, they

:40:27. > :40:30.have a feelgood approach, they know the friends and family, that is

:40:31. > :40:34.important to the girls and that has got them through so far.

:40:35. > :40:38.Togetherness on and off the pitch shows, and look what they are doing

:40:39. > :40:43.on the pitch when together, it is amazing. Just watching the little

:40:44. > :40:46.one spine due. To see how inspirational it is, starting out

:40:47. > :40:50.their career, we cannot underestimate the impact on women's

:40:51. > :40:57.football. It is the bigger sport according to the FA with a 19%

:40:58. > :41:02.increase in grassroots since 2011. When you have teams like Manchester

:41:03. > :41:07.City putting all the resources into it, and now as you say, six and

:41:08. > :41:11.seven-year-old girls can aspire to be the next Steph, the next Karen,

:41:12. > :41:16.and they have fantastic role models. Hopefully they will look back and

:41:17. > :41:26.go, England were the European champions. In a nutshell, the

:41:27. > :41:33.prediction? 1-0 England. And you? 2- zero. It is going to be tight but,

:41:34. > :41:39.as the players say, England have what it takes to beat the Dutch -

:41:40. > :41:43.they know what to do. I can't wait for the match. You have the England

:41:44. > :41:48.planned, have you? Of course of. What time should I come around?

:41:49. > :41:54.Straightaway after work, we have to get the snacks in. We are going to

:41:55. > :41:55.speak with Carol in a minute about the weather, but first.

:41:56. > :41:57.Nearly two months after a deadly fire spread

:41:58. > :41:59.through Kensington's Grenfell Tower, thousands of people

:42:00. > :42:02.across the country remain unsure about the safety of their own homes.

:42:03. > :42:05.Nearly 200 buildings in England have failed safety tests ordered

:42:06. > :42:09.Sir Ken Knight chairs the Government's independent fire

:42:10. > :42:13.safety panel and we can speak to him now.

:42:14. > :42:20.Thank you very much for joining us. Just looking at the figures now

:42:21. > :42:25.nearly 200 buildings which are unsafe. What needs to be done to

:42:26. > :42:30.make these buildings safe? Good morning. You will recall we started

:42:31. > :42:36.off, I chair the expert panel advising government, and we started

:42:37. > :42:41.off doing some screening tests of the external part of the cladding to

:42:42. > :42:46.see is combustibility. This phase of tests is recommended by the expert

:42:47. > :42:50.panel to test the cladding system as a whole. And as you see the latest

:42:51. > :42:53.results show that the first screening tests were correct and

:42:54. > :42:59.with the cladding together the cladding system with the aluminium

:43:00. > :43:04.composite materials have failed those tests to meet the current

:43:05. > :43:09.building regulations. So the importance is to ensure that

:43:10. > :43:13.landlords know what to do. The residents need to feel safe and we

:43:14. > :43:16.are also made recommendation measures they need to put in place

:43:17. > :43:21.and have started to put in place already. So how quickly will this

:43:22. > :43:24.happen, then, when will people in buildings feel safe? I hope they

:43:25. > :43:29.feel safe now because every one of these buildings has had an

:43:30. > :43:33.inspection from the local Fire and Rescue Service. They have all had a

:43:34. > :43:36.fire risk inspection. The landlords have made interim measures such as

:43:37. > :43:41.making sure smoke detectors work, people know what to do in the event

:43:42. > :43:46.of fire and special measures they have put in place. I hope residents

:43:47. > :43:51.feel the expert panel on the advice we gave the government is being

:43:52. > :43:55.heeded and is undertaken. And landlords themselves have been

:43:56. > :44:00.responsible to take those mitigating actions required. What is the advice

:44:01. > :44:04.you are giving? The advice we are giving is first of all to ensure

:44:05. > :44:08.that in advance of the test results being known, and landlords know, and

:44:09. > :44:13.that's important to make sure their residents know that the landlords

:44:14. > :44:17.ensure there is a risk assessment taken place in the building. Such as

:44:18. > :44:21.the fire doors working, smoke detectors working, people know what

:44:22. > :44:26.to do in the event of fire. All of those measures have to be put in

:44:27. > :44:29.place as well as the local Fire and Rescue Service both being available

:44:30. > :44:33.for advice and having given advice to each of these buildings. It is

:44:34. > :44:38.all very well giving advice and saying to make sure people know what

:44:39. > :44:42.to do in the event of a fire but they are still in buildings that are

:44:43. > :44:47.not safe. And the cladding is so should not be in those buildings and

:44:48. > :44:52.we are also giving advice on removing that cladding. And as the

:44:53. > :44:57.test continues, these are full-scale test to test the whole cladding

:44:58. > :45:01.system of what happens in the event of fire, and it is a well-respected

:45:02. > :45:07.standard test used around the world, actually, so that as the further

:45:08. > :45:11.test results emerge we can give further advice not only on those

:45:12. > :45:15.buildings that have been found to be unsafe, but more importantly how to

:45:16. > :45:21.make those buildings safe and take the cladding of that is on now. Is

:45:22. > :45:25.it fair to say this is a fairly chaotic process? Some authorities

:45:26. > :45:29.have removed cladding. Others haven't. This process have taken a

:45:30. > :45:35.long time. People are not sure if homes are safe or not. I don't think

:45:36. > :45:40.it is chaotic. I certainly wouldn't, nor did we recommend, that the

:45:41. > :45:44.outside cladding should be taken off prematurely to leave what is the

:45:45. > :45:49.installation of loan underneath. And we have issued new advice on that.

:45:50. > :45:54.Longer term it is important to know that only last week the government

:45:55. > :45:57.announced a review of building regulations and fire safety

:45:58. > :46:01.generally, chaired by Dame Judi Hackett, which will be an important

:46:02. > :46:05.milestone as well. My role and the expert panel's role is to deal with

:46:06. > :46:09.the immediacy - the question you asked - how to make sure people feel

:46:10. > :46:13.safe and that they are safe and we are doing everything we can to give

:46:14. > :46:17.the best possible expert advice to government. This isn't the first

:46:18. > :46:21.time you've looked at fire safety in tower blocks because he wrote a

:46:22. > :46:26.report after a fire in 2009. One of the things you said was not to

:46:27. > :46:31.retrofit sprinklers and instead take a more holistic look at fire safety.

:46:32. > :46:35.Do you think it is still the case, and what do you mean by a holistic

:46:36. > :46:41.approach to fire safety? That was some time ago. Since then technology

:46:42. > :46:46.has moved on as well. There are other fire suppression systems. I am

:46:47. > :46:53.pleased to see the wider field, not just sprinklers, automatic systems,

:46:54. > :46:57.the technical aspect is an important, the holistic aspect is

:46:58. > :47:01.insuring sprinklers play a very important part in fire safety. But

:47:02. > :47:05.that is not instead of making sure smoke detectors work and people know

:47:06. > :47:09.what to do in the event of fire. And that fire doors were properly and

:47:10. > :47:13.close properly. The holistic fire safety is the whole of the parts

:47:14. > :47:15.working together to keep people safe in the buildings they live and work

:47:16. > :47:23.in. Have you changed your mind about

:47:24. > :47:28.retrofitting sprinklers? No, I think that is right to be considered a lot

:47:29. > :47:31.of the time. That is why, after the last review, and after the

:47:32. > :47:34.Southampton fire, in which we tragically saw the death of

:47:35. > :47:37.firefighters, the government did write to all local authorities and

:47:38. > :47:42.ask them to carefully consider the retrofitting of sprinklers were it

:47:43. > :47:47.was appropriate to do so. I'm sure that debate will come further and

:47:48. > :47:50.faster as we go through both the review of the building regulations

:47:51. > :47:52.and the wider public enquiry, which of course has also been announced.

:47:53. > :47:57.Thank you. It's 07:47 and you're watching

:47:58. > :48:00.Breakfast from BBC News. Here's Carol with a look

:48:01. > :48:08.at this morning's weather. Carroll, you are looking at these

:48:09. > :48:11.dangerous, really, some people might think they are fabulous, but these

:48:12. > :48:17.temperatures can be harmful? Absolutely right. In fact, in

:48:18. > :48:22.certain parts of Europe, such as Sardinia, Italy, the Balkans and

:48:23. > :48:26.southern Poland, there is a red heat warning in force. That is the top

:48:27. > :48:30.level of warning. We don't see many of those in the course of a year. It

:48:31. > :48:34.is not just heat, it is also humidity. Life-threatening heat

:48:35. > :48:39.false on people. What we have at the moment is no rain in the short-term

:48:40. > :48:42.forecast. There is also a drought across parts of Italy. In fact,

:48:43. > :48:48.there is water rationing in Rome and another 20 cities across Italy.

:48:49. > :48:52.Those temperatures are a good ten to 15 degrees above where they should

:48:53. > :48:55.be at this stage of the year. If you are travelling to any of these

:48:56. > :49:00.places across southern Europe, bear that in mind. We British are not

:49:01. > :49:03.acclimatise to this kind of heat and humidity. Back home we have

:49:04. > :49:07.something quite different. Sunshine and showers, some of those showers

:49:08. > :49:10.will be heavy on the northern half of the country, and also pretty

:49:11. > :49:14.windy across England and Wales. You will see that in the isobars. If you

:49:15. > :49:17.catch a shower in England and Wales, it will rattle through quite

:49:18. > :49:21.quickly. In the centre of the high pressure there isn't much wind at

:49:22. > :49:25.all. The showers will be slow-moving and heavy. You can also see the high

:49:26. > :49:29.pressure dominating much of Europe at the moment. To translate that

:49:30. > :49:33.onto our charts, it is basically sunshine and showers. The showers

:49:34. > :49:37.are blowing through quite quickly on the wind, which means if you catch a

:49:38. > :49:41.shower in England or Wales it will not be as heavy or as frequent as

:49:42. > :49:44.further north, and you will see sunshine fairly quickly afterwards,

:49:45. > :49:48.as soon as that shower goes through. For Northern Ireland Scotland, we

:49:49. > :49:52.are also at sunshine and showers. Those showers, from the lack of

:49:53. > :49:55.wind, will be slow-moving. There is lots of dry weather around and some

:49:56. > :49:59.sunny spells as well. The rain across the northern islands will

:50:00. > :50:02.continue to push northwards and will come south later on. Northern

:50:03. > :50:09.England, some showers, lots of dry weather. As we come south into the

:50:10. > :50:13.Midlands, East Anglia, Fx and Kent, heading to Hampshire and the Isle of

:50:14. > :50:18.Wight, lots of dry weather around and fewer showers. Fewer showers as

:50:19. > :50:22.well, as we go from the Isle of Wight towards the Isles of Scilly

:50:23. > :50:25.and all points in between. Sunshine and showers. Wales will see some

:50:26. > :50:28.showers, but it will be windy, especially close to the coast.

:50:29. > :50:32.Inland you will notice it. This evening and overnight we hang on to

:50:33. > :50:36.the wind. We will see that rain across the north of Scotland go

:50:37. > :50:39.further south, and there will be lots of dry weather around as well.

:50:40. > :50:45.No problems with the minimum temperatures. 13- 15. Tomorrow we

:50:46. > :50:49.begin with that rain across Scotland turning more showery through the

:50:50. > :50:53.day. Then we're back into a day of sunshine and showers. Fewer showers

:50:54. > :50:56.than most of us saw today. As a result, with the lighter winds, it

:50:57. > :51:00.will feel warm across single and Wales and cool Scotland and Northern

:51:01. > :51:05.Ireland. That leaves us into Saturday, which is sunshine and

:51:06. > :51:07.showers. Sunday is looking dryer for most of us, with rain in Northern

:51:08. > :51:11.Ireland later. The high street clothes retailer

:51:12. > :51:20.Next has just reported it's sales They are often a bellwether for the

:51:21. > :51:24.high street. So how are they doing? Better than earlier in the year, but

:51:25. > :51:27.they have already told us they do not expect it to be a great year. So

:51:28. > :51:29.it is a slight improvement. Next is a big name

:51:30. > :51:33.on our high street, in our shopping centres,

:51:34. > :51:36.on many retail parks - but it's those physical stores

:51:37. > :51:38.where it's struggling. What they call full price sales have

:51:39. > :51:41.fallen by nearly 8% in-store compared to the first

:51:42. > :51:43.half of last year. But online sales are up

:51:44. > :51:52.by a similar amount. I'm joined now by Kirsty McGregor

:51:53. > :51:55.who's the deputy editor of the fashion and retail

:51:56. > :52:01.magazine, Drapers. Good news or not? Good and bad news.

:52:02. > :52:07.They potentially cancel each other out. We have is -- we have falling

:52:08. > :52:13.retail sales in their stores, but a good increase across their online

:52:14. > :52:16.sales. The problem there is that with the retail sales, stores are

:52:17. > :52:20.expensive to run. You might be moving people online, but you still

:52:21. > :52:24.have the overhead costs of those stores. They said earlier this year

:52:25. > :52:28.that even though sales are falling in store, they will Ashley be

:52:29. > :52:33.expanding their stores. Why? Is that wise? At the beginning of the year

:52:34. > :52:36.they modelled what would happen if retail sales continued to fall for

:52:37. > :52:40.them. What they realise was that stores are still profitable, so it

:52:41. > :52:44.is still worth having them to now. What they are going to do is try to

:52:45. > :52:48.get some shorter leases, I think. So it makes things more fixable. In a

:52:49. > :52:51.few years more time at that store is not profitable any more, they can

:52:52. > :52:55.exit that recent shock them. There may be a point where Next have to

:52:56. > :52:59.make a decision, whether they have the stores that they have at the

:53:00. > :53:03.moment. Absolutely. I do not think they will open a lot of new stores.

:53:04. > :53:06.Lots of retailers at the moment are looking at their whole store

:53:07. > :53:09.portfolio and shrieking it as more people shop online. They said

:53:10. > :53:12.earlier in the year they expected profits to fall this year. If you

:53:13. > :53:16.are a regular customer and you walk can last you and your walking in

:53:17. > :53:20.this year, what kind of changes will you see from what they are offering?

:53:21. > :53:23.There are a couple of changes we have seen coming through, not

:53:24. > :53:27.necessarily the changes. One of the things they held their hands up to

:53:28. > :53:32.at the beginning of the was product. They tried to make it more trends

:53:33. > :53:36.driven. Much more responsive. That is good in theory. It is what people

:53:37. > :53:40.are used are now, seeing the latest trends in the shops in a matter of

:53:41. > :53:44.weeks. They went too far down that road and took their eye off the ball

:53:45. > :53:49.when it came to their core product. The T-shirts and different basics

:53:50. > :53:53.that you would normally go into a Next to store to pick up. They are

:53:54. > :53:56.trying to correct that now, at it takes a little while to come

:53:57. > :54:01.through. So there is the product is side of things. They also need to

:54:02. > :54:05.invest in their online offers, making sure that delivery is a to

:54:06. > :54:09.scratch. There are competitors like is on coming in. They are upping

:54:10. > :54:14.their fashion offerings. And they are for delivering quickly. The big

:54:15. > :54:20.battle on the high street over the decade has been M and Next. Next

:54:21. > :54:25.have had a great run of it. Who is winning right now. Next did have a

:54:26. > :54:29.good run for a lot of years. It felt like they could do no wrong. Marks

:54:30. > :54:34.Spencer, we saw a slight improvement last quarter, but their womenswear

:54:35. > :54:37.sales have continued to decline, just not at the same rate as they

:54:38. > :54:42.were before. So they are possibly turning a corner. Not obviously both

:54:43. > :54:45.are struggling. I think what that shows is that there are wider

:54:46. > :54:49.factors affecting high-street retailers at the moment. That

:54:50. > :54:54.spending squeeze that we talk about. Yes, the squeeze on incomes, the

:54:55. > :54:59.exchange rate issue which brings that costs are going up lots of

:55:00. > :55:03.retailers, so they have to put prices up when customers are feeling

:55:04. > :55:07.the squeeze anyway. Right, you wouldn't want to be running one of

:55:08. > :55:11.these businesses. Kirsty, thank you. No resolution yet to that battle on

:55:12. > :55:16.the high street, as you can see. M and Next still having a tough time

:55:17. > :55:20.of it. Yes, struggling to target the audience. Trouble figuring out who

:55:21. > :55:28.their audience -- their customer is these days. We have been talking

:55:29. > :55:31.about a courageous. Sorry. Not your fault! It is the companies who are

:55:32. > :55:37.not fixing it. Any to do better, obviously. Sean, thank you.

:55:38. > :55:41.Still to come this morning, we'll be joined by rock star

:55:42. > :55:43.Joe Elliot to hear about the impact of thirty years

:55:44. > :59:12.Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

:59:13. > :59:14.Now though, it's back to Steph and Naga.

:59:15. > :59:47.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Steph McGovern

:59:48. > :59:52.Mental health patients are waiting up to three years to be

:59:53. > :59:55.discharged from hospital - despite being medically fit to leave.

:59:56. > :59:58.A BBC investigation finds that hundreds of others across the UK

:59:59. > :00:16.are facing delays of more than six months.

:00:17. > :00:18.Good morning, it's Thursday 3rd August.

:00:19. > :00:25.Nearly 200 buildings in England are now known to have failed safety

:00:26. > :00:32.tests on cladding and insulation following the Grenfell fire -

:00:33. > :00:40.the man in charge of the process tells as residents should feel

:00:41. > :00:44.reassured. I hope they feel safe, every one of these buildings have

:00:45. > :00:46.had an inspection by the Fire Service and have had a new fire risk

:00:47. > :00:47.inspection. It's a big night for English

:00:48. > :00:57.football as the Lionesses play hosts the Netherlands in the semi-finals

:00:58. > :00:59.of the Women's Euros. I'm out on the training pitch this

:01:00. > :01:02.morning to see how the excitement is gripping the sport

:01:03. > :01:04.at all levels. Britain's big business

:01:05. > :01:06.bosses earned ?4.5 million on average last year,

:01:07. > :01:09.that's down nearly 20%, but there are still big gaps between what men

:01:10. > :01:11.and women being paid. Health and weather warnings are put

:01:12. > :01:16.in place across large parts of Southern Europe -

:01:17. > :01:30.as potentially life threatening Today we are looking at sunshine and

:01:31. > :01:33.showers across Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England, some

:01:34. > :01:37.are slow-moving, heavy and sundry but for the rest of England and

:01:38. > :01:42.Wales, few and far between. Not as heavy and they blow through quite

:01:43. > :01:45.quickly on the wind. More details in 15 minutes. See you then!

:01:46. > :01:49.There are fresh concerns about the state of mental

:01:50. > :01:53.A BBC investigation has revealed that some patients are waiting more

:01:54. > :01:56.than three years to be discharged from hospital, despite being

:01:57. > :01:58.Figures, obtained through freedom of information requests,

:01:59. > :02:03.show that at least five patients waited more than 1,000 days.

:02:04. > :02:06.Hundreds of others have been waiting for more than six months.

:02:07. > :02:08.The government says the NHS is investing hundreds of millions

:02:09. > :02:10.of pounds to treat mental health patients in the community.

:02:11. > :02:17.Our social affairs correspondent, Michael Buchanan, reports.

:02:18. > :02:26.It helps when I'm bored or anything and I haven't got anything to do.

:02:27. > :02:29.Toni shows me round her home, where she lives with five other

:02:30. > :02:33.The 32-year-old suffers from schizophrenia and a personality

:02:34. > :02:38.She has spent almost half her life in psychiatric hospitals.

:02:39. > :02:40.She moved here last year, though, and loves it.

:02:41. > :02:44.But arguments over who should pay for her care means she spent months

:02:45. > :02:48.longer in hospital than she needed to.

:02:49. > :02:54.I would see other people, like, leaving before me.

:02:55. > :02:57.I would be like, yeah, but I've been ready

:02:58. > :03:05.Many psychiatric patients would recognise Toni's experience.

:03:06. > :03:07.We've discovered that at least five patients waited more than three

:03:08. > :03:18.While more than 200 spent six months longer in hospital

:03:19. > :03:23.Often, people are in a revolving door of hospital placement,

:03:24. > :03:25.and then a failed community placement,

:03:26. > :03:27.because that step is just too significant.

:03:28. > :03:29.So, by providing a comprehensive package of support, we hope

:03:30. > :03:38.The complex where Toni lives is is provided by a national charity

:03:39. > :03:45.who say there aren't enough similar units.

:03:46. > :03:51.Toni says she will soon move into a small bungalow

:03:52. > :03:53.on the complex, a further step towards rebuilding her life.

:03:54. > :03:56.Too many mental health patients are being denied a similar chance.

:03:57. > :04:04.More than 200 buildings have failed fire safety tests,

:04:05. > :04:06.implemented in the wake of the Grenfell Tower fire.

:04:07. > :04:09.In the second in a set of six tests ordered by the government,

:04:10. > :04:12.more than 100 high-rises failed to meet current regulations.

:04:13. > :04:14.The BBC has learnt that cladding and insulation panels failed

:04:15. > :04:18.the test within seven minutes of being set alight.

:04:19. > :04:20.Sir Ken Knight, who chairs the government's independent fire

:04:21. > :04:22.safety panel, told Breakfast residents in these buildings

:04:23. > :04:35.I hope they feel safe now, because every one of these buildings has had

:04:36. > :04:39.an inspection by the local Fire and Rescue Service and have all had a

:04:40. > :04:42.new fire risk inspection. The landlords have made interim measures

:04:43. > :04:46.like making sure smoke detectors work and people know what to do in

:04:47. > :04:51.the event of a fire, and special measures they have put in place. I

:04:52. > :04:56.hope residents do feel that the expert panel and the advice given to

:04:57. > :05:00.the government is being heeded, and undertaken. And, landlords

:05:01. > :05:00.themselves are being responsible to take those mitigating actions

:05:01. > :05:05.required. Children from the very poorest

:05:06. > :05:07.families in some parts of England are continuing to fall further

:05:08. > :05:09.behind at school. The Education Policy Institute says

:05:10. > :05:12.by the end of secondary school, the most disadvantaged children can

:05:13. > :05:15.be two years behind their peers. The government says it's directing

:05:16. > :05:17.an extra ?72 million into areas with low social

:05:18. > :05:24.mobility. A cot death charity has said that it

:05:25. > :05:27.will no longer endorse the use of Finnish-style baby boxes,

:05:28. > :05:29.designed for newborns to sleep in. The cardboard box - filled with baby

:05:30. > :05:32.products and a mattress - has been connected with low infant

:05:33. > :05:34.mortality rates in They're now given out to some

:05:35. > :05:38.new parents through the NHS, but the Lullaby Trust warns

:05:39. > :05:40.there is no evidence that they reduce the likelihood

:05:41. > :05:54.of sudden infant death syndrome. It's been revealed that it

:05:55. > :05:56.would take the average UK worker 160 years to earn what a top chief

:05:57. > :05:59.executive earns in just one. Sean's got more on the latest

:06:00. > :06:11.report that looks at We are talking about FTSE 100

:06:12. > :06:14.bosses, the 100 biggest bosses on the stock exchange. A lot of

:06:15. > :06:18.familiar names in there that people will know from the high street and

:06:19. > :06:22.other parts of life, it is how much they are being paid. The high pay

:06:23. > :06:27.centre have looked at this and found ?4.5 million is the average salary

:06:28. > :06:30.of a chief executive of one of those companies. When you compare it to

:06:31. > :06:43.the year before, it is down nearly 20% and a lot of that is because

:06:44. > :06:46.shareholders, who can have on what executives are paid, have finally

:06:47. > :06:49.started in the last year or two to vote against the big pay packets of

:06:50. > :06:50.these big bosses. It has moved down a little but there are big

:06:51. > :06:54.disparities. Six chief executives are women and on average they are

:06:55. > :06:59.paid ?2.6 million, still a lot of women but compared to the 94 men

:07:00. > :07:04.running businesses in the FTSE 100 paid on average ?4.5 million, there

:07:05. > :07:09.is still quite a big disparity highlighted by the report. How do

:07:10. > :07:13.you judge what is correct? That is the big argument. We talk about

:07:14. > :07:17.rating chief executive pay with the average pay of the workforce, then

:07:18. > :07:22.you look at profits and share value, and progression of the company, how

:07:23. > :07:28.do you measure what the chief executive is worth? And ratio, if

:07:29. > :07:35.you look at the employees of these companies, it's about 129 times, the

:07:36. > :07:40.chief executive, what the average employee is earning. It has come

:07:41. > :07:44.down that it has politicised over the year, the Conservative and

:07:45. > :07:47.Labour parties making a point of ratios, the Conservative Party

:07:48. > :07:54.believe that the ratio should be lower, 20 times the amount of your

:07:55. > :07:58.average low earning employee but it is a fine art. They are running big

:07:59. > :08:05.businesses and employ a lot of people in this country, there are

:08:06. > :08:09.pension funds as well, it is a big job but are they worth the ?50

:08:10. > :08:15.million they were paid last year? That's where the controversy was --

:08:16. > :08:18.?15 million. Do you pinch watch television? Rarely, but when I do, I

:08:19. > :08:23.go big. But not that often. I'm not a big TV

:08:24. > :08:27.watcher. If you don't go big, don't do it at all! What is big for you,

:08:28. > :08:34.how many hours? I have done six episodes... So, six

:08:35. > :08:38.hours? It's a lot, to sit on your own watching light in a box!...

:08:39. > :08:44.Yeah, but we make a living out of it as well, so don't go... We are only

:08:45. > :08:50.on for three hours! Why are we talking about this?

:08:51. > :08:52.The UK has become a nation of 'binge watchers',

:08:53. > :08:54.according to research from the media regulator, Ofcom.

:08:55. > :08:56.New research suggests eight in ten adults now view multiple episodes

:08:57. > :08:58.of their favourite shows in a single sitting,

:08:59. > :09:01.though most of us still watch at least some live TV each week.

:09:02. > :09:07.So, staff, we are safe for now! That is good news! We are talking about

:09:08. > :09:09.the weather today... Health warnings are in place

:09:10. > :09:11.across Europe as temperatures reach A record-breaking heatwave

:09:12. > :09:14.is currently affecting swathes of the continent -

:09:15. > :09:16.from Romania to Spain and Portugal. As much of Europe sizzles,

:09:17. > :09:20.just what is the best way An almost continent-wide heatwave

:09:21. > :09:23.has pushed temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius, breaking records

:09:24. > :09:26.and sending people and their pets In Austria, the elephants at

:09:27. > :09:39.Vienna Zoo took to the pool to cool. The city's horses had to go

:09:40. > :09:43.home, it was so hot. Others, though,

:09:44. > :09:46.weren't quite so lucky. It's experiencing its worst

:09:47. > :09:53.drought in 60 years. 11 of its 20 regions could soon

:09:54. > :10:01.declare a state of emergency. And there are weather warnings

:10:02. > :10:05.in place across Europe. After last week's wildfires

:10:06. > :10:06.in France, firefighters With dry conditions,

:10:07. > :10:16.the risk of further fires is high. In southern Spain, forecasters

:10:17. > :10:21.described the weather as extreme. A high of 47 degrees

:10:22. > :10:27.is expected in Cordoba. The advice is to drink plenty

:10:28. > :10:30.of water, and despite the lure of the Mediterranean

:10:31. > :10:31.sun, sea and sand, the authorities are urging

:10:32. > :10:48.people to stay inside We will have more weather with Carol

:10:49. > :10:55.later on. Sticking with the pacing... -- pay saying.

:10:56. > :10:57.Brazilian striker, Neymar, will become the most expensive

:10:58. > :10:59.footballer in history when he completes his transfer

:11:00. > :11:03.The French club have agreed to pay nearly ?198 million to release him

:11:04. > :11:13.The 25-year-old is expected to earn ?40 million a year before tax.

:11:14. > :11:17.It has got us thinking. It is a big number to get your head around, 198

:11:18. > :11:19.million. We've been thinking about what else

:11:20. > :11:23.could you buy for the price of the soon-to-be most expensive

:11:24. > :11:28.footballer in the world. Well, ?198 million buys you three

:11:29. > :11:32.Boeing passenger planes. It is enough to match the cost

:11:33. > :11:35.of the GDP of six countries, including Tuvalu in the South

:11:36. > :11:50.Pacific. Your favourite, Steph. I often like

:11:51. > :11:51.covering the economy of two -- Tuvalu.

:11:52. > :11:53.Or you could buy 440 million individual pints of milk.

:11:54. > :11:55.That's enough to fill 100 Olympic-size swimming pools.

:11:56. > :12:03.Who decided what we look at here? You could bathe in milk for 100

:12:04. > :12:11.days... For ever! For the cost of Neymar... There is an image! Mike,

:12:12. > :12:14.how do we go to the back of -- Mike, how do we go to you on the back of

:12:15. > :12:21.that? The match tonight, it is huge and we

:12:22. > :12:25.are so excited about it! Some very strange images in my head

:12:26. > :12:31.of you two there. Here, it isn't about the money but the love of the

:12:32. > :12:34.game. We are at the home of the England champions, Manchester City.

:12:35. > :12:39.Some future stars going through their paces this morning. They will

:12:40. > :12:47.be cheering on the Lionesses tonight, a chance to get through to

:12:48. > :12:50.the Euros. Germany and France have gone, many fans will be glued to

:12:51. > :12:55.their radio and television sets tonight. Cheering on the Lionesses.

:12:56. > :12:59.Many have been sending in their messages, giving their salute as a

:13:00. > :13:06.way of giving their support to the team out there. Some famous faces

:13:07. > :13:10.across the country have been posting on social media, here are some of

:13:11. > :13:14.the best. A message to all of the England Lionesses going to the

:13:15. > :13:17.Euros... Wishing you all of the luck in the world, not that you needed

:13:18. > :13:26.but you can never have enough luck. Go out and get the trophy!

:13:27. > :13:34.# If you are winning, let me see your hands up

:13:35. > :13:42.# Salute, salute! England! We salute the Lionesses. Good luck to all of

:13:43. > :13:50.the Lionesses from all of the Birmingham city Alliance. We are

:13:51. > :13:53.rooting for you! Good luck, Lionesses, we are rooting for you!

:13:54. > :13:59.Good luck, Lionesses, we are rooting for you!

:14:00. > :14:11.Salute! # Representing all the women,

:14:12. > :14:17.salute, salute! # Wonderful tributes, and doing the

:14:18. > :14:21.salute for us now, two former England stars, Sue Smith and Lisa

:14:22. > :14:25.Johnson, well played, a cracking salute! What a night ahead. You were

:14:26. > :14:29.there, you played the last time England were in the semifinals, in

:14:30. > :14:35.the Euros 2009, weirdly enough against the Netherlands, and you

:14:36. > :14:39.one! So many emotions tonight? No pressure on the England goals but we

:14:40. > :14:42.did when. A different kind of game for them. The environment is

:14:43. > :14:46.slightly different, they are playing against Holland in Holland but the

:14:47. > :14:50.girls have shown so much belief and self-confidence, and I think they

:14:51. > :14:56.have got better in every game I have watched them. The first game against

:14:57. > :14:59.Scotland they were expansive, Spain were slightly different, they did

:15:00. > :15:04.not really have much of the ball and yet they were so clinical with Jody

:15:05. > :15:08.Taylor and Fran Kirby, getting the job done against Portugal in France,

:15:09. > :15:11.this game is different, Holland are a good attacking team that there's

:15:12. > :15:16.no reason why they can't go and win in my opinion.

:15:17. > :15:22.Psychologically how important is it to have beaten France, having not

:15:23. > :15:25.done it since 74, Germany have gone as well, so they can't lose to them

:15:26. > :15:30.in the final. Can they allow themselves to think this is our

:15:31. > :15:33.chance to make history? Realistically there will be on the

:15:34. > :15:35.back of their minds and they will be thinking about it, but as true

:15:36. > :15:41.professionals their job will be to beat Netherlands. But the eagerness

:15:42. > :15:44.to get to the final will be there because it is a great possibility

:15:45. > :15:49.for them to get to the final and the winners. How much should we read

:15:50. > :15:54.into the fact that England B the Netherlands last November 1-0 in a

:15:55. > :15:59.friendly? They will take great hope from that and believe. Like Sue

:16:00. > :16:04.said, the belief in that squad, you can see it, the resilience they have

:16:05. > :16:07.as a team, the togetherness, it is fantastic. It really gives me goose

:16:08. > :16:10.bumps watching that without believe they have. They will take positives

:16:11. > :16:14.but this is a totally different ball game tonight, in their backyard with

:16:15. > :16:19.the supporters, it will be difficult, but I think the girls can

:16:20. > :16:22.do it. Watching some of the youngsters, and talking of the

:16:23. > :16:27.strength in depth that England have got, that will be important because

:16:28. > :16:34.they are without England goalkeeper Karen Bardsley, can make it without

:16:35. > :16:36.two key players? That is a massive positive for England, the fact that

:16:37. > :16:40.Siobhan Chamberlain is so experienced. Place the Liverpool,

:16:41. > :16:44.has done before, because she had to come on in the quarterfinal at the

:16:45. > :16:47.World Cup in Canada, so she has been in this pressure situations and will

:16:48. > :16:52.be ready for this. She had a very good spring series. There are lots

:16:53. > :16:55.of players that can come in, the likes of Fara Williams, Toni Duggan,

:16:56. > :16:59.a lot of players who can come into that position and fill that role. Of

:17:00. > :17:03.course you will miss Jill Scott and Karen Bardsley because they are top

:17:04. > :17:08.professionals. But they have got a good squad and a squad that I think

:17:09. > :17:13.can cope with missing those players. We have been building up to this

:17:14. > :17:16.quite some time, since Mark Samsung to over. We have seven Manchester

:17:17. > :17:18.City players from here, how important is it to have that

:17:19. > :17:24.togetherness that has been building for a number of years, not just one

:17:25. > :17:27.tournament? I think that is a big plus for marks to have in the squad,

:17:28. > :17:31.and it has been building for three and half years since it charge of

:17:32. > :17:36.the role. But there was a big thing in the media when Mark said his

:17:37. > :17:39.squad. Three months before anybody else. Everyone said is that the

:17:40. > :17:42.right thing to do? It will only be proven towards the end but I think

:17:43. > :17:47.we can all see that togetherness, the squad belief is really good,

:17:48. > :17:50.think that is that is what is giving them that extra step. They are so

:17:51. > :17:55.difficult to break down. They have conceded one goal all tournament.

:17:56. > :17:59.And that was when there were resting players. Yes, give the girls a run

:18:00. > :18:03.out, so they have some minutes in their legs if they are needed to

:18:04. > :18:07.come on in the semifinal, or hopefully the final. So I think the

:18:08. > :18:11.way he has set about it is very good and I think hopefully we will get

:18:12. > :18:19.the results about and going to the final. Quick prediction? 2-1

:18:20. > :18:23.England. 1-0 England, it will be a tight one. The Netherlands have only

:18:24. > :18:27.conceded one goal, they haven't scored as many as England, but they

:18:28. > :18:34.have home advantage. You can follow the game live on five live. 7:45pm.

:18:35. > :18:38.STUDIO: At least both predictions are for a win for England, that's

:18:39. > :18:41.what we like. Definitely looking forward to that match. Time to have

:18:42. > :18:51.a look at the weather with Carol. Really extreme temperatures in parts

:18:52. > :18:54.of Europe, aren't there? At silly right, yes, good morning, these are

:18:55. > :19:00.yesterday's temperatures, but already for example inside an year,

:19:01. > :19:03.the temperature is 34 Celsius, 93 Fahrenheit, at this time in the

:19:04. > :19:09.morning. It is already 30 Celsius in Rome. There is a red warning out, a

:19:10. > :19:15.heat one across Sardinia, Italy, the Balkans and self:. The red warnings

:19:16. > :19:20.are as rare as hen's Keith, you only see them now and again to the cause

:19:21. > :19:26.of the year, they are not as prolific -- as rare as hen 's teeth.

:19:27. > :19:29.Not a good combination with the humidity. There is the risk to life

:19:30. > :19:33.with this kind of heat. If you are travelling to this part of the world

:19:34. > :19:36.and we are not used to it, we don't acclimatise to that quite so readily

:19:37. > :19:46.so bear that in mind. Last week, we were showing you pictures of

:19:47. > :19:52.wildfires across parts of South of France and Corsica. There is also a

:19:53. > :19:58.trout situation in Italy. The lack of rainfall is equivalent to the

:19:59. > :20:03.whole of Lake Como, about 20 billion cubic metres of rainwater that have

:20:04. > :20:08.not fallen. And there are droughts, not just in Rome but in other parts

:20:09. > :20:13.of Italy as well. Temperatures are a good ten or 15 degrees above where

:20:14. > :20:15.they should be. Back at home, the weather is completely different,

:20:16. > :20:19.sunshine and showers, some will be heavy in the northern part of the UK

:20:20. > :20:23.but in southern parts there is also quite a strong wind. Low pressure

:20:24. > :20:26.dominating our weather, whereas high pressure is dominating in Europe and

:20:27. > :20:30.there is no let up to that in the short term forecast. Back to our

:20:31. > :20:35.shores, you can see where we have the showers piling in on the centre

:20:36. > :20:38.of area of low pressure across Scotland, northern England and

:20:39. > :20:41.Northern Ireland. Not much wind to move them along so they will be

:20:42. > :20:44.heavy, slow moving and thundery, whereas for the rest of England and

:20:45. > :20:51.Wales, we are looking at sunshine and showers. They will whip through

:20:52. > :20:54.quite quickly on the wind. The Northern Ireland and Scotland

:20:55. > :20:57.through the afternoon, there will be some showers but equally there will

:20:58. > :20:59.be a lot of dry weather and some sunshine. The rain this morning in

:21:00. > :21:03.the northern isles pushing northwards but it will come south

:21:04. > :21:06.through the night. The northern England here too some heavy showers

:21:07. > :21:09.this morning, easing off a touch through the afternoon, but if you

:21:10. > :21:15.catch one it is likely to be heavy but there will be a lot of sunshine.

:21:16. > :21:20.Sunshine through the Midlands, East Anglia, Kent and to the Isle of

:21:21. > :21:23.Wight. There will be the odd shower here but it will whip through

:21:24. > :21:27.quickly and the sun will come out quite quickly behind it. The

:21:28. > :21:30.Southwest England and Wales, there will be some showers, but they will

:21:31. > :21:34.be fewer and further between, and in the strong winds they will blow

:21:35. > :21:37.through quite quickly too. Through the evening and overnight, still

:21:38. > :21:41.windy, we lose a lot of the showers. Rain across the North of England

:21:42. > :21:48.head southwards, and still if you showers piling in on. -- on the

:21:49. > :21:53.wind. Tomorrow not as Wendy across England and Wales. Fewer showers,

:21:54. > :21:58.more sunshine, so it will feel warmer, and for Northern Ireland,

:21:59. > :22:02.but it will be windier for you, and the Scotland the rain will turn more

:22:03. > :22:05.showery through the cause of the day. Temperatures 14 to 23, if you

:22:06. > :22:09.are in the sunshine out of the win that will feel quite nice. Saturday,

:22:10. > :22:14.sunshine and showers, Sunday mostly dry that rain coming into Northern

:22:15. > :22:19.Ireland later in the day. Thank you very much, we will see you later.

:22:20. > :22:22.Would you know what to do if faced with the victim of an acid attack?

:22:23. > :22:24.Doctors are so concerned about the number of people

:22:25. > :22:27.being attacked with corrosive liquids, they have now issued

:22:28. > :22:31.Writing in the British Medical Journal, they also warn acid is fast

:22:32. > :22:33.become the weapon of choice for criminals over knives.

:22:34. > :22:39.Martin Berry from the Royal College of Paramedics joins us now.

:22:40. > :22:47.Good morning. Good morning. Are you seeing anecdotally a significant

:22:48. > :22:50.rise in the number of attacks with corrosive liquids? The use of

:22:51. > :22:55.corrosive liquids as weapons is not a new problem, it has been around a

:22:56. > :22:58.little while but we are seeing more cases, especially within cities over

:22:59. > :23:01.the last 12 months. We have to remember this is not just a tax on

:23:02. > :23:05.the public, we are also seeing attacks the members of the emergency

:23:06. > :23:09.services as well. So it is a problem that needs to be addressed. It is

:23:10. > :23:15.something you have personally dealt with as well. Yes, part of my job as

:23:16. > :23:17.a paramedic, I have seen some unpleasant things in my time that

:23:18. > :23:23.there is something quite uniquely disturbing about this kind of attack

:23:24. > :23:25.on a person. It leaves a really long lasting psychologically effects of

:23:26. > :23:32.the patient but also the staff treating them. It is becoming a real

:23:33. > :23:36.problem. So the advice is now water. Lots of flowing water. So if you

:23:37. > :23:41.have a bottle of water, normally get it, it is usually to the face, the

:23:42. > :23:47.attack, isn't it? Absolutely, this is a classic example of the simple

:23:48. > :23:51.solution makes all the difference. I have seen butter, milk and

:23:52. > :23:55.toothpaste, all of that absolute no. Just clean fresh water. In the

:23:56. > :23:58.unlikely situation you have a shower available, get that person in the

:23:59. > :24:02.shower, and just ten minutes of constant cool running water, and get

:24:03. > :24:05.that fluid as far away from the patient as you can. We are just

:24:06. > :24:09.seeing the pictures here come some of it being treated by the fire

:24:10. > :24:14.brigade, their heads to the forward as welcome as that an important

:24:15. > :24:18.part? Think of where that corrosive agent is going. If you have a victim

:24:19. > :24:21.that has had this fluid thrown at their face, make sure you are

:24:22. > :24:26.washing away from that side of the face and not across the face,

:24:27. > :24:30.thinking especially about the eyes. Sight loss is a significant impact

:24:31. > :24:33.of this. I want to pick up on something you mentioned about the

:24:34. > :24:37.emergency services being attack now. How is that coming about, is that

:24:38. > :24:42.when you are going to treat someone or just in your general...? We have

:24:43. > :24:46.seen cases of both. There was a paramedic recently in London that

:24:47. > :24:51.had some sort of corrosive agent thrown at her while on due to. In

:24:52. > :24:54.the immediate moment, it does not matter whether it is a corrosive

:24:55. > :24:58.agent or not, the psychological impact of the same and that member

:24:59. > :25:03.of staff is unable to respond to other people. If it is corrosive,

:25:04. > :25:08.the long Lastuvka the Zoko and psychological effects is damaging.

:25:09. > :25:10.Who do you think is behind this? What spoke about the fact that

:25:11. > :25:16.corrosive agents are being used in place of knives. Is this Gang

:25:17. > :25:20.Warfare? Who is behind this, what is the motivation? I wouldn't call

:25:21. > :25:23.myself an expert on gang culture and whether or not it is easy to get

:25:24. > :25:27.knives, but there is certainly a lot of pressure and a lot of drive to

:25:28. > :25:30.reduce knife islands across the cities, and it wouldn't be too much

:25:31. > :25:35.of a leap to suggest that at the moment there is no legislation

:25:36. > :25:38.around reducing or restricting the amount of corrosive agent or assets

:25:39. > :25:41.that people can purchase, then maybe that is causing the problem. Though

:25:42. > :25:45.the government has said it is looking at that, we have the Home

:25:46. > :25:51.Secretary talking about this on the programme before. Good news. I can't

:25:52. > :25:56.believe paramedics are being attacked, given all the work that

:25:57. > :26:00.you guys are doing. I can't believe I am sat on the sofa talking about

:26:01. > :26:05.this as a topic. It is absolutely bizarre that people think this is an

:26:06. > :26:12.OK thing to do. Our members and my colleagues are concerned about this,

:26:13. > :26:16.and more support is needed and more tied up thinking across the

:26:17. > :26:21.emergency services. What would help you? More tied up thinking. We need

:26:22. > :26:25.that change in legislation to stop people having these agents in the

:26:26. > :26:29.first place. Steph asked if you needed more protection, it is not

:26:30. > :26:37.new hearing of emergency service workers being attacked, is it? No.

:26:38. > :26:42.Unfortunately danger is an aspect of working for the emergency service.

:26:43. > :26:45.And our staff and paramedics are constantly vigilant about their own

:26:46. > :26:50.safety when treating people in public. However, there is more of an

:26:51. > :26:54.awareness currently going on, more work by the emergency service being

:26:55. > :26:57.done to remind staff to be more vigilant and careful of this sort of

:26:58. > :27:03.behaviour. It is terrible, thank you premature coming in to talk to us.

:27:04. > :30:22.Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

:30:23. > :30:29.Now, though, it's back to Steph and Naga.

:30:30. > :30:34.Hello, this is Breakfast with Steph McGovern and Naga Munchetty.

:30:35. > :30:37.Some mental health patients are waiting three years to be

:30:38. > :30:38.discharged from hospital, despite being medically

:30:39. > :30:43.Figures obtained by the BBC through freedom of information

:30:44. > :30:46.requests show that at least five patients waited more than 1000 days.

:30:47. > :30:53.Meanwhile, hundreds more have been waiting for more than six months.

:30:54. > :31:02.The services are at a critical point, and we need things to change,

:31:03. > :31:07.really, so that people are moving forward, and that's not just

:31:08. > :31:09.doctors, that is the link to professions, occupational

:31:10. > :31:13.therapists, psychologists, nursing, all of those, it is investment in

:31:14. > :31:21.all of those professions. A whole system approach, I suppose.

:31:22. > :31:24.More than 200 buildings have failed fire safety test intimated in the

:31:25. > :31:28.wake of the Grenfell Tower fire. More than 100 high-rises failed to

:31:29. > :31:33.meet current regulations. The BBC has learned cladding and insulation

:31:34. > :31:39.panels failed the test within seven minutes of being set alight. Sir Ken

:31:40. > :31:42.Knight, who chairs the Independent fire safety panel, told Breakfast

:31:43. > :31:47.that residents should not be concerned. I hope they feel safe now

:31:48. > :31:50.because every one of these buildings have had an inspection by local Fire

:31:51. > :31:54.and Rescue Service, they have all had a new fire risk inspection, and

:31:55. > :31:58.landlords have made in twin measures such as making sure smoke detectors

:31:59. > :32:02.work, people know what to do to prevent a fire and the special

:32:03. > :32:15.measures they have put in place. So I hope residents do feel that the

:32:16. > :32:17.expert panel and the advice we give the Government is being heeded and

:32:18. > :32:19.is being undertaken, and landlords themselves are being very

:32:20. > :32:20.responsible to take those mitigating actions that are required.

:32:21. > :32:22.More education is needed to help people treat

:32:23. > :32:24.the victims of acid attacks, according to doctors.

:32:34. > :32:41.This is a classic example of simple and quick intervention makes the

:32:42. > :32:46.biggest difference. I have seen all sorts of things used on Burns, but,

:32:47. > :32:49.toothpaste, milk. All of that, absolutely no, it is just clean

:32:50. > :32:54.fresh water. In the unlikely situation you have a shower

:32:55. > :32:57.available, get that person in the shallow, ten minutes of constant

:32:58. > :32:59.cool running water and get that liquid as far away from that patient

:37:19. > :37:19.have really improved their individual games, really want to put

:37:20. > :37:25.their England shirt on and do what is right for the team. There is

:37:26. > :37:28.certainly a lot of excitement here in Manchester, I wonder what the

:37:29. > :37:34.feeling is like there in Utrecht. We can join my colleague Katie Gornall

:37:35. > :37:46.who is there for us this morning. Great to join you there, I wonder

:37:47. > :37:56.what the mood is like in the camp? We have actually left the England

:37:57. > :37:59.camp, we are where the match will be taking place, we are near the fan

:38:00. > :38:03.zone, which they are setting up at the moment. It is quiet but it will

:38:04. > :38:06.fill up later, the Netherlands really have thrown their support

:38:07. > :38:09.behind this Dutch team, sell-out crowds for the Netherlands

:38:10. > :38:16.throughout the tournament, we expect another one tonight here at FC 20's

:38:17. > :38:21.Stadium, around 30,000 fans, said that is what England are up against,

:38:22. > :38:24.a sea of orange. But they are sounding confident throughout the

:38:25. > :38:27.build-up to the tournament, Mark Sampson said in his press conference

:38:28. > :38:32.yesterday he is excited by seeing the crowd, the sea of orange later

:38:33. > :38:35.on today and they will certainly not underestimate the Netherlands, they

:38:36. > :38:39.are the only team other than England with a 100% record coming into this,

:38:40. > :38:49.they have looked dangerous on the front, their attacking three play

:38:50. > :38:52.for Liverpool and Barcelona and they have played well together so England

:38:53. > :38:56.will have to be at the very top of their game but these are two form

:38:57. > :39:01.teams coming together in a semifinal for a place in the final so a huge

:39:02. > :39:05.amount of excitement for this one. As you say, Katie, England will be

:39:06. > :39:08.lifted by that partisan crowd almost as much as the Dutch, they can cope

:39:09. > :39:16.with a big crowd. How important is it that England did beat the

:39:17. > :39:18.Netherlands there in a friendly last November 1-0?

:39:19. > :39:21.Yes, they said they learned a lot from that match but I think the

:39:22. > :39:25.Dutch will be desperate to prove they are better than they were when

:39:26. > :39:27.they lost back in November. You mentioned the partisan crowd, the

:39:28. > :39:31.reason I don't think it will phase England is because it be think back

:39:32. > :39:37.to the World Cup two years ago they knocked out the hosts, Canada, in

:39:38. > :39:57.front of 54,000 fans, overwhelming the Canadian, in

:39:58. > :40:01.Vancouver, and they will draw on that experience coming into this

:40:02. > :40:04.one, but of all the England teams I have covered over the years I have

:40:05. > :40:06.never seen one with so much belief in itself, confident about this

:40:07. > :40:09.tournament from the start. They have not said, we are looking to the next

:40:10. > :40:12.game, they said right at the beginning, this will be six games to

:40:13. > :40:15.play here, and they have been taking them up as they go along. They are

:40:16. > :40:17.unable, they have scored more goals than anyone else, Jody Taylor has

:40:18. > :40:19.scored five already, she has her sights set on the Golden Boot, but

:40:20. > :40:21.with Germany, the holders, unexpectedly knocked out, England

:40:22. > :40:23.have knocked out France, they have the confidence, they are the

:40:24. > :40:25.favourites, the highest ranked team left in the tournament and many

:40:26. > :40:28.people feel this is England's tournament to lose, they may never

:40:29. > :40:30.have a better chance of winning their first major tournament and

:40:31. > :40:32.that is what they have set their sights on but first they have to get

:40:33. > :40:35.past Netherlands. OK, we have to leave it there, we

:40:36. > :40:39.cannot wait for it to start. The host venue where the match will

:40:40. > :40:42.take place later on. Briefly, to the other sports

:40:43. > :40:44.stories... I cannot get my head around these figures.

:40:45. > :40:46.The biggest transfer in world football could be completed today.

:40:47. > :40:48.Brazillian forward Neymar will leave Barcelona and sign

:40:49. > :40:50.for Paris Saint Germain for an eye-watering ?198 million.

:40:51. > :40:53.He'll become the most expensive player in the world -

:40:54. > :40:58.His manager at Manchester United believes these sums could become

:40:59. > :41:13.For 200 million I don't think he is expensive. I think he is expensive,

:41:14. > :41:19.the fact that now you are going to have more players at 100 million,

:41:20. > :41:23.and you are going to have more players at 50 million, more players

:41:24. > :41:27.at 60 million, and I think that is the problem, because Neymar is one

:41:28. > :41:31.of the best players in the world. Scottish Champions Celtic

:41:32. > :41:33.are now just one step away from a place in the group stages

:41:34. > :41:36.of the Champions League after a hard-fought victory over

:41:37. > :41:38.the Norwegian side Rosenborg. James Forest's brilliant second-half

:41:39. > :41:40.strike gave Brendan Rodgers' side They now go into tomorrow's draw

:41:41. > :42:00.for the play off round. One of the story, Rory McIlroy says

:42:01. > :42:03.that... Oh, sorry. I was just saying JP Fitzgerald, Rory McIlroy's

:42:04. > :42:07.caddie, they are going their separate ways but Rory McIlroy says

:42:08. > :42:10.they will remain the best of friends, the fourth time major

:42:11. > :42:14.winner said it is time for a change, apologies there. Touring but the

:42:15. > :42:19.wind was interfering. We are getting things lined up back here at the

:42:20. > :42:22.Manchester Academy because I am joined by some of the community

:42:23. > :42:29.players who have been showing us their skills. What is your name?

:42:30. > :42:32.Lucy. How are you feeling about the match? Excited to see how they

:42:33. > :42:40.perform and excited about seeing Lucy Barnes. Do you think they will

:42:41. > :42:48.win? Yes. What is your name? Qayyarah. But does it feel like to

:42:49. > :42:52.play alongside those players on these pictures? It is good to have

:42:53. > :42:58.somebody to inspire you. How do you think the match will go, what is

:42:59. > :43:01.your name? Courtney. Do you think they will beat the Netherlands,

:43:02. > :43:08.despite them being the host? What will be the score? 2-0. How has it

:43:09. > :43:13.inspired you that England are on this winning run, that they could be

:43:14. > :43:18.in the final? I am excited to see the performances. You have just

:43:19. > :43:24.started playing for the community team, what is your name? Killy. How

:43:25. > :43:30.excited are you and what do you think will happen? I am really

:43:31. > :43:33.excited. How important is it to have the Manchester City players

:43:34. > :43:41.involved, the ones that you see here at the academy, how does it inspire

:43:42. > :43:44.you? It feels good. The girls are desperate to get kicking again and

:43:45. > :43:50.they need a goalkeeper, apparently. You are going to go easy on me! Who

:43:51. > :43:55.wants to commentate on this? You have been doing well, and Mara. I

:43:56. > :43:59.have not got any gloves so don't shoot too hard! You are going to

:44:00. > :44:05.commentate on my attempt to save a couple of penalties. Your big moment

:44:06. > :44:15.on BBC Breakfast! He is off. And she misses!

:44:16. > :44:22.STUDIO: Oh, no! Great commentary there, though! It

:44:23. > :44:28.sounds like they are on Mike's side. And she scores!

:44:29. > :44:39.Very good dive, I am worried about the grass stains on his outfit! One

:44:40. > :44:44.more? Through the legs! Good effort, Mike!

:44:45. > :44:50.Thank you, Mike, lovely to see you. And thank you Mara, as well.

:44:51. > :44:53.Great to see how excited everyone is about the football match, and we

:44:54. > :44:57.have someone else in the studio who is excited about this, Joe Elliott

:44:58. > :45:03.of Def Leppard, you are excited about this? The football, yes. I

:45:04. > :45:09.have got a lot of press after we finish here but there will be a TV

:45:10. > :45:14.on in the corner. I am absolutely going to be watching it. A perfectly

:45:15. > :45:20.justifiable thing to put on your rider! Yes, the football has to be

:45:21. > :45:26.on, at least pictures no sound! We got you on to talk about Hysteria,

:45:27. > :45:31.the album which I think many would say defined, itemised def Leopard.

:45:32. > :45:38.30 years after you first released it, 30-year today it has been

:45:39. > :45:43.revamped, remastered. It is kitchen sink, this one, the fashion with

:45:44. > :45:50.vinyl now is 180 grams, which basically means it is rock hard, for

:45:51. > :45:57.the vinyl freaks it is let the ultimate. There is a specific CD

:45:58. > :46:03.version, six discs, I think, or seven, DVDs, the album remastered

:46:04. > :46:06.this year, B sides, extended versions, all sorts. We can talk

:46:07. > :46:23.about it but there is nothing better than listening to it.

:46:24. > :46:35.# Break the bubble, break it up using macro for a sugar on me in the

:46:36. > :46:45.name of love # For some sugar on me, come on fire

:46:46. > :46:53.me up his macro for some sugar on me, I can't get enough.

:46:54. > :46:59.# I got to feel it in my blood use it macro I need your touch don't

:47:00. > :47:07.need your love # And I want and I need and I love

:47:08. > :47:23.# Animal # And I want and I need and I love

:47:24. > :47:29.you sick macro animal that last video, filmed with a circus? Yes,

:47:30. > :47:34.Wheeler with a circus for a couple of days. Everybody can sit --

:47:35. > :47:39.considers rock 'n' roll a bit of a circus but it was mad, but

:47:40. > :47:45.experience, never forget it. How do you feel looking back at the videos?

:47:46. > :47:54.It depends what videos, some of them are a bit naff. We ended up shooting

:47:55. > :48:01.a second video for Sugared because we didn't like it, NTV wouldn't show

:48:02. > :48:08.it because they thought it was rubbish. Doesn't feel like a long

:48:09. > :48:14.time ago? It doesn't, I have been talking to people about this, if you

:48:15. > :48:22.are wrongfully imprisoned for 30 years, it is a long time! LAUGHTER

:48:23. > :48:29.but if you are in a band that has done an album that becomes iconic,

:48:30. > :48:34.you know, we are not naive, we realise like Dark Side Of The Moon

:48:35. > :48:41.by Pink Floyd, most bands have some album, at least one, they will for

:48:42. > :48:43.ever be talked about, and if you make an album like that you should

:48:44. > :48:49.be blessed, accepted. We do not think of it as an

:48:50. > :48:53.albatross, that 30 years has flown by, it gave us the opportunity to

:48:54. > :48:58.work as often as we wanted and we have never stopped. All of a sudden

:48:59. > :49:03.people tap you on the shoulder and say, you realise it has been 30

:49:04. > :49:07.years? How did you go about making an album that needed to be so

:49:08. > :49:12.definitive? Most albums of this style, we didn't know what we were

:49:13. > :49:18.doing, we went incompletely blindfolded, we have this album that

:49:19. > :49:22.came out four years previously, it was a hit in the States, it didn't

:49:23. > :49:25.do anything anywhere else, we knew how to make a successful record of

:49:26. > :49:31.what we wanted to do was make a record that took that even the, not

:49:32. > :49:40.just replicated. Having a discussion with co-producer, we were discussing

:49:41. > :49:45.the Michael Jackson album Thriller and the producer walked in and said,

:49:46. > :49:51.why can't you do something like that and we said, why not? Was it almost

:49:52. > :50:03.commercialising foot you are doing? We were always a semicommercial band

:50:04. > :50:08.but when we had some songs in the collection, we had songs that we

:50:09. > :50:11.knew could cross over into pop. But it was the 80s, there was all the

:50:12. > :50:17.new technology coming out on a daily basis and we wanted to play with it,

:50:18. > :50:22.what does that button do? We went down a lot of dead end streets,

:50:23. > :50:30.trying to find things to do, and we would come back sometimes, three

:50:31. > :50:33.weeks down the toilet. We were talking about technology and how

:50:34. > :50:38.things were changing but you must have seen mega changes in the music

:50:39. > :50:42.industry, the last 30 years? Yes, you do, the changes that I notice

:50:43. > :50:49.the most are the ones we all noticed growing up through that era, you

:50:50. > :50:52.still had Top Of The Pops and use groups like soft cell the human

:50:53. > :50:59.league, all of these bands literally you could tell were playing over

:51:00. > :51:06.drum machines. You saw people like Gary Numan, taking over from where

:51:07. > :51:10.punk was. These days, the technology is like medicine, slowing down,

:51:11. > :51:13.waiting for the next big breakthrough, allowing the tiny

:51:14. > :51:19.little ones that normally only the producers know about and the ones

:51:20. > :51:24.that banks would not admit to. You gave us a little bit of a hint about

:51:25. > :51:30.living with a circus, are you still rock 'n' roll? Onstage, yes, because

:51:31. > :51:35.that is for it is important and that is always important. We have always

:51:36. > :51:43.been the odd ones out, really, when all that kind of, Los Angeles scene

:51:44. > :51:47.was happening in 87, 88, and all of these bands like Bon Jovi were

:51:48. > :51:54.breaking through, we were living in Holland next to a windmill, totally

:51:55. > :51:59.content, no Internet, no cellphones. Like smoke signals, there is a new

:52:00. > :52:03.movement going on in Los Angeles, really? We were living in our own

:52:04. > :52:08.bubble, making music, that is what we were concentrating on. You were

:52:09. > :52:15.never a bad? I am not saying that we weren't but we kept it under the

:52:16. > :52:18.radar as best we could. Smart. I am interested, you said you are still

:52:19. > :52:24.as busy as you work tell us what you are doing. We just finished an

:52:25. > :52:28.American tour, 38 gigs, literally and overspill from the tour last

:52:29. > :52:33.year, we had an album out towards the end of 2015 and we have been

:52:34. > :52:36.working it ever since, so much demand to play live. Is it the same

:52:37. > :52:41.audiences, or different ones coming through? You see the same faces,

:52:42. > :52:48.getting a little bit older each year but he bring their kids. You get

:52:49. > :52:52.excited when you see someone who is not 21 and they know all the words.

:52:53. > :52:57.I saw this happening some years ago with the Rolling Stones gig, kids

:52:58. > :53:03.not even born who were singing Satisfaction. It happens with

:53:04. > :53:07.generations, they get disappointed with their own generation of music

:53:08. > :53:11.and they go for iconic bands, I did the same thing at 12, once Glam Rock

:53:12. > :53:18.dissipated and we moved towards disco I started looking back at

:53:19. > :53:26.bands like There Who, The Small Faces... It has been a delight

:53:27. > :53:30.having new on the sofa. Enjoy the football tonight. Thank you.

:53:31. > :53:35.Def Leppard's album, Hysteria, is re-released tomorrow.

:53:36. > :53:40.It's better, but just as good. Is that there? Yes.

:53:41. > :53:49.Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

:53:50. > :53:58.Let's look what is happening around the Mediterranean, the temperatures

:53:59. > :54:01.well above average, 44 degrees in Sardinia, to put this into context,

:54:02. > :54:08.the highest temperatures recorded in the UK was on the 10th of August

:54:09. > :54:15.2003, Faversham in Kent, we reached the Dieppe on five Celsius, over 101

:54:16. > :54:18.Fahrenheit, these temperatures we can't comprehend and if you are

:54:19. > :54:28.going on holiday there this in mind, heat and high levels of humidity. A

:54:29. > :54:32.red heat warning in force across the Balkans, Sardinia, Italy and in

:54:33. > :54:37.parts of Poland. Threatening to life, actually, wildfires, we saw

:54:38. > :54:41.them last week across southern parts of France, Corsica, all of this area

:54:42. > :54:47.is tinderbox dry, the risk of wildfires. Also a drought situation

:54:48. > :54:53.in Italy. The deficit in rainfall is the equivalent of the whole of Lake

:54:54. > :55:00.Como, the equivalent of 20 billion cubic metres of water. Water is

:55:01. > :55:04.actually being rationed not just in Rome but in another 20 towns in

:55:05. > :55:08.Italy. High pressure dominating the weather in this part of the world,

:55:09. > :55:12.not going anywhere fast, low pressure dominating our weather,

:55:13. > :55:16.sunshine and showers. England, Wales, pretty windy, the wind

:55:17. > :55:20.blowing the showers quite quickly across England and Wales, in the

:55:21. > :55:24.centre of this low pressure there is no wind, the showers will be

:55:25. > :55:30.slow-moving, heavy with hail and thunder in bed. The forecast for us,

:55:31. > :55:32.the showers continuing across Scotland, northern England and

:55:33. > :55:38.Northern Ireland, heavy and slow moving. But the rest of England and

:55:39. > :55:44.Wales, showers few and far between, lighter, rattling through quickly.

:55:45. > :55:48.If you manage to stay out of the wind, it won't feel too bad at all,

:55:49. > :55:51.and staying out of the showers, this afternoon, sunshine and showers

:55:52. > :55:54.across Northern Ireland and Scotland, rain in the northern isles

:55:55. > :55:59.pushing northwards, heading in the direction of lyric, coming south

:56:00. > :56:05.again for Northern England, you have sunshine and showers, slow moving,

:56:06. > :56:11.if you catch one it's likely to be heavy. Coming south into the

:56:12. > :56:14.Midlands, East Anglia and Kent, towards Hampshire and the Isle of

:56:15. > :56:19.Wight, fewer showers, drier weather and a fair bit of sunshine, if you

:56:20. > :56:24.catch a shower in the South West and Wales, you find it will blow through

:56:25. > :56:31.quickly, and then a return to sunny or bright skies. Still going to be

:56:32. > :56:37.windy tonight, the rain coming southwards through the course of the

:56:38. > :56:42.night, blowing in showers. Not going to be a cold night, temperatures

:56:43. > :56:49.ranging from 13-15. Heading into Friday, the wind starting to abate,

:56:50. > :56:51.for England and Wales, fewer showers, more sunshine, feeling

:56:52. > :56:58.warmer. Northern Ireland not faring badly, pretty windy, for Scotland,

:56:59. > :57:03.the rain coming south overnight will turn showery as we go through the

:57:04. > :57:09.day, temperatures rise between 14 and 23. On Saturday, looking at

:57:10. > :57:13.sunshine and showers, you'd know the drill, many of us will miss them,

:57:14. > :57:19.and on Sunday, dry weather with rain coming in across Northern Ireland

:57:20. > :57:25.later. Carol, I have been keeping note of the phrases to date stock it

:57:26. > :57:33.was as dry as a horses hoof. That was about Carol's throat. What's out

:57:34. > :57:36.there as hen's tease? Read health warnings and heat warnings across

:57:37. > :57:42.Europe. Do you want to leave us with another? I don't think I could think

:57:43. > :57:46.of one. These are the ones that you think of when you think of what am I

:57:47. > :57:50.going to say next? You do it so marvellously. But she has some that

:57:51. > :57:56.we can't say on the telly. We will talk about those later, shall we?

:57:57. > :58:03.Maybe not. Not on air, anyway. See you later. Starting to match the

:58:04. > :58:08.colour of her dress. Let's talk rubbish, that will make a change. It

:58:09. > :58:12.has been building up in Birmingham, refuse workers taking part in a

:58:13. > :58:18.series of walk-outs in a row over job losses. Aren't Midlands

:58:19. > :58:22.correspondent is in Birmingham for us and residents taking things into

:58:23. > :58:29.their own hands? I bet it's pretty smelly there at the moment! Just a

:58:30. > :58:35.little bit, yes, standing by some bins, piled high. This is just a

:58:36. > :58:40.snapshot of the situation across parts of Birmingham and as you say,

:58:41. > :58:44.it's down to a strike, bin men and women striking for around five weeks

:58:45. > :58:50.now, starting on the 30th of June and it's because the council want to

:58:51. > :58:53.change the way bin workers work, the scheduling, every week, they want

:58:54. > :58:58.them to do a five-day week, at the moment they are working four days,

:58:59. > :59:02.they say that means fewer supervisor jobs and less paid. But the council

:59:03. > :59:07.says that's not the case, we will give you alternative jobs if you

:59:08. > :59:15.want but this strike has been going on for some time now, people angry,

:59:16. > :59:19.frustrated, IQ said, it stinks, some skied all problems, some rats, pest

:59:20. > :59:25.control coming out to various places and some people in the community

:59:26. > :59:31.have gone out in there to track to collect the rubbish themselves. The

:59:32. > :59:37.whole city knows the binmen are on strike and we as brothers have come

:59:38. > :59:41.together to clear up as much of the streets in Birmingham as we can.

:59:42. > :59:46.Because we are really upset with the fact that we have to live in this

:59:47. > :59:52.dire Strait of rubbish, we have done one load and the smell, and

:59:53. > :59:57.everything that has come out of it, we are disgusted by it. The whole

:59:58. > :00:01.purpose of this is to encourage everyone else to stop relying on the

:00:02. > :00:04.council, will be your sleeves and if you cannot do it, get in touch with

:00:05. > :00:08.us and we've happily come out cleared the rubbish. Why have you

:00:09. > :00:14.felt so strongly about coming out yourself with this tip truck and

:00:15. > :00:19.your friends to do this? We feel we as Muslims have a responsibility to

:00:20. > :00:23.our community and hence the reason cleanliness is half of our religion

:00:24. > :00:29.and clearly here, this issue is a real issue and hence, we as Muslims

:00:30. > :00:32.and bearded brothers as you can see, half of the brothers here are

:00:33. > :00:37.bearded, we have come together with one agenda to keep these areas,

:00:38. > :00:45.whatever neighbourhood you are from, we will come out and help you.

:00:46. > :00:51.This strike is due to go on until September, the two sides say they

:00:52. > :00:55.are talking, they are trying to come up with a solution that they are

:00:56. > :00:59.both happy with. However, people here are not feeling very optimistic

:01:00. > :01:02.at the moment and they believe that a resolution really is not on the

:01:03. > :01:09.cards very soon. Thank you very much.

:01:10. > :01:16.When it comes to posting pictures of your child online,

:01:17. > :01:20.is sharing caring or self-indulgence and even dangerous?

:01:21. > :01:22.New figures from the media regulator Ofcom suggest that

:01:23. > :01:30.parents are pretty evenly split on the issue.

:01:31. > :01:35.It found 56% of mums and dads prefer not to upload pictures,

:01:36. > :01:37.while 42% like to share moments such

:01:38. > :01:50.We're joined by a family of bloggers. Tell us about your online

:01:51. > :01:52.habits, you are bloggers, are you posting a lot of pictures of the

:01:53. > :02:02.kids online? We post daily but not necessarily

:02:03. > :02:09.about the kids, but about the parenting experience. I think the

:02:10. > :02:14.word "sharents" has been bandied about, but it is about sharing your

:02:15. > :02:17.experiences online. The massive peaks, what is the difference

:02:18. > :02:22.between an earring and a worm, and the drops, the tantrums in Tesco,

:02:23. > :02:26.sharing the experience and becoming more of a community over just

:02:27. > :02:29.sharing pictures as a vanity project of your children.

:02:30. > :02:33.That is the difference, you are doing it because you blog and you

:02:34. > :02:38.have a message to put out but there is the issue of parents who don't

:02:39. > :02:44.have a blog who are just putting up pictures of their children perhaps

:02:45. > :02:50.with not as much thought for the children's' happiness or safety in

:02:51. > :02:55.sometimes? There was another interesting statistic in the report

:02:56. > :02:58.that 8485% of parents would not put up anything that they think their

:02:59. > :03:02.kids would be uncomfortable with and most people I think are sensible,

:03:03. > :03:05.they would not put up things that give away their address or where

:03:06. > :03:09.their child goes to school, that sort of thing, and there is quite a

:03:10. > :03:12.lot of advice online about the types of image you should not share and I

:03:13. > :03:19.think people are increasingly aware of that will stop but also I think

:03:20. > :03:23.it is something that, stay at home parents often feel patronised,

:03:24. > :03:27.working parents feel they have to hide their family away, and this

:03:28. > :03:32.gives people a way to connect to other parents, it is basically kind

:03:33. > :03:35.of like an extension of the school gates, effectively. But that then

:03:36. > :03:39.can almost become competitive as well, especially when you see an

:03:40. > :03:42.extension of the school gates, you hear of people competing at the

:03:43. > :03:47.school gates, so-and-so is doing this, and it is reflected online?

:03:48. > :03:53.And I think that is, in social media generally, but I think the more

:03:54. > :03:57.compelling trend that we have noticed, particularly with people

:03:58. > :04:00.writing about family experiences, is people being incredibly honest about

:04:01. > :04:05.it, a bit of a kickback to the perfect family vision that was

:04:06. > :04:09.presented maybe even just a couple of years ago on social media, people

:04:10. > :04:13.being much more honest about the horrors and humour of the parenting

:04:14. > :04:17.experience. It is interesting, I have a friend who will always post

:04:18. > :04:21.pictures when her kids are in a foul mood to prove the point it is not

:04:22. > :04:25.all happy days, but at the other end of this you have got your children

:04:26. > :04:28.and their experience of being online and there are lots of children as

:04:29. > :04:37.they get older into their teenage years and feel the pressure of

:04:38. > :04:40.everything looking so perfect online, what are your thoughts on

:04:41. > :04:43.that, Anna, how would you make sure Mae and either are all right online?

:04:44. > :04:48.Are the kids all right, will we ever know?! It is about that honesty, as

:04:49. > :04:52.long as we are honest in our experience, I think the thing that

:04:53. > :04:57.is happening at the moment is this huge sharenting movement is trying

:04:58. > :05:00.to cut through all that perfection, not with just airing your dirty

:05:01. > :05:06.laundry for the sake of it but actually with the reality of it.

:05:07. > :05:12.That makes, for me, out of our followers, five people per day maybe

:05:13. > :05:18.feel less alone, then that is great, whether Ray have got 100 or 100,000

:05:19. > :05:22.followers, it is about community and a united experience and that is

:05:23. > :05:27.something that I want my kids to grow up seeing, the reality. It was

:05:28. > :05:33.tough, but it was brilliant at the same time. Our Mae and Eva always

:05:34. > :05:37.this good? This is not a true reflection of the parenting

:05:38. > :05:42.experience! Mae, we promised to show what you have drawn, are we allowed

:05:43. > :05:53.to do so? What have you got there? Is it a rabbit? It is a rabbit. A

:05:54. > :06:01.rabbit! Sharing is caring! That is a brilliant rabbit. I didn't finish it

:06:02. > :06:06.yet! You can do that later, we would like to finish that picture and put

:06:07. > :06:13.it on the wall. Just maybe not on social media! Anna and Matt, thank

:06:14. > :06:18.you very much, and Eva and Mae. She has opened her eyes!

:06:19. > :06:21.We will be discussing Poldark in a moment, let's get out of this while

:06:22. > :06:22.the baby is still quiet! Let's take a last look at the

:06:23. > :07:55.headlines where If you're not up-to-date

:07:56. > :08:09.with Poldark you might Because we are going to spoil its

:08:10. > :08:17.just a little bit. One of the major plot lines of this

:08:18. > :08:20.series has been the blossoming romance between Elizabeth's cousin

:08:21. > :08:22.Morwenna and Demelza's Series three of the BBC drama

:08:23. > :08:26.reaches it's conclusion this weekend and viewers will be eager to find

:08:27. > :08:32.out what happens to the young couple We'll speak to actors

:08:33. > :08:34.Ellise Chappell and Harry Richardson in a moment, but first let's remind

:08:35. > :08:36.ourselves of when Morwenna Stay on the path and you

:08:37. > :08:57.come to it directly. Do we buy in these parts,

:08:58. > :09:47.or just be passing through? How does it feel watching that? The

:09:48. > :09:53.first 20 both said then was, that was ages ago! It is so strange to be

:09:54. > :09:57.nearly at the season finale and then watch something that feels... When

:09:58. > :10:04.did you finish filming? February this year. It must feel quite odd

:10:05. > :10:10.watching it back now. Will you be watching the last one? Oh, yes, it

:10:11. > :10:15.was my favourite episode. Do you watch it with your family and

:10:16. > :10:21.friends? Yeah, you have got to, it is so suited to that, everybody

:10:22. > :10:27.gossiping during the show! Do they not try to get you to spoil it for

:10:28. > :10:33.them, give them spoilers? My parents are always trying to get me to give

:10:34. > :10:37.them spoilers, no, you have got to watch at! Every I speak to her she

:10:38. > :10:43.is like, so, what is happening next? Really casually! What did it feel

:10:44. > :10:48.like being part of such a big TV show as well? It has done so well,

:10:49. > :10:54.such a massive part of the BBC schedule, what does that feel like?

:10:55. > :10:59.Just feel so lucky, it is so amazing, the six months that we

:11:00. > :11:04.shot, just so much fun and such wonderful people as well. It was

:11:05. > :11:07.amazing. Can you tell us the story of where you were? I know the story

:11:08. > :11:14.of where you were and how you found out and how your mum reacted! I was

:11:15. > :11:17.walking back to a cafe I was working in in north London to ask if I could

:11:18. > :11:22.pick up any shifts again because I had not worked there in a while, and

:11:23. > :11:28.I got the call on my walk to the cafe and I just kind of stopped in

:11:29. > :11:33.the street, rang my mum, and then just broke down, just a mess on the

:11:34. > :11:38.side of the street! And my mum was the same on the other end of the

:11:39. > :11:45.line. DG Noonan carry on the shifts just in case?! I stole the shifts!

:11:46. > :11:51.How about for you as well? The setting is just... It is gorgeous,

:11:52. > :11:56.that seemed a sunset was ridiculous, I remember in between shops just

:11:57. > :12:02.having to hide our phones and stuff because we were so obsessed with how

:12:03. > :12:06.beautiful the set is, it makes acting is so easy. Where in your

:12:07. > :12:14.course it do you hide a phone, Ellise?! Somewhere in there! The

:12:15. > :12:19.thing about dramas like Poldark is you see these beautiful scenes like

:12:20. > :12:23.this and they are charming and you feel swept away, but with those

:12:24. > :12:27.scenes, and strong female characters and strong male characters, with

:12:28. > :12:33.those scenes there has to be drama and something that keeps the viewer

:12:34. > :12:40.hooked and there was a rape scene last week on the drama between the

:12:41. > :12:45.vicar and his wife, and there was a lot of controversy surrounding the

:12:46. > :12:48.reaction because I think a lot of viewers want to see that it delete

:12:49. > :12:53.location and lovely love story and then it was quite shocking. How do

:12:54. > :12:58.you feel about how viewers have reacted to that? I think, in the

:12:59. > :13:06.books, Winston Graham wrote this relationship as being very harrowing

:13:07. > :13:12.and quite disturbing, and we didn't want to shy away from portraying

:13:13. > :13:16.that, portraying how despicable was born actually is and what Morwenna

:13:17. > :13:20.is enduring, so I think it is important to show the other side of

:13:21. > :13:25.things and how things could be in that era as well. The beauty in the

:13:26. > :13:34.show and the positivity is nothing without the risk of all the danger

:13:35. > :13:38.and... The darkness. And the darkness, so it was horrible to

:13:39. > :13:45.watch and also to work for, I know the actors found it quite tough, it

:13:46. > :13:49.is really important because it makes something to fight against and

:13:50. > :13:54.overcome. You are leading up to the last one, watching with your parents

:13:55. > :14:02.this weekend? Oh, get... Is that eight no?! Mine are not in the

:14:03. > :14:09.country! I will be speaking to mine afterwards! Good luck with it.

:14:10. > :14:16.These beautiful fellows are rainbow lorikeets.

:14:17. > :14:18.Unlike many birds, they don't eat seeds.

:14:19. > :14:22.Instead, they sip the nectar from flowers incredibly quickly.

:14:23. > :14:28.we've got some specialist camera equipment set up
