:00:10. > :00:12.More than 40 maternity units in England closed their doors

:00:13. > :00:14.to new admissions at some point last year.

:00:15. > :00:37.The Government says it's misleading to blame staff shortages.

:00:38. > :00:47.Sickness at the World Athletics Championships.

:00:48. > :00:50.Yes, organisers here confirm a number of cases of gastroenteritis

:01:14. > :01:18.Eloise Dixon is reported to have been attacked when her family drove

:01:19. > :01:22.Tesco has announced it's scrapping 5p carrier bags altogether in favour

:01:23. > :01:24.of the more expensive "bags for life."

:01:25. > :01:27.I'll be asking if other retailers will do the same.

:01:28. > :01:30.Also this morning, the challenge of finding the right pair of shoes

:01:31. > :01:34.We'll be getting the latest advice on a problem troubling many parents

:01:35. > :01:41.And Carol has the weather. Good morning. Good morning from the roof

:01:42. > :01:48.of the Broadcasting House in London. Grey skies. Dry at the moment. Rain

:01:49. > :01:52.and showers. Heavy downpours in East Anglia and the south-east. For the

:01:53. > :02:01.rest of the UK, it is sunshine and showers. I will have more details in

:02:02. > :02:02.15 minutes. Thank you, Carol. We will start with our top story.

:02:03. > :02:05.More than 40% of maternity wards in England closed their doors

:02:06. > :02:07.to expectant mothers at least once in 2016,

:02:08. > :02:12.42 out of 96 trusts in England that responded to a Freedom

:02:13. > :02:14.of Information request said they'd shut maternity wards temporarily

:02:15. > :02:24.For some years, maternity units have Dominic Hughes, has more.

:02:25. > :02:29.For some years, maternity units have been struggling to recruit enough

:02:30. > :02:34.midwives. The Royal College of Midwives says there is a shortfall

:02:35. > :02:38.of 3500. Based on a Freedom of Information request, weather says a

:02:39. > :02:44.growing number of maternity units are closing doors to new mothers. In

:02:45. > :02:48.England, 136 NHS Trust offer maternity services. Last year, 42 of

:02:49. > :02:54.them closed their doors at least one. There are 382 separate

:02:55. > :02:59.locations where they close, up by 20% since 2014. It is quite right

:03:00. > :03:03.hospitals take these drastic decisions when they want to put the

:03:04. > :03:07.interests of the patient's first. I don't blame them. But it is

:03:08. > :03:13.happening so often and is increasing year on year significantly. That

:03:14. > :03:17.suggests an underlying problem. You cannot keep trying to run the NHS on

:03:18. > :03:20.a shoestring, putting them through the biggest financial squeeze in its

:03:21. > :03:26.history and not expect standards of care to slip. Some closures were

:03:27. > :03:29.relatively short-lived and others lasted more than 24 hours. A

:03:30. > :03:35.Department of Health spokesperson said they needed temporary closures

:03:36. > :03:39.to manage peaks in admissions and it was misleading to use these figures

:03:40. > :03:43.to indicate a shortage of staff because of the difficulties of

:03:44. > :03:46.planning for birth. The Royal College of Midwives agreed it was

:03:47. > :03:52.sometimes right to close the unit by doing so ornate regular basis showed

:03:53. > :03:55.underlying problems with the number of expert staff. -- on a regular.

:03:56. > :03:58.Dominic Hughes, BBC News. A British woman is recovering

:03:59. > :04:04.in hospital after being shot while on holiday with

:04:05. > :04:07.her family in Brazil. Eloise Dixon from South London

:04:08. > :04:09.was driving with her partner and three children when they took

:04:10. > :04:13.a wrong turn into an area controlled Our South America correspondent,

:04:14. > :04:20.Katy Watson, has more. And innocent family on a summer

:04:21. > :04:25.holiday. -- an. Eloise Dickson made one mistake which nearly cost them

:04:26. > :04:31.their lives. It all happened about 90 miles south of Rio de Janeiro. A

:04:32. > :04:34.part of Brazil that is popular with tourists and has some of the most

:04:35. > :04:39.beautiful beaches in the country. The family had rented a car, and

:04:40. > :04:43.according to local media, were looking for a place to find water

:04:44. > :04:52.when they made a wrong turn into a a slum controlled by drug traffickers.

:04:53. > :04:59.Eloise Dickson in the front passenger seat was shot twice. Taken

:05:00. > :05:03.to a local hospital, she underwent two hours of surgery. This could so

:05:04. > :05:08.easily have been fatal, but she survived. TRANSLATION: The bullet

:05:09. > :05:13.passed through the abdomen and fortunately did not hit big blood

:05:14. > :05:19.vessels, important organs. She was lucky. The favela is in Brazil are

:05:20. > :05:23.notorious. Some can be so dangerous that even police are not welcome.

:05:28. > :05:32.cannot enter, the public service cannot enter. That is inadmissible.

:05:33. > :05:36.We have to take urgent measures. According to doctors, she is

:05:37. > :05:40.recovering well from surgery. Awake and talking, she is expected to be

:05:41. > :05:45.transferred to hospital in the city of Rio de Janeiro where she will

:05:46. > :05:47.continue her recovery. Katie Watson, BBC News.

:05:48. > :05:49.Scientists are warning that systems currently used to measure greenhouse

:05:50. > :05:51.gas emissions around the world are seriously flawed.

:05:52. > :05:55.A BBC investigation has found that not all gases which are produced

:05:56. > :05:58.A group of leading researchers in the field, have told

:06:02. > :06:09.poses a major threat to the Paris climate agreement.

:06:10. > :06:11.South African MPs will vote in secret later on a motion

:06:12. > :06:13.of no-confidence in President Jacob Zuma.

:06:14. > :06:16.The motion was tabled by the opposition in response

:06:17. > :06:18.to Mr Zuma's sacking of his highly respected Finance Minister

:06:19. > :06:21.earlier this year, a move which sparked nationwide protests.

:06:22. > :06:23.Mr Zuma has survived several previous votes of no-confidence

:06:24. > :06:32.The Welsh government has announced plans today,

:06:33. > :06:34.to invest over ?1 million in dental health.

:06:35. > :06:37.That means, 10,000 new NHS dental places will be created,

:06:38. > :06:39.in some of the most deprived parts of Wales.

:06:40. > :06:41.However, critics including The British Dental Association,

:06:42. > :06:45.say the Welsh government took more than ?6 million out of the Welsh

:06:46. > :06:47.dental budget in 2016, due to missed target,

:06:48. > :06:49.and today's investment does not replace that.

:06:50. > :06:53.For the last few years, finding an NHS dentist has been

:06:54. > :06:57.Patients have found it tough to enlist, whilst children have been

:06:58. > :06:59.waiting for long periods of time for orthodontic treatment

:07:00. > :07:04.In an effort to improve the situation, the Welsh government

:07:05. > :07:07.have announced today an initial investment of ?1.3 million worth,

:07:08. > :07:10.to create extra capacity for 10,000 new places.

:07:11. > :07:15.There will never be a time when resources are perfect.

:07:16. > :07:18.There are challenges across the whole country.

:07:19. > :07:20.I'm announcing specific funding today where we recognise

:07:21. > :07:27.there is an issue about more money going into parts of the country.

:07:28. > :07:29.Further funding has been allocated the specialist children's

:07:30. > :07:32.However, the British Dental Association insisted this investment

:07:33. > :07:36.They say it's just a quarter of the amount that's already been

:07:37. > :07:44.taken out of the dental budget in 2016 for not meeting targets.

:07:45. > :07:46.The Welsh government argued this is new funding,

:07:47. > :07:49.and they are disappointed the British Dental Association don't

:07:50. > :08:01.Recent reports show oral health amongst children was improving

:08:02. > :08:03.amongst Wales, but even the Secretary of Health admits

:08:04. > :08:06.the overall situation here is far from perfect.

:08:07. > :08:15.More details have emerged in the case of the British model

:08:16. > :08:19.who was allegedly drugged and held captive for nearly a week by a gang

:08:20. > :08:21.The lawyer representing Chloe Ayling,

:08:22. > :08:25.who's 20 and from South London, says she was told by her kidnappers

:08:26. > :08:28.that she would be sold as a slave in the Middle East.

:08:29. > :08:32.He says that she was acting under duress when she was seen shopping

:08:33. > :08:34.with her captor before she was freed.

:08:35. > :08:39.She was told that people were there watching her and ready to kill her

:08:40. > :08:45.if they tried anything. So she thought that the best idea was to go

:08:46. > :08:52.along with it and to, umm, be nice, in a way, to her captor. Because he

:08:53. > :09:04.told her that he wanted to release her.

:09:05. > :09:07.The organisers of the World Athletics Championships in London

:09:08. > :09:09.have revealed that a number of athletes have contracted

:09:10. > :09:12.Botswana's Isaac Makwala, who was one of the favorites

:09:13. > :09:15.for today's 400 metres final, was forced to withdraw from the 200

:09:16. > :09:18.German and Canadian athletes are also thought

:09:19. > :09:21.The organising committee says its working closely

:09:22. > :09:23.with Public Health England to manage the situation.

:09:24. > :09:26.Today is day five of the World Athletics Championships

:09:27. > :09:28.in London, but yesterday left many British fans disappointed

:09:29. > :09:32.after Laura Muir missed out on a medal in the 1,500 metre final.

:09:33. > :09:35.It was an extraordinary race and we will see more of that later.

:09:36. > :09:38.There were high hopes for hammer thrower, Sophie Hitchon,

:09:39. > :09:40.who ended up in tears after she ended seventh.

:09:41. > :09:43.Here are some of the highlights from our correspondent,

:09:44. > :09:50.Scotland's very own Laura Muir running for Great Britain. It was

:09:51. > :09:55.not the day British fans had hoped for. There were tears, but not of

:09:56. > :10:02.joy. Eight talented field and the odd were stacked against us. They

:10:03. > :10:08.had never had a woman in this race. They wanted to go out hard. With a

:10:09. > :10:12.look of determination etched across her face, the bronze medal was in

:10:13. > :10:22.her sight. Buy from nowhere, 800 metres specialist Katya fan speed to

:10:23. > :10:26.snatch the way at the end. Seven hundredths of a second separated her

:10:27. > :10:33.from her first global metal. I gave everything I could. It just went

:10:34. > :10:39.past me. I gave everything that I could. I guess considering what

:10:40. > :10:43.happened this year, I gave it all I could and that is all I can do.

:10:44. > :10:51.There was more heartbreak in the hammer cage. Sophie Hutchinson's

:10:52. > :10:56.heartbreak went nowhere. She never recovered. These images are becoming

:10:57. > :11:00.all too familiar at these championships. There was at least

:11:01. > :11:06.some British success to cheer. Daniel Talbot, the track favourites,

:11:07. > :11:14.went all the way in the first round of the 100m to make it to the

:11:15. > :11:19.semi-final. Hughes was one of the fastest losers. And return's second

:11:20. > :11:24.fastest 200 metre runner of all time also made it to the next round. With

:11:25. > :11:31.no Usain Bolt, there will be a new champion. Could Britain crashed the

:11:32. > :11:36.party? The pressure is ramping up. Expectations of fans are high,

:11:37. > :11:42.especially after what happened in Rio. Mo Farah's medal seems the only

:11:43. > :11:45.one for a target of six. They need to change, and soon. Natalie Pirks,

:11:46. > :11:52.BBC News, at the London Stadium. We will talk about that more this

:11:53. > :12:02.morning. Jessica is at the stadium this morning for us. Amazing. The

:12:03. > :12:05.pace is just staggering! It is hard for Steve, he is like come on, Laura

:12:06. > :12:11.Muir! But he has to be objective. After a four year stakeout

:12:12. > :12:14.by wildlife experts, footage of one of England's rarest

:12:15. > :12:17.animals, the Pine Mareten has finally been captured

:12:18. > :12:19.in the North York Moors. The sighting is the first living

:12:20. > :12:22.record in the area for around 35 years, and it's all thanks to

:12:23. > :12:25.The Yorkshire Pine Marten Project, run by NatureSpy and the Forestry

:12:26. > :12:29.Commission who set up various camera traps around the Moors

:12:30. > :12:39.in order to get a glimpse There is the little fellow. This is

:12:40. > :12:45.very rare footage. Oh, amazing. Excellent.

:12:46. > :12:54.Last night, a stunning lunar eclipse was visible in many parts of the

:12:55. > :12:57.world. We will have a look. They happen when the Earth passes between

:12:58. > :13:02.the sun and the moon, casting a shadow. This one can be seen on many

:13:03. > :13:06.continents, though some countries could only see part of it. A second

:13:07. > :13:10.full eclipse will have another 24th of August in North America, the

:13:11. > :13:17.first of its kind in nearly a century. That first one was from

:13:18. > :13:24.Greece. Amazing. Wonderful. Good morning. Welcome back. I know you

:13:25. > :13:27.were here last week and things, but... Talking about beautiful

:13:28. > :13:37.things in the sky, but at this gorgeous picture of a RAF Tornado

:13:38. > :13:49.flying through a rainbow. You would not think it is possible. That looks

:13:50. > :13:53.like Guardians of the Galaxy. Surely there is no filter on that. Don't be

:13:54. > :13:56.such a cynic. The newspapers. The Daily Telegraph. Interesting. We had

:13:57. > :14:01.the complete opposite of this last week. According to the former GCHQ

:14:02. > :14:07.boss, he is saying children must get digital skills to keep ahead of

:14:08. > :14:10.Britain's rivals. Parents should encourage their children to spend

:14:11. > :14:17.more time on line to improve cyber skills and save the country rather

:14:18. > :14:21.than mooching around on the streets. That is an interesting point of

:14:22. > :14:26.view. Also they are talking about this British mother who was shot in

:14:27. > :14:32.Rio after taking a wrong turn and ending up in a favela. That was a

:14:33. > :14:37.dangerous situation. According to experts, she is lucky to be alive.

:14:38. > :14:41.She was shot twice and it went around her stomach and did not hit

:14:42. > :14:46.any major organ. Amazing. The Times this morning. Tesco will stop

:14:47. > :14:54.selling disposable plastic bags. You will talk about this this morning.

:14:55. > :15:03.The picture is of Roman Abramovich who were separating from his wife.

:15:04. > :15:07.Zukova, I think is her name. There is talk about the value of the

:15:08. > :15:24.settlement. It could be ?7 billion. Wow! I used to call him Abramovich,

:15:25. > :15:29.but it is pronounced different, according to a friend who knows.

:15:30. > :15:36.Lots of details on the Daily Mirror about this model who says she was

:15:37. > :15:44.kidnapped, saying the captor slept in the same bed as her. She is now

:15:45. > :15:48.back in the UK after six days. The front page of the Sun, lots of

:15:49. > :15:53.fallout over Channel 4 broadcasting these tapes of Diana talking about

:15:54. > :15:58.Prince Charles. What have you got, Steph? Holidays. I really like every

:15:59. > :16:03.year looking at where people are going and what is on the up and what

:16:04. > :16:08.is on the down. We love cruises. I talked about this not long ago. We

:16:09. > :16:12.are going on four times as many as 20 years ago but it's interesting

:16:13. > :16:18.the countries on the up in of ones we are visiting. Dubai, a lot of

:16:19. > :16:24.people going to Dubai. Poland, Croatia, Iceland, Romania. On the

:16:25. > :16:27.wane, Turkey, Tunisia, Egypt, Kenya, nobody will be shocked given what's

:16:28. > :16:31.happened there recently but interesting to see more people going

:16:32. > :16:36.on cruises. I don't know about cruises, being stuck on a boat with

:16:37. > :16:40.the same people for that long, I think I would go a bit loopy! I'm

:16:41. > :16:46.with you on that! I just spent a week on a boat and it was all white.

:16:47. > :16:50.Everyone get all right? Year. A very small boat and it went all right --

:16:51. > :17:05.all right -- year. -- yeah. I have signed you up, you are in!

:17:06. > :17:10.Would you like to see a big plant? I love this story. Julia and the

:17:11. > :17:15.Beanstalk. You've often heard these stories about plants that lay

:17:16. > :17:21.dormant for many years and this is an Agaba eight Americana, planted 18

:17:22. > :17:28.years ago by the previous owners in this lady's Garden. She once put a

:17:29. > :17:34.blanket over it in a harsh winter, she never watered it, then it grew

:17:35. > :17:40.30 foot in four weeks. You can see houses next to it. She is down

:17:41. > :17:46.there. Tiny little lady. Then it's a massive plant. Is surely a Borrower?

:17:47. > :17:50.She isn't, she is average size I believe. That's amazing! Let's all

:17:51. > :17:52.go on holiday, Steph! You're watching

:17:53. > :17:54.Breakfast from BBC News. A number of athletes competing

:17:55. > :17:59.at the World Championships in London More than 40 maternity wards

:18:00. > :18:02.in England closed their doors to expectant mothers at least once

:18:03. > :18:20.last year according to data obtained Carol is out on the roof of our

:18:21. > :18:22.London newsroom this morning to have a look at the weather. Not looking

:18:23. > :18:29.fantastic as yet? No, for some it's not looking

:18:30. > :18:34.fantastic unless you like the rain because there's the chance of heavy

:18:35. > :18:39.downpours today, especially in East Anglia and south-east England.

:18:40. > :18:42.There's also showers in the forecast, some of those will be

:18:43. > :18:47.heavy and thundery. If we take a look at the whole of the UK at 9am

:18:48. > :18:51.running to the afternoon, we can see where we've got rain in a curl

:18:52. > :18:55.coming in across parts of England and down to the south coast. In the

:18:56. > :19:00.centre of that there's a lot of cloud, brightening up for a bit, but

:19:01. > :19:04.raining quite a bit too. Out to the west, some showers, and also in the

:19:05. > :19:08.north, but in between those we could see sunshine but even some of those

:19:09. > :19:12.could be heavy and possibly thundery. 4pm in Scotland, it's the

:19:13. > :19:17.mix of sunshine and showers and again some of the showers will be

:19:18. > :19:20.thundery but not all of them. As we come into north-west England,

:19:21. > :19:25.similar scenario, sunshine and showers but north north-east England

:19:26. > :19:28.heading to the Pennines and East Anglia, the south-east, the Midlands

:19:29. > :19:32.and the south coast, that's where we've got the rain and we could see

:19:33. > :19:36.large rainfall totals especially in Norfolk and Suffolk in a short

:19:37. > :19:40.period. There could be some surface water issues. As we go further west

:19:41. > :19:44.in the direction of south-west England and Wales, you can see again

:19:45. > :19:48.we're looking at the mixture of sunshine and showers, some of those

:19:49. > :19:52.are likely to be heavy and thundery, especially across Wales. As we go

:19:53. > :19:55.across the Irish Sea into Northern Ireland again we're looking at the

:19:56. > :20:00.mixture of bright spells, sunshine and showers. As we head through the

:20:01. > :20:03.course of the evening we will still have some of that rain sweeping in

:20:04. > :20:06.across parts of northern England, through the Midlands and down

:20:07. > :20:10.towards Dorset for example and heading over to Somerset as well.

:20:11. > :20:15.Temperature wise we're looking at ten to 13. Those are indicative of

:20:16. > :20:19.towns and cities. In rural areas in the north it will feel quite chilly.

:20:20. > :20:23.That's how we start the day tomorrow, with that arm of rain,

:20:24. > :20:28.that big curl, and if anything it will pull back to the south-east.

:20:29. > :20:31.Again there's the chance of some torrential downpours, particularly

:20:32. > :20:35.across East Anglia and the south-east, again leading to the

:20:36. > :20:40.risk of issues with surface water flooding. But moved to the west and

:20:41. > :20:43.the north, brighter skies with some sunshine with fewer showers. Them

:20:44. > :20:47.for Thursday we've got the dregs of that rain across the south-east,

:20:48. > :20:51.that will eventually clear awake and for most of us we're looking at a

:20:52. > :20:54.dry day and make the most of it, because if you look to the

:20:55. > :21:01.north-west of Scotland there's something else waiting in the winds

:21:06. > :21:08.you have a sturdy brolly at hand because you're going to need it.

:21:09. > :21:14.I'm going to put the normal brolly away and bring out the sturdy one! I

:21:15. > :21:18.don't think I have any sturdy ones! Teenagers across Scotland will be

:21:19. > :21:21.waking to their Highers results this morning, the Scottish

:21:22. > :21:22.equivalent of A-levels. The country has traditionally had

:21:23. > :21:25.a strong education system, but in recent years

:21:26. > :21:27.standards have declined. As the Scottish Government admits

:21:28. > :21:29.things need to improve, John Maguire has been to find out

:21:30. > :21:39.what's being done to improve Tonight these youngsters are

:21:40. > :21:44.practising their stop frame animation skills. Who knows, a

:21:45. > :21:50.future macro three all Wallace and Gromit might be created right here

:21:51. > :21:54.in Cambuslang on the outskirts of Glasgow -- Morph. This youth cloud,

:21:55. > :21:59.one of nine centres called universal connections, are funded by south

:22:00. > :22:05.Lanarkshire council's budget. Qualifications here are offered that

:22:06. > :22:09.aren't offered in other schools. There's a Duke of Edinburgh Awards

:22:10. > :22:13.and Rebecca has been training for her Gold expedition. This morning

:22:14. > :22:16.she is receiving the results of her Highers and she believes the school

:22:17. > :22:23.has prepared her well for the future. Teachers are there to

:22:24. > :22:28.prepare you for what you need so you just have to aim for that. At the

:22:29. > :22:34.same time some subjects like PSE, they can get you ready for going out

:22:35. > :22:38.in the world. Her mum, Cheryl, is a member of the national parent Forum

:22:39. > :22:44.and has a keen interest in Scottish education. She says children can

:22:45. > :22:47.succeed if they're supported. I appreciate education is going

:22:48. > :22:51.through so many changes, but it's now about narrowing it and working

:22:52. > :22:54.with the parents of the schools and local authorities and government to

:22:55. > :22:58.bring everyone together to make it more attainable. But recent years

:22:59. > :23:05.have seen standards decline. So what's been going on? There's

:23:06. > :23:09.certainly no single cause. I think the introduction of Scotland's

:23:10. > :23:15.national curriculum, which has been going on for some 13 years now, has

:23:16. > :23:23.been badly organised and has led to a number of serious adverse

:23:24. > :23:27.consequences, not least of them being excessive teacher workload and

:23:28. > :23:31.loss of morale as a result of that. The Deputy First Minister John

:23:32. > :23:34.Sweeney is in charge of education. Today he's visiting a community

:23:35. > :23:39.enterprise in Kilmarnock that works with everyone from the elderly, ex-

:23:40. > :23:45.prisoners to children struggling at school. He accepts improvements need

:23:46. > :23:49.to be made, he wants children from poorer backgrounds to do better and

:23:50. > :23:55.he believes schools and teachers are the best people to affect change.

:23:56. > :23:58.It's at the heart of the reforms I want to take into the curriculum, to

:23:59. > :24:02.make sure a generation of young people today can have access to the

:24:03. > :24:06.best quality of education and the best opportunities available to

:24:07. > :24:11.them. We want to make sure we do that in consort with the education

:24:12. > :24:14.profession to make sure that is able to be deployed in every single

:24:15. > :24:17.school, the length and Brett Favre Scotland. And the main teaching

:24:18. > :24:24.union wants more support for staff -- length and breadth. Teachers need

:24:25. > :24:27.to spend their time working on the improvement of the learning of young

:24:28. > :24:31.people. We need more than just promises in these areas, weenie

:24:32. > :24:35.actually need action from government and educational agencies -- we

:24:36. > :24:40.actually need. At the youth cloud the band is in full swing and full

:24:41. > :24:44.volume as teenagers across Scotland tear open envelopes or are informed

:24:45. > :24:48.via text, anxious to discover how they've done. This morning was past

:24:49. > :24:52.results aren't just important to them but also to the government and

:24:53. > :24:58.to the country. John Maguire, BBC News.

:24:59. > :25:07.I thought there was going to be another one! We will be speaking to

:25:08. > :25:11.a student in that piece live later on to see how they're doing. If

:25:12. > :25:12.you're getting your results this morning then good luck!

:25:13. > :25:19.to buy your first pair of school shoes?

:25:20. > :25:23.Well, it seems these days, more than half of parents don't

:25:24. > :25:24.get their children properly measured.

:25:25. > :25:27.In the next half-hour we'll find out why that could mean

:25:28. > :25:35.Did you know that you're meant to wait until the end of the summer to

:25:36. > :25:41.buy shoes? I did not know this and this could explain a lot. Because

:25:42. > :25:46.your feet grow more because... This is where I have been going wrong.

:25:47. > :25:50.You should wait right before school to buy school shoes. I am so

:25:51. > :25:53.disorganised! I normally do buy them late but I didn't know that was the

:25:54. > :29:12.reason! Time Now, though, it's back

:29:13. > :29:15.to Louise and Dan. This is Breakfast with

:29:16. > :29:29.Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. We'll bring you all the latest news

:29:30. > :29:32.and sport in a moment. It's been revealed contaminated eggs

:29:33. > :29:36.from Europe have been distributed We'll be asking the Food Standards

:29:37. > :29:45.Agency how concerned we should be. Bucket and spade beach holidays

:29:46. > :29:55.are booming in foreign travel. At 7:50, Steph will be here to

:29:56. > :30:07.explain how holiday habits have changed. I was struggling to read

:30:08. > :30:11.the time there. I felt like we needed a fresh start, so, here I am.

:30:12. > :30:14.And from being confirmed as the next Dr Who, to "Doctor Who?"

:30:15. > :30:16.After 8:30, we'll find out about actress Jodie Whittaker's

:30:17. > :30:19.new role in the BBC thriller, where she's definitely not

:30:20. > :30:32.I have to apologise for perhaps the worst reading of the time in BBC

:30:33. > :30:33.history. All that is still to come. But now, a summary of this morning's

:30:34. > :30:34.main news. More than 40% of maternity wards

:30:35. > :30:37.in England closed their doors to expectant mothers

:30:38. > :30:39.at least once in 2016, 42 out of 96 trusts in England that

:30:40. > :30:44.responded to a Freedom of Information request said they'd

:30:45. > :30:46.shut maternity wards temporarily Our health correspondent,

:30:47. > :31:00.Dominic Hughes, has more. For some years, maternity units

:31:01. > :31:03.have been struggling The Royal College of Midwives says

:31:04. > :31:14.there's a shortfall of around 3,500. Now, based on a Freedom

:31:15. > :31:17.of Information request, Labour says a growing number

:31:18. > :31:20.of maternity units are closing doors In England, 136 NHS Trusts

:31:21. > :31:26.offer maternity services. Last year, 42 of them

:31:27. > :31:30.closed their doors to new admissions There were 382 separate locations

:31:31. > :31:35.where units were closed, I think it is quite right hospitals

:31:36. > :31:41.take these drastic decisions when they want to put the interests

:31:42. > :31:44.of the patient's safety first. But the fact it is happening

:31:45. > :31:52.so often and is increasing year on year significantly suggests

:31:53. > :31:55.an underlying problem. You cannot keep trying to run

:31:56. > :32:00.the NHS on a shoestring, putting them through the biggest

:32:01. > :32:02.financial squeeze in its history, and not expect standards

:32:03. > :32:05.of care to slip. Some closures were relatively

:32:06. > :32:08.short-lived but others lasted more A Department of Health spokesperson

:32:09. > :32:16.said that Trusts need to use temporary closures to manage peaks

:32:17. > :32:19.in admissions and it was misleading to use these

:32:20. > :32:21.figures to indicate a shortage of staff because of the difficulties

:32:22. > :32:24.around planning for birth. The Royal College of Midwives agreed

:32:25. > :32:28.it was sometimes right to close a unit, but that doing

:32:29. > :32:31.so on a regular basis showed underlying problems

:32:32. > :32:40.with the number of expert staff. After 8am, we'll be speaking to the

:32:41. > :32:40.Royal College of Midwives about the closures.

:32:41. > :32:43.A British woman is being treated in hospital after being shot

:32:44. > :32:45.while on holiday with her family in Brazil.

:32:46. > :32:48.Eloise Dixon from South London was driving with her partner

:32:49. > :32:51.and three children when they took a wrong turn into an area controlled

:32:52. > :32:56.She was shot twice and the medics treating her say she's lucky

:32:57. > :33:00.More details have emerged in the case of the British model

:33:01. > :33:03.who was allegedly drugged and held captive for nearly a week

:33:04. > :33:06.The lawyer representing Chloe Ayling, who's 20

:33:07. > :33:09.and from South London, says she was told by her kidnappers

:33:10. > :33:13.that she would be sold as a slave in the Middle East.

:33:14. > :33:16.He explained that she was acting under duress when she was seen

:33:17. > :33:26.shopping with her captor before she was freed.

:33:27. > :33:28.Scientists are warning that systems currently used to measure greenhouse

:33:29. > :33:30.gas emissions around the world are seriously flawed.

:33:31. > :33:34.A BBC investigation has found that not all gases which are produced

:33:35. > :33:37.A group of leading researchers in the field, have told

:33:38. > :33:41.the Counting Carbon programme on BBC Radio4 that the issue poses a major

:33:42. > :33:44.threat to the Paris climate agreement.

:33:45. > :33:47.South African MPs will vote in secret later on a motion

:33:48. > :33:48.of no-confidence in President Jacob Zuma.

:33:49. > :33:51.The motion was tabled by the opposition in response

:33:52. > :33:54.to Mr Zuma's sacking of his highly respected Finance Minister

:33:55. > :33:56.earlier this year, a move which sparked nationwide protests.

:33:57. > :33:59.Mr Zuma has survived several previous votes of no-confidence

:34:00. > :34:24.A victim of the 9/11 attack in New York City has been identified 16

:34:25. > :34:26.years on. The man's identity was uncovered when DNA was retested with

:34:27. > :34:32.new technology. The Welsh government has announced

:34:33. > :34:35.plans to invest more than ?1 million It says the move will create 10,000

:34:36. > :34:39.new NHS dental places, including in some of the most

:34:40. > :34:42.deprived parts of Wales. However, critics, including

:34:43. > :34:43.The British Dental Association, say the Welsh government took more

:34:44. > :34:47.than ?6 million out of the Welsh dental budget last year

:34:48. > :34:49.and the investment announced today After a four-year stakeout

:34:50. > :34:53.by wildlife experts, footage of one of England's rarest

:34:54. > :34:56.animals, the pine mareten, has finally been captured

:34:57. > :34:58.in the North York Moors. The sighting is the first

:34:59. > :35:02.in the area for more than 30 years. The Yorkshire Pine Marten Project

:35:03. > :35:05.managed to capture the footage after setting up camera

:35:06. > :35:13.traps around the Moors. There it is. I am speaking quietly

:35:14. > :35:28.because I don't want to scare it but it is on the television... A job in

:35:29. > :35:29.spring watch beckons, surely. Last night, a stunning lunar eclipse

:35:30. > :35:32.was visible in many parts Eclipses happen when the Earth

:35:33. > :35:36.passes between the sun and the moon, This one could be viewed

:35:37. > :35:39.on several continents, although many countries

:35:40. > :35:41.could only see part of it. A second full eclipse will occur

:35:42. > :35:44.on the 21st of August over North America, the first of its kind

:35:45. > :35:56.in nearly a century. The pictures are stunning, aren't

:35:57. > :35:57.they? Shall we talk about the athletics again?

:35:58. > :35:59.Last night saw one of the most dramatic races

:36:00. > :36:02.of the World Athletics Championships so far as Laura Muir missed out

:36:03. > :36:06.on a medal in the 1,500 meters by the smallest of margins.

:36:07. > :36:14.Jessica is at the London Stadium for us this morning.

:36:15. > :36:23.She is in lane number five. Good morning. Good morning. As you said,

:36:24. > :36:31.one of the best races I have ever seen. That is exactly why we love

:36:32. > :36:34.elite sport. I am standing on the finish line just to highlight the

:36:35. > :36:40.fine margins between winning a medal and missing out. Laura Muir was

:36:41. > :36:45.just, just beaten, but it was a brave run by the 20 foyer rolled. It

:36:46. > :36:51.was a tough field. It included the Olympic champion. She was in the mix

:36:52. > :36:56.right until the end but was just hit on the line by South Africa's Kasta

:36:57. > :37:08.Semenya. I gave it everything I could. Just

:37:09. > :37:13.that last 50 metres I was tied up. I gave everything that I could.

:37:14. > :37:15.Considering what has happened this year, I gave it all I could and that

:37:16. > :37:17.is all I can do. Disappointment, too,

:37:18. > :37:19.for the Olympic bronze medallist, Sophie Hitchon, she couldn't quite

:37:20. > :37:21.match her achievements Her best effort of 72.32

:37:22. > :37:25.in the hammer final wasn't enough for a medal as she finished

:37:26. > :37:39.in seventh place. Yeah, I just, umm... I couldn't

:37:40. > :37:44.quite find the rhythm that I had in qualification. I was disappointed. I

:37:45. > :37:47.did not produce it tonight, yeah... Better news for team

:37:48. > :37:49.captain Eilidh Doyle, was one of two British women

:37:50. > :37:53.who made it into the semi finals There was a great performance

:37:54. > :38:09.by Britain's Danny Talbot He qualified for the semi-finals,

:38:10. > :38:13.with a lifetime best of 20.16 seconds, finishing just behind

:38:14. > :38:15.the reigning olympic champion Fellow Britsons, Zharnel Hughes

:38:16. > :38:19.and Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake, We were expecting to see the fastest

:38:20. > :38:24.man in the world over 200 metres, Botswana's Isaac Makwala,

:38:25. > :38:26.run last night. But he was absent from his heat

:38:27. > :38:29.and it later emerged he was one of a number of athletes suffering

:38:30. > :38:32.from gastroenteritis at one And now a round-up of the rest of

:38:33. > :38:41.the day's sport. Moeen Ali was England's hero once

:38:42. > :38:44.again, as he and his teammates secured a 3-1 series

:38:45. > :38:46.win over South Africa. Ali took 25 wickets over

:38:47. > :38:49.the course of the series. He helped England claim a 177-run

:38:50. > :38:52.victory in the fourth test, and also ensured that the team

:38:53. > :38:56.climbs to third in the International Cricket Council's Test

:38:57. > :38:57.rankings, above Australia. It's a first home Test series win

:38:58. > :39:00.against South Africa since 1998. And a first for Joe Root

:39:01. > :39:14.as England captain. It is great to see Moeen Ali in

:39:15. > :39:21.particular step up and put in some unbelievable performances to win

:39:22. > :39:25.games for us. Hopefully that can be something that is repeated on a

:39:26. > :39:29.number of occasions in the future. But I think throughout the whole

:39:30. > :39:30.series the squad has performed very well.

:39:31. > :39:32.Could Gareth Bale be heading back to the Premier League?

:39:33. > :39:35.Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho says he will "fight

:39:36. > :39:37.with other coaches" to sign the 28-year-old Welshman.

:39:38. > :39:41.The two clubs play each other tonight in the Uefa Super Cup in

:39:42. > :39:43.Bale joined the Spanish champions from Tottenham in 2013,

:39:44. > :39:47.for a then-world record fee of ?85 million, and has since won

:39:48. > :39:51.Mourinho says he'll be waiting for Bale if he doesn't figure

:39:52. > :40:15.No morning sessions today at the World Athletics Championships. But

:40:16. > :40:22.Kyle Langford is going on the 800 metre final. His parents owned a

:40:23. > :40:30.fish and chip shop, interestingly, and say if he wasn't going to be and

:40:31. > :40:37.could be a potato peeler in the family business. -- an athlete. I

:40:38. > :40:46.find peeling potatoes very therapeutic. That is one of my pet

:40:47. > :40:46.hates. Perfect. There we go, dinner's on!

:40:47. > :40:49.As we have been hearing, lots of action on the track

:40:50. > :40:52.and field at the World Athletics Championships and lots more to come.

:40:53. > :41:06.Britain's Kyle Langford finished second in the semi-final to take an

:41:07. > :41:14.automatic one slot. He is just 21 and got the junior title in 2014.

:41:15. > :41:20.This is the 400 metre Olympic champion. He cruised into the 400

:41:21. > :41:28.metre final and is expected to go further. He is hoping to do the 200

:41:29. > :41:31.and 400 metre double. Next up, the European champion from 2014, a

:41:32. > :41:37.two-time Commonwealth silver-medallist. She was also voted

:41:38. > :41:43.the British team champion. She says she is in good shape coming into the

:41:44. > :41:53.event. She races at 835 tonight. This Frenchman won the Olympic title

:41:54. > :41:57.here in 2012. He is hoping to win again. He only started training in

:41:58. > :42:01.May this year after a foot injury disqualified him from the final. If

:42:02. > :42:05.you want to keep up with the day's action, tune in to BBC Two from

:42:06. > :42:26.6:30pm to 10:30pm tonight. That is a bit of a rave tune, that,

:42:27. > :42:28.isn't it? Might have to get my whistle out. Waking everyone up. The

:42:29. > :42:28.main stories. More than 40% of maternity wards

:42:29. > :42:31.in England closed their doors to expectant mothers

:42:32. > :42:42.at least once in 2016, A number of athletes competing at

:42:43. > :42:50.the World Championships in London have fallen ill with suspected

:42:51. > :42:57.gastroenteritis. We have already had a sturdy umbrella alert from Carol.

:42:58. > :43:02.What else? Good morning. It may be dry for you now, but rain and

:43:03. > :43:09.showers are in the forecast. In London, it is quite thick. The cloud

:43:10. > :43:15.is breaking in places. Rain later on, but sunshine first of all. It

:43:16. > :43:20.will be heavy. Some of them will be thundery. Today, a chance of some

:43:21. > :43:24.downpours. Especially so across East Anglia and also south-east England.

:43:25. > :43:29.It may well lead to some surface water issues. Something to consider.

:43:30. > :43:33.This morning, a lot of dry weather around as well. Sunshine to start

:43:34. > :43:39.the day and showers in the north and west. Also a bit of rain rotating

:43:40. > :43:42.around an area of low pressure. It will continue to be with us through

:43:43. > :43:47.the day and temperatures rise bringing with it downpours with

:43:48. > :43:52.showers in the south-east. Sunshine and showers in Scotland this

:43:53. > :43:56.afternoon. Some could be heavy as well. North-east England, sunshine

:43:57. > :44:00.and showers. North-east England is where we start to run into the rain

:44:01. > :44:06.to be some will be heavy and thundery. That extends through the

:44:07. > :44:11.Pennines, East Anglia, the south-east, Kent, in the direction

:44:12. > :44:18.of the Isle of Wight. Keep that in mind. As we go further west, what we

:44:19. > :44:21.are looking at is again a mix of sunshine and showers. The West

:44:22. > :44:27.Country, Wales, some showers heavy, some will be thundery. Temperatures

:44:28. > :44:32.will come down under those. Northern Ireland, sunshine and showers. Not

:44:33. > :44:37.as heavy. Also not as frequent as in some parts of the UK. As we go to

:44:38. > :44:42.the evening and overnight, where we have the rain today it will drift

:44:43. > :44:46.further north. Again, we have it in north-east England heading down to

:44:47. > :44:51.the Midlands, east Wales, Dorset, Somerset as well. Temperature-wise,

:44:52. > :44:56.looking at 10- 15 in towns and cities. In rural areas, especially

:44:57. > :45:00.in the north of the country, it will feel quite chilly. So, we start

:45:01. > :45:04.tomorrow again with this rain moving around an area of low pressure

:45:05. > :45:08.driving our weather. And through the course of the day it drags it down

:45:09. > :45:13.once again towards the south-east. Once again tomorrow there is the

:45:14. > :45:16.risk of downpours across East Anglia and south-east England which, again,

:45:17. > :45:21.may well lead to surface water issues. Moving away from this area

:45:22. > :45:25.and for the rest of the UK we are looking at dry conditions with some

:45:26. > :45:29.sunshine. By the time we get to Thursday, we have the last of the

:45:30. > :45:33.rain in the south-east. That eventually will pull away leaving

:45:34. > :45:37.many of us with a dry day with sunny spells. However, take a look at what

:45:38. > :45:43.is happening in north-west Scotland. A weather front not too far away.

:45:44. > :45:46.That is coming our way as well. In the next few days, especially across

:45:47. > :46:00.south-east England and East Anglia, it is going to be rather wet.

:46:01. > :46:03.The 5p carrier bag charge was introduced in 2015,

:46:04. > :46:06.but now one major supermarket is taking it a step further

:46:07. > :46:08.by scrapping single use bags altogether.

:46:09. > :46:22.Prices probably going up? You are right. Tesco have announced this is.

:46:23. > :46:25.From the end of this month Tesco will stop the sale

:46:26. > :46:29.Shoppers will have to bring their own or buy a bag

:46:30. > :46:33.We've had the 5p charge for single use carrier bags in England

:46:34. > :46:44.When it first came in obviously it was a bit of a shock because we're

:46:45. > :46:48.not used to paying for bags but I really think, a lot of the

:46:49. > :46:55.supermarkets put their money into good causes rather than keep it for

:46:56. > :47:00.themselves. If I have to pay the MP it's my own fault so I don't mind,

:47:01. > :47:03.it's reasonable, yeah. If you can remember to take the bag, that's the

:47:04. > :47:04.biggest problem. I've got one in the car now.

:47:05. > :47:07.James Lowman is the chief executive of the Association

:47:08. > :47:11.of Convenience Stores, which has over 30,000 members.

:47:12. > :47:18.Good morning. Good morning. What are your thoughts? The carrier bag

:47:19. > :47:24.charge has been released accessible, it's seen a reduction in usage of

:47:25. > :47:29.plastic bags. As Bagai said on the film, retailers can put that towards

:47:30. > :47:36.local good causes -- as that guy. When it came in in England and Wales

:47:37. > :47:40.all retailers were covered and smaller retailers had to charge.

:47:41. > :47:45.Smaller businesses are example from the charge. A third choose to do it

:47:46. > :47:48.voluntarily so we think it would be easier for everyone covered by the

:47:49. > :47:54.charge so everyone knew what was going to happen when they turn up.

:47:55. > :47:59.Why is there a difference in terms of a lot of your members not having

:48:00. > :48:02.to charge? There's an exemption that has been brought in when the

:48:03. > :48:07.legislation came in in England, other parts of the UK the charging

:48:08. > :48:12.covers everyone. It would be simpler for everyone and it would reduce

:48:13. > :48:16.carrier bag use, in Wales and we talked to members there, they say

:48:17. > :48:20.it's been good, they've reduced the number of bags they are using and

:48:21. > :48:24.they are generating money to give to local good causes and that works

:48:25. > :48:28.well. Usually we often ask for exemptions for small businesses, in

:48:29. > :48:32.this case we are asking for the opposite. How has it gone down with

:48:33. > :48:36.customers? We heard from a couple of shoppers there, what are people

:48:37. > :48:43.telling your members? Generally well. The vast majority like the

:48:44. > :48:47.charges being in place. As we heard there, people get used to carrying a

:48:48. > :48:50.bag with them when they go shopping. We were concerned about

:48:51. > :48:54.inconvenience stores because often it's an unplanned and people might

:48:55. > :48:58.not remember to bring bags, but in reality talking to members in Wales

:48:59. > :49:02.especially they say that hasn't been a problem and they like having the

:49:03. > :49:06.opportunity to charge and give the money to local causes and reduce

:49:07. > :49:10.plastic use. Why do you think now Tesco think we should move to the

:49:11. > :49:15.10p carrier bags? They are saying they are bags for life but there's

:49:16. > :49:19.still a lot of people that won't use them for life. The point of bags for

:49:20. > :49:25.life is you can take them back and have them replaced. Tesco is simply

:49:26. > :49:29.saying they have still got a lot of 5p bags they are charging for and

:49:30. > :49:33.giving away and the purpose of the policy from the government is to

:49:34. > :49:37.reduce plastic bag usage, single use usage, so it is quite brave for them

:49:38. > :49:40.to go this extra step, that's great, the government could do more by

:49:41. > :49:46.bringing small businesses in as well. Will we see more supermarkets

:49:47. > :49:50.doing that? Possibly, many of our members use bags for life and try to

:49:51. > :49:55.make a feature of that, some have charges above 5p for that reason for

:49:56. > :49:59.longer lasting bags so we will see changes I think but fundamentally we

:50:00. > :50:04.need to get the clarity and consistency across all retailers of

:50:05. > :50:09.the 5p bag charge. We've seen from the figures plastic bag usage for

:50:10. > :50:12.them, great news, environmental groups very happy about that but

:50:13. > :50:16.what about the money made from selling them, what does it go into?

:50:17. > :50:23.It was mentioned briefly by yourself and one of our vox pops? It will be

:50:24. > :50:27.used for a local school or local charities. In Wales there's been an

:50:28. > :50:33.emphasis on environmental charities. When we talk to members and we ask

:50:34. > :50:37.if they voluntarily charge, a third of them do so, if they voluntarily

:50:38. > :50:41.charge, or in Wales if you are part of the compulsory charge, where does

:50:42. > :50:45.the money go, it is normally local good causes and it's a great focal

:50:46. > :50:50.point for people to give their extra support to local causes. Are you one

:50:51. > :50:54.of those people like me who has bags all over the house ready to take to

:50:55. > :51:02.the shops? I always have a bag in my bag I take to work. People are now

:51:03. > :51:05.prepared in that way and they have got used to it, which is great.

:51:06. > :51:13.James, thanks for your time. We've had lots of messages? Elaine says

:51:14. > :51:18.I've I would be more inclined to buy if they were black. I object to the

:51:19. > :51:22.advertisement. This woman says I do one online shop each week and my

:51:23. > :51:27.choices to help the delivery guy load six crates of individual

:51:28. > :51:31.groceries, taking ten minutes, rather than pay for plastic bags so

:51:32. > :51:34.he can dump them in the kitchen. It depends on how quickly Tesco want

:51:35. > :51:39.their drivers to deliver the groceries. Their choice, not mine.

:51:40. > :51:44.Sometimes they let you give back the bags. Richard says why not return to

:51:45. > :51:51.paper bags and resize them? And this woman talks about the amount of

:51:52. > :51:55.plastic being used around vegetables -- read cycle them. That's my

:51:56. > :52:03.favourite message of the day. -- recycle them. Thanks very much for

:52:04. > :52:07.your messages on that. Keep those in. We will read them later.

:52:08. > :52:13.When was the last time you had your children's feet measured?

:52:14. > :52:21.Probably six months ago. Are you trying to make me feel guilty?

:52:22. > :52:23.Well, according to the College of Podiatry,

:52:24. > :52:26.more than half of kids in the UK have suffered foot damage

:52:27. > :52:28.because of ill fitting or unsuitable shoes.

:52:29. > :52:31.So if you're preparing to buy new shoes your little ones before

:52:32. > :52:34.they go back to school, you might want to watch

:52:35. > :52:38.Breakfast's Jayne McCubbin has been to meet one family and get advice

:52:39. > :52:41.that could help avoid big problems for little feet.

:52:42. > :52:52.Ready? Ready. Steady? Yeah. Go! We are with the Kelly family in

:52:53. > :52:59.Whitby and we are on the hunt for... Shoes. Shoes. Expensive definitely.

:53:00. > :53:03.Feet grow into all the age of 21 and with three children and two

:53:04. > :53:09.stepchildren, Amy has a lot of shoes to buy. Their feet seemed to grow so

:53:10. > :53:16.fast! Definitely! Chase's do especially, he has a super massive

:53:17. > :53:22.big to that's got a mind of his own! When was the last time you had your

:53:23. > :53:25.kids' feet measured? I'm going to have to be honest, I don't think

:53:26. > :53:35.I've ever had any of them measured ever. So this is it, this is the

:53:36. > :53:38.lot? This is it. Let me ask you, these all fit? I hope so. Let's find

:53:39. > :53:48.out! Because today we are bringing in the

:53:49. > :53:53.big guns to check out the small feat which reside here. I hope you're not

:53:54. > :54:02.going to tell me off! Are you going to show me your feet? Emma Supple is

:54:03. > :54:08.from the College of Podiatry. A nice good heel, that is too small, isn't

:54:09. > :54:11.it? A survey from the College of Podiatry found 29% of British

:54:12. > :54:15.children could be wearing shoes that are completely the wrong size. Can

:54:16. > :54:22.you see how your toes are all switched? 56% of parents admitted

:54:23. > :54:25.buying kids' shoes without having their feet measured and 55% of

:54:26. > :54:29.children have suffered damage to their feet because of shoes that are

:54:30. > :54:34.too small or simply unsuitable. Feels comfortable. Yeah, feels

:54:35. > :54:37.comfortable but getting to the edge. Your feet have grown but you haven't

:54:38. > :54:43.noticed. I guess what we're talking about our

:54:44. > :54:51.crimes against kids' feet. Yes, we are. Worst culprits please? Crime

:54:52. > :54:55.one, ill fitting shoes. Get the... Crime two, slip on shoes. If they

:54:56. > :55:01.are wearing slip on shoes it should be temporarily, holidays and high

:55:02. > :55:06.days and everything else should be a fastened on buckled on HSU. Crime

:55:07. > :55:10.three, floppy heels. If it collapses in like a slipper, unsupported, put

:55:11. > :55:15.it back on the shelf. The shops that don't have a fit measurement, where

:55:16. > :55:20.you buy the cheaper ones, is there anything wrong with buying cheaper

:55:21. > :55:25.shoes? Nothing to do with price, all to do with style. Some people go and

:55:26. > :55:29.feel awkward about going into the shops that measure feet and leaving

:55:30. > :55:33.without buying anything. Independent shoe fitters are a wonderful group

:55:34. > :55:36.of professionals and they don't have any problem with you going in and

:55:37. > :55:41.having your feet measured and leaving without having bought a pair

:55:42. > :55:45.of shoes. Because bad shoes cause bad problems, corns, calluses,

:55:46. > :55:50.hammer toes. Am I going to get told off? You are, the recommendation is

:55:51. > :55:56.to go every six months to get your feet measured and that's a really

:55:57. > :56:00.good yardstick. Definitely. Kids' feet grow fast, they don't need a

:56:01. > :56:02.lot of money throwing at them but they do need protecting. Jayne

:56:03. > :56:10.McCubbin, BBC News. Possibly inappropriate footwear!

:56:11. > :56:19.Possibly too big. Sending your thoughts. -- send in your thoughts.

:56:20. > :56:23.I bought trainers for my two girls a few months ago and I bought the ?1

:56:24. > :56:27.insoles, bought them big and then you take them out later. You've got

:11:30. > :11:33.The sighting is the first living record in the area for around 35

:11:34. > :11:36.years, and it's all thanks to The Yorkshire Pine Marten Project,

:11:37. > :11:40.run by NatureSpy and the Forestry Commission who set up various camera

:11:41. > :11:42.traps around the Moors in order to get a glimpse

:11:43. > :11:52.I have been promising some facts. They are not fascinating animals.

:11:53. > :11:55.They are rare so we don't know much. They are territorial. That is why we

:11:56. > :11:58.don't see them that much. They travel a long way to find territory.

:11:59. > :12:04.But you don't see them. Interesting. And now for another story this

:12:05. > :12:06.morning for you. Contaminated eggs imported

:12:07. > :12:08.from the Netherlands have been distributed in the UK,

:12:09. > :12:11.according to the Food Standards They were found to contain

:12:12. > :12:14.the toxic insecticide, Fipronil, which can

:12:15. > :12:15.be harmful to humans. Health officials say only a "very

:12:16. > :12:19.small number" of the affected eggs have reached UK shores and the risk

:12:20. > :12:22.to the public is low. So, how concerned should

:12:23. > :12:24.we be about eating them? Let's speak to Steve Wearne,

:12:25. > :12:34.who's Director of Policy Thank you very much indeed for

:12:35. > :12:45.talking to us. We will talk about this insecticide. What is it used

:12:46. > :12:50.for? It is authorised for use in the EU as an agricultural pesticide. It

:12:51. > :12:58.is also licensed for use as a medicine to treat ticks and fleas on

:12:59. > :13:04.cats and dogs. But it is not authorised for use on food animals

:13:05. > :13:08.like chickens. Why has it been used and what effect does it have? The

:13:09. > :13:15.Belgian and Dutch authorities are still investigating. We understand

:13:16. > :13:18.criminal charges may be pending. What we are talking about is a small

:13:19. > :13:23.number of eggs, other than bags, which sounds like a large number,

:13:24. > :13:27.but remember, in the UK, we eat about 20 billion eggs a year, 1.8

:13:28. > :13:37.billion of which are imported. We just talking about just one egg in

:13:38. > :13:41.every million we will eat this year. They were imported between March and

:13:42. > :13:44.June so the vast majority of them will have already been consumed. We

:13:45. > :13:50.have not identified any products they have been used in that still

:13:51. > :13:54.have time before expiry. Tell us about the potential impact on human

:13:55. > :13:58.health. Why is it not allowed to be used, for example? It is not allowed

:13:59. > :14:04.not because of any particular concerns about toxicity and the

:14:05. > :14:11.extent it has to poison us. There are very few reports of acute

:14:12. > :14:17.effects at low doses We know when there have been poisonings,

:14:18. > :14:25.deliberately drinking insecticide, there has been noisier and seizures.

:14:26. > :14:29.-- nausea. But at the levels found, it is highly unlikely there will be

:14:30. > :14:34.any impacts. Some of them have been sold in the UK. From your point of

:14:35. > :14:39.view, even if you had one of them, you should be fine. That is right.

:14:40. > :14:45.We don't think there is any reason people should avoid bags or change

:14:46. > :14:51.the way they cook or consume them. -- eggs. The vast majority of them

:14:52. > :14:58.have been eaten already. Any still on the market will be taken off

:14:59. > :15:02.sale. And you will go back down the food chain as it were, will you, and

:15:03. > :15:06.follow what is happening with the investigation?

:15:07. > :15:13.We are doing that now as a matter of emergency. We learned on Saturday

:15:14. > :15:18.that of eggs have in imported, some have gone into retail and have in

:15:19. > :15:23.consumed. Some would have gone into catering and been incorporated into

:15:24. > :15:27.products such as sandwiches. We are checking through to make sure we

:15:28. > :15:33.know where every last one of them has gone to. In the UK, we are very

:15:34. > :15:41.sensitive to food safety. Do you test them all the time? There is a

:15:42. > :15:52.robust programme of testing. We have a number of substances that we will

:15:53. > :15:53.be testing for. Thank you very much for your time this morning.

:16:42. > :16:47.today is full sunshine, showers and some rain. In London, grey skies.

:16:48. > :16:51.Some sunshine before the rain, but when the rain hits, the chance of

:16:52. > :16:56.some heavy downpours. Some of those could eat Sunbury. In east Anglia

:16:57. > :17:01.and the south-east, a lot of rain in a short amount of time. This

:17:02. > :17:07.morning, showers in the forecast. Some bright skies, some of us

:17:08. > :17:12.starting with some sunshine. You can see the cloud of rain rotating

:17:13. > :17:20.around an area of low pressure. Where we have got grey skies and it

:17:21. > :17:26.is dry, we could see some sunshine. Showers developing. In Scotland,

:17:27. > :17:30.some showers, some heavy and Bunbury. The same for Northwest

:17:31. > :17:35.England. In north-east England, across the Pennines and south

:17:36. > :17:39.through the Midlands into the home Counties, East Anglia and the

:17:40. > :17:43.south-east, down to Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, we are looking at

:17:44. > :17:48.rain, some of which will be heavy, especially in east Anglia and the

:17:49. > :17:52.south-east. We could have some surface water issues. Drifting

:17:53. > :17:57.further south towards Wales, looking at a mix of sunshine and showers.

:17:58. > :18:01.Some heavy and Sunbury. Especially across Wales. In Northern Ireland,

:18:02. > :18:07.sunshine and showers. Here, showers not as heavy and frequent. As we

:18:08. > :18:14.head through the evening and overnight, you can see we have the

:18:15. > :18:17.rain moving slightly north across England, through parts of the

:18:18. > :18:23.Midlands, east Wales, Gloucestershire and Somerset. A fair

:18:24. > :18:29.bit of cloud, chilli in rural areas. In towns and cities, temperatures

:18:30. > :18:35.10- 13. Starting with an arc of rain tomorrow through the day. Gliding

:18:36. > :18:39.down into the south-east. Once again tomorrow in east Anglia in

:18:40. > :18:44.south-east England, in for some torrential downpours. That could

:18:45. > :18:49.lead to some surface water issues. Away from this, some brighter skies

:18:50. > :18:53.with some sunshine. Thursday, the dregs of the rain in the

:18:54. > :19:00.south-eastern corner. Through the day, starting to drift away onto the

:19:01. > :19:04.near continent, leaving a largely dry day with some bright spells and

:19:05. > :19:08.sunshine. Look at what is lurking in the wings off the coast of

:19:09. > :19:13.north-west Scotland. More rain. That will also be coming our way.

:19:14. > :19:16.Unsettled, changeable and went with some sunshine probably sums it up

:19:17. > :19:34.quite nicely. Carrier bags, hotels

:19:35. > :19:36.and holidays, Steph is here Good morning, Tesco is scrapping 5p

:19:37. > :19:40.carrier bags, which means anyone wanting a bag their shopping

:19:41. > :19:44.will either have to bring their own Tesco says it's to cut down

:19:45. > :19:50.on plastic bag usage. A lot of you have been

:19:51. > :20:00.in touch about this. John said, well done, this is a good

:20:01. > :20:05.idea. People need to get better organised. Nicola works in one of

:20:06. > :20:09.the supermarkets and she said it is hard to check that everyone pays for

:20:10. > :20:14.their bags. She said that the majority do, and she does think it

:20:15. > :20:20.is a good idea to get rid of them. Aaron says that it is good to stop

:20:21. > :20:29.damaging the environment by plastic. David says, to Tesco keep a

:20:30. > :20:38.percentage of the bags? A lot of them give the money they make to a

:20:39. > :20:39.good cause, but not all of them -- do.

:20:40. > :20:43.The owner of the hotel chains like Holiday Inn,

:20:44. > :20:45.Crowne Plaza and Indigo has announced a rise

:20:46. > :20:50.The hotel group has three quarters of a million rooms around the world

:20:51. > :20:52.and serves over 150 million guests each year.

:20:53. > :20:56.It has said they are focusing more on the boutique side of the

:20:57. > :21:01.business. And we are taking more foreign

:21:02. > :21:04.holidays than ever before - we did 45 million of them last year

:21:05. > :21:08.- that's up 70% compared But one of the biggest chages

:21:09. > :21:22.is that we're doing more shorter I will be looking more at how our

:21:23. > :21:26.habits have changed in about half an hour. A lot of people used to take a

:21:27. > :21:32.two-week trip in summer, there seems to be a change? Yes, there is. A lot

:21:33. > :21:36.to do with the cheaper airlines and the fact that we can get away more

:21:37. > :21:40.easily. People like to split up their holidays so that you are just

:21:41. > :21:51.waiting for that one holiday. When you finally get to it, you are tired

:21:52. > :22:01.and you might get six. I think it is better, you can properly relax.

:22:02. > :22:10.Otherwise you never have a break! Regarding carrier bags, Andy says

:22:11. > :22:15.10p won't make a difference, and we have a reader in the Netherlands who

:22:16. > :22:20.has said that you can't purchase any of these bags in the Netherlands,

:22:21. > :22:25.and people always bring their own. You rarely forget to take a bag,

:22:26. > :22:29.just keep one in the car is what she said. --A listener.

:22:30. > :22:34.Teenagers across Scotland will be waking to their Highers results this

:22:35. > :22:36.morning - the Scottish equivalent of A-levels.

:22:37. > :22:39.The country has traditionally had a strong education system,

:22:40. > :22:41.but in recent years standards have declined.

:22:42. > :22:43.As the Scottish Government admits things need to improve,

:22:44. > :22:47.John Maguire has been to find out what's being done.

:22:48. > :22:49.Tonight these youngsters are practising their stop

:22:50. > :22:55.Who knows, a future Morph or Wallace and Gromit might be created right

:22:56. > :23:06.here in Cambuslang on the outskirts of Glasgow.

:23:07. > :23:09.This youth Club, one of nine centres called Universal Connections,

:23:10. > :23:11.are funded by South Lanarkshire Council's education budget.

:23:12. > :23:13.Qualifications can be gained here that aren't offered

:23:14. > :23:19.For example, there's a Duke of Edinburgh Awards group

:23:20. > :23:21.and Rebecca has been training for her gold award expedition.

:23:22. > :23:24.This morning she is receiving the results of her Highers

:23:25. > :23:28.and she believes the school has prepared her well for the future.

:23:29. > :23:32.Teachers are there to help you get the grades you need so if you know

:23:33. > :23:36.what you want to do and what you need and you just have

:23:37. > :23:46.At the same time, some subjects, like PSE, they can get you ready

:23:47. > :23:51.Her mum, Cheryl, is a member of the National Parent Forum and has

:23:52. > :23:53.a keen interest in Scottish education.

:23:54. > :23:55.She says children can succeed if they're supported.

:23:56. > :23:58.I appreciate education is going through so many changes,

:23:59. > :24:01.but it's now about narrowing it and trying to work with the parents

:24:02. > :24:04.of the schools and local authorities and government to bring everyone

:24:05. > :24:15.But recent years have seen standards decline.

:24:16. > :24:20.I think the introduction of Curriculum for Excellence,

:24:21. > :24:22.which is effectively Scotland's national curriculum,

:24:23. > :24:26.which has been going on for some 13 years now, has been badly organised

:24:27. > :24:28.and has led to a number of serious adverse consequences,

:24:29. > :24:32.not least of them being excessive teacher workload and loss of morale

:24:33. > :24:40.The Deputy First Minister John Swinney is in charge of education.

:24:41. > :24:43.Today he's visiting a community enterprise in Kilmarnock that works

:24:44. > :24:45.with everyone from the elderly to ex-prisoners to children

:24:46. > :24:53.He accepts improvements need to be made, wants students from poorer

:24:54. > :24:55.backgrounds to achieve better results and believes schools

:24:56. > :25:05.and teachers are the best people to affect change.

:25:06. > :25:08.It's at the heart of the reforms I want to take into the curriculum,

:25:09. > :25:12.to make sure a generation of young people today can have access

:25:13. > :25:15.to the best quality of education and the best opportunities that

:25:16. > :25:24.We want to make sure we do that in consort with the education

:25:25. > :25:28.profession to make sure that is able to be deployed in every single

:25:29. > :25:30.school, the length and bredth Scotland.

:25:31. > :25:32.And the main teaching union wants more support for staff.

:25:33. > :25:36.I think if we could remove the bureaucracy so that teachers can

:25:37. > :25:38.spend their time working on the improvement of the learning

:25:39. > :25:41.of young people then that will make a difference.

:25:42. > :25:43.But we need more than just promises in these areas,

:25:44. > :25:46.we actually need action from government and educational agencies.

:25:47. > :25:49.Back at the youth club in Cambuslang, the band is in full

:25:50. > :25:52.swing and full volume as teenagers across Scotland tear open envelopes

:25:53. > :25:55.or are informed via text, anxious to discover how they've done.

:25:56. > :25:58.This morning's results aren't just important to them but also

:25:59. > :26:00.to the government and to the country.

:26:01. > :26:17.I think every report should end like that. We hope to speak to one of

:26:18. > :26:18.those students later. Still to come this morning,

:26:19. > :26:22.do you remember being taken to buy your first

:26:23. > :26:24.pair of school shoes? Well it seems, these days,

:26:25. > :26:27.more than half of parents don't get their children

:26:28. > :26:29.properly measured. In the next half-hour,

:26:30. > :26:32.we'll find out why that could mean Time now to get the news,

:35:52. > :35:52.tonight. Better news for team

:35:53. > :35:54.captain Eilidh Doyle, was one of two British women

:35:55. > :35:57.who made it into the semi-finals There was a great performance

:35:58. > :36:18.by Britain's Danny Talbot He qualified for the semi-finals,

:36:19. > :36:25.with a lifetime best of 20.16 seconds, finishing just behind

:36:26. > :36:27.the reigning olympic champion We were expecting to see the fastest

:36:28. > :36:32.man in the world over 200 metres, Botswana's Isaac Makwala,

:36:33. > :36:34.run last night. But he was absent from his heat

:36:35. > :36:38.and it later emerged he was one of a number of athletes suffering

:36:39. > :36:40.from gastroenteritis at one And now a round-up of the rest

:36:41. > :36:44.of the day's sport. Moeen Ali was England's hero once

:36:45. > :36:48.again, as he and his teammates secured a 3-1 series

:36:49. > :36:50.win over South Africa. Ali took 25 wickets over

:36:51. > :36:53.the course of the series. He helped England claim a 177-run

:36:54. > :36:56.victory in the fourth test, and also ensured that the team

:36:57. > :36:59.climbs to third in the International Cricket Council's Test

:37:00. > :37:00.rankings, above Australia. It's a first home Test series win

:37:01. > :37:04.against South Africa since 1998. And a first for Joe Root

:37:05. > :37:06.as England captain. It is great to see Moeen Ali

:37:07. > :37:10.in particular step up and put in some unbelievable performances

:37:11. > :37:12.to win games for us. Hopefully that can be something

:37:13. > :37:15.that is repeated on a number But I think throughout the whole

:37:16. > :37:19.series the squad has Could Gareth Bale be heading back

:37:20. > :37:32.to the Premier League? Manchester United manager

:37:33. > :37:34.Jose Mourinho says he will "fight with other coaches" to sign

:37:35. > :37:37.the 28-year-old Welshman. The two clubs play each other

:37:38. > :37:40.tonight in the Uefa Super Cup in Bale joined the Spanish champions

:37:41. > :37:43.from Tottenham in 2013, for a then-world record fee of ?85

:37:44. > :37:46.million, and has since won Mourinho says he'll be waiting

:37:47. > :38:14.for Bale if he doesn't figure You might have noticed I am in the

:38:15. > :38:21.BBC TV sports studio. This is where the likes of Gabby Logan and Michael

:38:22. > :38:39.Johnson, the legend, and Paula Radcliffe six. -- sit. I want to

:38:40. > :38:44.introduce you in this seat, Logan. Next door is the Japanese

:38:45. > :38:50.broadcasters. Lots of branding in the studio. Even a Union Jack flag.

:38:51. > :38:54.This is a special touchscreen which you have seen if you are watching

:38:55. > :39:01.the coverage. It is very expensive. I am not going to touch it. I just

:39:02. > :39:06.thought I would give you a behind-the-scenes. You don't see

:39:07. > :39:12.this much. What a night of drama it was in that 1500 metre final. A

:39:13. > :39:17.brave run by Laura Muir. A tough field. The Olympic champion was

:39:18. > :39:23.there. You spoke to her after the race. Did she take any positives?

:39:24. > :39:26.The fact she left everything on that track. You come to the World

:39:27. > :39:32.Championships and you have to give your best. Every time she races, she

:39:33. > :39:39.leaves everything, blood, sweat, and he is, everything, on that field. So

:39:40. > :39:46.close. -- tears. Everyone was cheering for her to get that medal.

:39:47. > :39:50.It is tough, very tough, a fine margin. And tough for Sophie Hitchon

:39:51. > :39:58.in the hammer final. She was fighting back tears in her

:39:59. > :40:03.interview. Where does she go from here now that she finished so far

:40:04. > :40:07.down in the field? She was Olympic bronze medallist last year. She

:40:08. > :40:12.expected to at least equal that. She was winning at one stage in the

:40:13. > :40:15.first round. The crowd loved it. I thought, come on, the crowd wants

:40:16. > :40:19.it. You don't just turn up and compete, you train all year.

:40:20. > :40:26.Everything has to be completely right on the night. If you don't get

:40:27. > :40:30.a medal, you are heartbroken. But next issue will come back bigger and

:40:31. > :40:34.better and stronger. You have heard about the gastroenteritis that has

:40:35. > :40:40.got around. Some athletes have been affected. As a former athlete

:40:41. > :40:43.yourself, when you are dealing with diarrhoea and vomiting, how does

:40:44. > :40:47.that affect you? It affects everything, not just physically but

:40:48. > :40:52.psychologically as well. The human body, everything has to be perfect

:40:53. > :40:58.when you come to a championships. You have to get back on board and

:40:59. > :41:03.keep everything down. But psychologically, you go to the next

:41:04. > :41:06.race and you know you are not 100% perfect. You don't know the effect

:41:07. > :41:12.it will have on the performance. The last thing you want to have is a

:41:13. > :41:16.tiny chink in your armour. You have to be 100 ready to compete. Not only

:41:17. > :41:21.will they have felt weak and drained, mentally, they will feel

:41:22. > :41:27.bad as well. Such a special night on the track tonight for the 400 metre

:41:28. > :41:34.men's final. Wayde. What a special talent. You must be feeling good to

:41:35. > :41:41.see him. Normally this is all I see of Michael Johnson. The back of him.

:41:42. > :41:46.He is a supremely great athlete. He has done so much to get through. He

:41:47. > :41:50.has not left third gear. He is saving energy for the 200. He will

:41:51. > :41:56.do something good tonight. He won't smash the record. He has a 200. He

:41:57. > :42:03.has the talent to do it. Thank you. A pleasure to have you on BBC

:42:04. > :42:06.Breakfast. If you want to join everyone on the sofa, the coverage

:42:07. > :42:18.gets under way on BBC Two from 730 tonight. I love them. Thank you. And

:42:19. > :42:23.we will speak to Steve Batley, four-time European champion. He

:42:24. > :42:31.never got a gold. He is part of the commentary team. Also, we are

:42:32. > :42:39.keeping up-to-date with the weather. So much is going on. Good morning.

:42:40. > :42:45.Yes. Good morning. I am in London. The sky is grey. A bright start. We

:42:46. > :42:51.could see sunshine. Later, torrential showers. Excuse me. The

:42:52. > :42:55.pollen levels are up. For some of us, we are looking at sunshine.

:42:56. > :43:01.Especially in the north and west. Heavy downpours. Possibly thundery.

:43:02. > :43:05.The highest chance of that combination in the south-east and

:43:06. > :43:10.East Anglia, especially later on. This morning, we have sunshine.

:43:11. > :43:16.Bright spells. Showers. In the north and west of the UK, that is. Some

:43:17. > :43:20.rain as well rotating around an area of low pressure. Some of that will

:43:21. > :43:23.be heavy as we go through the morning. Behind that, carrying on

:43:24. > :43:27.with sunshine and showers in Scotland in the north-west England.

:43:28. > :43:33.Some thundery. North-east England this afternoon, rain. That extends

:43:34. > :43:37.across the Pennines, the Midlands, East Anglia, the south-east,

:43:38. > :43:41.Hampshire, the Home Counties, down towards the Isle of Wight as well.

:43:42. > :43:47.Cool temperatures. The other thing you will find us we could see large

:43:48. > :43:52.rainfall totals in East Anglia and the south-east in a small amount of

:43:53. > :43:56.time. Towards the south-west, a mixture of bright spells, sunshine,

:43:57. > :44:00.showers. Wales, more frequent showers. Some will be heavy and

:44:01. > :44:04.thundery. In between them, brightness. Northern Ireland,

:44:05. > :44:09.sunshine and showers as well. They will be not as heavy and less

:44:10. > :44:12.frequent. Through the evening and overnight we still have that rain.

:44:13. > :44:17.If anything, it goes north. Extending from north-east England

:44:18. > :44:22.through the Midlands to east Wales down towards Dorset and Somerset.

:44:23. > :44:28.Temperature-wise, we are looking at overnight lows and 13. In rural

:44:29. > :44:32.areas, especially in the north, it will be a chilly north. Tomorrow,

:44:33. > :44:37.that rain once again starting off. Through the day it will be dragged

:44:38. > :44:40.by the low pressure in the direction of the south-east as temperatures

:44:41. > :44:44.rise. Further showers will develop. Some will be thundery and

:44:45. > :44:48.slow-moving. Especially, once again, in East Anglia and the south-east.

:44:49. > :44:53.We could be looking at issues with surface water flooding. Away from

:44:54. > :44:56.that, for the rest of the UK, more dry and more bright with fewer

:44:57. > :45:01.showers and sunshine. By Thursday, the rest of that rain in the

:45:02. > :45:06.south-east. That will clear away leaving us with a dry day once again

:45:07. > :45:12.with sunny spells. But you can see what is waiting in the sides of

:45:13. > :45:16.Scotland. More rain coming our way. Fairly unsettled for the next few

:45:17. > :45:25.days. Thank you very much. It's no secret, us Brits have a long

:45:26. > :45:29.history of seeking out the sun - and we're going on more foreign

:45:30. > :45:32.holidays than ever before. But new figures suggest it's

:45:33. > :45:35.increasingly a case of bye-bye Steph's been looking

:45:36. > :45:41.into our changing holidaying I've been off for the last few

:45:42. > :46:01.weeks, what has happened to this chair? We are waving goodbye to the

:46:02. > :46:15.booze cruise? Yes, let's have a look at the research. The good news is,

:46:16. > :46:23.we are taking more foreign holidays. 45 million last year, up nearly 70%

:46:24. > :46:29.from 1996. The biggest changes that we am not going to wait for one long

:46:30. > :46:34.break as often, instead, we are opting for a week-long break or a

:46:35. > :46:41.long weekend. Statisticians say this is probably because of the rise of

:46:42. > :46:50.the low-cost carriers. Passengers have risen by 85% at UK airports.

:46:51. > :46:53.Something a lot of people have been noticing with all the long

:46:54. > :47:01.With me is Emma Coulthurst, is from Travelsupermarket.com

:47:02. > :47:16.It is amazing how holidays have changed. I used to go on a two-week

:47:17. > :47:21.holiday, you would go off on the to France, you would probably just take

:47:22. > :47:25.one holiday per year. Now, we are buying for one-week holidays, but

:47:26. > :47:30.trying to have more. Shorter holidays, but more frequently. A

:47:31. > :47:35.city break never really existed 20 years ago, but now we are going to

:47:36. > :47:41.places in Eastern Europe. As low as ?69 this September, three star

:47:42. > :47:49.accommodation and your flight, it is difficult to get a hotel in the UK

:47:50. > :47:52.for ?69 for one night. So we are really expanding our holidays,

:47:53. > :47:56.trying to spread them across the year. I think there are a lot of

:47:57. > :48:07.reasons for this. If we look at the advent of low-cost airlines, it has

:48:08. > :48:20.really opened up the sky above our heads. We have got easyJet, RyanAir

:48:21. > :48:32.and many others. So it is easy to get a low-cost flight. Holidays are

:48:33. > :48:37.our prized possessions. A lot of countries can just stay at home, but

:48:38. > :48:42.we need the sun. We've got to get on the plane and experience that lovely

:48:43. > :48:49.Mediterranean vibe. They are asking us for our cost. The prices this

:48:50. > :48:53.summer, 70 quid, 80 quid for a week. The holidays are actually cheaper

:48:54. > :48:59.than they were 20 years ago. The interesting thing about this is how

:49:00. > :49:05.much we used to like our cruises. There has been a quadrupling in

:49:06. > :49:12.people going on cruises? Yes, it has expanded about fourfold. The booze

:49:13. > :49:18.cruise, it has vanished. It is not cost efficient to bother doing it.

:49:19. > :49:24.Cruising is very popular, not just with older people. I also think when

:49:25. > :49:28.you look at this information, it is good to look at the countries people

:49:29. > :49:34.are going to and how that changes. Unsurprisingly, you've got places

:49:35. > :49:41.like Egypt and Tunisia which have fallen out of popularity. Poland,

:49:42. > :49:50.Croatia err... The whole of Eastern Europe has opened up in the last 20

:49:51. > :49:55.years -- Croatia... You can get breaks to these places for under

:49:56. > :50:01.?100 each. Poland has entered the European Union in 2004. Now you can

:50:02. > :50:09.have breaks their in some beautiful places, Warsaw, Krakow. There are so

:50:10. > :50:14.many new destinations. The best thing about going abroad is how

:50:15. > :50:18.expensive the UK is. When you go abroad, the cost of living is nearly

:50:19. > :50:22.half that of Eastern Europe. Eating out is really cheap and so our

:50:23. > :50:31.drinks. Despite the fact that the pound is not great in the markets.

:50:32. > :50:35.Yes, it has been volatile, but you can balance that out with the cost

:50:36. > :50:41.of living abroad if you pick the right destination to go to. The cost

:50:42. > :50:47.of living increase is 60% than the UK, 40% less in Turkey. Croatia has

:50:48. > :50:54.opened up, the Balkan war ended in 1995. Croatia, Dubrovnik is a very

:50:55. > :51:02.popular destination. And don't forget Iceland. Since 1998 and the

:51:03. > :51:07.enormous crash to their dollar, you can go to Iceland for about half the

:51:08. > :51:20.price it used to be. I think the news Le Sommer also had something to

:51:21. > :51:24.do with it. We found that breaks in Iceland were incredibly popular. I

:51:25. > :51:31.wish we could go on, this is making me very jealous! Very interesting.

:51:32. > :51:38.Warsaw is a very nice place to go for the weekend, by the way. When he

:51:39. > :51:39.asked me this earlier, I was not sure.

:51:40. > :51:42.When was the last time you had your children's feet measured?

:51:43. > :51:45.Well - according to the College of Podiatry -

:51:46. > :51:48.more than half of kids in the UK have suffered foot damage

:51:49. > :51:50.because of ill fitting or unsuitable shoes.

:51:51. > :51:54.So if you're preparing to buy new shoes your little ones before

:51:55. > :51:56.they go back to school, you might want to watch

:51:57. > :52:03.Breakfast's Jayne McCubbin has been to meet one family and get advice

:52:04. > :52:05.that could help avoid big problems for little feet.

:52:06. > :52:06.Ready? Ready.

:52:07. > :52:07.Steady? Yeah.

:52:08. > :52:11.Steady. Go!

:52:12. > :52:15.We are with the Kelly family in Whitby and we are on the hunt for...

:52:16. > :52:20.Expensive? Definitely.

:52:21. > :52:24.Feet grow into all the age of 21 and with three children and two

:52:25. > :52:26.stepchildren, Amy has a lot of shoes to buy.

:52:27. > :52:39.Chase's do especially, he's got like a super massive big

:52:40. > :52:44.When was the last time you had your kids' feet measured?

:52:45. > :52:48.I'm going to have to be honest, I don't know if I've ever had any

:52:49. > :52:56.So this is it, this is the lot? This is it.

:52:57. > :52:59.Let me ask you, these all fit? I hope so.

:53:00. > :53:07.Because today we are bringing in the big guns to check out

:53:08. > :53:18.I hope you're not going to tell me off!

:53:19. > :53:27.Emma Supple is from the College of Podiatry.

:53:28. > :53:30.These pass for me because they've got a nice good

:53:31. > :53:48.A survey from the College of Podiatry found 29% of British

:53:49. > :53:51.children could be wearing shoes that are completely the wrong size.

:53:52. > :53:54.Can you see how your toes are all squinched?

:53:55. > :53:56.56% of parents admitted buying kids' shoes without having

:53:57. > :54:02.55% of children have suffered damage to their feet because of shoes

:54:03. > :54:04.which are too small or simply unsuitable.

:54:05. > :54:07.Yeah, feels comfortable but it's getting to the edge,

:54:08. > :54:10.Your feet have grown but you haven't noticed.

:54:11. > :54:13.I guess what we're talking about our crimes against kids' feet.

:54:14. > :54:19.Get the child's shoes fitted and at least keep the information

:54:20. > :54:24.If they're wearing slip-on shoes it should be temporarily,

:54:25. > :54:26.holidays and high days and everything else should be

:54:27. > :54:38.If the heel collapses in like a slipper, very unsupported

:54:39. > :54:41.at the heel, put it back on the shelf.

:54:42. > :54:44.The shops that don't have a feet measurements in where you buy

:54:45. > :54:46.the cheaper shoes, is there anything wrong with looking

:54:47. > :54:50.Nothing to do with price, it's all to do with style.

:54:51. > :54:53.Some people feel awkward about going into the shops that

:54:54. > :54:55.measure feet and then leaving without buying anything.

:54:56. > :54:57.Independent shoe fitters are a wonderful group

:54:58. > :55:00.of professionals and they don't have any problem with you going

:55:01. > :55:03.in and having your feet measured and leaving without having bought

:55:04. > :55:09.Because bad shoes cause bad problems, corns,

:55:10. > :55:17.The recommendation is to go every six months to get your feet measured

:55:18. > :55:27.Kids' feet grow fast, they don't need a lot of money

:55:28. > :55:29.throwing at them but they do need protecting.

:55:30. > :55:43.I like a Golden slipper. And we've got some comments about this story.

:55:44. > :55:48.Someone has Britain in who used to work for a shoe department. Their

:55:49. > :55:54.tip is to shake talcum powder into the shoe, empty out the access and

:55:55. > :55:58.ask your child to walk in them. Take off the shoe, and then a footprint

:55:59. > :56:03.will appear so you can see where their toes go to. They say that

:56:04. > :56:12.there should be one centimetre between the end of that of and the

:56:13. > :56:22.end of the shoe. It can be quite hard to look into the shoe! Salang

:56:23. > :56:28.has said that nobody measures their children's beat any more. She works

:56:29. > :56:33.in a school, and she has said that often children have shoes that I'll

:56:34. > :56:43.much too big or small, but parents don't listen -- Shalane. My children

:56:44. > :56:48.love a slip on. Shalane has said there should be a law against ill

:56:49. > :56:51.fitting shoes. Possibly a little bit too far, but interesting.

:03:12. > :03:17.The Royal College of Midwives says there's a shortfall of around 3,500.

:03:18. > :03:20.Now, based on a Freedom of Information request,

:03:21. > :03:24.Labour says a growing number of maternity units are closing

:03:25. > :03:31.In England, 136 NHS Trusts offer maternity services.

:03:32. > :03:35.Last year, 42 of them closed their doors to

:03:36. > :03:41.There were 382 separate locations where units were closed,

:03:42. > :03:47.I think it is quite right hospitals take these drastic decisions

:03:48. > :03:50.when they want to put the interests of the patient's safety first.

:03:51. > :03:56.But the fact it is happening so often and is increasing year

:03:57. > :03:58.on year significantly suggests an underlying problem.

:03:59. > :04:02.You cannot keep trying to run the NHS on a shoestring,

:04:03. > :04:06.putting them through the biggest financial squeeze in its

:04:07. > :04:10.history, and not expect standards of care to slip.

:04:11. > :04:14.Some closures were relatively short-lived but others

:04:15. > :04:20.A Department of Health spokesperson said that Trusts need to use

:04:21. > :04:23.temporary closures to manage peaks in admissions and it was misleading

:04:24. > :04:26.to use these figures to indicate a shortage of staff

:04:27. > :04:30.because of the difficulties around planning for birth.

:04:31. > :04:33.The Royal College of Midwives agreed it was sometimes

:04:34. > :04:36.right to close a unit, but that doing so on a regular basis

:04:37. > :04:41.showed underlying problems with the number of expert staff.

:05:02. > :05:05.Eloise Dixon together with her partner and three young

:05:06. > :05:08.children made one mistake which nearly cost them their lives.

:05:09. > :05:11.It all happened in Angra dos Reis, about 90 miles south of Rio de

:05:12. > :05:15.Janeiro, a part of Brazil that's popular with tourists and has some

:05:16. > :05:19.of the most beautiful beaches in the country.

:05:20. > :05:22.The family had rented a car, and according to local media,

:05:23. > :05:26.were looking for a place to buy water when they made a wrong turning

:05:27. > :05:30.into a favela, or slum, controlled by drug traffickers.

:05:35. > :05:41.Eloise Dixon, in the front passenger seat, was shot twice,

:05:42. > :05:47.Taken to a local hospital, she underwent two hours of surgery.

:05:48. > :05:50.This could so easily have been fatal, but she survived.

:05:51. > :05:54.TRANSLATION: The bullet passed through the abdomen and fortunately

:05:55. > :05:57.did not hit the big blood vessels or the important organs.

:05:58. > :06:06.Some can be so dangerous that even police are not welcome.

:06:07. > :06:09.TRANSLATION: We have a community that we cannot enter,

:06:43. > :06:46.The lawyer representing Chloe Ayling,

:06:47. > :06:49.who's 20 and from South London, says she was told by her kidnappers

:06:50. > :06:52.that she would be sold as a slave in the Middle East.

:06:53. > :06:55.He explained that she was acting under duress, when she was seen

:06:56. > :07:09.shopping with her captor before she was freed.

:07:10. > :07:12.She was told that people were there watching her and ready

:07:13. > :07:15.to kill her if she tried anything, so she thought that the best

:07:16. > :07:18.idea was to go along with it and to be nice,

:07:19. > :07:23.Because he told her that he wanted to release her.

:08:37. > :08:41.There were also high hopes for hammer thrower, Sophie Hitchon,

:08:47. > :08:49.COMMENTATOR: Scotland's very own Laura Muir

:08:50. > :08:53.It was not the day British fans had hoped for.

:08:54. > :08:59.The odds and a talented field were stacked against her.

:09:00. > :09:02.Britain had never had a woman in the 1500 metres.

:09:03. > :09:05.The tactic, they wanted to go out hard.

:09:06. > :09:07.With a look of determination etched across her face,

:09:08. > :09:13.But from nowhere, 800 metre, specialist, Katya Semenya,

:09:14. > :09:16.found speed to snatch the way at the death.

:09:17. > :09:19.Seven hundredths of a second separated Muir from her

:09:20. > :09:35.I guess considering the disruptions I had this year, I gave it all

:09:36. > :09:39.There was more heartbreak in the hammer cage.

:09:40. > :09:43.Sophie Hitchon's jubilation was one of the highlights of the Games.

:09:44. > :09:53.These images are becoming all too familiar at these championships.

:09:54. > :09:55.There was at least some British success to cheer.

:09:56. > :10:01.Daniel Talbot track the favourite all the way in the first

:10:02. > :10:06.round of the 100m to make it to the semi-final.

:10:44. > :10:50.This is the scene at the London Stadium this morning -

:10:51. > :10:52.we'll have more on all the action there yesterday and today

:10:53. > :11:09.Carol will also have the weather. We'll speak to her and Steve

:11:10. > :11:12.Backley. After a four year stakeout

:11:13. > :11:15.by wildlife experts, footage of one of England's rarest

:11:16. > :11:18.animals, the Pine Mareten, has finally been captured

:11:19. > :11:21.in the North York Moors. After a four year stakeout

:11:22. > :11:26.by wildlife experts, has finally been captured

:11:27. > :11:31.in the North York Moors. The sighting is the first

:11:32. > :11:35.in the area for more than 30 years. The Yorkshire Pine Marten Project

:11:36. > :11:38.managed to capture the footage after setting up camera traps around

:11:39. > :11:41.the Moors. After a four year stakeout by wildlife experts,

:11:42. > :11:43.footage of one of England's rarest animals, the Pine Mareten,

:11:44. > :11:57.has finally been captured Did you know there was a sighting

:11:58. > :12:00.earlier on in July in Shropshire and it was thought they died out over a

:12:01. > :12:05.century ago but they've been migrating. They're just hiding so

:12:06. > :12:08.people can't stare at them. There you go. I guarantee you will never

:12:09. > :12:16.repeat that fact. More than 40% of maternity wards

:12:17. > :12:22.in England closed their doors to expectant mothers at least

:12:23. > :12:24.once in 2016. That's according to data

:12:25. > :12:27.from the Labour party, which blames staffing shortages

:12:28. > :12:29.for the closures. Though the government says

:12:30. > :12:31.the numbers are misleading. Jacque Gerrard from the Royal

:12:32. > :12:42.College of Midwives joins us now. Your reaction first of all to the

:12:43. > :12:45.figures. Is this a surprise to you? It's absolutely not a surprise, it's

:12:46. > :12:50.something the Royal College of Midwives are hearing on a daily

:12:51. > :12:56.basis from those that work in the system. They're telling us the

:12:57. > :13:02.pressures that they're up against and they're working against on a

:13:03. > :13:08.daily basis, things like staffing levels with 3500 short. We have an

:13:09. > :13:11.increase in the birth rate, 2005-2016, 50,000 more births in

:13:12. > :13:15.England for example, so we have got a real worry there in terms of

:13:16. > :13:21.trying to meet the demands of the service with enough midwives and

:13:22. > :13:26.staff. Can you talk about the practicalities of it. It says half

:13:27. > :13:30.of England's maternity units almost closing to new mothers at some

:13:31. > :13:33.point. What does that mean in a practical level, because presumably

:13:34. > :13:38.people can turn up at any time of day or night? Yes. I think that is

:13:39. > :13:43.the nature of the issue. We know roughly how many mums are booked and

:13:44. > :13:47.given maternity units for a given of time. We don't know when they're

:13:48. > :13:51.going to go into labour. Sometimes the pressure is that a whole lot of

:13:52. > :13:56.women go into labour at one time. If you couple that with not enough

:13:57. > :14:02.midwives, for example if there are a lot off or if there are vacancies,

:14:03. > :14:06.illnesses, actually on the grounds of safety, the maternity manager or

:14:07. > :14:11.the head has to make a decision, it's not safe for women to come in.

:14:12. > :14:17.That can last for maybe 24 hours or a few days or could run into weeks

:14:18. > :14:21.and centres, small birth centres for example, sometimes may have to close

:14:22. > :14:25.for six or more weeks. It depends on the situation where you are in the

:14:26. > :14:28.country. I'm sure you know that expectant mothers will be watching

:14:29. > :14:32.and may be concerned because there is that strict birthing plan where

:14:33. > :14:38.you plan where you are going to go, you know the route, you have a snack

:14:39. > :14:43.bag with you and that nightmare scenario is you turn up and you are

:14:44. > :14:48.told, sorry we have no room here. Let me reassure women that that will

:14:49. > :14:52.not happen. This is planned. When services close the doors, they plan

:14:53. > :14:56.it. There is an escalation policy in place. The heads of midwifery in

:14:57. > :15:00.each region have an escalation plan. So as soon as things start to look a

:15:01. > :15:05.little tricky, they're on the phone to each other to say how many beds

:15:06. > :15:10.have you got, we are approaching crisis, can you help us out et

:15:11. > :15:17.cetera. A plan will be put in place, midwives will be told to tell women

:15:18. > :15:23.in the community, no women will turn up and will be turned away. If a

:15:24. > :15:27.woman turned up, she'd be assessed and cared for then a decision to

:15:28. > :15:31.transfer out would be made then so please don't worry about it, we will

:15:32. > :15:35.look after you but we have to plan and we have to be really careful and

:15:36. > :15:39.make sure that we are providing high quality safe care, safety is most

:15:40. > :15:42.important. It may be that you won't be having the baby in the hospital

:15:43. > :15:45.that you planned to have it though? That is correct. So therefore you

:15:46. > :15:50.have got a big disappointment and you have to manage that situation so

:15:51. > :15:54.you need to support the women and look and see where we can deliver

:15:55. > :15:57.their baby. You will be aware, we have asked the Department of Health

:15:58. > :16:00.for a response, they say we want the NHS to be one of the safest places

:16:01. > :16:03.in the world to have a baby and patients should be reassured we

:16:04. > :16:08.continue to have enough midwives in the NHS. They go on to say, to use

:16:09. > :16:11.the figures as an indication of safe staffing issues particularly when a

:16:12. > :16:14.number could have been for a matter of hours is misleading because

:16:15. > :16:18.maternity services are unable to plan the exact time and place for

:16:19. > :16:21.all of the women in their care. They are saying this is in some ways

:16:22. > :16:32.having to be the way it is? 9/11 Well, we would disagree with

:16:33. > :16:37.that because we know that we are 3500 midwives short. 2500 midwives

:16:38. > :16:40.don't come into the system because it takes three years to train a

:16:41. > :16:47.midwife, when we have looked closely at the figures and the data we're

:16:48. > :16:51.year-on-year basis only putting into the system 104 more midwives so

:16:52. > :16:55.that's not going to help the situation. We need to look at this

:16:56. > :16:58.closely and look closely at the maternity services that are closing

:16:59. > :17:03.on a regular basis. Where a service is closing once a year, a couple of

:17:04. > :17:07.times a year, we understand that and we support the heads of midwifery,

:17:08. > :17:10.but where they are closing it regularly, there is a pressure on

:17:11. > :17:14.that system and we have to look why. Is it staffing levels? Is it about

:17:15. > :17:18.the number of maternity beds? What's wrong in the system? We have to look

:17:19. > :17:21.closely and take this seriously so we would disagree with Government

:17:22. > :17:28.that we have enough in place. We need to drive this and please listen

:17:29. > :17:32.to this Government, we do need 3500 more midwives and we need them today

:17:33. > :17:38.and that will keep us treading water. We have an ageing midwifery

:17:39. > :17:42.workforce. We have one-third of our midwives who are over 50 and some

:17:43. > :17:50.are over 60. Thank you for explaining your case.

:17:51. > :18:06.In parts of three counties we have had up to nine millimetres of

:18:07. > :18:10.rainfall in the last hour. Here in London on the roof of Broadcasting

:18:11. > :18:15.House, it's fine and mild and it's brightening up. But don't be fooled

:18:16. > :18:18.because there is the chance of torrential downpours today

:18:19. > :18:21.particularly so across the South East and East Anglia which may well

:18:22. > :18:25.lead to surface water issues. Something to bear in mind. This

:18:26. > :18:30.morning as well as the rain and you can see where we have got that great

:18:31. > :18:34.big arc of rain, it is retating around an area of low pressure. We

:18:35. > :18:38.have got showers in the north and the west. In between the showers,

:18:39. > :18:42.sunshine. This scenario will carry on into the afternoon. Where we have

:18:43. > :18:47.got the cloud is where temperatures rise, it will spark off the heavy

:18:48. > :18:50.and thundery downpours. In Scotland, you're looking at sunshine and

:18:51. > :18:53.showers. Some of the showers will be heavy and thundery, but there will

:18:54. > :18:59.be a lot of dry or sunny conditions. It is the same for Cumbria and

:19:00. > :19:02.Lancashire, sunshine and showers, but for north-east England we are

:19:03. > :19:06.back into the rain fal and the rain extends across the Pennines, towards

:19:07. > :19:09.the Midlands, into East Anglia, through Cambridgeshire, the Home

:19:10. > :19:12.Counties, Kent, all the way down towards the Isle of Wight. In that

:19:13. > :19:16.rain, temperatures will come down and it will feel cool. But as we

:19:17. > :19:20.drift further west, in the direction of south-west England, we're back

:19:21. > :19:23.into bright spells, sunshine and showers and for Wales, some of the

:19:24. > :19:27.showers will be heavy and thundery. Some will be slow moving, but again

:19:28. > :19:32.in between them, we will see some brighter skies. For Northern

:19:33. > :19:36.Ireland, you will have sunshine and showers today, but the showers won't

:19:37. > :19:39.be as heavy and won't be as frequent, so a bit more sunshine for

:19:40. > :19:43.you. As we head through the course of the evening and overnight, we

:19:44. > :19:47.will have that rain. If anything, it will move a little bit further

:19:48. > :19:51.north. So extending across northern England, through parts of the

:19:52. > :19:54.Midlands, through parts of Wales, into Gloucestershire and also

:19:55. > :19:58.Somerset. Temperature wise tonight, ten to 13 Celsius in towns and

:19:59. > :20:01.cities. But in rural areas, we're looking at a chilly night. So we

:20:02. > :20:05.start off with that rain tomorrow and if anything, it's dragged by the

:20:06. > :20:09.low pressure back down towards the South East. And through the day.

:20:10. > :20:12.Again it is East Anglia and the South East of England that are

:20:13. > :20:18.likely to see heavy downpours. So again, there is the risk of surface

:20:19. > :20:21.water flooding. But for the rest of the UK, we're back into a drier day

:20:22. > :20:26.with fewer showers and some sunshine. And by the time we get to

:20:27. > :20:29.Thursday, well, we have got the dregs of the rain, it won't be as

:20:30. > :20:32.heavy in the South East, continuing to be pulled away on to the near

:20:33. > :20:37.Continent by the low pressure. So, most of us will have a dry day.

:20:38. > :20:39.There will be sunny spells. Take a glance at what's happening across

:20:40. > :20:43.the north-west of Scotland just off the coast. Another weather front is

:20:44. > :20:46.coming our way and that's going to be sinking south-east wards as well.

:20:47. > :20:51.So it is going to be fairly wet for some of us over the next couple of

:20:52. > :20:52.days, but particularly so in East Anglia and the South East, Dan and

:20:53. > :21:02.Lou. Carol, thank you very much, see you

:21:03. > :21:14.later. Thank you for your comments including carrier bags. Steph has

:21:15. > :21:15.the details. People have lots of opinions about paying for carrier

:21:16. > :21:17.bags. Good morning.

:21:18. > :21:19.Tesco is scrapping 5p carrier bags, which means anyone wanting

:21:20. > :21:23.to bag their shopping will either have to bring their own

:21:24. > :21:26.or pay for a bag for life which start at 10p.

:21:27. > :21:29.Tesco says it's to cut down on plastic bag usage.

:21:30. > :21:32.A lot of you have been in touch about this.

:21:33. > :21:42.Sue says "We managed without plastic before. Why do we need it now? It is

:21:43. > :21:49.do-able and the planet is worth it." Gaz says, "The bags can be recycled

:21:50. > :21:57.and reused." Rob says, "Why not get rid of the environmentally damaging

:21:58. > :22:06.plastic bags?" Peter says, "Since the introduction Tesco has donated

:22:07. > :22:09.its profits from the bags." We have seen the supermarkets donate the

:22:10. > :22:11.money that they have made from it, but they don't have to do it.

:22:12. > :22:17.The owner of the hotel chains like Holiday Inn,

:22:18. > :22:20.Crowne Plaza and Indigo has announced a rise in half year

:22:21. > :22:24.The chain has 750,000 rooms around the world and serves over

:22:25. > :22:32.It has said this morning it's focusing more on the boutique side

:22:33. > :22:34.of the business and reduce the budget hotel rooms.

:22:35. > :22:36.We are taking more foreign holidays than ever before.

:22:37. > :22:39.We did 45 million of them last year - that's up 70%

:22:40. > :22:46.One of the biggest changes is that we're doing more shorter

:22:47. > :23:02.More common is for us to do weekends away and then have a week away.

:23:03. > :23:05.Holidays, bags, hotels, you name it! I feel exhausted by it all!

:23:06. > :23:09.Thank you, Steph. First came Phileas Fogg,

:23:10. > :23:11.then Michael Palin and now it's the turn of cyclist,

:23:12. > :23:12.Mark Beaumont. He's aiming to travel

:23:13. > :23:15.around the world in 80 The challenge has seen him

:23:16. > :23:22.cover 240 miles a day, In a moment, we'll speak to Mark

:23:23. > :23:28.to find out how he's getting on, but first let's take a look

:23:29. > :23:47.at his journey so far It's great to get the first day in

:23:48. > :23:51.and put miles in the bank. It's great. I thought it was just a bit

:23:52. > :23:55.of sitting water and my front wheel in and it was just a huge hole. The

:23:56. > :24:00.first thing I felt was broken tooth in my mouth. I've chipped a good

:24:01. > :24:04.amount of my ka nine tooth there. I wasn't loving the last couple of

:24:05. > :24:07.days in Russia because of the trucks and the rough roads and the storms

:24:08. > :24:15.and the head wind, but days like today make up for it.

:24:16. > :24:21.This is back on tarmac. Oh, the end of day 26. That is the Chinese

:24:22. > :24:33.border. And it's closed! This is the end of leg one. 6675 miles from

:24:34. > :24:38.Paris in 28 days. I'm in Australia! I have to say, that's not sunk in

:24:39. > :24:42.yet. It all feels a little bit weird.

:24:43. > :24:45.I just felt it go uneven like, it wasn't pedalling level and that's

:24:46. > :24:50.when I shouted stop and change the pedals. Today was a good day because

:24:51. > :24:55.I clocked over 8,000 miles. I'm here with my hot-water bottle and food

:24:56. > :25:03.and I will be asleep in about 20 minutes.

:25:04. > :25:11.We are on a Skype line. It could go down any time.

:25:12. > :25:24.I'm between Adelaide and Melbourne so I'm in Victoria. It is later in

:25:25. > :25:32.the day for me. I'm already about 300 kilometres into my day. Most

:25:33. > :25:35.people here in the UK, they are getting to grips with the new day.

:25:36. > :25:39.Tell us about the harder times you have had. There was that awful crash

:25:40. > :25:45.you had in Russia, wasn't there? That was day nine. I got through

:25:46. > :25:50.Europe in six days. I was flying and got east of Moscow. I was on such a

:25:51. > :25:54.high and putting in huge days and then early morning rain, crashed and

:25:55. > :25:59.I thought it was all over. I really did, day nine.

:26:00. > :26:03.Breaking my tooth was annoying and we had to get emergency dental

:26:04. > :26:07.repairs done on the roadside literally, but what ended up being a

:26:08. > :26:13.more long-term issue is the damage I've done to my left elbow. A month

:26:14. > :26:16.later and it's still giving me a lot of grief. It looks like there is a

:26:17. > :26:21.hairline fracture or an issue there. I'm on the bike for 16 hours a day

:26:22. > :26:25.so there is no time for the body to recover. I mean there has been many

:26:26. > :26:29.highs and lows. Some preting unforgiving weather as you might

:26:30. > :26:32.imagine. It's winter down here so the graveyard shift, the early

:26:33. > :26:35.morning shifts are incredibly cold and the battle in Australia is

:26:36. > :26:41.always the wind. Sometimes it's with me. Sometimes it's against me and

:26:42. > :26:44.that's incredibly tough. So 240 miles a day with a broken arm as

:26:45. > :26:54.well. You're nearly at the half-way point. Mentally, how are things

:26:55. > :26:59.going, Mark? Massive highs and lows. Anyone involved in endurance sport

:27:00. > :27:02.will know that. There is wonderful moments, riding through dawn every

:27:03. > :27:08.day is exciting. Completing a big day knowing... The mental battle

:27:09. > :27:12.every day. I will never be able to put into words where your mind goes

:27:13. > :27:17.on the bike. I'm only sleeping five hours a night. I'm on the bike from

:27:18. > :27:22.4am. I get off the bike at about half nine at night, but there is

:27:23. > :27:26.enough milestones along the way to keep the focus short. By the end of

:27:27. > :27:33.today I should behalf way around the world and that's massive, you know,

:27:34. > :27:38.that will be about 37 days and 18 hours since I left from Paris and

:27:39. > :27:42.I've gone 9,000 miles. I cycled around the world ten years ago and

:27:43. > :27:46.it took me a lot longer than that. Well, listen, all the best with it

:27:47. > :27:50.Mark, and we'll catch up with you again. Keep pounding the pavements

:27:51. > :27:56.and we will see you later on. Good luck, Mark. A broken arm. 240 miles

:27:57. > :27:59.a day. He's eating 8,000 calories. Incredible. Good luck to him.

:28:00. > :31:19.Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

:31:20. > :31:33.Hello, this is Breakfast with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

:31:34. > :31:38.More than 40 maternity units in England closed to new admissions

:31:39. > :31:40.at some point last year, according to data

:31:41. > :31:44.42 out of 96 trusts in England that responded to a Freedom

:31:45. > :31:46.of Information request said they'd shut maternity wards

:31:47. > :31:52.The Government says the numbers are misleading.

:31:53. > :31:55.A British woman is being treated in hospital after being shot

:31:56. > :31:58.while on holiday with her family in Brazil.

:31:59. > :32:01.Eloise Dixon from South London was driving with her partner

:32:02. > :32:04.and three children when they took a wrong turn into an area controlled

:32:05. > :32:11.She was shot twice and the medics treating her say she's

:32:12. > :32:18.More details have emerged in the case of the British model

:32:19. > :32:21.who claims she was drugged and held captive for nearly a week

:32:22. > :32:24.The lawyer representing Chloe Ayling, who's 20

:32:25. > :32:26.and from South London, says she was told by her kidnappers

:32:27. > :32:29.that she would be sold as a slave in the Middle East.

:32:30. > :32:32.He explained that she was acting under duress when she was seen

:32:33. > :32:40.shopping with her captor before she was freed.

:32:41. > :32:42.Contaminated eggs - imported from the Netherlands -

:32:43. > :32:44.have been distributed in the UK, according

:32:45. > :32:47.They were found to contain an insecticide which can

:32:48. > :32:51.Health officials say only a "very small number" of the affected eggs

:32:52. > :33:00.have reached UK shores and the risk to the public is low.

:33:01. > :33:08.We don't think there's any reason why people should avoid eggs, or

:33:09. > :33:13.change the way they cook or con seemed them. The vast majority of

:33:14. > :33:17.them would have been eaten already. If we find any products still on the

:33:18. > :33:18.market that have got those eggs in them, we'll make sure they are taken

:33:19. > :33:27.off sale. A victim of the 9/11 attack on the

:33:28. > :33:32.World Trade Center has been identified 16 years on. The man's

:33:33. > :33:37.identity was determined after DNA was retested using new technology.

:33:38. > :33:40.The Welsh government has announced plans to invest more than ?1 million

:33:41. > :33:43.in dental health. It says the move will create 10,000

:33:44. > :33:45.new NHS dental places, including in some of the most

:33:46. > :33:48.deprived parts of Wales. However, critics - including

:33:49. > :33:50.the British Dental Association - say the Welsh government took

:33:51. > :33:52.more than ?6 million out of the Welsh dental budget last year

:33:53. > :34:08.and the investment announced today We had some pretty amazing pictures

:34:09. > :34:12.this morning of a lunar eclipse visible in many parts of the world.

:34:13. > :34:14.Eclipses happen when the Earth passes between the sun

:34:15. > :34:17.This one could be viewed on several continents,

:34:18. > :34:20.although many countries could only see part of it.

:34:21. > :34:23.A second full eclipse will occur on the 21st of August

:34:24. > :34:25.over North America - the first of its kind

:34:26. > :34:43.It looks a bit like a Star Wars set. It looks so beautiful.

:34:44. > :34:45.Coming up here on Breakfast this morning.

:34:46. > :34:48.We'll return to the London Stadium to speak to the former javelin

:34:49. > :34:50.world record holder, Steve Backley, about the World

:34:51. > :34:59.I felt like we needed a fresh start, so here I am.

:35:00. > :35:02.And from being confirmed as the next Dr Who...

:35:03. > :35:05.After 8:30, we'll find out about actress Jodie Whittaker's

:35:06. > :35:11.new role in the BBC thriller, Trust Me.

:35:12. > :35:14.And after 9am, we'll meet the former homeless man turned property tycoon,

:35:15. > :35:22.to find out why he's planning to give away a flat for free.

:35:23. > :35:28.Now let's find out what is happening at the world athletics

:35:29. > :35:30.Championships. Yesterday was a really exciting day.

:35:31. > :35:33.It was an amazing 1500 metres last night, with Laura Muir just

:35:34. > :35:37.Jessica is at the London Stadium for us this morning.

:35:38. > :35:43.What a great place to be standing, even though they aren't there. Good

:35:44. > :35:46.morning. We've moved up to the stadium now. The British team had

:35:47. > :35:51.such high hopes going into these championships. They were set an

:35:52. > :35:56.ambitious target of 6-8 medals. At this point the British team still

:35:57. > :36:01.only have one medal to their name, the fantastic gold won by Mo Farah

:36:02. > :36:05.in that brilliant 10,000 metre final. You begin to wonder as we

:36:06. > :36:08.start day five where those medals are going to come from. There were

:36:09. > :36:10.missed opportunities particularly last night.

:36:11. > :36:12.It was heartbreak for Great Britain's Laura Muir

:36:13. > :36:15.in the women's 1500m final, as she missed out on a medal

:36:16. > :36:19.by seven hundredths of a second on the finish line.

:36:20. > :36:26.She ran a very brave race in what was a tough field including the

:36:27. > :36:28.Olympic champion and the world champion.

:36:29. > :36:31.The 24-year-old was pipped right at the end by South

:36:32. > :36:32.Africa's Caster Semenya, who's perhaps better

:36:33. > :36:49.Just that last 50 metres I was tied up.

:36:50. > :36:55.Considering what has happened this year, I gave it all I could

:36:56. > :37:00.Disappointment too for the Olympic bronze medallist Sophie Hitchon -

:37:01. > :37:04.she couldn't quite match her achievements at Rio last year.

:37:05. > :37:06.Her best effort of 72.32 in the hammer final wasn't enough

:37:07. > :37:19.for a medal as she finished in seventh place.

:37:20. > :37:20.Better news for team captain Eilidh Doyle,

:37:21. > :37:23.was one of two British women who made it into the semifinals

:37:24. > :37:30.We were expecting to see the fastest man in the world over 200 metres,

:37:31. > :37:31.Botswana's Isaac Makwala, run last night.

:37:32. > :37:35.But he was absent from his heat and it later emerged he was one

:37:36. > :37:37.of a number of athletes suffering from stomach bug at one

:37:38. > :37:51.Moeen Ali was England's hero once again, as he and his team-mates

:37:52. > :37:53.secured a 3-1 series win over South Africa.

:37:54. > :38:00.He helped England claim a 177-run victory in the Fourth Test,

:38:01. > :38:03.and also ensured that the team climbs to third in the Test

:38:04. > :38:07.It's a first home Test series win against South Africa

:38:08. > :38:21.And a first for Joe Root as England captain.

:38:22. > :38:26.Thank you, Jessica. It's lovely to see you there.

:38:27. > :38:31.As you've been hearing, lots of action on the track at the world

:38:32. > :38:35.athletics Championships and plenty more to come. You've been having a

:38:36. > :38:40.look at what's in store today. Here it is.

:38:41. > :38:43.Britain's Kyle Langford finished second in his semi-final to take

:38:44. > :38:50.Langford is just 21, he won the European junior title in 2015.

:38:51. > :38:55.South African Wayde van Niekerk is the 400 metre Olympic champion.

:38:56. > :38:59.He cruised into the 400 metre final, and is expected to win gold.

:39:00. > :39:07.He's hoping to do the 200 and 400 metre double here in London.

:39:08. > :39:09.Next up, Eilidh Doyle, crowned European champion in 2014,

:39:10. > :39:13.a two-time Commonwealth silver-medallist.

:39:14. > :39:16.She was also voted the British team captain for these championships.

:39:17. > :39:19.She says she's in good shape coming into the event.

:39:20. > :39:28.Frenchman Renaud Lavillenie, who won the Olympic title here in 2012,

:39:29. > :39:32.will be aiming to win his first outdoor world title.

:39:33. > :39:35.He only started training in May this year after suffering a foot injury,

:39:36. > :39:42.If you want to keep up with today's action,

:39:43. > :39:53.tune in to BBC Two from 6:30pm to 10:30pm tonight.

:39:54. > :40:00.And we can speak now to the double Olympic javelin silver

:40:01. > :40:02.medallist Steve Backley, who is also part of

:40:03. > :40:04.the BBC's commentary team at the World Athletics.

:40:05. > :40:08.Thank you for joining us. We are looking ahead at what's happening

:40:09. > :40:13.today. I wondered how you would assess the British performance so

:40:14. > :40:19.far, still that single gold medal for Mo Farah. Yes, just the one

:40:20. > :40:24.gold. It's not been going great. We've had some marginal performances

:40:25. > :40:27.that have been the wrong side of the medals. Katarina Johnson-Thompson

:40:28. > :40:33.hope to get a medal and didn't. Laura Muir last night coming fourth

:40:34. > :40:37.in the 1500 metres. Sophie Hitchon to medal last year in the Olympics,

:40:38. > :40:41.she came in seventh place. It's not been the greatest so far. The medal

:40:42. > :40:46.chances are running out for the British team. Talk us through last

:40:47. > :40:54.night and Laura Muir and that 1500 metres. Laura, for me, I've watched

:40:55. > :41:00.a lot of middle-distance running over the years. I grew up in the

:41:01. > :41:05.said code area and I love the event. Laura got the tactics of the run. I

:41:06. > :41:08.think surely back and say she got it wrong. She went out fast and slowed

:41:09. > :41:14.it down and was swallowed up by field. Three laps in, to get bumped

:41:15. > :41:25.around a she did, is energy sapping. She just didn't have the legs in the

:41:26. > :41:29.final stages. Cast as many in the final -- Caster Semenya in the final

:41:30. > :41:33.closing in on her. I really feel for her. For the position, the worst

:41:34. > :41:38.position any athlete can come in. She really got it wrong

:41:39. > :41:42.strategically. At least she was able to perform. You know what it's like

:41:43. > :41:46.to prepare for these major championships we'd try and take care

:41:47. > :41:50.of every detail, then you arrive and you get a stomach bug which a number

:41:51. > :41:55.of athletes are suffering from. Quite a few people aren't even able

:41:56. > :42:02.to compete. Yes, you train for months and years comic you try to

:42:03. > :42:07.uncover every stone and be as diligent as you possibly can. Then

:42:08. > :42:10.to get take stomach bug which I understand is affecting German team

:42:11. > :42:15.in particular, this sort of stuff happens. You only drink bottled

:42:16. > :42:20.water, you take the ice out of your drinks, you wash your hands, you're

:42:21. > :42:23.careful. But if there's a bug flying around and it affects you

:42:24. > :42:27.systemically you are going to suffer the consequences. The margins of

:42:28. > :42:31.victory to not making the final that the World Championships are tiny,

:42:32. > :42:36.something like a stomach bug can be hugely debilitating. It can really

:42:37. > :42:41.take the legs out from under you. Literally! Let's look ahead to the

:42:42. > :42:49.200 metres semifinals. Three British men through, could there be a medal

:42:50. > :42:54.there? I think when athletes are in the mix in finals they have a

:42:55. > :42:59.chance. It's been going the wrong way for so many of the athletes,

:43:00. > :43:03.Katarina Johnson-Thompson, Holly Bradshaw, Sophie Hitchon, Laura

:43:04. > :43:11.Muir, just the wrong side of the medals. In the 200 metres we've got

:43:12. > :43:16.some chances. While athletes are in the mix, something has got to go our

:43:17. > :43:19.way at some point. We were talking yesterday to the guys who finished

:43:20. > :43:24.really well in the marathon and they were talking about the power and the

:43:25. > :43:29.pull of a home crowd. It can also affect you negatively. Could that be

:43:30. > :43:33.happening on some occasions? No. I think it's only positive. The one

:43:34. > :43:38.British performance that's been off the chart is the crowds in Nuremberg

:43:39. > :43:43.stadium, 60,000 people in every session pretty much. That's only

:43:44. > :43:49.positive. There's nothing negative about that. There's a real optimism.

:43:50. > :43:53.The atmosphere is incredible here inside the stadium. That can only be

:43:54. > :43:59.positive. We aren't really making the most of it yet. We are getting

:44:00. > :44:04.towards the halfway stage of the World Championships, more chances

:44:05. > :44:11.hopefully to convert. Let's hope so. It's lovely to hear about the crowd.

:44:12. > :44:19.Thank you. You can watch all the athletics coverage from 6:30pm

:44:20. > :44:22.tonight on BBC Two. More details have been urging the case of the

:44:23. > :44:26.British model who claims she was drugged and held captive for a week

:44:27. > :44:31.in Italy. The lawyer representing Chloe Ayling has been speaking to

:44:32. > :44:35.the BBC. Let's get more information from our Europe correspondent in

:44:36. > :44:44.Milan. Good morning. Tell us what the lawyer has been saying. Good

:44:45. > :44:49.morning. He believes, he told me, there has been a lot of conflicting

:44:50. > :44:53.reports about this. There has been a lot of concern for Chloe Ayling but

:44:54. > :44:58.also a lot of misreporting. What we know so far, what the lawyer has

:44:59. > :45:03.said and the police have confirmed, is that she was taken a fuse streets

:45:04. > :45:10.from here at a fake photo shoot she had left the UK for. She was

:45:11. > :45:19.injected with kept in, bundled into a bag in the back of a car and taken

:45:20. > :45:23.120 miles to the French border, an empty village farmhouse. Inside

:45:24. > :45:27.there, the lawyer Francesco Peschi said to me that she spent a few days

:45:28. > :45:34.tied to furniture. She was eventually released. At that point

:45:35. > :45:39.she was able to spend some time wandering the house. But she was

:45:40. > :45:43.always told if she moved, she was threatened with death. She's in a

:45:44. > :45:47.situation where, for her, her lawyer said she felt she had to comply.

:45:48. > :45:50.There have been reports that she went shopping with one of her

:45:51. > :45:56.captors the day before she was released. She is saying and her

:45:57. > :46:00.lawyer is saying this is because she was complying. She was told if she

:46:01. > :46:03.didn't do whatever they said she would be killed. We now know she

:46:04. > :46:07.stayed in Italy for another three weeks and was only released on

:46:08. > :46:09.Sunday. She has been showing police and helping them as much as she

:46:10. > :46:18.could. What do you know about the lines of

:46:19. > :46:22.inquiry the police are following? The police investigators here, they

:46:23. > :46:26.believe there are up to four men involved in this gang, the Black

:46:27. > :46:31.Death group behind this kidnapping, and on the face of it it seems to

:46:32. > :46:36.suggest they were trying to sell her online. The lawyer for Chloe said

:46:37. > :46:46.she was told she was going to be sold for sex in the Middle East. For

:46:47. > :46:51.?230,000. But there might be moderate than that. One Polish

:46:52. > :46:58.National from the West Midlands has been arrested already. We are told

:46:59. > :47:02.he is being questioned right now, and his name is Lukasz Herba. He is

:47:03. > :47:06.probably likely to appear in court in about six monthss' time in this

:47:07. > :47:11.case. STUDIO: Thank you for that update.

:47:12. > :47:16.If you're following the cycling, Mark Beaumont, cycling in

:47:17. > :47:20.Australia... Was speaking to us while he was cycling, obviously

:47:21. > :47:24.hands-free, an amazing athlete. Yes, if you want to find that interview

:47:25. > :47:29.again you can watch it on the eye player, at various points throughout

:47:30. > :47:37.the day as well. I think he was an act 20 past eight -- the iPlayer.

:47:38. > :47:38.That was the weather in Australia. Here's Carol with a look

:47:39. > :47:47.at this morning's weather. Thank you. I'm on the roof of the

:47:48. > :47:51.Broadcasting House in London. It is bright and we might even see a

:47:52. > :47:56.glimmer of sunshine however that is not necessarily the forecast today.

:47:57. > :48:00.We have showers, some rain, and the chance of some heavy downpours which

:48:01. > :48:05.could also be thundery. We have already had some heavy thundery

:48:06. > :48:10.downpours today, some heavy rain across Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire,

:48:11. > :48:12.for example, up to roughly nine millimetres of rainfall, and you can

:48:13. > :48:17.throw in Buckinghamshire as well. Not everywhere, just parts of these

:48:18. > :48:21.counties. You can see where we have that rain, heavy in Lincolnshire,

:48:22. > :48:25.down through the Midlands through parts of the South of England. Then

:48:26. > :48:28.there is a dryer area with a lot of cloud in East Anglia and the

:48:29. > :48:39.south-east and on the other side of that, sunshine and showers. Into the

:48:40. > :48:41.afternoon the forecast for Scotland is sunshine and showers, some heavy

:48:42. > :48:44.and thundery, but don't forget there will be a fair bit of sunshine in

:48:45. > :48:46.between. Cumbria, Lancashire, also bright spells and sunshine and

:48:47. > :48:50.showers. Then we run into the rain. North-east England, the Midlands,

:48:51. > :48:54.East Anglia, down towards the south coast and Kent. This is where we

:48:55. > :48:58.will see some torrential downpours, especially East Anglia and the

:48:59. > :49:02.south-east. Drifting further west, we are back into bright spells,

:49:03. > :49:05.sunshine and showers. We have that scenario for Wales this afternoon,

:49:06. > :49:15.but you will find the showers will be more frequent air, heavier and

:49:16. > :49:18.likely to be thundery. For Northern Ireland, sunshine and showers sums

:49:19. > :49:20.it up. The showers will be less frequent and also less intense.

:49:21. > :49:23.Through the evening and overnight, the band of rain will edge further

:49:24. > :49:27.north, extending from north-east and north-west England down towards the

:49:28. > :49:31.Midlands, Wales, Gloucestershire and Somerset. On either side it will be

:49:32. > :49:36.dryer with a few showers and temperatures running about 10-13,

:49:37. > :49:39.but chilly in some rural areas. Tomorrow starts with that same arc

:49:40. > :49:43.of rain but it will be dragged further south by the low-pressure

:49:44. > :49:46.governing our weather at the moment, so again tomorrow in East Anglia and

:49:47. > :50:05.also the south-east we will see some heavy rain, and all of this

:50:06. > :50:08.could with surface water flooding, for example, in places. Moving away

:50:09. > :50:10.from that, back into bright skies and some sunshine. Thursday morning

:50:11. > :50:13.sees the remnants of that rain in the south-east eventually pulling

:50:14. > :50:15.away leaving most of us with a dry day with sunny spells, but as you

:50:16. > :50:18.can see just off the coastline of north-west Scotland, more rain

:50:19. > :50:21.waiting in the wings, and that is also coming our way. If you have not

:50:22. > :50:23.bought a brolly, get one now! Back to you. Their sales will increase to

:50:24. > :50:28.the! When Carol tells you to do something, you just have to do it!

:50:29. > :50:35.LAUGHTER Before we go to buy a brolly...

:50:36. > :50:38.While the world awaits her debut as the first female Doctor Who,

:50:39. > :50:41.Jodie Whittaker's next role will see her play a nurse

:50:42. > :50:43.who impersonates a doctor of the medical variety in new BBC

:50:44. > :50:47.Dan Sefton wrote the series and has more insight than most

:50:48. > :50:49.into the profession, because he's a doctor

:50:50. > :50:53.We'll speak to him in a moment, but first let's take a look

:50:54. > :50:57.We should warn you that if you're not a fan of medical

:50:58. > :51:17.Yes, very important. Close your eyes for just a moment, but stay with us!

:51:18. > :51:25.We're thinking of pulling the SAP, OK?

:51:26. > :51:44.The skin's already looking a bit stretched and Andy

:51:45. > :51:48.We don't want it falling off in x-ray - do we,

:51:49. > :52:00.I'll get the plaster trolley and we'll get cracking - literally.

:52:01. > :52:03.Definitely a broken ankle! LAUGHTER

:52:04. > :52:03.Possibly dislocated, but I'm not an expert.

:52:04. > :52:15.Good morning to you. In a moment we will come to what it is all about,

:52:16. > :52:20.but you yourself are an A doctor. And you have written the script, so

:52:21. > :52:23.you know what goes on in A? Absolutely. All the medical

:52:24. > :52:28.procedures in the show have happened to me or happens to people I know

:52:29. > :52:32.very well, and the ankle, that is slightly toned down from the worst

:52:33. > :52:39.one I have seen, but... It is pulled down? Yes, toned down. One of the

:52:40. > :52:43.things about the show, what it is really like in A, but it was

:52:44. > :52:46.important to show people what A doctors go through on a daily basis,

:52:47. > :52:50.so all of the medical things, the things that scare me, have disturbed

:52:51. > :52:55.me, it will hopefully show that the character, well she is playing a

:52:56. > :52:59.role as a doctor as an impostor, she has a tricky job and having to deal

:53:00. > :53:03.with these things night and day. That is another thing. She is a

:53:04. > :53:07.nurse, so she wants a clean break, moves to another part of the UK and

:53:08. > :53:09.takes on the identity of a friend of hers and essentially pretends to be

:53:10. > :53:15.a doctor. Is that something which you seem, or one of those stories

:53:16. > :53:19.you hear about? There are lots of examples of it, and if you Google

:53:20. > :53:23.impostor doctor you will find pages and pages throughout the last

:53:24. > :53:27.hundreds of years. There was one close to home when I was talking

:53:28. > :53:31.about this. Talking to the guys I work with and I asked, what about

:53:32. > :53:34.this? At the nurse said yes, we had one in our department couple of

:53:35. > :53:39.years ago, which I had no idea about, so I chased it up and asked

:53:40. > :53:44.about it, and it was true. A doctor just down the road, had worked in

:53:45. > :53:48.several other trusts in the UK, and that is when it started to take off,

:53:49. > :53:57.this does happen. While it is a big exciting premise, it is based on

:53:58. > :53:59.fact. I like the way you have written it, because we know she is

:54:00. > :54:01.an impostor and obviously all the other people in the drama don't.

:54:02. > :54:03.We've got an exclusive clip from tonight's episode.

:54:04. > :54:05.In an interview for the job as a doctor,

:54:06. > :54:33.So why the hell are you here? I'm sorry? This is a bloody great CV,

:54:34. > :54:37.you're so qualified, established, and why are you hanging around

:54:38. > :54:44.looking for work? I was looking for a new challenge professionally. But

:54:45. > :54:49.why here? Not exactly a service of excellence, so you have either

:54:50. > :54:56.killed and patient or, worse, you've placed someone off. Sorry... Rewind,

:54:57. > :55:07.start again. You are clearly good at this. Why here?

:55:08. > :55:20.You're right. There was something. I needed a change. I was married, and

:55:21. > :55:26.there were problems. We separated, but I have a daughter, and I didn't

:55:27. > :55:29.want her growing up in the middle of all that. I felt like we needed a

:55:30. > :55:42.fresh start, so here I am. So one lie, as anyone will know,

:55:43. > :55:49.often leads to bigger and bigger lies, and you can just see it on

:55:50. > :55:53.folding, can't you? Yes, this was at the heart of this, taking on a

:55:54. > :55:57.fundamentally honest character. Can you just take on one lie, and stay

:55:58. > :56:01.the same person, or does that change you? You see how life starts to

:56:02. > :56:06.unravel because she cannot stop lying, and where does that lead to?

:56:07. > :56:10.Does it change as a person? The thing I find fascinating, as an

:56:11. > :56:15.actor, Jodie Whittaker is lying, and then during the filming of this, is

:56:16. > :56:21.this when she learned about the role of Doctor Who, so she couldn't tell

:56:22. > :56:25.anybody about that either? She is impersonating being a doctor, even

:56:26. > :56:26.though she has a job as a doctor somewhere. Back Deeley see what I

:56:27. > :56:33.mean? LAUGHTER

:56:34. > :56:37.-- do you see what I mean? She is obviously very good liar. We needed

:56:38. > :56:41.someone who was a fantastic actress, so she is great for the role. She

:56:42. > :56:45.can't talk about what is going on in her head but the audience need to be

:56:46. > :56:49.able to read every emotion through her face, her interaction with the

:56:50. > :56:53.camera rather than dialogue. She didn't whisper a word of it while

:56:54. > :56:57.you were filming this, I know. At what point did you realise... Was it

:56:58. > :57:02.when you saw her face, when we heard that trailer, for Doctor Who, that

:57:03. > :57:08.it was going to be? As soon as I saw the first moment of it I just

:57:09. > :57:12.thought, oh, that is Jodie. And I had no clue about it. I was excited.

:57:13. > :57:16.I thought, they couldn't have made a better choice really. And in some

:57:17. > :57:21.ways, brilliant for you, because we know all about her. We did anyway,

:57:22. > :57:28.and you have in your drama as well? Yes, fantastic. It was a real coup

:57:29. > :57:34.for us, good fortune, really. Louise loved it, she walked in this morning

:57:35. > :57:35.and said, oh, it's good. Yes. LAUGHTER

:57:36. > :57:40.Trust Me begins tonight at 9pm on BBC One.

:57:41. > :57:43.Thank you for joining us, Dan. Good to talk to you.

:57:44. > :57:48.Teenagers across Scotland will be waking up this morning to receive

:57:49. > :57:56.Rebecca Burnett from Cambuslang on the outskirts of Glasgow

:57:57. > :57:58.has just received her higher results, and she joins us now.

:57:59. > :58:03.Let's find out how she got on. Rebecca, are you happy with what

:58:04. > :58:10.you've got? Yes, I'm quite pleased with what I got. I think I did quite

:58:11. > :58:14.well. Better than I thought, really. Dev us an idea, Rebecca? To stress

:58:15. > :58:20.or a day has today been? Not just for you but for your family as well.

:58:21. > :58:24.-- how stressful day has this been. It wasn't too bad because in terms

:58:25. > :58:28.of nerves I had thought about by results a lot before I got them. It

:58:29. > :58:33.was just coming up to it, the anticipation. It was a bit all over

:58:34. > :58:36.the place, if you know what I mean. Do you know how your school friends

:58:37. > :58:40.have got on as well? Have you been texting and calling each other? Some

:58:41. > :58:47.of them, yes. Some of them don't have their results in yet. Some

:58:48. > :58:53.people think they might have signed up for it but haven't got the text,

:58:54. > :58:58.if you know what I mean. Sorry, Rebecca, what are your plans for

:58:59. > :59:04.now? I imagine you will celebrate today, but what happens after that?

:59:05. > :59:09.What you want to do? Well, today I am going to do an addition for my

:59:10. > :59:15.gold, so I will be walking all-day day then camping until Friday, so

:59:16. > :59:21.that'll be fun. If there like a great way to celebrate. What about

:59:22. > :59:31.long-term plans? I am actually going to go to college at the end of this

:59:32. > :59:35.month, so I am doing an NC course in childcare. And eventually is that

:59:36. > :59:41.what you want to go into, to work and childcare? Yes, I want to go

:59:42. > :59:45.into teaching, and work with kids of different ages, primary school.

:59:46. > :59:49.Listen, thank you so much for talking to us. As you say, I know it

:59:50. > :59:52.has been a stressful day. Congratulations on those results and

:59:53. > :59:57.best, not only with you Duke of Edinburgh today, walking all day in

:59:58. > :59:59.preparation for that gold award, and all the best with the next course

:00:00. > :00:00.and hopefully a career in childcare going forward as well. Thank

:00:01. > :00:09.Rebecca. To all those people who got results

:00:10. > :00:13.today and over the next two weeks there are lots of results coming in.

:00:14. > :00:22.Good luck and I'm sure you've all worked really hard. I still remember

:00:23. > :00:27.going to get my A-level results. I grabbed the envelope and I just ran

:00:28. > :00:28.out. You don't want to open them in front of anybody! Good luck to

:00:29. > :00:32.everyone. When our next guest was diagnosed

:00:33. > :00:34.with pancreatic cancer at the age of 41, she was told she'd be

:00:35. > :00:37.unlikely to see out Today, ten years on, Ali Stunt

:00:38. > :00:41.is among the 1% with the disease In that time she's

:00:42. > :00:44.set up the charity, Pancreatic Cancer Action,

:00:45. > :00:46.to offer hope to others affected by the disease and help break

:00:47. > :00:59.the stigma that it's incurable. I just want to say congratulations,

:01:00. > :01:05.you're the 1%! I am indeed. It's a bit surreal. Ten years ago I didn't

:01:06. > :01:11.think that I would be hitting 50, let alone surviving ten years with

:01:12. > :01:16.pancreatic cancer. That 1% figure seems unachievable. When I was

:01:17. > :01:21.diagnosed the survival rate was 3%. It was a big hill to climb but I've

:01:22. > :01:27.got there. It's early diagnosis that has got me that. It took you a while

:01:28. > :01:32.to get that diagnosis because you had to visit the GP on several

:01:33. > :01:36.occasions and you were given various medication to deal with a stomach

:01:37. > :01:41.upset. Absolutely. I was one of those people who didn't go to the GP

:01:42. > :01:44.that often. Then I was turning up virtually every week and sometimes

:01:45. > :01:51.twice a week. I had symptoms that were like pain on eating which they

:01:52. > :01:55.put down to indigestion symptoms and told me to take over-the-counter

:01:56. > :02:01.medication. I had a change in bowel habits and I also had back pain. My

:02:02. > :02:08.back pain was up here and radiating run to the front. It wasn't a

:02:09. > :02:12.muscular pain and was very hard to describe. I was told to take

:02:13. > :02:19.painkillers, which I did. The escalation of the pain over a short

:02:20. > :02:23.period of time, about 5-6 weeks, and I was chewing all the analgesics I

:02:24. > :02:29.could get my hands on. Eventually I ended up in A How did somebody

:02:30. > :02:35.eventually diagnose it? They thought I might have gallstones that was

:02:36. > :02:38.causing the pain. Gallstones is a common misdiagnosis for pancreatic

:02:39. > :02:42.cancer. I was told I needed an ultrasound but it was bank holiday

:02:43. > :02:49.Monday in August. There was no one to operate the scan in Surrey. I was

:02:50. > :02:55.told to see my GP the next day. She told me it would be 4-6 weeks for an

:02:56. > :03:00.ultrasound because no one was expecting cancer including myself. I

:03:01. > :03:05.was in so much pain that I didn't feel I could wait that long, and

:03:06. > :03:09.luckily I was on my husband's medical insurance and I saw my

:03:10. > :03:15.consultant within two days. He admitted me straightaway and I had

:03:16. > :03:21.an emergency ultrasound followed by a CT scan 20 minutes later which

:03:22. > :03:29.showed I had a 5.5 centimetre mass on my pancreas. There's a lot of

:03:30. > :03:35.blood vessels in that area. Absolutely. It was in the body of my

:03:36. > :03:39.pancreas so it was away from those blood vessels. It was growing

:03:40. > :03:43.rapidly and if I'd waited for- six weeks, we don't know whether I would

:03:44. > :03:49.have been able to have the operation in which case I wouldn't be care. It

:03:50. > :03:56.was that close. It is the surgery followed by chemotherapy and, in my

:03:57. > :04:04.case, chemo radiotherapy. What lessons need to be learnt? If people

:04:05. > :04:07.get a diagnosis, what do they do? It's really, really difficult if

:04:08. > :04:12.you've got a diagnosis because a lot of people think that's it. But if

:04:13. > :04:18.you are diagnosed in time for surgery to be an option, or

:04:19. > :04:22.sometimes when you are borderline and they may use chemotherapy to

:04:23. > :04:27.shrink back the tumour to make you operable, there is a potential you

:04:28. > :04:34.may be cheered, like potentially I have -- you may be cured. It's a

:04:35. > :04:37.difficult diagnosis to take because the statistics are shocking, and

:04:38. > :04:42.it's difficult to get your head round. One of the things my husband

:04:43. > :04:48.helped me with was trying to think about being my own statistic, trying

:04:49. > :04:52.to think it was my own disease, my treatment and my outcome and time a

:04:53. > :04:57.statistic of one. He's proved me right on that. It is a way to get

:04:58. > :05:03.three that mentally, because it is quite difficult to think positively

:05:04. > :05:09.when you have pancreatic cancer. That's a message you try to get

:05:10. > :05:17.across your charity. Absolutely. Thank you very much for coming to

:05:18. > :05:21.talk to us. In a few minutes time will meet a former homeless man

:05:22. > :05:23.turned property tycoon who is giving away a flat for free.

:05:24. > :05:25.Now a last brief look at the headlines where

:05:26. > :07:11.As a child, our next guest, slept on a park bench

:07:12. > :07:13.as he and his mother struggled to make ends meet.

:07:14. > :07:16.Fast forward to the present day and Marco Robinson is now

:07:17. > :07:22.In an effort to help another family escape the financial

:07:23. > :07:24.hardship he once endured, Marco is giving a way

:07:25. > :07:30.a three bedroom flat in Preston - worth ?120,000.

:07:31. > :07:33.We'll speak to him in a moment, but first let's see

:07:34. > :07:44.a clip from the programme Get A House For Free.

:07:45. > :07:51.I really want to meet as many people as I can, get to know their story,

:07:52. > :07:55.find out the truth. Find out the reasons why they are where they are.

:07:56. > :08:00.But really, it's about how are they going to benefit from it. Am I going

:08:01. > :08:07.to benefit the right people? Are they going to get the most benefit

:08:08. > :08:12.from it by me giving a home to them? To meet has many of those who have

:08:13. > :08:17.applied for the property as possible, Marco has arranged an open

:08:18. > :08:22.day. Oh my goodness, it's like a dream come true. What's your

:08:23. > :08:29.situation now? We live at home with my mum and dad. We are in a

:08:30. > :08:36.two-bedroom flat. My daughter shares with my mum and dad and I've got him

:08:37. > :08:40.in the box room. It's small. We have 14 days to vacate. That means we are

:08:41. > :08:46.going to be on the street against PLO how do you feel about that? That

:08:47. > :08:52.is scary. It gets you down, doesn't it? What would happen if you were

:08:53. > :08:55.evicted? I don't know, I've never been in this situation before. We

:08:56. > :08:58.need to get a roof over our heads and then we'll take it from there.

:08:59. > :09:10.What we saw there was a selection of the thousands of people who applied.

:09:11. > :09:17.Give us an idea of how this came up. As you said, thousands, there were

:09:18. > :09:21.8000 official applicants. For me, basically, I wanted to do something

:09:22. > :09:26.to give back. I really wanted to make a difference to people's lives.

:09:27. > :09:32.I looked at my past and my struggle as a kid, and as an adult really, in

:09:33. > :09:38.terms of making a success of myself. I thought, why don't I give a home

:09:39. > :09:42.away, why don't I pay the mortgage off? What difference would that make

:09:43. > :09:47.to someone's lives? If you look at people's lives these days in this

:09:48. > :09:50.country and all over the world, people are finding it really

:09:51. > :09:55.difficult to get a house in the first place. Saving up for a deposit

:09:56. > :09:58.is really tough. People only buy one house in their lifetime and a lot of

:09:59. > :10:04.people lose it. You come from a positive side of this is what I went

:10:05. > :10:08.through, I'm trying to change someone's perspective and give them

:10:09. > :10:12.a chance. One paper called it poverty pawn dressed up as altruism

:10:13. > :10:17.and they say it's exploitative. When you see that how does it make you

:10:18. > :10:24.feel? It's a bit sad because I don't think they've seen the show. I don't

:10:25. > :10:27.think they are in touch with reality. That wasn't the intention.

:10:28. > :10:32.When you see the show it doesn't come across that way at all. I've

:10:33. > :10:36.seen quite a few times. It's really amazing, because it's an emotional

:10:37. > :10:40.experience for me to actually go back to some of the memories in my

:10:41. > :10:43.life when I was homeless and struggling like crazy. It was

:10:44. > :10:47.amazing to me these people from different backgrounds that in

:10:48. > :10:53.today's world they are struggling more. With so many diverse

:10:54. > :10:58.circumstances. It was like, I spent so much time with these people when

:10:59. > :11:03.I was choosing who to give the house to. How does it feel being in that

:11:04. > :11:06.position where you are meeting many people from all different

:11:07. > :11:09.backgrounds, in very difficult circumstances, and you have to make

:11:10. > :11:19.a choice? It was an impossible decision. I wish I had 8000 houses

:11:20. > :11:22.together! The people that really deserved this, and I wanted to give

:11:23. > :11:26.it to someone who really deserved it in the sense of it wasn't their

:11:27. > :11:33.fault where they were, they needed a break. Because if we think about

:11:34. > :11:37.people's lives, no one has access to millionaires to mentor them through

:11:38. > :11:40.making money in life, or being successful. The process doesn't help

:11:41. > :11:44.people that way. If you think about going to school, you don't learn

:11:45. > :11:50.anything about money, investing in property, you don't learn anything

:11:51. > :11:53.about being successful in life. Having debt and struggling is one of

:11:54. > :11:57.the most arable things to deal with. I'm sure lots of teachers would

:11:58. > :12:02.argue they do teach them things that help them along that journey in

:12:03. > :12:08.different ways. So you had to choose, and talk to us about some of

:12:09. > :12:14.those stories that you are hearing. You were two when you are homeless.

:12:15. > :12:18.Yes. My mum had to leave my dad because we had so much debt. It's a

:12:19. > :12:23.long story but basically we had nowhere to go and she had to sleep

:12:24. > :12:28.on a park bench. It was snowing and I was two years old. She was going

:12:29. > :12:33.crazy. I was like, oh my God, why did you have to do that? When she

:12:34. > :12:37.told me this and I learned about it, I went through struggles with her.

:12:38. > :12:43.One of the drives for me was to make sure that she was OK. One of the

:12:44. > :12:47.inner drives was fighting for her. I didn't like school, I dropped out

:12:48. > :12:54.early. I went to so many different schools that it wasn't really a part

:12:55. > :12:56.of my life. My life was about fighting for something better. I

:12:57. > :13:02.know you're not going to tell us who you chose because we'll see that

:13:03. > :13:07.night on Channel 4 but how is that relationship now? Are they happy, I

:13:08. > :13:11.used to spending time with them? Totally amazing. It's made a huge

:13:12. > :13:15.difference to them, and it's made a huge difference to me. Thank you.

:13:16. > :13:18.Get a House for Free is on Channel 4 tonight at 9pm.

:13:19. > :13:21.That's it from us for this morning, we'll be back tomorrow from 6

:13:22. > :13:37.Now it's time for Animal Park Summer Special

:13:38. > :13:41.Now, call me old-fashioned but I thought monogamy meant
