Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Naga Munchetty. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
President Trump warns North Korea it will face an unprecedented response | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
As Pyongyang says it's considering a missile strike close | :00:14. | :00:19. | |
to an American military base, tensions between the two countries | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States. They | :00:23. | :00:39. | |
will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen. | :00:40. | :00:51. | |
Good morning, it's Wednesday, August 9th. | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
An extra 500 medical school places in England are confirmed. | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
The government calls it the biggest ever expansion of the NHS workforce | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
but unions say it doesn't address the immediate shortage. | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
It's been ten years to the day since the start | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
That's when banks started to realise they had bet that couldn't afford to | :01:11. | :01:20. | |
be paid back. have been learned and whether it | :01:21. | :01:21. | |
could happen again. Anger at the Athletics | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
World Championships, after one of the favourites to win | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
the 400 metres is told he can't compete following an | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
outbreak of norovirus. Yes, the fallout from the virus | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
really overshadowed the 400 metres final last night. The runner didn't | :01:39. | :01:46. | |
feature and in his absence Wayde van Niekerk cruised to victory to retain | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
his title. Country star Glen Campbell has died | :01:49. | :01:56. | |
at the age of 81. Good morning. We have a wet start in | :01:57. | :02:11. | |
England and Wales and through the day the showers pushing in the | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
direction of the south-east. Heavy and thundery. Some issues with | :02:16. | :02:23. | |
fluttering -- flooding. In the sunshine it will feel pleasant. More | :02:24. | :02:24. | |
in 15 minutes. Thank you. Tensions between the US | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
and North Korea have President Trump has warned | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
Kim Jong-un that if he continues to threaten America, | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
he would be met, in Mr Trump's North Korea says it considers | :02:36. | :02:48. | |
carrying out missile strikes on an American island in the Pacific. This | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
report from Washington. North Korea best not make any more | :02:52. | :02:59. | |
threats to the United States. They will be met with fire and fury like | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
the world has never seen. Unprecedented language from an | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
American president. Donald Trump officially escalated the US | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
stand-off with North Korea from his perch on a walking vacation at his | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
golf course in New Jersey -- working. The trigger, a report | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
saying Pyongyang had produced a nuclear warhead small enough to fit | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
inside its missiles. That much closer to the capability of striking | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
the US. The president's angered response could draw range in the | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
hopes of the dramatic solution. After a rare decision by the UN to | :03:40. | :03:48. | |
slap sanctions on the regime. North Korea news is Kim Jong-un already | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
has a plan to strike the US Pacific territory of Guam, which appears to | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
have been put on place before Trump's remarks. President Trump | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
often we decide his predecessor Barack Obama for not sticking to his | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
red lines on foreign policy when he was in the White House. But now Mr | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
Trump has drawn a breadline with harsh new rhetoric. -- red line. The | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
question is, what happens if North Korea crosses it? | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
500 new medical school places will be made available in England | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
next year, as the government attempts to boost the number | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
The target is to increase the total number of training places by a x 20 | :04:22. | :04:33. | |
20 to help ease staffing pressures. The British Medical Association says | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
it won't address the immediate shortage. | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
The government has given more detail today on what it says | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
will be the biggest ever expantion of the medical workforce in England. | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
What we're doing is ensuring that we train enough home-grown | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
doctors so the NHS becomes self-sufficient in doctors over | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
the period of the next ten years or so. | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
And we think that that's the best way to ensure | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
that we have the doctors we need for the future. | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
Next year, an extra 500 medical school places | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
By 2020, that number will grow to 1500, reprsenting a 25% increase | :05:07. | :05:14. | |
And medical schools will have to win many of those extra places | :05:15. | :05:21. | |
by showing that they can get graduates to work in rural | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
or coastal areas, where recruitment's more of a struggle, | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
and by bringing in trainees from diverse and disadvantaged | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
We welcome the government's approach, looking at how they can | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
get more people from poorer backgrounds to study medicine. | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
It is something which the BMA has been talking about for many years | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
but there are lots of questions about how these medical school | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
places are going to be funded and how the government | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
is going to tackle the immediate recruitment and retention crisis | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
This is all part of wider plans to create thousands more training | :05:52. | :05:59. | |
places for nurses, midwives and health professionals. | :06:00. | :06:01. | |
The Labour Party says it does not add up to any | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
But, ultimately, it will be patients who decide whether this extra dose | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
of doctors proves to be an effective medicine. | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
We'll be speaking to a health minister about those | :06:11. | :06:21. | |
You know when they say time flies? It really does. | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
It's exactly ten years today since what many consider to be | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
Steph, you loved it, didn't you? Yes, there is good that comes with | :06:30. | :06:40. | |
bad. It was good for my career but not for the rest of the world. | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
It gave us a real insight into the financial industry. You remember 11- | :06:45. | :06:52. | |
13 years ago it was hard to make this interesting for people and then | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
on this day ten years ago the banks started to realise they were | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
hoarding lots of toxic debt, debt that people had taken out and | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
couldn't be paid back. A lot of it was linked to house sales in | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
America, so people who were overborrowing essentially and | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
realised they couldn't afford to pay it out and it had been dressed up in | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
so many different ways by the banks and sold on to other banks. No one | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
had a clue what these things were worth and that was the critical | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
point. Ten years ago this French bank pulled out a statement saying | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
they didn't know what some of their assets were worth. That sent jitters | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
around the world. In the weeks and months following that all of the | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
banks started to realise that they too had things they didn't really | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
know what were worth, so we had massive banks like Northern Rock, | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
they had a run on the bank, it ended up leaving the high street and we | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
saw the collapse of Leeman Brothers, another huge bank in America. So it | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
really changed the way banking was done and it meant is in an new rules | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
have come out about how much banks have to hold in order to actually | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
function as a bank and we've seen banks being looked at in terms of | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
separating the whiskey site compared to the high street. | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
They basically have to behave. Yes and we have seen interest rates | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
cut, so that's been the biggest thing, the fact that we saw interest | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
rates go from about 6% down to 0.25% and nobody thought they would still | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
be that low. We will be talking about the | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
morning. A decade since the credit crunch. Thanks. | :08:30. | :08:31. | |
Children's services are being "pushed to breaking point" due | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
to increased demand and cuts in council budgets, according | :08:35. | :08:36. | |
The LGA says three-quarters of English councils overspent | :08:37. | :08:50. | |
on child social care by a total of more than | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
A government spokesman said councils would receive around ?200 billion | :08:54. | :09:01. | |
for local services up to 2020. The LGA says it's not enough. | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
Kenya's incumbent President Uhuru Kenyatta has taken a strong lead | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
as votes are counted after Tuesday's election. | :09:08. | :09:09. | |
With three quarters of results in, Mr Kenyatta has a lead | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
of close to ten % over his rival. | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
However, the opposition coalition has rejected the figures, | :09:15. | :09:16. | |
and has accused officials of publishing fake results. | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
Five men facing criminal charges over the Hillsborough disaster | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
Three of them are accused of trying to cover up what happened in 1989. | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
The police match commander on the day, former chief | :09:29. | :09:30. | |
superintendent David Duckenfield, won't be in the dock. | :09:31. | :09:32. | |
Our reporter Ben Schofield has more on this. | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
Ben, why is David Duckenfield not going to be in court? | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
It is about one month since the Crown Prosecution Service said they | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
wanted to charge six men with various different offences relating | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
to Hillsborough. David Duckenfield faces the most serious charges. 95 | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
individual councils manslaughter. But prosecutors need to apply to the | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
High Court to lift a court order banning him from being prosecuted | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
before they can take that case forward. The remaining five include | :10:05. | :10:11. | |
the secretary and safety officer from Sheffield Wednesday football | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
club at the time of the disaster. He and David Duckenfield were the only | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
two who face charges relating to be fatal crushing itself. Three men as | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
you say face charges of perverting the course of justice. They are two | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
police officers from South Yorkshire Police and a lawyer, who was | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
providing advice to the police force. And the fifth man we are | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
expecting is Sir Norman Peterson, a former chief Constable who ran both | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
Merseyside and west York police forces. -- Sir Norman George | :10:42. | :10:51. | |
Bettison. It is expected to be a brief hearing, but nevertheless a | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
significant step as these cases progress, some 28 years after the | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
disaster. More coverage on the Rapid Bay. Thank you. | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
Athletics chiefs have been criticised for denying a medal | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
favourite entry to the London Stadium amid concerns over | :11:06. | :11:07. | |
Around 30 athletes and support staff have been affected by sickness | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
at the World Championships, but only Botswana's Isaac Makwala | :11:13. | :11:14. | |
has been prevented from competing, as Andy Swiss reports. | :11:15. | :11:24. | |
As Wayde van Niekerk charged to the 400 metres title, the first gold of | :11:25. | :11:33. | |
a potential double at these championships, much of the focus was | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
still on his absent challenger. Isaac Makwala was told he couldn't | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
compete after his sickness because organisers had to protect the | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
welfare of the athletes. At the team from Botswana were left frustrated. | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
We respect the decision if it is based on public health issues, | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
however, it is the manner in which this decision was arrived at which | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
is quite disturbing and as we have indicated this matter has been | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
approached in Britain grabs. We feel very sorry for the athletes that | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
have to not participate but we have a responsibility for all of the | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
athletes and if we allowed them all to sit down, it's a tight community, | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
we need to make sure that all of the athletes are protected as well. | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
Meanwhile, Britain's medal near misses continue, despite the | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
performance of Karl Langford. Ron is just eluding him in the 800 metres | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
by an agonising four hundredths of a second. And among today's highlights | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
is the return of Mo Farah, as he goes in the heats of the 5000 | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
metres. He is still the British team's only medallist here and it is | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
now halfway through the championships. | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
Tributes have been paid to the American country music star | :12:46. | :12:47. | |
Glen Campbell, who's died after what his family called a "long | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
and courageous battle" with Alzheimer's. | :12:51. | :12:52. | |
Dolly Parton said he had "one of the greatest voices of all time". | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
He was famous for hits including Rhinestone Cowboy and Wichita | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
Our arts correspondent David Sillito looks back on his life. | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
Wichita Lineman, it's wide open spaces, yearning, | :13:05. | :13:13. | |
loneliness, America turned into song. | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
But what truly made it a masterpiece was the voice of Glen Campbell. | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
# I hear you singing in the wires...# | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
He had been born in Billstown Arkansas, a large poor | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
His escape was his Uncle Boo, who taught him to play guitar. | :13:31. | :13:41. | |
and on hundreds of singles with the session | :13:42. | :13:54. | |
musicians the Wrecking Crew, Phil Spector, the Righteous | :13:55. | :13:56. | |
Brothers, Frank Sinatra, it was Glenn Campbell on guitar. | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
And eventually... A breakthrough hit of his own. | :14:00. | :14:01. | |
But it was the partnership with songwriter Jimmy Webb that | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
gave him his career-defining songs By The Time | :14:07. | :14:08. | |
Clean cut, Conservative, he was suddenly | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
country music's biggest star, with his own TV show. | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
# But I'm going to be where the lights | :14:17. | :14:25. | |
Rhinestone Cowboy was a glorious return to form after a dip | :14:26. | :14:32. | |
in his fortunes that had taken place in the '70s. | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
But his personal life was far from glorious. | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
I think I probably just quit letting God run | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
my life and I actually just got into the drugs and the booze pretty | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
# I am a lineman for the county, and I...# | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
That slight stumble over the words, it was | :14:51. | :14:58. | |
He'd long put his wild days behind him, but | :14:59. | :15:07. | |
What stayed with him when so much else had gone | :15:08. | :15:15. | |
It doesn't look too nice, please tell me that's going to change? This | :15:16. | :15:38. | |
is one of our pictures from yesterday. It is a cracking photo of | :15:39. | :15:57. | |
some tornadoes and over the water, cold waterspouts. We will see these | :15:58. | :16:04. | |
systems pushing down into the south-east, some heavy and Bunbury | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
rain and showers over the south-east. Other areas starting off | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
on a dry note, brightening up, but don't be fooled. A dry start for | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland, also northern England, bits and pieces of | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
cloud around. Coming across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, threw -- | :16:22. | :16:28. | |
through the Midlands, this is where we've got some rain. Some showers in | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
Wales and cloud, pushing in from the far side of East Anglia and Kent, a | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
cloudy start but starting to brighten up. Through the course of | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
the day, that will change. Expecting heavy downpours across east Anglia | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
and south-east England. Some disruption because of this, and | :16:48. | :16:54. | |
there could be some surface water flooding issues. Keep tuned to your | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
television and radio station. Through the day, rain sinks out. | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
Temperatures rising, some home-grown showers in the south-east. That, | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
nation is causing downpours. Expect some fonder. Behind that, across the | :17:07. | :17:13. | |
Midlands and through parts of Yorkshire, Wales, brightening up. | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
South-west England as well, a bit of sunshine. Sunshine further north. 21 | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
and light breezes in Glasgow, feeling quite pleasant. Under the | :17:25. | :17:31. | |
cloud and rain, quite pleasant. Some of us will see low double figures. | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
Overnight, rain around in the south-east corner. It is fragmenting | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
and starting to weaken. A lot of dry weather around. Some late showers, | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
some mist and fog patches as well. Cloud thickening across the far | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
North of Scotland. Some spots of rain. You can see why. This weather | :17:51. | :17:57. | |
fronts not too far away. Tomorrow, high-pressure exceeding its | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
influence. For many of us, a dry day with a lot of sunshine. Eventually | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
we lose the dregs of rain from the south-east, cloud vicar from the | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
north of Scotland. The low pressure with that front is starting to | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
arrive. Temperatures lower in Glasgow, quite different in the | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
south-east. High temperatures and dry. A bit of a change afoot. Look | :18:20. | :18:31. | |
at that little guilty smile! It's fine. See you later. | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
Time for a look at the papers. The Guardian, covering Sir Glenn | :18:38. | :18:47. | |
Campbell, who died at the age of 81. Tributes pouring in. | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
Donald Trump, warning of fire and fury, reacting to North Korea's | :18:51. | :19:09. | |
military threats. The main headline again, there is no picture at this | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
story is appearing in a lot of papers about this jogger, who pushed | :19:16. | :19:35. | |
a woman into the path of a bus. The woman tried to speak to him when he | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
came back, but he apparently ignored her and jogged on. Not a very nice | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
person at all. The Daily Mail leading with a story saying that | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
migrants have made 30,000 attempts to reach Britain and Calais this | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
year, despite costly security measures. And the Daily Telegraph, | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
Glenn Campbell again. A very impressive photo on the front of the | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
Telegraph. He died at the age of 81. We will be reflecting on this | :20:07. | :20:15. | |
morning. And ten years since the start of the global financial | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
crisis. Interestingly, the stock market is hitting record highs at | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
the moment. We will be talking more about that in half an hour. This is | :20:24. | :20:31. | |
a really interesting story about a scam from people imitating Royal | :20:32. | :20:38. | |
Mail. People are getting cards through the post, not official Royal | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
Mail cards, but when you ring the phone number you get charged 45 | :20:45. | :20:52. | |
quid. It is a bit of a shocker. They are warning about that, saying don't | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
ring that number. There is an official Royal Mail information | :20:56. | :21:05. | |
number. Also, when you go to the cinema, you have to think about when | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
you are going to go to the loo, time it correctly. Someone has developed | :21:10. | :21:20. | |
an app that will tell you when the boring bits of the movie are on so | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
you can go to the toilet. It also gives you a summary, so that when | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
you go to the toilet, you haven't missed anything. That is quite | :21:29. | :21:40. | |
clever! Surely you could just go before the film starts. I don't | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
think I have ever born in a movie, not even in Lord of the Rings. | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
Ladder of steel. -- Bladder. North Korea says it's | :21:50. | :21:57. | |
considering carrying out a ballistic missile strike on the US territory | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
of Guam in the Western Pacific. Earlier, President Trump declared | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
that any further threats from Pyongyang would be met, | :22:05. | :22:06. | |
as he put it, with fire, Let's talk to Niall Stanage, | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
White House columnist for the US political website The Hill, | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
based in Washington DC. Could you tell us what you make of | :22:14. | :22:20. | |
Donald Trump's reaction? Strong words, he's not messing about. No, | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
he's not, he is clearly escalating the rhetoric and at the same time, | :22:26. | :22:33. | |
risking escalating this crisis. We saw President Trump appearing to | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
read from notes as he delivered the words you have recited, but I know | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
from my own sources that there are people in the administration who | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
think his approach can be a fact did. They see the real audience for | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
these remarks as being China, basically warning China of | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
instability if it does not bring North Korea, its ally, into line. It | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
is a gamble if that strategy will work, and the dangers of losing that | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
gamble could be catastrophic. China has said that it is 100% committed | :23:07. | :23:13. | |
to enforcing the latest round of sanctions enforced by the UN. I | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
wonder who this message is really to? There are reports of falling | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
popularity, is he as setting himself? There are also questions | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
about whether or not he is in a position where they are ready to | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
meet this with fire and fury? The last point you've raised is | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
particularly important. The idea that you cannot make threats if you | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
are not prepared to follow them through, as people sometimes say in | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
this part of the world, you shouldn't pull it done during a | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
fight unless you are prepared to pull the trigger --a gun. It is not | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
clear what military action Donald Trump could take in this case. He | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
has even received criticism from some Republicans, including Senator | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
John McCain. He talked about precisely this point, the idea that | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
other great leaders that he has seen have not threatened to do things | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
unless they are in a position to act. And in John McCain's opinion, | :24:19. | :24:26. | |
President Trump is not in a position to act right now. Thank you for your | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
time. What really drives you around the | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
bend... We haven't got time, Dan! From people who don't say thank | :24:36. | :24:42. | |
you or ignore you in favour of their mobile phones | :24:43. | :24:45. | |
to inconsiderate drivers and queue jumpers, comedian Danny Wallace | :24:46. | :24:48. | |
believes rudeness is getting worse. He'll be on our sofa | :24:49. | :24:50. | |
later on this morning. But first, we've been chatting | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
to people in Manchester about what sort of rude | :24:54. | :24:55. | |
behaviour drives them mad. What do you think is rude? What | :24:56. | :25:08. | |
rivals you? Language. Strong language in public. I was in my shop | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
this morning. The person in front of me was obviously in a rush, and he | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
made a loud sound. He was really rude. Sometimes I let it go. What | :25:20. | :25:27. | |
makes the difference? It depends how big they are. It annoys me when | :25:28. | :25:35. | |
people interrupted. When people put their feet on the seat. When people | :25:36. | :25:42. | |
don't text back. When they don't write back at all, or they write a | :25:43. | :25:49. | |
short message, like K. Bad driving. In what way? Cutting you off and | :25:50. | :25:58. | |
stuff like that. When you are in the supermarket queue and the assistants | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
are dealing with each other instead of dealing with you. Do you find the | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
general members of the public really rude? They are generally all right! | :26:07. | :26:17. | |
There are some very good points made there. Joanne says one of her pet | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
peeve is queue jumping, it dries her insane. In Britain, you don't tend | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
to tell people that they have jumped in front. Used you in your pot, | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
rather than saying, hang on, get to the back of the queue. I do both, I | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
stew and tell. Martin says cars at a zebra crossing | :26:38. | :26:51. | |
have repeatedly ignored him, they drove on by. Amy says her main gripe | :26:52. | :26:58. | |
is feet on seats on a train, and also bags on seats when you know | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
someone is trying to sit there. Look at the fury. Your rucksack is in my | :27:04. | :27:20. | |
seat, that is the answer. I can see you will be | :27:21. | :30:40. | |
I'm back with the latest from BBC London news in half an hour. | :30:41. | :30:44. | |
Plenty more on our website at the usual address. | :30:45. | :30:48. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast with Dan Walker and Naga Munchetty. | :30:49. | :30:52. | |
The latest news and sport is coming up. | :30:53. | :30:56. | |
Ten years on from the start of the Global Financial Crisis, | :30:57. | :31:02. | |
we'll look back at how it all began and ask if it | :31:03. | :31:05. | |
We'll also hear how the stunning natural beauty of Skye is attracting | :31:06. | :31:12. | |
Now the island is struggling to cope. | :31:13. | :31:27. | |
And we'll reflect on the life of the original Rhinestone Cowboy, | :31:28. | :31:34. | |
the legendary country music star Glen Campbell, | :31:35. | :31:35. | |
But now a summary of this morning's main news. | :31:36. | :31:40. | |
Tensions between the US and North Korea have reached | :31:41. | :31:42. | |
North Korea has said it is considering carrying out | :31:43. | :31:45. | |
missile strikes on the US Pacific territory of Guam. | :31:46. | :31:48. | |
The report in state media, quoting an earlier military | :31:49. | :31:50. | |
statement, came hours after President Donald Trump | :31:51. | :31:52. | |
threatened North Korea with "fire and fury". | :31:53. | :31:54. | |
The exchanges mark a sharp rise in rhetoric between the two countries. | :31:55. | :31:59. | |
North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States. | :32:00. | :32:11. | |
They will be met with fire and fury like | :32:12. | :32:14. | |
He has been very threatening, eon the normal state, and as I say they | :32:15. | :32:25. | |
will be met with fire, Furia and frankly power the likes of which | :32:26. | :32:30. | |
this world has never seen before. -- fury. | :32:31. | :32:31. | |
The NHS is aiming to bring about the biggest ever expansion | :32:32. | :32:34. | |
to it's medical workforce in England, after health officials | :32:35. | :32:36. | |
confirmed plans to increase training positions for doctors | :32:37. | :32:38. | |
The Department of Health has confirmed that an extra 1,500 | :32:39. | :32:48. | |
doctors a year will be trained by 2020, | :32:49. | :32:50. | |
The move aims to increase the amount of home-grown doctors and reduce | :32:51. | :32:55. | |
how much is spent on agency and locum doctors. | :32:56. | :33:00. | |
It's exactly ten years today since the start | :33:01. | :33:02. | |
It started with a warning from French bank BNP Paribas | :33:03. | :33:06. | |
about US housing loans and ended with a global credit | :33:07. | :33:09. | |
crunch, as governments around the world propped up banks | :33:10. | :33:12. | |
Here, banks including Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds TSB had to be | :33:13. | :33:22. | |
rescued with billions in taxpayers' money. | :33:23. | :33:24. | |
Children's services are being pushed to breaking point, due to increased | :33:25. | :33:27. | |
demand and cuts in council budgets, according | :33:28. | :33:29. | |
It says three quarters of English councils overspent on child social | :33:30. | :33:37. | |
care I about half ?1 billion last year. | :33:38. | :33:38. | |
A government spokesman said councils would receive around 200-billion | :33:39. | :33:41. | |
pounds for local services up to 2020. | :33:42. | :33:43. | |
Councils are facing a double whammy. A big cut in government grants and a | :33:44. | :33:54. | |
big increase in the number of children who need those services and | :33:55. | :33:59. | |
so we are saying there will be a ?2 billion gap by the end of this | :34:00. | :34:02. | |
decade in the amount of money councils need compared to the amount | :34:03. | :34:05. | |
of money councils have got. That will lead to big problems in making | :34:06. | :34:09. | |
sure we can keep children safe on the way the members of the public | :34:10. | :34:11. | |
would expect us to. Tributes are being paid to one | :34:12. | :34:12. | |
of the most successful American singers, Glen Campbell, | :34:13. | :34:15. | |
who's died six years after revealing As a session musician, | :34:16. | :34:18. | |
Glen Campbell played on hundreds of recordings before his career | :34:19. | :34:39. | |
as a singer took off. He was best known for hits including | :34:40. | :34:42. | |
Rhinestone Cowboy and Wichita Dolly Parton said he had "one | :34:43. | :34:45. | |
of the greatest voices Yes, lovely tribute this morning and | :34:46. | :34:53. | |
many pictures of Glen Campbell on the front pages of many of the | :34:54. | :34:57. | |
papers and also on the back pages lots of talk about the World | :34:58. | :35:00. | |
Championship athletics. We can cross to London stadium. Jessica is there. | :35:01. | :35:06. | |
The hind you is the podium and one of the men who could have been on | :35:07. | :35:11. | |
their yesterday, the big stories he wasn't to race at all. | :35:12. | :35:12. | |
Exactly. A fascinating day yesterday. That's exactly why I am | :35:13. | :35:20. | |
at the podium. Wayde van Niekerk will receive his medal for the 400 | :35:21. | :35:25. | |
metres the night before the start of the evening, but you have to ask, | :35:26. | :35:30. | |
like you say, what could have been had Isaac Makwala actually been in | :35:31. | :35:34. | |
the race? Yesterday these championships were dominated by | :35:35. | :35:37. | |
debate and discussion about whether the Botswana athlete should be | :35:38. | :35:41. | |
allowed to compete in the 400 metres. As you've all been hearing | :35:42. | :35:45. | |
this morning on Breakfast, he wasn't allowed to take part, despite | :35:46. | :35:50. | |
arriving at the stadium ahead of the race. Isaac Makwala was affected by | :35:51. | :35:55. | |
a stomach bug and withdrawn from the race by the IAAF. Public Health | :35:56. | :35:59. | |
England guidelines recommended people with that illness should be | :36:00. | :36:01. | |
quarantined for 48 hours. Makwala was believed to have been | :36:02. | :36:05. | |
one of the athletes who could have mounted a serious challenge in | :36:06. | :36:09. | |
the race to South Africa's Wayde Van But in his absence, the Olympic | :36:10. | :36:12. | |
champion and world record holder came through to comfortably take | :36:13. | :36:15. | |
Gold and retain his title. And Van Niekerk had | :36:16. | :36:18. | |
sympathy for his rival. It is quite disappointing. I would | :36:19. | :36:27. | |
love him to have his fair opportunity. He was in great form. I | :36:28. | :36:33. | |
believe it would have -- he would have done very well this | :36:34. | :36:35. | |
championships and, like I said earlier, I've got so much sympathy | :36:36. | :36:39. | |
for him. I really wish I could even give him his medal. | :36:40. | :36:45. | |
British team captain Eilidh Doyle will have the chance to win a medal. | :36:46. | :36:49. | |
She qualified for Thursday's 400 metre hurdles final as one | :36:50. | :36:51. | |
of the fastest losers after finishing third in her semi | :36:52. | :36:55. | |
And it was a good night for Dina Asher-Smith in the stadium | :36:56. | :37:00. | |
where she was a kit bag holder at the 2012 Olympics. | :37:01. | :37:03. | |
She qualified for the semi-finals of the 200 metres in | :37:04. | :37:06. | |
She's had a difficult year fitness wise after breaking her | :37:07. | :37:10. | |
Bianca Williams also made the semi finals. | :37:11. | :37:16. | |
Let's bring you up to date with the rest of the sport. | :37:17. | :37:20. | |
Manchester United were beaten 2-1 by European champions | :37:21. | :37:22. | |
Real Madrid in last night's Super Cup. | :37:23. | :37:24. | |
Real took a deserved 2-0 lead early into the second half | :37:25. | :37:27. | |
and, although Romelu Lukaku pulled a goal back for United, | :37:28. | :37:29. | |
they couldn't stop the Spanish side lifting the Super Cup for a fourth | :37:30. | :37:33. | |
Sometimes when I win I don't keep the medals. So imagine when I lose! | :37:34. | :37:47. | |
You know? For me, the medal would go to some place in my house and for | :37:48. | :37:54. | |
that kid it is the moon. For that kid it is for sure something that | :37:55. | :37:56. | |
will keep and remember. The Women's Rugby World Cup gets | :37:57. | :37:58. | |
under way in Ireland today. Defending champions England will be | :37:59. | :38:01. | |
hoping for a win against Spain in their opening fixture, | :38:02. | :38:06. | |
the hosts take on Australia while Wales face a tough task | :38:07. | :38:10. | |
against New Zealand. To start the World Cup against New | :38:11. | :38:19. | |
Zealand is bubbly the best position we can key in the showcase | :38:20. | :38:25. | |
ourselves. They are the second best in the world, but as you've seen | :38:26. | :38:29. | |
recently they have been beaten. They were beaten in last World Cup I | :38:30. | :38:34. | |
Island. Citing the prep we've put in and the buildup we've had coming up | :38:35. | :38:38. | |
to this World Cup, we are really cool place. | :38:39. | :38:41. | |
Now of course the athletes here at the Championships have been | :38:42. | :38:50. | |
taking centre stage, but there's someone who's been | :38:51. | :38:52. | |
Hero the Hedgehog, the official mascot here, | :38:53. | :38:56. | |
has been causing a bit of a stir with his antics. | :38:57. | :38:59. | |
He's been keeping the crowds entertained during the sessions | :39:00. | :39:01. | |
and he seems to fancy himself as a bit of an athlete. | :39:02. | :39:06. | |
I think he's got a bit of work to do around his hurdles technique, | :39:07. | :39:09. | |
Did you see this last night? I think everyone was covering their eyes | :39:10. | :39:24. | |
with their hands! Marks for artistic effort. Thank you | :39:25. | :39:29. | |
very much. We will be there later and we will also speak to Kyle | :39:30. | :39:35. | |
Langford and others as well. We've been talking about how close the | :39:36. | :39:38. | |
margins have been for Great Britain's athletes, just missing out | :39:39. | :39:42. | |
on the podium. But they are trying their best. | :39:43. | :39:50. | |
I think six to eight medals was the plan and currently we are at one. | :39:51. | :39:55. | |
You heard Jessica talk about Isaac Makwala, who wasn't allowed to | :39:56. | :39:59. | |
compete in the 400 metres final after a suspected outbreak of Nora | :40:00. | :40:02. | |
virus. Let's discuss this with Graeme Close | :40:03. | :40:05. | |
who's a sport nutrition specialist You can understand athletes' anger | :40:06. | :40:15. | |
over this and frustration, because they train to do their best to get a | :40:16. | :40:21. | |
place on the podium. But why has this caused so much controversy when | :40:22. | :40:24. | |
basically the medics think to be following the advice of Public | :40:25. | :40:28. | |
Health England? Exactly, people are trained for four years for this one | :40:29. | :40:32. | |
event and then it is taken away. But what we can't take our mind away | :40:33. | :40:37. | |
from is the Nora virus is one of the most contagious viruses and it's not | :40:38. | :40:40. | |
just a problem for the virus, but it's a public health issue -- | :40:41. | :40:47. | |
norovirus. These people are on a -- in a packed stadium. You've got to | :40:48. | :40:51. | |
respect the decision of the medics who have done it in the interests of | :40:52. | :40:57. | |
everybody. Explain medically, it can spread quickly, can't it? It is | :40:58. | :41:00. | |
commonly known as the winter vomiting bug. I am sure many people | :41:01. | :41:06. | |
have had it. It is why if you do get it you are advised not to go to the | :41:07. | :41:10. | |
GP, because you don't want to spread it. Within the elite sports I work | :41:11. | :41:14. | |
with we do quarantine our athletes ourselves if we get somebody like | :41:15. | :41:17. | |
that, just to make sure it doesn't spread. Because it is mainly spread | :41:18. | :41:22. | |
by hand to mouth contact which athletes do a of. But also being in | :41:23. | :41:27. | |
close proximity to people. So it's not necessarily airborne, but water | :41:28. | :41:34. | |
particles, if you are in close box and key. So if you are actively | :41:35. | :41:39. | |
still ill it can be a really nasty bug to spread quickly. How long are | :41:40. | :41:43. | |
you in quarantine for? We would typically quarantine people for 24- | :41:44. | :41:48. | |
48 hours after the symptoms cease. That's a key thing to separate them | :41:49. | :41:55. | |
and give it time to go away. What we do know is how will you will | :41:56. | :41:59. | |
actually still be infecting people once the symptoms have gone. So at | :42:00. | :42:03. | |
that point we really need to increase our hygiene standards. | :42:04. | :42:07. | |
Interesting that from Isaac Makwala's perspective, to his mind | :42:08. | :42:13. | |
and for the team he was ready to race and then you've got the | :42:14. | :42:16. | |
pictures of him being turned away and told, no, you can't come in | :42:17. | :42:21. | |
here. We had a genuine chance for the gold medal. I think that's what | :42:22. | :42:24. | |
has brought into public perception. Absolutely. As I keep saying, it's a | :42:25. | :42:30. | |
public health issue and I think what the IAAF have done is taken advice | :42:31. | :42:34. | |
from Public Health England, where the advice was to quarantine 48 | :42:35. | :42:41. | |
hours following the symptoms. You've got to remember, this comes from | :42:42. | :42:45. | |
faecal to mouth contact. Research suggests that up to 60% off men and | :42:46. | :42:50. | |
40% of girls don't wash their hands after going to the toilet and of | :42:51. | :42:55. | |
them who do only 5% wash their hands properly. With soap and water, | :42:56. | :43:00. | |
vigorously. It's not hard to see how this spread quickly. We all rely on | :43:01. | :43:05. | |
this hand sanitisers and gels and they aren't really that effective. | :43:06. | :43:08. | |
So they don't kill something like norovirus? No. Soap and water, 15 | :43:09. | :43:15. | |
seconds vigorously and a good try at the end. Not the old robber John | :43:16. | :43:20. | |
Hillcoat and off we go. And a lot of sports teams, is something like this | :43:21. | :43:29. | |
has happened, then we go to and -- a no handshake policy. Knuckles? You | :43:30. | :43:35. | |
might try the odd fist pump, if you are young and trendy like me. But | :43:36. | :43:39. | |
then we want to try to stop that spreading and quarantine is | :43:40. | :43:42. | |
definitely the best way to do it. It's just really unfortunate that we | :43:43. | :43:46. | |
train for four years your chance of a medal is taken away so cruelly, | :43:47. | :43:50. | |
but probably rightly. You wash your hands well, don't you? | :43:51. | :43:57. | |
Lovely having you on the show. The remainder when Robbie Williams | :43:58. | :44:01. | |
got in all sorts of trouble on New Year's Eve when he went through the | :44:02. | :44:04. | |
crowds and shook the hands of people, on BBC, and then he was seen | :44:05. | :44:08. | |
on camera putting hand sanitiser on before he went to carry on. | :44:09. | :44:11. | |
Sensible! It is hard not to win in that | :44:12. | :44:16. | |
circumstance. That's exactly what we would advise | :44:17. | :44:21. | |
elite athletes to do. They are compromised with their immunity | :44:22. | :44:23. | |
anyway when they are training hard. So we've got to do everything we can | :44:24. | :44:27. | |
to close that window. Thank you very much. Let us know | :44:28. | :44:31. | |
what is it about that. I'm off to wash my hands! Good morning. This | :44:32. | :44:38. | |
morning in the north of your country there's a lot of sunshine around. In | :44:39. | :44:42. | |
the south it different story. Some heavy rain around. It has fallen | :44:43. | :44:48. | |
through the night. Yesterday we had large rainfall totals. You can sit | :44:49. | :44:53. | |
in many parts of England, Wales and the Channel Islands, but not the | :44:54. | :44:57. | |
south-east. It will brighten up temporarily. This weather front is | :44:58. | :45:01. | |
sinking south-eastwards and as temperatures rise the showers will | :45:02. | :45:04. | |
develop. Some of those will be heavy. High pressure in charge of | :45:05. | :45:10. | |
the rest of the UK, keeping things fine and settled. This is the rain | :45:11. | :45:13. | |
sinking south. Cloud for England and Wales. Into Scotland and Northern | :45:14. | :45:19. | |
Ireland we have a fine start to the day, with some sunshine. Sunshine | :45:20. | :45:23. | |
across north-west England. Heading into Yorkshire and Lincolnshire and | :45:24. | :45:27. | |
towards Manchester, the Midlands, down towards the south-west, that's | :45:28. | :45:31. | |
where we've got the weather front and our aim. Cloud in Wales with a | :45:32. | :45:35. | |
few showers. The head of it we have a largely dry start -- ahead of it. | :45:36. | :45:41. | |
But we will have sunshine develop and break through the cloud of | :45:42. | :45:44. | |
through the morning, but it won't last. The rainfall moves southwards | :45:45. | :45:48. | |
and we have further showers developing. The two merge and we | :45:49. | :45:53. | |
have heavy and thundery downpours. It will brighten up in south-west | :45:54. | :45:57. | |
England, Wales, northern England and we hang on the sunshine across | :45:58. | :46:01. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland. A light breeze. 21 in Glasgow, 19 in | :46:02. | :46:07. | |
Belfast. If you're stuck under the cloud and rain some of us won't even | :46:08. | :46:11. | |
get into high double figures. London about 18. That's pretty | :46:12. | :46:15. | |
disappointing for the time of year. We are looking at heavy rain and | :46:16. | :46:20. | |
showers urging for east Anglia and south-east England. That could lead | :46:21. | :46:25. | |
to issues later in the day, with surface water flooding. So be aware | :46:26. | :46:29. | |
of it. Overnight this is the weather front continuing to drift to the | :46:30. | :46:32. | |
south-eastern corner. Fragmenting as it does so. Behind it a lot of dry | :46:33. | :46:38. | |
weather, cloud thickening in the north of Scotland and not especially | :46:39. | :46:43. | |
cold. Cooler in rural areas. Where we have late rain there could be | :46:44. | :46:47. | |
mist and fog forming. Tomorrow we lose the front through the day. | :46:48. | :46:51. | |
High-pressure establishes itself temporarily and then we've got this | :46:52. | :46:54. | |
set of fronts coming across the north of Scotland, which will | :46:55. | :46:57. | |
introduce bigger cloud and eventually we have rain. The rain in | :46:58. | :47:01. | |
the south-east clears away and turns more showery and then we have a fine | :47:02. | :47:06. | |
and dry day for most of the UK, with some sunshine. After all the | :47:07. | :47:11. | |
sunshine in the north today there will be more cloud tomorrow and | :47:12. | :47:14. | |
after the rain in England and Wales yesterday and today we have a dry | :47:15. | :47:18. | |
day with sunshine and higher temperatures. | :47:19. | :47:26. | |
We love a bit of old money every now and then. | :47:27. | :47:30. | |
It's ten years to the day since a key event that most experts | :47:31. | :47:33. | |
think marked the start of the global financial crisis. | :47:34. | :47:36. | |
Steph's taking a look at what lessons have been learned | :47:37. | :47:38. | |
Yes, it's a birthday that many would like to forget. | :47:39. | :47:51. | |
On 9 August, 2007, the French bank BNP Paribas stopped investors taking | :47:52. | :47:54. | |
US banks had been giving out high-risk loans to people | :47:55. | :47:59. | |
They were packaged up into complex products and sold to investors | :48:00. | :48:03. | |
When the economy took a downturn, banks were unsure how many bad loans | :48:04. | :48:12. | |
could be on their rivals' books and stopped lending to them. | :48:13. | :48:16. | |
Here in the UK, Bradford Bingley and Northern Rock had to be rescued. | :48:17. | :48:24. | |
And Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds TSB received billions | :48:25. | :48:26. | |
Authorities around the world pumped billions of pounds into the global | :48:27. | :48:32. | |
And here, the Bank of England slashed interest rates from nearly | :48:33. | :48:47. | |
Since the crisis financial, authorities have toughened up | :48:48. | :48:51. | |
They have to hold more capital for emergencies and they've been | :48:52. | :48:55. | |
forced to tighten up their lending rules. | :48:56. | :48:57. | |
But the big question is, 10 years on, have we learned | :48:58. | :49:00. | |
the lessons and could it happen again? | :49:01. | :49:07. | |
Tom Stevenson is from the financial firm Fidelity International. | :49:08. | :49:15. | |
Can you remember what you are doing ten years ago? Yes, I was on | :49:16. | :49:23. | |
holiday, in America, I was enjoying the fact that the pound was doing so | :49:24. | :49:29. | |
well. Interest rates were about five and three quarters at the time, it | :49:30. | :49:33. | |
was a completely different world. When things started to unfold, it | :49:34. | :49:42. | |
just showed... It was a real mess? Yes, it was. Authorities stepped in | :49:43. | :49:45. | |
and took some extraordinary measures. The most important of | :49:46. | :49:49. | |
those was slashing interest rates to zero. At the time, everyone thought, | :49:50. | :49:57. | |
these are emergency measures. This will be short lived. Interest rates | :49:58. | :50:01. | |
will go back to normal levels quite quickly. But we are ten years on and | :50:02. | :50:06. | |
interest rates are still at a 300 year low. | :50:07. | :50:14. | |
Yes, we have been wondering when they will get back to normal. Why | :50:15. | :50:20. | |
has it not gone back up yet? We talked about what lessons have been | :50:21. | :50:28. | |
learned, in some ways, we have not learned any lessons. We remain | :50:29. | :50:35. | |
pretty highly in debt. It is difficult to raise interest rates | :50:36. | :50:40. | |
because households simply cannot cope with higher interest rates. Low | :50:41. | :50:44. | |
interest rates have been fantastic. If you have been lucky enough to own | :50:45. | :50:49. | |
a property or stocks and shares, it may have made you look back and say, | :50:50. | :50:56. | |
what crisis? But if you don't have a property or some stocks and shares, | :50:57. | :51:00. | |
your wages have been flat, it is a very different balance. The last ten | :51:01. | :51:04. | |
years has been very divisive between those who have and those who have | :51:05. | :51:08. | |
not. We were talking about how the rules have changed, one being the | :51:09. | :51:13. | |
fact that the banks have to have more capital. Could we see a | :51:14. | :51:17. | |
situation where banks have to be railed out again? Banks are in | :51:18. | :51:20. | |
better shape than they were. They are not sitting on toxic debt that | :51:21. | :51:26. | |
you mention. That is the good thing. The bad thing is, what I mentioned, | :51:27. | :51:30. | |
we are still very heavily indebted. The Bank of England says it is | :51:31. | :51:35. | |
concerned about car loans. People are borrowing a lot of money to | :51:36. | :51:42. | |
purchase a car, but we are still addicted to debt. If you look at | :51:43. | :51:46. | |
personal debt, it is still incredibly high. Still in the | :51:47. | :51:51. | |
trillions. Much too high in household and government terms. When | :51:52. | :51:57. | |
we talk about deficit reduction, the debt owed by the government is still | :51:58. | :52:02. | |
very high, higher than it was. Thank you very much for your time. | :52:03. | :52:04. | |
Tonight a special production of Les Miserables has its premiere | :52:05. | :52:07. | |
It was the favourite musical of the murdered MP Jo Cox | :52:08. | :52:11. | |
and is being performed in her honour by school children | :52:12. | :52:14. | |
But with a six figure budget and a team of experienced West End | :52:15. | :52:22. | |
professionals behind the scenes, this is no ordinary piece | :52:23. | :52:24. | |
Our entertainment correspondent Colin Paterson was at one | :52:25. | :52:27. | |
It's the West End in West Yorkshire. All to honour the late MP, Jo Cox. | :52:28. | :52:53. | |
Give me that energy, give me the eyes. The West End direct Nick Evans | :52:54. | :52:58. | |
came up with the idea of putting on a show using children from Jo Cox's | :52:59. | :53:04. | |
constituency. I want to show the communities that people across the | :53:05. | :53:07. | |
UK, and in particular the West End community, cared about what | :53:08. | :53:12. | |
happened. This project, to do Les Miserables in a warehouse in Batley | :53:13. | :53:17. | |
and Spen, the town and Jo Cox represented. We are using the young | :53:18. | :53:25. | |
people to tell the story and provide a narrative of hope. Although it is | :53:26. | :53:33. | |
youth Theatre, everything is to be of a West End standard. The set is | :53:34. | :53:39. | |
amazing, we have got amazing direct his working on it. We are working | :53:40. | :53:44. | |
with experienced people. Even the costumes were warned by the West End | :53:45. | :53:48. | |
at this -- theatre. Trying on my dress was insane, because this has | :53:49. | :53:54. | |
been worn on a professional stage. I am in the lighting department, they | :53:55. | :54:02. | |
can't do anything until I say. That is quite a lot of responsibility for | :54:03. | :54:08. | |
a 15-year-old. Yes, but I have some professionals from the West End, so | :54:09. | :54:12. | |
if I mess up I can get them to take it over. Jo Cox was a big fan of | :54:13. | :54:19. | |
musicals. The late MP's seat was taken over by Coronation Street | :54:20. | :54:26. | |
actress, Tracey Braeburn. I spoke to her husband and he said that they | :54:27. | :54:32. | |
used to play the musical in the car, the kids know the words and it was | :54:33. | :54:36. | |
her favourite musical. It's about passion, being a comrades, politics, | :54:37. | :54:42. | |
working together. Having a vision. I think she would find it very | :54:43. | :54:44. | |
powerful. Me of the cast had met her. How much | :54:45. | :55:02. | |
did you know about Jo Cox? I knew her quite a lot. She came to visit | :55:03. | :55:07. | |
our school quite frequently -- many. I met her about five or six times, | :55:08. | :55:11. | |
she was lovely, really passionate. This is such a great inspiration, to | :55:12. | :55:22. | |
do it in honour of her. This Les Miserables is on until Saturday, but | :55:23. | :55:26. | |
it is hoped that the new youth Theatre will continue and provide a | :55:27. | :55:31. | |
lasting legacy for a much loved MP -- theatre. | :55:32. | :55:42. | |
Lots of hard work has gone into that. We are talking about rudeness | :55:43. | :55:51. | |
later today, he thinks we are getting ruder and we are going to | :55:52. | :55:59. | |
get to a level of, credit --a level of Armageddon. Lots of people have | :56:00. | :56:07. | |
said, when sales assistants ignore them, that is extremely rude. Craig | :56:08. | :56:18. | |
has said that people pushing in at the bar, and people skipping queues, | :56:19. | :56:20. | |
that is very rude. Now, though, it's | :56:21. | :59:40. | |

Wednesday, August 9th. An extra 500 medical school places | :00:43. | :01:02. | |
in England are confirmed. The government calls it the biggest | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
ever expansion of the NHS workforce but unions say it doesn't address | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
the immediate shortage. It's been ten years since the start | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
of the global financial crisis, when banks started to realise | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
they had debt that couldn't afford I'll be looking at what has happened | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
since then and what lessons have Anger at the Athletics | :01:23. | :01:28. | |

if North Korea crosses it? Suzanne Kianpour, | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
BBC News, Washington. 500 new medical school places | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
will be made available in England next year, as the government | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
attempts to boost the number The target is to increase the total | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
number of training places by a quarter by 2020, | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
to help ease staffing pressures. The British Medical Association says | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
it won't address the immediate The government has given more detail | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
today on what it says will be the biggest ever expansion | :04:50. | :05:03. | |
of the medical workforce in England. What we're doing is ensuring | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
that we train enough home-grown doctors so the NHS becomes | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
self-sufficient in doctors over the period of the next | :05:13. | :05:14. | |
ten years or so. And we think that that's | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
the best way to ensure that we've got the doctors | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
we need for the future. Next year, an extra 500 | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
medical school places By 2020, that number will grow | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
to 1,500, reprsenting a 25% increase And medical schools will have to win | :05:28. | :05:35. | |
many of those extra places by showing that they can get | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
graduates to work in rural or coastal areas, where | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
recruitment's more of a struggle, and by bringing in trainees | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
from diverse and disadvantaged We welcome the government's | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
approach, looking at how they can get more people from poorer | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
backgrounds to study medicine. It is something which the BMA has | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
been talking about for many years but there are lots of questions | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
about how these medical school places are going to be funded | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
and how the government is going to tackle the immediate | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
recruitment and retention crisis This is all part of wider plans | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
to create thousands more training places for nurses, midwives | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
and health professionals. The Labour Party says it | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
doesn't add up to any But, ultimately, it will be patients | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
who decide whether this extra dose of doctors proves to be | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
an effective medicine. We'll be speaking to a health | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
minister about those Five men facing criminal charges | :06:31. | :06:41. | |
over the Hillsborough disaster Three of them are accused of trying | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
to cover up what happened in 1989. The police match commander | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
on the day, former chief superintendent David Duckenfield, | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
won't be in the dock. Our reporter Ben Schofield | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
has more on this. Why won't David Duckenfield be in | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
court today? It is just over one months in the Crown Prosecution | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
Service said they would charge six individuals with various offences | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
relating to the Hillsborough disaster. David Duckenfield faces | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
the most serious set of charges. 95 individual counts of manslaughter. | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
But prosecutors need to apply to the High Court to lift and ordered Dani | :07:21. | :07:27. | |
King from being prosecuted before they can proceed with that case. Who | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
are the other five men? They include Graham Mackrell, who was the safety | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
officer and secretary of Sheffield Wednesday football club at the time | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
of the disaster. He is facing allegations that he breached health | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
and safety legislation. He and David Duckenfield are the only two men | :07:47. | :07:48. | |
letting charges relating to the disaster itself. Then as you said | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
there are three men, two former police officers and a retired lawyer | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
facing charges of perverting the course of justice. Fifth man we are | :07:58. | :08:05. | |
expecting in the court today is Sir Norman Bettison, a former chief | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
Constable. He ran both the Merseyside and west Yorkshire police | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
forces and he's facing allegations of misconduct in a public office. It | :08:12. | :08:15. | |

criticised for denying a medal favourite entry to the London | :08:43. | :08:51. | |
Stadium amid concerns over Around 30 athletes and support staff | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
have been affected by sickness at the World Championships, | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
but only Botswana's Isaac Makwala has been prevented from competing, | :09:02. | :09:03. | |
as Andy Swiss reports. As Wayde van Niekerk charged | :09:04. | :09:15. | |
to the 400 metres title, the first gold of a | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
potential double at these championships, much of the focus | :09:19. | :09:20. | |
was still on his absent challenger. Isaac Makwala was told he couldn't | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
compete after his sickness because organisers had to protect | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
the welfare of the athletes. But his Botswanan team | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
were left frustrated. We respect the decision | :09:31. | :09:32. | |
if it is based on public health issues, however, it is | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
the manner in which this decision was arrived | :09:37. | :09:39. | |

this matter has been We feel very sorry | :09:44. | :09:45. | |
for the athletes that have to be withdrawn | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
from the competition, but we have a responsibility | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
for all of the athletes and if we allowed them all to sit, | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
it's a tight community, we need to make sure that | :09:59. | :10:01. | |

that you the full tone. That's pretty up-to-date with one of | :13:39. | :13:40. | |
our main story this morning. The NHS in England says it's aiming | :13:41. | :13:42. | |
for what it calls the biggest ever expansion of it's workforce, | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
by training an extra 1,500 There will also be additional | :13:49. | :13:50. | |
training places for nurses, midwives and other | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
health professionals. We'll discuss the plans | :13:55. | :13:56. | |
with Health Minister Philip Dunne but first let's get reaction | :13:57. | :13:58. | |
from someone who works in the NHS. We have a former British Medical | :13:59. | :14:09. | |
Association representative. Your reaction to this confirmation of | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
these numbers, how was it going to work in practice? We all welcome | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
changes like this, but what we are most concerned about is how late | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
this is. We are looking at about eight years. If we implement the | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
changes in the next 12 months it will take five years for a medical | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
student to be trained to become a junior topped up and spent two years | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
to become a junior doctor -- junior doctor. The other concern I have is | :14:36. | :14:42. | |
we have an all-time low of college students applying for medicine for | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
the first time ever. St George is university in London was clearing | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
places for medicine and those are the questions I have the most | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
concerns about. There is a concern about home-grown doctors and nurses | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
coming through and that's where you see the problem? Absolutely and it's | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
not 35%. We have about 7500 new medical students every year. Of | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
course 20% of that is 1500, so it's not 25%. The number of vacancies for | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
medics in the UK is about 50,000. We have massive amounts of vacancies. | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
How is 1500 new doctors from the year 2023, 2024 going to address | :15:24. | :15:30. | |
that? What would you want to ask the health minister now in terms of | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
making a difference to your life as a junior doctor? One of the biggest | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
concerns we have in paediatrics is retention of current trainees. | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
Recruitment of current trainees. For the first year the Royal college of | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
paediatric soprano second round of interviews for paediatric cases | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
because not enough people were recruited in the first round. How | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
are we going to address that with more junior doctors feeling like | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
they can't cope with the gaps we can't feel? Thank you very much. | :16:00. | :16:05. | |
We will be putting some of those questions to the health Minister, | :16:06. | :16:15. | |
Philip Don. The first point that was made, on the issue of what you're | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
going to do to address the immediate crisis, training these new doctors, | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
we won't see them in service for eight years? -- Dunn. We are | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
committing today to what we said we would do before the general | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
election, to increase the number of home-grown, trained doc is by 25% | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
over the coming years. We recognise there are pressures on doctors and | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
on the health service system, that is why we've been increasing the | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
number of doc is since 2012. Today, there are some 11,000 more doctors | :16:50. | :16:56. | |
than 12,000 more nurses. There are some pressure points however. -- | :16:57. | :17:07. | |
doctors. This will not happen tomorrow, Doctor Patel is right | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
about that. It will take some time. We have to manage pressures in | :17:12. | :17:18. | |
certain areas. On the issue of repayment, do you know how much it | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
costs to train Doctor? ?230,000. Is it a fair argument to say that there | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
should be tighter NHS contracts, so that when you spend that money on | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
training a doctor, it is easier for the doctor to stay in the NHS, and | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
it is a benefit to the NHS by keeping those members of staff in | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
jobs? Bout was something we did consult on over the three months | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
from March - June. We are not yet announcing the response. We think we | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
need to do some more work. It is a very complex issue. We are asking | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
health education England to do some work on Mount to see how we can | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
balance the competing demands for the individual doctors -- on | :18:01. | :18:14. | |
amounts. There ask you about the issue with Rotor gaps? Raised by our | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
junior doc is. The difficulty of those who feel that they are not | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
able to do the job they wanted to do. They went into medicine to do | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
these jobs, but there are not enough staff and not enough hours? The | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
pressures on the system are acknowledged, the particular | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
pressures in certain errors, such as emergency ... You are not | :18:37. | :18:45. | |
specifically addressing the issues they are raising. The junior doctors | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
raised a lot of issues last year, a lot of those were about the worklife | :18:51. | :18:57. | |
Alan and the pressures on two new doctors. We have got 11,800 more | :18:58. | :19:05. | |
doctors than we have in 2010, so there are more doctors coming into | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
the system right now. We have a new cohort that began only at the | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
beginning of this month. A new academic year has meant more junior | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
doctors are coming into the system. Today's announcement is focused on | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
the future and how we can ensure that this country becomes more | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
self-sufficient in training our own doctors. That is why we are adding | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
an additional 1500 races to be current places that we have been | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
funding in recent years. We will be producing seven and a half thousand | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
new doctors each year. I understand you are saying this is good news | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
today, but on one more issue, nursing. Janet Davies, the general | :19:50. | :19:57. | |
secretary of the Royal College of nursing, she said, the government is | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
turning off the tap. Nursing degree applications have fallen sharply in | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
the take-up is forcing many nurses out of a job that they love. There | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
is a lack of funding for those coming in, and for those already in | :20:11. | :20:18. | |
it. How are you addressing that? We have committed to funding the | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
clinical placements for an additional 10,000 nurses starting | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
from this current autumn. That is an immediate response to that | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
challenge. As I said, there are over 12 one half thousand more nurses on | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
our wards today than there were in 2010. What we are looking to do is | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
to continue to increase the flow of nurses into the system. We have got | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
52,000 more nurses than we have ever had before. That covers a number of | :20:49. | :20:56. | |
specialties, including midwives. We are trying to address more people | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
getting into the NHS, and today's announcement is another component to | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
that. Wanki for your kind this morning. And your reaction to that? | :21:06. | :21:13. | |
I am really struggling to understand where this is coming from. Making it | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
simple, if you turn up to work one day and I told you there were none | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
of you for the entire week and the cameraman has gone, just do your | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
best. That is the kind of Rotor gap we are talking about. The minister | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
is saying they are bringing in staff this autumn and working to bring in | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
more... It is too late. In paediatrics, we have seen too | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
impatient to make --2 inpatient units closed and a whole lot of | :21:42. | :21:48. | |
other units closed as well. We have seen a 25% increase of admissions. | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
We are getting more work and demand, but less staff than ever. There are | :21:54. | :22:01. | |
11,000 new doctors, we have got 49,000. 'S graduating every year, | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
but is not something new that they have done. Will | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather. | :22:11. | :22:18. | |
mixed fortunes today. In the north, it is fine, in the south, heavy rain | :22:19. | :22:25. | |
and showers developing through the day. A weather front draped across | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
England and Wales. Showers in The Channel Islands, some dry conditions | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
in the south-east. Dry across much of the rest of the UK. I pressure is | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
exerting its influence. This weather front producing the rain at the | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
moment will sink towards the south-east, merge with some showers, | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
so later we will see some heavy downpours. Drifting off, we are | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
already in some sunshine. Hanging on to that through the day. A beautiful | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
day across Scotland and Northern Ireland. A few showers in the | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
Highlands at the moment. They will fade across northern England. The | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
further north you are, the brighter it is. Then you can see where we've | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
got the rain. That extends into the Midlands and the south-west. In | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
Wales, more cloud. A few showers. Brightening up for you. That band of | :23:13. | :23:19. | |
rain, through east Anglia and Essex and Kent, some rain, but the sun | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
coming through for a time. It won't last. Temperatures rising, thundery | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
downpours merging with rain heading south. As it heads south, | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
brightening up across northern Wales and the Midlands. Northern England, | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
Scotland and Wales will have a fine end to the day. Some of us will have | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
a fine day. I is up to 21 in Glasgow, 19 in Belfast. Feeling | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
quite nice. At the other end of the country. Heavy rain across east | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
Anglia in south-east England. That could lead to some disruption with | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
some surface water flooding. This evening and overnight, that weather | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
front continues to drift towards the south-east. Where we have had some | :24:02. | :24:08. | |
late rain, we could see patchy mist and fog. Away from that, dry | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
weather. Clouding over in the far north of the head of our next set of | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
weather fronts. Those fronts are attached to this area of low | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
pressure. I pressure exerting its influence across most of the UK. | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
Today's weather front continues its journey into the near continent. A | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
feature in the morning, leaving Kent. Some light rain and a lot of | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
sunshine. Quite a change compared to the last couple of days. A change | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
across the north of Scotland, more cloud coming in. Temperatures as | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
high as 22 degrees. That weather front continuing south during the | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
course of Friday. A week feature by the time it gets into the | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
south-east. And Saturday and Sunday looking quite nice. | :24:55. | :25:01. | |
With it's rugged mountains and pristine lochs, it's no surprise | :25:02. | :25:13. | |
that the Isle of Skye attracts large numbers of tourists. | :25:14. | :25:15. | |
But the island has become so popular its services | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
are struggling to cope with the numbers. | :25:19. | :25:20. | |
James Shaw is there for us this morning. | :25:21. | :25:28. | |
What is the problem? Too much of a good thing? It looks beautiful and | :25:29. | :25:37. | |
tranquil, you can see the houses along the harbour. This is the main | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
town in the sky. You can see the hill behind me, that is where the | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
Highland games are going to take place. The busiest day of the year | :25:48. | :25:54. | |
on this island. The population will probably double or more. It starts | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
to give you a sense of just how much pressured areas on the | :26:01. | :26:02. | |
infrastructure and services of this beautiful island. | :26:03. | :26:05. | |
Skye has a unique and stunning combination of rivers, | :26:06. | :26:07. | |
mountains and sea lochs, but now it's under increasing | :26:08. | :26:09. | |
Some of Skye's most stunning locations are victims | :26:10. | :26:30. | |
of their own success, suffering increasing road | :26:31. | :26:32. | |
But, still, visitors are drawn to them. | :26:33. | :26:35. | |
What do you think of what you've seen so far? | :26:36. | :26:37. | |
I mean, just the landscape is amazing. | :26:38. | :26:40. | |
Something you don't see anywhere else. | :26:41. | :26:42. | |
Yeah, it's been lovely and everything is beautiful, | :26:43. | :26:45. | |
but there are so many tourists that there isn't the infrastructure | :26:46. | :26:47. | |
to deal with that, unless they manage it in some way. | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
I fear that the prettiness will be damaged by all | :26:52. | :26:53. | |
I didn't imagine so many people, but, yeah, we were quite | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
You know, you have the vast landscape you can walk | :26:58. | :27:01. | |
Not so much space on Skye's singletrack roads. | :27:02. | :27:21. | |
Incidents like this are surprisingly common. | :27:22. | :27:22. | |
And more people are coming to Skye because they've seen it on film. | :27:23. | :27:37. | |
The problem at the moment is the car parking, disposal of waste, | :27:38. | :27:40. | |
and, you know, people come to where the films were made, | :27:41. | :27:43. | |
jump out of the car or the coach, take a quick picture and gone again. | :27:44. | :27:47. | |
And, you know, it's nothing coming into the island economy from some | :27:48. | :27:50. | |
Who wouldn't want to come to Skye to be so surrounded by natural | :27:51. | :27:55. | |
It's clear that pressures are growing and some on the island | :27:56. | :27:59. | |
believe that there need to be solutions sooner rather than later. | :28:00. | :28:02. | |
Well, the biggest challenge over singletrack roads... | :28:03. | :28:03. | |
Shirley runs one of Skye's most famous restaurants. | :28:04. | :28:06. | |
She's also setting up an organisation which will pitch | :28:07. | :28:08. | |
for government grants to improve the island's infrastructure. | :28:09. | :28:10. | |
We need the Scottish government to get right behind tourism, | :28:11. | :28:13. | |
which is now recognised as being a major economic driver | :28:14. | :28:16. | |
We need to get them onside and perhaps supporting us with extra | :28:17. | :28:30. | |
funding for the development of tourism as an industry. | :28:31. | :28:33. | |
Other people suggest a tourism tax, or even making all or part | :28:34. | :28:36. | |
But the consensus is that there should be action soon. | :28:37. | :28:57. | |
there. Could there be a tourism tax to help protect the infrastructure? | :28:58. | :29:09. | |
Probably the Scottish government would not be in favour of that. | :29:10. | :29:15. | |
There could be a fund that might help again with that infrastructure. | :29:16. | :29:20. | |
These are all options to consider. If you see me hitting myself, don't | :29:21. | :29:26. | |
worry, it's just the midges, they are really bad today. We can | :29:27. | :29:32. | |
actually see them all over the camera! You have done very well. It | :29:33. | :29:36. | |
just makes you want to get rid of them. Thank you very much. Thank you | :29:37. | :29:42. | |
for all your comments on the issue of rudeness. We have set the | :29:43. | :29:48. | |
breakfast Twitter and social media account alight with what you think | :29:49. | :29:52. | |
is very annoying. Lots to talk about later on. | :29:53. | :29:52. | |
Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. | :29:53. | :33:10. | |
I will be back with more in about half an hour. See you soon. Take | :33:11. | :33:14. | |
care. Hello, this is Breakfast, | :33:15. | :33:19. | |
with Dan Walker and Naga Munchetty. Tensions between the US | :33:20. | :33:28. | |
and North Korea have North Korea says it is considering | :33:29. | :33:39. | |
carrying out missile strikes on the US territory of Guam. And earlier | :33:40. | :33:46. | |
military statement came out after North Korea threatened America with | :33:47. | :33:48. | |
action. North Korea best not make any more | :33:49. | :33:49. | |
threats to the United States. They will be met with | :33:50. | :33:55. | |
fire and fury like He has been very threatening, | :33:56. | :33:57. | |
beyond a normal state, and as I said they will be met | :33:58. | :34:11. | |
with fire, fury and frankly power the likes of which this world | :34:12. | :34:15. | |
has never seen before. 500 new medical school places | :34:16. | :34:17. | |
will be made available in England next year, as the government | :34:18. | :34:20. | |
attempts to boost the number The target is to increase the total | :34:21. | :34:23. | |
number of training places by a quarter by 2020, | :34:24. | :34:29. | |
to help ease staffing pressures. The British Medical Association says | :34:30. | :34:33. | |
it won't address the immediate Earlier the health minister Philip | :34:34. | :34:44. | |
Dunn admitted there are pressure points on NHS services. We recognise | :34:45. | :34:50. | |
there are pressures on doctors, on the health service system, and | :34:51. | :34:53. | |
that's why we've been increasing the number of doctors working in the | :34:54. | :34:57. | |
health service since 2012. Today there are some 11,800 more doctors | :34:58. | :35:03. | |
than in 2010, some 12,500 more nurses. There are some pressure | :35:04. | :35:07. | |
points in certain specialties and part of the announcement today is to | :35:08. | :35:10. | |
make sure that we recruit into specialties where there are | :35:11. | :35:15. | |
shortages. We've had a massive response to that interview. One | :35:16. | :35:21. | |
says, husband just turned off the TV, shouting over that interview. | :35:22. | :35:26. | |
Paul says, my daughter has just finished her first year as a nurse. | :35:27. | :35:30. | |
So many have pulled out of the course as they can't afford to live. | :35:31. | :35:38. | |
Tanya says her daughter has four A stars but no medical school offers. | :35:39. | :35:42. | |
She is desperate to be a doctor. Thanks for getting in touch. | :35:43. | :35:46. | |
The latest in the world of business now. Good morning! | :35:47. | :35:52. | |
It is kind of a birthday you don't want to remember. Like you say, it | :35:53. | :36:05. | |
has flown by. Good morning. Bank started giving out high risk loans | :36:06. | :36:11. | |
to people with pure credit histories and we know how much these loans | :36:12. | :36:14. | |
would be worth and whether they could pay it back. So the financial | :36:15. | :36:19. | |
system is frozen and interest rates were slashed. Of course they are | :36:20. | :36:24. | |
still at that historical low. Even we are an economy still largely | :36:25. | :36:29. | |
built on debt, people are wondering if we have learnt anything at all. | :36:30. | :36:33. | |
We will talk more about this in about 30 minutes. People are being | :36:34. | :36:39. | |
warned about a scam involving those delivery cards. You know when you | :36:40. | :36:43. | |
miss your post and you get a card saying the caller number or go and | :36:44. | :36:50. | |
collect your parcel. Apparently fake cards are posted to people, which | :36:51. | :36:54. | |
look like official Royal Mail ones, and they ask you to call a number in | :36:55. | :36:58. | |
order to retrieve your post. But what victims are finding out is they | :36:59. | :37:02. | |
are actually being charged ?45 for that call. So watch out and make | :37:03. | :37:07. | |
sure it is legitimate when you get one of those. And a story on | :37:08. | :37:11. | |
parking. This is something we only really want to pay cash for, | :37:12. | :37:15. | |
apparently. Apparently seven out of ten drivers will avoid parking in | :37:16. | :37:19. | |
places that require payment by phone. They say motorists prefer to | :37:20. | :37:24. | |
pay by cash, even if the metre doesn't give change. The AA says | :37:25. | :37:30. | |
many are put off by administration fees and voice controlled payment | :37:31. | :37:33. | |
systems. I am a bit like that. Same. | :37:34. | :37:38. | |
You're thinking, did it really works? | :37:39. | :37:42. | |
You don't trust it. You've got to get up-to-date with a | :37:43. | :37:47. | |
modern times. I am amazed I am the one saying this, but it does work | :37:48. | :37:51. | |
and it remembers your car, gives you an option. | :37:52. | :37:56. | |
Nah... I like getting a ticket out of and putting their cash in. | :37:57. | :37:59. | |
Tributes are being paid to one of the most successful American | :38:00. | :38:02. | |
singers, Glen Campbell, who's died six years after revealing | :38:03. | :38:05. | |
As a session musician, Glen Campbell played on hundreds | :38:06. | :38:23. | |
of recordings before his career as a singer took off. | :38:24. | :38:27. | |
He was best known for hits including Rhinestone Cowboy and Wichita | :38:28. | :38:30. | |
Dolly Parton said he had "one of the greatest voices | :38:31. | :38:33. | |
A few months ago Glen Campbell's daughter told us his father wanted | :38:34. | :38:43. | |
to carry on making music as long as he could. He said, I feel fine, he | :38:44. | :38:47. | |
literally said that, and I want to keep doing what I love, I want to | :38:48. | :38:51. | |
keep touring, and I love performing for people. So he said he was going | :38:52. | :38:54. | |
to do it as long as he could. Coming up on the programme: Carol | :38:55. | :38:56. | |
will be here with the weather. That's in about six or seven | :38:57. | :39:03. | |
minutes. Time to catch up with what's been happening not just at | :39:04. | :39:07. | |
the World Athletics Championships but in the sport. Jessica is at the | :39:08. | :39:13. | |
London stadium for the sixth day of the World Championships. | :39:14. | :39:14. | |
Good morning. It was meant to be the men's 400 metres final last night, | :39:15. | :39:21. | |
one of the most eagerly anticipated races of the World Athletics | :39:22. | :39:26. | |
Championships, billed as one of the highlights of the entire | :39:27. | :39:30. | |
competition. Actually it was very much overshadowed by all of this | :39:31. | :39:33. | |
talk and discussion around the Botswana athlete Isaac Makwala and | :39:34. | :39:37. | |
whether he would be allowed to compete in the final. As you've been | :39:38. | :39:41. | |
hearing most of this morning, he wasn't allowed to take parts despite | :39:42. | :39:46. | |
coming to the stadium ahead of the race. He was affected by a stomach | :39:47. | :39:51. | |
and was withdrawn by the IAAF medical staff. Public Health England | :39:52. | :39:56. | |
guidelines recommend people with such an illness should be | :39:57. | :39:57. | |
quarantined for 48 hours. Makwala was believed to have been | :39:58. | :39:59. | |
one of the athletes who could have mounted a serious challenge in | :40:00. | :40:03. | |
the race to South Africa's Wayde Van But in his absence, the Olympic | :40:04. | :40:06. | |
champion and world record holder came through to comfortably take | :40:07. | :40:09. | |
gold and retain his title. And Van Niekerk had | :40:10. | :40:12. | |
sympathy for his rival. I would love him to have | :40:13. | :40:14. | |
his fair opportunity. I believe he would have done very, | :40:15. | :40:22. | |
very well this championships and, like I said earlier, | :40:23. | :40:31. | |
I've got so much sympathy for him. I really wish I could | :40:32. | :40:35. | |
even give him my medal. Also last night, a thrilling | :40:36. | :40:38. | |
performance from Britain's Kyle The 21-year-old missed out | :40:39. | :40:41. | |
on a medal by 400ths of a second after a sprint for the line | :40:42. | :40:50. | |
in the home straight. He qualified for the final | :40:51. | :40:52. | |
as the slowest athlete in the field but came oh so close | :40:53. | :40:56. | |
to winning a bronze medal. It is bittersweet because I knew in | :40:57. | :41:05. | |
my head I wanted a medal coming into the night. I did the best I could. I | :41:06. | :41:12. | |
finished strong. Just a bit gutted to be honest. It is so hard being so | :41:13. | :41:17. | |
close to a medal. But I am 40 and the world now and I'm only 21, so | :41:18. | :41:21. | |
hopefully down the years to come you will see me taking over that Mo | :41:22. | :41:23. | |
Farah! British team captain Eilidh Doyle | :41:24. | :41:25. | |
will have the chance to win a medal. She qualified for Thursday's 400 | :41:26. | :41:29. | |
metre hurdles final as one of the fastest losers | :41:30. | :41:31. | |
after finishing third And it was a good night | :41:32. | :41:33. | |
for Dina Asher-Smith in the stadium where she was a kit bag holder | :41:34. | :41:38. | |
at the 2012 Olympics. She qualified for the semi-finals | :41:39. | :41:41. | |
of the 200 metres in She's had a difficult year fitness | :41:42. | :41:43. | |
wise after breaking her Bianca Williams also | :41:44. | :41:48. | |
made the semi finals. The Women's Rugby World Cup gets | :41:49. | :42:00. | |
under way in Ireland today. Defending champions England will be | :42:01. | :42:03. | |
hoping for a win against Spain in their opening fixture, | :42:04. | :42:06. | |
the hosts take on Australia while Wales face a tough task | :42:07. | :42:08. | |
against New Zealand. We've come out here along with 11 | :42:09. | :42:15. | |
other teams in the competition for the start of a brand-new | :42:16. | :42:18. | |
competition. What's gone before has gone before and everyone is proud, | :42:19. | :42:23. | |
but the slate is wiped clean and everyone is fighting and vying for | :42:24. | :42:26. | |
that trophy come the end of the competition. | :42:27. | :42:27. | |
Now of course the athletes here at the Championships have been | :42:28. | :42:30. | |
taking centre stage, but there's someone who's been | :42:31. | :42:33. | |
Hero the Hedgehog, the official mascot here, | :42:34. | :42:42. | |
has been causing a bit of a stir with his antics. | :42:43. | :42:49. | |
They've been keeping the crowds entertained. I think they fancy | :42:50. | :42:57. | |
themselves as a bit of an athlete. Clearly got a bit of work to do | :42:58. | :43:00. | |
around maybe their hurdles technique... | :43:01. | :43:05. | |
It's not the easiest thing to master. | :43:06. | :43:10. | |
At least the cone was there to save him. We will be speaking to Kyle | :43:11. | :43:15. | |
Langford a little bit later on and also Laura Weightman. | :43:16. | :43:19. | |
Two of those who just missed out on medals at this championships. | :43:20. | :43:22. | |
There's a whole debate about whether or not we are doing well enough with | :43:23. | :43:25. | |
the medals. One other thing, yesterday I took | :43:26. | :43:31. | |
the kids to the Opening Ceremony of the Special Olympics. Absolutely | :43:32. | :43:35. | |
brilliant. I know we will be there tomorrow on BBC Breakfast to cover | :43:36. | :43:39. | |
the four-day event. It was a wonderful Opening Ceremony and the | :43:40. | :43:44. | |
atmosphere was amazing. I just think with sport like this, | :43:45. | :43:49. | |
so inspirational. Loss to look forward to on day six of the | :43:50. | :43:53. | |
championship. Three gold medals are up for grabs including the shotput, | :43:54. | :43:57. | |
the 400 metre hurdles and the women's 400 metres. Let's see what's | :43:58. | :43:59. | |
in store. Britain's Shara Proctor and Jasmine | :44:00. | :44:08. | |
Soyuz will be looking to make the final in the long jump. Shara | :44:09. | :44:12. | |
Proctor won the silver in the 2015 World Championships and Jasmine | :44:13. | :44:18. | |
Soyuz is a medallist from European Championships. After gold and attend | :44:19. | :44:21. | |
us it is, Mo Farah will start his campaign at the 5000 metres and he | :44:22. | :44:26. | |
has won this event in the last five global championships. Great written | :44:27. | :44:30. | |
have three men in the semis at this event, including Danny Tolbert, 21 | :44:31. | :44:35. | |
year rolls who ran a lifetime best of 20.16 seconds to qualify just | :44:36. | :44:38. | |
behind reigning Olympic champion Wayde van Niekerk. The Briton is an | :44:39. | :44:44. | |
else use and Mitchell Blake also made it through. American Felix is | :44:45. | :44:50. | |
seeking a second world title at this distance but in the semifinals the | :44:51. | :44:55. | |
Iranian athlete, 19, beat her and posted a new personal best and a | :44:56. | :45:01. | |
national record of 50.08 seconds. If you want to keep up-to-date with the | :45:02. | :45:05. | |
day's action you can watch BBC Two between 6:30pm and 10:30pm. | :45:06. | :45:09. | |
All that to look forward to the day. 6:30pm on BBC Two. | :45:10. | :45:29. | |
With North Korea saying it's considering a missile strike on a US | :45:30. | :45:32. | |
territory in the Pacific and President Trump threatening | :45:33. | :45:34. | |
Pyongyang with "fire and, fury" tensions between the two | :45:35. | :45:37. | |
Lets get some reaction from South Korea. | :45:38. | :45:40. | |
The journalist Alex Jensen joins us from the capital, | :45:41. | :45:42. | |
Thank you for taking the time to talk to us. How worried should we | :45:43. | :45:48. | |
be? How seriously should we take this ratcheting up of tensions? I | :45:49. | :45:51. | |
was up early this morning, just about when Donald Trump was making | :45:52. | :45:59. | |
those comments. I have to say, it was something different. We might | :46:00. | :46:03. | |
think some of the things he does and the things he tweets are | :46:04. | :46:09. | |
light-hearted, but this looks like a planned statement. There is a bit of | :46:10. | :46:13. | |
poetry, it has not just spontaneously rolled off the tongue. | :46:14. | :46:18. | |
He has also said a red line, laid down the challenge to North Korea. | :46:19. | :46:22. | |
Coincidently, around the same time, North Korea released a statement | :46:23. | :46:26. | |
saying they were prepared to possibly attack around Wylam. We | :46:27. | :46:30. | |
know there are some significant military outposts there which | :46:31. | :46:36. | |
sometimes make little journeys over South Korea. They did that | :46:37. | :46:39. | |
yesterday. I think things are getting more serious. Looking around | :46:40. | :46:44. | |
here in Seoul, people are very much business as usual. We are so | :46:45. | :46:48. | |
desensitised here that I would not take it as a barometer of anything. | :46:49. | :46:54. | |
Where does this go next? You have got fire, theory and power as a | :46:55. | :46:59. | |
threat or a reaction. What more can be said for we see physical action? | :47:00. | :47:07. | |
From the US, not much more can be said. If it came to blows, I don't | :47:08. | :47:12. | |
know whether there would be any kind of formal statement. I suspect that | :47:13. | :47:18. | |
would not be the case. At this point, my overall feeling is that | :47:19. | :47:23. | |
this is still lost, it is still rhetoric from the US. President | :47:24. | :47:27. | |
Trump is putting himself in a position where I think the American | :47:28. | :47:30. | |
people are increasingly becoming worried about their mainland being | :47:31. | :47:37. | |
threatened. Various people in the Trump administration are talking | :47:38. | :47:40. | |
about preventative war. The language is ratcheting up. You can only talk | :47:41. | :47:45. | |
like that for so long before some action has to be taken. North Korea | :47:46. | :47:51. | |
has danced a one-sided tango for decades. You have got a US president | :47:52. | :47:56. | |
talking in those terms now. It becomes very dangerous. He is also | :47:57. | :48:00. | |
saying, if you threaten the US, North Korea are going to do it. So | :48:01. | :48:06. | |
then what will happen? How will Kim Jong-Un react? I am sure, the same | :48:07. | :48:13. | |
as always, because otherwise Pyongyang might consider that | :48:14. | :48:20. | |
statement, threatening Guam, within hours of what Donald Trump had said. | :48:21. | :48:26. | |
Even if it had been planned... I think that with the military drills | :48:27. | :48:33. | |
this month, we will see some provocation. We saw two launches | :48:34. | :48:37. | |
last month knowing they would get sanctioned again. North Korea is | :48:38. | :48:42. | |
very likely to carry out a provocation of some kind. Then the | :48:43. | :48:51. | |
ball will be in Donald Trump's Court. -- court. | :48:52. | :48:59. | |
Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather. | :49:00. | :49:06. | |
For some of us, but not all, if you're in the northern half of the | :49:07. | :49:15. | |
country, it some sunshine. In the south, heavy rain. That is courtesy | :49:16. | :49:21. | |
of this heavy front, and a high pressure building behind it is | :49:22. | :49:29. | |
giving us are unsettled conditions. But you can see some brightness in | :49:30. | :49:33. | |
the south-east. Some early sunshine. As temperatures rise, sparking off | :49:34. | :49:40. | |
some heavier thundery downpours. We are off to a bright start in | :49:41. | :49:44. | |
northern England with some sunshine. As the rain pushes south, it will | :49:45. | :49:50. | |
continue across England and Wales. Heavy rain merging with heavy | :49:51. | :49:54. | |
showers, some torrential downpours in the south-east. This afternoon, | :49:55. | :49:59. | |
hanging onto sunshine across Scotland and Northern Ireland. | :50:00. | :50:03. | |
Temperatures 20- 21. Feeling quite pleasant with a light breeze. Rain | :50:04. | :50:09. | |
in northern England and torrential downpours yesterday, you might need | :50:10. | :50:14. | |
an umbrella. Brightening up in Wales. Later in the day, brightening | :50:15. | :50:19. | |
up in south-west England. You can see, where we have rain pushing | :50:20. | :50:25. | |
south-east, merging with showers, again some torrential downpours to | :50:26. | :50:30. | |
look out for. For some of us, the temperature won't even get higher | :50:31. | :50:34. | |
than the low double figures. In east Anglia and the south-east, they are | :50:35. | :50:41. | |
in the firing line for that. We could see some surface water | :50:42. | :50:45. | |
flooding. Take extra care. As we head through the afternoon, those | :50:46. | :50:50. | |
are our temperature values. Here is the rain, continuing into the | :50:51. | :50:55. | |
evening and overnight. Pushing down into the south-east. Where we have | :50:56. | :51:00. | |
late rain or showers, we might see some patchiness and fog forming. For | :51:01. | :51:04. | |
most of us, a dry night. Chilly in rural areas. These temperatures | :51:05. | :51:09. | |
indicative of towns and cities. In the north, starting to cloud over. | :51:10. | :51:14. | |
We have got a weather front not too far away. Producing some rain later | :51:15. | :51:18. | |
in the day in the Northern Isles and then in the western Isles. At the | :51:19. | :51:22. | |
other end of the country, losing that rain to the near continent. | :51:23. | :51:26. | |
High-pressure exerting its influence. For a lot of the UK | :51:27. | :51:32. | |
tomorrow, a fine and dry day. Some will notice a difference across | :51:33. | :51:35. | |
England and Wales. This weather front is thinking south during the | :51:36. | :51:40. | |
course of the day. A week feature as it gets into the south. On Saturday | :51:41. | :51:52. | |
and Sunday, not looking too shabby. Thank you very much. | :51:53. | :51:58. | |
All this summer here on Breakfast, we're talking to some of the UK's | :51:59. | :52:02. | |
This morning Steph is talking to a woman who's achieved rare | :52:03. | :52:06. | |
success in the world of science and energy. | :52:07. | :52:12. | |
Yes, this is the third in our summer series talking to inspirational | :52:13. | :52:16. | |
businesswoman at the top of their field. | :52:17. | :52:18. | |
The energy industry, which has been much in the news | :52:19. | :52:22. | |
recently, is dominated by men - with only 6 percent of the places | :52:23. | :52:26. | |
on the boards of power companies taken by women. | :52:27. | :52:28. | |
My guest today is chief exec of Good Energy, | :52:29. | :52:31. | |
an energy company she founded in 1999. | :52:32. | :52:33. | |
It sells gas and electricity to around 115,000 customers | :52:34. | :52:35. | |
generated only from renewable or carbon neutral sources. | :52:36. | :52:37. | |
It also operates its own wind and solar farms. | :52:38. | :52:41. | |
Juliet Davenport, welcome to BBC Breakfast. | :52:42. | :52:46. | |
Take us back to the beginning of where this started for you? It feels | :52:47. | :52:52. | |
like a really long time ago. In 1999, I guess I was really | :52:53. | :52:57. | |
interested and passionate about trying to look for a cleaner future | :52:58. | :53:03. | |
for the energy. I had come out of a consultancy, doing a lot of | :53:04. | :53:06. | |
technology and looking at the policies around it, the finances | :53:07. | :53:15. | |
around it. A lot of studies forgot consumers. Nobody had thought about | :53:16. | :53:19. | |
this power and whether that would shift in a new world where you have | :53:20. | :53:23. | |
low government power. That became really interesting to me. I was | :53:24. | :53:27. | |
really lucky to bump into somebody at a conference who had the same | :53:28. | :53:32. | |
thought. We came together and set up the business back in 1999. It is | :53:33. | :53:39. | |
quite something to set up a business. Was it purely the | :53:40. | :53:47. | |
motivation to make businesses Greener, or was it the real -- or | :53:48. | :53:55. | |
was it something else? If you knew all the problems about setting up | :53:56. | :53:58. | |
your own business, you might not do it. You have to be passionate, | :53:59. | :54:02. | |
really focused on that. You have to hold onto that all the way through. | :54:03. | :54:08. | |
The thing about businesses is that they do stuff. A lot of policymakers | :54:09. | :54:14. | |
try to tinker around, moneymakers give you the money. Business people | :54:15. | :54:21. | |
actually do things, you get to be fantastically creative. You work | :54:22. | :54:25. | |
with fantastic people, lots of great customers. You get to do it and it | :54:26. | :54:32. | |
is really exciting. The energy industry is quite an interesting | :54:33. | :54:38. | |
area to penetrate. We talk about the big companies that dominate the | :54:39. | :54:42. | |
market is, what is that like? I came up through a background of physics. | :54:43. | :54:46. | |
That is what I studied at university. I got quite used to | :54:47. | :54:52. | |
being in a bit of a minority. I was really lucky, I spent two years | :54:53. | :54:56. | |
teaching maths and physics. It gives you huge confidence about explaining | :54:57. | :55:08. | |
complex ideas in speaking out loud. Nobody gave me a hard time or tried | :55:09. | :55:15. | |
to put me down. It surprised me. Where they surprised you were | :55:16. | :55:18. | |
intelligent quest of surprised I had something to say, a challenge to the | :55:19. | :55:22. | |
way they were thinking about it. It was very interesting, we -- when I | :55:23. | :55:33. | |
first came into it, customers were just metres, not real people. | :55:34. | :55:38. | |
Customers can generate their own power today. We have lots of | :55:39. | :55:42. | |
customers who do that. We look at the market in a completely different | :55:43. | :55:46. | |
way. They haven't really thought about that. I think that is why you | :55:47. | :55:51. | |
need diversity in business, to look at problems in different ways. It is | :55:52. | :55:57. | |
interesting that it is heavily criticised. What are your thoughts? | :55:58. | :56:01. | |
I think it is in a period of transition. My fingers are crossed | :56:02. | :56:05. | |
that the way we look at things in the future will be different, the | :56:06. | :56:12. | |
customer coming clean as opposed to being the person on the end of the | :56:13. | :56:16. | |
wire. We have seen price changes, there is a lot of playing around. It | :56:17. | :56:24. | |
is a competitive market. The successes, nearly 4 million people | :56:25. | :56:27. | |
switched this year. That is a huge change from what we have seen | :56:28. | :56:32. | |
before. It is very easy to switch. Consumers can take their own power. | :56:33. | :56:38. | |
If they don't like what they are getting, you can find more suppliers | :56:39. | :56:41. | |
in the market than ever before. There is so much choice. I think it | :56:42. | :56:46. | |
is a better consumer market and we have ever seen. I hope we continue | :56:47. | :56:50. | |
to see customers drive forward a real choice in the future. You can | :56:51. | :56:55. | |
hear my optimism coming through. We can see a future where customers are | :56:56. | :57:00. | |
in charge, they generate their own power and decide what they want to | :57:01. | :57:05. | |
do. Your home becomes a smart place, not somebody down the road. | :57:06. | :57:10. | |
Interesting to see what happens. Thank you for coming in. | :57:11. | :57:13. | |
Talking about the credit crunch later on. | :57:14. | :57:19. | |
Back with the headlines in a few minutes, but time | :57:20. | :00:41. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Naga Munchetty. | :00:42. | :00:52. | |
"Fire and fury" - President Trump warns North Korea it will face | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
an unprecedented response if it continues to threaten America. | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
As Pyongyang says it's considering a missile strike close | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
to an American military base - tensions between the two | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
They will be met with fire, fury and frankly power. | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
The likes of which this world has never seen before. | :01:09. | :01:27. | |
Good morning. It's Wednesday, 9th August. | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
An extra 500 medical school places | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
The Government calls it the biggest ever expansion of the workforce | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
but unions say it doesn't address the immediate shortage. | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
It has been ten years since the start of the global | :01:46. | :01:54. | |
when banks started to realise they were sitting | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
I'll be looking at what has happened since then | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
Anger at the athletics world championships after one | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
of the favourites to win the 400 metres is told he can't compete | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
The fall-out from that virus very much overshadowed the men's 400 | :02:09. | :02:16. | |
meter final at the London Stadium last night. | :02:17. | :02:29. | |
Makwala didn't compete. # Like a rhinestone cowboy. . # | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
Famed for the Wichita Lineman and the Rhinestone Cowboy, | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
country star Glen Campbell has died at the age of 81. | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
We'll be live on the beautiful Isle of Skye where they're struggling | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
Lovely across many parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland and also | :02:46. | :02:58. | |
the far north of northern England. For the rest of us, it's cloudy. | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
There is some rain around. Showers to develop and in the South East and | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
East Anglia we're likely to see heavy thundery downpours later. But | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
I'll have more details in 15 minutes. Thanks, Carol, see you | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
then. Tensions between the US | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
and North Korea have North Korea has said | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
it is considering carrying out missile strikes on the US Pacific | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
territory of Guam. While President Trump has declared | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
that any further threats from the North Koreans will be met | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
with a devastating response. Suzanne Kianpour reports | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
from Washington. North Korea best not make any more | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
threats to the United States. Unprecedented language | :03:32. | :03:46. | |
from an American president. Donald Trump officially escalated | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
the US stand-off with North Korea from his perch on a working vacation | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
at his golf course in New Jersey. A report by US intelligence | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
officials saying Pyongyang has produced a nuclear warhead small | :03:56. | :04:03. | |
enough to fit inside its missiles - that much closer to the capability | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
of striking the United States. The President's angry response | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
could throw a wrench into hopes After a rare unanimous vote | :04:11. | :04:12. | |
in the UN Security Council to slap strong sanctions on the regime - | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
a move meant to bring North Korean State News says | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
Kim Jong-un is already weighing a plan to strike the US Pacific | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
territory of Guam which appears to have been in place | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
before Mr Trump's remarks. President Trump often | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
criticised his predecessor, Barack Obama, for not sticking | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
to his red lines in foreign policy when he was here in the White House, | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
but now, Mr Trump has drawn a red The question is - what happens | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
if North Korea crosses it? 500 new medical school places | :04:44. | :04:51. | |
will be made available in England next year as the Gvernment attempts | :04:52. | :04:53. | |
to boost the number of home-grown The target is to increase the total | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
number of training places by a quarter by 2020, | :04:57. | :05:04. | |
to help ease staffing pressures. The British Medical Association | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
says it won't address The Government has given more detail | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
today on what it says will be the biggest ever expansion | :05:09. | :05:25. | |
of the medical workforce in England. What we're doing is ensuring | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
that we train enough home-grown doctors so the NHS becomes | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
self-sufficient in doctors over the period of the next ten years | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
or so and we think that that's the best way to ensure | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
that we have the doctors Next year, an extra 500 | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
medical school places By 2020, that number will grow | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
to 1,500, reprsenting a 25% increase in yearly intake over | :05:46. | :05:52. | |
all and medical schools will have to win many of those extra places | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
by showing that they can get graduates to work in rural | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
or coastal areas, where recruitment os more of a struggle, | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
and by bringing in trainees from diverse | :06:06. | :06:07. | |
and disadvantaged backgrounds. We welcome the Government's | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
approach, looking at how they can get more people from poorer | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
backgrounds to study medicine. It's something which the BMA has | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
been talking about for many years, but there are lots of questions | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
about how these medical school places are going to be funded | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
and how the Government is going to tackle the immediate | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
recruitment and retention crisis This is all part of wider plans | :06:28. | :06:29. | |
to create thousands more training places for nurses, | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
midwives and health professionals. The Labour Party says it | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
doesn't add up to any But, ultimately, it will be patients | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
who decide whether this extra dose of doctors proves to be | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
an effective medicine. Five men facing criminal charges | :06:46. | :06:53. | |
over the Hillsborough disaster Three of them are accused | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
of attempting to pervert the course The police match commander | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
on the day, former Chief Superintendent David Duckenfield, | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
won't be in the dock. Our reporter Ben Schofield | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
has more on this. Ben, why won't he be in the dock? It | :07:11. | :07:23. | |
is over a month since the Crown Prosecution Service said they wanted | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
to charge six individuals with various offences relating to | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
Hillsborough. David Duckenfield faces the most serious charges. 95 | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
individual counts of mans slaughter, but before prosecutors can proceed | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
with the case against him, they need to apply to the High Court to have a | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
court order lifted which prevents him being prosecuted. Who are the | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
five people we are expecting in the dock? They include the secretary and | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
safety officer from Sheffield Wednesday football club. He is | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
facing accusations that he breached health and safety legislation. He | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
and David Duckenfield are the only two individuals charged in relation | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
to the disaster itself. And then, there are three men charged with | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
perverting the course of justice. They are two former police officers | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
from South Yorkshire Police and a lawyer who was advising the force in | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
the wake of the disaster. The fifth man in the dock, Sir Norman | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
Bettison. He is the former Chief Constable of West Yorkshire and | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
Merseyside Police forces and he's facing accusations of misconduct in | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
a public office. It's expected to be quite a short and brief hearing at | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
Warrington Magistrates' Court, but a significant moment as the cases | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
progress, what is it, 28 years since the disaster its self. We will be | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
following it later. Children's services are being | :08:47. | :08:48. | |
"pushed to breaking point" due to increased demand and cuts | :08:49. | :08:50. | |
in council budgets according The LGA says three-quarters | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
of English councils overspent on child social care by a total | :08:53. | :09:04. | |
of more than ?0.5 billion. A government spokesman said councils | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
would receive around ?200 billion Kenya's incumbent President Uhuru | :09:08. | :09:09. | |
Kenyatta has taken a strong lead as votes are counted | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
after Tuesday's election. With more than three-quarters | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
of results in, Mr Kenyatta has a lead of close | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
to 10% over his rival. However, the opposition coalition | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
has rejected the figures, and has accused officials | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
of publishing fake results. Athletics chiefs have been | :09:28. | :09:29. | |
criticised for denying a medal favourite entry | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
to the London Stadium amid concerns Around 30 athletes and support staff | :09:34. | :09:35. | |
have been affected by sickness at the World Championships, | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
but only Botswana's Isaac Makwala has been prevented from competing | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
as Andy Swiss reports. As Wayde van Niekerk charged | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
to the 400 metres title, the first gold of a potential double | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
at these championships, much of the focus was still | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
on his absent challenger. Isaac Makwala was told he couldn't | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
compete after his sickness because organisers had to protect | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
the welfare of the athletes, but his Botswanan team | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
were left frustrated. We respect the decision | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
if it is based on public However, it is the | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
manner in which this decision was arrived | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
at which is quite disturbing and, as we have indicated, | :10:19. | :10:20. | |
this matter has been We feel very sorry for the athletes | :10:21. | :10:22. | |
that have to be withdrawn from the competition, | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
but we have a responsibility for all of the athletes | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
and if we allowed them all to sit, it's a tight close community | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
and we need to make sure that all of the athletes | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
are protected as well. Meanwhile, Britain's medal | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
near misses continue, despite the performance | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
of Kyle Langford's life. Bronze eluding him in the 800 | :10:44. | :10:53. | |
metres by an agonising And among today's highlights | :10:54. | :10:55. | |
is the return of Mo Farah as he goes He's still the British team's only | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
medallist here and it's now half-way We will be back in the London | :11:00. | :11:18. | |
Stadium for the sport later in the programme. Day six, lots going on. I | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
didn't mean to interrupt you. That's fine, Dan. | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
Tributes are being paid to one of the most successful American | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
singers, Glen Campbell, who's died six years after revealing | :11:30. | :11:31. | |
As a session musician Glen Campbell played on hundreds | :11:32. | :11:51. | |
of recordings before his career as a singer took off. | :11:52. | :11:53. | |
He was best known for hits including Rhinestone Cowboy | :11:54. | :11:55. | |
Dolly Parton said he had "one of the greatest voices of all time". | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
A few months ago, Glen's daughter Ashley told Breakfast her father | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
wanted to carry on making music as long as he could. | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
He literally said that and he said I want to keep doing what I love. | :12:08. | :12:18. | |
I've got an album to promote and I love performing for people. | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
He just said I'm going to do it for as long as I can. | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
Some lovely tributes. This one is from Louise, "When I was 16, I went | :12:26. | :12:33. | |
to an album signing he was doing in Toronto. I was there to get | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
interviewed for a school newspaper. He said, "I have got a conference to | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
go to. Would you like to come with me? He took me into the press | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
conference as part of his entourage. He was at the height of his fame. He | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
gave me an interview for our local school newspaper. His actions spoke | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
for a kind person who never lost sight of who he was. ." | :13:01. | :13:09. | |
We will talk more about that with Chris Stevens later. | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
Today marks the tenth anniversary of the start of the biggest | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
financial crash since the Great Depression. | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
It all began when the banks started to realise that they had | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
They had been giving out high-risk loans to people | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
But when the banks realised they had no idea what these loans were worth, | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
and whether they would ever be paid back, the financial system froze. | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
Here in the UK, we saw banks like Bradford Bingley, | :13:34. | :13:35. | |
Northern Rock, RBS and Lloyds get into real trouble and billions | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
of pounds of taxpayers' money was pumped in to try to save them. | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
Money across the world became tight, banks were worried about lending. | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
So to try to help, interest rates were slashed, with the Bank | :13:47. | :13:57. | |
of England base rate cut from 6% to just 0.5%. | :13:58. | :13:59. | |
Since the crisis, banks have to hold more capital for emergencies | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
and the lending rules have been tightened up. | :14:03. | :14:04. | |
But the big question is - ten years on, have we learned | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
the lessons and could it happen again? | :14:08. | :14:09. | |
Steph's here along with Claer Barrett, the personal finance | :14:10. | :14:11. | |
Good morning. You have been talking about how the system has moved on | :14:12. | :14:21. | |
and we are going to be asking that question ten years on... We have | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
been talking. We have been financial journalists for sometime and we were | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
talking about where we were when it happened because it is one of those | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
things where you go, where were you when the credit crunch started? I | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
was working with Robert Peston at the time when he was our business | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
editor and you know it was a time when everyone suddenly thought oh my | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
godness, none of us knows what's going to happen next. We talked | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
about the banks suddenly realising they had this debt. They lent out | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
too much money to people they didn't think could pay it back. This | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
happened in America and this had been put into complex products which | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
were sold to investors and the long shot was no one had a clue what was | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
going to happen next. I remember times when even the Chancellor was | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
ringing us to ask us what we knew on the news! Richard Branson was | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
ringing us to ask us what was going on with Northern Rock and Virgin | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
Money. What have we learnt? There has been a lot of work done on | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
making sure the intRantion got the money now. They have got greater | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
capital requirements so we don't have problems if there is ever a run | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
on the banks again. So they have had to do that. They have had to make | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
sure they have more money in the coffers. You remember the Northern | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
Rock pictures of people queuing, because they were panicking and | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
interest rates are incredibly low. This issing with Clare talks a lot | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
about. It is the fact that it is cheap to borrow money and that's the | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
danger still. We are in a lot of debt. | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
It was all of a sudden business news, some people used to switch off | :15:53. | :16:02. | |
that but it became important because it affected house prices, your | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
mortgage, pensions. The key difference about this credit crisis | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
related to others, you mentioned the great depression, this was global. | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
It did not just affect the UK or America, it started to affect Asia. | :16:17. | :16:23. | |
People were thinking, will it go away it didn't, it got worse, and it | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
showed the global financial system was interconnected and what we have | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
seen the last ten years is regulators around the world, UK, US, | :16:32. | :16:39. | |
Europe, further afield, putting new rules to try to make banks and | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
financial institutions take fewer risks. It has created an unnatural | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
environment and if we return to the UK, look at what has happened to | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
interest rates. The credit crunch personally has been good for me and | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
Steph, we are journalists and our careers have blossomed. I bought a | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
flat in London before mortgage lending was restricted. I only | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
needed a deposit of ?1000. If I bought the same flat, even though my | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
salary and house prices have gone up three times, I would need a deposit | :17:15. | :17:25. | |
of ?100,000 to buy the same flat. Because I bought it, my mortgage is | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
cheap and I am lucky. If I wanted to rent in my building, the rent would | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
be three times as much as the mortgage I was paying because I took | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
get out when lending the scarily cheap and banks have had to keep | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
interest rates are at rock bottom levels to make sure there is not a | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
wave of mass defaults. You think it was ten years ago, but we are still | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
paying the price. Young people are still paying the price. Anybody who | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
graduated ten years after Steph and I would have had a low-wage, waited | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
longer for a job. You look at the economy and think yes, fewer people | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
are claiming unemployment benefit, but a lot of the jobs are insecure. | :18:03. | :18:08. | |
The gig economy sounds fun and sexy, but if you do not get a pension and | :18:09. | :18:14. | |
holiday pay, you are on a lower rank of the market. Also quantitative | :18:15. | :18:20. | |
easing, it rolls off the time. I was at a financial news Channel at the | :18:21. | :18:27. | |
time and we all said quantitative easing, sub-prime. Common language. | :18:28. | :18:35. | |
Debt obligations. Claer, Steph, thanks. We can talk to Carol and see | :18:36. | :18:42. | |
if there is any quantitative easing in the clouds! | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
Good morning, look at this beautiful picture. Cumbria. Lovely Lake | :18:49. | :18:55. | |
Windermere and blue skies. In contrast, you move to Shropshire and | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
you have rain. We have that contrast today going on with the weather with | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
high-pressure establishing over the North, which means fine and settled | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
but a weather front moving south-eastwards. Taking heavy rain | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
with it. To start the day, although bright in the far south-east, as | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
temperatures rise, thundery downpours develop and they will join | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
forces with the rain. It will be a wet afternoon in the south-eastern | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
quarter. Especially East Anglia and the south-east. Brightening up | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
behind. Over most of North of England, northern and western parts | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
of Wales and eventually south-west England, but Northern Ireland and | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
Scotland and the far north of northern England will start on a | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
sunny note and carry on with that. With gentle breezes and temperatures | :19:45. | :19:51. | |
up to 20, maybe 21, it will feel pleasant. Brightening up again | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
across the North Midlands, North Wales, and then we move into rain | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
moving south-eastwards. It will brighten up later across the | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
south-west of England and you will have a fine end to the afternoon. | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
Rain running up through the Channel Islands, heading towards East Anglia | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
and down into the south-east and joining forces with showers. Heavy, | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
thundery downpours. Something to bear in mind if you're travelling | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
because it could lead to disruption with surface water flooding. As we | :20:23. | :20:29. | |
head on, overnight the same band of rain drifting down. Where we have | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
late rain, we can see patchy mist and fog. For most of the UK it will | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
be a dry night. These temperatures represent towns and cities and in | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
rural areas it will be a bit cooler. You can see cloud and rain coming in | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
over the far north as Scotland because this area of low pressure is | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
trying to penetrate high-pressure, going over the top and depositing | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
the rain. It will do the same tomorrow. The North of Scotland it | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
will be a different day to the one you are having today. For most of | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
the UK tomorrow it will be a dry day when we lose the rain from the | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
south-east. If you are in England and Wales, you will notice the | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
difference. It will feel better and there will be sunshine. On Friday, | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
by the time the rain gets into southern counties it will be a weak | :21:24. | :21:30. | |
feature. On Saturday, dry, with sunny spells, good news if you have | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
been under that deluge of rain. I was under a deluge yesterday. | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
Soggy trainers. Very squelchy and soggy. | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
Tasked with winning six to eight medals at this year's | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
World Championships, the British team is currently | :21:51. | :21:51. | |
But there have been plenty of near misses. | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
In the 800m final last night, Kyle Langford lost out on a bronze | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
Kyle joins us now from the London Stadium, along | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
with Laura Weightman, who came sixth in the 1500m | :22:06. | :22:07. | |
Good morning, thank you for getting up early to talk to us. Kyle | :22:08. | :22:18. | |
Langford, we will see pictures at the end of the 800th. Talk is | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
through what was going through your mind. Immediately you look at the | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
screen. Did you think you might have just got third? It was funny because | :22:28. | :22:36. | |
I was driving down the home straight and looking at the athletes and | :22:37. | :22:43. | |
counting how many. Four, five. I am trying to count. As I did, I | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
thought, hopefully, I was praying, I thought my chest might have got it | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
because I was looking to the athlete who got third and had an inkling I | :22:54. | :22:55. | |
did not get it. It was gutting. I was looking at the screen and | :22:56. | :23:07. | |
hoped my chest went ahead of his but it was gutting. A brilliant | :23:08. | :23:14. | |
performance. Laura, sixth in the 1500 final, in which Laura Muir | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
finished fourth. Your coach Steve Cram described the performance are | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
superb at sixth place, there must be some disappointment with that, as | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
well. I think as an athlete you always want more and do better. If I | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
look at the high quality and strength in depth in the 1500 metres | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
in the world, to make the final and be competitive, I am happy. You | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
always want more. How well these girls are running, to be that | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
competitive, I was pleased with the performance and coming back in the | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
future it gives you believe you can be more competitive on the world | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
stage. Laura, it is easy for presenters to sit and say, why are | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
we not winning more medals? Do you as athletes? Is it part of your | :24:04. | :24:10. | |
discussion? There is a target of six - eight to win in this | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
Championships. There is the target and it is home games and it has | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
lifted the team and we have brilliant performances and is fine | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
margins. It is the world stage and you have to have everything 100% | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
right. Callum Hawkins fourth in a marathon, Laura Muir, I was in the | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
top six. We have more performances to come and more athletes coming | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
through and fingers crossed, more performances through the week and we | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
hope as a team we can keep on putting in performances like that. | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
Kyle, you are 21. I read some quotes from you. You athletes are humble. | :24:46. | :24:53. | |
But I know you have big plans for your career. How good do you think | :24:54. | :25:01. | |
you can be? It is that cliche, the sky is the limit. I really think | :25:02. | :25:08. | |
that for me is what it is. I have said for a long time, I want to come | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
to London and come out with a medal, make the final. People say, you need | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
to be realistic, just get there, it will be amazing. But I set my sights | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
high. I would love to come out with a medal today, or yesterday. I set | :25:24. | :25:31. | |
my sights high. I like to do everything, surpass Mo Farah and the | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
likes of Seb Coe. I set my goal is really high. I think I can do it. | :25:37. | :25:46. | |
Nothing wrong with high goals? Nothing wrong with high goals. It is | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
achievable. It is not out of my reach. I have to keep training hard, | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
stay humble and keep striving forward, and just enjoy the sport. | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
That is what I have learned, I really love competing. As | :26:02. | :26:11. | |
nerve-racking as it is. The crowd are crazy. The reception after the | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
final yesterday, it has been amazing. You looked like you enjoyed | :26:16. | :26:22. | |
it. Laura, the major story, the norovirus and various athletes | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
struck down, including Isaac Makwala, who was not able to run and | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
many felt he had a good chance for a medal. Is that something athletes | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
are taking extra care with? It is a tough situation. Doctors are looking | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
after the team and we have been strongly advised to keep on top of | :26:45. | :26:52. | |
things, use the hand sanitiser. It is tough. All the athletes coming | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
together and put in hotels and these things can easily travel around the | :26:58. | :27:01. | |
teams. In our hotel, the signs are good and everybody is healthy and | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
well and you have to keep an eye on yourself. Have you had breakfast | :27:06. | :27:13. | |
yet? I have not had breakfast. I was told I was going to get breakfast | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
but I have not had it yet, but I am waiting. Enjoy the rest of the World | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
Championships. Peanut butter on toast. Who knows | :27:24. | :27:25. | |
what they are eating. I'm back with the latest from BBC | :27:26. | :30:49. | |
London News in half an hour. Now, though, it's | :30:50. | :30:53. | |
back to Naga and Dan. Hello, this is Breakfast | :30:54. | :30:55. | |
with Dan Walker and Naga Munchetty. These are the main stories at | :30:56. | :31:05. | |
8:30am... Tensions between the US | :31:06. | :31:07. | |
and North Korea have Pyongyang says it's | :31:08. | :31:09. | |
considering launching a ballistic missile strike close to the US | :31:10. | :31:12. | |
military base on Guam President Trump has declared | :31:13. | :31:15. | |
that any further threats from the North Koreans will be met | :31:16. | :31:25. | |
with a devastating response. North Korea best not make any more | :31:26. | :31:28. | |
threats to the United States. They will be met with fire and fury | :31:29. | :31:31. | |
like the world has never seen. He has been very threatening, beyond | :31:32. | :31:45. | |
a normal state, and as I said they will be met with fire, fury, and | :31:46. | :31:51. | |
frankly power, the likes of which this world has never seen before. | :31:52. | :31:55. | |
Some breaking news this morning from Paris. | :31:56. | :32:00. | |
Reports say that French soldiers have been hit by a vehicle | :32:01. | :32:03. | |
in a suburb in the north-west of the city. | :32:04. | :32:05. | |
French Radio says several people have been injured. | :32:06. | :32:07. | |
Officials say police are now looking for the vehicle. | :32:08. | :32:09. | |
As you will expect we will get you as much news on that as we have as | :32:10. | :32:15. | |
we get it this morning, but just to let you know that is new coming to | :32:16. | :32:22. | |
us from France this morning. 8:32am is the time. | :32:23. | :32:24. | |
500 new medical school places will be made available | :32:25. | :32:27. | |
in England next year, as the government attempts to boost | :32:28. | :32:29. | |
the number of home-grown doctors in the NHS. | :32:30. | :32:31. | |
The target is to increase the total number of training places | :32:32. | :32:34. | |
by a quarter by 2020, to help ease staffing pressures. | :32:35. | :32:36. | |
The British Medical Association says it won't address | :32:37. | :32:38. | |
Earlier on Breakfast, the Health Minister Philip Dunne | :32:39. | :32:42. | |
admitted there are pressure points on NHS services. | :32:43. | :32:46. | |
We recognise there are pressures on doctors and | :32:47. | :32:48. | |
That's why we've been increasing the number of doctors working | :32:49. | :32:54. | |
There are today some 11,800 more doctors than there were in 2010, | :32:55. | :33:01. | |
There are some pressure points in certain specialties, | :33:02. | :33:06. | |
and part of today's announcement is to make sure that we recruit | :33:07. | :33:09. | |
into specialties where there are shortages. | :33:10. | :33:13. | |
Children's services are being "pushed to breaking point" due | :33:14. | :33:19. | |
to increased demand and cuts in council budgets, according | :33:20. | :33:21. | |
The LGA says three quarters of English councils overspent | :33:22. | :33:25. | |
on child social care by a total of more than ?500 million | :33:26. | :33:27. | |
A Government spokesman said councils would receive around ?200 billion | :33:28. | :33:31. | |
Councils are facing a double whammy, a big cut in government grants, | :33:32. | :33:44. | |
and also a big increase in the number of vulnerable children | :33:45. | :33:47. | |
So we are saying there's going to be a ?2 billion gap by the end of this | :33:48. | :33:54. | |
decade in the amount of money councils need, compared | :33:55. | :33:56. | |
to the amount of money councils have got. | :33:57. | :33:58. | |
That's going to lead to big problems in making sure that we can keep | :33:59. | :34:01. | |
children safe in the way that members of the public | :34:02. | :34:04. | |
Tributes are being paid to one of the most successful American | :34:05. | :34:07. | |
singers, Glen Campbell, who's died six years after revealing | :34:08. | :34:10. | |
As a session musician Glen Campbell played on hundreds | :34:11. | :34:32. | |
of recordings before his career as a singer took off. | :34:33. | :34:34. | |
He was best known for hits including Rhinestone Cowboy | :34:35. | :34:36. | |
Dolly Parton said he had "one of the greatest voices of all time." | :34:37. | :34:44. | |
A few months ago, Glen's daughter Ashley told Breakfast her father | :34:45. | :34:46. | |
wanted to carry on making music as long as he could. | :34:47. | :34:56. | |
He said, I feel fine, he literally said that, | :34:57. | :34:58. | |
and he said I want to keep doing what I love, I want to keep touring, | :34:59. | :35:02. | |
I've got an album to promote, and I love performing for people. | :35:03. | :35:05. | |
So, he just said I'm going to do it as long as I can. | :35:06. | :35:09. | |
Some lovely tributes come again. Really lovely. Many people who met | :35:10. | :35:13. | |
him when he was on tour to the UK, seeing what a genuinely nice man he | :35:14. | :35:16. | |
was when they met him face to face. We will be talking to journalists | :35:17. | :35:17. | |
about his career a little later. Coming up here on Breakfast | :35:18. | :35:26. | |
this morning... # Like a Rhinestone Cowboy... #. | :35:27. | :35:37. | |
I don't think we will hear enough of Glen Campbell this morning. | :35:38. | :35:40. | |
We'll look back at the life and music of the original | :35:41. | :35:42. | |
Rhinestone Cowboy, the legendary Glen Campbell. | :35:43. | :35:44. | |
We'll also hear how the stunning natural beauty of Skye is attracting | :35:45. | :35:47. | |
so many tourists the island is being pushed to breaking point. | :35:48. | :35:49. | |
And we'll be on our best behaviour with comedian Danny Wallace who says | :35:50. | :35:52. | |
we should all be worried by the rise of rudeness. | :35:53. | :35:55. | |
I'm a bit worried! Honestly, are lot of Glen Campbell tributes today, but | :35:56. | :36:04. | |
rudeness has just kicked things off back. And the things people get | :36:05. | :36:09. | |
annoyed about. Normal things, but some quite odd things. You can also | :36:10. | :36:13. | |
tell when people care as well, because people are sending in | :36:14. | :36:26. | |
obviously loads of tweets and social media comments, but you can see that | :36:27. | :36:32. | |
people are saying via queueing and issues around that annoy them so | :36:33. | :36:36. | |
much. Yes. Lovely to work with you once again. Marvellous! I was hoping | :36:37. | :36:42. | |
for a hug, but nothing there. Thank you for being with us, Jess, | :36:43. | :36:46. | |
bringing us the sport from the stadium! An absolute pleasure, Naga, | :36:47. | :36:52. | |
a privilege to be here. Yes, thousands of fans packed into | :36:53. | :37:01. | |
the stadium to see one of the most eagerly anticipated races of this | :37:02. | :37:06. | |
championship, the men's 400 metres final, but much of the build-up was | :37:07. | :37:10. | |
whether the Botswana athlete Isaac Makwala would actually be allowed to | :37:11. | :37:14. | |
compete in that final, and as we have been hearing on Breakfast all | :37:15. | :37:17. | |
morning, he was actually not allowed to take part. | :37:18. | :37:24. | |
Makwala was affected by a stomach bug and was withdrawn from the race | :37:25. | :37:27. | |
by IAAF medical staff as Public Health England guidelines | :37:28. | :37:30. | |
recommend people with such an illness should be quarantined | :37:31. | :37:32. | |
Makwala was believed to have been one of the athletes who could have | :37:33. | :37:36. | |
mounted a serious challenge in the race to South | :37:37. | :37:38. | |
But in his absence, the Olympic champion and world record holder | :37:39. | :37:43. | |
came through to comfortably take Gold and retain his title. | :37:44. | :37:51. | |
And Van Niekerk had sympathy for his rival after the race. | :37:52. | :37:54. | |
I would love him to have his fair opportunity. | :37:55. | :37:57. | |
I believe he would have done very well this championships and, | :37:58. | :38:03. | |
like I said earlier, I've got so much sympathy for him. | :38:04. | :38:17. | |
I really wish I could even give him my medal, | :38:18. | :38:19. | |
There was a thrilling performance from Britain's Kyle Langford | :38:20. | :38:27. | |
The 21-year-old missed out a medal by four hundredths of a second | :38:28. | :38:31. | |
after a sprint for the line in the home straight. | :38:32. | :38:33. | |
He qualified for the final as the slowest athlete in the field | :38:34. | :38:36. | |
but came oh-so-close to winning a bronze medal. | :38:37. | :38:39. | |
Let's bring you up to date with the rest of the sport now, | :38:40. | :38:45. | |
and Manchester United were beaten 2-1 by European champions Real | :38:46. | :38:47. | |
Real took a deserved 2-0 lead early into the second half, | :38:48. | :38:51. | |
and although Romelu Lukaku pulled a goal back for United, | :38:52. | :38:53. | |
they couldn't stop the Spanish side lifting the Super Cup | :38:54. | :38:56. | |
The women's Rugby World Cup gets underway in Dublin later this | :38:57. | :39:09. | |
afternoon. All the teams will be competing today and I believe | :39:10. | :39:12. | |
Catherine Downes is their for us keeping a watchful eye on all the | :39:13. | :39:21. | |
action. Yes, I am in Dublin, Jess. England open the tournament at two | :39:22. | :39:24. | |
o'clock this afternoon, defending champions of the world's number one | :39:25. | :39:28. | |
Test side, and they have a match against Spain this afternoon. Three | :39:29. | :39:31. | |
of the reasons why they are favourites to win. Another is the | :39:32. | :39:36. | |
other only fully professional side here at the World Cup. Many other | :39:37. | :39:40. | |
players have to fit in training and competing around full-time jobs. The | :39:41. | :39:44. | |
Ireland captain for example, Claire Molloy, she got the call to say she | :39:45. | :39:48. | |
would be replacing the injured captain Niamh Briggs as the Ireland | :39:49. | :39:53. | |
captain here at their home World Cup while she was working in her day job | :39:54. | :39:57. | |
as an A doctor. Hughes what she had to say about it yesterday. Quite | :39:58. | :40:03. | |
overwhelming, to be honest. I was at work at the time, finishing off back | :40:04. | :40:08. | |
the shift, and the girls were thinking, she has gone very serious | :40:09. | :40:11. | |
and the girls were thinking, she has gone very serious now, because it | :40:12. | :40:16. | |
was all good buys. An honour to be asked, but this is a | :40:17. | :40:19. | |
high-performance sport and these things do happen so I could step up | :40:20. | :40:23. | |
and really honoured to do so just happy to be part of the squad of 20 | :40:24. | :40:31. | |
players. Ireland play Australia at seven o'clock tonight and the party | :40:32. | :40:34. | |
will get started well before that. Wales have a difficult one for their | :40:35. | :40:38. | |
opening match taking on the four-time world champions New | :40:39. | :40:40. | |
Zealand, and there is a really interesting dynamic to look out for | :40:41. | :40:44. | |
in the Welsh squad. What goes on tour stays on tour, rate? Not in the | :40:45. | :40:49. | |
case of the Welsh captain, because her dad is the team's Korczyk, so | :40:50. | :40:53. | |
she has to take him everywhere she goes, and I caught up with her | :40:54. | :41:04. | |
yesterday. -- her dad is the team's coach. We get to do this for all the | :41:05. | :41:13. | |
family, it is good terms. How do you feel doing this for your daughter as | :41:14. | :41:19. | |
well as the country? Hopefully now she will listen. No, it has been | :41:20. | :41:23. | |
fine. As you can imagine probably not the first day we have been asked | :41:24. | :41:26. | |
this type of question but, you know, we're here to do a job. She knows | :41:27. | :41:31. | |
that and the rest know that as well. I know that as well. There is enough | :41:32. | :41:36. | |
work to do here to be worried about our personal relationship. You would | :41:37. | :41:43. | |
hope, wouldn't you, Jess, that if Wales can pull of mica huge upset in | :41:44. | :41:47. | |
Dublin and win their opening match, you might just let her out for a bit | :41:48. | :41:50. | |
of a celebration! LAUGHTER | :41:51. | :41:55. | |
Definitely. Thanks for bringing us up-to-date with the women's Rugby. | :41:56. | :42:02. | |
Back at the London stadium and the former British 400 metre Alison | :42:03. | :42:09. | |
joins me. As I was saying, this yesterday was one of the highlights | :42:10. | :42:11. | |
of the competition, at least it was meant to be. The men's 400 metre | :42:12. | :42:16. | |
final but so much of that build-up was not about -- so much of that | :42:17. | :42:23. | |
build-up was about Isaac Makwala. And whether he would be able to | :42:24. | :42:30. | |
compete. How well do you think that IAAF have handled this? You're | :42:31. | :42:35. | |
right, it was the contradiction that was frustrating. We were on the | :42:36. | :42:38. | |
programme constantly hearing his message and seen the video on | :42:39. | :42:41. | |
Twitter. It was bizarre, when he turned up at the warm up track and | :42:42. | :42:47. | |
was refused entry. I think the IAAF, if this happens again, I would | :42:48. | :42:49. | |
expect it to pan out very differently. Clearly what he is | :42:50. | :42:54. | |
saying and the medical team are saying our two very different | :42:55. | :42:59. | |
stories. They are saying he presented himself having vomited a | :43:00. | :43:02. | |
couple of times the night before, showing symptoms of the Nora virus, | :43:03. | :43:07. | |
and of course with the Public Health England suggestion, they recommended | :43:08. | :43:11. | |
the team quarantine, and that clearly was not done because he was | :43:12. | :43:14. | |
walking around yesterday doing interviews. Bizarre, the best way I | :43:15. | :43:19. | |
can describe it. Yes, the IAAF have a responsibility to the other | :43:20. | :43:22. | |
athletes here, and their recommendation. They can't imprison | :43:23. | :43:26. | |
him, and apart from saying to the team, you know, quarantine him, | :43:27. | :43:30. | |
which they clearly did not feel was needed, has he got it or hasn't he? | :43:31. | :43:35. | |
That is where we were left. And you have to feel for him slightly. He | :43:36. | :43:39. | |
said he was OK to the race and the IAAF said no. As a former athlete | :43:40. | :43:42. | |
yourself, if you're been stopped from racing in a final, how would | :43:43. | :43:48. | |
feel? I can feel his frustration and I think at the point when he | :43:49. | :43:51. | |
presented himself and they did all of the physical tests, they looked | :43:52. | :43:54. | |
at him and he was showing the sides of having the Nora virus, I think it | :43:55. | :43:58. | |
then dawned on him, this is serious, and when they spoke about having to | :43:59. | :44:02. | |
quarantine him for 48 hours I think at that point it is when the | :44:03. | :44:06. | |
Botswana team said, hang on a minute, took their checks, and of | :44:07. | :44:17. | |
course he said, I am feeling all right and any athlete would, anyone | :44:18. | :44:20. | |
in that position. And it is not any athlete but a guy who seriously | :44:21. | :44:22. | |
could have pushed Van Niekerk. Only two weeks and Juan Monaco he pushed | :44:23. | :44:25. | |
all the way to the line at the Diamond league, -- only two weeks | :44:26. | :44:29. | |
ago in Monaco he pushed him all the way. It was a difficult night. For | :44:30. | :44:35. | |
British fans, a brilliant performance from Kyle Langford. I | :44:36. | :44:41. | |
know you were impressed with her coming sixth in the world stage, | :44:42. | :44:54. | |
Laura Muir. Yes, the women's 50 by far, the strength and depth was | :44:55. | :44:57. | |
there in that event. To see two women in the top six, phenomenal, | :44:58. | :45:00. | |
and then Kyle Langford last night, the one-man who was not expected, | :45:01. | :45:07. | |
ranked 40th coming into the championships, a real experience for | :45:08. | :45:11. | |
him. With other athletes failing to get through, you know, the Americans | :45:12. | :45:15. | |
have been a force this year and all three failed to get into the final, | :45:16. | :45:21. | |
so it was, hang on, the door is for Kyle, and I don't think you would | :45:22. | :45:24. | |
have done anything different had he had a run that race again. He did | :45:25. | :45:30. | |
everything tactically perfect. Thank you so much for joining us on BBC | :45:31. | :45:34. | |
Breakfast, always a pleasure. What a thrilling race it was, and more for | :45:35. | :45:39. | |
British fans to cheer this evening because Mo Farah will be on the | :45:40. | :45:43. | |
track. I will look forward to that one. | :45:44. | :45:43. | |
STUDIO: We all will be! More on reports from Paris that | :45:44. | :45:53. | |
several French soldiers have been hit by a vehicle in the north-west | :45:54. | :45:58. | |
of the city. French radio says a number of people have been injured. | :45:59. | :46:03. | |
Our correspondent is on the line from Paris. This is coming through | :46:04. | :46:06. | |
in the last few minutes, what more had he been able to get in terms of | :46:07. | :46:12. | |
information? It appears six soldiers who are part of what is called | :46:13. | :46:22. | |
operation Sentinel, six soldiers have been injured after a car rammed | :46:23. | :46:28. | |
into their patrol. Four of them lightly injured, two seriously | :46:29. | :46:31. | |
injured. The car and its driver is being searched for in a large and | :46:32. | :46:38. | |
serious police operation. The mayor of the suburb which is to the | :46:39. | :46:45. | |
north-west of Paris, he has said this is definitely an intentional | :46:46. | :46:50. | |
attack. It comes fairly hard on the heels of a series of attacks in | :46:51. | :46:55. | |
Paris right up to the point of the election in May. The variety of | :46:56. | :47:02. | |
attacks that have taken the form of knife attacks and gun attacks. This | :47:03. | :47:08. | |
appears to be a vehicle ramming incident. Perhaps a surprising | :47:09. | :47:12. | |
location. It's a very densely populated suburb, at the moment we | :47:13. | :47:17. | |
know six have been injured, two seriously and a manhunt is under | :47:18. | :47:22. | |
way. This suburb in the west of Paris as you mentioned. Can you give | :47:23. | :47:26. | |
us some background on what the security alert level is at the | :47:27. | :47:33. | |
moment in France? It's pretty high. What you notice across Paris and | :47:34. | :47:37. | |
major points of population across France soldiers. Heavily armed | :47:38. | :47:43. | |
soldiers on patrol constantly. Wherever people gather, you will see | :47:44. | :47:49. | |
armed soldiers. It's a big change from 10-15 years ago. It's something | :47:50. | :47:53. | |
Christians and people in the big cities of France have now got used | :47:54. | :48:00. | |
to. It is quite a sight and it's not rare now, it's the same in Belgium | :48:01. | :48:05. | |
as well, where attacks have taken place you see heavily armed soldiers | :48:06. | :48:10. | |
on patrol. It now appears those soldiers have become a target. There | :48:11. | :48:15. | |
is now a police operation underway to try and find the vehicle and the | :48:16. | :48:22. | |
driver of the vehicle. This happened around 45 minutes ago, it's a fairly | :48:23. | :48:26. | |
urgent operations. Thank you. Of course there will be much more on | :48:27. | :48:29. | |
that incident with the updates coming through throughout the | :48:30. | :48:33. | |
morning with our correspondence on the BBC News Channel. | :48:34. | :48:37. | |
Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather. | :48:38. | :48:41. | |
This morning some of us have got some rain, some have got some | :48:42. | :48:47. | |
sunshine. The further north you more likely to have pictures like this | :48:48. | :48:52. | |
like this. This beautiful one shows lovely blue skies. As become further | :48:53. | :48:56. | |
south into East Yorkshire, we have some rain and then south again it's | :48:57. | :49:01. | |
been a misty start across parts of ethics. There is still some sunshine | :49:02. | :49:05. | |
at the moment in Kent. We've got high pressure over the UK keeping | :49:06. | :49:10. | |
things settled. This weather fronts sinking south is producing the rain. | :49:11. | :49:15. | |
You can see where we've got the brighter skies in the south-east, as | :49:16. | :49:19. | |
the rain continues to move down towards the south-east. The | :49:20. | :49:23. | |
temperature is 14 Celsius. As soon as that hits 15 will see the cloud | :49:24. | :49:27. | |
built. As temperatures continue to rise in the south-east we are | :49:28. | :49:32. | |
looking at further showers. Joining forces with this rain. Behind it, it | :49:33. | :49:37. | |
is going to brighten up and more of us will see some sunshine through | :49:38. | :49:40. | |
the day. That will be the case across Scotland. We start off with | :49:41. | :49:45. | |
some sunshine and the few showers. We'll hang on to the sunshine | :49:46. | :49:48. | |
through the day. Glasgow and Edinburgh could hit 21. For Northern | :49:49. | :49:53. | |
Ireland and northern England, we are off to a sunny start. The Cabinet | :49:54. | :49:58. | |
brightens up as we go through the day. The rain pushes away dragging | :49:59. | :50:03. | |
its cloud behind it. For Wales we are looking at a sunny afternoon. | :50:04. | :50:07. | |
Later on in the day, it will brighten up across south-west | :50:08. | :50:10. | |
England. We've got all this rain moving towards the south-east, | :50:11. | :50:14. | |
joining forces with the shower which are yet to develop. That could lead | :50:15. | :50:19. | |
to some disruption. There will be some heavy, thundery downpours. If | :50:20. | :50:22. | |
you are travelling, bear that in mind. The areas most at risk of East | :50:23. | :50:29. | |
Anglia and south-east England. There could be some surface water issues | :50:30. | :50:32. | |
with flooding for example. Overnight, the rain weakening as it | :50:33. | :50:35. | |
continues to push through the rest of East Anglia and into Kent. Behind | :50:36. | :50:40. | |
it where we've had some afternoon and late evening rainfall, patchy | :50:41. | :50:44. | |
mist and fog forming. For most of us it will be dry. These temperatures | :50:45. | :50:48. | |
represent towns and cities. In rural areas it will be lower than this. We | :50:49. | :50:53. | |
also have this weather front attached to the low pressure which | :50:54. | :50:56. | |
is trying to penetrate the high-pressure. It isn't working at | :50:57. | :51:00. | |
this stage. During the course of tomorrow that means the cloud will | :51:01. | :51:04. | |
continue to build in the north and north-west of Scotland. The islands | :51:05. | :51:07. | |
will see some rain. Moving away from there and we are back into sunshine. | :51:08. | :51:12. | |
The rain in the south-east pulling away. A wholly different day for | :51:13. | :51:18. | |
England and Wales. This rainfall is sinking south during the course of | :51:19. | :51:24. | |
Friday, by the time it gets into the South it will weaken and Saturday | :51:25. | :51:28. | |
and Sunday are looking largely dry with sunny spells. | :51:29. | :51:37. | |
Glen Campbell, the indelible voice behind country hits such | :51:38. | :51:40. | |
as Rhinestone Cowboy and Wichita Lineman, | :51:41. | :51:41. | |
Campbell had a discography unlike any other, releasing | :51:42. | :51:45. | |
more than 70 albums during an illustrious | :51:46. | :51:47. | |
Wichita Lineman - it's wide open spaces, yearning, | :51:48. | :52:12. | |
loneliness, America turned into song. | :52:13. | :52:15. | |
But what truly made it a masterpiece was the voice of Glen Campbell. | :52:16. | :52:23. | |
# I hear you singing in the wire...#. | :52:24. | :52:25. | |
He had been born in Billstown, Arkansas, a large, poor | :52:26. | :52:27. | |
His escape was his Uncle Boo, who taught him to play guitar. | :52:28. | :52:39. | |
I don't remember not having a guitar or a musical instrument in my hand. | :52:40. | :52:48. | |
He bought me a guitar. The rope went around the hole in the guitar. The | :52:49. | :52:53. | |
string was about that high off of the neck. I found out real quick | :52:54. | :52:58. | |
that it was lighter than pulling a cotton sack or ploughing. | :52:59. | :53:03. | |
He could play anything and ended up singing on TV shows | :53:04. | :53:07. | |
and on hundreds of singles with the session | :53:08. | :53:09. | |
musicians the Wrecking Crew, Phil Spector songs, the Righteous | :53:10. | :53:11. | |
Brothers, Frank Sinatra, it was Glenn Campbell on guitar. | :53:12. | :53:13. | |
And eventually, a breakthrough hit of his own. | :53:14. | :53:17. | |
# Gentle on my mind...#. | :53:18. | :53:21. | |
But it was the partnership with songwriter Jimmy Webb that | :53:22. | :53:24. | |
gave him his career-defining songs By The Time | :53:25. | :53:26. | |
Clean cut, conservative, he was suddenly | :53:27. | :53:38. | |
country music's biggest star, with his own TV show. | :53:39. | :53:41. | |
# But I'm going to be where the lights | :53:42. | :53:50. | |
Rhinestone Cowboy was a glorious return to form after a dip | :53:51. | :53:56. | |
in his fortunes that had taken place in the '70s. | :53:57. | :53:59. | |
But his personal life was far from glorious. | :54:00. | :54:10. | |
I think I probably just quit letting God run my life and I actually | :54:11. | :54:14. | |
just got into the drugs and the booze pretty heavy. | :54:15. | :54:19. | |
# I am a lineman for the county, and I... | :54:20. | :54:21. | |
That slight stumble over the words, it was | :54:22. | :54:29. | |
He'd long put his wild days behind him, but | :54:30. | :54:37. | |
What stayed with him when so much else had gone was the music. | :54:38. | :54:47. | |
It's a great reminder of some of the amazing music he'd produced. | :54:48. | :55:05. | |
Joining us now to look back at Glen Campbell's | :55:06. | :55:07. | |
life is Chris Stevens, who is a country music DJ | :55:08. | :55:09. | |
You play music from the likes of Glenn Campbell. You fell in love | :55:10. | :55:20. | |
with country music when you were living in America and he's been a | :55:21. | :55:24. | |
huge part of that. Absolutely. He's one of those legendary singers along | :55:25. | :55:29. | |
with Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers and Johnny Cash. The passion and the | :55:30. | :55:34. | |
soul that goes into the performances is incredible. Dolly Parton said one | :55:35. | :55:39. | |
of the sweetest almost incredible voices the music industry has heard. | :55:40. | :55:44. | |
I think what people really enjoyed about Glenn Campbell is that he | :55:45. | :55:48. | |
grafted his way through the music industry. It wasn't instant success, | :55:49. | :55:53. | |
he was a session singer for a long time. That's right. He played on | :55:54. | :56:01. | |
sessions for Elvis, he was on the Pet Sounds album. He worked really | :56:02. | :56:06. | |
hard writing songs as well and the hard work paid off. Wended his big | :56:07. | :56:12. | |
break on? In the 60s he was writing songs and making demos and that's | :56:13. | :56:16. | |
where his voice was being heard around the place. As well as his | :56:17. | :56:21. | |
incredible guitar playing. As David Sillito said, there was a time when | :56:22. | :56:26. | |
his star fell and he had problems with drink and drugs. 45 million | :56:27. | :56:30. | |
records sold, six Grammy awards, yes there was a dip but there was such a | :56:31. | :56:37. | |
longevity to his career as well. Completely. What is so great to see | :56:38. | :56:41. | |
is that even when things were getting tough towards the end, he | :56:42. | :56:44. | |
was still recording and releasing albums. His last two albums are | :56:45. | :56:50. | |
fantastic pieces of work. They show that fragility of life, and the | :56:51. | :56:55. | |
honesty as well, which country music is about. The music has gone on | :56:56. | :57:00. | |
through his family. We had Ashley Campbell on the sofa, she is | :57:01. | :57:04. | |
following a career in music inspired by him. He was very open about his | :57:05. | :57:15. | |
Alzheimer's. He didn't shy away from being public, knowing that people | :57:16. | :57:18. | |
still adored him and enjoyed his music. Completely, he was completely | :57:19. | :57:23. | |
honest. He was recording right to the end. He spoke about his outlook | :57:24. | :57:29. | |
on everything. That brings a real poignancy to the music when you | :57:30. | :57:33. | |
listen to it now. Good on him for doing what he loved for as long as | :57:34. | :57:37. | |
he could. Many of our viewers getting in touch with personal | :57:38. | :57:41. | |
tributes. Lisa said, I saw him in Nottingham on his final tour, love | :57:42. | :57:45. | |
his music so much. Andrew says, so sorry to hear the news, I enjoy and | :57:46. | :57:51. | |
still enjoy his songs. As a child I was convinced he was singing about a | :57:52. | :58:01. | |
nine stone cowboy! My wife still brings its limestone cowboy! And | :58:02. | :58:05. | |
another viewer says, we always played his songs in the car, | :58:06. | :58:11. | |
whenever we hear them they remind me of my father. He was a one of a | :58:12. | :58:21. | |
kind. His voice was so unique. The responses show how much he's been | :58:22. | :58:25. | |
loved over his career. Thank you for talking to us as we look back on the | :58:26. | :58:29. | |
life of Brian Campbell who has died at the age of 81. Plenty more | :58:30. | :58:32. | |
tributes on the BBC website. With it's rugged mountains | :58:33. | :58:37. | |
and pristine lochs, it's no surprise that the Isle of Skye attracts large | :58:38. | :58:39. | |
numbers of tourists. But the island has become | :58:40. | :58:42. | |
so popular its services are being stretched to the limit | :58:43. | :58:44. | |
and Police Scotland is warning visitors to stay away | :58:45. | :58:46. | |
unless they have a reservation. James Shaw is there | :58:47. | :58:49. | |
for us this morning. Look at this beautiful scene. You | :58:50. | :59:11. | |
can see Portree harbour, the main town on Skye. And this is what they | :59:12. | :59:15. | |
call the lump, for obvious reasons, where the Highland games will take | :59:16. | :59:18. | |
place later on today, and the population of the stone will at | :59:19. | :59:21. | |
least double, probably more than that. -- the population of this | :59:22. | :59:28. | |
town. And look across the harbour at those Rocky Mountains in the | :59:29. | :59:31. | |
background, to give you the sense of why so many people come here. | :59:32. | :59:40. | |
Skye has a unique and stunning combination of rivers, | :59:41. | :59:42. | |
mountains and sea lochs, but now it's under increasing | :59:43. | :59:44. | |
Some of Skye's most stunning locations are victims | :59:45. | :59:53. | |
of their own success, suffering increasing | :59:54. | :59:54. | |
But, still, visitors are drawn to them. | :59:55. | :00:00. | |
What do you think of what you've seen so far? | :00:01. | :00:02. | |
I mean, just the landscape is amazing. | :00:03. | :00:05. | |
Something you don't see anywhere else. | :00:06. | :00:13. | |
Yeah, it has been lovely and everything is beautiful, | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
but there are so many tourists that there isn't the infrastructure | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
to deal with that, and unless they manage it in some way | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
I fear that the prettiness will be damaged by all | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
I didn't imagine it was so many people, but, yeah, we were quite | :00:27. | :00:34. | |
You know, you have the vast landscape you can walk | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
Not so much space on Skye's single-track roads. | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
Incidents like this are surprisingly common. | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
And more people are coming to Skye because they've seen it on film. | :00:50. | :00:57. | |
The problem at the moment is the car parking, | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
disposal of waste, and, you know, people come | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
to where the films were made, jump out of the car or the coach, | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
And, you know, it's nothing coming into the island economy from some | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
Who wouldn't want to come to Skye to be so surrounded | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
But it's clear that pressures are growing and some on the island | :01:18. | :01:28. | |
believe that there need to be solutions sooner rather than later. | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
Well, the biggest challenge over single-track roads... | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
Shirley Spear runs one of Skye's most famous restaurants. | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
She's also setting up an organisation which will pitch | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
for government grants to improve the island's infrastructure. | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
We need the Scottish Government to get right behind tourism, | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
which is now recognised as being a major economic driver | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
We need to get them onside and perhaps supporting us with extra | :01:50. | :01:57. | |
funding for the development of tourism as an industry. | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
Other people suggest a tourism tax, or even making all or part | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
But the consensus is that there should be action soon. | :02:07. | :02:18. | |
So some possible solutions there. Could there be a tourism tax to help | :02:19. | :02:26. | |
the infrastructure? The Scottish Government is not in favour of that, | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
but say they are open to discussion on these issues, so perhaps a | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
special fund could be set up by the cover meant or perhaps even in the | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
long term they could make Skye or parts of Skye, the most beautiful | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
parts, into a national park. That is a solution that has worked in some | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
other parts of Britain. STUDIO: James, thank you very much | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
for that this morning. It looks so gorgeous and peaceful behind you as | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
well. As long as there are not too many tourists! Part of the issue, | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
isn't it? It is two minutes past nine. | :03:01. | :03:01. | |
Tonight a special production of Les Miserables has its premiere | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
It was the favourite musical of the murdered MP Jo Cox | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
and is being performed in her honour by school children | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
But with a six-figure budget and a team of experienced West End | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
professionals behind the scenes, this is no ordinary | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
Our entertainment correspondent Colin Paterson was at one | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
# And the sun in the morning set to rise... #. | :03:19. | :03:35. | |
It's the West End in West Yorkshire, all to honour the late MP Jo Cox. | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
What you can do for me, guys, is give me that energy... | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
The West End director Nick Evans came up with the idea of putting | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
on a show using children from Jo Cox's constituency. | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
I wanted to show the people of Batley and Spen, and the wider | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
communities around there, that people right across | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
the UK, and in particular the West End community, | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
So I dreamed up a project to do Les Miserables | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
in a warehouse in Batley and Spen, in the town Jo Cox grew up in, | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
in the town she represented, and using the young people | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
of West Yorkshire to tell that story, and provide | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
And the idea is that although it's youth theatre, | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
everything is to be of a West End standard. | :04:18. | :04:25. | |
The set is amazing - obviously we've got West End | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
directors and musical directors working on it, | :04:29. | :04:29. | |
so you're working with these really professional, experienced people. | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
Even the costumes were worn by the West End actors. | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
So trying on my Cosette dress was insane, because I was like, | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
this has been worn on a professional stage. | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
On the night I'll be cueing every department in the show, like, | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
And as soon as I say it, they can do it, they can't do it until I say. | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
That's quite a lot of responsibility for a 15-year-old. | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
But I'm with the West End professionals, so if I do | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
get nervous or mess up, they can take over, which is good. | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
The late MP's seat was taken over by Coronation Street | :05:02. | :05:09. | |
actress Tracy Brabin, who says Les Mis was | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
I spoke to Brendan, Jo's husband, and he said that they used to play | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
the musical in the car, so the kids knew all the words, | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
It's about passion, it's about being a comrade, | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
it's about politics, and working together, | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
She would come and visit our school quite frequently. | :05:30. | :05:56. | |
I met Jo about five or six times myself, and she was a lovely lady, | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
This is such a great inspiration to do for her, | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
This Les Mis is on until Saturday, but it is hoped the new youth | :06:04. | :06:14. | |
theatre will continue, and provide a lasting legacy | :06:15. | :06:16. | |
STUDIO: It looks good! We will be talking to Danny Wallace about | :06:17. | :06:38. | |
rudeness in a moment, something that has got many of you fired up. | :06:39. | :08:12. | |
Well, I'm back with BBC London news at 1.30 with our lunchtime bulletin. | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
Now, though, it's back to Naga and Dan. | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
Welcome back to Breakfast. I'm glad you came back after a certain | :08:18. | :08:34. | |
somebody told you to get lost! Yes, but it is about being rude to | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
someone, remembering a time someone was rude to you. 45 seconds ago, in | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
your case! When was the last time | :08:41. | :08:41. | |
you were rude to someone? How about the last time | :08:42. | :08:43. | |
someone was rude to you? Which age group do you | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
think are the rudest? Is the world a less polite | :08:47. | :08:48. | |
place then it once was? These are questions that comedian | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
and author Danny Wallace has It all started after an unpleasant | :08:52. | :08:53. | |
encounter with a hot dog seller. Yes, exactly. All I wanted was a hot | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
dog. Without this moment this book would not have existed and I would | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
not have spent so much time on it. I just wanted a hot dog, I was with my | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
son, he wanted one, I have bought them before, knew how to do it, knew | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
what to do. There was a place that sold hot dogs with a woman in it | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
whose job it was to sell hotdogs, yet when I went into by the hotdog | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
from the hotdog place I was met with this barrage of rudeness and I | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
couldn't quite believe it. When someone is already out of the blue | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
kind of messes with your brain and that is why people can't come up | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
with something witty to say at the moment, and I had to pay upfront so | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
I was stuck, had to wait for the hotdog, and to cut a long story | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
short I had to wait an hour for the hotdog, which never arrive, and when | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
it never arrived I was ejected and thrown out of the diner, waiting in | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
the drizzle with no hotdog, wondering, what happened here? Did | :09:48. | :09:54. | |
your child look at you disappointed? To be fair, they got his hotdog, I | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
have to say. It was a junior little hotdog. Mine never arrived, but I | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
felt disappointed in myself because I had engaged in a bit of rudeness | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
with this woman in the end. Why did it happen? I was obsessed with it | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
for a couple of days, wrote 200 word online review which then turned into | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
an 85,000 book. We were talking about rudeness and that is how | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
people deal with rudeness. And how we deal with it... We either tut and | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
ignore it, like someone jumping in front of you in a queue, or are we | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
get mad with rage and we can't contain ourselves. Yes, it goes | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
right to the core of who we are because when it happens you feel put | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
down and disrespected and you want some of that respect back, which is | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
when either you tut, to teach the other person, this is how we do | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
things, this is the system we have in place, that you should learn, we | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
go crazy because we feel we need to claw something back. So many people | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
have got in contact about this today. Queue jumping, called guys as | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
opposed to Sir or Madam. Chris says, call me old-fashioned but that is | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
what I need. Car -based fury, whatever that might be, jumping and, | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
again queue related. A lot of it seems to come down to that, saying | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
please and thank you. You have travelled around the world. Is it | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
the same wherever? We all have different systems in place and the | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
basics really are do unto others as you would have done to you. The | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
thing irking me at the moment is I feel that the world really has | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
gotten much ruder and that it has gotten dangerous and that with the | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
deeper I have met and the research I have done, it could lead to some | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
very dark places indeed, because scientists see it as a kid of | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
neurotoxin that can spread the way a cold can spread. If you see someone | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
being rude you are more likely to see rudeness later and be more rid | :11:48. | :11:57. | |
yourself. You become less creative, worst dad, mum or family member, you | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
are worse at your job, you can't concentrate... How do you stop it? A | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
way of stopping it, because it is helping, and there are waves of it, | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
you stop it by calling it out, shining a spotlight on it, saying, | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
that is not the way, by tutting, are a little bit more. What I find | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
really upsetting, this culture of people who say, I'm only being | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
honest. People say, I'm only being honest, but... Then they see | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
something mean. You just have to take me as I am, etc. No, you have | :12:27. | :12:38. | |
to change, because it is awful being honest because you are confusing | :12:39. | :12:40. | |
opinion with honesty so we can all stand round and applaud you for your | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
boring offensive behaviour. And it is the same thing with the hotdog | :12:44. | :12:45. | |
seller. It is hard to respond to rudeness without being rid yourself, | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
and often at my those people who can see, no, you are being rude, without | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
coming across as a bully themselves. Yes, I had to analyse my own | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
behaviour and what I did to annoy this lady in the first place, so I | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
talked to as many people as I could, to scientists, psychologists, | :13:01. | :13:14. | |
behaviour or justs, -- behaviourists, are Nasa engineer... | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
Your mum and dad could have helped? I dedicate the book to them because, | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
yes, I have never genuinely seemed then be rude once, ever. They could | :13:23. | :13:29. | |
teach us all a valuable lesson. Such a magical moment for us all. Danny | :13:30. | :13:36. | |
has given us his book. The Truth About Why People Are So Rude. Thank | :13:37. | :13:38. | |
you, Danny. Earlier in the series we met Tilly | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
and Reuben, behind us, the first two reindeer to be born | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
here in the park. But those early days were far from | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
straightforward. Keepers had to intervene, | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
because Reuben was very weak. | :13:52. | :13:56. |
