13/08/2017 Breakfast

Hello, this is Breakfast, with John Maguire and Sian Lloyd.

A woman has killed and more than 30 people are injured in violence

at a white nationalist rally in the United States.

A car is driven into a crowd of anti-fascist protestors,

following a day of clashes in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Go home. You are not wanted in this great Commonwealth. Shame on you.

Good morning, it is Sunday 13 August.

Also ahead: Ecstasy and agony at the World Athletics

Great Britain's men claim the 4x100m relay gold,

but Usain Bolt pulls up in his last race on the world stage.

It didn't go to plan for Sir Mo Farah, either,

In his last major race on the track, he is beaten into second place

And it has been clear enough for many to be able to see

the Perseid meteor shower lighting up the sky overnight.

Philip can tell us if it is going to stay clear on Sunday.

Hello, very good morning to you. It is quite a cool start to the day,

but I think it is going to be a very pleasant day across many parts of

the British Isles. One or two showers in the mix. More details in

15 minutes. First, our main story: White

supremacists have been told to go home by the Governor of Virginia,

after one person was killed during violent protests,

when a car was driven Overnight, a 20-year-old man

from Ohio was arrested More than 30 people have been

injured at the protests, This is what you represent! Hate on

the streets of this southern American city. Chaos and violence

erupted after a planned protest by white nationalists. The day started

in a tense stand-off, as the group was surrounded by antiracism

activists. It then erupted into taunting, shoving, and outright

brawling. This has been declared an unlawful assembly... The rally was

cancelled before it even began. The police took back streets. The crowd

dispersed. Then this. Our car ploughs through protesters. One

person was killed. A state of emergency has been declared in

Charlottesville, and a curfew is in place. Later, a police helicopter

crash near a golf course, leaving two officers dead. It appeared to

have been monitoring the protests. The US President said the violence

is not just one-sided. We condemn in the strongest possible terms this

egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence, on many

sides. On many sides. But many, even within his own party, feel those

words were not enough. Senator Cory Gartner directly addressed Donald

Trump. The governor of Virginia had this to

say to those who came to the city. And I have a message to all the

white supremacists and the Nazis who came into Charlottesville today. Our

message is plain and simple. Go home. The day of violence ended with

a vigil for the victims. As many reflect on a city and nation

divided. Al apology is therefore a brief

interruption during that report on BBC One, but we will be speaking to

a local newspaper reporter and giving much more on that story. We

will be speaking to him in around ten minutes' time.

It was a night of drama at the World Athletics Championships in London.

Britain's men took gold in the 4x100m relay,

while, to the surprise of those watching, Usain Bolt pulled up

with an injury in his final race on the international stage.

Earlier, Sir Mo Farah was beaten into second place in the final

Our sports news correspondent Andy Swiss was watching.

Rally has a single race encapsulated so many emotions. As the British

relay team celebrated a dazzling win, Usain Bolt's career ended in

calamity. It is Britain out in front. Usain Bolt's Jamaica were the

defending champions but it was Britain who left the way -- led the

way, and as they sprinted to glory, Bolt's Chase was cut agonisingly

short. As Britain's stunning gold sunk in, Usain Bolt was on his back.

Hardly the fairytale finish his career deserved. Eventually he was

able to hobble away, but it was the saddest end to his swansong. For the

British team, though, up picture of perfection. One of the fastest times

ever on one of the biggest stages. We are world champions, it is crazy

to think. We are so grateful to be in this team, and especially to run

with Danny. We have some not so nice memories from 2012 in terms of the

relay, and to run at how we ran today, we couldn't have done it

without the support of the team. The crowd he has been fantastic. We just

wanted to say thank you so much to everyone watching, and we did it.

And they are in a position to challenge for the metal. Quite a run

for Jamaica so far! And the women's team took silver. On a night when

the relay team give them plenty to cheer. Great Britain and Northern

Ireland and Jamaica. Silver medal for Great Britain, gold for the

United States. He is going to take the gold medal. It is going to be

Ethiopia at last. Mo Farah, thanks for the silver. There was also

disappointment, no golden goodbye for Sir Mo Farah, having to settle

for silver in his final race at a World Championships. It has been

incredible, and a dozen had back until you actually compete here and

finally, after crossing the line and having a couple of minutes to

myself, realised this is it. So a case of agony for some but ecstasy

for others. A night as unpredictable as it was unforgettable.

It sounds like a night of high drama.

what a night. Exactly, what an evening of absolute drama. I was

lucky enough to be in that stadium last night, and the atmosphere was

absolutely electric. I think my ears are still ringing, and my voice is a

little croaky from cheering on all the athletes last night. It was just

incredible. Even in the morning session, very, very busy. It will be

the busiest session we have had so far at these World Championships.

All the fans flocked into the stadium to get that glimpse of the

legend, Usain Bolt, as he was running in the four x 100-metre

heat. And in the evening this really was the hottest ticket in town. Just

incredible. Around 80,000 fans screaming, shouting, on their feet,

waving their flags, all for the athletes on this track. It was just

fantastic and I wonder if anyone has actually measure the sound levels in

this stadium when it really begins to get going, because it is just a

cacophony of sound. The ghillie on the home straight, as you can see

behind me. It was just incredible, the crowd really roaring on the

athletes to bring them across the finish line. And all of the

medallists, all of the British medallists last night, Sir Mo Farah

and both of the relay teams, mention the crowd, and it seems to have

worked. Three medals in the bag last night for the Great Britain team.

High drama throughout. Lots more from you later on this morning.

Thank you very much indeed. After 8:00am, we are hoping

to speak to Sir Mo Farah, and those medal-winning

GB relay teams. Two ministers who previously

expressed opposing views on Brexit have written a joint

newspaper article clarifying Writing in the Sunday Telegraph,

Philip Hammond and Liam Fox confirm there will be a transition period

to help businesses adjust, but it will only last

for a limited period of time. Their comments are being seen

as an attempt to show unity between rival sides

in Theresa May's Cabinet. CCTV footage has emerged

of the moment a house was destroyed A woman was inside the semi-detached

house in Sunderland when the blast took place on Friday morning,

but survived with minor injuries. It is understood that she was

protected from the blast by a fridge Learner drivers are to be allowed

on to motorways in England, Scotland and Wales for the first

time from next year. The Department for Transport said

lessons must be in a dual-control car with an approved

driving instructor. More details now from our

correspondent Tom Burridge. Learning to drive. Something many of

us remember doing, mainly in quiet suburban areas. But from next year,

learners will be allowed onto our motorways. The government says it

will make us safer, occurs when people passed their test, they will

all already have experienced of our biggest and fastest roads. It is a

good idea, because normally as they are getting towards the end of their

driving test, I think it is a good idea. If they are well supervised,

obviously. We are looking for people who already know how to drive.

Mainly new drivers, they still cause problems. But when we talk about

people, about learners, that would be chaotic, and I don't think it is

the right idea. Learners will only be allowed onto a motorway with an

approved driving instructor, and only in a car weather front

passenger has petals as well. Road safety groups and the agency that

represents driving instructors have all welcomed the move. Driving on a

motorway will not initially become part of the practical driving test.

Learners will be that just during training. One aim is to reduce the

disproportionate number of young people killed and seriously injured

on our roads. The Perseid meteor shower has been

seen over parts of the UK, giving stargazers the opportunity

to spot scores of shooting stars The shower was due to peak

in the UK on Saturday night, in a display also visible

in other parts of the world. Stargazers took to social media

to say they have seen the display, in which 100 meteors had

been expected an hour. We will be talking about that later

in the programme. So rad to get clear skies -- so rare.

Far-right protesters who gathered in Charlottesville have been told

to go home by the state's Governor, after a day of violence.

One woman died after a car rammed into a crowd of people trying

Chris Suarez works for the local newspaper, and joins us

It is good to talk to you, Chris. Tell us what is the mood like

Barratt moment. Can you repeat that? I didn't hear you so well. Chris,

tell us a little bit about what the mood there is like at the moment.

The mood, pretty sombre. It is... You know, I was driving around town

trying to find people for the story this evening, I had heard rumours of

a vigil which might be organised by the Black Lives Matter movement, on

the grounds of the university in Charlottesville, it is the biggest

industry in this city of 50,000 people. People say it is not much of

a city without the university. But it was raining, I think a lot of

people were really exhausted from the date and mostly decided to just

go home. We are seeing some pictures that were taken earlier, during the

protests that, and I understand that you were there today, as you are

just telling us a bit about it. Can you explain what you saw? What I

saw... This rally was supposed to take place from 12pm to 5pm in what

is called Emancipation Park, which was renamed, previously named Lee

Park for Confederate general Robert Ely, -- Robert E Lee, Confederate

general in the American civil war. So I arrived at 9am in downtown

Charlottesville, and you had these columns of different facets and

white nationalist groups coming into this park. You know, police had

already been deployed, and it got pretty nasty pretty fast between

these anti fascist activists. A while to charge my phone at a cafe

nearby, and I watched a live stream for a while while waiting for my

phone to judge and there was a lot of violence already. They declared a

state of emergency, or an unlawful assembly. So they had to take it to

a Federal Court case this week to allow it in this park, and police

came in, riot police came in, and made everyone leave. So by noon,

when this rally was supposed to start, it was already being shut

down and people were milling about. By 2pm, 3pm, everything kind of

return to normal to some degree. There was still an air of tension.

There was a police presence, National Guard, state police, local

police everywhere in the city. So it was kind of frightening. And unreal,

in some ways. And very briefly, can you give us any update on those who

have died? We know that there was an incident with the car, and also a

helicopter as well. But briefly, is there any update? I am not sure how

much you have heard at this point, but yes, the woman had died, a car

ran into a group of protesters on the pedestrian malt near the

downtown area. In 19 were injured. I hadn't heard of any other fatalities

-- pedestrian mall. And it is very bizarre, but the state police

helicopter had crashed by around 5pm. The helicopter had been

monitoring this rally, and the police haven't really said much.

Thank you very much. Here's Phillip with a look

at this morning's weather. How are you? Well rested. Our

viewers were probably up catching amazing scene like this. This is a

slice of the action over the Isle of Wight. It was quite a chilly start.

Nowhere more so than Northern Ireland. You will notice many of the

towns and cities are down into single figures. At least it equates

to a glorious sunny start of the day the many locations across the

British Isles. Not without the chance of a shower but at least we

got rid of that more persistent rain which was a bit of a nuisance across

the south-eastern quarter of Scotland. A sprinkling of showers to

be had. One or two further south and as you move into Northern Ireland,

maybe a passing shower but I suspect many of you will stay driver the

greater part of the day and you can see -- you can see the extent of the

dry weather. With the sunshine pouring through, not too much on the

way of breeze. A great way to what has been a really interesting few

days of athletics at the World Championships. I don't think the

weather is going to get on the way. It's not too hot for the Premier

league football is trotting out at St James's Park at Old Trafford

later in the day. What about Monday? Not too many dry days in a row. The

northern and western parts of the British Isles, the cloud and rain

into many western parts as you see. Further east, that bit driver that

bit longer. A high of around 24 degrees. Up towards 25 degrees in

the south-east, East Anglia, all tied in with this set of front is

easing their way. Quite a few showers. Some of them quite sharp.

He might even hear a rumble of thunder. That is how we are going to

deal with Tuesday. A bit of a lull in proceedings and we move into

another rather unsettled spell of weather as that area of low pressure

eventually closes into the western side of the British Isles as you

move on to Wednesday. A bit of a mixed bag over the next few days.

Some rain at times and in some warm sunshine. When Phillips says Monday

is looking a bit mmm, you know we are in trouble.

Now it's time for the Film Review with Jane Hill and James King.

Hello and welcome to The Film Review on BBC News.

To take us through this week's interesting cinema

I've been watching Charlize Theron in a spy thriller that's 007

From the Academy Awards to the afterlife, Oscar winner

Casey Affleck returns under a sheet in A Ghost Story.

And get ready to tap, clap and stomp your way

through an uplifting new dance documentary, Step.

Quite an eclectic mix this week, James.

Let's start with the big blockbuster.

Yes, Atomic Blonde, so Charlize Theron stars in this.

It's a spy thriller directed by a guy called David Leitch.

Previously he's worked on a movie called John Wick with Keanu Reeves,

that was a big hit a couple of years back.

There are similarities, they are both very stylish.

Very violent, very polished, very cartoonish.

But Atomic Blonde has some basis in real events because it is set

in 1989 after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Charlize Theron is a spy sent there by the British government

to track down a list of missing agents.

So, is this your first time in Berlin?

Well, it is a remarkable time to be here.

Superb nightlife, marvellous restaurants.

You must try the central cafe for a drink.

You remember Mr Abramowitz, don't you?

We can kind of guess what happens after that.

It has been hard to find clips of any duration

She's quite adept with her stilettos, is Charlize.

However, I think there is some fun to be had with its ridiculousness.

Firstly, Charlize Theron is great and there is a pairing

that she has with James McAvoy, we didn't see it in that clip,

but he's a fellow British agent in Berlin and he's crazy and over

the top and she is ice cool and very measured so they have this great

She's such a watchable actress, isn't she?

Looks great in this, of course is an Oscar winner,

I wouldn't say she particularly has to act that much in this,

And the style is great, this industrial punk

aesthetic to it, this pumping 1980s electro soundtrack.

We can see a bit of action, the car chases and the fights

With it being visually striking should it remind us of Pulp Fiction,

is that what he's after, the slick look with the violence

What it does not have that Pulp Fiction had

It is easy to be snobbish and say the plot is flimsy and stretched.

It means you can get away with quite a lot.

I think it relishes its own silliness and pulpy quality.

It acknowledges that and when a film is shameless about it it can get

Is it a missed opportunity because the time period

in which it is set, Berlin, such a great city, it could be

A slightly missed opportunity but still worth seeing,

a male fantasy of a female spy, I don't think many spies are six

foot tall former models wandering around in stockings and suspenders.

But there is just enough awareness for it to get away with it

and I would happily watch another, that movie hasn't done really well

but if there is a sequel I wouldn't complain.

We move to something that could not be more different.

I am intrigued that this was shot in secret, is it apocryphal

that the director was so concerned about how it might end up

that he thought, I just won't tell people I am making it.

This is David Lowery, last year he moved into the mainstream

because he made a film with Disney called Pete's Dragon,

But that was out of character for him.

He's much more of an independent, low budget film maker,

This is a ghost story as the title suggests.

Casey Affleck plays a recently deceased man who returns in spirit

to his home to watch over his grieving

He is still wearing the sheet that he had placed

Talking about difficult clips to find, it is hard to show you any

clips out of context because pacing and the rhythm of

There are many takes were seemingly not much happens,

There's probably more music than dialogue in it.

It's even shot in the old 4x3 ratio, the square TV ratio to make it

I can understand why David Lowery might want to keep it secret

You have to take a bit of a leap of faith to get into its rhythm

and slowness but when you do it is rewarding and a film about

OK, I am a bit worried the trailer might put people off,

People use the word 'feelgood' too much, to the point of redundancy

but this is genuinely a feel good movie.

A documentary about a girl's dance troupe, called The Lethal Ladies

working out of a high school in inner-city Baltimore.

The film focuses on three of the girl dancers in particular,

Trying to break the cycle of poverty they come from and get out

Very charismatic leads, the people in the film

Actually, I'm going to make you watch me step.

I'm going to get my step, it's going to get up in your grill.

I'm going to take you by your neck and you're gonna

That's what you're supposed to project, every time you get

If you're not stepping on it, sit down, go home, good night.

Stand to attention and give me that face.

I like that teacher, I am not missing with her.

She's brilliant, everyone is brilliant.

It's uplifting because it does not scrimp on the hardships.

These people that we focus on have had tough lives.

There is a lot of anger and it's set among the backdrop

of the Black Lives Matter movement and the female empowerment movement.

That makes it all the more feel-good when the highs come along

It's not really a film about stepping as a dance.

If you don't know much about stepping, very popular

in American colleges, but it's not about the technique

Really it's a film about what dance means to people

I'm really looking forward to that one.

And for Best Out this week you have delighted me because it is a reissue

and what a pleasure it was to watch this film so many years later.

Re-released, a movie about playwright Joe Orton,

rereleased for the 50th anniversary of his death, the film

actually came out in 1987, so the film itself is 30 years old.

Stephen Frears is the director, Alan Bennett is the writer,

based on the diaries of Joe Orton, which we see in the movie.

We see John Lahr who was the editor, played

And then it flashes back to the life of Joe Orton.

I am always reminded of a couple of things,

first that time in the 80s when Gary Oldman and contemporaries

like Daniel Day Lewis and Tim Roth were the angry young men of British

cinema and the future of British cinema.

Now Daniel Day Lewis has announced his retirement!

And Gary Oldman will be playing Winston Churchill!

Secondly, more importantly, what Alan Bennett did with this

script is capture the whit and boisterousness that made

Joe Orton such a great playwright in the 1960s.

Gary Oldman great, Vanessa Redgrave, for me, it is Alfred Molina's movie.

He plays Kenneth Halliwell, Orton's lover.

They had an ultimately tragic and shocking relationship.

But what is so striking, as you say, the film is 30 years

old and it is a litany of wonderful actors because the mother of Orton

is played by Julie Walters and his sister is played

by Frances Barber, these people are part

Alan Bennett has become even more part of the furniture.

What he does brilliantly is give us movies that feel traditional

but they are pretty out there when you look

Raw, Belgian/French horror movie about a student who goes to vetinary

college and discovers a cannibalistic tendencies.

Determined to freak you out with the acting, performing

It is like Carrie directed by Salvador Dali!

Coming up before 7:00am, Philip will have the weather.

But first, at 6:30am, a summary of this morning's main

One person has died and more than 30 others have been injured after a day

of violence between far-right protesters and anti-fascists

A 20-year-old man from Ohio has been arrested after a car was driven

into a group of people trying to prevent a white nationalist rally

The BBC's Joel Gunter is there for us.

So a lot of white nationalists, white supremacists, and various

other so-called alt-right groups descended on Charlottesville, many

arriving on Friday. Early on Saturday they gathered at

Emancipation Park, formerly Lee Park Park, home to the statue of Robert E

Lee which is at the heart of this tragedy. They were surrounded by

antifascist protesters and there were violent skirmishes around

Emancipation Park, and in the end National Guard in and dirt rally was

over before it could begin -- the rally. We are hearing news of

fatalities as well. In terms of what the police and National Guard tried

to do, what were their tactics? Obviously to keep the sides apart,

one assumes? Well, early on there was very little police intervention

at Emancipation Park, where most of the violence was taking place on

Saturday morning. The police that were they are largely stood back,

until after a few hours a state of emergency was declared by the

Virginia Governor and then the riot police and after that the National

Guard started to move in. They pushed people out of that area

around Emancipation Park, to the surrounding areas. There were

sporadic skirmishes and violence and as you mentioned at the top, two

locks away this fatal incident with a driver ploughing into the crowd.

Thank you very much indeed for the latest from Charlottesville -- two

blocks away. Two ministers who previously

expressed opposing views on Brexit have written a joint

night, as the Perseid meteor shower 100 meteors were

expected every hour. The Perseid meteor shower happens

every July and August, as the earth passes debris

from the Swift-Tuttle Comet. Did you see any when you woke up?

Know, did you? My eyes only open about two minutes before six a.m..

And the skies a bit cloudy, but you had plenty of high drama there last

night. Exactly, what a night of drama. And actually, it was this

time yesterday that we were hyping up the fact that Usain Bolt and Sir

Mo Farah would be on the track. It was the British men in lane seven

who won gold. After all the hype, both Usain Bolt

and Sir Mo Farah missed out on the golden goodbye

they were hoping for here News of Sir Mo's silver medal

in a minute, but there was agony for Bolt, and sheer

joy for Great Britain, The British team of CJ Ujah,

Adam Gemili and Danny Talbot had put Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake

in a fantastic position Bolt, who was running

the anchor leg for Jamaica, pulled up injured,

while Mitchell-Blake held off America's Christian Coleman to win

Team GB's second gold The crowd erupted to celebrate

a truly fantastic performance. We're world champions,

it's crazy to think. Especially - I feel so grateful

to be in this team, and especially We have some not-so-nice memories

from 2012, in terms of the relay. And to come here and actually run

it how we ran today, we couldn't have done it

without the support of the team. We just wanted to say thank

you so much to everyone watching, Joy for the British team,

but it wasn't the end to Usain Bolt's track

career that he wanted. His final-ever race ended with him

crumpled in pain on the track. His career ended with eight Olympic

golds, 11 World Championship golds We may never see his like again,

but it wasn't the way Bolt would have wanted to end

his glittering career. It wasn't quite the farewell

to a major track championships either that Great Britain's Sir Mo

Farah would have hoped for. The four-time Olympic champion

will compete in a couple more track races, before switching

to running marathons. But this was his last chance

to win another gold medal, and he gave it everything

in the 5,000m. But Ethiopia's Muktar Edris did

what Farah usually does The Briton just didn't have

enough left in his legs He signed off with a silver medal,

and happy to share the moment It is very special. At the time they

were in mum's tummy. And at the same time Rhianna has grown up. It

doesn't hit until you compete here, and finally after crossing the line

and having a couple of minutes to myself, realise this is it. The

better man won on the day, but I gave it all. I didn't have a single

bit left at the end. There was another silver medal

for Team GB in the women's 4x100m relay, a thrilling run

by the British quartet of Asha Philip, Desiree Henry,

Dina Asher-Smith and Daryll Neita. The 100m world champion, Tori Bowie,

anchored the USA to a gold medal. Jamaica were third, their only

sprint medal of the championships. No such medal success for Britain

in the high jump, though. Both Katarina Johnson-Thompson

and Morgan Lake cleared 1.95m, but it was only good enough

for them to finish in fifth Australia won their first medal

of the Championships, in the women's 100m hurdles -

Sally Pearson, returning to London, where she won gold in the 2012

Olympics, becoming a world champion So much drama here at the athletics,

but plenty going on in On the first weekend

of the new season, defending champions Chelsea were beaten

by Burnley, while newly promoted Huddersfield Town sit

at the top of the table. Ben Croucher has the

best of the action. So how many of you expected to be

waking up with Huddersfield leading the Premier league this morning?

Well, that is what you have got. No fluke either. A diamond display at

Crystal Palace in their first top-flight game since 1972. 34

Huddersfield, and a dream start to their Premier League chapter. For

Burnley, there was delight, there was disbelief, and a deserved three

points as well, stunning the champions in their own backyard.

Three first half goals condemned nine man Chelsea to a brutal defeat.

On the south coast, the Seagulls had soared into the Premier league, but

Brighton's home game capsized. Aguero on target in a 2-0 win.

Liverpool fans will have to keep their heads up. They were heading

for victory, at an injury time equaliser salvaged a 3-3 draw. And

that Goodison Park there was only one name on everyone's blips. It is

Wayne Rooney! 13.5 years since his last competitive goal for Everton,

Wayne Rooney scored the winner against Stoke. We know the name.

Wayne Rooney! So here is a full list

of yesterday's results. Everton winning 1-0,

thanks to that Wayne Rooney goal, while West Brom beat

Bournemouth by the same score. Southampton were held to a goalless

draw by Swansea City. The big result in the Scottish

Premiership was St Johnstone beating That result put them top

of the table on goals scored, just ahead

of champions Celtic. Elsewhere, there were wins

for Hamilton, Hearts, And Kevin Kisner is leading

the US PGA championship The American is looking

to win his first Major title, and has

a one-shot lead after three England's Paul Casey had

a poor end to his day, dropping back to level-par,

but remains the highest placed

British player, And we will be speaking to all of

the British medallists. It will be exciting. Stay tuned for that. We

will be back with you later on. Looking forward to all those chats.

Sir Mo Farah's silver medal from last night just adds

Amongst his achievements, he's won four Olympic medals

and he's broken records all over the world.

His running potential was spotted at an early age by his PE teacher,

It is lovely to have you on Breakfast this morning. We were

willing him to gold and now that the dust has settled, how do you look

back at his Silva? It was a fabulous performance. If you look back at

what he had been through through the week, he is getting on a bit, not as

old as me yet. But he was suffering from that 10,000 metres, and like he

said, he gave absolutely everything. You couldn't fault his performance,

really. And did you watch the race in the stadium? I was in the stadium

with my eight-year-old son. With two laps to go he said I have a bad

feeling about this. I said don't worry, it will be all right. And to

be fair, it was all right. He had the Silva and had to back off that,

but scores like that, there is always someone in your career who

will do better than you, and unfortunately for Sir Mo Farah, that

was last night. The atmosphere must have been electric. I watched it on

TV and you got a sense of the atmosphere from that. You must be

very proud of his achievements. Yes, I mean, incredibly proud. You might

be able to hear that my voice is struggling a little bit. I wondered

last night if I would be able to talk. What he has done is absolutely

remarkable. From being a boy that was going to come over here at eight

years of age with no endless language at all, and not an awful

lot going for him in terms of the likelihood of doing anything

academically, or anything at all, it is just a remarkable story. And it

just shows that you should never give up on anybody. And, you know,

hopefully everybody can reach their potential. And you played a part in

helping him reach his potential, didn't you? How did you spot that at

that early age, when he came over? How did you see what he was going to

become? Spotting the running talent wasn't too difficult. It was pretty

obvious. He kept winning races. The higher you would put him up in

levels, he would win those races as well. The thing was finding ways to

make sure that he became motivated by it and it wasn't long before we

saw it was a real opportunity for him to do something different. And

he really grabbed that opportunity, which was great to see. That is a

big part of it, having the talent, but having the drive, and grabbing

that opportunity, and being able to achieve and keep going at it. He

said that this now is the end of one chapter, but he is going to be

beginning another one with the marathon. How do you see him

approaching that in taking that on, really? I don't think Mo knows

another way to approach things, that is besides giving everything to it.

If he can be successful in a marathon, there is no doubt he will

be. With his work ethic, you can have as much talent as you like but

if you don't work you are never going to be the best. And he knows

that. He will give it his absolute or. And if it is possible, then I

have no doubt whatsoever he will do it. Thank you very much for joining

us this morning. It is great to have you on the programme, and get

another cup of the mouth or your voice. I can imagine you were

cheering a lot. We are going to go back to the

stadium now. Look at that, doesn't it look fantastic. Blue skies there

morning. So much athletics to reflect on the programme this

morning. Nerve -- now we will pass over to fill it. We will hand on the

baton. Oh, no. Yes. Good morning to you. Those clear skies helped if you

work out and about looking at the Perseids last night. A superb

picture here, capturing a slice of the action. We've gone on down to

the Sussex coast. A chilly start. A number of locations well down into

single figures but let's focus on the positives. That Sun will soon

warm things up -- warm things up. It is not a wall-to-wall but certainly

as we come into the northern half of the British Isles, you increase your

chances of seeing passing showers across Scotland but even here, many

areas could stay dry. Similar prospects into Northern Ireland.

That is about as many as you are going to get across England and

Wales. A dry day. I don't think many of you are going to get caught out.

There may just be enough in the way of cloud across the high ground for

a passing shower. Away from that, across the south-east, 23, 24. Just

as we get on towards the evening, this will cool down a bit. At the

Olympic Park, for the World Championships. Into Monday, if

you're on holiday, the most of it. There is an active weather front

coming in. When that pushes through, things will turn quite showery.

Ahead of that, a pretty warm affair. Somebody could be looking at 24, 25.

There is no escaping the fact that the response had to work their way

across the British Isles. Tuesday could turn out to be a showery do.

That little ridge of high pressure. We waste some of that overnight into

Tuesday. More cloud and rain eventually piling in. That feature

is going to be dominant across a good part of Britain. And indeed, on

into Thursday. They could be a hint of the autumn word about it. A bit

early for that, Philip. We don't want that yet.

We'll be back with the headlines at seven o'clock.

This month marks the 25th anniversary of the self checkout.

The first one was installed in New York on 5 August,

So what does its inventor, Doctor Howard Schneider,

I hadn't gone shopping much, so I went to the supermarket

And I started looking at people checking out,

and my stopwatch went "Click, click" - it was a mechanical one.

And, you know, I said wow, what a great environment.

Good luck with any machine doing it, and I said, this would be a great,

And then I started building a machine in my garage.

I actually spent every cent I had on parts,

See, I love self-service checkouts, but then I'm a control freak.

Until they go wrong, at which point they become a right

The technology in the machines now is less than it was 25 years ago,

using 286 computers, using MS-DOS 3.3.

I had better technology 25 years ago than what you see now,

which is the reason for a lot of frustrations.

Please remove item before continuing.

So now people are thinking outside of the shopping basket,

to try and update the self checkout and reduce the delays further.

In Japan, Reggie Robo takes your basket and bags your

The system, which was trialled at the beginning of the year,

scans the RFID tags on all the items at the same time.

Since December, the Amazon Go shop has been undergoing

Once it is working, shoppers should be able to pick up their items

Swedish cafe company Wheelys is working on a similar idea.

Although this staff-less shop will even come to you.

Here at Canary Wharf, in London, something less spectacular,

but which seems to me more workable and more scalable.

Grab and Go has been invented by Barclaycard.

The app scans bar codes as you grab items off the shelf,

Payment is taken from the card that is linked to the app,

and the receipt is sent to the phone, so you don't have

But, with all that grabbing and going, are you thinking

In the future, if you're scanning things and then just putting it

in your bag, and then just walking out, and all the doors are open,

I can see more people stealing more stuff.

So you can basically very easily pick up some item and then can walk

out, but on the way you have CCTV, you have a man on the ground

So it's no more secure than a self-scan checkout,

but I do wonder how many people would just accidentally miss that

barcode, and leave with a lot of unpaid stuff.

Although, even here, technology might be able

Supermarket giant Walmart has filed a patent to incorporate facial

recognition, blood pressure and heart rate monitoring

into its stores to try and understand customer

It might improve customer service, but previous trials of the tech have

been used to try to spot shoplifters, raising a few security

In fact, just this week, the supermarket announced it is also

trialling a scan-and-go solution, but this one relies on shop

assistant approval before you can leave.

In China, which is home to several unmanned stores like this one,

you need your face to get in the front door in the first place.

Like Barclaycard's Grab and Go, customers scan items

using their phones, and they can even heat up their grub

Speaking of heating things up, a similar Chinese idea,

Bingo Box, ran into problems when one of its glass clad stores

Now, as it was unmanned, it wasn't until customers began

to complain that the sweltering temperatures were ruining the food

It is now back up and running, and everything is cool.

So it's not all plain sailing for these souped-up shops,

and it will be a while before we buy our weekly groceries

in the store without some form of human interaction or intervention.

But, as our patience wears increasingly thin in this age

of grabbing and going, it's no surprise that Bingo Box

plans to open 5,000 more stores in the coming year.

Premier League football starts again this weekend,

which I'm reliably informed is important to some people.

Seriously, though, fans will be excited to see what their club's

But how do you know if a new player is going to be right for your team?

Well, one company is using virtual reality to identify talent,

and also help players to recover from injuries.

I'm in Manchester, home of great football, to check out a small

start-up that is joining up with Premier League clubs

for an idea that's only eight months in the making.

This VR system helps scouts recruit players by using statistics

from virtual gameplay to decide whether or not the player would work

But it separately is also being used to help injured players get back

to full fitness, mentally and physically.

You have injured players who will often spend anything

from six months to ten months, years out of the game.

And the scientists, the physios will work with them,

but we do not know what they're going to do in a situation,

what decisions they're going to make.

Now, they can play games, as well as having the treatment,

the movement is limited, but they can feel a part

They are using an HTC5 headset, with the usual hand controllers

And the kit is wireless, crucial for football drills.

As well as this version, they are also working on one

for goalies, which will require an extra pair of sensors.

Several Premier League clubs are signing up to use the VR system,

because it promises to bring players back from the bench faster.

And the first question they ask - does it feel like a real ball?

You do feel like you're really hitting the ball,

I don't know if't is the sound, or the visuals,

And I know people always use that word for VR,

but it does feel as though you are hitting it.

And because you are not, it's important players don't try too

hard, and injure themselves even more, especially when they've cost

Part of the problem is to make sure that they are not hyper-extending.

We had a player last week who is not allowed to kick a physical ball.

And the scientists, the physios will work with them,

but we do not know what they're going to do in a situation,

what decisions they're going to make.

Now, they can play games, as well as having the treatment,

the movement is limited, but they can feel a part

The player, with his injury, he can't do it. It was basically a

case, psychologically, it is massive.

I am now in the rehab drill and there is a man to my left

Now, I cannot do that, because my balance on these

prosthetics just is not there, sorry, physios!

But I can see how that would be very useful for injured players,

but not just injured players, in hospitals.

Players will complete a set of exercises and drills

which will be scored, and their fitness can then be

Elsewhere in the sport world, American football

STRIVR there is a company out of Stanford University,

currently working with seven NFL teams to allow players to practice

anytime, anywhere, without the same physical tolls.

And in the Netherlands, another VR company, Beyond Sports,

has a contract with both Arsenal and Stoke City for match analysis

But, back in the UK, a man who won Premier League titles

as a player and coach with Manchester United thinks

the new technology could really help.

I think it benefits both amateur, professional and grassroots.

You can put pressure into the situation.

Football, possibly, have had a reluctance to use it,

But the kit they are offering is not cheap, with packages starting

at ?5,000, and increasing to more than ?20,000 a month.

But the potential benefits of VR to the football clubs that can

Coaches want to train and test footballers in the most effective

way, by recreating the pressure and intensity of performing

So what would the manager with the most Premier League titles

under his belt, Sir Alex Ferguson, think about it?

Do you think Fergie would have been up for it?

He was open to all that sort of stuff, as long as it made a bit

Or sometimes it's what people like, you know, players like it.

Top clubs are big businesses, and the money in football is only

And, as it does, teams will be looking for any way to improve.

As you watch your team this weekend, remember that last-minute winner

or fingertip save might be the result of some hard hours spent

And that's it for the short cut of Click this week.

to rewatch two of our favourite shows from the year so far -

Philip can tell us if it is going to stay clear on Sunday.

It is quite a cool start to the day, but I think it is going to be a very

pleasant day across many parts of the British Isles.

Two ministers who previously expressed opposing views on Brexit

have written a joint newspaper article clarifying

Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, Philip Hammond and Liam Fox confirm

there will be a transition period to help businesses adjust.

Our political reporter Jonathan Blake is in our London

Good morning to you. It seems as if peace has broken out in the Cabinet.

To a point, at least. You have two big beasts representing different

views on different sides of the argument about Brexit, burying the

hatchet, putting their differences aside and saying they are united, to

appoint at least. Philip Hammond, the Chancellor, who campaigned to

stay in the EU, and Liam Fox, the trade Secretary, one of the most

enthusiastic Brexiteers, have put a couple of issues to bed, at least.

On Britain leaving the EU they are clear we will leave the customs

union and the single market, so no more free movement of goods and

services once we leave the EU. And they will be a transition period

after March 2019 so we don't all wake up on 31 March 2019 not knowing

how to trade with other countries, not knowing what the travel

arrangements, with no new system in place. The so-called cliff edge that

many businesses have been worried about. But crucially, they are also

saying that the transition will be time limited, so this is not away

for the UK to stay in the EU the back door. Lots of details to be

worked out, so how long the unity last, we can't be sure. -- lasts.

Let's discuss a night of surprises and drama

at the World Athletics Championships, in London.

Britain's men took gold in the 4x100m relay.

But it didn't go according to plan for Sir Mo Farah or Usain Bolt,

as they brought their careers on the track to an end.

Our sports news correspondent Andy Swiss was watching.

Rarely has a single race encapsulated so many emotions.

As the British relay team celebrated a dazzling win,

Usain Bolt's career ended in calamity.

He is going to be chased by the great man.

Bolt's Jamaica were the defending champions, but it was Britain

And, as they sprinted to glory, Bolt's chase

As Britain's stunning gold sunk in, Bolt was on his back -

hardly the fairytale finish his career deserved.

Eventually he was able to hobble away, but it was the saddest end

For the British team, though, a picture of perfection.

One of the fastest times ever, on one of the biggest stages.

We're world champions, it's crazy to think.

Especially - I feel so grateful to be in this team, and especially

We have some not-so-nice memories from 2012, in terms of the relay.

And to run it how we ran today, we couldn't have done it

We just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone watching,

And they're in a position to challenge for the medal.

And the women's team took silver, on a night when the relay team give

But the champion in the 100 comes away.

USA, Great Britain and Northern Ireland and Jamaica.

Silver medal for Great Britain, gold for the United States.

There was also disappointment - no golden goodbye for Sir Mo Farah,

having to settle for silver in his final race at a World

It's been incredible, and it doesn't hit until you actually compete here,

and finally, after crossing the line and having

a couple of minutes to myself, realise this is it.

So a case of agony for some, but ecstasy for others.

A night as unpredictable as it was unforgettable.

One man who knows how it feels to win relay medals for his country,

albeit in the 400m version, is Iwan Thomas.

He was watching the action at the London Stadium last night,

and he is back there for us this morning.

Good morning to you. Let's kick off on those relay team results. Because

they were unexpected. How important were they for the team's medal

tally? So important, for the morale, for the people of London as well.

The atmosphere has been great, but it went up to another level last

night. I think the girls were really confident after the heats. I

thought, if I am honest, perhaps a bronze but to get the silver, and

then when the guys came out you could see they meant business. It is

a great example of it is not about four individuals who can run fast

times, but getting that baton out safely. And the first leg was so

quick. I thought at that point we are going to win this. And the

delight on their faces, it has been a tough road to get here so to be

crowned world champions really did lift the spirits of the whole team,

and the nation, I hope. Absolutely, really exciting results there. In

terms of Usain Bolt, it wasn't quite the ending we had been expecting for

him, though. No, quite sad, actually. Individually, for him

personally, I felt really sad. I think if you could have looked in a

magic crystal ball you would have said leave after Rio, leave at the

top. But for an athlete at the highest level it is very hard to

determine when is the right time to bow out. And after seeing his

documentary, he does get injuries, and this year is a year too far. And

to go out with an injury is devastating. I don't think it will

undermine his career whatsoever. He is a pure superstar, and Usain Bolt,

we salute you, because everything you have done for the sport has been

tremendous. Every time you see him that he is on the back of your next

pick up. He is something special indeed. And another superstar, Sir

Mo Farah. I think I caught you having a chat with him having so

many pictures with different people in the audience and talking to his

family. It really says it all when we are talking about disappointment,

when he had silver. Yes, but for me it has been an honour to know Mo. I

gave him a medal in 2013, and said he had some talent and to see him

come through the ranks as a junior for Britain, and what he achieved on

the track, a bit like Usain Bolt, I don't think we will remember the

silver. He has literally been unbeatable and the only way he was

beaten last night was for his opponents to run against him as a

team. And that is what they did, they ran out of him. And it was

disappointing for him because I could see on his face how much he

wanted to get double gold. When he has time to reflect the will look

back and realise what he did for this nation and for track and field.

Mo is amazing and I wish him all the best in the future, on the road, and

no doubt he will be just as good on there. And it was fantastic to see

how much time he spent with fans, having selfies, writing autographs

and making the moment for them. You mentioned the next chapter on the

road. How do you see that doing for him? He is bound to throw everything

at it, because that is what he is like. Hopefully he will have a bit

of time off, because we know how hard he works. You set a date, Mo

leaves nothing behind. He is a perfectionist, and I don't think he

would be turning to the road unless he knew he could become the best in

that as well. I have no doubt we have not seen the last of Mo Farah,

and you said he spent so much time with friends last night. He knows

what the sport needs to others, and he knows what he has done for the

sport. He always takes time out for his fans and I think it would be

very deadly on the road. I think you will be tough to beat. I wouldn't

want to run against him. And how do you reflect back now and the

competition is? I think it has been great. A lot of people have said

they thought we would get more medals, but don't forget we have

quite a few coming today. Tom was worth in the walking, Lindsay Sharp

in the final. And you never know, we could get a couple more medals. I

think it has been brilliant and I thank the people of Britain and

London who have turned out in their thousands. We have had nearly

700,000 spectators in the last ten days. That is pretty amazing. Thank

you very much. With so much athletics this morning

we are using athletics puns to get us into the weather. Ready, set, go,

Philip Avery. Looks like you're on your own there,

only the love and support of your colleagues that gets you through the

morning! Here's a Weather Watcher getting down and dirty with this

glorious shot from earlier this morning and those shots widely

available, skies clear overnight, reflected in the templates but

equating to a lovely start in most parts of the British Isles --

tempts. Looks fantastic out there, I'm envious you are there and I'm in

here but someone has got to do it! Looks like there will be a few

showers in northern and western parts of Scotland but many central,

southern and eastern parts could get away with a dry day. The odd passing

shower and that's the extent of it for Northern Ireland and then in the

greater part of England and Wales, a lovely day. The chance of a a few

showers in the high ground of Wales and Mr west of England but in the

east, the sunshine keeps on pouring on through -- south-west of England.

Good day for the World Championships. Conditions set fair,

we could see some impressive performances. Not such an impressive

performance from the weather. On Monday, this area of cloud and rain

all tied in with new weather fronts coming in from the Atlantic, they

should push through Northern Ireland quite quickly, leaving behind the

prospect of heavy showers and may be a rumble of thunder. Notice the rain

doesn't get to the eastern side of England until really like on in the

day on Monday and before that front arrives, some could see 23, 24, 25,

feeling very summery. Push those weather fronts through during

Tuesday, so the persistent rain giving way to the odd hefty shower

and then those tending to die away as we go through to the evening and

on through the night and into the first part of Wednesday, that ridge

of high pressure suppressing those showers. What it won't do, though,

I'm afraid, is hold at bay that area of low pressure. Notice the number

of isobars, later in the day the western side of the British Isles

again looking wet and windy and that sets us up for a windy spell from

Wednesday into Thursday, so make the most of the day, it's looking super.

Thanks, Philip, see you later! You're watching

Breakfast from BBC News. Time now for a look

at the newspapers. Astrophysicist Carol Mundell

is here to tell us what's We'll speak to Carol in a minute,

but first let's take a look at some Brexit dominates the

papers this morning. A picture of Mo Farah on the Sunday

Telegraph immediately after the race, his head in his hands, but the

lead story, Britain will not stay in the EU by the backdoor the Cabinet.

They will leave the union and the customs union in 2019 and not stay

in the EU by the backdoor. That was an article jointly written by Philip

Hammond and Liam Fox. The same subject, different spin in the

Observer front page this morning, David Miliband, Ed's brother, it

says he makes a dramatic entry into the debate about Britain's exit from

the EU, calling for a second vote on the detail of the Brexit deal. Lots

to talk about there I'm sure. The Mail on Sunday is leading on

Theresa May, saying she's going to head off a threat to sack her as

Prime Minister by making a public plea to Tory supporters to give her

another chance, she will make a grovelling apology, they say, the

Conservative Party conference will show her apologising for the loss at

the General Election. She will be apologising.

A frantic week of ripping open envelopes and going into schools and

colleges and checking online with exam results coming up. The Sunday

Times goes with the story schools fear chaos over tough A-levels. It's

the first time the new exam system has been put to the test. The Sunday

Times is saying that the marks required to secure top grades in the

first new tough new exams have been lowered to avoid a dramatic fall in

standards. A nerve wracking time of year.

Astrophysicist Carol Mundell joins us now.

You've been going through the papers and a story you've chosen in the

Telegraph, which is about Nasa to probe Pluto. What's happening there?

This is Nasa's New Horizons programme and it's been travelling

through the solar system for the last 13 years. It reached Pluto

earlier this year and sent back spectacular photos of the planet and

scientists put it into hibernation for the last five months to save

energy and it's carried on travelling through the solar system,

to the most distant reaches humans have ever reached directly with a

probe and what they will do on September the 11th is wake up the

probe and then it will have a five-month journey to a mysterious

region of the solar system called the Khyber Belt and the idea is to

study a new object we found with space satellite telescopes around

the world. We think it is to rocks or a double rock stuck together, 12

kilometres across, 4 billion miles from Earth. That will be the first

time we've ever studied the building blocks of the solar system with a

probe. -- probe. How fundamental? Very. It's about studying the

origins of the solar system, how are formed and how we got here today. It

could answer the questions? New Horizons literally. Your eye is

always going to be drawn to science stories and maybe even science

fiction stories. This is a piece in the daily Star this morning. This is

Jeremy Kyle, TV presenter, he's coming to a show that uses

artificial intelligence to resolve real-life dilemmas. It sounds like

science fiction but it is becoming science fact, many people already in

counter artificial intelligence, sat navs, mobile phones with apps, the

idea of this show is to see whether artificial intelligence can provide

the human Interface. Scientists have been doing work on this, but the

technology and the ethics behind it are quite controversial and some

studies show for example children suffering from autism can benefit

from this technology but of course there are other ethical issues in

terms of replacing people's jobs so it's an active area of research for

scientists working in AI, it will be a trusting to see how well it will

do compared to human dilemmas. Absolutely. The Observer saying

Harry Potter and friends, bad news for owls. There's a downside to

everything that's wonderful! I'm sure many of your viewers are fans

of Harry Potter, I am and so are my children, but unfortunately it's

fuelling a global illegal trade in birds like Hedwig the owl so

poachers are selling them to those who want to live the Harry Potter

fantasy. Don't buy these birds and certainly don't buy from

unregistered sites. Thanks very much, you will be back

in an hour with more bits and bobs from the Sunday papers.

Also talking about meteors. We will look forward to getting your

thoughts on that. We're here on the BBC News Channel

until nine this morning, Britain's Sir Mo Farah will join us

from the London Stadium We'll also be joined by the gold

winning men's relay team. And if that's not enough,

we'll also have the British women's MUSIC: Hard Times
