:00:11. > :00:18.This is Breakfast. Ministers set out trade plans for life after Brexit,

:00:19. > :00:26.including a temporary customs union with the EU. Critics say the plan is

:00:27. > :00:38.incoherent and inadequate and an attempt to paper over the cracks.

:00:39. > :00:45.More than 300 people have been killed and many more feared buried

:00:46. > :00:52.after heavy floods and mudslides hit the capital of Sierra Leone.

:00:53. > :00:55.The singer, Taylor Swift, wins a court case against the DJ

:00:56. > :01:02.who groped her, and is awarded a symbolic $1 in damages.

:01:03. > :01:06.Could you run a business with your mum or dad?

:01:07. > :01:09.This week, I'm talking to companies who keep it in the family,

:01:10. > :01:12.finding out how they tick, and what it's like to work

:01:13. > :01:16.In sport, Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, says he has "nothing

:01:17. > :01:19.to say" about Phillipe Coutinho's future as his side prepare

:01:20. > :01:21.for their first game in the Champions League

:01:22. > :01:34.I have been down to this gym every day for the last 20 years and have

:01:35. > :01:36.never had a day off. I am full of fitness.

:01:37. > :01:38.Scientists say the idea's a myth, and being overweight can

:01:39. > :01:41.increase your risk of a heart attack by around a quarter.

:01:42. > :01:49.More from them later. And the weather. Good morning. Rain going

:01:50. > :01:54.east and into the North Sea. Behind that, sunshine and showers. Some

:01:55. > :02:01.will be heavy and thundery. In the sunshine, it will be quite pleasant.

:02:02. > :02:03.I will have more in 15 minutes. Thank you, Carol.

:02:04. > :02:07.The government is pushing for a temporary customs union to be

:02:08. > :02:11.put in place when Britain leaves the European Union to try to smooth

:02:12. > :02:14.the way for business and prevent chaos on the UK's borders.

:02:15. > :02:16.There've been warnings about the extra pressure ports

:02:17. > :02:19.could be under if they face an increase in red tape

:02:20. > :02:22.and bureaucracy for goods coming in and out of the country.

:02:23. > :02:24.Today, the government's publishing its proposals,

:02:25. > :02:26.the first in what are being called "future partnership papers"

:02:27. > :02:29.to try to ensure an orderly exit from the EU.

:02:30. > :02:33.Our correspondent, Adam Fleming, reports.

:02:34. > :02:42.How to keep goods flowing easily between the UK in places like this,

:02:43. > :02:48.Europe's second busiest port, Antwerp. Ministers will say it is a

:02:49. > :02:53.temporary deal, but it looks a lot like the current one. The EU has one

:02:54. > :02:59.external border for the import of goods from abroad. Is import taxes

:03:00. > :03:04.known as tariffs are paid, they are paid when the tariff enters that

:03:05. > :03:07.area. -- if. It can move around countries with no further charges

:03:08. > :03:13.and very few checks. The British government wants something as

:03:14. > :03:17.similar as possible to this in March, 2019. It also means products

:03:18. > :03:24.created inside the EU will remain tariff free, crucial for British

:03:25. > :03:28.businesses from cars to drinks. We don't want Brexit to come up against

:03:29. > :03:36.boundaries and borders, whether it is bureaucratic, taxes, it could

:03:37. > :03:39.change. But how will the two sides worked together further in the

:03:40. > :03:45.future? The government will propose two scenarios. The first option is

:03:46. > :03:49.described as a highly streamlined customs arrangement. In plain

:03:50. > :03:53.English, using as much technology and a little red tape is possible to

:03:54. > :03:58.speed the flow of goods between the UK and the EU. The second option the

:03:59. > :04:01.government calls a new customs partnership. That would be an

:04:02. > :04:05.unprecedented deal between the EU and the UK where both sides would

:04:06. > :04:14.agree to do virtually everything the same when it came to customs, which

:04:15. > :04:20.would mean there would be no need for a border between the two.

:04:21. > :04:28.Pleasing everyone at home in Antwerp and elsewhere will be difficult. The

:04:29. > :04:30.EU does not want to talk about this until it has settled other issues

:04:31. > :04:39.first. Let's speak now to our political

:04:40. > :04:41.correspondent, Leila Nathoo, who's in Westminster

:04:42. > :04:49.for us this morning. What can you tell us about these

:04:50. > :04:54.cabinet splits? These proposals are designed to counter any suggestions

:04:55. > :04:58.there are splits in government. It is designed to show a united front

:04:59. > :05:04.and outlined their thinking. It counters suggestions the government

:05:05. > :05:08.has been unprepared in any way to face these talks. This issue of the

:05:09. > :05:14.transitional period has been something very visibly split in the

:05:15. > :05:19.government. Now we know the cabinet is united on this interim

:05:20. > :05:24.arrangement which the government wants to see similar in a customs

:05:25. > :05:28.way to what we have now. But a lot of critics of the government will

:05:29. > :05:33.say it is having the cake and eating it. That is because there is little

:05:34. > :05:42.proposal among those paper that the government wants to see. They are

:05:43. > :05:46.not allowed to do this if they are members of the custom union as it

:05:47. > :05:53.down to hour stands now. This is designed to reassure business.

:05:54. > :05:58.Labour is saying it does not go far enough and it is incoherent. They

:05:59. > :06:02.say we should stay in the customs union if we want frictionless trade.

:06:03. > :06:05.As with everything, we have to see this as two sides of the

:06:06. > :06:10.negotiation. This is the government's thinking. Negotiations

:06:11. > :06:16.resume at the end of August with Brussels. We will find out how they

:06:17. > :06:23.take it at the end of the month. Thank you very much indeed. And

:06:24. > :06:25.we'll be speaking to the Brexit Secretary David Davis later in the

:06:26. > :06:26.programme. That's at 7:50. Mudslides and floods in Sierra Leone

:06:27. > :06:30.are now known to have killed more than 300 people on the outskirts

:06:31. > :06:32.of the capital, Freetown. Thousands more have been forced

:06:33. > :06:35.to flee from their homes. Government officials have warned

:06:36. > :06:38.the number of casualties is expected to rise, with hundreds of bodies

:06:39. > :06:41.thought to be still trapped under While some stare in stunned silence

:06:42. > :06:52.at what is left of their home, others, with their bare hands,

:06:53. > :07:00.are still searching and hoping. But the grim reality

:07:01. > :07:02.is that beneath the tons of

:07:03. > :07:05.mud, many more lives and homes lay. This man says he has lost all eight

:07:06. > :07:09.members of his family. Then I started hearing

:07:10. > :07:44.other people crying. Many died in bed. It is an

:07:45. > :07:46.overpopulated town where many sharks were crushed by the force of the

:07:47. > :07:49.mud. The Red Cross estimates up to 3000

:07:50. > :07:52.people have lost their homes. Those that aren't

:07:53. > :07:54.completely destroyed our This is a city well used to heavy

:07:55. > :08:03.rains, but the scale of the damage Many roads and towns

:08:04. > :08:10.are either cut off or The challenge for rescuers is simply

:08:11. > :08:14.trying to reach those who are still trapped,

:08:15. > :08:24.awaiting supplies of food Greg Dawson, BBC News. At 8:20,

:08:25. > :08:28.we'll be speaking to a relief worker who is in Freetown about the latest

:08:29. > :08:31.on the rescue efforts there. You can see, as we were saying that, they

:08:32. > :08:43.are pretty distressing scenes. Kim Jong-un has been briefed

:08:44. > :08:46.by the country's military leaders on how they could fulfil his threat to

:08:47. > :08:50.fire missiles near the American island of Guam in the Pacific.

:08:51. > :08:54.According to North Korea state media, the report said he would now

:08:55. > :08:59.watch US actions before making a decision. Last week, tensions

:09:00. > :09:02.escalated when Pyongyang threatened to fire for missiles into the sea

:09:03. > :09:03.off Guam. The "fat but fit" theory that

:09:04. > :09:06.overweight people can still be healthy is nothing but a myth,

:09:07. > :09:09.according to researchers from two Scientists found that carrying extra

:09:10. > :09:12.weight can increase the risk of heart disease by more

:09:13. > :09:15.than a quarter, even in people Our health correspondent,

:09:22. > :09:23.classified as obese. But try telling them

:09:24. > :09:25.they are not fit. I am happy and comfortable

:09:26. > :09:27.at around 18 stone. I basically have no

:09:28. > :09:31.reason to lose weight. I'm fit, healthy, I've been

:09:32. > :09:34.down this gym every day Excess body fat is linked to high

:09:35. > :09:45.blood sugar and cholesterol. But some claim overweight people

:09:46. > :09:52.can still be healthy. New research from Cambridge

:09:53. > :09:56.University suggests that, even if a blood test

:09:57. > :09:58.is within the normal range, excess weight is

:09:59. > :10:00.still a health risk. It linked people with BMIs of over

:10:01. > :10:04.25 to an estimated increased risk of heart disease of 26%-28%,

:10:05. > :10:06.compared to those with At the beginning of the study,

:10:07. > :10:18.they were classified as healthy. Then they became unhealthy,

:10:19. > :10:21.and eventually some of them developed heart disease

:10:22. > :10:26.and heart attack. Researchers believe excess fat may

:10:27. > :10:28.store health problems for the future, and getting down

:10:29. > :10:31.to a healthy weight, whatever your sport,

:10:32. > :10:38.is vitally important. We will talk about that later on BBC

:11:43. > :11:45.has followed that tradition. India continues as a functioning

:11:46. > :11:48.democracy. Not many believed that would happen, thinking it would

:11:49. > :11:51.disintegrate after independence because it is so diverse. The Prime

:11:52. > :11:56.Minister talked about the achievements of India, one of the

:11:57. > :12:02.world's fastest growing economies, 7.5 trillion dollar economy. But it

:12:03. > :12:10.still faces conflict over Kashmir and with China and he referred to a

:12:11. > :12:16.tragedy last week in which 60 people died in hospital, talking about how

:12:17. > :12:24.despite the achievements they have, it still falls short in many areas.

:13:52. > :13:58.week, the judge threw out his lawsuit, saying that the DJ had not

:13:59. > :14:02.proven anything had happened. The jury sided with the pop star. She

:14:56. > :15:01.It is 20 years since the Premier League started. We will look at how

:15:02. > :15:18.things have changed. For Liverpool it is incredibly

:15:19. > :15:25.frustrating, because the star man, Coutinho, have had his head turned

:15:26. > :15:29.by a huge offer from Barcelona. He doesn't want to lose his leading

:15:30. > :15:33.man. If you were filming a blockbuster movie, when filming

:15:34. > :15:37.starts, you wouldn't suddenly have your leading star taken out of the

:15:38. > :15:42.equation three weeks after filming has started. That is how he feels

:15:43. > :15:46.with the Premier league. The transfer window closes three weeks

:15:47. > :15:50.after the season has started. So you want to go in there with all of your

:15:51. > :15:55.star players and he will potentially lose when this early on. And even if

:15:56. > :15:57.they cash in they don't have a lot of time to spend the money.

:15:58. > :16:00.Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, says he has "nothing to say"

:16:01. > :16:04.Liverpool travel to German side Hoffenheim for their first leg

:16:05. > :16:05.qualifying play-off in the Champions League,

:16:06. > :16:07.but Coutinho hasn't travelled with the squad.

:16:08. > :16:10.The midfielder put in a transfer request last week, just days

:16:11. > :16:14.after Barcelona's ?90 million bid for him was rejected.

:16:15. > :16:18.Diego Costa has been told by Chelsea that he must return to the club

:16:19. > :16:20.before they will grant his wish for a transfer.

:16:21. > :16:23.The striker was fined yesterday for failing to report for pre-season

:16:24. > :16:33.Costa has described his treatment by Chelsea like that of a

:16:37. > :16:40.Police have received complaints over Hibernian manager Neil Lennon's

:16:41. > :16:43.celebrations during his side's win over Rangers at the weekend.

:16:44. > :16:45.They are also investigating "offensive and threatening comments"

:17:05. > :17:11.I can't believe how quickly the US Open has rolled around. It only

:17:12. > :17:16.seems like yesterday we had Wimbledon, doesn't it? You can't

:17:17. > :17:21.argue with more sport, I think it is good. We are having a look at the

:17:22. > :17:28.papers this morning. We mention this yesterday. Big Ben has gone quiet

:17:29. > :17:32.for a whole four years, and it is all down to health and safety, to do

:17:33. > :17:37.with protecting people's hearing that were working on it. Lots of MPs

:17:38. > :17:41.very concerned. You would think they might have realised this beforehand,

:17:42. > :17:47.but very concerned that Big Ben will be quiet, and a backlash over

:17:48. > :17:53.silencing of Big Ben is on the front page of the Daily Telegraph as well.

:17:54. > :17:59.In the picture is of an explorer and TV performer who said he would walk

:18:00. > :18:05.back to Sudan Jeremy Corbyn became prime minister. He was talking about

:18:06. > :18:09.following the general election from the Caucasus Mountains. So that is

:18:10. > :18:18.from the front page of the Daily Telegraph. And this is about a court

:18:19. > :18:22.case, a cyclist who killed a mother after hitting her on a race bike

:18:23. > :18:32.with no break. Lots of newspapers covering that this morning. -- no

:18:33. > :18:36.brake. Sir Philip Green blasted after taking part in a champagne

:18:37. > :18:40.shower while on holiday. And that the EU could block trade deals for

:18:41. > :18:45.three years. This is about the Brexit transition which we have been

:18:46. > :18:51.talking about, and will be talking about with David Davis. And Donald

:18:52. > :18:54.Trump finally condemns white supremacists, after a few days of

:18:55. > :18:59.saying there have been issues on both sides. We will be talking more

:19:00. > :19:03.about the customs union and what it means for businesses. That is in a

:19:04. > :19:07.lot of the papers, in the Financial Times. We have talked a lot about

:19:08. > :19:11.the jobs market and flexible working and about what can be done to get

:19:12. > :19:16.more diversity in workplaces, and there is a story in the Telegraph

:19:17. > :19:20.this morning. It basically talks about how they should be more jobs

:19:21. > :19:23.advertised as flexible working according to the equality and human

:19:24. > :19:29.rights commission. It says progress on pay gaps has been painfully slow,

:19:30. > :19:34.and this is a proposal, one of the suggestions of the commission, to

:19:35. > :19:38.address pay gaps especially affecting women. They say all jobs

:19:39. > :19:42.should be advertised as available for flexible working. It is hard to

:19:43. > :19:47.see how that would work in practice with a lot of jobs. And this is

:19:48. > :19:54.interesting. Do you ever put emojis on your work e-mails? On text

:19:55. > :19:59.messages, very rarely on an e-mail. They say put a smiley face emoji on

:20:00. > :20:04.your e-mail and it is likely to make your work mates unhappy, because

:20:05. > :20:08.they think you are in competent if you include a emoji. Only because I

:20:09. > :20:16.don't know where to find them. We are speaking later to Adam Gemili.

:20:17. > :20:21.Despite Team GB hitting their medal target, interesting comments from

:20:22. > :20:26.Michael Johnson, I think we have come to respect his comments as he

:20:27. > :20:30.has been working for the BBC and he says that actually the number of

:20:31. > :20:33.medals won that is something of a concern following the investment

:20:34. > :20:37.they put in. He thinks with ?27 million of funding they should have

:20:38. > :20:44.had a better return with regards to millions, and how you assess

:20:45. > :20:47.success. He said that it is something of a concerned and he

:20:48. > :20:53.doesn't think there is enough strength and depth. And two of those

:20:54. > :20:58.came from Mo Farah, and he is retiring. Exactly, and a lot of

:20:59. > :21:11.fourth places, and interesting to hear that criticism. We were talking

:21:12. > :21:15.about white moose yesterday, and here are some white dogs. I was

:21:16. > :21:20.blending these stories in. Lots of white animals. I wanted the

:21:21. > :21:25.daughters who had been given a kiss of life, but never mind. Here is the

:21:26. > :21:29.weather. Good morning. For some of us are pretty wet start to the day.

:21:30. > :21:32.Some rain to come in the south-eastern parts of Scotland but

:21:33. > :21:36.that will clear and for most of us, not just this morning but into the

:21:37. > :21:40.afternoon as well, it will be a day of sunshine and showers. We have had

:21:41. > :21:43.overnight rain and you can see it rattling towards the east and the

:21:44. > :21:47.North. Behind it, things are clearing up rather nicely with some

:21:48. > :21:51.sunshine coming through. But there could be some thunder, for example,

:21:52. > :21:54.in Kent this morning from this band of rain which is continuing to move

:21:55. > :21:57.into the North Sea. The south-west England, for Wales, into the

:21:58. > :22:02.Midlands, drifting eastwards. A dry start. We are looking at 8am, not

:22:03. > :22:06.the current time, and it is the same as we push further north in the

:22:07. > :22:10.northern England. There are one or two showers dotted here and there.

:22:11. > :22:14.One or two showers in Northern Ireland but a fair bit of sunshine,

:22:15. > :22:17.and drying up nicely except where in Aberdeenshire and Angus there is

:22:18. > :22:21.some rain and that is sweeping north eastwards into the Northern Isles as

:22:22. > :22:24.we go through the rest of the morning. So through the morning we

:22:25. > :22:27.lose the rain from most eastern areas, then it really is sunshine

:22:28. > :22:30.and showers. The showers are going to be less frequent today crossed

:22:31. > :22:34.Northern Ireland, northern England and Scotland. Some of those could be

:22:35. > :22:38.heavy and thundery. Later we could see one or two pop up in East Anglia

:22:39. > :22:42.and Kent but most will mist them, and highs could be 25 or 26 in the

:22:43. > :22:46.far south-east. In the sunshine that will feel rather pleasant. Most of

:22:47. > :22:49.the showers fade through the evening period into the overnight period as

:22:50. > :22:54.well. A lot of dry weather, some clear skies, a chilly night than the

:22:55. > :22:57.one just gone but by the end of the night we have the next system

:22:58. > :23:02.waiting in the winds to bring some rain. And stronger wind tomorrow,

:23:03. > :23:06.courtesy of this area of low pressure. You can see from the

:23:07. > :23:09.squeeze on the ice above that it will be fairly windy, and with

:23:10. > :23:13.exposure on the coasts we will see gusty winds as well. And here comes

:23:14. > :23:17.the rain moving in, drifting eastwards. But look at this progress

:23:18. > :23:22.across England and Wales. Not very fast at all so far most of England

:23:23. > :23:25.and Wales we will have a dry and fine day, especially the further

:23:26. > :23:30.east that you do travel. So that all moves across us through the course

:23:31. > :23:34.of the night, Wednesday into Thursday. We will have the dregs of

:23:35. > :23:38.it in the east first thing in the morning. That clears away and we are

:23:39. > :23:41.looking at a day of sunshine and showers. The showers will be happy

:23:42. > :23:45.but if you are out the showers and in the sunshine will feel quite

:23:46. > :23:49.pleasant. Again temperatures pretty respectable for the time of year.

:23:50. > :23:53.Down a few degrees for some of us, highs of 23 or 24 as we push into

:23:54. > :23:58.the south-eastern corner. 1819 across the north and the north-west.

:23:59. > :24:02.Then as we head into Friday it is more of the same. We are looking at

:24:03. > :24:06.a day of sunshine and showers, and with the temperatures coming down it

:24:07. > :24:10.will feel that it cooler, with highs up to 21. Thank you very much,

:24:11. > :24:14.plenty more from Carol throughout the morning. Before we went to Carol

:24:15. > :24:18.I was saying we would show you some pictures of what they claimed were

:24:19. > :24:22.light dogs, but they are not dogs. They are actually little light lie

:24:23. > :24:27.and clubs which I maybe should have read before show you the picture.

:24:28. > :24:34.And they are in a safari park in Crimea. Confirmation, not dogs, in

:24:35. > :24:36.fact, they are lions. I will not be doing that again.

:24:37. > :24:38.You might get on really well with your family,

:24:39. > :24:41.but could you work with them every single day?

:24:42. > :24:43.This week, Steph is taking a look at family businesses,

:24:44. > :24:47.and what it takes to make them a success.

:24:48. > :24:56.We are a family, aren't we? It is something we are looking at this

:24:57. > :25:00.week. It is interesting, because as I was saying yesterday there are

:25:01. > :25:05.around 5 million family businesses. So I went to meet a father and son

:25:06. > :25:09.who run a massive recruitment business. A lot of people might not

:25:10. > :25:13.realise it is actually a family business. So the sun is taking over

:25:14. > :25:15.from the father, James Reid taking over from Alex Reid. I went to find

:25:16. > :25:26.out how they are getting on. So how important was it for you to

:25:27. > :25:29.have someone in the family take on the business? Well, if it is going

:25:30. > :25:34.to be a family business, someone in the family, next generation, has to

:25:35. > :25:37.come into it. I said if you get the Sunday Times next week you will see

:25:38. > :25:41.your job advertised, and that sort of focused his mind, and he applied

:25:42. > :25:47.for it and got it. Really, so you had to apply for the job? Well, yes.

:25:48. > :25:52.I think there was an interview with Mr Reed. It was a joke in the

:25:53. > :25:57.family. A 30 year interview. I joined the business. When he said

:25:58. > :26:02.come and join me, I found that a bit daunting, to be honest. Because

:26:03. > :26:06.these are big shoes to fill. And I didn't want to mess it up. As we

:26:07. > :26:12.have a good relationship. Family is important to us both. He thought he

:26:13. > :26:18.would not get a pay rise that he was enjoying it. Negotiation is

:26:19. > :26:22.important, even in families. Where does all your negotiation happen,

:26:23. > :26:27.then? Does it happen at home core or in the office? Is very hard to know

:26:28. > :26:33.where work ends and family begins in a family business. It is not clear

:26:34. > :26:36.at all. We always talking about business and sometimes we have to

:26:37. > :26:40.zip it because it is a family function. And we are both very

:26:41. > :26:44.interested in it, so we're both very happy to talk about business. What

:26:45. > :26:48.do you think the key is the running successful family business, Sir

:26:49. > :26:53.Alec? I think success is as easy as pie. It is passion, it is ideas, it

:26:54. > :26:58.is energy. I am running out of energy. So how important is it for

:26:59. > :27:03.you to keep the business in the family? Well, succession in the

:27:04. > :27:08.family business is one of the hardest things. And I think it is

:27:09. > :27:14.hard going from second to third generation. They say clogs to clogs

:27:15. > :27:17.in three generations. It has got to be right for the individual and it

:27:18. > :27:21.has got to be right for the business. The best family businesses

:27:22. > :27:24.are very true to their values, and are consistent with their families

:27:25. > :27:29.and are clear about what they are. We had a piece of research which

:27:30. > :27:34.said that 80% of people would prefer to work with a family business, and

:27:35. > :27:38.also prefer to do business as a customer. If your chief executive is

:27:39. > :27:43.changing, the character can change, and so can the character of the

:27:44. > :27:45.company. But with a family, it is constant. And what about your

:27:46. > :27:51.relationship? How has that developed? What I would say is, and

:27:52. > :27:55.I think this is entirely to my father's credit, when I joined the

:27:56. > :27:58.business, he would ask me my opinion and then he would make the decision.

:27:59. > :28:03.And seamlessly over a 10-year period, that would change. I would

:28:04. > :28:07.ask his opinion and I would make the decision. And I don't know how that

:28:08. > :28:12.happened, quite. Sometimes you make a decision without asking me. I make

:28:13. > :28:17.a lot these days! But, you know, it is important to me that he is

:28:18. > :28:21.supportive, because it is a family business. But we have never worked

:28:22. > :28:25.in the same room, you know, so we have given each other quite a bit of

:28:26. > :28:31.space. Hardly the same building. He rang me up the today and said I

:28:32. > :28:35.don't know you are. I said I am 54. Let go!

:28:36. > :28:42.And they get on really well. And we have had a load of people sending

:28:43. > :28:51.pictures of their family businesses. Shall we have a look at some of

:28:52. > :28:55.them? We have team from Haslemere Bookshop.

:28:56. > :28:58.There is a mum and daughter and a husband and wife

:28:59. > :29:06.If you work in a family business, get in touch to tell us how

:29:07. > :29:14.It is lovely hearing about them all. And you always assume that it might

:29:15. > :29:16.be difficult, but it seems that it really works for some people. Thank

:29:17. > :32:36.you very much. I'm back with the latest

:45:11. > :45:15.up with them later on. What do you think about grassroots hockey? How

:45:16. > :45:20.was it improving so well? It is definitely improving. We came from

:45:21. > :45:24.the grassroots. That is where it started, literally, for me, on the

:45:25. > :45:30.grass. It is important to support the club. That is where amazing

:45:31. > :45:35.volunteers are keeping the sport going. That is where hockey grows.

:45:36. > :45:40.How high do you have to train to do hockey? That is the great thing

:45:41. > :45:46.about it. You can do it at any level. If you want to be the very

:45:47. > :45:50.best, the elite, there is a lot of training you can do. But you can

:45:51. > :45:53.have fun and just socialise and have some drinks afterwards. You can do

:45:54. > :45:59.that as well. Thank you very much for joining us. I will quickly go

:46:00. > :46:00.over here. You can see some of the children taking part at a grassroots

:46:01. > :46:11.level. We will catch up with that letter,

:46:12. > :46:16.and we will see just why they are so interested in hockey. Back to you.

:46:17. > :46:21.Thank you very much. It is lovely to see everyone so early, playing

:46:22. > :46:25.hockey, as well. You can't interrupter hockey match by shoving

:46:26. > :46:31.a microphone in someone's face. I was never very good at it, but it

:46:32. > :46:38.was such a fast game. He was a bit scared by it. Kate Richardson-Walsh

:46:39. > :46:41.actually got a hockey stick in the face back in 2012, dangerous!

:46:42. > :46:46.Here is Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

:46:47. > :46:53.Some rain is clearing Kent at the moment. If you are in Kamte might be

:46:54. > :46:55.able to hear or see some of the thunderstorms across the English

:46:56. > :46:58.Channel. They are fairly spectacular. When the rain clears

:46:59. > :47:02.Kent in the north-east of Scotland, all of us are in for a day of

:47:03. > :47:08.sunshine and some showers. Now, you can see what I was talking about. We

:47:09. > :47:12.have the rain in the south-east, some of that is heavy. The rain

:47:13. > :47:15.pushing across Scotland at the moment, and behind that some clearer

:47:16. > :47:19.skies. Some of us starting the day with and sunshine, but slowest to

:47:20. > :47:21.clear away from the east of Scotland, clearing Shetland last. So

:47:22. > :47:25.are the south-west England this morning a beautiful start to the

:47:26. > :47:29.day. A lot of sunshine around. It is not cold. 18 Celsius, and you can

:47:30. > :47:33.see what we have left of the rain at 8am across the south-east, with the

:47:34. > :47:37.remnants of some cloud as well. For the Midlands into Wales, northern

:47:38. > :47:39.England, a lot of dry weather. A few showers in northern England, a few

:47:40. > :47:49.showers in Northern Ireland, but most of us will have a dry start and

:47:50. > :47:53.most of Scotland will also be dry, barring a few showers, and the rain

:47:54. > :47:56.continuing to drift north eastwards. So through the day the likely areas

:47:57. > :47:59.for the heaviest showers are going to be Scotland, northern England and

:48:00. > :48:03.Northern Ireland. Some of those could be thundery, but we will not

:48:04. > :48:06.all see one. We could catch one in the south-east through the course of

:48:07. > :48:09.the afternoon. The temperatures could get up to 26 Celsius through

:48:10. > :48:12.parts of East Anglia and Kent. Yesterday it was 25 in Gravesend.

:48:13. > :48:17.Through the evening and overnight most of the showers will tend to

:48:18. > :48:20.fade. It will be a cooler nights on the night just gone, under clear

:48:21. > :48:23.skies. By the end of the night, the wind strengthening, the cloud

:48:24. > :48:27.building and rain coming in from the west. This is courtesy of an area of

:48:28. > :48:30.low pressure with it attendant fronts, and if you look at the

:48:31. > :48:34.squeeze on the isobars that tells you it will be a blustery day. Windy

:48:35. > :48:38.in the Irish Sea and western exposures, touching gale force. In

:48:39. > :48:41.that it will just be gusty. The rain will come in from the west, moving

:48:42. > :48:44.eastwards, across Northern Ireland into Scotland, getting into northern

:48:45. > :48:48.England, parts of Wales in south-west England. Look at this

:48:49. > :48:53.slow progress for much of the west of England and East Wales. It will

:48:54. > :48:56.be a dry day and there will be some sunshine around. Temperatures down a

:48:57. > :49:02.notch or two but nonetheless not too bad at all. 2223 but it will feel

:49:03. > :49:05.cooler in the wind and the rain. As we head from Wednesday into

:49:06. > :49:12.Thursday, overnight that band of rain pushing through -- 22 or 23.

:49:13. > :49:16.Behind the rain, we are back into another day of sunshine and showers.

:49:17. > :49:20.Those showers are very hit and miss. Some of us will catch them in some

:49:21. > :49:25.of us will not see anything, and sticking with the dry day and some

:49:26. > :49:28.sunshine. With the sunshine it will feel pleasant enough. Highs in

:49:29. > :49:30.Manchester at 21, Aberdeen 19, and highs of 24 as we slipped down

:49:31. > :49:48.towards the south-east. And we are looking at a baby box.

:49:49. > :49:51.The boxes are being delivered to expectant mothers. All sorts of

:49:52. > :49:57.things, like these are rather expensive. Infrared ear

:49:58. > :50:03.thermometers. A bathroom thermometer, play mats, all sorts of

:50:04. > :50:08.toys and whites. Nappies, blankets... All sorts of really

:50:09. > :50:14.useful things, as well as, of course, books as well. In the plan

:50:15. > :50:18.is the box itself can be used as an alternative cot. We are speaking to

:50:19. > :50:22.somebody who knows all about this sort of thing in a moment, first

:50:23. > :50:33.let's see what Lorna Gordon has to say about it all.

:50:34. > :50:36.A first look at a Scottish baby box for these mothers and mothers-to-be.

:50:37. > :50:38.From today, all expectant mothers in Scotland will receive

:50:39. > :50:43.It doubles as a crib, and contains dozens of the essential

:50:44. > :50:52.As first-time parents, I think we're probably

:50:53. > :50:58.It's good to know they have covered everything that we will need

:50:59. > :51:03.I really like the idea of it being a safe sleeping

:51:04. > :51:06.space, and probably for use in the day than at night-time,

:51:07. > :51:08.for bedding down, for naps during the day.

:51:09. > :51:11.More than 50,000 baby boxes will be handed out every year.

:51:12. > :51:14.As well as plenty of practical items, they will also include advice

:51:15. > :51:16.on safe sleeping environments for a newborn child,

:51:17. > :51:19.and the scheme will be monitored to see whether it helps

:51:20. > :51:24.One of the causes of cot death is actually when parents share

:51:25. > :51:37.And that may be because there isn't somewhere else

:51:38. > :51:42.So we think that this box providing us with an alternative safe place

:51:43. > :51:44.to sleep may in fact reduce the rates

:51:45. > :51:50.At ?160 per box, concerns have been raised that offering one

:51:51. > :51:53.to all new parents, regardless of need, might not be the best use

:51:54. > :51:57.The Scottish Government says every child should have the best start

:51:58. > :52:02.in life, no matter what their circumstances.

:52:03. > :52:10.Let's get some more information. Good morning to you. First of all,

:52:11. > :52:17.on the box itself, did you welcome its? Is it good news? For us, we are

:52:18. > :52:21.just really excited to see the valuation of these Oxus, and to

:52:22. > :52:27.assess whether there is an impact, and whether parents understand more

:52:28. > :52:31.about safe sleep messages. It will be interesting to see what happens.

:52:32. > :52:35.It will be interesting, like you say, to follow that through and

:52:36. > :52:40.gather information on it but there is no proven link, is there, between

:52:41. > :52:45.using these boxes, wherever it is, and reduction of cot deaths. There

:52:46. > :52:50.is no evidence based around the use of boxes for baby sleeping, and that

:52:51. > :52:56.is why it an important opportunity to build that evidence base that we

:52:57. > :53:02.don't currently have. To your mind, what is still the best way of

:53:03. > :53:06.reducing cot death incidences. Well, the safest place for a baby to sleep

:53:07. > :53:18.is in a cot, create or basket. But there are many factors -- cot, crib,

:53:19. > :53:22.or basket. Other decision-making factors, like whether parents are

:53:23. > :53:26.drinking alcohol or using drugs, either prescribed drugs or illegal

:53:27. > :53:31.drugs, these will all affect decision-making about where they

:53:32. > :53:36.place their baby to sleep. I didn't mean to jump in there, would you

:53:37. > :53:40.think, then, that because this is an opt in scheme, that maybe some of

:53:41. > :53:44.the more vulnerable mothers actually might miss out, the ones who might

:53:45. > :53:49.benefit the most? Absolutely not. It is a scheme that is open to

:53:50. > :53:53.everyone, and it will be brought up during antenatal appointments. That

:53:54. > :53:57.discussion with a health professional. I think the fact that

:53:58. > :54:01.these boxes are being made available to everyone takes away the stigma.

:54:02. > :54:05.So not everyone has to sign up for it if someone feels they don't need

:54:06. > :54:09.the box, for whatever reason, they don't need to sign up for it, but it

:54:10. > :54:13.is being made available to everyone to reduce that stigma, so that,

:54:14. > :54:17.regardless of circumstance, we may think that someone lives in an

:54:18. > :54:20.affluent area, it doesn't mean that they necessarily have everything

:54:21. > :54:23.they need for their baby, just because of where they live or what

:54:24. > :54:28.they perceived income is. Good to talk to you this morning, thank you

:54:29. > :54:34.very much. If you have a view on that, do let us know this morning.

:54:35. > :54:37.It is one of the big questions when it comes to Brexit -

:54:38. > :54:40.will the UK stay part of the customs union?

:54:41. > :54:43.That is the agreement between EU members that allows goods to flow

:54:44. > :54:47.Today, we will have the first glimpse of a real answer

:54:48. > :54:50.But will it reassure British businesses concerned

:54:51. > :54:59.Steph joins us now to explain this in more detail.

:55:00. > :55:01.What is the customs union, and what risks does it pose

:55:02. > :55:13.You will hear loads of these phrases talked about. Essentially it is all

:55:14. > :55:23.about the goods that we trade around the world.

:55:24. > :55:26.A customs union is a trade deal between two or more countries,

:55:27. > :55:30.where they agree not to charge each other any taxes when they buy

:55:31. > :55:34.The idea is to make it easier to trade.

:55:35. > :55:37.However, goods from other countries outside of the union are charged,

:55:38. > :55:40.and no matter which country they're going to within the union,

:55:41. > :55:47.they will be charged the same tariffs.

:55:48. > :55:54.So if you are selling something to France or Italy, it will be charged

:55:55. > :55:54.the same tariff no matter where it is going to.

:55:55. > :55:57.Often, these customs unions also mean that individual countries

:55:58. > :56:00.within it are not allowed to do their own deals with countries

:56:01. > :56:04.So, if we were to leave, there would be border controls

:56:05. > :56:06.and checks in place, from the day we are out

:56:07. > :56:21.So it is all about this agreement of trade between each other, and what

:56:22. > :56:25.they could impose on us if we left. That is what the UK is trying to do,

:56:26. > :56:30.to make it the easiest possible for businesses. You have already

:56:31. > :56:30.indicated this will be a delicate balance.

:56:31. > :56:33.The Government is talking about a temporary customs union,

:56:34. > :56:36.we still don't know how long for, but is this good news

:56:37. > :56:42.They want a transition period. The day we leave the EU, they don't want

:56:43. > :56:46.businesses to face a cliff edge where they are suddenly charged a

:56:47. > :56:50.load of money for trying to sell their goods. Which is what the

:56:51. > :56:54.Chancellor has been worried about. Yes, because that could increase

:56:55. > :56:56.inflation in the UK, it could cause real problems.

:56:57. > :56:59.This follows a letter from Philip Hammond and Liam Fox

:57:00. > :57:01.in the Sunday Telegraph in which they were calling

:57:02. > :57:03.for a time-limited interim period for transition,

:57:04. > :57:06.but stressing that the UK will be outside the European market

:57:07. > :57:22.If it wants something close to the customs union for the transition, it

:57:23. > :57:25.can't negotiate deals with other countries in other parts of the

:57:26. > :57:29.world. Firstly, there is a legal problem. So long as you are part of

:57:30. > :57:33.or close to the EU's Customs union, the rules do not allow you to strike

:57:34. > :57:37.Iran trade agreements. Secondly there is a practical point. The

:57:38. > :57:41.other countries like Canada, America and New Zealand, don't want to

:57:42. > :57:45.negotiate until they know what the UK's future relationship with the EU

:57:46. > :57:49.will look like. They will have to wait some time until they know the

:57:50. > :57:54.answer. And briefly, two different scenarios are proposed. First is to

:57:55. > :57:59.with the bureaucracy, the red tape that businesses will take when they

:58:00. > :58:03.leave. They want a streamlined process so that businesses don't

:58:04. > :58:07.have two fill a lot of forms, and border checks and things on any

:58:08. > :58:11.goods they are selling to and from these countries. That is one option,

:58:12. > :58:15.but it doesn't include services. It doesn't include financial services,

:58:16. > :58:20.which is a big thing that we trade in this country. The second idea is

:58:21. > :58:24.a new customs partnership, so creating our own customs partnership

:58:25. > :58:29.with the EU. But of course, you know, all of this needs agreement in

:58:30. > :58:37.Brussels. It is really complicated and there are no other deals that

:58:38. > :58:41.the UK has with any other country. It has to please everyone, which is

:58:42. > :58:47.the tricky bit. And this is not the end of the story, by any means. I

:58:48. > :58:49.will be grey and old by the time this is done.

:58:50. > :02:13.Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

:02:14. > :02:21.Now, though, it is back to Louise and Dan.

:02:22. > :02:24.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker

:02:25. > :02:26.Ministers set out their trade plans for life after Brexit,

:02:27. > :02:29.including a temporary customs union with the EU.

:02:30. > :02:31.But critics say the proposals are incoherent and inadequate

:02:32. > :02:51.and an attempt to paper over cracks in the Cabinet.

:02:52. > :02:53.Good morning, it's Tuesday the 15th of August.

:02:54. > :02:56.More than 300 people have been killed and many

:02:57. > :02:59.more feared buried after heavy floods and mudslides hit the capital

:03:00. > :03:08.The singer Taylor Swift wins a court case against the DJ

:03:09. > :03:11.who groped her and is awarded a symbolic $1 in damages.

:03:12. > :03:15.Could you run a business with your mam or dad?

:03:16. > :03:18.This week I'm talking to companies who keep it in the family,

:03:19. > :03:21.finding out how they tick and what it's like to work

:03:22. > :03:25.In sport, Liverpool begin their quest to qualify for this

:03:26. > :03:27.season's Champions League, but manager Jurgen Klopp

:03:28. > :03:29.is without star man Phillipe Coutinho for tonight's

:03:30. > :03:33.first leg in Germany and says he has nothing to add on the player's

:03:34. > :03:46.I've been down to this gym every day for the last 20 years

:03:47. > :03:48.and have never had a day off.

:03:55. > :03:56.increase your risk of a heart attack by around a quarter.

:03:57. > :03:59.We will talk to a GP about that shortly.

:04:00. > :04:08.Rain clearing from the east of the country, clearing Shetland last then

:04:09. > :04:11.sunshine and showers for everyone, the heaviest will be in Scotland,

:04:12. > :04:14.Northern Ireland and northern England. More details in 15 minutes.

:04:15. > :04:20.The government is pushing for a temporary customs union to be

:04:21. > :04:23.put in place when Britain leaves the European Union to try to smooth

:04:24. > :04:31.the way for business and prevent chaos on the UK's borders.

:04:32. > :04:34.There've been warnings about the extra pressure ports

:04:35. > :04:37.could be under if they face an increase in red tape

:04:38. > :04:40.and bureaucracy for goods coming in and out of the country.

:04:41. > :04:41.Today, the government's publishing its proposals,

:04:42. > :04:44.the first in what are being called future partnership papers

:04:45. > :04:47.to try to ensure an orderly exit from the EU.

:04:48. > :04:49.Our correspondent, Adam Fleming, reports.

:04:50. > :04:53.How to keep goods flowing easily between the UK and places like this,

:04:54. > :05:01.Europe's second busiest port, Antwerp?

:05:02. > :05:03.Ministers will say it's with a temporary deal that looks

:05:04. > :05:05.a lot like the current one.

:05:06. > :05:08.The EU has one external border for the import of goods from abroad.

:05:09. > :05:11.If import taxes known as tariffs are paid,

:05:12. > :05:15.they're paid when the product enters that area.

:05:16. > :05:18.It can move around countries with no further charges and very few checks.

:05:19. > :05:31.The British government wants something as similar as possible

:05:32. > :05:35.to this arrangement for a temporary period after Brexit in March, 2019.

:05:36. > :05:37.It also means products created inside the EU will remain

:05:38. > :05:42.tariff-free, crucial for British businesses from cars to drinks.

:05:43. > :05:45.We don't want is Brexit to come up against boundaries and borders

:05:46. > :05:48.with this kind of thing, whether it is bureaucratic, taxes.

:05:49. > :05:51.But how will the two sides work together further in the future?

:05:52. > :05:55.The government will propose two scenarios.

:05:56. > :06:00.as a highly streamlined customs arrangement.

:06:01. > :06:03.In plain English, using as much technology and as little red tape

:06:04. > :06:07.as possible to speed the flow of goods between the UK and the EU.

:06:08. > :06:11.The second option the government calls a new customs partnership.

:06:12. > :06:16.That would be an unprecedented deal between the EU and the UK where both

:06:17. > :06:20.sides would agree to do virtually everything the same when it came

:06:21. > :06:23.to customs, which would mean there would be no need for a border

:06:24. > :06:34.This is just the start, the UK's reflections about a border between

:06:35. > :06:36.the two in the future. Pleasing everyone at home,

:06:37. > :06:38.in Antwerp, and elsewhere The EU doesn't even want to talk

:06:39. > :06:43.about this until it has settled Let's speak now to our political

:06:44. > :06:47.correspondent, Leila Nathoo, who's in Westminster

:06:48. > :06:55.for us this morning. What can you tell us about what's

:06:56. > :07:01.being said about these divisions in Cabinet? I think this paper, this

:07:02. > :07:05.setting out of thinking is designed to dispel any notion that there are

:07:06. > :07:10.still splits in the cabinet, we've had weeks of very public divisions

:07:11. > :07:14.over this idea of a transitional deal and what we're seeing today is

:07:15. > :07:18.the product of compromise I think, an attempt to put on a united front

:07:19. > :07:22.and an attempt to outline some thinking to counter any suggestions

:07:23. > :07:25.there are divisions here in Westminster and that the government

:07:26. > :07:29.is somehow unprepared for these negotiations but I think in the main

:07:30. > :07:33.it's also designed to reassure business that there will be no cliff

:07:34. > :07:37.edge, no change in rules at the moment Brexit so we're going to get

:07:38. > :07:40.this interim period where nothing much will change. But this idea that

:07:41. > :07:46.in customs terms we'll have something that basically amounts to

:07:47. > :07:49.we have now as members of the customs union but the government

:07:50. > :07:53.says with this crucial ability to negotiate our own trade deals with

:07:54. > :07:56.other countries around the world, that's something that's forbidden in

:07:57. > :08:00.the current arrangements and that to its critics looks very much like

:08:01. > :08:04.wishful thinking. Labour saying these are incoherent, inadequate

:08:05. > :08:07.proposals at hiding all this talk about what's happening in

:08:08. > :08:11.Westminster, we have to look at what's likely to be achievable with

:08:12. > :08:15.Brussels. Brussels has been very clear, they're not going to

:08:16. > :08:20.entertain any discussions about our future relationships without a lot

:08:21. > :08:24.of progress on the withdrawal agreement, things like the divorce

:08:25. > :08:30.Bill, EU citizens' writes, and the Northern Ireland border issue. But I

:08:31. > :08:34.think this is an attempt by the government to get on the front foot

:08:35. > :08:37.to say we want to talk about the future relationship now, we will see

:08:38. > :08:44.how that goes when talks resume at the end of August. Experiment

:08:45. > :08:48.indeed, Leila. About 15 minutes ago Steph did a huge explainer about the

:08:49. > :08:50.customs union and you can watch that if you want on the iPlayer -- thanks

:08:51. > :08:51.very much indeed. And we'll be speaking

:08:52. > :08:54.to the Brexit Secretary David Davis

:08:55. > :08:56.later in the programme. Mudslides and floods in Sierra Leone

:08:57. > :09:00.are now known to have killed more than 300 people on the outskirts

:09:01. > :09:03.of the capital, Freetown. Thousands more have been forced

:09:04. > :09:06.to flee from their homes. Government officials have warned

:09:07. > :09:08.the number of casualties is expected to rise, with hundreds of bodies

:14:28. > :14:31.for joining us. We have discussed this before. What do you make of

:14:32. > :14:35.this research? They seem to find if you are carrying extra weight,

:14:36. > :14:40.thought to be of these, then this really can cause you serious heart

:14:41. > :14:46.problems. -- of peace. It's well done, it's a long study that looks

:14:47. > :14:52.and thousands of patients over many years -- obese. There are two

:14:53. > :14:59.conclusions, one is irrespective of your weight, your BMI, irrespective

:15:00. > :15:04.of that abnormal metabolic parameters, high blood pressure,

:15:05. > :15:09.high blood glucose, you are at increased risk of heart disease but

:15:10. > :15:14.conversely, and this is where your headline comes in, irrespective of

:15:15. > :15:19.those metabolic parameters. So if you've got normal blood pressure and

:15:20. > :15:23.normal glucose and normal weight circumference, if you are

:15:24. > :15:25.overweight, despite having normal parameters you are still at

:15:26. > :15:32.significantly increased risk of having a heart attack or heart

:15:33. > :15:37.disease. I think the relevance is this. Over the past two years, this

:15:38. > :15:43.growing idea that it may be possible to be a piece but the metabolically

:15:44. > :15:48.healthy, i.e. Not increase your risk of heart disease. This research is

:15:49. > :15:53.really saying that's absolutely not the case and if you are obese, even

:15:54. > :15:56.if you are doing good things like being physically active, we should

:15:57. > :15:59.encourage that, the last thing I want is for a headline like this to

:16:00. > :16:05.discourage people. Headlines like this often do that. Lots of obese

:16:06. > :16:09.people often say what is the point? If you are obese, and I know many

:16:10. > :16:12.patients like this who are physically active, they are doing

:16:13. > :16:14.lots of things to improve their health, that is a good thing but we

:16:15. > :16:24.still need to get the weight down. A lot of comments on this this

:16:25. > :16:30.morning. I will read out a few of them. What about weightlifters? They

:16:31. > :16:41.seem fit and healthy. Videos and health are not the same, -- fitness.

:16:42. > :16:48.You can be lean, fit and unhealthy if you engage in unhealthy habits,

:16:49. > :16:52.or of a train. These are all very valid points. These points always,

:16:53. > :16:58.when headlines like this come out. It depends on our definition of

:16:59. > :17:03.health. This is specifically looking at your risk of heart disease. This

:17:04. > :17:07.is not looking at joint strength, looking at other problems that

:17:08. > :17:16.happen when people are obese. It is absolute possible for someone to be

:17:17. > :17:22.of a normal weight and increase their risk of heart disease with

:17:23. > :17:26.unhealthy behaviours. In the same in reverse, you can be obese, be

:17:27. > :17:30.physically active, sleeping well, eating well, and that will be

:17:31. > :17:36.helpful. But they are saying that we need to regard obesity as a separate

:17:37. > :17:43.risk, as we do blood pressure, waste the conference and the like. What is

:17:44. > :17:47.important for the viewer is that health is accommodation of many

:17:48. > :17:51.factors. We look at these things in isolation, but if you are obese and

:17:52. > :17:55.you are engaging in lots of other good behaviours, you are likely

:17:56. > :18:01.reducing your risk. It is interesting that it comes back to

:18:02. > :18:06.refocus on weight again. Absolutely. It really comes on this background,

:18:07. > :18:11.the idea has been growing in momentum that you may be able to be

:18:12. > :18:16.obese and not increase your risk of heart disease. This is saying a firm

:18:17. > :18:20.no to that idea. The key there is that you don't want to discourage

:18:21. > :18:28.people who are continuing to make efforts. Absolutely, very important.

:18:29. > :18:33.Let us know what you think. You can find us across social media. We have

:18:34. > :18:37.a nice and healthy debate on Facebook as well. A good way to put

:18:38. > :18:40.it. Healthy. Here's Carol with a look

:18:41. > :18:47.at this morning's weather. We've got some rain pushing out of

:18:48. > :18:53.Kent, clearing the north-east of Scotland. A mix of sunshine and some

:18:54. > :18:58.showers today. Heavy showers in the north, isolated as we push further

:18:59. > :19:02.south. You can see the rain at the moment across Kent and parts of east

:19:03. > :19:07.Anglia. Some really big thunderstorms across the streets of

:19:08. > :19:11.Dover. Rain continuing north-east across Scotland. Eventually clearing

:19:12. > :19:17.the mainland and continuing across the northern islands. Away from is a

:19:18. > :19:22.dry start. Beautiful for some of us, not too cold. Lovely across

:19:23. > :19:26.south-west England, Wales, into the Midlands. Running into cloud across

:19:27. > :19:31.the south-east with the remnants of rain. Across the north of England,

:19:32. > :19:38.bright skies. Some sunshine as well. A few showers across Northern

:19:39. > :19:43.Ireland, but mostly dry. Moving north-east across Scotland. For much

:19:44. > :19:46.of Scotland, a dry and find sad. Showers from the word go. The

:19:47. > :19:51.heaviest showers through the day will be in Scotland, northern

:19:52. > :19:55.England and Northern Ireland. A few of those boundary. We could see the

:19:56. > :19:59.odd shower in east Anglia or Kent, but for most of England and Wales,

:20:00. > :20:04.dry with sunny spells. Feeling pleasant in the sunshine. The far

:20:05. > :20:10.south-east could hit 26. In the evening and overnight, losing

:20:11. > :20:14.showers. A cool night than the one just gone. By the end of the night,

:20:15. > :20:17.seeing signs of cloud thickening and rain coming in to Northern Ireland.

:20:18. > :20:24.When strengthening as well. Courtesy of low pressure. You can see that

:20:25. > :20:28.there will be gusts up to gale force through the Irish seas, with

:20:29. > :20:32.exposure in the west generally tomorrow, that will be the scenario.

:20:33. > :20:36.Rain not moving too quickly. It will through Northern Ireland and

:20:37. > :20:40.Scotland, at three England and Wales it is hardly making progress. For

:20:41. > :20:45.much of England and Wales tomorrow, try and find with some sunshine,

:20:46. > :20:51.especially further east. Feeling warm in the sunshine. The wind and

:20:52. > :20:56.rain in the north and west, feeling considerably cooler. Temperature

:20:57. > :21:01.wise, a bit lower. On Thursday, rain working through overnight into

:21:02. > :21:05.Thursday. Remnants in the far south-east first thing in the

:21:06. > :21:11.morning. Akin to a mix of sunshine and showers. Showers hit and miss.

:21:12. > :21:16.If you catch one, you could be a monarchy. If you are in the

:21:17. > :21:24.sunshine, highs of 16- 24 degrees. On Friday, a mixture of sunshine and

:21:25. > :21:30.showers. More blustery, you will notice it across Northern Ireland

:21:31. > :21:34.and in central parts of the UK. A mishmash of weather in the next few

:21:35. > :21:41.days, but still quite a bit of sunshine to look forward to as well.

:21:42. > :21:44.I love a double rainbow. Thank you for that.

:21:45. > :21:47.You might get on really well with your family -

:21:48. > :21:50.but could you work with them every single day?

:21:51. > :21:52.This week, Steph's taking a look at family businesses -

:21:53. > :21:56.and what it takes to make them a success.

:21:57. > :22:04.It sounds like it would be very tough. Some people get on and it

:22:05. > :22:07.just works. There are nearly 5 million family businesses so it

:22:08. > :22:11.obviously does work. They employ nearly 12 million people.

:22:12. > :22:13.Yes, there are 4.7 million family businesses around the UK,

:22:14. > :22:16.everything from the smallest firms to some of the biggest companies

:22:17. > :22:21.But most of them share a common goal - to pass the business

:22:22. > :22:26.I went to meet the father and son team at the top of Reed Recruitment

:22:27. > :22:31.- Sir Alec Reed and his son James - to find out what it's like to take

:22:32. > :22:35.Hello, nice to meet you. Take a seat.

:22:36. > :22:38.So how important was it for you to have someone

:22:39. > :22:43.Well, if it is going to be a family business, someone in the family,

:22:44. > :22:45.next generation, has to come into it.

:22:46. > :22:49.I said, if you get the Sunday Times next week, you will see

:22:50. > :22:54.And that sort of focused his mind, and he applied for it and got it.

:22:55. > :22:56.Really, so you had to apply for the job?

:22:57. > :22:59.I think there was an interview with Sir Alec Reed.

:23:00. > :23:02.It was a joke in the family - a 30-year interview.

:23:03. > :23:13.When he said, come and join me, I found that a bit daunting,

:23:14. > :23:16.to be honest, because these are big shoes to fill.

:23:17. > :23:20.And I didn't want to mess it up, as we have a good relationship.

:23:21. > :23:25.He thought he would not get a pay rise, if he was joining it.

:23:26. > :23:27.Negotiation is important, even in families.

:23:28. > :23:29.Where does all your negotiation happen, then?

:23:30. > :23:35.Does it happen at home, or in the office?

:23:36. > :23:47.It's very hard to know where work ends and family begins

:23:48. > :23:50.What do you think the key is to running a successful family

:23:51. > :23:56.It is passion, it is ideas, it is energy.

:23:57. > :24:00.So how important is it for you to keep the business

:24:01. > :24:04.If your chief executive is changing, the character can change,

:24:05. > :24:06.and so can the character of the company.

:24:07. > :24:14.What I would say is, and I think this is entirely

:24:15. > :24:16.to my father's credit, when I joined the business,

:24:17. > :24:19.he would ask me my opinion, and then he would make the decision.

:24:20. > :24:22.And seamlessly, over a ten-year period, that would change.

:24:23. > :24:25.I would ask his opinion, and I would make the decision.

:24:26. > :24:27.And I don't know how that happened, quite.

:24:28. > :24:29.Sometimes you make a decision without asking me.

:24:30. > :24:34.But, you know, it is important to me that he is supportive,

:24:35. > :24:39.But we have never worked in the same room, you know,

:24:40. > :24:42.so we have given each other quite a bit of space.

:24:43. > :24:46.He rang me up the other day and said, I don't know

:24:47. > :24:56.They've got the same laugh, they've got the same time. -- tie. You can

:24:57. > :25:01.clearly see that they are brilliant at their jobs. Lots of people have

:25:02. > :25:02.sent in pictures from their family businesses.

:25:03. > :25:05.Matt Sumner's sent in this picture of his wife Rachel -

:25:06. > :25:08.he says the reason their earthmoving business works is because she makes

:25:09. > :25:10.all the important decisions in the office.

:25:11. > :25:13.Here's Steve, Sandra and their two children who run a family butcher

:25:14. > :25:16.shop in North Wales, they say they're already training up

:25:17. > :25:44.This is Chris and his mother, Dot. They have run it for over 100 years.

:25:45. > :25:49.He says he is still really proud of what they have achieved there.

:25:50. > :25:54.Sending more if you have any, it is really lovely to see them. And we

:25:55. > :25:58.will be talking about it again later in the week. You do what your family

:35:18. > :35:21.they were worried about hundreds being brought on site because fans

:35:22. > :35:24.of the band 'Glass Animals' tend to dress up as the fruit in a nod

:35:25. > :35:28.to one of their lyrics, which says "pineapples

:35:29. > :35:30.are in my head". The band's drummer Joe Seaward said

:35:31. > :35:38.the decision was fruit-ist as other Can be dangerous, food at a

:35:39. > :35:42.festival, net worth with oasis many years ago, I came out with an

:35:43. > :35:48.enormous pair of black eyes -- Nebworth. There was a point in the

:35:49. > :35:52.concert mid- evening and people through food in the air and I

:35:53. > :35:55.decided to head some as it came down, mistimed it, caught something

:35:56. > :36:00.right between the eyes and woke up the next morning with a massive

:36:01. > :36:04.black eye. There's a clue. I'm not saying it was the fruit, it was

:36:05. > :36:07.entirely my fault but there in lies a lesson for us all! Pineapples,

:36:08. > :36:09.don't take them to Leeds or reading! Carol will be here

:36:10. > :36:18.with the weather. We have an interview with Adam

:36:19. > :36:20.Gemili shortly but also the rest of the sport, John?

:36:21. > :36:25.The pressure is telling for Jurgen Klopp already as he looks to see his

:36:26. > :36:29.team qualify for the Champions League but he will be without

:36:30. > :36:32.Coutinho, who was injured over the weekend, but there's ongoing

:36:33. > :36:38.uncertainty about his future. You can see how annoying it is for him.

:36:55. > :36:58.someone else in! That's just be clear, that's not happening! I

:36:59. > :37:02.ruined your analogy! He could have a huge hole in his team at the start

:37:03. > :37:06.of this season and there will be a meeting of Premier League clubs to

:37:07. > :37:09.shut the transfer window earlier so teams when the season starts they

:37:10. > :37:11.know they've got their players and settled squad, which I guessed might

:37:12. > :37:17.make sense. Jurgen Klopp said he had nothing to

:37:18. > :37:22.add on the player's future when asked about it tonight ahead of the

:37:23. > :37:24.game against Hoffenheim in the Champions League qualifier.

:40:24. > :40:28.adjustments they make, obviously they take the cutting agreement

:40:29. > :40:30.away. That would be sensible. Just crank up the engine a bit, a little

:40:31. > :40:34.bit more horsepower. Exactly. Let's talk about some fantastic

:40:35. > :40:38.sport. But on Saturday night,

:40:39. > :40:41.four British men brought the house down at a packed London Stadium

:40:42. > :40:49.as they achieved the unthinkable. Great Britian's 4x100m team ran

:40:50. > :40:52.a near perfect race, beating the much-fancied

:40:53. > :40:54.Americans to the title. In a moment, we'll speak

:40:55. > :40:56.to sprinter Adam Gemili, who's second leg run

:40:57. > :40:58.was described as ridiculous But let's see that

:40:59. > :41:07.race one more time. COMMENTATOR: The men's four x 100

:41:08. > :41:30.metre relay. Safely away, CJ looks like he's got

:41:31. > :41:33.a good start and he's already taking some ground out of China and going

:41:34. > :41:38.away from France, Jamaica a good start and so to the USA. Gemili has

:41:39. > :41:46.the batons, Japan are having a good run on the inside. Gemili will give

:41:47. > :41:50.it to the third leg. Great Britain still leading and now Yohann Blake

:41:51. > :41:55.has the batons but now in front, he's going to be chased by the great

:41:56. > :42:06.man, Mitchell Blake is going to get it. He's coming fast, Coleman. It's

:42:07. > :42:19.going to be gold! A new British record. Bolt has pulled up. Usain

:42:20. > :42:23.Bolt sadly ends in tragedy for him and his team. Great Britain have won

:42:24. > :42:27.the gold. Go on! Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake!

:42:28. > :42:31.I watched it so many times but it still gives me goosebumps.

:42:32. > :42:34.Adam Gemili joins us now from Lee Valley Athletics Centre.

:42:35. > :42:41.Good morning. So many congratulations. Has it sunk in

:42:42. > :42:45.properly yet? Thank you. It is starting to sink in now, the actual

:42:46. > :42:52.feeling that we did it and became world champions against some crazy,

:42:53. > :42:56.crazy fast teams. Yeah, it's an amazing feeling really and I'm so

:42:57. > :43:01.lucky to be able to share that with the other three guys. And share it

:43:02. > :43:04.with all of us. Honestly it was so excited to watch. You're probably

:43:05. > :43:08.not even thinking with that kind of speed, are you? What were you

:43:09. > :43:15.thinking when you realised you had done something amazing? I got the

:43:16. > :43:20.baton and I was running as fast as I could, I thought get to Danny and

:43:21. > :43:24.give him the baton as fast, clean as possible. I could see we were in the

:43:25. > :43:28.mix, I could see we were leading when I looked across. As soon as

:43:29. > :43:33.Nathaniel crossed the finish line and I could see we had won already

:43:34. > :43:38.on the big screen, I was on the top bend, he erupted and I lost my head

:43:39. > :43:42.because I didn't know what to do. You dream about these things all the

:43:43. > :43:46.time, that's why you're in the sport, to become world champion and

:43:47. > :43:51.for that to become reality, like nothing I have ever it's variants

:43:52. > :43:56.and to share it worked all the fans in the stadium and everyone at home,

:43:57. > :44:01.such a good feeling. The timing has to be spot on, would you call it a

:44:02. > :44:05.perfect race? Nothing is ever perfect but if you're going to get

:44:06. > :44:09.as close to perfect for us as we could then we got pretty close.

:44:10. > :44:15.Timings... It is so difficult to get the baton around at that speed in a

:44:16. > :44:19.20 metre box. Mistakes are made so easily. We'd been practising and

:44:20. > :44:23.working hard and it paid off. You can clearly see it, Adam. Michael

:44:24. > :44:29.Johnson describe you running down the back stretch as ridiculous, the

:44:30. > :44:34.speed you went. Yeah. It was one of the greatest sprinters of all time

:44:35. > :44:39.and to have someone like that of his calibre to describe your running in

:44:40. > :44:43.that way, it is brilliant, it gives you great motivation to go on and

:44:44. > :44:47.try and run fast in the individual as well. I'm really pleased and he

:44:48. > :44:52.had some lovely comments to say. Exactly what I wanted to ask you

:44:53. > :44:56.because that's presumably where you want to go next, to be able to nail

:44:57. > :45:02.this kind of speed on your own and win individual gold, is that where

:45:03. > :45:06.you want to be? Absolutely. Athletics is a very individual

:45:07. > :45:10.sport, we are lucky as sprinters to come together and participate in the

:45:11. > :45:14.relay, which is meant to be seen as quite fun but all the sprinters want

:45:15. > :45:18.to have individual medal medallists and with the era of British printers

:45:19. > :45:23.we have at the moment that is definitely a reality, you've got

:45:24. > :45:29.guys like bowled and Justin Gatlin coming to the end of his career and

:45:30. > :45:33.stuff like that. -- Bolt. It is an open space for people to come

:45:34. > :45:37.through and fill the void. Britain has a good chance and we're going to

:45:38. > :45:40.do our best to do that. Give us a sense on Breakfast, we see new

:45:41. > :45:44.jogging round the track this morning, what is the day like for

:45:45. > :45:50.you? What are your priorities, how much do you train, what do you do?

:45:51. > :45:54.You do get up quite early, you train and the majority of your day is

:45:55. > :45:57.focused around training or recovering from training or getting

:45:58. > :46:04.ready to do a big training session later on in the week so you might

:46:05. > :46:08.come and train from maybe 9am, 10am to 2pm or 3pm and the rest of the

:46:09. > :46:12.day is either getting therapy or eating right and sleeping and making

:46:13. > :46:16.sure your body can handle the work you're going to do because it's a

:46:17. > :46:20.lot of running you do even though we are only sprinters, it is quite high

:46:21. > :46:25.intensity. You have to eat right and everything like that. It can be

:46:26. > :46:29.quite intense but I love it. You can see that. Adam Gemili, many

:46:30. > :46:30.congratulations. We hope to see you again with another gold on another

:46:31. > :46:39.occasion. What I particularly loved about that

:46:40. > :46:42.was that on that night, there was so much attention on Usain Bolt. We

:46:43. > :46:52.talked about Americans being the overwhelming favourites. Yes, it

:46:53. > :46:56.Usain Bolt did his leg in, but we had some amazing performance. And

:46:57. > :47:04.came home with a gold medal. That is what it is all about. We might need

:47:05. > :47:16.a little lie down, might and we, Carol? -- mightn't. We have some

:47:17. > :47:20.rain clearing to the east, some showers to follow. Some showers

:47:21. > :47:24.heavy and thundery, the deeply across Scotland, northern England

:47:25. > :47:28.and Northern Ireland. Where we have the rain pushing out of east Anglia

:47:29. > :47:32.and Kent, it will drift north-east across the far North of Scotland.

:47:33. > :47:38.Away from that, a lot of dry weather. A lot of sunshine and just

:47:39. > :47:42.a few showers. Losing rain from Kent in the next few hours, lingering in

:47:43. > :47:48.the Northern Isles and Shetland through the day. As temperatures

:47:49. > :47:52.rise, some showers developing. India June for Northern Ireland, a mix of

:47:53. > :47:58.sunshine and showers. The odd one will be heavy. For Scotland, a bit

:47:59. > :48:01.more frequent, but not all of us will cut one. They could be heavy

:48:02. > :48:06.with some thunder and lightning. Temperature is perhaps a little bit

:48:07. > :48:11.pessimistic, we could get up to 19. Northern England similar to Northern

:48:12. > :48:15.Ireland. A lot of sunshine in between. Coming south through the

:48:16. > :48:20.Midlands and into East Anglia, down towards the South Coast, a lot of

:48:21. > :48:25.dry weather. You could catch the odd shower in is vaguely or Kent. A high

:48:26. > :48:30.of 26. Not quite as warm across the south-west of England and Wales.

:48:31. > :48:35.Nonetheless a pleasant day, Breeze and sunshine. The odd shower.

:48:36. > :48:39.Through this evening and overnight, any showers remaining tending to die

:48:40. > :48:44.away. Under clear skies, a cool mind. Cooler than the one just gone.

:48:45. > :48:47.By the end of the night, the next set of runs coming our way.

:48:48. > :48:53.Introducing some rain initially into Northern Ireland. You can see the

:48:54. > :48:58.frontier, but if you look at the isobars, that is telling you it is

:48:59. > :49:01.going to be pretty windy. Gusts and gale force winds through the Irish

:49:02. > :49:07.Sea and exposure in the west. Picking up on the rain, that moves

:49:08. > :49:11.through Northern Ireland. Then across Scotland, north-west England,

:49:12. > :49:14.west Wales in south-west England. It doesn't make much more progress than

:49:15. > :49:21.this. This is the afternoon tomorrow. For east Wales and a lot

:49:22. > :49:33.of England, dry with some sunshine. In the sunshine, feeling pleasant.

:49:34. > :49:37.If you are in the rain and wind, it will feel cooler than the predicted

:49:38. > :49:42.temperatures. That rain crosses us during the course of Wednesday night

:49:43. > :49:47.and into Thursday. Dregs in the south-east at first, moving away

:49:48. > :49:52.quite smartly. On Thursday, another day of sunshine and showers. Showers

:49:53. > :50:02.hit and miss, looking at temperatures of 16 in the north, and

:50:03. > :50:08.up to 24 down in the south. She didn't really lie down at all, she

:50:09. > :50:08.was paying full attention throughout.

:50:09. > :50:12.It's one of the big questions when it comes to Brexit -

:50:13. > :50:27.-- It's one of the big questions when it comes to Brexit -

:50:28. > :50:30.will the UK stay part of the customs union -

:50:31. > :50:33.the agreement between EU members that allows goods to flow freely

:50:34. > :50:36.Today the government's unveiling proposals for a future trade

:50:37. > :50:39.relationship with the European Union - but the terms have been described

:50:40. > :50:41.by critics as incoherent and inadequate.

:50:42. > :50:43.Let's speak now to the Brexit Secretary David Davis.

:50:44. > :50:49.Thank you for your time this morning. My pleasure. We are asking

:50:50. > :50:52.to be out of the customs union but in something which looks exactly

:50:53. > :50:56.like it? Can you defend that position when people will say, is

:50:57. > :50:59.that what we voted for? Yes. On the one hand, people say it isn't

:51:00. > :51:02.enough, and then other people say, have your cake and eat it. It is a

:51:03. > :51:09.pretty simple, practical set of proposals that we have put forward.

:51:10. > :51:13.Primarily, there are two elements. When we leave the EU, we leave the

:51:14. > :51:17.customs union. We have to have a transition arrangement which allows

:51:18. > :51:23.British companies to sell into Europe and European companies, who

:51:24. > :51:28.sell ?60 billion more than us, into the UK. There is also the long-term

:51:29. > :51:37.arrangement. We have a couple of ideas. The biggest and first one is

:51:38. > :51:41.about facilitating, using the techniques we already use in dealing

:51:42. > :51:46.with companies from outside the EU who have to pay customs, using the

:51:47. > :51:52.same techniques to get containers through in a matter of seconds.

:51:53. > :52:01.Using those techniques to make our operation with Europe work well, in

:52:02. > :52:06.a frictionless way. It is very practical and straightforward. Of

:52:07. > :52:08.course, we have to negotiate it. Yes, it sounds practical and

:52:09. > :52:13.straightforward, but what makes you think that Brussels will agree to

:52:14. > :52:19.this and say, yes, you can say exactly that? This has been taken

:52:20. > :52:24.some time coming. In December last year and January this year, we were

:52:25. > :52:28.talking across Europe to a number of people about the advantages for

:52:29. > :52:35.them. We sell about 230 billion euros of goods and services to the

:52:36. > :52:42.EU each year. They sell 290 billion euros to us. I was in Bavaria a

:52:43. > :52:46.couple of weeks ago. They sell cars, agriculture, electronic goods. They

:52:47. > :52:49.have got an incredibly strong interest in something like this.

:52:50. > :52:57.There is interest on both sides, not doing each other harm. All of those

:52:58. > :53:06.things, there is a strong common interest. In saying that, there are

:53:07. > :53:13.some people who say, this has got to be looked at very hard. What is

:53:14. > :53:17.interesting, some very vocal critic, some who represent the European

:53:18. > :53:22.Parliament in these negotiations, they have not said there should not

:53:23. > :53:27.be a transition period, but they have said it should be limited. What

:53:28. > :53:32.we are going to do is to go across and talk and say, this is what we

:53:33. > :53:37.think is in our interest. But we will also discuss what we think is

:53:38. > :53:40.in their interests. How are those negotiations going? Are they more

:53:41. > :53:48.difficult than you thought they would be? No, they are pretty much

:53:49. > :53:53.as I expected. I have said in the run-up that there will be turbulent

:53:54. > :53:59.periods. Bumpy times. We will have public differences of view. Of

:54:00. > :54:02.course, there will be some pointscoring as people try and

:54:03. > :54:07.promote their own position. That is the negotiation. This is probably

:54:08. > :54:12.the most conflicts negotiation in history, which we have always

:54:13. > :54:17.recognise. There are 27 different national interests before you even

:54:18. > :54:23.bring the commission and the Parliament into it. There are going

:54:24. > :54:27.to be some bumps along the way. The main thing to remember is that there

:54:28. > :54:32.is a strong common interest in getting a good outcome. If you go

:54:33. > :54:36.into a business negotiation, as I have done a number of times, you are

:54:37. > :54:44.looking for the outcome that helps both sides. That is exactly what we

:54:45. > :54:48.are doing. Yes, you mentioned 27 nationstates, 27 people who need to

:54:49. > :54:52.agree with your point of view. That is one side of it. It has been

:54:53. > :55:00.reported at home that this has been a success for Philip Hammond's point

:55:01. > :55:04.of view. Can you please tell us, I understand there are certain things

:55:05. > :55:08.you can't go into detail on, what is the situation in the Cabinet? Is

:55:09. > :55:12.there an irreconcilable split of two sorts of opinion? One with Philip

:55:13. > :55:21.Hammond and one with Boris Johnson and others and they cannot see eye

:55:22. > :55:27.to eye? The reason I was smiling was that there are two different papers,

:55:28. > :55:31.one saying a victory for Philip Hammond, one saying a victory for

:55:32. > :55:37.Liam Fox. I think it is a victory for common sense. In Cabinet,

:55:38. > :55:40.everybody wants a good deal for Britain. That is the unifying

:55:41. > :55:45.aspect. There are of course different views on elements of the

:55:46. > :55:53.deal. Departments have their road specific interests. The Treasury is

:55:54. > :55:58.concerned about the city, business, energy and industry are concerned

:55:59. > :56:04.about research and manufacturing. They have different views. Liam Fox

:56:05. > :56:09.wants trade deals. My job is to make sure that we do all of those things

:56:10. > :56:16.in a practical way that works, but also in a way which is negotiable,

:56:17. > :56:23.and we can get an outcome for it. Of course, there are discussions and

:56:24. > :56:29.interests, but we all want the best outcome for Britain. From the Labour

:56:30. > :56:32.Party point of view, it was said that this is incoherent and

:56:33. > :56:38.inadequate. How do you answer that accusation? Look at the Labour

:56:39. > :56:42.Party's press release this morning. It is basically a summary of our

:56:43. > :56:53.proposal. That is what they wanted to do. That ancient thing about...

:56:54. > :56:57.Unfortunately, from the Labour Party's point of view, they have had

:56:58. > :57:06.seven different positions on this over the last 12 months. This is a

:57:07. > :57:14.carefully worked through area, it has been tested out with various

:57:15. > :57:20.other business parties. It is the practical outcome we are seeking,

:57:21. > :57:24.that is what matters. That is what I'm worried about. I am concerned

:57:25. > :57:32.about delivering for all of Britain a decent outcome. All the best with

:57:33. > :00:51.those next rounds of negotiations. We will have the national

:00:52. > :00:53.Plenty more on our website at the usual address.

:00:54. > :00:58.We will have more on the issues at Waterloo station this morning. A

:00:59. > :01:01.reminder that passengers are being advised to avoid the area

:01:02. > :01:02.completely, tickets are being accepted on the London Underground

:01:13. > :01:15.for life after Brexit - including a temporary customs union

:01:16. > :01:27.with the EU. The important thing is that there

:01:28. > :01:29.will be decent apostles and sensible proposals for everyone.

:01:30. > :01:31.But critics say the proposals are "incoherent and inadequate" -

:01:32. > :01:39.and an attempt to paper over cracks in the Cabinet.

:01:40. > :01:41.Good morning, it's Tuesday the 15th of August.

:01:42. > :01:47.More than 300 people have been killed and many more feared buried

:02:06. > :02:11.Good morning. Could you run a business with your mum or dad? This

:02:12. > :02:16.week, I am talking to companies who keep it in the family, finding out

:02:17. > :02:17.how they take, and how they keep business working.

:02:45. > :02:55.by around a quarter. Good morning. Rain clearing the East

:02:56. > :02:59.of the country, behind that, a day of sunshine and showers, the

:03:00. > :03:03.heaviest in Scotland, northern England and Northern Ireland. More

:03:04. > :03:04.details in 15 minutes. Carol, thank you.

:03:05. > :03:09.The government is pushing for a temporary customs union to be

:03:10. > :03:11.put in place when Britain leaves the European Union -

:03:12. > :03:14.to try to smooth the way for business and prevent chaos

:03:15. > :03:17.There've been warnings about the extra pressure ports

:03:18. > :03:21.could be under if they face an increase in red tape

:03:22. > :03:24.and bureaucracy for goods coming in and out of the country.

:03:25. > :03:28.Today the government's publishing its proposals -

:03:29. > :03:32.the first in what are being called 'future partnership

:03:33. > :03:40.papers' to try to ensure an orderly exit from the EU.

:03:41. > :03:42.Let's speak now to our political correspondent Leila Nathoo,

:03:43. > :03:46.who's in Westminster for us this morning.

:03:47. > :03:54.I know you will be listening to David Davis. What is the important

:03:55. > :03:59.thing he was saying? The government is saying it has a plan, worked out

:04:00. > :04:02.over 12 months, an attempt to show there is something that has been

:04:03. > :04:07.worked out, something that the Cabinet is united around and David

:04:08. > :04:11.Davis saying this is an setting and is setting out a practical way

:04:12. > :04:16.forward to reassure business there will be no cliff edge, change in

:04:17. > :04:20.rules immediately after Brexit, the customs arrangements were basically

:04:21. > :04:22.broadly stay the same and crucially, he thinks this is something that is

:04:23. > :04:31.achievable in those negotiations. We sell about 230 billion Euros of

:04:32. > :04:38.goods and services to the European Union each year. They sell 290

:04:39. > :04:43.billion to us. I was in Bavaria 2-3 weeks ago, they sell BMWs,

:04:44. > :04:46.agricultural produce, electronic goods, they have an incredibly

:04:47. > :04:51.strong interest in something like this so there is an interest on both

:04:52. > :04:55.sides of not doing each other harm, if you like. Both to do with customs

:04:56. > :05:06.arrangements but also having a free-trade area in the first place.

:05:07. > :05:09.This idea that we will have frictionless trade after Brexit, and

:05:10. > :05:12.the idea that we have to look at what Brussels is willing to offer

:05:13. > :05:17.and those negotiations resume at the end of August, we will find out how

:05:18. > :05:22.these proposals have gone down. Thank you.

:05:23. > :05:25.Mudslides and floods in Sierra Leone are now known to have killed more

:05:26. > :05:27.than 300 people on the outskirts of the capital, Freetown.

:05:28. > :05:30.Thousands more have been forced to flee from their homes.

:05:31. > :05:32.Government officials have warned the number of casualties

:05:33. > :05:38.is expected to rise, with hundreds of bodies thought

:05:39. > :05:43.to be still trapped under the debris.

:05:44. > :05:45.In a few minutes we'll be speaking to a relief worker

:05:46. > :05:53.who is in Freetown about the latest on the rescue efforts there.

:05:54. > :05:58.A train has partially derailed at Waterloo station, there were

:05:59. > :06:02.passengers on the train, London Ambulance Service said they were

:06:03. > :06:06.checked, none needed to go to hospital. South West Trains has

:06:07. > :06:11.advised passengers to avoid Waterloo and Vauxhall stations for the

:06:12. > :06:16.remainder of the day. If you were planning to travel listen out for

:06:17. > :06:17.other information. Also later, use about how much we will be paying for

:06:18. > :06:23.train tickets. Rail passengers will learn this

:06:24. > :06:26.morning how much more they'll be paying for some of their journeys

:06:27. > :06:28.from January next year. Regulated fares, which account

:06:29. > :06:30.for nearly half of all tickets, will go up by last month's rate

:06:31. > :06:33.of inflation, as measured The exact figure will be

:06:34. > :06:36.published this morning. It's expected to be around 3.5%,

:06:37. > :06:39.well above average wage rises. The "fat but fit" theory that

:06:40. > :06:41.overweight people can still be healthy is nothing but a myth,

:06:42. > :06:44.according to researchers from two Scientists

:06:45. > :06:46.at Cambridge University and Imperial College London found

:06:47. > :06:49.that being obese or overweight increases your risk of coronary

:06:50. > :06:51.heart disease by up to 28%, even if you're otherwise

:07:24. > :07:25.reason to lose weight. I'm fit, healthy, I've been

:07:26. > :07:28.down this gym every day Excess body fat is linked to high

:07:29. > :07:34.blood sugar and cholesterol. But some claim overweight people

:07:35. > :07:38.can still be healthy. New research from Cambridge

:07:39. > :07:41.University suggests that, even if a blood test

:07:42. > :07:44.is within the normal range, excess weight is

:07:45. > :07:46.still a health risk. It linked people with BMIs of over

:07:47. > :07:53.25 to an estimated increased risk of heart disease of 26%-28%,

:07:54. > :07:56.compared to those with At the beginning of the study,

:07:57. > :08:06.they were classified as healthy. Then they became unhealthy,

:08:07. > :08:09.and eventually some of them developed heart disease

:08:10. > :08:12.and heart attack. Researchers believe excess fat may

:08:13. > :08:16.store health problems for the future, and getting down

:08:17. > :08:20.to a healthy weight, whatever your sport,

:08:21. > :08:37.is vitally important. A pensioner who was stabbed while

:09:33. > :09:34.India and Pakistan are marking 70 years of independence

:09:35. > :09:37.But the celebrations are tinged with tragedy.

:09:38. > :09:39.Both nations were formed when the subcontinent was split

:09:40. > :09:41.along religious lines, sparking mob violence

:09:42. > :09:46.The BBC broadcaster Anita Rani has made a documentary

:09:47. > :09:47.in which she and other British-Indians explore

:09:48. > :09:50.how the horror affected their own families.

:09:51. > :10:13.My dad told me that there was two men that pulled the boat.

:10:14. > :10:35.I just want to thank your family, and you

:10:36. > :10:59.So when the violence started, he left?

:11:00. > :11:23.Anita Rani joins us now, along with Binita Kane,

:11:24. > :11:28.who we saw at the beginning of that clip.

:11:29. > :11:34.The emotions that you have been through, that there are few, all of

:11:35. > :11:39.you have been on this journey, so start to see stop let's talk about

:11:40. > :11:44.your family first, you went back to the village they fled for their

:11:45. > :11:48.lives, tell us what happened. I was the first member of my family to go

:11:49. > :11:53.back in 70 years to try and revisit the place my father had to free on

:11:54. > :11:57.in terror and I wasn't sure if the village was even still there. I

:11:58. > :12:00.wasn't expecting to meet people who remembered my family and could give

:12:01. > :12:06.me first-hand accounts of what happened but was just incredible.

:12:07. > :12:10.People remember watching your Who Do You Think You Are family some years

:12:11. > :12:15.ago, you learned about maternal grandfather, tell us about that. My

:12:16. > :12:19.story was tragic but not isolated, this happened to millions of people

:12:20. > :12:23.in this part of the world. My grandfather was with the British

:12:24. > :12:29.Indian Army and he lost his entire family during partition, his father,

:12:30. > :12:34.wife, two children, I felt I had unfinished business, I went to

:12:35. > :12:38.Pakistan where their house was, I wanted to know what happened to his

:12:39. > :12:42.first family, how they died meet you will find that out in the episode on

:12:43. > :12:47.Wednesday night. But this programme stemmed from that, I got a huge

:12:48. > :12:50.reaction of the back across-the-board from people saying

:12:51. > :12:57.we had no idea about this period of history. Particularly the dish

:12:58. > :13:01.nations saying, we heard granny saying something but we never asked

:13:02. > :13:05.her. How could this happen, within 70 years, people have no idea about

:13:06. > :13:10.this moment. Do you think part of it and again this comes out in

:13:11. > :13:13.interviews that we did, it was so brutal, so many people died, it was

:13:14. > :13:19.such a change of life, so many memories, people may be did not want

:13:20. > :13:22.to talk about... Absolutely, spot-on, horrific and brittle, today

:13:23. > :13:27.we are celebrating Indian independence, yesterday Pakistan

:13:28. > :13:31.celebrated the birth of a nation coming you have these two nations

:13:32. > :13:35.celebrating the birth of something very positive in many ways and so

:13:36. > :13:38.how do you deal with that? Also I think there has been a collective

:13:39. > :13:42.shroud of secrecy amongst that generation, don't you think? How do

:13:43. > :13:46.you even begin to talk about what you witnessed and Roger family has

:13:47. > :13:50.been through? And your dad has talked to you about it and talks in

:13:51. > :13:56.the documentary. Would you like him to go back and visit just too

:13:57. > :13:59.painful for him, do you think? We discussed this quite a lot before

:14:00. > :14:03.the show, whether he would come with me and we both agreed it would be

:14:04. > :14:08.too traumatic and painful, what they witnessed and what happened, so many

:14:09. > :14:12.atrocities and to uncover that up to 70 years, would have been

:14:13. > :14:16.psychologically I think, really hard for him so he sent me on my way, was

:14:17. > :14:23.an incredible thing to do on his behalf. I took mum, we were the

:14:24. > :14:26.first members of our family to set but Pakistan, I thought I might go

:14:27. > :14:30.for work, I've always wanted to go and actually, mum did a bit of the

:14:31. > :14:33.journey and then she didn't continue, I went to discover what

:14:34. > :14:37.happened to the family, I don't think she would have been able to

:14:38. > :14:38.cope with the level of detail, the brutality.

:14:39. > :14:41.Let's see another clip from the programme.

:14:42. > :14:43.We're about to see Hassad, a British Muslim, discover the home

:14:44. > :15:06.Did you have a balcony? That has a balcony. Hazard? Let's look. So...

:15:07. > :15:11.Recognise it? That was a very beautiful house. Everything gets

:15:12. > :15:15.changed. Here, too there, I think, it was our house. And we used to

:15:16. > :15:31.live in that... It used to be such a beautiful

:15:32. > :15:39.house, with those lovely balconies and now... It looks like a room, you

:15:40. > :15:41.see? I can't help crying, you know. This is not my country, this is not

:15:42. > :15:58.my house. I don't belong here. These are just four of hundreds of

:15:59. > :16:03.thousands of stories, aren't they? The best thing that has happened is

:16:04. > :16:09.the overwhelming reaction we are getting. What has that been like?

:16:10. > :16:15.Incredible. The most moving thing for me is when people say to me, we

:16:16. > :16:20.are now talking to grandma or my mum has opened up and started telling me

:16:21. > :16:24.things she has never told me in her life. People want to know why they

:16:25. > :16:29.don't know because this is a huge part of British history. This show

:16:30. > :16:36.has given people space to start those conversations, and the huge

:16:37. > :16:41.reaction has been "We didn't know". People want to know why it isn't

:16:42. > :16:46.taught in British schools. That has been the overwhelming reaction. From

:16:47. > :16:52.your dad's point of view, you have had conversations now you are back,

:16:53. > :16:57.how has it affected him? He is proud, but he feels happy that his

:16:58. > :17:02.memories weren't fake in a way because he was only seven years old

:17:03. > :17:07.when it happened and nobody knew if they were just his childhood

:17:08. > :17:11.memories, and what he described was so accurately told by everyone in

:17:12. > :17:15.the village. To hear other people talking about his father, and you

:17:16. > :17:20.will hear what happened to his family in the show tomorrow night,

:17:21. > :17:23.but to hear people talking about it was incredible for him. If you

:17:24. > :17:28.haven't seen the first part, you can watch it like I did on the iPlayer,

:17:29. > :17:31.and the second part of My Family, Partition And Me is on BBC One at

:17:32. > :17:40.nine o'clock tomorrow night. It's 8.17 and you're watching

:17:41. > :17:53.Breakfast from BBC News. Carol can tell us all about the

:17:54. > :17:58.weather. This was sent in by one of our

:17:59. > :18:01.weather watchers and it tells the story nicely because today's

:18:02. > :18:06.forecast is one of sunshine and showers.

:18:07. > :18:13.We have to get rid of the rain from Kent first and also from the

:18:14. > :18:18.north-east of Scotland. That pushes into the Northern Isles, clearing

:18:19. > :18:21.Shetland last, moves away from Kent, then brightens up with just a few

:18:22. > :18:25.showers, the heaviest of which will be in the north of the country. For

:18:26. > :18:31.Northern Ireland this afternoon it is sunshine and showers, some heavy

:18:32. > :18:35.ones for you. The show is more frequent across Scotland. You can

:18:36. > :18:42.see the odd flash of lightning. But there will be a lot of dry weather

:18:43. > :18:49.and temperatures could reach 19 in Edinburgh. A lot of dry weather with

:18:50. > :18:53.sunny spells, as we comes up a lot of dry weather. Some showers in East

:18:54. > :18:59.Anglia and Kent, but here we could hit 26 Celsius yesterday. In the

:19:00. > :19:04.southern counties of England, into south-west England and Wales a lot

:19:05. > :19:09.of dry weather. The odd shower, but the showers across England and Wales

:19:10. > :19:15.will be fewer and further between. Tonight the showers will fade, you

:19:16. > :19:19.will have a clearer night and by the end of the night we have got the

:19:20. > :19:22.wind picking up, thicker cloud and some rain arriving in Northern

:19:23. > :19:26.Ireland and it's all courtesy of this low pressure and its weather

:19:27. > :19:31.fronts. These will come in towards the UK during the course of

:19:32. > :19:37.tomorrow. You can see the squeeze on the isobars indicating it will be

:19:38. > :19:43.windy, gusting to gale force. But the Rangers and make huge progress.

:19:44. > :19:46.It rattles through Northern Ireland fairly quickly, then moves across

:19:47. > :19:51.Scotland but just gets into north-west England, parts of west

:19:52. > :19:56.Wales and south-west England. Ahead of it, the cloud will build and if

:19:57. > :20:02.you are under this combination it will feel cooler. But if you push

:20:03. > :20:05.further east, it is a much drier and brighter scenario, particularly the

:20:06. > :20:15.further east you travel, you will more sunshine. On Thursday that rain

:20:16. > :20:20.clears south-east during the course of the morning, leaving behind it

:20:21. > :20:27.another day of sunshine and showers. The showers are still very much hit

:20:28. > :20:31.and miss. Moving into Friday, it still is sunshine and showers but

:20:36. > :20:40.gales across the north-west but through the central swathe of the

:20:41. > :20:47.UK, again you will notice the wind. In the sunshine, rise up to 21.

:20:48. > :20:52.Thank you, Carol, see you in a few minutes.

:20:53. > :21:02.More than 300 people are thought to have died in mudslides and flooding

:21:03. > :21:36.near Sierra Leone's capital, Freetown.

:21:37. > :21:38.A hillside in Regent, a mountainous town 15

:21:39. > :21:40.miles east of Freetown, collapsed in the early hours

:21:41. > :21:45.of Monday morning after heavy rains, leaving hundreds of people trapped.

:21:46. > :21:46.Let's speak now to Ishmael Charles,

:21:47. > :21:49.who's in Freetown and works for the Healey International

:21:50. > :22:00.There is no possibility of survival at this time. If even there was any

:22:01. > :22:05.survivor they would have died already because of the weight of the

:22:06. > :22:18.soil. Described as far as you know what happened. It seems like a whole

:22:19. > :22:33.side of a mountain came down. INAUDIBLE. Apologies. I think we

:22:34. > :22:38.have lost Ishmael, but he was saying there may be no more survivors. We

:22:39. > :22:46.can go back to him. I was just asking you to describe what

:22:47. > :22:51.happened. Apologies to Ishmael and you at home, we cannot get that line

:22:52. > :22:55.back to Freetown. You can get an understanding of the gravity of the

:22:56. > :22:58.situation. We saw the pictures earlier, 300

:22:59. > :23:03.feared dead and the search for survivors go on, but we saw pictures

:23:04. > :23:08.of the whole side of a mountain covered with mud slides and the

:23:09. > :23:11.homes have been completely removed, searching for bodies. One man in

:23:12. > :23:19.particular lost eight members of his family.

:23:20. > :23:23.Also, we do know the number feared to have died may go up. The news

:23:24. > :23:29.channel will keep you up-to-date with that throughout the day.

:23:30. > :23:35.We have had a lot of sport from the programme today, but cast your mind

:23:36. > :23:39.back to the Olympics about a year ago. Millions tuned in to watch

:23:40. > :23:45.Britain's women win the gold medal against the Dutch, the penalty shoot

:23:46. > :23:50.out to claim the top goal. Since then there's been a surge in people

:23:51. > :23:58.playing and signing up to hockey clubs all over the UK.

:23:59. > :24:04.Our reporter Lara Rostron is out on the hockey pitch this morning.

:24:05. > :24:15.Yes, good morning. I'm dodging hockey balls as we speak. We have

:24:16. > :24:19.almost 100 kids playing. This is Staines hockey club. After that

:24:20. > :24:27.amazing win last year in Rio when the women's hockey group won gold at

:24:28. > :24:31.the Olympics, there's been something like 13,000 people joining hockey

:24:32. > :24:38.clubs across the UK. We have some little one here, let me chat to

:24:39. > :24:45.Jessica. Take out the gumshield, she has all the gear. How old were you

:24:46. > :24:50.when you started hockey? When I was two in the basement I started

:24:51. > :24:56.playing with my mum and dad with a little stick. Can you show us that

:24:57. > :25:02.little stick? It is tiny, we might be able to see it later. It's only

:25:03. > :25:07.about that long. You really enjoy hockey, don't you? It is lovely.

:25:08. > :25:11.Jessica is one of the tots here who was playing but we also have the

:25:12. > :25:16.woman who was team captain in the Olympics last year at Rio and we

:25:17. > :25:20.will be catching up with Kate Richardson Walsh later in the

:25:21. > :25:24.programme. She will be telling us what she's doing to encourage more

:25:25. > :25:29.youngsters and adults into the sport. Kate, can you just let us

:25:30. > :25:35.know how you are getting people interested in this because it's a

:25:36. > :25:40.tough sport, isn't it? Yes, but it is for everyone, all ages and

:25:41. > :25:45.abilities. All of the home nations are getting out into as many clubs

:25:46. > :25:51.and schools as possible. It's lovely to see so many people out here this

:25:52. > :25:59.morning. How do you feel one year on since the goal at the Olympics? It

:26:00. > :26:05.is incredible. We can get all of the amazing people who supported us down

:26:06. > :26:10.supporting England at the World Cup, home venue, it should be an amazing

:26:11. > :26:17.atmosphere. Phenomenal, so you have the World Championships next year as

:26:18. > :26:23.well, good luck with that. And we are talking about another kind of

:26:24. > :26:30.sport soon. Yes, 25 years of the Premier League. Things have changed

:26:31. > :26:33.a lot since 1990, Bryan Robson was the record signing for 1.5 million

:26:34. > :26:40.quid. Lots of people getting in touch

:26:41. > :26:43.about that exact thing, inflation and prices.

:26:44. > :26:46.It gets people's goat because there's so many money involved but

:26:47. > :26:52.footballers would say you are worth the amount people are willing to pay

:26:53. > :26:55.you. It might not be the best league but it is certainly the most

:26:56. > :27:01.watchable. Thank you for your comments. We are

:27:02. > :27:02.enjoying reading them. Time to get the news, travel and weather where

:27:03. > :30:22.you are. I'm back with the latest

:30:23. > :30:24.from the BBC London Hello, this is Breakfast

:30:25. > :30:36.with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. The Government is to outline plans

:30:37. > :30:39.to negotiate a temporary customs relationship with the EU,

:30:40. > :30:41.immediately after Brexit. Ministers want to ensure

:30:42. > :30:45.that an arrangement, similar to the current customs

:30:46. > :30:47.union, will remain in place until a final trade

:30:48. > :30:49.settlement takes effect. Earlier on Breakfast,

:30:50. > :30:52.the Brexit Secretary - David Davis said he believes

:30:53. > :31:04.the deal is achievable. This is probably the most complex

:31:05. > :31:08.negotiation in history which we have always recognised, it was a tough

:31:09. > :31:11.one, there are 27 different national interests before you bring the

:31:12. > :31:16.commission and the parliament into it so of course it will have some

:31:17. > :31:19.bumps along the way. But at the end of the day be driving thing to

:31:20. > :31:27.remember is that there is a strong common interest in getting a good

:31:28. > :31:30.outcome. You go into a business negotiation as I have done many

:31:31. > :31:31.times, we are looking for the outcome which helps both sides and

:31:32. > :31:35.that is what we are doing here. Mudslides and floods in Sierra Leone

:31:36. > :31:38.are now known to have killed more than 300 people on the outskirts

:31:39. > :31:40.of the capital, Freetown. Thousands more have been forced

:31:41. > :31:43.to flee from their homes. Government officials have warned

:31:44. > :31:46.the number of casualties is expected to rise,

:31:47. > :31:49.with hundreds of bodies thought to And let's just bring you some more

:31:50. > :32:01.on the news that a train has partially derailed at Waterloo

:32:02. > :32:02.station in London. There were passengers on the train

:32:03. > :32:05.and London Ambulance Service said they checked three people over,

:32:06. > :32:09.but none needed to go to hospital. The South West Trains service struck

:32:10. > :32:14.a freight train at low speed. South West Trains has advised

:32:15. > :32:17.passengers to avoid Waterloo and Vauxhall stations

:32:18. > :32:20.for the remainder of today. In a statement Network Rail said

:32:21. > :32:24.the incident happened as the train was pulling away from its platform

:32:25. > :32:27.at Waterloo at 540am. An investigation to establish the

:32:28. > :32:34.cause of the incident is underway. Rail passengers will learn this

:32:35. > :32:37.morning how much more they'll be paying for some of their journeys

:32:38. > :32:39.from January next year. Regulated fares - which account

:32:40. > :32:45.for nearly half of all tickets - will go up by last month's rate

:32:46. > :32:47.of inflation, as measured The exact figure will be

:32:48. > :32:55.published this morning. It's expected to be around 3.5% -

:32:56. > :33:00.well above average wage rises. The "fat but fit" theory that

:33:01. > :33:03.overweight people can still be healthy is nothing but a myth,

:33:04. > :33:06.according to researchers from two Scientists at Cambridge University

:33:07. > :33:10.and Imperial College London found that being obese or overweight

:33:11. > :33:15.increases your risk of coronary heart disease by up to 28% -

:33:16. > :33:24.even if you're otherwise healthy Thank you for all the comments you

:33:25. > :33:27.have sent on that one, on both sides of the debate. People getting quite

:33:28. > :33:33.agitated by the research. A box filled with essentials

:33:34. > :33:36.for newborn babies will be arriving at the homes of new mothers

:33:37. > :33:38.in Scotland from today. The 'baby boxes' are inspired

:33:39. > :33:42.by a scheme in Finland to give all new mums a starter pack

:33:43. > :33:45.of things like clothes, But the box also doubles up

:33:54. > :33:58.a sexual assault case She said he had groped her

:33:59. > :34:05.at a concert in 2013. His claim for damages,

:34:06. > :34:08.on the grounds that his reputation had been destroyed by false

:34:28. > :34:34.contacted his radio station bosses to report that he'd groped

:34:35. > :34:41.the singer at a photo shoot. She countersued for the assault,

:34:42. > :34:46.describing it in court as a very It was a shocking thing

:35:01. > :35:02.continued, and the jury sided She had been assaulted,

:35:03. > :35:06.and in keeping with her wishes, Mr Mueller was ordered

:35:07. > :35:12.to pay $1 in damages. In a statement, she thanked

:35:13. > :35:15.the judge and legal team for fighting for her and anyone

:35:16. > :35:18.who felt silenced by sexual assault. She said she wanted to help those

:36:59. > :37:01.of the highs and lows of the most popular domestic sports competition

:37:02. > :37:03.in the world. We'll be joined by one

:37:04. > :37:06.of the stars of "Quacks" - a new comedy about the daring

:37:10. > :37:12.with a hacksaw and let audiences in to watch their

:37:13. > :37:13.gruesome operations. We'll be joined by the woman who's

:37:14. > :37:16.made history as the youngest ever skipper to lead a team

:37:17. > :37:19.in the Clipper Yacht Race, just before she sets sail

:37:20. > :37:25.on her epic round-the-world trip. And now the rest of the sport. We

:37:26. > :37:32.are talking about the realities of life in the Premier League. Jurgen

:37:33. > :37:38.Klopp is very frustrated because all the questions in the lead up to his

:37:39. > :37:43.game in the Champions League qualifying match are all about one

:37:44. > :37:51.player, Coutinho, Barcelona have bid for him. He is unsettled. It is a

:37:52. > :37:57.big match, but all the talk is about one player in particular. It has

:37:58. > :38:00.unsettled the team and his preparations and he is very

:38:01. > :38:03.frustrated and that is as a result of the transfer window which does

:38:04. > :38:09.not close until three weeks after the start of the season. It upsets

:38:10. > :38:10.teams and their preparations and that is what he is experiencing at

:38:11. > :38:12.the moment. Jurgen Klopp says he's got nothing

:38:13. > :38:15.to add on the player's future when asked about it ahead

:38:16. > :38:17.of tonight's champions league The forward didn't feature

:38:18. > :38:23.for Liverpool on the weekend because of injury, but handed

:38:24. > :38:25.in a transfer request last week, just days after Barcelona had

:38:26. > :38:31.a ?90 million bid rejected. I really understand everyone's

:38:32. > :38:34.interest, but I cannot say in this I am just here and I

:38:35. > :38:41.will answer questions. But on the way to the press

:38:42. > :38:44.conference in the car, Because I have to think about the

:38:45. > :38:52.team. Chelsea striker Diego Costa has been

:38:53. > :38:56.told he wont be granted a move away He's been fined after failing

:38:57. > :38:59.to report for pre-season He's threatened to sit

:39:00. > :39:04.out the remaining two years of his contract -

:39:05. > :39:07.unpaid if necessary - if the club British number two Kyle Edmund

:39:08. > :39:12.continues to struggle in the build-up to the last grand

:39:13. > :39:15.slam of the year, the US Open which begins at

:39:16. > :39:18.the end of the month. He was beaten in the first

:39:19. > :39:20.round of the Cincinnati Masters by Portugal's Joao Sousa in three

:39:21. > :39:23.sets, after being knocked out in the first round of

:39:24. > :39:25.the Montreal Masters last week. Meanwhile, Andy Murray will be

:39:26. > :39:28.replaced as world number one by Rafael Nadal at the end

:39:29. > :39:30.of this week's tournament. Murray isn't playing due

:39:31. > :39:32.to an ongoing hip problem. The Spaniard will top the world

:39:33. > :39:35.rankings for the first England's cricketers will step

:39:36. > :39:40.into the unknown this week, when they play their first day-night

:39:41. > :39:44.Test match - the first to be The opening Test of their series

:39:45. > :39:49.against the West Indies at Edgbaston will start at two o'clock

:39:50. > :39:55.on Thursday, with The day's play will

:39:56. > :39:59.finish at around 9. The player's have been getting used

:40:00. > :40:02.to playing with a pink ball which will show up better under

:40:03. > :40:04.the lights, something of a new experience

:40:05. > :40:07.for bowler Stuart Broad. The Pink Ball County Round, they

:40:08. > :40:12.said the ball went quite quickly. We have got to be adaptable. The

:40:13. > :40:19.exciting thing as a player... We are going in with a completely

:40:20. > :40:22.clear mind and are learning I think the team that will be most

:40:23. > :40:31.successful this week is the team Exciting times for the players and I

:40:32. > :40:34.guess it is for the fans as well, getting to watch Test match cricket

:40:35. > :40:40.until nine o'clock, that will be a new experience for everyone. Great

:40:41. > :40:45.fun. We are going to talk about football again. It is not my fault!

:40:46. > :40:47.It was a moment that changed football -

:40:48. > :40:50.The Premier League was launched 25 years ago today, turning

:40:51. > :40:53.the English national game into a global commodity.

:40:54. > :40:59.Before we explore this further, let's open our sticker book

:41:00. > :41:08.Rory Smith is Chief Soccer Correspondent

:41:09. > :41:13.for the New York Times and Dan Jones is a football finance expert.

:41:14. > :41:24.Let's go back to 1992, football was very different. The way we talk

:41:25. > :41:28.about transfers these days, breaking the ?200 million barrier, but things

:41:29. > :41:32.were different then. It was not as glamorous and the production values

:41:33. > :41:35.were lower and the Premier League has had a big impact on the way we

:41:36. > :41:41.look at football and what it looks like in every way, the kits,

:41:42. > :41:43.haircuts, everything is different. You don't have players with

:41:44. > :41:50.moustaches animal which is a disappointment. It is essentially a

:41:51. > :41:56.different sport -- any law which is a disappointment. It is so much

:41:57. > :42:04.about money, and almost everyone is talking about finances. Gary says

:42:05. > :42:07.until the Premier League, money was less important, he said he was

:42:08. > :42:14.prised out of watching Tottenham. Money has changed everything. Yes,

:42:15. > :42:18.the financial success story of the Premier League has been amazing but

:42:19. > :42:22.the reason the money is there is because we love it so much, people

:42:23. > :42:26.wanted to watch the football on TV and it has improved things, the

:42:27. > :42:31.stadiums and players are so much better. It has transformed in

:42:32. > :42:37.financial terms, but if you remember going to football in the 80s, and

:42:38. > :42:41.now, it is a much better experience. I had great times in the 80s but I

:42:42. > :42:52.am much more comfortable taking my son now. We thought the bubble would

:42:53. > :43:00.burst, but every different rights negotiation is an increase. Yes,

:43:01. > :43:06.that is right. I was doing my research, and we were talking about

:43:07. > :43:11.the division in 1992 that had a combined wage bill of ?100 million

:43:12. > :43:16.and they said this was a bubble that would burst, the wages for Roy

:43:17. > :43:22.Keane, for example, were ridiculous, they said, but now you have Paul

:43:23. > :43:28.Pogba going for nearly ?100 million. It has grown 50% every year for 25

:43:29. > :43:36.years growth, incredible for any industry. Yes, staggering. From your

:43:37. > :43:41.perspective, it is a global brand, are you surprised by that? It is

:43:42. > :43:46.sometimes hard to believe the scale of it, and I know there was a survey

:43:47. > :43:51.in 2015 that said it is the most recognised British icon of anything.

:43:52. > :43:58.However, they were commissioned by the Premier League. That might skew

:43:59. > :44:03.the result, but James Bond, the role family, Rolls-Royce, the Premier

:44:04. > :44:07.League has outstripped all of these and you could say it is our greatest

:44:08. > :44:13.cultural export, and given where it came from, the horrors of the 80s,

:44:14. > :44:19.that is a incredible transformation. It is right for fans to feel a bit

:44:20. > :44:26.disenfranchised, but it is a huge cultural phenomenon on, the Premier

:44:27. > :44:30.League. Do we not worry enough about where the money comes from our

:44:31. > :44:34.times? We have the fit and proper person test for those who own clubs,

:44:35. > :44:38.but there is so much money in the game. Often you find it has come

:44:39. > :44:42.from somewhere you are not sure about. There is more scrutiny of

:44:43. > :44:48.people investing in football clubs than any other industry, the nature

:44:49. > :44:52.of the beast, really. If you were trying to do something unusual or

:44:53. > :44:56.criminal, going through football would be a very peculiar route

:44:57. > :45:00.because you will get more scrutiny than any other industry. Football

:45:01. > :45:05.raises the bar beyond what is needed by company law, they always say, can

:45:06. > :45:10.you do more, but it is pretty high profile and heavily scrutinised.

:45:11. > :45:14.Where most of the money comes from is the general public, around the

:45:15. > :45:19.world, through TV rights and buying shirts and match tickets, and

:45:20. > :45:26.sponsors, and it all comes back in the end to the supporters. Is there

:45:27. > :45:30.some key thing that other sports could learn from this massive

:45:31. > :45:33.success that it has been? I find it interesting, even with women's

:45:34. > :45:36.football, they say, what can it do to be more like men's football, and

:45:37. > :45:43.that is true of other sports, cricket and rugby have looked at it

:45:44. > :45:47.to try and bottled the magic, but it is football, people want to watch

:45:48. > :45:50.the best football in the world, may be the Premier League is not the

:45:51. > :45:56.best, but it is the best presented and that is hugely important. We

:45:57. > :45:59.have a clip here. Every got it? Sorry, we haven't. -- have we got

:46:00. > :46:10.it. Neymar has gone outside of the UK

:46:11. > :46:16.the 200 million. We saw ?90 million for Paul Pogba Manchester United

:46:17. > :46:24.paid. Will that continue going up? You say it's gone up 15% every year.

:46:25. > :46:30.It's inevitable we will see an -- a player go for ?100 million. It is in

:46:31. > :46:35.proportion. I said about Roy Keane moving for ?3.75 million at the

:46:36. > :46:40.beginning of the Premier League. That seemed like a crazy amount. If

:46:41. > :46:48.you look at the way the game is ?100 million is proportionate. Roy

:46:49. > :46:54.Keane's amount was 15% of Manchester United's revenue. Doesn't affect the

:46:55. > :46:57.annoyance of fans. They see the amount of money changed hands and

:46:58. > :47:01.they wonder how things like this happen to the game they love. But

:47:02. > :47:03.they get equally annoyed when teams cannot keep the players they love.

:47:04. > :47:05.Thanks. The 1840s were daring,

:47:06. > :47:08.wild days of medical science, when doctors were just as likely

:47:09. > :47:11.to kill their patients as cure them. It was a time when despite

:47:12. > :47:13.the risks, huge strides were being made in medicine,

:47:14. > :47:16.and its pioneering young scientists It's also the inspiration behind

:47:17. > :47:19.the new BBC comedy, Quacks. We'll speak to one of the show's

:47:20. > :47:22.stars, Mathew Bayton in just a minute, but first let's take

:47:23. > :47:29.a look at tonight's programme. Caroline, if you're willing,

:47:30. > :47:32.I'd like to try an unusual form A science which believes

:47:33. > :47:49.the mind of an individual This model shows where the different

:47:50. > :47:54.functions of the brain are located. By feeling the contours of someone's

:47:55. > :47:57.head, one can detect where certain It is meant to be humorous and it

:47:58. > :48:34.certainly is. Thank you for joining us. Tell us

:48:35. > :48:42.about your character. He is called an alienist. This is before Freud,

:48:43. > :48:49.before psychology, but he works in an asylum treating mental illness.

:48:50. > :48:53.This is a time when you have just moved on, really, from treating that

:48:54. > :48:58.as a session by the devil and so on. And he is really fighting a losing

:48:59. > :49:02.battle. His revolutionary ideas, let's treat people with kindness,

:49:03. > :49:06.and not beat them up and changed them to the wall, and it doesn't go

:49:07. > :49:14.down very well with his superiors. -- chain them to the wall. These

:49:15. > :49:19.guys, these people working in medicine, experimenting, were really

:49:20. > :49:23.famous, were rock stars. They were doing incredible things. They had

:49:24. > :49:27.people's lives in their hands. We call it an operating theatre still

:49:28. > :49:34.because it was a theatre. You could pay. You could show up. You could

:49:35. > :49:38.watch someone's leg being amputated. Talent was judged on how quickly you

:49:39. > :49:45.could amputate a leg. Is that right? For a while? The surgeon Rory

:49:46. > :49:49.Kinnear plays in the show, Robert, is very arrogant. But it is

:49:50. > :49:58.understandable because he is a man who can either kill or save someone

:49:59. > :50:02.by one centimetre to the left or right. You can understand why you

:50:03. > :50:05.would get a God complex. The speed thing is interesting. They would

:50:06. > :50:09.pride themselves on how quickly they could do it. But there is a

:50:10. > :50:13.practical reason because there was no anaesthetic. So, if you are going

:50:14. > :50:18.to have somebody saw off your leg you want it done as quickly as

:50:19. > :50:22.possible. In the first scene of our first episode it goes disastrously

:50:23. > :50:30.wrong. It's quite gruesome, to be honest, isn't it? Yes. That's

:50:31. > :50:33.exactly right, the theatre, they have stands, people watching, people

:50:34. > :50:38.cheering as live operations are going on. Yes, I think we grow up

:50:39. > :50:46.probably just from books and so on with a sense of what it looks like

:50:47. > :50:50.in our body underneath our skin. And it's, kind of, hard to imagine. This

:50:51. > :50:54.was a time when you did not have that sense of the idea of your own

:50:55. > :51:00.biology. So it would be fascinating to show off and see what is in

:51:01. > :51:03.there. And I suppose it was less sanitised. Because these great

:51:04. > :51:09.strides people were making in modern medicine has not been made. So

:51:10. > :51:12.people were living in a time where mortality was higher, you couldn't

:51:13. > :51:18.expect to survive things we expect to survive. People were probably

:51:19. > :51:26.less squeamish about that stuff, but closer to death, I suppose. But it's

:51:27. > :51:31.funny, it lends itself well to comedy, doesn't it? It really does.

:51:32. > :51:34.It can sound gruesome but there is something funny about it... A lot of

:51:35. > :51:42.comedy is based around failure, I think. That often means you are

:51:43. > :51:48.betraying idiots and buffoons. The thing about these people is that

:51:49. > :51:52.they are genuinely brilliant and pioneering. But they are ahead of

:51:53. > :51:56.their time. So they are sort of doing certain stance to suffer the

:51:57. > :52:00.same hilarious failures and idiot would. It's very good and I

:52:01. > :52:06.particularly like the patient's joining in with the theatre. Anyway,

:52:07. > :52:13.thank you very much. It's called Quacks and it begins tonight on 10pm

:52:14. > :52:15.-- at 10pm on BBC Two. It will make you very grateful for

:52:16. > :52:25.the NHS. A train that was partially derailed

:52:26. > :52:28.at Waterloo station, a story we were talking about earlier, these are the

:52:29. > :52:33.live pictures. There were passengers on the train

:52:34. > :52:35.at the time. A London ambulance checked over three people but none

:52:36. > :52:45.of them needed to go to hospital. South West trains -- at the South

:52:46. > :52:51.train struck a freight train at low speed. Passengers have been advised

:52:52. > :52:55.to avoid Waterloo for the rest of the day. There were already works

:52:56. > :53:01.going on at the station already causing people disruption.

:53:02. > :53:06.That train was due to leave Waterloo at 6:20am. Say you can imagine the

:53:07. > :53:13.disruption. The advice is to avoid Waterloo and Vauxhall. You can see

:53:14. > :53:15.the reason why. That is if you are wondering about the problems in some

:53:16. > :53:20.parts of London. Exactly right. We have seen lots of

:53:21. > :53:26.rainbows this morning but they've all gone now, Carol, good morning.

:53:27. > :53:30.We might see some more today, but this is a picture of from one of our

:53:31. > :53:38.weather watchers. You can see it was raining in Kent. But we will see

:53:39. > :53:42.some sunshine and showers. Such a beautiful picture from Hertfordshire

:53:43. > :53:46.here. The forecast for today is one of sunshine and showers. When we

:53:47. > :53:53.lose the rain across parts of Kent and north-east Scotland. That should

:53:54. > :53:58.happen in the near future across Kent. But for Scotland it will hang

:53:59. > :54:02.on in the Northern Isles for a large chunk of the day, especially for

:54:03. > :54:05.Shetland. Behind that rain, sunshine. Some of us already

:54:06. > :54:09.enjoying sunshine. Showers will develop further and some will be

:54:10. > :54:14.heavy and thundery. You could catch the old heavy shower in Northern

:54:15. > :54:18.Ireland. There will be more frequent showers across Scotland. Some of

:54:19. > :54:22.those heavy and thundery. What a lot of dry weather with sunshine in

:54:23. > :54:26.between. Northern England seeing some showers this afternoon. But a

:54:27. > :54:33.lot of dry weather. The showers could be heavy, though. Further

:54:34. > :54:36.south, less likely to catch showers. We cannot rule them out but they

:54:37. > :54:40.will be few and far between. And it'll feel warm in the sunshine,

:54:41. > :54:45.particularly over East Anglia and Kent, where it could hit 26 today.

:54:46. > :54:48.The south-west and Wales a similar story, there will be sunny spells,

:54:49. > :54:53.looking at a lot of dry weather, with an outside chance of a shower.

:54:54. > :54:58.Overnight, any remaining showers will die away. It'll be a cooler

:54:59. > :55:01.night than the one just gone. By the end of the night the cloud will be

:55:02. > :55:06.building, the wind strengthening, and we will see the arrival of some

:55:07. > :55:10.rain into Northern Ireland first of all. That is courtesy of this area

:55:11. > :55:14.of low pressure with its warm front. You can tell from the squeeze on the

:55:15. > :55:20.isobars it'll be pretty windy, especially through the Irish Sea.

:55:21. > :55:23.Gusts at gale force possibly. And in western areas, with exposure, along

:55:24. > :55:28.the coast and hills, basically the same thing. The rain moves through

:55:29. > :55:31.Northern Ireland, then Scotland, it gets in across parts of north-west

:55:32. > :55:36.England, parts of West Wales, and the south-west. Under that

:55:37. > :55:42.combination it will feel cool. The temperatures are not special anyway,

:55:43. > :55:46.about the August average, but for the rest of the country a dry day,

:55:47. > :55:55.with some sunshine, especially the further east you travel. Highs of

:55:56. > :56:01.22, 20 three. -- or 23. The average temperatures for this time of year

:56:02. > :56:05.are between 15 to 21 degrees. The rain moves across us Wednesday

:56:06. > :56:09.night, claiming first thing on Thursday morning from the

:56:10. > :56:13.south-east. Then across the UK, a cocktail of sunshine and showers.

:56:14. > :56:18.Outside the showers in the sunshine it will feel pleasant with highs up

:56:19. > :56:23.to 24. Friday sees a mixture of sunshine and showers. You will

:56:24. > :56:28.notice it will be windy. We could have gusts at gale force across the

:56:29. > :56:31.south-west. And in the central swathes of the UK, gusty winds, as

:56:32. > :56:36.well. You do make it sound fun, Carol.

:56:37. > :56:40.CHUCKLES I'd quite enjoy a gusty wind their

:56:41. > :56:41.way Carol says it, but then you get caught up in one.

:56:42. > :56:42.CHUCKLES Could you work with your parents,

:56:43. > :56:52.siblings, son or daughter? If I'm honest probably not.

:56:53. > :56:58.Lots of people do. Family businesses are really important to the economy.

:56:59. > :57:04.They are because they contribute about half a trillion to our

:57:05. > :57:07.economy. Many people employed in family businesses. We've been

:57:08. > :57:10.looking at them this week, seeing what they contribute, and seeing the

:57:11. > :57:17.pros and cons of them. Because it can be tough in a family business. I

:57:18. > :57:21.went to meet Sally Creed and his son James Reid.

:57:22. > :57:24.-- I went to meet the father and son team at the top

:57:25. > :57:27.of Reed Recruitment - Sir Alec Reed and his son James

:57:28. > :57:31.-to find out what it's like to take over a big business from your dad.

:57:32. > :57:33.So how important was it for you to have someone

:57:34. > :57:38.Well, if it is going to be a family business, someone in the family,

:57:39. > :57:41.next generation, has to come into it.

:57:42. > :57:44.I said, if you get the Sunday Times next week, you will see

:57:45. > :57:49.And that sort of focused his mind, and he applied for it and got it.

:57:50. > :57:51.Really, so you had to apply for the job?

:57:52. > :57:54.I think there was an interview with Sir Alec Reed.

:57:55. > :57:57.It was a joke in the family - a 30-year interview.

:57:58. > :58:04.When he said, come and join me, I found that a bit daunting,

:58:05. > :58:07.to be honest, because these are big shoes to fill.

:58:08. > :58:21.And I didn't want to mess it up, as we have a good relationship.

:58:22. > :58:28.He thought he would not get a pay rise, if he was joining it.

:58:29. > :58:30.Negotiation is important, even in families.

:58:31. > :58:31.Where does all your negotiation happen, then?

:58:32. > :58:33.Does it happen at home, or in the office?

:58:34. > :58:36.It's very hard to know where work ends and family begins

:58:37. > :58:41.We're always talking about business and sometimes we have to zip it,

:58:42. > :58:46.And we're both very interested in it, so we're both very happy

:58:47. > :58:49.What do you think the key is to running a successful family

:58:50. > :58:57.It is passion, it is ideas, it is energy.

:58:58. > :59:10.So how important is it for you to keep the business

:59:11. > :59:15.Well, succession in a family business is one of the hardest

:59:16. > :59:17.things, and I think it's hard going from second

:59:18. > :59:20.They say clogs to clogs in three generations.

:59:21. > :59:23.It's got to be right for the individual, and it's got

:59:24. > :59:26.The best family businesses are very true to their values,

:59:27. > :59:28.and are consistent with their families,

:59:29. > :59:32.We had a piece of research which said that 80% of people

:59:33. > :59:34.would prefer to work with a family business,

:59:35. > :59:38.and also prefer to do business as a customer.

:59:39. > :59:40.If your chief executive is changing, the character can change,

:59:41. > :59:43.and so can the character of the company.

:59:44. > :59:53.What I would say is, and I think this is entirely

:59:54. > :59:54.to my father's credit, when I joined the business,

:59:55. > :00:02.he would ask me my opinion, and then he would make the decision.

:00:03. > :00:04.And seamlessly, over a ten-year period, that would change.

:00:05. > :00:07.I would ask his opinion, and I would make the decision.

:00:08. > :00:12.And I don't know how that happened, quite.

:00:13. > :00:14.Sometimes you make a decision without asking me.

:00:15. > :00:26.But, you know, it is important to me that he is supportive,

:00:27. > :00:30.But we have never worked in the same room, you know,

:00:31. > :00:33.so we have given each other quite a bit of space.

:00:34. > :00:37.He rang me up the other day and said, I don't know

:00:38. > :00:51.It must be hard, letting go of a business, though, even though it is

:00:52. > :00:58.your son taking over. We have had lots of pictures from people, they

:00:59. > :01:02.are great. This is Mike with four generations working in their family

:01:03. > :01:07.business which started in his mother's front room in 1979.

:01:08. > :01:12.Elizabeth sent this picture of her and her daughter and they started

:01:13. > :01:19.running a cafe together and she says she is already impressed with

:01:20. > :01:26.Betty's business skills. This is a dance school in 1936, a family

:01:27. > :01:30.business which is still going today. Susan says her son is a dance and

:01:31. > :01:35.her daughter is training to be a dance teacher. What a cracking

:01:36. > :01:43.photo. Very inspiring. I wonder if there is anyone at home saying,

:01:44. > :01:46.that's me in that! Thank you for sending in your pictures and

:01:47. > :01:50.tomorrow I will be talking about more the challenges of family

:01:51. > :01:56.businesses. I will be at a nuts and bolts factory in Wolverhampton. No

:01:57. > :02:02.better way to spend on Wednesday. I love it. Do send in more of those

:02:03. > :02:18.pictures, they are lovely to see. Do you remember watching

:02:19. > :02:22.Great Britain's women taking on the Dutch in the Olympics hockey

:02:23. > :02:24.final in Rio last summer? A year on, more than 10,000

:02:25. > :02:27.people have picked up a stick and joined a club,

:02:28. > :02:29.causing a big surge in participation, according

:02:30. > :02:31.to England Hockey. We'll be meeting some

:02:32. > :02:33.new players in a moment - but first let's remind ourselves

:02:34. > :02:42.of that sensational, COMMENTATOR: We are ready for 60

:02:43. > :02:49.minutes of blood sweat and tears, one way or the other. Helen

:02:50. > :02:55.Richardson-Walsh is waiting in the centre of the circle. This time it

:02:56. > :03:06.is scored and Great Britain are in front. The Dutch are inside the

:03:07. > :03:15.circle, the angle, that is a goal. That is a goal for the Netherlands,

:03:16. > :03:21.2-1 in front. That is her second. They have scored, Great Britain and

:03:22. > :03:25.level. Penalty shoot out Ash are level.

:03:26. > :03:34.That is the golden goal, Great Britain have won the Olympic

:03:35. > :03:44.gold-medal. STUDIO: Exhausting watching that. But wonderful.

:03:45. > :03:46.Our reporter Lara Rostron is at Staines Hockey Club

:03:47. > :03:48.in Middlesex for us this morning - meeting some new players.

:03:49. > :03:55.Good morning. Almost 100 children here, they have been here since six

:03:56. > :04:03.o'clock this morning, working really hard, how is it going, Ruby? Yes.

:04:04. > :04:10.Enjoying yourself? Yes. I will leave you to get on. They are here because

:04:11. > :04:15.of that magical moment when Team GB women's hockey won the gold medal at

:04:16. > :04:21.the Rio Olympics, it was amazing, but without the supporters like this

:04:22. > :04:24.on the sidelines. CHEERING Parents like those who support

:04:25. > :04:29.children like these coming to clubs like this, quite frankly, we would

:04:30. > :04:35.not end up with champions like these. Hello, girls. Kate and Helen,

:04:36. > :04:44.you were the captain of that winning team. You were taking part as well.

:04:45. > :04:50.Yes. How does it feel one year on? I can't believe it has nearly been a

:04:51. > :04:53.year. The 19th of August we won the gold medal and that is when the

:04:54. > :04:57.ballot open for everyone to get tickets for the home World Cup for

:04:58. > :05:02.England next year which will be an amazing event, in London. 9 million

:05:03. > :05:07.people watched the final, get them out watching it live, it will be

:05:08. > :05:12.awesome. The legacy continues, how hard is it to train in hockey? They

:05:13. > :05:17.have worked very hard this morning, these youngsters. It can be tough

:05:18. > :05:22.but also fun, that is the best thing about hockey, it has something for

:05:23. > :05:26.everybody, whether you want to be the best in the world, you can do

:05:27. > :05:30.that, or whether you just want to have some fun, and everyone can get

:05:31. > :05:34.involved. Sometimes you have three generations on one pitch and that is

:05:35. > :05:38.such a nice thing. All the volunteers down here today, hockey

:05:39. > :05:43.is a great thing to be a part of. It was a great atmosphere. I will catch

:05:44. > :05:47.up with some of the players working very hard, what are you doing here?

:05:48. > :05:57.We are doing simple five yard passes. Sounds technical. It is. You

:05:58. > :06:04.have two Bend your knees. And hit the ball, I will leave you to it.

:06:05. > :06:10.Well done. Good morning coach. How hard do they have to work? The good

:06:11. > :06:14.thing about the sport, it encompasses everyone from complete

:06:15. > :06:18.beginner to advanced player, and they could be male or female, so

:06:19. > :06:22.what you tend to find in hockey, you get a family orientated environment

:06:23. > :06:28.to play the sport and that is fantastic. If you look across the

:06:29. > :06:31.pitch you can see that. Absolutely. It is fair to say that the future of

:06:32. > :06:39.hockey is very safe at this hockey club. Thanks for joining us. Lovely

:06:40. > :06:45.to see them all out there playing. So inspired by our fantastic women's

:06:46. > :06:47.team. Boys and girls, as well, and I remember speaking to the gold

:06:48. > :06:51.medallists the night after they had won and that is what they wanted,

:06:52. > :06:58.generations of girls and boys to play hockey. And make sure they are

:06:59. > :08:35.playing a year on, and they are. And now we have a last brief

:08:36. > :08:45.Plenty more on our website at the usual address.

:08:46. > :08:50.It's one of the toughest endurance challenges in the world.

:08:51. > :08:52.The Clipper Round the World Yacht Race takes up

:08:53. > :08:55.to a year to complete - and this year it's making history,

:08:56. > :08:58.Nikki Henderson, one of this year's professional skippers,

:08:59. > :09:06.will be the youngest in the event's history - at just 24 years old.

:09:07. > :09:13.What a great achievement, how many people will be on the boat with you?

:09:14. > :09:17.My team is made up of 60 people from all over the world. At any one time

:09:18. > :09:25.there is up to 22 on board with me. Quite a few people. You are going a

:09:26. > :09:30.long way, 40,000 nautical miles? That is correct, I won't forget it.

:09:31. > :09:35.At this point, what are your priorities? Right now, bringing the

:09:36. > :09:41.team together, making sure everyone feels good about leaving. We have a

:09:42. > :09:45.good to prep the boat before we leave on Sunday in Liverpool, make

:09:46. > :09:52.sure it is sorted and get in the right mindset. When you leave

:09:53. > :09:59.Liverpool, for quite a few of you, that is it for a year, you are off.

:10:00. > :10:06.What is the route you are following? The first leg is Liverpool to South

:10:07. > :10:11.America and then we head east, Cape Town, Australia, up to China, we go

:10:12. > :10:16.to Seattle, my home port, then to New York and then to Liverpool.

:10:17. > :10:22.Watching some of the pictures, seriously scary. Especially for

:10:23. > :10:28.anyone who doesn't understand the sport. Safety is your number one

:10:29. > :10:33.priority? Absolutely, we go through four weeks of training before and it

:10:34. > :10:38.is of paramount importance. When you are out there, that is Dean on one

:10:39. > :10:48.concern, and then after that it is good sailing and good seamanship --

:10:49. > :10:52.that is the number one concern. Someone was washed overboard a few

:10:53. > :10:57.years ago? Yes, extreme sports, sometimes these things happen, and

:10:58. > :11:02.even more safety measures have been put in place every single year. You

:11:03. > :11:08.learn from previous incidents. I don't feel worried about it and the

:11:09. > :11:16.crew have been trained well. Give us an idea of conditions on board. It

:11:17. > :11:22.is cosy. You have ten people sleeping and ten people sailing at

:11:23. > :11:25.the same time. You work in a watch rotation, normal life, cooking and

:11:26. > :11:29.cleaning and people forget that bit, it is not just sailing, it is

:11:30. > :11:33.learning to live with each other and that is part of the adventure,

:11:34. > :11:38.getting to know people on board, all these people from different walks of

:11:39. > :11:44.life, we have a nanny, a teacher, directors, lawyers, it is an

:11:45. > :11:48.adventure of people as well as sailing. You must have very

:11:49. > :11:54.understanding partners, as well. You will be away for long time. It is a

:11:55. > :11:59.big family event, actually, everyone buys into it, we have great

:12:00. > :12:03.supporters and they are excited for the start and I think it will be a

:12:04. > :12:07.massive event. All of my loved ones will be there and it will be

:12:08. > :12:13.emotional. You started sailing when you were 11? How did you get from

:12:14. > :12:18.there to being the skipper of this very sophisticated yacht? Probably

:12:19. > :12:24.believing that if I wanted to do it I could do it. That has always been

:12:25. > :12:29.instilled in me as I have grown up, aim high and if you work hard, you

:12:30. > :12:34.will get there, so I've been putting myself out there since I was young.

:12:35. > :12:42.Not afraid to take risks. If you have downtime, are you taking a

:12:43. > :12:49.book? In all that time you must have a moment when you will switch. --

:12:50. > :12:53.switch off. Yes, I love a good book, may be planning the next trip. What

:12:54. > :13:00.is your favourite kind of weather when you are sailing? I love big

:13:01. > :13:04.winds and high seas, getting the boat going fast, that is when people

:13:05. > :13:09.are really pushed and that is when you see the best in people, I think.

:13:10. > :13:14.You will come back and tell us all about it when you are done?

:13:15. > :13:18.Absolutely. I have total admiration for you. Good luck.

:13:19. > :13:22.We'll be back tomorrow morning from 6am with two

:13:23. > :13:24.of the Celebrity Masterchef contestants.
