This is Breakfast. Ministers set out trade plans for life after Brexit, | :00:11. | :00:18. | |
including a temporary customs union with the EU. Critics say the plan is | :00:19. | :00:26. | |
incoherent and inadequate and an attempt to paper over the cracks. | :00:27. | :00:38. | |
More than 300 people have been killed and many more feared buried | :00:39. | :00:45. | |

In sport, Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, says he has "nothing | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
to say" about Phillipe Coutinho's future as his side prepare | :01:17. | :01:19. | |

More from them later. And the weather. Good morning. Rain going | :01:42. | :01:49. | |
east and into the North Sea. Behind that, sunshine and showers. Some | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
will be heavy and thundery. In the sunshine, it will be quite pleasant. | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
I will have more in 15 minutes. Thank you, Carol. | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
The government is pushing for a temporary customs union to be | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
put in place when Britain leaves the European Union to try to smooth | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
the way for business and prevent chaos on the UK's borders. | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
There've been warnings about the extra pressure ports | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
could be under if they face an increase in red tape | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
and bureaucracy for goods coming in and out of the country. | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
Today, the government's publishing its proposals, | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
the first in what are being called "future partnership papers" | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
to try to ensure an orderly exit from the EU. | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
Our correspondent, Adam Fleming, reports. | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
How to keep goods flowing easily between the UK in places like this, | :02:34. | :02:42. | |
Europe's second busiest port, Antwerp. Ministers will say it is a | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
temporary deal, but it looks a lot like the current one. The EU has one | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
external border for the import of goods from abroad. Is import taxes | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
known as tariffs are paid, they are paid when the tariff enters that | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
area. -- if. It can move around countries with no further charges | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
and very few checks. The British government wants something as | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
similar as possible to this in March, 2019. It also means products | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
created inside the EU will remain tariff free, crucial for British | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
businesses from cars to drinks. We don't want Brexit to come up against | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
boundaries and borders, whether it is bureaucratic, taxes, it could | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
change. But how will the two sides worked together further in the | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
future? The government will propose two scenarios. The first option is | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
described as a highly streamlined customs arrangement. In plain | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
English, using as much technology and a little red tape is possible to | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
speed the flow of goods between the UK and the EU. The second option the | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
government calls a new customs partnership. That would be an | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
unprecedented deal between the EU and the UK where both sides would | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
agree to do virtually everything the same when it came to customs, which | :04:06. | :04:14. | |
would mean there would be no need for a border between the two. | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
Pleasing everyone at home in Antwerp and elsewhere will be difficult. The | :04:21. | :04:28. | |
EU does not want to talk about this until it has settled other issues | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
first. Let's speak now to our political | :04:31. | :04:39. | |
correspondent, Leila Nathoo, who's in Westminster | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
for us this morning. What can you tell us about these | :04:42. | :04:49. | |
cabinet splits? These proposals are designed to counter any suggestions | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
there are splits in government. It is designed to show a united front | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
and outlined their thinking. It counters suggestions the government | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
has been unprepared in any way to face these talks. This issue of the | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
transitional period has been something very visibly split in the | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
government. Now we know the cabinet is united on this interim | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
arrangement which the government wants to see similar in a customs | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
way to what we have now. But a lot of critics of the government will | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
say it is having the cake and eating it. That is because there is little | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
proposal among those paper that the government wants to see. They are | :05:34. | :05:42. | |
not allowed to do this if they are members of the custom union as it | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
down to hour stands now. This is designed to reassure business. | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
Labour is saying it does not go far enough and it is incoherent. They | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
say we should stay in the customs union if we want frictionless trade. | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
As with everything, we have to see this as two sides of the | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
negotiation. This is the government's thinking. Negotiations | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
resume at the end of August with Brussels. We will find out how they | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
take it at the end of the month. Thank you very much indeed. And | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
we'll be speaking to the Brexit Secretary David Davis later in the | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
programme. That's at 7:50. Mudslides and floods in Sierra Leone | :06:26. | :06:26. | |
are now known to have killed more than 300 people on the outskirts | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
of the capital, Freetown. Thousands more have been forced | :06:31. | :06:32. | |
to flee from their homes. Government officials have warned | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
the number of casualties is expected to rise, with hundreds of bodies | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
thought to be still trapped under While some stare in stunned silence | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
at what is left of their home, others, with their bare hands, | :06:42. | :06:52. | |
are still searching and hoping. But the grim reality | :06:53. | :07:00. | |
is that beneath the tons of | :07:01. | :07:02. | |
mud, many more lives and homes lay. This man says he has lost all eight | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
members of his family. Then I started hearing | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
other people crying. Many died in bed. It is an | :07:10. | :07:44. | |
overpopulated town where many sharks were crushed by the force of the | :07:45. | :07:46. | |
mud. The Red Cross estimates up to 3000 | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
people have lost their homes. Those that aren't | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
completely destroyed our This is a city well used to heavy | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
rains, but the scale of the damage Many roads and towns | :07:55. | :08:03. | |
are either cut off or The challenge for rescuers is simply | :08:04. | :08:10. | |
trying to reach those who are still trapped, | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
awaiting supplies of food Greg Dawson, BBC News. At 8:20, | :08:15. | :08:24. | |
we'll be speaking to a relief worker who is in Freetown about the latest | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
on the rescue efforts there. You can see, as we were saying that, they | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
are pretty distressing scenes. Kim Jong-un has been briefed | :08:32. | :08:43. | |
by the country's military leaders on how they could fulfil his threat to | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
fire missiles near the American island of Guam in the Pacific. | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
According to North Korea state media, the report said he would now | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
watch US actions before making a decision. Last week, tensions | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
escalated when Pyongyang threatened to fire for missiles into the sea | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
off Guam. The "fat but fit" theory that | :09:03. | :09:03. | |
overweight people can still be healthy is nothing but a myth, | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
according to researchers from two Scientists found that carrying extra | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
weight can increase the risk of heart disease by more | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
than a quarter, even in people Our health correspondent, | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
Sophie Hutchinson, has more. British sumo wrestlers in training | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
for their next competition. Medically, they are | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
classified as obese. But try telling them | :09:22. | :09:23. | |
they are not fit. I am happy and comfortable | :09:24. | :09:25. | |
at around 18 stone. I basically have no | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
reason to lose weight. I'm fit, healthy, I've been | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
down this gym every day Excess body fat is linked to high | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
blood sugar and cholesterol. But some claim overweight people | :09:35. | :09:45. | |
can still be healthy. New research from Cambridge | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
University suggests that, even if a blood test | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
is within the normal range, excess weight is | :09:57. | :09:58. | |
still a health risk. It linked people with BMIs of over | :09:59. | :10:00. | |
25 to an estimated increased risk of heart disease of 26%-28%, | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
compared to those with At the beginning of the study, | :10:05. | :10:06. | |
they were classified as healthy. Then they became unhealthy, | :10:07. | :10:18. | |
and eventually some of them developed heart disease | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
and heart attack. Researchers believe excess fat may | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
store health problems for the future, and getting down | :10:27. | :10:28. | |
to a healthy weight, whatever your sport, | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
is vitally important. We will talk about that later on BBC | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
Breakfast as well. India celebrates 70 | :10:39. | :10:49. | |
years of independence The country was formed | :10:50. | :10:51. | |
at the same time as Pakistan, which held its own independence | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
events yesterday. The BBC's India correspondent, | :10:56. | :10:57. | |
Sanjoy Majumder, is in Delhi. There is a long delay on the line. | :10:58. | :11:14. | |
70 years ago today, the square behind me was filled with people and | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
joyous crowds as they celebrated freedom from colonial rule. A little | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
distance from where I am, the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, addressed | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
Indians from where 70 years ago the Union Jack was lured one last time | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
to be replaced Indian flag. -- lowered. Every Indian home minister | :11:36. | :11:42. | |
has followed that tradition. India continues as a functioning | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
democracy. Not many believed that would happen, thinking it would | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
disintegrate after independence because it is so diverse. The Prime | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
Minister talked about the achievements of India, one of the | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
world's fastest growing economies, 7.5 trillion dollar economy. But it | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
still faces conflict over Kashmir and with China and he referred to a | :12:03. | :12:10. | |
tragedy last week in which 60 people died in hospital, talking about how | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
despite the achievements they have, it still falls short in many areas. | :12:17. | :12:24. | |
Plenty more on that story later and personal accounts of the partition. | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
A pensioner who was stabbed while trying to save the life | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
Bernard Kenny, who was 79, was awarded the George Medal | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
for his bravery, after he intervened when a right-wing extremist attacked | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
the MP in the run-up to last year's EU Referendum. | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
Mr Kenny was seriously injured in the attack, | :12:43. | :12:44. | |
but the cause of his death is not believed to be related | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
Taylor Swift has won an assault case against DJ David Mueller, who she | :12:48. | :13:11. | |
said had gripped her at a 2013 concert. His claim for damages, on | :13:12. | :13:19. | |
the grounds that his reputation had been destroyed by false allegations, | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
was thrown out. Just to warn you Peter Bowes report from Los Angeles, | :13:23. | :13:24. | |
does contain flash photography. A high-profile trial putting Taylor | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
Swift against a DJ. He blamed Taylor Swift for ruining his career when he | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
lost his job. The manager contacted radio station bosses to report he | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
had great the singer at a photo shoot. -- grouped. She countersued, | :13:36. | :13:44. | |
describing it in court as a very long grabber under her skirt. It was | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
a shocking thing she had never experienced before, she said. Last | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
week, the judge threw out his lawsuit, saying that the DJ had not | :13:52. | :13:58. | |
proven anything had happened. The jury sided with the pop star. She | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
had been assaulted, and in keeping with his wishes, David Miller had to | :14:03. | :14:09. | |
pay $1 in damages. She thanked the judge and legal team for fighting | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
for her and anyone who felt silenced by sexual assault. She said she | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
wanted to help those whose voices should be heard is it gives courage | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
to all people, not just women, but all people, to have the courage to | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
draw lines and know where those are, mutual respect between people. | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
Taylor Swift, one of America's top-selling singers, says in the | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
future she would be making donations to multiple organisations that help | :14:39. | :14:46. | |
assault victims defend themselves. BBC News. | :14:47. | :14:55. | |
It is 20 years since the Premier League started. We will look at how | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
things have changed. For Liverpool it is incredibly | :15:02. | :15:18. | |
frustrating, because the star man, Coutinho, have had his head turned | :15:19. | :15:25. | |
by a huge offer from Barcelona. He doesn't want to lose his leading | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
man. If you were filming a blockbuster movie, when filming | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
starts, you wouldn't suddenly have your leading star taken out of the | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
equation three weeks after filming has started. That is how he feels | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
with the Premier league. The transfer window closes three weeks | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
after the season has started. So you want to go in there with all of your | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
star players and he will potentially lose when this early on. And even if | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
they cash in they don't have a lot of time to spend the money. | :15:56. | :15:57. | |
Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, says he has "nothing to say" | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
Liverpool travel to German side Hoffenheim for their first leg | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
qualifying play-off in the Champions League, | :16:05. | :16:05. | |
but Coutinho hasn't travelled with the squad. | :16:06. | :16:07. | |
The midfielder put in a transfer request last week, just days | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
after Barcelona's ?90 million bid for him was rejected. | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
Diego Costa has been told by Chelsea that he must return to the club | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
before they will grant his wish for a transfer. | :16:19. | :16:20. | |
The striker was fined yesterday for failing to report for pre-season | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
Costa has described his treatment by Chelsea like that of a | :16:24. | :16:33. | |
criminal and has confirmed he wants to return to Spanish side Atletico | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
Police have received complaints over Hibernian manager Neil Lennon's | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
celebrations during his side's win over Rangers at the weekend. | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
They are also investigating "offensive and threatening comments" | :16:44. | :16:45. | |
And Kyle Edmund continues to struggle in the build-up | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
to the US Open after being knocked out in the first | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
The British number two lost to Portugal's Joao Sousa | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
The final Grand Slam of the year begins at the end of the month. | :16:57. | :17:04. | |
I can't believe how quickly the US Open has rolled around. It only | :17:05. | :17:11. | |
seems like yesterday we had Wimbledon, doesn't it? You can't | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
argue with more sport, I think it is good. We are having a look at the | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
papers this morning. We mention this yesterday. Big Ben has gone quiet | :17:22. | :17:28. | |
for a whole four years, and it is all down to health and safety, to do | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
with protecting people's hearing that were working on it. Lots of MPs | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
very concerned. You would think they might have realised this beforehand, | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
but very concerned that Big Ben will be quiet, and a backlash over | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
silencing of Big Ben is on the front page of the Daily Telegraph as well. | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
In the picture is of an explorer and TV performer who said he would walk | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
back to Sudan Jeremy Corbyn became prime minister. He was talking about | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
following the general election from the Caucasus Mountains. So that is | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
from the front page of the Daily Telegraph. And this is about a court | :18:10. | :18:18. | |
case, a cyclist who killed a mother after hitting her on a race bike | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
with no break. Lots of newspapers covering that this morning. -- no | :18:23. | :18:32. | |
brake. Sir Philip Green blasted after taking part in a champagne | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
shower while on holiday. And that the EU could block trade deals for | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
three years. This is about the Brexit transition which we have been | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
talking about, and will be talking about with David Davis. And Donald | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
Trump finally condemns white supremacists, after a few days of | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
saying there have been issues on both sides. We will be talking more | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
about the customs union and what it means for businesses. That is in a | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
lot of the papers, in the Financial Times. We have talked a lot about | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
the jobs market and flexible working and about what can be done to get | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
more diversity in workplaces, and there is a story in the Telegraph | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
this morning. It basically talks about how they should be more jobs | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
advertised as flexible working according to the equality and human | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
rights commission. It says progress on pay gaps has been painfully slow, | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
and this is a proposal, one of the suggestions of the commission, to | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
address pay gaps especially affecting women. They say all jobs | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
should be advertised as available for flexible working. It is hard to | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
see how that would work in practice with a lot of jobs. And this is | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
interesting. Do you ever put emojis on your work e-mails? On text | :19:48. | :19:54. | |
messages, very rarely on an e-mail. They say put a smiley face emoji on | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
your e-mail and it is likely to make your work mates unhappy, because | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
they think you are in competent if you include a emoji. Only because I | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
don't know where to find them. We are speaking later to Adam Gemili. | :20:09. | :20:16. | |
Despite Team GB hitting their medal target, interesting comments from | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
Michael Johnson, I think we have come to respect his comments as he | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
has been working for the BBC and he says that actually the number of | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
medals won that is something of a concern following the investment | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
they put in. He thinks with ?27 million of funding they should have | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
had a better return with regards to millions, and how you assess | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
success. He said that it is something of a concerned and he | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
doesn't think there is enough strength and depth. And two of those | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
came from Mo Farah, and he is retiring. Exactly, and a lot of | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
fourth places, and interesting to hear that criticism. We were talking | :20:59. | :21:11. | |
about white moose yesterday, and here are some white dogs. I was | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
blending these stories in. Lots of white animals. I wanted the | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
daughters who had been given a kiss of life, but never mind. Here is the | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
weather. Good morning. For some of us are pretty wet start to the day. | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
Some rain to come in the south-eastern parts of Scotland but | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
that will clear and for most of us, not just this morning but into the | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
afternoon as well, it will be a day of sunshine and showers. We have had | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
overnight rain and you can see it rattling towards the east and the | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
North. Behind it, things are clearing up rather nicely with some | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
sunshine coming through. But there could be some thunder, for example, | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
in Kent this morning from this band of rain which is continuing to move | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
into the North Sea. The south-west England, for Wales, into the | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
Midlands, drifting eastwards. A dry start. We are looking at 8am, not | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
the current time, and it is the same as we push further north in the | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
northern England. There are one or two showers dotted here and there. | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
One or two showers in Northern Ireland but a fair bit of sunshine, | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
and drying up nicely except where in Aberdeenshire and Angus there is | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
some rain and that is sweeping north eastwards into the Northern Isles as | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
we go through the rest of the morning. So through the morning we | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
lose the rain from most eastern areas, then it really is sunshine | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
and showers. The showers are going to be less frequent today crossed | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
Northern Ireland, northern England and Scotland. Some of those could be | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
heavy and thundery. Later we could see one or two pop up in East Anglia | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
and Kent but most will mist them, and highs could be 25 or 26 in the | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
far south-east. In the sunshine that will feel rather pleasant. Most of | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
the showers fade through the evening period into the overnight period as | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
well. A lot of dry weather, some clear skies, a chilly night than the | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
one just gone but by the end of the night we have the next system | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
waiting in the winds to bring some rain. And stronger wind tomorrow, | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
courtesy of this area of low pressure. You can see from the | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
squeeze on the ice above that it will be fairly windy, and with | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
exposure on the coasts we will see gusty winds as well. And here comes | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
the rain moving in, drifting eastwards. But look at this progress | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
across England and Wales. Not very fast at all so far most of England | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
and Wales we will have a dry and fine day, especially the further | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
east that you do travel. So that all moves across us through the course | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
of the night, Wednesday into Thursday. We will have the dregs of | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
it in the east first thing in the morning. That clears away and we are | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
looking at a day of sunshine and showers. The showers will be happy | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
but if you are out the showers and in the sunshine will feel quite | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
pleasant. Again temperatures pretty respectable for the time of year. | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
Down a few degrees for some of us, highs of 23 or 24 as we push into | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
the south-eastern corner. 1819 across the north and the north-west. | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
Then as we head into Friday it is more of the same. We are looking at | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
a day of sunshine and showers, and with the temperatures coming down it | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
will feel that it cooler, with highs up to 21. Thank you very much, | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
plenty more from Carol throughout the morning. Before we went to Carol | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
I was saying we would show you some pictures of what they claimed were | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
light dogs, but they are not dogs. They are actually little light lie | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
and clubs which I maybe should have read before show you the picture. | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
And they are in a safari park in Crimea. Confirmation, not dogs, in | :24:28. | :24:34. | |
fact, they are lions. I will not be doing that again. | :24:35. | :24:36. | |
You might get on really well with your family, | :24:37. | :24:38. | |
but could you work with them every single day? | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
This week, Steph is taking a look at family businesses, | :24:42. | :24:43. | |
and what it takes to make them a success. | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
We are a family, aren't we? It is something we are looking at this | :24:48. | :24:56. | |
week. It is interesting, because as I was saying yesterday there are | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
around 5 million family businesses. So I went to meet a father and son | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
who run a massive recruitment business. A lot of people might not | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
realise it is actually a family business. So the sun is taking over | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
from the father, James Reid taking over from Alex Reid. I went to find | :25:14. | :25:15. | |
out how they are getting on. So how important was it for you to | :25:16. | :25:26. | |
have someone in the family take on the business? Well, if it is going | :25:27. | :25:29. | |
to be a family business, someone in the family, next generation, has to | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
come into it. I said if you get the Sunday Times next week you will see | :25:35. | :25:37. | |
your job advertised, and that sort of focused his mind, and he applied | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
for it and got it. Really, so you had to apply for the job? Well, yes. | :25:42. | :25:47. | |
I think there was an interview with Mr Reed. It was a joke in the | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
family. A 30 year interview. I joined the business. When he said | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
come and join me, I found that a bit daunting, to be honest. Because | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
these are big shoes to fill. And I didn't want to mess it up. As we | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
have a good relationship. Family is important to us both. He thought he | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
would not get a pay rise that he was enjoying it. Negotiation is | :26:13. | :26:18. | |
important, even in families. Where does all your negotiation happen, | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
then? Does it happen at home core or in the office? Is very hard to know | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
where work ends and family begins in a family business. It is not clear | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
at all. We always talking about business and sometimes we have to | :26:34. | :26:36. | |
zip it because it is a family function. And we are both very | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
interested in it, so we're both very happy to talk about business. What | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
do you think the key is the running successful family business, Sir | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
Alec? I think success is as easy as pie. It is passion, it is ideas, it | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
is energy. I am running out of energy. So how important is it for | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
you to keep the business in the family? Well, succession in the | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
family business is one of the hardest things. And I think it is | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
hard going from second to third generation. They say clogs to clogs | :27:09. | :27:14. | |
in three generations. It has got to be right for the individual and it | :27:15. | :27:17. | |
has got to be right for the business. The best family businesses | :27:18. | :27:21. | |
are very true to their values, and are consistent with their families | :27:22. | :27:24. | |
and are clear about what they are. We had a piece of research which | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
said that 80% of people would prefer to work with a family business, and | :27:30. | :27:34. | |
also prefer to do business as a customer. If your chief executive is | :27:35. | :27:38. | |
changing, the character can change, and so can the character of the | :27:39. | :27:43. | |
company. But with a family, it is constant. And what about your | :27:44. | :27:45. | |
relationship? How has that developed? What I would say is, and | :27:46. | :27:51. | |
I think this is entirely to my father's credit, when I joined the | :27:52. | :27:55. | |
business, he would ask me my opinion and then he would make the decision. | :27:56. | :27:58. | |
And seamlessly over a 10-year period, that would change. I would | :27:59. | :28:03. | |
ask his opinion and I would make the decision. And I don't know how that | :28:04. | :28:07. | |
happened, quite. Sometimes you make a decision without asking me. I make | :28:08. | :28:12. | |
a lot these days! But, you know, it is important to me that he is | :28:13. | :28:17. | |
supportive, because it is a family business. But we have never worked | :28:18. | :28:21. | |
in the same room, you know, so we have given each other quite a bit of | :28:22. | :28:25. | |
space. Hardly the same building. He rang me up the today and said I | :28:26. | :28:31. | |
don't know you are. I said I am 54. Let go! | :28:32. | :28:35. | |
And they get on really well. And we have had a load of people sending | :28:36. | :28:42. | |
pictures of their family businesses. Shall we have a look at some of | :28:43. | :28:51. | |
them? We have team from Haslemere Bookshop. | :28:52. | :28:55. | |
There is a mum and daughter and a husband and wife | :28:56. | :28:58. | |
If you work in a family business, get in touch to tell us how | :28:59. | :29:06. | |
It is lovely hearing about them all. And you always assume that it might | :29:07. | :29:14. | |
be difficult, but it seems that it really works for some people. Thank | :29:15. | :29:16. | |
you very much. I'm back with the latest | :29:17. | :32:36. | |

to negotiate a temporary customs relationship with the EU, | :33:35. | :33:37. | |
immediately after Brexit. Ministers want to ensure | :33:38. | :33:39. | |
that an arrangement, similar to the current customs | :33:40. | :33:41. | |
union, will remain in place until a final trade | :33:42. | :33:44. | |
settlement takes effect. The Brexit Secretary, David Davis, | :33:45. | :33:46. | |

Regulated fares, which account for nearly half | :35:11. | :35:12. | |
of all tickets, will go up by last month's rate of inflation, | :35:13. | :35:16. | |
as measured by the Retail Price Index. | :35:17. | :35:17. | |
The exact figure will be published this morning. | :35:18. | :35:20. | |
It's expected to be around three and a half per cent, | :35:21. | :35:23. | |
The "fat but fit" theory that overweight people can still be | :35:24. | :35:27. | |
healthy is nothing but a myth, according to researchers from two | :35:28. | :35:30. | |
and Imperial College London found that being obese or overweight | :35:31. | :35:35. | |
increases your risk of coronary heart disease by up to 28%, | :35:36. | :35:37. | |
even if you're otherwise healthy and active. | :35:38. | :35:47. | |

The pop star, Taylor Swift, has won a sexual assault case | :36:44. | :36:55. | |
against ex-radio DJ David Mueller, who she said had groped her | :36:56. | :36:58. | |
His claim for damages, on the grounds that his reputation | :36:59. | :37:02. | |
had been destroyed by false allegations, was thrown out. | :37:03. | :37:04. | |
He's been ordered to pay a token $1 in damages. | :37:05. | :37:07. | |
Taylor Swift said she took the action against him to give other | :37:08. | :37:10. | |
victims of sexual assault the confidence to pursue their claims. | :37:11. | :37:20. | |
A contest has been held in China that takes the phrase 'hot tub' | :37:21. | :37:27. | |
This chilli eating competition sees contestants forced | :37:28. | :37:30. | |
to eat as many chillies as they can while sitting in a bath | :37:31. | :37:34. | |
It is part of a bid to attract visitors to the Hunan province, | :37:35. | :37:38. | |
The winner was Su, who managed to eat 15 chillies | :37:39. | :37:43. | |
It does not look enjoyable. What will they think of next? Does that | :37:44. | :38:00. | |
cause irritation? If the chilies are not cut... Does it not leak into | :38:01. | :38:07. | |
the... I am not an expert, I just watch Masterchef. Is that not making | :38:08. | :38:13. | |
you want to go there? Interesting. The football season is | :38:14. | :38:25. | |
just under way. Frustration is starting to tell for certain | :38:26. | :38:28. | |
managers. Jurgen Klopp is one of them. He will try to qualify for the | :38:29. | :38:36. | |
Champions League. She is doing so without his star man, Philippe | :38:37. | :38:44. | |
Coutinho. -- he. It has unsettled the player. You can see how annoyed | :38:45. | :38:48. | |
Jurgen Klopp is. He is trying to have plans going, but the first | :38:49. | :38:53. | |
stage could be different to what he planned because his star player is | :38:54. | :38:58. | |
leaving one week into the season. You can see his frustration. | :38:59. | :39:00. | |
Liverpool will play in the Champions League tonight | :39:01. | :39:03. | |
for the first time in three seasons when they travel to German side | :39:04. | :39:06. | |
Hoffenheim for their first leg qualifying play-off. | :39:07. | :39:08. | |
Not with the squad though is Phillipe Coutinho. | :39:09. | :39:10. | |
The Brazilian midfielder missed their match at the weekend | :39:11. | :39:13. | |
with a back injury and last week put in a transfer request, | :39:14. | :39:16. | |
just days after Barcelona has a 90 million pound bid for him rejected. | :39:17. | :39:20. | |
Manager Jurgen Klopp says he has "nothing to say" | :39:21. | :39:22. | |
I really understand everyone's interest, but I cannot say in this | :39:23. | :39:36. | |
moment I am thinking about it. I am just here and I will answer | :39:37. | :39:43. | |
questions. But on the way to the press conference in the car, I did | :39:44. | :39:45. | |
not think about it. Diego Costa has been told by Chelsea | :39:46. | :39:49. | |
that he must return to the club before they will grant his | :39:50. | :39:52. | |
wish for a transfer. The striker has been fined | :39:53. | :39:55. | |
for failing to report for pre-season Costa has described his treatment | :39:56. | :39:58. | |
by Chelsea like that of a "criminal" and has threatened to sit out | :39:59. | :40:02. | |
the remaining two years of his contract, unpaid | :40:03. | :40:05. | |
if necessary, if the club don't Police have received complaints over | :40:06. | :40:07. | |
Hibernian manager Neil Lennon's celebrations during his side's win | :40:08. | :40:11. | |
over Rangers at the weekend. They are also investigating | :40:12. | :40:14. | |
"offensive and threatening comments" Kyle Edmund continues to struggle | :40:15. | :40:16. | |
in the build-up to the US Open. The British number two | :40:17. | :40:23. | |
was beaten in the first round of the Cincinnati Masters | :40:24. | :40:26. | |
by Portugal's Joao Sousa in three sets, after being knocked out | :40:27. | :40:29. | |
in the first round of The final Grand Slam of the year | :40:30. | :40:31. | |
begins at the end of the month. Andy Murray will be replaced | :40:32. | :40:37. | |
as world number one by Rafael Nadal at the end of this | :40:38. | :40:40. | |
week's tournament. Murray isn't playing due | :40:41. | :40:42. | |
to an ongoing hip problem. The Spaniard will top the world | :40:43. | :40:44. | |
rankings for the first time Who would have thought that after | :40:45. | :40:57. | |
all of the injury troubles he has had. England are stepping into the | :40:58. | :41:00. | |
unknown this week. Their first day-night match, | :41:01. | :41:05. | |
and the first to be played The opening test of their series | :41:06. | :41:08. | |
against the West Indies at Edgbaston will start at two o'clock, | :41:09. | :41:12. | |
with lunch at 4pm. The game will be played with a pink | :41:13. | :41:15. | |
ball which shows up better under the lights, a new experience | :41:16. | :41:18. | |
for bowler, Stuart Broad. The Pink Ball County Round, they | :41:19. | :41:31. | |
said the ball went quiet. Quickly. We are going in with a completely | :41:32. | :41:37. | |
clear mind and are learning on the job, almost. I think the team that | :41:38. | :41:42. | |
will be most successful this week is the team that reacts quicker. | :41:43. | :41:46. | |
You know it is summer when there is cricket around. | :41:47. | :41:53. | |
I'm sure the lawnmower has been unleashed | :41:54. | :41:55. | |
from the garden shed at some stage, but probably not this much. | :41:56. | :41:59. | |
This is the annual 12-hour lawnmower endurance race, | :42:00. | :42:01. | |
51 teams lining up to complete as many laps of the circuit | :42:02. | :42:04. | |
the winning entry completing 363 laps of the 1.41-kilometre circuit | :42:05. | :42:09. | |
Many are calling it the greatest show on turf. | :42:10. | :42:17. | |
Yeah. Nice. Is it one of those things that happen every year on | :42:18. | :42:33. | |
Breakfast? She has done that face every year you have reported that. | :42:34. | :42:42. | |
We have tears rolling, panda news... But we love it. Yeah, of course we | :42:43. | :42:50. | |
do! Talking about memories, do you remember last summer? Rio? The | :42:51. | :42:56. | |
hockey final, the penalties with the women's hockey. It was amazing. A | :42:57. | :43:04. | |
year on, nearly a million people have picked up a hockey stick and | :43:05. | :43:08. | |
in. We shall meet some of those new players in a moment, but first, we | :43:09. | :43:13. | |
will remind ourselves of that sensational night in Rio. Getting | :43:14. | :43:20. | |
ready. 60 minutes of blood, sweat, and ultimately tears, one way or | :43:21. | :43:29. | |
another. Alan -- Helen Richardson. Scoring! Great Britain are in front! | :43:30. | :43:37. | |
The Dutch are inside the circle. Inches out. The angle. It is a goal | :43:38. | :43:47. | |
for the Netherlands. 2-1 in front. She has scored! Getting the goal. | :43:48. | :43:57. | |
Her second. Score! Great Britain are level! That is the golden goal! | :43:58. | :44:11. | |
Great Britain have won the Olympic gold-medal! | :44:12. | :44:13. | |
It is still exciting, isn't it? We will meet some of those players this | :44:14. | :44:25. | |
morning. Good morning. New players who have taken up the sport as well. | :44:26. | :44:29. | |
Good morning. Wasn't that an amazing when. It has inspired 13,000 soccer | :44:30. | :44:36. | |
players to take it up across the country having seen the amazing | :44:37. | :44:40. | |
Olympic gold when. I am very lucky because I can be joined by both of | :44:41. | :44:46. | |
them! One of them is the captain. Are you still living the dream? It | :44:47. | :44:50. | |
has been an incredible year. The summer holidays, they are out here | :44:51. | :44:56. | |
playing hockey. That has been the dream and continues to be the dream. | :44:57. | :45:00. | |
I can't believe how many teenagers are here at this time in the | :45:01. | :45:06. | |
morning! We are in Middlesex. Almost 100 children are here. We will catch | :45:07. | :45:10. | |
up with them later on. What do you think about grassroots hockey? How | :45:11. | :45:15. | |
was it improving so well? It is definitely improving. We came from | :45:16. | :45:20. | |
the grassroots. That is where it started, literally, for me, on the | :45:21. | :45:24. | |
grass. It is important to support the club. That is where amazing | :45:25. | :45:30. | |
volunteers are keeping the sport going. That is where hockey grows. | :45:31. | :45:35. | |
How high do you have to train to do hockey? That is the great thing | :45:36. | :45:40. | |
about it. You can do it at any level. If you want to be the very | :45:41. | :45:46. | |
best, the elite, there is a lot of training you can do. But you can | :45:47. | :45:50. | |
have fun and just socialise and have some drinks afterwards. You can do | :45:51. | :45:53. | |
that as well. Thank you very much for joining us. I will quickly go | :45:54. | :45:59. | |
over here. You can see some of the children taking part at a grassroots | :46:00. | :46:00. | |
level. We will catch up with that letter, | :46:01. | :46:11. | |
and we will see just why they are so interested in hockey. Back to you. | :46:12. | :46:16. | |
Thank you very much. It is lovely to see everyone so early, playing | :46:17. | :46:21. | |
hockey, as well. You can't interrupter hockey match by shoving | :46:22. | :46:25. | |
a microphone in someone's face. I was never very good at it, but it | :46:26. | :46:31. | |
was such a fast game. He was a bit scared by it. Kate Richardson-Walsh | :46:32. | :46:38. | |
actually got a hockey stick in the face back in 2012, dangerous! | :46:39. | :46:41. | |
Here is Carol with a look at this morning's weather. | :46:42. | :46:46. | |
Some rain is clearing Kent at the moment. If you are in Kamte might be | :46:47. | :46:53. | |
able to hear or see some of the thunderstorms across the English | :46:54. | :46:55. | |
Channel. They are fairly spectacular. When the rain clears | :46:56. | :46:58. | |
Kent in the north-east of Scotland, all of us are in for a day of | :46:59. | :47:02. | |
sunshine and some showers. Now, you can see what I was talking about. We | :47:03. | :47:08. | |
have the rain in the south-east, some of that is heavy. The rain | :47:09. | :47:12. | |
pushing across Scotland at the moment, and behind that some clearer | :47:13. | :47:15. | |
skies. Some of us starting the day with and sunshine, but slowest to | :47:16. | :47:19. | |
clear away from the east of Scotland, clearing Shetland last. So | :47:20. | :47:21. | |
are the south-west England this morning a beautiful start to the | :47:22. | :47:25. | |
day. A lot of sunshine around. It is not cold. 18 Celsius, and you can | :47:26. | :47:29. | |
see what we have left of the rain at 8am across the south-east, with the | :47:30. | :47:33. | |
remnants of some cloud as well. For the Midlands into Wales, northern | :47:34. | :47:37. | |
England, a lot of dry weather. A few showers in northern England, a few | :47:38. | :47:39. | |
showers in Northern Ireland, but most of us will have a dry start and | :47:40. | :47:49. | |
most of Scotland will also be dry, barring a few showers, and the rain | :47:50. | :47:53. | |
continuing to drift north eastwards. So through the day the likely areas | :47:54. | :47:56. | |
for the heaviest showers are going to be Scotland, northern England and | :47:57. | :47:59. | |
Northern Ireland. Some of those could be thundery, but we will not | :48:00. | :48:03. | |
all see one. We could catch one in the south-east through the course of | :48:04. | :48:06. | |
the afternoon. The temperatures could get up to 26 Celsius through | :48:07. | :48:09. | |
parts of East Anglia and Kent. Yesterday it was 25 in Gravesend. | :48:10. | :48:12. | |
Through the evening and overnight most of the showers will tend to | :48:13. | :48:17. | |
fade. It will be a cooler nights on the night just gone, under clear | :48:18. | :48:20. | |
skies. By the end of the night, the wind strengthening, the cloud | :48:21. | :48:23. | |
building and rain coming in from the west. This is courtesy of an area of | :48:24. | :48:27. | |
low pressure with it attendant fronts, and if you look at the | :48:28. | :48:30. | |
squeeze on the isobars that tells you it will be a blustery day. Windy | :48:31. | :48:34. | |
in the Irish Sea and western exposures, touching gale force. In | :48:35. | :48:38. | |
that it will just be gusty. The rain will come in from the west, moving | :48:39. | :48:41. | |
eastwards, across Northern Ireland into Scotland, getting into northern | :48:42. | :48:44. | |
England, parts of Wales in south-west England. Look at this | :48:45. | :48:48. | |
slow progress for much of the west of England and East Wales. It will | :48:49. | :48:53. | |
be a dry day and there will be some sunshine around. Temperatures down a | :48:54. | :48:56. | |
notch or two but nonetheless not too bad at all. 2223 but it will feel | :48:57. | :49:02. | |
cooler in the wind and the rain. As we head from Wednesday into | :49:03. | :49:05. | |
Thursday, overnight that band of rain pushing through -- 22 or 23. | :49:06. | :49:12. | |
Behind the rain, we are back into another day of sunshine and showers. | :49:13. | :49:16. | |
Those showers are very hit and miss. Some of us will catch them in some | :49:17. | :49:20. | |
of us will not see anything, and sticking with the dry day and some | :49:21. | :49:25. | |
sunshine. With the sunshine it will feel pleasant enough. Highs in | :49:26. | :49:28. | |
Manchester at 21, Aberdeen 19, and highs of 24 as we slipped down | :49:29. | :49:30. | |
towards the south-east. And we are looking at a baby box. | :49:31. | :49:48. | |
The boxes are being delivered to expectant mothers. All sorts of | :49:49. | :49:51. | |
things, like these are rather expensive. Infrared ear | :49:52. | :49:57. | |
thermometers. A bathroom thermometer, play mats, all sorts of | :49:58. | :50:03. | |
toys and whites. Nappies, blankets... All sorts of really | :50:04. | :50:08. | |
useful things, as well as, of course, books as well. In the plan | :50:09. | :50:14. | |
is the box itself can be used as an alternative cot. We are speaking to | :50:15. | :50:18. | |
somebody who knows all about this sort of thing in a moment, first | :50:19. | :50:22. | |
let's see what Lorna Gordon has to say about it all. | :50:23. | :50:33. | |
A first look at a Scottish baby box for these mothers and mothers-to-be. | :50:34. | :50:36. | |
From today, all expectant mothers in Scotland will receive | :50:37. | :50:38. | |
It doubles as a crib, and contains dozens of the essential | :50:39. | :50:43. | |
As first-time parents, I think we're probably | :50:44. | :50:52. | |
It's good to know they have covered everything that we will need | :50:53. | :50:58. | |
I really like the idea of it being a safe sleeping | :50:59. | :51:03. | |
space, and probably for use in the day than at night-time, | :51:04. | :51:06. | |
for bedding down, for naps during the day. | :51:07. | :51:08. | |
More than 50,000 baby boxes will be handed out every year. | :51:09. | :51:11. | |
As well as plenty of practical items, they will also include advice | :51:12. | :51:14. | |
on safe sleeping environments for a newborn child, | :51:15. | :51:16. | |
and the scheme will be monitored to see whether it helps | :51:17. | :51:19. | |
One of the causes of cot death is actually when parents share | :51:20. | :51:24. | |
And that may be because there isn't somewhere else | :51:25. | :51:37. | |
So we think that this box providing us with an alternative safe place | :51:38. | :51:42. | |
to sleep may in fact reduce the rates | :51:43. | :51:44. | |
At ?160 per box, concerns have been raised that offering one | :51:45. | :51:50. | |
to all new parents, regardless of need, might not be the best use | :51:51. | :51:53. | |
The Scottish Government says every child should have the best start | :51:54. | :51:57. | |
in life, no matter what their circumstances. | :51:58. | :52:02. | |
Let's get some more information. Good morning to you. First of all, | :52:03. | :52:10. | |
on the box itself, did you welcome its? Is it good news? For us, we are | :52:11. | :52:17. | |
just really excited to see the valuation of these Oxus, and to | :52:18. | :52:21. | |
assess whether there is an impact, and whether parents understand more | :52:22. | :52:27. | |
about safe sleep messages. It will be interesting to see what happens. | :52:28. | :52:31. | |
It will be interesting, like you say, to follow that through and | :52:32. | :52:35. | |
gather information on it but there is no proven link, is there, between | :52:36. | :52:40. | |
using these boxes, wherever it is, and reduction of cot deaths. There | :52:41. | :52:45. | |
is no evidence based around the use of boxes for baby sleeping, and that | :52:46. | :52:50. | |
is why it an important opportunity to build that evidence base that we | :52:51. | :52:56. | |
don't currently have. To your mind, what is still the best way of | :52:57. | :53:02. | |
reducing cot death incidences. Well, the safest place for a baby to sleep | :53:03. | :53:06. | |
is in a cot, create or basket. But there are many factors -- cot, crib, | :53:07. | :53:18. | |
or basket. Other decision-making factors, like whether parents are | :53:19. | :53:22. | |
drinking alcohol or using drugs, either prescribed drugs or illegal | :53:23. | :53:26. | |
drugs, these will all affect decision-making about where they | :53:27. | :53:31. | |
place their baby to sleep. I didn't mean to jump in there, would you | :53:32. | :53:36. | |
think, then, that because this is an opt in scheme, that maybe some of | :53:37. | :53:40. | |
the more vulnerable mothers actually might miss out, the ones who might | :53:41. | :53:44. | |
benefit the most? Absolutely not. It is a scheme that is open to | :53:45. | :53:49. | |
everyone, and it will be brought up during antenatal appointments. That | :53:50. | :53:53. | |
discussion with a health professional. I think the fact that | :53:54. | :53:57. | |
these boxes are being made available to everyone takes away the stigma. | :53:58. | :54:01. | |
So not everyone has to sign up for it if someone feels they don't need | :54:02. | :54:05. | |
the box, for whatever reason, they don't need to sign up for it, but it | :54:06. | :54:09. | |
is being made available to everyone to reduce that stigma, so that, | :54:10. | :54:13. | |
regardless of circumstance, we may think that someone lives in an | :54:14. | :54:17. | |
affluent area, it doesn't mean that they necessarily have everything | :54:18. | :54:20. | |
they need for their baby, just because of where they live or what | :54:21. | :54:23. | |
they perceived income is. Good to talk to you this morning, thank you | :54:24. | :54:28. | |
very much. If you have a view on that, do let us know this morning. | :54:29. | :54:34. | |
It is one of the big questions when it comes to Brexit - | :54:35. | :54:37. | |
will the UK stay part of the customs union? | :54:38. | :54:40. | |
That is the agreement between EU members that allows goods to flow | :54:41. | :54:43. | |
Today, we will have the first glimpse of a real answer | :54:44. | :54:47. | |
But will it reassure British businesses concerned | :54:48. | :54:50. | |
Steph joins us now to explain this in more detail. | :54:51. | :54:59. | |
What is the customs union, and what risks does it pose | :55:00. | :55:01. | |
You will hear loads of these phrases talked about. Essentially it is all | :55:02. | :55:13. | |
about the goods that we trade around the world. | :55:14. | :55:23. | |
A customs union is a trade deal between two or more countries, | :55:24. | :55:26. | |
where they agree not to charge each other any taxes when they buy | :55:27. | :55:30. | |
The idea is to make it easier to trade. | :55:31. | :55:34. | |
However, goods from other countries outside of the union are charged, | :55:35. | :55:37. | |
and no matter which country they're going to within the union, | :55:38. | :55:40. | |
they will be charged the same tariffs. | :55:41. | :55:47. | |
So if you are selling something to France or Italy, it will be charged | :55:48. | :55:54. | |
the same tariff no matter where it is going to. | :55:55. | :55:54. | |
Often, these customs unions also mean that individual countries | :55:55. | :55:57. | |
within it are not allowed to do their own deals with countries | :55:58. | :56:00. | |
So, if we were to leave, there would be border controls | :56:01. | :56:04. | |
and checks in place, from the day we are out | :56:05. | :56:06. | |
So it is all about this agreement of trade between each other, and what | :56:07. | :56:21. | |
they could impose on us if we left. That is what the UK is trying to do, | :56:22. | :56:25. | |
to make it the easiest possible for businesses. You have already | :56:26. | :56:30. | |
indicated this will be a delicate balance. | :56:31. | :56:30. | |
The Government is talking about a temporary customs union, | :56:31. | :56:33. | |
we still don't know how long for, but is this good news | :56:34. | :56:36. | |
They want a transition period. The day we leave the EU, they don't want | :56:37. | :56:42. | |
businesses to face a cliff edge where they are suddenly charged a | :56:43. | :56:46. | |
load of money for trying to sell their goods. Which is what the | :56:47. | :56:50. | |
Chancellor has been worried about. Yes, because that could increase | :56:51. | :56:54. | |
inflation in the UK, it could cause real problems. | :56:55. | :56:56. | |
This follows a letter from Philip Hammond and Liam Fox | :56:57. | :56:59. | |
in the Sunday Telegraph in which they were calling | :57:00. | :57:01. | |
for a time-limited interim period for transition, | :57:02. | :57:03. | |
but stressing that the UK will be outside the European market | :57:04. | :57:06. | |
If it wants something close to the customs union for the transition, it | :57:07. | :57:22. | |
can't negotiate deals with other countries in other parts of the | :57:23. | :57:25. | |
world. Firstly, there is a legal problem. So long as you are part of | :57:26. | :57:29. | |
or close to the EU's Customs union, the rules do not allow you to strike | :57:30. | :57:33. | |
Iran trade agreements. Secondly there is a practical point. The | :57:34. | :57:37. | |
other countries like Canada, America and New Zealand, don't want to | :57:38. | :57:41. | |
negotiate until they know what the UK's future relationship with the EU | :57:42. | :57:45. | |
will look like. They will have to wait some time until they know the | :57:46. | :57:49. | |
answer. And briefly, two different scenarios are proposed. First is to | :57:50. | :57:54. | |
with the bureaucracy, the red tape that businesses will take when they | :57:55. | :57:59. | |
leave. They want a streamlined process so that businesses don't | :58:00. | :58:03. | |
have two fill a lot of forms, and border checks and things on any | :58:04. | :58:07. | |
goods they are selling to and from these countries. That is one option, | :58:08. | :58:11. | |
but it doesn't include services. It doesn't include financial services, | :58:12. | :58:15. | |
which is a big thing that we trade in this country. The second idea is | :58:16. | :58:20. | |
a new customs partnership, so creating our own customs partnership | :58:21. | :58:24. | |
with the EU. But of course, you know, all of this needs agreement in | :58:25. | :58:29. | |
Brussels. It is really complicated and there are no other deals that | :58:30. | :58:37. | |
the UK has with any other country. It has to please everyone, which is | :58:38. | :58:41. | |
the tricky bit. And this is not the end of the story, by any means. I | :58:42. | :58:47. | |
will be grey and old by the time this is done. | :58:48. | :58:49. | |
Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. | :58:50. | :02:13. | |
Now, though, it is back to Louise and Dan. | :02:14. | :02:21. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
Ministers set out their trade plans for life after Brexit, | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
including a temporary customs union with the EU. | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
But critics say the proposals are incoherent and inadequate | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
and an attempt to paper over cracks in the Cabinet. | :02:32. | :02:51. | |
Good morning, it's Tuesday the 15th of August. | :02:52. | :02:53. | |

The government is pushing for a temporary customs union to be | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
put in place when Britain leaves the European Union to try to smooth | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
the way for business and prevent chaos on the UK's borders. | :04:24. | :04:31. | |
There've been warnings about the extra pressure ports | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
could be under if they face an increase in red tape | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
and bureaucracy for goods coming in and out of the country. | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
Today, the government's publishing its proposals, | :04:41. | :04:41. | |
the first in what are being called future partnership papers | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
to try to ensure an orderly exit from the EU. | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
Our correspondent, Adam Fleming, reports. | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
How to keep goods flowing easily between the UK and places like this, | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
Europe's second busiest port, Antwerp? | :04:54. | :05:01. | |
Ministers will say it's with a temporary deal that looks | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
a lot like the current one. | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
The EU has one external border for the import of goods from abroad. | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
If import taxes known as tariffs are paid, | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
they're paid when the product enters that area. | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
It can move around countries with no further charges and very few checks. | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
The British government wants something as similar as possible | :05:19. | :05:31. | |
to this arrangement for a temporary period after Brexit in March, 2019. | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
It also means products created inside the EU will remain | :05:36. | :05:37. | |
tariff-free, crucial for British businesses from cars to drinks. | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
We don't want is Brexit to come up against boundaries and borders | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
with this kind of thing, whether it is bureaucratic, taxes. | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
But how will the two sides work together further in the future? | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
The government will propose two scenarios. | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
as a highly streamlined customs arrangement. | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
In plain English, using as much technology and as little red tape | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
as possible to speed the flow of goods between the UK and the EU. | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
The second option the government calls a new customs partnership. | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
That would be an unprecedented deal between the EU and the UK where both | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
sides would agree to do virtually everything the same when it came | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
to customs, which would mean there would be no need for a border | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
This is just the start, the UK's reflections about a border between | :06:24. | :06:34. | |
the two in the future. Pleasing everyone at home, | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
in Antwerp, and elsewhere The EU doesn't even want to talk | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
about this until it has settled Let's speak now to our political | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
correspondent, Leila Nathoo, who's in Westminster | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
for us this morning. What can you tell us about what's | :06:48. | :06:55. | |
being said about these divisions in Cabinet? I think this paper, this | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
setting out of thinking is designed to dispel any notion that there are | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
still splits in the cabinet, we've had weeks of very public divisions | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
over this idea of a transitional deal and what we're seeing today is | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
the product of compromise I think, an attempt to put on a united front | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
and an attempt to outline some thinking to counter any suggestions | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
there are divisions here in Westminster and that the government | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
is somehow unprepared for these negotiations but I think in the main | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
it's also designed to reassure business that there will be no cliff | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
edge, no change in rules at the moment Brexit so we're going to get | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
this interim period where nothing much will change. But this idea that | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
in customs terms we'll have something that basically amounts to | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
we have now as members of the customs union but the government | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
says with this crucial ability to negotiate our own trade deals with | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
other countries around the world, that's something that's forbidden in | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
the current arrangements and that to its critics looks very much like | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
wishful thinking. Labour saying these are incoherent, inadequate | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
proposals at hiding all this talk about what's happening in | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
Westminster, we have to look at what's likely to be achievable with | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
Brussels. Brussels has been very clear, they're not going to | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
entertain any discussions about our future relationships without a lot | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
of progress on the withdrawal agreement, things like the divorce | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
Bill, EU citizens' writes, and the Northern Ireland border issue. But I | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
think this is an attempt by the government to get on the front foot | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
to say we want to talk about the future relationship now, we will see | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
how that goes when talks resume at the end of August. Experiment | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
indeed, Leila. About 15 minutes ago Steph did a huge explainer about the | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
customs union and you can watch that if you want on the iPlayer -- thanks | :08:49. | :08:50. | |
very much indeed. And we'll be speaking | :08:51. | :08:51. | |
to the Brexit Secretary David Davis | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
later in the programme. Mudslides and floods in Sierra Leone | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
are now known to have killed more than 300 people on the outskirts | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
of the capital, Freetown. Thousands more have been forced | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
to flee from their homes. Government officials have warned | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
the number of casualties is expected to rise, with hundreds of bodies | :09:07. | :09:08. | |
thought to be still trapped under While some stare in stunned silence | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
at what is left of their home, others, with their bare hands, | :09:13. | :09:22. | |
are still searching and hoping. But the grim reality is that | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
beneath the tons of mud, This man says he's lost all eight | :09:29. | :09:37. | |
members of his family. TRANSLATION: I first saw the body of | :09:38. | :09:52. | |
my sister and called on people to help me and we laid her on the | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
floor. Then I started hearing other people nearby crying. I've lost all | :09:58. | :10:07. | |
of my family. It's thought most people died when they slept in their | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
beds. Freetown is an overpopulated city with most living on the | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
hillsides with shacks that were crushed by the force of the mud. The | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
Red Cross estimates up to 3000 have lost their homes. Those that aren't | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
completely destroyed are caked in mud and debris. This is a city well | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
used to heavy rains but the scale of the damage he took everyone by | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
surprise. With many roads in Freetown either cut off or unusable, | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
the challenge for many rescue teams is trying to reach those still | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
trapped awaiting supplies of food and clean water. | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
Rail passengers will learn this morning how much more they'll be | :10:53. | :11:11. | |
paying for some of their journeys from January next year. | :11:12. | :11:13. | |
Regulated fares, which account for nearly half | :11:14. | :11:15. | |
of all tickets, will go up by last month's rate of inflation, | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
as measured by the Retail Price Index. | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
The exact figure will be published this morning. | :11:22. | :11:23. | |
It's not clear if there are any people on board at Waterloo where a | :11:24. | :11:32. | |
train has derailed. Passengers have been advised to avoid Waterloo | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
station all-day Stoppila Sunzu, you are being advised to avoid Waterloo. | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
There are already problems because they are doing this building work -- | :11:43. | :11:44. | |
all day. You are being advised. India celebrates 70 | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
years of independence The country was formed | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
at the same time as Pakistan, which held its own independence | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
events yesterday. The BBC's India correspondent | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
Sanjoy Majumder is in Delhi. The buildings you see me two behind | :12:01. | :12:17. | |
me were used by the British Empire and now it houses the government of | :12:18. | :12:31. | |
India. -- me -- see behind me. Narendra Modi addressed the nation. | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
It is something every single Prime Minister has done since independence | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
for a country some thought would fall apart after independence, it | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
has managed to endure the functioning democracy and the Prime | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
Minister paid tribute to the fact India is one of the fastest-growing | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
economies in the world but also took time to reflect on some of the | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
problems. The problem of Kashmir with neighbouring Pakistan, dispute | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
with China on the border and also horrific tragedy last week when 60 | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
children were killed in a hospital, an allusion to the fact despite its | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
considerable progress on so many fronts, India still has so much to | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
achieve. We will be speaking more about this later with some personal | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
stories of family members who came out of India and Pakistan 70 years | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
ago and some of the horrible things they saw at the time. They've gone | :13:23. | :13:23. | |
back to see where they came from. Taylor Swift has won an assault case | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
against DJ David Mueller, who she said had groped | :13:28. | :13:34. | |
her at a 2013 concert. His claim for damages, | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
on the grounds that his reputation had been destroyed | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
by false allegations, He's been ordered to pay | :13:41. | :13:42. | |
a token $1 in damages. Taylor Swift said she took | :13:43. | :13:52. | |
the action against him to give other victims of sexual assault the | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
confidence to pursue their claims. The theory that you can be fat | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
but fit is being branded a myth by researchers from two | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
top UK universities. Scientists found that | :14:04. | :14:05. | |
carrying extra weight increases your risk of heart disease | :14:06. | :14:07. | |
by more than a quarter, even if you're otherwise | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
active and healthy. Joining us now is Doctor Rangan | :14:11. | :14:18. | |
Chatterjee, who's a GP and specialist in | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
nutrition and exercise. Lovely to see you as always. Thanks | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
for joining us. We have discussed this before. What do you make of | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
this research? They seem to find if you are carrying extra weight, | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
thought to be of these, then this really can cause you serious heart | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
problems. -- of peace. It's well done, it's a long study that looks | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
and thousands of patients over many years -- obese. There are two | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
conclusions, one is irrespective of your weight, your BMI, irrespective | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
of that abnormal metabolic parameters, high blood pressure, | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
high blood glucose, you are at increased risk of heart disease but | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
conversely, and this is where your headline comes in, irrespective of | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
those metabolic parameters. So if you've got normal blood pressure and | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
normal glucose and normal weight circumference, if you are | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
overweight, despite having normal parameters you are still at | :15:24. | :15:25. | |
significantly increased risk of having a heart attack or heart | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
disease. I think the relevance is this. Over the past two years, this | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
growing idea that it may be possible to be a piece but the metabolically | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
healthy, i.e. Not increase your risk of heart disease. This research is | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
really saying that's absolutely not the case and if you are obese, even | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
if you are doing good things like being physically active, we should | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
encourage that, the last thing I want is for a headline like this to | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
discourage people. Headlines like this often do that. Lots of obese | :16:00. | :16:05. | |
people often say what is the point? If you are obese, and I know many | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
patients like this who are physically active, they are doing | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
lots of things to improve their health, that is a good thing but we | :16:13. | :16:14. | |
still need to get the weight down. A lot of comments on this this | :16:15. | :16:24. | |
morning. I will read out a few of them. What about weightlifters? They | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
seem fit and healthy. Videos and health are not the same, -- fitness. | :16:31. | :16:41. | |
You can be lean, fit and unhealthy if you engage in unhealthy habits, | :16:42. | :16:48. | |
or of a train. These are all very valid points. These points always, | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
when headlines like this come out. It depends on our definition of | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
health. This is specifically looking at your risk of heart disease. This | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
is not looking at joint strength, looking at other problems that | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
happen when people are obese. It is absolute possible for someone to be | :17:08. | :17:16. | |
of a normal weight and increase their risk of heart disease with | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
unhealthy behaviours. In the same in reverse, you can be obese, be | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
physically active, sleeping well, eating well, and that will be | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
helpful. But they are saying that we need to regard obesity as a separate | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
risk, as we do blood pressure, waste the conference and the like. What is | :17:37. | :17:43. | |
important for the viewer is that health is accommodation of many | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
factors. We look at these things in isolation, but if you are obese and | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
you are engaging in lots of other good behaviours, you are likely | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
reducing your risk. It is interesting that it comes back to | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
refocus on weight again. Absolutely. It really comes on this background, | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
the idea has been growing in momentum that you may be able to be | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
obese and not increase your risk of heart disease. This is saying a firm | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
no to that idea. The key there is that you don't want to discourage | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
people who are continuing to make efforts. Absolutely, very important. | :18:21. | :18:28. | |
Let us know what you think. You can find us across social media. We have | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
a nice and healthy debate on Facebook as well. A good way to put | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
it. Healthy. Here's Carol with a look | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
at this morning's weather. We've got some rain pushing out of | :18:41. | :18:47. | |
Kent, clearing the north-east of Scotland. A mix of sunshine and some | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
showers today. Heavy showers in the north, isolated as we push further | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
south. You can see the rain at the moment across Kent and parts of east | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
Anglia. Some really big thunderstorms across the streets of | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
Dover. Rain continuing north-east across Scotland. Eventually clearing | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
the mainland and continuing across the northern islands. Away from is a | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
dry start. Beautiful for some of us, not too cold. Lovely across | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
south-west England, Wales, into the Midlands. Running into cloud across | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
the south-east with the remnants of rain. Across the north of England, | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
bright skies. Some sunshine as well. A few showers across Northern | :19:32. | :19:38. | |
Ireland, but mostly dry. Moving north-east across Scotland. For much | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
of Scotland, a dry and find sad. Showers from the word go. The | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
heaviest showers through the day will be in Scotland, northern | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
England and Northern Ireland. A few of those boundary. We could see the | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
odd shower in east Anglia or Kent, but for most of England and Wales, | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
dry with sunny spells. Feeling pleasant in the sunshine. The far | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
south-east could hit 26. In the evening and overnight, losing | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
showers. A cool night than the one just gone. By the end of the night, | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
seeing signs of cloud thickening and rain coming in to Northern Ireland. | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
When strengthening as well. Courtesy of low pressure. You can see that | :20:18. | :20:24. | |
there will be gusts up to gale force through the Irish seas, with | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
exposure in the west generally tomorrow, that will be the scenario. | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
Rain not moving too quickly. It will through Northern Ireland and | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
Scotland, at three England and Wales it is hardly making progress. For | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
much of England and Wales tomorrow, try and find with some sunshine, | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
especially further east. Feeling warm in the sunshine. The wind and | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
rain in the north and west, feeling considerably cooler. Temperature | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
wise, a bit lower. On Thursday, rain working through overnight into | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
Thursday. Remnants in the far south-east first thing in the | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
morning. Akin to a mix of sunshine and showers. Showers hit and miss. | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
If you catch one, you could be a monarchy. If you are in the | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
sunshine, highs of 16- 24 degrees. On Friday, a mixture of sunshine and | :21:17. | :21:24. | |
showers. More blustery, you will notice it across Northern Ireland | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
and in central parts of the UK. A mishmash of weather in the next few | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
days, but still quite a bit of sunshine to look forward to as well. | :21:35. | :21:41. | |
I love a double rainbow. Thank you for that. | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
You might get on really well with your family - | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
but could you work with them every single day? | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
This week, Steph's taking a look at family businesses - | :21:51. | :21:52. | |
and what it takes to make them a success. | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
It sounds like it would be very tough. Some people get on and it | :21:57. | :22:04. | |
just works. There are nearly 5 million family businesses so it | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
obviously does work. They employ nearly 12 million people. | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
Yes, there are 4.7 million family businesses around the UK, | :22:12. | :22:13. | |
everything from the smallest firms to some of the biggest companies | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
But most of them share a common goal - to pass the business | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
I went to meet the father and son team at the top of Reed Recruitment | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
- Sir Alec Reed and his son James - to find out what it's like to take | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
Hello, nice to meet you. Take a seat. | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
So how important was it for you to have someone | :22:36. | :22:38. | |
Well, if it is going to be a family business, someone in the family, | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
next generation, has to come into it. | :22:44. | :22:45. | |
I said, if you get the Sunday Times next week, you will see | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
And that sort of focused his mind, and he applied for it and got it. | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
Really, so you had to apply for the job? | :22:55. | :22:56. | |
I think there was an interview with Sir Alec Reed. | :22:57. | :22:59. | |
It was a joke in the family - a 30-year interview. | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
When he said, come and join me, I found that a bit daunting, | :23:03. | :23:13. | |
to be honest, because these are big shoes to fill. | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
And I didn't want to mess it up, as we have a good relationship. | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
He thought he would not get a pay rise, if he was joining it. | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
Negotiation is important, even in families. | :23:26. | :23:27. | |
Where does all your negotiation happen, then? | :23:28. | :23:29. | |
Does it happen at home, or in the office? | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
It's very hard to know where work ends and family begins | :23:36. | :23:47. | |
What do you think the key is to running a successful family | :23:48. | :23:50. | |
It is passion, it is ideas, it is energy. | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
So how important is it for you to keep the business | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
If your chief executive is changing, the character can change, | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
and so can the character of the company. | :24:05. | :24:06. | |
What I would say is, and I think this is entirely | :24:07. | :24:14. | |
to my father's credit, when I joined the business, | :24:15. | :24:16. | |
he would ask me my opinion, and then he would make the decision. | :24:17. | :24:19. | |
And seamlessly, over a ten-year period, that would change. | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
I would ask his opinion, and I would make the decision. | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
And I don't know how that happened, quite. | :24:26. | :24:27. | |
Sometimes you make a decision without asking me. | :24:28. | :24:29. | |
But, you know, it is important to me that he is supportive, | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
But we have never worked in the same room, you know, | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
so we have given each other quite a bit of space. | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
He rang me up the other day and said, I don't know | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
They've got the same laugh, they've got the same time. -- tie. You can | :24:47. | :24:56. | |
clearly see that they are brilliant at their jobs. Lots of people have | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
sent in pictures from their family businesses. | :25:02. | :25:02. | |
Matt Sumner's sent in this picture of his wife Rachel - | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
he says the reason their earthmoving business works is because she makes | :25:06. | :25:08. | |
all the important decisions in the office. | :25:09. | :25:10. | |
Here's Steve, Sandra and their two children who run a family butcher | :25:11. | :25:13. | |
shop in North Wales, they say they're already training up | :25:14. | :25:16. | |
This is Chris and his mother, Dot. They have run it for over 100 years. | :25:17. | :25:44. | |
He says he is still really proud of what they have achieved there. | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
Sending more if you have any, it is really lovely to see them. And we | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
will be talking about it again later in the week. You do what your family | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
business to do well, don't you? You're watching | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
Breakfast from BBC News. Sprint star Adam Gemili is limbering | :26:02. | :26:02. | |
up to speak to us live from his training base, | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
after helping the men's relay team to that epic gold medal | :26:08. | :26:10. | |
winning performance Run, Adam, run! He will be talking | :26:11. | :26:22. | |
about the epic gold medal winning performance at the World | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
Championships. You don't want to pull a | :26:27. | :29:46. | |
But temperatures always in the low to mid 20s, | :29:47. | :29:49. | |
and really, there is a good deal of dry weather around. | :29:50. | :29:51. | |
I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom | :29:52. | :29:54. | |
Plenty more on our website at the usual address. | :29:55. | :30:02. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. | :30:03. | :30:04. | |
The Government is to outline plans to negotiate a temporary customs | :30:05. | :30:07. | |
relationship with the EU, immediately after Brexit. | :30:08. | :30:09. | |
Ministers want to ensure that an arrangement, | :30:10. | :30:11. | |
similar to the current customs union, will remain in place | :30:12. | :30:14. | |
until a final trade settlement takes effect. | :30:15. | :30:16. | |
The Brexit Secretary, David Davis, says it will mean businesses | :30:17. | :30:19. | |
And we'll be speaking to the Brexit Secretary, | :30:20. | :30:27. | |
Mudslides and floods in Sierra Leone are now known to have killed more | :30:28. | :30:34. | |
than 300 people on the outskirts of the capital, Freetown. | :30:35. | :30:37. | |
Thousands more have been forced to flee from their homes. | :30:38. | :30:40. | |
Government officials have warned the number of casualties is expected | :30:41. | :30:42. | |
to rise, with hundreds of bodies thought to be still trapped | :30:43. | :30:45. | |
We will be speaking to a relief worker who is there to see | :30:46. | :30:50. | |
At 8:20am we'll be speaking to a relief worker who is in Freetown | :30:51. | :30:57. | |
about the latest on the rescue efforts there. | :30:58. | :31:00. | |
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has been briefed | :31:01. | :31:02. | |
by the country's military leaders on how they could fulfil his threat | :31:03. | :31:06. | |
to fire missiles near the American island of Guam in the Pacific. | :31:07. | :31:09. | |
According to North Korea state media, the report said | :31:10. | :31:11. | |
he would now watch US actions before making a decision. | :31:12. | :31:14. | |
Last week, tensions escalated when Pyongyang threatened to fire | :31:15. | :31:17. | |
And let's just bring you some more on the news that a train has | :31:18. | :31:32. | |
partially derailed at Waterloo Station in London. | :31:33. | :31:34. | |
The South West Trains service has struck a freight train at low speed. | :31:35. | :31:37. | |
It's not clear if any passengers were on board. | :31:38. | :31:40. | |
People are being advised to avoid Waterloo station all day. | :31:41. | :31:42. | |
We'll bring you more on that story as soon as we get it. | :31:43. | :31:52. | |
Rail passengers will learn this morning how much more they'll be | :31:53. | :31:55. | |
paying for some of their journeys from January next year. | :31:56. | :31:58. | |
Regulated fares, which account for nearly half | :31:59. | :32:00. | |
of all tickets, will go up by last month's rate of inflation, | :32:01. | :32:03. | |
as measured by the Retail Price Index. | :32:04. | :32:05. | |
The exact figure will be published this morning. | :32:06. | :32:07. | |
It's expected to be around three and a half per cent, | :32:08. | :32:10. | |
The fat but fit theory that overweight people can still be | :32:11. | :32:23. | |
healthy is nothing but a myth, according to researchers from two | :32:24. | :32:26. | |
and Imperial College London found that being obese or overweight | :32:27. | :32:31. | |
increases your risk of coronary heart disease by up to 28%, | :32:32. | :32:33. | |
even if you're otherwise healthy and active. | :32:34. | :32:37. | |
A girl has died after a man drove a car into a pizza restaurant | :32:38. | :32:40. | |
India is celebrating 70 years of independence | :32:41. | :32:43. | |
The Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed cheering crowds | :32:44. | :32:47. | |
during a spectacular ceremony at the Red Fort in Delhi. | :32:48. | :32:49. | |
The nation was formed at the same time as Pakistan, | :32:50. | :32:52. | |
which held its own independence events yesterday. | :32:53. | :32:57. | |
The pop star Taylor Swift has won a sexual assault case | :32:58. | :33:00. | |
against ex-radio DJ David Mueller, who she said had groped her | :33:01. | :33:03. | |
His claim for damages on the grounds that his reputation | :33:04. | :33:07. | |
had been destroyed by false allegations was thrown out. | :33:08. | :33:13. | |
Just to warn you, Peter Bowes report from Los Angeles | :33:14. | :33:16. | |
A high-profile trial pitting one of the world's most recognisable | :33:17. | :33:24. | |
When David Mueller from Denver lost his job, he blamed Taylor Swift | :33:25. | :33:31. | |
The singer's mother and manager had contacted his radio station bosses | :33:32. | :33:37. | |
to report that he'd groped the singer at a photo shoot. | :33:38. | :33:40. | |
She countersued for the assault, describing it in court as a very | :33:41. | :33:51. | |
It was a shocking thing she had never experienced | :33:52. | :33:53. | |
Last week, the judge threw out his lawsuit, | :33:54. | :34:01. | |
saying the DJ hadn't shown that Swift personally set out to have him | :34:02. | :34:06. | |
fired, but her case against him continued, and the jury sided | :34:07. | :34:09. | |
She had been assaulted, and in keeping with her wishes, | :34:10. | :34:12. | |
Mr Mueller was ordered to pay $1 in damages. | :34:13. | :34:15. | |
In a statement, Swift thanked the judge and legal team | :34:16. | :34:19. | |
for fighting for her and anyone who felt silenced | :34:20. | :34:22. | |
She said she wanted to help those whose voices should be heard. | :34:23. | :34:30. | |
It gives courage and inspiration to all people, not just women, | :34:31. | :34:33. | |
but all people, to have the courage to draw lines | :34:34. | :34:36. | |
the lines of mutual respect between people. | :34:37. | :34:40. | |
Taylor Swift, who's one of America's top-selling singers, | :34:41. | :34:44. | |
says in the future she'd be making donations to multiple | :34:45. | :34:47. | |
organisations that help sexual assault victims defend themselves. | :34:48. | :34:49. | |
If you're preparing for one of the festivals in the summer there is one | :34:50. | :35:04. | |
item you can no longer pack. Pineapples have been banned | :35:05. | :35:10. | |
by the organisers of the Leeds The fruit has been added to the list | :35:11. | :35:13. | |
of prohibited items alongside A spokesperson for the festival said | :35:14. | :35:17. | |
they were worried about hundreds being brought on site because fans | :35:18. | :35:21. | |
of the band 'Glass Animals' tend to dress up as the fruit in a nod | :35:22. | :35:24. | |
to one of their lyrics, which says "pineapples | :35:25. | :35:28. | |
are in my head". The band's drummer Joe Seaward said | :35:29. | :35:30. | |
the decision was fruit-ist as other Can be dangerous, food at a | :35:31. | :35:38. | |
festival, net worth with oasis many years ago, I came out with an | :35:39. | :35:42. | |
enormous pair of black eyes -- Nebworth. There was a point in the | :35:43. | :35:48. | |
concert mid- evening and people through food in the air and I | :35:49. | :35:52. | |
decided to head some as it came down, mistimed it, caught something | :35:53. | :35:55. | |
right between the eyes and woke up the next morning with a massive | :35:56. | :36:00. | |
black eye. There's a clue. I'm not saying it was the fruit, it was | :36:01. | :36:04. | |
entirely my fault but there in lies a lesson for us all! Pineapples, | :36:05. | :36:07. | |
don't take them to Leeds or reading! Carol will be here | :36:08. | :36:09. | |
with the weather. We have an interview with Adam | :36:10. | :36:18. | |
Gemili shortly but also the rest of the sport, John? | :36:19. | :36:20. | |
The pressure is telling for Jurgen Klopp already as he looks to see his | :36:21. | :36:25. | |
team qualify for the Champions League but he will be without | :36:26. | :36:29. | |
Coutinho, who was injured over the weekend, but there's ongoing | :36:30. | :36:32. | |
uncertainty about his future. You can see how annoying it is for him. | :36:33. | :36:38. | |
If Coldplay were about to go on a world tour and two weeks in Chris | :36:39. | :36:43. | |
Martin said he was going to go and join U2 that it would leave a whole. | :36:44. | :36:49. | |
But Coldplay might get ?90 million for him! They could they could get | :36:50. | :36:54. | |
someone else in! That's just be clear, that's not happening! I | :36:55. | :36:58. | |
ruined your analogy! He could have a huge hole in his team at the start | :36:59. | :37:02. | |
of this season and there will be a meeting of Premier League clubs to | :37:03. | :37:06. | |
shut the transfer window earlier so teams when the season starts they | :37:07. | :37:09. | |
know they've got their players and settled squad, which I guessed might | :37:10. | :37:11. | |
make sense. Jurgen Klopp said he had nothing to | :37:12. | :37:17. | |
add on the player's future when asked about it tonight ahead of the | :37:18. | :37:22. | |
game against Hoffenheim in the Champions League qualifier. | :37:23. | :37:24. | |
Not with the squad though is Phillipe Coutinho. | :37:25. | :37:33. | |
The Brazilian midfielder missed their match at the weekend | :37:34. | :37:36. | |
with a back injury and last week put in a transfer request, | :37:37. | :37:39. | |
just days after Barcelona has a ?90 million bid for him rejected. | :37:40. | :37:42. | |
I really understand everyone's interest, but I cannot say in this | :37:43. | :37:45. | |
I am just here and I will answer questions. | :37:46. | :37:49. | |
But on the way to the press conference in the car, | :37:50. | :37:52. | |
Diego Costa has been told by Chelsea that he must return to the club | :37:53. | :37:58. | |
before they will grant his wish for a transfer. | :37:59. | :38:00. | |
The striker has been fined for failing to report for pre-season | :38:01. | :38:03. | |
Costa has described his treatment by Chelsea like that of a "criminal" | :38:04. | :38:07. | |
and has threatened to sit out the remaining two years | :38:08. | :38:10. | |
of his contract, unpaid if necessary, if the club don't | :38:11. | :38:13. | |
Police have received complaints over Hibernian manager Neil Lennon's | :38:14. | :38:16. | |
celebrations during his side's win over Rangers at the weekend. | :38:17. | :38:19. | |
They are also investigating offensive and threatening comments | :38:20. | :38:21. | |
Kyle Edmund continues to struggle in the build-up to the US Open. | :38:22. | :38:26. | |
The British number two was beaten in the first | :38:27. | :38:28. | |
round of the Cincinnati Masters by Portugal's Joao Sousa in three | :38:29. | :38:31. | |
sets, after being knocked out in the first round of | :38:32. | :38:34. | |
The final Grand Slam of the year begins at the end of the month. | :38:35. | :38:39. | |
Andy Murray will be replaced as world number one by Rafael Nadal | :38:40. | :38:43. | |
at the end of this week's tournament. | :38:44. | :38:44. | |
Murray isn't playing due to an ongoing hip problem. | :38:45. | :38:47. | |
The Spaniard will top the world rankings for the first time | :38:48. | :38:50. | |
England's cricketers will step into the unknown this week, | :38:51. | :39:02. | |
the first to be played in this country. | :39:03. | :39:04. | |
Their first day-night match, and the first to be played | :39:05. | :39:07. | |
The opening test of their series against the West Indies at Edgbaston | :39:08. | :39:11. | |
The game will be played with a pink ball which shows up better under | :39:12. | :39:17. | |
the floodlights, a new experience for bowler Stuart Broad. | :39:18. | :39:19. | |
We are going in with a completely clear mind and are learning | :39:20. | :39:35. | |
I think the team that will be most successful this week is the team | :39:36. | :39:40. | |
Day night cricket a relatively new creation. | :39:41. | :39:46. | |
This is the annual 12-hour lawnmower endurance race, | :39:47. | :39:48. | |
51 teams lining up to complete as many laps of the circuit | :39:49. | :39:52. | |
the winning entry completing 363 laps of the 1.41-kilometre circuit | :39:53. | :39:56. | |
Just in time to catch the last hour of Breakfast. I wonder what | :39:57. | :40:23. | |
adjustments they make, obviously they take the cutting agreement | :40:24. | :40:28. | |
away. That would be sensible. Just crank up the engine a bit, a little | :40:29. | :40:30. | |
bit more horsepower. Exactly. Let's talk about some fantastic | :40:31. | :40:34. | |
sport. But on Saturday night, | :40:35. | :40:38. | |
four British men brought the house down at a packed London Stadium | :40:39. | :40:41. | |
as they achieved the unthinkable. Great Britian's 4x100m team ran | :40:42. | :40:49. | |
a near perfect race, beating the much-fancied | :40:50. | :40:52. | |
Americans to the title. In a moment, we'll speak | :40:53. | :40:54. | |
to sprinter Adam Gemili, who's second leg run | :40:55. | :40:56. | |
was described as ridiculous But let's see that | :40:57. | :40:58. | |
race one more time. COMMENTATOR: The men's four x 100 | :40:59. | :41:07. | |
metre relay. Safely away, CJ looks like he's got | :41:08. | :41:30. | |
a good start and he's already taking some ground out of China and going | :41:31. | :41:33. | |
away from France, Jamaica a good start and so to the USA. Gemili has | :41:34. | :41:38. | |
the batons, Japan are having a good run on the inside. Gemili will give | :41:39. | :41:46. | |
it to the third leg. Great Britain still leading and now Yohann Blake | :41:47. | :41:50. | |
has the batons but now in front, he's going to be chased by the great | :41:51. | :41:55. | |
man, Mitchell Blake is going to get it. He's coming fast, Coleman. It's | :41:56. | :42:06. | |
going to be gold! A new British record. Bolt has pulled up. Usain | :42:07. | :42:19. | |
Bolt sadly ends in tragedy for him and his team. Great Britain have won | :42:20. | :42:23. | |
the gold. Go on! Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake! | :42:24. | :42:27. | |
I watched it so many times but it still gives me goosebumps. | :42:28. | :42:31. | |
Adam Gemili joins us now from Lee Valley Athletics Centre. | :42:32. | :42:34. | |
Good morning. So many congratulations. Has it sunk in | :42:35. | :42:41. | |
properly yet? Thank you. It is starting to sink in now, the actual | :42:42. | :42:45. | |
feeling that we did it and became world champions against some crazy, | :42:46. | :42:52. | |
crazy fast teams. Yeah, it's an amazing feeling really and I'm so | :42:53. | :42:56. | |
lucky to be able to share that with the other three guys. And share it | :42:57. | :43:01. | |
with all of us. Honestly it was so excited to watch. You're probably | :43:02. | :43:04. | |
not even thinking with that kind of speed, are you? What were you | :43:05. | :43:08. | |
thinking when you realised you had done something amazing? I got the | :43:09. | :43:15. | |
baton and I was running as fast as I could, I thought get to Danny and | :43:16. | :43:20. | |
give him the baton as fast, clean as possible. I could see we were in the | :43:21. | :43:24. | |
mix, I could see we were leading when I looked across. As soon as | :43:25. | :43:28. | |
Nathaniel crossed the finish line and I could see we had won already | :43:29. | :43:33. | |
on the big screen, I was on the top bend, he erupted and I lost my head | :43:34. | :43:38. | |
because I didn't know what to do. You dream about these things all the | :43:39. | :43:42. | |
time, that's why you're in the sport, to become world champion and | :43:43. | :43:46. | |
for that to become reality, like nothing I have ever it's variants | :43:47. | :43:51. | |
and to share it worked all the fans in the stadium and everyone at home, | :43:52. | :43:56. | |
such a good feeling. The timing has to be spot on, would you call it a | :43:57. | :44:01. | |
perfect race? Nothing is ever perfect but if you're going to get | :44:02. | :44:05. | |
as close to perfect for us as we could then we got pretty close. | :44:06. | :44:09. | |
Timings... It is so difficult to get the baton around at that speed in a | :44:10. | :44:15. | |
20 metre box. Mistakes are made so easily. We'd been practising and | :44:16. | :44:19. | |
working hard and it paid off. You can clearly see it, Adam. Michael | :44:20. | :44:23. | |
Johnson describe you running down the back stretch as ridiculous, the | :44:24. | :44:29. | |
speed you went. Yeah. It was one of the greatest sprinters of all time | :44:30. | :44:34. | |
and to have someone like that of his calibre to describe your running in | :44:35. | :44:39. | |
that way, it is brilliant, it gives you great motivation to go on and | :44:40. | :44:43. | |
try and run fast in the individual as well. I'm really pleased and he | :44:44. | :44:47. | |
had some lovely comments to say. Exactly what I wanted to ask you | :44:48. | :44:52. | |
because that's presumably where you want to go next, to be able to nail | :44:53. | :44:56. | |
this kind of speed on your own and win individual gold, is that where | :44:57. | :45:02. | |
you want to be? Absolutely. Athletics is a very individual | :45:03. | :45:06. | |
sport, we are lucky as sprinters to come together and participate in the | :45:07. | :45:10. | |
relay, which is meant to be seen as quite fun but all the sprinters want | :45:11. | :45:14. | |
to have individual medal medallists and with the era of British printers | :45:15. | :45:18. | |
we have at the moment that is definitely a reality, you've got | :45:19. | :45:23. | |
guys like bowled and Justin Gatlin coming to the end of his career and | :45:24. | :45:29. | |
stuff like that. -- Bolt. It is an open space for people to come | :45:30. | :45:33. | |
through and fill the void. Britain has a good chance and we're going to | :45:34. | :45:37. | |
do our best to do that. Give us a sense on Breakfast, we see new | :45:38. | :45:40. | |
jogging round the track this morning, what is the day like for | :45:41. | :45:44. | |
you? What are your priorities, how much do you train, what do you do? | :45:45. | :45:50. | |
You do get up quite early, you train and the majority of your day is | :45:51. | :45:54. | |
focused around training or recovering from training or getting | :45:55. | :45:57. | |
ready to do a big training session later on in the week so you might | :45:58. | :46:04. | |
come and train from maybe 9am, 10am to 2pm or 3pm and the rest of the | :46:05. | :46:08. | |
day is either getting therapy or eating right and sleeping and making | :46:09. | :46:12. | |
sure your body can handle the work you're going to do because it's a | :46:13. | :46:16. | |
lot of running you do even though we are only sprinters, it is quite high | :46:17. | :46:20. | |
intensity. You have to eat right and everything like that. It can be | :46:21. | :46:25. | |
quite intense but I love it. You can see that. Adam Gemili, many | :46:26. | :46:29. | |
congratulations. We hope to see you again with another gold on another | :46:30. | :46:30. | |
occasion. What I particularly loved about that | :46:31. | :46:39. | |
was that on that night, there was so much attention on Usain Bolt. We | :46:40. | :46:42. | |
talked about Americans being the overwhelming favourites. Yes, it | :46:43. | :46:52. | |
Usain Bolt did his leg in, but we had some amazing performance. And | :46:53. | :46:56. | |
came home with a gold medal. That is what it is all about. We might need | :46:57. | :47:04. | |
a little lie down, might and we, Carol? -- mightn't. We have some | :47:05. | :47:16. | |
rain clearing to the east, some showers to follow. Some showers | :47:17. | :47:20. | |
heavy and thundery, the deeply across Scotland, northern England | :47:21. | :47:24. | |
and Northern Ireland. Where we have the rain pushing out of east Anglia | :47:25. | :47:28. | |
and Kent, it will drift north-east across the far North of Scotland. | :47:29. | :47:32. | |
Away from that, a lot of dry weather. A lot of sunshine and just | :47:33. | :47:38. | |
a few showers. Losing rain from Kent in the next few hours, lingering in | :47:39. | :47:42. | |
the Northern Isles and Shetland through the day. As temperatures | :47:43. | :47:48. | |
rise, some showers developing. India June for Northern Ireland, a mix of | :47:49. | :47:52. | |
sunshine and showers. The odd one will be heavy. For Scotland, a bit | :47:53. | :47:58. | |
more frequent, but not all of us will cut one. They could be heavy | :47:59. | :48:01. | |
with some thunder and lightning. Temperature is perhaps a little bit | :48:02. | :48:06. | |
pessimistic, we could get up to 19. Northern England similar to Northern | :48:07. | :48:11. | |
Ireland. A lot of sunshine in between. Coming south through the | :48:12. | :48:15. | |
Midlands and into East Anglia, down towards the South Coast, a lot of | :48:16. | :48:20. | |
dry weather. You could catch the odd shower in is vaguely or Kent. A high | :48:21. | :48:25. | |
of 26. Not quite as warm across the south-west of England and Wales. | :48:26. | :48:30. | |
Nonetheless a pleasant day, Breeze and sunshine. The odd shower. | :48:31. | :48:35. | |
Through this evening and overnight, any showers remaining tending to die | :48:36. | :48:39. | |
away. Under clear skies, a cool mind. Cooler than the one just gone. | :48:40. | :48:44. | |
By the end of the night, the next set of runs coming our way. | :48:45. | :48:47. | |
Introducing some rain initially into Northern Ireland. You can see the | :48:48. | :48:53. | |
frontier, but if you look at the isobars, that is telling you it is | :48:54. | :48:58. | |
going to be pretty windy. Gusts and gale force winds through the Irish | :48:59. | :49:01. | |
Sea and exposure in the west. Picking up on the rain, that moves | :49:02. | :49:07. | |
through Northern Ireland. Then across Scotland, north-west England, | :49:08. | :49:11. | |
west Wales in south-west England. It doesn't make much more progress than | :49:12. | :49:14. | |
this. This is the afternoon tomorrow. For east Wales and a lot | :49:15. | :49:21. | |
of England, dry with some sunshine. In the sunshine, feeling pleasant. | :49:22. | :49:33. | |
If you are in the rain and wind, it will feel cooler than the predicted | :49:34. | :49:37. | |
temperatures. That rain crosses us during the course of Wednesday night | :49:38. | :49:42. | |
and into Thursday. Dregs in the south-east at first, moving away | :49:43. | :49:47. | |
quite smartly. On Thursday, another day of sunshine and showers. Showers | :49:48. | :49:52. | |
hit and miss, looking at temperatures of 16 in the north, and | :49:53. | :50:02. | |
up to 24 down in the south. She didn't really lie down at all, she | :50:03. | :50:08. | |
was paying full attention throughout. | :50:09. | :50:08. | |
It's one of the big questions when it comes to Brexit - | :50:09. | :50:12. | |
-- It's one of the big questions when it comes to Brexit - | :50:13. | :50:27. | |
will the UK stay part of the customs union - | :50:28. | :50:30. | |
the agreement between EU members that allows goods to flow freely | :50:31. | :50:33. | |
Today the government's unveiling proposals for a future trade | :50:34. | :50:36. | |
relationship with the European Union - but the terms have been described | :50:37. | :50:39. | |
by critics as incoherent and inadequate. | :50:40. | :50:41. | |
Let's speak now to the Brexit Secretary David Davis. | :50:42. | :50:43. | |
Thank you for your time this morning. My pleasure. We are asking | :50:44. | :50:49. | |
to be out of the customs union but in something which looks exactly | :50:50. | :50:52. | |
like it? Can you defend that position when people will say, is | :50:53. | :50:56. | |
that what we voted for? Yes. On the one hand, people say it isn't | :50:57. | :50:59. | |
enough, and then other people say, have your cake and eat it. It is a | :51:00. | :51:02. | |
pretty simple, practical set of proposals that we have put forward. | :51:03. | :51:09. | |
Primarily, there are two elements. When we leave the EU, we leave the | :51:10. | :51:13. | |
customs union. We have to have a transition arrangement which allows | :51:14. | :51:17. | |
British companies to sell into Europe and European companies, who | :51:18. | :51:23. | |
sell ?60 billion more than us, into the UK. There is also the long-term | :51:24. | :51:28. | |
arrangement. We have a couple of ideas. The biggest and first one is | :51:29. | :51:37. | |
about facilitating, using the techniques we already use in dealing | :51:38. | :51:41. | |
with companies from outside the EU who have to pay customs, using the | :51:42. | :51:46. | |
same techniques to get containers through in a matter of seconds. | :51:47. | :51:52. | |
Using those techniques to make our operation with Europe work well, in | :51:53. | :52:01. | |
a frictionless way. It is very practical and straightforward. Of | :52:02. | :52:06. | |
course, we have to negotiate it. Yes, it sounds practical and | :52:07. | :52:08. | |
straightforward, but what makes you think that Brussels will agree to | :52:09. | :52:13. | |
this and say, yes, you can say exactly that? This has been taken | :52:14. | :52:19. | |
some time coming. In December last year and January this year, we were | :52:20. | :52:24. | |
talking across Europe to a number of people about the advantages for | :52:25. | :52:28. | |
them. We sell about 230 billion euros of goods and services to the | :52:29. | :52:35. | |
EU each year. They sell 290 billion euros to us. I was in Bavaria a | :52:36. | :52:42. | |
couple of weeks ago. They sell cars, agriculture, electronic goods. They | :52:43. | :52:46. | |
have got an incredibly strong interest in something like this. | :52:47. | :52:49. | |
There is interest on both sides, not doing each other harm. All of those | :52:50. | :52:57. | |
things, there is a strong common interest. In saying that, there are | :52:58. | :53:06. | |
some people who say, this has got to be looked at very hard. What is | :53:07. | :53:13. | |
interesting, some very vocal critic, some who represent the European | :53:14. | :53:17. | |
Parliament in these negotiations, they have not said there should not | :53:18. | :53:22. | |
be a transition period, but they have said it should be limited. What | :53:23. | :53:27. | |
we are going to do is to go across and talk and say, this is what we | :53:28. | :53:32. | |
think is in our interest. But we will also discuss what we think is | :53:33. | :53:37. | |
in their interests. How are those negotiations going? Are they more | :53:38. | :53:40. | |
difficult than you thought they would be? No, they are pretty much | :53:41. | :53:48. | |
as I expected. I have said in the run-up that there will be turbulent | :53:49. | :53:53. | |
periods. Bumpy times. We will have public differences of view. Of | :53:54. | :53:59. | |
course, there will be some pointscoring as people try and | :54:00. | :54:02. | |
promote their own position. That is the negotiation. This is probably | :54:03. | :54:07. | |
the most conflicts negotiation in history, which we have always | :54:08. | :54:12. | |
recognise. There are 27 different national interests before you even | :54:13. | :54:17. | |
bring the commission and the Parliament into it. There are going | :54:18. | :54:23. | |
to be some bumps along the way. The main thing to remember is that there | :54:24. | :54:27. | |
is a strong common interest in getting a good outcome. If you go | :54:28. | :54:32. | |
into a business negotiation, as I have done a number of times, you are | :54:33. | :54:36. | |
looking for the outcome that helps both sides. That is exactly what we | :54:37. | :54:44. | |
are doing. Yes, you mentioned 27 nationstates, 27 people who need to | :54:45. | :54:48. | |
agree with your point of view. That is one side of it. It has been | :54:49. | :54:52. | |
reported at home that this has been a success for Philip Hammond's point | :54:53. | :55:00. | |
of view. Can you please tell us, I understand there are certain things | :55:01. | :55:04. | |
you can't go into detail on, what is the situation in the Cabinet? Is | :55:05. | :55:08. | |
there an irreconcilable split of two sorts of opinion? One with Philip | :55:09. | :55:12. | |
Hammond and one with Boris Johnson and others and they cannot see eye | :55:13. | :55:21. | |
to eye? The reason I was smiling was that there are two different papers, | :55:22. | :55:27. | |
one saying a victory for Philip Hammond, one saying a victory for | :55:28. | :55:31. | |
Liam Fox. I think it is a victory for common sense. In Cabinet, | :55:32. | :55:37. | |
everybody wants a good deal for Britain. That is the unifying | :55:38. | :55:40. | |
aspect. There are of course different views on elements of the | :55:41. | :55:45. | |
deal. Departments have their road specific interests. The Treasury is | :55:46. | :55:53. | |
concerned about the city, business, energy and industry are concerned | :55:54. | :55:58. | |
about research and manufacturing. They have different views. Liam Fox | :55:59. | :56:04. | |
wants trade deals. My job is to make sure that we do all of those things | :56:05. | :56:09. | |
in a practical way that works, but also in a way which is negotiable, | :56:10. | :56:16. | |
and we can get an outcome for it. Of course, there are discussions and | :56:17. | :56:23. | |
interests, but we all want the best outcome for Britain. From the Labour | :56:24. | :56:29. | |
Party point of view, it was said that this is incoherent and | :56:30. | :56:32. | |
inadequate. How do you answer that accusation? Look at the Labour | :56:33. | :56:38. | |
Party's press release this morning. It is basically a summary of our | :56:39. | :56:42. | |
proposal. That is what they wanted to do. That ancient thing about... | :56:43. | :56:53. | |
Unfortunately, from the Labour Party's point of view, they have had | :56:54. | :56:57. | |
seven different positions on this over the last 12 months. This is a | :56:58. | :57:06. | |
carefully worked through area, it has been tested out with various | :57:07. | :57:14. | |
other business parties. It is the practical outcome we are seeking, | :57:15. | :57:20. | |
that is what matters. That is what I'm worried about. I am concerned | :57:21. | :57:24. | |
about delivering for all of Britain a decent outcome. All the best with | :57:25. | :57:32. | |
those next rounds of negotiations. We will have the national | :57:33. | :00:51. | |
Plenty more on our website at the usual address. | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
We will have more on the issues at Waterloo station this morning. A | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
reminder that passengers are being advised to avoid the area | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
completely, tickets are being accepted on the London Underground | :01:02. | :01:02. | |
and on London buses. Hello, this is Breakfast, | :01:03. | :01:10. | |
with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. Ministers set out their trade plans | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
for life after Brexit - including a temporary customs union | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
with the EU. The important thing is that there | :01:16. | :01:27. | |
will be decent apostles and sensible proposals for everyone. | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
But critics say the proposals are "incoherent and inadequate" - | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
and an attempt to paper over cracks in the Cabinet. | :01:32. | :01:39. | |
Good morning, it's Tuesday the 15th of August. | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
More than 300 people have been killed and many more feared buried | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
after heavy floods and mudslides hit the capital of Sierra Leone. | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
The singer Taylor Swift WINS a court case against the DJ who groped her - | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
and is awarded a symbolic 1 dollar in damages. | :01:57. | :02:05. | |
Good morning. Could you run a business with your mum or dad? This | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
week, I am talking to companies who keep it in the family, finding out | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
how they take, and how they keep business working. | :02:17. | :02:17. | |
In sport, Liverpool begin their quest to qualify for this | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
season's champions league but manager | :02:21. | :02:21. | |
Jurgen Klopp is without star man Phillipe Coutinho for tonight's | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
first leg in Germany and says he has nothing to add on the player's | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
I've been down this gym every day for the past 20 years. Never had a | :02:28. | :02:38. | |
day off. I am full of that is! Scientists say the idea's a myth - | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
and being overweight can increase your risk of a heart attack | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
by around a quarter. Good morning. Rain clearing the East | :02:45. | :02:55. | |
of the country, behind that, a day of sunshine and showers, the | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
heaviest in Scotland, northern England and Northern Ireland. More | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
details in 15 minutes. Carol, thank you. | :03:04. | :03:04. | |
The government is pushing for a temporary customs union to be | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
put in place when Britain leaves the European Union - | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
to try to smooth the way for business and prevent chaos | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
There've been warnings about the extra pressure ports | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
could be under if they face an increase in red tape | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
and bureaucracy for goods coming in and out of the country. | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
Today the government's publishing its proposals - | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
the first in what are being called 'future partnership | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
papers' to try to ensure an orderly exit from the EU. | :03:33. | :03:40. | |
Let's speak now to our political correspondent Leila Nathoo, | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
who's in Westminster for us this morning. | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
I know you will be listening to David Davis. What is the important | :03:47. | :03:54. | |
thing he was saying? The government is saying it has a plan, worked out | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
over 12 months, an attempt to show there is something that has been | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
worked out, something that the Cabinet is united around and David | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
Davis saying this is an setting and is setting out a practical way | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
forward to reassure business there will be no cliff edge, change in | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
rules immediately after Brexit, the customs arrangements were basically | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
broadly stay the same and crucially, he thinks this is something that is | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
achievable in those negotiations. We sell about 230 billion Euros of | :04:23. | :04:31. | |
goods and services to the European Union each year. They sell 290 | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
billion to us. I was in Bavaria 2-3 weeks ago, they sell BMWs, | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
agricultural produce, electronic goods, they have an incredibly | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
strong interest in something like this so there is an interest on both | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
sides of not doing each other harm, if you like. Both to do with customs | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
arrangements but also having a free-trade area in the first place. | :04:56. | :05:06. | |
This idea that we will have frictionless trade after Brexit, and | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
the idea that we have to look at what Brussels is willing to offer | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
and those negotiations resume at the end of August, we will find out how | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
these proposals have gone down. Thank you. | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
Mudslides and floods in Sierra Leone are now known to have killed more | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
than 300 people on the outskirts of the capital, Freetown. | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
Thousands more have been forced to flee from their homes. | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
Government officials have warned the number of casualties | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
is expected to rise, with hundreds of bodies thought | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
to be still trapped under the debris. | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
In a few minutes we'll be speaking to a relief worker | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
who is in Freetown about the latest on the rescue efforts there. | :05:46. | :05:53. | |
A train has partially derailed at Waterloo station, there were | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
passengers on the train, London Ambulance Service said they were | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
checked, none needed to go to hospital. South West Trains has | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
advised passengers to avoid Waterloo and Vauxhall stations for the | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
remainder of the day. If you were planning to travel listen out for | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
other information. Also later, use about how much we will be paying for | :06:17. | :06:17. | |
train tickets. Rail passengers will learn this | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
morning how much more they'll be paying for some of their journeys | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
from January next year. Regulated fares, which account | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
for nearly half of all tickets, will go up by last month's rate | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
of inflation, as measured The exact figure will be | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
published this morning. It's expected to be around 3.5%, | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
well above average wage rises. The "fat but fit" theory that | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
overweight people can still be healthy is nothing but a myth, | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
according to researchers from two Scientists | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
at Cambridge University and Imperial College London found | :06:45. | :06:46. | |
that being obese or overweight increases your risk of coronary | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
heart disease by up to 28%, even if you're otherwise | :06:50. | :06:51. | |
healthy and active. Sophie Hutchinson, our health | :06:52. | :06:59. | |
correspondent, has more. British sumo wrestlers in training | :07:00. | :07:16. | |
for their next competition. Medically, they are | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
classified as obese. But try telling them | :07:19. | :07:19. | |
they are not fit. I am happy and comfortable | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
at around 18 stone. I basically have no | :07:22. | :07:23. | |
reason to lose weight. I'm fit, healthy, I've been | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
down this gym every day Excess body fat is linked to high | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
blood sugar and cholesterol. But some claim overweight people | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
can still be healthy. New research from Cambridge | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
University suggests that, even if a blood test | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
is within the normal range, excess weight is | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
still a health risk. It linked people with BMIs of over | :07:45. | :07:46. | |
25 to an estimated increased risk of heart disease of 26%-28%, | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
compared to those with At the beginning of the study, | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
they were classified as healthy. Then they became unhealthy, | :07:57. | :08:06. | |
and eventually some of them developed heart disease | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
and heart attack. Researchers believe excess fat may | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
store health problems for the future, and getting down | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
to a healthy weight, whatever your sport, | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
is vitally important. A pensioner who was stabbed while | :08:21. | :08:37. | |
trying to save the life of the labouring the Joe Cox has died. | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
79-year-old owner Kenny was awarded The George Cross for his bravery | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
after a right-wing extremist attacked the MP in the run-up to the | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
referendum last year. He was seriously injured in the attack but | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
the cause of his death is not believed to be related to the | :08:53. | :08:53. | |
incident. The pop star Taylor Swift has won | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
a sexual assault case She said he had groped her | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
at a concert in 2013. His claim for damages, | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
on the grounds that his reputation had been destroyed by false | :09:04. | :09:05. | |
allegations, was thrown out. He's been ordered to pay a token | :09:06. | :09:07. | |
one-dollar in damages. Taylor Swift said she took | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
the action against him to give other victims of sexual assault | :09:11. | :09:12. | |
the confidence to It is nine minutes past eight. You | :09:13. | :09:28. | |
are watching BBC Breakfast. We are going to talk about something we | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
have mentioned over the past couple of days. | :09:32. | :09:32. | |
India and Pakistan are marking 70 years of independence | :09:33. | :09:34. | |
But the celebrations are tinged with tragedy. | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
Both nations were formed when the subcontinent was split | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
along religious lines, sparking mob violence | :09:40. | :09:41. | |
The BBC broadcaster Anita Rani has made a documentary | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
in which she and other British-Indians explore | :09:47. | :09:47. | |
how the horror affected their own families. | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
My dad told me that there was two men that pulled the boat. | :09:51. | :10:13. | |
I just want to thank your family, and you | :10:14. | :10:35. | |
So when the violence started, he left? | :10:36. | :10:59. | |
Anita Rani joins us now, along with Binita Kane, | :11:00. | :11:23. | |
who we saw at the beginning of that clip. | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
The emotions that you have been through, that there are few, all of | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
you have been on this journey, so start to see stop let's talk about | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
your family first, you went back to the village they fled for their | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
lives, tell us what happened. I was the first member of my family to go | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
back in 70 years to try and revisit the place my father had to free on | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
in terror and I wasn't sure if the village was even still there. I | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
wasn't expecting to meet people who remembered my family and could give | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
me first-hand accounts of what happened but was just incredible. | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
People remember watching your Who Do You Think You Are family some years | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
ago, you learned about maternal grandfather, tell us about that. My | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
story was tragic but not isolated, this happened to millions of people | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
in this part of the world. My grandfather was with the British | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
Indian Army and he lost his entire family during partition, his father, | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
wife, two children, I felt I had unfinished business, I went to | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
Pakistan where their house was, I wanted to know what happened to his | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
first family, how they died meet you will find that out in the episode on | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
Wednesday night. But this programme stemmed from that, I got a huge | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
reaction of the back across-the-board from people saying | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
we had no idea about this period of history. Particularly the dish | :12:51. | :12:57. | |
nations saying, we heard granny saying something but we never asked | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
her. How could this happen, within 70 years, people have no idea about | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
this moment. Do you think part of it and again this comes out in | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
interviews that we did, it was so brutal, so many people died, it was | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
such a change of life, so many memories, people may be did not want | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
to talk about... Absolutely, spot-on, horrific and brittle, today | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
we are celebrating Indian independence, yesterday Pakistan | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
celebrated the birth of a nation coming you have these two nations | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
celebrating the birth of something very positive in many ways and so | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
how do you deal with that? Also I think there has been a collective | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
shroud of secrecy amongst that generation, don't you think? How do | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
you even begin to talk about what you witnessed and Roger family has | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
been through? And your dad has talked to you about it and talks in | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
the documentary. Would you like him to go back and visit just too | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
painful for him, do you think? We discussed this quite a lot before | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
the show, whether he would come with me and we both agreed it would be | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
too traumatic and painful, what they witnessed and what happened, so many | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
atrocities and to uncover that up to 70 years, would have been | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
psychologically I think, really hard for him so he sent me on my way, was | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
an incredible thing to do on his behalf. I took mum, we were the | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
first members of our family to set but Pakistan, I thought I might go | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
for work, I've always wanted to go and actually, mum did a bit of the | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
journey and then she didn't continue, I went to discover what | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
happened to the family, I don't think she would have been able to | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
cope with the level of detail, the brutality. | :14:38. | :14:38. | |
Let's see another clip from the programme. | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
We're about to see Hassad, a British Muslim, discover the home | :14:42. | :14:43. | |
Did you have a balcony? That has a balcony. Hazard? Let's look. So... | :14:44. | :15:06. | |
Recognise it? That was a very beautiful house. Everything gets | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
changed. Here, too there, I think, it was our house. And we used to | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
live in that... It used to be such a beautiful | :15:16. | :15:31. | |
house, with those lovely balconies and now... It looks like a room, you | :15:32. | :15:39. | |
see? I can't help crying, you know. This is not my country, this is not | :15:40. | :15:41. | |
my house. I don't belong here. These are just four of hundreds of | :15:42. | :15:58. | |
thousands of stories, aren't they? The best thing that has happened is | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
the overwhelming reaction we are getting. What has that been like? | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
Incredible. The most moving thing for me is when people say to me, we | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
are now talking to grandma or my mum has opened up and started telling me | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
things she has never told me in her life. People want to know why they | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
don't know because this is a huge part of British history. This show | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
has given people space to start those conversations, and the huge | :16:30. | :16:36. | |
reaction has been "We didn't know". People want to know why it isn't | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
taught in British schools. That has been the overwhelming reaction. From | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
your dad's point of view, you have had conversations now you are back, | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
how has it affected him? He is proud, but he feels happy that his | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
memories weren't fake in a way because he was only seven years old | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
when it happened and nobody knew if they were just his childhood | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
memories, and what he described was so accurately told by everyone in | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
the village. To hear other people talking about his father, and you | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
will hear what happened to his family in the show tomorrow night, | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
but to hear people talking about it was incredible for him. If you | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
haven't seen the first part, you can watch it like I did on the iPlayer, | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
and the second part of My Family, Partition And Me is on BBC One at | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
nine o'clock tomorrow night. It's 8.17 and you're watching | :17:32. | :17:40. | |
Breakfast from BBC News. Carol can tell us all about the | :17:41. | :17:53. | |
weather. This was sent in by one of our | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
weather watchers and it tells the story nicely because today's | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
forecast is one of sunshine and showers. | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
We have to get rid of the rain from Kent first and also from the | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
north-east of Scotland. That pushes into the Northern Isles, clearing | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
Shetland last, moves away from Kent, then brightens up with just a few | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
showers, the heaviest of which will be in the north of the country. For | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
Northern Ireland this afternoon it is sunshine and showers, some heavy | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
ones for you. The show is more frequent across Scotland. You can | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
see the odd flash of lightning. But there will be a lot of dry weather | :18:36. | :18:42. | |
and temperatures could reach 19 in Edinburgh. A lot of dry weather with | :18:43. | :18:49. | |
sunny spells, as we comes up a lot of dry weather. Some showers in East | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
Anglia and Kent, but here we could hit 26 Celsius yesterday. In the | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
southern counties of England, into south-west England and Wales a lot | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
of dry weather. The odd shower, but the showers across England and Wales | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
will be fewer and further between. Tonight the showers will fade, you | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
will have a clearer night and by the end of the night we have got the | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
wind picking up, thicker cloud and some rain arriving in Northern | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
Ireland and it's all courtesy of this low pressure and its weather | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
fronts. These will come in towards the UK during the course of | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
tomorrow. You can see the squeeze on the isobars indicating it will be | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
windy, gusting to gale force. But the Rangers and make huge progress. | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
It rattles through Northern Ireland fairly quickly, then moves across | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
Scotland but just gets into north-west England, parts of west | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
Wales and south-west England. Ahead of it, the cloud will build and if | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
you are under this combination it will feel cooler. But if you push | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
further east, it is a much drier and brighter scenario, particularly the | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
further east you travel, you will more sunshine. On Thursday that rain | :20:06. | :20:15. | |
clears south-east during the course of the morning, leaving behind it | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
another day of sunshine and showers. The showers are still very much hit | :20:21. | :20:27. | |
and miss. Moving into Friday, it still is sunshine and showers but | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
the main differences it's going to be a blustery day, quite windy with | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
gales across the north-west but through the central swathe of the | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
UK, again you will notice the wind. In the sunshine, rise up to 21. | :20:41. | :20:47. | |
Thank you, Carol, see you in a few minutes. | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
More than 300 people are thought to have died in mudslides and flooding | :20:53. | :21:02. | |
near Sierra Leone's capital, Freetown. | :21:03. | :21:36. | |
A hillside in Regent, a mountainous town 15 | :21:37. | :21:38. | |
miles east of Freetown, collapsed in the early hours | :21:39. | :21:40. | |
of Monday morning after heavy rains, leaving hundreds of people trapped. | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
Let's speak now to Ishmael Charles, | :21:46. | :21:46. | |
who's in Freetown and works for the Healey International | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
There is no possibility of survival at this time. If even there was any | :21:50. | :22:00. | |
survivor they would have died already because of the weight of the | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
soil. Described as far as you know what happened. It seems like a whole | :22:06. | :22:18. | |
side of a mountain came down. INAUDIBLE. Apologies. I think we | :22:19. | :22:33. | |
have lost Ishmael, but he was saying there may be no more survivors. We | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
can go back to him. I was just asking you to describe what | :22:39. | :22:46. | |
happened. Apologies to Ishmael and you at home, we cannot get that line | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
back to Freetown. You can get an understanding of the gravity of the | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
situation. We saw the pictures earlier, 300 | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
feared dead and the search for survivors go on, but we saw pictures | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
of the whole side of a mountain covered with mud slides and the | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
homes have been completely removed, searching for bodies. One man in | :23:09. | :23:11. | |
particular lost eight members of his family. | :23:12. | :23:19. | |
Also, we do know the number feared to have died may go up. The news | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
channel will keep you up-to-date with that throughout the day. | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
We have had a lot of sport from the programme today, but cast your mind | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
back to the Olympics about a year ago. Millions tuned in to watch | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
Britain's women win the gold medal against the Dutch, the penalty shoot | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
out to claim the top goal. Since then there's been a surge in people | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
playing and signing up to hockey clubs all over the UK. | :23:51. | :23:58. | |
Our reporter Lara Rostron is out on the hockey pitch this morning. | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
Yes, good morning. I'm dodging hockey balls as we speak. We have | :24:05. | :24:15. | |
almost 100 kids playing. This is Staines hockey club. After that | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
amazing win last year in Rio when the women's hockey group won gold at | :24:20. | :24:27. | |
the Olympics, there's been something like 13,000 people joining hockey | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
clubs across the UK. We have some little one here, let me chat to | :24:32. | :24:38. | |
Jessica. Take out the gumshield, she has all the gear. How old were you | :24:39. | :24:45. | |
when you started hockey? When I was two in the basement I started | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
playing with my mum and dad with a little stick. Can you show us that | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
little stick? It is tiny, we might be able to see it later. It's only | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
about that long. You really enjoy hockey, don't you? It is lovely. | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
Jessica is one of the tots here who was playing but we also have the | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
woman who was team captain in the Olympics last year at Rio and we | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
will be catching up with Kate Richardson Walsh later in the | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
programme. She will be telling us what she's doing to encourage more | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
youngsters and adults into the sport. Kate, can you just let us | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
know how you are getting people interested in this because it's a | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
tough sport, isn't it? Yes, but it is for everyone, all ages and | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
abilities. All of the home nations are getting out into as many clubs | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
and schools as possible. It's lovely to see so many people out here this | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
morning. How do you feel one year on since the goal at the Olympics? It | :25:52. | :25:59. | |
is incredible. We can get all of the amazing people who supported us down | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
supporting England at the World Cup, home venue, it should be an amazing | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
atmosphere. Phenomenal, so you have the World Championships next year as | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
well, good luck with that. And we are talking about another kind of | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
sport soon. Yes, 25 years of the Premier League. Things have changed | :26:24. | :26:30. | |
a lot since 1990, Bryan Robson was the record signing for 1.5 million | :26:31. | :26:33. | |
quid. Lots of people getting in touch | :26:34. | :26:40. | |
about that exact thing, inflation and prices. | :26:41. | :26:43. | |
It gets people's goat because there's so many money involved but | :26:44. | :26:46. | |
footballers would say you are worth the amount people are willing to pay | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
you. It might not be the best league but it is certainly the most | :26:53. | :26:55. | |
watchable. Thank you for your comments. We are | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
enjoying reading them. Time to get the news, travel and weather where | :27:02. | :27:02. | |
you are. I'm back with the latest | :27:03. | :30:22. | |
from the BBC London Hello, this is Breakfast | :30:23. | :30:24. | |
with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. The Government is to outline plans | :30:25. | :30:36. | |
to negotiate a temporary customs relationship with the EU, | :30:37. | :30:39. | |
immediately after Brexit. Ministers want to ensure | :30:40. | :30:41. | |
that an arrangement, similar to the current customs | :30:42. | :30:45. | |
union, will remain in place until a final trade | :30:46. | :30:47. | |
settlement takes effect. Earlier on Breakfast, | :30:48. | :30:49. | |
the Brexit Secretary - David Davis said he believes | :30:50. | :30:52. | |
the deal is achievable. This is probably the most complex | :30:53. | :31:04. | |
negotiation in history which we have always recognised, it was a tough | :31:05. | :31:08. | |
one, there are 27 different national interests before you bring the | :31:09. | :31:11. | |
commission and the parliament into it so of course it will have some | :31:12. | :31:16. | |
bumps along the way. But at the end of the day be driving thing to | :31:17. | :31:19. | |
remember is that there is a strong common interest in getting a good | :31:20. | :31:27. | |
outcome. You go into a business negotiation as I have done many | :31:28. | :31:30. | |
times, we are looking for the outcome which helps both sides and | :31:31. | :31:31. | |
that is what we are doing here. Mudslides and floods in Sierra Leone | :31:32. | :31:35. | |
are now known to have killed more than 300 people on the outskirts | :31:36. | :31:38. | |
of the capital, Freetown. Thousands more have been forced | :31:39. | :31:40. | |
to flee from their homes. Government officials have warned | :31:41. | :31:43. | |
the number of casualties is expected to rise, | :31:44. | :31:46. | |
with hundreds of bodies thought to And let's just bring you some more | :31:47. | :31:49. | |
on the news that a train has partially derailed at Waterloo | :31:50. | :32:01. | |
station in London. There were passengers on the train | :32:02. | :32:02. | |
and London Ambulance Service said they checked three people over, | :32:03. | :32:05. | |
but none needed to go to hospital. The South West Trains service struck | :32:06. | :32:09. | |
a freight train at low speed. South West Trains has advised | :32:10. | :32:14. | |
passengers to avoid Waterloo and Vauxhall stations | :32:15. | :32:17. | |
for the remainder of today. In a statement Network Rail said | :32:18. | :32:20. | |
the incident happened as the train was pulling away from its platform | :32:21. | :32:24. | |
at Waterloo at 540am. An investigation to establish the | :32:25. | :32:27. | |
cause of the incident is underway. Rail passengers will learn this | :32:28. | :32:34. | |
morning how much more they'll be paying for some of their journeys | :32:35. | :32:37. | |

published this morning. It's expected to be around 3.5% - | :32:48. | :32:55. | |
well above average wage rises. The "fat but fit" theory that | :32:56. | :33:00. | |
overweight people can still be healthy is nothing but a myth, | :33:01. | :33:03. | |
according to researchers from two Scientists at Cambridge University | :33:04. | :33:06. | |
and Imperial College London found that being obese or overweight | :33:07. | :33:10. | |
increases your risk of coronary heart disease by up to 28% - | :33:11. | :33:15. | |
even if you're otherwise healthy Thank you for all the comments you | :33:16. | :33:24. | |
have sent on that one, on both sides of the debate. People getting quite | :33:25. | :33:27. | |
agitated by the research. A box filled with essentials | :33:28. | :33:33. | |
for newborn babies will be arriving at the homes of new mothers | :33:34. | :33:36. | |

by a scheme in Finland to give all new mums a starter pack | :33:39. | :33:42. | |
of things like clothes, But the box also doubles up | :33:43. | :33:45. | |

a sexual assault case She said he had groped her | :33:54. | :33:58. | |
at a concert in 2013. His claim for damages, | :33:59. | :34:05. | |
on the grounds that his reputation had been destroyed by false | :34:06. | :34:08. | |
allegations, was thrown out. Just to warn you Peter Bowes | :34:09. | :34:10. | |

contacted his radio station bosses to report that he'd groped | :34:28. | :34:34. | |
the singer at a photo shoot. She countersued for the assault, | :34:35. | :34:41. | |
describing it in court as a very It was a shocking thing | :34:42. | :34:46. | |
she had never experienced Last week, the judge | :34:47. | :34:49. | |
threw out his lawsuit, saying the DJ had not shown that | :34:50. | :34:55. | |

continued, and the jury sided She had been assaulted, | :35:01. | :35:02. | |
and in keeping with her wishes, Mr Mueller was ordered | :35:03. | :35:06. | |
to pay $1 in damages. In a statement, she thanked | :35:07. | :35:12. | |
the judge and legal team for fighting for her and anyone | :35:13. | :35:15. | |
who felt silenced by sexual assault. She said she wanted to help those | :35:16. | :35:18. | |
whose voices should be heard. It gives courage to all people, | :35:19. | :35:22. | |
not just women, but all people, to have the courage to draw lines | :35:23. | :35:26. | |
and to know where those lines are, the lines of mutual | :35:27. | :35:29. | |
respect between people. Taylor Swift, who's one of America's | :35:30. | :35:33. | |
top-selling singers, says in the future she would be | :35:34. | :35:38. | |

forward to the new league. 25 years to the day | :36:16. | :36:56. | |
since the Premier League kicked off we'll be looking at some | :36:57. | :36:58. | |
of the highs and lows of the most popular domestic sports competition | :36:59. | :37:01. | |
in the world. We'll be joined by one | :37:02. | :37:03. | |
of the stars of "Quacks" - a new comedy about the daring | :37:04. | :37:06. | |
doctors of the Victorian age - who took pride in being handy | :37:07. | :37:09. | |
with a hacksaw and let audiences in to watch their | :37:10. | :37:12. | |
gruesome operations. We'll be joined by the woman who's | :37:13. | :37:13. | |
made history as the youngest ever skipper to lead a team | :37:14. | :37:16. | |
in the Clipper Yacht Race, just before she sets sail | :37:17. | :37:19. | |
on her epic round-the-world trip. And now the rest of the sport. We | :37:20. | :37:25. | |
are talking about the realities of life in the Premier League. Jurgen | :37:26. | :37:32. | |
Klopp is very frustrated because all the questions in the lead up to his | :37:33. | :37:38. | |
game in the Champions League qualifying match are all about one | :37:39. | :37:43. | |
player, Coutinho, Barcelona have bid for him. He is unsettled. It is a | :37:44. | :37:51. | |
big match, but all the talk is about one player in particular. It has | :37:52. | :37:57. | |
unsettled the team and his preparations and he is very | :37:58. | :38:00. | |
frustrated and that is as a result of the transfer window which does | :38:01. | :38:03. | |
not close until three weeks after the start of the season. It upsets | :38:04. | :38:09. | |
teams and their preparations and that is what he is experiencing at | :38:10. | :38:10. | |
the moment. Jurgen Klopp says he's got nothing | :38:11. | :38:12. | |
to add on the player's future when asked about it ahead | :38:13. | :38:15. | |
of tonight's champions league The forward didn't feature | :38:16. | :38:17. | |
for Liverpool on the weekend because of injury, but handed | :38:18. | :38:23. | |
in a transfer request last week, just days after Barcelona had | :38:24. | :38:25. | |
a ?90 million bid rejected. I really understand everyone's | :38:26. | :38:31. | |
interest, but I cannot say in this I am just here and I | :38:32. | :38:34. | |
will answer questions. But on the way to the press | :38:35. | :38:41. | |
conference in the car, Because I have to think about the | :38:42. | :38:44. | |
team. Chelsea striker Diego Costa has been | :38:45. | :38:52. | |
told he wont be granted a move away He's been fined after failing | :38:53. | :38:56. | |
to report for pre-season He's threatened to sit | :38:57. | :38:59. | |
out the remaining two years of his contract - | :39:00. | :39:04. | |
unpaid if necessary - if the club British number two Kyle Edmund | :39:05. | :39:07. | |
continues to struggle in the build-up to the last grand | :39:08. | :39:12. | |
slam of the year, the US Open which begins at | :39:13. | :39:15. | |
the end of the month. He was beaten in the first | :39:16. | :39:18. | |
round of the Cincinnati Masters by Portugal's Joao Sousa in three | :39:19. | :39:20. | |
sets, after being knocked out in the first round of | :39:21. | :39:23. | |
the Montreal Masters last week. Meanwhile, Andy Murray will be | :39:24. | :39:25. | |
replaced as world number one by Rafael Nadal at the end | :39:26. | :39:28. | |
of this week's tournament. Murray isn't playing due | :39:29. | :39:30. | |
to an ongoing hip problem. The Spaniard will top the world | :39:31. | :39:32. | |
rankings for the first England's cricketers will step | :39:33. | :39:35. | |
into the unknown this week, when they play their first day-night | :39:36. | :39:40. | |
Test match - the first to be The opening Test of their series | :39:41. | :39:44. | |
against the West Indies at Edgbaston will start at two o'clock | :39:45. | :39:49. | |
on Thursday, with The day's play will | :39:50. | :39:55. | |
finish at around 9. The player's have been getting used | :39:56. | :39:59. | |
to playing with a pink ball which will show up better under | :40:00. | :40:02. | |
the lights, something of a new experience | :40:03. | :40:04. | |
for bowler Stuart Broad. The Pink Ball County Round, they | :40:05. | :40:07. | |
said the ball went quite quickly. We have got to be adaptable. The | :40:08. | :40:12. | |
exciting thing as a player... We are going in with a completely | :40:13. | :40:19. | |
clear mind and are learning I think the team that will be most | :40:20. | :40:22. | |
successful this week is the team Exciting times for the players and I | :40:23. | :40:31. | |
guess it is for the fans as well, getting to watch Test match cricket | :40:32. | :40:34. | |
until nine o'clock, that will be a new experience for everyone. Great | :40:35. | :40:40. | |
fun. We are going to talk about football again. It is not my fault! | :40:41. | :40:45. | |
It was a moment that changed football - | :40:46. | :40:47. | |
The Premier League was launched 25 years ago today, turning | :40:48. | :40:50. | |
the English national game into a global commodity. | :40:51. | :40:53. | |
Before we explore this further, let's open our sticker book | :40:54. | :40:59. | |
Rory Smith is Chief Soccer Correspondent | :41:00. | :41:08. | |
for the New York Times and Dan Jones is a football finance expert. | :41:09. | :41:13. | |
Let's go back to 1992, football was very different. The way we talk | :41:14. | :41:24. | |
about transfers these days, breaking the ?200 million barrier, but things | :41:25. | :41:28. | |
were different then. It was not as glamorous and the production values | :41:29. | :41:32. | |
were lower and the Premier League has had a big impact on the way we | :41:33. | :41:35. | |
look at football and what it looks like in every way, the kits, | :41:36. | :41:41. | |
haircuts, everything is different. You don't have players with | :41:42. | :41:43. | |
moustaches animal which is a disappointment. It is essentially a | :41:44. | :41:50. | |
different sport -- any law which is a disappointment. It is so much | :41:51. | :41:56. | |
about money, and almost everyone is talking about finances. Gary says | :41:57. | :42:04. | |
until the Premier League, money was less important, he said he was | :42:05. | :42:07. | |
prised out of watching Tottenham. Money has changed everything. Yes, | :42:08. | :42:14. | |
the financial success story of the Premier League has been amazing but | :42:15. | :42:18. | |
the reason the money is there is because we love it so much, people | :42:19. | :42:22. | |
wanted to watch the football on TV and it has improved things, the | :42:23. | :42:26. | |
stadiums and players are so much better. It has transformed in | :42:27. | :42:31. | |
financial terms, but if you remember going to football in the 80s, and | :42:32. | :42:37. | |
now, it is a much better experience. I had great times in the 80s but I | :42:38. | :42:41. | |
am much more comfortable taking my son now. We thought the bubble would | :42:42. | :42:52. | |
burst, but every different rights negotiation is an increase. Yes, | :42:53. | :43:00. | |
that is right. I was doing my research, and we were talking about | :43:01. | :43:06. | |
the division in 1992 that had a combined wage bill of ?100 million | :43:07. | :43:11. | |
and they said this was a bubble that would burst, the wages for Roy | :43:12. | :43:16. | |
Keane, for example, were ridiculous, they said, but now you have Paul | :43:17. | :43:22. | |
Pogba going for nearly ?100 million. It has grown 50% every year for 25 | :43:23. | :43:28. | |
years growth, incredible for any industry. Yes, staggering. From your | :43:29. | :43:36. | |
perspective, it is a global brand, are you surprised by that? It is | :43:37. | :43:41. | |
sometimes hard to believe the scale of it, and I know there was a survey | :43:42. | :43:46. | |
in 2015 that said it is the most recognised British icon of anything. | :43:47. | :43:51. | |
However, they were commissioned by the Premier League. That might skew | :43:52. | :43:58. | |
the result, but James Bond, the role family, Rolls-Royce, the Premier | :43:59. | :44:03. | |
League has outstripped all of these and you could say it is our greatest | :44:04. | :44:07. | |
cultural export, and given where it came from, the horrors of the 80s, | :44:08. | :44:13. | |
that is a incredible transformation. It is right for fans to feel a bit | :44:14. | :44:19. | |
disenfranchised, but it is a huge cultural phenomenon on, the Premier | :44:20. | :44:26. | |
League. Do we not worry enough about where the money comes from our | :44:27. | :44:30. | |
times? We have the fit and proper person test for those who own clubs, | :44:31. | :44:34. | |
but there is so much money in the game. Often you find it has come | :44:35. | :44:38. | |
from somewhere you are not sure about. There is more scrutiny of | :44:39. | :44:42. | |
people investing in football clubs than any other industry, the nature | :44:43. | :44:48. | |
of the beast, really. If you were trying to do something unusual or | :44:49. | :44:52. | |
criminal, going through football would be a very peculiar route | :44:53. | :44:56. | |
because you will get more scrutiny than any other industry. Football | :44:57. | :45:00. | |
raises the bar beyond what is needed by company law, they always say, can | :45:01. | :45:05. | |
you do more, but it is pretty high profile and heavily scrutinised. | :45:06. | :45:10. | |
Where most of the money comes from is the general public, around the | :45:11. | :45:14. | |
world, through TV rights and buying shirts and match tickets, and | :45:15. | :45:19. | |
sponsors, and it all comes back in the end to the supporters. Is there | :45:20. | :45:26. | |
some key thing that other sports could learn from this massive | :45:27. | :45:30. | |
success that it has been? I find it interesting, even with women's | :45:31. | :45:33. | |
football, they say, what can it do to be more like men's football, and | :45:34. | :45:36. | |
that is true of other sports, cricket and rugby have looked at it | :45:37. | :45:43. | |
to try and bottled the magic, but it is football, people want to watch | :45:44. | :45:47. | |
the best football in the world, may be the Premier League is not the | :45:48. | :45:50. | |
best, but it is the best presented and that is hugely important. We | :45:51. | :45:56. | |
have a clip here. Every got it? Sorry, we haven't. -- have we got | :45:57. | :45:59. | |
it. Neymar has gone outside of the UK | :46:00. | :46:10. | |
the 200 million. We saw ?90 million for Paul Pogba Manchester United | :46:11. | :46:16. | |
paid. Will that continue going up? You say it's gone up 15% every year. | :46:17. | :46:24. | |
It's inevitable we will see an -- a player go for ?100 million. It is in | :46:25. | :46:30. | |
proportion. I said about Roy Keane moving for ?3.75 million at the | :46:31. | :46:35. | |
beginning of the Premier League. That seemed like a crazy amount. If | :46:36. | :46:40. | |
you look at the way the game is ?100 million is proportionate. Roy | :46:41. | :46:48. | |
Keane's amount was 15% of Manchester United's revenue. Doesn't affect the | :46:49. | :46:54. | |
annoyance of fans. They see the amount of money changed hands and | :46:55. | :46:57. | |
they wonder how things like this happen to the game they love. But | :46:58. | :47:01. | |
they get equally annoyed when teams cannot keep the players they love. | :47:02. | :47:03. | |
Thanks. The 1840s were daring, | :47:04. | :47:05. | |
wild days of medical science, when doctors were just as likely | :47:06. | :47:08. | |
to kill their patients as cure them. It was a time when despite | :47:09. | :47:11. | |
the risks, huge strides were being made in medicine, | :47:12. | :47:13. | |
and its pioneering young scientists It's also the inspiration behind | :47:14. | :47:16. | |
the new BBC comedy, Quacks. We'll speak to one of the show's | :47:17. | :47:19. | |
stars, Mathew Bayton in just a minute, but first let's take | :47:20. | :47:22. | |
a look at tonight's programme. Caroline, if you're willing, | :47:23. | :47:29. | |
I'd like to try an unusual form A science which believes | :47:30. | :47:32. | |
the mind of an individual This model shows where the different | :47:33. | :47:49. | |
functions of the brain are located. By feeling the contours of someone's | :47:50. | :47:54. | |
head, one can detect where certain It is meant to be humorous and it | :47:55. | :47:57. | |
certainly is. Thank you for joining us. Tell us | :47:58. | :48:34. | |
about your character. He is called an alienist. This is before Freud, | :48:35. | :48:42. | |
before psychology, but he works in an asylum treating mental illness. | :48:43. | :48:49. | |
This is a time when you have just moved on, really, from treating that | :48:50. | :48:53. | |
as a session by the devil and so on. And he is really fighting a losing | :48:54. | :48:58. | |
battle. His revolutionary ideas, let's treat people with kindness, | :48:59. | :49:02. | |
and not beat them up and changed them to the wall, and it doesn't go | :49:03. | :49:06. | |
down very well with his superiors. -- chain them to the wall. These | :49:07. | :49:14. | |
guys, these people working in medicine, experimenting, were really | :49:15. | :49:19. | |
famous, were rock stars. They were doing incredible things. They had | :49:20. | :49:23. | |
people's lives in their hands. We call it an operating theatre still | :49:24. | :49:27. | |
because it was a theatre. You could pay. You could show up. You could | :49:28. | :49:34. | |
watch someone's leg being amputated. Talent was judged on how quickly you | :49:35. | :49:38. | |
could amputate a leg. Is that right? For a while? The surgeon Rory | :49:39. | :49:45. | |
Kinnear plays in the show, Robert, is very arrogant. But it is | :49:46. | :49:49. | |
understandable because he is a man who can either kill or save someone | :49:50. | :49:58. | |
by one centimetre to the left or right. You can understand why you | :49:59. | :50:02. | |
would get a God complex. The speed thing is interesting. They would | :50:03. | :50:05. | |
pride themselves on how quickly they could do it. But there is a | :50:06. | :50:09. | |
practical reason because there was no anaesthetic. So, if you are going | :50:10. | :50:13. | |
to have somebody saw off your leg you want it done as quickly as | :50:14. | :50:18. | |
possible. In the first scene of our first episode it goes disastrously | :50:19. | :50:22. | |
wrong. It's quite gruesome, to be honest, isn't it? Yes. That's | :50:23. | :50:30. | |
exactly right, the theatre, they have stands, people watching, people | :50:31. | :50:33. | |
cheering as live operations are going on. Yes, I think we grow up | :50:34. | :50:38. | |
probably just from books and so on with a sense of what it looks like | :50:39. | :50:46. | |
in our body underneath our skin. And it's, kind of, hard to imagine. This | :50:47. | :50:50. | |
was a time when you did not have that sense of the idea of your own | :50:51. | :50:54. | |
biology. So it would be fascinating to show off and see what is in | :50:55. | :51:00. | |
there. And I suppose it was less sanitised. Because these great | :51:01. | :51:03. | |
strides people were making in modern medicine has not been made. So | :51:04. | :51:09. | |
people were living in a time where mortality was higher, you couldn't | :51:10. | :51:12. | |
expect to survive things we expect to survive. People were probably | :51:13. | :51:18. | |
less squeamish about that stuff, but closer to death, I suppose. But it's | :51:19. | :51:26. | |
funny, it lends itself well to comedy, doesn't it? It really does. | :51:27. | :51:31. | |
It can sound gruesome but there is something funny about it... A lot of | :51:32. | :51:34. | |
comedy is based around failure, I think. That often means you are | :51:35. | :51:42. | |
betraying idiots and buffoons. The thing about these people is that | :51:43. | :51:48. | |
they are genuinely brilliant and pioneering. But they are ahead of | :51:49. | :51:52. | |
their time. So they are sort of doing certain stance to suffer the | :51:53. | :51:56. | |
same hilarious failures and idiot would. It's very good and I | :51:57. | :52:00. | |
particularly like the patient's joining in with the theatre. Anyway, | :52:01. | :52:06. | |
thank you very much. It's called Quacks and it begins tonight on 10pm | :52:07. | :52:13. | |
-- at 10pm on BBC Two. It will make you very grateful for | :52:14. | :52:15. | |
the NHS. A train that was partially derailed | :52:16. | :52:25. | |
at Waterloo station, a story we were talking about earlier, these are the | :52:26. | :52:28. | |
live pictures. There were passengers on the train | :52:29. | :52:33. | |
at the time. A London ambulance checked over three people but none | :52:34. | :52:35. | |
of them needed to go to hospital. South West trains -- at the South | :52:36. | :52:45. | |
train struck a freight train at low speed. Passengers have been advised | :52:46. | :52:51. | |
to avoid Waterloo for the rest of the day. There were already works | :52:52. | :52:55. | |
going on at the station already causing people disruption. | :52:56. | :53:01. | |
That train was due to leave Waterloo at 6:20am. Say you can imagine the | :53:02. | :53:06. | |
disruption. The advice is to avoid Waterloo and Vauxhall. You can see | :53:07. | :53:13. | |
the reason why. That is if you are wondering about the problems in some | :53:14. | :53:15. | |
parts of London. Exactly right. We have seen lots of | :53:16. | :53:20. | |
rainbows this morning but they've all gone now, Carol, good morning. | :53:21. | :53:26. | |
We might see some more today, but this is a picture of from one of our | :53:27. | :53:30. | |
weather watchers. You can see it was raining in Kent. But we will see | :53:31. | :53:38. | |
some sunshine and showers. Such a beautiful picture from Hertfordshire | :53:39. | :53:42. | |
here. The forecast for today is one of sunshine and showers. When we | :53:43. | :53:46. | |
lose the rain across parts of Kent and north-east Scotland. That should | :53:47. | :53:53. | |
happen in the near future across Kent. But for Scotland it will hang | :53:54. | :53:58. | |
on in the Northern Isles for a large chunk of the day, especially for | :53:59. | :54:02. | |
Shetland. Behind that rain, sunshine. Some of us already | :54:03. | :54:05. | |
enjoying sunshine. Showers will develop further and some will be | :54:06. | :54:09. | |
heavy and thundery. You could catch the old heavy shower in Northern | :54:10. | :54:14. | |
Ireland. There will be more frequent showers across Scotland. Some of | :54:15. | :54:18. | |
those heavy and thundery. What a lot of dry weather with sunshine in | :54:19. | :54:22. | |
between. Northern England seeing some showers this afternoon. But a | :54:23. | :54:26. | |
lot of dry weather. The showers could be heavy, though. Further | :54:27. | :54:33. | |
south, less likely to catch showers. We cannot rule them out but they | :54:34. | :54:36. | |
will be few and far between. And it'll feel warm in the sunshine, | :54:37. | :54:40. | |
particularly over East Anglia and Kent, where it could hit 26 today. | :54:41. | :54:45. | |
The south-west and Wales a similar story, there will be sunny spells, | :54:46. | :54:48. | |
looking at a lot of dry weather, with an outside chance of a shower. | :54:49. | :54:53. | |
Overnight, any remaining showers will die away. It'll be a cooler | :54:54. | :54:58. | |
night than the one just gone. By the end of the night the cloud will be | :54:59. | :55:01. | |
building, the wind strengthening, and we will see the arrival of some | :55:02. | :55:06. | |
rain into Northern Ireland first of all. That is courtesy of this area | :55:07. | :55:10. | |
of low pressure with its warm front. You can tell from the squeeze on the | :55:11. | :55:14. | |
isobars it'll be pretty windy, especially through the Irish Sea. | :55:15. | :55:20. | |
Gusts at gale force possibly. And in western areas, with exposure, along | :55:21. | :55:23. | |
the coast and hills, basically the same thing. The rain moves through | :55:24. | :55:28. | |
Northern Ireland, then Scotland, it gets in across parts of north-west | :55:29. | :55:31. | |
England, parts of West Wales, and the south-west. Under that | :55:32. | :55:36. | |
combination it will feel cool. The temperatures are not special anyway, | :55:37. | :55:42. | |
about the August average, but for the rest of the country a dry day, | :55:43. | :55:46. | |
with some sunshine, especially the further east you travel. Highs of | :55:47. | :55:55. | |
22, 20 three. -- or 23. The average temperatures for this time of year | :55:56. | :56:01. | |
are between 15 to 21 degrees. The rain moves across us Wednesday | :56:02. | :56:05. | |
night, claiming first thing on Thursday morning from the | :56:06. | :56:09. | |
south-east. Then across the UK, a cocktail of sunshine and showers. | :56:10. | :56:13. | |
Outside the showers in the sunshine it will feel pleasant with highs up | :56:14. | :56:18. | |
to 24. Friday sees a mixture of sunshine and showers. You will | :56:19. | :56:23. | |
notice it will be windy. We could have gusts at gale force across the | :56:24. | :56:28. | |
south-west. And in the central swathes of the UK, gusty winds, as | :56:29. | :56:31. | |
well. You do make it sound fun, Carol. | :56:32. | :56:36. | |
CHUCKLES I'd quite enjoy a gusty wind their | :56:37. | :56:40. | |
way Carol says it, but then you get caught up in one. | :56:41. | :56:41. | |
CHUCKLES Could you work with your parents, | :56:42. | :56:42. | |
siblings, son or daughter? If I'm honest probably not. | :56:43. | :56:52. | |
Lots of people do. Family businesses are really important to the economy. | :56:53. | :56:58. | |
They are because they contribute about half a trillion to our | :56:59. | :57:04. | |
economy. Many people employed in family businesses. We've been | :57:05. | :57:07. | |
looking at them this week, seeing what they contribute, and seeing the | :57:08. | :57:10. | |
pros and cons of them. Because it can be tough in a family business. I | :57:11. | :57:17. | |
went to meet Sally Creed and his son James Reid. | :57:18. | :57:21. | |
-- I went to meet the father and son team at the top | :57:22. | :57:24. | |
of Reed Recruitment - Sir Alec Reed and his son James | :57:25. | :57:27. | |
-to find out what it's like to take over a big business from your dad. | :57:28. | :57:31. | |
So how important was it for you to have someone | :57:32. | :57:33. | |
Well, if it is going to be a family business, someone in the family, | :57:34. | :57:38. | |
next generation, has to come into it. | :57:39. | :57:41. | |
I said, if you get the Sunday Times next week, you will see | :57:42. | :57:44. | |
And that sort of focused his mind, and he applied for it and got it. | :57:45. | :57:49. | |
Really, so you had to apply for the job? | :57:50. | :57:51. | |
I think there was an interview with Sir Alec Reed. | :57:52. | :57:54. | |
It was a joke in the family - a 30-year interview. | :57:55. | :57:57. | |
When he said, come and join me, I found that a bit daunting, | :57:58. | :58:04. | |
to be honest, because these are big shoes to fill. | :58:05. | :58:07. | |
And I didn't want to mess it up, as we have a good relationship. | :58:08. | :58:21. | |
He thought he would not get a pay rise, if he was joining it. | :58:22. | :58:28. | |
Negotiation is important, even in families. | :58:29. | :58:30. | |
Where does all your negotiation happen, then? | :58:31. | :58:31. | |
Does it happen at home, or in the office? | :58:32. | :58:33. | |
It's very hard to know where work ends and family begins | :58:34. | :58:36. | |
We're always talking about business and sometimes we have to zip it, | :58:37. | :58:41. | |
And we're both very interested in it, so we're both very happy | :58:42. | :58:46. | |
What do you think the key is to running a successful family | :58:47. | :58:49. | |
It is passion, it is ideas, it is energy. | :58:50. | :58:57. | |
So how important is it for you to keep the business | :58:58. | :59:10. | |
Well, succession in a family business is one of the hardest | :59:11. | :59:15. | |
things, and I think it's hard going from second | :59:16. | :59:17. | |
They say clogs to clogs in three generations. | :59:18. | :59:20. | |
It's got to be right for the individual, and it's got | :59:21. | :59:23. | |
The best family businesses are very true to their values, | :59:24. | :59:26. | |
and are consistent with their families, | :59:27. | :59:28. | |
We had a piece of research which said that 80% of people | :59:29. | :59:32. | |
would prefer to work with a family business, | :59:33. | :59:34. | |
and also prefer to do business as a customer. | :59:35. | :59:38. | |
If your chief executive is changing, the character can change, | :59:39. | :59:40. | |
and so can the character of the company. | :59:41. | :59:43. | |
What I would say is, and I think this is entirely | :59:44. | :59:53. | |
to my father's credit, when I joined the business, | :59:54. | :59:54. | |
he would ask me my opinion, and then he would make the decision. | :59:55. | :00:02. | |
And seamlessly, over a ten-year period, that would change. | :00:03. | :00:04. | |
I would ask his opinion, and I would make the decision. | :00:05. | :00:07. | |
And I don't know how that happened, quite. | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
Sometimes you make a decision without asking me. | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
But, you know, it is important to me that he is supportive, | :00:15. | :00:26. | |
But we have never worked in the same room, you know, | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
so we have given each other quite a bit of space. | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
He rang me up the other day and said, I don't know | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
It must be hard, letting go of a business, though, even though it is | :00:38. | :00:51. | |
your son taking over. We have had lots of pictures from people, they | :00:52. | :00:58. | |
are great. This is Mike with four generations working in their family | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
business which started in his mother's front room in 1979. | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
Elizabeth sent this picture of her and her daughter and they started | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
running a cafe together and she says she is already impressed with | :01:13. | :01:19. | |
Betty's business skills. This is a dance school in 1936, a family | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
business which is still going today. Susan says her son is a dance and | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
her daughter is training to be a dance teacher. What a cracking | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
photo. Very inspiring. I wonder if there is anyone at home saying, | :01:36. | :01:43. | |
that's me in that! Thank you for sending in your pictures and | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
tomorrow I will be talking about more the challenges of family | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
businesses. I will be at a nuts and bolts factory in Wolverhampton. No | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
better way to spend on Wednesday. I love it. Do send in more of those | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
pictures, they are lovely to see. Do you remember watching | :02:03. | :02:18. | |
Great Britain's women taking on the Dutch in the Olympics hockey | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
final in Rio last summer? A year on, more than 10,000 | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
people have picked up a stick and joined a club, | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
causing a big surge in participation, according | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
to England Hockey. We'll be meeting some | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
new players in a moment - but first let's remind ourselves | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
of that sensational, COMMENTATOR: We are ready for 60 | :02:34. | :02:42. | |
minutes of blood sweat and tears, one way or the other. Helen | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
Richardson-Walsh is waiting in the centre of the circle. This time it | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
is scored and Great Britain are in front. The Dutch are inside the | :02:56. | :03:06. | |
circle, the angle, that is a goal. That is a goal for the Netherlands, | :03:07. | :03:15. | |
2-1 in front. That is her second. They have scored, Great Britain and | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
level. Penalty shoot out Ash are level. | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
That is the golden goal, Great Britain have won the Olympic | :03:26. | :03:34. | |
gold-medal. STUDIO: Exhausting watching that. But wonderful. | :03:35. | :03:44. | |
Our reporter Lara Rostron is at Staines Hockey Club | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
in Middlesex for us this morning - meeting some new players. | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
Good morning. Almost 100 children here, they have been here since six | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
o'clock this morning, working really hard, how is it going, Ruby? Yes. | :03:56. | :04:03. | |
Enjoying yourself? Yes. I will leave you to get on. They are here because | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
of that magical moment when Team GB women's hockey won the gold medal at | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
the Rio Olympics, it was amazing, but without the supporters like this | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
on the sidelines. CHEERING Parents like those who support | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
children like these coming to clubs like this, quite frankly, we would | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
not end up with champions like these. Hello, girls. Kate and Helen, | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
you were the captain of that winning team. You were taking part as well. | :04:36. | :04:44. | |
Yes. How does it feel one year on? I can't believe it has nearly been a | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
year. The 19th of August we won the gold medal and that is when the | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
ballot open for everyone to get tickets for the home World Cup for | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
England next year which will be an amazing event, in London. 9 million | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
people watched the final, get them out watching it live, it will be | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
awesome. The legacy continues, how hard is it to train in hockey? They | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
have worked very hard this morning, these youngsters. It can be tough | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
but also fun, that is the best thing about hockey, it has something for | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
everybody, whether you want to be the best in the world, you can do | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
that, or whether you just want to have some fun, and everyone can get | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
involved. Sometimes you have three generations on one pitch and that is | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
such a nice thing. All the volunteers down here today, hockey | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
is a great thing to be a part of. It was a great atmosphere. I will catch | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
up with some of the players working very hard, what are you doing here? | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
We are doing simple five yard passes. Sounds technical. It is. You | :05:48. | :05:57. | |
have two Bend your knees. And hit the ball, I will leave you to it. | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
Well done. Good morning coach. How hard do they have to work? The good | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
thing about the sport, it encompasses everyone from complete | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
beginner to advanced player, and they could be male or female, so | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
what you tend to find in hockey, you get a family orientated environment | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
to play the sport and that is fantastic. If you look across the | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
pitch you can see that. Absolutely. It is fair to say that the future of | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
hockey is very safe at this hockey club. Thanks for joining us. Lovely | :06:32. | :06:39. | |
to see them all out there playing. So inspired by our fantastic women's | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
team. Boys and girls, as well, and I remember speaking to the gold | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
medallists the night after they had won and that is what they wanted, | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
generations of girls and boys to play hockey. And make sure they are | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
playing a year on, and they are. And now we have a last brief | :06:59. | :08:35. | |
Plenty more on our website at the usual address. | :08:36. | :08:45. | |
It's one of the toughest endurance challenges in the world. | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
The Clipper Round the World Yacht Race takes up | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
to a year to complete - and this year it's making history, | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
Nikki Henderson, one of this year's professional skippers, | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
will be the youngest in the event's history - at just 24 years old. | :08:59. | :09:06. | |
What a great achievement, how many people will be on the boat with you? | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
My team is made up of 60 people from all over the world. At any one time | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
there is up to 22 on board with me. Quite a few people. You are going a | :09:18. | :09:25. | |
long way, 40,000 nautical miles? That is correct, I won't forget it. | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
At this point, what are your priorities? Right now, bringing the | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
team together, making sure everyone feels good about leaving. We have a | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
good to prep the boat before we leave on Sunday in Liverpool, make | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
sure it is sorted and get in the right mindset. When you leave | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
Liverpool, for quite a few of you, that is it for a year, you are off. | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
What is the route you are following? The first leg is Liverpool to South | :10:00. | :10:06. | |
America and then we head east, Cape Town, Australia, up to China, we go | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
to Seattle, my home port, then to New York and then to Liverpool. | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
Watching some of the pictures, seriously scary. Especially for | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
anyone who doesn't understand the sport. Safety is your number one | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
priority? Absolutely, we go through four weeks of training before and it | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
is of paramount importance. When you are out there, that is Dean on one | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
concern, and then after that it is good sailing and good seamanship -- | :10:39. | :10:48. | |
that is the number one concern. Someone was washed overboard a few | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
years ago? Yes, extreme sports, sometimes these things happen, and | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
even more safety measures have been put in place every single year. You | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
learn from previous incidents. I don't feel worried about it and the | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
crew have been trained well. Give us an idea of conditions on board. It | :11:09. | :11:16. | |
is cosy. You have ten people sleeping and ten people sailing at | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
the same time. You work in a watch rotation, normal life, cooking and | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
cleaning and people forget that bit, it is not just sailing, it is | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
learning to live with each other and that is part of the adventure, | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
getting to know people on board, all these people from different walks of | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
life, we have a nanny, a teacher, directors, lawyers, it is an | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
adventure of people as well as sailing. You must have very | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
understanding partners, as well. You will be away for long time. It is a | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
big family event, actually, everyone buys into it, we have great | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
supporters and they are excited for the start and I think it will be a | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
massive event. All of my loved ones will be there and it will be | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
emotional. You started sailing when you were 11? How did you get from | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
there to being the skipper of this very sophisticated yacht? Probably | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
believing that if I wanted to do it I could do it. That has always been | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
instilled in me as I have grown up, aim high and if you work hard, you | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
will get there, so I've been putting myself out there since I was young. | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
Not afraid to take risks. If you have downtime, are you taking a | :12:35. | :12:42. | |
book? In all that time you must have a moment when you will switch. -- | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
switch off. Yes, I love a good book, may be planning the next trip. What | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
is your favourite kind of weather when you are sailing? I love big | :12:54. | :13:00. | |
winds and high seas, getting the boat going fast, that is when people | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
are really pushed and that is when you see the best in people, I think. | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
You will come back and tell us all about it when you are done? | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
Absolutely. I have total admiration for you. Good luck. | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
We'll be back tomorrow morning from 6am with two | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
of the Celebrity Masterchef contestants. | :13:23. | :13:24. |
