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.

after heavy floods and mudslides hit the capital of Sierra Leone.

:00:46.:00:52.

The singer, Taylor Swift, wins a court case against the DJ

:00:53.:00:55.

who groped her, and is awarded a symbolic $1 in damages.

:00:56.:01:02.

Could you run a business with your mum or dad?

:01:03.:01:06.

This week, I'm talking to companies who keep it in the family,

:01:07.:01:09.

finding out how they tick, and what it's like to work

:01:10.:01:12.

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.

for their first game in the Champions League

:01:20.:01:21.

I have been down to this gym every day for the last 20 years and have

:01:22.:01:34.

never had a day off. I am full of fitness.

:01:35.:01:36.

Scientists say the idea's a myth, and being overweight can

:01:37.:01:38.

increase your risk of a heart attack by around a quarter.

:01:39.:01:41.

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,

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

:10:56.: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

distance from where I am, the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, addressed

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

morning's main news. The Government is to outline plans

to negotiate a temporary customs relationship with the EU,

immediately after Brexit. Ministers want to ensure

that an arrangement, similar to the current customs

union, will remain in place until a final trade

Rail passengers will learn this morning how much more they'll be

paying for some of their journeys from January next year.

:35:09.:35:10.

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

increases your risk of coronary heart disease by up to 28%,

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.

A contest has been held in China that takes the phrase 'hot tub'

:37:21.:37:27.

This chilli eating competition sees contestants forced

to eat as many chillies as they can while sitting in a bath

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

:38:45.: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

for the first time in three seasons when they travel to German side

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

all of the injury troubles he has had. England are stepping into the

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.

:04:12.:04:14.

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

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

trapped awaiting supplies of food and clean water.

Rail passengers will learn this morning how much more they'll be

paying for some of their journeys from January next year.

Regulated fares, which account for nearly half

:11:14.:11:15.

of all tickets, will go up by last month's rate of inflation,

as measured by the Retail Price Index.

:11:19.:11:21.

The exact figure will be published this morning.

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.

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.

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.

In sport, Liverpool begin their quest to qualify for this

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

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

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

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

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

cause of the incident is underway. Rail passengers will learn this

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.

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

the moment. Jurgen Klopp says he's got nothing

: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.
