:00:00. > :00:00.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Tina Daheley.

:00:07. > :00:09.The long wait is over for hundreds of thousands of teenagers

:00:10. > :00:14.across England, Wales and Northern Ireland

:00:15. > :00:16.who get their A-Level results this morning.

:00:17. > :00:18.For the first time students in England have been sitting

:00:19. > :00:21.a new style of exams, putting more emphasis

:00:22. > :00:24.There's been a drop in university applications meaning more

:00:25. > :00:47.We'll be live in one clearing centre.

:00:48. > :00:55.Also this morning, "suffering in silence," a warning that older

:00:56. > :00:57.people aren't reporting problems with their NHS care.

:00:58. > :01:08.How quickly do you expect to get your online groceries?

:01:09. > :01:15.And the BBC understands that EU nationals will still need permission

:01:16. > :01:17.to settle here after Brexit. Good morning. How quickly do you expect

:01:18. > :01:19.to get your online groceries? about a new click and collect

:01:20. > :01:24.service in half an hour. The Scottish champions almost

:01:25. > :01:27.guarantee their place in the champions league group

:01:28. > :01:37.stages, thanks to a 5-0 home Good morning. Currently we have rain

:01:38. > :01:42.pushing off in the direction of the North Sea. As that clears we are

:01:43. > :01:44.into sunshine and showers, but parts of southern Scotland and northern

:01:45. > :01:46.England will miss those showers altogether. I will have the details

:01:47. > :01:48.in 15 minutes. Students across England,

:01:49. > :01:51.Wales and Northern Ireland will receive their A level results

:01:52. > :01:54.today, determining their admission In England, it's the first year that

:01:55. > :01:58.students will get results after major reforms to A-levels,

:01:59. > :02:00.including a move away from coursework, modular exams

:02:01. > :02:03.and separate AS-levels. Here's our education correspondent,

:02:04. > :02:13.Gillian Hargreaves. Three months ago they were busy

:02:14. > :02:17.showing what they had learnt. Now the students at this college in east

:02:18. > :02:22.London are about to find out if the hard work paid off. In England

:02:23. > :02:26.recently is to A-levels mean these are the first students to sit one

:02:27. > :02:30.exam at the end of two years on study. Less emphasis on coursework,

:02:31. > :02:36.and AS-levels no longer count towards the final grading 13

:02:37. > :02:40.subjects. The new type of A-levels are unsettling for some students. I

:02:41. > :02:44.think the new system wants us to memorise stuff rather than learn.

:02:45. > :02:49.They are just trying to make it harder for us and it is going to get

:02:50. > :02:54.harder each year. We just have to accept it. We are like the guinea

:02:55. > :02:58.pigs. We have no past papers, so we have no practice. Even our teachers,

:02:59. > :03:01.there are so many new things in the syllabus that the teachers are

:03:02. > :03:05.struggling to teach it as well. But the change of direction has been

:03:06. > :03:08.welcomed by some heads. The new system is good. It prepares students

:03:09. > :03:13.well for university and for employment. The key challenges for

:03:14. > :03:18.awarding bodies to make sure that they are marking with a consistently

:03:19. > :03:23.high standard, so the students get the results they deserve. There has

:03:24. > :03:27.been a drop in the number of students applying to university this

:03:28. > :03:28.year, so it is expected there may be more places available to young

:03:29. > :03:30.people who want to shop around. In around 15 minutes, we'll be

:03:31. > :03:33.at Birmingham City University, as they begin to hear from students

:03:34. > :03:36.who are accepting or looking Far too many older people

:03:37. > :03:42.are suffering in silence when things go wrong with their NHS care,

:03:43. > :03:45.according to the Parliamentary It says it's often their relatives

:03:46. > :03:49.who have to step in to complain, but even when they do,

:03:50. > :04:05.many don't believe it Afraid to raise the alarm. There are

:04:06. > :04:09.far fewer complaints from all the people then expect it, given their

:04:10. > :04:15.high usage of the NHS, according to the ombudsman. -- expected. Elderly

:04:16. > :04:18.people are reluctant to complain because they think it is difficult,

:04:19. > :04:24.because they feel that their care may be compromised, and because they

:04:25. > :04:31.don't think that it will make a difference to their situation. So

:04:32. > :04:36.these are unfortunate circumstances. Often their families have to

:04:37. > :04:48.intervene. The ombudsman and the social networking sites Gransnet

:04:49. > :04:53.survey their uses. 58% complains, but 67% of them did not believe it

:04:54. > :04:58.made a difference. -- complained of. The ombudsman says the NHS must make

:04:59. > :05:02.it clear how to complain, and those who do must be convinced that future

:05:03. > :05:05.care will not suffer. In response the department of Health said that

:05:06. > :05:08.when things go wrong it is incredibly important to listen to

:05:09. > :05:10.the concerns of patients and their families. By learning from mistakes,

:05:11. > :05:12.you can improve treatment. Thousands of low-paid workers

:05:13. > :05:14.are to receive more than ?2 million in back pay as a result of tax

:05:15. > :05:18.investigations by the government. Around 230 employers were found

:05:19. > :05:20.to have paid workers less Among the worst offenders

:05:21. > :05:23.was the retailer Argos, The South Korean president has said

:05:24. > :05:34.he doesn't think the United States intends to use military force

:05:35. > :05:37.against North Korea, and if they do they must

:05:38. > :05:41.get Seoul's "consent." Marking his first 100 days

:05:42. > :05:43.in office, President Moon Jae-in said he could "guarantee"

:05:44. > :05:46.there wouldn't be another war on the Korean peninsula but said

:05:47. > :05:48.the leadership in Pyongyang Britain will look to keep visa-free

:05:49. > :05:56.travel to the UK for European visitors after Brexit,

:05:57. > :05:57.the BBC understands. The proposals could mean visitors

:05:58. > :06:00.from countries within the EU would only need to seek permission

:06:01. > :06:03.if they wanted to work, Our political correspondent,

:06:04. > :06:08.Eleanor Garnier, joins us now. Eleanor, what do we know

:06:09. > :06:23.about the government's plans? Well, they are due to be published

:06:24. > :06:27.in autumn. We understand that the idea of Visa free travel is on the

:06:28. > :06:31.table, and as you said, that would mean that if you are visiting from

:06:32. > :06:35.the EU and you are just on a holiday or here for a short amount of time,

:06:36. > :06:39.you wouldn't need a Visa. But if you wanted to come here on study or work

:06:40. > :06:43.or stay here long-term, you would need to apply and get permission.

:06:44. > :06:47.The idea being that an employer, for example, couldn't just take somebody

:06:48. > :06:52.on who was visiting here for a short time. It does, though, seem to leave

:06:53. > :06:55.open the possibility, and of course we are waiting for all the details

:06:56. > :06:59.on this, that people from the EU could come here looking for work

:07:00. > :07:02.without having first applied for a working visa. And there are

:07:03. > :07:08.questions on how this will be in forced and how much the onus will be

:07:09. > :07:11.on employers. -- enforced. The government's argument when it comes

:07:12. > :07:16.to controlling immigration is that you don't need physical borders to

:07:17. > :07:18.do that. Through work permits, and limiting them, and also through the

:07:19. > :07:23.meeting benefits, you can control the number of people coming here.

:07:24. > :07:26.All of this will need to be signed off by ministers. They will need to

:07:27. > :07:30.be convinced by the plans, as will all those people who voted Leave

:07:31. > :07:33.during the referendum, because they wanted to cut immigration.

:07:34. > :07:36.A week of national mourning has been called in Sierra Leone,

:07:37. > :07:39.in the wake of the flooding and mudslides that claimed hundreds

:07:40. > :07:43.Officials say more than 100 children are among the 400 people

:07:44. > :07:47.who are known to have died when part of a mountain collapsed

:07:48. > :07:49.At least 600 people are still missing.

:07:50. > :07:53.And at 6:40 we'll be hearing from a charity about how residents

:07:54. > :07:59.President Trump says he is shutting down two business councils

:08:00. > :08:02.after a raft of resignations by the leaders of some

:08:03. > :08:05.Around a dozen company heads quit their roles

:08:06. > :08:08.following the Mr Tump's decision to blame left-wing protesters

:08:09. > :08:11.as much as right-wing supremacists for the violence which erupted

:08:12. > :08:27.At the top of our agenda is the creation of great high-paying

:08:28. > :08:30.jobs... Set up to help the President deliver on his promise to help make

:08:31. > :08:34.America great again, the business advisory councils brought together

:08:35. > :08:40.the heads of some of the biggest companies in the US. Who would have

:08:41. > :08:44.thought, then, that the racial clashes in Charlottesville on

:08:45. > :08:48.Saturday, in which one person died, would have proved there on doing?

:08:49. > :08:52.The President's response to this violence shocked members of his own

:08:53. > :08:58.party and unnerved many of corporate executives. Once the country's most

:08:59. > :09:01.prominent African-American businessmen, pharmaceutical CEO can

:09:02. > :09:07.phrase you, announced that he was leaving, others swiftly followed. --

:09:08. > :09:10.Ken Frazier. We believe the symbolism of being associated with

:09:11. > :09:16.that spirited defence of racism and bigotry was just unacceptable. As a

:09:17. > :09:19.trickle of resignations turned into a flood, a close ally of the

:09:20. > :09:25.president, Blackstone CEO Steve Schwartzman, rang to tell him that

:09:26. > :09:26.members were threatening to quit en masse, at which point the president

:09:27. > :09:42.took to Twitter to pull the plug. A large crowd took to the streets of

:09:43. > :09:49.Charlottesville once again last night. A peaceful protest this time

:09:50. > :09:53.in memory of the 32-year-old woman, Heather Hayer, who died in

:09:54. > :09:56.Saturday's clashes. But with racial tensions simmering once more in the

:09:57. > :09:59.United States, few believe the debate will end here.

:10:00. > :10:02.Most of the historic World War II aircraft that make up the Battle

:10:03. > :10:05.of Britain Memorial Flight have been grounded because of engine issues.

:10:06. > :10:07.The Hurricanes, Spitfires and a Lancaster bomber

:10:08. > :10:10.are all affected, and one display has already been cancelled,

:10:11. > :10:14.The RAF is unable to say when the planes will be back

:10:15. > :10:20.The aircraft are more than 70 years old.

:10:21. > :10:23.Tom Cruise has broken his ankle whilst trying to undertake a daring

:10:24. > :10:25.stunt during filming in London at the weekend.

:10:26. > :10:28.Cruise attempted to leap between the roofs of two buildings,

:10:29. > :10:31.but he fell short of the mark and hit the building.

:10:32. > :10:33.Filming for the latest installment of Mission Impossible has

:10:34. > :10:49.Ouch. Yeah, awful when that happens, when you are leaping between

:10:50. > :10:54.buildings. Happens to me all the time. Who needs the bus, you know?

:10:55. > :11:00.Isn't that what you have a stuntman for? Apparently he does his own

:11:01. > :11:05.stunts. A brave man. What do you have for us? Celtic. The football

:11:06. > :11:08.season doesn't seem that all but we are already talking European

:11:09. > :11:11.football, with championship qualifying under way. Celtic have a

:11:12. > :11:15.foot in the group stages already. An impressive win. It looks like they

:11:16. > :11:19.will qualify, and I think this will be a real test for them this season.

:11:20. > :11:23.Domestic leave our season they were undefeated. They wrapped up the

:11:24. > :11:28.league in superquick time with matches to spare. Seeing how they

:11:29. > :11:32.fare in Europe will be a big test for Brendan Rodgers. At the got the

:11:33. > :11:34.job done last night. -- but they got the job done.

:11:35. > :11:37.What a night it was at Celtic Park, as the Scottish champions

:11:38. > :11:40.thrashed their opponents Astana of Kazakhstan 5-0 in the first leg

:11:41. > :11:43.The hosts were in control throughout in Glasgow,

:11:44. > :11:46.as two Scott Sinclair goals helped them to a comfortable victory

:11:47. > :11:49.and almost certainly put them in the lucrative group stages

:11:50. > :11:53.Edgbaston is the scene for the historic first day-night

:11:54. > :11:55.test as England's cricketers face the West Indies.

:11:56. > :11:57.In a move designed to attract more fans to the game,

:11:58. > :12:01.the match will start at a later time of 2:00 and will be played

:12:02. > :12:09.with a pink ball which shows up better under the floodlights.

:12:10. > :12:11.England and Ireland can reach the semi-finals

:12:12. > :12:13.of the Women's Rugby World Cup later.

:12:14. > :12:15.England take on USA, knowing victory would mean

:12:16. > :12:18.they automatically qualify for the last four while Ireland must

:12:19. > :12:22.And Serena Williams revealed in a magazine article she plans

:12:23. > :12:25.to play tennis again within three months of giving birth

:12:26. > :12:28.The 23-time grand slam champion called it "the most outrageous

:12:29. > :12:41.She went on to say, "Either I win, or I don't play."

:12:42. > :12:47.She won the Australian Open when she was two months pregnant, so if

:12:48. > :12:52.anybody can do this it would be Serena Williams. See you in a bit.

:12:53. > :12:58.Thank you. You are watching Breakfast from BBC News. The main

:12:59. > :13:01.stories: hundreds of thousands of students in England, Wales and

:13:02. > :13:04.Northern Ireland will get there a level results this morning. A

:13:05. > :13:08.warning that too many elderly patients are suffering in silence

:13:09. > :13:14.when things go wrong with their NHS care. Let's find out what is

:13:15. > :13:17.happening with the weather. Good morning.

:13:18. > :13:25.Good morning. After we lose the rain it doesn't look too bad today. We

:13:26. > :13:29.have heavy rain crossing towards the North Sea. Behind that we have

:13:30. > :13:34.sunshine and showers. Not all of us will catch the showers. Heavy rain

:13:35. > :13:38.through the course of the night, moving from the west towards the

:13:39. > :13:42.east. Quite a bit of that is still with us. Through the morning most of

:13:43. > :13:47.that will tend to push off into the North Sea. The further west you are,

:13:48. > :13:52.the brighter the start of the day is likely to be. A rather cold start

:13:53. > :13:58.already. -- not a cold start already. North in Scotland and

:13:59. > :14:03.Northern Ireland, patchy mist and fog. That will clear in the next

:14:04. > :14:07.couple of hours, leaving a fair bit of sunshine around. The does not

:14:08. > :14:11.necessarily mean it will stay dry. You can see the rain continues to

:14:12. > :14:16.move off into the North Sea. There will be cloud left behind. A breezy

:14:17. > :14:19.day as well. The sun will come out and then we will see showers

:14:20. > :14:23.developing. Not all of us will catch a shower. This line is coming up

:14:24. > :14:27.through Dorset, Somerset and the Home Counties, and that could be

:14:28. > :14:30.happy. But we might well miss them all together in northern England,

:14:31. > :14:35.southern and eastern parts of Scotland. In the sunshine it will

:14:36. > :14:39.feel pleasant. We heard John talking about the cricket at Edgbaston. It

:14:40. > :14:44.should stay dry. You will be lucky -- unlucky to catch a shower,

:14:45. > :14:47.although we cannot rule them out. Through the evening and overnight,

:14:48. > :14:53.we lose some of these showers, but more come in from the west. Another

:14:54. > :14:57.breezy night. Temperatures staying in double figures, those are

:14:58. > :15:01.overnight lows, of course. These are indicative of what you can expect in

:15:02. > :15:06.towns and cities. That takes us into tomorrow, a blustery day with gusty

:15:07. > :15:09.winds. Also some showers. A line of rain coming in across Northern

:15:10. > :15:12.Ireland, crossing the Irish Sea and getting into northern England in

:15:13. > :15:17.south-west Scotland. Elsewhere, we have that mix of sunshine and

:15:18. > :15:22.showers, except in the north-east, where we have rain. Temperatures up

:15:23. > :15:28.to 21 Celsius. A bit cooler than we are expecting today. Today we might

:15:29. > :15:33.hit 25. On the weekend it will still be quite breezy. Saturday's not

:15:34. > :15:36.looking too bad. Lots of dry weather around, a fair bit of sunshine.

:15:37. > :15:43.Sunny spells and temperatures between 15 and 21. Lots of festivals

:15:44. > :15:47.are taking place this weekend. The further south you are, the dry is

:15:48. > :15:52.likely to be. Sunday, a bit of a change. Quite a bit of dry weather

:15:53. > :15:56.around but it looks like we are going to see some rain coming in

:15:57. > :16:00.across Northern Ireland. That is going to be pushing north-east as we

:16:01. > :16:04.go through the latter part of the day. Again, the further east you

:16:05. > :16:10.are, the dry it is likely to remain. -- dry out.

:16:11. > :16:17.A quick look at some of the pages, and were start with the front of the

:16:18. > :16:21.Daily Mail, and an interesting story, a lot from yesterday, Sarah

:16:22. > :16:26.Champion resign from the shadow cabinet because of comments in

:16:27. > :16:35.connection with the Pakistani men and grooming gangs. Front page of

:16:36. > :16:41.the Sun, the great British back-off, this is about scheduling. Channel 4

:16:42. > :16:49.has pitted The Great British Bake Off against the BBC's show, the BBC

:16:50. > :16:53.is moving Nadia's show to Thursday, which is good if you are a fan of

:16:54. > :16:57.cooking programmes. There was a moment when the shows were going to

:16:58. > :17:05.be on simultaneously, which was not in the interest of the audiences.

:17:06. > :17:09.Yeah. The front of the Times, also about Sarah Champion, and EU

:17:10. > :17:15.migrants can come to live in Britain after Brexit, which we will talk

:17:16. > :17:17.about with our political correspondent, suggesting

:17:18. > :17:22.arrangements will be in place suggesting EU citizens can travel

:17:23. > :17:26.through the UK, restrictions will be related to work, and we will have

:17:27. > :17:31.that through the programme. The front of the Daily Mirror, the Alton

:17:32. > :17:35.Towers crash victim, near Washington, on holiday with other

:17:36. > :17:41.half - you can see her with her prosthetic leg, and she says she

:17:42. > :17:44.doing this because of pictures portraying unrealistic body images.

:17:45. > :17:49.The interview and more pictures inside. In the Sun today, there is

:17:50. > :17:54.an interesting story about car loans. They have been going up

:17:55. > :18:03.dramatically. More people taking out loans to get new cars. The latest

:18:04. > :18:08.stats show a little drop. It looked like a bubble that was going to

:18:09. > :18:12.burst, so it looks like fewer people have taken out car loans. They say

:18:13. > :18:17.it has been a real driver behind sale. More and more cars mean more

:18:18. > :18:20.people can access them with cheap credit available, when you don't

:18:21. > :18:28.have to pay the loan back for a while. And a nice story about

:18:29. > :18:34.barbecues, ?428 million of barbecue feud ending up in the bin. Chiefly

:18:35. > :18:38.because people are not excellent at cooking, maybe they cremate it

:18:39. > :18:43.rather than cook it. I quite like it like that. Invite us around! It is

:18:44. > :18:50.better to be overcooked rather than undercooked. That is true. Sport

:18:51. > :18:55.wise, there is a certain bout between Floyd Mayweather and Conor

:18:56. > :19:03.Margreitter. Mayweather, 49 fights, undefeated, against McGreggor. Just

:19:04. > :19:07.to show how lucrative this will be, Floyd Mayweather is expected to make

:19:08. > :19:17.$15 million from the advertising on his shorts. I know that macro --

:19:18. > :19:23.boxers don't wear a lot of them. On top of the $100 million they are

:19:24. > :19:27.each getting. He will get $240 million in total. Sponsorship on his

:19:28. > :19:34.shoes and socks. His shorts alone will make $25 million. All the

:19:35. > :19:39.people say that the fight is an absolute nonsense as a sporting

:19:40. > :19:43.event. They say that it is not a sporting event, it is more of an

:19:44. > :19:49.event, if you like, it is entertainment. There is going to be

:19:50. > :19:53.integrity in it. Surely it makes it a sporting event. It depends if

:19:54. > :20:02.Mayweather tries to eat out the fight, then you look at the

:20:03. > :20:06.integrity... When is it? August, and it is in the States.

:20:07. > :20:09.It's a day most of us never forget, exam results day.

:20:10. > :20:12.Today, the class of 2017 find out if they've studied hard enough

:20:13. > :20:14.to get a university place after their A-level results.

:20:15. > :20:17.This year, universities are under pressure to widen participation,

:20:21. > :20:23.Our reporter Lara Rostron is at Birmingham City University

:20:24. > :20:37.And are you in the area where the query will be happening? We can see

:20:38. > :20:43.them at their computers and phones. Clearing is happening as we speak.

:20:44. > :20:48.This is the nerve centre of Birmingham City University.

:20:49. > :20:51.Congratulations to everyone opening results this morning and

:20:52. > :20:54.commiseration to those who did not get the grades they expected. This

:20:55. > :20:59.is Birmingham City University, one of the most diverse in the country.

:21:00. > :21:04.Something like 48% of students come here from a BME background.

:21:05. > :21:07.Elsewhere in the rest of the country at UK universities, black teenagers

:21:08. > :21:18.in particular are underrepresented. Keran dreams of going to Cambridge.

:21:19. > :21:24.He is mixed race, he has been in care most of his life and went to an

:21:25. > :21:26.inner-city comprehensive. But it is a university where traditionally

:21:27. > :21:32.minority groups have been underrepresented. I really want to

:21:33. > :21:36.have this opportunity to study at Cambridge, at a top university and

:21:37. > :21:43.get a feel for that as an experience in my life. A lot of people who come

:21:44. > :21:47.here have top of the range tutors, have been going to private schools

:21:48. > :21:51.where they pretty much have separate sort of lessons where they just

:21:52. > :21:57.teach you how to get through the interview process. In London

:21:58. > :22:01.comprehensive schools, that just isn't really available. Cambridge

:22:02. > :22:05.says one in five of its students is now from a black or minority ethnic

:22:06. > :22:11.background, which roughly reflects the wider population. But this week

:22:12. > :22:15.researchers at Bath University say many BME students still feel

:22:16. > :22:19.uncomfortable applying to older institutions and are likely to be

:22:20. > :22:25.concentrated in new universities in London or big cities. Ciaran's shown

:22:26. > :22:29.around by Peter, who posed for this photograph along with all the other

:22:30. > :22:33.black men at Cambridge in his year. They hoped it would encourage more

:22:34. > :22:38.people like them to apply. On a social level and maybe on a cultural

:22:39. > :22:43.level someone like myself - you are in a totally different place.

:22:44. > :22:49.Meaning there are not as many people who are like you. Within Cambridge,

:22:50. > :22:53.rather than perhaps those that are like you at home. If you don't feel

:22:54. > :22:57.that the people you go to the university, then you won't. It is

:22:58. > :23:01.all about visibility. The number of black students at the top four

:23:02. > :23:07.universities in the country has increased 100% in the last ten

:23:08. > :23:10.years, from 3% to 6%, those universities formed the Russell

:23:11. > :23:15.group, which is investing millions of pounds to improve access, but

:23:16. > :23:19.more needs to be done. There is some evidence of unconscious bias going

:23:20. > :23:23.on and if they apply they don't get excerpted in such numbers. People

:23:24. > :23:27.are making incremental changes. The problem is quite a large one.

:23:28. > :23:32.Therefore we need to make a much more significant change. I don't

:23:33. > :23:35.want to hear lipservice, I want to see action. Universities working

:23:36. > :23:39.closely with schools is one way to improve access and another is using

:23:40. > :23:46.mentors who have been through the system already. I think for minority

:23:47. > :23:50.students, sometimes they get caught up in expectations of teachers in

:23:51. > :23:54.terms of courses that they might not necessarily want to do but that is

:23:55. > :24:02.all they know about. For Ciaran, if he gets one A and two a stars, he is

:24:03. > :24:05.into Cambridge. No longer dreaming of Cambridge student life but

:24:06. > :24:08.leaving it in one of the most prestigious universities.

:24:09. > :24:15.-- living. And of course I will let you know what Ciaran got. Take a

:24:16. > :24:19.look at this who is answering the phones, the one and only Lenny

:24:20. > :24:23.Henry, the Chancellor at Birmingham City University. I am the

:24:24. > :24:27.Chancellor! We will catch you later. Let's talk to the head of

:24:28. > :24:34.admissions. Julie Mason, it is good to see you. How are you doing so

:24:35. > :24:38.well at attracting BME students to this university? We value the

:24:39. > :24:44.wonderful diversity of the city and outreach work is with 13,000

:24:45. > :24:50.schoolchildren every year through our local 100 schools and colleges

:24:51. > :24:54.that we work with, so we naturally work with institutions with a

:24:55. > :24:58.widening participation agenda. Brilliant, well, you're certainly

:24:59. > :25:02.doing very well. We are in the call centre today and obviously people

:25:03. > :25:08.are already taking calls even though it is only 6:30am in the morning, it

:25:09. > :25:12.is so busy. It has slightly changed, though, hasn't it? It has, in that

:25:13. > :25:19.we are taking calls from applicants who maybe have not been through thus

:25:20. > :25:22.far and are now looking at coming into higher education. They have

:25:23. > :25:25.their exam results and maybe did better than expected and we are here

:25:26. > :25:30.to talk to them about the opportunities available to them. It

:25:31. > :25:33.might even be BME students who traditionally would not have

:25:34. > :25:38.considered university, then they get amazing results and give you a call.

:25:39. > :25:44.Absolutely. We would welcome them giving us a call. We are a 50% BME

:25:45. > :25:48.student body and we understand the barriers to higher education. If

:25:49. > :25:53.you're from a low income family, or if you have no experience of family

:25:54. > :25:57.members going into higher education. And we want to talk to you.

:25:58. > :26:01.Absolutely, and it is a buyers' market as well. It is, more

:26:02. > :26:06.institutions and courses in clearing, so plenty of choice.

:26:07. > :26:11.Please, give us a call. It is time to hand it back to you now, but we

:26:12. > :26:18.will be back here talking to the one and only Lenny Henry. Lovely, thank

:26:19. > :26:21.you very much. And the reason is he is Chancellor of Birmingham City

:26:22. > :26:24.University, and now very much one of the people who encourages youngsters

:26:25. > :26:28.to go into the system, because he didn't when he was younger and

:26:29. > :26:34.finally he got a degree at 48. In his 40s, yeah. And a nervous wait in

:26:35. > :26:37.lots of households this morning. Absolutely. Good luck if you are

:26:38. > :26:38.waking up to your A-level results. Still to come this morning:

:30:08. > :30:09.uncertainty with rain in the north, there is sunshine around as well.

:30:20. > :30:22.We'll have the latest news and sport in just a moment.

:30:23. > :30:25.Coming up on Breakfast today, click and collect your groceries

:30:56. > :30:59.But now, a summary of this morning's main news.

:31:00. > :31:01.Students across England, Wales and Northern Ireland

:31:02. > :31:03.will receive their A level results today.

:31:04. > :31:06.In England, it's the first year that students will get results

:31:07. > :31:08.after major reforms to A-levels, including a move away

:31:09. > :31:11.from coursework, modular exams and separate AS-levels.

:31:12. > :31:17.Here's our education correspondent, Gillian Hargreaves.

:31:18. > :31:20.Three months ago they were busy showing what they had learnt.

:31:21. > :31:23.Now the students at this college in East London are about to find out

:31:24. > :31:28.In England recent changes to A-levels mean these are the first

:31:29. > :31:32.students to sit one exam at the end of two years on study.

:31:33. > :31:35.Less emphasis on coursework, and AS-levels no longer count

:31:36. > :31:37.towards the final grading of 13 subjects.

:31:38. > :31:40.The new type of A-levels are unsettling for some students.

:31:41. > :31:47.I think the new system wants us to memorise stuff rather than learn.

:31:48. > :31:52.They are just trying to make it harder for us and it is going to get

:31:53. > :32:02.We have no past papers, so we have no practice.

:32:03. > :32:06.Even our teachers, there are so many new things in the syllabus

:32:07. > :32:09.that our teachers are struggling to teach it as well.

:32:10. > :32:12.But the change of direction has been welcomed by some heads.

:32:13. > :32:16.I think it prepares students well for university and for employment.

:32:17. > :32:19.The key challeng is for awarding bodies to make sure that they're

:32:20. > :32:22.marking to a consistently high standard, so the students get

:32:23. > :32:28.There has been a drop in the number of students applying to university

:32:29. > :32:31.this year, so it is expected there may be more places available

:32:32. > :32:42.to young people who want to shop around.

:32:43. > :32:45.Far too many older people are suffering in silence when things

:32:46. > :32:48.go wrong with their NHS care, according to the Parliamentary

:32:49. > :32:53.It says it's often their relatives who have to step in to complain,

:32:54. > :32:55.but even when they do, many don't believe it

:32:56. > :32:58.The Department of Health says when things go wrong,

:32:59. > :33:01.it's important to listen to the concerns of patients

:33:02. > :33:13.Elderly people are reluctant to complain because they think it's

:33:14. > :33:16.difficult, because they feel that their care may be compromised,

:33:17. > :33:19.and because they don't think that it will make a difference

:33:20. > :33:32.So these are unfortunate circumstances.

:33:33. > :33:35.Thousands of low paid workers are to receive more than ?2 million

:33:36. > :33:38.in back pay as a result of tax investigations by the government.

:33:53. > :33:56.intends to use military force against North Korea,

:33:57. > :33:58.and if they do they must get Seoul's "consent."

:34:23. > :34:30.visitors after Brexit, according to the BBC. The proposal could mean

:36:42. > :36:45.only two UK cities to feature and came 53rd out of 140. I know what

:36:59. > :37:04.talk football, Charlie Grice Celtic. Football season has only just begun,

:37:05. > :37:07.but we are already talking European football. Celtic have made a

:37:08. > :37:12.blistering start and it looks like they will be going through to the

:37:13. > :37:17.group stages, after winning against Aston are last night. -- Astana.

:37:18. > :37:21.They had a sensational season last year, undefeated in the Scottish

:37:22. > :37:23.Premiership. The real test for Brendan Rodgers is how his side goes

:37:24. > :37:24.in Europe. Celtic look all but through to

:37:25. > :37:27.the Champions League group stages after an impressive 5-0 victory over

:37:28. > :37:29.Astana of Kazahkstan. The Scottish champions

:37:30. > :37:32.were in control of the first leg qualifier throughout,

:37:33. > :37:34.as Scott Sinclair scored twice Before late goals from James Forrest

:37:35. > :37:39.and a deflected Leigh Griffiths strike made the scoreline

:37:40. > :37:40.even better. Everton have signed Gylfi Sigurdsson

:37:41. > :37:46.from Swansea City for a club record fee believed to be

:37:47. > :37:48.around ?45 million. The Iceland international has

:37:49. > :37:50.signed a 5-year deal, he says he hopes to "create

:38:01. > :38:02.begin their first day-night test this afternoon, against

:38:03. > :38:04.West Indies at Edgbaston. In a move designed to attract

:38:05. > :38:07.more fans to the game, the match will begin at two o'clock

:38:08. > :38:11.and will be played with a pink ball which shows up better

:38:12. > :38:13.under the lights. The West Indies team already has

:38:14. > :38:16.experience of playing a day-night test, but it'll be a step

:38:17. > :38:31.into the unknown for the hosts. It is hard to think of test cricket,

:38:32. > :38:35.playing it any differently to how you would normally. Ultimately it is

:38:36. > :38:39.still the same game. You have to adapt to the conditions. We have

:38:40. > :38:41.managed to do that well and should be in a good addition.

:38:42. > :38:48.-- position. It is something the game needs. Test cricket is not

:38:49. > :38:51.suffering in England, but in many territories around the world, the

:38:52. > :38:57.fans are slowly but surely decreasing. So I think this adds

:38:58. > :38:59.something to test cricket. We will be speaking a bit more about that

:39:00. > :39:01.new pink ball later on. Scotland's Catriona Matthew has been

:39:02. > :39:04.called up to replace the injured Suzann Pettersen in

:39:19. > :39:21.have made six changes for their match

:39:22. > :39:23.against USA in Dublin. Victory would guarantee them

:39:24. > :39:26.a place in the last four. The host nation Ireland know

:39:27. > :39:29.they have to beat France Wales also play, but

:39:30. > :39:34.they can't progress. Kei Nishikori has torn

:39:35. > :39:36.a tendon in his wrist, which means he'll be yet another top

:39:37. > :39:40.ranked tennis player to miss the rest of the season

:39:41. > :39:42.due to injury. The world number nine heard a pop

:39:43. > :39:46.in his wrist but will not have surgery just yet, opting

:39:47. > :39:48.for a cast instead. He'll join Novak Djokovic

:42:17. > :42:22.have been wiped out by this crisis. -- in mourning. It is heartbreaking

:42:23. > :42:26.to see the photos and footage of utter devastation. What are the

:42:27. > :42:30.biggest challenges for teams on the ground right now? As I said, there

:42:31. > :42:37.is widespread devastation. Just moving around is difficult. But we

:42:38. > :42:40.are working with our local partners, who are already opening up their

:42:41. > :42:45.churches and their schools to be able to house people, and we are

:42:46. > :42:49.assessing to work out how we can best meet their needs at this time.

:42:50. > :42:54.As we are looking at those pictures, it is often the case with these very

:42:55. > :42:58.desperate major mudslides or landslides, it is really hard to

:42:59. > :43:01.work out, you know, what was there before, and what you are looking at

:43:02. > :43:09.when you see those situations, such as the scale of the chaos. Yeah.

:43:10. > :43:15.Freetown is a really hilly city. It is a really difficult place to work

:43:16. > :43:19.in that respect. The authorities and the other aid agencies and ourselves

:43:20. > :43:23.have in working really hard to get access to all the different areas.

:43:24. > :43:27.One of the benefits of Tearfund is that we were really right in there

:43:28. > :43:32.in the communities. We know the communities. Some of the communities

:43:33. > :43:38.we have been working with have been completely wiped out. One community

:43:39. > :43:42.of 60 people, they are all dead. Another 300 have had their homes

:43:43. > :43:52.destroyed. Is there anything that could have been done to prevent this

:43:53. > :43:55.from happening? So, um, part of the reason for this is the underlying

:43:56. > :43:59.poverty that is there. That is what Tearfund tries to address, the

:44:00. > :44:04.underlying poverty. There are many contributing factors to this, but it

:44:05. > :44:11.is always the poorest who are the worst hit. That is who we are trying

:44:12. > :44:15.to support at this time. The images we are seeing now, presumably there

:44:16. > :44:18.must be real fear is looking forward about health issues being thrown up,

:44:19. > :44:23.dirty water and that sort of situation. Immediate concerns are

:44:24. > :44:28.certainly about clean water and hygienic facilities. Again, that is

:44:29. > :44:31.what we are trying to do as much as possible, make sure people have a

:44:32. > :44:34.safe place to stay, and we are co-ordinating with the government

:44:35. > :44:39.and with other agencies to make sure that they can get clean water and

:44:40. > :44:42.clean facilities. These latest reports we are hearing today, the

:44:43. > :44:46.number of children who have been caught up in this, it is really

:44:47. > :44:49.harrowing. I suppose it is often the case that those who are least able

:44:50. > :44:55.to escape, initially, other ones most vulnerable. Yes, that is what

:44:56. > :45:00.we have seen. We know of one whole family, you know, known very well by

:45:01. > :45:05.our staff out there, the whole house at 22 people in it and it was just

:45:06. > :45:11.washed away. So it is really heartbreaking, yeah, to be faced

:45:12. > :45:15.with these stories. And bridge of your staff are working in very

:45:16. > :45:20.difficult conditions. We often talk about this, but it must be very hard

:45:21. > :45:27.for them? Yes, they know many of the families that have been completely

:45:28. > :45:31.killed, or have many members of their family killed. So I think it

:45:32. > :45:35.is heartbreaking to be able to work out how they can help, at this time

:45:36. > :45:40.when they themselves are deeply affected by it. And more worryingly,

:45:41. > :45:45.we are hearing fears of a second mudslide, potentially? Yeah, we are

:45:46. > :45:49.hearing that it is likely the rains will continue. Part of what we will

:45:50. > :45:53.be doing, and what others will be doing, is to make sure that those

:45:54. > :45:54.who are still at risk can be best supported. Jeremy, thank you for

:45:55. > :46:11.your time. Let's go to Carol to look at what is

:46:12. > :46:16.happening with this morning's we. At the moment we have a hurricane in

:46:17. > :46:21.the Atlantic. This is Hurricane Gert, it is a Category 2 hurricane,

:46:22. > :46:26.which isn't particularly big. It stayed offshore, but causing some

:46:27. > :46:31.large waves. What impact does it have on us? Well, it is going to be

:46:32. > :46:35.absorbed by an area of low pressure. Over the next few days it will

:46:36. > :46:39.travel over the Atlantic and reach our shores later on Sunday. The

:46:40. > :46:46.relevance to us is tropical air will be embedded in this and warm air

:46:47. > :46:52.actually means we will see heavy rain - and heavy rain will come our

:46:53. > :46:56.way across Northern Ireland and some will see heavy rain on Monday as

:46:57. > :47:01.well. It is a bit of a way off. Today what we are looking at is rain

:47:02. > :47:04.moving away from the south and the east and then behind it we will see

:47:05. > :47:09.some sunshine and showers. Some of the showers could be heavy. Across

:47:10. > :47:14.Wales this morning a bright start, cloud for south-west England, then

:47:15. > :47:19.cloud and rain. But I'm of course is 8am and it continues as we move into

:47:20. > :47:23.northern England. For Scotland and Northern Ireland, patchy mist and

:47:24. > :47:27.fog first thing, clearing readily, then sunshine coming through. The

:47:28. > :47:30.far north of Scotland into the Northern Isles we also have some

:47:31. > :47:34.rain. The rain clears the east through the morning with some cloud

:47:35. > :47:37.left behind and it is also going to be a breezy day and we will see

:47:38. > :47:42.sunshine develop quite widely. Equally we will see some showers as

:47:43. > :47:46.well. A line could form from Somerset to Dorsett into the Home

:47:47. > :47:50.Counties. Somewhere, from northern England, southern and eastern

:47:51. > :47:54.Scotland, could be dry. Enjoy the sunshine, there could be highs

:47:55. > :47:59.between 20- 24. Through the evening and overnight the showers will fade.

:48:00. > :48:03.Further showers or develop in the west. Still it is a breezy night as

:48:04. > :48:09.well. Showers will merge as they move west to east during the course

:48:10. > :48:13.of the night. Temperature-wise in towns and cities, 12- 50, so not

:48:14. > :48:19.particular call, though in rural areas it will be cooler than the

:48:20. > :48:22.night just gone -- 12-15. Then another band comes in across

:48:23. > :48:26.Northern Ireland and it will follow a similar course, a cross the Irish

:48:27. > :48:33.Sea into northern England, southern England. On either side we have

:48:34. > :48:38.sunshine and showers. What one -- one thing you will notice is it will

:48:39. > :48:43.be a breezy day. For Saturday it is a mixture of sunshine and showers.

:48:44. > :48:46.And another breezy day. Further south you are, the less likely you

:48:47. > :48:50.are to see the showers. And then behind it you can see what I was

:48:51. > :48:54.talking about - area of low pressure coming through later in the date

:48:55. > :48:59.with ex- Hurricane Gert absorbed by it and in tropical air, with

:49:00. > :49:03.tropical rain, and that will move from the west to the east on Sunday

:49:04. > :49:07.and into Monday. Thank you very much. We will speak to you soon.

:49:08. > :49:13.The world we live in, everyone wants everything now, don't they, right

:49:14. > :49:15.now? Supermarkets are heading in that direction. It certainly is,

:49:16. > :49:18.yeah. Sainsbury's has launched

:49:19. > :49:21.a new service that lets customers click and collect groceries

:49:22. > :49:23.just half an hour later. It's being trialled in London

:49:24. > :49:26.for now but, with our increasing appetite for online shopping,

:49:27. > :49:29.we may well see services like this And we really do love filling

:49:30. > :49:33.up our virtual shopping baskets online - the latest figures

:49:34. > :49:36.from Mintel show 14% of Brits currently do all of their grocery

:49:37. > :49:39.shopping online, up from 7% Online grocery sales are expected

:49:40. > :49:43.to reach ?11.1 billion in 2017, And 53% of customers say it's

:49:44. > :49:46.important to have the ability to have online grocery orders

:49:47. > :49:54.delivered on the same day. Retail analyst Kate

:49:55. > :50:05.Hardcastle joins me now. Thank you very much for being with

:50:06. > :50:10.us. There is a real battle between supermarkets to be the fastest and

:50:11. > :50:14.the first to deliver, at least to provide access for people to click

:50:15. > :50:20.and collect. It is fascinating what's happening in grocery. It used

:50:21. > :50:26.to be a level playing field of a couple of main names. Now we've got

:50:27. > :50:32.such a marketplace, mainly because as consumers we want everything how

:50:33. > :50:39.we want it - I think we cite all of the change down to the German

:50:40. > :50:43.discounters, the Aldis and Lidles, which has an economical offer that

:50:44. > :50:47.is great quality. We are eating out more. We are more savvy as

:50:48. > :50:55.customers. We have Amazon coming into the market. And we have seen

:50:56. > :50:58.Amazon delivering within the hour - is it pressuring supermarkets?

:50:59. > :51:04.Exactly. The big five have additional pressures. They can't

:51:05. > :51:10.stand for one thing. It can't be "We will offer the cheapest price".

:51:11. > :51:15.Customers want so much more. It has to be experiential, it has to be

:51:16. > :51:19.theatre - we have cooking schools at Waitrose. If it is the cheapest, it

:51:20. > :51:26.has to be the best quality, like the discount stores. As saying --

:51:27. > :51:30.Sainsbury's are doing, you know, groceries will be ready in 15

:51:31. > :51:34.minutes. Before long the fridge will talk to the supermarket to tell them

:51:35. > :51:38.what to order for you. At the moment at Sainsbury's it is only in city

:51:39. > :51:42.centre stores for a number of items - will you see it rolled out wider

:51:43. > :51:46.and other supermarkets doing the same thing in half an hour? It is a

:51:47. > :51:50.London store with a high demand for it and people are on the move, and

:51:51. > :51:54.that's not going to be relevant to a lot of us. We don't want a 30 minute

:51:55. > :51:57.click and collect service. Sainsbury's are saying "Look how

:51:58. > :52:02.much we are listening because we want to make sure it is about choice

:52:03. > :52:06.for you". They are not the only ones. We have German discounters not

:52:07. > :52:13.just offering price but quality and other brands offering so much more

:52:14. > :52:16.in their remit, then it is such a churned up market and we are so

:52:17. > :52:20.fickle as customers that we show no loyalty and we will go where we feel

:52:21. > :52:23.suits us best. Thank you very much. Really interesting at the moment

:52:24. > :52:28.with supermarkets not necessarily making much money, though they feel

:52:29. > :52:29.like they have to fight just to win our custom.

:52:30. > :52:31.Thank you very much. For some, living on a canal boat

:52:32. > :52:35.is an opportunity to live life at a slower pace, but for others

:52:36. > :52:38.it's a way to escape With more and more houseboats

:52:39. > :52:42.on our waterways, the Canal and River Trust is asking anyone

:52:43. > :52:45.thinking of swapping bricks for boating to think carefully

:52:46. > :52:55.before considering a life The Trent and Mersey Canal in

:52:56. > :53:01.Staffordshire, where Kerry and Pete have a lot of work. When it comes to

:53:02. > :53:06.boats sinking we're definitely getting busier. They run River

:53:07. > :53:11.Kennet rescue helping boat owners in trouble teaching canal users basic

:53:12. > :53:15.rules which to the exasperation many are unaware of -- canals. You drive

:53:16. > :53:19.on the right-hand side when you are passing another boat so it is port

:53:20. > :53:23.to port, left to left. These are metal boats. They rust in the water.

:53:24. > :53:28.If you don't take it out of the water and treat it it will rot away

:53:29. > :53:33.to nothing the boat sinks. After years of neglect, many canals are

:53:34. > :53:37.busy once more and those who look after them say that canal users,

:53:38. > :53:42.especially those new to all this, need to ensure they know what they

:53:43. > :53:46.are doing. Well, one of the issues that we have is the sheer popularity

:53:47. > :53:50.of canals means it is used by more and more people. The Canal and River

:53:51. > :53:54.Trust manages 2000 miles of waterways in England and away from

:53:55. > :54:00.the dangerous misuse of lochs to the dumping of waste - the boom in canal

:54:01. > :54:07.use has many downsides. All you have here is two whitebeam boats China,

:54:08. > :54:11.which is quadruple mooring, causing obstruction for other craft trying

:54:12. > :54:15.to get through. The trust records incidents when it came but in

:54:16. > :54:22.London, where the problems are the most severe, it is a huge task. Vote

:54:23. > :54:26.Compass have risen by 72% since 2012 to more than 4000 -- boat numbers.

:54:27. > :54:31.The majority in London have what are known as continuous cruiser licenses

:54:32. > :54:35.and only today for a permanent mooring but the boats can't stay in

:54:36. > :54:39.the same place for more than 14 days. Just moved out of a flat in

:54:40. > :54:43.Brixton because I can't afford to live there any more and here there

:54:44. > :54:47.is a boat. Nick is typical of many that are new to the canals,

:54:48. > :54:51.attracted by a lower cost of living. It is comfortable. We don't have a

:54:52. > :54:55.toilet on-board. We don't have a shower. At the moment the motor is

:54:56. > :55:00.broken. We don't have any electricity. There is no power. You

:55:01. > :55:04.prefer it to paying money on a flat? For the moment, yes. Nick and his

:55:05. > :55:08.friends stress they are responsible users, though they will have to soon

:55:09. > :55:13.move on from the spot and find another, which won't be easy. Sarah

:55:14. > :55:17.manages a private mooring site and believes many canal newcomers have

:55:18. > :55:22.thought things through. It is not their fault. There is nothing in

:55:23. > :55:27.place to say, OK, you need to know this before you put a boat on the

:55:28. > :55:31.water. You only learn it as you go along. It is baptism by fire. Three

:55:32. > :55:35.quarters of the boats moored in the capital are now being lived in

:55:36. > :55:38.according to the Canal and River Trust. A transport system built to

:55:39. > :55:42.carry goods buckling under pressure from people.

:55:43. > :55:44.It is a whole different kind of lifestyle.

:01:54. > :01:56.In England, it's the first year that students will get results

:01:57. > :01:59.after major reforms to A-levels, including a move away

:02:00. > :02:01.from coursework, modular exams and separate AS-levels.

:02:02. > :02:07.Here's our education correspondent Gillian Hargreaves.

:02:08. > :02:10.Three months ago they were busy showing what they had learnt.

:02:11. > :02:12.Now the students at this college in East

:02:13. > :02:16.London are about to find out if their hard work paid off.

:02:17. > :02:18.In England recent changes to A-levels mean these

:02:19. > :02:21.are the first students to sit one exam at the end of two

:02:22. > :02:25.Less emphasis on coursework, and AS-levels no longer count

:02:26. > :02:31.towards the final grading of 13 subjects.

:02:32. > :02:34.The new type of A-levels are unsettling for some students.

:02:35. > :02:38.I think the new system wants us to memorise stuff rather than learn.

:02:39. > :02:43.They are just trying to make it harder for us and it is going to get

:02:44. > :02:49.We have no past papers, so we have no practice.

:02:50. > :02:53.Even our teachers, there are so many new things in the syllabus

:02:54. > :02:56.that our teachers are struggling to teach it as well.

:02:57. > :02:59.But the change of direction has been welcomed by some heads.

:03:00. > :03:03.I think it prepares students well for university and for employment.

:03:04. > :03:08.The key challeng is for awarding bodies to make sure that they're

:03:09. > :03:17.high standard, so the students get the results they deserve.

:03:18. > :03:20.There has been a drop in the number of

:03:21. > :03:23.students applying to university this year, so it is expected there may be

:03:24. > :03:30.more places available to young people who want to shop around.

:03:44. > :03:45.go wrong with their NHS care, according to the Parliamentary

:03:46. > :03:49.It says it's often their relatives who have to step

:03:50. > :03:52.in to complain, but even when they do, many don't believe it

:03:53. > :04:03.There are far fewer complaints from older people then expected,

:04:04. > :04:08.given their high usage of the NHS, according to the ombudsman.

:04:09. > :04:11.Elderly people are reluctant to complain because they think

:04:12. > :04:15.it is difficult, because they feel that their care may be compromised,

:04:16. > :04:21.and because they don't think that it will make a difference

:04:22. > :04:29.So these are unfortunate circumstances.

:04:30. > :04:31.Often their families have to intervene.

:04:32. > :04:42.The ombudsman and the social networking sites Gransnet

:04:43. > :04:47.35% said there were times when they cared about care of their relatives.

:04:48. > :04:50.58% complained, but 67% of them did not believe it

:04:51. > :04:54.The ombudsman says the NHS must make it clear how to complain,

:04:55. > :04:59.and those who do must be convinced that future care will not suffer.

:05:00. > :05:02.In response, the Department of Health said that when things go

:05:50. > :05:59.Eleanor, what do we know about the government's plans?

:06:00. > :06:08.We are due to get the full detail in the autumn in a few weeks but this

:06:09. > :06:12.idea of Visa - free travel is on the table and that would mean that just

:06:13. > :06:17.as now, people from the EU want to come here to visit and on a holiday

:06:18. > :06:22.would be able to do that without a Visa however if you want to come

:06:23. > :06:26.here and work and study will stay here for much longer period, you

:06:27. > :06:31.would need to apply to do that and get permission. This is all meant to

:11:31. > :11:34.We can talk now to Caroline Palmer, who had worries

:11:35. > :11:37.when her mother was in hospital, and from Westminster,

:11:38. > :11:52.Caroline, tell us what happened. My mum was in and out of hospital for

:11:53. > :11:58.the last two years of her life between 2014 and 2016. She had quite

:11:59. > :12:02.a rare neurological condition which meant that she was losing the

:12:03. > :12:07.ability to talk so I was there to explain to the doctors and nurses

:12:08. > :12:12.what kind of care she required and whether she had any concerns about

:12:13. > :12:18.how she was being treated. She would tell me. She was having problems

:12:19. > :12:26.getting anyone to understand because it was quite difficult. What then

:12:27. > :12:30.happened, did you complain? I got to the stage where they would see me

:12:31. > :12:34.coming and go, it's her again. I would have to go up and say, this

:12:35. > :12:39.has happened or mum is a little concerned about this. I find that

:12:40. > :12:44.with overstretched Shaath -- staff and shift changes, I would be

:12:45. > :12:49.repeating myself or coming back and having to say it again because they

:12:50. > :12:54.hadn't been able to do anything the first time and one particular case,

:12:55. > :12:59.when I had cause to complain about a discharge that was unsafe, a social

:13:00. > :13:02.worker put me onto how to make an official complaint and having chased

:13:03. > :13:09.it up a few times, unfortunately no response to it. I didn't have the

:13:10. > :13:18.time or the energy while I was looking up to mum to actually trace

:13:19. > :13:24.it up further. Re: official complaints, let's speak to the NHS

:13:25. > :13:29.ombudsman. The issue about people, what badly, in those moments in

:13:30. > :13:32.time, the main thing you want to do with a relative is look after them.

:13:33. > :13:37.Taking to an official complaint, that is not the first thing in your

:13:38. > :13:45.priority. Is that part of the problem, that people don't have the

:13:46. > :13:50.time or the energy? That is exactly part of a problem and I'm sorry to

:13:51. > :13:56.you about the experience we have just listened to. People in hospital

:13:57. > :14:01.are very distressed, they are worried, those looking after them

:14:02. > :14:07.are concerned about their treatment. And this is the time that hospitals

:14:08. > :14:12.need to listen and respond to concerns survey to become complaints

:14:13. > :14:17.and unfortunately, practising the NHS is consistent in this way.

:14:18. > :14:22.Something tells me that one of the things people want, what Caroline

:14:23. > :14:27.wanted its somebody do something right then and right there. In

:14:28. > :14:32.people's heads, they are thinking, if I put in an official complaint,

:14:33. > :14:37.it would go to a committee. That does not solve the problem you have

:14:38. > :14:43.in front of you there and then. Winner Kamal assert that families

:14:44. > :14:47.and elderly relatives and hospital cover most of the time, they

:14:48. > :14:53.complaint and nurses and nurses to a wonderful job for the NHS. But the

:14:54. > :15:00.hospitals have to find a way to enable nurses and clinicians to

:15:01. > :15:05.listen carefully to patients so they can act when something is a concern

:15:06. > :15:10.rather than a complaint so it can be resolved in the hospital rather than

:15:11. > :15:21.having to go or come to us reading go to hospital.

:15:22. > :15:25.survey but a survey in 2015 found the same thing - we haven't moved

:15:26. > :15:31.on. I am determined there will be change. I am not of them on the

:15:32. > :15:36.basis of the record that progress is going to be quick. Very little seems

:15:37. > :15:45.to change since we did the big survey in 2015. It is incumbent upon

:15:46. > :15:51.hospitals, regulators, the ombudsman, to work together to make

:15:52. > :15:58.sure that this situation changes rapidly. And Caroline, that is

:15:59. > :16:02.clearly very important, when their structures are made to work better,

:16:03. > :16:07.but did you have those concerns when he walked away from the ward that if

:16:08. > :16:13.you were complaining person, the one who you mentioned before, the look

:16:14. > :16:18.on the faces - that we could make these things worse? There was a bit

:16:19. > :16:27.of you that was a worry? Luckily for me, no, not with the staff that she

:16:28. > :16:32.had around. For me I wasn't worried. The greatest concern I actually had

:16:33. > :16:37.was for those patients I could see who didn't have a version of me to

:16:38. > :16:43.speak up for them. My mum had me and she knew that I would go and say

:16:44. > :16:47.something on her behalf. There were an awful lot of people who don't

:16:48. > :16:50.have family members who can say something and nothing for them

:16:51. > :16:55.sometimes they feel a little concerned about raising any issues

:16:56. > :17:00.or saying something. It has been lovely to hear your story - thank

:17:01. > :17:02.you so much. Thank you for your time this morning as well. It is a story

:17:03. > :17:10.that many people can relate to. Let's have a look at this morning's

:17:11. > :17:13.weather. Good morning. This morning we have heavy rain moving in the

:17:14. > :17:17.direction of the North Sea. When that clears all of us will see a

:17:18. > :17:22.breezy day and sunshine and showers but by no means we'll be all see

:17:23. > :17:26.showers. You can see the amount of rain we have had through the night

:17:27. > :17:30.moving from the west to the east. It is still across eastern England,

:17:31. > :17:36.heading in the direction of Sussex, for example. As we go through the

:17:37. > :17:40.morning the west will continue to brighten, nicely across south-west

:17:41. > :17:44.England and Wales with sunshine. As the rain moves to the North Sea

:17:45. > :17:47.there will be a lot of cloud left in its wake initially. And then into

:17:48. > :17:52.northern England we have the dregs of the rain in the far north of

:17:53. > :17:56.England, Cumbria is brightening nicely and for Northern Ireland and

:17:57. > :18:00.Scotland the patchy mist and fog won't last much longer and then it

:18:01. > :18:09.will be a sunny and dry start to the day with one or two caveats and the

:18:10. > :18:13.first is the showers here, developing through the afternoon in

:18:14. > :18:17.particular, a line from Somerset through Dorset into the Home

:18:18. > :18:20.Counties, one or two in Wales, one or two in Northern Ireland and

:18:21. > :18:23.western Scotland, though you could be dry in eastern and southern

:18:24. > :18:29.Scotland and northern England, and in the sunshine it will feel

:18:30. > :18:33.pleasantly flies up to 24, maybe 25 in the south-east -- pleasantly with

:18:34. > :18:37.highs. Through the evening an overnight we lose daytime showers

:18:38. > :18:40.and we have more showers coming from the west, some will merge with

:18:41. > :18:43.longer spells of rain as they move across Northern Ireland into

:18:44. > :18:48.Scotland and northern England. Temperature-wise, 12- 15 will be the

:18:49. > :18:51.overnight lows. A little bit low in the countryside. Tomorrow the rain

:18:52. > :18:55.continues to move north eastwards. We will see more coming across

:18:56. > :19:00.Northern Ireland, through the Irish Sea into a southern Scotland and

:19:01. > :19:04.northern England. On either side of it some sunshine and showers but one

:19:05. > :19:08.thing you will notice will be the wind. It will be quite a blustery

:19:09. > :19:11.and gusty wind and that will have an impact on the temperatures, as

:19:12. > :19:16.indeed with the showers, we are looking at between 13- 21 degrees.

:19:17. > :19:23.On Saturday there will be a lot of dry weather around. Some showers

:19:24. > :19:28.still, it is still a breezy day. The V festival is on, another festival

:19:29. > :19:33.is on, you could well miss showers, up to 21 degrees, not as warm as it

:19:34. > :19:37.will be today. Then behind me we can see the next system coming on

:19:38. > :19:42.Sunday. That is an area of low pressure. It will have absorbed by

:19:43. > :19:47.then ex-Hurricane Bertha. The relevance that has on us is that

:19:48. > :19:52.warm air contains more moisture, so we will see heavy rain coming this

:19:53. > :19:55.way, the wind will be stronger, as they are going to be doing the

:19:56. > :20:04.course of the next couple of days. Thank you. It is 7:19am and more

:20:05. > :20:07.than 10,000 workers will be refunded ?2 million after their employer

:20:08. > :20:09.failed to pay them the minimum wage. We have more of that and the other

:20:10. > :20:14.stories. Good morning. The latest employment statistics

:20:15. > :20:22.show that the number of people from the EU working here in Britain

:20:23. > :20:25.has hit a record high. But the rate of new migrants

:20:26. > :20:28.adding to that workforce There's been a particular drop

:20:29. > :20:50.in those coming from Poland, And Tesco has become the latest

:20:51. > :20:54.supermarket to trial and electronic pricetags on its shelves -

:20:55. > :20:58.everything on the digital display including crucially the price can be

:20:59. > :21:02.changed at the click of a button and I will have more on what all of that

:21:03. > :21:04.means for shoppers later in the programme. Thank you.

:21:05. > :21:07.It's a day most of us never forget, exam results day.

:21:08. > :21:10.Today, the class of 2017 find out if they've studied hard enough

:21:11. > :21:12.to get a university place after their A-level results.

:21:18. > :21:21.Our reporter Lara Rostron is at Birmingham City University

:21:22. > :21:38.And very good morning to you. How are things going this morning? Good

:21:39. > :21:42.morning. It is really hotting up with thousands of calls here at

:21:43. > :21:47.Birmingham City University, which is where clearing is taking place here.

:21:48. > :21:50.Now, this is a very diverse university, one of the most diverse

:21:51. > :21:56.in the whole country, in fact, 48% of students here are from a BME

:21:57. > :22:00.background. But there is concern across the country that BME

:22:01. > :22:02.students, especially black students, are underrepresented in many of the

:22:03. > :22:25.UK universities. He is mixed race, he has been

:22:26. > :22:30.in care most of his life and went But it is a university

:22:31. > :22:34.where traditionally minority groups I really want to have this

:22:35. > :22:38.opportunity to study at Cambridge, at a top university and get a feel

:22:39. > :22:41.for that as an experience A lot of people who come here have

:22:42. > :22:46.top of the range tutors, have been going to private schools

:22:47. > :22:49.where they pretty much have separate sort of lessons where they just

:22:50. > :22:52.teach you how to get In London comprehensive schools,

:22:53. > :22:55.that just isn't really available. Cambridge says one in five

:22:56. > :22:59.of its students is now from a black or minority ethnic background,

:23:00. > :23:01.which roughly reflects But this week researchers

:23:02. > :23:04.at Bath University say many BME students still feel uncomfortable

:23:10. > :23:14.who posed for this photograph along with all the other black men

:23:15. > :23:17.at Cambridge in his year. They hoped it would encourage more

:23:18. > :23:31.people like them to apply. On a social level and maybe

:23:32. > :23:34.on a cultural level someone like myself - you are in

:23:35. > :23:37.a totally different place. Meaning there are not as many

:23:38. > :23:42.people who are like you. Within Cambridge, rather

:23:43. > :23:44.than perhaps those that The number of black students

:23:45. > :23:57.at the top four universities in the country has increased 100%

:23:58. > :24:00.in the last ten years, Those universities formed

:24:01. > :24:04.the Russell Group, which is investing millions

:24:05. > :24:07.of pounds to improve access, There is some evidence

:24:08. > :24:13.of unconscious bias going on and if they apply they don't get

:24:14. > :24:17.accepted in such numbers. People are making

:24:18. > :24:18.incremental changes. Therefore we need to make a much

:24:19. > :24:23.more significant change. I don't want to hear lipservice,

:24:24. > :24:27.I want to see action. Universities working closely

:24:28. > :24:33.with schools is just one way to improve access -

:24:34. > :24:36.another is using mentors who have I think for minority students,

:24:37. > :24:41.sometimes they get caught up in expectations of teachers in terms

:24:42. > :24:44.of courses that they might not necessarily want to do

:24:45. > :24:51.but that is all they know about. For Ciaran, if he gets a A and two

:24:52. > :24:55.A stars this morning, No longer dreaming of Cambridge

:24:56. > :24:59.student life but leaving it in one of the world's most

:25:00. > :25:09.prestigious universities. Don't worry, we will let you know

:25:10. > :25:14.his results and he will get them around eight o'clock. It is very

:25:15. > :25:19.busy. Look who is answering the phones as well, Sir Lenny Henry, the

:25:20. > :25:28.Chancellor of Birmingham city University. Good morning. Over here

:25:29. > :25:34.is the vice chancellor, and I must admit, it is nerve-racking, because

:25:35. > :25:40.it is only your fourth day in the job. Yes, and the most exciting day

:25:41. > :25:44.in the job, because it is when the students get their results, so it is

:25:45. > :25:48.thrilling. The uni is doing well to attract students from a BME

:25:49. > :25:52.background, why is that? Birmingham is one of the most successful and

:25:53. > :25:57.vibrant cities and we reflect this city so it is no surprise we find we

:25:58. > :26:02.are a university where the student make up is in line with that.

:26:03. > :26:07.Clearing is different to how it used to be, because you're getting people

:26:08. > :26:12.who maybe have an even apply to you this year. And one of the pleasing

:26:13. > :26:15.things is even though we have a refreshed and level system students

:26:16. > :26:18.have done really well and we are getting people who perhaps didn't

:26:19. > :26:23.think of coming to university calling to say is it right for me to

:26:24. > :26:26.do? And that's what today, tomorrow and the weeks to come are about,

:26:27. > :26:31.getting the right student in the right place. Last year you too 5000

:26:32. > :26:36.calls on the first aid. I imagine we took even more in reality but it is

:26:37. > :26:41.very busy indeed. It is a pleasure to be at such a thriving place.

:26:42. > :26:45.Thank you very much and we will catch up with Sir Lenny Henry at

:26:46. > :26:52.8:10am and now it is back to you. Thank you very much. It is a bit of

:26:53. > :26:55.a surprise, isn't it, to have Sir Lenny Henry answering the phone.

:26:56. > :30:16.That would be good. And good luck to everybody getting results today.

:30:17. > :30:18.For now, though, it's back to Charlie and Tina.

:30:19. > :30:29.Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Tina Daheley.

:30:30. > :30:33.The first students to sit the new A Level exams in England

:30:34. > :30:34.are getting their results this morning.

:30:35. > :30:39.The changes include the removal of modules, AS levels no longer

:30:40. > :30:42.counting towards the final grade and students sitting all their exams

:30:43. > :30:50.The shake-up doesn't apply in Wales or Northern Ireland,

:30:51. > :30:51.where results are also published today.

:30:52. > :30:57.For those students chasing a university place, there are tens

:30:58. > :31:05.of thousands available through clearing.

:31:06. > :31:08.The big picture coming through is that there have not been many big

:31:09. > :31:10.changes. Far too many older people

:31:11. > :31:13.are suffering in silence when things go wrong with their NHS care,

:31:14. > :31:15.according to the Parliamentary It says it's often

:31:16. > :31:21.their relatives who have to step in to complain,

:31:22. > :31:23.but even when they do, many don't believe it

:31:24. > :31:25.makes a difference. The Department of Health says

:38:15. > :38:23.The West Indies team already has experience of playing a day-night

:38:48. > :38:49.around the world, the fans are slowly but surely

:38:50. > :39:07.So I think this adds something to test cricket.

:39:08. > :39:13.I know you're asking if there is a real difference in colour. But there

:39:14. > :39:17.is a crease which has been added to the red ones that moisture does not

:39:18. > :39:21.get into the ball and it maintains a shine so because of the pigment, but

:39:22. > :39:26.Greece can't be added. Some of the players have used it say the pink

:39:27. > :39:31.one can degrade a little bit more. It starts playing well but the

:39:32. > :39:38.quality of the ball changes. You have a white ball as well. That is

:39:39. > :39:44.limited overs cricket. Exactly. In the shorter formats of the game.

:39:45. > :39:49.That can't be used as in test cricket, you play with the

:39:50. > :39:56.traditional white. You are just showing off. Look at that. They did

:39:57. > :40:05.try an orange ball as well but they picked the pink one. A bit of a

:40:06. > :40:08.juggle them. Wait for Brent a bit later, as to how it is going to

:40:09. > :40:09.affect players. Throughout the summer we've been

:40:10. > :40:12.talking to some of the UK's most inspirational businesswom -

:40:13. > :40:15.Colletta is here to tell us about today's guest,

:40:16. > :40:18.a woman on a mission to get us Yes, most of us use

:40:19. > :40:23.the internet every day - you could even say

:40:24. > :40:25.we're tech addicts - but how the internet

:40:26. > :40:28.actually works is a mystery. Our latest inspirational

:40:29. > :40:46.businesswoman wants to change that. Catherine Parsons is the CEO of a

:40:47. > :40:49.tech start-up she started with the aim of improving people's digital

:40:50. > :40:54.literacy. She says she wants to demystify the dark art of coding and

:40:55. > :40:58.came up with the idea of teaching coding in one day when others told

:40:59. > :41:03.her it couldn't be done. She doesn't have a traditional tack background,

:41:04. > :41:07.a Cambridge graduate with a passion to languages. She says coding is

:41:08. > :41:11.another language. And she is making herself heard. She campaigned for

:41:12. > :41:15.coding to be added to the school curriculum in 2014 and is on the

:41:16. > :41:19.business panel advising the government on Brexit issues.

:41:20. > :41:26.Catherine Parsons joins us. Thank keep coming in. Looking at your

:41:27. > :41:33.background, you are not, traditional tack background. What got you

:41:34. > :41:37.interested, what excited you? I studied the tin and ancient Greek

:41:38. > :41:42.which seems is different to coding is possible but for me, technology

:41:43. > :41:46.is another language and coding and I've always been passionate about

:41:47. > :41:50.languages but it's the language of today, it's the language of

:41:51. > :41:55.billions, it's incredibly relevant and they wanted to decode it. You

:41:56. > :41:59.are considered one of the most influential women in tech at the

:42:00. > :42:05.moment. It's still a very male-dominated industry. How does it

:42:06. > :42:10.feel to be a senior figure and a woman in that industry? Have you

:42:11. > :42:18.experienced discrimination? The whole scene has changed a lot in the

:42:19. > :42:22.last four years, especially the UK. No queue for the women's blue, which

:42:23. > :42:29.was a bit of a change. It feels really vibrant and diverse. It's an

:42:30. > :42:34.incredible place to be a woman. I know so many great female technology

:42:35. > :42:38.founders. I want women to know this is a brilliant place for them. They

:42:39. > :42:44.can earn lots of money, start their own businesses and I'm super proud

:42:45. > :42:50.that over 50% of the people we have taught have been female. That is

:42:51. > :42:58.great to hear but my degree was in computer science. Look at me now! At

:42:59. > :43:03.the time, it was dominated by men and the stereotype of nerds working

:43:04. > :43:07.in the lab 's 24- seven was true to its good to hear it has changed.

:43:08. > :43:13.Your big thing is you can teach people how to code in one day. Quite

:43:14. > :43:20.a bold statement that it came back in 2000 when we are in Shoreditch,

:43:21. > :43:25.East London, the world was changing, and if you closed underneath the

:43:26. > :43:30.surface, no one really understood how these technologies were being

:43:31. > :43:35.built. I just wanted to learn. I didn't want to go back to university

:43:36. > :43:41.and I didn't have three years. I wanted to learn now so I thought,

:43:42. > :43:46.could you teach me how to code in a single day? Not turn you into a

:43:47. > :43:49.fully fledged developer but really transform your literacy and your

:43:50. > :43:53.confidence and give you that feeling of being able to have a conversation

:43:54. > :43:58.with a developer and it took a long time to create that but it resonates

:43:59. > :44:03.and its spread like wildfire so we taught in 85 cities across the world

:44:04. > :44:10.last year and we are taking on all the digital dark arts, code, Dato, a

:44:11. > :44:18.higher, you name it. Your enthusiasm for what you do shines through. I am

:44:19. > :44:22.intrigued, when you step out of that environment, sated as you are, and

:44:23. > :44:28.you go into a studio government position, so you are advising the

:44:29. > :44:33.Brexit panel example, but this is, we know that government can be slow

:44:34. > :44:38.to react. Brexit is full of, as we are hearing, a lot of confusing

:44:39. > :44:43.messages. How easy is it for you? I suspect you are one of these people

:44:44. > :44:48.who says let's do this, let's do it now, let's get some answers. How

:44:49. > :44:53.frustrating is that? It's been amazing. To get more involved in

:44:54. > :44:59.those roles. It's really important the technology scene in the UK to

:45:00. > :45:06.champion its growth. It was incredible I could start a business

:45:07. > :45:10.with a credit card loan and a belief in 2011 and how it can create an

:45:11. > :45:16.environment that is conducive to start-ups, scale up and growing and

:45:17. > :45:20.attracting the best talent in the UK so all I can do is try to represent

:45:21. > :45:22.the voices of the technology industry and other people try to

:45:23. > :45:33.start businesses. behind the curve when it comes to

:45:34. > :45:37.technology. You are banging the drum and then you think they are behind

:45:38. > :45:44.where you are, that is what we hear? I think that 0.01% of people in the

:45:45. > :45:48.world say they can be confident about what is behind the screen and

:45:49. > :45:51.what has been satisfying about teaching lots of different

:45:52. > :45:56.governments in different countries has been everyone's left behind -

:45:57. > :45:59.there are very few people with the capabilities preparing them for the

:46:00. > :46:07.future of work, so every industry needs to be up skilling and I think

:46:08. > :46:14.it's a great Sinai and involved. A-level results today - what advice

:46:15. > :46:19.to those who didn't get the grades they wanted, what is the appeal of

:46:20. > :46:22.working in tech? I was chatting to someone and set are quite remember

:46:23. > :46:26.the last time someone said about what I got for my A-levels. I would

:46:27. > :46:31.say congratulation. What an achievement. The future is in your

:46:32. > :46:36.hands. No one ever told me I could start a business. Entrepreneurship

:46:37. > :46:41.was not something ever mentioned. I didn't even study computer science

:46:42. > :46:45.or technology. I am working with the lot of businesses globally with

:46:46. > :46:51.people trying to figure out what the future of work looks like. Follow

:46:52. > :46:54.your passions, creativity, technology, communication skills -

:46:55. > :47:00.is a hybrid that people are looking for. And good luck. What a very

:47:01. > :47:10.positive message! What were the results? Two As and a B. No one

:47:11. > :47:15.asked me what I got the B in. What was it? French. Thank you.

:47:16. > :47:17.You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:47:18. > :47:20.The main stories this morning: Hundreds of thousands of students

:47:21. > :47:22.in England, Wales and Northern Ireland will get their A-level

:47:23. > :47:26.A warning that too many elderly patients are suffering in silence

:47:27. > :47:31.when things go wrong with their NHS care.

:47:32. > :47:36.Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

:47:37. > :47:44.Lots of people had some big storms last night? Yes, some thunderstorms

:47:45. > :47:49.moving west to east, quite right. Good morning. We still have the rain

:47:50. > :47:56.pushing to the North Sea. It will clear. In the not too distant

:47:57. > :48:00.future, and then we have sunshine and showers. If we look at the rain

:48:01. > :48:09.through the night, it moved across Northern Ireland, Scotland, and

:48:10. > :48:13.Wales and behind it is brightening up nicely. As we move away from the

:48:14. > :48:17.east you will notice the cloud behind it, it will break and then we

:48:18. > :48:21.see sunshine coming through and some showers developing as well. Quite a

:48:22. > :48:25.breezy day you will notice if you are out and about with showers from

:48:26. > :48:29.parts of Somerset, heading to Dorset, the Home Counties, though

:48:30. > :48:33.they are showers and not all of us will see them. Many will be dry with

:48:34. > :48:39.sunshine. Temperatures could reach 24- 25 in the south-east. The

:48:40. > :48:43.Midlands into Wales, a similar scenario. A lot of dry weather

:48:44. > :48:48.around. One or two showers in Wales. It could be dry in northern England.

:48:49. > :48:53.Showers in Northern Ireland. A lot of showers in Scotland. Eastern and

:48:54. > :48:57.southern Scotland could miss them altogether. It will be pleasant and

:48:58. > :49:02.the sunshine. These are the temperature levels, up to 25. This

:49:03. > :49:07.evening and overnight we lose many of the daytime showers and we see

:49:08. > :49:11.more coming in from the west, some merging across Northern Ireland into

:49:12. > :49:14.northern England and also Scotland. We start with those tomorrow and

:49:15. > :49:19.continue to drift north eastwards. Tomorrow is going to be quite

:49:20. > :49:24.blustery. Quite gusty wind. We lose the first band showers. The next one

:49:25. > :49:28.coming in across Northern Ireland, the Irish Sea, into south-west

:49:29. > :49:33.Scotland and northern England. Away from that, sunshine and showers. And

:49:34. > :49:36.it will be cooler than today with temperatures up to 21. Temperatures

:49:37. > :49:41.are low anyway and they will be tempered by the breeze. From Friday

:49:42. > :49:45.into Saturday a gang lot of dry weather. We have low pressure

:49:46. > :49:49.sitting to the north-east of Scotland -- again. It will produce

:49:50. > :49:52.outbreaks of rain for the Northern Isles. Many of us will be dry with

:49:53. > :49:56.lots of festivals taking place on Saturday. You could be lucky to miss

:49:57. > :50:02.them especially the further south you travel. There are highs up to

:50:03. > :50:07.21. Then we have the system waiting. That is for Sunday later on. It is

:50:08. > :50:12.an area of low pressure. By the time it gets to us it will have absorbed

:50:13. > :50:19.the remnants of ex-Hurricane Bertha. The relevance is only that it will

:50:20. > :50:23.be containing tropical air. Warm air contains more moisture than cold air

:50:24. > :50:29.so we will see heavy rain from that as it moves from west to east on

:50:30. > :50:34.Sunday and Monday. For many Sunday will begin on a dry and bright note

:50:35. > :50:35.and later we see the rain come from the west. Thank you very much.

:50:36. > :50:39.For some living on a canal boat is an opportunity to live life

:50:40. > :50:42.at a slower pace, but for others it's a way to escape

:50:43. > :50:46.With more and more houseboats on our waterways, the Canal

:50:47. > :50:49.and River Trust is asking anyone thinking of swapping bricks

:50:50. > :50:51.for boating to think carefully before considering a life

:50:56. > :51:02.When it comes to boats sinking, we're definitely getting busier.

:51:03. > :51:06.They run River Canal Rescue, helping boat owners in trouble,

:51:07. > :51:11.teaching canal users basic rules, which, to their exasperation,

:51:12. > :51:16.You drive on the right-hand side when you're passing another boat.

:51:17. > :51:25.If you don't take it out of the water and treat it,

:51:26. > :51:28.it will rot away to nothing until the boat sinks.

:51:29. > :51:31.After years of neglect, many canals are busy once more,

:51:32. > :51:34.and those who look after them say that canal users,

:51:35. > :51:37.especially those new to all this, need to ensure they know

:51:38. > :51:45.Well, one of the issues that we have is the sheer popularity of canals

:51:46. > :51:47.means it's used by more and more people.

:51:48. > :51:51.The Canal and River Trust manages 2,000 miles of waterways in England,

:51:52. > :51:54.and, away from the dangerous misuse of lochs to the dumping of waste,

:51:55. > :51:58.the boom in canal use has many downsides.

:51:59. > :52:02.What you have here is two whitebeam boats, which is quadruple mooring,

:52:03. > :52:14.causing obstruction for other craft trying to get through.

:52:15. > :52:16.The Trust records incidents when it can.

:52:17. > :52:19.But in London, where the problems are the most severe,

:12:29. > :12:34.very enthusiastic and wants to come here, that is why -- they are

:12:41. > :12:44.been Tango'd. We have been admiring their orange outfits, tell us about

:12:57. > :13:02.and the fact there is not enough. Tell us about that. It is a major

:13:03. > :13:07.symbol, if the Chancellor looks like me, I come from a working-class

:13:08. > :13:11.background, born in Dudley, I left school without any qualifications

:13:12. > :13:24.and started my own education process at the age of 40. We have 40% mature

:13:25. > :13:31.students here, very BAME-centric area in the Midlands, almost 50% of

:13:32. > :13:35.students are BAME. Appointing me as Chancellor sends a message to people

:13:36. > :13:38.from low income and working-class background, that the opportunity is

:13:39. > :13:42.there for them as well. This university is working in many areas

:14:08. > :14:12.what the hell are you doing here, it was brilliant, it is a really good

:14:13. > :14:17.message to send out. You mentioned that as a figurehead, that works,

:14:18. > :14:21.people see you, your story into education is fascinating, am I right

:14:22. > :14:26.in thinking that you first took your GCSEs late, but you were already

:14:27. > :14:30.working, at that time with Cannon and Ball, so on stage doing comedy

:14:31. > :14:35.and then you came to education at that point. Yes, doing summer season

:14:36. > :14:40.in black ball with Cannon Ball! It was a 22 week season, I decided that

:14:41. > :14:44.I was going to basically hurl myself off a high building if I did not do

:14:45. > :14:49.something, my mother always said, you must get your education so you

:14:50. > :14:57.have something to fall back on, so I decided to do my GCSEs in black

:14:58. > :15:01.ball. Marvellous teacher, David Emery, took me through them, I was

:15:02. > :15:07.sat in the middle of the and people were saying, is that the bloke from

:15:08. > :15:11.Tiswas doing GCSE English! It made me think, maybe there is something

:15:12. > :15:17.in this, maybe I should continue with my education. I began open

:15:18. > :15:21.University when I was 40, 2006. It has been a long journey, I now have

:15:22. > :15:27.my AMA, I have just completed my Ph.D.. I think education is for

:15:28. > :15:30.everybody. -- MA. I think the education system has become more

:15:52. > :15:57.there might be something here for you.

:15:58. > :16:02.There was a time when you felt like places like Birmingham City

:16:03. > :16:07.University or other universities, I think, what was the phrase you used,

:16:08. > :16:13.not for people like me? What did you mean, and the thing that has

:16:14. > :16:18.changed? I am from a working-class background, the most we were going

:16:19. > :16:23.to do was an HND or go to tech. The idea that university is now a

:16:24. > :16:27.possibility for all of us is a good message, and it means all of us,

:16:28. > :16:33.diversity and inclusion is a very easy phrase to understand. So if we

:16:52. > :16:56.?260 million has been spent on facilities at this amazing

:17:15. > :17:17.hear. Thank you very much, and you get mums ringing up and adds ringing

:17:18. > :17:20.up and young people ringing up, and they have got the result which is

:17:21. > :17:23.not quite the result they wanted all they want start again, or they are

:17:24. > :17:27.thinking this is much better than I thought, maybe I should go to

:17:28. > :17:30.university. And all these people are trained to deal with them. I have

:17:31. > :17:35.been sitting listening into some of the conversations, and it's

:17:36. > :17:37.brilliant. They add up their UCAS points and then they transfer them

:17:38. > :17:42.to somebody who can navigate the system. And it needs navigating but

:17:47. > :17:54.Sur Lenny Henry, thank you for your time. Thank you very much. Just

:17:55. > :17:58.imagine calling the clearing helpline and Lenny Henry answering

:17:59. > :18:06.the phone, that would make you feel good. Let's find out what is

:18:07. > :18:12.happening with the weather. Good morning, Carol. Mixed fortunes with

:18:13. > :18:15.the weather this morning. You can see this beautiful picture sent in

:18:16. > :18:21.by one of our Weather Watchers in Aberdeenshire. Lovely start the day.

:18:22. > :18:27.Further south into Kent, a lot more cloud around and also some. That

:18:28. > :18:30.rain will clear, it is overnight rain and then for most of us it will

:18:31. > :18:33.be sunshine and showers. But it did move from the west of the East,

:18:34. > :18:36.there were some thunderstorms embedded in it. It is clearing away

:18:37. > :18:39.now and you can see already in the West it is brightening up nicely.

:18:40. > :18:44.Some sunshine coming through the cloud we currently have and as the

:18:45. > :18:53.rain clears away, although there will be rain behind it, -- cloud

:18:54. > :18:57.behind it, it will clear up. We could hit 24 or 25 somewhere in the

:18:58. > :19:02.south-east. A lot of dry weather across Southern counties with one or

:19:03. > :19:06.two showers, dry too across the channel islands, and as we push in

:19:07. > :19:11.the South a mixture of sunny spells and a few showers, the showers

:19:12. > :19:14.fairly hit and miss. For Wales, we are looking at some showers but a

:19:15. > :19:17.loss of sunshine, and then as we crossed the Irish Sea into Northern

:19:18. > :19:22.Ireland, again you have bright and some showers. Don't forget it will

:19:23. > :19:26.also be breezy. For Scotland, some of the showers are merging across

:19:27. > :19:29.the north-east but some parts of eastern and southern Scotland could

:19:30. > :19:33.escape them altogether. As could some parts of northern England, and

:19:34. > :19:37.get away with a dry day. As we come further south, we see some of the

:19:38. > :19:41.showers moving across Somerset, in the Dorset and the Home Counties.

:19:42. > :19:45.They will all fade as we go through the course of this evening, but more

:19:46. > :19:47.showers will pile in from the west across Northern Ireland, into

:19:48. > :19:53.Scotland and northern England, some of them merging. Temperature-wise,

:19:54. > :19:57.12 to 15 will be the overnight lows, in the countryside a little lower.

:19:58. > :20:02.Tomorrow we start of the showers continuing to drift north-eastwards.

:20:03. > :20:05.Then another band comes in, showery outbreaks of rain across Northern

:20:06. > :20:10.Ireland, in the northern England and southern Scotland. In between those

:20:11. > :20:13.bands, it is sunshine and showers, but tomorrow will be noticeably

:20:14. > :20:18.windy, quite blustery, gusty winds across much of the UK. That will peg

:20:19. > :20:21.back the temperature is a little so it will feel a bit cooler, but the

:20:22. > :20:29.top tempted to borrow is lower anyway at about 21 Celsius. As we

:20:30. > :20:33.head on into Saturday, a lot of dry weather around, there will be some

:20:34. > :20:39.showers, still quite breezy. A lot of festivals taking place, the free

:20:40. > :20:44.festival, Henley rewind, and one in Devon called Beautiful. The weather

:20:45. > :20:49.could maybe beautiful. Temperatures are little disappointing. As we head

:20:50. > :20:56.into Sunday, an area of low pressure will bring in some rain, embedded in

:20:57. > :21:00.this is a ex-hurricane Gert. There will be tropical air in this, and

:21:01. > :21:08.warm air contains more moisture, so it will produce heavy rain. The

:21:09. > :21:12.winds will be strong on Sunday, as on Friday and Saturday, and many of

:21:13. > :21:13.us will start off on a bright and cheery note, especially central and

:21:14. > :21:21.eastern areas. The owner of DIY stores B

:21:22. > :21:24.Screwfix has said this morning Colletta's here with more on that,

:21:25. > :21:31.and the other big business stories. The parent company of being cute and

:21:32. > :21:37.screw fix saw their revenue fall by nearly 3% over the last few months.

:21:38. > :21:40.It was two very different stories at its main DIY brands though.

:21:41. > :21:42.Sales at B fell, but sales at Screwfix jumped by 11%.

:21:43. > :21:45.Argos is among 230 employers who have been told to pay

:21:46. > :21:51.compensation to workers who weren't paid the minimum wage.

:21:52. > :21:54.In total, 13,000 employees will get a total of ?200 million back.

:21:55. > :21:56.And Tesco has become the latest supermarket to trial electronic

:21:57. > :22:00.Everything on the digital displays, including the price,

:22:01. > :22:03.can be changed at the click of a button.

:22:04. > :22:05.I'll have more on what that all means for shoppers

:22:06. > :22:15.When we talk about housing, we don't tend to think about shelter

:22:16. > :22:19.for our small spikey neighbour - the hedgehog.

:22:20. > :22:21.Once a familiar sight in our gardens, in recent years

:22:22. > :22:32.But thousands of people are building or buying hedgehog homes

:22:33. > :22:40.Now a census has been launched to count how many

:22:41. > :22:42.there are and whether they do in fact help.

:22:43. > :22:49.Let's speak to Hugh Warwick from the campaign, Hedgehog Street.

:22:50. > :22:56.Good morning. Is this one of your houses? This is a commercially

:22:57. > :22:59.available hedgehog house, a lot of people can build them or make their

:23:00. > :23:03.own, but you can buy them too. What we have done with the hedgehog

:23:04. > :23:09.housing census is to try to find out now whether hedgehog houses are good

:23:10. > :23:13.for hedgehogs, how they are best cited in gardens, what the best

:23:14. > :23:19.materials are made of, or make them out of wood. If you construct or by

:23:20. > :23:23.one of these for your garden, do hedgehogs like a hedgehog house?

:23:24. > :23:27.This is one of the things we need to find out. I have had friends

:23:28. > :23:30.complain bitterly about the fact they have made a beautiful hedgehog

:23:31. > :23:34.home in their garden and come and found the hedgehog actually building

:23:35. > :23:38.a nest behind it, not actually using it at all, others are used very

:23:39. > :23:42.well. Hedgehog Street campaign, which we have been running with the

:23:43. > :23:46.People's trust for endangered species now since 2011, we base what

:23:47. > :23:50.we do on conservation science. So one of the things behind all this is

:23:51. > :23:54.relying on, calling on citizen scientists all over the country to

:23:55. > :23:57.come in, share their knowledge and experience with a very simple

:23:58. > :24:02.straightforward online survey, through the hedgehog census. Give us

:24:03. > :24:05.the information, then we can work out what is the best way we can

:24:06. > :24:09.advise other people to help hedgehogs in their garden. This is

:24:10. > :24:12.the first time I have seen a hedgehog house, especially a

:24:13. > :24:18.commercially available one. How popular are they? We don't really

:24:19. > :24:26.know. Thousands are being sold, I bought this from a DIY store,

:24:27. > :24:29.yesterday. They are easily doable. My garden is full of hedgehog

:24:30. > :24:34.friendly things already, didn't need one myself. But what we know is that

:24:35. > :24:37.44,000 people are signed up as hedgehog champions already through

:24:38. > :24:40.the Street campaign, and of those many thousands already have these

:24:41. > :24:44.things but beyond that we know that thousands of other people get given

:24:45. > :24:47.these things, because anybody who expresses a desire for a love of

:24:48. > :24:53.hedgehogs will be given hedgehog related stuff. I know that, having

:24:54. > :24:59.studied hedgehogs to 30 years and written two books about them, I have

:25:00. > :25:06.a lot of hedgehog stuff. I have log piles, piles of vegetation,

:25:07. > :25:10.brambles, if you want a need to garden, the things that the

:25:11. > :25:14.hedgehogs really need, have a think about their name, what does a

:25:15. > :25:19.hedgehog like best? Hedges. They hog the hedges, that is their favourite

:25:20. > :25:22.place. If you don't have that sort of place in your garden you try to

:25:23. > :25:27.recreate it with something else, so this provides the shelter for a

:25:28. > :25:31.hedgehog. It can't operate on its own. They make the most amazing

:25:32. > :25:35.elaborate bedding, especially when it comes to later on in the autumn

:25:36. > :25:39.and early winter, they create what is known as a high vernacular. They

:25:40. > :25:44.pull in Leeds when they hibernate, and they rotate their bodies around

:25:45. > :25:50.and around, creating this layered effect of all the leaves, using the

:25:51. > :25:56.spines as a comb to create it. You need vegetation, but you may want a

:25:57. > :26:00.tidy garden, in which case you can create the vegetation they need with

:26:01. > :26:04.a hedgehog house. This is all about growing the population of the UK's

:26:05. > :26:09.hedgehogs, because they are in decline. We talk about the stuff

:26:10. > :26:13.that is friendly, what is unfriendly in your garden? Oh, so much. At the

:26:14. > :26:19.moment we are looking try to halt the decline, not grow the

:26:20. > :26:21.population. It has declined in urban areas by around a quarter since the

:26:22. > :26:26.turn of the century and by over a half in rural areas. A massive

:26:27. > :26:30.problem being faced by hedgehogs. Your garden can be the most amazing

:26:31. > :26:36.wildlife friendly garden, but if it doesn't have a hole in the fence or

:26:37. > :26:45.the wall to let hedgehogs in, it will be useless for hedgehogs. Ponds

:26:46. > :26:48.are vital for wildlife in gardens, hedgehogs can swim, but not forever,

:26:49. > :26:54.so they need to be to get out. Netting around football nets.

:26:55. > :26:59.Hedgehogs will get caught up in nose and eye. There are whole bunch of

:27:00. > :27:04.problems hedgehogs face. If you do any work lifting up a drain in your

:27:05. > :27:13.garden, put the lid back on it. My father-in-law found a hedgehog dead

:27:14. > :27:17.in one of those. We run a training programme, a daylong intensive

:27:18. > :27:21.training programme for landscape managers about Hedgecock 's, and in

:27:22. > :30:55.the which are safe start thinking about hedgehogs. -- about hedgehogs.

:30:56. > :31:02.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Tina Daheley.

:31:03. > :31:06.Let's bring you up to date with the news.

:31:07. > :31:09.The first students to sit the new A Level exams

:31:10. > :31:10.in England are getting their results this morning.

:31:11. > :31:13.The changes include the removal of modules, AS levels no longer

:31:14. > :31:15.counting towards the final grade and students sitting

:31:16. > :31:19.The shake-up doesn't apply in Wales or Northern Ireland, where results

:31:30. > :31:32.Far too many older people are suffering in silence when things

:31:33. > :31:35.go wrong with their NHS care, according to the Parliamentary

:31:36. > :31:39.It says it's often their relatives who have to step in to complain,

:31:40. > :31:41.but even when they do, many don't believe it

:31:42. > :31:44.The Department of Health says when things go wrong,

:31:45. > :31:47.it's important to listen to the concerns of patients

:31:48. > :31:59.People in hospital a very distressed, they are worried. Those

:32:00. > :32:04.looking after them are concerned about their treatment. This is

:32:05. > :32:09.exactly the time that hospitals need to listen and respond to concerns,

:32:10. > :32:12.so that they don't become complaints. Practice in the NHS is

:32:13. > :32:17.not consistent in this way. The South Korean president has said

:32:18. > :32:20.he doesn't think the United States intends to use military force

:32:21. > :32:22.against North Korea, and if they do they must get

:32:23. > :32:24.Seoul's consent. Marking his first 100 days

:32:25. > :32:27.in office, President Moon Jae-in said he could 'guarantee'

:32:28. > :32:29.there wouldn't be another war on the Korean peninsula but said

:32:30. > :32:32.the leadership in Pyongyang Britain will look to keep visa-free

:32:33. > :32:36.travel to the UK for European visitors after Brexit,

:32:37. > :32:38.the BBC understands. The proposals could mean visitors

:32:39. > :32:41.from countries within the EU would only need to seek permission

:32:42. > :32:43.if they wanted to work, Firefighters in Glasgow

:32:44. > :33:00.are tackling a blaze in a market The fire broke out at the Blochairn

:33:18. > :33:20.quit over the way he handled Business leaders left

:33:21. > :33:23.the White House manufacturing council following Mr Trump's

:33:24. > :33:27.decision to blame left-wing protesters as much as right-wing

:33:28. > :33:31.supremacists for the violence Last night hundreds of people took

:33:38. > :33:40.Heather Heyer who died when a car ploughed into a group

:34:28. > :34:33.JK Rowling's to work is about a detective. We'll be speaking to one

:34:34. > :34:37.of the stars. If you are fed up finding out

:34:38. > :34:40.at the checkout that the price of goods on the shelf are wrong,

:34:41. > :34:43.then you'll want to hear about e-pricing, and what it could mean

:34:44. > :34:45.for the future of supermarkets. We'll peer through the

:34:46. > :34:47.windscreen and eavesdrop on conversations in

:34:48. > :34:50.the "taxi of Mum and Dad" - the documentary that

:34:51. > :34:51.looks at how parents and their children catch-up

:34:52. > :34:53.in the car. But first let's get

:34:54. > :35:01.the sport with John. Celtic put on a show last night with

:35:02. > :35:06.a really impressive win. They have one foot in the group stages

:35:07. > :35:10.already. After the success they had last season, going through all

:35:11. > :35:14.season unbeaten, it was an incredible achievement. This would

:35:15. > :35:18.be the real test, if and when they qualify for Europe, that will be the

:35:19. > :35:23.big test. Can they follow it up? Even more pressure. The first job is

:35:24. > :35:25.done. The Scottish champions

:35:26. > :35:30.were in control throughout, as Scott Sinclair scored twice

:35:31. > :35:36.to help put them three up. Before late goals from James Forrest

:35:37. > :35:38.and a deflected Leigh Griffiths strike made the scoreline

:35:39. > :35:39.even better. Everton have signed Gylfi Sigurdsson

:35:40. > :35:44.from Swansea City for a club record fee believed to be

:35:45. > :35:49.around ?45 million. The Iceland international has

:35:50. > :35:51.signed a five-year deal, he says he hopes to "create goals

:35:52. > :35:55.and score goals". Sigurdsson was an important player

:35:56. > :35:58.for Swansea last season, scoring nine times as he helped

:35:59. > :36:01.them avoid relegation. Scotland's Catriona Matthew has been

:36:02. > :36:04.called up to replace the injured Suzanne Pettersen as Europe

:36:05. > :36:07.prepare to take on the USA Matthew, who's 47, has played

:36:08. > :36:12.in nine Solheim Cups. Norwegian Pettersen has

:36:13. > :36:13.been receiving treatment England and Ireland can

:36:14. > :36:20.reach the semi-finals England, the defending

:36:21. > :36:24.champions, have made six changes for their match

:36:25. > :36:27.against USA in Dublin. Victory would guarantee them

:36:28. > :36:30.a place in the last four. The host nation Ireland

:36:31. > :36:32.know they have to beat Wales also play -

:36:33. > :36:38.but they can't progress. England's cricketers

:36:39. > :36:39.play their first day-night test this afternoon,

:36:40. > :36:43.against West Indies at Edgbaston. In a move designed to attract

:36:44. > :36:47.more fans to the game. The match will begin at 2 o'clock

:36:48. > :36:51.and will be played with a pink ball instead of a traditional red one

:36:52. > :36:53.because it shows up The West Indies team

:36:54. > :36:59.already has experience of playing a day-night test,

:37:00. > :37:02.but it'll be a step It's hard to think of Test cricket,

:37:03. > :37:12.playing it any differently to how We've managed to do

:37:13. > :37:17.that well and should Test cricket is not suffering

:37:18. > :37:30.in England, but in many territories around the world, the fans

:37:31. > :37:32.are slowly but surely decreasing. So I think this adds

:37:33. > :37:47.something to test cricket. As you can see, we have recreated

:37:48. > :37:52.the scene that awaits the Cricketers later. I guess it will get dark

:37:53. > :37:57.about 8:30 p:m.. As the floodlights come on this is the pink ball that

:37:58. > :38:05.is being used. In this darkness, you are home can decide if you can see

:38:06. > :38:13.it in the dark. I definitely see it. It shows up, doesn't it? This is

:38:14. > :38:18.what the players will be experiencing later when it is around

:38:19. > :38:23.nine o'clock. Ebony Rainsford-Brent

:38:24. > :38:30.is a former England cricketer. It is all about the pink ball but

:38:31. > :38:33.also about encouraging more people to watch the game for the people

:38:34. > :38:38.will be able to finish working and go and watch Test cricket, a first

:38:39. > :38:42.in this country. It has never happened before. Hearing today that

:38:43. > :38:46.70,000 people have already bought for the first three days. We are

:38:47. > :38:50.looking at sell-outs for the first three days for that that is exciting

:38:51. > :38:57.for West Indies team that may not be as attractive as Australia. With the

:38:58. > :39:00.pink ball, what is good, players say they conceded under the lights.

:39:01. > :39:04.Because you have two Dyna leather, it is slightly different to the red

:39:05. > :39:08.leather. That is affecting how the ball might behave everyone thinks in

:39:09. > :39:19.the first 20 overs it might swing around a lot more than usual. A lot

:39:20. > :39:26.of players them in the County championships. We don't know is the

:39:27. > :39:31.honest answer. We have heard a lot of talk on the town but no one knows

:39:32. > :39:34.how it will behave. If I were a cricketer tonight I would be having

:39:35. > :39:40.a sleepless night coming into it. You would be nervous. As a

:39:41. > :39:48.spectator, not make things even more interesting. No one knows. For the

:39:49. > :39:52.fan, it is really nice to build to come in after work and get the extra

:39:53. > :39:59.opportunity to watch a bit more Test cricket. We use the day 90s and the

:40:00. > :40:06.to 20s, cricket and the lights is a new one. This is a good practice for

:40:07. > :40:10.the England team. What happens in practice question that they start in

:40:11. > :40:16.the light. Do they stop? The lights come on and then they start again

:40:17. > :40:21.does it gradually change? Lights., they filter throughout the day. They

:40:22. > :40:24.will start filtering injury in the afternoon so you don't get a

:40:25. > :40:31.dramatic change in light of the ill be a nice filter through. You do not

:40:32. > :40:40.notice too much difference. You start to see shadows coming. How is

:40:41. > :40:46.it as a commentator? Wants your eyesight starts going, even blink a

:40:47. > :40:50.lot. Is this the future of cricket? Notice about attracting more

:40:51. > :40:54.numbers. We going to see more day/ night Test matches? You can we have

:40:55. > :40:59.had four around the world, most of them have been in Australia. I think

:41:00. > :41:04.we will. The way that viewers time, we'll have commitments. To be able

:41:05. > :41:07.to have five whole days of is a lock. If you can get Test cricket in

:41:08. > :41:13.in the evening, it might be something that happens. -- it is a

:41:14. > :41:22.lot. Chilly, English evening, it might be a bit different. I was

:41:23. > :41:25.reading in the paper that half the spectators going to my had never

:41:35. > :41:38.working. A different audience. The Chief Executive is saying the same

:41:39. > :41:43.sort of things, a different kind of crowd. That is what you want great

:41:44. > :41:49.new fans engaging in the game in a different way. I think this is a

:41:50. > :41:54.merger that might excite the audience. I guess you have to roll

:41:55. > :42:03.with the times. With the help of a pink ball and the flood lights.

:42:04. > :42:06.Shall we test your slip captures? You did not catch it. Next time.

:42:07. > :42:10.Lovely to see you. JK Rowling is no stranger

:42:11. > :42:12.to adapting her best-selling books for the big screen,

:42:13. > :42:15.and now the Harry Potter author is hoping to cast her magic

:42:16. > :42:17.on the small screen. The critically-acclaimed crime

:42:18. > :42:31.novel, 'The Cuckoo's Calling', was written under a pseudonym has

:42:32. > :42:39.been turned into a TV series. joined by actor Tom Burke,

:42:40. > :42:42.who plays the struggling detective Cormoran Strike,

:42:43. > :42:44.along with the show's executive But first, let's take

:42:45. > :43:09.a look at Tom in action. Sit down. I do OK? Yes, fine. Sorry

:43:10. > :43:16.about that. How can I help you? I am the new temp. I'm here for the week.

:43:17. > :43:32.No, I cancel that. Definitely. They are pretty strict on the fans. OK.

:43:33. > :43:50.-- on refunds. So, to want me to...? Yes, just... I will be in my office.

:43:51. > :43:56.A lot of people know you from the Musketeers, War And Peace. I thought

:43:57. > :44:02.I should do something modern day, otherwise people would think you

:44:03. > :44:06.live in times past. What we just touched on was it does, in the same

:44:07. > :44:13.way that looks kind of flirt with the genre of a private detective and

:44:14. > :44:18.all the associations of that, I think we managed to get a look in

:44:19. > :44:26.this show that harks back to the odd bit of Philip Marlowe... Even should

:44:27. > :44:31.maybe explain a little bit about the books, the series. You are a

:44:32. > :44:38.classic, slightly flawed character detective. Struggling financially.

:44:39. > :44:47.He has eventually got to the end of a very bad break-up. Yes. Everything

:44:48. > :44:54.is looking rather bleak at the beginning. First of all, in walks

:44:55. > :44:59.Robin, who is an antithesis to everything else in his world.

:45:00. > :45:05.Immediately a case comes along. He does not know if there is anything

:45:06. > :45:11.in. As it picks up speed and gains momentum, it ends up ringing him and

:45:12. > :45:16.Robin into a far closer kind of relationship and also makes some

:45:17. > :45:19.cash. A lot of people will be very interested in the series because of

:45:20. > :45:25.the input of JK Rowling was she created the characters. How involved

:45:26. > :45:30.has she been in the making of it? Pretty involved, considering she is

:45:31. > :45:36.a really busy woman. She read all the scripts and gave us notes. She

:45:37. > :45:42.came to all the read-through 's. She came to visit as onset. Also, she

:45:43. > :45:49.was involved in the casting decisions for the Leeds and she was

:45:50. > :45:55.very involved in postproduction. She came to see each episode, signed off

:45:56. > :46:01.that she was happy with it all. That is great. Whether moments when it

:46:02. > :46:06.was a bit difficult? I'm sure she is easy to deal with that, you're

:46:07. > :46:12.trying to make a TV show. To her guidance, is that sometimes

:46:13. > :46:19.difficult question that she knew her place. She understood that adapting

:46:20. > :46:23.a book forces us to make changes. We had to lose some characters and

:46:24. > :46:31.change some of the plots little bit to make them work. She was just...

:46:32. > :46:35.She totally was always very positive and has empowered people to get on

:46:36. > :46:43.with their jobs. But she knows the books really well. JK Rowling has

:46:44. > :46:48.always figured out things in the story way ahead of the rest of us,

:46:49. > :46:52.so she probably knows what will happen to the characters in the book

:46:53. > :46:56.further down the line first is really important to that input in

:46:57. > :46:58.terms of making the show. We don't know what will happen in the future.

:46:59. > :47:12.That was really helpful. Does it add another layer of

:47:13. > :47:16.pressure? Adapting a JK Rowling novel, adaptations of her previous

:47:17. > :47:21.books have then successful. Of course it is a pressure, the books

:47:22. > :47:25.are really successful, they have a strong fan base and when you are at

:47:26. > :47:32.that in books, you know, you can almost hear the tweets as the show

:47:33. > :47:36.goes out, people get... My favourite moment in the book, yes there is a

:47:37. > :47:40.pressure but in the end you have to go with your heart and instinct and

:47:41. > :47:44.you know, make the best show you can possibly make. I know Tom, people

:47:45. > :47:48.asked these questions, he is dishevelled, chaotic, he is this

:47:49. > :47:55.complete mess, is there any of that in you? Is it something you found

:47:56. > :48:03.easy to recreate? I think my parents would probably agree with that! I'm

:48:04. > :48:09.developing my own style of organisation gradually as the

:48:10. > :48:13.decades go by! It's partly to do with the exact place he is in at the

:48:14. > :48:23.beginning of the first book but also, there is a constant swaying

:48:24. > :48:27.between discipline and the discipline of having been

:48:28. > :48:32.ex-military and a sort of like of self-care to do with everything that

:48:33. > :48:38.is going on emotionally. And when it comes to food as well, your eating

:48:39. > :48:41.habits are really bad. I mean some would say its good storage but it's

:48:42. > :48:49.definitely comfort food, which is interesting. Can we see another

:48:50. > :48:51.clip? No, we don't have that, sorry, it's my mistake. Have you always

:48:52. > :48:58.been fascinated by the idea of detect this? There is something

:48:59. > :49:01.about the private investigator that immediately creates interest,

:49:02. > :49:05.doesn't it? These characters, everyone has their favourite over

:49:06. > :49:11.the years, do you have a favourite character either from fiction or

:49:12. > :49:18.television? Yes, I would say it's kind of, absolutely, a draw between

:49:19. > :49:25.Colombo and I have always been a big fan of Joan Hickson's Miss Marple.

:49:26. > :49:27.For me, it was Jim Rockford in the Rockford files, he lived in a

:49:28. > :49:34.caravan, chaotic, something appealing about that. I love Colombo

:49:35. > :49:40.as well. I think it's time we have a new detective, its contemporary, but

:49:41. > :49:47.it feels retro. Yes, yes. I don't think I managed to get any of Miss

:49:48. > :49:48.Marple in there but there is a bit of Colombo, I have been told. Thank

:49:49. > :49:51.you both so much. Strike: The Cuckoo's Calling

:49:52. > :49:54.will be on BBC 1 on Sunday Here's Carol with a look

:49:55. > :50:11.at this morning's weather. Good morning. Mixed pictures this

:50:12. > :50:16.morning, beautiful images sent in. Rain crossing us during the night,

:50:17. > :50:20.moving from west to east, some of its thundery, continuing its journey

:50:21. > :50:25.into the North Sea but behind it, already, the sunshine is out.

:50:26. > :50:31.Sunshine for many of us, for many a dry start stop as the rain moves

:50:32. > :50:35.away, we are left with cloud of the cloud will break up and through the

:50:36. > :50:40.day, we are looking at a mixture of sunshine and showers. Quite a breezy

:50:41. > :50:43.day. That is the combination across Northern Ireland and Scotland,

:50:44. > :50:48.bright spells, sunshine and showers, parts of eastern and southern

:50:49. > :50:54.Scotland will miss it all together and have a dry day. The same for

:50:55. > :50:58.Northern England, we could miss most of the showers, have a dry day but

:50:59. > :51:02.going south, more likely to see showers across the Home Counties.

:51:03. > :51:09.East Anglia, you might catch one or two and catch one or two of those in

:51:10. > :51:15.London. Temperatures reaching a maximum of 25. Heading back towards

:51:16. > :51:21.Dorset and Somerset, the chance of showers, not all of us will, some

:51:22. > :51:26.popping up across Wales. The daytime show is tending to fade through the

:51:27. > :51:30.evening, pleasant evening for many, denied further showers developing,

:51:31. > :51:32.coming in from the west across Northern Ireland, some of them

:51:33. > :51:40.merging, moving across Scotland and northern England. Temperatures

:51:41. > :51:44.between 12 and 15. A little bit lower in the countryside. Tomorrow,

:51:45. > :51:49.starting with showery outbreaks, heading north-east, a lot of dry

:51:50. > :51:53.weather, fair bit of sunshine, some showers and heavier showers moving

:51:54. > :51:57.across Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, through southern Scotland and

:51:58. > :52:02.northern England. Tomorrow, one thing you will notice, going to be

:52:03. > :52:05.quite windy, gusty winds even inland, taking the edge off the

:52:06. > :52:12.temperatures which are lower than today. For its Saturday, a lot of

:52:13. > :52:16.dry weather, still breezy, still some showers here and there, lots of

:52:17. > :52:20.outdoor events taking place, the further south you travel, the better

:52:21. > :52:25.chance of staying dry. Something coming our way behind me, an area of

:52:26. > :52:32.low pressure, absorbed within this his former hurricane Kurt. The

:52:33. > :52:37.relevance to us by this is that it's going to have some tropical are

:52:38. > :52:41.hidden among state, Warren are holding more moisture, we will see

:52:42. > :52:47.some heavy rain. The wind strength will actually be stronger across the

:52:48. > :52:51.UK during Friday and Saturday. Taking a quick look at Sunday, for

:52:52. > :52:56.most of us, a dry and bright start, through the course of the day some

:52:57. > :52:59.rain coming in from the West. The exact positioning of the ring could

:53:00. > :53:04.change, it will be heavy at times, overnight Sunday in to Monday,

:53:05. > :53:11.crosses the UK and heads off into the North Sea. Come on, Carol, take

:53:12. > :53:18.the clock back, 10-15 years when you got your A-level results, what were

:53:19. > :53:25.they like? 10-15 years? I think it was a grade B -- I think it was PC.

:53:26. > :53:29.It was nerve wracking, opening the envelope, it was higher as I got,

:53:30. > :53:34.being in Scotland, rather than A-levels, but it was fine!

:53:35. > :53:38.Thankfully. You are -- you are being a bit cagey, did you get what you

:53:39. > :53:44.wanted? How do you expect me to remember that, it was about 100

:53:45. > :53:49.years ago, yes I did, and I done to further education, was very lucky.

:53:50. > :53:52.Well done. Thank you. I thought you are going to ask her about the

:53:53. > :53:56.weather and the storms! That kept you awake.

:53:57. > :53:58.It's a big day for students across England, Wales

:54:49. > :54:50.sort of lessons where they just teach you how to get

:54:51. > :54:59.In London comprehensive schools, that just isn't really available.

:55:00. > :55:02.Cambridge says one in five of its students is now from a black

:55:05. > :55:11.But this week researchers at Bath University say many BME

:55:40. > :55:41.On a social level and maybe on a cultural level someone

:55:42. > :55:44.like myself - you are in a totally different place, meaning

:55:45. > :55:47.there aren't as many people who are like you within Cambridge,

:55:48. > :55:51.rather than perhaps those that are like you at home.

:55:52. > :55:54.If you don't feel that the people you go to the university,

:56:21. > :56:23.People are making incremental changes.

:56:24. > :56:28.Therefore we need to make a much more significant change.

:56:29. > :56:31.I don't want to hear lipservice, I want to see actual action.

:56:32. > :56:35.Universities working closely with schools is just one way

:56:36. > :56:37.to improve access - another is using mentors who have

:56:46. > :56:49.in expectations of teachers in terms of courses that they might not

:56:50. > :56:53.necessarily want to do but that is all they know about.

:57:26. > :57:28.what it means for shoppers. Yes that's right Tesco is the latest

:57:29. > :57:31.supermarket to trial this system It follows similar trials

:57:32. > :57:35.in Waitrose and Morrisons. Everything on the digital displays,

:57:36. > :57:37.including the product details and the price,

:57:38. > :57:39.can be changed at That not only saves time -

:57:40. > :57:45.and fingernails changing all those paper labels,

:57:46. > :57:48.but it means the price at the tills is more likely to match

:57:49. > :57:52.the one on the shelf. But it also opens up the possibility

:57:53. > :57:56.of "dynamic pricing" - where prices can change based

:57:57. > :58:00.on demand, although Tesco says this is not part

:58:01. > :58:03.of the trail at this stage. Retail Analyst Catherine

:58:04. > :58:09.Shuttleworth from Savvy Marketing has been keeping her eye

:58:10. > :58:22.on the developments - This is pretty costly to introduce,

:58:23. > :58:27.those little LED displays across all the shelves in a supermarket. It

:58:28. > :58:32.will be a huge investment for Tesco. What will be in it for them? They

:58:33. > :58:36.are trialling it to see if it makes their operations with, the

:58:37. > :58:40.electronic bar codes might make things smoother, and that is why

:58:41. > :58:45.they are looking at it, to see if they can make it work, physically

:58:46. > :58:48.for showers as well. There is the possibility, Tesco said they are not

:58:49. > :58:52.doing it at the moment, potentially further down the line, they could

:58:53. > :58:56.introduce the idea of dynamic pricing, charging more at lunchtime

:58:57. > :59:02.and tea-time when people are buying more of a product. One of the things

:59:03. > :59:06.that electronic equipment can do is let you alter prices, I think it's

:59:07. > :59:10.unlikely that Tesco will introduce that into the UK, they've worked

:59:11. > :59:13.very hard over the last few years to get customer trust back and one of

:59:14. > :59:17.the things that drives trust is prices and we want to pay the same

:59:18. > :59:21.price as the next person for goods, we don't want to take let's say a

:59:22. > :59:25.little bit more because we get up later and we had to take the kids to

:59:26. > :59:30.school, perhaps you haven't and you've been able to go at for a M

:59:31. > :59:34.shopping. We don't want to do that and we are searching for clarity in

:59:35. > :59:39.pricing, that's why we have seen the growth of a discount channel and

:59:40. > :59:42.pound shops. I think it's unlikely Tesco will want to do this because

:59:43. > :59:47.of a happy future impact on customer trust and it's quite difficult to do

:59:48. > :59:51.in a shop, it's easy to do online. Online, we're used to it, whether

:59:52. > :59:55.it's buying flights or anything else, the time -- the price changes

:59:56. > :00:00.depending on the time. And we don't like it, we'd look at this model

:00:01. > :00:04.prices like Hooper, we don't want to pay extra money for holidays when

:00:05. > :00:10.the children break-up. We get frustrated about that as consumers.

:00:11. > :00:13.But look at other retailers like Amazon and jet in America, they do

:00:14. > :00:17.this all the time, change prices constantly as people are looking at

:00:18. > :00:21.Roberts and I think online, this dynamic rising is likely to grow for

:00:22. > :00:25.us in store in the UK that's not going to be attractive to showers.

:00:26. > :00:26.Catherine, thank you. Let's hope you are right and we are not charged

:00:27. > :00:37.more for lunch. If you wanted to escape all the

:05:33. > :05:39.I'll be back with the lunchtime news at half past one.

:05:40. > :05:48.Transporting teenagers around in the family car can be a thorn

:05:49. > :05:52.But is it the best place to have a proper conversation

:05:53. > :05:55.To find out, a documentary has peered through the windscreen

:05:56. > :05:58.and eavesdropped on catch-ups between parents and their children

:05:59. > :06:26.Mum Charlotte and 16-year-old Ben are from market Harborough. You need

:06:27. > :06:32.to go to some gay bars and meet people. I have never been to a gay

:06:33. > :06:40.bar. Shall we go to a gay bar? Why would I take my mum to a gay bar? I

:06:41. > :06:55.can be nice. My age group and a mate setting someone up. I set flow up.

:06:56. > :07:04.You are not setting me up. I am on Tinder. I had it for a week. Did you

:07:05. > :07:05.get matches? I've got 106 in the first 24 hours. Don't want to blow

:07:06. > :07:09.my own trumpet. Ben and his mum Charlotte

:07:10. > :07:22.who were in that clip join us now. Such a simple idea. Putting a camera

:07:23. > :07:28.in a car. I was sat on my day off in December and I was like, I am a bit

:07:29. > :07:32.bored, I am going to see what TV programme them is to sign up to four

:07:33. > :07:42.that it was observed when I saw. I signed up to it. -- signed up to it.

:07:43. > :07:46.To big Slater they got back to us and said they loved it. We got the

:07:47. > :07:53.train to London and signed the contract. What about you, Charlotte?

:07:54. > :07:59.Unbelievably it has turned out perfectly. I have four children and

:08:00. > :08:03.that is where I talk to them, in the car. If I want to get one on their

:08:04. > :08:09.own, they will be in the car and that is where I get them. This has

:08:10. > :08:13.been going on for a while? It has been going on forever. I never

:08:14. > :08:18.really thought about it until the concept of the show was put to me. I

:08:19. > :08:24.think it is brilliant. How conscious where you of the cameras being

:08:25. > :08:27.there? For the first two or three journeys, we felt a bit awkward with

:08:28. > :08:32.the cameras will stop then we got used to it and we did not really see

:08:33. > :08:38.them, did we? The worst part was when I was at a traffic light and my

:08:39. > :08:43.mum came over, led in the car window and went on for about ten minutes

:08:44. > :08:49.about the making of a wreath. I have just got to go. For us, it has been

:08:50. > :09:00.a fantastic experience. Just explain the mechanics of it... On the front

:09:01. > :09:03.windscreen we had the camera facing the two seats in the front and three

:09:04. > :09:05.in the back. One facing the person in the passenger seat and one in the

:09:06. > :09:12.back seats facing the three. That is when we had people in the file back,

:09:13. > :09:17.we put a camera on the headrest. Presumably lots of the stuff is

:09:18. > :09:20.inconsequential. In amongst some significant conversations came

:09:21. > :09:26.about. We'll get a sense of that now. I am so glad at 16 you have

:09:27. > :09:30.found you and you are you and now I can't wait for you to just take on

:09:31. > :09:38.your life and just have a partner with no feeling that it's an issue.

:09:39. > :09:46.It isn't. You are actually making me cry. Let's pull over for a massive

:09:47. > :09:51.hug. I'm so proud of you. I love you.

:09:52. > :10:02.How does it feel watching that? It was so unplanned. The programme for

:10:03. > :10:07.us, we have opened up so much to each other. I have always known that

:10:08. > :10:12.Ben is gay but it is incredibly hard for a teenager to vocalise that.

:10:13. > :10:17.Before the show came out, then localised it to us all, which is a

:10:18. > :10:22.huge thing for him to acknowledge that and get it out there to

:10:23. > :10:26.everyone, so he could be him. We have never had that depth of

:10:27. > :10:31.conversation because he chose not to. It was totally unplanned. We

:10:32. > :10:37.were out driving and that happened. We were blown away by it as well.

:10:38. > :10:42.That is the first time that Ben was telling me about his innermost

:10:43. > :10:51.feelings. It hurt me because Ben was hurting. When your child hurts right

:10:52. > :10:58.you hurt. You obviously knew this was being recorded. You knew that.

:10:59. > :11:01.By that point, had you forgotten? During the conversation, I did not

:11:02. > :11:06.realise they were there. If I remembered they were there, I never

:11:07. > :11:12.cried. They were irrelevant. It was purely me and mum in the car and not

:11:13. > :11:17.the cameras. How do you feel now that the show is going out tonight

:11:18. > :11:22.question have you seen it back? The producers came and a few weeks ago

:11:23. > :11:26.and we watched it. Our actual conversation was 40 minutes long.

:11:27. > :11:31.Three minutes of that is in the show. There was a lot more to it. I

:11:32. > :11:37.don't really know how I feel about it. It is very personal and intimate

:11:38. > :11:42.conversations happening between both of you. Now your friends, families,

:11:43. > :11:48.people you go to school with, as well as everyone else, they can now

:11:49. > :11:53.see. I am pleased. I hope other people watch that and realise just

:11:54. > :11:59.to say it and be yourself. A couple of people have mentioned. Maybe it

:12:00. > :12:03.is true of you as well. You, as the driver, is doing something. It is

:12:04. > :12:08.not like you are grilling Ben. You are not constantly asking him

:12:09. > :12:16.questions. Almost that helps things come forward more. It does. You are

:12:17. > :12:19.looking straight ahead you can touch on any subject when you are looking

:12:20. > :12:24.straight ahead with a teenager. I have done with all of my children.

:12:25. > :12:29.It is really nice to see how supportive all of your siblings were

:12:30. > :12:35.as well. We are a great team. Then post Maxi do is, Amelia, Bolivia,

:12:36. > :12:41.Max, we love Benford then and we all want him to be happy. Now he is. I

:12:42. > :12:45.could not ask for any more. Many will be going on a journey now,

:12:46. > :12:48.setting off, probably doing the same as you have been doing for years

:12:49. > :12:52.could just listening and trying to learn a little bit more about their

:12:53. > :12:59.families. It is fascinating, isn't it? I hope people really enjoy it.

:13:00. > :13:06.What an experience we have had! It has been fantastic. Thank you for

:13:07. > :13:07.signing is up. Have an interesting conversation on the way home in the

:13:08. > :13:10.taxi. Taxi of Mum and Dad

:13:11. > :13:17.is on Channel 4 tonight at 9. I watched it yesterday. Definitely

:13:18. > :13:29.worth watching. Accommodation can be good and they can be bad as well.

:13:30. > :13:30.We'll be back here on BBC 1 with Louise from 6 tomorrow morning.
