:00:09. > :00:10.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Steph McGovern.
:00:11. > :00:13.Tougher sentences for people who commit hate crimes online.
:00:14. > :00:16.New guidelines mean abuse on social media sites will now be treated
:00:17. > :00:34.as seriously as offences committed in person.
:00:35. > :00:43.Good morning, it is Monday 21 August.
:00:44. > :01:06.Second accident involving the US Navy into Mac months. -- the second
:01:07. > :01:09.accident involving the US Navy in two months.
:01:10. > :01:11.We have the chimes of Big Ben live this
:01:12. > :01:13.morning, before the clock falls silent at midday.
:01:14. > :01:18.The chimes, and the clock, could be switched off for up to four
:01:19. > :01:25.The weather here in London is rather damp. It will be cloudy, but it will
:01:26. > :01:29.not be cold. For the rest of us, rain moving northwards. The best of
:01:30. > :01:31.the sunshine in the north and east. More in 15 minutes.
:01:32. > :01:34.Also this morning: Why police forces are asking more motorists to share
:01:35. > :01:40.footage of bad driving captured on dash-cams.
:01:41. > :01:42.In sport: Mo Farah signs off in style.
:01:43. > :01:46.In his final track race in the UK, the four-time Olympic champion eases
:01:47. > :01:48.to victory in the 3,000m in Birmingham.
:01:49. > :01:56.And Sean is on a campsite in north Wales for us.
:01:57. > :02:03.He is not on holiday. Good morning. Good morning. No, I am not on
:02:04. > :02:06.holiday. I am looking at why there are booming sales and bees.
:02:07. > :02:09.Motorhomes and caravans, I am at this well lit campsite in north
:02:10. > :02:11.Wales to find out why. First, our main story: Hate crimes
:02:12. > :02:16.committed online should be pursued as seriously as offences
:02:17. > :02:17.carried out face-to-face, according to new guidelines for
:02:18. > :02:20.prosecutors in England and Wales. The Crown Prosecution Service says
:02:21. > :02:23.it will seek tougher penalties for abuse on social media,
:02:24. > :02:26.which it says could lead to the type of extremist hate seen
:02:27. > :02:29.in Charlottesville in the US. Rhodri Philipps, the fourth
:02:30. > :02:43.Viscount St Davids, jailed last month for racially
:02:44. > :02:45.aggravated threats on Facebook against Gina Miller,
:02:46. > :02:46.the businesswoman behind She said she felt violated
:02:47. > :02:50.by his shocking comments, just one of many online
:02:51. > :02:55.attacks she suffered. Now, the Crown Prosecution Service
:02:56. > :02:58.says these kinds of crimes must be dealt with as robustly
:02:59. > :03:03.as offences on the street. It is promising a tougher response,
:03:04. > :03:05.to build public confidence. There were more than 15,000
:03:06. > :03:07.hate-crime prosecutions in 2015-2016, the
:03:08. > :03:12.highest number ever. And a third of those convicted
:03:13. > :03:18.saw their sentence increased. But the number of cases referred
:03:19. > :03:21.to police by persecutors fell by almost 10%, a drop the CPS says
:03:22. > :03:31.it is investigating. With the explosion in the use of
:03:32. > :03:35.social media over the last few years, it is very important that the
:03:36. > :03:40.prosecuting authorities, the CPS, the police, are as up-to-date as
:03:41. > :03:46.possible in making sure that they are using the law to its fullest
:03:47. > :03:50.extent. There is no hiding place for these perpetrators. The law is
:03:51. > :03:52.clear, and if you persist in these sorts of behaviour, you will be
:03:53. > :04:00.detected, caught and punished. Some critics say the police
:04:01. > :04:03.and prosecutors moved too slowly and that means people
:04:04. > :04:06.are reluctant to come forward. But the CPS hopes its new guidance
:04:07. > :04:10.will create the best possible chance of achieving justice
:04:11. > :04:12.for all victims. Spanish police are exploring
:04:13. > :04:15.a possible link between Thursday's attacks in Spain and assaults
:04:16. > :04:18.by so-called Islamic State Authorities believe the iman,
:04:19. > :04:21.Abdelbaki Es Satty, may have radicalised younger members
:04:22. > :04:24.of the cell which carried out the Las Ramblas and
:04:25. > :04:25.Cambrils atrocities. They are also investigating
:04:26. > :04:27.whether he was involved in the bombings at Brussels airport
:04:28. > :04:31.and a metro station in the city, Our Europe correspondent
:04:32. > :04:34.Gavin Lee is in Barcelona. What more do we know about the imam,
:04:35. > :04:57.Abdelbaki Es Satty? There is a man-hunt is still
:04:58. > :05:05.happening, isn't that? Yes, to bring you where we are now, so we have a
:05:06. > :05:10.man-hunt for one person. This is a 24-year-old Moroccan. Police say
:05:11. > :05:16.they are still looking for him. He may have gone to France. They have
:05:17. > :05:20.increased border controls but they say they have identified the driver,
:05:21. > :05:23.and they have not yet confirmed that this is the driver. What we are
:05:24. > :05:27.getting a clearer picture on is the potential organiser, the ringleader
:05:28. > :05:32.in all of this, this is Abdelbaki Es Satty. This is someone who is
:05:33. > :05:37.believed to have accidentally killed himself in an explosion in a day
:05:38. > :05:41.before the attacks on Thursday, when he was trying to prepare bomb
:05:42. > :05:45.material. Reports here in Spain are saying that he might have spent time
:05:46. > :05:51.in Welsh around the time of the Brussels attacks. The Belgian man at
:05:52. > :05:56.is telling newspapers and his neighbour is telling our team where
:05:57. > :06:02.he used to live here in Spain, that he potentially was somebody who was
:06:03. > :06:05.radicalising that group. That seems to be where the investigation is
:06:06. > :06:07.centred, but the man-hunt is still continuing.
:06:08. > :06:10.We will be hearing from two Brits who were in Barcelona and witnessed
:06:11. > :06:15.The US navy says ten of its sailors are missing and five have been
:06:16. > :06:18.injured after one of its warships collided with an oil tanker off
:06:19. > :06:22.It is the second serious collision involving an American warship
:06:23. > :06:37.Our correspondent joins us from Singapore. Hello to you. Thank you
:06:38. > :06:41.for coming on the programme this morning. What is the latest we know?
:06:42. > :06:45.Well, the latest information we have received from the US Navy's public
:06:46. > :06:48.affairs department is that ten American sailors are still missing
:06:49. > :06:53.as a result of the collision that took place earlier this morning, in
:06:54. > :06:57.the early hours of Monday morning. Five were injured, but four of those
:06:58. > :07:01.five sailors had been evacuated via Singaporean helicopter to a hospital
:07:02. > :07:06.in Singapore, with nonlifethreatening injuries. That is
:07:07. > :07:09.what the US Navy is calling those injuries, and the other sailor does
:07:10. > :07:14.not need any further medical attention, according to the US Navy.
:07:15. > :07:17.Now, from what we have been told by the public affairs department,
:07:18. > :07:23.earlier this morning there was a collision between the US warship the
:07:24. > :07:28.John S McCain, and a commercial oil and chemical tanker, a Liberian
:07:29. > :07:32.flagged oil tanker, substantially larger than this American warship.
:07:33. > :07:40.And this collision took place off the coast of Singapore in the
:07:41. > :07:40.Straits of Malacca, a very congested waterway.
:07:41. > :07:42.Military exercises by South Korean and American armed forces
:07:43. > :07:45.are going ahead, despite protests from the North.
:07:46. > :07:48.The drills are conducted every year to prepare for an attack
:07:49. > :07:51.The latest come amid heightened tensions, following an exchange
:07:52. > :07:56.of threats between Pyongyang and Washington.
:07:57. > :07:59.Motorists in Wales will be asked to pass footage captured
:08:00. > :08:02.on dash-cams to police, in an effort to clamp down
:08:03. > :08:06.A pilot scheme in north Wales has seen action taken against more
:08:07. > :08:09.than 100 drivers over the past year, after they were filmed
:08:10. > :08:26.With resources, we cannot be everywhere for everyone, and it
:08:27. > :08:29.gives us an extra set of eyes on the road, 24/7, recording what is
:08:30. > :08:41.footage that can be used in court. We will be speaking to an inspector
:08:42. > :08:44.later in the morning. It is really scary stuff.
:08:45. > :08:46.Big Ben will fall silent this lunchtime, and won't sound
:08:47. > :08:51.It is part of a major refurbishment of the Houses of Parliament,
:08:52. > :08:54.which could see the bells muted for longest period in their history.
:08:55. > :09:07.Since 1859, Big Ben has chimed through the reign of six monarchs
:09:08. > :09:13.and two World Wars, with only a handful of interruptions.
:09:14. > :09:16.However, Parliament says the bell now needs to be disconnected
:09:17. > :09:18.for the safety of construction workers
:09:19. > :09:25.But the plan to silence Big Ben has caused, well,
:09:26. > :09:31.there has been a backlash from the public and politicians.
:09:32. > :09:35.The Prime Minister, Theresa May, says she has asked the Speaker
:09:36. > :09:38.of the Commons to look into the matter urgently,
:09:39. > :09:39.to see whether Big Ben could
:09:40. > :09:44.For now, Big Ben is due to be silenced until 2021,
:09:45. > :09:46.except for special occasions, such as New Year's Eve
:09:47. > :09:52.People are invited to gather in Parliament Square to hear
:09:53. > :09:55.the final bongs at noon, before the Great Bell is taken
:09:56. > :10:09.And we will have the weather from Carol.
:10:10. > :10:10.One of Hollywood's most successful comedians,
:10:11. > :10:13.Jerry Lewis, has died at the age of 91.
:10:14. > :10:17.He found fame in the 1950s as one half of a double act with Dean
:10:18. > :10:30.Jerry Lewis's goofy comedies made him the world's
:10:31. > :10:34.With their visual gags, the cartoon-like nature of his films
:10:35. > :10:39.I wrote the joke thinking, wouldn't it be marvellous
:10:40. > :10:43.if the elastic face that we have, that can do so much,
:10:44. > :10:51.wouldn't it be marvellous if our bodies were elastic?
:10:52. > :10:54.He was born Joseph Levitch, in 1926, into a family of Jewish entertainers
:10:55. > :11:00.Following his stage debut at the age of five, he went on to play to great
:11:01. > :11:01.acclaim to audiences throughout New York.
:11:02. > :11:04.Aged just 20, he teamed up with Dean Martin.
:11:05. > :11:12.Their combination of sophistication and slapstick brought a decade
:11:13. > :11:18.of success, during which they starred together in 16 films.
:11:19. > :11:22.This weekend would be a perfect time for you to come out to the house,
:11:23. > :11:26.He thrilled as a talk show host stalked by Robert De Niro
:11:27. > :11:32.The French, who considered him a genius, awarded him
:11:33. > :11:38.But it will be his manic comedy performances for which Jerry Lewis
:11:39. > :11:56.I used to watch all his films. Good memories there.
:11:57. > :12:04.And Mo Farah went out in style, didn't he? And what do you want to
:12:05. > :12:08.see from his last race? That is the obvious one, but what I really love
:12:09. > :12:09.is the sprint at the end. You know it is coming, and it didn't
:12:10. > :12:10.disappoint fans yesterday. Mo Farah, Britain's most successful
:12:11. > :12:12.middle-distance runner, has run his last
:12:13. > :12:15.track race in the UK. The four-time Olympic champion
:12:16. > :12:17.produced his trademark sprint finish, delighting home fans
:12:18. > :12:19.as he won the 3,000m In their first home match
:12:20. > :12:30.in the Premier League at the national stadium,
:12:31. > :12:32.they lost 2-1 to Chelsea. Spurs have won only two of the 11
:12:33. > :12:37.games they have played at Wembley Newly promoted Huddersfield Town
:12:38. > :12:43.continued their dream start to the season with a 1-0
:12:44. > :12:46.win over Newcastle. Manager David Wagner says the team
:12:47. > :12:49.have surpassed his expectations, And Great Britain won
:12:50. > :12:55.the team gold medal at the European Eventing
:12:56. > :12:57.Championships, in Poland. Nicola Wilson also took
:12:58. > :13:14.individual bronze. I should have known, shouldn't I,
:13:15. > :13:20.that it would be the Mo-Bot. I should have said to see him win, but
:13:21. > :13:29.you always know that involves... No, no. You are right! And Carol is
:13:30. > :13:38.getting the fulfil the last bongs that we will here from Big Ben.
:13:39. > :13:43.Today will potentially be the last time we hear those bongs for about
:13:44. > :13:47.four years. They will be switched off for some repair work and you can
:13:48. > :13:50.see Big Ben behind me, looking rather resplendent this morning
:13:51. > :13:56.despite the fact that it is cloudy and wet, and the kind of work which
:13:57. > :14:02.is being done on it is going to have some new elements installed for the
:14:03. > :14:05.first time. And it is basically essential maintenance work being
:14:06. > :14:09.carried out to make it much more energy efficient. I will tell you
:14:10. > :14:13.lots more about it as we go through the course of the morning but the
:14:14. > :14:17.umbrellas are up. It is a wet start to the day in London, and it also
:14:18. > :14:21.was rather cloudy. But it certainly is not cold. What we have is a band
:14:22. > :14:25.of rain cloud drifting northwards through the course of today. It will
:14:26. > :14:29.turn heavier across Scotland and Northern Ireland later on in the
:14:30. > :14:33.day. But this morning you can see where we have got the band of rain
:14:34. > :14:36.extending from parts of south Wales in towards the south-west of
:14:37. > :14:40.England, heading over towards London. Murky conditions with it as
:14:41. > :14:43.well, but to the north that the cloud will continue to build. The
:14:44. > :14:47.best of the sunshine today is actually going to be across eastern
:14:48. > :14:51.parts of England and also eastern and north-eastern Scotland. But
:14:52. > :14:55.through the day, as the rain advances northwards, eventually by
:14:56. > :14:58.about 4pm we will be seeing it across Argyll Bute, in the
:14:59. > :15:02.Galloway, the cloud building ahead of it but still the far north-east
:15:03. > :15:05.hanging on to the sunshine. Moving in the north-east England, you will
:15:06. > :15:09.see the rain through the afternoon and north-east England seeing
:15:10. > :15:13.something much drier. Then as we can south into the Midlands, into East
:15:14. > :15:17.Anglia and the south-east, there will still be a lot of cloud around.
:15:18. > :15:21.Some of us still having some drizzle on and off. But for example the east
:15:22. > :15:25.coast of East Anglia could see some sunshine. Southern counties of
:15:26. > :15:28.England, mixed fortunes. As we move towards Hampshire, there is more
:15:29. > :15:32.cloud but from Hampshire towards the Isles of Scilly it will be a bright
:15:33. > :15:35.afternoon with some of us seeing some sunshine, especially close to
:15:36. > :15:39.the coast. That is the same for Wales. The rest of Wales, fairly
:15:40. > :15:44.cloudy and quite murky, the rain in the north and the rain also
:15:45. > :15:48.extending into Northern Ireland. Now, through the evening and
:15:49. > :15:50.overnight that whole band of rain continues its journey, moving
:15:51. > :15:53.through Northern Ireland, moving through northern England, and then
:15:54. > :15:59.moving across most of Scotland. Behind it, a lot of cloud. Again
:16:00. > :16:03.some patchy mist and fog, some sea fog and it is going to be a humid
:16:04. > :16:07.night tonight. Temperatures in some parts of the UK, like this morning,
:16:08. > :16:10.not to be closer than 16 or 17 Celsius. Tomorrow we start off with
:16:11. > :16:15.that rain advancing northwards across Scotland. After a foggy,
:16:16. > :16:19.murky, cloudy start, for much of England and Wales it will brighten
:16:20. > :16:22.up, with some sunshine. However, we have got showery outbreaks of rain
:16:23. > :16:25.coming in across the south-west, moving north. That will become more
:16:26. > :16:28.organised across Northern Ireland and western Scotland, where we could
:16:29. > :16:33.see some heavy outbreaks of rain. But tomorrow, temperatures in the
:16:34. > :16:37.Channel Islands could hit 28. And as we head into Wednesday we are
:16:38. > :16:40.looking at the northern half of the country being wet, especially so
:16:41. > :16:44.across Scotland, where the rain will be heavy at times. Further south,
:16:45. > :16:48.variable amounts of cloud. Quite pretty, some sunny spells coming
:16:49. > :16:53.through as well, but not quite as hot or as monkey and sticky and it
:16:54. > :16:58.is going to be on Tuesday. So temperatures coming down a touch --
:16:59. > :17:06.not quite as monkey and sticky as it is going to be a Tuesday. We don't
:17:07. > :17:07.mind a bong during the weather forecast, as long as it doesn't
:17:08. > :17:25.hinder your work. Not entirely true. There was a lot
:17:26. > :17:30.of rain. Disappointing. She often does not need an umbrella, but it
:17:31. > :17:36.was significant enough that she needed it. The main stories this
:17:37. > :17:44.morning. And then we will look at the papers. The Times. Children
:17:45. > :17:55.exposed to a huge rise in gambling adverts. And yachts sailing south
:17:56. > :18:01.from Albert Dock. A shot from Liverpool yesterday. Many papers
:18:02. > :18:12.have teachers of Princess Diana on the front talking about her. --
:18:13. > :18:21.pictures. In the ?50 billion EU exit boost. A promise of 44,000 new job.
:18:22. > :18:27.That is to do with analysis from a campaign group. A story we are
:18:28. > :18:35.talking about. On line abuse to be treated as a hate crime. Brexit will
:18:36. > :18:44.make the world safe. Quite a few papers showing pictures of Julian
:18:45. > :18:49.Cadman, a seven year old British boy who is confirmed to have died in the
:18:50. > :18:56.Barcelona terror attack. The Financial Times has a picture from
:18:57. > :19:04.Barcelona and the service with the royals attending. Do you remember
:19:05. > :19:08.when Donald Trump came into power? He was talking about being a
:19:09. > :19:12.business president. The Donald Trump administration has decided to push
:19:13. > :19:21.hard for tax reform with a controversial national security
:19:22. > :19:28.investigation. What have you got? How important is it where a football
:19:29. > :19:36.team plays? Writ important. We all love Wembley. -- Very important.
:19:37. > :19:43.That headline is not from the point of view of the Spurs. People going
:19:44. > :19:49.will love the atmosphere. It helps raise their game. Yesterday,
:19:50. > :19:54.Tottenham Hotspur wanted it to feel more like a home stadium and it did
:19:55. > :19:59.not work. One person working on this whole atmosphere of the stadium you
:20:00. > :20:06.play in is Pep Guardiola. A tiny picture. This picture is him
:20:07. > :20:11.changing the dressing rooms at the Etihad. They are circular so
:20:12. > :20:20.everyone has to talk to everyone. You cannot hide. It is based on a
:20:21. > :20:32.sofa like the one we have. Yeah, and similar, they have hydrobaths and
:20:33. > :20:38.cool airjets to keep your legs cool. Do you have good public transport
:20:39. > :20:43.manners? Yeah. Commuters in the North of England today have had a
:20:44. > :20:49.free day of moaning, allowed to talk about what they are worried about.
:20:50. > :20:55.They had radio and TV phoneins to express frustration. Today
:20:56. > :21:05.officially you are allowed to moan about public transport. People moan
:21:06. > :21:11.most days. A whole day of it. That sounds like a nightmare listening to
:21:12. > :21:15.everyone moan for a day. People want to get to the bottom of it. Just
:21:16. > :21:26.listen to people in the run-up to it. Don't it! OK! -- don't ruin it.
:21:27. > :21:29.I think we can do the headlines now. The main stories this morning on
:21:30. > :21:31.Breakfast. Online hate crimes are to be treated
:21:32. > :21:34.as seriously as offences in person for the first time after
:21:35. > :21:37.new guidance was given The US Navy says ten of its sailors
:21:38. > :21:42.are missing and five have been injured after one of its warships
:21:43. > :21:46.collided with an oil tanker off And now one of the main stories
:21:47. > :21:56.mentioned in the headlines. Hate crimes carried out on social
:21:57. > :22:00.media should be treated as seriously as offences committed in person,
:22:01. > :22:02.according to new guidelines for prosecutors
:22:03. > :22:04.in England and Wales. The plans are in response to growing
:22:05. > :22:07.levels of abuse on platforms such as Twitter and Facebook,
:22:08. > :22:10.and are part of a wider review We're joined by Rose Simkins,
:22:11. > :22:21.who's the Chief Executive Thank you very much for coming to
:22:22. > :22:25.see us this morning. Good morning. What is tricky is what is the
:22:26. > :22:30.definition of hate crime? Many people will get messages on line
:22:31. > :22:34.which might seem abusive. But at what point does it become a crime?
:22:35. > :22:40.It depends on the context of what is said to. But basically, has a crime
:22:41. > :22:46.being committed? Hate crime is not a stand-alone crime, it is
:22:47. > :22:53.aggravation. You have to reach or break a fundamental law. You might
:22:54. > :22:59.be committing harassment, stalking, vicious communication on line. On
:23:00. > :23:05.the street it is assault. There has to be a crime committed. And so the
:23:06. > :23:11.normal process takes place. Has a crime taken place? Can it be
:23:12. > :23:20.prosecuted? It is those decisions which are critical for people. Most
:23:21. > :23:24.people don't report hate crime on or off the Internet. We have to
:23:25. > :23:28.encourage people to come forward and report. It is not for those
:23:29. > :23:34.individuals to decide whether there has been a law broken or not. The
:23:35. > :23:40.professionals go through it, like the police and the CPS. It is
:23:41. > :23:45.difficult, really, to know exactly what can be prosecuted. That is
:23:46. > :23:50.obviously why the CPS being more open to looking at that is important
:23:51. > :23:56.and more open to deciding that something can be prosecuted as well.
:23:57. > :24:00.Do the police have the resources to deal with this if this were to be
:24:01. > :24:04.dealt with in the same way? Do they have the resources to deal with all
:24:05. > :24:11.of those things happening in follow-up on all of those lead? That
:24:12. > :24:17.is a real worry. The police are getting better at dealing with
:24:18. > :24:21.reports. That is why Stop Hate UK exist. We don't believe they have
:24:22. > :24:26.the resources. Many people don't go to them for many reasons. One of
:24:27. > :24:33.those reasons is am I wasting their time, can this go further? It is not
:24:34. > :24:37.just about... People don't always want to go through the criminal
:24:38. > :24:41.justice process. What they want is someone to listen to them, to
:24:42. > :24:46.understand, give them advice, help keep them safe. We can go through
:24:47. > :24:55.those options with people and give them reassurance and help them speak
:24:56. > :25:01.to the police. So it is not a filter, as such, but it is a kind of
:25:02. > :25:05.friend who can help you get through that process. And we can try to
:25:06. > :25:10.think of other solutions. Sometimes the solution might be a social media
:25:11. > :25:15.company, perhaps a conversation with them about the harm being done, and
:25:16. > :25:18.they are getting better as well. Everyone is getting better at
:25:19. > :25:23.dealing with it, but it has a long way to go. Why is it increasing? Is
:25:24. > :25:28.it easy to send off messages to people with so many platforms for
:25:29. > :25:35.it? Are getting more nasty? What is it? Some people say it is moving for
:25:36. > :25:39.the street and the Internet. It is a safer place for the perpetrator
:25:40. > :25:43.because they think they are hidden. They are not as hidden as they may
:25:44. > :25:49.think. And people are getting more aware of what constitutes a crime.
:25:50. > :25:53.They think they can say anything with a freedom of speech. That comes
:25:54. > :25:59.in the law. There are restrictions on freedom of speech. And so people
:26:00. > :26:04.are more brave. It is easy sitting in your room to do these things. You
:26:05. > :26:08.do not have to go out in the street and potentially put yourself at
:26:09. > :26:17.risk, that is how people see it. So they get more bald on line. -- bold.
:26:18. > :26:23.Social media, the police, everyone is talking about it. We have been
:26:24. > :26:27.talking about it for 18 months. As we all talk about it, people are
:26:28. > :26:31.going to get more aware of what they need to report and reporting will go
:26:32. > :26:35.up. It is difficult to know how much is going on in terms of if it
:26:36. > :26:40.growing? That sort of measure was not done a few years ago. But we
:26:41. > :26:45.will be able to do that in the future. And we will know more about
:26:46. > :26:52.if it is growing. But it is where many cowards lurk. It seems easy to
:26:53. > :26:56.do. But people need to know there are still laws and they can be
:26:57. > :27:00.caught, and people are being caught. Interesting. Thank you for coming in
:27:01. > :27:10.to talk to us. Thank you. The weather with Carol who was under the
:27:11. > :27:15.clock at Big Ben. Sean out at a slightly wet... I got a comedic
:27:16. > :30:37.message from him. He said I am lucky to not be in this rain.
:30:38. > :30:42.message from him. He said I am lucky no fluff later on. If you can think
:30:43. > :30:44.of any films to watch with your pets, let us know on Twitter.
:30:45. > :30:47.I'm back with the latest from the BBC London Newsroom
:30:48. > :30:52.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Steph McGovern.

:31:47. > :31:49.The Crown Prosecution Service says it will seek tougher penalties
:31:50. > :31:53.for abuse on social media, which it says could lead to the type
:31:54. > :31:55.of extremist hate seen in Charlottesville in the US.
:31:56. > :32:00.The move is part of a wider review of such crimes by the CPS.
:32:01. > :32:04.With the explosion in the use of social media over the last few
:32:05. > :32:09.years, it is very important that the prosecuting authorities,
:32:10. > :32:15.the CPS, the police, are as up-to-date as possible
:32:16. > :32:19.in making sure that they're using the law to its fullest extent.

:32:27. > :32:29.The law is clear, and if you persist in this sort of behaviour,

:35:50. > :35:53.for the longest period Some MPs have criticised the plan,
:35:54. > :35:57.saying the bell's chimes are an important part
:35:58. > :36:06.of national life. And Carol will be taking them in
:36:07. > :36:14.every hour and giving us the weather as well. The most photographed
:36:15. > :36:18.building in the United Kingdom. You can use that. I will. Did you know
:36:19. > :36:21.it is the most photographed building in the United Kingdom?
:36:22. > :36:24.Later today, a total solar eclipse will sweep across the United States
:36:25. > :36:29.The movement of the moon between the earth and sun will turn

:36:33. > :36:36.In the UK, a partial solar eclipse will be visible just before sunset,
:36:37. > :36:47.as the moon appears to take a bite out of the sun.
:36:48. > :36:53.You have to remember not to stare directly at the sun. You have to
:36:54. > :36:58.look through a filter, cardboard glasses. If you go online and search
:36:59. > :37:02.what you can do and what you can't do, it is very clear. You can see
:37:03. > :37:11.how to build your own, to protect your eyes. And don't stare at the
:37:12. > :37:19.sun. As if I would. And we are excited, did you know Total Eclipse
:37:20. > :37:23.of the Heart... Bonnie Tyler will be singing that on a cruise later. Is
:37:24. > :37:30.that why you have been singing that all morning? And reasons, yes. We
:37:31. > :37:34.like to start every morning with Total Eclipse of the Heart. The
:37:35. > :37:38.album version six minutes and 59 seconds, so the eclipse only meant
:37:39. > :37:44.to last two minutes and 40 seconds, so she is going to have to start
:37:45. > :37:49.early, or... And you don't want to get the timing wrong, there is that
:37:50. > :37:55.big crescendo. From Bonnie Tyler to Mo Farah. A little bit of sadness
:37:56. > :37:58.seeing him win his last race in Britain. And we certainly need him
:37:59. > :38:01.now, tonight. Mo Farah has won his last ever
:38:02. > :38:04.track race in Britain, with victory in the Men's 3,000m
:38:05. > :38:07.at the Birmingham Diamond League The 34-year-old took his sixth
:38:08. > :38:10.World Championship gold in the 10,000m at this month's
:38:11. > :38:12.London World Championships, adding to the four
:38:13. > :38:15.Olympic titles he holds. His last ever track race will be
:38:16. > :38:18.next week in Zurich. After that, he is
:38:19. > :38:28.switching to road racing. What people forget is, it becomes
:38:29. > :38:32.like something of a hobby, something I enjoyed, it had become a job.
:38:33. > :38:36.Because I love it, I love what I do, and that is part of it. But at the
:38:37. > :38:40.same time, it gets a little hard when you have so much pressure you
:38:41. > :38:43.just can't go anywhere. But now I am going to road, it will be a new
:38:44. > :38:45.game, a new mind, and I am excited. Elsewhere in Birmingham, CJ Ujah,
:38:46. > :38:48.who was part of the sprint relay team which won gold
:38:49. > :38:50.at the World Championships, He beat his fellow Britons
:38:51. > :38:55.in the field, with a time Tottenham started life
:38:56. > :38:59.at their new home, Marcos Alonso was Chelsea's star
:39:00. > :39:04.man, giving them a first-half lead After an own-goal drew Spurs level,
:39:05. > :39:09.Alonso struck with two minutes remaining, to give Antonio Conte's
:39:10. > :39:12.side a first win of the season. Spurs have won only two of the 11
:39:13. > :39:34.games they have played at Wembley For sure, a big win. It is not easy
:39:35. > :39:48.to play against Tottenham, and to win. I consider Tottenham are really
:39:49. > :39:49.strong team. And for us, it was very important, this win.
:39:50. > :39:51.Huddersfield Town's terrific start to life
:39:52. > :39:52.in the Premier League continued yesterday.
:39:53. > :39:55.Aaron Mooy's second-half strike gave them a 1-0 victory over Newcastle.
:39:56. > :39:58.It leaves Huddersfield with maximum points from two games,
:39:59. > :40:04.There was a minute's silence before Barcelona's match against Real Betis
:40:05. > :40:06.last night, the team's first match since the terrorist attacks
:40:07. > :40:10.Instead of their normal names, players wore shirts with "Barcelona"
:40:11. > :40:18.Great Britain have won the team gold medal
:40:19. > :40:20.at the European Eventing Championships, in Poland.
:40:21. > :40:22.Nicola Wilson also took individual bronze.
:40:23. > :40:24.Riding Bulana in the show-jumping, Wilson could afford two penalties
:40:25. > :40:27.to secure the team gold, but managed a perfect round.
:40:28. > :40:38.Germany claimed team silver, with Sweden finishing third.
:40:39. > :40:45.I can't put into words just how impressed I am by how the riders
:40:46. > :40:49.rode, and stuck to the system. You can probably hear I am a bit
:40:50. > :40:51.emotional about it, but that is not a bad thing. I just can't be more
:40:52. > :40:52.proud, yes. The USA have won golf's Solheim Cup,
:40:53. > :40:54.after a comprehensive 16.5-11.5 The Americans had taken
:40:55. > :40:58.a commanding, five-point lead And it proved too much,
:40:59. > :41:02.despite a spirited Europe performance, Lizette Salas
:41:03. > :41:04.holing the winning putt. The United States have now won five
:41:05. > :41:16.of the last seven competitions. I am just so proud of how hard they
:41:17. > :41:21.have fought. I mean, it is not easy coming out here on a Sunday, being
:41:22. > :41:24.so far behind. But I am proud of them. They were out there fighting
:41:25. > :41:27.for every single match and every single point. So what can I say?
:41:28. > :41:36.Just congratulate the USA, because they have played some or some golf.
:41:37. > :41:40.-- awesome golf. Zlatan Ibrahimovic has
:41:41. > :41:43.suggested his knee is almost strong enough to return to football,
:41:44. > :41:45.by posting a video of himself The 35-year-old posted
:41:46. > :41:48.the caption "Which knee?" Ibrahimovic suffered knee-ligament
:41:49. > :41:51.damage in his first season He remains out of contract
:41:52. > :41:54.and without a club, but is still wanted by Jose Mourinho
:41:55. > :42:07.if he can get back to full fitness. Have we just got that on repeat? He
:42:08. > :42:13.keeps doing it! No, it is on repeat. He could be back sooner than we
:42:14. > :42:19.thought, do you think? Good to see that in all the twisting and turning
:42:20. > :42:23.of football. That is him suggesting he is fit, which I think he is so
:42:24. > :42:27.mentally strong. If he thinks he is fit and he can play again, I
:42:28. > :42:29.wouldn't bet against him. He might be back at Manchester United sooner
:42:30. > :42:31.than we thought. Tomorrow marks three months
:42:32. > :42:33.since the terrorist attack on concert-goers at
:42:34. > :42:34.the Manchester Arena, which left 22 people dead
:42:35. > :42:37.and many more injured. In the wake of the atrocity,
:42:38. > :42:40.a huge fundraising effort has seen more than ?18 million
:42:41. > :42:42.raised for the victims. During that time, the worker bee
:42:43. > :42:45.symbol has been used to demonstrate It is a motif that has long been
:42:46. > :42:50.adopted by Manchester, as John Maguire has
:42:51. > :43:04.been finding out. Taxi. I am hailing a London black
:43:05. > :43:09.cab, but this one is Manchester through and through. Behind the
:43:10. > :43:14.wheel is John. He is deeply passionate about his home city. It
:43:15. > :43:20.would have been the world's first industrial city. The busy bee, the
:43:21. > :43:23.worker bee, it represents that support, that standard in
:43:24. > :43:27.solidarity, against anyone who tries to sort of affect our way of life.
:43:28. > :43:31.And it is really poignant at the moment that the bees come right
:43:32. > :43:35.through. The worker bee has long been one of the city's emblems,
:43:36. > :43:41.symbolising the industriousness of its past and its people. Russell has
:43:42. > :43:45.been adorning Manchester's walls with bees for years, but now he is
:43:46. > :43:54.receiving more commissions than ever. On this wall, 22 bees, to
:43:55. > :43:58.honour the 22 victims of the Arena bombing. It is a prominent spot, so
:43:59. > :44:01.a lot of people will see it as well. And it means that people won't
:44:02. > :44:05.forget what has happened. Even though we get over things that have
:44:06. > :44:09.happened, people will see it and still remember, you know? It will be
:44:10. > :44:14.a lasting kind of monument, in a way. Permanents in paint, and also
:44:15. > :44:20.in ink, as tattoo artists have also read money -- raised money for the
:44:21. > :44:24.victims ' families. At this children's Hospital, the largest in
:44:25. > :44:28.the UK, I met one of the doctors who fought to save young lives after the
:44:29. > :44:32.attack. An amazing work of community, all those things came
:44:33. > :44:35.together at one time. So I have never seen the hospital quite so
:44:36. > :44:39.busy, in terms of all the activity going on. Doctor Fortune wanted to
:44:40. > :44:45.show his support and solidarity. I was chatting to some of my nursing
:44:46. > :44:50.colleagues and said I might get a bee T-shirt or something, to which a
:44:51. > :44:53.distinct face was pulled and after a bit of conversation I said if
:44:54. > :45:01.somebody sponsors me maybe I will go for it. And really, one thing led to
:45:02. > :45:05.another. I put it on Just Giving and I hoped to raise ?2500 but I hit
:45:06. > :45:10.that within a couple of days, so I doubled my target to ?5,000, and
:45:11. > :45:15.right now it stands at ?5,500. So it is still open, of course, if anyone
:45:16. > :45:19.wants to donate. The money will go to the children's Hospital. Last
:45:20. > :45:25.month, the funeral of the youngest person to die was held at Manchester
:45:26. > :45:31.Cathedral. Saffie, just eight years old, was described by her father
:45:32. > :45:35.during the service as a superstar in the making. 22nd bee is to be added
:45:36. > :45:39.to the stalls in honour of those killed in the concert. It is meant
:45:40. > :45:43.to remind us of those killed in the tragedy. Also it is meant to remind
:45:44. > :45:48.that this place stands for a variety of things, but it is also a place of
:45:49. > :45:56.hope. One evil, cowardly act that night, three months ago, was the
:45:57. > :46:00.catalyst for so much good. The We Love Manchester fund has raised ?80
:46:01. > :46:02.million and counting. As for the city and its celebrated symbol, the
:46:03. > :46:24.worker bees are as busy as ever. The weather. Carol had her umbrella
:46:25. > :46:33.out earlier. There is Big Ben. We are listening to the final chimes.
:46:34. > :46:38.It is still raining. I have put my umbrella down so you can see big.
:46:39. > :46:47.The chimes will be heard for the last time for four years at about
:46:48. > :46:51.noon. The weather will be cloudy and pretty damp if you are coming down.
:46:52. > :46:59.The forecast for today is cloud and rain drifting north. A look around
:47:00. > :47:04.the country. The south has the weather front producing cloud and
:47:05. > :47:07.rain extending across south Wales, south-west England, the south

:47:14. > :47:19.will build. The brightest skies in eastern England and Scotland. One or
:47:20. > :47:25.two showers in the west. Through the day, that wind will advance
:47:26. > :47:29.north-east. Four o'clock in the afternoon, it will be through
:47:30. > :47:38.Dumfries and Galloway. But the north-east denials hanging on to the
:47:39. > :47:42.sunshine. North-east England scene dry and bright weather. Further
:47:43. > :47:47.south, a lot of cloud around. Drizzle at times. The east of East
:47:48. > :47:53.Anglia, sunshine. Drawing a line from Kent to Hampshire, a lot of
:47:54. > :47:59.cloud this afternoon. Dampness here and there. Hampshire to the Isles of
:48:00. > :48:03.Scilly, brighter skies and sunshine coming through. That is the same for
:48:04. > :48:08.south Wales. The rest of Wales will be cloudy and murky. Rain in the
:48:09. > :48:17.north. That effect in Northern Ireland, where it will be heavy. --
:48:18. > :48:21.affecting. Behind this weather front it will be cloudy with murky
:48:22. > :48:27.conditions, especially around the coast. Hill fog. You will notice
:48:28. > :48:32.that it will not be cold. Tomorrow it will feel quite humid. Starting
:48:33. > :48:38.with rain in Scotland continuing to push north. A cloudy and murky start
:48:39. > :48:41.with mist and fog in England and Wales and Northern Ireland.
:48:42. > :48:51.Brightening up to be sunshine. In the sunshine tomorrow, 24, possibly
:48:52. > :48:58.25. In the north under the rain, 14-15. By the time we get to
:48:59. > :49:03.Wednesday, a bit of a north- south split. In the north of the country,
:49:04. > :49:09.wet. The rain in Scotland at times will be heavy. Further south, breezy
:49:10. > :49:14.and brighter. Temperatures a bit more low than today and tomorrow.
:49:15. > :49:21.Highs into the low 20s in the south. The high teens as we go further
:49:22. > :49:30.north. I will put my umbrella back up. You are so good. You sacrificed
:49:31. > :49:37.yourself just to make sure we got a good view of Big Ben. And you still
:49:38. > :49:39.look fab! I think that the rain does not even hit her. It just goes
:49:40. > :49:50.around her. A servant to the nation. It is one of those remarkable
:49:51. > :49:56.natural phenomena. A total eclipse. We get very excited about this. I
:49:57. > :50:04.remember the last one. For a few moments later today... Weight, where
:50:05. > :50:13.were you? I was 17 at the time. The moon will pass in front of the sun
:50:14. > :50:20.causing an eerie shadow. The 14 states in the US preparing to see it
:50:21. > :50:30.are waiting for what they call a totality. We have some eclipse
:50:31. > :50:38.chasers, but first, Richard Friedman in Montana. You have already got the
:50:39. > :50:42.spectacles on. How excited are you, Richard? I cannot begin to tell you
:50:43. > :50:49.how excited I am that it has been years since it was last in the
:50:50. > :50:56.United States. 1991. I was in Hawaii. In 1970, my wife and I were
:50:57. > :51:00.just dating and she said to me do you want to go see the eclipse or do
:51:01. > :51:05.you want to be with me? Which did you choose? I chose the one that led
:51:06. > :51:12.to me being married with her for 46 years. I went with her. You have
:51:13. > :51:19.been waiting 60 years to see one? Is that right? You have gone to some
:51:20. > :51:24.lengths. Absolutely. This time I am not just bringing my wife, but my
:51:25. > :51:33.daughter, her husband, and my grandchildren. Why are you so
:51:34. > :51:44.excited? And eclipse is an extremely rare revenge. -- rare event. It is
:51:45. > :51:49.not often it occurs. It is the most spectacular show in the world. All
:51:50. > :51:53.of a sudden we have total darkness in the entire area, the temperature
:51:54. > :51:58.drops, the planets and stars come out. It is almost like you are
:51:59. > :52:03.transported to another world. And right now in the United States, the
:52:04. > :52:08.two biggest factors I can think of are the weather and the traffic
:52:09. > :52:13.concerning us. In some areas the weather will look good, the traffic,
:52:14. > :52:22.well, we will find out. It is so lovely to talk to you. I hope you
:52:23. > :52:32.and your family enjoy it. He even has the T-shirt. Good morning. I
:52:33. > :52:38.cannot see an eclipse shirt, but you live in Northern Ireland and you are
:52:39. > :52:49.going to the US. Yeah. This will be my 11th total solar eclipse. I am
:52:50. > :52:55.leading a tour group with a UK-based company. I just went to the
:52:56. > :52:58.debriefing event where I was sharing what it was like to see a total
:52:59. > :53:03.solar eclipse. Some people have seen it before. The majority of my group,
:53:04. > :53:08.actually, this will be their first time. In a few hours' time, we will
:53:09. > :53:17.be waking up, getting out of a hotel, going on a gondola to 9000
:53:18. > :53:21.feet to a resort with amazing beautiful views. We are not
:53:22. > :53:25.stressed. We don't need to hit the road. We don't need to talk about
:53:26. > :53:33.traffic. It will be loudly, but it will be clearing for totality time.
:53:34. > :53:41.-- cloudy. It will be my 11th. I only remember the one we had in
:53:42. > :53:45.1999. It is a bit eerie. The birds stop singing because they think it
:53:46. > :53:51.is night-time. They go quiet. There is always in voluntary singing.
:53:52. > :53:56.Everyone is hugging. It feels special. Most people have seen a
:53:57. > :54:00.partial eclipse. But when you are in the path of totality, it is like
:54:01. > :54:04.Warren in another world. All of the things that happened, the way the
:54:05. > :54:09.temperature drops, the changes of the light, everything is different.
:54:10. > :54:16.The moments before totality when someone turns the dimmer switch
:54:17. > :54:21.down. You are plunged into darkness dramatically. You feel so euphoric
:54:22. > :54:28.and you have a bit of a fear because the world should not be that way. It
:54:29. > :54:37.feels intense. And when looking at the eclipsed sun, it is like nothing
:54:38. > :54:42.you have ever seen in your life, or just inspiring. It makes you feel
:54:43. > :54:46.insignificant, connected to the universe. We understand how huge the
:54:47. > :54:52.universe is. It is profound. It impacts many of us who go on to
:54:53. > :54:58.chase these. Thank you. Fascinating insight. We will talk about it later
:54:59. > :55:01.on. And, again, don't look at the sun directly. That is really
:55:02. > :55:06.important. We will speak to someone later on with proper advice. I will
:55:07. > :55:14.let them talk about that. And in between, we will be singing a lot of
:55:15. > :55:18.Bonny Tyler, Total Eclipse of the Heart. And I know someone who is
:55:19. > :55:28.good at singing that. Sean. Don't put me on the spot. I might do it a
:55:29. > :55:33.little later in the morning. We are talking about Caravan sales.
:55:34. > :55:37.Motorhomes like those as well. Sales are up on last year quite a bit.
:55:38. > :55:40.Sales of new cars may be falling, but it seems we're buying more
:55:41. > :55:50.You are from the industry. Why are sales up so much? People are
:55:51. > :55:56.choosing to holiday more and more in the UK, which is great. They want
:55:57. > :56:01.more holidays and more frequent trips of shorter duration. That is
:56:02. > :56:06.helping the market. You have had a good boost in the last year the
:56:07. > :56:12.Billy yeah. We have been the best performing sector. It is really
:56:13. > :56:22.appearing for everyone. I will go inside this one. These guys recently
:56:23. > :56:31.upgraded. You bought at 1.5 years ago? Thank you for having me. Yes.
:56:32. > :56:40.One year ago we decided to upgrade. We wanted to make the most of having
:56:41. > :56:43.one. A big decision a year and a half ago. You could have not bought
:56:44. > :56:48.another one and had more holidays abroad. Why did you stick with this?
:56:49. > :56:52.We love the flexibility of being able to go anywhere we want in the
:56:53. > :56:57.country. The children love being in the UK. We just put all of our stuff
:56:58. > :57:01.in here and have a great time going around the country. The children
:57:02. > :57:06.look like they love it. What is your favourite thing about the new one?
:57:07. > :57:11.It has bigger beds. And you are a fan of... What was it? Their right
:57:12. > :57:26.to make double beds in here, not one stop at -- There are two double
:57:27. > :00:56.beds. Thanks. Bigger beds. That is crucial. And now it is
:00:57. > :01:02.The fluff issue is a real one, but it sounds like a good idea. Back
:01:03. > :01:10.soon. Tougher sentences for people
:01:11. > :01:13.who commit hate crimes online. New guidelines mean abuse on social
:01:14. > :01:16.media sites will now be treated as seriously as offences
:01:17. > :01:27.committed in person. Also this morning: Second accident
:01:28. > :01:44.involving the US Navy Also this morning: Why police forces
:01:45. > :01:51.are asking more motorists to share footage of bad driving
:01:52. > :02:07.captured on dash-cams. We are in north Wales at a caravan
:02:08. > :02:15.park, looking at why sales of caravans like these, owned by the
:02:16. > :02:22.Which is, are booming. -- owned by the Butchers.
:02:23. > :02:24.In sport: Mo Farah signs off in style.
:02:25. > :02:28.In his final track race in the UK, the four-time Olympic champion eases
:02:29. > :02:30.to victory in the 3,000m in Birmingham.
:02:31. > :02:38.The chimes of Big Ben will fall silent today. Carol is there for us
:02:39. > :02:42.this morning. That's right, at midday today we will hear them for
:02:43. > :02:47.the last time up the four years, for repair work. If you are coming to
:02:48. > :02:52.London to hear them for the last time in a while, drink something
:02:53. > :02:55.waterproof. It is cloudy, damp drizzly this afternoon and we are
:02:56. > :02:59.looking at a band of rain moving north. The best sunshine in the UK
:03:00. > :03:02.will be in eastern areas. More details in 15 minutes.
:03:03. > :03:06.First, our main story: Hate crimes committed online should be pursued
:03:07. > :03:07.as seriously as offences carried out face-to-face,
:03:08. > :03:10.according to new guidelines for prosecutors in England and Wales.
:03:11. > :03:13.The Crown Prosecution Service says it will seek tougher penalties
:03:14. > :03:16.for abuse on social media, which it says could lead to the type
:03:17. > :03:19.of extremist hate seen in Charlottesville, in the US.
:03:20. > :03:29.Rhodri Colwyn Philipps, the fourth Viscount St Davids,
:03:30. > :03:32.jailed last month for racially aggravated threats on Facebook
:03:33. > :03:33.against Gina Miller, the businesswoman behind
:03:34. > :03:38.She said she felt violated by his shocking comments,
:03:39. > :03:42.just one of many online attacks she suffered.
:03:43. > :03:45.Now, the Crown Prosecution Service says these kinds of crimes must be
:03:46. > :03:50.dealt with as robustly as offences on the street.
:03:51. > :03:53.It is promising a tougher response, to build public confidence.
:03:54. > :03:57.There were more than 15,000 hate-crime prosecutions
:03:58. > :04:02.in 2015-2016, the highest number ever, and a third of those convicted
:04:03. > :04:11.But the number of cases referred to police by persecutors fell
:04:12. > :04:14.by almost 10%, a drop the CPS says it is investigating.
:04:15. > :04:20.With the explosion in the use of social media over the last few
:04:21. > :04:22.years, it is very important that the prosecuting authorities,
:04:23. > :04:30.the CPS, the police, are as up-to-date as possible
:04:31. > :04:33.in making sure that they're using the law to its fullest extent.
:04:34. > :04:35.There's no hiding place for these perpetrators.
:04:36. > :04:43.The law is clear, and if you persist in these sorts of behaviour,
:04:44. > :04:47.you'll be detected, caught and punished.
:04:48. > :04:50.Some critics say that police and prosecutors moved too slowly
:04:51. > :04:53.to apprehend online abusers, and that means people are reluctant
:04:54. > :04:57.But the CPS hopes its new guidance will create the best possible chance
:04:58. > :04:59.of achieving justice for all victims.
:05:00. > :05:09.And in a few minutes we will be speaking to the Director of Public
:05:10. > :05:11.Prosecutions about those guidelines. Stay tuned for that.
:05:12. > :05:13.Spanish police are exploring a possible link between Thursday's
:05:14. > :05:16.attacks in Spain and assaults by so-called Islamic State
:05:17. > :05:19.Authorities believe the imam Abdelbaki Es Satty may have
:05:20. > :05:25.radicalised younger members of the cell which carried out
:05:26. > :05:26.the Las Ramblas and Cambrils atrocities.
:05:27. > :05:28.They are also investigating whether he was involved
:05:29. > :05:32.in the bombings at Brussels Airport and a metro station in the city
:05:33. > :05:40.Our Europe correspondent Gavin Lee is in Barcelona.
:05:41. > :05:50.So more information coming out now about the people involved in this,
:05:51. > :05:55.in particular this Imam. Yes, we are getting a clearer picture, I think,
:05:56. > :06:02.today as to his involvement. Police raided his empty property in this
:06:03. > :06:08.picturesque Pyrenees town, about 1.5 hours from here, over the weekend.
:06:09. > :06:10.And they believe, or certainly it is understood, that he killed himself
:06:11. > :06:15.accidentally on Wednesday the day before the attacks. He was trying to
:06:16. > :06:19.prepare home-made bombs in a house where 12 men, police say, had been
:06:20. > :06:24.plotting this attack was six months. An explosion happened, there were
:06:25. > :06:27.105 canisters of butane and other home-made bomb-making equipment
:06:28. > :06:31.here, and the reason they carried out this attack on Las Ramblas and
:06:32. > :06:35.the second one in Cambrils, on the coast, further south, was because
:06:36. > :06:39.they had to quickly act. Ultimately he was the target and they are
:06:40. > :06:42.looking at whether he was linked to the Madrid attacks, to the Belgian
:06:43. > :06:46.attacks as well, some people say he had spent time there. But the hunt
:06:47. > :06:48.continues for another man, who is the main focus of the man-hunt right
:06:49. > :06:50.now. The US navy says ten of its sailors
:06:51. > :06:53.are missing and five have been injured after one of its warships
:06:54. > :06:57.collided with an oil tanker off It is the second serious collision
:06:58. > :07:00.involving an American warship BBC's Mat Morrison joins
:07:01. > :07:28.us from Singapore. So at about 5:20am Singapore time,
:07:29. > :07:32.there was a collision in Singapore between the USS John S McCain and a
:07:33. > :07:37.Liberian oil tanker. The oil tanker was far larger than the USS McCain.
:07:38. > :07:41.We are seeing pictures of the damage resulting from the collision and the
:07:42. > :07:46.resulting missing ten sailors, as you mentioned, and five who are
:07:47. > :07:51.injured. Four have been evacuated and are being treated in hospital in
:07:52. > :07:56.Singapore. One was treated on site. So the seventh Fleet, which oversees
:07:57. > :07:59.naval operations for the US, is going to determine exactly what
:08:00. > :08:03.happened and how this collision, as you say, the second such collision
:08:04. > :08:07.in two months, could have possibly happened. The last one leading to a
:08:08. > :08:11.loss of life. We will have to see what happens in regards to this
:08:12. > :08:13.instance. And you can see quite clearly the damage on the side of
:08:14. > :08:16.the US warship. Military exercises by South Korean
:08:17. > :08:19.and American armed forces are going ahead despite
:08:20. > :08:21.protests from the North. The drills are conducted every year,
:08:22. > :08:24.to prepare for an attack The latest come amid heightened
:08:25. > :08:27.tensions, following an exchange of threats between
:08:28. > :08:29.Pyongyang and Washington. More people will die from fires
:08:30. > :08:32.started by faulty whitegoods if ministers do not act
:08:33. > :08:34.to implement safety guidelines. That is according to
:08:35. > :08:37.the London Fire Brigade, They have sent a letter
:08:38. > :08:41.to Theresa May in response to the Grenfell Tower fire,
:08:42. > :08:44.which it is thought was started It warns some products
:08:45. > :08:50.are still being sold Big Ben will ring out today
:08:51. > :08:57.for what could be the last time in four years, as the Houses
:08:58. > :09:00.of Parliament undergo The bells will be muted
:09:01. > :09:03.for the longest period Some MPs have criticised the plan,
:09:04. > :09:07.saying the bell's chimes are an important part
:09:08. > :09:26.of national life. Did you know that it was the most
:09:27. > :09:30.photographed building in the UK? You can't just half that offers your own
:09:31. > :09:34.stat! I found out today that the first bell they put up their cracked
:09:35. > :09:40.because they did not angle it correctly. And the hammer, which
:09:41. > :09:42.weighs about 20 kg, was so powerful it whacked through the bell, so they
:09:43. > :09:47.had to replace it. The American entertainer Jerry Lewis
:09:48. > :09:51.has died at the age of 91. He became famous for his double
:09:52. > :09:53.act with Dean Martin, and went on to become
:09:54. > :09:56.the highest-paid actor in Hollywood, with hits such as The Bellboy
:09:57. > :09:59.and The Nutty Professor. His family say he died of natural
:10:00. > :10:16.causes at his home in Las Vegas. He was a great entertainer. You used
:10:17. > :10:17.to watch him with your dad. Yes, very fond memories. Just seeing his
:10:18. > :10:21.face brought me back. The United States will experience
:10:22. > :10:24.a coast-to-coast total solar eclipse for the first time in almost
:10:25. > :10:26.a century, later today. The so-called path of totality,
:10:27. > :10:29.when total darkness falls, Our reporter Nada Tawfik sent this
:10:30. > :10:32.piece from Hopkinsville, in Kentucky, which will experience
:10:33. > :10:43.the fullest eclipse. Eclipse-mania has arrived,
:10:44. > :10:46.and in the small town of Hopkinsville, Kentucky,
:10:47. > :10:48.this is the largest party Officially 'Eclipseville'
:10:49. > :11:07.for the big day, here is where the best of
:11:08. > :11:09.the darkness will be, It's bringing out
:11:10. > :11:15.the best in everybody, and everybody's together, and
:11:16. > :11:17.I love it. To deal with the overwhelming
:11:18. > :11:22.preparations, this quiet community of 30,000 appointed a special solar
:11:23. > :11:33.eclipse co-ordinator, and Mayor Carter Hendricks says this
:11:34. > :11:36.has been months in the making. About ten years ago,
:11:37. > :11:39.we got a phone call from a scientist asking about the eclipse,
:11:40. > :11:45.and if they could book hotel rooms. At the downtown festival,
:11:46. > :11:50.there are dozens of lenders, selling everything from eclipse
:11:51. > :12:12.T-shirts to artwork and glasses. The moment of totality will last two
:12:13. > :12:15.minutes and 40 seconds, here, but the memory
:12:16. > :12:31.will leave a permanent mark And Bonnie Tyler will be singing
:12:32. > :12:39.Total Eclipse of the Heart. When you start work at 5am and work until the
:12:40. > :12:41.evening, Bonnie Taylor can send you around the bend, in the right way!
:12:42. > :12:43.As we have been hearing, new CPS guidelines could mean
:12:44. > :12:46.tougher penalties for people in England and Wales who carry out
:12:47. > :12:51.The plans are in response to growing levels of abuse on social media.
:12:52. > :12:54.We can speak now to Alison Saunders, who is the Director of Public
:12:55. > :13:04.Thank you very much for joining us this morning. Can you define for us
:13:05. > :13:08.what counts as a hate crime? Because we have seen and heard a lot about
:13:09. > :13:15.people getting abuse online. When is it a crime, and not just someone
:13:16. > :13:19.being nasty on Twitter or Facebook or whatever? Well, I hate crime does
:13:20. > :13:24.not just occur online. It can occur in the physical space as well, and
:13:25. > :13:28.we define a hate crime where it is a crime that has motivated by
:13:29. > :13:31.somebody's hatred of an individual because of a particular
:13:32. > :13:35.characteristic. So it could be disability, it could be their
:13:36. > :13:41.gender, sexuality, it could be race or religion. And if the crime is
:13:42. > :13:44.committed because of somebody's hate trait of that particular
:13:45. > :13:48.characteristic, then that is a hate crime. And it is important that we
:13:49. > :13:53.define it as such, because if we define it as a hate crime we can ask
:13:54. > :13:56.the court to increase the sentence if they are convicted or plead
:13:57. > :14:01.guilty. So what changes will this create? The fact that a hate crime
:14:02. > :14:05.online is something you will look at and make a lot of. There are to make
:14:06. > :14:09.things we have launched today. One is internal guidance for prosecutors
:14:10. > :14:13.to make sure they are aware of all the different things they need to
:14:14. > :14:17.take into account in relation to the different specific strands of hate
:14:18. > :14:22.crime, and to make sure that we are asking for a sentence uplift, where
:14:23. > :14:25.we are convicting individuals. But also public facing statements and
:14:26. > :14:31.social media campaign we are launching today, Hate Crime Matters,
:14:32. > :14:35.that is important because it is a crime which is underreported. Some
:14:36. > :14:38.people feel they need to put up with it, they think it is just something
:14:39. > :14:41.that happens to them because they are disabled, gay, or of a
:14:42. > :14:45.particular religion, and that is absolutely not the case, so we are
:14:46. > :14:48.really encouraging people to think about the behaviour shown to them
:14:49. > :14:53.and to think about reporting things which will be a hate crime. And how
:14:54. > :14:56.is this going to be enforced? We have talked a lot about how much
:14:57. > :15:00.pressure the police are already under. If they are now going to be
:15:01. > :15:05.getting a lot more people reporting these online cases, do they have the
:15:06. > :15:09.resources to deal with it? Yes, and I can mainly talk about prosecutors
:15:10. > :15:12.but we have enough resources to deal with this. It is something we
:15:13. > :15:17.understand. We prosecute at the moment over 15,000 cases of hate
:15:18. > :15:20.crime per year, and what we have seen is a rise in the number of
:15:21. > :15:26.cases, against all the strands, particularly race and religiously
:15:27. > :15:29.aggravated hate crime. The good news which can give people more
:15:30. > :15:33.confidence in coming forward is that in over 50% of the cases we
:15:34. > :15:37.prosecute, we are seeing the sentence uplift because it is a hate
:15:38. > :15:40.crime, which should give people the confidence to come forward. Likewise
:15:41. > :15:44.we can help and support people. So one of the documents that we have
:15:45. > :15:49.issued today is specifically for people who are disabled, to indicate
:15:50. > :15:52.how we can help and support them through the court process. So again,
:15:53. > :15:59.that should encourage people to come forward.
:16:00. > :16:12.Why and how? We have had a social media policy for a while and we are
:16:13. > :16:18.just updating it. We just want to make sure prosecutors are as
:16:19. > :16:26.up-to-date as possible. We want the community to be safe. We want groups
:16:27. > :16:39.to get together to make sure we are so where as possible about Harry is
:16:40. > :16:50.that manypeople from reporting. -- are as aware as possible about this.
:16:51. > :17:00.And now for the weather. Big Ben prepares to fall silent. Is the sun
:17:01. > :17:06.coming out? It is not. Good morning. It is not sunny. It is cloudy and
:17:07. > :17:15.wet. But what a magnificent view of Big Ben behind me. It will stop
:17:16. > :17:26.making noise from midday to repair. That will take up to four years. Big
:17:27. > :17:31.Ben is actually just the bell inside the Elizabeth Tower, and it is the
:17:32. > :17:38.most photographed building in the entire UK. They will still continue
:17:39. > :17:44.on New Year's and Remembrance Sunday. But if you're coming down
:17:45. > :17:47.here, bring your umbrella is. We have a weather forecast for the
:17:48. > :17:55.whole of the UK. Cloud and rain going north through the day. The map
:17:56. > :17:59.of the UK. Patchy rain across south Wales, south-west England, extending
:18:00. > :18:05.through southern counties of England into the south-east, as we have here
:18:06. > :18:09.in London currently. Not heavy in particular. But you will get wet. It
:18:10. > :18:17.is going north, introducing more cloud. The sunniest skies in the
:18:18. > :18:23.east. That continues in Scotland. Then the rain will be in the
:18:24. > :18:27.north-west, west and south-west of Scotland and England, but not
:18:28. > :18:36.north-east England. The cloud will be old. It will go down the coast.
:18:37. > :18:41.Down towards the south-east, a lot of cloud with some drizzle. The
:18:42. > :18:45.south-west, brighter skies with sunshine coming out. Feeling warm in
:18:46. > :18:51.the sunshine. Wales is brightening up quite nicely. But it could be
:18:52. > :18:55.cloudy and murky with rain in the north. That same band of rain going
:18:56. > :19:00.into Northern Ireland where it will be heavy at times as well. Through
:19:01. > :19:05.the evening, rain going through Northern Ireland, northern England,
:19:06. > :19:13.and much of Scotland. Behind that, cloud. Patchy mist and fog. Coastal
:19:14. > :19:20.and Hillend mist and fog. -- hill and. It will feel quite humid in
:19:21. > :19:25.parts of England and Wales. Tomorrow, rain in Scotland going
:19:26. > :19:29.north-east. After a cloudy start with that patchy mist and fog across
:19:30. > :19:34.England and Wales and Northern Ireland, it will brighten up.
:19:35. > :19:40.Sunshine coming through. Breezy. Temperatures up to 28 in the Channel
:19:41. > :19:46.Islands, 23- 24 in England and Wales, cool in the rain in the
:19:47. > :19:50.north, 18. Wednesday, the northern half of the country will have the
:19:51. > :19:56.rain. The southern half will have something more bright. Breezy. It
:19:57. > :20:00.will not be as warm. The wind changes to a westerly from a
:20:01. > :20:05.southerly. Feeling cool. Putting my umbrella back up because it is still
:20:06. > :20:09.raining. Back to you. Thank you for the clarification. For a moment it
:20:10. > :20:15.looks like the sun was breaking through. Thank you for clearing that
:20:16. > :20:21.up. You always have to have the last word. She knows what she's about. I
:20:22. > :20:26.am just saying there might be some nice weather and she clarified. Just
:20:27. > :20:33.trying to bring some sunshine into your life. She already brings that.
:20:34. > :20:39.I know my place, I know my place. She is laughing.
:20:40. > :20:41.Motorists are being encouraged to share footage captured
:20:42. > :20:44.on dash-cams with police in an effort to crack down
:20:45. > :20:49.In the last year, a pilot scheme in North Wales has seen action taken
:20:50. > :20:51.against more than 100 drivers who were filmed
:20:52. > :21:00.Our reporter, Lorna Gordon, has more.
:21:01. > :21:11.This evening drive earlier this year in Fife. Violet was driving a short
:21:12. > :21:19.distance in her car on a road she knows well when this happened. The
:21:20. > :21:22.driver of the other car blame her for the crash, but she used the
:21:23. > :21:27.footage recorded by her dashcam to show she did nothing wrong. Her car
:21:28. > :21:35.was written off, but the dashcam that proved her innocence followed
:21:36. > :21:39.her to her new one. I had it for a few minutes. It was a great example
:21:40. > :21:46.of what it can do. I believe it helps me. It just proves what
:21:47. > :21:52.happened. It definitely helped me. They record what the driver of a car
:21:53. > :21:56.seized on the road ahead. -- sees. When there is an act that end, the
:21:57. > :22:04.footage can prove whether the driver is in the clear or if they were at
:22:05. > :22:08.fault. Dashcams have shown questionable behaviour on our roads
:22:09. > :22:15.which could have put others at risk. In North Wales, police investigate
:22:16. > :22:18.footage sent in by motorists. It has resulted in action against some
:22:19. > :22:24.drivers, and has been so successful, the scheme is going to be expanded.
:22:25. > :22:28.They say dashcam footage can give valuable evidence in the event of a
:22:29. > :22:33.crash. Some companies lower premiums for drivers who have the technology
:22:34. > :22:37.in their cars. Having that record of what happened means the claim get
:22:38. > :22:45.settled quicker. The second one is if you are unlucky enough to be the
:22:46. > :22:48.victim of a cash for crash scam or if you are being accused of
:22:49. > :22:55.something you have not done, you have good evidence. Court cases have
:22:56. > :23:03.known to use them. This shows you were not to blame. Some say dashcams
:23:04. > :23:07.are a breach of privacy. Violet says she will never drive without one and
:23:08. > :23:13.believes our roads would be safe if everyone had one in their cars.
:23:14. > :23:17.Lorna Gordon, BBC News. Incredible footage.
:23:18. > :23:22.Inspector David Cust is from North Wales Police.
:23:23. > :23:29.This is changing the face of policing. It is. With dashcams
:23:30. > :23:36.becoming more popular, we saw a need to progress the footage process to
:23:37. > :23:39.make sure as a member of the public, if you are dissatisfied with how
:23:40. > :23:44.someone drives, you can report it. When you get footage... That just
:23:45. > :23:52.makes... Every time I look but I cringe. What do you do with the
:23:53. > :23:57.footage? It is submitted through our website. People send it with a
:23:58. > :24:04.statement saying it is their footage and has not been doctored. We assess
:24:05. > :24:09.it against the evidence and we look at what we do from there, whether it
:24:10. > :24:16.is going to court, a penalty, depending on what the offence is.
:24:17. > :24:21.How do you respond to a legitimate concern this is Big Brother gone
:24:22. > :24:27.mad? I don't see it that way. It increases road safety. We all want
:24:28. > :24:33.to get from A to B safely. Is in the back of your mind you think a car
:24:34. > :24:38.will have a dashcam, it will make you safer. -- if in. Is driving
:24:39. > :24:43.getting worse? No, but this highlights there are still poor
:24:44. > :24:48.drivers out there. We want the ability to bring them in. You can go
:24:49. > :24:55.on YouTube and social media and there are many bad driving examples.
:24:56. > :25:00.Cyclists in big cities struggling to get past vehicles. Is it true you
:25:01. > :25:07.will not pursue cases when that footage has been uploaded already?
:25:08. > :25:13.It goes against justice. People will have preconceived ideas about what
:25:14. > :25:18.the footage is. It is not fair if someone has already seen it and have
:25:19. > :25:28.there own ideas about whether they are at fault. We just say don't put
:25:29. > :25:34.them on social media. You ran this initiative and it will be going
:25:35. > :25:40.across the whole of Wales. How did it work? How many were you sent? It
:25:41. > :25:44.was put together by one of our sergeant because he saw a need for
:25:45. > :25:51.aid. We have trialled it for 12 months. We had 129 cases taken
:25:52. > :25:59.forward, a significant number. We will take it forward through all of
:26:00. > :26:03.Wales. It will be the same process. It will be interesting to see how it
:26:04. > :26:10.all works. Thank you very much for coming in to talk to us. How much do
:26:11. > :26:15.they cost? It cost ?5 for my car. They are not expensive and you can
:26:16. > :26:31.get a discount with insurance. Thank you very much. Thank you. You can do
:26:32. > :26:34.it this time. It is 7:26. It is 26 minutes past seven.
:26:35. > :26:40.Sales of new cars may be falling, but we're buying more caravans.
:26:41. > :26:43.So, we've sent our happy camper, Sean, to Pwllheli in North Wales
:26:44. > :26:51.I am in North Wales. We are talking about the sales of camper vans and
:26:52. > :26:54.romantic ones like these getting more younger people involved.
:26:55. > :27:03.Motorhomes have increased as well. More than 10% up in sales. We will
:27:04. > :30:27.talk about why more people are doing that. Is it the weaker pound? Or are
:30:28. > :30:42.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Steph McGovern.
:30:43. > :30:45.Hate crimes committed online should be treated as seriously as offences
:30:46. > :30:47.carried out face-to-face, according to new guidelines
:30:48. > :30:48.for prosecutors in England and Wales.
:30:49. > :30:51.The Crown Prosecution Service says it will seek tougher penalties
:30:52. > :30:54.for abuse on social media, which it says could lead to the type
:30:55. > :30:57.of extremist hate seen in Charlottesville in the US.
:30:58. > :31:12.The move is part of a wider review of such crimes by the CPS.
:31:13. > :31:18.We know this is a crime which is underreported. Sometimes feel they
:31:19. > :31:21.just have to put up with it, it is something that happens to them
:31:22. > :31:23.because they are disabled, because they are gay, because they are a
:31:24. > :31:34.particular religion. And that is absolutely not the case,
:31:35. > :31:37.so we are really encouraging people to think about the behaviour shown
:31:38. > :31:41.to them and to think about reporting Spanish police are investigating
:31:42. > :31:45.a possible link between Thursday's attacks in Spain and assaults
:31:46. > :31:48.by so-called Islamic State Authorities believe the imam
:31:49. > :31:51.Abdelbaki Es Satty may have radicalised younger members

:33:47. > :33:56.as the moon appears to take a bite out of the sun.
:33:57. > :34:04.10% is what we will see over here in the UK, and we cannot stop talking
:34:05. > :34:08.about the Total Eclipse of the Heart whenever we do this, can we? We are
:34:09. > :34:13.being told off for talking about it too much. You made a demand that we
:34:14. > :34:20.play a section of it. It is such a good song, and it fits because
:34:21. > :34:26.Bonnie Tyler will be on a cruise ship, singing Total Eclipse of the
:34:27. > :34:30.Heart. Have you ever tried karaoke of Total Eclipse of the Heart? It is
:34:31. > :34:34.almost impossible. Is the hardest song to sing. I tried it once in
:34:35. > :34:42.Portsmouth and had to stop halfway through. Put the Blues Brothers on.
:34:43. > :34:50.And I am surprised she has kept her voice over the years, with the

:35:21. > :35:22.it becomes like something Because I love it, I love what I do,
:35:23. > :35:29.and that is part of it. But, at the same time,
:35:30. > :35:32.it gets a little hard when you have so much pressure you just

:36:39. > :36:42.games they have played at Wembley It's not easy to play
:36:43. > :36:53.against Tottenham, and to win. I consider Tottenham
:36:54. > :36:55.a really strong team, and for us, it was very
:36:56. > :37:08.important, this win. Huddersfield Town's

:37:43. > :37:45.of the last seven competitions. I'm just so proud of how
:37:46. > :37:48.hard they have fought. I mean, it's not easy coming
:37:49. > :37:51.out here on a Sunday, They were out there fighting
:37:52. > :37:56.for every single match Just congratulate the USA,

:39:05. > :39:07.It is part of a huge maintenance project at the Houses of Parliament.
:39:08. > :39:10.But, as silence approaches, a host of MPs have expressed
:39:11. > :39:12.their frustration over how long Big Ben won't bong.
:39:13. > :39:23.Good morning to you. Thank you for coming on the programme. Most people
:39:24. > :39:26.agree there is a sadness that that familiar sound is not going to be
:39:27. > :39:32.there. Isn't the reaction a little bit over the top? No. You have said
:39:33. > :39:36.it is an iconic tower, and it is, and the noise is something that
:39:37. > :39:41.people associate with London. They associate it with the news during
:39:42. > :39:46.the Second World War. People used to listen out for it. It is the sound
:39:47. > :39:50.of truth and freedom, which is just iconic. And I think part of the
:39:51. > :39:53.problem is that the MPs who have sat on committees, there are other three
:39:54. > :39:57.committees dealing with this, believe it or not, and it appears
:39:58. > :40:04.that they simply were not giving given the information that disrepair
:40:05. > :40:10.would take place, and they didn't know that it would take four years.
:40:11. > :40:14.Did no one asked the question? I am surprised, I sat on one of these
:40:15. > :40:18.committees, and we were replacing the cutlery, and we were told that
:40:19. > :40:22.perhaps we ought not to have the colours printed on the cutlery
:40:23. > :40:26.because so many were being stolen. So I asked the question, tell me,
:40:27. > :40:31.how many are being stolen? And they couldn't answer it. I said if you
:40:32. > :40:35.can't even answer that question then let's put the symbol on the cutlery,
:40:36. > :40:39.and that is what we did. I think there are lots of churches around
:40:40. > :40:43.the country which don't have bellringers any more for all sorts
:40:44. > :40:46.of reasons, and so they have reproduced the sound of the bells
:40:47. > :40:49.for weddings and various other occasions. Why couldn't we have done
:40:50. > :40:54.something like that on the other tower, on the Victoria Tower, so
:40:55. > :40:59.that those who were working on the Elizabeth Tower would not get
:41:00. > :41:02.deafened and people can still hear Big Ben chiming. These are simple
:41:03. > :41:06.things which could have been done. It is still not too late. When the
:41:07. > :41:09.bells silenced at midday there is always the opportunity, I hope, and
:41:10. > :41:14.when the house gets back, I hope these questions will be asked. Why
:41:15. > :41:19.is it taking so long? Why has the cost almost doubled from ?20 million
:41:20. > :41:24.to something like ?60 million, and why is it taking four years? Given
:41:25. > :41:27.everything else which is going on in the world, though, chatting about
:41:28. > :41:33.whether the clock should have its bongs seems a bit trivial. It got
:41:34. > :41:36.worse. My first meeting we were talking about whether the carpets
:41:37. > :41:42.being replaced in the House of Commons were the right shade of
:41:43. > :41:46.green. I used to call the committee 50 shades of green. We laugh about
:41:47. > :41:50.it, but you guys are meant to be doing jobs to help the country. It
:41:51. > :41:54.is not the most important thing we will discuss today, but the fact is
:41:55. > :41:58.that it is a UNESCO world site. And for me, I believe that the Elizabeth
:41:59. > :42:02.Tower and Big Bend, it just doesn't belong to Parliament. This belongs
:42:03. > :42:06.to the people of Britain and the people of the world -- Big Ben. I
:42:07. > :42:09.think we have a responsibility to ensure that the repairs are done, to
:42:10. > :42:14.make sure that the tower doesn't fall over, but that the Belle's
:42:15. > :42:20.noise is heard throughout the kingdom, and not just on New Year's
:42:21. > :42:24.Eve and Remembrance Sunday. It is already ?60 million this costs, and
:42:25. > :42:28.it will take four years, if someone says we can put the recorded chimes
:42:29. > :42:33.on Victoria Tower but it will cost a ridiculous amount of money... I bet
:42:34. > :42:37.there are some people who are in the business who would love to do that
:42:38. > :42:44.job, to show that they can have the appeals of Big Ben while the repairs
:42:45. > :42:50.are going on -- peels. But questions have to be asked why it is that the
:42:51. > :42:54.costs have spiralled. And we are talking about Big Ben, which is at
:42:55. > :42:58.the side of Parliament. We are also talking about the refurbishment of
:42:59. > :43:02.the whole parliament. That started at ?1 billion, we are now on ?4
:43:03. > :43:07.billion. That was the last estimate I heard. If they can't get Big Ben
:43:08. > :43:10.right, what hope have I or anyone else got that they will get the
:43:11. > :43:16.whole of Parliament right? At least the cutlery is OK. Well, I don't
:43:17. > :43:29.know how much of it is left. Thank you very much, nice to see you. We
:43:30. > :43:35.have dropped clanger. How long have you been working on that. And
:43:36. > :43:40.because of the news from Big Ben, we have sent Carol to Westminster. I
:43:41. > :43:45.will not make any comment about whether the weather is improving, I
:43:46. > :43:49.will leave it to you. It is so cloudy and wet, but what of view we
:43:50. > :43:52.have a Big Ben behind me, looking resplendent despite the fact the
:43:53. > :43:56.weather is not. Big Ben, of course, is the bell inside the Elizabeth
:43:57. > :44:04.Tower. Some interesting facts: Big Ben itself weighs 13.7 tons and has
:44:05. > :44:09.a diameter of 8.9 feet, that is 2.7 metres. Each clock face is 23 feet,
:44:10. > :44:15.that is seven metres, in diameter, and composed of around 312 sections
:44:16. > :44:25.of opal glass. The hour hand is 9.2 feet, that is 2.8 metres in length,
:44:26. > :44:30.and the middle hand is 4.3 metres. It is splendid, and as we have just
:44:31. > :44:37.been hearing, at noon today we will hear the chimes for the last time
:44:38. > :44:42.for up to four years for repair work -- minute hand. It has been raining
:44:43. > :44:46.in London all morning. We have a band of cloud and rain moving north
:44:47. > :44:50.eastwards through the course of the day. As it does so, it will pep up
:44:51. > :44:53.across Northern Ireland and also parts of Scotland. What we have
:44:54. > :44:56.currently is that band of rain across south-west England, extending
:44:57. > :45:01.through South Wales, into the South Midlands and into the south-east. It
:45:02. > :45:05.is fairly patchy but some of it is heavy. The best of the sunshine
:45:06. > :45:08.today is across the fire East of England, and eastern and
:45:09. > :45:13.north-eastern Scotland, all the way up towards the Northern Isles. By
:45:14. > :45:16.the time we get to 4pm the rain will have advanced steadily northwards
:45:17. > :45:20.and by then will be ensconced across parts of Argyll and Bute, down
:45:21. > :45:23.towards Galloway, still hanging on to the sunshine in the far
:45:24. > :45:27.north-east. They will also be across the far north England, some of it
:45:28. > :45:30.could be heavy. North-east England although the cloud will build, it
:45:31. > :45:34.will be largely dry at this stage. Down the coastline from north-east
:45:35. > :45:38.England towards Norfolk, we will see some sunshine. But inland, there
:45:39. > :45:41.will be a lot more cloud right the way down towards the south coast,
:45:42. > :45:45.with drizzle at times. Moving towards the south-west, you have got
:45:46. > :45:49.brighter skies with some sunshine coming through, and it will feel
:45:50. > :45:53.warm and the sunshine, as it will across South Wales. For most of
:45:54. > :45:57.Wales it will be cloudy and murky, especially along the coast, with the
:45:58. > :46:00.rain in the north. The same rain extending into Northern Ireland,
:46:01. > :46:04.where it will also be quite heavy. Through the course of the evening
:46:05. > :46:06.and overnight, the rain continues to advance across Northern Ireland,
:46:07. > :46:11.through northern England and in through most of Scotland. Behind it,
:46:12. > :46:15.for England and for Wales it is going to be cloudy. There will be
:46:16. > :46:20.some patchy mist and fog, especially so along the hills and coasts, but
:46:21. > :46:23.not exclusively. And it will be a humid night, especially across
:46:24. > :46:27.England and Wales. So tomorrow we start off with that scenario. The
:46:28. > :46:29.rain across Scotland continuing to push northwards. The cloud and the
:46:30. > :46:33.murkiness raking across England, Wales and Northern Ireland, allowing
:46:34. > :46:36.some sunshine to come through. We still have tropical air across us so
:46:37. > :46:41.in the sunshine the temperatures will rocket. We could have 28 in the
:46:42. > :46:46.Channel Islands, 2324 widely across England and Wales, but in the rain
:46:47. > :46:50.in Scotland temperatures will be a little bit lower, the high teens at
:46:51. > :46:54.best. On Wednesday the northern half of the country will see the rain,
:46:55. > :46:57.heavy at times, for the rest of the country, for England, Wales and
:46:58. > :47:01.parts of Northern Ireland, we are looking at a dry and brighter day.
:47:02. > :47:04.But why then the wind will have changed direction to move
:47:05. > :47:06.Westerleigh, so it will not be as humid and it will not feel as warm
:47:07. > :47:17.as it is going to either. Is it good weather in North Wales to
:47:18. > :47:19.take your caravan out? It will be wet and murky. But if you like
:47:20. > :47:26.that... Sean looks like he likes it. Sales of new cars may be
:47:27. > :47:37.falling, but it seems we're The weather is holding up quite
:47:38. > :47:51.nicely. Everyone is having a nice time. We are talking about caravans.
:47:52. > :47:58.Sales are up so much. Zero for cars, though. We can talk to Andrew. Have
:47:59. > :48:02.you noticed a change in the last year? Over the last three years we
:48:03. > :48:11.have seen demand massively increase. But also the style moving to
:48:12. > :48:15.caravans and motorhomes. Are different people buying them?
:48:16. > :48:23.Certainly. Families, ones with younger children. Younger people as
:48:24. > :48:28.well. It is becoming more popular. So, it has been improving for six
:48:29. > :48:33.years. But in the last year we have been talking about this. Has it
:48:34. > :48:41.affected businesses? Definitely. People have not come as much to
:48:42. > :48:47.North Wales, until now, and we are coping with demand. People are
:48:48. > :48:53.getting wise and spending time outside of peak hours. I will let
:48:54. > :49:00.you crack on with it. We will disrupt this family's backing up.
:49:01. > :49:07.Perfectly timed. Good morning. You have been here ten days this time.
:49:08. > :49:10.What made you think we should have a holiday in the UK and not go abroad?
:49:11. > :49:22.Just the freedom of visiting different places and spending time
:49:23. > :49:29.with my kids. You have upgraded in the last few years. When you made
:49:30. > :49:33.the decision to buy another one, why didn't you think let's just go
:49:34. > :49:37.abroad? Partly the cost. With a caravan you have the freedom to
:49:38. > :49:42.visit different places and get about and spend time with the children.
:49:43. > :49:46.How much more would you spend if you did not have it but the four of you
:49:47. > :49:52.decided to go to the south of Spain? At least another couple of grand.
:49:53. > :49:59.How do you save money? You need a bigger car, the fuel? Shop around
:50:00. > :50:05.for a nice campsite that will cater to everyone. Making sure that you
:50:06. > :50:09.have stuff which will make your small time together as a family a
:50:10. > :50:16.nice time, like a nice beach, somewhere to take the dogs and have
:50:17. > :50:21.them run loose. I will drag you out as well. When it comes down to it,
:50:22. > :50:31.the reason they have a bigger caravan, are here it is because of
:50:32. > :50:36.you? Because I am getting taller. I am getting too big for it. What is
:50:37. > :50:43.it about places like this? Would you prefer a holiday abroad? Not really.
:50:44. > :50:48.You are happy here? Yeah. I like spending time and doing stuff with
:50:49. > :50:53.my family. Getting outdoors. Yeah. It doesn't matter about the weather
:50:54. > :50:57.because you can still do stuff. And there are different views. And you
:50:58. > :51:03.have your dog with you the whole time. Over the next few years will
:51:04. > :51:08.you come back here? We want to come back here. There are places we have
:51:09. > :51:13.not seen in Wales itself we want to come back to. It has been really
:51:14. > :51:19.nice. We want to come back. I will let you crack on with backing up and
:51:20. > :51:25.so you can enjoy your trip. Charlie has been well-behaved. In an hour,
:51:26. > :51:29.we will talk about whether it has made a difference to holidaymakers
:51:30. > :51:43.in north-west Wales. Thank you very much. Charlie likes Sean but not the
:51:44. > :51:50.cameraman, Steven. I know him. He made the right choice. I like their
:51:51. > :51:58.little sense. I love that the little kid gave the right answer, I would

:52:13. > :52:16.In that time, the image of the worker bee, which has long
:52:17. > :52:18.been associated with Manchester, has become a symbol of unity

:52:43. > :52:45.that standard in solidarity, against anyone who tries to sort
:52:46. > :52:49.And it's really poignant at the moment, that the bees
:52:50. > :52:55.The worker bee has long been one of the city's emblems,
:52:56. > :52:57.symbolising the industriousness of its past and its people.
:52:58. > :53:00.Russell Meehan has been adorning Manchester's walls with bees

:53:07. > :53:10.It is a prominent spot, so a lot of people will see it,
:53:11. > :53:13.as well, and it means that people won't forget what has happened.
:53:14. > :53:16.Even though we get over things that have happened,
:53:17. > :53:18.people will see it and still remember, you know?
:53:19. > :53:33.It will be a lasting kind of monument, in a way.

:53:55. > :53:57.So I've never seen the hospital quite so busy, in terms
:53:58. > :54:01.Dr Fortune wanted to show his support and solidarity.
:54:02. > :54:05.I was chatting to some of my nursing colleagues and said I might get
:54:06. > :54:08.a bee T-shirt, or something, to which a distinct face was pulled.
:54:09. > :54:12.And after a bit of conversation I said, if somebody sponsors me,
:54:13. > :54:15.And really, one thing led to another.
:54:16. > :54:21.I put it on JustGiving and I hoped to raise ?2,500.
:54:22. > :54:25.But I hit that within a couple of days, so I doubled my target
:54:26. > :54:28.to ?5,000, and right now it stands at ?5,500.
:54:29. > :54:31.So it's still open, of course, if anyone wants to donate.
:54:32. > :54:33.The money will go to the Children's Hospital.

:05:50. > :05:54.and one of the members of the cell Police believe the suspected driver
:05:55. > :06:02.of last week's van attack may have escaped to France, and are now
:06:03. > :06:06.probing the attackers' 14 victims have been identified
:06:07. > :06:33.from seven countries. You can see the memorial behind you.
:06:34. > :06:39.Bring us up-to-date with how the investigation is going? In the past
:06:40. > :06:45.few minutes a newspaper has released CCTV images of the driver leaving
:06:46. > :06:50.Las Ramblas, going through the market, fleeing on foot. He is
:06:51. > :06:57.wearing sunglasses. If that is the case, this is about 5pm or five 30
:06:58. > :07:02.PM on Thursday. It ties in with one of the main theories of the police
:07:03. > :07:09.investigation, that the driver fled on foot. About an hour and a half
:07:10. > :07:15.later, there was a man who was carjacked. A 34-year-old Spanish
:07:16. > :07:22.man. He was stabbed and killed. It is thought the driver, believed to
:07:23. > :07:25.be Younes Abouyaaqoub, drove away from the city and hasn't been seen
:07:26. > :07:34.since. There are checks on the French border. And also where this
:07:35. > :07:36.base was. We are expecting a press conference in about three hours from
:07:37. > :07:39.the Interior Minister. Thank you.
:07:40. > :07:42.The US navy says 10 of its sailors are missing and five have been
:07:43. > :07:45.injured, after one of its warships collided with an oil tanker off
:07:46. > :07:48.It's the second serious collision involving an American
:07:49. > :08:01.The Malaysian Maritime enforcement agency have been speaking in the
:08:02. > :08:18.last half an hour. We know the location of the incident. It is more
:08:19. > :08:21.or less at the entrance, an area where 80,000 vessels travel through
:08:22. > :08:29.the area each year. On a daily basis I cannot give you the number. There
:08:30. > :08:38.are several authorities that look into the safety of the area. One is
:08:39. > :08:39.the MPA. That is the detail we have been
:08:40. > :08:51.receiving. What more can you tell us? We can
:08:52. > :08:57.tell you the USS John S McCain has made it to dry land. It docked about
:08:58. > :09:03.15 miles from where I am sitting in Singapore at a naval base. Reports
:09:04. > :09:08.from the ground say there is a crane attached to the vessel as the damage
:09:09. > :09:14.is repaired. You have seen the pictures of the gaping hole on the
:09:15. > :09:18.port side of the vessel, about two thirds of the way back. There are a
:09:19. > :09:21.number of sailors still on board monitoring whatever repairs might be
:09:22. > :09:29.needed. As we have been reporting, the incident took place about five
:09:30. > :09:40.-- 5:24am local time. Ten people remain missing. Five people were
:09:41. > :09:43.injured. Of those five, four were evacuated for medical treatment.
:09:44. > :09:47.They have been treated. The fifth person did not require further
:09:48. > :09:51.medical treatment. The focus is on the ten missing sailors and
:09:52. > :09:56.hopefully not a repeat of an incident in which seven US sailors
:09:57. > :09:59.lost their lives on board the USS John Fitzgerald.
:10:00. > :10:02.Big Ben will ring out today, for what could be the last time
:10:03. > :10:04.in four years, as the Houses of Parliament undergo
:10:05. > :10:10.The bells will be muted for the longest period
:10:11. > :10:16.Some MPs have criticised the plan, saying the bell's chimes
:10:17. > :10:25.are an important part of national life.
:10:26. > :10:33.When the bells are a at midday, there is always the opportunity, I
:10:34. > :10:37.hope, and I hope these questions will get asked, why is it taking so
:10:38. > :10:44.long? Why has the cost almost doubled to ?60 million? And why is
:10:45. > :10:50.it taking four years? Lead us know what you think. Carol is there with
:10:51. > :10:51.the weather throughout the morning. The United States will experience
:10:52. > :10:54.a coast to coast total solar eclipse for the first time in almost
:10:55. > :11:00.a century later today. We were talking to some eclipse
:11:01. > :11:03.chasers earlier. The so-called path of totality,
:11:04. > :11:05.when total darkness falls, Nada Tawfik sent this piece
:11:06. > :11:11.from Hopkinsville in Kentucky, which will experience
:11:12. > :11:19.the fullest eclipse. Eclipse mania has arrived,
:11:20. > :11:22.and in the small town This is the largest party
:11:23. > :11:28.they have ever thrown. Officially Eclipseville
:11:29. > :11:31.for the big day, here is where the best of
:11:32. > :11:33.the darkness will be, People used to say, where is hot
:11:34. > :11:47.skin -- Hopkins no? It's bringing out the best
:11:48. > :11:53.in everybody, and everybody's To deal with the overwhelming
:11:54. > :11:56.preparations, this quiet community of 30,000 appointed a special solar
:11:57. > :11:59.eclipse co-ordinator, and Mayor Carter Hendricks says this
:12:00. > :12:02.has been years in the making. About ten years ago,
:12:03. > :12:05.we got a phone call from a scientist asking about the eclipse,
:12:06. > :12:20.and if they could book hotel rooms. What also makes this an ideal
:12:21. > :12:24.location is is -- its expansive farmland. It is the perfect location
:12:25. > :12:27.to host the masses of spectators that have descended on this small
:12:28. > :12:28.town from all around the country and the world.
:12:29. > :12:31.The moment of totality will last two minutes and 40 seconds,
:12:32. > :12:33.here, but the memory will leave a permanent mark
:12:34. > :12:46.It is 12 minutes past eight. Let's return to one of our main stories.
:12:47. > :12:47.Last week's terrorist attack in Barcelona,
:12:48. > :12:50.which left 13 people dead, took place at the height
:12:51. > :12:52.of the summer holidays, in one of Europe's most
:12:53. > :12:56.Stephanie Walton and Aamer Anwar were just two
:12:57. > :12:58.of the Brits caught up in the horror.
:12:59. > :13:01.Stephanie, who joins us on the sofa, was visiting Las Ramblas
:13:02. > :13:16.Thank you for talking to us. How are you feeling? OK. Still a bit shaken.
:13:17. > :13:23.It is a bit surreal still. I'm really glad I'm back home and safe.
:13:24. > :13:27.Still very aware. For instance, I was watching TV the other night and
:13:28. > :13:33.I heard a similar sound and I instantly just kind of shot up. I
:13:34. > :13:39.can't seemed to shift the noises and screams out of my head but I'm OK.
:13:40. > :13:40.Have you got friends and family around you? Earlier Yes, I have add
:13:41. > :13:42.somewhat support. While Aamer, a human rights lawyer,
:13:43. > :13:52.was in the city for work. Is it the same for you? Is it the
:13:53. > :13:58.noises and the smells that remind you of what he went through? Very
:13:59. > :14:03.much the same in terms of the images, the sounds and the screams.
:14:04. > :14:07.I can't get the sound of this mother screaming hysterically because she
:14:08. > :14:13.had lost her children, not knowing what happened. When you watched the
:14:14. > :14:20.TV and saw the pictures of that young boy Julian. Last night when I
:14:21. > :14:25.got home I held my children very closely and didn't want to let them
:14:26. > :14:29.go. My nine-year-old son, you find yourself breaking down at points you
:14:30. > :14:33.don't expect to break down. I normally consider myself to be quite
:14:34. > :14:38.strong. But the emotions come and go. There were different times I
:14:39. > :14:43.find myself on my own and you keep replaying the picture again and
:14:44. > :14:48.again. As the hours go by there is a feeling of guilt as well. I keep
:14:49. > :14:53.remembering the empty prams, I keep remembering the screams. I remember
:14:54. > :14:59.walking through Las Ramblas and just enjoying the scene. I described it
:15:00. > :15:03.as a sea of humanity, every race, creed and religion was represented.
:15:04. > :15:07.I was there without my children but I kept looking at children enjoying
:15:08. > :15:09.themselves. Not knowing how they are, how their families are, little
:15:10. > :15:23.things keep coming back. It is hard. Steph, I can see you nodding away
:15:24. > :15:28.there, where we see this on television, we often think how we
:15:29. > :15:31.would react in this situation - how did you react?
:15:32. > :15:36.Not exactly how I thought I would, because when you see previous
:15:37. > :15:41.attacks on TV, you see the emotional faces, the running. Even when I
:15:42. > :15:45.watch films and stuff, you think, why are you freezing, just run! But
:15:46. > :15:50.when it first happened, I just froze, and I didn't act or do
:15:51. > :15:54.anything like how I thought I would act, and it just completely shocked
:15:55. > :15:59.you. It is a really scary thing to go through. You run your sister,
:16:00. > :16:04.didn't you? I couldn't get through to my mum, so I rang my sister, she
:16:05. > :16:08.was crying her eyes out because she felt she couldn't do anything to
:16:09. > :16:19.help me, wanted them to know I was OK. Aamer, for you, and all me, not
:16:20. > :16:23.at all of this attack, but since then you have had some abuse,
:16:24. > :16:28.haven't you, online from people? Yes, I have been the victim of
:16:29. > :16:42.hatred by the far right, the former leader of the EDL claimed I was an
:16:43. > :16:45.Isis lawyer, which was utter lies, and there has been a number of
:16:46. > :16:49.people saying they wish I was dead, that I should have been there ten
:16:50. > :16:53.seconds earlier, lots of vitriolic abuse about being a Muslim, being
:16:54. > :16:57.part of the plot. Normally in my work as a lawyer, I would not
:16:58. > :17:02.respond, but I have called it out because it does bring you to tears,
:17:03. > :17:04.and I don't see, when my family is petrified, terrified, worrying for
:17:05. > :17:09.me, that they should have to read such abuse. They wouldn't dare say
:17:10. > :17:16.that to me face to face, and I wonder how they can think that they
:17:17. > :17:20.can direct this abuse at me. And I wonder sometimes what goes... For
:17:21. > :17:24.me, whether it be these far right extremists, just the other side of
:17:25. > :17:28.the coin, they are just different faces, different names, but no
:17:29. > :17:32.difference to the men who carried out this barbaric attack. And what I
:17:33. > :17:37.found shocking was that I said at the time, when I walked through
:17:38. > :17:43.there, it was a sea optimality. As a Muslim, I have said my community has
:17:44. > :17:45.no immunity from the bombs and bullets, people who drive bands into
:17:46. > :17:50.crowds, and I was caught up in it. And for some reason, they don't want
:17:51. > :17:55.to accept that, because for me that is the solution - for people to
:17:56. > :17:58.realise that we stand together, every race, creed, religion was
:17:59. > :18:07.represented on Las Ramblas, 34 nations that the big -- that the
:18:08. > :18:09.victims came from. But the response of people from Scotland and
:18:10. > :18:14.throughout the United Kingdom has been amazing, thousands of people
:18:15. > :18:19.sort of providing support and standing up and saying that this is
:18:20. > :18:26.wrong, this is no solution. Because for me, I think I am still in shock,
:18:27. > :18:31.but everybody always says, what is the solution? I do not know if there
:18:32. > :18:34.is a solution, but what makes things better is compassion, what makes
:18:35. > :18:41.things better is humanity. They are not cliches, that is the only way
:18:42. > :18:46.forward. Yeah. And I saw that the next day, I went back to Las Ramblas
:18:47. > :18:51.in the morning, and as the hours progressed and you see the spot
:18:52. > :18:55.where the van stopped, now thousands and thousands of flowers, teddy
:18:56. > :18:59.bears, I was there when the first candle was laid, and for me that he
:19:00. > :19:04.finds, that spirit, that unity, that solidarity is really what we saw in
:19:05. > :19:08.Manchester, London and in Barcelona. That is the only solution at the end
:19:09. > :19:15.of the day to this barbarism, to this inhumanity by these
:19:16. > :19:23.individuals. Stephany, would you go back? Yes. And you would as well?
:19:24. > :19:28.Absolutely, I spoke to my son last night, and I am determined to go
:19:29. > :19:33.back very soon, I want to go back, it is a beautiful city, and clearly
:19:34. > :19:40.the people who carry this out hate the music, culture, art, a whole
:19:41. > :19:44.cross-section of society that is represented there, it is a beautiful
:19:45. > :19:48.city and I would most definitely go back. I know you both spoke to us
:19:49. > :19:49.immediately after the attack, so thank you for coming on and sharing
:19:50. > :20:00.your thoughts this morning. Carol's here with this
:20:01. > :20:01.morning's weather. She's out at Westminster as Big Ben
:20:02. > :20:08.prepares to fall silent. Good morning, everyone, you are
:20:09. > :20:15.quite right, because at noon today we will hear the bongs for the last
:20:16. > :20:17.time for up to four years as essential maintenance work takes
:20:18. > :20:24.place on the clock and the chimes. The kind of work is is essential
:20:25. > :20:30.maintenance, but it is also going to be made more energy-efficient, there
:20:31. > :20:34.will be new amenities such as a lift, kitchen and its first-ever
:20:35. > :20:38.lavatory. As well as conservation work to the tower, the great clock
:20:39. > :20:42.will be dismantled piece by piece, and the four dials will be cleaned
:20:43. > :20:45.and repaired. During that work, an electric motor will drive the hands
:20:46. > :20:50.until the main mechanism has been restored, so it will continue to
:20:51. > :20:52.tell the time. However, the faces will need to be temporarily covered
:20:53. > :21:00.while the clock is undergoing maintenance. So if you are coming
:21:01. > :21:02.down for that at noon today, to hear them for the last time in a wee
:21:03. > :21:05.while, the weather, well, cloudy with some drizzle around. You might
:21:06. > :21:09.be lucky and see a glimmer of sunshine. You will still hear the
:21:10. > :21:15.bells chime at New Year and also on the member on Sunday and other
:21:16. > :21:20.special occasions. -- and also on Remembrance Sunday.
:21:21. > :21:26.Restrain ensconced across counties, not particularly heavy, but there
:21:27. > :21:35.are heavy bursts in that line of rain. -- the rain is ensconced. The
:21:36. > :21:39.brighter, sunny as guys will be in the far east of eastern England and
:21:40. > :21:48.also eastern and north-eastern Scotland. -- sunnier skies. Later
:21:49. > :21:51.that rain will have made its way northwards, getting towards the
:21:52. > :21:55.Southern uplands, but the north-east are still hanging onto the sunshine.
:21:56. > :21:58.For north-west England, you will have the rain ensconced by four
:21:59. > :22:02.o'clock in the afternoon, north-east England clouding over all the time
:22:03. > :22:05.before the arrival of the rain, but still a sliver will hang onto
:22:06. > :22:10.brighter skies. That will continue all the way down to Norfolk, but
:22:11. > :22:14.moved inland and we have all this cloud, breaking in places, still
:22:15. > :22:19.some drizzle coming out of thicker cloud. Towards the south-west, the
:22:20. > :22:26.Skype brightens, sunshine coming through, and it is the same for
:22:27. > :22:32.South Wales. -- the Skype brightens. We are also looking at rain across
:22:33. > :22:34.North Wales, extending across the Irish Sea into Northern Ireland,
:22:35. > :22:38.where it will be quite heavy. Through the evening and overnight,
:22:39. > :22:43.that band of rain will continue across all of Northern Ireland,
:22:44. > :22:48.northern England and most of Scotland. Behind it, a lot of cloud,
:22:49. > :22:52.murky conditions, a patchy mist and fog, and it will be a humid night,
:22:53. > :22:58.particularly in England and Wales with temperatures not dipping lower
:22:59. > :23:01.than 17 here. Tomorrow morning we start with rain across Scotland
:23:02. > :23:05.continuing its journey across the Highlands, moving northwards, but
:23:06. > :23:15.behind all of that, a cloudy start with all that murk, and in this
:23:16. > :23:24.tropical air, embedded in an area of low pressure, highs of up to 28 in
:23:25. > :23:31.the Channel Islands, Whiteley 22-25. Scotland, in the rain, a little bit
:23:32. > :23:36.lower than that. -- widely. Rain will be heaviest in Scotland, breezy
:23:37. > :23:39.in the south, but some sunshine. The breeze is important, because at the
:23:40. > :23:44.moment we have got a southerly wind, which is why it is so humid. With
:23:45. > :23:50.this westerly, it will feel cooler, temperatures that bit lower.
:23:51. > :23:56.Lower temperatures but delivered with a smile!
:23:57. > :24:01.A friendly pigeon behind the there as well, just having a little luck.
:24:02. > :24:05.Added you know it was friendly? Is that pigeon behind you friendly?
:24:06. > :24:11.Very friendly! Motorists are being encouraged
:24:12. > :24:15.to share footage captured on dashcams with police,
:24:16. > :24:17.in an effort to crack In the last year, a pilot scheme
:24:18. > :24:22.in North Wales has seen action taken against more than 100 drivers
:24:23. > :24:32.who were filmed We should do a warning on this about
:24:33. > :24:34.really bad driving, this piece has a lot of bad driving in it, as Lorna
:24:35. > :24:36.Gordon has been finding out. An evening drive in Fife
:24:37. > :24:40.earlier this year. Violet was driving a short
:24:41. > :24:42.distance in her car on a road she knows well -
:24:43. > :24:47.when this happened. The driver of the other car
:24:48. > :24:52.blamed her for the crash, but Violet used the footage
:24:53. > :24:54.recorded by her dashcam Violet's car was written off,
:24:55. > :25:01.but the dashcam that proved her innocence
:25:02. > :25:04.followed her to her new one. I just sat in the car
:25:05. > :25:07.for a few minutes. I was quite shaky, so obviously,
:25:08. > :25:10.with having the dashcam, Cos they were disputing,
:25:11. > :25:14.the other party was disputing. Dashcams record what the driver
:25:15. > :25:23.of a car sees on the road ahead. When there's an accident,
:25:24. > :25:26.the footage the dashcame records can prove whether the driver
:25:27. > :25:28.is in the clear or, indeed, Some footage has ended up showing
:25:29. > :25:36.questionable behaviour out on our roads which could have put
:25:37. > :25:41.others at risk. In North Wales, police investigate
:25:42. > :25:46.footage sent in by motorists. It's resulted in action against some
:25:47. > :25:51.drivers and has been so successful The footage is varied, that we get,
:25:52. > :26:01.some of which has been horrendous and shocking,
:26:02. > :26:03.and it's only right that, as an organisation, we take it
:26:04. > :26:06.forward and prosecute that person. We cannot be everywhere
:26:07. > :26:10.for everyone, and it gives us an extra set of eyes on the road
:26:11. > :26:15.24/7, recording what is footage that
:26:16. > :26:17.can be used in court. Insurers say dashcam footage
:26:18. > :26:19.can provide valuable evidence Some companies lower
:26:20. > :26:23.their premiums for drivers who have the technology
:26:24. > :26:27.in their cars. will mean the claim
:26:28. > :26:32.gets settled quicker. The second one is,
:26:33. > :26:34.if you are unlucky enough to be the victim of a cash-for-crash fraud
:26:35. > :26:37.scam, or even if you are being accused of something you have not
:26:38. > :26:40.done, you have really good evidence. We know know there have been court
:26:41. > :26:43.cases where people have used dashcam evidence to say,
:26:44. > :26:46."This is what actually happened, Campaign group Big Brother
:26:47. > :26:51.Watch argues dashcams Violet says she would never drive
:26:52. > :26:57.without her dashcam now and believes our roads
:26:58. > :27:17.would be safer It is incredible some of that
:27:18. > :27:26.footage, you just think, what on earth are they doing?! We have had
:27:27. > :27:30.loads of messages about it. Raven says these are no different to CCTV,
:27:31. > :27:33.no-one has been given permission to be filmed.
:27:34. > :27:39.We did mention that every police officer earlier. Catherine says, I
:27:40. > :27:43.have wished I had a dashcam on more than one occasion. Heidi says, I
:27:44. > :27:45.have sent some clips of awful driving to my police, and so far no
:27:46. > :31:07.response at all. Time to get driving to my police, and so far no
:31:08. > :31:07.but we can take away and there is no fluff later.
:31:08. > :31:09.I'm back with the latest from the BBC London
:31:10. > :31:21.Hello, this is Breakfast with Dan Walker and Steph McGovern.
:31:22. > :31:23.The main stories this Monday morning.

:37:22. > :37:24.of the film being dubbed "Britain's Brokeback Mountain"
:37:25. > :37:40.will be here to tell It is funny, the whole Matty Dawson
:37:41. > :37:48.thing. I just came back from holiday and I got bitten to death. The
:37:49. > :37:54.insect love the Brits! But Lyme disease is very serious. We will get
:37:55. > :38:02.into that in a bit. We have other sport to talk about. The end of a
:38:03. > :38:04.era in athletics. The last time Mo Farah raced on the track in this
:38:05. > :38:07.country. Mo Farah has won his last ever
:38:08. > :38:09.track race in Britain, with victory in the men's 3000

:38:16. > :38:17.London World Championships, adding His last ever track race will be
:38:18. > :38:22.next week in Zurich. After that he's switching
:38:23. > :38:25.to road racing. What people forget is, it becomes
:38:26. > :38:28.like something of a hobby, Because I love it, I love what I do,
:38:29. > :38:34.and that is part of it. But, at the same time,
:38:35. > :38:38.it gets a little hard when you have so much pressure you just
:38:39. > :38:40.can't go anywhere. But now I'm going to road,
:38:41. > :38:42.it will be a new game, Great Britain have won the team gold
:38:43. > :38:48.medal at the European Eventing Nicola Wilson also took
:38:49. > :38:52.individual bronze. Riding Bulana in the showjumping,
:38:53. > :38:54.Wilson could afford two penalties to secure the team gold but managed
:38:55. > :38:57.a perfect round. Germany claimed team silver,
:38:58. > :39:03.with Sweden finishing third. I can't put into words
:39:04. > :39:07.just how impressed I am by how the riders rode,
:39:08. > :39:09.and stuck to the system. You can probably hear I'm
:39:10. > :39:12.a bit emotional about it, Tottenham started life
:39:13. > :39:17.at their new home - Marcos Alonso was Chelsea's star
:39:18. > :39:22.man, giving them a first-half lead After an own goal drew Spurs level,
:39:23. > :39:30.Alonso struck with two minutes remaining to give Antonio Conte's
:39:31. > :39:33.side a first win of the season. Spurs have won only two of the 11
:39:34. > :39:36.games they have played at Wembley The USA have won golf's Solheim Cup
:39:37. > :39:46.after a comprehensive 16 and a half to 11 and a half victory over
:39:47. > :39:48.Europe in Iowa. The Americans had taken a commanding
:39:49. > :39:51.five-point lead into the final days singles and it proved too much
:39:52. > :39:53.despite a spirited Lizette Salas holing
:39:54. > :39:55.the winning putt. The United States have now won five
:39:56. > :40:11.of the last seven competitions. How is this for proving you are back
:40:12. > :40:17.to fighting fitness? Zlatan Ibrahimovic has
:40:18. > :40:19.suggested his knee is almost strong enough to return to football
:40:20. > :40:22.by posting a video of himself Ibrahimovic suffered knee-ligament
:40:23. > :40:26.damage in his first season He remains out of contract
:40:27. > :40:30.and without a club but is still wanted by Jose Mourinho if he can
:40:31. > :40:42.get back to full fitness. What does that tell you about how
:40:43. > :40:48.his knee is feeling? That is a straight red card! It is the only
:40:49. > :40:52.place he is allowed to do it. It is a funny way to show it is all right,
:40:53. > :40:57.you might think he could do something with a football. I think
:40:58. > :41:01.that is quite suggesting it is not hurting at all. Being able to do
:41:02. > :41:06.that after ligament damage... Thank you. I'm off to go and do some kick
:41:07. > :41:12.boxing! That's an image! When Matt Dawson set
:41:13. > :41:14.off on a routine run through a London park,
:41:15. > :41:16.he could never have imagined The former England rugby player
:41:17. > :41:23.suffered an insect bite, which left him needing
:41:24. > :41:25.multiple heart operations. Matt contracted Lyme's
:41:26. > :41:30.Disease from a tick. Cases of which have
:41:31. > :41:31.increased fourfold over We'll speak to Matt in a moment
:41:32. > :41:35.about his experience and how he hopes to help others
:41:36. > :41:38.avoid a similar fate. But first, would you know what to do
:41:39. > :41:52.if you, your children or your pets The main site you are looking for if
:41:53. > :41:57.you have been bitten by a tick, especially something like Lyme
:41:58. > :42:04.disease is a local rash. It looks like a target, red and pink. You
:42:05. > :42:10.don't always get that. It is to be vigilant and look for any areas of
:42:11. > :42:14.red, any sore areas, and if you are concerned, speak to your GP about
:42:15. > :42:17.the risks and the fact you have walked in an area of Lyme disease
:42:18. > :42:23.where you could potentially picked up the tick. We are looking for
:42:24. > :42:29.areas that ticks like to hide, things like belly buttons, behind
:42:30. > :42:36.the knees, where your clothes meet, around your waist band, the top of
:42:37. > :42:39.the sock line and behind the ears of children. To examine each other
:42:40. > :42:42.because it can be difficult to see one on your back for example. Give
:42:43. > :42:47.yourself a good check over if you have been out in the countryside in
:42:48. > :42:49.the long grass weather is a higher risk of ticks. Very helpful advice.
:42:50. > :42:52.Former England rugby player Matt Dawson joins us now.
:42:53. > :42:56.Great to talk to you. You have been suffering with this disease.
:42:57. > :43:11.Thankfully a lot better which is one of the reasons why I have decided to
:43:12. > :43:16.help with the awareness campaign. I had been hiding away a little bit
:43:17. > :43:24.for the last couple of years because it was very serious, a lot of extra
:43:25. > :43:31.heartbeats every day, but the magnificent doctors that operated me
:43:32. > :43:38.have managed to slightly suppress those actor be -- with those extra
:43:39. > :43:44.beads and that is what I have decided to join the campaign that
:43:45. > :43:47.the University of Bristol happy together which is called the Big
:43:48. > :43:54.Tick project. How did you contract it? Did you see this take? No and
:43:55. > :43:59.that was one of the mysteries behind it and there are a lot of cases like
:44:00. > :44:06.that. I was bitten on my back. My wife is from Germany, she had Lyme's
:44:07. > :44:12.herself when she was 19 she thought it was that straightaway. I went to
:44:13. > :44:17.beat GB and it was still unclear, if the tick had fallen off or if
:44:18. > :44:21.something had happened, but I did go and have a blood test eventually and
:44:22. > :44:24.it came back as positive. It had been in my system for a while and
:44:25. > :44:30.the ramifications were that it at got into my heart and caused
:44:31. > :44:34.inflammation and scar tissue. And how many operations did you have on
:44:35. > :44:40.your heart after this question I had two ablation is and the second was
:44:41. > :44:53.seven hours long so pretty significant. Yes, the procedures
:44:54. > :44:58.were quite severe and it has stopped me from taking part in as much
:44:59. > :45:05.exercise as I like, but I think what is apparent is that it is very easy
:45:06. > :45:09.to get Lyme's disease if you have a tick, if you have pets or walking
:45:10. > :45:14.through fields, long grass. I don't think either you or I would
:45:15. > :45:19.ordinarily check for ticks if we had pets, on ourselves as well as the
:45:20. > :45:23.pets, and the VT you saw about had to check for them on your pets, we
:45:24. > :45:28.don't do it with our kids. We don't do it with ourselves. That was the
:45:29. > :45:32.frustrating part, not so much the procedures, and a sportsman and used
:45:33. > :45:35.to having operations, it was the fact that I did not see it coming
:45:36. > :45:39.Peshmerga I'm a sportsman. I probably could have done something
:45:40. > :45:42.about it. We saw some handy advice. What should people do they find one
:45:43. > :45:56.or on their children or pets? First don't listen to the old wive's
:45:57. > :45:59.tales about using surgical spirits or pulling or burning them off.
:46:00. > :46:06.There is a special implement to get the tick off. If you have been
:46:07. > :46:11.bitten, you know you have been bitten, go to your GP and insist you
:46:12. > :46:15.have a blood test for Lyme's disease. The ramifications can be
:46:16. > :46:21.serious, myself being a case in point. You don't always get the
:46:22. > :46:25.bull's-eye rashes, so you continue necessarily know you -- don't
:46:26. > :46:31.necessarily know you have been bitten. I was laid out and thought I
:46:32. > :46:36.had a virus. But that would have been from the bite. It has been
:46:37. > :46:42.vigilant and particularly if you have pets, making sure you check
:46:43. > :46:47.your pets, your dogs, go into the vet's for a prescription for ticks
:46:48. > :46:51.is possible. You don't just have to go to the counter, you can go to
:46:52. > :46:57.vet's and get something that will help your vet and the family as
:46:58. > :47:02.well. It is good to talk to you. I know you're not back to full
:47:03. > :47:07.fitness, but it is great you're here to share the problems and raise
:47:08. > :47:12.awareness. Matt Dawson talking about the big tick project. If you're
:47:13. > :47:17.looking for places, the most commonplace are the hair line,
:47:18. > :47:24.behind your ear,s, back of the the knees and the groin. Belly buttons.
:47:25. > :47:28.It is essentially to get checked by your GP to find if you have Lyme's
:47:29. > :47:31.disease. And Carol's here with this
:47:32. > :47:33.morning's weather - she's out at Westminster as Big Ben
:47:34. > :47:47.prepares to fall silent. Is it brightening up? It has stopped
:47:48. > :47:53.raining for now. But there is still a bit of cloud around. I'm here
:47:54. > :48:01.because at noon we will here the chimes of Big Ben chime for the last
:48:02. > :48:07.time for up to four years as maintenance work is carried out. Big
:48:08. > :48:12.Ben refers to the bell inside the tower. The tower is called the
:48:13. > :48:21.Elizabeth Tower. The last time it felt silent for work was in 2007,
:48:22. > :48:28.when it was shut down for seven weeks. If you're coming to listen to
:48:29. > :48:33.the chimes for the last time, bring something waterproof with you, it
:48:34. > :48:36.will be cloudy. We will see some brightness through the day. But it
:48:37. > :48:42.is worth mentioning if you think what will happen at new year, the
:48:43. > :48:46.chimes will still chime then and an Remembrance Sunday and other
:48:47. > :48:49.occasions. The forecast today is cloud and rain moving north-east
:48:50. > :48:54.wards. That is the cloud and rain now in London. We have a line
:48:55. > :49:01.extending from South Wales, South West England and the south Midlands
:49:02. > :49:06.into the south-east. It is patchy. Through the morning it will move
:49:07. > :49:13.north. So the brightest skies are going to be across the far east of
:49:14. > :49:16.eastern England to Norfolk and eastern and north eastern Scotland.
:49:17. > :49:21.The rest will be cloudy with showers. By 4 in the afternoon the
:49:22. > :49:28.rain will be across parts of Scotland and Argyll and Butte and
:49:29. > :49:34.the south-west and the south. It will be sunny in the north-east. The
:49:35. > :49:39.cloud continuing to build. Remember down to Norfolk we will hang on to
:49:40. > :49:46.sunshine. Inland we are back into the cloud in the Midlands,
:49:47. > :49:52.Cambridgeshire and Kent and with some drizzle. In the south-west of
:49:53. > :49:58.England and Wales, brighter skies. But the rest of Wales cloudy with
:49:59. > :50:03.rain in the north that. Raining extending into Northern Ireland,
:50:04. > :50:07.where it will be heavy at times. Tonight that band of rain moves
:50:08. > :50:11.across Northern Ireland, northern England and into most of Scotland.
:50:12. > :50:16.Behind it there will be a lot of cloud and there will be some murky
:50:17. > :50:22.conditions and some mist and fog. Specially so around the hills and
:50:23. > :50:27.coasts. It will be a humid night for England and Wales. Temperatures not
:50:28. > :50:30.below 16 Celsius. Tomorrow we start with rain in Scotland continuing to
:50:31. > :50:34.move north. Behind it, although it will be a cloudy start, the cloud
:50:35. > :50:38.will break and we will see some sunshine. Some of us will have a
:50:39. > :50:44.taste of summer. 28 Celsius in the Channel Islands. For some 23 or 24.
:50:45. > :50:49.If you're stuck under the rain in the north it will be considerably
:50:50. > :50:55.cooler with temperatures in the mid to high teens. For Wednesday, we
:50:56. > :51:02.still have the rain in Scotland, moving slowly north-east wards.
:51:03. > :51:08.Behind it some cloud to start with and temperatures lower. And it will
:51:09. > :51:12.be breezy. At the moment were bringing in southerly winds, but it
:51:13. > :51:19.changes to a fresher westerly wind. Thank you. So good weather for the
:51:20. > :51:22.eclipse? Tonight there will be a fair bit of cloud. The next couple
:51:23. > :51:29.of days there will be a fair amount of cloud. We could do with better
:51:30. > :51:38.conditions. I know having spent many an evening dancing with you, you do
:51:39. > :51:46.a good Bonnie Tyler. Too much information. We are not going to go
:51:47. > :51:50.there. Oh, we are. When Steph arrived at work, you made a demand,
:51:51. > :51:55.saying I won't do the programme talking about the eclipse without a
:51:56. > :52:04.bit of Tyler. This is for you. There is a reason. # I really need you
:52:05. > :52:18.don't # Forever's going to start tonight... . You were doing it
:52:19. > :52:27.earlier. Wait for it. # Nothing I can say... A Total Eclipse Of The
:52:28. > :52:40.Heart! Bonnie Tyler will be singing that while the eclipse. There is a
:52:41. > :52:48.reason. Bonnie Tyler will be singing that song on a cruise ship called
:52:49. > :52:53.The Eclipse. The actual eclipse is a more important story and we have
:52:54. > :52:57.joined by a professor of physics. You can tell us nothing about Bonnie
:52:58. > :53:02.Tyler, but you can tell us about the eclipse. It is the first time in a
:53:03. > :53:06.century it has happened in the United States. What is remarkable is
:53:07. > :53:11.this is going across the United States from the west coast to the
:53:12. > :53:16.east coast. So the track of totality will be visible across the United
:53:17. > :53:20.States and millions of people live within the path of totality and many
:53:21. > :53:28.other millions will see it. You mentioned millions of people, that
:53:29. > :53:34.is genuinely happening, we spoke to two eclipse chasers, one from
:53:35. > :53:41.Ireland and small towns in places like Montana, which usually has
:53:42. > :53:45.7,000 residents, now has 100,000. Yes and it is remarkable to have an
:53:46. > :53:57.eclipse passing through such a land mass. Just the eclipse is over the
:53:58. > :54:02.ocean and maybe hit a small amount of uninhabited land. But the whole
:54:03. > :54:08.track is where people can get to it. That does make it remarkable. Why is
:54:09. > :54:14.it so rare and what happens? Total eclipses are not that rare, they
:54:15. > :54:19.happen about every 18 months. But what is relatively rare is to have
:54:20. > :54:26.one in the major sort of populated country. What happens is the moon is
:54:27. > :54:35.coming between the earth and the sun. And by a sort of remarkable
:54:36. > :54:40.coincidence the moon is about 400 times smaller than the sun. But it
:54:41. > :54:44.is about 400 times nearer and the size in the sky is basically the
:54:45. > :54:50.apparent size is sort of almost identical and so that means when the
:54:51. > :54:55.moon moves across the sun, it perfectly blocked out the surface of
:54:56. > :54:59.the season and the all the light from the sun is blocked. And you
:55:00. > :55:05.should remind us about viewing it. There are points you can view wit
:55:06. > :55:12.the naked eye. You should never look at the sun with the naked eye. In an
:55:13. > :55:17.eclipse the moon moves across the sun and will block out a bit and
:55:18. > :55:22.then moves across and covers it. In all that period, which we call a
:55:23. > :55:29.partial eclipse, there is still some light from the sun and you should
:55:30. > :55:32.not look with the naked eye. You need special eclipse glasses,
:55:33. > :55:38.special dark filters to make it safe. Not ordinary sun glasses, it
:55:39. > :55:44.has to be special eclipse glasses. But at the point of totality, when
:55:45. > :55:51.the sun goes dark and it is blocked out. At that point, the total
:55:52. > :55:57.eclipse, you can look with the naked eye. Then all you're seeing is the
:55:58. > :56:02.very faint light from the outer atmosphere and then it is safe to
:56:03. > :56:07.look. That is the real excitement of a total eclipse. Probably best not
:56:08. > :56:14.to look at it. In totality if you're there you can. But here what we will
:56:15. > :56:19.see it won't. We remember from 1999 when people start cheering the bird
:56:20. > :56:28.song goes away and the birds think it is night-time. It is remarkable.
:56:29. > :56:32.I was in the Channel Island and we were one of the only points in the
:56:33. > :56:35.British Isles where the weather was actually just about decent enough,
:56:36. > :56:40.is cleared for about a minute the cloud and we were able to see the
:56:41. > :56:50.totality through a gap in the clouds and got to see the Corona. The next
:56:51. > :56:56.one here is not to 2019. We have a wait. Thank you.
:56:57. > :56:59.Sales of new cars may be falling, but it seems we're
:57:00. > :57:13.Who have you got there, Sean? I have Luke and chrl. Charlie. Morning
:57:14. > :57:23.lads, you having fun? The rain has started. You cursed us earlier. But
:57:24. > :57:29.they're having a great time. People are buying more motor homes. Why is
:57:30. > :57:35.that? Frank, you represent the industry, the national caravan
:57:36. > :57:42.council, why has there been such an increase in sales? Generally it is
:57:43. > :57:48.the staycation trend and people staying in UK whether in caravans or
:57:49. > :57:54.holiday homes. This seems to be the trend, backed up by national stat is
:57:55. > :57:59.tibs. One reason car sales went up, people had access to car finance
:58:00. > :58:04.loans. Is that a reason motor homes have seen an increase? It is one of
:58:05. > :58:08.reasons, the personal contract purchase, opportunities and other
:58:09. > :58:12.finance options are making it more affordable for people to get into
:58:13. > :58:16.the leisure lifestyle. One of the other factors is the increased
:58:17. > :58:23.opportunity to rent, particularly motor homes and try the product
:58:24. > :58:28.before you buy. Are you worried some is based on loans that are not
:58:29. > :58:33.sustainable? No the lenders have to operate under strict guidelines to
:58:34. > :58:39.make sure all lending is responsible. We are going to look
:58:40. > :58:43.inside. These guys, the Butcher family bought this caravan about two
:58:44. > :58:49.years ago. The kids don't get a drink I see. No. Judy, what made you
:58:50. > :58:55.think, we need an upgrade of a caravan? We looked at how hold the
:58:56. > :59:02.kids were and decided if we bought one two years ago, the kids would
:59:03. > :59:08.get about ten years out of it. If we bought it later we wouldn't get much
:59:09. > :59:14.use. What are the costs. This us with about ?18,000. Compared to one
:59:15. > :59:19.you had before, ?18,000, everyone talks of cheaper holidays, that is a
:59:20. > :59:25.lot? Yes but we get our money's worth. We can go away at the drop of
:59:26. > :59:30.a hat and we take everything with you and the kids have everything.
:59:31. > :59:33.You need the money up front. What is the best thing about this caravan,
:59:34. > :59:40.compared to the last one? The biggest beds. You're a big fan of
:59:41. > :59:48.the bigger toilet? Yes. And it has a shower. Luxury, a shower and a
:59:49. > :59:59.bigger toilet and everyone's happy and it is raining.
:00:00. > :00:10.From escaping a machete wielding thief in Chile,
:00:11. > :00:13.to almost drowning twice, to a near miss with a passing lorry,
:00:14. > :00:18.it seems our next guest has more lives than a cat.
:00:19. > :00:21.In her first non-fiction book, the author Maggie O'Farrell
:00:22. > :00:23.recounts her no less than 17 brushes with death.
:00:24. > :00:31.We're pleased to say Maggie joins us now - safe and well.
:00:32. > :00:42.The thing in Chile, explain to us. Javed these things throughout your
:00:43. > :00:48.life -- you have had these things. You have catalogued them. There is
:00:49. > :00:52.something universal about a near death experience, we have all had
:00:53. > :00:56.them, some more serious than others and I wanted to write about it, it
:00:57. > :01:02.was actually for my daughter. It began as a private project
:01:03. > :01:10.because... It was not meant to be public? Not at all, I was writing it
:01:11. > :01:17.for myself and my children. My middle daughter had a severe
:01:18. > :01:21.immunology disorder and severe allergies so she often goes into
:01:22. > :01:25.anaphylactic shock without any warning. She has had a lot more
:01:26. > :01:29.brushes with death than most people for an eight-year-old and this came
:01:30. > :01:35.as a private project for her because I wanted to help her understand or
:01:36. > :01:40.normalise these experiences and to show her she was not alone. What
:01:41. > :01:46.does she think of it? She is only eight! But one day she can read it.
:01:47. > :01:52.We known you for writing brilliant fiction but how difficult was it to
:01:53. > :01:55.write this? The nuts and bolts of constructing a paragraph and a
:01:56. > :02:01.chapter felt oddly familiar but there were times I felt I was being
:02:02. > :02:06.pulled up like a horse with a bridle by my fictional habits, thinking it
:02:07. > :02:09.would be great if I could set this in front! But I had to stick to the
:02:10. > :02:17.truth! Tell others about the incident in Chile. Some are more
:02:18. > :02:22.serious than others, I was ill as a child, and I was backpacking in
:02:23. > :02:26.Chile and we were walking beside a lake. We passed a man walking in the
:02:27. > :02:30.other direction and I thought nothing of it and a couple of
:02:31. > :02:33.minutes later I felt somebody grabbed me from behind and it was
:02:34. > :02:37.odd because I did not think it was anything but I saw my husband Buk
:02:38. > :02:42.face and I realised it was serious and he was holding a machete to my
:02:43. > :02:47.neck and he wanted money. That is really scary. And the opening
:02:48. > :02:56.chapter is about a similar experience, when someone else... I
:02:57. > :03:00.was hiking as a teenager on my own and I met someone and I knew the
:03:01. > :03:04.minute I saw him I was in trouble. Particularly as a young girl that is
:03:05. > :03:08.an instinct you have to develop I think. It is amazing the number of
:03:09. > :03:13.women who read that and said they had the same thing that happened to
:03:14. > :03:16.me, maybe in a bar or at a bus stop, but you can look at someone and
:03:17. > :03:21.think, this is serious and this person could harm me and you learn
:03:22. > :03:26.to develop ways to get out of those situations. He did not harm you but
:03:27. > :03:30.he went on to harm someone else? Yes, very seriously. I did tell the
:03:31. > :03:34.police but they did not take what I said seriously and unfortunately he
:03:35. > :03:39.did harm somebody else. Has it giving you a taste for nonfiction or
:03:40. > :03:43.will you wouldn't want to best known for? I never thought I would write a
:03:44. > :03:48.memoir, I always said I never would, but I would never say never. You
:03:49. > :03:57.have to explain the significance of the title. What is the I am, I am
:03:58. > :04:05.questioned of it comes from a novel by Sylvia Plath. There is a moment
:04:06. > :04:10.when she is sitting at a funeral of a friend, and she feels her heart
:04:11. > :04:16.beating and she thinks it is saying to, I am, I am. It is your survival
:04:17. > :04:21.instinct and your body will always kick in to save you. What you have
:04:22. > :04:25.you got coming up next? I have started a novel which is quite
:04:26. > :04:29.exciting, it is quite nice to return to that familiar ground and quite a
:04:30. > :04:34.relief to be able to make stuff up again! Do you have a different
:04:35. > :04:39.process, changing the way you do things? Like a chair you write in
:04:40. > :04:43.for your fiction? Or do it differently or time it differently?
:04:44. > :04:50.I have two desks which sounds a bit odd! I have one to do all my e-mails
:04:51. > :04:57.and send them to school and order stuff and books and things online
:04:58. > :05:03.and the other has nothing else on it and I can write on it. It is nice to
:05:04. > :05:07.be able to walk away from all the stuff and go somewhere us to do some
:05:08. > :05:14.writing. I have a vision of an old, tatty death you do the writing on!
:05:15. > :05:15.It's quite nice, actually! Thank you very much for coming in.
:05:16. > :05:21.Maggie's book is called "I am, I am, I am: Seventeen Brushes with Death".
:05:22. > :05:24.In just a few moments we'll be speaking to the actor Josh O'Connor,
:05:25. > :05:27.who stars in the film God's Own Country.
:05:28. > :05:30.But first, let's take a last, brief look at the headlines
:05:31. > :07:11.I'll be back with the lunchtime news at 1.30pm on BBC One.
:07:12. > :07:23.I know that you love the Yorkshire hills, such a beautiful part of the
:07:24. > :07:23.world. Set to the backdrop of rolling,
:07:24. > :07:26.Yorkshire hills, God's Own Country has been dubbed Britain's answer
:07:27. > :07:28.to Brokeback Mountain. It explores the life of a local
:07:29. > :07:31.sheep farmer and his relationship The film has already scooped
:07:32. > :07:34.the Best British Feature award at the Edinburgh International Film
:07:35. > :07:36.Festival. In a moment, we'll speak to one
:07:37. > :08:22.of it's stars - Josh O'Connor - When I was a kid I thought I would
:08:23. > :08:33.never leave my farm. It's beautiful here but lonely.
:08:34. > :08:37.Josh O'Connor plays farmer's son Johnny in God's Own Country.
:08:38. > :08:40.And you might also recognise him from the likes of The Durrells
:08:41. > :08:51.That is what struck me, how different you are in this compare to
:08:52. > :08:55.other things. It's fair to say you're quite posh lad! In this you
:08:56. > :09:03.are a full on Yorkshire sheep farmer! It is totally different to
:09:04. > :09:07.Cheltenham spa, where I'm from! Yorkshire was like a whole new
:09:08. > :09:12.experience, and that was probably what was so interesting about the
:09:13. > :09:16.job and the role, with stripping everything back and creating someone
:09:17. > :09:17.totally different to myself. Tell us a bit about your character.
:09:18. > :09:28.Brokeback -- Johnny is living a life where it
:09:29. > :09:33.is closed off totally dummy is trying to run the farm in very
:09:34. > :09:38.difficult times and conditions -- he is trying to run the farm. He wakes
:09:39. > :09:43.up and goes and feed the sheep, working all hours, coming back, he
:09:44. > :09:49.has no time for any emotional relationship and he is closed off to
:09:50. > :09:57.the world. And so it is not an option for him. And then this guy
:09:58. > :10:06.comes in and opens up to a more hopeful lifestyle. We don't want to
:10:07. > :10:12.ruin the end, but it matches the landscape, it is quite a bleak
:10:13. > :10:21.story. Hopefully it is a story of hope, which I don't think we often
:10:22. > :10:27.see in cinema. But certainly it is a bleak surrounding. Francis Lee, the
:10:28. > :10:32.director, has purposely not looked at the landscape and not made it to
:10:33. > :10:37.pretty because I don't think it is necessary... We all see it as very
:10:38. > :10:41.pretty but for the farmer it is working, it is land, where he works.
:10:42. > :10:48.It is not necessarily as beautiful as I see it. And we saw a tiny bit,
:10:49. > :10:54.there is quite a lot of animals in this, where you actually doing that
:10:55. > :11:01.all yourself? How did you know what to do? It is all for real. We both
:11:02. > :11:05.worked on farms in Yorkshire for the two weeks before filming. I worked
:11:06. > :11:11.on a farm that we see in the film. Every day I would get up and
:11:12. > :11:18.actually be a farmer. Did you go full accent for the two weeks? Full
:11:19. > :11:23.accent! It was completely, we threw ourselves into it. And I now know
:11:24. > :11:28.and can say for sure that I don't want to be a farmer and I'm
:11:29. > :11:34.definitely an actor! I bet you have more respect for them? 100%, it is
:11:35. > :11:40.an insanely hard job but all the lambing and everything is for real.
:11:41. > :11:42.The film is doing well and has been picking up awards, likened to
:11:43. > :11:47.Brokeback Mountain. What do the accolades mean and the way it has
:11:48. > :11:52.been accepted critically? It has been a complete roller-coaster from
:11:53. > :11:55.going to Sundance at the beginning of the year and the response we had
:11:56. > :12:02.in the States was completely amazing. Such wonderful views from
:12:03. > :12:07.audiences and responses. And from there to now where we were actually
:12:08. > :12:12.see the film released and the general public get to see it, that
:12:13. > :12:16.is incredible author and being likened to Brokeback Mountain, of
:12:17. > :12:20.course we loved that film, how can you not? But in many ways it is very
:12:21. > :12:24.different and deals with different topics. But the response has been
:12:25. > :12:28.incredible and we are very proud of it. And as we said, it is not the
:12:29. > :12:36.only thing you are working on because you're filming again for The
:12:37. > :12:44.Durrells. We are. And that is in Corfu, very different to Yorkshire!
:12:45. > :12:48.Very different! But I love Corfu, I loved Yorkshire. There is the
:12:49. > :12:55.British landscape which I think is more suited to me than Corfu. Are
:12:56. > :13:01.you saying generally that the driving rain on the North Yorkshire
:13:02. > :13:04.Moors! Yes! There is something rugged and beautiful about
:13:05. > :13:11.Yorkshire. That really comes across in the film. I think so. The rain
:13:12. > :13:16.seems to come upwards and sideways and you are battered by it! That is
:13:17. > :13:19.the best rain! You want to be drenched! Good luck with it and
:13:20. > :13:20.thank you for coming in. God's Own Country is out
:13:21. > :13:23.on September the 1st. That's about it
:13:24. > :13:24.from us this morning. I'll be back tomorrow
:13:25. > :13:31.with Naga from 6am.
