21/08/2017 Breakfast

Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Steph McGovern.

Tougher sentences for people who commit hate crimes online.

New guidelines mean abuse on social media sites will now be treated

as seriously as offences committed in person.

Good morning, it is Monday 21 August.

Second accident involving the US Navy into Mac months. -- the second

accident involving the US Navy in two months.

We have the chimes of Big Ben live this

morning, before the clock falls silent at midday.

The chimes, and the clock, could be switched off for up to four

The weather here in London is rather damp. It will be cloudy, but it will

not be cold. For the rest of us, rain moving northwards. The best of

the sunshine in the north and east. More in 15 minutes.

Also this morning: Why police forces are asking more motorists to share

footage of bad driving captured on dash-cams.

In sport: Mo Farah signs off in style.

In his final track race in the UK, the four-time Olympic champion eases

to victory in the 3,000m in Birmingham.

And Sean is on a campsite in north Wales for us.

He is not on holiday. Good morning. Good morning. No, I am not on

holiday. I am looking at why there are booming sales and bees.

Motorhomes and caravans, I am at this well lit campsite in north

Wales to find out why. First, our main story: Hate crimes

committed online should be pursued as seriously as offences

carried out face-to-face, according to new guidelines for

prosecutors in England and Wales. The Crown Prosecution Service says

it will seek tougher penalties for abuse on social media,

which it says could lead to the type of extremist hate seen

in Charlottesville in the US. Rhodri Philipps, the fourth

Viscount St Davids, jailed last month for racially

aggravated threats on Facebook against Gina Miller,

the businesswoman behind She said she felt violated

by his shocking comments, just one of many online

attacks she suffered. Now, the Crown Prosecution Service

says these kinds of crimes must be dealt with as robustly

as offences on the street. It is promising a tougher response,

to build public confidence. There were more than 15,000

hate-crime prosecutions in 2015-2016, the

highest number ever. And a third of those convicted

saw their sentence increased. But the number of cases referred

to police by persecutors fell by almost 10%, a drop the CPS says

it is investigating. With the explosion in the use of

social media over the last few years, it is very important that the

prosecuting authorities, the CPS, the police, are as up-to-date as

possible in making sure that they are using the law to its fullest

extent. There is no hiding place for these perpetrators. The law is

clear, and if you persist in these sorts of behaviour, you will be

detected, caught and punished. Some critics say the police

and prosecutors moved too slowly and that means people

are reluctant to come forward. But the CPS hopes its new guidance

will create the best possible chance of achieving justice

for all victims. Spanish police are exploring

a possible link between Thursday's attacks in Spain and assaults

by so-called Islamic State Authorities believe the iman,

Abdelbaki Es Satty, may have radicalised younger members

of the cell which carried out the Las Ramblas and

Cambrils atrocities. They are also investigating

whether he was involved in the bombings at Brussels airport

and a metro station in the city, Our Europe correspondent

Gavin Lee is in Barcelona. What more do we know about the imam,

Abdelbaki Es Satty? There is a man-hunt is still

happening, isn't that? Yes, to bring you where we are now, so we have a

man-hunt for one person. This is a 24-year-old Moroccan. Police say

they are still looking for him. He may have gone to France. They have

increased border controls but they say they have identified the driver,

and they have not yet confirmed that this is the driver. What we are

getting a clearer picture on is the potential organiser, the ringleader

in all of this, this is Abdelbaki Es Satty. This is someone who is

believed to have accidentally killed himself in an explosion in a day

before the attacks on Thursday, when he was trying to prepare bomb

material. Reports here in Spain are saying that he might have spent time

in Welsh around the time of the Brussels attacks. The Belgian man at

is telling newspapers and his neighbour is telling our team where

he used to live here in Spain, that he potentially was somebody who was

radicalising that group. That seems to be where the investigation is

centred, but the man-hunt is still continuing.

We will be hearing from two Brits who were in Barcelona and witnessed

The US navy says ten of its sailors are missing and five have been

injured after one of its warships collided with an oil tanker off

It is the second serious collision involving an American warship

Our correspondent joins us from Singapore. Hello to you. Thank you

for coming on the programme this morning. What is the latest we know?

Well, the latest information we have received from the US Navy's public

affairs department is that ten American sailors are still missing

as a result of the collision that took place earlier this morning, in

the early hours of Monday morning. Five were injured, but four of those

five sailors had been evacuated via Singaporean helicopter to a hospital

in Singapore, with nonlifethreatening injuries. That is

what the US Navy is calling those injuries, and the other sailor does

not need any further medical attention, according to the US Navy.

Now, from what we have been told by the public affairs department,

earlier this morning there was a collision between the US warship the

John S McCain, and a commercial oil and chemical tanker, a Liberian

flagged oil tanker, substantially larger than this American warship.

And this collision took place off the coast of Singapore in the

Straits of Malacca, a very congested waterway.

Military exercises by South Korean and American armed forces

are going ahead, despite protests from the North.

The drills are conducted every year to prepare for an attack

The latest come amid heightened tensions, following an exchange

of threats between Pyongyang and Washington.

Motorists in Wales will be asked to pass footage captured

on dash-cams to police, in an effort to clamp down

A pilot scheme in north Wales has seen action taken against more

than 100 drivers over the past year, after they were filmed

With resources, we cannot be everywhere for everyone, and it

gives us an extra set of eyes on the road, 24/7, recording what is

footage that can be used in court. We will be speaking to an inspector

later in the morning. It is really scary stuff.

Big Ben will fall silent this lunchtime, and won't sound

It is part of a major refurbishment of the Houses of Parliament,

which could see the bells muted for longest period in their history.

Since 1859, Big Ben has chimed through the reign of six monarchs

and two World Wars, with only a handful of interruptions.

However, Parliament says the bell now needs to be disconnected

for the safety of construction workers

But the plan to silence Big Ben has caused, well,

there has been a backlash from the public and politicians.

The Prime Minister, Theresa May, says she has asked the Speaker

of the Commons to look into the matter urgently,

to see whether Big Ben could

For now, Big Ben is due to be silenced until 2021,

except for special occasions, such as New Year's Eve

People are invited to gather in Parliament Square to hear

the final bongs at noon, before the Great Bell is taken

And we will have the weather from Carol.

One of Hollywood's most successful comedians,

Jerry Lewis, has died at the age of 91.

He found fame in the 1950s as one half of a double act with Dean

Jerry Lewis's goofy comedies made him the world's

With their visual gags, the cartoon-like nature of his films

I wrote the joke thinking, wouldn't it be marvellous

if the elastic face that we have, that can do so much,

wouldn't it be marvellous if our bodies were elastic?

He was born Joseph Levitch, in 1926, into a family of Jewish entertainers

Following his stage debut at the age of five, he went on to play to great

acclaim to audiences throughout New York.

Aged just 20, he teamed up with Dean Martin.

Their combination of sophistication and slapstick brought a decade

of success, during which they starred together in 16 films.

This weekend would be a perfect time for you to come out to the house,

He thrilled as a talk show host stalked by Robert De Niro

The French, who considered him a genius, awarded him

But it will be his manic comedy performances for which Jerry Lewis

I used to watch all his films. Good memories there.

And Mo Farah went out in style, didn't he? And what do you want to

see from his last race? That is the obvious one, but what I really love

is the sprint at the end. You know it is coming, and it didn't

disappoint fans yesterday. Mo Farah, Britain's most successful

middle-distance runner, has run his last

track race in the UK. The four-time Olympic champion

produced his trademark sprint finish, delighting home fans

as he won the 3,000m In their first home match

in the Premier League at the national stadium,

they lost 2-1 to Chelsea. Spurs have won only two of the 11

games they have played at Wembley Newly promoted Huddersfield Town

continued their dream start to the season with a 1-0

win over Newcastle. Manager David Wagner says the team

have surpassed his expectations, And Great Britain won

the team gold medal at the European Eventing

Championships, in Poland. Nicola Wilson also took

individual bronze. I should have known, shouldn't I,

that it would be the Mo-Bot. I should have said to see him win, but

you always know that involves... No, no. You are right! And Carol is

getting the fulfil the last bongs that we will here from Big Ben.

Today will potentially be the last time we hear those bongs for about

four years. They will be switched off for some repair work and you can

see Big Ben behind me, looking rather resplendent this morning

despite the fact that it is cloudy and wet, and the kind of work which

is being done on it is going to have some new elements installed for the

first time. And it is basically essential maintenance work being

carried out to make it much more energy efficient. I will tell you

lots more about it as we go through the course of the morning but the

umbrellas are up. It is a wet start to the day in London, and it also

was rather cloudy. But it certainly is not cold. What we have is a band

of rain cloud drifting northwards through the course of today. It will

turn heavier across Scotland and Northern Ireland later on in the

day. But this morning you can see where we have got the band of rain

extending from parts of south Wales in towards the south-west of

England, heading over towards London. Murky conditions with it as

well, but to the north that the cloud will continue to build. The

best of the sunshine today is actually going to be across eastern

parts of England and also eastern and north-eastern Scotland. But

through the day, as the rain advances northwards, eventually by

about 4pm we will be seeing it across Argyll Bute, in the

Galloway, the cloud building ahead of it but still the far north-east

hanging on to the sunshine. Moving in the north-east England, you will

see the rain through the afternoon and north-east England seeing

something much drier. Then as we can south into the Midlands, into East

Anglia and the south-east, there will still be a lot of cloud around.

Some of us still having some drizzle on and off. But for example the east

coast of East Anglia could see some sunshine. Southern counties of

England, mixed fortunes. As we move towards Hampshire, there is more

cloud but from Hampshire towards the Isles of Scilly it will be a bright

afternoon with some of us seeing some sunshine, especially close to

the coast. That is the same for Wales. The rest of Wales, fairly

cloudy and quite murky, the rain in the north and the rain also

extending into Northern Ireland. Now, through the evening and

overnight that whole band of rain continues its journey, moving

through Northern Ireland, moving through northern England, and then

moving across most of Scotland. Behind it, a lot of cloud. Again

some patchy mist and fog, some sea fog and it is going to be a humid

night tonight. Temperatures in some parts of the UK, like this morning,

not to be closer than 16 or 17 Celsius. Tomorrow we start off with

that rain advancing northwards across Scotland. After a foggy,

murky, cloudy start, for much of England and Wales it will brighten

up, with some sunshine. However, we have got showery outbreaks of rain

coming in across the south-west, moving north. That will become more

organised across Northern Ireland and western Scotland, where we could

see some heavy outbreaks of rain. But tomorrow, temperatures in the

Channel Islands could hit 28. And as we head into Wednesday we are

looking at the northern half of the country being wet, especially so

across Scotland, where the rain will be heavy at times. Further south,

variable amounts of cloud. Quite pretty, some sunny spells coming

through as well, but not quite as hot or as monkey and sticky and it

is going to be on Tuesday. So temperatures coming down a touch --

not quite as monkey and sticky as it is going to be a Tuesday. We don't

mind a bong during the weather forecast, as long as it doesn't

hinder your work. Not entirely true. There was a lot

of rain. Disappointing. She often does not need an umbrella, but it

was significant enough that she needed it. The main stories this

morning. And then we will look at the papers. The Times. Children

exposed to a huge rise in gambling adverts. And yachts sailing south

from Albert Dock. A shot from Liverpool yesterday. Many papers

have teachers of Princess Diana on the front talking about her. --

pictures. In the ?50 billion EU exit boost. A promise of 44,000 new job.

That is to do with analysis from a campaign group. A story we are

talking about. On line abuse to be treated as a hate crime. Brexit will

make the world safe. Quite a few papers showing pictures of Julian

Cadman, a seven year old British boy who is confirmed to have died in the

Barcelona terror attack. The Financial Times has a picture from

Barcelona and the service with the royals attending. Do you remember

when Donald Trump came into power? He was talking about being a

business president. The Donald Trump administration has decided to push

hard for tax reform with a controversial national security

investigation. What have you got? How important is it where a football

team plays? Writ important. We all love Wembley. -- Very important.

That headline is not from the point of view of the Spurs. People going

will love the atmosphere. It helps raise their game. Yesterday,

Tottenham Hotspur wanted it to feel more like a home stadium and it did

not work. One person working on this whole atmosphere of the stadium you

play in is Pep Guardiola. A tiny picture. This picture is him

changing the dressing rooms at the Etihad. They are circular so

everyone has to talk to everyone. You cannot hide. It is based on a

sofa like the one we have. Yeah, and similar, they have hydrobaths and

cool airjets to keep your legs cool. Do you have good public transport

manners? Yeah. Commuters in the North of England today have had a

free day of moaning, allowed to talk about what they are worried about.

They had radio and TV phoneins to express frustration. Today

officially you are allowed to moan about public transport. People moan

most days. A whole day of it. That sounds like a nightmare listening to

everyone moan for a day. People want to get to the bottom of it. Just

listen to people in the run-up to it. Don't it! OK! -- don't ruin it.

I think we can do the headlines now. The main stories this morning on

Breakfast. Online hate crimes are to be treated

as seriously as offences in person for the first time after

new guidance was given The US Navy says ten of its sailors

are missing and five have been injured after one of its warships

collided with an oil tanker off And now one of the main stories

mentioned in the headlines. Hate crimes carried out on social

media should be treated as seriously as offences committed in person,

according to new guidelines for prosecutors

in England and Wales. The plans are in response to growing

levels of abuse on platforms such as Twitter and Facebook,

and are part of a wider review We're joined by Rose Simkins,

who's the Chief Executive Thank you very much for coming to

see us this morning. Good morning. What is tricky is what is the

definition of hate crime? Many people will get messages on line

which might seem abusive. But at what point does it become a crime?

It depends on the context of what is said to. But basically, has a crime

being committed? Hate crime is not a stand-alone crime, it is

aggravation. You have to reach or break a fundamental law. You might

be committing harassment, stalking, vicious communication on line. On

the street it is assault. There has to be a crime committed. And so the

normal process takes place. Has a crime taken place? Can it be

prosecuted? It is those decisions which are critical for people. Most

people don't report hate crime on or off the Internet. We have to

encourage people to come forward and report. It is not for those

individuals to decide whether there has been a law broken or not. The

professionals go through it, like the police and the CPS. It is

difficult, really, to know exactly what can be prosecuted. That is

obviously why the CPS being more open to looking at that is important

and more open to deciding that something can be prosecuted as well.

Do the police have the resources to deal with this if this were to be

dealt with in the same way? Do they have the resources to deal with all

of those things happening in follow-up on all of those lead? That

is a real worry. The police are getting better at dealing with

reports. That is why Stop Hate UK exist. We don't believe they have

the resources. Many people don't go to them for many reasons. One of

those reasons is am I wasting their time, can this go further? It is not

just about... People don't always want to go through the criminal

justice process. What they want is someone to listen to them, to

understand, give them advice, help keep them safe. We can go through

those options with people and give them reassurance and help them speak

to the police. So it is not a filter, as such, but it is a kind of

friend who can help you get through that process. And we can try to

think of other solutions. Sometimes the solution might be a social media

company, perhaps a conversation with them about the harm being done, and

they are getting better as well. Everyone is getting better at

dealing with it, but it has a long way to go. Why is it increasing? Is

it easy to send off messages to people with so many platforms for

it? Are getting more nasty? What is it? Some people say it is moving for

the street and the Internet. It is a safer place for the perpetrator

because they think they are hidden. They are not as hidden as they may

think. And people are getting more aware of what constitutes a crime.

They think they can say anything with a freedom of speech. That comes

in the law. There are restrictions on freedom of speech. And so people

are more brave. It is easy sitting in your room to do these things. You

do not have to go out in the street and potentially put yourself at

risk, that is how people see it. So they get more bald on line. -- bold.

Social media, the police, everyone is talking about it. We have been

talking about it for 18 months. As we all talk about it, people are

going to get more aware of what they need to report and reporting will go

up. It is difficult to know how much is going on in terms of if it

growing? That sort of measure was not done a few years ago. But we

will be able to do that in the future. And we will know more about

if it is growing. But it is where many cowards lurk. It seems easy to

do. But people need to know there are still laws and they can be

caught, and people are being caught. Interesting. Thank you for coming in

to talk to us. Thank you. The weather with Carol who was under the

clock at Big Ben. Sean out at a slightly wet... I got a comedic

message from him. He said I am lucky to not be in this rain.

message from him. He said I am lucky no fluff later on. If you can think

of any films to watch with your pets, let us know on Twitter.

I'm back with the latest from the BBC London Newsroom

Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Steph McGovern.

We will bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment,

but also on Breakfast this morning: They became a symbol of unity

following the Arena attack, but worker bees have long been

Before 7:00am, we will explore why they are so synonymous

We will see why police in Wales want motorists to have a second set

And after 9:00am: One of the stars of the film being dubbed

Britain's Brokeback Mountain will be here to tell us more about it.

But now, a summary of this morning's main news:

Hate crimes committed online should be treated as seriously as offences

carried out face-to-face, according to new guidelines

for prosecutors in England and Wales.

The Crown Prosecution Service says it will seek tougher penalties

for abuse on social media, which it says could lead to the type

of extremist hate seen in Charlottesville in the US.

The move is part of a wider review of such crimes by the CPS.

With the explosion in the use of social media over the last few

years, it is very important that the prosecuting authorities,

the CPS, the police, are as up-to-date as possible

in making sure that they're using the law to its fullest extent.

There's no hiding place for these perpetrators.

The law is clear, and if you persist in this sort of behaviour,

you will be detected, caught and punished.

Spanish police are investigating a possible link between Thursday's

attacks in Spain and assaults by so-called Islamic State

Authorities believe the imam Abdelbaki Es Satty may have

radicalised younger members of the cell which carried out

the Las Ramblas and Cambrils atrocities.

They are also investigating whether he was involved

in the bombings at Brussels airport and a metro station in the city

which killed 32 people in March 2016.

The suspected mastermind of the Barcelona and a Cambrils

attacks, Abdelbaki Es Satty, is the imam of

this mosque in Ripoll, in north-western Spain.

He is being blamed by his father of two of the attackers

TRANSLATION: He took these young, impressionable minds,

messed around with their brains, and now they're dead.

The imam is believed to have been killed in an accidental

explosion at a bomb factory, south of Barcelona, a day before

Police are now investigating his movements across

According to the mayor of the Belgian town of Vilvoorde,

he was there between January and March last year,

right before the deadly attacks on the Maalbeek metro Station

It is being reported that the Audi used in the attack was caught

on camera earlier in Paris, and one of

the members of the cell visited Zurich last year.

Police believe the suspected driver of last week's van attack may

have escaped to France, and are now

probing the attackers' links across Europe.

The US navy says ten of its sailors are missing and five have been

injured after one of its warships collided with an oil tanker off

It is the second serious collision involving an American warship

President Trump has said his thoughts and prayers

Military exercises by South Korean and American armed forces

are going ahead, despite protests from the North.

The drills are conducted every year to prepare for an attack

The latest come amid heightened tensions, following an exchange

of threats between Pyongyang and Washington.

Lament Mac more people will die from fires if European safety guidelines

are not implemented. A letter has been sent to the Prime Minister in

response to the Grenfell Tower fire, which it is thought was started by a

fridge freezer. It is warned some products are still being sold with a

flammable plastic backing. Big Ben will ring out today

for what could be the last time in four years, as the Houses

of Parliament undergo The bells will be muted

for the longest period Some MPs have criticised the plan,

saying the bell's chimes are an important part

of national life. And Carol will be taking them in

every hour and giving us the weather as well. The most photographed

building in the United Kingdom. You can use that. I will. Did you know

it is the most photographed building in the United Kingdom?

Later today, a total solar eclipse will sweep across the United States

The movement of the moon between the earth and sun will turn

day into night for 2.5 minutes across 14 US states.

In the UK, a partial solar eclipse will be visible just before sunset,

as the moon appears to take a bite out of the sun.

You have to remember not to stare directly at the sun. You have to

look through a filter, cardboard glasses. If you go online and search

what you can do and what you can't do, it is very clear. You can see

how to build your own, to protect your eyes. And don't stare at the

sun. As if I would. And we are excited, did you know Total Eclipse

of the Heart... Bonnie Tyler will be singing that on a cruise later. Is

that why you have been singing that all morning? And reasons, yes. We

like to start every morning with Total Eclipse of the Heart. The

album version six minutes and 59 seconds, so the eclipse only meant

to last two minutes and 40 seconds, so she is going to have to start

early, or... And you don't want to get the timing wrong, there is that

big crescendo. From Bonnie Tyler to Mo Farah. A little bit of sadness

seeing him win his last race in Britain. And we certainly need him

now, tonight. Mo Farah has won his last ever

track race in Britain, with victory in the Men's 3,000m

at the Birmingham Diamond League The 34-year-old took his sixth

World Championship gold in the 10,000m at this month's

London World Championships, adding to the four

Olympic titles he holds. His last ever track race will be

next week in Zurich. After that, he is

switching to road racing. What people forget is, it becomes

like something of a hobby, something I enjoyed, it had become a job.

Because I love it, I love what I do, and that is part of it. But at the

same time, it gets a little hard when you have so much pressure you

just can't go anywhere. But now I am going to road, it will be a new

game, a new mind, and I am excited. Elsewhere in Birmingham, CJ Ujah,

who was part of the sprint relay team which won gold

at the World Championships, He beat his fellow Britons

in the field, with a time Tottenham started life

at their new home, Marcos Alonso was Chelsea's star

man, giving them a first-half lead After an own-goal drew Spurs level,

Alonso struck with two minutes remaining, to give Antonio Conte's

side a first win of the season. Spurs have won only two of the 11

games they have played at Wembley For sure, a big win. It is not easy

to play against Tottenham, and to win. I consider Tottenham are really

strong team. And for us, it was very important, this win.

Huddersfield Town's terrific start to life

in the Premier League continued yesterday.

Aaron Mooy's second-half strike gave them a 1-0 victory over Newcastle.

It leaves Huddersfield with maximum points from two games,

There was a minute's silence before Barcelona's match against Real Betis

last night, the team's first match since the terrorist attacks

Instead of their normal names, players wore shirts with "Barcelona"

Great Britain have won the team gold medal

at the European Eventing Championships, in Poland.

Nicola Wilson also took individual bronze.

Riding Bulana in the show-jumping, Wilson could afford two penalties

to secure the team gold, but managed a perfect round.

Germany claimed team silver, with Sweden finishing third.

I can't put into words just how impressed I am by how the riders

rode, and stuck to the system. You can probably hear I am a bit

emotional about it, but that is not a bad thing. I just can't be more

proud, yes. The USA have won golf's Solheim Cup,

after a comprehensive 16.5-11.5 The Americans had taken

a commanding, five-point lead And it proved too much,

despite a spirited Europe performance, Lizette Salas

holing the winning putt. The United States have now won five

of the last seven competitions. I am just so proud of how hard they

have fought. I mean, it is not easy coming out here on a Sunday, being

so far behind. But I am proud of them. They were out there fighting

for every single match and every single point. So what can I say?

Just congratulate the USA, because they have played some or some golf.

-- awesome golf. Zlatan Ibrahimovic has

suggested his knee is almost strong enough to return to football,

by posting a video of himself The 35-year-old posted

the caption "Which knee?" Ibrahimovic suffered knee-ligament

damage in his first season He remains out of contract

and without a club, but is still wanted by Jose Mourinho

if he can get back to full fitness. Have we just got that on repeat? He

keeps doing it! No, it is on repeat. He could be back sooner than we

thought, do you think? Good to see that in all the twisting and turning

of football. That is him suggesting he is fit, which I think he is so

mentally strong. If he thinks he is fit and he can play again, I

wouldn't bet against him. He might be back at Manchester United sooner

than we thought. Tomorrow marks three months

since the terrorist attack on concert-goers at

the Manchester Arena, which left 22 people dead

and many more injured. In the wake of the atrocity,

a huge fundraising effort has seen more than ?18 million

raised for the victims. During that time, the worker bee

symbol has been used to demonstrate It is a motif that has long been

adopted by Manchester, as John Maguire has

been finding out. Taxi. I am hailing a London black

cab, but this one is Manchester through and through. Behind the

wheel is John. He is deeply passionate about his home city. It

would have been the world's first industrial city. The busy bee, the

worker bee, it represents that support, that standard in

solidarity, against anyone who tries to sort of affect our way of life.

And it is really poignant at the moment that the bees come right

through. The worker bee has long been one of the city's emblems,

symbolising the industriousness of its past and its people. Russell has

been adorning Manchester's walls with bees for years, but now he is

receiving more commissions than ever. On this wall, 22 bees, to

honour the 22 victims of the Arena bombing. It is a prominent spot, so

a lot of people will see it as well. And it means that people won't

forget what has happened. Even though we get over things that have

happened, people will see it and still remember, you know? It will be

a lasting kind of monument, in a way. Permanents in paint, and also

in ink, as tattoo artists have also read money -- raised money for the

victims ' families. At this children's Hospital, the largest in

the UK, I met one of the doctors who fought to save young lives after the

attack. An amazing work of community, all those things came

together at one time. So I have never seen the hospital quite so

busy, in terms of all the activity going on. Doctor Fortune wanted to

show his support and solidarity. I was chatting to some of my nursing

colleagues and said I might get a bee T-shirt or something, to which a

distinct face was pulled and after a bit of conversation I said if

somebody sponsors me maybe I will go for it. And really, one thing led to

another. I put it on Just Giving and I hoped to raise ?2500 but I hit

that within a couple of days, so I doubled my target to ?5,000, and

right now it stands at ?5,500. So it is still open, of course, if anyone

wants to donate. The money will go to the children's Hospital. Last

month, the funeral of the youngest person to die was held at Manchester

Cathedral. Saffie, just eight years old, was described by her father

during the service as a superstar in the making. 22nd bee is to be added

to the stalls in honour of those killed in the concert. It is meant

to remind us of those killed in the tragedy. Also it is meant to remind

that this place stands for a variety of things, but it is also a place of

hope. One evil, cowardly act that night, three months ago, was the

catalyst for so much good. The We Love Manchester fund has raised ?80

million and counting. As for the city and its celebrated symbol, the

worker bees are as busy as ever. The weather. Carol had her umbrella

out earlier. There is Big Ben. We are listening to the final chimes.

It is still raining. I have put my umbrella down so you can see big.

The chimes will be heard for the last time for four years at about

noon. The weather will be cloudy and pretty damp if you are coming down.

The forecast for today is cloud and rain drifting north. A look around

the country. The south has the weather front producing cloud and

rain extending across south Wales, south-west England, the south

Midlands, and the south-east. Not have the currently. High pressure

will build. The brightest skies in eastern England and Scotland. One or

two showers in the west. Through the day, that wind will advance

north-east. Four o'clock in the afternoon, it will be through

Dumfries and Galloway. But the north-east denials hanging on to the

sunshine. North-east England scene dry and bright weather. Further

south, a lot of cloud around. Drizzle at times. The east of East

Anglia, sunshine. Drawing a line from Kent to Hampshire, a lot of

cloud this afternoon. Dampness here and there. Hampshire to the Isles of

Scilly, brighter skies and sunshine coming through. That is the same for

south Wales. The rest of Wales will be cloudy and murky. Rain in the

north. That effect in Northern Ireland, where it will be heavy. --

affecting. Behind this weather front it will be cloudy with murky

conditions, especially around the coast. Hill fog. You will notice

that it will not be cold. Tomorrow it will feel quite humid. Starting

with rain in Scotland continuing to push north. A cloudy and murky start

with mist and fog in England and Wales and Northern Ireland.

Brightening up to be sunshine. In the sunshine tomorrow, 24, possibly

25. In the north under the rain, 14-15. By the time we get to

Wednesday, a bit of a north- south split. In the north of the country,

wet. The rain in Scotland at times will be heavy. Further south, breezy

and brighter. Temperatures a bit more low than today and tomorrow.

Highs into the low 20s in the south. The high teens as we go further

north. I will put my umbrella back up. You are so good. You sacrificed

yourself just to make sure we got a good view of Big Ben. And you still

look fab! I think that the rain does not even hit her. It just goes

around her. A servant to the nation. It is one of those remarkable

natural phenomena. A total eclipse. We get very excited about this. I

remember the last one. For a few moments later today... Weight, where

were you? I was 17 at the time. The moon will pass in front of the sun

causing an eerie shadow. The 14 states in the US preparing to see it

are waiting for what they call a totality. We have some eclipse

chasers, but first, Richard Friedman in Montana. You have already got the

spectacles on. How excited are you, Richard? I cannot begin to tell you

how excited I am that it has been years since it was last in the

United States. 1991. I was in Hawaii. In 1970, my wife and I were

just dating and she said to me do you want to go see the eclipse or do

you want to be with me? Which did you choose? I chose the one that led

to me being married with her for 46 years. I went with her. You have

been waiting 60 years to see one? Is that right? You have gone to some

lengths. Absolutely. This time I am not just bringing my wife, but my

daughter, her husband, and my grandchildren. Why are you so

excited? And eclipse is an extremely rare revenge. -- rare event. It is

not often it occurs. It is the most spectacular show in the world. All

of a sudden we have total darkness in the entire area, the temperature

drops, the planets and stars come out. It is almost like you are

transported to another world. And right now in the United States, the

two biggest factors I can think of are the weather and the traffic

concerning us. In some areas the weather will look good, the traffic,

well, we will find out. It is so lovely to talk to you. I hope you

and your family enjoy it. He even has the T-shirt. Good morning. I

cannot see an eclipse shirt, but you live in Northern Ireland and you are

going to the US. Yeah. This will be my 11th total solar eclipse. I am

leading a tour group with a UK-based company. I just went to the

debriefing event where I was sharing what it was like to see a total

solar eclipse. Some people have seen it before. The majority of my group,

actually, this will be their first time. In a few hours' time, we will

be waking up, getting out of a hotel, going on a gondola to 9000

feet to a resort with amazing beautiful views. We are not

stressed. We don't need to hit the road. We don't need to talk about

traffic. It will be loudly, but it will be clearing for totality time.

-- cloudy. It will be my 11th. I only remember the one we had in

1999. It is a bit eerie. The birds stop singing because they think it

is night-time. They go quiet. There is always in voluntary singing.

Everyone is hugging. It feels special. Most people have seen a

partial eclipse. But when you are in the path of totality, it is like

Warren in another world. All of the things that happened, the way the

temperature drops, the changes of the light, everything is different.

The moments before totality when someone turns the dimmer switch

down. You are plunged into darkness dramatically. You feel so euphoric

and you have a bit of a fear because the world should not be that way. It

feels intense. And when looking at the eclipsed sun, it is like nothing

you have ever seen in your life, or just inspiring. It makes you feel

insignificant, connected to the universe. We understand how huge the

universe is. It is profound. It impacts many of us who go on to

chase these. Thank you. Fascinating insight. We will talk about it later

on. And, again, don't look at the sun directly. That is really

important. We will speak to someone later on with proper advice. I will

let them talk about that. And in between, we will be singing a lot of

Bonny Tyler, Total Eclipse of the Heart. And I know someone who is

good at singing that. Sean. Don't put me on the spot. I might do it a

little later in the morning. We are talking about Caravan sales.

Motorhomes like those as well. Sales are up on last year quite a bit.

Sales of new cars may be falling, but it seems we're buying more

You are from the industry. Why are sales up so much? People are

choosing to holiday more and more in the UK, which is great. They want

more holidays and more frequent trips of shorter duration. That is

helping the market. You have had a good boost in the last year the

Billy yeah. We have been the best performing sector. It is really

appearing for everyone. I will go inside this one. These guys recently

upgraded. You bought at 1.5 years ago? Thank you for having me. Yes.

One year ago we decided to upgrade. We wanted to make the most of having

one. A big decision a year and a half ago. You could have not bought

another one and had more holidays abroad. Why did you stick with this?

We love the flexibility of being able to go anywhere we want in the

country. The children love being in the UK. We just put all of our stuff

in here and have a great time going around the country. The children

look like they love it. What is your favourite thing about the new one?

It has bigger beds. And you are a fan of... What was it? Their right

to make double beds in here, not one stop at -- There are two double

beds. Thanks. Bigger beds. That is crucial. And now it is

The fluff issue is a real one, but it sounds like a good idea. Back

soon. Tougher sentences for people

who commit hate crimes online. New guidelines mean abuse on social

media sites will now be treated as seriously as offences

committed in person. Also this morning: Second accident

involving the US Navy Also this morning: Why police forces

are asking more motorists to share footage of bad driving

captured on dash-cams. We are in north Wales at a caravan

park, looking at why sales of caravans like these, owned by the

Which is, are booming. -- owned by the Butchers.

In sport: Mo Farah signs off in style.

In his final track race in the UK, the four-time Olympic champion eases

to victory in the 3,000m in Birmingham.

The chimes of Big Ben will fall silent today. Carol is there for us

this morning. That's right, at midday today we will hear them for

the last time up the four years, for repair work. If you are coming to

London to hear them for the last time in a while, drink something

waterproof. It is cloudy, damp drizzly this afternoon and we are

looking at a band of rain moving north. The best sunshine in the UK

will be in eastern areas. More details in 15 minutes.

First, our main story: Hate crimes committed online should be pursued

as seriously as offences carried out face-to-face,

according to new guidelines for prosecutors in England and Wales.

The Crown Prosecution Service says it will seek tougher penalties

for abuse on social media, which it says could lead to the type

of extremist hate seen in Charlottesville, in the US.

Rhodri Colwyn Philipps, the fourth Viscount St Davids,

jailed last month for racially aggravated threats on Facebook

against Gina Miller, the businesswoman behind

She said she felt violated by his shocking comments,

just one of many online attacks she suffered.

Now, the Crown Prosecution Service says these kinds of crimes must be

dealt with as robustly as offences on the street.

It is promising a tougher response, to build public confidence.

There were more than 15,000 hate-crime prosecutions

in 2015-2016, the highest number ever, and a third of those convicted

But the number of cases referred to police by persecutors fell

by almost 10%, a drop the CPS says it is investigating.

With the explosion in the use of social media over the last few

years, it is very important that the prosecuting authorities,

the CPS, the police, are as up-to-date as possible

in making sure that they're using the law to its fullest extent.

There's no hiding place for these perpetrators.

The law is clear, and if you persist in these sorts of behaviour,

you'll be detected, caught and punished.

Some critics say that police and prosecutors moved too slowly

to apprehend online abusers, and that means people are reluctant

But the CPS hopes its new guidance will create the best possible chance

of achieving justice for all victims.

And in a few minutes we will be speaking to the Director of Public

Prosecutions about those guidelines. Stay tuned for that.

Spanish police are exploring a possible link between Thursday's

attacks in Spain and assaults by so-called Islamic State

Authorities believe the imam Abdelbaki Es Satty may have

radicalised younger members of the cell which carried out

the Las Ramblas and Cambrils atrocities.

They are also investigating whether he was involved

in the bombings at Brussels Airport and a metro station in the city

Our Europe correspondent Gavin Lee is in Barcelona.

So more information coming out now about the people involved in this,

in particular this Imam. Yes, we are getting a clearer picture, I think,

today as to his involvement. Police raided his empty property in this

picturesque Pyrenees town, about 1.5 hours from here, over the weekend.

And they believe, or certainly it is understood, that he killed himself

accidentally on Wednesday the day before the attacks. He was trying to

prepare home-made bombs in a house where 12 men, police say, had been

plotting this attack was six months. An explosion happened, there were

105 canisters of butane and other home-made bomb-making equipment

here, and the reason they carried out this attack on Las Ramblas and

the second one in Cambrils, on the coast, further south, was because

they had to quickly act. Ultimately he was the target and they are

looking at whether he was linked to the Madrid attacks, to the Belgian

attacks as well, some people say he had spent time there. But the hunt

continues for another man, who is the main focus of the man-hunt right

now. The US navy says ten of its sailors

are missing and five have been injured after one of its warships

collided with an oil tanker off It is the second serious collision

involving an American warship BBC's Mat Morrison joins

us from Singapore. So at about 5:20am Singapore time,

there was a collision in Singapore between the USS John S McCain and a

Liberian oil tanker. The oil tanker was far larger than the USS McCain.

We are seeing pictures of the damage resulting from the collision and the

resulting missing ten sailors, as you mentioned, and five who are

injured. Four have been evacuated and are being treated in hospital in

Singapore. One was treated on site. So the seventh Fleet, which oversees

naval operations for the US, is going to determine exactly what

happened and how this collision, as you say, the second such collision

in two months, could have possibly happened. The last one leading to a

loss of life. We will have to see what happens in regards to this

instance. And you can see quite clearly the damage on the side of

the US warship. Military exercises by South Korean

and American armed forces are going ahead despite

protests from the North. The drills are conducted every year,

to prepare for an attack The latest come amid heightened

tensions, following an exchange of threats between

Pyongyang and Washington. More people will die from fires

started by faulty whitegoods if ministers do not act

to implement safety guidelines. That is according to

the London Fire Brigade, They have sent a letter

to Theresa May in response to the Grenfell Tower fire,

which it is thought was started It warns some products

are still being sold Big Ben will ring out today

for what could be the last time in four years, as the Houses

of Parliament undergo The bells will be muted

for the longest period Some MPs have criticised the plan,

saying the bell's chimes are an important part

of national life. Did you know that it was the most

photographed building in the UK? You can't just half that offers your own

stat! I found out today that the first bell they put up their cracked

because they did not angle it correctly. And the hammer, which

weighs about 20 kg, was so powerful it whacked through the bell, so they

had to replace it. The American entertainer Jerry Lewis

has died at the age of 91. He became famous for his double

act with Dean Martin, and went on to become

the highest-paid actor in Hollywood, with hits such as The Bellboy

and The Nutty Professor. His family say he died of natural

causes at his home in Las Vegas. He was a great entertainer. You used

to watch him with your dad. Yes, very fond memories. Just seeing his

face brought me back. The United States will experience

a coast-to-coast total solar eclipse for the first time in almost

a century, later today. The so-called path of totality,

when total darkness falls, Our reporter Nada Tawfik sent this

piece from Hopkinsville, in Kentucky, which will experience

the fullest eclipse. Eclipse-mania has arrived,

and in the small town of Hopkinsville, Kentucky,

this is the largest party Officially 'Eclipseville'

for the big day, here is where the best of

the darkness will be, It's bringing out

the best in everybody, and everybody's together, and

I love it. To deal with the overwhelming

preparations, this quiet community of 30,000 appointed a special solar

eclipse co-ordinator, and Mayor Carter Hendricks says this

has been months in the making. About ten years ago,

we got a phone call from a scientist asking about the eclipse,

and if they could book hotel rooms. At the downtown festival,

there are dozens of lenders, selling everything from eclipse

T-shirts to artwork and glasses. The moment of totality will last two

minutes and 40 seconds, here, but the memory

will leave a permanent mark And Bonnie Tyler will be singing

Total Eclipse of the Heart. When you start work at 5am and work until the

evening, Bonnie Taylor can send you around the bend, in the right way!

As we have been hearing, new CPS guidelines could mean

tougher penalties for people in England and Wales who carry out

The plans are in response to growing levels of abuse on social media.

We can speak now to Alison Saunders, who is the Director of Public

Thank you very much for joining us this morning. Can you define for us

what counts as a hate crime? Because we have seen and heard a lot about

people getting abuse online. When is it a crime, and not just someone

being nasty on Twitter or Facebook or whatever? Well, I hate crime does

not just occur online. It can occur in the physical space as well, and

we define a hate crime where it is a crime that has motivated by

somebody's hatred of an individual because of a particular

characteristic. So it could be disability, it could be their

gender, sexuality, it could be race or religion. And if the crime is

committed because of somebody's hate trait of that particular

characteristic, then that is a hate crime. And it is important that we

define it as such, because if we define it as a hate crime we can ask

the court to increase the sentence if they are convicted or plead

guilty. So what changes will this create? The fact that a hate crime

online is something you will look at and make a lot of. There are to make

things we have launched today. One is internal guidance for prosecutors

to make sure they are aware of all the different things they need to

take into account in relation to the different specific strands of hate

crime, and to make sure that we are asking for a sentence uplift, where

we are convicting individuals. But also public facing statements and

social media campaign we are launching today, Hate Crime Matters,

that is important because it is a crime which is underreported. Some

people feel they need to put up with it, they think it is just something

that happens to them because they are disabled, gay, or of a

particular religion, and that is absolutely not the case, so we are

really encouraging people to think about the behaviour shown to them

and to think about reporting things which will be a hate crime. And how

is this going to be enforced? We have talked a lot about how much

pressure the police are already under. If they are now going to be

getting a lot more people reporting these online cases, do they have the

resources to deal with it? Yes, and I can mainly talk about prosecutors

but we have enough resources to deal with this. It is something we

understand. We prosecute at the moment over 15,000 cases of hate

crime per year, and what we have seen is a rise in the number of

cases, against all the strands, particularly race and religiously

aggravated hate crime. The good news which can give people more

confidence in coming forward is that in over 50% of the cases we

prosecute, we are seeing the sentence uplift because it is a hate

crime, which should give people the confidence to come forward. Likewise

we can help and support people. So one of the documents that we have

issued today is specifically for people who are disabled, to indicate

how we can help and support them through the court process. So again,

that should encourage people to come forward.

Why and how? We have had a social media policy for a while and we are

just updating it. We just want to make sure prosecutors are as

up-to-date as possible. We want the community to be safe. We want groups

to get together to make sure we are so where as possible about Harry is

that manypeople from reporting. -- are as aware as possible about this.

And now for the weather. Big Ben prepares to fall silent. Is the sun

coming out? It is not. Good morning. It is not sunny. It is cloudy and

wet. But what a magnificent view of Big Ben behind me. It will stop

making noise from midday to repair. That will take up to four years. Big

Ben is actually just the bell inside the Elizabeth Tower, and it is the

most photographed building in the entire UK. They will still continue

on New Year's and Remembrance Sunday. But if you're coming down

here, bring your umbrella is. We have a weather forecast for the

whole of the UK. Cloud and rain going north through the day. The map

of the UK. Patchy rain across south Wales, south-west England, extending

through southern counties of England into the south-east, as we have here

in London currently. Not heavy in particular. But you will get wet. It

is going north, introducing more cloud. The sunniest skies in the

east. That continues in Scotland. Then the rain will be in the

north-west, west and south-west of Scotland and England, but not

north-east England. The cloud will be old. It will go down the coast.

Down towards the south-east, a lot of cloud with some drizzle. The

south-west, brighter skies with sunshine coming out. Feeling warm in

the sunshine. Wales is brightening up quite nicely. But it could be

cloudy and murky with rain in the north. That same band of rain going

into Northern Ireland where it will be heavy at times as well. Through

the evening, rain going through Northern Ireland, northern England,

and much of Scotland. Behind that, cloud. Patchy mist and fog. Coastal

and Hillend mist and fog. -- hill and. It will feel quite humid in

parts of England and Wales. Tomorrow, rain in Scotland going

north-east. After a cloudy start with that patchy mist and fog across

England and Wales and Northern Ireland, it will brighten up.

Sunshine coming through. Breezy. Temperatures up to 28 in the Channel

Islands, 23- 24 in England and Wales, cool in the rain in the

north, 18. Wednesday, the northern half of the country will have the

rain. The southern half will have something more bright. Breezy. It

will not be as warm. The wind changes to a westerly from a

southerly. Feeling cool. Putting my umbrella back up because it is still

raining. Back to you. Thank you for the clarification. For a moment it

looks like the sun was breaking through. Thank you for clearing that

up. You always have to have the last word. She knows what she's about. I

am just saying there might be some nice weather and she clarified. Just

trying to bring some sunshine into your life. She already brings that.

I know my place, I know my place. She is laughing.

Motorists are being encouraged to share footage captured

on dash-cams with police in an effort to crack down

In the last year, a pilot scheme in North Wales has seen action taken

against more than 100 drivers who were filmed

Our reporter, Lorna Gordon, has more.

This evening drive earlier this year in Fife. Violet was driving a short

distance in her car on a road she knows well when this happened. The

driver of the other car blame her for the crash, but she used the

footage recorded by her dashcam to show she did nothing wrong. Her car

was written off, but the dashcam that proved her innocence followed

her to her new one. I had it for a few minutes. It was a great example

of what it can do. I believe it helps me. It just proves what

happened. It definitely helped me. They record what the driver of a car

seized on the road ahead. -- sees. When there is an act that end, the

footage can prove whether the driver is in the clear or if they were at

fault. Dashcams have shown questionable behaviour on our roads

which could have put others at risk. In North Wales, police investigate

footage sent in by motorists. It has resulted in action against some

drivers, and has been so successful, the scheme is going to be expanded.

They say dashcam footage can give valuable evidence in the event of a

crash. Some companies lower premiums for drivers who have the technology

in their cars. Having that record of what happened means the claim get

settled quicker. The second one is if you are unlucky enough to be the

victim of a cash for crash scam or if you are being accused of

something you have not done, you have good evidence. Court cases have

known to use them. This shows you were not to blame. Some say dashcams

are a breach of privacy. Violet says she will never drive without one and

believes our roads would be safe if everyone had one in their cars.

Lorna Gordon, BBC News. Incredible footage.

Inspector David Cust is from North Wales Police.

This is changing the face of policing. It is. With dashcams

becoming more popular, we saw a need to progress the footage process to

make sure as a member of the public, if you are dissatisfied with how

someone drives, you can report it. When you get footage... That just

makes... Every time I look but I cringe. What do you do with the

footage? It is submitted through our website. People send it with a

statement saying it is their footage and has not been doctored. We assess

it against the evidence and we look at what we do from there, whether it

is going to court, a penalty, depending on what the offence is.

How do you respond to a legitimate concern this is Big Brother gone

mad? I don't see it that way. It increases road safety. We all want

to get from A to B safely. Is in the back of your mind you think a car

will have a dashcam, it will make you safer. -- if in. Is driving

getting worse? No, but this highlights there are still poor

drivers out there. We want the ability to bring them in. You can go

on YouTube and social media and there are many bad driving examples.

Cyclists in big cities struggling to get past vehicles. Is it true you

will not pursue cases when that footage has been uploaded already?

It goes against justice. People will have preconceived ideas about what

the footage is. It is not fair if someone has already seen it and have

there own ideas about whether they are at fault. We just say don't put

them on social media. You ran this initiative and it will be going

across the whole of Wales. How did it work? How many were you sent? It

was put together by one of our sergeant because he saw a need for

aid. We have trialled it for 12 months. We had 129 cases taken

forward, a significant number. We will take it forward through all of

Wales. It will be the same process. It will be interesting to see how it

all works. Thank you very much for coming in to talk to us. How much do

they cost? It cost ?5 for my car. They are not expensive and you can

get a discount with insurance. Thank you very much. Thank you. You can do

it this time. It is 7:26. It is 26 minutes past seven.

Sales of new cars may be falling, but we're buying more caravans.

So, we've sent our happy camper, Sean, to Pwllheli in North Wales

I am in North Wales. We are talking about the sales of camper vans and

romantic ones like these getting more younger people involved.

Motorhomes have increased as well. More than 10% up in sales. We will

talk about why more people are doing that. Is it the weaker pound? Or are

We know this is a crime which is underreported. Sometimes feel they

just have to put up with it, it is something that happens to them

because they are disabled, because they are gay, because they are a

particular religion. And that is absolutely not the case,

so we are really encouraging people to think about the behaviour shown

to them and to think about reporting Spanish police are investigating

Later today, a total solar eclipse will sweep across the United States

The movement of the moon between the earth and sun will turn

day into night for 2.5 minutes across 14 US states.

In the UK, a partial solar eclipse will be visible just before sunset,

as the moon appears to take a bite out of the sun.

10% is what we will see over here in the UK, and we cannot stop talking

about the Total Eclipse of the Heart whenever we do this, can we? We are

being told off for talking about it too much. You made a demand that we

play a section of it. It is such a good song, and it fits because

Bonnie Tyler will be on a cruise ship, singing Total Eclipse of the

Heart. Have you ever tried karaoke of Total Eclipse of the Heart? It is

almost impossible. Is the hardest song to sing. I tried it once in

Portsmouth and had to stop halfway through. Put the Blues Brothers on.

And I am surprised she has kept her voice over the years, with the

quirkiness. I have been holding out for a hero. Ain't no sunshine when

he is gone. Mo Farah has won his last ever

track race in Britain, with victory in the Men's 3,000m

at the Birmingham Diamond League The 34-year-old took his sixth

World Championship gold in the 10,000m at this month's

London World Championships, adding to the four

Olympic titles he holds. His last ever track race will be

next week in Zurich. After that, he is

switching to road racing. What people forget is,

it becomes like something Because I love it, I love what I do,

and that is part of it. But, at the same time,

it gets a little hard when you have so much pressure you just

can't go anywhere. But now I'm going to road,

it will be a new game, Elsewhere in Birmingham, CJ Ujah,

who was part of the sprint relay team which won gold

at the World Championships, He beat his fellow Britons

in the field, with a time Great Britain have won

the team gold medal at the European Eventing

Championships, in Poland. Nicola Wilson also took

individual bronze. Riding Bulana in the show-jumping,

Wilson could afford two penalties to secure the team gold,

but managed a perfect round. Germany claimed team silver,

with Sweden finishing third. I can't put into words just how

impressed I am by how the riders You can probably hear I'm

a bit emotional about it, Tottenham started life

at their new home, Marcos Alonso was Chelsea's star

man, giving them a first-half lead After an own-goal drew Spurs level,

Alonso struck with two minutes remaining, to give Antonio Conte's

side a first win of the season. Spurs have won only two of the 11

games they have played at Wembley It's not easy to play

against Tottenham, and to win. I consider Tottenham

a really strong team, and for us, it was very

important, this win. Huddersfield Town's

terrific start to life in the Premier League

continued yesterday. Aaron Mooy's second-half strike gave

them a 1-0 victory over Newcastle. It leaves Huddersfield with maximum

points from two games, The USA have won golf's Solheim Cup,

after a comprehensive 16.5-11.5 The Americans had taken

a commanding, five-point lead And it proved too much,

despite a spirited Europe performance, Lizette Salas

holing the winning putt. The United States have now won five

of the last seven competitions. I'm just so proud of how

hard they have fought. I mean, it's not easy coming

out here on a Sunday, They were out there fighting

for every single match Just congratulate the USA,

because they've played In the home support helped them

enormously. Zlatan Ibrahimovic has

suggested his knee is almost strong enough to return to football,

by posting a video of himself The 35-year-old posted

the caption "Which knee?" Ibrahimovic suffered knee-ligament

damage in his first season He remains out of contract

and without a club, but is still wanted by Jose Mourinho

if he can get back to full fitness. It is quite a good move. From a kick

Ochs in point of view it is fantastic. He looks like he is ready

for another club. He has skills. Time a big part of Big Ben.

Just like Buckingham Palace and Downing Street, the bongs

of Big Ben are a definitive part of London.

But, at noon, the bells will peal for the last time for four years.

It is part of a huge maintenance project at the Houses of Parliament.

But, as silence approaches, a host of MPs have expressed

their frustration over how long Big Ben won't bong.

Good morning to you. Thank you for coming on the programme. Most people

agree there is a sadness that that familiar sound is not going to be

there. Isn't the reaction a little bit over the top? No. You have said

it is an iconic tower, and it is, and the noise is something that

people associate with London. They associate it with the news during

the Second World War. People used to listen out for it. It is the sound

of truth and freedom, which is just iconic. And I think part of the

problem is that the MPs who have sat on committees, there are other three

committees dealing with this, believe it or not, and it appears

that they simply were not giving given the information that disrepair

would take place, and they didn't know that it would take four years.

Did no one asked the question? I am surprised, I sat on one of these

committees, and we were replacing the cutlery, and we were told that

perhaps we ought not to have the colours printed on the cutlery

because so many were being stolen. So I asked the question, tell me,

how many are being stolen? And they couldn't answer it. I said if you

can't even answer that question then let's put the symbol on the cutlery,

and that is what we did. I think there are lots of churches around

the country which don't have bellringers any more for all sorts

of reasons, and so they have reproduced the sound of the bells

for weddings and various other occasions. Why couldn't we have done

something like that on the other tower, on the Victoria Tower, so

that those who were working on the Elizabeth Tower would not get

deafened and people can still hear Big Ben chiming. These are simple

things which could have been done. It is still not too late. When the

bells silenced at midday there is always the opportunity, I hope, and

when the house gets back, I hope these questions will be asked. Why

is it taking so long? Why has the cost almost doubled from ?20 million

to something like ?60 million, and why is it taking four years? Given

everything else which is going on in the world, though, chatting about

whether the clock should have its bongs seems a bit trivial. It got

worse. My first meeting we were talking about whether the carpets

being replaced in the House of Commons were the right shade of

green. I used to call the committee 50 shades of green. We laugh about

it, but you guys are meant to be doing jobs to help the country. It

is not the most important thing we will discuss today, but the fact is

that it is a UNESCO world site. And for me, I believe that the Elizabeth

Tower and Big Bend, it just doesn't belong to Parliament. This belongs

to the people of Britain and the people of the world -- Big Ben. I

think we have a responsibility to ensure that the repairs are done, to

make sure that the tower doesn't fall over, but that the Belle's

noise is heard throughout the kingdom, and not just on New Year's

Eve and Remembrance Sunday. It is already ?60 million this costs, and

it will take four years, if someone says we can put the recorded chimes

on Victoria Tower but it will cost a ridiculous amount of money... I bet

there are some people who are in the business who would love to do that

job, to show that they can have the appeals of Big Ben while the repairs

are going on -- peels. But questions have to be asked why it is that the

costs have spiralled. And we are talking about Big Ben, which is at

the side of Parliament. We are also talking about the refurbishment of

the whole parliament. That started at ?1 billion, we are now on ?4

billion. That was the last estimate I heard. If they can't get Big Ben

right, what hope have I or anyone else got that they will get the

whole of Parliament right? At least the cutlery is OK. Well, I don't

know how much of it is left. Thank you very much, nice to see you. We

have dropped clanger. How long have you been working on that. And

because of the news from Big Ben, we have sent Carol to Westminster. I

will not make any comment about whether the weather is improving, I

will leave it to you. It is so cloudy and wet, but what of view we

have a Big Ben behind me, looking resplendent despite the fact the

weather is not. Big Ben, of course, is the bell inside the Elizabeth

Tower. Some interesting facts: Big Ben itself weighs 13.7 tons and has

a diameter of 8.9 feet, that is 2.7 metres. Each clock face is 23 feet,

that is seven metres, in diameter, and composed of around 312 sections

of opal glass. The hour hand is 9.2 feet, that is 2.8 metres in length,

and the middle hand is 4.3 metres. It is splendid, and as we have just

been hearing, at noon today we will hear the chimes for the last time

for up to four years for repair work -- minute hand. It has been raining

in London all morning. We have a band of cloud and rain moving north

eastwards through the course of the day. As it does so, it will pep up

across Northern Ireland and also parts of Scotland. What we have

currently is that band of rain across south-west England, extending

through South Wales, into the South Midlands and into the south-east. It

is fairly patchy but some of it is heavy. The best of the sunshine

today is across the fire East of England, and eastern and

north-eastern Scotland, all the way up towards the Northern Isles. By

the time we get to 4pm the rain will have advanced steadily northwards

and by then will be ensconced across parts of Argyll and Bute, down

towards Galloway, still hanging on to the sunshine in the far

north-east. They will also be across the far north England, some of it

could be heavy. North-east England although the cloud will build, it

will be largely dry at this stage. Down the coastline from north-east

England towards Norfolk, we will see some sunshine. But inland, there

will be a lot more cloud right the way down towards the south coast,

with drizzle at times. Moving towards the south-west, you have got

brighter skies with some sunshine coming through, and it will feel

warm and the sunshine, as it will across South Wales. For most of

Wales it will be cloudy and murky, especially along the coast, with the

rain in the north. The same rain extending into Northern Ireland,

where it will also be quite heavy. Through the course of the evening

and overnight, the rain continues to advance across Northern Ireland,

through northern England and in through most of Scotland. Behind it,

for England and for Wales it is going to be cloudy. There will be

some patchy mist and fog, especially so along the hills and coasts, but

not exclusively. And it will be a humid night, especially across

England and Wales. So tomorrow we start off with that scenario. The

rain across Scotland continuing to push northwards. The cloud and the

murkiness raking across England, Wales and Northern Ireland, allowing

some sunshine to come through. We still have tropical air across us so

in the sunshine the temperatures will rocket. We could have 28 in the

Channel Islands, 2324 widely across England and Wales, but in the rain

in Scotland temperatures will be a little bit lower, the high teens at

best. On Wednesday the northern half of the country will see the rain,

heavy at times, for the rest of the country, for England, Wales and

parts of Northern Ireland, we are looking at a dry and brighter day.

But why then the wind will have changed direction to move

Westerleigh, so it will not be as humid and it will not feel as warm

as it is going to either. Is it good weather in North Wales to

take your caravan out? It will be wet and murky. But if you like

that... Sean looks like he likes it. Sales of new cars may be

falling, but it seems we're The weather is holding up quite

nicely. Everyone is having a nice time. We are talking about caravans.

Sales are up so much. Zero for cars, though. We can talk to Andrew. Have

you noticed a change in the last year? Over the last three years we

have seen demand massively increase. But also the style moving to

caravans and motorhomes. Are different people buying them?

Certainly. Families, ones with younger children. Younger people as

well. It is becoming more popular. So, it has been improving for six

years. But in the last year we have been talking about this. Has it

affected businesses? Definitely. People have not come as much to

North Wales, until now, and we are coping with demand. People are

getting wise and spending time outside of peak hours. I will let

you crack on with it. We will disrupt this family's backing up.

Perfectly timed. Good morning. You have been here ten days this time.

What made you think we should have a holiday in the UK and not go abroad?

Just the freedom of visiting different places and spending time

with my kids. You have upgraded in the last few years. When you made

the decision to buy another one, why didn't you think let's just go

abroad? Partly the cost. With a caravan you have the freedom to

visit different places and get about and spend time with the children.

How much more would you spend if you did not have it but the four of you

decided to go to the south of Spain? At least another couple of grand.

How do you save money? You need a bigger car, the fuel? Shop around

for a nice campsite that will cater to everyone. Making sure that you

have stuff which will make your small time together as a family a

nice time, like a nice beach, somewhere to take the dogs and have

them run loose. I will drag you out as well. When it comes down to it,

the reason they have a bigger caravan, are here it is because of

you? Because I am getting taller. I am getting too big for it. What is

it about places like this? Would you prefer a holiday abroad? Not really.

You are happy here? Yeah. I like spending time and doing stuff with

my family. Getting outdoors. Yeah. It doesn't matter about the weather

because you can still do stuff. And there are different views. And you

have your dog with you the whole time. Over the next few years will

you come back here? We want to come back here. There are places we have

not seen in Wales itself we want to come back to. It has been really

nice. We want to come back. I will let you crack on with backing up and

so you can enjoy your trip. Charlie has been well-behaved. In an hour,

we will talk about whether it has made a difference to holidaymakers

in north-west Wales. Thank you very much. Charlie likes Sean but not the

cameraman, Steven. I know him. He made the right choice. I like their

little sense. I love that the little kid gave the right answer, I would

not rather go abroad. It is approaching 7:50.

as well, and it means that people won't forget what has happened.

people will see it and still remember, you know?

It will be a lasting kind of monument, in a way.

Dr Fortune wanted to show his support and solidarity.

I was chatting to some of my nursing colleagues and said I might get

I put it on JustGiving and I hoped to raise ?2,500.

But I hit that within a couple of days, so I doubled my target

to ?5,000, and right now it stands at ?5,500.

So it's still open, of course, if anyone wants to donate.

The money will go to the Children's Hospital.

Last month, the funeral of Saffie Roussos, the youngest

Beautiful. Time for the news, travel, and weather,

You're listening to the bongs of Big Ben, as they chime

for the last time today before being silenced for restoration work.

We're live in Westminster all morning.

Very good timing. I think I'd flashed the first one.

who commit hate crimes online. New guidelines mean abuse on social

media sites will now be treated as seriously as offences

The brightest skies in the east and south-east. Morin 15 minutes.

Good morning. First, our main story.

Hate crimes committed online should be pursued as seriously as offences

carried out face to face, according to new guidelines for

The Crown Prosecution Service says it will seek tougher penalties

for abuse on social media, which it says could lead to the type

of extremist hate seen in Charlottesville in the US.

Rhodri Colwyn Philipps, the fourth Viscount St Davids,

jailed last month for racially aggravated threats on Facebook

against Gina Miller, the businesswoman behind

She said she felt violated by his shocking comments,

just one of many online attacks she suffered.

Now, the Crown Prosecution Service says these kinds of crimes must be

dealt with as robustly as offences on the street.

It is promising a tougher response, to build public confidence.

There were more than 15,000 hate crime prosecutions in 2015-2016,

the highest number ever, and a third of those convicted

But the number of cases referred by police to persecutors fell

by almost 10%, a drop the CPS says it is investigating.

We know this is a crime that is underreported. Sometimes people feel

they have to put up with it. It is something that happens to them

because they are disabled, because they are gay and because they are a

particular religion. That is absolutely not the case. We are

encouraging people to think about the behaviour is shown to them and

to think about reporting things which would be a hate crime. Some

critics say police and prosecutors moved too slowly to apprehend online

abusers. That means people are reluctant to come forward. The CPS

hopes new guidance will create the best possible chance of achieving

justice for all victims. Spanish police are exploring

a possible link between Thursday's attacks in Spain, and assaults

by so-called Islamic State Authorities believe the Iman,

Abdelbaki Es Satty, may have radicalised younger members

of the cell, which carried out the Las Ramblas

and Cambrils atrocities. They're also investigating

whether he was involved in the bombings at Brussels airport

and a metro station in the city, The suspected mastermind

of the Barcelona and a Cambrils attacks, Abdelbaki Es Satty,

is the imam of this mosque He is being blamed by this father

of two of the attackers TRANSLATION: He took these young,

impressionable minds, messed around with their brains,

and now they're dead. The imam is believed to have been

killed in an accidental explosion at a bomb factory, south

of Barcelona, a day before Police are now investigating his

movements across Europe prior According to the mayor

of the Belgian town of Vilvoorde, he was there between January

and March last year, right before the deadly attacks

on the Maalbeek metro Station It is being reported that the Audi

used in the attack was caught on camera earlier in Paris,

of last week's van attack may have escaped to France, and are now
