Taking back control of UK laws - the government outlines its latest | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
It's vowed to end the direct jurisdiction of the European Court | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
of Justice, but the issue is likely to cause a rift with the EU. | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
Also this morning, the cell responsible for the Barcelona terror | :00:20. | :00:42. | |
attack tells a Madrid court that it was planning to use | :00:43. | :00:45. | |

Police have used teargas to disperse protesters outside a Trump in | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
Arizona. -- Trump rally. spoken about the days | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
following their mother's death. I didn't want her worried, or her | :00:59. | :01:16. | |
legacy to be William and more Harry being completely and utterly | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
devastated by it. All that hard work and love and energy that she put in | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
to us when we were younger, going to waste. Good morning. | :01:24. | :01:24. | |
Energy bills, insurance costs and council tax are all going up | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
at a much faster rate than the average cost of living. | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
England are just one match away from retaining | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
They beat France in a tense semifinal in Belfast to set up | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
A balmy start to the day here in London, but we have some heavy rain | :01:39. | :01:54. | |
in northern England, Northern Ireland Scotland. Behind that, | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
fresher conditions and some showers. More details on 15 minutes. | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
The government will today outline how it intends to take back control | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
It's vowed to end the direct jurisdiction of the European Court | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
of Justice saying it's "neither necessary or appropriate." | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
The issue is one of the most contentious in negotiations | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
Theresa May said it was a red line for the government. | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
The Luxembourg court ensures all member states abide by EU law. | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
It settles disputes and its judgements are binding | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
Our reporter Adam Fleming is outside the European Court | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
Add, we are going to see this negotiation, this latest part of the | :02:32. | :02:44. | |
negotiation, but how will we be a fact that by these changes? -- Adam. | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
Good morning. This paper the government will be publishing today | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
is about how in future, arguments that arise between the UK and the | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
EU, either about the Brexit deal they will sign or any future | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
free-trade deal they will sign, how those disputes will be settled. And | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
settled in a way that doesn't involve the building behind me, the | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
European Court of justice. The Prime Minister used to say that she wanted | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
to end the jurisdiction of this place in the UK overall. Now | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
ministers say they want to end the direct jurisdiction. That has some | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
people thinking that perhaps the government is signalling it. Then it | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
stands on this place, which is why when this document is published at | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
lunchtime people will go through it with a fine tooth comb. -- the | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
government is signalling it plans to soften its stance. Now, for the EU's | :03:40. | :03:51. | |
part, they still want be ECJ to have quite a big role after Brexit, | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
especially on the issue of looking after the rights of EU citizens in | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
the UK after the UK has left. I know that it sounds horrendously | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
complicated, but the fact is, this is a really big deal for Brexit | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
negotiations. Thank you, Adam. We'll be talking more about that later in | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
the day. And in just over an hour we'll speak | :04:12. | :04:12. | |
to the Justice Minister Dominic Police have used tear gas | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
to disperse protestors outside a rally by President | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
Trump in Arizona. The President attacked media | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
coverage of his response to violent disturbances in Charlottesville, | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
calling it dishonest. Our correspondent, James Cook, | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
is in Phoenix, and can update us That is right, there have been some | :04:29. | :04:42. | |
sporadic clashes between police and demonstrators. Tear gas was fired. | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
For a time, it looked quite difficult. It looks like there would | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
the significant problems. There was lots of tear gas in there. In the | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
end it died away quite quick Lee. We can wander over here and see what is | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
happening. The police have really pulled out. The protesters have | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
moved away as well. The police have gathered here to reassess the | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
situation. To be honest, there were hardly any protesters on the streets | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
at all. There is a small cloud on the other side of the road. We will | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
see if we can have a look. It is quite easy at the moment, there is a | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
small crowd over there and a few more on the side of the street. An | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
hour or so ago, there were not more police on the streets, and what more | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
protesters, and it was a lot more tense. -- a lot more police on the | :05:37. | :05:44. | |
streets, a lot more protesters. What was President Trump saying inside? | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
We were reading the transcript, he was attacking the media? That is | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
right. The president denounced the media at great length. It really was | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
a speech that felt far more like a campaign rally then it did at the | :06:00. | :06:09. | |
statement of a president. He spoke at length about his dis- taste and | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
discussed with the media, repeatedly accusing the journalists in the | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
middle of the room, being awful people, fake news and so on, and the | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
crowd would turn around and jeer at the reporters. I think he has | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
decided that the best way to Newton criticism of the presidency is by | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
attacking the people who are passing on that message. -- neuter | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
criticism. One of the four suspects arrested | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
in connection with last week's attacks in Barcelona has been | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
released by a judge in Madrid. Earlier, another of the suspects | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
reportedly told the judge that the group had planned to make | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
explosive devices and blow up The suspects left court in Madrid | :06:44. | :06:57. | |
yesterday evening after a day-long hearing behind closed doors. | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
Judicial papers have revealed what was said. One of the accused arrived | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
in his hospital pyjamas, still nursing the wounds sustained in a | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
blast at an alleged bomb factory on Wednesday. Mohamed Chemlal, who is | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
21, was the only one to admit his role in the plot. He said they | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
planned at least one bomb attack against a church in Monument. He | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
survived the explosion because he was out on the porch at the time. A | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
note in Arabic was found in the rubble, said to be from the soldiers | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
of Islamic State in the land of Al-Andalus to the Crusaders and the | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
corrupters. Chemlal said this in arm was their leader, and he reportedly | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
said martyrdom was a good thing, according to the courant. -- imam. | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
He was killed in the explosion. Driss Oukabir rented the van used in | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
the attack in Barcelona. He denied involvement but was remanded in | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
custody. Salah el Karib Ronan Hughes net cafe in the town when many of | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
the suspects lived. He remains in custody pending further enquiries. | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
Mohammed Aallaa was granted conditional release. The judge said | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
the evidence against him was weak. He denied being the owner of the car | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
used in an attack in the coastal town of Cambrils on Friday. It has | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
now been confirmed a speed camera photographed the vehicle near Paris | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
just days before the attack in Barcelona. Identity theft is | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
reaching epidemic levels with almost 500 cases a day, according to a | :08:35. | :08:36. | |
leading fraud prevention organisation. Cifas says there were | :08:37. | :08:43. | |
nearly 90,000 cases in the first six months of this year, a 5% rise. ID | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
fraudsters obtain personal information before applying for | :08:48. | :08:48. | |
loans or store cards in their name. The number of complaints about bin | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
collections which were upheld by the local government watchdog | :08:53. | :08:54. | |
rose sharply this year The Local Government | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
and Social Care Ombudsman has warned out-sourcing of bin collections | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
to private companies is at the root In Birmingham, the backlog caused by | :09:01. | :09:15. | |
the recent bin strikes being cleared away. A stark example of how quickly | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
rubbish piles up when the system breaks down. For many of us, waste | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
collection is the most obvious service local authorities supply, | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
and complaints, although a fraction of the hundreds of millions of | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
collections that take place, are on the increase. The local government | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
ombudsman receives around 500 enquiries and complaints about waste | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
collection every year. Two years ago they upheld in 59% of cases. But | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
last year that figure had risen as high as 81%. The ombudsman can be | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
contacted when somebody is dissatisfied at how their complaint | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
is being handled. Problems began when councils fail to listen to | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
complaints about missed collections and other problems with bins. We | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
have seen cases where other people have waited three months for people | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
to have their bins collected. In one case, and man waited ten months to | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
have his bin taken back to the right place. The body that represents | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
councils, the local government Association, says that around 80% of | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
residents are happy with their service. But it argues ?2.2 billion | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
worth of cuts by the government to local authorities adds pressure. It | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
can be a dirty job, but somebody has to do it, and do it properly. And | :10:33. | :10:34. | |
that someone is your local council. A 14-year-old boy has been arrested | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
for dancing the Macarena in a busy A video of the teenager's | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
performance was posted on Twitter and quickly went viral - | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
but now he's been accused It is not clear if he will be | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
formally charged by the public A hospital in Shropshire has turned | :10:48. | :10:57. | |
down a charity donation of 2,500 pounds because it was raised | :10:58. | :11:09. | |
by men dressed as nurses. The head of the NHS Trust which runs | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
the Ludlow Community hospital said the behaviour was insulting | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
and demeaning to staff. The money was raised to help buy | :11:16. | :11:17. | |
new x-ray equipment. So a 14-year-old boy is arrested for | :11:18. | :11:36. | |
doing the Mac arena and money that is needed for x-ray machines is | :11:37. | :11:43. | |
turned down. -- macarena. A funny old world. | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
A list of the top 100 comedy films of all time has been released by BBC | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
culture, who has polled over 250 film critics from 52 countries. | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
The 1959 classic Some like It Hot came out on top, | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
The top 20 films are all English-language with the exception | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
of French film Playtime, but despite similarities in the top | :12:02. | :12:03. | |
choices, there were clear differences in what people | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
of different nationalities found funny. | :12:07. | :12:07. | |
And we will be discussing this a little bit later on. Have you seen | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
the list? Yes. I haven't seen the list. Blazing Saddles is on there. | :12:14. | :12:21. | |
Is Trading Places on there? I would have to check. I have to be in the | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
right mood. When a film makes me laugh... Ace Ventura, Pet Detective. | :12:27. | :12:36. | |
I wasn't in the right mood for that. The airplay movies. Those would be | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
my favourite. Meet the Parents, remember that? You have to be in the | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
right mood. It is great, Aeroplane is a classic. The kids might not | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
remember that one. It was a long, long time ago. A bruising encounter | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
for England's woman last night, but a successful one. | :12:58. | :12:59. | |
It was a triumphant night for England as they reached | :13:00. | :13:01. | |
the final of the Women's Rugby World Cup. | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
This try from Meg Jones sealed a 20-3 semifinal victory over | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
It sets up a showdown with New Zealand on Saturday. | :13:08. | :13:18. | |
Celtic has made it through to the Group Stages of the Champions | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
They were beaten by Astana of Kazakhstan, but go through 8-4 | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
Premier League winners Leicester City rested nine | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
of their first team for their EFL Cup game at Championship side | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
Sheffield United, but still won easily, 4-1. | :13:33. | :13:34. | |
Premier League Watford were knocked out by Bristol City. | :13:35. | :13:36. | |
And England are through to the semi-finals of | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
the Women's Euro Hockey Championships in Amsterdam. | :13:40. | :13:41. | |
The defending champions beat Scotland 2-0 to reach the last four. | :13:42. | :13:50. | |
Got a little bit more hockey success coming up later in the programme. | :13:51. | :13:58. | |
Yes, the over 75s. Our victorious over 75s. Can't wait for that. Was | :13:59. | :14:06. | |
it yesterday, or the day before? The Germans was the day before. And now | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
they have on the final? Yeah. Holly will be with them. Did you know that | :14:12. | :14:19. | |
Emma's dad plays with them? Tim Henman's dad plays for them as well. | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
It is the story that keeps on giving. They are annoyingly | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
wonderful at all sports, the Henmans. They are competitive. That | :14:30. | :14:31. | |
is the secret. You're watching | :14:32. | :14:33. | |
Breakfast from BBC News. The main stories this morning: | :14:34. | :14:35. | |
The government's vowing to take back control of UK laws by ending | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
the "direct jurisdiction" of the European Court | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
of Justice after Brexit. Police have fired tear gas | :14:42. | :14:43. | |
at protestors outside a rally Here's Carol with a look | :14:44. | :14:45. | |
at this morning's weather. Up on the roof of new broadcasting | :14:46. | :15:04. | |
house. I've got a little flock in the | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
corner! Good morning. This morning it is quite barmy appear this | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
morning, with blue skies and the sun. Tebbutt is about 18 Celsius. | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
Not a cold start anywhere in the UK today. -- temperatures. A cluster of | :15:19. | :15:26. | |
cloud in Yorkshire and moving east. Overnight rain has been heavy across | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
northern England, Northern Ireland and western Scotland. That has led | :15:30. | :15:36. | |
to some flooding issues. Today that rain will clear and then we have a | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
mixture of sunshine and showers and fresher conditions coming our way. | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
You can see where we've got the heavy rain at 9am the rain will | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
continue to push across Scotland. Some of that heavy and thundery. | :15:49. | :15:55. | |
Moving across northern England. Behind it there are still showers | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
around, but equally there will also be sunshine and in the south-east it | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
will feel quite humid. So by the time we get to the afternoon, at | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
four o'clock the rain is still cross Scotland, dragging its heels across | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
the north-east. Behind it we have something brighter and sunny. Across | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
northern England, most of north-west England, the Pennines, something | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
sunny. The north-east hanging onto the weather front producing the | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
showery rain. Coming further south there's a bit of cloud. Around the | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
cloud is the weather front. It will still be warm and humid, but as we | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
move to the other side of it we are looking at behind the front it is | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
feeling fresh and a bit of sunshine. There will also be a few showers. | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
Many of us will miss them all together. You can see some in | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
south-west England and Wales. In Northern Ireland, after the rain | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
overnight and in the afternoon, a dry day, but still showers in the | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
forecast. Through this evening and overnight we still have the rain | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
pushing north-eastwards across the far north of mainland Scotland and | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
the Northern Isles. Showers packing into the west, clear skies. A cooler | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
night than the one just gone. Tomorrow we have the weather front | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
across northern Scotland dragging its heels, producing some rain | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
largely on the Northern Isles. Some of that could be in the north of | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
mainland Scotland through the day. Again, still showers, predominately | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
in the west. Breezy and there will be sunshine. Temperatures not as | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
high as they expect today. Generally 19- 21. Heading into Friday, a dry | :17:36. | :17:43. | |
day for most of us. Some bright spells and sunshine around. Further | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
showers coming in across Northern Ireland and also northern and | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
western Scotland. Some of them could merge. Temperatures up to 24 Celsius | :17:51. | :17:57. | |
in London. So the weather is all over the place at the moment. That's | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
probably the easiest way to describe it. Thank you. We shall be up the | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
roof with you the morning. Let's take a look at | :18:06. | :18:07. | |
this morning's papers. Many leading with the story of | :18:08. | :18:14. | |
Prince Harry talking for the first time, and Prince William, how the | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
news of their mother's death was told to them. They've given an | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
interview to the BBC. It will be broadcast on Sunday. We will show | :18:26. | :18:32. | |
you bits of this. They say the news was told to them by their father. | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
Two Royal Princess. Dad told us our mother had died. And the front page | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
of the Daily Telegraph. This is something we will be looking at in | :18:43. | :18:49. | |
detail this morning, at 7:10am. The picture is a story we were talking | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
about yesterday. The miracle baby who survived ten hours in trouble, | :18:54. | :19:02. | |
after an earthquake. There are some fantastic pictures on the front | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
pages of the papers this morning. The Times is taking a look at a | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
Terre warning on unchecked migrants. -- terror. This is a special | :19:12. | :19:18. | |
investigation, saying Europe will be increasingly at risk from terrorists | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
who are posing as migrants, unless the numbers are stemmed. | :19:23. | :19:30. | |
One more front page. This is on the Sun. He was snorkelling off the | :19:31. | :19:37. | |
Turkish coast, put those coins in his luggage, found that the airport | :19:38. | :19:45. | |
and he's now in jail. There are various laws around what you find. | :19:46. | :19:53. | |
Steph. Who is today? Good morning. I'm just | :19:54. | :20:02. | |
going to start with a story about a company that's in the FTSE 100. This | :20:03. | :20:12. | |
firm is a financial services firm and an arm of it is in doorstep | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
lending. Yesterday the share price fell 66%. The chief executive is | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
stepping down with immediate effect. They put out another profits | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
warning. If the company, like other doorstep lenders, it has faced | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
criticism from charities over the way it collection repayments for | :20:30. | :20:36. | |
loans that gives the people. They strongly deny all these criticisms | :20:37. | :20:38. | |
from charities, but it's really interesting how much this Bradford | :20:39. | :20:46. | |
business has been hit by these profit warnings and the fact that | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
the chief executive step down. You don't really see companies in the | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
FTSE 100 CBA share price fall that much. In a day especially. 66%. That | :20:55. | :21:01. | |
millions of pounds wiped off their value. Anyone who has maybe a | :21:02. | :21:08. | |
pension with in that company, it could affect the value of that as | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
well. Sally? Ready for me now? This feels | :21:12. | :21:19. | |
weird. It's because you've got a story you | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
are really excited about. I do want to talk about this. Give | :21:23. | :21:30. | |
us a minute. Last night, this is a brilliant picture. Sarah Burt going | :21:31. | :21:38. | |
for a try. This was a great photo. Another one, I think this is great, | :21:39. | :21:48. | |
just look at that. Jurgen Klopp, the pressure is on. I just thought this | :21:49. | :21:59. | |
was quite... Scary? Intimidating! We notice he has the same classes as | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
the Huddersfield manager. 2-for-1, apparently. They are mates, aren't | :22:05. | :22:11. | |
they? Can we talk about this now? What's the biggest thing you've | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
eaten your dinner off in a restaurant? | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
Those silly wooden boards. When your food falls over the edge. There's a | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
revolution against what you are talking about. Apparently 99% of us | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
like round plate. Absolutely. Look at some of these pictures. These are | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
some of the things that have been served on various restaurants, | :22:34. | :22:41. | |
including... A dog old? -- all? This is a full English breakfast. Gravy | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
in a beer can. We've also got chocolate pudding on a garden | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
trowel. Waffle is in a dog bowl. And apologies if you live in London, | :22:52. | :23:03. | |
mushy peas in a lark -- latte glass. And breakfast on a shovel was in the | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
Lake District, which is everywhere. These are little canapes. | :23:09. | :23:16. | |
And this is bred in a Lego ball. Just give us a plate! -- bread in a | :23:17. | :23:25. | |
Lego bowl. There is a Twitter account called We Want Plates. | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
Anyone who finds they are served something in Britain as receptacle | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
can share it. -- ridiculous receptacle. | :23:37. | :23:44. | |
We will get more from Carol a little bit later as well. This is one of | :23:45. | :23:46. | |
our main stories. Princes William and Harry have been | :23:47. | :23:53. | |
talking about the week of their mother's death. | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
In a programme to be shown this Sunday, a describe being bewildered | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
by the crowds who sobbed and wept and wanted to grab them. | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
Both say it was a collective family decision to walk the Hind their | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
mother's coffin on the day of the funeral, which was nearly 20 years | :24:14. | :24:14. | |
ago. It was the week when a nation | :24:15. | :24:16. | |
mourned, and the monarchy At its heart were two boys, | :24:17. | :24:19. | |
William and Harry, grieving grieving for | :24:20. | :24:30. | |
the loss of their mother, to appear in public and help assuage | :24:31. | :24:32. | |
the public's sense of loss. In the BBC documentary, | :24:33. | :24:43. | |
William and Harry speak of the numbness and confusion | :24:44. | :24:45. | |
they felt when they were told And in Harry's case it is clear | :24:46. | :24:48. | |
there is still anger at the French photographers who were pursuing | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
Diana's speeding car in the moments before the crash in | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
the Alma Tunnel, in Paris. I think one of the hardest things | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
to come to terms with is the fact that the people who chased | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
her into the tunnel were the same people | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
who were taking photographs of her while she was | :25:12. | :25:14. | |
dying in the back seat of the car. We have been told that from people | :25:15. | :25:17. | |
that know that it was the case. She had quite a severe head injury, | :25:18. | :25:25. | |
but she was still very much alive Those people who caused | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
the accident, instead of helping, were taking photographs | :25:30. | :25:32. | |
of her dying on the back seat. And then those photographs | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
made their way back to news desks. William and Harry were in Balmoral | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
when they heard the news in Paris. They speak in support | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
of their grandmother for her efforts "He tried to do his best | :25:44. | :25:46. | |
for us," says Harry. When they moved from | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
Balmoral to London, And it's clear that they found | :25:52. | :25:53. | |
the experience bewildering, with so many people sobbing | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
and wanting to touch them. Of the decision to walk | :26:00. | :26:06. | |
behind their mother's coffin, both say it was a collective family | :26:07. | :26:14. | |
decision and both say they felt When you have something so traumatic | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
as the death of your mother when you are 15, as, very sadly, | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
many people have experienced, and no one wants to experience, | :26:24. | :26:26. | |
it leaves you, you know, it will make or break you, | :26:27. | :26:29. | |
and I wouldn't let it break me. I wanted her to be proud | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
of the person I would become. I didn't want her worried, | :26:34. | :26:36. | |
or her legacy to be that William or Harry were completely | :26:37. | :26:43. | |
and utterly devastated by it. And all of her hard work, | :26:44. | :26:46. | |
love and energy she put into us when we were younger | :26:47. | :26:49. | |
would go to waste. They were children coping | :26:50. | :26:52. | |
with their own grief and the attention of a grieving | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
nation, and who kept going to honour their | :26:58. | :27:00. | |
mother's memory. You can see how difficult it is, | :27:01. | :27:11. | |
even 20 years later. I can't imagine anyone who has lost | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
a parent who would ever get over that. | :27:16. | :27:15. | |
'Diana, Seven Days' will be on BBC One, this Sunday | :27:16. | :27:18. | |
Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. | :27:19. | :27:24. | |
Plenty more on our website at the usual address. | :27:25. | :30:48. | |

Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Naga Munchetty. | :30:51. | :30:58. | |
Let's bring you up-to-date with some of the things we will be covering | :30:59. | :31:08. | |
today. tax have all gone up at a faster | :31:09. | :31:12. | |
rate than the cost of living, according to figures seen | :31:13. | :31:17. | |
exclusively by the BBC. We're asking this morning if you're | :31:18. | :31:19. | |
happy with your bin collections. Latest figures show a rise | :31:20. | :31:22. | |

the extraordinary animals and remarkable people who call | :31:26. | :31:33. | |
mountain ranges their home. But now a summary of this | :31:34. | :31:35. | |
morning's main news. The government will say today | :31:36. | :31:39. | |
it is "neither necessary nor appropriate" for the European Court | :31:40. | :31:42. | |
of Justice to have any direct jurisdiction over | :31:43. | :31:45. | |
the UK after Brexit. Proposals are being published | :31:46. | :31:47. | |
which set out how disputes with the EU might be | :31:48. | :31:49. | |
resolved in the future. The European Commission wants | :31:50. | :31:52. | |
the court to guarantee the rights of EU citizens in the UK | :31:53. | :31:54. | |
after Brexit, and to oversee Police have used tear gas | :31:55. | :31:57. | |

Trump in Arizona. The President attacked media | :32:07. | :32:08. | |
coverage of his response to violent disturbances in Charlottesville | :32:09. | :32:11. | |
calling it dishonest. Our correspondent, James Cook | :32:12. | :32:14. | |
is in Phoenix, from where he spoke There have been some | :32:15. | :32:17. | |
sporadic clashes between For a time, it looked | :32:18. | :32:23. | |
quite difficult. It looks like there would be | :32:24. | :32:27. | |
significant problems. There was lots of | :32:28. | :32:29. | |
tear gas in the air. But in the end it died | :32:30. | :32:35. | |
away quite quickly. We can wander over | :32:36. | :32:39. | |
here and see what is The protesters have | :32:40. | :32:41. | |
moved away as well. The police have gathered | :32:42. | :32:52. | |
here to reassess the situation. To be honest, there are hardly any | :32:53. | :32:54. | |
protesters on the streets There is a small crowd | :32:55. | :32:57. | |
on the other side of the road. It's quite easy at the moment, | :32:58. | :33:03. | |
there is a small crowd over there and a few more | :33:04. | :33:11. | |
on the side of the street. An hour or so ago, | :33:12. | :33:14. | |
there were a lot more police on the streets, | :33:15. | :33:17. | |
and a lot more protesters, Two men suspected to be behind last | :33:18. | :33:19. | |

A hospital in Shropshire has turned down a charity donation of 2,500 | :34:29. | :34:32. | |
pounds because it was raised by men dressed as female nurses. | :34:33. | :34:34. | |
The head of the NHS Trust which runs the Ludlow Community hospital said | :34:35. | :34:38. | |
the behaviour was insulting and demeaning to staff. | :34:39. | :34:40. | |
The money was raised to help buy new x-ray equipment. | :34:41. | :34:44. | |
This is another story that might make you scratch your head. | :34:45. | :34:49. | |
A 14-year-old boy has been arrested for dancing the Macarena in a busy | :34:50. | :34:52. | |
A video of the teenager's performance was posted on Twitter | :34:53. | :34:56. | |
and quickly went viral, but now he's been accused | :34:57. | :34:58. | |
It is not clear if he will be formally charged by the public | :34:59. | :35:03. | |
I want to formally congratulate him, for having such good form. Great | :35:04. | :35:16. | |
moves. He is throwing some shapes. Is that why the traffic lights are | :35:17. | :35:20. | |
red? He is just one happy fellow. I like it. He can dance better than | :35:21. | :35:27. | |
me, that's what I'm saying. Anybody can do the macarena. I thought you | :35:28. | :35:34. | |
are going to say anybody can dance better than Sally. A pretty bruising | :35:35. | :35:40. | |
encounter for England's women against France last night, in the | :35:41. | :35:47. | |
World Cup semi-final. But? Yes, there is a clue in that picture. It | :35:48. | :35:49. | |
is good news. England will play New Zealand | :35:50. | :35:51. | |
in the final of the Women's Rugby World Cup after a tense semi final | :35:52. | :35:54. | |
victory over France. Celebrations feel sweeter when you | :35:55. | :36:02. | |
have fought as hard as this. England expected a struggle with France, and | :36:03. | :36:07. | |
that's what they got. Inseparable in the first half, the world champions | :36:08. | :36:10. | |
England's inched ahead through the boot of Emily Scarrott. But Sharon | :36:11. | :36:15. | |
is I refuse to let France fall behind. 3-3 at half-time, France | :36:16. | :36:20. | |
levelled through sheer determination. Even England's first | :36:21. | :36:25. | |
try was ground out inch by inch on the rainsoaked turf in Belfast. | :36:26. | :36:30. | |
Their second much simpler. A French fumble pounced upon, and a place in | :36:31. | :36:34. | |
the final secured. 23 the final score. It sounds I can easy win, but | :36:35. | :36:41. | |
it wasn't. Certainly going for it, certainly going for a place in the | :36:42. | :36:45. | |
final of the World Cup. It was very much an attritional battle. | :36:46. | :36:49. | |
Fortunately the mindset came through and we got the edge and I think we | :36:50. | :36:54. | |
got what we deserved tonight. So England are through and even tougher | :36:55. | :36:57. | |
semi-final then perhaps they expected. But the biggest test comes | :36:58. | :37:02. | |
next. A showdown on Saturday against the four times world champion New | :37:03. | :37:08. | |
Zealand. One last hurdle for England in defence of their title. | :37:09. | :37:11. | |
New Zealand will be looking to win the tournament for the fifth time | :37:12. | :37:14. | |

The world's number one ranked team looked in great form, | :37:20. | :37:23. | |
Celtic are through to the group stages of the Champions League, | :37:24. | :37:28. | |
The Scottish champions led 5-0 after the first leg against Astana, | :37:29. | :37:34. | |
and this brilliant Scott Sinclair goal meant the home side would have | :37:35. | :37:37. | |
Brendan Rodgers' side were pushed all the way, | :37:38. | :37:44. | |
Late goals including this from Leigh Griffiths made the game | :37:45. | :37:49. | |
safe though, Celtic go through 8-4 on aggregate. | :37:50. | :37:51. | |
It is brilliant for the club. I think it is absolutely brilliant for | :37:52. | :37:58. | |
Glasgow, the city. It is not just about football, it is the nation. | :37:59. | :38:03. | |

There were seven Premier League sides in action | :38:12. | :38:13. | |
in the EFL Cup last night, but just one upset. | :38:14. | :38:16. | |
Watford were beaten 3-2 at home by Bristol City | :38:17. | :38:18. | |
Craig Shakespeare rested nine of his first team last night, | :38:19. | :38:23. | |
but the gamble worked, as they won 4-1 at Sheffield United. | :38:24. | :38:26. | |
Mark Sampson, the England Women's football head coach has the full | :38:27. | :38:29. | |
backing of the FA, the BBC understands. | :38:30. | :38:31. | |
It follows claims by Eni Aloko that she was subjected to "bullying | :38:32. | :38:34. | |
and discriminatory" behaviour by Sampson. | :38:35. | :38:36. | |
He was cleared in two investigations of any wrongdoing and denies | :38:37. | :38:39. | |
the most recent accusations made by the Chelsea striker. | :38:40. | :38:41. | |
The anti-racism charity Kick It Out has called | :38:42. | :38:44. | |
Chris Froome will have a second day in the leader's red jersey | :38:45. | :38:53. | |
The four-time Tour de France champion is trying to become | :38:54. | :38:59. | |
the third man to win the Grand Tours of France and Spain | :39:00. | :39:02. | |
He preserved his two-second lead on Stage Four, finishing | :39:03. | :39:06. | |
Although only 11 seconds separate the top six, | :39:07. | :39:09. | |
England are through to the semi-finals of the Women's Euro | :39:10. | :39:17. | |
The defending champions beat Scotland 2-0 to reach | :39:18. | :39:22. | |
Jo Hunter here with the opening goal in Amsterdam. | :39:23. | :39:28. | |
Meanwhile in the other game in Pool B Germany beat Ireland 5-1 | :39:29. | :39:33. | |
to reach the last four with their third straight win | :39:34. | :39:36. | |
I don't know if you have heard about it, if anybody has mentioned it, but | :39:37. | :39:50. | |
there is a big fight happening in Las Vegas on the weekend. Really? | :39:51. | :39:54. | |
Yes. Today's Wednesday, so select few days to go. We have the latest | :39:55. | :39:58. | |
pictures from Las Vegas overnight. Conor McGregor says he'll be "calm | :39:59. | :40:00. | |
and cold" when he fights Floyd Mayweather on Sunday morning | :40:01. | :40:03. | |
in one of the most lucrative fights He is well to be cold in Las Vegas, | :40:04. | :40:16. | |
it oiling there, especially in that suit. -- it is boiling. | :40:17. | :40:22. | |
UFC champion McGregor is the underdog for the fight | :40:23. | :40:24. | |
It is all about giving the fans what they want to see. I have been around | :40:25. | :40:33. | |
the sport for so many years and this is the last one. Connor talks the | :40:34. | :40:38. | |
talk, will he be able to walk the walk? We will have to see. That is | :40:39. | :40:42. | |
what makes this fight, this matchup, so intriguing. I have been for two | :40:43. | :40:47. | |
years, it feels I have lost a few steps, we will see. | :40:48. | :40:49. | |
Interesting that we have Floyd doing his interview, but what Connor | :40:50. | :40:55. | |
McGregor spotted was that loads of fans showed up in a press conference | :40:56. | :40:58. | |
and they were kept outside in the list ring heat. He went past all the | :40:59. | :41:02. | |
journalists, through all the barriers, and went straight to the | :41:03. | :41:08. | |
cloud -- crowd and did a sort of Tom Cruise selfie extravaganza. So he is | :41:09. | :41:13. | |
winning the PR. I think they both understand the PR situation. They | :41:14. | :41:17. | |
know what they are doing. It is at that point where it goes from an | :41:18. | :41:20. | |
interesting sporting event and becomes a little bit... . Hype. Yes, | :41:21. | :41:31. | |
the hype overcomes it. There is a red carpet event tomorrow. Can't | :41:32. | :41:36. | |
wait about. It is going to be a big week. | :41:37. | :41:37. | |
It's been a sticking point in Brexit negotiations, | :41:38. | :41:39. | |
but today the British government will tell the EU it wants to end | :41:40. | :41:43. | |
what it calls the "direct jurisdiction" of the European Court | :41:44. | :41:45. | |
The European Union has already suggested this | :41:46. | :41:49. | |
Professor Steve Peers is an expert in EU law. | :41:50. | :41:52. | |
Good morning. The European Court of Justice has control over what in the | :41:53. | :42:05. | |
UK, and what would change once Brexit happens? It has final control | :42:06. | :42:11. | |
over how to interpret EU law. So whenever there is an EU law, like | :42:12. | :42:16. | |
our trade with the EU and our trade outside the EU, parts of employment | :42:17. | :42:19. | |
and discrimination laws, the British courts can ask the ECJ to rule on | :42:20. | :42:24. | |
it, which it does about two dozen times a year. That would end, if the | :42:25. | :42:28. | |
government gets its way, and stops that process after Brexit. Because | :42:29. | :42:33. | |
we will not be obliged to be under EU law? No, unless we end up | :42:34. | :42:38. | |
committing to stay integrated, in our withdrawal agreement with the | :42:39. | :42:42. | |
European Union. Give us an idea about the sorts of areas, some | :42:43. | :42:46. | |
specific examples, where the ECJ has stepped in and made a difference? | :42:47. | :42:50. | |
One example from a few years ago was a lady fired from a law firm in | :42:51. | :42:56. | |
London, allegedly because her son was disabled and she missed a lot of | :42:57. | :43:00. | |
time off work. The British courts said we can't help you. The dish | :43:01. | :43:04. | |
courts only help you when the employee is disabled, and you are | :43:05. | :43:09. | |
not disabled. -- British courts. But the ECJ said it could help her, | :43:10. | :43:12. | |
because she was fired because of disability. It doesn't have to be | :43:13. | :43:16. | |
your disability, it is enough that it -- that it is your son's. There | :43:17. | :43:20. | |
have been cases where trading is have been disappointed weight | :43:21. | :43:23. | |
doesn't help employees. There have been many situations. There have | :43:24. | :43:27. | |
been times when the European Court has taken a different view to what | :43:28. | :43:30. | |
would happen if in the UK law applied. What is the process, once | :43:31. | :43:34. | |
we do Brexit, in terms of what laws exist and do not exist, if we are | :43:35. | :43:39. | |
not obliged to comply with EU laws? The government has tabled its | :43:40. | :43:42. | |
withdrawal bill, which would keep all the EU laws in force and now, | :43:43. | :43:46. | |
and then can start picking them off one by one. Parliament will amend or | :43:47. | :43:50. | |
remove them over the years. That all depends on what we agree with the | :43:51. | :43:54. | |
European Union in the withdrawal agreement and in future treaties. | :43:55. | :43:57. | |
The government has said it might want to stick to applying some | :43:58. | :44:00. | |
European laws on cross-border family law disputes, on animal health, so | :44:01. | :44:05. | |
that products cross the border between Northern Ireland and the | :44:06. | :44:08. | |
Republic of Ireland. If you are sticking to EU laws, surely the EU | :44:09. | :44:11. | |
Court of justice should still be involved. We will be speaking to the | :44:12. | :44:16. | |
justice minister and about 20 of 25 minutes. What is the essential thing | :44:17. | :44:21. | |
that you think he has to once? What is the crucial point this issue? | :44:22. | :44:26. | |
Well, I think he has to explain what the government's position is in | :44:27. | :44:29. | |
terms of copper mines. I think that is how they are going to try to its | :44:30. | :44:33. | |
plane. The threat in terms of compromise. That redline, it is not | :44:34. | :44:41. | |
a thing about the direct jurisdiction of the ECJ. It might | :44:42. | :44:45. | |
mean that we are not bound by any of their court rulings but our courts | :44:46. | :44:49. | |
can still take them into account. That might be a reasonable | :44:50. | :44:52. | |
compromise for many people. It might not be enough for the EU side. They | :44:53. | :44:57. | |
might want to ECJ to keep applying to certain areas after Brexit, like | :44:58. | :45:02. | |
EU citizens' writes in the UK. So there are people who are anxious for | :45:03. | :45:06. | |
the ECG to have no role, and the European side, which is anxious for | :45:07. | :45:09. | |
the ECJ to have a continuing role. Interesting stuff. Thank you. And we | :45:10. | :45:13. | |
will be speaking to the justice minister on that issue after seven | :45:14. | :45:14. | |
o'clock. It is sunny on the roof! | :45:15. | :45:27. | |
Good morning. It is sunny. Quite barmy as well. We've got blue skies | :45:28. | :45:32. | |
in London and the temperature generally across the UK is between | :45:33. | :45:39. | |
15 and about 18 Celsius at the moment. In Northern Ireland it is | :45:40. | :45:43. | |
12- 13 Celsius and that's because the cold weather front has gone | :45:44. | :45:48. | |
through Northern Ireland. That's what brought the rain last night. | :45:49. | :45:51. | |
Currently we've got some thunderstorms, heavy thunderstorms, | :45:52. | :45:57. | |
to western Scotland, central Scotland, in the north-east England | :45:58. | :46:01. | |
and east Anglia and the rain is all moving north-eastwards. The forecast | :46:02. | :46:06. | |
for today is that rain will clear north-eastwards, although it will | :46:07. | :46:09. | |
drag its heels in the north-east of Scotland. The high did we have | :46:10. | :46:14. | |
sunshine and showers. If we start off by looking at the UK as a whole | :46:15. | :46:18. | |
you can see by nine o'clock this is the current picture. We have that | :46:19. | :46:22. | |
rain again drifting off eastwards across Scotland and northern | :46:23. | :46:26. | |
England. The Hind it we have fresher conditions. The sun will come out. | :46:27. | :46:31. | |
Many of us have sunshine already and we will have showers developing. | :46:32. | :46:40. | |
Gentle breezes today. So by the afternoon what we will have is the | :46:41. | :46:43. | |
raining north-east Scotland. Again into the Northern Isles. But western | :46:44. | :46:48. | |
Scotland will brighten up nicely, with sunshine. A lovely afternoon in | :46:49. | :46:53. | |
north-west England, with sunshine as well. The dregs of a weather front. | :46:54. | :46:58. | |
As we come further south there's a line of cloud. Again the lower end | :46:59. | :47:02. | |
of the weather front. Around that it will be quite warm and humid for | :47:03. | :47:07. | |
some, especially east Anglia. As we drift behind the weather front we | :47:08. | :47:11. | |
are back into the sunshine. We could catch showers across south-west | :47:12. | :47:13. | |
England and also across parts of Wales. Northern Ireland, after the | :47:14. | :47:18. | |
deluge of rain we have a brighter day, with sunshine and a few | :47:19. | :47:23. | |
showers. Through the course of the evening and overnight will have the | :47:24. | :47:27. | |
rain continues to push up through the Northern Isles and northern | :47:28. | :47:30. | |
Scotland. There will be showers into the west of the UK, but equally | :47:31. | :47:34. | |
there will be dry weather. A cooler ad fresher night than the one just | :47:35. | :47:39. | |
gone. Generally we have the low teens in terms of Celsius. Tomorrow | :47:40. | :47:45. | |
we start off again with that rain in the Northern Isles. At times | :47:46. | :47:49. | |
drifting into the north of mainland Scotland, for the rest of us a | :47:50. | :47:53. | |
bright day with sunshine and showers. Most of the showers in the | :47:54. | :47:58. | |
west. Temperature wise tomorrow, not as high as today. High teens and low | :47:59. | :48:04. | |
20s. For Friday, many of us have a dry day, with sunny skies. A few | :48:05. | :48:10. | |
showers. Especially in Northern Ireland and western Scotland. | :48:11. | :48:15. | |
Maximum temperature somewhere in the south-east of around about 24 | :48:16. | :48:21. | |
Celsius. If you are in the sunshine and out of the rain it won't feel | :48:22. | :48:25. | |
bad. There is still heavy rain to process during the day in the north | :48:26. | :48:28. | |
of the UK. Does this feel like August to you? | :48:29. | :48:33. | |
It doesn't at all. But I am hopeful September will bring us something | :48:34. | :48:35. | |
nice. Always the optimist. | :48:36. | :48:42. | |
Balances you out then. Perfectly! | :48:43. | :48:49. | |
To put you in an even better mood, let's talk about hills going up. | :48:50. | :48:55. | |
Sorry, but Naga loves it. A money-saving expert has found the | :48:56. | :49:03. | |
overall cost of household bills has gone up by 2.1%. Things like | :49:04. | :49:14. | |
insurance, council tax, up nearly 4%, and energy bills, which are up | :49:15. | :49:22. | |
just over 5%. If it take the average standard variable tariff for the big | :49:23. | :49:29. | |
six energy suppliers it was 100 -- ?1138. You can see here how much | :49:30. | :49:35. | |
they think going up five. Good news, some things haven't been going up as | :49:36. | :49:40. | |
much. Rent and mortgages and fuel. They are pretty steady at the | :49:41. | :49:44. | |
moment. Phone bills have even been falling around 1% on last year. | :49:45. | :49:51. | |
With us is Sally Francis from Money Saving Expert. | :49:52. | :49:55. | |
What things stood out for you? Insurance, up 8%, energy, up 5%, but | :49:56. | :50:04. | |
they aren't necessarily surprising. Energy is in the news frequently. | :50:05. | :50:09. | |
British Gas recently hiked their prices and people are constantly | :50:10. | :50:14. | |
reminded that they are going up. You don't see difference in those car | :50:15. | :50:18. | |
insurance is a big one. While insurance was up in general, car | :50:19. | :50:23. | |
insurance was up just over 12%. That's a huge increase and people | :50:24. | :50:27. | |
are noticing that in their premiums every year. Why did think they are | :50:28. | :50:31. | |
all going up? With energy its wholesale prices. Some are buying | :50:32. | :50:37. | |
their gas in real time. They will argue it's about. It is kind of hard | :50:38. | :50:44. | |
to say. With insurance, explained -- it's blamed on insurance premiums. | :50:45. | :50:50. | |
Whiplash claims, car insurance. They are pushing up insurance as well. So | :50:51. | :50:57. | |
the providers are blaming the whiplash claims and insurance. And | :50:58. | :51:02. | |
then at the other end of things we've got rents and mortgages not | :51:03. | :51:05. | |
going up by much. What is happening there? Mortgage fees, overdraft | :51:06. | :51:12. | |
fees, ranking fees in general were one of the areas where we saw them | :51:13. | :51:16. | |
going down by 1% compared to July last year. So it could be that. The | :51:17. | :51:23. | |
markets are very competitive. So if you keep on top of these things, | :51:24. | :51:30. | |
which is kind of the key, don't leave it on a standard rate. Make | :51:31. | :51:35. | |
sure you are remortgaging when of your fixed tariff and and keep costs | :51:36. | :51:40. | |
down. It's the same process for insurance and energy. So with your | :51:41. | :51:47. | |
energy bills, two thirds of people are on standard variable tariffs and | :51:48. | :51:51. | |
they are going up the most. So make sure you aren't one of those in that | :51:52. | :51:56. | |
group. It could save you hundreds every year. It talked about | :51:57. | :52:00. | |
competition and that's why we've seen some falls. Phone bills is | :52:01. | :52:04. | |
probably the obvious one. There's so much condition in the market. And | :52:05. | :52:09. | |
it's one of those areas where people are more on top of it, you are used | :52:10. | :52:14. | |
as a genial phone, generally because you want a new handset. It's one of | :52:15. | :52:18. | |
those things where people do tend to keep on top of it. They are aware | :52:19. | :52:22. | |
that they can call provider and say, hey, we've seen a deal elsewhere. So | :52:23. | :52:27. | |
there is that market which I think makes it more competitive and could | :52:28. | :52:30. | |
be the reason why prices aren't going up as much. Interesting. They | :52:31. | :52:34. | |
give for your time. That's it from me for now. Thanks very much. | :52:35. | :52:43. | |
In the early '90s, the British electronic duo KLF churned out hit | :52:44. | :52:49. | |
after hit including 3 AM Eternal and Justified and Ancient. | :52:50. | :52:52. | |
But then in 1994, they burnt a million in cash and announced | :52:53. | :52:55. | |
they were no more, promising to return in 23 years. | :52:56. | :52:58. | |
At the stroke of midnight last night, the 23 years were up, | :52:59. | :53:02. | |
and KLF reappeared at a bookshop in Liverpool. | :53:03. | :53:04. | |
Our entertainment correspondent Colin Paterson was there. | :53:05. | :53:14. | |
23 seconds after midnight on the 23rd of August, 23 years to the day | :53:15. | :53:21. | |
they burnt ?1 million, KLF returned, driving an ice cream van. Fans had | :53:22. | :53:31. | |
come from as far as Australia and the US, with three days of secret | :53:32. | :53:36. | |
events. This is the group of my childhood and adolescence. They | :53:37. | :53:40. | |
shake everything I knew about in music and art and here I am today | :53:41. | :53:45. | |
meeting them for the first time. I can't put words to describe how I'm | :53:46. | :53:48. | |
feeling right now. We don't know what's happening, but we're all here | :53:49. | :53:53. | |
because it means so much. First up, a book signing, are stamping. -- or. | :53:54. | :54:03. | |
And things were perhaps not quite as rock 'n' roll as they used to be. We | :54:04. | :54:12. | |
want anything to drink? Tea. How things change. KLF were so big they | :54:13. | :54:23. | |
one best British group and they pretended to machine-gun the | :54:24. | :54:25. | |
audience and left a dead sheep outside the after show party. Then, | :54:26. | :54:34. | |
two years later, they burnt ?1 million on the Scottish island. We | :54:35. | :54:39. | |
don't know what it is, what we did. Some days we do. But I've never felt | :54:40. | :54:51. | |
it was wrong. They said they would return after 23 years and fans | :54:52. | :54:56. | |
finally got to meet them again, although there were strict rules, | :54:57. | :55:02. | |
including no conversation, no hugging and no selfies. I was told | :55:03. | :55:08. | |
there would be fairly be no interviews and they wouldn't say | :55:09. | :55:11. | |
anything to me, but... What's taken is a long? It didn't take long. Got | :55:12. | :55:22. | |
something! And all the while, outside, the ice cream van was being | :55:23. | :55:29. | |
guarded by one of only two people who witnessed them burning the | :55:30. | :55:32. | |
money. It was a fun evening. I'd gone to bed and they said, come on, | :55:33. | :55:39. | |
we're going to do it now and we drove down to the boathouse. 23 | :55:40. | :55:48. | |
years ago today and it still being talked about. Via? I don't know! | :55:49. | :55:57. | |
People do like to talk. Do you wish they still did music? No, they're | :55:58. | :56:07. | |
boring and all the! Carrier left no longer making music, still making | :56:08. | :56:15. | |
mischief -- KLF. They are law onto themselves. | :56:16. | :56:20. | |
Full marks to Colin for trying. He tried his hardest! Never gives | :56:21. | :56:24. | |
up. For a couple of rubber stamps. They | :56:25. | :56:29. | |
don't regret the ?1 million. No selfies. At least he got a shot | :56:30. | :56:33. | |
of Gimpo. Time now to get the news, | :56:34. | :56:35. | |
travel and weather where you are. I'm back with the latest | :56:36. | :59:54. | |
from the BBC London newsroom Hello this is Breakfast, | :59:55. | :59:59. | |
with Dan Walker and Naga Munchetty. Taking back control of UK laws | :00:00. | :00:04. | |

about whether the Northern I didn't want her worried also her | :00:46. | :01:02. | |

retaining the women's Rugby World Cup. They beat France in a tense | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
semi-final in Belfast, to set up a semi-final against New Zealand this | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
weekend. And Carol has the weather. Good morning from the roof of | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
Broadcasting House, where the sun is beating down. We have seen heavy | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
overnight rain across north-western Ireland and Scotland. That is moving | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
east through today, some of its thundery. For England and Wales, a | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
drier and brighter day with sunshine, that we still have showers | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
and currently some of them are also thundery. I'll have more details on | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
15 minutes. The government will today outline | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
how it intends to take back control It's vowed to end the direct | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice saying it's "neither | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
necessary or appropriate." The issue is one of the most | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
contentious in negotiations Theresa May said it was a red | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
line for the government. The Luxembourg court ensures | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
all member states abide by EU law. It settles disputes | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
and its judgements are binding Our reporter Adam Fleming | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
is outside the European Court Adam, what's likely to be | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
the reaction to this latest Good morning. The European Union has | :02:22. | :02:44. | |
been very clear, they see a role for the European Court of Justice, the | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
golden building behind me, after Brexit. Particularly on this issue | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
of guaranteeing the rights of EU citizens in the UK after the UK has | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
left. That is very important for them. The government today is going | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
to say in its paper that there is no need for the Court of justice to be | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
involved in British life to that extent after Brexit, and they are | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
going to give examples of other mechanisms from around the world | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
whereby groups of countries solve disputes without a so-called foreign | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
courts intervening in another country. It is all horrendously | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
complicated but this is a big deal for Brexit negotiations. It is quite | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
a big sticking point when it comes to the negotiations on citizens' | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
writes so far. Looking into the future, we will have to wait and see | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
for further rounds of talks. The fact is that people will be looking | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
at this paper that the government publishes in the next couple of | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
hours very closely. The reason is this. The Prime Minister used to | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
say, we are going to end the jurisdiction of the ECJ. Now | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
ministers talk about ending the direct jurisdiction of the ECJ. That | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
has people asking, are they going to soft and their stance, or is it just | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
more complicated than people thought. -- soften their stance. We | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
will get a few more clues when that paper is published around lunchtime. | :04:06. | :04:06. | |
And in ten minutes we'll speak to the Justice Minister Dominic | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
Police have used tear gas to disperse protestors outside | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
He attacked media coverage of his response to violent | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
disturbances in Charlottesville calling it dishonest. | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
Our correspondent, James Cook is in Phoenix, he spoke to us | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
James Connor it was very busy where you were, with protesters and police | :04:24. | :04:37. | |
clashing earlier? They have all gone home, that is the summary. They have | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
had enough, and they left. It really didn't last long. It was quite | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
fierce for a moment or two, maybe half an hour or so, there was a lot | :04:45. | :04:51. | |
of tear gas in the air. The police were determined to clear the streets | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
and they did so very quickly. I personally didn't see any of what I | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
would describe as violence involving the protesters. There was people | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
coming up to the police and people shouting at the police, but really, | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
it was a question of a crowd that had been here, a very large crowd, | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
to protest against Donald Trump, speaking inside a venue here in | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
front of a larger crowd was a small number, a relatively small number of | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
those protesters stayed. The police used tear gas to clear the streets | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
and now, as you can see, the streets are clear. James, just briefly, on | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
what President Trump was saying, quite inflammatory comments, he was | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
making it clear he was unhappy with media coverage lately? Yes, he | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
ferociously and outflanked attacked the media in the rally speech, to | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
the delight of the audience. -- ferociously and at length. The media | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
in the middle didn't like it so much, we were singled out for | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
catcalls and doing. He is trying to pin the blame for his comments about | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
Charlottesville. He says that he denounced the neo-Nazis, but missed | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
out a crucial phrase in recounting what he said, which was that he | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
denounced violence on many sides, and it was that which people | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
objected to. Princes William and Harry have been | :06:03. | :06:03. | |
recalling the week of their mother's death and her funeral | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
in a new BBC documentary. Both said they were bewildered | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
by the grieving crowds on the day, adding that walking behind her | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
coffin had been a "family decision." Prince Harry says it's hard to get | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
over the feels of anger I think one of the hardest things to | :06:16. | :06:29. | |
come to terms with is the fact that is the people that chased her into | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
the tunnel, were the same people that were taking photographs of her | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
loss she was still dying on the back seat of the car. -- while she was. | :06:38. | :06:48. | |
Powerful words from both Prince Harry Prince William. We will have | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
more on that interview with the two princes in about a quarter of an | :06:54. | :06:54. | |
hour. The suspects left court in Madrid | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
yesterday evening after a day-long But judicial papers have | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
revealed what was said. One of the accused arrived | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
in his hospital pyjamas, still nursing the wounds sustained | :07:06. | :07:07. | |
in a blast at an alleged bomb Mohamed Chemlal, who is 21, | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
was the only one to admit his role Identity theft is reaching epidemic | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
levels with almost 500 cases a day, according to a leading fraud | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
prevention organisation. Cifas says there were nearly 90,000 | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
cases in the first six ID fraudsters obtain personal | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
information before applying for loans or store | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
cards in their name. The number of complaints about bin | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
collections which were upheld by the local government watchdog | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
rose sharply this year The Local Government | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
and Social Care Ombudsman has warned out-sourcing of bin collections | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
to private companies is at the root In Birmingham, the backlog caused | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
by the recent bin strikes A stark example of how quickly | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
rubbish piles up when the system For many of us, waste | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
collection is the most obvious service local authorities supply, | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
and complaints, although a fraction of the hundreds of millions | :08:01. | :08:02. | |
of collections that take place, The local government | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
ombudsman receives around 500 enquiries and complaints about waste | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
collection every year. Two years ago they upheld | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
in 59% of cases. But last year that figure had | :08:11. | :08:12. | |
risen as high as 81%. The ombudsman can be contacted | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
when somebody is dissatisfied at how their complaint | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
is being handled. Problems began when councils fail | :08:19. | :08:30. | |
to listen to complaints about missed collections and other | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
problems with bins. We have seen cases | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
where other people have waited three months | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
to have their bins collected. In one case, and man | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
waited ten months to have his bin taken back | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
to the right place. The body that represents councils, | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
the local government Association, says that around 80% | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
of residents are happy But it argues ?2.2 billion worth | :08:58. | :08:59. | |
of cuts by the government to local It can be a dirty job, | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
but somebody has And that someone | :09:05. | :09:12. | |
is your local council. A list of the top 100 comedy films | :09:13. | :09:25. | |
of all time has been released by BBC culture, who has polled over 250 | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
film critics from 52 countries. The 1959 classic Some | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
like It Hot came out on top, The top 20 films are all | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
English-language with the exception of French film Playtime, | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
but despite similarities in the top choices, there were clear | :09:40. | :09:41. | |
differences in what people of different nationalities | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
found funny. May I? Help yourself! So this 1959 | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
classic, that is what came out on top. Do you agree with all of that? | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
I will give you the top ten. Yours is Blazing Saddles. No, that was | :09:58. | :10:07. | |
yours. Mine was Trading Places. The generals, from 1926. This is Spinal | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
Cap. Life of Brian. Duck soup. Groundhog day. Annie Hall, Woody | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
Allen's film. Doctor Strangelove. Some like it hot, that is number | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
one. Thanks for all your suggestions for films that he would make number | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
one. Quite a few are suggesting Anchorman. Yes, thank you and much. | :10:28. | :10:35. | |
Nobody potatoes you and marking the autocue, please. -- put a question | :10:36. | :10:43. | |
mark in the autocue. It was a red line of Theresa May's - | :10:44. | :10:45. | |
to end the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
in the UK post-Brexit. Today the government will set | :10:50. | :10:51. | |
out its plans to stop its influence So what does the European | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
Court of Justice do? Adam Fleming has been | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
to its home in Luxembourg. There are actually two courts here. | :10:59. | :11:21. | |
The Court of Justice, when national courts can ask for EU laws to be | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
clarified, and EU countries can get into trouble for breaking EU rules. | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
And the General Court, where decisions made by European | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
institutions can be challenged by countries, companies and | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
individuals. But remember, this is absolutely not be European Court of | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
Human Rights. That is totally different, totally separate. So why | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
does the ECJ matter? Well, recent rulings which impact you and me | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
included a decision that if you fall sick during annual leave from work, | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
you are allowed more time off. Plus, it was the ECJ which decided that | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
anybody who wanted to access benefits in the UK had to prove they | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
lived in the country. However, the ECJ overruled British tax rules, | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
forcing HMRC to refund some taxes back to a number of businesses. This | :12:11. | :12:17. | |
is every judgement from the 1950s to about 2010 in multiple languages. To | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
supporters of this place, it is amazing. Transnational justice in | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
action. To critics, these are examples of foreign judges | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
interfering in other countries. So where do we think this place will | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
feature in the Brexit negotiations? The EU wants a big future role for | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
the ECJ, particularly when it comes to the rights of EU citizens living | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
in the UK. The British government is not quite so sure. Anyway, case | :12:45. | :12:51. | |
definitely not closed. Very impressive. Good pose. | :12:52. | :12:53. | |
With Brexit negotiations set to begin again on Monday, | :12:54. | :12:55. | |
let's find out more on where the government stands on this | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
crucial point from Justice Minister Dominic Raab. | :12:59. | :13:00. | |
He joins us from our Westminster studio. | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
Good morning, and thank you for coming on the programme. Can I start | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
by giving you a quote from a Labour MP, Chuka Umunna, who says that | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
nothing the government says it wants to deliver on Brexit, be it on | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
trade, citizens rights, or judicial co-operation, can be achieved | :13:19. | :13:20. | |
without the dispute resolution system involving some rule from | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
European judges. How do you see the relationship post-Brexit? We are | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
leaving the EU. We are taking back control of our laws. That will mean | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
ending the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice. But we | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
also want to forge a positive new partnership with our European | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
friends, and the way that you preserve any new friendship is to | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
have a sensible mechanism for managing dispute. So that can be | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
done, as we will set out in our paper today, for using the | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
diplomatic channel to iron out any creases swiftly. We may need | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
subcommittees on technical issues, and ultimately, that will draw on | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
international practice and the EU's in practice with independent third | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
countries. I think the likely outcome is that we will need some | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
form of arbitration. The way that typically works is that the UK | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
appoints an arbitrator, the EU appoints one, they may agree to a | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
third one, and between them they settle bones of contention. That is | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
the kind of process that both sides can have trust and confidence in. | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
That is what we are looking for, dispute settlement process which | :14:25. | :14:26. | |
ironed out any creases and makes sure that our friendship and a | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
partnership on trade and security and other areas of cooperation can | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
go from strength to strength. It sounds very long winded. How long do | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
you think it will take to enshrine EU law into UK law? You can, as you | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
say, in these disputes quickly, because that is the important part, | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
isn't it? It is to make different things. The EU withdraw a Bill will | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
make sure we avoid the legal cliff edge, and take back democratic | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
control fully over all areas of EU law. -- withdrawal bill. At as we | :14:53. | :14:58. | |
leave the EU, both in the sense of the terms of exit but also with the | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
new future partnership with a quality signing at international | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
level, we will need a for managing disputes. Realistically, I don't | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
think we could allow the UK Supreme Court to resolve disputes for both | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
sides. That would be lopsided. We feel the same way about the ECJ. If | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
you look at global practice, and as an international lawyer before I | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
entered politics, I worked very closely on this, and indeed if you | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
look at EU practice, with South Korea, with Canada, the way that we | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
would most likely, I suspect, resolve disputes, is through the | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
arbitration process. And that is a process which is sensible, well | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
used, well versed, which both sides can have confidence in. Because what | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
we want to do is make sure that disputes don't get out of hand. With | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
your international legal back ground, no doubt you know that | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
compromise is a crucial point with regards to this. When Theresa May | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
said there was going to be no future role for the European Court of | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
Justice, isn't that a place which gives are no flexibility now when | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
going to those negotiations? I don't think so. As I have explained, we | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
need a process for resolving disputes at the international level | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
that of sides have confidence in. Surely putting down a red line does | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
not make it easy to get a deal which is good for the UK. That is why we | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
have spent a lot of time looking at the EU practice, with South Korea, | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
Canada and other countries. Of course, it doesn't mean that we | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
won't keep half an eye on the cases of the EU, or that the EU won't keep | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
half an eye on the case law of the UK. It is precisely because we are | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
taking back control over our laws, and we envisage there will be some | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
divergences of future. We do want to keep half an eye on what the other | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
side is doing and they will do the same with us, so that we can | :16:40. | :16:41. | |
intelligently and sensibly avoid problems down the track. That is | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
different from accepting that the ECJ would decide disputes between | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
the two sides. That would be lopsided and partisan and I'm afraid | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
that is not on the cards. OK. Something that the ECJ has done in | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
recent years, examples we were talking about earlier with a law | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
expert, was to help sick workers on annual leave to claim more time off, | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
and improve things like air quality. Under the new arrangement, whenever | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
that comes about, who would safeguard things like that? Who | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
would come in and get involved and say, actually, that isn't there and | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
we need to turn this and chase this to make it this way, so we are | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
protecting workers rights whatever that might be? In relation to any | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
private rights, they will be transferred from the EU into UK law. | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
We will then be able to make sure overtime that we keep the rights or | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
the laws that we want to keep, and we have made it very clear on | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
workers rights that there will be no diversion, and ultimately, UK | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
citizens or EU citizens will be able to go through U.K.'s courts -- UK | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
courts, up to the Supreme Court. I think the Supreme Court should do | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
what it says on the tin, which is have the last say on the laws of the | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
land. You make it sound like it is an easy process. This is going to be | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
a very long winded way of changing our justice system, isn't it? You | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
can't do these things in weeks and months. This is a process that will | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
take years. You are conflating a lot of different things. There is the | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
domestic law side of things, which we will be doing in the EU | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
withdrawal bill, the second reading is this September, we are cracking | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
on with that, and ultimately will be taking back democratic control over | :18:07. | :18:10. | |
our laws. Vendor is the question of the relationship at international | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
level we have with the EU. We want that to thrive. Yes, we do need | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
essence will process for managing disputes. There is a whole range of | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
practice in prison in Southgate, including on the EU side. -- | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
practice and Presidents out there. The EU does not have a clause would | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
any independent country which allows the ECJ to have compulsory | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
jurisdiction. So we are drawing on Oval and global practice, but also | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
looking at it from the EU's point of view. -- overwhelming global | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
practice. We need something that both sides have confidence in, so we | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
can make sure that our relationship with Europe goes from strength to | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
strength over the years ahead. Thank you for your time this morning. That | :18:48. | :18:49. | |
was Dominic Raab. Let's find out what happening with | :18:50. | :18:59. | |
the weather. It's lovely and sunny, but not for everyone? | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
That's right. Good morning. What we have at the moment is a line of | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
heavy and thundery rain. It has crossed Northern Ireland and western | :19:09. | :19:10. | |
Scotland and is pushing north-eastwards. It is particularly | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
heavy and extending into northern England. We've got a few | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
thunderstorms in the north-east of England and East Anglia. They will | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
push into the North Sea. It still is a warm start to the day for many | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
areas. In the UK, widely 15- 18 Celsius. In Northern Ireland its 12- | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
13. A cold front is going through. The forecast for today is that band | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
of rain moving north-eastwards, clearing most of Scotland and all of | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
northern England. Behind it we have sunny spells and a few showers. | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
Looking at the charts you can see where by 9am we've got the brain. | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
It's across the central area of Scotland, northern England, heading | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
eastwards and as we come to the south it is dry with sunshine, there | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
is still sunshine, especially down across eastern England, towards the | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
south coast. For Scotland this afternoon the rain will be ensconced | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
in the north-east and Northern Isles. Behind it, by the skies, | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
sunny spells and showers. The rain by then will be in the north-east of | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
skill -- Scotland. Sunshine in the north-west. Further south again | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
through the Midlands and in the east Anglia, Essex, Kent, the Isle of | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
Wight, we have cloud around and also sunshine. That's the weather front. | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
Ahead of it in east Anglia you could get 25, possibly more. Behind it it | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
will be fresher, but there will be sunshine around. Having said that it | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
would be bone dry. We could catch the odd shower and whales. For | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
Northern Ireland after the deluge of rain we had it drying up nicely and | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
we have sunny spells developing, with a few showers. This evening and | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
overnight the rain is continuing in the north-east of Scotland and the | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
Northern Isles. In the west of the UK we have showers coming in and | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
we'll also have clear skies. It will be a fresh night, with overnight | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
lows around about 12- 14 Celsius. Tomorrow we still have the rain in | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
the Northern Isles. At times fringe into the far north of mainland | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
Scotland. But for many of us tomorrow it will be a dry day, with | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
sunshine and showers. Most of the showers will be in the west. Wheezy, | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
especially in southern areas, and we have temperatures in the high teens | :21:33. | :21:42. | |
and into the low 20s. It will be dry, with bright spells at times. | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
Sunny spells at times as well and showers. Showers mainly across | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
Northern Ireland and Scotland. Some of those will merge. Heavier showers | :21:50. | :21:56. | |
at times. By then temperatures up to 24 Celsius. So the weather is all | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
over the place, but watch out for the heavy rain moving north-east | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
withdrew the course of the day. Good morning. Thank you very much. | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
Princes William and Harry have been talking about the week | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
of their mother's death and her funeral in a new BBC documentary. | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
In the programme, to be shown this Sunday, they describe feeling | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
bewildered by the grieving crowds in London who, | :22:21. | :22:22. | |
they say, sobbed and wailed and wanted to grab them. | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
Both say it was a collective, family decision to walk | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
behind their mother's coffin on the day of the funeral, | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
Our Royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell reports. | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
It was the week when a nation mourned, and the monarchy | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
At its heart were two boys, William and Harry, then aged 15 | :22:42. | :22:48. | |
and 12, grieving for the loss of their mother, but required | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
by their royal position to appear in public and help assuage | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
In the BBC documentary, William and Harry speak | :22:55. | :23:04. | |
of the numbness and confusion they felt when they were told | :23:05. | :23:06. | |
And in Harry's case it is clear there is still anger at the French | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
photographers who were pursuing Diana's speeding car in the moments | :23:13. | :23:14. | |
before the crash in the Alma Tunnel, in Paris. | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
I think one of the hardest things to come to terms with is the fact | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
that the people who chased her into the tunnel were the same people | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
who were taking photographs of her while she was dying | :23:28. | :23:29. | |
We have been told that from people that know that it was the case. | :23:30. | :23:43. | |
She had quite a severe head injury, but she was still very much alive | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
Those people who caused the accident, instead of helping, | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
were taking photographs of her dying on the back seat. | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
And then those photographs made their way back to news desks. | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
William and Harry were in Balmoral when they heard the news in Paris. | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
They speak in support of their grandmother for her efforts | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
"He tried to do his best for us", says Harry. | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
When they moved from Balmoral to London, | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
And it's clear that they found the experience bewildering, | :24:11. | :24:30. | |
with so many people sobbing and wanting to touch them. | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
Of the decision to walk behind their mother's coffin, | :24:34. | :24:35. | |
both say it was a collective family decision and both say they felt | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
When you have something so traumatic as the death of your mother | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
when you are 15, as, very sadly, many people have experienced, | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
and no one wants to experience, it leaves you, you know, | :24:48. | :24:50. | |
it will make or break you, and I wouldn't let it break me. | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
I wanted her to be proud of the person I would become. | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
I didn't want her worried, or her legacy to be that William | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
or Harry were completely and utterly devastated by it. | :25:01. | :25:02. | |
And all of her hard work, love and energy she put into us | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
when we were younger would go to waste. | :25:07. | :25:14. | |
They were children coping with their own grief | :25:15. | :25:16. | |
and the attention of a grieving nation, and who kept | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
going to honour their mother's memory. | :25:20. | :25:29. | |
Really powerful. It is important to remember how young they were at the | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
time and a reminder that it never gets easier. | :25:36. | :25:37. | |
And being in the public eye constantly. | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
'Diana, Seven Days' will be on BBC One, this Sunday evening | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
We're talking about this summer's bug bear - wasps. | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
We get to do some show and tell stuff. | :25:51. | :25:58. | |
You have long dreamt of being a Blue Peter presenter. | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
Scientists want you to do some research on wasps. They want you to | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
catch them and send them in. There is a little bit of deaths involved | :26:08. | :26:10. | |
in this. You have to kill the wasp. | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
Well, unfortunately it drowns. You take a plastic wattle, you get a | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
grown-up, so we weren't allowed to take the top off this. Then you get | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
some orange juice or beer. I did ask for beer but we weren't given any. | :26:26. | :26:34. | |
And then you put that in upside down and what happens is the wasp goes | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
in, is attracted to the orange juice or the beer, and then has a little | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
drink. Unfortunately it can't get back out, so the wasp grounds. Then | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
what you do is you take that off and you pick up the wasp and send it in. | :26:49. | :26:52. | |
I thought I demonstrated that rather nicely. | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
Well, we will be back with the wasp murderer at 7:30am. | :26:58. | :27:06. | |
Wasp facts. They eat two to three kilograms of | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
garden peas. Pest! Not peas! | :27:11. | :27:20. | |
I was given new insight into the wasp diet. I was just recovering | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
from your wasp murderer. I would like to read those facts myself. I | :27:26. | :27:32. | |
don't like when it is forced on the screen. | :27:33. | :27:34. | |
It is quite easy to say that wasps have no point, they are just | :27:35. | :27:40. | |
bothersome. But it all of the garden peas! | :27:41. | :27:45. | |
More pea news I'm back with the latest | :27:46. | :31:05. | |

sporadic clashes between For a time, it looked | :32:06. | :32:19. | |
quite difficult. It looks like there would be | :32:20. | :32:23. | |
significant problems. There was lots of | :32:24. | :32:25. | |
tear gas in the air. But in the end it died | :32:26. | :32:28. | |
away quite quickly. We can wander over | :32:29. | :32:30. | |
here and see what is The police have | :32:31. | :32:32. | |
really pulled back. The protesters have | :32:33. | :32:35. | |
moved away as well. The police have gathered | :32:36. | :32:36. | |
here to reassess the situation. To be honest, there are hardly any | :32:37. | :32:41. | |
protesters on the streets There is a small crowd | :32:42. | :32:44. | |
on the other side of the road. It's quite easy at the moment, | :32:45. | :32:49. | |
there is a small crowd over there and a few more | :32:50. | :32:54. | |
on the side of the street. An hour or so ago, | :32:55. | :32:57. | |
there were a lot more police on the streets, | :32:58. | :33:00. | |
and a lot more protesters, Two men suspected of being behind | :33:01. | :33:02. | |

for dancing the Macarena in a busy A video of the teenager's | :33:53. | :33:56. | |
performance was posted on Twitter and quickly went viral, | :33:57. | :33:59. | |
but now he's been accused It is not clear if he will be | :34:00. | :34:02. | |
formally charged by the public I know that you have particularly | :34:03. | :34:16. | |
been impressed by him. I love his moves. He is so co-ordinated, he is | :34:17. | :34:20. | |
passionate about the music. Look at that. It is great. We can't show you | :34:21. | :34:26. | |
this, but Tracy, our floor manager, is grooving away to the macarena | :34:27. | :34:33. | |
this morning. That boy should have got an award, not been arrested. | :34:34. | :34:35. | |
Coming up on the programme, Carol will have the weather. | :34:36. | :34:37. | |
But let's talk to sally right now. Did that get huge eagle in a little | :34:38. | :34:43. | |
bit? Which one is the macarena again? Great, a beautiful example of | :34:44. | :34:49. | |
the macarena. I think possibly some dancing in the streets last night | :34:50. | :34:55. | |
for England's women's rugby players. They had a bruising encounter with | :34:56. | :35:01. | |
France last night. Guess what? They won. | :35:02. | :35:03. | |
England will play New Zealand in the final of the Women's Rugby | :35:04. | :35:06. | |
World Cup after a tense semifinal victory over France. | :35:07. | :35:08. | |
Celebrations feel sweeter when you have fought | :35:09. | :35:11. | |
England expected a struggle with France, and that's | :35:12. | :35:17. | |
Inseparable in the first half, the world champions | :35:18. | :35:23. | |
England inched ahead through the boot of Emily Scarratt. | :35:24. | :35:25. | |
But Shannon Izar refused to let France fall | :35:26. | :35:27. | |
3-3 at half-time, France levelled through sheer | :35:28. | :35:30. | |
Even England's first try was ground out inch by inch on the rainsoaked | :35:31. | :35:35. | |
A French fumble pounced upon, and a place in the final secured. | :35:36. | :35:43. | |
It sounds like an easy win, but it wasn't. | :35:44. | :35:52. | |
We were certainly going for it, certainly going for a place | :35:53. | :35:55. | |
It was very much an attritional battle. | :35:56. | :35:59. | |
Fortunately the mindset came through and we got the edge | :36:00. | :36:02. | |
and I think we got what we deserved tonight. | :36:03. | :36:09. | |
So England are through an even tougher | :36:10. | :36:12. | |

They were pushed all the way, with Astana taking a 4-1 lead. | :36:55. | :36:58. | |

and discriminatory" behaviour by Sampson. | :37:41. | :37:41. | |

The build-up went up a gear in Las Vegas a few hours ago | :38:41. | :38:44. | |
with the first media event attended by thousands of fans. | :38:45. | :38:47. | |
UFC champion McGregor is the underdog for the fight | :38:48. | :38:50. | |
It is all about giving the fans what they want to see. I have been around | :38:51. | :39:09. | |
the sport for so many years and this is the last one. Connor can talk the | :39:10. | :39:14. | |
talk, will the walk the walk? We will have to see. That's what makes | :39:15. | :39:19. | |
this fight so intriguing. I have been off two years. It feels like I | :39:20. | :39:23. | |
have lost a fuse that is. We will just see. -- lost a few steps. | :39:24. | :39:32. | |
Connor doing a great job of working the crowd, unlike me. Did you hear | :39:33. | :39:42. | |
that? Dan was giving us facts about wasps earlier, reading off our very | :39:43. | :39:46. | |
small monitors. And one of the facts was that wasps eat two to three | :39:47. | :39:52. | |
kilograms of garden pests. Kilograms! In how long? Well, you | :39:53. | :39:58. | |
know what television is like sometimes. While we were talking | :39:59. | :40:02. | |
about wasps, somebody shouted in my ear, read the facts about wasps! | :40:03. | :40:09. | |
They eat a lot of peas. Well, obviously they don't eat peas. Just | :40:10. | :40:13. | |
to clear that up. Is it broccoli or cauliflower instead? It is! World... | :40:14. | :40:21. | |
I don't know how to segue into the next thing. | :40:22. | :40:22. | |
It's something we've been speaking about a lot on Breakfast recently - | :40:23. | :40:25. | |
The number of complaints upheld by the the local government watchdog | :40:26. | :40:29. | |
You've been getting in touch with us about it. | :40:30. | :40:34. | |
gripe is when the collection team drop objects from bins and just | :40:35. | :40:38. | |
She says, "The pavements are often littered with rubbish after bin | :40:39. | :40:43. | |
Paul says, "I'm disabled and can't always get someone to take them out | :40:44. | :40:46. | |
so I missed the last collection and have to wait another three weeks | :40:47. | :40:50. | |
Steve says, "I put out four open top boxes for recycling every fortnight | :40:51. | :40:55. | |
and all of them are full to overflowing and get blown | :40:56. | :40:58. | |
We obviously have a lock to talk about. We can speak to Paul Conroy, | :40:59. | :41:14. | |
the director of intake and assessment at the local government | :41:15. | :41:17. | |
and social care ombudsman. Thank you for joining us. Did you manage to | :41:18. | :41:22. | |
hear some of the complaints there from our viewers? Yes. That morning. | :41:23. | :41:27. | |
Thanks for having me. These complaints, I mean, they are not | :41:28. | :41:31. | |
ones that are surprising to us, but there has been a rise in the number | :41:32. | :41:35. | |
of complaints acted upon. Tell us why? Sorry, you are cutting out | :41:36. | :41:42. | |
slightly. There has been an increase in the number of cases being upheld, | :41:43. | :41:47. | |
the number of complaints upheld by the ombudsman, about bin | :41:48. | :41:51. | |
collections. Can you tell us why? Yes. The reason we put this report | :41:52. | :41:57. | |
out today is, I think, we are not sure why we are seeing so many | :41:58. | :42:02. | |
complaints coming to an ombudsman about something which I think is | :42:03. | :42:06. | |
fairly straightforward, bin collections, and secondly, why are | :42:07. | :42:10. | |
that in four out of every five cases we are looking at, we are actually | :42:11. | :42:13. | |
upholding the complaints and saying that our significant problems. Aside | :42:14. | :42:21. | |
from what your viewers have reported about Reef use being strewn down the | :42:22. | :42:27. | |
street, and not being cleaned up, and missed collections, another | :42:28. | :42:30. | |
point alluded to was that very often, people who rely on assisted | :42:31. | :42:35. | |
collections, where refuse workers collect the bins from a specific | :42:36. | :42:38. | |
content put them back, and that is not happening, yes, there are quite | :42:39. | :42:41. | |
long delays, people are coming back and saying 2-3 weeks, because we | :42:42. | :42:47. | |
have often moved to buy weekly connections. -- collections. It is | :42:48. | :42:51. | |
difficult for people. What we are finding is that perhaps one of the | :42:52. | :42:56. | |
common factors here is outsourcing, about 40% of the local authorities | :42:57. | :43:00. | |
do this now, outsourcing to contractors. And the monitoring | :43:01. | :43:04. | |
rates are not as good as they should be. And nor indeed are the complaint | :43:05. | :43:07. | |
handling arrangements. So when somebody phones of the council to | :43:08. | :43:10. | |
say they have had in this collection they are not talking about liaising | :43:11. | :43:13. | |
effectively with our contractors to make sure that somebody comes out | :43:14. | :43:17. | |
either later that day or the next day and collect the bins. That has | :43:18. | :43:20. | |
been picked up on, that when you make a complaint, what happens? How | :43:21. | :43:25. | |
can you uphold it? A complaint to us, a complaint to the council? To | :43:26. | :43:29. | |
the council, which is obviously then referred to you. But how can you | :43:30. | :43:33. | |
monitored is it so much is being outsourced? Yes. What we do not know | :43:34. | :43:37. | |
is we do not know how many complaints local authorities are | :43:38. | :43:40. | |
actually dealing with. We are not a regulator, we are an ombudsman. So | :43:41. | :43:44. | |
often, by the time people come to us, they have been through two or | :43:45. | :43:47. | |
three stages of the council's local complaints procedure. They may have | :43:48. | :43:50. | |
also gone through the complaints procedure available contract. And | :43:51. | :43:55. | |
they are incredible frustrated. What we are saying to local authorities | :43:56. | :43:59. | |
is that it is very much up to you, if you wish to outsource the | :44:00. | :44:02. | |
collection of bins, and there are 458 million bin collections per | :44:03. | :44:07. | |
year, 26 million tons of template -- of refuse and waste, it is a big | :44:08. | :44:11. | |
logistical task and we know the constraints on local authorities in | :44:12. | :44:14. | |
recent years, so they can do is this if it. What we are saying is, | :44:15. | :44:18. | |
outsource it, I do not put yourself out of touch and out of reach of the | :44:19. | :44:23. | |
people who rely on the services. The other thing I would stress is that | :44:24. | :44:26. | |
we are now asking people to sift waste, with their recycling and they | :44:27. | :44:30. | |
are collectable goods, and we are now asking people to pay for garden | :44:31. | :44:33. | |
collection. And quite rightly, guard -- quite rightly, expectations go up | :44:34. | :44:37. | |
when you begin to charge money and ask people to do more. How a council | :44:38. | :44:41. | |
is reacting when you are taking on the complaints or upholding these | :44:42. | :44:43. | |
complaints? They are obviously stretched as well, as you have | :44:44. | :44:47. | |
mentioned, and more costs are coming onto us. If you put this right first | :44:48. | :44:57. | |
time, and you have effective monitoring processes and good | :44:58. | :45:00. | |
liaison with your contractors and they've got very good systems and | :45:01. | :45:04. | |
software systems and they know where things go wrong and they have leased | :45:05. | :45:12. | |
the -- lists of people, they talk to each other and make sure monitoring | :45:13. | :45:16. | |
is effective, that saves us all a lot of time and money, in that you | :45:17. | :45:22. | |
don't have an ombudsman coming and asking about what has happened. | :45:23. | :45:26. | |
Contractors can get to the problem quickly and put things right for | :45:27. | :45:29. | |
people. Good to talk to you. Thank you for going through that | :45:30. | :45:34. | |
with us. In a statement, the chairman of the District Council's | :45:35. | :45:37. | |
network said waste collection is the most visible service operated a | :45:38. | :45:41. | |
local government and touches nearly 9 million households every week. | :45:42. | :45:49. | |
Thanks for your comments on this. In Birmingham, they have gone back to | :45:50. | :45:54. | |
work after a strike. Alan says they have slim bins forced on them by the | :45:55. | :45:58. | |
council for not Bruce says his service is excellent, and he has cut | :45:59. | :46:02. | |
his waist down to help the environment and clean the streets | :46:03. | :46:08. | |
for the council. Bruce says it works. | :46:09. | :46:17. | |
Good. Happy customer, that's what we like to hear. Of course you will | :46:18. | :46:22. | |
always be a happy customer with Carol. | :46:23. | :46:31. | |
Good morning. Good morning! Good morning, Naga and Ben... No, Dan! | :46:32. | :46:35. | |
This morning we have a fine start to the day across many parts of the | :46:36. | :46:40. | |
country, but not everywhere. We have rain moving across Scotland, coming | :46:41. | :46:45. | |
in across northern England. It is heavy, thundery and pushing | :46:46. | :46:48. | |
north-eastwards. Fresh conditions behind it and a few showers. This | :46:49. | :46:53. | |
morning we have the rain clearing north-eastwards and behind it we | :46:54. | :46:56. | |
have sunny is dolls coming in as well. There will still be showers, | :46:57. | :47:00. | |
despite the fact that we have some sunny spells. On the charts you can | :47:01. | :47:07. | |
see where the rain is at nine a.m.. Moving across northern England, | :47:08. | :47:09. | |
heading north-eastwards. It will brighten up behind it with sunshine | :47:10. | :47:16. | |
and a few showers. At the moment the cloud is around, but it will thin | :47:17. | :47:21. | |
and break. More of us will see sunshine through the day. This | :47:22. | :47:24. | |
afternoon in Scotland we have the rain in the far north-east and the | :47:25. | :47:28. | |
Northern Isles. To the west of that we have brighter skies and sunshine | :47:29. | :47:31. | |
coming through. Even so you could see showers. In the north-west it | :47:32. | :47:38. | |
will brighten up and there will be sunshine around. Coming south again | :47:39. | :47:43. | |
there is cloud extending through parts of Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, | :47:44. | :47:46. | |
Cambridgeshire, towards the south coast. That is a cold front. Ahead | :47:47. | :47:53. | |
of it still muggy in east Anglia, but largely dry. Behind it fresher | :47:54. | :48:00. | |
conditions coming. With that the cloud breaks up, we have sunshine | :48:01. | :48:03. | |
and a few showers. Showers likely in south-west England, Wales and | :48:04. | :48:09. | |
Northern Ireland, but not the deluge you had yesterday and overnight in | :48:10. | :48:12. | |
Northern Ireland. Through this evening and overnight the rain | :48:13. | :48:15. | |
becomes ensconced in the north-east of Scotland and the Northern Isles. | :48:16. | :48:20. | |
There will be a lot of dry weather around and clear skies as well. It | :48:21. | :48:24. | |
will be a fresher night than the one just gone. Tomorrow we have the rain | :48:25. | :48:32. | |
across the Northern Isles. At times it fringes into the far north of | :48:33. | :48:36. | |
mainland Scotland and then we are looking at bright spells, sunny | :48:37. | :48:40. | |
spells and a few showers. Again most of the showers in the west. It will | :48:41. | :48:45. | |
be breezy. Tomorrow's temperatures, while similar to today we have again | :48:46. | :48:49. | |
the high teens and the low 20s. By the time we get to Friday for most | :48:50. | :48:54. | |
of us it will be a dry day. Again, bright spells and sunny skies, but | :48:55. | :48:59. | |
showers coming in across Northern Ireland and Scotland and some of | :49:00. | :49:03. | |
those will merge so we have showers coming out of those. Temperatures up | :49:04. | :49:08. | |
to 24 Celsius in the south-east. Lower than that across most of the | :49:09. | :49:12. | |
rest of the UK. The weather is up and down the next few days and I | :49:13. | :49:17. | |
can't believe I forgot your name, Dan! I'm so sorry. | :49:18. | :49:27. | |
Not interested in talking to you, Carol. I thought I was your | :49:28. | :49:36. | |
favourite, and I -- you can't even remember my name. | :49:37. | :49:42. | |
Don't you worry, it's always lovely to spend the morning with you. | :49:43. | :49:44. | |
Business leaders are meeting in Leeds today to look at what can | :49:45. | :49:47. | |
be done to improve transport in the North. | :49:48. | :49:50. | |
Good morning. Remember the other day we were talking about the day of | :49:51. | :49:56. | |
national mourning for people who travel on other transport? This is | :49:57. | :50:00. | |
all about trying to make sure we don't have to have those days. | :50:01. | :50:04. | |
Good morning. It is the northern transport summit which is happening | :50:05. | :50:10. | |
today. The mayors from Liverpool and Manchester will be there. And of | :50:11. | :50:13. | |
course local business people as well. The aim is to look at how to | :50:14. | :50:17. | |
improve transport in the north. Mike Odling is head of rail | :50:18. | :50:25. | |
at construction consultancy Mace. This summit is looking at how things | :50:26. | :50:32. | |
could be improved. What are your thoughts? The transport system is a | :50:33. | :50:40. | |
Victorian system. It is very difficult because it winds around | :50:41. | :50:43. | |
everywhere, so we need to spend more money to improve that connectivity | :50:44. | :50:50. | |
between Liverpool, Manchester and Leeds and the north. Why is it such | :50:51. | :50:55. | |
a problem? How bad is it? The network era? -- here? They want to | :50:56. | :51:03. | |
try to better the connectivity through Manchester and Leeds and in | :51:04. | :51:08. | |
the Sheffield. That costs ?500 million just to tinker with bits and | :51:09. | :51:12. | |
pieces. So in order to improve the system you need to spend a lot of | :51:13. | :51:18. | |
money. Your organisation helps to consult on transport projects which | :51:19. | :51:23. | |
happen all over the UK. So how is it different to the projects we're | :51:24. | :51:27. | |
scene in the south? Traditionally, most of the complex schemes are all | :51:28. | :51:34. | |
down south, so the big spenders are down south. Up here they are | :51:35. | :51:38. | |
creating the economic growth from infrastructure. That's going to be | :51:39. | :51:43. | |
very important and the big schemes... We want them appear. We | :51:44. | :51:49. | |
want to stop building that north- Southlink. If you look at something | :51:50. | :51:54. | |
like Crossrail in London, is that what we need? The northern rail | :51:55. | :52:01. | |
scheme is Crossrail for the north, so that will connect all of the | :52:02. | :52:05. | |
industries across the north and will generate that economic growth. And | :52:06. | :52:11. | |
this is about prosperity, not about just improving transport. It's about | :52:12. | :52:15. | |
improving the economy and making it easier for people to do jobs. It's | :52:16. | :52:19. | |
not really about transport, it's about business improvement. We are | :52:20. | :52:25. | |
trying to secure the future for our kids and ourselves. So for our kids | :52:26. | :52:29. | |
to come to the north and grow business. That's what this will do. | :52:30. | :52:34. | |
Interesting. Thanks very much. That's it from me for now. | :52:35. | :52:36. | |
Thanks very much. In the early '90s, the British | :52:37. | :52:38. | |
electronic duo KLF churned out hit after hit including 3 AM Eternal | :52:39. | :52:41. | |
and Justified and Ancient. But then in 1994, they burnt | :52:42. | :52:44. | |
a million in cash and announced they were no more, promising | :52:45. | :52:47. | |
to return in 23 years. At the stroke of midnight last | :52:48. | :52:58. | |
night, the 23 years were up, and KLF reappeared at | :52:59. | :53:03. | |
a bookshop in Liverpool. This is quite a bizarre evening, I | :53:04. | :53:07. | |
think. Our entertainment correspondent | :53:08. | :53:10. | |
Colin Paterson was there. 23 seconds after midnight | :53:11. | :53:13. | |
on the 23rd of August, 23 years to the day that they burnt | :53:14. | :53:22. | |
?1 million, KLF returned, Fans had come from as far | :53:23. | :53:25. | |
as Australia and the US, This is the group of my | :53:26. | :53:35. | |
childhood and adolescence. They've shaped everything that I've | :53:36. | :53:44. | |
known about in music and art and here I am today, meeting them | :53:45. | :53:47. | |
for the first time. I can't put words to describe how | :53:48. | :53:50. | |
I'm feeling right now. We don't know what we're doing | :53:51. | :53:54. | |
or what's happening, but we're all here because it | :53:55. | :53:56. | |
means so much. First up, a book signing, | :53:57. | :53:59. | |
or rather stamping. And things were not perhaps not | :54:00. | :54:01. | |
quite as rock 'n' roll The KLF were so big they won | :54:02. | :54:08. | |
Best British Group at the '92 Brits and appauled the industry | :54:09. | :54:28. | |
by pretended to machine-gun the audience and then leaving a dead | :54:29. | :54:33. | |
sheep outside the after show party. And then, two years later, | :54:34. | :54:37. | |
burnt ?1 million on the Scottish We don't know what | :54:38. | :54:40. | |
it is, what we did. But I've never | :54:41. | :54:43. | |
felt it was wrong. They said they would return after 23 | :54:44. | :54:53. | |
years and fans finally got to meet them again, although | :54:54. | :54:58. | |
there were strict rules, including no idle conversation, | :54:59. | :55:02. | |
no hugging and no selfies. I'd been told there would be no | :55:03. | :55:12. | |
interviews and they wouldn't say And all the while, outside, | :55:13. | :55:15. | |
the ice cream van was being guarded by trusty Gimpo - | :55:16. | :55:32. | |
one of only two people who witnessed I'd gone to bed and they said, | :55:33. | :55:36. | |
come on, we're going to do it now They just had the suitcases, | :55:37. | :55:42. | |
got the money out, started ripping it apart and threw | :55:43. | :55:52. | |
the bits on the fire. 23 years ago today and it's | :55:53. | :55:55. | |
still being talked about. The KLF - no longer making music, | :55:56. | :55:57. | |
still making mischief. They know how to make an entrance. | :55:58. | :56:26. | |
No selfies, no chat. I imagine in that queue he was trying to get | :56:27. | :56:29. | |
something out of them. He didn't get much, but he did get a word. | :56:30. | :56:32. | |
Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. | :56:33. | :59:53. | |
Plenty more on our website at the usual address. | :59:54. | :59:56. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Naga Munchetty. | :59:57. | :00:02. | |
Taking back control of UK laws - the government outlines its latest | :00:03. | :00:05. | |
It's vowed to end the direct jurisdiction of the European Court | :00:06. | :00:09. | |
of Justice, but the issue is likely to cause a rift with the EU. | :00:10. | :00:28. | |
Good morning, it's Wednesday 23rd August. | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
The cell responsible for the Barcelona terror attack | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
tells a Spanish court that it was planning to use | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
explosives against key landmarks in the city. | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
Princes William and Harry have spoken about the days | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
following their mothers death - they say were determined | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
I didn't want her worried, or her legacy to be that, you know, William | :00:47. | :01:02. | |
or Harry were completely and athletes devastated by it, and that | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
all the hard work, and all the love and all the energy she put into us | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
when we were younger would go to waste. Wagg | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
Energy bills, insurance costs and council tax are all going up | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
all going up at a much faster rate than the average cost of living - | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
England women are one game away from retaining their rugby World Cup | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
title. They set up a final against New Zealand this weekend. | :01:28. | :01:28. | |
Braving the mountain elements - we'll hear the stories | :01:29. | :01:30. | |

Good morning from the roof of Broadcasting House in London, where | :01:33. | :01:45. | |
the sun is beating down, it is pleasantly warm, and that will be | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
the forecast for many parts of UK today, sunshine and showers. | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
However, we also have a band of thundery rain moving Scotland and | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
northern England, which will clear north-east England later but will | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
hang around the North of Scotland. More details in 15 minutes. | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
The government will today outline how it intends to take back control | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
It's vowed to end the direct jurisdiction of the European Court | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
of Justice saying it's "neither necessary or appropriate." | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
The issue is one of the most contentious in negotiations | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
Theresa May said it was a red line for the government. | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
Speaking earlier on Breakfast, Justice Minister Dominic Raab told | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
us the UK still wants a good relationship with Europe. | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
We're leaving the EU, we're taking back control of our laws and that | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
will mean ending the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice. But | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
we'll is a wonderful J positive new partnership with our European | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
friends, and the way you preserve any friendship is to have a sensible | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
mechanism for managing disputes. Adam Fleming is outside | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
the European Court of What was very clear when we spoke | :02:47. | :02:55. | |
Dominic Raab is that this is a compensated and potentially very -- | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
compensated and potentially very lengthy process. You are right it is | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
very complicated but worth keeping an eye on because it is absolutely | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
crucial to the Brexit negotiations. What the government will do today is | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
publish a document which will set out some examples from around the | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
world of how countries and groups of countries solve disputes that arise | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
between them. None of which involve the European Court of Justice. And | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
that is the UK continuing to make its case that the ECJ, this gold | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
coloured building behind me, will not have a role in the UK after | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
Brexit. What people will be looking for is clues for just how | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
influential the organisation will be, though, in reality, because the | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
Prime Minister always used to say that she would end the jurisdiction | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
of the ECJ in the UK. What ministers are now saying is that they will end | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
the direct jurisdiction of the ECJ. Spot the difference? People will be | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
going through this document with a fine toothed comb procedures to much | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
influence this court could have on British life after Brexit. The other | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
thing the justice minister said is that of course the UK will be | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
keeping in his words half an eye on what the ECJ does in future. What | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
does that actually mean, in legal, political and practical terms? We | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
also know that they'd EU side of the equation wants a role for the ECJ, | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
especially when it comes to the issue of citizens rights. They think | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
that judges here in Luxembourg should be the ones that keep an eye | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
on the rights of EU citizens living in the UK after Brexit. Lots of | :04:29. | :04:38. | |
questions, Adam, thank you. President Trump has blamed the media | :04:39. | :04:46. | |
for giving far right activists a platform. | :04:47. | :04:55. | |
At a campaign rally in Arizona last night the President accused | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
journalists of misrepresenting his position on the aftermath of violent | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
Outside the rally, police had to use tear gas to disperse crowds of both | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
Our North America correspondent James Cook sent this report. | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
The gas and trouble on the streets of Phoenix. Riot police cleared | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
protesters from the streets after a presidential rally. Inside, it had | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
been an animated Donald Trump who had rallied his supporters by | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
denouncing the news media. Mr Trump quoted himself at length, aiming to | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
demonstrate he had wholeheartedly condemned the actions of neo-Nazis | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
in the city of Charlottesville when a counter protester was killed, but | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
in repeating his response the president admitted his most | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
controversial response that there was hatred, bigotry and violence on | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
many sites. They don't report the facts, just like they don't want to | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
report that I spoke out forcefully against hatred, bigotry and | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
violence, and strongly condemned the neo-Nazis, the white supremacists | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
and the KKK. President Trump took his war with the media to a new | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
level tonight, attacking journalists again and again. He clearly regards | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
the best way to defend against criticism of his presidency is a | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
full throated attack on the messenger. Outside, the trouble | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
didn't last long, as demonstrators quickly dispersed. The controversy | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
surrounding the president is unlikely to be so short lived. | :06:19. | :06:27. | |
Princes William and Harry have been recalling the week of their mother's | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
death and her funeral in a new BBC documentary. | :06:31. | :06:32. | |
Both said they were bewildered by the grieving crowds on the day, | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
adding that walking behind her coffin had been a "family decision". | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
Prince Harry says it's hard to get over the feeing of anger | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
I think one of the hardest things to come to terms with is the fact that | :06:41. | :06:51. | |
the people that chased her through, into the tunnel, were the same | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
people that were taking photographs of her while she was still dying on | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
the back-seat of car. And William and I know that, we've been told | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
that numerous times by people that know that was the case. | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
Two men suspected of being behind last week's terror attacks | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
in and around Barcelona have been detained on terror charges - | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
Another man has been released on bail, while a fourth | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
Earlier, the court in Madrid heard the group had intended to blow up | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
Identity theft is reaching "epidemic levels", with almost 500 cases a day | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
according to a leading fraud prevention organisation. | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
CIFAS says there were nearly 90,000 cases in the first six | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
months of this year - a 5% rise. | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
ID fraudsters steal personal information before using it to apply | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
The latest figures show the number of complaints about bin collections | :07:38. | :07:52. | |
that were upheld by the ombudsman rose sharply this year to 80%. | :07:53. | :08:00. | |
The Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman has warned | :08:01. | :08:02. | |
that the outsourcing of bin collections to private companies | :08:03. | :08:04. | |
In Birmingham, the backlog caused by the recent bin strikes | :08:05. | :08:34. | |
A stark example of how quickly rubbish piles up when the system | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
For many of us, waste collection is the most obvious | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
service local authorities supply, and complaints, although a fraction | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
of the hundreds of millions of collections that take place, | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
The local government ombudsman receives around 500 | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
enquiries and complaints about waste collection every year. | :08:50. | :08:51. | |
Two years ago they upheld in 59% of cases. | :08:52. | :08:53. | |
But last year that figure had risen as high as 81%. | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
The ombudsman can be contacted when somebody is dissatisfied | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
at how their complaint is being handled. | :08:59. | :08:59. | |
Problems began when councils fail to listen to complaints about missed | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
collections and other problems with bins. | :09:03. | :09:03. | |
We have seen cases where other people | :09:04. | :09:05. | |
have waited three months for people to have their bins collected. | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
In one case, and man waited ten months to | :09:11. | :09:12. | |
have his bin taken back to the right place. | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
The body that represents councils, the local government | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
Association, says that around 80% of residents are happy | :09:18. | :09:19. | |
But it argues ?2.2 billion worth of cuts by the government to local | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
It can be a dirty job, but somebody has | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
And that someone is your local council. | :09:27. | :09:34. | |
A list of the top 100 comedy films of all time has been | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
released by BBC culture, who has polled more than 250 film | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
I don't think these lists should be released because they are so | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
controversial. That's the whole point, we then talk about our | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
favourites. BBC Culture released this list. | :09:50. | :09:58. | |
The 1959 classic 'Some like It Hot' came out on top, | :09:59. | :10:08. | |
followed by 'Dr Strangelove.' The top 20 films are all | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
English-language with the exception of French film 'Playtime', | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
but despite similarities in the top choices, there were clear | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
differences in what people of different nationalities | :10:18. | :10:18. | |
We should be drilling down into that, not that it will be a | :10:19. | :10:29. | |
favourite subject today! I like the subject, but if I wanted to know | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
what the funniest film was, I would want regular people to do it, not | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
250 highbrow film critics. What is your funniest film? One of them | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
would be Trading Places. That got to number 74 on the list. You are just | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
not happy it is not your list! If it is not my way, it is not good | :10:51. | :10:58. | |
enough! Dumb and Dummett is getting a lot of attention as well. | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
It's only a couple of weeks until the new school term begins | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
but thousands of parents are still struggling to register | :11:06. | :11:07. | |
for the free childcare they're entitled to from September first. | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
HM Revenue and Customs, which runs the website where parents | :11:12. | :11:13. | |
can claim their free childcare hours, has admitted technical issues | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
Let's take a look at what's causing the delay. | :11:17. | :11:24. | |
The promise of 30 hours a week of free childcare for three to | :11:25. | :11:31. | |
four-year-olds was a key part of the government's election manifesto. | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
From 1st of September, all working parents who earn less than ?100,000 | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
and work more than 16 hours a week will qualify, and in tandem with | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
this is a tax-free childcare scheme, which gives eligible families up to | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
?2000 free per child towards childcare costs. At problems with | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
the online system have led the frustrated parents struggling to | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
register in time, raising fears they may lose their nursery place. The | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
true surely select committee raised concerns and demanded answers -- | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
Treasury Select Committee. It has admitted 2006000 parents This report | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
contains flash photography. 206,000 parents are waiting. | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
The HMRC has apologised but the Treasury Select Committee says | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
further improvements are needed. Joining us now is Purnima Tan-uku, | :12:22. | :12:23. | |
from the National Day Nurseries Association, | :12:24. | :12:25. | |
and Helen Daykin, who had problems getting her 30 hours | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
free childcare code. Talk us through your issues, what | :12:29. | :12:38. | |
were the problems with the system, why wasn't it working efficiently | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
for you? I could log on to the website, which I know a lot of | :12:44. | :12:45. | |
people have had trouble with. They then sent me a message on my portal | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
saying I would get another message within seven days. That was early | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
July. At the end of July I got a letter in the post saying we haven't | :12:56. | :12:57. | |
got enough information on you, please ring this phone number, and | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
that is where the problem started. The number was constantly engaged or | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
I was on hold. They had to put eligibility team, but the | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
eligibility to would only put me on hold for two minutes before cutting | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
me off, then they promised me a priority call back 24 hours. Never | :13:14. | :13:21. | |
got one? Never got one, then I was told that didn't exist. I was told | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
it would all be sorted by September but that wasn't giving me my code. | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
Then I got a letter on the 2nd of August saying, we have no | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
information on new and therefore you are not eligible for the 30 hours. | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
OK, so today on 23rd of August, what is the situation? I sorted it out | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
last Monday, eight o'clock in the morning, I hit the fenland shred | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
away and manage to get through. Halfway through that call, I was cut | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
off. So even though I got through to a real person for the first time in | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
a month I was cut off. Then nine o'clock that morning I got through | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
and got the code, and they said it is all OK, here is your code. And | :13:57. | :14:03. | |
you spent days. I would say a whole day. The reason you need this code | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
is presumably to get it through to a nursery which is already registered | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
with a code, so the two systems Mariappa? Yes, this particular | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
childcare service combines two elements of funding, one is the | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
tax-free credits the other is the funding for 30 hours. It is not just | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
an issue for parents, because nurseries are equally struggling, | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
because they struggle to register, some of them, and even now, even | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
after registering, of course the parents struggle, that means the | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
payments will be delayed and no body is talking about any compensation | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
for nurseries. Helen was lucky enough to be compensated for her | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
time. But equally nurseries are spending an awful lot of time trying | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
to resolve these issues at a time when they are actually being paid ?4 | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
an our for the service. From a parent 's point of view, they could | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
be certain people who feel they will not get that funding, which they | :14:59. | :15:05. | |
need in order to live a normal life. Absolutely, and the cash flow for a | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
small business is crucial. It is bad enough now some local authorities | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
don't pay nurseries for two months. Now, with the 30 hours, if they | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
don't get paid, already the majority of nursery saying we're not sure | :15:19. | :15:20. | |
whether we can do this or not, because the funding is not adequate. | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
Are they allowed to do this? Yes, they have a choice, if they don't | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
want to do it they don't have to do it. | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
There are also reports nurseries are asking parents to provide nappies, | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
to give donations to the nursery. Even though you are told you are | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
getting free childcare, it is not free? It is not free, absolutely. We | :15:43. | :15:50. | |
have to pay for lunches, which is standard. My nursery has been great. | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
They have held the place. I could have easily taken in other children. | :15:56. | :16:02. | |
I could have lost my place. My nursery have been brilliant. The | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
system has held you up. If people are in the same situation that Helen | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
has been in, what would your advice be? I think the advice is really | :16:13. | :16:22. | |
communication. There needs to be communication with the parents. What | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
Helen has been saying is not only can you not get on the website, but | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
there isn't enough information on how to register. Nurseries should | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
help parents to do that. The most important thing is not just of the | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
compensation, the whole service includes other things. To make the | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
30 hours work, the systems need to come together and work to support | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
parents, but equally make sure that nurseries are sustainable. | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
Otherwise the policy will not work. Thanking you both. We have had a | :16:56. | :17:02. | |
statement from the Department of education. They told us more than | :17:03. | :17:09. | |
200,000 parents have successfully applied for a childcare account. | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
There are aware of concerns and have made significant improvements based | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
on customer feedback. On average more than 2000 parents are applying | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
successfully every day. When was the deadline? | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
The 1st of September. I think we should revisit this then to see how | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
many parents are satisfied or not. If you are in the same situation as | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
Helen, lead us back now. Thank you very much. | :17:36. | :17:38. | |
There is some sunshine around. The morning. Good morning. The sun is | :17:39. | :17:47. | |
beating down in London. Temperatures hovering between 18 and 19 Celsius. | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
It is already 20 and part of Essex and Sussex. Although the sun is | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
shining here, it is not shining everywhere. Torrential rain across | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
Northern Ireland and Scotland. Through the course of today, that | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
band of rain will continue to do journey North East across the rest | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
of Scotland and northern England. Behind it, fresher conditions and a | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
return to some sunshine. Also some showers. This morning we can see | :18:14. | :18:21. | |
where we have the rain. It is moving across central Scotland, heading | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
towards the north-east, in across northern England, also pushing is. | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
The head of that, a line of cloud across eastern England. Ahead of | :18:30. | :18:36. | |
that it is quite muggy. This afternoon across Scotland we have | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
the rain continuing across the north-east. Behind it, sunshine and | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
showers. Moving south into Northern England. Brightening up with some | :18:45. | :18:51. | |
sunshine after the rain. The rain already in north-east England, | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
drifting into the North Sea. South of that through the Midlands, into | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
East Anglia, Essex, Kent, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, some cloud. We | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
will see some of that code break and some sunshine coming through. East | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
Anglia could have temperatures of 24, 20 five. On the other side that | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
cloud, across England and Wales, 23 to 24. The south-west of England and | :19:16. | :19:22. | |
Wales, we could catch some showers in the afternoon. For Northern | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
Ireland, after the deluge of rain, today is going to be a fairly bright | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
day. Sunshine and showers by the afternoon. Through the evening and | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
overnight, the rain in Scotland continues to move north-east. Again | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
becoming lodged in the far north-east of the northern islands. | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
Showers in the western part of the UK. But a lot of dry weather. Clear | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
skies. Tonight will feel fresher than the night just gone. | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
Temperatures into the low teens. This -- tomorrow, the rain will be | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
ensconced across the Northern Isles. Many having a dry day. As ever, | :20:00. | :20:06. | |
those showers are more likely to be in the West. Wherever you are | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
tomorrow, it will feel fresher. Maximum temperatures 23 Celsius. As | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
we head into Friday, again a largely dry day. Some bright spells, some | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
sunshine, some showers across Northern Ireland and Scotland. Some | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
of those will merge. There will be heavier showers at times. Top | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
temperature in the south-eastern about a 24 Celsius. Generally again, | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
high teens to the low 20s. So after today, it is not going to be quite | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
as topsy-turvy as it will be today. So it is sort of good news. And our | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
misery correspondent is Steph McGovern. Content, you are talking | :20:49. | :20:55. | |
builds on the rise? Yes, as opposed to just being | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
generally miserable. Some research as come out today by money-saving | :21:00. | :21:07. | |
expert. How much household bills are going up by. The things that we are | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
paying out for every day. They found an average household bills are going | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
up by 2%. That doesn't sound like very much but if you look at the | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
individual things they are paying for, you can guess. One is energy | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
bills. Energy bills have gone up by 5.1% in the last year. Council tax | :21:25. | :21:31. | |
has gone up 4%. And insurance costs as well. That has gone up by a | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
whopping 8%. Interestingly, if you look at why they have gone up, with | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
energy, after the providers will say it is because of the wholesale | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
costs, how much they are buying gas and electricity for. With insurance, | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
it is about the premium tax you have to pay. And also, because you still | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
get a lot of people claiming for things like whiplash, which is | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
increasing costs. As the other end of the scale, what has not gone up | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
as much, there are very few things that have gone down, the things not | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
going up as much are things like your rent, your mortgages. And phone | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
bills have fallen a percent over the last year. A lot of that is to do | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
with competition. We are a lot more savvy when it comes to switching | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
phone providers. When you upgrade and you get a new handset, you find | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
it easier to switch providers etc. We are not so good at switching | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
energy providers. They have to be more competitive in the phone | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
industry. That is why it is better in terms of price is not going up. | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
Mortgages, there is a lot of competition out there. One of the | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
things that has come from all of this is the fact that we, as | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
consumers, should be keeping them on their toes and making sure that we | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
do try and switch. Even though that for a lot of people that sounds like | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
a drama. It shouldn't be but it can be. Once you have had that | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
experience, you don't want to do it again. But you should. | :23:06. | :23:15. | |
Thank you very much. He is being dead nice. He has called me | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
miserable! He's saying you're depressed. If I was negotiating a | :23:19. | :23:25. | |
deal, I would bring in Naga Munchetty. Yeah, she is hard. I | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
don't dispute any of it. Princes William and Harry have been | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
talking about the week of their mother's death | :23:32. | :23:33. | |
and her funeral, in a In the programme, to | :23:34. | :23:35. | |
be shown this Sunday, they describe feeling bewildered | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
by the grieving crowds in London who, they say, | :23:41. | :23:42. | |
sobbed and wailed and wanted Both say it was a collective, | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
family decision to walk behind their mother's coffin | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
on the day of the funeral, Our Royal Correspondent, | :23:50. | :23:51. | |
Nicholas Witchell, reports. It was the week when a nation | :23:52. | :23:58. | |
mourned, and the monarchy At its heart were two boys, | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
William and Harry, then aged 15 and 12, grieving for the loss | :24:02. | :24:08. | |
of their mother, but required by their royal position to appear | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
in public and help assuage In the BBC documentary, | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
William and Harry speak of the numbness and confusion | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
they felt when they were told And in Harry's case it is clear | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
there is still anger at the French photographers who were pursuing | :24:25. | :24:32. | |
Diana's speeding car in the moments before the crash in | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
the Alma Tunnel, in Paris. I think one of the hardest things | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
to come to terms with is the fact that the people who chased her | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
into the tunnel were the same people who were taking photographs | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
of her while she was dying We have been told that from people | :24:49. | :24:50. | |
that know that it was the case. She had quite a severe head injury, | :24:51. | :25:00. | |
but she was still very much alive Those people who caused | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
the accident, instead of helping, were taking photographs | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
of her dying on the back seat. And then those photographs | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
made their way back to news desks. William and Harry were in Balmoral | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
when they heard the news in Paris. They speak in support | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
of their grandmother for her efforts "He tried to do his best | :25:22. | :25:24. | |
for us", says Harry. When they moved from | :25:25. | :25:35. | |
Balmoral to London, And it's clear that they found | :25:36. | :25:37. | |
the experience bewildering, with so many people sobbing | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
and wanting to touch them. Of the decision to walk | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
behind their mother's coffin, both say it was a collective family | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
decision and both say they felt When you have something so traumatic | :25:53. | :25:55. | |
as the death of your mother when you are 15, as, very sadly, | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
many people have experienced, and no one wants to experience, | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
it leaves you, you know, it will make or break you, | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
and I wouldn't let it break me. I wanted her to be proud | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
of the person I would become. I didn't want her worried, | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
or her legacy to be that William or Harry were completely | :26:21. | :26:23. | |
and utterly devastated by it. And all of her hard work, | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
love and energy she put into us when we were younger | :26:30. | :26:32. | |
would go to waste. They were children coping | :26:33. | :26:35. | |
with their own grief and the attention of a grieving | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
nation, and who kept going to honour their | :26:39. | :26:41. | |
mother's memory. The documentary where you can see | :26:42. | :26:52. | |
the full interview is going to be on BBC One this Sunday at 7:30pm. | :26:53. | :26:59. | |
You're watching Breakfast. Still to come this morning... | :27:00. | :27:01. | |
We saw the England over-75s hockey team celebrating a fantastic win | :27:02. | :27:03. | |
on yesterday's programme - now we have some even better news. | :27:04. | :27:06. | |
Good morning. Good morning. I would not recommend playing hockey with | :27:07. | :27:18. | |
one hand. That is not how you are supposed to do it. Later I will be | :27:19. | :27:25. | |
joined by the overly -- over 75s European champions, England. They | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
are some team. We have been training this morning in Glasgow ahead of the | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
European Championships this weekend, which England are again one of the | :27:34. | :27:36. | |
favourites in. We will be getting some tips about how to keep active, | :27:37. | :27:42. | |
had to keep playing hockey until over 75 and finding more out about | :27:43. | :27:47. | |
the sport. What drives them to keep training and meeting, and what makes | :27:48. | :27:50. | |
them European champions. We will speak to them later. I will get more | :27:51. | :27:56. | |
tips on my hockey. Until then, let's get the news where you are. | :27:57. | :27:58. | |
deal of dry weather round over the next few days. | :27:59. | :31:17. | |
I'm back with the latest from the BBC London | :31:18. | :31:19. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast with Dan Walker Naga Munchetty. | :31:20. | :31:29. | |
It has just gone 830. Today's stories: Justice Minister says he | :31:30. | :31:39. | |
wants to see a mechanism for settling future disputes with the | :31:40. | :31:40. | |
EU. This comes as the government | :31:41. | :31:46. | |
will say today it is appropriate" for the European Court | :31:47. | :31:48. | |
of Justice to have any direct jurisdiction over | :31:49. | :31:52. | |
the UK after Brexit. We are leaving the EU. We are taking | :31:53. | :31:56. | |
back control of our laws. That will mean the end of jurisdiction in the | :31:57. | :32:00. | |
European Court of Justice. But we want a positive future with our | :32:01. | :32:04. | |
friends. The way to do that is to have a sensible mechanism for | :32:05. | :32:09. | |
managing disputes. President Trump explained the media for giving far | :32:10. | :32:14. | |
right groups or platform. There was accompanied in Arizona last night. | :32:15. | :32:21. | |
The president accused journalists of misrepresenting his position after | :32:22. | :32:24. | |
the riots in Charlottesville. Police had to use tear gas to disperse | :32:25. | :32:31. | |
crowds of anti-Trump protesters. Two and suspected to be behind last | :32:32. | :32:35. | |
week's terror attacks in Barcelona have been detained. | :32:36. | :32:40. | |
-- Two men suspected of being behind last week's terror attacks | :32:41. | :32:43. | |
in and around Barcelona have been detained on terror charges - | :32:44. | :32:45. | |
Another man has been released on bail, | :32:46. | :32:48. | |
Earlier, the court in Madrid heard the group had intended to blow up | :32:49. | :32:53. | |
Princes William and Harry have been recalling the aftermath of their | :32:54. | :32:58. | |
mother's death. They said walking behind her coffin had been a family | :32:59. | :33:02. | |
decision. Prince Harry says it is difficult to get over the feeling of | :33:03. | :33:07. | |
anger towards the paparazzi. One of the hardest things to come to terms | :33:08. | :33:14. | |
with is the fact that the people who chased her into the tunnel were the | :33:15. | :33:18. | |
same people taking photographs of her while she was still dying on the | :33:19. | :33:24. | |
back-seat of car. William and I have been told that. We've been told that | :33:25. | :33:28. | |
numerous times by people who knew the case. Hospital in Shropshire has | :33:29. | :33:32. | |
turned down a charity donation because it was raised by men dressed | :33:33. | :33:36. | |
as female nurses. The hit of the NHS Trust which runs the Ludlow | :33:37. | :33:40. | |
Community Hospital said the behaviour was insulting and | :33:41. | :33:44. | |
demeaning the staff. -- the head. The money was used to buy some new | :33:45. | :33:46. | |
x-ray equipment. There are millions of pounds spent | :33:47. | :33:56. | |
on footballers every year. James Montague has been little given to | :33:57. | :33:59. | |
the billionaires, the people behind the club's financing football. | :34:00. | :34:05. | |
George Butler will be here to talk about sketching on the front line in | :34:06. | :34:10. | |
Mosul. A BBC documentary team reveals the | :34:11. | :34:13. | |
extraordinary animals and remarkable people who call mountain ranges | :34:14. | :34:16. | |
their home. Sally is here to talk about the | :34:17. | :34:25. | |
latest sport and success on the rugby pitch. | :34:26. | :34:31. | |
It was a brutal match for England's women over in Ireland. But they were | :34:32. | :34:35. | |
ready for it. England are one wind away from retaining their World Cup | :34:36. | :34:41. | |
title. They beat France last night in a hard-fought semifinal. -- one | :34:42. | :34:46. | |
win. Sarah Byrne went over for the try of the night. Megan Jones put | :34:47. | :34:52. | |
England in the their fifth consecutive cup final and a repeat | :34:53. | :34:55. | |
of the showpiece from seven years ago. Our job was to get here. We set | :34:56. | :35:03. | |
out to get away World Cup final. We've done that. We will enjoy the | :35:04. | :35:07. | |
performance tonight. We said we have to enjoy the little wins. Tonight | :35:08. | :35:14. | |
we've done that. Tomorrow it will be back to square one. Recover, review, | :35:15. | :35:18. | |
and move on for that massive game on Sunday. | :35:19. | :35:19. | |
Well New Zealand will be looking to win the tournament for the 5th | :35:20. | :35:23. | |

The world's number one ranked team looked in great form, | :35:33. | :35:36. | |
Celtic are through to the group stages of the Champions League, | :35:37. | :35:40. | |
The Scottish champions led five-nil after the first leg | :35:41. | :35:43. | |
against Astana, and this brilliant Scott Sinclair goal meant the home | :35:44. | :35:46. | |
They were pushed all the way, with Astana taking a 4-1 lead. | :35:47. | :35:50. | |
But late goals, including this from Leigh Griffiths | :35:51. | :35:52. | |
Chris Froome will have a second day in the leader's red jersey | :35:53. | :36:03. | |
The four-time Tour de France champion is trying to become | :36:04. | :36:07. | |
the third man to win the Grand Tours of France and Spain | :36:08. | :36:10. | |
He preserved his two-second lead on Stage Four, finishing | :36:11. | :36:13. | |
Although only 11 seconds separate the top six, | :36:14. | :36:16. | |
England are through to the semi-finals of the Women's Euro | :36:17. | :36:23. | |

Yesterday we saw the over 75 England soccer team seven -- celebrate a | :36:36. | :36:51. | |
fantastic win the grand Masters European cup. | :36:52. | :36:54. | |
Today we have some even better news - the team's beaten | :36:55. | :36:57. | |
the Netherlands 3-0 in the final, and now they're European champions. | :36:58. | :37:00. | |
Good morning. We were glued to our screens | :37:01. | :37:09. | |
yesterday cheering them on. If you are not aware of this team, they | :37:10. | :37:15. | |
have been established since 1988. They are called the grand Masters. | :37:16. | :37:19. | |
Only a few teams across the world. They play from over 60s the various | :37:20. | :37:23. | |
age groups up to over 75 's. They are very good. I play myself. We try | :37:24. | :37:30. | |
to blame our advancing years sometimes on reasons for slowing | :37:31. | :37:33. | |
down, the reasons of not being as quick as be used to be. But age is | :37:34. | :37:39. | |
no barrier. Gordon, I am passing over to you. Great stuff stop that | :37:40. | :37:46. | |
talk to some of the guys who were involved at the weekend. -- great | :37:47. | :37:50. | |
stuff, let's talk to some of the guys. You were playing at the | :37:51. | :37:54. | |
weekend. What is it like playing in this age group? It keeps you active, | :37:55. | :38:01. | |
doesn't it? I first started playing in 1957. I have been playing for 60 | :38:02. | :38:05. | |
years. It's a wonderful feeling at our age to play hockey. Very | :38:06. | :38:10. | |
healthy. Our medical people love us. Great camaraderie. Great company. We | :38:11. | :38:16. | |
want as much media support for our game and coverage as possible. It's | :38:17. | :38:24. | |
also family orientated. You have mums, dads, children playing, and | :38:25. | :38:28. | |
their grandads playing. It's a wonderful feeling. Very much a | :38:29. | :38:33. | |
family orientated sport. I will speak to Ken now. Kevin, you are the | :38:34. | :38:39. | |
captain. You scored yesterday. What is it like for your family to be | :38:40. | :38:43. | |
able to come along and watch? Usually it is dads and grandparents | :38:44. | :38:46. | |
watching their kids play, this is the other way around. I like to | :38:47. | :38:51. | |
think they are very interested in my progress on the pitch. As Andy said, | :38:52. | :38:59. | |
it is a very inclusive sport. Particularly at our age. We go away | :39:00. | :39:02. | |
on lots of trips and lots of hockey matches. Wives and partners are part | :39:03. | :39:12. | |
and parcel of the whole arrangement. It's very sociable. How many years | :39:13. | :39:18. | |
have you been playing hockey, and why did you choose hockey as a | :39:19. | :39:23. | |
sport? I left school, I was 18, I didn't know what to do. My brother | :39:24. | :39:28. | |
played hockey just south of Manchester. He told me to come down | :39:29. | :39:32. | |
to the hockey club. I went down that Saturday. And I think I've played | :39:33. | :39:36. | |
most Saturdays since. It's been wonderful for me. It's a wonderful | :39:37. | :39:41. | |
sport. Tony, you also scored yesterday. There is a bit of a | :39:42. | :39:47. | |
family resemblance isn't there? But we don't know him from hockey, do | :39:48. | :39:53. | |
we? For anybody who didn't realise, Tony is Tim Henman's dad. Dust to | :39:54. | :40:00. | |
come along to watch you? -- does Tim come along. He does a bit now. He | :40:01. | :40:09. | |
plays one game a year. He really enjoys it. He's been brought up | :40:10. | :40:15. | |
playing hockey at school. I started at the age of seven. I've been | :40:16. | :40:19. | |
playing for 70 years. It's wonderful you can go on playing and competing. | :40:20. | :40:26. | |
And it can set about the camaraderie. Husbands, wives, | :40:27. | :40:32. | |
partners, it's a great family sport. Are people surprised? Because it is | :40:33. | :40:37. | |
a fast paced sport. We like to think we are fast, but we are not. It is | :40:38. | :40:41. | |
the enjoyment factor which is so important. Participation is | :40:42. | :40:45. | |
everything. I think we are all competitive. I think that counts a | :40:46. | :40:49. | |
lot for me. I get grumpy when we lose. I get a great enjoyment when | :40:50. | :40:55. | |
we win. Brilliant. It has been a pleasure to watch you gentlemen. I | :40:56. | :41:01. | |
will let you get back to training. I know you have another competition | :41:02. | :41:04. | |
you will be preparing to get involved in. Essentially they have | :41:05. | :41:10. | |
early starts. There is a lot of training involved in this. I think a | :41:11. | :41:17. | |
goal was scored at 9:30am at the weekend, you would not see Wayne | :41:18. | :41:21. | |
Rooney doing that. I don't know! Wayne Rooney works | :41:22. | :41:26. | |
hard sometimes. Thanks, Holly. Brilliant to see all of them so | :41:27. | :41:30. | |
successful and still playing. And enjoying it, as well. | :41:31. | :41:36. | |
And competitive. I like Tony Henman admitted he gets grumpy when he | :41:37. | :41:40. | |
loses. Do you stay competitive or be | :41:41. | :41:43. | |
competitive? You just stay involved. | :41:44. | :41:44. | |
Just do your best. Some of the sums in today's football | :41:45. | :41:46. | |
are eye-watering to say the least. The latest big money transfer | :41:47. | :41:49. | |
was Neymar's move to PSG But what do we know about the money | :41:50. | :41:52. | |
raised for that transfer? Our next guest has been | :41:53. | :42:00. | |
investigating just that. James Montague has been | :42:01. | :42:02. | |
looking into the ownership of Europe's top clubs | :42:03. | :42:04. | |
and where their money comes from. So how many top English teams | :42:05. | :42:07. | |
are owned by billionaires? Manchester United is top | :42:08. | :42:16. | |
of the Premier League table and it's owned by US tycoons, | :42:17. | :42:19. | |
the Glazer family and Roman Abramovic has | :42:20. | :42:30. | |
held the purse strings Manchester City's spending | :42:31. | :42:32. | |
power is financed by Sheikh Mansour bin | :42:33. | :42:34. | |
Zayed Al Nahyan American business and sports | :42:35. | :42:38. | |
tycoon Stanley Kroenke Fenway Sports Group | :42:39. | :42:40. | |
is the American business company What's clear, James, is... I am | :42:41. | :42:53. | |
turned off by football because of the money. I don't truly understand | :42:54. | :42:57. | |
how it all feeds through. This is the man to explain it all. | :42:58. | :43:03. | |
While nothing figures like ?188 million, these huge, ridiculous | :43:04. | :43:07. | |
amounts. Very little that has anything to do | :43:08. | :43:13. | |
with football. -- like ?198 million for. Roman Abramovich changed | :43:14. | :43:19. | |
things. Before then you had local businessmen, millionaires, | :43:20. | :43:24. | |
philanthropic Lee investing, some good some bad. In 2003 you hate this | :43:25. | :43:31. | |
billionaire from nowhere turning up. Spending without having to make a | :43:32. | :43:35. | |
profit he did not have to worry about it because he had so much | :43:36. | :43:38. | |
money. He had ?8 billion in the bank. This has revolutionised the | :43:39. | :43:43. | |
game. It has turned it into an arms race. Other clubs and other fans | :43:44. | :43:48. | |
demand they find a billionaire for themselves. So suddenly you had | :43:49. | :43:52. | |
American billionaires investing in football. That went very bad, | :43:53. | :43:57. | |
particularly at Liverpool. Then you had Sheikh Mansoor who is the | :43:58. | :44:06. | |
world's first trillion buying a club. -- the world's first | :44:07. | :44:18. | |
trillionaire. The reasons behind it or varied. Same with PSG and Qatar. | :44:19. | :44:26. | |
This is state money effectively being fuelled into football. It is | :44:27. | :44:30. | |
very little to do with football at this stage. It is about soft power. | :44:31. | :44:35. | |
Projecting an image of yourself. Status and ego. Eager used to be. | :44:36. | :44:54. | |
The man who sold it to Sheikh Mansoor is now living in exile. It | :44:55. | :44:59. | |
was for his ego. That seems simplistic, whereas now it is a | :45:00. | :45:03. | |
murky world of politics where you have somebody like Qatar sports | :45:04. | :45:08. | |
investment, which is effectively cut off state owning PSG, as a way of | :45:09. | :45:17. | |
reputation. -- Qatar state owning PSG. Ego is understandable because | :45:18. | :45:19. | |
it is explainable. It turns people off when you see | :45:20. | :45:27. | |
these wealthy individuals taking over and the fans paying their money | :45:28. | :45:34. | |
and the tickets are expensive. When will that become a problem, with | :45:35. | :45:38. | |
with the owners being so far removed from the people who watch? This is | :45:39. | :45:44. | |
going to happen in the future. Now, fans, in the past fans had been in | :45:45. | :45:52. | |
the majority, when it xops to revenue, fans were important. Now it | :45:53. | :45:59. | |
is commercial and TV deals and fans, the bottom line is so not really | :46:00. | :46:05. | |
related to fans' expenditure that we could see clubs I think if you look | :46:06. | :46:12. | |
at the American model, the American owners made their money in NFL, I | :46:13. | :46:17. | |
think promotion and relegation is under threat. We talked of the | :46:18. | :46:24. | |
European super league. There is so much to look into this. | :46:25. | :46:28. | |
James' book is called "The Billionaire's Club". | :46:29. | :46:32. | |
If you want to look into this murky world. Football is covered by | :46:33. | :46:40. | |
millions of people, and yet there are a lot of things at the top level | :46:41. | :46:45. | |
and the wait has changed that has completely changed in the last 15 to | :46:46. | :46:50. | |
20 years. We could talk about it for a while. But we can't. Thank you, | :46:51. | :46:59. | |
James. Where is Carol? We're over here. We are on the roof of | :47:00. | :47:08. | |
Broadcasting House in London. In the south-east the temperature is now 20 | :47:09. | :47:12. | |
Celsius. But we have some thunder storms and some heavy rain in the | :47:13. | :47:17. | |
forecast. We have torrential down pours ore over western Scotland and | :47:18. | :47:23. | |
Northern Ireland and that is drifting across the rest of Scotland | :47:24. | :47:27. | |
and northern England. Behind it, fresher conditions, some sunshine | :47:28. | :47:31. | |
and some showers. On the charts you can see where we have the rain, | :47:32. | :47:34. | |
across Scotland and northern England. The whole lot pushing | :47:35. | :47:39. | |
eastwards. For Northern Ireland it is bright spells and some showers | :47:40. | :47:43. | |
and for England and for Wales a similar story - bright spells, | :47:44. | :47:49. | |
sunshine and showers. As we head into the afternoon, the rain will be | :47:50. | :47:53. | |
continuing to journey across the Grampians, heading through the | :47:54. | :47:57. | |
Highlands, up to the Northern Isles, still heavy bursts in it. And behind | :47:58. | :48:03. | |
it some showers, but some sunny skies. Temperature in the Northern | :48:04. | :48:07. | |
Isles up to 14 Celsius. In Edinburgh, up to 20 Celsius. For | :48:08. | :48:11. | |
northern England, by the afternoon the rain will be continuing its | :48:12. | :48:15. | |
journey, moving in the direction of the North Sea, so north-west England | :48:16. | :48:21. | |
brightening up. But still wet in parts of north-east England. Coming | :48:22. | :48:27. | |
south we have a line of cloud extending roughly through | :48:28. | :48:30. | |
Lincolnshire and Yorkshire, Cambridgeshire and down to Sussex. | :48:31. | :48:34. | |
That is a cold front. Ahead of it it is going to be muggy and eastern | :48:35. | :48:40. | |
will have temperatures about 25. Behind it fresher conditions. Bright | :48:41. | :48:44. | |
spells and sunshine and showers. You will see showers in South West | :48:45. | :48:50. | |
England, Wales and Northern Ireland. So through the night, our rain | :48:51. | :48:57. | |
continues northwards. We will have further showers into the west of the | :48:58. | :49:00. | |
UK and we will see some clear skies. So tonight it is going to be a | :49:01. | :49:05. | |
fresher night than the one that has just gone with temperatures into the | :49:06. | :49:10. | |
low teens. Around 12 to 14. Tomorrow, we pick up the rain again | :49:11. | :49:15. | |
across the Northern Isles. At times it will wave into the far north of | :49:16. | :49:20. | |
mainland Scotland. For many of us tomorrow will be dry. There will be | :49:21. | :49:24. | |
sunshine and bright spells and some cloud. And we will have some | :49:25. | :49:28. | |
showers. The showers mainly in the west. By then all of us will be | :49:29. | :49:32. | |
feeling that bit fresh we are highs up to 23. As we head into Friday, | :49:33. | :49:38. | |
again a lot of dry weather especially so across England and | :49:39. | :49:41. | |
Wales. Here there will be bright spells and sunshine. But there will | :49:42. | :49:47. | |
be showers in Northern Ireland and Scotland. Some well merge. It will | :49:48. | :49:54. | |
fool cooler. In the north about 20. In the south in the sunshine we | :49:55. | :50:02. | |
could hit up to 24 in the south-east. Now we are back over | :50:03. | :50:12. | |
here. We got both views. We have full team Kirkwood. Is that Paul. | :50:13. | :50:16. | |
Paul's the one in the beard everyone. Carol doesn't know they | :50:17. | :50:20. | |
have locked the doors! These breathtaking scenes behind us | :50:21. | :50:27. | |
were captured by a BBC team looking in to the extraordinary people | :50:28. | :50:30. | |
and animals who call Life on the Himalayas, | :50:31. | :50:32. | |
Rockies and Andes has been captured to give us a glimpse of life in some | :50:33. | :50:38. | |
of the toughest places on earth. It echos for miles | :50:39. | :50:41. | |
around the mountains - clashing horns with eight times | :50:42. | :50:49. | |
the force that would fracture Other creatures would | :50:50. | :50:51. | |
get brain damage. But big horns have double-thickness | :50:52. | :51:08. | |
skulls to soak up the shock. The losers are left | :51:09. | :51:24. | |
with with a sore head! We're joined by producers, Steve | :51:25. | :51:30. | |
Greenwood and Alex Lanchester. Thank you for coming on. Let's talk | :51:31. | :51:42. | |
about some of the difficulties in filming in landscapes and places | :51:43. | :51:46. | |
like that. How was it difficult to put together this film? Well, | :51:47. | :51:51. | |
mountains are tough in a few ways. Because they're very cold and windy. | :51:52. | :51:57. | |
Up in the Himalayas, there is not a lot of oxygen and the animals are | :51:58. | :52:02. | |
very far apart. You need a lot of patience and do a lot of research | :52:03. | :52:08. | |
and prepared to be very cold. How do you plan this, you can't guarantee | :52:09. | :52:12. | |
when the animals will appear and the weather. In terms of timing, | :52:13. | :52:16. | |
commissioning, something like this. How does that work? You have had to | :52:17. | :52:21. | |
make a best guess really. You know they should be there and you can | :52:22. | :52:25. | |
speak to scientists and they say this is the time of year the | :52:26. | :52:29. | |
breeding season when they should be doing their behaviour and you have | :52:30. | :52:35. | |
to kind of cross your fingers a bit. How long did it take to get? What | :52:36. | :52:43. | |
are we see something That is blue sheep in the Himalayas and those are | :52:44. | :52:49. | |
snow leopards. This is a story about villagers who live by snow leopards. | :52:50. | :52:55. | |
So the problem the villagers have had is the leopards, they have been | :52:56. | :53:00. | |
attacking their livestock. Normally, you would think they would get angry | :53:01. | :53:04. | |
and want to get rid of snow leopards. But they have come up with | :53:05. | :53:08. | |
an amazing forward thinking plan. They have built their own wildlife | :53:09. | :53:13. | |
reserve. They're going through village. These animals are their | :53:14. | :53:19. | |
complete, without them they have nothing. It is sort of their entire | :53:20. | :53:24. | |
life is around their animals. If they lose them, I is a major thing. | :53:25. | :53:31. | |
But they really admire and love the snow leopards and have made their | :53:32. | :53:36. | |
own wildlife sanctuary to pro serve them. It is remarkable how the world | :53:37. | :53:44. | |
has changed, our understanding of living with nature is changing. I | :53:45. | :53:48. | |
think people attitudes are changing around the world and we are learning | :53:49. | :53:52. | |
from people from different cultures who have been living with these | :53:53. | :53:57. | |
animals for thousands of years and find some way to live together. It | :53:58. | :54:01. | |
is, there is a lot of lessons to be learned. In terms of getting the | :54:02. | :54:06. | |
footage, a year into the filming to find this stuff, you have got | :54:07. | :54:11. | |
experts who are saying, can you go and sit in a cold place for two | :54:12. | :54:17. | |
weeks with the chance of getting a shot of a rare animal? Yes, it is | :54:18. | :54:23. | |
the ultimate patience game. What was the biggest reward? We had lots. One | :54:24. | :54:29. | |
of our animals in the The Rockies film is the Wolverine and people | :54:30. | :54:34. | |
think of Hugh Jackman, but it is a real animal, it is like a badger on | :54:35. | :54:40. | |
steroids. Hugh Jackman would be very offended! People can spend their | :54:41. | :54:48. | |
whole life time there and never see them. But we have a man who got | :54:49. | :54:54. | |
shots of this extraordinary animal. In terms of your roles as producers, | :54:55. | :55:00. | |
episode one and two, the first two, do you know when you have got a | :55:01. | :55:04. | |
perfect sequence, or does that only come together in the editing | :55:05. | :55:09. | |
process. Or are you like well done, we have the killer shot and we can | :55:10. | :55:12. | |
use it in this way and you're planning the programme as you see it | :55:13. | :55:19. | |
develop? You can always do better. But it is great when you get that | :55:20. | :55:25. | |
moment and you shee an amazing bit behaviour. You always think we can | :55:26. | :55:32. | |
do better. There is a man in a precarious position, tell me what is | :55:33. | :55:41. | |
happening here? This is Jeff, who lives in the Rockies and he likes to | :55:42. | :55:47. | |
be a wing-Suter. This cliff is 3,000 feet high. Since he has been a kid | :55:48. | :55:54. | |
he what has wanted to be a bird and he became a hang glider and later a | :55:55. | :56:16. | |
wing-suiter. We have cameras and we have a person in a wing-suit behind | :56:17. | :56:22. | |
him. And we had some incredible camera people involved. That is | :56:23. | :56:28. | |
staggering. Don't try this at home! I imagine the health and safety | :56:29. | :56:32. | |
forms. He is very good and he has done it for a long time. What I'm | :56:33. | :56:36. | |
certain of is we have shown some amazing clips of the programme and | :56:37. | :56:41. | |
that is not, that hasn't spoilt anything. We have loads more, we | :56:42. | :56:50. | |
have cougars and hummingbirds. What do you want people too take from the | :56:51. | :56:55. | |
series? I think it an appreciation of how tough it is for the people | :56:56. | :57:01. | |
and the animals in the mountains and what amazing wildlife there is | :57:02. | :57:03. | |
there. Thank you very much. "Mountain: Life At The Extreme" | :57:04. | :57:07. | |
is on BBC Two, next Wednesday, Is it one that makes you laugh | :57:08. | :57:10. | |
until you can't breathe, or maybe one that combines humour | :57:11. | :57:22. | |
with a serious storyline? That was the question posed to 253 | :57:23. | :57:24. | |
film critics by BBC Culture, who have just unveiled their list | :57:25. | :57:27. | |
of the 100 greatest They asked critics from 52 countries | :57:28. | :57:29. | |
to list their ten favourite comedies, and the results | :57:30. | :57:34. | |
were then combined. BBC Culture editor Rebecca | :57:35. | :57:37. | |
Laurence joins us now So at No 1 was? It was the classic | :57:38. | :57:57. | |
1959 comedy, starring Jack Lemon and Marilyn Monroe, Some Like It Hot. Do | :57:58. | :58:05. | |
you agree it should be at No 1? Yes I am over the moon for it. It is one | :58:06. | :58:10. | |
of my top films of all time. Let's see it. | :58:11. | :58:29. | |
Look at that! Look how she moves. That's just like Jello on springs. | :58:30. | :58:40. | |
It has a built in motor. I tell you it's a whole different sex. Nobody's | :58:41. | :58:45. | |
asking you to have a baby. This gist to get out of town. This time I | :58:46. | :58:50. | |
won't let you talk me into something. Extra-feared who haddy | :58:51. | :59:00. | |
aftermath. You talked me it into. Let's go Josephine. What did this | :59:01. | :59:08. | |
survey tell you about the way that comedy travels and what is funny in | :59:09. | :59:12. | |
some countries and doesn't work elsewhere? At the top five films in | :59:13. | :59:23. | |
all the regions we surveyed were remarkably similar. But there were | :59:24. | :59:26. | |
some differences from region to region. Using the number one film | :59:27. | :59:34. | |
for example, Some Like It Hot had strong support in South America, | :59:35. | :59:39. | |
Europe, and Asia, but only 25% of our critics in North America voted | :59:40. | :59:45. | |
for it. If we had only done a survey in North America they would have | :59:46. | :59:56. | |
voted for Dr Strangelove. Their plane was a huge hit among our North | :59:57. | :00:01. | |
American critics but did not travel so well elsewhere. -- Airplane was a | :00:02. | :00:15. | |
huge hit. And also Withnail I did well here, but elsewhere did not do | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
as well. So what are you suggesting there is a humour which does well | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
here but does not travel well? Yes. Life Of Brian performed very well | :00:25. | :00:31. | |
here and in Europe, but less well around the world, so maybe that is | :00:32. | :00:39. | |
true. One of your top films was Trading Places. | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
It didn't do well. It is shocking. We want people to encourage us and | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
tell us what we got wrong. Please tell us what we missed out. I think | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
you need lots of people on that website. Thanks very much. We are | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
talking about wasps. Wasps are up there with our biggest | :01:01. | :01:01. | |
summer bug-bears but scientists know very little about them compared | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
to the other insects Teams from two universities | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
are asking us to trap wasps in the name of science as part | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
of the Big Wasp Survey - a first nationwide | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
attempt to count them. Dr Seirian Sumner is | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
leading the research. Good morning. You want us, why do | :01:19. | :01:32. | |
you care about wasps? They are actually incredibly important. We | :01:33. | :01:40. | |
know how important they are as pollinators. They are the much | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
misunderstood, the prankster of the insect world. -- we know how | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
important these are as pollinators. A world without wasps would probably | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
mean that your gardens would be inundated with aphids. You wouldn't | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
have tomato plants. The caterpillars would be all over your cabbages. | :02:02. | :02:11. | |
They also eat your peas, don't they? I heard that. That is not correct. | :02:12. | :02:23. | |
Pests. Wasps do not eat peas. You want people to take part in the | :02:24. | :02:31. | |
survey. Naga And has the kind of thing you need. We are asking people | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
to make a trap. Get a water bottle, cut off the top third, invert it. | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
Put something into attract them, use orange juice or Beer. Hang some | :02:46. | :02:53. | |
string on it. We have done a lot here. It's great. Put the nozzle in. | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
Make sure it does not touch the fluid. Hang it up at the bottom of | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
your garden. Make sure it is far away from many areas where people | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
hang around or children play. Because it will attract wasps. The | :03:08. | :03:16. | |
wasp flies in, down the final, attracted to the Orange or Beer, and | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
then it will. Beekeepers use these kinds of traps to keep wasps away | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
from their beehives. And they are used to get samples of wasps around | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
the world. Although we are asking you to attract a few into your trap | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
and send them to ask it is necessary to do that. We know so little about | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
wasps. To get the basic biology information we need to be able to | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
identify them. You're expecting people to pop it in a plastic bag | :03:48. | :03:55. | |
and into an envelope? You can see the video online. The video explains | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
how you train them off in the races after you have caught them. Put them | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
in tinfoil. Put them in an envelope. Post them to us. You want to see the | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
different biology is of wasps from around the country. The traps will | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
tell us which species and where. We want people to send in traps from | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
all over the country. We don't want them focused in one area. If we can | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
get a sampling from across the nation we will get a good | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
understanding. You could always rely on the Breakfast viewers to do this. | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
To correct the incorrect peas information from earlier. Is it true | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
that some wasps are not in colonies? There are some lone rangers. That's | :04:42. | :04:49. | |
right. The organism we think of when we think about wasps is the yellow | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
jacket one, that is what is behind you, this is what you will be | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
attracting in your traps. There are over 150,000 species of wasps in the | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
world. Only 5000 of those living colonies. A handful of the yellow | :05:04. | :05:10. | |
jacket wasps which everybody thinks is the wasp. There are lots to know | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
about them. Is it true that if you kill a wasp | :05:14. | :05:22. | |
it angers the other ones? In some species. A bit of wasp knowledge | :05:23. | :05:35. | |
after my incorrect peas information. Thank you very much for clearing up | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
some of that. I'm sure our viewers will get involved. There will be | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
more of the big wasp survey on country file on the 3rd of | :05:44. | :05:59. | |
September. -- Countryfiile on the 3rd of September. | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
We will talk to a man who sketches in war zones shortly. | :06:03. | :07:39. | |
When it comes to war reporting we're used to relying on the bravery | :07:40. | :07:52. | |
of reporters and photographers to paint a picture of | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
However, our next guest goes into war zones armed with just | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
paper and water colours to illustrate the destruction. | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
We'll speak to George Butler in moment, but let's take a look | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
Welcome. Some fascinating situations you have been in. What on earth made | :08:04. | :09:08. | |
you decide this is what you want to do and needed to do. I did | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
illustration at university. Like a photojournalist, I guess, it is just | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
another way of recording some difficult situations, or some | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
unusual ones around the world. Drawing, I think is a great way of | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
doing that. What's the first one you affected? War zone. I spent some | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
time in Afghanistan with the British Army in 2007. It just feels like an | :09:36. | :09:44. | |
unnatural thing to do. When you are there, people are running away from | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
whatever it might be. We see lots of footage on the news. We see pictures | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
of you sitting down, sketching, and painting. Which is why I am sure you | :09:55. | :10:02. | |
attract a crowd when you do this. The one thing drawing has over | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
photography or film, you sit down on the floor, it doesn't take long, 60 | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
seconds, somebody comes over, they call over their mates, they are | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
laughing at their friend because the picture doesn't look like them. Once | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
they are involved they don't feel threatened. Then out comes the | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
stories. Come and see my shop, it was bombed yesterday, or commencing | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
my father, he isn't well. I don't think that interview technique | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
exists any more. Well, if it does we don't take advantage of it. That is | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
why drawing is so good. -- or come and see my father, he isn't well. | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
There were refugees being screened in a line. We can take a look at | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
this. This is about ten kilometres south of Mosul in April. Every man | :10:57. | :11:06. | |
comes out of Mosul in a truck. They come to this centre. About 4000 | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
people a deep humour. They are checked on the computer to see if | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
they are a member Isis or not. A rudimentary chick. But one which is | :11:17. | :11:25. | |
necessary. -- a rudimentary check. A lot of people don't want to be | :11:26. | :11:33. | |
photographed. Lots of people are treated almost as if they have been | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
kept there four days. Tell us about one of the individuals who met, | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
Mustapha. -- been kept there for days. Yes, he was also an artist. He | :11:45. | :11:52. | |
had been drawing in 2014 under the Isis occupation of his town. They | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
had eventually found these drawings he had done of some of the | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
atrocities they had committed another people in the town. They | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
beat him for it. The band him from doing it. But he carried on. -- they | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
banned him. He had a huge pile of drawings. That process of sitting in | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
front of him with a piece of paper he could see what I was doing. He | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
was shy. His glasses were wonky on his face. We sat and talked about | :12:23. | :12:29. | |
it. It was a gentle, balanced way of trying to record something. It must | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
be difficult to witness, what you have witnessed. You spoke about the | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
refugees in Mosul but also the rubble and the destruction of war. I | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
wonder if you got a point where you thought I don't want this recorded. | :12:43. | :12:50. | |
-- I wonder if you got to a point. Once was there I decided it was more | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
useful to record it. We were on a street in West Mosul which had been | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
liberated one before. These four guys were clearing the rubble from | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
the home. I went over and started drawing. The front of the house was | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
missing but you could see a chandelier. I remember the pineapple | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
tiles in the kitchen. The man who owned the house had lost basically | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
all of his family. You have to decide whether you want to record it | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
or not. He is telling the story. In that sense I find it more reassuring | :13:29. | :13:36. | |
that people are willing to communicate with you. An amazing way | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
of cataloguing truly remarkable stories. Thanks very much for being | :13:43. | :13:43. | |
here this morning. I'll be back with Charlie tomorrow | :13:44. | :13:44. | |
morning from six o'clock. The next batch of celebs | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
are about to reach boiling point. I don't know how people do this, | :13:50. | :14:09. | |
like, eight hours a day, I really don't. | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
I'm just a bit like, ahhh! | :14:13. | :14:15. |
