:01:34. > :01:45.Good morning. Good morning. I am in Whitby all morning. Bank Holiday

:01:46. > :01:50.weekend. The sun is up. Heavy rain today in Northern Ireland and

:01:51. > :01:52.western Scotland. I have the full Bank Holiday weekend forecast coming

:01:53. > :01:55.up. Thank you. Major travel disruption is expected

:01:56. > :02:00.over the weekend as millions prepare for the Bank Holiday getaway

:02:01. > :02:03.amid engineering works on some of the country's

:02:04. > :02:04.busiest rail routes. Operators have warned

:02:05. > :02:06.passengers to expect delays, as services between London,

:02:07. > :02:08.the north-west and Scotland are cancelled and five of London's

:02:09. > :02:11.biggest stations face disruption. Keith Doyle is at London Euston

:02:12. > :02:14.station, which will close How will travellers be

:02:15. > :02:28.affected this weekend? What kind of disruption will we

:02:29. > :02:33.have? Good morning. It will be a busy day. But tomorrow and Sunday,

:02:34. > :02:38.this station will be completely closed, meaning no west coast

:02:39. > :02:45.services from Scotland, Birmingham, into London, or out again. There is

:02:46. > :02:49.lots of disruption and other key stations in London and across the

:02:50. > :02:54.UK. Network Rail is using this holiday period to carry out

:02:55. > :02:59.significant work on major rail projects. 70,000 engineering staff

:03:00. > :03:04.will be working on the railways over this holiday weekend. They say it

:03:05. > :03:08.will be good for passengers in the end, but for many wanting to travel

:03:09. > :03:11.this weekend, well, it could be very difficult indeed.

:03:12. > :03:16.Travelling by train this Bank Holiday weekend will be difficult

:03:17. > :03:20.for many, and some journeys will be impossible. Engineering work is

:03:21. > :03:30.taking place at five of London's main stations. They will have

:03:31. > :03:34.greatly reduced services. Euston will be close completely on Saturday

:03:35. > :03:39.and Sunday at the work on HS2 means no trains from Scotland and the

:03:40. > :03:43.north of England to London on the West Coast Mainline on Saturday and

:03:44. > :03:48.Sunday. Services from the Midlands will only go as far south as

:03:49. > :03:51.Rockhampton. Great western services out of Paddington to Wales will be

:03:52. > :03:56.disrupted until next month with no services between Newport and Cardiff

:03:57. > :04:00.this weekend. King's Cross Station in London is expected to be very

:04:01. > :04:05.busy, and it won't just be the stations. Road traffic is expected

:04:06. > :04:10.to be 20% greater compared to last year's summer Bank Holiday. 5

:04:11. > :04:16.million people will go to the roads on Monday alone. Nearly a quarter of

:04:17. > :04:21.the million passengers will use Heathrow today, and over 300,000

:04:22. > :04:28.will use Gatwick over the weekend. So whether it is planes, trains, or

:04:29. > :04:30.automobiles, it will be a busy few days.

:04:31. > :04:38.I mentioned some of the main closures and disruptions. But so

:04:39. > :04:51.many things are happening that you should check out the advice and

:04:52. > :04:59.perhaps don't travel. The Nottingham Carnival is on this weekend. The

:05:00. > :05:06.Rugby League final with the Warriors. Many Premier League games

:05:07. > :05:12.that usually have supporters using those routes. The company says this

:05:13. > :05:17.is essential and will transform train travel for years to come up be

:05:18. > :05:21.they say it is the best time to carry out this work. People are

:05:22. > :05:27.asking why it has to take place over the same weekend. I am sorry to say

:05:28. > :05:32.the roads will be busy as well. 18 million journeys expected this

:05:33. > :05:35.weekend. Some of the major roadworks have been cleared the EU is

:05:36. > :05:42.congestion, but there will still be a problem. -- to ease. I am sorry,

:05:43. > :05:45.not much good news. Thank you. South Wales Police missed a number

:05:46. > :05:49.of opportunities to bring convicted paedophile, Ian Watkins,

:05:50. > :05:51.to justice sooner, an investigation The Independent Police Complaints

:06:36. > :06:38.politicians that they should learn from Theresa May's mistake and avoid

:06:39. > :06:39.holding elections before they are ready.

:06:40. > :06:42.During a two-day visit to Libya, Mr Johnson urged all sides

:06:43. > :06:45.to compromise, in an attempt to unite their divided country.

:06:49. > :07:03.We have been encouraging them and telling them about politics, telling

:07:04. > :07:06.them about what it takes to fight an election, warning them about some of

:07:07. > :07:13.the pitfalls of calling elections too soon for instance, one of the

:07:14. > :07:21.risks they face here because they have not got their ducks lined up

:07:22. > :07:27.properly. But I am encouraged genuinely by what I have seen over

:07:28. > :07:28.the last 48 hours. There is the chance for a political deal that

:07:29. > :07:36.could lead to a successful election. Texas is bracing itself

:07:37. > :07:38.for Hurricane Harvey, which could be the worst storm

:07:39. > :07:44.to hit the US mainland in 12 years. The Category 3 storm is expected

:07:45. > :07:46.to make landfall along There are concerns that torrential

:07:47. > :07:50.rain could bring life-threatening Plans to test convoys of lorries,

:07:51. > :07:54.controlled by just one driver, are to be carried out on major

:07:55. > :07:58.British roads by the end of next year as part of a plan to cut

:07:59. > :08:01.emissions and reduce congestion. The Department of Transport says up

:08:02. > :08:04.to three wirelessly connected HGVs will travel together,

:08:05. > :08:07.with drivers in each to steer and the speed controlled

:08:08. > :08:08.by the lead vehicle. But the AA says it has major safety

:08:09. > :08:11.concerns about the idea as our correspondent,

:08:12. > :08:22.Andy Gill, reports. They call it platooning trucks,

:08:23. > :08:27.driven by Wi-Fi with much less space between them than normal. This Dutch

:08:28. > :08:35.project uses two vehicles. The trial announced here will use three. It

:08:36. > :08:41.will take up less space on the network and improve efficiency and

:08:42. > :08:49.pass on the savings to the consumer. Each lorry has a driver, but the

:08:50. > :08:54.main cab has control. To think about how three could travel down a road

:08:55. > :09:00.in a row, imagine the lead truck is a giant Wi-Fi hub, sending out

:09:01. > :09:05.signals of the distances and speeds the other two need to travel at. The

:09:06. > :09:10.Wi-Fi on the trailing two trucks can react much more quickly to signals

:09:11. > :09:16.than a human being can. The funding announcement was made at a

:09:22. > :09:27.slipstream so fuel consumption falls. But one road using body is

:09:28. > :09:36.sceptical. UK motorways are the most congested in Europe. We have more

:09:37. > :09:40.entrances and exits. Having a platoon of trucks will be difficult

:09:41. > :09:43.to see the road signs and exit. There will be rigourous safety

:09:44. > :09:50.checks before any are allowed on the road. Then they will compare real

:10:48. > :10:53.Her chances of winning were just one in 292 million.

:10:54. > :11:05.Firstly, I want to just sit back and relax. I had a pipedream. It came

:11:06. > :11:14.true. Wanted to retire. It came early. Where do you were? A medical

:11:15. > :11:20.centre. I was there for 22 years. Do your family know? Well, I have

:11:21. > :11:30.called my boss and told them I am not going back. Not going back. That

:11:31. > :11:39.is amazing. She should change her name to wons it. I liked it. How are

:11:40. > :11:51.you? Talking about people who have won things. He could change his name

:11:52. > :11:57.as well. She can do whatever she wants, because she has the money. I

:11:58. > :12:01.am sorry, I am distracting you. A familiar celebration. We will not

:12:02. > :12:08.see it any more, especially on the track. It has been a long by which

:12:09. > :12:20.we saw at the World Championships. The final race on British soil. The

:12:21. > :12:22.final one is in Zurich. I don't mind stretching out that goodbye. He

:12:23. > :12:23.deserves it. Mo Farah's final race on the track

:12:24. > :12:26.finishes with victory, He won the 5,000 metres

:12:27. > :12:40.in the Diamond League by just four Have a look at that. A very tight

:12:41. > :12:46.one. He beat the man who beat him in the same event at the World

:12:47. > :12:49.Championship. Getting his own back. This is how you justify a four to ?5

:12:50. > :12:54.million pricetag. -- ?45 million. Everton are through to

:12:55. > :12:57.the Europa League group stage thanks to this amazing goal

:12:58. > :12:59.from new signing Gylfi Sigurdsson. They beat Hadjuk Split 3-1

:13:00. > :13:02.overall in their playoff. Tottenham will face

:13:03. > :13:06.the Champions League holders Real Madrid in the group stage

:13:07. > :13:08.of this season's competition. Spurs were drawn in the same group

:13:09. > :13:11.as the Spanish champions while Chelsea are alongside

:13:12. > :13:14.Atletico Madrid and Roma. The England captain will lead

:13:15. > :13:19.the side out for the Second Test against West Indies at Headingley,

:13:20. > :13:31.his home ground. That is the stuff of boyhood dreams.

:13:32. > :13:37.I am sure he wants to follow that up on home ground. Would you like to

:13:47. > :13:54.Why don't you step aside, we can watch that? We were talking about

:13:55. > :13:58.that, leave the camera on that all morning, we will go home and have a

:13:59. > :14:04.coffee. Glorious start in Whitby this morning, beautiful sunrise.

:14:05. > :14:10.Nice and dry. Bolellli count, we will be here all morning, but they

:14:11. > :14:19.make their deckchairs on the big side.

:14:20. > :14:27.Out more about that through the programme and I will try to get

:14:28. > :14:31.myself up there as well at some point. Let's crack on with the

:14:32. > :14:36.forecast, a few in the deckchairs this weekend. Bank holiday for many

:14:37. > :14:39.and there is some sunshine in the forecast and quite a bit of dry

:14:40. > :14:43.weather but this morning while we have sunshine for many parts, there

:14:44. > :14:46.is some rain to come, especially in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

:14:47. > :14:49.Starting in Scotland, a scattering of showers this morning with the odd

:14:50. > :14:54.heavy one and they will get heavier through the day and more widespread

:14:55. > :14:57.but not everyone seeing them this morning, some staying dry. A dry

:14:58. > :15:02.start in northern England with broken cloud, like here in Whitby,

:15:03. > :15:06.sunny spells and the cloud will thicken up later but further south

:15:07. > :15:11.to the Midlands, East Anglia and southern England, light winds with a

:15:12. > :15:15.cool start and mist and fog patches and temperatures in single figures

:15:16. > :15:18.but soon warming up under the light winds and sunshine overhead. That

:15:19. > :15:23.sunshine extends across much of central, southern England and

:15:24. > :15:27.through a good part of Wales too. Cloud in Northern Ireland. A lot of

:15:28. > :15:30.rain in Northern Ireland this week and there's the risk of minor

:15:31. > :15:34.flooding here through the day because still some heavy bursts of

:15:35. > :15:37.rain at times. Longer spells of rain possible and that will affect

:15:38. > :15:41.western parts of Scotland through the day. I don't think anyone plays

:15:42. > :15:45.will be wet all day long. You should get to see some drier and brighter

:15:46. > :15:48.moments but these are the areas that will see some of the wettest

:15:49. > :15:52.conditions and heavy and thundery conditions in Scotland, especially

:15:53. > :15:55.the north and east later. Temperatures in the breeze in the

:15:56. > :16:00.mid-to-high teens at best in the north, further south, mid 20s,

:16:01. > :16:04.pleasant day in store. This evening and overnight we will see showers to

:16:05. > :16:08.end the day in northern England as the cloud thickens, they will come

:16:09. > :16:11.and go through the night. Still outbreaks of rain in Scotland and

:16:12. > :16:14.Northern Ireland, easing from the west gradually but some stay wet in

:16:15. > :16:17.the morning. Temperatures holding up more than last night given the fact

:16:18. > :16:22.there will be slightly more breeze and a bit more cloud, especially

:16:23. > :16:27.further south. Into the bank holiday weekend. Saturday, a story of

:16:28. > :16:30.sunshine and a few showers. Eder today for Northern Ireland and

:16:31. > :16:39.western Scotland and heavy downpours in eastern Scotland -- a dry day.

:16:40. > :16:41.Most of you will avoid the showers altogether on Saturday and feeling

:16:42. > :16:47.warm in the sunshine that further south you are. As we go into Sunday,

:16:48. > :16:53.we continue with the largely dry story. Almost UK wide. Most places

:16:54. > :16:57.will be dry. Cloud amounts will vary quite a bit from one place to the

:16:58. > :17:00.next and through the day but still sunshine breaking through in many

:17:01. > :17:04.areas and feeling warm in the sunshine. On the bank holiday,

:17:05. > :17:09.England and Wales will see sunshine and increasing warmth, especially in

:17:10. > :17:13.the south, could hit 27 or 28. Scotland and Northern Ireland

:17:14. > :17:18.starting bright, dry, wet and windy from the west later with gales in

:17:19. > :17:22.the far west of Scotland. For a bank holiday weekend, can't complain, dry

:17:23. > :17:26.and sunny for many and particularly warm in southern areas. More updates

:17:27. > :17:31.through the morning from Whitby. I'll see you in half an hour. Can

:17:32. > :17:35.you indulge us, you and your camera team, to push the camera away from

:17:36. > :17:43.you so we can see the sun rise again. Go on then. It has gone

:17:44. > :17:49.behind the cloud. There we go, it has not quite the image we were

:17:50. > :17:55.looking for but that looks nice, doesn't... More through the morning

:17:56. > :18:03.anyway. There's a lovely view. Another view from Whitby. Wonderful.

:18:04. > :18:05.Is it coming and going? No. We have had our fill, we've had enough.

:18:06. > :18:12.Let's look at the papers. Has it put you in the mood for the bank all day

:18:13. > :18:17.weekend? If we get weather like that then we will all be happy! The front

:18:18. > :18:23.pages. Facebook is publishing a list of people smugglers and slave

:18:24. > :18:27.trading gangs using Facebook to broadcast the abuse and torture of

:18:28. > :18:32.migrants to extort ransom money from their families. Traffickers using

:18:33. > :18:37.videos. An investigation by the Times. The picture is Judi Dench, at

:18:38. > :18:41.82 she is saying she loves life but she reveals she has failing eyesight

:18:42. > :18:49.so she can't read a book any more. Sir David Attenborough, 91, suggests

:18:50. > :18:54.he is more optimistic now about the future of the planet than ever

:18:55. > :18:57.before, which is nice to think if he is optimistic.

:18:58. > :19:01.The problems on the rail networks over the weekend are dominating our

:19:02. > :19:05.coverage this morning but on the front page of the Daily Telegraph,

:19:06. > :19:11.the roads, driverless lorries with Wi-Fi helping them. They have worked

:19:12. > :19:17.with convoys on the road and this story is about people using their

:19:18. > :19:21.phones as sat navs, saying drivers risk being banned from the roads

:19:22. > :19:26.according to police chiefs. That's on the front page of the Daily Mail,

:19:27. > :19:32.the driverless lorries. On the front page of the Mirror, lots of

:19:33. > :19:36.stations, Euston Station closed, others too, lots of works across the

:19:37. > :19:42.bank holiday weekend. My attention is drawn to that curious image you

:19:43. > :19:46.have. On the back of the Sun, if you're into boxing or not, there's

:19:47. > :19:49.an interesting fight between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather, some

:19:50. > :19:57.saying it's not a genuine sporting event. It's not a very fair matchup

:19:58. > :20:02.looking at those two pictures! Here's his son, to add to the circus

:20:03. > :20:06.that is the fight this weekend, his son is wearing a rather snappy suit

:20:07. > :20:13.and some shades. Conor McGregor junior. He will grow out of that so

:20:14. > :20:17.quickly! In the way that those big fights do, it has thrown up some

:20:18. > :20:22.bizarre things along the way. And money. Floyd Mayweather is all about

:20:23. > :20:27.money, he calls himself the Money Team and by a stepping out into the

:20:28. > :20:32.ring, sponsorship on his shorts will be $25 million alone. We saw the

:20:33. > :20:38.belt yesterday, did you see it, with the diamonds and alligator skin.

:20:39. > :20:41.Very Vegas. Yes it is. Where else would you hold it? We will be

:20:42. > :20:42.talking later on. It's one of the busiest motorway

:20:43. > :20:45.junctions in the country with more But plans to improve the M25

:20:46. > :20:50.at Junction 10 and the A3 Wisley interchange could threaten a number

:20:51. > :20:53.of rare trees and plants. Highways England says the upgrade

:20:54. > :20:55.will make the both roads safer but campaigners including

:20:56. > :20:58.Alan Titchmarsh are calling for British gardeners

:20:59. > :21:00.to take a stand. Tim Muffett is in Wisley

:21:01. > :21:11.for us this morning. A glorious location, Tim, but there

:21:12. > :21:18.is some tension around the place. Good morning. Good morning. What a

:21:19. > :21:22.fabulous spot this is, the Royal horticultural Society's garden at

:21:23. > :21:27.Wisley in Surrey. A beautiful sight but you might be able to hear

:21:28. > :21:31.traffic behind me, that is the a three and it's a very busy road and

:21:32. > :21:41.as you say it is close to a junction with the Emperor and the. -- a road

:21:42. > :21:42.three. -- M25 -- A3. Here's an explainer about the situation and

:21:43. > :21:51.why some people aren't happy. It's been considered a centre of

:21:52. > :21:57.horticultural excellence for more than a century, but Wisley lies

:21:58. > :22:03.close to where the M2 meets the A3. The Junction is often congested. At

:22:04. > :22:06.peak times it's used... According to Highways England it has one of the

:22:07. > :22:11.highest collision rates in the country and needs improving. The

:22:12. > :22:20.Royal horticultural Society says one plan being considered would see the

:22:21. > :22:26.A3 widen. 500 trees would be cut down -- widened. A prospect that has

:22:27. > :22:31.angered some. This is a giant redwood. You've heard of these,

:22:32. > :22:39.massive. Over 100 years old. One of several down this great strip. This

:22:40. > :22:44.along with rhododendrons, magnolias, comedians would all go.

:22:45. > :22:48.The RHS once Highways England to choose another option, one that

:22:49. > :22:49.would have less impact on these historic gardens.

:22:50. > :22:59.Let's have a chat with the curator at RHS Wisley. How bad would this be

:23:00. > :23:02.potentially in your view? This is a devastating landscape change for

:23:03. > :23:06.Wisley and it's part of the Surrey countryside, we're talking about a

:23:07. > :23:10.strip of trees that have been here for 100 years, they are big

:23:11. > :23:15.redwoods, a huge bank of trees. The trees we see behind me, from their

:23:16. > :23:19.further down all the way along here and down to there would potentially

:23:20. > :23:25.go if the decision doesn't go your way? That's right. Three garden

:23:26. > :23:31.areas, our main arboretum, a garden and that Alston Hill, one of the

:23:32. > :23:35.famous parts of Wisley. Clearly road expansion is needed, the Junction is

:23:36. > :23:41.dangerous, congested and changes need to be made. Changes have an

:23:42. > :23:45.impact, do you accept that? We do and it's important to say the RHS

:23:46. > :23:48.supports the improvement of this road. I tried it myself every day,

:23:49. > :23:54.it isn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination -- I drive it.

:23:55. > :23:59.There's an option to widen the M3 that doesn't involve a land grab of

:24:00. > :24:02.this heritage garden. Do you think the options available, under

:24:03. > :24:06.consideration by Highways England at the moment, do you feel they are

:24:07. > :24:10.working with you as well as they should be? They say they are. We

:24:11. > :24:14.discussed an option which was one of their earliest options which was to

:24:15. > :24:18.expand the land to the east of the A3 which doesn't involve the land

:24:19. > :24:22.grab. We don't have the assurances we want and we need to know this

:24:23. > :24:25.heritage site enjoyed by over 1 million people a year will be safe

:24:26. > :24:29.and protected. Thanks very much, Matthew. Later we

:24:30. > :24:33.will talk to a motoring journalist who believes we should take other

:24:34. > :24:37.things into account when making these decisions. Highways England

:24:38. > :24:44.have given us a statement, they say they care about the environment and

:24:45. > :24:47.protecting the habitat around Wisley is a priority as it develops

:24:48. > :24:51.proposals for the junction. They say they are working closely with the

:24:52. > :24:53.RHS and they have a proud track record of delivering road

:24:54. > :24:57.improvements that protects and is an times in Hance is the environment.

:24:58. > :25:03.Two sides of the argument but there is concern here that if the A3 --

:25:04. > :25:08.and in harnesses the environment. An announcement is due in the next few

:25:09. > :25:10.weeks. We will keep an eye on that and you will keep us updated through

:25:11. > :25:10.the morning. Big brands are always looking

:25:11. > :25:14.for new ways to try and influence what we buy and Ben's getting

:25:15. > :25:25.a glimpse of how this might change Good morning. Welcome to what is the

:25:26. > :25:29.home of the future. It might just looked like any ordinary home but

:25:30. > :25:33.I'm having a great time this morning because I get to do all sorts of

:25:34. > :25:40.cool stuff like this, turn on kitchen lights... Magic. They turn

:25:41. > :25:44.on, they are voice actor and. Let me give you a sense of how these things

:25:45. > :25:47.change what we do in the future. It looks like an ordinary kitchen but

:25:48. > :25:51.the fridge knows what you have ordered online because you have

:25:52. > :25:55.ordered it online and it is in there. Cameras in future will be

:25:56. > :25:59.able to tell if the stuff you have in the fridge is going off and you

:26:00. > :26:03.need to use it. Using the Internet it will be able to suggest recipes

:26:04. > :26:07.you might want to cook with the food about to go off. If you're like me

:26:08. > :26:11.and you aren't very good at cooking, it will tell the other and when to

:26:12. > :26:15.switch on, how hot, and you can even control that by sound, you can speak

:26:16. > :26:21.to your other as well. In the house of the future you don't just use any

:26:22. > :26:26.old way of making coffee, you do it on an iPad or a tablet. This

:26:27. > :26:30.controls the coffee maker. Decided I want a cappuccino and I want it to

:26:31. > :26:35.be strong and let's see how that gets on. While that is making my

:26:36. > :26:38.coffee this morning, it's worth remembering that brands want to get

:26:39. > :26:42.involved in this because as advertising and the market gets

:26:43. > :26:47.crowded, fewer and fewer of us are paying attention to the adverts,

:26:48. > :26:51.perhaps on TV or newspapers or online, and this could be one way

:26:52. > :26:56.they get to control what we do. Let's keep an eye on how my coffee's

:26:57. > :26:59.getting on this morning. Well, yeah, it's a good start to the day, the

:27:00. > :27:05.coffee's working. But before that,

:27:06. > :30:26.going to be a bit cloudy but now we I'm back with the latest

:30:27. > :30:32.from the BBC London newsroom This is Breakfast with

:30:33. > :30:40.Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt. We'll bring you all the latest news

:30:41. > :30:43.and sport in a moment. With major engineering works planned

:30:44. > :30:47.for several railway lines this Bank Holiday weekend,

:30:48. > :30:51.we'll get the latest from Network Rail

:30:52. > :30:57.about the disruption. Five years on from the hugely

:30:58. > :30:59.successful London 2012 Paralympics, we'll ask if there has been any long

:31:42. > :31:44.to expect longer journeys with more traffic predicted over

:31:45. > :31:52.the course of the weekend. Travelling by train this

:31:53. > :31:55.Bank Holiday weekend will be difficult for many, and some

:31:56. > :31:59.journeys will be impossible. Engineering work is taking place

:32:00. > :32:08.at five of London's main stations: Waterloo, London Bridge,

:32:09. > :32:10.Liverpool Street, and Paddington, Euston will be close completely

:32:11. > :32:15.on Saturday and Sunday, and the work on HS2 means no trains

:34:41. > :34:43.to The British Chambers of Commerce. The companies say the increases

:34:44. > :34:46.are because of changes to employment legislation

:34:49. > :34:50.like the apprenticeship levy, pensions auto-enrolment,

:34:51. > :35:10.and the new higher minimum wage. This is the question of the morning.

:35:11. > :35:12.If you get it right, I don't even know...

:35:13. > :35:18.How do you find out the length a lion? You don't!

:35:19. > :35:21.You use a bag of meat suspended from a tree.

:35:22. > :35:31.These are penguins... Gosh, they are all being measured. Here's a lion.

:35:32. > :35:33.This is one being measured at London Zoo as part

:35:34. > :35:37.The sizes and weights of the creatures are recorded

:36:01. > :36:07.quite a big task of measuring. Given the choice to measure a line,

:36:08. > :36:20.gorilla, or a penguin, what do you choose? -- lion. OK, just the first

:36:21. > :36:25.two then. Gorilla. Lions are too fierce! What amazes me is your

:36:26. > :36:37.amazement at easing the gorilla over a lion. I would rather measure a

:36:38. > :36:46.lion. Gorillas are terrifying. You have talked me around. You are both

:36:47. > :36:48.correct, I think. We won't dwell on it.

:36:49. > :36:51.In the final track race of his career, Mo Farah emerged

:36:52. > :36:54.victorious in the Men's 5,000 metre event in Zurich.

:36:55. > :37:11.He finished with a win! Brilliant. He is such a proud man. You forget

:37:12. > :37:20.sometimes... Are you going to show the win? Yeah. Fully deserved. Have

:37:21. > :37:27.a look at this. Exceptionally close. Just managing to hang on. He beat

:37:28. > :37:29.the man who beat him at the World Championships earlier this month.

:37:30. > :37:32.It may well go down as one of Farah's most tense races.

:37:33. > :37:36.The four time olympic champion just managed to hang on at the line,

:37:37. > :37:39.ahead of the man that beat him in the same final

:37:40. > :37:42.at the London World Championships earlier this month, Muktar Edris.

:37:43. > :37:44.Farah will now move onto road racing.

:37:45. > :37:50.It is amazing to win. I have enjoyed my career. It has been a long

:37:51. > :37:54.journey. I will miss the track and the people. It is time to start a

:37:55. > :37:56.new chapter in my life, going on to the road to see what I can do.

:37:57. > :37:59.CJ Ujah claimed the best win of his young career beating

:38:34. > :38:36.Also in the group is Borussia Dortmund and Apoel Nicosia,

:39:07. > :39:08.Manchester City too will be happy with their draw,

:39:19. > :39:20.Striker Eniola Aluko made the claims against Sampson,

:39:24. > :39:27.Sampson and the FA deny the allegations and Southgate has

:39:28. > :39:36.praised the character of his fellow coach.

:39:37. > :39:46.My feeling is that the culture is very good here. So I cannot talk

:39:47. > :39:52.about the specific meetings, age groups, I have got involved with,

:39:53. > :39:57.but I sense that we are heading in a good direction at Saint Georges

:39:58. > :40:02.Parkhead. The summer was a good example of that.

:40:03. > :40:04.Now, a legitimate contest or a farce?

:40:05. > :40:07.Well, the Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor fight this

:40:08. > :40:09.weekend is splitting opinion and there's no denying it's

:40:18. > :40:20.and he's hoping there's a victory for McGregor.

:40:21. > :40:31.I am a little bit disappointed in how boxing has gone a little bit

:40:32. > :40:43.lately. It wasn't so long ago when people were complaining they were

:40:44. > :40:47.too many belts and weight divisions in boxing now. I don't blame Connor

:40:48. > :40:48.or Floyd, but it shows you how boxing has gone these days, doesn't

:40:49. > :40:49.it? England can seal the series

:40:50. > :40:52.against West Indies with victory in the Second Test which starts

:40:53. > :40:55.later at Headingley. The last Test finished inside three

:40:56. > :40:58.days and England are big favourites It's one of two Tests to take place

:40:59. > :41:03.before this winter's Ashes and will see Joe Root lead England

:41:04. > :41:11.out at his home ground. I am lost for words it is a bit. I

:41:12. > :41:14.can't describe it. It is a great opportunity to do it here at

:41:15. > :41:18.Headingley. I have played a lot of cricket here. To become captain here

:41:19. > :41:23.is very exciting and a very proud day for me. That is the stuff of

:41:24. > :41:33.dreams. The West Indies, not the team they once were. A huge win for

:41:34. > :41:35.England last time. You anticipate it again. You never know, he could have

:41:36. > :41:46.a dream entrance. We are talking about GSCE results.

:41:47. > :41:51.Amazing stories in among those results. This is the sister of one

:41:52. > :41:55.of the Manchester bombing victims. Amongst those receiving their GCSE

:41:56. > :41:58.results yesterday was 16-year-old, The teenager lived on the 13th

:41:59. > :42:01.floor of Grenfell Tower, and just hours after escaping

:42:02. > :42:04.from the fire, she went to school and sat her chemistry exam dressed

:42:05. > :42:23.in the same clothes that she'd fled She was revising for physics while

:42:24. > :42:31.he was missing. Respect for doing that in those circumstances. Her

:42:32. > :42:42.mother spoke to us on Breakfast and told us how proud she is.

:42:43. > :42:45.The teenager lived on the 13th floor of Grenfell Tower,

:42:46. > :42:48.and just hours after escaping from the fire, she went to school

:42:49. > :42:52.and sat her chemistry exam dressed in the same clothes that she'd fled

:42:53. > :43:01.Our correspondent, Adina Campell, reports.

:43:02. > :43:08.The gloomy grey shell of what is left of Grenfell Tower has been home

:43:09. > :43:15.to Ines Alves for the past 16 years. But today, she is celebrating her

:43:16. > :43:20.GSCE results. How was it opening that envelope after what you have

:43:21. > :43:26.gone through? Mixed emotions. I was disappointed in some subjects that

:43:27. > :43:32.mostly glad and excited. She and her family had a lucky escape. But just

:43:33. > :43:41.hours later, Ines Alves decided to sit her chemistry exam. I got an A

:43:42. > :43:47.in that exam. Idea that the morning of the fire. How much of the fire

:43:48. > :43:51.did you see? My father burst into the room and told me to get changed.

:43:52. > :43:57.He said there was a fire in the building. We left immediately and

:43:58. > :44:02.went downstairs. At first I was kind of annoyed because it was such a

:44:03. > :44:06.small fire. But then we realised how big it was getting when it started

:44:07. > :44:13.to reach six floors above it and kept on going up and up and then

:44:14. > :44:17.there was no turning back. Since the disaster, her family have been

:44:18. > :44:22.living in a hotel, and are still waiting to be permanently rehoused.

:44:23. > :44:28.After everything you had seen and heard in that fire, you were at

:44:29. > :44:32.school the next morning taking an exam. Many people are going to be

:44:33. > :44:38.wondering why you had the courage to go. I had been revising the night

:44:39. > :44:45.before. That was on the top of my mind. When I woke up, my father

:44:46. > :44:49.barged into the room. My chemistry notes were right next to me. They

:44:50. > :44:53.were the first thing I grabbed. While I thought they would want to

:44:54. > :45:04.put the fire out, I was like, why not waste this time and revised

:45:05. > :45:10.instead. I did not think about it. It was a good exam. After her

:45:11. > :45:15.success today, Ines Alves now plans to carry on studying, and says

:45:16. > :45:19.nothing will hold her back. Today, of course, is a day to celebrate.

:45:20. > :45:22.You have done so well with everything you have gone through.

:45:23. > :45:28.Are you positive about the future? Yeah. I feel like if I could get

:45:29. > :45:29.through this, I can get through anything, really.

:45:30. > :45:42.A fantastic young woman. Ines Alves talking to us.

:45:43. > :45:46.We're blessed this morning by seeing the seaside.

:45:47. > :45:55.Look at that rather glorious image with Matt as the sun comes up. Isn't

:45:56. > :46:00.that stunning. Good morning, Matt. Good morning. What a glorious

:46:01. > :46:07.morning in Whitby. It is a stunning town on the Yorkshire coast. First

:46:08. > :46:13.signs of it being settled in 656. Built upon the River Esk. It's an

:46:14. > :46:17.important ancient port and fishing village and on the headlamp we have

:46:23. > :46:28.behind Bram Stoker's Dracula. -- headlamp. We will have more from

:46:29. > :46:31.here this morning and from the BBC Breakfast deckchair. We've been

:46:32. > :46:35.travelling up and down the country finding out what you love about the

:46:36. > :46:40.seaside and certainly today who couldn't love this? Dry and sunny at

:46:41. > :46:43.the moment, a bit cool but what about the rest of the country for

:46:44. > :46:47.today and the rest of the bank holiday weekend? Today most places

:46:48. > :46:50.will see at least some sunshine, much of England and Wales will stay

:46:51. > :46:54.dry but in Scotland and Northern Ireland it's a different story. A

:46:55. > :46:58.bit of rain, heavy at times, and that rain is already developing in

:46:59. > :47:02.western Scotland at the moment. Showers will creep to eastern

:47:03. > :47:07.Scotland during the day and they could become heavy. In England and

:47:08. > :47:11.Wales, much cloud in northern England, like Whitby at the moment,

:47:12. > :47:16.but further south, clearer skies overnight and that's led to a chilly

:47:17. > :47:20.start, single figures this morning. Some mist and fog patches around but

:47:21. > :47:24.they will clear now the sun is up. Winds are like as well so it will

:47:25. > :47:29.warm up quickly with the strong sunshine overhead -- light. Same in

:47:30. > :47:33.much of Wales but in the north Wales they'll be a bit more cloud

:47:34. > :47:37.certainly later in the day and in Northern Ireland, a different story

:47:38. > :47:41.altogether with a bit of rain. -- there will be. Some flooding this

:47:42. > :47:46.week and more heavy rain coming today. This has been one of the

:47:47. > :47:50.wettest spots, along with the west of Scotland. There will be drier

:47:51. > :47:54.moments but lengthy bursts of rain in Scotland. We could have some

:47:55. > :47:58.thunder as well. Some showers into northern England later but much of

:47:59. > :48:02.England and Wales will stay dry, the sunniest in the south were

:48:03. > :48:06.temperatures will get to 2425 with temperatures in the mid-to-high

:48:07. > :48:10.teens in the northern half of the UK -- 24 or 25. Rain for a time in

:48:11. > :48:13.Scotland and all the Nile at the right. Showers continuing in eastern

:48:14. > :48:23.Scotland through the night and into the morning -- and Northern Ireland

:48:24. > :48:27.tonight. Temperatures not as low tonight, given a bit more cloud and

:48:28. > :48:33.breeze. On the bank holiday weekend there will be a lot of dry and sunny

:48:34. > :48:37.weather. Not clear blue skies on Saturday by any means but sunshine

:48:38. > :48:40.breaking through the cloud here and there, a few more showers in England

:48:41. > :48:45.and Wales, most places avoiding them. Still heavy showers in eastern

:48:46. > :48:48.Scotland but western Scotland and Northern Ireland will improve

:48:49. > :48:52.compared to today and a touch warmer, further south temperatures

:48:53. > :48:56.reaching their midtwenties. Sunday largely dry, variable cloud with

:48:57. > :49:00.sunny spells. Rain into the north-west Highlands later on but

:49:01. > :49:04.most will have a fine day on Sunday. Warm in the sunshine again and in

:49:05. > :49:08.the south it could be warmer still as we go into bank or the day Monday

:49:09. > :49:12.with temperatures around 27 or 28. Much of England and Wales will stay

:49:13. > :49:18.dry with sunny spells, Scotland and Northern Ireland will stay fine rain

:49:19. > :49:22.and stronger winds will push in later. That's how your bank holiday

:49:23. > :49:25.weekend is looking. Fine for many of us. One of the reasons we are in

:49:26. > :49:30.Whitby this morning, you can probably hear, just building up

:49:31. > :49:35.behind me, the lovely sound of the Sheffield Maurice Men. It's the last

:49:36. > :49:40.day of the festival today. They have been performing all week. If you are

:49:41. > :49:45.in the Whitby area then come down and see them and the other 600 acts

:49:46. > :49:49.performing at the festival. Come and see them and I'm sure before the

:49:50. > :49:54.programme is out Charlie will have me taking part. Absolutely, that is

:49:55. > :50:00.exactly what we would like to see, Matt. We have that beautiful aerial

:50:01. > :50:06.view of Whitby. Lots coming up. More beautiful sites from Whitby and Matt

:50:07. > :50:09.Morris dancing. I would be happy if he just walks down the middle while

:50:10. > :50:12.they are doing the stick thing. I want to see him with the stick!

:50:13. > :50:15.Big brands influence what we buy through clever advertising

:50:16. > :50:19.But in an increasingly crowded world how are they going

:50:20. > :50:21.to connect with consumers in the future?

:50:22. > :50:28.Ben's in a house that might have the answer.

:50:29. > :50:35.You look like you're in one of those murder mystery things and you're

:50:36. > :50:43.about to go through a tiny little door. Yeah, all sorts of wonders lie

:50:44. > :50:47.beyond the store. We are with a company that has set up this thing

:50:48. > :50:52.and it might not look like much from the outside and inside it is a fully

:50:53. > :50:59.fledged house and they have packed it through with the latest tech,

:51:00. > :51:03.some stuff from the high street and other stuff that is brand-new, and

:51:04. > :51:08.they have decided to find out what it means for brands. Signing is a

:51:09. > :51:13.futurist. Thanks for letting us in. Looking around it looks like a

:51:14. > :51:17.normal house but it is jampacked with technology. Why do you have

:51:18. > :51:22.this? It is. The connected home where all these devices are

:51:23. > :51:25.connected to a main line will be the next most powerful advertising

:51:26. > :51:29.canvas we have ever seen and we have built this so we can study how

:51:30. > :51:34.brands can communicate messages in the home in the right way. When you

:51:35. > :51:38.say AI, artificial intelligence, it learns our behaviour and does things

:51:39. > :51:43.for us. Earlier you turned on the lights and the music came on and the

:51:44. > :51:46.TV came on because you came home and it knew but there are practical

:51:47. > :51:51.applications for this as well? Absolutely, your AI can control the

:51:52. > :51:57.home, lights and other things, but using Spotify, it suggests songs

:51:58. > :52:01.based on our listening, it can suggest new music and it can suggest

:52:02. > :52:06.new recipes. We will be able to stop cooking the same stuff and do new

:52:07. > :52:11.recipes like we discover new bands. We saw the kitchen earlier, this is

:52:12. > :52:15.the lounge with all the technology. Looking at the bathroom and looking

:52:16. > :52:18.at the mirror, that gives us a sense of how long we have been brushing

:52:19. > :52:22.our teeth. What else does it show? The mirror is almost like an

:52:23. > :52:29.assistant, saying you had better leave early because there's traffic

:52:30. > :52:32.on the M1 or whatever and it will be hands-free so you can look at

:52:33. > :52:36.tutorial videos, do your make up, you won't be juggling your phone and

:52:37. > :52:39.your make up any more. Take selfies and send them to your friends and

:52:40. > :52:43.all that kind of stuff. Simon, thanks, we will catch up later. In

:52:44. > :52:47.the bedroom there are all sorts of devices to help you sleep. As we

:52:48. > :52:51.said at the start it is all about brands, brands want to get in on

:52:52. > :52:59.this game because it makes it easier to sell stuff to us when we might be

:53:00. > :53:03.a bit blase about the adverts we ignore. Natalie, nice to see you. We

:53:04. > :53:07.are looking around here and this mirror will tell us what time it is

:53:08. > :53:10.and what the weather is doing and what we should wear for the day but

:53:11. > :53:13.there are big applications for businesses here as well? Absolutely.

:53:14. > :53:18.Technology is changing the way we shop and we have to ask ourselves,

:53:19. > :53:22.what is shopping? Shopping used to be going to a physical store and

:53:23. > :53:25.looking at products on the shelf and paying and going home whereas today

:53:26. > :53:30.you can be in your kitchen pressing a button on your fridge or asking

:53:31. > :53:35.the computer to add it to your shopping list and that is shopping

:53:36. > :53:38.as well. The creation of these new touch points is creating a new level

:53:39. > :53:44.of convenience and complexity for retailers. Do those retailers know

:53:45. > :53:47.how to play that game? We are looking at the clothes in here, it

:53:48. > :53:51.will know I bought a white shirt last week and for example it will

:53:52. > :53:56.suggest a pair of trousers to go with it. Is it intrusive or clever

:53:57. > :54:01.marketing? There's a fine line between this technology being

:54:02. > :54:05.helpful and creepy. It is the same in-store, retailers are using facial

:54:06. > :54:09.recognition technology so store employees can identify the shopper

:54:10. > :54:12.when they walk in the door so that can be helpful in terms of

:54:13. > :54:16.personalising the offer and tailoring the offer. Some shoppers

:54:17. > :54:25.might not want that much tech, though. Natalie, thanks very much.

:54:26. > :54:28.We will be here all morning and I show you around some of these cool

:54:29. > :54:33.inventions later. So much to show you, I will try and fit inasmuch as

:54:34. > :54:36.I can. I just have one little question, can you actually see

:54:37. > :54:43.yourself in the era? Do you have a mirror you can see into without

:54:44. > :54:46.being... Yeah. A normal mirror? Exactly. The one in the bathroom

:54:47. > :54:50.will do lots of things, you can watch breakfast while you are

:54:51. > :54:56.brushing your teeth. Some of the examples here, Internet, it will

:54:57. > :55:00.tell you the time. If you want to get an old-fashioned mirror then it

:55:01. > :55:02.will do that too. It's just a case of turning it off! Back with you

:55:03. > :55:05.later on. A remarkable attempt now to get the

:55:06. > :55:11.two to everyone. At its best, theatre has the power

:55:12. > :55:14.to transport an audience to another The combination of dialogue, music,

:55:15. > :55:18.sets and costumes can be magical. But what can it offer to people

:55:19. > :55:21.who can't see or hear? Our entertainment correspondent

:55:22. > :55:27.Colin Paterson went along Samuel Taylor Coleridge's Kubla Khan

:55:28. > :55:32.adapted into a 15 minute musical show for children who are deaf,

:55:33. > :55:37.blind. But how exactly do you create a production for young people who

:55:38. > :55:48.can't see or hear? If we can't relate to them by those senses, what

:55:49. > :55:52.other senses are there? There is scent, taste, touch, the sense of

:55:53. > :55:57.movement you have, the kinaesthetic sense so we often use movable

:55:58. > :56:02.seating. And the cast of Kubla Khan aim to create a pleasure dome by

:56:03. > :56:07.interacting with the children using water, sand and pebbles. It's just

:56:08. > :56:15.beautiful. I mean, it's just an honour to kind of do it and get to

:56:16. > :56:20.have this communication with these kids really. You almost looked like

:56:21. > :56:27.you're getting emotional? I am. I'm about to do it in 20 minutes and I

:56:28. > :56:33.can't wait, it's going to be great. And music also has a crucial role to

:56:34. > :56:38.play. People don't just hear with their

:56:39. > :56:42.ears, some people say as much as 60% of what you hear you pick up through

:56:43. > :56:47.your body. Other people say it's 40%. The vibrations are the

:56:48. > :56:52.essential part and then how you play with those textures so you can

:56:53. > :56:56.actually feel them, so that you can sort of almost swim through them.

:56:57. > :57:02.Afterwards it was clear what an impact of the show had made both on

:57:03. > :57:06.the children and their parents. What did James particularly like

:57:07. > :57:13.then? I think he liked the moving water. Definitely the moving water.

:57:14. > :57:19.He loves bath time, for instance, so he can relate to that sort of thing.

:57:20. > :57:24.And again, music, loves his music. It's not very often that she enjoys

:57:25. > :57:32.something that she was part of and she was really part of, so it was a

:57:33. > :57:36.lovely time for both of us. There's nothing wrong with crying. Emily has

:57:37. > :57:39.thoroughly enjoyed herself? She really did, she really enjoyed

:57:40. > :57:43.herself. She really did enjoy herself.

:57:44. > :57:49.Tomorrow this groundbreaking production will have its official

:57:50. > :57:50.premiere in Canterbury. Colin Paterson, BBC News.

:57:51. > :57:52.You can see the impact it's happening,

:57:53. > :01:13.Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

:02:58. > :03:05.this morning for the weather. Good morning. I will be here all morning.

:03:06. > :03:08.A glorious start to the day. The sun is up. Lots of sunshine drew this

:03:09. > :03:13.bank holiday weekend, but there is a bit of rain, especially in Northern

:03:14. > :03:15.Ireland and western Scotland. The full details coming up in 15

:03:16. > :03:17.minutes. Major travel disruption is expected

:03:18. > :03:21.over the weekend as millions prepare for the bank holiday getaway

:03:22. > :03:24.amid engineering works on some of the country's

:03:26. > :03:27.passengers to expect delays, as services between London,

:03:28. > :03:30.the north-west and Scotland are cancelled and five of London's

:03:31. > :03:32.biggest stations face disruption. Keith Doyle is at London Euston

:03:33. > :03:45.station, which will close This is going to cause quite a bit

:03:46. > :03:48.of disruption, to say the least. Good morning.

:03:49. > :03:55.Absolutely. Yes, good morning. It's just starting to get easy at Euston

:03:56. > :04:00.station. Today will be very busy ahead of the closures tomorrow and

:04:01. > :04:03.Sunday. That means there will be no west coast services from Scotland,

:04:04. > :04:08.Manchester, Birmingham, in the London and out again. It's not just

:04:09. > :04:12.the station. Another five key stations around London will have

:04:13. > :04:17.disrupted services over the weekend, as will many key routes around the

:04:18. > :04:21.country. This is because of work on major rail projects. 17,000

:04:22. > :04:27.engineering staff will be working on those works over this weekend. Now,

:04:28. > :04:31.Network Rail says this will be good for passengers in the end, but for

:04:32. > :04:32.many passengers travelling this weekend it will be very difficult

:04:33. > :04:33.indeed. Travelling by train this

:04:34. > :04:36.Bank Holiday weekend will be difficult for many, and some

:04:37. > :04:39.journeys will be impossible. Engineering work is taking place

:04:40. > :04:44.at five of London's main stations. Waterloo, London Bridge,

:04:45. > :04:47.Liverpool Street, and Paddington, Euston will be closed completely

:04:48. > :04:56.on Saturday and Sunday, and the work on HS2 means no trains

:05:33. > :05:41.nearly a quarter of a million passengers will use Heathrow today,

:05:42. > :05:44.and over 300,000 will use Gatwick So, whether it's planes,

:05:45. > :05:57.trains or automobiles, Rail operators are saying to check

:05:58. > :06:01.before you go on your journey, or indeed heed advice and don't travel

:06:02. > :06:09.at all. But there are lots of things to travel for this weekend. The

:06:10. > :06:11.Notting Hill Carnival. Numerous Premier League matches, where

:06:12. > :06:15.supporters would be travelling on those routes that are disrupted and

:06:16. > :06:20.there's the Edinburgh Festival as well. Network Rail is saying that

:06:21. > :06:23.this is essential work that will transform journeys in months and

:06:24. > :06:28.years to come and, despite this being a holiday weekend, they say

:06:29. > :06:31.this is the best time to do it throughout the whole year. But many

:06:32. > :06:37.people here this morning say, why does so much work have to be done at

:06:38. > :06:42.the same time? But it's not just the railways, the roads are also going

:06:43. > :06:46.to be incredibly busy today, as our airports, the overall it's not great

:06:47. > :06:48.news on the travel front for this weekend. Thanks very much.

:06:49. > :06:51.Wifi controlled convoys of trucks could be on major British roads

:07:13. > :07:25.as our correspondent Andy Gill reports.

:07:26. > :07:28.They call it "platooning trucks", travelling in Wi-Fi connected

:07:29. > :07:30.convoy, with much less space between them than normal.

:07:31. > :07:32.This Dutch project uses two vehicles.

:07:33. > :07:35.The trial announced here will be with three.

:07:36. > :07:39.It will be more efficient, take up less space on the network

:07:40. > :07:44.and improve efficiency and hopefully pass on the savings to the consumer.

:07:45. > :07:51.Each lorry has a driver, but the lead cab has control.

:07:52. > :07:55.To think about how three trucks can travel down a road in a platoon,

:07:56. > :08:02.imagine that the lead truck is a giant Wi-Fi hub,

:08:03. > :08:05.sending out signals on the precise distances and speeds the other two

:08:06. > :08:10.And the Wi-Fi on the trailing two trucks can react much more quickly

:08:11. > :08:22.The funding announcement was made at a Lancashire truck factory.

:08:23. > :08:26.They say because vehicles in platoon are in each other's slipstream,

:08:27. > :08:29.fuel consumption and pollution falls.

:08:30. > :08:31.But one road using body is sceptical.

:08:32. > :08:34.UK motorways are the most congested in Europe.

:08:35. > :08:43.And if you have a platoon of trucks, it will be difficult to see the road

:08:44. > :08:48.There will be rigourous safety checks before any platoons

:08:49. > :08:52.Then they will compare real delivery journeys made by platoon trucks

:08:53. > :08:55.with ones made in the traditional way.

:09:47. > :09:50.seen the cost of employment rise. The company say the increases are

:10:04. > :10:11.be returning to work. Mavis, a 53-year old mum of two

:10:12. > :10:20.from Massachusettes, beat all the odds to scoop

:10:21. > :10:22.the $758.7 million prize Her chances of winning

:10:23. > :10:30.were just one in 292 million. First thing I want to do,

:10:31. > :10:35.just sit back and relax. I had a pipedream and that's

:10:36. > :10:38.finally come true. I wanted to retire early.

:10:39. > :10:40.It came true. Well, I have called my boss and told

:10:41. > :10:59.them I will not be going back. Not surprising.

:11:00. > :11:01.That's quite reasonable $700 million in the bank.

:11:02. > :11:05.Would you? Go back to work?

:11:06. > :11:12.Of course! Would you not? Of course.

:11:13. > :11:16.We will have the weather a little bit later. Looking beautiful this

:11:17. > :11:19.morning. The sport as well. That is all coming up a little bit later.

:11:20. > :11:21.The immigration debate dominated last year's EU referendum campaign

:11:22. > :11:25.Not just about how many people can come to the country,

:11:26. > :11:28.but also how to integrate them into society when they arrive.

:11:29. > :11:31.A group of MPs is renewing demands for compulsory English lessons

:11:32. > :11:35.for those who are not fluent and wants a loans system to pay

:11:36. > :11:43.The chair of the group and Labour MP Chukka Umunna joins us now

:11:44. > :11:52.Good to see you. Thanks for your time. Good morning. Good to be with

:11:53. > :12:02.you. Let's talk about this. How is this going to be paid for? How are

:12:03. > :12:05.you going to pay for people to learn English, with the idea of

:12:06. > :12:11.integrating them into our society? First of all, the overall argument

:12:12. > :12:15.we are making is integration is absolutely key and the poisonous

:12:16. > :12:19.nature of the debate around immigration is actually hindering

:12:20. > :12:22.integration. It putting off newcomers to our communities from

:12:23. > :12:25.actually getting involved in the life of the communities and that

:12:26. > :12:30.involves better leadership, amongst a host of other things, from

:12:31. > :12:34.politicians. In relation to this specific question, there are two

:12:35. > :12:40.things. First of all the government has to provide other funding.

:12:41. > :12:44.Secondly, you can do that in a way perhaps that doesn't break the bank

:12:45. > :12:49.and is perhaps not as costly as it could be, by introducing a

:12:50. > :12:53.contingent loan, a bit like the student loan system, to help

:12:54. > :12:58.newcomers in our community is help fund their own English language

:12:59. > :13:04.learning. This is a real issue and the latest figures, which are bit

:13:05. > :13:08.dated, but the most recent ones, show that over 800,000 immigrants in

:13:09. > :13:12.a country can't actually speak English properly and that's a huge

:13:13. > :13:16.impediment to them being able to access all of the opportunities and

:13:17. > :13:21.everything that Britain can offer. We've got to be clear on this, that

:13:22. > :13:25.the overwhelming majority of newcomers to our communities want to

:13:26. > :13:32.learn English, but there is often those obstacles, not just costs, but

:13:33. > :13:37.in some communities, Louise Casey identified this in her report, in

:13:38. > :13:40.some communities there are impediment is where people are

:13:41. > :13:44.actively discouraged from learning English. So that's one of the number

:13:45. > :13:49.of recommendations that we make in this report today. Let's talk about

:13:50. > :13:52.this income contingent loan. You say they are similar to student loans.

:13:53. > :13:56.When you look at student loans at the moment there's a problem with

:13:57. > :14:01.the level of payback, and how why you going to guarantee that the

:14:02. > :14:09.taxpayer's money, which you spend as a loan, is going to be returned? In

:14:10. > :14:13.the end if it's a contingent there is no complete guarantee that all of

:14:14. > :14:17.the money will be paid back. As I said at the top, there's no getting

:14:18. > :14:20.away from the fact that the government will have to put money

:14:21. > :14:23.into this. But let's not forget, if you look at the economic benefits

:14:24. > :14:27.immigration has brought to our country, and by the way in this

:14:28. > :14:30.report we don't deny that this has also brought challenges in terms of

:14:31. > :14:34.the pressure put on public services and some areas that have gone to be

:14:35. > :14:40.democratic change in a short period, we don't deny it can impose

:14:41. > :14:43.challenges but it need not be that way. We derive a huge economic and

:14:44. > :14:49.that from actually having immigrants come our country. Not just

:14:50. > :14:54.economically, if you look at public services, the NHS as well. I

:14:55. > :14:57.personally and most members of the all-party parliamentary group on

:14:58. > :15:03.social integration that produced this report, we believe this is a

:15:04. > :15:07.price worth paying given the benefits we get. But there would be

:15:08. > :15:11.a cost. I can't give you a precise number, that would be up to

:15:12. > :15:14.government. Kay, let's talk about the proposal that immigrants are

:15:15. > :15:21.spread across the country into various economic regions. How will

:15:22. > :15:26.that work and what happens if they are employed by a company, by a

:15:27. > :15:29.firm, which needs them to move around the country?

:15:30. > :15:37.This proposal arises looking at the things that they do in Canada and

:15:38. > :15:41.Australia, where they have devolved immigration policy to the provinces

:15:42. > :15:48.and regions in those countries. What they do there is they have employers

:15:49. > :15:53.help with the issue of region specific visas which require a

:15:54. > :15:56.person to work for two or three years in a particular region before

:15:57. > :16:02.they're allowed to move across the rest of the country. What we're

:16:03. > :16:05.trying to do here is actually give localities and regions much more

:16:06. > :16:08.power over the way our immigration system works to increase the

:16:09. > :16:12.confidence in it so people feel they've got more control over what's

:16:13. > :16:17.happening in their communities. We know different parts of the country

:16:18. > :16:21.feel different about this. Look at London, the London Chambers of

:16:22. > :16:25.Commerce has been arguing for this, they want a London visa. If you look

:16:26. > :16:28.in Scotland, the Scottish garden that has been asking for more

:16:29. > :16:34.control over immigration policy. So we said devolved the power, look at

:16:35. > :16:38.the regions and their specific needs and economies and businesses that

:16:39. > :16:42.Scottish government. And then you can determine how many people come

:16:43. > :16:47.to the ridge -- Scottish government. How do you make sure they stay in

:16:48. > :16:58.that region? Of course the employers have to check the status of people

:16:59. > :17:02.they are signing up to work for them -- come to the region. They need

:17:03. > :17:06.your address when you sign up. The model is what they do in Australia

:17:07. > :17:10.and Canada where it works very well and both our countries where they

:17:11. > :17:16.have a much healthier, less toxic debate around immigration, which is

:17:17. > :17:20.just such a problem. You mentioned at the top of your package how often

:17:21. > :17:23.the focus is on the number of immigrants coming here and of course

:17:24. > :17:27.they were the latest immigration stats that came out yesterday but we

:17:28. > :17:34.think too little about what happens when people come to our country and

:17:35. > :17:36.settle here and too often we have immigrants who are not properly

:17:37. > :17:40.integrated into their communities and that is bad for them because it

:17:41. > :17:44.stands in the way of them accessing the opportunities there are and it's

:17:45. > :17:49.bad for the overall community because there's a lack of trust

:17:50. > :17:53.there and when there's a lack of and a vacuum that's when the peddlers of

:17:54. > :17:58.hate and division come in, and unfortunately we saw that too much

:17:59. > :18:01.in the EU referendum and frankly frontline politicians, who should

:18:02. > :18:06.have known better, should have been far more responsible in the way they

:18:07. > :18:08.were discussing these issues. Thanks for your time this morning. Thank

:18:09. > :18:14.you. It's a bank holiday weekend this

:18:15. > :18:18.weekend. We know there are problems on the trains, if you're travelling

:18:19. > :18:23.across the weekend, but when you get there maybe you will see a site like

:18:24. > :18:30.this. This is Whitby this morning. A bit of cloud in the sky. Matt has a

:18:31. > :18:34.forecast for anyone out and about over the weekend. Good morning,

:18:35. > :18:38.Matt. Good morning, Charlie. We are in Whitby this morning, what a

:18:39. > :18:47.glorious view. Beautiful seaside town on the North Yorkshire coast.

:18:48. > :18:52.On the banks of the River Esk. Here is where shipping and fishing became

:18:53. > :18:56.a big thing. Beautiful sight behind me, lovely start to the day, and

:18:57. > :19:01.also now it's the home of the BBC Breakfast big deckchair. A huge

:19:02. > :19:07.beast, even I struggled to get up on that. The reason that's here is to

:19:08. > :19:12.give you a preview to see what's coming up. We're doing a series on

:19:13. > :19:16.coastal Britain to see what you love about the coast and seaside. The

:19:17. > :19:19.deckchair has been travelling up and down the country to find out what

:19:20. > :19:24.you enjoy and how you feel about your issues with the seaside. We

:19:25. > :19:28.will give you a few more previews of what's been going on later in the

:19:29. > :19:34.programme. At the moment it is bathed in sunshine. A mixed reaction

:19:35. > :19:38.to the British seaside, particularly this summer, but the bank holiday

:19:39. > :19:42.weekend forecast is actually looking reasonable. A bit of rain today,

:19:43. > :19:46.many will see the sun, the wettest weather probably today in parts of

:19:47. > :19:51.Northern Ireland and Scotland. Heavy bursts and lengthy bursts

:19:52. > :19:56.developing. Much of eastern Scotland dry at the moment but we could see

:19:57. > :19:59.thunderstorms later and Northern England dry, like Whitby, variable

:20:00. > :20:03.cloud with sunshine coming through and a small breeze. The breeze

:20:04. > :20:07.lighter the further south we go and that's why we have mist and fog

:20:08. > :20:12.patches now clearing with the sun being up, temperatures down in

:20:13. > :20:17.single figures overnight. But with the sunshine overhead we will get

:20:18. > :20:21.strong sunshine for much of the day. Further north into north Wales, we

:20:22. > :20:24.will see more cloud and Northern Ireland, this is where we will have

:20:25. > :20:29.some of the wettest conditions. We don't need the rain at the moment,

:20:30. > :20:32.it's been a thoroughly wet week. The risk of minor flooding later as the

:20:33. > :20:37.rain continues. I'm optimistic there will be drier moments but lengthier

:20:38. > :20:42.bursts of heavy rain to come, the same in western Scotland. Showers in

:20:43. > :20:45.eastern Scotland and in northern England, starting dry but one or two

:20:46. > :20:50.showers. The further south you are, dry with sunshine and temperatures

:20:51. > :20:54.in the midtwenties. Into the night and the showers will continue in the

:20:55. > :20:58.northern half with one or two developing further south in England.

:20:59. > :21:03.The odd heavy one to the east but most places will be dry with a bit

:21:04. > :21:06.more of a breeze, more cloud, not as chilly as last night but some mist

:21:07. > :21:10.and fog patches could form in the southern half of the country in

:21:11. > :21:15.particular. Into the bank holiday weekend and there will be a lot of

:21:16. > :21:18.dry weather around. A few showers on Saturday in mainly eastern Scotland

:21:19. > :21:23.and northern England, the Midlands and eastern England but not too

:21:24. > :21:26.many. Most will avoid them and staying dry. Pleasant in the

:21:27. > :21:30.sunshine, temperatures in the midtwenties in the south and a

:21:31. > :21:33.better day for western Scotland and Northern Ireland tomorrow compare

:21:34. > :21:39.the two today so feeling warmer here. Largely dry again Sunday. --

:21:40. > :21:44.compare the two today. The sunshine will break through every now and

:21:45. > :21:49.again -- compared to today. Staying dry and sunny. A few spots of rain

:21:50. > :21:54.to the far north-west of Scotland. Warmer in the south of the country.

:21:55. > :21:59.Warmer still as we head into bank holiday Monday. Some in southern

:22:00. > :22:02.parts of England could hit 27 or 28. England and Wales dry with sunny

:22:03. > :22:06.spells through the day, bright enough start for Scotland and

:22:07. > :22:09.Northern Ireland but turning wetter and windier from the north-west and

:22:10. > :22:16.some of that rain could reach north-west England by Monday 's end.

:22:17. > :22:22.But considering the summer we have had so far it gets a big thumbs up

:22:23. > :22:26.from me. Thanks, Matt, and thank you for that gorgeous view of Whitby. We

:22:27. > :22:32.will make the most of that through the morning and pop in and out.

:22:33. > :22:35.It's one of the busiest motorway junctions in the country with more

:22:36. > :22:40.But plans to improve the M25 at Junction 10 at Wisley

:22:55. > :23:01.It's a beautiful day, Tim, isn't it crazy but there's a real issue, a

:23:02. > :23:07.beautiful place next to a very big road. -- isn't it? Good morning. A

:23:08. > :23:12.row is taking root in these historic gardens it's fair to say. The Royal

:23:13. > :23:17.Royal Horticultural Society in Wisley in Surrey. -- Royal

:23:18. > :23:21.Horticultural Society. Look at these trees, they are at the centre of

:23:22. > :23:28.this row at the moment. As you say, proposals are being considered to

:23:29. > :23:32.expand the A3 and M25, you might be able to hear the traffic behind me

:23:33. > :23:36.as we speak because we are right next to that main roads. Before we

:23:37. > :23:39.carry on, here's a little explain as to the geography of where we are and

:23:40. > :23:40.what this argument all about. It's been considered a centre

:23:41. > :23:43.of horticultural excellence for more than a century, but Wisley lies

:23:44. > :23:46.close to where the M25 meets the A3. At peak times it's use

:23:47. > :23:54.by 7,000 vehicles an hour. According to Highways England it has

:23:55. > :23:57.one of the highest collision rates The Royal Horticultural Society

:23:58. > :24:03.fears one plan being considered would see the A3 widened

:24:04. > :24:05.with the loss of 2.5 acres 500 trees would be cut down,

:24:06. > :24:10.a prospect that has angered some. One of several down

:24:11. > :24:30.this great strip. This, along with rhododendrons,

:24:31. > :24:32.magnolias, camellias, The RHS wants Highways England

:24:33. > :24:35.to choose another option, one that would have less impact

:24:36. > :24:50.on these historic gardens. Matthew Paul TGE is a curator for

:24:51. > :24:57.RHS Wisley. How worried are you that these trees will go? -- Pottage. A

:24:58. > :25:01.real worry. They are significant to the landscape and the garden,

:25:02. > :25:03.they've been here for hundreds of years and they will go on for

:25:04. > :25:08.hundreds more for future generations. It's under

:25:09. > :25:11.consideration at the moment so it won't definitely happen, roads need

:25:12. > :25:15.to be expanded, you can hear the traffic here where we are now,

:25:16. > :25:19.something has to happen? We are supportive of the road, it needs to

:25:20. > :25:23.be improved, it isn't perfect and we're not saying that but we want

:25:24. > :25:28.assurances on their fact there is another option which involves

:25:29. > :25:32.widening the A3 which doesn't involve a land grab from Wisley

:25:33. > :25:35.Gardens and that's what's so important for us. Do you think it

:25:36. > :25:41.would be spoiled, would it not be what it was? Indeed. We are talking

:25:42. > :25:44.about a large bag of trees but all the garden beyond that would be

:25:45. > :25:49.spoiled and ruined and you can't have a tranquil garden space with a

:25:50. > :25:52.motorway roaring past -- bank of Greece. It's taken 100 years to

:25:53. > :25:59.build up so stripping this away isn't an option -- bank of trees.

:26:00. > :26:03.You are a moto journalist from the auto express. As far as you're

:26:04. > :26:10.concerned, how important is it that this road is expanded? -- motor. It

:26:11. > :26:13.is important roads and railways and other transport modes are expanded

:26:14. > :26:18.but it is where you expand them and it's the way you do it. I don't

:26:19. > :26:23.think you can just come at this, whether it is Highways England, the

:26:24. > :26:26.government, Department for Transport, Surrey county council, to

:26:27. > :26:29.come and say we are going to plough a road wherever we want.

:26:30. > :26:33.Improvements need to be made but they need to be done in the right

:26:34. > :26:36.way. Isn't it inevitable sometimes that when expansion happens there

:26:37. > :26:41.are negative consequences and more and more people are using the roads,

:26:42. > :26:46.aren't they? People need the roads to get to Wisley Gardens, the staff

:26:47. > :26:51.need to get here, but it needs to be done in an appropriate way. We can't

:26:52. > :26:55.plough through buildings and ancient woodland to improve junctions, for

:26:56. > :26:59.railways, roads or any other mode of transport. Improvements need to be

:27:00. > :27:05.made but made in the right way and I think if you add an opinion poll and

:27:06. > :27:08.ask whether the right way is to knock down hundreds of thousands of

:27:09. > :27:12.trees, the public and anyone else in their right mind would say it's not

:27:13. > :27:17.the way to go -- if you had. Highways England gave us a

:27:18. > :27:20.statement, they said they care about the environment and protecting

:27:21. > :27:24.special habitats around Wisley is a priority as they develop plans for

:27:25. > :27:29.the junction. An announcement is expected in the next few weeks. We

:34:18. > :34:24.This was glorious, John. Mo Farah has brought down the career

:34:25. > :34:31.on -- the curtain on his track career. It has been an incredible

:34:32. > :34:34.career. It has been a long goodbye, starting with the championships.

:34:35. > :34:42.Which we don't mind doing. If anyone deserves a good send off its him. He

:34:43. > :34:46.won his last race on British soil in Birmingham. Now he will concentrate

:34:47. > :34:50.on the road races. It was exceptionally close.

:34:56. > :34:58.The four-time Olympic champion just managed to hang on at the line,

:34:59. > :35:01.ahead of the man that beat him in the same final

:35:05. > :35:07.Farah will now move onto road racing.

:35:08. > :35:17.It's been a long journey, but I've enjoyed it.

:35:18. > :35:20.I will miss the track and the people.

:35:21. > :35:23.But it's time to start a new chapter in my life,

:35:46. > :35:49.was pretty impresssive, only to be outdone by this strike

:36:37. > :36:39.Manchester City too will be happy with their draw,

:37:13. > :37:28.So I can't talk about the specific meetings, age groups,

:37:33. > :37:36.The summer was a good example of that.

:37:58. > :38:05.can say what they want. We are going to fight. It's disrespectful from my

:38:06. > :38:10.opinion and I witnessed it from pundits and analysts all over, as

:38:11. > :38:14.well as the media, so, look, whatever, they'll see two men go at

:38:15. > :38:16.it and risk it all on Saturday night.

:38:36. > :38:36.anniversary match took place yesterday,

:38:37. > :38:38.with former players and celebrities all involved.

:38:39. > :38:41.Radio One's Greg James dropping this catch,

:38:42. > :38:43.perhaps unsurprsingly because he was broadcasting live

:38:44. > :38:50.He made up for it by scoring some runs though

:38:51. > :39:05.He wasn't the only one getting involved, was he?

:39:06. > :39:11.There you are in a huddle. Already prepared, with my cricket shoes. But

:39:12. > :39:14.we didn't find any pictures of you batting.

:39:15. > :39:18.I wonder why that is? The team was very kind to me. I had never held a

:39:19. > :39:32.cricket bat before. I was put outlast to bat and it was A20 format

:39:33. > :39:38.and I was number 12. -- Twenty20. There is no shame in being 12th!

:39:39. > :39:42.I wasn't ashamed. When we got near the and I was looking at the school

:39:43. > :39:47.and we were nearly out of overs, so I thought, well, I will nip over to

:39:48. > :39:52.the wine tent. I was having a chat with one of the commentators and he

:39:53. > :39:57.said, my dear, I think you might be needed. So I walked out and I missed

:39:58. > :40:03.my spot. The moment I was going to go out, they got out, so we were

:40:04. > :40:12.done. Auntie meant to enjoy a drink once

:40:13. > :40:16.you're done? -- aren't you. The way to watch cricket is in a

:40:17. > :40:21.relaxed atmosphere, to enjoy the game and converts between shots. I

:40:22. > :40:26.didn't say I was drinking in the tent!

:40:27. > :40:30.Just doing research... I missed my bit, but I did do a lot of fielding.

:40:31. > :40:34.Great footwear. It was very inappropriate...

:40:35. > :40:39.Big brands are always looking for new ways to try and influence

:40:40. > :40:45.They are trying to do that by getting into our homes.

:40:46. > :40:48.Ben's getting a glimpse of how this might change

:40:49. > :40:57.What have you found so far? We had a coffee machine that you operate from

:40:58. > :41:02.a laptop, your iPad or whatever. What else have you found?

:41:03. > :41:06.We've been looking at all. Stuff this morning. Things that could

:41:07. > :41:09.really make a difference to how we live at home. I've maybe gone a

:41:10. > :41:14.little bit low-tech now because these look like ordinary playing

:41:15. > :41:17.cards. They are cards like kids might use, but they are really high

:41:18. > :41:22.tech. Nothing special to them, but if I pick up the tab key will be

:41:23. > :41:28.able to see that they are special. -- tablet. They come to light. This

:41:29. > :41:34.is clearly a zebra. You can interact with them. There is a monkey. I can

:41:35. > :41:38.put that over here and maybe the zebra wants to come here. You get a

:41:39. > :41:43.real sense of what this can be used for. This looks like a bit of fun,

:41:44. > :41:47.maybe education for kids, I'd imagine if it a cereal packet or a

:41:48. > :41:51.magazine and it adds extra value. For advertising, great news. All of

:41:52. > :41:57.this is the brainchild of Simon. Good morning. You have the amazing

:41:58. > :42:02.title of futurist here. Why have you got this setup? With had a look

:42:03. > :42:09.around. It looks like a normal house, jampacked full of technology.

:42:10. > :42:15.Why? I've always been into future, forward-looking advertising. We see

:42:16. > :42:20.where all of the appliance a two an AI and there will be opportunities

:42:21. > :42:23.and risks for brands to share their stories with consumers in their

:42:24. > :42:33.homes. We want to look at what's happening. Does that mean so you can

:42:34. > :42:38.talk to it and get it to talk back? Yes, and the sale rates are going at

:42:39. > :42:44.the speed of iPhone. There's the opportunity for to advertise at home

:42:45. > :42:48.and we want to look at the right way for brands to communicate with

:42:49. > :42:51.people in their homes and we are studying it by building this

:42:52. > :42:58.experience. Thanks very much. Come with me and I will introduce you to

:42:59. > :43:03.Maisie. Good morning. We heard from Simon about brands using this. They

:43:04. > :43:10.can sell these things and advertise to us. Is it bad news for us? We

:43:11. > :43:16.want to be sold things like that? The way this will affect our brand

:43:17. > :43:20.advertising has probably been ghastly exaggerated in the short

:43:21. > :43:23.term but it will have a huge impact. Traditional advertising still forms

:43:24. > :43:29.the main part of brands' communication. They have got to make

:43:30. > :43:32.sure that the way they use it's a way that people are comfortable

:43:33. > :43:36.with, otherwise it won't work for them. They will have a lot of

:43:37. > :43:40.information as well. They will know when we have run out of things, they

:43:41. > :43:43.will know what in our diary, so therefore what clothes we might

:43:44. > :43:48.need. Some might say that's really intrusive, but it such a huge

:43:49. > :43:52.opportunity for brands, isn't it? It really change how they work. What it

:43:53. > :43:56.won't work for the brands if people find it uncomfortable. They've got

:43:57. > :43:59.to be sure that people understand how they are using their data and

:44:00. > :44:06.are comfortable. You've also got to add value. So if Amazon suggest a

:44:07. > :44:11.song or e-book, that's useful and that's the way it works. If you are

:44:12. > :44:17.just shouting at people to buy a new T-shirt, they won't appreciate that.

:44:18. > :44:20.Thanks very much. Let's talk later. Let's come into the kitchen, in this

:44:21. > :44:26.amazing future house. Good morning, Natalie. We heard about brands being

:44:27. > :44:31.able to use it and that's all too apparent in kitchen, because when we

:44:32. > :44:35.run out of stuff it will get ordered automatically. Absolutely. I think

:44:36. > :44:39.in the future shoppers will spend less time buying the necessities

:44:40. > :44:43.because technology is making a life so convenient and in the future when

:44:44. > :44:46.we run out of things like toilet paper or nappies or cleaning

:44:47. > :44:50.products, it'll just be automatically replenished, which

:44:51. > :44:55.provides shoppers with a huge amount of convenience, but actually it's a

:44:56. > :44:58.huge headache for retailers, high-street retailers, who wonder,

:44:59. > :45:02.if you don't need to go into a store, how do we get shoppers

:45:03. > :45:07.through the doors? The big challenge. Thanks for now. So that's

:45:08. > :45:11.a taste of what this place does and how it might represent how we shop

:45:12. > :45:14.and do things in the future. But you will notice that maybe we've done

:45:15. > :45:19.away with supermarkets altogether because this is the indoor farm

:45:20. > :45:23.growing some edible stuff, some of it not, but nonetheless a glimpse of

:45:24. > :45:36.perhaps how we might be living over the next 5- 15, 20 years.

:45:37. > :45:41.Herbs grown under item pilot light? -- ultraviolet light.

:45:42. > :45:45.Yes, but some of them are not in soil. It's like hydroponics. They

:45:46. > :45:51.sit in water that is full of nutrients and those nutrients can be

:45:52. > :45:55.replenished and the plants keep on growing. So it does away with some

:45:56. > :45:59.of the mess and waste of soil. Thanks.

:46:00. > :46:04.This morning is all about people getting involved with things. Matt

:46:05. > :46:08.is going to get involved with something now I think. He's at the

:46:09. > :46:13.seaside in Whitby telling us about the weather for the weekend. Bank

:46:14. > :46:18.holiday for many people, not in Scotland, but looks lovely there?

:46:19. > :46:22.Certainly is. Very nice morning in Whitby, glorious scenes as you can

:46:23. > :46:27.see. Dry start, bit of cloud but we are in Whitby all morning, part of

:46:28. > :46:31.the lead up to the bank holiday weekend and also to give you a quick

:46:32. > :46:37.heads up on what's coming your way On Breakfast in a couple of weeks.

:46:38. > :46:42.Peter already making use of our giant deckchair, it's been

:46:43. > :46:45.travelling around the country recently, people have been telling

:46:46. > :46:47.us what they love about the seaside and the coastline. Let's look at

:46:48. > :48:05.what they have to say. I love those three! Aren't they

:48:06. > :48:09.brilliant? It's part of our Coastline Britons series coming our

:48:10. > :48:14.way on the fourth of September, a few more brief blitzes through the

:48:15. > :48:19.morning -- Britain. If you're heading to the coast you want it

:48:20. > :48:23.try. -- glimpses. Good news, lots of dry weather this weekend -- dry.

:48:24. > :48:30.There is some wet weather to come today, Northern Ireland and Scotland

:48:31. > :48:34.in particular. This morning already showers developing widely across

:48:35. > :48:38.western Scotland in particular, some developing to eastern areas later

:48:39. > :48:42.even with the odd rumble of thunder. Northern England dry with a variable

:48:43. > :48:45.amount of cloud this morning, sunshine breaking through with a bit

:48:46. > :48:49.of a breeze but further south the breeze is very light, leading to

:48:50. > :48:55.single figures overnight, a few missed all fog patches. Clearing

:48:56. > :49:00.with the sunup and that sun will be strong today -- mist and fog

:49:01. > :49:04.patches. -- the sun up. Southern areas seeing the best sunshine this

:49:05. > :49:08.morning and through the day, a bit more cloud at times through in the

:49:09. > :49:11.north and in Northern Ireland we have the wettest weather. Northern

:49:12. > :49:15.Ireland, west of Scotland, heaviest rain through the day, not great

:49:16. > :49:20.news, we have seen minor flooding there this week. Still some drier

:49:21. > :49:24.moments but still some lengthier bursts to come and the odd rumble of

:49:25. > :49:29.thunder in eastern Scotland and in northern England, expect more cloud.

:49:30. > :49:33.One or two will see showers later in the day, maybe from mid afternoon

:49:34. > :49:38.onwards. Further south it stays dry, sunny and warm with temperatures in

:49:39. > :49:41.the mid-20s compared to the mid-to-high teens in Scotland and

:49:42. > :49:45.Northern Ireland. Tonight we will see showers across Northern Ireland

:49:46. > :49:48.quickly clear, they will last into the night in Scotland. Some in

:49:49. > :49:54.northern England and the Midlands too but many will be dry, the

:49:55. > :49:57.lightest winds in the south with mist patches forming. Tonight given

:49:58. > :50:03.a bit more cloud and slightly more breeze for a time, it would be quite

:50:04. > :50:06.as chilly. That takes us into bank holiday weekend, Saturday is looking

:50:07. > :50:10.fine for many with a few more showers around across England

:50:11. > :50:15.compared to what we have seen today but many will avoid them and lots of

:50:16. > :50:17.showers to begin with in western Scotland, gradually easing. Western

:50:18. > :50:21.Scotland and Northern Ireland feeling warmer with a better day and

:50:22. > :50:25.in England and Wales, strong sunshine, feeling pleasant with

:50:26. > :50:29.temperatures in the 20s, especially the further south you are. Sunday

:50:30. > :50:33.looking bright for most, showers limited to the far north-west of

:50:34. > :50:37.Scotland. I'm not going to promise blue skies through the bank holiday

:50:38. > :50:40.weekend, quite a bit of cloud at times and when the sun comes through

:50:41. > :50:45.feeling nice, temperatures in the 20s for some and it could get higher

:50:46. > :50:49.on Monday. On Monday we could see temperatures get to 28 in southern

:50:50. > :50:54.parts. Lots of sunshine to begin with, lasting all day long just

:50:55. > :50:57.about for England and Wales, but wet and windy weather arrives into

:50:58. > :51:01.Scotland and Northern Ireland. All in all it is a bankroll a day

:51:02. > :51:04.weekend forecast that you can't really complain about. I've

:51:05. > :51:12.mentioned peter -- bank holiday weekend. Here is the Whitby Folk

:51:13. > :51:20.Week group, the final day of it, joining me are the Sheffield Morris

:51:21. > :51:25.Men, 600 performers through the week, they've been entertaining me

:51:26. > :51:28.all morning. Before Charlie asks, if you can't beat them... You might as

:51:29. > :51:53.well join them. Can we stay on those pictures? I'm

:51:54. > :52:01.not in time, and my? Please, let's go -- am I? It's not everyday you

:52:02. > :52:04.see Morris dancing like that! This is one of the highlights of this

:52:05. > :52:13.broadcasting career as a meteorologist. He's a natural, isn't

:52:14. > :52:17.he? An absolute natural. Can you go now? We are still on new. Just a

:52:18. > :52:24.little bit longer. Get into the rhythm! -- we are still on new. I

:52:25. > :52:31.want to see him do it with longer sticks -- on you. We have the sport

:52:32. > :52:32.for you later on. Let's deal with a sporting theme, shall we?

:52:33. > :52:38.Five years on from the hugely successful London 2012 Paralympics

:52:39. > :52:40.the disability charity Scope says there has been very little

:52:41. > :52:43.improvement in the way disabled people feel they are treated.

:52:44. > :52:46.The charity says despite the success of the games themselves,

:52:47. > :52:48.a quarter of disabled people feel they didn't deliver

:52:49. > :52:52.Let's discuss this with James Taylor from Scope and blogger Chloe Tear.

:52:53. > :53:01.Good morning. Chloe, tell us about your experience. What have you seen,

:53:02. > :53:07.what changes or what have you not seen happening that you want to

:53:08. > :53:13.happen? I think the blogging community is obviously helping in

:53:14. > :53:21.certain lights. I think my blog has been read more than by the general

:53:22. > :53:28.public since the Olympics -- more by. What is it about? It is about

:53:29. > :53:34.cerebral palsy. My experiences with it and anything I go through I will

:53:35. > :53:39.write about it. I think more people may be interested in the topic, so I

:53:40. > :53:43.think over time obviously we're going to get the awareness and the

:53:44. > :53:47.understanding but I don't think we're quite there yet. James, what

:53:48. > :53:52.do you think would have been done more? Scope has done is research

:53:53. > :53:57.into this. Our research out today shows around a third of the sable

:53:58. > :54:01.people say despite the huge success of the Paralympics and Paralympic

:54:02. > :54:04.GB, that hasn't translated quite into positive attitude change over

:54:05. > :54:08.the past five years so as Chloe says, there's more to do to

:54:09. > :54:11.challenge attitudes towards disability and disabled people. What

:54:12. > :54:15.are the attitudes you are most concerned about changing? Were

:54:16. > :54:20.concerned about lots of things, that is discrimination in the workplace

:54:21. > :54:23.or bullying in schools and discrimination to disabled people

:54:24. > :54:28.still happens to frequently today and we need to see more visibility

:54:29. > :54:35.of disability, not just the two weeks where the Paralympics run

:54:36. > :54:39.every four years but all the time. Chloe, do people separate things

:54:40. > :54:42.out, they look at the Paralympics and they see the sporting

:54:43. > :54:47.achievements and the individuals many now know and they separate that

:54:48. > :54:52.out from the people they see on a day-to-day basis and the problems

:54:53. > :54:57.people have? Definitely. I think it will allow us to gain more

:54:58. > :55:01.understanding and by showing the Paralympics they can see we are able

:55:02. > :55:06.to achieve things, which is important. But then there's the

:55:07. > :55:13.danger that you're going to be separating them and, you know,

:55:14. > :55:18.people might say that people with disabilities are inspirational if

:55:32. > :55:36.Paralympics, like you say, great access and inspirational -- where

:55:37. > :55:39.should that be seen? As you say, people with disabilities lead

:55:54. > :56:00.BBC Breakfast Soper -- soap opera is Sofer -- soap operas. We should be

:56:01. > :56:04.more integrated but not having a elaborate storylines which are all

:56:05. > :56:09.about the disability. So it's not so special? We are just like everyone

:56:10. > :56:14.else. The continuity of messages rather than a moment in time is key.

:56:15. > :56:19.Absolutely and Chloe is right, it's about constant visibility. There are

:56:20. > :56:23.13 million disabled people in Britain but many people say they've

:56:24. > :56:26.never interacted with a disabled person and when many disabled people

:56:27. > :56:31.push hard to get jobs but they are still seen as risky hires, we need

:56:32. > :56:36.to do more in the media and the workplace to ensure disabled people

:56:37. > :56:38.get access. Thanks for your time this morning.

:56:39. > :00:03.Now, though, it's back to Naga and Charlie.

:01:45. > :01:50.Good morning. I'm here in Whitby all morning with the BBC breakfast

:01:51. > :01:54.deckchair ahead of bank holding weekend, and it's a weekend that

:01:55. > :01:59.contains unbelievably quite a lot of dry weather. But today we have some

:02:00. > :02:01.rain, especially for parts of Northern Ireland and western

:02:02. > :02:05.Scotland. Full details of that in the forecast in 15 minutes.

:02:06. > :02:10.Major travel disruption is expected over the weekend as millions prepare

:02:28. > :02:29.for the weekend. station, which will close

:02:30. > :02:38.for two days tomorrow. Busy and bustling now. Are people

:02:39. > :02:41.trying to get away today instead of over the weekend?

:02:42. > :02:46.Good morning from Euston station where it will be an incredibly busy

:02:47. > :02:54.day today ahead of the complete shutdown tomorrow and Sunday. There

:02:55. > :02:58.will also be disruption right across the networks. No West Coast service

:02:59. > :03:03.from Scotland, Manchester, Birmingham into London and out

:03:04. > :03:06.again. Other key stations in London facing disruption because of

:03:07. > :03:11.engineering work and some major routes around the country. Network

:03:12. > :03:15.Rail says this is because of significant work on major rail

:03:16. > :03:19.projects. They say 17,000 rail engineers will be working on the

:03:20. > :03:25.network this weekend. They say in the end it would be good for

:03:26. > :03:26.passengers but in the meantime passengers travelling this weekend,

:03:27. > :03:30.many of them will find it difficult. Travelling by train this

:03:31. > :03:31.bank holiday weekend will be difficult for many,

:03:32. > :03:33.and some journeys Engineering work is taking place

:03:34. > :03:37.at five of London's main stations. Waterloo, London Bridge,

:03:38. > :03:41.Liverpool Street and Paddington Euston will be closed completely

:03:42. > :03:48.on Saturday and Sunday. Work on HS2 means there will be no

:03:49. > :03:52.trains from Scotland and the North of England to London

:03:53. > :03:55.on the West Coast Main Line Services from the Midlands will only

:03:56. > :04:02.run as far south as Northampton. Great Western services out

:04:03. > :04:05.of Paddington to Wales will be disrupted until next month with no

:04:06. > :04:07.services between Newport King's Cross station in London

:04:08. > :04:13.is expected to be very busy. Road traffic is expected to be 20%

:04:14. > :04:21.greater compared to last year's 5 million people are predicted to

:04:22. > :04:27.take to the roads on Monday alone. Travel trade organisation Abta says

:04:28. > :04:31.nearly a quarter of a million passengers will use Heathrow today,

:04:32. > :04:34.and over 300,000 will use So whether it's planes,

:04:35. > :04:51.trains or automobiles, The advice is to check before you

:04:52. > :04:56.leave for your journey, or take the advice of the rail companies who are

:04:57. > :04:58.saying don't travel unless it's absolutely essential. But there are

:04:59. > :05:02.lots of things to travel for this weekend and lots of things will be

:05:03. > :05:06.affected. There is the rugby league final at Wembley, the Notting Hill

:05:07. > :05:11.Carnival, many Premier League matches that would normally involve

:05:12. > :05:16.supporters using some of those very busy routes that are now disrupted.

:05:17. > :05:20.And there is the Edinburgh Festival. National rail are saying this is

:05:21. > :05:24.essential work that will transform journeys in months and years to

:05:25. > :05:28.come. They say despite the fact it's a holiday weekend, this is the best

:05:29. > :05:34.time to carry out this important work. Some people you're talking to

:05:35. > :05:38.hear this morning say, why does all the work have to be carried out at

:05:39. > :05:41.exactly the same time? It's not just the railways, with roads and

:05:42. > :05:47.airports also very busy this weekend. Not the best travel news to

:05:48. > :05:50.give you this morning. It certainly isn't the best news, but it's news

:05:51. > :05:51.that needs to be delivered. Thank you.

:05:52. > :05:54.We'll be speaking to Network Rail later in the programme.

:05:55. > :05:58.Wi-Fi controlled convoys of trucks could be on major British roads

:06:23. > :06:25.convoy with much less space between them than normal.

:06:26. > :06:28.This Dutch project is with two vehicles.

:06:29. > :06:34.A trial just announced here will be with three.

:06:35. > :06:39.It would be more efficient, take up less space on the network,

:06:40. > :06:42.improve fuel efficiency and hopefully help improve costs

:06:43. > :06:55.Each lorry has a driver, but the lead cab has control.

:06:56. > :06:58.To think about how three trucks can travel down a road in a platoon,

:06:59. > :07:06.imagine that the lead truck is a giant Wi-Fi hub,

:07:07. > :07:09.sending out signals on the precise distances and speeds the two

:07:10. > :07:13.And the Wi-Fi on the trailing two trucks can react much more quickly

:07:14. > :07:19.The funding announcement was made at a Lancashire truck factory.

:07:20. > :07:35.Researchers say because vehicles in platoon are in each

:07:36. > :07:37.othe'rs slipstream, fuel consumption and pollution fall.

:07:38. > :07:42.But one road user's body is sceptical.

:07:43. > :07:44.UK motorways are the most congested in Europe.

:07:45. > :07:48.And if you have a platoon of driverless lorries, it's very

:07:49. > :07:52.It will be difficult to exit the motorway.

:07:53. > :07:54.There will be rigorous safety checks before any platoons

:07:55. > :07:57.They will compare real delivery journeys made by platoon

:07:58. > :07:59.trucks with ones made in the traditional way.

:09:09. > :09:12.rise over the last year according to the British Chambers of Commerce.

:09:13. > :09:14.The companies say the increases are because of changes to employment

:09:15. > :09:18.legislation which is aimed at boosting prospects for workers -

:09:21. > :09:33.The woman who won the biggest single lottery jackpot in American history

:09:34. > :09:38.has already told her bosses she won't be returning to work.

:10:24. > :10:39.That is such a huge sum of money. Her odds were won in 292 million. A

:10:40. > :10:43.lucky lady. Who needs money when you have a view like this. This is the

:10:44. > :10:49.scene in Whitby this morning. We thought we would tempt you. A bank

:10:50. > :10:53.holiday weekend for many, not in Scotland, but England, Wales and

:10:54. > :10:57.Northern Ireland. If you have plans this weekend, perhaps heading off to

:10:58. > :11:03.the coast, somewhere glorious like this, if you are then Matt will have

:11:04. > :11:08.the weather in a few minutes. Also to bear in mind, there will be

:11:09. > :11:14.transport problems. It's a good news and bad news. The weather will be

:11:15. > :11:18.nice but if you are trying to get anywhere, particularly on the rail

:11:19. > :11:21.network, major engineering work will be taking place on some of the

:11:22. > :11:24.busiest networks. We're joined now by Ross Easton

:11:25. > :11:26.from National Rail, who is at London Euston

:11:27. > :11:36.this morning. Euston Station busy as normal, it's

:11:37. > :11:40.Friday, perhaps busier than normal, because that station will be

:11:41. > :11:44.completely shut for two days, having a big impact. This starts first

:11:45. > :11:51.thing tomorrow morning. That's right. Euston station behind me,

:11:52. > :11:55.that will be closed for two days for workaround HS2. We have other work

:11:56. > :12:02.going on around the country this bank holiday weekend, investing ?133

:12:03. > :12:06.million and 17,000 engineers out there to deliver better services for

:12:07. > :12:10.passengers in the future. Looking at Houston, that's the link to so much

:12:11. > :12:19.of the Northwest, Scotland and other places. -- looking at Euston. We

:12:20. > :12:24.have been out communicating the station will be closed and there are

:12:25. > :12:27.alternative travel arrangements in place to make sure passengers are as

:12:28. > :12:31.informed as possible. We will continue to do that today as well.

:12:32. > :12:35.Lots of events on across the country, as you mention, and our

:12:36. > :12:41.advice is to check before you travel. In practical terms, why does

:12:42. > :12:46.the whole station at Euston have to do close for the whole two days?

:12:47. > :12:52.What's the work going on that means you can't keep some platforms and

:12:53. > :12:57.operation running? Bank holidays when people tend to travel much

:12:58. > :13:01.less. The rail network is much quieter around bank holiday periods,

:13:02. > :13:07.so it makes it an ideal time to carry out much larger engineering

:13:08. > :13:10.projects. We carry out about 15,000 railway projects across the country

:13:11. > :13:15.delivering better services for passengers. At bank holiday we can

:13:16. > :13:20.deliver some of the megaprojects. At Waterloo we will be delivering a 30%

:13:21. > :13:23.increase in capacity. Passenger numbers in last 20 years have

:13:24. > :13:28.doubled. That's why this engineering work is essential, to deliver better

:13:29. > :13:35.railways for passengers in the future. Anyone travelling this

:13:36. > :13:39.weekend, what's your advice to them? I'm sorry, I just missed that

:13:40. > :13:43.question. I think you asked about advice for passengers travelling

:13:44. > :13:47.this week in, and the advice to passengers is to check before you

:13:48. > :13:52.travel. Visit the National rail website, where you can find out the

:13:53. > :13:59.latest travel information. You said this is part of a major programme.

:14:00. > :14:04.People understand that work needs to be done. Are they going to be many

:14:05. > :14:11.more of these weekends where for some people the rail system is

:14:12. > :14:15.effectively grinding to a halt? It's important we carry out these railway

:14:16. > :14:19.upgrades. We need to deliver better services for passengers in the

:14:20. > :14:22.future. We do make service announcements and make sure people

:14:23. > :14:28.are well aware of what's happening in advance. We try to minimise the

:14:29. > :14:32.work done during the day as far as possible. A lot of projects take

:14:33. > :14:36.place overnight. 15,000 projects, the majority of which taking place

:14:37. > :14:40.at night when the train service is not running. Over a bank holiday

:14:41. > :14:43.weekend when fewer people travel, we can get in to carry out these

:14:44. > :14:51.megaprojects to deliver better services for passengers.

:14:52. > :14:56.Ross Houston, thank you for your time, I think a lot of people will

:14:57. > :15:01.not be travelling, if they have that choice.

:15:02. > :15:04.The advice is only travel if you absolutely need to. You might want

:15:05. > :15:10.to be travelling to Whitby, where Matt is this morning. Glorious

:15:11. > :15:15.morning there, you have had some fun, you have been dancing, you were

:15:16. > :15:16.in your shorts, flip-flops, you have seen a beautiful sunrise, a lovely

:15:17. > :15:26.morning! It certainly has been, getting into

:15:27. > :15:30.the mood for a bank holiday weekend for many. Beautiful seaside town of

:15:31. > :15:36.Whitby on the coast of North Yorkshire, on the mouth of the

:15:37. > :15:40.river, and I have brought the BBC Breakfast deckchair, this will be

:15:41. > :15:44.back in full force in a couple of weeks' time for our series on

:15:45. > :15:48.coastal Britain. It has been travelling around the UK, finding

:15:49. > :15:50.out what you'll be about the seaside and the coast, and what sort of

:15:51. > :16:00.issues are being phased around the coast. -- faced around the coast.

:16:01. > :16:04.The weather on the coast is a hot topic among many, and you will

:16:05. > :16:08.notice that some were sitting under grey skies, but what about the bank

:16:09. > :16:14.holiday weekend? For today, some sunshine for most of you, but there

:16:15. > :16:17.will be some rain too, particularly across parts of Northern Ireland and

:16:18. > :16:20.western Scotland. They have already got the rain in Scotland, and it

:16:21. > :16:26.will develop more widely through the day, but some brightness expected

:16:27. > :16:31.between the downpours. A dry start for Northern England, a bit more of

:16:32. > :16:35.a breeze today, cloud amounts varying, but the sun is poking

:16:36. > :16:38.through, starting to warm things up a touch. Further south, we had clear

:16:39. > :16:43.skies through the night, and we started with temperatures in single

:16:44. > :16:47.figures, but it has warmed up nicely now, the morning mist has cleared. A

:16:48. > :16:50.cracking start to the bank holiday weekend for many, and if you are on

:16:51. > :16:56.holiday at the moment, there can be very few complaints with light winds

:16:57. > :17:00.and strong sunshine. Wales will see the best of the sunshine in the

:17:01. > :17:04.south and east, to the north and west some sunshine, but more cloud

:17:05. > :17:08.developing later in the day. In Northern Ireland, we already have

:17:09. > :17:14.outbreaks of rain, not what we needed after the minor flooding this

:17:15. > :17:19.week. I do not think any spot of rain in Northern Ireland or western

:17:20. > :17:22.Scotland, but a few thunderstorms possible to the north-east of

:17:23. > :17:31.Scotland, but a bit of sunshine at times for eastern Scotland, a few

:17:32. > :17:36.showers. Temperatures generally into the teens, maybe mid 20s depending

:17:37. > :17:44.on where you are. A few showers overnight, and that were continuing

:17:45. > :17:49.to Scotland, but driving out for the West. -- that will continue into

:17:50. > :17:54.Scotland. The vast majority of towns and cities will be in the teens.

:17:55. > :17:57.That takes us into your bank holiday weekend, where you are celebrating

:17:58. > :18:03.it, Saturday not looking too bad, there will be a few showers across

:18:04. > :18:07.England and Scotland, but very few across England, the vast majority

:18:08. > :18:12.will be dry. Northern Ireland, western Scotland, after today, a

:18:13. > :18:17.vastly improved day, feeling warmer. Further south, temperatures into the

:18:18. > :18:21.20s. Sunday looking largely dry, I am not promising anywhere clear blue

:18:22. > :18:25.skies, there will be cloud at times, but where sunshine breaks through,

:18:26. > :18:30.strong August sunshine, it will feel warm with most places having a dry

:18:31. > :18:35.day, temperatures into the mid 20s further south. It could get higher

:18:36. > :18:41.still into bank holiday Monday, highs of 28 degrees across southern

:18:42. > :18:44.England, much of England and Wales dry and sunny. Northern Ireland

:18:45. > :18:47.starts fine, but wet and windy weather pushing in through the day,

:18:48. > :18:52.reaching north-west England, Northwest Wales by the evening, but

:18:53. > :18:55.through much of the day and much of the coming weekend, there will be a

:18:56. > :19:01.lot of dry weather and a reasonable amount of sunshine. If you are

:19:02. > :19:04.heading somewhere like the glorious scenes here at Whitby throughout

:19:05. > :19:08.this bank holiday weekend, I hope you enjoy. Back to you.

:19:09. > :19:15.You know what I have noticed, Charlie? Again, that gorgeous view

:19:16. > :19:21.of Whitby, did you see Matt against the really big deckchair, the sizes

:19:22. > :19:27.did not match. If we go to Ben in the modern house, he is on a bed,

:19:28. > :19:35.but it looks like a really small bed for really Big Ben. Would you fit in

:19:36. > :19:38.there? Your feet would hang over the end!

:19:39. > :19:43.Shall we find out? This is the story of my life, guys, welcome to my

:19:44. > :19:47.world! Make longer beds, please! But that is not why we are here, we are

:19:48. > :19:52.talking about the house of the future, and this looks like a normal

:19:53. > :19:57.bedroom, apart from the tiny bed, but it is jam-packed full of

:19:58. > :20:00.technology. Like in the bathroom, this hi-tech mirror will tell you

:20:01. > :20:05.the date and time, what your shares are doing, if you want to know that

:20:06. > :20:08.sort of stuff. It links with your diary, so it knows that if you have

:20:09. > :20:12.got a big meeting at lunchtime and it will rain, you have to take your

:20:13. > :20:19.raincoat to make sure that you have got everything you need. Let me

:20:20. > :20:23.introduce you to Simon, the chief futurist here, good morning. You

:20:24. > :20:27.have been showing us all sorts of technology? Shall we buy a chair in

:20:28. > :20:32.augmented reality? Looking at this device, I have casted onto the

:20:33. > :20:37.screen though the viewers can see it, we know where the floor is,

:20:38. > :20:40.touch the bottom right corner, we will choose a chair, and with

:20:41. > :20:46.millimetre accuracy, we can bring a chair into the room. And this is the

:20:47. > :20:51.right size and shape, so you know if it will fit. I can rotate it, I can

:20:52. > :20:57.walk up to it, we can explore it and capture it with the camera. I can

:20:58. > :21:02.share that photograph on my social networks, ask my friends, should I

:21:03. > :21:06.buy blue or red? It looks like a lot of fun, but for brands, it is big

:21:07. > :21:12.money for them, it gets us to buy stuff where advertising may be

:21:13. > :21:16.losing its power. Brands have to find ways to win the hearts and

:21:17. > :21:19.minds of consumers, OK? You have to entertain them, find new ways of

:21:20. > :21:24.telling stories, and augmented reality, virtual reality, mixed

:21:25. > :21:32.reality, these are always for brands to share stuff in exciting ways. Let

:21:33. > :21:36.me introduce you to Maisie, good morning, we heard from Simon about

:21:37. > :21:40.how brands are using this, and we have seen a decline in sort of

:21:41. > :21:44.traditional advertising, maybe we are getting more smart about being

:21:45. > :21:49.sold to - is this the way they could do it in future? You could argue

:21:50. > :21:53.that, in this world, brands are even more important, getting people to

:21:54. > :21:56.actually remember what your brand is is more important, because you need

:21:57. > :21:59.to make sure that when people are ordering batteries or razors, they

:22:00. > :22:07.are not going for the generic term, in which case Google or Amazon would

:22:08. > :22:11.be able to pick. This is the point, I suppose, where the companies know

:22:12. > :22:16.so much about us, they know when we need a new razor, when we need new

:22:17. > :22:19.cornflakes, and they are able to do that automatically, and that is a

:22:20. > :22:24.huge power, knowing that we needed and they can provide it. Indeed, but

:22:25. > :22:28.you need to make sure that people are ordering your stuff, which could

:22:29. > :22:33.mean that traditional broadcast, reaching a lot of people at the same

:22:34. > :22:36.time, not necessarily just to be, that is more important, because you

:22:37. > :22:44.need people to be thinking of your brand when they ran out of beer or

:22:45. > :22:48.margarine. Thanks very much. Natalie is from Planet Retail, it is so

:22:49. > :22:53.funny, when we look at stuff like this, a connected home, it all looks

:22:54. > :22:57.very familiar, super hi-tech, and that is a lot of opportunities for

:22:58. > :23:02.brands. Technology is fundamentally changing the way that we shop. In

:23:03. > :23:06.the future, we will spend less time buying the necessities, so toilet

:23:07. > :23:13.paper, washing powder, you know, these functional purchases will just

:23:14. > :23:16.be automatically sent when we run low, so this has huge implications

:23:17. > :23:21.on the retail sector, because retailers are struggling to get

:23:22. > :23:25.shoppers into their doors. But amazing convenience for consumers.

:23:26. > :23:28.Amazing convenience, some people may find it a little terrifying that

:23:29. > :23:34.companies would know so much about what we need, where we shop, or that

:23:35. > :23:38.sort of thing. Do they have a point? Yeah, they do, and there is a fine

:23:39. > :23:42.line between technology being helpful and it being creepy, and it

:23:43. > :23:46.depends on personal preferences, but the upside to all this technology is

:23:47. > :23:53.not just convenience but the ability to offer a much more targeted and

:23:54. > :23:56.personalised offer for consumers. Natalie, thanks very much indeed. A

:23:57. > :24:00.taste of what this place can do, but as I showed you earlier, fascinating

:24:01. > :24:05.to see the television talk to the fridge, to the oven, switching it on

:24:06. > :24:10.and off so you don't burn your dinner. More from me later.

:24:11. > :24:13.Interesting, isn't it? All these different things that could change

:24:14. > :24:15.our lives - if we want to change them.

:24:16. > :24:17.In an attempt to make theatre accessible for all,

:24:18. > :24:19.one company has created a production especially for children

:24:20. > :24:22.Our entertainment correspondent Colin Paterson was invited

:24:23. > :24:27.to a preview performance to find out how it works.

:24:28. > :24:29.Samuel Taylor Coleridge's Kubla Khan, adapted

:24:30. > :24:36.into a 50-minute musical show for children who are deaf-blind.

:24:37. > :24:38.But how exactly do you create a production for young people

:24:39. > :24:44.Well, if we can't relate to them by those senses,

:24:45. > :24:53.There's scent, there's taste, there's touch,

:24:54. > :24:56.there's a sense of movement you have, the kinaesthetic sense,

:24:57. > :25:04.And the cast of Kubla Khan aim to create a stately pleasure dome

:25:05. > :25:08.by interacting with the children using water, sand and pebbles.

:25:09. > :25:16.I mean, it's just an honour to kind of do it, and to get

:25:17. > :25:20.to have this communication with these kids, really.

:25:21. > :25:22.You almost look like you're getting emotional.

:25:23. > :25:25.I am, I am, it's probably because I'm going to do it in 20

:25:26. > :25:32.minutes and I can't wait, it's going to be great.

:25:33. > :25:38.And music also has a crucial role to play.

:25:39. > :25:42.People don't just hear with their ears.

:25:43. > :25:45.Some people say as much as 60% of what you hear

:25:46. > :25:51.The vibrations are the essential part, and then how you play

:25:52. > :25:54.with those textures so you can actually feel them, so that you can

:25:55. > :26:04.Afterwards, it was clear what an impact the show had made

:26:05. > :26:06.both on the children and their parents.

:26:07. > :26:08.What bit did James particularly like, then?

:26:09. > :26:14.I think he liked the moving water, definitely the moving water,

:26:15. > :26:17.because he loves bath time, for instance,

:26:18. > :26:21.so he can relate to that sort of thing.

:26:22. > :26:27.It's not very often that she enjoys something that she's part of,

:26:28. > :26:31.so it was a lovely time for both of us.

:26:32. > :26:35.You're beaming. Yeah, maybe, nearly crying.

:26:36. > :26:39.And Emily's thoroughly enjoyed herself?

:26:40. > :26:42.She really did, she really enjoyed herself.

:26:43. > :26:47.And yes, she really did enjoy herself.

:26:48. > :26:50.Tomorrow, this ground-breaking production

:26:51. > :26:51.will have its official premiere in Canterbury.

:26:52. > :30:29.Having a great effect on those kids. It certainly works. Time to get

:30:30. > :30:33.Thought Mendy would be more cloudy but now we think the sunshine is set

:30:34. > :30:36.to stay. But it will turn more changeable from Tuesday. The weather

:30:37. > :30:39.not looking too bad that all this weekend. I will be back in around

:30:40. > :30:52.Hello, this is Breakfast with Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt.

:30:53. > :30:55.Major travel disruption is expected over the weekend as millions prepare

:30:56. > :30:57.for the bank holiday getaway amid engineering works

:30:58. > :30:59.on some of the country's busiest rail routes.

:31:00. > :31:01.Operators have warned passengers to expect delays as Euston station

:31:02. > :31:04.is closed for two days and services between London, the North West

:31:05. > :31:08.Road users have also been advised to expect longer journeys with more

:31:09. > :31:10.traffic predicted over the course of the weekend.

:31:11. > :31:12.Wifi-controlled convoys of trucks could be on major British roads

:31:13. > :31:16.by the the end of next year, as part of a plan to cut emissions

:31:17. > :31:19.The Department for Transport says up to three wirelessly connected HGVs

:31:20. > :31:22.will travel together, with drivers in each to steer

:31:23. > :31:23.but the speed controlled by the lead vehicle.

:31:24. > :31:40.The AA says it has major safety concerns about the idea.

:31:41. > :31:42.South Wales Police missed a number of opportunities to bring convicted

:31:43. > :31:44.paedophile Ian Watkins to justice sooner.

:31:45. > :31:46.The Independent Police Complaints Commission says that from 2008,

:31:47. > :31:48.the force failed to act on allegations made by seven

:31:49. > :31:50.people about the then-lead singer of Lostprophets.

:31:51. > :31:52.Radical action is needed to help integrate immigrants into society,

:31:53. > :31:57.In a new report, the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Social

:31:58. > :31:59.Integration warns that the immigration debate has become

:32:00. > :32:02.It's renewing calls for the Government to make English

:32:03. > :32:05.The Home Office says it already funds community

:32:06. > :32:08.cohesion projects, including some focused on language.

:32:09. > :32:11.US officials say that the number of American embassy staff affected

:32:12. > :32:14.by hearing loss while working in Cuba has risen to at least 16,

:32:15. > :32:16.after what they believe was a series of deliberate covert attacks.

:32:17. > :32:18.The State Department is probing several incidents dating back

:32:19. > :32:21.to September last year in which diplomats are thought

:32:22. > :32:23.to have been hit with a mystery sonic weapon.

:32:24. > :32:35.Four out of five businesses have seen the cost of employing staff

:32:36. > :32:38.rise over the last year, according to the British Chambers of Commerce.

:32:39. > :32:41.The companies say the increases are because of changes to employment

:32:42. > :32:43.legislation which is aimed at boosting prospects for workers -

:32:44. > :32:45.things like the apprenticeship levy, pensions auto-enrolment

:32:46. > :33:00.a question we posed earlier on this morning, which you have no doubt

:33:01. > :33:07.been worrying about all morning... How do you find out

:33:08. > :33:16.the length a lion? And don't be is ID plans. It does

:33:17. > :33:29.not involve running a measuring tape along its back! -- don't be.

:33:30. > :33:32.You use a bag of meat suspended from a tree.

:33:33. > :33:34.This is one being measured at London Zoo as part

:33:35. > :33:37.The sizes and weights of the creatures are recorded

:33:38. > :33:40.by the keepers so they can monitor the creatures' health

:33:41. > :33:43.There are currently more than 20,000 animals and 698

:33:44. > :34:01.The penguin is obviously the easiest one to weigh. Last one in, is that

:34:02. > :34:04.how it works? Yes, or the one who annoyed you the most last week!

:34:05. > :34:12.LAUGHTER Calling in sick, a dodgy tummy this

:34:13. > :34:18.morning, can't make the lion measuring. Yes, but we have

:34:19. > :34:22.established that the gorilla measuring is not one we would like

:34:23. > :34:28.to do. What a question! Which one would you rather measure? So much

:34:29. > :34:32.more to enlighten you this morning coming up!

:34:33. > :34:34.Coming up here on Breakfast this morning:

:34:35. > :34:36.We'll hear how these woodland gardens could be affected by plans

:34:37. > :34:39.to improve safety on one of the country's busiest

:34:40. > :34:42.Britain's Forgotten Men is a new series looking

:34:43. > :34:44.at the impact of issues like crime and poor education on white

:34:45. > :34:53.# Uptown girl, she's been living in her uptown world...#.

:34:54. > :34:56.Just one of the 14 Number 1s Shane Filan had with Westlife.

:34:57. > :34:59.Shane's now a successful solo artist and will be here on the sofa to tell

:35:00. > :35:15.Where to start with the sport? Mo Farah, his track career is over!

:35:16. > :35:22.It may well go down as one of Farah's most tense races.

:35:23. > :35:28.He is going to carry on running? Yes, but he will just concentrate on

:35:29. > :35:32.road races, so we are still waiting for that goodbye to come. But the

:35:33. > :35:37.strange thought, that he will not see him in that environment again,

:35:38. > :35:42.the crowds around, on the track. Yes, Super Saturday, of course. A

:35:43. > :35:43.fitting win last night. The four-time Olympic champion just

:35:44. > :35:46.managed to hang on at the line, ahead of the man that

:35:47. > :35:49.beat him in the same final I have really enjoyed my career.

:35:50. > :36:02.earlier this month, Muktar Edris. It has been a long journey

:36:03. > :36:05.but at the same time, I've enjoyed. I will miss the track

:36:06. > :36:08.and the people. But it is time to start

:36:09. > :36:11.a new chapter in my life, go on to the road

:36:12. > :36:14.to see what I can do there. CJ Ujah claimed the best win

:36:15. > :36:17.of his young career, beating the World Champion Justin

:36:18. > :36:19.Gatlin in the 100m with a The American Gatlin

:36:20. > :36:24.finished back in fourth. Get ready for two great goals,

:36:25. > :36:27.one of them a 50-yard effort from Everton's new signing

:36:28. > :36:28.Gylfi Sigurdsson. Hadjuk Split's opener

:36:29. > :36:30.in their Europa League qualifier was pretty impresssive -

:36:31. > :36:33.only to be outdone by this strike from Everton's

:36:34. > :36:34.new ?45 million signing, 50 yards, what an effort from the

:36:35. > :36:45.Icelandic midfielder! Everton won the tie 3-1

:36:46. > :36:47.to reach the group stages England men's manager

:36:48. > :36:51.Gareth Southgate has defended Mark Sampson,

:36:52. > :36:56.the head coach of the women's team, amid allegations of "bullying

:36:57. > :36:58.and discrimination." Striker Eni Aluko made

:36:59. > :36:59.the claims against Sampson, but he's been cleared of wrongdoing

:37:00. > :37:02.by both an FA investigation Sampson and the FA

:37:03. > :37:06.deny the allegations and Southgate has praised

:37:07. > :37:12.the character of his fellow coach. My feeling is that the culture

:37:13. > :37:25.is very good here. So I can't talk for specific camps

:37:26. > :37:28.or meetings or age groups that I'm not involved with,

:37:29. > :37:31.but I sense that we are heading in a good direction with everything

:37:32. > :37:34.that's going on at St George's Park. And I think the summer was a good

:37:35. > :37:37.example of that across the men's England can seal the series

:37:38. > :37:41.against West Indies with victory in the second Test which starts

:37:42. > :37:43.later at Headingley. The last Test finished inside three

:37:44. > :37:46.days and England will start as big It's one of two Tests to take place

:37:47. > :37:50.before this winter's Ashes and will see Joe Root lead England

:37:51. > :37:54.out at his home ground. And staying with cricket,

:37:55. > :38:01.the Test Match Special 60th anniversary match took place

:38:02. > :38:03.yesterday, with former players Radio 1's Greg James

:38:04. > :38:10.dropping this catch... perhaps unsurprsingly

:38:11. > :38:11.because he was broadcasting live He made up for it by scoring some

:38:12. > :38:28.runs, though, to help Worth pointing out he was not the

:38:29. > :38:36.only one involved, was he, Naga? No, I was there, and look at this

:38:37. > :38:46.footwear. The trainers. Sadly on the losing team, by all accounts? It was

:38:47. > :38:53.about taking part! Were you last? It was all about taking part, Charlie!

:38:54. > :38:57.I was at the very end of the batting order, didn't think I would get at

:38:58. > :39:01.go. LAUGHTER

:39:02. > :39:03.Of a convivial atmosphere, cricket, social sport. I embraced the event

:39:04. > :39:09.wholeheartedly! It is coming up for 22 nine. -- 20

:39:10. > :39:19.to nine. After the high of 14 number one

:39:20. > :39:21.singles with Westlife, Shane Filan experienced

:39:22. > :39:23.the devastating low in 2012 But since then he's successfully

:39:24. > :39:27.rebuilt his career as a solo artist and is about to release

:39:28. > :39:29.his third album. Before we speak to him

:39:30. > :39:31.let's hear his latest # When you lose your way

:39:32. > :39:36.and the fight is gone # Your heart starts to break

:39:37. > :39:40.and you need someone around now # Just close your eyes

:39:41. > :39:42.while I put my arms around you # She stands in the rain,

:39:43. > :39:48.just to hide it all # If you ever turn around

:39:49. > :39:58.I won't let you fall down now # I swear I'll find your smile

:39:59. > :40:01.then put my arms around you # You need to know that

:40:02. > :40:14.somebody's there all the time # I'd wait in line

:40:15. > :40:16.and I hope it's yours # I can't walk away

:40:17. > :40:18.till your heart knows # That it's beautiful,

:40:19. > :40:20.oh, I hope you know Shane Filan joins us

:40:21. > :40:26.on the sofa now. Good morning. We have been enjoying

:40:27. > :40:29.the seaside at Whitby this morning. That was lovely and there? Yes, just

:40:30. > :40:35.out of Dublin, on the coast, really stunning. A spectacular beach. A

:40:36. > :40:39.nice place to record a video. Yes, we were worried about the weather.

:40:40. > :40:44.It was meant to be raining but it was lovely and sunny, so it was

:40:45. > :40:48.cool. Tell us about the new album. You third solo album? Yes, my third.

:40:49. > :40:55.A collection of my favourite love songs. I have always wanted to make

:40:56. > :41:00.an album of I suppose my favourite memories of songs growing up, and I

:41:01. > :41:05.definitely have sang a lot of love songs in the last 15 years or so, so

:41:06. > :41:09.good to make. I always find it fascinating when people who have

:41:10. > :41:13.musical careers and have done original music do music that they

:41:14. > :41:21.love, because I wonder, do you do it your way, or do you do it the

:41:22. > :41:26.original way, and almost impersonate that and... Put your own spin on it?

:41:27. > :41:30.How much can you... You can't really change the song. It is famous for a

:41:31. > :41:40.reason already because of the original. I just find if you do you

:41:41. > :41:49.take, Bryan Adams, and so on, one of those songs I always wanted to sing,

:41:50. > :41:52.and even the Bangles, Eternal Flame. It is my version of it and hopefully

:41:53. > :41:58.the fans will like it, but they are great songs. What I wanted to do. A

:41:59. > :42:06.lot of people of course will remember you from West -- Westlife.

:42:07. > :42:12.Let's have a remainder... # You raise me up to

:42:13. > :42:18.more than I can be. # You raise me up, so I can

:42:19. > :42:23.stand on mountains. # You raise me up to

:42:24. > :42:27.walk on stormy seas. # I am strong when I am

:42:28. > :42:31.on your shoulders. # You raise me up to

:42:32. > :42:57.more than I can be #. Fightback that moment, you know, you

:42:58. > :43:03.are on the stools then you get up... Was that all coordinated? That was

:43:04. > :43:07.Simon Cowell's idea from the first day. He said, I want you to get up

:43:08. > :43:12.at the key change because I think it will really impact the crowd, and we

:43:13. > :43:17.did it once and that was it. Did anyone break ranks and go too soon?

:43:18. > :43:20.No, we always waited... LAUGHTER

:43:21. > :43:25.We had it well rehearsed, perfectly timed. Rehearsing for weeks getting

:43:26. > :43:29.that right. We continue to do it and it became one of those things people

:43:30. > :43:33.joked about but we still did it, every day we got up, and it

:43:34. > :43:41.definitely got more exciting. Falque change and everything, it was so

:43:42. > :43:48.suitable. -- the whole key change and everything. We didn't really

:43:49. > :43:53.dance, I mean, there was Uptown Girl and everything, but... Was the real

:43:54. > :44:05.reason that you couldn't dance? We could dance! We just did a lot of

:44:06. > :44:08.ballads. We wanted to be the Backstreet Boys when we started and

:44:09. > :44:12.Simon didn't want that. But we were quite successful so it was good.

:44:13. > :44:17.When you all meet up, because you split up amicably, and you still see

:44:18. > :44:27.each other, and perhaps you have a few Shandy 's... A few beers, yes.

:44:28. > :44:34.Do you still sing together? No, but we drink together and stuff. We

:44:35. > :44:38.haven't been together since our last concert but two of us had a barbecue

:44:39. > :44:43.recently, and it was good, great pay. A little bit of a singsong?

:44:44. > :44:46.Yes, and kids were there. They don't really know each other and also it

:44:47. > :44:51.was great because they could spend that whole day together. He got out

:44:52. > :44:58.the guitar, it was good. You seem happy. Yes, very happy. The last

:44:59. > :45:03.four years have been amazing, good, doing what I love, going on tour

:45:04. > :45:04.this year, so it will be fun in the next few months. Thank you for

:45:05. > :45:04.coming in. And Matt's beside the seaside

:45:05. > :45:24.in Whitby this morning It's lovely there! It is stunning,

:45:25. > :45:25.dry and a bit of sunshine this morning, beautiful seaside town on

:45:26. > :45:33.the coast in North Yorkshire. I've taken a weight off my feet for

:45:34. > :45:37.a short while in the BBC Gabi Chris deckchair which has travelled around

:45:38. > :45:41.the country, ahead of our coastal Britain series which starts on the

:45:42. > :45:45.4th of September. As part of that, we would like to hear from you about

:45:46. > :45:50.your coastal community Champion, the sort of people who do the extra bit

:45:51. > :45:53.to dedicate their lives to our coastlines around the UK and of

:45:54. > :45:58.course, the coastal heritage. Our first coastal champion is Jason

:45:59. > :46:02.Cummings might remember him for a few months ago when we were in

:46:03. > :46:07.London know with BBC Gabi post, who runs the UK's longest-running punch

:46:08. > :46:10.and Judy show, started in 1864 and it was started by his

:46:11. > :46:11.great-grandfather, who arrived in the seaside town to entertain the

:46:12. > :46:17.Victorian crowd. My great-great-grandfather arrived

:46:18. > :46:25.in Llandudno in 1860. He was actually

:46:26. > :46:27.a travelling showman. He got stranded here

:46:28. > :46:29.because his horse died. He had seen Punch

:46:30. > :46:32.and Judys elsewhere. Llandudno was just starting

:46:33. > :46:34.to become a resort, and he thought, you know

:46:35. > :46:36.what, I'll do that. He collected driftwood

:46:37. > :46:37.off the beach, made all the puppets -

:46:38. > :46:40.the puppets we still use today - I'm sure he didn't realise

:46:41. > :46:44.it'd still be here From a financial point of view,

:46:45. > :46:48.we are doing it for the love of it - I can

:46:49. > :46:50.assure you of that. Mr Punch, oh, that's

:46:51. > :46:52.a very good idea. The only thing I can guarantee

:46:53. > :46:55.is that I will do it for as long as I'm around,

:46:56. > :47:13.as much as I possibly can. I think she would be sorry to see it

:47:14. > :47:14.stop so she will find a way of keeping it going.

:47:15. > :47:19.But I'm only young - a lot of time yet.

:47:20. > :47:25.He is a lovely bloke, Jason, I met him a few months ago. If you have

:47:26. > :47:28.got a community coastal champion you would like to nominate, we will

:47:29. > :47:31.feature them during the coastal Britain week which starts on the 4th

:47:32. > :47:35.of September through social media and potentially on TV as well. Why

:47:36. > :47:41.not send us an e-mail or connect with us on Facebook? We have all the

:47:42. > :47:44.details that we look forward to hearing from you in the next few

:47:45. > :47:49.days. Of course, here, it is a lovely start the day but will it

:47:50. > :47:53.last for the bank holiday weekend? Let's take a look at the details,

:47:54. > :47:57.quite a bit of sunshine today for many but some rain around that times

:47:58. > :48:00.as well, particularly for Northern Ireland and parts of western

:48:01. > :48:04.Scotland. Not everywhere, already some rain across Scotland, heaviest

:48:05. > :48:08.towards the south-west. Outbreaks of rain developing elsewhere through

:48:09. > :48:12.the day. But many start the day dry, northern England, like in Whitby, a

:48:13. > :48:20.bit of cloud and some sunshine and a bit of a breeze, especially around

:48:21. > :48:22.the coasts. Ed further south and the wind has been very light which led

:48:23. > :48:24.to the chilly start this morning, temperatures down into single

:48:25. > :48:27.figures with mist patches but they have gone now and most of us will

:48:28. > :48:30.have a lovely day. Warming up quite quickly under the strong August

:48:31. > :48:35.sunshine. Wind remaining light. As they will do across southern parts

:48:36. > :48:38.of Wales, best of the sunshine, a bit further north and west, clouds

:48:39. > :48:42.coming and going at times particularly in the afternoon. For

:48:43. > :48:44.Northern Ireland, heavy rain, especially to the south-east, also

:48:45. > :48:48.affecting the Belfast area. That rain is not what we need at the

:48:49. > :48:52.moment because we had minor flooding this week and there will be the risk

:48:53. > :48:55.of minor flooding through today. It won't rain everywhere and wherever

:48:56. > :48:59.you are, hopefully it will not rain all day but it will be heavy at

:49:00. > :49:02.times, as it will be three parts of Scotland, a few thunderstorms

:49:03. > :49:06.cropping up later. In northern England, increased cloud with one or

:49:07. > :49:10.two showers to come. Further south, staying dry with some sunshine. It

:49:11. > :49:15.will feel warm with temperatures into the mid-20s. Heading into

:49:16. > :49:18.tonight, a few showers will continue, the heaviest of which will

:49:19. > :49:23.be across Scotland. Some four parts of England, two, gaps between, not

:49:24. > :49:25.everyone will see them but certainly Northern Ireland and western

:49:26. > :49:29.Scotland drying up somewhat as we head into tomorrow morning. Tomorrow

:49:30. > :49:33.morning, we will see temperatures not quite as low as this morning,

:49:34. > :49:37.generally holding around the mid teens. That takes us into the start

:49:38. > :49:41.of the bank holiday weekend. Actually, Saturday is not looking

:49:42. > :49:44.too bad. Some showers around, particularly in parts of eastern

:49:45. > :49:49.Scotland, and some parts of northern England and the Midlands to start

:49:50. > :49:53.the day. One or two across England but big gaps between them, a fair

:49:54. > :49:57.amount of sunshine to come and certainly western Scotland, Northern

:49:58. > :49:59.Ireland, a vastly improved a competitor day so it will feel

:50:00. > :50:02.warmer and warmest of all, best of the sunshine and the driest weather,

:50:03. > :50:07.southern England with temperatures to the mid-20s. Into Sunday, we do

:50:08. > :50:10.it all again as far as dry weather is concerned that the vast majority,

:50:11. > :50:14.showers few and far between, not going to promise clear blue skies

:50:15. > :50:16.all the way, a bit of cloud but when the sunshine breaks through, it will

:50:17. > :50:21.feel warm with temperatures in the high teens and the low to mid 20s.

:50:22. > :50:25.For bank holiday Monday, possibly warmer still across the South, 28

:50:26. > :50:29.degrees not out of the question, England and Wales with the funniest

:50:30. > :50:33.man, they weather, Northern Ireland and Scotland starting off dry and it

:50:34. > :50:37.but wet and windy gradually arriving through the day, reaching parts of

:50:38. > :50:41.north-west England, North West Wales before the days out. While we are in

:50:42. > :50:46.Whitby, it is the folk week this week. I had handkerchief out

:50:47. > :50:53.earlier. I've got my stick this time. I'm off to join the Chelsea

:50:54. > :50:57.Morris -- Sheffield city Morris grew because they have been performing a

:50:58. > :51:01.week with 600 other acts. No better way to enjoy the day. Enjoy your

:51:02. > :51:13.weekend! He's very good at keeping in time.

:51:14. > :51:23.I've got it this time. Are you going to bash sticks with anyone?

:51:24. > :51:27.Apparently not. You could see that smiling face. He

:51:28. > :51:33.was thinking, "How long do I have to do this?" I needed to stop now! We

:51:34. > :51:36.were rather hoping he was going to do that thing where they hit the

:51:37. > :51:45.sticks. I think there would have been safety issues, though.

:51:46. > :51:47.Let's talk about something completely different.

:51:48. > :51:49.Low education, poor jobs, homelessness and high crime -

:51:50. > :51:52.these are some of the challenges facing white working class men that

:51:53. > :51:57.a new BBC Three documentary explores.

:51:58. > :52:03.Dan Murdoch's new series is called Britain's Forgotten Men and was

:52:04. > :52:04.recorded in Manchester. We will talk to him in a moment but first, let's

:52:05. > :52:07.hear from some of the people he met. What in any way at all could

:52:08. > :52:14.you call a doorway any In a squat, I get a warm,

:52:15. > :52:20.safe, dry place. Real men call their kids

:52:21. > :52:27.after themselves. I'm Jimmy.

:52:28. > :52:28.My son's Jimmy. My son's son will be Jimmy

:52:29. > :52:32.because I'll get him And, erm, my grandad,

:52:33. > :52:37.my grandad's Pascal but his brother is called Jimmy and my grandad's

:52:38. > :52:39.grandad is Jimmy. You see a nine-year-old kid throw

:52:40. > :52:48.a brick through your car window. Would you go out and try

:52:49. > :52:55.and grab hold of him? If you touch him, that's assault

:52:56. > :52:58.and that's assault on a minor. The police will definitely

:52:59. > :53:00.come out for that. There might be drug

:53:01. > :53:03.or alcohol problems. If you go outside again,

:53:04. > :53:07.there might be a gang of them. They might come back

:53:08. > :53:26.the night after, do your car Good morning. Good morning. How long

:53:27. > :53:30.did it take you, how much time did you spend with these people? We

:53:31. > :53:34.started going up in January, so initially we went up for six or

:53:35. > :53:38.seven weeks, me and the producer, just meeting people, hanging out on

:53:39. > :53:42.different estates, getting to know people, going around boxing clubs

:53:43. > :53:47.and gyms, going into pubs. The premise, the idea you had when he

:53:48. > :53:51.first came up to talk to them, was...? There's a couple of starts,

:53:52. > :53:54.so now white working-class boys do worse at GCSE level than any other

:53:55. > :53:57.group and white working-class lads, few of them are going to university

:53:58. > :54:07.than any other group, I think Theresa May mention that in her

:54:08. > :54:10.maiden PM speech and it sat with me, wondering what was going on and that

:54:11. > :54:12.combined with what happened with the referendum, where I think the mood

:54:13. > :54:15.of large swathes of the country was misunderstood, it felt like fertile

:54:16. > :54:18.ground to go and talk to people. So you as a film maker wander into

:54:19. > :54:21.these places and say, "I'm interested in looking at you and

:54:22. > :54:24.watching you and observing you". I imagine, initially, maybe people are

:54:25. > :54:28.not so happy and that could be a universal thing, people thinking,

:54:29. > :54:34."Hold on, what are you trying to do?" Of course, and especially in

:54:35. > :54:38.the hostile style of the media at the moment, particularly but I spent

:54:39. > :54:42.2015 working with the Ku Klux Klan, making films about them, and 2016

:54:43. > :54:45.with a black liberation movement, making thumbs about them and we

:54:46. > :54:48.await have time on our side to meet people without the camera and build

:54:49. > :54:52.relationships and go and hang out and convince people of your good

:54:53. > :54:55.intentions. But ultimately, I think people are always taking a gamble

:54:56. > :54:58.when they start talking to the media because it is up to us to represent

:54:59. > :55:01.them fairly but thankfully, everyone who has been in the film as got back

:55:02. > :55:04.to us and said we are pleased -- they are pleased with how we

:55:05. > :55:13.represented them. The introduction we had to you was angry white

:55:14. > :55:15.working-class men. Is that a fair description? Certainly a lot of the

:55:16. > :55:20.people we've met, I don't want to portray huge swathes of the country

:55:21. > :55:24.as being like that. But that is the wrist, you put the blue boxes which

:55:25. > :55:27.we try so hard not to do. A lot of people are angry and there's a lot

:55:28. > :55:30.of resentment, lots of people who are struggling with low paid jobs

:55:31. > :55:34.and to put food on the table, having to use food banks, these are mill

:55:35. > :55:38.towns without a mill and community centres that have closed down, the

:55:39. > :55:41.pubs are shutting down, the pub football leagues aren't going with

:55:42. > :55:44.them. People are frustrated about that but on the flip side, what we

:55:45. > :55:48.show in the film is our communities are coming to try to fight back and

:55:49. > :55:53.do something. We have got characters like Greg, the United States of

:55:54. > :55:56.within Shaw, who set up a gym for local lads to get them off the

:55:57. > :55:59.street and give them something to do, like Mikey Thompson who has a

:56:00. > :56:02.committee action network and has parties on his estate to bring

:56:03. > :56:07.people together, and Chris Blain, who set up a squat for homeless

:56:08. > :56:09.people to live in, so we are showing that people are trying to do

:56:10. > :56:10.something about this. You mentioned homelessness.

:56:11. > :56:13.We've got a clip of Jordan, who had been homeless for almost

:56:14. > :56:19.And if you haven't got your ?18 together, what happens?

:56:20. > :56:34.Begging, asking the public for money.

:56:35. > :56:49.Dearly, Dan, your role, and the films you have made before, you are

:56:50. > :56:52.an observer, you observe things but it's hard, you must draw your own

:56:53. > :56:58.conclusion sometimes about what you are seeing so what do you take from

:56:59. > :57:02.the voices you hear? Look, I think my job is to go there and try to ask

:57:03. > :57:06.the right questions, and to try to challenge people if I think they are

:57:07. > :57:09.being outrageous. But really, I think I just go there and move the

:57:10. > :57:13.story along, try to keep the camera in focus. I'm going to let them say

:57:14. > :57:17.what they want. I think there is other people who can talk about how

:57:18. > :57:20.best to sell it. Interesting, because these are people in

:57:21. > :57:25.disadvantaged communities and as you said before, they think their voices

:57:26. > :57:29.are not heard and they may well be thinking, "You know what? This is

:57:30. > :57:36.someone who will help us". This is the best card we have to play, at

:57:37. > :57:39.least I'm here, and I'm here to listen Das questions. To add to

:57:40. > :57:43.that, what people feel is that when they do speak out, they get called

:57:44. > :57:47.Abbott, scum, hoodies, they get told to get a job and worse, they get

:57:48. > :57:52.called racists or bigots. I think people are fed up with that sneering

:57:53. > :57:57.attitude so the aim was to come and really be fair to people and give

:57:58. > :58:00.them a voice. Everyone does have an idea of what is going on in the

:58:01. > :58:06.world, however impartial and open-minded you would like to think

:58:07. > :58:09.you are, you have a preconception. When you met these people and heard

:58:10. > :58:17.different stories and different lives, what surprised you? What did

:58:18. > :58:20.you take away? That you had got wrong. To be honest, I live in

:58:21. > :58:23.London, in a really transient part of the world where a lot of people

:58:24. > :58:28.are coming in and out of town for work, for jobs, to study, from other

:58:29. > :58:31.parts of the world. You go and spend a lot of time on the bench am I

:58:32. > :58:34.estate in Wythenshawe, you spend a few months there and there's a sense

:58:35. > :58:38.of community, which he would not feel living in a big city. Everyone

:58:39. > :58:42.knows each other. My Grandad went to school with your grandad. That makes

:58:43. > :58:46.ties and bonds which are far deeper than things that I feel living in

:58:47. > :58:50.London. Obviously, you concentrate on men and some people might be the

:58:51. > :58:54.think you don't get a full picture of a place if you just speak to the

:58:55. > :58:58.men, in many ways, you are getting one side of the story again.

:58:59. > :59:02.Forshaw, and we met a lot of strong women up there and lots of women who

:59:03. > :59:06.are holding families together but BBC Three in particular does a huge

:59:07. > :59:09.range of broadcasting, covering all different topics and all different

:59:10. > :59:12.sections of society and I think we wanted to home in on men and that

:59:13. > :59:14.was fair. Interesting idea. Lovely to see you.

:59:15. > :59:16.Britain's Forgotten Men is available to watch on BBC Three's

:59:17. > :59:33.And it is one of the busiest motorway junctions in the country

:59:34. > :59:44.with more accident apparently than anywhere in England... But a number

:59:45. > :59:52.of rare trees and plants could be threatened at Wisley.

:59:53. > :59:55.Highways England says the upgrade will the road safer but campaigners

:59:56. > :59:57.including Alan Titchmarsh are calling for British gardeners

:59:58. > :00:00.Tim Muffett is in Wisley for us this morning.

:00:01. > :00:16.And as such are lovely spot. As you can possibly hear the A3 is right

:00:17. > :00:20.next to this part of the Wisley in Surrey. Part of the problem because

:00:21. > :00:27.there are plans to improve that. These trees you can see behind me,

:00:28. > :00:30.all along there, and there as well, they could be removed as part of

:00:31. > :00:34.those improvements. Before we chat about that, there is a little

:00:35. > :00:35.further explanation as to the geography of this area and the

:00:36. > :00:39.issues at the heart of this. It's been considered a centre

:00:40. > :00:41.of horticultural excellence for more than a century,

:00:42. > :00:43.but Wisley lies close At peak times, it's used

:00:44. > :00:58.by 7000 vehicles an hour. According to Highways

:00:59. > :01:00.England, it has one of the highest collision rates

:01:01. > :01:02.in the country and needs improving. The Royal Horticultural Society

:01:03. > :01:07.fears one plan being considered would see the A3 widened,

:01:08. > :01:09.with the loss of 2.5 acres 500 trees would be cut down,

:01:10. > :01:18.a prospect that has angered some. One of several down

:01:19. > :01:26.this great strip. This, along with rhododendrons,

:01:27. > :01:32.magnolias, camellias, would all go. The RHS wants Highways England

:01:33. > :01:34.to choose another option, one that would have less impact

:01:35. > :01:49.on these historic gardens. Matthew Cort it is the curator here

:01:50. > :02:02.at RHS Wisley. How concerned are you that this will happen? -- Matthew

:02:03. > :02:07.Pottage. They have not given us confident that this option would be

:02:08. > :02:18.back the we are very concerned. Disjunction is. Yes and the RHS are

:02:19. > :02:24.aware of that. I use it every day. But there is a way of doing this

:02:25. > :02:29.that does involve the removal of almost 500, up to 1000 on the full

:02:30. > :02:32.stretch, of our trees. Some of these redwoods are over 100 years old and

:02:33. > :02:37.can go on to live for many more hundreds of years. Baitieri have

:02:38. > :02:45.been working with you in their deliberations. Have they? --

:02:46. > :02:49.highways England say they have been working with you. We have visitors

:02:50. > :02:53.from all over the world. It is a very globally important garden. And

:02:54. > :02:57.they haven't been properly, and this needs to be taken seriously and we

:02:58. > :03:01.need that assurance that we do not have. Thank you, Matthew Foulds

:03:02. > :03:04.highways England said in their statement they care about the

:03:05. > :03:06.environment and protecting the special environment around Wisley is

:03:07. > :03:12.a priority as well as developing proposals for the junction. The

:03:13. > :03:17.liberation is expected in the next few weeks, but meanwhile, it is a

:03:18. > :03:21.lovely day. Helen, any good gardening tips? A busy time for

:03:22. > :03:27.cuttings at the moments later on today I will be getting started on

:03:28. > :03:32.the Haligonians and the futures. As I say it as a busy time with

:03:33. > :03:35.harvesting, lots of pruning, people getting on with their hedges, making

:03:36. > :03:46.sure everything is trim before the end of August -- Fuchsias. This is

:03:47. > :03:52.the part of Wisley where we do trials which are very important.

:03:53. > :03:57.Plants men who give the plants to the garden to be tested, which may

:03:58. > :04:00.go over two or three years, they hope they will get an award of

:04:01. > :04:05.garden merit, which is something to look for if you are buying anything

:04:06. > :04:10.in garden centres, because all plants that have been tested are

:04:11. > :04:16.true to type, freely available, and surely they will do well in your

:04:17. > :04:20.garden. Centre of global horticultural excellence. Thank you,

:04:21. > :04:25.Helen. As you can hear and see, a beautiful spot next to a major road

:04:26. > :04:28.and there are concerns about that expansion and improvement which has

:04:29. > :04:30.some people here a little worried, but it is a lovely place to spend

:04:31. > :06:10.the morning. Think you're very much. a bright and mainly dry

:06:11. > :06:12.day with warm sunshine. Some patchy cloud is

:06:13. > :06:14.likely in the afternoon, I'm back with the latest from

:06:15. > :06:20.the BBC London newsroom at 1.30. In his 30-year career he has gone

:06:21. > :06:30.from playing to four people in a pub in Carlisle to selling out

:06:31. > :06:33.the Albert Hall, but he is still probably the most successful British

:06:34. > :06:35.musician most people Steven Wilson is known as the king

:06:36. > :06:39.of progressive rock, and his new album is expected to go

:06:40. > :06:42.straight to the top of the charts. Before we speak to him

:06:43. > :06:46.let's have a listen. # And sing it and live

:06:47. > :07:05.it It's always there # Hold on, hold onto the minute

:07:06. > :07:07.And feel it, believe it # Now we're levitating

:07:08. > :07:10.High above the clouds # Now we're levitating

:07:11. > :07:19.High above the clouds # And sing it and live it

:07:20. > :07:33.It's always there Steven Wilson joins

:07:34. > :07:50.us now on the sofa. Welcome, good morning. What is prog

:07:51. > :07:54.rock? I have no idea. Actually, I have an idea. For me, proper is

:07:55. > :07:59.telling stories through music and using the album as a kind of...

:08:00. > :08:05.Something for me that is analogies with writing a novel or a movie, the

:08:06. > :08:09.long form. So you can take the listener on a musical journey that

:08:10. > :08:14.does not constrict you to the three-minute pop form. That is my

:08:15. > :08:18.definition. Talking about musical journeys, we mentioned four people

:08:19. > :08:22.in a pub in Carlisle. Is that true? And was a Tuesday night, raining,

:08:23. > :08:28.and there were four people, yes, it is true. It was a long time ago.

:08:29. > :08:34.Love the scene. You're on stage with a keyboard? Guitar. I think it is

:08:35. > :08:40.called paying your dues, and I have certainly done that. Now you are in

:08:41. > :08:51.the submitted to be at number one. Which is insane, I know. Discreetly.

:08:52. > :08:54.-- it is crazy. Why are you the most successful British musician most

:08:55. > :08:59.people have never heard of? We touched on it, this idea of

:09:00. > :09:02.progressive rock, music existing outside of the mainstream, because

:09:03. > :09:05.it is about the long form. If you want to get on the radio, being in

:09:06. > :09:18.the mainstream, you very much have to focus on this more concise pop

:09:19. > :09:23.form. Did punk Floyd -- Pink Floyd managed to do it? Yes, but it was a

:09:24. > :09:26.different era. I think now the attention spans are a little

:09:27. > :09:30.shorter, living in the age of the Internet, so if you don't conform to

:09:31. > :09:35.that format there is no platform to reach people. People new to your

:09:36. > :09:39.music, perhaps watching this now, that glimpse we saw a moment ago,

:09:40. > :09:50.that felt like something very easy to access. Yes, that is my ABBA

:09:51. > :10:00.moment. What does that mean? In my house my dad listened to things like

:10:01. > :10:04.Tubular Bells, Mike Oldfield, and my mum listened to ABBA, and I love

:10:05. > :10:08.both, but in my career I tended towards the more conceptual rock

:10:09. > :10:11.side but on the first side of this album I wrote for me what is a

:10:12. > :10:18.convincing piece of pure joyous pop music. The way you speak about it,

:10:19. > :10:23.it sounds like... I am very proud of it, happy thing. Conceptual album or

:10:24. > :10:30.song, piece of music, what the concept? Like a lot of people at the

:10:31. > :10:33.moment, I think I am looking at the world I live in and seeing the

:10:34. > :10:37.problems, so there is an element running right through the album, all

:10:38. > :10:40.about this idea it of truth as perception, what we call truth is

:10:41. > :10:47.very often not truth at all. It is filtered through our own agenda, our

:10:48. > :10:54.gender, race, politics, upbringing, and all of the songs focus on this

:10:55. > :11:01.idea of truth as perception. We will listen to Pariah from the new album,

:11:02. > :11:11.and then you can tell us how that fits in.

:11:12. > :11:48.There are no words. Yes, there are, but that was an instrument of bit.

:11:49. > :11:52.Looking at the relationship between a man and a woman, how the two

:11:53. > :11:54.people in that relationship have a completely different perception of

:11:55. > :11:59.how the relationship is working, so they're truth is very different.

:12:00. > :12:04.Sorry, one question. How long does it take you to put together a

:12:05. > :12:08.conceptual album? It takes a long time because I am looking for

:12:09. > :12:11.something... We spoke about the idea of the album as a journey and very

:12:12. > :12:14.often it is not a question of putting your best music by putting

:12:15. > :12:20.out the music that makes the most sense as a cohesive whole. When

:12:21. > :12:23.directors talk about cutting their favourite scene out of the movie

:12:24. > :12:27.because it didn't work in context, it is like that for me as well.

:12:28. > :12:30.Almost like putting together a jigsaw puzzle. How is the spotlight

:12:31. > :12:34.thing working for you? The attention? You are on breakfast

:12:35. > :12:39.television here, people putting your face to the music. As a musician I

:12:40. > :12:43.would imagine there is something quite nice about being in the

:12:44. > :12:47.shadows, and now that has all gone? Well, it hasn't all gone. This is

:12:48. > :12:51.very unusual for me to be here today. One thing about making music,

:12:52. > :12:55.if you really believe in what you do and you're passionate about and

:12:56. > :12:59.there is a natural inclination to share that with as many people as

:13:00. > :13:00.possible, so although I have been happy in a way being relatively

:13:01. > :13:16.anonymous I have also had that frustration and felt like there are

:13:17. > :13:19.a lot of people out there that if they had the opportunity to hear the

:13:20. > :13:22.music, they would like it, but they said they haven't, so I am enjoying

:13:23. > :13:25.this. Good! Lovely to see you this morning. And you want this to get to

:13:26. > :13:25.number one, obviously? Of course! Thanks, Steven.

:13:26. > :13:28.Steven's new album is called To the Bone.

:13:29. > :13:37.Look at this, Whitby, a lovely bank holiday weekend. We will leave you

:13:38. > :13:40.with some of these lovely pictures. Enjoy!
