:02:51. > :02:54.because it went over Japan. The last time that happened was nearly two

:02:55. > :02:57.decades ago. TRANSLATION: The outrageous act of firing a missile

:03:59. > :04:03.from... AUDIO ISSUES. It seems... Shinzo Abe called at unprecedented.

:04:04. > :04:09.Sorry, we lost you. Could you start again? Absolutely. I think for Japan

:04:10. > :04:15.the fact the Prime Minister has called this unprecedented represents

:04:16. > :04:20.how they view this as something extraordinary that has not happened

:04:21. > :04:24.before. We have seen it from North Korea before, but not a military

:04:25. > :04:28.ballistic missile going over Japan in this way before. It obviously

:04:29. > :04:34.makes Japan feel extremely vulnerable. It also poses a major

:04:59. > :05:04.pushing the envelope, and doing more of these launches in the future.

:06:14. > :06:18.Thousands have been saved, but many more have been desperate. From

:06:54. > :06:58.that the worst is yet to come. President Trump will travel to the

:06:59. > :07:04.state today. He has promised rapid Federal aid. Texas will need it.

:07:23. > :07:25.it needed to get serious about the withdrawal talks.

:07:26. > :07:27.The EU's chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, has expressed

:07:28. > :07:30.concern about the lack of progress made so far and accused Britain

:09:39. > :09:41.carpet event last night to mark the show's first launch

:09:42. > :09:43.since the death of Sir Bruce Forsyth.

:09:44. > :09:46.Judge Bruno Tonioli paid tribute to the show's former host on a night

:09:52. > :10:06.Glitterballs and glamour, the new celebrities. They gathered for their

:10:07. > :10:11.launch show. The first to be broadcast since the death of Sir

:10:12. > :10:16.Bruce Forsyth. There will of course be a special tribute. He will always

:10:17. > :10:22.be with us. He is part of the show, our lives, the country. He is with

:10:23. > :10:26.us. As in previous series, the programme will be aiming to deliver

:10:27. > :10:33.entertainment, and perhaps even the odd surprise. Richard, we saw you

:10:34. > :10:39.coming down the red carpet. You have got some moves. I have. I don't know

:10:40. > :10:45.if they will be good for anyone. But they are bubbling like a volcano.

:10:46. > :10:49.You have watched Strictly Come Dancing as if you are. As a

:10:50. > :10:56.contestant? I will make sure I enjoyed it. -- as a viewer. I hope I

:10:57. > :11:03.don't get too nervous. Have you got any advice? She is so excited about

:11:04. > :11:09.me doing this. I have not got advice yet. But she will give me many tips.

:11:10. > :11:16.You are the first contestant to be in the show with a disability. How

:11:17. > :11:21.do you feel being a trailblazer? It shows the way that life in the show

:11:22. > :11:26.is going in general. The country is becoming more inclusive. As well as

:11:27. > :11:33.new contestants, there is also a new head judge. Taking over from Len

:11:34. > :11:42.Goodman. I don't feel much pressure. I have a good amount of experience.

:11:43. > :11:47.We will see on the night. Next month's launch show will give the

:11:48. > :11:51.public their first chance to see the new contestants in action. It will

:11:52. > :11:57.also be an opportunity for the programme and the viewers to

:11:58. > :11:59.remember Sir Bruce, a man who made Strictly Come Dancing one of the

:12:00. > :12:00.most popular shows on TV. BBC News. They have a few weeks to

:12:01. > :12:15.loosen up. Let's get an update on the flooding

:12:16. > :12:18.situation in Texas, which has dominated headlines

:12:19. > :12:20.all over the weekend. There's also been a declaration

:12:21. > :12:23.of a state of emergency CBS News correspondent, Meg Oliver,

:12:24. > :12:37.is in Houston for us now. Tell us, what is the latest

:12:38. > :12:47.situation? It hasn't even stopped raining! The rain just won't quit.

:12:48. > :12:55.It pounded Houston for a fourth consecutive day. It just picked up.

:12:56. > :13:00.It has gotten 40 inches of rain. By tomorrow morning, we could have

:13:01. > :13:10.another foot. Nothing is getting in the way of search and rescue cruise.

:13:11. > :13:17.There have been rescue operations all day. They have asked people to

:13:18. > :13:21.put flags on their roofs so they can be located. It has been an

:13:22. > :13:24.overwhelming job for the first responders. They have been asking

:13:25. > :13:30.for volunteers and the volunteers have responded. All day long we have

:13:31. > :13:35.seen dozens and dozens of people driving into Houston trying to

:13:36. > :13:38.navigate the flood ravaged highways. They were telling fishing boats

:13:39. > :13:43.behind them. Some people have come all the way from Louisiana. One

:13:44. > :13:48.person came from the New York police department who drove all the way

:13:49. > :13:53.down. They are here to help. They are willing to stay as long as it

:13:54. > :13:59.takes to rescue the remaining people still trapped. While we are talking

:14:00. > :14:03.to you we are seeing pictures of people being rescued. Overnight I

:14:04. > :14:07.read desperate messages of people on social media reporting they are on

:14:08. > :14:12.roofs and needing help. What is going on? Social media has really

:14:13. > :14:18.played an important role in all of this. There was one picture, a very

:14:19. > :14:25.moving picture, of senior citizens that were in waist high water. That

:14:26. > :14:29.was as soon as Hurricane Harvey hit. The owners of the care home could

:14:30. > :14:35.not get to them. They put it on social media. Quickly, the rescue

:14:36. > :14:40.teams were able to rescue them. That is the kind of thing that has been

:14:41. > :14:44.going on over and over again. If you cannot get there, at least you know

:14:45. > :14:52.people are being heard, cries for help are being heard. 75,000 people

:14:53. > :15:00.have called the 911 system. On an average day they get 8000. Thank you

:15:01. > :15:11.very much indeed. And now someone else in the US. The US Open. Not

:15:12. > :15:16.good news for the finest of Britain. We expected so much from Johanna

:15:17. > :15:20.Konta after Wimbledon. Playing on a surface that is not her favourite.

:15:21. > :15:33.You would expect she would do better at the US Open. It hasn't gone well.

:15:34. > :15:39.The world number seven was among the favourites for the title. She could

:15:40. > :15:47.have ended the tournament as world number one. The world number 78

:15:48. > :15:50.crawled back to pull off one of her biggest victory is. Juana contests

:15:51. > :15:59.said she simply played better. Kyle Edmund is through to the next round.

:16:00. > :16:07.The British youngster outside the top 200 has also made it through.

:16:08. > :16:10.England will look to bowl out the West Indies today to secure

:16:11. > :16:12.victory in the second test at Headingley.

:16:13. > :16:15.England built a lead of over 300 runs yesterday,

:16:16. > :16:17.before declaring in the final session.

:16:18. > :16:20.And Alex Oxlade Chamberlain is on the brink of joining Chelsea

:16:21. > :16:24.The England midfielder has started every game for the gunners this

:16:25. > :16:27.season, but has refused a deal to remain at the Emirates with just

:16:28. > :16:40.I am sure we will be talking about that story in the paper review in a

:16:41. > :16:49.moment. Not a happy camp. Here's Carol with a look

:16:50. > :17:01.at this morning's weather. Details on Houston as well as the

:17:02. > :17:15.local weather. When Harvey made landfall, he was a category format.

:17:16. > :17:21.--4. Part of the problem with him is that he is half onshore and half

:17:22. > :17:26.inland. He is driving further inland and weakening that one. Warm waters

:17:27. > :17:32.of the Gulf of Mexico in the night it is still picking up a source of

:17:33. > :17:37.energy. All that water is being deposited as we have seen footage.

:17:38. > :17:40.You can see the amount of rainfall, over one metre which has left the

:17:41. > :17:47.catastrophic situation that we have got. This is what's left of Harvey.

:17:48. > :17:57.An improving the situation across parts of Texas. Bringing some less

:17:58. > :18:03.than favourable situation is for the wheezy armour. Turning cooler for

:18:04. > :18:09.ask, parts of the south-east could see that once again. A weather front

:18:10. > :18:14.is sinking south, introducing a fair bit of cloud. Breezy in the north,

:18:15. > :18:19.sunshine and showers. In the south, cloud. Some patchy rain coming out

:18:20. > :18:25.of this and some murky conditions. The same across Wales. Drifting into

:18:26. > :18:28.northern England, this is where our weather front is resting. For

:18:29. > :18:36.Scotland, Northern Ireland and far north England, eight writers start

:18:37. > :18:40.with sunshine and a few showers. With the isobars, also fairly

:18:41. > :18:45.breezy. Temperatures in Aberdeen starting at about 10 degrees. Parts

:18:46. > :18:49.of the far north thing sunshine. Here is this weather front as we

:18:50. > :18:52.drift into the south-east. Some cloud this morning and into the

:18:53. > :19:00.afternoon. Could produce the odd shower. Here is where we will see

:19:01. > :19:05.the highest temperatures. In some parts of the south-east, we could

:19:06. > :19:10.get up to 28 degrees. All aware we have got the cloud. In the north,

:19:11. > :19:17.temperatures not dissimilar to what we saw yesterday. A range from the

:19:18. > :19:21.mid- - high teens. Getting into the south-east and bringing cloud with

:19:22. > :19:28.it, clearer skies. Showers following behind. A band of rain coming from

:19:29. > :19:31.the south-west. Meeting in the direction of Lincolnshire. Tonight,

:19:32. > :19:38.temperatures generally in double figures. Cooler in rural areas.

:19:39. > :19:44.Tomorrow, two bands of rain in the south-east. North of that, sunshine

:19:45. > :19:51.and showers. Quite easy. In the south-east, we could have 28. There

:19:52. > :19:59.could be a temperature of the least 10 degrees. Into the weekend, just

:20:00. > :20:06.to show you the contrast, some sheltered parts of Scotland could be

:20:07. > :20:11.looking at a touch of frost. What a contrast.

:20:12. > :20:26.Time to have a look at the papers. The launch of Strictly is all over

:20:27. > :20:35.the papers. Mollie is one of the favourites this year. And Brexit

:20:36. > :20:47.talks descend into a slanging match as we are told to behave seriously.

:20:48. > :20:54.Yesterday, we mentioned a child who was put into a foster family, a

:20:55. > :21:02.Christian girl who was put in to a Muslim care home. And I liked this

:21:03. > :21:08.story, you are never too old to start getting fit. Even if you start

:21:09. > :21:17.in your 40s and 50s, it can halve your risk of a stroke. It is never

:21:18. > :21:28.too late. The Daily Mirror, Strictly is all over, and breast cancer

:21:29. > :21:33.statins. Painkillers in racing blood pressure for arthritis sufferers.

:21:34. > :21:45.Also quite a lot of pictures of the magic weather from the bank holiday.

:21:46. > :21:50.I have talked before about the bank of Mum and dad helping people buy

:21:51. > :21:55.houses, now there is a story in the Telegraph about parents having to

:21:56. > :22:02.fork out for rent for their kids as well. Research found that parents

:22:03. > :22:10.will find ?2.3 billion of rental payments in 2017, on top of the over

:22:11. > :22:16.$6 billion that they have paid out in mortgage repayments on behalf of

:22:17. > :22:23.their children. We talked this morning about plastic bags. Quite an

:22:24. > :22:27.incredible story. We have to pay 5p in most stores for a plastic bag. We

:22:28. > :22:32.were talking about how Tesco are going to start charging more than

:22:33. > :22:40.that. In Kenya, it is quite different. If you use a plastic bag,

:22:41. > :22:44.you could face four years in prison. They have got the toughest laws

:22:45. > :22:50.against pollution. Anyone who sells or uses a plastic bag would face

:22:51. > :22:55.prison and fines. Even if you arrive at the airport as a tourist, if you

:22:56. > :23:00.have duty-free in a plastic bag and you leave the airport, you are in

:23:01. > :23:06.trouble. You have to leave them at the airport. I will chat about

:23:07. > :23:16.Arsenal in my next autumn. I don't want to miss this story. This is the

:23:17. > :23:23.world's leading mammal, saying that middle-aged men need to be careful

:23:24. > :23:30.in lycra -- Mamil. He says, never wear an aerodynamic helmet unless

:23:31. > :23:40.you are taking part in a time trial at the Olympics. Good advice. See

:23:41. > :23:41.you both later on. Texas is preparing for more flooding

:23:42. > :23:44.as Storm Harvey continues to move Thousands of people have already

:23:45. > :23:48.been rescued in Houston and officials are expecting another

:23:49. > :23:50.half-a-million people to seek Let's speak now to Alan Becerill

:23:51. > :23:56.who's at home in Houston, in the centre of some

:23:57. > :24:01.of the worst flooding. What's the situation

:24:02. > :24:15.where you are now? Good morning. Thank you for having

:24:16. > :24:21.me. Right now we still have reined in the area. It comes and goes.

:24:22. > :24:25.Sometimes it is light, sometimes it is heavy. Conditions keep changing

:24:26. > :24:38.every hour around the area. I live close to the Buffalo by you, one of

:24:39. > :24:52.the biggest exit damns in the area -- Bayou. -- dams. A reservoir in

:24:53. > :24:56.the area, if that opens, that will make the area a lot worse here

:24:57. > :25:03.because it has already experienced a lot of water. You think you will

:25:04. > :25:08.have to leave your home soon? The condition from the authorities is,

:25:09. > :25:12.if you are safe in your home, stay where you are. Most of the roads are

:25:13. > :25:17.blocked. The major interstate highways are on the way. It is

:25:18. > :25:24.difficult to go anywhere. Close to downtown, there is shelter.

:25:25. > :25:30.Authorities have created that. Right now, they have close to 5000 people

:25:31. > :25:36.in that area. They keep moving people from the south and the

:25:37. > :25:41.south-west, from the West and north, you can see the authorities going

:25:42. > :25:49.back and forward with helicopters, trucks, fire trucks. So it is a very

:25:50. > :25:51.challenging situation right now. Getting water supplies,

:25:52. > :25:57.nonperishable foods, that is all we can do at this point in time.

:25:58. > :26:00.Fortunately, we have not lost electricity, that is a big

:26:01. > :26:08.advantage. Hopefully it will stay that way. Thank you for talking to

:26:09. > :26:19.us. Please stay safe. Moving now to a town outside of Houston. What is

:26:20. > :26:23.going on there at the moment? To be honest, we have been pretty lucky.

:26:24. > :26:30.It is still raining, it has been raining constantly since Friday

:26:31. > :26:36.afternoon. Especially the last 12- 24 hours, they have been horrific.

:26:37. > :26:40.The systems around here are keeping us above water, but like everyone

:26:41. > :26:49.else, we need to keep an eye on things. We need to keep an eye on

:26:50. > :26:53.the bayous. I have been very fortunate to this point but I have

:26:54. > :26:57.to keep an eye on the situation closely. Talking about supplies, can

:26:58. > :27:09.you get the food and water that you need? We pretty much stocked up

:27:10. > :27:14.before this hurricane hit, I went to some local supermarkets. The ones

:27:15. > :27:22.that were open and had very long lines. Very limited access to

:27:23. > :27:27.anything. I would honestly say that that is a major concern of mine, as

:27:28. > :27:32.well as flooding, getting my hands on groceries and basic things that

:27:33. > :27:40.you need to live. Lots of luck, please stay safe. Thank you for

:27:41. > :27:44.joining us. The scale of flooding is terrible, it is getting worse.

:27:45. > :31:09.Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

:31:10. > :31:12.I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom

:31:13. > :31:17.This is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin

:31:18. > :31:22.We'll have news and sport in just a moment.

:31:23. > :31:25.And also on Breakfast this morning, we'll be live at the new billion

:31:26. > :31:27.pound Queensferry Crossing between Edinburgh and Fife

:31:28. > :31:28.where last night the first ceremonial crossings over

:31:29. > :31:31.Are there more uninsured drivers on our roads?

:31:32. > :31:34.New figures suggests there are and we'll be finding out

:31:35. > :31:48.And exploring the psychopathic mind, using new letters written by Moors

:31:49. > :31:50.murderer Ian Brady, a new documentary looks

:31:51. > :31:56.at whether psychopaths are born or made?

:31:57. > :32:02.A fascinating question, that, isn't it?

:32:03. > :32:04.But now, a summary of this morning's main news.

:32:05. > :32:08.The United Nations Security Council is to hold an emergency meeting this

:32:09. > :32:10.afternoon, after North Korea fired a ballistic missile over northern

:32:11. > :32:14.The missile, which fell into the sea, triggered loudspeaker

:32:15. > :32:18.alerts warning people on the island of Hokkaido to take cover.

:32:19. > :32:20.Japan's Prime Minister said the launch represented a serious

:32:21. > :32:27.The Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, said he was outraged.

:32:28. > :32:29.Let's go to our news correspondent Yogida Limaye,

:32:30. > :32:33.who joins us now from the South Korean capital of Seoul.

:32:34. > :32:44.Good morning. What has the reaction been? We have seen a strong response

:32:45. > :32:46.from South Korea. The president has ordered his military to display

:32:47. > :32:53.overwhelming force against North Korea. Four South Korean fighter

:32:54. > :33:00.jets conducted a live bombing drill against the North Korean leadership,

:33:01. > :33:03.a mock drill conducted here. It is significant. In the past three weeks

:33:04. > :33:07.all we have heard from the president is diplomacy and a peaceful

:33:08. > :33:11.resolution to the situation. But the latest testing from North Korea

:33:12. > :33:16.seems to have left him with no option but to respond with force. We

:33:17. > :33:20.also know that top military officers from South Korea and the US have

:33:21. > :33:28.spoken to each other and have said more measures are coming, but they

:33:29. > :33:36.have not said what they will be. Thank you so much.

:33:37. > :33:39.The "catastrophic" flooding in Texas is expected to get much worse,

:33:40. > :33:41.with officials warning they expect nearly half-a-million people

:33:42. > :33:44.With waters still rising, helicopters and hundreds

:33:45. > :33:47.of specialist vehicles have been deployed in the rescue effort.

:33:48. > :33:49.An emergency has also been declared in neighbouring Louisiana,

:33:50. > :33:55.Brexit negotiations are continuing in Brussels after the EU told the UK

:33:56. > :33:57.it needed to get serious about the withdrawal talks.

:33:58. > :34:00.The EU's chief negotiator Michel Barnier has expressed concern

:34:01. > :34:03.about the lack of progress made so far and accused Britain

:34:04. > :34:05.of ambiguity on key issues like its exit bill.

:34:06. > :34:08.The UK Brexit Secretary David Davis said both sides had to show

:34:09. > :34:15.The source of a suspected chemical haze which drifted in from the sea

:34:16. > :34:17.yesterday in Sussex is still not known.

:34:18. > :34:20.People on several beaches had to be evacuated and around 150 people

:34:21. > :34:22.received hospital treatment after reporting vomiting and irritation.

:34:23. > :34:26.Officers say they don't now believe the toxic cloud came from northern

:34:27. > :34:38.More than half of us who were mis-sold payment protection

:34:39. > :34:40.insurance, or PPI, may not yet have claimed compensation.

:34:41. > :34:43.The Financial Conduct Authority, is launching a campaign today

:34:44. > :34:45.encouraging people to claim before a deadline runs out

:34:46. > :35:00.So far, ?27 billion has been paid out in compensation.

:35:01. > :35:07.Now, Notting Hill Carnival, it always throws up something. Have you

:35:08. > :35:09.seen this? I have not. A dancing policeman has become

:35:10. > :35:11.the star of this year's Notting Carnival, after video of him

:35:12. > :35:14.showing off his moves went viral PC Daniel Graham kept crowds

:35:15. > :35:20.entertained with his body-popping. He's no stranger to taking

:35:21. > :35:22.centre-stage though, he was also a contestant on last

:35:23. > :35:38.year's Britain's Got Talent. Look at that! Where does he... How

:35:39. > :35:47.did he learn that? Absolutely fantastic. Look at the crowd. The

:35:48. > :35:54.guy on the PA was giving him some love. Just get him involved in the

:35:55. > :36:03.next few weeks. Was a brilliant idea. I love that they were trying

:36:04. > :36:10.to persuade him to start dancing and he is pretending he doesn't want to.

:36:11. > :36:14.I watched it 25 times yesterday and you start noticing things happening

:36:15. > :36:25.in the background. There are a couple having a an argument in the

:36:26. > :36:28.background. I was transfixed in it. How is that for drama? I have got

:36:29. > :36:31.some drama for you, I am afraid. A dramatic opening day at the US

:36:32. > :36:35.Open where Maria Sharapova beat Sharapova was playing

:36:36. > :36:38.in her first grand slam event And Britain's Johanna Konta suffered

:36:39. > :36:42.a shock first-round defeat against unseeded Serbian

:36:43. > :36:43.Aleksandra Krunic. The world number seven was among

:36:44. > :36:46.the favourites for the title and could have ended the tournament

:36:47. > :36:49.as world number one. Konta won the first set,

:36:50. > :36:52.but the world number 78 fought back to pull off one of her

:36:53. > :36:59.biggest victories. It would be quite obnoxious of me to

:37:00. > :37:03.come in here expecting that I have a right to be in the second round. I

:37:04. > :37:07.am very much aware that to get that opportunity I need to work very

:37:08. > :37:12.hard. So, me losing in the first round is not ideal, as it is not for

:37:13. > :37:17.anybody. Anybody coming here wants to be in for as long as possible.

:37:18. > :37:19.But I lost to a better player today. Unfortunately, that is how sport

:37:20. > :37:19.goes. And Heather Watson's poor run

:37:20. > :37:22.at Flushing Meadows continues. She was knocked out by Alize Cornet

:37:23. > :37:26.in saight sets in the first round. Despite winning the junior

:37:27. > :37:28.tournament in 2009, it's the seventh successive year the British number

:37:29. > :37:32.two has gone out in the first round. She's yet to win a match

:37:33. > :37:43.at the US Open as a senior. It was a better day

:37:44. > :37:46.for Britain's men though. Kyle Edmund won his first

:37:47. > :37:48.round match against Robin Hasse He's joined in the second

:37:49. > :37:52.round by youngster Cameron Norrie after his opponent, Dmitry Tursonov

:37:53. > :37:54.retired through injury Norrie, who is ranked outside

:37:55. > :37:58.the world's top 200, was leading by two sets

:37:59. > :38:02.to love at the time. England have a lead of 321 over

:38:03. > :38:06.the West Indies in the second test going into the final

:38:07. > :38:08.days play at Headingley. England had the better of day four,

:38:09. > :38:11.with six batsmen scoring at least half centuries in

:38:12. > :38:13.the second innings. But the innings of the day went

:38:14. > :38:18.to Moeen Ali, who scored 84 off A win for England

:38:19. > :38:43.will seal the series. The last day pitch, as a spinner,

:38:44. > :38:53.you always look how it will go. Nice for the seamers. It is heart when it

:38:54. > :38:54.is overcast. Hopefully I can get out to bowl tomorrow. -- hard.

:38:55. > :38:57.With the football transfer window closing in two days' time clubs

:38:58. > :39:01.Ant it appears that Alex Oxlade Chamberlain is set

:39:02. > :39:05.The England midfielder has started every game for the gunners this

:39:06. > :39:09.season, but has refused a deal to remain at the Emirates with just

:39:10. > :39:13.Arsenal are looking to make some money from his transfer now,

:39:14. > :39:15.rather than lose him for nothing next summer.

:39:16. > :39:18.Tour de France champion Chris Froome is considering competing

:39:19. > :39:20.in the World Championships in Norway next month.

:39:21. > :39:22.Froome, who's currently leading the Vuelta a Espana,

:39:23. > :39:25.says he's considering both the team and individual time trials.

:39:26. > :39:28.He last rode in the World Championships in 2013 when GB won

:39:29. > :39:33.You would think he might want a rest.

:39:34. > :39:35.Great Britain's Ashley McKenzie was eliminated on day one

:39:36. > :39:37.at the World Judo Championships in Budapest.

:39:38. > :39:40.The two-time Olympian lost in his opening bout in the under

:39:41. > :39:45.British Judo has sent a team of 12 athletes to the event in Hungary

:39:46. > :39:47.including Rio Olympic bronze medallist Sally Conway

:39:48. > :40:05.That is the thing with judo, one mistake and it is over, and I made

:40:06. > :40:11.that mistake. I will assess it. I had to try my hardest to get out of

:40:12. > :40:18.the pinning, but unfortunately I did not. I promised you a story about

:40:19. > :40:25.Arsenal. They are on every front page. It is talking about the broken

:40:26. > :40:29.dressing room. They were defeated 4-0 on the weekend. You would

:40:30. > :40:36.imagine Arsene Wenger would have got an angry, raged, been mortified.

:40:37. > :40:50.According to this he was silent. He was so angry he did not speak. But

:40:51. > :40:56.you might want him to have something to say. What is going on with them?

:40:57. > :41:03.Maybe he needs to be more vocal. I think fans want him to be furious.

:41:04. > :41:05.They want anger. Interesting to see what happens in the next game. Thank

:41:06. > :41:06.you. Britain's busiest railway station

:41:07. > :41:09.is open for business as usual this morning after nearly a month

:41:10. > :41:12.of disruption but some minor delays are expected due

:41:13. > :41:13.to signalling issues. Almost half of the platforms

:41:14. > :41:17.at Waterloo Station have been closed since the fifth of August

:41:18. > :41:19.as engineers made changes Our reporter, Simon Clemison,

:41:20. > :41:24.joins us from Waterloo now. Simon, are services

:41:25. > :41:33.running as expected? Good morning. So, what are the

:41:34. > :41:41.timetable is looking like for today? Any delays? Good morning. Listen to

:41:42. > :41:47.this. It is the gentle buyers of the early-morning commute. -- buzz. It

:41:48. > :41:51.might be strange to want to listen to it after the Bank Holiday

:41:52. > :41:56.weekend. But that is what it is about. Getting Waterloo Station back

:41:57. > :42:01.up to full capacity, in fact, even greater capacity. That is what this

:42:02. > :42:06.engineering work has been about. I have to say, it has not gone

:42:07. > :42:18.according to plan for NetworkRail this morning. You can see delays and

:42:19. > :42:23.cancellations. There have been ?800 million worth of engineering work

:42:24. > :42:27.undertaken here to create longer platforms and have four longer

:42:28. > :42:32.trains. It has been described as some of the biggest and most complex

:42:33. > :42:36.work ever done by the company. For that reason, they say they are

:42:37. > :42:40.having complexities and problems with signalling this morning. For

:42:41. > :42:46.safety, it is putting delays on the early services. How that will pan

:42:47. > :42:50.out during the day, we don't know. I have seen trains starting to come

:42:51. > :43:01.and go from here, so it is looking hopeful. And also to say, it is

:43:02. > :43:07.confusing, we have seen works at Euston and so on, London Bridge. A

:43:08. > :43:12.whole series of works peaked during the Bank Holiday weekend. They are

:43:13. > :43:18.trying to get back to normality. They may be doing it. It does not

:43:19. > :43:24.look very busy. You get the feeling many people are still on holiday. It

:43:25. > :43:27.is a slow return to normal. What an amazing Bank Holiday yesterday.

:43:28. > :43:31.Terrible weather elsewhere in the world. We will have that soon. The

:43:32. > :43:37.headlines. North Korea has fired a missile over

:43:38. > :43:40.northern Japan in a move the Japanese Prime Minister has

:43:41. > :43:43.called an "unprecedented" threat President Trump has pledged his full

:43:44. > :43:47.support for the state of Texas as the region continues to be hit

:43:48. > :43:50.by "catastrophic" flooding caused Yesterday saw the hottest

:43:51. > :43:58.late-August bank holiday Monday on record, with 28.2 degrees celsius

:43:59. > :44:01.at Holbeach in Lincolnshire. Before we get the latest from Carol,

:44:02. > :44:05.our cameras have been out and about capturing your fun

:44:06. > :44:44.in the sun, let's take a look It sounded like a Grade Two piano

:44:45. > :45:19.piece. Good morning. Today, somewhere in Kent could hit

:45:20. > :45:25.21 degrees. Another statistic is that, if you are at all moral

:45:26. > :45:29.yesterday, you will notice a huge difference. The temperature will

:45:30. > :45:36.pick up through the day. For many of us, cool. Quite a bit cooler than

:45:37. > :45:43.yesterday for some. It is also fairly easy. This weather front is

:45:44. > :45:51.fairly weak, producing quite a lot of cloud and murky conditions.

:45:52. > :45:57.Patchy rain across south-west England and Wales. Extending through

:45:58. > :46:03.Yorkshire. To the north, a brighter start. The same across Northern

:46:04. > :46:09.Ireland. One or two showers and a brighter start across Scotland.

:46:10. > :46:14.Temperatures dropping, and showers mainly in the north and west. 14

:46:15. > :46:20.Celsius at eight o'clock in Newcastle. Then, back into some

:46:21. > :46:27.clearer skies in the south-east and East Anglia. Temperatures picking up

:46:28. > :46:32.quickly. Temperature is flirting of the coast of Kent, showers could

:46:33. > :46:39.come off the shore or push away. Through the day, that weather front

:46:40. > :46:43.pushing south-east. It won't get here with the wind offshore. Feeling

:46:44. > :46:48.nice, high temperatures up to 28 degrees. On the other side of that

:46:49. > :46:53.front, much cooler than it was yesterday. And it will be the same

:46:54. > :46:58.underneath the weather front. Tonight and overnight, this weather

:46:59. > :47:02.front pushing down into the south-east. Some spots of rain.

:47:03. > :47:07.Showers coming in on the breeze from the northern half of the country. We

:47:08. > :47:11.have got a band of rain across south-west England, Wales, into the

:47:12. > :47:16.Midlands. Heading in the direction of Yorkshire. Not a cold night, but

:47:17. > :47:21.it will be in the countryside. Tomorrow, a band of rain. A second

:47:22. > :47:30.one coming back into the south-east. That will have an inverse impact on

:47:31. > :47:35.our temperatures. Tomorrow could be 10 degrees lower than today. On the

:47:36. > :47:42.other side, back into a cocktail of sunshine and showers. Breezy in the

:47:43. > :47:48.north, high temperatures 16- 17. Thank you.

:47:49. > :47:51.Hundreds of the UK's biggest companies will be made to reveal how

:47:52. > :47:53.much more their chief executives are paid compared

:47:54. > :47:57.It's part of government plans to increase transparency

:47:58. > :48:07.The government are trying to do something about it.

:48:08. > :48:10.The pay packages of some of our top bosses can be tens

:48:11. > :48:14.Sometimes these high pay packets are challenged by the company's

:48:15. > :48:16.shareholders - but that hasn't stopped many of

:48:17. > :48:19.Today's measures are designed to change that.

:48:20. > :48:23.Under the proposals firms that have seen a shareholder revolt on pay

:48:24. > :48:33.will be named on a new public register.

:48:34. > :48:35.This is one step removed from the original proposal

:48:36. > :48:38.which was to give shareholders a veto on excessive executive pay.

:48:39. > :48:42.Hundreds of our biggest companies will also be forced to reveal how

:48:43. > :48:44.much their chief executives get compared to their average employee.

:48:45. > :48:48.And there are new measures to ensure the employee's voice is heard

:48:49. > :48:52.But it's a step back from having workers on the committees that set

:48:53. > :48:57.Let's talk to Dr Roger Barker who's from the Institute of Directors.

:48:58. > :49:03.Good morning. What are your thoughts on this? Will it have much of an

:49:04. > :49:06.impact? We welcome this as a broadly sensible package of measures, but I

:49:07. > :49:10.don't think it is going to have a huge impact. If you look at what the

:49:11. > :49:14.Prime Minister proposed about a year ago, it is a much less ambitious

:49:15. > :49:17.proposal. That is because of the politics of racks that and

:49:18. > :49:20.everything that has happened over the last year. Broadly speaking, we

:49:21. > :49:26.welcome it. What are your thoughts on how we solve the problem of

:49:27. > :49:29.controversy around CEO pay? It is very important that investors

:49:30. > :49:37.continue to play a very act gives role in holding CEO pay to account.

:49:38. > :49:42.They have shareholder votes every year which they can use to show

:49:43. > :49:46.their discontent or a approval. They have got to keep the pressure on. It

:49:47. > :49:50.is shareholders that should be holding companies to account. The

:49:51. > :49:56.Prime Minister was talking about how the excesses of some bosses are

:49:57. > :50:03.undermining confidence in the social fabric of the country. Do you agree?

:50:04. > :50:07.Yes, if you look at the pay of losses of large companies over the

:50:08. > :50:11.last 10- 15 years, it has really outstripped the performance of the

:50:12. > :50:15.companies themselves and the economy as a whole. I don't think that does

:50:16. > :50:22.anything good to trust in UK businesses. Wards and CEOs,

:50:23. > :50:26.shareholders, they all have a responsibility to try and get this

:50:27. > :50:33.issue under control. Another idea is about having employees' voices heard

:50:34. > :50:37.in the boardroom. Of course, that means you have to have an employee

:50:38. > :50:43.in the boardroom. What do you think that will mean in practice? What

:50:44. > :50:47.they are proposing is that companies are given a choice as to how they

:50:48. > :50:54.can include the employee voice in the boardroom. There are various

:50:55. > :50:58.options given to companies. I think that is a better approach than

:50:59. > :51:03.saying, you must have an employee sitting on your board or committee,

:51:04. > :51:07.because I think companies are different. They have different ways

:51:08. > :51:16.of taking account of the employee voice. Getting a bit more

:52:21. > :52:25.hard it is to find, but here it is, the original set of the short lived

:52:26. > :52:45.so, Eldorado. Intact, and abandoned. It all feels a bit Indiana Jones.

:53:18. > :53:24.There were good act is, good storylines here. It was beautiful.

:53:25. > :53:30.Would you want to bring Eldorado back? Yes, why not? There are a lot

:53:31. > :53:37.of people, when I worked in a show or do something, they ask, what

:53:38. > :53:41.happened to Eldorado? -- actors. She is not the only one who would love

:53:42. > :53:47.to see it return. 10 million watched the final episode, but what would

:53:48. > :53:51.today's storyline be? I went in search of the real-life Eldorado set

:53:52. > :54:00.on the Costa del Sol. The jive class was in full swing. Is this Eldorado?

:54:01. > :54:08.I think it is. It seems like Heaven. It is. Of course, Eldorado in 1992

:08:01. > :08:20.What can we expect to take place today? It is day two of round three

:08:21. > :08:25.and we are being warned it will all be very technical. We are told not

:08:26. > :08:29.to expect any breakthroughs. If you look at the scoreboard of where we

:08:30. > :08:33.are, there is still quite a lot of a disagreement. The issue of rights of

:08:43. > :08:46.right to Beacon -- guaranteed on the issue of Northern Ireland and the

:08:55. > :08:59.described it as the magical thinking and it was too waffly with not

:09:00. > :09:03.enough detail and policy proposals. On the big issues of money and how

:09:04. > :09:07.much money the UK owes the EU for its financial obligations, there is

:09:08. > :09:15.a massive dispute that and what the UK side is going to do it pick

:09:16. > :09:20.apart. The EU wants to talk about how much money they have. We will

:09:21. > :09:22.tell you at the end of the week what they have decided. It sounds like

:09:23. > :09:23.it's going very well. Britain's busiest railway station

:09:24. > :09:26.is open for business as usual this morning after nearly

:09:27. > :09:28.a month of disruption, but some minor delays are expected

:12:18. > :12:22.the public their first chance to see It will also be an opportunity

:12:23. > :12:28.for the programme and the viewers to remember Sir Bruce,

:12:29. > :12:50.a man who helped make Strictly one Back to the main story. North Korea

:12:51. > :12:56.has fired a missile over Japan. The missile was launched shortly after

:12:57. > :13:01.6am local time from a site close to the North Korean capital, John

:13:02. > :13:05.Young. It flew nearly 3000 kilometres and over the northern

:13:06. > :13:11.Japanese island of Hokkaido, triggering warning sirens.

:13:12. > :13:13.The Japanese Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, said the launch

:13:14. > :13:16.was an unprecedented, serious, and grave threat to his nation.

:13:17. > :13:19.North Korea has fired rockets over Japan twice in the past

:13:20. > :13:23.- once in 1998 and again in 2009 - but on those occasions Pyongyang

:13:24. > :13:25.claimed those they were satellite launches, not weapons.

:13:26. > :13:27.Just before midnight, Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson

:13:28. > :13:30.tweeted that he was "outraged" by what he called North Korea's

:13:31. > :13:33.Joining us from our Southampton newsroom is a former Nato Commander,

:13:34. > :13:43.and security expert, Rear Admiral Chris Parry.

:13:44. > :13:52.Thank you for joining us. How serious is this? What we are seeing

:13:53. > :13:56.is a change in tactics from North Korea. They were thoroughly

:13:57. > :13:59.frightened off by what America said they would do to them if they

:14:00. > :14:04.continue down this path. What they are doing now is trying to provoke

:14:05. > :14:08.America's allies in the region. What we need to understand is the context

:14:09. > :14:13.in which this decision are being made. North Korea, as a regime, is

:14:14. > :14:21.possibly on its last legs. You have extensive salmon, droughts, and used

:14:22. > :14:26.are seeing the start of significant unrest -- famine. All the costs

:14:27. > :14:33.involved in this nuclear programme and it really can't get off the

:14:34. > :14:36.train. What it is doing is trying to get attacked so it can project

:14:37. > :14:42.outwards all the problems it has internally. Do you think that will

:14:43. > :14:46.happen? Rola with these sorts of actions, they are feeling the water.

:14:47. > :14:50.This is something that has happened before -- with these sorts of

:14:51. > :14:55.actions. I wouldn't say the rocket were guided over Japan. They have

:14:56. > :14:59.gone for one of America's allies in the region and I think they will

:15:00. > :15:03.step up the aggravation the more desperate the situation gets in

:15:04. > :15:08.North Korea. And if this is a regime on its last legs, to you think

:15:09. > :15:12.that's what makes it more dangerous? Yes, indeed. We need to understand

:15:13. > :15:16.if you look at the end of the Second World War, you had an Nazi regime

:15:17. > :15:21.that was completed -- committed to fight to the last surrender. If you

:15:22. > :15:25.back them into a corner, they will lash out. I think we will seek

:15:26. > :15:29.escalating levels of violence. The next thing we might need to look out

:15:30. > :15:32.for is the possibility of an underground nuclear test around

:15:33. > :15:36.September nine which is a big celebration day in North Korea and

:15:37. > :15:40.think the intelligence suggests that preparations are being made to that.

:15:41. > :15:44.Another demonstration of how you push outwards all your problems. If

:15:45. > :15:49.you look on social media at the moment, I detect you are seeing

:15:50. > :15:54.increasing unrest in North Korea. Can you also explain to us, the

:15:55. > :15:59.Japanese, there were warnings in Hokkaido. Why would they not shoot

:16:00. > :16:02.it down? Two reasons. One, they probably couldn't because they don't

:16:03. > :16:08.have the system that is deployed to South Korea. I also think they

:16:09. > :16:12.probably plotted its trajectory as it passed overhead, 350 miles above

:16:13. > :16:17.Japan, saw that it would pass over the top and thought, well, actually,

:16:18. > :16:22.we don't want to undercover Alt best systems, when need to save them for

:16:23. > :16:25.the day where we actually do see a missile coming in to land on

:16:26. > :16:28.Japanese territory. I do think we shouldn't be in any doubt that

:16:29. > :16:31.foreign ballistic missile is over other peoples country since all

:16:32. > :16:35.sorts of signals which could be interpreted the wrong way sometimes.

:16:36. > :16:39.Absolutely. It sounds like an extreme dangerous situation. We know

:16:40. > :16:42.there is a meeting later this afternoon with the UN Security

:16:43. > :16:44.Council. What can be done to bring down the pressure and make things

:16:45. > :16:53.better in some ways? I think there has to be a unanimous

:16:54. > :17:00.vote today to say to North Korea, enough is enough. You are not just

:17:01. > :17:06.upsetting the US and its allies, you are upsetting the rest of the world.

:17:07. > :17:10.You are capable of striking a wide region, we know that. We need to

:17:11. > :17:14.come to a situation where you are talking to us, rather than waving

:17:15. > :17:20.your fist. No doubt, at some stage, the world's two superpowers will

:17:21. > :17:38.force you to do it. Very good to talk to you.

:17:39. > :17:41.And after eight o'clock we'll be talking to a senior official

:17:42. > :17:43.from the Japanese embassy in London.

:17:44. > :17:51.We have been talking a lot about the damage from Harvey, Carol has those

:17:52. > :17:58.details and our weather as well. When Harvey made landfall, it was a

:17:59. > :18:02.category four. It has been downgraded to a tropical storm, but

:18:03. > :18:08.we are still seeing a lot of rainfall causing problems.

:18:09. > :18:12.Devastating winds in rock port, the reason we still have all this rain

:18:13. > :18:18.is because the tropical is dorm is half onshore and half offshore --

:18:19. > :18:28.Rockport. It is picking up energy and moisture from the Gulf of Mexico

:18:29. > :18:32.and depositing it across Texas. To give you an idea of the rainfall we

:18:33. > :18:38.have seen in Texas, some parts have seen over a metre. On Tuesday and

:18:39. > :18:45.Wednesday, you will notice that the wind is starting to drive further

:21:40. > :21:46.Louise... That is very funny! More than half of those mis-sold

:21:47. > :21:49.payment protection insurance, or PPI, may not yet have

:21:50. > :22:03.claimed compensation. I can't believe I am still talking

:22:48. > :22:54.at how many people have claimed, 12 million people have. ?27 billion has

:22:55. > :22:58.been paid out so far. That is megamoney. If you look at how much

:22:59. > :23:04.the banks have set aside for it, it is ?37 billion. This has cost banks

:23:05. > :23:08.an awful lot of money. Management companies have made a fair whack out

:23:09. > :23:13.of this. It is worth remembering that you don't have to use them to

:24:03. > :24:08.looks amazing, but very empty. Tomorrow morning, a very different

:24:09. > :24:15.pit tour. This is the new crossing, it is one of the busiest routes. The

:24:16. > :24:21.theory is that if you can get to this ridge, if the roads around it

:24:22. > :24:28.are clear, you can get on it. It is a very clever bridge with lots of

:24:29. > :24:31.barriers to disrupt the wind flow. A very special light show for those

:24:32. > :24:33.yesterday who were watching this bridge being built through the

:24:34. > :24:47.years. Lighting up Scotland's latest bridge

:24:48. > :24:52.before drivers cross for the first time. In its own way, it is a feat

:24:53. > :24:57.of design, engineering and construction, it is absolutely

:24:58. > :25:01.amazing. It is, in every sense and every way, an amazing achievement.

:25:02. > :25:06.The scale of the construction is impressive. It is the longest ridge

:25:07. > :25:09.of its kind in the world. This is a chance for some of the many

:25:10. > :25:17.thousands who worked on it to celebrate its completion. One night,

:25:18. > :25:25.fantastic. It is the end of a long journey, but it has been wonderful.

:25:26. > :25:31.A most rewarding journey, I have been on many a bridge. These guys

:25:32. > :25:34.have put in a lot of work. There are going to be their grandchildren

:25:35. > :25:38.looking at it proudly. There are three temperatures across this

:25:39. > :25:43.stretch of the force. The legacy of generations of workers who built

:25:44. > :25:46.them. For some, the story of these crossings, stretching back three

:25:47. > :25:54.centuries, is part of their families' history. My great grandad

:25:55. > :25:59.worked on one, my grandad worked on one, and my dad worked on the

:26:00. > :26:04.Queensferry quashing. All special in their own way, but which is your

:26:05. > :26:11.favourite and why? Definitely this one, it feels most like my bridge.

:26:12. > :26:17.Argued Tuft? After seeing it all come together, I am feeling very

:26:18. > :26:20.proud. Those who travel this busy route have had to contend with

:26:21. > :26:27.plenty of roadworks as the new bridge has taken shape. What can

:26:28. > :26:31.they expect tomorrow? It was closed for a long time while the bridge was

:26:32. > :26:37.under construction. I am sure people want to see what the bridge looks

:26:38. > :26:40.like. We ask people to drive carefully and keep their eye on the

:26:41. > :26:46.road. For now, it is about admiring the view, then tomorrow is a chance

:26:47. > :26:55.for a all to enjoy a journey across this latest bridge over the Forth.

:26:56. > :27:05.Longest type of ridge Bridge of its kind in the world. What makes it

:42:28. > :42:30.have to pay into this pot and so essentially, it's all the drivers

:42:31. > :42:36.who are legally insured were paying the price. If the honest ones who

:42:37. > :42:41.are picking up the tab. An average of about ?1000 to insure a car is

:42:42. > :42:47.really high. It is and what we are seeing with all the research we have

:42:48. > :42:51.done at confuse.com, it is the cost of motoring overall that is going

:42:52. > :42:55.up, not just insurance. The leather reasons why insurance is going up

:42:56. > :42:59.that its motoring generally going up and in many areas, certainly where I

:43:00. > :43:03.live, I haven't got a choice. There is no public transport so I rely on

:43:15. > :43:18.to ?20 per day. ?50 -- ?150 collection fee. Your car will be

:43:19. > :43:22.crushed if it is not collected. Is there anything that can put drivers

:43:23. > :43:26.off and stop them from driving uninsured? I think the real question

:43:27. > :43:31.here is what the cost of motoring hit is in general. We all know our

:43:32. > :43:34.cars are going to be crushed and we know that there are fines imposed if

:43:35. > :43:38.we decide to drive uninsured, as well as penalties on your licence.

:43:39. > :43:42.People are prepared to take the risk and I think that it's because the

:43:43. > :43:47.cost of motoring, across the board, is going up so high. I do know the

:43:48. > :43:51.answer, I think the industry as a whole, whether it be fuel prices,

:43:52. > :43:54.maintenance and obviously the car insurance, road tax. All the

:43:55. > :43:58.associated costs is that I think are putting a lot of pressure on the

:43:59. > :44:01.motorist which is why people are taking the chances. Also the risk of

:44:02. > :44:06.having their car crushed is not enough. A few comments, dancers is

:44:07. > :44:10.probably the astronomical cost of car insurance of fuelling the rise.

:44:48. > :44:51.bodywork cost. We know the cost of repair is going up. This is

:44:52. > :44:56.reflected in car insurance and also with many more people not owning

:44:57. > :45:01.their car outright and perhaps going to an independent repair shop, more

:45:02. > :45:04.and more cars are bought on some kind of lease purchase or hire

:45:05. > :45:08.purchase scheme which requires the car to actually go back to the main

:45:09. > :45:11.dealer to be repaired which has an associated cost. There are a

:45:17. > :45:21.why. But car insurance is definitely going up. The research that we have

:45:22. > :45:29.seen is that it is at 18% last quarter. You think the insurers are

:45:30. > :45:32.justified in the increase? The insurers themselves don't have huge

:45:33. > :45:37.reserves so they are not actually making a vast amount of money from

:45:38. > :45:41.people 's car insurance premiums. They are actually paying this out.

:45:42. > :45:45.The other thing to bear in mind is that we have seen two massive

:45:46. > :45:49.changes to the market recently. We have that changes to improve the tax

:45:50. > :45:55.which is a levy put on your premium by the government and for many years

:45:56. > :46:02.that was bumping around 45 or 6% and that is now 12%. That is huge. --4,

:46:03. > :46:12.five or 6%. In June this year, we saw changes to the discount rate

:46:13. > :46:19.which is the rate where you have a serious life injury, their premiums

:46:20. > :46:25.are being affected as well. We know why premiums are changing but

:46:26. > :46:30.unfortunately, it's a sign of the Times. Thank you for your time.

:46:31. > :46:37.Were to do what you think about it. A lot of people are struggling to

:46:38. > :46:42.pay for car insurance. Ypu're watching

:46:43. > :46:44.Breakfast from BBC News. North Korea has fired a missile over

:46:45. > :46:48.northern Japan in a move the Japanese Prime Minister has

:46:49. > :46:51.called an unprecedented threat President Trump has pledged his full

:46:52. > :46:55.support for the state of Texas as the region continues to be hit

:46:56. > :47:17.by catastrophic flooding caused A lovely picture. Thank you, it is

:47:18. > :47:23.from one of our Weather Watchers. Lovely day to start in Essex,

:47:24. > :47:31.yesterday, temperatures reached over 28 degrees. The warmest August day

:47:32. > :47:36.in the UK so far this year. Today, we might see 28, but it is more

:47:37. > :47:42.likely to be around Kent. Today's forecast is one of sunshine and

:47:43. > :47:49.showers, for many of us, cooler than yesterday. In the north of the

:47:50. > :47:56.country, breezy with showers. This weather front is moving south,

:47:57. > :48:01.hoping today is more likely to be 20- 21. Ahead of that, one or two

:48:02. > :48:05.showers. In the south-east, dry and bright. Showers from the word go

:48:06. > :48:12.across Scotland, Northern Ireland and the south-east. Where we have

:48:13. > :48:17.our weather front moving south, the odd spot of rain. If you are heading

:48:18. > :48:22.down the coast, with the offshore wind, it will feel warmer than

:48:23. > :48:30.yesterday. Southern areas, generally a murky start. Brightening up nicely

:48:31. > :48:34.across England. For Northern Ireland, hanging on to sunshine and

:48:35. > :48:43.a few showers. Through the course of the day, breezy. Bright spells

:48:44. > :48:47.across most of Scotland. Temperatures getting up to 17- 19.

:48:48. > :48:51.For northern England in the north-east, some sunshine. Then back

:48:52. > :48:56.into our weather front, slipping south. Producing patchy rain and

:48:57. > :49:03.cloud. That continues into the evening and overnight, could be

:49:04. > :49:07.Sunbury at times. In Kent, for example. Another band coming

:49:08. > :49:13.south-west. North of that, clear skies. Breezy, and some showers.

:49:14. > :49:18.Tomorrow, starting with that scenario across northern England and

:49:19. > :49:26.Ireland. Showers peppering western Scotland. Two bands of rain in the

:49:27. > :49:34.south eventually merging. Wind coming across Norfolk and Kent.

:49:35. > :49:41.Today we could hit 28, tomorrow, at 16 or 17. As we had into Thursday, a

:49:42. > :49:47.lot of dry weather around. A peppering of showers in the north. A

:49:48. > :49:51.few in the south-west, the south-east hangs onto the brightest

:49:52. > :50:00.skies. Temperatures way down compared to what we are looking at.

:50:01. > :50:02.Thank you very much. All this summer on BBC Breakfast

:50:03. > :50:04.we've been talking to some of the UK's most

:50:05. > :50:06.inspirational businesswomen. This morning Steph's talking

:50:07. > :50:09.to a woman who started Anyone who likes to give themselves

:50:10. > :50:13.a bit of a treat might already We're talking about the upmarket

:50:14. > :50:35.wellbeing fragrance brand Neom Organics founded by Nicola Elliott

:50:36. > :50:38.and her business partner Oliver It was started in 2005 when Nicola

:50:39. > :50:42.was working a 60 hour week at a glossy magazine whilst also

:50:43. > :50:44.training as an aromatherapist. She started small -

:50:45. > :50:47.with a range of 5 candles - but the business now has

:50:48. > :50:50.a multi-million pound turnover with 3 stand-alone shops and it's

:50:51. > :50:53.sold in high end department stores like John Lewis and Selfridges

:50:54. > :50:56.in the UK as well as overseas. Nicola Elliott of Neom

:50:57. > :50:59.Organics joins me now. Tell us about why you

:51:00. > :51:06.started the business. You were working for a magazine?

:51:07. > :51:10.Yes, I was a journalist. I was working crazy hours and I decided to

:51:11. > :51:13.do something that would give me a bit more flexibility. You start your

:51:14. > :51:17.own business and you think it is going to be so much easier, of

:51:18. > :51:21.course, it isn't. I work as hard as I did back then. I had a real

:51:22. > :51:25.vision, I think that is why the brand has become as strong as it is.

:51:26. > :51:28.It was always about creating a well-being brand. It was always

:51:29. > :51:31.about inspiring people to lead naturally healthy lives. I did that

:51:32. > :51:34.alongside my journalism job, I trained as a nutritional list and

:51:35. > :51:40.and aromatherapist. We were set up to be very much helping people with

:51:41. > :51:46.sleep, stress levels, mood, boosting energy. How we could do that in a

:51:47. > :51:52.natural way and how we could start that well-being journey. You are a

:51:53. > :51:57.journalist, very busy, training to be and aromatherapist, when did you

:51:58. > :52:02.take that step? What did you do? I went down to a four-day week, which

:52:03. > :52:06.I would always advocate. It gives you the opportunity to test the

:52:07. > :52:11.market. You don't have to do a full job from one to the other. I created

:52:12. > :52:21.blends, tested them on friends, whether it would help people sleep

:52:22. > :52:26.and so on. Once I got a green light, I took the leap. Try and think of

:52:27. > :52:32.places and ways that you can test it out where you can be a bit more

:52:33. > :52:38.confident. Was at a big investment for you? No, I had sold my car and

:52:39. > :52:44.my business partner had some savings. We got together about

:52:45. > :52:49.?10,000. It was everything we had. We put it into stock. If you have a

:52:50. > :52:54.stock -based business, but is not too bad, we always thought, we've

:52:55. > :52:59.got these candles, we can sell them somewhere if we need to. It is such

:53:00. > :53:04.a big and competitive market, you are fighting with massive brands.

:53:05. > :53:09.How do you make yourself different? How do you do that? You have to have

:53:10. > :53:16.a point of difference. It has to be authentic. I think if we had just

:53:17. > :53:21.created are foils that not nice or candles in a lovely box, that is

:53:22. > :53:24.subjective. I think you've got to have that story. We were really

:53:25. > :53:29.passionate about the well-being story. We were really passionate

:53:30. > :53:35.about testing the blends to see whether they worked. There is a

:53:36. > :53:42.whole lot of smelly candles and bath oils, but how many of them can help

:53:43. > :53:50.you sleep? Boost your energy? That had to be key to the brand, the

:53:51. > :53:59.story and the authenticity. The rest of it is the icing on the cake. The

:54:00. > :54:04.business has grown, what's next? We are on a stall roll at the moment,

:54:05. > :54:11.we have one in Leeds and one in Kings road. We are hoping to open

:54:12. > :54:18.another one around Christmas. The UK is still a big area for us. We will

:54:19. > :54:23.be rolling out our retail. You can come and experience it. That is the

:54:24. > :54:29.future of retail, where you can experience the brand, get involved.

:54:30. > :54:33.You are not just picking up products, we did a discovery test

:54:34. > :54:41.where you can come in and we will find out you've got well-being

:54:42. > :54:50.needs. We figure out the underlying causes. That is key to the future. A

:54:51. > :54:56.product like yours is a treat, not a necessity. How does the business

:54:57. > :55:01.world feel to you? We are in times where people are on low wages and

:55:02. > :55:10.have not seen a pay rise. How does it feel for you? I feel that

:55:11. > :55:16.well-being, right now, when we are in these kind of times, it has to be

:55:17. > :55:25.a necessity. If you can kickstart that journey, we found our

:55:26. > :55:30.business... The lipstick effect, you purchase things to make yourself

:55:31. > :55:36.feel good. You don't need to spend a huge amount to kickstart your

:55:37. > :55:44.well-being journey. People come in and they might prioritise 15 minutes

:55:45. > :55:52.in their bars. They may not be able to go to a spa, but there will

:55:53. > :55:58.maximise that time -- bath. We need to be making well-being a priority

:55:59. > :56:05.and not a luxury. Thank you. I have really enjoyed all the

:56:06. > :59:36.interviews we have done this year. Plenty more on our website

:03:13. > :03:16.of military missile tests conducted by North Korea this year,

:03:17. > :03:18.but a more serious one The last time that happened

:03:19. > :03:25.was nearly two decades ago. "The outrageous act of firing

:04:35. > :04:38.concrete buildings or basements is not a normal occurrence for people

:04:39. > :04:43.in Japan. As far as I am aware, I think this is the first time this

:04:44. > :04:47.has happened since the Second World War. People have been practising in

:04:48. > :04:52.towns up and down the coast of Japan, because of increased tests by

:04:53. > :04:56.North Korea, but this is the first time it has happened for real. The

:04:57. > :05:01.public address system is being used to tell people, there is a missile

:05:02. > :05:06.flying in our direction, find shelter. This is a very aggressive

:05:07. > :05:10.thing for North Korea to do. People don't normally fire ballistic

:05:11. > :05:16.missiles over the territory of their neighbours. That is why we have seen

:05:17. > :05:21.this angry response from Shinzo Abe, calling it an act of violence and

:05:22. > :05:24.saying it is unprecedented. Then speaking to President Trump and they

:11:43. > :11:47.you for your time on this, Daniel. We know North Korea has said it has

:11:48. > :11:53.fired rockets over Japan before, what is new about these developments

:11:54. > :11:58.over the weekend? North Korea is increasing its capability. They have

:11:59. > :12:03.desired to have nuclear weapons for a long time and delivery systems to

:12:04. > :12:07.strike the United States. So they have been conducting a lot of flight

:12:08. > :12:12.tests recently and increasing the range. This is a new threat the

:12:13. > :12:18.international community is going to have to deal with. Is this a threat

:12:19. > :12:23.to Japan or is this a message to not only Japan, but the rest of the

:12:24. > :12:27.world as well? The first thing we have to think about when we look at

:12:28. > :12:33.these increasing capabilities is North Korea's motivations, what are

:12:34. > :12:38.they trying to achieve? We need to connect their capabilities with

:12:39. > :12:43.their political objectives. North Korea is dissatisfied with several

:12:44. > :12:48.things. First, being the division of the peninsula, they would like to

:12:49. > :12:53.unify the peninsular on its terms. They are dissatisfied with the UN

:12:54. > :12:57.Security Council sanctions. They would like those sanctions lifted

:12:58. > :13:02.and they are dissatisfied with the security architecture in East Asia,

:13:03. > :13:09.which includes bilateral security alliances with the US, Japan,

:13:10. > :13:14.Australia and they would like to see that security architecture

:13:15. > :13:18.dismantled. They will try to use their capabilities for coercive

:13:19. > :13:25.purposes to achieve those political objectives. In terms of pressure the

:13:26. > :13:29.world can exert, what is the best possible outcome for trying to scale

:13:30. > :13:38.back this increased military might we are seeing from North Korea? The

:13:39. > :13:43.international community should be united and cooperate in raising the

:13:44. > :13:51.costs to North Korea. Secondly, the signal should be very clear, the

:13:52. > :13:55.international community's resolve that if North Korea uses these

:13:56. > :13:59.capabilities, they will not achieve their political objectives. That

:14:00. > :14:06.includes a number of things, including alliances, military

:14:07. > :14:08.training, extended deterrence, deterrence by denial, including

:14:09. > :14:14.missile defence systems, economic sanctions. There is a whole tool box

:14:15. > :14:18.of instruments the international community will have two years.

:14:19. > :14:23.President Trump has talked about military action at some stage, is

:14:24. > :14:30.there anything short of that that would make a difference in North

:14:31. > :14:34.Korea? That is an open-ended question, if you are asking about

:14:35. > :14:38.North Korea abandoning its nuclear weapons and delivery systems, I

:14:39. > :14:44.would argue that would constitute revolutionary change in North Korea.

:14:45. > :14:48.It would be a complete reversal and abandonment of their identity, their

:14:49. > :14:51.ideology and their doctrine. Without some fundamental change in North

:14:52. > :14:57.Korea, they are not going to do that. What we have to think about is

:14:58. > :15:03.what the response should be and under what conditions. People talk

:15:04. > :15:07.about a military option, but they stop the discussion there. We have

:15:08. > :15:11.to talk about what conditions and to achieve water. Basically we get back

:15:12. > :15:17.to deterrence. If North Korea were ever to use these weapons or try to

:15:18. > :15:21.use force or coercion against its neighbours, then the international

:15:22. > :15:27.community should be unified in its resolve to respond accordingly.

:15:28. > :15:30.Thank you very much for your time. We are getting reaction from the

:15:31. > :15:34.Japanese embassy here in the UK later on.

:15:35. > :15:39.Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

:15:40. > :15:53.A lovely day for so many people. It certainly was. We have a fine start

:15:54. > :15:58.to the day across parts of the UK. Another beautiful photo from Essex,

:15:59. > :16:05.this lovely, blue sky. It is not like it everywhere. There is quite a

:16:06. > :16:10.bit of cloud around, producing some murky conditions and some patchy

:16:11. > :16:17.rain here and there. It is courtesy of this weather front slowly

:16:18. > :16:27.slipping southwards. There is sunshine and showers. Here is the

:16:28. > :16:35.weather front through this course of the morning. Slowly moving south.

:16:36. > :16:48.Sunshine and showers and breezy for Scotland and Northern Ireland. Kent

:16:49. > :16:55.could hit 28 Celsius. The sun will come out after a murky start. As we

:16:56. > :17:03.head into northern England, we are looking at some sunshine. Sunshine

:17:04. > :17:08.and showers although they will be fairly few and far between. They

:17:09. > :17:15.will be prolific in Scotland but they are showers so not everyone

:17:16. > :17:21.will catch one in between. Moving down into Yorkshire after a cloudy

:17:22. > :17:30.start, it will brighten up in the afternoon. Here goes the weather

:17:31. > :17:34.front, rejuvenating. We could see thunderstorms. Then we have another

:17:35. > :17:42.system coming in from the south-west. There will still be a

:17:43. > :17:53.peppering of showers. It will be a cool night in the countryside. There

:17:54. > :17:59.will be some showers and they will be breezy and eventually the twain

:18:00. > :18:03.shall meet. You will notice the huge difference in temperatures tomorrow.

:18:04. > :18:08.Where we have had 27 or 28 we're looking at 16 or 17. The

:18:09. > :18:13.temperatures tomorrow will be very similar to what we're looking at

:18:14. > :18:19.today. Thursday will have a lot of dry weather around. There will be

:18:20. > :18:41.light breezes and the temperatures will be 13 - 20. Did you call it a

:18:42. > :18:54.dizzy cocktail earlier? Yes. Thank you very much. PPI, we are talking

:18:55. > :19:03.about. We've been talking about it for years. I feel like I've been

:19:04. > :19:08.talking about it forever. I would struggle to find anyone who has not

:19:09. > :19:11.had one of those annoying calls. A lot of people have claimed back

:19:12. > :19:15.money but interestingly, more than half have been mis-sold that have

:19:16. > :19:26.not claimed that back. The figures were something like 50 million

:19:27. > :19:37.policies sold. 64 million of them were salt. If you look now at the

:19:38. > :19:41.number of people who have claimed, ?27 billion has been paid out of

:19:42. > :19:49.compensation. It is a staggering amount of money. It has caused

:19:50. > :19:54.problems for the banks. They've set aside ?30 billion to deal with

:19:55. > :20:00.compensation. There is a new campaign to encourage more people to

:20:01. > :20:05.claim. You don't have to. But they are saying there are still people

:20:06. > :20:08.out there who are owed compensation. In two years you will not be able to

:20:09. > :20:16.do that. That's why they're running this campaign. We've had loads of

:20:17. > :20:24.e-mails from people about this as well saying, I had PPI on my first

:20:25. > :20:30.mortgage. I was young and single, how do I know I was mis-sold at?

:20:31. > :20:35.That is interesting, you can go online, put in your details and the

:20:36. > :20:40.banks will do their work for you. But there are also claims management

:20:41. > :20:46.organisations that will do it for you. There are various messages, one

:20:47. > :20:50.said they got their money back really quickly, another said they

:20:51. > :20:54.are waiting. There are lots of different experiences. Still worth

:20:55. > :20:57.having a go. Until the door closes. Thank you.

:20:58. > :21:00.The newest bridge across the Firth of Forth was lit up last night

:21:01. > :21:03.to mark the symbolic handover of the project from the constructors

:21:04. > :21:05.Building on the Queensferry Crossing,

:21:06. > :21:08.which links Edinburgh and Fife, started in 2011 and now the billion

:21:09. > :21:12.pound bridge is almost ready to open to traffic.

:21:13. > :21:17.Our Scotland Correspondent Lorna Gordon is there for us this morning.

:21:18. > :21:25.It doesn't look busy at the moment because it is not open yet. Not open

:21:26. > :21:31.quite yet but tomorrow it will be busy with commuters, lorries taking

:21:32. > :21:36.the goods throughout Scotland. At the moment there is some last-minute

:21:37. > :21:45.work going on but this is quite a lovely bridge, it is the tallest

:21:46. > :21:49.bridge in the UK and those fans you can see behind me, they shimmer in

:21:50. > :21:52.the late, they are quite special and last night there was a very special

:21:53. > :21:56.display to commemorate this official handing over from the bridge from

:21:57. > :22:06.the workforce to the people of Scotland. Lighting up Scotland's

:22:07. > :22:08.latest bridge. The Queensferry Crossing in the spotlight before

:22:09. > :22:15.opening two drivers for the first time. In its own right it is a feat

:22:16. > :22:20.of design, engineering and construction, absolutely amazing. It

:22:21. > :22:25.is, in every sense, an amazing achievement. The scale of this

:22:26. > :22:31.construction is impressive. It is the longest bridge of its kind in

:22:32. > :22:34.the world. It is a chance for some of the many thousands who worked on

:22:35. > :22:42.it to celebrate the completion. What a night? Fantastic. It is the end of

:22:43. > :22:45.a long journey but it has been wonderful. Stressful but the most

:22:46. > :22:51.rewarding job I've ever been on and I've been on many bridges. S these

:22:52. > :22:57.guys have put a lot of work in. There will be grandchildren who say,

:22:58. > :23:02.my grand dad built that. There are three bridges across this stretch of

:23:03. > :23:12.the fourth. For some, the story of these crossings is part of their

:23:13. > :23:15.families history. Migrate grandad worked on the Forth rail Bridge. My

:23:16. > :23:22.grandad worked on the Forth Road Bridge and I worked on the

:23:23. > :23:26.Queensferry Crossing. Three bridges, three centuries, all special, which

:23:27. > :23:31.is your favourite? Definitely the Queensferry Crossing because it

:23:32. > :23:37.feels most like my bridge. Are you chuffed? After seeing it come

:23:38. > :23:41.together I feel a little bit proud to have been working on the bridge.

:23:42. > :23:48.Was travelling this busy route have contented with plenty of roadworks.

:23:49. > :23:53.What can they expect tomorrow? There have been a lot of cones out there

:23:54. > :23:57.for a long time. There will be a 40 mph limit. I'm sure people will want

:23:58. > :24:01.to see what the bridge looks like. We would ask people to drive

:24:02. > :24:06.carefully and keep their eye on the road. For now it is all about

:24:07. > :24:14.admiring the view and then enjoy the journey across this latest bridge

:24:15. > :24:20.over the Forth. There will be some toing and froing over the next week.

:24:21. > :24:26.It opens tomorrow morning, it stays open for a couple of days, and then

:24:27. > :24:31.it shuts again to allow pedestrians to walk across the bridge. They

:24:32. > :24:35.would not normally be able to do that, but there has been a public

:24:36. > :24:38.ballot and tens of thousands of people will be lucky enough to get

:24:39. > :24:47.that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to walk across. What makes it even

:24:48. > :24:52.more special is the fact that this is three bridges from three

:24:53. > :24:58.centuries spanning this location. It is a place which many people have

:24:59. > :25:05.identified with. They've travelled across the rail bridge and the Road

:25:06. > :25:17.Bridge and now they will get the chance to travel across the

:25:18. > :25:22.Queensferry Crossing. Thank you very much indeed. Some people have been

:25:23. > :25:27.in this ballot to walk. Somebody sent me a copy of the beautiful

:25:28. > :25:32.invitation with a picture of the bridge.

:25:33. > :25:43.We have some fantastic guests coming up for you. We have John Culshaw. He

:25:44. > :25:51.will do one of his most requested impressions. You can probably guess

:25:52. > :25:56.who that is at the moment. Also, hopefully an impression of someone

:25:57. > :26:04.who is here. There is also a programme we will talk about, I knew

:26:05. > :26:13.Horizon programme, and it asks us, are psychopaths born or made? One of

:26:14. > :26:17.the main things was they were in conversation with Ian Brady,

:26:18. > :26:20.obviously very controversial. We will talk about the rights and

:26:21. > :26:28.wrongs of that. And Jamie Lawson will be on the silver. He was signed

:26:29. > :26:38.by Ed Sheeran and the last time they were both here together. Two years

:26:39. > :26:41.ago. Before they spoke to us, his single was outside number ten. By

:26:42. > :26:47.the time they got back to the station it was number one. The power

:26:48. > :26:51.of BBC Breakfast. I wonder if we will have the same effect today. We

:26:52. > :26:56.will be talking about the programme about psychopaths. We will have the

:26:57. > :26:57.national headlines in a couple of minutes after whatever is happening

:26:58. > :30:19.wherever you are. Hello, this is Breakfast,

:30:20. > :30:33.with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. Let's get you up to date with the

:30:34. > :30:37.latest headlines at 8:30am. The United Nations Security Council

:30:38. > :30:40.is to hold an emergency meeting this afternoon after North Korea fired

:30:41. > :30:41.a ballistic missile The missile, which fell

:30:42. > :30:45.into the sea, triggered loudspeaker alerts warning people on the island

:30:46. > :30:47.of Hokkaido to take cover. Japan's Prime Minister said

:30:48. > :30:50.the launch represented a serious The former Nato Commander,

:30:51. > :30:53.Rear Admiral Chris Parry, told us that the international

:30:54. > :31:08.community needed to show I think there has to be an

:31:09. > :31:12.absolutely unanimous votes today to say to North Korea, enough is

:31:13. > :31:16.enough. You are not just upsetting the Americans and its allies, you

:31:17. > :31:20.are upsetting the rest of the world. You have the capability to strike

:31:21. > :31:24.over a wide region, we know that, we also need to come to a situation

:31:25. > :31:32.where you are talking to us rather than waving your fist. Be in no

:31:33. > :31:34.doubt, at some stage the world's two superpowers, China and the United

:31:35. > :31:35.States, will come together and force you to do so.

:31:36. > :31:38.We're joined now from our London newsroom by Shinichi Iida,

:31:39. > :31:45.the Minister for Public Diplomacy at the Japanese Embassy in the UK.

:31:46. > :31:49.Good morning, thank you very much for joining us. Can you tell us what

:31:50. > :31:55.you know about what happened overnight?

:31:56. > :31:59.North Korea, as you know, launched a ballistic missile which flew over

:32:00. > :32:05.the Japanese archipelago and landed at the Western Pacific, hundreds of

:32:06. > :32:10.miles east of the Japanese territory, which is causing a

:32:11. > :32:13.massive concern amongst Japanese people and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe

:32:14. > :32:16.declared that the government is taking every possible measure to

:32:17. > :32:19.ensure the safety of the Japanese people.

:32:20. > :32:24.He also immediately talked with President Trump of the United States

:32:25. > :32:27.over the phone, they agreed that they would even more closely

:32:28. > :32:34.coordinate with one another and also to convene the emergency session of

:32:35. > :32:38.the United Nations Security Council in order to put even greater

:32:39. > :32:43.pressure on North Korea so it would come to its senses.

:32:44. > :32:47.Thank you so much. Were Japanese citizens, do you think, at any point

:32:48. > :32:54.in danger? Japanese people are very concerned.

:32:55. > :32:59.There is no question about it. As Prime Minister Abe said, North Korea

:33:00. > :33:07.poses an unprecedented threat to Japan and the Japanese people. It is

:33:08. > :33:13.not causing a threat only to Japan that also to the rest of the world.

:33:14. > :33:17.It is an international threat that North Korea poses. In that regard I

:33:18. > :33:24.think it is critically important for the international community to

:33:25. > :33:29.co-operate closely together in order to tackle this crisis. In that

:33:30. > :33:33.regard I think it is quite pertinent that Prime Minister Theresa May is

:33:34. > :33:37.visiting Japan as an official guest of Japan, and she is going to have

:33:38. > :33:42.extensive discussions with Prime Minister Abe he and I am sure that

:33:43. > :33:47.on top of the agenda list will be the North Korean crisis. We expect a

:33:48. > :33:51.great deal of the United Kingdom as well, because the UK is a permanent

:33:52. > :33:56.member of the UN Security Council and it has the embassy in Pyongyang,

:33:57. > :34:03.which Japan does not. You say do expect a great deal from the UK,

:34:04. > :34:05.what sort of thing do you expect? UK has its own communication

:34:06. > :34:13.channels with China and Russia and as I mentioned to Pyongyang as well.

:34:14. > :34:18.Also UK is one of the greatest and closest allies of the United States.

:34:19. > :34:24.UK is a very important strategic partner for Japan because Japan and

:34:25. > :34:29.the UK share such fundamental values like the rule of law, respect the

:34:30. > :34:33.human rights and the market economy. In many regards, Japan and the UK

:34:34. > :34:39.are very key players, whatever the joke -- global issue might be, to

:34:40. > :34:43.work closely. One other question. Warnings were issued and I know

:34:44. > :34:47.Japanese citizens practice for those kind of things, why did you not

:34:48. > :34:50.shoot the missile down? The Japanese government has been

:34:51. > :34:57.clear that it will take every possible measure to ensure the

:34:58. > :35:03.safety of the Japanese people. For the specific reason... And also I

:35:04. > :35:06.want to add that the Japanese have defence forces for that purpose, it

:35:07. > :35:12.has been deploying its missile defence mechanism. The specific

:35:13. > :35:17.reason why they did not shoot down the missile, the Frank answer is I

:35:18. > :35:20.don't know. The Prime Minister's Chief Cabinet secretary referred to

:35:21. > :35:26.that in his press conference that the government has taken every

:35:27. > :35:30.element into consideration for that. I know for a fact that the North

:35:31. > :35:35.Korean missile this time around collapsed into three pieces.

:35:36. > :35:39.Shinichi Iida, thank you very much for your time Breakfast. He is the

:35:40. > :35:40.Minister for Public diplomacy at the Japanese embassy here. You are very

:35:41. > :35:42.welcome. The catastrophic flooding in Texas

:35:43. > :35:45.is expected to get much worse - with officials warning they expect

:35:46. > :35:47.nearly half a million With waters still rising,

:35:48. > :35:49.helicopters and hundreds of specialist vehicles have been

:35:50. > :35:52.deployed in the rescue effort. An emergency has also been declared

:35:53. > :35:54.in neighbouring Louisiana, Brexit negotiations are continuing

:35:55. > :35:59.in Brussels after the EU told the UK it needed to get serious

:36:00. > :36:03.about the withdrawal talks. The EU's chief negotiator

:36:04. > :36:06.Michel Barnier has expressed concern about the lack of progress made

:36:07. > :36:09.so far and accused Britain of ambiguity on key issues

:36:10. > :36:14.like its exit bill. The UK Brexit Secretary David Davis

:36:15. > :36:16.said both sides had to show The number of uninsured drivers

:36:17. > :36:23.on British roads may be increasing for the first time in more

:36:24. > :36:26.than a decade, according to new data The Motor Insurance Bureau,

:36:27. > :36:30.which processes claims by victims of uninsured drivers,

:36:31. > :36:33.say there was an increase of 10% That rise could suggest

:36:34. > :36:39.that there are more uninsured people If you haven't seen this, you really

:36:40. > :36:51.want to watch it! A dancing policeman has become

:36:52. > :36:53.the star of this year's Notting Hill Carnival,

:36:54. > :36:56.after video of him showing off his PC Daniel Graham kept crowds

:36:57. > :36:59.entertained with his body popping. He clearly knows what he is doing!

:37:00. > :37:06.And a side moonwalk! He's no stranger to taking

:37:07. > :37:08.centre-stage, though - he was also a contestant on last

:37:09. > :37:17.year's Britain's Got Talent. He has got talent! And quite clearly

:37:18. > :37:20.flaunting it, much to the delight of the crowd at Notting Hill Carnival,

:37:21. > :37:25.it went down very well, high-fives all over the place.

:37:26. > :37:26.Thank you to whoever sent me the link to Britain's Got Talent with

:37:27. > :37:28.him on. Coming up here on Breakfast

:37:29. > :37:30.this morning... Exploring the psychopathic mind -

:37:31. > :37:32.using new letters written by murderer Ian Brady,

:37:33. > :37:34.a new documentary looks at whether psychopaths

:37:35. > :37:36.are the product of nature There were good storylines here, it

:37:37. > :37:46.was... It was beautiful. The BBC's Spanish soap Eldorado may

:37:47. > :37:49.have lasted only a year, but surprisingly the set

:37:50. > :37:51.is still standing a quarter of a century later -

:37:52. > :37:54.and we'll be taking a look around. And singer Jamie Lawson's life has

:37:55. > :37:57.been a series of happy accidents - from the way he met his wife

:37:58. > :38:00.to working with his He's here to tell us how it's

:38:01. > :38:06.all inspired his new album. But first let's get

:38:07. > :38:18.the sport with Sally. Hello. Good morning. We had such

:38:19. > :38:22.high hopes for Jo Konta at the US Open, playing on her favourite

:38:23. > :38:26.surface, a great performance for Wimbledon. And what happens when we

:38:27. > :38:27.talk about her in those terms? It goes quite badly wrong. Good

:38:28. > :38:28.morning. Its been a dramatic opening

:38:29. > :38:30.day at the US Open - Britain's Johanna Konta suffered

:38:31. > :38:33.a shock first round defeat against The world number seven was among

:38:34. > :38:37.the favourites for the title and could have ended the tournament

:38:38. > :38:39.as world number one. Konta won the first set,

:38:40. > :38:44.but the world number 78 fought back to leave Konta still looking

:38:45. > :38:46.for that elusive first It would be quite obnoxious of me

:38:47. > :38:50.to come in here expecting that I have a right to be

:38:51. > :38:54.in the second round. I am very much aware that

:41:14. > :41:23.delighted that we have an exclusive response from the Arsenal manager

:41:24. > :41:25.Arsene Wenger. IS Arsene Wenger: I make very clever post-match

:41:26. > :41:34.exclusives while looking a little puzzled. Jon Culshaw, lovely to see

:41:35. > :41:42.you! Thank you very much for that. Here's a good character at the

:41:43. > :41:47.moment! Who do you choose to pick on? I stumbled across Arsene Wenger

:41:48. > :41:51.by accident, in a sense. If you start off with Arsene Wenger and

:41:52. > :41:55.take away the French lilt and make it slightly Scottish, the next voice

:41:56. > :41:59.along a sort of Andy Murray. It was through doing Andy Murray that I

:42:00. > :42:05.discovered Arsene Wenger. That is very good. Only a subtle change. A

:42:06. > :42:09.little pitch shift. We call the phenomena voice neighbours. The

:42:10. > :42:19.mannerisms change completely, that is a huge part? The little catch in

:42:20. > :42:21.the voice is there with the two of them.

:42:22. > :42:24.Are there some people who are particularly obvious as candidates

:42:25. > :42:30.for you to take on? I think so. I remember watching... AS SIMON

:42:31. > :42:47.COWELL: Simon Cowell the first time. AS RICKY GERVAIS: Rudiger base is a

:42:48. > :42:54.little bit more awkward. How many characters can you do? In Dead

:42:55. > :42:58.Ringers there may be 60 characters. But if you add them all up over the

:42:59. > :43:02.years, it probably runs into the hundreds if you have counted every

:43:03. > :43:07.single Worzel Domej, whoever it might be, the different characters.

:43:08. > :43:13.You mentioned dead ringers, and your new show is unscripted, and

:43:14. > :43:19.rehearsed? You had to change things all the time? Certain characters

:43:20. > :43:23.fall by the wayside. A few years ago, Tony Blair, George W Bush, how

:43:24. > :43:33.do you like me now?! But they pass by and you are left with the newer

:43:34. > :43:43.characters. AS BORIS JOHNSON: Boris Johnson is a very popular character

:43:44. > :43:51.right now... AS DONALD TRUMP: and Donald Trump is very happy...

:43:52. > :43:54.Popular right now. It is as though you are having a game of darts but

:43:55. > :44:01.you are not trying very hard. The answer operated by a little stick on

:44:02. > :44:04.the elbow like Kermit the frog. Even if people have the sound turned

:44:05. > :44:08.down, the mannerisms are so recognisable and you know it is

:44:09. > :44:12.Donald Trump. You can post your lips like a tropical fish that wants to

:44:13. > :44:18.be fed... AS DONALD TRUMP: and simply go like that. At the start of

:44:19. > :44:23.each show you ring up a local pizza delivery firm and someone chooses a

:44:24. > :44:27.voice for you to order a pizza advice? This is in the live show,

:44:28. > :44:31.The Great British Take Off. Just before the end of the first act, in

:44:32. > :44:34.a character of the audience's choosing, we will phone the local

:44:35. > :44:39.pizza place and have them delivered to the stage, at the end of the show

:44:40. > :44:48.the audience help themselves, and off they go. It is a very

:44:49. > :44:53.spontaneous moment in the show. AS DAVID ATTENBOROUGH: if you order

:44:54. > :44:57.them as David Attenborough they get delivered very quickly. If you order

:44:58. > :45:01.them as Piers Morgan or Alan Sugar the phone is put down.

:45:02. > :45:08.I love unscripted shows, doesn't make it even more fun for you? Yes,

:45:09. > :45:11.never the same twice. We are led by the audience, they suggest the

:45:12. > :45:15.characters, it determines the anecdotes. It is lovely when it is

:45:16. > :45:18.never the same twice and you can reflect the latest topical news. You

:45:19. > :45:23.can speak about the news that might have happened that day. Over the

:45:24. > :45:28.years, are there still some people that you feel you have not quite

:45:29. > :45:34.got? What makes it more difficult to grab the persona?

:45:35. > :45:44.David Cameron always comes to mind, he was a generic posh, perhaps the

:45:45. > :45:47.odd repeated hand gesture. Very tidy PR, very polished, not many

:45:48. > :45:53.characteristics to latch onto. He would be one of those. Like a wax

:45:54. > :45:57.candle in a gift shop is how I described David Cameron. You can do

:45:58. > :46:02.an accurate impression that people would not care, that was the sense

:46:03. > :46:06.with him. Now there are many more characters, one of my favourite

:46:07. > :46:10.political characters is Michael Gove, take Ronnie Corbett and take

:46:11. > :46:16.away the love ability and charm and make him slightly Machiavellian and

:46:17. > :46:26.mischievous. You have my full support and far be it from me to say

:46:27. > :46:29.anything, far be it from me to be mischievous or top of turn. Do you

:46:30. > :46:38.watch people when you are trying to nail an impression, do you nail the

:46:39. > :46:44.mannerisms over and over again? Yeah, it is easier, you can download

:46:45. > :46:48.the clips. Back in the day it would be lots of tapes in the post and now

:46:49. > :46:53.you can watch it over and over again and you can see the pattern is, the

:46:54. > :46:58.obvious things which make people recognisable. Is it still that

:46:59. > :47:02.situation where some people, if you mercilessly take the Mickey out of

:47:03. > :47:07.them they will get annoyed but it is also a sign they are famous enough

:47:08. > :47:12.for you to be impersonating them so they enjoy it? Most people are quite

:47:13. > :47:17.relieved, it shows they are on the radar and have a character which can

:47:18. > :47:23.be moulded, you can portrayed. I think most people, they say they

:47:24. > :47:27.quite like it anyway. We were mentioned the other day on dead

:47:28. > :47:41.ringers and it made me laugh so I can see that. Debra Stephenson and

:47:42. > :47:51.Jan ravens do a wonderful Stef, the way you don't have taking any

:47:52. > :47:55.nonsense in those interviews. The lovely directness, they do it

:47:56. > :47:57.beautifully. Looking forward to seeing that, thank you.

:48:28. > :48:33.I was not intentionally trying to get rid of you from this part of the

:48:34. > :48:35.programme! Nice recovery by the skin of your

:48:36. > :48:45.teeth. This is a picture from a weather

:48:46. > :48:48.watcher in Essex, lovely blue skies, temperatures getting up now, but a

:48:49. > :48:53.different scenario in Yorkshire, a bit more cloud and some of it

:48:54. > :49:00.further south is producing some rain. Courtesy of this weather front

:49:01. > :49:06.which is working south eastwards, breezy conditions, looking at a

:49:07. > :49:11.mixture of bright spells, sunshine and showers, brightening up across

:49:12. > :49:16.Northern England. Again as this weather front goes south, we will

:49:17. > :49:20.brighten up in Wales and South West England but it will cloud over

:49:21. > :49:29.through much of the South West Midlands. Today parts of Kent could

:49:30. > :49:34.reach 28 Celsius. Dry weather across southern counties, bits of pieces

:49:35. > :49:37.and clouds, Wales brightening up with sunshine, the West Midlands

:49:38. > :49:42.getting cloudy and you can see for Northern England it's getting quite

:49:43. > :49:49.bright. The Isle of Man also seeing sunshine, sunshine and showers in

:49:50. > :49:55.Northern Ireland, and there is a peppering of showers across Scotland

:49:56. > :49:59.but there will be more dry weather than wet weather and looking at

:50:00. > :50:02.bright sunny skies in between. For north-east England behind the

:50:03. > :50:06.weather front as the Clyde pulls away the sun will come out. That is

:50:07. > :50:09.the weather front moving south, getting into the South East through

:50:10. > :50:16.the course of tonight, rejuvenating across Dover and the cutesy heavy

:50:17. > :50:19.showers, possibly thundery and a new band of rain coming across

:50:20. > :50:26.south-west England, Wales and the Midlands. Away from that clear

:50:27. > :50:30.skies, chilly start to the day and tomorrow still breezy with sunshine

:50:31. > :50:36.and showers across Scotland and Northern Ireland. Meanwhile, the

:50:37. > :50:40.rain in the South eventually merging, much later in the south

:50:41. > :50:43.tomorrow than today which includes the Channel Islands and the

:50:44. > :50:47.temperatures will be down on today as well. But in the north looking at

:50:48. > :50:51.temperatures similar values to what we are likely to have this

:50:52. > :50:57.afternoon. As we move into Thursday still a lot of dry weather where we

:50:58. > :51:00.have a clear skies by night, it will be in the start. Showers from the

:51:01. > :51:03.West as we go through the course of the day and temperatures 13 to a

:51:04. > :51:13.high of 20. Thank you very much, my favourite

:54:02. > :54:04.or five weeks and then builds up beautifully. Thank you for joining

:54:05. > :54:06.us this morning. Psychopathy is a mental health

:54:07. > :54:08.condition which we often associate with extreme violence

:54:09. > :54:10.and unthinkable crimes - but are some people born to be

:54:11. > :54:13.psychopaths, or are they made That's one of the questions

:54:14. > :54:16.explored in BBC Horizon's The programme is presented

:54:17. > :54:21.by the psychologist Uta Frith and the series editor

:54:22. > :54:25.is Steve Crabtree, who we'll be First let's take a look

:54:26. > :54:35.at a clip from the programme. Remarkably, children can read

:54:36. > :54:42.other people's emotions from the first few months of life,

:54:43. > :54:45.and it's this ability to read emotions that helps them to moderate

:54:46. > :54:49.their behaviour towards others. But the professor noticed that

:54:50. > :54:52.children classified by psychologists as callous and unemotional did not

:54:53. > :54:59.do so well on the test. She believes it's because these

:55:00. > :55:03.callous and unemotional children don't feel certain emotions

:55:04. > :55:06.themselves - such as fear - that they struggle to recognise

:55:07. > :55:11.them in other people. And it's a trait that

:55:12. > :55:16.continues into adulthood. We're joined now by the psychologist

:55:17. > :55:31.Uta Frith and Horizon's series It's a fascinating debate, what do

:55:32. > :55:37.you think, are psychopaths born or are they a product of their

:55:38. > :55:43.environment? You could see neither. It is not a simple answer. Or both?

:55:44. > :55:50.That is much more likely. A strong narrative has been that society

:55:51. > :55:57.shapes people, people can turn children into monsters and that is

:55:58. > :56:04.something I have been struggling to get away from, not to blame parents

:56:05. > :56:09.or the environment because many people growing up in terrible

:56:10. > :56:12.environments do not grow up to be psychopaths so to become a

:56:13. > :56:16.psychopath, not that you are born like that but you have to have

:56:17. > :56:21.certain genetic predisposition is to go along that path. But there will

:56:22. > :56:27.be choices all the time along that path. We would be very interested to

:56:28. > :56:34.find out what it is that makes some people get really to the dark side.

:56:35. > :56:41.High with those genetic predisposition is manifest

:56:42. > :56:47.themselves? The significant thing is, it's a kind of emotional

:56:48. > :56:52.disorder. It is an inability to resonate emotionally with others, to

:56:53. > :56:56.have that sort of empathy that for us is something that happens

:56:57. > :57:00.completely spontaneously. We are infected by the moods of others, if

:57:01. > :57:05.somebody is afraid we are infected by that but it does not happen like

:57:06. > :57:09.that for psychopaths. They do not have these kinds of feelings.

:57:10. > :57:15.Therefore it is very easy for them if they want to pursue a goal and

:57:16. > :57:19.another person stands in a way, to just get rid of them in a way that

:57:20. > :57:27.is inconceivable if you have this emotional response that is part of

:57:28. > :57:31.our normal make up. That is what is missing. We have a morbid

:57:32. > :57:34.fascination with this whole subject matter, what made you want to make

:57:35. > :57:40.this programme now, hasn't been bubbling away for a while? Firstly

:57:41. > :57:45.we made a couple of programmes before about autism and OCD and we

:57:46. > :57:49.were talking about what the next film could be and we wanted

:57:50. > :57:57.something she knew very little about so we could really explore it in an

:57:58. > :58:04.original way. The other thing is that Horizon is now 55 years old, we

:58:05. > :58:09.have over the decades look that this and looked at the science around it

:58:10. > :58:13.as decades have progressed so every 10-15 years the programme at the

:58:14. > :58:19.series editor will take another look at it and see where the science sets

:58:20. > :58:25.in today's world. I know you wrote ahead of the series to a number of

:58:26. > :58:30.psychopaths and only one responded which in some ways is interesting

:58:31. > :58:32.but also controversial because it was of course Ian Brady. We have a

:58:33. > :58:45.clip from the programme. Here are those letters. He even

:58:46. > :58:50.wrote a Christmas card. He often lists his good deeds, but what I

:58:51. > :58:55.find most interesting, Brady's thoughts about morality. Thoughts he

:58:56. > :59:01.claims he formed during his first stint in prison aim to just -- aged

:59:02. > :59:07.just 17, long before the Moors murders ever took place. He

:59:08. > :59:12.discusses his resolve to emulate the legal and moral elasticity of the

:59:13. > :59:18.privileged. If political leaders can commit murder in times of war, then

:59:19. > :59:24.surely he should be allowed to kill too? It's a fascinating insight into

:59:25. > :59:29.his mind. In fact, it's his attempt to put his own crimes, the kidnap

:59:30. > :59:41.and murder of five children, into context. That is the reality of what

:59:42. > :59:43.he did, it is about these young children and this crime. Do you

:59:44. > :59:46.worry, Steve, but by even reading those letters, you are giving him

:59:47. > :59:50.what he wanted? And it could be upsetting for the families? That is

:59:51. > :59:57.a big question we asked ourselves from the very beginning. In many

:59:58. > :00:02.ways he is dead is now so we are safe to explore that. But we took

:00:03. > :00:07.that really seriously. But that is not a reason not to have done it, if

:00:08. > :00:12.you follow me. My personal view on this is that Ian Brady gave nothing

:00:13. > :00:18.to society whatsoever except misery, that is all he gave. And if in some

:00:19. > :00:23.way being able to look at these letters and try to look at the way

:00:24. > :00:29.his mind works, that we can find something that may be in the future

:00:30. > :00:34.will allow us to identify people like him, that is worth pursuing, is

:00:35. > :00:38.how I saw it. From your perspective, it is a

:00:39. > :00:42.fascinating psychological debate. Could you have got told that Ian

:00:43. > :00:47.Brady at a younger age and may be changed something, made him not do

:00:48. > :00:51.what he eventually did? That is the big challenge. I think we are

:00:52. > :01:00.working towards precisely that, how can you prevent somebody doing these

:01:01. > :01:05.horrible crimes, what ever their lack of emotion is and whatever

:01:06. > :01:12.their own feeling of superiority might be that licenses them to do

:01:13. > :01:19.these things. Yes, we are trying to follow some sort of hopeful

:01:20. > :01:22.possibilities of some kind of treatment approaches. But as you

:01:23. > :01:25.said, we probably had to get in there at quite a young age to make a

:01:26. > :01:27.difference. Thank you both very much.

:01:52. > :01:58.Our arts correspondent David Sillito has been in search of Eldorado,

:01:59. > :02:02.and asks if, in the age of Brexit, is it the right time to revisit

:02:03. > :02:28.OK, I have slightly exaggerated how hard it is to find, but here it is,

:02:29. > :02:32.the original set of the short lived soap, Eldorado.

:02:33. > :03:01.There has been a rather unfortunate accident.

:03:02. > :03:08.One of its main stars was Polly Perkins.

:03:09. > :03:15.I asked her, fancy a trip to Eldorado?

:03:16. > :03:18.What are your thoughts looking at it?

:03:19. > :03:23.It is a terrible shame, what a waste!

:03:24. > :03:27.There were good actors, good storylines here.

:03:28. > :03:31.Would you want to bring Eldorado back?

:03:32. > :03:40.There are a lot of people, when I work in a show or do

:03:41. > :03:44.something, they ask, what happened to Eldorado?

:03:45. > :03:47.She is not the only one who would love to see it return.

:03:48. > :03:50.Ten million watched the final episode, but what would

:03:51. > :03:58.I went in search of the real-life Eldorado set on the Costa del Sol.

:03:59. > :04:13.Of course, Eldorado in 1992 reflected a time

:04:14. > :04:30.They sold their properties, they didn't want to wait to know

:04:31. > :04:42.People say it is going to be this or that, we say, nobody knows.

:04:43. > :04:45.Nobody has come out and said, this is what will affect you,

:04:46. > :04:51.It may have been lost to time, by 25 years on,

:04:52. > :04:53.the set is ready to go, just in case someone

:04:54. > :05:06.thinks it is a good time for a turbulent eurodrama.

:05:07. > :05:12.You lasted me when I said I like that programme, thank you to

:05:13. > :05:19.everyone who sends a message to say they liked it too. A little bit of

:05:20. > :05:21.sunshine in my life. I think it disappeared for a reason, that is

:05:22. > :05:21.all I will say. We're talking to Jamie Lawson later,

:07:12. > :07:13.That's it from me, I will be back with the lunchtime news at 1:30pm.

:07:14. > :07:20.Have a lovely day. When Ed Sheeran told singer

:07:21. > :07:23.Jamie Lawson he wanted to make him his first record label

:07:33. > :07:38.award last year, he's We will talk to you in a moment,

:07:39. > :07:44.that first, the new single. # Shooting stars shining

:07:45. > :07:46.down on your face. # You keep me calm when I'm

:07:47. > :07:55.a certain disgrace. # You keep me on my

:07:56. > :08:00.toes with your moves. # And you pulled me

:08:01. > :08:04.inside out and outside in. # Give my heart palpitations,

:08:05. > :08:10.keep my pulse racing. # Oh and I can't see straight

:08:11. > :08:15.when I'm thinking 'bout you. # Yeah, you make my head spin

:08:16. > :08:18.with the things that you do. # I feel dizzy when you tell

:08:19. > :08:23.me you love me too. # I can't see straight

:08:24. > :08:39.when I'm thinking 'bout you. And the man himself is on the sofa.

:08:40. > :08:44.Welcome back. Thank you very much. Louise Mensch and two years ago you

:08:45. > :08:47.were sat here, then on your way... I think the 20 minutes it took to get

:08:48. > :08:51.from here to Manchester train station you wear the number one

:08:52. > :08:56.single. We were outside the top ten, in that time it went to number nine,

:08:57. > :09:02.number five and their number one. I was in the car with Ed Sheeran and

:09:03. > :09:07.he was very excited. I didn't know what to do with myself. He was

:09:08. > :09:10.literally jumping up and down in the car. I hadn't seen him but excited

:09:11. > :09:16.about anything. He seems more excited about my thing than his.

:09:17. > :09:20.Which was quite sweet. Back with another album now, tell is a little

:09:21. > :09:26.bit about it. It has a lot of tracks? Adopt the deluxe version...

:09:27. > :09:34.Maybe I have the deluxe version. There are 17 on that. Happy

:09:35. > :09:37.Accidents, it comes out on the. You have had a couple of significant

:09:38. > :09:45.happy accidents? Both took place in the same place. There is a place in

:09:46. > :09:49.London called The Bedford in Balham, I met Ed bear on the acoustic

:09:50. > :09:55.circuit six or seven years ago. I had only met him once and got a

:09:56. > :10:00.phone call four or five later... Years later. It is also the place I

:10:01. > :10:03.met my wife. Two happy accidents. The reason it is called Happy

:10:04. > :10:09.Accidents is she walked into the wrong room, she was supposed to see

:10:10. > :10:13.a standard comedy show and walked into the wrong room, where I was

:10:14. > :10:18.playing a -- stand-up comedy show. She subsequently told me I was not

:10:19. > :10:24.very funny! And nothing has changed. She sent me a message saying hooray

:10:25. > :10:29.for happy accidents, and that. When she said you weren't very funny,

:10:30. > :10:33.what was your comeback to make sure the nation should lasted longer? I

:10:34. > :10:40.said I would try to learn some jokes. I haven't, I am still not

:10:41. > :10:48.funny. But I did OK, yeah. Ed is essentially your boss, how does that

:10:49. > :10:53.work? Is he overseeing what you are doing, fiddling about? I am on a

:10:54. > :10:57.label with Ed, through Ed that generally does not interfere in the

:10:58. > :11:02.songs I create and make and the album I want to make. I think that

:11:03. > :11:09.is very rare, I get to make the complete record I wanted to make. Ed

:11:10. > :11:15.gives advice, listens in on mixes. We recorded in LA in February, he

:11:16. > :11:19.was over to do the Grammys, I got him for an hour between doing some

:11:20. > :11:24.weird promo house cake and doing a Bee Gees tribute for the Grammys, in

:11:25. > :11:28.the time it takes to get from that place to another place in the car,

:11:29. > :11:33.we listen to my mixes and he is saying we could have some piano in

:11:34. > :11:39.here, maybe, maybe some backing vocals here? I said, I will give it

:11:40. > :11:43.a go. That is how I get it. That is fine. Whenever I read an

:11:44. > :11:47.interview with you, see you anywhere or listen to you on the radio, you

:11:48. > :11:51.seem incredibly laid-back about what has happened to you. Do you think

:11:52. > :11:55.that is because, I'm sure you don't mind me saying, you are into your

:11:56. > :11:59.40s? So the superstardom has come later than it normally comes for

:12:00. > :12:12.people? I think superstardom is pushing it a little bit! Stardom? I

:12:13. > :12:15.try to take it in as much as I can because I know it disappears. I am

:12:16. > :12:17.doing my best to enjoy it while it is here and trying to enjoy the

:12:18. > :12:26.moment. Perhaps that is why. When you were last year you were going on

:12:27. > :12:31.tour with One Direction, that has to be a phenomena in itself? Bat was

:12:32. > :12:38.strange, I am in my 40s opening up for a teen pop boy band. It was very

:12:39. > :12:43.unusual. But those One Direction fans, who are incredibly loyal to

:12:44. > :12:48.One Direction, were incredibly loyal to me. I had a number one album on

:12:49. > :12:51.that tour, so I will forever remember it and always feel very

:12:52. > :12:57.grateful to those guys for having me opening up for them, and to their

:12:58. > :13:03.fans. What is next for you? A launch show for my album on the 13th of

:13:04. > :13:13.September in London The Tabernacle, there are a couple of tickets left,

:13:14. > :13:16.but it is very small. The album comes out on the 29th, in October

:13:17. > :13:19.and November I am touring with James Blunt, I am sure that will be a lot

:13:20. > :13:23.of fun! I hear is a party animal, so I am nervous because I am not. I am

:13:24. > :13:25.not really a drinker, I will not be able to keep up with him. It could

:13:26. > :13:27.be a magical combination! Jamie's new album, called

:13:28. > :13:28.Happy Accidents, is released We're handing over now

:13:29. > :13:38.to the Countryfile Diaries team, when our countryside

:13:39. > :13:45.is bursting with colour and life. It's the season that brings out

:13:46. > :13:51.the child in us all.
