:01:52. > :01:55.First, our main story: Utility companies could be charged

:01:56. > :01:58.by the hour for digging up busy roads to carry out work

:01:59. > :02:00.on their infrastructure, under plans being put forward

:02:01. > :02:03.Ministers hope the policy would force contractors in England

:02:04. > :02:07.to speed up repairs or carry out work at night, to reduce delays

:02:08. > :02:20.Mile after mile, hour after hour of delays, caused by roadworks. It is

:02:21. > :02:23.thought one in every three of our journeys is held up like this.

:02:24. > :02:28.Around 2.5 million roadworks are carried out every year in England,

:02:29. > :02:32.costing the economy an estimated ?4 billion in lost working hours and

:02:33. > :02:36.delayed deliveries. Utility companies are not responsible for

:02:37. > :02:41.every excavated carriageway or set of traffic lights, but it is hoped

:02:42. > :02:45.this new scheme may persuade them to carry out their work more quickly,

:02:46. > :02:48.or at night, so as to cause less disruption. Under the proposals,

:02:49. > :02:54.councils could charge utility companies up to ?2500 per site to

:02:55. > :02:59.work on roads during the day. When trialled in London back in 2012,

:03:00. > :03:03.this led to a 42% drop in the levels of disruption caused by roadworks.

:03:04. > :03:08.The idea has been cautiously welcomed by the AA and the RAC, but

:03:09. > :03:13.they have warned that these changes mustn't lead to works being rushed

:03:14. > :03:16.or slapdash, simply to hand roads back as soon as possible. The Local

:03:17. > :03:20.Government Association has praised the success of the pilot schemes,

:03:21. > :03:22.and called for other councils to be given the new powers as soon as

:03:23. > :03:22.possible. In around an hour's time,

:03:41. > :03:45.Justin Rowlatt is in the eastern state of Bihar, one

:03:46. > :03:58.of the worst-affected areas. We can talk to him now. Justin, we

:03:59. > :04:00.have seen some absolutely... Pictures of devastation, awful

:04:01. > :04:04.pictures. I can see people are getting behind you, on with their

:04:05. > :04:10.daily lives, but the impact must have been very, very severe. It is

:04:11. > :04:16.incredibly severe. I mean, just in this one state in northern and

:04:17. > :04:20.eastern India, we are talking 17 million people affected, more than

:04:21. > :04:26.500 people killed. And as you say, across the region, 1400 people

:04:27. > :04:30.killed. 41 million people affected. As you can see the rains have

:04:31. > :04:34.stopped here. More rain is forecast but even without the rains it

:04:35. > :04:37.doesn't mean the disaster is over. Obviously there is a huge rebuilding

:04:38. > :04:43.effort needed, homes, schools, roads need to be rebuilt, and then there

:04:44. > :04:47.is the danger of disease. Many people were exposed to the

:04:48. > :04:52.floodwaters for days and there is a real issue with diarrhoea and other

:04:53. > :04:57.waterborne diseases, and that is causing huge problems still across

:04:58. > :05:01.South Asia. Justin, thank you very much. We will be talking to Justin

:05:02. > :05:02.throughout the programme to keep on top of the situation there.

:05:07. > :05:10.He will fly to Houston, accompanied by the First Lady,

:05:11. > :05:12.where he will meet survivors and volunteers involved

:05:31. > :05:37.The sheriffs of Houston are still working 12 hour shifts, even though

:05:38. > :05:41.the floodwaters they battled earlier in the week are mostly gone. Like

:05:42. > :05:45.nothing they had ever experienced before, a disaster on a scale rarely

:05:46. > :05:49.seen in the US. The water was over this Bridge right here. They

:05:50. > :05:54.remember the ones they were not able to rescue. Some of them were not

:05:55. > :05:57.able to get out in time for them to get help, and they were basically

:05:58. > :06:02.stuck inside their house. And they are crippled or they can't even get

:06:03. > :06:11.outside of the residents. And they died. -- the residence. The sweep of

:06:12. > :06:15.the storm caught people by surprise. After hitting Houston for as it

:06:16. > :06:19.continued east, keeping emergency crews busy right through the east.

:06:20. > :06:25.In Harvey's wake there is massive disruption. Chemical spills caused

:06:26. > :06:30.by at this plant. There is anxiety about toxins. And in mucky,

:06:31. > :06:36.waterlogged neighbourhoods, now comes the sober reckoning. What can

:06:37. > :06:41.be salvaged, how much is lost, and who will pay the enormous bill? The

:06:42. > :06:45.Trump administration got good marks for it early response to this

:06:46. > :06:48.disaster. Now it will need to show the staying power needed to recover

:06:49. > :06:50.and rebuild. This will be the big test.

:06:51. > :06:53.A former shadow cabinet minister has warned that a significant gap has

:06:54. > :06:55.appeared between attitudes in London and Labour's northern heartlands.

:06:56. > :06:58.Rotherham MP Sarah Champion resigned as shadow women and equalities

:06:59. > :07:01.minister last month over comments she made about the grooming scandal

:07:02. > :07:07.In an interview in the Times today, she accuses her colleagues

:07:08. > :07:10.in the south of being afraid of speaking out on issues such

:07:11. > :07:18.as that, for fear of being branded racist.

:07:19. > :07:20.A grammar school which forced pupils to leave halfway

:07:35. > :07:37.The lawyer representing the families has said the school has

:07:38. > :07:40.changed its mind and will allow the pupils back in.

:07:41. > :07:43.Free solar panels are to be installed on hundreds of thousands

:07:44. > :07:46.of homes across England and Wales over the next five years.

:07:47. > :07:48.The project, which is funded by Dutch investment,

:07:49. > :07:52.is expected to lower household bills and create over 1,000 new jobs.

:07:53. > :08:10.Energy prices have been rising in the past year, with British Gas

:08:11. > :08:15.being the latest provider to announce further hikes. A 12.5%

:08:16. > :08:22.increase to come into effect this month. The big suppliers and

:08:23. > :08:25.government have scolded the reasons behind higher prices. The government

:08:26. > :08:28.is exploring other options to provide value for money for the most

:08:29. > :08:32.vulnerable of households. It is hoping that the British sunshine

:08:33. > :08:35.might help out. Sola has become one of the cheapest sources of energy,

:08:36. > :08:39.and that is why the government thinks that panels like these are

:08:40. > :08:44.the solution to our rising energy bills. These houses in acting, in

:08:45. > :08:49.west London, are some of the first beneficiaries of a new scheme that

:08:50. > :08:53.will see 100,000 social housing properties have solar panels

:08:54. > :08:57.installed in the next 18 months -- Acton. The company behind the

:08:58. > :09:02.scheme, Solar Publicity, say they have found that their tenants save

:09:03. > :09:08.an average of ?240 a year on their energy bills. These residents in

:09:09. > :09:12.Acton are hoping they are right. I think it is a good idea, and

:09:13. > :09:18.especially going to save on bills in the long run, in the long-term we

:09:19. > :09:22.are going to save, I think. So I think it is a very good idea. Ealing

:09:23. > :09:27.Borough Council say that they had planned on covering more homes, but

:09:28. > :09:30.cuts to tariffs and subsidies has meant they simply cannot afford to

:09:31. > :09:36.do so. But the government insists that the falling price of solar now

:09:37. > :09:41.means that the industry does not require help. What we want to see

:09:42. > :09:44.is, and this is actually a good scheme, showing how you don't need

:09:45. > :09:48.to subsidise solar power as much, but still make it highly effective.

:09:49. > :09:53.You know, we are talking here about the potential of 100,000 homes

:09:54. > :09:57.across the country, in the next five years, with a combination of

:09:58. > :10:01.fantastic UK company and investment coming in from abroad, and cheaper

:10:02. > :10:07.deals. Cheaper and greener energy, that is our objective. Expansion of

:10:08. > :10:11.solar is now largely reliant on the business case for it. Councils and

:10:12. > :10:12.households increasingly looking to private investors for encouragement

:10:16. > :10:18.cloud which affected parts of East Sussex last Sunday

:10:19. > :10:20.is looking into the possibility that it may have been caused

:10:57. > :11:01.head, being evacuated, after people reported having irritated eyes, sore

:11:02. > :11:06.throats and vomiting. I had a bit of a dry chest, and then as we came off

:11:07. > :11:10.the beach, then it really kind of hit, and we were all kind of

:11:11. > :11:13.coughing a little bit. My children were really, really upset, their

:11:14. > :11:21.eyes really painful. Coastguard rescue teams raced to help clear the

:11:22. > :11:25.area, but by the end of Sunday evening, around 150 people had to be

:11:26. > :11:30.treated, with others reporting discomfort. Sussex Police said those

:11:31. > :11:36.who require treatment experienced mostly minor effects. Monitoring

:11:37. > :11:40.equipment was used at the time to try and identify the cause, at the

:11:41. > :11:45.readings were inconclusive. The Maritime and Coastguard Agency now

:11:46. > :11:50.think the gas may have come from one of the many shipwrecks in the

:11:51. > :11:54.English Channel. It is also investigating discharges from

:11:55. > :11:55.passing ships, or lost cargo, as a possible cause.

:12:34. > :12:35.They ducked and dived, illuminating the sky,

:12:36. > :12:43.while thousands of people watched from below.

:12:44. > :12:50.Could have watched those for quite awhile, actually. A few more of

:12:51. > :12:54.those later, I think. Let's look at what is happening on the front

:12:55. > :13:05.pages. Starting with the daily this morning, the picture you are seeing

:13:06. > :13:10.is Tom Hiddleston, at the night manager. Only a few people will see

:13:11. > :13:14.it, because it is in a small theatre, and it has been sold by

:13:15. > :13:19.lottery weeks ago. Only a few tickets were available. If you see

:13:20. > :13:25.it, let's hope he is good. The National trust aiding hunt

:13:49. > :13:52.about sex gangs in her constituency in Rotherham. She said it was easier

:13:53. > :13:56.for her to speak out as a northern politician than it would be for some

:13:57. > :14:00.southern members, southern English members of her party. She says there

:14:01. > :14:07.is a divide between North and south of the willingness to accept what is

:15:23. > :15:26.through our bins to snoop on us, they are rifling through our bins to

:15:27. > :15:30.check we are putting the recycling. And they are keeping a note of what

:15:31. > :15:36.we put in which bin, so you have been warned.

:15:51. > :16:01.at this morning's weather. I was trying to get Carol earlier

:16:02. > :16:06.this week and then mapped to push away this band of rain. They

:16:07. > :16:14.couldn't do it, I don't know if Tom can. Good morning. I will try my

:16:15. > :16:19.best. I don't know if I can. I will show you a picture of where it is

:16:20. > :16:23.right now that I can tell you that most of us today will have a fine

:16:24. > :16:26.day and lots of nice bright weather on the way a light wind, singing

:16:27. > :16:33.birds, to bridge quite pleasant. This is what we're talking about,

:16:34. > :16:37.this lump of cloud that I am trying to push out of the way. I don't

:16:38. > :16:44.think I can, it is Mother Nature. It comes away and the advice is that if

:16:45. > :16:49.you have any outdoor plants, make the most of them. It will hit

:16:50. > :16:55.Ireland during the course of this afternoon. It is fired at four

:16:56. > :16:59.o'clock that there are clouds pushing in over in the far west of

:17:00. > :17:06.Northern Ireland but for the vast majority of the UK a fine day, and

:17:07. > :17:11.temperatures around 19 degrees. There is a chance that East Anglia

:17:12. > :17:15.in the south-east could pick up a cloud with a shower, a brief shower,

:17:16. > :17:19.that should get out of the way. That is the minority. Find this evening

:17:20. > :17:25.and then this is it coming through. It is not able all of water, it is

:17:26. > :17:29.rain coming through. By the end of the night you can see it in the

:17:30. > :17:34.south-west of Wales, moving through Northern Ireland. This band of rain

:17:35. > :17:39.here will be slowly moving towards the east during the course of

:17:40. > :17:44.Sunday. It is not rushing, it moves slowly. The heaviest rain will fall

:17:45. > :17:48.where most of us do not live, in the hills and mountains, but for most

:17:49. > :17:54.towns and cities it will be overcast and drizzly. One of these days where

:17:55. > :18:00.there is some rain and it is cloudy. The Far east here, talking Norwich,

:18:01. > :18:08.it may not actually get rain until the evening and even if it does

:18:09. > :18:11.reach, it will be light. Summarise that, Saturday is the best day and

:18:12. > :18:16.then there is rain on the way for Sunday. That is the best I can do.

:18:17. > :18:23.That is brilliant. I knew you could do it. That band of rain or was

:18:24. > :18:30.thick yesterday and the day before that and now it has turned into

:18:31. > :18:34.scattered showers. Magic. Another 3.5 hours, and you will have it

:18:35. > :18:57.solved. 18 minutes past six. Time now for The Film Review.

:18:58. > :19:06.Hello and welcome to The Film Review on BBC News. To take us through this

:19:07. > :19:10.week's releases is James King. What have you watched this week? Murder

:19:11. > :19:18.in the east end in Victorian thriller the Limehouse Golem. A New

:19:19. > :19:23.Jersey girl thinks she is the unlikely saviour of hip-hop in patty

:19:24. > :19:31.cakes and he said he will be back and now he is an old returns in the

:19:32. > :19:42.3-D rerelease of Terminator two. He did warn us. We will start with Lion

:19:43. > :19:46.House Golem. Bill Nighy, always a big draw this is set in Victorian

:19:47. > :19:50.nearer London in the dank back streets and music halls of the East

:19:51. > :20:04.End. A thriller about a murder on the loose. Let's have a look at bill

:20:05. > :20:10.in action the brilliant Daniel Mays. What are you looking for? I am just

:20:11. > :20:15.looking. Trying to understand. The goal is a madman. Even madness has

:20:16. > :20:22.logic. At Ratcliffe Highway he's lauded a highway. Prior to that, a

:20:23. > :20:35.prostitute. Before that, an old man, a scholar. Oh, my God. He laid upon

:20:36. > :20:40.the open pages of a book on Jewish folklore. Like a book market. The of

:20:41. > :20:47.the Golem. Is out how the Prescott the name? Our murderer approved. I

:20:48. > :20:57.remember reading that one. Her name was Jane Quigg. I am a big fan of

:20:58. > :21:03.Daniel as well. Is over the top? I have read many things that say it is

:21:04. > :21:08.that can sometimes a good thing. Gothic horror, isn't it? I find it

:21:09. > :21:13.gripping. It is glory in parts but not overly so. It is a thriller

:21:14. > :21:22.rather than a horror film. For me it was all about the cast. We saw

:21:23. > :21:29.Daniel Mays and Bill Nighy. I would watch them in anything. A strong

:21:30. > :21:33.cast. What is going on in this film is an undercurrent to that murder

:21:34. > :21:39.story, too that's real element it is a film about performance and about

:21:40. > :21:43.how performance was so important at this time in music halls but also

:21:44. > :21:49.just two people in their everyday life. There are people in this movie

:21:50. > :21:53.who put on a mask every day and play a role. And then there is the goal

:21:54. > :21:59.himself who was a walk to perform who wants recognition. When you have

:22:00. > :22:03.that undercurrent running through the movie, that obviously gives the

:22:04. > :22:07.cast something juicy to sink their teeth into. And the music all is

:22:08. > :22:13.well. It is a seductive world. Reminded me of tipping the Velvet.

:22:14. > :22:20.Very rich and seductive. That is a great thing to watch at the movies

:22:21. > :22:24.as well. Jane Goldman adapted the book that this was originally and

:22:25. > :22:30.she has done a good job. There is a lot of plot going on and she has

:22:31. > :22:35.done a good job of streamlining it, drip feeding information, pennies

:22:36. > :22:44.drop just the right moment. I a big fan. How about patty cakes it sure

:22:45. > :22:48.would add Sundance and you get independent films from their

:22:49. > :22:53.crossing over into the mainstream. Fox would love this to be a

:22:54. > :22:59.crossover hit. It is about a girl from New Jersey, patty, who leads a

:23:00. > :23:06.downbeat life. She dreams of making it big in hip-hop. Daniel McDonald,

:23:07. > :23:12.there she is, an Australian, a relative newcomer. The problem is

:23:13. > :23:17.that it is very funny and charming but it does not quite know what it

:23:18. > :23:24.wants to be. Sometimes it is quite kitsch and camp, reminding me of

:23:25. > :23:29.Hairspray. A great film. Quite over the top. Sometimes this film then

:23:30. > :23:35.gets serious and wants to make a political and social point and it

:23:36. > :23:39.goes sort of eight Mile from. The problem is that it is six of one and

:23:40. > :23:45.half a dozen of the other. Having said that, the music is great and it

:23:46. > :23:48.is subversive, an overweight white girl in the world of hip-hop which

:23:49. > :23:56.is traditionally far more glamorous and macho. I'm just not certain

:23:57. > :24:01.whether or not it knows if it is a full on comedy or full on

:24:02. > :24:06.seriousness. It is an unsettled mix of the two. Shears... So she is a

:24:07. > :24:12.good performer, quite charismatic. Look out for her. I said we were

:24:13. > :24:18.going to save the best till last. Terminator two, so good they have

:24:19. > :24:25.brought it back decades later. 26 years later in 3-D. Some would say

:24:26. > :24:33.that Arnold Schwarzenegger's acting was barely in 2-dimensional, later

:24:34. > :24:37.let alone three, and now James Cameron, of these 3-D success with

:24:38. > :24:41.Titanic, has gotten the same team to do the same thing with Terminator

:24:42. > :24:52.two. Let's have a look at a classic scene. Keep it under 65. We do not

:24:53. > :25:00.want to be pulled over. affirmative. now. You have to listen to the way

:25:01. > :25:07.people talk. You do not say affirmative. You say no problem. And

:25:08. > :25:16.if someone comes up to you with an attitude, you say eat meat. And if

:25:17. > :25:25.you want to tell them to go away, it is hasta la vista, baby. Or you

:25:26. > :25:31.could say chill out. Chill out. I had almost forgotten that phrase but

:25:32. > :25:36.now it is back to haunt us all. Is a point to this? I appreciate you say

:25:37. > :25:43.that it has been and in 3-D. The 3-D is fine. A good job. Aren't seeing

:25:44. > :25:49.this when it first came out on the big scene, sorry, I did not see it,

:25:50. > :25:53.so seeing it on the big screen is amazing because it is this movie of

:25:54. > :26:03.awesome set pieces and action scenes. There are some bad. Sarah

:26:04. > :26:07.Konta, the Linda Hamilton character, is one of the great action heroes of

:26:08. > :26:12.all-time. It is wonderful seeing her on the big screen. Seeing it as big

:26:13. > :26:17.as you can, perhaps you have never seen it on the big screen, this is a

:26:18. > :26:22.great opportunity to catch up. It is old but it still works. Some special

:26:23. > :26:26.effects still look creepy, James Cameron admits that, but it is so

:26:27. > :26:32.gutsy with such power and bravado that it still packs a punch. And you

:26:33. > :26:36.may be very young and not even born when this was first released. Maybe

:26:37. > :26:42.there is a whole new audience. Or will they look and think it is all a

:26:43. > :26:46.bit dated? In 1991 this was the most expensive film of all-time. Even

:26:47. > :26:52.though it is old now it still holds up because they put so much into it

:26:53. > :26:57.when it first came out. It is worth looking up if you have never seen it

:26:58. > :27:04.before. yes. You do forget how much it cost at the time. The best out?

:27:05. > :27:09.Detroit. A difficult movie to watch, based on true events in Detroit 50

:27:10. > :27:14.years ago, the fateful events of one night in the city. It is doing OK

:27:15. > :27:20.business in the UK at the moment but I would like to see it do better.

:27:21. > :27:25.Perhaps we have had a feel of intensity with Dunkirk and people

:27:26. > :27:35.can not handle another intense story. It is worth seeing. Look out

:27:36. > :27:39.for the great acts and the director, Kathryn Bigelow, she was married to

:27:40. > :27:49.James Cameron when he made Terminator. And DVD, something to

:27:50. > :27:55.lift us? If you do not want something dark and bleak, something

:27:56. > :28:03.funny and silly? This is mind won. An out of work actor who was big in

:28:04. > :28:07.the 1980s but has been down on his luck ever since. Then he gets a call

:28:08. > :28:12.from the police saying that there is a criminal on the loose obsessed

:28:13. > :28:15.with the old TV show and they need him to get back into character to

:28:16. > :28:23.help them solve the crime. That is what he does. From funny gags in

:28:24. > :28:30.this about acting and TV detectives, plenty of jokes about the Isle of

:28:31. > :28:40.Man. Done with affection. Julian Barrett stars in a salute does Steve

:28:41. > :28:48.Coogan. Julian Barrett stars in it. Even though you laugh, it is done

:28:49. > :28:52.with affection and respect for the genres it is making fun of. I know

:28:53. > :28:58.some people felt it was almost its series of TV sketches sewn together.

:28:59. > :29:05.And stay for the end of. The end credits are a joy. That is a good

:29:06. > :29:11.tip. Excellent. Thank you very much, lovely to see you again. James King

:29:12. > :29:16.there with all of your pointers as to what you might like to see this

:29:17. > :29:19.week. That is it for this week. Thank you for being with us and

:29:20. > :29:52.enjoy whatever you may see over the next few days.

:29:53. > :29:55.Hello, this is Breakfast with Jon Kay and Naga Munchetty.

:29:56. > :29:58.Coming up before 7:00am, we will get the weather with Tomasz.

:29:59. > :30:00.But first, at 6:30am, a summary of this morning's main

:30:01. > :30:20.More heavy rain forecast in South Asia, where this year's monsoon

:30:21. > :30:28.season has left millions of people displaced. It is believed 1400

:30:29. > :30:30.people have died. Parts of Mumbai are under several feet of water.

:30:31. > :30:33.President Trump is to visit Texas again today to assess the flood

:30:34. > :30:38.He will fly to Houston, where he will meet survivors

:30:39. > :30:39.and volunteers involved in the relief effort.

:30:40. > :30:43.A chemical plant near the city has exploded after its cooling system

:30:44. > :30:47.Utility companies could be charged by the hour for digging up busy

:30:48. > :30:50.roads in England, under plans being put forward by the Government.

:30:51. > :30:53.Ministers hope the policy would force contractors to speed up

:30:54. > :30:56.repairs or carry out work at night to reduce delays.

:30:57. > :30:59.Trials in London and Kent have indicated that firms avoided working

:31:00. > :31:04.The investigation into the chemical cloud which affected parts

:31:05. > :31:07.of East Sussex last Sunday is looking into the possibility

:31:08. > :31:10.that it may have been caused by emissions from known shipwrecks

:31:11. > :31:24.The beach at Birling Gap, near Eastbourne, was closed

:31:25. > :31:28.Around 150 people had to be treated, with others reporting discomfort.

:31:29. > :31:31.The Maritime and Coastguard Agency is now investigating.

:31:32. > :31:33.Tennis star Serena Williams has given birth to a baby girl

:31:34. > :31:41.News of the birth came as her sister Venus prepared to go out on court

:31:42. > :31:44.Congratulations have been pouring in from sports stars

:31:45. > :31:47.and celebrities, including Beyonce and Rafa Nadal.

:31:48. > :31:49.The Yellow Pages telephone directory will be printed for the last

:31:50. > :32:08.I don't suppose you have a copy of Flyfishing by JR Hartley.

:32:09. > :32:16.I remember actually looking for a copy. Of the Yellow Pages? No,

:32:17. > :32:20.Flyfishing by JR Hartley. Well-known for its 1980s advertising

:32:21. > :32:22.campaign featuring the fictional author JR Hartley, who managed

:32:23. > :32:25.to find an out-of-print book, the Yellow Pages has been

:32:26. > :32:28.in production for 51 years. Its owner, Yell, says it

:32:29. > :32:30.will continue online. The last of the books will be

:32:31. > :32:33.delivered in Brighton, the same place the first edition

:32:34. > :32:51.was distributed in 1966. Everyone loved him, didn't they? Let

:32:52. > :32:58.your fingers do the walking, was it? And it was a huge book. I was a bit

:32:59. > :33:08.vertically challenged at times, used to... To stack? To reach shelves and

:33:09. > :33:14.things. It had so many uses. Love the smell, as well. There is a

:33:15. > :33:26.generation... There is a generation which has absolutely no clue what we

:33:27. > :33:31.are talking about. Anyway. That was a nice moment of nostalgia. Now

:33:32. > :33:36.what? England saved themselves with a late flurry of goals. Well done to

:33:37. > :33:40.Scotland, they still have work to do but they are back on track to try

:33:41. > :33:41.and beat Russia next year. And Northern Ireland are in the

:33:42. > :33:42.play-offs, going really well. It was a successful night

:33:43. > :33:45.for the Home Nations, Northern Ireland are on the verge

:33:46. > :33:51.of the play-offs, after winning 3-0 And, as James Burford explains,

:33:52. > :33:55.Scotland's 3-0 win in Lithuania has given them hope again that they can

:33:56. > :33:59.reach next summer's World Cup. Where there's a will, there's a way,

:34:00. > :34:02.and Gordon Strachan's sons of Scotland certainly showed the way

:34:03. > :34:06.to Russia 2018 isn't over yet. A win was all that would do,

:34:07. > :34:09.and a winning performance was what the players

:34:10. > :34:12.delivered from the get go. Stuart Armstrong strong-armed his

:34:13. > :34:14.way to the scoresheet, But it got better -

:34:15. > :34:17.Liverpool's new man, Andy Robertson, showing why

:34:18. > :34:20.some are calling him Scotland's Gareth Bale,

:34:21. > :34:23.Strachan clearly impressed. Two goals to the good,

:34:24. > :34:26.how about a third? Three points in the bag,

:34:27. > :34:28.three goals, too. James McArthur following up some

:34:29. > :34:31.quick thinking with his In Malta, England faced 30-degree

:34:32. > :34:42.temperatures and a resilient defence, one that eventually wilted

:34:43. > :34:56.when Dele Alli found Harry Kane. Ryan Bertrand's first international

:34:57. > :34:58.strike came from a full 30 yards out, before Danny Welbeck made

:34:59. > :35:01.a goalscoring return There was even time for Kane to get

:35:02. > :35:05.in on the act again, three goals in the last six

:35:06. > :35:08.minutes perhaps flattering Northern Ireland's grip on second

:35:09. > :35:11.place in their group A dominant performance

:35:12. > :35:14.in San Marino, where Josh Magennis was the star of the show,

:35:15. > :35:17.scoring not once but twice, to help them go seven points clear

:35:18. > :35:20.of the next-closest side. Another from the penalty spot

:35:21. > :35:23.from captain Steven Davis put the seal on a fantastic night

:35:24. > :35:39.for the Home Nations. When we say on one day, do you think

:35:40. > :35:46.we can win? Yes, I think we can win. Do you think you are improving? Yes,

:35:47. > :35:50.I think we are improving. Did I think we would have that many

:35:51. > :35:53.attempts at goal is? No, I didn't think so. It was a game where our

:35:54. > :35:57.attack came from different angles, which was good for us as well. Of

:35:58. > :36:01.course, we would like to have scored our goals earlier. If we had scored

:36:02. > :36:05.our goals earlier tonight it would have helped things different. For me

:36:06. > :36:08.that is the benefit of having played for England. Because I have been

:36:09. > :36:12.involved in nights like this before. I have seen other managers go

:36:13. > :36:15.through it. I have been on the pitch when we haven't scored loads of

:36:16. > :36:19.goals against teams who are supposedly knows because they are so

:36:20. > :36:22.well organised. So it goes with the territory.

:36:23. > :36:26.In the past hour, Maria Sharapova, has made her way through to

:36:27. > :36:29.the fourth round of the US Open, with a straight-sets win over Sofia

:36:30. > :36:35.But there will be no British interest in the second week

:36:36. > :36:37.at Flushing Meadows, after Kyle Edmund was forced

:36:38. > :36:40.to retire in his third-round clash with Denis Shapovalov.

:36:41. > :36:42.The match was evenly poised at a set all,

:36:43. > :36:44.with both players getting into the rhythm.

:36:45. > :36:47.But just as the contest was heating up, Edmund called for the physio,

:36:48. > :36:51.He returned to the court briefly, losing the third set,

:36:52. > :36:59.before reluctantly retiring at the start of the fourth.

:37:00. > :37:08.We just feel a bit helpless, really. What can I do, you know? Do you

:37:09. > :37:13.carry on to the end, but you just go through the motions, in a sorry

:37:14. > :37:16.state, and you don't want a pull-out straightaway, you want to see is

:37:17. > :37:21.going to get better? But ultimately I thought I am not going to win two

:37:22. > :37:23.more sets like this. You know, I was... I knew that I wasn't going to

:37:24. > :37:25.win two more sets feeling like that. The domestic rugby union season got

:37:26. > :37:28.off to a pulsating start last night, with Gloucester scoring

:37:29. > :37:31.a last-minute try to beat defending The game was level at 21-21,

:37:32. > :37:35.and heading for a draw, when Gloucester full-back

:37:36. > :37:38.Jason Woodward popped up in the 82nd minute of the game to snatch

:37:39. > :37:40.an opening-day victory. In the night's other Premiership

:37:41. > :37:51.game, Newcastle beat Worcester 35-8. The expanded Pro14 also got

:37:52. > :37:53.under way last night, and it was an impressive

:37:54. > :37:55.start for Ulster. They beat League debutants

:37:56. > :37:58.the South African side the Cheetahs, 42-19, All Black Charles Piutau

:37:59. > :38:01.scoring one of Ulster's six tries. There were also wins

:38:02. > :38:07.for Edinburgh and Munster. Wigan returned to winning ways,

:38:08. > :38:09.after their Challenge Cup final defeat, with a 26-16 win over

:38:10. > :38:12.St Helens in the Super Eights. Anthony Gelling scored one

:38:13. > :38:15.of their four tries, as they close the gap

:38:16. > :38:17.on third-placed Hull Elsewhere, Castleford

:38:18. > :38:19.won at Huddersfield, There is a big day ahead

:38:20. > :38:35.in domestic cricket, as Nottinghamshire can do

:38:36. > :38:37.the one-day double if they win They have already won

:38:38. > :38:41.the One-Day Cup this season, and face Hampshire in one

:38:42. > :38:43.of today's T20 semi-finals. The winners will then meet either

:38:44. > :38:46.home side Birmingham or Glamorgan, the county, who are making

:38:47. > :38:54.their first appearance After winning the quarterfinal at

:38:55. > :38:59.home, you know, last week, just seeing the smiles on people's faces,

:39:00. > :39:03.and sort of the levels of joy that were around amongst our team and our

:39:04. > :39:09.squad, and then the fans as well, and just a good buzz around cricket

:39:10. > :39:12.in Wales. So I think that will be absolutely fantastic. I know the

:39:13. > :39:17.guys will be having a good crack at it. We are in a great space as a

:39:18. > :39:23.squad, and I am sure we have a great chance.

:39:24. > :39:25.Western Storm are women's T20 champions after beating

:39:26. > :39:30.Some big hitting from Rachel Priest and Stafanie Taylor,

:39:31. > :39:32.guided them home with two overs to spare.

:39:33. > :39:40.After the game, the Vipers' and former England captain

:39:41. > :39:41.Charlotte Edwards announced her retirement from cricket.

:39:42. > :39:43.Edwards is England's most-capped female player.

:39:44. > :39:46.She stepped away from international cricket last year, after a career

:39:47. > :39:52.Mercedes are setting the pace in Monza, ahead

:39:53. > :39:55.of the Italian Grand Prix this weekend.

:39:56. > :39:57.Valterri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton were quickest in practise yesterday.

:39:58. > :40:00.Bottas topped the second session, following Hamilton, who was just

:40:01. > :40:04.Hamilton's title rival Sebastian Vettel wasn't too far

:40:05. > :40:08.Final practise and qualifying get under way later this morning.

:40:09. > :40:20.Later we will have more on the build-up to Wales - Austria in World

:40:21. > :40:23.Cup qualifying. You can play it professionally?

:40:24. > :40:29.A nurse at a hospital in Utah has said she was assaulted by police

:40:30. > :40:34.after refusing to give officers a blood sample from one of her

:40:35. > :40:36.patients. The city's mayor has apologised, saying the officer's

:40:37. > :40:40.behaviour was completely unacceptable.

:40:41. > :40:49.The University of Utah Hospital, in Salt Lake City. A nurse, Alex, is

:40:50. > :40:53.talking to police officers. They want a sample of blood from one of

:40:54. > :40:59.her patients. The driver of a lorry who was badly burnt in a crash and

:41:00. > :41:03.is now in a coma. He is not under arrest, he can't give consent, and

:41:04. > :41:10.the police don't have a warrant. So the nurse says they can't have the

:41:11. > :41:21.sample. I am just trying to do what I am supposed to do, that's all.

:41:22. > :41:30.He grabs hold of the nurse and takes her into custody.

:41:31. > :41:35.The only job I have as a nurse is to keep my patients safe.

:41:36. > :41:38.A blood draw is not - it just gets thrown around like it's

:41:39. > :41:42.But blood is your blood, that's your property.

:41:43. > :41:45.Now, the city's Mayor has waded in, saying the incident was completely

:41:46. > :41:47.unacceptable, and that she has personally apologised.

:41:48. > :41:51.The city's chief of police was similarly contrite.

:41:52. > :41:55.I am sad at the rift this has caused between law enforcement

:41:56. > :41:57.and the nurses we work so closely with.

:41:58. > :42:01.It is reported that the officer involved has now been stopped

:42:02. > :42:03.from collecting blood, but was otherwise not

:42:04. > :42:12.The University of Utah issued a statement praising the nurse

:42:13. > :42:14.for her decision to focus on the care

:42:15. > :42:28.That story is getting an awful lot of traction on social media.

:42:29. > :42:31.Remarkable. With the outcome of the Brexit negotiations being uncertain,

:42:32. > :42:35.some financial institutions based in the UK are establishing outpost on

:42:36. > :42:37.what we used to call the continent to help manage any possible

:42:38. > :42:52.disruption. Amsterdam, home of the world's

:42:53. > :42:58.oldest stock exchange, mounting a new challenge to post Brexit London.

:42:59. > :43:02.I think it is very young, the cost of living is very good compared to

:43:03. > :43:08.in London. And also, being part of the continent. After the Brexit

:43:09. > :43:12.outcome, we see companies moving to Amsterdam, especially the more tech

:43:13. > :43:17.savvy companies, which need a European passport. The passport

:43:18. > :43:20.means companies in the UK can service customers in Europe. That

:43:21. > :43:26.may not be possible after the UK leads, which is why this company is

:43:27. > :43:33.setting up shop in Amsterdam. Europe represents about half of our

:43:34. > :43:36.business in 2017. So as there is no clarity, yet, of course, on the

:43:37. > :43:41.outcome of the negotiations, we need to be able to be prepared for

:43:42. > :43:45.multiple different outcomes. Hence we choose Amsterdam. So what awaits

:43:46. > :43:56.those looking for a new European home? So welcome. Thank you. Hard to

:43:57. > :44:01.pronounce but easier to afford. The cost of living and working in

:44:02. > :44:06.Amsterdam is half that of London. Nice view of the canals. You can

:44:07. > :44:11.cycle to work or even fly back to the UK in under an hour. Now, you

:44:12. > :44:15.may be thinking who cares if a few bankers leave the UK? Well, apart

:44:16. > :44:19.from the job than the tax revenue they bring in, doing business under

:44:20. > :44:22.one roof, the one roof that is London, is very efficient. If you

:44:23. > :44:26.splinter all that business is through the capitals of Europe, it

:44:27. > :44:30.becomes much less efficient, and that increases the cost of banks,

:44:31. > :44:34.and insurance companies, and they pass that on to their customers, and

:44:35. > :44:38.that means you and me. The Chancellor would certainly care. He

:44:39. > :44:43.collected ?70 billion in taxes from financial services last year. That

:44:48. > :44:56.minister did not mince his words to me earlier this year. Do you have a

:44:57. > :45:02.message for London? Come to Paris! But, in Amsterdam, typically, they

:45:03. > :45:04.have a more laid-back approach. We haven't done any aggressive

:45:05. > :45:08.campaigning. First of all because I don't believe that companies are

:45:09. > :45:11.persuaded by just an aggressive campaign, and secondly because

:45:12. > :45:16.London is our partner city. And I think a strong London is good for

:45:17. > :45:21.Amsterdam, and vice-versa. Aggressive, no. But they are

:45:22. > :45:26.considering loosening a bonus cap and adding 1500 international school

:45:27. > :45:35.places. In the post- Brexit beauty parade, this city means business.

:45:36. > :45:41.You could understand why people would want to live their. It is a

:45:42. > :45:44.stunning. The race is on. Let's have a look now at the way that. What is

:45:45. > :46:22.happening? Good morning. It looks weather front with the cloud in the

:46:23. > :46:27.rain of right over us, toppling over during the night, over us tomorrow.

:46:28. > :46:33.But not tomorrow. Hira the temperatures at four p.m., you can

:46:34. > :46:40.see temperatures there are, Cardiff about the same. 18, 19 degrees

:46:41. > :46:44.across the country, basically. London always a little warmer,

:46:45. > :46:50.probably reaching 20 or 21. If you are unlucky, Kent, Sussex, Essex,

:46:51. > :46:54.there could be a cloud with a shower to it that is pretty much it. And

:46:55. > :46:59.now here comes the rain. Most of the, it will not be heavy, many of

:47:00. > :47:04.us have a dry night tonight so if you leave your washing outage should

:47:05. > :47:07.be fine if you live in the of the UK. Tomorrow the weather front piles

:47:08. > :47:15.grew but it will be slow-moving. It will claw its way like that. Like

:47:16. > :47:20.this towards the east the big eastern areas tomorrow, anywhere

:47:21. > :47:24.from about Newcastle may stay dry through most of the afternoon

:47:25. > :47:29.whereas western areas have a lot of cloud and bits and pieces of rain,

:47:30. > :47:38.hill fog on the drizzle, that sort of Sunday afternoon. Not too windy.

:47:39. > :47:41.Through the course of Sunday evening, some mucky weather will

:47:42. > :47:44.push on a little further towards the east. Let's summarise that. A sunny

:47:45. > :47:48.Saturday today and then tomorrow some of us, eventually all of us,

:47:49. > :47:54.will get a little rain. Not too bad at all. Thank you very much. 647 and

:47:55. > :47:57.we will be back with the headlines at the top of the hour. But first it

:47:58. > :48:16.is time for Click. Believe it or not, modern nursing

:48:17. > :48:20.as we know it only dates back to the 1800s, to the time

:48:21. > :48:23.of Florence Nightingale The Royal College of Nursing,

:48:24. > :48:28.here in London, is now For all the life-saving

:48:29. > :48:34.technology that we've seen, the actual act of nursing itself

:48:35. > :48:38.is one relationship that so far has And in the UK, a quarter

:48:39. > :48:54.will be over 65 by 2045. This all means that the pressures

:48:55. > :48:56.on nursing are increasing, and looking after elderly people

:48:57. > :49:04.is becoming a pressing issue Kat Hawkins travelled to Helsinki,

:49:05. > :49:09.in Finland, to discover whether one of these could become

:49:10. > :49:12.the new one of these. I'm here in Helsinki,

:49:13. > :49:19.visiting the home of Marja Roth She is an ex-air hostess,

:49:20. > :49:34.who likes to keep active But, after a skiing accident a few

:49:35. > :49:44.years ago, she developed epilepsy. I was unconscious for a little

:49:45. > :49:49.while, then got up and skied, Her epilepsy means she needs daily

:49:50. > :49:54.medication and that her family, who live in New York,

:49:55. > :49:59.want to make sure she's OK. They get this reassurance

:50:00. > :50:04.from her daily nursing visit, Do you think that this

:50:05. > :50:09.is as good as a nursing visit? It's better because they see,

:50:10. > :50:11.actually physical, see me, and then I don't have to wait

:50:12. > :50:14.for somebody to come. They want to check basically that

:50:15. > :50:18.I - ask if I took my pill, and... Face, actually, to see the picture,

:50:19. > :50:26.to see that I'm OK. At the other end of the line

:50:27. > :50:29.is Tuomo Kuivamaki. He is one of the nurses

:50:30. > :50:31.here in Helsinki's first Here, teams of trained nurses each

:50:32. > :50:37.make up to 50 video calls per day to people around the city

:50:38. > :50:40.who need support. So you've still got that

:50:41. > :50:43.kind of real human... And especially some of the older

:50:44. > :50:48.customers, that's like a highlight of the day for them,

:50:49. > :50:52.to have sort of a small chat The hope is that this will cut down

:50:53. > :50:58.on the number of home visits that nurses have to do to people

:50:59. > :51:01.who don't need physical support, freeing up more time

:51:02. > :51:03.for those that do. The software itself,

:51:04. > :51:06.called Video Visit, works much So, while the tech isn't that new,

:51:07. > :51:11.Helsinki is unique in how wisely the government is using it,

:51:12. > :51:14.and that can mean big An in-person nursing visit can

:51:15. > :51:20.cost around 40 euros, but this new type of checkup

:51:21. > :51:25.costs as little as five. And what really comes across,

:51:26. > :51:28.watching this call, is that they do And it just shows that

:51:29. > :51:33.that nursing element, that real human connection,

:51:34. > :51:36.is still there, even though it's People do hesitate at technology,

:51:37. > :51:42.and especially in nursing. We are actually taking

:51:43. > :51:46.care of people. It's scary that the robots

:51:47. > :51:50.are coming and taking our jobs. Actually, the robots

:51:51. > :51:53.are in here already, but they are easing our job,

:51:54. > :51:57.and actually giving us the freedom to focus on people who actually

:51:58. > :52:01.need our physical help. Now, medical technologies,

:52:02. > :52:05.of course, are improving One example is the use

:52:06. > :52:10.of wearable technology Now, this can be transformative

:52:11. > :52:15.for people with conditions like facial palsy, Parkinson's

:52:16. > :52:18.and autism, allowing them to control devices remotely, or even

:52:19. > :52:28.just smile naturally. My name is Bethan Robertson-Smith,

:52:29. > :52:33.and I'm doing my daily routine. It's a series of exercises to flex

:52:34. > :52:37.the muscles in my face. In 2008, when I was at university

:52:38. > :52:41.studying to be a veterinary nurse, I had a fractured skull,

:52:42. > :52:49.an acquired brain injury, and I was left with facial palsy,

:52:50. > :52:52.also known as facial paralysis. It meant that every one of the 40

:52:53. > :53:00.muscles that gave expression Years later, I had an operation

:53:01. > :53:08.that allowed me to smile like a Mona Lisa, using just two

:53:09. > :53:12.of the chewing muscles that It's very hard to know exactly

:53:13. > :53:16.what muscles I need to move I came down to Brighton today to try

:53:17. > :53:24.out a new piece of technology that's going to help people like myself,

:53:25. > :53:29.who have got facial palsy. One of the surgeons who operated

:53:30. > :53:33.on me is part of a team of experts developing technologies with sensors

:53:34. > :53:35.to read the muscle activities So, when you were first diagnosed,

:53:36. > :53:44.you had an examination called the needle EMG, where the needle

:53:45. > :53:47.is put into the skin, into the muscles, to read

:53:48. > :53:50.the tiny electrical signals With this technology,

:53:51. > :53:54.what we're using is these sensors So the same kind of reading,

:53:55. > :53:58.but without the pain, You have some degree of crossover

:53:59. > :54:03.between the muscles, and that's why you need the machine

:54:04. > :54:06.learning and the artificial intelligence, to interpret

:54:07. > :54:08.which muscle is activating. I'm Sarah Healey, and 30 years ago,

:54:09. > :54:12.I had a brain tumour. Try to raise both

:54:13. > :54:17.eyebrows symmetrically. The operation to take it out left me

:54:18. > :54:25.with paralysis on the right-hand I am certainly not alone,

:54:26. > :54:31.as there are about 100,000 people in the UK who have had facial

:54:32. > :54:37.paralysis for years. So each one of these dots

:54:38. > :54:39.represents the position And so, for example,

:54:40. > :54:45.if you were to try and do And the darker the red,

:54:46. > :54:53.the bigger the signal. So because my left side

:54:54. > :54:55.is better and stronger... ..it's showing up as

:54:56. > :54:58.stronger on the screen. This is great because for the first

:54:59. > :55:02.time, I'm getting accurate information about what is

:55:03. > :55:06.going on with my face. I tend to overwork this side

:55:07. > :55:09.of my face, so this really is giving me feedback that I have

:55:10. > :55:15.to dampen down the movements I don't want, and this is just

:55:16. > :55:18.so good at doing that. I sort of try and practise

:55:19. > :55:22.in front of a mirror. It's not quite as subtle

:55:23. > :55:24.as this, is it? And also, I'm not that keen

:55:25. > :55:27.on looking in mirrors, This headset takes all

:55:28. > :55:35.the information from sensors, just like in the goggles,

:55:36. > :55:38.but now translates it into real-time Yeah, so I'm trying really hard

:55:39. > :55:46.to make her do a full smile... Doing it to a mirror,

:55:47. > :55:55.you kind of tell yourself Whereas she is like, oh, no,

:55:56. > :56:00.that's not what it looks like. It might sound strange to say,

:56:01. > :56:03.but for the first time since my accident, I'm able to see

:56:04. > :56:07.what my smile actually looks like. Not to make it sound like,

:56:08. > :56:12.I dunno, a strange way, but you're kind of doing

:56:13. > :56:14.it with somebody else. My biggest aim for this

:56:15. > :56:21.would be to be able to help That's been one of my aims

:56:22. > :56:33.for the last 30 years. Have you heard the one

:56:34. > :56:42.about the alien who walks Now, as impressive as this

:56:43. > :56:55.bizarre setup looks, these motion-capture suits

:56:56. > :56:58.and stages are actually the standard way that Industrial Light Magic

:56:59. > :57:01.uses actors to give realistic movements to computer-generated

:57:02. > :57:02.principal characters. I mean, he's a nice

:57:03. > :57:14.dad, I think, Jalien. Even the fact that Jalien

:57:15. > :57:17.here is being rendered in real time for the director to see

:57:18. > :57:20.during the performance is not What is brand-new here

:57:21. > :57:25.is the live rendering You know, our big focus was around

:57:26. > :57:32.the face and being able to capture the face at the same

:57:33. > :57:34.time as the body. And we can determine

:57:35. > :57:37.what expressions are happening each frame, and then directors can see

:57:38. > :57:40.that live and make decisions on if the character

:57:41. > :57:43.is working as a character, whether his expressions need

:57:44. > :57:47.to change in terms of the model. In order to process an actor's

:57:48. > :57:51.expressions quickly enough, only one face cam and a few

:57:52. > :57:54.Mo-cap dots are used. This simplified live data is then

:57:55. > :58:00.compared to a higher-resolution 3-D capture of the actor's face

:58:01. > :58:03.that's taken beforehand Now, unlike other facial-capture

:58:04. > :58:12.systems we've seen, which take still images of the actor's face,

:58:13. > :58:15.here they're shooting video of my face moving into

:58:16. > :58:18.and out of each emotion. That means that the facial

:58:19. > :58:22.recreation and the animations The live, high-quality rendering

:58:23. > :58:31.of both face and body can also become a magic mirror on sets,

:58:32. > :58:34.to help the actor to get And I guess it really does make

:58:35. > :58:39.you move differently when you're on set, if you're playing

:58:40. > :58:41.a half-tonne alien, It totally does, as long

:58:42. > :58:47.as I engage my imagination. Because if you can see,

:58:48. > :58:51.I'm totally beautifully... You know, in a way that Jalien

:58:52. > :58:57.can't, my wetsuit moves in a way that maybe that arm and that

:58:58. > :59:05.outfit doesn't move. It's good showing

:59:06. > :59:08.you my, er, my stuff. Don't forget, we live

:59:09. > :59:12.on Facebook and on Twitter... Thanks for having us

:59:13. > :59:17.at your place, Jalien. Hello, this is Breakfast,

:59:18. > :00:34.with Jon Kay and Naga Munchetty. More rain is battering

:00:35. > :00:37.parts of South Asia, where millions of people have been

:00:38. > :00:42.displaced by monsoon downpours. More than 1,400 people are now known

:00:43. > :00:59.to have died in the storms. Good morning, it is

:01:08. > :01:17.of hurricane Harvey later today. Could plans to charge utility

:01:18. > :01:20.companies by the hour for digging up roads, when they repair their pipes

:01:21. > :01:24.and cables, cut traffic delays? Tennis superstar Serena Williams has

:01:42. > :01:49.looking a little mixed. A lot of grey cloud,

:01:50. > :01:56.and some rain on the way as well, First, our main story: More heavy

:01:57. > :02:04.rain is falling in South Asia, where this year's monsoon season has

:02:05. > :02:07.left millions of people displaced. It is now believed more

:02:08. > :02:10.than 1,400 people have died. Parts of India's financial centre,

:02:11. > :02:12.Mumbai, are under several Our South Asia correspondent

:02:13. > :02:18.Justin Rowlatt is in the eastern state of Bihar, one

:02:19. > :02:31.of the worst-affected areas. Just in this one state

:02:32. > :02:34.in northern and eastern India, we are talking 17 million

:02:35. > :02:36.people affected, more And as you say, across the region,

:02:37. > :02:40.1,400 people killed. Now, as you can see,

:02:41. > :02:51.the rains have stopped here. More rain is forecast but even

:02:52. > :02:54.without the rains it doesn't mean Obviously there's a huge

:02:55. > :02:57.rebuilding effort needed, homes, schools, roads

:02:58. > :03:02.need to be rebuilt. And then, of course,

:03:03. > :03:05.there is the danger of disease. Many people were exposed

:03:06. > :03:07.to the floodwaters for days and there is a real issue

:03:08. > :03:10.with diarrhoea and other waterborne diseases, and that is causing huge

:03:11. > :03:24.problems still across South Asia. President Trump is to visit Texas

:03:25. > :03:27.again today to assess the flood He will fly to Houston,

:03:28. > :03:31.accompanied by the First Lady, where he will meet survivors

:03:32. > :03:33.and volunteers involved A chemical plant near to the city

:03:34. > :03:37.has exploded after its cooling Our US correspondent

:03:38. > :03:41.Barbara Plett-Usher has been out with the emergency services

:03:42. > :03:44.to assess the damage across Houston. The sheriffs of Houston

:03:45. > :03:46.are still working 12-hour shifts, even though the floodwaters

:03:47. > :03:49.they battled earlier in the week Like nothing they have

:03:50. > :03:53.ever experienced before, a disaster on a scale

:03:54. > :03:56.rarely seen in the US. The water was over this

:03:57. > :03:59.bridge right here. They remember the ones

:04:00. > :04:04.they were not able to rescue. Some of them weren't able to get out

:04:05. > :04:09.in time for them to get help, and they were basically stuck

:04:10. > :04:15.inside their house, you know. And they're crippled,

:04:16. > :04:18.or they can't even get outside The sweep of the storm

:04:19. > :04:30.caught people by surprise. After sitting over Houston for days,

:04:31. > :04:33.it continued east, keeping emergency In Harvey's wake, there

:04:34. > :04:36.is massive disruption. Chemical spills caused

:04:37. > :04:41.fire at this plant. More are expected, spreading

:04:42. > :04:43.anxiety about toxins. And in mucky, waterlogged

:04:44. > :04:45.neighbourhoods, now comes What can be salvaged,

:04:46. > :04:50.how much is lost, and who will pay The Trump administration got good

:04:51. > :04:54.marks for it early response Now, it has to show the staying

:04:55. > :05:03.power needed to help Utility companies could be charged

:05:04. > :05:09.by the hour for digging up busy roads when they work

:05:10. > :05:11.on improving their infrastructure, this under plans being put

:05:12. > :05:13.forward by the Government. Ministers hope the policy

:05:14. > :05:16.would force contractors in England to speed up repairs,

:05:17. > :05:19.or carry out work at night, to reduce traffic delays

:05:20. > :05:21.caused by their projects. Mile after mile, hour after hour,

:05:22. > :05:40.of delays caused by roadworks. It is thought one in every three

:05:41. > :05:43.of our journeys is held Around 2.5 million roadworks

:05:44. > :05:46.are carried out every year in England, costing the economy

:05:47. > :05:50.an estimated ?4 billion in lost working hours and

:05:51. > :05:55.delayed deliveries. Utility companies are not

:05:56. > :06:01.responsible for every excavated carriageway or set of temporary

:06:02. > :06:04.traffic lights, but it is hoped this

:06:05. > :06:05.new scheme may persuade them to carry out their work more

:06:06. > :06:08.quickly, or at night, Under the proposals,

:06:09. > :06:12.councils could charge utility companies up to ?2,500 per site

:06:13. > :06:19.to work on roads during the day. When trialled in London,

:06:20. > :06:22.back in 2012, this led to a 42% drop in the levels of disruption

:06:23. > :06:24.caused by roadworks. The idea has been cautiously

:06:25. > :06:30.welcomed by the AA and the RAC, but they have warned that these

:06:31. > :06:33.changes mustn't lead to works being rushed or slapdash,

:06:34. > :06:35.simply to hand roads back The Local Government Association has

:06:36. > :06:39.praised the success of the pilot schemes, and called for other

:06:40. > :06:43.councils to be given the new powers In a few minutes' time,

:06:44. > :06:59.we will be talking to a Government Keen to hear what you think of the

:07:00. > :07:00.idea as well. Let us know in the usual way.

:07:01. > :07:03.A former shadow cabinet Minister has warned that a significant gap has

:07:04. > :07:06.appeared between attitudes in London and Labour's northern heartlands.

:07:09. > :07:10.minister last month over comments she made

:07:11. > :07:12.about the Newcastle grooming scandal.

:07:13. > :07:14.Let's get more from our political correspondent Mark Lobel,

:07:15. > :07:29.It is interesting, this is basically her explaining the rationale and

:07:30. > :07:33.high in the article she wrote which proved to be so controversial.

:07:34. > :07:38.That's right, the original article she wrote she apologise for. She

:07:39. > :07:46.apologised for her poor choice of words, she wrote in the Sun that

:07:47. > :07:50.written has a problem with Pakistani men seducing young girls -- Britain

:07:51. > :07:53.has a problem. She says that since that time she has been thanked by

:07:54. > :07:57.police and social workers who thanked her for raising the issue in

:07:58. > :08:01.the first place after the child abuse scandal. The latest one was in

:08:02. > :08:06.Newcastle. She insists in this article, John, that Britain was

:08:07. > :08:09.failing to investigate the reasons why gangs of mostly Pakistani men,

:08:10. > :08:14.her words, have groomed and exploited white girls. She says it

:08:15. > :08:19.is one thing to recognise a crime model, understanding why it has such

:08:20. > :08:23.deep roots. That is a different issue altogether. She says most of

:08:24. > :08:26.the sex gangs were friends or extended family members, trafficking

:08:27. > :08:31.girls to other friends and family members. They know the problem, but

:08:32. > :08:35.why is it happening? She also has a political dig at the left as well.

:14:14. > :14:15.that the Government is considering charging utility

:14:16. > :14:18.companies who dig up busy roads The Transport Minister,

:14:19. > :14:32.Lord Callanan joins us Good morning, thank you very much

:14:33. > :14:42.for your time. How is this going to work? A sickly utilities will have

:14:43. > :14:49.to rent the road -- basically. If they want to dig it up to fix their

:14:50. > :14:54.services on the highway. The idea is to encourage them to work with other

:14:55. > :14:57.utility companies to get it done as quickly as possible and avoid

:14:58. > :15:01.disruption to motorists. So what would you be charging, and where

:15:02. > :15:06.would the money that you make from charging utility companies go to?

:15:07. > :15:10.Well, the charge depends on how busy the road is, what the congestion is

:15:11. > :15:15.like, what time of day or night they are doing the work and for how long

:15:16. > :15:18.they do it. So the judge could vary depending on how long they take to

:15:19. > :15:22.do work. And where would the money go? The local highway authorities,

:15:23. > :15:26.and any money that they raise would have to be spent on other congestion

:15:27. > :15:30.reducing measures that would benefit motorists. So in the long run the

:15:31. > :15:34.idea is that the roadworks are done more quickly but the roads would

:15:35. > :15:39.improve significantly. Would we notice the difference? Well, we have

:15:40. > :15:42.been trialling it in London and Kent and it has proved extremely

:15:43. > :15:46.successful, and we estimate there have been about 600 fewer incursions

:15:47. > :15:51.into the highway surface than would have happened otherwise. So now we

:15:52. > :15:55.are consulting on extending the scheme nationwide. Have you done any

:15:56. > :15:58.kind of quality control in this trial? There are concerns that if

:15:59. > :16:02.utility companies are being charged then they will hurry up with the

:16:03. > :16:08.work and maybe do not such a good job of finishing the road surfaces,

:16:09. > :16:12.for example. Has any quality control been done to show that this isn't

:16:13. > :16:16.the case? Yes, of course. Local authorities inspect the work after

:16:17. > :16:19.it has been finished and in the trials we have carried out there has

:16:20. > :16:23.been no evidence of any shoddy workmanship or hurrying to get it

:16:24. > :16:25.finished quicker or to a lower standard than would have happened

:16:26. > :16:30.otherwise. This is about incentivising them to do the work

:16:31. > :16:34.that has to be done. At the end of the day they need to incur into the

:16:35. > :16:38.highway, and the idea is to get them to do it either at quiet times, in

:16:39. > :16:41.the evening, or ideally in co-ordination with other utilities

:16:42. > :16:46.who may also want to access the highway.

:16:47. > :16:53.You would also inspect the work regularly because on a trial it is

:16:54. > :17:01.easy to be on your best behaviour? It has been happening over a number

:17:02. > :17:05.of months for hundreds of incidents. Of course they will be inspected

:17:06. > :17:09.afterwards as well. During your conversations with utility companies

:17:10. > :17:12.and the costs they will incur, have they said that they will need to

:17:13. > :17:16.pass the cost onto customers? They have not indicated they will do

:17:17. > :17:20.that. At the end of the day, the idea is that we will not be raising

:17:21. > :17:25.much money because they do the work faster or a quiet times. Any money

:17:26. > :17:30.that is raised will have to go back to the local authorities and be

:17:31. > :17:35.spent on other measures to reduce congestion. So there is no guarantee

:17:36. > :17:38.that utility customers will feel the pinch because of this scheme? There

:17:39. > :17:46.will be a cost to the companies, yes. Thank you very much for your

:17:47. > :17:50.time this morning. The Parliamentary under Secretary of State for the

:17:51. > :17:54.Department of Transport. Many people getting in touch this morning, one

:18:25. > :18:29.sunset? How can you tell? I don't know. Am sure you can work out from

:18:30. > :18:34.the geography. It is always a nice one behind you on the set. Always a

:18:35. > :18:40.sunrise whether it is cloudy or rainy every where else. Curious.

:18:41. > :18:44.Today we have a nice bright day. I call it a bright rather than sunny

:18:45. > :18:48.day because I don't think we will have clear blue skies. Fairweather

:18:49. > :18:55.clouds developing, if I say Sony, I will be cold out if there are

:18:56. > :18:58.clouds. This cloud, this shady area is rolling towards us so enjoy this

:18:59. > :19:04.window, this cutout of fine weather today. You can see that front

:19:05. > :19:09.rearing its head already, splashing into Ireland through the course of

:19:10. > :19:13.today but for most of us in the UK it will be a nice Saturday with

:19:14. > :19:18.sunshine around and, again, little bits of Fairweather clouds

:19:19. > :19:24.developing. 17 in Belfast, a high of 19 in Sheffield, Northumberland,

:19:25. > :19:31.those areas. 19 on the south coast as well. London reaching 21 with the

:19:32. > :19:36.chance that some of the summertime clouds made group began deep enough

:19:37. > :19:40.to produce light showers in Kent and Sussex. Tonight, clear for the most

:19:41. > :19:46.part but then the weather front roles in, coming in off the Atlantic

:19:47. > :19:51.bringing a lot of cloud, murky mucky conditions in places and outbreaks

:19:52. > :19:56.of rain. 14 degrees in this mile area, first thing in Belfast. This

:19:57. > :20:00.weather front pushes through, pushing away the fine weather into

:20:01. > :20:04.Scandinavia. Tomorrow it starts raining in the south-west, Wales,

:20:05. > :20:08.around the Irish Sea. Rain has it pushed through by this stage in

:20:09. > :20:13.Northern Ireland but look at this weather. It has broken up bits and

:20:14. > :20:17.pieces. When we see this on weather maps it is the sort of day that

:20:18. > :20:22.shows it is cloudy with a little rain and then cloudy and in a little

:20:23. > :20:26.rain. A damp rather than wet day for many of us. Perhaps not even

:20:27. > :20:31.reaching these extreme areas until far later Ron. Saturday is the

:20:32. > :20:36.birthday this weekend with some sunshine and tomorrow most of us

:20:37. > :20:38.will get a little bit of rain. -- Saturday is the best day this

:20:39. > :20:40.weekend. You've probably heard

:20:41. > :20:42.of campaigns like Dry January, or Go Sober for October,

:20:43. > :20:46.set up to encourage people to quit And new figures suggest

:20:47. > :20:50.that the number of people who are cutting back

:20:51. > :20:52.on the booze is rising. We'll chat more about this

:20:53. > :21:03.in a moment but first, Ooh... This may look like a typical

:21:04. > :21:07.catch up of women over cocktails. But there is a difference. There is

:21:08. > :21:13.no alcohol in them. It is because these women are all going alcohol

:21:14. > :21:23.free. I was a binge drinker so I would want to drink every, would not

:21:24. > :21:27.want to drink every night but when I did, I had no stop button. No limit.

:21:28. > :21:33.I was a different person when I drank. I would have blackouts. If I

:21:34. > :21:38.went for a weekend away it was 30 points to keep up with the boys.

:21:39. > :21:43.They signed up for a programme called one-year no beer. It is the

:21:44. > :21:47.brainchild of Roy Fairbanks. I was drunk twice a week on average it all

:21:48. > :21:54.of a sudden it was causing trouble in my life. It just was not that

:21:55. > :21:59.acceptable any longer to be coming home hungover or at four a.m.. They

:22:00. > :22:03.have seen a tenfold increase in mentorship this year alone. Their

:22:04. > :22:07.aim is to change the peer pressure around giving up drinking and to

:22:08. > :22:17.provide tactics for being in the pub. Stealth drinks are great. Ukip

:22:18. > :22:20.the Barman, and he gives you a non-alcoholic ear. Fake gin and

:22:21. > :22:23.tonic stick you can get away with this stuff. With more British people

:22:24. > :22:27.banishing the blues than ever before, south of non-alcoholic

:22:28. > :22:33.drinks are booming. In five years, the amount of low or no alcohol beer

:22:34. > :22:37.sold in the UK has risen by 50%. For these women, getting off the booze

:22:38. > :22:43.has provided them with rewards. Clarity and quickness of thought. I

:22:44. > :22:48.lost four Stone. I train six days a week. I run around like a nutter and

:22:49. > :22:51.everything I want to do I can go and do. And that is something we can all

:22:52. > :22:52.raise a mock tale to. Joining us now is GP,

:22:53. > :23:09.Dr Amrit Ryatt and David Barnicle, Good morning. How does that work? A

:23:10. > :23:17.dry bar. It seems like a contradiction in terms. Essentially,

:23:18. > :23:23.will we are part of a charity action on addiction, it is a method for

:23:24. > :23:28.people who are in recovery but if it is also a social space and people

:23:29. > :23:34.sometimes very. And, also, we do lovely food and drink at and events

:23:35. > :23:45.as a team. We have courses for people pursuing a healthy aim in

:23:46. > :23:52.life. Is still like a pub? You would think you were in any sort of cafe

:23:53. > :23:58.restaurant but it is built on community and we children and

:23:59. > :24:05.forming friendships. Are your opening hours similar to our part? I

:24:06. > :24:12.am trying to work out what it is different, Howard is different to a

:24:13. > :24:16.pub. We close at eight p.m. So it is similar to that we are open all day

:24:17. > :24:23.but we are doing something different. We are providing an

:24:24. > :24:27.alternative. Doctor, are you surprised by these figures that

:24:28. > :24:32.suggest fewer of us are drinking? Not really. There is a big cultural

:24:33. > :24:37.shift in general about healthy eating and clean living and part of

:24:38. > :24:42.that is alcohol. I think it is easier for people to learn about the

:24:43. > :24:48.negative effects of alcohol and the impact it has on various illnesses

:24:49. > :24:51.such as cancer, and blood pressure, people have a better understanding

:24:52. > :24:56.of the link between alcohol and illness now. I don't think it is

:24:57. > :25:02.viewed in the same way as it was ten or 20 years ago. I think people have

:25:03. > :25:07.of better understanding now. Is a younger people drinking less? There

:25:08. > :25:11.seems to be a I don't know, posting selfies of looking quite fit after

:25:12. > :25:15.the gym and looking healthy whereas when we were at university we did

:25:16. > :25:19.not think about those sort of things. I am looking at you, John.

:25:20. > :25:25.It was just not part of the lifestyle. At that age you were

:25:26. > :25:30.drinking loads. I think the statistics confirm that. Younger

:25:31. > :25:34.people seem to have a healthier attitude and relationship with

:25:35. > :25:37.alcohol which is encouraging because we will hopefully see the benefits

:25:38. > :25:44.in terms of riches on the pages. Moving forward that would be great

:25:45. > :25:47.to see. I agree with the statistics. Were you surprised by the figures? I

:25:48. > :25:50.know you are working with people who are seeking help and have

:25:51. > :25:53.acknowledged that they want to change their lifestyle. More

:25:54. > :25:57.broadly, the figures suggest that what you are doing, a dry pub may be

:25:58. > :26:02.popular for the general community. I am not surprised at all. I had been

:26:03. > :26:06.in nearly five years now and over the years all of the partnerships we

:26:07. > :26:13.have made with organisations in the links we have made with universities

:26:14. > :26:17.and the suchlike where we meet the first-year students were being

:26:18. > :26:22.informed by them all the time. They want the sort of choices when it

:26:23. > :26:27.comes to drinking and nightlife. I wonder if it is about money as well.

:26:28. > :26:30.People not as wealthy as they were relatively one or two decades ago.

:26:31. > :26:36.Maybe students are not as well off and do not have disposable cash. Is

:26:37. > :26:42.that a factor? A night out is definitely much dearer now than it

:26:43. > :26:48.used to be. Bite the information is more readily available now and

:26:49. > :26:53.people are able to, you know, not diagnose themselves but they are

:26:54. > :26:57.able to look after their own health was positive action and access

:26:58. > :27:00.information and find out what can be good for them. For many people, that

:27:01. > :27:11.is a leap, from those who regularly drink during the week to a dry bar.

:27:12. > :27:20.These things like stop October. Update adds that help in your

:27:21. > :27:23.opinion? Do you encourage people? I think there is evidence to suggest

:27:24. > :27:28.that it has a positive lasting affect. Even Michael Mosley who did

:27:29. > :27:34.the BBC documentary about it, he showed that as well. I think there

:27:35. > :27:38.are some findings that it has a beneficial effect directly on the

:27:39. > :27:42.liver so you can get sun liver healing. You can reduce your weight

:27:43. > :27:46.and blood pressure. You can sleep better and have a better sense of

:27:47. > :27:50.well-being. Many participants report a healthier relationship with

:27:51. > :27:55.alcohol coming out of doing something like stop October or dry

:27:56. > :27:59.January the hope is after having done that you break the habit of

:28:00. > :28:04.always having a drink with a meal or with your friends. I would encourage

:28:05. > :28:08.anyone to try and even for a couple of weeks to see how you go. Thank

:28:09. > :28:12.you both for coming in. We will discuss this later so if you have

:28:13. > :28:16.any opinions are experiences and you would like to join in, get in touch

:33:32. > :33:39.Well known for its 1980s advertising campaign featuring the fictional

:34:23. > :34:26.so well. In another 50 years he will be trying to find an antique copy of

:34:32. > :34:35.could use them as a wicket for indoor cricket in the lounge room.

:34:36. > :34:42.The remote as the bat in the Yellow Pages as the wicket. I used to use

:34:43. > :34:50.them for bases for rounders. We never used to throw them away, for

:34:51. > :35:01.some reason. It was bizarre. A busy night in football. After the

:35:02. > :35:06.performances against Malta in San Marino, Scotland did well. Their

:35:07. > :35:07.qualification campaign is back on track.

:35:08. > :35:09.It was a successful night for the Home Nations,

:35:10. > :35:16.Northern Ireland are on the verge of the play-offs, after winning 3-0

:35:17. > :35:19.And, as James Burford explains, Scotland's 3-0 win in Lithuania has

:35:30. > :35:32.A win was all that would do, and a winning performance

:35:33. > :35:34.was what the players delivered from the get go.

:35:35. > :35:37.Stuart Armstrong strong-armed his way to the scoresheet,

:35:43. > :35:44.Scotland's Gareth Bale, Strachan clearly impressed.

:35:45. > :35:46.Two goals to the good, how about a third?

:35:47. > :35:48.Three points in the bag, three goals, too.

:35:49. > :35:51.James McArthur following up some quick thinking with his

:35:52. > :35:57.In Malta, England faced 30-degree temperatures and a resilient

:36:00. > :36:02.Harry Kane, the Tottenham player's first goal of the season.

:36:03. > :36:05.Ryan Bertrand's first international strike came from a full 30 yards

:36:06. > :36:07.out, before Danny Welbeck made a goalscoring return

:36:08. > :36:12.There was even time for Kane to get in on the act again,

:36:13. > :36:14.three goals in the last six minutes perhaps flattering

:36:15. > :36:18.Northern Ireland's grip on second place in their group

:36:19. > :36:24.A dominant performance in San Marino, where Josh Magennis

:36:25. > :36:27.was the star of the show, scoring not once but twice,

:36:28. > :36:30.to help them go seven points clear of the next-closest side.

:36:31. > :36:33.Another from the penalty spot from captain Steven Davis put

:36:34. > :36:35.the seal on a fantastic night for the Home Nations.

:36:36. > :36:51.When we say on one day, do you think we can win?

:36:52. > :36:59.Did I think we would have that many attempts at goals?

:37:00. > :37:03.It was a game where our attack came from different angles,

:37:04. > :37:11.Of course, we would like to have scored our goals earlier.

:37:12. > :37:14.If we had scored our goals earlier tonight, it would have helped

:37:15. > :37:18.For me, that is the benefit of having played for England,

:37:19. > :37:21.because I have been involved in nights like this before.

:37:22. > :37:23.I have seen other managers go through it.

:37:24. > :37:26.I have been on the pitch when we haven't scored loads

:37:27. > :37:28.of goals, against teams who are supposedly minnows,

:37:29. > :37:41.But there will be no British interest in the second week

:37:42. > :37:43.at Flushing Meadows, after Kyle Edmund was forced

:37:44. > :37:46.to retire in his third-round clash with Denis Shapovalov.

:37:47. > :37:49.The match was evenly poised at a set all,

:37:50. > :37:50.with both players getting into the rhythm.

:37:51. > :37:54.But just as the contest was heating up, Edmund called for the physio,

:37:55. > :37:58.He returned to the court briefly, losing the third set,

:37:59. > :38:00.before reluctantly retiring at the start of the fourth.

:38:01. > :38:07.Do you carry on to the end, but you just go through the motions,

:38:08. > :38:14.And you don't want to pull out straightaway.

:38:15. > :38:17.You want to see, is this going to get better?

:38:18. > :38:20.But ultimately, I thought, I'm not going to win two more

:38:21. > :38:31.I knew that I wasn't going to win two more sets feeling like that.

:38:32. > :38:33.Maria Sharapova, has made her way through to

:38:34. > :38:37.the fourth round of the US Open, with a straight-sets win over Sofia

:38:38. > :38:55.Afterward, she hit back at Caroline Wozniacki's complaints that

:38:56. > :39:00.Sharapova gets favouritism and best treatment when it comes to the show

:39:01. > :39:04.courts. With regards to scheduling, as you know, I don't make the

:39:05. > :39:08.schedule. And you know, I am a pretty big competitor, and if you

:39:09. > :39:12.put me out in the parking lot of Queens in New York city, I am happy

:39:13. > :39:17.to play there. That is not what matters to me. All that matters to

:39:18. > :39:18.me as I am in the fourth round, and I am not sure where she is.

:39:19. > :39:22.The domestic rugby union season got off to a pulsating start last night,

:39:23. > :39:24.with Gloucester scoring a last-minute try to beat defending

:39:25. > :39:28.The game was level at 21-21, and heading for a draw,

:39:29. > :39:31.when Gloucester full-back Jason Woodward popped up in the 82nd

:39:32. > :39:34.minute of the game to snatch an opening-day victory.

:39:35. > :39:40.In the night's other Premiership game, Newcastle beat Worcester 35-8.

:39:41. > :39:43.The expanded Pro14 also got under way last night,

:39:44. > :39:45.and it was an impressive start for Ulster.

:39:46. > :39:47.They beat League debutants the South African side the Cheetahs,

:39:48. > :39:50.42-19, All Black Charles Piutau scoring one of Ulster's six tries.

:39:51. > :40:08.There were also wins for Edinburgh and Munster.

:40:17. > :40:20.After the game, the Vipers' and former England captain

:40:21. > :40:22.Charlotte Edwards announced her retirement from cricket.

:40:23. > :40:23.Edwards is England's most-capped female player.

:40:24. > :40:26.She stepped away from international cricket last year, after a career

:40:27. > :40:31.There is a big day ahead in domestic cricket,

:40:35. > :40:37.They have already won the One-Day Cup this season,

:40:41. > :40:43.The winners will then meet either home side Birmingham or Glamorgan,

:40:44. > :40:45.the county, who are making their first appearance

:40:46. > :41:11.The BBC has learned that last year nearly 100,000 graduates were

:41:12. > :41:14.reimbursed after overpaying their student loans.

:41:15. > :41:17.It happened because the Inland Revenue didn't stop their repayments

:41:18. > :41:21.Paul Lewis from Radio 4's Money Box programme has been looking

:41:22. > :41:30.Good morning, Paul. Just explain, I know millions of people have had all

:41:31. > :41:36.will have student loans. What is going on? Well, these loans started

:41:37. > :41:39.as long ago as 1998, and many people are coming to the end of them,

:41:40. > :41:43.because obviously the loan was much smaller than that. And the system is

:41:44. > :41:48.set up so that people are almost bound to overpay at the end. As you

:41:49. > :41:52.said in your introduction, the new figures under Freedom of information

:41:53. > :41:57.show that 93,200 graduates had to be refunded last year because they had

:41:58. > :42:01.overpaid their loans. ?745 each, on average. And it happens quite

:42:02. > :42:06.complete because of the system. HMRC collect this money, along with tax

:42:07. > :42:11.and national insurance, but it doesn't pass it on to the student

:42:12. > :42:15.loans Company until the end of the tax year. And then the student loans

:42:16. > :42:19.Company has the allocated to all the right people, work out what they

:42:20. > :42:24.owe. That can take more months. The result is that you can overpay for

:42:25. > :42:29.up to 19 months after you've actually paid enough to pay off your

:42:30. > :42:34.loan. That can make a big dent in your life, can't it, if you have a

:42:35. > :42:39.mortgage or a family or something. How do you find out if you have

:42:40. > :42:43.overpaid? This is the problem. It would be a very complicated

:42:44. > :42:45.calculation to do it yourself. I'm sure whether spreadsheets some

:42:46. > :42:50.graduates could manage it, but you don't know until you are told. What

:42:51. > :42:54.the student loans Company tells us is that about two years before what

:42:55. > :42:57.they think will be the end of your loan they write to you and say would

:42:58. > :43:01.you like to stop this automatic deduction and pay-outs by direct

:43:02. > :43:05.debit, and that really is the advice everybody should take. If they get

:43:06. > :43:10.that letter, turn off the automatic deduction by HMRC and pay by direct

:43:11. > :43:15.debit. But of course, a lot of people don't do that. I was talking

:43:16. > :43:18.to one graduate, she is an economics graduate, she reckons she had

:43:19. > :43:22.overpaid by several thousand pounds. She rang the student loans company

:43:23. > :43:26.and didn't really get anywhere, and she described the whole process to

:43:27. > :43:29.me as chaos, difficult and confusing. And even when she asked

:43:30. > :43:34.for a statement saying exactly what she was owed by them, they didn't

:43:35. > :43:41.produce it. At least, they didn't produce it until Friday afternoon,

:43:42. > :43:44.after Money box had been talking to them for a week. And what about

:43:45. > :43:48.getting the money back into your account once you find that you have

:43:49. > :43:53.been overpaid? Is it a tortuous system to actually get the cash

:43:54. > :43:56.back, to reclaim it? It is not that simple. In theory, ultimately they

:43:57. > :44:01.should repay you, but that could well be a couple of years after you

:44:02. > :44:05.should have stopped paying. If you ask for it, the student loans

:44:06. > :44:09.Company says that people will be told and it will be sorted out on an

:44:10. > :44:13.individual basis. But given that over 100,000 people every year come

:44:14. > :44:17.to the end of their loan, and we have learned that 93,000 have had to

:44:18. > :44:21.be repaid, obviously the vast majority don't sort it out in time.

:44:22. > :44:28.And I really think it is astonishing that, Ely 20 years after the system

:44:29. > :44:31.began in 1998, HMRC and the student loans company still haven't come to

:44:32. > :44:35.an arrangement where they can do this in real-time -- nearly 20

:44:36. > :44:40.years. HMRC are said to be working on a system. That will affect all of

:44:41. > :44:44.us, and won't be around for a few years. Until then, if you are a

:44:45. > :44:48.graduate and you get that letter saying would you like to move to

:44:49. > :44:52.direct debit payments, the answer is, yes please, and hopefully you

:44:53. > :44:56.will end up paying your loan off at the right time and will not have to

:44:57. > :45:02.make any more payments. And a quick summary of what the student loans

:45:03. > :45:05.Company say in return? They say they have 400 million loans outstanding,

:45:06. > :45:12.less than 0.1% of people complain, and they have this system in place

:45:13. > :45:16.if people take advantage of it. It is not automatic, but you can take

:45:17. > :45:24.advantage of it if you want to do so.

:45:25. > :45:26.make sure your face fits so you can feed your face...

:45:27. > :45:34.All are used to, we have the sunshine on the way. It will be not

:45:35. > :45:38.much like it tomorrow. So if you are enjoying yourself today in the fine

:45:39. > :45:43.weather, make the most of it because these gap in the cloud will be

:45:44. > :45:48.replaced late this massive cloud. This will roll our way and will sit

:45:49. > :45:54.on top of the UK tomorrow, initially in the west. Looking at the next few

:45:55. > :45:59.hours, fine out there, a little nippy. There may be some light

:46:00. > :46:03.showers developing in eastern areas but for the vast majority of the UK

:46:04. > :46:06.it is a fine day. This is what it looks like at four o'clock in the

:46:07. > :46:12.afternoon. Newcastle and Belfast doing well that. Close to 20 degrees

:46:13. > :46:16.across the Midlands, London probably 20 or 21 and fine weather on the

:46:17. > :46:21.south Coast. This rate he will approach Western parts during the

:46:22. > :46:27.course of tomorrow. -- this range here. What will happen later on and

:46:28. > :46:34.into tonight, this band of cloud will reach the west around three or

:46:35. > :46:41.four in the morning. Around the Irish Sea, Belfast will have a damp

:46:42. > :46:44.night by then but many eastern areas tomorrow waking up to sunshine

:46:45. > :46:48.because these hazy skies, this weather front will move slowly.

:46:49. > :46:54.Sometimes they are slow and sometimes they are slow and this one

:46:55. > :46:59.is quite slow. As it moves the rain will break up but that means there

:47:00. > :47:04.will be less of it once it reaches eastern areas. Overall, the best way

:47:05. > :47:10.to describe tomorrow, save for the west, two thirds of the country will

:47:11. > :47:14.have a cloudy damp day with rain on and off and in the evening some

:47:15. > :47:20.weather will reach the Far east of the country. A quick summery, today

:47:21. > :47:26.is the best day with some sunshine and then tomorrow the umbrellas are

:47:27. > :47:28.out. Thank you very much indeed. We will catch up with you later. Enjoy

:48:42. > :48:44.to introduce an item of, shall we say, less

:48:45. > :48:48.than earth-shattering importance. This doesn't look like

:50:52. > :50:55.just a short time ago. Not very far from here,

:50:56. > :50:59.about 30 miles east north east of where we are standing

:51:00. > :51:01.here in Corpus Christi. The winds were said to be at 130

:51:02. > :51:06.miles an hour according That makes it a category 4 hurricane

:51:07. > :51:15.and an extremely dangerous storm. Christian Hudson was concerned

:51:16. > :51:17.about the danger, asking, "Why was he standing

:51:18. > :51:19.outside getting soaking wet Surely isn't this responsible

:51:20. > :51:28.of the BBC to put its I know the BBC likes to report

:51:29. > :51:32.on what is happening around the world but safety

:51:33. > :51:41.should be paramount." Many more viewers had

:51:42. > :51:43.a different concern The floods had displaced thousands

:51:44. > :51:47.of Americans and the death toll It is clear this has been

:51:48. > :51:52.a major natural disaster. But a much greater one

:51:53. > :51:54.has been taking place Monsoon rain in India,

:51:55. > :51:58.Bangladesh and Nepal has affected no fewer than 16 million people,

:51:59. > :52:01.killing 1200 so far. Although BBC News has covered

:52:02. > :52:04.this Asian disaster, the amount of airtime it has been

:52:05. > :52:07.given is far less than that given Here's what some of the audience

:52:08. > :52:13.felt about that relative lack I'd like to know how the BBC decide

:52:14. > :52:20.which to cover and why the floods in America,

:52:21. > :52:25.which are less fatal, have been covered more than the floods

:52:26. > :52:27.in the Asian subcontinent. Is it because there are

:52:28. > :52:29.more reporters there? Or is it because they are poor

:52:30. > :52:35.people or that the Asian people While what Hurricane Harvey has

:52:36. > :52:45.unleashed is truly catastrophic and I feel for the huge loss

:52:46. > :52:48.of lives and property, I was surprised to find

:52:49. > :52:50.the disproportionately low and somewhat superficial coverage

:52:51. > :52:52.of, for instance, These places do not have the kind

:52:53. > :53:01.of coping mechanisms available, for instance,

:53:02. > :53:08.in the American scenario. But the coverage doesn't seem to be

:53:09. > :53:12.anything like the type of continuous blow-by-blow account that we seem

:53:13. > :53:21.to get off the American experience. And it does raise questions of

:53:22. > :53:24.Western media's Euro-American bias. To be honest we expect

:53:25. > :53:26.better from the BBC. I've hardly seen any coverage

:53:27. > :53:31.of the flooding in southern Asia. It seems that 20 people have

:53:32. > :53:34.lost their lives in Texas and that was a tragedy but it also

:53:35. > :53:38.seems over 1200 people have Are their lives somehow less

:53:39. > :53:42.important than those of Texans? It's like, "Why are you giving

:53:43. > :53:54.it less coverage?" Well, to answer those questions,

:53:55. > :53:56.I'm joined by Paul Royal, editor of the BBC's News at Six

:53:57. > :53:59.and News at Ten. You don't deny that Storm Harvey has

:54:00. > :54:04.received much more coverage in your news programmes

:54:05. > :54:08.than the floods in south-east Asia. There has been a lot of coverage

:54:09. > :54:12.of Storm Harvey over the last four Probably, in totality,

:54:13. > :54:20.more than the South Asia floods. But, what needs to be made clear

:54:21. > :54:23.and it's really important, BBC News and BBC television news

:54:24. > :54:27.covered the south Asia floods in the middle of August

:54:28. > :54:30.from about August 13th onwards. and then the BBC South Asia

:54:31. > :54:34.correspondent reported for television news on August 20th

:54:35. > :54:37.on BBC One Sunday tea-time We were in country

:54:38. > :54:40.reporting that story. We are currently in India

:54:41. > :54:43.at the moment reporting there today and over the weekend on the latest

:54:44. > :54:57.stage in these floods. Nobody is denying that

:54:58. > :55:00.you are covering it but when you look rather

:55:01. > :55:02.crudely at the casualties, around 40 killed from Storm Harvey,

:55:03. > :55:06.we are talking at 1200 and counting You know, viewers say this

:55:07. > :55:09.is an immense disparity and want to know why

:55:10. > :55:12.and they have suspicions. You heard David say,

:55:13. > :55:14.is it because more reporters are in the US and have

:55:15. > :55:16.easier access? It is true all the American networks

:55:17. > :55:20.are going live and you can pick up their coverage very easily

:55:21. > :55:23.and at very little cost. It is a factor in terms

:55:24. > :55:27.of accessability and where resources It is easier to report -

:55:28. > :55:31.there are still challenges. It is easier in a practical

:55:32. > :55:36.and technical sense to report from somewhere like Houston

:55:37. > :55:39.than it is from countries where you might need a visa

:55:40. > :55:42.or where practical access It is much harder and involves more

:55:43. > :55:48.time and effort to get there. Nicola Davenport, who we heard from,

:55:49. > :55:51.said, "Do you think Asian lives The news is respected and revered

:56:31. > :56:35.and they do believe it leaves an unfortunate impression that

:56:36. > :56:38.anything that happens in the States, in the West, you give more

:56:39. > :56:41.importance to perhaps because you feel that your audiences

:56:42. > :56:44.are more interested in that. Of course our audiences

:56:45. > :56:46.are interested in stories that happen in the UK,

:56:47. > :56:48.and America, and in What has happened in Houston,

:56:49. > :56:52.in Texas this week, is a big story. I totally accept there are questions

:56:53. > :56:56.around proportionality and it is good that viewers

:56:57. > :56:59.and listeners have these concerns What I would say is this is not

:57:00. > :57:03.a broadcaster that only Again, it is not a question

:57:04. > :57:11.of have you covered it, Another aspect briefly in terms

:57:12. > :57:20.of the American coverage that some listeners and viewers have brought

:57:21. > :57:23.up, is the fact you seem preoccupied with how President Trump will handle

:57:24. > :57:26.it in terms of a PR sense when what really matters now

:57:27. > :57:30.is what is happening on the ground. Are you slightly obsessed

:57:31. > :57:32.with President Trump and his tweets? Clearly the bulk of the reporting

:57:33. > :57:37.has been about what is happening There is a political story

:57:38. > :57:41.in terms of what happened with Hurricane Katrina,

:57:42. > :57:44.which was a very big and important story in modern America's history

:57:45. > :57:46.and whether President Trump would repeat some of the mistakes

:57:47. > :57:49.that were made in terms It is personally legitimate to cover

:57:50. > :57:53.that aspect of the story. It was one piece on the day that

:57:57. > :58:01.will continue though probably with a big health

:58:02. > :58:03.problem in Bangladesh. We are there right now

:58:04. > :58:09.and you will probably see coverage today and

:58:10. > :58:11.tomorrow on BBC News. Finally, I mentioned

:58:12. > :58:16.at the start of the programme that major news events

:58:17. > :58:19.do happen in August One example is the death of

:02:26. > :02:33.He joins us now live on BBC Breakfast. We have heard reports

:02:34. > :02:37.some of the worst brain has died away, that the level of the water

:02:38. > :02:45.has dropped, but I guess it is exposing the damage that has

:02:46. > :02:50.happened? Yes, that's exactly right. It is

:02:51. > :02:54.exposing all sorts of issues that need to be dealt with. Homes,

:02:55. > :02:58.schools, the roads need to be rebuilt and of course, floodwater

:02:59. > :03:02.brings with it the threat of disease. We've been talking to the

:03:03. > :03:06.Red Cross today, we've been at the local hospital, there are people in

:03:07. > :03:09.there with diarrhoea and other waterborne diseases. They are

:03:10. > :03:14.anxious about the effect that will have. 12 million people, that is

:03:15. > :03:21.right, 12 million people just in this one Indian state have had to

:03:22. > :03:23.leave their home. Many of them are living in temporary shelters, some

:03:24. > :03:29.just sticks that some top Paulin on top. They are very, very vulnerable

:03:30. > :03:34.to disease. There is very little clean water and no sanitation. The

:03:35. > :03:37.Red Cross teams are out there to try and provide them with clean water,

:03:38. > :03:42.food and other supplies they need, but it is a huge, huge struggle. As

:03:43. > :03:47.you can see, it isn't raining here in Bihar, but that doesn't mean that

:03:48. > :03:54.this crisis is over. That area is used to very heavy

:03:55. > :03:58.monsoon rain. Clearly this is exceptionally heavy and prolonged.

:03:59. > :04:03.Do you get a sense the authorities there, the agencies, were prepared

:04:04. > :04:11.for it to be this bad, this time? This is exceptional. Once a decade

:04:12. > :04:16.kind of scale of flood. The authorities recognise flooding

:04:17. > :04:21.happens often. The problem is, they simply aren't resources to deal with

:04:22. > :04:27.the scale of a crisis like this. As I say, just in this state, 12

:04:28. > :04:30.million people displaced. Across India, 17 million people affected.

:04:31. > :04:34.Really a very large number of people affected. Hospitals in India are

:04:35. > :04:39.stretched out the best of times, and a huge number of people now

:04:40. > :04:43.suffering from diarrhoea and other diseases added to that, and it is a

:04:44. > :04:46.real problem. The emergency services, they don't have boats or

:04:47. > :04:51.the resources to go out in the floodwater to go and help people.

:04:52. > :04:59.The people themselves are incredibly poor. People in Bihar are often

:05:00. > :05:03.subsistence farmers, the poorest people in the entire world. They

:05:04. > :05:07.have very little, their houses are fragile a makeshift den easily

:05:08. > :05:12.destroyed, and when they swept away, as many have been, these people are

:05:13. > :05:17.not able to withstand the rigours. They don't have savings or money to

:05:18. > :05:22.rebuild. So it is a huge problem. Listen, when you look back over

:05:23. > :05:26.floods, which stretch all the way from Bangladesh to Pakistan, when

:05:27. > :05:29.you look at the responses to these floods, in previous years big

:05:30. > :05:33.floods, and there have been many over the decades, have much higher

:05:34. > :05:35.death tolls. In a sense that is a measure that suggests to us

:05:36. > :05:41.governments are getting better. Having said that, a figure of 1400

:05:42. > :05:50.people killed by the floods tells us there is still a huge, huge

:05:51. > :05:54.challenge here in south Asia. Justin, reporting from Bihar, thank

:05:55. > :05:58.you for the update. A huge challenge there that Justin

:05:59. > :06:00.was talking about South Asia battles with the floods and flood damage.

:06:01. > :06:05.There is also damage in the US. President Trump is to visit Texas

:06:06. > :06:08.again today, to assess the flood He'll fly to Houston,

:06:09. > :06:11.accompanied by the first lady, where he'll meet survivors

:06:12. > :06:13.and volunteers involved A chemical plant near to the city

:06:14. > :06:17.has exploded after its cooling Our US Correspondent Barbara

:06:18. > :06:20.Plett Usher has been out with the emergency services,

:06:21. > :06:27.to assess the damage across Houston. The sheriffs of Houston

:06:28. > :06:31.are still working 12-hour shifts, even though the floodwaters

:06:32. > :06:33.they battled earlier Like nothing they have

:06:34. > :06:37.ever experienced before, a disaster on a scale rarely seen

:06:38. > :06:40.in the US. The water was over this

:06:41. > :06:42.bridge right here. They remember the ones

:06:43. > :06:45.they were not able to rescue. Some of them weren't able to get out

:06:46. > :06:51.in time for them to get help, and they were basically stuck

:06:52. > :06:53.inside their house, you know. And they're crippled,

:06:54. > :06:56.or they can't even get outside of their residence,

:06:57. > :07:00.and they died. The sweep of the storm

:07:01. > :07:05.caught people by surprise. After sitting over Houston for days,

:07:06. > :07:08.it continued east, keeping emergency In Harvey's wake, there

:07:09. > :07:25.is massive disruption. Chemical spills started fires

:07:26. > :07:27.at this chemical plant. More are expected, spreading

:07:28. > :07:28.anxiety about toxins. And, in mucky, waterlogged

:07:29. > :07:30.neighbourhoods, now comes What can be salvaged,

:07:31. > :07:34.how much is lost, and who will The Trump administration got

:07:35. > :07:41.good marks for its early Now, it has to show the staying

:07:42. > :07:44.power needed to help Utility companies could be charged

:07:45. > :07:54.by the hour for digging up busy roads, when they work

:07:55. > :08:02.on improving their infrastructure - this under plans being put forward

:08:03. > :08:04.by the Government. Ministers hope the policy

:08:05. > :08:06.would force contractors in England to speed up repairs,

:08:07. > :08:08.or carry out work at night to reduce traffic delays

:08:09. > :08:10.caused by their projects. Mile after mile, hour after hour

:08:11. > :08:16.of delays caused by roadworks. It's thought one in every

:08:17. > :08:18.three of our journeys Around 2.5 million roadworks

:08:19. > :08:23.are carried out every year in England, costing the economy

:08:24. > :08:25.an estimated ?4 billion in lost working hours

:08:26. > :08:30.and delayed deliveries. Utility companies aren't responsible

:08:31. > :08:35.for every excavated carriageway or set of temporary traffic lights,

:08:36. > :08:38.but it's hoped this new scheme may persuade them to carry

:08:39. > :08:41.out their work more quickly or at night, so as to

:08:42. > :08:44.cause less disruption. Under the proposals,

:08:45. > :08:46.councils could charge utility companies up to ?2500 per site

:08:47. > :08:51.to work on roads during the day. When trialled in London back

:08:52. > :08:54.in 2012, this led to a 42% drop in the levels of disruption

:08:55. > :08:59.caused by roadworks. We've been trialling it in London

:09:00. > :09:03.and Kent and it's proved extremely successful,

:09:04. > :09:09.and we estimate that there's been about 600 less incursions

:09:10. > :09:11.into the highway surface So now we're on extending

:09:12. > :09:16.the scheme nationwide. The idea has been cautiously

:09:17. > :09:19.welcomed by the AA and the RAC, but they've warned that these

:09:20. > :09:21.changes mustn't read the works being rushed or slapdash, simply

:09:22. > :09:24.to hand road as quickly as possible. The Local Government Association has

:09:48. > :09:51.equalities Minister Sarah Champion has been talking about divisions in

:09:52. > :09:56.the country. We are going to talk to our political correspondent, in our

:09:57. > :10:00.London newsroom. Sarah Champion caused some controversy about an

:10:01. > :10:05.article that her name was put two and comments about men who groom

:10:06. > :10:09.young women? Yes, Sarah Champion has apologised

:10:10. > :10:13.for the poor choice of words used in that article in last month's the Sun

:10:56. > :10:59.men involved. She says... It's one thing to

:11:00. > :11:04.recognise a cry model, recognising why it has planted such deep root is

:11:05. > :11:09.a different challenge altogether. She accuses the left of being too

:11:10. > :11:13.afraid of being called racist than tackling, and that stopping them

:11:14. > :11:17.tackling this issue head on. She said she would rather be called

:11:18. > :11:20.racist than turn a blind eye to child abuse, perhaps unshackled

:12:20. > :12:28.And then, as we came off the beach, then it really kind of hit,

:12:29. > :12:31.and we were all kind of coughing a little bit.

:12:32. > :12:35.And my children were really, really upset,

:12:36. > :12:36.because their eyes were really painful.

:12:37. > :12:40.Coastguard rescue teams raced to help clear the area,

:12:41. > :12:44.but by the end of Sunday evening, around 150 people had to be treated,

:12:45. > :12:51.Sussex Police said those who required treatment experienced

:13:04. > :13:06.The Maritime and Coastguard Agency now think the gas may have come

:13:07. > :13:10.from one of the many shipwrecks in the English Channel.

:13:11. > :13:13.It is also investigating discharges from passing ships or lost cargo

:13:14. > :13:23.Tennis star Serena Williams has given birth to a baby girl

:13:24. > :13:37.News of the birth came as Auntie Venus prepared to go out

:13:38. > :13:40.Congratulations have been pouring in from sports

:13:41. > :13:42.stars and celebrities, including Beyonce, Rafa Nadal,

:13:43. > :13:44.and Wimbledon champion Garbine Mugurutha.

:13:45. > :13:47.Crowds at the Bournemouth Air Festival have been wowed by one

:13:48. > :13:55.of the world's first aero-pyrotechnic display teams.

:13:56. > :13:57.These are great pictures from overnight.

:13:58. > :13:59.These are pictures of the 'twister' duo,

:14:00. > :14:01.who have been putting on a spectacular

:14:02. > :14:08.Look at that! The lights on the plains and coming out of the back as

:14:09. > :14:08.well. They ducked and dived,

:14:09. > :14:10.illuminating the sky, whilst thousands of people watched

:14:11. > :14:16.from below. I don't think I've ever heard one of

:14:17. > :14:18.those displays at night before, a whole new world of possibilities!

:14:19. > :14:26.Amazing. It is 8.14. Monsoon rains in South Asia have

:14:27. > :14:29.caused some of the worst flooding the region has seen in a decade,

:14:30. > :14:31.leaving an area the size With 41 million people affected,

:14:32. > :14:40.The British Red Cross has launched Its teams have been on the ground

:14:41. > :14:44.in India, Bangladesh and Nepal since the flooding began

:14:45. > :14:52.two weeks ago. Let's find out what stage the relief

:14:53. > :14:54.effort is out. Let's talk to Alex Carle

:14:55. > :15:03.from the charity, who's Thank you for talking to us this

:15:04. > :15:07.morning. Can you tell us what your teams are doing, which areas they

:15:08. > :15:12.are focusing on, wed the devastation is worst?

:15:13. > :15:16.So, there is more than 1800 Red Cross volunteers across the three

:15:17. > :15:21.countries, while working to find the missing and to repatriate people

:15:22. > :15:24.with their families. Today people to emergency shelters, to provide them

:15:25. > :15:31.with safe, clean drinking water, food, shelter, temporary shelter and

:15:32. > :15:38.then food and clothing. We were talking to our reporter who is in

:15:39. > :15:42.north India. He was saying this time around, we have reported on flooding

:15:43. > :15:52.in the region before, the death toll is lower, still high at 40 million,

:15:53. > :15:56.but the response from the governments has been better. Would

:15:57. > :16:00.you say that is what you are witnessing as well? Yes, absolutely.

:16:01. > :16:04.Flooding does happen in this region, in these regions on a regular basis

:16:05. > :16:08.but this is definitely at a much greater scale than what we have seen

:16:09. > :16:13.recently. You can imagine that in Bangladesh more than a third of the

:16:14. > :16:16.country is affected and underwater, and how that might feel in the

:16:17. > :16:22.United Kingdom if that scale of devastation happened across the

:16:23. > :16:28.country. So who trains are out, roads are blocked, bridges have been

:16:29. > :16:31.damaged. More than 1000 schools are now closed, medical centres are

:16:32. > :16:34.affected by the flooding as well, even though there is increased need

:16:35. > :16:38.for medical services. More than a million homes have been affected by

:16:39. > :16:45.the floods as well. This is an incredible scale of disaster.

:16:46. > :16:50.How are the governments reacting across the region? For Bangladesh

:16:51. > :16:54.government is trying to control the water flow. There has been a lot of

:16:55. > :16:58.preparation. The Red Cross across the three countries works in these

:16:59. > :17:02.areas, to reduce the risks when flooding happens but this has

:17:03. > :17:06.surpassed the expected levels. The governments are responding, along

:17:07. > :17:09.with the Red Cross volunteers, to help people in the short-term, to

:17:10. > :17:13.bring them to safety, but also to look in the longer term about how to

:17:14. > :17:17.reduce the risks in the future and how to reduce the risk of cholera

:17:18. > :17:25.and further disease outbreaks affecting even more people in the

:17:26. > :17:27.short-term. With so many people displaced, where are they going,

:17:28. > :17:31.what kind of temporary accommodation or permanent accommodation have they

:17:32. > :17:34.been directed to? In the different countries, there are so many people

:17:35. > :17:38.communities affected, it will be different in different places. Some

:17:39. > :17:42.people are having to make shift their own accommodation, others will

:17:43. > :17:46.be living in homes. People will be opening their doors. On the

:17:47. > :17:50.governments will be clearing some areas, trying to provide

:17:51. > :17:56.accommodation for them in the short-term. Tarpaulins are being

:17:57. > :18:00.distributed, to help provide cover from the shelter from Red Cross

:18:01. > :18:06.volunteers. What you need the most, in terms of aid? The British Red

:18:07. > :18:10.Cross has launched an appeal. Funds would help us to provide, to get

:18:11. > :18:16.food out to people as soon as possible. To help the governments to

:18:17. > :18:20.reduce the risk of cholera and other waterborne disease outbreaks, and to

:18:21. > :18:24.help these people to rebuild their lives. There's going to be an impact

:18:25. > :18:32.on the food, because a lot of the food is grown in the most fertile

:18:33. > :18:36.areas on the flood plains, so it will have an impact on food

:18:37. > :18:40.production in these countries for at least the next six months. Funds

:18:41. > :18:42.will help to provide food and fill some of these gaps. Thank you for

:18:43. > :18:46.your time with us this morning. You're watching

:18:47. > :18:49.Breakfast from BBC News. More heavy rain is battering

:18:50. > :18:55.parts of Southern Asia, which has been devastated

:18:56. > :18:57.by flooding, leaving millions of people homeless

:18:58. > :19:01.and more than 1400 dead. Utility companies could soon be

:19:02. > :19:04.charged by-the-hour for digging up The Government believes the policy

:19:05. > :19:21.would force contractors Lots of people have plans for that

:19:22. > :19:29.last burst of summer over the weekend, maybe going camping or

:19:30. > :19:34.doing some sport. Blue skies? Just a burst of summer, sort of. It

:19:35. > :19:38.is not going to be that spectacular as far as temperatures go this

:19:39. > :19:43.weekend. But decent enough. A nice bright day. Bright rather than

:19:44. > :19:46.sunny, because some of us will see these fair weather clouds developing

:19:47. > :19:50.and maybe a couple of light showers. Here is the window of fine weather.

:19:51. > :19:55.Here in the Atlantic, a rather large area of cloud that is rolling in our

:19:56. > :19:57.direction and that will bring as a lot of damp weather. Initially

:19:58. > :20:02.tomorrow to western areas and then other parts of the country will get

:20:03. > :20:12.it. Not in the short term, in the short term we have this fine

:20:13. > :20:15.summer... It is still summer but 1st of September is meteorological

:20:16. > :20:19.autumn. We're well into that now. As far as this afternoon is concerned,

:20:20. > :20:22.fine weather in the North of Scotland down to the south coast of

:20:23. > :20:26.England. Temperatures are more or less the same wherever you are,

:20:27. > :20:33.weather you are Belfast, Aberystwyth, Nottingham, down into

:20:34. > :20:37.brighten, all around 17-19. London always a little warmer. I mentioned

:20:38. > :20:43.a couple of showers in the south-east, that is pretty much it.

:20:44. > :20:47.Here comes the rain, quite heavy at this stage but the thing about this

:20:48. > :20:52.rain band is as it moves from west to east, this weather front will be

:20:53. > :20:56.very slow, but also it is going to start to sort of break up a little

:20:57. > :21:00.bit. The rain will get less and less heavy. I think in the end what we

:21:01. > :21:04.will end up with is overcast skies across many areas. That rain is

:21:05. > :21:08.starting to break up a little bit and become a bit more patchy. It

:21:09. > :21:15.gives us an indication it won't be raining all the time tomorrow, it

:21:16. > :21:18.will be burst of rain and many eastern areas will probably stayed

:21:19. > :21:20.right right through the course of the afternoon. Places like Hull and

:21:21. > :21:24.Norwich. Even later in the day the sun might come out, for example in

:21:25. > :21:28.Belfast. He is a summary for the weekend. Today's the day to do it if

:21:29. > :21:31.you are out and about, sunny Saturday, and tomorrow the umbrellas

:21:32. > :21:32.out. A bit of both, just like this picture, some sunshine

:21:33. > :21:43.and the umbrellas! Thank you very much indeed. It is a 21 AM. Time for

:21:44. > :21:45.a look at the Saturday morning papers.

:21:46. > :21:48.Mike Barton, the Chief Constable of Durham Police is here to tell us

:21:49. > :21:57.Good morning. We're going to dive straight in. This is a debate we had

:21:58. > :22:02.yesterday or the day before... It all blends into one.

:22:03. > :22:06.The RAF opening combat roles to females. We had a debate about if

:22:07. > :22:10.infantrymen would feel safe with women next to them on the front line

:22:11. > :22:17.and whether women were physically capable or as strong to be able to

:22:18. > :22:21.have close combat and take an an enemy, a man, bigger than

:22:22. > :22:25.themselves. I am having some difficulty because

:22:26. > :22:34.I have never been in the Army. I was an RAF cadet. But policewomen, women

:22:35. > :22:37.police officers, have been in the front line for decades and they've

:22:38. > :22:44.proven themselves over decades to be as equipped as men. And they have

:22:45. > :22:48.violent situations to deal with. So I have difficulty with this. All I

:22:49. > :22:52.would do is reassure the doubters, to say try it, because I think you'd

:22:53. > :22:57.be surprised just how effective women can be. I'm going to play

:22:58. > :23:03.devils advocate. One of the many arguments that comes are that if you

:23:04. > :23:06.are a male serving officer, let's say a police officer, and you can

:23:07. > :23:10.tell us from your experience, and you are with a female police officer

:23:11. > :23:15.and in a violent situation, your instinct is to protect the smaller,

:23:16. > :23:19.weaker, physically weaker female. Therefore it distracts you from

:23:20. > :23:23.doing your job. That is one of the arguments. Has anyone ever said that

:23:24. > :23:28.to you? It is really interesting, this. Most of our officers are

:23:29. > :23:34.assaulted when there are more than one of them. So if you actually look

:23:35. > :23:39.at the injuries... If an officer is on their Rome, they are less likely

:23:40. > :23:44.to be solved it. Our analysis says that is because they adopt a

:23:45. > :23:48.slightly different approach to that. So the more aggressively that you

:23:49. > :23:53.attend situation, the more likely you are afterwards to be assaulted.

:23:54. > :23:56.So what we finding is it is communication skills that are the

:23:57. > :24:03.key when it comes to policing. That is why I had that caveat at the

:24:04. > :24:06.start, that I have never been in the army, and clearly there are some

:24:07. > :24:09.army situations where you can't talk your way out of it, you have to

:24:10. > :24:14.shoot your way out of it. We have armed officers who are female as

:24:15. > :24:18.well. I have absolutely never come across any situation where I have

:24:19. > :24:22.had any doubt about the effectiveness of policewomen. I do

:24:23. > :24:26.know people say that. All I am saying is, my experience, it's just

:24:27. > :24:32.not the case. I think there are gender stereotypes just underneath,

:24:33. > :24:35.and people are saying, people have different bodies and all that sort

:24:36. > :24:42.of thing. I'm not buying it, frankly, absolutely not.

:24:43. > :24:46.Interesting. Let's to this story from the Times. Utility companies,

:24:47. > :24:50.gas, electricity and phone companies eating up the road than it can take

:24:51. > :24:55.weeks and causes traffic jams. The government are talking about

:24:56. > :25:00.charging them, ?2500 an hour in some cases to try and give them a bit of

:25:01. > :25:03.an incentive. I am going for the popular vote here and hoping

:25:04. > :25:07.everyone is cheering at home that I have picked this story. It is just

:25:08. > :25:14.really, it makes you cross, doesn't it? When the roads are blocked and

:25:15. > :25:21.it's all empty. I remember when John Major, the Prime Minister, talked

:25:22. > :25:26.about traffic cones. Seriously, this is burning up the roads. Of course,

:25:27. > :25:29.when you have Stationery traffic you also increase pollution. The one

:25:30. > :25:34.thing I have always questioned is why are these pipes under the road?

:25:35. > :25:38.Why can't they be under the side of the road? I'm sure there is a

:25:39. > :25:41.perfectly reasonable explanation, but I would like somebody to think

:25:42. > :25:46.about putting the gas pipes... That would be a big job, moving the

:25:47. > :25:52.pipes. You would only have to do it one. Lots of people getting in touch

:25:53. > :25:55.saying you charge the utility companies ?2500, it is the customers

:25:56. > :25:58.of them that end up paying it because the bills go up and stop

:25:59. > :26:04.Kerry you are probably right. This is a favourite of ours, it has made

:26:05. > :26:10.me quite sad. End of the line for Yellow Pages imprint. Tell us what

:26:11. > :26:14.you have picked this out. I didn't realise that the Yellow Pages only

:26:15. > :26:20.started in 1966 but has been with us over 50 years. It is just something

:26:21. > :26:25.that everybody has in their home, don't make? I have to say, I do miss

:26:26. > :26:28.if something goes wrong at home and you need a plumber, and electrician

:26:29. > :26:33.or anything like that, it was just really helpful to go to that page in

:26:34. > :26:36.the book. I know people are saying they are going online and things

:26:37. > :26:41.like that, but I just sometimes have a worry when you are online that you

:26:42. > :26:44.are being pushed to people who may have paid for the advert. Where as

:26:45. > :26:48.you just at that time to settle on people who you might have wanted

:26:49. > :26:54.locally. We will talk to you again in an hour. A random question, do

:26:55. > :26:58.you like mushrooms? I'm allergic to mushrooms, I'm so sorry! Oh no,

:26:59. > :27:07.you're so not the right person to talk to about this next item! I will

:27:08. > :27:16.tell you why. Matt is with us. He is in charge of Saturday Morning

:27:17. > :27:20.Kitchen. Our newspaper reviewer is allergic to mushrooms! A great

:27:21. > :27:27.start. You couldn't make it up! We are a bit upset because this is the

:27:28. > :27:31.best we have for our breakfast. We like mushrooms. I don't know if you

:27:32. > :27:35.can see that... Mushrooms on toast for breakfast. It is pretty

:27:36. > :27:42.glamorous. You are mushroom overloading!

:27:43. > :27:46.You are a fun guy... You will be doing mushrooms all day!

:27:47. > :27:50.Yes, we are, they are bang in season. We have a little Rick Stein

:27:51. > :27:54.treaty coming up later on. Mushrooms are in season so we are going to do

:27:55. > :27:59.something with that. You have caught as in mid-flow, here about an hour

:28:00. > :28:04.earlier than usual! We just had a lovely grouse recipe from Tom,

:28:05. > :28:12.delicious. We had the madness earlier, drinking beer. We have

:28:13. > :28:18.Michaela with her nice lipstick on in the background! We are setting up

:28:19. > :28:21.to rip dill hearse heaven and hell. This is what we're up to whilst

:28:22. > :28:28.you're the sofa reading out the news.

:28:29. > :28:34.We do more than that! Can you do better... With all due respect to

:28:35. > :28:37.the BBC canteen in Salford, it's excellent. What could you do with

:28:38. > :28:44.mushrooms for us question I can reset your challenge? Something a

:28:45. > :28:48.bit more exciting than that? That is why we are here and have a

:28:49. > :28:53.live TV show to do that. We have some great shots here and lots of

:28:54. > :28:57.ideas. One up the anti? Why not ask the viewers for their recipe ideas,

:28:58. > :29:01.how about that? They could send it into hashtag Saturday kitchen. We

:29:02. > :29:06.can pick one to cook live later on in the what do you think? I think

:29:07. > :29:10.that's a copout, you couldn't think of a decent enough recipe so you

:29:11. > :29:22.have asked the viewers! It is great, we can go down the shops. I have a

:29:23. > :29:25.Ferrari! Send him off and get some ingredients and come back and we can

:29:26. > :29:32.cook one of the viewer's recipes. And you can deliver it to us for

:29:33. > :29:38.lunch? Well, if you like. Manchester is a long way, it might be cold!

:29:39. > :29:42.Let's make sure they send the recipes into hashtag Saturday

:29:43. > :29:45.kitchen. OK, we will see you in an hour. Hope you have tidied the place

:29:46. > :29:48.up by then and are out of the civvies. Fine. This is only come

:30:36. > :30:38.is a bit rubbish tomorrow. That's technical, rubbish.

:30:39. > :30:42.But first a summary of this morning's main news.

:30:43. > :30:45.More heavy rain is falling in the parts of South Asia

:30:46. > :30:49.which were worst affected by this year's monsoon season.

:30:50. > :30:52.It's now believed more than 1,400 people have died and millions

:31:16. > :31:24.Utility companies could be charged by the hour for digging up busy

:31:25. > :31:27.roads in England under plans being put forward by the Government.

:31:28. > :31:29.Ministers hope the policy would force contractors

:31:30. > :31:31.to speed up repairs or carry out work at

:31:32. > :31:35.Trials in London and Kent have indicated that firms avoided working

:31:36. > :31:45.The investigation into the chemical cloud which affected parts

:31:46. > :31:48.of East Sussex last Sunday is looking into the possibility

:31:49. > :31:51.that it may have been caused by emissions from known shipwrecks

:31:52. > :31:55.The beach at Birling Gap, near Eastbourne, was closed

:32:29. > :32:38.The Yellow Pages telephone directory will be printed

:32:39. > :32:53.Remember this? I don't suppose you have a copy of Life Fishing by JR

:33:07. > :33:09.Well-known for its 1980s advertising campaign featuring

:34:00. > :34:02.an inquiry. Just as people were starting to forget, he says, you

:34:03. > :34:09.have to drag it up again this morning! Should I get of the person

:34:10. > :34:17.responsible for that I could happily throttle he or she. Cheesed off DHH.

:34:18. > :34:24.Every time he picks up the phone he says, "I'm DH Hartley."

:34:25. > :34:30.It goes back to America. 1883. It was printed in America. They didn't

:34:31. > :34:41.have enough White Paper and they did it on yellow paper. They had so many

:34:42. > :34:51.uses. You used to see how many pages you could tear through! Tracey said

:34:52. > :34:59.she used to take them outside and make a stage and she and her friend

:35:00. > :35:06.would perform dances on them. 101 uses for the Yellow Pages.

:35:07. > :35:10.Let's talk about the football, Dan. Scotland get the award for the best

:35:11. > :35:16.performance. I was flicking between the games last night. England was a

:35:17. > :35:21.desperate performance. Scotland defensively they shored up in their

:35:22. > :35:24.game against Leut yan and it is really important they maintain that

:35:25. > :35:29.momentum and try and stay in with a shout of trying to get through

:35:30. > :35:35.qualifying for Russia next year. A big game against Malta in a few

:35:36. > :35:39.days' time. A 3-0 win. Relief for Gordon Strachan who has been under

:35:40. > :35:43.Britishure. They may still live to regret the points they dropped. It

:35:44. > :35:48.could be too little, too late because they have to rely on England

:35:49. > :36:01.beating Slovakia. We can hear from Gordon Strachan who is pleased.

:36:02. > :36:04.Do you think we can win? Yes, I think we can win.

:36:05. > :36:09.Did I think we would have that many attempts at goals?

:36:10. > :36:13.It was a game where our attack came from different angles,

:36:14. > :36:23.If you looked at the score, you would have thought job done. It

:36:24. > :36:25.could have been 2-0 up within four or five minutes. It is one of those

:36:26. > :36:30.games where they are really strong at the back. They are not a

:36:31. > :36:34.particularly good side Malta, we know that. That should be an easy

:36:35. > :36:40.game and the goals came really late in the match. At the end you think

:36:41. > :36:44.4-0, that's fine, but it is the fact that Malta managed to frustrate

:36:45. > :36:46.England for so long in that game and you can see why fans are getting

:36:47. > :36:52.miffed after last night's performance. What about the fact

:36:53. > :36:57.that England could turn around its frustration and score four goals?

:36:58. > :37:02.That's the positive that Gareth Southgate will put on it. I heard

:37:03. > :37:03.him speaking. I'll shut up and you listen to Gareth Southgate because

:37:04. > :37:09.he has been in this position before. Of course, we would like to have

:37:10. > :37:11.scored our goals earlier. If we had scored our goals earlier

:37:12. > :37:14.tonight, it would have helped For me, that is the benefit

:37:15. > :37:18.of having played for England, because I have been involved

:37:19. > :37:22.in nights like this before. I have seen other

:37:23. > :37:24.managers go through it. I have been on the pitch

:37:25. > :37:27.when we haven't scored loads of goals, against teams

:37:28. > :37:38.who are supposedly minnows, Northern Ireland won in San Marino.

:37:39. > :37:44.They only need a point to guarantee the play-offs. That's a great

:37:45. > :37:52.performance. It is another amazing campaign and carrying on from what

:37:53. > :37:59.we have seen in recent seasons. This is Charlton. I'm hijacking your

:38:00. > :38:05.sports bulletin. Josh McGuinness got two and Stephen Davis got a penalty

:38:06. > :38:09.as well. We need to talk about Wales and Austria tonight. We will have

:38:10. > :38:13.insight into how important Wales' campaign is considering how well

:38:14. > :38:21.they did in the Euros. When was that now? Last year. You were there! I

:38:22. > :38:27.know! We had the Olympics in between that as well. We we have got John

:38:28. > :38:30.Walters talking about the Republic of Ireland who take on Georgia today

:38:31. > :38:41.and probably the moves that didn't go through as well as those that

:38:42. > :38:46.did. We have got an update on the game for Grenfell. So we will

:38:47. > :38:52.feature that today and Forest Green Rovers, now, they are a team that

:38:53. > :39:02.breaks the mould. Can I ask where Forest Green Rovers is from? Forest

:39:03. > :39:09.of Dean. I don't want e-mails about me not knowing! It is unconventional

:39:10. > :39:13.because they were taken over by the owner who is in green energy. They

:39:14. > :39:18.don't have any meat at the ground. It is ve began food. They travel in

:39:19. > :39:22.an economically friendly way. They are trying to build a new stadium

:39:23. > :39:28.made out of wood. They don't want concrete in the stadium. They are in

:39:29. > :39:32.league football for the first time. Mark has been to see them and it is

:39:33. > :39:41.a really interesting insight into how to do football differently. You

:39:42. > :39:45.like your golf, Dan. We have got professional crazy golf coming up.

:39:46. > :39:50.It is just putting ought the time. I take it you have been out and about.

:39:51. > :39:53.There'll be no British interest in the second week of the US Open

:39:54. > :39:56.after Kyle Edmund was forced to retire in his third round clash

:39:57. > :40:00.The match was evenly poised at a set all

:40:01. > :40:03.with both players getting into the rhythm.

:40:04. > :40:06.But just as the contest was heating up, Edmund called for the physio,

:40:07. > :40:09.He returned to the court briefly, losing the third set,

:40:10. > :40:15.before reluctantly retiring at the start of the fourth.

:40:16. > :40:22.Do you carry on to the end, but you just go through

:40:23. > :40:29.And you don't want to pull out straightaway.

:40:30. > :40:31.You want to see is this going to get better?

:40:32. > :40:34.But ultimately, I thought, I'm not going to win two

:40:35. > :40:45.I knew that I wasn't going to win two more sets feeling like that.

:40:46. > :40:48.Maria Sharapova has made it through to the fourth round,

:40:49. > :40:51.in her first Grand Slam event since returning to the game,

:40:52. > :40:57.The 2006 champion, beat teenage American, Sofia Kenin,

:40:58. > :40:59.on the main show court so the Arthur Ashe Court

:41:00. > :41:01.where she's plyed all three of her matches,

:41:02. > :41:04.And afterwards she hit back at Caroline Wozniacki's complaints,

:41:05. > :41:06.that Sharapova gets favourable treatment, when it comes

:41:07. > :41:17.With regards to scheduling as you know I don't make the schedule and

:41:18. > :41:22.you know I'm a pretty big competitor and if you put me out in the parking

:41:23. > :41:26.lot of Queen's in New York City I'm happy to play there. That's not what

:41:27. > :41:34.matters to me. All that matters to me is I'm in the fourth round and

:41:35. > :41:35.I'm not sure where she is. Such a stinging comment from

:41:36. > :41:40.Sharapova. The domestic rugby union season got

:41:41. > :41:44.off to a pulsating start last night with Gloucester scoring a last

:41:45. > :41:46.minute try to beat defending The game was level at 21-21,

:41:47. > :41:50.and heading for a draw, when Gloucester full back

:41:51. > :41:52.Jason Woodward popped up in the 82nd minute, of the game,

:41:53. > :41:55.to snatch an opening day victory. In the nights other Premiership

:41:56. > :41:58.game, Newcastle beat Worcester 35-8. The expanded Pro 14 also

:41:59. > :42:00.got underway last night and it was an impressive

:42:01. > :42:04.start for Ulster. They beat league debutants

:42:05. > :42:06.the South African side All Black, Charles Pee-a-tow,

:42:07. > :42:11.scoring one of Ulster's six tries. There were also wins,

:42:12. > :42:15.for Edinburgh and Munster. I am sure all of us would have

:42:16. > :42:24.played crazy golf at some point. But did you know if you're good

:42:25. > :42:27.enough, you can turn professional. The world championships

:42:28. > :42:29.took place in Hastings, earlier this summer and the British

:42:30. > :42:31.team, leave for Croatia this week for the world

:42:32. > :42:40.adventure golf masters. Earlier this summer they came

:42:41. > :42:43.flocking to the home of crazy golf at Hastings which has hosted the

:42:44. > :42:49.World Championship for the last 15 years. It may not be St Andrew's,

:42:50. > :42:56.but attention to detail is just the same. They do have some of the most

:42:57. > :43:01.challenging including the water mill. While for most of us it is

:43:02. > :43:06.just a bit of fun on holiday, some like three time champion Chris here

:43:07. > :43:10.take it very seriously indeed. A lot of people say crazy golf, but when

:43:11. > :43:14.they come and try it and see how skilful it can be. You can go around

:43:15. > :43:18.the country opening courses and advertising crazy golf video games

:43:19. > :43:21.I've done in the past. So you get to play internationally as well. At

:43:22. > :43:26.least in miniature golf you don't have to worry about big tee shots

:43:27. > :43:30.and the power of your shot and it is about the putting, isn't it? It is

:43:31. > :43:36.about the putting. He has got past the blades or the arms of the

:43:37. > :43:41.windmill. It is a risk. It is a blustery day so the windmill is apt

:43:42. > :43:46.today. Has it gone through? Oh, it went through, but too long. Mini

:43:47. > :43:49.golf started in the USA in the 1920s when rooftop courses popped up

:43:50. > :43:54.everywhere in New York. It was an easy way for inner city golfers to

:43:55. > :43:58.improve their putting. They come from over the world to compete

:43:59. > :44:02.including Olivia from the Czech Republic who won in 2013 and turned

:44:03. > :44:06.professional when she was aged seven and perhaps why Olivia was crowned

:44:07. > :44:11.world champion again this summer. I started playing when I was three

:44:12. > :44:20.years old. I like it. It is my job. And my life. It is part of a world

:44:21. > :44:25.scene now in crazy golf. Our Great Britain team are going over to

:44:26. > :44:29.Croatia to play in the world golf masters. We play against people

:44:30. > :44:34.across the world. America have a team. There is this whole domestic

:44:35. > :44:38.and international scene, but the world crazy golf championship, there

:44:39. > :44:41.is nothing like it. It is so unique. The World Championship which offers

:44:42. > :44:44.a ?1,000 prize is open to amateurs too using whatever they can find,

:44:45. > :44:55.but it is the professionals who go on to represent Great Britain at the

:44:56. > :45:01.masters in Croatia. For all of us, crazy golf can be oh so frustrating.

:45:02. > :45:03.All the holes are par two, include the helter-skelter. Could it go? No!

:45:04. > :45:20.Can I have that? It bubbled out. So close to a hole in one!

:45:21. > :45:27.I love the idea that you can putt with anything. So you could putt

:45:28. > :45:33.with a stick of celery? I don't think you'd find the professionals

:45:34. > :45:38.doing that with a guitar. You need 11 hole in ones. The courses are so

:45:39. > :45:51.random and different. It just takes practise. I think I'd go mad. You'd

:45:52. > :45:57.go crazy! I have had 11 in my entire life in crazy golf. I love golf. You

:45:58. > :46:09.love golf. You enjoy golf. I do. It's all right. How much do you love

:46:10. > :46:14.golf? I prefer other things! I'm not a big golfer. I know you love golf.

:46:15. > :46:20.I know I'm in the minority. I'm not good with aiming. I can't even play

:46:21. > :46:25.pool to be honest. You're good at the weather! Yeah, I'm good at other

:46:26. > :46:32.things as well, you know! Like what? Are you sure?

:46:33. > :46:36.LAUGHTER We're saving you. You can do the

:46:37. > :46:44.weather and we'll shut up with our nonsense. I bet these are straw

:46:45. > :46:51.bales, I have been corrected before. Oh, was I corrected! You're not good

:46:52. > :46:56.at that either. These are straw bales, they tweeted me last time.

:46:57. > :47:00.Ways in trouble. She is giggling. They all are in fact. Let's move on

:47:01. > :47:05.with the weather. That's what I'm here to do. We have got fine

:47:06. > :47:08.weather. The clouds are rolling in. So tomorrow not such a great day

:47:09. > :47:12.because the cloud will be over us. If you can get out there today,

:47:13. > :47:15.enjoy the fine, sunny weather because it will be a good day. A

:47:16. > :47:19.bright day because there will be clouds building through the day.

:47:20. > :47:26.Let's look at the afternoon. This is 4pm. 17 Celsius in Belfast, 18

:47:27. > :47:30.Celsius in Glasgow. We will get 18 Celsius in Newcastle. The winds are

:47:31. > :47:34.light. This time of the year the sun is strong so it should feel

:47:35. > :47:37.pleasant. Notice in the South East, it is off the edge of the screen.

:47:38. > :47:46.This is fine here. But off the edge of the screen you can see a couple

:47:47. > :47:49.of light showers developing here. These are brief ones. Most of us

:47:50. > :47:53.won't catch them. Here comes the rain. The rain could be heavy

:47:54. > :47:58.towards the end of the night or early on Sunday morning in some

:47:59. > :48:02.western areas particularly Ascot hills of Wales. It could be heavy

:48:03. > :48:06.for a time in Northern Ireland and south-western Scotland, but this

:48:07. > :48:10.front slows down a little bit as it rides up this high pressure. That

:48:11. > :48:14.basically means once it starts slowing down it will also start

:48:15. > :48:17.raining itself out so the clouds will start breaking up a little bit

:48:18. > :48:20.so there will be damp weather, but I don't want to give an impression of

:48:21. > :48:25.a wash out tomorrow because it is not going to be a wash out. It is

:48:26. > :48:29.overall a cloudy day with rain on and off, and at times it could be

:48:30. > :48:32.wet, but not all the time. Later in the afternoon and evening the rain

:48:33. > :48:37.pushes further east. I have taken enough of your time. Let's look at

:48:38. > :48:42.the weekend summary, Saturday is the sunniest day and tomorrow most of us

:48:43. > :48:52.will need our brollies. Back to you and your golfing discussions!

:48:53. > :49:01.I stepped on my lead and it has been pulled out. I can't hear you.

:49:02. > :49:04.Anyway, back to you. Thank you. You were right, he's no good. He's

:49:05. > :49:18.brilliant. You've probably heard

:49:19. > :49:20.of campaigns like Dry-January, or Go Sober for October,

:49:21. > :49:23.setup to encourage people to quit And new figures suggest

:49:24. > :49:26.that the number of people who are cutting back

:49:27. > :49:28.on the booze is rising. We'll chat more about this

:49:29. > :49:36.in a moment but first, There is a difference. There is no

:49:37. > :49:45.booze in them. It is because these women are all going alcohol-free. I

:49:46. > :49:49.was a binge drinker. It wouldn't be that I would want to drink every

:49:50. > :49:55.night. But when I did I had no stop button. I always wanted more. No

:49:56. > :49:58.limit. I was like a different person when I was drinking. I had

:49:59. > :50:06.black-outs because I would drink so much. If I went away for a weekend,

:50:07. > :50:13.it was 30 pointst pints. They signed up for a programme, one year, no

:50:14. > :50:22.beer. It is the brainchild of Ray Fairbanks. It was causing trouble.

:50:23. > :50:26.It wasn't that acceptable to be hung over or coming up at 4am. It has

:50:27. > :50:31.seen a ten fold increase in membership this year alone. Its aim

:50:32. > :50:35.is to change the peer pressure around giving up drinking and to

:50:36. > :50:40.give you tactics for being in the pub. You go to the pub, you tip the

:50:41. > :50:47.barman, you puts a non alcoholic beer with lemonade into a pint glass

:50:48. > :50:52.and nobody knows. You have fake looking gin and tonics. With more

:50:53. > :50:56.Brits banishing the booze, sales of non alcoholic drinks are booming. In

:50:57. > :51:00.five years the amount of low or alcohol-free beer sold in the UK has

:51:01. > :51:03.risen by nearly 50%. For these women, getting off the booze is

:51:04. > :51:08.already providing them with many rewards. Things like clarity of

:51:09. > :51:14.thought and quickness of thought. I lost four stone. I train six days a

:51:15. > :51:21.week. I run around like a nutter and everything I want to do, I can go

:51:22. > :51:28.and do. And that's something we can all raise a mocktail to.

:51:29. > :51:30.Joining us now is GP, Dr Amrit Ryatt and David Barnicle,

:51:31. > :51:40.A dry bar sounds like a contradiction in terms. Explains how

:51:41. > :51:47.it works. What's it like if I go there? If you go there, you wouldn't

:51:48. > :51:54.know it is the place that's trying to do what it does which is provide

:51:55. > :51:58.refuge because it is slap-bang in the middle of the city centre. It is

:51:59. > :52:02.a vibrant place and looks really good. We serve lovely food and we

:52:03. > :52:07.have a massive array of different non alcoholic drinks and loads of

:52:08. > :52:14.events going on. You would just think it is an ordinary social space

:52:15. > :52:17.but it works because it is not only nor people in recovery, people are

:52:18. > :52:21.starting to frequent places like that because people are choosing a

:52:22. > :52:29.different way of socialising. So no wine, no gin, nothing at the bar?

:52:30. > :52:35.No. OK. That's fine. Dr, why do you think places like this are becoming

:52:36. > :52:39.more popular? We often report on how alcohol intake is a problem and

:52:40. > :52:43.people are lying when they go to their GPs and say how much they're

:52:44. > :52:49.taking. Or you are seeing more diseases or more effects of

:52:50. > :52:51.drinking? I think despite people having a better relationship with

:52:52. > :52:56.alcohol on the whole there are still a lot of people who have had

:52:57. > :52:58.struggles with alcohol either through dependence or problematic

:52:59. > :53:05.drinking and the same with drugs and to set up a space where they can get

:53:06. > :53:09.together, support each other, access other services as well, either

:53:10. > :53:12.psychological services we discussed alternative therapy to support them

:53:13. > :53:15.through the next stage of their journey, that's a brilliant idea. So

:53:16. > :53:18.it is good to have the option. It's good to be in a place where you

:53:19. > :53:22.don't feel you have to drink and if you want to have a drink, its good

:53:23. > :53:25.to be able to go for a drink without, welling knowing what your

:53:26. > :53:34.limits are and perhaps drinking in a more responsible way. Does it have

:53:35. > :53:40.to be so specific not drinking? When is it going to get to the point as

:53:41. > :53:45.in you need help or you need to recover? You need guidance as to how

:53:46. > :53:50.not to drink? Is there going to be a point where not drinking is fine?

:53:51. > :53:54.People here say that it is almost embarrassing saying you have given

:53:55. > :53:58.up alcohol because it is like you say you have given up alcohol

:53:59. > :54:03.because you have had a problem? It depends on the experience thaw want

:54:04. > :54:07.when you're going out socially. We are not trying to compete with the

:54:08. > :54:11.night life and what people are hoping to get from those nights. It

:54:12. > :54:17.is offering an alternative and making people see that you can still

:54:18. > :54:22.bond with people and enjoy things without having a drink, but that's

:54:23. > :54:26.not to say that people can't enjoy themselves. It is not a replacement

:54:27. > :54:31.and it doesn't have to go to the extreme. Someone has been in touch

:54:32. > :54:36.on Twitter saying having seen the film that the ladies sitting around

:54:37. > :54:41.drinking the mocktails, but how much do they cost? It can be just as

:54:42. > :54:46.expensive and sometimes more expensive to go for the non

:54:47. > :54:54.alcoholic alternative especially when they are full of fut juice?

:54:55. > :54:58.There is cheaper alternatives for healthy things as well. Soft drinks

:54:59. > :55:06.like lemonade and things like that, they are probably cheaper than a

:55:07. > :55:10.mocktail, but there is no alcohol. I think cost is an implication we

:55:11. > :55:14.mentioned before about university freshers not spending as much on

:55:15. > :55:17.alcohol and seeing different age groups spending less on alcohol

:55:18. > :55:22.because their budgets are tighter. So the positive effect of that is

:55:23. > :55:27.they are healthier I guess, but for me as a GP I would be keen for

:55:28. > :55:31.people to be doing it for other reasons for health motivated reasons

:57:58. > :58:07.to Birmingham City University to watch part of the programme not

:58:08. > :58:10.seen for more than 50 years. I'm still not convinced that

:58:11. > :58:15.I wasn't at that wedding. I seem to remember

:58:16. > :58:17.quite a lot about it. I think it was the first

:58:18. > :58:20.wedding we'd ever done. Despite recording five episodes

:58:21. > :58:22.a week, the majority of the early So they used to wipe the tape

:58:23. > :58:31.and just reuse it which is probably why these odd bits just

:58:32. > :58:34.get left behind. But now a team of Birmingham archive

:58:35. > :58:37.hunters led by Chris Perry have managed to track down some

:58:38. > :58:39.of the earliest surviving programmes, believed

:58:40. > :58:43.to have been lost forever. In many ways this is a quite

:58:44. > :58:46.a Holy Grail for Crossroads fans. Some of the footage

:58:47. > :58:49.was very mixed up. Some cans would have footage

:58:50. > :58:53.from the 1970s in it and in the same can something from 1965

:58:54. > :58:55.so there was no real method You're not supposed to be here.

:58:56. > :59:01.Outside if you please. The characters that were in it

:59:02. > :59:04.were not really bizarre. They were people you knew and I

:59:05. > :59:09.think that was the magic of it. Later today, fans of Crossroads

:02:08. > :02:16.Justin, we have been speaking to you throughout the morning, and rain on

:02:17. > :02:23.and off, still coming down, obviously? Yes, it is still raining.

:02:24. > :02:28.We took a walk outside of the compound we are in at the moment and

:02:29. > :02:31.we walked down the road and actually floods have risen just from the

:02:32. > :02:34.small amount of rain that we have had this morning. I think that gives

:02:35. > :02:38.you a sense of just how vulnerable these areas are. The ground is

:02:39. > :02:44.waterlogged. Even small amounts of rain means floods rise once again.

:02:45. > :02:49.We are here in a city. Imagine what it is like for a villager in a mud

:02:50. > :02:52.hut beside a river. Imagine how vulnerable they are. That is how

:02:53. > :02:57.tens of millions of people still live in this part of India.

:02:58. > :03:03.Tell us about what the relief operation has been like, and how the

:03:04. > :03:15.governments are reacting to these millions of displaced people?

:03:16. > :03:20.Millions, 41 million people affected. 12 million here in Bihar,

:03:21. > :03:25.that homes have been destroyed or badly damaged. It is an absolutely

:03:26. > :03:29.huge kind of humanitarian issue. Governments here have got better at

:03:30. > :03:33.dealing with floods, big floods do happen every now and then in this

:03:34. > :03:38.region. In the past, deaths tended to be much higher. So we would see

:03:39. > :03:41.many thousands of dead, so the figure of 1400 whilst shocking a

:03:42. > :03:46.very high, is better than it has been in the past. I guess, in a way,

:03:47. > :03:49.it tells us governments are getting better. At the same time, what an

:03:50. > :03:55.extraordinary figure. Clearly something is not going right here.

:03:56. > :03:57.Partly it is the scale of what happened, partly it is the poverty

:03:58. > :04:01.of the people affected, partly it's the fact emergency services are not

:04:02. > :04:04.well equipped or supported, don't have things like boats which are

:04:05. > :04:09.more readily available in places like America. And hospitals, which

:04:10. > :04:12.now have to deal with all sorts of waterborne diseases, they are

:04:13. > :04:16.stretched at the best of times and they are pushed even harder when

:04:17. > :04:24.they have a huge influx of people as they are expecting an already have

:04:25. > :04:29.across India and the region. It is awful. Justin, thank you very much.

:04:30. > :04:33.One of the shocking things is when you hear about the amount of land

:04:34. > :04:38.under water, it is the size of the UK under water in that region.

:04:39. > :04:40.And the challenge they face. Justin talking about the efforts in America

:05:09. > :05:12.they battled earlier Like nothing they have

:05:13. > :05:18.ever experienced before, a disaster on a scale rarely seen

:05:19. > :05:21.in the US. The water was over this

:05:22. > :05:23.bridge right here. They remember the ones

:05:24. > :05:26.they were not able to rescue. Some of them weren't able to get out

:05:27. > :05:29.in time for them to get help, and they were basically stuck

:05:30. > :05:32.inside their house, you know. And they're crippled,

:05:33. > :05:38.or they can't even get outside of their residence,

:05:39. > :05:41.and they died. The sweep of the storm

:05:42. > :05:43.caught people by surprise. After sitting over Houston for days,

:05:44. > :05:46.it continued east, keeping emergency In Harvey's wake, there

:05:47. > :05:54.is massive disruption. Chemical spills started fires

:06:07. > :06:11.how much is lost, and who will The Trump administration got

:06:12. > :06:15.good marks for its early Now, it has to show the staying

:06:16. > :06:19.power needed to help Utility companies could be charged

:06:20. > :06:31.by the hour for digging up busy roads, when they work

:06:32. > :06:33.on improving their infrastructure - this under plans being put forward

:06:34. > :06:36.by the Government. Ministers hope the policy

:06:37. > :06:38.would force contractors in England to speed up repairs,

:06:39. > :06:40.or carry out work at night to reduce traffic delays

:06:41. > :06:42.caused by their projects. Mile after mile, hour after hour

:06:43. > :06:51.of delays caused by roadworks. It's thought one in every

:06:52. > :06:54.three of our journeys Around 2.5 million roadworks

:06:55. > :06:58.are carried out every year in England, costing the economy

:06:59. > :07:02.an estimated ?4 billion in lost working hours

:07:03. > :07:05.and delayed deliveries. Utility companies aren't responsible

:07:06. > :07:09.for every excavated carriageway or set of temporary traffic lights,

:07:10. > :07:13.but it's hoped this new scheme may persuade them to carry

:07:14. > :07:19.out their work more quickly or at night, so as to

:07:20. > :07:21.cause less disruption. Under the proposals,

:07:22. > :07:23.councils could charge utility companies up to ?2500 per site

:07:24. > :07:27.to work on roads during the day. When trialled in London back

:07:28. > :07:31.in 2012, this led to a 42% drop in the levels of disruption

:07:32. > :07:36.caused by roadworks. We've been trialling it in London

:07:37. > :07:38.and Kent and it's proved extremely successful,

:07:39. > :07:41.and we estimate that there's been about 600 less incursions

:07:42. > :07:44.into the highway surface So now we're consulting on extending

:07:45. > :07:53.the scheme nationwide. The idea has been cautiously

:07:54. > :08:00.welcomed by the AA and the RAC, but they've warned that these

:08:01. > :08:02.changes mustn't lead the works being rushed or slapdash,

:08:03. > :08:04.simply to hand road The Local Government Association has

:08:05. > :08:09.praised the success of the pilot schemes and called for other

:08:40. > :08:46.correspondent Mark Lobel, Remind us what it was she wrote

:08:47. > :08:51.about, why she resigned and what she had said now? Sarah Champion

:08:52. > :08:57.apologised for a poor choice of words for an article written in last

:09:03. > :09:04.said British has -- Britain has a problem with British Pakistani men

:09:05. > :09:12.raping white girls. In an interview since she resided in today's The

:09:13. > :09:15.Times she said her inbox has gone nuts from members of the police,

:09:16. > :09:20.health professionals and social workers thanking her for raising the

:09:21. > :09:23.issue. She goes into more detail about watchmen. She talks about the

:09:24. > :09:27.crime model she was talking about and explains the sex gangs are full

:09:28. > :09:34.of friends and extended family members trafficking girls to other

:09:35. > :09:39.friends and extended family members. She says is mostly Pakistani men

:09:40. > :09:44.involved. She goes on to say in the Times "It's one thing to recognise a

:09:45. > :09:46.crime model. Understanding why it has planted such deep-rooted is a

:09:47. > :09:51.different challenge altogether." She also has a political dig at the

:09:52. > :09:55.left, saying most of the people on the left are afraid more of being

:09:56. > :09:59.called a racist than tackling this issue head on and perhaps unshackled

:10:00. > :10:03.herself now, she says she would rather be called a racist than turn

:10:04. > :10:06.a blind eye to this problem. She says some Labour MPs and members in

:10:07. > :10:11.London have not been challenged with the reality of what life is like

:10:12. > :10:15.around the country. The Labour Party has responded to this. Jeremy Corbyn

:10:16. > :10:21.says effective action is needed to tackle child abuse, but he says, he

:12:31. > :12:32.Cormac Murphy-O'Connor led the Catholic Church

:12:33. > :12:34.in England and Wales. His death, at the age of 85

:12:35. > :12:36.was announced yesterday. During his life he welcomed

:12:37. > :12:38.Pope John Paul the Second to Britain, took part

:12:39. > :12:41.in the conclave that elected Pope Benedict,

:12:42. > :12:42.and advised Tony Blair during his conversion

:12:43. > :12:43.to Catholicism. Here to discuss his life

:12:44. > :12:59.is the religious affairs Good morning. Good morning. He said

:13:00. > :13:05.he had no fear of what was to come recently. What kind of man was he?

:13:06. > :13:13.Why will he be missed by the Church? He said a good death was due after

:13:14. > :13:16.living a good life. He was very affable. He was born in Reading

:13:17. > :13:19.where his father was a GP but his father was from County Cork in

:13:20. > :13:24.Ireland. He had something of the Irish about him. He loved wine,

:13:25. > :13:28.loved song and music, was a fantastic piano player. He was a

:13:29. > :13:32.safe pair of hands, considered to be a safe pair of hands. They didn't

:13:33. > :13:38.turn out quite like that as he had a baptism of fire after he became

:13:39. > :13:41.Archbishop of Westminster, because of the paedophile scandal around

:13:42. > :13:46.Father Michael hill. He got through that and he learnt a lot from it. He

:13:47. > :13:51.always admitted he made mistakes. As a leader of Catholics in Britain,

:13:52. > :13:55.how will they remember his leadership? He was very likeable and

:13:56. > :13:59.he will be remembered as someone who helped to steer the church through

:14:00. > :14:03.very difficult times. Politically he struggled a little in the political

:14:04. > :14:09.sphere. For example, he was, although he did guide Tony Blair,

:14:10. > :14:14.did receive Tony Blair into the Catholic Church, and he got on well

:14:15. > :14:17.with Tony Blair, there was a problem with the catholic adoption agencies

:14:18. > :14:22.and gay adoption and they sort of fell out a little about that and

:14:23. > :14:26.Catholic adoption agencies had to close as a result of the government

:14:27. > :14:32.policy. He actually got on better with Gordon Brown, really, who he

:14:33. > :14:37.was very close to. He and Tony Blair were close and he received the

:14:38. > :14:39.former Prime Minister into the Catholic Church after he left

:14:40. > :14:44.Downing Street. You knew him and said he was an affable man. The

:14:45. > :14:51.Catholics, as you asked as well, what did he mean to them, in terms

:14:52. > :14:56.of faith? He was a wonderful exemplar of how to live out your

:14:57. > :15:02.faith in the modern world. The big battle in a way the Catholic Church

:15:03. > :15:04.has had, besides the terrible paedophile scandals, is how to cope

:15:05. > :15:10.with a rapidly changing secular world, a world that is becoming, in

:15:11. > :15:17.many parts, distant from the faith. In some ways becoming hostile to it

:15:18. > :15:20.and aggressive to it. He was leading the charge while these battles were

:15:21. > :15:27.starting to be played out in the public sphere, in a way they hadn't

:15:28. > :15:33.been perhaps before. So the Catholics, presented a confident and

:15:34. > :15:37.a kind face. Where his strengths were were in the past oral field. As

:15:38. > :15:41.I say, he was a wonderful and likeable man. He was very friendly

:15:42. > :15:47.and always tried to be kind to people gossiping away, that was the

:15:48. > :15:50.thing that got him into trouble with Michael Hill, this paedophile priest

:15:51. > :15:56.who was known to be a paedophile and there were complaints about him. He

:15:57. > :16:01.was sent off into psychiatric care, into treatment to try and solve the

:16:02. > :16:05.problem. Michael Hill came back on bended knee and begged to be given a

:16:06. > :16:13.job back. Instead of calling the police say no, get lost, you have to

:16:14. > :16:15.leave the priesthood go awake. Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor

:16:16. > :16:21.listened to his pleas for help and gave him a job at Gatwick Airport,

:16:22. > :16:24.where he thought there wasn't any children, where he reoffended and

:16:25. > :16:29.ended up in prison. He found that really difficult to cope with and

:16:30. > :16:35.really struggled. But as he himself said, good came out of it in the

:16:36. > :16:39.end, because Lord Nolan, a Catholic pay-out, saw the trouble he was in

:16:40. > :16:45.and how he was really struggling to cope with this, calls for his

:16:46. > :16:50.resignation he resisted. Lord Nolan called him and said, how can I help?

:16:51. > :16:52.That gave Cormac the idea to set up another commission, which led

:16:53. > :16:56.eventually to the Catholic Church of England and Wales having the world

:16:57. > :16:59.leading standards of child protection. Now it is the best in

:17:00. > :17:03.the whole world and it set a standard for the rest of the

:17:04. > :17:08.Catholic Church, which as we all know as equally struggled with this

:17:09. > :17:14.issue. And continues to. But it is coming through it now. Like Pope

:17:15. > :17:22.Francis, was a good friend of his, didn't vote for him in the conclave.

:17:23. > :17:26.When Francis was made Pope he said to Cormac afterwards, I blame you.

:17:27. > :17:30.LAUGHTER He kind of manipulated for Francis

:17:31. > :17:34.to be Pope in the meetings before the conclave. He was like Francis in

:17:35. > :17:41.his personality. A lovely man, who people loved. All of us who knew him

:17:42. > :17:45.were so fond of him. I have one final thing. I was at his last

:17:46. > :17:49.public occasion when he was a liberating at Saint Mary 's

:17:50. > :17:51.University, a big party for 60th anniversary of his priesthood. He

:17:52. > :17:54.bumped into a female journalist outside his residence and said, so

:17:55. > :18:00.what are you doing here question much she said to him, I've come to

:18:01. > :18:03.write your obituary, Father. He was so full of jokes. It was a very

:18:04. > :18:08.funny story he told and everyone fell about laughing. You saw the

:18:09. > :18:11.funny side? Absolutely. Thank you very much.

:18:12. > :18:22.Tomasz has the weather for us and the sun is shining for today at

:18:23. > :18:25.least? Yes, starting with some lovely green

:18:26. > :18:29.trees and fields. Doesn't it make you want to go run out there with

:18:30. > :18:32.your hands wide open or something like that?! And nice day today, make

:18:33. > :18:37.the most of it because the weather isn't going to hold all weekend. It

:18:38. > :18:41.will turn tomorrow. Thick cloud in the Atlantic. This is today's

:18:42. > :18:45.weather. A little cloud earlier but this is Tamara's weather and it will

:18:46. > :18:51.be in place across the UK in the next 24 hours or so. Let's enjoy a

:18:52. > :18:56.little bit of that sunshine that we have in store for today. It starts

:18:57. > :18:59.off nice, a little nippy because the night was quite chilly, particularly

:19:00. > :19:05.in the countryside. This is what it looks like in the middle of the

:19:06. > :19:08.afternoon, around 3-4. 17 and 18 degrees across the north of the

:19:09. > :19:11.country, the winds are light, a decent amount of sunshine. The sun

:19:12. > :19:16.is still pretty strong at this time of year so it will feel warm enough.

:19:17. > :19:23.Fine weather on the south coast of England and notice around Kent,

:19:24. > :19:27.Sussex, Essex and further north, the chance of a couple of light showers

:19:28. > :19:31.but most of us should miss them. Through this evening it turns wet in

:19:32. > :19:35.Northern Ireland. Early hours of the morning, it starts raining in the

:19:36. > :19:38.South West of England, throughout Wales, just around the Irish Sea,

:19:39. > :19:42.possibly into the Lake District and south-western parts of Scotland.

:19:43. > :19:45.That is the beginning of tomorrow's damp weather. This weather front

:19:46. > :19:54.drifting in off the Atlantic will start very slowly moving across the

:19:55. > :19:56.UK during Sunday. Initially, the morning is looking cloudy if not wet

:19:57. > :19:59.in places. Across western areas. Through the morning and into the

:20:00. > :20:02.afternoon, the band of cloud and rain will move eastwards and there

:20:03. > :20:06.won't be an awful lot of rain around for some most of the heavy rain will

:20:07. > :20:10.fall across the hills. For most of us tomorrow, a cloudy and damp day

:20:11. > :20:14.and it will feel a bit cooler because of that weather. It might

:20:15. > :20:16.turn out that many of these eastern areas, East Anglia and Lincolnshire

:20:17. > :20:20.could stay dry for most of the afternoon.

:20:21. > :20:23.Let's summarise the weekend. Today is definitely the best day of the

:20:24. > :20:27.weekend with some sunshine. Tomorrow, particularly folks out

:20:28. > :20:32.West, will need their umbrellas. Back to you.

:20:33. > :20:36.OK, thank you very much indeed. We will enjoy today whilst we have it.

:20:37. > :20:41.You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:20:42. > :20:43.Time now for a look at the newspapers.

:20:44. > :20:45.Mike Barton, chief constable of Durham police joins us

:20:46. > :20:52.Good morning. You have in Keith Thompson fingers from going through

:20:53. > :21:01.the papers. Let's see what you have picked. -- inky fingers. In the

:21:02. > :21:06.mail, breast-feeding could be the key to getting children to eat their

:21:07. > :21:09.vegetables. Explain? My daughter-in-law is less feeding at

:21:10. > :21:13.the moment and likes her greens, so with a bit of luck Genovese, her

:21:14. > :21:17.baby, will like her greens. What I like about this story, apart from

:21:18. > :21:22.the family connection, is they have scientifically done this. There is

:21:23. > :21:24.far too much in the media and medical profession and elsewhere

:21:25. > :21:31.where people are faddish. What they have done here is a bunch of women

:21:32. > :21:34.drank water and a bunch drank vegetable juice and they tested the

:21:35. > :21:39.kids about eight months on whether they liked vegetables or not. It

:21:40. > :21:43.seemed to be if the mother drank vegetable juice, the kids liked

:21:44. > :21:47.vegetables. What about the ones that had? Presumably they don't like

:21:48. > :21:51.vegetables as much! Do you believe this?

:21:52. > :21:56.The milk has the taste of the vegetables?

:21:57. > :22:01.I am one of six kids. Five of us liked vegetables and one doesn't. I

:22:02. > :22:07.know our mother treated us all the same. But I don't want you to be too

:22:08. > :22:11.sceptical Naga, because someone has to take forward knowledge. At least

:22:12. > :22:16.they have tried to do their best on experimentation. OK.

:22:17. > :22:21.She is not convinced! This in the Times, farming has got

:22:22. > :22:28.to get rid of its tweedy image, update itself. Why?

:22:29. > :22:31.Joanna Price has just taken over at Cirencester. The reason why she

:22:32. > :22:37.became a vet and got into farming was because a vet visited her farm

:22:38. > :22:45.and said, girls don't become vets, so she absolutely did. Everybody

:22:46. > :22:52.looks upon Tweed, I was a farmer before I joined the police. Were

:22:53. > :22:58.you? Yes, a dairy farmer. Did you wear tweed? I did, because it is a

:22:59. > :23:03.rugged cloth, useful. It is warm and hardy. What people have done is look

:23:04. > :23:07.at the fashion image of Tweed when you can put tweed jackets on

:23:08. > :23:12.everyday and they keep out the cold, keep out the rain and you don't have

:23:13. > :23:17.to wash the as frequently. They last for ages, don't they? Absolutely do.

:23:18. > :23:24.There is a serious message yet. I just think, I'm really pleased tweed

:23:25. > :23:29.has got a good image now. And actually, I'm in discussions with my

:23:30. > :23:35.wife if I will be allowed to buy a tweed jackets. She's comfortable in

:23:36. > :23:43.tweed, I want a Harris tweed jacket. You heard it here first! URI, there

:23:44. > :23:47.is a serious message. She wants to widen the appeal of farming to

:23:48. > :23:52.different ethnic and social groups. There is another angle to that

:23:53. > :23:57.story, where it is one of the universities with the lowest

:23:58. > :24:02.percentage of state school pupils, and she's doing something about

:24:03. > :24:05.that. Good luck to her. Saturday morning, lots of people

:24:06. > :24:08.might be thinking about mowing the lawn today.

:24:09. > :24:13.I have to do mine. Isn't it funny, everyone says they don't mind mowing

:24:14. > :24:18.the lawn but everyone dreads it? Look at this, a labour of love. This

:24:19. > :24:26.in the Mirror. Tell us about this picture. Stewart is there. This is

:24:27. > :24:36.how he has his lawn like that, he knows it -- mows twice a day. I bet

:24:37. > :24:42.that is a great putting green! You suggest to him he puts a hole in

:24:43. > :24:45.it! If you came from that house, Jonathan, his baby boy, who is not a

:24:46. > :24:49.baby now, wasn't allowed to play on it because it would have affected

:24:50. > :24:53.the soil. I don't think he would let me take a divot out of it with a

:24:54. > :24:57.pitching wedge! I don't know if Stewart will be watching this... I

:24:58. > :25:01.think you should go for it, it would be an interesting feature. Is a

:25:02. > :25:04.labour of love and we will need our projects. Mowing the lawn 30 hours a

:25:05. > :25:10.week. Have we got time for another one? It

:25:11. > :25:15.would be good if we could. The White helmets, they have gone. They were a

:25:16. > :25:21.talent. We have an annual event at police headquarters bike Wise where

:25:22. > :25:25.10,000 people, they are the central display team for our bike rides. We

:25:26. > :25:28.will have to find something new. If there is anybody watching who does

:25:29. > :25:33.motorcycle display team is, please get in touch with me. There is a

:25:34. > :25:37.great last line to this story, where John McClelland, the team captain,

:25:38. > :25:40.says we don't use motorbikes to move messages around the battlefield any

:25:41. > :25:45.more. Aren't we losing a little bit of colour from life when we don't

:25:46. > :25:49.have these people? Basically they said this doesn't reflect the

:25:50. > :25:54.high-tech on-screen communications in today's conflicts? And it

:25:55. > :25:58.probably cost a bit of money as well. I think sometimes we take

:25:59. > :26:03.austerity too far. It is probably too late to have a rethink, but

:26:04. > :26:08.these are really skilful people and great fun. Thank you very much

:26:09. > :26:12.indeed. Good articles to discussing the pictures.

:26:13. > :26:15.We're on BBC One until 10am, when Matt Tebbutt takes over

:26:16. > :26:23.We were saying earlier if he could come up with some sort of recipe or

:26:24. > :26:30.if the viewers could come up with a recipe for us the mushrooms. But not

:26:31. > :26:33.from Mike because he is allergic! Thanks for that challenge, that's

:26:34. > :26:36.what we needed live on a Saturday morning. Lots of viewers sent in

:26:37. > :26:41.ideas the mushroom recipes and we have picked one foster we went to

:26:42. > :26:46.the shops with our shopping trolley and you can find out what we chose

:26:47. > :26:50.later live. Our special guest today is a brilliant actor and director

:26:51. > :26:55.Jason Fleming. Good to have you here. Good to be here. You will face

:26:56. > :27:02.food heaven and food hell. What is your idea of heaven? . . You can do

:27:03. > :27:08.in so many different ways. Beetroot, love that. Hell is anything that

:27:09. > :27:17.wobbles... Gellay! That's good. We have two great chefs here as well.

:27:18. > :27:22.You are old friends, right? Yes. I'm going to cook a lovely sea bream,

:27:23. > :27:28.lovely and quick. I would tell you later about the crazy water! And

:27:29. > :27:33.Tom? Good morning. I'm going to do a perfect brunch dish, some grouse in

:27:34. > :27:38.breadcrumbs and served on toast with black pudding, fried egg and

:27:39. > :27:47.watercress mayonnaise. We also have Ollie Smith in a lovely coat. It's a

:27:48. > :27:53.jacket. Thank you. Don't forget you guys at home are in charge of

:27:54. > :27:57.Jason's heaven or hell. Lock stock and two smoking barrels for you! All

:27:58. > :28:00.that fun, we will see you at ten o'clock and I guarantee it will be a

:28:01. > :28:05.better mushroom dish than the one you have there.

:28:06. > :28:11.I don't know about that. Does it involve cheese? What about cheese?

:28:12. > :28:19.The mushroom dish? No. It isn't going to be any good. Do you want

:28:20. > :28:28.cheese? Yes, I love a bit of cheese! OK, we'll put a bit of cheese in.

:28:29. > :28:33.Anything else? Tabasco! 9:28am. Coming up for Saturday Kitchen...

:28:34. > :28:35.Comedian and actor Robert Webb will be here to tell us

:28:36. > :28:38.about his memoir How Not to be a Boy, an honest account

:28:39. > :28:42.of his childhood, and what it means to be male in the 21st century.

:28:43. > :29:59.Hello, this is Breakfast with Jon Kay and Naga Munchetty.

:30:00. > :30:02.Coming up before ten we'll get the weather with Tomasz.

:30:03. > :30:05.More heavy rain is falling in the parts of South Asia

:30:06. > :30:09.which were worst affected by this year's monsoon season.

:30:10. > :30:11.It's now believed more than 1400 people have died

:30:12. > :30:13.and millions of people have lost their homes.

:30:14. > :30:15.Parts of India's financial centre, Mumbai, are under

:30:20. > :30:24.He'll fly to Houston where he'll meet survivors and volunteers

:30:25. > :30:28.A chemical plant near the city has exploded after its cooling system

:30:29. > :30:37.Utility companies could be charged by the hour for digging up busy

:30:38. > :30:40.roads in England under plans being put forward by the Government.

:30:41. > :30:42.Ministers hope the policy would force contractors

:30:43. > :30:45.to speed up repairs or carry out work at

:30:46. > :30:50.Trials in London and Kent have indicated that firms avoided working

:30:51. > :30:59.The investigation into the chemical cloud which affected parts

:31:00. > :31:02.of East Sussex last Sunday is looking into the possibility

:31:03. > :31:04.that it may have been caused by emissions from known shipwrecks

:31:05. > :31:07.The beach at Birling Gap, near Eastbourne, was closed

:31:08. > :31:11.Around 150 people had to be treated with others reporting discomfort.

:31:12. > :31:20.The Maritime and Coastguard Agency is now investigating.

:31:21. > :31:23.Tennis star Serena Williams has given birth to a baby girl

:31:24. > :31:33.News of the birth came as her sister Venus prepared to go out

:31:34. > :31:39.Congratulations have been pouring in from sports stars

:31:40. > :31:42.and celebrities including Beyonce, Rafa Nadal and ladies Wimbledon

:31:43. > :32:02.Baby girl? I hope she doesn't play tennis. I'm very happy for her. I

:32:03. > :32:05.mean, it is such a good moment I'm sure. Well done from us too.

:32:06. > :32:07.The Yellow Pages telephone directory will be printed

:32:08. > :32:14.I don't suppose you have a copy of Flyfishing by JR Hartley.

:32:15. > :32:22.Well-known for its 1980s advertising campaign featuring

:32:23. > :32:26.the fictional author J.R Hartley, who managed to find an out-of-print

:32:27. > :32:40.The Yellow Pages has been in production for 51 years.

:32:41. > :33:09.Although we upset DH Hartley! Lots of Hartleys have been in touch

:33:10. > :33:14.saying "Please stop playing that clip." They say their lives have

:33:15. > :33:19.been ruined by that advert. Paul Hartley, that's P Hartley has got

:33:20. > :33:23.this touch! He said, "Every time he phoned somebody over the last 30

:33:24. > :33:28.years and has been asked his name, he says Paul Hartley and there is a

:33:29. > :33:34.response and they say, "Are you related to JR Hartley?" He says no,

:33:35. > :33:41.I'm not. He just says to people I'm Paul Hartley and before you ask, no,

:33:42. > :33:49.I'm not! You changed Paul's voice. On behalf of the Hartley contingent

:33:50. > :33:59.please stop playing this clip! No! It will be on all day. What about

:34:00. > :34:04.Harty the Hare? Too old for Naga. It has gone way

:34:05. > :34:07.over her head. Sorry about that. I threw that in.

:34:08. > :34:10.So results wise a successful night for the home nations then

:34:11. > :34:30.This was the pick of the goals from Liverpool's Andy Robertson. The win

:34:31. > :34:34.moves Gordon Strachan's side ahead of Slovenia into third place in

:34:35. > :34:43.Group F. Four points off the second placed spot that gets you through to

:34:44. > :34:45.the play-offs. When they say do you think you can

:34:46. > :34:52.win? Yes, we can win. Did I think we would have that

:34:53. > :34:58.many attempts at goals? It was a game where our attack came

:34:59. > :35:02.from different angles, England came away from Malta

:35:03. > :35:06.with a 4-0 win, but perhaps the scoreline was a little

:35:07. > :35:08.flattering with three goals Harry Kane scored twice

:35:09. > :35:12.with Ryan Bertrand and Danny Welbeck Of course, we would like to have

:35:13. > :35:22.scored our goals earlier. If we had scored our goals earlier

:35:23. > :35:25.tonight, it would have helped For me, that is the benefit

:35:26. > :35:28.of having played for England, because I have been involved

:35:29. > :35:31.in nights like this before. I have seen other

:35:32. > :35:33.managers go through it. I have been on the pitch

:35:34. > :35:35.when we haven't scored loads of goals, against teams

:35:36. > :35:37.who are supposedly minnows, Northern Ireland strengthened

:35:38. > :35:45.their grip on second place in their group,

:35:46. > :35:47.thanks to a 3-0 win in San Marino. Josh Magennis scored twice

:35:48. > :35:49.with Southampton's Steven Davis adding another from the penalty

:35:50. > :35:51.spot. Michael O'Neill's side are now seven

:35:52. > :36:00.points clear in second place. Wales may have been surprise

:36:01. > :36:03.semi-finallists at the Euros last year, but they're up against it

:36:04. > :36:07.in their qualification group. They're four points behind

:36:08. > :36:09.the top two - Serbia Chris Coleman's side

:36:10. > :36:12.are are level on points with Austria who they face

:36:13. > :36:21.tonight in Cardiff. I think it will be open. And you

:36:22. > :36:25.know a draw really doesn't thsz doesn't do any of us any good. So

:36:26. > :36:30.something will have to give, you would imagine. But if it is a draw,

:36:31. > :36:34.we have to see what happens elsewhere of course with the other

:36:35. > :36:39.results. This was always going to be a tight group. A tight campaign.

:36:40. > :36:43.Teams are very, very similar. There is three or four teams that are very

:36:44. > :36:49.strong. I have said before I think it will go to the wire.

:36:50. > :36:52.There'll be no British interest in the second week of the US Open

:36:53. > :36:55.after Kyle Edmund was forced to retire in his third round clash

:36:56. > :36:59.The match was evenly poised at a set all with both players

:37:00. > :37:03.But just as the contest was heating up, Edmund called for the physio,

:37:04. > :37:06.He returned to the court briefly, losing the third set,

:37:07. > :37:11.before reluctantly retiring at the start of the fourth.

:37:12. > :37:23.Do you carry on to the end, but you just go through

:37:24. > :37:27.And you don't want to pull out straightaway.

:37:28. > :37:29.You want to see is this going to get better?

:37:30. > :37:31.But ultimately, I thought, I'm not going to win two

:37:32. > :37:38.I knew that I wasn't going to win two more sets feeling like that.

:37:39. > :37:40.Maria Sharapova has made it through to the fourth round

:37:41. > :37:43.in her first Grand Slam event since returning to the game

:37:44. > :37:50.The 2006 champion beat teenage American Sofia Kenin

:37:51. > :37:53.on the main show court so the Arthur Ashe Court where she's

:37:54. > :37:55.plyed all three of her matches, in the tournament so far.

:37:56. > :37:58.And afterwards she hit back at Caroline Wozniacki's complaints,

:37:59. > :37:59.that Sharapova gets favourable treatment when it comes

:38:00. > :38:04.With regards to scheduling, as you know, I don't make

:38:05. > :38:09.the schedule and you know I'm a pretty big competitor

:38:10. > :38:13.and if you put me out in the parking lot of Queen's in New York City I'm

:38:14. > :38:19.All that matters to me is I'm in the fourth round and I'm

:38:20. > :38:26.The domestic rugby union season got off to a pulsating start last night

:38:27. > :38:29.with Gloucester scoring a last minute try to beat defending

:38:30. > :38:35.The game was level at 21-21 and heading for a draw

:38:36. > :38:37.when Gloucester fullback Jason Woodward popped up in the 82nd

:38:38. > :38:40.minute, of the game, to snatch an opening day victory.

:38:41. > :38:42.In the nights other Premiership game, Newcastle beat Worcester 35-8.
