Well, the weekend is looking a little mixed. A nice, bright day to

:01:30.:01:45.

day. Tomorrow, one for the Sunday papers. A lot of grey cloud and some

:01:46.:01:50.

rain on the way as well, but not for everyone.

:01:51.:01:51.

First, our main story: Utility companies could be charged

:01:52.:01:55.

by the hour for digging up busy roads to carry out work

:01:56.:01:58.

on their infrastructure, under plans being put forward

:01:59.:02:00.

Ministers hope the policy would force contractors in England

:02:01.:02:03.

to speed up repairs or carry out work at night, to reduce delays

:02:04.:02:07.

Mile after mile, hour after hour of delays, caused by roadworks. It is

:02:08.:02:20.

thought one in every three of our journeys is held up like this.

:02:21.:02:23.

Around 2.5 million roadworks are carried out every year in England,

:02:24.:02:28.

costing the economy an estimated ?4 billion in lost working hours and

:02:29.:02:32.

delayed deliveries. Utility companies are not responsible for

:02:33.:02:36.

every excavated carriageway or set of traffic lights, but it is hoped

:02:37.:02:41.

this new scheme may persuade them to carry out their work more quickly,

:02:42.:02:45.

or at night, so as to cause less disruption. Under the proposals,

:02:46.:02:48.

councils could charge utility companies up to ?2500 per site to

:02:49.:02:54.

work on roads during the day. When trialled in London back in 2012,

:02:55.:02:59.

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

:03:00.:03:03.

The idea has been cautiously welcomed by the AA and the RAC, but

:03:04.:03:08.

they have warned that these changes mustn't lead to works being rushed

:03:09.:03:13.

or slapdash, simply to hand roads back as soon as possible. The Local

:03:14.:03:16.

Government Association has praised the success of the pilot schemes,

:03:17.:03:20.

and called for other councils to be given the new powers as soon as

:03:21.:03:22.

possible. In around an hour's time,

:03:23.:03:22.

we will be talking to a Government More heavy rain is forecast

:03:23.:03:26.

in South Asia, where this year's monsoon season has left millions

:03:27.:03:33.

of people displaced. It is now believed more

:03:34.:03:35.

than 1,400 people have died. Parts of India's financial centre,

:03:36.:03:38.

Mumbai, are under several Our South Asia correspondent

:03:39.:03:40.

Justin Rowlatt is in the eastern state of Bihar, one

:03:41.:03:45.

of the worst-affected areas. We can talk to him now. Justin, we

:03:46.:03:58.

have seen some absolutely... Pictures of devastation, awful

:03:59.:04:00.

pictures. I can see people are getting behind you, on with their

:04:01.:04:04.

daily lives, but the impact must have been very, very severe. It is

:04:05.:04:10.

incredibly severe. I mean, just in this one state in northern and

:04:11.:04:16.

eastern India, we are talking 17 million people affected, more than

:04:17.:04:20.

500 people killed. And as you say, across the region, 1400 people

:04:21.:04:26.

killed. 41 million people affected. As you can see the rains have

:04:27.:04:30.

stopped here. More rain is forecast but even without the rains it

:04:31.:04:34.

doesn't mean the disaster is over. Obviously there is a huge rebuilding

:04:35.:04:37.

effort needed, homes, schools, roads need to be rebuilt, and then there

:04:38.:04:43.

is the danger of disease. Many people were exposed to the

:04:44.:04:47.

floodwaters for days and there is a real issue with diarrhoea and other

:04:48.:04:52.

waterborne diseases, and that is causing huge problems still across

:04:53.:04:57.

South Asia. Justin, thank you very much. We will be talking to Justin

:04:58.:05:01.

throughout the programme to keep on top of the situation there.

:05:02.:05:02.

President Trump is to visit Texas again today to assess the flood

:05:03.:05:06.

He will fly to Houston, accompanied by the First Lady,

:05:07.:05:10.

where he will meet survivors and volunteers involved

:05:11.:05:12.

A chemical plant near to the city, whose cooling system was damaged

:05:13.:05:16.

by floodwaters, has burst into flames.

:05:17.:05:18.

Our US correspondent Barbara Plett-Usher has been out

:05:19.:05:20.

with the emergency services to assess the damage across Houston.

:05:21.:05:30.

The sheriffs of Houston are still working 12 hour shifts, even though

:05:31.:05:37.

the floodwaters they battled earlier in the week are mostly gone. Like

:05:38.:05:41.

nothing they had ever experienced before, a disaster on a scale rarely

:05:42.:05:45.

seen in the US. The water was over this Bridge right here. They

:05:46.:05:49.

remember the ones they were not able to rescue. Some of them were not

:05:50.:05:54.

able to get out in time for them to get help, and they were basically

:05:55.:05:57.

stuck inside their house. And they are crippled or they can't even get

:05:58.:06:02.

outside of the residents. And they died. -- the residence. The sweep of

:06:03.:06:11.

the storm caught people by surprise. After hitting Houston for as it

:06:12.:06:15.

continued east, keeping emergency crews busy right through the east.

:06:16.:06:19.

In Harvey's wake there is massive disruption. Chemical spills caused

:06:20.:06:25.

by at this plant. There is anxiety about toxins. And in mucky,

:06:26.:06:30.

waterlogged neighbourhoods, now comes the sober reckoning. What can

:06:31.:06:36.

be salvaged, how much is lost, and who will pay the enormous bill? The

:06:37.:06:41.

Trump administration got good marks for it early response to this

:06:42.:06:45.

disaster. Now it will need to show the staying power needed to recover

:06:46.:06:48.

and rebuild. This will be the big test.

:06:49.:06:50.

A former shadow cabinet minister has warned that a significant gap has

:06:51.:06:53.

appeared between attitudes in London and Labour's northern heartlands.

:06:54.:06:55.

Rotherham MP Sarah Champion resigned as shadow women and equalities

:06:56.:06:58.

minister last month over comments she made about the grooming scandal

:06:59.:07:01.

In an interview in the Times today, she accuses her colleagues

:07:02.:07:07.

in the south of being afraid of speaking out on issues such

:07:08.:07:10.

as that, for fear of being branded racist.

:07:11.:07:18.

A grammar school which forced pupils to leave halfway

:07:19.:07:20.

through their course because of their poor results has

:07:21.:07:23.

Parents at St Olave's, in South-East London,

:07:24.:07:27.

began legal action after students who did not get at least a B grade

:07:28.:07:31.

at AS level were told they could not progress to A level.

:07:32.:07:34.

The lawyer representing the families has said the school has

:07:35.:07:37.

changed its mind and will allow the pupils back in.

:07:38.:07:40.

Free solar panels are to be installed on hundreds of thousands

:07:41.:07:43.

of homes across England and Wales over the next five years.

:07:44.:07:46.

The project, which is funded by Dutch investment,

:07:47.:07:48.

is expected to lower household bills and create over 1,000 new jobs.

:07:49.:07:52.

Energy prices have been rising in the past year, with British Gas

:07:53.:08:10.

being the latest provider to announce further hikes. A 12.5%

:08:11.:08:15.

increase to come into effect this month. The big suppliers and

:08:16.:08:22.

government have scolded the reasons behind higher prices. The government

:08:23.:08:25.

is exploring other options to provide value for money for the most

:08:26.:08:28.

vulnerable of households. It is hoping that the British sunshine

:08:29.:08:32.

might help out. Sola has become one of the cheapest sources of energy,

:08:33.:08:35.

and that is why the government thinks that panels like these are

:08:36.:08:39.

the solution to our rising energy bills. These houses in acting, in

:08:40.:08:44.

west London, are some of the first beneficiaries of a new scheme that

:08:45.:08:49.

will see 100,000 social housing properties have solar panels

:08:50.:08:53.

installed in the next 18 months -- Acton. The company behind the

:08:54.:08:57.

scheme, Solar Publicity, say they have found that their tenants save

:08:58.:09:02.

an average of ?240 a year on their energy bills. These residents in

:09:03.:09:08.

Acton are hoping they are right. I think it is a good idea, and

:09:09.:09:12.

especially going to save on bills in the long run, in the long-term we

:09:13.:09:18.

are going to save, I think. So I think it is a very good idea. Ealing

:09:19.:09:22.

Borough Council say that they had planned on covering more homes, but

:09:23.:09:27.

cuts to tariffs and subsidies has meant they simply cannot afford to

:09:28.:09:30.

do so. But the government insists that the falling price of solar now

:09:31.:09:36.

means that the industry does not require help. What we want to see

:09:37.:09:41.

is, and this is actually a good scheme, showing how you don't need

:09:42.:09:44.

to subsidise solar power as much, but still make it highly effective.

:09:45.:09:48.

You know, we are talking here about the potential of 100,000 homes

:09:49.:09:53.

across the country, in the next five years, with a combination of

:09:54.:09:57.

fantastic UK company and investment coming in from abroad, and cheaper

:09:58.:10:01.

deals. Cheaper and greener energy, that is our objective. Expansion of

:10:02.:10:07.

solar is now largely reliant on the business case for it. Councils and

:10:08.:10:11.

households increasingly looking to private investors for encouragement

:10:12.:10:12.

rather than the government. The investigation into the chemical

:10:13.:10:15.

cloud which affected parts of East Sussex last Sunday

:10:16.:10:18.

is looking into the possibility that it may have been caused

:10:19.:10:20.

by emissions from known shipwrecks The beach at Birling Gap,

:10:21.:10:23.

near Eastbourne, was closed The Maritime and Coastguard Agency

:10:24.:10:31.

is now investigating, A mysterious mist which engulfed

head, being evacuated, after people reported having irritated eyes, sore

:10:57.:11:01.

throats and vomiting. I had a bit of a dry chest, and then as we came off

:11:02.:11:06.

the beach, then it really kind of hit, and we were all kind of

:11:07.:11:10.

coughing a little bit. My children were really, really upset, their

:11:11.:11:13.

eyes really painful. Coastguard rescue teams raced to help clear the

:11:14.:11:21.

area, but by the end of Sunday evening, around 150 people had to be

:11:22.:11:25.

treated, with others reporting discomfort. Sussex Police said those

:11:26.:11:30.

who require treatment experienced mostly minor effects. Monitoring

:11:31.:11:36.

equipment was used at the time to try and identify the cause, at the

:11:37.:11:40.

readings were inconclusive. The Maritime and Coastguard Agency now

:11:41.:11:45.

think the gas may have come from one of the many shipwrecks in the

:11:46.:11:50.

English Channel. It is also investigating discharges from

:11:51.:11:54.

passing ships, or lost cargo, as a possible cause.

:11:55.:11:55.

Tennis star Serena Williams has given birth to a baby girl

:11:56.:11:58.

News of the birth came as her sister Venus prepared to go out on court

:11:59.:12:06.

Congratulations have been pouring in from sports

:12:07.:12:09.

So far they include Rafael Nadal and Beyonce.

:12:10.:12:21.

Crowds at the Bournemouth Air Festival have been wowed by one

:12:22.:12:24.

of the world's first aero-pyrotechnic display teams.

:12:25.:12:25.

These are pictures of the Twister duo, who have been putting

:12:26.:12:29.

on a spectacular night flying display.

:12:30.:12:33.

They ducked and dived, illuminating the sky,

:12:34.:12:35.

while thousands of people watched from below.

:12:36.:12:43.

Could have watched those for quite awhile, actually. A few more of

:12:44.:12:50.

those later, I think. Let's look at what is happening on the front

:12:51.:12:54.

pages. Starting with the daily this morning, the picture you are seeing

:12:55.:13:05.

is Tom Hiddleston, at the night manager. Only a few people will see

:13:06.:13:10.

it, because it is in a small theatre, and it has been sold by

:13:11.:13:14.

lottery weeks ago. Only a few tickets were available. If you see

:13:15.:13:19.

it, let's hope he is good. The National trust aiding hunt

:13:20.:13:25.

saboteurs. In a row with countryside campaigners over a decision to

:13:26.:13:31.

publicise details of hunts in the run-up to a vote on its legality.

:13:32.:13:41.

And an interview with Champion explaining the comments she had made

:13:42.:13:48.

about sex gangs in her constituency in Rotherham. She said it was easier

:13:49.:13:52.

for her to speak out as a northern politician than it would be for some

:13:53.:13:56.

southern members, southern English members of her party. She says there

:13:57.:14:00.

is a divide between North and south of the willingness to accept what is

:14:01.:14:07.

going on on the left of her party turning a blind eye to sex crimes.

:14:08.:14:15.

Wayne Rooney Court drink-driving. At 2am, the Daily Mirror is reporting,

:14:16.:14:20.

lots of papers taking a look at who he was with at the time, and

:14:21.:14:26.

speculating on the car he was driving, who it belongs to. That

:14:27.:14:32.

also on the front page of the Sun and the Daily Express has a picture

:14:33.:14:35.

of him after being arrested. Their main story is BP breakthrough. We

:14:36.:14:41.

talk about tablets, but there is a cream apparently that if you rub

:14:42.:14:44.

into the skin could help people who suffer from high blood pressure. It

:14:45.:14:49.

boost the level of magnesium in the blood. That is what British

:14:50.:14:54.

scientists have found. The Daily Mail have what they say is a special

:14:55.:14:58.

investigation, the March of the bin snoopers. Dustmen collecting secrets

:14:59.:15:04.

on the contents of your wheelie bin, your rubbish crimes, it says. 7

:15:05.:15:09.

million households in the details of what we throw away and what we

:15:10.:15:13.

should be putting in different bins, food waste, other waste, all of that

:15:14.:15:19.

being collected, sometimes on CCTV. So they are not actually rifling

:15:20.:15:22.

through our bins to snoop on us, they are rifling through our bins to

:15:23.:15:26.

check we are putting the recycling. And they are keeping a note of what

:15:27.:15:30.

we put in which bin, so you have been warned.

:15:31.:15:36.

Millions of people have been left homeless across South Asia as a

:15:37.:15:42.

heavy flooding hits the region. Utility companies could soon be

:15:43.:15:44.

charged by-the-hour for digging up The government believes the policy

:15:45.:15:46.

would force contractors Here's Tomasz with a look

:15:47.:15:50.

at this morning's weather. I was trying to get Carol earlier

:15:51.:16:01.

this week and then mapped to push away this band of rain. They

:16:02.:16:06.

couldn't do it, I don't know if Tom can. Good morning. I will try my

:16:07.:16:14.

best. I don't know if I can. I will show you a picture of where it is

:16:15.:16:19.

right now that I can tell you that most of us today will have a fine

:16:20.:16:23.

day and lots of nice bright weather on the way a light wind, singing

:16:24.:16:26.

birds, to bridge quite pleasant. This is what we're talking about,

:16:27.:16:33.

this lump of cloud that I am trying to push out of the way. I don't

:16:34.:16:37.

think I can, it is Mother Nature. It comes away and the advice is that if

:16:38.:16:44.

you have any outdoor plants, make the most of them. It will hit

:16:45.:16:49.

Ireland during the course of this afternoon. It is fired at four

:16:50.:16:55.

o'clock that there are clouds pushing in over in the far west of

:16:56.:16:59.

Northern Ireland but for the vast majority of the UK a fine day, and

:17:00.:17:06.

temperatures around 19 degrees. There is a chance that East Anglia

:17:07.:17:11.

in the south-east could pick up a cloud with a shower, a brief shower,

:17:12.:17:15.

that should get out of the way. That is the minority. Find this evening

:17:16.:17:19.

and then this is it coming through. It is not able all of water, it is

:17:20.:17:25.

rain coming through. By the end of the night you can see it in the

:17:26.:17:29.

south-west of Wales, moving through Northern Ireland. This band of rain

:17:30.:17:34.

here will be slowly moving towards the east during the course of

:17:35.:17:39.

Sunday. It is not rushing, it moves slowly. The heaviest rain will fall

:17:40.:17:44.

where most of us do not live, in the hills and mountains, but for most

:17:45.:17:48.

towns and cities it will be overcast and drizzly. One of these days where

:17:49.:17:54.

there is some rain and it is cloudy. The Far east here, talking Norwich,

:17:55.:18:00.

it may not actually get rain until the evening and even if it does

:18:01.:18:08.

reach, it will be light. Summarise that, Saturday is the best day and

:18:09.:18:11.

then there is rain on the way for Sunday. That is the best I can do.

:18:12.:18:16.

That is brilliant. I knew you could do it. That band of rain or was

:18:17.:18:23.

thick yesterday and the day before that and now it has turned into

:18:24.:18:30.

scattered showers. Magic. Another 3.5 hours, and you will have it

:18:31.:18:34.

solved. 18 minutes past six. Time now for The Film Review.

:18:35.:18:57.

Hello and welcome to The Film Review on BBC News. To take us through this

:18:58.:19:06.

week's releases is James King. What have you watched this week? Murder

:19:07.:19:10.

in the east end in Victorian thriller the Limehouse Golem. A New

:19:11.:19:18.

Jersey girl thinks she is the unlikely saviour of hip-hop in patty

:19:19.:19:23.

cakes and he said he will be back and now he is an old returns in the

:19:24.:19:31.

3-D rerelease of Terminator two. He did warn us. We will start with Lion

:19:32.:19:42.

House Golem. Bill Nighy, always a big draw this is set in Victorian

:19:43.:19:46.

nearer London in the dank back streets and music halls of the East

:19:47.:19:50.

End. A thriller about a murder on the loose. Let's have a look at bill

:19:51.:20:04.

in action the brilliant Daniel Mays. What are you looking for? I am just

:20:05.:20:10.

looking. Trying to understand. The goal is a madman. Even madness has

:20:11.:20:15.

logic. At Ratcliffe Highway he's lauded a highway. Prior to that, a

:20:16.:20:22.

prostitute. Before that, an old man, a scholar. Oh, my God. He laid upon

:20:23.:20:35.

the open pages of a book on Jewish folklore. Like a book market. The of

:20:36.:20:40.

the Golem. Is out how the Prescott the name? Our murderer approved. I

:20:41.:20:47.

remember reading that one. Her name was Jane Quigg. I am a big fan of

:20:48.:20:57.

Daniel as well. Is over the top? I have read many things that say it is

:20:58.:21:03.

that can sometimes a good thing. Gothic horror, isn't it? I find it

:21:04.:21:08.

gripping. It is glory in parts but not overly so. It is a thriller

:21:09.:21:13.

rather than a horror film. For me it was all about the cast. We saw

:21:14.:21:22.

Daniel Mays and Bill Nighy. I would watch them in anything. A strong

:21:23.:21:29.

cast. What is going on in this film is an undercurrent to that murder

:21:30.:21:33.

story, too that's real element it is a film about performance and about

:21:34.:21:39.

how performance was so important at this time in music halls but also

:21:40.:21:43.

just two people in their everyday life. There are people in this movie

:21:44.:21:49.

who put on a mask every day and play a role. And then there is the goal

:21:50.:21:53.

himself who was a walk to perform who wants recognition. When you have

:21:54.:21:59.

that undercurrent running through the movie, that obviously gives the

:22:00.:22:03.

cast something juicy to sink their teeth into. And the music all is

:22:04.:22:07.

well. It is a seductive world. Reminded me of tipping the Velvet.

:22:08.:22:13.

Very rich and seductive. That is a great thing to watch at the movies

:22:14.:22:20.

as well. Jane Goldman adapted the book that this was originally and

:22:21.:22:24.

she has done a good job. There is a lot of plot going on and she has

:22:25.:22:30.

done a good job of streamlining it, drip feeding information, pennies

:22:31.:22:35.

drop just the right moment. I a big fan. How about patty cakes it sure

:22:36.:22:44.

would add Sundance and you get independent films from their

:22:45.:22:48.

crossing over into the mainstream. Fox would love this to be a

:22:49.:22:53.

crossover hit. It is about a girl from New Jersey, patty, who leads a

:22:54.:22:59.

downbeat life. She dreams of making it big in hip-hop. Daniel McDonald,

:23:00.:23:06.

there she is, an Australian, a relative newcomer. The problem is

:23:07.:23:12.

that it is very funny and charming but it does not quite know what it

:23:13.:23:17.

wants to be. Sometimes it is quite kitsch and camp, reminding me of

:23:18.:23:24.

Hairspray. A great film. Quite over the top. Sometimes this film then

:23:25.:23:29.

gets serious and wants to make a political and social point and it

:23:30.:23:35.

goes sort of eight Mile from. The problem is that it is six of one and

:23:36.:23:39.

half a dozen of the other. Having said that, the music is great and it

:23:40.:23:45.

is subversive, an overweight white girl in the world of hip-hop which

:23:46.:23:48.

is traditionally far more glamorous and macho. I'm just not certain

:23:49.:23:56.

whether or not it knows if it is a full on comedy or full on

:23:57.:24:01.

seriousness. It is an unsettled mix of the two. Shears... So she is a

:24:02.:24:06.

good performer, quite charismatic. Look out for her. I said we were

:24:07.:24:12.

going to save the best till last. Terminator two, so good they have

:24:13.:24:18.

brought it back decades later. 26 years later in 3-D. Some would say

:24:19.:24:25.

that Arnold Schwarzenegger's acting was barely in 2-dimensional, later

:24:26.:24:33.

let alone three, and now James Cameron, of these 3-D success with

:24:34.:24:37.

Titanic, has gotten the same team to do the same thing with Terminator

:24:38.:24:41.

two. Let's have a look at a classic scene. Keep it under 65. We do not

:24:42.:24:52.

want to be pulled over. affirmative. now. You have to listen to the way

:24:53.:25:00.

people talk. You do not say affirmative. You say no problem. And

:25:01.:25:07.

if someone comes up to you with an attitude, you say eat meat. And if

:25:08.:25:16.

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

:25:17.:25:25.

could say chill out. Chill out. I had almost forgotten that phrase but

:25:26.:25:31.

now it is back to haunt us all. Is a point to this? I appreciate you say

:25:32.:25:36.

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

:25:37.:25:43.

this when it first came out on the big scene, sorry, I did not see it,

:25:44.:25:49.

so seeing it on the big screen is amazing because it is this movie of

:25:50.:25:53.

awesome set pieces and action scenes. There are some bad. Sarah

:25:54.:26:03.

Konta, the Linda Hamilton character, is one of the great action heroes of

:26:04.:26:07.

all-time. It is wonderful seeing her on the big screen. Seeing it as big

:26:08.:26:12.

as you can, perhaps you have never seen it on the big screen, this is a

:26:13.:26:17.

great opportunity to catch up. It is old but it still works. Some special

:26:18.:26:22.

effects still look creepy, James Cameron admits that, but it is so

:26:23.:26:26.

gutsy with such power and bravado that it still packs a punch. And you

:26:27.:26:32.

may be very young and not even born when this was first released. Maybe

:26:33.:26:36.

there is a whole new audience. Or will they look and think it is all a

:26:37.:26:42.

bit dated? In 1991 this was the most expensive film of all-time. Even

:26:43.:26:46.

though it is old now it still holds up because they put so much into it

:26:47.:26:52.

when it first came out. It is worth looking up if you have never seen it

:26:53.:26:57.

before. yes. You do forget how much it cost at the time. The best out?

:26:58.:27:04.

Detroit. A difficult movie to watch, based on true events in Detroit 50

:27:05.:27:09.

years ago, the fateful events of one night in the city. It is doing OK

:27:10.:27:14.

business in the UK at the moment but I would like to see it do better.

:27:15.:27:20.

Perhaps we have had a feel of intensity with Dunkirk and people

:27:21.:27:25.

can not handle another intense story. It is worth seeing. Look out

:27:26.:27:35.

for the great acts and the director, Kathryn Bigelow, she was married to

:27:36.:27:39.

James Cameron when he made Terminator. And DVD, something to

:27:40.:27:49.

lift us? If you do not want something dark and bleak, something

:27:50.:27:55.

funny and silly? This is mind won. An out of work actor who was big in

:27:56.:28:03.

the 1980s but has been down on his luck ever since. Then he gets a call

:28:04.:28:07.

from the police saying that there is a criminal on the loose obsessed

:28:08.:28:12.

with the old TV show and they need him to get back into character to

:28:13.:28:15.

help them solve the crime. That is what he does. From funny gags in

:28:16.:28:23.

this about acting and TV detectives, plenty of jokes about the Isle of

:28:24.:28:30.

Man. Done with affection. Julian Barrett stars in a salute does Steve

:28:31.:28:40.

Coogan. Julian Barrett stars in it. Even though you laugh, it is done

:28:41.:28:48.

with affection and respect for the genres it is making fun of. I know

:28:49.:28:52.

some people felt it was almost its series of TV sketches sewn together.

:28:53.:28:58.

And stay for the end of. The end credits are a joy. That is a good

:28:59.:29:05.

tip. Excellent. Thank you very much, lovely to see you again. James King

:29:06.:29:11.

there with all of your pointers as to what you might like to see this

:29:12.:29:16.

week. That is it for this week. Thank you for being with us and

:29:17.:29:19.

enjoy whatever you may see over the next few days.

:29:20.:29:52.

Hello, this is Breakfast with Jon Kay and Naga Munchetty.

:29:53.:29:55.

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

:29:56.:29:58.

But first, at 6:30am, a summary of this morning's main

:29:59.:30:00.

More heavy rain forecast in South Asia, where this year's monsoon

:30:01.:30:20.

season has left millions of people displaced. It is believed 1400

:30:21.:30:28.

people have died. Parts of Mumbai are under several feet of water.

:30:29.:30:30.

President Trump is to visit Texas again today to assess the flood

:30:31.:30:33.

He will fly to Houston, where he will meet survivors

:30:34.:30:38.

and volunteers involved in the relief effort.

:30:39.:30:39.

A chemical plant near the city has exploded after its cooling system

:30:40.:30:43.

Utility companies could be charged by the hour for digging up busy

:30:44.:30:47.

roads in England, under plans being put forward by the Government.

:30:48.:30:50.

Ministers hope the policy would force contractors to speed up

:30:51.:30:53.

repairs or carry out work at night to reduce delays.

:30:54.:30:56.

Trials in London and Kent have indicated that firms avoided working

:30:57.:30:59.

The investigation into the chemical cloud which affected parts

:31:00.:31:04.

of East Sussex last Sunday is looking into the possibility

:31:05.:31:07.

that it may have been caused by emissions from known shipwrecks

:31:08.:31:10.

The beach at Birling Gap, near Eastbourne, was closed

:31:11.:31:24.

Around 150 people had to be treated, with others reporting discomfort.

:31:25.:31:28.

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency is now investigating.

:31:29.:31:31.

Tennis star Serena Williams has given birth to a baby girl

:31:32.:31:33.

News of the birth came as her sister Venus prepared to go out on court

:31:34.:31:41.

Congratulations have been pouring in from sports stars

:31:42.:31:44.

and celebrities, including Beyonce and Rafa Nadal.

:31:45.:31:47.

The Yellow Pages telephone directory will be printed for the last

:31:48.:31:49.

I don't suppose you have a copy of Flyfishing by JR Hartley.

:31:50.:32:08.

I remember actually looking for a copy. Of the Yellow Pages? No,

:32:09.:32:16.

Flyfishing by JR Hartley. Well-known for its 1980s advertising

:32:17.:32:20.

campaign featuring the fictional author JR Hartley, who managed

:32:21.:32:22.

to find an out-of-print book, the Yellow Pages has been

:32:23.:32:25.

in production for 51 years. Its owner, Yell, says it

:32:26.:32:28.

will continue online. The last of the books will be

:32:29.:32:30.

delivered in Brighton, the same place the first edition

:32:31.:32:33.

was distributed in 1966. Everyone loved him, didn't they? Let

:32:34.:32:51.

your fingers do the walking, was it? And it was a huge book. I was a bit

:32:52.:32:58.

vertically challenged at times, used to... To stack? To reach shelves and

:32:59.:33:08.

things. It had so many uses. Love the smell, as well. There is a

:33:09.:33:14.

generation... There is a generation which has absolutely no clue what we

:33:15.:33:26.

are talking about. Anyway. That was a nice moment of nostalgia. Now

:33:27.:33:31.

what? England saved themselves with a late flurry of goals. Well done to

:33:32.:33:36.

Scotland, they still have work to do but they are back on track to try

:33:37.:33:40.

and beat Russia next year. And Northern Ireland are in the

:33:41.:33:41.

play-offs, going really well. It was a successful night

:33:42.:33:42.

for the Home Nations, Northern Ireland are on the verge

:33:43.:33:45.

of the play-offs, after winning 3-0 And, as James Burford explains,

:33:46.:33:51.

Scotland's 3-0 win in Lithuania has given them hope again that they can

:33:52.:33:55.

reach next summer's World Cup. Where there's a will, there's a way,

:33:56.:33:59.

and Gordon Strachan's sons of Scotland certainly showed the way

:34:00.:34:02.

to Russia 2018 isn't over yet. A win was all that would do,

:34:03.:34:06.

and a winning performance was what the players

:34:07.:34:09.

delivered from the get go. Stuart Armstrong strong-armed his

:34:10.:34:12.

way to the scoresheet, But it got better -

:34:13.:34:14.

Liverpool's new man, Andy Robertson, showing why

:34:15.:34:17.

some are calling him Scotland's Gareth Bale,

:34:18.:34:20.

Strachan clearly impressed. Two goals to the good,

:34:21.:34:23.

how about a third? Three points in the bag,

:34:24.:34:26.

three goals, too. James McArthur following up some

:34:27.:34:28.

quick thinking with his In Malta, England faced 30-degree

:34:29.:34:31.

temperatures and a resilient defence, one that eventually wilted

:34:32.:34:42.

when Dele Alli found Harry Kane. Ryan Bertrand's first international

:34:43.:34:56.

strike came from a full 30 yards out, before Danny Welbeck made

:34:57.:34:58.

a goalscoring return There was even time for Kane to get

:34:59.:35:01.

in on the act again, three goals in the last six

:35:02.:35:05.

minutes perhaps flattering Northern Ireland's grip on second

:35:06.:35:08.

place in their group A dominant performance

:35:09.:35:11.

in San Marino, where Josh Magennis was the star of the show,

:35:12.:35:14.

scoring not once but twice, to help them go seven points clear

:35:15.:35:17.

of the next-closest side. Another from the penalty spot

:35:18.:35:20.

from captain Steven Davis put the seal on a fantastic night

:35:21.:35:23.

for the Home Nations. When we say on one day, do you think

:35:24.:35:39.

we can win? Yes, I think we can win. Do you think you are improving? Yes,

:35:40.:35:46.

I think we are improving. Did I think we would have that many

:35:47.:35:50.

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

:35:51.:35:53.

attack came from different angles, which was good for us as well. Of

:35:54.:35:57.

course, we would like to have scored our goals earlier. If we had scored

:35:58.:36:01.

our goals earlier tonight it would have helped things different. For me

:36:02.:36:05.

that is the benefit of having played for England. Because I have been

:36:06.:36:08.

involved in nights like this before. I have seen other managers go

:36:09.:36:12.

through it. I have been on the pitch when we haven't scored loads of

:36:13.:36:15.

goals against teams who are supposedly knows because they are so

:36:16.:36:19.

well organised. So it goes with the territory.

:36:20.:36:22.

In the past hour, Maria Sharapova, has made her way through to

:36:23.:36:26.

the fourth round of the US Open, with a straight-sets win over Sofia

:36:27.:36:29.

But there will be no British interest in the second week

:36:30.:36:35.

at Flushing Meadows, after Kyle Edmund was forced

:36:36.:36:37.

to retire in his third-round clash with Denis Shapovalov.

:36:38.:36:40.

The match was evenly poised at a set all,

:36:41.:36:42.

with both players getting into the rhythm.

:36:43.:36:44.

But just as the contest was heating up, Edmund called for the physio,

:36:45.:36:47.

He returned to the court briefly, losing the third set,

:36:48.:36:51.

before reluctantly retiring at the start of the fourth.

:36:52.:36:59.

We just feel a bit helpless, really. What can I do, you know? Do you

:37:00.:37:08.

carry on to the end, but you just go through the motions, in a sorry

:37:09.:37:13.

state, and you don't want a pull-out straightaway, you want to see is

:37:14.:37:16.

going to get better? But ultimately I thought I am not going to win two

:37:17.:37:21.

more sets like this. You know, I was... I knew that I wasn't going to

:37:22.:37:23.

win two more sets feeling like that. The domestic rugby union season got

:37:24.:37:25.

off to a pulsating start last night, with Gloucester scoring

:37:26.:37:28.

a last-minute try to beat defending The game was level at 21-21,

:37:29.:37:31.

and heading for a draw, when Gloucester full-back

:37:32.:37:35.

Jason Woodward popped up in the 82nd minute of the game to snatch

:37:36.:37:38.

an opening-day victory. In the night's other Premiership

:37:39.:37:40.

game, Newcastle beat Worcester 35-8. The expanded Pro14 also got

:37:41.:37:51.

under way last night, and it was an impressive

:37:52.:37:53.

start for Ulster. They beat League debutants

:37:54.:37:55.

the South African side the Cheetahs, 42-19, All Black Charles Piutau

:37:56.:37:58.

scoring one of Ulster's six tries. There were also wins

:37:59.:38:01.

for Edinburgh and Munster. Wigan returned to winning ways,

:38:02.:38:07.

after their Challenge Cup final defeat, with a 26-16 win over

:38:08.:38:09.

St Helens in the Super Eights. Anthony Gelling scored one

:38:10.:38:12.

of their four tries, as they close the gap

on third-placed Hull Elsewhere, Castleford

:38:36.:38:37.

the One-Day Cup this season, and face Hampshire in one

of today's T20 semi-finals. The winners will then meet either

:38:42.:38:43.

home side Birmingham or Glamorgan, the county, who are making

:38:44.:38:46.

their first appearance After winning the quarterfinal at

:38:47.:38:54.

home, you know, last week, just seeing the smiles on people's faces,

:38:55.:38:59.

and sort of the levels of joy that were around amongst our team and our

:39:00.:39:03.

squad, and then the fans as well, and just a good buzz around cricket

:39:04.:39:09.

in Wales. So I think that will be absolutely fantastic. I know the

:39:10.:39:12.

guys will be having a good crack at it. We are in a great space as a

:39:13.:39:17.

squad, and I am sure we have a great chance.

:39:18.:39:23.

Western Storm are women's T20 champions after beating

:39:24.:39:25.

Some big hitting from Rachel Priest and Stafanie Taylor,

:39:26.:39:30.

guided them home with two overs to spare.

:39:31.:39:32.

After the game, the Vipers' and former England captain

:39:33.:39:40.

Charlotte Edwards announced her retirement from cricket.

:39:41.:39:41.

Edwards is England's most-capped female player.

:39:42.:39:43.

She stepped away from international cricket last year, after a career

Mercedes are setting the pace in Monza, ahead

:39:47.:39:52.

of the Italian Grand Prix this weekend.

:39:53.:39:55.

Valterri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton were quickest in practise yesterday.

:39:56.:39:57.

Bottas topped the second session, following Hamilton, who was just

:39:58.:40:00.

Hamilton's title rival Sebastian Vettel wasn't too far

:40:01.:40:04.

Final practise and qualifying get under way later this morning.

:40:05.:40:08.

Later we will have more on the build-up to Wales - Austria in World

:40:09.:40:20.

Cup qualifying. You can play it professionally?

:40:21.:40:23.

A nurse at a hospital in Utah has said she was assaulted by police

:40:24.:40:29.

after refusing to give officers a blood sample from one of her

:40:30.:40:34.

patients. The city's mayor has apologised, saying the officer's

:40:35.:40:36.

behaviour was completely unacceptable.

:40:37.:40:40.

The University of Utah Hospital, in Salt Lake City. A nurse, Alex, is

:40:41.:40:49.

talking to police officers. They want a sample of blood from one of

:40:50.:40:53.

her patients. The driver of a lorry who was badly burnt in a crash and

:40:54.:40:59.

is now in a coma. He is not under arrest, he can't give consent, and

:41:00.:41:03.

the police don't have a warrant. So the nurse says they can't have the

:41:04.:41:10.

sample. I am just trying to do what I am supposed to do, that's all.

:41:11.:41:21.

He grabs hold of the nurse and takes her into custody.

:41:22.:41:30.

The only job I have as a nurse is to keep my patients safe.

:41:31.:41:35.

A blood draw is not - it just gets thrown around like it's

:41:36.:41:38.

But blood is your blood, that's your property.

:41:39.:41:42.

Now, the city's Mayor has waded in, saying the incident was completely

:41:43.:41:45.

unacceptable, and that she has personally apologised.

:41:46.:41:47.

The city's chief of police was similarly contrite.

:41:48.:41:51.

I am sad at the rift this has caused between law enforcement

:41:52.:41:55.

and the nurses we work so closely with.

:41:56.:41:57.

It is reported that the officer involved has now been stopped

:41:58.:42:01.

from collecting blood, but was otherwise not

:42:02.:42:03.

The University of Utah issued a statement praising the nurse

:42:04.:42:12.

for her decision to focus on the care

:42:13.:42:14.

That story is getting an awful lot of traction on social media.

:42:15.:42:28.

Remarkable. With the outcome of the Brexit negotiations being uncertain,

:42:29.:42:31.

some financial institutions based in the UK are establishing outpost on

:42:32.:42:35.

what we used to call the continent to help manage any possible

:42:36.:42:37.

disruption. Amsterdam, home of the world's

:42:38.:42:52.

oldest stock exchange, mounting a new challenge to post Brexit London.

:42:53.:42:58.

I think it is very young, the cost of living is very good compared to

:42:59.:43:02.

in London. And also, being part of the continent. After the Brexit

:43:03.:43:08.

outcome, we see companies moving to Amsterdam, especially the more tech

:43:09.:43:12.

savvy companies, which need a European passport. The passport

:43:13.:43:17.

means companies in the UK can service customers in Europe. That

:43:18.:43:20.

may not be possible after the UK leads, which is why this company is

:43:21.:43:26.

setting up shop in Amsterdam. Europe represents about half of our

:43:27.:43:33.

business in 2017. So as there is no clarity, yet, of course, on the

:43:34.:43:36.

outcome of the negotiations, we need to be able to be prepared for

:43:37.:43:41.

multiple different outcomes. Hence we choose Amsterdam. So what awaits

:43:42.:43:45.

those looking for a new European home? So welcome. Thank you. Hard to

:43:46.:43:56.

pronounce but easier to afford. The cost of living and working in

:43:57.:44:01.

Amsterdam is half that of London. Nice view of the canals. You can

:44:02.:44:06.

cycle to work or even fly back to the UK in under an hour. Now, you

:44:07.:44:11.

may be thinking who cares if a few bankers leave the UK? Well, apart

:44:12.:44:15.

from the job than the tax revenue they bring in, doing business under

:44:16.:44:19.

one roof, the one roof that is London, is very efficient. If you

:44:20.:44:22.

splinter all that business is through the capitals of Europe, it

:44:23.:44:26.

becomes much less efficient, and that increases the cost of banks,

:44:27.:44:30.

and insurance companies, and they pass that on to their customers, and

:44:31.:44:34.

that means you and me. The Chancellor would certainly care. He

:44:35.:44:38.

collected ?70 billion in taxes from financial services last year. That

:44:39.:44:43.

is 12% of all taxes paid. It helps explain why the French prime

:44:44.:44:47.

minister did not mince his words to me earlier this year. Do you have a

:44:48.:44:56.

message for London? Come to Paris! But, in Amsterdam, typically, they

:44:57.:45:02.

have a more laid-back approach. We haven't done any aggressive

:45:03.:45:04.

campaigning. First of all because I don't believe that companies are

:45:05.:45:08.

persuaded by just an aggressive campaign, and secondly because

:45:09.:45:11.

London is our partner city. And I think a strong London is good for

:45:12.:45:16.

Amsterdam, and vice-versa. Aggressive, no. But they are

considering loosening a bonus cap and adding 1500 international school

:45:22.:45:26.

places. In the post- Brexit beauty parade, this city means business.

:45:27.:45:35.

You could understand why people would want to live their. It is a

:45:36.:45:41.

stunning. The race is on. Let's have a look now at the way that. What is

:45:42.:45:44.

happening? Good morning. It looks weather front with the cloud in the

:45:45.:46:22.

rain of right over us, toppling over during the night, over us tomorrow.

:46:23.:46:27.

But not tomorrow. Hira the temperatures at four p.m., you can

:46:28.:46:33.

see temperatures there are, Cardiff about the same. 18, 19 degrees

:46:34.:46:40.

across the country, basically. London always a little warmer,

:46:41.:46:44.

probably reaching 20 or 21. If you are unlucky, Kent, Sussex, Essex,

:46:45.:46:50.

there could be a cloud with a shower to it that is pretty much it. And

:46:51.:46:54.

now here comes the rain. Most of the, it will not be heavy, many of

:46:55.:46:59.

us have a dry night tonight so if you leave your washing outage should

:47:00.:47:04.

be fine if you live in the of the UK. Tomorrow the weather front piles

:47:05.:47:07.

grew but it will be slow-moving. It will claw its way like that. Like

:47:08.:47:15.

this towards the east the big eastern areas tomorrow, anywhere

:47:16.:47:20.

from about Newcastle may stay dry through most of the afternoon

:47:21.:47:24.

whereas western areas have a lot of cloud and bits and pieces of rain,

:47:25.:47:29.

hill fog on the drizzle, that sort of Sunday afternoon. Not too windy.

:47:30.:47:38.

Through the course of Sunday evening, some mucky weather will

:47:39.:47:41.

push on a little further towards the east. Let's summarise that. A sunny

:47:42.:47:44.

Saturday today and then tomorrow some of us, eventually all of us,

:47:45.:47:48.

will get a little rain. Not too bad at all. Thank you very much. 647 and

:47:49.:47:54.

we will be back with the headlines at the top of the hour. But first it

:47:55.:47:57.

is time for Click. Believe it or not, modern nursing

:47:58.:48:16.

as we know it only dates back to the 1800s, to the time

:48:17.:48:20.

of Florence Nightingale The Royal College of Nursing,

:48:21.:48:23.

here in London, is now For all the life-saving

:48:24.:48:28.

technology that we've seen, the actual act of nursing itself

:48:29.:48:34.

is one relationship that so far has And in the UK, a quarter

:48:35.:48:38.

will be over 65 by 2045. This all means that the pressures

:48:39.:48:54.

on nursing are increasing, and looking after elderly people

:48:55.:48:56.

is becoming a pressing issue Kat Hawkins travelled to Helsinki,

:48:57.:49:04.

in Finland, to discover whether one of these could become

:49:05.:49:09.

the new one of these. I'm here in Helsinki,

:49:10.:49:12.

visiting the home of Marja Roth She is an ex-air hostess,

:49:13.:49:19.

who likes to keep active But, after a skiing accident a few

:49:20.:49:34.

years ago, she developed epilepsy. I was unconscious for a little

:49:35.:49:44.

while, then got up and skied, Her epilepsy means she needs daily

:49:45.:49:49.

medication and that her family, who live in New York,

:49:50.:49:54.

want to make sure she's OK. They get this reassurance

:49:55.:49:59.

from her daily nursing visit, Do you think that this

:50:00.:50:04.

is as good as a nursing visit? It's better because they see,

:50:05.:50:09.

actually physical, see me, and then I don't have to wait

:50:10.:50:11.

for somebody to come. They want to check basically that

:50:12.:50:14.

I - ask if I took my pill, and... Face, actually, to see the picture,

:50:15.:50:18.

to see that I'm OK. At the other end of the line

:50:19.:50:26.

is Tuomo Kuivamaki. He is one of the nurses

:50:27.:50:29.

here in Helsinki's first Here, teams of trained nurses each

:50:30.:50:31.

make up to 50 video calls per day to people around the city

:50:32.:50:37.

who need support. So you've still got that

:50:38.:50:40.

kind of real human... And especially some of the older

:50:41.:50:43.

customers, that's like a highlight of the day for them,

:50:44.:50:48.

to have sort of a small chat The hope is that this will cut down

:50:49.:50:52.

on the number of home visits that nurses have to do to people

:50:53.:50:58.

who don't need physical support, freeing up more time

:50:59.:51:01.

for those that do. The software itself,

:51:02.:51:03.

called Video Visit, works much So, while the tech isn't that new,

:51:04.:51:06.

Helsinki is unique in how wisely the government is using it,

:51:07.:51:11.

and that can mean big An in-person nursing visit can

:51:12.:51:14.

cost around 40 euros, but this new type of checkup

:51:15.:51:20.

costs as little as five. And what really comes across,

:51:21.:51:25.

watching this call, is that they do And it just shows that

:51:26.:51:28.

that nursing element, that real human connection,

:51:29.:51:33.

is still there, even though it's People do hesitate at technology,

:51:34.:51:36.

and especially in nursing. We are actually taking

:51:37.:51:42.

care of people. It's scary that the robots

:51:43.:51:46.

are coming and taking our jobs. Actually, the robots

:51:47.:51:50.

are in here already, but they are easing our job,

:51:51.:51:53.

and actually giving us the freedom to focus on people who actually

:51:54.:51:57.

need our physical help. Now, medical technologies,

:51:58.:52:01.

of course, are improving One example is the use

:52:02.:52:05.

of wearable technology Now, this can be transformative

:52:06.:52:10.

for people with conditions like facial palsy, Parkinson's

:52:11.:52:15.

and autism, allowing them to control devices remotely, or even

:52:16.:52:18.

just smile naturally. My name is Bethan Robertson-Smith,

:52:19.:52:28.

and I'm doing my daily routine. It's a series of exercises to flex

:52:29.:52:33.

the muscles in my face. In 2008, when I was at university

:52:34.:52:37.

studying to be a veterinary nurse, I had a fractured skull,

:52:38.:52:41.

an acquired brain injury, and I was left with facial palsy,

:52:42.:52:49.

also known as facial paralysis. It meant that every one of the 40

:52:50.:52:52.

muscles that gave expression Years later, I had an operation

:52:53.:53:00.

that allowed me to smile like a Mona Lisa, using just two

:53:01.:53:08.

of the chewing muscles that It's very hard to know exactly

:53:09.:53:12.

what muscles I need to move I came down to Brighton today to try

:53:13.:53:16.

out a new piece of technology that's going to help people like myself,

:53:17.:53:24.

who have got facial palsy. One of the surgeons who operated

:53:25.:53:29.

on me is part of a team of experts developing technologies with sensors

:53:30.:53:33.

to read the muscle activities So, when you were first diagnosed,

:53:34.:53:35.

you had an examination called the needle EMG, where the needle

:53:36.:53:44.

is put into the skin, into the muscles, to read

:53:45.:53:47.

the tiny electrical signals With this technology,

:53:48.:53:50.

what we're using is these sensors So the same kind of reading,

:53:51.:53:54.

but without the pain, You have some degree of crossover

:53:55.:53:58.

between the muscles, and that's why you need the machine

:53:59.:54:03.

learning and the artificial intelligence, to interpret

:54:04.:54:06.

which muscle is activating. I'm Sarah Healey, and 30 years ago,

:54:07.:54:08.

I had a brain tumour. Try to raise both

:54:09.:54:12.

eyebrows symmetrically. The operation to take it out left me

:54:13.:54:17.

with paralysis on the right-hand I am certainly not alone,

:54:18.:54:25.

as there are about 100,000 people in the UK who have had facial

:54:26.:54:31.

paralysis for years. So each one of these dots

:54:32.:54:37.

represents the position And so, for example,

:54:38.:54:39.

if you were to try and do And the darker the red,

:54:40.:54:45.

the bigger the signal. So because my left side

:54:46.:54:53.

is better and stronger... ..it's showing up as

:54:54.:54:55.

stronger on the screen. This is great because for the first

:54:56.:54:58.

time, I'm getting accurate information about what is

:54:59.:55:02.

going on with my face. I tend to overwork this side

:55:03.:55:06.

of my face, so this really is giving me feedback that I have

:55:07.:55:09.

to dampen down the movements I don't want, and this is just

:55:10.:55:15.

so good at doing that. I sort of try and practise

:55:16.:55:18.

in front of a mirror. It's not quite as subtle

:55:19.:55:22.

as this, is it? And also, I'm not that keen

:55:23.:55:24.

on looking in mirrors, This headset takes all

:55:25.:55:27.

the information from sensors, just like in the goggles,

:55:28.:55:35.

but now translates it into real-time Yeah, so I'm trying really hard

:55:36.:55:38.

to make her do a full smile... Doing it to a mirror,

:55:39.:55:46.

you kind of tell yourself Whereas she is like, oh, no,

:55:47.:55:55.

that's not what it looks like. It might sound strange to say,

:55:56.:56:00.

but for the first time since my accident, I'm able to see

:56:01.:56:03.

what my smile actually looks like. Not to make it sound like,

:56:04.:56:07.

I dunno, a strange way, but you're kind of doing

:56:08.:56:12.

it with somebody else. My biggest aim for this

:56:13.:56:14.

would be to be able to help That's been one of my aims

:56:15.:56:21.

for the last 30 years. Have you heard the one

:56:22.:56:33.

about the alien who walks Now, as impressive as this

:56:34.:56:42.

bizarre setup looks, these motion-capture suits

:56:43.:56:55.

and stages are actually the standard way that Industrial Light Magic

:56:56.:56:58.

uses actors to give realistic movements to computer-generated

:56:59.:57:01.

principal characters. I mean, he's a nice

:57:02.:57:02.

dad, I think, Jalien. Even the fact that Jalien

:57:03.:57:14.

here is being rendered in real time for the director to see

:57:15.:57:17.

during the performance is not What is brand-new here

:57:18.:57:20.

is the live rendering You know, our big focus was around

:57:21.:57:25.

the face and being able to capture the face at the same

:57:26.:57:32.

time as the body. And we can determine

:57:33.:57:34.

what expressions are happening each frame, and then directors can see

:57:35.:57:37.

that live and make decisions on if the character

:57:38.:57:40.

is working as a character, whether his expressions need

:57:41.:57:43.

to change in terms of the model. In order to process an actor's

:57:44.:57:47.

expressions quickly enough, only one face cam and a few

:57:48.:57:51.

Mo-cap dots are used. This simplified live data is then

:57:52.:57:54.

compared to a higher-resolution 3-D capture of the actor's face

:57:55.:58:00.

that's taken beforehand Now, unlike other facial-capture

:58:01.:58:03.

systems we've seen, which take still images of the actor's face,

:58:04.:58:12.

here they're shooting video of my face moving into

:58:13.:58:15.

and out of each emotion. That means that the facial

recreation and the animations The live, high-quality rendering

:58:19.:58:22.

of both face and body can also become a magic mirror on sets,

to help the actor to get And I guess it really does make

:58:32.:58:34.

you move differently when you're on set, if you're playing

:58:35.:58:39.

a half-tonne alien, It totally does, as long

:58:40.:58:41.

as I engage my imagination. Because if you can see,

:58:42.:58:47.

I'm totally beautifully... You know, in a way that Jalien

:58:48.:58:51.

can't, my wetsuit moves in a way that maybe that arm and that

:58:52.:58:57.

outfit doesn't move. It's good showing

:58:58.:59:05.

you my, er, my stuff. Don't forget, we live

:59:06.:59:08.

on Facebook and on Twitter... Thanks for having us

are carried out every year in England, costing the economy

:07:00.:07:00.

A former shadow cabinet Minister has warned that a significant gap has

:07:01.:07:03.

appeared between attitudes in London and Labour's northern heartlands.

:07:04.:07:06.

Rotherham MP Sarah Champion resigned as shadow women and equalities

:07:07.:07:08.

minister last month over comments she made

:07:09.:07:10.

about the Newcastle grooming scandal.

:07:11.:07:12.

Let's get more from our political correspondent Mark Lobel,

:07:13.:07:14.

It is interesting, this is basically her explaining the rationale and

:07:15.:07:29.

high in the article she wrote which proved to be so controversial.

:07:30.:07:33.

That's right, the original article she wrote she apologise for. She

:07:34.:07:38.

apologised for her poor choice of words, she wrote in the Sun that

:07:39.:07:46.

written has a problem with Pakistani men seducing young girls -- Britain

:07:47.:07:50.

has a problem. She says that since that time she has been thanked by

:07:51.:07:53.

police and social workers who thanked her for raising the issue in

:07:54.:07:57.

the first place after the child abuse scandal. The latest one was in

:07:58.:08:01.

Newcastle. She insists in this article, John, that Britain was

:08:02.:08:06.

failing to investigate the reasons why gangs of mostly Pakistani men,

:08:07.:08:09.

her words, have groomed and exploited white girls. She says it

:08:10.:08:14.

is one thing to recognise a crime model, understanding why it has such

:08:15.:08:19.

deep roots. That is a different issue altogether. She says most of

:08:20.:08:23.

the sex gangs were friends or extended family members, trafficking

:08:24.:08:26.

girls to other friends and family members. They know the problem, but

:08:27.:08:31.

why is it happening? She also has a political dig at the left as well.

:08:32.:08:35.

She says they are more afraid of being called racist and attacking

:08:36.:08:39.

the issue, and accuses some of her Labour supporting friends in London

:08:40.:08:43.

as not having been challenged by a reality which is different in other

:08:44.:08:47.

parts of the country. Sarah Champion says that she would rather be a

:08:48.:08:51.

racist than turn a blind eye to child abuse. The Labour Party has

:08:52.:08:54.

responded. Jeremy Corbyn, who accepted Sarah Champion's

:08:55.:08:59.

resignation, says that immediate action is required to tackle child

:09:00.:09:04.

abuse but stigmatising entire communities is wrong.

:09:05.:09:05.

Free solar panels are to be installed on hundreds of thousands

:09:06.:09:08.

of homes across England and Wales over the next five years.

:09:09.:09:11.

The project, which is funded by Dutch investment,

:09:12.:09:13.

is expected to lower household bills and create over 1,000 new jobs.

:09:14.:09:17.

Energy prices have been rising in the past year,

:09:18.:09:24.

with British Gas being the latest provider to announce further hikes,

:09:25.:09:28.

a 12.5% increase to come into effect this month.

:09:29.:09:36.

The big suppliers and Government have squabbled over the reasons

:09:37.:09:39.

The Government are exploring other options to provide value for money

:09:40.:09:43.

for the most vulnerable of households.

:09:44.:09:45.

It is hoping that the British sunshine might help out.

:09:46.:09:47.

Solar has become one of the cheapest sources of energy,

:09:48.:09:50.

and that is why the Government thinks that panels like these

:09:51.:09:53.

are the solution to our rising energy bills.

:09:54.:09:56.

These houses in Acton, in West London, are some

:09:57.:10:00.

of the first beneficiaries of a new scheme that will see

:10:01.:10:04.

100,000 social housing properties have solar panels installed

:10:05.:10:06.

The company behind the scheme, Solar-plicity, say they have found

:10:07.:10:17.

that their tenants save an average of ?240 a year

:10:18.:10:20.

These residents in Acton are hoping they are right.

:10:21.:10:25.

I think it's a good idea, and especially going

:10:26.:10:27.

In the long-term, we're going to save, I think.

:10:28.:10:35.

Ealing Borough Council say that they had planned on covering

:10:36.:10:42.

more homes, but cuts to tariffs and subsidies has meant they simply

:10:43.:10:45.

But the Government insists that the falling price of solar now

:10:46.:10:57.

means that the industry does not require help.

:10:58.:10:59.

What we want to see is, and this is actually a good scheme,

:11:00.:11:03.

showing how you don't need to subsidise solar power as much,

:11:04.:11:06.

You know, we're talking here about the potential of 100,000

:11:07.:11:11.

-- 800,000 homes across the country, in the next five years,

:11:12.:11:15.

with a combination of fantastic UK companies, and investment coming

:11:16.:11:18.

Cheaper and greener energy, that's our objective.

:11:19.:11:22.

Expansion of solar is now largely reliant on the business case for it,

:11:23.:11:26.

with councils and households increasingly looking to private

:11:27.:11:28.

investors for encouragement, rather than the Government.

:11:29.:11:35.

The investigation into the chemical cloud which affected parts

:11:36.:11:38.

of East Sussex last Sunday is looking into the possibility

:11:39.:11:41.

that it may have been caused by emissions from known shipwrecks

:11:42.:11:44.

The beach at Birling Gap, near Eastbourne, was closed

:11:45.:11:51.

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency is now investigating,

:11:52.:11:54.

A mysterious mist which engulfed holidaymakers in East Sussex.

:11:55.:11:59.

It led to Birling Gap Beach, near Beachy Head, being evacuated,

:12:00.:12:02.

after people reported having irritated eyes,

:12:03.:12:04.

And then, as we came off the beach, then it really kind of hit,

:12:05.:12:23.

and we were all kind of coughing a little bit.

:12:24.:12:28.

And my children were really, really upset,

:12:29.:12:30.

Coastguard rescue teams raced to help clear the area,

:12:31.:12:33.

but by the end of Sunday evening, around 150 people had to be treated,

:12:34.:12:37.

Sussex Police said those who require treatment experienced

:12:38.:12:45.

Monitoring equipment was used at the time to try and identify

:12:46.:12:52.

the cause, but the readings were inconclusive.

:12:53.:12:55.

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency now think the gas may have come

:12:56.:12:58.

from one of the many shipwrecks in the English Channel.

:12:59.:13:01.

It is also investigating discharges from passing ships or lost cargo

:13:02.:13:04.

Tennis star Serena Williams has given birth to a baby girl

:13:05.:13:13.

News of the birth came as her sister Venus prepared to go out on court

:13:14.:13:21.

Congratulations have been pouring in from sports stars

:13:22.:13:28.

and celebrities, including Beyonce, Rafa Nadal, and Wimbledon champion

Crowds at the Bournemouth Air Festival have been wowed by one

:13:31.:13:36.

of the world's first aero-pyrotechnic display teams.

:13:37.:13:37.

These are pictures of the Twister duo, who have been putting

:13:38.:13:40.

on a spectacular night-flying display.

:13:41.:13:42.

They ducked and dived, illuminating the sky,

:13:43.:13:44.

while thousands of people watched from below.

:13:45.:13:56.

That is amazing. Sort of neon on the aircraft themselves. Wonderful

:13:57.:14:03.

pictures. If you are heading out in your car

:14:04.:14:06.

today, there is a one in three chance that your journey will be

:14:07.:14:10.

held up by roadworks. Such is their impact

:14:11.:14:13.

that the Government is considering charging utility

:14:14.:14:15.

companies who dig up busy roads The Transport Minister,

:14:16.:14:18.

Lord Callanan joins us Good morning, thank you very much

:14:19.:14:32.

for your time. How is this going to work? A sickly utilities will have

:14:33.:14:42.

to rent the road -- basically. If they want to dig it up to fix their

:14:43.:14:49.

services on the highway. The idea is to encourage them to work with other

:14:50.:14:54.

utility companies to get it done as quickly as possible and avoid

:14:55.:14:57.

disruption to motorists. So what would you be charging, and where

:14:58.:15:01.

would the money that you make from charging utility companies go to?

:15:02.:15:06.

Well, the charge depends on how busy the road is, what the congestion is

:15:07.:15:10.

like, what time of day or night they are doing the work and for how long

:15:11.:15:15.

they do it. So the judge could vary depending on how long they take to

:15:16.:15:18.

do work. And where would the money go? The local highway authorities,

:15:19.:15:22.

and any money that they raise would have to be spent on other congestion

:15:23.:15:26.

reducing measures that would benefit motorists. So in the long run the

:15:27.:15:30.

idea is that the roadworks are done more quickly but the roads would

:15:31.:15:34.

improve significantly. Would we notice the difference? Well, we have

:15:35.:15:39.

been trialling it in London and Kent and it has proved extremely

:15:40.:15:42.

successful, and we estimate there have been about 600 fewer incursions

:15:43.:15:46.

into the highway surface than would have happened otherwise. So now we

:15:47.:15:51.

are consulting on extending the scheme nationwide. Have you done any

:15:52.:15:55.

kind of quality control in this trial? There are concerns that if

:15:56.:15:58.

utility companies are being charged then they will hurry up with the

:15:59.:16:02.

work and maybe do not such a good job of finishing the road surfaces,

:16:03.:16:08.

for example. Has any quality control been done to show that this isn't

:16:09.:16:12.

the case? Yes, of course. Local authorities inspect the work after

:16:13.:16:16.

it has been finished and in the trials we have carried out there has

:16:17.:16:19.

been no evidence of any shoddy workmanship or hurrying to get it

:16:20.:16:23.

finished quicker or to a lower standard than would have happened

:16:24.:16:25.

otherwise. This is about incentivising them to do the work

:16:26.:16:30.

that has to be done. At the end of the day they need to incur into the

:16:31.:16:34.

highway, and the idea is to get them to do it either at quiet times, in

:16:35.:16:38.

the evening, or ideally in co-ordination with other utilities

:16:39.:16:41.

who may also want to access the highway.

:16:42.:16:46.

You would also inspect the work regularly because on a trial it is

:16:47.:16:53.

easy to be on your best behaviour? It has been happening over a number

:16:54.:17:01.

of months for hundreds of incidents. Of course they will be inspected

:17:02.:17:05.

afterwards as well. During your conversations with utility companies

:17:06.:17:09.

and the costs they will incur, have they said that they will need to

:17:10.:17:12.

pass the cost onto customers? They have not indicated they will do

:17:13.:17:16.

that. At the end of the day, the idea is that we will not be raising

:17:17.:17:20.

much money because they do the work faster or a quiet times. Any money

:17:21.:17:25.

that is raised will have to go back to the local authorities and be

:17:26.:17:30.

spent on other measures to reduce congestion. So there is no guarantee

:17:31.:17:35.

that utility customers will feel the pinch because of this scheme? There

:17:36.:17:38.

will be a cost to the companies, yes. Thank you very much for your

:17:39.:17:46.

time this morning. The Parliamentary under Secretary of State for the

:17:47.:17:50.

Department of Transport. Many people getting in touch this morning, one

:17:51.:17:54.

person saying it is good news that may speed up companies that other

people are worried about cost being passed on to customers. In your gas

bill, phone bill, electricity bill. Andrew asks what about sleep if it

:18:08.:18:11.

is done at night rather than during the day? It is 18 minutes past seven

:18:12.:18:18.

and it is time to look at the weather. A gorgeous sunrise or

:18:19.:18:24.

sunset? How can you tell? I don't know. Am sure you can work out from

:18:25.:18:29.

the geography. It is always a nice one behind you on the set. Always a

:18:30.:18:34.

sunrise whether it is cloudy or rainy every where else. Curious.

:18:35.:18:40.

Today we have a nice bright day. I call it a bright rather than sunny

:18:41.:18:44.

day because I don't think we will have clear blue skies. Fairweather

:18:45.:18:48.

clouds developing, if I say Sony, I will be cold out if there are

:18:49.:18:55.

clouds. This cloud, this shady area is rolling towards us so enjoy this

:18:56.:18:58.

window, this cutout of fine weather today. You can see that front

:18:59.:19:04.

rearing its head already, splashing into Ireland through the course of

:19:05.:19:09.

today but for most of us in the UK it will be a nice Saturday with

:19:10.:19:13.

sunshine around and, again, little bits of Fairweather clouds

:19:14.:19:18.

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

:19:19.:19:24.

those areas. 19 on the south coast as well. London reaching 21 with the

:19:25.:19:31.

chance that some of the summertime clouds made group began deep enough

:19:32.:19:36.

to produce light showers in Kent and Sussex. Tonight, clear for the most

:19:37.:19:40.

part but then the weather front roles in, coming in off the Atlantic

:19:41.:19:46.

bringing a lot of cloud, murky mucky conditions in places and outbreaks

:19:47.:19:51.

of rain. 14 degrees in this mile area, first thing in Belfast. This

:19:52.:19:56.

weather front pushes through, pushing away the fine weather into

:19:57.:20:00.

Scandinavia. Tomorrow it starts raining in the south-west, Wales,

:20:01.:20:04.

around the Irish Sea. Rain has it pushed through by this stage in

:20:05.:20:08.

Northern Ireland but look at this weather. It has broken up bits and

:20:09.:20:13.

pieces. When we see this on weather maps it is the sort of day that

:20:14.:20:17.

shows it is cloudy with a little rain and then cloudy and in a little

:20:18.:20:22.

rain. A damp rather than wet day for many of us. Perhaps not even

:20:23.:20:26.

reaching these extreme areas until far later Ron. Saturday is the

:20:27.:20:31.

birthday this weekend with some sunshine and tomorrow most of us

:20:32.:20:36.

will get a little bit of rain. -- Saturday is the best day this

:20:37.:20:38.

weekend. You've probably heard

:20:39.:20:40.

of campaigns like Dry January, or Go Sober for October,

:20:41.:20:42.

set up to encourage people to quit And new figures suggest

:20:43.:20:46.

that the number of people who are cutting back

:20:47.:20:50.

on the booze is rising. We'll chat more about this

:20:51.:20:52.

in a moment but first, Ooh... This may look like a typical

:20:53.:21:03.

catch up of women over cocktails. But there is a difference. There is

:21:04.:21:07.

no alcohol in them. It is because these women are all going alcohol

:21:08.:21:13.

free. I was a binge drinker so I would want to drink every, would not

:21:14.:21:23.

want to drink every night but when I did, I had no stop button. No limit.

:21:24.:21:27.

I was a different person when I drank. I would have blackouts. If I

:21:28.:21:33.

went for a weekend away it was 30 points to keep up with the boys.

:21:34.:21:38.

They signed up for a programme called one-year no beer. It is the

:21:39.:21:43.

brainchild of Roy Fairbanks. I was drunk twice a week on average it all

:21:44.:21:47.

of a sudden it was causing trouble in my life. It just was not that

:21:48.:21:54.

acceptable any longer to be coming home hungover or at four a.m.. They

:21:55.:21:59.

have seen a tenfold increase in mentorship this year alone. Their

:22:00.:22:03.

aim is to change the peer pressure around giving up drinking and to

:22:04.:22:07.

provide tactics for being in the pub. Stealth drinks are great. Ukip

:22:08.:22:17.

the Barman, and he gives you a non-alcoholic ear. Fake gin and

:22:18.:22:20.

tonic stick you can get away with this stuff. With more British people

:22:21.:22:23.

banishing the blues than ever before, south of non-alcoholic

:22:24.:22:27.

drinks are booming. In five years, the amount of low or no alcohol beer

:22:28.:22:33.

sold in the UK has risen by 50%. For these women, getting off the booze

:22:34.:22:37.

has provided them with rewards. Clarity and quickness of thought. I

:22:38.:22:43.

lost four Stone. I train six days a week. I run around like a nutter and

:22:44.:22:48.

everything I want to do I can go and do. And that is something we can all

:22:49.:22:51.

raise a mock tale to. Joining us now is GP,

:22:52.:22:52.

Dr Amrit Ryatt and David Barnicle, Good morning. How does that work? A

:22:53.:23:09.

dry bar. It seems like a contradiction in terms. Essentially,

:23:10.:23:17.

will we are part of a charity action on addiction, it is a method for

:23:18.:23:23.

people who are in recovery but if it is also a social space and people

:23:24.:23:28.

sometimes very. And, also, we do lovely food and drink at and events

:23:29.:23:34.

as a team. We have courses for people pursuing a healthy aim in

:23:35.:23:45.

life. Is still like a pub? You would think you were in any sort of cafe

:23:46.:23:52.

restaurant but it is built on community and we children and

:23:53.:23:58.

forming friendships. Are your opening hours similar to our part? I

:23:59.:24:05.

am trying to work out what it is different, Howard is different to a

:24:06.:24:12.

pub. We close at eight p.m. So it is similar to that we are open all day

:24:13.:24:16.

but we are doing something different. We are providing an

:24:17.:24:23.

alternative. Doctor, are you surprised by these figures that

:24:24.:24:27.

suggest fewer of us are drinking? Not really. There is a big cultural

:24:28.:24:32.

shift in general about healthy eating and clean living and part of

:24:33.:24:37.

that is alcohol. I think it is easier for people to learn about the

:24:38.:24:42.

negative effects of alcohol and the impact it has on various illnesses

:24:43.:24:48.

such as cancer, and blood pressure, people have a better understanding

:24:49.:24:51.

of the link between alcohol and illness now. I don't think it is

:24:52.:24:56.

viewed in the same way as it was ten or 20 years ago. I think people have

:24:57.:25:02.

of better understanding now. Is a younger people drinking less? There

:25:03.:25:07.

seems to be a I don't know, posting selfies of looking quite fit after

:25:08.:25:11.

the gym and looking healthy whereas when we were at university we did

:25:12.:25:15.

not think about those sort of things. I am looking at you, John.

:25:16.:25:19.

It was just not part of the lifestyle. At that age you were

:25:20.:25:25.

drinking loads. I think the statistics confirm that. Younger

:25:26.:25:30.

people seem to have a healthier attitude and relationship with

:25:31.:25:34.

alcohol which is encouraging because we will hopefully see the benefits

:25:35.:25:37.

in terms of riches on the pages. Moving forward that would be great

:25:38.:25:44.

to see. I agree with the statistics. Were you surprised by the figures? I

:25:45.:25:47.

know you are working with people who are seeking help and have

:25:48.:25:50.

acknowledged that they want to change their lifestyle. More

:25:51.:25:53.

broadly, the figures suggest that what you are doing, a dry pub may be

:25:54.:25:57.

popular for the general community. I am not surprised at all. I had been

:25:58.:26:02.

in nearly five years now and over the years all of the partnerships we

:26:03.:26:06.

have made with organisations in the links we have made with universities

:26:07.:26:13.

and the suchlike where we meet the first-year students were being

:26:14.:26:17.

informed by them all the time. They want the sort of choices when it

:26:18.:26:22.

comes to drinking and nightlife. I wonder if it is about money as well.

:26:23.:26:27.

People not as wealthy as they were relatively one or two decades ago.

:26:28.:26:30.

Maybe students are not as well off and do not have disposable cash. Is

:26:31.:26:36.

that a factor? A night out is definitely much dearer now than it

:26:37.:26:42.

used to be. Bite the information is more readily available now and

:26:43.:26:48.

people are able to, you know, not diagnose themselves but they are

:26:49.:26:53.

able to look after their own health was positive action and access

:26:54.:26:57.

information and find out what can be good for them. For many people, that

:26:58.:27:00.

is a leap, from those who regularly drink during the week to a dry bar.

:27:01.:27:11.

These things like stop October. Update adds that help in your

:27:12.:27:20.

opinion? Do you encourage people? I think there is evidence to suggest

:27:21.:27:23.

that it has a positive lasting affect. Even Michael Mosley who did

:27:24.:27:28.

the BBC documentary about it, he showed that as well. I think there

:27:29.:27:34.

are some findings that it has a beneficial effect directly on the

:27:35.:27:38.

liver so you can get sun liver healing. You can reduce your weight

:27:39.:27:42.

and blood pressure. You can sleep better and have a better sense of

:27:43.:27:46.

well-being. Many participants report a healthier relationship with

:27:47.:27:50.

alcohol coming out of doing something like stop October or dry

:27:51.:27:55.

January the hope is after having done that you break the habit of

:27:56.:27:59.

always having a drink with a meal or with your friends. I would encourage

:28:00.:28:04.

anyone to try and even for a couple of weeks to see how you go. Thank

:28:05.:28:08.

you both for coming in. We will discuss this later so if you have

:28:09.:28:12.

any opinions are experiences and you would like to join in, get in touch

:28:13.:28:16.

and we will read out your comments. Some of us are just getting used to

settling bills by Kotler -- by contactless credit cards,

:28:19.:28:26.

or even mobile phones, how would you feel

:28:27.:28:29.

about facial recognition? The Chinese retail giant 'Alibaba'

:28:30.:28:31.

has installed the system at a fast food restaurant, where you pay

:28:32.:28:34.

for your food by scanning your face. Our China correspondent,

:28:35.:28:37.

Robin Brant has been to take a look. you do not need cash. Now pinned.

:28:38.:28:44.

You do not need to sign anything. You just need your face. They say it

:28:45.:28:50.

is a world first. The Chinese retail and technology giant Alibaba has

:28:51.:28:53.

been fine-tuning this for four years. Now it is available at this

:28:54.:28:58.

high end fast food restaurant. You choose what you want, it scans your

:28:59.:29:02.

face, it crosschecks with your mobile number and the Chinese

:29:03.:29:05.

government's vast ID card data base and off you go. You like this? Yes.

:29:06.:29:12.

I like. Transocean mag I will keep using it and I will recommend it to

:29:13.:29:17.

my friends. -- TRANSLATION: I will keep using it. It works even if you

:29:18.:29:24.

pile on make up or wait. But how about your privacy?

:29:25.:29:44.

TRANSLATION: We will not use or store facial information. We only

:29:45.:29:51.

crosscheck. When we do crosscheck we will take facial features, encrypt

:29:52.:29:55.

and desensitise it and compare that with the data source. Alibaba

:29:56.:30:00.

insists that all the data in gathers is encrypted and says it does not

:30:01.:30:04.

retain any of it anyway. Neither does the company behind the

:30:05.:30:08.

restaurant. Eade admits that if the government changed the law and

:30:09.:30:13.

forced it to do so, it would have to co-operate. The Chinese authorities

:30:14.:30:17.

are using facial recognition is part of a major security clampdown in the

:30:18.:30:21.

:30:22.:30:27.

not unique. The police and the UK have used it at football games and

:30:28.:30:30.

carnivals. The big concern here is that the government may one day come

calling and try to use this data to target those that often wants to

name of changing the face of the world's number two economy. Just

Hello, this is Breakfast, with Jon Kay and Naga Munchetty.

:31:17.:31:19.

Coming up before 8:00am, we will get the weather with Tomasz.

:31:20.:31:25.

But first, at 7:30am, a summary of this morning's main

:31:26.:31:28.

More heavy rain is forecast in South Asia, where this year's

:31:29.:31:32.

monsoon season has left millions of people displaced.

:31:33.:31:35.

It is now believed more than 1,400 people have died.

:31:36.:31:37.

Parts of India's financial centre, Mumbai, are under several

:31:38.:31:40.

President Trump is to visit Texas again today to assess the flood

:31:41.:31:45.

He will fly to Houston, where he will meet survivors

:31:46.:31:49.

and volunteers involved in the relief effort.

:31:50.:31:51.

A chemical plant near the city has exploded after its cooling system

:31:52.:31:54.

Utility companies could be charged by the hour for digging up busy

:31:55.:32:08.

roads in England, under plans being put forward by the Government.

:32:09.:32:11.

Ministers hope the policy would force contractors to speed up

:32:12.:32:14.

repairs, or carry out work at night, to reduce delays.

:32:15.:32:17.

Trials in London and Kent have indicated that firms avoided working

:32:18.:32:20.

The investigation into the chemical cloud which affected parts

:32:21.:32:29.

of East Sussex last Sunday is looking into the possibility

:32:30.:32:32.

that it may have been caused by emissions from known shipwrecks

:32:33.:32:35.

The beach at Birling Gap, near Eastbourne, was closed

:32:36.:32:40.

Around 150 people had to be treated, with others reporting discomfort.

:32:41.:32:44.

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency is now investigating.

:32:45.:32:48.

Tennis star Serena Williams has given birth to a baby girl

:32:49.:32:51.

News of the birth came as her sister Venus prepared to go out on court

:32:52.:33:02.

Congratulations have been pouring in from sports stars

:33:03.:33:05.

and celebrities, including Beyonce, Rafa Nadal and ladies Wimbledon

:33:06.:33:07.

And we are all getting a bit sentimental here.

:33:08.:33:23.

The Yellow Pages telephone directory will be printed for the last

:33:24.:33:26.

I don't suppose you have a copy of Flyfishing by JR Hartley.

:33:27.:33:31.

Well known for its 1980s advertising campaign featuring the fictional

:33:32.:33:39.

author JR Hartley, who managed to find an out-of-print book,

:33:40.:33:41.

the Yellow Pages has been in production for 51 years.

:33:42.:33:44.

Its owner, Yell, says it will continue online.

:33:45.:33:46.

The last of the books will be delivered in Brighton,

:33:47.:33:49.

the same place the first edition was distributed in 1966.

:33:50.:34:06.

Can you keep it for me? My name, oh yes. It is JR Hartley. He enunciated

:34:07.:34:22.

so well. In another 50 years he will be trying to find an antique copy of

:34:23.:34:26.

the Yellow Pages. They had so many uses. You could stand on them, you

:34:27.:34:31.

could use them as a wicket for indoor cricket in the lounge room.

:34:32.:34:35.

The remote as the bat in the Yellow Pages as the wicket. I used to use

:34:36.:34:42.

them for bases for rounders. We never used to throw them away, for

:34:43.:34:50.

some reason. It was bizarre. A busy night in football. After the

:34:51.:35:01.

performances against Malta in San Marino, Scotland did well. Their

:35:02.:35:06.

qualification campaign is back on track.

:35:07.:35:07.

It was a successful night for the Home Nations,

:35:08.:35:09.

Northern Ireland are on the verge of the play-offs, after winning 3-0

:35:10.:35:16.

And, as James Burford explains, Scotland's 3-0 win in Lithuania has

:35:17.:35:19.

given them hope again that they can reach next summer's World Cup.

:35:20.:35:23.

Where there's a will, there's a way, and Gordon Strachan's sons

:35:24.:35:26.

of Scotland certainly showed the way to Russia 2018 isn't over yet.

:35:27.:35:29.

A win was all that would do, and a winning performance

:35:30.:35:32.

was what the players delivered from the get go.

:35:33.:35:34.

Stuart Armstrong strong-armed his way to the scoresheet,

:35:35.:35:37.

But it got better - Liverpool's new man,

:35:38.:35:40.

Andy Robertson, showing why some are calling him

:35:41.:35:42.

Scotland's Gareth Bale, Strachan clearly impressed.

:35:43.:35:44.

Two goals to the good, how about a third?

:35:45.:35:46.

Three points in the bag, three goals, too.

:35:47.:35:48.

James McArthur following up some quick thinking with his

:35:49.:35:51.

In Malta, England faced 30-degree temperatures and a resilient

:35:52.:35:57.

defence, one that eventually wilted when Dele Alli picked out

:35:58.:35:59.

Harry Kane, the Tottenham player's first goal of the season.

:36:00.:36:02.

Ryan Bertrand's first international strike came from a full 30 yards

:36:03.:36:05.

out, before Danny Welbeck made a goalscoring return

:36:06.:36:07.

There was even time for Kane to get in on the act again,

:36:08.:36:12.

three goals in the last six minutes perhaps flattering

:36:13.:36:14.

Northern Ireland's grip on second place in their group

:36:15.:36:18.

A dominant performance in San Marino, where Josh Magennis

:36:19.:36:24.

was the star of the show, scoring not once but twice,

:36:25.:36:27.

to help them go seven points clear of the next-closest side.

:36:28.:36:30.

Another from the penalty spot from captain Steven Davis put

:36:31.:36:33.

the seal on a fantastic night for the Home Nations.

:36:34.:36:35.

When we say on one day, do you think we can win?

:36:36.:36:51.

Did I think we would have that many attempts at goals?

:36:52.:36:59.

It was a game where our attack came from different angles,

:37:00.:37:03.

Of course, we would like to have scored our goals earlier.

:37:04.:37:11.

If we had scored our goals earlier tonight, it would have helped

:37:12.:37:14.

For me, that is the benefit of having played for England,

:37:15.:37:18.

because I have been involved in nights like this before.

:37:19.:37:21.

I have seen other managers go through it.

:37:22.:37:23.

I have been on the pitch when we haven't scored loads

:37:24.:37:26.

of goals, against teams who are supposedly minnows,

:37:27.:37:28.

But there will be no British interest in the second week

:37:29.:37:41.

at Flushing Meadows, after Kyle Edmund was forced

:37:42.:37:43.

to retire in his third-round clash with Denis Shapovalov.

:37:44.:37:46.

The match was evenly poised at a set all,

:37:47.:37:49.

with both players getting into the rhythm.

:37:50.:37:50.

But just as the contest was heating up, Edmund called for the physio,

:37:51.:37:54.

He returned to the court briefly, losing the third set,

:37:55.:37:58.

before reluctantly retiring at the start of the fourth.

:37:59.:38:00.

Do you carry on to the end, but you just go through the motions,

:38:01.:38:07.

And you don't want to pull out straightaway.

:38:08.:38:14.

You want to see, is this going to get better?

:38:15.:38:17.

But ultimately, I thought, I'm not going to win two more

:38:18.:38:20.

I knew that I wasn't going to win two more sets feeling like that.

:38:21.:38:31.

Maria Sharapova, has made her way through to

:38:32.:38:33.

the fourth round of the US Open, with a straight-sets win over Sofia

:38:34.:38:37.

Afterward, she hit back at Caroline Wozniacki's complaints that

:38:38.:38:55.

Sharapova gets favouritism and best treatment when it comes to the show

:38:56.:39:00.

courts. With regards to scheduling, as you know, I don't make the

:39:01.:39:04.

schedule. And you know, I am a pretty big competitor, and if you

:39:05.:39:08.

put me out in the parking lot of Queens in New York city, I am happy

:39:09.:39:12.

to play there. That is not what matters to me. All that matters to

:39:13.:39:17.

me as I am in the fourth round, and I am not sure where she is.

:39:18.:39:18.

The domestic rugby union season got off to a pulsating start last night,

:39:19.:39:22.

with Gloucester scoring a last-minute try to beat defending

:39:23.:39:24.

The game was level at 21-21, and heading for a draw,

:39:25.:39:28.

when Gloucester full-back Jason Woodward popped up in the 82nd

:39:29.:39:31.

minute of the game to snatch an opening-day victory.

:39:32.:39:34.

In the night's other Premiership game, Newcastle beat Worcester 35-8.

:39:35.:39:40.

The expanded Pro14 also got under way last night,

:39:41.:39:43.

and it was an impressive start for Ulster.

:39:44.:39:45.

They beat League debutants the South African side the Cheetahs,

:39:46.:39:47.

42-19, All Black Charles Piutau scoring one of Ulster's six tries.

:39:48.:39:50.

There were also wins for Edinburgh and Munster.

:39:51.:40:08.

Western Storm are women's T20 champions after beating

:40:09.:40:10.

Some big hitting from Rachel Priest and Stafanie Taylor,

:40:11.:40:14.

guided them home with two overs to spare, Taylor sealing victory

:40:15.:40:16.

After the game, the Vipers' and former England captain

:40:17.:40:20.

Charlotte Edwards announced her retirement from cricket.

:40:21.:40:22.

Edwards is England's most-capped female player.

:40:23.:40:23.

She stepped away from international cricket last year, after a career

:40:24.:40:26.

There is a big day ahead in domestic cricket,

:40:27.:40:31.

as Nottinghamshire can do the one-day double if they win

:40:32.:40:34.

They have already won the One-Day Cup this season,

:40:35.:40:37.

and face Hampshire in one of today's T20 semi-finals.

:40:38.:40:40.

The winners will then meet either home side Birmingham or Glamorgan,

:40:41.:40:43.

the county, who are making their first appearance

:40:44.:40:45.

The BBC has learned that last year nearly 100,000 graduates were

:40:46.:41:11.

reimbursed after overpaying their student loans.

:41:12.:41:14.

It happened because the Inland Revenue didn't stop their repayments

:41:15.:41:17.

Paul Lewis from Radio 4's Money Box programme has been looking

:41:18.:41:21.

Good morning, Paul. Just explain, I know millions of people have had all

:41:22.:41:30.

will have student loans. What is going on? Well, these loans started

:41:31.:41:36.

as long ago as 1998, and many people are coming to the end of them,

:41:37.:41:39.

because obviously the loan was much smaller than that. And the system is

:41:40.:41:43.

set up so that people are almost bound to overpay at the end. As you

:41:44.:41:48.

said in your introduction, the new figures under Freedom of information

:41:49.:41:52.

show that 93,200 graduates had to be refunded last year because they had

:41:53.:41:57.

overpaid their loans. ?745 each, on average. And it happens quite

:41:58.:42:01.

complete because of the system. HMRC collect this money, along with tax

:42:02.:42:06.

and national insurance, but it doesn't pass it on to the student

:42:07.:42:11.

loans Company until the end of the tax year. And then the student loans

:42:12.:42:15.

Company has the allocated to all the right people, work out what they

:42:16.:42:19.

owe. That can take more months. The result is that you can overpay for

:42:20.:42:24.

up to 19 months after you've actually paid enough to pay off your

:42:25.:42:29.

loan. That can make a big dent in your life, can't it, if you have a

:42:30.:42:34.

mortgage or a family or something. How do you find out if you have

:42:35.:42:39.

overpaid? This is the problem. It would be a very complicated

:42:40.:42:43.

calculation to do it yourself. I'm sure whether spreadsheets some

:42:44.:42:45.

graduates could manage it, but you don't know until you are told. What

:42:46.:42:50.

the student loans Company tells us is that about two years before what

:42:51.:42:54.

they think will be the end of your loan they write to you and say would

:42:55.:42:57.

you like to stop this automatic deduction and pay-outs by direct

:42:58.:43:01.

debit, and that really is the advice everybody should take. If they get

:43:02.:43:05.

that letter, turn off the automatic deduction by HMRC and pay by direct

:43:06.:43:10.

debit. But of course, a lot of people don't do that. I was talking

:43:11.:43:15.

to one graduate, she is an economics graduate, she reckons she had

:43:16.:43:18.

overpaid by several thousand pounds. She rang the student loans company

:43:19.:43:22.

and didn't really get anywhere, and she described the whole process to

:43:23.:43:26.

me as chaos, difficult and confusing. And even when she asked

:43:27.:43:29.

for a statement saying exactly what she was owed by them, they didn't

:43:30.:43:34.

produce it. At least, they didn't produce it until Friday afternoon,

:43:35.:43:41.

after Money box had been talking to them for a week. And what about

:43:42.:43:44.

getting the money back into your account once you find that you have

:43:45.:43:48.

been overpaid? Is it a tortuous system to actually get the cash

:43:49.:43:53.

back, to reclaim it? It is not that simple. In theory, ultimately they

:43:54.:43:56.

should repay you, but that could well be a couple of years after you

:43:57.:44:01.

should have stopped paying. If you ask for it, the student loans

:44:02.:44:05.

Company says that people will be told and it will be sorted out on an

:44:06.:44:09.

individual basis. But given that over 100,000 people every year come

:44:10.:44:13.

to the end of their loan, and we have learned that 93,000 have had to

:44:14.:44:17.

be repaid, obviously the vast majority don't sort it out in time.

:44:18.:44:21.

And I really think it is astonishing that, Ely 20 years after the system

:44:22.:44:28.

began in 1998, HMRC and the student loans company still haven't come to

:44:29.:44:31.

an arrangement where they can do this in real-time -- nearly 20

:44:32.:44:35.

years. HMRC are said to be working on a system. That will affect all of

:44:36.:44:40.

us, and won't be around for a few years. Until then, if you are a

:44:41.:44:44.

graduate and you get that letter saying would you like to move to

:44:45.:44:48.

direct debit payments, the answer is, yes please, and hopefully you

:44:49.:44:52.

will end up paying your loan off at the right time and will not have to

:44:53.:44:56.

make any more payments. And a quick summary of what the student loans

:44:57.:45:02.

Company say in return? They say they have 400 million loans outstanding,

:45:03.:45:05.

less than 0.1% of people complain, and they have this system in place

:45:06.:45:12.

if people take advantage of it. It is not automatic, but you can take

:45:13.:45:16.

advantage of it if you want to do so.

:45:17.:45:24.

make sure your face fits so you can feed your face...

:45:25.:45:26.

All are used to, we have the sunshine on the way. It will be not

:45:27.:45:34.

much like it tomorrow. So if you are enjoying yourself today in the fine

:45:35.:45:38.

weather, make the most of it because these gap in the cloud will be

:45:39.:45:43.

replaced late this massive cloud. This will roll our way and will sit

:45:44.:45:48.

on top of the UK tomorrow, initially in the west. Looking at the next few

:45:49.:45:54.

hours, fine out there, a little nippy. There may be some light

:45:55.:45:59.

showers developing in eastern areas but for the vast majority of the UK

:46:00.:46:03.

it is a fine day. This is what it looks like at four o'clock in the

:46:04.:46:06.

afternoon. Newcastle and Belfast doing well that. Close to 20 degrees

:46:07.:46:12.

across the Midlands, London probably 20 or 21 and fine weather on the

:46:13.:46:16.

south Coast. This rate he will approach Western parts during the

:46:17.:46:21.

course of tomorrow. -- this range here. What will happen later on and

:46:22.:46:27.

into tonight, this band of cloud will reach the west around three or

:46:28.:46:34.

four in the morning. Around the Irish Sea, Belfast will have a damp

:46:35.:46:41.

night by then but many eastern areas tomorrow waking up to sunshine

:46:42.:46:44.

because these hazy skies, this weather front will move slowly.

:46:45.:46:48.

Sometimes they are slow and sometimes they are slow and this one

:46:49.:46:54.

is quite slow. As it moves the rain will break up but that means there

:46:55.:46:59.

will be less of it once it reaches eastern areas. Overall, the best way

:47:00.:47:04.

to describe tomorrow, save for the west, two thirds of the country will

:47:05.:47:10.

have a cloudy damp day with rain on and off and in the evening some

:47:11.:47:14.

weather will reach the Far east of the country. A quick summery, today

:47:15.:47:20.

is the best day with some sunshine and then tomorrow the umbrellas are

:47:21.:47:26.

out. Thank you very much indeed. We will catch up with you later. Enjoy

:47:27.:47:28.

today. Welcome to Newswatch

with me, Roger Bolton, Around 40 people have

given greater prominence? We will also ask if the 20th

of what one BBC editor But first, the reputation of August

:47:56.:47:57.

as being the silly season for news share of cataclysmic

:47:58.:48:09.

events over the years. The outbreak of World War I,

:48:10.:48:18.

the partition of India, and the Soviet invasion

:48:19.:48:21.

of Czechoslovakia, for example. This summer hasn't exactly been

August, news presenter Simon McCoy could barely bring himself

:48:39.:48:41.

to introduce an item of, shall we say, less

:48:42.:48:44.

than earth-shattering importance. This doesn't look like

:48:45.:48:48.

a walk in the park. Dog owners and their pets

:48:49.:48:52.

some have small waves. There is a lot of

:51:33.:51:41.

a different concern The floods had displaced thousands

:51:42.:51:43.

of Americans and the death toll It is clear this has been

:51:44.:51:47.

a major natural disaster. But a much greater one

has been taking place Monsoon rain in India,

Bangladesh and Nepal has affected no fewer than 16 million people,

:51:55.:51:58.

killing 1200 so far. Although BBC News has covered

:51:59.:52:01.

this Asian disaster, the amount of airtime it has been

:52:02.:52:04.

given is far less than that given Here's what some of the audience

:52:05.:52:07.

felt about that relative lack I'd like to know how the BBC decide

:52:08.:52:13.

which to cover and why the floods in America,

:52:14.:52:20.

which are less fatal, have been covered more than the floods

:52:21.:52:25.

in the Asian subcontinent. Is it because there are

:52:26.:52:27.

more reporters there? Or is it because they are poor

:52:28.:52:29.

people or that the Asian people While what Hurricane Harvey has

:52:30.:52:35.

unleashed is truly catastrophic and I feel for the huge loss

:52:36.:52:45.

of lives and property, I was surprised to find

:52:46.:52:48.

the disproportionately low and somewhat superficial coverage

:52:49.:52:50.

of, for instance, These places do not have the kind

:52:51.:52:52.

of coping mechanisms available, for instance,

:52:53.:53:01.

in the American scenario. But the coverage doesn't seem to be

:53:02.:53:08.

anything like the type of continuous blow-by-blow account that we seem

:53:09.:53:12.

to get off the American experience. And it does raise questions of

:53:13.:53:21.

Western media's Euro-American bias. To be honest we expect

:53:22.:53:24.

better from the BBC. I've hardly seen any coverage

:53:25.:53:26.

of the flooding in southern Asia. It seems that 20 people have

:53:27.:53:31.

lost their lives in Texas and that was a tragedy but it also

:53:32.:53:34.

seems over 1200 people have Are their lives somehow less

:53:35.:53:38.

important than those of Texans? It's like, "Why are you giving

:53:39.:53:42.

it less coverage?" Well, to answer those questions,

:53:43.:53:54.

I'm joined by Paul Royal, editor of the BBC's News at Six

:53:55.:53:56.

and News at Ten. You don't deny that Storm Harvey has

:53:57.:53:59.

received much more coverage in your news programmes

:54:00.:54:04.

than the floods in south-east Asia. There has been a lot of coverage

:54:05.:54:08.

of Storm Harvey over the last four Probably, in totality,

:54:09.:54:12.

more than the South Asia floods. But, what needs to be made clear

:54:13.:54:20.

and it's really important, BBC News and BBC television news

:54:21.:54:23.

covered the south Asia floods in the middle of August

:54:24.:54:27.

from about August 13th onwards. and then the BBC South Asia

:54:28.:54:30.

correspondent reported for television news on August 20th

:54:31.:54:34.

on BBC One Sunday tea-time We were in country

:54:35.:54:37.

reporting that story. We are currently in India

:54:38.:54:40.

at the moment reporting there today and over the weekend on the latest

:54:41.:54:43.

stage in these floods. Nobody is denying that

:54:44.:54:57.

you are covering it but when you look rather

:54:58.:55:00.

crudely at the casualties, around 40 killed from Storm Harvey,

:55:01.:55:02.

we are talking at 1200 and counting You know, viewers say this

:55:03.:55:06.

is an immense disparity and want to know why

:55:07.:55:09.

and they have suspicions. You heard David say,

:55:10.:55:12.

is it because more reporters are in the US and have

:55:13.:55:14.

easier access? It is true all the American networks

:55:15.:55:16.

are going live and you can pick up their coverage very easily

:55:17.:55:20.

and at very little cost. It is a factor in terms

:55:21.:55:23.

of accessability and where resources It is easier to report -

:55:24.:55:27.

there are still challenges. It is easier in a practical

:55:28.:55:31.

and technical sense to report from somewhere like Houston

:55:32.:55:36.

than it is from countries where you might need a visa

:55:37.:55:39.

or where practical access It is much harder and involves more

:55:40.:55:42.

time and effort to get there. Nicola Davenport, who we heard from,

said, "Do you think Asian lives The news is respected and revered

:56:47.:56:48.

of have you covered it, Another aspect briefly in terms

:57:04.:57:11.

of the American coverage that some listeners and viewers have brought

:57:12.:57:20.

up, is the fact you seem preoccupied with how President Trump will handle

:57:21.:57:23.

it in terms of a PR sense when what really matters now

:57:24.:57:26.

is what is happening on the ground. Are you slightly obsessed

:57:27.:57:30.

with President Trump and his tweets? Clearly the bulk of the reporting

:57:31.:57:32.

has been about what is happening There is a political story

:57:33.:57:37.

in terms of what happened with Hurricane Katrina,

:57:38.:57:41.

a lot of grey cloud and some rain on the way, but not for everybody.

:02:00.:02:02.

More heavy rain is falling in South Asia where this year's

:02:03.:02:07.

monsoon season has left millions of people displaced.

:02:08.:02:09.

It's now believed more than 1400 people have died.

Our South Asia Correspondent Justin Rowlatt is in

:02:16.:02:19.

the eastern state of Bihar, one of the worst affected areas.

:02:20.:02:25.

He joins us now live on BBC Breakfast. We have heard reports

:02:26.:02:33.

some of the worst brain has died away, that the level of the water

:02:34.:02:37.

has dropped, but I guess it is exposing the damage that has

:02:38.:02:45.

happened? Yes, that's exactly right. It is

:02:46.:02:50.

exposing all sorts of issues that need to be dealt with. Homes,

:02:51.:02:54.

schools, the roads need to be rebuilt and of course, floodwater

:02:55.:02:58.

brings with it the threat of disease. We've been talking to the

:02:59.:03:02.

Red Cross today, we've been at the local hospital, there are people in

:03:03.:03:06.

there with diarrhoea and other waterborne diseases. They are

:03:07.:03:09.

anxious about the effect that will have. 12 million people, that is

:03:10.:03:14.

right, 12 million people just in this one Indian state have had to

:03:15.:03:21.

leave their home. Many of them are living in temporary shelters, some

:03:22.:03:23.

just sticks that some top Paulin on top. They are very, very vulnerable

:03:24.:03:29.

to disease. There is very little clean water and no sanitation. The

:03:30.:03:34.

Red Cross teams are out there to try and provide them with clean water,

:03:35.:03:37.

food and other supplies they need, but it is a huge, huge struggle. As

:03:38.:03:42.

you can see, it isn't raining here in Bihar, but that doesn't mean that

:03:43.:03:47.

this crisis is over. That area is used to very heavy

:03:48.:03:54.

monsoon rain. Clearly this is exceptionally heavy and prolonged.

:03:55.:03:58.

Do you get a sense the authorities there, the agencies, were prepared

:03:59.:04:03.

for it to be this bad, this time? This is exceptional. Once a decade

:04:04.:04:11.

kind of scale of flood. The authorities recognise flooding

:04:12.:04:16.

happens often. The problem is, they simply aren't resources to deal with

:04:17.:04:21.

the scale of a crisis like this. As I say, just in this state, 12

:04:22.:04:27.

million people displaced. Across India, 17 million people affected.

:04:28.:04:30.

Really a very large number of people affected. Hospitals in India are

:04:31.:04:34.

stretched out the best of times, and a huge number of people now

:04:35.:04:39.

suffering from diarrhoea and other diseases added to that, and it is a

:04:40.:04:43.

real problem. The emergency services, they don't have boats or

:04:44.:04:46.

the resources to go out in the floodwater to go and help people.

:04:47.:04:51.

The people themselves are incredibly poor. People in Bihar are often

:04:52.:04:59.

subsistence farmers, the poorest people in the entire world. They

:05:00.:05:03.

have very little, their houses are fragile a makeshift den easily

:05:04.:05:07.

destroyed, and when they swept away, as many have been, these people are

:05:08.:05:12.

not able to withstand the rigours. They don't have savings or money to

:05:13.:05:17.

rebuild. So it is a huge problem. Listen, when you look back over

:05:18.:05:22.

floods, which stretch all the way from Bangladesh to Pakistan, when

:05:23.:05:26.

you look at the responses to these floods, in previous years big

:05:27.:05:29.

floods, and there have been many over the decades, have much higher

:05:30.:05:33.

death tolls. In a sense that is a measure that suggests to us

:05:34.:05:35.

governments are getting better. Having said that, a figure of 1400

:05:36.:05:41.

people killed by the floods tells us there is still a huge, huge

:05:42.:05:50.

challenge here in south Asia. Justin, reporting from Bihar, thank

:05:51.:05:54.

you for the update. A huge challenge there that Justin

:05:55.:05:58.

was talking about South Asia battles with the floods and flood damage.

:05:59.:06:00.

There is also damage in the US. President Trump is to visit Texas

bridge right here. They remember the ones

:06:41.:06:42.

they were not able to rescue. Some of them weren't able to get out

:06:43.:06:45.

in time for them to get help, and they were basically stuck

:06:46.:06:51.

inside their house, you know. And they're crippled,

:06:52.:06:53.

or they can't even get outside of their residence,

:06:54.:06:56.

and they died. The sweep of the storm

:06:57.:07:00.

caught people by surprise. After sitting over Houston for days,

by the hour for digging up busy roads, when they work

:07:45.:07:54.

on improving their infrastructure - this under plans being put forward

:07:55.:08:02.

by the Government. Ministers hope the policy

:08:03.:08:04.

would force contractors in England to speed up repairs,

:08:05.:08:06.

or carry out work at night to reduce traffic delays

:08:07.:08:08.

caused by their projects. Mile after mile, hour after hour

of delays caused by roadworks. It's thought one in every

:08:11.:08:16.

three of our journeys Around 2.5 million roadworks

:08:17.:08:18.

are carried out every year in England, costing the economy

:08:19.:08:23.

an estimated ?4 billion in lost working hours

:08:24.:08:25.

and delayed deliveries. Utility companies aren't responsible

:08:26.:08:30.

for every excavated carriageway or set of temporary traffic lights,

:08:31.:08:35.

but it's hoped this new scheme may persuade them to carry

:08:36.:08:38.

out their work more quickly or at night, so as to

:08:39.:08:41.

cause less disruption. Under the proposals,

:08:42.:08:44.

councils could charge utility companies up to ?2500 per site

:08:45.:08:46.

to work on roads during the day. When trialled in London back

:08:47.:08:51.

in 2012, this led to a 42% drop in the levels of disruption

:08:52.:08:54.

caused by roadworks. We've been trialling it in London

:08:55.:08:59.

and Kent and it's proved extremely successful,

:09:00.:09:03.

and we estimate that there's been about 600 less incursions

:09:04.:09:09.

into the highway surface So now we're on extending

:09:10.:09:11.

the scheme nationwide. The idea has been cautiously

:09:12.:09:16.

welcomed by the AA and the RAC, but they've warned that these

:09:17.:09:19.

changes mustn't read the works being rushed or slapdash, simply

:09:20.:09:21.

to hand road as quickly as possible. The Local Government Association has

:09:22.:09:24.

praised the success of the pilot schemes and called for other

councils to be given the new powers The former shadow women's and

:09:28.:09:47.

equalities Minister Sarah Champion has been talking about divisions in

:09:48.:09:51.

the country. We are going to talk to our political correspondent, in our

:09:52.:09:56.

London newsroom. Sarah Champion caused some controversy about an

:09:57.:10:00.

article that her name was put two and comments about men who groom

:10:01.:10:05.

young women? Yes, Sarah Champion has apologised

:10:06.:10:09.

for the poor choice of words used in that article in last month's the Sun

:10:10.:10:13.

newspaper, in which it was said Britain has a problem with British

:10:14.:10:17.

Pakistani men raping and exploiting white girls following a child abuse

:10:18.:10:21.

scandal in Newcastle. In her first interview since resigning, in

:10:22.:10:27.

today's Times, she said her e-mail inbox has gone nuts with members of

:10:28.:10:31.

the police, social workers and health professionals thanking her

:10:32.:10:35.

for raising the issue. She goes into more detail about the issue today.

:10:36.:10:40.

She describes the crime model of the sex gangs, which he says are full of

:10:41.:10:44.

friends and extended family members, trafficking goals to other friends

:10:45.:10:48.

and family members. She reiterates her view that it is mostly Pakistani

:10:49.:10:55.

men involved. She says... It's one thing to

:10:56.:10:59.

recognise a cry model, recognising why it has planted such deep root is

:11:00.:11:04.

a different challenge altogether. She accuses the left of being too

:11:05.:11:09.

afraid of being called racist than tackling, and that stopping them

:11:10.:11:13.

tackling this issue head on. She said she would rather be called

:11:14.:11:17.

racist than turn a blind eye to child abuse, perhaps unshackled

:11:18.:11:20.

because she has now left the Labour front bench. She accuses maybe

:11:21.:11:24.

Labour politicians who live in London not being challenged by

:11:25.:11:27.

reality playing out in the rest of the country. The Labour Party has

:11:28.:11:31.

responded. Jeremy Corbyn, who initially accepted her resignation,

:11:32.:11:37.

said effective action is needed to tackle child abuse that stigmatising

:11:38.:11:40.

entire communities is wrong. Thank you very much.

:11:41.:11:45.

The investigation into the chemical cloud which affected parts

:11:46.:11:48.

of East Sussex last Sunday, is looking into the possibility

:11:49.:11:54.

that it may have been caused by emissions from shipwrecks

:11:55.:11:57.

The beach at Birling Gap, near Eastbourne, was closed

:11:58.:12:02.

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency is now investigating,

:12:03.:12:05.

A mysterious mist which engulfed holidaymakers in East Sussex.

:12:06.:12:12.

It led to Birling Gap Beach, near Beachy Head, being evacuated,

:12:13.:12:17.

after people reported having irritated eyes, sore

:12:18.:12:19.

And then, as we came off the beach, then it really kind of hit,

:12:20.:12:28.

and we were all kind of coughing a little bit.

:12:29.:12:31.

And my children were really, really upset,

:12:32.:12:35.

because their eyes were really painful.

:12:36.:12:36.

Coastguard rescue teams raced to help clear the area,

:12:37.:12:40.

but by the end of Sunday evening, around 150 people had to be treated,

:12:41.:12:44.

Sussex Police said those who required treatment experienced

:12:45.:12:51.

Monitoring equipment was used at the time to try

and identify the cause, but the readings were inconclusive.

:13:00.:13:03.

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency now think the gas may have come

:13:04.:13:06.

from one of the many shipwrecks in the English Channel.

:13:07.:13:10.

It is also investigating discharges from passing ships or lost cargo

Tennis star Serena Williams has given birth to a baby girl

:13:14.:13:23.

News of the birth came as Auntie Venus prepared to go out

:13:24.:13:37.

Congratulations have been pouring in from sports

:13:38.:13:40.

stars and celebrities, including Beyonce, Rafa Nadal,

Crowds at the Bournemouth Air Festival have been wowed by one

:13:45.:13:47.

of the world's first aero-pyrotechnic display teams.

:13:48.:13:55.

These are great pictures from overnight.

:13:56.:13:57.

These are pictures of the 'twister' duo,

:13:58.:13:59.

who have been putting on a spectacular

:14:00.:14:01.

Look at that! The lights on the plains and coming out of the back as

:14:02.:14:08.

well. They ducked and dived,

:14:09.:14:08.

illuminating the sky, whilst thousands of people watched

:14:09.:14:10.

from below. I don't think I've ever heard one of

:14:11.:14:16.

those displays at night before, a whole new world of possibilities!

:14:17.:14:18.

Amazing. It is 8.14. Monsoon rains in South Asia have

:14:19.:14:26.

caused some of the worst flooding the region has seen in a decade,

:14:27.:14:29.

leaving an area the size With 41 million people affected,

:14:30.:14:31.

The British Red Cross has launched Its teams have been on the ground

:14:32.:14:40.

in India, Bangladesh and Nepal since the flooding began

:14:41.:14:44.

two weeks ago. Let's find out what stage the relief

:14:45.:14:52.

effort is out. Let's talk to Alex Carle

:14:53.:14:54.

from the charity, who's Thank you for talking to us this

:14:55.:15:03.

morning. Can you tell us what your teams are doing, which areas they

:15:04.:15:07.

are focusing on, wed the devastation is worst?

:15:08.:15:12.

So, there is more than 1800 Red Cross volunteers across the three

:15:13.:15:16.

countries, while working to find the missing and to repatriate people

:15:17.:15:21.

with their families. Today people to emergency shelters, to provide them

:15:22.:15:24.

with safe, clean drinking water, food, shelter, temporary shelter and

:15:25.:15:31.

then food and clothing. We were talking to our reporter who is in

:15:32.:15:38.

north India. He was saying this time around, we have reported on flooding

:15:39.:15:42.

in the region before, the death toll is lower, still high at 40 million,

:15:43.:15:52.

but the response from the governments has been better. Would

:15:53.:15:56.

you say that is what you are witnessing as well? Yes, absolutely.

:15:57.:16:00.

Flooding does happen in this region, in these regions on a regular basis

:16:01.:16:04.

but this is definitely at a much greater scale than what we have seen

:16:05.:16:08.

recently. You can imagine that in Bangladesh more than a third of the

:16:09.:16:13.

country is affected and underwater, and how that might feel in the

:16:14.:16:16.

United Kingdom if that scale of devastation happened across the

:16:17.:16:22.

country. So who trains are out, roads are blocked, bridges have been

:16:23.:16:28.

damaged. More than 1000 schools are now closed, medical centres are

:16:29.:16:31.

affected by the flooding as well, even though there is increased need

:16:32.:16:34.

for medical services. More than a million homes have been affected by

:16:35.:16:38.

the floods as well. This is an incredible scale of disaster.

:16:39.:16:45.

How are the governments reacting across the region? For Bangladesh

:16:46.:16:50.

government is trying to control the water flow. There has been a lot of

:16:51.:16:54.

preparation. The Red Cross across the three countries works in these

:16:55.:16:58.

areas, to reduce the risks when flooding happens but this has

:16:59.:17:02.

surpassed the expected levels. The governments are responding, along

:17:03.:17:06.

with the Red Cross volunteers, to help people in the short-term, to

:17:07.:17:09.

bring them to safety, but also to look in the longer term about how to

:17:10.:17:13.

reduce the risks in the future and how to reduce the risk of cholera

:17:14.:17:17.

and further disease outbreaks affecting even more people in the

:17:18.:17:25.

short-term. With so many people displaced, where are they going,

:17:26.:17:27.

what kind of temporary accommodation or permanent accommodation have they

:17:28.:17:31.

been directed to? In the different countries, there are so many people

:17:32.:17:34.

communities affected, it will be different in different places. Some

:17:35.:17:38.

people are having to make shift their own accommodation, others will

:17:39.:17:42.

be living in homes. People will be opening their doors. On the

:17:43.:17:46.

governments will be clearing some areas, trying to provide

:17:47.:17:50.

accommodation for them in the short-term. Tarpaulins are being

:17:51.:17:56.

distributed, to help provide cover from the shelter from Red Cross

:17:57.:18:00.

volunteers. What you need the most, in terms of aid? The British Red

:18:01.:18:06.

Cross has launched an appeal. Funds would help us to provide, to get

:18:07.:18:10.

food out to people as soon as possible. To help the governments to

:18:11.:18:16.

reduce the risk of cholera and other waterborne disease outbreaks, and to

:18:17.:18:20.

help these people to rebuild their lives. There's going to be an impact

:18:21.:18:24.

on the food, because a lot of the food is grown in the most fertile

:18:25.:18:32.

areas on the flood plains, so it will have an impact on food

:18:33.:18:36.

production in these countries for at least the next six months. Funds

:18:37.:18:40.

will help to provide food and fill some of these gaps. Thank you for

:18:41.:18:42.

your time with us this morning. You're watching

:18:43.:18:46.

Breakfast from BBC News. More heavy rain is battering

last burst of summer over the weekend, maybe going camping or

:19:22.:19:29.

doing some sport. Blue skies? Just a burst of summer, sort of. It

:19:30.:19:34.

is not going to be that spectacular as far as temperatures go this

:19:35.:19:38.

weekend. But decent enough. A nice bright day. Bright rather than

:19:39.:19:43.

sunny, because some of us will see these fair weather clouds developing

:19:44.:19:46.

and maybe a couple of light showers. Here is the window of fine weather.

:19:47.:19:50.

Here in the Atlantic, a rather large area of cloud that is rolling in our

:19:51.:19:55.

direction and that will bring as a lot of damp weather. Initially

:19:56.:19:57.

tomorrow to western areas and then other parts of the country will get

it. Not in the short term, in the short term we have this fine

:20:03.:20:12.

summer... It is still summer but 1st of September is meteorological

:20:13.:20:15.

autumn. We're well into that now. As far as this afternoon is concerned,

:20:16.:20:19.

fine weather in the North of Scotland down to the south coast of

:20:20.:20:22.

England. Temperatures are more or less the same wherever you are,

:20:23.:20:26.

weather you are Belfast, Aberystwyth, Nottingham, down into

:20:27.:20:33.

brighten, all around 17-19. London always a little warmer. I mentioned

:20:34.:20:37.

a couple of showers in the south-east, that is pretty much it.

:20:38.:20:43.

Here comes the rain, quite heavy at this stage but the thing about this

:20:44.:20:47.

rain band is as it moves from west to east, this weather front will be

:20:48.:20:52.

very slow, but also it is going to start to sort of break up a little

:20:53.:20:56.

bit. The rain will get less and less heavy. I think in the end what we

:20:57.:21:00.

will end up with is overcast skies across many areas. That rain is

:21:01.:21:04.

starting to break up a little bit and become a bit more patchy. It

:21:05.:21:08.

gives us an indication it won't be raining all the time tomorrow, it

:21:09.:21:15.

will be burst of rain and many eastern areas will probably stayed

:21:16.:21:18.

right right through the course of the afternoon. Places like Hull and

:21:19.:21:20.

Norwich. Even later in the day the sun might come out, for example in

:21:21.:21:24.

Belfast. He is a summary for the weekend. Today's the day to do it if

:21:25.:21:28.

you are out and about, sunny Saturday, and tomorrow the umbrellas

:21:29.:21:31.

out. A bit of both, just like this picture, some sunshine

:21:32.:21:32.

and the umbrellas! Thank you very much indeed. It is a 21 AM. Time for

:21:33.:21:43.

a look at the Saturday morning papers.

:21:44.:21:45.

Mike Barton, the Chief Constable of Durham Police is here to tell us

:21:46.:21:48.

Good morning. We're going to dive straight in. This is a debate we had

:21:49.:21:57.

yesterday or the day before... It all blends into one.

:21:58.:22:02.

The RAF opening combat roles to females. We had a debate about if

:22:03.:22:06.

infantrymen would feel safe with women next to them on the front line

:22:07.:22:10.

and whether women were physically capable or as strong to be able to

:22:11.:22:17.

have close combat and take an an enemy, a man, bigger than

:22:18.:22:21.

themselves. I am having some difficulty because

:22:22.:22:25.

I have never been in the Army. I was an RAF cadet. But policewomen, women

:22:26.:22:34.

police officers, have been in the front line for decades and they've

:22:35.:22:37.

proven themselves over decades to be as equipped as men. And they have

:22:38.:22:44.

violent situations to deal with. So I have difficulty with this. All I

:22:45.:22:48.

would do is reassure the doubters, to say try it, because I think you'd

:22:49.:22:52.

be surprised just how effective women can be. I'm going to play

:22:53.:22:57.

devils advocate. One of the many arguments that comes are that if you

:22:58.:23:03.

are a male serving officer, let's say a police officer, and you can

:23:04.:23:06.

tell us from your experience, and you are with a female police officer

:23:07.:23:10.

and in a violent situation, your instinct is to protect the smaller,

:23:11.:23:15.

weaker, physically weaker female. Therefore it distracts you from

:23:16.:23:19.

doing your job. That is one of the arguments. Has anyone ever said that

:23:20.:23:23.

to you? It is really interesting, this. Most of our officers are

:23:24.:23:28.

assaulted when there are more than one of them. So if you actually look

:23:29.:23:34.

at the injuries... If an officer is on their Rome, they are less likely

:23:35.:23:39.

to be solved it. Our analysis says that is because they adopt a

:23:40.:23:44.

slightly different approach to that. So the more aggressively that you

:23:45.:23:48.

attend situation, the more likely you are afterwards to be assaulted.

:23:49.:23:53.

So what we finding is it is communication skills that are the

:23:54.:23:56.

key when it comes to policing. That is why I had that caveat at the

:23:57.:24:03.

start, that I have never been in the army, and clearly there are some

:24:04.:24:06.

army situations where you can't talk your way out of it, you have to

:24:07.:24:09.

shoot your way out of it. We have armed officers who are female as

:24:10.:24:14.

well. I have absolutely never come across any situation where I have

:24:15.:24:18.

had any doubt about the effectiveness of policewomen. I do

:24:19.:24:22.

know people say that. All I am saying is, my experience, it's just

:24:23.:24:26.

not the case. I think there are gender stereotypes just underneath,

:24:27.:24:32.

and people are saying, people have different bodies and all that sort

:24:33.:24:35.

of thing. I'm not buying it, frankly, absolutely not.

:24:36.:24:42.

Interesting. Let's to this story from the Times. Utility companies,

:24:43.:24:46.

gas, electricity and phone companies eating up the road than it can take

:24:47.:24:50.

weeks and causes traffic jams. The government are talking about

:24:51.:24:55.

charging them, ?2500 an hour in some cases to try and give them a bit of

:24:56.:25:00.

an incentive. I am going for the popular vote here and hoping

:25:01.:25:03.

everyone is cheering at home that I have picked this story. It is just

:25:04.:25:07.

really, it makes you cross, doesn't it? When the roads are blocked and

:25:08.:25:14.

it's all empty. I remember when John Major, the Prime Minister, talked

:25:15.:25:21.

about traffic cones. Seriously, this is burning up the roads. Of course,

:25:22.:25:26.

when you have Stationery traffic you also increase pollution. The one

:25:27.:25:29.

thing I have always questioned is why are these pipes under the road?

:25:30.:25:34.

Why can't they be under the side of the road? I'm sure there is a

:25:35.:25:38.

perfectly reasonable explanation, but I would like somebody to think

:25:39.:25:41.

about putting the gas pipes... That would be a big job, moving the

:25:42.:25:46.

pipes. You would only have to do it one. Lots of people getting in touch

:25:47.:25:52.

saying you charge the utility companies ?2500, it is the customers

:25:53.:25:55.

of them that end up paying it because the bills go up and stop

:25:56.:25:58.

Kerry you are probably right. This is a favourite of ours, it has made

:25:59.:26:04.

me quite sad. End of the line for Yellow Pages imprint. Tell us what

:26:05.:26:10.

you have picked this out. I didn't realise that the Yellow Pages only

:26:11.:26:14.

started in 1966 but has been with us over 50 years. It is just something

:26:15.:26:20.

that everybody has in their home, don't make? I have to say, I do miss

:26:21.:26:25.

if something goes wrong at home and you need a plumber, and electrician

:26:26.:26:28.

or anything like that, it was just really helpful to go to that page in

:26:29.:26:33.

the book. I know people are saying they are going online and things

:26:34.:26:36.

like that, but I just sometimes have a worry when you are online that you

:26:37.:26:41.

are being pushed to people who may have paid for the advert. Where as

:26:42.:26:44.

you just at that time to settle on people who you might have wanted

:26:45.:26:48.

locally. We will talk to you again in an hour. A random question, do

:26:49.:26:54.

you like mushrooms? I'm allergic to mushrooms, I'm so sorry! Oh no,

:26:55.:26:58.

you're so not the right person to talk to about this next item! I will

:26:59.:27:07.

tell you why. Matt is with us. He is in charge of Saturday Morning

:27:08.:27:16.

Kitchen. Our newspaper reviewer is allergic to mushrooms! A great

:27:17.:27:20.

start. You couldn't make it up! We are a bit upset because this is the

:27:21.:27:27.

best we have for our breakfast. We like mushrooms. I don't know if you

:27:28.:27:31.

can see that... Mushrooms on toast for breakfast. It is pretty

:27:32.:27:35.

glamorous. You are mushroom overloading!

:27:36.:27:42.

You are a fun guy... You will be doing mushrooms all day!

:27:43.:27:46.

Yes, we are, they are bang in season. We have a little Rick Stein

:27:47.:27:50.

treaty coming up later on. Mushrooms are in season so we are going to do

:27:51.:27:54.

something with that. You have caught as in mid-flow, here about an hour

:27:55.:27:59.

earlier than usual! We just had a lovely grouse recipe from Tom,

:28:00.:28:04.

delicious. We had the madness earlier, drinking beer. We have

:28:05.:28:12.

Michaela with her nice lipstick on in the background! We are setting up

:28:13.:28:18.

to rip dill hearse heaven and hell. This is what we're up to whilst

:28:19.:28:21.

you're the sofa reading out the news.

:28:22.:28:28.

We do more than that! Can you do better... With all due respect to

:28:29.:28:34.

the BBC canteen in Salford, it's excellent. What could you do with

:28:35.:28:37.

mushrooms for us question I can reset your challenge? Something a

:28:38.:28:44.

bit more exciting than that? That is why we are here and have a

:28:45.:28:48.

live TV show to do that. We have some great shots here and lots of

:28:49.:28:53.

ideas. One up the anti? Why not ask the viewers for their recipe ideas,

:28:54.:28:57.

how about that? They could send it into hashtag Saturday kitchen. We

:28:58.:29:01.

can pick one to cook live later on in the what do you think? I think

:29:02.:29:06.

that's a copout, you couldn't think of a decent enough recipe so you

:29:07.:29:10.

have asked the viewers! It is great, we can go down the shops. I have a

:29:11.:29:22.

Ferrari! Send him off and get some ingredients and come back and we can

:29:23.:29:25.

cook one of the viewer's recipes. And you can deliver it to us for

:29:26.:29:32.

lunch? Well, if you like. Manchester is a long way, it might be cold!

:29:33.:29:38.

Let's make sure they send the recipes into hashtag Saturday

:29:39.:29:42.

kitchen. OK, we will see you in an hour. Hope you have tidied the place

:29:43.:29:45.

up by then and are out of the civvies. Fine. This is only come

:29:46.:29:48.

from upstairs and it's cold. Hello, this is Breakfast

:29:49.:30:18.

with Jon Kay and Naga Munchetty. Coming up before 9am,

:30:19.:30:23.

we'll get the weather with Tomasz. It is nice in most places today. It

:30:24.:30:35.

is a bit rubbish tomorrow. That's technical, rubbish.

:30:36.:30:38.

But first a summary of this morning's main news.

:30:39.:30:42.

More heavy rain is falling in the parts of South Asia

:30:43.:30:45.

which were worst affected by this year's monsoon season.

:30:46.:30:49.

It's now believed more than 1,400 people have died and millions

:30:50.:30:52.

Parts of India's financial centre, Mumbai, are under

:30:53.:30:57.

President Trump is to visit Texas again today, to assess the flood

:30:58.:31:06.

He'll fly to Houston where he'll meet survivors and volunteers

:31:07.:31:10.

A chemical plant near the city has exploded after its cooling system

:31:11.:31:15.

Utility companies could be charged by the hour for digging up busy

:31:16.:31:24.

roads in England under plans being put forward by the Government.

:31:25.:31:27.

Ministers hope the policy would force contractors

:31:28.:31:29.

to speed up repairs or carry out work at

:31:30.:31:31.

Trials in London and Kent have indicated that firms avoided working

:31:32.:31:35.

The investigation into the chemical cloud which affected parts

:31:36.:31:45.

of East Sussex last Sunday is looking into the possibility

:31:46.:31:48.

that it may have been caused by emissions from known shipwrecks

:31:49.:31:51.

The beach at Birling Gap, near Eastbourne, was closed

:31:52.:31:55.

Around 150 people had to be treated with others reporting discomfort.

:31:56.:31:59.

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency is now investigating.

:32:00.:32:07.

Tennis star Serena Williams has given birth to a baby girl

:32:08.:32:11.

News of the birth came as her sister Venus prepared to go out

:32:12.:32:21.

Congratulations have been pouring in from sports stars

:32:22.:32:26.

and celebrities including Beyonce, Rafa Nadal and ladies Wimbledon

:32:27.:32:28.

The Yellow Pages telephone directory will be printed

:32:29.:32:38.

Remember this? I don't suppose you have a copy of Life Fishing by JR

:32:39.:32:53.

Hartley. It is rather old. It is by JR Hartley.

:32:54.:33:06.

Well-known for its 1980s advertising campaign featuring

:33:07.:33:09.

the fictional author J.R Hartley, who managed to find an out-of-print

:33:10.:33:13.

book, the Yellow Pages has been in production for 51 years.

:33:14.:33:22.

Can you keep it for me? My name? Oh, yes, it is JR Hartley. I love it.

:33:23.:33:38.

We've upset someone in morning? Who? Just the one. This is David Hartley.

:33:39.:33:42.

Good morning Mike, good morning Dan. Good morning David. This is David

:33:43.:33:48.

Hartley. He says he spent many years having to put up with cracks about

:33:49.:33:55.

that advert even one from the SA embassy in Scotland in 1990 during

:33:56.:33:59.

an inquiry. Just as people were starting to forget, he says, you

:34:00.:34:02.

have to drag it up again this morning! Should I get of the person

:34:03.:34:09.

responsible for that I could happily throttle he or she. Cheesed off DHH.

:34:10.:34:17.

Every time he picks up the phone he says, "I'm DH Hartley."

:34:18.:34:24.

It goes back to America. 1883. It was printed in America. They didn't

:34:25.:34:30.

have enough White Paper and they did it on yellow paper. They had so many

:34:31.:34:41.

uses. You used to see how many pages you could tear through! Tracey said

:34:42.:34:51.

she used to take them outside and make a stage and she and her friend

:34:52.:34:59.

would perform dances on them. 101 uses for the Yellow Pages.

:35:00.:35:06.

Let's talk about the football, Dan. Scotland get the award for the best

:35:07.:35:10.

performance. I was flicking between the games last night. England was a

:35:11.:35:16.

desperate performance. Scotland defensively they shored up in their

:35:17.:35:21.

game against Leut yan and it is really important they maintain that

:35:22.:35:24.

momentum and try and stay in with a shout of trying to get through

:35:25.:35:29.

qualifying for Russia next year. A big game against Malta in a few

:35:30.:35:35.

days' time. A 3-0 win. Relief for Gordon Strachan who has been under

:35:36.:35:39.

Britishure. They may still live to regret the points they dropped. It

:35:40.:35:43.

could be too little, too late because they have to rely on England

:35:44.:35:48.

beating Slovakia. We can hear from Gordon Strachan who is pleased.

:35:49.:36:01.

Do you think we can win? Yes, I think we can win.

:36:02.:36:04.

Did I think we would have that many attempts at goals?

:36:05.:36:09.

It was a game where our attack came from different angles,

:36:10.:36:13.

If you looked at the score, you would have thought job done. It

:36:14.:36:23.

could have been 2-0 up within four or five minutes. It is one of those

:36:24.:36:25.

games where they are really strong at the back. They are not a

:36:26.:36:30.

particularly good side Malta, we know that. That should be an easy

:36:31.:36:34.

game and the goals came really late in the match. At the end you think

:36:35.:36:40.

4-0, that's fine, but it is the fact that Malta managed to frustrate

:36:41.:36:44.

England for so long in that game and you can see why fans are getting

:36:45.:36:46.

miffed after last night's performance. What about the fact

:36:47.:36:52.

that England could turn around its frustration and score four goals?

:36:53.:36:57.

That's the positive that Gareth Southgate will put on it. I heard

:36:58.:37:02.

him speaking. I'll shut up and you listen to Gareth Southgate because

:37:03.:37:03.

he has been in this position before. Of course, we would like to have

:37:04.:37:09.

scored our goals earlier. If we had scored our goals earlier

:37:10.:37:11.

tonight, it would have helped For me, that is the benefit

:37:12.:37:14.

of having played for England, because I have been involved

:37:15.:37:18.

in nights like this before. I have seen other

:37:19.:37:22.

managers go through it. I have been on the pitch

:37:23.:37:24.

when we haven't scored loads of goals, against teams

:37:25.:37:27.

who are supposedly minnows, Northern Ireland won in San Marino.

:37:28.:37:38.

They only need a point to guarantee the play-offs. That's a great

:37:39.:37:44.

performance. It is another amazing campaign and carrying on from what

:37:45.:37:52.

we have seen in recent seasons. This is Charlton. I'm hijacking your

:37:53.:37:59.

sports bulletin. Josh McGuinness got two and Stephen Davis got a penalty

:38:00.:38:05.

as well. We need to talk about Wales and Austria tonight. We will have

:38:06.:38:09.

insight into how important Wales' campaign is considering how well

:38:10.:38:13.

they did in the Euros. When was that now? Last year. You were there! I

:38:14.:38:21.

know! We had the Olympics in between that as well. We we have got John

:38:22.:38:27.

Walters talking about the Republic of Ireland who take on Georgia today

:38:28.:38:30.

and probably the moves that didn't go through as well as those that

:38:31.:38:41.

did. We have got an update on the game for Grenfell. So we will

:38:42.:38:46.

feature that today and Forest Green Rovers, now, they are a team that

:38:47.:38:52.

breaks the mould. Can I ask where Forest Green Rovers is from? Forest

:38:53.:39:02.

of Dean. I don't want e-mails about me not knowing! It is unconventional

:39:03.:39:09.

because they were taken over by the owner who is in green energy. They

:39:10.:39:13.

don't have any meat at the ground. It is ve began food. They travel in

:39:14.:39:18.

an economically friendly way. They are trying to build a new stadium

:39:19.:39:22.

made out of wood. They don't want concrete in the stadium. They are in

:39:23.:39:28.

league football for the first time. Mark has been to see them and it is

:39:29.:39:32.

a really interesting insight into how to do football differently. You

:39:33.:39:41.

like your golf, Dan. We have got professional crazy golf coming up.

:39:42.:39:45.

It is just putting ought the time. I take it you have been out and about.

:39:46.:39:50.

There'll be no British interest in the second week of the US Open

:39:51.:39:53.

after Kyle Edmund was forced to retire in his third round clash

:39:54.:39:56.

The match was evenly poised at a set all

:39:57.:40:00.

with both players getting into the rhythm.

:40:01.:40:03.

But just as the contest was heating up, Edmund called for the physio,

:40:04.:40:06.

He returned to the court briefly, losing the third set,

:40:07.:40:09.

before reluctantly retiring at the start of the fourth.

:40:10.:40:15.

Do you carry on to the end, but you just go through

:40:16.:40:22.

And you don't want to pull out straightaway.

:40:23.:40:29.

You want to see is this going to get better?

:40:30.:40:31.

But ultimately, I thought, I'm not going to win two

:40:32.:40:34.

I knew that I wasn't going to win two more sets feeling like that.

:40:35.:40:45.

Maria Sharapova has made it through to the fourth round,

:40:46.:40:48.

in her first Grand Slam event since returning to the game,

:40:49.:40:51.

The 2006 champion, beat teenage American, Sofia Kenin,

:40:52.:40:57.

on the main show court so the Arthur Ashe Court

:40:58.:40:59.

where she's plyed all three of her matches,

:41:00.:41:01.

And afterwards she hit back at Caroline Wozniacki's complaints,

:41:02.:41:04.

that Sharapova gets favourable treatment, when it comes

:41:05.:41:06.

With regards to scheduling as you know I don't make the schedule and

:41:07.:41:17.

you know I'm a pretty big competitor and if you put me out in the parking

:41:18.:41:22.

lot of Queen's in New York City I'm happy to play there. That's not what

:41:23.:41:26.

matters to me. All that matters to me is I'm in the fourth round and

:41:27.:41:34.

I'm not sure where she is. Such a stinging comment from

:41:35.:41:35.

Sharapova. The domestic rugby union season got

:41:36.:41:40.

off to a pulsating start last night with Gloucester scoring a last

:41:41.:41:44.

minute try to beat defending The game was level at 21-21,

:41:45.:41:46.

and heading for a draw, when Gloucester full back

:41:47.:41:50.

Jason Woodward popped up in the 82nd minute, of the game,

:41:51.:41:52.

to snatch an opening day victory. In the nights other Premiership

:41:53.:41:55.

game, Newcastle beat Worcester 35-8. The expanded Pro 14 also

:41:56.:41:58.

got underway last night and it was an impressive

:41:59.:42:00.

start for Ulster. They beat league debutants

:42:01.:42:04.

the South African side All Black, Charles Pee-a-tow,

:42:05.:42:06.

scoring one of Ulster's six tries. There were also wins,

:42:07.:42:11.

for Edinburgh and Munster. I am sure all of us would have

:42:12.:42:15.

played crazy golf at some point. But did you know if you're good

:42:16.:42:24.

enough, you can turn professional. The world championships

:42:25.:42:27.

took place in Hastings, earlier this summer and the British

:42:28.:42:29.

team, leave for Croatia this week for the world

:42:30.:42:31.

adventure golf masters. Earlier this summer they came

:42:32.:42:40.

flocking to the home of crazy golf at Hastings which has hosted the

:42:41.:42:43.

World Championship for the last 15 years. It may not be St Andrew's,

:42:44.:42:49.

but attention to detail is just the same. They do have some of the most

:42:50.:42:56.

challenging including the water mill. While for most of us it is

:42:57.:43:01.

just a bit of fun on holiday, some like three time champion Chris here

:43:02.:43:06.

take it very seriously indeed. A lot of people say crazy golf, but when

:43:07.:43:10.

they come and try it and see how skilful it can be. You can go around

:43:11.:43:14.

the country opening courses and advertising crazy golf video games

:43:15.:43:18.

I've done in the past. So you get to play internationally as well. At

:43:19.:43:21.

least in miniature golf you don't have to worry about big tee shots

:43:22.:43:26.

and the power of your shot and it is about the putting, isn't it? It is

:43:27.:43:30.

about the putting. He has got past the blades or the arms of the

:43:31.:43:36.

windmill. It is a risk. It is a blustery day so the windmill is apt

:43:37.:43:41.

today. Has it gone through? Oh, it went through, but too long. Mini

:43:42.:43:46.

golf started in the USA in the 1920s when rooftop courses popped up

:43:47.:43:49.

everywhere in New York. It was an easy way for inner city golfers to

:43:50.:43:54.

improve their putting. They come from over the world to compete

:43:55.:43:58.

including Olivia from the Czech Republic who won in 2013 and turned

:43:59.:44:02.

professional when she was aged seven and perhaps why Olivia was crowned

:44:03.:44:06.

world champion again this summer. I started playing when I was three

:44:07.:44:11.

years old. I like it. It is my job. And my life. It is part of a world

:44:12.:44:20.

scene now in crazy golf. Our Great Britain team are going over to

:44:21.:44:25.

Croatia to play in the world golf masters. We play against people

:44:26.:44:29.

across the world. America have a team. There is this whole domestic

:44:30.:44:34.

and international scene, but the world crazy golf championship, there

:44:35.:44:38.

is nothing like it. It is so unique. The World Championship which offers

:44:39.:44:41.

a ?1,000 prize is open to amateurs too using whatever they can find,

:44:42.:44:44.

but it is the professionals who go on to represent Great Britain at the

:44:45.:44:55.

masters in Croatia. For all of us, crazy golf can be oh so frustrating.

:44:56.:45:01.

All the holes are par two, include the helter-skelter. Could it go? No!

:45:02.:45:03.

Can I have that? It bubbled out. So close to a hole in one!

:45:04.:45:20.

I love the idea that you can putt with anything. So you could putt

:45:21.:45:27.

with a stick of celery? I don't think you'd find the professionals

:45:28.:45:33.

doing that with a guitar. You need 11 hole in ones. The courses are so

:45:34.:45:38.

random and different. It just takes practise. I think I'd go mad. You'd

:45:39.:45:51.

go crazy! I have had 11 in my entire life in crazy golf. I love golf. You

:45:52.:45:57.

love golf. You enjoy golf. I do. It's all right. How much do you love

:45:58.:46:09.

golf? I prefer other things! I'm not a big golfer. I know you love golf.

:46:10.:46:14.

I know I'm in the minority. I'm not good with aiming. I can't even play

:46:15.:46:20.

pool to be honest. You're good at the weather! Yeah, I'm good at other

:46:21.:46:25.

things as well, you know! Like what? Are you sure?

:46:26.:46:32.

LAUGHTER We're saving you. You can do the

:46:33.:46:36.

weather and we'll shut up with our nonsense. I bet these are straw

:46:37.:46:44.

bales, I have been corrected before. Oh, was I corrected! You're not good

:46:45.:46:51.

at that either. These are straw bales, they tweeted me last time.

:46:52.:46:56.

Ways in trouble. She is giggling. They all are in fact. Let's move on

:46:57.:47:00.

with the weather. That's what I'm here to do. We have got fine

:47:01.:47:05.

weather. The clouds are rolling in. So tomorrow not such a great day

:47:06.:47:08.

because the cloud will be over us. If you can get out there today,

:47:09.:47:12.

enjoy the fine, sunny weather because it will be a good day. A

:47:13.:47:15.

bright day because there will be clouds building through the day.

:47:16.:47:19.

Let's look at the afternoon. This is 4pm. 17 Celsius in Belfast, 18

:47:20.:47:26.

Celsius in Glasgow. We will get 18 Celsius in Newcastle. The winds are

:47:27.:47:30.

light. This time of the year the sun is strong so it should feel

:47:31.:47:34.

pleasant. Notice in the South East, it is off the edge of the screen.

:47:35.:47:37.

This is fine here. But off the edge of the screen you can see a couple

:47:38.:47:46.

of light showers developing here. These are brief ones. Most of us

:47:47.:47:49.

won't catch them. Here comes the rain. The rain could be heavy

:47:50.:47:53.

towards the end of the night or early on Sunday morning in some

:47:54.:47:58.

western areas particularly Ascot hills of Wales. It could be heavy

:47:59.:48:02.

for a time in Northern Ireland and south-western Scotland, but this

:48:03.:48:06.

front slows down a little bit as it rides up this high pressure. That

:48:07.:48:10.

basically means once it starts slowing down it will also start

:48:11.:48:14.

raining itself out so the clouds will start breaking up a little bit

:48:15.:48:17.

so there will be damp weather, but I don't want to give an impression of

:48:18.:48:20.

a wash out tomorrow because it is not going to be a wash out. It is

:48:21.:48:25.

overall a cloudy day with rain on and off, and at times it could be

:48:26.:48:29.

wet, but not all the time. Later in the afternoon and evening the rain

:48:30.:48:32.

pushes further east. I have taken enough of your time. Let's look at

:48:33.:48:37.

the weekend summary, Saturday is the sunniest day and tomorrow most of us

:48:38.:48:42.

will need our brollies. Back to you and your golfing discussions!

:48:43.:48:52.

I stepped on my lead and it has been pulled out. I can't hear you.

:48:53.:49:01.

Anyway, back to you. Thank you. You were right, he's no good. He's

:49:02.:49:04.

brilliant. You've probably heard

:49:05.:49:18.

of campaigns like Dry-January, or Go Sober for October,

:49:19.:49:20.

setup to encourage people to quit And new figures suggest

:49:21.:49:23.

that the number of people who are cutting back

:49:24.:49:26.

on the booze is rising. We'll chat more about this

:49:27.:49:28.

in a moment but first, There is a difference. There is no

:49:29.:49:36.

booze in them. It is because these women are all going alcohol-free. I

:49:37.:49:45.

was a binge drinker. It wouldn't be that I would want to drink every

:49:46.:49:49.

night. But when I did I had no stop button. I always wanted more. No

:49:50.:49:55.

limit. I was like a different person when I was drinking. I had

:49:56.:49:58.

black-outs because I would drink so much. If I went away for a weekend,

:49:59.:50:06.

it was 30 pointst pints. They signed up for a programme, one year, no

:50:07.:50:13.

beer. It is the brainchild of Ray Fairbanks. It was causing trouble.

:50:14.:50:22.

It wasn't that acceptable to be hung over or coming up at 4am. It has

:50:23.:50:26.

seen a ten fold increase in membership this year alone. Its aim

:50:27.:50:31.

is to change the peer pressure around giving up drinking and to

:50:32.:50:35.

give you tactics for being in the pub. You go to the pub, you tip the

:50:36.:50:40.

barman, you puts a non alcoholic beer with lemonade into a pint glass

:50:41.:50:47.

and nobody knows. You have fake looking gin and tonics. With more

:50:48.:50:52.

Brits banishing the booze, sales of non alcoholic drinks are booming. In

:50:53.:50:56.

five years the amount of low or alcohol-free beer sold in the UK has

:50:57.:51:00.

risen by nearly 50%. For these women, getting off the booze is

:51:01.:51:03.

already providing them with many rewards. Things like clarity of

:51:04.:51:08.

thought and quickness of thought. I lost four stone. I train six days a

:51:09.:51:14.

week. I run around like a nutter and everything I want to do, I can go

:51:15.:51:21.

and do. And that's something we can all raise a mocktail to.

:51:22.:51:28.

Joining us now is GP, Dr Amrit Ryatt and David Barnicle,

:51:29.:51:30.

A dry bar sounds like a contradiction in terms. Explains how

:51:31.:51:40.

it works. What's it like if I go there? If you go there, you wouldn't

:51:41.:51:47.

know it is the place that's trying to do what it does which is provide

:51:48.:51:54.

refuge because it is slap-bang in the middle of the city centre. It is

:51:55.:51:58.

a vibrant place and looks really good. We serve lovely food and we

:51:59.:52:02.

have a massive array of different non alcoholic drinks and loads of

:52:03.:52:07.

events going on. You would just think it is an ordinary social space

:52:08.:52:14.

but it works because it is not only nor people in recovery, people are

:52:15.:52:17.

starting to frequent places like that because people are choosing a

:52:18.:52:21.

different way of socialising. So no wine, no gin, nothing at the bar?

:52:22.:52:29.

No. OK. That's fine. Dr, why do you think places like this are becoming

:52:30.:52:35.

more popular? We often report on how alcohol intake is a problem and

:52:36.:52:39.

people are lying when they go to their GPs and say how much they're

:52:40.:52:43.

taking. Or you are seeing more diseases or more effects of

:52:44.:52:49.

drinking? I think despite people having a better relationship with

:52:50.:52:51.

alcohol on the whole there are still a lot of people who have had

:52:52.:52:56.

struggles with alcohol either through dependence or problematic

:52:57.:52:58.

drinking and the same with drugs and to set up a space where they can get

:52:59.:53:05.

together, support each other, access other services as well, either

:53:06.:53:09.

psychological services we discussed alternative therapy to support them

:53:10.:53:12.

through the next stage of their journey, that's a brilliant idea. So

:53:13.:53:15.

it is good to have the option. It's good to be in a place where you

:53:16.:53:18.

don't feel you have to drink and if you want to have a drink, its good

:53:19.:53:22.

to be able to go for a drink without, welling knowing what your

:53:23.:53:25.

limits are and perhaps drinking in a more responsible way. Does it have

:53:26.:53:34.

to be so specific not drinking? When is it going to get to the point as

:53:35.:53:40.

in you need help or you need to recover? You need guidance as to how

:53:41.:53:45.

not to drink? Is there going to be a point where not drinking is fine?

:53:46.:53:50.

People here say that it is almost embarrassing saying you have given

:53:51.:53:54.

up alcohol because it is like you say you have given up alcohol

:53:55.:53:58.

because you have had a problem? It depends on the experience thaw want

:53:59.:54:03.

when you're going out socially. We are not trying to compete with the

:54:04.:54:07.

night life and what people are hoping to get from those nights. It

:54:08.:54:11.

is offering an alternative and making people see that you can still

:54:12.:54:17.

bond with people and enjoy things without having a drink, but that's

:54:18.:54:22.

not to say that people can't enjoy themselves. It is not a replacement

:54:23.:54:26.

and it doesn't have to go to the extreme. Someone has been in touch

:54:27.:54:31.

on Twitter saying having seen the film that the ladies sitting around

:54:32.:54:36.

drinking the mocktails, but how much do they cost? It can be just as

:54:37.:54:41.

expensive and sometimes more expensive to go for the non

:54:42.:54:46.

alcoholic alternative especially when they are full of fut juice?

:54:47.:54:54.

There is cheaper alternatives for healthy things as well. Soft drinks

:54:55.:54:58.

like lemonade and things like that, they are probably cheaper than a

:54:59.:55:06.

mocktail, but there is no alcohol. I think cost is an implication we

:55:07.:55:10.

mentioned before about university freshers not spending as much on

:55:11.:55:14.

alcohol and seeing different age groups spending less on alcohol

:55:15.:55:17.

because their budgets are tighter. So the positive effect of that is

:55:18.:55:22.

they are healthier I guess, but for me as a GP I would be keen for

:55:23.:55:27.

people to be doing it for other reasons for health motivated reasons

:55:28.:55:31.

rather than be stuck with no option and I would encourage people to try

:55:32.:55:34.

and find a more moderate path. I don't think people should be forced

:55:35.:55:39.

to drink nothing, but if that works for them, great or to be, the other

:55:40.:55:46.

extreme we don't want that either because that's got health

:55:47.:55:51.

implications, everyone could learn from moderating things better. You

:55:52.:55:55.

included? Me included. It is good to hear that the doctors are human.

:55:56.:56:01.

Graham says he has given up alcoholment he didn't need a support

:56:02.:56:09.

group and has lost weight. Are disease and January busy times? They

:56:10.:56:12.

are. It is just as busy as any other. There is a rise with people

:56:13.:56:18.

trying to do it for the first time. It is changing habits, isn't it? It

:56:19.:56:25.

is changing habits. Yeah, it is just about trying something and I mean I

:56:26.:56:31.

think the difference is as well with the alcohol, that's the centre of

:56:32.:56:35.

favourite TV shows, running But most of the programmes

I wasn't at that wedding. I seem to remember

quite a lot about it. I think it was the first

to have been lost forever. In many ways this is a quite

:58:40.:58:43.

a Holy Grail for Crossroads fans. Some of the footage

was very mixed up. Some cans would have footage

More heavy rain is falling in South Asia where this year's

Our South Asia Correspondent Justin Rowlatt is in

:01:58.:02:00.

the eastern state of Bihar, one of the worst affected areas.

:02:01.:02:07.

Justin, we have been speaking to you throughout the morning, and rain on

:02:08.:02:16.

and off, still coming down, obviously? Yes, it is still raining.

:02:17.:02:23.

We took a walk outside of the compound we are in at the moment and

:02:24.:02:28.

we walked down the road and actually floods have risen just from the

:02:29.:02:31.

small amount of rain that we have had this morning. I think that gives

:02:32.:02:34.

you a sense of just how vulnerable these areas are. The ground is

:02:35.:02:38.

waterlogged. Even small amounts of rain means floods rise once again.

:02:39.:02:44.

We are here in a city. Imagine what it is like for a villager in a mud

:02:45.:02:49.

hut beside a river. Imagine how vulnerable they are. That is how

:02:50.:02:52.

tens of millions of people still live in this part of India.

:02:53.:02:57.

Tell us about what the relief operation has been like, and how the

:02:58.:03:03.

governments are reacting to these millions of displaced people?

:03:04.:03:15.

Millions, 41 million people affected. 12 million here in Bihar,

:03:16.:03:20.

that homes have been destroyed or badly damaged. It is an absolutely

:03:21.:03:25.

huge kind of humanitarian issue. Governments here have got better at

:03:26.:03:29.

dealing with floods, big floods do happen every now and then in this

:03:30.:03:33.

region. In the past, deaths tended to be much higher. So we would see

:03:34.:03:38.

many thousands of dead, so the figure of 1400 whilst shocking a

:03:39.:03:41.

very high, is better than it has been in the past. I guess, in a way,

:03:42.:03:46.

it tells us governments are getting better. At the same time, what an

:03:47.:03:49.

extraordinary figure. Clearly something is not going right here.

:03:50.:03:55.

Partly it is the scale of what happened, partly it is the poverty

:03:56.:03:57.

of the people affected, partly it's the fact emergency services are not

:03:58.:04:01.

well equipped or supported, don't have things like boats which are

:04:02.:04:04.

more readily available in places like America. And hospitals, which

:04:05.:04:09.

now have to deal with all sorts of waterborne diseases, they are

:04:10.:04:12.

stretched at the best of times and they are pushed even harder when

:04:13.:04:16.

they have a huge influx of people as they are expecting an already have

:04:17.:04:24.

across India and the region. It is awful. Justin, thank you very much.

:04:25.:04:29.

One of the shocking things is when you hear about the amount of land

:04:30.:04:33.

under water, it is the size of the UK under water in that region.

by the hour for digging up busy roads, when they work

on improving their infrastructure - this under plans being put forward

:06:32.:06:33.

by the Government. Ministers hope the policy

:06:34.:06:36.

would force contractors in England to speed up repairs,

:06:37.:06:38.

or carry out work at night to reduce traffic delays

:06:39.:06:40.

caused by their projects. Mile after mile, hour after hour

of delays caused by roadworks. It's thought one in every

:06:43.:06:51.

three of our journeys Around 2.5 million roadworks

:06:52.:06:54.

are carried out every year in England, costing the economy

:06:55.:06:58.

an estimated ?4 billion in lost working hours

:06:59.:07:02.

and delayed deliveries. Utility companies aren't responsible

:07:03.:07:05.

for every excavated carriageway or set of temporary traffic lights,

:07:06.:07:09.

but it's hoped this new scheme may persuade them to carry

:07:10.:07:13.

out their work more quickly or at night, so as to

:07:14.:07:19.

cause less disruption. Under the proposals,

:07:20.:07:21.

councils could charge utility companies up to ?2500 per site

:07:22.:07:23.

to work on roads during the day. When trialled in London back

:07:24.:07:27.

in 2012, this led to a 42% drop in the levels of disruption

:07:28.:07:31.

caused by roadworks. We've been trialling it in London

:07:32.:07:36.

and Kent and it's proved extremely successful,

:07:37.:07:38.

and we estimate that there's been about 600 less incursions

:07:39.:07:41.

into the highway surface So now we're consulting on extending

:07:42.:07:44.

the scheme nationwide. The idea has been cautiously

:07:45.:07:53.

welcomed by the AA and the RAC, but they've warned that these

changes mustn't lead the works being rushed or slapdash,

crime model. Understanding why it has planted such deep-rooted is a

:09:45.:09:46.

different challenge altogether." She also has a political dig at the

left, saying most of the people on the left are afraid more of being

pictures from Bournemouth. The weather coming up shortly with

Tomasz. First... For nine years, Cardinal

:12:27.:12:30.

Cormac Murphy-O'Connor led the Catholic Church

:12:31.:12:32.

in England and Wales. His death, at the age of 85

:12:33.:12:34.

was announced yesterday. During his life he welcomed

:12:35.:12:36.

Pope John Paul the Second to Britain, took part

:12:37.:12:38.

in the conclave that elected Pope Benedict,

:12:39.:12:41.

and advised Tony Blair during his conversion

:12:42.:12:42.

to Catholicism. Here to discuss his life

:12:43.:12:43.

is the religious affairs Good morning. Good morning. He said

:12:44.:12:59.

he had no fear of what was to come recently. What kind of man was he?

:13:00.:13:05.

Why will he be missed by the Church? He said a good death was due after

:13:06.:13:13.

living a good life. He was very affable. He was born in Reading

:13:14.:13:16.

where his father was a GP but his father was from County Cork in

:13:17.:13:19.

Ireland. He had something of the Irish about him. He loved wine,

:13:20.:13:24.

loved song and music, was a fantastic piano player. He was a

:13:25.:13:28.

safe pair of hands, considered to be a safe pair of hands. They didn't

:13:29.:13:32.

turn out quite like that as he had a baptism of fire after he became

:13:33.:13:38.

Archbishop of Westminster, because of the paedophile scandal around

:13:39.:13:41.

Father Michael hill. He got through that and he learnt a lot from it. He

:13:42.:13:46.

always admitted he made mistakes. As a leader of Catholics in Britain,

:13:47.:13:51.

how will they remember his leadership? He was very likeable and

:13:52.:13:55.

he will be remembered as someone who helped to steer the church through

:13:56.:13:59.

very difficult times. Politically he struggled a little in the political

:14:00.:14:03.

sphere. For example, he was, although he did guide Tony Blair,

:14:04.:14:09.

did receive Tony Blair into the Catholic Church, and he got on well

:14:10.:14:14.

with Tony Blair, there was a problem with the catholic adoption agencies

:14:15.:14:17.

and gay adoption and they sort of fell out a little about that and

:14:18.:14:22.

Catholic adoption agencies had to close as a result of the government

:14:23.:14:26.

policy. He actually got on better with Gordon Brown, really, who he

:14:27.:14:32.

was very close to. He and Tony Blair were close and he received the

:14:33.:14:37.

former Prime Minister into the Catholic Church after he left

:14:38.:14:39.

Downing Street. You knew him and said he was an affable man. The

:14:40.:14:44.

Catholics, as you asked as well, what did he mean to them, in terms

:14:45.:14:51.

of faith? He was a wonderful exemplar of how to live out your

:14:52.:14:56.

faith in the modern world. The big battle in a way the Catholic Church

:14:57.:15:02.

has had, besides the terrible paedophile scandals, is how to cope

:15:03.:15:04.

with a rapidly changing secular world, a world that is becoming, in

:15:05.:15:10.

many parts, distant from the faith. In some ways becoming hostile to it

:15:11.:15:17.

and aggressive to it. He was leading the charge while these battles were

:15:18.:15:20.

starting to be played out in the public sphere, in a way they hadn't

:15:21.:15:27.

been perhaps before. So the Catholics, presented a confident and

:15:28.:15:33.

a kind face. Where his strengths were were in the past oral field. As

:15:34.:15:37.

I say, he was a wonderful and likeable man. He was very friendly

:15:38.:15:41.

and always tried to be kind to people gossiping away, that was the

:15:42.:15:47.

thing that got him into trouble with Michael Hill, this paedophile priest

:15:48.:15:50.

who was known to be a paedophile and there were complaints about him. He

:15:51.:15:56.

was sent off into psychiatric care, into treatment to try and solve the

:15:57.:16:01.

problem. Michael Hill came back on bended knee and begged to be given a

:16:02.:16:05.

job back. Instead of calling the police say no, get lost, you have to

:16:06.:16:13.

leave the priesthood go awake. Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor

:16:14.:16:15.

listened to his pleas for help and gave him a job at Gatwick Airport,

:16:16.:16:21.

where he thought there wasn't any children, where he reoffended and

:16:22.:16:24.

ended up in prison. He found that really difficult to cope with and

:16:25.:16:29.

really struggled. But as he himself said, good came out of it in the

:16:30.:16:35.

end, because Lord Nolan, a Catholic pay-out, saw the trouble he was in

:16:36.:16:39.

and how he was really struggling to cope with this, calls for his

:16:40.:16:45.

resignation he resisted. Lord Nolan called him and said, how can I help?

:16:46.:16:50.

That gave Cormac the idea to set up another commission, which led

:16:51.:16:52.

eventually to the Catholic Church of England and Wales having the world

:16:53.:16:56.

leading standards of child protection. Now it is the best in

:16:57.:16:59.

the whole world and it set a standard for the rest of the

:17:00.:17:03.

Catholic Church, which as we all know as equally struggled with this

:17:04.:17:08.

issue. And continues to. But it is coming through it now. Like Pope

:17:09.:17:14.

Francis, was a good friend of his, didn't vote for him in the conclave.

:17:15.:17:22.

When Francis was made Pope he said to Cormac afterwards, I blame you.

:17:23.:17:26.

LAUGHTER He kind of manipulated for Francis

:17:27.:17:30.

to be Pope in the meetings before the conclave. He was like Francis in

:17:31.:17:34.

his personality. A lovely man, who people loved. All of us who knew him

:17:35.:17:41.

were so fond of him. I have one final thing. I was at his last

:17:42.:17:45.

public occasion when he was a liberating at Saint Mary 's

:17:46.:17:49.

University, a big party for 60th anniversary of his priesthood. He

:17:50.:17:51.

bumped into a female journalist outside his residence and said, so

:17:52.:17:54.

what are you doing here question much she said to him, I've come to

:17:55.:18:00.

write your obituary, Father. He was so full of jokes. It was a very

:18:01.:18:03.

funny story he told and everyone fell about laughing. You saw the

:18:04.:18:08.

funny side? Absolutely. Thank you very much.

:18:09.:18:11.

Tomasz has the weather for us and the sun is shining for today at

:18:12.:18:22.

least? Yes, starting with some lovely green

:18:23.:18:25.

trees and fields. Doesn't it make you want to go run out there with

:18:26.:18:29.

your hands wide open or something like that?! And nice day today, make

:18:30.:18:32.

the most of it because the weather isn't going to hold all weekend. It

:18:33.:18:37.

will turn tomorrow. Thick cloud in the Atlantic. This is today's

:18:38.:18:41.

weather. A little cloud earlier but this is Tamara's weather and it will

:18:42.:18:45.

be in place across the UK in the next 24 hours or so. Let's enjoy a

:18:46.:18:51.

little bit of that sunshine that we have in store for today. It starts

:18:52.:18:56.

off nice, a little nippy because the night was quite chilly, particularly

:18:57.:18:59.

in the countryside. This is what it looks like in the middle of the

:19:00.:19:05.

afternoon, around 3-4. 17 and 18 degrees across the north of the

:19:06.:19:08.

country, the winds are light, a decent amount of sunshine. The sun

:19:09.:19:11.

is still pretty strong at this time of year so it will feel warm enough.

:19:12.:19:16.

Fine weather on the south coast of England and notice around Kent,

:19:17.:19:23.

Sussex, Essex and further north, the chance of a couple of light showers

:19:24.:19:27.

but most of us should miss them. Through this evening it turns wet in

:19:28.:19:31.

Northern Ireland. Early hours of the morning, it starts raining in the

:19:32.:19:35.

South West of England, throughout Wales, just around the Irish Sea,

:19:36.:19:38.

possibly into the Lake District and south-western parts of Scotland.

:19:39.:19:42.

That is the beginning of tomorrow's damp weather. This weather front

:19:43.:19:45.

drifting in off the Atlantic will start very slowly moving across the

:19:46.:19:54.

UK during Sunday. Initially, the morning is looking cloudy if not wet

:19:55.:19:56.

in places. Across western areas. Through the morning and into the

:19:57.:19:59.

afternoon, the band of cloud and rain will move eastwards and there

:20:00.:20:02.

won't be an awful lot of rain around for some most of the heavy rain will

:20:03.:20:06.

fall across the hills. For most of us tomorrow, a cloudy and damp day

:20:07.:20:10.

and it will feel a bit cooler because of that weather. It might

:20:11.:20:14.

turn out that many of these eastern areas, East Anglia and Lincolnshire

:20:15.:20:16.

could stay dry for most of the afternoon.

:20:17.:20:20.

Let's summarise the weekend. Today is definitely the best day of the

:20:21.:20:23.

weekend with some sunshine. Tomorrow, particularly folks out

:20:24.:20:27.

West, will need their umbrellas. Back to you.

:20:28.:20:32.

OK, thank you very much indeed. We will enjoy today whilst we have it.

:20:33.:20:36.

You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:20:37.:20:41.

Time now for a look at the newspapers.

:20:42.:20:43.

Mike Barton, chief constable of Durham police joins us

:20:44.:20:45.

Good morning. You have in Keith Thompson fingers from going through

:20:46.:20:52.

the papers. Let's see what you have picked. -- inky fingers. In the

:20:53.:21:01.

mail, breast-feeding could be the key to getting children to eat their

:21:02.:21:06.

vegetables. Explain? My daughter-in-law is less feeding at

:21:07.:21:09.

the moment and likes her greens, so with a bit of luck Genovese, her

:21:10.:21:13.

baby, will like her greens. What I like about this story, apart from

:21:14.:21:17.

the family connection, is they have scientifically done this. There is

:21:18.:21:22.

far too much in the media and medical profession and elsewhere

:21:23.:21:24.

where people are faddish. What they have done here is a bunch of women

:21:25.:21:31.

drank water and a bunch drank vegetable juice and they tested the

:21:32.:21:34.

kids about eight months on whether they liked vegetables or not. It

:21:35.:21:39.

seemed to be if the mother drank vegetable juice, the kids liked

:21:40.:21:43.

vegetables. What about the ones that had? Presumably they don't like

:21:44.:21:47.

vegetables as much! Do you believe this?

:21:48.:21:51.

The milk has the taste of the vegetables?

:21:52.:21:56.

I am one of six kids. Five of us liked vegetables and one doesn't. I

:21:57.:22:01.

know our mother treated us all the same. But I don't want you to be too

:22:02.:22:07.

sceptical Naga, because someone has to take forward knowledge. At least

:22:08.:22:11.

they have tried to do their best on experimentation. OK.

:22:12.:22:16.

She is not convinced! This in the Times, farming has got

:22:17.:22:21.

to get rid of its tweedy image, update itself. Why?

:22:22.:22:28.

Joanna Price has just taken over at Cirencester. The reason why she

:22:29.:22:31.

became a vet and got into farming was because a vet visited her farm

:22:32.:22:37.

and said, girls don't become vets, so she absolutely did. Everybody

:22:38.:22:45.

looks upon Tweed, I was a farmer before I joined the police. Were

:22:46.:22:52.

you? Yes, a dairy farmer. Did you wear tweed? I did, because it is a

:22:53.:22:58.

rugged cloth, useful. It is warm and hardy. What people have done is look

:22:59.:23:03.

at the fashion image of Tweed when you can put tweed jackets on

:23:04.:23:07.

everyday and they keep out the cold, keep out the rain and you don't have

:23:08.:23:12.

to wash the as frequently. They last for ages, don't they? Absolutely do.

:23:13.:23:17.

There is a serious message yet. I just think, I'm really pleased tweed

:23:18.:23:24.

has got a good image now. And actually, I'm in discussions with my

:23:25.:23:29.

wife if I will be allowed to buy a tweed jackets. She's comfortable in

:23:30.:23:35.

tweed, I want a Harris tweed jacket. You heard it here first! URI, there

:23:36.:23:43.

is a serious message. She wants to widen the appeal of farming to

:23:44.:23:47.

different ethnic and social groups. There is another angle to that

:23:48.:23:52.

story, where it is one of the universities with the lowest

:23:53.:23:57.

percentage of state school pupils, and she's doing something about

:23:58.:24:02.

that. Good luck to her. Saturday morning, lots of people

:24:03.:24:05.

might be thinking about mowing the lawn today.

:24:06.:24:08.

I have to do mine. Isn't it funny, everyone says they don't mind mowing

:24:09.:24:13.

the lawn but everyone dreads it? Look at this, a labour of love. This

:24:14.:24:18.

in the Mirror. Tell us about this picture. Stewart is there. This is

:24:19.:24:26.

how he has his lawn like that, he knows it -- mows twice a day. I bet

:24:27.:24:36.

that is a great putting green! You suggest to him he puts a hole in

:24:37.:24:42.

it! If you came from that house, Jonathan, his baby boy, who is not a

:24:43.:24:45.

baby now, wasn't allowed to play on it because it would have affected

:24:46.:24:49.

the soil. I don't think he would let me take a divot out of it with a

:24:50.:24:53.

pitching wedge! I don't know if Stewart will be watching this... I

:24:54.:24:57.

think you should go for it, it would be an interesting feature. Is a

:24:58.:25:01.

labour of love and we will need our projects. Mowing the lawn 30 hours a

:25:02.:25:04.

week. Have we got time for another one? It

:25:05.:25:10.

would be good if we could. The White helmets, they have gone. They were a

:25:11.:25:15.

talent. We have an annual event at police headquarters bike Wise where

:25:16.:25:21.

10,000 people, they are the central display team for our bike rides. We

:25:22.:25:25.

will have to find something new. If there is anybody watching who does

:25:26.:25:28.

motorcycle display team is, please get in touch with me. There is a

:25:29.:25:33.

great last line to this story, where John McClelland, the team captain,

:25:34.:25:37.

says we don't use motorbikes to move messages around the battlefield any

:25:38.:25:40.

more. Aren't we losing a little bit of colour from life when we don't

:25:41.:25:45.

have these people? Basically they said this doesn't reflect the

:25:46.:25:49.

high-tech on-screen communications in today's conflicts? And it

:25:50.:25:54.

probably cost a bit of money as well. I think sometimes we take

:25:55.:25:58.

austerity too far. It is probably too late to have a rethink, but

:25:59.:26:03.

these are really skilful people and great fun. Thank you very much

:26:04.:26:08.

indeed. Good articles to discussing the pictures.

:26:09.:26:12.

We're on BBC One until 10am, when Matt Tebbutt takes over

:26:13.:26:15.

We were saying earlier if he could come up with some sort of recipe or

:26:16.:26:23.

if the viewers could come up with a recipe for us the mushrooms. But not

:26:24.:26:30.

from Mike because he is allergic! Thanks for that challenge, that's

:26:31.:26:33.

what we needed live on a Saturday morning. Lots of viewers sent in

:26:34.:26:36.

ideas the mushroom recipes and we have picked one foster we went to

:26:37.:26:41.

the shops with our shopping trolley and you can find out what we chose

:26:42.:26:46.

later live. Our special guest today is a brilliant actor and director

:26:47.:26:50.

Jason Fleming. Good to have you here. Good to be here. You will face

:26:51.:26:55.

food heaven and food hell. What is your idea of heaven? . . You can do

:26:56.:27:02.

in so many different ways. Beetroot, love that. Hell is anything that

:27:03.:27:08.

wobbles... Gellay! That's good. We have two great chefs here as well.

:27:09.:27:17.

You are old friends, right? Yes. I'm going to cook a lovely sea bream,

:27:18.:27:22.

lovely and quick. I would tell you later about the crazy water! And

:27:23.:27:28.

Tom? Good morning. I'm going to do a perfect brunch dish, some grouse in

:27:29.:27:33.

breadcrumbs and served on toast with black pudding, fried egg and

:27:34.:27:38.

watercress mayonnaise. We also have Ollie Smith in a lovely coat. It's a

:27:39.:27:47.

jacket. Thank you. Don't forget you guys at home are in charge of

:27:48.:27:53.

Jason's heaven or hell. Lock stock and two smoking barrels for you! All

:27:54.:27:57.

that fun, we will see you at ten o'clock and I guarantee it will be a

:27:58.:28:00.

better mushroom dish than the one you have there.

:28:01.:28:05.

I don't know about that. Does it involve cheese? What about cheese?

:28:06.:28:11.

The mushroom dish? No. It isn't going to be any good. Do you want

:28:12.:28:19.

cheese? Yes, I love a bit of cheese! OK, we'll put a bit of cheese in.

:28:20.:28:28.

Anything else? Tabasco! 9:28am. Coming up for Saturday Kitchen...

:28:29.:28:33.

Comedian and actor Robert Webb will be here to tell us

:28:34.:28:35.

about his memoir How Not to be a Boy, an honest account

:28:36.:28:38.

of his childhood, and what it means to be male in the 21st century.

:28:39.:28:42.

Hello, this is Breakfast with Jon Kay and Naga Munchetty.

:28:43.:29:59.

Coming up before ten we'll get the weather with Tomasz.

:30:00.:30:02.

More heavy rain is falling in the parts of South Asia

:30:03.:30:05.

which were worst affected by this year's monsoon season.

:30:06.:30:09.

It's now believed more than 1400 people have died

:30:10.:30:11.

and millions of people have lost their homes.

:30:12.:30:13.

Parts of India's financial centre, Mumbai, are under

:30:14.:30:15.

President Trump is to visit Texas again today to assess the flood

:30:16.:30:19.

He'll fly to Houston where he'll meet survivors and volunteers

:30:20.:30:24.

A chemical plant near the city has exploded after its cooling system

:30:25.:30:28.

Utility companies could be charged by the hour for digging up busy

:30:29.:30:37.

roads in England under plans being put forward by the Government.

:30:38.:30:40.

Ministers hope the policy would force contractors

:30:41.:30:42.

to speed up repairs or carry out work at

:30:43.:30:45.

Trials in London and Kent have indicated that firms avoided working

:30:46.:30:50.

The investigation into the chemical cloud which affected parts

:30:51.:30:59.

of East Sussex last Sunday is looking into the possibility

:31:00.:31:02.

that it may have been caused by emissions from known shipwrecks

:31:03.:31:04.

The beach at Birling Gap, near Eastbourne, was closed

:31:05.:31:07.

Around 150 people had to be treated with others reporting discomfort.

:31:08.:31:11.

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency is now investigating.

:31:12.:31:20.

Tennis star Serena Williams has given birth to a baby girl

:31:21.:31:23.

News of the birth came as her sister Venus prepared to go out

:31:24.:31:33.

Congratulations have been pouring in from sports stars

:31:34.:31:39.

and celebrities including Beyonce, Rafa Nadal and ladies Wimbledon

:31:40.:31:42.

Baby girl? I hope she doesn't play tennis. I'm very happy for her. I

:31:43.:32:02.

mean, it is such a good moment I'm sure. Well done from us too.

:32:03.:32:05.

The Yellow Pages telephone directory will be printed

:32:06.:32:07.

I don't suppose you have a copy of Flyfishing by JR Hartley.

:32:08.:32:14.

Well-known for its 1980s advertising campaign featuring

:32:15.:32:22.

the fictional author J.R Hartley, who managed to find an out-of-print

:32:23.:32:26.

The Yellow Pages has been in production for 51 years.

:32:27.:32:40.

Although we upset DH Hartley! Lots of Hartleys have been in touch

:32:41.:33:09.

saying "Please stop playing that clip." They say their lives have

:33:10.:33:14.

been ruined by that advert. Paul Hartley, that's P Hartley has got

:33:15.:33:19.

this touch! He said, "Every time he phoned somebody over the last 30

:33:20.:33:23.

years and has been asked his name, he says Paul Hartley and there is a

:33:24.:33:28.

response and they say, "Are you related to JR Hartley?" He says no,

:33:29.:33:34.

I'm not. He just says to people I'm Paul Hartley and before you ask, no,

:33:35.:33:41.

I'm not! You changed Paul's voice. On behalf of the Hartley contingent

:33:42.:33:49.

please stop playing this clip! No! It will be on all day. What about

:33:50.:33:59.

Harty the Hare? Too old for Naga. It has gone way

:34:00.:34:04.

over her head. Sorry about that. I threw that in.

:34:05.:34:07.

So results wise a successful night for the home nations then

:34:08.:34:10.

This was the pick of the goals from Liverpool's Andy Robertson. The win

:34:11.:34:30.

moves Gordon Strachan's side ahead of Slovenia into third place in

:34:31.:34:34.

Group F. Four points off the second placed spot that gets you through to

:34:35.:34:43.

the play-offs. When they say do you think you can

:34:44.:34:45.

win? Yes, we can win. Did I think we would have that

:34:46.:34:52.

many attempts at goals? It was a game where our attack came

:34:53.:34:58.

from different angles, England came away from Malta

:34:59.:35:02.

with a 4-0 win, but perhaps the scoreline was a little

:35:03.:35:06.

flattering with three goals Harry Kane scored twice

:35:07.:35:08.

with Ryan Bertrand and Danny Welbeck Of course, we would like to have

:35:09.:35:12.

scored our goals earlier. If we had scored our goals earlier

:35:13.:35:22.

tonight, it would have helped For me, that is the benefit

:35:23.:35:25.

of having played for England, because I have been involved

:35:26.:35:28.

in nights like this before. I have seen other

:35:29.:35:31.

managers go through it. I have been on the pitch

:35:32.:35:33.

when we haven't scored loads of goals, against teams

:35:34.:35:35.

who are supposedly minnows, Northern Ireland strengthened

:35:36.:35:37.

their grip on second place in their group,

:35:38.:35:45.

thanks to a 3-0 win in San Marino. Josh Magennis scored twice

:35:46.:35:47.

with Southampton's Steven Davis adding another from the penalty

:35:48.:35:49.

spot. Michael O'Neill's side are now seven

:35:50.:35:51.

points clear in second place. Wales may have been surprise

:35:52.:36:00.

semi-finallists at the Euros last year, but they're up against it

:36:01.:36:03.

in their qualification group. They're four points behind

:36:04.:36:07.

the top two - Serbia Chris Coleman's side

:36:08.:36:09.

are are level on points with Austria who they face

:36:10.:36:12.

tonight in Cardiff. I think it will be open. And you

:36:13.:36:21.

know a draw really doesn't thsz doesn't do any of us any good. So

:36:22.:36:25.

something will have to give, you would imagine. But if it is a draw,

:36:26.:36:30.

we have to see what happens elsewhere of course with the other

:36:31.:36:34.

results. This was always going to be a tight group. A tight campaign.

:36:35.:36:39.

Teams are very, very similar. There is three or four teams that are very

:36:40.:36:43.

strong. I have said before I think it will go to the wire.

:36:44.:36:49.

There'll be no British interest in the second week of the US Open

:36:50.:36:52.

after Kyle Edmund was forced to retire in his third round clash

:36:53.:36:55.

The match was evenly poised at a set all with both players

:36:56.:36:59.

But just as the contest was heating up, Edmund called for the physio,

:37:00.:37:03.

He returned to the court briefly, losing the third set,

:37:04.:37:06.

before reluctantly retiring at the start of the fourth.

:37:07.:37:11.

Do you carry on to the end, but you just go through

:37:12.:37:23.

And you don't want to pull out straightaway.

:37:24.:37:27.

You want to see is this going to get better?

:37:28.:37:29.

But ultimately, I thought, I'm not going to win two

:37:30.:37:31.

I knew that I wasn't going to win two more sets feeling like that.

:37:32.:37:38.

Maria Sharapova has made it through to the fourth round

:37:39.:37:40.

in her first Grand Slam event since returning to the game

:37:41.:37:43.

The 2006 champion beat teenage American Sofia Kenin

:37:44.:37:50.

on the main show court so the Arthur Ashe Court where she's

:37:51.:37:53.

plyed all three of her matches, in the tournament so far.

:37:54.:37:55.

And afterwards she hit back at Caroline Wozniacki's complaints,

:37:56.:37:58.

that Sharapova gets favourable treatment when it comes

:37:59.:37:59.

With regards to scheduling, as you know, I don't make

:38:00.:38:04.

the schedule and you know I'm a pretty big competitor

:38:05.:38:09.

and if you put me out in the parking lot of Queen's in New York City I'm

:38:10.:38:13.

All that matters to me is I'm in the fourth round and I'm

:38:14.:38:19.

The domestic rugby union season got off to a pulsating start last night

:38:20.:38:26.

with Gloucester scoring a last minute try to beat defending

:38:27.:38:29.

The game was level at 21-21 and heading for a draw

:38:30.:38:35.

when Gloucester fullback Jason Woodward popped up in the 82nd

:38:36.:38:37.

minute, of the game, to snatch an opening day victory.

:38:38.:38:40.

In the nights other Premiership game, Newcastle beat Worcester 35-8.

:38:41.:38:42.

The expanded Pro 14 also got underway last night

:38:43.:38:45.

and it was an impressive start for Ulster.

:38:46.:38:46.

They beat league debutants the South African side

:38:47.:38:48.

All Black, Charles Piutau scoring one of Ulster's six tries.

:38:49.:38:52.

There were also wins, for Edinburgh and Munster.

:38:53.:38:56.

Wigan returned to winning ways after their challenge cup final

:38:57.:38:59.

defeat with a 26-16 win over St Helens in the Super Eights.

:39:00.:39:02.

Anthony Gelling scored one of their four tries as they close

:39:03.:39:04.

the gap on third placed Hull to just two points.

:39:05.:39:07.

Elsewhere, Castleford won at Huddersfield

:39:08.:39:08.

Mercedes are setting the pace in Monza, ahead of

:39:09.:39:24.

Valterri Bottas, and Lewis Hamilton were quickest in practise yesterday

:39:25.:39:28.

Bottas topped the second session, following Hamilton, who was just

:39:29.:39:30.

Hamilton's title rival Sebastian Vettel wasn't too

:39:31.:39:33.

Final practise and qualifying get underway later this morning.

:39:34.:39:44.

Now most of us, will have played crazy golf maybe on holiday,

:39:45.:39:47.

but did you know if you're good enough, you can turn professional.

:39:48.:39:55.

The World Championships took place in Hastings

:39:56.:40:01.

earlier this summer and the British team leave for Croatia

:40:02.:40:08.

this week for the World Adventure Golf Masters.

:40:09.:40:15.

Earlier this summer they came flocking to the home of crazy golf

:40:16.:40:19.

at Hastings which has hosted the World Championship

:40:20.:40:21.

It may not be St Andrew's or Erin Hills even, but attention

:40:22.:40:26.

They do have some of the most challenging holes

:40:27.:40:36.

While for most of us it is just a bit of fun on holiday,

:40:37.:40:44.

some like three time champion Chris here,

:40:45.:40:45.

A lot of people say crazy golf, but when they come and try it

:40:46.:40:50.

You can go around the country opening courses, advertising

:40:51.:40:55.

crazy golf video games I've done in the past.

:40:56.:40:57.

So you get to play internationally as well.

:40:58.:40:59.

At least in miniature golf you don't have to worry about big tee shots

:41:00.:41:05.

and the power of your stroke, it is about the putting, isn't it?

:41:06.:41:08.

He has got past the blades or the arms of the windmill.

:41:09.:41:13.

It's a blustery day so the windmill is quite apt today.

:41:14.:41:17.

Mini golf started in the USA in the 1920s when rooftop courses

:41:18.:41:25.

It was an easy way for inner city golfers to improve their putting.

:41:26.:41:33.

They come here from over the world to compete including Olivia

:41:34.:41:36.

from the Czech Republic who won here in 2013 and turned professional

:41:37.:41:39.

when she was aged seven and perhaps why Olivia was crowned world

:41:40.:41:42.

I started playing when I was three years old.

:41:43.:41:45.

It is part of a thriving professional world scene

:41:46.:41:55.

Our Great Britain team are going over to Croatia to play

:41:56.:42:02.

We play the top Germans, the top Swedes and against

:42:03.:42:05.

There is this whole domestic and international scene,

:42:06.:42:12.

but the world crazy golf championship, there

:42:13.:42:14.

The World Championship which offers a ?1,000 prize is open to amateurs

:42:15.:42:21.

too using whatever they can find, but it is the professionals who now

:42:22.:42:26.

go on to represent Great Britain at the Masters in Croatiam

:42:27.:42:28.

go on to represent Great Britain at the Masters in Croatia,

:42:29.:42:31.

hoping to inspire the next generation as well.

:42:32.:42:33.

For all of us, crazy golf can be oh so frustrating.

:42:34.:42:36.

All the holes are par two including the helter-skelter.

:42:37.:42:38.

As a caddy once said to me, "Call the police." You were robbed. That

:42:39.:43:08.

was a great shot. To go professional and to challenge for the world

:43:09.:43:12.

title, you need 11 hole in ones in a round of 18. It is some going, isn't

:43:13.:43:17.

it? That would be tough. It looks like great fun. I have been sent a

:43:18.:43:25.

picture of Hartley Hare. A scary hare. It is not his fault. He was a

:43:26.:43:32.

lovely hare. He was a childhood hero of mine!

:43:33.:43:36.

Famous for its wobbly sets and slightly shaky story lines,

:43:37.:43:38.

Crossroads was one of the country's favourite TV shows, running

:43:39.:43:41.

But most of the programmes were never kept.

:43:42.:43:52.

But a team of archive hunters has unearthed some lost clips

:43:53.:43:55.

from the 1960s and they'll be shown to fans later today.

:43:56.:43:58.

Ben Sidwell has had an exclusive preview.

:43:59.:44:01.

From the 1960s through to the 1980s Crossroads was something

:44:02.:44:06.

Filmed in Birmingham, the soap opera regularly

:44:07.:44:11.

drew audiences of up to 15 million people.

:44:12.:44:23.

For fans of the programme Jane Rossington is a very familiar

:44:24.:44:29.

face having played the character Jill throughout almost

:44:30.:44:31.

So who better to bring to Birmingham City University

:44:32.:44:41.

to watch part of the programme not seen for more than 50 years.

:44:42.:44:46.

I'm still not convinced that I wasn't at that wedding.

:44:47.:44:51.

I seem to remember quite a lot about it.

:44:52.:44:53.

I think it was the first wedding we'd ever done.

:44:54.:44:55.

Despite recording five episodes a week, the majority of the early

:44:56.:44:58.

So they used to wipe the tape and just reuse it which is probably

:44:59.:45:06.

why these odd bits just get left behind.

:45:07.:45:10.

But now a team of Birmingham archive hunters led by Chris Perry have

:45:11.:45:14.

managed to track down some of the earliest surviving

:45:15.:45:16.

programmes, believed to have been lost forever.

:45:17.:45:22.

Yeah, in many ways this is a quite a Holy Grail for Crossroads fans.

:45:23.:45:25.

Some of the footage was very mixed up.

:45:26.:45:27.

Some cans would have footage from the 1970s in it and in the same

:45:28.:45:30.

can something from 1965 so there was no real method

:45:31.:45:33.

You're not supposed to be here. Outside if you please.

:45:34.:45:39.

The characters that were in it were not really bizarre.

:45:40.:45:41.

They were people you knew and I think that was the magic of it.

:45:42.:45:46.

Later today, fans of Crossroads will get their own chance to watch

:45:47.:45:49.

this rediscovered piece of soap opera history for the first time

:45:50.:45:51.

We're joined now from Birmingham by Chris Perry, who led the team

:45:52.:46:02.

that discovered these previously lost episodes.

:46:03.:46:11.

Where did you find threm? There were rumours that the cans had been

:46:12.:46:20.

around at Broad Street, at Central TV in the 1980 and Central was

:46:21.:46:25.

bought out by different companies. They went down to Nottingham and

:46:26.:46:29.

down to Perry Lane and across to Technicolour and came back up to ITV

:46:30.:46:36.

and Leeds and it was due to the perseverance of the archivist and us

:46:37.:46:40.

going through the cans and trying to work out what was there. It wasn't

:46:41.:46:43.

an easy taskment we were expecting one can that had a few bits of film

:46:44.:46:48.

inside it and there were 32 cans it turned out. You described them as

:46:49.:46:53.

the Holy Grail that you have been searching for. Why? Why do they

:46:54.:46:58.

matter so much? In TV terms Crossroads was a soap opera is ses

:46:59.:47:03.

mated and there is hardly any episodes surviving before 19.81. So

:47:04.:47:07.

from that point of view it is very unusual to find any at all because

:47:08.:47:11.

most of it was live. Most of it was shown five days a week and the thing

:47:12.:47:16.

is there is such a lot of people that still love Crossroads. I am not

:47:17.:47:19.

a big fan of it I have to say, but there are lots and lots of people

:47:20.:47:23.

out there that think it is a fantastic series and it is great if

:47:24.:47:29.

you can help people. You mentioned earlier Hartley Har, and we have

:47:30.:47:34.

found missing Hartley Hare as well in our time. Chris, you're spoiling

:47:35.:47:39.

us. We are looking at the archive, weddings and tears. It is no the

:47:40.:47:44.

Crossroads that I remember I guess growing up watching it in the 70 at

:47:45.:47:49.

tea-time. Some of the stuff you found in the reels is very

:47:50.:47:51.

different. It is ambitious some of it? Yeah. I think it makes me

:47:52.:47:56.

certainly re-evaluate. People think of Crossroads as being Victoria Wood

:47:57.:48:05.

and Acorn Antiques and wobbly sets. A lot of the footage was set abroad

:48:06.:48:12.

in Paris and Tunisia, you have got plane chases where lard London gets

:48:13.:48:18.

into a plane and chases a drugs smuggler across the English Channel

:48:19.:48:24.

to France. It makes you realise that Lou Grade spent a lot of money on

:48:25.:48:29.

Crossroads to make it a prestigious drama series. That does not look

:48:30.:48:33.

like the Crossroads I remember. The bit we are seeing at the moment. You

:48:34.:48:41.

found these reels and Harty Hare. What is the ultimate challenge? What

:48:42.:48:44.

would you love to find most of all from our TV past? That's a difficult

:48:45.:48:48.

question. To many people, what I might think is worth finding maybe

:48:49.:48:53.

is what they don't think is worth finding. I think out there there are

:48:54.:49:03.

episodes of Doctor Who, the Avengers and the Likely Lads and Top of the

:49:04.:49:07.

Pops. I think people still have those sitting in their lofts or in

:49:08.:49:11.

their sheds. You would be amazed. Dad's Army was once found in a

:49:12.:49:17.

garden shed. I live in hope that more things will come up and when

:49:18.:49:21.

you do features like this on your show it does lead to people ringing

:49:22.:49:28.

and e-mailing and suggesting things and things are found which are

:49:29.:49:32.

great. He hope the BBC Breakfast ones have been destroyed and they

:49:33.:49:36.

are not in somebody's attic somewhere. I can't believe you went

:49:37.:49:41.

to all that effort and work to find a show thaw didn't really like!

:49:42.:49:47.

The main stories. More heavy rain is battering parts of Southern Asia

:49:48.:49:54.

which has been devastated by flooding leaves millions homeless

:49:55.:49:58.

and more than 1400 dead. Utility companies could be charged by the

:49:59.:50:01.

hour for digging up busy roads in England. The Government thinks the

:50:02.:50:05.

policy would force contractors to speed up their repairs.

:50:06.:50:16.

He don't want Tomasz To speed up the forecast today. So you want to speed

:50:17.:50:30.

up the weekend? I'm sure most people don't want that. They want the whole

:50:31.:50:33.

weekend to linger. I know what you're saying. Today is going to be

:50:34.:50:39.

the best day of the weekend. So we want to hold on to the best of the

:50:40.:50:43.

weather. We want it to last for longest. Look, this is what is

:50:44.:50:46.

happening. This is what is happening right now, what is heading our way.

:50:47.:50:50.

The cloud will be rolling off the Atlantic and it will be in place

:50:51.:50:54.

across western parts of the UK. Tomorrow. That means things are

:50:55.:50:59.

looking cloudy and damp. Let's enjoy today's weather and it really is not

:51:00.:51:07.

looking bad at all. We might get a couple of showers today. The

:51:08.:51:11.

majority of the country it is a fine afternoon out there. We have got

:51:12.:51:14.

light winds. The sun is quite strong still at this time of year. The

:51:15.:51:17.

temperatures are decent enough. And a nice day along the South Coast

:51:18.:51:28.

of England as well. Notice these are the showers here. Maybe the South

:51:29.:51:35.

East and parts of East Anglia. And then this evening that weather front

:51:36.:51:39.

moves off the Atlantic as promised. So this is the beginning of Sunday's

:51:40.:51:44.

damp weather. By the early hours of Sunday morning I suspect raining in

:51:45.:51:47.

Plymouth and maybe Cardiff and through Belfast we would have had a

:51:48.:51:51.

wet night. Many eastern areas waking up to dry weather. The reason why

:51:52.:51:54.

the difference between the east and the west is the west, in the west we

:51:55.:51:58.

have got a very slow moving weather front. It will claw its way, move

:51:59.:52:02.

slowly during the course of the morning and into the afternoon, but

:52:03.:52:06.

it will be clouding over everywhere. In places like Hull, Norwich,

:52:07.:52:11.

perhaps the extreme south-east, maybe staying dry through the day.

:52:12.:52:14.

The rest of the country will be cloudy. Rain at times, not all the

:52:15.:52:18.

time, quite murky, cloudy, drizzly conditions. So not a perfect

:52:19.:52:24.

picture. And that will just carry on until Sunday evening and next week

:52:25.:52:28.

is looking unsettled too. Here is a summary. Let's enjoy Saturday if we

:52:29.:52:32.

can with sunshine, rain on Sunday. That's it from me. Bye-bye. Enjoy

:52:33.:52:40.

the weekend. It flies by for sure. It does, doesn't it. I hope you get

:52:41.:52:42.

to enjoy yours as well. Robert Webb made his name

:52:43.:52:48.

in the comedy series Peep Show And now he's given an honest

:52:49.:52:51.

account of his own life How Not To Be A Boy is a revealing

:52:52.:52:55.

story from childhood to fatherhood. Before we chat to him, he is here.

:52:56.:53:10.

Here is a clip from the first show from Peep Show from 2003. The thing

:53:11.:53:18.

is, well, there is no easy way to put this, but Johnson has invited me

:53:19.:53:22.

in with him. He wants me to get into bed and team up with him. It would

:53:23.:53:27.

mean relocating to Cardiff? You're kidding. Look, I really feel I need

:53:28.:53:34.

to go for this Jez. It is not as if it's the end for usment we're still

:53:35.:53:40.

the old dude brothers. It's just I'm leaving. I can't spend my life with

:53:41.:53:45.

you at base camp. OK. OK. That's fine. I'm fine with that. Good. If I

:53:46.:53:57.

keep smiling maybe he won't leave. Actually this is a pretty cool

:53:58.:54:04.

place, isn't it? Chopsticks. These arbit long for me actually. He has

:54:05.:54:12.

cracked, I hope he doesn't do anything drastic. 14 years ago.

:54:13.:54:19.

People who like to see me age 14 years in one second. We have got a

:54:20.:54:28.

picture here when you were a boy. I had all the Zoro stuff. Zoro doesn't

:54:29.:54:35.

have a stick with chalk on the end. I remember those. Neither did you go

:54:36.:54:41.

around with a thing saying Zoro, but that was my grandmother making sure

:54:42.:54:49.

everyone knew it was a Zoro costume. Why have you written a memoir now?

:54:50.:54:53.

Well, I thought I had a good story to tell. A mixture of typical things

:54:54.:54:58.

and unusual things and I have always had this preoccupation with gender

:54:59.:55:03.

and masculinity. The story has a theme. I'm looking at events of my

:55:04.:55:08.

life through the prism, the focus of how boys are supposed to be boys and

:55:09.:55:13.

girls are supposed to be girls. I found all the messages about how

:55:14.:55:17.

boys are good at swimming and climbing trees and I couldn't do any

:55:18.:55:21.

of that. I found it quite a tight fit. So I've always had an interest

:55:22.:55:26.

in and I thought I would approach it through a memoir. It starts in

:55:27.:55:31.

childhood. We have got that picture of you dressed as a superhero. You

:55:32.:55:38.

say at the time, it was an uncomfortable match? Steve Austin

:55:39.:55:47.

and Zoro and Dick Turpin and Logan and Monkey. You watched a lot of

:55:48.:55:52.

telly. Not a father among them. Not one. The other noticeable thing with

:55:53.:55:57.

the exception of Doctor Who, not many problems in life that can't be

:55:58.:56:00.

solved by punching someone quite hard in the face. These are my

:56:01.:56:04.

alternative role models and we're off to a terrific start. Having read

:56:05.:56:13.

your book, there are some uncomfortable portrayals or memories

:56:14.:56:15.

that you've put in of your father. Yeah. And your brothers to some

:56:16.:56:21.

extent. How did they feel about, how do your brothers feel about this? My

:56:22.:56:26.

father was on a short fuse and he was, he drank a fair bit and he

:56:27.:56:30.

punished his sons physically when they stepped out of line. This is

:56:31.:56:37.

the 70s when we still had corporal punishment in primary schools.

:56:38.:56:39.

Teachers could come at you with a stick and that was fine. So he

:56:40.:56:43.

wasn't really doing anything that was unusual for the time and place

:56:44.:56:47.

and in the rest of the book I try to be as fair to him as possible. There

:56:48.:56:51.

are lots of things to admire about my dad and the story is one of

:56:52.:56:55.

forgiveness in a way. My brothers are cool with it. We have a slight

:56:56.:57:01.

delivrn memory because they are five and six years older than me. So they

:57:02.:57:06.

were scared of hill, but I was five and I never really understood what

:57:07.:57:11.

I'd done wrong. My attitude to him was straightforward dread. Whereas

:57:12.:57:14.

they have a slight delivrn idea, but it is the truth as I remember it.

:57:15.:57:17.

You talk in the book about how the impact of having him as your dad and

:57:18.:57:23.

that example of masculinity affected you as you were growing up and

:57:24.:57:27.

dealing with it. Your father died in... 2013. You have possibly

:57:28.:57:30.

written this with him still alive? No. Absolutely not. Because, you

:57:31.:57:36.

know, as I say, I'm generous to him in the end, but some of the stuff

:57:37.:57:39.

that he found different, he just didn't, this was good at having a

:57:40.:57:45.

young family. Not everyone is. But there are problems he had there I

:57:46.:57:51.

couldn't just ignore them because it is sort of part of the story and

:57:52.:57:55.

when I became a father I certainly, I have never been violent with the

:57:56.:58:00.

children I would rather chew my arms off rather than hurt my daughters,

:58:01.:58:05.

the bread winning panic, I am the father I must do, I must go out and

:58:06.:58:10.

work which was fine. I was working and my wife Abbey was working and

:58:11.:58:13.

with a little bit of juggling that would have been fine, but instead I

:58:14.:58:18.

just said yes to everything. Because you have got this kind of this thing

:58:19.:58:22.

that you have been, you have had modelled for you. I was freaked out

:58:23.:58:26.

and I started drinking more than I had been before. So you know you

:58:27.:58:32.

have to keep an eye on those influences and just occasionally,

:58:33.:58:35.

don't live in the past, but I found it useful to go through those

:58:36.:58:40.

influences so that I can keep an eye on, you know, what the ought owe

:58:41.:58:44.

pilot will get me to do if I'm not careful.

:58:45.:58:47.

Thank you very much for coming in Robert.

:58:48.:58:56.

It is interesting you how you just accept yourself in society and

:58:57.:58:59.

accept that you're not to be labelled. That's that kind of book.

:59:00.:59:04.

We didn't get to talk about your sitcom. It is on Wednesday at 10pm

:59:05.:59:07.

on Channel 4. That's it from us today,

:59:08.:59:10.

Ben and Sally will be

:59:11.:59:13.
