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 | :10:32. | :10:51. | |
holidaymakers in East Sussex. It led to Birling Gap Beach, near Beachy | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
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. | |

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 | :38:13. | :38:15. | |
on third-placed Hull Elsewhere, Castleford | :38:16. | :38:17. | |
won at Huddersfield, There is a big day ahead | :38:18. | :38:19. | |
in domestic cricket, as Nottinghamshire can do | :38:20. | :38:35. | |
the one-day double if they win They have already won | :38:36. | :38:37. | |
the One-Day Cup this season, and face Hampshire in one | :38:38. | :38:41. | |
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 | :39:44. | :39:46. | |
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 | :45:17. | :45:21. | |
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 | :58:16. | :58:18. | |
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, | :58:23. | :58:31. | |
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 | :59:09. | :59:12. | |
at your place, Jalien. Hello, this is Breakfast, | :59:13. | :59:17. | |

looking a little mixed. A lot of grey cloud, | :01:42. | :01:49. | |
and some rain on the way as well, First, our main story: More heavy | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
rain is falling in South Asia, where this year's monsoon season has | :01:57. | :02:04. | |
left millions of people displaced. It is now believed more | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
than 1,400 people have died. Parts of India's financial centre, | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
Mumbai, are under several Our South Asia correspondent | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
Justin Rowlatt is in the eastern state of Bihar, one | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
of the worst-affected areas. Just in this one state | :02:19. | :02:31. | |
in northern and eastern India, we are talking 17 million | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
people affected, more And as you say, across the region, | :02:35. | :02:36. | |
1,400 people killed. Now, as you can see, | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
the rains have stopped here. More rain is forecast but even | :02:41. | :02:51. | |
without the rains it doesn't mean Obviously there's a huge | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
rebuilding effort needed, homes, schools, roads | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
need to be rebuilt. And then, of course, | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
there is the danger of disease. Many people were exposed | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
to the floodwaters for days and there is a real issue | :03:06. | :03:07. | |
with diarrhoea and other waterborne diseases, and that is causing huge | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
problems still across South Asia. President Trump is to visit Texas | :03:11. | :03:24. | |
again today to assess the flood He will fly to Houston, | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
accompanied by the First Lady, where he will meet survivors | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
and volunteers involved A chemical plant near to the city | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
has exploded after its cooling Our US correspondent | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
Barbara Plett-Usher has been out with the emergency services | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
to assess the damage across Houston. The sheriffs of Houston | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
are still working 12-hour shifts, even though the floodwaters | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
they battled earlier in the week Like nothing they have | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
ever experienced before, a disaster on a scale | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
rarely seen in the US. The water was over this | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
bridge right here. They remember the ones | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
they were not able to rescue. Some of them weren't able to get out | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
in time for them to get help, and they were basically stuck | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
inside their house, you know. And they're crippled, | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
or they can't even get outside The sweep of the storm | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
caught people by surprise. After sitting over Houston for days, | :04:19. | :04:30. | |
it continued east, keeping emergency In Harvey's wake, there | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
is massive disruption. Chemical spills caused | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
fire at this plant. More are expected, spreading | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
anxiety about toxins. And in mucky, waterlogged | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
neighbourhoods, now comes What can be salvaged, | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
how much is lost, and who will pay The Trump administration got good | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
marks for it early response Now, it has to show the staying | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
power needed to help Utility companies could be charged | :04:55. | :05:03. | |
by the hour for digging up busy roads when they work | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
on improving their infrastructure, this under plans being put | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
forward by the Government. Ministers hope the policy | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
would force contractors in England to speed up repairs, | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
or carry out work at night, to reduce traffic delays | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
caused by their projects. Mile after mile, hour after hour, | :05:20. | :05:21. | |
of delays caused by roadworks. It is thought one in every three | :05:22. | :05:40. | |
of our journeys is held Around 2.5 million roadworks | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
are carried out every year in England, costing the economy | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
an estimated ?4 billion in lost working hours and | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
delayed deliveries. Utility companies are not | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
responsible for every excavated carriageway or set of temporary | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
traffic lights, but it is hoped this | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
new scheme may persuade them to carry out their work more | :06:05. | :06:05. | |
quickly, or at night, Under the proposals, | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
councils could charge utility companies up to ?2,500 per site | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
to work on roads during the day. When trialled in London, | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
back in 2012, this led to a 42% drop in the levels of disruption | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
caused by roadworks. The idea has been cautiously | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
welcomed by the AA and the RAC, but they have warned that these | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
changes mustn't lead to works being rushed or slapdash, | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
simply to hand roads back The Local Government Association has | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
praised the success of the pilot schemes, and called for other | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
councils to be given the new powers In a few minutes' time, | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
we will be talking to a Government Keen to hear what you think of the | :06:44. | :06:59. | |
idea as well. Let us know in the usual way. | :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 | :13:29. | :13:30. | |
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 | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
people are worried about cost being passed on to customers. In your gas | :17:58. | :18:07. | |
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 | :28:17. | :28:18. | |
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. | |
west of the country. They claimed there is a terrorism threat. That is | :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 | :30:31. | :30:35. | |
calling and try to use this data to target those that often wants to | :30:36. | :30:38. | |
silence. Like human rights lawyers or campaigners. All of that in the | :30:39. | :30:43. | |
name of changing the face of the world's number two economy. Just | :30:44. | :30:50. | |
make sure your face fits so you can feed your face... | :30:51. | :31:16. | |
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 | :47:29. | :47:32. | |
with me, Roger Bolton, Around 40 people have | :47:33. | :47:35. | |
died in Hurricane Harvey having been killed in the floods | :47:36. | :47:43. | |
of South East Asia. Shouldn't that disaster have been | :47:44. | :47:47. | |
given greater prominence? We will also ask if the 20th | :47:48. | :47:51. | |
anniversary of Princess Diana's death has prompted an outpouring | :47:52. | :47:55. | |
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 | :48:22. | :48:23. | |
quiet on the world's stage with North Korean | :48:24. | :48:25. | |
missiles flying over Japan and President Trump twittering | :48:26. | :48:27. | |
several times a day. With many politicians | :48:28. | :48:31. | |
and others on holiday, there has been the odd | :48:32. | :48:33. | |
longeur in the news cycle. Back in the dog days of early | :48:34. | :48:38. | |
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. | |
in California have hit the waves in the second annual | :48:53. | :48:56. | |
World Dog Surfing Championships. There is style, confidence, | :48:57. | :49:00. | |
the size of the wave. Some events have really big waves, | :49:01. | :49:06. | |
some have small waves. There is a lot of | :49:07. | :49:09. | |
style and techniques. The competitors' main challenge | :49:10. | :49:11. | |
is to stay afloat on the board. This is in Pacifica | :49:12. | :49:18. | |
near San Francisco. There are also prizes for the best | :49:19. | :49:20. | |
dressed and tandem surfing dogs. The winner of course | :49:21. | :49:26. | |
being crowned top dog. Simon McCoy became something | :49:27. | :49:31. | |
of a folk hero after his That video went viral | :49:32. | :49:36. | |
with Judy Hutchinson describing his fantastically | :49:37. | :49:41. | |
lacklustre delivery as British Jeff thought, "you can hear | :49:42. | :49:43. | |
the existential misery But a canine twitter user complained | :49:44. | :49:48. | |
that Simon fails to show the necessary respect when reporting | :49:49. | :49:58. | |
on the dog surfing competition. It reminds me of a skateboarding | :49:59. | :50:04. | |
duck who appeared on an early More conventional sports have also | :50:05. | :50:07. | |
featured strongly on BBC News From the World Athletics | :50:08. | :50:13. | |

in which Floyd Mayweather That contest led some news | :50:19. | :50:20. | |
bulletins on Sunday morning, prompting viewer Jackie Downs | :50:21. | :50:26. | |
to complain, this report should have There is no doubting the news value | :50:27. | :50:29. | |
of Hurricane Harvey which landed in Texas a week ago and has | :50:30. | :50:37. | |
continued to cause huge damage as a storm and tropical | :50:38. | :50:41. | |
depression with floods now James Cook was on the spot | :50:42. | :50:43. | |
for BBC News on Saturday. Hurricane Harvey smashed ashore | :50:44. | :50:51. | |
just a short time ago. Not very far from here, | :50:52. | :50:55. | |
about 30 miles east north east of where we are standing | :50:56. | :50:59. | |
here in Corpus Christi. The winds were said to be at 130 | :51:00. | :51:01. | |
miles an hour according That makes it a category 4 hurricane | :51:02. | :51:06. | |
and an extremely dangerous storm. Christian Hudson was concerned | :51:07. | :51:15. | |
about the danger, asking, "Why was he standing | :51:16. | :51:17. | |
outside getting soaking wet Surely isn't this responsible | :51:18. | :51:19. | |
of the BBC to put its I know the BBC likes to report | :51:20. | :51:28. | |
on what is happening around the world but safety | :51:29. | :51:32. | |
should be paramount." Many more viewers had | :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 | :51:48. | :51:52. | |
has been taking place Monsoon rain in India, | :51:53. | :51:54. | |
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, | :55:43. | :55:48. | |
said, "Do you think Asian lives The news is respected and revered | :55:49. | :55:51. | |
for its global news coverage. The other big flood story | :55:52. | :56:01. | |
of the summer was in Sierra Leone, the lead story on the six | :56:02. | :56:11. | |
O'clock News on the day it happened. Was on those bulletins, | :56:12. | :56:15. | |
the Six and Ten O'Clock News four days out five that week | :56:16. | :56:19. | |
with a correspondent That is not a broadcaster that only | :56:20. | :56:21. | |
looks in one direction when it The BBC expects you not | :56:22. | :56:26. | |
to follow the rest of They say that is not the case | :56:27. | :56:30. | |
and they do believe it leaves an unfortunate impression that | :56:31. | :56:35. | |
anything that happens in the States, in the West, you give more | :56:36. | :56:38. | |
importance to perhaps because you feel that your audiences | :56:39. | :56:41. | |
are more interested in that. Of course our audiences | :56:42. | :56:44. | |
are interested in stories that happen in the UK, | :56:45. | :56:46. | |
and America, and in What has happened in Houston, | :56:47. | :56:48. | |
in Texas this week, is a big story. I totally accept there are questions | :56:49. | :56:52. | |
around proportionality and it is good that viewers | :56:53. | :56:56. | |
and listeners have these concerns What I would say is this is not | :56:57. | :56:59. | |
a broadcaster that only Again, it is not a question | :57:00. | :57:03. | |
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. | |
which was a very big and important story in modern America's history | :57:42. | :57:44. | |
and whether President Trump would repeat some of the mistakes | :57:45. | :57:46. | |
that were made in terms It is personally legitimate to cover | :57:47. | :57:49. | |
that aspect of the story. It was one piece on the day that | :57:50. | :57:53. | |
President Trump went Clearly, the south East Asian crisis | :57:54. | :57:56. | |
will continue though probably with a big health | :57:57. | :58:01. | |
problem in Bangladesh. We are there right now | :58:02. | :58:03. | |
and you will probably see coverage today and | :58:04. | :58:09. | |
tomorrow on BBC News. Finally, I mentioned | :58:10. | :58:11. | |
at the start of the programme that major news events | :58:12. | :58:16. | |
do happen in August One example is the death of | :58:17. | :58:19. | |
Princess Diana which took place on the last day | :58:20. | :58:23. | |
of that month in 1997. Thursday's 20th anniversary | :58:24. | :58:25. | |
was marked by a number of TV programmes and | :58:26. | :58:27. | |
news reports which were not Our editor described himself | :58:28. | :58:30. | |
on social media this week as bored of the coverage, saying, | :58:31. | :58:38. | |
"Hopefully today will be the last that we have to suffer mawkish | :58:39. | :58:41. | |
media Diana drivel." The prompted, "A reminder of his | :58:42. | :58:46. | |
responsibilities from the BBC." Brian Peacock was one of a number | :58:47. | :58:50. | |

we'll look at the lost Crossroads episodes being shown for the first | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
time in over 50 years. The weekend is looking a little | :01:43. | :01:54. | |
mixed. A nice bright day today, tomorrow, one for the Sunday papers, | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
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. | :02:10. | :02:13. | |

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 | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
again today, to assess the flood He'll fly to Houston, | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
accompanied by the first lady, where he'll meet survivors | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
and volunteers involved A chemical plant near to the city | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
has exploded after its cooling Our US Correspondent Barbara | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
Plett Usher has been out with the emergency services, | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
to assess the damage across Houston. The sheriffs of Houston | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
are still working 12-hour shifts, even though the floodwaters | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
they battled earlier Like nothing they have | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
ever experienced before, a disaster on a scale rarely seen | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
in the US. The water was over this | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
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, | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
it continued east, keeping emergency In Harvey's wake, there | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
is massive disruption. Chemical spills started fires | :07:09. | :07:25. | |
at this chemical plant. More are expected, spreading | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
anxiety about toxins. And, in mucky, waterlogged | :07:28. | :07:28. | |
neighbourhoods, now comes What can be salvaged, | :07:29. | :07:30. | |
how much is lost, and who will The Trump administration got | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
good marks for its early Now, it has to show the staying | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
power needed to help Utility companies could be charged | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
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 | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
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 | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
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 | :12:52. | :12:59. | |
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 | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
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. | |

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 | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
parts of Southern Asia, which has been devastated | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
by flooding, leaving millions of people homeless | :18:56. | :18:57. | |
and more than 1400 dead. Utility companies could soon be | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
charged by-the-hour for digging up The Government believes the policy | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
would force contractors Lots of people have plans for that | :19:05. | :19:21. | |
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 | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
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. | |
your evening when you are going out for a drink. When you're on the | :56:36. | :56:43. | |
mocktails you are not going out for them, they might be a back-up to | :56:44. | :56:46. | |
something different. Thank you very much indeed. Thank you for your | :56:47. | :56:50. | |
chents and for getting in touch. We will try and read out more in the | :56:51. | :56:52. | |
next hour. Famous for its wobbly sets | :56:53. | :56:54. | |
and slightly shaky story lines, Crossroads was one of the country's | :56:55. | :56:58. | |
favourite TV shows, running But most of the programmes | :56:59. | :57:02. | |
were never kept. But a team of archive hunters | :57:03. | :57:11. | |
has unearthed some lost clips from the 1960s | :57:12. | :57:14. | |
and they'll be shown Ben Sidwell has had | :57:15. | :57:16. | |
an exclusive preview. From the 1960s through to the 1980s | :57:17. | :57:20. | |
Crossroads was something Filmed in Birmingham, | :57:21. | :57:35. | |
the soap opera regularly drew audiences of up | :57:36. | :57:37. | |
to 15 million people. For fans of the programme | :57:38. | :57:47. | |
Jane Rossington is a very familiar face having played the character | :57:48. | :57:54. | |
Jill throughout almost So who better to bring | :57:55. | :57:57. | |
to Birmingham City University to watch part of the programme not | :57:58. | :58:07. | |
seen for more than 50 years. I'm still not convinced that | :58:08. | :58:10. | |
I wasn't at that wedding. I seem to remember | :58:11. | :58:15. | |
quite a lot about it. I think it was the first | :58:16. | :58:17. | |
wedding we'd ever done. Despite recording five episodes | :58:18. | :58:20. | |
a week, the majority of the early So they used to wipe the tape | :58:21. | :58:22. | |
and just reuse it which is probably why these odd bits just | :58:23. | :58:31. | |
get left behind. But now a team of Birmingham archive | :58:32. | :58:34. | |
hunters led by Chris Perry have managed to track down some | :58:35. | :58:37. | |
of the earliest surviving programmes, believed | :58:38. | :58:39. | |
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 | :58:44. | :58:46. | |
was very mixed up. Some cans would have footage | :58:47. | :58:49. | |
from the 1970s in it and in the same can something from 1965 | :58:50. | :58:53. | |
so there was no real method You're not supposed to be here. | :58:54. | :58:55. | |
Outside if you please. The characters that were in it | :58:56. | :59:01. | |
were not really bizarre. They were people you knew and I | :59:02. | :59:04. | |
think that was the magic of it. Later today, fans of Crossroads | :59:05. | :59:09. | |
will get their own chance to watch this rediscovered piece of soap | :59:10. | :59:12. | |
opera history for the first time It is it the classic tune, tea-time, | :59:13. | :59:29. | |
Cross roads. I remember the characters as well. I hope you | :59:30. | :59:31. | |
enjoyed that. The headlines are next. We will see you soon. | :59:32. | :00:03. | |

The weekend is looking a little mixed. A nice bright day today. | :01:24. | :01:38. | |
Tomorrow, one for the Sunday papers. A lot of grey cloud and rain on the | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
way, but not for everyone. More from Tomasz later, thanks. | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
More heavy rain is falling in South Asia where this year's | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
monsoon season has left millions of people displaced. | :01:51. | :01:51. | |
It's now believed more than 1400 people have died. | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
Part of India's financial centre, Mumbai, are under | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
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. | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
And the challenge they face. Justin talking about the efforts in America | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
to deal with hurricane Harvey. President Trump is to visit Texas | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
again today, to assess the flood He'll fly to Houston, | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
accompanied by the First Lady, where he'll meet survivors | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
and volunteers involved A chemical plant near to the city | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
exploded after its cooling Our US Correspondent Barbara | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
Plett Usher has been out with the emergency services, | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
to assess the damage The sheriffs of Houston | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
are still working 12-hour shifts, even though the floodwaters | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
they battled earlier Like nothing they have | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
ever experienced before, a disaster on a scale rarely seen | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
in the US. The water was over this | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
bridge right here. They remember the ones | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
they were not able to rescue. Some of them weren't able to get out | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
in time for them to get help, and they were basically stuck | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
inside their house, you know. And they're crippled, | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
or they can't even get outside of their residence, | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
and they died. The sweep of the storm | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
caught people by surprise. After sitting over Houston for days, | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
it continued east, keeping emergency In Harvey's wake, there | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
is massive disruption. Chemical spills started fires | :05:47. | :05:54. | |
at this chemical plant. More are expected, spreading | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
anxiety about toxins. And, in mucky, waterlogged | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
neighbourhoods, now comes What can be salvaged, | :06:06. | :06:06. | |
how much is lost, and who will The Trump administration got | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
good marks for its early Now, it has to show the staying | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
power needed to help Utility companies could be charged | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
by the hour for digging up busy roads, when they work | :06:20. | :06:31. | |
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 | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
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 | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
changes mustn't lead the works being rushed or slapdash, | :08:01. | :08:02. | |
simply to hand road The Local Government Association has | :08:03. | :08:04. | |
praised the success of the pilot schemes and called for other | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
councils to be given the new powers The Labour MP Sarah Champion, | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
who resigned from her shadow cabinet post last month, | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
has attacked her party from moving She quit as Shadow Women | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
and Equalities Minister, after she was criticised | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
for a newspaper article she wrote -- in the Rotherham, her | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
constituency. Let's get more from our political | :08:32. | :08:39. | |
correspondent Mark Lobel, Remind us what it was she wrote | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
about, why she resigned and what she had said now? Sarah Champion | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
apologised for a poor choice of words for an article written in last | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
month's Sun following a child abuse scandal in Newcastle, in which he | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
said British has -- Britain has a problem with British Pakistani men | :09:03. | :09:04. | |
raping white girls. In an interview since she resided in today's The | :09:05. | :09:12. | |
Times she said her inbox has gone nuts from members of the police, | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
health professionals and social workers thanking her for raising the | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
issue. She goes into more detail about watchmen. She talks about the | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
crime model she was talking about and explains the sex gangs are full | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
of friends and extended family members trafficking girls to other | :09:28. | :09:34. | |
friends and extended family members. She says is mostly Pakistani men | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
involved. She goes on to say in the Times "It's one thing to recognise a | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
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 | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
left, saying most of the people on the left are afraid more of being | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
called a racist than tackling this issue head on and perhaps unshackled | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
herself now, she says she would rather be called a racist than turn | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
a blind eye to this problem. She says some Labour MPs and members in | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
London have not been challenged with the reality of what life is like | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
around the country. The Labour Party has responded to this. Jeremy Corbyn | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
says effective action is needed to tackle child abuse, but he says, he | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
believes stigmatising entire communities is wrong. You you for | :10:22. | :10:22. | |
that update. The Governor of California has | :10:23. | :10:24. | |
imposed a state of emergency with fires burning | :10:25. | :10:40. | |
in the north of the state. The so-called Ponderosa Fire has | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
burned across more than 3000 acres A man accused of starting the blaze | :10:43. | :10:44. | |
appeared in court yesterday The investigation into the chemical | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
cloud which affected parts of East Sussex last Sunday, | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
is looking into the possibility that it may have been caused | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
by emissions from known shipwrecks The beach at Birling Gap, | :10:55. | :10:56. | |
near Eastbourne, was closed Around 150 people had to be treated | :10:57. | :11:07. | |

stars and celebrities - including Beyonce, Rafa Nadal, | :11:32. | :11:33. | |

I wonder when the baby's first tennis lesson is. | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
Next week! We might even get a name by then. | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
Crowds at the Bournemouth Air Festival have been wowed by one | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
of the world's first aero-pyrotechnic display teams. | :11:50. | :11:51. | |
Look at these pictures. It is called a twister duo. A spectacular night | :11:52. | :11:59. | |
flying display. They ducked and dived, | :12:00. | :12:01. | |
illuminating the sky, whilst thousands of people watched | :12:02. | :12:03. | |
from below. It is amazing from the pilot's view, | :12:04. | :12:10. | |
but even on the ground, that would have been absolutely stunning. | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
Sometimes displays, when this guy is a bit grey during the day it's not | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
so good, but at night when it lights up like that, phenomenal! Fantastic | :12:20. | :12:21. | |
pictures from Bournemouth. The weather coming up shortly with | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
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. |
