This is Breakfast. Donald Trump warns North Korea the US is ready to | :00:11. | :00:23. | |
use nuclear weapons to defend itself. Washington says it will use | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
a massive military response if America is threatened. | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
In the last few hours, South Korea carried out a missile | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
drill simulating an attack on the North's nuclear test site. | :00:36. | :00:52. | |
Good morning, it is Monday four September. | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
Also this morning: The UK's coastal communities are among | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
We are live at the seaside, with exclusive figures. | :00:58. | :01:10. | |
Ten years ago the government identified a problem, five years ago | :01:11. | :01:17. | |
it set aside money to try and fix it. Today we can reveal the gap | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
between coastal and non- coastal communities is getting bigger. Why | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
are our beautiful coastlines underperforming? | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
A senior police officer warns that forces in England and Wales | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
are facing a perfect storm, because of staff cuts | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
When will wages grow faster than prices? | :01:33. | :01:41. | |
I will have some of the answers from our survey of financial | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
In sport: Lewis Hamilton jumps for joy, after snatching the Formula | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
1 championship lead with victory at the Italian Grand Prix. | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
And, as one retailer says it is ditching separate labels | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
for boys' and girls' clothes, we are asking if the days | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
of his and hers outfits are numbered. | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
We just said boys and girls can wear the same thing. Yes, and they can | :02:06. | :02:12. | |
like the same things, too. It is a grey, gloomy start to the | :02:13. | :02:24. | |
day. Some of us will see some brightness later on. I will bring | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
you all the weather details in 15 minutes. | :02:29. | :02:29. | |
First, our main story: President Trump has warned | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
the United States is ready to use its nuclear capabilities | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
in defending itself and its allies against North Korea. | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
His comments come as the United Nations prepares for an emergency | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
session to discuss Pyongyang's claims of a successful nuclear | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
After the North exploded a nuclear device below ground, the South | :02:44. | :02:58. | |
responded with this. A series of missile launchers above ground. The | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
military said they hit their target in the East Sea early on Monday. It | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
was designed to replicate an attack on North Korea's nuclear testing | :03:08. | :03:15. | |
site. Across the border over the weekend, this was how North Koreans | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
heard about the perfect success that was their nations sixth nuclear | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
missile test. It was more powerful than any before, and came with | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
claims that Kim Jong-un now has the ability to order a nuclear strike on | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
mainland America. A few hours later, in Washington, having briefed the | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
President, the US secretary of defence gave this very stark | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
warning. Any threat to the United States or its territories, including | :03:42. | :03:48. | |
Guam, or our allies, will be met with a massive military response, a | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
response both effective and overwhelming. China has a crucial | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
role to play in this, posting a handful of world leaders at a | :03:58. | :04:05. | |
summit, President Xi urged restraint on all sides. The President of | :04:06. | :04:15. | |
Japan... The leader wants to focus on even tougher economic sanctions, | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
as United Nations Security Council meets later. | :04:20. | :04:20. | |
What should we read into this missile test by the South? | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
The language here is deeply concerning, isn't it? What do you | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
make of it all? Well, I think what is most interesting this morning is | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
that show of force again by South Korea's military. It is not the | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
first time they have done this but launching those missiles is designed | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
to reassure South Koreans about the permanent state of alert this | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
country finds itself in. They did something similar a few days ago | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
after that missile launch heading towards Japan. There was a dummy | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
bombing run with missiles dropped onto the side of a mountain near the | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
border with North Korea from South Korean Air Force jets. So that is | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
the military answer this morning. But nonetheless, this country's | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
president, Moon, wants to go even further in terms of economic | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
sanctions. That will be the focus at United Nations Security Council | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
meeting in New York later today. A reminder, though, of what is at | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
stake. We heard from the White House after President Trump spoke with | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
Japan's leader, Shinzo Abe, a few hours ago, and he reminded people | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
the US is prepared to use all the options at its disposal, economic, | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
diplomatic and its nuclear capabilities. | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
And we will speak to a woman who defected from North Korea, | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
to find out about life under the regime there. | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
There is a warning that policing in England and Wales is facing | :05:42. | :05:49. | |
a perfect storm because of rising crime and staff shortages. | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
The president of the Police Superintendents' Association, | :05:52. | :05:53. | |
Gavin Thomas, will deliver the message in a speech | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
to its annual conference, which begins today. | :05:57. | :05:57. | |
Our home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw reports. | :05:58. | :06:05. | |
Is the thin blue line becoming too thin? | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
Yes, says the Police Superintendents' Association. | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
It is the association that represents 1,000 middle-ranking | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
officers, the men and women who make the key operational decisions. | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
The superintendents are concerned that there are fewer police officers | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
working harder and working longer hours, in more | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
The man who leads the organisation believes that is a model of policing | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
I think it's the service of first resort, I think it's the service | :06:35. | :06:48. | |
understandably, and I think what I've also described - | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
I think we're also the service that is everything | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
That puts a lot of pressure on police officers to try and meet | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
I'm not convinced it is a sustainable position | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
The Superintendents' Association conducted a survey of its members | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
72% of those who responded said they did not use all the annual | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
50% of superintendents said they had signs of anxiety. | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
And over one quarter, 27%, were experiencing symptoms | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
of depression, linked to the demands of working in policing. | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
The Association is known for being the voice of moderation | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
in policing, so its warnings are likely to be taken seriously. | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
The Home Office says it is piloting a new national service to provide | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
welfare support to police who need it. | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
Ministers have also been having discussions with police leaders, | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
amid calls for extra police funding for forces, | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
but no decisions have yet been taken. | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
A rise in interest rates won't take place for more than a year, | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
and the squeeze in the cost of living may soon be easing. | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
This is according to a BBC survey of 30 leading economists. | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
Sean, what more can the survey tell us about the economy? | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
Well, it depends which part of it you take. These are all forecasts. | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
You have to remember when economists chat about stuff. These leading | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
economists are listened to buy lots of businesses, government | :08:18. | :08:19. | |
policymakers, and it gives you an idea what the Bank of England are | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
thinking about interest rates. Most of them think no rate rise until | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
2019. If you have a mortgage that might be good news. If you are a | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
saver and have been trying to save while interest rates have been so | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
low, the not so great news. It gives you an idea that that might be what | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
the Bank of England is thinking. That is a lot to do with Brexit, | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
that uncertainty, not leaving until March 2019, until some kind of | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
detail is given in those negotiations, when they giving that | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
might be more confident to raise rates. In half an hour we are | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
speaking to one of these economists, who thinks there might be a little | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
rise later in the year. And on wages and inflation, a lot of economists | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
think prices will not be rising as quickly as they were recently, and | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
that wage rises will start to come through a little bit stronger. That | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
means beginning of next year, good news for workers if it happens. | :09:09. | :09:10. | |
Thank you. A seven-hour disturbance at one | :09:11. | :09:10. | |
of England's largest jails has been Specialist staff had been called | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
in to Birmingham Prison to deal with the inmates, who refused | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
to return to their cells. The disorder was confined to one | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
wing of the privately run jail. Our correspondent | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
Keith Doyle has more. The trouble started yesterday | :09:24. | :09:32. | |
afternoon, and went on into the night. It began when inmates on one | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
wing refused to return to their cells following afternoon | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
association. The Prison Service said... | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
No staff or inmates were injured, although one prisoner was taken to | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
hospital for an unrelated medical matter. The rest of the jail was | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
unaffected. The prison, one of the largest in the UK, is privately run | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
by G4S. It said the incident was brought to a safe conclusion shortly | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
before midnight. Last December, ?2 million worth of damage was done | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
when hundreds of prisoners were involved in serious disturbances | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
over conditions in the prison, which holds up to 1450 category B and C | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
prisoners. A state of emergency has been | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
declared in Los Angeles, as the city battles the worst | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
wildfires in its history. Hundreds of homes | :10:25. | :10:26. | |
have been evacuated. The fires, covering about 5,000 | :10:27. | :10:28. | |
acres, started on Friday and have They are arriving from a galaxy far, | :10:29. | :10:31. | |

have got one. Do you have UV lights at home? No, but I would be very | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
excited to receive something in the post with one of those. You don't | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
get letters, do you? You get the occasional letter. Can you send me | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
one of those? Get the energy companies to use them, you get | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
plenty from them! I might go out and purchase one myself. To Yuma and my | :11:33. | :11:40. | |

will cover it over with that newspaper. Nothing to see here. | :11:55. | :12:02. | |
Talking about Lewis Hamilton, he was booed at the weekend. | :12:03. | :12:04. | |
Lewis Hamilton won the Italian Grand Prix in dominant style, | :12:05. | :12:06. | |
to take the lead in the Drivers' Championship for the first | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
A day after breaking the all-time record for pole positions, | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
Hamilton was in total control at Monza, finishing ahead | :12:14. | :12:15. | |
of team-mate Valtteri Bottas, for a Mercedes one-two. | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
Maria Sharapova is out of the US Open. | :12:19. | :12:20. | |
The former world number one and 2006 champion was making her return | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
to Grand Slam tennis following a 15-month drugs ban, | :12:24. | :12:25. | |
but lost in the fourth round to Latvian Anastasija | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
Chris Froome has extended his overall lead at the Vuelta a Espana, | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
He now leads his nearest rival by over a minute. | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
There are six stages to go after today's rest day. | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
Jordan Henderson will again captain England against Slovakia | :12:40. | :12:41. | |
in tonight's crucial World Cup qualifier at Wembley. | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
Elsewhere, Scotland host Malta, and Northern Ireland take | :12:44. | :12:45. | |
I am sure they can do that, can't they? Sorry, have you finished your | :12:46. | :13:06. | |
toast? And Luxembourg and France drawing 0-0. And we will have a look | :13:07. | :13:15. | |
at the weather. Good morning. We have a bit of a grey start to the | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
day to day. This scene was taken yesterday in Saint Leonards on Sea | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
in East Sussex. Similar skies across many parts of the country today. We | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
have some cloud, some drizzly rain but for some of us it is set to | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
brighten up later in the day. What we have at the moment is this warm | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
front crossing the country during Sunday, quite a lot of wet weather | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
and still lingering around. We have quite a lot of low cloud around. | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
More persistent rain sitting to the north-west so for the far west of | :13:44. | :14:00. | |
Northern Ireland, into Scotland. Elsewhere, for Northern Ireland and | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
Scotland, it is a cloudy and drizzly picture. There is some hill fog | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
around, quite drizzly first thing. As we had our way south across | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
northern England, down towards the Midlands, fairly cloudy here and | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
spots of drizzly rain coming out of that cloud, with some low fog and | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
Hill cloud. Certainly mild, so temperatures wherever you are in the | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
mid-to-high teens first thing. This is 8am, some drizzly rain for | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
Cornwall but temperatures in Plymouth around 17 degrees. You will | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
see some dry weather as we crossed southern England, but down towards | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
the south-east some patchy outbreaks of showery rain through the day. A | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
bit of brightness developing later on once the sunshine start to break | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
holes in the cloud, especially for parts of southern England and the | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
Midlands. Further north, this cold front sinks its way through parts of | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
Northern Ireland Scotland, bringing more persistent rain, followed by | :14:42. | :14:43. | |
clear refreshing conditions from the north-west later on. For much of the | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
country we keep a mild and murky theme, with temperatures in sunny | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
spot 22 or 23 degrees. Into the evening, this cold front in the | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
North starts to pep up and we will see heavier bursts of rain for | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
Northern Ireland, Scotland, into parts of northern England and as | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
well. Mild and cloudy conditions to the south-east of that, and we will | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
start to see clearer and fresher weather moving in from the west. | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
This frontal system tomorrow not going anywhere in too much of a | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
hurry, we still have our wrecks of rain through the day tomorrow, but | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
it will be an improving picture. Quite easy with that rain through | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
central parts of the country. -- outbreaks of rain. With some | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
sunshine in northern and western parts of the country, still quite | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
mild if not humid in the south and south-east, with temperatures of 21 | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
degrees. Things will start to improved through the middle part of | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
the week, so there will be a bit more brightness and dry weather for | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
Wednesday into Thursday, and it looks like things could turn quite | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
wet and windy as we end the week. Back to you both. | :15:50. | :15:57. | |
People are sending an lovely photos of coastal areas so thank you for | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
those. yes. We will be set at the coast all week. A look at the front | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
pages. The front page of the times I will begin with, this is our main | :16:08. | :16:14. | |
story this morning, the US threat to attack him after bomb threat. And a | :16:15. | :16:22. | |
lovely picture of Helen Mirren at the Venice film Festival. She and | :16:23. | :16:31. | |
Donald Sutherland have a film out. A story about a couple who go on a | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
road trip through America in a campervan. The main story also is | :16:36. | :16:42. | |
about North Korea and the escalating situation there, with the US saying | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
it is ready to annihilate North Korea. On the Sun, a story that has | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
been prevalent over the last few days, the Rooney marriage. Wayne | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
thinks it is all over with a picture of his wife. There is something | :16:56. | :17:06. | |
inside this today about a Dell. -- Adele. Yes, a scoop about Adele | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
being Nancy in the new Oliver! No cap film. -- film. And we makes the | :17:13. | :17:23. | |
front page on the Daily Mail as well. And also a story about people | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
overloading their bins and risking a ?500 worth of fines. Councils are | :17:29. | :17:35. | |
threatening new sanctions under antisocial behaviour laws. And news | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
from the business desk. Workers at two outlets of McDonald's in the UK | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
are on strike today, the first time McDonald's workers have been on | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
strike here. Partly to do with low wages. They wish to be paid more | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
zero hours contracts as well. It will be to see how that plays out as | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
McDonald's has not had to deal with that in Britain before. Inside the | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
Guardian. Maria Sharapova, out of the US Open, despite the best | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
efforts of the US television networks. She was knocked out | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
yesterday but she had four matches in a row at the US Open exclusively | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
on the main court. Very interesting. Yes. yes. Some players are not happy | :18:17. | :18:26. | |
about it. She said she would play in the parking lot but she didn't have | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
to. And this gorgeous picture here. Look at this. Isn't that beautiful? | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
That is in the Times today. The photographer captured this | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
gorgeous... I was watching that on the television yesterday. It is | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
probably a lake, isn't it? It is the horse trials. Yes. There is a | :18:48. | :18:54. | |
bridge, a horse, this is the Burleigh horse trials. It is just a | :18:55. | :19:01. | |
gorgeous photo. Are any of you any good at Scrabble? Not really. It has | :19:02. | :19:09. | |
been well tested that for some reason men are better at Scrabble | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
than women, according to the experts. Do not get annoyed at | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
being. You can work out, they have worked out why that is. Men are | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
considerably better than women at Scrabble and scientists have | :19:24. | :19:25. | |
established why. Not an innate difference in talent it is just that | :19:26. | :19:31. | |
women are far less willing to waste their time honing a largely | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
pointless skill. I was all prepared to disagree... See, you are angry | :19:36. | :19:44. | |
and then... Yes, and you win definitely. Is a good for your | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
brain, rather than pointless? I have one of those dictionaries with the | :19:51. | :19:56. | |
two letter words. I cheated once at Scrabble. You cheated? I was playing | :19:57. | :20:04. | |
with my brother, he had to go to the toilet and I grabbed all the high | :20:05. | :20:11. | |
scores. Damn, I will never trust you again. -- Dana. I did learn my | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
lesson. You're watching | :20:18. | :20:19. | |
Breakfast from BBC News. South Korea has carried out | :20:20. | :20:20. | |

that forces in England and Wales are heading towards a "perfect | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
storm" because of staff cuts Britain's coast is home | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
to 11 million people - and it's a special part | :20:39. | :20:46. | |
of our heritage and identity. But according to a new report out | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
today, many who live We're starting a series looking | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
at life in coastal communities. Breakfast's Jayne McCubbin | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
is in Weston-Super-Mare Good morning, Jane. Good morning to | :20:57. | :21:09. | |
you. Damn, you would be for given for thinking I am in Rio. Look at, | :21:10. | :21:18. | |
we brought the beach cleaners in. We are here to discuss serious things. | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
It is beautiful here in Weston-Super-Mare but research we | :21:24. | :21:25. | |
have commissioned shows that in terms of the education attainment | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
economic growth and value um too many of these gorgeous coastal | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
communities, not this one, are languishing at the bottom of the | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
table. A big announcement in terms of coastal community funding from | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
the government and just a short while on this programme. Bite we | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
went to see the tale of two towns. One it that benefit and one that has | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
yet to benefit from government funding. | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
This used to be one of the best and busiest seaside resorts in the whole | :21:55. | :22:05. | |
of Scotland. John tells me the story of a dress and. Boats going there. | :22:06. | :22:14. | |
Boats going to Belfast it was such a vibrant and lively place. But today, | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
only one ferry remains. Industry which once employed thousands has | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
gone. The beach is beautiful, but empty. How does this make you feel? | :22:25. | :22:33. | |
Very angry. A small marina now sits where the busy port once sprawled. | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
Superyacht is worth hundreds of thousands but unemployment rates are | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
amongst the very worst in the UK. Plenty feel left behind. Have you | :22:44. | :22:50. | |
given up? Pretty much. Do you feel that the powers that be care about | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
the changes that are going on in places like this? No. Definitely | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
not. They can't experience the problems because they don't see it | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
every day. A sense that the coast has been left behind is backed by | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
statistics out today. Economic growth is slower here. Over 80% of | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
people who live in these areas are paid less. The economic gap between | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
coastal and non- coastal communities is growing. The reason probably that | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
other places have done well is because governments have supported | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
city deals. We would like some of that. We need it now. We don't have | :23:24. | :23:30. | |
time to weight. But here in the west of Scotland they are still waiting | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
for funding. In the north-east, the wait is over. So much of Whitley | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
Bay's story was the same as Ardressan, a result which teamed | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
with holidaymakers, eager to visit the city with their rides, dancing | :23:45. | :23:55. | |
on the white domes. Spanish city, yes, this is my job. But now he has | :23:56. | :24:02. | |
a new top job back in Spanish city. Restoration manager. The famous | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
dome, derelict 17 years, is being ready to rip the reopened with over | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
?10 million of public money. I am honoured to be able to do this. | :24:13. | :24:15. | |
Something that is close to my heart. ?2 million has come from the | :24:16. | :24:18. | |
government was coastal communities fund. That has invested over ?170 | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
million in the last five years in areas like this and has extended | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
today with an extra ?40 million. A new restaurant here is a sign of the | :24:30. | :24:36. | |
private money quick to follow public investment. Do you think that the | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
government is doing enough? It could do a lot more. If you look around | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
the country and see how many people are living in these towns um they | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
have almost been left to die, they are as important as the people who | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
live in the big cities, aren't they? The coast of Britain has an | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
incredible story. Often a white knuckle ride to the that live there. | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
But proof here as successful as investment. No proof yet there is | :25:03. | :25:04. | |
enough investment to go around. Let's hear a bit more about how we | :25:05. | :25:14. | |
can generate some success. Come and meet some of our coastal | :25:15. | :25:17. | |
cheerleaders that we have invited down this morning. Mr Margate, Mr | :25:18. | :25:25. | |
Scarborough. Mr western supermen and Mr Boorman is. Mr Margate. You guys | :25:26. | :25:33. | |
are pictures of the. How he did. Learn from you? We had great | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
regeneration through many quarters. It was not a huge amount of funding, | :25:39. | :25:45. | |
just a small...? It was a small start at people working together | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
looking to regenerate high-street on the seafront. And from there you go | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
a lot of investment quest to mark with a lot of investment with the | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
Turner Gallery and arts through Kincaid Council. So you have done | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
well in that respect. How about you, Mr Scarborough? The whole community | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
came together to create a fantastic visitor experience. We have 1.4 | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
million visitors this year, second at the London. Second after London. | :26:13. | :26:19. | |
Investment, a maze of an -- amazing. Investment really matters. How about | :26:20. | :26:28. | |
you, Mr Weston-Super-Mare? We have the unique visitor attraction | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
history here. Visitors come here am on a regular basis. Wise investment | :26:33. | :26:40. | |
and the changing perception of what a seaside town is. It needs to be | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
current. Invest in high heritage, but it must be current. Sorry, Mr | :26:45. | :26:50. | |
Bournemouth. We will have more later. We will also be talking to | :26:51. | :26:58. | |
Gill from River cottage. He will be cooking up breakfast for a song | :26:59. | :27:01. | |
warning, talking about what would make a success of our | :27:02. | :27:03. | |
underperforming did British amazing coastline is. And I will make a | :27:04. | :27:10. | |
promise to Mr Bournemouth that he goes first next time. Definitely. | :27:11. | :27:12. | |

to use its nuclear capabilities to defend itself and its allies | :31:32. | :31:35. | |
against threats from North Korea. The White House issued the statement | :31:36. | :31:38. | |
following a phone conversation between President Trump | :31:39. | :31:40. | |

to North Korea's sixth and most powerful nuclear test, | :31:44. | :31:47. | |
which happened over the weekend. And, in ten minutes, | :31:48. | :31:53. | |

Unlucky. Go and find one. And Lewis Hamilton is looking pretty pleased. | :34:13. | :34:18. | |
And I have only just worked out he is taking a selfie. He does love a | :34:19. | :34:25. | |
selfie. I thought you had to go higher to get rid of the chance. Not | :34:26. | :34:30. | |
if you are Lewis Hamilton, he is not like the rest of us. He got booed, | :34:31. | :34:36. | |
actually. He was booed by the Italian fans, which I think is | :34:37. | :34:38. | |
fairly normal. They love Ferrari. Britain's Lewis Hamilton won | :34:39. | :34:40. | |
the Italian Grand Prix in dominant style, to take the lead | :34:41. | :34:42. | |

at Monza, finishing ahead of team-mate Valtteri Bottas, | :34:50. | :34:52. | |
for a Mercedes one-two. Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel | :34:53. | :34:54. | |

Maria Sharapova is out of the US Open. | :35:22. | :35:23. | |
The former world number one and 2006 champion had been in good form | :35:24. | :35:27. | |
on her return to Grand Slam tennis, following a 15-month doping ban. | :35:28. | :35:30. | |
But she eventually lost in the fourth round, | :35:31. | :35:32. | |
in three sets, to Anastasija Sevastova. | :35:33. | :35:34. | |
Sharapova says she is proud of her performance. | :35:35. | :35:36. | |
Chris Froome has extended his overall lead at the Vuelta a Espana. | :35:37. | :35:39. | |
On a tough day in the mountains, the Tour de France winner was able | :35:40. | :35:43. | |
to take advantage, and leads his nearest rival by over a minute. | :35:44. | :35:46. | |
Columbia's Miguel Angel Lopez took the stage win. | :35:47. | :35:48. | |
With six stages to go after today's rest day, | :35:49. | :35:51. | |
Froome looks on course to become the third man to complete | :35:52. | :35:54. | |
the Tour-Vuelta double in the same year. | :35:55. | :35:56. | |
Australian Caleb Ewan sprinted to victory on the opening stage | :35:57. | :35:59. | |
of the Tour of Britain, a 120-mile pedal from Edinburgh | :36:00. | :36:01. | |

Three of the Home Nations play World Cup qualifiers tonight. | :36:08. | :36:10. | |
Scotland host Malta, Northern Ireland take | :36:11. | :36:12. | |
on the Czech Republic, and England play Slovakia at Wembley. | :36:13. | :36:14. | |
Jordan Henderson will again captain the England side. | :36:15. | :36:16. | |
Fresh from Friday's flattering 4-0 win in Malta, the three Lions can | :36:17. | :36:20. | |
move five points clear at the top of their group, | :36:21. | :36:22. | |
and virtually secure their place in Russia next summer. | :36:23. | :36:25. | |
A win for Slovakia will see them move above England. | :36:26. | :36:36. | |
It is a great opportunity for us. A home game, we are playing good | :36:37. | :36:42. | |
opposition, so we have to make sure that we are tactically prepared, | :36:43. | :36:47. | |
which we will be. Also we have got to have belief in the team that we | :36:48. | :36:51. | |
have got. We have got some exciting players, and we want to go and show | :36:52. | :36:53. | |
that. Bath sealed their first victory | :36:54. | :36:56. | |
at Leicester since 2003, as they started their Premiership | :36:57. | :36:58. | |
season with a 27-23 win at Welford Semesa Rokoduguni scored the pick | :36:59. | :37:01. | |
of Bath's three tries, running the length of the pitch | :37:02. | :37:05. | |
and just out-sprinting fellow That was one of 50 tries scored | :37:06. | :37:07. | |
on the opening weekend, a record for the first round of | :37:08. | :37:11. | |
fixtures in the Premiership. Great Britain's Oliver Townend won | :37:12. | :37:20. | |
the second Burghley Horse Trials title of his career, | :37:21. | :37:23. | |
just two weeks on from winning European gold with the | :37:24. | :37:25. | |
British team in Poland. Riding Ballaghmor Class, | :37:26. | :37:28. | |
Townend led after the cross-country phase, and had just one fence down | :37:29. | :37:30. | |
in yesterday's show-jumping, Piggy French and Gemma Tattersall | :37:31. | :37:32. | |
came second and third. Six British riders | :37:33. | :37:36. | |
finished in the top ten. One of the best names I have ever | :37:37. | :37:55. | |
read in a sport bulletin, Piggy French. | :37:56. | :37:56. | |
Now, we talked yesterday morning about the charity football match | :37:57. | :37:59. | |
being played in memory of young Bradley Lowery, | :38:00. | :38:01. | |
the Sunderland fanatic who suffered from a rare form of cancer, | :38:02. | :38:04. | |
Well, thousands of people turned up at Everton's Goodison Park to watch | :38:05. | :38:14. | |
two teams, led by Everton legend Peter Reid and model Katie Price. | :38:15. | :38:18. | |
The Bradley Lowery Foundation, which was set up to help sick | :38:19. | :38:21. | |
children, and Everton in the Community, will benefit | :38:22. | :38:23. | |
I know lots of people were involved yesterday, we had some people who | :38:24. | :38:29. | |
are playing on the sofa yesterday. Huge squads for both sides, so | :38:30. | :38:31. | |
everybody got a game. And finally, let's take a look | :38:32. | :38:34. | |
at two of football's brightest stars While training in Manaus, | :38:35. | :38:37. | |
Neymar and Gabriel Jesus did keepy-uppies for a whole | :38:38. | :38:40. | |
lap of the pitch. That is just ridiculous. Towards the | :38:41. | :39:20. | |
end they are starting to turn around. And they were not that aware | :39:21. | :39:27. | |
that anyone was watching, they were just kind of mucking about. Very | :39:28. | :39:29. | |
impressive. Months of escalating | :39:30. | :39:30. | |
rhetoric between North Korea and the United States culminated | :39:31. | :39:32. | |
in claims of a successful nuclear weapons test by Pyongyang | :39:33. | :39:35. | |
over the weekend. The announcement of the test | :39:36. | :39:37. | |
was made on state television TRANSLATION: The test of a hydrogen | :39:38. | :39:52. | |
bomb designed to be mounted on our intercontinental ballistic missile | :39:53. | :39:56. | |
was a perfect success. It was a very meaningful step in completing the | :39:57. | :39:57. | |
National eclair weapons programme. Verifying details from North Korea | :39:58. | :40:01. | |
is notoriously difficult. But what is it like | :40:02. | :40:03. | |
living under the regime? We are joined now by Jee-Yun Park, | :40:04. | :40:05. | |
who defected in 1998. Good morning, thank you very much | :40:06. | :40:20. | |
indeed for joining us. You are sort of in a unique position to tell us | :40:21. | :40:24. | |
what life was like. What was it like living in North Korea? What kind of | :40:25. | :40:28. | |
things where you allowed to do, not allowed to do? Well, when I leave | :40:29. | :40:33. | |
North Korea, my father was a driver and my mother was a housewife. So my | :40:34. | :40:41. | |
father was proud of himself, because he was a work party member in North | :40:42. | :40:46. | |
Korea. So he always told us, when you grow up you also join the work | :40:47. | :40:54. | |
party, and start a family. So that education is not only in the home, | :40:55. | :40:59. | |
in school, and every public place everywhere, in the newspaper, TV, | :41:00. | :41:06. | |
and books, also describing everywhere the Kim family. So I was | :41:07. | :41:09. | |
brainwashed in North Korea, and I believe that North Korea was | :41:10. | :41:20. | |
stronger than other countries, and also... In early 1990s North Korea | :41:21. | :41:26. | |
started a famine and many people died of starvation in the street, | :41:27. | :41:31. | |
and my neighbours. So when we wake up, we heard that today who died of | :41:32. | :41:38. | |
starvation, and which families died in their home. But it happened in | :41:39. | :41:45. | |
1996 with my family members, my uncle died of starvation in front of | :41:46. | :41:52. | |
me. So when I saw my uncle's body, it didn't look like a person, it | :41:53. | :42:02. | |
looked like an animal, only bones. And he was small, small. So at that | :42:03. | :42:07. | |
time I looked to my father's face, but his face was darkness and he was | :42:08. | :42:12. | |
speechless. And I have got many questions at that time in my head, | :42:13. | :42:16. | |
but I couldn't have spoken out, because North Korea is a dangerous | :42:17. | :42:21. | |
country. And how did you come to leave North Korea eventually, than? | :42:22. | :42:25. | |
I never thought about leaving North Korea at that time, I continued to | :42:26. | :42:30. | |
believe in the Kim family. But in 1997 my brother joined the military, | :42:31. | :42:39. | |
and at that time there were problems, and he left the military. | :42:40. | :42:47. | |
So I left home immediately, because at that time... I waited to pass | :42:48. | :43:02. | |
away my brother's problems. My brother was alone, and died, and I | :43:03. | :43:12. | |
still don't know when my brother 's passed away, and where his body is. | :43:13. | :43:18. | |
Once in China, I thought that maybe I saved my younger brother, but I | :43:19. | :43:26. | |
was separated from my brother. So my brother was also repatriated to | :43:27. | :43:30. | |
North Korea, so it was 17 years since he disappeared. So in 2004 I | :43:31. | :43:41. | |
also repatriated in North Korea, from China. So I also repatriated in | :43:42. | :43:45. | |
North Korea and stayed in a labour camp. Thank you very much for coming | :43:46. | :43:50. | |
to talk to us on BBC Breakfast. Let's find out what is happening in | :43:51. | :43:59. | |
the weather. We have a real mix of weather types of the next few days. | :44:00. | :44:03. | |
We start the week with a lot of cloud. It is mild, murky and | :44:04. | :44:06. | |
drizzly. Things will improve with some brighter weather developing | :44:07. | :44:09. | |
through the middle of the week and then wet and windy to end the week. | :44:10. | :44:13. | |
This is how things look today. This was taken yesterday in Saint | :44:14. | :44:16. | |
Leonards on Sea, but lots of cloud and that cloud is bringing with it | :44:17. | :44:20. | |
some outbreaks of drizzly rain. This warm front has pushed its way from | :44:21. | :44:24. | |
west to east across the country during the weekend. And today it is | :44:25. | :44:27. | |
bringing us quite a damp that certainly a mild theme. For Northern | :44:28. | :44:33. | |
Ireland, most places rather grey. A few spots of drizzle. The more | :44:34. | :44:36. | |
persistent rain pushing in the western parts of Scotland. Elsewhere | :44:37. | :44:40. | |
across Scotland, at 8am a lot of low cloud. Hill fog, some drizzly rain, | :44:41. | :44:45. | |
pretty gloomy as well as we work away south across much of England | :44:46. | :44:49. | |
and Wales. So all that low cloud around but temperatures very mild | :44:50. | :44:53. | |
for the time of year, to start the day. Already in the mid-to-high | :44:54. | :44:57. | |
teens. Coming out of this cloud that we have got, some drizzly spots of | :44:58. | :45:01. | |
rain. It won't be raining all the time but a little bit of damp | :45:02. | :45:05. | |
weather across parts of Cornwall and Devon. Dry weather into southern | :45:06. | :45:08. | |
England, and into the south-west of England and East Anglia some drizzly | :45:09. | :45:11. | |
showers likely through the course of the morning. For some of us the | :45:12. | :45:17. | |
weather improve after that gloomy and grey start. Parts of southern | :45:18. | :45:20. | |
England should see a few sunny spells developing. It will feel | :45:21. | :45:24. | |
quite humid and warm, further north this frontal system moving in and | :45:25. | :45:28. | |
bringing some outbreaks of rain to Northern Ireland and Central | :45:29. | :45:31. | |
Scotland. Clearer conditions pushing into the north-west later on. In the | :45:32. | :45:34. | |
brighter weather towards the south we could see 22 or 23 degrees, and | :45:35. | :45:39. | |
it will feel quite warm and quite humid. Into the evening we will | :45:40. | :45:42. | |
start to see this front in the North peppering up once again, that will | :45:43. | :45:46. | |
bring rain quite widely through the night across Northern Ireland, | :45:47. | :45:49. | |
northern and western England and Wales as well. Dry towards the | :45:50. | :45:54. | |
south-east of that front, mild and murky, and we will start to see | :45:55. | :45:57. | |
clearer weather heading in from the north-west eventually. Through the | :45:58. | :46:00. | |
day tomorrow we will start with this front draped across many parts of | :46:01. | :46:04. | |
the country. So again we will see a lot of cloud, some outbreaks of rain | :46:05. | :46:08. | |
as well, but it will be slowly improving sort of day. The rain and | :46:09. | :46:11. | |
breezy conditions clearing towards the east. Much of eastern England | :46:12. | :46:15. | |
stay quite damp and drizzly through the day, but we will start to see | :46:16. | :46:18. | |
clearer weather from the north and west. And temperatures a little bit | :46:19. | :46:22. | |
cooler across Scotland and Northern Ireland, down towards Wales. Still | :46:23. | :46:26. | |
quite murky at 21 in the south-east. Some dry weather for the middle part | :46:27. | :46:30. | |
of the week before we see wetter and windy weather to end the week. | :46:31. | :46:33. | |
A group of leading economists thinks the rise in the cost of living may | :46:34. | :46:36. | |
soon be easing, and interest rates will stay low for longer. | :46:37. | :46:39. | |
Good news for the squeeze on household finances? | :46:40. | :46:42. | |
I have one of those leading economists with me so we will find | :46:43. | :46:50. | |
out all this important stuff in a moment. | :46:51. | :46:50. | |
Whether you're a saver, a mortgage holder, employer, | :46:51. | :46:53. | |
worker, shopper - this is effectively a survey | :46:54. | :46:55. | |
about what will happen to us all in the coming year or two. | :46:56. | :46:59. | |
We asked 30 top financial forecasters what they think | :47:00. | :47:01. | |
Most think inflation - the measure of the cost of living, | :47:02. | :47:06. | |
It's been on the rise since the vote to leave the EU as the weak pound | :47:07. | :47:15. | |
has been pushing up prices in the shops. | :47:16. | :47:17. | |
There's more good news for households more than half | :47:18. | :47:22. | |
of these economists think that wages will rise faster than prices | :47:23. | :47:25. | |
in the first half of next year, which should help ease the squeeze | :47:26. | :47:29. | |
And on interest rates, if you're trying to get a return | :47:30. | :47:34. | |
on your savings, or you've got a mortgage what will happen? | :47:35. | :47:37. | |
Well, more than half think there will be no rate rise | :47:38. | :47:40. | |
Most believe it won't be until 2019 at the earliest. | :47:41. | :47:46. | |
Interest rates are currently at an historic low of 0.25%. | :47:47. | :47:53. | |
George Buckley is chief economist at the Japanese bank Nomura. | :47:54. | :47:56. | |
Most economists think that the next rate rise will be in 2019 but you | :47:57. | :48:13. | |
don't. You are an outlier in this. What do you think will happen? We | :48:14. | :48:17. | |
thought they would raise interest rates last month so you may accuse | :48:18. | :48:22. | |
us of crying wolf but I do think the Bank of England will be looking at | :48:23. | :48:25. | |
the fact that the unemployment rate is now the lowest it has been since | :48:26. | :48:30. | |
the mid-19 70s and the economy, by most measures, is growing well. | :48:31. | :48:33. | |
Inflation is above its target and that is what the Bank of England is | :48:34. | :48:37. | |
there to do, to control inflation. Much of that is because of sterling. | :48:38. | :48:42. | |
For all those reasons I think the bank will be looking to move | :48:43. | :48:46. | |
interest rates up at a very slow and modest pace over the course of the | :48:47. | :48:50. | |
next few months. What do you think the vast majority of economists, | :48:51. | :48:53. | |
and, at the minute, the vast majority of people at the Bank of | :48:54. | :48:57. | |
England, don't think that now is the time for a rate rise. That will not | :48:58. | :49:10. | |
happen. decade. If you are the rank of England and now that rate | :49:11. | :49:16. | |
movements is quite home potent because of the number of people with | :49:17. | :49:22. | |
debt. How about savers? As nobody care about the savers? They keep | :49:23. | :49:27. | |
interest rates low and encourage economic growth which means that | :49:28. | :49:31. | |
people can save more by being employed. That is one of the reasons | :49:32. | :49:35. | |
I have kept interest rates low over the years. You can save more by | :49:36. | :49:39. | |
being employed if your wages are increasing faster than prices that | :49:40. | :49:42. | |
has not happened of late. When do you think there may be a turnaround? | :49:43. | :49:46. | |
Think inflation may continue to rise over the next few months. You make | :49:47. | :49:53. | |
peak at around 3%, we are at about 2.5 now. And then will start to | :49:54. | :49:57. | |
drop. The impact of currency takes a long time to pass through sewer | :49:58. | :50:00. | |
could take a long time for inflation to move back down to normal levels. | :50:01. | :50:06. | |
How about us and wages? Wages will start to rise than they already are. | :50:07. | :50:15. | |
Much evidence is pointing to how firms are now offering higher wages | :50:16. | :50:18. | |
and people are demanding. I think by maybe the second quarter of next | :50:19. | :50:24. | |
year we will seek wages match pace with inflation but it will take a | :50:25. | :50:27. | |
lot to make up the difference. So you will say workers get letters | :50:28. | :50:32. | |
from their bosses saying there will be pay rises in the New Year. Will | :50:33. | :50:36. | |
that happen more often? I think it will. Sigley because the | :50:37. | :50:39. | |
unemployment rate is so low. It is not a matter of how tightly labour | :50:40. | :50:43. | |
market is that it is a good one and I think it means that wages will | :50:44. | :50:48. | |
start to rise at the beginning of next year. Thank you George. Right | :50:49. | :50:57. | |
now we will look at the coastal economy. | :50:58. | :50:58. | |
You may think life's a beach living by the sea - | :50:59. | :51:01. | |
but according to a report out today Britain's seaside communities | :51:02. | :51:03. | |
are among the worst parts of the country | :51:04. | :51:05. | |
The Government is announcing an additional 40 million to help - | :51:06. | :51:09. | |
but how much difference will it make? | :51:10. | :51:11. | |
As part of a special series we're looking at life | :51:12. | :51:14. | |
Breakfast's Jayne McCubbin has more. | :51:15. | :51:21. | |
Good morning. Good morning to you both. We have been on the road, the | :51:22. | :51:33. | |
last few weeks, with our big BBC Breakfast deckchair. We have taken | :51:34. | :51:37. | |
it the length and breadth of the country, right around the coast, to | :51:38. | :51:42. | |
try to find out why our beautiful coastline is underperforming. It is | :51:43. | :51:46. | |
not underperforming here. Weston-Super-Mare is top of the | :51:47. | :51:49. | |
league table in terms of economic growth. But far too many places are | :51:50. | :51:59. | |
at the bottom of table. So we have been out asked people what they | :52:00. | :52:13. | |
think is going wrong. You can support coastal areas better if you | :52:14. | :52:19. | |
did not have to rely so much upon cars getting to these villages. Haps | :52:20. | :52:24. | |
if there was more investment in public transport. I think local | :52:25. | :52:29. | |
areas just need support from councils. There has been a lot of | :52:30. | :52:34. | |
investment but I think there is still more that could be done. To | :52:35. | :52:40. | |
improve things. Some areas still seem rundown but there is a lot | :52:41. | :52:44. | |
more... Areas that have been improved over the last few years. If | :52:45. | :52:50. | |
they want to invest in it they should invest in property that | :52:51. | :52:54. | |
people can afford to live in and work in. As soon as this place goes | :52:55. | :53:01. | |
upmarket, everything gets expensive. You see many places close down on | :53:02. | :53:07. | |
some seafronts and it is a shame because, you know, it is our | :53:08. | :53:15. | |
heritage and it needs to be kept. Some of the coastal towns are | :53:16. | :53:22. | |
rundown. I they could work towards keeping a cleaner. And more people | :53:23. | :53:30. | |
as well. Keep the people coming. Enjoy being at the seaside, even if | :53:31. | :53:37. | |
the weather is not there. Improving car parking and restaurants staying | :53:38. | :53:43. | |
open longer. Those things would help locally. There you have it. That is | :53:44. | :53:53. | |
your opinion out there, the people who live and love the coast. | :53:54. | :53:59. | |
underinvestment. Rundown. Do not exploit local assets and resources. | :54:00. | :54:03. | |
And was perfectly equipped to talk about this is ill. Good morning. You | :54:04. | :54:14. | |
are cooking up a storm. Hopefully that will not bring on the rain. And | :54:15. | :54:20. | |
you were head chef at River cottage, an award-winning writer. You would | :54:21. | :54:23. | |
have seen him on television. What do you think is going wrong with | :54:24. | :54:29. | |
Britain's posts? I think every seaside town needs to bring people | :54:30. | :54:32. | |
in. It needs to make the most of what it has. That includes its | :54:33. | :54:40. | |
high-street, it includes its good restaurants, it's watchers, it's | :54:41. | :54:45. | |
bakers, you know... Local assets? It needs to celebrate everyone and | :54:46. | :54:49. | |
everything that is great about the place. What are you cooking for this | :54:50. | :54:52. | |
morning? Well, straightaway, here is a great fish. A local Mackle caught | :54:53. | :54:59. | |
just down the coast. Beautifully fresh, straight on the barbecue. We | :55:00. | :55:05. | |
have some wild mushrooms, a completely different food source, of | :55:06. | :55:09. | |
course, some wild mushrooms did I picked these just a mile or so from | :55:10. | :55:15. | |
my house. And we will try them in a minute with some of our coastal | :55:16. | :55:19. | |
cheerleaders were going to chat to you later. So you say that we need | :55:20. | :55:22. | |
to have come to appreciate our assets more. One is that, for | :55:23. | :55:26. | |
example, that only 15% of international tourists visit our | :55:27. | :55:33. | |
coast when they come to our country? That's... It is a staggering | :55:34. | :55:35. | |
statistic. I really don't know the answer. I think that we just need to | :55:36. | :55:40. | |
shout a bit more about what beautiful seaside towns we have. | :55:41. | :55:48. | |
Where I am from, they are amazing. Let's chat to you a bit more about | :55:49. | :55:53. | |
this a little later and some of our coastal cheerleaders, the people who | :55:54. | :55:56. | |
are getting it right. But for now, back to the studio. And give very | :55:57. | :56:00. | |
much indeed. Looks like breakfast will be lovely there on the beach. | :56:01. | :56:04. | |
Yes, I do fancy a break after that, don't you? Yes. I know there are | :56:05. | :56:11. | |
issues and I will talk to the minister about them but they are | :56:12. | :56:15. | |
beautiful places to be. Don't forget to let us know what you think. Get | :56:16. | :56:17. | |
in touch via the usual channels. Hello, this is Breakfast, | :56:18. | :00:14. | |

the US is ready to use nuclear weapons to defend | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
itself and its allies. After Sunday's announcement | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
of the country's hydrogen bomb test, Washington says it will use | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
a massive military response In the last few hours, | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
South Korea carries out a missile drill simulating an attack | :00:30. | :00:41. | |
on the North's nuclear test site. Good morning, it is | :00:42. | :01:01. | |
Monday 4 September. Also this morning: The UK's coastal | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
communities are among We are live at the seaside | :01:06. | :01:07. | |

forces in England and Wales are facing a perfect storm, | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
because of staff cuts Tropical storm Harvey has caused | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
a quarter of oil and gas production in the United States to shut down, | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
so I will be taking a look at the knock-on effect for fuel | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
prices back here in the UK. In sport: Lewis Hamilton jumps | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
for joy, after snatching the Formula 1 championship lead with victory | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
at the Italian Grand Prix. This is how it is looking over | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
the Bristol Channel this morning. It is not really looking like a | :01:59. | :02:06. | |
beach day. We are talking about what is going on in our coastal | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
communities throughout the morning on BBC Breakfast. | :02:09. | :02:09. | |
And Sarah has the forecast, for there and the rest | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
It is a misty and murky start to the day, but it will feel quite warm. 22 | :02:13. | :02:22. | |
or 23 degrees for some of us later on so not too bad for the first week | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
of September. I will have all the details later on. | :02:27. | :02:27. | |
First, our main story: President Trump has warned | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
the United States is ready to use its nuclear capabilities | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
in defending itself and its allies against North Korea. | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
His comments come as the United Nations prepares for an emergency | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
session to discuss the regime's claims of a successful nuclear | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
After the North exploded a nuclear device below ground, | :02:42. | :02:51. | |
A series of missile launches above ground. | :02:52. | :02:59. | |
The military said they hit their target in the East Sea | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
It was designed to replicate an attack on North Korea's | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
Across the border over the weekend, this was how North Koreans heard | :03:07. | :03:14. | |
about the "perfect success" that was their nation's sixth | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
It was more powerful than any before, and came with claims that | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
Kim Jong-un now has the ability to order a nuclear strike | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
A few hours later, in Washington, having briefed the President, | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
the US secretary of defence gave this very stark warning. | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
Any threat to the United States or its territories, including Guam, | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
or our allies, will be met with a massive military response, | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
a response both effective and overwhelming. | :03:44. | :03:51. | |
China has a crucial role to play in this. | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
Hosting a handful of world leaders at a summit, | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
President Xi Jinping urged restraint on all sides. | :04:00. | :04:15. | |
The leaders of China and Russia promised to deal appropriately | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
The leader wants to focus on even tougher economic sanctions, | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
as the United Nations Security Council meets later. | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
What should we read into this missile test by the South? | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
The us now saying they are willing to use their nuclear capability to | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
try and stop what is going on in North Korea. How is that going on | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
where you are, in Seoul? Well, that is not what the leader of this | :04:42. | :04:49. | |
country, president Moon wants to hear. This is a man who was elected | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
to extend an olive branch and begin dialogue. Clearly that is in tatters | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
for now but nonetheless the president of this country is a man | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
who said just a few weeks ago, he promised, in fact, the guaranteed, | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
there would not be another military conflict on this peninsula. In fact, | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
if there was an attack on North Korea, it would need his permission | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
to do so. That does not really tally with what has come out of the United | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
States, and I don't just mean the rhetoric of Donald Trump, Mr Mattis, | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
who has talked about the massive military response which may come | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
North Korea's way. The massive divide is troubling, and despite | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
South Korea trying to paper over the cracks, the US is a very important | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
ally to it. It is the most important security guarantor. What Donald | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
Trump wants to achieve, and how South Korea can be achieved, as | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
well. There is a warning that policing | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
in England and Wales is facing a perfect storm, because of rising | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
crime and staff shortages. The president of the Police | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
Superintendents' Association, Gavin Thomas, will tell | :05:55. | :05:55. | |
the group's annual conference, today that the Government should | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
review funding and resources. Our home affairs correspondent | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
Danny Shaw reports. Is the thin blue line | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
becoming too thin? Yes, says the Police | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
Superintendents' Association. It is the organisation | :06:10. | :06:19. | |
which represents 1,000 middle-ranking | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
officers, the men and women who make The superintendents are concerned | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
that there are fewer police officers, working harder | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
and working longer hours, The man who leads the organisation | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
believes that is a model of policing I think it's the service of first | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
resort, I think it's the service of last resort, for many | :06:36. | :06:43. | |
people, understandably. And I think also, what | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
I've just described - I think we're also the service | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
that is everything That puts a lot of pressure | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
on police officers to try and meet And I'm not convinced | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
it is a sustainable position The Superintendents' Association | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
conducted a survey of its members 72% of those who responded said | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
they did not use all the annual 50% of superintendents said | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
they had signs of anxiety. And over a quarter, 27%, | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
were experiencing symptoms of depression, linked to the demands | :07:19. | :07:20. | |
of working in policing. The Association is known | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
for being the voice of moderation in policing, so its warnings | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
are likely to be taken seriously. The Home Office says it is piloting | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
a new national service to provide welfare support to | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
police who need it. Ministers have also been having | :07:37. | :07:38. | |
discussions with police leaders, amid calls for extra | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
police funding for forces. But no decisions | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
have yet been taken. A disturbance at Birmingham Prison, | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
which lasted for seven Inmates had refused to return | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
to their cells yesterday afternoon, and specialist staff | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
had to be called in. The jail is privately run by G4S, | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
and was the scene of a large-scale disorder in December last year, | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
which resulted in around 240 prisoners being moved | :08:04. | :08:05. | |
out of the facility. Talks resume today on trying | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
to bring back Northern Ireland's The Northern Ireland Secretary, | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
James Brokenshire, will hold separate meetings with the five | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
main Stormont parties. They will discuss the prospects | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
for restoring devolved government, Figures from last year show more | :08:20. | :08:21. | |
than 450 relatives of organ donors declined permission to donate, | :08:22. | :08:38. | |
because they were unsure NHS Blood and Transplant says donors | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
should ensure they have Last year, 457 people | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
died while on the active The cost to repair the damage caused | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
by hurricane Harvey could be as high More than 40 people have been | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
killed, and tens of thousands are continuing to be housed | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
in temporary shelters. Texas Governor Greg Abbott said | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
the damage was worse than that caused by hurricane Katrina, | :09:02. | :09:03. | |
which devastated New Orleans The landmark Queensferry Crossing | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
will be officially opened by the Queen and the Duke | :09:07. | :09:19. | |
of Edinburgh later this morning. The ceremony, at 11:00am, | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
will include an address by Nicola Catriona Renton is at | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
the crossing for us now. Now, are they ready? Good morning. | :09:26. | :09:36. | |
Good morning. Well, they are just about ready. You can see what is | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
happening behind us. The finishing touches are being put onto the | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
Queensferry Crossing, ahead of the official opening this morning. We | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
are on the south, Edinburgh side of the bridge. This is where the Queen | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
will arrive, with the Duke of Edinburgh. She will be greeted by | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
the First Minister of Scotland. You can see the lectern, where the | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
moderator from the Church of Scotland will address the bridge. -- | :10:02. | :10:08. | |
bless the bridge. There will be pipe bands, plenty of entertainment as | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
well as the ceremony here. It is fitting she is here today on four | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
September, because exactly 53 years ago, on four September 1964, she | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
opened the fourth road bridge. It sits alongside the bridge built on | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
the 19th century and this new crossing is one for the 21st | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
century. It is hoped it will still be operational in at least 120 | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
years' time. So this is quite a day and quite a landmark for this new | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
crossing in Scotland. And we can see the weather not looking great there, | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
and it is not looking great at Weston-Super-Mare, either. Keep your | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
comments coming in on that, what it is like to live there, and we will | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
get some memories of holidays from years gone by. How much have things | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
changed? I think Sarah has some coastal action for us now, as well. | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
Good morning to you. Good morning. We have some great pictures coming | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
in from around the coast. This morning quite a misty, murky and | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
muggy feel. This one was taken on the Gower Peninsula. A low cloud | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
across many parts of the country, but it is quite warm to start the | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
day. This warm front has moved its way from west to east through the | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
course of yesterday, bringing us all that rain and today it is still | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
hanging around. Quite a lot of low cloud and hill fog for Northern | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
Ireland. A grey morning and mild, temperatures of 16 degrees. More | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
persistent rain to the north-west will be more of a player later in | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
the day but certainly affecting the Western Isles of Scotland this | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
morning. The rest of Scotland fairly misty, but some fog around as well. | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
It won't be raining all the time, but it is fairly cloudy in Wales, | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
and so mist and fog. Certainly mild, 70 degrees in Cardiff first thing | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
this morning. Towards the south-west of England a few drizzly showers | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
coming out of that low cloud. So not a fantastic morning visibility light | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
across the coast. There is quite a lot of funkiness here and there are, | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
and some drizzly rain in the south-east of England of England | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
towards East Anglia and Lincolnshire as well -- fogginess. We should see | :12:17. | :12:26. | |
the skies brightening this afternoon and it will feel quite warm and | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
humid. Further north we have a weather front ringing some rain | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
across parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland. Followed by eventually | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
some clear conditions with some sunshine heading into the | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
north-west. 22 or 23 degrees for a few spots, could feel warm and humid | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
later in the day. Into the evening we have this area of rain in | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
northern England and Northern Ireland, and that peps up overnight. | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
Rain pushing across much of Scotland, down towards Wales and the | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
south-west. To the south-east of that area of rain it is still quite | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
murky and mild. Eventually we will start to see those clearer, right | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
conditions heading in from the north-west behind this front. During | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
the day tomorrow we will start with a front sitting right across the | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
country, so cloudy, drizzly startle many of us, with some heavy bursts | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
of rain. Through the day tomorrow things will start to improve as we | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
see a return to sunshine parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
and the south-west. Central and eastern parts of England fairly | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
cloudy, still a few showers around and it won't be quite as warm as it | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
is today, but still temperatures up to around 21 degrees or so. | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
Certainly quite mucky and murky over the next few days. Looking further | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
ahead this week, through the middle of the week it is looking a bit | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
fresher, with a return to some sunny spells. But rings are looking fairly | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
unsettled, and it is set to turn quite wet and quite windy before the | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
end of the week. And we are talking about Britain's coast all week. Do | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
you know how many people live there? I do, only because I have looked it | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
up, 11 million. 11 million is correct. According to a new report | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
the BBC Breakfast, many who live there really struggle financially, | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
finding the economic gap between coastal and non- coastal places has | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
grown. The government is announcing an additional ?40 million to help. | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
We are looking at life in coastal communities. | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
This used to be one of the best and busiest seaside resorts | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
John tells me the story of Ardrossan. | :14:28. | :14:43. | |
Boats going to the Isle of Man, boats going to Belfast... | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
The industry which once employed thousands has gone. | :14:47. | :14:53. | |
A small marina now sits where the busy port once sprawled. | :14:54. | :15:06. | |
There are superyachts, worth hundreds of thousands, | :15:07. | :15:08. | |
but unemployment rates amongst the very | :15:09. | :15:10. | |
In the club, plenty feel left behind. | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
Do you feel that the powers-that-be care | :15:17. | :15:23. | |
about the changes that are going | :15:24. | :15:25. | |
They can't experience the problems, because they don't see it every day. | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
A sense the coast has been left behind is backed | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
Over 80% of people who live in these areas are paid less. | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
The economic gap between coastal and non-coastal communities | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
The reason, probably, that other places have done really | :15:44. | :15:51. | |
well is because governments have | :15:52. | :15:52. | |
We need it now, we don't have time to wait. | :15:53. | :16:02. | |
But here, in the west of Scotland, they are still waiting | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
So much of Whitley Bay's story was the same as Ardrossan, | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
a resort which teemed with holidaymakers, eager to visit | :16:11. | :16:17. | |
the Spanish City, with fair rides, and dancing, | :16:18. | :16:19. | |
But now he has a new top job back in Spanish City. | :16:20. | :16:26. | |
The famous dome, derelict for 17 years, is being | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
ready be reopened with over ?10 million of public money. | :16:30. | :16:40. | |
?2 million has come from the Government's | :16:41. | :16:47. | |
That has invested over ?170 million in the last five years, | :16:48. | :16:54. | |
in areas like this, and is extended today | :16:55. | :16:56. | |
Andrew's walters are gone, but a new restaurant here is a sign | :16:57. | :17:04. | |
of the private money quick | :17:05. | :17:06. | |
Do you think that the Government is doing enough? | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
Well, I think they could do a lot more. | :17:13. | :17:14. | |
If you look around the country, and see how many people | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
are living in these towns, they have almost been left to die, | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
and they're as important as the people who | :17:23. | :17:24. | |
The coast of Britain has an incredible story. | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
Often a white knuckle ride to those that live there. | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
But proof here for successful investment. | :17:34. | :17:35. | |
No proof yet there is enough investment to go around. | :17:36. | :17:47. | |
Joining us as the MP in charge off the coast. Looking at coastal towns, | :17:48. | :17:58. | |
what has gone wrong? There are many challenges, as highlighted in your | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
report. They are often the end of the line where the train lines and | :18:03. | :18:10. | |
road lines. We need to get back to that heyday by creating a year round | :18:11. | :18:20. | |
visitor economy for them. I visited Hastings and Blackpool. It has a lot | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
to offer the people. If we look at where we filmed our piece, only 20% | :18:27. | :18:38. | |
has been paid for. The rest they have to pay themselves. Can we | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
provide cash to make changes? What we are looking at, which is why I am | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
pleased to announce another ?40 million invested in the coastal | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
communities, is a partnership approach. The government puts in | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
money to support the coastal community, including 18, and then | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
the private sector, which is involved in driving forward that | :19:01. | :19:07. | |
economy in that go to town, city, goes to make sure they grow --a | :19:08. | :19:17. | |
team. -- coastal town. But it is spread over five years and the | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
entire coast. Is very enough money? It is spread over two years in | :19:22. | :19:30. | |
England. It means there will be 131 million plus this new cash. We have | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
to be clear. The problems around the coast are not new. In 2012 we were | :19:36. | :19:42. | |
saying they have there own unique problems. You mentioned one of the | :19:43. | :19:49. | |
problems about being at the end of the line. Transport links to many of | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
these communities are difficult. You mentioned it yourself. ?40 million | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
does not solve it. It is about infrastructure. This money is not | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
about infrastructure. It is about bringing coastal communities | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
together to drive forward. Having visited the great British seaside on | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
three occasions, I can say they are great places to visit. In terms of | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
people getting there, the government in the north is investing ?12 | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
million to bring infrastructure. Look at places like Hull, benefited | :20:23. | :20:32. | |
by the M62. They are becoming better connected. This is a long-term | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
problem. What do you say to people in these committees they cannot find | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
jobs? There are big challenges with the job market. We are looking at | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
investing money to move away from a seasonal economy to a year round | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
economy. There are big problems for people finding work. Places like | :20:53. | :20:58. | |
Blackpool where we have invested in a new winter gardens conference | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
centre. Extending that season opens up Blackpool again so we can solve | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
these challenges they have. Can anything be done? Looking at this | :21:08. | :21:16. | |
research, it seems the problems are the same. The young people are | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
leaving these parts of the UK. Can something be done to stop that? Is | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
that part of the picture we will see? If I didn't think anything | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
could be done, I would not have this job. What we have done is | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
acknowledge the unique problem faced by coastal communities. Through this | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
find we are investing to grow the economy to make it attractive for | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
young people to live and have their entire career. I know young people | :21:44. | :21:52. | |
with families, if they can get a good job through the year, they | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
would want to live there too, just like all people do. We are | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
discussing that this week. Let us know if you have seen a change and | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
what is going wrong and perhaps what is going right. And now for the main | :22:07. | :22:17. | |
stories this morning. South Korea has carried out | :22:18. | :22:19. | |
a missile drill in response to North Korea's latest nuclear bomb | :22:20. | :22:21. | |
test, as Washington warned the North that any threat to America would be | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
met with an overwhelming military A senior police officer is warning | :22:26. | :22:32. | |
that forces in England and Wales are heading towards a "perfect storm" | :22:33. | :22:35. | |
because of staff cuts and rising crime. | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
You raise your finger at me. I was saying goodbye. | :22:40. | :22:51. | |
Leading economists say the rise in the cost of living may | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
Sean's here with this and the rest of the business news. | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
Leading economists say the rise in the cost of living may | :22:59. | :23:09. | |
Yes, this is a BBC survey of 30 top economists. | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
Most say they don't expect interest rates to rise until 2019, | :23:15. | :23:17. | |
meaning cheap borrowing but poor savings rates for longer. | :23:18. | :23:19. | |
They also think inflation, which is running faster than pay | :23:20. | :23:22. | |
growth, will start to peak as soon as this autumm, | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
easing the income squeeze on households. | :23:26. | :23:26. | |
The price of unleaded petrol could overtake diesel in the coming | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
days, according to a warning by the RAC. | :23:30. | :23:31. | |
The reason, it says, is the disruption caused | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
The RAC thinks the price of a litre of petrol could rise by up to 4p, | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
bringing it up to levels last seen three years ago. | :23:41. | :23:42. | |
And the first ever UK strike by McDonald's workers has begun. | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
Workers at two sites in Cambridge and south-east London walked out | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
at midnight in a 24-hour dispute over zero-hours | :23:49. | :23:50. | |
Unions say staff want an hourly wage of at least ?10 | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
McDonald says it's raised pay three times since April last year. | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
The other thing we are looking at is prices at the pumps. | :23:59. | :24:08. | |
The price of unleaded petrol could go up because of the disruption | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
Prices have been jumpy after a quarter of American production was | :24:12. | :24:21. | |
turned off after the storm. We will talk about the knock-on effect | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
globally of Tropical Storm Harvey later. Thank you. We will go back to | :24:25. | :24:33. | |
these live pictures coming in of the coastline this morning. A bit murky. | :24:34. | :24:43. | |
Still stunning. Any day is a good day to go to the beach, but the sun | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
is not out. We are talking about the issues facing people living in | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
coastal communities. Thank you for sending in your thoughts and also | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
your seaside memories. Yes. We have been asked by the team to send ours. | :25:01. | :25:13. | |
That is me! I was 13. I think we can guess who this is. That is Sean | :25:14. | :25:28. | |
somewhere in Wales. Look at you. These are classics. This is Sally on | :25:29. | :25:34. | |
a horse in Anglesey. We have a recent one of you, Dan. We had none, | :25:35. | :25:43. | |
so we made this for you instead. My mother is not at home at the minute, | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
she is visiting members of our family. Normally I would get her to | :25:50. | :26:00. | |
send me a picture. Apparently that is my face when I was at the beach. | :26:01. | :26:07. | |
Send us your pictures and tell us what you love about the coastline. | :26:08. | :26:15. | |
Sandro says many UK coastal towns are suffering because of the greed | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
from hoteliers. That is just one thought. We have beautiful beaches | :26:22. | :26:31. | |

from the BBC London newsroom Hello, this is Breakfast | :29:56. | :29:57. | |
with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. The United States says it is ready | :29:58. | :30:10. | |
to use its nuclear capabilities to defend itself and its allies | :30:11. | :30:14. | |
against threats from North Korea. The White House issued the statement | :30:15. | :30:17. | |
following a phone conversation between President Trump | :30:18. | :30:19. | |
and the Japanese Prime Minister, It was made in response | :30:20. | :30:21. | |
to North Korea's sixth and most powerful nuclear test, | :30:22. | :30:26. | |
which happened over the weekend. A senior police officer is warning | :30:27. | :30:32. | |
that forces in England and Wales are facing a perfect storm | :30:33. | :30:35. | |
because of staff cuts A new report by the Police | :30:36. | :30:38. | |
Superintendents' Association of England and Wales suggests | :30:39. | :30:44. | |

from anxiety and a quarter have The Government says it is piloting | :30:47. | :30:49. | |
a new scheme to support officers. A disturbance at Birmingham Prison, | :30:50. | :30:55. | |
which lasted for seven Inmates had refused to return | :30:56. | :30:58. | |
to their cells yesterday afternoon, and specialist staff | :30:59. | :31:06. | |
had to be called in. The jail is privately run by G4S, | :31:07. | :31:09. | |
and was the scene of a large-scale disorder in December last year, | :31:10. | :31:12. | |
which resulted in around 240 prisoners being moved | :31:13. | :31:15. | |
out of the facility. A rise in interest rates won't take | :31:16. | :31:18. | |
place for more than a year - that is according to a BBC | :31:19. | :31:22. | |
survey of economists. Most are also predicting that pay | :31:23. | :31:24. | |
rises will continue to fall behind inflation until the spring of next | :31:25. | :31:27. | |
year, continuing the renewed squeeze on the average earner's | :31:28. | :31:30. | |
living standards. Figures from last year show more | :31:31. | :31:36. | |
than 450 relatives of organ donors declined permission to donate, | :31:37. | :31:40. | |

in the United States by hurricane Harvey could be as high as $180 | :31:51. | :32:03. | |

killed, and tens of thousands are continuing to be housed | :32:08. | :32:10. | |
in temporary shelters. Texas Governor Greg Abbott said | :32:11. | :32:12. | |
the damage was worse than that caused by hurricane Katrina, | :32:13. | :32:15. | |
which devastated New Orleans A state of emergency has been | :32:16. | :32:17. | |
declared in Los Angeles, as the city battles the worst | :32:18. | :32:30. | |
wildfires in its history. Hundreds of homes | :32:31. | :32:32. | |
have been evacuated. The fires, covering about 5,000 | :32:33. | :32:34. | |
acres, started on Friday and have Do you still buy stamps? Yes, | :32:35. | :32:55. | |
occasionally. And do you combine your need for stamps with a Star | :32:56. | :32:59. | |
Wars interest? I could do that, because I do love Star Wars. | :33:00. | :33:01. | |
They are arriving from a galaxy far, far away, and bound to meet | :33:02. | :33:04. | |
with the stamp of approval from Star Wars fans. | :33:05. | :33:07. | |
Classic characters C-3PO and Chewbacca will be | :33:08. | :33:10. | |
finding their way onto an envelope near you soon, as part of a special | :33:11. | :33:13. | |
edition set of stamps to mark the release of the new Star Wars | :33:14. | :33:17. | |
There will be those old characters loved by fans, | :33:18. | :33:22. | |
Some of them even have details in fluorescent ink, | :33:23. | :33:26. | |
that will only be visible under a UV light. | :33:27. | :33:28. | |
It is the stamp that keeps on giving. I just don't have a spare UV | :33:29. | :33:36. | |
light. It is not that I don't have a spare one, I don't have a UV light. | :33:37. | :33:43. | |
I don't care, it is a Star Wars stamped, that is all I need to know. | :33:44. | :33:45. | |
Coming up on the programme, Sarah will have the weather. | :33:46. | :33:48. | |
You are going to talk about Lewis Hamilton. I was actually going to | :33:49. | :33:56. | |
talk about Chewbacca. Don't you think the Chewbacca ones will sell | :33:57. | :34:07. | |
out quickly? I love Chewbacca. Lewis Hamilton loves a bit of selfie | :34:08. | :34:10. | |
action. Britain's Lewis Hamilton won | :34:11. | :34:11. | |
the Italian Grand Prix in dominant style, to take the lead | :34:12. | :34:13. | |
in the Drivers' Championship A day after breaking the all-time | :34:14. | :34:16. | |
record for pole positions, Hamilton was in total control | :34:17. | :34:20. | |
at Monza, finishing ahead of team-mate Valtteri Bottas, | :34:21. | :34:23. | |
for a Mercedes one-two. Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel | :34:24. | :34:25. | |
was third, and is now three Maria Sharapova is | :34:26. | :34:27. | |
out of the US Open. The former world number one and 2006 | :34:28. | :34:31. | |
champion had been in good form on her return to Grand Slam tennis, | :34:32. | :34:34. | |
following a 15-month doping ban. But she eventually lost | :34:35. | :34:38. | |
in the fourth round, in three sets, to | :34:39. | :34:40. | |
Anastasija Sevastova. Sharapova says she is proud | :34:41. | :34:41. | |
of her performance. There were a lot of positives, just | :34:42. | :35:02. | |
competing in that competitive environment is what I have missed. | :35:03. | :35:06. | |
You can't replicate that anywhere, and especially at a Grand Slam. | :35:07. | :35:10. | |
Chris Froome has extended his overall lead at the Vuelta a Espana. | :35:11. | :35:13. | |
On a tough day in the mountains, the Tour de France winner was able | :35:14. | :35:17. | |
to take advantage, and leads his nearest rival by over a minute. | :35:18. | :35:20. | |
Columbia's Miguel Angel Lopez took the stage win. | :35:21. | :35:23. | |
With six stages to go after today's rest day, | :35:24. | :35:25. | |
Froome looks on course to become the third man to complete | :35:26. | :35:28. | |
the Tour-Vuelta double in the same year. | :35:29. | :35:33. | |
What do we want in our lives, perhaps a little bit more | :35:34. | :35:37. | |
excitement? Three of the Home Nations play | :35:38. | :35:40. | |
World Cup qualifiers tonight. Scotland host Malta, | :35:41. | :35:43. | |
Northern Ireland take on the Czech Republic, and England | :35:44. | :35:45. | |
play Slovakia at Wembley. Jordan Henderson will again | :35:46. | :35:48. | |
captain the England side. Fresh from Friday's flattering 4-0 | :35:49. | :35:50. | |
win in Malta, the three Lions can move five points clear | :35:51. | :35:53. | |
at the top of their group, and virtually secure their place | :35:54. | :35:56. | |
in Russia next summer. A win for Slovakia will see | :35:57. | :35:58. | |
them move above England. A home game, we're playing good | :35:59. | :36:01. | |
opposition, so we have to make sure that we're tactically | :36:02. | :36:06. | |
prepared, which we will be. Also, we've got to have belief | :36:07. | :36:08. | |
in the team that we've got. We've got some exciting players, | :36:09. | :36:11. | |
and we want to go and show that. Now, we talked yesterday morning | :36:12. | :36:18. | |
about the charity football match being played in memory | :36:19. | :36:20. | |
of young Bradley Lowery, the Sunderland fanatic who suffered | :36:21. | :36:23. | |
from a rare form of cancer, Well, thousands of people turned up | :36:24. | :36:26. | |
at Everton's Goodison Park to watch two teams, led by Everton legend | :36:27. | :36:33. | |
Peter Reid and model Katie Price. The Bradley Lowery Foundation, | :36:34. | :36:36. | |
which was set up to help sick children, and Everton | :36:37. | :36:39. | |
in the Community, will benefit And finally, let's take a look | :36:40. | :36:41. | |
at two of football's brightest stars While training in Manaus, | :36:42. | :36:53. | |
Neymar and Gabriel Jesus did keepy-uppies for a whole | :36:54. | :36:57. | |
lap of the pitch. We thought of putting the Benny Hill | :36:58. | :37:16. | |
music in, but we decided against it. There is a great one at the end | :37:17. | :37:22. | |
which dust doesn't quite make it. -- just doesn't quite make it. I think | :37:23. | :37:28. | |
it was 40. Did you count? I wondered why you had gone quiet. I was just | :37:29. | :37:33. | |
concentrating. They are quite good. If you have never experienced | :37:34. | :37:36. | |
a migraine, the symptoms are a throbbing pain | :37:37. | :37:39. | |
on one side of the head, One in seven people in the UK | :37:40. | :37:41. | |
are thought to suffer from migraines, but a recent survey | :37:42. | :37:46. | |
suggests two thirds of people don't think employers understand | :37:47. | :37:49. | |
the impact they can have. According to figures | :37:50. | :37:58. | |
from the Migraine Trust, around nine million people | :37:59. | :38:00. | |
in Britain are affected Migraine is responsible for 25 | :38:01. | :38:02. | |
million lost days at work That is a cost of ?2.25 billion | :38:03. | :38:06. | |
a year to the economy. It is also estimated to cost the NHS | :38:07. | :38:10. | |
?150 million a year in the UK, mostly due to prescriptions | :38:11. | :38:15. | |
and GP visits. We are joined now by Fiona McKenzie, | :38:16. | :38:17. | |
who has suffered migraines since she was 15, | :38:18. | :38:19. | |
and GP Dr Fari Ahmad. People watching this at home | :38:20. | :38:30. | |
thinking have I ever had a migraine? If you have had one, you know about | :38:31. | :38:34. | |
it, don't you? The difference between a headache and a full on | :38:35. | :38:38. | |
migraine is really intense, isn't it? It is astronomical. A full on | :38:39. | :38:44. | |
migraine will leave me in bed. It will leave me with a pillow over my | :38:45. | :38:48. | |
head, unable to do anything, unable to think are unable to cope with | :38:49. | :38:54. | |
life. I tend to live in a darkened on clay of website and smell and | :38:55. | :39:00. | |
light are kept out, because I can't cope with any of those things -- | :39:01. | :39:11. | |
darkened on -- enclave where site and smell and light are kept away. | :39:12. | :39:18. | |
The way you tell it, I am sure lots of people out there will have | :39:19. | :39:21. | |
enormous sympathy for you, and you will be echoing some of what they | :39:22. | :39:25. | |
feel. And how common is this, and what can be done? I think you said | :39:26. | :39:31. | |
in your intro, one in seven, one in nine people will have one. I think | :39:32. | :39:37. | |
they are a spectrum, so people can have one migraine a year, the people | :39:38. | :39:41. | |
who are having them every few days. So the treatment very much depends | :39:42. | :39:45. | |
on how it is affecting you. And I think establishing the diagnosis and | :39:46. | :39:51. | |
understanding that you have a migraine helps, and it helps work | :39:52. | :39:54. | |
out what kind of direction you will go in. We don't have a cure for | :39:55. | :39:58. | |
migraines, and it is about understanding and managing what | :39:59. | :40:01. | |
causes your problems, what causes you to have one and how do you deal | :40:02. | :40:06. | |
with it. What are the triggers for you? My dad used to have them, and | :40:07. | :40:09. | |
it was often costly and chocolate that set it off. Is it food related, | :40:10. | :40:15. | |
stress, how does it work to you? There are a combination of triggers, | :40:16. | :40:19. | |
some of them I can manage and handle, and others I can't. | :40:20. | :40:24. | |
Chocolate and red wine are sadly two of my triggers. That is really bad | :40:25. | :40:30. | |
news, isn't it? I can have a little red wine, but not very much, and not | :40:31. | :40:35. | |
very often. But I find a pressure is one of my triggers, as soon as it | :40:36. | :40:40. | |
goes above 1020 mil buys, who knew? I become much more likely to get a | :40:41. | :40:52. | |
migraine. -- millibars. A city is quite a challenging environment for | :40:53. | :40:57. | |
me to be in, and there are more studies into these environmental | :40:58. | :41:00. | |
factors. That is quite hard to manage, I can't control for that | :41:01. | :41:04. | |
kind of thing. What have your employer 's been like, in terms of | :41:05. | :41:07. | |
use managing that, and them understanding where you are coming | :41:08. | :41:11. | |
from? That is an important point to make, some good employers have been | :41:12. | :41:16. | |
willing to talk and listen to how they can best support me. It is fair | :41:17. | :41:20. | |
to say I have also had some pretty rough employment experiences, where | :41:21. | :41:24. | |
people have treated it as if it was just a headache, and they have told | :41:25. | :41:29. | |
me to kind of toughen up a bit, instead of really understanding what | :41:30. | :41:34. | |
it is like for me, and the impact it has on me. I have been very lucky I | :41:35. | :41:38. | |
managed to stay fully employed. At there are a lot of people who suffer | :41:39. | :41:46. | |
from migraines who find it hard to hold down full-time employment, or | :41:47. | :41:51. | |
any employment. And what can employers do to help? I think the | :41:52. | :41:55. | |
biggest thing is communication, and I think it is being able to speak to | :41:56. | :41:59. | |
your employer and saying this is my condition, this is how it affects | :42:00. | :42:03. | |
me. These are the things we can try and look at, and these are the | :42:04. | :42:07. | |
things we can't. I think if you understand what sets it off and the | :42:08. | :42:11. | |
things they can do to help manage, I think that is probably the biggest | :42:12. | :42:14. | |
step to understanding and managing migraines. And you talk so clearly | :42:15. | :42:17. | |
about how debilitating this can be. That can be echoed amongst many | :42:18. | :42:23. | |
other people, can't it? Exactly, and most employers have a legal | :42:24. | :42:27. | |
responsibility. If you're migraines are severe enough to impact on how | :42:28. | :42:32. | |
you work, employers need to make reasonable adjustments at work to | :42:33. | :42:35. | |
help you cope with that. And most good employers take that on-board | :42:36. | :42:39. | |
and try arrange things to get the best for both of you -- try and | :42:40. | :42:46. | |
arrange things. Thank you so much for talking about this. Unless you | :42:47. | :42:50. | |
suffer with them you cannot understand how debilitating they can | :42:51. | :42:54. | |
be. Not all disabilities are visible. It should be registered, | :42:55. | :42:59. | |
even though it can be intermittent. And Ross says I suffer from | :43:00. | :43:04. | |
migraines, and when it is bad enough I get paralysis and need medical | :43:05. | :43:14. | |
attention, the jute, -- feed tube, rehabilitation with walking. You can | :43:15. | :43:19. | |
see that in those conditions it is very difficult to walk through that. | :43:20. | :43:24. | |
If you are feeling like you cannot move, there is no way you can be a | :43:25. | :43:28. | |
productive member of society in that setting. So it is about that support | :43:29. | :43:33. | |
from employers, support from professionals, and support from | :43:34. | :43:37. | |
communities. This conversation is so important right now, because this is | :43:38. | :43:41. | |
about everyone coming around people who have migraines, and helping to | :43:42. | :43:45. | |
understand what it is like for them, and helping to look after and | :43:46. | :43:49. | |
support them through that. A lot of it is actually the anxiety that goes | :43:50. | :43:53. | |
with letting people down. The internal, I guess, frustration and | :43:54. | :44:01. | |
anxiety and exasperation. Can I just quickly ask, how long does it last | :44:02. | :44:06. | |
for you, and what gets rid of it? It is obviously not just paracetamol. | :44:07. | :44:12. | |
Mine can last anywhere between four ours ever get it early, and I take | :44:13. | :44:16. | |
the treatment that I take, too I have had ones that last three or | :44:17. | :44:21. | |
four days. And I will be under a pillow for most of that, I will try | :44:22. | :44:25. | |
and sleep as much as I can. I take preventative medicine twice a day, | :44:26. | :44:29. | |
and that helps a lot, and that has helped me get to the point where I | :44:30. | :44:33. | |
am back and able to look after myself. But it is a tough one, and a | :44:34. | :44:37. | |
lot of people are not seeking treatment for it. So people do need | :44:38. | :44:41. | |
to have conversations with their GPs about it, it is really, really | :44:42. | :44:44. | |
important. Thank you very much for sharing your experiences this | :44:45. | :44:45. | |
morning. Here is Sarah with a look | :44:46. | :44:47. | |
at this morning's weather. A mild and murky theme. Uninspiring | :44:48. | :45:08. | |
this morning. This is in Yorkshire. The reason it is so mild is because | :45:09. | :45:14. | |
of this warm front pushing across the country. It is bringing low | :45:15. | :45:19. | |
cloud. A cold front from the north-west. It will be a player | :45:20. | :45:24. | |
later on. Persistent rain in the west of Northern Ireland in | :45:25. | :45:28. | |
Scotland. Northern Ireland in Scotland, a grey day. Hill fog | :45:29. | :45:37. | |
around. Mist Andrews or. Mild. Temperatures in the mid-teens | :45:38. | :45:43. | |
already. The south-west of England, mist and fog and low cloud. We will | :45:44. | :45:51. | |
see some showers around in the west. Light winds. Fairly mild. Muggy and | :45:52. | :45:57. | |
humid. Dry weather in central and southern England. A few showers for | :45:58. | :46:04. | |
London and up towards East Anglia. Through the day, as the sunshine | :46:05. | :46:09. | |
warms things up, improving pictures, especially in east Wales, the | :46:10. | :46:13. | |
Midlands, southern England. Sunny spells breaking through the cloud. | :46:14. | :46:18. | |
The odd shower. Further north, this is working across Scotland and | :46:19. | :46:23. | |
Northern Ireland. Wetter weather. Clear conditions from the | :46:24. | :46:29. | |
north-west. 17- 22 possibly 23. Not too bad for the first week of | :46:30. | :46:34. | |
September. This evening and overnight, rain in the north and | :46:35. | :46:39. | |
west. Much of Northern Ireland, Scotland, northern England, Wales, | :46:40. | :46:45. | |
quite wet overnight. A weather front pepping up. Humid and murky on | :46:46. | :46:50. | |
Tuesday. Tuesday is dominated by this weather front sitting across | :46:51. | :46:55. | |
most of the country. It will go away towards the east. Tuesday, | :46:56. | :47:02. | |
improving. Breezy and damp and mild. Through the day, this area of rain | :47:03. | :47:08. | |
goes towards the east. Sunshine for Scotland and Northern Ireland and | :47:09. | :47:12. | |
Wales towards the south-west of England as well. Temperatures not as | :47:13. | :47:17. | |
muggy as today. 16- 21. Things will turn more fresh with sunshine and | :47:18. | :47:21. | |
showers during the middle of the week. Back to you. Think you. We are | :47:22. | :47:30. | |
talking about the ongoing effects of Tropical Storm Harvey. | :47:31. | :47:35. | |
Oil prices have been jumpy. Good morning. | :47:36. | :47:43. | |
The consequences of the storm will take some time to play out, | :47:44. | :47:46. | |
of course, particularly with the families of those who died, | :47:47. | :47:49. | |
and those made homeless by the storm. | :47:50. | :47:50. | |
But one of the more immediate effects around the world | :47:51. | :47:53. | |
is the impact on oil extraction and refining around | :47:54. | :47:56. | |
A quarter of the production in the US is offline leaving | :47:57. | :48:00. | |
a shortfall of over four million barrels a day. | :48:01. | :48:02. | |
According to the RAC that's likely to have a big impact on petrol | :48:03. | :48:06. | |
It reckons the price of a litre of petrol could rise | :48:07. | :48:09. | |
by up to 4p per litre, which would take the average price | :48:10. | :48:12. | |
That's a price not seen since December 2014. | :48:13. | :48:20. | |
Let's talk to our guest from the Portland Fuel consultancy. | :48:21. | :48:23. | |
Good morning. How much of a link is there between oil and gas production | :48:24. | :48:35. | |
in America and what we see over here? Oil, petrol, and diesel, are | :48:36. | :48:41. | |
global markets. The US is the biggest consume in the world, | :48:42. | :48:44. | |
consuming 20% of global oil production. Anything they do will | :48:45. | :48:52. | |
impact UK prices and what we pay. When we see a quarter of their | :48:53. | :48:58. | |
production switched off for the time being, what impact do we have? | :48:59. | :49:06. | |
Refineries have all shut down on the Gold Coast largely as a preventative | :49:07. | :49:13. | |
measure. -- Gulf. That is because of the flooding after the storm passed | :49:14. | :49:20. | |
through. That has left a shortfall in the petrol. We have not seen a | :49:21. | :49:29. | |
jump in petrol prices yet. We have not. There is normally a lag between | :49:30. | :49:33. | |
what happens in the wholesale markets and what happens at the | :49:34. | :49:37. | |
pumps. That is usually around 2-3 weeks. Prices have come back into | :49:38. | :49:44. | |
the bit on Friday and this morning. On Thursday night, it looks like | :49:45. | :49:57. | |
prices would be 4-5p, now it is 2-3. Not long ago we were worrying we | :49:58. | :50:03. | |
were going to get 99p. It must have a huge impact when you see a 20% | :50:04. | :50:07. | |
move in the price stability does. The prices we saw at the start of | :50:08. | :50:11. | |
last year were underplayed in terms of how far the market fell with the | :50:12. | :50:15. | |
oil surprise and shale oil production. -- supplies. We have | :50:16. | :50:25. | |
seen it go back up. When you see what petrol companies are doing, do | :50:26. | :50:31. | |
they raise, when prices go up, do they go up quicker when the oil | :50:32. | :50:36. | |
price goes down? People feel they don't go down as quickly. Not at | :50:37. | :50:42. | |
all. We analysed the data going back as far as we can. There is no | :50:43. | :50:46. | |
evidence prices rise faster than they fall. They filter through the | :50:47. | :50:51. | |
wholesale market. Everyone recognises and knows mentally when | :50:52. | :51:00. | |
prices go up. Especially when 1.20 prices are hit. You don't realise | :51:01. | :51:05. | |
when they come back up a bit. The storm in America could make things | :51:06. | :51:10. | |
more volatile? Yes. It is out in the Atlantic. It is going to be the back | :51:11. | :51:18. | |
end of this week before we know what happens after Hurricane Harvey has | :51:19. | :51:26. | |
settled down. Thank you. Petrol prices will be jumpy in the next few | :51:27. | :51:29. | |
weeks. Thank you. You may think life's | :51:30. | :51:31. | |
a beach living by the sea, but according to a report for BBC | :51:32. | :51:33. | |
Breakfast, Britain's seaside communities are among the worst | :51:34. | :51:36. | |
parts of the country The Government is announcing | :51:37. | :51:39. | |
an additional ?40 million to help, but how much difference | :51:40. | :51:47. | |
will it make? As part of a special series | :51:48. | :51:49. | |
we're looking at life Breakfast's Jayne McCubbin | :51:50. | :51:51. | |
is in Weston-Super-Mare How far will the money go? Will it | :51:52. | :52:05. | |
make a difference? She has a giant deckchair. We are bringing us this | :52:06. | :52:14. | |
week around the coast to look at all of the coastal communities to find | :52:15. | :52:18. | |
out what is happening. Today we are talking about investment, money, | :52:19. | :52:23. | |
economic growth. As we have heard this morning, too many of these | :52:24. | :52:26. | |
areas are languishing at the bottom of the table in terms of educational | :52:27. | :52:30. | |
attainment, health, economic growth, in terms of economic value. This | :52:31. | :52:37. | |
place is beautiful this morning. The sun is coming out. It is doing well. | :52:38. | :52:43. | |
It is at the top of the table. We can introduce someone from a | :52:44. | :52:49. | |
monetary foundation. You look at what was happening across the UK | :52:50. | :52:57. | |
from the coast to the centre. We have a cocktail of economic and | :52:58. | :53:01. | |
social problems in the coastal communities of the UK. Something | :53:02. | :53:04. | |
that comes up in the research is how badly paid people are in working | :53:05. | :53:11. | |
coastal communities. You earn ?4000 per year less than someone not in a | :53:12. | :53:16. | |
coastal community. In places like Scarborough, it's even worse. That | :53:17. | :53:27. | |
is stark. It is inevitable, isn't it, that cities, especially London, | :53:28. | :53:30. | |
will get more investment from government because they are of the | :53:31. | :53:38. | |
economy. We just had the government minister talking about something | :53:39. | :53:46. | |
like that. ?40 million is just a drop in the ocean compared to the | :53:47. | :53:50. | |
scale of the problems in the coastal communities of the UK, especially | :53:51. | :53:54. | |
when you compare it to other infrastructure projects taking | :53:55. | :53:58. | |
place. Over ?60 million being sent to expand. ?40 million is not that | :53:59. | :54:06. | |
much in comparison. People say it will trickle down. You think helping | :54:07. | :54:12. | |
lift the coast helps everyone equally. Why is that? We have some | :54:13. | :54:16. | |
of the biggest problems because of economic growth concentrated in a | :54:17. | :54:19. | |
small number of cities, causing housing crises and congestion. We | :54:20. | :54:26. | |
need to spread prosperity out a bit so we can take pressure off housing | :54:27. | :54:31. | |
and the transport network in cities. We need more growth by the coast. We | :54:32. | :54:37. | |
will talk to some of the cheerleaders by the coast. What is | :54:38. | :54:48. | |
the problem. The tourists left in the 60s. When that happened, we had | :54:49. | :54:54. | |
pockets of deprivation. It isn't the whole town, but it is a lot. We have | :54:55. | :55:02. | |
this downward spiral with drugs and alcoholism. It is changing. There is | :55:03. | :55:07. | |
investment. ?40 million is a catalyst for change. It is a start. | :55:08. | :55:14. | |
It will knock on. Is about collaboration with universities and | :55:15. | :55:17. | |
councils and that sort of stuff. Tony Roberston. Tourism is not the | :55:18. | :55:33. | |
answer for everything? It isn't. In Scarborough we want a digital and | :55:34. | :55:37. | |
creative economy. We need more than the rhythm. One of the greatest | :55:38. | :55:44. | |
things is the 2.5 million from the community fund. -- tourism. It has | :55:45. | :55:49. | |
created a market hall. 13 new businesses have been putting it, | :55:50. | :55:57. | |
including artisan food and creating businesses that take people on in | :55:58. | :56:01. | |
jobs are growing businesses to be it is about how to use the money. There | :56:02. | :56:06. | |
is so much to talk about this morning. Hopefully we will have more | :56:07. | :56:17. | |
time later. Tourism is an untapped resource. I wish I could use a hat | :56:18. | :56:21. | |
like that. Hello, this is Breakfast, | :56:22. | :00:16. | |
with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. Donald Trump warns North Korea - | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
the US is ready to use nuclear weapons to defend | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
itself and its allies. After Sunday's announcement | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
of the country's hydrogen bomb test, Washington says it will use | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
a massive military response In the last few hours South Korea | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
carries out a missile drill simulating an attack on the North's | :00:34. | :00:46. | |
nuclear test site. Good morning. It's Monday #4bth | :00:47. | :01:18. | |
September. Ten years ago the Government | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
identified a problem with Britain's coast. Five years ago, money was set | :01:21. | :01:27. | |
aside to try and fix it. But today, in exclusive research for BBC | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
Breakfast we've learnt that the gap between Britain's coastal | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
communities and non coastal communities is growing. It is | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
getting worse. Why are the coastal areas punching so far below their | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
weight? More live from Weston-Super-Mare later. | :01:41. | :01:47. | |
A senior police officer warns that forces in England and Wales | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
are facing a "perfect storm" because of staff cuts | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
Good morning. Will interest rates rise this year? | :01:53. | :02:02. | |
When will wages grow faster than prices? | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
I'll have some of the answers from our survey of financial forecasters. | :02:05. | :02:07. | |

And Sarah has the forecast for there and the rest of the country. | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
Good morning. It is a mild and murky start to the day. We have got a lot | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
of cloud and drizzle around, but some of us will see the sunshine | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
breaking through later on. I will bring you the details in 15 minutes. | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
Thank you, Sarah. Good morning. | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
First, our main story. President Trump has warned | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
the United States is ready to use its nuclear capabilities | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
in defending itself, and its allies, His comments come as the United | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
Nations prepares for an emergency session to discuss the regime's | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
claims of a successful nuclear After the North exploded a nuclear | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
device below ground, A series of missile | :03:06. | :03:14. | |
launches above ground. The military said they hit | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
their target in the East It was designed to replicate | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
an attack on North Korea's Across the border over the weekend, | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
this was how North Koreans heard about the "perfect success" | :03:30. | :03:38. | |
that was their nation's sixth It was more powerful than any before | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
and came with claims that Kim Jong-un now has the ability | :03:41. | :03:49. | |
to order a nuclear strike A few hours later, in Washington, | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
having briefed the President, the US Secretary of Defence gave | :03:53. | :04:01. | |
this very stark warning. Any threat to the United States | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
or its territories, including Guam, or our allies, will be met | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
with a massive military response, a response both | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
effective and overwhelming. China has a crucial | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
role to play in this. Hosting a handful of world | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
leaders at a summit, President Xi Jinping urged restraint | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
on all sides. The leaders of China and Russia | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
promised to deal appropriately The leader wants to focus on even | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
tougher economic sanctions, as the United Nations Security | :04:30. | :04:38. | |
Council meets later. We will be speaking to somebody who | :04:39. | :04:51. | |
is from North Korea in the next couple of moments or so. | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
There's a warning that policing in England and Wales is facing | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
a "perfect storm" because of rising crime and staff shortages. | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
The President of the Police Superintendents' Association, | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
Gavin Thomas, will tell the group's annual conference today | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
that the government should review funding and resources. | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
Our home affairs correspondent, Danny Shaw reports. | :05:09. | :05:10. | |
Is the thin blue line becoming too thin? | :05:11. | :05:12. | |
Yes, says the Police Superintendents' Association. | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
It's the organisation which represents 1,000 | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
middle-ranking officers, the men and women who make the key | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
The superintendents are concerned that there are fewer police | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
officers, working harder and working longer hours, in a more | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
The man who leads the organisation believes that is a model of policing | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
I think it's the service of first resort, I think it's | :05:35. | :05:42. | |
the service of last resort, for many people, understandably. | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
And I think also, what I've just described - | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
I think we're also the service that is everything | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
That puts a lot of pressure on police officers to try and meet | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
that expectation from the public and I'm not convinced | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
it's a sustainable position, in the mid-to-long term. | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
The Superintendents' Association conducted a survey of its members | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
72% of those who responded said they did not use all the annual | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
50% of superintendents said they had signs of anxiety. | :06:13. | :06:20. | |
And over a quarter, 27%, were experiencing symptoms | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
of depression, linked to the demands of working in policing. | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
The Association is known for being the voice of moderation in policing, | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
so its warnings are likely to be taken seriously. | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
The Home Office says it is piloting a new national service to provide | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
welfare support to police who need it. | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
Ministers have also been having discussions with police leaders, | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
amid calls for extra police funding for forces. | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
But no decisions have yet been taken. | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
A rise in interest rates won't take place for more than a year | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
and the squeeze in the cost of living may soon be easing. | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
This is according to a BBC survey of 30 leading economists. | :07:02. | :07:10. | |
Sean has been speaking to one. Good news? Particularly the bit on the | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
big squeeze we have talked about that for months because prices have | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
been rising faster than wages, but the economists generally think they | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
work for a lot of banks and do a lot of advising to businesses and to the | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
Government. What they say is important. They think that by the | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
beginning of next year we should see wages rising faster than prices | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
which is a good thing for anybody who haven't seen the rises and when | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
it comes to interest rates they think that actually a lot of them, | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
the most of these economists think there won't be a rise until 2019. So | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
that would make it ten years of very, very low interest rates. If | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
you are a saver you would be banging your head against a brick wall | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
thinking when am I going to get a better return? Anyone looking to a | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
fixed term mortgage, first-time buyers will be thinking how long do | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
I fix for? No rises until 2019 the economists think and hopefully the | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
squeeze on wages will be lighter in the early part of next year. | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
Thank you very much, Sean. The thing I admire about you more than | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
anything else is your ability to sneeze more than anything else! She | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
had four or five and managed to hold them all in! | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
I thought you were laughing at my story! | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
Not even a whisper. Incredible. You will have to teach me how to do | :08:37. | :08:38. | |
that later. Figures from last year show more | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
than 450 relatives of organ donors declined permission to donate | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
because they were unsure NHS Blood and Transplant says donors | :08:46. | :08:47. | |
should ensure they have Last year 457 people | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
died while on the active A state of emergency has been | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
declared in Los Angeles as the city battles the worst wildfires | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
in its history. Hundreds of homes | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
have been evacuated. The fires, covering about 5,000 | :09:09. | :09:10. | |
acres, started on Friday, and have sent plumes of smoke over | :09:11. | :09:12. | |
the city. The landmark Queensferry Crossing | :09:13. | :09:19. | |
will be officially opened by the Queen and the Duke | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
of Edinburgh later this morning. The ceremony at 11 o'clock | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
will include an address Catriona Renton is at | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
the crossing for us now. It has been quite a build up to | :09:29. | :09:40. | |
this, leant it? It certainly has. This is the next landmark in this | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
bridge's short history so far. Now, you will see the finishing touches | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
are being made. It is very quiet at the moment, but don't let that fool | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
you. When the Queen arrives she will be greeted by the First Minister, | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
Nicola Sturgeon, the bridge will be blessed by the moderator of the | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
General Assembly of the Church of Scotland and then the royal party | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
will cut the ribband and make their way across the bridge. There have | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
been a number of events so far to mark the opening of this bridge. Not | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
least at the weekend when 50,000 people selected from a ballot were | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
allowed to walks across. That's the only time that will ever happen and | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
that's because this will be a motorway. Let me say to you that it | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
is really important and fitting that today has been choosing, 4th | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
September because on 4th September 1964 the Queen opened the Forth Road | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
Bridge. That was a bridge for the 20th century. It sits alongside the | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
railway crossing and here we have it, the bridge for the 21st century | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
and beyond. Thank you very much. | :10:48. | :10:56. | |
I thought Sarah was going to give us the weather, but that's in five | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
minutes. Months of escalating | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
rhetoric between North Korea and the United States culminated | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
in claims of a successful nuclear weapons test | :11:09. | :11:10. | |
by Pyongyang over the weekend. News of the test was | :11:11. | :11:12. | |
announced on the state's TV TRANSLATION: The test of a hydrogen | :11:13. | :11:29. | |
bomb was a perfect success. It was a very meaningful step in completing | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
the national nuclear weapons programme. That was the official | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
announcement on state television. The South Korean Government said | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
there are signs there could be more missile tests by the north. | :11:44. | :11:45. | |
Let's speak to our correspondent Robin Brant, who's in Seoul. | :11:46. | :11:47. | |
What's the latest there this morning? | :11:48. | :11:58. | |
Officials saying they have seen evidence of possible preparations | :11:59. | :12:08. | |
for another round of a launch of North Korea's Intercontinental | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
ballistic missiles. If it is the case this will be a repetition of | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
what we saw a few days ago. It would be highly provocative, of course and | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
it would come if there were to be any kind of launch just off the back | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
of the country's sixth test of its nuclear weapon that we saw just some | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
24 hours ago. It is interesting the response in South Korea has been | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
from the country's military. We have seen a live fire drill take place | :12:39. | :12:45. | |
where the Air Force and the army simulated an attack by targeted an | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
area of the sea that they say was meant to replicate an attack on that | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
nuclear test site in the north. Robin, thank you very much. | :12:54. | :13:01. | |
Let's talk to Jihyun Park who grew up in North Korea | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
She decided to flee North Korea when her brother | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
was beaten to almost death for leaving the army. | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
She fled to China before eventually moving here in 2008 with her family. | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
Good morning. Thank you very much for coming back on the programme. | :13:17. | :13:24. | |
How will the news be reflected in North Korea today? Will people be | :13:25. | :13:33. | |
hearing what the reaction is? There is one channel TV and one newspaper | :13:34. | :13:43. | |
and one channel radio. At the start of the early 1990s we do not watch | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
the TV and the newspaper not allowed and we can't listen to the radio. | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
Now days many people don't know what is happening outside the country. | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
How much knowledge, when you were living there, did you have about | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
outside countries, about the United States, about Great Britain for | :14:01. | :14:08. | |
example? We learned about the United States, it was a hate country | :14:09. | :14:17. | |
including South Korea and I never learned about the United Kingdom, | :14:18. | :14:28. | |
just only England. The man is wearing the hat and the woman is | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
wearing the dress, the gentlemen and ladies, but when I arrived in the UK | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
I didn't find any gentlemen... Very different to what you were taught. | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
Things have changed a bit. You have still got family back in North | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
Korea, is that right? Do you ever think you will see them again? Do | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
you have any correspondence with those members of your family or | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
friends from back home? No, I separated from my brother in the | :14:57. | :15:04. | |
1990s so after six years after I also repatriate to North Korea and I | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
asked many people about my brother, but nobody knows about my brother. | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
So my brother has it is appeared. Sorry to hear that. Do you think | :15:15. | :15:21. | |
that people who are living in North Korea now, how will they feel about | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
the escalating tension? Will they be concerned about what is happening | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
outside the country? Do you think it is, we're doing the right thing and | :15:32. | :15:33. | |
we will be victorious? Once a week we talk about nuclear | :15:34. | :15:55. | |
weapons. I believe that North Korea is a strong country, but in the late | :15:56. | :16:10. | |
1990s, there was famine, many people escaped North Korea and went to | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
Thailand, and so they are different countries, this is not like the | :16:14. | :16:22. | |
1980s. There are 30,000 people living outside of North Korea, who | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
are contacting family in North Korea. People are changing their | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
minds about the North Korea system, but they know it is still dangerous. | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
There are systems so they cannot speak out. How concerned are you by | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
what is going on, and do you think the North Koreans, the regime is | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
considering war, and firing nuclear missiles? A few weeks ago, North | :16:47. | :16:57. | |
Korea said that they would be launching missiles, and then they | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
did exactly that. Many people are worried about this. | :17:01. | :17:12. | |
The American arming our lives in South Korea, so... -- the American | :17:13. | :17:21. | |
army now lives in South Korea. Really interesting insight, often we | :17:22. | :17:39. | |
speak to people who have never been to North Korea, the report to us | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
from Seoul, people talking about what they think may be happening | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
inside the country, so thank you for telling us so much about what it is | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
like to live there and what people may be going through. | :17:50. | :17:58. | |
A lot of cloud to start the day, some drizzle, mild out there, due | :17:59. | :18:12. | |
mid-late on today. Here is a scene from one of our weather Watchers, | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
Hornsea, in the East Riding, similar pictures up and down the country, | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
low cloud, bringing missed and hill fog, the cheekily around coastal | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
hills in the West, this warm front that is the culprit, bringing low | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
cloud and murky field to the weather, heavy rain as it moves | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
East, and today, we have the remnants of that cloud and outbreaks | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
of grisly rain. More persistent rain for Northern Ireland and for | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
Scotland. Much of England and Wales will have quite a lot of dry weather | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
but there will be a few showers coming. Sunshine returning for | :18:45. | :18:52. | |
Enniskillen, Londonderry as well, and some sunshine towards the North | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
West of Scotland. Elsewhere for Scotland and Northern Ireland, a lot | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
of cloud bringing outbreaks of rain on the frontal system, low cloud | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
means hill fog and drizzle, too, mild for this time of year. In the | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
sunnier spots, 22, 20 three degrees. Feeling quite warm. Also the chance | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
of catching a few showers, particularly across parts of Wales | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
and down towards the south-west of England. Relatively light wind, | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
relatively warm, some outbreaks of drizzle and shower room rain. Sunny | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
spells through parts of central and southern England, brightening up | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
towards the London region. A chance of a few showers through the | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
afternoon. Into the evening, rain pepping up, particularly in parts of | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
northern England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales as well. Overnight, | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
that will bring outbreaks of rain. Towards the south-east of the | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
frontal system, drier tonight, mild and murky. Clearer conditions | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
eventually working into the far north-west of the country. Through | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
the day, we have still got this frontal system lingering around. | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
That will bring outbreaks of rain, cloudy conditions through the day, | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
but it will be an improving sort of day. Rain for Northern Ireland, | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
Scotland, England and Wales, but these in the way towards the east. | :20:09. | :20:15. | |
Eastern England staying cloudy. For Scotland, Northern Ireland, down | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
towards Wales and the south-west, a return to brightness tomorrow. | :20:20. | :20:21. | |
Temperatures not quite as warm as today, still 16 to 21 degrees, | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
feeling quite pleasant where we do see the sunshine coming through. | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
After a mild and humid feel to the weather, turning fresh, by | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
Wednesday, cooler conditions, with a mix of sunshine and showers, and in | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
the true autumnal style, the weather is going downhill to end the week | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
and we will see some wet and windy weather, returning back to you both. | :20:43. | :20:49. | |
Autumnal, cannot believe you have mentioned it. There we have, the | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
A-bomb... (!) LAUGHTER Dresses with dinosaurs and a tutus | :20:56. | :21:05. | |
labelled for "girls and boys" - gender neutral clothing is a subject | :21:06. | :21:07. | |
we're hearing more and more about. Now it's emerged John Lewis is | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
getting rid of gender specific sections in its stores. We went to | :21:11. | :21:12. | |
find out what some children what they think about girls and boys | :21:13. | :21:14. | |
clothes. Boys and girls can wear the same | :21:15. | :21:30. | |
things. And they could ride the same things as well. Like a boy could | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
wear pink and a girl could wear blue. Like me. He can wear pink and | :21:35. | :21:43. | |
carry it off, I like blue, I am not saying there should be certain | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
colours or anything, that should be discouraged, whatever you feel | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
comfortable wearing, that should be it. To me, unisex is a bit bland. It | :21:50. | :21:58. | |
would be good if T-shirts that have pirates and stuff like that were for | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
girls also. Would be nice to see a girls T-shirt that is pink that | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
says, adventurer, more active, this, that and the other, does not need to | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
be tied to a colour or style. William likes stuff like cars and | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
dinosaurs and I don't like stuff like that. | :22:18. | :22:30. | |
Cheryl Rickman is co-founder of campaign group Let Clothes Be | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
Clothes. She joins us from central London. Thanks for joining us, I | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
don't want to be overly negative but for many it seems that this is adult | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
putting their politically correct attitude onto children, many of whom | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
do not care. It is not politically correct to want the best for your | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
child, this is just about removing labels, not about removing gender | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
but removing labels, instead of saying, this is for boys, this is | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
for girls and you will fit into these boxes, it is actually saying, | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
this is for girls and boys, which is what John Lewis are putting on | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
labels. It is giving them more choice. You are right, my child does | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
not care, she will buy things from the boys while, but there is lots of | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
children who do care, and have stopped buying the things they like | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
because they have been told that is not for you. The knock-on effect can | :23:21. | :23:27. | |
be very negative, some of the girls are showing lower self-esteem and | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
boys are showing lower emotional intelligence. I think that has kind | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
of started from this gender stereotyping in clothing and toys. I | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
can understand that, as some people were mentioning before we came to | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
you, there is a difference between, you know, being annoyed at the pink | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
T-shirt that says, I am a princess, and a blue T-shirt that says, I want | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
to be a builder, and the step from that to unisex clothing. You can | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
understand, I'm sure, many people saying, why are you ignoring | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
biological differences between boys and girls when it comes to clothing. | :24:03. | :24:10. | |
There are biological differences between boys and girls, but gender | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
is basically the social constructs that we read them and say, girls are | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
meant to be pretty and passive and pink and boys are meant to be tough | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
and here comes trouble and so on. And so I think that is being put in | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
thing, we are trying to enable clothing to be sold without putting | :24:31. | :24:37. | |
them into boxes. Gender neutral, the problem is, people think it is | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
beige, but it is not, it is hoping it up to the whole spectrum of | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
colour. -- opening it up. So if you are a boy or girl, go to the jump a | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
while, swap the entire spectrum, you are removing, this is for boys, this | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
is for girls, from the equation, that is all that it is, it is not | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
flooding the aisles with the colour beige, it is about colour and | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
letting girls have pirates tops. Vice versa. You choose, you be | :25:04. | :25:10. | |
yourself, let kids be kids, let clothes be close. Some of the | :25:11. | :25:13. | |
comments coming in. Blender, both my girls prefer the colour blue, the | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
oldest especially would not pay pink if you paid her. Well done John | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
Lewis, says Kate, company making modern changes. There is nothing to | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
stop kids being dressed however they like. Years ago, boys were dressed | :25:27. | :25:33. | |
in pink, fashion changes. Ridiculous, our John Lewis going to | :25:34. | :25:40. | |
eliminate men's and women's. -- are. Jim says, this is a gimmick, there | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
are gender differences, removing tags will not alter that at all. | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
What is your reaction to some of those comments? I think that just | :25:52. | :25:53. | |
shows... Good to hear there is lots of support, and the John Lewis | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
website, for example has got lots of support there, but I think that the | :25:59. | :26:05. | |
key thing there is we do not... We do not want to... It is not about... | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
The last comment, it is not about removing gender. Yes, there are | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
differences between boys and girls, actually very small, they found out, | :26:16. | :26:18. | |
in their brains, and the differences tend to be from the experiences they | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
have and the messages they say. We are not getting rid of gender, we | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
are only getting rid of labels to enable them to be all that they are. | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
So that they can choose from the wide spectrum of toys and clothes, | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
and be proud to be all that they are rather than put into these | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
categories, which can be damaging. It is a very good step forward and | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
hopefully other retailers will take on the bat on and run with it. | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
Because it is a very positive step and very important to communicate it | :26:52. | :26:54. | |
is not about getting rid of gender, it is about taking it out of the | :26:55. | :27:01. | |
equation, to give choice. -- baton. Thank you very much for your time, | :27:02. | :27:02. | |
we would love to know what you think that, get in touch. And thank you | :27:03. | :27:08. | |
for getting in touch about our series on coastal Britain, we are on | :27:09. | :27:14. | |
Weston-Super-Mare seafront, we will be finding out what it | :27:15. | :30:36. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. | :30:37. | :30:49. | |
Thank you for joining us. The headlines: The US says it's ready to | :30:50. | :30:57. | |
use nuclear capabilities to defend itself and allies from threats from | :30:58. | :31:01. | |
North Korea. The White House issued the statement following a | :31:02. | :31:04. | |
conversation between Donald Trump and the Japanese Prime Minister. It | :31:05. | :31:08. | |
was made in response to North Korea's sixth and most powerful | :31:09. | :31:12. | |
nuclear test Which happened over the weekend. | :31:13. | :31:14. | |
Police officers responsible for the day to day decisions that | :31:15. | :31:17. | |
keep us all safe are under so much pressure half are suffering | :31:18. | :31:20. | |
from anxiety and a quarter have symptoms of depression. | :31:21. | :31:24. | |
That's the finding of a new report by the Police Superintendents' | :31:25. | :31:27. | |
A disturbance at Birmingham prison which lasted seven hours has ended. | :31:28. | :31:43. | |
Inmates refused to return to their cells in the afternoon and | :31:44. | :31:48. | |
specialist staff were called in. It's privately run by G4S and was | :31:49. | :31:52. | |
the scene of a large scale disorder in December last year which resulted | :31:53. | :31:56. | |
in around 240 prisoners being moved out of the facility. A rise in | :31:57. | :32:00. | |
interest rates won't take place for more than a year according to a BBC | :32:01. | :32:04. | |
survey of economists. Most are also predicting that pay rises will | :32:05. | :32:07. | |
continue to fall behind inflation until the spring of next year, | :32:08. | :32:12. | |
continuing the renewed squeeze on the average earners' living | :32:13. | :32:15. | |
standards. Figures from last year showed that more than 450 relatives | :32:16. | :32:20. | |
of organ donors declined permission to donate because they were unsure | :32:21. | :32:26. | |
of their relatives' wishes. NHS Blood Transplant says donors | :32:27. | :32:29. | |
should ensure they've told their families what they want. Last year, | :32:30. | :32:35. | |
457 people died while own active transplant waiting list. A state of | :32:36. | :32:39. | |
emergency has been declared in LA as the city there battles the worst | :32:40. | :32:42. | |
wild giers in their history. Hundreds of homes have been | :32:43. | :32:48. | |
evacuated. The fires which have been covering 5,000 acres started on | :32:49. | :32:51. | |
Friday and have sent plumes of smoke over the city. | :32:52. | :32:54. | |
If you are a fan of stamps and Star Wars, your dreams are answered. Have | :32:55. | :33:02. | |
a look at these! The characters will be finding their way to an envelope | :33:03. | :33:06. | |
near you soon as part of a special edition of stamps to mark the | :33:07. | :33:11. | |
release of new Star Wars films in December. There'll be the | :33:12. | :33:18. | |
characters, spaceships and some have details in fluorescent ink only | :33:19. | :33:22. | |
visible if you have a handy UV light at home. It's exciting. I'm ramping | :33:23. | :33:27. | |
up my Star Wars excitement as we speak. The stamps have taken me to | :33:28. | :33:31. | |
level seven, yes. Victoria Derbyshire is on at 9 | :33:32. | :33:35. | |
o'clock this morning on BBC2. Good morning Victoria, | :33:36. | :33:40. | |
what are you covering today? Today we look into the world of | :33:41. | :33:51. | |
murky dodgy raffles on Facebook, offered prizes a shotgun, monkey. | :33:52. | :33:57. | |
The number of complaints about illegal raffles on Facebook have | :33:58. | :34:00. | |
tripled since 2013. It was a couple of quid. The point being she took | :34:01. | :34:05. | |
money for a raffle and then didn't put my numbers on the raffle and | :34:06. | :34:10. | |
when it was queried, she started the nastiness. I paid for the raffles | :34:11. | :34:15. | |
and the page wasn't there any more. I tried to in-box the girl and she | :34:16. | :34:17. | |
blocked me. The gripping BBC drama, | :34:18. | :34:21. | |
Doctor Foster's back We'll be joined by actor | :34:22. | :34:30. | |
Bertie Carvel, who plays Simon. We'll be cooking up a storm | :34:31. | :34:38. | |
on Weston-super-Mare seafront, finding out what it takes to make | :34:39. | :34:42. | |
coastal Britain great again. And the revenge thriller | :34:43. | :34:45. | |
'Tin Star' is already causing Actor Genevieve O'Reilly stars in it | :34:46. | :34:48. | |
- she'll join us later. But first let's get | :34:49. | :34:55. | |
the sport with Sally. Britain's Lewis Hamilton won | :34:56. | :35:03. | |
the Italian Grand Prix in dominant style to take the lead | :35:04. | :35:07. | |
in the drivers' championship A day after breaking | :35:08. | :35:12. | |
the all-time record for pole positions, Hamilton was in total | :35:13. | :35:18. | |
control at Monza, fnishing ahead of team-mate Valtteri Bottas | :35:19. | :35:21. | |
for a Mercedes one-two. Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel | :35:22. | :35:25. | |
was third and is now three Sharapova is out of the US Open. The | :35:26. | :35:41. | |
former world number one had been in really good form up until that | :35:42. | :35:47. | |
point. Her return to Grand Slam tennis after a 15-month doping ban, | :35:48. | :35:50. | |
of course. She lost in the third round. | :35:51. | :35:54. | |
Sharapova says she's still proud of her performance. There are a lot of | :35:55. | :36:01. | |
positives playing four matches, playing in front of a big crowd and | :36:02. | :36:06. | |
fans and just competing, you know, being in that competitive | :36:07. | :36:10. | |
environment. It's what I missed. You can't replicate that anywhere. | :36:11. | :36:14. | |
Especially at a grand slam. Qualification for next year's World | :36:15. | :36:17. | |
Cup continues this evening with three of the Home Nations in action. | :36:18. | :36:20. | |
Scotland host Malta, Northern Ireland take on the Czech Republic | :36:21. | :36:24. | |
and England will play Slovakia. Jordan Henderson will be captain | :36:25. | :36:28. | |
once again. Fresh from Friday's slightly flattering 4-0 win in | :36:29. | :36:31. | |
Malta, England have the chance to move five points clear at the top of | :36:32. | :36:38. | |
their group. Gareth Southgate has called on his side to excite the | :36:39. | :36:43. | |
Wembley crowd. It's a great opportunity for us. A home game. We | :36:44. | :36:48. | |
are playing good opposition. We have got to make sure that we are | :36:49. | :36:53. | |
tactically prepared which we will be. But also we have got to have | :36:54. | :36:57. | |
belief in the team we've got. We've got some exciting players and we | :36:58. | :37:01. | |
want to go and show that. Shall we have a look at some proper | :37:02. | :37:06. | |
excitement. If he wants his footballers to excite the crowd. | :37:07. | :37:10. | |
Maybe they should be copying the Brazilians. This is training ahead | :37:11. | :37:17. | |
of the qualifier against Colombia. Neymar and Jesus did keepy-uppies, | :37:18. | :37:21. | |
so many of them, we had to speed them up. Some Samba music as well. | :37:22. | :37:28. | |
There we go! Easy! Surely we can all do that! Flick, twist, there we go, | :37:29. | :37:34. | |
a turn, back heel. Bomb's your uncle. 49 that time. It's gone up. I | :37:35. | :37:41. | |
didn't count early enough before. That is impressive. They were | :37:42. | :37:45. | |
getting more and more elabour rate as they went. -- elaborate. | :37:46. | :37:49. | |
Thank you very much. The gripping TV drama Doctor Foster | :37:50. | :37:51. | |
is returning to our screens If you haven't seen it yet, | :37:52. | :37:55. | |
it's about a doctor We'll be speaking to actor Bertie | :37:56. | :38:00. | |
Carvel who plays Simon in a moment. But first, here he is alongside | :38:01. | :38:07. | |
co-star Suranne Jones Can't have 15 years of marriage | :38:08. | :38:11. | |
and just switch it off, can you? I thought you were doing | :38:12. | :38:26. | |
all right in London. Doing all right financially | :38:27. | :38:35. | |
but Tom's here. I know you've not seen us together | :38:36. | :38:38. | |
since it happened but whatever he goes back and tells you, | :38:39. | :38:41. | |
we get on quite well. Yeah, well, I'd like to see more | :38:42. | :38:44. | |
of him and Kate's friends are here, her family, it's clearly the best | :38:45. | :38:48. | |
thing to do. No, the difficult thing | :38:49. | :38:51. | |
was leaving in the first place but that was the right thing | :38:52. | :38:53. | |
at the time, wasn't it? Yes, I did, to give you space, | :38:54. | :38:57. | |
but hopefully two years is enough. We get a sheet, don't we, about the | :38:58. | :39:15. | |
series and what is coming up and there is a massive long list on here | :39:16. | :39:21. | |
in bold saying, stuff we cannot talk about for the second series. Bertie | :39:22. | :39:25. | |
joins us now. There's nothing I can say, I don't know why I'm here. You | :39:26. | :39:29. | |
can tell us there is a new series? It starts tomorrow night at 9. You | :39:30. | :39:36. | |
are in it? Still. And yes, I think I make it... Nearly to the end. No, | :39:37. | :39:46. | |
that sounds like I'm giving Away something. There's literally nothing | :39:47. | :39:50. | |
I can say. The devil is in the detail in terms of character. But | :39:51. | :39:56. | |
any tiny comment I make, I feel is going to be splashed across... You | :39:57. | :40:00. | |
play him absolutely brilliantly and people will have their judgments. Do | :40:01. | :40:05. | |
you like him, as a character, I mean if you met him would you like him? I | :40:06. | :40:09. | |
don't think we'd have an awful lot in common. OK. That's as far as I'll | :40:10. | :40:15. | |
be drawn. I think I make a rule of trying to leave my judgment at the | :40:16. | :40:19. | |
door when it comes to playing characters. While you are looking | :40:20. | :40:22. | |
after them and playing them, it's quite important to sort of keep an | :40:23. | :40:30. | |
objective neutrality. Afterwards, it will all come out, I'll write a | :40:31. | :40:34. | |
diary piece about what I really think about Simon Foster but for the | :40:35. | :40:38. | |
time being I have to be on his side a bit. Both you and Suranne Jones' | :40:39. | :40:47. | |
character, it's intense. What is it like off set? Do you have to stay in | :40:48. | :40:50. | |
the characters or is it laughs and jokes when you are filming? We are | :40:51. | :40:58. | |
both serious, take our work seriously and the schedule of making | :40:59. | :41:01. | |
a television programme is that you do have to stay relatively focussed | :41:02. | :41:06. | |
between takes, but no, I'm not someone who insists on being called | :41:07. | :41:12. | |
Simon off set. Not at the moment anyway. OK. Just tell us, it's so | :41:13. | :41:19. | |
exciting to go back into a seeked series. When did you know there was | :41:20. | :41:25. | |
going to be a seeked Searle series? -- second series. The response was | :41:26. | :41:31. | |
amazing in the first series, so those conversations were going on. | :41:32. | :41:34. | |
Then I think between the fourth and fifth episode, I had a conversation | :41:35. | :41:40. | |
with the producers and with Mike Butler who wrote it and they talked | :41:41. | :41:43. | |
about their ideas about where it might go. It was the morning they | :41:44. | :41:48. | |
were going into the BBC to pitch the idea. They left it a bit late. So | :41:49. | :41:56. | |
they said, we'll have to ask Bertie if he's interested and we talked | :41:57. | :42:00. | |
about where it might go. Then we spent some time developing the | :42:01. | :42:04. | |
scripts. One of the things that is great fun, we had a long lead time | :42:05. | :42:09. | |
because Suranne went and had a baby. So there was a delay in filming. | :42:10. | :42:14. | |
What that meant was that there could be a healthy prep period and lots of | :42:15. | :42:19. | |
good conversations. One thing that often happens is you don't get a lot | :42:20. | :42:24. | |
of rehearsals, so those conversations worked out. Psychology | :42:25. | :42:30. | |
is valuable. What is the secret of its success. We have seen the first | :42:31. | :42:35. | |
episode before you came in. You have seep it already! What is it that's | :42:36. | :42:41. | |
connected with viewers? Fabulous acting, obviously. Obviously. I | :42:42. | :42:48. | |
think it's... I don't know, I guess it taps into an anxiety that lots of | :42:49. | :42:53. | |
people can relate to, the anxiety of being cheated on, lied to. Hopefully | :42:54. | :42:58. | |
it's something to do with recognisable psychology and | :42:59. | :43:01. | |
character and I think Mike is brilliant at writing the epic in the | :43:02. | :43:05. | |
every day and the fact is that when these things happen in life, you end | :43:06. | :43:10. | |
up doing the most extraordinary things that wouldn't be out of place | :43:11. | :43:17. | |
in a TV drama. But he's very good at tying that to real life and | :43:18. | :43:21. | |
something every day is recognisable when he's writing it in a way that's | :43:22. | :43:28. | |
very relatable. Of course, you starred in a completely different | :43:29. | :43:34. | |
thing, Matilda. That must have been great fun to do? It was fantastic. | :43:35. | :43:41. | |
It was a magical time. Started off in Stratford-upon-Avon in 2010 in | :43:42. | :43:44. | |
the coldest winter I can remember. I was living on a house boat on a | :43:45. | :43:49. | |
frozen canal, like something out of Roald Dahl, and driving in to work | :43:50. | :43:55. | |
in a sort of tin car. Then I ended up three years later on Broadway | :43:56. | :43:58. | |
having the time of my life, you know. It was a really magical time | :43:59. | :44:04. | |
and because of the way the show is built, different teams of kids when | :44:05. | :44:10. | |
we started out, three whole teams of whole casts of kids, you know, so I | :44:11. | :44:16. | |
made all these new young friends and we did it on Broadway so this is an | :44:17. | :44:21. | |
amazing family of Matilda people. It was great fun. This is you playing | :44:22. | :44:33. | |
Rupert Murdoch as well. This guy is the only bloody fellow with the | :44:34. | :44:36. | |
British nuclear codes. I know who he is. It's his finger on the button. | :44:37. | :44:42. | |
What do they want? To overthrow the Government. | :44:43. | :44:43. | |
What? Yes, bring down Wilson, high spending, the national dead and all | :44:44. | :44:51. | |
that. It is their responsibility to | :44:52. | :45:03. | |
reverse the democratic choices they pretend to defend and replace the | :45:04. | :45:07. | |
government. A military coup. I was there at this time at The Mirror. | :45:08. | :45:13. | |
Don't you think I would have many executives were plotting? I was part | :45:14. | :45:16. | |
of this circle. And yet funnily enough, you are not in the picture. | :45:17. | :45:21. | |
I love that! And you come from a long line of journalists. Did that | :45:22. | :45:25. | |
influence your decision to play somebody like Rupert Murdoch? Yes, I | :45:26. | :45:30. | |
am wearing my grandad's watch for luck. He wrote for the Evening | :45:31. | :45:35. | |
Standard and his dad was an The Star and my father was an The Guardian. | :45:36. | :45:42. | |
Absolutely. Fleet Street Fox Inc, in some way, is in my veins. | :45:43. | :45:54. | |
-- Ink is in my veins. There is something in acting that is akin to | :45:55. | :46:02. | |
journalism. It is never too late! I would not be any good at it. You try | :46:03. | :46:06. | |
to tell the truth. It is something to do with that, this notion of | :46:07. | :46:10. | |
trying to be neutral and balanced about characters. Like Simon Foster | :46:11. | :46:22. | |
or the Trunchbull, you might not be given to sympathising with them, but | :46:23. | :46:25. | |
there is something journalistic about getting under their skin and | :46:26. | :46:29. | |
seeing the world the way they do. You certainly have. We have only | :46:30. | :46:37. | |
seen Doctor Foster because you were here and we will say nothing! It | :46:38. | :46:42. | |
returns tomorrow evening on BBC One at nine o'clock. It is average! It | :46:43. | :46:48. | |
isn't! Now there has got the weather. We have a lot of cloud | :46:49. | :46:53. | |
shrouding the skies today and it will be quite grey through most of | :46:54. | :46:58. | |
the day that some brightness here and there. This scene comes from | :46:59. | :47:02. | |
Norfolk thanks to one of our weather watchers and we have had great | :47:03. | :47:05. | |
coastal pictures this morning. Keep sending them in. Through the course | :47:06. | :47:09. | |
of the day, the weather is dominated by the warm front sitting towards | :47:10. | :47:15. | |
the east. It brought rain on Sunday and will bring more drizzle today. A | :47:16. | :47:19. | |
cold front coming from the north west which brings more persistent | :47:20. | :47:22. | |
rain and the odd rumble of thunder in parts of Northern Ireland and | :47:23. | :47:25. | |
Scotland as we head into the middle part of the day. In England and | :47:26. | :47:30. | |
Wales, dry weather, but some showers developing as the sunshine tries to | :47:31. | :47:35. | |
break holes in the cloud. Sunshine returning to parts of Northern | :47:36. | :47:39. | |
Ireland this afternoon, heading in from the North West, and the North | :47:40. | :47:42. | |
West Scotland it is turning sunnier, brighter and drier. For much of | :47:43. | :47:47. | |
Scotland we have got the cloud and rain lasting into the afternoon. | :47:48. | :47:52. | |
Into England and Wales, cloudy skies and some brightness breaking out in | :47:53. | :47:56. | |
eastern Wales, the East Midlands as well. Around the west coast, you are | :47:57. | :48:01. | |
likely to keep a low cloud. Murky, foggy conditions here, and share was | :48:02. | :48:06. | |
coming out of it as well. Temperatures on the mild side. We | :48:07. | :48:10. | |
could see up to 23 degrees in the sunnier spots that we have this | :48:11. | :48:15. | |
afternoon. Quite warm and humid for this time of year despite the cloud | :48:16. | :48:21. | |
and drizzle. Into the evening, this weather front in the north will pack | :48:22. | :48:25. | |
up, so we could see some rain quite wisely. -- pep up, so we could see | :48:26. | :48:39. | |
some rain quite widely. It will be murky. And eventually clear and | :48:40. | :48:42. | |
fresh weather moves on from the west and the North West. This is a | :48:43. | :48:45. | |
weather front on Tuesday morning sitting across much of the country | :48:46. | :48:50. | |
bringing cloud, rain and breezy conditions as well. Bear with it | :48:51. | :48:53. | |
tomorrow because it will be an improving story. We start with the | :48:54. | :48:57. | |
cloud and the rain but it will fizzle out towards the east. Eastern | :48:58. | :49:02. | |
England could stay quite murky under the cloud with some showers but | :49:03. | :49:05. | |
Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and the south-west of England will | :49:06. | :49:09. | |
see a return to something brighter tomorrow. 16 to 21, not as warm and | :49:10. | :49:15. | |
Maggie as outside today. That fresher feel to the weather | :49:16. | :49:18. | |
continues into the middle of the week. A return to sunshine, cooler | :49:19. | :49:23. | |
conditions on Wednesday into Thursday, and then things turned | :49:24. | :49:26. | |
more unsettled to enter the week. Not too bad in the middle of the | :49:27. | :49:30. | |
week and then autumnal and unsettled to end it. Thank you. We have | :49:31. | :49:36. | |
probably said this ourselves. You may think life's | :49:37. | :49:42. | |
a beach living by the sea but according to a report for BBC | :49:43. | :49:44. | |
Breakfast, Britain's seaside communities are among the worst | :49:45. | :49:47. | |
parts of the country The economic gap between coastal | :49:48. | :49:56. | |
areas and non-coastal areas has increased. | :49:57. | :49:58. | |
As part of a special series, we're looking at life on the coast. | :49:59. | :50:02. | |
The government is today announcing an additional ?40 million | :50:03. | :50:04. | |
Breakfast's Jayne McCubbin is in Weston-super-Mare for us this | :50:05. | :50:07. | |
morning finding out how far this money will go. | :50:08. | :50:10. | |
What will it be spent on and how is life on the beach today? Good | :50:11. | :50:16. | |
morning. Not just lagging behind in terms of earnings and employment but | :50:17. | :50:21. | |
in terms of education and attainment, and in terms of health | :50:22. | :50:26. | |
even. Specially in terms of this economic gap between what happens | :50:27. | :50:30. | |
and what is created on the coast at what happens in non-coastal | :50:31. | :50:33. | |
communities, it is lagging behind. We are taking the big Breakfast | :50:34. | :50:40. | |
deckchair on a tour of the nation's coastline to find out what is | :50:41. | :50:44. | |
happening. This exclusive research that we have commissioned, released | :50:45. | :50:47. | |
today, shows this negative picture generally across the country. As you | :50:48. | :50:52. | |
say, the government is investing money in coastal communities, a ?40 | :50:53. | :51:00. | |
million fund extra released today. Is it enough? We went to see the | :51:01. | :51:04. | |
tale of two towns, one that has benefited and one that has not but | :51:05. | :51:11. | |
hopes to. We want to see what we can learn from these places. Look at | :51:12. | :51:12. | |
this. This used to be one of the best | :51:13. | :51:16. | |
and busiest seaside resorts John tells me the story | :51:17. | :51:19. | |
of Ardrossan. Boats going to the Isle of Man, | :51:20. | :51:24. | |
boats going to Belfast. Industry which once employed | :51:25. | :51:27. | |
thousands has gone. A small marina now sits | :51:28. | :51:41. | |
where the busy port once sprawled. There are super yachts, | :51:42. | :51:51. | |
worth hundreds of thousands, but unemployment rates amongst | :51:52. | :51:53. | |
the very worst in the UK. In the job club, plenty | :51:54. | :52:01. | |
feel left behind. Do you feel that the powers-that-be | :52:02. | :52:03. | |
care about the changes that They don't even know | :52:04. | :52:10. | |
what the problems are. They can't experience the problems, | :52:11. | :52:20. | |
because they don't see it every day. A sense the coast has been | :52:21. | :52:23. | |
left behind is backed Over 80% of people who live in these | :52:24. | :52:25. | |
areas are paid less. The economic gap between | :52:26. | :52:30. | |
coastal and non-coastal The reason probably that other | :52:31. | :52:32. | |
places have done really well is because governments have | :52:33. | :52:37. | |
supported city deals. But here in the west of Scotland, | :52:38. | :52:39. | |
they are still waiting for funding. But in the north-east, | :52:40. | :52:51. | |
the wait is over. So much of Whitley Bay's story | :52:52. | :52:54. | |
was the same as Ardrossan, a resort which teemed | :52:55. | :52:58. | |
with holidaymakers, eager to visit the Spanish City, | :52:59. | :53:00. | |
with fair rides and dancing Hello, Mr Spanish City, | :53:01. | :53:02. | |
this is your history. Yes, I worked my way | :53:03. | :53:08. | |
up to the Waltzer, Yes, I worked my way up | :53:09. | :53:12. | |
to the Waltzer, which was probably the prime job in the Spanish | :53:13. | :53:14. | |
City at the time! But now Andrew has a new top job | :53:15. | :53:17. | |
back in Spanish City. The famous dome, derelict for 17 | :53:18. | :53:20. | |
years, is getting ready to reopen, with almost ?10 million | :53:21. | :53:24. | |
of public money. I am very honoured | :53:25. | :53:26. | |
to be able to do it. Able to bring more good times | :53:27. | :53:28. | |
back to Whitley Bay. ?2 million has come | :53:29. | :53:37. | |
from the government's That has invested over ?170 million | :53:38. | :53:39. | |
in the last five years in areas like this, and is extended | :53:40. | :53:42. | |
today with an extra ?40 million. Andrew's Waltzers are gone, | :53:43. | :53:47. | |
but a new restaurant here is a sign of the private money quick | :53:48. | :53:50. | |
to follow public investment. Do you think the government, | :53:51. | :53:58. | |
although it is doing something and you have benefited | :53:59. | :54:00. | |
from it, do you think it is doing Well, I think they | :54:01. | :54:03. | |
could do a lot more. If you look around the country, | :54:04. | :54:07. | |
and see how many people are living in these towns, | :54:08. | :54:10. | |
which have almost been left to die, and they're as important | :54:11. | :54:13. | |
as the people who live in the big The coast of Britain has | :54:14. | :54:16. | |
an incredible story, often a white-knuckle ride | :54:17. | :54:19. | |
for the communities that live there. But proof here success | :54:20. | :54:21. | |
follows investment. No proof yet there is enough | :54:22. | :54:22. | |
investment to go around. Some really serious issues to | :54:23. | :54:36. | |
explore but just before we do, this is looking good. Will Mellor is | :54:37. | :54:43. | |
here, River Cottage fame. You might have seen him on television and read | :54:44. | :54:47. | |
his books. He is cooking up a coastal feast which we will tuck | :54:48. | :54:52. | |
into in a moment. We will come back in a minute. I want to talk about | :54:53. | :54:58. | |
more serious themes. You are from the National Coastal Tourism | :54:59. | :55:02. | |
Academy. You think tourism can fix a lot of these problems, don't you? | :55:03. | :55:07. | |
You think there is much more to exploit. Tell us about your | :55:08. | :55:12. | |
research. What we have out today is new research looking at people who | :55:13. | :55:15. | |
have not stayed on the coast in the last five years and we have tried to | :55:16. | :55:19. | |
find out why, what the barriers are and how to overcome them. Things | :55:20. | :55:25. | |
like unpredictable weather, competition from overseas, too far | :55:26. | :55:28. | |
away. These are all things that are not insurmountable. There are masses | :55:29. | :55:31. | |
of opportunities of things to do when the weather is not so great. | :55:32. | :55:36. | |
Arts, culture, heritage and museums all around the coast. Nothing better | :55:37. | :55:41. | |
than walking along the beach on a cold winter's morning. This is all | :55:42. | :55:44. | |
well and good but it is kind of marketing because the weather is | :55:45. | :55:48. | |
unpredictable. It is often a lot cheaper to go for a short break | :55:49. | :55:50. | |
overseas than it is to stay somewhere like this. | :55:51. | :56:10. | |
It is probably cheaper than you think that there are offering | :56:11. | :56:12. | |
discounts on things available. And it is right here. Nobody is more | :56:13. | :56:15. | |
than 70 miles from the coast in this country so it is ideal for a short | :56:16. | :56:17. | |
break, particularly out of season. Scott, you are from the Social | :56:18. | :56:20. | |
Market Foundation, the people we employed to crunch the data, which | :56:21. | :56:22. | |
shows this negative picture around the coast. Do you agree that tourism | :56:23. | :56:26. | |
can fix a lot of these problems? I certainly think revitalising tourism | :56:27. | :56:29. | |
is part of the solution to the problems in coastal communities. I | :56:30. | :56:33. | |
think it is much more than that as well. We need more high paid work | :56:34. | :56:38. | |
along the coastline, whether that be high and manufacturing or services, | :56:39. | :56:42. | |
employment. One of the things our study shows is that people in | :56:43. | :56:50. | |
coastal communities in work are not earning very much. We need highly | :56:51. | :56:52. | |
skilled work coming to the coastline. What about investment in | :56:53. | :56:56. | |
housing? Could it be an answer to the housing problem, you suggested | :56:57. | :57:01. | |
that earlier? People living in the city, in non-coastal communities, | :57:02. | :57:03. | |
they could come and live here if things were better and | :57:04. | :57:07. | |
infrastructure was better. I think that is right. Connecting the | :57:08. | :57:12. | |
coastal towns to more thriving economies and other employment | :57:13. | :57:14. | |
sectors as part of the solution here. At the moment to many of our | :57:15. | :57:21. | |
coastal towns have problems with infrastructure. It is difficult for | :57:22. | :57:24. | |
people to get to good quality jobs whether that be by road or by rail. | :57:25. | :57:31. | |
Thank you. Mr market. There is something comedic about little feet | :57:32. | :57:38. | |
dangling on this big chair! Come and meet Michelle. You took a leap of | :57:39. | :57:42. | |
faith. You are business owner and you took a leap of faith and you | :57:43. | :57:53. | |
bought the pier. What happened? My brother and I were looking for an | :57:54. | :57:56. | |
investment and this asset had been in the same family for 64 years. It | :57:57. | :58:02. | |
came on the market very quickly. We used to grow up going on the pier | :58:03. | :58:06. | |
and we used to drive past is looking at it and we never thought we would | :58:07. | :58:11. | |
own it but it came on the market. We thought why not have a go? Why not! | :58:12. | :58:19. | |
How his business going? Was it a cold-hearted business decision or | :58:20. | :58:23. | |
was it from the heart? I think it was an emotional purchase, being | :58:24. | :58:26. | |
born and bred here. It was something that ball at our heartstrings. Is it | :58:27. | :58:32. | |
a white knuckle ride? Is it tough? It is interesting. It could be | :58:33. | :58:38. | |
better. We have had a poor season. Visitor numbers are declining. Most | :58:39. | :58:42. | |
people come here for the day rather than staying overnight. But I think | :58:43. | :58:46. | |
there is lots to be done to change that. What? The million-dollar | :58:47. | :58:51. | |
question! We don't need more of what we have got. I think we have got | :58:52. | :58:56. | |
enough of what I provide an the pier. What we need is a cultural | :58:57. | :58:59. | |
attraction, something that punches above its weight, maybe a national | :59:00. | :59:09. | |
poll, like what Banksy did a few years ago, which brought people here | :59:10. | :59:13. | |
in the wind and rain in September. This is a perfect opportunity to | :59:14. | :59:19. | |
bring in Mr Margate, but you are actually Richard, a business owner | :59:20. | :59:23. | |
in Margate. This is what Margate has done, it has created the cultural | :59:24. | :59:25. | |
asset bringing people in. Margate has done that. It's created | :59:26. | :59:34. | |
the Turner Gallery. People are coming from London and from abroad, | :59:35. | :59:38. | |
to be honest, to come and look at the gallery. We are also very lucky | :59:39. | :59:44. | |
that we have the Dreamland Heritage Park now that has been created with | :59:45. | :59:50. | |
that and we are hoping to have it as a music venue and get people here. | :59:51. | :59:55. | |
It all needs investment though doesn't it to get these things in | :59:56. | :00:01. | |
place. Let's go and chat now to Gil. Can we start dishing up, Sir? Of | :00:02. | :00:05. | |
course. This is ready now. It's a locally produced mackerel. Come on, | :00:06. | :00:09. | |
everybody, can we get everybody in to start. Grab a plate. Will, you | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
are a champion of the coast, aren't you. What is it that you love about | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
the coast? I love the food, the people, the vibrancy. I love the | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
beauty and the landscapes that surround it. But most importantly, I | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
just love being there. We all need to get out more! We are going to be | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
on the coast right throughout the week. Grab a plate everybody. From | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
now, in beautiful Weston-super-Mare, back to you. Absolutely wonderful. | :00:41. | :00:48. | |
You were talking about the beauty and how it makes you feel. Tomorrow, | :00:49. | :00:55. | |
Graham Satchell is looking at a project of how to help people with | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
lonelines and depression and anxiety. | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
All this morning we've been asking you for your favourite | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
pictures of the coast and you haven't disappointed us. | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
First up we have this picture from Jenna Morris | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
of her and her daughter 25 years apart both being buried in the sand. | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
She says it wasn't a holiday if someone wasn't buried. | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
Richard Yarnell has sent in this photo of him | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
I love the fact that they're dressed up in their coats to go to the | :01:29. | :01:45. | |
beach. A hand bag as well. | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
Louise has sent in this seaside picture of her children | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
and their cousins enjoying the beach at Bude in Cornwall. | :01:51. | :01:58. | |
That is exactly like my family holiday. | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
Finally Ian has sent this picture of his dog on a beach at Crimdon | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
in County Durham which he says is crying out for investment. | :02:07. | :02:14. | |
Next, this is me way back in the day on the beach. I was just enjoying | :02:15. | :02:24. | |
the view. I was normally in the sea. You have not changed. You look | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
exactly the same. I was 13 I think. Sean has joined us on the sofa. Talk | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
us through this one, Sean? Not as good a technique. I was more | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
horizontal than vertical. The arms are free though. Yes. Slightly | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
panicky. The cold sand on your back, a nice feeling. Never buried, no | :02:45. | :02:56. | |
sand. No sand, preferred the horses. I learnt to ride on the beach | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
because it was the only place I was allowed to go fast on the horse in | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
case I fell off. Did you gallop through the waves? Yes. I asked my | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
mother, can I have a beach picture, mum's travelling visiting various | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
members of the family at the moment so she sent me a school picture. She | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
says we went away this year the picture was taken, so the breakfast | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
team have created this pose that I would normally adopt on a beach! | :03:25. | :03:34. | |
There you go. Thank you both. We are continuing to talk about coastal | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
towns in the week. We'd love to hear your memories and | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
thoughts on the future of Coastal UK. Get in touch with us. Nominate a | :03:44. | :03:53. | |
coastal hero as well. Mine are probably the RNLI and it's probably | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
the lifeguards who're always on the beaches in North Cornwall when I'm | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
swimming. Looking after you. Yes, I see them do rescues all the time. | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
Without them, many people would be in all sorts of trouble. That's who | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
I'll nominate. I'll second that. Let's take a last brief | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
look at the headlines I'm back with more at 1. 30. Bye for | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
now. She's starred in films such | :04:15. | :06:01. | |
as The Matrix, Star Wars and Last Days Of A Princess, but now | :06:02. | :06:03. | |
Genevieve O'Reilly is in a brand The TV series is being billed | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
as a revenge-fuelled thriller. For God's sake don't | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
attempt to chew! I just bought ten jars apple sauce | :06:15. | :06:34. | |
from the last stall. You're the new police | :06:35. | :06:53. | |
chief's wife, aren't you? If I were you, I'd want | :06:54. | :07:00. | |
to be a sell-out success Lovely to see you. Set this up for | :07:01. | :07:18. | |
us. The family have moved haven't they? Yes, from London to kind of a | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
little small town in the Rocky mountains in Canada. The fictional | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
town is Little Big Bear so we filmed out there for Canada in six months. | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
How was that? Was it cold at the end of it? Yes. We started off in the | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
summer, then we filmed chronologically which was lovely but | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
all the way to December. It was very cold! We hear your beautiful accent | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
that you have for us this morning. Originally when you auditioned for | :07:51. | :07:58. | |
it, you had to try out English. I made it sound like you were putting | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
on an accent for us, playing someone on the sofa. When I first got the | :08:04. | :08:14. | |
script, actually Tim Roth's character who plays Jim Worth in it, | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
his character was Irish so I went in and met as an English character and | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
then they said to me, well, you know, we know you're Irish, would | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
you like to do it in an Irish accent and I was like wow two Irish | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
characters that's brave, well done and they went no. So yes. Would it | :08:32. | :08:40. | |
be fair to say it's quite dark? Yes. It's a thriller in essence. It's | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
quite ambitious in its cinematic scope, quite compelling. There is a | :08:47. | :08:56. | |
tragedy with the family in their first episode that is a propellor to | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
the rest of the series. It's really gripping. We have seen the first | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
episode and I'm ready for the next one! Is this true that you shot a | :09:08. | :09:17. | |
costar? Now, just chill out! I didn't actually shoot him. We were | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
on the first day we arrived, maybe I can claim jet lag, but we were | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
taken, myself and a wonderful young actor who is in it, Oliver | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
Cooper-Smith were taken to a gun range because they take their gun | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
laws very seriously and we had to use some guns. We were taken to a | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
fire range. We had all the equipment and safety gear to do some shooting | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
and he was two metres behind me, I don't know how it happened. I shot | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
in that direction towards the target but apparently a little bit of the | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
shrapnel actually hit him. He had to have it removed. I love that he | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
didn't say anything about it at the time? . He was so mute. "You appear | :09:58. | :10:04. | |
to have shot me". He moved back to London and there it was inside his | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
little chest. Did he know it was you? There was only me and him | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
there! No-one else was shooting the gun at the time. It appears to have | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
been me. Not normally what you do with your costars though. Tim Roth | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
is in it. What is he like? He's extraordinary. He's such an amazing | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
actor and I've watched his work for years and it was wonderful to get to | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
work with him. Just an awesome actor be around and to learn from and to | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
be with and we had a wonderful working relationship together, loads | :10:40. | :10:46. | |
of laughs. It was really great. Tin Star coming up. You are on stage as | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
well at the moment. But I want to talk to you about this, this is | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
general Steve in Rogue I, have a look. | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
It appears he is critical to the development | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
Given the gravity of the situation and your history with Saw, | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
we're hoping he will help us locate your father and return him | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
I'm in already. A different voice for you. What is it like being such | :11:10. | :11:37. | |
a part of such a massive much-loved series? Just wonderful. So great to | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
be a part of it. I had been a part of it when I just finished drama | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
school. I was a little part of one of the earlier ones that George | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
Lucas had done but it never made it to screen. When they rang and asked | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
me to play the same character again, it was a pretty awesome phone call | :11:57. | :12:07. | |
to get, I was like "yes please". Do you get Star Wars fans coming up to | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
you? They're so passionate and lovely. They're gorgeous. I really | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
like the Star Wars fans, they're so into the universe, they can tell me | :12:18. | :12:19. | |
things about the character that I have no idea of. You are also | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
starring in a play which is making a lot of good headlines. The Ferryman. | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
Tell us about that? It's on at the moment at the Gielgud in London. | :12:30. | :12:42. | |
Awesome cast, Laura Donnelly, Dervla Molloy and myself. Loads of | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
brilliant actors, a wonderful company to be part of and it's a | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
truly special play. Set in Northern Ireland in 1981. It is. What is | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
going on? It's set at the time of the hunger strike so there is a | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
political hot bed really that the play is kind of grounded in and one | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
of the family's characters has been missing. That's kind of the bed that | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
it's rooted in. It's really a family drama. You are so busy general | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
Steve. Thank you for popping in to see us. | :13:22. | :13:21. | |
Tin Star is on Sky Atlantic, on Thursday evening at 9 o'clock. | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
That's all from us this morning but we'll both be back tomorrow | :13:26. | :13:27. | |
Now it's time for Council House Crackdown with Michelle Ackerley. | :13:28. | :13:38. | |
My parents both grew up on council estates | :13:39. | :13:41. |
