:00:07. > :00:09.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

:00:10. > :00:14.South Korea's Navy holds live-fire drills in a show

:00:15. > :00:19.It comes as the US and China fail to agree on a way to address

:00:20. > :00:33.the escalating crisis in North Korea.

:00:34. > :00:37.Good morning, it's Tuesday the 5th of September.

:00:38. > :00:42.Also this morning, the feelgood factor of our coasts.

:00:43. > :00:49.where researchers have been harnessing the power of the ocean

:00:50. > :01:00.to help people living with anxiety, depression and loneliness.

:01:01. > :01:07.It is back to business for MPs at Westminster, as David Davis faces

:01:08. > :01:12.questions about how his Brexit negotiations are going.

:01:13. > :01:18.Good morning. I will be falling -- are we falling out of love with the

:01:19. > :01:22.humble cup of tea? Studies show that we are buying fewer teabags and more

:01:23. > :01:23.speciality and organic teas. I am in Yorkshire to find out why.

:01:24. > :01:26.And in sport, World Cup qualifying wins last night for England,

:01:27. > :01:30.Michael O'Neill's side beat the Czech Republic 2-0 in Belfast,

:01:31. > :01:32.which should guarantee them a play-off spot.

:01:33. > :01:44.It is a very mild start to the day, with temperatures as the sunrises in

:01:45. > :01:48.the high teens. Lots of cloud and drizzle about, but we should see

:01:49. > :01:49.some sunshine later. I will have the details in about 15 minutes.

:01:50. > :01:54.In the last few hours, South Korea's Navy has held major

:01:55. > :01:57.live-fire drills, in the latest show of force to North Korea.

:01:58. > :02:00.A South Korean commander said Pyonyang's forces would be "buried

:02:01. > :02:02.at sea" in the event of a further provocation.

:02:03. > :02:05.Meanwhile, international pressure continues to build against the North

:02:06. > :02:07.following its largest nuclear bomb test to date.

:02:08. > :02:09.Yesterday, the South staged a simulated attack on the North's

:02:10. > :02:11.nuclear test site involving land-based missile launchers

:02:12. > :02:16.While in New York, the United States warned the UN Security Council that

:02:17. > :02:21.Kim Jong-Un was "begging for war" and that although Washington does

:02:22. > :02:37.not want conflict, its patience was "not unlimited.

:02:38. > :02:43.Nuclear powers understand their responsibilities. Kim Jong-un shows

:02:44. > :02:47.no such understanding. His abusive use of missiles and his nuclear

:02:48. > :02:54.threats show that he is begging for war. Robin Brandt is in Seoul. We

:02:55. > :02:57.were speaking to you at this time yesterday. What has happened

:02:58. > :03:02.overnight in South Korea? More evidence of South Korea's

:03:03. > :03:06.reparations to defend this country, or maybe even to attack North Korea

:03:07. > :03:10.if they see fit. -- preparations. Yesterday the army and the air Force

:03:11. > :03:16.drop launched missiles to simulate an attack on North Korea's nuclear

:03:17. > :03:19.test site. Today we had what officials described as a massive

:03:20. > :03:24.live fire exercise carried out by the Navy. This is to reassure people

:03:25. > :03:28.hear about the high state of alert and preparedness that this country

:03:29. > :03:31.is on, and also assigned to those in North Korea and beyond about the

:03:32. > :03:37.capabilities that South Korea has. -- also a sign. Remember, this

:03:38. > :03:41.country is led by President Moon Jae-in, who wants to extend an olive

:03:42. > :03:44.branch to the north. It is a bit of a rebuke to comments by Donald Trump

:03:45. > :03:48.yesterday when he said that appeasement wasn't working. This

:03:49. > :03:52.government has restated its -- its position that it wants to see

:03:53. > :03:56.further sanctions, tougher sanctions, to try to tighten the

:03:57. > :04:00.noose around the neck of the north. But it also wants to hold out for

:04:01. > :04:02.the prospect of some kind of peace talks, certainly made comes to

:04:03. > :04:06.things like reunifying families who were split so many years ago when

:04:07. > :04:08.these countries went to war. -- certainly when it comes to things.

:04:09. > :04:11.Later on, we'll be speaking to a leading academic about China's

:04:12. > :04:19.The Brexit Secretary, David Davis, will face questions in the Commons

:04:20. > :04:20.this afternoon as MPs return to Westminster

:04:21. > :04:25.Mr Davis will give an update on last week's third round of negotiations

:04:26. > :04:27.with the European Union as Downing Street promises

:04:28. > :04:29.to "intensify" its approach to the talks.

:04:30. > :04:31.Our political correspondent Iain Watson joins us from

:04:32. > :04:45.Is David Davis likely to get a grilling? I think he probably will.

:04:46. > :04:49.It is the first opportunity for MPs returning from the summer break to

:04:50. > :04:53.ask about the progress, or lack of it, in negotiations with the EU and

:04:54. > :04:57.chief negotiator Michel Barnier. As you have said, the government has

:04:58. > :04:59.suggested they are willing to increase the pace of talks and

:05:00. > :05:03.intensify the negotiations because they are concerned they will not get

:05:04. > :05:06.on to discussing what they really want to talk about, wider trade

:05:07. > :05:10.talks with the European Union, this autumn, as originally anticipated.

:05:11. > :05:14.MPs will be concerned about that in particular. There will also be an

:05:15. > :05:18.opportunity on Thursday to discuss legislation on Brexit, what is known

:05:19. > :05:22.as the great repeal bill, the EU withdrawal bill, and MPs will again

:05:23. > :05:26.be pressing the government to say more about their vision for Brexit.

:05:27. > :05:29.This morning, the Shadow Cabinet, under Jeremy Corbyn, the Labour

:05:30. > :05:33.frontbench, will be meeting to discuss what kind of changes they

:05:34. > :05:36.want to push to that legislation. Their biggest argument is that they

:05:37. > :05:39.are suggesting the government wants to board power in Westminster when

:05:40. > :05:44.they return from Brussels after Brexit, rather than going on and in

:05:45. > :05:49.devolved to Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast. -- hoard powers. So they

:05:50. > :05:51.will be drawing up that the plan this morning and they are likely to

:05:52. > :05:55.oppose the government pretty robustly. Nonetheless, they probably

:05:56. > :05:59.don't have the votes to derail the legislation at this stage. I suspect

:06:00. > :06:01.the government will get through it, but it will be a tough first week

:06:02. > :06:06.back. Will be speaking to somebody from

:06:07. > :06:08.the SNP bit later as well. -- we will be speaking.

:06:09. > :06:12.A search is resuming this morning for a man who was swept out to sea

:06:13. > :06:17.He was knocked off rocks by a wave while he was fishing at Treyarnon

:06:18. > :06:20.Another man who also fell into the water was rescued.

:06:21. > :06:24.A report into whether social services failed a young girl

:06:25. > :06:27.who was murdered by her mother will be published today.

:06:28. > :06:30.Ayeeshia Smith died in 2014, aged 21 months.

:06:31. > :06:33.She had been left in the care of her mother, Kathryn Smith,

:06:34. > :06:35.despite concerns raised by other relatives.

:06:36. > :06:38.The findings of a serious case review will be published

:06:39. > :06:44.Islands in the Caribbean and the US state of Florida are preparing

:06:45. > :06:47.for Hurricane Irma, which is due to make landfall tomorrow morning.

:06:48. > :06:50.It's a bigger storm, both in size and wind speed,

:06:51. > :06:52.than Hurricane Harvey, which devastated the states of Texas

:06:53. > :06:57.The governor of Florida has declared a state of emergency to give local

:06:58. > :07:07.Scotland's First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, will set

:07:08. > :07:08.out her government's legislative programme this afternoon,

:07:09. > :07:11.pledging a "bold" and "ambitious" plan for the coming year.

:07:12. > :07:14.She is expected to focus on health, the economy and, principally,

:07:15. > :07:17.education, an area where opposition parties say the SNP should be

:07:18. > :07:25.Bangladeshi officials say they are running out of space

:07:26. > :07:27.to accommodate the growing number of Rohingya Muslims

:07:28. > :07:33.Nearly 90,000 people have left Myanmar since the Army there began

:07:34. > :07:44.Many say they were attacked by troops and Buddhist mobs.

:07:45. > :07:46.The BBC's India correspondent, Sanjoy Majumder, is in a refugee

:07:47. > :08:04.Well, there are two main refugee camps organised by the government

:08:05. > :08:09.and the aid agencies here. They are completely filled to capacity. What

:08:10. > :08:12.is happening with the fresh arrivals, the tens of thousands of

:08:13. > :08:15.other Rohingya Muslims who have been coming over the past few days, if

:08:16. > :08:19.they are simply building new camps. They are either coming into areas

:08:20. > :08:22.where they are just pitching tents on their own, or moving into any

:08:23. > :08:31.kind of Eldon, any kind of shelter they can find. -- any kind of

:08:32. > :08:35.holding. -- building. This morning I have seen people trying to take

:08:36. > :08:39.bamboo poles and tarpaulins and plastic sheeting to try to build

:08:40. > :08:42.some kind of shelter to protect them. The other big concern is

:08:43. > :08:46.making sure they have enough food to eat. Many of them are exhausted.

:08:47. > :08:49.They have spent several days on the road trying to get to Bangladesh

:08:50. > :08:54.from Myanmar, which is not far from where I am, and aid agencies say

:08:55. > :09:01.that it is very difficult to provide enough supplies for everybody.

:09:02. > :09:02.Sanjoy, thank you for updating us on the situation.

:09:03. > :09:04.A French court is expected to deliver verdicts today

:09:05. > :09:06.in a privacy case involving topless photographs

:09:07. > :09:10.The pictures were taken while the Duchess and her husband

:09:11. > :09:13.were on holiday in Provence five years ago, and published

:09:14. > :09:17.Four people are on trial, along with two photographers who've

:09:18. > :09:19.been charged in connection with separate pictures published

:09:20. > :09:31.And completely different photos of the Duchess on the front pages. They

:09:32. > :09:36.are expecting their third child. Yes, baby number three. Because she

:09:37. > :09:41.was feeling unwell. She has an extreme form of morning sickness.

:09:42. > :09:44.That is why they announced it now. They will have to switch to a zonal

:09:45. > :09:47.marking system now. Once you have more than two. You run out of hands,

:09:48. > :09:50.right? Yes. Congratulations to them. Large solar storms in space may have

:09:51. > :09:54.played a role in the fatal stranding of sperm whales last year

:09:55. > :09:57.on the coasts of Britain, Scientists say the 29 whales

:09:58. > :10:01.were young, well fed and free of disease, but their navigational

:10:02. > :10:04.abilities may have been disrupted Our environment correspondent,

:10:05. > :10:06.Matt McGrath, reports. Just a warning - you may find

:10:07. > :10:19.some of the pictures Crowds gathered at Hunstanton on the

:10:20. > :10:22.coast of Norfolk in February 2016 to see this ocean giant washed up on a

:10:23. > :10:28.pop your tourist beach. All around the North Sea, more than 2000 sperm

:10:29. > :10:33.whales were found stranded in the first two months of last year.

:10:34. > :10:37.Scientists were puzzled. The creatures were young, healthy and

:10:38. > :10:41.generally disease-free. Now it is thought the northern light might

:10:42. > :10:45.have played a role in their losses. The aurora are the evidences of

:10:46. > :10:50.large solar storms which distort the Earth's magnetic field. This can

:10:51. > :10:55.cause species which rely on that field for navigation, like sperm

:10:56. > :10:58.whales, to lose their way. After big solar storms in December 2015,

:10:59. > :11:01.scientists say the confused creatures swam into the shallow

:11:02. > :11:06.North Sea and beached themselves trying to find a way out. Other

:11:07. > :11:08.researchers say the theory is plausible, but argue it is

:11:09. > :11:10.impossible to prove. This time of year, many of us dread

:11:18. > :11:30.when he found a python I am not having this. Sorry, if you

:11:31. > :11:32.don't like snakes, we should have given you a warning.

:11:33. > :11:36.His mum Laura called in a reptile specialist after using a broom

:11:37. > :11:39.handle to lift the lid and seeing the creature's head pop out

:11:40. > :11:42.According to its rescuer the snake it most likely arrived

:11:43. > :11:49.via the U-bend, and is expected to make a full recovery.

:11:50. > :11:58.What about the five-year-old! That could happen to any of us. Honestly,

:11:59. > :12:02.I am never going to... Well, I am, but I never want to go to the toilet

:12:03. > :12:08.again. That is an actual fear of mind. Is it! Forget snakes on a

:12:09. > :12:13.plane, snakes in the U bend. What if you get bitten in the bits and bobs.

:12:14. > :12:23.I am with you, I understand. Just check every time. For ever. With a

:12:24. > :12:28.massive room. -- broom. We really should put a warning up that if we

:12:29. > :12:32.show it again, people do have phobias. I can't believe they have

:12:33. > :12:36.the presence of mind to take a picture. I would have screamed and

:12:37. > :12:40.Rahmat of the house. Yes, not been dramatic at all. My favourite thing

:12:41. > :12:46.from last night as the Northern Ireland fans. A brilliant result. It

:12:47. > :12:48.is just like watching Brazil. A great result. The home nations last

:12:49. > :12:50.night. The result of the evening came

:12:51. > :12:54.from Northern Ireland, who will finish second in Group C

:12:55. > :12:57.after beating the Czech Republic Jonny Evans and Chris Brunt scoring

:12:58. > :13:01.the goals for Michael O'Neill's side that should see them

:13:02. > :13:03.secure a play-off spot. England came from behind to beat

:13:04. > :13:06.Slovakia 2-1 at Wembley. Eric Dier and Marcus Rashford scored

:13:07. > :13:08.as England recovered from going a goal down

:13:09. > :13:11.after just three minutes. They will reach next year's finals

:13:12. > :13:14.if they beat Slovenia next month. It was a good night

:13:15. > :13:17.for Scotland at Hampden Park. They won 2-0 at home to Malta,

:13:18. > :13:20.which means if they can win their last two games

:13:21. > :13:23.against Slovakia and Slovenia they can qualify for

:13:24. > :13:25.the World Cup via the play-offs. Russia's Andrei Rublev has become

:13:26. > :13:28.the first teenager since 2001 to reach the quarter-finals

:13:29. > :13:31.of the US Open after he beat He now faces his childhood

:13:32. > :13:48.hero, Rafa Nadal. I mean, his proper hero. One of the

:13:49. > :13:53.reasons he wanted to play tennis, one of the people who made him want

:13:54. > :13:59.to start tennis. He has to play him next. Just get out there and beat

:14:00. > :14:05.him. That's the way to do it. Yes, easy! Let's catch up with the

:14:06. > :14:10.weather. Sarah, it feels warm, but we already have rain?

:14:11. > :14:15.Yes, that's right. A mild start to the day, but it is quite damp out

:14:16. > :14:19.there. Lots of cloud about despite the muggy field to the weather.

:14:20. > :14:24.Through the day, things should improve. Look at the temperatures at

:14:25. > :14:29.the moment. 16 or 17 before the sun comes up. So it should feel pretty

:14:30. > :14:33.warm out there. To compensate, we have quite a bit of rain. At eight

:14:34. > :14:39.o'clock this morning that rain was across the south-west of England, up

:14:40. > :14:42.into Wales as well. Cloudy and great further east. A few spots of drizzle

:14:43. > :14:47.towards London and Sussex. Further north, more persistent rain. This is

:14:48. > :14:50.down to a slow-moving weather front crossing northern England. Quite a

:14:51. > :14:54.damp day here. And improving picture in Northern Ireland. Drizzly rain

:14:55. > :14:58.this morning, but brighter conditions coming. Brighter skies

:14:59. > :15:02.arriving from the north-west in Scotland. Still grey and murky with

:15:03. > :15:06.outbreaks of rain first thing this morning. Through the day, this front

:15:07. > :15:10.producing that rain goes through the country. It is slow-moving but is

:15:11. > :15:14.pushing towards the south and the east. We will still see rain in

:15:15. > :15:17.parts of northern England and the odd rumble of thunder. To the

:15:18. > :15:21.north-west, in Scotland and Northern Ireland, clear and fresh with some

:15:22. > :15:26.showers. Still mild in the south-east, 22 or 23, and where we

:15:27. > :15:29.see the sunny spells it will be quite pleasant. In the evening

:15:30. > :15:33.hours, that rain eventually clears the east coast and we are all in

:15:34. > :15:37.that cool, fresh regime. First thing tomorrow, temperatures will be

:15:38. > :15:42.cooler than they are outside at the moment. So Wednesday should shape up

:15:43. > :15:46.fine. Once the front clears towards the east we have fresher weather

:15:47. > :15:50.moving in from the Atlantic, and although it will not be as warm, it

:15:51. > :15:54.will be much sunnier through the day tomorrow. So tomorrow is probably

:15:55. > :15:57.the best day of the week in terms of sunshine. For many of us it will be

:15:58. > :16:00.dry, just a few showers in north-west Scotland and north-west

:16:01. > :16:04.England. But with light winds across the south of the country, it should

:16:05. > :16:07.feel pleasant enough, with temperatures around 16- 19 on

:16:08. > :16:11.Wednesday. Things turn more unsettled towards the end of the

:16:12. > :16:14.week. By Thursday we see the next area of low pressure bringing rain

:16:15. > :16:19.initially to Scotland and Northern Ireland, with quite risk winds. That

:16:20. > :16:24.will slowly sinks south later in the day. Further south, still 20 degrees

:16:25. > :16:28.or so, with some sunny spells. We will continue to see low pressure

:16:29. > :16:33.dominating things through to the end of the week. It will really be quite

:16:34. > :16:36.windy in the north. There is a mix of sunshine, but with scattered

:16:37. > :16:42.showers as well, and temperatures more typical of the time of year.

:16:43. > :16:46.Around 14- 19. Certainly today, despite the muggy and cloudy start

:16:47. > :16:55.to things, many of us will see a bit of sunshine later on.

:16:56. > :17:18.Let's look at the front pages. I have plenty of lovely things to tell

:17:19. > :17:24.you. Lots of them have got pictures of the Duchess of Cambridge. She is

:17:25. > :17:30.expecting their third child. Lots of discussion in the papers about that.

:17:31. > :17:34.There is a lot of discussion about academics. This is Oxford

:17:35. > :17:39.University. The head of Oxford University is accusing ministers of

:17:40. > :17:44.behaviour. There is a crackdown on their pay packets. Also the pictures

:17:45. > :17:49.on the front page of many pages this morning. The sun are speculating on

:17:50. > :17:57.when the child was conceived. Lovely, isn't it? Probably best to

:17:58. > :18:08.move away from that. How many more girls are there, Wayne? A picture of

:18:09. > :18:13.Kim Jong-un on the front pages well. The North Korean leader again for

:18:14. > :18:20.war. That is America talking to the UN yesterday. Criminals launching

:18:21. > :18:26.hundreds of successful cyber attacks on British universities targeting

:18:27. > :18:32.science, and medical research. Research into missiles as well.

:18:33. > :18:38.Sally, lovely Sally. What have you got for us today? Plenty of lovely

:18:39. > :18:46.things. We talk about broadcasting legends. Here is one. Henry blow

:18:47. > :18:50.felled is due to retire this week at the end of this week. I say retire

:18:51. > :18:59.but he won't retire completely. He is retiring from cricket

:19:00. > :19:04.commentating. There is too many good stories but I want to share this

:19:05. > :19:10.with you for the first time on air. He was terrified. -- came in

:19:11. > :19:14.Blofeld. He took over from Brian Johnston and spoke for ten minutes

:19:15. > :19:23.without taking a breath. He looked to his right and there was no one

:19:24. > :19:29.there. Just a piece of paper that said keep going until six. -- Henry

:19:30. > :19:30.Blofeld. They were all outside laughing at him. What an amazing

:19:31. > :19:47.story. A top man. This is not quite lovely. See what

:19:48. > :19:51.he did? He made not a particularly good gesture with his middle finger

:19:52. > :19:56.last night which could potentially get him banned for England. He said

:19:57. > :20:00.it was not targeted at the rapper rebut it was some kind of

:20:01. > :20:09.communication with his friend Carl Walker. He said it was maybe a joke.

:20:10. > :20:13.It wasn't the wisest thing to do. There are cameras everywhere, the

:20:14. > :20:15.world is watching, just be aware of that, maybe. See you a little bit

:20:16. > :20:16.later. Whether it's the soothing sound

:20:17. > :20:19.of the waves or the sand between your toes, a trip

:20:24. > :20:25.whether so-called "blue health" could be used to help people

:20:26. > :20:27.living with anxiety, depression and loneliness -

:20:28. > :20:30.even if they can't get to the coast. Breakfast's Graham Satchell has been

:20:31. > :20:51.looking into this and he's I then to really need to ask that.

:20:52. > :20:59.Are you awake? I'm very relaxed in our ostentatiously oversized

:21:00. > :21:02.deckchair. It is a little dark this morning but over there in the

:21:03. > :21:08.estuary, one of the most beautiful places in the country. A trip to the

:21:09. > :21:11.seaside can lift the spirits and has a restorative quality. Mental health

:21:12. > :21:15.therapists are becoming more interested in what they are calling

:21:16. > :21:20.blue health, the therapeutic power of the sea. We have been looking at

:21:21. > :21:24.one project based down here which is using VR technology to try and

:21:25. > :21:26.capture that therapeutic qualities of people that cannot get to the

:21:27. > :21:43.coast themselves. We are off the coast on a vote owned

:21:44. > :21:48.by the -- charity. There are people here who are living with anxiety and

:21:49. > :21:53.depression. Something special about being on the water. It's such a

:21:54. > :21:56.calming place. You can leave whatever troubles you have got

:21:57. > :22:03.behind and you can escape. Close your eyes. There are group sessions

:22:04. > :22:06.on board and everyone works as part of the crew but the charity says the

:22:07. > :22:10.city itself has a therapeutic quality. Bello there is something

:22:11. > :22:13.going on that is quite hard to define. It is something to do with

:22:14. > :22:19.space, something to do with challenge, power. Ian started

:22:20. > :22:23.feeling depressed and withdrawn after retiring from the fire

:22:24. > :22:28.service. There is something eternal about the sea and water. I'm so

:22:29. > :22:32.lucky to be living in Cornwall. To have a pension and to be able to do

:22:33. > :22:40.this. What about people who don't live near the coast? A team of

:22:41. > :22:45.researchers from the University of Exeter, a 360 virtual reality camera

:22:46. > :22:48.and a drone. They are tried to capture the power of the coastal

:22:49. > :22:52.people who can't get that themselves. There is quite a lot of

:22:53. > :22:57.evidence now that suggests that having exposure to natural specs can

:22:58. > :23:02.be helpful in terms of stress reduction, combating depression,

:23:03. > :23:05.psychological well-being, bringing that in four people who cannot

:23:06. > :23:11.access it themselves. In our projects, it is for people who are

:23:12. > :23:15.living in care homes who can't get outside easily. The project is part

:23:16. > :23:21.of much larger European research into so-called blue health. Will it

:23:22. > :23:30.work? Irra I will pop the earphones down. --I will pop the earphones

:23:31. > :23:36.down. Dicky is trying it on volunteers. It is beautiful,

:23:37. > :23:45.amazing. Some of the pictures are calm and relaxing. Others are more

:23:46. > :23:51.into rap is and stimulating. Oh! The turtle is coming behind me! I

:23:52. > :23:56.thought it was a really interesting experience. It's not something I had

:23:57. > :24:04.done before. It feels like you are there. Where did you come from?

:24:05. > :24:08.Anything connected with the sea or rivers or water, it certainly takes

:24:09. > :24:13.away some of the day-to-day drudgery of life. What we wanted to do was

:24:14. > :24:16.test whether these environment really were relaxing and stimulating

:24:17. > :24:21.and today we found that actually, where people reacted to them was the

:24:22. > :24:27.way we hoped. We will definitely be taking those videos forward now into

:24:28. > :24:32.our care homes project. Nicky will take a headset into care homes next

:24:33. > :24:37.year to bring blue health to those who can't access themselves. Really

:24:38. > :24:41.interesting thing those people with those headsets.

:24:42. > :24:46.A bit alienating that stuff but I tried one of myself and it's amazing

:24:47. > :24:50.how quickly you immerse yourself in the blue environment. They hope to

:24:51. > :24:54.take it into care homes sometime next you. Later in the programme,

:24:55. > :24:58.will be talking some people down here who have been through trauma

:24:59. > :25:02.and depression and say that the sea and being on the sea helps them

:25:03. > :25:13.through that experience but that is it from us here in Falmouth.

:25:14. > :25:22.I genuinely missed the sea when I haven't been there. It is the walk

:25:23. > :25:26.there and the expectation that if you go over the dunes and then it is

:25:27. > :25:32.there. It is peaceful, the noise, the smell. Tell us what you think

:25:33. > :25:34.about that idea called blue health. We will talk about it throughout the

:25:35. > :25:34.programme. Are we falling out of love

:25:35. > :25:39.with the humble cuppa? Sean's in Harrogate this morning

:25:40. > :25:42.to find out why we are trading in builders tea for something

:25:43. > :25:53.a little more fancy. It cannot be true. Good morning to

:25:54. > :25:59.you and your hair net. It is controversial to call its builders

:26:00. > :26:03.tea. We are talking tea all morning and particularly what goes inside

:26:04. > :26:09.that. That is a real of teabag paper. Not often you get a glimpse

:26:10. > :26:14.of that. They make 5 billion in the whole factory here in Harrowgate. We

:26:15. > :26:18.will take you to the factory where they are dealing with the

:26:19. > :26:26.statistics. Sales of tea are down by 5%. We have 5% fewer teabag than

:26:27. > :26:34.before. We are seeing more speciality teas, more herbal teas,

:26:35. > :26:39.more decaf, being put in. It is more than the traditional black tea than

:26:40. > :26:43.we are used to. By the time you look at these boxes going off, about one

:26:44. > :26:50.third of the market is made up of speciality teas in some way. We are

:26:51. > :26:54.looking at what the Yorkshire owners are doing to adapt to that and why

:26:55. > :26:57.our tastes are changing. But first, before all of that, I will have a

:26:58. > :30:16.cup of Hello, this is Breakfast,

:30:17. > :30:29.with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. We'll bring you all the latest news

:30:30. > :30:33.and sport in a moment, but also on Breakfast

:30:34. > :30:37.this morning... Get me out of this vote! It is

:31:10. > :31:12.author Marty Jopson will be revealing the science behind

:31:13. > :31:25.some of our food myths. Apparently you need quite a bit of

:31:26. > :31:27.time to cook the perfect boiled egg. Over half an hour. We don't have

:31:28. > :31:30.time for that! In the last few hours,

:31:31. > :31:33.South Korea's Navy has held major live-fire drills in the latest show

:31:34. > :31:36.of force to North Korea. A South Korean commander said

:31:37. > :31:39.the North's forces would be "buried at sea" in the event

:31:40. > :31:41.of a further provocation. Meanwhile international

:31:42. > :31:43.pressure continues to build against the regime following its

:31:44. > :31:46.largest nuclear bomb test to date. Yesterday the United States warned

:32:04. > :32:08.to you at this time yesterday, and again, more military activity

:32:09. > :32:14.overnight? Yeah. What we have today is the two tracks that rape resent

:32:22. > :32:25.navy launching what they described as a massive live exercise drill in

:32:26. > :32:29.the last 12 hours or so. Yesterday it was the turn of the air force and

:32:30. > :32:37.the Army to carry out what was essentially a dummy on the run. --

:32:38. > :32:44.bombing run. It was meant to replicate an attack on North Korea's

:32:45. > :32:48.nuclear site. This was designed to reassure South Koreans and remind

:32:49. > :32:52.them of their high state of alert, and show North Korea, as well, the

:32:53. > :32:56.capabilities this country has to defend itself and to attack. At the

:32:57. > :32:59.same time, we are next. At the United Nations yesterday, it is

:33:00. > :33:04.clear there were stark divisions between those key players, the US

:33:05. > :33:08.and China, about what to do next. China said yet again it would not

:33:09. > :33:12.allow war to happen on the Korean peninsula, but Nikki Haley, the UN

:33:13. > :33:17.ambassador from the United States, says she does not think Ossetians

:33:18. > :33:21.regime can go much further. I think the US effort in New York is aimed

:33:22. > :33:24.at one last-ditch effort to try to force North Korea to change its mind

:33:25. > :33:28.with an even tougher sanctions regime. Robin Brandt, thank you.

:33:29. > :33:32.Later in the programme we will be speaking about China and what role

:33:33. > :33:33.it might play in what is going on at the moment.

:40:56. > :41:15.and Science, joins us now. Good morning. Thank you for joining

:41:16. > :41:20.us. We are expect in Nicola Sturgeon to talk about scrapping the 1%

:41:21. > :41:25.public pay sector cap. Is that a U-turn from your party? Well, the

:41:26. > :41:30.Scottish government to lead its position out on the cap sometime

:41:31. > :41:34.ago. At this time of continuing austerity given to us by the

:41:35. > :41:38.Westminster government, the Scottish government does recognise that

:41:39. > :41:42.workers are under increasing strain with inflation, so we have made our

:41:43. > :41:47.position quite clear on the cap, that we would look to review that.

:41:48. > :41:50.We are already speaking to trade unions to ensure that when we

:41:51. > :41:54.deliver our budget later this year that we will be able to work with

:41:55. > :41:58.them to ensure that is workers see some relief from the austerity we

:41:59. > :42:03.are receiving from Westminster. So it it a U-turn, then? It is a

:42:04. > :42:07.development in our policy, much to the programme for government we will

:42:08. > :42:09.see today, responding to the changing needs of the Scottish

:42:10. > :42:12.people and the unprecedented challenges which the Scottish

:42:13. > :42:17.economy faces, whether that is through Brexit or new technology,

:42:18. > :42:21.our programme for government and our following budget is to deal with

:42:22. > :42:25.that, not just to face up to it but to respond to those challenges in a

:42:26. > :42:28.positive manner so that we can seize the opportunity wherever possible to

:42:29. > :42:32.work with unions and others to deliver for the people of Scotland.

:42:33. > :42:35.We will be speaking with Ian Watson today in Westminster about how David

:42:36. > :42:38.Davies will be facing questions today about Brexit negotiations.

:42:39. > :42:42.What is your take on what you have heard and seen so far off what he

:42:43. > :42:46.has been doing in Brussels? It is desperately disappointing that it is

:42:47. > :42:49.now some time since the vote on Brexit, a vote which Scotland didn't

:42:50. > :42:55.want to see and which we didn't vote for Brexit in, but we are where we

:42:56. > :42:58.are, and by this time we would have expected the UK government to at

:42:59. > :43:02.least have a plan, to be detailing that plan, not just to colleagues in

:43:03. > :43:06.Brussels but to the devolved administrations. That is why the

:43:07. > :43:10.First Minister here in Scotland has been working with the Welsh First

:43:11. > :43:14.Minister to ensure that we are making our case to Westminster, to

:43:15. > :43:17.Brussels, because Scotland cannot afford to wait for the Westminster

:43:18. > :43:21.government to come up with a plan. That is what the Scottish government

:43:22. > :43:25.is doing, based on our retention in the single market and the customs

:43:26. > :43:28.union. We heard Carwyn Jones seeing yesterday there is a fundamental

:43:29. > :43:31.disagreement with the government over Brexit. You still think you are

:43:32. > :43:36.not getting enough information from Westminster about devolved

:43:37. > :43:39.government? Devolved nations, sorry. I don't think anybody is getting

:43:40. > :43:42.enough information from the Westminster government when it comes

:43:43. > :43:46.to Brexit. The concern of the Scottish government is that because

:43:47. > :43:49.there is no plan, whether it is behind the scenes, it is not that

:43:50. > :43:53.they are keeping their cards close to their chest, they haven't decided

:43:54. > :43:58.what the plan is yet. That is hugely concerning. In Scotland we see a

:43:59. > :44:01.great impact on our economy, whether it is the European Union workers who

:44:02. > :44:05.are already concerned about their futures, or whether it is other

:44:06. > :44:09.aspects of Brexit. The impact is real at the moment. That is why the

:44:10. > :44:13.Scottish government is determined to work with other devolved

:44:14. > :44:17.administrations wherever possible to ensure that our voices being heard

:44:18. > :44:21.not just by Westminster but by Brussels, because it is simply

:44:22. > :44:24.unacceptable that so far into the supposed negotiations with simply

:44:25. > :44:29.haven't got anywhere at all. Brexit will be high on the agenda. Will the

:44:30. > :44:32.First Minister ask anything about North Korea this afternoon, given

:44:33. > :44:37.the SNP's stance on Trident? What might she say about that? I will not

:44:38. > :44:40.go into detail about what the First Minister is going to say in the

:44:41. > :44:44.programme for government. She obviously has to respond to

:44:45. > :44:47.Parliament directly. But the Scottish government and the Scottish

:44:48. > :44:52.National Party has a proud record of union antinuclear party. This is

:44:53. > :44:54.something that we hold dear. It is simply unacceptable that we have

:44:55. > :44:58.nuclear weapons based here in Scotland. Now, whether that will be

:44:59. > :45:02.something that the First Minister will mention today will be up to the

:45:03. > :45:08.First Minister to discuss directly. Thank you, good to talk to you.

:45:09. > :45:17.This is Breakfast on BBC News. The main stories: following military

:45:18. > :45:21.exercises, South Korea's navy holds live fire drills in a show of force

:45:22. > :45:33.to North Korea after its latest nuclear tests. Evening

:45:34. > :45:38.from what I saw a way to work this morning, it was miserable hours.

:45:39. > :45:38.Wasn't it? Here's Sarah with a look

:45:39. > :45:49.at this morning's weather. Miserable is the word. It will be an

:45:50. > :45:53.improving picture later on. It is quite damp this morning. Muggy out

:45:54. > :46:02.there as well, quite humid. Temperatures above what we would

:46:03. > :46:05.expect, around 16 or 17 degrees. A bit fresher for Scotland and

:46:06. > :46:09.Northern Ireland. Much of the country, we are sitting under a

:46:10. > :46:13.front, bringing us cloud and outbreaks of rain. Heavier outbreaks

:46:14. > :46:20.across the south-west of England and Wales. Further west, we are a bit

:46:21. > :46:23.more dry. -- further east. A bit of drizzle but certainly mild, 17

:46:24. > :46:28.degrees. Heavier burst of rain across parts of North Wales and

:46:29. > :46:31.England but it will clear out of Northern Ireland and Scotland.

:46:32. > :46:35.Clearer conditions are moving into the north-west with a few showers

:46:36. > :46:38.but still damp and drizzly across southern and eastern Scotland this

:46:39. > :46:42.morning. The band of rain will slowly edge eastwards through the

:46:43. > :46:47.day. Some areas will continue to see wet weather, critically for parts of

:46:48. > :46:53.Wales and the Midlands. Elsewhere, we all likely to see brighter

:46:54. > :46:59.weather developing. Temperatures 22 and possibly 23 degrees towards the

:47:00. > :47:02.south-east. The rest chance of a few showers. One or two showers

:47:03. > :47:08.continuing this evening overnight in the north-west but most of us

:47:09. > :47:11.becoming dry. It will feel different by this time tomorrow morning,

:47:12. > :47:15.temperatures are much lower and a different air mass so it is cool and

:47:16. > :47:19.fresh start of the day. Tomorrow will be probably the best day of the

:47:20. > :47:25.week in terms of sunshine amounts. That is because once we get weather

:47:26. > :47:32.of the front to the east, the westerly breeze will bring sunshine.

:47:33. > :47:36.-- once we get rid of the front. The areas of Scotland and north-west

:47:37. > :47:41.England will have some showers but lighter winds further south. It will

:47:42. > :47:47.feel quite pleasant and even the north, extend or 17. The fresher

:47:48. > :47:51.feel continues first thing into Thursday, too. But you will notice

:47:52. > :47:54.on Thursday, the bulk of rain working into the north-west.

:47:55. > :47:57.Eventually, Northern Ireland and Scotland will see the wet and windy

:47:58. > :48:01.weather and battle think south of the -- later in the day. Parts of

:48:02. > :48:08.Wales and England remained dry and bright. The slightly more autumnal

:48:09. > :48:12.scene continues for the end of the week. For Friday, low pressure is

:48:13. > :48:16.established north of the UK and that will draw in westerly winds and

:48:17. > :48:20.windy conditions. We will see outbreaks of rain and it could be

:48:21. > :48:24.heavy around southern England for a time. Elsewhere, sunshine and

:48:25. > :48:27.scattered showers and that sets us up for us -- for a possibly stormy

:48:28. > :48:32.weekend. Most of us need a morning cuppa

:48:33. > :48:41.but what's in your mug today? Sales of traditional black tea

:48:42. > :48:48.are falling but fruit and herbal Sean's at a tea factory

:48:49. > :49:11.in North Yorkshire to tell us more. Good morning. I have already caused

:49:12. > :49:15.some controversy by telling folks here that some people make their tea

:49:16. > :49:21.by putting their teabag in the milk first. I don't agree with that and

:49:22. > :49:25.they don't hear either, I have to say. I am in Harrowgate this morning

:49:26. > :49:30.and that is where the tea is coming in. That is ordinary black tea. We

:49:31. > :49:35.have exclusive figures on Breakfast this morning showing that we are

:49:36. > :49:44.buying more speciality and herbal teas, as you were saying. Richard is

:49:45. > :49:47.here. A bit of an ongoing story that difficulty that black tea has been

:49:48. > :49:52.having but overall, have things been picking up or are we just not into

:49:53. > :49:58.our tea. It is a long-term decline that has been going on for a long

:49:59. > :50:04.time. There is no rhyme or reason. It is lots of competition from other

:50:05. > :50:10.drinks, coffee but also soft drinks. I think sales have picked up a bit

:50:11. > :50:15.this year. Volume sales have picked up because prices have gone up due

:50:16. > :50:23.to prices in the currency. -- changes in the currency. All much

:50:24. > :50:30.more have we been willing to pay for our tea? I think the changes have

:50:31. > :50:34.been particularly since the referendum decision last year

:50:35. > :50:41.meaning that prices for buying in ports of tea have gone up by 10-

:50:42. > :50:48.15%. The company is trying not to pass it on to customers as much as

:50:49. > :50:53.they can. Some of it has to get passed on. Richard, we will talk

:50:54. > :50:58.moreover the morning about what the change is exactly that let's have a

:50:59. > :51:04.look at what Yorkshire tea is doing. Kevin, if I can grab you. You are in

:51:05. > :51:12.the marketing area. Do we need to get the button pressed to get it

:51:13. > :51:17.going again? What a relief. Kevin, you have a huge factory here and we

:51:18. > :51:23.were just talking from Richard about how much tastes have changed, buying

:51:24. > :51:27.less black tea on a whole. What about people who own it? I guess the

:51:28. > :51:32.key growth engine for our business over the last few years has still

:51:33. > :51:36.been Yorkshire tea. We are not giving up hope on the black tea

:51:37. > :51:41.market and we are continuing to grow and our volumes have been bucking

:51:42. > :51:44.the trend. We are also acknowledging that consumer tastes have changed

:51:45. > :51:50.changing and we are looking at other areas of tree. Meaning -- mainly to

:51:51. > :51:56.leverage our Taylor's brand rather than Yorkshire. Import prices, fall

:51:57. > :52:02.in the pound, have you had to make efficiencies so that you don't pass

:52:03. > :52:07.on the increasing costs to the consumers as much? You are spending

:52:08. > :52:10.a lot of money on this machinery. There has been some price inflation

:52:11. > :52:15.within the market but I guess as a business and a brand, we believe in

:52:16. > :52:19.doing things cost -- properly. Making sure we don't cut corners,

:52:20. > :52:23.compromise. We have been blending to the same taste profile for 40 years

:52:24. > :52:29.and we believe that it is the consistent quality that sees

:52:30. > :52:34.consumers pay a bit more. On these boxes as they are going through,

:52:35. > :52:39.that blend has not changed for that length of time. But, if your costs

:52:40. > :52:45.are changing, most manufacturers would maybe a just the product. If

:52:46. > :52:54.costs are increased for you, what do you do? It is a debate that it had a

:52:55. > :52:58.lot. Do you change the leaf? We really respect the relationships we

:52:59. > :53:01.have got with suppliers and we value those relationships and believe

:53:02. > :53:05.above everything else that maintaining the product quality of

:53:06. > :53:09.Yorkshire tea is incredibly important to this business. And

:53:10. > :53:16.whatever brand of tea we are using, you teabag in the milk and then pour

:53:17. > :53:22.the water in or water first? Never teabag in the milk, I can't believe

:53:23. > :53:26.you mentioned it. I'm sorry. I am sorry. We will be looking at not how

:53:27. > :53:34.you just make a decent cuppa tea but how the changes to people 's tastes.

:53:35. > :53:36.How we can spot the difference to the black tea and what they are

:53:37. > :53:44.developing these days. Teabag first, milk in, teabag in the

:53:45. > :53:47.milk. I don't think there is any debate about it. For me, there is

:53:48. > :53:59.definitely not milk first. Anyway. If I made either of you, one way or

:54:00. > :54:03.the other, I'm not sure you would tell the difference. Oh. Let's be

:54:04. > :54:09.calm and relaxed. Does go into the sea affect your

:54:10. > :54:12.mood? From calm and relaxed

:54:13. > :54:14.to energised and happy, how can a trip to the coast

:54:15. > :54:17.affect your mood? We've sent our deckchair

:54:18. > :54:36.across Britain to find out why Be in by the sea makes me feel

:54:37. > :54:41.happy. Happy because I like to swim. Being by the sea always makes me

:54:42. > :54:45.feel refreshed, I had a really hard time about 15 years ago and spent a

:54:46. > :54:51.couple of months living on the coast and it really put the wind back into

:54:52. > :54:56.my sales. It makes me feel really happy. Being by the sea is, I think

:54:57. > :55:01.it is the best. Even on a rainy day, you can come up here with, you know,

:55:02. > :55:05.you're walking boots on or an umbra la and you still have the

:55:06. > :55:12.magnificent view, you can still go and have fish and chips even if it

:55:13. > :55:18.is raining. -- umbrella. It takes me back home. It is peaceful and quiet.

:55:19. > :55:26.It is away from my daily routine. I like being Bihar -- beside the sea,

:55:27. > :55:34.nice, relaxing family time. About 2000 likes. Very relaxed and I love

:55:35. > :55:38.watching him because he loves watching the waves. Being by the sea

:55:39. > :55:45.makes him very happy and makes him smile. It makes me feel like nice

:55:46. > :55:49.and the sand in between our feet makes it feel like it's all, like,

:55:50. > :55:55.lovely. I couldn't agree with him more. It

:55:56. > :56:01.is all, like, lovely. We will be live in Falmouth

:56:02. > :56:04.in Cornwall all morning, looking at how we can use the way

:56:15. > :56:17.moment. My favourite days at the sea is when it is not sunny.

:02:07. > :02:18.Good morning. Good morning. If you are waking up to a bit of a gloomy

:02:19. > :02:22.start to the day, with some rain around, bear with the weather. For

:02:23. > :02:26.many of us there will be a bit of sunshine later on. And it will feel

:02:27. > :02:28.a bit humid today as well. I will have all the details a bit later on.

:02:29. > :02:32.First, our main story: South Korea's navy has held major live-fire

:02:33. > :02:35.drills, in the latest show of force to North Korea.

:02:36. > :02:38.A South Korean commander said the North's forces would be buried

:02:39. > :02:40.at sea in the event of a further provocation.

:02:41. > :02:42.Meanwhile, international pressure continues to build

:02:43. > :02:45.against the regime following its largest nuclear bomb test to date.

:02:46. > :02:48.Yesterday the South staged a simulated attack on the North's

:02:49. > :02:49.nuclear test site, involving land-based missile launchers

:02:50. > :02:53.and aircraft, while in New York, the United States warned the UN

:02:54. > :02:55.Security Council that Kim Jong-un was begging for war,

:02:56. > :02:57.and that although Washington does not want conflict,

:02:58. > :03:19.Nuclear powers understand their responsibilities. Kim Jong-un shows

:03:20. > :03:23.no such understanding. His abusive use of missiles and his nuclear

:03:24. > :03:27.threats show that he is begging for war.

:03:28. > :03:30.John Sudworth is in Dandong, on the border between China

:03:31. > :03:35.John, China is still urging caution in dealing with North Korea.

:03:36. > :03:44.What can they do about what is going on at the moment? Good morning. The

:03:45. > :03:49.Chinese city of Dandong is a very good place to contemplate China's

:03:50. > :03:53.position in the North Korean nuclear crisis. If we pan across the river

:03:54. > :03:57.you can see just how close the two countries are at this point. They

:03:58. > :04:02.are connected by the iron bridge behind me, and almost all of North

:04:03. > :04:08.Korea's trade in goods, as well as its vital crude oil supply, flows

:04:09. > :04:13.across this border. You can see an antiquated North Korean powerstation

:04:14. > :04:16.on the other side, a sign of just how dilapidated it energy

:04:17. > :04:21.infrastructure is. Donald Trump's argument, of course, is that China

:04:22. > :04:26.could, if it wanted to, simply force North Korea into submission by

:04:27. > :04:31.turning off this lifeline. But when you look at this proximity, you can

:04:32. > :04:37.see why the Chinese leadership see things very differently indeed.

:04:38. > :04:41.Their fear is that pushing North Korea towards regime collapse will

:04:42. > :04:46.bring chaos and instability, factional infighting, possibly even

:04:47. > :04:50.war, right up against this border. And that is why Beijing is insisting

:04:51. > :04:55.that it will not contemplate a total trade embargo. It will not

:04:56. > :04:59.contemplate talk of military options. All it wants to see is a

:05:00. > :05:04.return to dialogue, and that has been its position all along.

:05:05. > :05:06.Absolutely fascinating to see the point of view from so close to the

:05:07. > :05:06.border. We will be speaking to a leading

:05:07. > :05:09.academic about China's response The Brexit Secretary, David Davis,

:05:10. > :05:17.will face questions in the Commons this afternoon, as MPs

:05:18. > :05:18.return to Westminster He will give an update on last

:05:19. > :05:23.week's third round of negotiations with the European Union,

:05:24. > :05:25.as Downing Street promises to intensify its

:05:26. > :05:27.approach to the talks. Our political correspondent

:05:28. > :05:38.Iain Watson joins us from Good morning to you. You will have

:05:39. > :05:43.quite a few questions to answer later. That's right. It is the first

:05:44. > :05:49.opportunity, of course, for MPs to question David Davis on the progress

:05:50. > :05:52.or lack of it in Brexit negotiations with the EU's chief negotiator,

:05:53. > :05:56.Michel Barnier. The government had been hoping to move on to wider

:05:57. > :06:00.talks with the EU. EU negotiators are less keen. MPs from right across

:06:01. > :06:04.the House of Commons will be keen to get an update on progress on what

:06:05. > :06:08.the government is going to be doing about that. We may even get a major

:06:09. > :06:12.speech from the Prime Minister on that topic later this month. But

:06:13. > :06:15.also this week, of course, it is the EU withdrawal bill, the bill that

:06:16. > :06:19.effectively will take is out of the European Community. And again, MPs

:06:20. > :06:24.will have an opportunity to push their own particular visions of

:06:25. > :06:27.Brexit. We expect strong opposition from the Labour Party in some areas.

:06:28. > :06:31.The Shadow Cabinet under Jeremy Corbyn are meeting this morning to

:06:32. > :06:35.draw up their battle plan for the protection of workers' rights, and

:06:36. > :06:39.for greater Parliamentary scrutiny of the whole process. I think the

:06:40. > :06:42.government will initially get the legislation through, and David

:06:43. > :06:46.Davis, I am sure, will survive his grilling later today. It will be a

:06:47. > :06:49.tough week backed the government, and it will underline just how much

:06:50. > :06:52.this Parliamentary session is going to be dominated by Brexit.

:06:53. > :06:54.A report into whether social services failed a young girl

:06:55. > :06:57.who was murdered by her mother will be published today.

:06:58. > :06:59.Ayeeshia Smith died in 2014, aged 21 months.

:07:00. > :07:03.She had been left in the care of her mother, Kathryn Smith,

:07:04. > :07:04.despite concerns raised by other relatives.

:07:05. > :07:07.The findings of a serious case review will be published

:07:08. > :07:16.A search is resuming this morning for a man who was swept out to sea

:07:17. > :07:21.He was knocked off rocks by a wave while he was fishing at Treyarnon

:07:22. > :07:26.Another man who also fell into the water was rescued.

:07:27. > :07:29.Islands in the Caribbean and the US state of Florida are preparing

:07:30. > :07:33.for hurricane Irma, which is due to make landfall tomorrow morning.

:07:34. > :07:35.It is a bigger storm, both in size and wind speed,

:07:36. > :07:38.than hurricane Harvey, which devastated the states of Texas

:07:39. > :07:45.The Governor of Florida has declared a state of emergency,

:07:46. > :07:48.to give local government enough time to prepare.

:07:49. > :07:50.Scotland's First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, will set

:07:51. > :07:52.out her Government's legislative programme this afternoon,

:07:53. > :07:55.pledging a bold and ambitious plan for the coming year.

:07:56. > :07:57.She is expected to focus on health, the economy

:07:58. > :08:05.Our Scotland correspondent Lorna Gordon joins us from Holyrood.

:08:06. > :08:09.Lorna, what can we expect from the First Minister this afternoon?

:08:10. > :08:17.Good morning to you. What can we expect to hear today? Good morning.

:08:18. > :08:21.It is thought 16 bills will be set out today, to add to the 11 already

:08:22. > :08:25.in progress here at the Scottish Parliament, and I think they will be

:08:26. > :08:29.policy announcements touching on pretty much every area of public

:08:30. > :08:35.life. But in terms of legislation, expect details of bills in areas

:08:36. > :08:39.like health, in areas like education and finance. Some of that has

:08:40. > :08:45.already been heavily trailed. Expect perhaps an announcement to lift that

:08:46. > :08:49.1% cap on public sector pay. In the area of justice there is expected to

:08:50. > :08:53.be a bill to pardon gay men convicted of same sex offences

:08:54. > :08:57.before laws against homosexuality were dropped. And in the area of the

:10:17. > :10:23.I have a big snake issue. Obviously I don't want the snake to get hurt

:10:24. > :10:27.at all, but I am not that bothered. The body language tells you

:10:28. > :10:36.everything, doesn't it? From now on I am double pre- flushing. It

:10:40. > :10:41.North Korea's nuclear bomb test attracted global condemnation,

:10:45. > :10:46.sanctions at the UN Security Council.

:10:47. > :10:48.It puts their position at odds with the US,

:10:49. > :10:51.who have accused Kim Jong-un of begging for war.

:10:52. > :10:54.So what influence could China wield, and why do they seem

:10:55. > :11:01.Professor Steve Tsang is director of the China Institute at SOAS,

:11:02. > :11:06.and joins us from our London newsroom.

:11:07. > :11:12.Good morning to you. Thank you so much for joining us. We have just

:11:13. > :11:18.been talking to one of our reporters who is right on the border between

:11:19. > :11:25.China and North Korea. How close are their relations? Well, historically,

:11:26. > :11:28.the relationship between North Korea and China, in terms of the

:11:29. > :11:37.relationship between the teeth and the lips, it is that close, but in

:11:38. > :11:41.the last three or four Mac years, after Kim Jong-un came to power, he

:11:42. > :11:47.basically purged all those senior advisers who had very close ties

:11:48. > :11:52.with the Chinese leaders. So at the moment they are not terribly --

:11:53. > :11:56.there are not terribly effective channels for communication between

:11:57. > :12:02.the two top leaders. And what is it that you think China would like to

:12:03. > :12:04.see happen? Well, the Chinese would ideally have preferred the North

:12:05. > :12:09.Korean is not to have developed a nuclear weapon. But now that the

:12:10. > :12:14.North Koreans have done so, I think all that the Chinese really want is

:12:15. > :12:20.to contain the problem, and not allow it to spread and destabilise

:12:21. > :12:24.the region. I don't think the Chinese are now really working to

:12:25. > :12:28.get rid of the nuclear weapons programme in North Korea. You talked

:12:29. > :12:32.about them not wanting to destabilise the region, but it seems

:12:33. > :12:37.to be having a kind of global impact, in some ways, doesn't it?

:12:38. > :12:42.Absolutely. But while the Chinese do not want to destabilise the region,

:12:43. > :12:47.their first and foremost consideration is the capacity of the

:12:48. > :12:51.Chinese Communist Party to stay in power in China. For that, they

:12:52. > :13:00.cannot afford to see the Communist regime in North Korea Tallat, --

:13:01. > :13:04.collapse, because the North Korean regime continues to survive by the

:13:05. > :13:07.subsidy and support of the Chinese Communist Party, and if the

:13:08. > :13:12.Communist Party in China allows the North Koreans to collapse, it could

:13:13. > :13:16.be seen as a signal by dissidents in China that the Communist Party of

:13:17. > :13:23.China no longer has the political will, determination, or capacity to

:13:24. > :13:27.do whatever it takes to stay in power. That is something that

:13:28. > :13:32.President Xi Jinping will not tolerate. That is very interesting.

:13:33. > :13:36.I understand as well that Kim Jong-un was due to go to China to

:13:37. > :13:42.have a visit, and didn't go. What does that tell you? Well, that

:13:43. > :13:46.clearly shows that Kim Jong-un really, deliberately sends a message

:13:47. > :13:51.to the Chinese that he is not going to go to Beijing and pay homage to

:13:52. > :13:58.President Xi Jinping, that North Korea is not a Chinese client state,

:13:59. > :14:02.that North Korea will do whatever it wants. So what we have seen, in the

:14:03. > :14:08.missile and nuclear test, essentially, is that Kim Jong-un

:14:09. > :14:13.poked Americans on the left eye and poked the Chinese in the right, and

:14:14. > :14:16.gets away with it. It is really fascinating, what you are telling

:14:17. > :14:19.us. As we say, we have seen how close their relationship is. Their

:14:20. > :14:23.borders are right next to each other. What about the possibility of

:14:24. > :14:27.Beijing supporting further UN sanctions? Might that be a way to

:14:28. > :14:32.deal with the situation, or are they unlikely to do that? Well, if the

:14:33. > :14:36.request is to have some very specific increase in the levels of

:14:37. > :14:40.sanctions, I think the Chinese government would probably consider

:14:41. > :14:44.that. But what the Americans are asking for, and potentially

:14:45. > :14:52.implying, is that the Americans might impose a trade war on China, a

:14:53. > :14:57.potential cut off of trade with countries that trade with North

:14:58. > :15:01.Korea. This is a very serious matter for the Chinese. If that should ever

:15:02. > :15:05.come to pass, it will devastate the Chinese economy. And the Chinese

:15:06. > :15:09.don't want to encourage the Americans to even think about that.

:15:10. > :15:14.And just very briefly, how serious and dangerous do you think the

:15:15. > :15:24.situation is right now? Well, it is serious, it is dangerous, as we have

:15:25. > :15:28.a leader in North Korea who is doing it almost by playing a game and

:15:29. > :15:31.seeing how far he can get away with it. And on the other side, in the

:15:32. > :15:37.United States, you have President Trump, who does not always follow

:15:38. > :15:43.the best professional advice that he receives. But in fact, nobody

:15:44. > :15:46.actually wants war. Absolutely fascinating to talk to you on

:15:47. > :15:54.Breakfast. Thank you very much indeed for your time.

:15:55. > :15:58.On the way to work this morning, I had to go for a double handed

:15:59. > :16:08.umbrella. Those words grim and miserable sums

:16:09. > :16:13.it up for some of us but not everywhere. It is mild outside. We

:16:14. > :16:23.have cloud a round but it is dry for some parts of the country. A lot of

:16:24. > :16:28.cloud around and some places, it is producing rain. A quite a muggy,

:16:29. > :16:37.humid feel. For some lucky places some sunshine. Some heavier birth

:16:38. > :16:44.across western Wales and the south-west of England. Further east,

:16:45. > :16:51.some dry weather -- heavier birth. Look at the temperatures. 17 degrees

:16:52. > :16:55.or so. Further north, heavier bursts across north-west England in

:16:56. > :16:59.particular. The rain is clearing and some brighter weather heading in.

:17:00. > :17:03.Sunshine and showers for north-western Scotland but further

:17:04. > :17:09.south and east, the cloud and drizzly rain. Fairly slow-moving

:17:10. > :17:17.weather front will bring some breezes along the south-west. Later

:17:18. > :17:21.on, some sunny and dry weather. Particular for Scotland and Northern

:17:22. > :17:27.Ireland. Across the country, some sunshine and the odd shower around.

:17:28. > :17:30.22 or 23 degrees in the brighter spells. Eventually, we lose the

:17:31. > :17:35.front from the east and the wet weather so it is clear and dry

:17:36. > :17:39.tonight and it will feel fresher. A much different feel to the weather

:17:40. > :17:43.tomorrow morning. Temperatures being in double figures that it will be

:17:44. > :17:47.colder in the countryside. It will feel different tomorrow with the

:17:48. > :17:53.fresh air that starts to pile in from the Atlantic. Also bringing

:17:54. > :17:58.with it, lots of sunshine. Different to today, losing the cloud. A few

:17:59. > :18:02.showers for the West of Scotland, north-west England, too, will be

:18:03. > :18:08.quite breezy in the north. Lighter winds and in the sunny spells,

:18:09. > :18:16.temperatures 16- 19 and less muddy and humid. We hold onto the fresh

:18:17. > :18:22.field to start the Day on Thursday but further north, the rain works in

:18:23. > :18:25.and the winds pick up. That is low pressure dominating the weather

:18:26. > :18:31.through the latter part of the week but still, further south, not a bad

:18:32. > :18:36.day. Heading through into Friday, that pressure stays with us. It will

:18:37. > :18:43.sit to the north of the UK, tightly packed isobars so it will be windy

:18:44. > :18:49.and it will be more showery. An unsettled and to the week. 14- 19

:18:50. > :18:53.degrees and that sets us up for a showery weekend but more on matters

:18:54. > :18:57.we had through the week. Today, muggy start, brighter later.

:18:58. > :19:04.Whether it's the soothing sound of the waves or the sand

:19:05. > :19:08.between your toes, a trip to the seaside can lift the spirits.

:19:09. > :19:10.Now researchers are investigating whether so-called "blue health"

:19:11. > :19:12.could be used to help people living with anxiety,

:19:13. > :19:16.depression and loneliness - even if they can't get to the coast.

:19:17. > :19:18.Breakfast's Graham Satchell has been looking into this and he's

:19:19. > :19:43.Good morning, Graham. I am feeling extraordinarily relaxed. We are in

:19:44. > :19:50.Falmouth on the Cornish coast and the estuary with here is grey but it

:19:51. > :19:56.is one of the most beautiful spots in the whole country. We have aerial

:19:57. > :20:00.pictures of this morning and it is a stunning view. Mental health experts

:20:01. > :20:05.have long known that visits to the coast can lift the spirits and they

:20:06. > :20:11.have become more interested in so-called blue health. What is it

:20:12. > :20:15.about the sea that can help people suffering with anxiety, depression

:20:16. > :20:20.and loneliness? We are looking at one technique which looks to use

:20:21. > :20:21.virtual reality technology to bring the seaside to people that can't get

:20:22. > :20:24.here themselves. We're off the coast of Falmouth

:20:25. > :20:29.on a boat owned by the charity, On board, a skipper,

:20:30. > :20:32.a therapist and two people, Susie and Ian, who are living

:20:33. > :20:38.with anxiety and depression. It's something very special

:20:39. > :20:40.about being on the water. It's such a calming place,

:20:41. > :20:43.you can leave whatever troubles you've got behind,

:20:44. > :20:45.and you can escape. There are group sessions on board

:20:46. > :20:53.and everyone works as part But the charity says the sea itself

:20:54. > :20:57.has a therapeutic quality. There's something going on,

:20:58. > :20:59.it's quite hard to define. But it's something to do

:21:00. > :21:02.with space, something to do Ian started feeling depressed

:21:03. > :21:13.and withdrawn after retiring There is something eternal

:21:14. > :21:16.about the sea, isn't I'm so lucky to be living

:21:17. > :21:20.in Cornwall, to have a pension So what about people who don't

:21:21. > :21:25.live near the coast? A team of researchers

:21:26. > :21:28.from the University of Exeter, a 360 virtual reality

:21:29. > :21:36.camera and a drone. They're trying to capture the power

:21:37. > :21:40.of the coast for people who can't There's quite a lot of evidence now

:21:41. > :21:45.to suggest that accessing and having exposure to natural spaces can be

:21:46. > :21:48.really beneficial for psychological well-being in terms

:21:49. > :21:50.of stress reduction, We're particularly trying to bring

:21:51. > :21:54.that therapeutic blue space in for people who can't

:21:55. > :21:56.access it themselves. So particularly, in our project,

:21:57. > :21:59.it's for people who are living in care homes who can't perhaps

:22:00. > :22:02.get outside so easily. Nicky's project is part of much

:22:03. > :22:04.larger European research Nicky is trying out her videos

:22:05. > :22:19.on a group of volunteers. Some of the pictures

:22:20. > :22:27.are calm and relaxing. Others, more interactive,

:22:28. > :22:33.stimulating. Well, I thought it was a really

:22:34. > :22:42.interesting experience. Anything, I think, connected

:22:43. > :22:54.with the sea or rivers, water, it certainly takes away some

:22:55. > :23:00.of the day-to-day drudgery of life. What we wanted to do was test

:23:01. > :23:03.whether these environments really were relaxing and stimulating,

:23:04. > :23:11.and today we found that actually, the way people reacted to them

:23:12. > :23:14.was the way wed hope that they would, and so we will

:23:15. > :23:17.definitely take those videos forward Nicky will take her headsets

:23:18. > :23:21.into care homes next year to bring blue health to those who can't

:23:22. > :23:39.access it themselves. It was amazing thing those people

:23:40. > :23:43.with those headsets on and I tried it myself. It is incredible how

:23:44. > :23:46.quickly you immerse yourself in the blue environment. Nicky will take

:23:47. > :24:00.those into care homes next year and see how they get on. With me this

:24:01. > :24:09.morning is Joe from the charity. For four days in total, starting on

:24:10. > :24:13.Monday and finishing on Thursday. It is about being part of a team and

:24:14. > :24:18.accrue as well as being out on the water, isn't it? Some of it is the

:24:19. > :24:22.attraction of sailing being at one with the sea and on the sailboat but

:24:23. > :24:27.a lot of it is around the education. A lot of it is about how we, as

:24:28. > :24:32.therapists, are saying it is about the relationship that develops over

:24:33. > :24:36.the four days and encourages people to open up and explore things that

:24:37. > :24:41.they haven't perhaps for many years. Do you think the sea in and of

:24:42. > :24:47.itself has a therapeutic quality? If you think about poetry and films and

:24:48. > :24:51.people will just stand and stare at the sea without question and without

:24:52. > :24:58.understanding why. There is real magic and we can't fully understand

:24:59. > :25:03.it. We know there are negative ions at some of it remains a mystery and

:25:04. > :25:08.that is some of the other work to the programme as well. People here

:25:09. > :25:12.at Exeter University are trying to capture that power in the virtual

:25:13. > :25:17.reality way. That is another step removed. What you think about it? I

:25:18. > :25:20.can see the benefit for people who cannot get to the sea although you

:25:21. > :25:25.are missing a lot of the vital ingredients. I think there is a

:25:26. > :25:28.formula. A sensory awareness, dealing with emotion, the smell of

:25:29. > :25:34.the sea and being at one with nature. I think the environment is

:25:35. > :25:39.incredibly powerful. I didn't think it will fully capture it that it is

:25:40. > :25:44.some start. There you go, blue health and its future here on a

:25:45. > :25:47.windy, starting to rain, Falmouth but still beautiful and calming as

:25:48. > :25:56.we sit in this massive breakfast deckchair.

:25:57. > :26:01.Looking at those pictures, Graham, any day by the seaside is a good

:26:02. > :26:06.day. Enjoy it. Thank you to everybody getting in touch. You said

:26:07. > :26:11.that during Graham's piece that you are going to go and live by the sea.

:26:12. > :26:20.Have you spoken to your family about it? They are away. Delia says being

:26:21. > :26:27.by the sea is the best medicine in the world. We are all Vikings and

:26:28. > :26:36.long for the freedom of the waves. Sao has moved to Morcombe. Wish I

:26:37. > :26:42.was there. It is the sound of the sea, isn't it? Get in touch with us.

:26:50. > :26:53.Are we falling out of love with the humble cuppa?

:26:54. > :26:56.Sean's in Harrogate this morning to find out why we are trading

:26:57. > :27:05.in builders tea for something a little more fancy.

:27:06. > :27:12.There what kind of fancy stuff would you fancy? Raspberry and cranberry

:27:13. > :27:16.tea? I'm not sure how that works but companies like this one here,

:27:17. > :27:25.tailors in Harrogate, they make Yorkshire tea and they are having to

:27:26. > :27:30.adapt. This is their -- original tea they make. A lot of Kenyan tea

:27:31. > :27:39.leaves have rising cost. We are consuming a lot less black tea. The

:27:40. > :27:43.ingredients, the leaves they blend, more of that these days will be

:27:44. > :27:48.fruity or herbal. We are spending more in that area. And when you look

:27:49. > :27:54.at the date over the past year or so, that is alternative tea. These

:27:55. > :27:58.companies need to expand their manufacturing base in some way to

:27:59. > :28:03.account for those tastes. Over the morning, we will be looking at what

:28:04. > :28:08.type of herbal tea, how are our tastes changing exactly and moving

:28:09. > :28:08.away from this traditional blend in the

:28:09. > :31:28.Plenty more on our website at the usual address.

:36:59. > :37:03.two games we will have to go and get We are in a very strong position

:37:04. > :37:08.and if you look at this campaign it has almost been

:37:09. > :37:10.flawless, to be honest. Seven clean sheets, the only

:37:11. > :37:12.defeat away to Germany. As a coach or a manager

:37:13. > :37:16.there is very little more you can ask of your players,

:37:17. > :37:18.and they have just kept delivering. England need just two points

:37:55. > :38:00.of the chance to make up some ground Christophe Berra gave them

:38:01. > :38:04.an early lead against Malta. Leigh Griffiths made it

:38:05. > :38:06.two after half-time. If they can win their last two

:38:07. > :38:09.games, then they can qualify for the play-offs, despite a slow

:38:10. > :38:13.start to their campaign. I think when you get to that stage

:38:14. > :38:19.and the tournament is in your hands, We can look back on the tournament

:38:20. > :38:25.and say, we could have done better But we try to make up

:38:26. > :38:28.for the bad performances, or the low-key performances,

:38:29. > :38:34.by doing the best we can. Tonight, Wales are in Moldova,

:38:37. > :38:43.an incredible comeback overnight to reach the quarter-finals

:38:46. > :38:48.and match point down to beat Dominic Thiem of Austria,

:38:49. > :38:51.that despite saying that he couldn't breathe properly at

:38:52. > :38:53.times during the match. His reward is a meeting

:40:36. > :40:37.around one in 100 pregnant women. So what is it, and what can

:40:38. > :40:41.be done to treat it? Dr Yusra Khan is a GP

:40:42. > :40:44.who is pregnant with her second child, and suffers

:40:45. > :41:00.from the condition. Very good morning to you. Have I

:41:01. > :41:05.pronounced it right? Absolutely, that was spot on. So you suffer from

:41:06. > :41:09.it yourself, and to call it a severe form of morning sickness is probably

:41:10. > :41:16.an understatement. Tell us what it is like. Absolutely, so as you save

:41:17. > :41:20.hyperemesis effects one in 100 pregnancies, and I would say this

:41:21. > :41:23.torturous and soul snatching. I am 24 weeks pregnant, this is my second

:41:24. > :41:28.pregnancy. I fell pregnant two years ago and this was an unplanned

:41:29. > :41:31.pregnancy, and it did come as a bit of a shock and it came with the

:41:32. > :41:35.severe symptoms of hyperemesis The main thing to say is that

:41:36. > :41:39.morning sickness is an underestimation. It is a spectrum,

:41:40. > :41:45.and hyperemesis gravidarum is at the severe end. Metaphorically I would

:41:46. > :41:51.say that morning sickness is unpleasant, and it is something that

:41:52. > :41:54.is like walking on Lego, I suppose, but hyperemesis gravidarum is like

:41:55. > :41:58.walking on fire. So both is unpleasant but one is severely more

:41:59. > :42:01.unpleasant than the other, and in this case it is hyperemesis

:42:02. > :42:05.gravidarum. Morning sickness is something that you expect in

:42:06. > :42:09.pregnancy. Pygott women like to feel nauseous, because it shows them that

:42:10. > :42:12.they are pregnant, their hormones are active, and the foetus is

:42:13. > :42:19.developing well -- pregnant women. Mild nausea may improve by rest, by

:42:20. > :42:22.that gingered biscuit cure that everyone goes on about. But

:42:23. > :42:30.hyperemesis gravidarum, on the other hand, is the complete opposite --

:42:31. > :42:36.ginger biscuit. It is severely the -- debilitating, I have passed the

:42:37. > :42:41.acute phase of hyperemesis. For me that was from five to 18 weeks, and

:42:42. > :42:47.I can... What sort of things? Because people can be sick 60, 70

:42:48. > :42:51.times a day? So for me sickness was about ten times a day. The main

:42:52. > :42:56.symptom was the crippling nausea. I was unable to eat and drink, I was

:42:57. > :43:00.unable to set up in bed. My mother and my husband had to lift me up to

:43:01. > :43:04.drink. Without them, I wouldn't have been able to function. I still can't

:43:05. > :43:08.look after my two-year-old child, which obviously is extremely

:43:09. > :43:15.upsetting. I lost weight, my prepregnancy weight back at five

:43:16. > :43:23.weeks was 52 kg, and it went down to 42 kg. And that can be... You talked

:43:24. > :43:28.about feeling awful, but actually it can be dangerous as well. Because I

:43:29. > :43:32.think the Duchess was in hospital ones with it. You also have ended up

:43:33. > :43:37.in hospital. His dehydration the problem? I ended up in hospital

:43:38. > :43:41.three times on this occasion, and it was severe dehydration. I felt

:43:42. > :43:45.dizzy, I wasn't urinating, I was unable to keep anything down for

:43:46. > :43:50.weeks on end. I had lost so much weight. My antenatal consultant

:43:51. > :43:53.described me, with all due respect to those people, described me as an

:43:54. > :44:00.African child who looked extremely malnourished when I fainted on her

:44:01. > :44:04.own clinic, at the time she admitted meet for IV steroids, which was the

:44:05. > :44:08.life changing treatment which I didn't access in my last pregnancy.

:44:09. > :44:12.We talked about the programme yesterday about the difference

:44:13. > :44:16.between a headache and a migraine, and the sufferer said if you haven't

:44:17. > :44:20.had it you don't know how bad it is. This sounds pretty similar. I

:44:21. > :44:25.wonder, is there support from GPs? To GPs understand? And if someone

:44:26. > :44:29.goes to the GP and says this is not morning sickness, this is worse, is

:44:30. > :44:33.that support network out there? I would say there is a growing support

:44:34. > :44:36.network out there. I think some GPs may not be aware of what hyperemesis

:44:37. > :44:40.gravidarum is, but they will certainly be willing to find out,

:44:41. > :44:48.look it up, and I would advise GPs at the moment to look up the RCOG

:44:49. > :44:52.guidelines. There is also a conference taking place in Windsor,

:44:53. > :44:58.in October, so midwives and GPs, go to that if you can. Send your team

:44:59. > :45:03.members. Hyperemesis is... Not a lot of people suffer from it. Most

:45:04. > :45:07.people suffer from mild to moderate end of nausea and vomiting, and a

:45:08. > :45:11.lot of GPs, for example myself, when I was a GP training, I was doing

:45:12. > :45:22.might have Citrix and Gynaecology in the first year of my GT --

:45:23. > :45:27.obstetrics and Gynaecology in the first year of my GP training, and

:45:28. > :45:30.there is a lot of support out there from GPs. And they are willing to

:45:31. > :45:36.work and established that doctor-patient relationship, to

:45:37. > :45:40.improve that. The second thing is a support charity which I am a trustee

:45:41. > :45:44.for have helpline which runs from 9am to 4:30pm and they can give you

:45:45. > :45:49.advice if you are facing barriers with mid midwives, with GPs, or

:45:50. > :45:54.getting into hospital to dehydration. They also have a

:45:55. > :45:59.volunteer support. So 1-to-1 Tech support, and that is why I am a

:46:00. > :46:04.trustee on this charity. And how are you today? Just briefly, are you OK?

:46:05. > :46:09.Yes, so I have passed my acute illness phase, or I wouldn't be

:46:10. > :46:13.here. Today is a massive step for me. It is the first four our

:46:14. > :46:17.journey, my brave sister brought me up here, my mum is looking after my

:46:18. > :46:20.little boy and she has been fantastic. My husband is extremely

:46:21. > :46:26.supportive. The full family involved.

:46:27. > :46:30.Here's Sarah with a look at this morning's weather.

:46:31. > :46:40.It is miserable in some places. We have cloud and rain around this

:46:41. > :46:44.morning but not everywhere. A bit of brightness. More of us will see the

:46:45. > :46:49.brightness later in the day. This morning, things are looking like

:46:50. > :46:57.this. A lot of cloud and missed. Across many parts of the country, a

:46:58. > :47:01.similar story. Mist. Mild and muggy from the word go but the skies will

:47:02. > :47:05.brighten up for many of us. Here is the rain it draped across the

:47:06. > :47:10.country. Some heavier birth down towards the south-west. Further

:47:11. > :47:16.east, less rain but still the odd drizzly shower around. 17 degrees.

:47:17. > :47:20.Quite a bit of a fog around the hills with the low cloud, too.

:47:21. > :47:31.Outbreaks of rain continue across northern England. Also, clearer

:47:32. > :47:36.conditions with some sunshine and also showers are around, too. This

:47:37. > :47:48.rain we have this morning will edge its way eastwards. Some parts down

:47:49. > :47:55.towards the Midlands will stay cloudy. Some brighter spells further

:47:56. > :48:02.south. It will feel warm. The chance of continuing showers. Into this

:48:03. > :48:11.morning and overnight, we say goodbye to them and we are in the

:48:12. > :48:17.clear, fresh weather. Still, a few showers it will feel different

:48:18. > :48:21.today. A touch of grass frost to the north. The fresh conditions continue

:48:22. > :48:27.on Wednesday and the winds coming from Atlantic. The best day of the

:48:28. > :48:32.week in terms of Sunshine tomorrow. A few showers for western Scotland,

:48:33. > :48:38.north-west England, too. With the light winds of further south,

:48:39. > :48:44.present temperatures, 19 degrees or so. Further north, 16 or 17. Less

:48:45. > :48:48.humid. The fresh, dry weather continues across the southern half

:48:49. > :48:53.of the country, lasting on Thursday. Further north, things are changing,

:48:54. > :48:57.bringing wet and windy weather. Particularly for Scotland, Northern

:48:58. > :49:04.Ireland and North of England. Late on Thursday and into Friday. We will

:49:05. > :49:15.see this area of low pressure. It is fitting to the north of the UK,

:49:16. > :49:18.bringing windy conditions. It could set us up for a fairly unsettled,

:49:19. > :49:33.windy and at times wet weekend. Now, cup of tea. A on my number

:49:34. > :49:41.three today. In terms of brewing, you have to go tag in first and then

:49:42. > :49:47.milk. Without question, Dan. We will put it to the test. I will surprise

:49:48. > :49:50.you and ask you afterwards. We are talking about this because the sales

:49:51. > :49:53.of traditional black tea are falling but fruit and herbal teas are on the

:49:54. > :49:53.rise. Sean's at a tea factory

:49:54. > :50:07.in North Yorkshire to tell us more. I don't think you put milk in any

:50:08. > :50:10.fruity or herbal teas either. This is the factory in Harrogate where

:50:11. > :50:24.they make Yorkshire tea. That is what is going on there. Sales are

:50:25. > :50:30.down. Rest assured, that is not the tea over there that will be going in

:50:31. > :50:38.your tea bags. Ian has the great job title as head of tea. You have

:50:39. > :50:42.thousands of these big bags out the back and you are basically in charge

:50:43. > :50:49.of bringing this stuff in. What is the biggest change you have seen in

:50:50. > :50:54.the market? A shift into African tea. There wasn't much tea growing

:50:55. > :50:59.in Africa in the 1950s. It was India and China. We are seeing a big shift

:51:00. > :51:04.in tea production in Africa so a lot of the tea is coming in from Africa.

:51:05. > :51:15.Most of the Tiwi buyer is from Kenya and Rwanda where we buy a lot. --

:51:16. > :51:22.most of the Tiwi buyer. -- most of the tea we buy. There has been

:51:23. > :51:27.criticism of the industry globally. On the whole, the way it has been

:51:28. > :51:32.treated. Tailors have said they are worried about the conditions they

:51:33. > :51:35.have been working in. What changes have inmates? We were founding

:51:36. > :51:41.members of the ethical tea partnership. The consortium of tea

:51:42. > :51:50.packers around the world working to improve standards globally. We add

:51:51. > :51:53.tailors are also helping to work. We are doing work within the

:51:54. > :52:02.communities of farmers to raise standards and bring water to

:52:03. > :52:08.schools. -- Taylors. We are building relationships. We have contracts in

:52:09. > :52:12.place so we know we are with them buying tea every week. Left just

:52:13. > :52:18.come around here for a second. When you look at the traditional tea bag,

:52:19. > :52:24.how do you know what flavours people want? We have talked about raspberry

:52:25. > :52:30.and cranberry. You have been used to lack of tea. Yeah, black tea is

:52:31. > :52:37.still so popular. -- lakh. Even my children drink it. They like green

:52:38. > :52:42.tea as well so they are trying different labour 's. We have

:52:43. > :52:47.research and developing team. -- research and development --

:52:48. > :52:52.flavours. I'm not surprised your children are drinking it if you're

:52:53. > :52:58.in dad is head of tea at Taylors. Let's look at how manufacturing is

:52:59. > :53:03.check -- changing. It is not a cotton mill. This is because they

:53:04. > :53:08.are making these sachets for all the new types of tea. This is a green

:53:09. > :53:17.tea line. This is a whole different type of production that tailors have

:53:18. > :53:21.had to invest in. -- Taylors. Good morning, Richard. How much of the

:53:22. > :53:29.change has the industry had to deal with when it comes to it? Are they

:53:30. > :53:33.spending lots of money? There has been a change in the tea market in

:53:34. > :53:38.recent years in that we have seen sales of black tea declining for a

:53:39. > :53:41.long time by volume but other areas within the tea market such as green

:53:42. > :53:46.tea which we are seeing over here and also fruit and herbal teas and

:53:47. > :53:52.you're more speciality blends which have been doing very well. That is

:53:53. > :53:59.actually compensated us to a certain extent to the decline seen in

:54:00. > :54:03.traditional black tea. Simple answer, what is your favourite

:54:04. > :54:13.alternative flavour? I do like green tea. Nice little first step towards

:54:14. > :54:17.something a bit more funky. We will be looking at it later at tasting.

:54:18. > :54:21.We will have a taste test and see how we can tell the difference

:54:22. > :54:28.between a black tea and a rhubarb and custard tea. To be honest, most

:54:29. > :54:39.of us can probably tell. That's fair. What is wrong with the mango

:54:40. > :54:43.or something, I mean, come on. Not for me. Simple pleasures.

:54:44. > :54:45.From calm and relaxed to energised and happy,

:54:46. > :54:47.how can a trip to the coast affect your mood?

:54:48. > :54:50.We've sent our deckchair across Britain to find out why

:54:51. > :55:05.Being by the sea makes me feel happy.

:55:06. > :55:08.Happy because I like to swim in the sea.

:55:09. > :55:10.Being by the sea always makes me feel refreshed,

:55:11. > :55:14.I had a really hard time about 15 years ago and I spent a couple

:55:15. > :55:18.of months living on the coast and it really blew the wind through my soul

:55:19. > :55:31.Yeah, being by the sea is, I think it's the best.

:56:42. > :56:46.your e-mail. Most of you making the gel is saying in our live by the

:56:47. > :56:50.sea, lucky you. 100% of people are saying that it does make a

:56:51. > :56:54.difference. Even the idea of going to the sea can lift your spirits.

:56:55. > :00:19.Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

:00:20. > :00:25.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

:00:26. > :00:28.South Korea's Navy holds live fire drills in a show of force.

:00:29. > :00:31.It comes as the US and China fail to agree on a way to address

:00:32. > :00:46.the escalating crisis in North Korea.

:00:47. > :00:51.Good morning, it's Tuesday the 5th of September.

:00:52. > :01:00.Also this morning - the feel-good factor of our coasts.

:01:01. > :01:07.Good morning from Falmouth, we have brought a deck chair to look at the

:01:08. > :01:12.so-called blue health on the Cornish coast. Researchers are using virtual

:01:13. > :01:15.reality technology to try to harness the therapeutic power of the sea.

:01:16. > :01:17.It's back to business for MPs in Westminster as David Davis faces

:01:18. > :01:22.questions over how his Brexit negotiations are going.

:01:23. > :01:31.Good morning. Are we falling out of love with the humble cuppa? Vigurs

:01:32. > :01:35.seen by Breakfast show that we are buying fewer black tea bags but we

:01:36. > :01:39.are buying more things like green tea and decaf tea. I am at a tea

:01:40. > :01:42.factory in Harrogate to find out why.

:01:43. > :01:46.In sport, World Cup qualifying wins last night for England, Scotland and

:01:47. > :01:50.Northern Ireland. Michael O'Neill's side beat the Czech Republic 2-0 in

:01:51. > :01:56.Belfast, which should guarantee them a play-off spot.

:01:57. > :02:01.Get me out of this boat! Utterly horrible.

:02:02. > :02:04.Horrible. He has endured arctic conditions and horrendous blisters.

:02:05. > :02:09.We will check in with a record-breaking rower who was back

:02:10. > :02:12.in the UK, look at those hands, after more than two weeks stranded

:02:13. > :02:16.on a remote Norwegian island. We will be finding out whether his

:02:17. > :02:21.hands have recovered. Sarah has the weather. Good morning,

:02:22. > :02:25.quite murky, Misty and drizzly firs thing but the weather will brighten

:02:26. > :02:27.up later and into tomorrow. All the details in around 15 minutes.

:02:28. > :02:29.Thank you very much, Sarah. South Korea's navy has held major

:02:30. > :02:34.live fire drills in the latest show A South Korean commander said

:02:35. > :02:38.the North's forces would be buried at sea in the event

:02:39. > :02:41.of a further provocation. Meanwhile international pressure

:02:42. > :02:44.continues to build against the regime following its largest

:02:45. > :02:48.nuclear bomb test to date. Yesterday the South staged

:02:49. > :02:50.a simulated attack on the North's nuclear test site involving

:02:51. > :02:54.land-based missile While in New York, the United States

:02:55. > :02:59.warned the UN Security Council that Kim Jong Un was begging for war

:03:00. > :03:02.and that although Washington does not want conflict,

:03:03. > :03:18.its patience was not unlimited. Nuclear powers understand their

:03:19. > :03:23.responsibilities. Kim Jong Un shows no such understanding. His abusive

:03:24. > :03:24.use of missiles and his nuclear threats show that he is begging for

:03:25. > :03:27.war. Earlier we spoke to our China

:03:28. > :03:29.correspondent John Sudworth, who is in Dangdong, on the border

:03:30. > :03:44.between China and North Korea. The Chinese city of Dangdong is a

:03:45. > :03:48.good place to contemplate China's position in this crisis. You can see

:03:49. > :03:52.how close the two countries are at this point, they are connected by

:03:53. > :03:57.that iron bridge behind me and almost all of North Korea's trade in

:03:58. > :04:03.goods and its vital crude oil supply flows across this border. You can

:04:04. > :04:08.see an antiquated North Korean power station on the other side, a sign of

:04:09. > :04:14.how dilapidated its energy infrastructure is. Donald Trump's

:04:15. > :04:20.argument is that China could, if it wanted to, simply force North Korea

:04:21. > :04:24.into submission by turning off this lifeline, but when you look at this

:04:25. > :04:29.proximity you can see why the Chinese leadership see things very

:04:30. > :04:37.differently indeed. Their fear is that pushing North Korea towards

:04:38. > :04:39.regime collapse would bring chaos and instability, fractional

:04:40. > :04:43.infighting, possibly even wore right up against the border. That is why

:04:44. > :04:48.Beijing insists it will not contemplate a total trade embargo,

:04:49. > :04:52.it will not contemplate talk of military options and all it wants to

:04:53. > :04:53.see is a return to dialogue. That has been its position all along.

:04:54. > :04:57.In just over 15 minutes we will be getting a view of what life

:04:58. > :05:01.We'll be speaking to a tour operator to the region.

:05:02. > :05:03.They have visited the country several times.

:05:04. > :05:06.The Brexit Secretary David Davis will face questions in the Commons

:05:07. > :05:07.this afternoon as MPs return to Westminster after

:05:08. > :05:11.He will give an update on last week's third round of negotiations

:05:12. > :05:14.with the European Union as Downing Street promises to

:05:15. > :05:24.Our political correspondent Iain Watson joins us from Westminster.

:05:25. > :05:31.Is he likely to get a bit of a grilling on the first day back? I

:05:32. > :05:37.think that is fair to say. Over the summer the Government set out in

:05:38. > :05:41.more detail its Brexit strategy in a different position paper, another is

:05:42. > :05:45.coming tomorrow. MPs will be keen to check the progress, or lack of it,

:05:46. > :05:48.on the negotiations with the EU Commission. The Government is very

:05:49. > :05:54.keen to move onto wider trade talks this autumn. The European Commission

:05:55. > :05:58.far less so. I think David Davis will get many questions about his

:05:59. > :06:01.negotiation strategy and whether he is adopting the right approach. I

:06:02. > :06:05.think an even bigger challenge for the Government will come later this

:06:06. > :06:09.week with the EU withdrawal bill, as it is called, the Great Repeal Bill,

:06:10. > :06:14.as the Government would like to call it, is debated. That would take us

:06:15. > :06:17.out of the EU but transfer lots of EU laws into British laws. The

:06:18. > :06:21.Labour Shadow Cabinet is meeting of the Jeremy Corbyn this morning and

:06:22. > :06:26.they will be pushing the Government to guarantee workers' writes. There

:06:27. > :06:30.will be also more Parliamentary scrutiny of the Brexit process. They

:06:31. > :06:36.say ministers want too much pressure for themselves. I think it will be a

:06:37. > :06:37.difficult first week back for the Government ministers. There could be

:06:38. > :06:39.a bit of a ding-dong. A man who was swept to sea off

:06:40. > :06:42.Cornwall yesterday afternoon has He was one of two men

:06:43. > :06:46.who were washed off rocks while fishing at Treyarnon Bay,

:06:47. > :06:47.near Padstow. A search for the second man

:06:48. > :06:52.is resuming this morning. A report into whether social

:06:53. > :06:56.services failed a young girl who was murdered by her mother

:06:57. > :06:59.will be published today. Ayeeshia Smith died

:07:00. > :07:01.in 2014 aged 21 months. She had been left in the care

:07:02. > :07:04.of her mother, Kathryn Smith, despite concerns raised

:07:05. > :07:05.by other relatives. The findings of a serious

:07:06. > :07:07.case review will be Islands in the Caribbean

:07:25. > :07:31.a state of emergency to give local Scotland's First Minister,

:07:32. > :07:38.Nicola Sturgeon, will set out her Government's legislative

:07:39. > :07:40.programme this afternoon - pledging a bold and ambitious plan

:07:41. > :07:51.for the coming year. A deposit scheme is expected to be

:07:52. > :07:58.announced the return of plastic bottles. But the main focus of the

:07:59. > :08:00.programme will be on improving education and the economy.

:08:01. > :08:05.Our Scotland correspondent Lorna Gordon joins us from Holyrood.

:08:06. > :08:10.What do we expect? This is described as the green is

:08:11. > :08:14.programme for government ever seen, so there will be the deposit return

:08:15. > :08:18.scheme for plastic waste, expect more announcements to do with the

:08:19. > :08:23.environment. I think the challenge for Nicola Sturgeon and her

:08:24. > :08:26.Government is to counter accusations from the opposition in Scotland that

:08:27. > :08:32.they have neglected the day job, the domestic agenda, to focus on

:08:33. > :08:35.arguments for a second independence referendum. Before the summer she

:08:36. > :08:44.said she would take stock and refreshed and said that after ten

:08:45. > :08:47.years in power the SNP needed to set out what she called creative, bold

:08:48. > :08:49.and radical policy. I think it is fair to say we can expect lots of

:08:50. > :08:53.announcements today touching on every area of public life like

:08:54. > :08:56.health, education, handing more powers to head teachers. There will

:08:57. > :09:04.be announcements on the economy, a lifting of the controversial 1% cap

:09:05. > :09:07.on public sector pay as well. In total, we expect 16 pieces of

:09:08. > :09:09.legislation to be announced today. Thank you very much, Lorna.

:11:51. > :11:52.adventure. They've broken 11 world records -

:11:53. > :11:55.the most for any ocean rowing expedition in history -

:11:56. > :11:57.but for the nine men crew of Polar Row, it hasn't

:11:58. > :11:59.all been smooth sailing. Forced to abandon the final

:12:00. > :12:01.leg of their journey from Norway to Iceland,

:12:02. > :12:03.the rowers became stranded on a remote volcanic

:12:04. > :12:06.island for over two weeks. Now safely back home,

:12:07. > :12:09.one of the crew - Olympic gold medallist Alex Gregory -

:12:10. > :12:11.will be telling us about his We talked to him when he was on the

:12:12. > :12:17.island. But first let's look back

:12:18. > :12:21.at their incredible journey. It's all going to be

:12:22. > :12:24.dependent on weather and ice. We don't know how long

:12:25. > :12:28.it's going to take. It might take 20 days, it might take

:12:29. > :12:31.more, it might take less. We've got enough food, we've got

:12:32. > :12:35.enough provisions, we're all set, We're on the beach here, scattered

:12:36. > :13:24.with driftwood and whale bones. There are a group of 18 Norwegian

:13:25. > :13:29.people who live here. We've probably overstayed our

:13:30. > :13:31.welcome by now, so we're really working hard on trying to flag down

:13:32. > :13:34.a boat, and we hear there's a boat coming past next week sometime,

:13:35. > :13:37.and so we're hoping It looked like a movie, but it was

:13:38. > :13:50.real life. And double Olympic champion

:13:51. > :13:52.Alex Gregory is safely back home in Oxfordshire this morning,

:13:53. > :13:59.and joins us now. Good morning. Those were your hands,

:14:00. > :14:04.can you show your hands to the camera to make sure they are back to

:14:05. > :14:09.normal, please? The hands are absolutely fine now. Just a little

:14:10. > :14:15.bit of peeling skin, that is all. How painful was that? We talk about

:14:16. > :14:23.the adventure, but what had happened, was the just water getting

:14:24. > :14:26.into the skin? That was just days and days, probably ten days, of

:14:27. > :14:31.wearing white gloves and never having the opportunity to dry out.

:14:32. > :14:37.We were wet in cold conditions for 12 days in total, really. There is

:14:38. > :14:41.no time or place to dry out. The hands just soaked up all the

:14:42. > :14:49.moisture. That was the result. My goodness. You got 11 world records,

:14:50. > :14:58.you just missed out on one, tell us about those last few days? The whole

:14:59. > :15:05.experience was incredible. I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to

:15:06. > :15:10.do that. I started on Svalbard, the whole exhibition started in northern

:15:11. > :15:15.Norway and a fee -- a crew of five rotors Svalbard, that is the island

:15:16. > :15:19.'s with the most continuously inhabited people... The most

:15:20. > :15:24.northerly town in the world that is continuously inhabited. I arrived on

:15:25. > :15:29.Svalbard on August the 2nd, on the 8th of August we pushed off land and

:15:30. > :15:35.headed north. We tried to roll as far north as we possibly could and

:15:36. > :15:40.so for four days in four nights we travelled north, got to the

:15:41. > :15:45.permanent ice, we got as far as we could possibly row and apply it was

:15:46. > :15:50.amazing, it was ice as far as you could see, Wales were popping up,

:15:51. > :15:55.seals were popping up and we turned south-west and headed for Iceland,

:15:56. > :15:59.that was the end destination, the ultimate goal. But on the way we

:16:00. > :16:05.encountered some pretty rough forever. Very rough weather, I would

:16:06. > :16:16.say. It was fairly horrendous for a number of days. I was scared.

:16:17. > :16:24.We saw in the video those dark times and how emotional you got. You

:16:25. > :16:29.genuinely felt this could be the end, that you might not have got

:16:30. > :16:34.back to see your family if you had carried on? Yes, at certain times I

:16:35. > :16:39.felt that and when you're tired and exhausted and in high waves and

:16:40. > :16:43.rough conditions, ah, it's scary and it want necessarily the size of the

:16:44. > :16:48.waves that worried me, it was the cold of the water and if, if by

:16:49. > :16:53.chance the boat had flipped which does happen ne ocean rowing, if that

:16:54. > :16:57.happened I believe one of us or some of us wouldn't have come home alive.

:16:58. > :17:00.You don't have much chance in that water to get warm and dry and

:17:01. > :17:05.particularly on that boat where there was no dry area and no warm

:17:06. > :17:12.area then I think it would have been the end. So we headed for, when our

:17:13. > :17:16.power supplies declined, were out of action, we headed for an island and

:17:17. > :17:21.we landed on the beach there and we were welcomed by the Norwegian

:17:22. > :17:26.people on that island. We spoke to you when you were on the island and

:17:27. > :17:32.you were just waiting for a ship to come past and it did? Yeah, that's

:17:33. > :17:36.right. We had been there more about a week, well just over a week, and

:17:37. > :17:41.it was, my decision not to continue to Iceland. We had maybe 300 miles

:17:42. > :17:44.left to go and as far as I was concerned the expedition was a

:17:45. > :17:48.massive success. We had achieved everything and more we wanted to

:17:49. > :17:53.achieve and I didn't want to take the risk because I wanted to come

:17:54. > :17:58.home to my family and see my family. I didn't want to take that risk. I

:17:59. > :18:03.didn't want to be an irresponsible parent so we decided to stay and it

:18:04. > :18:07.was just a case of waiting, waiting for a boat to come past. You can't

:18:08. > :18:11.have flights on the island. It's a military base. There is a

:18:12. > :18:14.meteorological station and there is 18 people station thered and there

:18:15. > :18:18.wasn't much chance of getting off the island. So we just had to wait

:18:19. > :18:22.and we were perfectly well looked after. It was an amazing place. We

:18:23. > :18:29.were fed so well. It was a beautiful island. A volcanic island covered in

:18:30. > :18:32.the black sands and the black rock were covered in green moss. It was

:18:33. > :18:36.an amazing place to live and we just had to wait and luckily the

:18:37. > :18:41.Norwegian coastguard was coming past a few days ago. We're thankful

:18:42. > :18:46.you're back home safely. You spoke about being a responsible parent. Is

:18:47. > :18:50.it right your little daughter Daisy, it is first day at school today, so

:18:51. > :18:56.you were desperate to get back to take Daisy to school? Is she there

:18:57. > :19:05.with you? Daisy is here. It is her first day. Daisy, your first day of

:19:06. > :19:09.school? She is very excited and Jasper is coming into Year 3. I got

:19:10. > :19:15.home yesterday afternoon and I'm glad to be back with them. How many

:19:16. > :19:19.have you got? Are you going to keep bringing children in from left,

:19:20. > :19:22.right and centre there, Alex. There is one more, but he's having his

:19:23. > :19:29.breakfast. He doesn't need to come. He's not going to school yet! I'm

:19:30. > :19:36.sure it's lovely to have dad back. Daisy, I hope you have a fantastic

:19:37. > :19:41.first day at school. Thank you very much. Thank you. It is lovely to see

:19:42. > :19:44.you home safe and well. Thank you very much indeed.

:19:45. > :19:47.There will be so many people out there starting their first day of

:19:48. > :19:51.school. Good luck to everybody. Good luck to all the mums and dads. That

:19:52. > :19:56.moment when you leave them. They have got a baby called Jessie as

:19:57. > :19:57.well. Here's Sarah with a look

:19:58. > :20:08.at this morning's weather. For all the children heading back to

:20:09. > :20:13.school today it is a soggy school run this morning.

:20:14. > :20:19.Bear with the weather, there will be brightness later on. By home time

:20:20. > :20:23.some of us will see sunshine. It is a damp start to the day. Muggy and

:20:24. > :20:27.humid out there with all the cloud and the drizzle and low cloud and

:20:28. > :20:30.hill fog, but it will turn brighter later because this slow moving

:20:31. > :20:33.weather front will ease its way towards the east. So parts of

:20:34. > :20:36.northern England and down towards the Midlands and Wales will stay

:20:37. > :20:39.quite soggy through the day, but towards the north and the west of

:20:40. > :20:43.the country here we will see the brighter, clearer conditions moving

:20:44. > :20:46.in and further towards the south and south-east, here we will see a few

:20:47. > :20:50.showers continuing on into the afternoon, but this is 4pm now. You

:20:51. > :20:54.will start to see a few glimmers of sunshine breaking through the cloud,

:20:55. > :20:57.but still the chance of showers into the afternoon and temperatures 20,

:20:58. > :21:01.perhaps as high as 22 Celsius in the sunnier spots. I think north of

:21:02. > :21:05.Birmingham probably staying damp through much of the day, up towards

:21:06. > :21:08.Lincolnshire, Northumberland too. To the north of that, for Cumbria and

:21:09. > :21:11.Northern Ireland and for much of Scotland it is a return to the

:21:12. > :21:15.clearer skies later on today. So sunshine, still a chance of a few

:21:16. > :21:20.showers and breezy here too. Into the evening hours, we will lose that

:21:21. > :21:24.slow moving front as it clears the East Coast and we are all in the

:21:25. > :21:28.different air mass. So clearer, fresher conditions and breezy with a

:21:29. > :21:30.few showers in the far north-west too, but temperatures this time

:21:31. > :21:35.tomorrow morning will be cooler than they are this morning. Colder in the

:21:36. > :21:38.countryside. So we've got the breeze coming in from the Atlantic

:21:39. > :21:43.tomorrow. That brings us a fresher feel and a breezy day as well with

:21:44. > :21:46.showers continuing across parts of Western Scotland and perhaps the odd

:21:47. > :21:50.one into north-west England, but for the majority of places tomorrow is

:21:51. > :21:55.looking like a dry day. Probably the best day of the week, Wednesday, if

:21:56. > :21:59.you like it sunny and dry too. It will feel less muggy and less humid

:22:00. > :22:03.with temperatures around 16 to 19 Celsius. And then it is likely to

:22:04. > :22:06.start Thursday on that fresher note. Mostly dry across the southern half

:22:07. > :22:11.of the country through the day, but further north you will notice this

:22:12. > :22:13.rain and the wind picking up too across Northern Ireland and Scotland

:22:14. > :22:18.and pushing further south later on in the day. I think we will hold on

:22:19. > :22:20.to the brighter skies across parts of southern England and South Wales

:22:21. > :22:25.where it could be 20 Celsius, but as we head towards the end of the week

:22:26. > :22:28.and into the weekend more of us will feel the influence of this area of

:22:29. > :22:32.low pressure. So that sits to the north of the UK. The winds rotating

:22:33. > :22:36.around the low pressure, a breezy feel by the time we get to Friday

:22:37. > :22:40.with sunshine and also a few heavy showers and that sets us up for a

:22:41. > :22:45.pretty unsettled weekend. Back to you both.

:22:46. > :22:47.A failed state, a rogue nation, led by the world's

:22:48. > :22:49.most dangerous man - North Korea has been

:22:50. > :22:52.described as many things, but few would consider it a holiday

:22:53. > :22:54.destination, especially in light of the regime's

:22:55. > :22:59.Our next guest, however, has not only travelled

:23:00. > :23:02.to the country but makes his living operating tours to the notoriously

:23:03. > :23:15.Good morning to you. You were last in North Korea in June. Back in

:23:16. > :23:19.June. Tell us what is it like? It is a parallel universe. From the moment

:23:20. > :23:25.you step off the plane it's like you're still in the Cold War. Like

:23:26. > :23:30.the 1950s James Bond world. It's something else. It's really

:23:31. > :23:35.impossible to describe. You first went there in 2004. 2004, yes. Was

:23:36. > :23:41.it anything like you expected it to be and maybe you could develop that

:23:42. > :23:47.by saying how it has changed in the 13 years since then? It blew me

:23:48. > :23:50.away. I travelled for leisure and work to over 60 countries and

:23:51. > :23:56.compared to North Korea, nothing can compare to the place. Back then, it

:23:57. > :24:00.was a lot stricter, a lot more controlled than it is now days and

:24:01. > :24:05.particularly in the last four or five years it is getting more

:24:06. > :24:11.relaxed and the locals are more of the outside world and the real world

:24:12. > :24:14.and less indoctrinated with the whole system that we know about.

:24:15. > :24:19.When you're there, you have to travel all the time with a State

:24:20. > :24:23.minder, do you? What's that like? From the moment you touch down, you

:24:24. > :24:28.have two minders looking after you. They stay in the hotel so they are

:24:29. > :24:32.with you 24/7. They are nice people with a good sense of humour. They

:24:33. > :24:37.are guides as opposed to guards. Generally nice people, but it can be

:24:38. > :24:40.overbearing for some. Can they let down their guard when they are

:24:41. > :24:44.talking to you? A little bit. Sometimes, because a lot of these

:24:45. > :24:47.people I've worked with for years and years. So over time you get to

:24:48. > :24:53.build up friendly relations and they do let down their guard a bit, but

:24:54. > :24:58.some things are never discussed. I can imagine. What is your view

:24:59. > :25:02.having been there many times and spoken to many North Korean

:25:03. > :25:05.residents what is your view of the recent posturing with missiles and

:25:06. > :25:10.tests? What is at play? In my opinion it is all about self

:25:11. > :25:15.preservation, the North Koreans know if they went to war with the USA or

:25:16. > :25:21.the south it would be total suicide. It is about trying to get talks back

:25:22. > :25:25.to the table to stop there being military games between the USA and

:25:26. > :25:31.South Korea and really want to be considered as a fully fledge nuclear

:25:32. > :25:39.state and treated on an equal playing field and about self

:25:40. > :25:44.preservation. They say looked what happened to Saddam Hussain and

:25:45. > :25:48.colonel ga tafy. Tell us about how much information is there? Do the

:25:49. > :25:51.North Koreans, they have ideas about what is going with the nuclear

:25:52. > :25:58.missiles, but what about outside information? Very little outside

:25:59. > :26:02.news. All the news for domestic consumption is districted by the

:26:03. > :26:07.State so it has a very positive North Korean spin on it. They don't

:26:08. > :26:10.have an accurate idea of how we will be reacting here in the west as to

:26:11. > :26:14.what has been going on over the last few weeks and months. We hear a lot

:26:15. > :26:17.being said about the economy and the way people are living and really

:26:18. > :26:23.terrible conditions. We have heard reports. What have you seen? The

:26:24. > :26:28.conditions in the 1990s the country went through a terrible decade and

:26:29. > :26:32.there was famine and very bleak era, but since I have been going there,

:26:33. > :26:37.the country seems year-on-year to be getting better and better and if you

:26:38. > :26:41.are a citizen of Pyongyang now, it's a relatively comfortable life. It's

:26:42. > :26:47.not, I think, as bad as we expect. When you compare it so South Korea,

:26:48. > :26:52.they are poles apart, but when you compare it to poorer parts of Asia

:26:53. > :26:56.or many countries in Africa, it is better. Are you going back next

:26:57. > :26:59.year? Yes, looking forward to it. Really interesting to talk to you.

:27:00. > :30:29.Thank you very much indeed. A really fascinating insight.

:30:30. > :30:33.This is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

:30:34. > :30:35.South Korea's Navy has held major live-fire drills in the latest show

:30:43. > :30:46.at sea" in the event of a further provocation.

:30:47. > :30:50.Meanwhile, international pressure continues to build against

:30:51. > :30:52.the regime following its largest nuclear bomb test to date.

:30:53. > :30:55.Yesterday the United States warned the UN Security Council that

:30:56. > :31:08.Earlier, we spoke to our China correspondent at the border between

:31:09. > :31:21.China and North Korea. If we pan across the river, you can

:31:22. > :31:24.see just how close the two countries are at this point. They are

:31:25. > :31:34.connected by that iron bridge behind me, and almost all of North Korea's

:31:35. > :31:38.trade in goods flows across this border. You can see an antiquated

:31:39. > :31:43.North Korean power station on the other side, a sign of just how

:31:44. > :31:48.dilapidated its energy infrastructure is. Donald Trump's

:31:49. > :31:54.argument is that China could if it wanted to simply force North Korea

:31:55. > :31:57.into submission by turning off this lifeline. When you look at this

:31:58. > :32:03.proximity, you can see why the Chinese leadership see things very

:32:04. > :32:10.differently indeed. Their fear is that pushing North Korea towards

:32:11. > :32:14.regime collapse will bring chaos and instability, factional infighting,

:32:15. > :32:17.possibly even walk, right up against this border, and that is why Beijing

:32:18. > :32:22.is insisting that it will not contemplate a total trade embargo or

:32:23. > :32:26.talk of military options. All it wants to see is a return to

:32:27. > :32:28.dialogue, and that has been its position all along.

:36:32. > :36:36.generic plane shots? I don't think these are actual, real shots of the

:36:37. > :36:42.aeroplane. Or, to be honest, the actual scorpion. It was in a plane

:36:43. > :36:49.like this! Some lively pictures of planes, and no scorpion! I don't

:36:50. > :37:00.know, either, whether the scorpion was OK. Scorpions Monoplane. There

:38:16. > :38:18.morning: Do you prefer builder's Sean's looking at how our taste

:38:19. > :38:21.in tea is changing. From the classroom to the pitch -

:38:22. > :38:25.how a book about football could help children learn about science,

:38:26. > :38:27.geography and even Spanish. And after nine, we'll learn how

:38:28. > :38:29.to cook the perfect boiled egg, as author Marty Jopson reveals

:38:30. > :38:43.the science behind some Sally is here with the sport. Good

:38:44. > :38:47.news all round last night in the football? A perfect recipe for the

:38:48. > :38:52.build-up to the World Cup. It is simmering nicely.

:38:53. > :38:54.It was a great night for the Home Nations

:38:55. > :38:56.in their World Cup qualifying matches - news of England

:38:57. > :38:59.and Scotland in a moment but the result of the night came

:39:00. > :39:03.from Northern Ireland, who secured second place in Group C

:39:06. > :39:08.Jonny Evans scored the first - his first goal for his

:39:12. > :39:13.Northern Ireland aren't quite certain yet of a spot

:39:14. > :39:16.in the play-offs but manager Michael O'Neill is confident

:39:17. > :39:24.With Germany coming here, it would be nice to take an extra point, and

:39:25. > :39:29.Norway away. If we need something in the final two games, we will have to

:39:30. > :39:33.go and get it - simple as that. We are in a strong position, and if you

:39:34. > :39:37.look at this campaign, it has almost been flawless, to be honest. Seven

:39:38. > :39:41.clean sheets out of eight games, and the only defeat away to Germany. As

:39:42. > :39:45.a manager, there is not much more you can ask for the players.

:39:46. > :39:48.England need just two points from their final two games

:39:49. > :39:52.to qualify after they came from behind to beat Slovakia 2-1

:39:53. > :39:54.at Wembley Goals from Eric Dier and Marcus Rashford gave England

:39:55. > :40:00.the win after the Slovaks took the lead with just

:40:01. > :40:08.He said it was directed at a team-mate, not the referee. You have

:40:09. > :40:18.to be so careful. England will qualify if they beat

:40:19. > :40:22.Slovenia at home next month but it was Rashford

:40:23. > :40:25.who was the match-winner last night Scotland took advantage

:40:26. > :40:28.of the chance to make up some ground Christophe Berra gave them

:40:29. > :40:33.an early lead against Malta, Leigh Griffiths made it two

:40:34. > :40:35.after half time. If they can win their last two games

:40:36. > :40:38.than they can qualify for the play-offs despite a slow

:40:39. > :40:43.start to their campaign. Juan Martin Del Potro produced

:40:44. > :40:46.an incredible comeback overnight to reach the quarter-finals

:40:47. > :40:50.of the US Open - he fought back from two sets down

:41:31. > :41:35.UK's candidate city for the 2022 Commonwealth Games? We should find

:41:36. > :41:38.out within the next week or so. Liverpool and Birmingham are vying

:41:39. > :41:42.for the award. Birmingham has released a list of 22 reasons why it

:41:43. > :41:58.should be them. They have mentioned a legacy including refurbishing the

:41:59. > :42:07.Alexander Stadium. Do that again for us, Dan. Archery will Beer Aintree,

:42:08. > :42:17.and Everton's not yet built stadium would be involved. And they were

:42:18. > :42:28.talking about -- archery will take place at Aintree. And they were

:42:29. > :42:39.talking about swimming in the dock. If you were wearing your wet suit it

:42:40. > :42:43.would be fine. Good luck to both cities.

:42:44. > :42:45.Most parents might feel football already takes up too much

:42:46. > :42:48.of their children's attention, but a new book is trying to make

:42:49. > :42:51.them spend a little more time on the beautiful game,

:42:52. > :42:54.It uses football to teach everything from science to geography,

:42:55. > :42:59.We caught up with the authors Alex Bellos and Ben Lyttleton yesterday.

:43:00. > :43:06.I began by asking them if teaching using football could really work?

:43:07. > :43:09.It totally works because children are passionate about football.

:43:10. > :43:11.You give them something they are passionate

:43:12. > :43:12.about, they're going to

:43:13. > :43:19.I also think that children are interested in

:43:20. > :43:22.information if you present it in an entertaining way.

:43:23. > :43:23.And our book is full of jokes, amazing facts.

:43:24. > :43:27.It's got loads of stuff that even the

:43:28. > :43:31.I like that you have the letters on your

:43:32. > :43:45.For this age group, boys between eight and 12 are

:43:46. > :43:47.dropping out of literacy, not engaged in Reading.

:43:48. > :43:50.And we know, as Alex said, they are passionate about

:43:51. > :43:52.football, and this is a way of getting them into football.

:43:53. > :43:54.The National Literacy Trust has released

:43:55. > :43:57.figures that show that only one boy out of four reads

:43:58. > :44:01.75% of schools are worried about this issue, so if we can

:44:02. > :44:03.engage them through the gateway of football into literacy, they will

:44:04. > :44:06.enjoy reading and writing and improve their performances at

:44:07. > :44:10.Suffice to say, you had one book already, and it seems to have

:44:11. > :44:19.It was short listed for the Blue Peter

:44:20. > :44:23.We had amazing response from teachers, children.

:44:24. > :44:25.And parents, who say to us my child wouldn't

:44:26. > :44:30.and now they are reading regularly because they got into it through

:44:31. > :44:35.If you look at the front cover, you think, it's another football

:44:36. > :44:37.book, but it's so much more than that.

:44:38. > :44:39.How do you teach something like geography, chemistry or biology?

:44:40. > :44:42.We think there is nothing you cannot explain through the prism of

:44:43. > :44:49.Why do Brazilians play the way they do?

:44:50. > :44:57.It's because of the geography of Brazil.

:44:58. > :44:59.It's because of the rainfall of Brazil, it's

:45:00. > :45:02.The cities and the urban sprawl of Brazil.

:45:03. > :45:03.So the geography explains why Brazilians

:45:04. > :45:11.Well, you could, but there are other things.

:45:12. > :45:13.You need to learn about gravity, about air resistance,

:45:14. > :45:21.I spoke to some children before we wrote the book and said,

:45:22. > :45:24.what are the things you want to know about football that your parents

:45:25. > :45:29.Why don't footballers ever need to stop their game and go

:45:30. > :45:35.We spoke to some top doctors at premiership clubs to find

:45:36. > :45:39.You need to know about nutrition, when to eat, what to eat.

:45:40. > :45:42.I think Gary Lineker did once, but he wasn't trying to at the time.

:45:43. > :45:45.We had a great response from someone who read that.

:45:46. > :45:46.Basically, footballers eat three hours before

:45:47. > :45:51.And you tell the story, Ben, it was a friend of yours.

:45:52. > :45:54.A parent of a reader came up and said,

:45:55. > :45:56.I'm so pleased because you told children what to eat before games -

:45:57. > :46:01.So this child went to her mother and said, I want fish

:46:02. > :46:05.Eight o'clock in the morning, three hours before kick-off.

:46:06. > :46:08.It's probably a sensible breakfast, isn't it?

:46:09. > :46:10.It's brilliant because the mother was so

:46:11. > :46:16.Unfortunately, for children, because they metabolise their food so

:46:17. > :46:19.quickly, the child was starving after two hours.

:46:20. > :46:21.So, for children, it's two hours before a game.

:46:22. > :46:26.Also, studies into penalties, for example,

:46:27. > :46:38.So, penalties is about not necessarily technique, as

:46:39. > :46:40.all fans of English football will know, it's

:46:41. > :46:49.It's about focus, preparation, learning to prepare well.

:46:50. > :46:51.And that can take children into exams and

:46:52. > :46:53.tests and help them in other areas of their lives.

:46:54. > :46:56.I think another thing about this book is that when

:46:57. > :46:58.we go to school, we're told, this is English, maths, geography.

:46:59. > :47:00.Actually, everything is connected, and through

:47:01. > :47:02.football, you can show how everything is connected and

:47:03. > :47:03.encourage a curiosity about the world.

:47:04. > :47:06.Psychology is this, you can apply it to that.

:47:07. > :47:08.Maths is this, you can apply it to that.

:47:09. > :47:10.I know you started this interview talking about

:47:11. > :47:12.the particular problem you had with boys reading,

:47:13. > :47:17.No, one of the key issues, the key messages of the

:47:18. > :47:19.book, is inclusivity, so we are really into girls' football.

:47:20. > :47:20.There are loads of examples of female

:47:21. > :47:22.players, female role models who play football

:47:23. > :47:27.In season two, we have a history chapter on the time when

:47:28. > :47:29.women's football was more popular than men's football.

:47:30. > :47:35.It's a really important period in English history, because it is

:47:36. > :47:37.pre-suffragettes, and so the children are learning about voting

:47:38. > :47:40.and women's voting rights, and all through football.

:47:41. > :47:42.It's a great way to talk about some of the great

:47:43. > :47:45.historical things that have happened in the last 150 years.

:47:46. > :47:47.In all honesty, fellas, I can't think of a

:47:48. > :47:50.book that wouldn't be made better by having a quiz at the end of every

:47:51. > :47:56.You get tested on what you just read, and you learn as you go.

:47:57. > :48:01.And with a quiz, you can put really funny answers there.

:48:02. > :48:03.It doesn't have to be too complicated.

:48:04. > :48:05.It's a way of learning without feeling that you

:48:06. > :48:08.You work it out yourself, and that's the great

:48:09. > :48:14.Do be prepared for Mr Dan Walker to nick some of your facts.

:48:15. > :48:24.That was Alex Bellow and Ben Lyttleton.

:48:25. > :48:27.Their book is called 'Football School Season Two -

:48:28. > :48:39.Here's Sarah with a look at this morning's weather.

:48:40. > :48:47.Irma, That picture sums it up? Yes, a bit damp and drizzly. But we are

:48:48. > :48:50.have been talking about the benefits of heading to the coast and our

:48:51. > :48:55.weather watchers have been heading to the coast. This is North

:48:56. > :49:00.Yorkshire taken by Alistair. A lot of cloud and some mist and murk and

:49:01. > :49:07.rain. But bear with the weather, for many of us after the damp start it

:49:08. > :49:13.will brighten up. It will feel muggy and humid, but many places should

:49:14. > :49:17.see some sunshine. By this morning, there is a weather front bringing

:49:18. > :49:22.cloud and rain through southern Scotland, northern England, Wales

:49:23. > :49:26.and the south-west. In the east things are brighter. But clearer

:49:27. > :49:30.conditions heading in from the north-west. In the afternoon some

:49:31. > :49:34.sunshine here and some brightness in western Wales and down to Devon and

:49:35. > :49:44.Cornwall. As we move further east still cloudy this afternoon with a

:49:45. > :49:49.few showers. Where we see sunnier nier spells in Essex. For the far

:49:50. > :49:53.north of England and Northern Ireland and Scotland you will see a

:49:54. > :49:59.return to brighter conditions, still a few showers, it will feel fresher

:50:00. > :50:04.and breezy in the north-west. Tonight eventually we wave goodbye

:50:05. > :50:09.to this weather front and we see the clearing skies and that means

:50:10. > :50:14.temperatures will dip down. It will feel much fresher. This time

:50:15. > :50:18.tomorrow 11 or 12 in towns and cities, but coulder in the

:50:19. > :50:24.countryside. A different feel with the air coming in from the Atlantic.

:50:25. > :50:29.It will feel fresher and it will be a brighter day. Wednesday will be

:50:30. > :50:34.the best day of the week and most places staying dry and bright. Some

:50:35. > :50:39.showers in north-west England and western Scotland. Elsewhere you will

:50:40. > :50:45.avoid the showers and light winds to the south. Breezy to the north.

:50:46. > :50:51.Temperatures 16 to 19. So down on today and it will feel fresher.

:50:52. > :50:55.Thursday in the south you hold on to brighter conditions and we could see

:50:56. > :51:00.20 degrees. To the north it is turning unseted with low pressure

:51:01. > :51:03.bringing wet and windy weather too Northern Ireland and Scotland and

:51:04. > :51:07.that weather sinks further south as we head into Friday. So we have low

:51:08. > :51:12.pressure sitting to the north of the UK as we look to the end of the week

:51:13. > :51:16.and that brings us a breezy day on Friday with a mixture of sunshine

:51:17. > :51:21.and showers and perhaps some longer spells of rain. That theme will

:51:22. > :51:28.continue to bring us an unsettled weekend. Thank you.

:51:29. > :51:31.Most of us need a morning cuppa but what's in your mug today?

:51:32. > :51:35.Sales of traditional black tea are falling but there's something

:51:36. > :51:42.brewing in the market for fruit and herbal beverages.

:51:43. > :51:52.Sean's at a tea factory in North Yorkshire to tell us more.

:51:53. > :51:59.Where's the hairnet? No need for this in the tasting room. You have

:52:00. > :52:04.enough cups of tea. These are double strength. That is what the standard

:52:05. > :52:07.is for tasting tea. We are in Harrogate at Taylor's tea factory.

:52:08. > :52:13.We have a lot of Indian teas that have been shipped in. This is where

:52:14. > :52:17.the tasting's done, either beforehand, they're doing some

:52:18. > :52:23.blending, but there is a bit of tasting done after as well. A lot of

:52:24. > :52:28.that is done by the senior buyer and PHACer, suz -- taster, Suzy.

:52:29. > :52:35.Morning. First, the key question, how you make a cup of tea properly.

:52:36. > :52:42.I don't know if you heard about tea bag in the milk thing. Can we make

:52:43. > :52:46.two different ways. One with... Tea bag and milk in that one. Explain

:52:47. > :52:56.the difference. How would you make a cup of tea? I would always use

:52:57. > :53:01.freshly drawn and boiled water. Take the tea bag out before I put the

:53:02. > :53:05.milk in. A bit of water in. Get these on the go and we will have a

:53:06. > :53:11.look at actually what you normally do in your job instead of making a

:53:12. > :53:15.couple of cups of tea the wrong way around. When you see other people

:53:16. > :53:19.making tea, do you think, what are you doing, you're ruining my

:53:20. > :53:26.efforts? Yes, one thing I love about tea is about how people have quirky

:53:27. > :53:31.ways of making it. There are a few gold p rules however. What I always

:53:32. > :53:40.say is we do the work here to make sure your tea tastes great. Richard

:53:41. > :53:44.join us. The key thing is tasting. We have been talking about how the

:53:45. > :53:53.industry has been developing, how do you taste, test taste a cup of tea?

:53:54. > :53:57.This looking strong. Tea has has some volatile aromas. Everyone know

:53:58. > :54:02.what is they like about a cup of tea, but they're subtle. So taste we

:54:03. > :54:09.need a double spoon and we taste at double strength. You have 9,000

:54:10. > :54:14.taste buds on your tongue. Some people have more. You need an idea

:54:15. > :54:20.of the body and the weight. Give us a go and I will have a practice.

:54:21. > :54:25.Impressive. Normally we would spit it out. I will have a taste to see

:54:26. > :54:29.how well I I do it. Richard, when you go around and see all the

:54:30. > :54:35.different varnts that are being -- varieties that are being sold, have

:54:36. > :54:40.you noticed major changes, would you see things here you wouldn't see

:54:41. > :54:45.before? The choice of teas has expanded enormously in recent years.

:54:46. > :54:49.Excuse me... That is important for the future of the tea market,

:54:50. > :54:54.particularly in terms of encouraging younger people to drink tea more,

:54:55. > :54:59.because we found in our research younger people are keener on trying

:55:00. > :55:04.tivent flavours. -- different flavours. I will have one more go.

:55:05. > :55:11.What did you think of that? It was not too bad. Spray your palette.

:55:12. > :55:17.Don't you find you're at the point of choking at that point? No, ten

:55:18. > :55:26.years in, we do it every day and we taste up to a thousand teas. Let's

:55:27. > :55:31.look at the multi-coloured variety, I mentioned rhubarb and custard. We

:55:32. > :55:37.have a whole host. One thing I love about tea everything fits into the

:55:38. > :55:42.umbrella of tea and that means extraordinary flavours and cups of

:55:43. > :55:48.standard tea. We have exciting flavours like green tea with mint,

:55:49. > :55:56.sweet rhubarb and Mandarin. You say exciting, that seems a step for me.

:55:57. > :56:03.That is a normal cup of tea, how do you know from knowing what customers

:56:04. > :56:07.want to lychee and lime? We work hard with our research team and

:56:08. > :56:11.marketing to make sure we are on trend and assessing what consumers

:56:12. > :56:17.want. We can develop extraordinary and exciting teas for the future. We

:56:18. > :56:21.are going to go back to this tea. What do we have here. We have been

:56:22. > :56:31.three minutes, how can you tell the difference between what has been a

:56:32. > :56:40.good cup of tea? The tea with the milk and tea back looks not right.

:56:41. > :56:46.If I add the milk. You will hopefully. I mean. Night and day. I

:56:47. > :56:53.see people give that a squeeze... And eventually it will come around.

:56:54. > :57:01.Put the tea bag in the sink. I know what I would rather drink. I think

:57:02. > :57:06.we have learned a big lesson. Without the milk at the beginning.

:57:07. > :57:11.That is the key lesson. Sean, thank you for doing that on BBC Breakfast

:57:12. > :57:16.and thank you to Suzy, she is brilliant. You just give it... A

:57:17. > :57:21.senior tea buyer. Give is an extra stir. No, you don't. And it is the

:57:22. > :57:28.same colour as before. Tea bag on the the work... Sean go away! You're

:57:29. > :57:34.a heathen. This what is I do when you're not looking in the office.

:57:35. > :57:40.Thank you to the senior tea buyer. You're very boasty about your tea.

:57:41. > :57:45.I'm not. That is a good cup of tea. I will taste test your tea now. That

:57:46. > :57:50.is a good cup of tea. That is all right actually. I approve. My

:57:51. > :57:59.goodness, I feel I have won a minor battle. A bit of an aftertaste.

:58:00. > :58:02.Thank you. Now something much more calming.

:58:03. > :58:04.Whether it's the soothing sound of the waves or the sand

:58:05. > :58:07.between your toes, a trip to the seaside can lift the spirits.

:58:08. > :58:09.Now researchers are investigating whether so-called "blue health"

:58:10. > :58:12.could be used to help people living with anxiety, depression

:58:13. > :58:13.and loneliness - even if they can't get

:58:14. > :58:18.Breakfast's Graham Satchell has been looking into this and he's

:58:19. > :58:35.It is not the most beautiful weather. Yes but it doesn't matter.

:58:36. > :58:38.We are on Falmouth harbour coast. It is a stunning view and there is

:58:39. > :58:44.always something special about being next to the sea and by the coast.

:58:45. > :58:51.Mental health experts are calling this blue health and say being next

:58:52. > :58:57.to the sea does help people with depression, anxiety, loneliness and

:58:58. > :59:04.we have been following two projects, o on the water and one with

:59:05. > :59:06.researchers using virtual reality to take the sea to people who can't get

:59:07. > :59:11.to the coast themselves. We're off the coast of Falmouth

:59:12. > :59:16.on a boat owned by the charity, On board, a skipper,

:59:17. > :59:22.a therapist and two people, Susie and Ian, who are living

:59:23. > :59:26.with anxiety and depression. It's something very special

:59:27. > :59:30.about being on the water. It's such a calming place,

:59:31. > :59:32.you can leave whatever troubles you've got behind,

:59:33. > :59:35.and you can escape. There are group sessions on board

:59:36. > :59:39.and everyone works as part But the charity says the sea itself

:59:40. > :59:45.has a therapeutic quality. There's something going on,

:59:46. > :59:48.it's quite hard to define. But it's something to do

:59:49. > :59:51.with space, something to do Ian started feeling depressed

:59:52. > :59:57.and withdrawn after retiring There is something eternal

:59:58. > :00:02.about the sea, isn't I'm so lucky to be living

:00:03. > :00:09.in Cornwall, to have a pension So what about people who don't

:00:10. > :00:17.live near the coast? A team of researchers

:00:18. > :00:19.from the University of Exeter, a 360 virtual reality

:00:20. > :00:21.camera and a drone. They're trying to capture the power

:00:22. > :00:24.of the coast for people who can't There's quite a lot of evidence now

:00:25. > :00:31.to suggest that accessing and having exposure to natural spaces can be

:00:32. > :00:34.really beneficial for psychological well-being in terms

:00:35. > :00:35.of stress reduction, We're particularly trying to bring

:00:36. > :00:40.that therapeutic blue space in for people who can't

:00:41. > :00:42.access it themselves. So particularly, in our project,

:00:43. > :00:45.it's for people who are living in care homes who can't perhaps

:00:46. > :00:49.get outside so easily. Nicky's project is part of much

:00:50. > :00:51.larger European research Nicky is trying out her videos

:00:52. > :01:07.on a group of volunteers. Some of the pictures

:01:08. > :01:16.are calm and relaxing. Others, more interactive,

:01:17. > :01:22.stimulating. Well, I thought it was a really

:01:23. > :01:29.interesting experience. Anything, I think, connected

:01:30. > :01:41.with the sea or rivers, water, it certainly takes away some

:01:42. > :01:48.of the day-to-day drudgery of life. What we wanted to do was test

:01:49. > :01:51.whether these environments really were relaxing and stimulating,

:01:52. > :02:01.and today we found that actually, the way people reacted to them

:02:02. > :02:03.was the way we'd hope that they would, and so we will

:02:04. > :02:12.definitely take those videos forward Nicky will take her headsets

:02:13. > :02:16.into care homes next year to bring blue health to those who can't

:02:17. > :02:24.access it themselves. I had a go with one of those

:02:25. > :02:28.headsets, and it is amazing how quickly you immerse yourself in that

:02:29. > :02:32.blue environment and the impact it can have. Let's have a chat with

:02:33. > :02:38.Stephen Price Brown who is with us. Good morning. Good morning. You were

:02:39. > :02:42.a soldier posted to Afghanistan with the Grenadier Guards, and you saw

:02:43. > :02:47.some pretty horrid stuff that had an impact on you. Definitely. Just

:02:48. > :02:50.because of the role I had in my platoon, I ended up at the centre of

:02:51. > :02:56.some of the more challenging situations. And then when I left the

:02:57. > :03:04.forces, they stayed with me. I was unable to process those memories.

:03:05. > :03:08.Diagnosed with PTSD? In 2015. You set off on a tall ship from here in

:03:09. > :03:16.Falmouth, around the country the wrong way, if I can put it that way,

:03:17. > :03:24.to Liverpool, to put yourself back together, can I put it that way?

:03:25. > :03:26.Yes. We had a schooner, with 35 veterans of various regiments and

:03:27. > :03:34.various conditions, we jumped on a boat and sailed round the UK. It was

:03:35. > :03:38.incredible, being out on the sea in such an old boat as well, really

:03:39. > :03:43.strong, and just experiencing the island we all live on. And which we

:03:44. > :03:48.were all sworn to protect, and seeing it from the sea, which was

:03:49. > :03:57.quite good. Would you say that the sea does have a therapeutic quality?

:03:58. > :04:02.Absolutely. It is a little bit of a mystery, and Mr Ray I don't really

:04:03. > :04:06.want to solve. I like the idea that I can come back to the sea and live

:04:07. > :04:14.by the sea and enjoy this restorative magic that it has. It

:04:15. > :04:18.has a real impact on people's mental state. Thanks for chatting to us.

:04:19. > :04:24.We're going to speak to Philip, who is an author and professor at

:04:25. > :04:29.Southampton University. You've written extensively about the sea.

:04:30. > :04:35.What is it about this see end our relationship with it, what is its

:04:36. > :04:42.magic quality? It's where we came from, isn't it? When you were born,

:04:43. > :04:48.you had already experienced this see in your mother's belly. So it's in

:04:49. > :04:52.our DNA? Absolutely, and there is something that attracts us to the

:04:53. > :05:02.water. I swim in the water every day. Everyday? Right through the

:05:03. > :05:11.year. The reboot -- eight reboots you. We are all focused on the blue

:05:12. > :05:16.screen on our desk or in our hand, but there is a blue screen out

:05:17. > :05:22.there. Lord Byron, who stayed here in the 19th century, he swam here.

:05:23. > :05:28.I'm just curating a festival in Torbay, which is a celebration of

:05:29. > :05:34.the sea. Agatha Christie swam there. Oscar Wilde swam there. When people

:05:35. > :05:38.talk about while swimming, I think about Oscar. So do you think there

:05:39. > :05:46.is a life to this aid that can bring us alive? I do. Most of the life on

:05:47. > :05:52.the planet lives in this see. Most of our oxygen comes from the sea. We

:05:53. > :05:55.are an island race in Britain. Nowhere in Britain argue more than

:05:56. > :06:00.70 miles from the sea. These days, we are made to feel fearful of the

:06:01. > :06:13.sea. It is a good thing to be afraid. You die out there. Lets not

:06:14. > :06:17.do that! Banchory much, Philip. We're getting pretty wet here, but

:06:18. > :06:24.we have loved being year by the coast. I think Philip is right - it

:06:25. > :06:29.does bring you to live and restore your mental health. From Falmouth,

:06:30. > :06:33.back to you. Everyday, even if it's raining, is a

:06:34. > :06:37.good day by the sea. Graham, enjoy the rest of it. And good guests on

:06:38. > :06:41.the deckchair. You have been sending

:06:42. > :06:59.us your seaside shots. When we come back, we will be

:07:00. > :08:41.finding out how to make the perfect cup of tea and

:08:42. > :08:45.Whether you grabbed a quick tea and toast this morning or sat down

:08:46. > :08:55.for a proper cooked breakfast, the chances are that you won't know

:08:56. > :09:03.... Slight camera issue there. Don't panic!

:09:04. > :09:05.Marty Jopson is hoping to change that.

:09:06. > :09:08.He's just written a book on the science of food, tackling

:09:09. > :09:10.everything from the addictive ingredient in chocolate to

:09:11. > :09:37.Milk in tea before... ? All wrong. Tell us about eggs. We all like it

:09:42. > :09:51.apply science to the boiling of an egg, the egg white sets between 61

:09:52. > :09:58.and 65 Celsius, and the egg yolk will set between 66 and 70. If you

:09:59. > :10:05.have a water bath at 66 Celsius and you put an egg in it and leave it,

:10:06. > :10:10.it will gradually raise up to 66 Celsius, and all of the white

:10:11. > :10:14.Wilcock, and the egg yolk will still be completely runny. That is the way

:10:15. > :10:25.you like your eggs, it will be perfect every time. -- all of the

:10:26. > :10:29.white will cook. It is impractical, but that is the scientific way to

:10:30. > :10:33.cook eggs. You can tweak it by changing the temperature. If you

:10:34. > :10:40.like the egg more set, turn the water bath up to 68 Celsius and you

:10:41. > :10:46.will have a slightly set yolk. Is that how you cook your eggs? No.

:10:47. > :10:57.That is the scientific method to get the perfect one. Some people do do

:10:58. > :10:59.that, and you can use it for meat. Then you get the perfectly cooked

:11:00. > :11:05.piece of meat that is tender and just the way you want it. If you are

:11:06. > :11:17.on Masterchef, you would do that. Yes. Is their science behind the

:11:18. > :11:21.five second rule? There is, and people have studied this and

:11:22. > :11:25.received awards for it. The idea is that if you drop something on the

:11:26. > :11:28.floor, you can pick it up if it is under three seconds and still eat

:11:29. > :11:31.it. This is rubbish, complete nonsense. As soon as something

:11:32. > :11:35.touches the floor, if there are bacteria on the floor, it will now

:11:36. > :11:43.be on the food. Even if it is just... It takes no time at all.

:11:44. > :11:50.Clearly, it takes a fraction of a minute part of a second. The

:11:51. > :11:57.question is, how clean is your floor? Is your floor dangerous in

:11:58. > :12:03.terms of bacteria? If you are happy to drop a piece of toast on the

:12:04. > :12:09.floor and eat it, would you lick your floor? That is essentially what

:12:10. > :12:18.you're doing. You're not sure, are you? This surface is dry. Most

:12:19. > :12:25.bacteria, there will be less bacteria on that surface because it

:12:26. > :12:28.is dry. As long as the surface is dry, that is better. But it takes

:12:29. > :12:33.time for bacteria to drive. If you just mopped the floor, it is

:12:34. > :12:40.probably less good than if you mopped the floor two days ago. We

:12:41. > :12:45.were also talking about the best before date. Catherine says she has

:12:46. > :12:53.a bottle of soy sauce that went out of date in 1986. Claire says, the

:12:54. > :12:58.rule is, anything out of bed the day before goes in the bin. There are

:12:59. > :13:05.different rules and regulations around the world. We have best

:13:06. > :13:09.before and use by. Best before means, this product will be at its

:13:10. > :13:15.best before this date. And that is usually for dry things or tinned

:13:16. > :13:21.food, things that, quite frankly, aren't going to spoil because they

:13:22. > :13:25.have been preserved. Crackers or something like that. If you go after

:13:26. > :13:28.the best before, they will dry out and become stale, and they will be

:13:29. > :13:34.very nice, so why would you eat them as much use I is the one you have to

:13:35. > :13:38.watch out for, because manufacturers use that to say, this is the date at

:13:39. > :13:43.which we can guarantee you there will not be a dangerous number of

:13:44. > :13:52.bacteria in your food. So don't eat things after that date. Thank you.
