:00:00. > :00:08.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Naga

:00:09. > :00:14.More than one million people have been hit by Hurricane Irma

:00:15. > :00:18.The British Virgin Islands are the latest to report major

:00:19. > :00:25.The Governor declares a state of emergency.

:00:26. > :00:32.All of us have been afflicted by Hurricane Irma, some more mothers.

:00:33. > :00:33.Apart from the structural damage there have been reports of

:00:34. > :00:34.casualties and fatalities. It's predicted another 26 million

:00:35. > :00:38.people are at risk from the giant Major tourism areas in Cuba

:00:39. > :00:42.and Florida are being evacuated. The UK government promises ?32

:00:43. > :00:45.million to help with the clean-up operation and deploys troops

:00:46. > :01:01.and ships to the area. Also this morning: a warning of race

:01:02. > :01:12.bias in the British justice system. A government-backed report says

:01:13. > :01:14.prosecution against some offenders In the last few hours pilots working

:01:15. > :01:18.for Thomas Cook Airlines have It's the first industrial action

:01:19. > :01:22.by UK pilots in 40 years. I'll be asking the airline's boss

:01:23. > :01:25.and the pilot's union In sport, Big Ben is still striking,

:01:26. > :01:30.at Lord's at least. Ben Stokes takes six wickets

:01:31. > :01:36.on a crazy day at Lord's, with both the West Indies and then

:01:37. > :01:50.England suffering batting collapses, Hello from marvellous Morecambe.

:01:51. > :01:54.Once the daylight arrives, you will see that the breakfast chair is here

:01:55. > :01:59.for its final hurrah after the tour around it and's coasts. We will be

:02:00. > :02:02.looking back, Peter Thomson forward, to the future of our seaside towns.

:02:03. > :02:08.And Sarah has the weather. And unsettled day today with lots of

:02:09. > :02:14.lost three showers around. I will bring you all the details of the

:02:15. > :02:15.forecast here in the UK, as well as Hurricane Irma and where it is

:02:16. > :02:17.heading next, in about 15 minutes. The path of destruction brought

:02:18. > :02:22.by Hurricane Irma has now affected more than 1 million people

:02:23. > :02:24.across the Caribbean. At least 14 people have been killed,

:02:25. > :02:28.and a state of emergency has been declared on the British

:02:29. > :02:37.Virgin Islands. Overnight, the British Overseas

:02:38. > :02:40.Territory of Turks and Caicos has been pummelled by the storm,

:02:41. > :02:42.leaving tourists and residents The hurricane is projected to move

:02:43. > :02:47.across to the Bahamas and Cuba where mass evacuations are underway,

:02:48. > :02:56.before it reaches Florida This is what it is like to look out

:02:57. > :03:00.of your hotel room in the Turks and K course, knowing that one of the

:03:01. > :03:03.strongest storms in recent memory is coming your way. -- Caicos. We could

:03:04. > :03:11.start to hear the noise all around us. We are not even close to the

:03:12. > :03:17.worst bits yet, which is a bit scary. On the British Virgin Islands

:03:18. > :03:20.there have been an unknown number of deaths, with Communications severely

:03:21. > :03:25.disrupted, the governor issued this audio message declaring a state of

:03:26. > :03:30.emergency. All of us have been afflicted by Hurricane Irma, some

:03:31. > :03:32.more than others. Apart from the structural damage they have sadly

:03:33. > :03:37.been reports of casualties and fatalities. I am truly heartbroken

:03:38. > :03:42.by this news. My thoughts and prayers are with each and every one

:03:43. > :03:46.of you. At least one person is believed to have died on the British

:03:47. > :03:49.territory of Anguilla, where residents sheltered in the strongest

:03:50. > :03:54.parts of their homes for safety. We were in the bath with a mattress

:03:55. > :04:02.above us. That is how we managed to keep safe and dry. I think a lot of

:04:03. > :04:07.people were in a similar situation. We have seen houses with cars that

:04:08. > :04:12.have been just picked up and thrown through the house. Barbuda was one

:04:13. > :04:16.of the first items to be hit by Hurricane Irma. It is now less than

:04:17. > :04:21.48 hours away from the impact of a second hurricane. Hurricane Jose has

:04:22. > :04:27.sustained wind speeds of 120 mph and it looks likely to gain industry

:04:28. > :04:29.over the next day or two. -- gain in strength.

:04:30. > :04:32.Let's find out more about the impact the hurricane is having.

:04:33. > :04:36.We can now speak to Simon Cross, who moved to the British Virgin

:04:37. > :04:41.Islands two years ago from Essex, and is in Tortola this morning.

:04:42. > :04:53.Hello, good morning. Obviously it is the early hours of the morning at

:04:54. > :04:56.the moment. It is pretty quiet. You can hear the odd tractor in the

:04:57. > :05:02.distance, hopefully performing the function of clearing the roads.

:05:03. > :05:07.There is plenty of debris and trees and really the only method of

:05:08. > :05:11.getting around anyway here is by car, it is a mountainous island and

:05:12. > :05:16.you can't really do anything without a car. So it is important to us that

:05:17. > :05:21.the roads are clear and the place is safe. Earlier today when we manage

:05:22. > :05:27.to go to town to try to check up on things, it is not great, the

:05:28. > :05:38.properties are in a terrible state at the moment. Just hoping someone

:05:39. > :05:44.be done overnight. In truth, it feels like the islanders on its to

:05:45. > :05:48.be honest. The last thing we want is any sort of doubt whether, let alone

:05:49. > :05:53.a category three or whatever Hurricane Jose is supposed to be.

:05:54. > :05:56.Can you tell us what it was like when Hurricane Irma hit? We are

:05:57. > :05:59.seeing pictures of rulings devastated and we have heard

:06:00. > :06:04.horrific stories of people holding onto doors as the doors are being

:06:05. > :06:10.blown through. Can you tell us what it was like, the ferocity as it hit

:06:11. > :06:14.the buildings? Yeah, in our house it started, the major warning was when

:06:15. > :06:20.a skylight was blown off the roof. You could hear the wind blasting

:06:21. > :06:24.through the upstairs of the house, and at that point we thought maybe

:06:25. > :06:27.the roof was going to go. That was our main indicator to get downstairs

:06:28. > :06:32.into the basement, the most secure part of the building. We have a

:06:33. > :06:40.metal shutters that had been secured, and I had been pulling them

:06:41. > :06:43.around and had a lot of confidence they would protect the building, but

:06:44. > :06:48.the next thing you know they were ripped off the French doors which

:06:49. > :06:53.were project in us -- protecting us. Ten minutes later the other one went

:06:54. > :06:59.off the other set of doors. So it was completely exposed. There were

:07:00. > :07:01.missiles from three or debris or whatever, just penetrating through

:07:02. > :07:12.there, and fortunately nothing happened. They held firm. But when

:07:13. > :07:19.the eye came its sort of gave us a half-time to re-evaluate and see

:07:20. > :07:25.what we could do in the meantime. So myself and the family rushed

:07:26. > :07:28.upstairs and did our best to put some timber over the skylights to

:07:29. > :07:32.try to prevent the wind from getting under the roof. We just about

:07:33. > :07:36.managed to do that and complete that before the second half came, at

:07:37. > :07:45.which point we rushed back downstairs to our original position

:07:46. > :07:51.in the basement. The wind was scary, we all ended up of link together in

:07:52. > :07:56.the adjoining bathroom. -- huddling together. It had a small window but

:07:57. > :07:59.that was protected by metal shutters, so that was the safest

:08:00. > :08:03.spot. Fortunately the mahogany French doors managed to hold. The

:08:04. > :08:07.wind was like nothing I have ever known in my life. It was crazy. It

:08:08. > :08:11.sounds absolutely terrifying. Simon, we wish you and your family well.

:08:12. > :08:13.Thank you for the time you have taken to speak to us.

:08:14. > :08:16.The government has come in for criticism for its response

:08:17. > :08:18.to the disaster, with it labelled "inadequate" by islanders.

:08:19. > :08:21.Let's get more detail now from our news correspondent

:08:22. > :08:23.Andy Moore, who is outside the Foreign Office for

:08:24. > :08:33.What picture is emerging from what has been done, or maybe what has not

:08:34. > :08:37.been done? First of all, the government has earmarked ?32 million

:08:38. > :08:41.in disaster relief. Then there are the military assets which are either

:08:42. > :08:48.in the region or on their way. There is a royal Fleet auxiliary ship,

:08:49. > :08:51.Mounts Bay, which is off Anguilla. That has a helicopter on-board,

:08:52. > :08:56.earthmoving equipment, release supplies. Then we have the first

:08:57. > :09:04.element task group heading out from RAF rise Norton this morning. --

:09:05. > :09:09.Brize Norton. Apple engineers, Doctors, soldiers. Then we have a

:09:10. > :09:13.helicopter carrier on the way from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean.

:09:14. > :09:18.The critics are saying this is too little, too late, especially compare

:09:19. > :09:20.to the relief efforts mounted by France, the Netherlands and United

:09:21. > :09:31.States, which also have territories and the Caribbean. Andy, thank you.

:09:32. > :09:34.Young offenders from ethnic minority backgrounds will become the next

:09:35. > :09:37.generation of criminals unless the justice system is reformed,

:09:38. > :09:39.according to a review by David Lammy.

:09:40. > :09:40.The inquiry commissioned by the Government, makes

:09:41. > :09:44.These include allowing some prosecutions to be deferred,

:09:45. > :09:47.or even dropped, if suspects get treatment for issues such as drug

:09:48. > :09:55.Noel Williams was 11 years old when he first got involved in gangs. By

:09:56. > :09:59.the age of 13 he was imprisoned for robberies and drug dealing. I am in

:10:00. > :10:04.and out of the system. I was in there three times. Lots of lingos

:10:05. > :10:08.on, and there is a lack of prison staff, so they don't pick up on

:10:09. > :10:11.certain things. People are self harming. If they aren't cutting

:10:12. > :10:14.their arms they are trying to kill themselves. He has turned his life

:10:15. > :10:18.around, but he believes that race and ethnicity plays a part in how

:10:19. > :10:22.you are treated and punished within the criminal justice system. It is

:10:23. > :10:27.unjust, of course it is. If you look at the sentence as we get, they are

:10:28. > :10:31.longer, they are harsher. People are coming out not rehabilitated.

:10:32. > :10:34.Sometimes they are coming out and reoffending at an accelerated rate

:10:35. > :10:38.than their counterparts. The David Lammy review makes a number of key

:10:39. > :10:42.recommendations, such as removing identifying information about

:10:43. > :10:45.ethnicity when cases are passed from police to prosecutors, so that

:10:46. > :10:51.racial bias doesn't influence charging decisions. I am very

:10:52. > :10:55.worried about our prison system, where I do think that there are

:10:56. > :10:59.still prisons where it is clear there is overt discrimination going

:11:00. > :11:03.on, and some of the treatment is just unacceptable. It is one of the

:11:04. > :11:06.largest reviews of its kind, and highlights that radical reform is

:11:07. > :11:16.urgently needed to bring fairness to the justice system. And after seven

:11:17. > :11:18.o'clock we will be speaking to the report author, David Lammy.

:11:19. > :11:21.The government is accusing Labour of a "cynical" attempt to block

:11:22. > :11:26.The bill paves the way for leaving the European Union in March 2019.

:11:27. > :11:29.Labour and other opposition parties have promised to vote against it

:11:30. > :11:31.next week, insisting it gives sweeping powers to ministers

:11:32. > :11:35.Our political correspondent Chris Mason joins us from

:11:36. > :11:42.Chris, what can we expect from today?

:11:43. > :11:49.Good morning. They really are. We have seen a summer of disagreements

:11:50. > :11:54.between the government and Brussels. What we are now seeing is

:11:55. > :11:58.disagreement bubbling up here in Westminster between different groups

:11:59. > :12:02.of MPs, sometimes between the parties and sometimes within the

:12:03. > :12:06.parties, over the flavour of Brexit, if you like, that we should end up

:12:07. > :12:11.with, and how the whole process of delivering it should be scrutinised.

:12:12. > :12:15.Labour said that the government's plans amounted to an unprecedented

:12:16. > :12:22.power grab. Yesterday we were speaking about Henry VIII and those

:12:23. > :12:27.Henry VIII powers to stop sufficient scrutiny, as some see it, of the

:12:28. > :12:31.finer details. The government says that Labour are simply getting in

:12:32. > :12:34.the way and are picking away at a rule that has existed for many

:12:35. > :12:38.years, and was used for European legislation up until now anyway, in

:12:39. > :12:44.terms of turning it into UK law. As I say, you have little breakout of

:12:45. > :12:47.disagreement within parties, so yesterday, some Conservative MPs

:12:48. > :12:50.wrote a letter they were planning to give to a Sunday newspaper, which

:12:51. > :12:55.was leaked to the BBC, saying they didn't want to see the UK staying in

:12:56. > :12:58.the EU by stealth. Then there was a response to that by some other malt

:12:59. > :13:01.pro- European Conservatives, suggesting that letter was not

:13:02. > :13:04.particularly helpful in negotiations. So the politics is

:13:05. > :13:09.very much alive and well between the UK and Brussels, and now, once

:13:10. > :13:12.again, unsurprisingly, it is alive and well here at Westminster as

:13:13. > :13:18.well. The big vote comes up on Monday. I am sure we will talk about

:13:19. > :13:23.that on Monday. Chris, thank you. We are just getting news of an

:13:24. > :13:29.earthquake with a magnitude of 8.0 shaking southern Mexico. It is

:13:30. > :13:32.struck off the Pacific coast of the country, rustling buildings in

:13:33. > :13:35.Mexico City, which is hundreds of kilometres away. No reports so far

:13:36. > :13:36.of damage or casualties. The Nobel prize winner,

:13:37. > :13:38.Malala Yousafzai, has called on the leader of Myanamar,

:13:39. > :13:41.Aung San Suu Kyi, to protect the country's Rohingya

:13:42. > :13:43.Muslim minority. More than 160,000 Rohingyas have

:13:44. > :13:45.fled to Bangladesh since unrest Ms Suu Kyi has been widely

:13:46. > :13:49.criticised for failing to condemn A 13-year-old girl from Somerset

:13:50. > :13:56.whose organs were donated after her death has saved

:13:57. > :13:59.or transformed the lives of eight patients - a record

:14:00. > :14:02.for a single donor in the UK. Jemima Layzell collapsed

:14:03. > :14:05.with a brain aneurysm and died four Five of the patients who received

:14:06. > :14:11.life-saving transplants Jemima's story is part of an NHS

:14:12. > :14:22.campaign appealing for more donors. There are thousands of people

:14:23. > :14:28.waiting for a transplant. Three people a day die. If you would be

:14:29. > :14:32.willing to accept an organ you should be willing to donate an

:14:33. > :14:35.organ, and that is what we are asking people to consider, and make

:14:36. > :14:39.a decision that they will support organ donation. An amazing story.

:14:40. > :14:43.Absolutely incredible. And some comfort for her family, after losing

:14:44. > :14:49.her. And now Mike has the sport. Good morning. Reflecting on a crazy

:14:50. > :14:52.day at Lord's, 14 wickets fell under darkening skies. This test series

:14:53. > :14:56.between England and the West Indies has been such a rollercoaster, who

:14:57. > :15:01.knows what will happen in the remaining few days. Big Ben, Ben

:15:02. > :15:05.Stokes, he did the damage for England, but then England themselves

:15:06. > :15:07.suffered a batting collapse. Let's toast Ben Stokes, first of all,

:15:08. > :15:12.taking his career best tally. He helped dismiss the the Windies,

:15:13. > :15:16.for just 123 in their first innings, but poor batting from his team-mates

:15:17. > :15:19.means England have it all to do, There will be two new faces

:15:20. > :15:24.in the women's US Open final. Unseeded Sloane Stephens

:15:25. > :15:28.held her nerve to beat Venus Williams in three sets

:15:29. > :15:31.and sets up a final against fellow We've seen the last of players

:15:32. > :15:38.like Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain moving between Premier League clubs

:15:39. > :15:40.once the season starts. Clubs have voted to close next

:15:41. > :15:43.summer's transfer window It will close at 5pm

:15:44. > :15:46.on the Thursday evening Manchester United and Manchester

:15:47. > :15:50.City were among five clubs who voted Chris Froome has extended his lead

:15:51. > :16:00.over Vincenzo Nibali after stage 18 The Team Sky rider now leads

:16:01. > :16:05.by 1 minute, 37 seconds. There are two stages left before

:16:06. > :16:22.Sunday's parade into Madrid. More on that later and some papers

:16:23. > :16:23.in a moment. Will do that in a moment. Thanks, Mike.

:16:24. > :16:25.Here's Sarah with a look at this morning's weather.

:16:26. > :16:33.You're covering all sides of the Atlantic, we can't ignore what's

:16:34. > :16:41.going on with hurricane and also hurricane Jose behind it? -- Harry

:16:42. > :16:52.Kane Erma. It's not often we have three hurricanes. Hurricane catcher

:16:53. > :17:02.is sitting east of Mexico. Katie. Hurricane hoser... Here's the

:17:03. > :17:03.satellite image showing the well-defined eye as the storm goes

:17:04. > :17:11.north-west, passing across the Turks north-west, passing across the Turks

:17:12. > :17:16.Caicos Islands -- hurricane Jose. Still 165 mph winds, making it a

:17:17. > :17:22.strong category five. Looking at the forecast track, it's going to move

:17:23. > :17:27.further north-west in between Cuba and the Bahamas, again bringing

:17:28. > :17:31.heavy rain, up to half a metre of rain, catastrophic strong winds and

:17:32. > :17:35.a significant storm surge before it makes its way towards for that in

:17:36. > :17:39.time for the weekend. A very serious storm the other side of the

:17:40. > :17:44.Atlantic. Let's look at the forecast closer to home. Here's a picture we

:17:45. > :17:49.had taken by one of our Weather Watchers a few hours ago, the or

:17:50. > :17:55.Boriello is, a fantastic display last night and with clear spells

:17:56. > :18:04.many enjoyed the or borealis. For today it's an unsettled picture. It

:18:05. > :18:08.will feel breezy and windy with some showers. Low pressure dominating the

:18:09. > :18:12.weather and the winds will be Iraq telling around this area of low

:18:13. > :18:16.pressure and importing showers as we had through the day with a weather

:18:17. > :18:21.front in the southern part of the UK, more persistent rain at times.

:18:22. > :18:24.Here's how the day shapes up, sunny spells and scattered showers almost

:18:25. > :18:28.anywhere with heavier and more prolonged rainfall in parts of

:18:29. > :18:31.southern England but even further north some showers could bring

:18:32. > :18:36.thunder and lightning as well. Looking at this afternoon, plenty of

:18:37. > :18:41.showers rattling in across Scotland and Northern Ireland. To the east of

:18:42. > :18:45.higher ground you will see fewer showers but they will be slow-moving

:18:46. > :18:49.by the afternoon so there could be heavy and prolonged downpours. South

:18:50. > :18:54.across England and Wales you will see sunshine and heavy showers with

:18:55. > :18:57.more prolonged rainfall likely in central and southern England into

:18:58. > :19:02.the afternoon but some brighter skies Inbetweener showers and it

:19:03. > :19:11.will feel fairly cool, around 16-17. We stick with the showers overnight

:19:12. > :19:17.but some clear spells, as we start the weekend, temperatures around...

:19:18. > :19:23.Still windy towards the west. It looks like we will have a quiet

:19:24. > :19:26.quieter spell to stop the day on Sunday but things again staying

:19:27. > :19:29.unsettled with further rain -- to start the day.

:19:30. > :19:40.Them and Mike have joined us for a look at the papers. Some of the

:19:41. > :19:46.front pages -- Ben and Mike. The Sun are focusing on hurricane Erma. This

:19:47. > :19:55.is the number of Brits they think will be caught up. 30,000 people

:19:56. > :19:59.could be affected and we will get more on the latest in terms of the

:20:00. > :20:03.damage through the morning. We hope to speak to eyewitnesses and people

:20:04. > :20:09.from the islands affected. The Daily Star looking at a story of two

:20:10. > :20:14.daughters, two women, who may be among the victims of hurricane Erma.

:20:15. > :20:20.Claire Frank has said she has had no contact with her daughter, who is

:20:21. > :20:26.pregnant, and Asher as well, obviously very concerned. The front

:20:27. > :20:30.page of the times looking and Britain being criticised for

:20:31. > :20:35.delaying help. They promised ?32 million and they are sending a Royal

:20:36. > :20:37.Navy flagship with helicopters, Marines and engineers. The Daily

:20:38. > :20:42.Mail interested in the language being used between Brussels and

:20:43. > :20:48.David Davis personally. They are quoting Jean-Claude Juncker,

:20:49. > :20:54.suggesting the Brexit secretary was lazy and unstable, that's the quote

:20:55. > :20:58.that he's taken. The photo on most of the front pages is of Prince

:20:59. > :21:01.George, that is a very good representation of how most four

:21:02. > :21:05.-year-olds feel about starting school, slightly apprehensive but he

:21:06. > :21:09.held hands with his dad and the head of the lower school at Saint

:21:10. > :21:16.Thomases in Battersea, where he is beginning school. What have you got?

:21:17. > :21:21.A lot about Frankfurt defeating Paris in the EU bank battle. They

:21:22. > :21:25.are vying for a slice of the financial services market, up until

:21:26. > :21:30.now London has dominated. Questions about whether banks may move to if

:21:31. > :21:36.they do move. Paris has been vying for the top spot -- where the banks.

:21:37. > :21:40.Frankfurt is managing to do that, though. There are concerns about

:21:41. > :21:45.what that means for Germany's dominance as far as the use

:21:46. > :21:50.concerned. The story, we will deliver electric cars but what about

:21:51. > :21:54.the network. We spoke to the boss of Jaguar Land Rover, talking about the

:21:55. > :21:56.number of new carmakers coming up with electric vehicles but the

:21:57. > :22:01.question is where they will be charged. Did you shop in the Argos

:22:02. > :22:06.catalogue when you were younger? I browsed through it just for fun. To

:22:07. > :22:10.do your Christmas list for Father Christmas and you would circle

:22:11. > :22:15.things you wanted? I would fold the page is very neatly. Apparently the

:22:16. > :22:19.Argos catalogue could be going out of print, that's the story in the

:22:20. > :22:24.Mirror. We had the yellow Pages earlier in the week. They have said

:22:25. > :22:28.they are going to try it in some stores because some either use

:22:29. > :22:32.tablets or browse online. They said it is a trial at the moment but it

:22:33. > :22:38.could disappear in print if the trial is successful. The Argos

:22:39. > :22:41.catalogue, what's interesting, they have records of past catalogues at

:22:42. > :22:45.the British library because they are quite a record of our history. You

:22:46. > :22:50.can see what people were buying and if you think it was all clock radios

:22:51. > :22:56.and kettles and other things and they tell us a story of the time. We

:22:57. > :23:03.do really still buy kettles and toasters. The error, though. An

:23:04. > :23:08.alarm clock with a... A Wallace and Gromit alarm clock. The one that

:23:09. > :23:15.folded into three parts into a case. And Furbies as well. Sorry to

:23:16. > :23:20.interrupt, there's a brilliant ad that says all these things you can

:23:21. > :23:24.buy at stores like that, alarm clock radio, calculator, torch, you can

:23:25. > :23:34.buy them as individual items, now they are all in a smart phone. It

:23:35. > :23:37.just ruins it. That's no fun, is it? Turkeyturkeys voting for Christmas

:23:38. > :23:44.is the decision by the Premier League too closed the transfer

:23:45. > :23:51.window before the transfer -- season starts. The clubs opposed to this

:23:52. > :23:57.change -- to close. In Europe it stays the same. Barcelona could come

:23:58. > :24:01.in and cherry pick. Can you backtrack, what is the problem? They

:24:02. > :24:05.voted to close the transfer window before the season starts next summer

:24:06. > :24:10.so there's no distractions but that doesn't apply to the rest of Europe

:24:11. > :24:13.so European clubs can come in and by the Premier League players from

:24:14. > :24:18.Premier League clubs and then you've lost your top striker and you can't

:24:19. > :24:22.replace him. The Spanish deadline is later than ours anyway. This time it

:24:23. > :24:27.will be by a month. They need to be better organised. If you haven't

:24:28. > :24:32.switched on to TMS for the final game between the West Indies and

:24:33. > :24:36.England, the final commentary from Henry Blofeld, he was talking about

:24:37. > :24:41.sausages, cranes and pigeons, it reminded us of some of his greats,

:24:42. > :24:45.he is hanging up the Mike. Flintoff starts his run, his shadow behind

:24:46. > :24:50.him, where else would it be. What was the sausage reference? A butcher

:24:51. > :24:53.sent him the sausages but he said that's rather tactless of the

:24:54. > :24:57.Father, I don't know the background of that bit. Sausages, pigeons and

:24:58. > :25:09.cranes. More than half a million people have

:25:10. > :25:12.been ordered to leave their homes in Florida before hurricane Erma hits

:25:13. > :25:18.the US on Sunday and many tourists are stranded at Miami airport with

:25:19. > :25:21.no seats left to come home. Tens of thousands have been told to evacuate

:25:22. > :25:27.their homes on the northern coast of Cuba. Red cross is estimating up to

:25:28. > :25:35.26 million people in total could be exposed to the destructive winds and

:25:36. > :25:43.heavy rains. The BBC's will grant is in Havana.

:25:44. > :25:46.Cubans have spent the past few days watching as nearby islands

:25:47. > :25:49.were devastated by this vast storm as it ploughed

:25:50. > :25:52.Now they know their country's next on its path.

:25:53. > :25:54.The pace of preparations has picked up significantly,

:25:55. > :25:57.with residents on the eastern end of the island taking steps

:25:58. > :26:00.to secure their homes and stock up on basic goods.

:26:01. > :26:03.Fresh drinking water and fuel for generators top of their lists.

:26:04. > :26:06.Cuba is now also a hugely popular tourist destination and the island

:26:07. > :26:09.was busy with holidaymakers when Irma began to form.

:26:10. > :26:22.Now many of those visitors find themselves trapped in a situation

:26:23. > :26:24.they never expected and have never experienced before.

:26:25. > :26:26.Countries with large numbers of citizens in Cuba

:26:27. > :26:29.are co-ordinating with the Cuban authorities to get them out.

:26:30. > :26:31.Assuming the hurricane doesn't change course at the last-minute,

:26:32. > :26:33.it's expected to barrel around the Cuban coastline,

:26:34. > :26:37.dumping large amounts of rain on the island as it passes.

:26:38. > :26:39.Then it should begin to move up to the United States

:26:40. > :26:44.There a state of emergency is already in place and even the man

:26:45. > :26:46.who approved it is having to take measures against Irma.

:26:49. > :26:52.Many have tried to leave before it makes landfall.

:26:53. > :26:56.I just came here for a couple of weeks, I'm supposed to fly out

:26:57. > :27:02.There's some for Saturday but pretty much they're going to be cancelled

:27:03. > :27:05.so I'm just going to stay in, get waters, canned foods,

:27:06. > :27:09.snack bars, enough for, like, a week or two and pray and hope

:27:10. > :27:14.I don't know, I'm going to go to the airport and just figure out

:27:15. > :27:18.People across the Caribbean are used to dealing with hurricanes,

:27:19. > :27:20.they're an annual part of life in this region,

:27:21. > :27:23.however many have never seen anything quite like Hurricane Irma

:27:24. > :27:25.in their lifetime and fear the worst.

:27:26. > :27:28.Cubans are well aware these are the final few hours of calm

:27:29. > :27:30.before the devastating force of Irma reaches the island,

:27:31. > :27:33.and having seen exactly what it's capable of elsewhere

:27:34. > :27:37.in the Caribbean, many are just hoping the storm is a little kinder

:27:38. > :27:57.Throughout the morning we will be checking in on various locations

:27:58. > :28:01.where they think the storm is hitting, we will keep you're up to

:28:02. > :28:03.date with any developments and Sarah will keep you across how it is

:28:04. > :28:04.travelling as well. Time now to get the news,

:28:05. > :28:05.travel and weather where you are. I'm back with the latest

:28:06. > :31:27.from the BBC London newsroom Plenty more on our website

:31:28. > :31:31.at the usual address. Hello, this is Breakfast,

:31:32. > :31:33.with Charlie Stayt and Naga We'll have the latest news

:31:34. > :31:36.and sport in just a moment. Coming up, pilots for

:31:37. > :31:39.Thomas Cook Airlines are on strike We'll find out what that means

:31:40. > :31:50.for passengers at home and abroad. Rick Astley joins us ahead

:31:51. > :31:56.of performing at a benefit concert for those affected by May's

:31:57. > :32:00.Manchester Arena terror attack. We've shed a tear with her

:32:01. > :32:03.as she reunited siblings on Long Lost Family,

:32:04. > :32:06.and now Davina McCall is tackling the issues of mental health,

:32:07. > :32:08.stress and parenting - she'll be on the sofa

:32:09. > :32:14.to tell us why. But now a summary of this

:32:15. > :32:26.morning's main news. 1.2 million people have now been

:32:27. > :32:29.affected by the destructive trail of Hurricane Irma, according to the

:32:30. > :32:36.international Red Cross. Millions more are in danger, as the storm

:32:37. > :32:39.progressed into Haiti and the Turks and Caicos Islands overnight. The

:32:40. > :32:42.British Virgin Islands are the latest report damage and deaths,

:32:43. > :32:47.where the governor has declared a state of emergency. It is predicted

:32:48. > :32:51.another 26 million people are at risk from the storm in the coming

:32:52. > :32:54.days, with major areas in Florida and Cuba being evacuated. Foreign

:32:55. > :33:02.Secretary Boris Johnson says the U.K.'s acting swiftly in response

:33:03. > :33:06.the devastation. The Royal Navy ship the RFA Mounts Bay has arrived in

:33:07. > :33:10.the region, and a second ship is en route. We can now speak to Fergus

:33:11. > :33:13.Thomas, a human caring adviser working with the Caribbean disaster

:33:14. > :33:19.emergency management agency, and he is in Antigua this morning. Thank

:33:20. > :33:23.you for your time. Could you give us your summary of how the Caribbean

:33:24. > :33:34.and those areas you are looking to have infected? It has been a really

:33:35. > :33:37.split story. Many islands were virtually untouched. This is the

:33:38. > :33:43.biggest storm to hit the Caribbean since the beginning of storm is

:33:44. > :33:48.being recorded, so this is enormous. Unfortunately, as you know, some of

:33:49. > :33:53.the islands on the Northern leeward side have been really badly hit,

:33:54. > :33:56.like Anguilla, Barbuda, and as far as we know, the British Virgin

:33:57. > :34:02.Islands have also been really badly hit. There have been committed

:34:03. > :34:07.issues of those places. -- communication issues in those

:34:08. > :34:11.places. We are hoping to be on the ground in the British Virgin Islands

:34:12. > :34:15.tomorrow morning. The ship, the Mounts Bay, was in Anguilla this

:34:16. > :34:18.morning and delivered the first assistance. They will be moving to

:34:19. > :34:24.the British Virgin Islands to get a better picture of the needs there.

:34:25. > :34:30.So I think we have got our systems... (INAUDIBLE). We should be

:34:31. > :34:34.able to make clear decisions about how to best assist in the coming

:34:35. > :34:39.hours and days. Yes, obviously there are some immediate problems to be

:34:40. > :34:42.communications issues, that would be one of the big ones, but also

:34:43. > :34:53.accessing some of these places initially? Exactly. What you have is

:34:54. > :34:58.atolls, these communities are often not very big. There are some islands

:34:59. > :35:05.with only a few thousand people. They are incredibly difficult to get

:35:06. > :35:14.to, similar to our response in the Philippines, in 2014. Logistically,

:35:15. > :35:18.that was very difficult, we had to send planes out on the first

:35:19. > :35:25.assessment. That is why working with the military air assets is really

:35:26. > :35:32.important. It is a good example of how the Ministry of Defence and the

:35:33. > :35:36.Foreign Office... (INAUDIBLE). Fergus, thank you very much for your

:35:37. > :35:40.time this morning. That was Fergus Thomas speaking to us, a human

:35:41. > :35:45.caring adviser speaking to us from Antigua. Apologies for the

:35:46. > :35:48.communications problem there, he was its planning that is one of the

:35:49. > :35:52.issues they are facing. We will be speaking to some of the other people

:35:53. > :35:54.who have seen first hand the damage from hurricane later in the

:35:55. > :35:55.programme. Young offenders from ethnic minority

:35:56. > :35:58.backgrounds will become "the next generation" of adult criminals

:35:59. > :36:00.unless the justice system is reformed, according to a review

:36:01. > :36:03.led by the MP David Lammy. The report makes more than 30

:36:04. > :36:06.recommendations including allowing some prosecutions to be deferred

:36:07. > :36:09.or even dropped if suspects get treatment for issues such as drug

:36:10. > :36:23.or alcohol problems. What struck me about the report,

:36:24. > :36:28.two, was the reality that a very large numbers of British people,

:36:29. > :36:32.from our black and ethnic minority communities, lack confidence in the

:36:33. > :36:35.criminal justice system. No minister, no government of any

:36:36. > :36:40.political colour, can be happy with that state of affairs. We need to

:36:41. > :36:44.address that Roblin. David Lammy's recommendations offer a possible

:36:45. > :36:45.route for doing some of that, and we will be responding in details of

:36:46. > :36:49.every item in his report. An earthquake with a magnitude

:36:50. > :36:52.of eight has shaken southern Mexico. The quake struck just off

:36:53. > :36:55.the Pacific coast of the country, rattling buildings in Mexico City

:36:56. > :36:58.hundreds of kilometres away. There are no reports so far of any

:36:59. > :37:07.major damage or casualties. The government is accusing Labour

:37:08. > :37:10.of a "cynical" attempt to block The bill paves the way for leaving

:37:11. > :37:14.the European Union in March 2019. Labour and other opposition parties

:37:15. > :37:17.have promised to vote against it next week insisting it gives

:37:18. > :37:20.sweeping powers to ministers The Brexit secretary David Davis

:37:25. > :37:27.or destroy" the process A 13-year-old girl from Somerset,

:37:28. > :37:34.whose organs were donated after her death, has saved

:37:35. > :37:37.or transformed the lives That's a record for

:37:38. > :37:47.a single donor in the UK. Jemima Layzell collapsed

:37:48. > :37:50.with a brain aneurysm and died four Five of the patients who received

:37:51. > :37:54.life-saving transplants Jemima's story is part of an NHS

:37:55. > :38:09.campaign appealing for more donors. Time to talk about sport with Mike.

:38:10. > :38:16.Good morning. The cricket is going well? It is exciting. It went very

:38:17. > :38:20.well for the Ben, striking again in London, but at Lord's. He took six

:38:21. > :38:24.wickets. England really up against it against this West Indies team

:38:25. > :38:27.which they were supposed to thrash in this series. The West Indies now

:38:28. > :38:28.have the initiative in the deciding test.

:38:29. > :38:31.England's Ben Stokes took a career best 6 wickets for just 22 runs

:38:32. > :38:35.on the first day of the third and deciding test against

:38:36. > :38:39.He took apart the Windies middle order, restricting them to a total

:38:40. > :38:41.of 123, but poor batting from his team-mates has

:38:42. > :39:00.Obviously we still have to score runs to try to get ahead, but I

:39:01. > :39:05.think it will be one of those wickets where they will be that

:39:06. > :39:09.period of ways and Mrs and not being able to score too much. If we can

:39:10. > :39:10.get up to their score, and get past it, we will fancy ourselves.

:39:11. > :39:13.There will be two new faces in the women's US Open final.

:39:14. > :39:16.Unseeded Sloane Stephens held her nerve overnight to beat

:39:17. > :39:18.Venus Williams in three sets in New York.

:39:19. > :39:21.And waiting for her in the final will be fellow American Madison

:39:22. > :39:30.She beat Coco Vandeweghe in just over an hour in straight sets.

:39:31. > :39:36.I wasn't playing well, just wasn't playing well. There were moments

:39:37. > :39:41.when you have to dig deep and figure out how to get the ball on the court

:39:42. > :39:45.and have a big name. I can't be tentative in figuring out how to get

:39:46. > :39:50.that all in. She played great defence. I haven't played her in a

:39:51. > :39:55.long time, clearly she has seen me playing many, many times, but I

:39:56. > :39:59.haven't seen her play as much. I'm super happy to be in a Grand Slam

:40:00. > :40:02.final, and to do it here, obviously my home slam, it is even more

:40:03. > :40:07.special. I think this is what every player dreams about. And

:40:08. > :40:12.unfortunately, fortunately but unfortunately, I had to play Venus.

:40:13. > :40:15.But having four Americans in the semifinals, I think that says able

:40:16. > :40:18.to about American tennis and where we are right now.

:40:19. > :40:22.And waiting for her in the final will be fellow American Madison

:40:23. > :40:29.She beat Coco Vandeweghe in just over an hour in straight sets.

:40:30. > :40:32.We've seen the last of players like Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain moving

:40:33. > :40:34.between Premier League clubs once the season starts.

:40:35. > :40:36.Clubs have voted to close next summer's transfer window

:40:37. > :40:43.It will close at 5:00 on the Thursday evening

:40:44. > :40:49.Manchester United and Manchester City were among five clubs who voted

:40:50. > :40:53.The window overseas will remain the same, so players

:40:54. > :40:59.could still leave their clubs after the deadline in England closes.

:41:00. > :41:01.Everton manager Ronald Koeman said he is "very disappointed"

:41:02. > :41:04.at Wayne Rooney's drink-driving charge and the player will be "dealt

:41:05. > :41:08.with internally at the appropriate time."

:41:09. > :41:11.Rooney is currently on bail ahead of a hearing on September 18th.

:41:12. > :41:14.Koeman also confirmed that the former England captain

:41:15. > :41:20.will play for Everton against Tottenham on Saturday.

:41:21. > :41:31.I am very disappointed that this situation regarding Wayne Rooney. We

:41:32. > :41:36.have spoken, that was last Tuesday, and the chairman, Bill Kenwright,

:41:37. > :41:46.spoke also to wane about this situation. -- Wayne. In line with

:41:47. > :41:47.any disciplinary matter, this will be dealt with internally by the

:41:48. > :41:48.club. Britain's Chris Froome has

:41:51. > :41:55.inside the final mile of stage eighteen to claw back twenty seconds

:41:56. > :41:58.on his nearest rival Vincenzo He now leads the Italian by more

:41:59. > :42:10.than a minute and a half. Meanwhile, things aren't

:42:11. > :42:12.going so well on the Tour of Britain Geraint Thomas could only finish

:42:13. > :42:16.eighth on the 10-mile individual That leaves him ninth overall,

:42:17. > :42:22.19 seconds behind Lars Boom, who won the stage to take

:42:23. > :42:35.the overall lead from Sky's Elia That is just about it. But how about

:42:36. > :42:39.this? He has walked away unscathed from motorbike crashes at over 100

:42:40. > :42:48.miles an hour, we are talking about Cal Critchlow, written's leading

:42:49. > :42:51.motor GP rider. -- Britain's leading motor GP rider. Now he is in doubt

:42:52. > :42:55.this weekend because of a dangerous piece of cheese. He was cutting

:42:56. > :43:01.palms and cheese. He says it is a very dangerous activity. He says the

:43:02. > :43:05.cheese was too hard. So he has had surgery on his finger. Of course,

:43:06. > :43:12.that is pretty vital when you are riding a motorbike. So the night has

:43:13. > :43:15.slipped? Yeah. It reminds me of other bizarre sporting injuries, so

:43:16. > :43:19.if you have any, get in touch. There was Dave present, who dropped a

:43:20. > :43:31.bottle of cream on his foot, and broke his toe. I had a friend who

:43:32. > :43:35.broke his arm playing sabutio. There are many more bizarre ones which I

:43:36. > :43:43.will keep coming. Use vegetable peel, that is my tip for Parmesan

:43:44. > :43:48.cheese. Somebody put his back out, typing a letter. Anything can

:43:49. > :43:49.happen. Dangerous business, being in the kitchen ahead of sporting

:43:50. > :43:52.events. The first strike by UK pilots

:43:53. > :43:55.in 40 years has started Thomas Cook Airline pilots

:43:56. > :43:58.are unhappy over pay. Yes, the 12-hour strike started

:44:28. > :44:38.Association, or Balpa. Good morning, Brian. Just explain to

:44:39. > :44:43.us, if you will, what is it you are calling for?

:44:44. > :44:49.We have been in pain negotiations with Thomas Cook since the start of

:44:50. > :44:53.this year and we are asking for a substantial playwright in excess of

:44:54. > :44:57.inflation -- pay negotiations. We want to catch up with past losses

:44:58. > :45:01.were Thomas Cook pilots have fallen behind other pilots in the industry

:45:02. > :45:04.and we're asking for better arrangements when Thomas Cook move

:45:05. > :45:09.pilots around between flights. What the company have offered is a 4% pay

:45:10. > :45:14.rise over two years, which just isn't good enough. We've had many

:45:15. > :45:21.days of discussions at ACAS. Unfortunately the company instead

:45:22. > :45:24.chose to take us to court last week, so we lost a bit of potential

:45:25. > :45:29.negotiating time and that's why we've ended up on strike today. We

:45:30. > :45:33.regret the disruption to passengers but we think we've pitched this

:45:34. > :45:39.action at a very responsible level. Why is 4% over two years not good

:45:40. > :45:44.enough? I've just looked at the latest figures, wages are increasing

:45:45. > :45:49.foremost by 2.1%. If you work in the public sector your pay doesn't go up

:45:50. > :45:55.1%. Inflation is just over 2%. You're getting 4% over two years,

:45:56. > :46:01.why isn't that enough? Because 4% over two years is a real terms pay

:46:02. > :46:04.cut of at least 2%. We're not going to tolerate bad for our members.

:46:05. > :46:09.Thomas Cook pilots have fallen behind other similar pilots in the

:46:10. > :46:14.industry -- tolerate that. They want to recover some of that ground. That

:46:15. > :46:20.is not unreasonable. Thomas Cook made profit of ?172 million, they

:46:21. > :46:24.can afford a decent pilot pay rise. Will they get much Abadi from your

:46:25. > :46:31.passengers? It's a tough time for airlines. -- much sympathy. Airlines

:46:32. > :46:35.are struggling with the terrorist threat and volatile oil prices and

:46:36. > :46:39.people are feeling more squeezed so they aren't travelling as much and

:46:40. > :46:45.there is the uncertainty around Brexit. All airlines are saying we

:46:46. > :46:50.have to cut costs, why can't Thomas Cook do that as far as staffing is

:46:51. > :46:55.concerned? We are happy for them to cut costs and be more efficient and

:46:56. > :46:59.offer brilliant holidays at a good price but that doesn't mean pilots

:47:00. > :47:04.have to suffer real terms pay cuts. We can do all the things we need, we

:47:05. > :47:08.can come to a reasonable deal for the pilots and we can get all those

:47:09. > :47:14.customers and those passengers flying to their holidays. That's why

:47:15. > :47:18.we pitched today's action at a very responsible level. We've now... I

:47:19. > :47:22.can report we've now agreed five days of talks at ACAS over the next

:47:23. > :47:27.two weeks and we hope that will result in a better offer coming

:47:28. > :47:34.along the table. Thanks, the general secretary of the pilots Association.

:47:35. > :47:38.Were going to speak to the chief executive of Thomas Cook airlines in

:47:39. > :47:41.an hour so we will put some of those thoughts to him and we've had a

:47:42. > :47:44.statement from Thomas Cook, apologising for any disruption to

:47:45. > :47:48.the passengers but they are hoping to operate all flights scheduled

:47:49. > :47:53.today but some of the times may have changed so it is worth checking if

:47:54. > :47:55.you are due to fly with Thomas Cook before 3pm today. More from me after

:47:56. > :47:57.7am. Here's Sarah with a look

:47:58. > :48:08.at this morning's weather. Good morning, Charlie and Naga. I

:48:09. > :48:12.will start with a picture sent in by a Weather Watcher of the or

:48:13. > :48:17.Borealis. A fantastic display last night of the Northern Lights large

:48:18. > :48:21.down to a large solar flare. Beautiful scenes, clear skies and

:48:22. > :48:25.clear spells through the day but plenty of showers around. That

:48:26. > :48:29.really sums up the day, very changeable. Sunny spells, heavy

:48:30. > :48:33.showers and for some it will feel quite breezy so low pressure

:48:34. > :48:36.dominating the weather. At the moment it is sitting to the

:48:37. > :48:40.north-west so the winds will be rattling around the area of low

:48:41. > :48:44.pressure through the day, drawing in the showers and in the south maybe

:48:45. > :48:49.longer spells rain later on so showers could be almost anywhere.

:48:50. > :48:52.Some drier interludes, especially in eastern Scotland and parts of

:48:53. > :48:55.north-east England through the morning but showers become more

:48:56. > :49:00.widespread through the afternoon with heavy rain in the south. In

:49:01. > :49:03.eastern Scotland in the shelter you should see some brighter spells but

:49:04. > :49:07.these showers will become heavier and more persistent at times during

:49:08. > :49:11.the afternoon, slow-moving with the odd rumble of thunder and similar in

:49:12. > :49:15.Northern Ireland so heavy showers, you could see thunderstorms here and

:49:16. > :49:20.there. Of the south in northern England and Wales, is sunny spells

:49:21. > :49:26.and blustery showers, especially the further west you are and in southern

:49:27. > :49:29.England the rain is heavier, the odd rumble of thunder likely here,

:49:30. > :49:34.brighter skies developing later in the Southend West but the wind

:49:35. > :49:39.arrows continue on the map, blowing showers further east this evening

:49:40. > :49:43.and overnight. For many, clear skills tonight and chilly in the

:49:44. > :49:49.early hours of Saturday. -- clear skies. Cold in the countryside,

:49:50. > :49:53.especially in sheltered eastern areas. Through the day tomorrow it

:49:54. > :49:57.is the east and south that start with the best of the sunshine.

:49:58. > :50:01.Already showers in the north and west. Through the day these showers

:50:02. > :50:05.become more widespread so developing across much of the country. A day of

:50:06. > :50:08.sunny intervals and scattered blustery showers and temperatures

:50:09. > :50:14.not doing too badly for the time of year, 15 to 19 degrees. As we work

:50:15. > :50:17.through into the second half of the weekend, a small ridge of high

:50:18. > :50:20.pressure overnight and into the first half of Sunday and the next

:50:21. > :50:25.weather front approaches from the Atlantic. With that ridge of high

:50:26. > :50:30.pressure, for many Sunday will start on a dry and quieter note. Some

:50:31. > :50:34.sunshine in eastern parts in particular and later in the day the

:50:35. > :50:38.wind picks up and this wet and windy weather starts to move from west to

:50:39. > :50:43.east across the country. Saturday will be the better day in terms of

:50:44. > :50:44.sunny spells. Things turning wetter and windier in the Western during

:50:45. > :50:49.Sunday. Sarah, thanks very much. The smell of the sea,

:50:50. > :50:52.the taste of fish and chips, and breathtaking views,

:50:53. > :50:54.there's always been something What takes you back, deckchairs,

:50:55. > :51:01.many of us to the coast. What takes you back, deckchairs,

:51:02. > :51:07.seagulls, ice creams? No. You will never guess it. A frisbee, a bucket

:51:08. > :51:14.and spade? And old bicycle you can't ride on the sand. I give up. Walking

:51:15. > :51:19.through the sea and feeling there was squelchy oil between my feet. It

:51:20. > :51:26.felt awful so I never went into the sea for years. Where were you?

:51:27. > :51:29.Hastings. Was it oil? It wasn't but it felt like it so I didn't go in

:51:30. > :51:31.the sea for years. And it turns out those happy

:51:32. > :51:34.memories can be good for us. As part of our Coastal Britain

:51:35. > :51:37.series, Breakfast's John Maguire is taking a trip down memory lane

:51:38. > :51:45.in Morecambe for us this morning. I'm sure you have some lovely

:51:46. > :51:50.memories? I do. I'm worried about you, shall we build you in for a

:51:51. > :51:54.therapy session? Sounds terrible. Many of us have wonderful memories,

:51:55. > :51:59.you mention things like the smell of fish and chips, the call of the

:52:00. > :52:05.goals, the sound of the waves on the beach and the feel of the sound, as

:52:06. > :52:09.long as it not too oily, there's something about the seaside and

:52:10. > :52:12.we've heard it all week in our series, something that excites

:52:13. > :52:16.people and draws them back to the coast every time. We often say

:52:17. > :52:21.nostalgia isn't what it used to be but can it be useful looking back

:52:22. > :52:26.and can we take lessons from the past to take them forward to the

:52:27. > :52:31.future? We brought Daphne with us, I thought it was a lot bigger on TV

:52:32. > :52:35.when I've been seeing it in the next couple of days but I'm surprised how

:52:36. > :52:43.small it is. She is here, as is the team, looking back but also forward.

:52:44. > :52:51.The past, not a different country but a British seaside town.

:52:52. > :52:57.Morecambe in fact. It's 1901 and just look at how busy it is. This

:52:58. > :53:01.footage has recently been released online by the British film

:53:02. > :53:05.Institute, one of 160 films from around the British coastline. It

:53:06. > :53:11.shows hordes of holidaymakers and daytrippers. These are the early

:53:12. > :53:16.days of mass tourism. Jacqueline and Derek Osborne have made the long

:53:17. > :53:21.drive north from their home in Essex each summer for the past 30 years.

:53:22. > :53:25.The feeling we had then, it wasn't brilliant, was it? It wasn't. It

:53:26. > :53:30.always looked like it had seen better days but in subsequent years

:53:31. > :53:34.we have come it has improved a lot. Certainly over the last ten to 15

:53:35. > :53:39.years it's improved. You quite like the shopping? I love the shopping, I

:53:40. > :53:45.like the scenery as well. The lakes I think our lovely. Your sister,

:53:46. > :53:49.Doris, she is 90 now and she likes the seafront because it's lovely and

:53:50. > :53:54.flat and it's easy for me to push the wheelchair along. Looking back

:53:55. > :53:59.when Lee and Andrew used to come along the rock pools with us on

:54:00. > :54:03.holiday, he like to climb on the rock pools and falling over and

:54:04. > :54:10.cutting himself badly that time, took him to hospital. And what is it

:54:11. > :54:14.about the seaside that draws people back, that evokes such happy

:54:15. > :54:17.memories? Researchers at the university of Central Lancashire are

:54:18. > :54:22.trying to find out. Now we're suddenly starting to get data in

:54:23. > :54:25.that nostalgia is good for us, it makes us feel better, it's a great

:54:26. > :54:29.antidote to the stress of everyday life so we want to say to what

:54:30. > :54:33.extent it does impact upon peoples well-being and potentially to their

:54:34. > :54:37.health. The seaside is a perfect place for that because the seaside

:54:38. > :54:45.is something that doesn't change and can trigger nostalgic memories. Last

:54:46. > :54:48.weekend, Morecambe was packed to the gunwales with around 40,000 people

:54:49. > :54:56.here for the vintage by the sea festival. A modern take on an old

:54:57. > :55:02.theme. The designer Wayne Hemingway, born and bred here, is one of the

:55:03. > :55:06.organisers. There's a massive movement for British people

:55:07. > :55:09.especially the young to rediscover the British seaside, it's four of

:55:10. > :55:13.them forward thinking, people want to come here and it to be busy. All

:55:14. > :55:18.round the country there are coastal events springing up. Nostalgia is

:55:19. > :55:22.part of it because it brings the intergenerational thing and to bring

:55:23. > :55:28.that kind of busy feeling back to a coastal town, we can start to bring

:55:29. > :55:32.the coastline back again. So the big challenge for many hours seaside

:55:33. > :55:34.towns is to find a way to celebrate and conserve the best of the past

:55:35. > :55:42.while also looking to the future. Morecambe Bay looking after us this

:55:43. > :55:46.morning, wonderful vistas here although we've had some wind and

:55:47. > :55:51.rain but it has sorted itself out. We can speak to Doctor David from

:55:52. > :55:56.the university of Central Lancashire, an expert in tourism. It

:55:57. > :56:01.is that magic silver bullet, isn't it? How do we revitalise and fall in

:56:02. > :56:06.love with our seaside towns again? We need to repackage the traditions

:56:07. > :56:11.of the seaside town, Seaside Heritage, places like the Midland

:56:12. > :56:15.hotel behind us, keep those traditions and heritage but make

:56:16. > :56:20.them fit for the 21st-century. It is a case of being influenced by the

:56:21. > :56:25.past and developing that and making it fit for the consumers. Who does

:56:26. > :56:29.that, where do the ideas come from? And crucially, where does the money

:56:30. > :56:34.come from? The government has started to recognise the importance

:56:35. > :56:38.of investing in the coast because I think it has been underinvested in

:56:39. > :56:42.for a while now with the coastal communities fund. There are various

:56:43. > :56:46.projects around the country. There are companies that are now brave

:56:47. > :56:50.enough and have the confidence to invest in the coast, urban Splash

:56:51. > :56:56.have invested in the Midland hotel here. We have companies like travel

:56:57. > :56:59.lodge investing in coastal locations and Butlins has basically sold out

:57:00. > :57:04.because they have recognised the value of the coast, they kept the

:57:05. > :57:07.traditions and realised people want seaside holidays like their

:57:08. > :57:13.grandparents had but better. Good stuff. Doctor David Jarrett, thanks

:57:14. > :57:17.very much. The message from David and all seaside towns we feature

:57:18. > :57:23.this week and anyone's around the British coast will say the classic,

:57:24. > :57:28.water's lovely, come on in! Speak to you later. Looks marvellous but

:57:29. > :57:29.cold. Has the bracing feel to it this morning. Lovely!

:57:30. > :00:48.Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

:00:49. > :00:52.Plenty more on our website at the usual address.

:00:53. > :00:56.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Naga

:00:57. > :00:59.More than one million people have been hit by Hurricane Irma

:01:00. > :01:03.The British Virgin Islands are the latest to report major

:01:04. > :01:07.The Governor declares a state of emergency.

:01:08. > :01:10.All of us have been afflicted by Hurricane Irma, some

:01:11. > :01:18.Apart from the structural damage there have sadly been reports

:01:19. > :01:23.It's predicted another 26 million people are at risk from the giant

:01:24. > :01:42.Major tourism areas in Cuba and Florida are being evacuated.

:01:43. > :01:49.Also today, a warning of race bias in the British justice system -

:01:50. > :01:52.a government-backed report says prosecution against some offenders

:01:53. > :02:04.In the last few hours pilots working for Thomas Cook Airlines have gone

:02:05. > :02:07.on strike, the first industrial action by UK pilots in 40 years.

:02:08. > :02:09.I'll be asking the airline's boss what's gone wrong.

:02:10. > :02:14.In sport, Big Ben is still striking, at Lord's at least.

:02:15. > :02:17.Ben Stokes takes six wickets on a crazy day at Lords,

:02:18. > :02:20.with both the West Indies and then England suffering batting collapses

:02:21. > :02:35.And our BBC Breakfast chat has made it right around the British

:02:36. > :02:38.coastline to hear. -- deckchair. We are in Morecambe, talking about the

:02:39. > :02:40.soldier. What draws people back to the early and British seaside year

:02:41. > :02:51.after year? -- brilliant. An autumnal feeling to the forecast.

:02:52. > :02:55.Some sunshine, but also plenty of showers. I will bring you all the

:02:56. > :02:59.details for the UK forecast, as well as a look at Hurricane Irma and

:03:00. > :03:01.where it is going next in the next 15 minutes.

:03:02. > :03:04.The path of destruction brought by Hurricane Irma has now affected

:03:05. > :03:07.more than one million people across the Caribbean.

:03:08. > :03:10.At least 14 people have been killed and a state of emergency has been

:03:11. > :03:12.declared at the British Virgin Islands.

:03:13. > :03:15.Overnight, the British Overseas Territory of Turks and Caicos has

:03:16. > :03:17.been pummelled by the storm, leaving tourists and residents

:03:18. > :03:22.The hurricane is projected to move to the Bahamas and Cuba,

:03:23. > :03:24.evacuations are underway, before it reaches Florida

:03:25. > :03:34.This is what it's like to look out of your hotel room in the Turks

:03:35. > :03:37.Caicos, knowing one of the strongest storms in recent memory

:03:38. > :03:41.Starting to hear the noise of the wind as well

:03:42. > :03:47.But we're not even close to the worst bit yet,

:03:48. > :03:57.On the British Virgin Islands, there have been an unknown

:03:58. > :04:00.With communications severely disrupted, the governor issued this

:04:01. > :04:03.audio message, declaring a state of emergency.

:04:04. > :04:09.All of us have been affected by Irma, and some more than others.

:04:10. > :04:11.Apart from the structural damage, there have been reports

:04:12. > :04:19.Our thoughts and prayers are with each and every one of you.

:04:20. > :04:23.At least one person is known to have died in the British territory

:04:24. > :04:25.of Anguilla where residents sheltered in their homes for safety.

:04:26. > :04:29.We were in the bath with a mattress above us, that's how we managed

:04:30. > :04:33.I think a lot of people were in a similar situation.

:04:34. > :04:37.We've seen houses with cars that have been picked up and thrown

:04:38. > :04:50.Barbuda was one of the first islands to be hit by Irma.

:04:51. > :04:52.It's now less than 48 hours away from the impact

:04:53. > :04:57.Jose has sustained wind speeds of 120 mph and it looks likely

:04:58. > :05:00.to gain in strength over the next day or two.

:05:01. > :05:16.With the hurricane moving towards Cuba and Florida, holidaymakers in

:05:17. > :05:20.the region are being told to follow local advice. Andy Moore is outside

:05:21. > :05:24.the Foreign Office this morning. Give us a sense of what is being

:05:25. > :05:29.said about what people can do, those people who are in those places, in

:05:30. > :05:33.the firing line? Well, we understand there are something like 10,000

:05:34. > :05:40.richest tourists on the island of Cuba. -- British. Some have been

:05:41. > :05:44.moved to other areas. The advice now from the travel companies is to stay

:05:45. > :05:47.inside your hotel, that is the safest place, because these

:05:48. > :05:51.buildings are designed to withstand hurricanes. Some tourists in Florida

:05:52. > :05:54.are being flown home early. There are no tourist is going out to

:05:55. > :05:59.Florida, or there won't be, because all the international airports there

:06:00. > :06:03.are shutting down on the weekend. There was some criticism of the

:06:04. > :06:06.government response in connection to aid getting there, equipment and

:06:07. > :06:12.help and supplies, coming out to some of those very badly affected

:06:13. > :06:16.areas. What is happening now? First of all, there are ?32 million

:06:17. > :06:20.earmarked in disaster relief, and then there is the military assets

:06:21. > :06:24.either in the regional rhomb away there. We have a royal Fleet

:06:25. > :06:29.auxiliary ship, Mounts Bay, that is off Anguilla. That is already

:06:30. > :06:35.delivering aid to the island. It has helicopters aboard. The first

:06:36. > :06:40.element task group will set out from RAF Brize Norton today. These are

:06:41. > :06:48.gigantic loadmaster transport aircraft, some of those will have

:06:49. > :06:52.helicopters aboard. -- Globemaster. And then we have the flagship of the

:06:53. > :06:55.Royal Navy with helicopters aboard, setting out from the Mediterranean

:06:56. > :06:58.and heading towards the Caribbean, although it will take about ten days

:06:59. > :07:01.or two weeks to arrive in the affected area. Andy, thank you.

:07:02. > :07:03.Young offenders from ethnic minority backgrounds will become "the next

:07:04. > :07:06.generation of adult criminals" unless the justice system

:07:07. > :07:09.is reformed, according to a review led by the MP David Lammy.

:07:10. > :07:11.The inquiry makes a series of recommendations.

:07:12. > :07:13.These include allowing some prosecutions to be deferred,

:07:14. > :07:16.or even dropped, if suspects get treatment for issues such as drug

:07:17. > :07:27.In 80 minutes we will be speaking to the author of that report, the MP

:07:28. > :07:28.David Lammy. An earthquake with a magnitude

:07:29. > :07:31.of 8.0 has hit southern Mexico. The quake struck 75 miles

:07:32. > :07:33.off the Pacific coast, southwest of the town of Tres Picos,

:07:34. > :07:37.but buildings shook in Mexico City There are no reports so far of any

:07:38. > :07:45.major damage or casualties. The government is accusing Labour

:07:46. > :07:48.of a "cynical" attempt to block The bill paves the way for leaving

:07:49. > :07:55.the European Union in March 2019. Labour and other opposition parties

:07:56. > :07:58.have promised to vote against it next week, insisting that it gives

:07:59. > :08:00.sweeping powers to ministers Our political correspondent

:08:01. > :08:04.Chris Mason joins us from Chris, how do you think

:08:05. > :08:13.this might be resolved? You have been looking not just at

:08:14. > :08:17.the intricacies of the bill, but the tension is building up a twin the

:08:18. > :08:22.parties? Yes, good morning. Antioch intricacies and plenty of tensions.

:08:23. > :08:27.What this boils down to is what kind of flavour of Brexit the different

:08:34. > :08:37.be delivered. So, there was a lot of concern articulated by Labour MPs.

:08:38. > :08:43.We spoke about this yesterday, the so-called Henry VIII powers. This is

:08:44. > :08:46.not MPs forming a judgement on the former monarch's less than good

:09:06. > :09:10.that is at the heart of all of this, as I say, is what Brexit looks like

:09:11. > :09:13.when it actually happens. We saw disagreement yesterday within the

:09:14. > :09:17.Conservative Party, and that carries on this morning, with a letter from

:09:18. > :09:22.some Conservative MPs saying they do not want to be kept in the EU by

:10:59. > :11:02.story to bring you. For the second time this week, you may remember

:11:03. > :11:07.that we showed you pictures of bats the inevitably nuisance, perhaps.

:11:08. > :11:14.They are still making the headlines. Catch him, Derry! Catch him! In case

:11:15. > :11:19.you didn't see it, this is a video which has gone viral, really. We ran

:11:20. > :11:23.this last week. It was a family's attempt to remove that from its

:11:24. > :11:26.kitchen. Scientists have done some work and have discovered more about

:11:27. > :11:31.how I houses could actually harm bats. This is because they use a

:11:32. > :11:35.sonar system of clicks when they fly, to avoid bumping into things.

:11:36. > :11:39.But when you have smooth surfaces plateglass windows, they create a

:11:40. > :11:44.blind spot which causes them to crash. I'm sure the panic didn't

:11:45. > :11:48.help either. It is now seven in 11 a.m.. We have

:11:49. > :11:52.the weather coming up and the sports later on.

:11:53. > :11:55.A significant report today looks at whether the criminal justice system

:11:56. > :12:01.is biased against people from ethnic minority communities. The author is

:12:02. > :12:07.a labour MP, David Lammy, who joins us now. Thank you for your time.

:12:08. > :12:11.This is a significant report. Lots of people have been waiting a long

:12:12. > :12:14.time to see its results. It covers a bottle territory. One of the

:12:15. > :12:17.conclusions you have come to is that there is still overt racial

:12:18. > :12:21.prejudice in the criminal justice system. Can you help people with an

:12:22. > :12:26.example of how that is manifesting itself, in a practical sense?

:12:27. > :12:31.Something that is visible? As part of the review, I commissioned some

:12:32. > :12:36.work from a women's organisation called Agenda, and they went to a

:12:37. > :12:42.particular women's prison, they spoke to the ethnic minority women

:12:43. > :12:46.there, and there was a lot of evidence of overt discrimination,

:12:47. > :12:49.racial slurs, something you would want to associate with the past, and

:12:50. > :12:55.many of those women felt intimidated. So I did see examples,

:12:56. > :13:00.particularly within our prison system, of overt discrimination. I

:13:01. > :13:03.think it is right to say that there are good prisons and bad prisons,

:13:04. > :13:10.and there are parts of the criminal justice system which I didn't see

:13:11. > :13:13.any disproportionate treatment, and I would pick the Crown Prosecution

:13:14. > :13:18.Service as one of those institutions, and our jury system,

:13:19. > :13:22.also, has a system which felt there when I looked at the analysis. Help

:13:23. > :13:28.us with this one. You have to people, say. One is white, one is

:13:29. > :13:31.black or from and if it minority background. They have committed a

:13:32. > :13:34.crime. The problem you are addressing is what happens next to

:13:35. > :13:39.them in the criminal justice system. Give us a sense of where that

:13:40. > :13:44.disparity starts to emerge? I think the way to think about it is a young

:13:45. > :13:48.black or Muslim man sitting in a police cell had a bad experience

:13:49. > :13:53.with the police, obviously, we know the issues around stop-and-search

:13:54. > :13:57.and arrest rates for black and minority ethnic communities. The

:13:58. > :14:01.young man then gets a duty solicitor given to him by the state. He

:14:02. > :14:06.doesn't trust the individual very much, he has never met them before.

:14:07. > :14:11.He gives a no comment interview, very uncooperative in the police

:14:12. > :14:15.cell. He then goes, he then opts not to go through the magistracy Court.

:14:16. > :14:21.He wants a jury, because he thinks he will get a fairer treatment than

:14:22. > :14:26.having a single judge. Basically, it compounds a situation where you end

:14:27. > :14:29.up with a not guilty plea. It is painful for victims, especially

:14:30. > :14:34.victims of crime who have to go through a long trial. It costs a

:14:35. > :14:37.fortune in the system. And if he is found guilty he has a longer

:14:38. > :14:42.sentence. So I have been looking at the system right from that point of

:14:43. > :14:47.arrest, right through to the end, and we have now created a situation

:14:48. > :14:51.in our country where 41% of our youth prison system, that is young

:14:52. > :14:56.people, as young as ten and is all those 18, being from a black or

:14:57. > :15:00.minority ethnic background. I mean, that is more than double the amount

:15:01. > :15:06.of black and ethnic minority young people in our country. That is a

:15:07. > :15:10.significant issue and it suggests that our adult prison population

:15:11. > :15:14.will grow as well if we do not try to do something about this.

:15:15. > :15:23.Are looking at how the papers are reporting your report this morning,

:15:24. > :15:26.and I want some clarification, you say cases against some black

:15:27. > :15:31.defendants should be dropped -- I'm looking. What does that mean in

:15:32. > :15:35.relation to one defendant who is black or from an ethnic minority

:15:36. > :15:40.background or another who is white, what does that mean? I'm not

:15:41. > :15:45.suggesting anything for one group and not another. What I'm saying is

:15:46. > :15:51.that because of the issues of trust that exist, there is a tendency to

:15:52. > :16:01.plead not guilty whatever the circumstances. I looked at a pilot

:16:02. > :16:05.we've done in this country called Operation Turning Point in the West

:16:06. > :16:09.Midlands, I've looked at the systems in California and New Zealand and

:16:10. > :16:13.I'm suggesting deferred prosecution, not asking for first and second time

:16:14. > :16:16.offences for the individual to decide whether they are guilty or

:16:17. > :16:21.not but intervening with the problems, deal with the drugs, deal

:16:22. > :16:27.with the family background, deal with the anger management and

:16:28. > :16:30.education, intervene and save the system money, save the victims going

:16:31. > :16:35.through this lengthy trial and grip the problem such that you don't have

:16:36. > :16:38.the reoffending rates that we are seeing in first and second time

:16:39. > :16:42.offences. That's what I'm suggesting. That would work for

:16:43. > :16:46.everyone but it would have a particular effect on black and

:16:47. > :16:51.ethnic minority communities where there's a tendency because of low

:16:52. > :16:55.levels of to plead not guilty whatever the circumstances. Can I

:16:56. > :16:59.just ask, given the scale of your report and the scale of the problem,

:17:00. > :17:03.how deep-seated is it within the system? What confidence do you have

:17:04. > :17:07.your report will make a difference to anyone appearing in front of a

:17:08. > :17:13.court or going through the criminal justice system tomorrow, next week,

:17:14. > :17:18.next year or in five years time? This is a cross-party moment. In the

:17:19. > :17:30.end I have been asked by two Conservative prime ministers to lead

:17:31. > :17:33.this review. I'm a Labour MP. The review was welcomed by Jeremy Corbyn

:17:34. > :17:37.and my recommendations this morning I see walk and by the Labour Party

:17:38. > :17:40.as well so we've got a cross-party consensus that we've got a real

:17:41. > :17:43.problem. It's costing taxpayers a fortune. We can close 12 prisons if

:17:44. > :17:46.we didn't have this disproportionality so I hope there's

:17:47. > :17:48.a consensus to move forward, the government act on my

:17:49. > :17:52.recommendations. I'm not going anywhere, I'm a jobbing Member of

:17:53. > :18:00.Parliament and I will be making sure we see these recommendations

:18:01. > :18:05.implemented if we don't want to see the wasted lives we have at the

:18:06. > :18:08.moment. David Lammy, the author of the report into the criminal justice

:18:09. > :18:12.system as it is affecting black and ethnic minority groups.

:18:20. > :18:29.UK government deploys more troops and pledges to increase its relief

:18:30. > :18:33.fund for the British territories affected to ?200 million.

:18:34. > :18:37.Here's Sarah with a look at this morning's weather.

:18:38. > :18:43.Sarah, we've been talking to eyewitnesses in the area in Antigua,

:18:44. > :18:52.in various islands who have been hit by these two hurricanes so far, Irma

:18:53. > :18:54.being very destructive but also the threat of Jose.

:18:55. > :19:03.We've got three hurricanes at the moment, an unusual situation. This

:19:04. > :19:06.one, Katia, is further west so that will impact eastern parts of Mexico

:19:07. > :19:11.bringing flooding and landslides but it isn't in the same region as these

:19:12. > :19:17.two. And Irma has been catastrophic so far. Jose is likely to follow but

:19:18. > :19:22.it won't affect the same regions, probably heading towards the Leeward

:19:23. > :19:25.Islands and four areas that really could do without another hurricane.

:19:26. > :19:30.Les concentrate on the major category five hurricane, Irma. You

:19:31. > :19:36.can see the central eye of the storm, a vast hurricane, still

:19:37. > :19:40.producing winds of 160 mph with higher gusts than that so it's not

:19:41. > :19:46.just the winds, it's the heavy rainfall and storm surge, could be

:19:47. > :19:50.as high as 15 to 20 feet. It's moving across the Turks Caicos

:19:51. > :19:54.Islands and it will head close to Cuba, to the south of the Bahamas,

:19:55. > :19:58.before pushing northwards towards the central Florida in time for the

:19:59. > :20:02.weekend. Probably still a major category four hurricane. Still

:20:03. > :20:10.catastrophic damage to come from Irma with Jose following on behind.

:20:11. > :20:15.In the UK, a much quieter picture. A day of sunshine and showers. Breezy,

:20:16. > :20:20.and of autumnal feel as we head over the next few days with low pressure

:20:21. > :20:24.in charge -- an autumnal. That is in the north-west and we see winds

:20:25. > :20:27.coming around the area of low pressure bringing us showers.

:20:28. > :20:30.Brighter weather to be enjoyed between the showers today for

:20:31. > :20:34.eastern Scotland this morning. In towards the southern England we

:20:35. > :20:37.likely to see heavier and more persistent rain developing as it

:20:38. > :20:41.goes east through the day and we could have some thunder around as

:20:42. > :20:44.well. This afternoon some showers in Scotland could be quite heavy and

:20:45. > :20:49.slow moving with thunderstorms mixed in. Could be some surface water

:20:50. > :20:52.lying around and for Northern Ireland, some heavy showers but not

:20:53. > :20:56.raining all the time. Some brightness to be enjoyed.

:20:57. > :20:59.Temperatures mainly in the mid teens for most and feeling cool with the

:21:00. > :21:05.breeze and showers. Sunshine for Northern England, the Midlands,

:21:06. > :21:08.heavy rain this afternoon towards the London region to the Isle of

:21:09. > :21:11.Wight. For the south-west of England, we should see some

:21:12. > :21:15.brightness breaking through later but we continue to see blustery

:21:16. > :21:19.showers this evening. They will ease away overnight so many become dry

:21:20. > :21:23.tonight with clear spells. Still quite windy and showery in the west

:21:24. > :21:29.but further east you have clearer temperatures just a about holding up

:21:30. > :21:33.in towns and cities but cold in the countryside. Saturday brings

:21:34. > :21:37.blustery showers across the west but drier weather in the east at first

:21:38. > :21:40.and three the day the showers become more widespread. Another day of

:21:41. > :21:46.sunshine and showers tomorrow and temperatures between 15 to 19. On

:21:47. > :21:50.Sunday we see the next area of low pressure and that will bring some

:21:51. > :21:55.wet and windy weather that spreads in from the west, especially later

:21:56. > :21:57.on on Sunday. Back to you both. Thanks very much, Sarah.

:21:58. > :22:00.If your baby or child was choking on a sweet,

:22:01. > :22:02.would you know what to do to help them?

:22:03. > :22:05.If the answer is no, then you aren't alone.

:22:06. > :22:08.New research suggests three out of four parents in the UK

:22:09. > :22:11.would not be able to save their baby, that's according

:22:12. > :22:20.James Beech is a first aid trainer and he joins us now.

:22:21. > :22:28.Good morning. Good morning. There is the point when you are dealing with

:22:29. > :22:33.a small person, a fragile body, and they are choking, you don't

:22:34. > :22:37.instinctively with an adult... You would be happy to slap them on the

:22:38. > :22:41.back hard but you don't want to shake or hurt a child, what should

:22:42. > :22:45.you do? I will talk you through it. The main point to get across is you

:22:46. > :22:50.should do something and your correct, you wouldn't want to hit

:22:51. > :22:54.them as hard as... If Charlie was choking now you would hit them hard,

:22:55. > :22:59.if the baby was, you would do it less hard. Let's do the scenario,

:23:00. > :23:04.you are having dinner and the baby is in the high chair and starts...

:23:05. > :23:13.Perhaps coughing initially and then you realise. When they are coughing

:23:14. > :23:17.you need to remember they can get it out themselves, when they stop its

:23:18. > :23:22.dangerous. You need to pick them up and we are looking at a child that

:23:23. > :23:25.is under the age of one here. We need to make sure we are supporting

:23:26. > :23:30.their heads. You need to support ahead and then you will pop them

:23:31. > :23:34.down like that and if you see, you've got ahead lower than their

:23:35. > :23:38.bottoms of gravity is on your side to help dislodge anything. Then you

:23:39. > :23:43.are going to do what Naga said, use the heel of your hand and hit them

:23:44. > :23:51.firmly on their back. Hopefully by doing that you are going to find the

:23:52. > :23:55.object comes away. People can hear that, that is a considerable impact

:23:56. > :23:59.you are making? It has to be firm. You're supporting the head but what

:24:00. > :24:03.you are trying to do is dislodge whatever is blocked to come out so

:24:04. > :24:09.your baby can breathe again. It could be quite scary but it's

:24:10. > :24:12.important people learn this skill because this is causing a little bit

:24:13. > :24:18.of bruising on their back potentially, that is a much lesser

:24:19. > :24:22.thing than the baby not breathing so this is a really important. What if

:24:23. > :24:27.that doesn't work? If it doesn't work, you try up to five times, you

:24:28. > :24:31.want to turn the baby the other way up, keep supporting ahead, keep it

:24:32. > :24:35.lower than their bottom but they are facing you and you will place two

:24:36. > :24:40.fingers in the centre of their chest. Between the ribs? Right in

:24:41. > :24:44.the centre of their chest, between their nipples is the best way to

:24:45. > :24:49.think of it and you are going to push firmly downwards and what you

:24:50. > :24:53.are trying to do here is to force air out of their lungs and again

:24:54. > :25:00.tried to dislodge whatever it is that is caught. A simple skill to

:25:01. > :25:04.learn and what we are encouraging people to do, it is world first a

:25:05. > :25:08.day tomorrow and we would like parents in particular to learn a

:25:09. > :25:13.first aid skills, why not start with this? At any stage do you check in

:25:14. > :25:17.the mouth to see if anything is stuck in the back of the throat? We

:25:18. > :25:20.wouldn't recommend putting your fingers in the mouth but if you can

:25:21. > :25:24.see something clearly and you can safely get it out with your fingers

:25:25. > :25:30.you could try that but the main message is to start with this

:25:31. > :25:34.effective technique. By doing the back blows there is strong evidence

:25:35. > :25:38.to suggest that should work. What happens if after both those methods

:25:39. > :25:42.the baby is still choking, or if something has come out and the baby

:25:43. > :25:48.is still distressed, what should you do then? Call 999 at that point, if

:25:49. > :25:52.you have tried five of each of those skills and you want to call 999 and

:25:53. > :25:55.you're going to carry on going between the back blows and the chest

:25:56. > :26:02.thrusts until help arrives. When you're in that position, all my

:26:03. > :26:06.instincts are that I... That movement you did before it is much

:26:07. > :26:11.firmer than I would have thought you were going to say. I'm going like

:26:12. > :26:18.that and you word... With the heel of your hand like that as well. That

:26:19. > :26:22.bit of your hand -- you would. Bit in between the shoulder blades at

:26:23. > :26:28.the top. In between the shoulder blades at the top and Inbetweener

:26:29. > :26:34.nipples on the front. Younger child? Leaning them forward, hitting them

:26:35. > :26:39.on the back or an ab thrust. If you want to learn the skill you can go

:26:40. > :26:44.on world first a day's website and you can see the videos and you can

:26:45. > :26:49.down a free first aid app from the Red Cross or you can come on one of

:26:50. > :27:00.our courses. I do wish your baby would cheer up a little bit. Has he

:27:01. > :27:05.got a name? Anne. This is Junior. Just been choking, can't be too

:27:06. > :27:09.happy! Lovely to see you. If you want to watch a demonstration on

:27:10. > :27:12.what to do if the baby is joking then we have the video on our

:27:13. > :30:54.Facebook and Twitter pages. The time is 7:30 a.m.. 1.2 million

:30:55. > :30:57.people have now been affected IV destructive trail of Hurricane Irma,

:30:58. > :31:01.according to the International Red Cross. Overnight the storm

:31:02. > :31:04.progressed into Haiti and the Turks and Caicos Islands. The British

:31:05. > :31:09.Virgin Islands are the latest to report major damage and death. The

:31:10. > :31:13.government there has reported a state of emergency. The government

:31:14. > :31:16.says the first military flight to the Caribbean will leave from RAF

:31:17. > :31:21.Brize Norton this morning with military personnel, Russians and

:31:22. > :31:24.water on board. Earlier On Breakfast, the department for

:31:25. > :31:28.international developer to set it was time to get a there is quickly

:31:29. > :31:31.as possible. Some of the islands on the northern leeward side were badly

:31:32. > :31:35.hit. That is Anguilla and Barbuda, and as far as we know, the British

:31:36. > :31:40.Virgin Islands have also been really badly hit. There has been to

:35:39. > :35:43.out about, wouldn't you? That is wonderful, isn't it? That was a

:35:48. > :35:52.waiting for the lights to turn red. It is art. The moving shrubbery was

:36:40. > :36:45.Obviously we still have to score runs to try to get ahead of them,

:36:46. > :36:50.but I think it will be one of those wickets where there is a period of

:36:51. > :36:53.plays and is misses and not scoring too much, but if we can get 100 past

:37:25. > :37:29.I haven't played her in a long time, clearly she's seen me playing many,

:37:30. > :37:32.many times, but I haven't seen her play as much.

:37:33. > :37:35.I'm super happy to be in a Grand Slam final,

:37:36. > :37:39.and to do it here, obviously my home slam, it's even more special.

:37:40. > :37:41.I think this is what every player dreams about.

:39:09. > :39:10.I am very disappointed at this situation regarding Wayne Rooney.

:39:11. > :39:13.We have spoken, that was last Tuesday, and the chairman,

:39:14. > :39:15.Bill Kenwright, spoke also to Wayne about this situation.

:39:54. > :39:56.Meanwhile, things aren't going so well on the Tour of Britain

:39:57. > :40:00.Geraint Thomas could only finish 8th on the 10-mile individual time

:40:01. > :40:04.That leaves him 9th overall, 19 seconds behind Lars Boom,

:40:05. > :40:07.who won the stage to take the overall lead from Sky's Elia

:40:08. > :40:15.In Super League, St Helens kept their top four hopes alive

:40:16. > :40:18.with a dramatic 18-16 late win at Wakefield.

:40:19. > :40:21.Jonnie Lomax with the winning try - with just three minutes remaining,

:40:22. > :40:25.Saints are up to fifth, one point behind Wakefield with two

:40:26. > :40:35.Now, he's walked away unscathed from motorbike crashes at 80 miles

:40:36. > :40:37.per hour, but Cal Crutchlow is a doubt for this weekend's

:40:38. > :40:48.Misano MotoGP because of a savage piece of cheese.

:40:49. > :40:59.The cheese! The Parmesan? You can demonstrate. He was cutting this

:41:00. > :41:02.earlier this week and he severed tendon, which is important when you

:41:03. > :41:06.are riding a motorbike. And you want Charlie to demonstrate! Have the

:41:07. > :41:14.health and safety people cleared this? I think so. Most people

:41:15. > :41:17.probably great they are Parmesan. I know that Dan Walker nearly lost a

:41:18. > :41:21.finger once when he was grating Parmesan. You can't grate it with a

:41:22. > :41:31.knife. That is a very blunt knife, too. People do slice it, and have

:41:32. > :41:35.shavings. I use a potato peeler. You don't want about, just a bit of

:41:36. > :41:39.cheese. In my experience, the problem with the Parmesan is this is

:41:40. > :41:43.when you have a big piece like this and you have a greater it is fine,

:41:44. > :41:47.because obviously your hands are some distance from the cheese. It is

:41:48. > :41:51.when you get down to the last little corner and then you get your finger.

:41:52. > :41:54.Absolutely. It is the latest in a long line of Czar sporting injuries

:41:55. > :41:59.in the kitchen. You remember Dave Beasant, he dropped a jar of salad

:42:00. > :42:07.cream in his foot. Ivan Letty got a fractured cheek and from chicken

:42:08. > :42:12.wings. Chicken wings? They were thrown at him. It was not his fault.

:42:13. > :42:15.Kurt Broadford was in hospital because of exploding poached eggs.

:42:16. > :42:25.You have to be careful in the kitchen.

:42:26. > :42:32.Well, he has learnt his lesson of the Parmesan. Very tasty, Parmesan.

:42:33. > :42:35.Let's hope Cal Crutchlow is OK on the weekend. Absolutely. Thank you.

:42:36. > :42:39.The first strike by UK pilots in 40 years has started a few hours ago.

:42:40. > :42:41.Thomas Cook Airline pilots are unhappy over pay.

:42:42. > :42:45.Yes, the 12-hour strike started at 3:00 this morning and will last

:42:46. > :42:53.The pilots at Thomas Cook Airlines are unhappy over low pay rises

:42:54. > :42:59.The airline says it's still planning to operate all scheduled flights

:43:00. > :43:02.today, but it has changed some departure times.

:43:03. > :43:05.Earlier we spoke to Brian Strutton, the General Secretary of the union,

:43:06. > :43:07.the British Airline Pilots Association, which has

:43:08. > :43:24.He said it was time for Thomas Cook to treat its members better.

:43:25. > :43:32.Thomas Cook pilots have fallen behind other similar pilots in the

:43:33. > :43:36.industry. They want to recover some of us lost ground. None of that is

:43:37. > :43:41.unreasonable. Thomas Cook airlines have made profits of ?172 million.

:43:42. > :43:43.They can afford a decent pay rise for their pilots.

:43:44. > :43:50.That is the view of the union. Let's speak to Christoph Debus, the chief

:43:51. > :43:54.executive of the airline. The union says you can afford it. And you?

:43:55. > :43:59.Affordability is always key if you are talking about pay rises. We work

:44:00. > :44:03.in an extremely competitive environment. Everybody knows that

:44:04. > :44:07.cost control with the rise of the low-cost carrier is key. We want to

:44:08. > :44:11.offer a great bike, which we do at Thomas Cook. We have to manage our

:44:12. > :44:19.costs. We have offered our pilots a pay rise, 1.75% in Year 1, two .25%

:44:20. > :44:22.in Year 2. On top of automatic increments of 1.8%. I think that

:44:23. > :44:27.shows that it is clearly above inflation. So I think this is a

:44:28. > :44:33.reasonable offer in very challenging times. It shows that we are willing

:44:34. > :44:40.to talk. We have moved three times in the negotiation. Balpa hasn't

:44:41. > :44:44.moved at all. We ask Balpa to come back in the best interests of our

:44:45. > :44:48.customers and the business to revolt -- resolve this dispute. If you look

:44:49. > :44:52.at public sector pay, rising but 1% and being capped at that, and if you

:44:53. > :44:55.look at everybody else's pay, capped at 2%, it seems like a good deal.

:44:56. > :45:04.Why are they not happy? It's an extremely fair deal, you

:45:05. > :45:07.mention the numbers and in comparison it's extremely fair. If

:45:08. > :45:14.you compare our pilot wages with other airlines, you have to compare

:45:15. > :45:18.it with the relevant ones. Most our flights... Low-cost carriers have

:45:19. > :45:25.lower levels than has. Our pay levels are very competitive in that

:45:26. > :45:29.regard and we pay the highest pension contribution. We have a good

:45:30. > :45:35.package for our pilots. We have been growing and creating new promotions

:45:36. > :45:40.and we are overall and attractive employer. What was your last pay

:45:41. > :45:46.rise? It was zero because I didn't get a pay rise this year. Let's talk

:45:47. > :45:50.about the industry, its important prices and costs are being kept low,

:45:51. > :45:54.you have to cut costs to compete, there's also saw challenges for the

:45:55. > :45:58.industry, is it fair you ask the pilots to pay for that? In our

:45:59. > :46:04.industry it's always a combination. We always want to provide affordable

:46:05. > :46:08.high-quality holidays for our customers. We live in a competitive

:46:09. > :46:12.environment, with the devaluation of the pound, we pay costs in US

:46:13. > :46:19.dollars like fuel. We have to be very careful. I totally respect our

:46:20. > :46:24.employees all our employees deserve a pay rise and I think you see from

:46:25. > :46:28.our offer we are willing to get a pay rise -- give a pay rise but it

:46:29. > :46:33.has to be appropriate, reasonable and affordable. I don't think if you

:46:34. > :46:39.stack everything up, this is 10%. It doesn't fit into the times which we

:46:40. > :46:43.are living in. It's the first pilots strike in 40 years, do you get a

:46:44. > :46:47.sense of the anger they feel? What happens if they don't come back to

:46:48. > :46:52.the negotiating table and they say we won't work for what you are

:46:53. > :46:57.offering? We are a group of 22,000 employees, I get so much feedback

:46:58. > :47:01.from other employees who said stay firm in this dispute because you are

:47:02. > :47:05.offering a reasonable offer. This morning all flights have departed on

:47:06. > :47:11.time, you can see there are also many pilots who love what they do,

:47:12. > :47:15.flying the aircraft, bringing our customers safely to their

:47:16. > :47:19.destination so I think it has to be affordable and fair for everyone. We

:47:20. > :47:23.want to resolve that and we hope they will come back to the table.

:47:24. > :47:26.You said you have had to change the flight times slightly but most if

:47:27. > :47:31.not all are leaving as planned. This morning all flights have left on

:47:32. > :47:35.time or even ahead of time. I want to talk about the hurricane, we've

:47:36. > :47:40.been talking about events in the Caribbean. What are your plans to

:47:41. > :47:45.get people back safely? I know you're not sending people over but

:47:46. > :47:51.what are your plans? The customer is our key principle. What we did on

:47:52. > :47:54.Wednesday, we have sent our specialist assistant team to the

:47:55. > :48:01.Dominican Republic and Cuba, which are the most impacted. We have got

:48:02. > :48:07.people in Cuba out of a dangerous area. It's not in the path of the

:48:08. > :48:10.hurricane. On the weekend we will send empty aircraft to bring

:48:11. > :48:17.customers back and we are currently in our crisis team, which is working

:48:18. > :48:22.on a 24-hour basis. We are monitoring the situation. It might

:48:23. > :48:26.be that we have to delay further flights, we delayed one from

:48:27. > :48:32.yesterday to today, we will delay one potentially. Good to talk to

:48:33. > :48:42.you. The Chief Executive of Thomas Cook airlines. Can I ask a question?

:48:43. > :48:47.The pilots strike has started? Yes. Who is buying the planes? Pilots are

:48:48. > :48:51.coming in, non-union members and other pilots who might be in the

:48:52. > :48:57.union but don't support the strike. Are they Thomas Cook pilots? Yes,

:48:58. > :49:00.they are the anyone's allowed to fly the planes. Thanks very much.

:49:01. > :49:04.Here's Sarah with a look at this morning's weather.

:49:05. > :49:13.Good morning. It is quite mixed at the moment, it feels like summer has

:49:14. > :49:16.gone and we are into autumn? That's right, we have some unsettled

:49:17. > :49:20.autumnal weather on the cards but it's not going to be a complete

:49:21. > :49:23.washout. Where you see the sun come through this time of year,

:49:24. > :49:27.temperatures doing reasonably well but through the course of today it's

:49:28. > :49:32.that real mix of sunshine, showers and it is quite blustery as well.

:49:33. > :49:36.Low pressure, certainly in charge at the moment, sitting out to the

:49:37. > :49:40.north-west of the UK, and we have the winds rattling around that area

:49:41. > :49:44.of low pressure so bringing scattered showers and some longer

:49:45. > :49:49.spells of rain, especially in parts of southern England through the day.

:49:50. > :49:51.Heading into the afternoon, scattered showers across Scotland

:49:52. > :49:56.and Northern Ireland, some will be quite heavy and slow moving. You

:49:57. > :50:00.could have the odd rumble of thunder around and temperatures generally in

:50:01. > :50:05.the mid-teens. Heading our way south across the country, again that mix

:50:06. > :50:09.of sun sunny spells, plenty of showers and in some parts of

:50:10. > :50:14.southern England could merge into longer spells of rain. Don't be

:50:15. > :50:17.surprised if you see some thunderstorms. Towards the

:50:18. > :50:21.south-west of England, you should see a bit of brightness breaking

:50:22. > :50:25.through in between the showers. Onto this evening, we're going to see the

:50:26. > :50:30.showers tending to ease away. They will continue in the north and west

:50:31. > :50:36.for a time but in eastern areas you will see clearer spells. By early

:50:37. > :50:39.Saturday, temperatures holding on in double figures in the towns and

:50:40. > :50:43.cities but colder than that in the countryside. On Saturday it is

:50:44. > :50:48.western parts continuing to see the breezy, showery weather but further

:50:49. > :50:53.east and you're more likely to stay dry. Having said that, during the

:50:54. > :50:57.afternoon showers become once again a bit more widespread. Another day

:50:58. > :51:02.of sunshine and showers and temperatures of between 15 and 18.

:51:03. > :51:05.Into the second half of the weekend, a small ridge of high pressure.

:51:06. > :51:10.Sunday for many of us should start on a dry note but it won't last all

:51:11. > :51:13.that long. The next area of low pressure brings wet and windy

:51:14. > :51:17.weather initially towards the north-west on Sunday, that will

:51:18. > :51:20.creep these words later in the day but I think probably towards the

:51:21. > :51:23.south-east you should have a relatively good deal of drier and

:51:24. > :51:27.slightly brighter weather but temperatures nothing to write home

:51:28. > :51:32.about and feeling chilly with the breeze and showers. A bit of an

:51:33. > :51:33.unsettled story over the next few days.

:51:34. > :51:41.Thanks very much. Let's see what the weather conditions are like. This is

:51:42. > :51:45.Morecambe. This week we have seen all types of weather, some days have

:51:46. > :51:50.been beautiful, today has a slightly more brisk look to it, a bit nippy

:51:51. > :51:56.in Morecambe Bay. Stunning nevertheless. John Maguire is there.

:51:57. > :52:00.With those views come great memories of taking lovely walks down the

:52:01. > :52:07.beach. John, that's what you're talking about today? That's right.

:52:08. > :52:11.We are calling this whether eclectic because we've had pretty much a bit

:52:12. > :52:15.of everything this morning. Wonderful views at Morecambe Bay and

:52:16. > :52:21.Steve, the cameraman, is giving you a panoramic view. Here's the Midland

:52:22. > :52:25.hotel, recently refurbished, looking up north to the Lake District, you

:52:26. > :52:30.get that thing in this country, mountains behind the seat. Out of

:52:31. > :52:33.the vast expanse of Morecambe Bay you could see wind farms in the

:52:34. > :52:38.distance. A lovely spot. The seaside is so magical. It's the boomerang

:52:39. > :52:41.effect, why do we keep coming back Chris when I we found out why you

:52:42. > :52:59.love the seaside. My favourite memory is jumping off

:53:00. > :53:02.the rocks. My favourite memory is watching the kids jumping off the

:53:03. > :53:07.rocks with my heart in my mouth knowing they're having fun.

:53:08. > :53:14.What was yours, love? Possibly being in South Shields a couple of weeks

:53:15. > :53:16.ago performing Beauty and the Beast. She's in character. It's good that,

:53:17. > :53:22.that, isn't it? The only thing I remember of the

:53:23. > :53:28.coast is having barbecues after getting results and stuff like that.

:53:29. > :53:32.To cheer you up after results. Whenever things gone wrong it's nice

:53:33. > :53:37.to go down to the water and just, sort of, chill.

:53:38. > :53:49.My favourite memory is when Leon took me to the coast in Devon for

:53:50. > :53:53.the first time. Within the UK. I've never been before so the coast is

:53:54. > :53:54.absolutely beautiful. I did and realise how gorgeous the coast

:53:55. > :54:02.actually is. Me and my sister making sandcastles

:54:03. > :54:11.and I knocked them all over. My favourite memory of being at the

:54:12. > :54:19.seaside was only a few weeks ago when I got engaged to my girlfriend

:54:20. > :54:23.in Devon and we swam out to a rock in the middle of the sea and I

:54:24. > :54:27.thought I'd like to marry this lady so

:54:28. > :54:35.hopefully you at home joined us in going, ah, when he told us about

:54:36. > :54:41.getting engaged. Morecambe Bay looking eclectic and lively, is it

:54:42. > :54:45.the sight, sound and smell that brings us back? What about the

:54:46. > :54:51.future? Matt Smith is from the centre for entrepreneurs. How do we

:54:52. > :54:56.regenerate our formerly beloved seaside towns and ensure they have a

:54:57. > :54:59.vibrant future? We think it's the entrepreneurs that help build the

:55:00. > :55:05.seaside towns in the Victorian era and they will help them revive by

:55:06. > :55:10.bringing ideas, investment and jobs. It sounds easy, one assumes it's

:55:11. > :55:15.not. What is the key, what is the secret? Every seaside town needs a

:55:16. > :55:25.unique selling point. What sets aside real from Llandudno, what sets

:55:26. > :55:30.aside Morecambe from other places. Padstow is known for food, Newquay

:55:31. > :55:33.for sport, Blackpool for its nightlife, what will attract people

:55:34. > :55:37.to every seaside town and how can the local authority and the

:55:38. > :55:42.businesses help build that? That's crucial, that council by in, making

:55:43. > :55:47.sure the cash is there but making sure the council will get on board

:55:48. > :55:51.as well? You need the entrepreneurial drive of the elected

:55:52. > :55:54.councillors and officials, they need to like saying yes to businesses and

:55:55. > :55:59.to entrepreneurs with their ideas. Thanks very much. Fascinating to

:56:00. > :56:04.hear your views this morning and to hear about the future of our once

:56:05. > :56:09.beloved now still very much appreciated coastal towns. We're

:56:10. > :56:13.going to come back later to talk more about the future of these

:56:14. > :56:17.places and we will also meet some of our coastal champions, you've been

:56:18. > :56:20.nominating them, some of the people that make a real difference around

:56:21. > :56:26.the fantastic British coastline. Talk later. Look forward to it.

:56:27. > :56:30.Thanks very much. This is the shot from the drone. Looks fantastic.

:56:31. > :56:34.Almost like the weather conditions up why look different to the ground

:56:35. > :56:36.because it looks much brighter. I wonder if it is as good where you

:56:37. > :56:37.are this morning. Time now to get the news,

:56:38. > :59:59.travel and weather where you are. Plenty more on our website

:00:00. > :00:03.at the usual address. Now, though, it's back

:00:04. > :00:05.to Charlie and Naga. This is Breakfast, with

:00:06. > :00:09.Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty. More than one million

:00:28. > :00:31.have sadly been reports of casualties and fatalities.

:01:01. > :01:13.Pilots working for Thomas Cook airlines have gone on strike. It is

:01:14. > :01:16.the first industrial action by UK pilots in 40 years. I've been

:01:17. > :01:17.hearing from the union and the airline's boss about what has gone

:01:18. > :01:18.wrong. In sport, Big Ben is still striking

:01:19. > :01:22.- at Lords, at least. Ben Stokes takes six wickets

:01:34. > :01:49.of life's biggest issues - We are at the beach this morning. It

:01:50. > :01:53.is the last day of our trip around the UK's coast. This is Morecambe

:01:54. > :01:58.Bay. It is cloudy at the moment, but what about the rest of the country?

:01:59. > :02:01.Sarah can tell us. Fairly similar skies across many parts of the

:02:02. > :02:05.country, quite a lot of cloud around bringing heavy showers today. There

:02:06. > :02:10.will be some balances of sunshine in between the showers. We will have a

:02:11. > :02:14.full round-up of the UK weather, as well as at Hurricane Irma.

:02:15. > :02:18.The path of destruction brought by Hurricane Irma has now affected

:02:19. > :02:20.more than one million people across the Caribbean.

:02:21. > :02:24.At least 14 people have been killed, and a state of emergency has been

:02:25. > :02:26.declared at the British Virgin Islands.

:03:19. > :03:21.Apart from the structural damage, the have sadly been reports

:03:22. > :03:33.My thoughts and prayers are with each and everyone of you.

:03:34. > :03:36.At least one person is believed to have died on the British

:03:37. > :03:38.territory of Anguilla, where residents sheltered

:03:39. > :03:41.in the strongest part of their homes for safety.

:03:42. > :03:44.We were in the bath with a mattress above us.

:03:45. > :03:49.That's how we sort of managed to keep safe and dry.

:03:50. > :03:53.I think a lot of people were in a similar situation.

:03:54. > :03:56.We've seen houses with cars that have been just picked up

:03:57. > :04:04.Barbuda was one of the first islands to be hit by Irma.

:04:05. > :04:07.It is now less than 48 hours away from the impact

:04:08. > :04:12.Jose has sustained wind speeds of 120 mph and it looks likely

:04:13. > :04:14.to gain in strength over the next day or two.

:04:15. > :04:37.Let's pick up on those people that are affected already, and the fact

:04:38. > :04:42.it has Florida and Cuba in its sights? There is estimated to be up

:04:43. > :04:47.to 10,000 British holiday-makers on Cuba. Some of them have been moved

:04:48. > :04:50.away from the coastal resorts. The advice for the others still in the

:04:51. > :04:55.resorts is to stay in their hotels, because those buildings are built to

:04:56. > :04:59.withstand hurricanes like this. As for Florida, not many people going

:05:00. > :05:03.there at the moment, nobody heading there for the weekend because

:05:04. > :05:07.international airports will be shut down. In terms of the British

:05:08. > :05:10.Government's aid operation, there had been some criticism that it was

:05:11. > :05:15.slow to get off the mark. What is happening now? Teams from the

:05:16. > :05:18.foreign office will be heading out to the region today and they will be

:05:19. > :05:23.offering consular assistance to those hit by the hurricane. They

:05:24. > :05:27.will be working in parallel with the military teams, who will be offering

:05:28. > :05:33.disaster relief. So, we have the Royal Fleet auxiliary ship already

:05:34. > :05:36.in the area. It is helping citizens of the British territory of

:05:37. > :05:40.Anguilla. It has helicopters on board, earth moving equipment and

:05:41. > :05:45.emergency rations. Today there will be the first elements of a task

:05:46. > :05:48.group heading out. They will be giant transport aircraft heading out

:05:49. > :05:53.from RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire. The first plane leaving

:05:54. > :05:57.this morning will have personnel on board. Again, relief supplies and

:05:58. > :06:01.water rations. Some of the aircraft later on will be carrying

:06:02. > :06:05.helicopters to the region. Finally, there is the flagship of the Royal

:06:06. > :06:08.Navy, HMS Ocean, which will be leaving the Mediterranean to head

:06:09. > :06:13.towards the Caribbean. That is carrying a lot of helicopters but it

:06:14. > :06:15.will take ten days, two weeks to reach the area. It will then be

:06:16. > :06:18.helping residents recover from not just one hurricane, but, by then,

:06:19. > :06:21.two. An earthquake with a magnitude

:06:22. > :06:24.of eight point four has The quake struck 75 miles

:06:25. > :06:27.off the Pacific coast, But buildings shook in Mexico City

:06:28. > :06:36.hundreds of miles away. Reuters news agency are reporting

:06:37. > :06:44.that at least two people are dead. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre

:06:45. > :06:46.said tsunami waves were hitting Mexico,

:06:47. > :06:48.the biggest being more than two feet, and more hazardous waves

:06:49. > :06:51.could be possible "within the next three hours" for the coasts

:06:52. > :06:59.of Mexico and surrounding countries. Young offenders from ethnic minority

:07:00. > :07:02.backgrounds will become the next generation of adult criminals unless

:07:03. > :07:07.the justice system is reformed, according to a review led by the MP

:07:08. > :07:09.David Lammy. The inquiry makes a series of recommendations. These

:07:10. > :07:14.include allowing some prosecutions to be deferred or even dropped if

:07:15. > :07:15.suspects receive treatment for issues such as drug or alcohol

:07:16. > :07:16.problems. Noel Williams was 11 when he first

:07:17. > :07:19.got involved in gangs. By the age of 13 he was imprisoned

:07:20. > :07:25.for robberies and drug dealing. I'm in and out of the system,

:07:26. > :07:29.been there three times. A lot of bullying goes

:07:30. > :07:32.on and as we say lack of prison staff so they don't pick up

:07:33. > :07:34.on certain things, people are self-harming,

:07:35. > :07:37.if they don't cut their arms He's now turned his life around

:07:38. > :07:42.but he believes race and ethnicity plays a part in how you're treated

:07:43. > :07:44.and punished within It's unjust, of course it's unjust,

:07:45. > :07:50.and if you look at the sentences we get, they're longer,

:07:51. > :07:53.sentences are harsher and people are coming out not rehabilitated,

:07:54. > :07:55.sometimes they come out and reoffend at an accelerated rate

:07:56. > :08:02.to their counterparts too. The Lammy Review makes a number

:08:03. > :08:05.of key recommendations, such as removing identifying

:08:06. > :08:08.information about ethnicity when cases are passed from police

:08:09. > :08:11.to prosecutors so racial bias doesn't influence

:08:12. > :08:18.charging decisions. I'm very worried about our

:08:19. > :08:21.prison system, I think where there's clearly overt

:08:22. > :08:25.discrimination going on and some of the treatment

:08:26. > :08:29.is just unacceptable. It's one of the largest reviews

:08:30. > :08:32.of its kind and highlights that radical reform is urgently needed

:08:33. > :08:34.to bring fairness to The government is accusing Labour

:08:35. > :08:43.of a "cynical" attempt to block The bill paves the way for leaving

:08:44. > :08:49.the European Union in March 2019. Labour and other opposition

:08:50. > :08:51.parties have promised to vote against it next week,

:08:52. > :08:53.insisting that it gives sweeping powers to ministers

:08:54. > :09:07.but reduces MPs to spectators. Brexit Secretary David Davis claimed

:09:08. > :09:08.Britain would not forgive Labour if it tries to delay or destroy the

:09:09. > :09:24.process of leaving the EU. More than 160,000 Rohingya have fled

:09:25. > :09:33.to Bangladesh since unrest erupted there two weeks ago. Aung San Suu

:09:40. > :09:41.after her death, has saved or transformed the lives

:09:42. > :09:44.of eight patients - that's a record for a single donor

:09:58. > :10:02.If you would be willing to accept an organ you should be

:10:03. > :10:04.willing to donate an organ, and that is what we are asking

:10:05. > :10:07.people to consider, and make a decision that they will

:10:27. > :10:29.with a bottle of whisky to be smashed against the carrier

:10:38. > :10:42.Is that a traditional, whiskey? I am sure it used to be champagne.

:10:43. > :10:58.Possibly because it is in Fife? The Ministry of Defence says that

:10:59. > :11:01.the first aid to the Caribbean will leave from RAF Brize Norton this

:11:02. > :11:07.morning. Duncan is there. Obviously this cannot get there quickly

:11:08. > :11:11.enough? Absolutely, those preparations are under way. As you

:11:12. > :11:13.say, they are urgently needed in the Caribbean. This flight will be

:11:14. > :11:25.taking off about 10am. It is what they call a C17 Globemaster. It is

:11:26. > :11:30.capable of carrying 80 tonnes of equipment. We are not sure what that

:11:31. > :11:34.equipment is yet. This is very last minute stuff. All they have loaded

:11:35. > :11:39.so far as some water. You might be able to see it there. 50 passengers,

:11:40. > :11:42.50 RAF personnel will be on the advance party flight. They are

:11:43. > :11:45.heading to Barbados first of all and then they are hoping to get into the

:11:46. > :11:50.British Virgin Islands after that. It all depends on what capacity they

:11:51. > :11:56.have on the ground to take big aircraft like this. They won't know

:11:57. > :12:01.this until they get into the region. Later this morning, a second RAF

:12:02. > :12:08.aircraft, Voyager, will be leaving at about 11:30am. That will have 180

:12:09. > :12:11.passengers on board, RAF experts used to tackling these issues in

:12:12. > :12:17.hurricane areas and earthquake areas and the like. People not carrying

:12:18. > :12:20.much kit, they are the experts, the physical comic human side of it.

:12:21. > :12:25.This is the advance flight with the kit. They will team up in the

:12:26. > :12:31.region. -- the physical, human side of it.

:12:32. > :12:39.Let's talk more about the relief effort. Gemma Su is from the

:12:40. > :12:43.University of Manchester. Simon Calder is our travel editor. First,

:12:44. > :12:47.we were seeing some of the early preparations. We have heard from

:12:48. > :12:52.people in the region this morning, major issues around communications.

:12:53. > :12:57.Really basic stuff, getting in and out, or knowing the scale of the

:12:58. > :13:01.problem? This is really the critical period. We have had a lot of talk

:13:02. > :13:06.about how much money has been pledged by the UK government. It

:13:07. > :13:09.really is a matter of when it is going to arrive. We have

:13:10. > :13:15.organisations, local organisations on the ground that need resources to

:13:16. > :13:19.meet immediate needs, water, food and shelter. It is a critical

:13:20. > :13:23.period, a life and death situation. Some of the islands we are talking

:13:24. > :13:26.about are bigger islands. We were hearing from one of the experts a

:13:27. > :13:31.little earlier on. Some of the island communities are tiny. It's

:13:32. > :13:35.just a few thousand people. They are very remote places. It could take

:13:36. > :13:39.some time to them? That is absolutely true. But it is important

:13:40. > :13:46.to remember that there are local populations. They are the first

:13:47. > :13:49.responders. There will be local organisations which have... Well,

:13:50. > :13:52.I'm not sure how much capacity, but there is often the capacity to

:13:53. > :13:55.respond, but it is a matter of getting there as quickly as possible

:13:56. > :14:00.to support and shoulder the burden of responsibility at this time,

:14:01. > :14:04.because it is such a devastating earthquake. Time is of the essence.

:14:05. > :14:09.Simon, what is happening in terms of flights out of the region, into the

:14:10. > :14:13.region? We are concerned about the people living there, obviously, but

:14:14. > :14:18.we need to talk about the tourist destinations, highly popular

:14:19. > :14:23.destinations and people are stranded there? There are about 10,000 people

:14:24. > :14:31.in Cuba, which is next in line. There have been many concerns,

:14:32. > :14:35.particularly about three islands, off the northern coast of Cuba.

:14:36. > :14:42.Talking to holiday-makers, they were very, very worried about what was

:14:43. > :14:47.going to happen. Late yesterday, Cuban authorities said, right,

:14:48. > :14:54.everybody out. They evacuated everybody out to a less vulnerable

:14:55. > :14:58.resort and to have an. There are some flights to the Dominican

:14:59. > :15:05.Republic today. They were delayed until the storm had passed. People

:15:06. > :15:09.will be coming back on those. British Airways, Thomas Cook

:15:10. > :15:12.airlines, sending out a aircraft to bring people back. But flights are

:15:13. > :15:16.still continuing. British Airways is flying out to Miami this morning.

:15:17. > :15:19.They have said, do not get on this aircraft unless you have somewhere

:15:20. > :15:24.to stay, because many of the hotels are closing down. The tour

:15:25. > :15:27.operators, they all have different policies, confusingly. It is well

:15:28. > :15:31.worth talking to your travel agent or tour operator. You can get your

:15:32. > :15:35.money back if you have a holiday booked? Some of them you can. Thomas

:15:36. > :15:39.Cook is basically saying if you are going to the region, up to and

:15:40. > :15:43.including the weekend, that includes Orlando in Florida, you can get a

:15:44. > :15:47.full refund or switch to an alternative destination. Thomson,

:15:48. > :15:52.the bigger tour operators not being that generous. It is partly because

:15:53. > :15:56.there is no overall government warning, from the foreign office,

:15:57. > :15:57.saying, everybody out of the areas. If there were, there might be a more

:15:58. > :16:08.co-ordinated approach. Looking particularly at Barbuda

:16:09. > :16:11.yesterday, they are looking at such levels of devastation, and loss of

:16:12. > :16:16.life is the first thing that people look at, but beyond that, this is a

:16:17. > :16:19.place that relies so much on tourism, and the notion of how

:16:20. > :16:23.quickly they could try and get things together is a real worry. It

:16:24. > :16:27.is awful, and we have seen in previous events like this on other

:16:28. > :16:33.islands, it can take a decade to rebuild the tourist industry. Of

:16:34. > :16:39.course, you are going well beyond the immediate human tragedies to a

:16:40. > :16:44.longer lasting issue of people's livelihoods. There has been much

:16:45. > :16:49.about the reaction from wealthier countries and how quickly eight has

:16:50. > :16:52.been given - do you have a view on this? Definitely. There is talk

:16:53. > :16:57.about how much has been pledged and how quickly, but I think there is an

:16:58. > :17:02.absolute responsibility of wealthier nations to step in and take the

:17:03. > :17:07.burden of responsibility. The UK and France in particular? Yes, but not

:17:08. > :17:12.just because of them being British and French territories, but a level

:17:13. > :17:17.of global social justice that wealthy nations should step in when

:17:18. > :17:19.there are countries that are so vulnerable and have been so

:17:20. > :17:23.devastated, there is a responsibility to help these

:17:24. > :17:30.nations. Simon and Gemma, thank you for your time this morning. The time

:17:31. > :17:35.is 17 minutes past eight. I'm sure Sarah will take a look at

:17:36. > :17:39.the intricacies of how these hurricanes are moving across. We

:17:40. > :17:51.have Hurricane Jose following Hurricane Irma.

:17:52. > :18:00.Katya is not such a big storm as Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Jose.

:18:01. > :18:09.It is the peak of the hurricane season in the moment.

:18:10. > :18:17.You can see the huge size of that hurricane here on the satellite

:18:18. > :18:21.image. It is about the same size of France -- the same size as France.

:18:22. > :18:25.It has already caused catastrophic damage, and every is more to come.

:18:26. > :18:33.Over the next 24 hours or so, the storm will move towards Kumar. The

:18:34. > :18:40.winds of up to 160 mph. The rainfall of half a metre or so, as well as a

:18:41. > :18:44.significant storm surge, so very dangerous conditions, particularly

:18:45. > :18:50.for the more low-lying islands. Hurricane Jose looks like it may

:18:51. > :18:58.stay out towards the north-east. But it could hit Barbuda and Anguilla.

:18:59. > :19:04.Lots going on the other side of Atlantic. Here, unsettled. Sunshine,

:19:05. > :19:08.showers and quite breezy out there today, with low pressure driving the

:19:09. > :19:11.weather and packing in no shower was from the West. There will be some

:19:12. > :19:16.sunshine between the showers today, but some of them could be quite

:19:17. > :19:19.heavy. Some prolonged rain across South Wales and southern England at

:19:20. > :19:24.times, particularly the afternoon. It will be a windy in the south.

:19:25. > :19:30.Slightly lighter winds for the North, across parts of Scotland. The

:19:31. > :19:33.showers will be slow-moving, and there could be some thunderstorms

:19:34. > :19:37.mixed in too, so don't be surprised that there is quite a bit of lying

:19:38. > :19:42.water on the roads. A similar picture across Northern Ireland and

:19:43. > :19:48.into northern England. A bit of brightness across Lincolnshire and

:19:49. > :19:52.the Midlands. Apart from that, you're likely to see cloudy, wintry

:19:53. > :19:57.conditions with outbreaks of rain. A bit of brightness in between the

:19:58. > :20:01.showers. Temperatures are nothing to write home about - mid-teens for

:20:02. > :20:04.most of us. This evening, we continue with the windy, showery

:20:05. > :20:08.picture across north-western parts of the country. Further east,

:20:09. > :20:14.clearer skies and less windy weather. A fresh start on Saturday,

:20:15. > :20:19.particularly towards the east, where we could see temperatures down into

:20:20. > :20:23.single figures. There will be some sunshine to start the day on

:20:24. > :20:27.Saturday. Showers in the west of the country will drift to the east

:20:28. > :20:30.through the day. Sunny spells in between, and temperatures by

:20:31. > :20:39.tomorrow of 15-19dC. These temperatures certainly aren't

:20:40. > :20:44.anything to write home about, but they haven't been for a while, they?

:20:45. > :20:48.There are a little below average, but not too bad. The wind chill

:20:49. > :20:50.makes things feel cooler with the shallows around too. Layers are

:20:51. > :21:02.needed! Let's go straight to Ben and News of

:21:03. > :21:07.the first pilots' strike in 40 years.

:21:08. > :21:16.It is usually cabin crew that walk out, this time it is pilots. Pilots

:21:17. > :21:20.at Thomas Cook started a strike this morning. They are unhappy over what

:21:21. > :21:25.they call low pay rises. We have spoken to the union this morning,

:21:26. > :21:31.and they said enough is enough. The airline says it plans to operate all

:21:32. > :21:34.of its scheduled flights using nonunion pilots, but it has had to

:21:35. > :21:38.change some departure times over the course of the day, so check before

:21:39. > :21:47.you fly. The owner of the daily and Sunday

:21:48. > :21:53.Mirror newspapers is selling the company. Trinity Mirror prints

:21:54. > :21:57.regional papers as well, but it is thought the deal will need to be

:21:58. > :22:05.signed off by the regulator before it goes ahead.

:22:06. > :22:09.Another cyber attack has targeted a credit agency. It is described as a

:22:10. > :22:14.colossal breach and it could affect nearly half the US population. It is

:22:15. > :22:18.huge. It could affect people in Britain and Canada too. More than

:22:19. > :22:23.140 million customers have had some information stolen in America alone.

:22:24. > :22:27.We are told it is one of the largest attacks on record. Interesting times

:22:28. > :22:31.as far as security is concerned. You are up-to-date. More from us later.

:22:32. > :22:33.We've been talking this morning about nostalgic

:22:34. > :22:35.trips to the seaside, and for people who visit Morecambe

:22:36. > :22:38.one of their memories may have involve one of our Coastal

:22:39. > :22:48.Since 1536, the monarch has appointed an official guide

:22:49. > :22:51.to the dangerous quick sands that divide Lancashire and Cumbria.

:22:52. > :23:04.Breakfast's John Maguire is there for us and can tell us more.

:23:05. > :23:10.John is in marvellous Morecambe this morning.

:23:11. > :23:18.Good morning to you, guys. It is getting warmer here. Charlie the dog

:23:19. > :23:23.has just barked his appreciation. We have been talking and learning over

:23:24. > :23:27.the last week about the sun, the C . But it is really about people's

:23:28. > :23:30.relationship with the coast. That is what makes it so special to all of

:23:31. > :23:37.us. We have brought along some of our coastal champions this morning.

:23:38. > :23:46.We have Dave and Jan, who have come up from the Wirral. We have Bob and

:23:47. > :23:53.Carol from Coastwatch. We have a villain, Lane, Bruce, Henry, Bernie

:23:54. > :23:56.and last but not least, Cedric. Let's watch the amazing work that

:23:57. > :23:58.Cedric does. I'm Cedric Robinson,

:23:59. > :24:01.the Queen's Guide to the Sands of Morecambe Bay and I've been doing

:24:02. > :24:08.that for 54 years this year. It's my job to get everyone

:24:09. > :24:11.across the bay safely. In all the years I've been doing it

:24:12. > :24:14.now, I reckon I've taken The problem is, these days,

:24:15. > :24:19.these walks are so popular that keeping the numbers down

:24:20. > :24:27.is getting more difficult. I was crossing the sands,

:24:28. > :24:31.sat alongside HRH His Royal Highness Prince Philip,

:24:32. > :24:33.with the Queen's horses. On the way, he said,

:24:34. > :24:37.how on earth do you keep I said, well, the only thing

:24:38. > :24:45.you can do is to live There are quicksands in the bay,

:24:46. > :24:51.those are the most dangerous things. But also, when the tide comes in,

:24:52. > :24:55.it has a saying, it can come in on the high tides as fast

:24:56. > :24:58.as a horse can gallop. I was bred and born to the sands

:24:59. > :25:03.from a very early age. I can read the sands

:25:04. > :25:08.like you can open a morning When I retire from the sands, that

:25:09. > :25:12.will be the worst day of my life. I just love the sands and...

:25:13. > :25:41.I just love the sands. And Cedric is with us in the flesh.

:25:42. > :25:46.I have been here all of my life come since the age of 14. I am now 84

:25:47. > :25:51.years young and I have been on those sands every day. I have learned to

:25:52. > :25:55.read the sands when you read a newspaper -- like you read a

:25:56. > :25:58.newspaper when you get up in the morning. It is a big responsibility,

:25:59. > :26:03.really, but I never look at it that way because I am so laid back. I

:26:04. > :26:09.never think of the danger out there, but it is out there for the unwary.

:26:10. > :26:14.The Bay is one of the most dangerous ones in the world. It is nice to

:26:15. > :26:18.know that you are here to keep us all safe and that nothing would faze

:26:19. > :26:25.you. Evelyn, you work at the Winter Gardens here. We had some footage

:26:26. > :26:29.earlier from 1901 which showed the Winter Gardens back then, and you

:26:30. > :26:36.hope it will return to be a jewel in the crown for this resort? We formed

:26:37. > :26:41.the friends in 1986, so we have been a pressure group trying to save the

:26:42. > :26:47.building for 31 years. Now we have bought the building and it belongs

:26:48. > :26:51.to the preservation trust. Why is it important to save a building like

:26:52. > :26:55.that? Because we need people to come back into Morecambe, and it's one of

:26:56. > :26:59.the things that will draw them in, like the Midland Hotel, the Winter

:27:00. > :27:03.Gardens. They are buildings from the past, but you have to use things

:27:04. > :27:09.like this. A building like that, built in 1897, you couldn't recreate

:27:10. > :27:13.it, you couldn't afford to. And people now are coming into the

:27:14. > :27:19.Winter Gardens more and more, so it is helping the town, helping the

:27:20. > :27:23.area. Thanks to all the coastal champions. We will hear from more of

:27:24. > :27:26.them later in the programme. As we have been saying all morning, not

:27:27. > :27:31.just about the past in the present, but important to link these

:27:32. > :27:36.wonderful assets to the seaside's future. Back to you.

:27:37. > :27:45.Ruffled hair there. A little bracing at the seaside, maybe. Sorry, we cut

:27:46. > :27:49.him off. You can't comment about a man's hair

:27:50. > :27:54.and not let him reply! We will be back later on, so we will

:27:55. > :27:57.have a chat with John then. It is time to get the news, travel and

:27:58. > :31:19.weather where you are this morning. Hopefully it looks

:31:20. > :31:26.I'm back with the latest in about half an hour.

:31:27. > :31:30.Hello this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty.

:31:31. > :31:40.1.2 million people have now been affected by the destructive

:31:41. > :31:42.trail of Hurricane Irma according to the International Red Cross.

:31:43. > :31:44.Overnight, the storm progressed into Haiti

:31:45. > :31:47.The British Virgin Islands are the latest to report

:31:48. > :31:50.major damage and deaths, where the Governor has declared

:31:51. > :31:53.The Ministry of Defence say the first military flight

:31:54. > :31:56.to the Caribbean will leave from RAF Brize Norton later this morning,

:31:57. > :31:58.with military personnel, rations and water on board.

:31:59. > :32:00.Earlier on BBC Breakfast, the Department for International

:32:01. > :32:02.Development told us they were trying to get aid there as quick

:32:03. > :32:17.Some of the islands on the north side have been badly hit. As far as

:32:18. > :32:23.we know the British Virgin Islands have been badly hit. There have been

:32:24. > :32:27.communication issues with those places. We are hoping to get onto

:32:28. > :32:41.the ground tomorrow to the British Virgin Islands. The first assistance

:32:42. > :32:42.was delivered. They will be moving to the British Virgin Islands to get

:32:43. > :32:52.a better picture of the needs there. Simon Cross, originally

:32:53. > :32:55.from Essex, has lived in the British Virgin Islands for two years. He's

:32:56. > :33:05.been talking to us this morning about the impact of hurricane Irma.

:33:06. > :33:12.It is the early hours of the morning at the moment. It is quiet. You can

:33:13. > :33:15.hear a chapter in the distance, hopefully clearing the roads. There

:33:16. > :33:21.is plenty of debris entries. The only method of getting around

:33:22. > :33:23.anywhere is by car. It's a mountainous place. You cannot do

:33:24. > :33:30.anything without a car. That's really important, that the roads are

:33:31. > :33:36.clear, that the place is completely safe. We managed to go into town

:33:37. > :33:43.today and check on properties. The state of the properties, they are in

:33:44. > :33:49.a terrible state at the moment. We just hope as much work can be done

:33:50. > :33:53.overnight. And some sort of preparation. But in truth it feels

:33:54. > :33:59.like the island is on its knees, to be honest. The last thing we want is

:34:00. > :34:04.any bad weather, let alone a category three or whatever it is

:34:05. > :34:13.proposed to be. Can you tell us what it was like when Irma hit? We've

:34:14. > :34:17.seen pictures of buildings hit. We've seen dramatic images of people

:34:18. > :34:21.hanging on the doors as they were being blown through. Tell us about

:34:22. > :34:25.the ferocity of it when it hit the buildings. In our house it started,

:34:26. > :34:31.the major warning was when the skylight was blown off our roof. You

:34:32. > :34:35.could just hear the wind blasting through the upstairs of the house.

:34:36. > :34:41.At that point we thought the roof was going to go. That was our main

:34:42. > :34:42.indicator just to get downstairs, into the basement, into the most

:34:43. > :34:47.secure part of the building. An earthquake with a magnitude

:34:48. > :34:50.of eight has hit southern Mexico. The quake struck 75 miles

:34:51. > :34:52.off the Pacific coast, But buildings shook in Mexico City

:34:53. > :34:56.hundreds of miles away. There are no reports so far of any

:34:57. > :35:09.major damage or casualties. At least two people are dead. The

:35:10. > :35:14.Pacific tsunami warning Centre said tsunami waves were hitting Mexico.

:35:15. > :35:18.The biggest being more than two feet and more hazardous waves could be

:35:19. > :35:20.possible within the next three hours. That is for the coast of

:35:21. > :35:22.Mexico and surrounding countries. Young offenders from ethnic

:35:23. > :35:23.minority backgrounds will become "the next generation" of adult

:35:24. > :35:26.criminals unless the justice system is reformed, according to a review

:35:27. > :35:29.led by the MP David Lammy. The report makes more

:35:30. > :35:31.than 30 recommendations including allowing some prosecutions to be

:35:32. > :35:33.deferred or even dropped if suspects get treatment for issues such

:35:34. > :35:50.as drug or alcohol problems. We have now created a situation in

:35:51. > :35:55.our country where 41% of our youth prison system, that's people as

:35:56. > :35:59.young as ten and as old as 18, is from a black or minority ethnic

:36:00. > :36:02.background. That's more than double the amount of black and ethnic

:36:03. > :36:09.minority young people in our country. That is a significant

:36:10. > :36:13.issue. It suggests our adult prison population will grow, as well, if we

:36:14. > :36:16.do not try and do something about it.

:36:17. > :36:19.The government is accusing Labour of a "cynical" attempt to block

:36:20. > :36:23.The bill paves the way for leaving the European Union in March 2019.

:36:24. > :36:26.Labour and other opposition parties have promised to vote

:36:27. > :36:28.against it next week insisting it gives sweeping powers to ministers

:36:29. > :36:32.The Brexit secretary David Davis claimed Britons "will not forgive"

:36:33. > :36:34.Labour if they try to "delay or destroy" the process

:36:35. > :36:40.A 13-year-old girl from Somerset, whose organs were donated

:36:41. > :36:42.after her death, has saved or transformed the lives

:36:43. > :36:45.of eight patients - that's a record for a single donor

:36:46. > :36:50.Jemima Layzell collapsed with a brain aneurysm and died four

:36:51. > :36:55.Five of the patients who received life-saving transplants

:36:56. > :37:07.Jemima's story is part of an NHS campaign appealing for more donors.

:37:10. > :37:13.Work on the ship has been halted for the naval tradition

:37:14. > :37:15.which dates back thousands of years and combines a celebration

:37:16. > :37:19.The naming will be carried out by the Duchess of Cornwall,

:37:31. > :37:34.will you be looking out of the window?

:37:35. > :37:36.The passengers on board this journey in Germany were treated

:37:37. > :37:44.Men on ladders saluting the train, running trees in a nearby field

:37:45. > :37:51.It's all part of a theatrical show called 'Moving Countryside'

:37:52. > :38:04.They are doing stuff alongside the track to give people a bit of

:38:05. > :38:07.theatre, including releasing cars, and all sorts of mad stuff.

:38:08. > :38:09.The performances are designed to bring the city

:38:10. > :38:13.Think about that when you are travelling into work this morning.

:38:14. > :38:14.That would be all right. Sarah will have the weather

:38:15. > :38:21.in around 10 minutes' We've shed a tear with her

:38:27. > :38:28.Davina McCall is tackling the issues of mental health,

:38:29. > :38:30.stress and parenting - she'll be on the sofa

:38:31. > :38:33.to tell us why. We're in Morecambe as part

:39:49. > :39:55.morning on 46 for 4. There will be two new faces

:39:56. > :39:58.in the women's US Open final. Unseeded Sloane Stephens,

:39:59. > :40:00.held her nerve, overnight to beat Venus Williams,

:40:01. > :40:02.in three sets in New York. The defeat means 37-year old Venus,

:40:03. > :40:05.misses out, on returning, to the US Open final,

:40:06. > :40:19.15 years after her last. I was not playing well. Just wasn't

:40:20. > :40:23.playing well. There are moments when you have to dig deep, think about

:40:24. > :40:27.how to get the ball on the court. I have a big game. I can't be

:40:28. > :40:32.tentative and figure out how to put the ball in. I have figured a lot.

:40:33. > :40:36.She played great defence. I have not played in a long time. She has seen

:40:37. > :40:42.me play many times, but I have not seen her play as much. -- issue has

:40:43. > :40:46.not played in a long time. I'm super happy to be in a grand slam final.

:40:47. > :40:53.To do it in my home slam makes it more special. It's what every player

:40:54. > :41:00.dreams about. Fortunately but unfortunately I have to play Venus,

:41:01. > :41:04.but having four Americans in this position in the tournament says a

:41:05. > :41:05.lot about Americans and where we are now.

:41:06. > :41:08.Waiting for Sloane Stephens in the final, will be fellow

:41:26. > :41:28.at the Vuelta a Espana, as he tries to become,

:41:29. > :41:30.only the third man ever, and the first Briton,

:41:31. > :41:33.to win the Vuelta and Tour de France double, in the same year.

:41:34. > :41:36.With two more stages to go, he's increased his lead over rival,

:41:37. > :41:38.Vincenzo Nibali, to over, a minute and a half.

:41:39. > :41:40.Meanwhile, things aren't going so well on the Tour

:41:41. > :41:43.Geraint Thomas could only finish eighth, on the ten

:41:44. > :41:45.mile individual time trial, in Clacton.

:41:46. > :41:47.That leaves him ninth overall, nineteen seconds behind Lars Boom,

:41:48. > :41:50.who won the stage to take the overall lead from

:41:51. > :42:03.It is getting to crunch time in the super league.

:42:04. > :42:06.St Helens kept their top 4 hopes, alive with a dramatic 18-16

:42:07. > :42:09.Jonnie Lomax, with the winning try with just three minutes remaining,

:42:10. > :42:13.Saints are up to 5th, one point behind Wakefield with 2 to play.

:42:14. > :42:17.We have seen the last of players like Oxlade-Chamberlain moving

:42:18. > :42:19.between Premier League clubs once the season has started. Clubs have

:42:20. > :42:24.voted to close next summer's transfer window before the campaign.

:42:25. > :42:28.It will close at 5pm on a Thursday evening before the first match

:42:29. > :42:31.begins. Manchester United at Manchester City were among five

:42:32. > :42:36.clubs who voted against the proposal. They said the window

:42:37. > :42:40.overseas remains the same. So players could be poached by the big

:42:41. > :42:44.European clubs after deadline. The English clubs would not have

:42:45. > :42:47.anywhere to go, they would not be able to buy any players.

:42:48. > :42:54.The fans can just focus on the football. No more nonsense about who

:42:55. > :42:59.wants to beware. Davina has joined us to talk about

:43:00. > :43:05.the transfer window. I have. The curtains closing over the window.

:43:06. > :43:19.What do you think? It's a good idea. Most clubs agree with you. We've had

:43:20. > :43:24.a vote. We said no feet. Their clean!

:43:25. > :43:28.What are you doing? You take off your shoes and socks to

:43:29. > :43:36.inspire the next generation to take it up. Why are you doing that?

:43:37. > :43:40.To inspire a younger audience. Nice shoes.

:43:41. > :43:46.Some people don't like other people's feet.

:43:47. > :43:50.They are clean. I don't mind, it is just a bit

:43:51. > :43:56.early. People are eating breakfast. I will put them back on.

:43:57. > :44:02.Thanks. You did not come here to talk about his feet.

:44:03. > :44:05.He didn't. You are a professional TV presenter, you can deal with all

:44:06. > :44:14.sorts of live situations. That's right. Off he goes. Causing chaos.

:44:15. > :44:21.Some people get the jitters with live television. You probably feel

:44:22. > :44:26.at home. I feel weird recording now. It feels odd and it takes hours.

:44:27. > :44:31.With live TV, once it is done it is done. And when you record they want

:44:32. > :44:36.it to be absolutely perfect. Yes, you have to keep doing it again.

:44:37. > :44:39.When it is live it is done. Would you like an official introduction?

:44:40. > :44:42.Yes. A familiar face on the small screen,

:44:43. > :44:45.Davina McCall began her career on MTV before going on to present

:44:46. > :44:48.the cult hit Streetmate and then consoling and celebrating

:44:49. > :44:51.with the housemates of Big Brother. More recently we've seen her

:44:52. > :45:03.reuniting family members Now you have a new programme. I

:45:04. > :45:10.don't know how to describe it. It's weird. A discussion programme? It

:45:11. > :45:15.feels self-indulgent. I wanted to go for Arendse on various life topics.

:45:16. > :45:20.And get a mixture of people who were trying to deal with those topics and

:45:21. > :45:25.expert in that field. -- I wanted to go for a mixture on various life

:45:26. > :45:27.topics. Part of what you are trying to do is have enough time. There is

:45:28. > :45:42.no three-minute segments. It is a look at a topic for an hour.

:45:43. > :45:45.It was mental health on Monday, we had some amazing, jaw-dropping

:45:46. > :45:51.contributors. There was a man called Jake who had attempted to take his

:45:52. > :45:54.own life, and threw it had just learned so brilliantly and

:45:55. > :45:58.eloquently how to talk about his experience and is now going around

:45:59. > :46:03.the country sharing to try to help other people. It all sounds so

:46:04. > :46:09.worthy but he was such an amazing man. It is difficult to describe,

:46:10. > :46:11.but we can show. We will let the clip do the talking.

:46:12. > :46:13.These are stats on stigma and discrimination from

:46:14. > :46:15.the Annual British Social Attitudes Survey.

:46:16. > :46:18.44% of people would feel uncomfortable working with someone

:46:19. > :46:19.who's experienced symptoms of psychosis

:46:20. > :46:23.they wouldn't feel comfortable having someone with depression look

:46:24. > :46:36.And the only way you can get rid of ignorance,

:46:37. > :46:39.and the only way you can get rid of stigma, is by teaching

:46:40. > :46:44.Can I ask you something, do you go and talk places...?

:46:45. > :46:48.Don't you think it's like listening to the Dalai Lama of mental health?

:46:49. > :47:14.You obviously meet some great characters, but once you do really

:47:15. > :47:19.had to quit open up, and some familiar faces as well. Doctor

:47:20. > :47:25.Christian was on last week and we had such an amazing talk on Twitter

:47:26. > :47:31.afterwards and during the show about perfectionism, which is something

:47:32. > :47:34.that is really so raw at the moment with everybody on social media all

:47:35. > :47:39.the time posting pictures of themselves, which I am also

:47:40. > :47:44.extremely guilty of doing. Guilty, or do you just do? Is it something

:47:45. > :47:48.to be guilty about? On Instagram I will endlessly post pictures or

:47:49. > :47:53.films of myself with no make-up on after a run when I am sweating

:47:54. > :47:57.terribly or whatever, but I do take 30 pictures of myself sometimes then

:47:58. > :48:03.choose the best one before posting it, and do I say that? No. Should I

:48:04. > :48:08.start saying this is one of 30? Maybe.

:48:09. > :48:12.You cover the quest for perfectionism and mental health, you

:48:13. > :48:17.look at self-esteem issues as well... Happiness. All issues you

:48:18. > :48:21.could quite justifiably say, I know about tackling these. It has been

:48:22. > :48:25.well documented and you have spoken about it before, your addictions,

:48:26. > :48:28.your difficulties and your transformation into being very

:48:29. > :48:35.focused on health and being fit. How much of this programme is about

:48:36. > :48:39.you...? All of it. It was my idea, my baby, and in a way, I guess it

:48:40. > :48:43.was slightly self-indulgent because I was thinking be fantastic for me

:48:44. > :48:47.because I will learn so much. But I hope that in the process of me

:48:48. > :48:52.having the best time ever making a TV show that everybody else will

:48:53. > :48:57.learn something. In recording it I learnt so much, but then in watching

:48:58. > :49:00.it back I have learned even more, it is one of those shows where you

:49:01. > :49:04.could have recorded an watch maybe three or four times and keep

:49:05. > :49:09.learning you take something away every time you see it.

:49:10. > :49:13.I have always called myself a work in progress, for anybody else on a

:49:14. > :49:17.journey of self-discovery, this will be the programme for you. And

:49:18. > :49:20.anybody that does not want to learn anything about yourselves, you might

:49:21. > :49:25.just pick something up. It is funny meeting you, Divina, I

:49:26. > :49:30.feel like I almost know you because you are on telly so much. You are a

:49:31. > :49:35.very good listener, I was watching you listening to Naga, you are one

:49:36. > :49:41.of those very positive listeners, that is a big thing, but also, are

:49:42. > :49:44.you a big... I think you wear your heart on your sleeve, how do you

:49:45. > :49:49.resist hugging all the people you speak to who have problems, are you

:49:50. > :49:53.the kind of person who normally instinctively does that? I do like

:49:54. > :50:01.hoax, but I have also tried to learn to ask if somebody wants one. -- I

:50:02. > :50:05.do like a serve. Sometimes I think I know if somebody wants a hug, but

:50:06. > :50:10.sometimes you need to feel what you are feeling without me making you

:50:11. > :50:19.feel better. In Long Lost Family there raw emotions. Occasionally I

:50:20. > :50:25.say, would you like a hug? Because I say I can't quite read this. If

:50:26. > :50:29.somebody goes, I'm OK, I'll go, OK. How much did your family history

:50:30. > :50:35.affect you on that job? It has been spoken about your history with your

:50:36. > :50:44.mum, your sister? My sister passing away, whenever I have a sister story

:50:45. > :50:48.on Long Lost Family I am so happy, I always think, what a gift to be

:50:49. > :50:52.given a sister out of the blue. Whenever somebody says to me would

:50:53. > :50:56.you change anything about your life, I really wouldn't, because all of my

:50:57. > :51:00.experiences in my life, I am definitely not a victim, I see

:51:01. > :51:03.myself as a very positive person who has used everything that has

:51:04. > :51:07.happened to me in a positive way, but that maybe makes me empathise

:51:08. > :51:15.with people, which is good for what I do.

:51:16. > :51:18.Are you going on a bit of a run this weekend? I am going on a run,

:51:19. > :51:21.people! I am doing the Great North Run on Sunday. I am really nervous,

:51:22. > :51:27.I had a calf injury about two weeks ago and I am praying it will hold

:51:28. > :51:32.out. Have you done before? No. Is this the longest you have done? I

:51:33. > :51:36.did a couple of marathons when I did the Sport Relief challenge, when I

:51:37. > :51:45.was on this programme daily sobbing, every day when I did that. Look at

:51:46. > :51:50.that! Every day I was on this show, weeping. The Great North Run is 13.1

:51:51. > :51:55.miles, a half marathon, it should be really good. Really good fun, I have

:51:56. > :52:00.heard Newcastle is amazing. Is your calf OK? I don't know. You are not

:52:01. > :52:02.training, you are giving it a rest. Sensible. Good luck. A lovely to see

:52:03. > :52:11.you. The Davina Hour is on the W channel

:52:12. > :52:15.on Monday at 9pm. Here's Sarah with a look

:52:16. > :52:24.at this morning's weather. Low pressure dominating things, this

:52:25. > :52:29.is the scene in Norfolk this morning, Gorleston on Sea, you can

:52:30. > :52:34.see lots of cloud. You will see brightness breaking through the

:52:35. > :52:39.clouds. Low pressure will sit to the North west of the UK. They will be

:52:40. > :52:43.drawing and plenty of shallots, these clouds, and longer spells of

:52:44. > :52:47.rain across parts of south Wales and southern England later. Further

:52:48. > :52:50.north, a little bit more brightness in between showers, particularly for

:52:51. > :52:54.eastern Scotland through the morning and sheltered easterly parts of

:52:55. > :52:58.Northern Ireland. Some of the showers could be slow moving through

:52:59. > :53:01.the afternoon, with the thunderstorm, particularly across

:53:02. > :53:09.central Scotland, where we are likely to see lying surface water

:53:10. > :53:11.with the heavy downpours and thunderstorms. A similar picture for

:53:12. > :53:14.Northern Ireland, fairly breezy with a mix of bright intervals and plenty

:53:15. > :53:17.of showers, a few showers creeping into northern England in the

:53:18. > :53:21.Midlands, some sunshine in between and temperatures around 16 or 17 at

:53:22. > :53:25.best, feeling cooler in the breeze and with the outbreaks of rain

:53:26. > :53:28.towards London, Sussex and the Isle of Wight.

:53:29. > :53:33.Perhaps a more brightness towards the south-west breaking through the

:53:34. > :53:36.afternoon, but still some showers and quite blustery.

:53:37. > :53:40.This evening and overnight, we will continue to see blustery showers for

:53:41. > :53:43.many northern and western parts, further east, slightly lighter winds

:53:44. > :53:47.and drier weather. It will turn chilly first thing on Saturday,

:53:48. > :53:52.still looking at double figures in the towns and cities but it could be

:53:53. > :53:56.a bit colder in the countryside. Many of us wake up to sunshine on

:53:57. > :54:00.Saturday, particularly central and eastern parts. Further west, we

:54:01. > :54:04.already have showers which become more bright -- widespread as they

:54:05. > :54:09.thought eastwards later in the day. Not a complete wash-out on Saturday,

:54:10. > :54:11.temperatures generally in the mid to high teens.

:54:12. > :54:15.Onto the second half of the weekend we start to see though showers ease

:54:16. > :54:20.away Saturday night, a small ridge of high pressure. It does not stick

:54:21. > :54:24.around too long on Sunday, the next weather system works in from the

:54:25. > :54:27.Atlantic. Sunday should start a dry and across

:54:28. > :54:30.parts of eastern England we could keep the sunshine for part of the

:54:31. > :54:34.day at least, but wet and windy weather moves on from the western

:54:35. > :54:40.spread eastwards through the day, bringing us, all in all, a fairly

:54:41. > :54:44.unsettled and autumnal weekend. Thank you very, very much.

:54:45. > :54:46.The smell of the sea, the taste of fish and chips,

:54:47. > :54:48.and breathtaking views, there's always been something

:54:49. > :54:51.about the seaside which has drawn many of us to the coast.

:54:52. > :54:56.When icy that beach, we're talking about things that make you feel

:54:57. > :55:02.good, I think sitting on a beach like that, cheese and pickle

:55:03. > :55:08.sandwich and a quality Scotch egg, it doesn't matter. It could rain,

:55:09. > :55:12.whatever. Scotch egg? I will go with you with this project, not the

:55:13. > :55:19.cheese and pickle sandwich. That would be a happy family. I would

:55:20. > :55:21.want something hot, fish and chips, why not?

:55:22. > :55:23.As part of our Coastal Britain series, Breakfast's John Maguire

:55:24. > :55:27.is taking a trip down memory lane in Morecambe for us this morning.

:55:28. > :55:32.It is absolutely lovely there this morning.

:55:33. > :55:36.Good morning, John. Good morning, Naga. Marvellous Morecambe really

:55:37. > :55:40.has looked after us, the weather has improved hugely. Cheese and pickle

:55:41. > :55:44.sandwiches, scotch eggs? Most people eat fish and chips on the beach,

:55:45. > :55:48.don't they, but each to their own. There is the nostalgic link with the

:55:49. > :55:52.past, something about the seaside, weather it takes us back to

:55:53. > :56:03.childhood innocent days, holidays, the feel of the sand between your

:56:04. > :56:05.toes, the call of the goals, the sound of the ocean. Something

:56:06. > :56:08.magical looking back. It is important for resorts to survive to

:56:09. > :56:10.look forward. We will start by looking back, way back.

:56:11. > :56:13.The past, not a different country but a British seaside town.

:56:14. > :56:19.It's 1901 and just look at how busy it is.

:56:20. > :56:22.This footage has recently been released online

:56:23. > :56:24.by the British Film Institute, one of 160 films from around

:56:25. > :56:31.It shows hordes of holiday-makers and day-trippers.

:56:32. > :56:35.These are the early days of mass tourism.

:56:36. > :56:37.Jacqueline and Derek Osborne have made the long drive north

:56:38. > :56:46.from their home in Essex each summer for the past 30 years.

:56:47. > :56:48.The feeling we had then, it wasn't brilliant, was it?

:56:49. > :56:52.It always looked like it had seen better days but in subsequent years

:56:53. > :56:59.Certainly over the last ten to 15 years it's improved.

:57:00. > :57:05.I love the shopping, I like the scenery as well.

:57:06. > :57:10.Your sister, Doris, she is 90 now and she likes the seafront

:57:11. > :57:13.because it's lovely and flat and it's easy for me to push

:57:14. > :57:20.Looking back when Lee and Andrew used to come along the rock

:57:21. > :57:23.pools with us on holiday, he liked to climb on the rock pools

:57:24. > :57:25.and falling over and cutting himself badly that time,

:57:26. > :57:33.And what is it about the seaside that draws people back,

:57:34. > :57:39.Researchers at the University of Central Lancashire

:57:40. > :57:45.Now we're suddenly starting to get data in that nostalgia is good

:57:46. > :57:48.for us, it makes us feel better, it's a great antidote to the stress

:57:49. > :57:52.of everyday life so we want to say to what extent it does impact

:57:53. > :57:58.upon people's well-being and potentially to their health.

:57:59. > :58:00.The seaside is a perfect place for that because the seaside

:58:01. > :58:06.is something that doesn't change and can trigger nostalgic memories.

:58:07. > :58:09.Last weekend, Morecambe was packed to the gunwales with around 40,000

:58:10. > :58:14.people here for the vintage by the sea festival.

:58:15. > :58:20.The designer Wayne Hemingway, born and bred here,

:58:21. > :58:25.There's a massive movement for British people especially

:58:26. > :58:28.the young to rediscover the British seaside, it's four of them forward

:58:29. > :58:36.thinking, people want to come here and it to be busy.

:58:37. > :58:40.All round the country there are coastal events springing up.

:58:41. > :58:43.Nostalgia is part of it because it brings the intergenerational thing

:58:44. > :58:47.and to bring that kind of busy feeling back to a coastal town,

:58:48. > :58:55.we can start to bring the coastline back again.

:58:56. > :58:58.So the big challenge for many of our seaside

:58:59. > :59:02.to celebrate and conserve the best of the past while also

:59:03. > :59:13.We will pick up on that point in a moment, but first let's say hello to

:59:14. > :59:16.some of your coastal champions. Good morning. We will talk to them in a

:59:17. > :59:21.second, but considering that themes you are talking about in the film,

:59:22. > :59:26.joined by Doctor David Gerrit from the University of Central Lancashire

:59:27. > :59:29.and Matt Smith from the Centre For Entrepreneurs. We have a street

:59:30. > :59:34.sweeper in the background, thanks to the Council for making sure it looks

:59:35. > :59:40.prim and proper. What is the secret to try and ensure there is a future

:59:41. > :59:43.for places like this? I think you need to retain what

:59:44. > :59:47.makes the seaside special, the sense of being like the seaside, heritage,

:59:48. > :59:54.places like the Winter Gardens which you can see in Morecambe, along with

:59:55. > :59:57.facilities which modern day consumers expect. You work with what

:59:58. > :00:02.you've got, you work with the Ukraine and bring it up to the

:00:03. > :00:08.standards of modern day. You retain your sense of place, your unique

:00:09. > :00:16.selling points. We like to think we are more discerning these days. What

:00:17. > :00:23.role still entrepreneurs play? About they will bring investment to the

:00:24. > :00:27.towns. They rely on investment from the public sector, the peers,

:00:28. > :00:33.promenades and Internet connections, but the entrepreneurs will create

:00:34. > :00:38.jobs and improve the area and attract tourists. Let's mix of our

:00:39. > :00:49.coastal champions, firstly fog, Carol and the dog. Charlie looks

:00:50. > :00:56.very happy. Fog is a national coast watch and... Volunteer, why did you

:00:57. > :01:01.nominate him? I was out walking Charlie, my sister's trained support

:01:02. > :01:07.dog. I collapsed and Charlie Bach for help, as support dogs are

:01:08. > :01:10.trained to do. Luckily the National coast watch institutions or what

:01:11. > :01:15.have happened because they keep an eye on a stammer and they came down

:01:16. > :01:17.to make sure I am OK, that I did not need any help and they helped me get

:01:18. > :01:31.home safely. Why do you do it? I retired early.

:01:32. > :01:36.After spending a year of playing golf and doing not a lot else I got

:01:37. > :01:40.bored and by chance I heard an advert on radio Lancaster for

:01:41. > :01:43.volunteers to join the national coast watch. I made enquiries. It

:01:44. > :01:48.looked like something I would enjoy and possibly would help me get back

:01:49. > :01:56.into the community. That is why I enjoy it. Thank you. We have

:01:57. > :02:03.volunteers from the Winter Gardens. It's one of the most iconic

:02:04. > :02:06.buildings in the town. We have Cedric here. As well as Dave and Jan

:02:07. > :02:16.who have just come up from the Wirral. You call yourself the New

:02:17. > :02:19.Brightoners. What do you do? With clear the beach of litter. We have

:02:20. > :02:28.over 1000 members on Facebook. It's brilliant. One of our members, Wayne

:02:29. > :02:34.Dixon and his dog, is cleaning around the coast of Britain. He is

:02:35. > :02:41.taking a few years to do that. We have the people who started it, the

:02:42. > :02:46.Roberts, they started it. You have lots of volunteers. Yes. And I

:02:47. > :02:52.imagine it is nice to get out and have a walk on the beach? We love

:02:53. > :02:57.the beach. We love that environment. We like to keep it clean. Trying to

:02:58. > :03:02.keep all of the rubbish out of the oceans, as well, because it can kill

:03:03. > :03:07.animals. Plastics can be eaten. It's a real problem. It would be great if

:03:08. > :03:11.people could stop dropping it, then we wouldn't have to keep going round

:03:12. > :03:19.picking it up. Absolutely. Good point. We like to keep it clean on

:03:20. > :03:27.Breakfast. Why is the title Michael Winter Gardens such an important

:03:28. > :03:31.building? -- why is the winter Gardens such an important building?

:03:32. > :03:37.I'm one of the volunteers. It's improving over time. The more

:03:38. > :03:40.publicity it gets, the more people use it, the better it will be,

:03:41. > :03:45.because then we get a bit of money, we spend a bit of money, and we can

:03:46. > :03:54.do the alterations. It's good for someone like me to work in a

:03:55. > :03:59.building like that and to work with retired professional builders. It's

:04:00. > :04:02.really good. It keeps you off the streets. Off the streets, keeps me

:04:03. > :04:07.busy, and I'm still learning. You and me both. Thanks everybody for

:04:08. > :04:12.talking. Thank you for your contributions. That is how they

:04:13. > :04:16.became our coastal champions here this morning. We had a wonderful

:04:17. > :04:29.morning. It's rounded up the series very nicely.

:04:30. > :04:35.From Morecambe, back to you guys in the studio.

:04:36. > :04:39.Some great champions. And Charlie the dog the star. Absolutely

:04:40. > :04:42.gorgeous. Thanks very much.

:04:43. > :04:46.We'll be speaking to Rick Astley in a moment but first a last,

:04:47. > :06:25.No, I'm not, that's it for this where you are this morning.

:06:26. > :06:26.No, I'm not, that's it for this morning.

:06:27. > :06:28.Now though it's back to Charlie and Naga.

:06:29. > :06:35.Tomorrow night the Manchester Arena, the site of the horrific terror

:06:36. > :06:37.attack in May which claimed 22 lives, will officially reopen.

:06:38. > :06:40.The venue will host a special benefit concert to honour those

:06:41. > :06:42.affected and will feature bands including Noel Gallagher's

:06:43. > :06:44.High Flying Birds, The Courteeners and Blossoms -

:06:45. > :07:03.along with our next guest, the singer Rick Astley.

:07:04. > :07:14.Good morning. How did you get involved? Like most people I got an

:07:15. > :07:20.e-mail. I instantly said yes when asked. I'm not from Manchester. But

:07:21. > :07:25.it's where I went to my first gig, it's where I bought my first record,

:07:26. > :07:30.I went to that town for everything. It is a place people have an

:07:31. > :07:35.affinity with, especially with music. Absolutely. It has a rich

:07:36. > :07:40.history of music. Just a great city. I still get excited about coming to

:07:41. > :07:45.Manchester. And the venue we will be in tomorrow night, I have sung there

:07:46. > :07:55.80 times normal circumstances. But I've also opened up for Peter Kay

:07:56. > :08:02.there. -- I have sung there a queue times in normal circumstances. Have

:08:03. > :08:07.you done concerts before? I've done a few.

:08:08. > :08:12.CHUCKLES What I meant was, you've done in

:08:13. > :08:19.events like this which are marking loss of life, and that is the reason

:08:20. > :08:23.people are there. At the same time, everybody wanted to be a

:08:24. > :08:29.celebration. You guys will still perform, the crowds will enjoy what

:08:30. > :08:34.they see. Absolutely. That the venue has had some amazing artists from

:08:35. > :08:39.all over the world, and play there. That has to keep going. It was

:08:40. > :08:43.absolutely terrible. There are no words for what happened. But

:08:44. > :08:48.positive light has to be shown sometimes for us to get through

:08:49. > :08:53.things. I think it's great that there will be an evening of

:08:54. > :08:58.fantastic music, hopefully, and, you know, to celebrate. To get people

:08:59. > :09:05.connected again. I was in Manchester the gig went on at the old -- Old

:09:06. > :09:08.Trafford Cricket ground. The atmosphere was amazing. I was

:09:09. > :09:11.worried about being in Manchester, not because of the reason, but

:09:12. > :09:19.because of the mood. But it was amazing. It was incredible. It's

:09:20. > :09:23.terrible things, you know, something like that brought everybody together

:09:24. > :09:27.in such a special way, but I do think people have the get together

:09:28. > :09:33.and figures positively. Have you done any rehearsals at the venue?

:09:34. > :09:39.No. He's done a few gigs before, you know?

:09:40. > :09:43.Has he really? I don't spend my days sitting on the beach eating cheese

:09:44. > :09:58.and pickle sandwiches and Scott X. Fish and chips, I said. -- and

:09:59. > :10:02.Scotch eggs. Isn't that what Alan Partridge eats? He comes here with

:10:03. > :10:11.his big ideas. Prawn sandwich, maybe. You have not rehearsed but

:10:12. > :10:17.you have been gigging. Yes. We have been gigging a lot. I'm comfortable

:10:18. > :10:24.that it's going to be a fun night and a great night. You mentioned

:10:25. > :10:29.some of the bands, it'll be a great line-up, great songs. Old and new

:10:30. > :10:35.from you? I have to do some old ones. One of the things which makes

:10:36. > :10:42.me realise I am getting older, I remember all of the music. Our

:10:43. > :10:48.producers don't. Wow. OK. They are quite young. But we can remind them

:10:49. > :11:02.and show them what they missed. # And if you ask me how I'm feeling

:11:03. > :11:15.# Never gonna give you up never gonna let you down

:11:16. > :11:20.# Never gonna make you cry #. You have not changed. You are a

:11:21. > :11:27.lovely woman. Nice clothes. People are wearing that now. The clothes

:11:28. > :11:34.then had their time. And the certain sounds in the music. You can hear

:11:35. > :11:39.the new bands zoning into them. Do you know any of the other bands who

:11:40. > :11:45.are playing? I don't. You know when bands do a song together? Yes. Are

:11:46. > :11:50.you backstage, do you ask each other, do you want to join me? That

:11:51. > :12:07.happens sometimes. I did a festival last week. Charlene from Texas sang

:12:08. > :12:18.Highway To Hell. She was amazing. I like doing covers. You got out with

:12:19. > :12:25.the -- you got up with the Foo Fighters. I did. We wanted to see

:12:26. > :12:36.them anyway. We were at the side of the stage. Lo and behold, David

:12:37. > :12:48.Grohl port Vale to the stage. I had never met them. It was amazing. I

:12:49. > :12:57.like their version of Never Gonna Give You Up. It was amazing. Maybe

:12:58. > :13:01.people who are going to turn up will hear something they never expected.

:13:02. > :13:09.I'm really looking forward to seeing Noel Gallagher. I like his new

:13:10. > :13:14.stuff. I liked Oasis, as well. It's a great line-up. There will be great

:13:15. > :13:19.bands. It'll be a terrific occasion. Will he rehearse at some point

:13:20. > :13:28.tomorrow? You've got to leave it for the stage. I will have a Scotch egg

:13:29. > :13:32.first. And prawn sandwich! I don't want to go overboard. It has been a

:13:33. > :13:33.pleasure having you. Thanks very much.

:13:34. > :13:37.Rick will be performing at the We Are Manchester concert
