Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Naga | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
More than one million people have been hit by Hurricane Irma | :00:09. | :00:14. | |
The British Virgin Islands are the latest to report major | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
The Governor declares a state of emergency. | :00:19. | :00:25. | |
All of us have been afflicted by Hurricane Irma, some more mothers. | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
Apart from the structural damage there have been reports of | :00:33. | :00:33. | |
casualties and fatalities. It's predicted another 26 million | :00:34. | :00:34. | |
people are at risk from the giant Major tourism areas in Cuba | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
and Florida are being evacuated. The UK government promises ?32 | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
million to help with the clean-up operation and deploys troops | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
and ships to the area. Also this morning: a warning of race | :00:46. | :01:01. | |
bias in the British justice system. A government-backed report says | :01:02. | :01:12. | |
prosecution against some offenders In the last few hours pilots working | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
for Thomas Cook Airlines have It's the first industrial action | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
by UK pilots in 40 years. I'll be asking the airline's boss | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
and the pilot's union In sport, Big Ben is still striking, | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
at Lord's at least. Ben Stokes takes six wickets | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
on a crazy day at Lord's, with both the West Indies and then | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
England suffering batting collapses, Hello from marvellous Morecambe. | :01:37. | :01:50. | |
Once the daylight arrives, you will see that the breakfast chair is here | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
for its final hurrah after the tour around it and's coasts. We will be | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
looking back, Peter Thomson forward, to the future of our seaside towns. | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
And Sarah has the weather. And unsettled day today with lots of | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
lost three showers around. I will bring you all the details of the | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
forecast here in the UK, as well as Hurricane Irma and where it is | :02:15. | :02:15. | |
heading next, in about 15 minutes. The path of destruction brought | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
by Hurricane Irma has now affected more than 1 million people | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
across the Caribbean. At least 14 people have been killed, | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
and a state of emergency has been declared on the British | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
Virgin Islands. Overnight, the British Overseas | :02:29. | :02:37. | |
Territory of Turks and Caicos has been pummelled by the storm, | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
leaving tourists and residents The hurricane is projected to move | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
across to the Bahamas and Cuba where mass evacuations are underway, | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
before it reaches Florida This is what it is like to look out | :02:48. | :02:56. | |
of your hotel room in the Turks and K course, knowing that one of the | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
strongest storms in recent memory is coming your way. -- Caicos. We could | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
start to hear the noise all around us. We are not even close to the | :03:04. | :03:11. | |
worst bits yet, which is a bit scary. On the British Virgin Islands | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
there have been an unknown number of deaths, with Communications severely | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
disrupted, the governor issued this audio message declaring a state of | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
emergency. All of us have been afflicted by Hurricane Irma, some | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
more than others. Apart from the structural damage they have sadly | :03:31. | :03:32. | |
been reports of casualties and fatalities. I am truly heartbroken | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
by this news. My thoughts and prayers are with each and every one | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
of you. At least one person is believed to have died on the British | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
territory of Anguilla, where residents sheltered in the strongest | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
parts of their homes for safety. We were in the bath with a mattress | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
above us. That is how we managed to keep safe and dry. I think a lot of | :03:55. | :04:02. | |
people were in a similar situation. We have seen houses with cars that | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
have been just picked up and thrown through the house. Barbuda was one | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
of the first items to be hit by Hurricane Irma. It is now less than | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
48 hours away from the impact of a second hurricane. Hurricane Jose has | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
sustained wind speeds of 120 mph and it looks likely to gain industry | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
over the next day or two. -- gain in strength. | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
Let's find out more about the impact the hurricane is having. | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
We can now speak to Simon Cross, who moved to the British Virgin | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
Islands two years ago from Essex, and is in Tortola this morning. | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
Hello, good morning. Obviously it is the early hours of the morning at | :04:42. | :04:53. | |
the moment. It is pretty quiet. You can hear the odd tractor in the | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
distance, hopefully performing the function of clearing the roads. | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
There is plenty of debris and trees and really the only method of | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
getting around anyway here is by car, it is a mountainous island and | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
you can't really do anything without a car. So it is important to us that | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
the roads are clear and the place is safe. Earlier today when we manage | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
to go to town to try to check up on things, it is not great, the | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
properties are in a terrible state at the moment. Just hoping someone | :05:28. | :05:38. | |
be done overnight. In truth, it feels like the islanders on its to | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
be honest. The last thing we want is any sort of doubt whether, let alone | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
a category three or whatever Hurricane Jose is supposed to be. | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
Can you tell us what it was like when Hurricane Irma hit? We are | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
seeing pictures of rulings devastated and we have heard | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
horrific stories of people holding onto doors as the doors are being | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
blown through. Can you tell us what it was like, the ferocity as it hit | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
the buildings? Yeah, in our house it started, the major warning was when | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
a skylight was blown off the roof. You could hear the wind blasting | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
through the upstairs of the house, and at that point we thought maybe | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
the roof was going to go. That was our main indicator to get downstairs | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
into the basement, the most secure part of the building. We have a | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
metal shutters that had been secured, and I had been pulling them | :06:33. | :06:40. | |
around and had a lot of confidence they would protect the building, but | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
the next thing you know they were ripped off the French doors which | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
were project in us -- protecting us. Ten minutes later the other one went | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
off the other set of doors. So it was completely exposed. There were | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
missiles from three or debris or whatever, just penetrating through | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
there, and fortunately nothing happened. They held firm. But when | :07:02. | :07:12. | |
the eye came its sort of gave us a half-time to re-evaluate and see | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
what we could do in the meantime. So myself and the family rushed | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
upstairs and did our best to put some timber over the skylights to | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
try to prevent the wind from getting under the roof. We just about | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
managed to do that and complete that before the second half came, at | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
which point we rushed back downstairs to our original position | :07:37. | :07:45. | |
in the basement. The wind was scary, we all ended up of link together in | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
the adjoining bathroom. -- huddling together. It had a small window but | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
that was protected by metal shutters, so that was the safest | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
spot. Fortunately the mahogany French doors managed to hold. The | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
wind was like nothing I have ever known in my life. It was crazy. It | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
sounds absolutely terrifying. Simon, we wish you and your family well. | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
Thank you for the time you have taken to speak to us. | :08:12. | :08:13. | |
The government has come in for criticism for its response | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
to the disaster, with it labelled "inadequate" by islanders. | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
Let's get more detail now from our news correspondent | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
Andy Moore, who is outside the Foreign Office for | :08:22. | :08:23. | |
What picture is emerging from what has been done, or maybe what has not | :08:24. | :08:33. | |
been done? First of all, the government has earmarked ?32 million | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
in disaster relief. Then there are the military assets which are either | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
in the region or on their way. There is a royal Fleet auxiliary ship, | :08:42. | :08:48. | |
Mounts Bay, which is off Anguilla. That has a helicopter on-board, | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
earthmoving equipment, release supplies. Then we have the first | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
element task group heading out from RAF rise Norton this morning. -- | :08:57. | :09:04. | |
Brize Norton. Apple engineers, Doctors, soldiers. Then we have a | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
helicopter carrier on the way from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean. | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
The critics are saying this is too little, too late, especially compare | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
to the relief efforts mounted by France, the Netherlands and United | :09:19. | :09:20. | |
States, which also have territories and the Caribbean. Andy, thank you. | :09:21. | :09:31. | |
Young offenders from ethnic minority backgrounds will become the next | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
generation of criminals unless the justice system is reformed, | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
according to a review by David Lammy. | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
The inquiry commissioned by the Government, makes | :09:40. | :09:40. | |
These include allowing some prosecutions to be deferred, | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
or even dropped, if suspects get treatment for issues such as drug | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
Noel Williams was 11 years old when he first got involved in gangs. By | :09:48. | :09:55. | |
the age of 13 he was imprisoned for robberies and drug dealing. I am in | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
and out of the system. I was in there three times. Lots of lingos | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
on, and there is a lack of prison staff, so they don't pick up on | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
certain things. People are self harming. If they aren't cutting | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
their arms they are trying to kill themselves. He has turned his life | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
around, but he believes that race and ethnicity plays a part in how | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
you are treated and punished within the criminal justice system. It is | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
unjust, of course it is. If you look at the sentence as we get, they are | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
longer, they are harsher. People are coming out not rehabilitated. | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
Sometimes they are coming out and reoffending at an accelerated rate | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
than their counterparts. The David Lammy review makes a number of key | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
recommendations, such as removing identifying information about | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
ethnicity when cases are passed from police to prosecutors, so that | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
racial bias doesn't influence charging decisions. I am very | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
worried about our prison system, where I do think that there are | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
still prisons where it is clear there is overt discrimination going | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
on, and some of the treatment is just unacceptable. It is one of the | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
largest reviews of its kind, and highlights that radical reform is | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
urgently needed to bring fairness to the justice system. And after seven | :11:07. | :11:16. | |
o'clock we will be speaking to the report author, David Lammy. | :11:17. | :11:18. | |
The government is accusing Labour of a "cynical" attempt to block | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
The bill paves the way for leaving the European Union in March 2019. | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
Labour and other opposition parties have promised to vote against it | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
next week, insisting it gives sweeping powers to ministers | :11:30. | :11:31. | |
Our political correspondent Chris Mason joins us from | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
Chris, what can we expect from today? | :11:36. | :11:42. | |
Good morning. They really are. We have seen a summer of disagreements | :11:43. | :11:49. | |
between the government and Brussels. What we are now seeing is | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
disagreement bubbling up here in Westminster between different groups | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
of MPs, sometimes between the parties and sometimes within the | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
parties, over the flavour of Brexit, if you like, that we should end up | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
with, and how the whole process of delivering it should be scrutinised. | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
Labour said that the government's plans amounted to an unprecedented | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
power grab. Yesterday we were speaking about Henry VIII and those | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
Henry VIII powers to stop sufficient scrutiny, as some see it, of the | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
finer details. The government says that Labour are simply getting in | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
the way and are picking away at a rule that has existed for many | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
years, and was used for European legislation up until now anyway, in | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
terms of turning it into UK law. As I say, you have little breakout of | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
disagreement within parties, so yesterday, some Conservative MPs | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
wrote a letter they were planning to give to a Sunday newspaper, which | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
was leaked to the BBC, saying they didn't want to see the UK staying in | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
the EU by stealth. Then there was a response to that by some other malt | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
pro- European Conservatives, suggesting that letter was not | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
particularly helpful in negotiations. So the politics is | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
very much alive and well between the UK and Brussels, and now, once | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
again, unsurprisingly, it is alive and well here at Westminster as | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
well. The big vote comes up on Monday. I am sure we will talk about | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
that on Monday. Chris, thank you. We are just getting news of an | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
earthquake with a magnitude of 8.0 shaking southern Mexico. It is | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
struck off the Pacific coast of the country, rustling buildings in | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
Mexico City, which is hundreds of kilometres away. No reports so far | :13:33. | :13:35. | |
of damage or casualties. The Nobel prize winner, | :13:36. | :13:36. | |
Malala Yousafzai, has called on the leader of Myanamar, | :13:37. | :13:38. | |
Aung San Suu Kyi, to protect the country's Rohingya | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
Muslim minority. More than 160,000 Rohingyas have | :13:42. | :13:43. | |
fled to Bangladesh since unrest Ms Suu Kyi has been widely | :13:44. | :13:45. | |
criticised for failing to condemn A 13-year-old girl from Somerset | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
whose organs were donated after her death has saved | :13:50. | :13:56. | |
or transformed the lives of eight patients - a record | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
for a single donor in the UK. Jemima Layzell collapsed | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
with a brain aneurysm and died four Five of the patients who received | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
life-saving transplants Jemima's story is part of an NHS | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
campaign appealing for more donors. There are thousands of people | :14:12. | :14:22. | |
waiting for a transplant. Three people a day die. If you would be | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
willing to accept an organ you should be willing to donate an | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
organ, and that is what we are asking people to consider, and make | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
a decision that they will support organ donation. An amazing story. | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
Absolutely incredible. And some comfort for her family, after losing | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
her. And now Mike has the sport. Good morning. Reflecting on a crazy | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
day at Lord's, 14 wickets fell under darkening skies. This test series | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
between England and the West Indies has been such a rollercoaster, who | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
knows what will happen in the remaining few days. Big Ben, Ben | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
Stokes, he did the damage for England, but then England themselves | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
suffered a batting collapse. Let's toast Ben Stokes, first of all, | :15:06. | :15:07. | |
taking his career best tally. He helped dismiss the the Windies, | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
for just 123 in their first innings, but poor batting from his team-mates | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
means England have it all to do, There will be two new faces | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
in the women's US Open final. Unseeded Sloane Stephens | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
held her nerve to beat Venus Williams in three sets | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
and sets up a final against fellow We've seen the last of players | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
like Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain moving between Premier League clubs | :15:32. | :15:38. | |
once the season starts. Clubs have voted to close next | :15:39. | :15:40. | |
summer's transfer window It will close at 5pm | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
on the Thursday evening Manchester United and Manchester | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
City were among five clubs who voted Chris Froome has extended his lead | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
over Vincenzo Nibali after stage 18 The Team Sky rider now leads | :15:51. | :16:00. | |
by 1 minute, 37 seconds. There are two stages left before | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
Sunday's parade into Madrid. More on that later and some papers | :16:06. | :16:22. | |
in a moment. Will do that in a moment. Thanks, Mike. | :16:23. | :16:23. | |
Here's Sarah with a look at this morning's weather. | :16:24. | :16:25. | |
You're covering all sides of the Atlantic, we can't ignore what's | :16:26. | :16:33. | |
going on with hurricane and also hurricane Jose behind it? -- Harry | :16:34. | :16:41. | |
Kane Erma. It's not often we have three hurricanes. Hurricane catcher | :16:42. | :16:52. | |
is sitting east of Mexico. Katie. Hurricane hoser... Here's the | :16:53. | :17:02. | |
satellite image showing the well-defined eye as the storm goes | :17:03. | :17:03. | |
north-west, passing across the Turks north-west, passing across the Turks | :17:04. | :17:11. | |
Caicos Islands -- hurricane Jose. Still 165 mph winds, making it a | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
strong category five. Looking at the forecast track, it's going to move | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
further north-west in between Cuba and the Bahamas, again bringing | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
heavy rain, up to half a metre of rain, catastrophic strong winds and | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
a significant storm surge before it makes its way towards for that in | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
time for the weekend. A very serious storm the other side of the | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
Atlantic. Let's look at the forecast closer to home. Here's a picture we | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
had taken by one of our Weather Watchers a few hours ago, the or | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
Boriello is, a fantastic display last night and with clear spells | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
many enjoyed the or borealis. For today it's an unsettled picture. It | :17:56. | :18:04. | |
will feel breezy and windy with some showers. Low pressure dominating the | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
weather and the winds will be Iraq telling around this area of low | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
pressure and importing showers as we had through the day with a weather | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
front in the southern part of the UK, more persistent rain at times. | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
Here's how the day shapes up, sunny spells and scattered showers almost | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
anywhere with heavier and more prolonged rainfall in parts of | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
southern England but even further north some showers could bring | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
thunder and lightning as well. Looking at this afternoon, plenty of | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
showers rattling in across Scotland and Northern Ireland. To the east of | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
higher ground you will see fewer showers but they will be slow-moving | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
by the afternoon so there could be heavy and prolonged downpours. South | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
across England and Wales you will see sunshine and heavy showers with | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
more prolonged rainfall likely in central and southern England into | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
the afternoon but some brighter skies Inbetweener showers and it | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
will feel fairly cool, around 16-17. We stick with the showers overnight | :19:03. | :19:11. | |
but some clear spells, as we start the weekend, temperatures around... | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
Still windy towards the west. It looks like we will have a quiet | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
quieter spell to stop the day on Sunday but things again staying | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
unsettled with further rain -- to start the day. | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
Them and Mike have joined us for a look at the papers. Some of the | :19:30. | :19:40. | |
front pages -- Ben and Mike. The Sun are focusing on hurricane Erma. This | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
is the number of Brits they think will be caught up. 30,000 people | :19:47. | :19:55. | |
could be affected and we will get more on the latest in terms of the | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
damage through the morning. We hope to speak to eyewitnesses and people | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
from the islands affected. The Daily Star looking at a story of two | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
daughters, two women, who may be among the victims of hurricane Erma. | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
Claire Frank has said she has had no contact with her daughter, who is | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
pregnant, and Asher as well, obviously very concerned. The front | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
page of the times looking and Britain being criticised for | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
delaying help. They promised ?32 million and they are sending a Royal | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
Navy flagship with helicopters, Marines and engineers. The Daily | :20:36. | :20:37. | |
Mail interested in the language being used between Brussels and | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
David Davis personally. They are quoting Jean-Claude Juncker, | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
suggesting the Brexit secretary was lazy and unstable, that's the quote | :20:49. | :20:54. | |
that he's taken. The photo on most of the front pages is of Prince | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
George, that is a very good representation of how most four | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
-year-olds feel about starting school, slightly apprehensive but he | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
held hands with his dad and the head of the lower school at Saint | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
Thomases in Battersea, where he is beginning school. What have you got? | :21:10. | :21:16. | |
A lot about Frankfurt defeating Paris in the EU bank battle. They | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
are vying for a slice of the financial services market, up until | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
now London has dominated. Questions about whether banks may move to if | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
they do move. Paris has been vying for the top spot -- where the banks. | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
Frankfurt is managing to do that, though. There are concerns about | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
what that means for Germany's dominance as far as the use | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
concerned. The story, we will deliver electric cars but what about | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
the network. We spoke to the boss of Jaguar Land Rover, talking about the | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
number of new carmakers coming up with electric vehicles but the | :21:55. | :21:56. | |
question is where they will be charged. Did you shop in the Argos | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
catalogue when you were younger? I browsed through it just for fun. To | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
do your Christmas list for Father Christmas and you would circle | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
things you wanted? I would fold the page is very neatly. Apparently the | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
Argos catalogue could be going out of print, that's the story in the | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
Mirror. We had the yellow Pages earlier in the week. They have said | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
they are going to try it in some stores because some either use | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
tablets or browse online. They said it is a trial at the moment but it | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
could disappear in print if the trial is successful. The Argos | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
catalogue, what's interesting, they have records of past catalogues at | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
the British library because they are quite a record of our history. You | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
can see what people were buying and if you think it was all clock radios | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
and kettles and other things and they tell us a story of the time. We | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
do really still buy kettles and toasters. The error, though. An | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
alarm clock with a... A Wallace and Gromit alarm clock. The one that | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
folded into three parts into a case. And Furbies as well. Sorry to | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
interrupt, there's a brilliant ad that says all these things you can | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
buy at stores like that, alarm clock radio, calculator, torch, you can | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
buy them as individual items, now they are all in a smart phone. It | :23:25. | :23:34. | |
just ruins it. That's no fun, is it? Turkeyturkeys voting for Christmas | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
is the decision by the Premier League too closed the transfer | :23:38. | :23:44. | |
window before the transfer -- season starts. The clubs opposed to this | :23:45. | :23:51. | |
change -- to close. In Europe it stays the same. Barcelona could come | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
in and cherry pick. Can you backtrack, what is the problem? They | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
voted to close the transfer window before the season starts next summer | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
so there's no distractions but that doesn't apply to the rest of Europe | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
so European clubs can come in and by the Premier League players from | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
Premier League clubs and then you've lost your top striker and you can't | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
replace him. The Spanish deadline is later than ours anyway. This time it | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
will be by a month. They need to be better organised. If you haven't | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
switched on to TMS for the final game between the West Indies and | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
England, the final commentary from Henry Blofeld, he was talking about | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
sausages, cranes and pigeons, it reminded us of some of his greats, | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
he is hanging up the Mike. Flintoff starts his run, his shadow behind | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
him, where else would it be. What was the sausage reference? A butcher | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
sent him the sausages but he said that's rather tactless of the | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
Father, I don't know the background of that bit. Sausages, pigeons and | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
cranes. More than half a million people have | :24:58. | :25:09. | |
been ordered to leave their homes in Florida before hurricane Erma hits | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
the US on Sunday and many tourists are stranded at Miami airport with | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
no seats left to come home. Tens of thousands have been told to evacuate | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
their homes on the northern coast of Cuba. Red cross is estimating up to | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
26 million people in total could be exposed to the destructive winds and | :25:28. | :25:35. | |
heavy rains. The BBC's will grant is in Havana. | :25:36. | :25:43. | |
Cubans have spent the past few days watching as nearby islands | :25:44. | :25:46. | |
were devastated by this vast storm as it ploughed | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
Now they know their country's next on its path. | :25:50. | :25:52. | |
The pace of preparations has picked up significantly, | :25:53. | :25:54. | |
with residents on the eastern end of the island taking steps | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
to secure their homes and stock up on basic goods. | :25:58. | :26:00. | |
Fresh drinking water and fuel for generators top of their lists. | :26:01. | :26:03. | |
Cuba is now also a hugely popular tourist destination and the island | :26:04. | :26:06. | |
was busy with holidaymakers when Irma began to form. | :26:07. | :26:09. | |
Now many of those visitors find themselves trapped in a situation | :26:10. | :26:22. | |
they never expected and have never experienced before. | :26:23. | :26:24. | |
Countries with large numbers of citizens in Cuba | :26:25. | :26:26. | |
are co-ordinating with the Cuban authorities to get them out. | :26:27. | :26:29. | |
Assuming the hurricane doesn't change course at the last-minute, | :26:30. | :26:31. | |
it's expected to barrel around the Cuban coastline, | :26:32. | :26:33. | |
dumping large amounts of rain on the island as it passes. | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
Then it should begin to move up to the United States | :26:38. | :26:39. | |
There a state of emergency is already in place and even the man | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
who approved it is having to take measures against Irma. | :26:45. | :26:46. | |
President Trump's Mar-a-Lago golf resort boarding up | :26:47. | :26:48. | |
Many have tried to leave before it makes landfall. | :26:49. | :26:52. | |
I just came here for a couple of weeks, I'm supposed to fly out | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
There's some for Saturday but pretty much they're going to be cancelled | :26:57. | :27:02. | |
so I'm just going to stay in, get waters, canned foods, | :27:03. | :27:05. | |
snack bars, enough for, like, a week or two and pray and hope | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
I don't know, I'm going to go to the airport and just figure out | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
People across the Caribbean are used to dealing with hurricanes, | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
they're an annual part of life in this region, | :27:19. | :27:20. | |
however many have never seen anything quite like Hurricane Irma | :27:21. | :27:23. | |
in their lifetime and fear the worst. | :27:24. | :27:25. | |
Cubans are well aware these are the final few hours of calm | :27:26. | :27:28. | |
before the devastating force of Irma reaches the island, | :27:29. | :27:30. | |
and having seen exactly what it's capable of elsewhere | :27:31. | :27:33. | |
in the Caribbean, many are just hoping the storm is a little kinder | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
Throughout the morning we will be checking in on various locations | :27:38. | :27:57. | |
where they think the storm is hitting, we will keep you're up to | :27:58. | :28:01. | |
date with any developments and Sarah will keep you across how it is | :28:02. | :28:03. | |
travelling as well. Time now to get the news, | :28:04. | :28:04. | |
travel and weather where you are. I'm back with the latest | :28:05. | :28:05. | |
from the BBC London newsroom Plenty more on our website | :28:06. | :31:27. | |
at the usual address. Hello, this is Breakfast, | :31:28. | :31:31. | |
with Charlie Stayt and Naga We'll have the latest news | :31:32. | :31:33. | |
and sport in just a moment. Coming up, pilots for | :31:34. | :31:36. | |
Thomas Cook Airlines are on strike We'll find out what that means | :31:37. | :31:39. | |
for passengers at home and abroad. Rick Astley joins us ahead | :31:40. | :31:50. | |
of performing at a benefit concert for those affected by May's | :31:51. | :31:56. | |
Manchester Arena terror attack. We've shed a tear with her | :31:57. | :32:00. | |
as she reunited siblings on Long Lost Family, | :32:01. | :32:03. | |
and now Davina McCall is tackling the issues of mental health, | :32:04. | :32:06. | |
stress and parenting - she'll be on the sofa | :32:07. | :32:08. | |
to tell us why. But now a summary of this | :32:09. | :32:14. | |
morning's main news. 1.2 million people have now been | :32:15. | :32:26. | |
affected by the destructive trail of Hurricane Irma, according to the | :32:27. | :32:29. | |
international Red Cross. Millions more are in danger, as the storm | :32:30. | :32:36. | |
progressed into Haiti and the Turks and Caicos Islands overnight. The | :32:37. | :32:39. | |
British Virgin Islands are the latest report damage and deaths, | :32:40. | :32:42. | |
where the governor has declared a state of emergency. It is predicted | :32:43. | :32:47. | |
another 26 million people are at risk from the storm in the coming | :32:48. | :32:51. | |
days, with major areas in Florida and Cuba being evacuated. Foreign | :32:52. | :32:54. | |
Secretary Boris Johnson says the U.K.'s acting swiftly in response | :32:55. | :33:02. | |
the devastation. The Royal Navy ship the RFA Mounts Bay has arrived in | :33:03. | :33:06. | |
the region, and a second ship is en route. We can now speak to Fergus | :33:07. | :33:10. | |
Thomas, a human caring adviser working with the Caribbean disaster | :33:11. | :33:13. | |
emergency management agency, and he is in Antigua this morning. Thank | :33:14. | :33:19. | |
you for your time. Could you give us your summary of how the Caribbean | :33:20. | :33:23. | |
and those areas you are looking to have infected? It has been a really | :33:24. | :33:34. | |
split story. Many islands were virtually untouched. This is the | :33:35. | :33:37. | |
biggest storm to hit the Caribbean since the beginning of storm is | :33:38. | :33:43. | |
being recorded, so this is enormous. Unfortunately, as you know, some of | :33:44. | :33:48. | |
the islands on the Northern leeward side have been really badly hit, | :33:49. | :33:53. | |
like Anguilla, Barbuda, and as far as we know, the British Virgin | :33:54. | :33:56. | |
Islands have also been really badly hit. There have been committed | :33:57. | :34:02. | |
issues of those places. -- communication issues in those | :34:03. | :34:07. | |
places. We are hoping to be on the ground in the British Virgin Islands | :34:08. | :34:11. | |
tomorrow morning. The ship, the Mounts Bay, was in Anguilla this | :34:12. | :34:15. | |
morning and delivered the first assistance. They will be moving to | :34:16. | :34:18. | |
the British Virgin Islands to get a better picture of the needs there. | :34:19. | :34:24. | |
So I think we have got our systems... (INAUDIBLE). We should be | :34:25. | :34:30. | |
able to make clear decisions about how to best assist in the coming | :34:31. | :34:34. | |
hours and days. Yes, obviously there are some immediate problems to be | :34:35. | :34:39. | |
communications issues, that would be one of the big ones, but also | :34:40. | :34:42. | |
accessing some of these places initially? Exactly. What you have is | :34:43. | :34:53. | |
atolls, these communities are often not very big. There are some islands | :34:54. | :34:58. | |
with only a few thousand people. They are incredibly difficult to get | :34:59. | :35:05. | |
to, similar to our response in the Philippines, in 2014. Logistically, | :35:06. | :35:14. | |
that was very difficult, we had to send planes out on the first | :35:15. | :35:18. | |
assessment. That is why working with the military air assets is really | :35:19. | :35:25. | |
important. It is a good example of how the Ministry of Defence and the | :35:26. | :35:32. | |
Foreign Office... (INAUDIBLE). Fergus, thank you very much for your | :35:33. | :35:36. | |
time this morning. That was Fergus Thomas speaking to us, a human | :35:37. | :35:40. | |
caring adviser speaking to us from Antigua. Apologies for the | :35:41. | :35:45. | |
communications problem there, he was its planning that is one of the | :35:46. | :35:48. | |
issues they are facing. We will be speaking to some of the other people | :35:49. | :35:52. | |
who have seen first hand the damage from hurricane later in the | :35:53. | :35:54. | |
programme. Young offenders from ethnic minority | :35:55. | :35:55. | |
backgrounds will become "the next generation" of adult criminals | :35:56. | :35:58. | |
unless the justice system is reformed, according to a review | :35:59. | :36:00. | |
led by the MP David Lammy. The report makes more than 30 | :36:01. | :36:03. | |
recommendations including allowing some prosecutions to be deferred | :36:04. | :36:06. | |
or even dropped if suspects get treatment for issues such as drug | :36:07. | :36:09. | |
or alcohol problems. What struck me about the report, | :36:10. | :36:23. | |
two, was the reality that a very large numbers of British people, | :36:24. | :36:28. | |
from our black and ethnic minority communities, lack confidence in the | :36:29. | :36:32. | |
criminal justice system. No minister, no government of any | :36:33. | :36:35. | |
political colour, can be happy with that state of affairs. We need to | :36:36. | :36:40. | |
address that Roblin. David Lammy's recommendations offer a possible | :36:41. | :36:44. | |
route for doing some of that, and we will be responding in details of | :36:45. | :36:45. | |
every item in his report. An earthquake with a magnitude | :36:46. | :36:49. | |
of eight has shaken southern Mexico. The quake struck just off | :36:50. | :36:52. | |
the Pacific coast of the country, rattling buildings in Mexico City | :36:53. | :36:55. | |
hundreds of kilometres away. There are no reports so far of any | :36:56. | :36:58. | |
major damage or casualties. The government is accusing Labour | :36:59. | :37:07. | |
of a "cynical" attempt to block The bill paves the way for leaving | :37:08. | :37:10. | |
the European Union in March 2019. Labour and other opposition parties | :37:11. | :37:14. | |
have promised to vote against it next week insisting it gives | :37:15. | :37:17. | |
sweeping powers to ministers The Brexit secretary David Davis | :37:18. | :37:20. | |
claimed Britons will not forgive Labour if they try to "delay | :37:21. | :37:24. | |
or destroy" the process A 13-year-old girl from Somerset, | :37:25. | :37:27. | |
whose organs were donated after her death, has saved | :37:28. | :37:34. | |
or transformed the lives That's a record for | :37:35. | :37:37. | |
a single donor in the UK. Jemima Layzell collapsed | :37:38. | :37:47. | |
with a brain aneurysm and died four Five of the patients who received | :37:48. | :37:50. | |
life-saving transplants Jemima's story is part of an NHS | :37:51. | :37:54. | |
campaign appealing for more donors. Time to talk about sport with Mike. | :37:55. | :38:09. | |
Good morning. The cricket is going well? It is exciting. It went very | :38:10. | :38:16. | |
well for the Ben, striking again in London, but at Lord's. He took six | :38:17. | :38:20. | |
wickets. England really up against it against this West Indies team | :38:21. | :38:24. | |
which they were supposed to thrash in this series. The West Indies now | :38:25. | :38:27. | |
have the initiative in the deciding test. | :38:28. | :38:28. | |
England's Ben Stokes took a career best 6 wickets for just 22 runs | :38:29. | :38:31. | |
on the first day of the third and deciding test against | :38:32. | :38:35. | |
He took apart the Windies middle order, restricting them to a total | :38:36. | :38:39. | |
of 123, but poor batting from his team-mates has | :38:40. | :38:41. | |
Obviously we still have to score runs to try to get ahead, but I | :38:42. | :39:00. | |
think it will be one of those wickets where they will be that | :39:01. | :39:05. | |
period of ways and Mrs and not being able to score too much. If we can | :39:06. | :39:09. | |
get up to their score, and get past it, we will fancy ourselves. | :39:10. | :39:10. | |
There will be two new faces in the women's US Open final. | :39:11. | :39:13. | |
Unseeded Sloane Stephens held her nerve overnight to beat | :39:14. | :39:16. | |
Venus Williams in three sets in New York. | :39:17. | :39:18. | |
And waiting for her in the final will be fellow American Madison | :39:19. | :39:21. | |
She beat Coco Vandeweghe in just over an hour in straight sets. | :39:22. | :39:30. | |
I wasn't playing well, just wasn't playing well. There were moments | :39:31. | :39:36. | |
when you have to dig deep and figure out how to get the ball on the court | :39:37. | :39:41. | |
and have a big name. I can't be tentative in figuring out how to get | :39:42. | :39:45. | |
that all in. She played great defence. I haven't played her in a | :39:46. | :39:50. | |
long time, clearly she has seen me playing many, many times, but I | :39:51. | :39:55. | |
haven't seen her play as much. I'm super happy to be in a Grand Slam | :39:56. | :39:59. | |
final, and to do it here, obviously my home slam, it is even more | :40:00. | :40:02. | |
special. I think this is what every player dreams about. And | :40:03. | :40:07. | |
unfortunately, fortunately but unfortunately, I had to play Venus. | :40:08. | :40:12. | |
But having four Americans in the semifinals, I think that says able | :40:13. | :40:15. | |
to about American tennis and where we are right now. | :40:16. | :40:18. | |
And waiting for her in the final will be fellow American Madison | :40:19. | :40:22. | |
She beat Coco Vandeweghe in just over an hour in straight sets. | :40:23. | :40:29. | |
We've seen the last of players like Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain moving | :40:30. | :40:32. | |
between Premier League clubs once the season starts. | :40:33. | :40:34. | |
Clubs have voted to close next summer's transfer window | :40:35. | :40:36. | |
It will close at 5:00 on the Thursday evening | :40:37. | :40:43. | |
Manchester United and Manchester City were among five clubs who voted | :40:44. | :40:49. | |
The window overseas will remain the same, so players | :40:50. | :40:53. | |
could still leave their clubs after the deadline in England closes. | :40:54. | :40:59. | |
Everton manager Ronald Koeman said he is "very disappointed" | :41:00. | :41:01. | |
at Wayne Rooney's drink-driving charge and the player will be "dealt | :41:02. | :41:04. | |
with internally at the appropriate time." | :41:05. | :41:08. | |
Rooney is currently on bail ahead of a hearing on September 18th. | :41:09. | :41:11. | |
Koeman also confirmed that the former England captain | :41:12. | :41:14. | |
will play for Everton against Tottenham on Saturday. | :41:15. | :41:20. | |
I am very disappointed that this situation regarding Wayne Rooney. We | :41:21. | :41:31. | |
have spoken, that was last Tuesday, and the chairman, Bill Kenwright, | :41:32. | :41:36. | |
spoke also to wane about this situation. -- Wayne. In line with | :41:37. | :41:46. | |
any disciplinary matter, this will be dealt with internally by the | :41:47. | :41:47. | |
club. Britain's Chris Froome has | :41:48. | :41:48. | |
extended his overall lead The Tour de France winner attacked | :41:49. | :41:50. | |
inside the final mile of stage eighteen to claw back twenty seconds | :41:51. | :41:55. | |
on his nearest rival Vincenzo He now leads the Italian by more | :41:56. | :41:58. | |
than a minute and a half. Meanwhile, things aren't | :41:59. | :42:10. | |
going so well on the Tour of Britain Geraint Thomas could only finish | :42:11. | :42:12. | |
eighth on the 10-mile individual That leaves him ninth overall, | :42:13. | :42:16. | |
19 seconds behind Lars Boom, who won the stage to take | :42:17. | :42:22. | |
the overall lead from Sky's Elia That is just about it. But how about | :42:23. | :42:35. | |
this? He has walked away unscathed from motorbike crashes at over 100 | :42:36. | :42:39. | |
miles an hour, we are talking about Cal Critchlow, written's leading | :42:40. | :42:48. | |
motor GP rider. -- Britain's leading motor GP rider. Now he is in doubt | :42:49. | :42:51. | |
this weekend because of a dangerous piece of cheese. He was cutting | :42:52. | :42:55. | |
palms and cheese. He says it is a very dangerous activity. He says the | :42:56. | :43:01. | |
cheese was too hard. So he has had surgery on his finger. Of course, | :43:02. | :43:05. | |
that is pretty vital when you are riding a motorbike. So the night has | :43:06. | :43:12. | |
slipped? Yeah. It reminds me of other bizarre sporting injuries, so | :43:13. | :43:15. | |
if you have any, get in touch. There was Dave present, who dropped a | :43:16. | :43:19. | |
bottle of cream on his foot, and broke his toe. I had a friend who | :43:20. | :43:31. | |
broke his arm playing sabutio. There are many more bizarre ones which I | :43:32. | :43:35. | |
will keep coming. Use vegetable peel, that is my tip for Parmesan | :43:36. | :43:43. | |
cheese. Somebody put his back out, typing a letter. Anything can | :43:44. | :43:48. | |
happen. Dangerous business, being in the kitchen ahead of sporting | :43:49. | :43:49. | |
events. The first strike by UK pilots | :43:50. | :43:52. | |
in 40 years has started Thomas Cook Airline pilots | :43:53. | :43:55. | |
are unhappy over pay. Yes, the 12-hour strike started | :43:56. | :43:58. | |
at 3:00 this morning and will last The pilots at Thomas Cook Airlines | :43:59. | :44:02. | |
are unhappy over low pay rises The airline says it's still planning | :44:03. | :44:10. | |
to operate all scheduled flights today, but it has changed | :44:11. | :44:14. | |
some departure times. We can speak to Brian Strutton, | :44:15. | :44:24. | |
General Secretary of the union, the British Airline Pilots | :44:25. | :44:27. | |
Association, or Balpa. Good morning, Brian. Just explain to | :44:28. | :44:38. | |
us, if you will, what is it you are calling for? | :44:39. | :44:43. | |
We have been in pain negotiations with Thomas Cook since the start of | :44:44. | :44:49. | |
this year and we are asking for a substantial playwright in excess of | :44:50. | :44:53. | |
inflation -- pay negotiations. We want to catch up with past losses | :44:54. | :44:57. | |
were Thomas Cook pilots have fallen behind other pilots in the industry | :44:58. | :45:01. | |
and we're asking for better arrangements when Thomas Cook move | :45:02. | :45:04. | |
pilots around between flights. What the company have offered is a 4% pay | :45:05. | :45:09. | |
rise over two years, which just isn't good enough. We've had many | :45:10. | :45:14. | |
days of discussions at ACAS. Unfortunately the company instead | :45:15. | :45:21. | |
chose to take us to court last week, so we lost a bit of potential | :45:22. | :45:24. | |
negotiating time and that's why we've ended up on strike today. We | :45:25. | :45:29. | |
regret the disruption to passengers but we think we've pitched this | :45:30. | :45:33. | |
action at a very responsible level. Why is 4% over two years not good | :45:34. | :45:39. | |
enough? I've just looked at the latest figures, wages are increasing | :45:40. | :45:44. | |
foremost by 2.1%. If you work in the public sector your pay doesn't go up | :45:45. | :45:49. | |
1%. Inflation is just over 2%. You're getting 4% over two years, | :45:50. | :45:55. | |
why isn't that enough? Because 4% over two years is a real terms pay | :45:56. | :46:01. | |
cut of at least 2%. We're not going to tolerate bad for our members. | :46:02. | :46:04. | |
Thomas Cook pilots have fallen behind other similar pilots in the | :46:05. | :46:09. | |
industry -- tolerate that. They want to recover some of that ground. That | :46:10. | :46:14. | |
is not unreasonable. Thomas Cook made profit of ?172 million, they | :46:15. | :46:20. | |
can afford a decent pilot pay rise. Will they get much Abadi from your | :46:21. | :46:24. | |
passengers? It's a tough time for airlines. -- much sympathy. Airlines | :46:25. | :46:31. | |
are struggling with the terrorist threat and volatile oil prices and | :46:32. | :46:35. | |
people are feeling more squeezed so they aren't travelling as much and | :46:36. | :46:39. | |
there is the uncertainty around Brexit. All airlines are saying we | :46:40. | :46:45. | |
have to cut costs, why can't Thomas Cook do that as far as staffing is | :46:46. | :46:50. | |
concerned? We are happy for them to cut costs and be more efficient and | :46:51. | :46:55. | |
offer brilliant holidays at a good price but that doesn't mean pilots | :46:56. | :46:59. | |
have to suffer real terms pay cuts. We can do all the things we need, we | :47:00. | :47:04. | |
can come to a reasonable deal for the pilots and we can get all those | :47:05. | :47:08. | |
customers and those passengers flying to their holidays. That's why | :47:09. | :47:14. | |
we pitched today's action at a very responsible level. We've now... I | :47:15. | :47:18. | |
can report we've now agreed five days of talks at ACAS over the next | :47:19. | :47:22. | |
two weeks and we hope that will result in a better offer coming | :47:23. | :47:27. | |
along the table. Thanks, the general secretary of the pilots Association. | :47:28. | :47:34. | |
Were going to speak to the chief executive of Thomas Cook airlines in | :47:35. | :47:38. | |
an hour so we will put some of those thoughts to him and we've had a | :47:39. | :47:41. | |
statement from Thomas Cook, apologising for any disruption to | :47:42. | :47:44. | |
the passengers but they are hoping to operate all flights scheduled | :47:45. | :47:48. | |
today but some of the times may have changed so it is worth checking if | :47:49. | :47:53. | |
you are due to fly with Thomas Cook before 3pm today. More from me after | :47:54. | :47:55. | |
7am. Here's Sarah with a look | :47:56. | :47:57. | |
at this morning's weather. Good morning, Charlie and Naga. I | :47:58. | :48:08. | |
will start with a picture sent in by a Weather Watcher of the or | :48:09. | :48:12. | |
Borealis. A fantastic display last night of the Northern Lights large | :48:13. | :48:17. | |
down to a large solar flare. Beautiful scenes, clear skies and | :48:18. | :48:21. | |
clear spells through the day but plenty of showers around. That | :48:22. | :48:25. | |
really sums up the day, very changeable. Sunny spells, heavy | :48:26. | :48:29. | |
showers and for some it will feel quite breezy so low pressure | :48:30. | :48:33. | |
dominating the weather. At the moment it is sitting to the | :48:34. | :48:36. | |
north-west so the winds will be rattling around the area of low | :48:37. | :48:40. | |
pressure through the day, drawing in the showers and in the south maybe | :48:41. | :48:44. | |
longer spells rain later on so showers could be almost anywhere. | :48:45. | :48:49. | |
Some drier interludes, especially in eastern Scotland and parts of | :48:50. | :48:52. | |
north-east England through the morning but showers become more | :48:53. | :48:55. | |
widespread through the afternoon with heavy rain in the south. In | :48:56. | :49:00. | |
eastern Scotland in the shelter you should see some brighter spells but | :49:01. | :49:03. | |
these showers will become heavier and more persistent at times during | :49:04. | :49:07. | |
the afternoon, slow-moving with the odd rumble of thunder and similar in | :49:08. | :49:11. | |
Northern Ireland so heavy showers, you could see thunderstorms here and | :49:12. | :49:15. | |
there. Of the south in northern England and Wales, is sunny spells | :49:16. | :49:20. | |
and blustery showers, especially the further west you are and in southern | :49:21. | :49:26. | |
England the rain is heavier, the odd rumble of thunder likely here, | :49:27. | :49:29. | |
brighter skies developing later in the Southend West but the wind | :49:30. | :49:34. | |
arrows continue on the map, blowing showers further east this evening | :49:35. | :49:39. | |
and overnight. For many, clear skills tonight and chilly in the | :49:40. | :49:43. | |
early hours of Saturday. -- clear skies. Cold in the countryside, | :49:44. | :49:49. | |
especially in sheltered eastern areas. Through the day tomorrow it | :49:50. | :49:53. | |
is the east and south that start with the best of the sunshine. | :49:54. | :49:57. | |
Already showers in the north and west. Through the day these showers | :49:58. | :50:01. | |
become more widespread so developing across much of the country. A day of | :50:02. | :50:05. | |
sunny intervals and scattered blustery showers and temperatures | :50:06. | :50:08. | |
not doing too badly for the time of year, 15 to 19 degrees. As we work | :50:09. | :50:14. | |
through into the second half of the weekend, a small ridge of high | :50:15. | :50:17. | |
pressure overnight and into the first half of Sunday and the next | :50:18. | :50:20. | |
weather front approaches from the Atlantic. With that ridge of high | :50:21. | :50:25. | |
pressure, for many Sunday will start on a dry and quieter note. Some | :50:26. | :50:30. | |
sunshine in eastern parts in particular and later in the day the | :50:31. | :50:34. | |
wind picks up and this wet and windy weather starts to move from west to | :50:35. | :50:38. | |
east across the country. Saturday will be the better day in terms of | :50:39. | :50:43. | |
sunny spells. Things turning wetter and windier in the Western during | :50:44. | :50:44. | |
Sunday. Sarah, thanks very much. The smell of the sea, | :50:45. | :50:49. | |
the taste of fish and chips, and breathtaking views, | :50:50. | :50:52. | |
there's always been something What takes you back, deckchairs, | :50:53. | :50:54. | |
many of us to the coast. What takes you back, deckchairs, | :50:55. | :51:01. | |
seagulls, ice creams? No. You will never guess it. A frisbee, a bucket | :51:02. | :51:07. | |
and spade? And old bicycle you can't ride on the sand. I give up. Walking | :51:08. | :51:14. | |
through the sea and feeling there was squelchy oil between my feet. It | :51:15. | :51:19. | |
felt awful so I never went into the sea for years. Where were you? | :51:20. | :51:26. | |
Hastings. Was it oil? It wasn't but it felt like it so I didn't go in | :51:27. | :51:29. | |
the sea for years. And it turns out those happy | :51:30. | :51:31. | |
memories can be good for us. As part of our Coastal Britain | :51:32. | :51:34. | |
series, Breakfast's John Maguire is taking a trip down memory lane | :51:35. | :51:37. | |
in Morecambe for us this morning. I'm sure you have some lovely | :51:38. | :51:45. | |
memories? I do. I'm worried about you, shall we build you in for a | :51:46. | :51:50. | |
therapy session? Sounds terrible. Many of us have wonderful memories, | :51:51. | :51:54. | |
you mention things like the smell of fish and chips, the call of the | :51:55. | :51:59. | |
goals, the sound of the waves on the beach and the feel of the sound, as | :52:00. | :52:05. | |
long as it not too oily, there's something about the seaside and | :52:06. | :52:09. | |
we've heard it all week in our series, something that excites | :52:10. | :52:12. | |
people and draws them back to the coast every time. We often say | :52:13. | :52:16. | |
nostalgia isn't what it used to be but can it be useful looking back | :52:17. | :52:21. | |
and can we take lessons from the past to take them forward to the | :52:22. | :52:26. | |
future? We brought Daphne with us, I thought it was a lot bigger on TV | :52:27. | :52:31. | |
when I've been seeing it in the next couple of days but I'm surprised how | :52:32. | :52:35. | |
small it is. She is here, as is the team, looking back but also forward. | :52:36. | :52:43. | |
The past, not a different country but a British seaside town. | :52:44. | :52:51. | |
Morecambe in fact. It's 1901 and just look at how busy it is. This | :52:52. | :52:57. | |
footage has recently been released online by the British film | :52:58. | :53:01. | |
Institute, one of 160 films from around the British coastline. It | :53:02. | :53:05. | |
shows hordes of holidaymakers and daytrippers. These are the early | :53:06. | :53:11. | |
days of mass tourism. Jacqueline and Derek Osborne have made the long | :53:12. | :53:16. | |
drive north from their home in Essex each summer for the past 30 years. | :53:17. | :53:21. | |
The feeling we had then, it wasn't brilliant, was it? It wasn't. It | :53:22. | :53:25. | |
always looked like it had seen better days but in subsequent years | :53:26. | :53:30. | |
we have come it has improved a lot. Certainly over the last ten to 15 | :53:31. | :53:34. | |
years it's improved. You quite like the shopping? I love the shopping, I | :53:35. | :53:39. | |
like the scenery as well. The lakes I think our lovely. Your sister, | :53:40. | :53:45. | |
Doris, she is 90 now and she likes the seafront because it's lovely and | :53:46. | :53:49. | |
flat and it's easy for me to push the wheelchair along. Looking back | :53:50. | :53:54. | |
when Lee and Andrew used to come along the rock pools with us on | :53:55. | :53:59. | |
holiday, he like to climb on the rock pools and falling over and | :54:00. | :54:03. | |
cutting himself badly that time, took him to hospital. And what is it | :54:04. | :54:10. | |
about the seaside that draws people back, that evokes such happy | :54:11. | :54:14. | |
memories? Researchers at the university of Central Lancashire are | :54:15. | :54:17. | |
trying to find out. Now we're suddenly starting to get data in | :54:18. | :54:22. | |
that nostalgia is good for us, it makes us feel better, it's a great | :54:23. | :54:25. | |
antidote to the stress of everyday life so we want to say to what | :54:26. | :54:29. | |
extent it does impact upon peoples well-being and potentially to their | :54:30. | :54:33. | |
health. The seaside is a perfect place for that because the seaside | :54:34. | :54:37. | |
is something that doesn't change and can trigger nostalgic memories. Last | :54:38. | :54:45. | |
weekend, Morecambe was packed to the gunwales with around 40,000 people | :54:46. | :54:48. | |
here for the vintage by the sea festival. A modern take on an old | :54:49. | :54:56. | |
theme. The designer Wayne Hemingway, born and bred here, is one of the | :54:57. | :55:02. | |
organisers. There's a massive movement for British people | :55:03. | :55:06. | |
especially the young to rediscover the British seaside, it's four of | :55:07. | :55:09. | |
them forward thinking, people want to come here and it to be busy. All | :55:10. | :55:13. | |
round the country there are coastal events springing up. Nostalgia is | :55:14. | :55:18. | |
part of it because it brings the intergenerational thing and to bring | :55:19. | :55:22. | |
that kind of busy feeling back to a coastal town, we can start to bring | :55:23. | :55:28. | |
the coastline back again. So the big challenge for many hours seaside | :55:29. | :55:32. | |
towns is to find a way to celebrate and conserve the best of the past | :55:33. | :55:34. | |
while also looking to the future. Morecambe Bay looking after us this | :55:35. | :55:42. | |
morning, wonderful vistas here although we've had some wind and | :55:43. | :55:46. | |
rain but it has sorted itself out. We can speak to Doctor David from | :55:47. | :55:51. | |
the university of Central Lancashire, an expert in tourism. It | :55:52. | :55:56. | |
is that magic silver bullet, isn't it? How do we revitalise and fall in | :55:57. | :56:01. | |
love with our seaside towns again? We need to repackage the traditions | :56:02. | :56:06. | |
of the seaside town, Seaside Heritage, places like the Midland | :56:07. | :56:11. | |
hotel behind us, keep those traditions and heritage but make | :56:12. | :56:15. | |
them fit for the 21st-century. It is a case of being influenced by the | :56:16. | :56:20. | |
past and developing that and making it fit for the consumers. Who does | :56:21. | :56:25. | |
that, where do the ideas come from? And crucially, where does the money | :56:26. | :56:29. | |
come from? The government has started to recognise the importance | :56:30. | :56:34. | |
of investing in the coast because I think it has been underinvested in | :56:35. | :56:38. | |
for a while now with the coastal communities fund. There are various | :56:39. | :56:42. | |
projects around the country. There are companies that are now brave | :56:43. | :56:46. | |
enough and have the confidence to invest in the coast, urban Splash | :56:47. | :56:50. | |
have invested in the Midland hotel here. We have companies like travel | :56:51. | :56:56. | |
lodge investing in coastal locations and Butlins has basically sold out | :56:57. | :56:59. | |
because they have recognised the value of the coast, they kept the | :57:00. | :57:04. | |
traditions and realised people want seaside holidays like their | :57:05. | :57:07. | |
grandparents had but better. Good stuff. Doctor David Jarrett, thanks | :57:08. | :57:13. | |
very much. The message from David and all seaside towns we feature | :57:14. | :57:17. | |
this week and anyone's around the British coast will say the classic, | :57:18. | :57:23. | |
water's lovely, come on in! Speak to you later. Looks marvellous but | :57:24. | :57:28. | |
cold. Has the bracing feel to it this morning. Lovely! | :57:29. | :57:29. | |
Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. | :57:30. | :00:48. | |
Plenty more on our website at the usual address. | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Naga | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
More than one million people have been hit by Hurricane Irma | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
The British Virgin Islands are the latest to report major | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
The Governor declares a state of emergency. | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
All of us have been afflicted by Hurricane Irma, some | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
Apart from the structural damage there have sadly been reports | :01:11. | :01:18. | |
It's predicted another 26 million people are at risk from the giant | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
Major tourism areas in Cuba and Florida are being evacuated. | :01:24. | :01:42. | |
Also today, a warning of race bias in the British justice system - | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
a government-backed report says prosecution against some offenders | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
In the last few hours pilots working for Thomas Cook Airlines have gone | :01:53. | :02:04. | |
on strike, the first industrial action by UK pilots in 40 years. | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
I'll be asking the airline's boss what's gone wrong. | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
In sport, Big Ben is still striking, at Lord's at least. | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
Ben Stokes takes six wickets on a crazy day at Lords, | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
with both the West Indies and then England suffering batting collapses | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
And our BBC Breakfast chat has made it right around the British | :02:21. | :02:35. | |
coastline to hear. -- deckchair. We are in Morecambe, talking about the | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
soldier. What draws people back to the early and British seaside year | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
after year? -- brilliant. An autumnal feeling to the forecast. | :02:41. | :02:51. | |
Some sunshine, but also plenty of showers. I will bring you all the | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
details for the UK forecast, as well as a look at Hurricane Irma and | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
where it is going next in the next 15 minutes. | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
The path of destruction brought by Hurricane Irma has now affected | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
more than one million people across the Caribbean. | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
At least 14 people have been killed and a state of emergency has been | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
declared at the British Virgin Islands. | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
Overnight, the British Overseas Territory of Turks and Caicos has | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
been pummelled by the storm, leaving tourists and residents | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
The hurricane is projected to move to the Bahamas and Cuba, | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
evacuations are underway, before it reaches Florida | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
This is what it's like to look out of your hotel room in the Turks | :03:25. | :03:34. | |
Caicos, knowing one of the strongest storms in recent memory | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
Starting to hear the noise of the wind as well | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
But we're not even close to the worst bit yet, | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
On the British Virgin Islands, there have been an unknown | :03:48. | :03:57. | |
With communications severely disrupted, the governor issued this | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
audio message, declaring a state of emergency. | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
All of us have been affected by Irma, and some more than others. | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
Apart from the structural damage, there have been reports | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
Our thoughts and prayers are with each and every one of you. | :04:12. | :04:19. | |
At least one person is known to have died in the British territory | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
of Anguilla where residents sheltered in their homes for safety. | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
We were in the bath with a mattress above us, that's how we managed | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
I think a lot of people were in a similar situation. | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
We've seen houses with cars that have been picked up and thrown | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
Barbuda was one of the first islands to be hit by Irma. | :04:38. | :04:50. | |
It's now less than 48 hours away from the impact | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
Jose has sustained wind speeds of 120 mph and it looks likely | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
to gain in strength over the next day or two. | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
With the hurricane moving towards Cuba and Florida, holidaymakers in | :05:01. | :05:16. | |
the region are being told to follow local advice. Andy Moore is outside | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
the Foreign Office this morning. Give us a sense of what is being | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
said about what people can do, those people who are in those places, in | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
the firing line? Well, we understand there are something like 10,000 | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
richest tourists on the island of Cuba. -- British. Some have been | :05:34. | :05:40. | |
moved to other areas. The advice now from the travel companies is to stay | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
inside your hotel, that is the safest place, because these | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
buildings are designed to withstand hurricanes. Some tourists in Florida | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
are being flown home early. There are no tourist is going out to | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
Florida, or there won't be, because all the international airports there | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
are shutting down on the weekend. There was some criticism of the | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
government response in connection to aid getting there, equipment and | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
help and supplies, coming out to some of those very badly affected | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
areas. What is happening now? First of all, there are ?32 million | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
earmarked in disaster relief, and then there is the military assets | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
either in the regional rhomb away there. We have a royal Fleet | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
auxiliary ship, Mounts Bay, that is off Anguilla. That is already | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
delivering aid to the island. It has helicopters aboard. The first | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
element task group will set out from RAF Brize Norton today. These are | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
gigantic loadmaster transport aircraft, some of those will have | :06:41. | :06:48. | |
helicopters aboard. -- Globemaster. And then we have the flagship of the | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
Royal Navy with helicopters aboard, setting out from the Mediterranean | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
and heading towards the Caribbean, although it will take about ten days | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
or two weeks to arrive in the affected area. Andy, thank you. | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
Young offenders from ethnic minority backgrounds will become "the next | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
generation of adult criminals" unless the justice system | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
is reformed, according to a review led by the MP David Lammy. | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
The inquiry makes a series of recommendations. | :07:10. | :07:11. | |
These include allowing some prosecutions to be deferred, | :07:12. | :07:13. | |
or even dropped, if suspects get treatment for issues such as drug | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
In 80 minutes we will be speaking to the author of that report, the MP | :07:17. | :07:27. | |
David Lammy. An earthquake with a magnitude | :07:28. | :07:28. | |
of 8.0 has hit southern Mexico. The quake struck 75 miles | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
off the Pacific coast, southwest of the town of Tres Picos, | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
but buildings shook in Mexico City There are no reports so far of any | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
major damage or casualties. The government is accusing Labour | :07:38. | :07:45. | |
of a "cynical" attempt to block The bill paves the way for leaving | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
the European Union in March 2019. Labour and other opposition parties | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
have promised to vote against it next week, insisting that it gives | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
sweeping powers to ministers Our political correspondent | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
Chris Mason joins us from Chris, how do you think | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
this might be resolved? You have been looking not just at | :08:05. | :08:13. | |
the intricacies of the bill, but the tension is building up a twin the | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
parties? Yes, good morning. Antioch intricacies and plenty of tensions. | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
What this boils down to is what kind of flavour of Brexit the different | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
MPs want to try to reflect the will of the country. And how that should | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
be delivered. So, there was a lot of concern articulated by Labour MPs. | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
We spoke about this yesterday, the so-called Henry VIII powers. This is | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
not MPs forming a judgement on the former monarch's less than good | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
approach to long-term relationships. Instead, the use of ancient powers | :08:47. | :08:53. | |
which critics say isn't allowing its Brexit plans to be adequately | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
scrutinised. Government argues it is no different than the mechanism by | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
which EU law has become UK law for the last generation. The other thing | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
that is at the heart of all of this, as I say, is what Brexit looks like | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
when it actually happens. We saw disagreement yesterday within the | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
Conservative Party, and that carries on this morning, with a letter from | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
some Conservative MPs saying they do not want to be kept in the EU by | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
stealth. Other, more pro- European Conservatives, it responded it was | :09:23. | :09:24. | |
inappropriate of some of their colleagues to be undermining the | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
government, something those letter writers dispute. So politics existed | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
all some along with Brexit, between Brussels and London. Now it exists | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
and it is backing turbocharge here at Westminster. -- back in. We will | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
be speaking a lot more about this, I'm sure. Thank you, Chris. | :09:44. | :09:45. | |
The Nobel prize winner, Malala Yousafzai, has called | :09:46. | :09:47. | |
on the leader of Myanamar, Aung San Suu Kyi, to protect | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
the country's Rohingya Muslim minority. | :09:51. | :09:51. | |
More than 160,000 Rohingyas have fled to Bangladesh since unrest | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
Ms Suu Kyi has been widely criticised for failing to condemn | :09:55. | :10:05. | |
A 13-year-old girl from Somerset, whose organs were donated | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
after her death, has saved or transformed the lives | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
That's a record for a single donor in the UK. | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
Jemima Layzell collapsed with a brain aneurysm and died four | :10:15. | :10:16. | |
Five of the patients who received life-saving transplants | :10:17. | :10:26. | |
Jemima's story is part of an NHS campaign appealing for more donors. | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
There are thousands of people waiting for a transplant. | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
If you would be willing to accept an organ you should be willing | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
to donate an organ, and that is what we are asking | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
people to consider, and make a decision that they will | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
It is amazing, isn't it? For her family, it must be some comfort, it | :10:45. | :10:53. | |
is extraordinary, or those people who have benefited. We have one more | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
story to bring you. For the second time this week, you may remember | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
that we showed you pictures of bats the inevitably nuisance, perhaps. | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
They are still making the headlines. Catch him, Derry! Catch him! In case | :11:08. | :11:14. | |
you didn't see it, this is a video which has gone viral, really. We ran | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
this last week. It was a family's attempt to remove that from its | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
kitchen. Scientists have done some work and have discovered more about | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
how I houses could actually harm bats. This is because they use a | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
sonar system of clicks when they fly, to avoid bumping into things. | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
But when you have smooth surfaces plateglass windows, they create a | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
blind spot which causes them to crash. I'm sure the panic didn't | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
help either. It is now seven in 11 a.m.. We have | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
the weather coming up and the sports later on. | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
A significant report today looks at whether the criminal justice system | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
is biased against people from ethnic minority communities. The author is | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
a labour MP, David Lammy, who joins us now. Thank you for your time. | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
This is a significant report. Lots of people have been waiting a long | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
time to see its results. It covers a bottle territory. One of the | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
conclusions you have come to is that there is still overt racial | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
prejudice in the criminal justice system. Can you help people with an | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
example of how that is manifesting itself, in a practical sense? | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
Something that is visible? As part of the review, I commissioned some | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
work from a women's organisation called Agenda, and they went to a | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
particular women's prison, they spoke to the ethnic minority women | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
there, and there was a lot of evidence of overt discrimination, | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
racial slurs, something you would want to associate with the past, and | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
many of those women felt intimidated. So I did see examples, | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
particularly within our prison system, of overt discrimination. I | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
think it is right to say that there are good prisons and bad prisons, | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
and there are parts of the criminal justice system which I didn't see | :13:04. | :13:10. | |
any disproportionate treatment, and I would pick the Crown Prosecution | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
Service as one of those institutions, and our jury system, | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
also, has a system which felt there when I looked at the analysis. Help | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
us with this one. You have to people, say. One is white, one is | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
black or from and if it minority background. They have committed a | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
crime. The problem you are addressing is what happens next to | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
them in the criminal justice system. Give us a sense of where that | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
disparity starts to emerge? I think the way to think about it is a young | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
black or Muslim man sitting in a police cell had a bad experience | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
with the police, obviously, we know the issues around stop-and-search | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
and arrest rates for black and minority ethnic communities. The | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
young man then gets a duty solicitor given to him by the state. He | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
doesn't trust the individual very much, he has never met them before. | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
He gives a no comment interview, very uncooperative in the police | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
cell. He then goes, he then opts not to go through the magistracy Court. | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
He wants a jury, because he thinks he will get a fairer treatment than | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
having a single judge. Basically, it compounds a situation where you end | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
up with a not guilty plea. It is painful for victims, especially | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
victims of crime who have to go through a long trial. It costs a | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
fortune in the system. And if he is found guilty he has a longer | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
sentence. So I have been looking at the system right from that point of | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
arrest, right through to the end, and we have now created a situation | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
in our country where 41% of our youth prison system, that is young | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
people, as young as ten and is all those 18, being from a black or | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
minority ethnic background. I mean, that is more than double the amount | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
of black and ethnic minority young people in our country. That is a | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
significant issue and it suggests that our adult prison population | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
will grow as well if we do not try to do something about this. | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
Are looking at how the papers are reporting your report this morning, | :15:15. | :15:23. | |
and I want some clarification, you say cases against some black | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
defendants should be dropped -- I'm looking. What does that mean in | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
relation to one defendant who is black or from an ethnic minority | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
background or another who is white, what does that mean? I'm not | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
suggesting anything for one group and not another. What I'm saying is | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
that because of the issues of trust that exist, there is a tendency to | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
plead not guilty whatever the circumstances. I looked at a pilot | :15:52. | :16:01. | |
we've done in this country called Operation Turning Point in the West | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
Midlands, I've looked at the systems in California and New Zealand and | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
I'm suggesting deferred prosecution, not asking for first and second time | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
offences for the individual to decide whether they are guilty or | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
not but intervening with the problems, deal with the drugs, deal | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
with the family background, deal with the anger management and | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
education, intervene and save the system money, save the victims going | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
through this lengthy trial and grip the problem such that you don't have | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
the reoffending rates that we are seeing in first and second time | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
offences. That's what I'm suggesting. That would work for | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
everyone but it would have a particular effect on black and | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
ethnic minority communities where there's a tendency because of low | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
levels of to plead not guilty whatever the circumstances. Can I | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
just ask, given the scale of your report and the scale of the problem, | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
how deep-seated is it within the system? What confidence do you have | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
your report will make a difference to anyone appearing in front of a | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
court or going through the criminal justice system tomorrow, next week, | :17:08. | :17:13. | |
next year or in five years time? This is a cross-party moment. In the | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
end I have been asked by two Conservative prime ministers to lead | :17:19. | :17:30. | |
this review. I'm a Labour MP. The review was welcomed by Jeremy Corbyn | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
and my recommendations this morning I see walk and by the Labour Party | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
as well so we've got a cross-party consensus that we've got a real | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
problem. It's costing taxpayers a fortune. We can close 12 prisons if | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
we didn't have this disproportionality so I hope there's | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
a consensus to move forward, the government act on my | :17:47. | :17:48. | |
recommendations. I'm not going anywhere, I'm a jobbing Member of | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
Parliament and I will be making sure we see these recommendations | :17:53. | :18:00. | |
implemented if we don't want to see the wasted lives we have at the | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
moment. David Lammy, the author of the report into the criminal justice | :18:06. | :18:08. | |

destruction across the Caribbean as the British Virgin Islands | :18:15. | :18:19. | |

Here's Sarah with a look at this morning's weather. | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
Sarah, we've been talking to eyewitnesses in the area in Antigua, | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
in various islands who have been hit by these two hurricanes so far, Irma | :18:44. | :18:52. | |
being very destructive but also the threat of Jose. | :18:53. | :18:54. | |
We've got three hurricanes at the moment, an unusual situation. This | :18:55. | :19:03. | |
one, Katia, is further west so that will impact eastern parts of Mexico | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
bringing flooding and landslides but it isn't in the same region as these | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
two. And Irma has been catastrophic so far. Jose is likely to follow but | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
it won't affect the same regions, probably heading towards the Leeward | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
Islands and four areas that really could do without another hurricane. | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
Les concentrate on the major category five hurricane, Irma. You | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
can see the central eye of the storm, a vast hurricane, still | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
producing winds of 160 mph with higher gusts than that so it's not | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
just the winds, it's the heavy rainfall and storm surge, could be | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
as high as 15 to 20 feet. It's moving across the Turks Caicos | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
Islands and it will head close to Cuba, to the south of the Bahamas, | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
before pushing northwards towards the central Florida in time for the | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
weekend. Probably still a major category four hurricane. Still | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
catastrophic damage to come from Irma with Jose following on behind. | :20:03. | :20:10. | |
In the UK, a much quieter picture. A day of sunshine and showers. Breezy, | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
and of autumnal feel as we head over the next few days with low pressure | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
in charge -- an autumnal. That is in the north-west and we see winds | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
coming around the area of low pressure bringing us showers. | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
Brighter weather to be enjoyed between the showers today for | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
eastern Scotland this morning. In towards the southern England we | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
likely to see heavier and more persistent rain developing as it | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
goes east through the day and we could have some thunder around as | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
well. This afternoon some showers in Scotland could be quite heavy and | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
slow moving with thunderstorms mixed in. Could be some surface water | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
lying around and for Northern Ireland, some heavy showers but not | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
raining all the time. Some brightness to be enjoyed. | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
Temperatures mainly in the mid teens for most and feeling cool with the | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
breeze and showers. Sunshine for Northern England, the Midlands, | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
heavy rain this afternoon towards the London region to the Isle of | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
Wight. For the south-west of England, we should see some | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
brightness breaking through later but we continue to see blustery | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
showers this evening. They will ease away overnight so many become dry | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
tonight with clear spells. Still quite windy and showery in the west | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
but further east you have clearer temperatures just a about holding up | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
in towns and cities but cold in the countryside. Saturday brings | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
blustery showers across the west but drier weather in the east at first | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
and three the day the showers become more widespread. Another day of | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
sunshine and showers tomorrow and temperatures between 15 to 19. On | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
Sunday we see the next area of low pressure and that will bring some | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
wet and windy weather that spreads in from the west, especially later | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
on on Sunday. Back to you both. Thanks very much, Sarah. | :21:56. | :21:57. | |
If your baby or child was choking on a sweet, | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
would you know what to do to help them? | :22:01. | :22:02. | |
If the answer is no, then you aren't alone. | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
New research suggests three out of four parents in the UK | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
would not be able to save their baby, that's according | :22:09. | :22:11. | |
James Beech is a first aid trainer and he joins us now. | :22:12. | :22:20. | |
Good morning. Good morning. There is the point when you are dealing with | :22:21. | :22:28. | |
a small person, a fragile body, and they are choking, you don't | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
instinctively with an adult... You would be happy to slap them on the | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
back hard but you don't want to shake or hurt a child, what should | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
you do? I will talk you through it. The main point to get across is you | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
should do something and your correct, you wouldn't want to hit | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
them as hard as... If Charlie was choking now you would hit them hard, | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
if the baby was, you would do it less hard. Let's do the scenario, | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
you are having dinner and the baby is in the high chair and starts... | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
Perhaps coughing initially and then you realise. When they are coughing | :23:05. | :23:13. | |
you need to remember they can get it out themselves, when they stop its | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
dangerous. You need to pick them up and we are looking at a child that | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
is under the age of one here. We need to make sure we are supporting | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
their heads. You need to support ahead and then you will pop them | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
down like that and if you see, you've got ahead lower than their | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
bottoms of gravity is on your side to help dislodge anything. Then you | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
are going to do what Naga said, use the heel of your hand and hit them | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
firmly on their back. Hopefully by doing that you are going to find the | :23:44. | :23:51. | |
object comes away. People can hear that, that is a considerable impact | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
you are making? It has to be firm. You're supporting the head but what | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
you are trying to do is dislodge whatever is blocked to come out so | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
your baby can breathe again. It could be quite scary but it's | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
important people learn this skill because this is causing a little bit | :24:10. | :24:12. | |
of bruising on their back potentially, that is a much lesser | :24:13. | :24:18. | |
thing than the baby not breathing so this is a really important. What if | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
that doesn't work? If it doesn't work, you try up to five times, you | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
want to turn the baby the other way up, keep supporting ahead, keep it | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
lower than their bottom but they are facing you and you will place two | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
fingers in the centre of their chest. Between the ribs? Right in | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
the centre of their chest, between their nipples is the best way to | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
think of it and you are going to push firmly downwards and what you | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
are trying to do here is to force air out of their lungs and again | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
tried to dislodge whatever it is that is caught. A simple skill to | :24:54. | :25:00. | |
learn and what we are encouraging people to do, it is world first a | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
day tomorrow and we would like parents in particular to learn a | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
first aid skills, why not start with this? At any stage do you check in | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
the mouth to see if anything is stuck in the back of the throat? We | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
wouldn't recommend putting your fingers in the mouth but if you can | :25:18. | :25:20. | |
see something clearly and you can safely get it out with your fingers | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
you could try that but the main message is to start with this | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
effective technique. By doing the back blows there is strong evidence | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
to suggest that should work. What happens if after both those methods | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
the baby is still choking, or if something has come out and the baby | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
is still distressed, what should you do then? Call 999 at that point, if | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
you have tried five of each of those skills and you want to call 999 and | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
you're going to carry on going between the back blows and the chest | :25:53. | :25:55. | |
thrusts until help arrives. When you're in that position, all my | :25:56. | :26:02. | |
instincts are that I... That movement you did before it is much | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
firmer than I would have thought you were going to say. I'm going like | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
that and you word... With the heel of your hand like that as well. That | :26:12. | :26:18. | |
bit of your hand -- you would. Bit in between the shoulder blades at | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
the top. In between the shoulder blades at the top and Inbetweener | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
nipples on the front. Younger child? Leaning them forward, hitting them | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
on the back or an ab thrust. If you want to learn the skill you can go | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
on world first a day's website and you can see the videos and you can | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
down a free first aid app from the Red Cross or you can come on one of | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
our courses. I do wish your baby would cheer up a little bit. Has he | :26:50. | :27:00. | |
got a name? Anne. This is Junior. Just been choking, can't be too | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
happy! Lovely to see you. If you want to watch a demonstration on | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
what to do if the baby is joking then we have the video on our | :27:10. | :27:12. | |
Facebook and Twitter pages. The time is 7:30 a.m.. 1.2 million | :27:13. | :30:54. | |
people have now been affected IV destructive trail of Hurricane Irma, | :30:55. | :30:57. | |
according to the International Red Cross. Overnight the storm | :30:58. | :31:01. | |
progressed into Haiti and the Turks and Caicos Islands. The British | :31:02. | :31:04. | |
Virgin Islands are the latest to report major damage and death. The | :31:05. | :31:09. | |
government there has reported a state of emergency. The government | :31:10. | :31:13. | |
says the first military flight to the Caribbean will leave from RAF | :31:14. | :31:16. | |
Brize Norton this morning with military personnel, Russians and | :31:17. | :31:21. | |
water on board. Earlier On Breakfast, the department for | :31:22. | :31:24. | |
international developer to set it was time to get a there is quickly | :31:25. | :31:28. | |
as possible. Some of the islands on the northern leeward side were badly | :31:29. | :31:31. | |
hit. That is Anguilla and Barbuda, and as far as we know, the British | :31:32. | :31:35. | |
Virgin Islands have also been really badly hit. There has been to | :31:36. | :31:40. | |
indicate and is issues with those places, and we are hoping to get in | :31:41. | :31:45. | |
on to the ground tomorrow to the British Virgin Islands. The ship, | :31:46. | :31:53. | |
the Mounts Bay, was in Anguilla today and delivered the first | :31:54. | :31:57. | |
assistance. They are also moving to the research Virgin Islands to get a | :31:58. | :31:58. | |
better picture of the need to there. An earthquake with a magnitude | :31:59. | :32:01. | |
of eight has hit southern Mexico. The quake struck 75 miles | :32:02. | :32:04. | |
off the Pacific coast, But buildings shook in Mexico City | :32:05. | :32:06. | |
hundreds of miles away. There are no reports so far of any | :32:07. | :32:11. | |
major damage or casualties. -- Reuters news is reporting that at | :32:12. | :32:21. | |
least two people are dead. As an army warning centre said hazardous | :32:22. | :32:24. | |
waves could be possible within the next three hours. -- The Tsunami | :32:25. | :32:29. | |
Warning Centre. Young offenders from ethnic minority | :32:30. | :32:36. | |
backgrounds will become "the next generation" of adult criminals | :32:37. | :32:39. | |
unless the justice system is reformed, according to a review | :32:40. | :32:41. | |
led by the MP David Lammy. The report makes more than 30 | :32:42. | :32:45. | |
recommendations including allowing some prosecutions to be deferred | :32:46. | :32:47. | |
or even dropped if suspects get treatment for issues such as drug | :32:48. | :32:50. | |
or alcohol problems. We have now created a situation in | :32:51. | :33:04. | |
our country were 41% of our youth prison system, that is, young people | :33:05. | :33:09. | |
as young as ten and as old as 18, is from a black or minority ethnic | :33:10. | :33:13. | |
background. I mean, that is more than double the amount of black and | :33:14. | :33:17. | |
ethnic minority young people in our country. That is a significant issue | :33:18. | :33:23. | |
and it suggests that our adult prison population will grow as well | :33:24. | :33:27. | |
if we do not try and do something about this. | :33:28. | :33:29. | |
The government is accusing Labour of a "cynical" attempt to block | :33:30. | :33:32. | |
The bill paves the way for leaving the European Union in March 2019. | :33:33. | :33:37. | |
Labour and other opposition parties have promised to vote against it | :33:38. | :33:40. | |
next week insisting it gives sweeping powers to ministers | :33:41. | :33:42. | |
The Brexit secretary David Davis claimed Britons "will not forgive" | :33:43. | :33:46. | |
Labour if they try to "delay or destroy" the process of leaving | :33:47. | :33:50. | |
A 13-year-old girl from Somerset, whose organs were donated | :33:51. | :33:55. | |
after her death, has saved or transformed the lives of eight | :33:56. | :33:58. | |
patients - that's a record for a single donor in the UK. | :33:59. | :34:02. | |
Jemima Layzell collapsed with a brain aneurysm and died four | :34:03. | :34:04. | |
Five of the patients who received life-saving transplants | :34:05. | :34:11. | |
Jemima's story is part of an NHS campaign appealing for more donors. | :34:12. | :34:21. | |
There are thousands of people waiting for a transplant, three | :34:22. | :34:27. | |
people per day dying. If you would be willing to accept an organ you | :34:28. | :34:30. | |
should be willing to donate, and that is what we are asking people to | :34:31. | :34:34. | |
consider, and make that decision that they will support organ | :34:35. | :34:35. | |
donation. The Royal Navy's second aircraft | :34:36. | :34:36. | |
carrier will be formally named Work on the ship has been halted | :34:37. | :34:39. | |
for the naval tradition which dates back thousands of years | :34:40. | :34:44. | |
and combines a celebration The naming will be carried out | :34:45. | :34:46. | |
by the Duchess of Cornwall, with a bottle of whisky to be | :34:47. | :34:50. | |
smashed against the carrier at the ceremony at | :34:51. | :34:53. | |
Rosyth Dockyard in Fife. Now, I use a type of person who when | :34:54. | :35:05. | |
you take the train to work, you are constantly on your phone or your | :35:06. | :35:11. | |
tablet? -- are you the type. Or do you enjoy the view. These passages | :35:12. | :35:19. | |
in Germany were treated to some initial -- passengers in Germany | :35:20. | :35:22. | |
were treated to some unusual sites. What are they doing? It is all part | :35:23. | :35:28. | |
of an artistic theatrical show called Moving Countryside, taking | :35:29. | :35:34. | |
place alongside the tracks. You would look out the window to look | :35:35. | :35:38. | |
out about, wouldn't you? That is wonderful, isn't it? That was a | :35:39. | :35:43. | |
traffic light in the middle of a field, with somebody on a bicycle | :35:44. | :35:47. | |
waiting for the lights to turn red. It is art. The moving shrubbery was | :35:48. | :35:52. | |
my favourite. You would wonder whether it was just an optical | :35:53. | :35:56. | |
illusion, or whether you had been up to late the night before. A bit like | :35:57. | :36:00. | |
Lord of the rings. What do you have for us? Well, the cricket is a | :36:01. | :36:08. | |
headline writer's dream. Big Ben still striking in London at Lord's. | :36:09. | :36:12. | |
England's Ben Stokes, reached a new career high, | :36:13. | :36:14. | |
taking 6 wickets for just 22 runs on the first day of the third | :36:15. | :36:18. | |
and deciding test against West Indies at Lord's. | :36:19. | :36:20. | |
He took apart the Windies' middle order, restricting them to a total | :36:21. | :36:23. | |
of 123, but poor batting from his team-mates has | :36:24. | :36:26. | |
England resume this morning on 46 for 4. | :36:27. | :36:39. | |
Obviously we still have to score runs to try to get ahead of them, | :36:40. | :36:45. | |
but I think it will be one of those wickets where there is a period of | :36:46. | :36:50. | |
plays and is misses and not scoring too much, but if we can get 100 past | :36:51. | :36:53. | |
their scoring we will fancy ourselves. | :36:54. | :36:54. | |
There will be two new faces in the women's US Open final. | :36:55. | :36:57. | |
Unseeded Sloane Stephens held her nerve overnight to beat | :36:58. | :37:00. | |
Venus Williams in three sets in New York. | :37:01. | :37:02. | |
The defeat means 37-year old Venus misses out on returning to the US | :37:03. | :37:05. | |
Open final, 15 years after her last. | :37:06. | :37:09. | |
I'm super happy to be in a Grand Slam final, | :37:10. | :37:12. | |
I wasn't playing well, just wasn't playing well. | :37:13. | :37:14. | |
There are moments when you have to dig deep and figure out how | :37:15. | :37:18. | |
to get the ball on the court and have a big game. | :37:19. | :37:21. | |
I can't be tentative in figuring out how to get that ball in. | :37:22. | :37:24. | |
I haven't played her in a long time, clearly she's seen me playing many, | :37:25. | :37:29. | |
many times, but I haven't seen her play as much. | :37:30. | :37:32. | |
I'm super happy to be in a Grand Slam final, | :37:33. | :37:35. | |
and to do it here, obviously my home slam, it's even more special. | :37:36. | :37:39. | |
I think this is what every player dreams about. | :37:40. | :37:41. | |
And unfortunately - fortunately but unfortunately - | :37:42. | :37:43. | |
But having four Americans in the semifinals, I think that says | :37:44. | :37:47. | |
a lot about American tennis and where we are right now. | :37:48. | :37:57. | |
Waiting for Sloane Stephens in the final will be fellow | :37:58. | :38:00. | |
American Madison Keys - she beat Coco Vandeweghe in just | :38:01. | :38:02. | |
It means it will be the first time since the Williams sisters met | :38:03. | :38:09. | |
in 2002 that Flushing Meadows has hosted a women's final featuring two | :38:10. | :38:13. | |
We've seen the last of players like Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain moving | :38:14. | :38:22. | |
between Premier League clubs once the season starts. | :38:23. | :38:25. | |
Clubs have voted to close next summer's transfer window, | :38:26. | :38:28. | |
It will close at 5:00 on the Thursday evening | :38:29. | :38:32. | |
Manchester United and Manchester City were among five clubs who voted | :38:33. | :38:36. | |
The window overseas will remain the same, so players | :38:37. | :38:39. | |
could still leave their clubs, after the deadline in England | :38:40. | :38:42. | |
Everton manager Ronald Koeman said he is very disappointed | :38:43. | :38:51. | |
at Wayne Rooney's drink-driving charge and the player will be "dealt | :38:52. | :38:54. | |
with internally at the appropriate time." | :38:55. | :38:58. | |
Rooney is currently on bail ahead of a hearing on September 18th. | :38:59. | :39:02. | |
Koeman also confirmed that the former England captain | :39:03. | :39:04. | |
will play for Everton against Tottenham on Saturday. | :39:05. | :39:08. | |
I am very disappointed at this situation regarding Wayne Rooney. | :39:09. | :39:10. | |
We have spoken, that was last Tuesday, and the chairman, | :39:11. | :39:13. | |
Bill Kenwright, spoke also to Wayne about this situation. | :39:14. | :39:15. | |
In line with any disciplinary matter, this will be dealt | :39:16. | :39:18. | |
Britain's Chris Froome has extended his overall lead | :39:19. | :39:40. | |
The Tour de France winner attacked inside the final mile of Stage 18, | :39:41. | :39:45. | |
to claw back 20 seconds on his nearest rival, | :39:46. | :39:47. | |
He now leads the Italian by more than 90 seconds. | :39:48. | :39:53. | |
Meanwhile, things aren't going so well on the Tour of Britain | :39:54. | :39:56. | |
Geraint Thomas could only finish 8th on the 10-mile individual time | :39:57. | :40:00. | |
That leaves him 9th overall, 19 seconds behind Lars Boom, | :40:01. | :40:04. | |
who won the stage to take the overall lead from Sky's Elia | :40:05. | :40:07. | |
In Super League, St Helens kept their top four hopes alive | :40:08. | :40:15. | |
with a dramatic 18-16 late win at Wakefield. | :40:16. | :40:18. | |
Jonnie Lomax with the winning try - with just three minutes remaining, | :40:19. | :40:21. | |
Saints are up to fifth, one point behind Wakefield with two | :40:22. | :40:25. | |
Now, he's walked away unscathed from motorbike crashes at 80 miles | :40:26. | :40:35. | |
per hour, but Cal Crutchlow is a doubt for this weekend's | :40:36. | :40:37. | |
Misano MotoGP because of a savage piece of cheese. | :40:38. | :40:48. | |
The cheese! The Parmesan? You can demonstrate. He was cutting this | :40:49. | :40:59. | |
earlier this week and he severed tendon, which is important when you | :41:00. | :41:02. | |
are riding a motorbike. And you want Charlie to demonstrate! Have the | :41:03. | :41:06. | |
health and safety people cleared this? I think so. Most people | :41:07. | :41:14. | |
probably great they are Parmesan. I know that Dan Walker nearly lost a | :41:15. | :41:17. | |
finger once when he was grating Parmesan. You can't grate it with a | :41:18. | :41:21. | |
knife. That is a very blunt knife, too. People do slice it, and have | :41:22. | :41:31. | |
shavings. I use a potato peeler. You don't want about, just a bit of | :41:32. | :41:35. | |
cheese. In my experience, the problem with the Parmesan is this is | :41:36. | :41:39. | |
when you have a big piece like this and you have a greater it is fine, | :41:40. | :41:43. | |
because obviously your hands are some distance from the cheese. It is | :41:44. | :41:47. | |
when you get down to the last little corner and then you get your finger. | :41:48. | :41:51. | |
Absolutely. It is the latest in a long line of Czar sporting injuries | :41:52. | :41:54. | |
in the kitchen. You remember Dave Beasant, he dropped a jar of salad | :41:55. | :41:59. | |
cream in his foot. Ivan Letty got a fractured cheek and from chicken | :42:00. | :42:07. | |
wings. Chicken wings? They were thrown at him. It was not his fault. | :42:08. | :42:12. | |
Kurt Broadford was in hospital because of exploding poached eggs. | :42:13. | :42:15. | |
You have to be careful in the kitchen. | :42:16. | :42:25. | |
Well, he has learnt his lesson of the Parmesan. Very tasty, Parmesan. | :42:26. | :42:32. | |
Let's hope Cal Crutchlow is OK on the weekend. Absolutely. Thank you. | :42:33. | :42:35. | |
The first strike by UK pilots in 40 years has started a few hours ago. | :42:36. | :42:39. | |
Thomas Cook Airline pilots are unhappy over pay. | :42:40. | :42:41. | |
Yes, the 12-hour strike started at 3:00 this morning and will last | :42:42. | :42:45. | |
The pilots at Thomas Cook Airlines are unhappy over low pay rises | :42:46. | :42:53. | |
The airline says it's still planning to operate all scheduled flights | :42:54. | :42:59. | |
today, but it has changed some departure times. | :43:00. | :43:02. | |
Earlier we spoke to Brian Strutton, the General Secretary of the union, | :43:03. | :43:05. | |
the British Airline Pilots Association, which has | :43:06. | :43:07. | |
He said it was time for Thomas Cook to treat its members better. | :43:08. | :43:24. | |
Thomas Cook pilots have fallen behind other similar pilots in the | :43:25. | :43:32. | |
industry. They want to recover some of us lost ground. None of that is | :43:33. | :43:36. | |
unreasonable. Thomas Cook airlines have made profits of ?172 million. | :43:37. | :43:41. | |
They can afford a decent pay rise for their pilots. | :43:42. | :43:43. | |
That is the view of the union. Let's speak to Christoph Debus, the chief | :43:44. | :43:50. | |
executive of the airline. The union says you can afford it. And you? | :43:51. | :43:54. | |
Affordability is always key if you are talking about pay rises. We work | :43:55. | :43:59. | |
in an extremely competitive environment. Everybody knows that | :44:00. | :44:03. | |
cost control with the rise of the low-cost carrier is key. We want to | :44:04. | :44:07. | |
offer a great bike, which we do at Thomas Cook. We have to manage our | :44:08. | :44:11. | |
costs. We have offered our pilots a pay rise, 1.75% in Year 1, two .25% | :44:12. | :44:19. | |
in Year 2. On top of automatic increments of 1.8%. I think that | :44:20. | :44:22. | |
shows that it is clearly above inflation. So I think this is a | :44:23. | :44:27. | |
reasonable offer in very challenging times. It shows that we are willing | :44:28. | :44:33. | |
to talk. We have moved three times in the negotiation. Balpa hasn't | :44:34. | :44:40. | |
moved at all. We ask Balpa to come back in the best interests of our | :44:41. | :44:44. | |
customers and the business to revolt -- resolve this dispute. If you look | :44:45. | :44:48. | |
at public sector pay, rising but 1% and being capped at that, and if you | :44:49. | :44:52. | |
look at everybody else's pay, capped at 2%, it seems like a good deal. | :44:53. | :44:55. | |
Why are they not happy? It's an extremely fair deal, you | :44:56. | :45:04. | |
mention the numbers and in comparison it's extremely fair. If | :45:05. | :45:07. | |
you compare our pilot wages with other airlines, you have to compare | :45:08. | :45:14. | |
it with the relevant ones. Most our flights... Low-cost carriers have | :45:15. | :45:18. | |
lower levels than has. Our pay levels are very competitive in that | :45:19. | :45:25. | |
regard and we pay the highest pension contribution. We have a good | :45:26. | :45:29. | |
package for our pilots. We have been growing and creating new promotions | :45:30. | :45:35. | |
and we are overall and attractive employer. What was your last pay | :45:36. | :45:40. | |
rise? It was zero because I didn't get a pay rise this year. Let's talk | :45:41. | :45:46. | |
about the industry, its important prices and costs are being kept low, | :45:47. | :45:50. | |
you have to cut costs to compete, there's also saw challenges for the | :45:51. | :45:54. | |
industry, is it fair you ask the pilots to pay for that? In our | :45:55. | :45:58. | |
industry it's always a combination. We always want to provide affordable | :45:59. | :46:04. | |
high-quality holidays for our customers. We live in a competitive | :46:05. | :46:08. | |
environment, with the devaluation of the pound, we pay costs in US | :46:09. | :46:12. | |
dollars like fuel. We have to be very careful. I totally respect our | :46:13. | :46:19. | |
employees all our employees deserve a pay rise and I think you see from | :46:20. | :46:24. | |
our offer we are willing to get a pay rise -- give a pay rise but it | :46:25. | :46:28. | |
has to be appropriate, reasonable and affordable. I don't think if you | :46:29. | :46:33. | |
stack everything up, this is 10%. It doesn't fit into the times which we | :46:34. | :46:39. | |
are living in. It's the first pilots strike in 40 years, do you get a | :46:40. | :46:43. | |
sense of the anger they feel? What happens if they don't come back to | :46:44. | :46:47. | |
the negotiating table and they say we won't work for what you are | :46:48. | :46:52. | |
offering? We are a group of 22,000 employees, I get so much feedback | :46:53. | :46:57. | |
from other employees who said stay firm in this dispute because you are | :46:58. | :47:01. | |
offering a reasonable offer. This morning all flights have departed on | :47:02. | :47:05. | |
time, you can see there are also many pilots who love what they do, | :47:06. | :47:11. | |
flying the aircraft, bringing our customers safely to their | :47:12. | :47:15. | |
destination so I think it has to be affordable and fair for everyone. We | :47:16. | :47:19. | |
want to resolve that and we hope they will come back to the table. | :47:20. | :47:23. | |
You said you have had to change the flight times slightly but most if | :47:24. | :47:26. | |
not all are leaving as planned. This morning all flights have left on | :47:27. | :47:31. | |
time or even ahead of time. I want to talk about the hurricane, we've | :47:32. | :47:35. | |
been talking about events in the Caribbean. What are your plans to | :47:36. | :47:40. | |
get people back safely? I know you're not sending people over but | :47:41. | :47:45. | |
what are your plans? The customer is our key principle. What we did on | :47:46. | :47:51. | |
Wednesday, we have sent our specialist assistant team to the | :47:52. | :47:54. | |
Dominican Republic and Cuba, which are the most impacted. We have got | :47:55. | :48:01. | |
people in Cuba out of a dangerous area. It's not in the path of the | :48:02. | :48:07. | |
hurricane. On the weekend we will send empty aircraft to bring | :48:08. | :48:10. | |
customers back and we are currently in our crisis team, which is working | :48:11. | :48:17. | |
on a 24-hour basis. We are monitoring the situation. It might | :48:18. | :48:22. | |
be that we have to delay further flights, we delayed one from | :48:23. | :48:26. | |
yesterday to today, we will delay one potentially. Good to talk to | :48:27. | :48:32. | |
you. The Chief Executive of Thomas Cook airlines. Can I ask a question? | :48:33. | :48:42. | |
The pilots strike has started? Yes. Who is buying the planes? Pilots are | :48:43. | :48:47. | |
coming in, non-union members and other pilots who might be in the | :48:48. | :48:51. | |
union but don't support the strike. Are they Thomas Cook pilots? Yes, | :48:52. | :48:57. | |
they are the anyone's allowed to fly the planes. Thanks very much. | :48:58. | :49:00. | |
Here's Sarah with a look at this morning's weather. | :49:01. | :49:04. | |
Good morning. It is quite mixed at the moment, it feels like summer has | :49:05. | :49:13. | |
gone and we are into autumn? That's right, we have some unsettled | :49:14. | :49:16. | |
autumnal weather on the cards but it's not going to be a complete | :49:17. | :49:20. | |
washout. Where you see the sun come through this time of year, | :49:21. | :49:23. | |
temperatures doing reasonably well but through the course of today it's | :49:24. | :49:27. | |
that real mix of sunshine, showers and it is quite blustery as well. | :49:28. | :49:32. | |
Low pressure, certainly in charge at the moment, sitting out to the | :49:33. | :49:36. | |
north-west of the UK, and we have the winds rattling around that area | :49:37. | :49:40. | |
of low pressure so bringing scattered showers and some longer | :49:41. | :49:44. | |
spells of rain, especially in parts of southern England through the day. | :49:45. | :49:49. | |
Heading into the afternoon, scattered showers across Scotland | :49:50. | :49:51. | |
and Northern Ireland, some will be quite heavy and slow moving. You | :49:52. | :49:56. | |
could have the odd rumble of thunder around and temperatures generally in | :49:57. | :50:00. | |
the mid-teens. Heading our way south across the country, again that mix | :50:01. | :50:05. | |
of sun sunny spells, plenty of showers and in some parts of | :50:06. | :50:09. | |
southern England could merge into longer spells of rain. Don't be | :50:10. | :50:14. | |
surprised if you see some thunderstorms. Towards the | :50:15. | :50:17. | |
south-west of England, you should see a bit of brightness breaking | :50:18. | :50:21. | |
through in between the showers. Onto this evening, we're going to see the | :50:22. | :50:25. | |
showers tending to ease away. They will continue in the north and west | :50:26. | :50:30. | |
for a time but in eastern areas you will see clearer spells. By early | :50:31. | :50:36. | |
Saturday, temperatures holding on in double figures in the towns and | :50:37. | :50:39. | |
cities but colder than that in the countryside. On Saturday it is | :50:40. | :50:43. | |
western parts continuing to see the breezy, showery weather but further | :50:44. | :50:48. | |
east and you're more likely to stay dry. Having said that, during the | :50:49. | :50:53. | |
afternoon showers become once again a bit more widespread. Another day | :50:54. | :50:57. | |
of sunshine and showers and temperatures of between 15 and 18. | :50:58. | :51:02. | |
Into the second half of the weekend, a small ridge of high pressure. | :51:03. | :51:05. | |
Sunday for many of us should start on a dry note but it won't last all | :51:06. | :51:10. | |
that long. The next area of low pressure brings wet and windy | :51:11. | :51:13. | |
weather initially towards the north-west on Sunday, that will | :51:14. | :51:17. | |
creep these words later in the day but I think probably towards the | :51:18. | :51:20. | |
south-east you should have a relatively good deal of drier and | :51:21. | :51:23. | |
slightly brighter weather but temperatures nothing to write home | :51:24. | :51:27. | |
about and feeling chilly with the breeze and showers. A bit of an | :51:28. | :51:32. | |
unsettled story over the next few days. | :51:33. | :51:33. | |
Thanks very much. Let's see what the weather conditions are like. This is | :51:34. | :51:41. | |
Morecambe. This week we have seen all types of weather, some days have | :51:42. | :51:45. | |
been beautiful, today has a slightly more brisk look to it, a bit nippy | :51:46. | :51:50. | |
in Morecambe Bay. Stunning nevertheless. John Maguire is there. | :51:51. | :51:56. | |
With those views come great memories of taking lovely walks down the | :51:57. | :52:00. | |
beach. John, that's what you're talking about today? That's right. | :52:01. | :52:07. | |
We are calling this whether eclectic because we've had pretty much a bit | :52:08. | :52:11. | |
of everything this morning. Wonderful views at Morecambe Bay and | :52:12. | :52:15. | |
Steve, the cameraman, is giving you a panoramic view. Here's the Midland | :52:16. | :52:21. | |
hotel, recently refurbished, looking up north to the Lake District, you | :52:22. | :52:25. | |
get that thing in this country, mountains behind the seat. Out of | :52:26. | :52:30. | |
the vast expanse of Morecambe Bay you could see wind farms in the | :52:31. | :52:33. | |
distance. A lovely spot. The seaside is so magical. It's the boomerang | :52:34. | :52:38. | |
effect, why do we keep coming back Chris when I we found out why you | :52:39. | :52:41. | |
love the seaside. My favourite memory is jumping off | :52:42. | :52:59. | |
the rocks. My favourite memory is watching the kids jumping off the | :53:00. | :53:02. | |
rocks with my heart in my mouth knowing they're having fun. | :53:03. | :53:07. | |
What was yours, love? Possibly being in South Shields a couple of weeks | :53:08. | :53:14. | |
ago performing Beauty and the Beast. She's in character. It's good that, | :53:15. | :53:16. | |
that, isn't it? The only thing I remember of the | :53:17. | :53:22. | |
coast is having barbecues after getting results and stuff like that. | :53:23. | :53:28. | |
To cheer you up after results. Whenever things gone wrong it's nice | :53:29. | :53:32. | |
to go down to the water and just, sort of, chill. | :53:33. | :53:37. | |
My favourite memory is when Leon took me to the coast in Devon for | :53:38. | :53:49. | |
the first time. Within the UK. I've never been before so the coast is | :53:50. | :53:53. | |
absolutely beautiful. I did and realise how gorgeous the coast | :53:54. | :53:54. | |
actually is. Me and my sister making sandcastles | :53:55. | :54:02. | |
and I knocked them all over. My favourite memory of being at the | :54:03. | :54:11. | |
seaside was only a few weeks ago when I got engaged to my girlfriend | :54:12. | :54:19. | |
in Devon and we swam out to a rock in the middle of the sea and I | :54:20. | :54:23. | |
thought I'd like to marry this lady so | :54:24. | :54:27. | |
hopefully you at home joined us in going, ah, when he told us about | :54:28. | :54:35. | |
getting engaged. Morecambe Bay looking eclectic and lively, is it | :54:36. | :54:41. | |
the sight, sound and smell that brings us back? What about the | :54:42. | :54:45. | |
future? Matt Smith is from the centre for entrepreneurs. How do we | :54:46. | :54:51. | |
regenerate our formerly beloved seaside towns and ensure they have a | :54:52. | :54:56. | |
vibrant future? We think it's the entrepreneurs that help build the | :54:57. | :54:59. | |
seaside towns in the Victorian era and they will help them revive by | :55:00. | :55:05. | |
bringing ideas, investment and jobs. It sounds easy, one assumes it's | :55:06. | :55:10. | |
not. What is the key, what is the secret? Every seaside town needs a | :55:11. | :55:15. | |
unique selling point. What sets aside real from Llandudno, what sets | :55:16. | :55:25. | |
aside Morecambe from other places. Padstow is known for food, Newquay | :55:26. | :55:30. | |
for sport, Blackpool for its nightlife, what will attract people | :55:31. | :55:33. | |
to every seaside town and how can the local authority and the | :55:34. | :55:37. | |
businesses help build that? That's crucial, that council by in, making | :55:38. | :55:42. | |
sure the cash is there but making sure the council will get on board | :55:43. | :55:47. | |
as well? You need the entrepreneurial drive of the elected | :55:48. | :55:51. | |
councillors and officials, they need to like saying yes to businesses and | :55:52. | :55:54. | |
to entrepreneurs with their ideas. Thanks very much. Fascinating to | :55:55. | :55:59. | |
hear your views this morning and to hear about the future of our once | :56:00. | :56:04. | |
beloved now still very much appreciated coastal towns. We're | :56:05. | :56:09. | |
going to come back later to talk more about the future of these | :56:10. | :56:13. | |
places and we will also meet some of our coastal champions, you've been | :56:14. | :56:17. | |
nominating them, some of the people that make a real difference around | :56:18. | :56:20. | |
the fantastic British coastline. Talk later. Look forward to it. | :56:21. | :56:26. | |
Thanks very much. This is the shot from the drone. Looks fantastic. | :56:27. | :56:30. | |
Almost like the weather conditions up why look different to the ground | :56:31. | :56:34. | |
because it looks much brighter. I wonder if it is as good where you | :56:35. | :56:36. | |
are this morning. Time now to get the news, | :56:37. | :56:37. | |
travel and weather where you are. Plenty more on our website | :56:38. | :59:59. | |
at the usual address. Now, though, it's back | :00:00. | :00:03. | |
to Charlie and Naga. This is Breakfast, with | :00:04. | :00:05. | |
Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty. More than one million | :00:06. | :00:09. | |
people have been hit The British Virgin Islands | :00:10. | :00:10. | |
are the latest to report The governor declares | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
a state of emergency. All of us have been affected by | :00:15. | :00:23. | |
Irma, some more than others. Apart from the structural damage, there | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
have sadly been reports of casualties and fatalities. | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
It's predicted another 26 million people are at risk from the giant | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
storm in the coming days - major tourism areas in Cuba | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
Good morning it's Friday, 8th September. | :00:38. | :00:53. | |
A warning of race bias in the British justice system - | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
a Government-backed report warns that young people | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
Pilots working for Thomas Cook airlines have gone on strike. It is | :01:01. | :01:13. | |
the first industrial action by UK pilots in 40 years. I've been | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
hearing from the union and the airline's boss about what has gone | :01:17. | :01:17. | |
wrong. In sport, Big Ben is still striking | :01:18. | :01:18. | |
- at Lords, at least. Ben Stokes takes six wickets | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
on a crazy day at Lords, with both the West Indies and then | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
England suffering batting collapses From Big Brother to | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
the Million Pound Drop, Davina McCall has fronted some | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
of TV's biggest shows. Now, she's tackling some | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
of life's biggest issues - We are at the beach this morning. It | :01:34. | :01:49. | |
is the last day of our trip around the UK's coast. This is Morecambe | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
Bay. It is cloudy at the moment, but what about the rest of the country? | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
Sarah can tell us. Fairly similar skies across many parts of the | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
country, quite a lot of cloud around bringing heavy showers today. There | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
will be some balances of sunshine in between the showers. We will have a | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
full round-up of the UK weather, as well as at Hurricane Irma. | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
The path of destruction brought by Hurricane Irma has now affected | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
more than one million people across the Caribbean. | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
At least 14 people have been killed, and a state of emergency has been | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
declared at the British Virgin Islands. | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
Overnight, the British Overseas Territory of Turks and Caicos has | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
The hurricane is projected to move to the Bahamas and Cuba where mass | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
evacuations are underway, before it reaches | :02:35. | :02:36. | |
This is what it's like to look out of your hotel room | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
in the Turks and Caicos, knowing that one of the strongest | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
storms in recent memory is heading your way. | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
Starting to hear the noise of the wind as well, | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
But we're not even close to the worst bit yet. | :02:53. | :03:01. | |
On the British Virgin Islands there have been | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
With communications severely disrupted, the governor issued this | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
audio message declaring a state of emergency. | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
All of us have been affected by Irma, and some more than others. | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
Apart from the structural damage, the have sadly been reports | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
My thoughts and prayers are with each and everyone of you. | :03:22. | :03:33. | |
At least one person is believed to have died on the British | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
territory of Anguilla, where residents sheltered | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
in the strongest part of their homes for safety. | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
We were in the bath with a mattress above us. | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
That's how we sort of managed to keep safe and dry. | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
I think a lot of people were in a similar situation. | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
We've seen houses with cars that have been just picked up | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
Barbuda was one of the first islands to be hit by Irma. | :03:57. | :04:04. | |
It is now less than 48 hours away from the impact | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
Jose has sustained wind speeds of 120 mph and it looks likely | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
to gain in strength over the next day or two. | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
Let's pick up on those people that are affected already, and the fact | :04:15. | :04:37. | |
it has Florida and Cuba in its sights? There is estimated to be up | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
to 10,000 British holiday-makers on Cuba. Some of them have been moved | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
away from the coastal resorts. The advice for the others still in the | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
resorts is to stay in their hotels, because those buildings are built to | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
withstand hurricanes like this. As for Florida, not many people going | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
there at the moment, nobody heading there for the weekend because | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
international airports will be shut down. In terms of the British | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
Government's aid operation, there had been some criticism that it was | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
slow to get off the mark. What is happening now? Teams from the | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
foreign office will be heading out to the region today and they will be | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
offering consular assistance to those hit by the hurricane. They | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
will be working in parallel with the military teams, who will be offering | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
disaster relief. So, we have the Royal Fleet auxiliary ship already | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
in the area. It is helping citizens of the British territory of | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
Anguilla. It has helicopters on board, earth moving equipment and | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
emergency rations. Today there will be the first elements of a task | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
group heading out. They will be giant transport aircraft heading out | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
from RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire. The first plane leaving | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
this morning will have personnel on board. Again, relief supplies and | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
water rations. Some of the aircraft later on will be carrying | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
helicopters to the region. Finally, there is the flagship of the Royal | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
Navy, HMS Ocean, which will be leaving the Mediterranean to head | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
towards the Caribbean. That is carrying a lot of helicopters but it | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
will take ten days, two weeks to reach the area. It will then be | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
helping residents recover from not just one hurricane, but, by then, | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
two. An earthquake with a magnitude | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
of eight point four has The quake struck 75 miles | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
off the Pacific coast, But buildings shook in Mexico City | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
hundreds of miles away. Reuters news agency are reporting | :06:28. | :06:36. | |
that at least two people are dead. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre | :06:37. | :06:44. | |
said tsunami waves were hitting Mexico, | :06:45. | :06:46. | |
the biggest being more than two feet, and more hazardous waves | :06:47. | :06:48. | |
could be possible "within the next three hours" for the coasts | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
of Mexico and surrounding countries. Young offenders from ethnic minority | :06:52. | :06:59. | |
backgrounds will become the next generation of adult criminals unless | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
the justice system is reformed, according to a review led by the MP | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
David Lammy. The inquiry makes a series of recommendations. These | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
include allowing some prosecutions to be deferred or even dropped if | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
suspects receive treatment for issues such as drug or alcohol | :07:15. | :07:15. | |
problems. Noel Williams was 11 when he first | :07:16. | :07:16. | |
got involved in gangs. By the age of 13 he was imprisoned | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
for robberies and drug dealing. I'm in and out of the system, | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
been there three times. A lot of bullying goes | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
on and as we say lack of prison staff so they don't pick up | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
on certain things, people are self-harming, | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
if they don't cut their arms He's now turned his life around | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
but he believes race and ethnicity plays a part in how you're treated | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
and punished within It's unjust, of course it's unjust, | :07:43. | :07:44. | |
and if you look at the sentences we get, they're longer, | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
sentences are harsher and people are coming out not rehabilitated, | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
sometimes they come out and reoffend at an accelerated rate | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
to their counterparts too. The Lammy Review makes a number | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
of key recommendations, such as removing identifying | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
information about ethnicity when cases are passed from police | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
to prosecutors so racial bias doesn't influence | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
charging decisions. I'm very worried about our | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
prison system, I think where there's clearly overt | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
discrimination going on and some of the treatment | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
is just unacceptable. It's one of the largest reviews | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
of its kind and highlights that radical reform is urgently needed | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
to bring fairness to The government is accusing Labour | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
of a "cynical" attempt to block The bill paves the way for leaving | :08:35. | :08:43. | |
the European Union in March 2019. Labour and other opposition | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
parties have promised to vote against it next week, | :08:50. | :08:51. | |
insisting that it gives sweeping powers to ministers | :08:52. | :08:53. | |
but reduces MPs to spectators. Brexit Secretary David Davis claimed | :08:54. | :09:07. | |
Britain would not forgive Labour if it tries to delay or destroy the | :09:08. | :09:08. | |
process of leaving the EU. More than 160,000 Rohingya have fled | :09:09. | :09:24. | |
to Bangladesh since unrest erupted there two weeks ago. Aung San Suu | :09:25. | :09:33. | |
Kyi has been widely criticised for failing to condemn the violence. | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
A 13-year-old girl from Somerset, whose organs were donated | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
after her death, has saved or transformed the lives | :09:40. | :09:41. | |
of eight patients - that's a record for a single donor | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
with a brain aneurysm and died four days later in hospital. | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
Five of the patients who received life-saving transplants | :09:49. | :09:50. | |
Jemima's story is part of an NHS campaign appealing for more donors. | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
There are thousands of people waiting for a transplant. | :09:56. | :09:57. | |
If you would be willing to accept an organ you should be | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
willing to donate an organ, and that is what we are asking | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
people to consider, and make a decision that they will | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
The Royal Navy's second aircraft carrier will be formally named | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
Work on the ship has been halted for the naval tradition which dates | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
back thousands of years and combines a celebration with | :10:19. | :10:20. | |
The naming will be carried out by the Duchess of Cornwall, | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
with a bottle of whisky to be smashed against the carrier | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
at the ceremony at Rosyth Dockyard in Fife. | :10:30. | :10:37. | |
Is that a traditional, whiskey? I am sure it used to be champagne. | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
Possibly because it is in Fife? The Ministry of Defence says that | :10:43. | :10:58. | |
the first aid to the Caribbean will leave from RAF Brize Norton this | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
morning. Duncan is there. Obviously this cannot get there quickly | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
enough? Absolutely, those preparations are under way. As you | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
say, they are urgently needed in the Caribbean. This flight will be | :11:12. | :11:13. | |
taking off about 10am. It is what they call a C17 Globemaster. It is | :11:14. | :11:25. | |
capable of carrying 80 tonnes of equipment. We are not sure what that | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
equipment is yet. This is very last minute stuff. All they have loaded | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
so far as some water. You might be able to see it there. 50 passengers, | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
50 RAF personnel will be on the advance party flight. They are | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
heading to Barbados first of all and then they are hoping to get into the | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
British Virgin Islands after that. It all depends on what capacity they | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
have on the ground to take big aircraft like this. They won't know | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
this until they get into the region. Later this morning, a second RAF | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
aircraft, Voyager, will be leaving at about 11:30am. That will have 180 | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
passengers on board, RAF experts used to tackling these issues in | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
hurricane areas and earthquake areas and the like. People not carrying | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
much kit, they are the experts, the physical comic human side of it. | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
This is the advance flight with the kit. They will team up in the | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
region. -- the physical, human side of it. | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
Let's talk more about the relief effort. Gemma Su is from the | :12:32. | :12:39. | |
University of Manchester. Simon Calder is our travel editor. First, | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
we were seeing some of the early preparations. We have heard from | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
people in the region this morning, major issues around communications. | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
Really basic stuff, getting in and out, or knowing the scale of the | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
problem? This is really the critical period. We have had a lot of talk | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
about how much money has been pledged by the UK government. It | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
really is a matter of when it is going to arrive. We have | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
organisations, local organisations on the ground that need resources to | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
meet immediate needs, water, food and shelter. It is a critical | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
period, a life and death situation. Some of the islands we are talking | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
about are bigger islands. We were hearing from one of the experts a | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
little earlier on. Some of the island communities are tiny. It's | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
just a few thousand people. They are very remote places. It could take | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
some time to them? That is absolutely true. But it is important | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
to remember that there are local populations. They are the first | :13:40. | :13:46. | |
responders. There will be local organisations which have... Well, | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
I'm not sure how much capacity, but there is often the capacity to | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
respond, but it is a matter of getting there as quickly as possible | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
to support and shoulder the burden of responsibility at this time, | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
because it is such a devastating earthquake. Time is of the essence. | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
Simon, what is happening in terms of flights out of the region, into the | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
region? We are concerned about the people living there, obviously, but | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
we need to talk about the tourist destinations, highly popular | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
destinations and people are stranded there? There are about 10,000 people | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
in Cuba, which is next in line. There have been many concerns, | :14:24. | :14:31. | |
particularly about three islands, off the northern coast of Cuba. | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
Talking to holiday-makers, they were very, very worried about what was | :14:36. | :14:42. | |
going to happen. Late yesterday, Cuban authorities said, right, | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
everybody out. They evacuated everybody out to a less vulnerable | :14:48. | :14:54. | |
resort and to have an. There are some flights to the Dominican | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
Republic today. They were delayed until the storm had passed. People | :14:59. | :15:05. | |
will be coming back on those. British Airways, Thomas Cook | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
airlines, sending out a aircraft to bring people back. But flights are | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
still continuing. British Airways is flying out to Miami this morning. | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
They have said, do not get on this aircraft unless you have somewhere | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
to stay, because many of the hotels are closing down. The tour | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
operators, they all have different policies, confusingly. It is well | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
worth talking to your travel agent or tour operator. You can get your | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
money back if you have a holiday booked? Some of them you can. Thomas | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
Cook is basically saying if you are going to the region, up to and | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
including the weekend, that includes Orlando in Florida, you can get a | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
full refund or switch to an alternative destination. Thomson, | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
the bigger tour operators not being that generous. It is partly because | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
there is no overall government warning, from the foreign office, | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
saying, everybody out of the areas. If there were, there might be a more | :15:57. | :15:57. | |
co-ordinated approach. Looking particularly at Barbuda | :15:58. | :16:08. | |
yesterday, they are looking at such levels of devastation, and loss of | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
life is the first thing that people look at, but beyond that, this is a | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
place that relies so much on tourism, and the notion of how | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
quickly they could try and get things together is a real worry. It | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
is awful, and we have seen in previous events like this on other | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
islands, it can take a decade to rebuild the tourist industry. Of | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
course, you are going well beyond the immediate human tragedies to a | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
longer lasting issue of people's livelihoods. There has been much | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
about the reaction from wealthier countries and how quickly eight has | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
been given - do you have a view on this? Definitely. There is talk | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
about how much has been pledged and how quickly, but I think there is an | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
absolute responsibility of wealthier nations to step in and take the | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
burden of responsibility. The UK and France in particular? Yes, but not | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
just because of them being British and French territories, but a level | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
of global social justice that wealthy nations should step in when | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
there are countries that are so vulnerable and have been so | :17:18. | :17:19. | |
devastated, there is a responsibility to help these | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
nations. Simon and Gemma, thank you for your time this morning. The time | :17:24. | :17:30. | |
is 17 minutes past eight. I'm sure Sarah will take a look at | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
the intricacies of how these hurricanes are moving across. We | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
have Hurricane Jose following Hurricane Irma. | :17:40. | :17:51. | |
Katya is not such a big storm as Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Jose. | :17:52. | :18:00. | |
It is the peak of the hurricane season in the moment. | :18:01. | :18:09. | |
You can see the huge size of that hurricane here on the satellite | :18:10. | :18:17. | |
image. It is about the same size of France -- the same size as France. | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
It has already caused catastrophic damage, and every is more to come. | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
Over the next 24 hours or so, the storm will move towards Kumar. The | :18:26. | :18:33. | |
winds of up to 160 mph. The rainfall of half a metre or so, as well as a | :18:34. | :18:40. | |
significant storm surge, so very dangerous conditions, particularly | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
for the more low-lying islands. Hurricane Jose looks like it may | :18:45. | :18:50. | |
stay out towards the north-east. But it could hit Barbuda and Anguilla. | :18:51. | :18:58. | |
Lots going on the other side of Atlantic. Here, unsettled. Sunshine, | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
showers and quite breezy out there today, with low pressure driving the | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
weather and packing in no shower was from the West. There will be some | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
sunshine between the showers today, but some of them could be quite | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
heavy. Some prolonged rain across South Wales and southern England at | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
times, particularly the afternoon. It will be a windy in the south. | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
Slightly lighter winds for the North, across parts of Scotland. The | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
showers will be slow-moving, and there could be some thunderstorms | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
mixed in too, so don't be surprised that there is quite a bit of lying | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
water on the roads. A similar picture across Northern Ireland and | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
into northern England. A bit of brightness across Lincolnshire and | :19:43. | :19:48. | |
the Midlands. Apart from that, you're likely to see cloudy, wintry | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
conditions with outbreaks of rain. A bit of brightness in between the | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
showers. Temperatures are nothing to write home about - mid-teens for | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
most of us. This evening, we continue with the windy, showery | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
picture across north-western parts of the country. Further east, | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
clearer skies and less windy weather. A fresh start on Saturday, | :20:09. | :20:14. | |
particularly towards the east, where we could see temperatures down into | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
single figures. There will be some sunshine to start the day on | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
Saturday. Showers in the west of the country will drift to the east | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
through the day. Sunny spells in between, and temperatures by | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
tomorrow of 15-19dC. These temperatures certainly aren't | :20:31. | :20:39. | |
anything to write home about, but they haven't been for a while, they? | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
There are a little below average, but not too bad. The wind chill | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
makes things feel cooler with the shallows around too. Layers are | :20:49. | :20:50. | |
needed! Let's go straight to Ben and News of | :20:51. | :21:02. | |
the first pilots' strike in 40 years. | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
It is usually cabin crew that walk out, this time it is pilots. Pilots | :21:08. | :21:16. | |
at Thomas Cook started a strike this morning. They are unhappy over what | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
they call low pay rises. We have spoken to the union this morning, | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
and they said enough is enough. The airline says it plans to operate all | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
of its scheduled flights using nonunion pilots, but it has had to | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
change some departure times over the course of the day, so check before | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
you fly. The owner of the daily and Sunday | :21:39. | :21:47. | |
Mirror newspapers is selling the company. Trinity Mirror prints | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
regional papers as well, but it is thought the deal will need to be | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
signed off by the regulator before it goes ahead. | :21:58. | :22:05. | |
Another cyber attack has targeted a credit agency. It is described as a | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
colossal breach and it could affect nearly half the US population. It is | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
huge. It could affect people in Britain and Canada too. More than | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
140 million customers have had some information stolen in America alone. | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
We are told it is one of the largest attacks on record. Interesting times | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
as far as security is concerned. You are up-to-date. More from us later. | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
We've been talking this morning about nostalgic | :22:32. | :22:33. | |
trips to the seaside, and for people who visit Morecambe | :22:34. | :22:35. | |
one of their memories may have involve one of our Coastal | :22:36. | :22:38. | |
Since 1536, the monarch has appointed an official guide | :22:39. | :22:48. | |
to the dangerous quick sands that divide Lancashire and Cumbria. | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
Breakfast's John Maguire is there for us and can tell us more. | :22:52. | :23:04. | |
John is in marvellous Morecambe this morning. | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
Good morning to you, guys. It is getting warmer here. Charlie the dog | :23:11. | :23:18. | |
has just barked his appreciation. We have been talking and learning over | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
the last week about the sun, the C . But it is really about people's | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
relationship with the coast. That is what makes it so special to all of | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
us. We have brought along some of our coastal champions this morning. | :23:31. | :23:37. | |
We have Dave and Jan, who have come up from the Wirral. We have Bob and | :23:38. | :23:46. | |
Carol from Coastwatch. We have a villain, Lane, Bruce, Henry, Bernie | :23:47. | :23:53. | |
and last but not least, Cedric. Let's watch the amazing work that | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
Cedric does. I'm Cedric Robinson, | :23:57. | :23:58. | |
the Queen's Guide to the Sands of Morecambe Bay and I've been doing | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
that for 54 years this year. It's my job to get everyone | :24:02. | :24:08. | |
across the bay safely. In all the years I've been doing it | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
now, I reckon I've taken The problem is, these days, | :24:12. | :24:14. | |
these walks are so popular that keeping the numbers down | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
is getting more difficult. I was crossing the sands, | :24:20. | :24:27. | |
sat alongside HRH His Royal Highness Prince Philip, | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
with the Queen's horses. On the way, he said, | :24:32. | :24:33. | |
how on earth do you keep I said, well, the only thing | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
you can do is to live There are quicksands in the bay, | :24:38. | :24:45. | |
those are the most dangerous things. But also, when the tide comes in, | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
it has a saying, it can come in on the high tides as fast | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
as a horse can gallop. I was bred and born to the sands | :24:56. | :24:58. | |
from a very early age. I can read the sands | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
like you can open a morning When I retire from the sands, that | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
will be the worst day of my life. I just love the sands and... | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
I just love the sands. And Cedric is with us in the flesh. | :25:13. | :25:41. | |
I have been here all of my life come since the age of 14. I am now 84 | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
years young and I have been on those sands every day. I have learned to | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
read the sands when you read a newspaper -- like you read a | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
newspaper when you get up in the morning. It is a big responsibility, | :25:56. | :25:58. | |
really, but I never look at it that way because I am so laid back. I | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
never think of the danger out there, but it is out there for the unwary. | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
The Bay is one of the most dangerous ones in the world. It is nice to | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
know that you are here to keep us all safe and that nothing would faze | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
you. Evelyn, you work at the Winter Gardens here. We had some footage | :26:19. | :26:25. | |
earlier from 1901 which showed the Winter Gardens back then, and you | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
hope it will return to be a jewel in the crown for this resort? We formed | :26:30. | :26:36. | |
the friends in 1986, so we have been a pressure group trying to save the | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
building for 31 years. Now we have bought the building and it belongs | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
to the preservation trust. Why is it important to save a building like | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
that? Because we need people to come back into Morecambe, and it's one of | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
the things that will draw them in, like the Midland Hotel, the Winter | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
Gardens. They are buildings from the past, but you have to use things | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
like this. A building like that, built in 1897, you couldn't recreate | :27:04. | :27:09. | |
it, you couldn't afford to. And people now are coming into the | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
Winter Gardens more and more, so it is helping the town, helping the | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
area. Thanks to all the coastal champions. We will hear from more of | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
them later in the programme. As we have been saying all morning, not | :27:24. | :27:26. | |
just about the past in the present, but important to link these | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
wonderful assets to the seaside's future. Back to you. | :27:32. | :27:36. | |
Ruffled hair there. A little bracing at the seaside, maybe. Sorry, we cut | :27:37. | :27:45. | |
him off. You can't comment about a man's hair | :27:46. | :27:49. | |
and not let him reply! We will be back later on, so we will | :27:50. | :27:54. | |
have a chat with John then. It is time to get the news, travel and | :27:55. | :27:57. | |
weather where you are this morning. Hopefully it looks | :27:58. | :31:19. | |
I'm back with the latest in about half an hour. | :31:20. | :31:26. | |
Hello this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty. | :31:27. | :31:30. | |
1.2 million people have now been affected by the destructive | :31:31. | :31:40. | |
trail of Hurricane Irma according to the International Red Cross. | :31:41. | :31:42. | |
Overnight, the storm progressed into Haiti | :31:43. | :31:44. | |
The British Virgin Islands are the latest to report | :31:45. | :31:47. | |
major damage and deaths, where the Governor has declared | :31:48. | :31:50. | |
The Ministry of Defence say the first military flight | :31:51. | :31:53. | |
to the Caribbean will leave from RAF Brize Norton later this morning, | :31:54. | :31:56. | |
with military personnel, rations and water on board. | :31:57. | :31:58. | |
Earlier on BBC Breakfast, the Department for International | :31:59. | :32:00. | |
Development told us they were trying to get aid there as quick | :32:01. | :32:02. | |
Some of the islands on the north side have been badly hit. As far as | :32:03. | :32:17. | |
we know the British Virgin Islands have been badly hit. There have been | :32:18. | :32:23. | |
communication issues with those places. We are hoping to get onto | :32:24. | :32:27. | |
the ground tomorrow to the British Virgin Islands. The first assistance | :32:28. | :32:41. | |
was delivered. They will be moving to the British Virgin Islands to get | :32:42. | :32:42. | |
a better picture of the needs there. Simon Cross, originally | :32:43. | :32:52. | |
from Essex, has lived in the British Virgin Islands for two years. He's | :32:53. | :32:55. | |
been talking to us this morning about the impact of hurricane Irma. | :32:56. | :33:05. | |
It is the early hours of the morning at the moment. It is quiet. You can | :33:06. | :33:12. | |
hear a chapter in the distance, hopefully clearing the roads. There | :33:13. | :33:15. | |
is plenty of debris entries. The only method of getting around | :33:16. | :33:21. | |
anywhere is by car. It's a mountainous place. You cannot do | :33:22. | :33:23. | |
anything without a car. That's really important, that the roads are | :33:24. | :33:30. | |
clear, that the place is completely safe. We managed to go into town | :33:31. | :33:36. | |
today and check on properties. The state of the properties, they are in | :33:37. | :33:43. | |
a terrible state at the moment. We just hope as much work can be done | :33:44. | :33:49. | |
overnight. And some sort of preparation. But in truth it feels | :33:50. | :33:53. | |
like the island is on its knees, to be honest. The last thing we want is | :33:54. | :33:59. | |
any bad weather, let alone a category three or whatever it is | :34:00. | :34:04. | |
proposed to be. Can you tell us what it was like when Irma hit? We've | :34:05. | :34:13. | |
seen pictures of buildings hit. We've seen dramatic images of people | :34:14. | :34:17. | |
hanging on the doors as they were being blown through. Tell us about | :34:18. | :34:21. | |
the ferocity of it when it hit the buildings. In our house it started, | :34:22. | :34:25. | |
the major warning was when the skylight was blown off our roof. You | :34:26. | :34:31. | |
could just hear the wind blasting through the upstairs of the house. | :34:32. | :34:35. | |
At that point we thought the roof was going to go. That was our main | :34:36. | :34:41. | |
indicator just to get downstairs, into the basement, into the most | :34:42. | :34:42. | |
secure part of the building. An earthquake with a magnitude | :34:43. | :34:47. | |
of eight has hit southern Mexico. The quake struck 75 miles | :34:48. | :34:50. | |
off the Pacific coast, But buildings shook in Mexico City | :34:51. | :34:52. | |
hundreds of miles away. There are no reports so far of any | :34:53. | :34:56. | |
major damage or casualties. At least two people are dead. The | :34:57. | :35:09. | |
Pacific tsunami warning Centre said tsunami waves were hitting Mexico. | :35:10. | :35:14. | |
The biggest being more than two feet and more hazardous waves could be | :35:15. | :35:18. | |
possible within the next three hours. That is for the coast of | :35:19. | :35:20. | |
Mexico and surrounding countries. Young offenders from ethnic | :35:21. | :35:22. | |
minority backgrounds will become "the next generation" of adult | :35:23. | :35:23. | |
criminals unless the justice system is reformed, according to a review | :35:24. | :35:26. | |
led by the MP David Lammy. The report makes more | :35:27. | :35:29. | |
than 30 recommendations including allowing some prosecutions to be | :35:30. | :35:31. | |
deferred or even dropped if suspects get treatment for issues such | :35:32. | :35:33. | |
as drug or alcohol problems. We have now created a situation in | :35:34. | :35:50. | |
our country where 41% of our youth prison system, that's people as | :35:51. | :35:55. | |
young as ten and as old as 18, is from a black or minority ethnic | :35:56. | :35:59. | |
background. That's more than double the amount of black and ethnic | :36:00. | :36:02. | |
minority young people in our country. That is a significant | :36:03. | :36:09. | |
issue. It suggests our adult prison population will grow, as well, if we | :36:10. | :36:13. | |
do not try and do something about it. | :36:14. | :36:16. | |
The government is accusing Labour of a "cynical" attempt to block | :36:17. | :36:19. | |
The bill paves the way for leaving the European Union in March 2019. | :36:20. | :36:23. | |
Labour and other opposition parties have promised to vote | :36:24. | :36:26. | |
against it next week insisting it gives sweeping powers to ministers | :36:27. | :36:28. | |
The Brexit secretary David Davis claimed Britons "will not forgive" | :36:29. | :36:32. | |
Labour if they try to "delay or destroy" the process | :36:33. | :36:34. | |
A 13-year-old girl from Somerset, whose organs were donated | :36:35. | :36:40. | |
after her death, has saved or transformed the lives | :36:41. | :36:42. | |
of eight patients - that's a record for a single donor | :36:43. | :36:45. | |
Jemima Layzell collapsed with a brain aneurysm and died four | :36:46. | :36:50. | |
Five of the patients who received life-saving transplants | :36:51. | :36:55. | |
Jemima's story is part of an NHS campaign appealing for more donors. | :36:56. | :37:07. | |
The Royal Navy's second aircraft carrier will be formally named | :37:08. | :37:09. | |
Work on the ship has been halted for the naval tradition | :37:10. | :37:13. | |
which dates back thousands of years and combines a celebration | :37:14. | :37:15. | |
The naming will be carried out by the Duchess of Cornwall, | :37:16. | :37:19. | |
with a bottle of whisky to be smashed against the carrier at the | :37:20. | :37:22. | |
If you're planning to take a train to work this morning, | :37:23. | :37:30. | |
will you be looking out of the window? | :37:31. | :37:34. | |
The passengers on board this journey in Germany were treated | :37:35. | :37:36. | |
Men on ladders saluting the train, running trees in a nearby field | :37:37. | :37:44. | |
It's all part of a theatrical show called 'Moving Countryside' | :37:45. | :37:51. | |
They are doing stuff alongside the track to give people a bit of | :37:52. | :38:04. | |
theatre, including releasing cars, and all sorts of mad stuff. | :38:05. | :38:07. | |
The performances are designed to bring the city | :38:08. | :38:09. | |
Think about that when you are travelling into work this morning. | :38:10. | :38:13. | |
That would be all right. Sarah will have the weather | :38:14. | :38:14. | |
in around 10 minutes' We've shed a tear with her | :38:15. | :38:21. | |
as she reunited siblings on 'Long Lost Family' and now | :38:22. | :38:26. | |
Davina McCall is tackling the issues of mental health, | :38:27. | :38:28. | |
stress and parenting - she'll be on the sofa | :38:29. | :38:30. | |
to tell us why. We're in Morecambe as part | :38:31. | :38:33. | |
of our Coastal Britain series exploring why happy memories | :38:34. | :38:35. | |
of childhood visits to the coast are good for us and why | :38:36. | :38:37. | |
so many of us still like to be The Manchester Arena holds it's | :38:38. | :38:41. | |
first concert since May's bomb Rick Astley's one of acts | :38:42. | :38:57. | |
involved and is with us. The cricket could be over today if | :38:58. | :39:22. | |
it continues like yesterday. He cannot take your attention of it for | :39:23. | :39:28. | |
a second. This man was the star. Ben Stokes. Michael Vaughan has called | :39:29. | :39:31. | |
him a freak because of the magic he can produce the turn a game around. | :39:32. | :39:34. | |
Freak in a good way. England's Ben Stokes, | :39:35. | :39:36. | |
reached a new career high, taking 6 wickets for just 22 runs | :39:37. | :39:38. | |
on the first day of this deciding He took apart the Windies | :39:39. | :39:41. | |
middle order, restricting them to a total of 123, | :39:42. | :39:45. | |
but poor batting from his team mates England resume this | :39:46. | :39:48. | |
morning on 46 for 4. There will be two new faces | :39:49. | :39:55. | |
in the women's US Open final. Unseeded Sloane Stephens, | :39:56. | :39:58. | |
held her nerve, overnight to beat Venus Williams, | :39:59. | :40:00. | |
in three sets in New York. The defeat means 37-year old Venus, | :40:01. | :40:02. | |
misses out, on returning, to the US Open final, | :40:03. | :40:05. | |
15 years after her last. I was not playing well. Just wasn't | :40:06. | :40:19. | |
playing well. There are moments when you have to dig deep, think about | :40:20. | :40:23. | |
how to get the ball on the court. I have a big game. I can't be | :40:24. | :40:27. | |
tentative and figure out how to put the ball in. I have figured a lot. | :40:28. | :40:32. | |
She played great defence. I have not played in a long time. She has seen | :40:33. | :40:36. | |
me play many times, but I have not seen her play as much. -- issue has | :40:37. | :40:42. | |
not played in a long time. I'm super happy to be in a grand slam final. | :40:43. | :40:46. | |
To do it in my home slam makes it more special. It's what every player | :40:47. | :40:53. | |
dreams about. Fortunately but unfortunately I have to play Venus, | :40:54. | :41:00. | |
but having four Americans in this position in the tournament says a | :41:01. | :41:04. | |
lot about Americans and where we are now. | :41:05. | :41:05. | |
Waiting for Sloane Stephens in the final, will be fellow | :41:06. | :41:08. | |
American Madison Keys - she beat Coco Vandeweghe in just | :41:09. | :41:10. | |
It means it will be the first time since the Williams sisters met | :41:11. | :41:15. | |
in 2002 that Flushing Meadows has hosted a women's final featuring | :41:16. | :41:17. | |
Britain's Chris Froome, is on the verge of another | :41:18. | :41:23. | |
historic achievment - he's extended his overall lead | :41:24. | :41:25. | |
at the Vuelta a Espana, as he tries to become, | :41:26. | :41:28. | |
only the third man ever, and the first Briton, | :41:29. | :41:30. | |
to win the Vuelta and Tour de France double, in the same year. | :41:31. | :41:33. | |
With two more stages to go, he's increased his lead over rival, | :41:34. | :41:36. | |
Vincenzo Nibali, to over, a minute and a half. | :41:37. | :41:38. | |
Meanwhile, things aren't going so well on the Tour | :41:39. | :41:40. | |
Geraint Thomas could only finish eighth, on the ten | :41:41. | :41:43. | |
mile individual time trial, in Clacton. | :41:44. | :41:45. | |
That leaves him ninth overall, nineteen seconds behind Lars Boom, | :41:46. | :41:47. | |
who won the stage to take the overall lead from | :41:48. | :41:50. | |
It is getting to crunch time in the super league. | :41:51. | :42:03. | |
St Helens kept their top 4 hopes, alive with a dramatic 18-16 | :42:04. | :42:06. | |
Jonnie Lomax, with the winning try with just three minutes remaining, | :42:07. | :42:09. | |
Saints are up to 5th, one point behind Wakefield with 2 to play. | :42:10. | :42:13. | |
We have seen the last of players like Oxlade-Chamberlain moving | :42:14. | :42:17. | |
between Premier League clubs once the season has started. Clubs have | :42:18. | :42:19. | |
voted to close next summer's transfer window before the campaign. | :42:20. | :42:24. | |
It will close at 5pm on a Thursday evening before the first match | :42:25. | :42:28. | |
begins. Manchester United at Manchester City were among five | :42:29. | :42:31. | |
clubs who voted against the proposal. They said the window | :42:32. | :42:36. | |
overseas remains the same. So players could be poached by the big | :42:37. | :42:40. | |
European clubs after deadline. The English clubs would not have | :42:41. | :42:44. | |
anywhere to go, they would not be able to buy any players. | :42:45. | :42:47. | |
The fans can just focus on the football. No more nonsense about who | :42:48. | :42:54. | |
wants to beware. Davina has joined us to talk about | :42:55. | :42:59. | |
the transfer window. I have. The curtains closing over the window. | :43:00. | :43:05. | |
What do you think? It's a good idea. Most clubs agree with you. We've had | :43:06. | :43:19. | |
a vote. We said no feet. Their clean! | :43:20. | :43:24. | |
What are you doing? You take off your shoes and socks to | :43:25. | :43:28. | |
inspire the next generation to take it up. Why are you doing that? | :43:29. | :43:36. | |
To inspire a younger audience. Nice shoes. | :43:37. | :43:40. | |
Some people don't like other people's feet. | :43:41. | :43:46. | |
They are clean. I don't mind, it is just a bit | :43:47. | :43:50. | |
early. People are eating breakfast. I will put them back on. | :43:51. | :43:56. | |
Thanks. You did not come here to talk about his feet. | :43:57. | :44:02. | |
He didn't. You are a professional TV presenter, you can deal with all | :44:03. | :44:05. | |
sorts of live situations. That's right. Off he goes. Causing chaos. | :44:06. | :44:14. | |
Some people get the jitters with live television. You probably feel | :44:15. | :44:21. | |
at home. I feel weird recording now. It feels odd and it takes hours. | :44:22. | :44:26. | |
With live TV, once it is done it is done. And when you record they want | :44:27. | :44:31. | |
it to be absolutely perfect. Yes, you have to keep doing it again. | :44:32. | :44:36. | |
When it is live it is done. Would you like an official introduction? | :44:37. | :44:39. | |
Yes. A familiar face on the small screen, | :44:40. | :44:42. | |
Davina McCall began her career on MTV before going on to present | :44:43. | :44:45. | |
the cult hit Streetmate and then consoling and celebrating | :44:46. | :44:48. | |
with the housemates of Big Brother. More recently we've seen her | :44:49. | :44:51. | |
reuniting family members Now you have a new programme. I | :44:52. | :45:03. | |
don't know how to describe it. It's weird. A discussion programme? It | :45:04. | :45:10. | |
feels self-indulgent. I wanted to go for Arendse on various life topics. | :45:11. | :45:15. | |
And get a mixture of people who were trying to deal with those topics and | :45:16. | :45:20. | |
expert in that field. -- I wanted to go for a mixture on various life | :45:21. | :45:25. | |
topics. Part of what you are trying to do is have enough time. There is | :45:26. | :45:27. | |
no three-minute segments. It is a look at a topic for an hour. | :45:28. | :45:42. | |
It was mental health on Monday, we had some amazing, jaw-dropping | :45:43. | :45:45. | |
contributors. There was a man called Jake who had attempted to take his | :45:46. | :45:51. | |
own life, and threw it had just learned so brilliantly and | :45:52. | :45:54. | |
eloquently how to talk about his experience and is now going around | :45:55. | :45:58. | |
the country sharing to try to help other people. It all sounds so | :45:59. | :46:03. | |
worthy but he was such an amazing man. It is difficult to describe, | :46:04. | :46:09. | |
but we can show. We will let the clip do the talking. | :46:10. | :46:11. | |
These are stats on stigma and discrimination from | :46:12. | :46:13. | |
the Annual British Social Attitudes Survey. | :46:14. | :46:15. | |
44% of people would feel uncomfortable working with someone | :46:16. | :46:18. | |
who's experienced symptoms of psychosis | :46:19. | :46:19. | |
they wouldn't feel comfortable having someone with depression look | :46:20. | :46:23. | |
And the only way you can get rid of ignorance, | :46:24. | :46:36. | |
and the only way you can get rid of stigma, is by teaching | :46:37. | :46:39. | |
Can I ask you something, do you go and talk places...? | :46:40. | :46:44. | |
Don't you think it's like listening to the Dalai Lama of mental health? | :46:45. | :46:48. | |
You obviously meet some great characters, but once you do really | :46:49. | :47:14. | |
had to quit open up, and some familiar faces as well. Doctor | :47:15. | :47:19. | |
Christian was on last week and we had such an amazing talk on Twitter | :47:20. | :47:25. | |
afterwards and during the show about perfectionism, which is something | :47:26. | :47:31. | |
that is really so raw at the moment with everybody on social media all | :47:32. | :47:34. | |
the time posting pictures of themselves, which I am also | :47:35. | :47:39. | |
extremely guilty of doing. Guilty, or do you just do? Is it something | :47:40. | :47:44. | |
to be guilty about? On Instagram I will endlessly post pictures or | :47:45. | :47:48. | |
films of myself with no make-up on after a run when I am sweating | :47:49. | :47:53. | |
terribly or whatever, but I do take 30 pictures of myself sometimes then | :47:54. | :47:57. | |
choose the best one before posting it, and do I say that? No. Should I | :47:58. | :48:03. | |
start saying this is one of 30? Maybe. | :48:04. | :48:08. | |
You cover the quest for perfectionism and mental health, you | :48:09. | :48:12. | |
look at self-esteem issues as well... Happiness. All issues you | :48:13. | :48:17. | |
could quite justifiably say, I know about tackling these. It has been | :48:18. | :48:21. | |
well documented and you have spoken about it before, your addictions, | :48:22. | :48:25. | |
your difficulties and your transformation into being very | :48:26. | :48:28. | |
focused on health and being fit. How much of this programme is about | :48:29. | :48:35. | |
you...? All of it. It was my idea, my baby, and in a way, I guess it | :48:36. | :48:39. | |
was slightly self-indulgent because I was thinking be fantastic for me | :48:40. | :48:43. | |
because I will learn so much. But I hope that in the process of me | :48:44. | :48:47. | |
having the best time ever making a TV show that everybody else will | :48:48. | :48:52. | |
learn something. In recording it I learnt so much, but then in watching | :48:53. | :48:57. | |
it back I have learned even more, it is one of those shows where you | :48:58. | :49:00. | |
could have recorded an watch maybe three or four times and keep | :49:01. | :49:04. | |
learning you take something away every time you see it. | :49:05. | :49:09. | |
I have always called myself a work in progress, for anybody else on a | :49:10. | :49:13. | |
journey of self-discovery, this will be the programme for you. And | :49:14. | :49:17. | |
anybody that does not want to learn anything about yourselves, you might | :49:18. | :49:20. | |
just pick something up. It is funny meeting you, Divina, I | :49:21. | :49:25. | |
feel like I almost know you because you are on telly so much. You are a | :49:26. | :49:30. | |
very good listener, I was watching you listening to Naga, you are one | :49:31. | :49:35. | |
of those very positive listeners, that is a big thing, but also, are | :49:36. | :49:41. | |
you a big... I think you wear your heart on your sleeve, how do you | :49:42. | :49:44. | |
resist hugging all the people you speak to who have problems, are you | :49:45. | :49:49. | |
the kind of person who normally instinctively does that? I do like | :49:50. | :49:53. | |
hoax, but I have also tried to learn to ask if somebody wants one. -- I | :49:54. | :50:01. | |
do like a serve. Sometimes I think I know if somebody wants a hug, but | :50:02. | :50:05. | |
sometimes you need to feel what you are feeling without me making you | :50:06. | :50:10. | |
feel better. In Long Lost Family there raw emotions. Occasionally I | :50:11. | :50:19. | |
say, would you like a hug? Because I say I can't quite read this. If | :50:20. | :50:25. | |
somebody goes, I'm OK, I'll go, OK. How much did your family history | :50:26. | :50:29. | |
affect you on that job? It has been spoken about your history with your | :50:30. | :50:35. | |
mum, your sister? My sister passing away, whenever I have a sister story | :50:36. | :50:44. | |
on Long Lost Family I am so happy, I always think, what a gift to be | :50:45. | :50:48. | |
given a sister out of the blue. Whenever somebody says to me would | :50:49. | :50:52. | |
you change anything about your life, I really wouldn't, because all of my | :50:53. | :50:56. | |
experiences in my life, I am definitely not a victim, I see | :50:57. | :51:00. | |
myself as a very positive person who has used everything that has | :51:01. | :51:03. | |
happened to me in a positive way, but that maybe makes me empathise | :51:04. | :51:07. | |
with people, which is good for what I do. | :51:08. | :51:15. | |
Are you going on a bit of a run this weekend? I am going on a run, | :51:16. | :51:18. | |
people! I am doing the Great North Run on Sunday. I am really nervous, | :51:19. | :51:21. | |
I had a calf injury about two weeks ago and I am praying it will hold | :51:22. | :51:27. | |
out. Have you done before? No. Is this the longest you have done? I | :51:28. | :51:32. | |
did a couple of marathons when I did the Sport Relief challenge, when I | :51:33. | :51:36. | |
was on this programme daily sobbing, every day when I did that. Look at | :51:37. | :51:45. | |
that! Every day I was on this show, weeping. The Great North Run is 13.1 | :51:46. | :51:50. | |
miles, a half marathon, it should be really good. Really good fun, I have | :51:51. | :51:55. | |
heard Newcastle is amazing. Is your calf OK? I don't know. You are not | :51:56. | :52:00. | |
training, you are giving it a rest. Sensible. Good luck. A lovely to see | :52:01. | :52:02. | |
you. The Davina Hour is on the W channel | :52:03. | :52:11. | |
on Monday at 9pm. Here's Sarah with a look | :52:12. | :52:15. | |
at this morning's weather. Low pressure dominating things, this | :52:16. | :52:24. | |
is the scene in Norfolk this morning, Gorleston on Sea, you can | :52:25. | :52:29. | |
see lots of cloud. You will see brightness breaking through the | :52:30. | :52:34. | |
clouds. Low pressure will sit to the North west of the UK. They will be | :52:35. | :52:39. | |
drawing and plenty of shallots, these clouds, and longer spells of | :52:40. | :52:43. | |
rain across parts of south Wales and southern England later. Further | :52:44. | :52:47. | |
north, a little bit more brightness in between showers, particularly for | :52:48. | :52:50. | |
eastern Scotland through the morning and sheltered easterly parts of | :52:51. | :52:54. | |
Northern Ireland. Some of the showers could be slow moving through | :52:55. | :52:58. | |
the afternoon, with the thunderstorm, particularly across | :52:59. | :53:01. | |
central Scotland, where we are likely to see lying surface water | :53:02. | :53:09. | |
with the heavy downpours and thunderstorms. A similar picture for | :53:10. | :53:11. | |
Northern Ireland, fairly breezy with a mix of bright intervals and plenty | :53:12. | :53:14. | |
of showers, a few showers creeping into northern England in the | :53:15. | :53:17. | |
Midlands, some sunshine in between and temperatures around 16 or 17 at | :53:18. | :53:21. | |
best, feeling cooler in the breeze and with the outbreaks of rain | :53:22. | :53:25. | |
towards London, Sussex and the Isle of Wight. | :53:26. | :53:28. | |
Perhaps a more brightness towards the south-west breaking through the | :53:29. | :53:33. | |
afternoon, but still some showers and quite blustery. | :53:34. | :53:36. | |
This evening and overnight, we will continue to see blustery showers for | :53:37. | :53:40. | |
many northern and western parts, further east, slightly lighter winds | :53:41. | :53:43. | |
and drier weather. It will turn chilly first thing on Saturday, | :53:44. | :53:47. | |
still looking at double figures in the towns and cities but it could be | :53:48. | :53:52. | |
a bit colder in the countryside. Many of us wake up to sunshine on | :53:53. | :53:56. | |
Saturday, particularly central and eastern parts. Further west, we | :53:57. | :54:00. | |
already have showers which become more bright -- widespread as they | :54:01. | :54:04. | |
thought eastwards later in the day. Not a complete wash-out on Saturday, | :54:05. | :54:09. | |
temperatures generally in the mid to high teens. | :54:10. | :54:11. | |
Onto the second half of the weekend we start to see though showers ease | :54:12. | :54:15. | |
away Saturday night, a small ridge of high pressure. It does not stick | :54:16. | :54:20. | |
around too long on Sunday, the next weather system works in from the | :54:21. | :54:24. | |
Atlantic. Sunday should start a dry and across | :54:25. | :54:27. | |
parts of eastern England we could keep the sunshine for part of the | :54:28. | :54:30. | |
day at least, but wet and windy weather moves on from the western | :54:31. | :54:34. | |
spread eastwards through the day, bringing us, all in all, a fairly | :54:35. | :54:40. | |
unsettled and autumnal weekend. Thank you very, very much. | :54:41. | :54:44. | |
The smell of the sea, the taste of fish and chips, | :54:45. | :54:46. | |
and breathtaking views, there's always been something | :54:47. | :54:48. | |
about the seaside which has drawn many of us to the coast. | :54:49. | :54:51. | |
When icy that beach, we're talking about things that make you feel | :54:52. | :54:56. | |
good, I think sitting on a beach like that, cheese and pickle | :54:57. | :55:02. | |
sandwich and a quality Scotch egg, it doesn't matter. It could rain, | :55:03. | :55:08. | |
whatever. Scotch egg? I will go with you with this project, not the | :55:09. | :55:12. | |
cheese and pickle sandwich. That would be a happy family. I would | :55:13. | :55:19. | |
want something hot, fish and chips, why not? | :55:20. | :55:21. | |
As part of our Coastal Britain series, Breakfast's John Maguire | :55:22. | :55:23. | |
is taking a trip down memory lane in Morecambe for us this morning. | :55:24. | :55:27. | |
It is absolutely lovely there this morning. | :55:28. | :55:32. | |
Good morning, John. Good morning, Naga. Marvellous Morecambe really | :55:33. | :55:36. | |
has looked after us, the weather has improved hugely. Cheese and pickle | :55:37. | :55:40. | |
sandwiches, scotch eggs? Most people eat fish and chips on the beach, | :55:41. | :55:44. | |
don't they, but each to their own. There is the nostalgic link with the | :55:45. | :55:48. | |
past, something about the seaside, weather it takes us back to | :55:49. | :55:52. | |
childhood innocent days, holidays, the feel of the sand between your | :55:53. | :56:03. | |
toes, the call of the goals, the sound of the ocean. Something | :56:04. | :56:05. | |
magical looking back. It is important for resorts to survive to | :56:06. | :56:08. | |
look forward. We will start by looking back, way back. | :56:09. | :56:10. | |
The past, not a different country but a British seaside town. | :56:11. | :56:13. | |
It's 1901 and just look at how busy it is. | :56:14. | :56:19. | |
This footage has recently been released online | :56:20. | :56:22. | |
by the British Film Institute, one of 160 films from around | :56:23. | :56:24. | |
It shows hordes of holiday-makers and day-trippers. | :56:25. | :56:31. | |
These are the early days of mass tourism. | :56:32. | :56:35. | |
Jacqueline and Derek Osborne have made the long drive north | :56:36. | :56:37. | |
from their home in Essex each summer for the past 30 years. | :56:38. | :56:46. | |
The feeling we had then, it wasn't brilliant, was it? | :56:47. | :56:48. | |
It always looked like it had seen better days but in subsequent years | :56:49. | :56:52. | |
Certainly over the last ten to 15 years it's improved. | :56:53. | :56:59. | |
I love the shopping, I like the scenery as well. | :57:00. | :57:05. | |
Your sister, Doris, she is 90 now and she likes the seafront | :57:06. | :57:10. | |
because it's lovely and flat and it's easy for me to push | :57:11. | :57:13. | |
Looking back when Lee and Andrew used to come along the rock | :57:14. | :57:20. | |
pools with us on holiday, he liked to climb on the rock pools | :57:21. | :57:23. | |
and falling over and cutting himself badly that time, | :57:24. | :57:25. | |
And what is it about the seaside that draws people back, | :57:26. | :57:33. | |
Researchers at the University of Central Lancashire | :57:34. | :57:39. | |
Now we're suddenly starting to get data in that nostalgia is good | :57:40. | :57:45. | |
for us, it makes us feel better, it's a great antidote to the stress | :57:46. | :57:48. | |
of everyday life so we want to say to what extent it does impact | :57:49. | :57:52. | |
upon people's well-being and potentially to their health. | :57:53. | :57:58. | |
The seaside is a perfect place for that because the seaside | :57:59. | :58:00. | |
is something that doesn't change and can trigger nostalgic memories. | :58:01. | :58:06. | |
Last weekend, Morecambe was packed to the gunwales with around 40,000 | :58:07. | :58:09. | |
people here for the vintage by the sea festival. | :58:10. | :58:14. | |
The designer Wayne Hemingway, born and bred here, | :58:15. | :58:20. | |
There's a massive movement for British people especially | :58:21. | :58:25. | |
the young to rediscover the British seaside, it's four of them forward | :58:26. | :58:28. | |
thinking, people want to come here and it to be busy. | :58:29. | :58:36. | |
All round the country there are coastal events springing up. | :58:37. | :58:40. | |
Nostalgia is part of it because it brings the intergenerational thing | :58:41. | :58:43. | |
and to bring that kind of busy feeling back to a coastal town, | :58:44. | :58:47. | |
we can start to bring the coastline back again. | :58:48. | :58:55. | |
So the big challenge for many of our seaside | :58:56. | :58:58. | |
to celebrate and conserve the best of the past while also | :58:59. | :59:02. | |
We will pick up on that point in a moment, but first let's say hello to | :59:03. | :59:13. | |
some of your coastal champions. Good morning. We will talk to them in a | :59:14. | :59:16. | |
second, but considering that themes you are talking about in the film, | :59:17. | :59:21. | |
joined by Doctor David Gerrit from the University of Central Lancashire | :59:22. | :59:26. | |
and Matt Smith from the Centre For Entrepreneurs. We have a street | :59:27. | :59:29. | |
sweeper in the background, thanks to the Council for making sure it looks | :59:30. | :59:34. | |
prim and proper. What is the secret to try and ensure there is a future | :59:35. | :59:40. | |
for places like this? I think you need to retain what | :59:41. | :59:43. | |
makes the seaside special, the sense of being like the seaside, heritage, | :59:44. | :59:47. | |
places like the Winter Gardens which you can see in Morecambe, along with | :59:48. | :59:54. | |
facilities which modern day consumers expect. You work with what | :59:55. | :59:57. | |
you've got, you work with the Ukraine and bring it up to the | :59:58. | :00:02. | |
standards of modern day. You retain your sense of place, your unique | :00:03. | :00:08. | |
selling points. We like to think we are more discerning these days. What | :00:09. | :00:16. | |
role still entrepreneurs play? About they will bring investment to the | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
towns. They rely on investment from the public sector, the peers, | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
promenades and Internet connections, but the entrepreneurs will create | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
jobs and improve the area and attract tourists. Let's mix of our | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
coastal champions, firstly fog, Carol and the dog. Charlie looks | :00:39. | :00:49. | |
very happy. Fog is a national coast watch and... Volunteer, why did you | :00:50. | :00:56. | |
nominate him? I was out walking Charlie, my sister's trained support | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
dog. I collapsed and Charlie Bach for help, as support dogs are | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
trained to do. Luckily the National coast watch institutions or what | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
have happened because they keep an eye on a stammer and they came down | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
to make sure I am OK, that I did not need any help and they helped me get | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
home safely. Why do you do it? I retired early. | :01:18. | :01:31. | |
After spending a year of playing golf and doing not a lot else I got | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
bored and by chance I heard an advert on radio Lancaster for | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
volunteers to join the national coast watch. I made enquiries. It | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
looked like something I would enjoy and possibly would help me get back | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
into the community. That is why I enjoy it. Thank you. We have | :01:49. | :01:56. | |
volunteers from the Winter Gardens. It's one of the most iconic | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
buildings in the town. We have Cedric here. As well as Dave and Jan | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
who have just come up from the Wirral. You call yourself the New | :02:07. | :02:16. | |
Brightoners. What do you do? With clear the beach of litter. We have | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
over 1000 members on Facebook. It's brilliant. One of our members, Wayne | :02:20. | :02:28. | |
Dixon and his dog, is cleaning around the coast of Britain. He is | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
taking a few years to do that. We have the people who started it, the | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
Roberts, they started it. You have lots of volunteers. Yes. And I | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
imagine it is nice to get out and have a walk on the beach? We love | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
the beach. We love that environment. We like to keep it clean. Trying to | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
keep all of the rubbish out of the oceans, as well, because it can kill | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
animals. Plastics can be eaten. It's a real problem. It would be great if | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
people could stop dropping it, then we wouldn't have to keep going round | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
picking it up. Absolutely. Good point. We like to keep it clean on | :03:12. | :03:19. | |
Breakfast. Why is the title Michael Winter Gardens such an important | :03:20. | :03:27. | |
building? -- why is the winter Gardens such an important building? | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
I'm one of the volunteers. It's improving over time. The more | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
publicity it gets, the more people use it, the better it will be, | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
because then we get a bit of money, we spend a bit of money, and we can | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
do the alterations. It's good for someone like me to work in a | :03:46. | :03:54. | |
building like that and to work with retired professional builders. It's | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
really good. It keeps you off the streets. Off the streets, keeps me | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
busy, and I'm still learning. You and me both. Thanks everybody for | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
talking. Thank you for your contributions. That is how they | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
became our coastal champions here this morning. We had a wonderful | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
morning. It's rounded up the series very nicely. | :04:17. | :04:29. | |
From Morecambe, back to you guys in the studio. | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
Some great champions. And Charlie the dog the star. Absolutely | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
gorgeous. Thanks very much. | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
We'll be speaking to Rick Astley in a moment but first a last, | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
No, I'm not, that's it for this where you are this morning. | :04:47. | :06:25. | |
No, I'm not, that's it for this morning. | :06:26. | :06:26. | |
Now though it's back to Charlie and Naga. | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
Tomorrow night the Manchester Arena, the site of the horrific terror | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
attack in May which claimed 22 lives, will officially reopen. | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
The venue will host a special benefit concert to honour those | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
affected and will feature bands including Noel Gallagher's | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
High Flying Birds, The Courteeners and Blossoms - | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
along with our next guest, the singer Rick Astley. | :06:45. | :07:03. | |
Good morning. How did you get involved? Like most people I got an | :07:04. | :07:14. | |
e-mail. I instantly said yes when asked. I'm not from Manchester. But | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
it's where I went to my first gig, it's where I bought my first record, | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
I went to that town for everything. It is a place people have an | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
affinity with, especially with music. Absolutely. It has a rich | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
history of music. Just a great city. I still get excited about coming to | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
Manchester. And the venue we will be in tomorrow night, I have sung there | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
80 times normal circumstances. But I've also opened up for Peter Kay | :07:46. | :07:55. | |
there. -- I have sung there a queue times in normal circumstances. Have | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
you done concerts before? I've done a few. | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
CHUCKLES What I meant was, you've done in | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
events like this which are marking loss of life, and that is the reason | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
people are there. At the same time, everybody wanted to be a | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
celebration. You guys will still perform, the crowds will enjoy what | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
they see. Absolutely. That the venue has had some amazing artists from | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
all over the world, and play there. That has to keep going. It was | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
absolutely terrible. There are no words for what happened. But | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
positive light has to be shown sometimes for us to get through | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
things. I think it's great that there will be an evening of | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
fantastic music, hopefully, and, you know, to celebrate. To get people | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
connected again. I was in Manchester the gig went on at the old -- Old | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
Trafford Cricket ground. The atmosphere was amazing. I was | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
worried about being in Manchester, not because of the reason, but | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
because of the mood. But it was amazing. It was incredible. It's | :09:12. | :09:19. | |
terrible things, you know, something like that brought everybody together | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
in such a special way, but I do think people have the get together | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
and figures positively. Have you done any rehearsals at the venue? | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
No. He's done a few gigs before, you know? | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
Has he really? I don't spend my days sitting on the beach eating cheese | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
and pickle sandwiches and Scott X. Fish and chips, I said. -- and | :09:44. | :09:58. | |
Scotch eggs. Isn't that what Alan Partridge eats? He comes here with | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
his big ideas. Prawn sandwich, maybe. You have not rehearsed but | :10:03. | :10:11. | |
you have been gigging. Yes. We have been gigging a lot. I'm comfortable | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
that it's going to be a fun night and a great night. You mentioned | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
some of the bands, it'll be a great line-up, great songs. Old and new | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
from you? I have to do some old ones. One of the things which makes | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
me realise I am getting older, I remember all of the music. Our | :10:36. | :10:42. | |
producers don't. Wow. OK. They are quite young. But we can remind them | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
and show them what they missed. # And if you ask me how I'm feeling | :10:49. | :11:02. | |
# Never gonna give you up never gonna let you down | :11:03. | :11:15. | |
# Never gonna make you cry #. You have not changed. You are a | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
lovely woman. Nice clothes. People are wearing that now. The clothes | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
then had their time. And the certain sounds in the music. You can hear | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
the new bands zoning into them. Do you know any of the other bands who | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
are playing? I don't. You know when bands do a song together? Yes. Are | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
you backstage, do you ask each other, do you want to join me? That | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
happens sometimes. I did a festival last week. Charlene from Texas sang | :11:51. | :12:07. | |
Highway To Hell. She was amazing. I like doing covers. You got out with | :12:08. | :12:18. | |
the -- you got up with the Foo Fighters. I did. We wanted to see | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
them anyway. We were at the side of the stage. Lo and behold, David | :12:26. | :12:36. | |
Grohl port Vale to the stage. I had never met them. It was amazing. I | :12:37. | :12:48. | |
like their version of Never Gonna Give You Up. It was amazing. Maybe | :12:49. | :12:57. | |
people who are going to turn up will hear something they never expected. | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
I'm really looking forward to seeing Noel Gallagher. I like his new | :13:02. | :13:09. | |
stuff. I liked Oasis, as well. It's a great line-up. There will be great | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
bands. It'll be a terrific occasion. Will he rehearse at some point | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
tomorrow? You've got to leave it for the stage. I will have a Scotch egg | :13:20. | :13:28. | |
first. And prawn sandwich! I don't want to go overboard. It has been a | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
pleasure having you. Thanks very much. | :13:33. | :13:33. | |
Rick will be performing at the We Are Manchester concert | :13:34. | :13:37. |
