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

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.

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.

: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,

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

: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

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

events. The first strike by UK pilots

in 40 years has started Thomas Cook Airline pilots

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

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

:18:30.:18:33.

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

led by the MP David Lammy. The report makes more than 30

recommendations including allowing some prosecutions to be deferred

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

if we do not try and do something about this.

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

patients - that's a record for a single donor in the UK.

Jemima Layzell collapsed with a brain aneurysm and died four

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

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.

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

The hurricane is projected to move to the Bahamas and Cuba where mass

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

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

:06:28.: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

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

:07:35.: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.

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

A 13-year-old girl from Somerset, whose organs were donated

:09:38.:09:39.

after her death, has saved or transformed the lives

If you would be willing to accept an organ you should be

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

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

so many of us still like to be The Manchester Arena holds it's

: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

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

: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.
