9:01 am
and there's a difference that happens. in sport, jordan spieth leads the open championship. prince george at four — a new official portrait is released to mark his birthday. good morning, it's looking like ace sunshine and showers we can for most of us, sunday probably looking like the better day of the two. all the details in 15 minutes. good morning. first our main story. almost 1,000 children are being forced into temporary accommodation every month because more families are becoming homeless, according to councils in england. the local government association says the number has increased by a third in three years. it wants more powers to build what are described as "genuinely affordable homes". 0ur social affairs correspondent michael buchanan reports councils say more than 900 children, what they describe as the equivalent of a secondary school, are becoming homeless each month. in total, they say more than 120,000 children
9:02 am
and their families are being supported in temporary accommodation, an increase of one third since 2014. councils in the south—east and major cities are dealing with the largest numbers. though cornwall and the isle of wight, for instance, also have significant problems. the councils say they need to build more affordable homes built. they want rules on borrowing relaxed so they can invest in housing development. councils need the power to intervene more in the homes market. we need more affordable housing built in the right place to provide people with decent affordable housing. we also need to be able to intervene earlier as well. rather than waiting for people to become homeless, we need to stop them becoming homeless in the first place. ministers say they are spending £550 million to tackle homelessness. and that a new bill passed earlier this year will prevent families from losing homes in the first place.
9:03 am
drone owners will have to complete a safety awareness course under plans announced by the government. the unmanned aircraft will also have to be registered, amid growing concern about the dangers they pose to planes. earlier this month, five flights were diverted from gatwick airport because a drone was flown too close to the runway. our technology correspondent rory cellan—jones reports. they've quickly become a very popular gadget, mostly used to take great aerial pictures. but as the use of drones has grown, so have concerns about the dangers they could pose. professional users already have to pass proficiency tests. now, the government wants to bring in wider regulation. the new rules mean any drone weighing more than 250 grams will have to be registered and the owner needs to complete a safety awareness test. and the use of geofencing, preventing drons flying near prisons and airports, will be expanded. drone misuse is unacceptable and we are actually doing something to
9:04 am
counter that. people flying safely have nothing to worry about. research by the airline pilots‘ union found a drone weighing 400 grams could damage a helicopter windscreen. although it would take a 2 kg drone to harm an airliner flying at high speeds. if there is a collision between a drone and a manned aircraft, be that an airliner or a helicopter, it could be catastrophic. we have to do something now to make sure that does not happen. there are plenty of commercial uses for drones. amazon is testing them for parcel delivery. the government says it's keen to promote an exciting technology while ensuring it's used responsibly. rory cellan—jones, bbc news. boots the chemist has apologised for its response to a row about what it charges for the morning—after—pill. the chain initially rejected calls to reduce the price, saying it didn't want to encourage the misuse of emergency contraception, but after criticism from a string of labour mps, it now says it's looking at lower priced alternatives.
9:05 am
0ur reporter tom burridge is outside one of theirflagship stores in london — tom this is a bit of a u—turn isn't it? they lot of criticism and now boot is saying something different? yes, boots has caved in to pressure on this one. the british pregnancy advisory service provide abortions in the uk, they call them all retailers to slash prices. but boot on thursday said it wouldn't because it didn't want to encourage overuse 01’ it didn't want to encourage overuse or misuse of the morning after pill. by or misuse of the morning after pill. by comparing prices, beat superstar shrimp doing a good fixing that both the cheapest option for the morning after pill is over £20. it is around half the price elsewhere. after the statement by
9:06 am
boots on thursday there was an angry letter from more than 30 female labour mps who all signed the letter, accusing boots of treating running like children and taking a moral position on an issue of choice, whether or not women want or do not want to take the morning after pill. so late last night we had an about turn by boots, saying they were truly sorry for the poor choice of words. they say this caused offence and misunderstanding, they now say they will look at providing cheaper alternatives for the morning after pill in their stores. tom, thank you. the outgoing white house press secretary sean spicer has told an american television network that he resigned, six months into thejob, because he feared there would be "too many cooks in the kitchen" if he remained. his time at the podium was marked by a number of clashes with reporters, the first of which, was the row over just how many people attended donald trump's inauguration. there were a couple of parts that were funny but a lot of it was over the line.
9:07 am
it wasn't funny. it was stupid or silly or malicious. but there are some skits that i've seen on late—night television that i had to crack up at. so sometimes it can be funny, some of the memes you have to laugh at yourself a little bit, but there are times that it goes from funny to mean. and there's a difference when that happens. an official photograph has been unveiled to mark prince george's fourth birthday. it was taken at kensington palace by royal photographer chris jackson, who described the young prince as a "happy little boy". the prince has just returned to the uk from an official visit to poland and germany with the duke and duchess of cambridge and his sister princess charlotte. sir mo farrah may be one of our most decorated 0lympians but now a graphic designerfrom swindon claims to have broken one of his world records. sir mo set the record for the 100—metre sack race in 2014 with a time of 39—point—91 seconds. but yesterday, dad of two stephen wildish took on the challenge and hopped over
9:08 am
the line in just over 28 seconds — smashing mo's attempt. it's not official as yet. but the clock doesn't lie. he's obviously got good technique. they're vital modern—day tools, used for search and rescue operations and crop—surveillance, but drones also have the potential to be dangerous — last year there were 70 near misses with aircraft. the government wants to cut their misuse by introducing measures that will help authorities trace the owners. 0wen mcaree is a professor in drone and robot safety, he joins us in the studio. good morning. explain these regulations, how they work in practice? the actual report has only just come out so the details are
9:09 am
still working through, if you like. as far as still working through, if you like. as farasi still working through, if you like. as far as i understand it, everybody that one stop operator drone of more than 250 grams must register the fa ct than 250 grams must register the fact they have a drone that is that weight, and they have to pass an online assessment to make sure they understand the rules around operating drone. do you get a licence? sort of, a kind of electronic licence. you get a code 01’ electronic licence. you get a code or something that confirms you have registered and passed a test. you have to write that on your drone, and that is the minimum requirement. there is also some talk, the details are to be worked out yet, but there is talk about using electronic identification as well. because one issue with a drone is when it up in the sky, far away from you, if it is used for flying over a the sky, far away from you, if it is used forflying over a prison the sky, far away from you, if it is used for flying over a prison or something, you can't identify who is operating. if we require an electronic identification, the police did have access to a database saying there was a drone flying here
9:10 am
and it's registered to this person. the problem is, if you buy a drone and want to drop drugs into a present you would register, you won't use the online course. some people it's targeting are effectively going to still be affected ? effectively going to still be affected? that's the details of how it will be applied to need to be worked out. the high shops be stopped from selling drones unless they register, like a mobile phone contract? we don't know but that is the intent from the government. we are now learning about the dangers that drones pose, that is an area of concern. 0ne that drones pose, that is an area of concern. one of them are pretty big. —— some of them are pretty big. they are, i regularly operate drones as big as this table. this kind of size? were that to be in a collision with an aircraft, a helicopter or
9:11 am
light aircraft, what do we know about the consequences certainly with helicopters, it would do serious damage. part of the reporters, saying even 400 grams will be sufficient to damage a helicopter. they are designed for collisions with birds and things, which are softer than drones. what is the consequences right now if you fly a drone irresponsible in irresponsibly? the police have power to deal with someone doing there. i'm supportive of -- i'm —— i'm supportive of the suggestions because some people do not know the rules. you don't know what constitutes being around an airport, it's quite large. it deliberately to be miles away thinking you are not near the airport but by the time you
9:12 am
are flying the drone, you are. that is currently against the law? are flying the drone, you are. that is currently against the law7m are flying the drone, you are. that is currently against the law? it is against the law. so those laws exist? yes, and a lot of the problems tend to be that when people are caught or often not caught doing these things wrong, it is simply because they don't know these rules. the rules are already there but they don't know them. one of the positives of this registration scheme, in my opinion, is feeble have to do an online assessment which is going to go through, do you know where to fly a drone? was the furthest, so the controller, assuming someone furthest, so the controller, assuming someone is flying in the wrong place, what is the furthest they can beat away from the drone they can beat away from the drone they are controlling the tropics practically, not more than a few miles. that's a lot though. that this huge range. and that's very legal. 0ne this huge range. and that's very legal. one of the rules you need to
9:13 am
know is that you have to keep you do your drone know is that you have to keep you do yourdrone in your know is that you have to keep you do your drone in your vision. 0therwise your drone in your vision. 0therwise you don't know exactly what it's doing about every fault or something of. if you can't see it you want now. when will these were all supposed to be coming in? we don't know. the policy has come out today. from my understanding, there was a lwa ys from my understanding, there was always a plan to do something at this and the bank planned to —— and now they plan to bring it forward. i have another chance to read it, it has just been published. have another chance to read it, it hasjust been published. they have another chance to read it, it has just been published. they may specify it, may not. thanks for joining us. i wonder what this guys will be like to fly in today? —— this guys will be like? the windswept pretty damaging yesterday. today is looking more showery than tomorrow. winds will be lighter. the showers
9:14 am
are gathering across the south west, continuing to push northwards and eastwards. this weather front brought rain across western areas yesterday, now across northern england and into southern scotland. it is going to be pretty down through the course of the day. northern scotland doing well though, you see sunshine staying dry. same tea for northern ireland, santo to break through the clouds that the rain should clear away from eastern england as well. those showers gathering across the south west, turning heavier, pushing towards the south east and midlands. there will be sunny spells in between, so not a com plete be sunny spells in between, so not a complete wash—out. those showers turning heavy with sand mixed into the afternoon. same across northern england into southern scotland. it spells in between, best answer boldly northern ireland and the northern half of scotland where it could be 20 degrees. 20 or 21 across the south. when the showers arrived,
9:15 am

9:16 am
lbc presenter ian collins is here to tell us what's caught his eye. we'll speak to ian in a minute. how are you? all right. where will you start us off. smartphone. should a child be allowed to have a phone? my a child be allowed to have a phone? my three—year—old can navigate around a phone. he's not on instagram facebook but his playing little games, the cbeebies app. but owning a smartphone, apparently many eight—year—olds do. owning a smartphone, apparently many eight-year-olds do. it is difficult, the parents deciding didn't have it when limited so you have nothing to measure it against. there is the fear if they do not have a phone will they be safe? are they in the we should get out of the idea that a smartphone is recreational tool for
9:17 am
social media. it isn't, it's also an educational tool. home work, coursework,. you'd need a tablet rather than a phone? but many fans are the size of a tablet. they do more thanjust are the size of a tablet. they do more than just monkey around with games, potentially. my instincts tell me that it will be higher, that figure, a fifth of eight—year—olds? i think more than that. i think if he asked the parents they will they don't, but actually... more of them do. i think a lot more. when it gets to ten, it goes up more. because of that to brew, everyone thinks of an eight—year—old has a phone, they are posting stuff on twitter and facebook. clue not at that age that they are using it for games. can we cool your sun now? they are using it for games. can we coolyour sun now? he might be in a conference call. let's look at this story from the time. undercover
9:18 am
police targeting bad driving. undercover police wearing plain clothing are sent on bicycles to catch motorists who don't really show courtesy or decency and adhere to safety for cyclists on the road. when i saw this car thought it will be the other way round because there are be the other way round because there a re lots of be the other way round because there are lots of very mad cyclists on british roads. it's a curious thing, when you are driving around manchester or glasgow or london, wherever you happen to be, ifind it rather amazing you can jump wherever you happen to be, ifind it rather amazing you canjump on wherever you happen to be, ifind it rather amazing you can jump on two wheels and meet around the busiest roads in the country, not wearing a helmet, getting where ever you like, that are no rules and regulations surrounding what you have to do, common—sense prevails but i thought thatis common—sense prevails but i thought that is what will be, catching mad cyclists. it's catching mad drivers. you do know not all cyclists ahmad? a small number give the rest a bad name. i do know that. sorry your
9:19 am
switchboard has melted down at the utterance of cycling. this is about tackling motorist, not likely. on a serious point, it is a blind spots, things like that, there is a thing called the notorious left turn, lots of cyclists are being killed and entered their cars as particularly drivers doing left and not seeing cyclists. i think being aware of that kind of thing, you've now got cops, plainclothes cops, going on two wheels, letting for drivers who are doing things like that. he gets very impatient drivers as well who they clearly only own the road but i find it curious we have two wheels and fall wheels —— four wheels on the same space and no one has bothered. they should be able to deal with it? in bothered. they should be able to dealwith it? in a major city! i wouldn't want to ride a bike in any city, you'd have to be bonkers to
9:20 am
get on two wheels on the roads with trucks and cars. speaking of bonkers, the lemonade story. the little girl who was selling lemonade and a little stall in the street and there was a price issue. indeed, whether it was the little girl, a five—year—old taking initiative, she went beyond dragons den any time seen as a went beyond dragons den any time seen as a five—year—old, it was probably the dad was like the idea that the little guy went along with. u nfortu nately that the little guy went along with. unfortunately while selling the lemonade during a festival day, the authorities came along and said sorry, you are breaching trading laws. didn't a permit? didn't have a permit to trade. i'm surprised this isn't a health and safety story, thatis isn't a health and safety story, that is usually the kind of thing we talk about. yes, where you haven't got a sink or heating or all those usual sort of thing. actually, it wasn't having a licence to trade so they slapped £150 fine and what the newspapers are saying onto a girl, but it was the father. then tower hamlets council said this is
9:21 am
ridiculous and a mistake, we will scrap the fine. can we have a quick word about dick van dyke? i like the accident, mike and i think it defined the film. it did. when you first see mary poppins, you don't know about the accident, you think it isa know about the accident, you think it is a charming man who was a chimney sweep with a posh many lady. it is only older when you realise the accident is bad. —— the accent is bad. if you look at how actors do it, i spoke to an american friend recently, who thought hugh laurie was american, because she didn't realise was british because the accident was that good. likewise, many zellweger in bridgetjones. because it was able what accidents can you do? i'm
9:22 am
rubbish at accidents. what accidents can you do? i'm rubbish at accidentslj what accidents can you do? i'm rubbish at accidents. i bet he practised one. the one no one can do is the geordie accident. —— geordie accent. i'd love to do that but it would sound ridiculous. 0nly geordies can do the geordie accent. i don't know what dick van dyke got paid for mary poppins but... it's the most fun thing, the most interesting thing about the whole film? absolutely. by making a new one so we can film? absolutely. by making a new one so we can judge it then. who will be in it? danny dyer may be? i is what it with danny dyer. ian, it is what it with danny dyer. ian, it is lovely talking to you. his press briefings gave birth to the phrase "alternative facts" and led to much mocking on social media, but sean spicer‘s turbulent, six—month long stint as the face of president trump's administration is over. mr spicer quit his role as the white house press secretary,
9:23 am
reportedly in response to an organisational shake—up. so where does that leave the trump administration? we'll look at the implications in a moment, but first let's remind ourselves of some of his most memorable moments. this was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period. both in person and around the globe. these attempts to lessen the enthusiasm of the inauguration of shameful and wrong. the default narrative is always negative. some one as despicable as hitler who didn't even think to using chemical weapons. there was not, he brought them into the... to the holocaust centres, i understand that. with the bashar al—al. .. bashar al—assad in charge. bashar al—assad, and now you've mispronounced his name a few times. i'm sorry, please stop shaking your head at me. if the president puts
9:24 am
russian salad dressing on his salad tonight, somehow that about the russian connection. hey, jonathan, somebody‘s asking a question, it's not your press briefing. julie's asking a question, please calm down. ok, you don'tjust get to yell out questions, you've got to raise your hand like big boys and girls. major, i... you want to come on up? hold on. at some point, report the facts. don't make me make the podium move. are you 0k? i can sense the love in the room. thank you so much. all: sean! come on sean! sean! what about the putin call? his future is bright, he may well be missed by many. joining us from our london newsroom is matt zarb—cousin who was the spokesman up until april for labour leader, jeremy corbyn. good morning. what do you make of sean spicer out of the job in six months? i'm not surprised. one of the key things you have to have in a
9:25 am
job like that is credibility. you have to have the credibility and the trust of the press, even if they don't particularly agree with the politics. when it comes to wanting to stop stories being written, they need to be a party trust and know you are credible. i think he became too much of a laughing stock after six months, and trump's politics are controversial enough and he needs someone controversial enough and he needs someone with a bit more level—headed. a better temperament, able to handle that sort of stuff and not become the story again and again. how easy it is not to become the story when you are the mouthpiece of your party bus tour leader and your president's policies? i think barack obama's spokesperson, no one could name them now. was he as controversial as donald trump? i think we have to acknowledge in if you are like
9:26 am
candidate departing from the status quo, you have to manage the relationship with the mainstream press as best you can. all your message will not grep through. too often, his mistakes on the podium, overshadowed what trump was saying. he has now bypassed the mainstream media using his twitter account the last thing he needs is the spokesperson who are supposed to be there to trump's gaffes which overs ha d ow there to trump's gaffes which overshadow the message. when you are told to want you to manage the press on the half of the party leader, what are the party leader, what other dos and don't‘s. what are the party leader, what other dos and don't's. you have to build up trust of the month. at that point you can stop stories being written, and hopefully they'll do it straight and reported fairly. how do you manage that relationship with
9:27 am
the press? if you feel they are not giving it a fair run or a fair hearing? i think you have to build up hearing? i think you have to build up relationships which over time. but the problem with trump was he was an outsider, not a politician. so he didn't have the contacts if he had been a politician previously. he had been a politician previously. he had to build that up from scratch. jeremy was in a similar position as a backbencher before being leader. 0bviously, those contacts and relationships needed to be built up over time. now, since the election, there is a much better place. do you think that press offices here have it easier in terms of a hostile press ? it easier in terms of a hostile press? licking at sean spicer‘s relationship with the press in the united states? i wouldn't say they haveit united states? i wouldn't say they have it easier. the press here is, i compare the press lobby to a team of
9:28 am
well resourced lawyers. they look at everything forensically and they are very good. 0ver everything forensically and they are very good. over in america, it is a public facing role. here, spokespeople tend to be behind—the—scenes. they are often behind—the—scenes. they are often behind—the—scenes. you don't really hear who they are and they don't have to speak to the media themselves. it is often on a sources basis. at off the record basis. the level of scrutiny is similar, we are ina very level of scrutiny is similar, we are in a very interesting time politically, and there are a lot of candidates now who are appealing to people who want to depart from the status quo, but the media seems to be start in perhaps the old way of doing politics, and they haven't quite caught up with that yet. ok, thanks forjoining us. thank you. this is breakfast.
9:29 am
we're on bbc one until ten o'clock this morning, when matt tebbutt takes over in the saturday kitchen. matt — what's on the menu for us? good morning. 0ur good morning. our special guest tomorrow is ace, it isjudy murray. you're facing food heaven or food hell. what's your idea of food haven't? anything with chicken, nuts. and hell? apricots and couscous, nuts. and hell? apricots and couscous, i don't see the point of that. that's all i've got. we will talk about yourself later on, we've got two great chefs, freddie bird, first out on the show. will you behave yourself? what will you cook? prawns and sweet rice. and paul fosdick what are you cooking? goode with —— pickled macro with tomatoes. and we will be talking about wine. you at home are in charge of food heaven or food hell, just go to the
9:30 am
website to vote. headlands coming up, we will see you soon. —— headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. coming up before 10am, stav will have the weather, but first a summary of this morning's main news. nearly 1,000 children are being forced into temporary accommodation every month because more families are becoming homeless, according to councils in england. the local government association says the number has increased by a third in three years. it wants more powers
9:31 am
to build what are described as "genuinely affordable homes". the government says it is investing £550 million to help tackle the problem. drone owners will have to complete a safety awareness course under plans announced by the government. machines that weigh more than 250—grams will also have to be registered, amid growing concern about the dangers they pose to aircraft. earlier this month five flights were diverted from gatwick airport because a drone was flown too close to the runway. boots the chemist has apologised for its response to a row about what it charges for the morning—after—pill. the chain initially rejected calls to reduce the price, saying it didn't want to encourage the misuse of emergency contraception, but after criticism from a string of labour mps, it now says it's looking at lower priced alternatives. the outgoing white house press secretary sean spicer has told an american television network that he resigned six months into thejob because he feared there would be "too many cooks in the kitchen" if he remained. his time at the podium was marked by a number

9:33 am
surprised. it looks good to me. the main thing is that bubbles is enjoying that. bubbles isn't the first chimpanzee. there was a famous chimpanzee in the 50s who did a lot of artwork and one of them was bought by picasso. what did he do? i can't remember the chimpa nzee's name, but in the 19505, it was for london zoo. it started doing artwork and they went for auction and picasso wa5 and they went for auction and picasso was one of the people who bought one of the paintings. chimps have a certain talent. we have had goats painting on the programme in the past. have we? yes. and a llama. that sold for £14400. i apologise if you think i didn't believe you. it's
9:34 am

9:35 am
conditions will be a really good 5core today. i got off to the best po55ible 5core today. i got off to the best possible start. i continued where i left off last night. i made some birdies early on. that gave me a little bit of a cushion to play with. i needed to make some big up and downs around the middle of the round, but yeah, i mean, idid exactly what i wanted to do?” haven't played a major for a little while so it would be great to go out this weekend. have a nice lie in and have a look at where the pin locations are and see from how other players are playing certain holes how the course should play. obviously, it has been softened up right now. i just obviously, it has been softened up right now. ijust hope we get a nice weekend without too much rain. it seems like he will get his wish. kadeena cox won britain's 14th gold at the world para athletics championships last night, winning the t38 400m.

at the world aquatic5 championships in hungary. daley, who won bronze in this event in london, qualified in second place for this afternoon's 5howpiece. compatriot matty lee is also through. i think this year it has been all about enjoying it. last year was 5uch about enjoying it. last year was such a serious year with it being the olympic yearment for me it was all about going out there and giving it the best shot and again have fun on the diving board. wigan completed their regular super league season with a crushing 34—0 victory over leed5. wigan had already qualified for the super eight5, but ran in seven tries, against an injury hit rhino5. there were wins elsewhere for, leigh and hull fc who move up to third. after a half century in his first game back for surrey, kevin pietersen was brought back down to earth last night. going into their t20 bla5t game against middlesex he was struggling with a calf injury and that may have been on his mind when he set off fora run, but changed his mind, leaving his australian team—mate aaron finch stranded halfway down the pitch and unable to get back
9:39 am
before being run out. pietersen was then out for four. surrey did manage to win though by 15 runs. in cardiff it is the british 5peedway grand prix. that's it cardiff. now, in football and on a weekend when england and scotland's women play their second matches at euro 2017, i've been to stoke to join some young women who are playing a new form of the game which is played in the dark. well, we're all dressed up with our face paint5 on. some more than others admittedly! wr ready for kick off. it seems like an ordinary 5ix a5ide indoor game. all that changes with the flick of a switch! it all started with glow badminton
9:40 am
and glow 5quash two years ago. glow football started up in stoke. it spread across other parts of the country too. it is just the combination of the three factors, so it's playing football with a friend, the lights are off and they have got the headbands and music is on. it is a real party scene. when they are playing they are not worried about the image. everybody looks the same or out there and going for it. it is great for teenage girls really. there is now weekly uv league here at staffordshire university an initiative funded by the premier league and backed by the fa. it's a bit like ping—pong at times. sometimes you can't see which team—mates you're passing to as long as they are in an orange shirt. it's part of a wider pu5h by glow active uk which helped start leagues at dozens of clubs to reach girls like bonnie who says
9:41 am
she would never have got into football had it not been for this. it's in the dark, you can't really see you in that. so if you're like embarra55ed or anything, no point because it's like no one can really see you. is that what helped you get into it? yeah. girls can show their personality with the way they put their face paint on. it is a save. it 5tays level. the game is finely poised. the opposition are making a substitution. and what a substitution it was! 0h, tackled. we lost. the super 5ub made all the difference as the lights go on and ourface paint5 have run. 94 caps for england, sue smith, herfirst experience of glow football. how was it? i loved it.
9:42 am
it was so much fun. it's great for maybe the young girls and boys that don't have confidence. so i think if you make a mistake, you don't know who has done that mistake. it probably would have good for me. and me, i hope, when i managed to score an own goal, but it could have been anyone as you hide behind their uv paint which certainly makes for some interesting team photos! it was great fun. yeah, i got away with my own goal which bounced off me because no one really knew who scored it. i went over the top with the face paint5. i know! i went over the top with the face paint5. i know i couldn't get it right. i thought it looked good. a bit scary. i was trying to add to it. it brings talent out that maybe they didn't know they had, you see, you don't know what's hiding under your bu5hell. you don't know what's hiding under your bushell. how long have you been
9:43 am
waiting to say that? two minutes! speaking of mess, we're moving on to the hair industry. have you got anything to say? we know all about ne5ts, don't we? anything to say? we know all about nests, don't we? we do. thank you very much, mike. the hair and beauty industry has seen a rapid rise in complex procedures such as fillers and chemical peels. it has led to calls for mandatory regulation. the hair and barber council and the vocational training charitable trust have taken their case to parliament where they hope the law will be changed. they say they also hope it will end negative stereotypes a55ociated with a career in the sector. we got the views of a salon owner. hi i'm sam. i i am a beauty guru and i have been in the beauty industry for nearly 20 years. unfortunately
9:44 am
our industry is portrayed as a load of brainless bimbo5 that choose beauty because they are really not very good at anything else. i went toa very good at anything else. i went to a private school. i got a scholarship. i think the stereotype of beauty therapy can be something that isn't how it should be. i did a btech national diploma and it was a two year course. it was really in—depth and we studied law, accounting, science, and anatomy and physiology and marketing as part of our course. i think it's vital that people that work within the hair and beauty industry have qualifications. after all, we are dealing on a really, really close level with our clients and often we're dealing with blood, we're dealing with bodily fluids and for things like massage, we need to know about anatomy and physiology. keith conniford is the head
9:45 am
of the hair and barber council and joins us now. good morning. good morning. so, it's an industry that isn't regulated. correct. which is quite surprising when you think how close and personal and physical treatments can be. how have they got away with this for so long? i don't know. it's something the hair and barber council tried to get sorted out for year, but successive governments don't seem to get it. even though i can understand to a point regarding the industry, the consumer voice has been lost out of here completely. when you go to a hairdresser, a barber, a beauty spa, you expect the people that are carrying out the services on your hair or whatever that's being done, you expect them to have been properly trained and qualified and in quite often the case is that they haven't. they don't have to prove any qualification because if you go to a
9:46 am
hairdresser or beauty salon, you see certificates on the wall, but they don't have to be on there? they don't have to be on there? they don't have to have them. training and becoming qualified is completely volu nta ry. and becoming qualified is completely voluntary. and there is nothing to stop you tomorrow setting up for example a hairdressing salon if you wa nted example a hairdressing salon if you wanted to and starting to cut hair. clearly, there is a difference between someone cutting hair. i'm not dismissing the skill involved, but in terms of the potential risk to someone who is doing other treatments. we saw some of them there. these are wax treatments and any number of other skin care treatments and you think maybe the risk is there, are greater? they are. for example, with hairdressing you can be using fairly strong bleaches on people's hair. there is dye stuffs that people are using. if you are talking about the beauty industry, you talk about fillers and the peels, the chemical peels that they have and you know people need to be properly trained and qualified to be properly trained and qualified to use the chemicals because from a consumer and customer point of view they are the people that are putting themselves in your hands. so what
9:47 am
happens then as a consumer and customer who put themselves in their handsif customer who put themselves in their hands if something goes wrong? who looks after the consumer and the customer? it is not regulated so there isn't really any course that they can go to apart from going back to the salon or the spa or wherever they had the treatment. they don't have to do anything? no. there isn't, but i would hope they would try and do something, if they don't, the only course of action is to take it legally. if you are running a successful salon and in the course of your 25 or 30 years in business, you never harmed anyone, you go what's the problem? it doesn't happen all the time and there is no way of protecting the customer and raising quality and standards in our industry. what is the answer? the hairand barber industry. what is the answer? the hair and barber council is a statutory authority which was set—up by an act of parliament in 1964 and
9:48 am
obviously we are in 2017 now, it is out jaited, but it obviously we are in 2017 now, it is outjaited, but it set—up a volu nta ry outjaited, but it set—up a voluntary register and the register was there so people could voluntarily sign up to, prove their qualifications and become state registered hairdressers and still in place now so people can voluntary do that. they can't... is place now so people can voluntary do that. they can't. .. is that enough? well, it's not enough because they can't become a state registered hairdresser unless they prove their qualifications so that's good, but if somebody isn't qualified and choose not to try and register which they wouldn't be able to without the releva nt they wouldn't be able to without the relevant qualifications and experience they don't have to do it. it's a sort of situation with no teeth. it is interesting to talk to you, keith. it will make a lot of people think if they are having their weekend hairdressing appointment this weekend. it's 9.48am and you're watching breakfast from bbc news. the main stories: almost 1,000 children in england are being forced into temporary accommodation every month, according to local councils.
9:49 am
drone owners will have to complete a safety course and register their aircraft amid growing concern about the danger they pose to aircraft. i don't know what you're hope to this weekend. maybe you're hoping for decent weather. stav has the details. it is unsettled. we have some showers about generally across the uk. now the area of low pressure responsible for this wet and windy weather yesterday is with us, bringing the sunshine and the showers. there is sunshine around. it is glorious in parts of england and wales and northern ireland and scotland, but the showers are ganging up across the south—west. they will pushing their way northwards and eastwards. we have got this weather front continuing to bring cloud and outbreaks of rain into southern scotland and northern and eastern england. the northern half of scotland will remain fine today. you will probably see some of the best sunshine across the country
9:50 am
and it will turn warm, 19 or 20 celsius in places. the rain turns heavy across central and southern scotland. there maybe rumble of thunder. northern ireland, central parts of the uk, some sunny spells, plenty of showers across the south and these will continue to become heavier as the afternoon wears on. here is the picture then. fairly breezy across the south and the south—west coast, but lighter winds elsewhere. so when the showers arrive, they will be slow moving. thundery in the south and across northern england and southern scotland. in the sunshine we could make 20 or 21 celsius. the same too for northern ireland and the north of scotland. gor the golf, it looks like there will be showers today and tomorrow, but some sunny spells. that will lift temperatures up to the high teens celsius and the winds remaining light. the showers can continue on for a while this evening for the first part of the night. they tend to fizzle out across central and southern areas. showery rainfor central and southern areas. showery rain for northern england and scotland. here low cloud and murk too, but a chilly night to come across central and southern areas
9:51 am
with mist and fog as well. we will have mist and fog around. generally dry with sunshine and then into the afternoon showers will develop and some may turn out to be heavy and thundery, but i'm hopeful sunday will be a better looking day than on saturday. but it will feel warmer across—the—board. monday saturday. but it will feel warmer across—the—boa rd. monday and tuesday, we are in between weather systems. a ridge of high pressure keeps things settled. dry with sunny spells. despite northerly winds temperatures reaching 23 or 24 celsius. then it starts to turn u nsettled celsius. then it starts to turn unsettled again. back to naga and charlie. stav it has been lovely seeing you today. feel the love there. isn't that nice. i do like stav. they were the sound track of the 905. at one point, it was claimed songs by the beautiful south were played in one in seven uk households. # don't marry her have me. #

9:54 am
because it was brilliant, brilliant singing and performing, but it's a nice reminder of how awful your dress sense was then! no, i don't. i think it's part of that time. fashion was experimental.” think it's part of that time. fashion was experimental. i thought we we re fashion was experimental. i thought we were different. when i tell my kids about the 805 and 90s we were different. when i tell my kids about the 80s and 90s i often say, everybody looked awful, but we looked pretty much like we do, but that's not true. i was lying! that's evidence i dressed badly and you did. the point about that in a way, change is a good thing, isn't it? yeah. you have to move on and you both moved on in your own ways and then boa and be hold, you have come back together again. take us through the story. we won't dwell on why you stopped working together, but more why you came back together? the reunification. i heard through a
9:55 am
friend of mine that jackie was on social media. one thing it is good for, getting in touch with somebody when you are not sure whether you might have upset them or left it too long or whatever. that's the draw of social media. i wrote a polite message, is this you? lovely if it is, glad to see you're happy. so we started a conversation over an evening and it just started a conversation over an evening and itjust became more and more friendly as it can do on that media. that's a big step to take. it isa media. that's a big step to take. it is a big step to respond, i think, you're not quite sure what it's about and what it will lead to. what did you think about it?” about and what it will lead to. what did you think about it? i had not known or had conversations with anyone really and especially not yourself from that time in my life, yourself from that time in my life, you know what i mean? so when you start to talk, it was just, it was just nice having a conversation with him again and not long after we were
9:56 am
talking via social media he said, "i have got a thing coming up, do you wa nt to have got a thing coming up, do you want to be involved in it?" i was screamed at by my mum to say yes, do it. it was nice to sort of, the meeting i suppose was quite lovely as well because we hadn't seen each other for so long and we met outside the pub he owned, the one in sa lfo rd. the pub he owned, the one in salford. he was with all the people that he knows now and me and him just sat there rehashing all this stuff, what about this? what about that? we were laughing in his terics. a lot of people remember fondly the way your voices worked together. it is something people latch on to. did that automatically kick back in i personally think it did. i remembersinging kick back in i personally think it did. i remember singing withjaqui in rehearsal and thinking, i'm a very self critical bloke thinking this sounds wonderful. it sounds wonderful the voices together and
9:57 am
quite often it is like three instruments, my voice and jaqui's voice and when we played it, i played several gigs over the years, but when i saw how people were when jaqui sang, the whole room lit up. it was like a magic beam going down from her voice to people's heads. i thought what a wonderful thing. the audience were transfixed.” don't like compliments. it was true. we we re don't like compliments. it was true. we were playing in a fair small place and you could see the love so to speak that people have for her voice. it's quite difficult, isn't it? i imagine when you came back
9:58 am
together and thought we're going to bring out crooked calypso. i had the expectation, i'm going to enjoy it. at some point he said, "what do you reckon about an album?" again, i have always gone into it thinking i don't care what happens as long as i enjoy it. there will be as long as i enjoy it. there will be a lot of people happy to hear and see you back together. it is lovely to see you this morning. thank you very much for having us. paul and jacqui's new album is called crooked calypso. they will be on a uk and ireland tourfrom october. good luck with it. brea kfast good luck with it. breakfast is back tomorrow at 6am. have a lovely day. this is bbc news, i'm shaun ley. the headlines at 10am. boots has said it is "truly sorry"
