hello — it's friday, we'll bring you the latest throughout the morning. a leading cancer scientist says the serious failures in england's breast cancer screening programme go back further and affect more women than previously thought. it's taken 13 years to spot that we've have not implement it a policy the way we said we were going to do it and things need to change. as the first week of the grenfell inquiry comes to an end we'll be asking what impact it is having on people. every time i go past or near the area, i feel
9:01 am
like something is strangling me. hello. welcome to the programme, we're live until 11am this morning. it's the biggest shake—up of personal data privacy rules since the birth of the internet and has spawned tonnes of emails bunging up our inboxes asking if we want to opt in or opt out of online marketing. the general data protection regulation, to give it its full title, is a piece of eu legislation passed by the european parliament in 2016. it's supposed to make it simpler for people to control how companies use our personal data, and it comes into force from today. but are you confused by it all, or have all the emails in the past few days driven your inbox out of control? we'll try and answer your questions a little later in the programme. do get in touch on that or any of the stories we're talking about this morning — use the hashtag victoria live

and if you text, you will be charged at the standard network rate. our top story today. harvey weinstein, the hollywood producer who's been accused of sexual assault by dozens of women, is expected to give himself in to police in new york later, according to us media reports. weinstein is thought to be facing arrest and criminal charges but his lawyer has not commented on the story. our north america correspondent david willis has more. harvey weinstein, once a fixture on the red carpet, it seems his dramatic fall from grace is about to enter a new chapter. the man who wrapped up oscars for films such as shakespeare in love is, today, expected to turn himself in to detectives and face charges of sexual assault. among his accusers is lucia evans, formerly an aspiring actress, who claims the movie mogul abused her, at his office in new york. she and a string of hollywood

a—listes, gwyneth paltrow and angelina jolie among them, were part of a chorus of accusations which gave rise to the #metoo movement. it led to powerful and predatory men in a numberfields being held to account, the latest being morgan freeman, who has now issued a public apology, following accusations of inappropriate behaviour on set. the italian actress asia argento who last weekend repeated claims harvey weinstein raped her, heralded the news he now planned to turn himself in with a single word on twitter. boom. as well as new york, harvey weinstein is also the subject of sexual assault inquires in london and los angeles. he has previously denied any accusations of nonconsensual sex. david willis, bbc news, washington. annite mcveigh is in the bbc newsroom with a summary of the rest of the days news.

north korea says it is willing to continue dialogue with the united states at any time and any place. it comes after president trump announced he's cancelling a planned summit with kimjong un in singapore next month. our asia correspondent rupert wingfield—hayes reports. if pyongyang suspected its longed—for summit with the us president was about to be cancelled, there was no sign of it here. at a top—secret site, deep in the mountains, a group of foreign journalists were shown the tunnels where north korea tested its nuclear weapons. and then the show began. in a series of dramatic explosions, like something out of a hollywood movie, north korea's nuclear test site was blown to smithereens. one of the foreign reporters described what they saw. it was pretty surreal, north korea invited in a small
9:05 am
group of journalists, they took us on a train about 12 hours up to their nuclear test site, which is in a remote, mountainous region of north korea. and then they blew the thing up, they blew up three remaining tests tunnels at the site. they were laced with explosives, they walked us right up to the doors of these tunnels to show us. then they blew it up and then brought us back to those doors and said, "double check, see we have done this, we want to be transparent". the only problem is, the only people there were journalists, not experts on what it takes to shut down a nuclear test site. what we saw with our eyes is that, yes, they did blow up the entrances to the tunnels, we do not know what else occurred or if that site really is unusable. this was supposed to be pyongyang's big gesture, ahead of the kim—trump summit. but thousands of miles away in washington, president trump had suddenly changed his mind. based on the recent statement of north korea, i have decided to terminate the planned summit in singapore onjune 12th.
9:06 am
i believe that this is a tremendous setback for north korea and indeed a setback for the world. when it came, north korea's response was surprisingly soft. the unilateral announcement to cancel the summit is unexpected and we cannot but feel great regret from it, the vice foreign minister said. we have the intent to sit with the us side, to solve problems regardless, at any time. here in seoul, there has also been shock and consternation. this photo shows a grim faced president moonjae—in holding an emergency cabinet meeting in the middle of the night. he said he was perplexed and regretful. apparently no—one from washington had bothered to call him before his close ally president trump made his dramatic announcement. at least 15 people have been injured after an improvised explosive device was detonated
9:07 am
at a restaurant near toronto. the bomb went off inside an indian restaurant in the city of mississauga. police are looking for two men who fled the scene immediately after the explosion. three people are said to be in a critical condition. the governor of the bank of england has said it might be forced to cut interest rates or pump more money into the economy if there's a "disorderly" brexit transition period. mark carney made the comments in a speech in london last night, adding that the bank was prepared for a range of brexit scenarios. our political correspondent chris mason is in westminster for us this morning. this is the second time this week he has publicly had something to say about brexit. the other day, he reckoned that households on average were £900 a year worse off, since the brexit referendum. then this speech last night, where, as you say, he was saying that the bank is prepared for all scenarios. he was particularly talking about what he would see as a negative scenario, potentially crashing out of the european union,
9:08 am
without any kind of deal. saying that he would be willing, if necessary, to hold off increases in interest rates, to try and help shore up the economy. meanwhile, over in brussels, things there getting really spiky. now, i know you mightjust think it's that bloke on the telly, again, warbling on about brexit. but we're getting to a really crunch point, now. an eu officials saying now that the uk is living in fantasy, trying to maintain all of what they see as the advantages of the eu, from the outside. the uk punching back, saying it was laughable and insulting, what the eu was saying. we're now into the countdown to another one of these big summits taking place in just a couple weeks' time. a leading cancer scientist says the serious failures in england's breast cancer screening programme go back further and affected more women than previously thought. hundreds of thousands of women were not invited for a scan when they were aged between 68 and 71. here's our health and science correspondent james gallagher.
9:09 am
screening helps spot breast cancer, early. women aged 50 to 70 should be offered a mammogram every three years. but it was revealed computer problems meant some invites were never sent. and the failure may have shortened 270 lives. tragically, there are likely to be some people in this group who would have been alive today if the failure had not happened. officials said the problem started in 2009, but new research suggests the issue goes back to 2005, some four years earlier. the government had estimated that 450,000 women were not invited for theirfinal scan. but now scientists say tens of thousands more women may have been affected. it's taken 13 years to spot that we hadn't implemented a policy the way we said we were going to do it and things need to change to make sure that we look at what we're doing. and it's somebody's job to actually inspect...
9:10 am
to collect the data, to inspect the data and make sure we're doing the right. public health england rejected the findings, saying the analysis was flawed and that an independent review will look at all aspects of the breast screening service. james gallagher, bbc news. scotland's first minister nicola sturgeon says a new report out today will "restart the debate" about scottish independence. the sustainable growth commission — which was set up by the snp to look at future economic prospects — will set out proposals for a so called "come to scotland" package as part of efforts to boost the country's population. many people in the uk have been bombarded with emails, asking them to stay in touch with various online companies. it's because of new laws that come into force today, designed to give us more control over our personal data. the general data protection regulation — or gdpr — will require businesses to seek the consent of people whose information they gather. firms that break the rules could face large fines. ariana grande has revealed a tattoo

tribute to the victims of the manchester arena bombing. the pop star posted a picture of a small manchester bee, which she's had tattooed behind her ear. last year 22 people lost their lives when a suicide bomber detonated a device after the singer had finished performing. danny boyle, the director know for trainspotting and the london 2012 olympics, will direct the next james bond film. bond 25, as it is currently called, will begin shooting in december and will be daniel craig's fifth outing as 007. the film is set to be released in october next year. that's a summary of the latest bbc news — more at 9.30. let's get some sport with hugh ferris. liverpool fans getting excited, champions league final tomorrow, lots of fans struggling to even get
9:12 am
to kiev? the bulk of our pull fans hoping to get to ta that will arrive, if they are successful, you can understand why fans left at midnight, the coach became a fairly, these are those on the fairway before it becomes a coach again. these guys avoiding the problems with flights to ukraine which have affected around 1000 liverpool fans. a travel company cancelled three flights. since then the mayers of liverpool and kiev have been trying to sort out. these fans are stressed and could be stranded and those who do arrive in ta of could be sleeping on people's flaws because of the
9:13 am
lack of hotel rooms available. it is something the president of uefa has been talking about whether ukraine and kiev is the right place to have the final. in about a0 minutes so we will speak to some liverpool fans including one who had their flight cancelled, hopefully better news for us. the other thing in kiev is security which is so important ahead of such a huge fixture. another thing that champions league coast cities have to be very, very aware of. you should give might expect in kiev. there has been report of reporters being caught up in trouble after being attacked in a restau ra nt in trouble after being attacked in a restaurant with two being injured. footage of the incident has been circulated by a couple of national newspapers this morning. meanwhile the team have arrived in kiev
9:14 am
without any difficulties. these are the scenes of them arriving with jurgen klopp and the liverpool side going for a six european cup victory. this is a team steeped in the history of the competition and asa the history of the competition and as a result a lot of fans already out there and those who are travelling incredibly expectant about what might happen tomorrow night. let's hope it's not too disappointing. and now a familiar story about england's cricketers? yes, the summer has started and now new leaf has been turned, the same old story at lord's on day one of the opening test against pakistan. essentially a lack of application in the batting order. alastair cook can avoid that criticism, he made 70, stuck around for a while, 18a all out england. pakistan a lot better, 50-1 in out england. pakistan a lot better,
9:15 am
50—1 in reply proving perhaps that perhaps it is a picture upon which you should be able to apply yourself and do well. a lot of overs, a lot of days remaining still but i think it's fair to say when things resume at 11 o'clock this morning and you can at 11 o'clock this morning and you ca n follow at 11 o'clock this morning and you can follow it on radio five live sports extra, that perhaps the sense of expectation might not be as high as it was yesterday. always the same, thank you. over the past four days powerful and moving testimony has been given by families who lost loved ones at grenfell tower as the inquiry in to what exactly happened got underway. the first part of the inquiry has been about commemorating victims, and one of those who spoke was hisam choucair. he lost six members of his family — his mum, sister, brother—in—law and three nieces. he's going to the inquiry again this morning but he was here earlier to share his thoughts on how it's been going so far. i started by asking him how he and his family are coping. it's been really difficult. every day is a struggle, a new challenge. a fight.
9:16 am
yeah... you lost six members of your family in the fire. tell us your memories of that night. well, i received... i was asleep, unfortunately, on that day. i received a called in the early hours of the morning, roughly about 2:20am, from my brother, telling me to switch on the tv. when i turned on the tv, i saw the towerjust engulfed in flames. i quickly woke my children up and my partner. i ran down to the scene. it was chaos. all the roads were closed off, there was people everywhere,
9:17 am
there was sirens from police cars, ambulances... you could barely hear yourself speaking. there were bits of the building falling down, scattering on the floor. and ijust had to... i couldn't do nothing. i tried to get in, i tried going down backstreets, just to try and save my family. the police had cordoned off all the roads. it was really difficult. and is that something that you play over and over in your mind, the fact that you couldn't do anything. as much as you tried, you weren't able to. yes. that was very painful. just feeling useless. powerless. the only thing i could do was to search hospitals, to be honest with you. of which we had many to search.
9:18 am
and hoping that they may have survived or been taken out. because you had rescue centres opening up. you had churches, mosques. people were moving from place to place. it became too big. it was like searching all over london for your loved ones. even private hospitals were accepting people, from the fire. so, it became uncontrollable. now, your children had been staying in the tower, hadn't they, the night before? that's correct, yeah. because your family were doing some childcare for you, as every family does. and that must be incredibly difficult, as well, for you to get your head around that they were there, just the night before.
9:19 am
apparently my wife was in hospital and... a day before. and something just told her that she wanted to come out of hospital, on that day. so i got her out of hospital. and went to pick up my children. and that was the last i saw my mum, my nieces and my sister, nadia. that was really difficult. if i didn't take my children, from my mother's house, they would have been dead, too. now i know that this week you've been going to the grenfell inquiry every day. i know you're going today, as well. that's correct. and it was really important for you to give your testimony. let's have a watch of what you said.
9:20 am
i have to live with my family ripped apart, for the rest of my life. i don't see this as a tragedy. i see it as an atrocity, because, essentially, there is segregation between the rich and the poor. i think they call it a postcode lottery. but i'm here to remember six lives. they were ordinary people. but they were also extraordinary people. they were my family. and they should still be here. how difficult was that for you to do? it was very difficult, but necessary, i would say. what was the experience like, standing up befor the inquiry,
9:21 am
because i know it was so important to you to do that. for me it's about telling the inquiry who my family were as people. and also telling everybody the problems that we do have within the system, in this country. and it was... something that everybody is going to have to go through, in order for this inquiry to proceed. it's like a first stage, if you know what i mean. do you feel you're being listened to, and do the otherfamilies affected so badly by this tragedy feel they're being listened to? no. and the reason for that is there are challenges. i call them unnecessary challenges
9:22 am
that the bereaved survivors, the community, are challenging the government on they shouldn't have to. that's why i call them unnecessary challenges. like what, what particularly would you say is unnecessary? for example, about a week ago, we visited the house of commons. and we spoke with mps. and we tried to inform them exactly what is actually going on, on the ground to implement a diverse panel. underneath sir martin moore—bick. if you take into consideration the history of that area, the community, the diverse people
9:23 am
that live in that tower, it calls for a diverse panel, but that wasn't given. of course there will be two more peoplejoining, in this second phase of this inquiry to try and make that panel more diverse. i know that is something that theresa may has committed to. there have been criticism, this week, at the inquiry, not least, at the beginning, everyone was told there would be warnings before there was any harrowing, disturbing footage played and yet there was a moment where there was some footage played that people found distressing and many people had to leave. in fairness to the inquiry, it's a learning curve for them. and they will get things wrong.
9:24 am
and i'm sure it's emotional for them, as well, in fairness. and it's also difficult for the people having to see things like. we're going to go through ups and downs and we have to stay together and stay focused. we have what we're trying to achieve and what we are actually there for. do you feel like, throughout this whole year and this week, as much as any other time, do you feel like you've got a close support network with the other survivors and families that have been affected? i think that's probably the only good thing that's come out of this situation is it's introduced people to other people. people have become closer.
9:25 am
have been there for one another. and it's made us united. we're all in the same boat together. but it also has had a negative impact in terms of... it's damaged families, as well. so there's a positive and negative to the inquiry into what's happened. do you still live near to grenfell tower? yes, i do. it's difficult, because i feel like a stranger within the country i was born. every time i go past, or near the area, i feel like something's strangling me. and i don't know how i'm
9:26 am
going to react, at the moment. the inquiry‘s taking my mind off things. but when this is finished, i think that's when you'll probably see the damage caused. do you feel like you've had time to grieve? no. until today, no. every day has been a fight and a challenge. and have you had counselling? not yet, no. is that because it hasn't been offered or you haven't ready? it has been offered. in fairness, it's just i haven't had the time to actually go for it. there's been other issues and challenges that we have had to take on and support. and we are required elsewhere, for other reasons. and it shouldn't be like that.
9:27 am
what message have you got for the government, the authorities, the people in power, from you as a family so profoundly affected by this disaster? do the right thing for the people, the community. the bereaved, the survivors. implement the rulings of sir martin moore—bick in full. and give people the housing, which, until today, they're still waiting for. and make sure this doesn't happen again. if you want to find out more about the grenfell tower inquiry, eddie mair is presenting a podcast every day the inquiry sits — which looks in detail at what's been said and heard each day.
9:28 am
you can download it from the bbc iplayer radio app, itunes or your podcast provider. still to come... a leading cancer scientist says the serious failures in england's breast cancer screening programme go back further and affect more women than previously thought. liverpool face real madrid in the champions league final tomorrow night in kiev. we'll be talking to fans making the long and complicated journey across europe. time for the latest news — here's annita. the bbc news headlines this morning... harvey weinstein, the hollywood producer who's been accused of sexual assault by dozens of women, is expected to give himself in to police in new york later today. weinstein is thought to be facing arrest and criminal charges but his lawyer has not commented on the story. when sexual misconduct allegations were first made against film producer harvey weinstein he laughed them off, telling the hollywood reporter magazine they sounded like a movie script he would happily finance. north korea says it is willing

serious failures in england's breast screening programme affected more women than previously thought. a professorfrom kings college london, says problems with older women not being invited to be screened emerged in 2005 — four years before the nhs accepts they did. the nhs disputes this claim. scotland's first minister nicola sturgeon says a new report out today will "restart the debate" about scottish independence. the sustainable growth commission — which was set up by the snp to look at future economic prospects — will set out proposals for a so called "come to scotland" package as part of efforts to boost the country's population. many people in the uk have been bombarded with emails, asking them to stay in touch with various online companies. it's because of new laws that come into force today, designed to give us more control over our personal data. the general data protection regulation — or gdpr — will require businesses to seek the consent of people whose information they gather. firms that break the rules could face large fines. ariana grande has revealed a tattoo tribute to the victims

9:34 am
back from a bad day in the saddle? it's the second of three mountain stages in a race he still leads but the advantage was cut in half yesterday, just three days of the race to go. a professor who specialises in cancer prevention claims issues with england's breast cancer screening invitations could date back further than previously thought. earlier this month it was revealed that up to a50,000 women aged 68—71 did not receive an invitation for a final routine breast cancer screening. professor peter sasieni says that problems could have started as early as 2005. public health england says the analysis is "flawed" and fails to take in to account when the breast screening programme was rolled out to all 70—year—olds. professor joins us now.
9:35 am
he is the data analyst that has looked into this for kings college — he wanted to find out why it took so long for the mistakes to be noticed. dr philippa whitford is a breast surgeon and snp frontbencher who is co—chair of the all party parliamentary group on breast cancer. also with us is lee towsey lost his mum to breast cancer in 201a, she was 70 years old and lee says she hadn't had an invitation for screening since her 50s. thank you all for talking to us, professor i want to start with you ifi professor i want to start with you if i made, why did you decide to look at these figures once more? were you suspicious they were not correct? i wanted to know why no one had spotted it earlier. if the government was saying there had been a problem, that they had not implement the policy correctly, surely that is something which should be monitored, somebody should be doing those checks? was it something which wasjust be doing those checks? was it something which was just hidden from view? 0r something which was just hidden from view? or as it was the case it was
9:36 am
actually published data every year and nobody was looking at it correctly and we could have noticed this many years ago. lee, i want to ask about your mum. she was diagnosed with cancer, when? she was diagnosed, she did in 2012 and she was diagnosed in 2009. and when she found a lump on her breast. had she not had any letters to go for screening at all? 0r had it been a few yea rs ? screening at all? 0r had it been a few years? it had been quite a few years since she had had, since she had been screened and i only know that from what my dad told me just before he died, he begged my sister to go and get a mammogram done and told her not to wait for a letter, just go. let me bring in you doctor phillipa, what you make of these mistakes? they are being challenged,
9:37 am
the professor ‘s figures being challenged by the government, but this is worrying that there are more women being caught up in this?” think the important thing as we discussed after the 450 women were identified in 2009 is how did this happen and why was it not noticed? at the moment public health in england are disagreeing with this analysis but it's important we know when these error started. because that might actually give us the explanation, was there a change in protocol or it system ? explanation, was there a change in protocol or it system? also as he was talking about, data published every year but perhaps not been looked at. the key thing is how did it happen and how did it go unnoticed. because if you don't know the answer to either of those questions you cannot absolutely say it wouldn't happen again. to the
9:38 am
a nswer to it wouldn't happen again. to the answer to any of those? not fully. it doesn't look like something special happened in 2009. public health england are insisting that the case but they need to be more transparent, where is the data for their analysis? looking at the numbers invited, not enough women we re numbers invited, not enough women were invited in 2006, 2007, 2008. the government policy was to have it ruled out by 200a—mac so if it had not been ruled out, why not? it is more about ensuring that when there is policy it is implemented correctly and people are monitoring, there is openness about it. i would not want women to become overly excited or upset by this, if they
9:39 am
are alive now, they have not had breast cancer... are you saying women do not need to worry because ultimately they will? that was a concern about publishing this letter because i don't want to create more worry. i think it doesn't help the situation. i know last time lots of women were calling helplines the government and charities had set up and they were inundated. if a woman has symptoms and she's concerned she should go to her gp immediately. but if she feels she wants to be screened there is no urgency with that. if she is over, mid—70s, there is probably no point in doing it either. lee, when your mother was diagnosed was she given the indication that if she had had a mammogram it might have been different? they did say if she had come in earlier and they had caught it it certainly would. nothing will change the cancer she had but if she
9:40 am
had had the mammogram done she might still be here today. stage three by the time she got seen. there went straight to stage four. you think of women have not been called for a mammogram they should take it upon themselves to go to the doctor, to approach the hospital and say i want this screening or is that too much, to put women in that position? no, i think women should, they should demand a mammogram, they should go along to their doctors. if you're sitting there today and you've not had one, go. at the end of the day it will save your life. no matter what they say, it will save your life. doctor, do you think thisjust affect women in england or beyond? after the 450,000 women were identified mail that that the
9:41 am
systems in wales and northern ireland because the same it system is used and they were happy they did not appear to be any risk of that happening. in scotland we have a different system and a different date on a system so we are happy it does not apply to women who have spent their whole lives in scotland. but as i raised the last time there may well be women who have moved, moved to scotland during this time not having had the last screening. i would agree with the professor, people know who missed screening backin people know who missed screening back in 2005 are probably 83,84 and it is probably not beneficial to go for a screening mammogram now because you end up finding and treating small cancerous or precancerous which would never have done them any harm. i think most of the women who sadly had a cancer missed back in the mid—2000's will actually have presented like lee's
9:42 am
mother but hopefully most of them at an earlier point during the interim. professor, public health england who oversee the screening policy say your analysis is flawed and does not ta ke your analysis is flawed and does not take into account when the programme was ruled out to 70—year—old women, what is your response? the analysis is quite simple, it's just looking at the proportion of women aged 65-70 at the proportion of women aged 65—70 who were invited each year and from 2005 it's been a similar proportion, there was no change in 2009. public health england have not provided any other analysis or any other data other than what was in the statement from the secretary of state. i think it is for them to be much more open and to say this is exactly what is going on. if i am wrong, fine. all i am saying is that the data shows not enough women were

being invited since 2005, there are different reasons for that, fine, but nobody has noticed it, nobody looked at the data and if this is a major problem why was it not sorted out ten years ago or at least eight yea rs out ten years ago or at least eight years ago? thank you all very much for joining years ago? thank you all very much forjoining us. coming up... hollywood mogul harvey weinstein is likely to be charged by police for the first time since allegations of sexual misconduct first emerged almost a year ago. we'll be bringing you the latest. danny boyle will direct the next james bond film, the movie's producers have confirmed. the 25th official bond film will begin production at the end of this year and will be released in october of next year. daniel craig has said this will be his final bond film. joining me now is steven mcintosh, bbc 0nline's entertainment journalist. we have heard this before from daniel craig, but we will talk about
9:44 am
that in a moment. danny boyle, how much of the surprise is this? not huge, in some sense it's not his first involvement with james bond because if you think back to 2012 he directed the london 0lympic opening ceremony which famously featured daniel craig as james bond and that sketch co—starred the queen. daniel craig as james bond and that sketch co-starred the queen. as herself. of course. it is interesting, danny boyle does have a vague connection already but this will be his first time properly taking the reins as director. john hodge writing the script and they have worked together before on trainspotting. it is being called a james bond 25 as a working title, do we know any details? we don't have the title, a few questions remain. 0ne the title, a few questions remain. one is who will sing the theme song, ed sheeran has said he has written a song even though nobody has technically asked him, he's got one just in case. has he said that?
9:45 am
absolutely, i think he is keen to do it. dua lipa is also in the frame. we just know it's going to start shooting in december of this year and should be hitting cinemas in 0ctober next year. and should be hitting cinemas in october next year. also some potential leaks, i october next year. also some potential lea ks, i have october next year. also some potential leaks, i have potentially heard that james bond potential leaks, i have potentially heard thatjames bond might be getting married in this one? they have certainly not released any details like that, we'll have to wait and see. by the time the film comes out next year daniel craig will become the longest serving actor to have played james bond which is interesting because roger moore and sean connery have done more films but over a shorter period of time so by the time the sun comes out daniel craig will have the longest serving actor to have the role. but what the film actually will include we are sketchy on the details so far. how important is james bond as a franchise to the
9:46 am
british film industry? hugely important, it is one of the british brands. there are things like doctor who, things which make people very proud to be british and james bond is obviously, there is a stat that more than half the world, the world's population has seen a james bond film. it's such a good export for the british film industry. thank you. liverpool face real madrid in the champions league final on saturday night. it's the biggest game in european football. liverpool are england's most successful team in europe, having won the european cup and champions league a total of five times. the final itself is in kiev, which has proved somewhat challenging — not to mention expensive — for fans to get to. we can chat now to liverpool fans at various points along theirjourney — jordan scott, who's getting two flights, a train and then driving to kiev, steven thompson, who's getting married today

9:48 am
sleep, straight on the plane in the morning, out to kiev, fly back on sunday morning and i go on my honeymoon sunday morning at about nine o'clock, if i make the flight. don't say that! your fiance is either very understanding or she has just given up?! she knew what she was getting into when she agreed to marry me. she has been pretty cool. the original plan was i would try to meet her at the location of the honeymoon but i found a flight that got me back with about an hour to spare, she would prefer me to do that. it has cost a lot but... she can't go on honeymoon on her own, come on! she would have had two seats, loads of room! she is very understanding. rob, your flight seats, loads of room! she is very understanding. rob, yourflight was cancelled yesterday. what is the current situation? we got very little information, to be honest,

9:50 am
as they never had a time slot. with a bit of pushing back and forwards they agreed to change. ok. rob's line has dropped out, not that surprising. it sounds like it has been sorted, that is good news, rob will be on a flight. kids, where are you now one yourjourney to kiev? currently at cobham services. you have not got very far, to be honest! that is in surrey. we are driving to folk —— driving to folkestone, catching the euro tunnel. whence you expect to arrive? we get to lviv at about 6am tomorrow, then we had to drive to kiev, which takes around seven hours. you will not be terribly fresh for the final? we might bea terribly fresh for the final? we might be a little bit wary but it is definitely worth it. had you got accommodation now? so many people

9:53 am
somewhere in poland. you don't even have a ticket. kids, how confident are you feeling? —— kit, how confident are you feeling? mo salah is the man everybody wants to perform. we were discussing itjust now, we are confident about tomorrow. as long as we turn up and perform as we should, we both think we can bring the cup home with us. rob? absolutely, they have ronaldo that we have salah. also rob andrews is still with us. where are you on the flight situation? when are you going? 0h, the flight situation? when are you going? oh, so frustrating, his line has gone. we know he will get a flight, has gone. we know he will get a flight, that is the most important thing. have an absolutely incredible night tomorrow. best of luck,

10:07 am
dozens then, in the months we have seen d oze ns of then, in the months we have seen dozens of women come forward with similar stories of alleged assault, rape, inappropriate behaviour. we do not know which case he will be charged today, it could possibly be the 200a case involving lucy evans, an actress who said harvey weinstein forced her to perform oral sex on him. it could be a 2010 case involving another actress who said in 2010 harvey weinstein right her twice. we are going to get a lot more information after he is formally charged with these crimes later today. one more question before you go, we also know that the breadth of the campaigns and so many public figures apologising for inappropriate behaviour, we have had an apology from morgan freeman as well? yes, there's been an national
10:08 am
reckoning in the last few months, people calling this the weinstein affect with so many women coming forward with similar stories, movements like me to and time is up. leading to the downfall of politicians, actors and businessmen. this is a national reckoning. we also want to mention this is not just a new york city investigation, harvey weinstein is being investigated in los angeles, london. this is the beginning of a long road for him and a conviction would mean a lot to a lot of these women who have already come forward. thank you very much for that update. with me in the studio is daisy lewis — a director and actor who's starred in the hit series downton abbey — and sandro monetti — a british showbizjournalist — based in la who has been covering

10:10 am
have changed, movie studios and film academies in businesses, the whole way of life here in hollywood has changed. this is a city used to earthquakes. this is a ten on the rector scale. it's changed everything in los angeles and for the better. and it all started when allegations were made about harvey weinstein back in october and now it's coming to a close with him finally in the dock. thank you for joining us. i am pleased to see daisy lewis is with us. what is your reaction to how things have changed in hollywood since the harvey weinstein news broke? in hollywood since the harvey weinstein news broke ?” in hollywood since the harvey weinstein news broke? i think it is heartening and exciting. i feel like things are changing. not enough, not fa st things are changing. not enough, not fast enough. but this is the
10:11 am
beginning of wider conversations about gender inequality, about gender relations in general. the role of women, the role of men. i hope it doesn'tjust role of women, the role of men. i hope it doesn't just stay within the entertainment industry. 0r hope it doesn't just stay within the entertainment industry. or be seen as something just on the red carpet. i think it's been interesting that it hasn't crossed over into other industries as much as it has any industry that i work in. i work in a particularly visible industry. have you noticed it change?” particularly visible industry. have you noticed it change? i spent three months in america earlier this year for work and it was really noticeable. casting practice says... like what, give us an example of how it used to be and how it is now?
10:12 am
things in terms of diversity as well, it's notjust a conversation about women, to conversation about women of colour, about female directors, it's about authorship and who is getting to tell stories. these voices are now being heard. you can see in amazing programmes like beg little lies and women taking ownership of material they create and that's really cool and exciting. is at the same here? i don't think it is. and that makes me sad. i feel like the response don't think it is. and that makes me sad. ifeel like the response in hollywood, because it was such a huge case and because he was such a powerful figure that he is sort of ripples that it's sort of taken a little bit longer to hit our shores.
10:13 am
i feel like that's represented within europe as well, there were female actresses in brands to wrote a letter and i've found that's puzzling —— a letter and i've found that's puzzling — — in a letter and i've found that's puzzling —— in france. ifound it quite difficult. there has been a study very recently by the writers guild of great britain which, this was published three, four days ago which said only 16% of screenwriters are women and that there is a fundamental inequality in the way that we tell stories. is that because women are not offering to put these stories forward , offering to put these stories forward, or is this the industry saying we are not interested? forward, or is this the industry saying we are not interested ?m forward, or is this the industry saying we are not interested? it is biased. it is bias. it is not
10:14 am
market—driven, either. at the box office, stories written by female screenwriters do unbelievably well. it isjust screenwriters do unbelievably well. it is just inherent screenwriters do unbelievably well. it isjust inherent within screenwriters do unbelievably well. it is just inherent within the system. and we have to actually actively work against that. and if you do, are you seen as a troublemaker? i don't mean you personally. if a woman stands up and says this is not right and makes a bit of a fuss? the character i played on downton abbey, for example, was a feminist. and anyone who says this system is not working is somebody who is causing friction. it is not a particularly likeable thing to say. you go this isn't working out. and come again, i suppose that could be seen as making trouble. my character was very much
10:15 am
seen as a troublemaker. it has to be said, really. in the same way that the #metoo campaign, women were saying this is not ok. this isn't 0k. some people were going, well, we didn't know that that wasn't 0k. the framework in which they were existing... people told them it was acceptable ? existing... people told them it was acceptable? yes, and when the ground shift some people go, that is not ok then, yeah, it will cause friction. has that been seen as acceptable? if we look at the allegations facing harvey weinstein, which he denies, is that kind of level going to hit the uk film and tv industry? is there a problem here like there appears to have been in hollywood?” don't know if it is at this scale. i myself, i think anyone who has ever
10:16 am
worked in any industry has come up against certain things that have made them feel slightly uncomfortable. i can't speak for the whole of the industry and i don't know. but the facts and the figures show that we are not doing well enoughin show that we are not doing well enough in terms of equal representation, the stories being told. and that in turn shapes our culture, because these other stories our children are watching, our are watching. and many have such a fundamental inequality in the talent in front of an behind—the—scenes, what type of message is that sending to the next generation? it is a feedback loop that has to be changed. and these are difficult questions. fundamentally, there is a crisis now with also male identity.
10:17 am
male suicide is the biggest killer of men under45. male suicide is the biggest killer of men under 45. that is terrifying. that is really terrifying. this is a wider conversation which my industry isjust a small part of, but because we tell the stories of our nation it is important that we try and make an effort to redress the balance.” is important that we try and make an effort to redress the balance. i do not expect you to name names, but do you have conversations with other flameout actors and this has happened about what needs to change? —— with other female actors?” happened about what needs to change? -- with other female actors? i have had a lot of conversations with other female actors who have bought their own reasons decided not to come forward. —— who have, for their owi'i reasons. come forward. —— who have, for their own reasons. either because it is too painful to revisit experiences or because they would be seen as a troublemaker. and i think historical
10:18 am
allegations are always very difficult. and that is sad. i think it is something about being british, too. it is inherent within our culture to... stiff upper lip. stiff upperlip. culture to... stiff upper lip. stiff upper lip. until things get really, really painful we tend to keep going. but i feel there is a change happening and especially after the weekend as well, and we now have a new memberof weekend as well, and we now have a new member of the royal family who calls herself a feminist. this is an exciting time. i think it is exciting time. i think it is exciting for women, i think there is a big conversation going on today in ireland as well. these are all symptomatic of a larger conversation, but i think that because our industry tends to be the most visible and we are the stories,
10:19 am
we have a responsibility to tell the stories that are going on, we need to make a bigger effort than we have done to see female directors coming forward , done to see female directors coming forward, female writers, female producers. and time will tell. daisy, thank you so much for coming in, iam daisy, thank you so much for coming in, i am really grateful. it is a privilege, thanks. still to come... the ‘biggest weekend' — it's two days of live music across all four home nations — and it's the biggest music event ever hosted by the bbc. it's the biggest shake—up of personal data privacy rules since the birth of the internet and has spawned tonnes of emails bunging up our inboxes asking we want to opt in or opt out of online marketing. the general data protection regulation, to give it its full title, is a piece of eu legislation passed by the european parliament in 2016. it's supposed to make it simpler for people to control how companies use our personal data, and it comes into force from today. in a moment we'll answer some of the big questions you might have but first let's take a look
10:20 am
at what it's about — here's chris foxx. you've probably had a lot of e—mails lately from companies asking you to review their privacy policies. that's because from today a new law kicks in that changes how our personal data can be used and stops companies using some of their old tricks to get hold of our personal information. gdpr stands for general data protection regulation. it's a huge new law that applies to all eu countries, but even companies in the us and china have to follow the new rules if dealing with eu citizens. the gdpr spells out how companies can get our consent to use our personal information. a request for consent can't be buried under pages and pages of terms and conditions. it has to be clearly distinguishable from other matters. pre—ticked boxes can no longer be used to indicate consent, and making someone hand over more personal information exchange for extra features or a premium service is also not allowed, because that doesn't count as freely

given consent. the law gives all eu citizens the right to access and erasure. at any time you can ask a company for a copy of your personal information, and they'll have to comply with a month. you can tell a company to correct any data that is wrong, or ask a company to delete any personal data it holds about you, and they'll have to have a good reason not to do so. gdpr also requires companies to keep our data safe, to stop it being stolen. if there is a data breach, companies must inform their national regulator within 72 hours of finding out about it, where possible. and there are big penalties for companies that don't comply. the maximum fine under gdpr is 20 million euros, or a% of a compa ny‘s global turnover, whichever is higher. and that's got companies worried. in a moment we'll look at what this all means for those of us who've become almost addicted
10:22 am
to sharing our information online — and particularly for young people. but what does the gdpr mean for you and why you should we care about it? let's look at the big five questions with the guardian's alex hern. first of all, why on earth are we getting bored of these e—mails that we have been for the last few weeks? the simple answer is that gdpr changes some of the rules around what intel's consent for companies to market to you. companies now need explicit consent freely given for each type of marketing they do, but really the answer is that some of the regulators, the information commissioner's office of the uk, which gives guidance, has been a bit unclear. it took them may the 9th to issue a myth busting think telling companies the e—mails might... might not be necessary at all. by then,
10:23 am
loads of people had sent them out and loads more were copying what they had seen. i think there was an element of fear goes finds for reaching gdpr are 20 million new rows or a% of global revenue, whichever is higher. so you are seeing belt and braces, people doing whatever they can to comply. if we get these e—mails, and i seem to have hundreds, is it safe to ignore them? yep. the worst-case scenario in the vast majority of these situations is you will end up accidentally unsubscribing from something you wanted. if you see any mailfrom somebody you something you wanted. if you see any mail from somebody you do something you wanted. if you see any mailfrom somebody you do not something you wanted. if you see any mail from somebody you do not really ca re mail from somebody you do not really care about, ignoring it will either unsubscribe you which is, frankly, quite good for most of these, or you will not find out about changes to their privacy policy, but they will be good changes tightening up the privacy policy, because that is what the law requires. everything is kind of dandy. what specifically changes
10:24 am
from today? gdpr is in effect. the law was passed two years ago but because it is such wide ranging, sweeping changes implemented, companies were given two years to get ready. in practice it looks like not many of those use the two years. ido not many of those use the two years. i do not think this onslaught of e—mails over the last few months is companies deciding two years ago we will leave it until the last minute, i think they were caught off—guard like everybody else. which areas are particularly affected ? like everybody else. which areas are particularly affected? some are specifically called out, certain types of sensitive data, medical information being very obvious, information being very obvious, information about sexuality, religion, political views. they are called out in the legislation as requiring precise care and careful controls, meaning companies working in those areas like medicine, health care, they are really having to try hard. similarly political parties have found they have lost millions of e—mails from a database because
10:25 am
it is certainly sensitive information and they need much more explicit consent to keep this and they have not got it. then it is also businesses which require on shaky consent in general. some american companies have said we will not deal with europeans any more, we operate on not really telling you exactly what we will do with your data. so it is good for us? this is the point of the law, it is making it so that companies which make a quick buck from selling your data look at the risk reward and back. that is why we care? that is the best case scenario. it is very small but going from implicit consent to explicit means if you just carry on with your life as normal, you'll find you accidentally give away fewer rights. classic stuff like check this box to not receive e—mails becomes check this box to receive e—mail. if you ignore the
10:26 am
box, suddenly you're getting spammed slightly less and handing away fewer rights. that has to be good for lots of people. do stay with us, but i would like to bring in berni good, who is a cyber psychologist in london. let's talk a little bit about the psychology behind... com plete about the psychology behind... complete openness with sharing really personal, important data online. why do we do that? there is a numberof online. why do we do that? there is a number of psychological phenomena happening, one of them being when people are in an online computer mediated communication environment their sense of having a real environment is removed, so their social norms are removed. but if you acce pt social norms are removed. but if you accept things face—to—face with somebody or in an offline environments, you will be very aware. so what is happening is something called the disinhibition effect. your social norms have falle n effect. your social norms have fallen to the way high —— wayside
10:27 am
and you might agree to terms and conditions and privacy policies without reading them because it doesn't seem as real as in the real world. is it laziness? sometimes you getan world. is it laziness? sometimes you get an e—mail, you are half concentrating and you do not read it properly? i think it is more to do with the idea that humans are social beings with a need to be social with each other. so, for example, on social media environments we get lots of validation when somebody likes a post that we have posted, for example. those types of things are really important. relating to other human beings in a meaningful way is a psychological need that we have which helps give us a sense of well— being and motivation. have which helps give us a sense of well—being and motivation. so perhaps people skirt through them a bit quicker because they want to relate to other people, and having the validation they get from these online communities. alex, a question
10:28 am
we have been sent in, i live in one of three blocks of retirement flats, a6 in total. we have been told to destroy a list we have always had a ball the phone numbers and flat numbers contained therein, including friends. we have been told we cannot be given a flat number or phone number without the express permission of that owner. is that right? i am not a lawyer, always preface everything with that. there are two options, one is that it might be incredibly risk averse legal advice, sitting down and going that this talks a lot about consent and we did not gather specific consent. the safest thing to do is delete it. but the possible exception i've heard in situations like this in a story about a meals on wheels service which had a similar decision, is that if you are ina similar decision, is that if you are in a retirement community some of that information could be seen as medically sensitive data. the fact you are in a retirement community
10:29 am
might be medically pertinent and have that sensitive data protection it's tricky to say, destroying it all without any option is probably a bit overbearing. thank you both so much. and if you're still confused and have more questions to ask, send them to our colleagues on the news channel. chris foxx will be doing a special ask this together with a specialist on gdpr. text your questions to 6112a, email askthis@bbc.co.uk or use the hashtag bbc ask this. that's at 11:30 on the bbc news channel. still to come... thousands of syrian migrants have made the perilous journey out of their war—torn homeland and across europe in search of safety. we'll be speaking to some, however, who've decided to made the same journey back to syria. and, new research sheds light on the ultimate first world problem — the trauma of waiting for a takeaway.

10:35 am
syrians are caught by greek police on the border. 0ne syrians are caught by greek police on the border. one by one the police begin to arrest them. men, women and children, together with all their belongings risking everything for a new life. but these people don't wa nt to new life. but these people don't want to enter europe, they are desperate to leave it. there is a small but growing number of syrian refugees who are turning their back on the safety of europe to smuggle themselves home. i'm about tojoin some of them to find out why anybody would put themselves through this to return to a war zone. my my first stop is southern germany. a largely rural state, it is now home
10:36 am
to one of the biggest refugee populations in the country. in the past few years, around 150,000 people have sought asylum here. the vast majority of them see their future in germany. but i'm here to meet one man who is thinking of leaving. 27—year—old zack arrived in germany from a liberal with high hopes. he says he was ready to restart his career as a metalworker. but two years on, things have not worked out the way he hoped. he
10:37 am
struggles with the language and is yet to find a job. for the past seven months, he's been sharing a house with more than 20 other refugees. together with four others, they live eat and sleep in this one room. after two years after two yea rs in after two years in germany, use regretting his decision to come to europe. he has decided to leave germany and
10:38 am
return home. he is definitely not alone. but without official statistics it's impossible to calculate the exact number of syrians giving up on europe. although estimates suggest hundreds every week and i were leaving. like most syrian refugees wanting to leave europe, it difficult and dangerous journey and it will involve smuggling himself overland from greece into turkey. this is the northern city that is
10:39 am
the next stop on the journey. a major tourist destination it's also a busy crossroads on europe's migration route. the path where people entering europe from the east and those leaving it collide. at the central bus station dozens of syrians are preparing to continue their journey to turkey and ultimately to syria. there is no turning back. it's not just it's notjust single men like this leaving europe. its families with young children, some of them born in germany. i wondered why they have decided to take a child to a war zone. mohammed has arrived from germany with his regnant wife and seven children. the syrians now face a five—hour journey to the border. it is the last stop before they cross on foot out of europe and into turkey.
10:40 am
spending time with the families on this coach, i begin to understand that not everyone was unhappy in europe. somejust that not everyone was unhappy in europe. some just wanted to that not everyone was unhappy in europe. somejust wanted to be reunited with their families, no matter what the risk. under the cover of darkness, the families prepare to illegally cross into turkey on foot. many of these people hear smuggling themselves back along the same roots down which they arrived in europe. 0nce back along the same roots down which they arrived in europe. once again, they arrived in europe. once again, they have packed their entire belongings into a few bags, hoping yet again for a better life. everyone here is terrified because
10:41 am
the greek police could come and pick them up at any time, but they are so close. all they have to do is cross this river and they will get into turkey. with so many people taking this hidden route home, the syrians have started to call a europe smack back door. as they make their exit, this man has won more message for his former hosts. as the syrians walk through the night, each of them has their own reasons for giving up on europe, but
10:42 am
one thing they all have in common is their desperate struggle to find a home where they can be happy, like they once were in syria. you can watch the full documentary this weekend on the bbc news channel, saturday or sunday at 9:30pm. let me bring you this breaking news just reaching us at the bbc. joseph isaacs has been found guilty of the attempted murder of 96 sage d—day
10:43 am
vetera n attempted murder of 96 sage d—day veteranjim attempted murder of 96 sage d—day veteran jim booth. attempted murder of 96 sage d—day veteranjim booth. mr isaacs hit him repeatedly over the head with a claw hammer. doctors said he was lucky to survive. joseph isaacs has been found guilty of the attempted murder of that 96—year—old d—day veteran jim booth, who was lucky to survive the attack when mr isaacs hit him repeatedly over the head with a claw hammer. over the past four days powerful and moving testimony has been given by families who lost loved ones at grenfell tower as the inquiry in to what exactly happened got underway. earlier in the programme we heard from hisam choucair, who lost six members of his family in the disaster — his mum, sister, brother—in—law and three nieces. here's a shorter version of that interview — i started by asking how he and his family are coping. it's been really difficult. every day is a struggle, a new challenge. a fight. yeah...
10:44 am
do you feel you're being listened to, and do the otherfamilies affected so badly by this tragedy feel they're being listened to? no. and the reason for that is there are challenges. i call them unnecessary challenges that the bereaved survivors, the community, are challenging the government on they shouldn't have to. that's why i call them unnecessary challenges. like what, what particularly would you say is unnecessary? for example, about a week ago, we visited the house of commons. and we spoke with mps. and we tried to inform them exactly what is actually going on, on the ground to implement a diverse panel. underneath sir martin moore—bick.
10:45 am
if you take into consideration the history of that area, the community, the diverse people that live in that tower, it calls for a diverse panel, but that wasn't given. of course there will be two more peoplejoining, in this second phase of this inquiry to try and make that panel more diverse. i know that is something that theresa may has committed to. there have been criticism, this week, at the inquiry, not least, at the beginning, everyone was told there would be warnings before there was any harrowing, disturbing footage played and yet there was a moment where there was some footage played
10:46 am
that people found distressing and many people had to leave. in fairness to the inquiry, it's a learning curve for them. and they will get things wrong. and i'm sure it's emotional for them, as well, in fairness. what message have you got for the government, the authorities, the people in power, from you as a family so profoundly affected by this disaster? do the right thing for the people, the community. the bereaved, the survivors. implement the rulings of sir martin moore—bick in full. and give people the housing, which, until today, they're still waiting for.
10:47 am
and make sure this doesn't happen again. this weekend sees the biggest music event the bbc has ever hosted — funnily enough, called the biggest weekend. there'll be two days of live music events across all four nations in the united kingdom. bbc radio 1, radio 2, 3 and 6 music have stages in belfast in northern ireland, coventry in england, swansea in wales and perth in scotland — bringing acts from ed sheeran, to 0rbital, liam gallagher to nigel kennedy. let's speak now to 6 music presenter matt everitt, who's at the event in belfast at the historic titanic slipway. tell us all about it. what is going on, who will be there? well, for a
10:48 am
start it is sunny. normally british festivals, it is not like this, normally i would be wading through mud, so this is a very good start. we are in the shadow of the titanic centre on the belfast titanic slipway, ready for two days of the most astonishing music. we are bringing together some of the most incredible acts from across the world, fatherjohn misty, back, the breeders, 0rbital, radio1 has ed sheeran, taylor swift, florence and the machine. and these cities might not always get the respect that they deserve for their musical heritage. the stage behind the camera where the action will be taking place, it is like the size of redding festival glastonbury, it is enormous. the doors open at midday, it will kick—off very soon, two days of nonstop music. as well as the big bands you have
10:49 am
local acts performing in the week leading up to this, fringe festivals at each city with q&as and panels, and the bbc introducing strand where it tries to find brand—new acts and gives them a platform in front of a much bigger audience than ever. florence and the machine came to that channel, from being relatively unknown to one of the biggest acts in the world. how are people in belfast preparing? i assume this is the buzz in the city? it is. it is fantastic seeing people getting so enthusiastic. all the grassroots events have been staged by 6 music and the team. it is really cool seeing belfast come alive. maybe for some of the bigger a cts alive. maybe for some of the bigger acts in the 70s and 80s this is not acts in the 70s and 80s this is not a city many people toured through, you would go to london, edinburgh, glasgow, maybe not necessarily here. it is interesting seeing people
10:50 am
realise that this is a really important music city. the musical heritage of belfast has always been very important. the punk scene was very important. the punk scene was very vibrant in the 70s, john peel, music legend, was very supportive of the scene, teenage kicks by the undertones was his favourite song. the man who has done some incredible hollywood music like the music from ocea ns hollywood music like the music from oceans 11 is here. 0rbital, rave music icons, did a track called belfast in the early 90s. they came to the city, invited by david holmes, when they were relatively small and had such an amazing time and was so blown over by the audiences that they wrote the track belfast in tribute. we have ash playing, who come from this neck of the woods. we are trying to reflect the woods. we are trying to reflect the musical soul of each of the
10:51 am
cities in the line—up. the musical soul of each of the cities in the line-up. it sounds incredible. thank you, matt everett, speaking to us from that event in belfast, which kicks off in about an hour. now, if you've ever found yourself getting antsy and annoyed while ordering a takeaway, you're not alone. new research suggests the trauma of waiting for pizzas and other fast food increases our heart rates from 70 beats per minute to 87. stress levels also increase from 17.25 to 18.38, which sets in around a0 minutes after ordering food. dr martin khechera, who conducted the research at wolverhampton university, joins us now. talk about first world problems, ta ke talk about first world problems, take trauma?! yes, i will work has really shown that this might be a really shown that this might be a real thing. we did this work at our facility at the university at wolverhampton and we really did see a physiological and psychological effect on our student participants who volunteered to do the
10:52 am
experiment. take us through the four stages of takeaway trauma. you get fidgety, participants were moving around a lot. we tried to have them under controlled conditions in the laboratory, we had them lying down but they got fidgety, foot tapping etc. then they would get anxious, more finger tapping etc, their movements become more exaggerated and we really saw this. a behavioural expert looked up the video. then people start to get i rate. the longer they wait, the more stress levels build and they get more and more not angry, they're not being violent or anything like that but they are genuinely getting really i rate. and finally there is lost, they are so disappointed that their order has not turned up that they have just given up.” their order has not turned up that they havejust given up. i kind their order has not turned up that they have just given up. i kind of wa nt to they have just given up. i kind of want to ask why you did this study, i don't mean to be rude, but... of course. any study like this, we are
10:53 am
showing that ordering a takeaway... iam not showing that ordering a takeaway... i am not saying it is bad but when you talk about real—world problems, people can identify with it. it might be something as small as ordering a takeaway online, but causing proper effects on people. and to give people that awareness of their body. i am going to have to stop you, best, because my pizza has arrived. it might be be for 11am but iam good, arrived. it might be be for 11am but i am good, the kruis happy. everybody is getting close to me, i can't imagine why! bbc newsroom live is coming up, have a lovely day. good morning. for many parts of england and wales it is a much cloudy day compared to recent days. i could have showed you a weather
