8:11 am
also the co—chair of the anti—knife crime group in suffolk that i broadly support stop and search and we are looking at a uk crisis. the word epidemic are now being used, it is affecting every major town and city throughout the uk so clearly something has to be done and i've seen footage, and i've spoken to many users and i meant or used, so i hear it and see it because i work closely with the police and go on weapon sweeps so i've seen the kinds of weapons and knives young people are carrying. it was a controversial policy it was very controversial. the data there is, and depending data does not show that stop and search stops knife crime and violence. but it's a means to. i think where my concern and the concerns of others, particularly from the black community who were
8:12 am
previously affected by the old laws are the parents and grandparents of the current generation, and it is about being rolled out. there has not, in my view, been enough engagement with the black community who have a lot of information and other communities. this rolling out, it cannot be a one size fits all. there have been piloted in five or six different areas. indeed but there has to be more engagement about how it is because the issue of disproportionality. and also the issue of trust in the police. now, i work very closely with officers in suffolk police and colleagues in police in lambeth and other places and it is that thing about doing it ina and it is that thing about doing it in a partnership. it has to be a partnership approach. the community has lots of intelligence, they want to share it with the police, they wa nt to to share it with the police, they want to know how to do it and to save lives of young people that are
8:13 am
involved in violence. but they need to have the trust. lets put some of those points tojohn apter if we can. there... this proportionately they might disproportionately affect they might disproportionately affect the black community. how do we go about stop and search? it depends on what part of stop and search you are using and certainly what the prime minister has announced this morning is the enhanced section 60 which is where policing feels that there was a serious risk of violent crime that may happen, then that can be used more widely. in that sort of environment, where there is a significant risk to that community, however small it may be, then the police can stop and search anybody andl police can stop and search anybody and i would expect my colleagues, as they do, the vast majority of the time, it will be an encounter with
8:14 am
an individual that is unremarkable, nothing comes from it and may be something is found. let's not forget everything i was caught on body cameras so everything i was caught on body cameras so there is far more transparency than there ever has beenin transparency than there ever has been in the past, but i completely agree with your previous speaker. we need to have much better community policing engagement with community groups, schools and colleges. sadly of the past ten years, that has been eroded away because policing has been eroded away by the previous prime minister so been eroded away by the previous prime ministerso i'm been eroded away by the previous prime minister so i'm reassured. you can talk directly to nora quoirin. —— you can speak directly to elena. how do you say that... 7 —— you can speak directly to elena. how do you say that... ? i'm very concerned about policing in particular communities that are not used to diversity. i'm working on the ground with that were formerly involved in county lines that they
8:15 am
gave me a regular update as to what areas have been affected. lets let john answer that. elena, i've seen some brilliant work with police all over england and wales working with community leaders, community groups but it's not enough and i agree with you. we are on the same page. there has got to be better engagement with local communities. we need to not only explain why we have to do stop and search but hopefully prevent the knives going on the street because let's not forget what we all want of your kids being killed or stabbed on our streets. if it's done properly, elena, are you confident this is the right thing to do? if it is done... absolutely. i am pro stop and search with caveats and community leaders have said to me they want to be involved in the process of identifying use that are at risk of violence, are in violence and are handing those weapons over saving lives. this is a uk issue, it's not
8:16 am
even a race issue now. it's notjust for the black community, is it? not at all. lots of people i have spoken to all over the country... if it is done well, if it engages the community well, people will work together. that's what happens. community well, people will work together. that's what happenslj heard together. that's what happens.” heard someone speaking in the week you said the key thing with this is item stop and search is to make it uncool to carry knives. there is a lot for role models in all our communities, isn't there? it's taking those lives, taking those weapons, reducing the inter—conflicts as well. it is not just the weapons and retaliation, it's also the inter—conflicts between different groups of people thatis between different groups of people that is firing this as well. as you say, withjohn, that is firing this as well. as you say, with john, you that is firing this as well. as you say, withjohn, you have a shared ambition. and get that message to pretty patel and borisjohnson i've met in the past when he was the former mayor of london. —— get this
8:17 am
message to priti patel. thank you for your time this morning. appreciate it. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. good morning, how's it working? not like summer grow some part of the country, that is fair that this is one of your flooding is that the country, that is to say. this is one of your flooding yesterday across parts of scotland and there is more to come, i suspect, for one to today. the same areas being affected by heavy rain this week, parts of southern scotland and northern england especially so there will be some travel in packs. if you are on the move, bbc local radio is your best port of call for travel information as you go. let me show you whether the heaviest most persistent rain is at present, pushing into glasgow and edinburgh. some rain to the north and west of
8:18 am
scotland, northern ireland. this will ease away. improving conditions here but in the south, while many have the sunshine at the moment, a scattering of heavy and thundery showers are said to develop. 0ne comfort of southern areas compared with yesterday, the wind nowhere near as strong. the breeze is picking up to the north of scotland, northern ireland, where there is a breeze and while it will bring brighter conditions, this is at four o'clock, we will see some sunny spells develop as this... will not affect those in parts of central or southern scots and comedy central beds that might go through towards lanarkshire, and then parts of cumbria, northumberland, the focus on more persistent rain through the afternoon and this is very good to be concerned with more flooding has he any day. south of that, better chance of seeing some sunshine but also a scattering of heavy showers, thundery in places. the south—east and some parts of east anglia will stay completely dry. temperatures of 23 celsius but notice further north of those winds develop, even with brighter skies, 13—16dc as the eye,
8:19 am
chilly day for august. we finished the day with the rain across south—east part of scotland and northern england. 0ne south—east part of scotland and northern england. one or two showers else we are continuing. most places are becoming dry, partly clear skies and a cooler night than recent nights. this is into monday morning, temperature is into single figures in rural parts of scotland, england and northern ireland where winds will be lighter as well. air pulls off into scandinavia but remnants of that with a front trailing through northern england for tomorrow. more dominant across parts of yorkshire i suspect about it today. either side of that, more sunshine, some heavy, maybe thundery showers across east anglia and parts of the south—east at times. temperatures for all will be down once again, high teens, low 20s at the very best and that sums up 20s at the very best and that sums up the week ahead as far as the temperatures are concerned. see in the forecast, nothing much above 21 celsius and there will be some
8:20 am
sunshine at times. wednesday and thursday the best favoured for that but if we get —— as he going to tuesday into wednesday, more wet and windy weather possible across parts of england and wales especially. you may as well just get wet and windy tattooed on your arm somewhere. don't suggest that. never-ending. a 20 am. —— 8:20am. from house construction to prosthetics, 3d printing is increasingly being used as a faster and cheaper alternative in manufacturing processes. but can it help keep fighter planes flying? 0ur science correspondent richard westcott has been given rare behind—the—scenes access to a us air force base in suffolk to see the technology in action. you have probably seen them, you will definitely have heard them. eagles are a common sghte over east anglia. the american fighter planes, that is, recognisable by the two tails at the back. but tucked away on their home base, we have been allowed to see the new technology used to keep them repaired and flying.
8:21 am
we are going to a secret bunker now. you can see it is very cold war chic. adam, hello. and this is your special bunker, is it? this is where you do your high—tech stuff. i love the door bell, by the way. the aircraft has some cracks here. fighter planes break a lot. it used to take months to order replacement parts from america. now they just print them. what kind of level of detail can you get? can you scan any part from any aircraft? yes. the level of detail goes down to about a0 microns. so it is... i don't know what that is. that is smaller than a hair.
8:22 am
it can pick up the fine details of the hairs and fibres on things. it can take nearly a day to print this so here, as they say, is one they made earlier. this is the broken part. adam, you have the part you printed. what's so good about that? we could print this in 23 hours. it may sound a long time but it prevented a few weeks of downtime to order in the equipment. and this is the technical bit. in another part of the base, the engineering is a bit more old school. i assume that because planes are made of metal it fatigues all the time when they pull those g forces? yes. especially the fighters. they are older and like to break a lot so we have to replace more parts than what we would normally have to. he was a part of an aircraft and here is a 3d printed mould.
8:23 am
—— here is a part of an aircraft and here is a 3d printed mould. what difference have these made to yourjob? a huge difference so far. it cuts down at least a day off the repair that we do and makes it far more convenient for us. we can mass—produce parts here and we do not have to waste time to heat treat. beforehand you had to trial and error fit a part but with this thing it is accurate? absolutely. it lets us mould the part to exactly what we need and that way we can fit it 100% of the time every time we needed. 3d printing will transform the world. imagine a future where a doctor gives you a prescription and you print the drug in your home. for now, however, this technology is the key to keeping these aircraft in the air. incredible pictures. it is amazing what you can use these 3d printers for. very efficient. it's a 23 am. good morning, we are going to take a look inside the newspapers that are all in. baroness newlove, the former victims' commissioner, is here to tell us what's
8:24 am
caught her eye. thank you for being with us. the last hour, you talked a lot about things that are quite close to your heart. slightly different makes this time. you're talking about a female referee breaking new ground, explain. and i love football so i'm delighted. the women's football was great. in april, she was refereeing a match in france and she got a round of applause so hopefully on wednesday, she's the first ever female referee for chelsea versus liverpool on the european super cup final in istanbul and i hope the fa ns final in istanbul and i hope the fans do the same because it will be tremendous pressure for her but i'm absolutely delighted for her. first timea absolutely delighted for her. first time a woman has refereed a major men's european final which is brilliant, why not? she is great, well done her, ijust hope we can applaud her. it's really nice to see which you don't normally get in football when they go on the pitch,
8:25 am
referees can be under intense scrutiny. a long way away from the premier league i suspect before we get to that. she's doing a job she loves a nd get to that. she's doing a job she loves and good for that. what team you support? united. big game, i love the manager. 0ne you support? united. big game, i love the manager. one of the old lands in the group. we will see how his new signings get on today as well, weren't we? we mentioned this earlier, if you're watching, a lovely story about a bride who fell in love with a stray on honeymoon. you might yeah, they were on honeymoon, richard and jessica, and of course we always see stray dogs and we go abroad. she fell in love, fed this dog and she has took to the greek animal century, paid all the vet bills and now it has a lovely home back with jessica vet bills and now it has a lovely home back withjessica and richard. it isa home back withjessica and richard. it is a beagle crossed with a corgi, it isa
8:26 am
it is a beagle crossed with a corgi, it is a lovely story because there are so many strays around. a lot of people i know have taken to adopting dogs from abroad because sometimes the controls in this country are incredibly strict if you have young children and parents working so this is becoming a more common route. they have two other dogs, and i'm a dog lover so i thought it was really nice, not an easyjourney getting him back but they have come home from their honeymoon with a dog. there you go. a unique memento. very much so. i mightjust reading the story, sorry. this is about the raf which is changing its rules and facial hair. we often see our men with moustaches but they are now going to be allowed to grow beards for the first time in the 101 year history. it said it must be kept trimmed and need, cover the whole jawline and we no longer than ten inches. that is... that is like sa nta.
8:27 am
inches. that is... that is like santa. i was slightly discombobulated by that.” santa. i was slightly discombobulated by that. ijust think the odds are the in thing, they've been around for years and yea rs, they've been around for years and years, i think it is really good. 101 years since they've been allowed. the raf and navy are allowing this, the royal navy, however the armed forces are saying no, we don't change our rules, they do allow it. so due for the price of not one i suppose in a sense but i just think with the moustaches, they we re just think with the moustaches, they were allowed them and so when it says we do not need wacky designs or anything, these moustaches grow quite... they are always twirling them. it's like biggles. you need cheering up on a sunday, don't you? are you a bit of a petrol head?” love ca rs are you a bit of a petrol head?” love cars and everything. i think this is definitely for a woman, don't you think? i like it and particularly because it's electric andi particularly because it's electric and i drive an electric car. a lot

8:29 am
of charges. it's fine producing the ca rs of charges. it's fine producing the cars but will you do not produce the charges. we cannot have one without the other. we know that in london as well. the new taxis that are electric, it's like rolls—royces but now they are silent and now we need to make them noisy. you'd have thought they would have put all their ducks in monro before doing this. if you are a lady penelope, as the member of the house of lords, do you get a parka to drag around? can you imagine it? no, we do not. not me. black cab or the tube. stay with us, headlines coming up.

8:41 am
shortage of the drug, because up to half of the most commonly prescribed forms are out of stock in some pharmacies. elizabeth carr—ellis was unable to get her prescription, she joins us from canterbury and in the studio, is kathy abernethy from the british menopause society. elizabeth, lets start with you. did this come out of the blue? no, because i am very interested in menopause had no do a lot of campaigning, soi menopause had no do a lot of campaigning, so i knew from reading on facebook sites that a lot of women had not been able to get their hrt for the last two or three months. i went to my gp early in case there was any problem. what particular form of hrt were you taking? i was supposed to be on some
8:42 am
form of fame seven patches, as they we re form of fame seven patches, as they were not able to get it, so i got transferred to tablets which u nfortu nately transferred to tablets which unfortunately did not work very well with me so i had to return to my doctor and we ended up in the very strange situation where he phoned up the pharmacist and i have called this hrt bingo, he named treatments and the pharmacist told him whether they were there are not. educate five or six goes before in the end i said, lets us get back to something i had before. different treatments, different patches will work better with different women. it is a very personal thing. why are we seeing the shortages? this shortage has been several months but that has reached a peak because most women, although the pharmacists have had them in stock, they have used it up as they are not able to get any new stock of some of the hrt products. why is that? it has been difficult to get accurate information from a lot of the companies. we are told
8:43 am
this is a combination of wholesale issues, so getting the supplies in, and also manufacturing issues where some companies have had problems actually producing the hrt product. what is the advice to women, because obviously they are tailored quite specifically to defend women, what is the advise? it is difficult, because sometimes it takes several months to get settled on a hrt, so it would then be told that they cannot find it in stock as a real issue, and women can become very anxious about it. i feel quite strongly that women should not be left to find their own hrt alternative. my advice to women is to give themselves plenty of lead time to get their repeat.” to give themselves plenty of lead time to get their repeat. i had a different story of someone i know who were struggling to get their regular contraceptive pill of stock issues, she was told that this was a brexit issue. is brexit in the picture here? it is interesting question, i would love to know the
8:44 am
us on question, i would love to know the us on myself. i am insured it is not, and women themselves can download a leaflet that i have written on the website at ed helps women to understand what the equivalent might be, because this lady talks about going from patches to pills but she could probably have changed to a different brand of patches. trying to match like—for—like is most useful. so that women do maintain their hrt in a very similar way. elizabeth, how important is it for you to your general sense of well—being to have access to this hrt? hrt has made such a difference to me. i was an anxious mess beforehand, to be honest. i would suffer very badly from mood swings, i would cry nonstop. silly things like my skin would start edging in the middle of the night. hrt has calmed all that down, so at the moment i do not want to be without it. so this is not a
8:45 am
luxury item, how are you planning to manage this? i have returned to patches, other they did it work 100%, i would say they were a good 80-90%. i am 100%, i would say they were a good 80—90%. i am very lucky in that, because i do a lot of work in this field, i have now learned of other ways of treating the bad times, so i started doing more yoga, meditating at night to help with the anxiety. i am looking at what aida, trying to get more healthy food into my diet. —— looking at what ie. trying to boost the hrt to tide me over when it is not what i need. that is helpful advice as well. thank you very much indeed. we don't want to start a panic. talk to your gp, that is the advice. women should not have to run out of hrt, there are plenty of alternatives, lots of stock availability, it may not be

identical, but the british menopause society has produced guidance for clinicians, so gps can go to the website and find out what they can prescribe. women should not have to go without. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. another day where the weather will cause a few issues, but the first a sad tale of this, one of the casualties of a strong wind across southern areas, lots of trees down, travel disruption. went has eased in southern areas today, but lots of ongoing problems that we had yesterday and again today is the heavy rain, and similar areas. southern scotland and northern england especially. this is where they could be further flooding. travel problems are possible, bbc local radio will keep you up—to—date. rain heaviest and
8:47 am
persistent in north wales, spreading back into northern england. joining forces with the rain across part of lanarkshire. rain across the north and west of scotland and northern ireland, heading southwards, easing through the day, sky is brightening, but a cool northerly wind. the south of the country best at chance of sunshine, a scattering of showers developing across central and western areas. taking a look at the details closer, heading towards apm, things brightening across scotland, northerly wind making it feel much chillier. rain across central scotland, heaviest rain around the central belt, parts of lanarkshire, lothian, the borders, cumbria and northumberland. these other areas prone to flooding. northern ireland sees brighter conditions this afternoon, some sunshine across parts of wales at the midlands and southern eglin, do not be surprised if you get caught out by further heavy and showers later, driest places in east anglia and the
8:48 am
south—east, highs of around 22 or 23, further north temperatures only to the mid—teens at the very best. a rather cool day for this stage in august. finishing the day, rain across southern scotland, northern england, continue through the night, focus across the north—east of england, either side showers continuing, early evening showers across parts of the south—east after what has been a dry day. partly clear skies into the morning, northerly breeze, tempt us into single figures quite widely in scotla nd single figures quite widely in scotland and northern ireland. monday, low pressure that has been with us preaching into scandinavia, trail of a weather front into northern areas of england, where we will see further rain. parts of yorkshire, heavy thundery showers close to the south—east and east anglia, elsewhere only a few isolated showers, many having a dry and brighter day than we have had recently. not especially warm, temperatures below the 20 degrees mark, most places in the mid to high
8:49 am
teens. we will stay with those temperature values as we go through this coming week. best of the sunshine on tuesday and thursday, but a quick heads up, if you have outdoor plans, particularly for england and wales, another area of low pressure could bring wet and windy weather. have those wet weather plans ready, and i cannot just finish with that, because throughout their will still be sunshine that we have this morning and parts of worcestershire. that is how it is looking. the damage plastic is causing to our oceans is well documented but scientists are learning more about how it makes its way into marine life. researchers from the university of exeter have found that unsuspecting green turtles are being fooled into eating it because it looks like their diet of sea grass. let's speak now to emily duncan who was involved in the research.
8:50 am
thank you for talking to us this morning. just expend how you were able to come to these conclusions. we wa nted able to come to these conclusions. we wanted to look at whether the plastic of the green hrt were adjusting resemble seagrass, so we looked at the type of plastic, colours and shapes that they adjust it. they tended to adjust long thin and green pieces of plastic more than what was in the environment. are these fatal to the turtles?m is hard to determine cause of death in plastic, but some small turtles are eating up to 183 pieces of plastic, and we are very surprised to find turtles that have not ingested plastic. it is definitely causing issues. this research was donein causing issues. this research was done in the waters off the south—west coast. done in the waters off the south-west coast. no, this research was done in the mediterranean, and more locally in cyprus. do you think
8:51 am
it is something that is replicated elsewhere? yes, this issue is worldwide. a lot of other of our research is carried out in australia and america, add a lot of them are ingesting plastic. what is the trend? are you seeing increasing numbers of turtles who are suffering in this way? yes, we are, and they are suffering and other ways. they could get entangled in marine plastic as well as ingesting it, so it is an issue. so what these to change? well, basically we need to highlight the problem, we hope this research motivates people to reduce plastic in their daily lives. then we can look at mitigating the worst types of plastic that are getting into the oceans. does it affect, i presume it does, other marine creatures ? presume it does, other marine creatures? yes, a lot of our other research is looking at how plastic affect marine mammals and sharks.
8:52 am
research is looking at how plastic affect marine mammals and sharksm terms of follow—up research, as they are more research planned to try and understand better what is going on? yes, the following research we are trying to understand better why the turtles are ingesting plastic, and also what species it is affecting most and maybe which life stage. because it can affect younger turtles more catastrophically than older ones? yes, smaller turtles are more likely to come into contact with it because of the movements of the ocean current and where they go out into the open ocean to develop. and also where they feed. a lot of the plastic floats on the surface of the plastic floats on the surface of the ocean and this is where these small baby turtles are feeding. we are very small baby turtles are feeding. we are very grateful for your time this morning. thank you. the premier league is back on our screens and now there's more ways than ever to watch your favourite team — which also means football fans are being asked to shell out more

is working across a whole load of broadcasters, which bt some about. he is working for the bbc and bt. there is a generation that does not see football as being owned by anyone person. for him it is natural that he was to share his talents across the different platforms as a pundit and across the different platforms as a punditand on across the different platforms as a pundit and on the show. joint—venture is quite a character. he isa joint—venture is quite a character. he is a liverpool fan. joint—venture is quite a character. he is a liverpoolfan. he is joint—venture is quite a character. he is a liverpool fan. he is saying to me, i am he is a liverpool fan. he is saying to me, iam not the he is a liverpool fan. he is saying to me, i am not the knowledge of the whole premier league. john bay shop is very much about that. he probably got it because it was going to his back garden. just as well, because thatis back garden. just as well, because that is what you are therefore, you are the knowledge and the expertise. i like the fund as well and i really enjoy. i don't want to be sitting there on the sofa as a statistician.

peter is doing some brilliant interviews, he did a good interview with steven gerard, and he asked questions that i don't think even in my bravest moments i would dare let come out of my mouth. that is because he has this history at a shared experience. you can go somewhere with somebody that may be even the most nhs journalists would feel a little bit rocky about. that is interesting, because that is one of the criticisms that has been levelled at former sports people have got back on to their sport to be an interviewer, that they don't ask the difficult questions, but gary neville does it. when i say difficult, he has not ever cheeky. it is kind of away from football, and finding out about that person. stephen gerard is a great example of someone who has had a veneer as a player and he was projected one image to the public as this solid, ha rd image to the public as this solid, hard working, there is a humorous side to him that peter tickles out.
